Qinchu border city, the outer edge of Julu Canyon.

Towering mountain gorges stretch and naturally enclose the uninhabited wilderness of the gorge.

Beyond the valley, covered with a large area of virgin vegetation, dense jungle and abundant flowers, the quiet atmosphere completely permeates the area, and even the air is full of natural freshness. And the most wonderful thing is that there are no fierce beasts in the jungle outside this gorge, and the most is a few fluffy bunnies.

Under the big tree, there was a cute little rabbit, which stood obediently, and its little red eyes looked curiously at the rock, looking at the deep cave hidden under the grass and trees on the rock. In the deep cave, Zhang Liang floated up and sat in the void.

He stared, quietly listening to the sounds of nature outside the cave, while gently pouring out his thoughts to nature. At this moment, he has built a soul bridge with all things within a kilometer of silence, and on this bridge he feels the perception of all things, and feeds back the perception of all things.

In this artistic conception of heart flow and perceptual resonance, Zhang Liang carried out focused and deep thinking, thinking about the summoning technique he would choose, and what he should have - for the future war, after leaving Fengqi Mountain, Zhang Liang came to the dark cave outside the Julu Canyon for meditation. It's not the first time he's been here, he's always come here to think about ancient books or when he has a problem with his own thinking.

Located at the junction of the Julu Canyon and the human city, this cave is exceptionally quiet, and it is indeed a wonderful place to think. However, Zhang Liang has been meditating for three days on this trip, but he still has not understood his own problems.

Suddenly, Zhang Liang, who was immersed in thought, opened his eyes, not because he had figured out the problem—but in the great perception of connecting with nature, he found that someone had stepped into this silent area.

Hua Mulan tried her best to keep moving at an even speed on the road, her face was pale, her eyes were scattered, and a trace of cold sweat continued to break out on her forehead—the emptiness of the magic blue energy in her body constantly stimulated the consumption of her physical strength.

What's even more cautious is that her chest is soaked with red bloodstains - in fact, her weakness and injuries have been around for a long time, but when she walked in Qin Chu City before, she had been deliberately patient. And now, it's not a question of whether she can bear it or not, the abnormal emptiness of the demon blue in her body makes her so weak that it seems that she will fall in a moment.

"No, we have to find the blue stone statue quickly......" Mulan had already walked to the mouth of the Julu Canyon at this moment, and seeing that the destination was approaching, her eyes finally lifted a little.

Just as Mulan was about to enter the canyon, she suddenly stopped, and for some reason, a strange aura flashed in her consciousness - someone!

Mulan subconsciously turned her head and looked into the depths of the mountain rocks covered by grass and trees. Her own ability is not good at probing, but her consciousness senses that there is another person at this moment, and her natural alertness and bold consciousness make Mulan make a decision immediately. She clenched her teeth, took a few breaths, and ran lightly to the hidden place of the mountain rock. After running a few steps, Mulan immediately saw a cave covered by vegetation, which undoubtedly verified her previous perception that there were indeed people.

Without thinking, Mulan immediately pulled out the giant sword tied behind her and quickly approached the cave. "Cang Po Chop" Hua Mulan held a giant sword, bounced up, and quickly flashed into the hole, the moment she flashed, a layer of sharp sword qi was already attached to her giant sword - Hua Mulan didn't know whether the good guy or the bad guy was in the hole, but in the face of the unknown situation, she had to seize the initiative as a strong party - strike first!

Zhang Liang, who was sitting in the void, stared at each other, and his expression became grim. He had already noticed that someone had walked into the area, but he didn't expect her to run so decisively to the cave, and he didn't expect her to attack so unhesitatingly.

But Zhang Liang was still very calm, from the moment he found that a stranger was approaching, he had always been on guard - he calmly analyzed the situation, waiting for the opportunity - the finger in his left hand was hooked upward, and the seal was sealed with one hand, and the magic blue energy that had been accumulated in his body for a long time responded to the instructions of the handprint, and it was sent out in an orderly manner!

"Speech Spirit Barrier" Three feet in front of Zhang Liang's body, a barrier made of fire-colored energy intertwined appeared out of thin air, separating the path in front of Zhang Liang, but the barrier was as thin as a cicada's wing, and it was not hard, it looked like a layer of yarn that could be broken by blowing bombs, and it couldn't stop the menacing enemy.

