Quiver......

The sinkhole was shaking, and every now and then rubble fell from the top.

Ji Huo'er, on the other hand, tied a slender rope around his waist, stuck to the stone wall of the sinkhole like a gecko, and then grabbed the torch with one hand and a delicate small shovel in the other, carefully digging a purple-red plant in the crack of the stone.

A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour......

Half an hour passed, beads of sweat hung all over Ji Huo'er's cheeks, tiredness filled Ji Huo'er's eyes, the firelight was swaying, and Ji Huo'er couldn't see things clearly.

But Ji Huo'er still gritted his teeth and insisted, blinked his eyes vigorously, and continued to dig up the extremely rare plant little by little with a medical hoe.

Three quarters of an hour, four quarters of an hour, a whole hour passed.

There was a soft "pop", and as the last piece of gravel was cleared, the plants in the cracks of the stone were finally successfully picked.

Ji Huo'er threw away the medicine hoe, carefully put the picked plant into a black wooden box with excellent shading, and then stuffed it into his clothes, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, Ji Huo'er pulled the rope tied to his body hard, and immediately a strong pulling force came, dragging Ji Huo'er's entire body towards the top of the sinkhole.

After reaching the top, five or six people reached out, grabbed Ji Huo'er's body, and pulled Ji Huo'er out of the sinkhole.

"How's it going?"

"Of course it worked! I said it, with my flexible skills, I can definitely dig up this purple incense in one go. Although Ji Huo'er was tired, she couldn't hide her pride.

"Hey!" a man in the crowd stomped his foot fiercely, and said with a bit of anger, "Who asked you this, I am asking, how are you doing?

"Oh...... This ah......" Ji Huo'er's voice stagnated slightly, and the next moment his tone raised, and he said very angrily, "Of course not, don't worry, Brother Xue." ”

"Alas. That Brother Xue didn't say anything more this time, just let out a long sigh.

"Ah, by the way, that third sister, have you found out the news of the Earth's Heart Fire Lotus?" Ji Huo'er suddenly opened her mouth and asked a woman in the crowd again, "Now that Bai Yuguizhi and Jiang Zixiang have been found, according to what the bastard said before, as long as the Earth-Heart Fire Lotus is found again, Brother Xue's illness will be saved." ”

"This ......"

"You mean!" Ji Huo'er said hurriedly, "If you find it, you find it, and if you don't find it, you don't find it." ”

"Found it, but found it......" The third sister said with a little hesitation.

"Found it? That's good. What's the matter, third sister, is there a problem?"

"Well, that's a bit of a problem. ”

"What's the problem?"

"The place I'm looking for is Huoyun Mountain. ”

"Huoyun Mountain, what's wrong with Huoyun Mountain?"

"In the belly of this Huoyun Mountain, there is a fire well?"

"Fire wells, why are they called fire wells and not water wells?"

"For there is no water in this well, only fire, liquid fire in the center of the earth. ”

"Earth-centered liquid fire?" Ji Huo'er was slightly stunned, but the next moment he didn't care, "I see, I thought there was something, so let's go look for it tomorrow and see if I can meet the Earth-centered Fire Lotus."

"No, absolutely not!" Immediately, someone didn't dare, and Brother Xue said, "Eighth sister, this matter can't be reckless! After all, that fire well is not a joke, once it touches the ground fire and erupts, even the corpse can't be left." I know you're thinking about me and doing my good, but you can't joke with your life. Otherwise, even if you get the Earth Core Fire Lotus back, I won't eat it. ”

"Brother Xue!" Ji Huo'er expressed his dissatisfaction.

But Brother Xue was very firm, "No, no, no! Even if I die, I can't let you take this risk!"

"Hmph!" Ji Huo'er lost her temper, frowning, pouting, and stomping her feet.

......

Quiver......

The ground was shaking, and the ground of the Black Flag Army's temporary garrison was shaking.

Xu Ji looked at the beating dust on the ground, his eyebrows couldn't help but raise, and the next moment, he strode out of the general's tent.

As a result, as soon as the big tent came out, Xu Ji saw Jiang Sheng leading a group of people on guard.

"What's the situation?" asked Xu Ji.

