Deep in the desert.

Far from the oasis.

On an inconspicuous Gobi, several stone mountains are connected together, barely forming a mountain range, running across the Gobi. The mountains are bare, with no trace of green in sight, and they blend perfectly into the desert.

The only source of life is probably some scattered Bodhi trees on the Gobi. In late autumn, the leaves are yellow and falling, and everything is desolate.

After getting rid of his pursuers, Qin Sang flew here without stopping.

There is a secret cave they opened before, and they agreed to meet here. Not long after they settled down, a figure appeared in the desert, it was Liuli.

The two looked at each other, both of them were unscathed, showing relaxed smiles.

Qin Sang suppressed her smile and said in a deep voice: "The relic has changed and must be refined now..."

Liuli nodded, "I will protect you."

Close the cave.

Qin Sang sat cross-legged on the ground and had time to examine the relic carefully.

That force is almost unstoppable.

He opened his palms, and the relics shone brightly, forming circles of colorful halos, really like the light of Buddha, illuminating the cave.

The halo rises and falls, like breathing.

Qin Sang stared for a moment, closed his eyes slightly, and carefully activated his consciousness to sense the energy inside the relic.

As soon as they made contact, Qin Sang frowned.

What he sensed from it was not only violent energy, but also some inexplicable chaotic thoughts, as if he had entered the heart of a madman, full of evil thoughts.

After a little hesitation, Qin Sang carefully let go of the control, and a burst of energy rushed into his body. Then Qin Sang felt a tearing pain from the Nascent Soul.

Not only that, he also had auditory hallucinations in his ears, and the remaining demonic thoughts kept attacking his soul.

Naturally, these evil thoughts could not affect Qin Sang. He concentrated on stabilizing the Nascent Soul and felt the pain coming in waves.

This feeling is somewhat similar to that in the body bath, but it is completely different. Only the Nascent Soul is experiencing the impact, and the physical body and meridians are not affected.

What the body washing pool improves is the talent of absorbing spiritual energy. To use a metaphor to describe it, it improves the structure of the Nascent Soul.

Now, after the Nascent Soul has been integrated into this energy, it has become more solid than before. It has been refined in pain, which reminds Qin Sang of the Bodhi Initiation in the Buddhist scriptures. This state is obviously of great benefit to future breakthroughs.

At this point, Qin Sang probably understood the whole story.

This energy from the strange treasure was both an opportunity and a danger, and it must have been more violent than it is now. With the help of this treasure, Venerable Hong Yi broke through, but failed to withstand the double impact of Yuanying and Yuanshen, and fell on the spot.

When he was dying, Venerable Hongyi used some unknown method to integrate the essence of his body into the rare treasure and left it to future generations. Unfortunately, he was unable to leave any information and the treasure became dusty.

Because of this incident, with Venerable Hongyi's 'seal' as a buffer, Xiaoxiangzi judged that the danger for future generations to refine the relics would be greatly reduced.

However, the 'seal' has been worn away by time, and now the relic is on the verge of collapse and has become dangerous again.

Of course, it will definitely not be comparable to the original one, because they can provide some guidance before the 'seal' completely disappears.

"Hurry up and seal the cave and refine this treasure together."

Qin Sang shouted and concentrated on stabilizing the Nascent Soul.

Liuli was slightly startled, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual outside the cave, she sat cross-legged in front of Qin Sang, raised her jade hand, and touched the relic.

When the two people's consciousnesses came into contact, Liuli immediately understood the whole story. Following Qin Sang's instructions, he took over part of the seal and guided an energy into his body.

The next moment, Liuli groaned and her body trembled.

She did not have the protection of the Jade Buddha, nor did she experience the baptism in the body washing pool like Qin Sang. She faced double shock and almost collapsed on the spot under the severe pain. Fortunately, she survived with her strong will.

Inside the cave.

Qin Sang and Liu Li held their palms against each other, wrapped in a halo, and seemed to have passed peacefully.

In fact, their bodies are constantly being hit by stormy waves.

After a stick of incense.

