Half an hour ago—

"Who are you?"

When Jiu'er walked to the end of the green light, the sky was already bright, what she saw was not a fairy, no Taoist priest, but a smoky look, a closer look, in the smoke, there were two green lights, it was these two lights that guided Jiu'er here, but here, the surrounding silence was extremely quiet, and the cold air made Jiu'er shudder and tremble.

"You...... Who is it?"

Jiu'er's voice trembled slightly, she mustered up the courage to walk inside, and found that although the smoke was too thick to see inside, she was able to walk in, she walked cautiously with small steps, only to hear a low voice inside, and said, "I am your friend, Xiang Shen." ”

"Friend?" Jiu'er never remembered this person, but somehow, she did have a sense of intimacy with this voice, and walked in.

The two green lights were like guiding lights, and the more she walked in, the more intense the green light became.

When he reached the center of the thick fog, Jiu'er was stunned by the scene in front of him.

Two stout pillars stood on the left and right sides, like the arms of a strong warrior, tightly erecting the person in the middle, and there were a bunch of runes on the pillars that she couldn't understand, but she could understand the sad expression of the person in the middle.

"My friend, it's been a long time. Xiang Shen smiled weakly, but Jiu'er frowned and said:

"Friend, why don't I remember having a friend like you?"

Jiu'er looked at this person carefully, his figure was thin, like her father, but this person's skin was very white, his eyes were shining green all the time, and his whole body was tightly wrapped in runes, he looked at Jiu'er for a while, and then closed his eyes.

"Looks like you've forgotten. ”

Xiang Shen lowered his head, Jiu'er thought he was dead, and hurriedly asked: "Don't you die! I'll go out and call my father to save you now!"

When Xiang Shen heard this, he came to his senses, opened his eyes and looked at Jiu'er, who was about to leave, and said, "You can save me, why go out to find your father." ”

"Can I save you?" Jiu'er stopped, looked at him suspiciously, and looked at his left and right, his hands and feet were tightly chained to these two pillars.

"As long as you help me tear off the runes on my body, I will have the strength to break free from these two sealing pillars, and after breaking free, I will definitely repay you. ”

"How do you want to repay?" Jiu'er asked suspiciously, and Xiang Shen smiled, thinking to himself: She really hasn't changed at all!

"I will ensure that you will become the king of this world!" Xiang Shen's tone was extremely firm, but the weight of this sentence was only a nine-year-old girl Jiu'er, where did she understand?

"You want me to seek power and usurp the throne? You are simply a madman, where in the world is there a woman who is the emperor, and besides, I am not a son of heaven, I am not rare, as long as you can keep our family safe, is it okay?"

"Hehehe. Xiang Shen laughed lowly, she didn't expect her to be so naïve in this life!

"Good. ”

Seeing that Xiang Shen agreed, she smiled sweetly, she was not afraid of him at all, and ran straight over, when she ran under him, she tripped over something, Xiang Shen immediately blew when she saw it, and there was smoke below Jiu'er's calf, so thick that she couldn't see the ground clearly.

"Ahem. Xiang Shen coughed up blood, and then a lot of blood spit out of his mouth, Jiu'er was frightened, standing in place and trembling, Xiang Shen saw her scared look and smiled, and said: "I used a spell, so the runes on my body punished me, it will erode my body, every time it erodes, there is like ten thousand ants eating my flesh, this pain, I have endured it for hundreds of years." ”

If you look closely, the runes on his body were still dull just now, but now they all launched a green light, and Jiu'er immediately understood that the green light she saw in the forest was emitted by runes!

Jiu'er was anxious, she had never seen anyone in such pain, she wanted to rescue the person in front of her quickly, but he was erected high by the pillar, and Jiu'er couldn't touch him at all.

"What should I do, I can't touch you!"

Xiang Shen smiled and said, "If you walk forward, there will be a mountain, with your thin body, it is not difficult to climb this mountain, you only need to climb to the top of the mountain, slightly cushion your feet, and you can touch these runes on my body." ”

"Is it that simple?"

"It's as simple as that. ”

Rolling up her cuffs, gasping for breath, she went straight ahead and walked over, sure enough, she didn't take a few steps before she clearly felt that something was blocking her feet, but strangely, she only saw a high gray fog, this gray fog towered like a mountain, she didn't think much about it, she mustered up the courage and climbed up.

On weekdays, Jiu'er is a naughty child, and she has climbed out of the water with a river to play in the water, so climbing to the top of this mountain is really not a difficult thing for her.

