In the inn, Lu Yubao brought a few horses: "Bai Ranxi, I think these horses are good, so I bought them." Shall we ride a horse?"

Bai Luo coldly swept the horse that Lu Yubao bought. They were a group of six, and Lu Yubao bought seven horses. One of them was already carrying a lot of baggage, all of which were locally purchased ingredients. Lu Yubao has been promoted for so many years, and he can't change his business temperament.

Bai Luo led a white horse: "I want this horse." ”

Lu Yubao's face was suddenly embarrassed for a moment: "Bai Ranxi, do you want to change to that brown one?" ”

Sure enough, as soon as Lu Yubao's words fell, the white horse let out a breath from his nose and stomped his hooves very impatiently. Bai Luo rode on the horse, a pair of blue pupils looked coldly at the white horse's mane, and said coldly: "Don't change." ”

Lu Yubao rolled his eyes, yes, this ancestor is competing with horses again.

Xue Yu grinned and found a horse to straddle it, he lowered his head and approached Lu Yubao: "Boss Lu, I said that you have lost money in this business, right? Bai Ranxi's horse may not be able to ride back to Shuzhong, so she will be killed." ”

Lu Yubao arched his hand and said: "Lu is doing business, but he doesn't dare to compare with Boss Xue." Anyone who scatters a thousand dollars, regardless of the cost, as long as it can overwhelm people. ”

Xue Yu also replied: "You're polite, it's just that you have money below." ”

Jiang Qinghan rode up to Xue Yu and said, "Xue Hate, you don't have to say a few words, otherwise, when we get to Licheng Prison Martial God Monarch, we will have to find a reason to lock you up." Why do you think you want to go to the temptation of Xuanchao? It's not because you annoy her. ”

Ye Ming walked to Bai Luo's side: "What are you going to do when Bai Ranxi goes to Licheng? Is it still like this time? I will let it go when I see the hidden god pitiful? I am afraid that it will cause a big disaster." ”

Bai Luo was silent and frowned slightly.

Yesterday, Bai Luo went to the prefect's house to see Zhiqiong. Zhiqiong recognized her at a glance. Zhiqiong was originally a fairy who was responsible for raising flowers by the Tianchi, so he naturally knew Bai Luo.

If it weren't for Xuan Chao, Zhiqiong wouldn't want to live like this. At first, it was fine, but she woke up from the time change and felt that there was not much difference from before, and she had a few happy days. It's just that the good times don't last long, her body is getting worse day by day, and the pain in her bones is like barbs.

Until one fifteenth moonlit night, a flower-like thorny vine grew in Zhiqiong's pulse, and the vine went along her arm and around her neck. She suddenly became extremely bloodthirsty and killed all the livestock in her family. Just after the vine climbed up Xuan Chao's arm and pierced his wrist. Xuan Chao's blood made Zhiqiong regain three points of sanity.

She fled into the mountains, as if instinctively running into a cave.

She has lived in Yanzhou for many years. Yanzhou is surrounded by a flat river, and the nearest mountain is in the territory of Licheng. Such a cave in the mountains is something that Zhiqiong has never seen before. But at that time, Zhiqiong couldn't care about it, and only by approaching the cave and entering the cave could he feel better.

When she realized it again, she was already a person and a ghost.

Originally, she wanted to hide herself in the cave but survived, but she couldn't stand Xuan Chao looking for her in the wilderness day after day.

She wanted to look at Xuan Chao at a glance, but she didn't expect that as soon as she came out of the cave, she would return to her human appearance, but her face had some thorn-like patterns.

Xuan Chao insisted on following her, if she went to the treacherous cave, Xuan Chao would go too. She knew that there was something strange in the cave, how could she let Xuan Chao follow her?

But every fifteen moon nights, thorny vines would grow on her wrists. She was afraid that the vine would grow out and harm Xuanchao and the people of Yanzhou, so she dug up a little bit every time it grows, until the flesh and blood of the whole arm blurred the white bones of Sensen, and it was not until the next day that the rooster crowed three times and the sky was white.

