According to what the man in red said earlier, reinforcements will arrive soon, and if he stays in this mountain, he will easily die without a place to bury. Zhou Qingdui had just used a mountain-destroying palm to consume too much, and at this time, Zhou Qingdui decided to leave this Broken Demon Mountain first, and then go into the mountain to find a sword.

One is to find the ancient sword that fell off the cliff, and the other is to find the demon sword sought by the innkeeper.

The Gathering Spirit Pill was originally an elixir to assist in the cultivation of Qi Realm cultivation, but Zhou Qingdui consumed it like this, and now his own True Qi was floating uncertainly, and he still needed to temper his True Qi in the Dan more.

However, the boy did not choose to go down the mountain directly through the bluestone steps, but kept detouring through the surrounding mountains and forests. He could faintly sense that a strange aura had arrived in the medicine garden he had left earlier.

......

On the other side, Qian Shaowei and the others, who had already fled from the Broken Demon Mountain with the medicine collection team, had already returned to the Embroidered Twin City.

Qian Shaowei was sitting in his room with empty eyes at this time, and the first thing he did when he returned to the city was to go home to find his father. After he told his father what happened to him in the mountains, Qian Shihong, the head of the Qian family, uncharacteristically disobeyed his second son, who had always been accustomed to arrogance. Instead, after Qian Shihong learned of this, he confined Qian Shaowei to the house for three days, and told him not to tell what he had seen and heard during this experience no matter what.

The man Li Zhen went home first, took some food at home and left home in a hurry. This made Li Zhen's wife very puzzled, and she only felt that her husband was afraid that something unspeakable had happened, so she didn't ask anything. After Li Yan left home, he first went to every household in this alley to seek manpower. Most of these neighbors, who come and go a lot on weekdays, were unwilling to sacrifice their lives when they heard Li Zhen say that they were going to the dangerous and extremely dangerous Broken Demon Mountain to save people, and in the end, only a few or three people were willing to follow Li Zhen. After gathering people, Li Zhen stood in the alley, hesitating, wandering, and went to Lao Mo's house after thinking about it. Half an hour later, in the courtyard of Lao Mo's house, there were women looking up to the sky and crying, and children crying.

But when Li Zhen and the others were about to leave, his wife stopped in front of him after hearing about it. This woman, who is over three years old and is about to be confused, is holding her man's hand and crying, unwilling to let go. Li Zhen looked at his mother-in-law's behavior, and his heart rippled. At that time, Li Zhen's mind flashed the tragedy of Lao Mo's death, and when he was about to die, the young man rushed to the rescue. Now he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he is still in the mountains at this time, and his life and death are uncertain. How could he pretend nothing was happening? But in a blink of an eye, I thought of the children at home and the wife in front of me. If he goes by himself, he is afraid that it will be more than lucky, and he is not sure if he will come back alive. If you are like the old Mo who has been fighting with him for many years, he will die in the mountains. How can I be worthy of my wife and children in front of me? For a while, the middle-aged man who was nearly half a hundred years old really didn't know what to do.

At this time, after hearing that Lao Mo was dead, the few two or three people who were willing to follow Li Zhen sighed a few times and turned to leave.

The man Li Yan looked at the lady who was holding his arm, and turned his head to look at the Broken Demon Mountain not far away. With infinite melancholy in his heart, he broke free from his wife's hand and turned around and walked in the direction of his house. The woman behind Li Zhen stared blankly at the back of her man coming home, only to feel that her man seemed to have become older and helpless than ever at this moment.

......

Zhou Qingdui walked all the way from the mountain to the pond where he had met the girl in Tsing Yi before, of course, this time he was no longer sliding down the mountain. It was that Zhou Qingdui saw that the search for the ancient sword had failed, and if he continued to look for it, he was afraid that the people who were with him would have already encountered an accident. So, Zhou Qingdui began to look for a way out, and at this time, the woman in Tsing Yi, who had been silent, pointed to the stone tablet engraved with the words "Yanlian Pond". Zhou Qingdui approached and found that there was a path leading to the outside behind the stone tablet.

At this time, Zhou Qingdui walked into the path and returned to Yanlian Pond, where he had met the girl in Tsing Yi before, and at this time, there was no longer a girl's shadow in Yanlian Pond. Zhou Qingwan didn't have a place to stay in the city, but this was an excellent place to cultivate. According to Zhou Qingdu's judgment, there should be few people in this pool. Even if it is discovered, the environment here can be called "the mountains on both sides of the strait, and there is no place for it." Heavy rocks are stacked, hidden from the sky. Back to the reflection of the Qing Dynasty, there are many strange cypresses. "Zhou Qingdui has enough opportunities to hide in the meantime. So Zhou Qingdui found a relatively hidden bluestone place here and sat cross-legged.

Zhou Qingdui's mastery of the first style of the Yuan Destroying Palm Palm Destroying Mountain is only two or three out of ten, but it is obvious that Zhou Qingdui has no time to practice now. Now he needs to stabilize the true qi in his body, before Zhou Qingdui's realm was already seven or eight levels of qi cultivation realm, now after tempering the remaining true qi in the Gathering Spirit Pill plus the continuous operation of the Taiqing Condensing Divine True Scripture to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, now Zhou Qingdui's realm is faintly close to the bottleneck.

Zhou Qingdui didn't notice that when he was cultivating, a girl in Tsing Yi with braids quietly sat on the bluestone facing the pond with small cloth shoes and looked at the pool in front of her.

The mountains and rivers are quiet, and the people of Iraq are haggard.

