Chapter Forty-Eight: Breaking Through
Duan Yichen snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "They are blind, they didn't take a fancy to your Xiao family, but it was my Duan family who came, tsk." ”
Don't look at Xiao Hanfeng who is seriously injured now, looking weak and wilting, but he still doesn't give an inch when he teases his mouth, and gritted his teeth and said: "You Duan clan has great ability, so why are you trapped here like us?
Duan Yichen has always disdained to have too much contact with those mediocre people, because he feels that it is a waste of his time, so he never cares about the words of outsiders, and anything can be regarded as a deaf ear, but there is only one point, others question his ability, and he must not bear it!
He unconsciously tightened his hand gripping the sword, glanced at him sharply, and said in a gloomy tone: "Nothing is good? ”
Gu Qinghao, who had been frozen at the entrance of the cave, slapped his forehead, and came again, these two must be incompatible, there is no time when they don't quarrel when they meet together, and they must fight when they quarrel, but even if they want to fight, they should always see what time it is, right? Alas, forget it, every time he is the hardest peacemaker, and only he is willing to take this kind of tricky thing.
Gu Qinghao finally inserted this mouth before Xiao Hanfeng let out a lot of nonsense, accompanied by a very close smile, as if what had just happened, and said briskly: "I think, the top priority is to find someone first, although what Duan Gongzi said makes sense, but Xiao Gongzi's worries are also human nature, I don't think it's better to be like this, you stay here, I'll go out to find someone, so that even if something really happens, I can give Miss Feng a helping hand, and you won't be wiped out." This should be the best of both worlds, what do you think?"
Xiao Hanfeng twisted his eyebrows: "This is not appropriate, no matter how you say it, it doesn't let you go out on an adventure alone, we are here to seek perfection, and Jing Yao is closer to me, even if you have to go out to find it alone, this errand will not hit your head, I should go." ”
As Xiao Hanfeng spoke, he had already stood up with the help of the rock wall, and staggered towards the entrance of the cave.
Gu Qinghao hurriedly supported him: "But you are injured like this, how can you ......?"
Xiao Hanfeng waved his hand, and suddenly gave birth to a sense of pride, straightened his chest, and glared: "As long as you can save Jingyao, don't talk about this injury, even if I am paralyzed, I have to crawl over to save her!" After speaking, he put aside Gu Qinghao's hand and pierced his head outward, because he was walking too quickly, and the soles of his feet were floating and rootless, and he almost tripped to the ground, but fortunately, Gu Qinghao was not at ease, and kept supporting him behind him, so he staggered a few steps and barely stood firm, but this pull, and there was a hot pain in his back.
Gu Qinghao just wanted to persuade again, but before he could speak, he saw a sudden burst of fire in the sky, and the sharp sound was up and down, and half of the sky was colorful, as bright as day.
Gu Qinghao frowned: "This is...... Hundreds of distress signals. ”
Xiao Hanfeng was also stunned: "The distress signal of the hundred families? So, someone was killed in that direction, and it seems that there are quite a lot of people." ”
Gu Qinghao nodded: "Yes, even the signals of the Qin Clan, the Gu Clan, and the Duan Clan are all among them, and the rest are some small sects, and it seems that a large number of people have gathered in one place." They must have encountered * trouble, so they will release the distress fireworks together that cannot be taken lightly unless it is an emergency. ”
Shen Qingshi heard that the movement was wrong, and he also stretched his neck and leaned over: "The direction is southwest, see that this distance is not far from us, if we rush over now, we should be able to catch up with everyone, but we will definitely encounter danger, what should we do?"
They have been circling in this ghost forest for the past few days, they can't walk out, they can't go back, they are separated from their clansmen, and the dry food and magic weapons at hand are also clean, they are really like lonely ghosts, and when they finally see the big army, they will inevitably be happy in their hearts, but this joy is also accompanied by great danger.
Xiao Hanfeng only glanced at it for a few moments before turning his head, and said indifferently: "You guys are whatever, anyway, I have to find Jing Yao first, and when I find her, I will go to meet you." ”
Condensation splashed his sword with his sleeve and glanced up at him, why didn't this kid cowardly now? Shouldn't he be the one who is most excited and wants to go back the most?
