From that day on, Xuan Min and Big Python disappeared completely from their lives as if they had never appeared before. Even Mo Wang, who had come here occasionally before, also disappeared.
Every day someone would bring food quietly, and Pei Hongdu seemed unable to adapt. He ate very little every time, but his figure did not lose weight.
At the same time, Gu Qingling discovered that the nearby barrier had become extremely weak and could no longer trap them.
Everything seems to be moving in a good direction, but for some reason, Gu Qingling always has a bad feeling in her heart, and this feeling is getting stronger and stronger, reaching the point where she cannot ignore it.
"What are you thinking about?" The cold flesh of the fruit touched her lips, and Gu Qingling's butterfly-wing eyelashes trembled, then shrank back.
"The food in the devil world is very cold." She murmured softly, then took the bamboo stick from Pei Hongdu's hand and nibbled it in small mouths, obviously a little carelessly.
Pei Hongdu stared at her casually tied ponytail for a while and asked silently: "You've been in a daze lately. Is it because you're bored? I can take you out for a walk."
Gu Qingling: "Well, that's not the case..."
She had too little experience and didn't know how to describe this weird feeling. She could only eat the pulp in small bites, then wiped her mouth with the back of her fleshy hand and smacked her lips: "Okay, I won't eat it. Let's
Can you continue practicing your sword today?"
Pei Hongdu was afraid that she would be bored, so he brought back a piece of wood when he went out a while ago, cut it into the shape of a wooden sword, and gave it to Lu Qingling to relieve his boredom. The remaining wood was carved into other gadgets.
Gu Qingling practiced the basic swordsmanship taught by the Lu Shu Sect, but she still felt a little uneasy. She rubbed her face and opened the window to refresh herself, but unexpectedly it was pitch black outside, the cold wind howled, and the air was full of
There is a faint smell of blood.
"Why...why is it dark again?" Gu Qingling's eyes widened in surprise, her upper body lying on the window edge and looking out.
I saw that the sky was a deep dark blue, and a red moon was hanging high, very close to the Demon Palace, as if it was about to fall in an instant.
Pei Hongdu's expression changed slightly. He stepped forward quickly, raised his eyes to look at the red moon hanging in the sky, and pursed his lower lip: "The time has come."
What does it mean?
Gu Qingling's face was blank.
At this time, someone knocked on the door behind him, and a voice slowly came: "Open the door. It's me."
It's a giant python!
He has now returned to his human form, wearing white clothes, long hair like ink, and his handsome and sparse eyebrows are rubbed open by the soft light, showing a gentle and elegant appearance.
Gu Qingling did not hesitate to praise: "Brother Python, you look so elegant like this!"
The giant python said: "I think so too. Are you all ready? We must set off immediately before the red moon disappears."
Pei Hongdu picked up the wooden sword and held it in his hand, and nodded slightly. Gu Qingling was confused, her dark eyes widened slightly, and she looked at the two of them blankly.
"What are you preparing for? What's the red moon?" She pulled Pei Hongdu's sleeve, "Are we going out?"
Pei Hongdu hesitated and said, "Well...well, we are leaving the Nine Demon Palaces. Because I wasn't sure when the red moon would appear, I didn't tell you."
While he was talking, the giant python had already turned his back. They did not dare to delay, and quickly followed behind him, watching as he waved his hand to resolve the barriers one after another, and took them back easily.
Outside the Demon Palace, the red moon seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and the entire ground was stained with blood-like bright red. Gu Qingling shrank her shoulders and followed closely behind Pei Hongdu.
She raised her eyes and looked around, and found some huge shadows not far away, which seemed to belong to those monsters. But except for the few days when the demon king woke up, these monsters had not killed each other for a long time.
Pei Hongdu looked at her curious face, thought for a moment, and said softly to her: "Don't worry, the red moon can't affect us."
"Hey? Why?"
"Because we were not born from the demon world, we will not be affected. As for the reason -" Pei Hongdu raised his eyes and glanced at the back of the giant python: "He should know."
The giant python paused slightly and said without turning around: "Children have so many questions. But I am in a good mood and can answer you. The reason is very simple, because you have more or less spiritual power, so naturally you will not be famous.
Monthly control."
"Controlled by...?" Gu Qingling covered her mouth and her voice was a little unclear: "In other words, can Hongyue control those monsters to beat herself?"
"Yeah."
"Who controlled them? They are so vicious..." Lu Qingling muttered quietly.
The giant python lowered its eyelashes slightly and said calmly: "Xuan Min."
……
Soon, they came to the edge of the Demon Palace, and they could leave here as long as they passed through the last palace.
"Hey, little one!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in her mind. Lu Qingling stumbled. If Pei Hongdu hadn't caught her in time, she would have fallen to pieces.
"What's wrong with you?" He asked softly, thinking that Gu Qingling was a little scared, so he comforted him: "It's okay. Nothing can hurt us."
Gu Qingling nodded stiffly, and whispered: "Split the sky?"
"It's me, it's me! Oh my god, I finally found you - where are you now, and why are you getting farther and farther away from me?"
She suddenly stopped and Pei Hongdu and the giant python turned to look at her.
Gu Qingling hesitated and said: "Well, um, why don't you go first? I left something behind and I have to go back to get it. It's a very important thing!"
Pei Hongdu said nothing: "I will accompany you."
The giant python frowned slightly: "No. The Demon Palace under the red moon is more dangerous than you think. Is there anything more important than life?"
He thought that Gu Qingling would give up and retreat, but he didn't expect that she would bite her lip lightly, lower her eyes slightly, and then her gaze would become firm.
"It's okay, I'll be back soon! Just leave first!"
Gu Qingling let go of Pei Hongdu's hand, turned around and ran back in a hurry. A look of confusion flashed across Pei Hongdu's young and delicate face, and he subconsciously turned around to chase after him, but was caught by a silver-white snake's tail.
"I'll go back. You continue to leave here."
……
"...So you are living in Xuanmin's demon palace? Hehe, you little kids are really big-hearted, that is the demon king, he can eat three children in one mouthful!"
Lu Qingling kept walking, but she did not forget to retort: "Humph, Huitian is bluffing again. I am not a three-year-old child, and I will not be fooled by you."
While she was talking, she had already passed through a narrow corridor, turned around and ran into a dark and spacious room.
