The journey was long, and they remained aimless, walking and stopping.

Occasionally, strange things happen in some villages, and occasionally enter secret and dangerous places. Such a year is fleeting, and the two get along day and night, and there is a lot more tacit understanding.

Huo Rongdong has been practicing the flute recently, and he learned it from an old cultivator, and he has only practiced two small songs so far.

A small green bamboo flute hangs around his waist, and he takes it out to play a song when he has nothing to do. It's not that she likes music much, but that she has heard that the sound of the flute can soothe the sick and have an analgesic and calming effect.

The old injuries on Qi Ci's body still flare up occasionally, but with the sound of the flute and the suppression of Qingxiao Jade, it is quite stable.

Qi Ci didn't care about herself, she cared more about her cultivation.

Without the guidance of an orthodox master, Huo Rongdong worked very hard and competed, and he cultivated to the fifth level of qi refining in one year, which can be regarded as a mid-stage realm.

This speed is also extremely talented in the big sects, as long as it is not compared with a talented guy like Qi Ci who builds a foundation for a year, he can be a disciple of the personal lineage.

How many monks have spent half their lives, and they have been boiling from drooping children to gray temples, and they are only four or five layers of qi refining.

Because Huo Rendong's cultivation speed was too fast, Qi Ci had also studied it. But seeing that she has a solid foundation, her Dao heart is stable, far beyond the monks of the same realm, and even her swordsmanship has been small, and she has a faint sword intent, she is relieved.

In the Red Leaf Valley, the woman in white holds a sword with one hand and has practiced a set of swordsmanship countless times.

Split, stab, spin, point.

Her every movement was fluid, and countless red leaves danced with the sword qi, rolling red waves in the valley, like flames.

And herself, as if she has become the only link between heaven and earth and micro-contempt, can hold the avenue with her every move. It was as if there was a huge projection that could fly from the void of nature and form a focus on her again.

Finally, it condensed into a faint and slender point, but weighed more than a thousand catties.

Qi Ci sat on his knees on the tree, looking at the gorgeous and spectacular "Red Leaf Storm" not far away, holding a wine gourd in his hand and forgetting to drink it for a long time.

Whether Huo Rongdong is cultivating or practicing swords, he has this kind of magic that touches people's hearts. He would never admit that he would enjoy watching her practice swords.

After the two of them went down the mountain, they didn't go dozens of miles, Qi Ci used the compass to locate them, and suddenly they had a clear destination unusually.

He said that there was a Black Domain rift nearby.

Passing through a small dilapidated mountain village, they asked a few questions from the villagers who were grazing sheep on the side of the road.

The villager's face was secretive, and his eyes flickered a few times before he said, "Are you really going there?" ”

"That place...... It's evil! Don't say I'm telling you! ”

He half-truthed and half-truthed some rumors, which sounded to Huo Rendong as just some false stories of pretending to be ghosts, but she glanced at Qi Ci, and the latter's expression was unprecedentedly solemn.

Black Rift ...... Is it?

The two of them went to the foot of the mountain in the mouth of the villagers, and the compass indicated the location.

Huo Honeysuckle can already fly with the sword for a short time, but the speed is not very fast, and he can't lead people.

She stepped on the narrow blade of the Sunset Sword, and the scenery swept swiftly backwards under her feet. Village houses, fields, wheat seedlings, fruit tree paths.

Until she saw a black bare mountain rock with no green at all, she suddenly felt that the flying sword under her feet was a little off, and she inexplicably disobeyed the call. Then the whole person suddenly crooked, fell towards the sword, and was about to fall to the ground.

At the moment of great urgency, a person flew quickly, put one hand around her waist, turned her whole person around, and landed steadily.

Huo Rongdong hugged Qi Ci's neck, frightened. She had never had such a problem with Edgeworth before, and the Sunset Sword was gentle and gentle, and it would not deliberately scare her.

Qi Ci looked vigilant, "Shhh ”

He put her on the ground, and Huo Rongdong looked around, only to find that this huge black cliff had a narrow crack at its feet.

The inside is completely opaque, only allowing one person to pass through, as if a giant is holding an axe and forcibly splitting the cracks in the mountain, which does not look like a normal existence.

The vegetation near them is sparse and rarely grows there. Even if there were living plants, they were all blackened in color, twisted in shape, strange and ugly.

How strange this black mountain looks.

Tomorrow it was noon, but the sun was not basking at the foot of the mountain, the sun was obscured by clouds, there was neither the sound of frogs nor insects, and it was eerily quiet.

Huo Rongdong involuntarily clenched the hilt of the sword, and what made her hair stand on end was that there was a pungent smell here.

This kind of smell, she once smelled it in the Bai family's abandoned house in Wanshui Town, Qi Ci said that there was a barrier poison escaping there, which made the bride become a ghost after her death.

But now, the taste is thousands, tens of thousands of times stronger.

After staying for less than a few breaths, Huo Rendong felt a splitting headache and unbearable.

"Be careful, your cultivation is low, and you are easily disturbed by the barrier poison."

Qi Ci held her, condensed the aura with his fingers, and placed a protection spell on her eyebrows, which made her feel better.

