Volume 2 The Remnant of Time Chapter 368 Is This Like It?
"Since you're here, why don't you travel to Wuling with me and see the peach blossoms all over the city again?"
The man's voice came from the mountainside.
The tone is ethereal and reverberates on the mountain road.
"This guy seems to be ......"
"That old friend of yours."
Lu Sandao came to Chu Qingxiao's side and muttered in a low voice.
The mountain path is very dark, and only the main hall of the Divine Peak of Ganquan Peak that stands on the mountainside has two big red lanterns hanging on both sides of the door.
But the light shining from the lantern was not bright.
It's eerie and scarlet.
It makes the majestic hall on this mountain road look a little weird, as if it is a hell that leads to the Nine Shadows.
And the man standing in front of the temple gate, his side face was illuminated by the scarlet light in the lantern, and his body was filled with the same strange aura, just looking at it made people feel their scalp tingle.
Chu Qingxiao also frowned and looked at each other.
Although the vision on the mountain road is extremely poor, and although the aura around the other party is completely different from before.
But Chu Qingxiao still recognized the other party.
That person was Xiang An, who was destroyed by Chu Qingxiao yesterday.
"There's a big weirdness in this guy!"
"Xiao Qingxiao, you can't be fooled!" Lu Sandao said in a low voice again, the expression on her face was extremely solemn, and one hand kept pressing on the hilt of her knife, not daring to let go for a moment.
This is a rare thing, or something that Chu Qingxiao has never seen.
Ever since he accepted the commission in Qinghuan Mansion and became attached to Lu Sandao because of wine, Lu Sandao has always been a big grin.
Whether Chu Qingxiao offended Liuhuan Peak and fled with Sun Li.
Or the six-church trial that was full of crises later.
This Lu Zhenshou behaved calmly enough, and even these things together seemed to be less important to Lu Zhenshou than a pot of wine.
But now facing Xiang An, she is extremely nervous.
This says a lot about something.
But in the face of Lu Sandao's warning, Chu Qingxiao had a wry smile on his face, he looked sideways around, and the water wall spread by the turbid water completely sealed the retreat of the two, and there was only one step turned by the turbid water leading to the Divine Peak Hall.
That's the only way.
"Are you sure to rush out?" Chu Qingxiao looked at Lu Sandao and asked.
Lu Sandao was stunned for a moment, looked sideways at the turbid water surging around him, and his face was also filled with bitterness.
Just now, with the tacit cooperation between her and Chu Qingxiao, they did completely destroy the turbid water of the words and Tang Zhengde.
But that's only a small part of the Divine Turbid Water, and it's just one of the many desolate means that control these Divine Turbid Waters.
Everything in front of them showed that they had been targeted by the desolation, and it was almost impossible to break out of the siege.
Thinking of this, Lu Sandao could only shake his head.
"In that case, let's take a look at what medicine is sold in the other party's gourd first, and then find a chance to escape." Chu Qingxiao said in a low voice.
Lu Sandao blinked his eyes and asked, "Then what if there is no chance to escape?" ”
Chu Qingxiao shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said, "If that's the case, I'm afraid I and Lu Zhenshou will only be able to be companions on Huangquan Road." ”
When Lu Sandao heard this, she blinked her eyes again, and then she smiled coquettishly at Chu Qingxiao at that time: "That's not bad." ”
"After all, Xiao Qingxiao, although you are not handsome, you are quite pleasing to the eye, and my sister can barely accept dying with you."
Chu Qingxiao: "......"
……
Chu Qingxiao sorted out his thoughts, and had no intention of responding to Lu Sandao's ridicule, he took a deep breath at that time, glanced back at Lu Sandao and said: "In short, be careful, if there is a chance, Lu Zhenshou can escape on his own, don't take care of me, I will also find a way to cooperate with Lu Zhenshou." ”
It wasn't because of how righteous Chu Qingxiao was when he said this, but he understood that in terms of the current situation, the possibility of Lu Sandao's escape was obviously much greater than his own-
Although he still didn't know what was going on on Ganquan Peak.
But Xiang An's appearance undoubtedly shows that today's Ganquan Peak has undergone different changes from the Ganquan Peak led by Zhou Sheng yesterday.
The invitation to the banquet initiated by him was naturally aimed at him.
Therefore, if there is really a possibility of escape, compared to himself, Lu Sandao has a greater chance.
"Xiao Qingxiao, you are really a responsible man, sister, I like you more and more."
I don't know if I recognized the fact that I couldn't get out, Lu Sandao regained her unobtrusive temperament, and teased at that time.
Chu Qingxiao was a little helpless about this, he no longer responded to Lu Sandao's ridicule, turned his head and raised his feet, stepped up the steps made of the divine turbid water, and walked towards the main hall of the divine peak step by step.
……
The steps were not too long, and soon Chu Qingxiao and Lu Sandao came to the door of the Shenfeng Hall.
