After the dragon's groan, the entire cave instantly returned to peace.

The demon beasts on the ground were still stiff, and they didn't seem to be able to move for half a minute, and they didn't know why. Su Xian looked at the scene in front of him in a daze, and couldn't help but fall on Shu Wuzhi's body. Shu Wuzhi had already put the long sword in his hand back into the sheath at this time, and under Su Xian's gaze, he lowered his head and picked up the wine jug that fell on the ground, and then turned back to Su Xian and sighed: "It's successful." ”

Although he said that it was good news, but the look on his face was not even half happy, Su Xian knew what he was thinking in his heart, and he didn't speak again for a while.

She was anxious to go out to find Chu Qingjiu, but the power she had just used still needed to give an explanation to Shu Wuzhi.

In the midst of the silence, Shu Wuzhi walked towards Su Xian, but stopped halfway through, frowned and pointed to the red flame under Su Xian's feet and said, "Can this thing make them go out, I don't dare to touch the soul fire." ”

The blood in Su Xian's eyes faded, his pupils regained the dark of the past, and the soul fire around him disappeared with this movement, and the stone room suddenly became cold again.

As the soul fire faded, Su Xian's body shook slightly, the blood on her face faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she was about to fall to the ground if she couldn't support it.

Shu Wuzhi wanted to help her, but she shook her head and said in a low voice: "It's okay, it'll be fine in a while." ”

"Your cultivation?" Shu looked at her suspiciously, just now when she helped him send Chu Qingjiu away, her cultivation has repeatedly broken through, and she already has the strength of the Xuanyuan Realm, but at this moment, the matter has passed, and the majestic spiritual power on Su Xian's body has faded, at this time, Shu Wuzhi tried again, but found that her body was empty, as if she was an ordinary person who had never cultivated.

Thinking that when Su Xian first came to the Empty Cicada Sect in the past, he also had no cultivation, but then for some reason he suddenly had cultivation again, Shu Wuzhi quickly reacted and asked: "When you came to the Empty Cicada Sect, it was because you used this trick that you temporarily lost your cultivation?" ”

"Hmm." Su Xian had no intention of concealing it, Shu Wuzhi helped her again and again, she didn't want to hide it anymore, after the incident of Yaolan, she also understood that it was better to conceal it than to make it clear that it was better to conceal it, anyway, she had never made any decisions that were harmful to the Empty Cicada Sect from beginning to end.

If Shu Wuzhi couldn't accept her identity, she would have to leave the Empty Cicada Sect and never let Shu Wuzhi be embarrassed.

Shu Wuzhi's expression did not change, and Su Xian didn't know what kind of thoughts he had, so he could only hear him say: "Go find Chu Qingjiu first, that guy is out of the abyss of the seven seas, and he should still be waiting outside." ”

It seems that it is also because he knows that Su Xian's heart is now all hanging on Chu Qingjiu's body, Shu Wuzhi did not let Su Xian explain immediately, but said such a sentence. Su Xian heard what he said, and immediately nodded, she was now temporarily losing her cultivation, with a faint look of exhaustion in her eyes, but she didn't hesitate for a moment, and immediately took the puppet Xiao Chu, turned around and walked towards the outside of the cave.

Shu Wuzhi followed behind Su Xian, his steps were not fast, but he easily followed Su Xian's pace, he sighed in a low voice, and a slight self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips.

The two quickly arrived outside the cave, and Shu Wuzhi quickly judged the direction where Chu Qingjiu was based on Fang Cai's spell, and chased Su Xian all the way. Chu Qingjiu's movement was very great, Su Xian and the others chased for a long time and did not find a trace, Su Xian had a great loss, and lost his cultivation, this rush was already a few reluctances, but Shu Wuzhi asked her to rest for a while before chasing, but she refused.

She kept chasing after her all the way, her already not very good complexion looked worse at this time, and she was still a little shaky when she walked, Shu Wuzhi had to help her by the side, and the two of them didn't know how long they walked, and finally saw a few clusters of faint white flames that were still burning not far ahead.