But she has been stripped too much, and her life seems to have been cut away. Nowadays, even two steps can be tiring.

As he spoke, Zhiqiong stretched out his arm from his sleeve, and his originally white and plump arm had become a dry bone, and the bones were attached to the skin, and he didn't know whether it was skin or rotten flesh, and he looked very terrifying.

After that, a man came to the house, and the man was wearing a hood and couldn't see his face clearly. As soon as he came, he revealed Zhiqiong's identity. Tell Zhiqiong that since her resurrection, she is no longer the little immortal monarch she used to be, but a hidden god, and that the cave is the Heavenly Crack that lives in symbiosis with her. There are so many variables in the sky crack that no one can tell what will become of the people in the sky crack.

Although Zhiqiong is a flower raiser, she has also learned to observe words and colors by the side of Fuxi Tianchi. She sensed that the man's mind was not right and blasted him out. But Xuan Chao quietly found the man and got the method of eating people's hearts.

Zhiqiong smiled bitterly, her body and bones are not as good as day by day, and she doesn't know when she will be uncontrolled and completely become that monster.

The only thing Zhiqiong is afraid of is that if she leaves again, Xuan Chao will go crazy. She only begged Bai Luo to leave her for a year and a half, hoping that this time could make Xuan Chao accept it slowly.

How could Bai Luo disagree to such a request?

Knowing that Qiong has changed, he refuses to hurt others by stripping off his own flesh and blood. In order to save Zhiqiong, Xuan Chao only took the heart of the death row prisoner. These two men have done nothing evil. She couldn't bear to do it.

Faced with Ye Ming's question, Bai Luo didn't know how to answer. What if you encounter a hidden god like Zhiqiong later?

Bai Luo shook his head and sighed: "Let's take a step and see a step." ”

When Ji Boyi handed over the matter of sealing the Sky Crack to Bai Luo, Bai Luo still felt that it was simple. I don't dare to think so now.

Six people rode out into the street. The shops in Yanzhou were hung with red lanterns, and they were full of joy. The craftsmen who make rabbit lanterns on the street are crowded with children dressed in red and green, and the shop that sells cakes has made some special tricks.

The innkeeper was a little regretful when he saw that the six people were leaving: "Everyone is leaving? Why don't you have some fun one day later?"

Lu Yubao said politely: "I'll go to buy everywhere, thank you for the kindness of the shopkeeper." ”

Bai Luo said lightly: "Let's go." ”

The six rode out of the city. Just ten miles out of the city gate, suddenly a person chased after him.

Bai Luo looked back and saw that it was Xuan Chao who chased him out with his sword and horse.

Xuan Chao galloped to the nearest place, and he didn't care who Xue Yu and Bai Luo were. He pointed at Bai Luo with his sword and shouted coldly, "Where is Zhiqiong?"

Xuan Chao was crazy, and Bai Luo couldn't help but argue, so he stabbed Bai Luo with his sword.

Bai Luo kicked up in the saddle and volleyed, her toes lightly touching the horse's back. The white horse ran two steps forward and dodged Xuan Chao's sword. Bai Luo was already in mid-air at this time, she fell from mid-air, kicked Xuan Chao's chest and kicked him to the ground, while she stood firmly on the ground and stepped on the tip of Xuan Chao's sword.

Bai Luo looked at Xuan Chao coldly: "The horse that hurt me has to be compensated." ”

I didn't see Bai Luo exert much force, Xuan Chao held the hilt of the sword hard, but the sword didn't move at all. Xuan Chao looked at Bai Luo with red eyes: "Where did you take Zhiqiong?"

Bai Luo frowned lightly and said, "Why did I take Zhiqiong away?"

Xuan Chao said sharply: "After you met Zhiqiong yesterday, she disappeared." I don't care who you are, whether you are a human or a god, Zhiqiong has never done anything wrong. Even if I fight for my life, I won't let you hurt her!"

