In a small clearing, a bonfire was "crackling" and everyone was sitting around the fire to rest quietly.

The group had been on the march for a day, and as night slowly fell, the light in the swampy woods became dim. After passing through the miasma, he found neither the whereabouts of the mysterious woman nor anyone else along the way, nor did he feel any aura movements. Yan Luoting began to doubt the authenticity of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasure message, and retreated. Lu Baifeng trusted the information of the Hunting Word Hall very much and decided to move on. Yan Luoting didn't dare to go back alone, so he had to follow everyone.

It's summer, but the swampy nights are still a little cool. This night was different, and there was a light wind. Instead of meditating, Tianxiao sat under a tree and meditated silently. Whenever he recalls the carefree life of his younger brother Tianyao in Yundu Villa when he was a child, Tianxiao sighs. The mysterious enemy slaughtered the whole village overnight, and until now it has not been able to trace who the murderer is, which is really depressing. As the saying goes: "The enmity of parents is not shared", and I don't know who to go to to repay this blood debt.

Tianyao walked over and sat down beside his brother. Brothers are connected, their minds are compatible, Tianyao can see Tianxiao's expression and know that he thinks of his parents again. He patted his brother on the shoulder and comforted: "Five years have passed since the tragedy of Cloud Twilight Villa, and my grandfather has tried his best to track it down, but there is still no clue, in this case, no matter how sad we are, it will be useless." Now we are still practicing hard and cultivating our skills wholeheartedly, and when we find out who the enemy family is in the future, our brothers will join forces to break their corpses into thousands of pieces! In the six years since we joined the sect, we have only cultivated to the middle stage of harmony, which is still far from enough. ”

"It's been six years and you're still not satisfied? Xiao Liying saw that Tianxiao had something on his mind, walked up to the two of them and sat down, "You are an example for other disciples of the sect, don't be presumptuous there, why don't you put the faces of our senior brothers and sisters?" After speaking, Xiao Liying took out two wild fruits from behind him like a trick, and handed them to the two of them one in each hand: "Oh, this wild fruit is still very delicious." Then he approached the two of them and whispered, "Senior Brother Yan didn't know where to pick it up and gave it to me and Senior Sister Lu to eat." He also said that there are few fruits, just a few, don't let others know, hmph, that selfish fellow! ”

Tianxiao and Tianyao were also not polite, took the fruit and gnawed it. The wild fruits of the swamp taste good. Watching the two of them take a big bite to eat, Xiao Liying showed a gentle smile on her face, hugged her knees, and looked at the two of them in a daze. The fruit was not big, Tianxiao finished eating it in a few bites, raised his head and wanted to thank Xiao Liying, but when he saw her gentle smile like spring breeze and rain, Tianxiao was stunned. Xiao Liying under the hazy moonlight and sparkling firelight is so beautiful. Tianyao also finished eating at this time, and noticed that the expressions of the two were not quite right, so he couldn't hold back his laughter and quietly got up and left.

Tianyao got up, Xiao Liying came back to her senses and felt Tianxiao's hot eyes. I don't know why, her face flushed, she felt that her heart was beating restlessly, and she wanted to get up and leave quickly, but she was a little reluctant, and between hesitations, she stared at herself directly.

Suddenly, Xiao Liying's face was red to the root of her ears, and seeing that Tianxiao was still stunned, she finally couldn't help but ask softly: "Hey, how long do you have to watch......

Tianxiao was shocked suddenly, his face turned red, scratched his head, and explained embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Senior Sister Xiao, I'm ...... I was distracted just now, you ...... Are you alright?"

Xiao Liying "fluttered" for a while: "After holding it for a long time, you will hold back such a sentence that you have to get rid of the scum? What is wrong with me? You still call me 'Senior Sister Xiao', or ......" Speaking of this, Xiao Liying paused, took a deep breath, and plucked up the courage to say, "Or you will ...... in the future" You just call me 'Liying'......" At the end of the words, Xiao Liying's voice became smaller and smaller, almost inaudible.

Tianxiao was stunned at first, and then waved his hand again and again in fright: "Don't do it!

Xiao Liying couldn't help but be angry and annoyed, he was a girl's family, and he didn't know why he was so much, so he angrily blamed: "Oops! you are such a big fool!" After speaking, he pouted and turned his head.

Tianxiao was even more confused, why did the senior sister who had always been amiable get angry inexplicably? Where did she still look like a senior sister, but like a gambling little girl.

