The carriage rolled forward, galloping all the way in the direction of Wuzhou.

The big butler Zhao closed his eyes and recuperated, Xia Qing also sat cross-legged quietly, and the second heart sword appeared and disappeared like a cyan snake. Sometimes it hovers outside the body, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes it sinks into the body with a thud, and then it comes out from behind.

After leaving the Red Leaf Temple, Xia Qing retreated all the way, and the addition of Hong Qishao made him even more worry-free, regardless of all mundane things, he concentrated on cultivation. Slowly, the swordsmanship became more and more proficient, and the humane flame in the dantian also grew stronger, and as soon as his heart moved, there was a circle of flames wrapped around his fingers, which could superimpose flame damage on his fist, and he also popped out with his fingers and turned into a fire snake.

Xia Qing was hungry and thirsty, and did not let go of any time that could be used, and the more she cultivated, the more energetic she became, swimming in the ocean of cultivation. Butler Zhao didn't have any guidance, so he asked Xia Qing to be alone, and if he didn't understand something, he would read the scriptures by himself.

Outside the carriage, the sound of horses' hooves was far and near, and Hong Qishao did his best all the way.

Not long after leaving the Red Leaf Temple, Shi Xuanxuan found that someone was following. Under her guidance, Hong Qishao laid all kinds of traps and suspicious formations along the way, although he couldn't completely get rid of the pursuers, but it also made the pursuers unable to succeed, and even accidentally fell into the trap.

Shi Xuanxuan has been by the side of the flag dancer since she was a child, whether it is cultivation or experience in the rivers and lakes, she is far above Xia Qing and Hong Qishao, Xia Qing has learned a lot from her, and Hong Qishao's progress is more obvious. Under Shi Xuanxuan's guidance and *, he gradually transformed from a little rascal who did not enter the stream to a wandering swordsman, became a martial arts master, and even faintly showed signs of breaking through the prohibition of life and igniting the fire in his heart. The speed of cultivation was so fast that Xia Qing smacked his tongue.

Seven days passed without danger.

In the past seven days, the carriage hardly stopped, and Shi Xuanxuan and Hong Qishao took turns to drive, crossing the mountains and mountains day and night. At noon, I finally came to a high mountain. Looking up, the mountain stands as straight as a pen between heaven and earth, the east side of the mountain is sunny, but the west side is shrouded in gray fog all year round. After this mountain, it is Wuzhou, which is known as the land of great evil.

After trekking all the way through the mountains and rivers, Xia Qing and his entourage finally came to Bijia Mountain on the boundary between Yanguo and Wuzhou, and there was a lonely inn in the middle of the mountain, which was the destination of Xia Qing's trip.

At the foot of the mountain, the carriage that was galloping all the way finally stopped, Shi Xuanxuan and Hong Qishao raised their eyes and looked into the distance, amazed by the majesty and steepness of Beacon Mountain, but Xia Qing rushed all the way up the mountain. When he was a child, he went to Wuzhou to recuperate in poor health, lived in the mountain inn for a long time, helped his aunt herd sheep, drove a group of goats around every day, and was familiar with every grass and trees here. It's been almost three years.

Three years is not a long time, and it is not a short time. The inn seems to be even more broken, the words 'Shanren Inn' on the door are almost eroded by the wind and rain to the point that they are unrecognizable, and the blind old shopkeeper is still the same, lying on the bamboo chair outside the door and basking in the sun.

"Auntie, aunt ......"

Xia Qing rushed into the inn like a gust of wind, and as soon as she entered the door, she looked for her aunt Yu Qiniang.

No one answered, the bartender Tang was drunk with half a glass, and poured himself a drink alone; the cook Zhao Dazui was sleeping, snoring and sleeping soundly; Lu Maniac was striking iron in the backyard, and a nail could play with it for a month. I haven't been here for three years, and the inn is still the same.

"Auntie......"

Xia Qing looked for Yu Qiniang everywhere, and was accustomed to the eccentricity of Tang Banbei and Zhao Dazui and others, in this mountain man inn, except for the old shopkeeper and aunt Yu Qiniang, there was almost no normal person. Even, Xia Qing sometimes feels that the old shopkeeper and aunt are also weird.