Gu Qinghao was still not at ease: "I think, it's better for us not to be separated, just go together what we want to do, so that we can take care of it." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a white firework suddenly burst into the air, and it was also the last firework.
When Xiao Hanfeng saw the firework, his complexion suddenly changed greatly, and he pointed to the direction of the firework and said in a trembling voice: "That...... That's Jingyao's fireworks!"
Gu Qinghao hurriedly looked back and exclaimed, "Are you right? That's really the Wind Girl's? Could it be that she ...... too?"
Xiao Hanfeng didn't care about Gu Qinghao's foresight, he spread his feet and ran out, and in the blink of an eye, there was no shadow. Gu Qinghao shouted a few times but didn't get a response, looked back at the rest of the people, Duan Yichen and Condensation Splash turned a blind eye, Shen Qingshi has always been wise to protect himself, naturally he doesn't want to mix blindly, although he is anxious and worried on his face, but the soles of his feet seem to have roots, and he doesn't mean to move at all, Gu Qinghao saw this and knew in his heart, he lowered his head and hesitated for a moment, but still chased out, and kept shouting in his mouth.
"Xiao Gongzi wait for me, I'll go with you!"
Shen Qingshi stood at the entrance of the cave, until the figures and voices of the two disappeared, then he sighed, went back to fold the new firewood, and sighed while roasting the fire: "It seems that what Ye Gongzi said is really right, his territory is really the safest, and he is fine here." ”
Condensation splashed against the torchboy and carefully wiped the last section of the sword body clean, looked up and down twice, and wiped the unclean area again, and then put it away satisfied. She didn't hang the sword back on her waist, but took it directly in her hand and walked straight towards Shen Qingshi.
"Hey, why didn't that dead boy stay with you? Xiao Hanfeng had an accident, would he be there?"
Shen Qingshi didn't know who the dead boy in her mouth was, and said confusedly: "Who is the dead boy you are talking about?"
Condensation splashed before he remembered that this son of the Shen family should not have had a chance to contact Shangguan Yu yet, and he didn't know what happened to them before, so he naturally didn't know that she was asking Shangguan Yu.
"It's Shangguan Yu who fought in the ring that day, the one who made friends with Xiao Hanfeng. ”
Shen Qingshi thought for a while, and only then replied with envy: "Oh, you mean the Shangguan Gongzi who danced the begonia on the sword test platform that day? I remember him, I remember him, that style is really unforgettable!"
Condensation's face sank and sank, and he said unhappily: "I asked where he was, don't say so much useless." ”
The reverent expression on Shen Qingshi's face was ruthlessly interrupted as soon as he was ready, looking at the condensation splashing that Tie Qing's face, he was even more frightened and didn't dare to speak, he didn't even dare to accept the stiff smile on his face, and said with a strange expression: "I, I don't know, he hasn't been with us from the beginning." ”
Condensation Splash frowned: "So, he's really not here?"
Shen Qingshi nodded.
Condensation's face was dark and uncertain, and Duan Yichen lowered his head and whispered a few words, not knowing what he was discussing, after a while, the two exchanged a look, and walked towards the cave together.
Shen Qingshi saw that they were about to leave, so he was the only one left in this cave, so he immediately said tightly: "Where are you going?
The condensation splashed his head back, he threw the sword on his shoulder, the scabbard was just aimed at Shen Qingshi's heart, Shen Qingshi still leaned forward, and when he saw this, his color immediately changed, and he hurriedly stopped his feet, almost giving himself a sugar gourd.
"I advise you, it's best not to follow us. ”
When Shen Qingshi heard this, he laughed dryly, retreated very sensitively, and made a gesture of please with a smile, but unfortunately Duan Leng and the others didn't even look back, they didn't see it at all, he was the only one left in the huge cave, and he felt that it was not as safe as outside.
