Walking on the road, Ye Hongling and Li Wanyu both looked back from time to time, with a trace of doubt in their eyes.

"What's so strange about that Zhuangzi?"

Ye Hongling couldn't help but ask Qi Zixiao.

The Jiaoma on the side couldn't help but snort at this time, and spewed out a long column of air.

Qi Zixiao smiled and touched the head of the Jiaoma, and said to the two women, "You want to know the answer?" ”

Both of them kept nodding their heads.

"Okay, in that case, then go back and let you see again."

Qi Zixiao shook his head with a smile and turned back with the two of them.

Of course, not to return the way you came.

Soon, they returned again, and when they returned to the same place, Ye Hongling and Li Wanyu were both shocked at all this in front of them.

There is no Zhuangzi, only a mass grave, silent, cold.

The tombs stood there one by one, even in broad daylight, which made the two girls can't help but feel chills in their hearts.

"We rested here last night?"

Li Wanyu opened her mouth with some fear.

"But we live in ......"

"It's just a trick."

Li Wanyu was about to speak, but Qi Zixiao said lightly.

"Did we encounter something unclean......

Li Wanyu said with a frightened expression.

"It's just a bunch of mountain spirits."

Qi Zixiao spoke lightly, his eyes scanning the group of graves, and there was no trace of fear in his eyes.

"I've heard the book before, saying that these mountain spirits like to transform into human forms and seduce passers-by, especially scholars and young heroes, and yang energy is the most replenishing......

Ye Hongling said thoughtfully, "I also heard that the things they eat are earthworms, cockroaches and ......."

"What, what we eat......"

At this time, when Li Wanyu heard this, her face instantly turned pale, and she had a feeling that the world was spinning, and a stream of sour water was almost gushing out of her stomach.

She thought about what the two of them were eating.

"Don't worry, those are normal foods, not a trick, and those things don't dare to fool us with this."

Qi Zixiao smiled faintly and waved his hand indifferently, "I guessed correctly, it should have been stolen from a certain family." ”

Hearing this, Li Wanyu breathed a sigh of relief.

"You already know why you still let us come and don't just take action to solve them all!"

Ye Hongling opened his mouth with a little dissatisfaction.

"Although they are mountain and wild spirits, they don't have any human lives on them, they just suck some yang energy, and they don't sin to death, secondly, this is also a lesson for you, remember, pies will not fall from the sky, and you must be vigilant in your heart when you go out."

Qi Zixiao opened his mouth lightly.

After this incident, they will not be easily fooled when they walk the rivers and lakes again in the future.

As he spoke, he turned and left.

Watching Qi Zixiao leave, Ye Hongling and Li Wanyu also quickly followed, not daring to continue to stay here.

A gust of wind blew, and faintly, a group of unfamiliar faces appeared in a clearing, looking at the three people who left with a grateful face.

……

On the road to Linyuan County, the three of them continued to move forward, experiencing the incident of the mountain and wild spirits, Ye Hongling and Li Wanyu were a little silent.

Qi Zixiao didn't enlighten them, these are all lessons, this time they are accompanied by themselves, they don't suffer, and when they are left alone, they can only face it alone.

As they approached Linyuan County, they also saw more people, most of them from the rivers and lakes, wearing swords and looking excited.

From time to time, you can see someone swords facing each other because of a little conflict, and blood is spilled on the spot.

However, these guys also understand that they can't make trouble, otherwise, the government will intervene, so they are also trying their best to control it.

However, how can there be immortals in the battle of the rivers and lakes, once it really reaches the point of life and death, they will also choose to carry it out quietly, not to let outsiders know, and it is convenient to dispose of the corpse.

As long as they don't kill people in broad daylight, the government will turn a blind eye to the disappearance and death of these people.

The sun is setting, and the heartbroken man is at the end of the world.

Qi Zixiao and the three of them walked on the road, and there was a tall horse beside them, and the setting sun sprinkled on their bodies, dyeing them with a faint layer of sadness.

All three of them stopped at this time and looked into the distance, where there were two people, two young men.

One was dressed in a white robe, carrying two short swords on his back, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and always with a faint smile on his face.

The other person was wearing a black suit, carrying a long knife on his back, and his eyes were cold.

"Looks like there's a good show."

Qi Zixiao and the three of them looked at this scene, Ye Hongling couldn't help but say, they didn't know how much they had seen this kind of battle along the way.

"However, the aura on their bodies is so strong, and they are all masters of the peak of the four grades."

Ye Hongling couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"This is Cao Qiu of the Heavenly Sword Gate, Wu Gang of the Earth Sword Gate, are the two Tianjiao of Jianzhou, and before they broke through the four grades, they were also the masters on the list of Jianzhou people."

There were not only them, but also other people around, and a middle-aged man with a rough face looked at the two with an excited face, telling their identities.

Hearing this, many people were shocked, and everyone who was on the list of the nine people in Daqi Kyushu was a first-class person.

"These two seem to be at odds?"

Someone said suspiciously.