After looking inside and outside the inn, Xia Qing still didn't see her aunt, Tang Banbei and the others turned a deaf ear, and finally the old shopkeeper who was basking in the sun couldn't stand it, "Qing'er, don't scream, your ears are going to be called deaf by you, your aunt went out to collect medicine." ”

"How long have you been there?" Xia Qing asked.

The old shopkeeper didn't raise his head, "I don't know, anyway, your aunt is either refining medicine in the inn, or going out to collect medicine." ”

"Then when will you come back?" Xia Qing asked again.

"I don't know. ”

The old shopkeeper was basking in the sun, "She will come back when it's time to come back, by the way, Qing'er, why did you come here suddenly?"

"I miss you, I miss Uncle Tang's wine, the braised pork with a big mouth, the windmill of the madman, and the story of the old shopkeeper. Xia Qing blinked, came to Wuzhou to take refuge, of course he was embarrassed to say such a humiliating thing, and the old shopkeeper and others would never admit it when they knew about it.

"Lie to the ghost, the old man pinched his fingers, you kid must be in trouble again. "The old shopkeeper obviously doesn't believe it, you can believe three points in other people's words, but Xia Qing's words can't be believed in half a point.

"Those who know me, the old shopkeeper is also. ”

Xia Qing smiled, walked to the edge of the cliff next to the inn, and shouted loudly to the foggy mountains, "Auntie, aunt...... Aunt ......"

In the thick fog, the mountains were stacked, and Xia Qing's cry continued to echo in the mountains, spreading far away. After breaking through the prohibition of life and igniting the fire in his heart, the voice traveled farther. After a while, there was a response from my aunt Yu Qiniang in the distance, and the voice sounded at least twenty or thirty miles away, and the next moment, the voice was five miles away; and in the blink of an eye, a fair woman walked out of the fog, carrying a medicine basket in her hand, and it was more than ten meters away in one step.

"Qing'er, it's really you, I miss my aunt. ”

Yu Qiniang returned to the inn like a gust of wind, and hugged Xia Qing up, her full chest squeezed Xia Qing almost out of breath, as if she was worried that someone would snatch Xia Qing away as soon as she let go.

"Auntie......" Xia Qing blushed a little.

Yu Qiniang looked down at Xia Qing, and suddenly understood something, "Haha, my Qing'er has grown up, hahaha......"

Yu Qiniang laughed, and when she saw Xia Qing, she seemed to forget all her troubles. Smiling and smiling, his face suddenly sank, and he sensed the fluctuation of the heart fire in Xia Qing's body, "Qing'er, have you broken through the prohibition of life and ignited the heart fire?"

"Hmm!"

Xia Qing nodded, pinched the sword trick in his hand and sacrificed the second heart sword, "The chief manager of Zhao in the Xia Wangfu turned out to be Zhao Xun, the leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, and he helped me break through, aunt, you see, the big butler Zhao also sent me a heart sword to protect me." ”

"Heart Sword?"

"This thing, who wants him to meddle in his affairs? It's just a matter of meddleling, and he also uses the Dafa of Cultivating Hearts to plant humane seeds in Qing'er's body, damn it! Where is that old guy Zhao Xun, waiting at the foot of the mountain, isn't it? Hmph, if you don't catch his soul out to refine medicine, the old lady can't swallow this breath!"

Yu Qiniang stomped her feet, gritted her teeth and swept towards the foot of the mountain, looking like she was going to fight hard with Zhao Da Butler.

Xia Qing was stunned, unable to understand what was going on. I thought of sacrificing the second heart sword to make Yu Qiniang happy, but I didn't expect that my aunt would be furious.

The old shopkeeper sighed again and again, and he had no interest in continuing to bask in the sun, "Qing'er, hurry, go and stop your aunt, otherwise something will happen!"

"Good!"

Xia Qing also panicked, knowing how terrible her aunt's anger was, and hurriedly went down the mountain to chase Yu Qiniang.
