The shopkeeper and Feng Ming took Li Muran to a small pavilion and said, "Fellow Daoist Li, please stay here for the time being. The Meizu camp is strictly guarded and it is impossible to escape. Fellow Daoist should not act rashly. If you offend Lord Ye, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"I understand!" Li Muran nodded. Since he came, he would be at peace. Now he can only settle down here for the time being.

The shopkeeper sighed: "We also know that fellow Daoist Li is unwilling to be involved in the Meizu family, and we are even more unwilling to join the Meizu army. However, apart from seeking help from Lord Ye, we really cannot rescue fellow Daoist Li from the high-level monks of Aoyun Sect."

"I understand!" Li Muran smiled slightly: "If it really falls into the hands of those human cultivators, I am afraid that my life will be lost at this time! Although I am trapped in the Meizu army at this time, I rarely have freedom for the time being, but I am finally alive."

The shopkeeper nodded and asked, "Fellow Daoist Li, where have you been there over the years?"

"I went down to Tianjian Valley to learn swords." Li Muran said. The relationship between the shopkeeper and Feng Ming and him was extraordinary, so Li Muran did not intend to deceive them. However, he did not mention his relationship with the old man Tianjian and Master Xuanguang.

"Tianjian Valley?" The shopkeeper was shocked: "Liu Chenfeng from Tianjian Valley has seen fellow Daoist Li, and he should know the Meizu identity of fellow Daoist Li. Can he tolerate a Meizu monk practicing in the Tianjian Valley?"

Li Muran nodded: "For the external world of immortal cultivation, Tianjian Valley is more like a closed paradise. In Tianjian Valley, the monks are dedicated to comprehending the sword path and never ask about right or wrong. As long as they cannot hurt others, other monks do not target their Meizu identity. As for senior Liu Chenfengliu, he has contacted him several times, and he seems to have changed a lot, and now he does not care about his Meizu identity."

"How can he really not care about your Meizu identity?" The shopkeeper murmured in surprise: "He was the only relative who had witnessed his own eyes and died at the hands of Meizu monks!"

"What happened?" Li Muran frowned and asked, "There seems to be a story between the shopkeeper and Senior Liu. Can you tell me clearly?"

The shopkeeper sighed, shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to tell fellow Daoist Li, but this is the most sad thing in my life. I can't bear to mention it anymore. Feng Ming knows a little about this. If you want to know, ask her."

After saying that, the shopkeeper bowed to Li Muran and said goodbye.

"Fellow Daoist Feng, can you tell me the story between the shopkeeper and Liu Chenfeng?" Li Muran was very curious and asked Feng Ming.

"You really want to know?" Feng Ming raised his eyebrows and stared at Li Muran.

Li Muran nodded repeatedly, looking very interested.

"Okay. Since you want to hear it, I will tell you. But I bet that after you have heard it, I will definitely hope that you have never heard of this story." Feng Ming said Youyou.

"That was a lot of years ago, and it should have been more than two hundred years. At that time, the shopkeeper should still look handsome and suave middle-aged monk. Like most Meizu monks, he liked to hunt alone - that is, he sneaked into the human monks alone, caught the 'prey', and then swallowed the prey."

"The Fairy Wen Mo who died in your hands and obtained the magical power of the Phantom is also a Meizu monk who likes to hunt everywhere. However, Fairy Wen Mo likes to devour men's divine thoughts, but the shopkeeper specifically selects young human women to start."

"The divine ideology of different human monks is different. For Meizu monks, the tastes are also different, and it is not surprising that they have these preferences."

"There are at least hundreds of women who died under the shopkeeper. However, one day, the shopkeeper never expected that he would fall in love with one of the 'prey'."

"That prey is called Liu Qingqing, and it is Liu Chenfeng's sister."

"Ah!" Li Muran couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this. Thinking of the words between the shopkeepers, he vaguely guessed the ending.

Feng Ming saw Li Muran's expression slightly changed and sighed: "You seem to have guessed it, do you want me to continue talking?"

Li Muran pondered for a moment, but couldn't help asking curiously: "Later, the shopkeeper's identity as Meizu was exposed, and he also hurt Liu Qingqing, so Liu Chenfeng and the shopkeeper formed a hatred for this?"

"It's not that simple!" Feng Ming shook his head and whispered: "The shopkeeper did hurt Liu Qingqing-but it was Liu Qingqing's voluntary."

"Volunteer?" Li Muran was shocked.

Feng Ming continued: "At first, the shopkeeper and Liu Qingqing were very loving. The shopkeeper concealed his Meizu identity without any leakage. He also met Liu Chenfeng because of this. Both of them were so bold that they met too late, and they actually formed a close friendship."

"After all, the shopkeeper is a Meizu, and he must eat every time he eats. He is careful and avoids Liu Qingqing every time he eats, so as not to expose his Meizu identity."