It was still noon, and out of the abyss of the seven seas was a forest of small sizes, half of which was full of dead trees, and the sun was sprinkled from between the dead branches and leaves, and the shadows crisscrossed the ground, but there was not much shadow, only a few slightly larger trees would be shady underneath.

Those clusters of white flames burned next to a giant tree, and Su Xian and the others pushed aside the branches, detoured to the back of the tree, and saw Chu Qingjiu.

Chu Qingjiu still had a cluster of white flames on his fingertips, swaying slightly in the wind, he seemed to be bowing his head and playing with the white flames boringly, seeing Su Xian's arrival, he immediately grabbed the white flame into his palm, and when he raised his eyes, a pair of clear eyes clearly reflected Su Xian's shadow.

After many years, Su Xian always thought that Chu Qingjiu was the best-looking person she had ever seen, she couldn't help but stare at those eyes, and said in the gentlest voice: "You're back." ”

Chu Qingjiu was still a little hesitant, but after hearing Su Xian's words, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, leaned on the trunk behind him, raised his eyebrows and said, "Well, I'm back." ”

His words are like many years ago in the Xuanyue Sect, Su Xian played a song "Acacia", and in the sound of the flute, he rolled in through the window, his clothes fluttered, and his eyebrows were picturesque. Su Xian put down the flute and said, "You're here", and then Chu responded with a light smile.

Even the languid tone and the slightly raised tail note are the same.

However, soon, Chu Qingjiu frowned, he took a step forward, as if he wanted to get closer, but he shrank back after just one step, and only whispered: "You have a bad face." ”

"It's okay, I'll be fine when I see you." Su Xian shook his head and said.

Chu Qingjiu beckoned to her, "Come here." ”

Before Su Xian moved, Chu Qingjiu raised his eyebrows and glanced at the sun in the sky, and whispered, "I can't go over." "I don't know why, in the past, Xiao Chu's remnant soul was able to be unharmed in the sun, but Chu Qingjiu after the recovery couldn't.

Su Xian approached Chu Qingjiu as she said, Chu Qingjiu lowered his eyes and looked at her, and said in a deep voice: "Since I came out of that cave just now, I have been staying here, I am thinking about some things, thinking a lot. ”

"Huh?" Su Xian looked up at her, the tails of his eyes were slightly raised, although he didn't speak, but his eyes were clearly a little nervous.

This is Su Xian, who Shu Wuzhi is not familiar with, and the Su Xian he knows is calm and decisive, where would he show such a cramped look. But this is Su Xian, who Chu Qingjiu is familiar with, seems to be silent, but there are always some thoughts in his heart that others can't say.

This is also why Chu Qingjiu had already seen that Su Xian was a member of the Xuanyue Sect, but he still couldn't help but provoke her.

At that time, he felt that even if a little girl like Su Xian really did something evil, it was just a few vases. At that time, Su Xian was cautious when he even looked at him more, and after reading it, he blushed for a while, don't look over and think that no one will find out.

Thinking of this, Chu Qingjiu couldn't help but bend his eyebrows and laugh.

Su Xian was waiting for Chu Qingjiu to speak, but when she saw the other party suddenly smile, she was stunned and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" ”

"Well, it's nothing." Chu Qingjiu seemed to have changed his mind, and said this casually, seeing that Su Xian's eyes dimmed, he immediately continued, "I'm a lonely ghost now, I can't do anything, since you rescued me, I can only follow you." ”

Su Xian's eyes lit up, "I won't leave you behind what I do." ”

"It's too late for you to leave me now, I'll probably show you what it means to be ghostly." Speaking of this, Chu Qingjiu paused, thinking that his current appearance could indeed be regarded as a real "ghost".

Su Xian shook his head and said seriously: "You won't always be like this." ”

Chu Qingjiu didn't say much, he had already thought about it clearly, since he had escaped, he was not qualified to escape anymore, Su Xian had done so much for him, he couldn't just ignore anything.

Now that he has come out and can stand with Su Xian again, things will always be better, not worse.

