"Why, there's no light at all." Kong Lanting's scabbard did not leave his hand, and his two eyebrows furrowed looked ahead.

The bleak moonlight shone through the mist, the old rocks were craggy, the grass was barren, and some huge irregular holes were black and scattered on them, and it felt cold at a glance.

"This peak is based on a cave, the peak is natural and exquisite, and the stone chambers are all below." Guan Qianyan said, "And now that everyone is gone, of course there is no one." ”

"What if there is no one, then what if it reappears." Kong Lanting still had palpitations, "We have to report it to the elders quickly." ”

"I think that thing might just be a smuggler." Guan Qianyan had a different idea at this time, "Since the Golden Seal can go down, how can the elders not know, we are coming up quietly now, wouldn't it be self-defeating if we say it?" ”

Kong Lanting looked at her with wide eyes: "You really don't remember to eat." ”

Guan Qianyan knocked him a chestnut.

Having said that, but now this peak pillar is indeed cold and lonely, although the two of them climbed up from the ground, but the stone pillar is isolated from the sea of fog, and it is still helpless. With a light moon and cold fog, a dark sky and rocky sky, they seemed to have crossed a dangerous sea and arrived at this isolated place.

The two of them walked slowly down to the nearest hole, and when they turned back, they could see a huge iron stake, which was where the chain bridge was connected.

Now there is no chain to see coming from the fog, only it stands bare.

"The chains are all gone, so they should be gone."

Kong Lanting didn't move, he looked at the fog outside the peak a little blankly, and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Senior Sister Guan, have you smelled a little bit of blood." ”

Guan Qianyan was stunned for a moment, and the wings of her nose seemed to have really captured a little fishy from afar, but it disappeared in an instant. And that's the direction in which the law enforcement hall came from.

"It's a wound on my neck." Guan Qianyan touched it, "Don't worry about it yet." ”

"Oh."

The girl withdrew her gaze and stepped into the grotto first, and after a while, a low voice came from below, "Come down, it seems that there is really no one." ”

Kong Lanting jumped down, and his eyes suddenly darkened, indeed, the steps here have been repaired, and tables and chairs have been placed, which is obviously a room that is often used, but now there is no candle flame at all, only relying on a few open-air places to refract the already faint moonlight.

But after all, as long as there is light, people with cultivation can see a lot of roads clearly, Guan Qianyan identified the direction, and the two of them walked forward.

"Where are we going to find Senior Brother Jingbi?"

"There is a stone prison on the back of this peak pillar, which is open to the outside of the peak, and Jing Bi is locked there."

"Senior sister, do you know the way, don't get lost again."

"There's no fog, I'm confused about what direction." Guan Qianyan glared at him, "Are you leaving?" ”

"Let's go." Kong Lanting held his head in his hands and said immediately.

The two of them slowly walked inside, the grotto getting deeper and deeper, but it was silent, and the whole peak seemed to be empty, only the two of them and the young man they had not seen for a while.

The courage of the two gradually increased, their steps were no longer cautious, and their voices became slightly louder, but as they walked, their footsteps stopped suddenly.

The words were also cut off in half.

In the dark and silent corner ahead, a very faint orange light came through, faintly flickering and disappearing.

The two paused for a moment, glanced at each other, and quietly walked over against the wall, Guan Qianyan came to the door and cautiously poked half of his eyes in.

Empty.

In the empty room, there were only two sets of tables and chairs and some simple utensils, and the candle stood on the table, which was about to burn out, and some wisps of black smoke flew out of the firelight. On the other table was an oil lamp, still bright, and two sword hooks were nailed to the stone wall next to it, but the swords on it were gone.

Guan Qianyan looked at it for a while, and a little head that couldn't bear it poked out from her waist: "Senior Sister Guan, what's going on?" ”

"It's okay, they're in a hurry, and the candles aren't extinguished." Guan Qianyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Indeed, the man had apparently been gone for a while, and the candle had burned to the very bottom, and the column was no longer visible, except for the shape of a puddle, and the wick was about to be submerged in it.

The two walked in reassuringly, Guan Qianyan looked around, found a book on the wall, and read with his back hand: "Today's Jia Jiuzhu is on duty: Dai Qiwen, Mo Chang - it turned out to be Senior Brother Mo." ”

Turning his head and said: "Further on, it should be straight to the back peak - don't go shopping, let's go." ”

"Okay." Kong Lanting stood in front of another table, turned around obediently, and muttered, "This oil lamp is quite full." ”

"What?" Guan Qianyan was stunned.

"This lamp, it's full of oil—" Kong Lanting suddenly realized something, and the words broke in his throat.

