I couldn't see everything around me, I couldn't see the six-tailed white fox, I couldn't see the cylindrical glowing object, I couldn't see the tall back, I couldn't even see myself.

It was close at hand, feeling the Water Moon Sword that protected its master, but he couldn't see anything.

Is everything hallucination?

When Shui Lingyue woke up again, she was lying on the desert, beside her Granny Duan, who had passed out, as well as the unconscious orange cat girl and the little chubby bear bag.

She blinked her eyes and saw the Water Moon Sword in her hand, convinced that all this was true again, and not far from her was Chu Qing, who was also lying.

The sun was on the horizon, behind the rolling sand dunes, glowing with gold.

In the direction of Shui Lingyue's vision, on the empty land in the distance, there was a poplar growing abruptly, an ancient poplar, strong and unyielding, with golden branches and leaves.

Shui Lingyue sat up slowly, feeling that her upper body was not abnormal, obviously she had not been hurt in any way, she recalled it slightly, remembering the collapsed ground, the rocks like rain, the shiny glowing objects, the tall back, and naturally the last terrifying blow.

She stood up, walked over slowly, and helped Granny Duan, who was closest to her, first.

Granny Duan opened her eyes, saw that it was Shui Lingyue, looked at the sky above, and said lightly: "Ling'er, we... Where are we?"

Shui Lingyue said lightly: "We are in the desert. ”

Hearing this, Granny Duan straightened up, looked around, and also showed surprise in her eyes, when she saw Chu Qing lying in the distance, her face was nervous, and she said, "Qing'er......", before she finished speaking, she saw that Chu Qing had sat up by herself, but her expression was slightly stunned, she looked around, and immediately found the two of them, so she stood up at once, as if nothing had happened, and slowly walked over.

The orange cat girl also woke up, looked around, and also walked over, rubbing her head against Granny Duan's legs, as if to say that she was fine.

Only the little chubby bear bag, lying motionless on his back, as if he was not breathing.

Chu Qing saw it in her eyes, as if she was a little anxious, walked over quickly, squatted down, touched it with her hand, and woke up when the little fat bear bag woke up, and did not forget to yawn and stretch, it turned out that it was lying down comfortably and sleeping.

Chu Qing glanced at it and ignored it anymore. Instead, he came to Granny Duan's side.

Seeing that the other party was not harmed, the three of them relieved their hearts at the same time, but they didn't ask more, but looked around at the same time, and each silently recalled the terrifying scene that happened not long ago.

When Chu Qing's gaze fell on the poplar tree, she stood up in a daze, and walked over step by step with heavy steps.

Isn't this the ancient poplar that appears many times in his vision?

Horrified, in disbelief, she walked towards it, the illusions in her memory superimposed on reality, and she seemed to have walked into a dream.

At this moment she felt so close to herself, yet so far away.

She couldn't make a sound, even in her heart.

She seemed to be walking in a dream, and in front of her, the place where the ancient poplar tree had grown, was so familiar and strange, and she felt as if she had been there.

Behind them, Shui Lingyue and Granny Duan were left, they discovered Chu Qing's strange behavior, except for being a little stunned, but they didn't bother, but stood up at the same time, looking at her back vigilantly.

Just as Chu Qing was about to walk not far from the poplar plant, a majestic and old voice sounded: "You are back." ”

Chu Qing was stunned for a moment, and heard that the voice actually came from the poplar tree, and immediately stopped, stunned, and wondered: "Are you back?Who are you?Where are you?Why can't I see you?"

"Haha......"

A heroic laugh rang out, drifting away into the distance on such an empty desert.

At this time, Shui Lingyue and Granny Duan walked up at the same time, standing side by side beside Chu Qing, their eyes were a little surprised, and they also looked at the poplar tree vigilantly, obviously they also found that the sound was coming from the poplar tree.

Then I heard the "Poplar Tree" say: "Water Moon Sword, what, has the Water Moon Fairy passed away?" The voice was a little proud, and a little regretful.