Jiang Sheng pointed in one direction in the night, and said very simply, "At least fifty horses, the meaning is unknown." ”

Fifty horsemen, fifty horsemen, where did they come from, what are you doing at such a late hour?

The thoughts in Xu Ji's mind turned several times, but he didn't think of a reasonable explanation, and immediately frowned slightly.

"Da Da Da", the sound of horses' hooves approached, the ground trembled more obviously, and then a large group of cavalry showed its silhouette in the night, forming a triangular arrow formation, and was rushing along the road, rushing rapidly.

The speed has not slowed down in the slightest.

Jiang Sheng's face changed slightly, looking at the cavalry formation that was getting closer and closer, he had already commanded the soldiers under his command to draw their bows and string them, pointing at these people from afar......

"Da da da", the sound of horses' hooves became louder, and these galloping cavalry were also closer, so close that Xu Ji could see the battle armor they were wearing.

The color of the armor is golden, the surface is depicted with the sun, moon and stars, and on the chest is carved a golden dragon, a lifelike golden dragon that seems to fly out.

This is!

Xu Ji's eyes shrank slightly, and he finally recognized the identities of these people, and with a wave of his hand, he directly asked Jiang Sheng to remove the person who was aiming at the arrow.

"Huh?", Jiang Sheng was a little puzzled, but he still quickly obeyed this order.

"Da Da Da", the sound of horses' hooves was loud, like thunder, and the entire cavalry team had arrived in front of the camp in a blink of an eye.

Five zhang, three zhang, one zhang, the distance is getting closer, getting closer and closer......

And it was not until the distance was shortened to less than half a foot that the leading rider in the cavalry began to pull the reins, and then all the riders pulled the reins together.

The next moment, with a "hissing", the front hooves of the entire team rose into the air, and fell to the ground again, smashing countless deep pits on the ground. The entire cavalry team was extremely neatly parked in front of the Black Flag barracks' tent.

This equestrian is simply terrifying.

"Smack", the leading cavalry jumped off his horse and looked at Xu Ji.

Xu Ji's eyes flashed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice: "The golden dragon rode here, is it an order from His Majesty?"

"Yes, it doesn't. "Rider Road.

"What do you mean?" asked Xu Ji.

"Let's come here, naturally it was Your Majesty's words, otherwise no one in the entire Great Moon Country would be able to use our Golden Dragon Ride. However, the order conveyed was not His Majesty's, but that of Qin Tianjian. ”

"Qin Tianjian's, what are Qin Tianjian's orders?"

"This matter has to start with the urgent performance of Jiannan County a few days ago. It is said in the chapter that there are demons in Ping'an County under the rule, with heavy casualties, and the incident happened suddenly, and it has been cut first and then played, and you are ordered to suppress the demons by the Black Flag Army. Then ask Your Majesty to make a decision. After His Majesty found out, he valued it very much, so he directly used Qin Tianjian. As a result, several adults of the Qin Heavenly Prison stargazed for three consecutive nights, and came up with a very unbelievable result......" The rider said here, looking at Xu Ji with a slightly strange gaze.

"What result?" Xu Ji frowned.

"This, General Xu, it's better for you to see it for yourself. The rider said, then took out a gorgeous yellow scroll and handed it over.

Xu Ji took it, unfolded the yellow scroll, swept it hurriedly, and then his face changed slightly. Becoming a little shocked and a little annoyed, he looked up at the rider after half a ring, frowned deeply, and still asked with some disbelief, "Is this true?"

"It's really not true, I can't guarantee it, but the official seal of this Qin Tianjian will not be fake, and His Majesty's order is not fake. The rest, what is going on and how to do it, it depends on General Xu. The rider said slowly, then nodded respectfully, turned to get on his horse and leave.

As a result, when he was about to jump on the horse, the rider seemed to suddenly think of something, turned his head to look at Xu Ji again, and said, "By the way, before I left Lanjing, Princess Ziyang once asked her subordinates to bring you a word to the general. ”

"What?"

"Princess Ziyang said, if you can catch the ape demon or the monkey demon this time, it would be best to send it to Lanjing to deal with it. ”

"Why?"

