The dark moon is in the sky and the night is bright.
The whole world has gone quiet. Due to the prevalence of demon cultivators, the curfew orders in various places have finally had obvious effects after countless people died.
The candles flickered in the courtyard, and some were blown out by the wind from time to time.
In the corridor, Cui'er was nestled in the corner, wrapped in a quilt, looking at the window of the main room.
The wound on the leg was easily treated, but the temperature in Dianliangdu, which is located in the north, dropped sharply at night, and the wound was slightly inflamed and itched unbearably.
On the exposed arm, you can vaguely see unhealed scars, which are traces of being beaten.
Ever since the third young master joined the Tiangui sect and my aunt raised Mrs. Side, her whole world has changed.
She thought that good times were coming for slaves, but she only got endless beatings, scoldings, and insults.
The lady's temperament changed drastically. She no longer had the gentleness she once had. Instead, she became arrogant and mean, and did not regard her servants as human beings at all.
The sudden rise in status will also expose the dark side hidden deep in the heart. The current madam is not worthy of her loyalty at all.
Slowly getting up, Cui'er started from the corridors on both sides of her and blew out the burning candles one by one.
Not to mention, she quietly entered the house, and while the lady was sleeping, she blew out all the candles in the house one by one.
The bright courtyard suddenly turned dark. Cui'er touched the night and ran away without looking back.
At midnight, there was a scream, and Ruan Heng, who was sleeping in the side room, suddenly opened his eyes.
Looking sideways and looking out, there was only darkness.
mother!
Ruan Heng instantly jumped up and rushed out of the house.
Looking up, above the eaves and under the dark moon, Yixin's long figure stood against the light. Under his arm was a struggling person, none other than Mr. Sun!
"Mother!" Ruan Heng cried out in horror.
When Mrs. Sun heard the sound, she couldn't help but cry loudly: "Heng'er, save me!"
"Put down my mother!" Ruan Heng yelled angrily and flew forward.
But the man under the mysterious moon just waved his hand, and a powerful force struck him head-on, knocking Ruan Heng back to the ground.
The body hit the pillar, and the force was so strong that it made Ruan Heng's throat soar, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Looking up again, the man had disappeared with his mother!
Ruan Heng panicked instantly, and hurriedly flew after him regardless of his injuries.
On the other side, Ruan Li was sitting at his desk in the room, continuing to practice the art of talisman and seal script.
Fangze's consciousness was sitting aside, chatting with Ruan Li.
"Once you master it, you won't need to draw with a pen!"
Ruan Li looked up at him and smiled: "It's still early. It took Uncle Gu more than a hundred years to get rid of the stroke talisman."
The art of talisman and seal script begins with drawing talismans, which is already difficult for most people.
Use a pen to draw the talisman seal, and then pour spiritual power into it to activate the talisman seal.
But Gu Cinian has now got rid of the restriction of stroke talismans. With only a piece of spiritual enlightenment paper, he can directly use his spiritual power to move on the paper to form a talisman, and the talisman can be formed in an instant.
This is also Ruan Li's goal in practicing the art of Talisman and Seal Script.
"You have full spiritual intelligence, and it won't take that long to practice this method. Besides, your uncle, the cook, is also training you to accurately control your spiritual power. This method can be said to be open to all rivers, and it will be beneficial to every aspect of your practice, especially Fu Zhuan. Technique."
"If you control your spiritual power accurately, you can use your spiritual power to accurately draw the talisman seals and make the talisman accurately!" Ruan Li smiled and looked at Fangze: "Right?"
Fangze nodded: "Yes! The same goes for alchemy!"
Just thinking of Uncle Dishan, Ruan Li couldn't help but sigh: "Uncle Dishan has a bad temper. He will definitely be angry if I sneaked down the mountain in the middle of practice."
"Who wouldn't be angry?" Fangze said with a smile: "Everyone will be angry, and if you left a letter to the old man, he will know that you are in Dianliangdu, and someone is coming here. Take you back!"
"Ah?" Ruan Li was surprised: "No way?"
Fangze smiled and said nothing. For today's Tiangui Sect, the most unacceptable thing is that something happens to Ruan Li!
The appearance of the seventh-level spiritual root was reported to the ancestors in the upper world. If something happened to Ruan Li, the ancestors would only blame the lower world. No one would be able to bear the responsibility for such dereliction of duty.
At this moment, Fangze's expression faded and he said in a deep voice: "There is a demonic aura!"
Ruan Li paused and the talisman drew crookedly!
Rushing out of the room, Ruan Li glanced towards the roofs on all sides. Mu Jinyang heard the sound and ran out: "What's wrong, Ali?"
"A little uneasy." Ruan Li just said.
As soon as he finished speaking, a person flashed under the moonlight in the distance, and Ruan Li recognized it as Ruan Heng with just one glance.
"It's Ruan Heng!"
Ruan Li's eyes flashed and he immediately flew after him. Mu Jinyang did not hesitate and followed quickly.
Moving forward under the dark night, several people chased them outside a long-abandoned house on the edge of Dianliang City.
Ruan Heng wanted to rush in, but Ruan Li caught up and held him back: "Ruan Heng, what's going on?"
Ruan Heng turned around, with wet blood still hanging on the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were scarlet: "My mother... my mother was kidnapped by a demon cultivator!"
"What?" Mu Jinyang said in surprise and looked up at the mansion. The plaque on the door had fallen off. Apparently no one had lived there for a long time.
"There is not only evil spirit here, but also strong corpse spirit!" Fangze warned: "It may be very scary inside, so be careful!"
Ruan Li looked at the two of them. Ruan Heng's mother was still in the hands of the demon cultivator. He had no time to waste and could only remind him: "Be careful!"
The two nodded and flew in from above without taking the main entrance.
However, the scene in the courtyard made several people shudder. The courtyard was covered with swaying corpses, and it was so crowded that there was almost nowhere to stay.
Looking at the way these people died, they all had their souls sucked dry, it must be the work of demon cultivators!
And Ruan Li also discovered something special, that is, these dead people were all women!
"mother!"
Ruan Heng's scalp felt numb. Seeing these corpses was like seeing his mother, and he couldn't even suppress the cry in his voice.
Ruan Li and Mu Jinyang looked at each other. There were three rooms in front and on the left and right sides, and several people split up.
The two nodded, and Ruan Li reminded Ruan Heng: "Ruan Heng, go to the right. If there is an emergency, call us!"
Ruan Li stepped over the corpses and walked towards the house in the middle.
'Creak--' The door slowly opened, and the scene inside was worse than outside. The corpses were piled up like mountains.
An inexplicable chill ran up the soles of his feet from behind. Ruan Li suppressed the discomfort in his heart and released a ray of light from his palms, which instantly reflected the pale faces of these corpses.
And right at her feet, a shriveled corpse of a woman was leaning against the door frame. Her face could no longer be seen clearly. But what stunned Ruan Li was that the woman was still holding a corpse in her arms.
Small, delicate, fragile, helpless corpses.
She felt angry.
Uncontrollable anger!
