Taking Qi Xiaomei on the road is actually not a particularly troublesome thing, this girl has been following the caravan to the north and south as a guard in the past few years, and she can't be regarded as a child herself, in some ways, she has even more travel experience than the Jade Cicada Daoist. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Moreover, Tianyou also found that this girl's enthusiasm seems to show itself only when she talks to herself, and when she faces others, she will become cold and silent.

To be honest, Tianyou likes this kind of quiet teammate, although he himself is a fun-loving person, but he doesn't like the people around him to be too irritable.

The spirit horses of the three people who took Qi Xiaomei on the road were not enough, but fortunately, the immortal chief who stayed behind contributed his spirit horses, and finally let God bless them to achieve one spirit horse per person, which greatly improved the team's ability to move.

Qi Xiaomei This is the first time she has come into contact with the spirit ride, she has seen it before but has never ridden it, after all, the spirit ride is similar to a sports car on the earth in the Shenzhou Continent. You can see it on weekdays, but it's not something that ordinary people can do to sit on it and try it out in person. As for the Demon Dragon King who was thrown into the worry-free bag by Tianyou and still doesn't dare to take it out...... The kind of thing that is the same as a rocket with wheels on it is something he would not dare to ride anyway, at least not for now.

Because the main soul source of ordinary spirit riders is generally obedient war horses, the difficulty of most spirit horses is actually lower than that of ordinary horses. Although this thing is very fast, it is very easy to control, so it can be said that even a child who is touching it for the first time can adapt to it as long as you hold on to the reins and make sure you don't fall off.

Qi Xiaomei couldn't help but start to get excited after riding up, at first because of timidity, she didn't dare to let go of the spirit rider under her crotch and run, but after a while, she got used to it and began to run faster and faster, and Tianyou and Jade Cicada Dao people also had to run along.

On weekdays, in addition to facing Tianyou, Qi Xiaomei is very silent most of the time, not as happy as children of the same age, and she can't be compared with those little princesses on the earth. But none of this is in her nature, her silence is just forced by life, a repressed reaction, not something she was born with. So, when she stepped on the spirit rider for the first time, she couldn't help but expose her naughty side, and began to gallop on the horse, enjoying the excitement and joy brought by this novel toy.

The spirit rider itself runs faster than a horse, and does not know tiredness. If others want to control it, they also need to use their own aura to replenish the strength of the spirit horse, but Qi Xiaomei's one is Tianyou knows that she has no aura to support her, so she deliberately stored a large amount of aura in the spirit horse in advance. In this way, she didn't feel the consumption even more, and the result was that she ran all the way back to the Tieling ferry before stopping.

It is also a loss that the distance from Tieling County to Tieling is not far, otherwise the spirit horse pre-stored in the spirit horse will be damaged after it is exhausted.

In fact, most spirit riders can store a certain amount of aura by themselves, but this storage amount is usually not too large, and it cannot be stored in advance, because the stored aura will be lost like a battery leakage, and the speed is quite fast. Therefore, the aura that most spirit riders can pre-store is only enough to run for more than half an hour, and it must be the aura that has just been entered before departure, otherwise after two or three hours, even if it stands still, it can wear out the aura by itself.

Once the Spirit Rider's aura is depleted, its speed will drop rapidly, which can be regarded as a protection mechanism. The speed at which the Spirit Rider absorbs the Spirit Qi is likely to allow it to move slowly at a walking speed, so if the rider is unable to replenish the Spirit Qi after the Spirit is depleted, the Spirit Rider can only move at the speed of a walk. At this time, if the rider continues to urge the spirit rider to run, it can actually run, but at this time, it consumes not spiritual power but its own horse soul.

In other words, the Spirit Rider will preferentially consume the Spiritual Energy when it is running, and once the Spiritual Energy is exhausted, it will begin to burn the horse's soul until the Spirit Rider is unable to maintain its own existence and completely dissipates. Considering the difficulty of making the spirit rider and the price factor, no one is generally willing to let the spirit rider burn the horse soul to run wild, and the money is not spent like this.

