Zhang Zhao's face was red, and she suddenly came to her senses: "What are you thinking? I'll let you help me look at others, Jiuyou doesn't have such clean water, of course you can't miss it in vain." ”

The two of them walked along the shore to the source of Jingxin Lake, looking at the lake in front of them, Nie Wanqing's face was flushed, and he waved his hand to drive Zhang Zhao away: "You go farther, if someone comes over, call me." ”

Although it was a few zhang away, Zhang Zhao's scattered soul sense could clearly detect that Nie Wanqing's wide clothes were taken into the water, and even the small bulges on her skin that were stirred up by the cool lake water could be seen at a glance.

The perfect ** was clearly reflected in the sea of knowledge, but Zhang Zhaochu's wildly beating heart gradually slowed down, and a soft smile appeared on his face, quietly guarding Nie Wanqing, who was playing in the lake.

"You can see it. Nie Wanqing, who had changed into new clothes, turned around slightly. Her black hair drooped with droplets, her shoulders curled elegantly curved, her well-fitting feather coat set off the delicate curves of her body, and the red feather-like skirts hung down densely, spreading out to all sides like a blood phoenix with the movement of turning.

The appreciation in Zhang Zhao's eyes made Nie Wanqing feel proud: "How is it? Zhang Zhao smiled and nodded: "Of course, I don't see who made this dress." ”

Early the next morning, there was a heavy and muffled sound from outside the dwelling of the Nine Shadows, and Yan Wuxi went out and saw a huge beast four or five feet tall striding closer, and immediately shouted loudly: "Be careful, the beast tide is going up the mountain." ”

The Nine Shadow Cultivators jumped out of the house one after another, and were just about to line up to fight when they saw Zhang Zhao riding on the back of the Scorpion Dragon Beast: "Everyone, don't you want to be bored here, Old Yan, haven't you wanted to have a good meal for a long time?" Mr. Zhuo, please take you to the lake first." Then he generously stretched out his hand to meet Nie Wanqing: "Come, let's go around the woods first, and bring some good wine back by the way." ”

Under everyone's gaze, Nie Wanqing calmly stepped onto the back of the scorpion dragon beast, and waited for Zhang Zhao to run far away before he reprimanded in a low voice: "Zhang Zhangzhao, it's not good for you to do this." Others have seen ......"

"I owe it to you, no matter what happens in the future, at least today, I will give you everything I can now. Nie Wanqing's heart was warm, and when she saw the two cute monkeys waiting in the woods, she put everything aside: "Okay, you owe me anyway." ”

Xiaobai was extremely affectionate to Nie Wanqing, letting her caress the snow-white and soft long hair on her body, and offering delicious fresh fruits from time to time, which made her laugh again and again. The two of them picked a lot of wild fruits in the forest, and then hung several large gourds full of wine on the waist of the scorpion dragon beast, and then hurried back to the lake.

Except for a few ghost kings and Zhuo Xuhan, the rest of Jiuyou couldn't wait to catch fish in person, they stood on the raft and clung to the branches of the trees in a hurry to stab into the lake, and from time to time someone was squeezed into the water, shouting and being pulled up by their companions.

After eating grilled fish and tasting fine wine, several ghost kings stood together and watched those young people play in the lake. Zhang Zhao was about to ride the scorpion dragon beast to Snow Peak with Nie Wanqing, and Zhuo Xuhan, who was standing alone by the lake looking at Qinglian, beckoned and shouted, "Boy, come here." ”

"It's not easy for me to talk about this matter, since you have the opportunity to listen to it now, don't force it if you can't do it. Zhang Zhao saw Zhuo Xuhan's face was embarrassed and hurriedly bowed his hand: "Mr. Zhuo, why be polite, you have the grace of reinvention for the younger generation and Lingxiao, as long as you can do it, Zhang Zhao will obey your fate." ”

Zhuo Xuhan sighed lightly: "I remember the last time we met, I laughed at you for only earning a few hundred immortal crystals, and I didn't want even me to run around for immortal crystals." ”

"You know that I have to exchange an immortal yuan every year to renew the life of Xian Xian, and those immortal crystals are earned from a few transactions under my control. Originally, it has been quite stable, but this year, Wuxuanshang has been fighting, and even the business that usually makes the most money is not good. ”

"I barely scraped together eight hundred immortal crystals, but the current immortal yuan requires one thousand two hundred immortal crystals to buy, and I can't find a seller after running around. I heard that you once won a bet of ten immortal yuan in Hongfu City, and you also came to live with those wealthy families, I want to ask you to come forward to exchange for an immortal yuan for urgent use, as for the poor immortal crystals, I will definitely find a way to make up for it in the future. ”

Zhuo Xuhan smiled bitterly when he saw Zhang Zhao's expression: "It may be easy to grab it with my ability, but it is really hard to find a good solution if you haven't woken up for many years." I want to clean the way of the immortal yuan I use, so that I can accumulate blessings and eliminate disasters for her. ”

The first person in the past Wuxuan fell into such a predicament, Zhang Zhao couldn't help but feel sad: "Mr. Zhuo wait, I'll come when I go." He smiled apologetically at Nie Wanqing next to the scorpion dragon beast, and stood up and volleyed away.

