A cold hand crept up her neck, five fingers squeezing hard, gradually.

The gap in strength was huge, and under Qi Ci's hands, Huo Rendong couldn't move at all, and she broke his fingers with both hands in vain, like a grasshopper shaking a tree.

Qi Ci's eyes were red, he completely lost his mind, and he looked at himself like a lamb.

A strand of his white hair landed on her face, she opened her mouth wide, the air peeled away from her chest little by little, and after she couldn't breathe, she had a sense of déjà vu that she was about to be strangled to death.

At that moment, the faces of the people in front of him overlapped those murderers, and the corners of Huo Rendong's eyes were wet: "Male and son......"

At the critical moment, the Qingxiao jade hanging around her neck fell out, the warm jade lit up, and Qi Ci withdrew her hand as if she was burned.

When the weight on her neck disappeared, Huo Rongdong finally had a chance to breathe, she turned over and coughed heartbreakingly, her cheeks and neck were red.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

After a while, the coughing stopped, and there was an awkward atmosphere between the two.

Huo Rongdong struggled to get up and plucked the grass clippings from his hair. She looked at the man sitting with his back to her not far away, and explained in a dumb voice: "Childe, I just want to help you, I don't want to hurt you." ”

Qi Ci's body stiffened, and his originally straight back bent a little.

"Just now...... I'm sorry. ”

Since he opened his mouth to apologize, indicating that his sanity had been restored, Huo Rongdong breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay, it's me who shouldn't touch you suddenly." She kindly picked up the straw basket at her feet, cleaned up the scattered herbs, and took the handkerchief from her sleeve.

"Childe, wipe the blood off your shoulder, the wound needs to be bandaged. I picked some herbs that might help. ”

Qi Ci sat with his head down, not saying good or bad. His clothes were scattered, his hair was messy, and his whole person was filled with a sense of depression.

If it was a sharp demon just now, now it is a withered tree at the top of the cliff.

…… I always feel that if I leave it alone. The next second he was going to be lonely and withered.

Huo Rongdong was bold enough to come to him, and Qi Ci obediently remained motionless and let her move. Catching a glimpse of those big bony hands, she still had a trace of fear in her heart, but she finally overcame it.

Huo Rongdong stretched out his hand to remove Qi Ci's blood-soaked clothes, revealing his scarred body.

On the sturdy body, the wound was very terrifying, and it was not a new injury, and it could be seen that it was constantly going through the process of healing-tearing-healing-tearing, and such a terrible injury would have died long ago if it had been replaced by an ordinary person.

Huo Rongdong took a deep breath, calmly wrung the water with a handkerchief, wiped the blood on his shoulders and arms, and carefully cleaned the outside of the wound.

After a few wipes, the original pure white handkerchief turned blood-colored, and the water in the gourd scoop was also red.

A gust of wind blew, and fallen leaves fell on the top of the two of them.

Qi Ci raised his head as if he had woken up from a dream and looked at the woman in front of him.

Her eyes were tense and serious, her warm fingertips touching his cold skin, but the movements of her hands were extremely light, as if she was afraid of hurting him.

No one dared to approach him when he was poisoned, not even the disciples who served in the sect, who were more afraid than respectful, and avoided him.

He hid in the formations and seals day by day, suffering alone, waiting for the moment to survive the poisonous hair.

But now, those memories are blurred and replaced by the woman's "I want to help you".

Qi Ci suddenly raised her hand and tapped her fingertips on the side of her neck.

Huo Rongdong's whole person seemed to be electrocuted, and he shrank back suddenly, his eyes wide.

Qi Ci was shocked by her reaction, withdrew his hand a little embarrassed, and said in a muffled voice: "There are fingerprints." ”

Huo Rongdong reached out and touched it, pulled the collar higher, and tilted his head: "It's okay, just take the hot water and apply it." ”

Seeing the woman hiding from herself, Qi Ci suddenly felt a little depressed, but she couldn't say anything wrong. He looked at the herbs she had picked irritably, originally to pass the time, but the more he looked at it, the more wrong it became.

Qi Ci picked out an orchid herb with red rhizome from the grass basket, and suddenly asked, "Do you know what kind of herb this is?" ”

Huo Rendong looked back: "I don't know what the scientific name is, the common name in the pharmacy is duck tequila, two taels of silver are collected for one penny, and the doctor said that it can stop bleeding and build muscles." ”

Qi Ci's phoenix eyes playfully: "The one that is less than five years old is the duck tequila, and the one that is more than five years old can be included in the ranks of the spirit grass, and it is renamed 'Golden Tiger Orchid', which is the most common yellow-level herb." ”

"The cultivation realm elixir, talisman, magic weapon, and spirit plant all have four grades of heaven and earth Xuanhuang. Although your Golden Tiger Orchid is only the lowest herb of the Yellow Rank, its quality can be worthy of the Heavenly Rank. ”

What he said was mysterious, but Huo Rendong didn't care, she twisted the handkerchief hard, and said casually: "Maybe it's just a coincidence, I have been living in the mountains since I was a child, and I am most familiar with herbal medicines, so it is not a problem to find a few old plants." ”

"Childe, you don't know, my parents died early when I was young, so I relied on going up the mountain to pick these agave and cow dung grass to buy rice and flour rations and grow up alive."

Qi Ci said: "......"

"Of these in your basket, three of them are spiritual plants, namely Golden Tiger Orchid, Hate Grass, and Schisandra Chinensis, and the rest of the ordinary herbs are also in excellent condition."

"If it's a coincidence......"

It was normal for Huo Rongdong not to know, but Qi Ci knew very well.

