CHAPTER XLIII

The sun slowly sank from the foot of the mountain, and the light in the cave became dimmer and dimmer, Shi'er and Xiao Qin hugged each other, curled up in the cave, waiting. It was the end of summer, and it was still a little cool after the night in the mountain, and the two of them leaned against the stone wall in the cave, only to feel a cold cold drilling into the skin. The two were cold and hungry, hungry, and could only grit their teeth and huddle together.

As time passed, Shi'er only felt that the place on her back that was injured by Bai Zhi before was a little numb. But he knew that there was simply no time or condition for him to treat his wounds. He could only continue to endure like this until the two escaped.

I don't know how long I waited, but there was a noise outside the cave.

Shi'er and Xiao Qin glanced at each other in the dark, then tiptoed towards the entrance of the cave, picking up the branches and leaves of the bushes at the entrance of the cave, and cautiously looked outside.

It was getting late, and a crescent moon hung in the sky, dimly shining on the mountains. In the night sky, Bai Zhi was in white clothes, standing in the air, looking this way.

Shi'er was startled, hurriedly retracted his head, and cautiously touched Xiao Qin's side, and made a silent gesture to Xiao Qin.

Xiao Qin sighed in his heart, seeing Shi'er acting like this, it was obvious that Bai Zhi was looking for him outside.

Shi'er opened his mouth and silently made a "white stop" mouth shape.

Xiao Qin also became nervous, his hands involuntarily clenched into fists, but his eyes were firmly fixed on the entrance of the cave.

At this time, Bai Zhi outside the cave was still stopped in mid-air, looking at the caves on the mountain wall, his face sinking like water.

The two little things were walking fast, and when he was suddenly attacked, he only hesitated, and when he looked down, there was no trace of them.

Bai Zhi followed the breath of the two and chased them into the mountain, but the mountain forest was extremely dense, and the terrain was quite steep, and the two little things escaped from the distance under the cover of the terrain, and Bai Zhi couldn't find any trace of them for a while.

Bai Zhi is not worried about the two of them getting away, the two of them are just two children, even if the body is good, it is limited, there will always be times when they are tired and can't run. What Bai Zhi is really worried about is Lin Muyi.

Bai Zhi didn't expect Lin Mu to be so decisive when he made a move, and as soon as he made a move, a high-level talisman came over, and he was caught off guard by Lin Muyi's Xuanbing Hundred Blades, so he had to use the illusion doppelganger-body technique, although the body avoided the danger of the ice blade, but was beaten off by Shengsheng An incarnation.

The incarnation was destroyed, and Bai Zhi's body was also greatly affected, his heart was shaken, and his strength also decreased sharply. But Lin Muyi was still pressing step by step, and Bai Zhi had no choice but to separate a doppelganger to entangle Lin Muyi, but his body went straight to the two children. No matter how he got entangled with Lin Muyi, he had to give priority to completing the task of his honor.

Although he successfully snatched the two children out, he didn't want the child next to Lin Muyi to be so good, obviously a mortal body without any spiritual roots, but he also injured his wrist and escaped with the emperor's eldest grandson.

Bai Zhi followed the breath of the two of them, and chased them all the way to the edge of the cliff, but there was no trace of the two of them.

This mountain cliff is steep, and there are countless large and small caves on the cliff wall, countless, those two little things can be found at random, where can he find it?

At this moment, Bai Zhi's body hanging in the air suddenly shook, and he vomited out of a mouthful of blood.

"What a Lin Muyi!" Bai Zhi scolded fiercely that his body was damaged, thinking that Lin Muyi had injured his other doppelganger.

Bai Zhi scolded, but he moved again and flew straight to the cliff.

His incarnation has been fighting with Lin Muyi for a long time, and now he is injured by Lin Muyi, and if he wants to come to Lin Muyi to get rid of the restraint, he will soon find him. If Lin Muyi came, he was afraid that it would not be so simple to subdue him, and then he would have to free up his hands to deal with these two little ones.

Bai Zhi flew up the cliff wall, looked down, and saw that there were hundreds of caves scattered on the cliff wall, large and small, some of the holes were very large, and they could see the bottom at a glance, and some of them were extremely small, and they were hidden in the vegetation, and the moonlight was dim, and they could not be seen. He only vaguely felt the general direction of the two children's breaths, but he couldn't know where they were hiding.

In this way, only one of them has been found.

Bai Zhi cleared his throat, used his aura, and his voice spread high and far: "Two boys, where are you hiding? Xiaosheng won't harm you, what are you hiding?"

The top of the mountain is empty, and the clear voice of Bai Zhi pierces far away, and there are countless echoes in this valley, and there are countless echoes passing back, and for a time it seems that the sound of Bai Zhi is all over the mountain.

