Xihe stood up and dusted off her dusty clothes, pursed her lips, looked at the slender figure of the mountain ghost, she also walked to the wall, and said curiously, "Is there anything special about this wall?" ”

The mountain ghost put his index finger to his lips, subconsciously covered his mouth, stopped making a sound, watched him tap gently along the wall, and finally stopped in front of a brick, he gently pushed it in, and the brick popped out, containing a wooden box.

Xihe stepped forward and said in surprise, "You really guessed it right, I don't know what's inside?" ”

The mountain ghost opened the box, and there was a cowhide scroll inside, and after it was unfolded, a totem was drawn on it, but there was not a word, and it was densely drawn with messy graphics, and the two of them didn't see a single star after looking at it for a long time.

"I guess it's a treasure map." As soon as Xi He's words fell, a piercing cold sword split between them, and the two of them quickly flashed to the side, and after seeing the comer, Xi He shouted, "Quickly hand over Lingyuan." ”

Yu Shu snorted coldly, and stabbed at the mountain ghost with the sword, the mountain ghost turned around, and the sword was inserted into the wall behind him, and the sword qi directly shattered the wall, she pulled out the sword and ran to the mountain ghost again, the mountain ghost popped out the red fan to fight with her, and soon, Yu Shu couldn't resist the golden flame of the red fan and had the upper hand.

Just when Xi He thought that Yu Shu was defeated, Yu Shu suddenly changed her target, and put the long sword in her hand behind the red fan with all her might, kicked the wall and turned over and flew towards her, Xi He fell behind him, and hurriedly dodged a catastrophe, and the long sword that fought was also broken by the red fan with a blow.

The mountain ghost took advantage of Yushu's failure to react, and rushed directly to Yushu with the red fan, the red fan instantly passed through Yushu's chest, and turned back sharply, Yushu immediately knelt on the spot, spitting blood.

Xihe walked to the mountain ghost, borrowed the totem in his hand, and walked to Yushu again, Wan'er said, "I know you want this totem, as long as you hand over the spirit yuan, I can consider giving it to you." ”

Yu Shu raised her head to look at her, her eyes became scarlet, and she squinted at the cowhide roll in Xi He's hand and hesitated, as early as when Yu Shu stabbed her with a sword, she found that Yu Shu's attention was always on the totem in the hand of the mountain ghost, presumably this is also the reason why she willingly stayed in the Sui Palace.

"Haven't you been looking for this?" Xihe smiled and said, "Now that I helped you find it, as a thank you, you only need to exchange Lingyuan for it." ”

"I almost forgot, and my face, of course, thanks to you." Xi He added angrily.

Yu Shu looked at the red fan in the hand of the mountain ghost again, suppressed the killing intent in her eyes, raised her hand and waved it towards Xihe's face, and her face suddenly returned to its original state.

She looked at the back of her smooth hand, raised her hand and touched her face again, raised her face with satisfaction, stretched out a hand to her and said, "And Lingyuan." ”

Yu Shu could see almost every vein in her fist on her hand, she had to let go of her fist, and a clear and shiny spirit yuan slowly floated from her palm to Xi He's hand.

Yu Shu's voice was hoarse, staring at the totem and asking urgently, "The totem can be given to me now." ”

After Xihe put away Lingyuan, he looked at the totem in his hand repeatedly, stared at Yushu's haggard face, and said with a smile, "Of course you can." ”

When the words fell, Xi He threw the totem in his hand into the flames under the Dan furnace, at that moment, the smile on the corner of Yu Shu's mouth immediately froze, her eyes were bloodshot, and she didn't care about the injury that she had already lost half of her life, and she tried her best to cultivate to shoot the ground, and rushed straight to the alchemy furnace.

At that moment, a red shadow suddenly appeared in the air, and after snatching the totem halfway, he turned over and jumped out of the secret room, leaving a clear young voice in the secret room, "Thank you, girl, there will be a period later." ”

Yu Shu hurriedly turned around and chased after her.

By the time the mountain ghost destroyed the demon refining furnace and drove him out, the Sui Wangfu was already in chaos, the sky was slightly bright, and Yushu's body was dyed red in the snow for half of the palace, turning back into the original body of a fox.

And the King of Sui was also full of white hair in an instant, kneeling beside the corpse of the pink fox with the support of the guards, his eyes glazed and muttering to himself.

After Lingyuan returned to Xue Gu's body, her body quickly recovered, and Xi He told her about the trip while helping her pack her luggage, Xue Gu frowned and asked, "Are you sure you want to take him with us?" ”

Xihe seemed to hesitate, but finally nodded.

"Have you forgotten what Master said before leaving? Don't be gullible about others. ”

"Of course I remember, but Master also said that we need to understand Entubao, Lord Mountain Ghost, he has saved me many times, including this time to get back your Lingyuan, and he has also helped us a lot."

"I still can't trust him, since he's so powerful, why can't he break the blood curse by himself? What's more, we are looking for the Nuwa Stone, not going to Xianyou. ”

Xihe said, "Aunt Xue, I understand what you're worried about, in fact, along the way, I also wondered if he had other plans, but I'm a little fairy who has cultivated to a mediocre level, one has no heavenly magic weapons and two has no special skills, it's good if I don't make trouble for him, what benefits can he get from me!" ”

"Moreover, the ancient Nuwa Shi even Emperor Jun only gave us a direction, it's hard to say whether we can find it this time, I really can't figure out what he can do."

