The 421st Wan Qing Sect
A dark shadow staggered and landed beside Jing Mo, there was a pair of bare feet in the stream, and the rippling water light reflected on the feet, even more snow-white, and Jing Mo whispered without looking back: "The water is cold, freeze carefully." β
Qu Lian tightened her neckline, glanced at Jing Mo coldly, and laughed at herself: "I'm the ghost I look like now, I'm still afraid of freezing, I'm lucky to be alive." β
Jingmo held Qu Lian's hand, only to feel that she was trembling slightly, and said distressedly: "Qu Lian, we won't do it, let's go back, this errand is simply not done by people, even our lives are about to be lost, let's go back." β
Qu Lian lowered her head and looked at her pale face reflected in the water, and shook her head with a wry smile: "Jingmo, I can't go back, Juan Bai won't let me go like this, if I return empty-handed, King Lin won't let me go." β
Jingmo was stunned: "Entering is also death, retreating is also death, if not, it is better for us to choose a happy way to die." β
Qu Lian smiled coldly: "Why should I choose a dead end by myself, I don't, even if I suffer humiliation, even if my life is difficult, I have to live, and only by living can I have a chance to turn over." β
Jingmo looked at her in a daze as if he didn't know Qu Lian, and muttered, "You, what did you say." β
Qu Lian turned her head, the weakness between her eyebrows had long since disappeared, her eyes were resolute and vicious, and she smiled coldly: "I said, from now on, I will be the person of the cypress, I want to live, return to Qingzhou alive, and trample the people who humiliated me in the past." β
Jing Mo got up suddenly, stepped back again and again, and shook his head again and again: "Qu, Qu Lian, you, where do you put me by doing this." β
Qu Lian approached Jingmo: "You were greedy for life and afraid of death, and you gave me to Juan Bai, but now you want to blame me, where did you get the face." She stretched out her hand and pointed into the distance and laughed wildly: "Jingmo, if you can't stand it, you can go by yourself, you go, do you dare, dare." β
Jingmo looked at the deep night, looked at the treacherous mountain shadows and tree shadows, I don't know how many dangers are hidden in it, he suddenly became timid, saying that it is easy to die, but it is not so easy to really die, he struggled for a long time, yes, he didn't dare, he didn't dare to leave Qu Lian half a step, he was greedy for life and afraid of death, he was depressed, slumped on the ground, buried his head in his knees, and cried.
Qu Lian squatted beside Jingmo, stretched out her hand to take him into her arms, and gently coaxed: "Jingmo, bear with it, when we return to Qingzhou, all this can be forgotten." β
There was no word all night, and the next morning, the first rays of sunlight in the morning slanted into the mountains, and the green grass was like waves, emitting a little floating light.
Qu Lian put her hair in a bun, got out of the tent, and patted Jing Mo who was sleeping in the field: "Go get some water, the young master has washed up." β
Jingmo listened to the movement in the tent, and couldn't sleep all night, until the sky was twilight, he took a nap, and was suddenly woken up by Qu Lian, he rubbed his eyes, and said in a trance: "What." β
Qu Lian's face was slightly red, like a little peach blossom, she lowered her body and said with a smile: "Go fetch water, the young master has washed up." β
Jingmo reacted at this time, got up in a hurry, took a water bag, filled it by the stream, and handed it to Qu Lian.
Qu Lian turned around and entered the tent, and then there was a burst of soft and glutinous low laughter, which made Jingmo ashamed, and he hurriedly staggered out of the mountain, running very far.
I don't know how long it took, the sound of packing up came from the mountains, and after a while, Qu Lian rushed to Jingmo's side, as if nothing had happened, and said calmly: "Let's go, the young master said that he should rush to the area where the Demon Palace is located earlier and set up the formation in advance." β
Jingmo nodded, unable to find any words to break the embarrassment.
The speed of the group was extremely fast, and the road did not encounter the same danger as yesterday, and in the evening they walked out of one mountain and entered another.
Jingmo looked at the mountain and sighed, stood with his arms crossed, and said the first sentence of the day to Qu Lian: "Qu Lian, what kind of place is this, why are we always spinning in the mountains." β
Qu Lian shook her head: "I don't know either, but the young master must know that it's always right to follow him." β
Jingmo heard a different meaning from Qu Lian's words, women always advocate the strong, Qu Lian is not exempt from vulgarity, he looked sideways slightly, and said in surprise: "You, how can you treat him, it seems to be a little different." β
Qu Lian smiled calmly: "Since I have to rely on his protection, naturally I can't just act on the spot, I always have to have some true feelings to move people's hearts, and he is indeed much stronger than you, no matter the background or cultivation, it is enough for me to rely on, and if I want to serve him all day long, I am not as reluctant as before." β
Jingmo took a step back, as if he didn't know Qu Lian, and said dumbfounded: "You, don't you think he's ugly, don't you think he's disgusting." β
Qu Lian smiled: "He can save me, protect me, and help me achieve what I want, what else do I have to be satisfied with, as for beauty and ugliness," she raised her eyes and looked at Jingmo's jade-like face, smiling sarcastically and laughing at herself: "Jingmo, you have a good skin, what's the use, I used to think that good looks are the most important thing, but now I know how naΓ―ve I was at the beginning, and being good is the most useless." β
This sentence was heart-wrenching, Jingmo shook for a while, isn't he useless, he has a good skin, but he can't do anything, he suddenly became physically and mentally exhausted, and said: "Let's go." β
Qu Lian raised a string of light and agile laughter, followed behind Curly Bai, and gradually moved away.