Zhuo Xuhan thought that he was going to discuss the matter of exchanging for the immortal yuan, but who knew that Zhang Zhao had returned soon after, and he took out a jade box with a faint yellow light from his arms and offered it with both hands: "Mr. Zhuo, I told the head that this immortal yuan is for you." ”

Zhang Zhao and Nie Wanqing had just climbed the snow peak, and the melodious sound of bells and drums came from the direction of Lingxiao. There is absolutely no possibility that the enemy will attack when hundreds of Yin and Yang cultivators gather on the mountain, and it seems that either the distinguished guests are coming to the door, or there is important news coming back from the front.

When the two of them came back on the Scorpion Dragon Beast, the cultivators of various factions had already gathered in Lingxiao Square, and Nie Wanqing put away her smile and walked to her father's side.

Others didn't think anything of it, but the girls of Xianyanmen were saddened when they saw the radiant red feather coat on her body.

In addition to teaching magic etiquette, one of the most important lessons in Xianyanmen is to identify the advantages and disadvantages of various types of clothing, accessories, and jewelry. Nie Wanqing was only dressed in black when she first came, but now she has this rare feather coat with exquisite runes, thinking back to what she saw yesterday, of course she can think of something to do with Zhang Zhao.

Chang Qingzi's voice was loud: "Fellow Daoists, news has just come that the beast tide has entered the territory of the Xuanmu Domain for more than six hundred miles. Everywhere he went, the sect towns had been lost, and now they were less than a hundred miles away from Aoki Castle. ”

"Now that Aoki City has sealed the gates on three sides, leaving only the east gate to transport armor and firearms, I have discussed with several sect masters, the stakes are so important that it is not appropriate to wait, tomorrow we will get up and rush to Aoki City, work together, and vow to retreat from the beast tide. ”

In addition to the cultivators, many merchants in the other towns of the Xuanmu Domain took the initiative to send immortal crystal medicinal materials, and there were even thousands of middle-aged men waiting at the bottom of the mountain with carts.

Every day, Lingxiao would send people to send a steady stream of crossbow arrows, fire, oil, grain and grass collected from all over the world to Aoki City, and it was of course much more convenient to have the help of these people, and the endless flow of transportation teams had not stopped for a moment since a month ago.

The scene of hundreds of Yin Yang cultivators volleying in the air is rare, and the people who saw all this along the way all raised their arms and shouted excitedly, when there was a rumbling sound behind them, and a huge scorpion dragon beast dragged more than a hundred young people sitting on the cart roaring past.

"Brother Zhang Zhao, why didn't you ride it when you went to Jiuyou last time? This guy is really amazing. Ye Qinghe, Yan Wuxi and the others stood on the board car and looked around: "It's much faster than us." ”

"You people are really not growing, except for Xiang Qiufeng and Senior Brother Lu, you don't even have a yin and yang realm, it's really embarrassing. Nie Wanqing stroked Xiaobai's supple long hair beside her and sneered: "If it weren't for you, Zhang Zhangzhao wouldn't have to run on the ground." ”

Ye Qinghe coughed heavily: "It's true that we don't grow, but Senior Sister Nie, you have a wrong sentence, Brother Zhang Zhao definitely didn't run on the ground just for us." ”

Yan Wuxi squeezed his eyebrows and laughed: "Xiao Ye, you just said it wrong, Senior Sister Nie thinks we are an eyesore, if we weren't here, she wouldn't have to sit here......" Seeing Nie Wanqing looking at him with a red face, he didn't care: "Even this monkey can see who Brother Zhang Zhao is better for." ”

Stretching out his hand to stroke the long monkey hair, Xiao Bai, who refused to leave with Nie Wanqing, immediately turned around vigilantly, bared his teeth and whispered at Yan Wuxi. Nie Wanqing stroked the top of Xiaobai's head: "Good monkey, it turns out that you can also see that he is a bad person." ”

Zhang Zhao couldn't help but interject and shouted: "I don't know what's wrong with this monkey, I've never seen it so close to anyone." Nie Wanqing smiled proudly: "Good monkey, you must hide well when the time comes, don't get hurt." ”

"Hey, look, it's still nodding. Yan Wuxi's gesture made Nie Wanqing suddenly think of something: "Yan Wuxi, do you just remember the things you eat and drink?

"Ouch, I really forgot if you didn't say it. Yan Wuxi reached into his arms and took out a bag of things: "Brother Zhang Zhao, we Jiuyou don't have any good things, I heard that Dao senior said that you have realized the strange magic from the demon beast Neidan, so we will find this for you." ”

Zhang Zhao caught what he had thrown over, and continued to move forward with his soul sense on the scorpion dragon beast, turning over the tightly wrapped animal skin, revealing a dark red bead the size of a fist, which could not even dispel the strong smell of blood that was blowing in his face.

