Chapter 49: Childhood sweethearts

The ancient mountain range, under the steep peaks and mountains, there is a red mangrove forest growing.

These trees, the poles are towering, unusually thick, and the whole body is full of red color, and the leaves on the canopy are also extremely red, as if they have been burned and ignited by the fireworks.

This kind of ancient tree, the name: Red Fire Demon, is like its name, it looks like a flame demon, terrifying.

Outside the Red Fire Demon Forest, there is a low-lying valley site, which is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with high peaks and crushing peaks, accompanied by streams of light green mist floating in it, which looks extremely wonderful and treacherous.

In the mist, there are pieces of dead wood and decaying plants, weeds and poisonous water, only a dozen figures appear, and the first person, wearing a goose feather coat, walks in front of everyone.

These people are the disciples of the Xuanbing Sect who participated in the big competition, and the temperature here has plummeted, and now it is as low as the cold, so in order to keep out the cold, these people's clothes tend to keep warm.

Although cultivators are not afraid of small frost and frost, if they resist the cold at all times, they will inevitably lose some of their qi, and the gains outweigh the losses, so almost most of the disciples of the various sects who come here to participate in the big competition are wrapped in coats to keep out the cold.

There are as many as fifteen of these disciples of the Xuanbing Sect, all of whom are Tianjiao figures in the younger generation of the whole sect, each with strong strength and buried means, which should not be underestimated.

Among them, Gu Nianqing also gathered together and followed them to the final destination of the Dongyan Mountain Range.

There is only one rule for this big competition, that is, whoever crosses the Dongyan Mountain Range first and reaches the peak of the sky will be able to win the crown and become the first person in this year's Daomen disciple competition.

Such rules are easy to say, but they are full of dangers and disasters. Thinking that this Dongyan Mountain Range traverses between the Tang Dynasty and Beirong, in it, the opponents of those disciples who participated in the Great Competition are not only the poisonous insects and beasts in the mountain range, but also the people of the northern nomadic empire, Beirong.

Since ancient times, the Dongyan Mountains have been a natural barrier between the Tang Dynasty and the Beirong, although the two countries have been in the peaceful stage for many years, but they have also secretly fought for a long time, the Beirong barbarians often enter the territory of the Tang Dynasty through the Dongyan Mountain Range, dealing with the ordinary people on the border of the Tang Dynasty, burning, killing and looting all kinds of evil, so between the two empires, it has long been a great enmity, reaching the point of not dying.

If I meet those Beirong barbarians in this Dongyan Mountain Range, it will naturally be a situation where I live or you die.

The spring breeze is not green.

This swamp is full of poisonous gas, and if you accidentally set foot in it, it will poison your body and damage the inner heavens. On Gu Nianqing's side, there was a woman wearing a lily-colored dress, standing on a slightly dry weed, looking at the surrounding situation with bright eyes, her eyebrows suddenly wrinkled slightly, and she was a little annoyed.

And now she was very unlucky, she happened to be wearing a long skirt, and if she had passed through this place, she would have been stained with many disgusting things.

"Senior sister, how's it going?"

Gu Nianqing sensed that the beauty behind her suddenly stopped, and couldn't help but look back, but saw her standing there, her expression was a little annoyed.

"This is the Poison Gas Valley, due to the perennial moisture erosion, such a swamp has accumulated, as long as you pass through it, there will be the nearest way to reach the Red Fire Demon Forest, you should be patient first, after here, the rest of the road will be much easier!"

Gu Nianqing knew that her daughter's house liked to be clean and not stained with dust, so when she saw her expression, she also knew it, and immediately smiled.

That woman is the daughter who took the initiative to talk to Jiang Fan before, her name is Gong Xun, although her family background is low, she and Gu Nianqing happen to be childhood sweethearts, and the two have no guesses.

"To put it lightly, even after this place, I don't have a clean place here!"

Gong Xun has bright eyes, looking forward to Liuhui, seeing Gu Nianqing's funny appearance, he can't help but have a cute white eye, and he is very annoyed.

Seeing her so cute, where else could Gu Nianqing say anything, he had already been interested in the goddess, how could he be angry with her now?

"Or ...... You're lying on my back, and I'm here to cross this gas valley for you?"

The young man's eyes lit up, and he looked at her with some excitement and joy.

But with these words, Gu Nianqing led the palace to look for a playful and cute white eye to take care of, but now there is no other way, only in this way.

In desperation, Gong Xun had to nod.

After getting her approval, Gu Nianqing was overjoyed in her heart, and immediately held back her excitement, and hurriedly walked in front of her and bowed with her back to her.

Seeing this, although Gong Xun was mentally prepared, he was still shy, his pink lips bit lightly, and then he took a deep breath, and then fell on his broad back with shyness.

Feeling a gentle pressure on the back, the tip of Gu Nianqing's nose was fragrant and pleasant, and he didn't feel a little messy in his heart, at this moment, he was so happy!

"You have to walk well, if you drop me in this mud, I won't spare you!"

Seeing that his steps were frivolous and trembling a little, Gong Xun couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly reminded in a coquettish voice, and for a while, he even forgot his shame.

Hearing this, Gu Nianqing hurriedly put away his mind, stabilized his footwork, and followed towards the people who had already walked away in front of him.

"Earlier, you said that Jiang Fan wanted to form an alliance with you, but why haven't you seen him until now?"

The daughter on her back suddenly asked.

During this time, she was recuperating from her injuries, so she still didn't know anything about what happened to Jiang Fan in the Xuanbing Sect Mountain Gate a few days ago.

It's just that when she suddenly thought of that handsome young man, a strange feeling was born, which made her a little flustered.

The kid looked at her without a sense of amazement at all, and I don't know if I was not charming enough, or if he was pretending to be crazy and stupid!

Gong Xun hummed softly in his heart, thinking a little resentfully.

Her appearance, even in the entire Tang Empire, is a top existence, but for some reason, that kid looks indifferent, which makes her doubt herself.

I don't know how many years, this is the first man to look at her like this.

At this moment, Gu Nianqing didn't know the chaotic thoughts in the heart of the beautiful woman on his body, but he saw that his eyes were fixed, and his expression was a little regretful.

"This time he offended the sect, and I don't know if he will come here to make an appointment!"

The young man sighed slightly, he would never have thought that this kid would have something to do with the sect's supreme treasure thunder sword, he was hunted down by the sect elders that day, and I heard that he still survived in the end, but today, he didn't dare to come here again!

It's a pity, Gu Nianqing originally wanted to introduce him to the elders of the sect and make him a disciple of the inner sect of the Xuanbing Sect, such a good talent is indeed rare, but now that he has missed the Xuanbing Sect, I don't know if it is the loss of the Xuanbing Sect, or his Jiang Fan's regret!

"How did he offend the sect? Could it be that something big happened before? Senior brother, come on!"

As soon as he heard that Jiang Fan had offended the Xuanbing Sect, for some reason, Gong Xun suddenly became a little worried, and immediately asked.

Seeing that she cared so much about this matter, Gu Nianqing didn't think much about it, so she told her all the things related to Jiang Fan that had happened in the past few days.
