Chapter 26: Substitute (10)



The cat demon finally caught him, and of course refused to give up. He asked loudly: "This old man is very tough. He didn't burn to death even when he was set on fire. How come he died for no reason when you came? Are you..."

Xue Chenjing took a deep breath and cleared his throat, interrupting him in annoyance: "It gave all its spiritual power to me, and restored my meridians and broken bones."

He clenched his fists and tightly pinched the wound on his palms. He lowered his head, as if he was looking at the dead branches and leaves on the ground, and murmured with an unhappy face: "I don't want it to do this, I don't want it to sacrifice itself to fulfill me."

Yu Yi actually felt a trace of sadness from him. But it was probably from another soul in his body.

She leaned over and picked up a bunch of withered locust flowers. Before she stood up, the petals floated away from the dry stems. She had no choice but to let go and asked, "Did it leave any words?"

"There is an underground palace underneath." Xue Chenjing calmed down and walked to the place where the locust tree spirit was before it disappeared. He stretched out his hand and pressed the place it touched last. "After it mentioned it, I remembered that there is indeed an underground palace underneath."

Xue Chenjing had only skimmed Ji Hanyi's memory before, focusing on the battle between the little bird demon and the human demon, and didn't pay much attention to other things.

After the locust tree spirit reminded him, he remembered that he had seen the contents of this underground palace in Ji Hanyi's memory.

Xue Chenjing closed his eyes and carefully recalled his memory. His palm groped along the broken altar from left to right. Green spiritual light flowed from his fingertips, lighting up the eyes of several reliefs on the altar one by one.

Finally, he gathered spiritual power in his palm and pushed hard at a brick on the altar. Spiritual lines shot out from his hands at a rapid speed, cutting through the bricks of the altar. These bricks were split apart at an extremely fast speed and then re-pile, and finally formed a white stone archway with three rooms and four pillars. A plaque

was hung under the eaves in the middle of the archway, with gold characters on a black background, and the three words "Anhun Hall" were inscribed on it. On the two pillars in the middle were written the couplets "Do not invade evil spirits" and "Do not disturb demons".

"The real ancestral hall of the Ji family is actually behind this memorial archway." Xue Chenjing said. Li

Su stretched his neck to look up and down at the memorial archway that appeared out of thin air, and said angrily: "You Ji family actually used a fake ancestral hall to deceive us. Human cultivators are really insidious and cunning!"

Xue Chenjing ignored the stupid cat. He closed his eyes and tried to dig out more information from Ji Hanyi's memory.

But the Hall of Requiem is an important place for the Ji family. I don't know if he doesn't know much or if he guards this part of his memory too strictly. Xue Chenjing couldn't dig out more information from his memory for a while, so he didn't know what the situation was in the Hall of Requiem.

His tentacles were at a distance from the memorial archway. He carefully scanned the door couplet above and asked Yu Yi, "Do you want to go in?"

Yu Yi nodded. Of course she wanted to go in. The center of the soul-soothing array must be in this underground palace. If she wanted to break the soul-soothing array and release the earth-bound spirits all over the city, she had to go in and take a look.

Huai Li's soul said timidly, "Ayi, do we really have to go in?"

Yu Yi comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Huai Li hesitated for a moment, and the little bird soul nodded its head, and as always, chose to believe her.

The withering of the big locust tree in the ancestral hall also attracted the attention of the Xuandan Mountain demon clan, and some demons began to gather here. Yu Yi did not delay, focused her mind, and walked into the gatehouse. Li

Su suddenly reached out to hold her back. His expression was firm, and his golden eyes were full of the girl's projection. He deliberately softened his voice and said, "I'll go in first. If there is no danger, you can follow me in."

Li Su said without waiting for a reply, turned around, and walked into the gatehouse cautiously.

The cat demon boy was tall and slender, with a straight back. Under his clothes, the taut muscles on his back could be seen. He had a pair of cat ears on his head, and his earlobes turned back and forth, listening vigilantly to the sounds from all sides.

Under the extremely thin waist, six fluffy tails spread out like a fan, and the back figure standing in front of her without hesitation looked stable and reliable.

The little bird demon chirped, and the little bird soul suddenly became warm. Her emotions infected Yu Yi, causing the heart of this body to thump.

