Qi San was stunned, he thought that Du Lengqiu would talk about the conditions and something, and he was ready to impress the other party, but Du Lengqiu's head made Qi San's words hold in his chest and he couldn't speak. He nodded and said dryly, "Ah, that's good, that's good." ”

That look, embarrassing.

Zhao Tong watched it funny from the side, he put his thumb on it, opened the lid of the gourd, and took a sip of wine on his head, and the wine even dripped. Zhao Tong wiped his beard casually, and said with a smile: "Brother Qiu, don't care, the third child is like this, he likes to calculate some benefits." ”

After a pause, it seemed to be wording, and after a while, Zhao Tongcai said: "We have taken a task to uproot a tree, a very big tree." Of course, it doesn't matter if the mission is unsuccessful, and Appreciation Hall will not punish us for this. Brother Qiu regarded this as a trip to relax. ”

Qi San scratched his head, laughed embarrassedly, and said, "The target of our mission is Moyun Tree, and the reward in the Appreciation Hall is five thousand jade dollars, which is an astronomical amount. Whether it can be completed or not, we can proudly say that we have worked hard for the most difficult tasks. ”

"Moyun Tree?"

"Have you ever seen the Moyun Tree?"

Zhao Tong and the three shook their heads in unison. Du Lengqiu smiled slightly and said, "That's just the right time to go up and see together." ”

Qi San clapped his hands and said with a hippie smile: "Okay, we are in Shannan Mansion now." According to the map given by Xiangyingtang, we still need to pass through Pingzhou Mansion and Liyuan Mansion before we can reach the Moyun Great Forest, and in the middle of the Moyun Great Forest, it is our target Moyun Tree. ”

The scorching sun hung in the air, Qi San frowned, and it was a little difficult to distinguish the direction. After thinking for a while, he took out a Sinan from the bamboo box behind him, toggled the handle, and then the positioning was completed.

Qi San raised his hand and shouted, "Let's go! There are 5,000 jade coins waiting for us to pick it up!"

Whether it is the official road built by the government or the path walked by the people, after being abandoned for 20 years, they are all flooded with wild grass. Looking around, there is grass in all the wilderness, except for the trees.

There is a saying that there is no road in the world, and when there are many people walking, it becomes a road. Reliable four people can't get out of the way no matter what, but fortunately, none of the four people are weak, and they are all used to coming and going, but it doesn't hinder much.

It is said that after practicing supernatural powers, you can transform your true qi into mana, and from then on, you can get rid of the shackles of gravity and fly indulgently. And before that, the martial arts cultivators of the Spirit Realm could only honestly run around the earth. At most, it's just like Du Lengqiu casting a hundred miles of wind tricks, flying with the power of the wind.

In the twenty years since humans left, every land has had a new owner, either a demon or a blood demon. If they don't want to have a bloody battle with their master, the four of them can only be cautious, and then cautious.

They jumped and hurried on the branches of the trees in the jungle, and every time they stretched out their hands on the branches, they swept dozens of feet with their strength, and they were more dexterous than the apes who had lived in the jungle all their lives.

Li Wei's spear was too long, and it was very obstructive when he was in a hurry. Fortunately, his spear could be split into two parts, and it was inconspicuous when it was tied to his back in a pouch.

Along the way, some villages were passed, and the barren grass flooded the courtyards, and most of the mud houses collapsed, and even the heads of tree branches poked out of the collapsed corners. Everything shows that without human beings, the world would still be that world. After the withdrawal of human beings, who claim to be the spirits of all things, the world has become more vibrant.

The sun and shadows are sinking in the west, the light and shadow are staggered, and it is already dusk.

The clear blue sky was stained with gray, and only the fiery clouds in the west still emitted the last rays of light. Qi San suddenly stood still, turned around and said, "Let's camp on the shore of this lake at night, fortunately, we can have a wider view here, and we can find out if there is anything wrong." ”

Zhao Tong and Li Wei had no opinion, Du Lengqiu's eyes swept away, but he was stunned.

He's been to this place!

