After the two exchanged names, it seemed that the distance had suddenly narrowed a lot. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The nervous expression of the girl named Bai Qingjiu also eased a lot, she let go of the hand holding Yi Xiao, a little smile appeared on her face, and said crisply: "I really didn't expect to meet you here." ”

Yi Xiao nodded: "I have already collected all the red roots, and now I only plan to return to Gukou Jiaocha, are you sure you want to go with me?"

Bai Qingjiu pondered for a moment and then replied: "The red root is not difficult for me, and it has already been collected, I didn't come here for the red root." She paused, with a hint of remorse on her face, and added, "This place is really dangerous, and I was indeed too negligent...... Since you're going to turn back, I'll go back with you!"

Yi Kui took a deep look at her, and quickly hit the road without saying anything.

Bai Qingjiu only acquiesced to him, and followed without saying a word, and the ice crystal pendant on her wrist occasionally made a pleasant sound with her light movements.

Seeing that she decided to return with her without much hesitation, Yi Kui also had doubts in her heart.

She didn't go deep into this place to collect red roots, and with her strength, few people in the Heavenly Test could force her to this place. Could it be that she had gone the wrong way, or had she had gone deep because the swamp had collapsed in the hot and cold paths?, but he was about to return from the way she came, and the maiden had no intention of stopping her, indicating that her path must have been intact.

Thinking about it this way, she ran to such a central place as the swamp, and it was very likely that she took the initiative to go there.

In this case, there must be a certain purpose.

So why did she go deep into the swamp? and now she left so easily, was it because she found a strong enemy ahead, or because her purpose had been achieved?

Yi Kui walked forward in silence and cautiously, and no longer talked to the girl beside him.

Nothing to say all the way.

Bai Qingjiu, a four-heaven Yuan Qi master, how keen her perception was, how could Yi Kui know nothing about her defenses?

She followed Yi Qi's side, looking at the expressionless face of the young man beside her from time to time, sighed secretly in her heart, and finally broke the silence, and said helplessly: "I went deep into the swamp, it is true that I came here for other reasons, just for a recent rumor." Later, when I met those two Imperial Guard cultivators, there was a conflict. ”

Yi Qi's eyebrows moved, he turned his face to look at her, and when he saw her explain seriously, he said slowly: "I'm afraid those two people have the strength of the Four Heavens, right? Why did you take the initiative to sneak attack them?"

Bai Qingjiu clenched her fingers silently, and was even more helpless in her heart, secretly thinking, how can this guy be so good at grasping the key points! She has mentioned rumors, shouldn't ordinary people care about what rumors are?

"The people of their Fifth Guard have some grudges against me...... the girl replied.

Yi Xiao looked at her look and didn't fully believe her statement.

Those two people obviously didn't know her, if it wasn't a personal vendetta, according to her, it was the Fifth Imperial Guard who had a grudge against her?

"So do you know why they appeared in Shidu Township?"

Bai Qingjiu shook his head with a heavy heart, and replied: "This is really not clear, the Fifth Guard of the Imperial Empire is directly under the orders of the royal family, and it stands to reason that they will never appear here." ”

She frowned and thought for a while before explaining: "There are too many cultivators in the hands of the Imperial Royal, and there are five Davids directly under the Imperial Royal, which is even larger than the private guards under the rest of the Domain Lords. Each guard was divided into dozens or even hundreds of detachments, and there were fifteen people in a single detachment, all of whom were cultivators above the Four Heavens. The Fifth Guards are stationed in the imperial capital, and the imperial capital is thousands of miles away from Shidu Township in the extreme north of the country, even if it is a small detachment in the Fifth Guards, if it has no special purpose, it should not run to Shidu Township. ”

"Is that rumor true...... Are they here for this, or ......?" muttered the girl.

Yi Kui was also shocked when he heard her explanation, he didn't expect the strength of the empire to be so strong, and he didn't think that other domain masters would be weak. But when he escaped from the hands of the chief of the Naraush Ziwei outside the Hega Forest, except for the infant himself, there was no such powerful man to arrest him.

It seems that the matter of imprisoning him is very hidden, and perhaps the guards in the hands of the domain lord have not been used at all.

It was thanks to this that he had a chance to escape.

"What are the rumors you are talking about?" asked the girl again, seeing that she lowered her head and pondered for a long time.

"This rumor seems to have arisen recently, circulating in the area of the Extreme North City, but it is very secretive, as if only cultivators with a certain strength have heard of it. Originally, I didn't care, but I didn't expect that this time the sky test would be in Shidu Township, so I had the heart to explore. To be honest, I didn't believe it much before, but when I met the people of the Fifth Guard here, I believed it even more. Bai Qingjiu smiled slightly.

"It is rumored that there has always been a strange treasure hidden in the center of Shidu Township, and it is this strange treasure that causes such a strange environment in Shidu Township. ”

"The rotting incense in the swamp, the fluctuating temperature, are all caused by this strange treasure. And recently, the time for the birth of this strange treasure is coming, if you miss this time, this strange treasure will be completely integrated with the swamp of Shidu Township, and there will be no chance to obtain the treasure in the future. ”

Yi Kui frowned: "What kind of strange treasure, what effect has it achieved, and from whom did this rumor come from?"

