"Will Senior Brother be disappointed?"

Shen Qi lowered his eyes and didn't look at him, and asked very dejectedly.

Mu Congyun often didn't understand where he came from so much, and he was worried for no reason, so he could only attribute it to the fact that he was too insecure to wander around in the past. still answered his question very seriously: "If you don't have talent in sword practice, it doesn't mean that you can't do it well." Besides, there are many kinds of people in this world, and not all of them are wise. ”

It took him a long time to understand this.

At the orphanage, he tried desperately to fit in with the other children, but was never accepted; When he was in school, he listened to lectures and reviewed after class, and worked hard to catch up with those smart classmates. Later, he always worked overtime until the last one, but his colleagues and superiors still had a lot of opinions about him.

Things in this world are sometimes not as good as they should be.

There are too many voices in the outside world, and I don't know what to do, so I close my ears and don't listen, and just follow my own heart.

"If you continue to practice the sword because you are afraid that I will be disappointed, even if you delay yourself, I will not be happy." Mu Congyun bent down and hung the peachwood sword on his waist: "I really care about you, I won't be disappointed because you don't do well, but accompany you to find the right way." ”

It's to accompany you to find the right way.

Shen Qipin smacked this sentence, raised his eyes to look at him, and his eyes lit up: "No one has ever said this to me." ”

Those people will only say that he is useless, a shame for the Candle Dragon Clan, and wish that there was no such person as him in this world, and even the traces of existence should be erased.

But he was born with a cheap life, and he couldn't die.

went to the end of a dead end, but became the one who survived to the end.

No one had ever told him that there was no way to go, and that there was another way to go.

"Will Senior Brother accompany me to find the right way?"

"Of course." Mu Congyun replied without hesitation.

Shen Qi felt a strange feeling surging in his heart.

A voice shouting that you believe such a clumsy lie, and when he knows your identity, I'm afraid he will be the first to kill you.

Another voice said that he was different.

Shen Qi deeply hid the dark and sticky emotions in his eyes, pursed his lips and hugged him with a smile, and rubbed his face in his neck socket like a coquette: "Senior brother, you are so good." ”

*

In the evening, Jin Yi came back from inquiring about the news.

Relying on no one to communicate with Yao, he was among the disciples of the Poison Sect for most of the day, but he found out a lot of news, but it was all the same as what Zhang Qing said, and there was no substantial gain.

"So I can only find a chance to investigate tonight and see if I can find anything." Mu Congyun Road.

Jin Yi didn't have the slightest doubt about Mu Congyunyao's strength, nodded when he heard this, raised his hand again and said, "Then I'll stay here tonight to keep vigil, if Senior Brother leaves, Shen Qi and I will have a good response." ”

On the side, pretending to practice the exercises, Yao Shen Qi raised his head suddenly, and his lips tightened unhappily.

"That's fine." Mu Congyun thought for a moment and then bowed his head.

Things are in a hurry, and now that Jiang Li is not here, Jin Yi is alone, and it is indeed safer to be with them.

Jin Yi was allowed to stay overnight, and when he dragged the Luo Han bed from the outside to the inside, he hugged the pillow and futon from the next room.

Shen Qi looked at him coldly, if it weren't for Mu Congyun's persistence, he would have been unable to help but throw people out at this time.

But Jin Qi still had no self-knowledge, so he came to him: "If you are afraid at night, just call me." ”

Shen Qi looked at him coldly and ignored him.

Jin Yi was dissatisfied and muttered: "Why do you ignore people again?" ”

……

After late at night, Mu Congyun finally waited for the right time to leave, and quietly walked out of the Red Wall Courtyard with his body.

Although Jin Yi trusted the senior brother, he was not completely heartless, sitting cross-legged on the Luohan bed, chattering with some concern: "I don't know if I can find clues, if I can find the little junior sister." She and the elder brother are here, and my heart is more steady. ”

Shen Qi turned his head to look at him, and a wisp of gray mist popped out of his fingertips, quietly enveloping Jin Qi.

Jin Yi only felt a wave of sleepiness hit him, and just yawned, and then collapsed.

stepped forward to confirm that the person had fallen asleep, Shen Qicai snorted slightly, changed his body shape and appearance, and chased after Congyun.