Princess Ziyang said that she heard that the brains of such monsters are more spiritual, which is conducive to cultivation, so she wants to give it a try. Of course, if not, the general would not have to bother. ”

Xu Ji pursed his lips, then nodded, and said, "I wrote it down." ”

"Okay, that's the end of the matter, and my subordinates are going back to protect Lan Jing. See you back, General Xu. As he spoke, the rider turned on his horse, then turned his horse's head and roared into the darkness with the man, and vanished.

And Xu Ji looked at the direction in which these people left, but he thought for a long time and was silent for a long time.

Jiang Sheng was on the side, and asked with some curiosity, "General, what did those old decays of the Qin Heavenly Prison say?"

Xu Ji raised his head and glared at Jiang Sheng fiercely, "What are you doing with so many mouths, just do your part." “

"Oh. Jiang Sheng hurriedly bowed his head, and heard Xu Ji continue, "By the way, you inform the whole army to prepare, and after dawn, return to the camp." ”

"Return to the camp, we won't kill the demons?" Jiang Shengleng.

"What nonsense, listen to orders!" Xu Ji scolded angrily.

"Yes, my subordinates have orders. Jiang Sheng's body trembled, and he hurriedly said. It's just that his eyes are still strange, and he muttered in a low voice, "Really don't suppress demons? Could it be that Qin Tianjian won't let you suppress it? No, what did Qin Tianjian say?"

......

Quiver......

The grass and trees were trembling, and the beautiful woman's body fell from the air and fell down fiercely, pressing on a clump of dead grass, crushing the dead grass to pieces, and even throwing Chen Xuan into a rut.

Chen Xuan couldn't help but let out a muffled snort, but was slapped in the face by the beautiful woman, "What is it called!"

Chen Xuan immediately tilted his head to the side and fell silent. The beautiful woman, on the other hand, gritted her teeth and sat up, bowing her head to examine her wounds. As a result, after seeing her almost completely charred heart, the beautiful woman couldn't help but curse, "Damn!"

After scolding, the beautiful woman thought for a moment, then looked at Chen Xuan sharply, and said in a somewhat stiff tone, "Boy, I'll tell you something." ”

"Huh?" Chen Xuan turned his head to look over, his eyes flickering slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

The beautiful woman was originally angry, but when she saw Chen Xuan's appearance, she directly slapped it again, making a crisp sound of "pop", and said coldly, "Boy, I'll talk to you, be honest with me!"

Chen Xuan's body shrank, glanced at the beautiful woman in fear, and quickly lowered his head.

The beautiful woman nodded with satisfaction, coughed lightly, and said with a little weakness: "Boy, I know that you have been around me for so long, and you are all ghosts by my side, and now what I want to tell you is that I have been injured too badly by those two wastes, and I don't have long to live." So now I can let you go, but you must promise me that you will avenge me!"

"Huh?" Chen Xuan raised his head sharply and looked at the beautiful woman, his eyes flashed once, twice, and three times......

"How's that? "Do you agree?" asked the beautiful woman with a little anxiety, one hand already raised, and she was about to force it.

And at this time, Chen Xuan looked at the beautiful woman, but suddenly smiled.

The beautiful woman was stunned for a moment, then her body shook, and then she looked down at her chest, and saw a dagger stuck deep into her heart, which had been badly wounded.

The heart that had been charred began to shatter, and the black unknown liquid flowed out quickly, and the beautiful woman could clearly feel that her life was being quickly withdrawn.

"This ...... This ......" The beautiful woman looked up at Chen Xuan, and found that the other party's gaze had changed, from being cowardly and weak all the time, to being fierce, vicious and greedy wolf, like a wild wolf that had been hungry for three days and three nights.

The beautiful woman has a great chill.

It's not just Chen Xuan's gaze, but also this means of forbearance.

The beautiful woman knew that Chen Xuan had a ghost in her heart, and she never had the same heart as herself. However, Chen Xuan was under his own surveillance for twelve hours a day, and he was not afraid that he would cause any trouble.

However, at this moment, the beautiful woman found out that she was wrong.

He restrained Chen Xuan so carefully, but he didn't know that he had a dagger hidden in his body.

