Chapter Forty-Eight: The Dryad

At five o'clock in the morning, I felt someone push me to get up, and I turned over and went back to sleep.

"Qingluan, it's time to go, the fox clan gathering place is far away, and your curse can't be delayed, be obedient."

Seeing that I still couldn't afford it, Si Ye pulled me up from the bed and gently rubbed my back to soothe my irritability that I hadn't woken up.

After I finished packing up and went out, I only saw Chen Mo and the three of them moving things to the car.

Yan Qi was carrying a pot to the trunk, Bai Luoyang had just finished putting things away, and wanted to take it when he saw this.

When I said it was too late, I just wanted to remind Yan Qi not to touch Bai Luoyang, but she dodged it by herself, and the hands of the two people were only one inch apart, which was really thrilling.

Seeing Yan Qi dodging me, I breathed a sigh of relief for her, Bai Luoyang was a little strange when he saw her like this, and secretly asked me before getting into the car, "Qingluan, did I make Yan Qi unhappy?" How is she avoiding me? ”

I can only play a round for Yan Qi, "No, don't think about it, we have experienced so many things together and can still let her have an opinion on you because of some trivial things?" Rest assured. ”

Hearing my words, Bai Luoyang relaxed slightly, leaned into the car, Si Ye observed silently on the side, and suddenly said.

"You and Yan Qi seem to have some secrets."

He didn't say a question sentence, but said it in a declarative tone, and I knew that lying couldn't deceive him, so I simply found a reason to prevaricate.

"What's the matter, girls can't have a little secret? Don't ask everything. ”

Si Ye had to be silent and stop talking, I thought that this matter was over, until he suddenly called me again when I sat in the car and drank water.

"Yan Qi won't be alive for long?"

I squirted out a mouthful of water and landed in the front row like a splash.

"Fang Qingluan, you are a demon!"

Yan Qi was talking to Chen Mo with his head sideways, and he was caught off guard by my spray, and he picked with me with his teeth and claws.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm choking."

"Why do you know?"

I was upright in the back seat, but I was actually talking to Si Ye in my heart.

"What Zhang Zhidao said yesterday, Yan Qi is his apprentice, and he can naturally feel it. Alas. ”

Speaking of this, Si Ye sighed and looked out the window, the scenery outside flashed away.

"It was I who forcibly changed the fate of the two of them. I told you before, when I had just become an earth immortal, I also wanted to try to change the fate of others, and it happened that I heard Chen Mo's call at that time, so I arranged for him to meet Yan Qi. ”

"Chen Mo's fate has always followed the original trajectory, and everything in Yan Qi is now out of her original fate, so she has been counterattacked, unless she returns to the right track, otherwise God will erase her life little by little."

Hearing this, my heart swelled up with a sourness, remembering the night when Yan Qi was drunk and telling her thoughts, remembering Chen Mo's hands with knives to comb Yan Qi's hair, such a beautiful thing, but behind it was piled up with blood.

"Then she... How to get back on track? ”

"Yan Qi's original fate did not have Chen Mo. So as long as she leaves Chen Mo, even in the face of danger, she can turn evil into good fortune. ”

Although she and Yan Qi have known each other for a short time, I know that if she is given two options, either to leave Chen Mo or to die, she will definitely choose the latter.

I don't know how Chen Mo will choose, since I promised to keep Yan Qi's secret, I won't take the initiative to mention it to Chen Mo, so I can only find a time to talk to Yan Qi about the pros and cons alone.

It's just that paper can't hold the fire, Chen Mo will finally know the day, and I don't know how he will choose at that time. This feeling of knowing that sooner or later we will be separated makes me very depressed, what is the difference between us and ordinary people in the face of nature and fate, just ants.

The base of the fox clan is colder than Jiangbei, this way over, the clothes changed from summer clothes to autumn clothes, Yan Qi lived up to her love of beauty, even if she shivered from the cold when parking, she did not change the cheongsam on her body.

This place has entered the territory of the Oriental Horse Immortal Family, and the land that can be seen is sparsely populated and the woods are lush.

We stopped at the entrance of the forest to rest, and then the car could not drive in, only people walked in, it is said that through the forest is the base of the fox clan, but this through the forest is a technical work, there are not only all kinds of spirits in it, but also the mountain god guards, unknown dangers are full of it.

We picked up the charcoal fire and set up a pot to cook the noodles, and the fragrance spread from here, and also attracted the attention of some small animals wandering in the mountains and forests, and there were always shaking grasses and flashing small figures in the trees.

