When Shen Yuan and Songbai came to the valley, because the underworld was always dimly lit, they supported each other and walked along the stream that reflected the natural light to collect medicine.

In Shen Yuan's opinion, the flowers and plants that grow almost the same are all treasures to the pines and cypresses. Along the way, the exclamations of the pines and cypresses did not stop.

In his free time, Songbai would complain, "Why are there so many rare herbs in the valley, but Master didn't allow us to come over before?" ”

Shen Yuan bowed his head and walked forward silently without replying, but what he thought in his heart was: How many days have it been since he entered the master's door, of course, there will be many places that he has not visited. And the strength was too weak before, even if you come, you may not be able to protect yourself if you encounter problems.

When he suddenly came back to his senses, Shen Yuan felt that his mental activities were so rich, as if he had been infected by Jiuyou.

Thinking that Jiuyou had noticed that he seemed to imitate the actions of ordinary people in the world, he secretly sighed that Jiuyou really knew him. Because, as the most vivid life around him, he sometimes imitates Jiuyou.

Songbai didn't get a response from Shen Yuan, and he wasn't surprised. Because in his eyes, Shen Yuan often lives in his own world, and he is quite slow to respond to others other than Jiuyou.

As everyone knows, in Shen Yuan's eyes, he is almost as dull.

The two of them went deeper and deeper, and when they could barely see the Ming Yan Hall at the highest point of the Five Elements Sect, Songbai still did not stop collecting medicine.

The Qiankun bag that the Nether King gave him at the beginning can hold all things inside, not to mention herbs, so he naturally has as many as he wants, and he is not merciless.

Shen Yuan doesn't need to identify herbs, nor does he need to help Songbai get medicine, he just needs to help Songbai when he wants to pick medicine in a remote location. The division of labor between the two is also easy.

After estimating that the time was almost there, Shen Yuan reminded Songbai, "Master said that we should return to our own residence before the bird calls, whether we have finished collecting the medicine or not. ”

When the birds are calling, isn't it the time to rest?

Songbai woke up like a dream, put the herbs in his hand into the Qiankun bag, checked it, and exclaimed, "I picked all the medicinal materials that I thought were useful, but I haven't found the list of medicinal materials that Master listed for me!" ”

What the master listed for him was naturally the medicine for Jiuyou. Hearing him say this, Shen Yuan was speechless for a while, and could only urge him to hurry up and collect the medicine, "If you didn't bring back the medicinal materials that should have been collected, even if you don't think about Jiuyou, Master will definitely blame you." ”

"You're right." Songbai suddenly realized that he hurriedly collected medicine according to the list.

***

"Senior brother, do you know that every time you pick me up, I think of an animal."

On the way back to the Five Elements Sect, Jiuyou suddenly said this to Jin Cheng.

"Oh?" Jin Cheng was intrigued by her thoughts, "What kind of animal could it be?" Let me guess, it must be a very flexible animal, right? ”

"Almost."

Jin Cheng felt that he was familiar with Jiuyou, so he didn't care that flying too fast would make her cold, and only pursued speed, so he used her favorite spiral flying method, which looked like a monkey somersault, and she almost played with a golden hoop stick.

Jiuyou was embarrassed to tell him what he thought in his heart, and after Jin Cheng landed steadily, he seriously suggested to him, "I will tell Master that in the future, I will use the Hades Book to go home by myself, so that I don't have to bother you to pick you up, so that you can have more time for cultivation." ”

Jiuyou had been thinking about this question for a long time, and she had secretly practiced it with the Hades Book. Teleportation, of course, is much faster than human, and even more powerful than living plug-ins.

She also wanted to use this to test whether Jin Cheng was really willing to pick her up, and if Jin Cheng agreed to her proposal, he probably didn't value her so much.

Jin Cheng said: "It's okay to think about this question, but Master has long said that picking you up and dropping you off is an auxiliary role, and training the five of us is the main purpose." I'll mention this to Master when you grow up, so you don't have to worry. ”

Hearing Jin Cheng say this, Jiuyou couldn't help but sigh at his sense of responsibility as a senior brother. She couldn't help but retort to him jokingly and half-seriously, "I'm not in a hurry. When I'm in a hurry, it's usually a big scene that I can't see. ”

Jiu Youxin said, she speaks so slowly, how can you hear that I'm in a hurry? When she's in a hurry, she's talking faster than she's talking about your fight.

Her inner complaint seemed to be confirmed, and as soon as she stepped through the door, a spirit servant hurriedly greeted her.

Jiu You frowned when he saw the always expressionless spirit servant, and he felt that it was quite novel, so he opened his mouth and said something to make him relax, "What delicious food did you prepare today?" It's not the meat that Shen Yuan personally gave me, and I won't eat it. ”

Who knew that when she mentioned Shen Yuan, the spirit servant's eyes suddenly widened, and she said in a panic, "There are no three masters, no meat to eat." The second master came back by himself, but the third master did not come back. ”

Because the spirit servants are not good at communicating with people, it is very difficult for them to organize language, and they usually appear everywhere in the Five Elements Sect like transparent people. When you see a few of their disciples, you don't salute like human slaves. But this servant opened his mouth and called them masters, and he thought that this should be how he should have seen them.