But until then—

Chu Qingjiu raised his eyebrows and said, "You can rest for a while first." Su Xian had spent a lot of effort in order to get him out before, but now she has lost her cultivation again, and she has long been crumbling, even if she has been supporting herself, Chu Qingjiu can't stand it anymore.

Su Xian was not reluctant, glanced at Shu Wuzhi, and then obediently sat down next to Chu Qingjiu against the tree. Shu Wuzhi only said that it may be a little difficult to get out of this forest today, so it is better to rest here for a while, and then set off for Tiangang Alliance tomorrow. Su Xian nodded in agreement, and Shu Wuzhi saw that he was the only person who could move here, so he went to find something somewhere else to fill his stomach very interestingly.

After Shu Wuzhi left, Su Xian held on for a while, but still didn't hold it back and fell asleep.

Chu Qingjiu stood beside Su Xian and guarded her, the breeze blew the dead branches and made an ugly rustling sound, Chu Qingjiu twisted his eyebrows to look at the branches, afraid that the sound would wake up the people around him.

The forest was quiet, Chu Qingjiu stood for a while and sat down next to Su Xian, staring at the person beside him, I don't know how long it took before I heard the sound of footsteps not far away, Shu Wuzhi walked back from the other side of the forest, holding a few green and yellow fruits in his hand, no matter how they looked delicious.

Chu Qingjiu couldn't help but whispered, "Can you eat this thing?" ”

"You can't eat again." Shu is ignorant and thinks he has a lot to do.

"I said it for Ah Xian."

"Then you can find food for him." Shu Wuzhi ran and broke his leg to finally find such a little fruit, but he didn't expect to be disgusted by this little ghost.

Chu Qingjiu couldn't find something to eat for Su Xian even if he was disgusted, he stood up and went to Shu Wuzhi's side, making sure that his voice would not wake Su Xian, so he said, "Master, where are you going to go next?" Back to the empty cicada faction? ”

Shu Wuzhi said funny: "Don't call me old man?" ”

Chu Qingjiu paused and glanced at him: "You can also hear me call the old man if you want to." ”

"You're an old man." Shu Wuzhi said casually, took a bite of the fruit he brought back, but he didn't expect that as soon as he took a bite, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly spit out the flesh and found the wine pot on his waist to rinse his mouth.

Chu Qingjiu gloated: "I said earlier that this thing is unpalatable." ”

Shu Wuzhi frowned, holding the wine jug and looking up without pouring out a drop of wine, he froze for a moment, and his face became more serious: "For you kid, my wine has been burned, and you still have the heart to say cool words." ”

"Then quit drinking." Chu Qingjiu said jokingly.

Shu Wuzhi put the flask at his side and said jokingly, "If you want to see me go crazy and blast the trees around me into the sky, I can quit drinking." ”

He was talking about deliberately scaring Chu Qingjiu, but he didn't expect the guy to think about it and really put his cheeks up and said, "I want to see it." ”

Shu Wuzhi: "......"

Chu Qingjiu saw Shu Wuzhi stand up, and couldn't help laughing: "Of course I want to see such a lively scene." Although he said this, his expression still became serious, and he stopped Shu Wuzhi, who was about to leave, "If I were you, I wouldn't choose to drink and forget, you really don't want to know what happened in the past?" ”

Shu Wuzhi didn't expect Chu Qingjiu to know so much, he knew that Chu Qingjiu had already fused the memory of the light ball and understood what had happened outside in the past year, but he didn't expect Chu Qingjiu to know more than he thought. Shu Wuzhi sighed lightly, really stopped, looked back at Chu Qingjiu and said, "Since it's not a good thing, what about forgetting it?" ”

"You call it escaping." Chu Qingjiu has a pretentious way.

Shu Wuzhi looked at him with a smile, "Oh." "I didn't know who was running away before, but now this man ran over and taught him a lesson.

