87. My apprentice grows up (10)
It was even worse than expected, in the west of Qinluan Mountain, most of the trees were dry, and the animal's crazy state showed no sign of improving at all, and even a few fierce beasts pounced on it.
"Click!" A tree made a cracking sound, and everyone thought that another beast had appeared, and everyone stared vigilantly at the source of the sound.
"Who? Come out. Xia Qian shouted.
A familiar figure came out from behind the tree, "Senior Sister Tao Zhi!" Someone in the team recognized her.
Tao Zhi is considered a celebrity in the door, since the end of the competition, her battle with Xia Qian has spread all over the cultivation world, I thought she would lose her qualification to cultivate, seeing her current cultivation, in a short period of time, she actually married again, and the head of the door must have given her a lot of blood and re-laid her foundation.
She happened to appear here, the purpose must be impure, I don't know what kind of medicine she sells in her gourd.
"Senior Sister Tao Zhi is here to help us?" A very naΓ―ve little junior sister asked, one more master with a high realm, the more chances they have to survive, I heard that the team sent out to search for the first time by the head of the sect did not survive a lifetime, and they were named and searched this time, and their hearts trembled.
Tao Zhi pretended to cough twice and replied, "Exactly." Hearing her say these two words, the people in the group cheered happily, not paying much attention to why she was so alone.
"Please also ask Senior Xia to take care of me." When passing by Xia Qian, Tao Zhi whispered in her ear.
Xia Qian chuckled and followed a group of high-spirited friends into the depths.
The lifeless forest, the deeper it goes, the shadows of the animals are not seen, I don't know where they have gone, a gust of wind blows, there is a faint smell of blood in the air, mixed with the smell of women's rouge gouache, if you don't smell it, it is really difficult to find.
"Everyone, be careful, there is danger ahead." Xia Qian reminded in time, as soon as the words came out, the bodies of the several junior disciples who took the lead in front suddenly froze for a few seconds, swallowed their saliva, and looked back at her, "Senior"
"Cultivate above the period of parescens, come with me, and the rest of the people will wait here." Xia Qian took out a few pieces of rune paper and threw them into the air, the rune paper was fixed in mid-air, and a golden light shrouded them and surrounded them in a semicircle.
Everyone, look at me, I look at you, the golden dome doesn't seem to give them much security, rather than stay here, it's better to go along. They discussed each other and decided to go together.
"Okay, everyone be careful."
Unexpectedly, the trees in the depths did not dry up, the branches and leaves were luxuriant, and the black pressure was oppressive, and the sky today was suddenly not beautiful, and a few dark clouds floated, and the forest that was originally dark enough became even darker.
"It's foggy, be careful not to get separated." Xia Qian picked up a piece of rune paper and silently recited a mantra, and a firelight came out of the rune paper, illuminating the front, but the fog was very thick, and he could only see things within a radius of a few meters.
No one responded.
Oops! Xia Qian's first reaction was to look back, there was no one beside him, I don't know when they were lost, in this foggy forest, it was full of danger at all times.
She hurriedly closed her eyes, opened her divine sense to scan the surrounding situation, and was shocked to find that this fog was strange, interfering with her spirit, and she could detect a distance of about 100 meters, and the owner of this fog was probably much higher than her, and they were in danger!
She pulled out a flare from her storage ring, and just as she was about to light it, a black shadow sprang at her.
Xia Qian dodged to dodge, but the signal flare was not successfully launched, and he hit a tree and fell down.
"Tao Zhi? What do you want? "I came to trouble her three times and twice, didn't kill her last time, was it too light, in the last life, she was also so deliberately looking for fault, the original owner couldn't help but fight with her, but she made a big fuss, and was looked down upon, what I don't understand is that the original owner did something to make her hold a grudge, from the first introductory trial to the present, Xia Qian dared to pack tickets, how far away she could be, but she was sticking all day long. As for the male cultivator Feng Juechen, he confessed to her in private during the competition, but she also refused.
"I want your life!" Tao Zhi held a short sword in her hand, slashed through a sword light, and in the mist, her figure loomed. However, Xia Qian's divine sense swept away, her figure could not be hidden, hiding there, and seeing clearly what moves she used.
"What kind of grudge do I have with you?" Xia Qian really couldn't laugh and cry and took her move, for her, Tao Zhi's cultivation was not enough to see at all, it was too weak.
After several attacks, Tao Zhi also saw that the difference in cultivation between the two was too far, so she didn't give up and attacked in turn with various magic weapons, and kept shouting in her mouth to kill her, kill her.
