The soul-wounding bird quietly landed in a dense bamboo forest at night, and after putting down the two people on its back, it flapped its wings and bowed slightly in mid-air, and left quietly.

It was a strange blue bamboo forest, and the bamboo leaves were also shining brightly, and the snow from the sky was falling down, and the whole ground was already white.

"Stygian Bamboo ......" Xiao Qianye recognized this rare bamboo that only grows in the Eastern Underworld at a glance, and hurriedly grabbed Yun Xiao to prevent her from touching it, and said vigilantly, "This thing is used to raise Stygian butterflies, you stay away." ”

"Butterfly, is that the kind of butterfly that Gongsun Yan has been using?" Yun Xiao asked curiously, and found that this blue bamboo really revealed a faint and evil aura, making the already cold air even more weird, Xiao Qianye nodded, carefully led her through the bamboo forest, and said, " It is said that when the cocoon has not yet been broken, its own blood will be dropped into the cocoon, and then sealed into this bamboo with a special technique, and then taken out after a year and then put into the Five Emperor Lake to wait for the cocoon to become a butterfly, the breeding of the butterfly takes a year and a half, but the life span is only a short month. ”

"It's so complicated. Yun Xiao couldn't help muttering, Xiao Qianye put his hand on her lips and motioned for her to whisper, and then lowered her voice to remind, "The terrain of the East Underworld is complex, mostly hills and water systems, the largest city is called Wanyou City, because it is built in a hollow, it often encounters natural disasters such as floods and mudslides, so the East Underworld people have set up a huge magic enchantment around Wanyou City, just like the water avoidance trick on the periphery of the end of the sky, even if there is a flash flood, the water cannot flood into the city, that enchantment is very conspicuous, you can see it soon." ”

Yun Xiao followed him closely, observing the terrain around him did not look like he was in a very remote wilderness, this piece of bamboo seemed to be taken care of by someone who had made a special trip to take care of the planting, Xiao Qianye also quickly noticed this problem, but he usually rode the Heavenly Expedition Bird to patrol directly from the air, it was still a little difficult for him to land quickly to find a way out, and he could only barely distinguish the direction of Wanyou City now, and try his best to find the bright light of the enchantment at night.

Before they could take a few steps, the Likong Sword suddenly trembled, and Xiao Qianye paused in surprise, turning his hand to look at the sword spirit in his hand.

"Huh......" Yun Xiao also hurriedly held the sword spirit and whispered in disbelief, "Resonance...... It's the resonance between the sword spirits!"

"Shhh

"Mine?" Yun Xiao's eyes widened, and she felt it seriously again, and a look of joy suddenly appeared on her face, "It's the resonance of the Qingmei Sword, at that time, I handed over the sword spirit to the Jade Girl in the Fine Snow Valley, why did she run to the East Hell......"

Xiao Qianye didn't say anything, the sword spirit in his hand deflected slightly, and there was a sound of small footsteps in the direction of the tip of the sword, one in front and one behind, one light and one heavy, it should be two people.

"Let's go. He protected Yun Xiao behind him, and opened the road in front of him, this bamboo forest was paved with neat brick and stone paths, all the way seemed to lead to people's homes, the two carefully bypassed a narrow bend, and their natural sharpness made Xiao Qianye unable to hold back and shoot directly, the empty sword light drew a sharp snow light, reflecting the surrounding night and showing pale, the person who came was obviously caught off guard by such a sudden attack, his strength was far less than Xiao Qianye, his whole body stumbled back a few big steps, and grabbed the bamboo beside him before he barely stood firm。

Taking a step further, Xiao Qianye vaguely noticed that this figure was somewhat familiar, and couldn't help but slow down the strength at hand, but still stared at the opposite side with a vigilant expression, after the person was repelled by his sword, he patted his chest with palpitations, and a petite woman was followed behind him.

"Wait......" Yun Xiao held his hand, ran forward, looked at the two of them, surprised and delighted, "Yuxu, Brother Huo Cang, why are you?"

"Yun Xiao!" Yu Xu was frightened by Xiao Qianye's sword, and even her legs were still shaking, this will see Yun Xiao who suddenly appeared, she forgot her fear for a while, and rushed up and hugged her shoulders and looked up and down several times, there were fine tears in her eyes, and she didn't know if she was scared or too happy to see her, and hurriedly asked, "It's really you! No wonder your sword spirit keeps calling, Brother Huo and I looked for the voice and wanted to come out to see, but I didn't expect it to be you!"

