Yaoxian Island was gray, and it was difficult to discern the direction for a while.

Qing Ruyun walked up the long stone steps leading to the Ruoye Pavilion, and the heavy clouds were about to fall, and the white houses on the top of the mountain loomed.

Winter comes and summer, and the tables and chairs are already full of dust. Qing Ruyun inspected the courtyards along the corridor, but there was no trace of Bai Xiuning.

The huge mountain library, standing majestically above the sea, has changed the sun and moon for thousands of years, and the nebula has wandered, and it has always been silent.

As the night grew, Qing Ruyun suddenly felt a chill and didn't dare to stay here any longer. Looking far away, but seeing that there seemed to be firewood smoke curling between the cols of the north peak a few miles away, she was happy in her heart, knowing that it was Bai Xiuning.

Before he got closer, he heard a cymbal-like voice shouting, like Master, but not like Master.

No, the old man is dealing with things in Beichen, so he can't come to this island alone.

Qing Ruyun's suspicions gradually rose, and she hurriedly looked behind a big tree and looked at the flickering firelight, but heard the cymbal-like voice say: "The little doll is terrible, wow, kill people, kill people!" ”

She felt a pang in her heart, and saw Bai Xiuning's figure appear in front of the fire, and immediately ran over quickly, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Bai Xiuning was busy roasting sea fish with his hands empty, and the overflowing fish fat was dripping on the firewood, making a sizzling sound from time to time. He turned around and said lightly, "You're here." ”

And said: "What about Xiahou? ”

Qing Ruyun's heart ached, and she muttered, "Actually, I ......"

At this time, the familiar sound of broken cymbals sounded a few feet away: "Ouch, it's hard to hey, there is another ignorant female doll." ”

Qing Ruyun raised her clear eyes and looked at the place where the voice was, only to see a person wearing black hair mixed with silver threads, looking about forty years old, wearing shabby clothes that did not fit well, half-leaning and halfleaning on a boulder next to the Beishan Waterfall.

Seeing that this person's face was very angry, she didn't have time to ask in detail, so she turned around and asked Bai Xiuning in a low voice, "What about Young Master Lin and that girl?" ”

Bai Xiuning held the wooden branch, pointed to the bushes behind him, and said, "I am sleeping soundly after taking the medicine." ”

Qing Ruyun saw the corner of Lin Zhiqi's shirt after seeing the shallow grass, her breathing fluctuated steadily, she was a little relieved, and suddenly asked, "Where did you get the medicine?" ”

Bai Xiuning said: "The medicine that the girl stuffed in the palm of his hand. ”

Qing Ruyun nodded, since it was given to him by the little lady, it was naturally good, so she sat down in the open space next to Bai Xiuning, and took a string of sea fish tightly forked by branches from his hand and roasted it leisurely.

Just as she was eating deliciously, she exclaimed slightly and said, "Where is the little lady?" ”

At this moment, the sound of breaking cymbals pierced the firelight: "The little road doll is not sensible, and the old decay has been hung for a day and a night, and the small utensils are so bad that they don't even give them a stutter, and now the little doll is ......"

He grumbled, picked up a few more fruits from the ground, casually wiped the dirt off his robe, and put it in his mouth and munched on it.

Qing Ruyun threw the fish in his hand over, he immediately caught it, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the little doll can understand me, thank you!" ”

When he smiled, his black beard moved slightly, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he looked very amiable.

Qing Ruyun politely made a gesture and said: "The juniors are not sensible, and there are many slackness, so don't blame them." I don't know why the old man is floating here? ”

The man took a small sip to test the temperature of the fish, and said with a smile: "Sha Mo, just open your mouth and come, where can you see that I am old?" ”

Qing Ruyun was stunned, looked at him carefully for a while, and said: "It's the juniors who lost their words, and they don't dare to ask the seniors for their names, the juniors are Nanrongren's clan, and they linger on the island in troubled times, and they are offended, so please ask the seniors to give advice." ”

The man laughed and asked, "Are you a disciple of Old Man Dumu?" He immediately thought that the old man of Dumu had fewer disciples more than ten years ago, and he should have little relationship with the young female doll in front of him, so he asked instead: "Do you know the Qingyi doll of the Lin family?" But is she a disciple? ”

Qing Ruyun thought to herself, she didn't need to know everything about it in the future, so she said: "I do have some relationship with the girl of the Lin family, but I have never been fortunate enough to see it." ”

She felt very strange in her heart, I don't know how this old man who is not good-looking can guess her origin, and listening to his breath and breath, he is not a person who practices martial arts, how can he seem to be very familiar with the old man Dumu in his words, and generously call his senior sister Qingyi Doll? Could it be that he is Lin Qingyi's father, Zhao Qingping, the son of the Zhao family?

The man sighed and said, "Then did you learn the internal strength of the Five Tai Swords?" ”

Qing Ruyun was shocked again, just now she just casually threw the wooden branch with the fish string over, and the other party could immediately see the origin of her internal strength, which showed that her cultivation was still above herself.