"I really don't have time to play with you." Xia Qian saw that she couldn't ask a reason, and shouted left and right to kill her, her eyebrows frowned, so she picked up the sword and cut the weapon in her hand into two pieces, rolled in the air a few times, and β‘β‘ the dirt.
Tao Zhi jumped back, wanting to take out some magic weapon again, but Xia Qian would not give her this chance, and stepped forward with a sword, the body of the white sword was half exposed, and pierced into the trees behind her, only a centimeter away from her neck, "Say, what is your purpose?" β
"Hehehe-" Tao Zhi laughed to herself, and mocked: "How can a proud person like you understand the feelings of mortals, how much effort did I put in to catch up with you to achieve today's achievements, but, why, no matter how hard I try, I can't catch up with your footsteps, is this the destiny of heaven?" You will always be a genius on high, am I just a mortal under the quagmire, looking at your back and lamenting my bleak life? β
In the end, Tao Zhi was almost hysterical and yelled at Xia Qian, completely venting her anger at her personal feelings.
"You have worked very hard, the Seven Spirit Roots can be cultivated to this day, what are you dissatisfied with?"
"You don't understand!" Tao Zhi was not afraid of the sword resting on her neck at all, she leaned forward and said indignantly: "If it weren't for you, my life would be more perfect." β
"Jokes." Xia Qian rolled his eyes in his heart, "My life can't be ruined because you can't get used to it, you can go, so you can do it yourself." She withdrew her sword and turned to look for the other disciples.
Behind her back, Tao Zhi smiled helplessly, "It would be nice if this was really the case, but your light will always cover me, and only one of us can survive." β
Xia Qian, who had just taken a few steps, suddenly couldn't move, her hands were bound, and when she looked down, she saw that it was a bundle of fairy ropes, and a row of black lines was suddenly drawn on her forehead.
"Lying down-" Xia Qian was kicked to the ground by Tao Zhi, eating a mouthful of mud, seeing her deflated, Tao Zhi raised her head proudly, stepped on her with her foot a few times, and condescendingly looked at Xia Qian's faint gaze, as if watching a madman perform, which made Tao Zhi angry: "Now you are crazy, where did your arrogant attitude go just now?!" Hahaha, it's not still planted in my hands. β
"And then?" Unable to use any mana, the immortal rope was tightly tied, Xia Qian moved his fingers helplessly, and moved carefully to his waist.
"Then, then it's going to slowly toss you to death!" Tao Zhi half-squatted, stretched out her left hand and pinched Xia Qian's chin vigorously, took a knife in her right hand and made a few strokes in front of her eyes, and smiled gloomily: "You say, if I cut a few knives on your face, will anyone like you?" β
"Probably not." Xia Qian took her words, "But I don't think you just want to scratch my face and deal with me so hard. β
"That's right, seeing that you asked sincerely, I'll tell you the truth of the matter, don't be too surprised." Tao Zhi played with the saber in her hand for a while, telling her bizarre experience one by one.
The truth of the matter is that Tao Zhi turned out to be reborn.
In the previous life, the original owner was a single-line wood spirit root, and he was the true disciple of the master, and Tao Zhi was the seven spirit roots, waste materials in the real sense, hard work, after all, he was still an outsider disciple, she admired a male cultivator in the door Feng has been in the dust for a long time, but there are too many female cultivators around him, she can't get close, thanks to his dislike of those female cultivators, so she can relax a little, and by a coincidence, she obtained the cultivation cheats about the seven spirit roots, and finally began to cultivate, but she started too late, she missed the best time to cultivate, Even if you practice, you won't be able to achieve any climate. At this moment, Feng Juechen and the original owner announced their double cultivation, and the two fell in love and tied the knot, which became a good story in the cultivation world. Tao Zhi watched them enter the pair in pairs, and they were extremely affectionate.
She was unwilling and tried to create all kinds of accidents to separate their husband and wife's feelings, but as a result, they were stronger than Jin, and the other party that they believed in each other was not broken up by her conspiracy and tricks, but Tao Zhi left clues in many actions, so that they found out, after reporting to the master, Tao Zhi expelled from the division, deprived of the fairy bones, and exiled outside.
Tao Zhi has hatred in her heart, she is ruthless why she is the Seven Spirit Root, why she can't get what she wants after working so hard, seeing the original owner, the natural aura envelops her, everything goes well, and she is still with such a good man, and she can't get over it more and more in her heart, and gradually enters the demon path. After becoming a demon, she found that the speed of cultivating demons was faster than cultivating immortals, only needed blood, the life of monks, and her level would rise slowly.
