Two rays of light flew from afar and descended in front of the mountain gate engraved with the words "Xuanxin Sect".

One of them looked around, only to see the twelve mountain peaks towering and steep, majestic and deep, even the clouds and mist were only halfway up the mountainside, the sea of clouds was facing upward, as if the country of immortals, and couldn't help but praise: "It's really magnificent!"

"Hahaha, I'm afraid it's still a little worse than your sect!" the other person hugged his shoulder affectionately, "Ah Lan, come on, come on, Senior Brother Qi and Senior Brother Xie couldn't wait to say that they wanted to learn from you!" ”

"Really?" Shen Jinglan smiled, "So I'm already so famous?"

"Of course you're very famous! Ever since you defeated Jiang Zixuan of the Holy Flame Pavilion at the Sword Discussion Conference and won the first place in the youth group, there are very few people in the world who don't know about you. Di Zhen said.

As they spoke, they climbed the stairs.

"Who's that, and what are you doing here?"

Shen Jinglan looked at the thin figure kneeling motionless in front of the mountain gate.

The clothes were ragged, the dust was blowing, the knees were worn out, and the blood seeped into the cracks in the stones, as if they had climbed up from the foot of the mountain with great difficulty.

For mortals who don't know how to fly, it is not easy to climb to the mountain gate of the Xuanxin Sect - let alone such a young child.

"Let's go, let's go," Di Zhen tugged at his sleeve and said in a low voice, "The sect doesn't allow any disciple to take over this child's affairs, and you can't take care of it." ”

"What the hell is going on?"

"This child's sister Yin Yunxiang is also a disciple of this sect, and she was kidnapped by the demon Du Feiqing a few days ago, probably because ......" he said, "It was used as a furnace by him, and it is not the first time that Du Demon has done this kind of thing." The elders of several major sects had united to hunt him down, but this person was extremely skilled and proficient in all kinds of escape methods, but let him escape, and then he not only did not restrain himself, but intensified his efforts. The kidnapping of Yin Yunxiang was also one of his retaliatory actions, and several disciples he sent were also captured by him. The grapevine said that the various sects had secretly made a three-chapter agreement with the demon, and he would no longer attack the disciples of his own sect, and he would not be responsible for the past. This also includes your sect's Shattered Star Sect. ”

"So......" Di Zhen sighed lightly and looked sympathetically at the kneeling child, "there is really no one to take care of what he is asking for." ”

He quickened his pace and forcibly dragged Shen Jinglan away.

“……”

Shen Jinglan finally glanced at the figure of Lingding. In the eyes of this genius young man who has always been high-spirited, there is a rare trace of solemnity in his eyes.

……

The pine forests are quiet and the mountain streams are murmuring.

The awe-inspiring sword aura startled the birds in the forest.

"Good sword, good sword!"

While Wei Xuanfeng was drinking, he shouted at Xu Xiaofei, who was urging the sword moves: "Brother Xu, you have made great progress in these moves! But in my opinion, you ......."

He commented here and there.

Xu Xiaofei thought about it and made a comparison.

After pondering for a moment, he swung his sword again.

The sword body trembled slightly, as if it was just being blown by the breeze - the invisible sword qi swirled out at this moment, and in the blink of an eye, a big tree surrounded by one person stopped and broke off.

Xu Xiaofei said happily: "Brother Wei's guidance can make me gain a lot every time!"

"Hahaha, the foolish brother has only practiced swords for ten years more than you! I have walked all the detours you have taken back then, and I know which places to pay more attention to. Wei Xuanfeng said.

Rong Han, who was drinking with him on the side, said with a smile: "Although Brother Xu is less experienced, his talent in kendo is very rare. Hey, Brother Wei," he pushed Wei Xuanfeng with his elbow, "Maybe in the next Sword Conference, we will have to compete with Brother Xu." ”

"Next?" Wei Xuanfeng took a bite of roast chicken, poured a sip of wine, and hummed, "Do you believe that I can win the first place in the youth group this time, and what do I need to participate in the next session?"

