The two returned to the inn. Yi Xichen took out the blue crystal of pure water from the shadow lamp, and his eldest grandson Jun fetched a basin of water.
Yi Xichen said, "I just entered the demon cave, and the shadow lamp was not there. I was shocked. There was no one in the demon cave. I waited inside for a while, and Yue Xiaorou came back. I quickly hid. She took the shadow lamp out, and I thought she found out that the lamp was mine, but she put it down and went out again. I quickly took the lamp back."
He carefully placed the blue crystal into the water and said, "Hurry up and see if you have anything written down."
Fei Ji was originally playing on the beam, and seemed to find this thing novel and interesting, so he jumped down from the beam, landed on Yi Xichen's shoulder, and watched with them.
Soon, various colors overflowed from the pure blue crystal and spread in the water, gradually forming a moving picture.
The light flickered, it was the eldest grandson, Jun, who had lit the shadow lamp. From where he had originally placed it, he could vaguely see a few figures lying in the cave, but they were not clear.
Not long after, a chubby-faced boy with a pigtail and a thin young man walked out. It seemed that these two people were Tuan Tuan and Xiao Ying in human form.
The two did not suspect the shadow lamp and thought it was brought back by Yue Xiaorou. They also took the shadow lamp into the main cave.
There was already a fire in the main cave, and when the shadow lamp was brought in, it immediately became brighter. However, when they saw the situation in the main cave clearly, the eldest grandson Zijun and Yi Xichen both widened their eyes at the same time, and even Fei Ji, who came to watch the excitement, couldn't help but let out a "chi"!
In addition to the monsters they had seen today, there were three more monsters chained up in the cave. The monsters in this snowy valley should be white, but the three monsters were pitch black, standing out from the crowd. Two of them were lying on their stomachs and it was hard to tell what they were. They seemed to be canine monsters, and the other one was a giant black python. They panted and struggled, but the chains trapped them and they couldn't break free.
The three monsters were clearly not in their right minds, and looked in pain as if they were seriously ill. The painful gasps that Zhang Sunzijun and Yi Xichen had heard all night were made by them.
The eldest grandson Zijun and Yi Xichen both had a guess in their minds: these monsters were probably possessed by demons. But why would the possessed monsters stay with the ice monsters? And why were there so many possessed monsters at the same time?
Tuan Tuan, who had transformed into a human form, walked over, squatted beside them, and stroked their fur one by one to comfort them. His expression was very sad.
Just at this time, Yue Xiaorou came back.
Yue Xiaorou and Tuantuan said a few words and then went into the cave. She glanced at the three monsters, sat down next to the black python, hugged the python into her arms, and touched its body intimately.
Looking at the body and scales of the giant python, one could tell that it was very old. Perhaps, it was the mother-in-law that Yue Xiaorou mentioned.
It was very silent in the demon cave. Gradually, the white and black monsters all fell asleep. Yue Xiaorou also fell asleep holding the giant python.
Last night, they used the sound-eating insect to listen to the movements of the whole night, knowing that it was a very quiet night, and nothing happened. Yi Xichen urged his magic power to speed up the release of the pure water blue crystal, intending to skip this night. However, he had just urged it for a while when he heard the eldest grandson Zijun say: "Wait a minute!"
Yi Xichen stopped immediately and saw Yue Xiaorou rolling on the ground with her arms hugged!
He was stunned, not knowing what had happened, and quickly stepped back a little.
Yue Xiaorou was sleeping with the giant python in her arms, but suddenly she woke up, her brows knitted, and she slowly moved away from the giant python. All the monsters in the cave were asleep, and no one noticed her movements.
She moved to an empty corner and hugged her arms. She raised her arms slightly, and her sleeves slid down, revealing the black hexagram mark.
At this moment, Feiji suddenly flapped his wings and flew up! He circled above the water basin. He seemed to hate the mark very much and wanted to peck at the figure in the water with his mouth! The eldest grandson Jun was afraid that he would destroy the blue crystal of the pure water, so he quickly grabbed his wings and put him back on the table.
Feiji was now much more intelligent and knew that it was just a basin of water and it couldn't do anything. So it flew back to Yi Xichen's shoulder.
Yue Xiaorou opened her mouth, gasped for air, and curled up, looking extremely painful. But she made no sound at all - they didn't hear Yue Xiaorou make a sound yesterday, and none of the monsters were awakened.
She clutched her arm tightly, that place was hurting, she used her nails to dig hard at the mark, and her arm was bloody.
Yi Xichen had entered Qiao Jue's sea of consciousness and had seen similar scenes. It was obvious that Yue Xiaorou had done something against the devil's wishes, and the devil was using this method to warn her!
The pain was getting worse, and Yue Xiaorou couldn't vent it, so she rolled on the ground. After a while, she was sweating profusely. However, she stood up again and walked out weakly holding on to the wall.
What did she go out for? To meet that devil? No, that's not right! Last night, Zhang Sunzijun didn't hear her say a word. In the second half of the night, he seemed to hear the sound of the wind that he didn't hear in the first half of the night. Yue Xiaorou was afraid of being discovered by the monster in the cave, so she went out to hide alone!