Liuli reached the limit first and suddenly retracted her palm.

After calming down her rapid breathing, she slowly opened her eyes, which were a little dazed and had not yet woken up from the influence of the relic.

The remaining evil thoughts in the relic were not completely crazy, but some information and fragments flooded into their minds. They seemed to have become another person, almost immersed in each other's world.

Fortunately, these messages were intermittent and Liuli could still maintain herself.

Most of it is useless, but there is some information that is of great value.

This is where Liuli's confusion comes from.

Gradually, Liuli's eyes became clear again, and she glanced at Qin Sang, seeing that he was still refining the remaining energy of the relics, and there was no sign of exhaustion for the time being.

Her eyelids trembled slightly, Liuli slowly closed her eyes, still staying in the cave, so that if something unexpected happened to Qin Sang, she could come to her aid in time.

After a while, the light of the relic gradually extinguished and the energy was finally exhausted.

Qin Sang woke up from trance and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Just after waking up, the information he got from the demonic thoughts flooded into his mind. Qin Sang looked at Liuli with a complicated look in his eyes, sighed silently, and got up to go to another cave to meditate.

…

Suffering! Collection! Destruction! Dao!

The four golden characters shone brightly in Liuli's mind, as if they contained infinite information, which was deafening and enlightening.

When refining the relics, they accidentally obtained a secret technique that can end the mortal world and cut off love with a wise sword.

What she values ​​​​is not how powerful this secret technique is.

In order to get rid of the stigma of evil deeds, Liuli once locked love with silver needles and sealed love with ice soul.

They all failed for various reasons.

She once listened to Moonlight Bodhisattva and monks debating sutras in Jiujia Mountain, and gained a deeper understanding of Buddhism. At that time, she was inspired to find a way out of trouble from Buddhism.

I didn't expect to get it so quickly.

However, to practice this method, you must enter Buddhism, cut off the mortal world, and purify the six roots before you can achieve anything.

Liuli didn't know when she opened her eyes, and there were some waves in her clear eyes.

Before the opening of the Holy Land, although she had several contacts with Qin Sang, she didn't know much about him, and she mostly heard about his deeds.

Until the Battle of the Holy Land, she fought side by side with Qin Sang almost the entire time.

Facing the powerful enemy Yin Changsheng, he used his magical powers one after another, tried his best, and never gave up. Just like when he was trapped in the desperate situation planned by Dongyang Bo, he fought for the last line.

When faced with a group of monsters including two great monks, he led her into the dragon pool and suppressed them all with unparalleled courage.

Not letting go of any possibility, she traveled to Zhongzhou to look for illusory opportunities. She felt the same way about pursuing the Tao.

as well as.

Although it is easy to obtain a slave in the Nascent Soul stage, he can stick to the bottom line and minimize the impact on her.

The persistence and tenderness of carrying one person on his back and traveling thousands of miles in search of a way to save his life.

…

But.

When all these impressions of Qin Sang were combined into the brand of evil deeds, they all seemed to pale in comparison.

The terrifying feeling when you completely let go of the brand is like a nightmare. Every time the dream comes back, Liuli trembles all over.

Really?

Fantasy?

…

The ban is triggered.

Qin Sang woke up from trance and seemed to have a premonition of something. He stood up a little slowly and slowly opened the stone door.

Liuli stood outside, holding four snake seals and a jade slip in her palm.

"Inside is the complete "Tongbao Jue"."

Liuli said softly.

Qin Sang looked into Liuli's eyes and took the treasure with both hands. Although she understood what choice she would make based on her decision, she still couldn't help but ask, "Have you decided?"

Liuli nodded, "When I get the news about the Ghost Mother, I will summon Liuzhou Hall."

Qin Sang opened his mouth, and a thousand words turned into one sentence, "Thank you."

Liuli raised her eyes slightly and turned her gaze on Qin Sang's face.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, see you later!"

After saying that, Liuli clasped her hands together, turned around and walked down the mountain, walking away with firm steps to find her own way.

The sun sets in the west, spreading golden light all over the sky, filling the sky with golden sunset glow.
