City gates.

The crowd passed by in a bustling manner, but saw two carriages parked aside, and the horses still neighed from time to time, which suddenly became even more noisy.

In the process, a middle-aged man who looked like a horse breeder reached out and touched the horse's neck, and the horse immediately quieted down.

"I'm really bothering you. Bai Junqian on the side said to the middle-aged man.

"Nothing, nothing. You've just bought these two carriages, and I don't have to help you bring them here." The middle-aged man said with a smile on his face, and then turned to leave.

"Thank you. Bai Junqian smiled and said goodbye to the middle-aged man.

Then I saw that after the middle-aged man waved his hand, his figure quickly disappeared into the lively crowd.

The carriage was plain, with its hollowed-out windows covered by a brown cloth, but with the wind chimes wafting in the wind, it had a special taste.

"Master, why did we go back with Edgeworth?" Lingxi asked.

"When Shun and Xin Yujian are asked, it will be a little reluctant to bring one person. And this Mid-Autumn Festival everyone is tired, so it's not bad to go back while looking at the scenery along the road. ”

"Oh. As Lingxi responded, she heard a birdsong pass very close above her head. So she wanted to get up slightly, but found that the sky was so blue at the moment, and the clouds were slowly changing the direction of the sun, and those past times were constantly invading her heart.

- went back.

For a moment, Lingxi also looked back at Leling City, and it was still a happy scene.

Although Shangguan Beiling said that his sect would completely eliminate this demon cultivator, she always felt in her heart that it would not be so easy to completely eliminate it, at least even if it was cleared now, but who knew where it would start again?

How many people's desires and interests are mixed in it, who can say clearly?

"What's the fuss? The letter suddenly knocked Lingxi's head, and then saw that she hadn't fully reacted, so he made up again.

"You're just itching!" Lingxi shouted, and then asked Late Autumn to let go of her and fight back.

It's a pity that I was dodged, and then the two of you chased after me.

"These two people really can't be idle for a while. Bai Junqian sighed a little.

"I also want to have a good relationship with my sister. "Suddenly, I don't know where it sounded like a mosquito.

"......" Bai Junqian turned his head and saw the person who was Shun..... There is also the late autumn that can't speak.

The sentence just now must have been said by Shun.

This made Bai Junqian a little unbearable, thinking that he had several apprentices, and they really had their own temperaments.

.......

After a long time, they got into the carriage, and the carriage began to gradually move away from the city of Naleling.

The scenery along the way began to unfold in front of their eyes without leaving any room for it, and in the distance, strange mountains stood tall, mountains were continuous, verdant and steep, and clouds covered the mist. Nearby, some withered greens rippled in the wind, and autumn wildflowers bloomed like tea..... From time to time, there are passers-by who intersect with them.

"Lingxi, did you just wander in the hands of all kinds of demon cultivators in the past?" Bai Junqian, who was sitting on the side and riding a horse with the reins, suddenly asked.

"Yes!?" Lingxi replied, but what she thought in her heart was why the master asked that, didn't she already tell him before?

——Bai Junqian's heart finally had doubts about Lingxi.

"Master, is there anyone in front?"

"Huh?" With the shout of the letter, Bai Junqian quickly reacted and saw a shadow in the distance.

As we got closer, the blurred shadow in the distance gradually took on an outline, and soon turned into a clear shape, which was—

"Help, help?"

The shadow stood in the middle of the road, waving his hands and shouting.

After a moment, the shadow finally became clear, an old man, looking ragged, with a smooth wooden staff in his hand.

"Oh, that's great, I've finally met someone who is willing to stop the carriage, you are all kind people. ”

As if to greet Bai Junqian who stopped the carriage, the old man rubbed his hands and said with a smile.

"Old man, what are you doing alone in this panicked place?"

"I'm just a wanderer, and I don't have any water to drink, so I just want to ask for some water. As he spoke, Lingxi began to look at the old man, skinny and unkempt hair, but his face was not dirty, and his facial features were clearly recognizable, but those special gray eyes should not be said to be blind, after all, there was still emotion in them.

"Then I'll give you a jug of water. After a moment, Shun took out a jug of water from the carriage and handed it to the old man.

"But old man, this radius of hundreds of miles is uninhabited, and I advise you not to go any further. Bai Jun said.

"Haha, the old man knows. The old man said with a smile.

"Well, old man, we'll go first. With that, Bai Junqian prepared to drive away.

However, the old man stood in his way, and remained unmoved, even though the horse was right in front of him, and was about to step towards him.

"Phew. This made Bai Junqian, who was driving the carriage, quickly stop the carriage.

For a while, smoke and dust were everywhere, the horses were pacing in place, neighing, and the old man's face was solemn, and his eyes showed a tragic and resolute look, "Look at your extraordinary bearing, how many of you are immortal cultivators?"

“...... Be. Bai Junqian replied while controlling the somewhat frightened horses, and Lingxi's face was miserable as the carriage swayed.

"That old man will give you something. The old man said as he took out a crystal clear ring from his bosom, which looked natural in the reflection of the sunlight.

"What is this?" asked Bai Junqian with a squint.

"A spiritual creature that can save life at a critical moment. For the sake of the water that you are willing to give to the old decayed to drink, I will give it to you. The old man said with a smug smile.

When Bai Junqian heard this, he naturally had some guesses in his heart, and said for a moment: "No need. The old man can just keep it."

"Don't be afraid, although the old man doesn't know what the use of this spiritual object is, after all, this spiritual object was given to me by the immortals, but it's a pity that I have no talent in cultivating immortals, and after practicing for decades, it is only a realm in the early stage of Jindan. Now that the old decay has seen it, he has decided to travel the world for the rest of the time. The spiritual object given by this immortal is probably going to be scrapped in old age, so it is better to give it to you. ”

Finally, the old man said directly that the ring was placed on the carriage, "Do you want to leave it with you, just throw it away, the old man just doesn't want to waste this good thing." ”

"Oops. Xin wanted to call out to the old man, but he heard the old man shouting to the clear sky: The world is vast, and there is no place to go. Alone

, where can not be followed.

When Lingxi heard this, he felt that this old man had come to his senses.

And Xin and Shun on the side were also dumbfounded, staring fixedly at the old man's distant back, it seemed that they also felt the same.

- Only Bai Junqian frowned.