Chu Qingjiu saw the meaning in his eyes, and said angrily: "One thing is one thing, if I were you, I would quit drinking and go to the person who is sorry for you, and if you are crazy, I will send it to her, none of you will take this step, I am afraid that this matter will not be solved in a lifetime." ”

Shu Wuzhi listened to his words and hesitated: "She? ”

Chu Qingjiu knew that he didn't remember, but he felt that his words were in vain, and waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you will remember it when you quit drinking." ”

"Unfortunately, now is not the time to settle this matter." Shu Wuzhi curled the corners of his lips, shook his head and said, "I promised Zhong Xuan of the Tiangang Alliance to bring Su Xian over within half a month." ”

Hearing this, Chu Qingjiu couldn't help but say, "What's wrong?" ”

Shu Wuzhi remembered that Chu Qingjiu didn't know about it, so he told Chu Qingjiu about the causes and consequences of what happened in the Tiangang Alliance and the Empty Cicada Sect before, and then said: "It's not a trivial matter that the leader of the Tiangang Alliance was seriously injured, but Su Xian must come to save you first, so this matter has been delayed so far." ”

After Chu Qingjiu heard Shu Wuzhi's words, his expression was so good that he couldn't see anything, he raised his eyes towards Shu Wuzhi and saw: "The leader of the Tiangang Alliance has an accident, who is now in charge of the affairs of the right path in the world?" ”

"It should be the three hall masters of the Tiangang Alliance."

Chu Qingjiu held his cheeks as if he was thoughtful, and Shu Wuzhi said: "You are the young master of the Chu family, you should have some contact with the Tiangang League, this time we go to the Tiangang League, you may be able to help." ”

Chu Qingjiu shook his head, "I was arrested by the Xuanyue Sect at the age of sixteen, and I don't know what happened later, I am only familiar with Uncle Ye, I have never even heard the name of this new alliance leader, I'm afraid I won't be able to help much." When he said this, he was a little worried, "Ah Xian is now temporarily out of cultivation, and those people don't know if their brains are good or not, if they accidentally arrest Ah Xian as a murderer, we are afraid that we will not even be able to run, and this trip may not be so easy to go." ”

"The Tiangang League is not so indiscriminate, even if something really happens, I, as a master, will not sit idly by." When Shu Wuzhi said this, he didn't say much, turned around and walked towards the other part of the forest. Chu Qingjiu stopped him and said, "What are you doing?" ”

"Look for something to eat, the taste of that fruit just now is too pungent, I'm afraid I won't eat the second one."

Chu Qingjiu smiled and raised his hand in the direction where Shu Wuzhi left. At this time, the sky had already darkened, and the sunlight was all hidden on the other side of the mountain, so Chu Qingjiu was able to leave the shadow of the branches and walk to the other side.

However, he had only walked a few steps when Su Xian's voice came from behind him: "Where are you going?" ”

Chu Qingjiu turned around to look, Su Xian didn't know when he had woken up, still holding his knees, still in a sleeping position, but his eyes were clear for a while, and he didn't know when he woke up. Chu Qingjiu's expression was soft, and he pointed behind him: "Is it good-looking?" ”

Su Xian followed Chu Qingjiu's line of sight, at this time, the afterglow of the sunset was gone, the sky was glowing with a beautiful blue, clear and clean, and the stars were dotted in between, and just above that, a crescent moon had risen.

Su Xian was stunned and said in a low voice: "It's good-looking." ”

"I haven't seen it in a long time." Chu Qingjiu said with a smile, and seeing Su Xian's expression slightly gloomy, he said again, "It's not that I haven't seen it, I still have memories of when I was a ball." He didn't go any further, only walked back to Su Xian and sat down, "Do me a favor." ”

"What?"

Chu Qingjiu pointed not far away, where Xiao Chu was standing quietly, his long hair hanging down at his side, this way was in a hurry, the black hair was already messy, and his clothes were dirty. Su Xian's complexion changed, and he stopped talking, Chu Qingjiu quipped: "My body has been in the sun here for a long time." ”

Su Xian: "......"