Seeing Xuan Chao lose his mind like this, Bai Luo was a little irritable: "If I want to hurt her, you can't stop it even if you die." ”

"You!" Xuan Chao's face was flushed, and he almost vomited blood. But knowing that what Bai Luo said was true, the kick that kicked Bai Luo to him just now left three points of affection. He rushed forward recklessly, and only then did Bai Luo add some strength, and he was afraid that he had already broken several bones.

Ye Ming stepped forward and said, "Lord Prefect, the disappearance of Mrs. Ling really has nothing to do with us. Why don't you tell me what the hell is going on, and we can help you with a thing or two. ”

"How do you want me to believe you?" Xuan Chao thought about Xue Yu forcing himself to tell the whereabouts of Zhiqiong in prison, how could he believe Bai Luo in his heart anymore?

Bai Luo smiled coldly and let go of Xuan Chao's sword: "If you can't believe it, then you can't believe it, say goodbye." After that, Bai Luo turned over and got on his horse, and he was about to leave with his whip.

"Wait a minute!" Xuan Chao stood in front of Bai Luo: "I still have something to say to you." ”

Bai Luo was impatient: "If you have something to say, say it quickly." Why is Xiao Mingjing's apprentice as grinding as he is. ”

Xuan Chao was stunned: "Do you know my master?" But after thinking about it, Bai Luo's words were also disrespectful to Xiao Mingjing, and his face couldn't help but look ugly. "How do you know that my master is Xiao Mingjing?"

Bai Luo said lightly: "The pattern on your sword is the same as Xiao Mingjing's jade jue, it must be his apprentice who is good." Speaking of which, Xiao Mingjing can also be regarded as a hero in the world, I don't think he will be embarrassed by you in his face. Get out of the way!"

Xuan Chao hesitated for a moment and said, "Qiong'er really didn't take it away from you?"

Bai Luo looked at Xuan Chao coldly: "Since I promised Mrs. Ling to come back in two years, it will be two years later." What are you going to do with her?"

Xuan Chao gritted his teeth and knelt down with a "plop". Lu Yubao got off the horse and helped Xuan Chao up: "Prefect, what are you doing here?"

Bai Luo was wronged in vain, and he was still angry in his heart: "If you love to kneel, let him kneel, and the deity can afford it." ”

Lu Yubao rolled his eyes, this ancestor's temper was very difficult to coax. He said, "My lord, it's better to talk about today's events." We can also think of a way. ”

Xuan Chao calmed down and said, "Today, when I returned home from the palace, Zhiqiong was gone. The yard at home was messy, like there had been a fight. Zhiqiong's body is weak, how can he withstand these tosses? I searched around Yanzhou, but I didn't see Zhiqiong. Only then did I think of Xu is ......" Xuan Chao glanced at Bai Luo and swallowed the second half of the sentence. If you mention that you mistakenly think that Bai Luo kidnapped Zhiqiong, I am afraid that Bai Luo will not help find Zhiqiong.

Jiang Jiu was suspicious of reading too much of the ranger's book, and immediately said, "Don't worry, my lord, we will definitely help you find Mrs. Ling." What clues do you have in your house? The thieves who kidnapped Mrs. Ling will definitely leave some traces, and along the traces, the people on the road will be more crowded on the road to the Yanzhou temple fair today, and they will definitely be able to find Mrs. Ling back. ”

Xuan Chao said abruptly: "Since you all know that Zhiqiong is a hidden god, it is inconvenient for me to hide it anymore." Qiong'er killed me five years ago for saving me. The people of Yanzhou know about this. So when she woke up again, she didn't want to make a noise, so as not to disturb the people of Yanzhou. Now passers-by are afraid that they can't remember what Qiong'er looks like. Although I am not a little prefect of Yanzhou, I also know some methods of detective cases, and the traces of the fight are only in the house, not outside the hospital, as if no one has ever come. ”

Jiang Jiu was puzzled: "Then this is difficult, there is really no clue at all?"