"Huo Cang!" Xiao Qianye also saw the man in front of him clearly, stepped forward to support him, his face sank suddenly, he let go of his hand in surprise and took a step back, Huo Cang looked a lot haggard than last time, his left arm was empty, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw himself, and complained, "You really didn't start lightly or heavily, if I hadn't noticed a step back in advance, I'm afraid my right hand wouldn't be able to keep it now......"

"You, why are you in the East Underworld?" Xiao Qianye was not in the mood to talk to him, Huo Cang tilted his head and stared at him, and found that his eyes had turned into a rare gold and silver color, although his face had not changed, and there was an indescribable strangeness, but he didn't say anything, just smiled faintly, and slowly pointed to the road he had come, and said, "This is the outskirts of Wanyou City, the house of technician Mei Tingxue, I came to ask her to help install a prosthetic." ”

Huo Cang dragged the jade catkins and introduced them to himself: "This is the jade catkins, when I was healing in Snow City, I happened to meet this girl running around with Kunlun's sword spirit, I was afraid that she would be seen and cause trouble, so I forcibly dragged her along." ”

Yuxu shook off Huo Cang angrily, but her cheeks couldn't help but flush, and she scolded unforgivingly: "Don't listen to him bragging, where does he know Technician Mei, and it is not because of my face that he agreed to put a prosthetic leg on him, but Technician Mei has recently been rumored to the imperial capital, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come back in a month or two, so let's wait for her in the bamboo house on the outskirts of Wanyou City first, and help her take care of the bamboo here by the way." ”

Yun Xiao looked at the two of them embarrassedly, and before she could ask anything, Yuxu had already taken her arm and walked back: "Don't pestle outside, what's the matter with you two, this will be all Feiyuan looking for you, why did you come here in the middle of the night?"

"Yes, Young Pavilion Master, what kind of trouble did you cause this time?" Huo Cang also remembered the other party's situation now, although he was chattering and complaining, the only remaining right hand had already grabbed Xiao Qianye's sleeve, seeing that he was hesitant, Huo Cang cleared his throat and stopped the jade catkins again, and said, "Young Pavilion Master, Miss Yun, you are all the ones who saved my life, if you are willing to trust me, you will go back to the bamboo house with me to rest for the night, if you don't believe me, then you go now, I will never expose your whereabouts." ”

Xiao Qianye frowned slightly, Huo Cang's face was calm, his eyes looked at him without blinking, and Yu Xu didn't dare to speak, although the emperor didn't have a wanted warrant for the whole territory, but the lord of the military pavilion in front of him was undoubtedly the person the emperor wanted to find the most now.

"Qianye ......" Yun Xiao pulled him, gently held his cold hand, and smiled slightly, "Let's go." ”

Xiao Qianye looked at her, and the vigilance in her heart was finally slowly relaxed, and several people walked forward along the bamboo forest, but after a while, they saw the small courtyard in front of them, which was also built with bamboo, which looked particularly chic. Trina

"Quick, come in, it's too cold outside. Yu Xu pushed open the door of the side room, quickly slipped into the smoke, rubbed his hands on the edge of the stove, took off his coat stained with snow droplets, and couldn't help but complain again, "I don't know what's wrong this year, it's snowing everywhere, it's very cold everywhere, not to mention Snow City and Garo, even Dongming, who hasn't seen snow particles for ten years, has been snowing for most of the time in a row, you guys also lean over to roast the fire, I'll get you some hot tea." ”

Huo Cang smiled and made a gesture of please, and then Yuxu's words continued: "This is a guest room, and we don't want to toss too much when the host is not at home, just a few small stools, don't dislike it." ”

"Yunxiao, you drink some hot tea first. Before the words fell, Yu Su had already served a cup of tea with her hands and feet, and tiptoed with a smile, Yun Xiao looked at her unexpectedly, a few months ago, she was still a little girl who was often trained by the Gu master, and in a blink of an eye, it seemed to be a completely different person, not only did her movements be clean and neat, but she also spoke and did things more calmly, Yu Su was idle for a while, and as if she remembered something, she hurriedly ran to Huo Cang and snatched the Qingmei Sword, held it in both hands and handed it to her, and thanked," After escaping from the fine snow valley that day, I really encountered a lot of ice corpses along the way, but fortunately, with this sword spirit, the ice corpses did not dare to approach us, and now it is time to return the things to their original owners, so collect them quickly. ”

Yun Xiao put down the tea, held her sword spirit again, and felt a lot of emotion in her heart, Yuxu put her hand on her forehead, her face gradually became a trace of doubt, and then she directly reached out and drilled into her clothes, and whispered: "The feathers on your body are gone...... The body temperature seems to be normal, hey, you, you, have you met some high-ranking person?"