Qi Xiaomei, who was stopped by the river, saw Tianyou and the two of them who had caught up with them, and realized that they had just gotten carried away, and looked at the two of them with their heads lowered with some embarrassment. Tianyou didn't say anything, turned over and dismounted and put away the spirit horse. Seeing that Qi Xiaomei was about to come down, she subconsciously reached out and made a catch-up motion. Qi Xiaomei was stunned for a moment, then relaxed, turned over and jumped down in front of Tianyou, and was caught by Tianyou and gently put on the ground.

Heaven bless this is the knee-jerk reaction of modern people, seeing a half-grown child want to collapse from the tall spirit horse, adults with a little quality will want to reach out and take it, but in the Shenzhou Continent, this action is slightly inappropriate. Because according to the concept on the earth, a 12-year-old Qi Xiaomei can only be regarded as a big child, and in the Shenzhou Continent, it is not uncommon for a girl from a poor family to become a mother at the age of 14. So according to the rules here, Tianyou's actions are a little inappropriate.

Tianyou is a habitual action, completely subconscious behavior, I didn't think about it too much, but Qi Xiaomei was blushing for a while, but she was happy in her heart, feeling that she was accepted. Tianyou realized that his behavior just now was inappropriate when he saw her reaction, but he had already done it, and it was useless to think more, so he changed the topic and asked: "Jade Cicada Immortal Chief, from here, the dense fog on the other side seems to have dissipated, and it seems that your previous action was successful." ”

"No, we succeeded. The Jade Cicada Daoist said very happily: "Without your response, I am afraid that we may not be able to bring out the magic weapon that produced the ghost mist completely this time, even if we can succeed, our team will definitely lose most of it, so this operation can be successful, and you also have your credit." ”

Tianyou smiled and diverted the topic. "It's still not real across the river, but there are no boats here, so we have to find a way to get to the other side." ”

Hearing this, the Jade Cicada Daoist patted the sword beside him: "I have a flying sword, although I am injured, it is still no problem to cross the river." Isn't that demon pet of yours able to take people across the river? I just don't know if I can take you two with it. ”

Tianyou glanced at Qi Xiaomei, shook his head and said, "I haven't tried it, maybe it's okay." ”

It's no problem to carry the power of the mocking wind with a person, but two mocking winds of this size must not be able to carry it. However, Qi Xiaomei is already a half-grown child, and with a thin body, her weight may be less than half of that of Tianyou. If she had held her big iron gun before, the mocking wind would not have been able to carry it, but now that gun has been turned into a twist by the corpse king, and it was also stuffed into his worry-free bag by Tianyou before going on the road this time, but it doesn't take much weight. In this way, mocking the wind may not be able to bring the two of them.

The Jade Cicada Daoist was also afraid that the two of them would fall into the river halfway, so they proposed to try it first, so Tianyou called the mocking wind down, and it was a very smooth success, sending both of them to the other side of the river. However, Mock Wind obviously flew quite reluctantly, and it seemed that taking two people at a time was still a bit beyond the scope of Mock Wind's ability. However, this Tianyou is not worried, because the ability to mock the wind has been growing rapidly, and I believe that it will not be long before the weight of the two people will no longer be a problem. Besides, Mocking Wind is a battle demon pet, not a spirit horse, and the load capacity is not its specialty.

Compared with the natural crossing of the river on their side, the Jade Cicada Daoist had some accidents. Because the injury did not fully recover, when they were about to reach the shore, the Jade Cicada Daoist suddenly fell from the flying sword, thanks to God's blessing they had already arrived on the shore, so let the mocking wind go back and fish up the Jade Cicada Daoist. As for wet clothes...... A clean charm will do the trick.