*

When he was wandering around with Zhang Qing during the day, Mu Congyun had already written down the general location map of the poison gate.

The poison gate is built in the valley, and the sect buildings are not much larger than the Xuanling, and the distribution is also very dense. Out of the Red Rose Courtyard and go straight to the north, it is the residence of the disciples of the Poison Sect.

Mu Congyun planned to go to the disciple's residence to investigate first, and if he didn't find it, he would go to Baili Yao's residence to investigate.

The hidden figure retracted and breathed, Mu Congyun hurried all the way to the disciple's residence, and before he entered, he heard a faint moan. The sound of groaning.

He suspected that he had misheard, and as he approached, he found that the sound of the delight was even louder. Listening to the movement, there was only one female voice, but there seemed to be several male voices.

This poisonous atmosphere is too unusual.

Mu Congyun wanted to leave quickly, but then he remembered that there were no female disciples in the poison gate now, and the women in the room were probably those strange maids. After hesitating for a moment, he jumped onto the roof and performed a water mirror to check the situation in the house.

The situation in the house was more rotten than he could have imagined.

Mu Congyun frowned tightly, and endured the discomfort to look at the woman who was surrounded by Yao, the woman was lying face down, her back was bulging, and there was indeed a butterfly in the center of the pipa bone.

The butterfly is black-red all over, and there is a circle of overlapping crimson patterns on the wings. The body of the insect burrows into the skin and lays dormant, and the slight bulge and general outline of the leaf can be seen through the pale to transparent skin. A pair of beautiful butterflies with naked wings. Exposed, unfolded and pressed against the skin of the back, at first glance, it looks like it's just an ordinary butterfly tattoo.

But if you look closely, you will see that the wings flutter a little from time to time.

Whenever the butterfly's wings flutter, the body of the insect that burrowed into the skin will also move, and a pair of tentacles will curl and shake, no different from a living thing.

And those disciples who were indulged in desire didn't seem to notice the strange butterflies on the woman's back.

Mu Congyun observed for a moment, and then went to other rooms to check.

There are many disciples of the Poison Sect, and there are dozens of rooms in the disciples' residence. Mu Congyun quickly checked the entire disciple's residence and found that there were four or five rooms with the sound of lewd music. It was also the same as before, several disciples surrounded a woman, and the woman had the strange butterfly lurking on her back.

In one of the rooms, he even saw Zhang Qing.

During the day, he looks honest and enthusiastic, but at night he becomes strange. The face of the desire to dominate is distorted and deformed, not like a person, more like a rush to intercourse. Match the beast.

Mu Congyun was secretly frightened, guessing how long the poison gate had been like this.

Coming to Yao's conclusion made him feel more and more troublesome.

If this matter is really related to Mrs. Liu, I am afraid that the abnormality of the poison gate has been for a year.

Mu Congyun's heart sank, and after settling his mood, he dived to Baili Yao's residence.

The Yaocanglan Courtyard where Baili Duck lives is located in the northwest, separated from the disciple's house by a garden and a rockery pond. The cultivation of Baili Bird was profound, Mu Congyun did not dare to hold it up, and cautiously sneaked from the roof, and did not even dare to get too close.

The layout of the Canglan Courtyard is much more luxurious than that of the disciples' residence, and even in the middle of the night, red lanterns are still hung under the eaves and in the courtyard. The dim candlelight illuminates the large field of red roses in front of the courtyard, and the black and red butterflies fluttering in the flowers.

Mu Congyun looked at these black and red butterflies that were the same as those on the back of the maid, and felt a little creepy.

He was about to go down to see what was going on, but he heard a creaking sound from the front door, the door was pushed open, and Mrs. Liu slowly walked out of the house.

Mu Congyun immediately paused his movements and carefully restrained his breath.

But Mrs. Liu did not show any clues as expected, she seemed to just can't sleep at night to come out to blow the wind and look at the scenery, so she just stood quietly under the eaves, looking at the red roses in the garden.

A butterfly flew near her, she raised her hand, and the butterfly stopped on the back of her hand, and she looked down for a moment, and when the butterfly flapped its wings and left, she went back to the house.

Mu Congyun waited patiently until the lights in the house went out, and he jumped off the roof.

- He wanted to catch a butterfly and go back.

Figuring out the origin of this butterfly species may lead to clues.