The Water Moon Fairy is the master of the Water Moon Master, that is, the master of Granny Duan, and the ancestor of Shui Lingyue.

Shui Lingyue's eyebrows were solemn, and she put the Shui Yue Sword in front of her, and said clearly: "Who are you?

"Poplar Tree" laughed wildly again, and said coldly: "Little doll, you have good qualifications, but you are not worthy of interrogating the old man." ”

The other party was so arrogant, Shui Lingyue was stunned for a moment, and then heard the poplar tree let out a surprise: "Hey, the old woman next to you has been poisoned." ”

Shui Lingyue and Granny Duan were stunned for a moment and glanced at each other.

Hearing this, Chu Qing stepped forward and shouted, "Who are you? Why do you know about demon poison!"

Hearing this, the "Poplar Tree" was silent for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Hahahaha, you actually asked who I am? ”

The other party broke what everyone had been worried about all along, and Shui Lingyue and Granny Duan's bodies shook at the same time.

When Chu Qing heard this, her eyes lit up, and she said hurriedly: "Then do you know the way to crack it?"

"Poplar Tree" snorted and said, "What's so difficult about this, the finger wrapping on your wrist can restrain the demonic poison." ”

Chu Qing was taken aback, what he found out not long ago, the other party actually opened his mouth to break it, and he added a little trust in his heart, but immediately said: "This finger twisting soft can indeed restrain the demonic poison, but I want to cure my mother-in-law." ”

The "poplar tree" fell silent, no longer speaking, and a gust of wind blew, which made the branches and leaves of the poplar tree shake a few times, but other than that, there was no sound.

Chu Qing waited for a moment, a little anxious, and immediately asked, "Say, how can I cure my mother-in-law?"

"Poplar Tree" continued to be silent for a long time before he said, "Little girl, does the Water Moon Palace have anything to do with you?"

Although Chu Qing couldn't guess why the other party asked this question, by asking about the "Water Moon Fairy" at the beginning, he was even more faintly hostile to the Water Moon Palace, and after thinking about it, he blurted out: "The Water Moon Palace has nothing to do with me, but my mother-in-law is my savior, and I want to repay her." ”

"Poplar Tree" seemed to be a little surprised when he heard this, his voice lowered a little, and said, "I didn't expect that you were actually involved with Shuiyue Palace." He seemed to think for a while, and then said: "Okay, seeing that you are such a grateful person, the old man can tell you." ”

When Chu Qing heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and said in a hurry: "Say it quickly, say it quickly." ”

"Poplar" trembled slightly, and said with a smile: "Even if you say it, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to do it." ”

Its words, Granny Duan, who had been standing aside, knew that she knew the most about the demonic poison in her mouth, in fact, she knew it best in her heart, such a powerful demonic poison, the antidote was definitely very harsh, so her face also showed a gloomy color, and she didn't have any hope.

Shui Lingyue beside her was holding the Shui Yue Sword, her face was cold, there was no change, and a pair of beautiful eyes were just staring at the poplar tree in front of her, waiting for the following.

Chu Qing's face was unhappy, and she said angrily: "You ......", she wanted to say "old man", just because she could hear from the other party's voice that it was indeed an old man, but looking at the poplar tree with swaying branches and leaves, she suddenly changed her words: "You old tree, you haven't said it yet, how do you know that we can't do it! There is nothing in the world that I can't do! ”

When the "poplar tree" heard this, he said: "It's amazing, you have become so stubborn", and after speaking, he continued: "There is a giant demon far overseas, called the three-eyed sea snake demon, have you heard of it?"

When Chu Qing heard this, she immediately said impatiently: "I haven't heard of it, so what, if the detoxification is needed, I will help my mother-in-law catch it back." ”

"Poplar Tree" unconsciously let out another burst of laughter, and said, "Why are you so anxious, listen to the old man's words." ”

This time, Chu Qing didn't speak again, but blinked his eyes and continued to listen.