At the moment when Zhang Liang's spell was completed, a purple shadow flashed in front of him! Everything was as if it had been calculated, and the landing point where Mulan flashed into the cave was exactly Zhang Liang's spell point, and when she twisted her waist and wanted to swing the sharp blade, she had already touched the layer of thin cicada wings with her whole body, and she had already touched the layer of thin cicada wings barrier.

In an instant, those ethereal fire-colored energies invaded from Mulan's body, directly paralyzing Mulan's nervous system in an instant—Mulan also wanted to use the summoning technique, but a powerful feeling of dizziness appeared in her brain, making her powerless.

Mulan's magic blue was already empty, and at this time, she forcibly used the skill, and her body was even weaker to the extreme, so when she was hit by the skill controlled by Zhang Liangqiang, her entire consciousness was scattered in an instant.

The "bang" giant sword fell to the ground, and Mulan fainted to the ground. The birds chirped softly, idly and carefree, and everything in the jungle in the afternoon was as leisurely and calm as this bird. The blazing rays of the midday sun cast through the gaps in the trees, finally giving a little light to the dark cavern.

When she woke up, Mulan's eyes were still misty and her consciousness was a little disjointed, and the only thing she remembered was that she seemed to have rushed into a cave before. She looked with misty eyes, and there was a dark rock wall around her, and it seemed that she was indeed in a cave.

Mulan sat up against the rock wall, and after a good night's sleep, her body was much more comfortable, and it seemed that even the wound didn't hurt anymore. Mulan looked down at her chest, there was a half-foot-long knife mark on her white skin, but the wound was already healing, and even the blood stains were ......

"Huh?" Mulan's originally misty eyes suddenly woke up, and she looked at herself with a stagnant gaze - seeing that she was lying naked on the edge of the rock wall, covered only with a light gray silk cloth trench coat that she didn't know who it was-

"Ah!!h Mulan screamed in surprise and stood up abruptly wrapped in the silk trench coat. She glanced at it, and immediately saw a neat head on the nearby rocks—but she saw a man she had never met sitting in the void, looking at her with a smile on his face, and saying gently, "Girl, you are awake." ”

Suddenly, Mulan's face was flushed, and her whole consciousness was sluggish, but fortunately, she was as rational as her, and she immediately picked up her clothes. But when she picked up her clothes, she stopped unnaturally, and it was not until she glanced at Zhang Liang's understandingly closed her eyes that she untied the trench coat wrapped around her body and went to put on her own clothes. When Mulan was getting dressed, Zhang Liang, who was closing his eyes on the side, began to explain softly.

"Girl, do you remember what happened before? Yesterday afternoon you ventured into the cave and attacked me for no apparent reason, and in self-defense I fought back, fainting you, but I had absolutely no intention of hurting you. Later, I saw that you were seriously injured, and I happened to have a little medical skills, so I went to the cave and picked some herbs to treat your wounds...... Well, your injuries should be better, right? ”

Hearing this, Mulan, who had just put on her stockings, suddenly stopped, and her face, which was originally full of embarrassment and shyness, suddenly became angry, only to hear her suppress her anger and ask, "It's you-took off my clothes?" ”

"yes, yes." Zhang Liang replied with a natural face, not feeling that there was anything wrong at all, "If I don't take off your clothes, how can I give you medicine?" However, it is easy to take off your clothes, but it is too difficult to put them back on, so I can only put my trench coat on you to protect against the cold at night. ”

Zhang Liang spoke calmly on the side, but Hua Mulan became more and more angry the more she listened, she quickly put on her purple clothes and fastened her chest with a face full of shame, and then reflexively reached out and grabbed Zhang Liang's collar and pulled him closer to her.

Zhang Liang was frightened by the sudden attack, if he could still be prepared for Mulan's surprise attack before, but at this time he was really unprepared. He couldn't figure out why she was attacking him even if she had saved this woman.

Zhang Liang opened his eyes in surprise and looked at the beautiful woman in front of him who picked himself up like a rabbit. I saw that Mulan was furious and looked at herself with resentment. He then asked softly, "Girl, where did I offend you, can you tell me clearly?" ”

Hua Mulan hated Zhang Liang and scolded angrily: "What did you do to tarnish my innocence? Say! ”

"No! Is it true that stripping and medicating you and healing your wounds also stains your innocence? Zhang Liang said confusedly. At this time, Mulan's heart was full of shame and hatred, and she couldn't listen to Zhang Liang's explanation at all, so she stretched out her hand to draw the sword, but found that the sword was not behind her.