Chu Qingjiu continued: "During the time you left, my body has been staying in the cave, and I can't let it move on its own, and I haven't even taken a bath for so many days, or you let him wash it by himself." ”

Su Xian was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "I'm not familiar with this forest, bear with it, and then wash it when we get to the town, I'll help you comb your hair first." She said and stood up. After resting for a long time before, although she has not returned to the cultivation realm at this time, her actions are no longer a problem. She beckoned the puppet Xiao Chu to come and sit down, then untied his long hair, took out a wooden comb and combed it carefully.

Chu Qingjiu's appearance is outstanding, even in such a wolf situation, people can't take their eyes off it. The puppet's eyebrows were always lowered, his eyelashes were long and curly, and his long black hair hung down on his cheeks, which made him look like jade and flawless.

Although he knew that the puppet's body was not feeling, Su Xian's movements were still very light, and he was careful every time he combed it, as if he was afraid of hurting him. Su Xian combed his body's hair, Chu Qingjiu sat next to him with his cheeks and looked at Su Xian, seeing that the corners of his lips were slightly upturned, he couldn't help but lower his voice and said, "In this year, you also combed my hair like this?" ”

Su Xian's hand movements did not stop, and he lowered his eyes and said, "You should have a memory." "The memory of the light ball is also the memory of Chu Qingjiu.

Chu Qingjiu pretended to hold his forehead, tilted his head and looked at her for a moment: "I don't remember, I want to listen to you." ”

"yes, that's how I comb your hair." Seeing him like this, Su Xian simply laughed, and went on to say, "You won't act on your own without my order, so even washing your face and bathing is what I personally washed for you, I did so much for you, do you want to repay me well?" ”

Chu Qingjiu was stunned, and his eyes widened.

Su Xian looked back and smiled at him.

Chu Qingjiu also thought that Su Xian was the little girl who had no experience in the Xuanyue Sect in the past, and only then did he realize that he had been molested instead of being molested. Su Xian said that there was naturally no such thing, Su Xian gave an order to let him wash himself for this kind of thing, and the most he did on weekdays was to wipe his hands and face for the puppet, where did he do this kind of thing. However, Su Xian said seriously at this time, as if this was really the case.

After Chu Qingjiu reacted, he immediately made a look of great embarrassment and said, "I have already promised you my body, how can I repay it now?" ”

"I'm going to tell you." Su Xian had already combed the puppet's hair at this time, she turned Xiao Chu around, looked at it for a while, and then took back the wooden comb with satisfaction.

Chu Qingjiu said: "What are you thinking?" ”

"Think about what you said earlier." Su Xian said truthfully.

Chu Qingjiu said curiously: "When did you say that?" Which sentence? ”

"That was said when you were in the cave and your soul was about to become one."

That sentence was said by the ball of light, and Chu Qingjiu reacted after a while, and his face changed slightly: "Don't think about it, I don't remember that meaty thing." ”

"But I remember everything you said."

Chu Qingjiu was heartbroken: "Ah Xian, did you learn from the old man who was Shu Wuzhi?" ”

"Who are you talking about?" Shu Wuzhi happened to come over with a hare, and when he heard Chu Qingjiu's voice, he roared without thinking, Chu Qingjiu and Su Xian looked at each other and smiled, and the two of them shook their heads together.

The three of them spent the night in the forest, Shu Wuzhi roasted and ate the rabbit he caught, Chu Qingjiu saw that his eyes were straight but he couldn't eat it, Shu Wuzhi laughed at him for a while, Chu Qingjiu glared at him angrily, and finally pestered Su Xian to feed his puppet body and ate a few bites, although he couldn't taste it, it was counted as if he ate it.

Because Shu Wuzhi's wine was gone, if he really had a seizure on the road, he was afraid that more things would happen, and the three of them didn't dare to delay too long on the road, so they set off to find a nearby town before dawn the next morning, filled the wine, and rushed all the way to the Tiangang League.

Finally, within the half-moon period, Shu Wuzhi rushed to the Tiangang Alliance with Su Xian.

And no one expected that it would be Mu Shuliang, the senior brother of the Empty Cicada Sect, who greeted them at the gate of the Tiangang Alliance.
