The gate of the courtyard has long been rusted by dust, and it took a lot of effort for Artemisia to push open the width of one person, and barely squeezed in, the two of Jian Xingju swallowed their saliva, and they were indescribably nervous in their hearts, but after all, they had something important to do, but they could not retreat, so they could only follow Artemisia Annua and step into the gate.

Although through a courtyard wall, they could see that the courtyard was full of green trees, but when they came to the courtyard, they found that the shade was a bit excessive, and the wild grass in the garden grew luxuriantly, almost covering the dark stone path in the middle, and it was not repaired for a long time. Although the surrounding vegetation was lush, there was no sign of life, and the air was filled with the smell of corruption from time to time.

Artemisia annua glanced around, but she didn't notice any movement, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. Suddenly, his feet slipped, and he hurriedly took two steps forward, only to hear a loud thud and kick something. He looked down and saw a rice bowl rolling out along the stone path and shattering on a stone lamppost on one side.

This crisp sound is usually commonplace, but in this quiet and terrifying courtyard, it is as striking as a candle flame in the night. After the crisp sound, I saw a distorted black shadow suddenly appear at the door of the house at the end of the path, and two flashes of red light passed through the crack in the door, and the gate of the courtyard slammed shut.

Artemisia was startled, the tray in his hand was unstable, and the food was crackling and scattered all over the ground, and he turned his head to look, only to find the source of the sour and rotten gas. It turned out that the food delivered in recent days had not been touched at all, and had been sprinkled under the wall, and had rotted and deteriorated. He turned his head to look at the black shadow again, and couldn't help but panic in his heart, and his face turned pale, secretly saying that this Huazhi elder had already encountered an accident?

"Bang!" With a loud bang, the two doors in front of him instantly flew towards him. The distance between the two was so short, of course Artemisia Annua couldn't react, and even if he reacted quickly, he couldn't resist such a powerful attack!

At the critical moment, the two disciples of Jian Xingju reacted, the two of them moved neatly, jumped on tiptoe in front of Artemisia Qinghao, and between drawing the sword, the sword star lit up, and the left and right sword qi crossed in the air, instantly cutting the gate into several pieces, but the strength of this gate was undiminished, and it fell into the courtyard wall behind him with a few swishs, it seems that the strength of this thing is quite large!

The two doors were penetrated by a huge force, and there was naturally no obstruction in front of them, and it could be seen that the red mist in the house was shrouded, and a vague figure in the fog was hiding in it, but it was very indistinct. The two of them saw a surge in the red mist, and two blood-red spikes spun around and shot out, hitting the two of them in the chest. The two felt that this attack was infinitely powerful, and they knew that they couldn't make a hard connection, so they stirred the long sword in their hands, wrapped the spikes in it, and then pulled back, only to see the two spikes grazing the bodies of the two and flying backwards, and without hesitation, they stabbed the courtyard wall into two hollows, and the bombardment sounded.

"I don't know who Your Excellency is, can you show your true body?" The two Sword Star Residence disciples knew that this person was very strong, and although it seemed easy to defuse that attack just now, it had consumed a lot of their own strength, so they thought about delaying some time to recover some strength, so they asked. However, although the figure in the red mist showed no signs of attacking for the time being, it was silent, tilting its head and not knowing what it was thinking.

Artemisia finally came to his senses at this time, and saw that the monster in the red mist was still standing, and he also secretly thought, although he was not good at swords, but he knew a little bit about the formation, especially the people of this Biqiao Valley acted rigorously, and almost all the places where they lived were listed with many magic arrays, but they had not yet been activated.

Ordinary dwellings have a kind of defensive circle, which can cover their houses and play the role of defending against foreign invasions. But every time you go out and go in, it not only takes a lot of effort, but it has also consumed a lot for a long time, and the Bi Box Valley is protected by the valley mouth array, which has been very peaceful over the years, so the defensive circle has become an ornament. But if the Great Array is activated, trapping this monster inside will also buy them some time to escape.

Taking advantage of the stalemate between the two parties, Artemisia took a look around, although the outer wall of this courtyard was destroyed, but fortunately, this large array should be hidden in other things, not arranged in it. He lowered his body and looked forward through the gap in front of the two of them, and found that the lamppost that had just broken his rice bowl was different, presumably it should be the thing that activated the magic circle. However, the lamppost in front of them is a foot away from them, and if they step forward to activate it without authorization, they are afraid that before they do it, they will be left with the same hole on the courtyard wall.

Seeing that the red mist monster did not move, he took a step forward and whispered to the two of them in Jian Xingju, the two frowned slightly when they heard this, nodded, stared at the red mist in front of them, and slowly moved forward with the Artemisia annua, and the distance from the lamppost was getting closer and closer. Just when they were only three steps away from the lamppost, they saw that the monster in the red mist had discovered something and was about to move.

