long night walk

Chapter 553 The Forest of Beiyuan
Ning Feiyan's injuries broke out, and she couldn't protect herself, so she didn't have time to take care of the red makeup, and seeing her lazy appearance, Bai Lian thought she had spare hands, and would not waste her energy on her.

Bai Lian didn't have a deep relationship with Hong Zhuang, so naturally he wouldn't meddle in other people's business and try to rescue her from the demon water prison.

But with the identity of a cat, I can visit it.

The water prison in the devil world stands under a secluded well, where the cold water falls without a trace, the wind blows calmly, and the water surface is as cold as a mirror, with a waning moon falling over the years.

Youjing binds spirits with eight huge chains.

The eight huge chains exude a luster of silver-like metal.

Under the reflection of the moonlight, the lines on the top are ancient and mysterious, and faintly exudes a ray of dragon power.

This is a chain of cages made of eight different chilong spines.

Since the last true dragon fell in the South China Sea 5000 years ago, the ice cap in the thousands of miles of sea has not melted yet, and even the descendants of chilongs living at the foot of Tianzhu Mountain have gradually disappeared with the fall of the true dragon.

The creatures that lived in the ancient myths were refined into arrays in this way, accompanied by the cold and dead silence of the secluded well.

The handwriting of the devil world is extraordinary.

Bai Lian crossed the eight chains, but the strange thing was that the chain array was not triggered. When he entered the secluded well and appeared in the water prison, the guarding demon guards couldn't help showing a very shocked expression when they saw him.

With the keel as the formation and the dragon soul as the law, even the Demon Realm Liuhe would have to spend a lot of effort if he wanted to break into this water prison.

And this kitten that silently appeared in front of their eyes didn't even touch the slightest fluctuation of the formation.

If it was a young real dragon that passed through the barrier of the eight dragon soul spines, they would never show such a shocked expression.

The real dragon is the emperor, the supreme one among the dragon clan. Even Qinglong, who ranks among the stars in all directions, has no choice but to bow his head in front of the real dragon.

Chilongs are not low in the dragon clan, even if they carry magic orders and guard the territory again, they will often be photographed by the dragon's power in the spine of that chilong.

Such a small thing has no effect at all?
How did they know that on Bai Li'an's body, there was a seal of acknowledgment that was more noble than the keel.

The imprint does not need to be removed, the real dragon is his protective beast, and he is the master of the real dragon.

Don't say that he will be half affected by Longwei here, even when he appears near the well, he can even clearly feel the meaning of surrender in the remaining breath in the keel.

A magic guard with two horns on his forehead stared at Bai Lian coldly, and pressed the knife with his palm, as if he was going to execute this little guy who was reckless and trespassed on the spot.

A long-horned demon guard next to him sensed his killing intent, his face changed slightly, and he said, "You are crazy, this is His Majesty's favorite cat, you hurt it, don't you want your head?"

The two-horned demon soldier smiled coldly, and locked his eyes on Bai Li'an: "A mere little demon pet dares to trespass in the water prison of the devil world. Even if His Majesty the devil finds out, he will not be merciless!"

The long-horned demon guard let out a groan, and said with a strange expression: "You have been on duty in the water dungeon for the past few days, and there are many things in the city that are unclear. Five days ago, His Royal Highness Shaojun gave this little cat monster a whip, and later His Majesty found out After this incident, His Royal Highness Shaojun was almost beheaded, but now he is sent to Duke Jialu for treatment."

The two-horned demon guard's face froze, his voice was moved: "Your Majesty is so cruel to your brother because of a cat?"

The hand pressing on the knife quickly retracted.

The long-horned demon guard snorted and squinted at this reckless guy: "So if you think you are bigger than His Highness Shaojun, you can kill this cat."

The two-horned demon guard looked embarrassed, and he dared to act recklessly. He wondered: "It is a serious crime to trespass on the death cell without a warrant. Could it be that we just let this cat go?"

"It's just a cat, maybe it can still rob prisoners, don't look at it as just a beast, in terms of status, you and I have to call him a father, when the cat owner gets tired of playing and goes back, things will be fine." Passed? Don’t be so rigid in being a demon.”

So, under the eyes of the two magic guards who had reached an agreement, Bai Lian stepped on the catwalk and got into the dark prison.

It was cold and humid here, and there was a strong smell of blood in the air.

Bai Lian was very sensitive to the smell of blood, following the familiar smell in the air, he quickly found Hongzhuang.

There were no candles lit in the prison, and only relying on the moonlight from the iron bars at the corner of the skylight, one could vaguely see black thorns crawling on the walls like black iron.

The skeletons and white bones of the demon clan remained on the ground, and the small prison already had the appearance of hell.

The red makeup was hung on the wall of the thornbush, and she lowered her head. Under the blood-stained strands of long hair, half of her horrifying face was cut with a big gap by some blunt instrument.