Tianyao behind the tree was so anxious that he wanted to stomp his feet, but he didn't go far after getting up just now, but secretly walked around to the back of the big tree. Tianxiao and Xiao Liying's thoughts were on each other, and they didn't notice that he was hiding behind a tree. Since Tianyao was sensible, except for Xiao Liying, he had never seen his brother show such an infatuated expression to any other girl. If you want to say that it is because Xiao Liying is beautiful, it is not necessarily true, in terms of appearance, senior sister Tang Junhe and junior sister Zhu Xiaomin are both one in a million, although Tianxiao usually has more contact with the two of them, but he has never seen Tang and Zhu so engrossedly. Therefore, Tianxiao's thoughts, Tianyao had already guessed eight or nine points. Since the reunion of the Taiqing Martial Arts Association, Xiao Liying has become a frequent visitor to Zhuyuan. She is a very good person, she is kind to everyone, Tianyao also admires this beautiful sister with a gentle personality, and he always feels that Xiao Liying seems to take special care of Tianxiao. If she can really fall in love with Tianxiao, Tianyao will definitely be the first to approve of their affairs.

However, my brother is an elm head, and Tianyao can only be in a hurry. Xiao Liying sat there and turned her head sulking, while Tianxiao squatted beside her stupidly, not even knowing where to put her hand. Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was so awkward.

In the end, Tianxiao couldn't help it, and shouted timidly: "Senior Sister Xiao......"

"Hmph!" Xiao Liying glanced at him angrily.

"Uh...... Liying ...... Senior sister, it's pretty cold here, let's go back to the campfire!" Tianxiao finally added the word "senior sister".

But it's much better than "Senior Sister Xiao", looking at Tianxiao's embarrassed appearance, Xiao Liying couldn't help laughing, answered, and stood up.

Tianxiao just took a step, and suddenly stood still again. Xiao Liying asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"Shhhh......h Xiao Liying looked at him puzzled, and after a few breaths, he said, "It seems that someone is coming this way, and I heard faint footsteps." ”

Xiao Liying's eyes widened, and she didn't hear anything except the "crackling" sound of the campfire burning a little farther away. At this time, Tianyao came out from behind the tree and said with great certainty: "And there is more than one person who comes." ”

Looking at the serious expressions of Tianxiao and Tianyao, and remembering that the two of them had shown extraordinary sensory ability, Xiao Liying was sure that this was true, and she just wanted to remind the few people who were meditating loudly, when she heard Lu Baifeng shouting in a deep voice: "Who is coming?" This shout was extremely loud, and the sound was endless, spreading into the distance.

After a few breaths, a loud voice came back from a distance: "We are disciples of the Red Sun Sect and the Cold Moon Sect. I don't know what sect you are?"

Lu Baifeng smiled lightly and shouted, "It turned out to be the Red Sun Sect and the Cold Moon Sect. We are the disciples of the Taiqing Sect and the Yeli Sect, if there is nothing to do, you still don't want to come. ”

The Red Sun Sect, the Cold Moon Sect, the Taiqing Sect, and the Night Separation Sect have always been incompatible. The founding patriarchs of the Red Sun Sect and the Cold Moon Sect are senior brothers and sisters, and they are also double cultivators. Back then, after they created the Red Sun Sect and the Cold Moon Sect respectively, they made a rule that the Red Sun Sect only accepted male disciples, and the Cold Moon Sect only accepted female disciples, although the two sects were located in Tenglong County and Feilong County respectively, but the relationship has always been very close. Since the founding patriarch was originally a Taoist companion, and the exercises passed down complemented each other, the disciples of the Red Sun Sect and the disciples of the Cold Moon Sect were very good at the method of joint attack. From ancient times to the present, most of the male disciples of the Red Sun Sect will find a female disciple in the Cold Moon Sect to marry a Taoist couple.

Lu Baifeng said this because he didn't want to be embarrassed after meeting, it was a good intention, but it was misinterpreted.

The voice replied, "Oh, what a breath! I want to see what you can do to stop us from passing!"

Lu Baifeng shook his head and sighed lightly: "What a self-righteous guy." With that, he closed his eyes and continued to meditate. With his strength in the late stage of the cave void, a person who is not an elder level can't help him.