When Mu Congyun observed the butterflies, Yao Shenqi, who was hidden in the dark, stared at the door of the room that had been closed, and his face was full of interest.

- When Mrs. Liu came out, he sensed the smell of the eclipse mist. Although the aura was very faint, it could not hide it from him.

Shen Qi stretched out his palm, and the surface of the lock red building flashed dark red, and countless gray filaments spread quickly and silently towards the surroundings, capturing the residual aura of erosion and mist, and tracing back to the source.

The breath seemed to come from the house, and it seemed to be everywhere, coming from all directions.

Shen Qi put away his palms and curled his lips to reveal a happy smile.

I didn't expect that this trip to the poison gate would have such an unexpected joy, but it saved him the effort of going around to find the land of change.

Mu Congyun carefully stepped into the red rose bush, took out a vacant storage bag, carried spiritual power in his palm, and focused on the nearest butterfly——

Just as he moved, there was a sudden stabbing pain in his leg.

The palm of the soul stagnated, and the butterfly in front of it was shocked and flew up, startling a large number of wings to inhabit the butterfly.

Mu Congyun couldn't care about the butterfly anymore, and reacted very quickly to draw his sword to cut the rose branches wrapped around his calf.

At the same time, Baili Yao's voice spread from the middle of the house to all directions: "What person?!" ”

——There was too much movement in the courtyard, and Mu Congyun leaked his breath, which had already alarmed the rest of the house.

Baili Yao's cultivation is much taller than him, and it is too late to withdraw now, and he will inevitably be caught up and exposed. Mu Congyun reacted to the situation, and immediately jumped to the roof with a hidden figure, and hid with a bow

After the ridge.

If it is dark under the lamp for a hundred miles and chases him elsewhere, he will have a chance to leave.

Mu Congyun held his breath and stared, and even his heartbeat was almost none.

Baili came out of the house, and Madame Liu followed closely by his side. After seeing the ruined rose branches and frightened butterflies in the courtyard, Baili Bird did not chase them out recklessly, but took out a horizontal flute and blew it.

Mu Congyun heard the sound of insects and ants crawling around him, and knew that he was driving the poisonous insects around him to find people, and his heart was raised little by little.

Seeing this scene, Yao Shenqi, who was also hiding in the dark, glanced at the roof, sneered lightly, and waved his sleeves to let the red falcon out:

"Go get him away."

The red falcon flicked its wings and flew in the opposite direction.

Baili Bird noticed the movement, and immediately put away the horizontal flute and chased the red falcon in the direction of leaving Yao.

Mu Congyun lifted Yao's heart and fell back, not daring to delay any longer, so he immediately took a shortcut and rushed back to the Red Rose Courtyard.

Seeing this, Shen Qi's figure flickered, and he hurried back to the Red Rose Courtyard one step ahead of him.

*

Back in the Red Rose Courtyard, Mu Congyun tightened the string before he loosened.

The rose branch didn't know what was mysterious, and he rushed all the way back, only to feel that the operation of spiritual power was becoming more and more sluggish and difficult, and the speed was getting slower and slower, and it was already almost to the limit.

barely managed to enter the house, and he didn't even have time to call Jin Li, and the whole person was already weak and fell down.

rushed back first, and Yao Shenqi caught the person in time.

Jin Qi was still asleep on the Luohan bed, so he put the man on the bed and went to check the wound on his leg.

Mu Congyun's left calf was entangled by a rose branch, and the position of the leaf was already swollen and black, slightly raised, and there was a trace of black gas surging in the Yao meridians, and black and red blood flowed out of the wound of the flower thorn, which looked very terrifying.

Shen Qi twisted it with some dirty blood on his fingers, felt the power of filth contained in it, and sighed softly: "It was hidden here, no wonder I couldn't find it just now." ”

Previously, his attention was distracted by those butterflies and Mrs. Liu, thinking that butterflies and Mrs. Liu were the source, but he ignored the fact that there were roses everywhere.

Wiping his fingers clean, he went to look at Mu Congyun again.

In the coma, the eyebrows of the man were furrowed, and his face was a little pale and blue because of the influence of the eclipse fog.