Shi'er and Xiao Qin listened to it, and couldn't help but shrink into the cave nervously, and their clenched palms were soaked with sweat.

Bai Zhi waited for a while, but still didn't see the slightest response, frowned, and the peach blossom eyes that were usually crooked and smiling also showed a bit of spiritual power, and he didn't delay any longer, jumped off the cliff, and found them one by one.

Shi'er looked out of the cave again, glanced at it and immediately retracted his head.

Shi'er rubbed back again, leaning next to Xiao Qin, and communicating with him silently with his mouth.

Outside, Bai Zhi is looking for caves one by one, although there are hundreds of caves on the cliff wall here, but it is only a matter of time before Bai Zhi finds here.

If Bai Zhi had come to their rescue, the people who had come to their rescue had not yet arrived......

Shi'er pursed her lips, now that the two of them were trapped in this cave, they were really at a loss.

At this time, Shi'er and Lin Muyi had been separated for a whole day, and I don't know how Lin Muyi was now? Since he hadn't come to find Shi'er, had he not yet gotten out of trouble? Was he also in danger? Shi'er suddenly became nervous. I wonder if Lin Muyi is okay, is he injured, will he also be injured by the bad guys?

Thinking of this, Shi'er was even more difficult to sit still.

Since he left Mingtai Gate, he and Lin Muyi have almost eaten and lived together, and they are inseparable. Even if Lin Muyi just sat there meditating and practicing by himself and didn't pay attention to him, Shi'er still had an indescribable stability in his heart. Because Lin Muyi was by his side, he didn't leave him, nor did he leave him alone. Shi'er didn't dare to ask for more, as long as he could stay by Lin Muyi's side, as long as it was enough.

However, people's hearts will always be full of dissatisfaction, and they will always gain inches. Slowly, he will feel that this is not enough. It's not enough to just accompany him, he hopes that Lin Muyi can notice him, really love him, and put him in his heart, just like he doesn't want to leave Lin Muyi, and he doesn't want to leave him.

Along the way, he found that Lin Muyi was getting better and better for him. Although he was still cold on the surface, Lin Muyi would keep his eyes on him, would bend down to look into his eyes and support him to speak, and would even change his decision for his request.

Shi'er knew that Lin Muyi didn't really like Xiao Qing, and he didn't want to wade into this troubled water. But because of Shi'er's request, even if Lin Muyi still didn't want to have anything to do with Chu Huan and the others, he reluctantly agreed, and escorted them all the way back to Youxiao Jingcheng.

Regarding Lin Muyi's attitude, Shi'er is secretly happy. He always felt that he seemed to be important to Lin Muyi. Just like for Shi'er, Lin Muyi is so important.

Probably no one has been so kind to him since he can remember. He had never been happier and more at ease than he was now.

And this time, it was the first time they had separated since they left the Mingtai Gate.

Shi'er couldn't help but worry in her heart. That Bai Zhi looks very powerful, will Lin Mu suffer a loss when he is against him, will he be injured?

Time passed little by little, and Bai Zhi outside the cave was still searching back and forth on the cliff wall, maybe he would find them the next moment. And the uneasiness and worry in Shi'er's heart grew like a vine.

On the one hand, he was worried about Lin Muyi, and on the other hand, he was afraid that if he was found by Bai Zhi, he would not be able to protect Xiao Qin.

At this moment, he felt his incompetence so truly. If only he could be stronger......

If he weren't so weak, he wouldn't have to huddle cowardly in this dimly lit corner, waiting to be found or rescued. If he can be stronger, maybe he can protect Xiao Qin and Lin Muyi.

Listening to Bai Zhi's voice outside getting closer and closer, the irritability and uneasiness in Shi'er's heart gradually expanded.

You can't just sit back like that!

Shi'er suddenly pulled out his peachwood sword, turned around and whispered to Xiao Qin: "Sister Qing'er, I'll go and pester him, you can take advantage of the chaos to escape later, leave me alone!"

After speaking, he was about to rush out with his sword in hand.

Xiao Qin was trapped in the cave, and he was also anxious, but looking at Shi'er like a trapped beast, the anxiety in his heart was about to be written on his face, and he couldn't help but worry about him.

Now Shi'er suddenly stood up, and said this again, which also scared Xiao Qin. Hearing him say this, Deng Shi was shocked, and hurriedly rushed up to hug his waist, but he didn't dare to make too much noise to alarm Bai Zhi outside, so he had to lower his voice and persuade: "Where are you his opponent? Won't you go out and die? Let's wait, your master is so powerful, he will definitely come to save us!"