"The Black Domain is in the uninhabited land in the extreme south of the continent, but in the past fifty years, the 'Demon Seal' has continued to loosen, and the cracks in the Black Domain have begun to spread irregularly all over the world. Looking at the scale, this place should have only appeared in recent years, and it is not serious. ”

Huo Rendong couldn't help but have a headache: This is not serious, what is the situation inside the magic seal?

The two were talking, and suddenly, she felt that something was peeping.

When I looked back, there was a black distorted object, and three red eyes.

Huo Rendong was taken aback: "What is it?!" ”

Qi Ci: "It's a three-eyed green cow, but it's mutated." ”

He let out a lightning strike, and the ugly monster hissed and ran into the crevice.

The three-eyed green cow has a docile and good personality, but the one I see now is skinny, the fur on its body is falling off to reveal the white bones, and the teeth in its mouth are scattered, which does not look like eating grass.

She got goosebumps.

At this point, Huo Rendong really realized what the Black Domain was, and why Qi Ci and a righteous monk fought for their lives to seal the Black Domain; Why did the Moyu Pill refined with the Mutant Demon Beast Inner Pill have to be destroyed.

- This is something that is contrary to the normal world.

Qi Ci saw that Qingniu's figure was engulfed in black mist, and his expression was cold.

He bowed his head: "You open the magic weapon of defense, and then cast the enchantment guard, don't act rashly before I come out." ”

Huo Rongdong tugged at his sleeve: "Childe, you want to go in alone?!" ”

Qi Ci pressed her hand: "You don't have enough mana, and if you force your way in, you will be eroded by the barrier." The rift can now be completely destroyed, and the longer it drags on, the harder it will be to deal with it. ”

Looking at each other, she wanted to say something more, but he had already squeezed her palm hard, and rushed into the rift himself.

As soon as he left, the foot of the mountain suddenly became dark and cold.

Huo Rongdong opened the defensive barrier with his mana, and threw out a Qibao Spirit Umbrella, which slipped around in a circle above his head.

But even so, in the corners where there is no daylight, the wordless darkness is slowly seeping in.

I don't know what animal is screaming in the corner, and the miserable whimper is like the entrance to hell.

Even though he had already cultivated, Huo Rongdong was only eighteen years old, and he was still a little scared. But when she thought of Qi Ci risking the danger to break in, she was only worried.

I don't know when, she can't feel the presence of time.

It seems that only a stick of incense has passed, and it has been better for several days.

The light was dim, Huo Rongdong silently recited the Great Sage Bright Light Descending Spell in his mouth, his eyelashes drooped, and he didn't notice anything more around.

A terrible lone owl chirped, and she raised her head as if she had woken up, and her eyes shrank suddenly.

- There are many layers of coffins at the foot of the mountain.

The outermost coffin was not covered, and the dead man lying inside could be faintly seen. Some are well dressed, while others are decayed, leaving only stumps and rotten flesh, which makes people lose their sanity.

Huo Nindong was originally sitting cross-legged, but now he stood up suddenly.

She didn't scream, she stood still, chanting the spell over and over again, but her face turned a little pale.

"Eliminate everything with the power of the king, quickly prove the fruit, and eliminate all evils......"

The intermittent sound of the incantation, as if to answer her, was silent, and a number of fluorescent green lights rose from the silence around her.

These lights are slowly rising from the coffin.

The green light was especially terrifying in the darkness, and each one seemed to have its own consciousness, some jumped, some floated, and some even crashed towards her.

The Qibao Spirit Umbrella emitted a brilliant treasure light, and the Sunset Sword in Huo Nindong's hand rotated around her, drawing a golden protective field, and under the double blessing, those green points of light could not enter.

Huo Nuckin tried to use the water trick, but it was clear that this was not a fire that ordinary water could extinguish.

The ghost fire flew densely, accompanied by the spread of black mist, gradually spreading to the entire foot of the mountain, touching the boundary of Huo Honeysuckle's enchantment, corroding and making a "zizi" sound.

Huo Rendong's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he didn't know how long he could hold on.

In such a difficult situation, a purple sword light mixed with electric light rushed straight towards Xiao Han, splitting those black qi that were like substance.

The sound of this sword was amazing, Huo Rongdong's whole body was stunned, and his spirit shook suddenly, only to find that the coffin at the foot of the mountain had disappeared.

What corpses, what ghost fires, it's all hallucinations!

She was still in the valley, but the area around the Black Domain Rift was scorched black, and the mutated plants that were originally alive were all burned to death.

At this moment, a figure stumbled out of the chasm.

After he came out, the narrow gap behind him gradually grew together like the healing of his body, and finally closed completely.

Huo Rongdong was shocked: "Childe! ”

It was only because Qi Ci's body was covered with a layer of black stuff like fire oil, and it gradually disappeared after a few breaths, revealing the pale person underneath.

Huo Rongdong stretched out his hand to help him, and the tentacles only felt cold and abnormal: "Childe!" Childe, how are you! ”

Qi Ci's face was ashen, motionless like a puppet.

Awakened by her voice, he struggled to look up, but halfway through his movements, he bent to his knees and vomited a mouthful of blood.