The half-moon mask that usually concealed his face was thrown aside, as if he had been trampled on and shattered into several pieces.

The sharp and slender silver hooks pierced both of her wrists, and the wounds were faintly black.

That silver hook seemed poisonous.

"Red makeup." Bai Lian called softly.

The woman on the wall moved slightly, raised her eyelashes, and looked at the cat calmly without speaking.

Bai Lian jumped onto the thorns, spit out a small pill from his mouth, hooked it with his claws, and sent it to her lips: "This is Changchun pill, it can heal wounds."

Hong Zhuang didn't move, and her voice was a little weak: "Why do you have to do it so many times, trespassing the Hades is a capital crime, even if you survive tonight, the final outcome will not change."

Bai Lian thought for a while, and said seriously: "Your sister asked me to send it here."

A simple sentence made her dry well-like eyes brighten instantly, and the red makeup looked at him cautiously: "Really?"

Bai Lian nodded: "Really."

The corner of Hong Zhuang's mouth suddenly showed a shallow and happy smile, she lowered her head and obediently ate the Changchun pill.

She is like a child who has been left out for a long time and suddenly eats a piece of candy, she can be so content with injuries all over her body.

After taking a Changchun pill, Hong Zhuang's complexion became more bloody, and although the bloody gash on his cheek hadn't healed, the bleeding gradually stopped.

She looked sideways at Bailian's pair of ice-blue vertical pupils, which were so clear and clear that she could tell a person's figure. The red makeup grew in the demon world all the year round, and she had never seen such a pair of clean eyes.

Even with such an ugly face like hers, there is no emotion in it that would make people feel unbearable and inferior.

She was silent for a moment, then said slowly, "Do you think I'm stupid?"

Bai Lian was startled: "What?"

Hong Zhuang pursed her lips: "I know what the fate of trespassing in the Nether Palace to steal gifts is, no matter whether I succeed or not, I will bring her troubles, but I don't regret it.

She has waited for this day for too long, I don't want her to be disappointed, and I also know that she is not afraid of trouble, she is such a smart person, she has a way to clear her suspicion in this chaos. "

She smiled: "So all these years, I have only treated her as a knife, because no matter how mischievous I am, even if I pierce the sky, she will not make me worry that I will implicate her."

So this time, it's the same.

Bai Lian was in a complicated mood: "When are they going to execute you?"

The red makeup said lightly: "As a young prince and a demon attendant, they have no right to deprive me of the qualification to participate in the King's Return Banquet. His Majesty the Demon King leaves the customs on the day of the King's Return Banquet, so I am the fastest and wait after the King's Return Banquet." Fall."

"Is there no solution to this?"

Hongzhuang smiled and said: "If my sister can choose to challenge Yihe Shuci and survive her hand, she is naturally qualified to ask for something from His Majesty the Demon Lord, and as a reward for the challenge, His Majesty should be the one who deserves it." Ask for it."

Yihe Shuci's reputation is too great, and her status can't help being shaken. In the hearts of countless people, she can be regarded as an existence close to the devil.

Don't say that the challenge will defeat her. If someone dares to challenge her, the Demon Lord once said that if he survives in her hands, he can become a superior Demon River, and he will be rewarded with a grace.

But since the establishment of this rule, no one has dared to challenge that lord, even Er He buried his heart.

Of course Ning Feiyan would not challenge this death-like figure for the sake of Hong Zhuang. Even if she survived the challenge successfully, Hong Zhuang believed that she would not ask for that precious grace on her.

……

……

"Did you go to the water dungeon to see the red makeup?"

Sunset, dusk.

Bai Lian, who had just returned to Chaomu Palace, heard Ning Feiyan's lazy and flat voice from under the bed curtain.

Under the white veil of the curtain, there were butterflies dancing lightly and inhumanly. Bai Lian hummed, walked in, lifted the curtain of the bed, and saw countless blue and purple magic butterflies perched on her back.

The poison of the emperor's fangs and the power of Shemoli were absorbed bit by bit by the endless butterfly, and then quickly turned into a cold mist and a cold fragrance.

She was overdrawing the power of the magic river to suppress the heavy injuries, but apart from the power of the magic river, Bai Lian also sensed another mysterious force in her body.

Bai Lian glanced at her, then stretched out his palm, his nails scratched his wrist, and the blood floated out of his wound in an instant as if weightless.

Beads of blood floated in the cold mist, and the aura of the river of blood rolled out, enveloping all the dispersed magic butterfly aura.

The devil butterfly was transformed by a demon spirit and fallen devil. Although it was refined by a soul shaman, it still has some indestructible demon nature left.

Blood Feather River has the special ability to spawn and hatch demon spirits. With the help of Bai Lian's blood, the creatures that were wiped away in layers of cold dances turned into cocoons and became butterflies again, and fluttered out.

And these newborn magic butterflies have a faint trace of feathers on their wings.