Although it smells very good, several of us are a little bit unate, this side is sparsely populated, we haven't changed to other food for two days, as soon as the meal arrives, it is instant noodles. Suddenly, I saw a dusty figure, a hare!

Just about to chase after him, he was stopped by Chen Mo, "Rabbits can't be eaten." ”

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that I was puzzled, Yan Qi explained to me, "There are four races of immortals in the East who have been strong over the years, one is the fox, the second is the snake, the third is the weasel, and the fourth is the rabbit. ”

Hearing Yan Qi say this, I had no choice but to dispel my thoughts, there is a reason why cultivators don't commit murder, once they meet an immortal family who has become a refinement, killing others and their own hard work for decades will be in vain.

Chen Mo took down a bow from the car, and the sharp arrow flashed with cold light, "If you can't eat, wait first, there should be pheasants around here." I'll go in and earn. ”

Then he went into the forest, Bai Luoyang also followed, Si Ye originally wanted to stay here and wait, but he reluctantly followed under my desperate eyes, I sent him a message, "I have a whisper to talk about with Yan Qi, what else can we say if you stay as a light bulb." ”

Taking advantage of this time, I conveyed what Si Ye told me to Yan Qi, and I felt sorry for Si Ye for changing their fate without their knowledge.

"Yan Qi, there is one thing I have thought about for a long time, don't be angry when you hear it, in fact, in your original destiny trajectory, you will not meet Chen Mo, you will become an excellent ghost cultivator, Chen Mo will succeed step by step without your help, it is a little twists and turns. But Si Ye brought you to Chen Mo and indirectly changed the trajectory of your fate, so you will encounter all kinds of dangerous things, if you say..."

I really couldn't bear to say the next words, my fist clenched and loosened, Yan Qi saw that I looked like I was a little clear, but comforted me, "You just say, there is nothing I can't accept." ”

Seeing her so frank, I took a deep breath and said with difficulty, "If you don't leave Chen Mo, you will slowly move towards death." ”

After hearing this, Yan Qi smiled, "It's not good to be angry, on the contrary, I am a little grateful to Si Ye, at least for giving the two of us a chance to get to know each other." Maybe my life was very smooth, but in my current opinion, life without Chen Mo is not perfect. ”

Yan Qi's will was very firm, so I didn't say anything more, just as I was talking, the three of them had already returned, Bai Luoyang was all wet, but he was holding a few fresh and fat fish in his hands, Chen Mo also caught two pheasants, it seems that he can eat a good meal before entering the forest.

Chen Mo's cooking skills are simply speechless, I am still curious how a person like him, who was born as a young master, would do such a thing, so he talked about the incident when He Yanqi fled for his life, and we listened quietly on the side.

"You can ask Yan Qi, how hard we lived at that time, my parents just died, and the body was not brought back, and the Chen family had no backbone, and some people with other thoughts stood up."

"At that time, I also had an uncle who wanted to sit in that position, but if he sat in that position, he had to get rid of me first, because the Chen family had hereditary rules. So he was hunted down. ”

"That will be too weak, stay in the Chen family and only wait for death, so I will take Yan Qi out and run for my life."

"It was still two children, and I couldn't make money, I didn't say anything when I was hungry, Yan Qi was hungry and anxious, so I went out to steal and rob, and brought it back to eat with me, then I found out the advantages of her fast running, and took her to practice light skills."

"Hahaha, off-topic, my cooking skills are what I can practice, you also saw it when you lived with Yan Qi during the spell competition, she didn't even know how to tidy up and comb her hair, she was just a little procrastinator."

The food gradually exuded a fragrance under Chen Mo's hands, I looked up at Yan Qi, her eyes were bright, although it would be very hard to live, but she must have missed it too.

She and Chen Mo have experienced so much together, how can they let go easily?

After eating, we parked the car in a hidden place, and set off in full gear, Yan Qi also changed into long sleeves and trousers under the threat of Chen Mo, mainly because of the distribution of weeds inside, according to Bai Luoyang, the weeds when approaching the river have grown to people's knees, and some poisonous snakes or insects like to ambush inside.

For the sake of safety, Si Ye took the lead, and after Chen Mo's Palace, we walked in in a line, and sure enough, as Bai Luoyang said, the more we walked in, the higher the grass would be, and Si Ye stepped on the grass in front of us in order to facilitate our walk.

I don't know how long I walked, but I came to a fork in the road, because the vision was very dark inside, I couldn't see clearly, but I found that the grass over there was a little different.

"Wait a minute, you see the grass over there, it looks like someone has stepped on it."