Xuan Chao shook his head: "Yanzhou is not a place where people are outstanding, and there were many wars in ancient times. The rich people of Yanzhou went to Gusu, and those who liked to cultivate immortals went to Langya. I know all the people who stayed in Yanzhou. Recently, the only outsiders who have come to Yanzhou are you and the four merchants from the Western Regions. ”

"Four merchants from the Western Regions?" Bai Luo frowned: "What kind of businessman is it?"

Xuan Chao replied: "It is said that he bought medicinal materials from Fufeng, and went to Yanzhou to buy some special products along the way." Does this girl think that it was the merchants of the Western Regions who took Qiong'er away?" Xuan Chao shook his head without waiting for Bai Luo to answer: "Those four merchants left Yanzhou yesterday before the sun set. ”

Jiang Jiu said suspiciously: "Although Mrs. Zun is frail and doesn't want to disturb the people, but she won't call for help when a weak woman is in danger, right?"

Xuan Chao's heart jumped "chuckle": "Oops!"

Xuan Chao didn't have time to explain, so he got on his horse and whipped and ran in the northwest direction.

"Follow him. Bai Luo took the lead and chased after Xuan Chao.

Zhiqiong is a hidden god, and she is not as weak as she seems. No matter who took Zhiqiong away and what the purpose was, Zhiqiong would instinctively return to the Heavenly Rift - whether Zhiqiong escaped or killed all the people who took her, she would go back.

But if you know that Joan returns to the crack in the sky, she will become a monster again. Bai Luo knew Xuan Chao's affection for Zhiqiong, and something was wrong, so it was better for her to go to find it alone with Xue Yu, Ye Ming and others.

There are not many places with dense forests around Yanzhou, even if there is no Xuanchao to lead the way, they should be able to find it after searching for a day with the Star Monarch Disk.

It's just that now Xuan Chao is afraid that he will not listen to persuasion.

Xuan Chao rode his horse into the dense forest, he was anxious and couldn't care about Bai Luo and the others behind him, and plunged into the fog of the dense forest.

Bai Luo stretched out his hand and ordered, "Star Monarch Disk!"

The mountains and forests around Yanzhou are also located in the plain area, where did so much misty miasma come from!

Jiang Jiu was suspicious and immediately took out the Star Monarch Plate from the cloth bag on his body and threw it to Bai Luo. Bai Luo stretched out his hand to take it, and sure enough, the Star Monarch Disk kept rotating in this fog, and the north and south poles kept changing.

"Neighing" a horse roared, and the white horse man under the Bai Luo seat stood up. Bai Luo flew forward and left the horse behind. She held the Star Monarch Disk in her hand and landed in the dense fog, and the poles of the Star Monarch Disk were unexpectedly frozen. It's just that compared to the dense fog, the north and south poles of the Star Monarch Disk have been reversed.

Several soft sounds sounded behind Bai Luo, and Xue Yu, Ye Ming, Lu Yubao, Jiang Qinghan, Jiang Jiuyi and others also walked in.

"That's it. Bai Luo's pair of jade eyebrows frowned slightly. In this thick fog, only the corner of the sleeve of Xue Yu's pink shirt can be seen, and the only thing he can see is the position of his front and back punches.

With a flick of Bai Luo's sleeves, a gust of wind suddenly blew away the dense fog in front of him. Only then did everyone see where they were. They turned out to be in a huge cave. Huge crystal beads as large as beams and pillars rose from the ground, crisscrossing and blocking everyone's way. The crystal pillar was full of impurities, and the crystal pillar was surrounded by thorny vines. In the depths of those crystal pillars, Xuan Chao was suspended in mid-air by the crystal pillars.

And behind him was a Zhiqiong who was wrapped in vines and seemed to be three or five times bigger, turning into a spider-like Zhiqiong!