If you want to find the spirit grass spirit plant in the mortal realm where the aura is thin, it is impossible to find the spirit grass spirit plant in such a short time and in such a small range, with the body of a mortal.

"Originally, I thought you were just being more friendly with the spiritual power of the wood system, but it wasn't at all like this." Qi Ci suddenly raised his head, "In this case, let's find a sect and test the spiritual root for you." ”

By the river, Huo Rongdong turned around, her eyes changed and changed, and finally nodded solemnly.

"Okay."

Qi Ci was very playful: "Aren't you the most disgusted cultivator, why did you change your mind again?" ”

Huo Rendong wrung the veil clean and smashed those herbs with stones, her face was calm: "I'm not for immortality, I just want to see what kind of path the immortal cultivation path is that I have sacrificed so many lives in exchange." ”

"I want to change my own life, and I want to try to help other people change their lives."

A strand of sweaty hair sticks to her cheek, and the hairpin cloth skirt brings earth-shattering beauty by the river.

"Although the spiritual root is one in a thousand, it is not so scarce." Qi Ci chuckled, "Your qualifications are better than that stupid ex-husband." People like him can cultivate, but it doesn't make sense that you can't. ”

Huo Rongdong nodded, came over with the smashed medicine mud, and bandaged him a little bit with gauze.

Qi Ci sat bare-chested, his body was strong and his texture was distinct, allowing the woman to wrap the wound layer by layer, sometimes it was a little tighter, and he didn't say a word, silently endured.

"Don't you really need to buy some trauma medicine?"

"You can pick these up."

Huo Rongdong looked at the 'cow dung grass' he picked and frowned: "But this is just an ordinary herb, and Childe's injury is too serious." ”

Qi Ci was indifferent, and even a little mocking: "Ordinary herbs or golden elixirs, the effect is the same for me." Why use precious medicine on the dying? ”

His attitude was so obvious that she had some guesses in her heart: "Is the childe an old wound?" ”

"Well, the injury I was injured when I was reinforcing the seal at the edge of the Black Domain ten years ago, and I was too strong to inhale the barrier poison. This poison stone has no cure, so I say it's a waste. ”

Qi Ci hooked the corners of his lips, his face was still very pale, but his lips were as red as blood.

"The monk who is infected with the obstacle poison is the devil, who kills people and does all kinds of evil, and has no reason, emotion, or humanity at all."

He remembered that among the hundred demon-fallen monks, there was also one who was famous and was called the Great Sage. As a result, after the fall, he wore a cloak and ate people and drank blood, like an evil ghost, and was cut down by his sword.

"A little woman like you, once she falls into the hands of a demon cultivator, she will be sucked dry of her bones." Qi Ci deliberately scared her, "So, the next time you meet me and get sick, remember to run farther, the farther the better." ”

Huo Rongdong tied a bow at the end of the bandage and looked at him seriously: "Childe didn't hurt me, I'm not afraid." ”

Qi Ci sneered: "I don't believe in myself, but you do?" ”

"In short, when I am completely depraved, the Thunder Torture Sword will correct me on the spot, and I will not harm anyone."

Even if he dies, he will die cleanly. It will never become a monster that is neither human nor ghostly.

Huo Rendong looked at him quietly, and suddenly leaned forward with his hands on the ground: "But Childe, you saved me from danger, why did you give up on yourself when it was your turn?" ”

Qi Ci froze: "You ......"

"If you can survive once, you can survive ten times. There are countless famous doctors in the north and south of the world, and they will definitely find a way to treat the poison. ”

Huo Rendong's eyes were shining, more beautiful than the stars in the sky, and being stared at by such eyes, his heart was as cold as Qi Ci and he couldn't say anything to refute.

"Fang Cai Gongzi suddenly let go, why?"

Qi Ci recalled the meeting and said tentatively: "...... It seems to have been scalded by your Qingxiao jade. ”

Huo Rongdong hurriedly took out the warm jade on his neck: "It's hot?" But the jade is not hot, what does it feel like? ”

The woman's eyes were full of anticipation.

Qi Ci's fists clenched and loosened, he looked at the enlarged beauty in front of him, and didn't react for a while.

"It's like in a chaotic time, there is a blow to the head."

Huo Rendong guessed that Qingxiao Jade had a special function, which could make Qi Ci stay sane when he was sick. Maybe she finally found a way to repay her benefactor, every once in a while, she would come over and test with Qingxiao jade, and she was also very active in collecting antidotes for him along the way.

Thanks to her, Qi Ci really didn't get sick again, and the speed of demon fall has also decreased a lot.

The two of them crossed the canyon, flew for a while, and when they landed again, they were already in the middle of a strange mountain and water, where the trees were obviously different from before, and the temperature was also higher.

Huo Rendong had never been to such a distant place, and even the mortal dynasty around here was not the one to which Xiaocao Village belonged!

Qi Ci took out the compass and looked at it: "If I'm not mistaken, there is a fixed secret realm not far from here, and there is a small sect nearby. ”

Huo Rongdong was curious: "What is the secret realm?" ”

"Most of them are mana cracks caused by the fall of great power, and there are also fragments of time and space left over from the destruction of ancient sects, and there are some inheritances and treasures in them. Some secret realms will stay in one place for a long time, and the surrounding monks will make a profit from it......"

Before he finished speaking, a heavy fog suddenly filled the forest, but in a few breaths, all the surrounding scenery was invisible.

Qi Ci subconsciously protected Huo Rendong behind him, and several vague shadows appeared not far away.

An old voice came through the white mist.

"Hand over your storage bag and the woman, and this great immortal may be able to spare your dog's life."