Yu Yi's face flushed and she held her pounding heart in surprise, wondering, "Huai Li?"

The bird demon flapped its wings to fan itself, its soul was red, and it panicked, "What, what happened? I don't know what happened."

Yu Yi took a deep breath and threatened the bird demon in her heart, "Don't distract me. If we run into any mechanism and I don't react in time, you will become a dead bird."

Huai Li was frightened by her, stopped spinning, buried his head in his wings, and tried to suppress his turbulent emotions.

Yu Yi couldn't help but smile.

From behind came the system's sigh of regret: "Master, please fight for your courage. You should rush forward at this time to protect the heroine and keep her behind you! Instead of letting a cat demon snatch away this great opportunity to gain favor."

Xue Chenjing was stunned for a moment, and turned the system's reminder over in his mind. Only then did he realize that it was no wonder that her heartbeat was so fast just now.

He thought in annoyance: "Why didn't you remind me earlier?"

System: "..." Do you need me to feed you a spoonful of rice? Can't you be a little aware of it yourself?

But now, it's too late for Xue Chenjing to show off. Li Su had already stepped into the gatehouse, and Yu Yi followed him in. He could only huff and puff and followed.

A layer of white light like a water film suddenly appeared in the doorway of the white stone archway, and the inscriptions on the doorposts on both sides lit up at the same time. At the same time, Li Su, who had disappeared behind the gatehouse, uttered a warning meow, and was then violently shaken out by a strong force. @無限好文,盡在晉江文学城

Yu Yi reacted very quickly and dodged to the side. Half of her body was trapped in the white light of the gatehouse. Suddenly, she felt a huge suction force coming, and there was a strange feeling of separation on her body. She heard Huai Li's surprised cry in her ear: "Ayi?"

Yu Yi turned around and saw Huai Li staring at her with wide eyes.

She quickly looked down at herself and realized that they had separated. Huai Li saw her face and stretched out his arms in joy to touch her, "Ayi, I finally see you, Ayi."

But the barrier blocked the two of them, and Huai Li was unable to touch her after all.

Yu Yi was sucked into the archway with great force, and the little bird demon was bounced out by the barrier on the door.

"Ayi! Ayi!"

Yu Yi only heard Huai Li's last two calls, and the scene in front of her completely changed, and she stepped into the underground palace of the Hall of Requiem.

At the other end of the archway, Li Su and Huai Li were bounced out by the archway barrier one after another. The cat demon reacted very quickly, twisting its body flexibly in mid-air, and as soon as its toes touched the ground, it flew over and caught Huai Li who was knocked out.

Xue Chenjing's demon spirits were originally following Yu Yi closely, but at this time they were all blocked by the barrier.

He opened his arms to catch a large group of transparent demon spirits that bounced back, turned his head, and although his eyes were covered with gauze, he accurately found the direction of the bird demon and asked, "Did Yu Yi go in?"

At that moment, Huai Li felt the gazes from all directions, as if countless pairs of eyes were staring at her.

She couldn't help but shudder, and all the goosebumps on her body stood up and danced. She ignored Li Su's nervous questioning and nodded blankly, "In, in."

"Yu Yi? Who is Yu Yi?" The cat demon was confused.

Xue Chenjing ignored them and turned around and plunged into the doorway of the white stone archway. The inscriptions on both sides of the doorpost lit up again, and a water film-like barrier appeared in front of him. His figure was trapped in the white light of the barrier, and he was in a stalemate with the two edicts.

Evil spirits should not invade, and demons should not disturb.

"Hehe, I just want to invade and see." Xue Chenjing sneered, and the devil's breath overflowed from his body, wrapped around his hands, opened his five fingers and inserted them into the barrier in front of him, tearing it hard to both sides.

The veins on the back of his hands were bulging, and his joints were white from the force he exerted. The barrier was shaking violently, and the edict on the doorpost shone brighter. The sword lights and shadows of exorcising demons shot out from the barrier and slashed down at him.

The random sword lights swept to the ancestral hall behind him. Li Su hurriedly hugged Huai Li and ran out of Huai'an Hall.

Huai Li grabbed Li Su's shoulders and said anxiously: "My Lord, what should I do? And Ayi!"