"We said a lot of good things before we got it from Hu Buli, I heard that those seniors in the ghost abyss in the past unintentionally found it, it should be some kind of powerful demon beast Neidan, he used this in exchange for our ten bags of salt. ”

Ten bags of salt are not worth mentioning in the Five Heavens, but they are extremely precious in the Nine Shadows. Holding this weird Neidan in his hand, Zhang Zhao was very grateful in his heart: "Okay, then I'll take it, thank you ......." ”

"You can't just thank him, it was someone who happened to hear about you from the Dao seniors that we came up with this idea. Ye Qinghe grinned and said, "I don't know why we have to ask Lao Yan to take it, we thought that someone didn't want to see you......"

"Ye Qinghe, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute. This girl can think whatever she likes, and if you talk nonsense, you will jump down and run by yourself. This time, even Gu Yan and the others who were in the back laughed: "Senior Brother Ye, someone is angry now." ”

In less than half an hour, everyone laughed and laughed and laughed outside Aoki City, and saw the majestic city tower that was more than 30 zhang high, and many people in Jiuyou were like Zhang Zhao exclaimed when he arrived in this city at the beginning of the year.

Hundreds of years ago, in order to prevent the invasion of beasts, the two tribes of Xujiang exhausted their wealth and united the people of nearby villages and towns to build Aoki City after decades of hard work. Since then, the Xujiang family has been elected by everyone as the chief of the city, and it has continued to this day.

In the procession that came out to greet the cultivators of various sects, Jiang Cheng Zhangzhao, who was dressed in a white robe and had an elegant appearance and a long beard flowing under his chin, had seen it before. But after a long time, the city lord of Jiang couldn't recognize that this young man who entered the city with a fierce beast was the child who gave him most of his wolf legs to eat.

The walls of Aoki were thick and stretched for miles, and the thousands of crossbows and oil carts that had been sent from all over the place were still tightly placed. According to the different sects, hundreds of Yin and Yang cultivators found their positions and sat down cross-legged to condense their qi and recuperate.

They didn't come here to chat, and the two city lords of Xu Jiang were not too polite, and ordered the soldiers in the city to put tea and snacks next to everyone, and discussed with Chang Qingzi and several sect masters about ways to resist the beast tide.

Although the number of cultivators in the fallen cities was greatly inferior to the number of people in front of them, the combined strength of dozens of cities should not be underestimated. Since there is no one left behind in the beast tide, it shows that there must be unexpected things happening.

The Nine Shades cultivators were all gathered on the north side of the city wall, of course, except for the disciples of Lingxiao, no other sect would take the initiative to come over and be next to them, dozens of cultivators from the Imperial Corpse Sect were lined up on the south side of Lingxiao, and the elders of the Ruyi Pavilion sat beside Yang Feng and the others with a slight embarrassment.

Jiang Ruhai needs to take care of a lot of business every day, not to mention that with his ability, even if he comes, it will be in vain, Mo Feng sent a few people to escort him back to Hongfu City first, but he sat next to the more than 100 people he brought.

These people are tall and short, and their bodies are not huge, but their arms are thick and long. Zhang Zhao took a few glances and saw that the arms of the machine man were the two hundred crystal rune cannons that Mo Feng said.

Dozens of Mo family disciples carefully placed black balls next to the cart. These Flame God Thunder are even smaller than ordinary oil barrels, but each of them sells for five top-grade immortal crystals, and Jiang Ruhai's sentence of making up a little money is actually more than the value of ten immortal yuan.

There was a faint fishy smell in the breeze, and from time to time there were Yin and Yang cultivators at the head of the city who jumped up in the air and looked ahead. Commander Guo, who had guarded the border city, insisted on following Lingxiao and the others this time, leaning on the edge of the city and smelling it, but his expression was calm: "At least sixty miles, early." ”

There were long breathing sounds all around, and Nie Wanqing looked at the scenery outside the city, gently stroking the top of the monkey beside her. These scenes were very peaceful in Zhang Zhao's eyes, he sat cross-legged and held the black inner pill with both hands, closed his eyes and probed his soul sense into it.

"Roaring ......" There was a high-pitched beast roar in his ears, and the originally bright sea of knowledge quickly darkened, and even those shining golden words disappeared. Zhang Zhao couldn't help but retract his soul consciousness for a moment, and looked up to see that the sun was shining in the sky, and everything was still the same.

After calming his mind, Zhang Zhao once again gathered his soul sense and probed into the black inner pill, letting the beast's roar tingle his eardrums, forcibly suppressing the fear that had arisen for unknown reasons just now, and after a long time, he finally saw the longing image hidden in the darkness.

Looking up, there were beasts with dark lights shining in their eyes running wildly, Zhang Zhao moved and jumped into the middle of the herd, unable to distinguish the direction is to stride forward.
