Chapter 311: The sequelae of going mad

cpa300_4; The cold wind howled at night, blowing Xi Muyan's hair flying, and the clothes on his body were blown up by the wind. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The people in front of him were all wrapped in black like Xi Muyan, and they all wore hats on their heads, and there were no traces at all from their appearances.

And the man who spoke out just now, a pair of eyes like sharp knives, seemed to pierce people's hearts, although the momentum was very good, but in such an environment, it brought people a huge pressure.

Xi Muyan could clearly hear her heartbeat, and the sound seemed to hit the side of her ear drum, making her inexplicably a little nervous.

"How?"

Xi Muyan and Pei Yaqing were close to each other and asked quietly.

Although her cultivation is average, but thanks to her childhood experience, she is very accurate in looking at people, not to mention the dozen or so Jindan monks in the back, just this leader is a mid-Yuan infant cultivation, which is only higher than Pei Yaqing!

"Five or five at most."

Pei Yaqing replied.

Although he is only a cultivator in the early stage of the Yuan Infant, but because he has the Heavenly Soul Fire, his combat power is comparable to that of a mid-Yuan Infant monk, even if he moves his hands, he will not suffer too much.

It's just that in this way, he can't care about Xi Muyan.

And no matter how powerful Xi Muyan is, he can't deal with a dozen or so Jindan monks at the same time.

"You can't fight hard."

After Pei Yaqing observed for a while, he came to a conclusion.

Although he was confident but not arrogant, although many of the sounds were muffled by the howling of the cold wind, he could still feel that there were people watching in the shadows outside of the dozen or so people.

It doesn't matter where these people come from. But obviously, they won't be with them all the way, and if the other party's goal is also that map, then it's okay. It will never be a friend, or even a friend, it can become an enemy.

Xi Muyan sighed secretly in her heart, she was not a reckless person, but she didn't expect to be targeted at all. They were also surrounded by people.

The strength of the team in front of him, even if he robs it openly, I'm afraid he can succeed, not to mention that it was premeditated?

What's worse is that this team of people is just here to intercept themselves, so how many other people are waiting in the shadows?

Unthinkable.

Xi Muyan once again felt that she was stupid, she completely underestimated the attraction of the Immortal Cave Mansion to people!

To be able to dispatch so many Jindan cultivators at any time and above is definitely not small in itself.

"Hmm."

Xi Muyan nodded and agreed with Pei Yaqing's statement, looking at the current situation. It seemed as if she had to make a choice.

Do you force your way through and wait for an opportunity to grab the map, or do you simply give up and wade through the muddy waters? The answer is obvious, she is not a fool, so there is only one choice, the choice of last resort.

"Is that just the map you're targeting?" Xi Muyan looked at the man wearing a hat in front of him and asked coldly.

"Ouch. Don't be nervous. The man in the lead spoke again, with a bit of cynicism in his words, and his voice was still as hoarse, "I said, my task is only to stop you, and if I can, I don't want to do it." ”

said that he didn't want to do it, but the momentum of his whole body was obviously ready to go.

Of course, Xi Muyan won't fully believe his nonsense, but. She could see that the other party's purpose might really be to intercept them, not to intercept them or something. Otherwise, there was no need for them to just surround her and Pei Yaqing and talk nonsense here.

A person who has cultivated to a certain level. Generally, they are on alert anytime and anywhere, and they will not relax their vigilance just because they say a few more words.

"Okay, I'll give up." Xi Muyan glanced back at Pei Yaqing, saw the understanding and support in his eyes, and said in a condensed voice.

Of course, she wouldn't be stupid enough to ask the other party's origin and how she tracked them, she just needed to know that the other party didn't want her life and didn't want to reveal her identity.

"Smart choice." The man with the hat stood upright, his slender figure outlined by the wind-blown clothes, he clapped his palms, and then said with a little appreciation in his tone: "I know that Miss is a smart person and will not make unwise choices." ”

Before the words fell, a rumbling sound was heard in the distance.

Not thunder, of course, but someone did it.

Listening to the sound, the fight was still fierce.

Xi Muyan looked up at the sky, but unfortunately except for the occasional sword light that pierced the night sky, he couldn't see anyone at all.

"Listen, it's someone who isn't so smart, so his consequences ...... It's not so good. There was a bit of banter in the hat man's tone, but the firm attitude in his words made Xi Muyan more vigilant.

In the face of two Yuanying monks, can you still be so sure?

"Very well, now that we've agreed, can we leave now?"

Before Xi Muyan could speak, Pei Yaqing's voice sounded behind him, calm and waveless, as if he was discussing with someone what the weather was like tonight, and it didn't look like he was surrounded by people at all.