"Don't worry about them!" Li Su was annoyed, "You always care so much, and you can put everyone in your heart. Can't you just focus on me? Just look at me!"

Li Su was emotionally excited and couldn't dodge in time. He was hit by the sword on the back and legs. He knelt on the ground with blood at the corner of his mouth.

The sword light of the demon-killing sword came overhead, surrounding them. Li Su raised his hand to protect Huai Li's head, lowered his body, and pressed her whole body under him.

"Li Su!" The dense sword light flickered down, Huai Li raised her head and looked at him nervously. At a close distance, her wide eyes were filled with his figure, only his figure.

"That's it, just look at me." Li Su smiled with satisfaction, but soon his smile froze on his face.

The five-colored bird spread its wings, and the wings hugged him from bottom to top, covering the cat demon's head. Li Su's heart was in his throat, and his voice was about to break, "Stupid bird! What are you doing? Do you want to die? Quickly retract your wings!"

Huai Li hugged his neck, closed his eyes tightly, and ignored his roar.

The rain of swords fell, making sharp clanging sounds.

The expected pain did not come. Huai Li opened his eyes and looked up, passing over Li Su's shoulder, and from the separated feathers, he saw a delicate and charming figure blocking them.

The white skirt of the Xuandan Mountain Lord fluttered as she held a snow-white umbrella in her hand. The umbrella was thin and translucent, and the top was covered with a layer of hard snake scales, which were made of the snake skin she had shed herself. The umbrella collided with the falling sword rain, and with the clanging of swords, the sword rain was completely blown away.

Xuan Dan glanced back at the two little demons behind him, "Why don't you hurry up?"

"Thank you, Mountain Master." Huai Li was grateful and quickly retracted his wings. He propped up the cat demon and walked out of the ancestral hall, comforting him, "Li Su is okay, we are not dead, the Mountain Master is here to save us."

Li Su's heart was still contracting, as if he was being tightly grasped in someone's hand, and he hadn't recovered yet. His limbs were a little soft, but the fingers holding Huai Li were tightly clamped. He said angrily with a trembling voice: "Who asked you to protect me? If you die, I will definitely eat you, I will definitely eat you!"

Huai Li's eyes widened, and he shrank his neck in fear, and whispered: "Didn't we agree on this? Why do you want to eat me again?"

"So, you'd better not die, don't die for anyone." Li Su squeezed out these words from between his teeth, then tightened his arms, leaned on her shoulder and begged in a low voice, "Huai Li, I beg you."

Huai Li raised her hand and touched his head, "Don't worry, I won't."

The area outside the ancestral hall was full of monsters, but no one dared to step in because of the sudden burst of swords. @無限好文,盡在晉江文學城 After

the sword light dissipated, the ancestral hall that had long been dilapidated finally collapsed completely, and even the dead locust tree next to it fell to the ground and was chopped into sawdust.

The surroundings were razed to the ground, leaving only the three-bay four-pillar white stone archway in the middle standing in place.

The Lord of Xuandan Mountain looked at the figure under the archway with fear, put away his snow-white umbrella, stepped out of the ruins, ordered his men to capture the two little monsters, and asked, "What's going on?"

Li Suhun was covered in blood, and stood in front of Huai Li with his back straight. He did not mention how they got here, and why he was with Ji Hanyi. He shouted, "Huai'an Hall is fake, and the Ji family tablets enshrined in it are all fake. Behind that archway is the real Ji family ancestral hall!"

The monsters became agitated, and they were excited. They took out their weapons and wanted to rush up, but were suppressed by Xuandan Yang.

"You should know what will happen to those who betray me." The master of Xuandan Mountain looked at Li Su and the other man with her delicate and demonic eyes, and ordered them to be guarded and dealt with later.

She returned her attention to the white stone archway and ordered, "Surround here first and wait for my order."

The demons followed the order and scattered, surrounding the archway.

Under the archway, the dark magic breath and the barrier were entangled together. The decree on the door was integrated with the cultivation of more than one person in the Ji family. The cultivation of dozens of generations was condensed in this barrier, making it difficult for Xue Chenjing to break through.

The light of the decree on the doorpost, which contained the magic power of the ancestors of the Ji family, made Ji Hanyi's soul clear for a moment.