They reattached to Ning Feiyan's wounds, those wounds that cracked day and night, finally solidified to stop bleeding, and slowly scabbed over.

Although most of the demon poison and Shemoli's breath are still in the body, the injury will not get worse after all.

Ning Feiyan was a little surprised: "You are so kind to me today, do you want me to challenge Yiheshuci?"

Bai Lian licked the wound on his wrist, and said, "I'm not that naive." His eyes suddenly moved slightly, and he caught a glimpse of a red poop under Ning Feiyan's pillow.

When he left Chaomu Palace, he didn't have this thing.

Bai Lian was not interested in the private affairs of the demons, and would not ask too many questions.

But Ning Feiyan noticed his gaze, and didn't intend to hide it.

She picked up the sheet casually, unfolded it and said: "This morning, my mother came to the city of Mingzhou King from the deep forest of Beiyuan. The invitation to see you tonight must be because of Hongzhuang's matter."

Bai Lian looked at the red post and asked, "So are you going?"

Ning Feiyan smiled and said: "What are you talking about? This is my mother. I haven't seen her in a hundred years. Today she did not hesitate to risk herself to come to this royal city. As a daughter, I will of course go to see her."

"It's just that I'm seriously injured and can't move, so I have to ask Mr. Si to give me a ride."

The night is dark and gloomy, the moon is covered by floating clouds, and the shadows are faint under the heavy eaves.

The location on the invitation card is in a desolate and lonely garden. The cold leaves are shaking, the moon is shining, and the deep blue mountains are like the sea.

From night to midnight, everything is silent.

How is this a good time to make an appointment.

There is a strange tranquility everywhere, the outer edge of the garden is covered with countless white fragrant flowers, which are beautiful and beautiful, the flowers and trees are sparse, and they bloom elegantly, cluster after cluster, blooming at night, far away Sanli was willing to give up.

The three-mile siege is all the flowers of dreams at night.

The houses in the garden were brightly lit, and through the thin window screens, one could vaguely see the three of them facing each other.

But if one wants to get close to that room, it is tantamount to going through this sea of ​​white flowers.

Bai Lian stopped and looked at the sea of ​​flowers with a pensive expression.

Ning Feiyan kept walking away, but soon her figure was blurred by the sea of ​​flowers.

Bai Lian frowned, thinking that this sea of ​​flowers was obviously different, why could she walk in unsuspectingly now that she was seriously injured again.

Is it because one of the people in that room is her mother?
Without hesitating to think for too long, Bai Lian quickly chased into the flowers, followed closely behind Ning Feiyan, and whispered: "This place is a bit strange."

Ning Feiyan looked back and smiled at him, her lips were pale and haggard, she looked like a flower that was about to end its bloom and fail miserably.

She said: "Since you are here, you will be at ease. Most things in the world are dependent on life and death. A few days ago, when I left the Xuanting Cave Mansion, I thought I would find a chance to self-discover, a chance to change my life with a lot of money in danger. But I never thought that death is right in front of my eyes."

"Thinking about it this way, there are unexpected surprises hidden in the weirdness and danger."

Ning Feiyan also failed to see through the mystery hidden in this situation, but she knew that the mother who came out of Beiyuan Forest didn't have the ability to play tricks.

Bai Lian followed closely behind him, but the aura between the two was getting farther and farther apart strangely, as if they were separated into two worlds at once.

The wind blows through the forest tops, and in a swaying floating light, there is a thick fog among the flowers, either bright or dark, and only the general outline of the surrounding scenery can be discerned.

The misty flower mist lingers for a long time, misty like smoke, Ning Feiyan's slender figure is gradually engulfed by the cold white mist, and disappears again.

Bai Lian narrowed his eyes, but did not panic.

Until Ning Feiyan's aura completely disappeared, the waning moon in the sky turned into a full moon at some point.

He was still in a sea of ​​pure white flowers, but the elegant garden in front of him disappeared at some point.

Bai Lian walked slowly to the end of the sea of ​​flowers. Beyond the sea of ​​flowers was a forest overgrown with weeds.

Cold light, silver light, and moonlight complement each other, illuminating this eerie and vast night forest coquettishly and mysteriously.

The dense forests and the undulating rock veins are definitely not the scenery that should exist in the city of Mingzhou King.

Bai Lian stopped in his tracks and looked back at the place where the epiphyllum bushes were deep. He thought about it, and suddenly called out the Qiushui sword, held it firmly in his hand, and cut through his palm with all his might.

No pain at all.

That is to say, what he sees, hears, hears, feels, and understands at this moment are all illusions and falsehoods.

But if Ning Feiyan's mother wanted something, why did she set up such a maze to make things difficult for her.

Unless... the person who sent that invitation was not her mother.

So, where is the land of illusion that he saw at this moment?

As soon as this thought crossed Baili'an's mind, and when he turned around again, a huge ancient monument stood strangely in front of him.

The inscription reads: Forest of Beiyuan.
