Chapter 9: The Ghost Kirin
Mu Xuerou also smiled at her, glanced at her by the way, saw the hawthorn cake at the corner of her mouth, took out a pink handkerchief from the cuff, and said, "Qianxue girl, wipe your mouth!"
Hearing her say this, Mu Qianqing turned her face away, looked down at Qianxue's lips, and found that there was indeed a small grain of hawthorn cake at the corner of her lips, stuck to the corners of her pink lips, making her harmless appearance look even more innocent.
Qianxue also knew that there was something at the corner of her mouth, glanced at Mu Xuerou's handkerchief, waved her hand, and said, "Thank you, your handkerchief is so good-looking, let's use my own!"
After that, she found out that her handkerchief had just been used to wrap hawthorn cake, and there were many hawthorn cakes on it, and she remembered that there was still a handkerchief in her cuff, so she pulled it out.
This square handkerchief is Mu Qianqing's cyan handkerchief, she wiped her mouth, and then put it together with her own side, folded it, and put it into the cuffs, thinking that they would wash it together when it was over here.
She didn't notice that there was something wrong with the eyes of the two people next to her.
Of course he knew Mu Qianqing's own things, and seeing that she took it out and wiped her mouth without care, for some reason, she seemed to have been hit by something, and then she regained her calm.
And Mu Xuerou, she looked at the square veil, the color was the same as the color of Mu Qianqing's clothes, and the square veil was obviously used by men, which was bigger than that used by girls, her eyes turned around the two of them, and she didn't find anything abnormal, and comforted herself in her heart, it was just a handkerchief, maybe she thought too much.
Originally, the place where they were standing was not very conspicuous, just the two of them, so naturally there were fewer people who noticed them, but now that Mu Xuerou came, she came over to say hello in such a high-profile manner, so many people looked over here, and their eyes lit up after seeing that it was Mu Xuerou, naturally, the eyes that looked at Mu Qianqing were not so friendly.
"Senior Brother Mu only has one companion, Miss Qianxue?" Mu Xuerou looked around, but didn't see Mu Qingfeng's disciple.
Mu Qianqing nodded: "Well, junior brother, they went elsewhere." "Those teenagers, they are all disciples who have just graduated from the school this year, and their cultivation is limited, even if they are with him, he will not let them come to the danger.
Mu Xuerou smiled and nodded, a slight joy appeared on her face, her eyes looked at him gently, and said: "I don't know if Senior Brother Mu is willing to go with me later, the junior sisters are also new disciples, Xue Rou doesn't dare to let them take risks, but Xue Rou is alone, Xue Rou is a little unsure." As she spoke, she looked at Mu Qianqing with burning eyes, afraid that he would refuse.
Mu Qianqing glanced at the girls who were following her, then moved her gaze to Mu Xuerou's face, and nodded lightly: "Okay!" He took Qianxue, although he knew that her cultivation was very high, but he didn't know if this guy who loves to eat and sleep would fight, if Mu Xuerou joined, the certainty would indeed be greater.
Qianxue had been standing for a long time, pulled Mu Qianqing's sleeve, glanced at the rising sun and asked, "Can we find a cooler place to talk?"
Mu Qianqing glanced at her somewhat pink face, nodded, looked around, pointed to a shady place with stones and said, "Go there and rest!" When the sun is in the middle, you can attack the ghost qilin.
Qianxue found a relatively large stone and sat down, looked at the mountain and asked, "Can you determine the specific location of the ghost qilin?"
Mu Qianqing shook his head, but heard Mu Xuerou say, "It should be at the top of the mountain." ”
Mu Qianqing looked at her and saw that her beautiful face had a faint determination, and she knew that she probably used some secret method that he didn't know to detect the hiding place of the ghost qilin.
The three of them sitting, the wind in the forest was blowing slowly, they didn't sleep in the middle of the night last night, and the morning was almost over, Qianxue suddenly regretted why she didn't take advantage of Mu Qianqing's sleep last night to squint for a while.
When the sun finally reached the middle of the sky, Chiyuki stood up and complained, "If I wait a little longer, I'll be hungry again." After speaking, he stretched out his arm, thinking that if he saw the ghost unicorn later, he must solve it quickly, and then pulled Mu Qianqing to eat.
Qianxue couldn't hold her breath, naturally someone was even more breathless than her, and she went up the mountain early, and it seemed that someone had already discovered the hiding place of the ghost unicorn.
When they reached the top of the mountain, a hole three or four meters high appeared in front of them, even in broad daylight, the sun was shining, they still couldn't see what was going on inside, they only felt that the yin qi was thick, the ghost qi was turbid, and it swam out like black smoke.
Seeing that the people were almost gathered, some people took the lead in going first, and everyone used spiritual power to protect their bodies and prevent the ghost qi from eroding their body hair and skin.
Qianxue followed Mu Qianqing and walked slowly inside, but this hole was like a bottomless black hole.
After walking for a long time, the road finally came to an end, but I found it. There is a road on each side that leads to a different place.
