Do You Know How to Capture a Villain?

Ji Qingzhuo watched as Shen Rongyu finished eating the pastries in the wooden box. He is not a sweet person, so he was willing to eat all of them.

She asked him, "Is it delicious?"

Shen Rongyu's head was exposed from the thick blanket, and when he spoke, there was white breath on his lips: "It's delicious."

"After I manage the lantern show well, I should be able to get some rewards." Ji Qingzhuo thought about his work.

She is a very serious person, and once she accepts a task, she will try her best to do it—the same goes for system tasks. Although she didn't like the system's clearing tasks at first, she still tried her best to get close to Shen Rongyu.

"It's just a small country." There was a disdainful smile on Shen Rongyu's lips.

He did have the capital to say this, after all, many years ago, the Liang country was just a small country affiliated to the Dongshan royal family.

The so-called rewards in the palace, he who inherited the inheritance of the Dongshan royal family, had as much as he wanted.

—He doesn't seem to have any reason to resent this world of cultivating immortals, so that he wants to destroy it. He has everything in identity, status, strength, and prestige, so why would he push himself and this world into an irreversible conflict? What about the situation?

"It's huge." Ji Qingzhuo said to him.

She knew that her moment of peace was not easy to come by.

"Before I joined Xuanyunzong, I thought about going out for a trip." Perhaps because the atmosphere is too good now, Ji Qingzhuo talked about herself to Shen Rongyu for the first time. The need for others to share. However, Shen Rongyu is sitting beside her now, so quiet, as if listening carefully, she just said it out.

"Travel?" As a monk, Shen Rongyu obviously had difficulty understanding this word.

"It's just going out to play outside." Ji Qingzhuo said softly, "I want to go to the beach because I've never been there before."

For Shen Rongyu, a journey of thousands of miles is only a few days, so he doesn't think looking at the sea is a luxury.

But...it seems to be in a deep, deep memory...he felt that he seemed to be unable to remember something again.

"There is a small picture album in my room." Ji Qingzhuo tried his best to point to the travel magazines sealed in his room before, "I saw my mark next to the seaside scenery in the picture album."

"I marked the birds in the sky as fish, and the fish in the sea as birds. I thought flying birds had scales, and swimming fish had wings." When Ji Qingzhuo said this, his tone was very serious, word by word. Suddenly.

Shen Rongyu laughed at her softly again.

"It happened when I was a child." Ji Qingzhuo patted her head, she really forgot, but she thought, she must have been a very stupid person before.

But the sea is so transparent, and the sky is so blue. According to the travel magazine, the water is blue and the sky is clear, fish and birds swim, and the island style, which makes her admit that she has never seen the seaside scenery, and it seems that there is no problem.

—Actually, Ji Qingzhuo didn’t know that her label in the magazine was wrong until she saw Yu Sukong in the water mirror, but she didn’t have the nerve to say so.

Shen Rongyu said to her: "If you want to see it now, I will take you to see it."

"Let's finish the things here first." Ji Qingzhuo's voice was still soft.

The voice was very soft, but it still tugged at Shen Rongyu's heartstrings, and his heart ached again inexplicably.

He held her wrist with his backhand, his palm was warm, and he asked, "Do you practice?"

"En." Ji Qingzhuo nodded.

Another spiritual energy poured in from the place where the two people's skins touched, Ji Qingzhuo's consciousness floated up, and he came to the cultivation space.

The red airflow still rushed towards her, Ji Qingzhuo was about to push him away a little, but the red airflow just kissed the corner of her lips lightly, and then lifted her onto Xiantan.

"Zuo Zhuo, look." The red air flow transformed into a chaotic figure, sitting beside her, he motioned her to look towards the sea of ​​blood.

The sea of ​​blood that was originally surging was calm at this time, but occasionally some small waves would blow, and small objects would shuttle in the water.

Although Ji Qingzhuo's eyes were a little bit astringent, he still rubbed his eyes and looked in the direction of the blood sea. He saw that the red air flow transformed into many small fish in the blood sea. They were different from the normal fish in the outside world. Wing, which looks weird, but still shakes its nimble tail, circling around her.

Looking up at the sky again, the red air protruding from the sea turned into birds, and their bodies were covered with feather-shaped scales. At this time, the scales moved, as if resonating with the ubiquitous wind, allowing the wind to pass through the feathers The gaps between the scales support them to ride the wind.

But in fact, fish can't swim, and birds can't fly into the sky. This is all an illusion created by the red airflow.

Even so, Ji Qingzhuo still liked it very much. Her eyes hurt a little after watching it for a long time, so she sat by the seaside, and the surrounding fish and birds all approached her and surrounded her.

"That night, after seeing the scene at Master Yu's place, I realized that I had misunderstood." Ji Qingzhuo grabbed a bird with feathery scales into his arms, "But, I like this one better. "

She stood up and fell into the center of the sea of ​​blood with her head up. The red air flow naturally supported her and led her to sink deep.

The practice efficiency in recent days is very high. Ji Qingzhuo quickly broke through the hurdle of the Qi Refining Stage, reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, and then practiced nine major stages, which is the Golden Core Stage.

If she reaches the golden core stage, she can put the umbrella she likes into her body, and take it out to use whenever she wants.

For this reason, Ji Qingzhuo hopes to come to Jindan soon, but she has a lot to do these days.