During the last crossing, Du Lengqiu took his family here to see a doctor. Sure enough, he looked far away and saw six hundred miles of Cuiping Mountain. At the foot of the mountain, the vast apricot grove is swaying with green leaves, showing the beauty of early spring to the fullest.

Seeing that Du Lengqiu didn't say anything, Qi San hurriedly asked in a suspicious tone, "Brother Qiu, is there anything wrong here?"

Du Lengqiu smiled dumbly and shook his head, "There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that I just came back to the old place and felt emotional." ”

At dusk, a flock of mallards quacks take off from the turquoise lake and return to their warm nests. However, the thatched hut of the five-breath hand Dong Shen Doctor has been completely destroyed.

Du Lengqiu didn't sell Guanzi, and pointed to the lake at will, "That's Wild Duck Lake, in the past, Dr. Dong practiced medicine here to save people, planted 300,000 apricot trees, and became famous all over the world." ”

Qi San and Li Wei were both at a loss, but Zhao Tong asked with a surprised expression: "Five breaths, within five breaths, life and death are broken, and everything is missing." This name is very loud, I can't imagine such a coincidence. Let's go and pay homage to the former residence of Dr. Dong. ”

Qi San said lazily: "After a day's journey today, I'm going to be tired to death." Big brother, you have some time, why don't you go and bake two fresh fish for us to fill your stomach. ”

Li Wei still didn't speak, just shook his head, and then walked to the grass along the lake to the nesting of wild ducks. It's spring, the season for the duck to hatch its eggs, and you don't have to ask to know that he's going to get some duck eggs.

For those of them in their twenties, the world before the bloody rain was a long time ago. As a new generation, they are not interested in the older generation of celebrities such as Wuxishou. The future is the focus of their attention.

Zhao Tong shook the wine gourd and sighed: "Old, really old!"

As he spoke, he looked at Du Lengqiu curiously, "Brother Qiu, seeing that you are not very old, how can you know about the five-breath hand?" After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Du Lengqiu is only eighteen or nineteen years old.

Du Lengqiu "told the truth" and said: "I once came with my family. ”

Zhao Tong knew that Du Lengqiu had come to see a doctor with his family in his childhood. Du Lengqiu is not lying, he is just misleading with words, but he is not a lie.

The two of them walked one after the other, walking briskly towards the huts. Soon a weasel emerged from the grass with a dying white bird in its mouth.

Pointing to the road that had been completely deserted, Du Lengqiu sighed: "In the past, this road was full of traffic and people, but now it is actually what it is?

Upon closer inspection, the house was completely destroyed. The main beams and purlins of the roof were scattered everywhere, the walls collapsed inward, and clumps of dog-tail grass grew along the corners.

A few wildflowers are in full bloom, sprinkling a little fragrance. A few apricot trees next to the thatched hut are dotted with many flower buds, and they will bloom into their beauty as soon as the spring breeze arrives in February.

Du Lengqiu vaguely remembers the scene of visiting Dong Jun at night and discussing "Zhou Tian Needle" under the oil lamp, but now although people are there, things are no longer there.

After a few moments, the two returned to their original places. Along the way, Zhao Tong didn't say anything, just kept drinking, and the Luotuo between his eyebrows was even deeper.

Not far from the lake, Qi San had already set up a bonfire, three grass carp, and two wild ducks were suffering from the flames. From time to time, grease falls down and makes a slight sound of ignition when it comes into contact with the red firewood.

Li Wei is stirring egg drop soup in a wooden basin, and the floating white slender rhizomes in the soup are sweet grass roots, a specialty of early spring. Du Lengqiu spread his hands and said with a smile: "It seems that I am going to eat white food once." ”

Li Wei smiled and didn't speak, Qi San pouted while sprinkling condiments: "Don't worry, Brother Qiu, the fierce battle is still ahead, when the time comes, I'm afraid that your sword is not fast enough!" Then, as if unintentionally, he said: "Speaking of which, why doesn't Brother Qiu even have a blade?"

