On the morning of the seventh day of the eighth lunar month, Ruan Shaolun and Du Zhen said goodbye, and Ma Shuo also went with them, and they wanted to go back to Jingchun County to meet old friends.

After the three of them left, Hu Xianxian happily took Cheng Haofeng's hand and said, "There's nothing going on in Yizhuang, where are you going to play today?" ”

Cheng Haofeng covered half of his face with his hand and promised: "Where to play?" Just thinking about having fun. Xianxian, do you think this is your identity that should be asked? ”

"Who am I?"

Cheng Haofeng glanced at her and didn't answer. Ma Mingfeng smiled "hehe" next to him, and Hu Xianxian glared at him and crooked his mouth.

The morning sun glows hazy in the mist, and the morning sun shines like colorful ribbons around the tail feathers of birds flying around. Occasionally, the birds and finches stop on the branches to rest, and when the thin branches tremble, they roll down drops of crystal morning dew.

Ma Mingfeng was half-lying on a rattan rocking chair, looking left and right, teasing Cheng Haofeng and Hu Xianxian for a while, and then picking up the tea on the low table next to him and taking a few sips of tea.

After Hong'er boiled the medicine, he asked Cheng Haofeng to drink the medicine, but he still went to the house to hide it and drink it himself.

As soon as he entered the house, Ma Mingfeng said to Hu Xianxian and Hong'er mysteriously: "My three junior brothers are really pitiful, they don't know what a fairy day is when they have been immortals for so long. ”

The two of them looked at him suspiciously, and he said, "I've been an immortal for so long, and I don't know what the fairy days are like, but I know these two days, and the days I'm living here are called fairy days." Alas, it's a pity that the third junior brother is sick and bone-like, and he can't enjoy the ......."

Ma Mingfeng half-closed his eyes as he spoke, stilted Erlang's legs, and swayed on the rattan chair to enjoy his "fairy days".

But he didn't enjoy it long before the three people who fell from the sky made him jump up from the wicker chair in shock.

Among the three people, Qinglong Leng Qiulang was known to him, and the other two people dressed as old and young made him wonder. These two people seem to be mortals without cultivation, but what are they doing here?

Ma Mingfeng was wondering, the young alien had happily called out to Hu Xianxian: "Xianxian...... Immortal ......"

Hu Xianxian smiled politely at him, and greeted them again: "Leng Zhenren, Master Mai, Young Master Mai, please take a seat." ”

Mai Huanbu and Mai Taha sat down, and Hu Xianxian went to pour tea, not noticing that Leng Qiulang pulled Cheng Haofeng, who had just finished drinking the medicine, to the small living room and muttered something.

Hu Xianxian introduced Ma Mingfeng and Hong'er to the Mai family father and son, although the Mai family father and son were mortals, they had seen the world from south to north, and they didn't make a fuss about the strangeness of Ma Mingfeng and Hong'er, and several people talked happily.

Metaha said that the Lingshan trade route had not been restored, and that they were too impatient to wait in the border city, so they had to return to Lingzhou.

On the way back, Metaha had to worry about his father if the goods were not delivered, and he was worried about whether his sister who had run away in a bad mood was in danger, and he felt very uncomfortable.

All the way back, and all the way back thinking about how pleasant the journey was because of Hu Xianxian when he came, he had nothing but frustration when he returned.

Hu Xianxian listened quietly, but what she listened to was not the interesting story of Mataha's recollection of his companion to Lingshan, nor the loneliness of seeing things and thinking about people when he returned.

After glancing at Mai Jibu, she asked Mai Taha, "The Lingshan Trade Road has not been able to resume traffic after the avalanche?" ”

Mai Taha didn't understand why she asked this very solemnly, but Mai Jibu understood what she meant: "Miss Hu wants to ask, since there is no way to trade, how did I get from heaven to Lingzhou, right?" ”

Hu Xianxian nodded, and Mai Huanbu explained that he was very anxious after learning that Shangdao was sealed, and he was afraid that not offering spices at the specified time would make Lingshan Shenfu angry and guilty.

Mai Huanbu lived in a small village at the foot of Lingshan, fasting every day and praying for the passage of business to pass quickly, and at the same time begging the goddess of Lingshan not to condemn the Mai family.