According to Ye Jing'an, a white-clothed Confucian scholar, this Taiqing Condensing Divine True Scripture can help him cultivate to the second realm almost unimpeded. However, Zhou Qingdui didn't want to step into the bone building realm too early at this time, one was that the tempering of his own true qi was not yet solid, and the other was that Zhou Qingdui had gone too smoothly since he stepped into the path of cultivation, so that his mastery of true qi was not good, and it could even be said that it was an extremely poor level.

Although now with the first form of the Divine Power Destroying Yuan Palm, Zhou Qingdui has been able to defeat the master of the Bone Building Realm across the border. Once, when Ye Jing'an was preparing to leave the Great Zhou Heavenly City with Zhou Qingdu, he told Zhou Qingdui on the street: The combat power level of the world's monks cannot be judged only by the cultivation realm. To judge the strength of a monk, first judge his cultivation by looking at the strength of his breath, then by looking at his magic moves, and finally by cultivating to the realm.

The previous man in red can be said to be much higher than Zhou Qingdui in terms of cultivation, and the reason why Zhou Qingdui was able to defeat the other party was because Zhou Qingdui seriously injured the other party by sneak attack at the beginning, and later the other party did not hesitate to burn his life to launch his magical powers. Therefore, Zhou Qingdui can win, and the power and luck of the Yuan Palm are very important. If he fought the man in red head-on, Zhou Qingdui had almost no chance of winning. Therefore, what Zhou Qingwan is doing now is to step into the bone building realm "naturally", that is, to constantly temper his own true qi, so that his true qi can fill the entire dantian without leakage, and to do this, it is almost impossible for Zhou Qingdui to intentionally drive to break through the realm naturally.

After Zhou Qingdu's continuous urging exercises, the impetuous true qi in his body finally calmed down, and most of the white true qi that entered his body had gradually been tempered by Zhou Qingdui to have a golden glow.

......

At this time, at the bluestone steps on the mountainside, the red-clothed right envoy with a black mask said hoarsely: "You disperse to find that man, and dig three feet into the ground today to find him, if you can't find it, you can go down and accompany the left envoy!" ”

The bandits in front of the red-clothed right envoy hurriedly clenched their fists and bent down after hearing this: "Obey the order of the right envoy." ”

When the words fell, they scattered in all directions, the ruthlessness of the left and right envoys they had seen, and after the left envoy was murdered today, it was obvious that the right envoy was in a very bad mood. If they don't find that person, they really have a good chance of becoming the ghost of this person.

This Broken Demon Mountain surrounds the entire embroidered twin cities, except for the opening of the north and south sides to the frontier and the Great Hung Capital. Therefore, this Broken Demon Mountain is actually very large, and it is generally difficult to find a person in this mountain. However, the red-clothed right envoy could conclude that the person who killed the left envoy must have been in the mountains and forests around this bluestone step.

......

Zhou Qingdui had already adjusted his state at this time, and he was ready to completely refine his true qi to perfection in one fell swoop. However, the aura of heaven and earth between the mountains and forests gradually thinned out, and it became more and more difficult to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, so Zhou Qingdui had to give up and continue to cultivate.

The young man got up and patted the dust on his clothes, and in the afterglow, there seemed to be a woman in Tsing Yi with bare feet sitting on the bluestone.

Zhou Qingwan raised his head and carefully looked at the figure on the bluestone on the opposite bank, and after confirming that it was the girl from before, he waved his hand and shouted through a corner of the pond: "Girl, girl!" ”

The girl in Tsing Yi who was looking at the pond naturally hadn't noticed anyone here before, so she turned her head to look at Zhou Qingdui with a hint of doubt on her face.

Zhou Qingdui saw that the girl in Tsing Yi looked at him, so he trotted along the pond bank to the bluestone where the girl in Tsing Yi was sitting.

The girl in Tsing Yi saw Zhou Qingdui running towards her, and turned her head to continue to look at the pool water with a green shadow swaying.

Zhou Qingdui walked beside the woman and slowly squatted down, looked at the girl in Tsing Yi who bowed her head and was silent, and asked, "Girl, didn't I tell you that it was very dangerous here, let you go home earlier, why did you come back again?" ”

The girl in Tsing Yi suddenly turned her head and looked at Zhou Qingdu, who was also looking at the pond in front of her, with her lost but extremely beautiful eyes. The girl turned her head and continued to look at the pool of green water, but she was no longer silent, and said in a low voice: "I don't want to go back, my family...... It's boring. ”

As she spoke, the girl paused, as if she was thinking.

After Zhou Qingdui heard this, he turned his head to look at the girl in Tsing Yi who was looking at the pond, lowered his head and said softly: "Girl, it's getting late, you better go home early." Here, it's going to be very unsafe right away. ”

Unexpectedly, the girl in Tsing Yi shook her head after hearing the words.

"It's fine."

Zhou Qingdui looked at the same pool water as the girl's eyes.

"Nine times out of ten, the girl's words are on your mind."

The girl in Tsing Yi was silent.

The young man next to him shook his head and said, "That's not right. Girl, it's not right for you to think so. I don't know what happened to the girl, but I forgive you for taking the liberty of bothering you for a sentence or two. My mother used to tell me not to give up hope in the world, no matter what happens. At that time, I was too young to understand what this meant. It is not until today that I figured it out after going through a lot of things. In fact, it doesn't matter how you live, as long as you are still in this world for a day, it is important to live well. ”

The girl in Tsing Yi lowered her head a little deeper and did not answer.

Zhou Qingdui didn't care, stood up and looked at the sky with only the afterglow of the sunset, and slowly spoke.

"Girl, in fact, there are many beautiful things in the world. For example, in the small town where I used to live, I didn't know much about the grass and willows, but sometimes I was very happy to be able to eat a bowl of steaming Yangchun noodles! ”