Where did he get it? When did he hide it on his body? What did he hide it in that area?

The beautiful woman found that she really didn't know anything about it, and her body was getting colder and colder.

At this time, Chen Xuan was holding the dagger and stabbing it deeply with all the strength of his body, looking at the beautiful woman while stabbing deeply, and said in a cold voice, "Since you are about to die, then why do you still talk so much nonsense? Don't worry, I will take revenge, but not for you, I am for myself!"

"You!" the beautiful woman glared.

"You said that the two people who hurt you are waste, but I think you are the real waste! If I had your power, I wouldn't have to be so troublesome at all, and I could make those two people die without a place to be buried! You still call yourself a demon? I think you are more like a human than a person! Oh, by the way, you said that you are a demon from an apricot tree, no wonder you are so unbearable. To be honest, I'm actually more like a demon than you!" Chen Xuan leaned close to the beautiful woman's cheek and whispered, and when the words fell, he suddenly bit down on the beautiful woman's throat.

"Click", the beautiful woman can clearly hear the sound of her throat breaking, and she can clearly feel the few blood in her body, which is rapidly decreasing until it completely dissipates.

This...... This......

The beautiful woman was speechless, but her heart was cold......

My heart grew colder and colder, until I was so cold that I lost consciousness......

Half an hour later, Chen Xuan stood up from the cold corpse of the beautiful woman, snorted coldly, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, glanced at the surrounding environment coldly, and then walked in one direction.

As a result, just after walking a hundred steps, his body suddenly shook, and he quickly stopped, because a figure appeared in front.

"Who!" Chen Xuan asked sharply as he clenched the dagger in his hand.

The other party didn't answer, just walked slowly.

One step, two steps, three steps...... Getting closer!

Chen Xuan became more and more nervous, the muscles of his whole body tensed uncontrollably, and then stretched to the extreme, and in the end, he suddenly relaxed. Chen Xuan opened his mouth and said with a little surprise, "Second brother?"

The bald monk, the second son of the Chen family, and Chen Fa revealed their faces in the night.

Chen Xuan was a little flustered, "Second brother, why are you here?"

"You can be here, why can't I be here?" Chen Fa asked rhetorically, his smile as always.

Chen Xuan was flustered again, and he didn't know how to answer after opening and closing his mouth for a while.

And Chen Fa didn't delve into it, just turned around and took the lead in the distance, and said, "Okay, let's go home first." ”

"Oh. Chen Xuan nodded and followed, and then said with some gritted teeth, "When I go back and restore my cultivation, I must take revenge!"

Chen Fa shook his head slightly.

"Second brother, do you think I can't take revenge?"

"Fourth brother, have you seen Xia Chan?" Chen Fa said suddenly.

"What do you mean?"

"Have you seen Xia Cicada and heard their voices?"

"Yes. Chen Xuan nodded and replied, but he didn't understand what Chen Fa wanted to say.

"The sound of cicadas is the loudest sound in summer, and when the cicadas chirp, half of Ping'an County can hear it. "But you must know that the reason why the cicada chirps so loudly is because it grows and hiberns underground for a year or even several years before it is unearthed. Among them, the most powerful kind of cicada, called the seventeen-year cicada, is latent for seventeen years, and then enters the WTO for a summer, shaking the world. And it's the same with your revenge. ”

"You let me endure it?"

"It's not forbearance, it's hibernation. After dormant for several years, it can be transformed and sublimated. ”

"But ......" Chen Xuan was still a little unwilling.

"Don't say it, learn Zen with me, and when you can understand Zen and understand the cicada, you can take revenge. Otherwise, it's just a wasted effort. ”

"I ......" Chen Xuan still hesitated, but the next moment he looked at Chen Fa as if he had thought of something, took a few steps back, and said in disbelief, "Second brother, you ...... ......Aren't you stupid? How to ......"

"Why are you smarter now, right?" Chen Fa smiled, "I've never been stupid, I'm just stupid." ”

"Idiot?"

"Yes, idiot. Foolishness is an obstacle to wisdom, and now the barrier has been broken. Chen Fa looked at the night sky, faced the night wind, and said to himself.