Guan Qianyan walked over quickly, and at this moment, the wax core behind him was submerged in the oil, and it completely dimmed with the "poof" of the two light and out. On the table in front of him, the flames burned vigorously and steadily, and the lamp oil in the lamp was so bright and overflowing that it almost crawled out of the rim.

“.”

The bodies of both men fell silent at the same time.

It was at this moment that they suddenly felt that something was already wrong—the chair behind the table was not pushed away by the normal uplift, but was pushed against the back wall with such force as a catapult; The ink pen did not rest on the pen holder, but fell directly on the paper book, and the ink had sunk and soaked a large area; The shelf behind it was skewed a little by something, and there was a sharp and deep sword mark on it

"No, Senior Sister Guan." Kong Lanting's voice was extremely soft.

Guan Qianyan looked at the stone wall in front of him without saying a word, just below the two sword hooks, the stone wall was polished and smooth, and a line of words was engraved on it: Jiajiuzhu is in the right position of the word A, and the north-south traffic, no matter when, at least one must be on duty in order to respond to the sudden change.

“.”

But now the person left behind, whether it is Dai Qiwen or Mo Chang, is no longer visible. The lower part of the slate was a vacant depression, and Guan Qianyan remembered what it was at this time - the dormancy place of [Snake Eye Chasing Evil], which was a magic weapon to assist in guarding the prison, and could send out a warning signal, which could be activated when the disciple on duty was in distress.

Now it's open.

The two of them were speechless for a while, and suddenly Guan Qianyan pressed the hilt of the sword suddenly: "Jing Bi!" ”

Immediately rushed forward.

"Senior Sister Guan!" Kong Lanting didn't hold back, and hurriedly followed.

Leaving this hall is a very long and deep tunnel.

It was clearly carved out by hand, and the path went down, and there were no more bifurcations in the stone chamber, and the dark and cold feeling buried in the ground became heavier and heavier, which was obviously another situation far from the front hall.

Guan Qianyan saw the sword marks on the stone wall again, but his heart and lungs tightened when he walked further, and he saw that on the wall next to him, an iron-colored snake with a small arm length pierced into it, but the tail of his body was twisted and damaged, and some of the Xuan patterns were still circulating messily.

【Snake Eyes Chasing Evil】

Guan Qianyan looked at this place with a tight breath, and the splash of blood was splashed on the stone wall, bright red.

“.”

Don't think about it anymore, there must be something going on here, it's just that I don't know who the intruder is and what the situation is now.

Jing Bi was banned in prison and unarmed. Guan Qianyan gritted his teeth, and the two moved forward again.

The tunnel was getting shorter and shorter, the familiar fog and cold had passed from the end of the passage, and the bloody aura was getting stronger, and the last few corners were in front of them, and the two of them once again lightly lowered their steps.

However, from the end of the passage, instead of the sound of blades fighting, a subtle male voice came: "It's all dealt with?" ”

"I've been waiting for you for a while."

"It's more important over there." The male voice whispered, "-Did you stop him?" ”

"It's all sent out, as long as it's too late."

"Let's get started."

"Okay, I'll go get the painting liquid."

The words stopped here, and Guan Qianyan was about to move forward quietly, but the footsteps at the other end suddenly sounded first, and he came straight to this side.

Both men tensed their bodies at the same time.

At this point, there was absolutely no way to retreat, and it was impossible for them to retreat faster than each other in a state of silence.

But this is indeed an opportunity for the enemy to be left alone, Guan Qianyan drew her sword in a silent and slow way, turned around and gave Kong Lanting a look, whether the boy understood it or not, in short, her body was as low as a female leopard.

Then the figure turned out of the shadows, and all the girl's preparations were abruptly cut off at this moment.

She suddenly caught the familiarity in her voice, and she understood why she didn't recognize it.

Because the voice had always appeared in everyone's ears with a gentleness as clear as a spring breeze, she had never heard it so cold and short, like a sharp dagger.

His whole body seemed to have been stripped of the spring breeze, revealing the ice that had not melted for thousands of years under him, fine blood spots were splashed on his blue and white robe, the unsheathed sword was upside down in his hand, and the man bowed his head and turned the corner expressionlessly.