Yun Xiao nodded, and it was not good to tell her about King Lie and Tired of Perland Island, so she could only smile awkwardly, Yuxu's eyes widened, her face was full of incredulity, Huo Cang coughed hard, and hurriedly came out to play a round: "Yuxu, you go next door to find a thick winter coat cloak for the two of you, it's cold this day, don't freeze." ”

"No, Kunlun has a cold heart method, and there is no need for thick clothes. Xiao Qianye moved a small bench and sat down by the fire, stopped the hurried jade catkins, and smiled, "Don't be busy, girl, it's ours to bother late at night." ”

"You, why are you so polite, besides, the cloak is not for you to keep warm!" Yu Xu glanced at him carefully, reprimanded him without confidence, and then looked at Huo Cang with a weak heart.

Huo Cang almost squirted out a mouthful of water, and quickly explained: "Yes, yes, yes, your face is too eye-catching, now I am looking for you everywhere outside, find a cloak for you to cover, it is convenient to go anywhere." ”

Xiao Qianye didn't reply, Yuxu stuck out her tongue, and she couldn't connect the polite young man in front of her with the vigorous and resolute military pavilion master in her impression.

"Ahem...... Huo Cang simply moved a small bench and sat opposite him, the two were silent for a while, and finally he couldn't help but break the silence first, and asked, "Where have you been in the past two months?" Do you know what happened to Feiyuan?"

Xiao Qianye shook his head, his eyes fixed on the stove, shining: "I originally wanted to go to Wanyou City to inquire first, after all, it is the largest city in the Eastern Underworld, and important notices must be pasted at each city gate." ”

"Oh...... That's what you're talking about. Huo Cang nodded, tilted his head and thought about it, and said in a low voice, "After the end of the Bipolar Meeting, the imperial capital issued an order to the whole territory, requiring the three armies to keep a close eye on you, once your whereabouts are discovered, you must directly report to the imperial capital, and for this reason, the archmage of the Star Sacrifice Palace came over to try to repair the Eye of the Sun God, but you can rest assured for the time being, that thing encountered trouble when it was repaired, and there has been no progress, as long as you yourself are not discovered by the three armies, there should be no big problem." ”

"Hmm. Xiao Qianye responded casually, suddenly raised his head, and his eyes flashed with anxiety, "Brother Huo, is there any news of my eldest brother in the imperial capital?"

"You said him. Huo Cang took a sip of water and calmed down, "I heard that he was confined in the Tianzheng Mansion, and there was a special person to take care of it, and no one was allowed to visit, so I don't know about the rest." ”

Xiao Qianye's hand tightened slightly, and finally it was still weak, without saying a word, Huo Cang was already full of questions, seeing that he had a sad face, and he didn't know how to ask again, so he had to quickly open the topic without words, and talked about his own affairs with a smile: " At that time, I was rescued back to Syracuse, and the doctor told me that my left hand was completely necrotic and could not be healed anymore, and they could only amputate my limb in order to save my life, and then I became disabled, and I was going to go to the imperial capital to find you to resign, but I didn't expect the injury to be healed, and the imperial capital had an accident again. ”

Huo Cang paused, and found that the other party was just listening indifferently, as if the affairs of the imperial capital had nothing to do with him, he sighed and touched his empty left hand, and continued: "Then I can only live in Snow City temporarily, and I happened to meet Miss Yuxu and Aunt Hong, they know Mei Tingxue, the technician of Dongming, and they are idle anyway, so they simply come over to try their luck and pretend to have a flexible prosthetic, which is better than being disabled all the time, right?"

"I'm sorry, it's me who is bad. Xiao Qianye answered silently, remembering the battle on the snowfield, he lowered his head in shame and didn't dare to look at him.

"What?" Huo Cang directly raised his hand and knocked the other party's head, pretending to scold harshly, "You saved my life, and I stabbed you, why did you apologize to me in turn?"

"Brother Huo, don't be like him, his mouth can make the dead angry. Yun Xiao leaned over with a smile, handed him a cup of hot tea, and said softly, "Let's warm up first." ”

Xiao Qianye took the tea and took a sip, his dry throat instantly became much more comfortable, and he couldn't help but take a few more sips.

"Slow down, there's more. Yun Xiao patted his back with his hand, Huo Cang glanced at the two of them, and then looked at the jade cat standing aside in a daze, and couldn't help muttering, "You learn from the Yun girl......"

Before the words fell, a pillow smashed on his face accurately, and the voice of the jade cat came one after another: "What do you learn, why don't you learn from him?"

"Heh......" Yun Xiao couldn't hold back her laughter, and even Xiao Qianye, who had been with a tightly locked face, finally showed a little smile.