"Pei Gongzi, don't be anxious." The hat man broke Pei Yaqing's surname, raised his little finger and shook it: "My character is to intercept the two, so before the matter is finished over there, I have to ask the two to stay for a short time again." Rest assured, just for a moment, I'll be the talker. ”

Pei Yaqing didn't seem surprised, he just looked at the man with burning eyes, and then snorted, "Don't get an inch." There was a bit of threat in his words.

Xi Muyan glanced at him in some surprise, she didn't understand why Pei Yaqing was still accounting for these things at this time.

Although she doesn't like to be forced to blow a cold wind in the wild on such a night, the situation is stronger than people, and the big husband can bend and stretch.

"Okay, okay. Pei Gongzi don't be angry, I just want to complete the task perfectly, since you insist, then I won't force it, two, please. ”

The man in the hat stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, but it was in the direction from which he came, obviously asking them to go back to the end of the road they came.

Xi Muyan narrowed her eyes, she didn't know why, the sharpness that came to her face before made her heart palpitate. But after a few words of conversation, she only felt that these people in front of her seemed to have come out to make soy sauce, and they didn't have the coldness to treat the enemy at all.

Do these people not take the two of them seriously at all?

"Disappointed?"

A clattering sound sounded beneath his feet, and the dead branches and leaves in the forest were trampled to pieces. Pei Yaqing looked back at the black-clothed people who were still not moving, and said to Xi Muyan.

"Sort of."

Xi Muyan sighed.

She really feels that she is still too naΓ―ve, there are too many unexpected places in this world, and there are too many mysterious things, although she has some capital. But it's not enough at all, even if her background is high enough and her background is hard enough, but walking the rivers and lakes, who cares so much about you? Those are too far away until they can't be transformed into their own strength.

"I wasn't aware of being stalked."

Xi Muyan frowned, at this moment, she deeply felt that her strength was too small.

"Neither do I." Pei Yaqing immediately said: "So don't be discouraged, I believe that they were premeditated than following us." There are only two routes to the outside world. It's not that hard to guess. ”

Although Xi Muyan was a little depressed, he was not too sad, and in the face of Pei Yaqing's comfort, he just smiled faintly, and then glanced back.

Unexpectedly, he saw that the man in black was still standing in place, and raised his hand to signal to her.

"I think...... The man seemed to know a lot about us. Xi Muyan thought of one more thing. Then he said with some doubts: "At least he can know about you, which means that they have either investigated us or someone we know." ”

"They must have eyeliner on the end." Xi Muyan came to a conclusion.

Pei Yaqing raised her eyebrows.

He looked at Xi Muyan's back again and again, and finally decided to hold back the words in his stomach.

"Okay, since we can't get the map, let's go back to sleep as soon as possible." Xi Muyan pulled Pei Yaqing's sleeve and stood up.

The wind was still there, but Xi Muyan didn't see the shallow smile on the lips of the hat that saw them away.

Duanfang City was very quiet, and Xi Muyan and Pei Yaqing quietly returned to the Eight Treasures Pavilion.

"It was a terrible day. Not to mention the failure of the plan, this feeling of being pinched by others is really unpleasant. ”

Xi Muyan leaned on the head of the bed, holding the ice and snow toad in his hand that had not seen the light for a long time, and said a little lost.

Liang Liang's big round eyes blinked, and then croaked. Jumped to the side and lay still on his stomach.

"Still dislike me?" Xi Muyan glared for a moment, and then said as if admitting defeat: "Okay, go to sleep, sleep, and leave here tomorrow." ”

The night passed quickly.

When Xi Muyan opened her eyes, the sky was already bright, she rubbed her eyes, yawned and got up from the bed, as soon as she opened the window, a cool air came to her face, stretched out her head, and just saw the figure that appeared from the end of the corridor.

"Early."

Pei Yaqing smiled with her eyebrows, as if she didn't take last night's events to heart at all, the new robe was still the low-key and luxurious style of the past, but the difference was that there was a small cyan mark in the current area.

"Huh? What are you ......" Xi Muyan was about to tease Pei Yaqing if he drew such a mark on his face in order to be handsome, but found that under his gaze, the mark actually moved.

Xi Muyan was sure that it was definitely not because of Pei Yaqing's smile, and he was definitely not an eye.

"What's wrong? Do I have a face grown? ”

Seeing Xi Muyan looking at him motionlessly, Pei Yaqing leaned his face up and said.

As he got closer, Xi Muyan saw it more clearly, the mark on Pei Yaqing's face was definitely not the paint on the painting or anything else, but as if it was born in the skin, and even as if it had life.

Xi Muyan stretched out a cold finger and pointed at Pei Yaqing's face: "Here, what is it?" ”

Pei Yaqing blinked, as if he didn't know that there was such a thing on his face, and lowered his eyes to look at it, of course, he couldn't see what was on his face.