"Although Brother Wei's sword is powerful, I'm afraid it is not the opponent of Brother Xu's senior brother Han Yue. "Rong Han Road.

"Han Yue...... Unexpectedly, Wei Xuanfeng, who had an arrogant face, actually nodded and agreed, "He is indeed a formidable opponent." I heard that the Qinglian Sword Technique he created himself had almost reached the point of leapfrogging the challenge. ”

He said to Xu Xiaofei mysteriously: "Brother Xu, good brother, most of your swordsmanship was taught by Han Yue, and you are very familiar with him. What new moves has he recently studied that give me a glimpse? Or, you will take me to the place where he practiced his sword to peep?"

Xu Xiaofei knew that he was joking, and also smiled: "I'm afraid this is not very good, right? Senior brother knows, but he wants to break my leg." ”

He collected his sword, sat down across from them, and poured himself a glass of wine.

Although he had been practicing hard recently, these two people asked him to come out to drink, but he still came out neatly. Communicating with friends is more significant than blindly practicing swords in the sect.

After drinking for a while and chatting about his swordsmanship experience, Rong Han suddenly said, "Lu Zhifeng, that kid, why hasn't he come until now?"

"You also invited him?" Wei Xuanfeng asked.

"yes, I haven't seen him in a long time, and the last time was a year ago. He promised that next year's Chongyang Festival would definitely bring wine to the party, and by the way, he would learn from everyone. ”

"A year ago?" Wei Xuanfeng frowned, "I'm afraid he forgot about it a long time ago! To be honest, I have long thought that this kid is mysterious, his origin is unknown, his whereabouts are also erratic, and he doesn't know what he's doing all day long." ”

"Alright," Rong Han raised his glass, "you just don't say a word, don't mention him, drink." ”

The three good friends chatted, and gradually talked about the recent new things in the cultivation world from swordsmanship.

Before I knew it, the sun was setting in the west, and the wine jar was all empty and scattered all over the place.

"It's getting late, let's go. "Rong Han Road.

“…… Hmm, what's the hurry, drink again, drink ......" Wei Xuanfeng said with his tongue wide open.

Rong Han glanced at him helplessly.

"Let's take this guy to the inn first. These days, it is said that many people have disappeared in the vicinity, but their whereabouts have not been found. Leave him here alone, and maybe he'll be eaten by wild wolves. ”

Xu Xiaofei nodded. The two of them stood up Wei Xuanfeng, whose eyes were wandering.

"It's really a pleasure today, hahaha! Brother Xu, I didn't expect you to drink very well, but unfortunately, it's still a little worse than me...... Belch. Wei Xuanfeng said boldly.

The other two looked at each other and smiled.

Every time this guy gets drunk, he gets drunk fast, and he always thinks he has a thousand cups.

After walking for a while, Xu Xiaofei suddenly said, "There is a child under the tree in front." ”

Sure enough, there was a little boy, curled up like a kitten under a big tree, and his eyes peeped at them in horror.

"Why are you here alone, your parents?" Rong Han said softly.

The child was frightened at first, and then shook his head in horror: "He, they ......"

"Don't rush, speak slowly. ”

His soft voice finally calmed the boy down a little, and he continued.

"They, they...... Eaten by a youkai!" The child cried out "Wow", "It's so big... A big wolf with a ...... in the middle of his forehead One horn, one bite swallowed Grandma into the stomach! Daddy told me to run and take a big axe to fight the wolf...... Woohoo......"

Unexpectedly, what this kid said was such a tragic situation, even Wei Xuanfeng was a little sober, and the three of them looked at each other.

"A big wolf with horns on his forehead...... Should it be a snow-silver-crowned wolf?" Xu Xiaofei said.

"I think so. Could it be that the nearby disappearance case is also related to this demon wolf?" Rong Han said, "If it is a snow-silver crested wolf, the three of us can deal with it." ”

"Of course, without further ado, we will go and eliminate harm for the people now!" Wei Xuanfeng hurriedly interjected, and asked the child again, "Xiaowa, where is your home, take us quickly." We killed the wolf to avenge your parents. Hey, don't cry, do you hear me?"