His prayer was finally fulfilled, and half a month ago, the goddess of Lingshan sent a red-clothed envoy to say to Mai Huanbu that there was no need to offer any more spices, and the goddess would not condemn him.

It's just that in order to test whether his heart is pious, the goddess of Lingshan wants him to go to Lingshan to get something without fear of all kinds of difficulties.

Of course, Mai Huanbu agreed without hesitation, the red-clothed divine envoy let him not worry, he would protect him in secret.

It was difficult for Mai Huanbu to climb Lingshan with his old age and frail and pampered body, but the red-clothed divine envoy blessed him to climb to the top of a slope and retrieved a treasure.

As soon as that treasure was obtained, the mountain shook on the spot, and Lingshan was an avalanche again. Fortunately, as soon as the avalanche occurred, the Lingshan Priestess appeared and used her supreme mana to save Mai Huanbu.

The Lingshan Priestess and the red-clothed priestess also flew all the way and escorted Mai Huanbu to Lingzhou.

When he said this, he put his right hand on his left chest and said to heaven reverently, "I thank the goddess and the divine envoy for forgiving my sins and reuniting me with my son and daughter." ”

Hu Xianxian listened to these and speculated whether the Lingshan Divine Maiden in Mai Huanbu's mouth had escaped from Ling Ruofeng. She asked Mai Huanbu what the treasure he had retrieved looked like, and Mai Jiabu described it as a crystal clear jade pendant, which had a very warm feeling even in the snow.

Hu Xianxian knew that it was the Cold Crystal Ice Fall, and she asked Leng Qiulang if she brought them, why didn't she bring them with Mai Nasha.

Metaha pointed to the two small wooden barrels on the table and said, "Brother Leng said that he can only bring two people to fly, I want to come to see you, and my father has to bring the most authentic rose-scented wine to visit Cheng Daochang." Of course, my sister had to stay in Yingxian Pavilion to accompany the goddess and the divine envoy......"

Hu Xianxian's eyes froze, and he suddenly rushed into the small living room, so shocked that Leng Qiulang and Cheng Haofeng, who were talking about things, looked at her in a daze.

Mai Huanbu and Mai Taha were a little shocked when they saw Hu Xianxian's actions, Cheng Haofeng shook his hand at Hu Xianxian, and said to Leng Qiulang: "You take the Mai family father and son back to the city first, and I will tell them." ”

Leng Qiulang agreed and turned his head to greet the Mai family father and son, and Hu Xianxian saw that his eyes were full of anxiety and worry.

The father and son of the Mai family still didn't understand why they had to go back again after just sitting for a while, Leng Qiulang said that he was worried about Manasha, and Mataha also teased him for being lovesick after only seeing him for a moment.

After they left, Cheng Haofeng asked Hu Xianxian to call Ma Mingfeng and Hong'er into the small living room. He frowned deeply, and said to Hu Xianxian, "What did you guess when you suddenly broke in just now?" ”

"Ling Ruofeng escaped from the Ice Prison?"

Cheng Haofeng nodded and said, "Yes, the ghost king helped her escape." ”

Ma Mingfeng was still a little unclear, Cheng Haofeng said that the ghost king first pretended to be a divine envoy to find Mai Huanbu, and used his admiration for the goddess to take down the cold crystal ice pendant to change the balance of yin and yang in the cold ice prison. The ghost king took advantage of the imbalance of yin and yang and the collapse of the mountain to help Ling Ruofeng escape.

Hu Xianxian listened carefully, and when he heard this, he asked: "I know that the reason why the Ghost King does not dare to move the Cold Crystal Ice Fall by himself is that he has a strong aura, and as soon as he gets close, the person in charge of the Cold Ice Hell will realize that he must use the hands of mortals. However, how could the Ghost King help Ling Ruofeng escape? ”

Cheng Haofeng's brows tightened even tighter, and he didn't answer, but Ma Mingfeng said: "The Ghost King should have known the Fourth Senior Sister a long time ago, and the Ghost King's purpose in rescuing her was of course to force the Third Senior Brother to agree to join Zang Xuanjiao's soul." ”

Hong'er was a little puzzled when she heard this: "The lord of the country often says that his fourth senior sister is a self-disciplined and arrogant person, how could she collude with the ghost king?" ”

Hu Xianxian patted Hong'er on the shoulder and said, "You are too kind and will not think badly of people." When I met Ye Saiying, I was thinking, in her previous life, Yin Keying was a beautiful lady, and she didn't cultivate the Tao, how could she know how to turn a blood spell into a powerful ghost? I asked her a few times, and she didn't say anything......"