"Where's my sword?" Mulan asked angrily. Zhang Liang paused for a moment, and then pointed to the direction of the cave entrance, ten steps away from the cave entrance, where Mulan had raided Zhang Liang before, and the ancient silver giant sword was lying on the ground. I saw him weakly say, "Your sword is too heavy...... I can't drag it in. ”

Hua Mulan shook off Zhang Liang and walked straight to get the sword. After Zhang Liang was thrown away, when he saw that he was about to fall to the ground, he quickly released his magic power, and he was suspended in the air again.

"Girl, in fact, I have been living in Fengqi Mountain before, concentrating on the Demon Dao, so I really don't know anything about mortal things, if I really insult your place, please forgive me." Zhang Liang continued to explain.

And Mulan didn't listen at all, she walked to the sword, stretched out her hand, and easily picked up the giant sword, at this time, Hua Mulan, who originally wanted to reflexively give Zhang Liang a sword first, suddenly stopped, her eyes didn't stop for a moment - until this moment, she took Mulan suddenly stopped, her eyes didn't stop - until this moment, she picked up the giant sword, and when the energy in the meridians was connected with the sword, she found that her body was unexpectedly filled with magic blue energy.

It's strange, after fainting for so long, the power of the Demon Blue, which was originally empty to the extreme, has not decreased, but has also recovered. Hua Mulan looked very surprised, but there was nothing to be suspicious about, it was obvious that the male mage had replenished it with his own magic blue energy.

"It seems...... He really saved me......" Mulan pondered. In fact, even if she was not injured, she would definitely be in danger of life during such a long period of fainting time when the demon blue in her body continued to consume.

"But he shouldn't be rude to me......" Thinking of this, Mulan raised her eyebrows again and turned to Zhang Liang with her sword. But when Mulan turned around, she saw Zhang Liang smiling awkwardly in the face of her angry self.

The dustless smile on his plain face, as pure as a child who doesn't understand the world, instantly relieved Mulan's anger of wanting to rush over and give him a sword first. "I ......" Mulan suddenly felt a sense of helplessness that she was angry and couldn't exert her strength. She stared at Zhang Liang, her eyes were extremely complicated, and Zhang Liang also stared at her blankly. After about three seconds of stiffness, Mulan sighed indignantly, "I'll spare your life, even if we are clear!" With that, Mulan turned and left.

Zhang Liang floated in place, he didn't hear what Mulan said in the end, just thinking about Mulan's complicated eyes before, the more he thought about it, the more he felt, the more he felt - she was a little ...... Lovely......

"Strange, why did you use the word 'cute'?" Zhang Liang thought, but in fact, that girl is really good-looking, especially ...... Thinking about it, Zhang Liang's face suddenly became a little hot, and his emotions became embarrassed. And all this is because the face suddenly became a little hot, and the mood became embarrassed. And all this is something he has never had, this weird feeling.

Zhang Liang raised his eyes to look in the direction where Mulan was leaving, and he suddenly felt a deep curiosity about her. Julu Canyon. Different from the natural jungle outside the valley, the Julu Canyon stretches for hundreds of miles and is full of primeval forests made of towering ancient trees, and the sunlight throws into the forest through the leaves, which looks strange and misty.

This forest, and even the entire canyon, are thousands of years old, and there are many demons in the ancient forest, and everything here carries the magic of ancient nature. The flowers and plants on the ground were strangely shaped, as if they had the waist of a demon, dancing without wind, and the mutated beasts with the smell of blood walked quietly in the forest, looking for living creatures. In short, it's as quiet as it is outside, but it's not peaceful.

However, Mulan didn't care about anything, just walked straight on her own path. The coquettish demon flowers and demon grasses on the side of the road all bent their waists and pretended to be dead, and the wild monsters in the forest who were fighting little didn't dare to approach Mulan within a hundred steps - Mulan, just so domineering......

Hua Mulan walked along the ancient road to the center of Julu Canyon, she was going to find a blue stone statue to solve her magic blue problem, although Zhang Liang supplemented her magic blue energy, but it was only a temporary emergency, her magic blue was still in continuous dissipation, and if she didn't find the blue stone statue, she still couldn't solve the problem.

Hua Mulan walked quietly, carefully observing the movements around her, although the chance of encountering the blue stone statue in the low-level wild area was extremely low, but if she could really meet one, there would be a lot of things left. Suddenly, Mulan stopped, not seeing the blue stone statue.
