Qiuqiu slept in a daze, listening to someone talking outside.

She had not slept deeply, and when she heard the slightly urging voice, she instinctively listened.

She heard Shi'er asking, "...... It's true? When is it? ”

The other man's voice was not audible, and Shi'er continued, "Got it, I'll go over now." ”

What happened?

Qiuqiu sat up, pulled her clothes over her shoulders, and when she bent down to put on her shoes, Shi'er had already opened the door.

"Awake?"

"What's going on?"

"It's Mingyuan." "He's been missing for a whole day and a night. ”

Qiuqiu was stunned: "Brother Mingyuan? He's been heard from again? ”

"Yes." Shi'er said, "When Elder Zheng asked people to bring him medicine, he found that he was gone. This decoction was used to nourish his body, and he needed to take it every day, and the time could not be wrong. The disciple who delivered the medicine couldn't find him and returned to Elder Zheng, and the others also searched for him, but they couldn't find his whereabouts. ”

"Yes...... Is there any urgent need to go out? ”

"He didn't go out, but there was no news, no one could find him, so I went out to have a look."

Qiuqiu had already changed her shoes and pulled her hair away: "I'll go with you." ”

Qiuqiu didn't know much about the situation of Jiufeng, but Shi'er was the peak master, since the people from the door did not go down the mountain to go out, they suddenly lost their traces within the gate, so it is estimated that something abnormal happened.

"What could have happened to him?"

"Even if you are in retreat, you shouldn't be unable to find his whereabouts." Shi'er seemed to have made a decision in his heart, and he did not hesitate, and when he walked out of the door of Fengxian Pavilion, he summoned his hand in the air.

A spirit bird flew in and landed in front of them.

The sky was not yet fully bright, and the night breeze carried a cool feeling, blowing cold on people's cheeks.

Qiuqiu's cheeks were blown red, and the sound of the spirit bird flapping its wings seemed so regular, flying towards the target without hesitation.

Qiuqiu brushed her hair with her hand and asked softly, "Where are we going?" ”

"Go to Ninth Peak."

"...... Nine peaks? ”

Qiuqiu raised her head.

She has also heard about some of the situation of the Nine Peaks in the past few days, and not every peak of the Nine Peaks now has a palm peak. Among the people she recognized, Shi'er was the peak master, that is, the palm of the first peak. Lin Su, Guan Wei, Ji Yunting, and one Zhangfeng have been in retreat, and she has not seen them. Even if you count her, that's only six people, and there are three vacancies.

Among them, the palm peak of the ninth peak is vacant.

Mingyuan, how did you go to the Ninth Peak?

"Did he go on his own?"

Shi'er shook his head: "After the death of the previous peak master of the ninth peak, the affairs will be managed by an elder, and it is possible that it will ...... It was he who chose Mingyuan and asked him to accept the inheritance of the ninth peak. ”

"The Ninth Peak seems to be very mysterious."

Compared to the seventh peak, which no one can find, the ninth peak is of course much better, at least others can find it. However, compared with other peaks, the status of the ninth peak is also like that of a hermit, rarely coming forward to undertake any affairs, obscurity, and quietly. The disciples and disciples of the Nine Peaks rarely mentioned the Ninth Peak at all, so Qiuqiu could be said to know nothing about the Ninth Peak.

"The Ninth Peak is important." Qiuqiu's hand wrapped around Shi'er's waist, and Shi'er gently put her hand on the back of her hand: "Do you remember the executioner you saw last time?" ”

Qiuqiu sighed.

Those people are so impressive, you can't forget them once you see them.

"Could it be...... Are they the people of the Ninth Peak? ”

"Yes." Shi'er said: "Even if I am the peak master, once I violate the door rules, they will come forward to punish them mercilessly, and they will never follow their own interests." ”

That's a real iron-faced selflessness.

Although ordinary people still say: The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people. But that's just talking, of course, the prince can't be guilty of the same crime as the common people. But here in Jiufeng, in front of those executioners, if the peak master violates the rules of the door and makes a big mistake, the executioners will treat him like an ordinary doorman.

No wonder the Ninth Peak is so mysterious!

"Peak Nine is also in charge of other affairs, just like the Trials Cave we used to visit."

Oh, not only in terms of judicial and criminal law, but also in the maintenance of logistics infrastructure.

The speed of the spirit bird became faster and faster, like an arrow breaking through the air.

A red sun jumped out of the top of the mountain in the east, and Qiuqiu's eyes were suddenly filled with golden light. She instinctively squinted.

Shi'er's voice was blown to his ears: "It's here." ”

Qiuqiu struggled to open her eyes and look up.

Ninth Peak...... Peak...... This?

There are no peaks in sight.

She looked down a little further and there was a gentle slope below—and then she saw a deep chasm. The crack split the entire hillside in half.

The spirit bird folded its wings and plunged headlong into the deep chasm like a shuttle.

What a cheat! What about the peaks that are good?

If there is no peak, the slope is not impossible...... But why is the ninth peak, not only is it not a peak, it is actually a ditch!