Rong Han glared at him, bent down and patted the child's back, and coaxed the child for a while before calming the child down.

The child stopped crying, wiped his eyes, and said, "I'll take you there." A few big brothers, you must help my father and mother avenge it. ”

When he spoke, he even had a bit of a resolute look.

The children lead the way, and they follow.

It was completely dark. This child may have lived in the mountains for a long time, but he is not afraid, and he walks through the mountains, forests and valleys, and is as dexterous as an ape.

After walking for a while, he came into an empty valley, and stopped in front of a boulder shaped like a crouching tiger.

"Can't walk, or are you lost?" Rong Han asked.

"I—I want to think about it......" the child said.

He climbed the boulder with his hands and feet, as if to climb up and look out, so that he could make his way.

"Think about it. ”

Before Rong Han's words fell, the ground under the feet of the three of them shook violently and suddenly collapsed.

The boy stood on the boulder and stared at them, with a mysterious smile in his big dark eyes.

This look doesn't look like a child at all.

Fraud?

They were just about to use the retreat to fly, when the "child" stomped his feet, and he didn't know what mechanism he had stepped on, and a magic weapon like a net pocket fell from the sky and intercepted them back.

The suction surged from under their feet, and all three of them fell into the endless darkness.

When Xu Xiaofei woke up, he found that he was lying in a dimly lit stone room, and his whole body was as sore as if he had been beaten severely.

After the ground collapsed, he seemed to have been falling for a long time before he fell heavily and fainted.

It's supposed to be deep underground.

Wei Xuanfeng and Rong Han were still asleep, lying next to him on their backs. Xu Xiaofei shook them awake one by one.

"Where is this?" Rong Han asked when he woke up.

Xu Xiaofei shook his head, how did he know.

Wei Xuanfeng sniffed his nose and said, "Do you smell a fragrance? ”

"What's strange?" Xu Xiaofei asked.

There was a hint of sweetness in the air, and he could smell it, but he didn't know what was wrong.

"Can't you smell what this is?" Wei Xuanfeng suddenly poked Rong Han with a wicked smile on his face, and said sneakily, "I just said that this guy is a chick, and he really doesn't understand it at all." ”

"He is. Rong Han also agreed, "In the future, we have to pay attention in front of him, don't take him badly." ”

"Hey, what are you secretly talking about me, what don't I understand?" Xu Xiaofei was very unconvinced.

As he spoke, a moan of unknown one could be heard faintly from a distance.

It's like pain, it's like joy.

He was slightly stunned, and his fair and handsome face suddenly flushed, and it seemed that he finally understood what they meant.

"Alas, let's not bury Brother Xu," Rong Han said, "that man pretended to be a child and deceived us, after all, there was some purpose. I see, if we continue to be careless, I am afraid that we will soon become human furnaces. ”

"Furnace Ding ......" Wei Xuanfeng showed a disgusting look.

They looked around.

The stone room was empty and unfurnished.

There was no gate, and an iron fence enclosed what was supposed to be a gate, like a prison.

Looking out through the fence, there seemed to be a number of such prisons in the faint hall, and there were many people locked up in them.

"The ones locked up here may be the ones who have recently disappeared. "Rong Han Road.

"Can we break out?" Wei Xuanfeng tried to slap his palm against the iron fence, and a thin golden light floated up, stopping his palm that surrounded the sword qi.

He tried a few more times, but he still couldn't break the golden light.

"This enchantment is tenacious!"

"I'm afraid it's not the tenacity of the enchantment, it's that our spiritual power has been suppressed. "Rong Han Road.

He raised his hand and summoned a small flame.

The blue flame beat in his palm for a moment, and then it was silently extinguished.

"My spiritual power has also stagnated a lot, and if I want to release my divine sense to investigate, I can't go far. Xu Xiaofei also said.

I'm afraid that here, it is shrouded in a large array that suppresses spiritual power.

They discussed for a while, and then they saw a woman and two men enter the hall of the cell.

The women are delicate and the men are heroic, wearing silk skirts and black clothes respectively.