Ji Hanyi could no longer endure the strong demonic aura from Xue Chenjing. Even though the immortal had lost his cultivation and had been sinking in the ghost realm for thousands of years, his soul was devoured by the demonic aura, he still had a bit of his own Dao heart and had not completely fallen.

Without any hesitation, he quickly recited the exorcism spell with his solid Dao heart.

Xue Chenjing was caught off guard and his soul was hit directly by the exorcism spell.

His soul was severely damaged. Under the attack from both inside and outside, his steps loosened and he was forced to retreat backwards. At the same time, he felt a sense of dissociation from his body.

Xue Chenjing was shaken out of the barrier, and the gauze covering his eyes loosened and fell off. He opened his eyes, his pupils were dark and bright, and he squinted to watch Ji Hanyi's figure fall into the barrier.

The two of them separated completely, and Ji Han also entered the barrier. Like the little bird demon, he was shocked out by the decree on the doorpost.

The person who fell out of the barrier had beautiful long black curly hair, and the red-gold hairband intertwined with the black hair, flying in the air.

The cat demon narrowed his eyes, and his rapidly trembling pupils captured the other party's facial features. He lowered his head and asked the person in his arms, "Who is he? What else are you hiding from me?"

Afraid of being heard by the master of Xuandan Mountain in front of him, he lowered his voice very low, with a kind of helplessness of gritting his teeth.

Huai Li covered his lips with his hands and looked forward with wide eyes, "They also separated."

The immortal entered the back of the archway, and he should be safe.

Under the archway, Xue Chenjing pressed his chest, and the exorcism spell that Ji Hanyi recited seemed to still linger in his body. The demon in his heart surged painfully.

Xue Chenjing paced in front of the white stone archway with a gloomy face, the damn exorcism spell tumbling in his mind. He shook his head vigorously, "Shut up! Shut up!"

He couldn't help bending over and vomiting, as if he wanted to spit out the exorcism spell that was buzzing in his body from his throat.

Xue Chenjing's whole face turned red, and even his eyes were almost bloodshot. He fell to the ground, raised his hands to cover his mouth and nose, and covered his mouth tightly, trying to stop the useless twitching in his throat.

After a long time, the sound of the exorcism spell finally faded in his mind.

Xue Chenjing let go of his hands and gasped. He raised his sleeves to wipe the wetness on his face, and tilted his head to look at the white stone archway standing beside him.

Being separated from Yu Yi again made him extremely anxious.

Only five minutes left, clearly only five minutes left.

After his breathing calmed down, Xue Chenjing closed his eyes and sank into the sea of ​​his heart.

He passed through the chaotic demonic shadows in his sea of ​​heart, walked past the oath monument, and went straight into the white light deep in his sea of ​​heart.

The familiar temple in the belly of the mountain appeared before his eyes. Xue Chenjing stepped into the hall and said to the person sitting quietly on the futon: "Go out and help me find someone, find her and take her out of that ghost town."

The person on the futon stood up and turned to face him.

The two stood together, like a pair of twins, with similar stature and facial features, even the long hair hanging behind their heads and the curling arcs at the ends of their hair are exactly the same.

It's just that one has a gloomy expression and the other has a gentle temperament, as if they are two extremes.

"Is it the girl who came to my place before?" the man asked gently.

Xue Chenjing nodded, approached him and warned him in a deep voice: "Don't do anything unnecessary. You should know that I can sense your every move now and can seal you back here at any time, my good brother."

The other man smiled helplessly, and was not angry at his bad tone. He said: "Okay, I'll listen to you." The man

in front of the white stone archway opened his eyes again. The congestion in his eyes had not completely subsided, and his eye sockets were red, but his eyes looked clear and bright, comparable to the lake surface under the sun.

At this time, the night faded away and the morning sun rose. The sunlight in the ghost domain was also miserable white, without the slightest warmth, but he had not seen the sun for a long time, and he was extremely happy to see the sun again.

He looked up, his pupils filled with sunshine, took a deep breath, and a nostalgic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He

was obviously the same person, but in the blink of an eye, his temperament had changed drastically.

The system immediately noticed his change and said excitedly: "Master? You finally came out, Master."
