After leaving the temple, Taomi looked at the sign outside. Lanruo Temple was a very nice name.

It's very elegant, not like a name that an ordinary temple should have.

Several people came to stay at an inn, and after making inquiries, they found out that in recent years, monsters have often appeared in this town, and every once in a while, monsters would come out to harm people.

The victims were all young and strong men. There were no wounds on their bodies when they died. The strange thing was that they still had smiles on their faces, as if they had fallen asleep with great satisfaction.

As long as you don't go out, no one will die, so there are rumors of monsters in this area, and there is no one to even watch the clock.

"Sister, do you think there are really monsters?"

Taomi shook her head, "I'm not sure yet, but this place gives me a very weird feeling. Even if it's not a monster, there must be an evil person at work."

Of course, in this world, the possibility of being a monster is much greater than the possibility of being a villain. According to the death appearance of the corpse mentioned by the young man, it seems that he was deceived and secretly absorbed the soul and died.

As for what the soul was used for, of course it was used by monsters to increase their cultivation.

Tao Mi looked at Hu Mei. This ability is more or less common among monsters, and vixens are the most powerful among them. However, Hu Mei and the others have never practiced in this way after being taught by Mr. B. Naturally, they don't know what else they can do.

There is such an operation.

"Then we will..."

In fact, Hu Mei also saw that this incident was probably caused by monsters, but she was also a monster after all. It seemed not good to be so openly opposed, but if she didn't care, how many people might be killed. It was really a tangle.

problem.

Unlike Hu Mei's entanglement and Tao Mi's indifference, Ying Ning was filled with indignation, "Of course we have to take care of it, are we just going to let them harm people like this?"

Hu Mei sighed, "Yingning, you are still young. If you had been walking in the world for decades, you wouldn't say what you say now. Sometimes people in the world are more terrifying than monsters. Just like when you met before

The prince Chu who arrived here can let a killer kill his eldest brother for money. At least monsters will not harm people in his own family."

Yingning nodded, not sure whether she really understood or pretended to understand.

"Then we don't care?"

"How to control it? Kill all the monsters that are harmful to people? Don't be kidding me. Without the monsters now, there would be other monsters. In short, we can't kill them all."

"What's more, the young man just said that things like this have happened in this area in recent years, but why are people still being killed one after another?"

After all, Hu Mei was born a monster. She knew much more about monsters than Ying Ning, who had just come to the world. If a monster wants to absorb the soul, especially the soul of a man, it naturally has to be seduced first.

, it is those men who cannot resist the temptation to commit suicide and cannot blame others.

"But what if it's not a monster, but a human?"

Ying Ning's question made Hu Mei slightly startled. She didn't know how to answer. They thought it was a monster at first, so they were not prepared to intervene. But if it wasn't a monster but an evil person, then they would have to

Stand by and watch?

"It can't be a human being." Taomi answered, "The little guy also said that it has been many years. A murder case like this can only be the work of one person. Human life is limited after all.

It's impossible for people to do it for decades, so it can only be the work of monsters."

Now that they had figured out everything here, Taomi and the others planned to leave. However, unexpectedly, as soon as they reached the mountain, they saw a man and a woman running desperately.

"What are they doing?"

"What are you thinking about? They look about the same age. You don't need to think about it to know that they are lovers. They must be eloping by running so hard." Hu Mei was already used to this kind of thing. The relationship between a poor scholar and a rich girl

There are quite a few stories in the storybook alone, even if you don’t have to look at them.

As soon as Taomi finished speaking, she saw the man and woman chasing after... a tree branch.

"They are not human beings." Hu Mei took a closer look and found that the woman was actually a snake spirit. It turned out that she was in love with a she-male. She was really brave.

Xue'er and Chen Santai ran all the way up the mountain, and the branches kept chasing them. When they reached the top of the mountain, they were already on a cliff and had nowhere to go.

Xue'er knelt down as the branch was lowered, with tears in her eyes, and she spoke sincerely, "Grandma, please let us go."

"Xue'er, you have failed to live up to grandma's expectations of you, so don't blame grandma for being ruthless." After saying that, the tree spirit entangled Chen Santai and Xue'er.

Chen Santai had already closed his eyes. He didn't know whether he fainted or didn't want to see this horrific scene.

Hu Mei used the fire and burned the branches surrounding them. Xue'er and Chen Santai were let go, but they also fell to the bottom of the cliff.

Xueer quickly caught Chen Santai and landed safely. Hu Mei and Yingning ran over, and Taomi set up a barrier to block their breath.

"Thank you all for your help. You should leave here quickly. Grandma will find her soon." Xueer put the fainted Chen Santai on the ground and said.

"It's okay. My sister is very powerful. The old tree demon won't be found here for a while. You'd better hurry up and see how he is doing." Hu Mei said completely unconcerned. Isn't it just an old tree demon?

, return to grandma, whose grandma is she?

Xue'er looked at Chen Santai's body, and suddenly felt so depressed that she sat on the ground dejectedly.

