More than a month later, the heavy rains in the south that lingered in the spring and summer finally stopped.

The long-lost sunshine shines on the people who have suffered a lot, but it brings the confusion of the rest of their lives.

However, the dense forests of southern Xinjiang have just ushered in the rainy season of the year. Although it was not a heavy rain all night long, it was very erratic and irregular.

One moment it was still a clear sky, and the next moment it was cloudy, and countless soybean-sized raindrops fell.

Like an elusive, sometimes sorrowful and sometimes joyful girl.

A millipede, the thickness of an adult's arm, crawled over the soft ground, rubbing against the leaves, making a crisp "click, click" sound, and the colorful spider with a body larger than a human face hung from the tree, and countless fine eyes turned in unison, staring at the prey not far away, the blue cobwebs were already open, just waiting for the prey to enter the web.

"Whew!" a wisp of cold air came from nowhere, and in an instant it froze the cobwebs into ice, startling away millipedes and colorful spiders.

Nangong Beidou gently touched the huge cobwebs with the Flying Frost Sword, and the frozen filaments could not bear the frost, so they shattered one after another, fell into some muddy land, melted into water and disappeared among the leaves.

In just three days, in the face of these insects and snakes everywhere in southern Xinjiang, Nangong Beidou was no longer surprised, but the other people behind him still maintained a little uneasiness.

"Senior Brother Nangong, how far is it from the agreed place?" Shangguan Chengtai asked, carrying the huge submerged dragon sparrow, looking at the others with some concern.

Since stepping through Yunmeng Daze, everyone has maintained a high degree of vigilance, for fear of alarming the people in the Demon Gate. However, along the way, what they encountered was not an attack of the same kind, but countless demons hiding in the shadows.

Although they were all the best among the disciples of Cunwei Mountain, in the face of the unknown and unfamiliar environment, they still made wrong judgments and lost one person.

I thought it would be better after going deep into this forest, but I didn't expect the southern Xinjiang dense forest to really live up to its reputation.

There are fewer demons, but they are facing hordes of poisonous insects and poisonous snakes. Even Nangong Beidou is not only a little haggard.

"We're just getting started. Nangong Beidou also sensed the uneasiness and cowardice that began to appear among his companions, and thought so in his heart.

"The place of contact is not far away, and they all cheer up. Nangong Beidou endured it, and finally swallowed back the harsher words.

Blind criticism will not achieve his goal, and there are indeed differences between people in this world, which are two things he has learned recently.

"Alert!" Shangguan Chengtai suddenly roared, and the huge submerged dragon sparrow was pinched by him with one hand, and his originally childish face was suddenly solemn, and every expression and every movement was as resolute as a sword.

The surroundings darkened for some time, and there was a creepy sound ahead, like countless crawlers crawling across the ground.

The Cunwei disciples drew their swords one after another, looking nervously ahead.

Nangong Beidou held the Flying Frost Sword, his handsome eyebrows were as cold as frost, and he was about to make a move, but he noticed a heat wave behind him, and his body gently deviated to the left.

The rolling waves of fire were like a huge fire dragon, engulfing everything in front of them, and the sparks jumped on the scorched branches, shining with the last rays.

The spirit of the Chixiao Golden-backed Carp spat out a mouthful of flames, swam in the air with its head and tail, and returned to its master's hands: the flying flames reflected Ning Qingyun's indifferent but shocking face.

Nangong Beidou didn't look back, only took a few steps forward: the countless unknown poisonous insects on the ground had almost turned into ashes like the surrounding grass and trees, and only a few were far away from the center and were not burned to death.

Only then did he glance back at Ning Qingyun, a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes, and he said to the rest: "Keep going." ”

The rest of Cunwei Mountain breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Ning Qingyun's eyes showing envy, worship and fear in turn, and stepping through the scorched land according to Nangong Beidou's words.

Shangguan Chengtai carried the submerged dragon sparrow back on his shoulder, and said indifferently: "Senior sister, let's break it off with me." ”

Ning Qingyun walked silently, as every day and night over the years, silent.

Nangong Beidou and Shangguan Chengtai may not have witnessed everything with their own eyes on that day six years ago, but with their status, it doesn't mean that they don't know what happened on that day.

Nangong Beidou could still figure it out, but Shangguan Chengtai was never able to have any good impression of Ning Qingyun.

But she was still their fellow disciple and their companion.

However, Ning Qingyun himself also isolated himself from his companions, obeyed Nangong Beidou's instructions, and only silently did what he had to do.

Among the people who traveled with them, only Nangong Beidou, Shangguan Chengtai, and Ning Qingyun were the disciples of the inner gate, and the rest of the disciples were all elites selected from the deacons of the outer gate, and some were from the Nangong family.

This time, Cunwei Mountain traveled thousands of miles across Yunmeng Daze to come here because an outer disciple who was sent to investigate here had discovered some important information.

This information did not attract Cunweishan's attention at first, but after Shen Yuanxi somehow learned the news, he intended to go to southern Xinjiang to find out in person.

It's just that this matter was stopped by the acting head Tailu Zhenren.

Over the years, the relationship between Nangong Beidou and Shen Yuanxi has long been greatly improved, and he knows very well the countless crises that this senior brother has piled up behind the seemingly glorious in the sect.

In his opinion, Tailu Zhenren's decision was correct. But Nangong Beidou was also convinced of Shen Yuanxi's decision.

So, he volunteered to take on the task.

After hundreds of thousands of people died in Jinyun City for no reason, Yuxu Mountain has been trying its best to investigate, and after Taihao Zhenren and Qingning Zhenren went to Yuxu Mountain, they found that the cause of death of those people in Jinyun City was the result of a combination of a certain formation and southern Xinjiang witchcraft.

