At the bottom of the cave, Yun Ziyue did not expect that she would actually come out of the so-called inner demon.
Looking back on the scene she just experienced, she is still a little confused.
Speaking of which, what was the key to breaking her inner demon? Was it the sword she stabbed Xing Yan with?
Also, why did Xing Yan want to take off his mask?
Could it be that she was curious about the face under Xing Yan's mask before, so the inner demon wanted to fulfill her wish before Xing Yan died?
Yun Ziyue didn't understand, she just looked worried at the unconscious man next to her.
"Lu Li, what happened to you over there? Why don't you wake up yet?"
Yun Ziyue was worried and glanced at the magic bead that was still in his palm. He wanted to take it and check it to see if he could find a way to wake him up.
Yun Ziyue just touched the magic bead with her fingers, and before she could hold it in her hand, a dim light suddenly flashed inside the magic bead, and Yun Ziyue passed out again.
"Well……"
Yun Ziyue woke up rubbing her groggy head in a patch of grass. Looking around, she found that the environment she was in was like a back garden in a deep courtyard.
Just as she was wondering where this place was, there was suddenly the sound of footsteps coming from behind the stone arch in front of her. Yun Ziyue hurriedly hid her figure behind clusters of flower branches.
I saw a few medicine boys walking from behind the arch, holding palm-sized copper bowls in their hands. There was something unknown in the bowls, which exuded a bloody smell mixed with the smell of herbs.
Yun Ziyue wanted to see the contents of the bowl more clearly, so she couldn't help but weigh it on her toes. She leaned forward slightly and touched the blooming swaying flower branches, making a slight sound.
The medicine boy walking at the rear paused and looked sideways in the direction of Yun Ziyue.
"What's wrong?" the medicine boy walking at the front looked back and asked.
"There seems to be movement over there."
The medicine boy at the front looked in the direction of his gaze, then shook his head, "Nothing. Let's go quickly. Master Chiyue is in urgent need of medicine. If you are late, you will be punished."
After hearing this, the medicine boys all shrank their necks in fear and hurriedly walked away.
After several people had completely left, Yun Ziyue walked out from behind the flowers.
What exactly is this place? Who is the real Chiyue that the medicine boy said?
After thinking about it, Yun Ziyue decided to follow the medicine boys to find out.
I chased the drug boys in the direction they left, and soon saw the figures of the drug boys at the end of a long corridor.
Yun Ziyue hid and followed the medicine boys to an attic.
After several medicine boys walked into the pavilion, Yun Ziyue carefully walked around to the side window, and through the window slit, she saw a huge alchemy furnace placed in the center of the pavilion.
At this time, the top of the alchemy furnace was filled with mist, and a man with a bewitching appearance wearing a red robe was pacing anxiously in front of the alchemy furnace.
Seeing several medicine boys walking in, the man urged in a hurry: "How are you doing? How much did you take this time?"
The leader of the medicine boy gave him a slight bow and said respectfully: "Back to the real person, I took four bowls in total this time."
"Only four bowls?" The man frowned, then flicked his sleeves and said, "Forget it, just four bowls. Now quickly pour the medicine in."
Following the movements of the medicine boy on the far right, Yun Ziyue saw him pour the blood-like medicine in the copper bowl along the small groove outside the alchemy furnace.
Soon, scarlet lines spread along the surroundings of the alchemy furnace, and finally flowed into the interior of the alchemy furnace.
When the alchemy furnace absorbed all the so-called medicinal ingredients, a strange fragrance suddenly wafted out from the alchemy furnace. When they smelled this smell, the expressions of several people present became intoxicated.
Chiyue Zhenren took a deep breath, and the smell in the air seemed to give him a mysterious power. That power nourished his entire heart, making him feel happy between his brows and eyes.
After waving his sleeves to disperse the smell, Master Chiyue straightened his expression and said, "Did he cooperate obediently in taking blood this time?"
"It's strange to say that last time he struggled so hard that he not only overturned a copper bowl, but also broke his wrist due to the strong resistance. But this time he was very quiet and didn't say a word."
Thinking of the scene of taking blood this time, several medicine boys felt a little strange. The man seemed to have given up his mind overnight and didn't even know the pain. He didn't even frown when he cut the flesh and took the blood.
"Hmph, I finally have some sense." Master Chiyue snorted coldly, and suddenly said: "Or is it ninety-nine swords?"
"Yes, the number of knives used for each blood extraction is the maximum he can bear."
"This useless thing, after using so many magical medicines and herbs to feed him, the blood taken out is getting less and less."
Master Chi Yue muttered, and the medicine boys all dared not speak after hearing this.
Yun Ziyue had long realized that the so-called medicine was blood, but she did not expect that the blood was actually taken from people.
Especially those careless ninety-nine knives in their mouths, how painful it must be to be cut on the body.
What's even more shocking is that this cruel thing happened more than once, and even countless times afterwards.
Yun Ziyue could not imagine what kind of person could live under such cruel torture, life worse than death.
Returning to the back garden where she appeared, Yun Ziyue began to think about what the current scene was about.
All the people and things that appear here are unfamiliar to her, especially here she is more like a bystander.
Could it be said that this place could be Lu Li's inner demon?
Yun Ziyue was suddenly shocked by this idea, but this statement was obviously the most likely.
To find out whether this place is Lu Li's inner demon, it depends on whether she can find Lu Li here.
Although she really didn't want to believe it, Yun Ziyue most likely already knew who the "him" mentioned by Master Chiyue and the medicine boys was.
Looking at the stone arch in front of her, Yun Ziyue felt inexplicably frightened by the environment behind it, but thinking that Lu Li might be there, Yun Ziyue still bravely walked in.
Behind the stone arch is a lonely path, with deep and slightly desolate woods on both sides of the path. Follow this path straight forward and arrive at a huge courtyard.
Directly in front of the courtyard is a majestic hall with old-looking bricks and tiles. Many of the doors and windows of the hall have peeled off their paint, revealing their original wood color.
Yun Ziyue watched from a distance, not daring to step forward easily.
After observing secretly for a long time, I found that no one seemed to be guarding here, so I walked carefully to the front of the hall and hesitantly opened the closed wooden door of the hall.
It was already dusk at this time, the candles in the hall were not lit, and the vision was very dim.
Yun Ziyue walked in and closed the palace door smoothly. The last light was blocked behind her, which made her feel a little uneasy.
Looking around the entire hall, the environment and facilities are spotless, but in the darkness they look desolate.