The second moment this familiar figure appeared in the field of vision, Guan Qianyan stood up from the shadows in surprise: "Senior Brother Xi! ”

Xi Tianji raised his head suddenly, the cold light in his eyes almost penetrated the girl's throat for a moment, and Guan Qianyan froze for a moment: "Senior Brother Xi? ”

Xi Tianji froze for a moment, and his voice softened: "Why are you here?" ”

"We want to come and visit Jing Bi." Guan Qianyan laughed again, and when she saw this figure, she felt relaxed all of a sudden, "Senior Brother Xi, what's going on here?" We've seen a lot of blood along the way, have you been hurt? ”

"Some of the villains have been cleaned up." Xi Tianji let out a smile, which was gentle and natural, "We will soon ask the elders to come over and deal with it. Don't go any further, go back. ”

"Ah, how about Jing Bi?" Guan Qianyan's body relaxed and at the same time let go of the hilt of the sword, and stepped forward and said, "Senior Brother Xi, is he okay?" ”

"It's fine." Xi Tianji smiled slightly, even if a small puff of blood was splashed on his face, he still had a stable wind, and said in a low voice, "The things here are not suitable for you to mix, go back quickly." ”

"Then shall we see Jing Bi on the other hand?" Guan Qianyan raised his head and pleaded, "It's all here, let's meet Senior Brother Xi." ”

"Nope." Xi Tianji said solemnly, "It's not child's play, hurry back!" ”

"Okay." Guan Qianyan lowered his head unwillingly and turned back. She knew that this senior brother rarely rejected people, but once he refused, there was no turning point.

"Ah" Kong Lanting also turned around reluctantly, but suddenly remembered again, and said in a low voice, "By the way, Senior Brother Xi, let me tell you something, we have a living sword under the valley, which will kill, I don't know if you know." ”

“.”

"What's the matter, Senior Brother Xi?"

"Have you seen a living sword?"

"Yes, we came from the bottom of the valley and we ran into it, and it floated in the air on its own, very fierce and powerful." Kong Lanting said seriously, "But I don't know why he suddenly let us go—Senior Brother Xi?" ”

"Oh." Xi Tianji slowly raised his head, Qingjun's face was expressionless, "Don't go, do you want to see Zhang Jingbi. Then come on. ”

“.”

The two looked at each other, but the man had already turned sideways and motioned for them to move forward, which was the direction in which the cold mist had spread, and the two were a little dazed by the atmosphere, but they still moved their steps.

Xi Tianji followed them.

When the long tunnel reached the port, the cold mist invaded again, and the two of them walked out of the long tunnel, taking in everything on the outer floor of the cave.

I didn't see any bad guys.

Mo Chang's corpse was nailed to the stone wall, pierced through his throat by his own sword, his head bowed and his eyes burst out, blood flowed down, and a mournful meandering line hung on the stone wall.

A twenty-four-five-year-old man was leaning against a boulder across from him, his face still a little dusty, and he was bowing his head to wipe a long sword.

The entire cliff was filled with a huge and complicated carving array, more than ten feet long and wide, and this shocking and strange scene made both of them freeze, and when they moved their eyes to the end, that scene hit their brainstrings.

The stone prison had been opened, and Zhang Jingbi, who was bound and had no true qi, was nailed to the stone wall by an iron drill through his chest.

It apparently avoided his heart, but deliberately destroyed part of his lungs, turning the boy into a badly wounded creature to be slaughtered. Zhang Jingbi's face and lips trembled, his head was weakly tilted to the side, and every breath had to be inhaled several times like a fish on the shore, looking miserable and ridiculous.

He looked at them diligently, and he didn't know what to convey in his sad eyes.

Kong Lanting couldn't say a word, and Guan Qianyan almost broke out of a scream in his throat.

At this moment, the man in the middle raised his head, and the girl suddenly realized that she also recognized this face—although since he served in the Lotus Heart Pavilion, he rarely appeared in front of the disciples again.

Cold, deep-cut, like an eagle eagle, named after murder with a sword, I heard that he had entered the eighth life the year before last.

"Senior Brother Jiang, this is—" The girl's body froze with her words, and her back jerked back suddenly, like a fish stuck in her heart.

The true qi in her body collapsed in the meridians in an instant, blood flew out of her throat, and she fell to the ground stiffly, and in the afterglow, the boy's body was also trembling and falling.

Then she felt the palm of her hand retract from behind her back, and in the disbelief of the collapse, the girl felt like she was being picked up and thrown under Mo Chang's body with the boy. This is probably the only corner in the audience that doesn't interfere with this carving array, next to it is garbage like the Broken Sword Blood Cloth.

"There's always something bad going on." Jiang Yitong said coldly.

Guan Qianyan panted tremblingly, she didn't know what kind of exercise this was, it could make people lose all their resistance power with one palm, she only felt unprecedented pain, her heart seemed to be constantly twisting and cracking, and tears had overflowed from her eyes.