Xiao Hanfeng ran away in one go, regardless of the black light and blind fire, he couldn't see the road clearly, his robe was full of thorns and scratches, and his head was also covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, maybe because of his injuries, he persevered for a long time, and finally stopped and gasped.
Gu Qinghao also followed at this time, hurriedly supported him, and asked, "How is it?"
Xiao Hanfeng gasped and said, "Why did you come with you?"
Gu Qinghao said: "Two people are safer than one. ”
Xiao Hanfeng nodded: "Thank you, when I find Jing Yao, I will definitely accompany you to find Miss Qin." ”
Although Gu Qinghao was very happy that someone was willing to help him find Chu Yun, but listening to the meaning of his words, he always felt weird, what was weird, he couldn't say it, so he had to follow the stubble and said: "This is not in a hurry, let's find someone quickly, I am afraid of variables if it is late." ”
As soon as he finished saying this, sure enough, the two of them had just taken two steps when a lute sound came from the air.
The night was thick, the moonlight was like a pale hand on top of their heads, the four-legged branches were blurred by the darkness, and from a distance, it seemed like countless ghosts and ghosts intertwined and chaotic minions, slowly reaching out to them, and there was a dead silence all around, but in their ears there was a whistling wind and a strange music that made people's backs chill, and the trembling of every string seemed to tug at their hearts, and temptation and danger spread into every inch of the air.
Gu Qinghao: "Who is playing the pipa?"
Of course, no one would answer him, and the only response was that the tune was a little faster.
As the tune grew tighter and tighter, the grass around them began to tremble and sway, and it seemed as if every inch of land around them lurked with an invisible assassin who would pounce on them like a poisonous snake at the moment. Such a scene is really a soldier!
Xiao Hanfeng rubbed the hilt of Xuyang's sword, squinted his eyes and did not move, and whispered to Gu Qinghao beside him: "It seems that we are not very lucky, and we are in trouble as soon as we come out." ”
Gu Qinghao said: "As expected, but this posture is bigger than I expected, and it should be someone with status in the Demon Dao." ”
Xiao Hanfeng snorted from his nostrils: "It doesn't matter who he is, let's fight first, I'll find a random place to cut it down in a while, he will definitely make a move when he sees me move, and then you will surround him from the opposite direction and strive to hit him with one blow!"
Gu Qinghao hummed softly: "Leave it to me." ”
Xiao Hanfeng quietly pushed the sword out of the scabbard by an inch, and stared closely at the changes around him, but his face remained silent, until when the next tune was about to turn, he pulled out his sword violently and slashed down at the grass five steps away from his left hand.
I saw a white shadow sticking to the long sword and taking a few steps back, stopping suddenly, neatly turning to one side, then stretching out the middle finger, and quickly clamping the blade at a speed invisible to the naked eye, the long sword could no longer enter a point, and was firmly fixed by him.
Xiao Hanfeng couldn't help but panic in his heart, but he didn't flinch, but clutched the hilt of the sword and didn't let go, pushing forward hard for a while, and pulling back hard for a while, and after a few rounds, it was all useless. At the same time, Gu Qinghao had already rounded back behind the white shadow under his cover, looking at the vital point, and stabbing over with ten percent of spiritual power!
Bai Ying seemed to have noticed it, and he didn't move at first, letting Xiao Hanfeng drag him, until Gu Qinghao bullied him, he raised his other hand, grabbed the tip of the sword in the same way, and with a flick of his wrist, he threw him and the sword in front.
The two of them were unfavorable, and they were about to fight again while they were annoyed, but they were grabbed by the white shadow in front of them and dragged them over! Before the person could stand, he heard a familiar voice above his head.
"It's me, stop fighting. ”
Xiao Hanfeng paused suddenly, a little unbelieving his ears, he was stunned for two times before he looked up, and when he saw the person in front of him, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Shangguan! You're here! Great, we'll be saved if you come!"
