Qin Yi quietly looked at the young female cultivator who was busy lighting the fire in front of her, and for a long time—in fact, she just stared at it for a moment, but she felt that she had been watching Lin Huaizhu for a long time—and asked again: "You are a spiritual cultivator, why did you save me?" ”

A few days ago, she ventured into Huaiyang City to replenish the pills and runes, and in order not to expose her identity as a demon cultivator, she deliberately wore a black robe and cloak to cover herself tightly, so as not to be seen through.

Originally, everything was going well, but when she was about to leave the city, the city suddenly became heavily guarded, and search and arrest operations were carried out everywhere.

At first, Qin Yi wanted to avoid and avoid the crowd, but I didn't know which sect it was a little disciple, and when he saw her dressed like this, he felt suspicious, and stepped forward to stop her, which led to her demon cultivator's identity being exposed.

In the end, she was chased and intercepted by a group of monks, and she had to fight to escape from Huaiyang City with her injuries, and finally chose the nearest mountain to hide in a panic.

Her injuries were not serious, but she was already suffering from a long-standing illness, which was triggered by this injury, causing her to pass out on the edge of the waterfall before she could hide herself and medicate herself.

When she woke up again, she found that the injured area had been treated, and in front of her was a young nun who seemed to have no malice towards her, and she probably knew that the nun in front of her had saved her, and she had somehow hidden the people who were chasing her.

Otherwise, she lay here for a long time, why didn't she hear any movement, except for the "rustling" sound of the wind blowing leaves, and the movement of insects and birds in the deep mountains and dense forests, there was no sound on the side.

It's just that Qin Yi is very puzzled, the contradiction between spiritual cultivation and demon cultivation is deepening day by day, why would she save herself?

"Why did I save you?" Lin Huaizhu was stunned for a moment, thought carefully for a moment, and replied seriously, "It's probably because I'm in a good mood today." ”

Qin Yi listened to this obvious reason for nonsense, the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching, and she looked at her blankly, speechless for a while.

What is the explanation for this?

Lin Huaizhu knew that she must be very confused at the moment, but she couldn't give an answer, because the person who wanted to save her was not her, but Yin Li, so she could only casually talk about a reason that was not very distracting.

"You should go, my roast chicken is suitable for two people, but it doesn't have your share." Knowing that she didn't believe it, Lin Huaizhu didn't bother to make up a reasonable explanation, so he simply drove her away, so that even nonsense could be saved.

Besides, she had just sent Lin Haochen to pick wild fruits and vegetables, and she might come back at any time, Lin Huaizhu didn't want Lin Haochen to have any contact with the demon cultivator, so it was better to let her go as soon as possible.

It turned out that not long after the female demon cultivator woke up, Lin Haochen watched the sun come back at the agreed time, and he was still carrying a three-color chicken in his hand, which was the demon beast he faced off today.

Lin Huaizhu, who was thinking about how to persuade the female demon cultivator to leave, saw him come back at this time, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he hurriedly used the excuse he had thought of in advance, asked him to put down the things in his hand and urged him to pick wild fruits and wild vegetables, and his anxious appearance made Lin Haochen feel strange.

He remembered that Lin Huaizhu didn't like to eat wild vegetables very much......

Lin Haochen had no choice but to follow what his aunt said with a puzzled face.

It was precisely because of this that Lin Huaizhu bought a little time for himself, and when Lin Haochen did not come back, he urged the female demon cultivator to leave here quickly.

Qin Yi knew that it was inconvenient for her to have too much contact with herself as a spiritual cultivator, not to mention that she was still on the run, in case the group of people who were searching for her turned back halfway and happened to bump into them and appear together, the young female cultivator in front of her was only afraid that she would be implicated, and she couldn't argue.

So she nodded silently and left without saying a word.

Seeing her leave, Lin Huaizhu sat on the big stone by the stream, picked up a slender branch in his hand, knocked on the weeds for a while, and said boredly: "Yin Xiaoli, can you explain to me the reason for saving her?" ”

Yin Li actually didn't want to hide it from her, and said very happily when she heard the words: "Nine hundred years ago, she was the one who led me into the Demon Dao. ”

"......" Lin Huaizhu wondered if he had heard it wrong, and subconsciously repeated, "Nine hundred years ago? ”

"Hmm."

"Then she's your master?"

"It's not...... Sort of. Yin Li said ambiguously, "I was ...... back then When I left the master's gate, I was in a situation where I was shouted and beaten by everyone in the cultivation world at that time, and it was she who saved me and told me that in addition to cultivating immortals, there was also a way to cultivate demons, so that I would not have no way out, so she had a kindness to me, and I should repay her today. ”

Hearing Yin Li mention the past, Lin Huaizhu didn't ask any further, she looked at the roast chicken on the fire stand, and turned it carefully, so as not to let it burn.

Just waited in place for a while, about half an hour, Lin Huaizhu and the others were about to doze off, and before Lin Haochen's figure appeared, she was a little impatient to wait, and muttered in a low voice: "Why did he go to pick a fruit for so long?" ”

She couldn't wait to break off a piece of chicken wings and eat it.

"Changge, I always feel that something is wrong." Yin Li released her divine sense to probe, and when she took it back, she saw her sitting in front of the fire eating chicken wings, and said helplessly, "...... Don't eat it! Didn't you notice anything wrong? ”

"What's wrong?" Lin Huaizhu finished eating the meat and threw the chicken bones into the grass, cleaned himself up, and answered.

"I could still hear insects and birds chirping here before, why did it suddenly quiet down, there was no noise at all, some quiet was unusual!"

