Maybe the woman in black really shocked Qi Chaoshu, and he deliberately ran to the city gate and ordered those guards to open the door for Xu Huaigu. So Xu Huaigu walked out of the palace door alone under the envious eyes of a group of guards, but there was no joy in his heart, he was just very lonely, and he couldn't let go of Bai Xiaoyu.

He dragged a short sword alone, walking in the streets and alleys of Xingqing, completely devoid of energy.

Compared with the oppressive atmosphere in the Imperial Palace of Xingqing City, the atmosphere in the streets and alleys of the city is much more lively. Although it was almost dawn at this time, there were still a lot of idle people on the street, talking and watching the excitement.

The streets were bustling with people, everyone was discussing the previous movement in the palace, but most of them only regarded the incident as a joke, and they didn't know what kind of disaster Xingqing had just experienced.

There were several richly dressed children riding horses arrogantly shuttling through the crowd, talking about the flames of the previous big demon with high spirits, and there were also ragged women and girls curled up in inconspicuous corners on the side of the road, with no mood fluctuations in their gray eyes, as if what happened in Xingqing before had nothing to do with them at all.

The gentlemen rode across the street, startling the crowd below to flee in all directions.

One of them raised his arm to grab the reins of the horse, and laughed: "Haha, I won't tell you, I don't know too much about anything else, and I'm still a little good at this flame." That flame is the secret technique of the Wind and Fire Gate, I once saw an old fairy of the Wind and Fire Gate perform the spell of the flame, and it is better than this flame today! ”

The other two rich children believed it and praised the person surnamed Fu a few words, which made the person surnamed Fu even more proud, and the more he talked, the more energetic he became, and the spit splashed high.

Xu Huaigu glanced at him obliquely, then at the women and girls in the corner, and then at the pedestrians on the street who looked excited or nervous, and suddenly became disappointed in this world.

But he didn't speak.

He didn't argue with the rich kid, nor did he help the poor beggar. In the eyes of these people, their peaceful and prosperous life will never end, they are only willing to believe what they want to believe, and they will only unanimously resist what is not good for them.

If Xu Huaigu told the truth about the invasion of the demon clan, he would most likely be ridiculed by those rich children and the crowd.

In their eyes, a rootless person like Xu Huaigu is the best to bully.

The children of rich families use their power to bully the common people, and there are villains among the common people, and they will also bully those who are weaker than themselves, and the weaker people will vent their anger elsewhere. is either a wild dog on the street, or the bad chaff wife in his house who gets up early and is busy every day, or on the belly of a girl in a green house, no one can say that he is innocent.

In such a world, there is evil everywhere, and everything Xu Huaigu sees is also evil.

Xu Huaigu sometimes wonders, since this has always been the case in the world, why does it have to exist? What is the root of these evils that are constantly pouring out?

Xu Huaigu couldn't figure it out.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with the world, the world has always been like this, it is his heart that is wrong, but he doesn't know it yet.

Xu Huaigu deliberately avoided the crowd and walked all the way to the house where Granny Qin temporarily lived in the south.

At this time, the sun was already out of most of the side, and Xu Huaigu saw Granny Qin's dilapidated courtyard from afar. In his eyes, the ancient moss-covered door was more reassuring than vermilion, and the dilapidated and leaky house was much more comfortable than the golden palace in the palace.

Thinking that Yu Qin was still inside, the uncomfortable feeling in his heart about Bai Xiaoyu's refusal to see him also dissipated a little.

Xing Xing grew up in the mountains, and Yu Qin has always maintained the habit of getting up early, so at this point in time, she should have gotten up early. Then she is cooking breakfast now, I wonder if today's white porridge is accompanied by wild camellia?

Thinking like this, Xu Huaigu gently knocked on the ancient door of Granny Qin's house a few times.

The crisp sound sounded, mixed with the sunlight in the early morning, and it was particularly ethereal.

But there was no answer inside.

Xu Huaigu frowned suspiciously, and pushed a little hard with his hand, only to find that the door was just hidden.

A bad thought flashed in his heart, and he hurriedly pushed open the gate and entered the courtyard, and was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him.

The small courtyard, which was originally quite spacious, was very crowded at this time, full of bewitching flowers that had grown in the corner of the yard before, and looking at the past, a lush sea of bright red flowers, which was full of a person's height, and the strange atmosphere made people's hair stand on end.

Xu Huaigu was stunned for a moment, and then knew that there must be something strange in this. He was very worried about Yu Qin, but he didn't dare to touch the flower at will, so he hurriedly chopped a flower in front of him with his sword.

As soon as the sword went down, those flowers were cut off, but there was also a lot of bright red viscous liquid flowing from the flowers, like human blood, and even the smell was a little fishy of blood, which was extremely disgusting.

Xu Huaigu didn't know what the situation was, but it was definitely not a good thing, so he hurriedly called Yu Qin's name loudly a few times, but he couldn't hear an answer. He couldn't care about it so much anymore, and directly swung his sword and cut off a large piece of flowers in front of him, so that he had a place to stay. Then he drew his sword again and again, cut a path in this strange sea of flowers, and then slowly advanced towards the house.