Xi Muyan casually condensed a water mirror, Pei Yaqing took his face up, and his face suddenly changed greatly.

"How?" Xi Muyan asked with concern.

Pei Yaqing just shook his head, he closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there seemed to be something else in his eyes. He didn't speak, just turned around and entered Xi Muyan's room, and then closed the door and window.

Xi Muyan looked at Pei Yaqing's movements in amazement, and felt faintly in his heart. This cyan mark is not a trivial matter.

Pei Yaqing sat on the chair, one hand kept touching the mark, his eyes were a little empty, but after a while, he sighed leisurely.

looked at Pei Yaqing, who was so abnormal. Xi Muyan couldn't help but be a little anxious, she dragged a chair and sat next to Pei Yaqing, then grabbed his arm and said, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"I ......" Pei Yaqing pursed her lips and said softly: "I once went mad and fell into ......"

Seeing Xi Muyan's startled expression, Pei Yaqing hurriedly pressed her shoulder, and then continued: "Don't be impatient. ”

Xi Muyan took a deep breath and looked at Pei Yaqing with both eyes, as if he wanted to see his heart, "It has something to do with that madness?" ”

"Yes." Pei Yaqing nodded, and then smiled softly as if he had thought of something: "Do you remember the experience on the Endless Sea?" That time you were pushed into another dimension by that damn monkey. Then I went in with it, and it was at that time. ”

Pei Yaqing put down his hand, and the small mark on his cheek seemed to be a little bigger after a while, and it extended from a line that could not be seen before, and there was a small dot at the bottom of the line.

And that dot. The colors flickered on and off, as if something was flowing inside.

"Then I encountered a predicament, and then I ......" Pei Yaqing thought of his feelings at that time, and instinctively didn't want to mention it again, so he only glanced at it: "Later, there was a fire that merged into my heavenly soul fire, and then I went crazy...... I think it has something to do with being able to break through after that, but after that. My body was not unusual, and I gradually forgot about it. ”

"I just felt it, and the spark seemed to have woken up from its slumber. This mark is probably a sign. ”

At that time. Pei Yaqing has no one else around, and he doesn't care about looking at his appearance in that environment, but that feeling left a deep impression on him, although this time it was not as strong as it was at the beginning, but it was very clear, and it was so clear that he couldn't mistake it.

"How will it affect you?" Xi Muyan couldn't understand a little, although there was an extra fire in his body, but with the strength of the heavenly soul fire, couldn't he completely transform it?

"I don't know." Pei Yaqing shook his head, he didn't want to think about the worst, but the habits he had cultivated over the years couldn't be changed: "I originally thought that it would slowly merge with the Heavenly Soul Fire, but I didn't expect that it would still be able to do something wrong to me." My biggest concern right now is that it doesn't mess with me at a critical moment. ”

Thinking of the forbidden spell on Xi Muyan's body, Pei Yaqing had a headache, this completely uncontrollable situation was the one he hated the most, even worse than going mad. Because you have absolutely no idea when it will suddenly cause you trouble.

I think that at the beginning, if Xi Muyan hadn't been because of this, he would not have been unlucky enough to be swept into the undercurrent, and then disappeared in the endless sea for so many days, and he was almost killed.

"What then?" The good mood brought by a good night's sleep was destroyed in an instant, Xi Muyan said with a frown.

"There won't be any problems yet." Pei Yaqing put one hand on Xi Muyan's shoulder and said, "We can't delay time, rush to Liuyun Sect to deliver the letter as soon as possible, and then you accompany me back to the mansion, maybe the master will have a way." ”

Of course Xi Muyan will not laugh at Pei Yaqing for looking for a master if he has something, instead of working hard to find a way, it is better to take a shortcut, and it is good to have a good master.

"Okay, so I'm going to get out of here."

Xi Muyan nodded in agreement.

Since he decided to leave, there was nothing to hesitate about, and after being ordered one by one, he was ready to set off in just half an hour.

This half an hour was still delayed for a while because of Yue Wenlin, and this girl was still asleep on the bed when Xi Muyan knocked on her door.

"Why are you in such a hurry, I didn't come back until dawn, I'm so tired."

Yue Wenlin leaned on Xi Muyan, looking drowsy, and complained while yawning.

"Heh, is there a hurry, don't complain, anyway, let's rush to Liuyun Sect as soon as possible, I have other things."

Xi Muyan sat cross-legged, straightened Yue Wenlin's body, and smiled softly.

Because Yue Wenlin hasn't learned Edgeworth yet. So I had to take Xi Muyan with her, because I had to hurry as soon as possible, those impractical carriages and the like, so naturally the two of them threw them in the Eight Treasures Pavilion.