When Shi'er heard that he misunderstood Lin Muyi as his master, he couldn't help but feel sad again. Where is Lin Muyi his master? Where is he qualified to worship Lin Muyi as a teacher? But now he has no intention of explaining these things to Xiao Qin, so he just whispers: "Although I am not his opponent, I can hold him back for a while, you can just take advantage of the chaos and escape, leave me alone! If you wait any longer, when he finds here, none of us will be able to escape!"

Where could Xiao Qin let him go out to die, and he didn't dare to make too much noise, so he could only hug his waist and stop him from going out.

The two of them came and went, and they couldn't help but bump into the rubble under their feet, making a slight noise.

The voice was faint, but in the silence of the night, it seemed to be infinitely amplified, and it could be heard clearly. For a moment, there was silence inside and outside the cave.

Shi'er and Xiao Qin glanced at each other, knowing that it was not good.

Sure enough, the next moment, Bai Zhi's voice suddenly came from outside the cave: "Two little things, they were originally hidden here, but they are easy for me to find." ”

Shi'er's face was neat, his sword was on his chest, his lips were pursed, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the mouth of the cave.

I saw a slender and white hand parting the bushes at the entrance of the cave, and Bai Zhi's smiling face was revealed.

Shi'er's hand holding the sword tightened, and he was about to rush forward, Xiao Qin hurriedly hugged his waist again: "Don't be impulsive, you are not his opponent, your master will definitely come to save us!"

Shi'er hesitated slightly.

Bai Zhi smiled, leaned over and looked into the cave, but found that the entrance of the cave was narrow, and only petite children like Shi'er and Xiao Qin could get in. He looked deeper into the cave again, it wasn't deep, but with their current position, he couldn't touch them.

Seeing this, Xiao Qin desperately dragged Shi'er back back.

A trace of coldness flashed on Bai Zhi's face, and then he smiled again: "Is the master you are talking about that Lin Muyi?"

Shi'er couldn't help but get nervous again when he heard him mention Lin Muyi, and he didn't like him to mention Lin Muyi in a disapproving tone, so he only pursed his lips and didn't say a word, but his eyes were staring at Bai Zhi.

The smile on Bai Zhi's face was even brighter: "If you are like this, he will come to save you...... Then I advise you not to wait. “

Shi'er's little face crumbled, but she still couldn't hold her breath, and asked, "Why do you say that?"

When Xiao Qin heard that Shi'er couldn't hold his breath and speak, he knew that it was going to be bad, so he hugged Shi'er to death, but he still couldn't stop it.

I only heard Bai Zhi's voice flirtatious, with a smile and pleasure that couldn't be concealed: "Of course it's because he has been killed by me!"

Before he finished speaking, Shi'er had already broken free from Xiao Qin's arm and rushed out with a peachwood sword.

"You're talking nonsense!" he said angrily as he raised his sword and stabbed at Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi was waiting for him to be breathless, and he was not afraid of his sword moves, and with a casual wave of one hand, he avoided the edge of the peachwood sword, and then turned his palm over, and it was turned in front of Shi'er. Shi'er was suddenly attacked in front of him by Bai Zhi's palm, and before he could react, he was choked by Bai Zhi.

Xiao Qin exclaimed in surprise and was about to pounce, but was swept aside by Bai Zhi's other hand, hit the cave wall, and couldn't get up for a long time.

Bai Zhi didn't look at Xiao Qin who fell to the ground, he only stared at Shi'er's red face, and the smile on his face was even stronger: "I'll kill your master first, and then send you to see him underground, how about it?"

Shi'er only felt that the palm on his neck was getting stronger and stronger, and he was so suffocated that he couldn't breathe, and his face gradually turned red.

Maybe he's going to die here.

Shi'er thought to herself.

He couldn't see Lin Muyi, and he couldn't protect Xiao Qin.

He was so useless, so weak.

If, if he can be a little stronger, a little stronger......

Shi'er's consciousness began to blur a little. In the haze, he seemed to hear Lin Muyi's voice. It was Lin Muyi who was calling his name.

Suddenly, he heard Bai Zhi snort, and then he only felt a loosening of his neck, the pressure dropped sharply, and his whole body fell to the ground.

He struggled to get up from the ground and looked out of the cave again.

I saw that Bai Zhi had retreated from the entrance of the cave, and the bushes at the entrance of the cave were also swept away by him, revealing the scene outside.

Under the white moonlight, Lin Muyi was dressed in white and stained with blood, stepping on a flying sword, standing in the air, his face was calm, and a thick vine on his wrist flew in the air, and he spoke coldly.

"Kill me, what a big breath!"