Hearing my words, Si Ye went over and took a look, "Someone has been here, and the grass has been trampled down." ”

There are a few footprints on the ground, but they are really not clear, Si Ye directly pressed the air, and a few footprints clearly appeared, and at a cursory glance, there were about three people.

"Maybe it's an inverted fight. Otherwise, ordinary people can't go to this depth. Let's go ahead and take a look. ”

Now that someone had already helped us find our way, we simply followed the ready-made path, which was a little different from our original route, but only a little detour.

"Help!"

Halfway through, we suddenly heard a faint cry for help coming from ahead, and the sound was some distance away from us, so we quickened our pace to find out.

The next thing we saw was a scalp-numbing scene, near the exit was hundreds of vines waving, like a tentacle monster in a movie, a fat man was swept in the air by tentacles, crying dad and mother.

"God, the fairy boss passing by, my mother, I'm a stinky fortune teller, please don't kill me, come and save me."

The fat man's tears and snot were so muddy on his face that he was almost buried to death.

The vine tossed the fat man around, howled in the air, and when he turned his head, he saw us, and his small slitted eyes burst into light in an instant.

"Immortal Monarch! Fairy mother! Please save me, I will definitely be a cow and a horse for you! ”

The shout of the fat man of Gu Yue successfully made the dryad notice us, something was surging under the fallen leaves, and Bai Luoyang stood on the very edge, and he was entangled in his ankle and hung up without noticing.

He took out a piece of talisman paper from his arms, speaking of which, he still pestered Si Ye to teach him, and he has not practiced for a few days, but according to Si Ye's reaction, Bai Luoyang is much more talented than me, I have practiced for two months and I can't draw fire talismans, Bai Luoyang will be in a week.

At this time, Bai Luoyang was holding a fire talisman, afraid that the rune paper would not be thrown on the tree vine in the air, Bai Luoyang put the rune paper on the bow and arrow, and shot out, and on the vine that was wrapped around him, the flames instantly swallowed half of the vine branches, and Bai Luoyang fell to the ground.

There were too many vines, and after Bai Luoyang burned one, it made it angry, and it shook even more crazily, and even the fat man with Gu Yue suffered.

Seeing his pale face and covering his mouth with one hand, I felt that he was about to vomit in the next second.

During this period, we found a phenomenon, that is, we didn't get out of the bushes just now, but Bai Luoyang stood out with one foot but was targeted, so it is speculated that the range of this vine attack is limited, and the bushes we are staying in are the areas where it cannot approach.

"Bai Luoyang, come to our side, that tree demon can't come here!"

We shouted Bai Luoyang here, but he didn't leave immediately after he landed, looked up at Gu Yue in mid-air, and resolutely stepped on the vines and rushed up.

Cultivators, the most taboo is not to see death without saving, although there is no hard requirement, but we can't pass the level of our own hearts, even if Bai Luoyang doesn't go up, we will eventually save this fat man, he just did it for us.

He first shot an arrow at the vine that bound Gu Yue, because he was blocked by the rest of the vine branches, it was bounced next to Gu Yue, and the fire instantly ignited, and even Gu Yue was trapped in it.

"Immortal Monarch, I am a good citizen, why do you even kill me."

Bai Luoyang smiled embarrassedly, but there was no time to be distracted, the current situation was mixed, Gu Yue was thrown off by the vine branches, but ordinary people fell from that height and were either dead or disabled, Bai Luoyang wanted to catch him, but he was made out of it by more vine branches.

Chen Mo's feet moved, and he wanted to rush up, but he was pulled by Yan Qi, and when he reacted, Yan Qi had already rushed up.

Yan Qi's body is light, coupled with the excellent light exercises, she shuttles in it like a swallow, because some of Gu Yue's snot and tears have fallen on her clothes, which makes her a little disgusted, and she only reached out to grab the fat man's belt, and the weightlessness that fell from the air almost made Gu Yue's back breath.

Yan Qi directly brought the person back and threw it aside, Gu Yue didn't care about thanking him, and threw himself behind the tree.

"Yan Qi, pull me!"

Bai Luoyang's voice sounded after Yan got up, taking advantage of the time when Yan Qi rescued Gu Yue, he had already shot three arrows on the trunk in a row, most of the trunk was set on fire, probably because of the pain, the vines danced wildly, Bai Luoyang ran to safety, just one step away.

Yan Qi stretched out his hand and grabbed Bai Luoyang's hand in mid-air, and at that moment, Bai Luoyang's eyes were enlarged, and his face was incredulous.
