Chapter 224: A false alarm

The footsteps below are getting closer and closer, Lao Huang took out his scroll and slowly opened it, Mr. Qi is holding a peachwood sword and a talisman, and I am holding a gossip jade pendant.

A few of us crouched in the grass, quietly waiting for each other to come.

We didn't notify the other fellow sects to come, so it's likely that the ones who came here were enemies like the Ghost Gate or Dragon Tiger Mountain. Now everyone knows that I am the head of the Maoshan faction, and if they can catch me, it will have a great influence on the fight against the Maoshan faction.

We are both very clear about this.

As the sun set, the footsteps grew closer.

Mr. Qi looked at me and motioned for me to get ready, and when I saw someone, I would directly trap him with a blood-colored cage.

It's quiet, there's no wind, no insects, everything seems to be waiting for each other to appear.

After about a minute, the figure of the other party appeared. Dressed in black, wearing a mask, and walking very lightly, we could still hear each other stepping on the grass stems.

I jumped out of the grass and shouted at the other party, "Scarlet Cage!" ”

As a result, the other party sighed, obviously startled by me.

But the sound also scared us...... This is Nangong Jingxuan's voice!

I didn't have time to retract my hand, and with a flick of my wrist, I hit the blood-colored fan cage on a big tree next to me, and then asked in surprise: "Nangong girl?" You...... How did you get here? ”

Mr. Qi and Lao Huang stood up from the grass, their faces deeply guarded.

Nangong Jingxuan patted her chest, obviously frightened by us. She took off her mask, and then looked at me angrily: "Zhang Wenbin, when are you still playing this with me?" I've been chasing you since the early hours of the morning, all the way here, do you think I'm having a brain cramp? I was afraid that you would come to your aid with a broken eye, but you almost killed me! ”

I feel so embarrassed at this time, people treat me like this, and I ......

Mr. Qi's eyelids were alive, and he immediately put away the peachwood sword and said, "Miss Nangong misunderstood, we got information that Longhu Mountain sent a master to kill Binzi, but I didn't expect you to come." I heard that your dad locked you up, how did you get out? ”

I'm also a little curious, how did she come here with her?

Nangong Jingxuan said angrily: "Can't I come out if I close me?" Last night, my father said that Brother Wenbin would definitely die, and said that there were many masters, so I took advantage of them to fall asleep, and I broke the window of my house and jumped out of the wall. As a result, I arrived at the hotel and found that you were gone, and when I went to the hospital to see the fat brother, I knew that you were coming here, so I hurried to the high-speed rail station and took the same train with you......"

Damn, that's too ...... It's the same as in the movies. But I was really touched that she was able to do this: "Thank you, thank you for helping me in this situation, thank you so much!" ”

Nangong Jingxuan pouted arrogantly: "Who wants you to be grateful?" Almost killed me, I'll never forget it for the rest of my life! Brother Wenbin, let me tell you, my father made that choice as a last resort for the sake of the continuation of the whole family, and I hope you can understand. I also want to make it clear to you this time that the Nangong family can't withstand the twists and turns. But for the sake of your safety, I put myself on board, and this time I will always be by your side, I hope you don't have any prejudice against the Nangong family. ”

Lao Huang said: "Nangong girl doesn't need to be like this, we understand the choice of the family, and we are afraid that we will do it." From ancient times to the present, aren't all the families that can be passed down like this? Not putting all the eggs in the same basket is for the safety of the family. We won't blame your dad, you can rest assured. You didn't keep up with us when you got out of the high-speed rail station, and you came here in such a hurry, and you suffered a crime. ”

Nangong Jingxuan gave me a blank look: "I'm afraid that some people will be cautious and think that our Nangong family will drive me away......"

I smiled helplessly: "Okay, it's getting dark, let's go in." If you delay a little longer, there will be more danger on Master's side. Although Senior Brother Cai Fan didn't say it, I also know that now it is maintained by the vitality of my master and my brother, and it can't be delayed for too long, my master is not in good health, so we must hurry up. ”

Nangong Jingxuan walked up to me, unloaded her backpack and handed it to me: "Carry it on my back, I'm tired to death." I'm afraid you're in danger, so I've brought several treasures. Brother Wenbin, don't kill me in the future......"

I took the backpack and put it in my arms through the strap from the front: "I want to know how you made a move, let's go, let's move on." Take out all the flashlights, it's not easy to walk in this wilderness. ”

Lao Huang took the lead and continued to move forward, and Nangong Jingxuan and I walked at the back. As a result, as soon as we took two steps, Nangong Jingxuan snorted coldly: "What's the matter, get out!" ”

We all stopped, and I looked at her curiously and asked, "What's wrong?" What did you find? ”

Nangong Jingxuan looked around and said, "I feel like someone is peeking at us......"

