Chapter 23 The Cold Mountain

The two walked slowly, Qin Luo observed the surroundings, and saw that there were weeds growing under the roots of the trees on the left hand, with a peculiar appearance, and then walked for a stick of incense, she observed again, and saw the weeds again, and felt that something was not right.

"This is the same as when we first came in, the position and shape of the weeds have not changed at all, Mo Chen, are we lost?"

"We're already in the formation. Mo Chen said calmly.

"I don't know much about the formation, so I'm afraid I won't be able to help this time. “

Mo Chen recalled that when he was a child, Qin Luo was too young at that time, and Uncle Qin Yan originally planned to teach some swordsmanship first, and then teach formation techniques when he was a few years older, but the world was unpredictable...

"Rest assured, it's been 10 years, and the appearance of the land has changed a bit. The power of the formation is slowly fading, and you can walk out of it by following me, this formation cannot rely on eyes alone, but on feeling. “

Mo Chen spoke carefully, and at this time, the two noticed the movement and hid to their respective sides.

"We've been here for a long time, can we get out?" Sun Yingqian was exhausted, holding on to the roots.

"Who knew this forest was so strange. When he saw the tree beside him, he seemed to be familiar with it, and said helplessly, "We seem to be back again." “

"No, we won't die here, it's so gloomy here. “

"Sure enough, listening to you will definitely not end well. “

"Listen to me, you came with me voluntarily. “

For a while, the two of them had their stomachs "gurgling".

"I'm so hungry..."Sun Yingqian clutched her stomach and bent over.

"Don't waste your energy on bickering, let's go. “

"Still leaving... I'm so scared that something dirty will come out. “

"Don't crow's mouth. “

The two of them endured hunger and walked forward with difficulty. In an instant, a blue light flashed, and the blade of the sword was close to Situ Hao's neck, and he was so frightened that he couldn't move.

"Spare your life!"

"Ahh

Can't see me, can't see me, can't see me...

"Didn't I tell you not to come with me!"

When Situ Hao came back to his senses, he recognized that it was Mo Chen's voice, and immediately explained, "Mo Shao, don't be angry, we just... It's just...."

I haven't made up this lie yet!

Situ Hao hinted to Sun Yingqian in the rear.

Sun Yingqian reacted and immediately got up and agreed, "I said we were passing by, do you believe it?"

Oh my God! When she was arguing with someone, this Sun Yingqian's mouth was not very powerful, why did she act like this now!

Situ Hao pressed his temples, and he had a headache.

Mo Chen put away his sword and reprimanded the two like children.

"Did you know that if you don't touch us, you might die here!

Situ Hao and Sun Yingqian were obediently trained there, bowing their heads and repenting, putting on a pitiful look.

Qin Luo came over and persuaded, "Forget it, they are all here, there is no way back." “

Mo Chen held his forehead to relieve his anxiety just now, "Hey, that's it." “

Fortunately, Mo Shao listened to Qin Luo's words very much, otherwise the two of us would definitely be trained for a few tea times.

The two who were scolded looked at Qin Luo, as if they were seeing a savior, and kept looking up.

"Alright, now you have to listen to me. Mo Chen took out a thin rope from his cuff, "Now use this rope to tie each of us to the wrist, close your eyes, and I will take the rope to take you out of this formation." “

The group did what Mo Chen said, and the order was Mo Chen, Qin Luo, Sun Yingqian, and Situ Hao.

"Close your eyes and open them again if necessary. “

Sun Yingqian and Situ Hao became extremely obedient, and even spoke in a low drizzle, Qin Luo was a little uneasy and didn't dare to close his eyes.

Mo Chen grabbed her hand, "Luo'er, I'll hold you, we'll be fine, believe me." His hand increased slightly, hoping to reassure Qin Luo.

She nodded, closed her eyes, and Mo Chen also closed her eyes and walked towards the fog ahead.

In the depths of the cold mountain, some groups of people gathered, about eighty people. They were dressed like ordinary people, and the men stood guard with their weapons.

"Elder Xun, according to your orders, the old and young women have been transferred to other places, and the rest of the men are guarding every place in the village, taking turns to stand guard. “

"Okay, let's be vigilant and prevent outsiders from intruding. “

"Yes. “

"There's an invasion!!"

