Xiche was unconscious due to the backlash of the spell, so he did not see the scene of Chu Yan summoning Taiyi Sword. His soul was trapped in the sea of ​​consciousness, feeling hot and cold, and he could not even contact Baihu.

This time the backlash was severe.

Therefore, it makes sense that the gods do not allow them to practice these "evil arts". If they do not have enough abilities and still force themselves to practice and use them, they will become like him.

...

But this is the nth time he has been tricked. Since his rebirth, he has not succeeded in anything except teaching Rong Shi, the bully young master, a lesson. Recently, he has been failing frequently, always in front of Chu Qi. He has lost all his face as a god of war.

Ah, I suddenly miss Young Master Rong Shi. Let’s teach him a lesson and save my face!

Xi Che felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar and was shivering with cold. This cold was not simply physical coldness, but the kind of cold that froze his soul, which was unbearable.

Just when he felt that he was about to freeze, a warm current suddenly came from his dantian and slowly flowed into his body along his meridians. Xi Che was a little confused, but soon he let out a breath of comfort and regained control of his body.

He opened his eyes.

After seeing the scene clearly, Xi Che wished he hadn't opened his eyes.

Xi Che saw Chu Qi's face, and judging from what he saw, he was a little too close to Chu Qi at this moment.

He was almost clinging to his arms.

As if sensing Xi Che's gaze, Chu Qi also opened his eyes, and his phoenix eyes looked straight into Xi Che's eyes, giving him the illusion that he was seen through by him.

Xi Che looked at him for a few seconds, then looked away in confusion. Only then did he realize that it was not as simple as just sticking to him.

Both of them were naked and were sitting in a large wooden barrel filled with hot water. They sat in the water face to face with their palms pressed together.

...

What is going on?

"What are you doing..."

Xi Che gritted his teeth and said this, and was about to stand up immediately, but a feeling of pressure from the lower back stopped Xi Che's movement: "Don't move if you don't want to die."

As if to prevent Xi Che from leaving, the hand that was attached to Xi Che's right hand also forced its way in between his fingers and held his hand tightly. Xi Che could feel that it was Chu Qi's hand on his lower back. Even though there was hot water between them, he could vaguely feel that their bodies were almost pressed together.

But the expression of the person in front of him made it impossible for Xi Che to think in any improper way. Chu Qi's brows were tightly knitted together, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat. Even though he was sitting next to him like this, and... close to him, it was obvious that he was doing serious work.

Xi Che twitched his lips and forced himself to calm down: "...Is it necessary to do this?"

He should be trying to resolve the backlash brought about by the soul summoning just now, but... there is no need to take off all his clothes.

Chu Qi looked at him without saying a word, and his hand that was supporting Xi Che's lower back did not move. After a long time, he said, "You used evil magic to summon souls, but suffered backlash, and your soul was locked in a restriction. I can directly input magic into your body to break the restriction, but the magic that formed this restriction is contrary to my magic. The two forces are fighting back and forth. Even if the restriction is successfully broken, your body will be severely damaged because it cannot withstand the impact. So you can only input magic power into the meridians, circulate in the meridians, and dissolve the restriction bit by bit. If the heat cannot be dissipated smoothly, your body will not be able to bear it."

Xi Che understood. To put it simply, he was too weak now and was not worthy of using simple and crude methods to solve the problem. Although Chu Qi is now also transferring his magic into his own body, Xi Che can understand the problem of the two conflicting forces he mentioned. The so-called "evil magic" has the opposite operating rules of ordinary magic, and is contrary to any magic except "evil magic".

The method Chu Qi used at this time was more like washing an iceberg with warm water. His magic power circulated through his meridians in his body for a cycle, washing away some of the restrictions and causing them to melt.

"...I understand."

Xi Che hesitated and looked up at Chu Qi, who closed his eyes again and focused on the circulation of his meridians. Xi Che stared at him, gradually becoming absent-minded.

Several clips that Xi Che saw when using the necromancy technique in the Land of Bones. At the last moment, although Xi Che did not see what was tied at the end of the chains that locked his hands and feet, he caught a glimpse of a figure. The other person was sitting in a wheelchair with a very gloomy expression. He should be the only living person in the cave at that time.

His name is Jin Lingzi, and he was Xi Che's subordinate when he was the King of Shen in the Demon Realm.

Jin Lingzi is a pure demon. Naturally, she is not a harmless and weak little demon like the succubus, but a big demon who can become the chief protector of the Tenth Prince of the Demon Clan. She has a bad temper.

Jin Lingzi usually behaves eccentrically and disobeys discipline, but he is also very simple by nature and learns things very quickly. Xi Che thought he was a rare talent, so he taught him some magic spells of his own creation, including the spell of condemning spirits.

Xi Che now has a vague worry.

Even if Jin Lingzi is not a bad person by nature, he is still in the demon clan. In such an environment, it is impossible for him to stay out of trouble.

Before he died, he could still control Jin Lingzi a little, but after he died, Xi Che really couldn't predict what he would do.

For a few seconds, Xi Che began to doubt this old subordinate. He wondered if it was Jin Lingzi who had captured so many people in the cave and created the Land of Bones, an extremely dark place.

If it was him, what was his purpose in doing so, or in other words, who bewitched him? If not, why would he appear in that cave?