After a while, a group of people walked out of the forest, and the men were all wearing red robes with a golden sun embroidered on their chests. The women were all dressed in blue robes with a crescent moon embroidered on the hem. The red and blue Dao robes were the symbols of the disciples of the Red Sun Sect and the Cold Moon Sect.

One of the male disciples at the head had a lot of gray hair, but his face looked very young. His eyes were full of disdain, looking at the people in meditation, his spiritual sense spread, one by one, he came over, Yuan Ying, Yuan Ying, and even those in the realm of harmony, the more he investigated, the more proud he became, after probing most of the people, he just wanted to open his mouth to say something, and suddenly, he felt two people in the early stage of the void. He hurriedly swallowed the words that came to his lips, wondering in his heart, why was the strength of the disciples sent by the Taiqing Sect and the Yeli Sect so uneven? Investigate the next one, Wang Ruobin in the middle of the cave void, he guessed that it should be this person who shouted just now. He himself is only in the middle stage of the void, and it is expected that there should be no more people in a higher realm.

However, he guessed wrong. The last object of the spiritual sense investigation was Lu Baifeng, who was sitting in the farthest distance, but he couldn't feel Lu Baifeng's cultivation realm at all. His heart sank, cold sweat broke out, and he said secretly: "Oops, such unlucky, there are really masters who surpass me." ”

This person immediately solemnly bowed his hand: "I am Xia Dongming, a disciple of the Chiri Sect, I don't know that the elder of the Taiqing Sect is here, I offended a lot just now, and I still hope for Haihan." "To be qualified to become an elder when you step into silence, this is the same rule of all major sects. couldn't detect Lu Baifeng's realm, and seeing that he had a scruffy beard, Xia Dongming mistook him for an elder.

Lu Baifeng smiled slightly, and said in his heart, this person really knows the wind and the rudder.

Although there is discord between the sects, it is not enough to fight to the death as soon as they meet. Seeing that even Xia Dongming was so respectful, the disciples of the Red Sun Sect and the Cold Moon Sect behind him hurriedly bowed their hands.

Lu Baifeng laughed heartily: "Everyone, please excuse me." I'm not an elder of the Taiqing Sect, I'm just a disciple of the late stage of the Cave Void. ”

Seeing Lu Baifeng's demeanor, the stone in Xia Dongming's heart fell to the ground. After all, he was the first to speak out just now, and if Lu Baifeng didn't buy his account, he couldn't help it. "This is Shen Bixuan, a disciple of the Cold Moon Sect, and also my double cultivator. The two cases on this trip were led by the two of us. Xia Dongming pointed to a female disciple of the Cold Moon Sect next to him and introduced.

Shen Bixuan is quite beautiful, but her temperament is a little cold. She had been practicing in the Cold Moon Sect for more than twenty years, and now she was in the late stage of the Void Realm. After she nodded, her eyes swept over everyone, and only the cultivation realms of the four of Lu Baifeng and Han Mingfei could enter her eyes.

"Since everyone met here, it can be regarded as fate. I think it's better to walk together, after all, more people are safer. Yan Luoting smiled and extended invitations to the disciples of the Red Sun Sect and the Cold Moon Sect. Of course, he wasn't really afraid of danger, but because the disciples of the Cold Moon Sect were all beautiful girls.

Shen Bixuan's voice was as cold as her temperament: "Thank you for your kindness." It's just that you and I are not in the same sect, and it is very inconvenient to go together. We still found another place to rest and disturbed. Shen Bixuan could roughly guess his thoughts as soon as she looked at Yan Luoting's fiery eyes looking at her junior sisters. For people like this, it's better to avoid them.

"Fellow Daoists, I have taken my leave. Xia Dongming also bowed his hand and prepared to lead the team away.

Han Mingfei suddenly stopped them: "Xia Daoyou, don't be in a hurry to leave, I have something to ask for." After you entered the swamp, did you see a mysterious woman with a hideous face?"

Xia Dongming replied: "No." We didn't see anyone along the way. Suddenly, he remembered something and added, "But there is something very strange. When we were resting last night, we heard a very quiet female voice, which meant to persuade us to leave the swamp. I think it's probably a boring person pretending to be a ghost and ignoring it. With that, the group left.