It's obviously a ditch, but it's called Feng, which is too untrue, and it's even more deceptive than selling dog meat on a sheep's head.

What did the predecessors who came up with the name think at that time? Obviously it's a ditch and it's actually named Feng, do you think that the eight peaks and one ditch don't sound as catchy as the nine peaks?

The spirit bird threw itself into the crack, and all the light in front of it suddenly disappeared, as if it had suddenly flipped from day to night, and it was pitch black in front of it, and nothing could be seen.

The temperature of the wind blowing on the body also dropped sharply, just like the cold wind blowing from the cold winter wax moon, cutting the face like a knife. Qiuqiu shuddered, and a warm heat had already come from Shi'er's palm, which instantly enveloped her whole body.

The lower the spirit bird became, the darker it became, and then there was no light at all.

Qiuqiu felt a little worried in her heart, it was so dark in front of her that she couldn't see anything. Even if it wasn't so dark and fast, it would be impossible to see the surrounding scenery clearly.

Qiuqiu looked up, and the glimmer of light above her head became faint and faint, and soon she couldn't see it anymore.

The spirit bird has not yet fallen to the bottom, how deep is this ditch?

Qiuqiu clutched Shi'er's hand tightly, and suddenly remembered what she had heard someone else say a few days ago: "Ninth Peak...... Seems to be a forbidden place? ”

She only heard two small talks at the time, and she didn't take it to heart at the time, but now she suddenly remembered.

Is it inappropriate for her to come so rashly? It won't cause any trouble.

The spirit bird has finally fallen to the bottom.

Qiuqiu could barely see anything in such darkness. As the saying goes, she can't see her fingers, and in such a dark ink, she really can't see her fingers.

If it weren't for Shi'er holding her hand tightly, she wouldn't dare to move at all.

How could the Ninth Peak be such a place?

Don't people who live here see things with their eyes?

This short period of time has already made Qiuqiu feel like a year.

It's not only dark, it's so quiet, there's no sound at all.

Qiuqiu wanted to ask for words, but she didn't know how to speak in such silence.

"Let's ...... Don't you go forward? ”

Shi'er whispered, "Wait. ”

What are you waiting for? And so on? Or wait for someone?

With Shi'er by his side, Qiuqiu finally felt a little more steady.

She unconsciously clenched Shi'er's hand tighter.

I got used to the darkness, and I didn't panic so much. Although Qiuqiu couldn't observe the environment, she could still sense something that she had just overlooked.

There is some smell here.

I can't tell what the smell is, it's very faint.

It is said that it is inevitable that the water will return to the tide under this deep stream that does not see the light of day, even if there is a formation, but the formation can not completely block the air, and there will definitely be a tide. But the wind that blows here is cold, but it is dry.

That faint taste...... She remembered, something like grass.

Smelling the fresh scent of grass in such darkness certainly makes people feel a little more relaxed.

Shi'er is the peak master, in his own sect, there are still people and things that can make him wait for him like this, it can be seen that the ninth peak is indeed worthy of the name of the forbidden land.

After a long time, Shi'er held her hand and gently said, "It's here." ”

Qiuqiu subconsciously straightened her waist and raised her head.

She didn't see or hear anything, though.

A human voice came from the darkness not far ahead: "Peak Lord." ”

Shi'er responded: "Elder Zhou." ”

A little green light lit up, illuminating a place around Qiuqiu where they were now standing.

"The peak master's intention is old and understandable."

"Mingyuan has already started the trial?"

Elder Zhou was silent.

What trials?

Qiuqiu immediately remembered.

It's the trial of the Palm Peak Inheritance, right?

She was a little surprised.

Doesn't it mean that among the disciples of Jiufeng, the disciples of the same generation only have one chance to become the head of the peak?

Mingyuan, didn't he participate in the trial with Lin Su a long time ago?

Could it be that the ninth peak is different?

Most likely.

The ninth peak is not even a peak, and the inheritance of the palm peak is probably different from the palm peak next to it.

"This is Qiu Zhangfeng?"

Qiuqiu was stunned for a moment.

Everyone else called her a girl, vague, although polite, but also with a certain sense of distance.

This Elder Zhou directly used the title of his previous life.

Qiuqiu slapped slowly before responding: "Yes." ”

Elder Zhou slowly took two steps forward, approaching the light from the darkness.

He was wearing the gray robe of the executioner he had seen in Qiuqiu, and he looked very quaint. The whole person hung his head slightly, he couldn't see his face clearly, and suddenly there was such a person in front of him, Qiuqiu was really a little uncomfortable.

"The old man has a few words to say, Qiuzhangfeng, please come with me."

Qiuqiu was a little surprised.

This Elder Zhou obviously hadn't seen her before, otherwise his tone wouldn't have seemed so rusty when they met just now.

Since there was no friendship before, what did Elder Zhou want to say to her?

Qiuqiu couldn't help but glance at Shi'er.

"Just go, I'll be waiting for you here."

Qiuqiu felt a little more down-to-earth because of his words.

She took a step forward, and the green light above her moved with her,