They herded three vain men into one of a dozen or so cells, where they re-landed the barrier on the iron fence.

The men they drove away were all dressed in soft white clothes that did not match their ordinary appearances, and when they looked closely, their hands and feet were rough, as if they were used to doing farm work.

"It seems to be a missing farmer nearby. Rong Han whispered.

Look at their yellow skins and unstable feet, and if they are mended a few more times, they will have to die.

"What is embroidered on their belts," Xu Xiaofei tried to identify, "a flower, like ...... Begonias?"

"Begonia, what, it's him!" Rong Han sighed and came to his senses, "I've heard people mention that this is the symbol of Du Shaoqing, the flower picker back then! He hasn't shown up for many years, and you're afraid you don't know him yet." If this is really his secret cave, things will be difficult. He was able to withstand the siege of several elders back then, and we were no match for him. ”

"Then find a chance to escape, and after escaping, find a helper to save these people. Xu Xiaofei said.

"Alright, let's do what we just discussed. "Rong Han Road.

Both of them looked at Wei Xuanfeng.

"Bang, bang"

The iron fence was pounded hard.

The three of them walked over here, and the woman said coldly, "What do you want to do? Stay obediently, don't try to escape." ”

Rong Han panicked and said: "There is a strange illness here, we ask for a different room!"

"Yes, yes," Xu Xiaofei said, "Change places, don't let him infect us with that strange disease!"

What the?

The woman looked through the fence and saw a man curled up on the ground with his back to her, twitching from time to time, and a puddle of vomited filth on his mouth. She frowned slightly, as if a foul stench emanated from the man lying on the ground.

She hesitated, then glanced at the two men who were leaning against the fence.

The face is very good, the complexion is fair, the body is well-proportioned, and they are all of the best color. Much better than those rough-handed farmers.

It's a pity if you get a strange disease here.

"Okay, let me see. She removed the token from her waist and embedded it in the fence and opened the door.

Xu Xiaofei and both of them secretly flashed with joy in their eyes.

Wei Xuanfeng, who was "paralyzed on the ground", jumped up.

In the blink of an eye, they restrained the trio. They were transformed into their appearance.

Although the spiritual power in this underground is not working smoothly, a simple spell like the illusion can still be barely used.

"Why do you have to be me disguised as this girl?" Xu Xiaofei said dissatisfied.

"Because you're the thinnest," Wei Xuanfeng said confidently, "you should be allowed to exercise more." ”

"That's the truth. Even Rong Han said.

They locked the unconscious trio in their cell and swaggered out.

Du Shaoqing's underground secret cave seems to occupy a large area. Walking out of the hall, I saw three corridors going in different directions.

Every other section of the corridor is inlaid with an everlasting lamp.

Walking in it, their shadows gradually lengthened and shortened.

Since the divine sense can't be explored, it can only grope for the exit as he walks.

Fortunately, although I met some people with the same color of clothing along the way, none of them paid special attention to them.

"Hey, how did you get here?"

Suddenly, someone stopped them.

Looking back, it was the "child" who deceived them.

"Didn't the master send you to move the cold jade couch, why did you linger for so long?" said the boy again.

"Yes, let's move it. Xu Xiaofei said.

"Wait, where are you going? Can't you remember where the cold jade couch is?" the child said helplessly, "What kind of pig brains are they, follow me, don't run around!"

Behind him, the three of them looked at each other and unanimously decided to follow him.

If you do something in the middle of the road, you may be seen by other people who come and go, which will only add to the trouble. It's safer to go into the house later.

The child walked in this labyrinthine underground cave, and he was as familiar as he was on the ground.

Seeing that they were getting more and more remote, Rong Han quietly said to Xu Xiaofei: "Or ...... him here."

Xu Xiaofei also nodded slightly.

The "child" had already said in a loud voice: "What are you doing in the back, don't you keep up! The corner is here, do you want me to move the cold jade couch myself?"

The three had to follow.

Now that you're almost there, it's not too late to wait until you're in the house.

The boy led them to a closed stone door.

"Why are you three disguised as my men?"