After Yue Xiaorou left, Yi Xichen increased the speed of releasing the shadow lamp. Before dawn, Yue Xiaorou came back again, looking normal, as if nothing had happened. The monsters in the cave also gradually woke up. Yue Xiaorou gave the ice monsters a few words of advice, and they left the cave one after another.
Yue Xiaorou grabbed the iron chain that trapped the three black monsters, cast a Taoist spell to lift them up, and was about to take them away when she suddenly turned around to look at the shadow lamp on the table.
She thought about it, picked up the shadow lamp, and took the three monsters out.
Yi Xichen and his eldest grandson, Zijun, were puzzled. Did Yue Xiaorou find out? If she did, why would she let them take the Shape Light back? When Yue Xiaorou came out of the demon cave, they realized that it was still very dark outside and the sun had not yet risen. She treated the Shape Light as an ordinary lantern and took it out to illuminate. This made it easier for Yi Xichen and his eldest grandson, Zijun, to see what she did next.
Yue Xiaorou led the three monsters to the back of a small hill. The reverse slope of the hill was hollow. She walked in and found a hot spring underneath. The snowy valley was covered with thick snow and no flowering plants, but the hot spring was surrounded by flowers and Ganoderma lucidum, showing how strong the spiritual energy was.
They had not discovered this hot spring when they were flying overhead because the protruding ice wall blocked the scenery below. Looking down from the air, all they could see was a vast expanse of white.
The three black monsters tied with iron chains kept gasping in pain. As Yue Xiaorou soaked them in the hot spring, their painful expressions gradually faded.
Yi Xichen was stunned for a while, then suddenly said, "I know! I know why there are so many demon cultivators in Dongchun Town! They all come here for this hot spring!"
Just by looking at the scenery around the hot spring, you can tell how strong the spiritual energy of the hot spring is. However, they had flown over the Ice and Snow Valley. Even if they couldn't see the spring, they should have been able to sense its spiritual energy, but they didn't. This further shows that this spring is rare and its spiritual energy does not leak out. If they can soak in it, it will be extremely beneficial.
Those who are at risk of going astray can calm their minds and suppress their demonic energy by soaking in this spring. And if one is originally a demon cultivator, soaking in this spiritual spring can dilute the demonic energy on his body and better conceal his identity as a demon cultivator!
Yi Xichen said: "This spiritual spring can suppress the evil spirit!"
As if to prove what he said, a black monster suddenly faded away, and the black color on its body gradually faded away, revealing snow-white fur, which was no different from other ice monsters!
Yi Xichen glared: "Oh my god, this is too magical, right? Black is directly washed white?"
The eldest grandson, Jun, frowned and said, "I understand!"
He was the one listening to the sound from the listening bug on Yue Xiaorou's body. When the demon cultivator exploded and died this morning, Yue Xiaorou said, "Xiao'e, you're awake," and it was obvious that she was talking to this monster!
In the shadow scene, Yue Xiaorou seemed to have heard something and quickly dragged the monster she called Xiao'e out of the spiritual spring, untied the iron chain on her body, grabbed the shadow lamp and ran back to the monster cave. Xiao'e had just escaped from the clutches of the monster and was still half-conscious and weak. Yue Xiaorou quickly put Xiao'e and the shadow lamp in the monster cave and ran out again. Next, Yi Xichen appeared in the scene and took the shadow lamp away.
That was the end of the story recorded by the Shadow Light.
"I understand everything." The eldest grandson Jun clenched his fists tightly, "It's about exchanging sacrifices. It's the condition for her to exchange with that devil!"
Yi Xichen was slightly startled, and immediately understood what he meant: "So that's it!"
The eldest grandson, Jun, grabbed the Cangyun Sword and jumped out of the window!
However, at this moment, a softer voice came from the eavesdropping bug again.
"Xiao'e is awake too. I found a new ice valley. You guys can move there first."
Tuan Tuan asked in a voice: "What about Grandma and Xiao Chai?"
Yue Xiaorou said: "You go first, and when they wake up, I will..." Her voice suddenly stopped.
After a moment, she panicked and said, "You guys, what happened to you? Tuantuan? Tuantuan!!"
The eldest grandson, Zijun, had never heard Yue Xiaorou trembling like this!
He immediately raised his sword and flew towards the ice and snow valley!
But a moment later, he heard Yue Xiaorou's hateful roar: "What did you do to them?! Didn't you agree that I would find a sacrifice for you and you would let them go?"
A hoarse laugh came over: "Hahaha..."
The eldest grandson Zijun and Yi Xichen gasped at the same time. The eldest grandson Zijun listened to Yue Xiaorou, and Yi Xichen listened to Tuantuan. They both heard the laughter. That devil was actually beside Yue Xiaorou!
"Why would I care about these dirt-like guys? Yue Xiaorou, you know that all I wanted from the beginning was him. I asked you to get close to him, why don't you do it obediently?"