This mountain is a little different from yesterday's one, in the silence of the mountain, the giant tree is green and soars into the sky, but on the straight trunk, there is a shriveled corpse, Jingmo just saw it, he screamed in fright, jumped to the side, and hit the corpse on the trunk of another tree.
When the disciples of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect saw him like this, they all laughed out loud in disdain.
Jing Mo's face turned red, and he didn't dare to scream or run anymore, so he had to endure the fear in his heart, follow behind everyone, and walk cautiously.
These corpses were hung extremely high, and the sunset fell on them, and their faces were vivid, as if they had just died.
But the strange thing is that the skin and flesh of these corpses have shrivelled into a thin membrane, wrapping the bones, fluttering in the evening breeze, and the verdant green is reflected on the corpses, which looks very terrifying.
"There are really a lot of immortal cultivators buried here. Curly Bai looked at it as he walked, and said with great interest: "I just don't know what took their lives." β
Renqi took a few steps back in understanding, instructed his disciples to be more careful, and then pinched a trick, and held a small banner in his hand.
He flicked left and right, and a mist rose from the small banner and swept away at the corpses hanging high above the tree trunks.
The corpse shook slightly, and then landed in front of Renqi.
He pinched it, and the small banner wrapped around the corpse, and the flames on it were blazing.
In a short time, the corpse was burned to ashes, and a blue light burst out of the ashes, and the speed was extremely fast, and it was about to shoot into the distance.
Renqi's eyes were quick, and he grabbed Lan Mang into his hand.
Lan Mang writhed a few times spiritually, and when he saw that he couldn't break free from the confinement of the big hand, he let out a wail, and the brilliance was gone, turning into a small swastika pattern.
Renqi looked at it carefully, his expression changed slightly, he walked quickly to Juan Bai's side, and said in a low voice: "Young Master, it is the practice of Wanqing Sect." β
Juan Bai's figure was stunned, and he said in surprise: "Wanqing Sect, how could such a sect that has always been pure-hearted and has few desires kill so many immortal cultivators, Renqi, you are not mistaken." β
Renqi nodded his head: "That's right, the subordinates will never be mistaken." β
Juan Bai pondered for a moment: "This time, the head of the Bujiao sect is also here, his cultivation is unfathomable, be careful, and tell the disciples to act cautiously and not be careless." β
ββββββββββββ
In this treasure land, there are many long-abandoned cities, empty, and after the disciples of various sects entered this place, they occupied the houses in the city that were still intact for temporary rest.
Outside a city near the northern end of the treasure land, the city wall dozens of feet high reaches into the sky, and the wall bricks are somewhat mottled and weathered, revealing traces of erosion over time.
The cast-iron gates smashed to the ground, and they were covered with the marks of mana attacks, and it was clear that the city had suffered a great battle in ancient times.
Walking on the wide road in the city, the houses on both sides collapsed, a ruin, and the barren grass grew a few people high, covering the corners of the collapsed houses luxuriantly.
There was a dead silence in the city, and there was no sound of people, and when I walked in it, a chill hit me, which made people can't help but get goosebumps.
The group walked into the city at a very fast speed, all of them were dressed in light gray robes, carrying a yellow jacket on their shoulders, wearing light gray cloth hats, and under the round hats were bare scalps, without any hair.
At the head was a long-haired old man, with a thin wrinkled face, and a string of rosaries around his neck, each carved into the shape of a skeleton, and he looked around as he twisted the rosary.
In the westward slope of the sun, a thin layer of sunlight fell in the city, and the light dust on the ruins swirled in the sunlight, adding a bit of bleakness.
It was dark very fast in this treasure place, and the sunset dissipated in an instant, and the twilight swept by, and the sky was dark all at once.
No one chooses to rush in the middle of the night, just because of the weirdness, it is said that there will be invisible ghosts that take people's lives at night, even if they are immortal cultivators, in the face of hundreds of such ghosts, it is difficult to parry.
The long-haired old man looked up at the end of the road, the courtyard of the deep mansion that was still intact, and said calmly: "Tell the disciple to speed up and go there for the night." β
The group of people suddenly hurried up, these men were very well-behaved, two people in a row, there was no confusion between the walks, and no one spoke, only the clothes were fluttering in the evening breeze, and only the rustle of action could be heard.
After only a moment's effort, the group rushed to the outside of the house, although from a distance, the house was still in good condition, but when they looked closer, they found that the walls of the courtyard were full of traces of fire, and the courtyard gate had long since disappeared.