The rose flowers in the courtyard were eroded by the erosion of the fog for some reason, and Mu Congyun was accidentally entangled in the flower branch and injured his leg, and the fog invaded his body at that time. With Mu Congyun Yao's cultivation, this bit of eclipse fog would not have been so serious, but he was worried that he would be discovered by Baili Bird, so he didn't pay attention to the injury on his leg at all, and forcibly used his spiritual power to rush all the way back, which aggravated the injury.

"If you hadn't met me, you wouldn't have been saved." Shen Qi looked at him condescendingly, and said to himself: "I saved you today, and I will have to return it twice in the future." ”

He covered the wound on Mu Congyun's leg with his palm, and sucked all the filthy power into his body.

Without the influence of the eclipse mist, Mu Congyun's leg wound had returned to its normal color, and the blood that flowed out of it had also turned bright red. Shen Qi took another wound medicine and bandage, and bandaged him to bandage the wound.

After everything was dealt with, he was about to wake people up, but he found that Mu Congyun Yao also had a wound on the back of his right hand.

The wound was small, spilling only a few beads of blood.

The cold white skin is used as the base, and the red lining is particularly bright.

Shen Qi stared at it for a long time, and then leaned down and licked it.

He was no stranger to the salty smell of blood on the tip of his tongue, but for the first time, he had a feeling that was almost excited, as if something was boiling in his body.

Shen Qi looked at the snow-white hand with an unpredictable expression, and licked it again as if for verification.

The tongue coating scrapes through the wound, leaving a wet and watery color.

Shen Qi played with the soft fingers in his palm, and his eyes were dark.

Just as he was thinking about it, Jin Qi's confused voice suddenly came from behind him: "Shen Qi? Big brother? ”

Shen Qi made a pause, so he had to let go of the warm hand, and slowly turned his head to look at Jin Qi, with killing intent in his eyes.

This waste is used to bad things.

Jin Yi was dazed at this moment, and he didn't notice that his expression was wrong. rubbed his head in pain and got out of bed, and when he saw Mu Congyun lying on the bed with a pale face, he finally reacted slowly and realized that something had happened. He didn't care about the headache right away

, rushed to the bed in a panic: "What's wrong with senior brother?" ”

Shen Qi lowered his head, his face was hidden in the dark and expressionless, but his voice was very panicked: "I don't know, Senior Brother fainted as soon as he entered the door, and there was still a wound on his leg, I didn't know what to do, so I could only bandage the wound on my leg first." ”

Although Jin Yi is not skilled in medicine, it can indeed be seen that the injury is not serious. When he heard this, he first checked the wound on Mu Congyun's leg, and found that it was only a skin injury that was not serious. I divided a wisp of spiritual power to explore a few acupuncture points and confirmed that the spiritual power was also stable.

"I don't see what's wrong, how can a person be unconscious?"

Jin Yi muttered in his mouth, a little panicked in his heart, but because there was still a smaller Yao Shen than himself, and he had to try to maintain his composure, the whole person walked around the house anxiously.

Shen Qi was annoyed by the noise, and swayed between killing and not killing.

Fortunately, outside the courtyard, there was a sudden sound of Yao banging on the door interrupting the two of Yao's thoughts, Jin Yi straightened his body with a spirit, and then realized that he had to rely on himself when he was sick and young in the house, so he calmed down, he took a few deep breaths and said: "I'll go out to see what's going on, if the situation is not right, I will find a way to drag the people outside, you take the senior brother to escape first." ”

He vaguely felt that the movement outside was related to Senior Brother Yao's night visit tonight.

Shen Qi glanced at him, but he thought about how Xie Cifeng could accept such a fool as an apprentice.

Jin Yi pushed the door out with a sad heart, and when he reached the gate of the courtyard, the expression on his face was no different from usual.

He yawned and opened the door, leaned out half of his body to look out, and saw the disciples of the Yao Poison Sect holding torches around the hospital gate with a blank expression: "What's wrong?" In my dreams, I can hear the noise outside. ”

The disciple of the leader Yao arched his hand and said: "There was an assassin sneak attack at night, and the lady was injured, but the thief escaped by luck. Now the big guy is searching everywhere for the thief's whereabouts. The head of the family was worried that several senior brothers were implicated, so he asked us to come over and investigate. lest the thief hide in the courtyard and hurt the guest. ”

Although he said it politely, he meant nothing more than to search the yard.