"Grandma, you are so cruel." Xueer murmured.

Taomi took a look and saw that there was no soul in Chen Santai's body. Now it was just a corpse. She didn't need to think about it to know that the tree spirit had absorbed Chen Santai's soul just now when no one was paying attention.

"Girl, are you okay?"

Xue'er shook her head, "Xue'er thanks you all for helping me, but my fate with Santai is shallow, so I'm afraid I'm going to let down your good intentions. If there is an afterlife, Xue'er is willing to be a bull or a horse to repay you."

Saying that, Xueer picked up Chen Santai's body and flew to the cliff regardless of the obstruction. She stood on the top of the cliff and jumped down.

Taomi and others watched from below, and saw Xue'er jumping down and detonating her soul in the air, but Chen Santai's body turned into ashes in the air.

Such a scene, let alone Ying Ning and Hu Mei, even Tao Mi was shocked.

"Sister, are they...not going to have another life?"

Monsters have no souls, they only have souls. Now that Xueer's soul has self-destructed, it is naturally like her soul being wiped out. She cannot be reincarnated and will no longer exist in this world.

"Is this the kind of love that can last until death?" Ying Ning didn't expect that in just a quarter of an hour, the two people who were originally alive would no longer exist. Is it just for love?

Taomi seemed to understand something. The tree spirit that was chasing Xueer and Chen Santai just now might be the rumored monster in this area. Otherwise, how to explain that Chen Santai's soul was just taken away by the tree spirit, and Xueer thought it was

She and Chen Santai have no future.

If a person has the courage to die with the person he loves, he must be very much in love. But because there is no hope at all, they can only choose to die together.

There is no hope, of course, because the tree spirits cannibalize human souls.

"Sister, I just picked this up."

Taomi took the cloth bag handed over by Hu Mei. In addition to some scattered silver coins, there were books and a famous post from student Chen Santai.

It turns out that the man's full name is Chen Santai, which seems to be the name of a scholar.

"Bury these." Both of them have no bones left, so let's bury Chen Santai's things in the mountain where Xueer lived before.

Ying Ning has always wanted to see with her own eyes what undying love is. She once thought that it would take a long time for her to see it, but she didn't expect to see it today. It was so sudden that she was caught off guard and also shocked her.

.

It turns out that true love can make people forget life and death. Just like the peacock fairy and the eldest princess, being locked up in the ice purgatory and the sky prison is really not a punishment compared with death.

The three of them were silent. They had lived in this world for a long time and had seen a lot of life, separation, and death, but this kind of love still shocked people's hearts.

Ying Ning's purpose in coming to the world at the beginning was to see a love that would last until death. She also thought about owning one, but as time went by, she no longer had such thoughts.

Today I saw the love between Xueer and Chen Santai. She has no such thoughts at all. She is just a scarecrow in heaven guarding the peach garden. She likes this kind of love, but she is also afraid of this kind of love. She doesn't know that she

Do you have the courage to bear such love?

Till death do us part, it is very simple to say, but everything she saw told her that it is not such a simple four words, it requires two people who love each other to dedicate their lives to commemorate this love.

It's because she is cowardly and has no courage.

The tree spirit returned to where she lived after being attacked by Hu Mei. She had just seen Taomi Ye Yingning. Among the three people, she could tell that Hu Mei was a vixen, and she also saw the other two people.

The origin cannot be revealed.

It would be okay if they just left like this, but if they refused to give up, then when the time comes, she would...

"Grandma, sister Xue'er..."

"She is dead, she blew up her soul." The tree spirit smiled and glanced at the two demons below, "From now on, Xiaoqian, you go do her job. If you make the same mistake as Fan and Xueer, then don't blame grandma.

It’s not good for you.”

"I understand, grandma." Xiaoqian lowered her head and said.

She knew what Xueer's previous job was, and she could do it, but she...

In addition to the tree spirit, the Black Mountain Old Demon also saw Taomi secretly. The moment Taomi and the others set foot on the mountain, he already knew that the woman who almost disappeared hundreds of years ago was also the

His enemy has actually come to his territory this time, so don't leave easily.

The Black Mountain Old Demon's method of dealing with Taomi was to trap her in the mountain forever so that she could not get out. He struck a fatal blow when she was at her weakest.

As for why he didn't take action directly, it was because he had been injured by Taomi before, so he always had some psychological shadow. He didn't know whether Taomi's cultivation had increased after hundreds of years. His cultivation

On the other hand, if Taomi also increased, he would definitely not be able to take revenge so easily.

But the old demon of Montenegro forgot that he might not be Taomi's opponent even if he attacks directly, let alone such an indirect trap.

After walking for a quarter of an hour, Taomi and the others felt something strange. They stopped walking immediately and looked around. They originally wanted to cross the mountain, but they didn't expect that there was a steep cliff on the other side of the mountain.

I wanted to go back down the mountain the way I came.

They remembered that although there were trees when they went up the mountain, there were not as many as now, so they thought they might have been trapped.