Du Lengqiu thought of the broken smoke cage and white sand, and the seven bundles of firewood that flew away, and sighed: "Don't mention it, it's all tears when you say it." ”

At this moment, the sun has just set behind Cuiping Mountain, and the sunset is showing its beauty to the fullest, and the afterglow reflects on the Wild Duck Lake, leaving a light red on the surface of the lake selected by this wave of light.

The four of them chewed on the beautiful scenery, and then buried the traces, eliminating all the smells, before they each meditated and rested.

In the midst of the stars, the stars descended on the night. The spring is cold, but the four of them are all martial arts powerhouses with profound cultivation, and they regard this cold as leisure, and they haven't even lit a bonfire.

The roaring ape of the tiger on Cuiping Mountain is still clearly audible at the foot of the mountain.

There was no word all night, and the east was already whitening in a snap of a finger. Du Lengqiu got up early, and with the faint light of the morning star, he checked a strange object he had obtained before.

Crystal steel forks.

There are countless runes engraved on the surface of the crystal steel fork, and if you look carefully, you can find that these runes are basically the same. Of all the non-repeating runes, there are only five, that is, these five runes are condensed into this blade.

Today's Du Lengqiu can already be called a master of runes, but these five runes are still amazing. Du Lengqiu was immersed in it, unconsciously waved his five fingers, the green light of his fingertips shone, and the talisman had been formed out of thin air.

As the runes took shape, the dew on the blades of grass leaped into the air in defiance of gravity, gathering more and more, and in the blink of an eye, it condensed into a transparent blade. The blade was not fully formed, and the flowing liquid changed with Du Lengqiu's thoughts.

His heart moved, and he condensed a long sword.

The long sword is transparent, like a crystal, the sword is three feet six inches and five minutes long, and the back of the sword is written on one side of the mountains and rivers, and the other side is written on the fishing woods and ploughing to read, which is the legendary Xuanyuan sword.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed his imitation long sword, but at the moment of contact, the crystal long sword instantly collapsed and turned into a drop of water again. Du Lengqiu scratched his head in embarrassment and muttered, "What's going on?"

Qi San next to him suddenly whispered: "Shhhhhh ”

Du Lengqiu hurriedly silenced him, and then heard an extremely slight footsteps in the distance. Listening to sounds, they should be bipedal creatures, and the two-legged ones are birds except for humans. Listening to the size of the footsteps, it can only be people.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, Zhao Tong slowly opened the lid of the gourd, took a sip of wine, and sneered: "Don't worry, it's a blood demon." ”

Qi San and Li Wei obviously trusted Zhao Tong's judgment very much, and immediately relaxed, and in a moment, someone appeared in the field of vision, obviously a humanoid creature.

He was bareheaded, his eyebrows were gone, and his eyes were bursting out, like a hanged ghost, covered with blood. The ears have become extremely big, and they have a fight with the second senior brother. The nostrils are extremely large, and there are four sharp teeth protruding from the lips underneath. His ears moved, he fanned twice, and seemed to hear Zhao Tong's voice, and his eyes glared.

He sniffed twice, sprang to his feet like an ape, and pounced on him with a howl. At this moment, Li Wei suddenly burst out, assembled the spears together like a trick, stepped on the grass, and rushed out, with a flash of silver light, and the blood demon was nailed to the ground.

Although he was condemned to death on the ground, there was no trace of blood from the wound. The blood demon is still struggling to the death, and the tenacity of its vitality is terrifying.

Seeing Du Lengqiu's surprised expression, Zhao Tong explained: "There is no vital point in the blood demon's body, whether you cut off its head or cut it into two pieces, you can only restrict its movements, but you can't completely kill him." ”

"Then how can you kill him?"

Qi San walked over and smiled, "That's it." He approached the blood demon and pulled out a jade bottle, from which he poured a cloud of powder.

The powder fell on the blood demon's wound, and then the blood demon's body sizzled, and a scorched smell rushed into the wings of his nose, which was very choking. In an instant, the blood demon melted, condensing a red bead the size of a glass ball on the ground.

Qi San picked up the beads and put them away, and said happily: "Another jade coin has been put into the account, what a beautiful start." ”
