28. The Lost Pond of the Town of Cultivating Immortals

"Big Brother"

The next morning, Qi Xiu opened his eyes and saw a pair of swarthy pupils, the filaments of the pupils were clearly visible, and the long and curly eyelashes flickered and swept over the wings of his nose.

"You're awake!"

When the owner of the dark eyes saw him open his eyes, he shouted excitedly and jumped up.

Qi Xiu looked at the young man who was jumping happily in front of him with doting eyes, lifted the quilt and slowly got up, leaning on the head of the bed, his complexion improved, and a pale flush appeared on his cheeks.

"Senior brother, are you hungry? I'll bring you a bowl of porridge. ”

Without waiting for Qi Xiu to return, the young man rushed away like a rabbit and disappeared by the door in an instant. After a while, he heard the sound of running, and the young man moved quickly under his feet, looking hurried, but the wooden plate in his hand was as stable as Mount Tai, and the white pottery bowl was white and flawless, not stained with any porridge water.

Qi Xiu watched the young man walk in, and said with a look full of approval:

"Yes, the Floating Phantom has taken it one step further."

Hearing Qi Xiu's approval, the young man smiled so much that his two big eyes were almost invisible, his mouth was crooked, he approached coquettishly, held the bottom of the bowl with one hand, picked up the spoon with the other, scooped up a spoonful of white porridge, put it close to his mouth and exhaled gently, slowly handed it to Qi Xiu's mouth, and opened his mouth slightly to make an "ah" shape:

"Come, big brother, ah."

Qi Xiu listened to Qi Youxuan's appearance of coaxing a child, his face showed a trace of embarrassment, and he said that he wanted to take the spoon in Qi Youxuan's hand and eat it himself: "No need, Xiao Qi, I'll come by myself." ”

But the young man quickly dodged, dragging the bottom of the bowl, and smiled at Qi Xiu to show two tiger teeth, and his eyes were full of cunning:

"No, I'll feed you, you're too weak now."

"Little Seven"

The helpless voice sounded again.

"No, no."

The young man refused to let Qi Xiu eat by himself.

In the end, Qi Xiu had no choice but to nod in compromise.

"Hey, hey"

The boy smirked and immediately ran over again.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he sat back on the edge of the bed, he felt a paralysis somewhere in his body, and his whole body couldn't move for a while, and when he reacted, he found that the bowl in his hand was missing, and the man who was supposed to be waiting for him to feed the porridge honestly leaned on the head of the bed, slowly drinking the thick white porridge with the fragrance of rice.

After he broke through the meridian blockage, the man had already finished the porridge and handed the clean pottery bowl to him with an indifferent face.

"It's been longer than last time to rush away this time, it seems that you've spent all your time on footwork recently, and you've practiced your mind a few times, huh?"

Qi Youxuan was so blocked by Qi Xiu's words that he just wanted to complain was swallowed back into his throat, pursed his lips, and muttered in a low voice: "It's not because of you." ”

"What are you talking about?"

"Nothing"

Seeing the young man's angry appearance, Qi Xiu rubbed his furry head, and obviously felt that the moment his palm touched the young man's hair, the young man's body shook slightly.

The boy immediately disarmed and surrendered.

Holding the wooden plate, he got up and walked towards the door without turning his head.

"I'm going to return the bowl."

Qi Xiu saw the young man's figure slowly disappear outside the door, the gentleness under his eyes disappeared instantly, the cold ice gathered under his eyes, the two fingers that brushed the young man's hair closed and rubbed against each other, and the fine powder disappeared after flashing a glimmer in the air.

"Big Brother"

After a while, four men in white robes appeared in front of him.

The leading green-crowned older man approached Qi Xiu and bowed slightly to him. This person is the second junior brother of Qi Xiu's body, the same sect and the same sect are just different masters, speaking of which, Qi Xiu and the five people who traveled with him this time are not direct brothers, because their master and Qi Xiu's master are not the same person, but he is their senior brother.

Qi Xiu's sect is the Sword Qi Divine Sect, which is among the top three major sects in the Eastern Continent, and the background is not small, there are nine peaks in the Sword Qi Divine Sect, Qi Xiu They are the disciples of the Nine Xuan Peak, and the other eight peaks have only one peak master, but the Nine Xuan Peak is very unique, there are two peak masters. Qi Xiu is the only personal disciple of the Great Peak Lord among the two peak masters. It can be described as a thousand pampering.