"They're not from the same state, so they should work together."

"What do you know, the Heavenly Sword Gate and the Earth Sword Gate can be traced back to hundreds of years ago, at that time, these two families were collectively called the Heaven and Earth Sect, known as the Sword and Sword Sect, but, later, I don't know when, the leader of the Sword Technique and the leader of the Sword Sect had a contradiction, and in the end, the contradiction could not be reconciled, and finally the great sect fell apart, becoming the Heavenly Sword Gate and the Earth Sword Gate today, the two families have been fighting for hundreds of years for an orthodox name, and they have always been the ...... of victory or defeat."

The middle-aged man who spoke before explained, and as he spoke, he looked at the two of them with emotion, "The disciples of these two families, as long as they meet outside, will basically have a big battle, which has become a habit in Jianzhou." ”

Hearing this, many people suddenly realized.

"I see."

"The peerless learning of the Heavenly Sword Gate is the Heavenly Sword, but unfortunately, only the sect master can practice in the past dynasties, and I don't know if Cao Qiu has succeeded in cultivating, the peerless learning of the Earth Sword Gate is the eighteen swords of Tibet, but it is also only the sect master lineage that can be practiced."

The middle-aged man said, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Qi Zixiao and the others also heard these words, and they couldn't help but have a touch of curiosity in their eyes.

This was the second time he had seen Tianjiao from other states, and the last time it was a star of the Tritheistic Sect from Yuzhou.

He was silently estimating the strength of these guys in his heart, using this to evaluate his combat power, and what level he would be at if he was brought into other states.

"Cao Qiu, I didn't expect you to come to Qingzhou to participate in the Snow God Meeting, what's the matter, the Heavenly Sword Gate's mastery is not enough for you to understand!"

Wu Gang sneered and said lightly.

"Senior Brother Wu, if you want to make a move, you should do it as soon as possible, I don't have time to accompany you to be watched as a monkey here."

Cao Qiu spoke softly.

"Very good, since that's the case, I won't talk nonsense, since the two of us have met, if we don't fight, I won't have the face to meet the elders of the sect when I go back."

Wu Gang laughed loudly, his momentum suddenly rose in an instant, his true qi was agitated, and the oppressed surrounding air currents made a "woo" sound, as if countless unjust souls were wailing.

"I'm only going to make one move, let me see how good you are!"

He snorted coldly, and the long knife behind his back suddenly came out of its sheath, and was held in his hand, "Thousands of miles of lonely graves, nowhere to talk about desolation!" ”

With his voice, a knife slashed out, and lonely graves appeared in the void, densely packed.

These lonely graves spread towards Cao Qiu, wanting to cover him.

Looking at this knife, Ye Hongling's pupils shrank, "What a strong knife technique, this knife is not only a strange move, but also contains an extreme death intent, with death intent, condense vision, and go further, that is the sword master." ”

She is also a fourth-grade martial artist, but, ask yourself, compared to this guy in front of her, Ye Hongling can be sure that she can't even take a move from the other party.

Qi Zixiao's eyes also flashed with a touch of amazement, and he bowed slightly, "It is worthy of being a master on the list of Jianzhou people, with such strength, even if I come to pick it up, it will take a lot of effort." ”

Just thinking about it, all of a sudden, he turned his head to look at the other side, where a woman in an apricot yellow dress stood in an open space, carrying a guqin on her back, with a quiet smile on her face.

As if sensing his gaze, the woman turned her head and smiled at him.

"Master!"

Qi Zixiao's heart sank, from this woman, he actually sensed a threat.

At this time, Cao Qiu's face was indifferent in the face of Wu Gang's knife, and the next moment, with a "sonorous", the two short swords were instantly unsheathed and fell into his hands.

"The Golden Emperor is split!"

The sound of a clash of gold and iron sounded, and everyone felt that their eyes suddenly became dim, pitch black, and in the darkness, two sword lights intersected, and in an instant, they directly tore the darkness apart.

"Boom"

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they saw everything in front of them again, and at this time, the two sides changed positions, Cao Qiu appeared in Wu Gang's place, and Wu Gang appeared in Cao Qiu's place.

"The swordsmanship is good, but unfortunately, it's not the Heavenly Sword."

Wu Gang slowly turned around and looked at Cao Qiu's cold mouth.

"Eighteen Swords of the Burial Ground, you're just getting started."

Cao Qiu also said calmly.

"It's a pity that I have more important things to do now, and I don't have time to entangle with you."

Wu Gang said lightly, with a touch of coldness in his eyes, "As for the eighteen knives of the burial ground of my Earth Knife Gate, you will have a day to try." ”

After speaking, he glanced at the crowd around him, and wanted to say something, but when his eyes fell on the woman in the apricot yellow dress, his pupils shrank, and he didn't say anything, but directly turned into a streamer and disappeared in place in an instant.

Cao Qiu also looked at the crowd around him, and also found the woman in the yellow dress, her face instantly became solemn, but she didn't say anything, just bowed her head slightly, and also jumped up and disappeared in place.