Elder Xun and Haomu heard someone shouting, and their faces were frightened. Haomu immediately pulled out his sword and rushed towards the sound source, "Brothers!!"

Everyone in the village picked up their weapons and rushed somewhere, surrounding the four outsiders.

As soon as Qin Luo heard that there was a change, he immediately opened his eyes, pulled out the Soul Breaking Sword, and swung his sword at those who rushed towards him, and a group of people were forced back by the red sword qi.

Mo Chen also opened his eyes instantly, grabbed Qin Luo, and said anxiously, "Wait." He looked around carefully, "They are disciples of the Qiuye Sect. “

Everyone looked at each other in amazement.

"He actually knows that we are the Akiba Sect, what is the origin of this kid. “

"If this person actually knows our identity, then he can't stay!"

"Kill!"

"Wait!" a voice said, and the group looked back.

"It's Elder Xun. “

They made way for them, and Elder Xun walked towards Mo Chen, what attracted him was the red sword qi just now, and when he saw the sword in the hand of the woman in white, he was shocked, "This is the Soul Breaking Sword!"

"What?"

"Soul Breaker?"

Elder Xun strode forward, emotional, "Has this Soul Breaking Sword returned to its original form?"

Mo Chen said respectfully on the side, "Elder Xun, in Xia Mochen, my father told me that there was a problem in the cold mountain, so I rushed to help. “

"Mo Chen?" Elder Xun showed an incredulous expression, "Ten years have passed, and you... You're so big I almost didn't recognize you. He looked sideways at the woman beside Mo Chen, "Who is this?"

"She is Qin Luo, the daughter of Qin Yan. “

Qin Luo withdrew his sword, and then said respectfully, "In Xia Qin Luo, I have seen Elder Xun. “

Elder Xun's eyes suddenly moistened, "You are... You are... It's great that you're still alive, Qin Yan and his wife can finally rest in peace. “

"Elder Xun..."Mo Chen saw him in tears, and he didn't know what to say.

"Mo Chen, you can be regarded as finding her, otherwise I won't be able to face Qin Yan after I die. Elder Xun's face was full of tears, and he wanted to kneel down to thank him, and he was able to find the benefactor's daughter, which was unforgettable.

Mo Chen immediately helped, "Elder Xun, you don't have to be like this, the top priority now is to protect the remaining disciples of the Qiu Ye Sect." “

"Yes, yes. Elder Xun nodded and told Mo Chen how he found the elephant that outsiders were preparing to invade.

Behind them, Sun Yingqian and Situ Hao kept their eyes closed, and they exchanged heads and ears with each other.

"There seem to be people around. Sun Yingqian noticed the movement.

"Well, it sounds like a lot of people have gathered. “

"Shall we open our eyes?"

"You didn't listen to Mo Shao just now, he said that you can only open your eyes. “

"But I just heard about the Autumn Industry Sect, and it wasn't ten years ago that it was wiped out. “

"I heard it too!"

"It's not like I met the spirit of the Autumn Industry Sect. Sun Yingqian shuddered.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Qin Luo was curious as he heard them muttering to each other.

"Ahh

The two of them were startled by Qin Luo's sudden voice, but they kept their eyes closed and didn't dare to open them.

"Qin Luo, do you want to scare us to death?" Sun Yingqian buried her grievances.

"Why are you still keeping your eyes closed?"

Mo Shao said that he could only open his eyes. "Situ Hao rarely speaks seriously.

"Well, I see. Qin Luo nodded, and went to Mo Chen.

Elder Xun wanted to take this opportunity to entertain everyone, so he invited Mo Chen and his party back to the house to talk in detail. Mo Chen turned around and said hello to Qin Luo, and happened to see the two of them, "What are the two of them doing?"

Qin Luo sighed, "Presumably, your reprimand just now made them extremely obedient, saying that they must listen to you and open your eyes again." “

Mo Chen took a deep breath, he really convinced the two of them, "You can open your eyes." “

"Mo Shao said that he opened his eyes!" Situ Hao was excited, and the two of them immediately opened their eyes.

When he saw that there were so many people around, he panicked, "There are so many people living in this forest. “

Sun Yingqian was also frightened, but when she saw Qin Luo and Mo Chen going elsewhere, she immediately followed. The people here are not familiar with the place, and they must follow Qin Luo closely.