A voice suddenly floated out from behind the stone door.

- They were amazed!

This "child" actually brought them to Du Feiqing's place?

"Back to the master, they were captured by me, Yao Huang and the others who had been stunned earlier and escaped, if they hadn't been bumped into by me, they would have run away!" The "child" hurriedly complained.

The three of them turned around and wanted to run, when a suction force hit and dragged them in without saying a word.

As soon as he fell into the inner room, the sweet fragrance that had been looming all this time suddenly became rich.

A delicate copper incense burner is wafting smoke. This sweet fragrance comes out of the furnace.

The blazing blubber candles brighten up the interior. A large patch of brightly coloured hides lay on the ground, thick with fur up to the ankles.

However, no matter how luxurious the furnishings are, they are not as eye-catching as the man sitting on the edge of the bed.

The snow-white robe was not pulled up, but was loosely tied around the waist with a belt, and his chest was open.

The exposed chest was originally a little whiter than the robe—but for some reason, there was a faint bright crimson, and on top of the crimson, there was a thin layer of sweat.

The man looked at them one by one.

"It's all cultivators, that's good. I think you can hold on a little longer. ”

His voice was soft and sweet, with a hint of natural charm.

When the man glanced at it, his heart beat wildly for no reason. Xu Xiaofei opened his eyes and didn't dare to look at him again.

Before the man could finish speaking, the three of them drew their swords and attacked together.

Their chances are running out!

The man chuckled and avoided it.

The difference in strength between them did not seem to be a huge disparity. But in this large array that restricts spiritual power, the strength of the three people has been weakened, but this person is the master of the great array, and he is not affected at all.

Within a moment, the flying sword clattered to the ground.

They also fell to the ground with a heavy blow, their bones clattering and wailing. Although there is a soft animal skin under his body, it can't reduce this strong strength.

Xu Xiaofei struggled to get up, and with a flower in front of him, the man appeared in front of him, stretching out a hand as white as jade towards him.

His jaw tightened, and his chin was lifted.

"It's true," the man said quietly, looking at his face, "You really look like the person who gave me a book of swords, but it's a pity that I'm not good at practicing swords...... Okay, just look at your face, I'll treat you a little more leniently, and I'll make you enjoy it a little more later. ”

He chuckled softly, and laughed heartily.

Xu Xiaofei's transfiguration technique had quietly failed when he started it just now.

“……”

Xu Xiaofei condensed his qi into a blade again, and stabbed his heart with a sword.

This sword is also extremely neat.

When Wei Xuanfeng and the others saw him make a move, they also hurriedly covered up.

The man didn't even look at it, and after a few random strokes, he beat the three of them to the ground.

He pinched Xu Xiaofei's chin with one hand and stuffed a crimson pill into his mouth.

"Quick, spit it out!" Wei Xuanfeng said busily.

Xu Xiaofei lowered his head and wanted to vomit, but he didn't vomit anything. The elixir melted in his mouth, and it had already turned into juice and flowed into his throat.

"My Bliss Pill is rich and sweet, and it can make people taste Bliss, and others ask for it, but they can't ask for it. The man laughed, "If you want him to vomit, where will he be willing?"

He looked at Xu Xiaofei with a twinkle in his eyes: "Did you say?"

Xu Xiaofei gritted his teeth and shut up and didn't answer.

……

In the Heavenly Absolute Sect Altar.

Shen Jinglan was looking at a white jade pigeon that stopped on the back of his hand, and a small brass tube was tied to the pigeon's leg. The pigeon's eyes shone like two rubies.

He sniffed the remaining smell of the pigeon and said, "Sure enough, it was a letter from Xiao Yin." ”

That wisp of sweet fragrance that can promote affection, even if it is thin, he can smell it.

"Really?" said Lin Yan, "After many years, he still remembers this agreement." ”

"Didn't we forget it?" Shen Jinglan sighed lightly, "He has finally come this far." Over the years, he hasn't asked us for anything else, so let's get to know each other, Xiaoyan, you go and give him a ride. ”

"Yes, Master. "Lin Yan said.