Jiuyou immediately reacted: "You mean, the second senior brother and Shen Yuan went out together, but only the second senior brother came back, and Shen Yuan didn't come back?" ”

The speed and pitch of her speech increased as she spoke, and the servant was stunned for a moment, then nodded hurriedly.

Jin Cheng listened to the gossip behind him, quickly found the right direction, and went to the Changke Courtyard where Songbai lived with him.

Songbai really stayed in his bedroom, hiding his face and lying on the bed, as if he had been greatly wronged.

Jin Cheng hurriedly verified with him what the spirit servant said: "Didn't you and the third child go to collect medicine today?" Why are you the only one coming back, the third child? What about Master? What about the others? ”

Yes, along the way, not only Shen Yuan was not there, but the only thing that could be seen in the courtyard was the spirit servant. At this time, everyone except Master should gather together and get ready to eat.

"They all ......" Songbai's voice sounded like he was afraid of something, and he choked up for a long time before he held back a sentence, "Go find Shen Yuan." ”

"Where to find the abyss?" Jiuyou stepped forward and stared at the expression on Songbai's face.

Songbai avoided her gaze, buried his face in the pillow, and made an ostrich to escape reality, and waited for a long time before he said sullenly, "In the valley, I don't know the specific road, but we walked straight for a long time, and it should not be close to the entrance of the valley." ”

Jiuyou didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly instructed Jin Chengdao, "Let's go separately, if we find Shen Yuan, I will let the gold dust firefly inform you." ”

After speaking, she took out the book of the underworld, and according to what Songbai said, first find the entrance to the valley, and after casting the spell, disappear without a trace.

Jin Cheng hurriedly set off to find Su Youjun for help, leaving Songbai alone in the room, and experienced being "abandoned" by others twice, thinking that Shen Yuan would definitely be punished no matter whether there was anything wrong with him, and he couldn't help but feel sad.

***

Jiuyou has a wide fan, and the speed of finding people is extremely fast. On the way, she met Blazing Yang, although Blazing Yang was full of anxiety, he still couldn't help but intercede for his good brother, hoping that she could help persuade Shen Yuan not to embarrass Songbai.

Jiuyou rarely didn't answer Chi Yang in a playful tone, and only said with a cold face, "I'm not qualified to promise anything for others." ”

With that, she quickly floated away.

Except for Blazing Sun, she didn't meet Master and other senior brothers again, and it was conceivable that they must have gone further than her.

She searched carefully, and as long as she saw traces of clothes that seemed to be worn by Shen Yuan in mid-air, she would come down to check. It was tedious, but it was useful, because she followed a few pieces of the fabric of Shen Yuan's clothes, and finally found the motionless Shen Abyss surrounded by boulders and bushes.

She was overjoyed, just came to Shen Yuan's side, saw him covered in scars, and before she could think about whether to wake him up, the sound of rain suddenly sounded around her.

She looked up and found herself in the rain.

After waking up after falling into Jasper Lake, she once told a small lie in order to avoid psychological pressure on Su Youjun, saying that she was just drenched in heavy rain.

And Ye Yan later casually told her that in the underworld, except for his hometown, there would be no changes in the four seasons, rain, snow, thunder and lightning at all. Because the underworld is already below the ground, and the sky in the underworld is the ground that people usually recognize, how can there be celestial changes on the ground?

But the current spectacle of rain makes Jiuyou, who has not seen rain for many days, not surprised at all. She knelt beside Shen Yuan, and in vain stretched out her little hand to protect Shen Yuan's face from the rain, but she couldn't even protect herself, how could she protect Shen Yuan, who was already soaked all over her body.

Jiuyou was afraid that Shen Yuan would lose his body temperature due to the rain and inability to move, and the picture of touching his face and feeling the temperature on the first day of entering the underworld seemed to reappear in front of him.

She put a hand on the major artery on Shen Yuan's neck, and her small body slowly lay on Shen Yuan's body, and the position of the headrest avoided Shen Yuan's heart, hoping to help Shen Yuan's body keep warm in this way.

The rain was pouring down on her, and it was cold. Jiuyou actually knew for a long time why Nether-kun and Jin Cheng were such smart people, one favored her as much as possible, and the other did not deny her "undead" rhetoric, it was because she was indeed a poor undead.

The five senior brothers are all elves and have humanoid spirit bodies, but as an undead, she does not have the luxury of being a spirit body.

Therefore, in all probability, she will not produce spiritual sickness of people. Take falling into the lake that day, she obviously can't swim, and she didn't feel pain in the water.

But she would have fallen unconscious, and if she hadn't been rescued by Shen Yuan, she would probably have disappeared into the lake.

She has no "form" but no "body", safe, but also dangerous. The safe thing is that she doesn't get hurt at every turn, and the dangerous thing is that she can disappear so easily as if she never existed.

Just like she saw Shen Yuan's situation, but she didn't feel uncomfortable like a knife, only superficial anxiety, not much.

The rain still had no intention of stopping, and Shen Yuan's body never warmed up.

And the gold dust fireflies gradually flew out of Jiuyou's cuffs, and with the will of their masters, they each found a direction to inform the others.