After this month's contact, Qi Xiu could see that the older man in front of him was dissatisfied with him, maybe it was due to years of jealousy and envy, or maybe it was just simple hatred, as long as he didn't get in the way, he wouldn't care about the little stumbling behind this person.

"You guys are out" Qi Xiu's tone was flat, and he said a declarative sentence, he could see that the spiritual energy in the bodies of several people was almost exhausted, "Where did you go?"

"Senior brother, something happened."

"What's going on?"

The four of them sat down and began to talk to him about what they had investigated today.

"This morning when we were eating downstairs, we received a distress signal from the same door, which was less than a hundred miles away from us, so we immediately searched for the signal traces to find out. But when we got to the place where the signal was sent, there was no one. ”

The blue-crowned man spoke.

"Where's the signal?"

"In the woods on the western outskirts of this town."

"The woods of the western suburbs?" Qi Xiu frowned slightly.

"Yes, we've searched all over the woods, but there's no trace of them."

Blue Crown didn't continue, and motioned to the yellow-crowned man next to him to continue.

"Later, when my brother and I decided to search separately again, I found one at the waterhole on the north side of the woods."

The yellow-crowned man took out a token from his sleeve, which was engraved with a sharp sword and four small seals of "Sword Qi Divine Sect", which was the identity token of the Sword Qi Divine Sect.

"Whose token is there?"

"We have already passed the book back to the sect, and we don't know it yet."

"Moreover, according to the news, it is not only our sect that has disappeared in this town as immortal cultivators."

"What's the matter with the depletion of aura in your body?"

Qi Xiu looked at the four of them and asked.

The blue-crowned man smiled bitterly: "Before I came back, I was already trying my best to recover, but I didn't expect it to be seen by the senior brother." ”

"What, you want to hide it from me?"

"It's not that we want to deceive Senior Brother, but this aura is not consumed by our fierce fighting, and it is extremely ashamed to talk to Senior Brother."

"Not a fierce battle?"

"Yes, don't hide it from Senior Brother, when we and Second Senior Brother first came out of the woods, we were collectively attacked by an unknown creature, and after being injured, we found that the aura in our bodies was rapidly draining and dissipating."

"Unidentified creatures? What can you see? ”

The four of them shook their heads, their faces embarrassed.

"The creature that attacked us was so fast that we could only vaguely tell it was a petite beast. But we don't see what it looks like. ”

"A magical beast that can make the aura in the human body suddenly lose its body, and its body is ...... petite"

Qi Xiu's mind was racing rapidly, and suddenly he said to them with a solemn face:

"I'll burn the jade slip now, and you will immediately upload it back to the sect."

"Big brother, what's wrong?!"

Qi Xiu's original master is a serious person, and generally with such a solemn face, there must be a heavy discovery, and the situation is not light.

"There is only one petite magical beast that can make the aura in the body of an immortal cultivator suddenly lose its aura, and that is the companion beast of the Blood Corpse King, the Double-Pupiled Bat. This monster has been accompanied by the Blood Corpse King all his life, and where he appears, there must be a Blood Corpse King, who likes to devour the aura the most, and is petite but fast. I'm afraid that the Blood Corpse King is hiding here, and once the Blood Corpse King comes out, a hundred zombies will be raging, so we must find his cave and kill him before the Blood Corpse King awakens. ”

When everyone heard the three words of the Blood Corpse King, their faces also condensed, and the low pressure could attract thunder and lightning.

"It's the Blood Corpse King."

"No wonder I couldn't find the Aoki plant in the woods, it turned out that it had been mutilated a long time ago."

Everyone knows that the Blood Corpse King is extremely disgusted with the Aoki Plant, and where the Aoki Plant is, he will transfer or destroy the Aoki Plant.

Although there are relatively few clues, there is at least a direction for everyone to investigate.

"Then Senior Brother, how do we act?"

Qi Xiu handed the written jade slip to Lan Guan and thought about it:

"The double-pupiled bat is actually hunting during the day, which means that xiàn can't come out in the blood corpse king, and the night is the time when the blood qi is the thickest. Tonight, let's go to the woods in the western suburbs and see if we can find the hiding place of the Blood Corpse King. ”

The second senior brother Liu Taineng didn't seem to agree.

"Changzhi, your injuries have not healed, let's investigate tonight, and you can recuperate first."

Qi Xiu shook his head,

"It's okay, my injuries don't matter."

"But ......"

"I'll go to investigate faster, and I can't delay it too long, it's too late."

Qi Xiu insisted like this, and several others could only acquiesce.