Gu Qinghao also breathed a sigh of relief: "Why is Shangguan Gongzi you? We thought you had something to do with this pipa just now." ”
Shangguan Yu made a silent gesture, glanced up obliquely guardedly, and said softly: "I'll talk about this later, let's get out of here first, and we won't be able to leave when we are entangled by her." ”
However, the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, and a sharp music came with an extremely uncooperative attack, followed by a wave of sound ripples as sharp as a blade, and the grass and trees around the three of them were affected by the sound waves, and all of them were broken, making the three of them suddenly abrupt.
Shangguan Yu sighed helplessly, and said sadly: "Sure enough, I still haven't escaped." ”
The air broke one ripple after another, rippling, and everywhere it went, Xiao Hanfeng and Gu Qinghao's clothes were scratched several times, and the sound of stabbing and stabbing was endless, Shangguan Yu took a breath of true air, and his handsome posture was like a swimming dragon, but he was safe and sound, and he hurriedly grabbed Xiao Hanfeng during the retreat, and asked, "Give me one of those Xiao, flutes or something on your body." ”
Xiao Hanfeng dragged the floor with his feet, was dragged by him, and said with a blank face: "I didn't." ”
Shangguan Yu's eyes widened: "You didn't have any kidding, don't you play with this kind of thing on weekdays?
Xiao Hanfeng scratched his head: "That's just playing on weekdays, come out for trial, who still brings them." ”
Shangguan Yu closed his eyes in resignation, yes, don't say anything, you still have to rely on brute force.
Xiao Hanfeng saw that there was no way to retreat behind him, his back was against a big tree, and he said strangely: "This is also Yi Lin's person, why have you never heard of this person before?"
Shangguan Yu sneered and said softly: "Yi Lin can't control her yet, she is much more annoying than Yi Lin." ”
Xiao Hanfeng said curiously: "Do you know her?"
Shangguan Yu smiled slightly, turned his head to look at him, and was silent for a long time before he said, "I don't know." ”
When the words fell, he raised his hand to his lips and whistled, and a black shadow jumped out of thin air in the night, and before the shadow landed, he heard the sound of the long sword unsheathed, followed by the contest between the sword light and the sound ripple. Under the dark sky, there seemed to be two lightning bolts constantly colliding and rubbing, the aura filled the sky, the sound was like thunder, and even the bright moon in the sky seemed to have lost its brilliance and was dull.
The shadow alone blocked the strange music that was like thunder.
Shangguan Yu pulled a gloating evil smile, snapped his fingers with the hand withdrawn from his lips, and said with a smile: "Let's go." ”
The three of them calmly withdrew from the black forest, not afraid that the people behind would catch up, and their steps were much slower than before. Xiao Hanfeng has been frightened for so long, and he has long been looking forward to Shangguan Yu coming in to save him, and he has a stomach to ask at this time, but the situation does not allow it, so he has to say it urgently.
"Why did you come, if you came early, Jingyao would not have been separated from us, and I don't know how she is now, that Yeche is not a fuel-efficient lamp, in case...... Oh, you'd better hurry up and go with me to find Jingyao!"
Shangguan Yujun frowned, and his face was a little heavy: "She's not with you?"
Xiao Hanfeng said: "Originally, they were together, but then they went out to collect medicine with the young master of the Flowing Fire Island, and they never came back, I saw her distress fireworks again just now, and she ......"
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Shangguan Yu: "So she is with Ye Che now?"
Xiao Hanfeng nodded.
Shangguan Yu lowered his eyes and was silent, his expression was cloudy, his right thumb and index finger rubbed slightly, he didn't know what he was thinking about, and after a while, he regained his composure, and only raised his eyes and said lightly: "I know." With that, he continued on his way, as if he had just heard an inconsequential message.
Xiao Hanfeng was anxious when he saw it, and said incredulously: "Then why don't you go and save her quickly?" That's it...... Whatever?!"
Shangguan Yu put his hand into Xiao Hanfeng's belt and pulled him away like an animal, saying as he walked: "Don't worry, Ye Che doesn't dare to touch her, not only Ye Che, as long as I'm alive, I want to see who dares to beat her." But you, who have been surrounded by people from the Demon Dao, are the one who played the pipa just now who is going for you, so you have to go back to the cave and bring people out first. ”
When they returned to the cave, not only did they not see Duan Leng and the others who had already left, but even Shen Qingshi was gone, and the fire on the ground was messy, and there were obvious traces of a fight.