From then on, Shen Yuanxi began to send people to southern Xinjiang to look for clues.

The customs of the Wu clan are very different from those of other places in Shenzhou, and the dispute with the Star Luo Sect for more than ten years has caused the Wu clan to be extremely wary of outsiders, and it is difficult to find traces.

Although the news this time is a bit vague, it is very likely that they can come into contact with the mysterious people of the Southern Xinjiang Wu Clan.

"Who is it?" one of the guards of the Nangong family suddenly shouted.

"Lao Li, what's the matter?" Nangong Beidou's figure was like a phantom, moving to the person's side.

The man known as "Lao Li" rubbed his eyes, and his expression seemed to have seen a ghost: "Young master, there seems to be someone over there just now." ”

Nangong Beidou looked in the direction Lao Li pointed, and there were only countless interlaced branches and heavy leaves.

The brown trunk is curved like a snake, or the bright red or dark yellow leaves appear colorful in the daylight.

"Maybe I'm dazzled. Lao Li said with some guilt.

Nangong Beidou tried to let go of his divine sense, but he didn't notice anything unusual around him, so he continued to lead people forward.

In the rainforest of southern Xinjiang, there were originally many Wu clans.

All kinds of beliefs are blooming everywhere, and each clan has its own beliefs, some believe in the sun shining on the world, some believe in giving gentle moonlight in the night, some believe in plants, trees, flowers and fruits, some believe in gurgling water, and some believe in all kinds of strange poisonous insects.

But at the end of the day, it's all about witch gods.

The sun, the moon, the vegetation, poisonous insects...... All of them are just different clones of the witch god in the human world.

The people of the Wu tribe lived in the rainforest of southern Xinjiang, and it was originally quite harmonious, but I don't know when the disaster began to invade the Wu tribe.

First, the severance of the royal bloodline, and then the step-by-step pursuit of the Star Luo Sect.

Countless clans were wiped out, and countless Wu people fled from the place where they originally lived, and continued to migrate to the depths of the Lianyun Mountains.

Wherever they passed, they transformed the land into an environment suitable for their survival, and the original mountain forests were covered with all kinds of poisonous insects and Gu worms to protect themselves.

The agreed place is a dilapidated Wuzhu Temple.

From the outside, this temple seems to be well preserved, but after Nangong Beidou stepped in, he deeply felt the decay here. Countless spiders, snakes and insects hovered here, and as soon as you stepped in, you felt creepy.

Fortunately, these are just ordinary snakes and insects, and after sensing the human stepping, they immediately fled under the impetus of the torches.

After the disciples of Cunwei and the guards of the Nangong family cleaned up the temple briefly, they quietly waited for Nangong Beidou's order.

Shangguan Chengtai sat indifferently by the threshold, gently caressing the wide sword spine of the Sinking Dragon Sparrow, while Ning Qingyun sat alone in the corner, still not saying a word in the face of the female disciples in her companionship.

When Nangong Beidou saw this, he couldn't help but think of Shen Yuanxi's words before leaving.

"Senior brother is right, you can't go on like this. However, she herself is unwilling to forgive herself, how can others cure her heart disease?" Nangong Beidou watched the sky darken little by little, thinking wildly in his heart.

Time passed little by little, and there was gradually some commotion among the Cunwei disciples.

Nangong Beidou frowned, secretly wondering if something happened to the contact.

At this time, Shangguan Chengtai Huoran, who was guarding the door of the temple, stood up and stared at the dense forest shrouded in darkness.

In the dense forest, there was the sound of unhurried footsteps of two people.

Nangong Beidou came out with a sword, Ning Qingyun followed, and together with Shangguan Chengtai, the three of them spread out in a triangle, already stepping on the three directions of the three light arrays of heaven and earth.

The moonlight shines through the leaves and shines on the faces of the visitors.

A person dressed in tight black, outlining a lean and muscular body, bowing his head slightly, but not looking big. The man's face was unfamiliar, and none of those present had ever seen him.

The other person was dressed in a gray Taoist robe, with two mustaches on his lips, and a wooden sword and dust whisk tied behind his back, looking like a wandering Taoist priest.

But when he raised his head, a smile appeared in his sharp eyes, meeting Shangguan Chengtai's stunned gaze.

"Shaobai?!" Shangguan Chengtai shouted in disbelief, and an arrow stepped forward to look the person in front of him up and down: "Is it really Shaobai?!, why are you here? Uncle Waimen didn't say you ......?"

"Say I'm out on errands? That's right, I'm really out doing things for the sect. Fang Shaobai smiled heartily, stepped forward and hugged Shangguan Chengtai fiercely, but Shangguan Chengtai patted him on the back in turn, almost didn't vomit blood, and hurriedly said: "Oops!

"You actually came to Southern Xinjiang?" Shangguan Chengtai hadn't seen this friend who had grown up together for a long time, and he was very excited, and then he thought of something: "It's so dangerous here, you ...... in vain."

"Aren't you here too? What's dangerous or not, somebody has to do it. Fang Shaobai looked at his past friend and waved his hand lightly.

"Shaobai!"

"Fang Shaobai!" The rest of the outer disciples of Cunwei Mountain heard the voice and came out one after another to greet Fang Shaobai.

"Good boy, it turned out to be you!" A disciple slapped Fang Shaobai and praised him, "Amazing Shaobai, this ghost place is so difficult to stay in, you have stayed for so long." ”

After everyone greeted each other for a while, Nangong Beidou noticed that the other person who came with Fang Shaobai had not spoken.

"Who is this?"

"Senior Brother Nangong......" Fang Shaobai said with some hesitation after looking back at the man.

The man in black looked up, revealing a fairly handsome face.

I only heard him himself say: "In Xia Xuanying, concretely...... Please take a step to speak. ”