Tianyao said to Han Mingfei: "Senior brother, I have some thoughts about the strange signs of the Green Cloud Swamp. ”

Hearing this, Han Mingfei raised his eyebrows: "Oh? ”

Tian Yao sorted out his thoughts for a moment, and then began to analyze: "First of all, there is that strange miasma area. Let's think about it, why is the color of the miasma here different from other places? The green miasma must have never been seen by all the senior brothers and sisters, right? Also, if it is the miasma produced by the Green Cloud Swamp itself, why is there a clear boundary?"

Tianxiao's eyes lit up: "You mean, the miasma of the Green Cloud Swamp is not naturally formed?"

"That's right!"

Lu Mingyao wondered: "It's not a natural formation, it's artificially created, what is the purpose of this person to create this miasma?"

Tianyao took a deep breath: "I'm afraid this is related to the reason why we came to the swamp this time." I think that the purpose of the person who created the miasma was to use the miasma to separate the immortal cultivators from ordinary people. ”

"Senior Brother Tianyao is right. To pass through the miasma, it is impossible to do without Lu Ning Dan. And Lu Ning Dan, which is only available in the Immortal Cultivation Sect, is difficult for ordinary people to get their hands on. In other words, the person who could pass through that miasma could only be a disciple of the Immortal Cultivation Sect. Lu Baifeng agreed.

Tianxiao suddenly realized and said in surprise: "I understand what Brother Yao meant." Could it be that the birth of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasure this time is itself a big deception?"

Tianyao nodded: "No matter what the person who created the miasma wants to do, one thing is for sure, he must have some intentions against the immortal cultivators. Moreover, I estimate that his target is the disciples of the seven major sects of the Blue Dragon Continent. Although most of the immortal cultivation sects had Lu Ning Dan, only the seven major sects could take out many grains at once and give them to their disciples to use. After the news of Lingbao's birth came out, each sect sent several disciples to hunt for treasures, where could the small sect be willing to give each disciple a Lu Ning Dan?"

Han Mingfei said: "This is reasonable. In this way, the so-called 'Spiritual Qi Movement' may also be deliberately caused by man to induce the disciples of my Seven Great Sects to come and look for the spiritual treasure. ”

Tianyao continued to analyze: "Secondly, it is the mysterious woman. If my first inference is correct, if there really is someone who wants to disadvantage my disciples of the Seven Great Sects, then the mysterious woman who dissuaded us from leaving should have good intentions, although her methods were a little strange. However, another question arises, why did she instruct the chasing leopard to harm us? If it weren't for the timely appearance of the four senior brothers, we would probably not have escaped. ”

"If the woman had good intentions, think of it this way: she doesn't intend to let the Chasing Leopard hurt you, but wants to use it to scare you out of the swamp. If so, even if we hadn't shown up at that time, I believe you wouldn't have had to worry about your lives. Wang Ruobin said.

Tianyao said: "I have also thought about this. But there are still things that don't make sense. Since the woman was only instructing the Chasing Leopard to scare away the immortal cultivators, where did those broken corpse pieces come from? The wounds on the corpse parts were undoubtedly caused by the wild beasts in the recent past. But in the Green Cloud Swamp, except for chasing the wind and cloud leopard, I haven't seen any other beasts. ”

Song Xihang said: "According to Senior Brother He's speculation, only the immortal cultivators of the seven major sects can enter the miasma zone, and I remember that those broken corpses are in the miasma range, that is to say, the dead are all immortal cultivators of the major sects. This contradicts the second inference, why did that woman condone Chasing Storm Cloud Leopard to harm those immortal cultivators, instead of forcing them to leave?"

Tian Xiao shook his head and said, "The statement that 'only the disciples of the seven major sects can enter the miasma zone' is not absolute, and it does not completely rule out the possibility that other small and medium-sized sect disciples also have the Lu Ning Pill, or that there are other pills that can also resist the poison of the miasma. In addition, although the fragments are in the miasma area, it does not mean that those people died there, and it is possible that they were killed first and then moved there. In this way, it is impossible to conclude that those people are immortal cultivators, and ordinary people may also be killed by chasing the cloud leopard elsewhere and dragged there. ”

Tianyao also agreed: "Indeed. There is also a problem, it stands to reason that after chasing the leopard to kill someone, if you want to eat it, you can eat it directly, and there is no need to break the corpse into pieces at all. So I think there may be someone else who killed and dismembered the body. ”

Everyone was silent, Tianyao's analysis was well-founded, but there were still a few doubts that could not be clarified. It seems that this treasure hunt in the swamp is not so simple. With all kinds of doubts, everyone fell into deep thought.