With another sword, cutting off a flower, he took a step forward, covering his nose with his hand not to smell the strong smell of blood, but he inadvertently saw what seemed to be a white thing on the ground, quite conspicuous in the thick red liquid that covered the ground.

Xu Huaigu looked carefully and was taken aback.

That's clearly the palm of a person's hand!

Xu Huaigu subconsciously thought it was Yu Qin, and he didn't dare to hesitate at all, and hurriedly dragged the person out of the flowers all over the ground along that arm.

Xu Huaigu helped her up, leaned on his shoulder, and then hurriedly wiped the red liquid off her face, revealing a delicate face, her eyebrows and eyes were still as familiar and cute as ever, it was Yu Qin who fainted when she touched the flowers in the corner of the wall that day.

Xu Huaigu's mind was blank, and he didn't know what to do with it at all, but he immediately remembered that Granny Qin should still be inside, so he called out to Granny Qin a few words, but no one answered.

Xu Huaigu was ruthless, so he no longer cared about Granny Qin, seeing that Yu Qin's face was pale and her bright red appearance was really terrifying, so he thought about taking Yu Qin away from this weird courtyard first.

He picked up Yu Qin on his back and was about to walk out the door, but as soon as he turned around, he was so shocked by the scene in front of him that he stopped.

The blood-red flowers grew like crazy, and small black buds quickly emerged from the ground, and in the blink of an eye, they bloomed.

The densely clustered filaments and branches swayed in the wind, and soon re-paved the path that Xu Huaigu had cut out with a sword before.

This scene is quite familiar, Xu Huaigu has seen similar magical powers in Feng'er's hands before. She also manipulated flowers and trees to kill people at that time, which is quite similar to this. But Xu Huaigu has only seen it, and he doesn't know anything about how to crack it.

The flowers didn't give him much time to think, and soon he was covered in flowers, and then the flowers grew higher and higher, to the height of him, and his whole body was drowned in the sea of blood flowers.

It didn't matter if the flowers were just covering him, but as soon as the flowers came close to him, he felt a burning sensation on his skin, like a flame.

Xu Huaigu raised his sword in a panic to cut the flower, but the flowers cut down with each sword were far less than the speed at which the flower regrown, so Xu Huaigu was quite annoyed.

He decided not to use his sword anymore, but rushed forward directly with his body, wanting to forcibly open a way in the sea of flowers.

The roots of the flowers on the soles of his feet were intricate, coupled with the slippery red liquid, Xu Huaigu had just run two steps before his body was unstable and about to fall. At this moment, the strange branches of those flowers also stretched out, quickly coiling around Xu Huaigu's body, tying his feet.

Xu Huaigu gritted his teeth and pulled it with his hand, but the thin branch was extremely tough, Xu Huaigu's hand was about to be strangled blood, and there was no sign of the branch breaking.

Xu Huaigu saw that the surrounding branches were also surrounded, and he was a little desperate in his heart.

Why are there so many fatal things recently, I just almost lost my life in the palace, do you have to explain here now?

Xu Huaigu was very unwilling.

But so what, these branches won't give him a chance. Soon, a large number of branches entangled Xu Huaigu to death, and the force was so great that Xu Huaigu almost couldn't hold on and was pulled to the ground, as long as he touched the ground, he didn't think about it.

He also burst out with his last strength, slashing wildly with his sword, and doing the last struggle, but he was still powerless.

After all, he couldn't support it, he really had no strength, and his knees were only slightly bent, and he was pulled to the ground by the branches. Branches stretched out to envelop him, and he gradually felt that his breathing was becoming more and more difficult, and his strength was sucked away.

But the strange thing is that Yu Qin's body beside Xu Huaigu is not entangled by branches.

Xu Huaigu scolded angrily in his heart: "What the hell is this!" But there is no way to take this branch, seeing that if it continues like this, his life will really be in danger, and his mind is quickly thinking about countermeasures.

The branches of these flowers climbed up Xu Huaigu's chest, then tied, wrapped in circles, and then slowly tightened.

Xu Huaigu's chest was very tight, his breathing became heavier and heavier, and he still did not give up holding the sword to cut the branches that climbed on his body, but it was a drop in the bucket.

Just when he was desperate, a white light suddenly flashed in front of him, and then the flowers in front of him fell down like rice harvests, leaving pools of red liquid.

This white light seemed to be a spell like sword qi, which made Xu Huaigu finally have the intention of sparing in his heart, and those who could use sword qi should have a way to deal with these weird flowers.

Xu Huaigu's sword qi last time was only able to be slashed out at the right time, place, and people, and it was much worse than the current sword qi in terms of power and skill.

Xu Huaigu was still thinking about who this person was, and a crisp female voice came from his ears: "Hurry up!" ”

Xu Huaigu was stunned for the first time, did not stand up, but stopped in place.

"I can't stop for long, let's go!"

Xu Huaigu finally stood up and picked up Yu Qin, and hurriedly left this weird mansion.