"Senior Brother Qing, do it quickly, we'll help you hold it back!" Seeing a few spikes shooting towards them in the red mist, the two of them gritted their teeth and exerted twelve points of strength, when they resisted, although the strength of the two was decent, and their appearance was a little embarrassed, but fortunately, they could barely support for a while with all their strength.

In just a few breaths, the two sides went back and forth dozens of moves, at first the two of them could resist completely, but later under a few negligences, their bodies were also scratched several times, although the wounds were not threatening, but the two of them were also a little powerless, and urged urgently: "Senior Brother Qing! I should... I'll be ready in no time!"

Ordinary magic circles established according to artifacts have fixed several activation points, as long as they are triggered according to the law, they can open the magic circle, but the formation on the lamppost in front of them is very vague, and Artemisia annua has not found the correct path for a while, and she is also secretly anxious.

However, the magic circle is such a thing, the more anxious you are, the easier it is to make mistakes, Artemisia closed and took a few deep breaths, his expression finally stabilized, his eyes lit up and said darkly: There is! Then with a tap of his finger, a golden light flashed, and the room was covered in an instant. Seeing that the spikes of the monster in the red mist shot at the magic circle, making the magic circle tremble, but it could not destroy the magic circle, the three of them sat down on the ground, and the sweat all over their bodies could not stop flowing.

Artemisia was very nervous just now, she was already sweating profusely, she wiped her hands on her face, and was about to persuade the two to take the opportunity to leave, but she saw them looking at her with worried faces: "Senior Brother Qing, when were you injured?" The three of them looked at each other, then raised their hands, found that they were red with blood, and quickly stood up from the ground.

Just now they thought that the stone pavement on the ground was damp and slippery, but they didn't expect that this dark stone pavement was actually covered with blood! The three of them hurriedly turned around and were about to leave the place of right and wrong, and they had to take advantage of the fact that this monster was trapped to quickly notify the disciples in the valley to avoid unnecessary casualties.

However, the monster was suddenly so quiet, which surprised the three of them. When they came to the door and looked back, they saw that the monster had no idea what to do, and actually dispersed the magic circle alive. A figure slowly stepped out of the room, and in an instant turned into a red mist, slowly drifting towards them, and the lampposts and plants and trees in the path were visibly decaying. Then the red mist actually floated above their heads, and it was about to attack them in a moment's time.

"Oops!" Seeing the miserable state of the stone lamppost, the two of them were also very frightened, they didn't expect that this red mist was so corrosive, how could their physical body compare to that lamppost, this would definitely die! At this moment, the Qinghao suddenly changed her complexion, and exclaimed, "Elder Huazhi, you are Elder Huazhi!"

There was a soft sigh in the red mist, and then a painful moan: "Blood! Give me blood! uh... Ah!" a red light flashed in the red mist, and it was about to rush towards them again. At this critical juncture, I heard a shout outside the door: "Elder, I'm here to bring you food!" I saw two live chickens fall in from outside the wall, and the red mist turned around, surrounding the two live chickens in the middle, only to see the feathers flying, and after the blood was spilled, the two live poultry became two skeletons and scattered in the grass.

At the same time, I saw a figure jumping down on the courtyard wall, he wiped the sweat on his face, and the makeup on his face was like a cat.

It turned out that this atractylodes was in charge of this daily meal before, but today Baizhu had to go to the women's clothing on a whim to investigate, so he asked Huang Teng to help deliver the meal. However, he met Artemisia Annua on the way, and after the "perfect" figure on his chest was recognized, he ate one of the two steamed buns, which had become large and small breasts, and the two disciples behind him were originally dragged by raw pulling, and he was unwilling to contribute his only steamed bun, so he had no choice but to go to the canteen to take another one and stuff it in.

But when he came to the canteen to stuff the steamed buns, he found that the package containing two live chickens that Huang Teng Qian had instructed was still dropped, and secretly said that it was not good, so he rushed to the courtyard of the elder Huazhi with the live chickens, but on the way he met Huang Teng humming a small song. He looked Huang Teng up and down, and found that there was nothing wrong with him, but in a few words, he knew that this meal was stopped by Artemisia Annua halfway, and he immediately angrily smashed the two buns on his chest at Huang Teng, and rushed over in a hurry, and he still came in time, if it was a little late, I am afraid that these people would be more than lucky.

Seeing that the red mist had returned to normal, Baizhu briefly checked the injuries of the two of Jian Xingju, and found that they were fine, so he was relieved...