Hearing Yin Li say this, Lin Huaizhu noticed these abnormal places, frowned and looked around, listened to it for a while, and really felt that the mountain was too quiet, and at the moment his eyes narrowed, he collected the roast chicken on the shelf smoothly, and said decisively: "You are right, Wanggui Mountain suddenly became so quiet, it is indeed a little unusual, I don't know if there is any vision in the mountain, I am afraid that something will happen to Chen'er, let's go look for him." ”

Yin Li responded to her words with an "um", and saw that Lin Huaizhu first left a message in the same place and covered it with a stone, and then walked into the dense forest.

Her message was for Lin Haochen, and she had taught Lin Haochen to recognize the marks she had made, so that the two could connect with each other through these when they were separated.

Different symbols mean different things, and the signs she left now mean that if the surroundings are safe, he will come back before her, just wait for her in the same place, and if there is any danger, leave quickly, and save her life.

She didn't know what the specific reason for Lin Haochen to come back for so long was, maybe she was lost for a while, or maybe she was tripped by something, in short, she couldn't rule out the possibility that she had just gone out to look for him on the front foot, and he came back on the back foot, so she still made a mark just in case, so as not to miss each other.

Lin Huaizhu walked in the direction that Lin Haochen had left before, and after entering the center of the forest, she looked at the woods that looked similar in all directions, and could only choose the direction with her intuition, during which she carefully searched for traces of people walking, so as to identify the possibility of Lin Haochen passing.

As the sun gradually shifted to the west, the already cold forest became even darker, and Lin Huaizhu had been around it for an hour, from left to right, from south to north, but no clues were found, and he couldn't help but feel a little impetuous.

"Chang Xiaoge, look, what is that?!"

Yin Li knew that her temperament was not the kind of person who was careful and stable, so she also helped to find it together, and finally after they entered the forest for an hour, she found a red object next to the root of a tree, which was also the only harvest, Yin Li hurriedly said to her.

Lin Huaizhu followed the direction Yin Li said to look for it, and finally saw this thing, she picked it up and found that it was a red long knot.

"It's like a long knot I've woven for Dust...... So he was here before! Lin Huaizhu held the long knot and looked left and right around here.

"Long song! Do you see if the grass here has been crushed? Yin Li focused on the grass around it from the place where the long knot fell, and soon found a second clue.

Lin Huaizhu also found out at this moment, she pursed her lips, her eyes were heavy and she looked down without saying a word along the traces of the weeds being pressed into a straight line, and finally stayed in the bottomless shadow on the west side of the forest, and walked in this direction in a moment.

Because he didn't know what would happen next, and he didn't know what Lin Zi would see when he walked down, Lin Huaizhu held the rune in his hand and was highly vigilant around him.

She had thought that going in this direction would end up being a place she had never been, but when she came out of the woods and found that she had been here, her eyes widened and she looked ahead with some suspicion.

How could it be here?

Lin Huaizhu stood at the edge of the forest and looked around, the north direction was twenty zhang away from her was a mountain wall, in front of the wall piled up a few stones of different sizes that grew naturally, there were a few cracks on the wall, and there were weeds growing everywhere in the cracks, the roots were firmly rooted in the stone wall, but the body was trying to stretch upward.

To the south, there is a winding path that leads to a mountain trail at the end of the road, and in the middle of the forest is a flat field with weeds.

The reason why Lin Huaizhu recognized this place was because Lin Haochen had fought against the first-order demon beasts here in the first few days.

"What's going on?" Lin Huaizhu looked around a little confused, "Could it be that the forest is being lost?" That's why I got here? ”

A maze is a formation that can interfere with the monk's direction, and can cause people to lose their way unconsciously and eventually reach the wrong place.

"No, it's not a maze." Yin Li looked at the scene in front of him and said with certainty, "You're not wrong, this is the place to go down from the west side of the forest!" ”

Then Lin Huaizhu is even more strange, if the direction to the west of the forest is right, what about Lin Maochen? Where is he? If he wasn't here, he was taken in a different direction while he was still in the woods?

Now Lin Huaizhu can only guess, the drag mark she found before is gone to the middle part, and she has also carefully searched in the four directions, but she has found nothing, it feels as if Lin Haochen disappeared out of thin air.

If that's the case, then someone must have taken it away from Edgeworth.

However, Lin Huaizhu only had this idea in her mind for a moment, and she quickly overturned it for herself.

The disappearance of Mu Ling'er came out, and the mountains near Huaiyang City are now surrounded by monks, not even a bird is spared, if someone flies with Lin Haochen's Imperial Sword, it is impossible for no one to find out, plus this is the moment when Mu Ling'er is gone, and the Imperial Sword is still dragging a big living person, which will definitely attract the attention of others.

It can be regarded as a coincidence that this person is in a hurry, usually there are not so many monks in Huaiyang City, and it would be good if the number of them could surround a mountain.

But who asked Mu Zhen to recruit his son-in-law some time ago and invited many old friends to come over to drink the wedding wine, which led to the monks everywhere in Huaiyang City.

In fact, it is normal to think about it, Mu Zhen is this one daughter, and it is a lifelong event to marry a double monk, he has long thought about holding a grand wedding banquet in order to make his beloved daughter beautiful, for which he sent a wide invitation, and all those who have a little friendship have been invited by him, and he has notified his close friends half a year in advance, and the number of monks who have drunk wine is really a lot.

Although the wedding banquet did not work out in the end, Mu Zhen is worthy of being the city lord for many years, and the guests have already been invited away if there is such a thing in the other family.

So this group of monks has been living in the City Lord's Mansion these days, and they haven't left until now, so they can come over in time to help find Mu'er's traces when something happened.

So, where did Lin Haochen go?

Lin Huaizhu frowned and looked at this piece of contemplation.