Shangguan Yu narrowed his eyes, and his face was not very good-looking.
Xiao Hanfeng was shocked and said, "What about them? Weren't they still here just now? Could it be that they went to save people? No, Duan Yichen and Condensation Splash are not that kind of people." ”
Shangguan Yu bent down and picked up an unextinguished piece of firewood, blew it out, and said lazily: "You have been broken by each one." ”
Xiao Hanfeng suddenly realized.
"You mean, all of this was designed by someone, including whether we can get out or not, and it's all under their control!"
Shangguan Yu threw away the firewood in disgust, picked up a jar of wine, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it: "Yi Lin already knew that you were hiding here, and there were tigers, leopards and jackals waiting to catch turtles in the urn outside, and you still think it is safe here, to tell you the truth, except for the one who plays the pipa, there are no less than five life-seeking ghosts of the same level on top of our heads now!"
Xiao Hanfeng's frightened legs were weak, and he quickly grabbed Shangguan Yu's arm, hid behind him, and said in a trembling voice: "Really, don't scare me." ...... above this And five?
Shangguan Yu's face was not wavering, as if this was not a big deal, and put down the wine with little interest, obviously not very satisfied with them. Xiao Hanfeng was skeptical of his words, and looked left and right suspiciously, as if he could see the enemy in the shadows in this way, he was watching, and suddenly there was a sound of someone flying outside the cave.
"Who! who's out there!"
He picked up a scrap of wood at his feet, and pointed to the hole with trembling hands, full of vigilance.
A dark shadow gradually emerged from the darkness, slowly approaching the entrance of the cave, and the firelight also reflected his face.
Xiao Hanfeng observed nervously for a moment, and found that it was Chi Zhan, so he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.
Chi Zhan's eyes were locked on Shangguan Yu, and there was no one else in his eyes, so he walked straight over and nodded at him.
Shangguan Yu gave him a satisfied look, and then said in a low voice: "Within two hours, get things done." ”
Chi Zhan said neatly: "Yes." ”
Shangguan Yu was just about to wave his hand to rebuke Chi Zhan, but Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Gu Qinghao, paused, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "I know that you care about Miss Qin and have always been worried about her safety, but you have also seen it here, Jing Yao, this girl also needs me to find it, I'm afraid I won't be able to spare my hands to take care of other people's affairs, I can only tell you that my subordinates found out that Miss Qin was detained by Yi Lin in their station, but in that place, if you break alone, it is tantamount to Longtan Tiger's Den, and the chances of winning are slim." You took care of Han Feng a lot before, and we shouldn't sit idly by, so in return, if you dare to go, I can lend you Chi Zhan, with him, you should be able to keep you safe." That's what we do, what do you think?"
Gu Qinghao couldn't ask for it, he didn't care if the dragon was not Longtan and the tiger was not in the tiger's den, and it was too late to be grateful to Shangguan Yu, so he immediately responded: "Shangguan Gongzi is willing to help, Gu is grateful!"
Shangguan Yu seemed to be happier than him, and said loudly: "Okay, Chi Zhan, you can follow Gu Gongzi and hurry up, you must do your best, you know?"
Chi Zhan was not as happy as before this time, but glanced at Shangguan Yu, Shangguan Yu still looked like he was smiling, there was nothing strange at all, Chi Zhan seemed to understand, smiled slightly, and said, "My subordinates understand." After speaking, he walked to Gu Qinghao's side and made a gesture of invitation: "Gu Gongzi, please come with me." ”
Gu Qinghao happily followed Chi Zhan to the thief's den, Shangguan Yu stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at the night and muttering: "The two parties are really different, they really have to put some thought into it, the three palace guards don't know how many came, if they all come, won't it be an old friend meeting?"
Xiao Hanfeng listened to him muttering, not knowing what he was saying, but also followed his gaze and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Shangguan Yu touched his nose, grabbed him by the collar and said as he walked: "It's nothing, it's time to take you out." ”