She tried to look away at the little boy beside her, who was much stronger than her, and he bit his eyes tightly, but his body trembled and spasmed uncontrollably.

Xi Tianji carried the bronze box in one hand, and indifferently left a back: "How to deal with these two people?" ”

"Just ask." Jiang Yitong glanced at him coldly, "It's not easy to kill openly, and it is estimated that it will also be 'missing'." ”

"Okay."

"Painting liquid." Jiang Yitong stretched out his hand and took it. Then the man walked to the beginning of the carved array on the ground, and slowly poured a box of clear and viscous liquid, and when it flowed into the carved ravines, the faint starlight seemed to penetrate the mist, and the liquid immediately contained a glittering light.

Little by little, they dispersed, and the complex formations seemed to light up in front of them, a kind of natural and perfect slow structure.

The process took about a quarter of an hour, and Guan Qianyan tried countless times to calm down and break free from this spasm, but the pain of the twisting broke all her efforts in the next moment. In the face of truly cruel means, this girl who thinks she is not afraid of heaven and earth is like a fragile young bird.

The star liquid flowing through the ground had begun to gradually merge, but at the end of the end, the man left a blank space, not allowing the formation to really be completed.

"Let's take the soul." River to channel.

Xi Tianji took out a half-black and half-transparent bead and walked towards the stone prison.

Guan Qianyan looked at this scene tremblingly, and at this moment she suddenly understood what she had encountered.

When the Law Enforcement Hall nervously monitored the entire Tie Song Sword, when Yan Caiyue was seriously injured and Xianqiao Peak was closely guarded, the girl had asked her father curiously countless times, and finally learned from him the vague appearance of this matter.

But that ghostly "Soul Snatching Sword" seems to be a story on the horizon, and Guan Qianyan forgot about it after hearing it, and never took it to heart.

And now it is not only brutally staged in front of him, but it is also the most trusted and respected senior brother who indifferently kills his own disciples!

Guan Qianyan watched him walk towards Zhang Jingbi step by step, her throat trembled and squeezed out the pitch-changing "no", she gritted her teeth and struggled to get up, but once again she was crushed by the severe pain without any suspense.

So then she suddenly realized the fact that even if she broke free from this pain, nothing could be changed.

That's the senior brother who can unload his long sword with a sword in his hand, that is the face of the first Kongtong in the previous generation, and now he is not a person from the same world as them. A palm of his hand can make the two of them collapse, and even if he stands up, he can't stop anything.

At this time, she deeply regretted that she had brought her junior brother to such a place, an empty and uninhabited place - there were still many opportunities to stop gambling, but many times, life and death were just one step wrong.

She didn't understand this at a very old age, but it was too late.

But Xi Tianji's hand still stopped.

"Didn't you stop it?" Jiang Yitong straightened up and raised his sword in a cold tone.

Xi Tianji also pressed the bead horizontal sword, and the two looked at the entrance of the cave together.

Guan Qianyan didn't know what was going on, and the boy next to him also looked at it with his neck trembling, the true qi of the two of them had collapsed, and some distant sounds could no longer reach their ears.

But soon the sound of Xuan He crashed into the eyes and ears of mortals, in the long tunnel of mist and haze, from far and near, a sharp sound of a whistling sound filled both ears in an instant, and the fog of the entire peak was agitated and trembled.

The speed that made the heart and lungs suddenly contract, on the cliff flat, Jiang Yitong's pupils constricted, and he stepped forward with the sword, Guan Qianyan had never seen the full strength of this sword leader of the previous generation, but now the sword in front of him had proved everything.

The mist and cold grass of the entire cliff were subdued in an instant, and the man's long sword was horizontal, and the true qi of the eight lives was squeezed into an unbreakable golden wall in front of him.

The next moment, the screaming thing rushed out of the cliff cave, squeezing the entire long tunnel, and the roar of the explosion swept through the entire cliff in an instant.

In the stinging pain of the eardrum, a sword shadow with clouds and qi pierced through everything that Jiang Yitong blocked in front of him, the true qi collapsed like the wind, and the white qi flew like broken feathers, and in the chaos, only the beautiful sword body was stretched into a translucent central axis straight line.

Nailed Jiang Yitong to the cliff.

The whistle died down, and clear footsteps sounded step by step at the mouth of the long tunnel.

The young man walked out of the shadow slowly, the light moon faded the shadow on his body little by little, the blood soaked the black hair, his clothes were dyed, he gasped lightly, his eyes looked around coldly, and then stared at Xi Tianji opposite.

"You're the only one?"