After re-ashore, Tianyou and Qi Xiaomei first cared about the situation of the Jade Cicada Daoist, and only re-embarked on the road after confirming that there was nothing serious, but this time the three of them did not use the spirit horse, but carefully walked forward. Advancing all the way to Xinghuang Village, nothing was found along the way. The undead apparently realized that the ghost fog would dissipate quickly, so they retreated in a planned way, leaving no lone undead behind.

Qi Xiaomei didn't understand the reason, and she was quite happy to find that she had been clean along the way, and only after Tianyou explained to her did she ask worriedly: "Then these undead won't run out again one day, right?"

The Jade Cicada Daoist reassured: "You don't need to worry about this, when we go back, Zixiao Palace will definitely send more people to come to inspect and clean the White Bone Cave more thoroughly, I think it will be impossible for these undead to come out and do evil for a long time." ”

After listening to the soothing words of the Jade Cicada Daoist, Qi Xiaomei suddenly asked, "Since Zixiao Palace is so powerful, why don't you completely sweep away the undead here once and for all?"

"This ......," the Jade Cicada Daoist was stunned by the question. He had never thought about it before, but now he was stunned when he suddenly heard such a question, because he didn't know why the head of the sect didn't send someone to clean the White Bone Cave thoroughly.

This Tianshan White Bone Cave is not far from Zixiao Palace, and it is very convenient to go back and forth. Heaven blessed them with all their strength before, and they could reach it in one day, and for those immortals who could fly swords or have flying mounts in the gate, it was nothing at all. As for the difficulty of cleaning...... There are many undead in the White Bone Cave, and it is indeed dangerous for the disciples, but the sect can use this place as one of the standing choices for the disciples' training, which shows that the danger of this place is actually not very high. If it is extrapolated according to this situation, the head of the sect does not even need to take action in person, he only needs to send two or three sect master-level existences, and he can almost sweep through the White Bone Cave.

However, such a simple thing, Zixiao Palace has never done it, but has kept it until now. The Jade Cicada Daoist himself couldn't figure out why this was happening. Of course, it's not that he can't think of a reason, but he thinks it's unlikely.

In fact, the existence of the White Bone Cave was not only harmless to Zixiao Palace, but also of great benefit.

First of all, the most direct benefit is that it can be used to train disciples, and it can also get a lot of output by the way.

Although the number of undead in the White Bone Cave is large, the level is not high, as long as the depth of advancement is controlled, the danger to the disciples is actually not high. Such a place is simply a natural training ground, and it has many benefits for enhancing the actual combat ability of the disciples of Zixiao Palace. At the same time, the disciples are not simply fighting for the sake of fighting.

The yin qi in the white bone cave is extremely heavy, so there are many kinds of negative spirit grasses. These spiritual grasses are very versatile for monks, and can be regarded as a high-value renewable resource.

And it's not just spirit grass, the undead themselves are actually a resource. Like the zombies, ghosts, and skeleton soldiers raised by the monks, although it can't be said that they were all caught by the White Bone Cave, at least more than half of the consumption of Zixiao Palace was produced here. Such an important source of resources will not be easily destroyed by anyone.

These are still superficial factors, and if you think about it deeper.

The existence of the White Bone Cave would threaten the security of the entire Jietian Mountain, and this threat was the key to the threat established by Zixiao Palace. To put it simply, this is a disguised self-respect of raising thieves. If the neutral zone is peaceful, then who else needs the Xianmen? If Zixiao Palace wants to do something, then it can only coerce others to do it, and now, because everyone has a time to ask Zixiao Palace, as long as Zixiao Palace wants to do something, someone will immediately take the initiative to jump out and help do it. The difference between the two is that individuals can understand it, and the high-level leaders of Zixiao Palace will naturally not be unable to understand it.

The Jade Cicada Daoist was only stunned for a moment before thinking of these two factors, it can be said that the reason is very sufficient, but these things can't be said to Qi Xiaomei. The world is like this, there are things you can do but you can't say.