I took the flashlight and shone it around, but I didn't find anything, and said to her with a smile: "Don't be suspicious, just after our group, even if there are really murderous spirits around here, we won't be afraid." Let's go, you're too sensitive. ”

We continued to move forward, Nangong Jingxuan obviously still felt that someone was following, she turned her face from time to time to look back and forth, with a puzzled expression on her face.

I can't cry or laugh, this girl has been running all the way, it is estimated that the spirit is still in a state of high tension at this time, and now when it is dark, it is normal to be a little nervous.

We walked about another 200 meters, and there was a gentle slope in front of us, and we went to the entrance of Cao Cao's tomb.

Mr. Qi unscrewed the mineral water bottle and took a sip of water, and then said: "This is a bit like climbing over Centipede Ridge, but it's so quiet, there is not even the sound of insects, and there is not even wind, it's weird." I hope we can enter safely today, otherwise we will encounter setbacks before entering the tomb, which will not be conducive to our search for the Sword of the Son of Heaven. ”

Lao Huang smiled, and just as he was about to speak, Nangong Jingxuan turned around and shouted again: "Get out!" ”

I was a little surprised, turned my face to look at Nangong Jing, and found that she actually took out the flute, and then put it to her mouth and blew it.

What does it mean? Is there really anyone?

Zhou Teng, who had not spoken, pointed back: "That tree seems to have been near us when we just met Sister Nangong below, and it is still near us, is there something wrong with this tree?" ”

As soon as he said this, I took a serious look, and the tree was very thick and leafy. The trunk of the tree glowed red, which was the reason why I hit it with a blood-colored cage.

It's a fucking tree!

Mr. Qi and Lao Huang walked over, and Mr. Qi said, "It's really careless, it's normal to have a dryad here." Since it's here, let's get rid of it, so that we don't have to attack us in secret. ”

I'm not worried. At that time, when I was in Grandma Temple Village, the locust tree spirit was so powerful, but when Nangong Jingxuan played the music, the leaves were still falling down, no matter how powerful this tree demon was, how powerful could it be? Almost the entire Maoshan faction has passed before it can be considered a killing.

I was thinking about it when I suddenly heard Mr. Qi say in surprise, "Huh? This tree is so weird, the fallen leaves will grow back......"

We took a few steps forward, and then we saw that the branches of the tree were now growing wildly, and since the fallen leaves had just grown, a layer of leaves had fallen under the tree, but the tree still maintained its leafy appearance.

No matter how fertile the land is, it can't stop it from growing like this, there is definitely something strange in this!

Lao Huang couldn't stand still, he pointed the scroll at the big tree, and then I saw some smoke floating out of the big tree, wafting into the painting. And more and more, literally like water vapor.

Lao Huang's painting scroll can absorb vitality, and this tree can't stop it from sucking even if its vitality is vigorous.

But ten minutes passed, and the tree did not change except for the increase in the frequency of leaf falling, and even the newly grown leaves were still verdant, showing vigorous vitality.

Mr. Qi walked over slowly with a flashlight and looked around. At this time, the fallen leaves on the ground had buried the calves, and the tree should have died a long time ago, but now it defied common sense, and nothing had changed at all.

When Mr. Qi carefully walked under the tree, a branch of the tree fell quickly and jerked towards Mr. Qi. Mr. Qi rolled on the ground to dodge, and then said with some curiosity: "The vitality of this thing is too strong, right?" ”

I was also a little surprised, I took the jade pendant and said, "I'll try it with fire." ”

After speaking, I walked to the place of the gossip and shouted at the big tree with a jade pendant: "The fire is born in the wood, and the wood is more fiery; Wood can make fire, and fire burns wood. Burn! ”

A golden light flew out of the jade pendant and went straight to the big tree, and as it flew, the golden light grew bigger and bigger, blazing, and finally formed a huge ball of fire, which hit the top of the tree and covered a large area of branches and leaves.

When the fire started, several of us relaxed, Huo Kemu, this is the law of heaven and earth, no matter how strong you are, there is nothing you can do.

Nangong Jingxuan also put down the flute, looked at the sky-high fire and said, "There must be something under this tree that provides vitality to this tree, otherwise it shouldn't be like this." I used to play the flute for ten minutes, and a huge banyan tree would die immediately. It is the southwest border where a chopstick can grow into a bamboo forest, and now in this Central Plains region, the vitality is far beyond that side, I really dare not imagine. ”

We weren't happy for long, because the fire on the tree only burned the shrouded leaves, and then the fire went out of its own accord, and new branches grew on the branches again, and within five minutes the tree was restored to its original state.

Exercise!

It's weird!

I was just about to continue the fire, when suddenly the leaves on the ground moved, rolling up the leaves like a gust of wind, enveloping Mr. Qi before he could react, and then countless leaves pounced on him, forming a large round ball......