Everyone was stunned, they never expected this to be the case, the crowd was divided into two groups, and walked towards the holes on both sides, Mu Qianqing and their party entered the hole on the right, and walked for a while, and there were actually two roads in front of them, and the scattered crowd was dispersed again.
Finally, they seemed to have reached the end, and a large cavern appeared in front of them, and there were even glowstones glowing red on the walls.
Countless small holes appeared in front of them, and everyone was stunned, they didn't expect the ghost unicorn's lair to be like this.
Qianxue really wants to scold, damn, it's just a monster that hasn't become a climate, there are so many eyes in the heart, no wonder it will harm one party, she recalled her nest, compared with this, it's just, it won't turn around!
"What should I do?" Qianxue spread her hands, she may have been lazy, forgetting that she was a thousand-year-old demon and could use her spiritual sense to investigate.
Mu Xuerou took out a few paper cranes and scratched them a few times, and the paper cranes flew into a hole each.
After waiting for a while, the paper cranes came back, stood in front of Mu Xuerou for a while, and then all fell into her hands.
Mu Xuerou's face was a little ugly, and she said to Mu Qianqing: "My thousand paper cranes can't find out which hole is the hiding place of the ghost qilin. She glanced at the openings and continued, "All the caves are connected to the other openings, and the inside is like a labyrinth, and it is not known where it leads. ”
Listening to her words, everyone's faces were a little ugly, and they guessed, I don't know what the situation is with the Taoist friend who went to the other side.
Qianqing saw that everyone's eyes were looking at Mu Qianqing, and couldn't help but glance at him as well, his face looked even more cold in the dark, but his water chestnut features were extremely serious.
"I'll try!" Qianxue spoke, stretching out her finger to draw a circle in front of her, and lotus petals flew out of it and flew towards the holes.
She opened her eyes and waited for those petals to fly back, and after a while, those petals flew back at noon, she put away the circle and said to Mu Qianqing: "The third, fifth, and eighth holes go in from here and go to the right hole, and the demonic qi in these ones is heavier." "Her spiritual sense can only fly so far, and if it is farther, it may be cut off.
Everyone looked at Mu Qianqing and waited for him to speak.
Mu Qianqing pondered for a moment, looked at the holes that Qianxue said, and said, "I'll go to the third cave with my friends and Senior Sister Mu, and the Daoists will assign it by themselves, okay?"
Originally, the cultivation of the two of them was the highest, and when they walked together, others would inevitably have some opinions, but there were only two holes left, and there were so many of them together, so they were not afraid of anything.
Seeing that everyone had no opinions, Mu Qianqing took Qianxue and Mu Xuerou into the third cave.
Sure enough, as Mu Xuerou said, it was like a labyrinth like a spider's web, and there were forked roads everywhere, but fortunately, there were petals floating out of Qianxue to guide the way, so that they had a relatively smooth journey, but they didn't see the shadow of the ghost unicorn.
Even they didn't expect it to be like this inside, and when Qianxue sent the petals out for the fifth time, she couldn't help but complain: "You said, we just waited outside at noon before coming in, isn't it a bit redundant?"
Mu Qianqing and Mu Xuerou didn't speak, but they also agreed with her statement, and walked several more forks, when Qianxue's petals came back, her face changed a little, she looked at Mu Qianqing, and asked, "Are you sure it's a ghost unicorn with a low cultivation inside?"
Mu Qianqing didn't know why she asked this, so she couldn't help but say, "I also read what the master said on Lingyan, and I didn't dare to be sure." ”
Qianxue held the petals to her fingertips and motioned for them to see that the pink and white petals were burned a little by the black gas.
Their faces were also a little unsightly, Mu Xuerou might not know her cultivation, but Mu Qianqing knew that her spiritual sense was burned, although it was only a slight spiritual sense like hair, but it was enough to explain the problem.
Qianxue didn't seem to care about what the ghost qilin cultivation inside was, but showed a smile and asked, "Do you want to continue to go in?"
Mu Qianqing looked at her, frowning slightly, knowing that this guy might find it funny.
"Don't be careless. With that, he walked towards the cave.
His words were said to Qianxue, he knew that her cultivation was relatively high, but against such a powerful monster, he really didn't have the confidence to protect the safety of the two people.
Qianxue put away the petals in her hand and grimaced at Mu Qianqing's back, just when Mu Xuerou saw it, she couldn't help but look at her curiously.
Seeing her looking at her, Qianxue smiled at her and walked in after Mu Qianqing.
Finally, they emerged from the cobweb-like labyrinth, a large clearing with only an altar-like platform.
On the platform, the ghost unicorn stood there, with his back to them, looking at the place leading to the sky from above to the top of the mountain, where a beam of sunlight was shining down, looking at the angle, I am afraid that half of the afternoon has passed.
The three of them all looked at the ghost unicorn with a wary expression, or Qian Xue's sharp eyes saw the bloodstains on the other side of them, and the lotus flowers bloomed in their eyes, and they saw the corpses of several people.
Before she could speak, the ghost qilin slowly turned around, with a rich black ghost aura that could not be dissolved, and the eyes that turned around and looked at them turned out to be red.