After Chu Yan used his magic power to operate in Xi Che's body for a while, he realized that he seemed to be distracted, so he opened his eyes. Seeing that Xi Che had a frown on his face, he seemed to be troubled about something.

He then opened his mouth and asked, "What did you think of?"

Xi Che came back to his senses and was silent at first - he naturally couldn't tell him the story of Jin Lingzi directly, and he couldn't explain why he knew that person. Then he concealed some key truths and picked up some other things to tell him: "Bi Yuan and others were once locked in a cave. There were many people like him in that cave."

He paused here, and then continued: "My elders told me that many students who came out to participate in demon hunting operations in previous years disappeared. With so many people coming out every year, there are always thirty or fifty people who can't go back... but their bodies can't be found. Do you think they will... turn into those corpses below?"

They may also have been attacked by the "zombies" in the land of bones and turned into the same things as them. After all, in Bi Yuan's remaining memory, Xi Che also saw the scene of those people attacking the village. If there were students who came with them in the village, the students would most likely have been attacked together. Also, when Xi Che was summoning souls in the field of bones, he discovered one thing: there were so many corpses in that place, but not a single complete soul. The reason why those bones responded to his summoning technique was that there was a high possibility that someone had used this technique on them before.

However, Xi Che did not say any of these discoveries. He did not want Chu Qi to know too much, nor did he want him to think that he knew a lot.

Although Chu Qi saved him several times, Xi Che was wary of him. Chu Qi's identity was too confusing. He had such powerful magic power, but he was just a student... It was hard to say what he wanted to do by lurking in Yujing College.

Xi Che had to be on guard.

Chu Yan didn't seem to care much about these issues. He frowned, held Xi Che's hand tightly and said, "Put these trivial things aside for now and concentrate on solving your physical problems."

Xi Che hesitated, but nodded. But how could he really concentrate on not paying attention to other things? He was still wondering, even if Jin Lingzi did all these things, how could those corpses end up in that cave?

"It's raining."

Xi Che was thinking when he suddenly heard Chu Yan say this. He was stunned and hadn't made any reaction yet. He heard Chu Yan say again: "Come sit on my lap."

Xi Che subconsciously asked: "What?"

Chu Yan frowned and repeated: "Come sit on my lap, quickly."

"..."

Are you kidding, brother! He was sitting like this, already very close to him, and now he was sitting on him... that was too weird! They are still strangers!

Chu Yan filled a bucket with a lot of hot water, so that they could sit face to face with the hot water reaching their shoulders. At least they didn't have to see each other's bodies, thus avoiding some embarrassment. But even if you can't see what it means to sit on him, you can still feel it!

Seeing Xi Che not moving, Chu Yan became anxious. He held his waist with one hand and pulled him towards him: "Can't you feel the magic power in your body being blocked and stagnant? The magic power I input into your body is trapped in your dantian. Your spiritual platform is fragile, and your meridians are narrow... why don't you come over!" "

No... wait!"

Xi Che couldn't react in time and his body was pulled over by Chu Yan. He didn't know why this man was so strong, but he lifted him up with one hand and pressed him on his legs.

Xi Che was so shocked by the series of unexpected events that happened in this instant that he was speechless, but he was indeed sitting on Chu Qi. At the same time, the position of his "dantian" was pressed against the same position as Chu Qi.

...What is the situation now? Chu Qi is sitting cross-legged, and he is also sitting cross-legged, but Chu Qi is sitting in the bucket, and he is sitting on Chu Qi.

The two of them were so close together and without any clothes on, that the slightest movement could have turned into a fencing scene.

...They are strangers to each other and have only known each other for less than two days. This is too awkward!

Xi Che was holding one of his hands and holding Chu Yan's shoulder with the other. He straightened his body nervously, but moved and struggled unconsciously, trying to get away from him: "Does it have to be like this... Does it have to be like this! Can you let me go..."

Chu Yan frowned, his cheeks slightly flushed: "Don't move around! Otherwise..."

He didn't say the next words, but Xi Che understood what he meant - otherwise... otherwise there would really be an accidental discharge of the gun.

Xi Che was very annoyed, but the dantian area that was tightly attached to Chu Yan seemed to be hit hard by an invisible airflow, as if it was expanding the meridians in his body. Xi Che did not dare to act rashly, and cold sweat broke out on him.

At this time, a lot of hot water came out of his body, from the waist upwards, all on the water surface. It was raining outside, and the autumn rain was so cool... It was cold on top and hot on the bottom, and Xi Che got goose bumps all over his body.

Chu Yan felt that the person he was hugging tightly was trembling slightly, so he scooped up hot water and poured it on Xi Che: "Is it very cold?"

Xi Che shivered and shook his head - he didn't feel cold, he just felt that his consciousness was a little unclear.

Upon seeing this, Chu Yan simply hugged him tightly, and the two of them instantly turned into a tight hug. Chu Yan is the God of Bright Light, and even the name he inherited is the word "Yan". His body is naturally very hot, which is not noticeable at ordinary times, but when they hug each other tightly, they can still feel it.

Xi Che felt dizzy and lost consciousness again, falling on Chu Yan's shoulder.

Chu Yan looked down at his face: "Asa..."

Xi Che had no reaction, so Chu Yan sighed - forget it, he was better behaved when he was dizzy.