She did not perfuse the preparations for the Lantern Festival. She had confirmed everything. However, what she has determined now is only the basic process. The rest of the parts that need to be creative cannot be left to her imagination. She needs to consult the people in power in the palace. Opinion.

Needless to say, the emperor of the Liang Kingdom, Ji Qingzhuo had never met him, and the female official also said that he was not interested in these vain rituals.

The emperor had no other relatives, and there were no concubines in the palace. Strictly speaking, this palace was extremely lonely—so the few people from the House of Internal Affairs could manage the entire palace in an orderly manner.

The only person who needs to be consulted is the opinion of the "adult" in the palace.

The female official arranged a time for Ji Qingzhuo to enter the palace to meet her. Before leaving, she told Ji Qingzhuo several times that she should not be too afraid when she saw that adult, just treat her like an ordinary person .

This made Ji Qingzhuo mistakenly think that the adult in the palace was ugly, so when she entered the palace today, she was also a little uneasy.

Shen Rongyu followed her, holding the Burial Snow Sword sheathed in his hand, he comforted her: "No matter how ugly you are, you won't be as ugly as a spider with a human face."

"Evil demons with the strength of the Nascent Soul stage already have spiritual wisdom and will find ways to dress themselves up." Shen Rongyu said in a cold tone, even with a hint of dismissive ridicule.

"Spiritual wisdom..." Ji Qingzhuo said softly, "When something has spiritual wisdom, it will be different."

"It's different." Of course Shen Rongyu understands this truth, killing a person is completely different from killing an animal.

The appearance of demons is wrong. From the very beginning, the ghost energy of the earth veins cannot be deposited to the point where such powerful demons can be born. The demons will devour humans in turn, reducing the number of monks, and there will be less aura to be abused. Similarly, The ghost energy of the earth veins will also decrease after many years, and the two sides will reach a dynamic balance. This is the law of the world of cultivating immortals.

The mistake is that demons have spiritual intelligence, and their emergence is closely related to the negative emotions of human beings.

Once the party that should be eager to kill has a human consciousness, more troubles will arise.

This Xuedu Imperial Palace is one of the big troubles. Shen Rongyu understood this truth after hearing the rumors that the Emperor Liang was bewitched.

They came all the way to the place where the adult lived in the palace. This palace has a very special name called "Candle Palace".

The palace was very empty. Those beautifully decorated palaces should have been full of Yingying and Yanyan in the harem, but Xuedu Palace was too deserted.

"Candle Palace." Ji Qingzhuo opened his lips and silently read the words on the plaque. The word "candle" was already very evil.

She came to the palace gate of the Candle Palace, and then the two scarlet gates slowly opened, and there was a silent maid with her head bowed behind the gate.

Ji Qingzhuo and Shen Rongyu walked into the palace. The floor was covered with blue bricks, and the snow on them had been swept away and piled up in the corner of the palace wall. The boring maids piled them into a rickety snowman.

The entire Candle Palace felt extremely quiet. When Ji Qingzhuo walked into the main hall, she couldn't speak at all, so in the cold hall, only the footsteps of her and Shen Rongyu remained.

The furnishings in the hall are also simple. An incense table is placed on the main seat, and two long candles are lit on the left and right sides, swaying in the wind.

There are many translucent curtains arranged inside, and when the wind blows outside the hall, they will flutter and be indistinct.

Ji Qingzhuo was not afraid either, he only held a booklet in his hand, and stood in the center of the hall. The magistrate said that she had made an appointment for her, and that the lord who wanted to come to the palace would definitely appear.

At this time, there was a light laughter from above her head, as clear as a silver bell: "Hee hee—"

Ji Qingzhuo was so startled by the inhuman laughter that seemed to be metal that his back broke out in a cold sweat.

"Xiao Tan said that a little mute will come this year, but unexpectedly it is really a little mute, yo, he even brought a mouth." The voice continued to speak above Ji Qingzhuo's head.

The "mouth" she mentioned is naturally Shen Rongyu.

Shen Rongyu's posture was relaxed. The moment he entered the hall, he sensed the aura of demons in the hall, and quickly judged her race.

It is an extremely rare type of demon named "Candle Moth".

Ji Qingzhuo continued to remain silent. She looked at the two burning candles in the hall, and her eyes were indifferent. What should she respond to?

She is not very good at dealing with others, even demons with human IQ are the same.

"Little dumb, don't you look up at me?" Candle Moth coaxed Ji Qingzhuo again - such a dumb person, it is easy for some bad-hearted people to have the desire to tease her.

"Those who don't like me will be eaten by me," she said.

Ji Qingzhuo raised his head and looked at Candle Moth leaning on the beam. Candle Moth was wearing a plain dress, black and gray in color, with big soft sleeves that seemed to have patterns of eyes on it.

She has a pair of beautiful eyes, and her appearance is unexpectedly cute. Perhaps because of the snow, there are furry ornaments around her wrists and neck, and two tentacles hang down from her head.

Indeed... not very human, Ji Qingzhuo thought.

In the face of intelligent creatures, she dare not meet their eyes, so Ji Qingzhuo looked away and landed on the round hair bun of Candle Moth.

Unexpectedly, when the bun was turned around, a cold gaze looked at her, and Ji Qingzhuo felt that he was staring at something.

"Hee hee, here are my eyes." Candle moth helped her bun with one hand.