"The White Bone Cave is a place of evil, even if all the undead in it are slaughtered, a new batch should be reborn in the near future. Therefore, unless you plan to overthrow the entire Tianshan Mountain and change the direction of the earth's leylines, you will not be able to eradicate the scourge of the undead here. Tianyou put a hand on Qi Xiaomei's shoulder, and said while turning her in the direction of the road and continuing to move forward: "The Jade Cicada Immortal is the Immortal Leader of the Sect, and he naturally habitually boasts of the Sect. But although my Zixiao Palace is indeed an orthodox immortal gate and the first immortal gate in the world, I must pay a certain price to clean up the White Bone Cave. If you clean it up once and for all, I believe that they must be obligated in the palm of their hands. It's just that after this place is cleared, it will regenerate like a weed. Therefore, out of consideration for cherishing the disciples in the sect, I can only send disciples to pay attention to them on weekdays. ”

The Jade Cicada Daoist reacted quite quickly, and when he heard the reason made up by Tianyou, he immediately echoed: "Yes, you see that this accident happened, didn't we arrive at the first time? The only mistake is that I didn't expect someone to drop a Yin Spirit Magic Weapon that can produce ghost mist here, which led to the subsequent incident." It's a good thing that we've solved the crisis, haven't we?"

Qi Xiaomei, this girl doesn't like to talk, but she can always grasp the key point with a sharp point. "Immortal Chief, did you say that someone dropped that magic weapon?"

The Jade Cicada Daoist was stunned again, his eyes rolled wildly and he began to make up a reason to prevaricate, but after seeing Tianyou's inquiring gaze, he realized that Tianyou didn't know the inside story. As if he had made a decision, the Jade Cicada Daoist sighed and said, "That's it, it's okay to say that you two listen, but you must not spread the word." ”

Tianyou and Qi Xiaomei hurriedly promised that they would not spread it randomly, and then Yu Chandao said what he had been concealing.

Tianyou and their team were the first to be attacked in Xinghuang Village, and then the team dispersed, and some people went back to report the news, and Tianyou and they went around in a big circle and returned to Zixiao Palace. There was a delay in the middle, so that he didn't catch up with the strong team of the Jade Cicada Dao people.

When God blessed them and rushed to the White Bone Cave, the team of the Jade Cicada Daoist had already discovered the problem, and then fought all the way into the White Bone Cave. This Jade Cicada Daoist has told Tianyou, but only a part of the information is concealed in the middle.

In fact, when the Jade Cicada Dao people first entered the White Bone Cave, they did not directly find the source of the ghost mist, but encountered a large number of undead blocking the way. In the process of resisting, the Jade Cicada Dao people and their team retreated into a fork in the road to rest temporarily, but they didn't want to find a group of black-clothed people hiding here. A battle immediately broke out on both sides, and it was at this time that several of the disciples lost in the Jade Cicada Daoist team were sacrificed. Originally, Tianyou thought that they died at the hands of the undead, but now he knows that the few of his fellow disciples who lost were all dead at the hands of a group of black-clothed people.

"And then?"

"Later, we killed the men in black, leaving only a few seriously wounded people for interrogation, and we didn't want them to kill themselves by poisoning themselves rather than answer our questions. However, their deaths do answer part of our questions. ”

"These people are all killers?" Although the Jade Cicada Daoist didn't say what questions these people's deaths answered, Tianyou still immediately thought of the answer. In addition to killers and dead soldiers, who else would carry poison for suicide with them? These people were able to kill many Zixiao Palace disciples under the premise that the Immortal Elder of Zixiao Palace was present, which showed that the strength of these people was not low. If you have such skills, or a killer, then the scope is really not big. "Could it be the Night Temple again?"

The Jade Cicada Daoist did not answer directly, but nodded slightly. "We can't know for sure either, but it's highly likely. The details need to be decided by the master, but it would not be wrong to think that the Night God Temple. ”

"In other words, this incident was deliberately done by the killers of the Night God Temple?" Qi Xiaomei finally kept up with the rhythm of God blessed them. "But why would they do it?"