A smile appeared on Bai Qingjiu's face, and he replied: "I don't know anything about this, these gossip are all clueless, so I don't really believe this rumor." If it weren't for the fact that the heavenly survey was carried out in Shidu Township, I would have come in here to take a look. But this time I actually met the people of the Empire in the Forest of Thorns, maybe this rumor is still somewhat credible, otherwise what would the Imperial Guard do here?"

Her expression changed, and she suddenly looked at Yi Qi and asked in surprise: "Speaking of which, how did you get to the Forest of Thorns? The Forest of Thorns is already the center of Shidu Township, and the influence of the rotten miasma here cannot be underestimated, even my strength has been suppressed a lot. Judging from your breath, I am only a double heaven, how can a cultivator of the double heaven have the ability to come here! With the strength of the miasma here, the cultivator of the double heaven has already been eroded into stone. ”

At this mention, Bai Qingjiu looked at Yi Kui more and more suspiciously, could it be that there was something on him to avoid poison? She had never heard of anything that could actually avoid the miasma of Shidu Township, if there were, the danger of Shidu Township would plummet.

Or is he actually hiding his strength?

But she faintly felt that something was wrong, if she hid her strength, she couldn't see any clues, could it be much stronger than her? Suddenly remembering the first time the boy met her, she accidentally injured this person when she hunted the rabbit, if the strength was far more than the double heaven, how could it be impossible to be hit by her ice pick at that time.

What the hell is going on? Does he really have a treasure to avoid poison?

Bai Qingjiu would not have thought that her doubts were also a big mystery to Yi Qi.

Hearing the girl say this, he thought that when he was still with Shi Jin before, Shi Jin's strength had obviously dropped much faster than him. They didn't pay attention to it at the time, but now that they think about it, the problem is on themselves.

But why this is happening, Yi Kui can't figure it out, so he can only leave it behind and wait for the opportunity to explore it well.

So, in the face of the girl's questions, he could only remain silent.

Seeing that Yi Xiao avoided talking about it, Bai Qingjiu couldn't help it, just when he had something unspeakable. Who doesn't have a little bit of their own secrets?

Yi Kui didn't delve into what she said, and she naturally wouldn't get to the bottom of him.

The return journey was very smooth, after all, it was a girl who had walked it, and there was no need for Yi Kui to rely on experience and luck to judge which way to go, just Bai Qingjiu pointed the way. Fortunately, this girl's ability to recognize the road is good, and she remembers the road clearly.

With someone as a companion, the dim and depressing monotonous environment of Shidu Township has become less eye-catching.

It didn't take long for the thorns ahead to become more and more sparse, and it seemed that he would soon be able to leave the Forest of Thorns completely.

Yi Xiao's face finally gradually showed relief.

As soon as his mind relaxed a little, he had time to observe Bai Qingjiu next to him.

A girl in the prime of her cardamom years, her temples are as black as a crow, her skin is like clotted fat, and she is as delicate as a flower, but her expression is different from that of ordinary girls, and she is slightly cold. I really couldn't imagine that the little girl who looked so weak could be so strong and strong, and she would hardly fall behind in a fight with the two Quadruple Heaven cultivators, if it weren't for the terrain being too unfavorable for her, it wouldn't be his turn to help.

She has great strength at such a young age, and she must have the support of a big family like Shi Jin behind her, and she is such a talented cultivation wizard, it should be beneficial to befriend her.

Yi Qi looked at her side face and thought silently in his heart, not wanting Bai Qingjiu to secretly glance at him at this time, and the eyes of the two collided at once.

Bai Qingjiu was embarrassed, stumbling and said: "You, where was the phantom cat you were last time? Why didn't you see it......

Yi Xiao patted the beast bag on his waist and smiled, "Naturally, I brought it, and I want to thank you for the reminder last time." ”

Bai Qingjiu looked at his clear smile and eased his embarrassment slightly, stroked his sideburns and smiled, "No, I haven't thanked you for saving your life." But the phantom cat doesn't like the small space of the Beast Bag at all, and it will be angry if it keeps putting it in the bag?"

Yi Kui thought of every time he stuffed that little guy into the pouch of the beast, its resentful little eyes couldn't help but smile, and nodded in agreement: "It's quite reluctant. ”

"It will be much better when you enter the secret realm and have your own house. However, the phantom cat is precious, if you have spare money, ask a talisman master to engrave some protective array texts. ”

Yi Xiao's heart moved, silently wrote down her words, and then listened to her voice, and said, "Before...... When you helped me get out of danger, that bronze bell was the famous soul choke bell in your clan, right? It's the first time I've seen it, and the cultivators of the Four Heavens have no power to resist it, and it's really not in vain. ”

Yi Xiao was stunned, the soul bell?

He turned over his hand and took out a rusty copper bell, pinched it in the palm of his hand and looked into Bai Qingjiu's eyes, and asked, "Do you know this?"