"Whew. Climbed to the top of the mountain in one breath, Jiu'er stood up slowly, and when her body stabilized, she stood up, stretched out her hand, and sure enough, she touched Xiang Shen's body.

She peeled it off one by one, and with each rune, the strength of Xiang Shen would be greater.

Gradually, most of the runes on Xiang Shen's body were removed by Jiu'er, Xiang Shen drank loudly, and all the remaining runes on his body turned into ashes, Jiu'er was frightened by his drink, his body tilted, and he rolled down the mountain, and at the same time, Jiu'er stretched out and wanted to grab the branches on the mountain so that he would not fall, but the mountain was bare, and there were no trees. When Jiu'er fell to the ground, the mountain collapsed in an instant.

"Eh. Jiu'er rubbed her ass in pain, but at this time, as the mountain collapsed, the gray fog surrounding the mountain also dissipated.

What appeared in front of Jiu'er was the white bones of the forest! This mountain is made of these white bones!

Jiu'er immediately fainted in fright.

The runes on Xiang Shen's body were gone, and his strength was restored at once, and he used all his strength to pull the iron chain, and after a while, the iron chain on his hands and feet shattered.

After regaining his freedom, he stood on top of these white bones, looked up to the sky and shouted: "Xiang Shen! Finally free! Hahahaha!"

The green light in his eyes was even brighter, like a green flame, and he walked to Jiu'er's side, frowned and said, "In this life, she is actually a simple female doll." After speaking, Xiang Shen took strong and powerful steps and walked towards Mingpeng Village.

All the birds in the forest flapped their wings and fled the forest quickly, but those without wings had to flee on their legs.

Ye Neng ran to the river to look for Jiu'er, and a cold sweat broke out when Yijiang looked at the forest.

"Sister, you're not going there, are you?"

That long howl, Yijiang could feel that it was coming from the forest, and he could also feel that there was a strange atmosphere in the forest coming towards the village.

Yijiang has been very timid since he was a child, every time Jiu'er climbs a tree to steal bird eggs and goes down to the river to catch fish, he is on the side, but this time he rushed directly into the forest, completely forgetting about his timidity.

Dugu Mountain——

"Oh no, no, no!"

The cultivators in white shirts and coats were all frightened, and in a place called Huixiyuan at the west gate, all the people inside ran to the master's door in a panic and knelt down in unison. They clasped their hands into fists, and all of them looked at the closed door with deep frowns, and the most striking of them was the person kneeling at the front.

It could be seen that he was taller than these people, his eyebrows were thick and thick, his eyes were piercing and radiating a light unlike the others, his nose was firm, his lips were small but thick, his dark skin had a few sunspots, and the tanning of his face was not natural, but tanned.

"Master, yesterday morning, the apprentice really saw that the phase sank in the forest without hindrance, and the rune was not damaged, but today I don't know why, the monster actually unsealed the rune, and the apprentice wanted to beg the master to let the apprentice make up for it, and went to collect the monster!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw that the group of disciples behind him all came to their senses and shouted together: "I ask the master to let us go with the senior brother!"

But for a long time, the master did not respond at all.

"Master!" Senior Brother Fengbai put down his hands, thinking about something, and then shouted to the door: "Master, can the apprentice go in?"

Again, there was no response.

Feng Bai was in a hurry, no matter whether he would offend the master or not, he stood up directly, walked to the door of the room, and pushed the door in.

"As I expected. ”

There was silence in front of him, there was no one at all, Feng Bai sighed, and said to the juniors who were still kneeling behind him: "Disperse, the master may have gone to Mingpeng Village a long time ago." ”

"Gone again?"

"Every time. ”

"I don't look like a master at all. ”

Just now, I saw that everyone respected the master very much, but now when I know that the master is not there, all of them are revealed.

"Disperse, disperse. ”

"Go back to your room. ”

No one cares if the master is in danger at all!?

The senior brother saw the note left by the master on the table in the room, and he picked it up and read it in his mouth:

"Fengbai, the runes on Xiang Shen's body were refined by the ancestor with his life a hundred years ago, so they will not be easily destroyed, but Mingpeng Village has this catastrophe and cannot escape, you are in Huixi Garden, don't let those little rabbit cubs go out to see the excitement. ”

Feng Bai took the letter left by the master, looked at the courtyard where there was no one anymore, and said to himself:

"Master, master, you overestimate these apprentices of yours, so they won't go to such a dangerous place, and they have already returned to their rooms to relax. ”

With a deep sigh, he tore the letter in his hand to shreds, threw it into the air, and returned to his room.