Xue Gu listened to her words, thought about it, and seemed to think that she had a point, so she also relieved, looking at Xi He's innocent and harmless appearance, her expression was serious, and she said seriously, "Then you have to be on guard against him at all times, don't be blinded by him, who knows what he has calculated." ”

When I went downstairs, the mountain ghosts were sitting at the dining table of the inn drinking tea and tasting dates slowly, and when I saw them packing their luggage, they put down the teacup in their hands and asked, "Can I go?" ”

Xihe nodded, the mountain ghost got up and walked outside, Xue Gu followed, Xihe looked at the remaining candied fruit on the plate, hesitated for a while, and said to the shopkeeper, "Please help me pack the candied fruit on this table." ”

The snow was three feet heavy, freezing the Li River outside the city, Xihe walked behind the mountain ghost with a Meiseluo umbrella, walking side by side with Xue Gu, she looked down at the finger spirit needle in her hand, and asked, "Xue Gu, this finger spirit needle can't be broken, right?" The direction of the pointer along the way has been to the south, and it has not changed. ”

Xue Gu firmly believed, "Impossible, this is an immortal magic weapon, how can it be broken so easily, it must be right to follow the spirit needle." ”

Xihe put away the finger spirit needle, a gust of cold wind blew and made her can't help but shrink her neck, and tightened the fox fur cloak on her body, the mountain ghost deliberately slowed down, glanced at her, and said, "After the Li River, it will be a sunny day." ”

Xihe raised her head to look at him, her white face still had traces of being wet by rain and snow, her teeth were so cold that her teeth trembled, and even her voice trembled slightly when she spoke, "Lord Mountain Ghost, aren't you cold?" ”

He was indeed thinly dressed, in a black robe, even though it was freezing and snowy, and the cold wind was whistling in his ears, he didn't feel a trace of cold, after all, he had been frozen at the bottom of Wanjing Lake for 100,000 years, and with his fearless physique, the rain and snow in the mortal world were just tickling him.

After really crossing the Li River, it is indeed as the mountain ghost said, the clear sky at a glance, and even the further south you go, the warmer the weather becomes, the season is still winter, but the temperature is much higher than that in the north.

After walking through a mountain villa, there is an endless desert dry land, yellow sand is all over the sky, Xi He wondered, "I heard that the south is fertile with water and soil, why is this land full of desert?" ”

Xue Gu raised her hand in front of her eyebrows, covering the high sun, and continued, "I'm also wondering, this desert can't be seen at a glance. ”

The mountain ghost pointed to the looming mountain in front of him and explained, "That is the Snake Mountain, I heard that this Snake Mountain has been formed before 10,000 years, it has not changed for 10,000 years, it is shaped like a winding line, it is like a snake, and the radius of nearly 100 miles near the Snake Mountain is a well-known dry desert, and there is no grass. ”

"Then the only way to get through this desert is through the Piercing Technique." Xi and Dao.

"In case the Finger Needle changes direction halfway, don't we have to come back, let's walk slowly over to avoid missing it." Xue Gu suggested.

"But...," Xihe said, looking down at the water bag on his waist, "we may not have enough water on our bodies, and it may be difficult to find water in this desert." ”

The mountain ghost said, "Benjun once read in the book that there is a primitive village in this desert called Reverse Sand Village, and if you are lucky enough to encounter it, it is not impossible to walk over. ”

Xi He had a bottom in his heart, and followed them to continue to walk into the desert, they were like headless flies in the desert, seeing the sun setting in the west, the temperature plummeted, and the yellow sand was all over the way, not to mention people, she hadn't even touched a grass.

Looking at the desert without people, Xi He was a little depressed, and they were afraid that they would not be able to touch the village.

Just as she was worried, another unexpected thing happened, the sky and the earth suddenly darkened, the black clouds overhead were getting lower and lower, and a devastating sandstorm was slowly approaching their direction, and her hair and clothes were flying back and forth in the air, she was a little panicked, and asked worriedly, "Have you noticed any abnormalities around you?" ”

Xue Gu replied, "The wind has become stronger, and I am afraid that there are signs of a hurricane." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xihe saw a large black tornado not far away quietly attacking, for a while, she was a little overwhelmed, and suddenly panicked, "What now?" I'm afraid it's too late to use the piercing technique now. ”

It's not that she's afraid of death, even if they are swept into the tornado, they won't die, but I don't know how long it will take for this tornado to stop, and besides, if they are swept farther away, they will have to toss again and again, wasting time.

Xue Gu held the sword in one hand and grabbed Xihe tightly with the other, and said, "Xihe, hold on to me, I'll take you up." ”

Now there is only a walk up, the mountain ghost follows, Xuegu tried to penetrate the clouds shrouded in sand, but just the oncoming sand and dust smashed his face wildly, not to mention, as the hurricane got closer and closer, after a while, Xuegu was finally unable to withstand the strong suction of the hurricane and was swept into the sandstorm that was getting bigger and bigger, Xihe just wanted to open his mouth to speak, and ate a mouthful of sand.