"But there is a shortage in Baimi. When the shopkeeper once set his sights on a prey and was about to eat, he was accidentally discovered by Liu Chenfeng. Liu Chenfeng thought the shopkeeper was unfaithful to his sister and secretly followed him. Unexpectedly, he actually broke through the shopkeeper's Meizu identity."

"The two fought one after another. At that time, the shopkeeper and Liu Chenfeng were similar in strength, but the shopkeeper could not bear to do his best, so he was defeated by Liu Chenfeng and was caught by him."

"Liu Chenfeng couldn't bear to execute the shopkeeper directly, but just imprisoned him, and didn't know how to explain to his sister."

"Not long after, the shopkeeper had an appetite and fell into extreme pain because he could not eat. Any monk who had experienced the pain of hunger would have a deep understanding."

Li Muran nodded secretly. That feeling is indeed worse than death. To this day, Li Muran is still in fear.

Feng Ming said here, his tone became heavier. She said slowly: "When the Meizu monk reaches the limit, he will temporarily lose all his reason and become a 'greedy charm' that only wants to swallow the divine thoughts. And the shopkeeper turned into greedy charm at that time."

"If you can't eat, you will soon starve to death. However, by chance, Liu Qingqing found the imprisoned shopkeeper at this time."

"Although Liu Qingqing knew the Meizu identity of the shopkeeper, she was still affectionate to the shopkeeper. She couldn't bear to see the shopkeeper endured that painful torture, so she took the initiative to sacrifice herself and let the shopkeeper swallow her divine thoughts!"

When Li Muran heard this, his heart thumped and he showed an unbearable look.

"Before Liu Qingqing died, she left a note to her younger brother, told him the truth, and asked him to let the shopkeeper go and not kill the shopkeeper!" Feng Ming said here, and tears also appeared in his eyes.

"You should be able to guess what happens in the future. Because he swallowed Liu Qingqing's divine consciousness, the shopkeeper survived and regained his rationality. But from then on, he devoted himself to getting rid of the Meizu identity and worked hard to study the Dead Soul Pill. During the process of studying the Dead Soul Pill, the shopkeeper almost died because of trying the elixir several times, but he always endured all kinds of pain and survived. He once said that his life was given by Liu Qingqing. He wanted to live well for Liu Qingqing and must not be easily ruined!"

Li Muran was silent for a long time after hearing this.

This is undoubtedly a tragic ending, but it seems that all the blame cannot be put on any party involved.

I'm afraid that if you want to blame someone, you can only blame someone for his own way. There should be no emotional entanglement between the human race and the Mei race, but it should be opposite like a natural enemy. Either you die or I die!

Thinking of this, Li Muran felt a chill in his heart. He is now the Meizu. Even if he was allowed to go to the Fengyun Continent, even if he found the Qianhuan Fairy from the vast world of cultivation, there might still be an insurmountable gap, and it may even lead to a tragedy like the shopkeeper, Liu Qingqing!

The two were speechless and were in a very heavy mood.

After a long time, Li Muran changed the topic and asked: "How could the shopkeeper join the Meizu army? Does he have any other forced difficulties?"

Li Muran knew that Feng Ming joined the Meizu army to protect his sister Feng Wu as a human monk, but he could not have imagined the reason for the shopkeeper.

Feng Ming said: "The shopkeeper does have his own plans. He is not going to serve the Emperor Mei and Lord Ye. Fellow Daoist Li, have you ever heard of Yuan Mei Dan?"

"Yuan Mei Dan?" Li Muran shook his head, revealing a confused look.

Feng Ming sighed: "Tianjian Valley is indeed a paradise. This matter has been causing a lot of controversy in the cultivation world recently, and you don't know!"

"Oh? Please let Fellow Daoist Feng Ming tell me in detail!" Li Muran was shocked.

Feng Ming said seriously, "I heard that Yuanmei Dan is an alchemy technique developed by the Sect Master of Aoyun Sect. This technique actually uses the Phantom of our Meizu monks as the main medicine to refine a spiritual pill, called Yuanmei Dan. There are even more rumors that Yuanmei Dan can greatly improve the spiritual strength and magical cultivation of human cultivators, and is a rare and great tonic."

"As long as you get the Yuan Mei Pill refined by the high-level Phantom, it will be of great benefit to the high-level human cultivators with the spiritual body cultivation level in the Yuanshen stage. Therefore, during this period, many human cultivators have crazily hunted and killed Mei Cultivators everywhere, with the purpose of refining alchemy!"

"This big thing happened!" Li Muran was shocked. No wonder the old man Tianjian kept telling him to be careful and try not to leave Tianjian Valley. It seems that although the old man Tianjian has been in seclusion, he has gained some news through his disciples and waited for it, and knew that it was even more difficult for Meizu cultivators to gain a foothold in the world of immortal cultivation.