Jin Yi was suspicious of the other party and said that the thief was the senior brother, and now that the senior brother had not woken up, he naturally did not dare to let the person out, so he only blocked the door with his body, pretending to be sleepy-eyed and hazy and said: "No one is coming to our side, with my senior brother here, if the thief dares to come here, he will have been caught and twisted in front of the head of Baili." ”

"Having said that, but the head has explained, we naturally have to do our due diligence to investigate before we can rest assured. If there is an omission that hurts a few senior brothers, we can't explain it to the master. ”

"It makes sense, but ......" Jin Yi didn't block the door anymore, and the two brothers put their hands on the shoulders of the leading disciple Yao and walked in, and their voices were deliberately raised: "But my senior brother is meditating and practicing, he has a bad temper, and he has always hated people to be noisy, you should be quiet, it's best not to enter the house." Otherwise, if the senior brother loses his temper, I can't stop it. ”

As he spoke, he prayed in his heart that Shen Qi would be more clever and understand his hints.

The leading Yao disciple nodded in response, and waved his hand to let the follow-up Yao disciples search around.

Jin Yi casually blocked the door of Mu Congyun's house on his face, and he was already so nervous that he wanted to shake his legs.

A group of disciples searched the courtyard and the empty house, but found nothing.

The leading disciple looked at Jin Yi: "There is only one room left to be checked, so it is better for us to be safe." ”

Jin Yi reluctantly moved slowly, and said, "You really want to check?" If my brother loses his temper, I won't be able to protect you. ”

"We should have apologized for disturbing Senior Brother Mu's rest." The disciple of Shou Yao stepped forward with a strong attitude.

Jin Yi desperately turned his head to think about how to stop the person, and suddenly heard the sound of the door opening behind him, and then Mu Congyun's cold voice wanted to sound: "Come in, everyone." ”

admire

Congyun walked out of the house, Shen Qi followed closely beside him, glanced at a few people, and whispered: "There is such a big noise, I don't know if Yao still thinks we are thieves." ”

Hearing this, the first disciple's expression changed, and he immediately apologized with a smile: "Senior Brother Mu, forgive me, it is really the head of the family, we dare not let go of the slightest possibility." ”

Mu Congyun stood with his hands in his hands, and bowed his head with a cold face: "Understand, everyone, let's clear." ”

Several disciples entered the house, and after a quick search, they retreated.

The leading disciple apologized again: "Disturbed a few senior brothers tonight, and we will go back to the head of the sect to report our lives." ”

After the people left, Jin Yi hurriedly went to tie the courtyard door, walked back to the house quickly, circled around Mu Congyun, and said in surprise: "Senior brother, are you okay?" ”

Mu Congyun was also a little puzzled, he did feel that his spiritual power was sluggish and difficult to operate before, but after he woke up after falling into a coma, he returned to normal. After thinking about it, it can only be attributed to the poison of the thorns on the rose branches, but the toxicity is not deep, and it dissolves by itself.

Seeing Jin Yi's nervous face, he bowed his head slightly and said, "It's okay." I will find an opportunity to tell you tomorrow that I will rest tonight, so as not to be seen by anything. ”

While the three of them were resting, the disciple of Zhan Yao was returning from Canglan Courtyard.

"There are three people in the Red Rose Courtyard, and there are a lot of them. The complexion was very normal, and no one was injured. ”

Mrs. Liu frowned lightly and pondered: "If it's not them, who else will there be?" ”

Among the four people in Xuanling, the eldest disciple Mu Congyun cultivated the highest, and when she found that someone had broken into Canglan Courtyard, she first suspected that Yao was Mu Congyun, so she specially sent someone to investigate.

The thief was injured by the flower branch tonight, if it was really Mu Congyun, it would inevitably show clues.

But the disciple said that no one was injured.

Could it be someone else? Is there anyone else who has also been involved in the poison gate?

Mrs. Liu pondered for a moment, looking at the severed rose branches, and the beautiful face crossed with anger: "Go and bring two people, it's time to add flower fertilizer." ”

She walked slowly to the flowers, touched the broken branches of the flowers that were cut off by the sword, and said softly: "Don't worry, when I catch the thief, I will drag it to make flower fertilizer for you." ”
