40. My apprentice grows up (5)

This should be the legendary Sleeping Beauty, Xia Qian silently spit out a bad sentence in her heart, there are no wonders in the world, and there is really such a thing as a sleeping beauty, but when she saw the beautiful Sleeping Beauty that the city lord kept saying, she almost couldn't help laughing.

The body is extremely huge, the waist fat can't be seen at all, and the face that seems to have been slapped hundreds of times with edema, this picture is too beautiful to see.

But thinking about the heartbroken appearance of the city lord, no one dared to say that his daughter was not in front of him, even Qin Shiqi, who had always loved to talk, obediently shut up and stood aside.

Si Qinghan was the first to take her pulse, and the pulse was no different from ordinary people, which was also where other doctors didn't see anything wrong. He sat concentrating and injected a trace of true qi into her body, wanting to see if there was anything strange, but unexpectedly, her body was like a bottomless pit, wanting to suck away all Si Qinghan's mana. He sensed something was wrong, and when he tried to retreat, he was firmly locked by it and could not move.

"Si Qinghan, what's wrong?" Mu Jianchen saw that his face was pale, sweating constantly, and his feet were about to take a step forward. Faster than him, Xia Qian used a white jade fan to cut off the connection between the two, and immediately held the weak Si Qinghan with one hand, and slowly poured into her arms, and suddenly she frowned, took out a bottle from the space ring, fed a pill, and then slapped the city lord's daughter heavily.

The city lord's daughter vomited out a mouthful of blood, and a strange four-legged bug crawled out of the blood, trying to escape from here. Xia Qian, who was quick with his eyes, waved again and cut it off. The worm was suddenly torn apart, splattering a pile of blood all around, and it seemed that it had sucked a lot of blood from her body.

"No wonder the city lord's daughter is so fat and swollen, it turns out that this insect is doing the trick." Qin Shiqi spoke out in time and applauded Xia Qian's palm just now.

"Benefactor, what a benefactor!" The city lord knelt down excitedly, kowtowed and saluted, "Thank you to the benefactor for saving the little girl's life, great kindness, toothless and unforgettable." ”

"You're welcome, it's just a gesture, please hurry up." Xia Qian helped Si Qinghan, raised his left hand and motioned to him, asking an old man to kneel and kowtow to her, which was really unbearable.

The city lord immediately ordered his subordinates to give them a few good rooms to rest, and the prepared tea and wine were well entertained, but Xia Qian refused and returned to the room with Si Qinghan in his arms. Because Si Qinghan spent a lot of energy to save his daughter and fainted, it looked like this in front of others, but the actual situation was not so simple.

Mu Jianchen also noticed something wrong with him, followed Xia Qian all the way into the house, endured it for a long time along the way, and after avoiding people and waiting, he asked, "Brother Xia, how is he doing?" "In order not to worry the city lord, Xia Qian said that there was too much mana, which is true, but why is it okay for mortals to receive so much mana, the key is the problem of the worm.

"Look here," Xia Qian pulled open the placket on Si Qinghan's chest, revealing the strong muscles inside, and a strange mark was imprinted on his left chest. Mu Jianchen raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Isn't this the sign of the Seven Days?" ”

"Exactly, that worm is a medium, staying on the city lord's daughter, and those who come into contact with her body will more or less be sucked away from some essence, but mortal essence is limited, this time it was Si Qinghan who met her, and his cultivation is undoubtedly a big meal for the insect, so he will leave this mark on him." Xia Qian sighed, the situation was critical just now, although she cut it off in time, she was still branded. In this way, after seven days, Si Qinghan's cultivation will be sucked clean by the owner of this mark and die. There is only one solution, the bell unlocker still needs to tie the bell man, if the monster refuses to unlock this mark, it can only be, kill him.

"In the next few days, you take care of him, and I'll go back." Xia Qian took a quilt and covered him carefully, as if he had done it more than a hundred times, Mu Jianchen had a suspicious expression, the relationship between the two of them was really incredible. According to his observations along the way, Xia Qian seems to have come to Si Qinghan, and his cultivation is not just as low as it seems, what is his origin?

And Xia Qian, who was flying in the sky, didn't know what Mu Jianchen's mind was thinking, and following the breath left by the insect just now, she probably guessed where the insect owner was hiding.

After a while, Xia Qian stopped above a dense forest, sensed that the breath was not far from here, and immediately swept his senses, distinguishing the source of the breath from the air one by one.

"There!" Xia Qian's figure flashed, flew into the depths of the forest, and stopped less than a hundred meters from the lake, and then the jade fan waved, and a tree in front of him broke off.

"Who dares to be so presumptuous?" The calm surface of the lake suddenly gurgled and bubbled, more and more, like boiling water, Xia Qian snorted coldly, and seemed to walk a few steps, but in the blink of an eye, he came to the lake.