The moment the two of them stepped up the last step, the turbid water surging behind them collapsed in an instant, turning into a puddle of mud, pouring into Xiang An's body and disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Although from the moment Xiang An appeared, Chu Qingxiao realized that he was very likely to have a connection with the desolation that now controlled the entire Ganquan Peak, but after witnessing the scene of the turbid water pouring into Xiang An's body, Chu Qingxiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
At that time, there was also a little more strange in his gaze when he looked at Xiang An.
After Xiang An absorbed the huge amount of divine turbid water, his eyes narrowed, and his face showed a look of intoxication, and when he opened his eyes, he happened to meet Chu Qingxiao's strange gaze.
"Qingxiao, why are you looking at me like this?" He was stunned for a moment, but soon asked with a smile on his face.
His tone was cordial, as if unaffected by the strange atmosphere around him.
The familiar tone and title even made Chu Qingxiao a little dazed at that moment, as if he had returned to his days in Wuling City.
But such an illusion is soon shattered by the harsh reality.
The Xiang An in front of him is no longer the Xiang An of twelve years ago.
Although his appearance was no different from yesterday, there was a gloomy feeling flowing between his eyebrows, even under the scarlet light of the lantern overhead, Chu Qingxiao could see that the skin on his face was terrifyingly white, almost not like a living person.
And what made Chu Qingxiao feel weird the most was that Xiang An was carrying the sword behind his back at this moment.
It wasn't his saber dragon or his red practice.
Because the sword was hidden in the scabbard, Chu Qingxiao couldn't see his whole picture, but on the hilt of the sword, there was a grimace carved, which looked lifelike, as if it was alive, just a glance made Chu Qingxiao's heart feel uncomfortable.
He even felt that compared to Xiang An, who was very likely to be occupied by desolation in front of him, the sword behind him was the most terrifying thing.
Chu Qingxiao took some effort to stabilize his mind, and then he didn't respond to Xiang An's seemingly mild question, but asked straight to the point: "Xiang An, what happened to Ganquan Peak??" ”
"What about the other disciples? What about Lu Qi and Elder Tang? ”
Xiang An heard this, and a smile appeared on his face.
It was supposed to be a big smile, but in the scarlet light overhead, it looked extraordinarily permeating.
He turned his head to look at the silent mountain path and said, "Ganquan Peak is like this, is there any problem?" ”
When he said these words, he looked serious, as if he really didn't notice anything wrong with Ganquan Peak.
Chu Qingxiao's face sank, and he could see that Xiang An was very wrong at this moment.
Not only because of the turbid water related to the desolation, but also because of the aura that permeated his body, madness and chaos.
"Lu Qi, they are waiting for us at the banquet, let's go, I'll take you there." But Xiang An didn't seem to notice the jealousy between Chu Qingxiao's eyebrows, he said enthusiastically, stretched out his hand and put it on Chu Qingxiao's shoulder, as if he was about to take him to the main hall with his back twelve years ago.
It's just that the moment his hand touched Chu Qingxiao's shoulder, Chu Qingxiao felt a piercing chill.
Lu Sandao on the side was also a little sensitive to Xiang An's actions, and one hand almost subconsciously put it on the handle of his knife, but Chu Qingxiao stopped her with his eyes in time.
Lu Sandao received Chu Qingxiao's gaze, she frowned slightly, a little puzzled by this, but in her trust in Chu Qingxiao, she still suppressed the impulse in her heart, withdrew her hand, followed behind Chu Qingxiao, and walked towards the main hall.
Chu Qingxiao let Xiang An's intimate actions and walked with him, and when he came to the door of the main hall, the majestic door slowly opened by itself without anyone touching it.
The door that seemed to open the underworld made a roar, heavy and solemn.
Xiang Anze's face was excited, and at that time, while leading Chu Qingxiao towards the depths of the dark gate, he said, "Qingxiao, look. ”
Hearing this, Chu Qingxiao looked in the direction Xiang An pointed.
I saw a dim light behind the dark gate.
Through those weird and eerie lights, Chu Qingxiao and Lu Sandao could barely see the scene behind the gate.
Behind the gate is a huge yard.
In the middle of the courtyard there are rows of desks, which seem to have been prepared for banquet use.
On both sides of the desk, around the courtyard, there are trees.
The trunks of those trees were pitch black, the branches were twisted, and the lines on them were strange, and above the trees, their branches were bare, as if they had been dead for an unknown amount of time.
But at the end of those branches, there are red flowers growing one after another.
Those flowers are very similar to the shape of peach blossoms.
Compared to peach blossoms, they are larger, brighter, and more scarlet.
It's like it's stained with blood.
And what made Chu Qingxiao feel even more frightened was that there were some strange lines on the trunks of the weird peach trees, and those lines seemed to be alive, constantly changing and wriggling, and they would form painful faces at a certain moment.
It's as if the trunks of these peach trees are imprisoned with living people.
But Xiang An didn't seem to think that this meeting was so inappropriate and weird, he just looked at Chu Qingxiao and asked expectantly.
"How? Qingxiao. ”
"Is this like the peach orchard of Xuandu Temple?"