Situ Hao reacted at this time and shouted into the distance, "You wait for me." “

In the cold mountain forest, the fog was heavy, and two figures faintly appeared. One is a woman in black whose name is unknown, and the other is He Ye.

He Ye touched the root of the tree beside him, "We have arrived." The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he said sideways, "With this as the middle palace, you can break this formation by cutting down the trees in the direction of Kun, Xun, Qian, and Gen." “

"Yes. “

The woman in black received the order, first flew in the southwest direction, pulled out her sword in the middle, and slashed hard with both hands of the sword. A clean sword mark appeared at the base of the tree, and the tree staggered and fell, sending a gust of wind to blow away small patches of mist. The woman's hair and clothes were blown up, revealing her calm and sharp eyes.

In the thatched house, after Mo Chen finished telling the process of how to find Qin Luo, Elder Xun said with a sad face at this time.

"It's all to blame for my negligence at the time and letting Zhu Pei escape, I didn't expect him to be so ruthless, causing a big disaster, killing Qin Yan and his wife, and causing their only child to be kidnapped by the wicked, and almost fighting against his best friend, I really hate myself!"

"Elder Xun, don't blame yourself anymore, the matter is over. Mo Chen comforted him.

Qin Luo sat beside him without saying a word, she didn't know how to deal with this scene, and the elder in front of her regretted the indecision of that day.

But what's the use of regretting it, her parents are no longer there, and her ten years of hellish torment have been engraved in her heart, and nothing can be changed.

She now has only two options, either die and all her past turns to dust, or live, and face everything she doesn't want to face, but apparently she chooses the latter because she still has people she wants to protect.

"Situ Hao, do you understand, what are they talking about?" Sun Yingqian asked quietly.

"I'm confused, too, but don't interject, I've always had a feeling. Situ Hao patted his chest.

"What does it feel?"

"It's always uneasy, don't you?"

"Nervous? “

"Hey, you have a big heart. “

"Oh no! here's what's going on!!"

There was a constant noise outside, and Qin Luo Mochen immediately got up and went out to check.

Situ Hao looked at the outside environment from afar and panicked, "What's the matter, how has this forest changed?"

Sun Yingqian looked around, pointed to one place and shouted, "Why are there no trees there?"

"This was originally a valley in the Cold Mountain, and it was protected by Qin Yan's formation. “

"Then what's the situation now?" Situ Hao's uneasy mood intensified again.

"The formation was broken. Mo Chen's expression seemed to be flat, but he clenched the Sword of Painting Yuan hard, "Situ Hao, send Miss Ying Qian and Elder Xun to a safe place and protect them." “

"Good!"

Mo Chen looked to the side, "Luo'er..."

Qin Luo knew what he was going to say, and said calmly, "I will defend against foreign enemies with you." “

Elder Xun hurriedly grabbed Qin Luo's arm and said anxiously, "When Qin Yan made that kind of decision, I expected that there would be such a day. Miss Qin can't put herself in danger for us! If there is a mistake, how can we still have the face to face Qin Yan and his wife under Jiuquan!"

Qin Luo looked at him, begging in every possible way not to fight, she settled down and showed a firm look.

"When my father protected you for a while, I have a responsibility to protect you for a lifetime. “

When the words fell, she tore off Elder Xun's hand and went to the side with Mo Chen.

Mo Chen and Qin Luo came to a flat land, where there were no woods, so as soon as the formation was broken, this place became a flaw. If the enemy wants to attack, only this terrain is advantageous to them.

Qin Luo pulled out the Soul Breaking Sword, this sword slowly came out of its sheath, and the exposed sword body ignited with red sword qi, she turned the hilt of the sword, and the sword body instantly turned into a chain blade, throwing it to both sides. The two large trees that were on both sides of the place were cut down and fell in front of the people of the Autumn Sect who were preparing to fight.

"Stay there and don't move. “

"How could we let you two fight for this!"

Mo Chen tilted his head sideways and said again, "With me, I won't let outsiders hurt you half a point." “

Gradually, clouds of black mist appeared opposite them, and the black mist changed from single to many, and soon to a group, into a row.

The black mist slowly approached the two, and they walked forward as if they were in full armor and holding blades.

And the people in the rear suddenly shouted, "Look at their eyes!"

The figures in those black mist, their eyes were shrouded in blue lotus-colored smoke, the most peculiar thing was that these people had no flesh, and it was this black mist that drove this armor forward...