Well, the seal is opened, so the barrier is broken......

ps：

The following words are very long, and if you just want to see the story, you can click on the fork and wait for the next chapter.

Also, this book is not well written, I admit it, but I dare say that it is at least above the passing line, and those who disagree can also play first.

And then there's the body:

It should be clear to everyone that the book has a very poor grade, really poor. You can see that more than 500,000 words, only more than 300 recommendations, before there is no classification and strong push, in fact, there are only more than 200, and the collection can also be imagined.

So it's no surprise that this book won't be on the shelves, but for now, I'm still trying to keep it going.

Well, I said, for now, I'm still trying to write it.

I don't say anything big, "one reader is going to finish the book", because I know very well that I am not a strong-willed person at all, and there is no guarantee of the future.

All I can guarantee is now, now, at least when I write this paragraph, I really want to finish this book, this story.

Sometimes, I just think, there is no fame, no profit, no future, why do I have to think about the plot and write the story every day.

Sometimes it's very confusing and painful, and sometimes, it's a little bit more figurative.

Perhaps, I did it just for the sake of recognition.

Yes, yes, yes!

I want others to identify with me, with my stories, with my whimsy, with my hard work, with my inexplicable persistence.

I want to agree!

I really like to write stories, not as a job, not as an ideal, but simply as a liking.

Joy!

What is liking is that I can pat my chest and say, when I am old, to be 70, 80, 90 years old, as long as I can move, I am still willing to do it.

That's what likes.

On the contrary, it is not liked.

For example, if everyone wants to be an official, I want to be an official, but I don't like it. Because I only want to be when I am young, but I don't want to wait until I am ten years old, and I have to sit in the office every day, hold meetings, and work, although the state will not allow it.

Another example is the rich boss that everyone wants to be, I want to be, but I still don't like it. I can accept the unbridled profligacy and ambition of my youth, but I don't want to be like this at the age of ten.

I just think about that time, sitting quietly in front of the window, reading other people's stories, and then being inspired to write my own story.

Like, that's it.

I like to write stories, so without interest, without support, I will still write, but it will be a little lonely.

Well, loneliness.

So, while I love writing stories, I want to be recognized. I want someone to read, recognize, and appreciate the stories I write.

You can give me nothing but watch, and of course you have to let me know that you exist.

So, you don't have to wait for a subscription that is almost impossible to exist in the future, and you don't have to tip, like, or anything. I just hope that when you're happy to read the story, you send a message in the book review section telling me that you're following my story.

One message is enough, really.

In the past few days, I have seen a friend leave a message to complain, telling that the storyteller is okay, why are the grades so poor. There are also friends who left a message saying that there are few recommended tickets sincerely, and they are anxious for me.

I'm very happy and I feel it. It's not that you praise me, but because you agree with my story.

What I need may really be recognized, and if someone agrees, and there are many people who agree, I will be very motivated to write about it.

It's true.

......

After writing the above words, I read them again myself, and found that it was really a bit numb, a bit like a beggar begging for help. However, what I'm saying now is that I'm not a beggar, so I'm not begging, I'm just just hopping.

So, if you support it, I'm happy, if you don't, I'm not sad, it's just a little boring.

As I said before, writing a story is a matter for one person, and it is also a matter for many people. And I now say that writing a story is a lot of people's business, but after all, it's still a person's business, because a person's hands only grow on one person's body.

Now, my hands are on my body, so I'm writing stories, trying to write stories, and at the same time hoping to be supported, and that's what has been distilled into so many of the above words.

It's just asking for support, and that's it, it seems to be no different from what I said before, and it's no different from what other writers do.

Well, it really doesn't seem to make a difference.

So be it.

......

I will write this book, and I will try to finish it, of course, I do not rule out the possibility of eunuchs.

As for the hobby of writing stories, I will also work hard to have it, and at the same time, I do not rule out the possibility of losing it in the future because of life.

I speak, just, on behalf of me now.

In the future, I may either appreciate or dislike what I am saying now.

It's always been a part of my life, though, and who hasn't had a few times when their head has a fever.

Well, really.

Everyone, see you later.