Under her nose, the water bubbles on the surface of the lake tumbled for a while, and then a column of water erupted from it, creating an astonishing momentum, but the deity inside was a person made of water, crystal clear. Xia Qian was also taken aback, the monster in front of him seemed to be a cute Zhengtai, and it was still a water attribute. As long as he cultivates well in the lake, in time, he will definitely cultivate to become an immortal, how could he suddenly suck the essence of mortals and do such a despicable thing, it will not be of much use to his cultivation.

The two looked at each other, and the other party was not a reckless person, and he didn't start a fight at the beginning, and kept looking at Xia Qian with those crystal clear eyes. She was uncomfortable to be looked at by him, how to say, his gaze was too transparent, so clear that it was hard to imagine that he would be a monster who would do such a thing.

She shook the jade fan and directly clarified the meaning, "The Seven Days of Death is your mark, please unravel it." ”

"Hmph, since you know that I ordered it, it will definitely not be unraveled."

"The tone is not small," Xia Qian sighed, "Then I can only kill you." As soon as the words fell, the figure suddenly disappeared in place, and the next second quietly appeared behind him, and the jade fan pointed straight at his throat.

The other party is not an idle person, laughed twice, at the moment when Xia Qian waved the jade fan, his whole body was made of water, and he turned into water droplets and scattered, and then not far from her, he re-converged, and became a cute Zhengtai again.

Xia Qian sighed and looked at the scene in front of him in surprise. The other party raised his chin proudly, "What's the matter, I'm afraid, you can't hurt me." That man's aura is all mine. ”

"Heh-" Xia Qian glanced at him, then at the calm water, chuckled, and shook the white jade fan gracefully.

"What are you laughing at, I can still laugh if I can't beat it?"

"I'm laughing at you for being naΓ―ve." Xia Qian blinked, the jade fan in his hand was closed, raised high, and seemed to knock lightly under the lake, and a whirlpool gradually appeared from the center of the bottom of the lake, getting bigger and bigger.

The other party immediately turned β–‘β–‘ face and shouted, "What are you doing?!" With a wave of his hand, the water droplets around him condensed together, turning into thousands of sharp swords and flying towards Xia Qian.

"Looks like I guessed right." On the side of Xia Qian's figure, he dodged a few water swords, raised the jade fan in his hand, and waved it a few times in a row, counterattacking unceremoniously, the air fluctuated for a while, and the invisible wind turned into a sharp wind blade to scatter his water sword one by one.

"Damn, don't be too complacent." The other party was obviously angry, and when he looked down, the whirlpool was so big that it almost swallowed the surface of the lake, and his hands quickly sealed, and the scattered water droplets quickly condensed into one, and attacked her again.

Xia Qian coped with it with ease, she did this, it was just to delay time, Dingqing saw that the bottom of the lake had been completely exposed, and there was a shining green stone at the bottom, which must be the best.

"Damn!" Xiao Zhengtai also saw that the treasure under the lake was discovered by Xia Qian, and immediately gave up the fight, and quickly pounced to hold his baby. Xia Qian definitely wouldn't let him be so smooth, the corners of his mouth hooked, the white jade fan opened, and the flow of air accelerated rapidly, converging into several strong wind currents, and then evolved into a small tornado, scattered around him, and kept scattering his body.

Even after such a strong attack, Xiao Zhengtai still flew down without giving up, quickly reciting the incantation and trying to maintain his figure.

"It's really desperate." Xia Qian shook his head, closed the jade fan, and the surrounding tornado suddenly dispersed, Xiao Zhengtai paused, and when he looked back and saw Xia Qian floating in the air, he couldn't help but pout, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"It's nothing, I don't want to bully children." Xia Qian replied lazily, and then the figure disappeared into the air, suddenly appearing at the bottom of the lake, holding a stone with a unique shape in his hand, and dangling it in front of Xiao Zhengtai, "Oh, this is what you want." ”

"You, give it back to me." He was obviously tricked by him, but the stone was pinched in his hand, and even his life was in his hands, and he couldn't act rashly, otherwise

"Yes, it's very simple, the seven-day death on his body is solved, and the others are also solved." Xia Qian played with the stone in his hand, looking teasing.

Xiao Zhengtai's eyes were almost spewing fire, if his eyes could kill, Xia Qian didn't know how many times he had died. He lowered his head silently, almost gritting his teeth: "Why, why should I save them when humans don't keep their promises?" ”

"Without me, they would have died long ago!" Xiao Zhengtai raised his head angrily and yelled at Xia Qian.

Listening to his tone, Xiao Zhengtai seems to have a certain connection with this Purple Mulberry City, and there are many secrets hidden in it.