Thinking about it so carefully, Qing Ruyun suddenly didn't dare to underestimate the weak old man in front of her, and her awe rose for a while, and her vigilance was even greater, and she said respectfully: "The seniors don't know, the younger generations have suffered deeply from the Kunlun Death Valley Nine Lotus San, but fortunately, they met the righteous help of the old man of Dumu, and they didn't hide their secrets, and taught me all this mental method, and the younger generation picked up this life." ”

The man nodded, threw down the fish bones and branches, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said, "You and I don't need to be called seniors and juniors when we meet, and I have only lived a few years better than you." ”

As soon as he raised his eyes, his eyes were bright, and he continued: "My surname is Zhao, and my name is Qingping. ”

Qing Ruyun's heart was shocked, and she hurriedly shook it to the ground and arched her hand: "It turned out to be Senior Zhao." ”

In detail, Zhao Qingping is the younger brother of his biological mother Zhao Changzhi, that is, her and Bai Xiuning's uncle.

She lowered her head and glanced at Bai Xiuning secretly.

Bai Xiuning didn't think so, and said, "If you want to admit your uncle, I don't care about this." ”

Suddenly, Zhao Qingping slapped his thigh, and the sound of broken cymbals started again: "Uncle!" Be obedient, uncle! ”

Qing Ruyun sighed deeply: "Junior, Bai Xitang." ”

Zhao Qingping smiled slightly and said, "Very good, very good." ”

He pointed in Lin Zhao's direction and said: "Ignorant Dao Chang Doll, I told him not to feed medicine to that male doll, but he didn't listen, and beat me up, I still can't walk!" ”

Qing Ruyun's heart was in turmoil, and she asked, "Medicine, medicine, is that medicine an antidote?" She didn't have time to think about it, ran to the back of the bushes, stretched out her finger and probed Lin Zhiqi's nose, fortunately, her breath was still there.

Returning to the fire, she added some firewood, and moved back, a little further away from the flames.

Zhao Qingping snorted coldly and said, "Dao Chang Doll has never seen the world, so I don't know that this antidote can't be taken at one time." ”

Qing Ruyun had just slowed down her mind, and when she heard his words, she immediately became nervous again.

I only heard him say again: "In the early years, my wife also suffered such an injury, which was a unique secret weapon made by the people of Cuifeng Mountain. The only one who can cure the poison of the cloud needle is the karmic fire pill of the people of Cuifeng Mountain. However, the Karmic Fire Pill is originally a thing that destroys gold and fire, that is, it is detoxification, and it must not be rushed for a while, and it must be taken for seven days and fourteen times to be able to solve the poison without any trouble. ”

Qing Ruyun hurriedly said: "What about now?" ”

Zhao Qingping said: "Once you take it, the needle poison will go away, and it is not bad." ”

Qing Ruyun sighed, secretly blaming this uncle for speaking in surprise and making a fuss.

Immediately listened to him again: "It's just a big loss of internal breath and a loss of martial arts, so it's nothing." ”

Qing Ruyun immediately jumped up, shouted, and ran back to Lin Zhiqi to help him up, destroying his internal force to help him resist the toxicity of the Karmic Fire Pill. However, as soon as he touched the big vertebral point behind him, the true qi that was scurrying around in his body was agitated back, which made Qing Ruyun unable to bear it.

Zhao Qingping's voice came from far behind the bushes: "It's useless, this person is useless, he ate it yesterday, what do you care about now?" Besides, if you use the internal strength of the Five Tai Swords to expel the poison of his karmic fire pill, then what about the poison of the Suyun Needle in his body, and what will he use to solve it then? Don't bother with it! ”

Qing Ruyun sighed, put Lin Zhiqi down and lay down, smoothed his breath for him, and saw that his breathing was getting smoother, thinking that the most dangerous time had already passed.

She drooped her head and returned to Bai Xiuning's side, Bai Xiuning handed her a bunch of food, and the other hand rummaged through the wooden branches, disapproving.

Qing Ruyun said: "It's okay, it's no wonder you." ”

Bai Xiuning suddenly turned his head and said, "What's wrong with me?" ”

He glanced at Zhao Qingping and continued, "Does he say whatever he wants?" Heh, you said that you were going to kill Xiahou, but you didn't see it. ”

sighed, and said: "When I came to the island the day before yesterday, I saw that the white houses on the mountain were too conspicuous, so I came to this backmountain firewood courtyard. Not far from here, there is a large natural pit beside the waterfall, and there is no bottom in sight, but I heard someone shouting all the time, thinking that he had stumbled and fell. However, the cliffs of the sinkhole were full of dissolved stones, and I had no strength to borrow, so I scraped a lot of bark and rolled it into a rope and dragged him up. ”

Qing Ruyun couldn't help but ask: "This place was originally the secret place of Ruoye Pavilion, why did the predecessors come here and fall into the cave again?" ”