Hong'er was surprised: "I also knew about Yin Keying and Long Zhenren back then, but now it's really strange to think about it." Ling Ruofeng is her cousin, Yin Keying can not come into contact with many strange people, and it is likely that Ling Ruofeng is the one who taught her the method of turning into a powerful ghost. ”

Hu Xianxian nodded and said: "The method of humanizing ghosts, of course, the one who knows the most is the ghost king." ”

Cheng Haofeng said that their analysis was correct, Ling Ruofeng had saved Mai Jiabu's caravan, and after gaining the trust of the Mai family's caravan, he asked them to help carry the keel.

The ghost king found Mai Huanbu not only to borrow his hand to rescue Ling Ruofeng and let Ling Ruofeng serve him, but also to use the people of the Mai family to blackmail Leng Qiulang.

He already knew that Leng Qiulang was biased towards Cheng Haofeng's side, and he could use the Mai family to hold Leng Qiulang and Duan Mengrou with Leng Qiulang.

This ghost king wants to take the lead everywhere, but Leng Qiulang is not a person who is willing to be restrained. The ghost king asked him to send a message to Cheng Haofeng, and Cheng Haofeng was willing to compromise. Leng Qiulang took the opportunity to say that he had to bring the Mai family's father and son together to make Cheng Haofeng and them believe. The Ghost King thought that as long as Mai Nasha was in his hands, it didn't matter if he took away the Mai family's father and son.

The Ghost King didn't expect that his actions had completely angered Leng Qiulang, and Leng Qiulang, who was still wavering in many things, was completely going to break with them.

Leng Qiulang had already made up his mind to send the Mai family's father and son to the Land Temple of Guichongxu first, and then to save Manasha.

Ma Mingfeng asked: "As soon as the ghost king saw that the Mai family's father and son did not go back at the same time as Leng Qiulang, didn't he know his thoughts?" ”

Cheng Haofeng's eyebrows stretched slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Leng Qiulang is already about to make it clear that he is right with them, Senior Brother, at this moment, please go to Heaven to ask Master and Second Senior Brother for help." ”

Ma Mingfeng groaned a little and then lifted the smoke and left, and Cheng Haofeng said to Hong'er and the three of them: "I still have to bother Miss Hong'er to go back to Qingqiu Country to ask for help from the fifth junior brother." ”

Hong'er shook her head lightly, "I'm afraid it's too late to go back to Qingqiu Country for help." ”

Hu Xianxian smiled at her and said, "With me here, I can hold out until you bring reinforcements." ”

Hong'er saw that Hu Xianxian was smiling very easily, and the two Qingqiu country servants who came with her persuaded her to go back quickly to ask for help, and she hesitated and agreed.

After they all left, Hu Xianxian's face became solemn: "Haofeng, you are afraid of implicating the innocent by dividing them, right?" You tell me, what should I do? And what did you do with the formation diagram you drew yesterday? ”

Cheng Haofeng stepped forward to hug her and whispered in her ear: "Xianxian, you have to accompany me to endure hardships." ”

Hu Xianxian lightly touched his face, and he let go of her face and said, "We have to help Leng Qiulang rescue Miss Mai first, and then talk about anything else." The formation diagram was used to deal with Duan Mengrou, but I didn't expect this to happen first. ”

Cheng Haofeng asked her to go to Yingxian Pavilion in the city first to find a way to lure both the Ghost King and Ling Ruofeng to Yizhuang, and help Leng Qiulang rescue Manatha before returning to save him.

Hu Xianxian agreed to come down and flew towards the city alone. She knew that he was determined to die, and that he was going to use himself as bait in exchange for Manasha's safety. She still had to do what he had arranged, both because she had no better way and because she was convinced that he wouldn't die easily.

It was just a misty day in the morning, and now it was raining lightly. Hu Xianxian didn't use her spiritual power to avoid the rain, she wanted the cold rain to calm her anxious and angry heart.