"Huh? What's the matter? Didn't you say yesterday that you were going to stay in the end for a few days? Yue Wenlin's eyes were not bright, and it was obvious that she was still in a state of confusion.

Of course, the specific reason can't be told to Yue Wenlin.

Looking at Yue Wenlin's appearance, Xi Muyan also knew that she was just asking casually, and she didn't necessarily have to know the answer, so she smiled and pulled the topic away: "Why did you go yesterday?" ”

The Eight Treasures Pavilion was so lively, but Yue Wenlin didn't come out. Obviously, this girl was not in the Eight Treasures Pavilion yesterday.

"Hmm...... Let's go into the mountains to play......" Yue Wenlin explained her whereabouts in a daze, and only then did she suddenly wake up and look at Xi Muyan, she hadn't forgotten that Xi Muyan had warned her not to go out easily.

Looking at Yue Wenlin's weak appearance, Xi Muyan smiled in her heart, but she pretended to be unhappy on her face: "Senior sister, you are not well-behaved." ”

"Mu Yan...... Don't be angry, it's a big deal that I won't listen to you in the future, by the way, I still have a lot to gain, those people are not as bad as you say......"

All the way, accompanied by Yue Wenlin's careful voice. The sullenness in Xi Muyan's heart gradually dissipated.

After all the wind and dust, before the sunset of this day, everyone finally settled in Pengzhou.

Xi Muyan, who had already been here last time, naturally didn't feel anything new, Yue Wenlin came out of this group, and the others were all people who knew it, Xi Shiyi took the first step to make arrangements. A few people were directly placed in the big mansion here in the Misty Mansion.

The next day, someone came to the door.

Xi Muyan's identity has been recognized by Xi Peiran and notified to the Quartet, and the people here are no exception, everyone who had seen Xi Muyan last time was quietly sighing in their hearts, but there were a few people who were not very friendly to Xi Muyan before who were secretly uneasy, for fear that Xi Muyan would come to find the account.

Xi Muyan is certainly not so boring.

Although she is small-minded and holds grudges, it depends on what is going on, if she also remembers such a trivial matter, it is not to die of exhaustion.

"Needless to say, in the Lower Cloud Sect, I have been waiting for Miss for a long time."

The young man in white clothes had a bit of comfort and grace between his eyebrows and eyes. looked at Xi Muyan with a little closeness in his eyes, but he was not abrupt, and his words were respectful for a long time.

"Oh? Have a seat. Xi Muyan sat down on the main seat, and when the maid served tea, he was surprised: "I don't know." Needless to say, Daoist friends are waiting for me again? ”

"That's true." Needless to say or pretentious, he said briskly: "Miss don't be surprised, the senior brother received the summons from the young lady a few days ago, so he handed over the matter to the next brother, and he was entrusted by the senior brother to dare not slack off, and he has been waiting here for three days." ”

"I really don't dare to be," Xi Muyan looked at Wuyan with some surprise, and a little embarrassed, if it weren't for her whim and delaying time, I'm afraid it would have arrived a long time ago, "This matter is really troublesome, in this case, then we can leave, I can't wait to see the scenery on the sea." ”

"Miss, don't worry, I won't let you down." Wu Yan got up and smiled: "But there is another request below." ”

"Oh?" Xi Muyan looked at the needless words in front of her, since she was entrusted by Yuwen Qi to see her, she must not be a person who does not know how to advance or retreat, but she doesn't know what this request will be, "Please speak." But whatever I can, I will not shirk. ”

"Hehe, Miss doesn't have to be like this," Wuyan laughed, and then winked mischievously, "Wuyan is the kind of person who doesn't know what to do?" This request is extremely simple for Miss - as long as Miss calls me by name, don't be so angry as a Taoist friend, a friend of the senior brother is naturally a friend who does not speak. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Gladly so. ”

Xi Muyan smiled, she found that this young man seemed to be more likable than his senior brother.

The coastline of Pengzhou is very long, if you look at it from the air, it is a long and beautiful arc, and several people followed Wu Yan to board the wooden boat parked by the sea of Liuyun Sect, and when they entered the cabin, they found that there were still a few people they didn't know.

"These are all guests who are going to the Liuyun Sect." Needless to say, seeing Xi Muyan's reaction, he hurriedly explained.

He said before that it was not fake to wait for Xi Muyan again, but the guests who were going to the island were not just Xi Muyan and his party.

"It doesn't matter." Xi Muyan glanced at those people, shook his head indifferently and said, "Don't worry, I'm not such a cautious person, I'm not a villain, I specifically make it difficult for the master's family." ”

These words were said clearly, and those people could naturally hear them, even if someone turned their heads and nodded to Xi Muyan, it was even a greeting.