The "Poplar Tree" paused, as if it was also waiting for Chu Qing to speak, and seeing that it was silent, it continued: "The third eye of the three-eyed sea snake demon is really a kind of treasure, called the Flowing Wind Bead. ”

When Chu Qing heard this, she immediately said: "Flowing Wind Bead?" Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered that on the way to Intermittent Island, Feng Shuzhu exchanged a bead with Mei Shopkeeper in exchange for a ferry ticket, and the bead was called "Flowing Wind Bead".

"Poplar Tree" heard Chu Qing ask like this, and said: "Yes, it's called Liufeng Zhu." ”

Although he didn't know where to look for Shopkeeper Mei for a while, after all, he knew the whereabouts of the Flowing Wind Bead, and Chu Qing immediately said: "What, can I cure my mother-in-law's poison with the Flowing Wind Bead again?"

Listening to the "Poplar Tree" and said: "No, you have to cooperate with three treasures, in addition to the Flowing Wind Bead, and the finger wrapping softness in your hand, there is one last thing, which is the most difficult for people in your righteous path to obtain, that is, the treasure of the Western Regions Demon Sect, called the Star of Heaven." After obtaining these three things, the so-called three-point return to the element, can the demon poison be completely eliminated. ”

In the middle of its long words, no one interrupted, because including Chu Qing, everyone understood that in fact, among the three treasures, the most difficult thing to get was the "Heavenly Hell Star", how could the Demon Sect easily give up the treasure.

For a while, everyone was silent, and the poplar tree also didn't move, as if it was laughing at Chu Qing a little, as if to say: "What's the matter, you have nothing to say, even if you say it, you can't do it." ”

Chu Qing looked at the poplar tree, blinked his eyes, thought for a while, and suddenly said, "What, who are you? Why should I believe you?"

"Poplar Tree" let out a burst of wild laughter, and said, "No one has ever dared to speak to the old man like this, little girl, even if you don't believe it, do you have a choice? ”

Chu Qing turned her head to look, looked at Granny Duan and Shui Lingyue and said in a low voice, "I don't know if this old tree's words are credible or not." ”

Hearing this, Shui Lingyue didn't speak, and continued to look at the ancient poplar with an expressionless face, as if thinking about something.

Granny Duan thought for a moment and said lightly: "That flowing wind bead, Feng Shaoxia gave it to Shopkeeper Mei when he came back from Intermittent Island, this place is thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, not to mention how easy it is to find someone." It doesn't matter if the mother-in-law's injury is not cured, so as not to waste her strength. ”

After hearing this, Chu Qing frowned, and said hurriedly: "Why is my mother-in-law so discouraged, no matter how difficult it is, I will do it for you, since we know the way to crack it, let's not give up easily." ”

The conversation between the two was very quiet, but "Poplar Tree" obviously heard it, and said: "I can't imagine that the little girl is so persevering, and she really has a bit of an old man's temperament." ”

When Chu Qing heard this, she turned around and stuck out her tongue at the poplar tree, looked at her strangely, and said, "Whoever is like you, I don't want to make wood." ”

The voice fell, suddenly, I saw Shui Lingyue, who had not spoken on the side, "choked", Shui Yue's sword drew his sword in his hand, not allowing others to react, volleyed into the air, and the law was drawn, and the Shui Yue sword turned into a pillar of light like a mountain, and he was about to cut it down at the poplar tree.

Chu Qing, who was standing on the ground, saw it, her face was shocked, and she blurted out: "Sister Shui, what are you going to do?"

Without waiting for Shui Lingyue to answer, Hu Yangshu laughed wildly and said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect you to cultivate so much at such a young age, but if you want to try the old man's truth, I'm afraid it's still far away." ”

After saying that, there was a roar.

"Roar"

The distance around the poplar tree was dozens of zhang away, and a gust of wind rolled up, forcing Chu Qing and Granny Duan to retreat.

Shui Lingyue was in the air, green silk was flying, his clothes were fluttering, and a pair of cold eyes stared downward, revealing a coldness, without the slightest intention of retreating.

The two compartments are opposed, and there is a situation of incompatibility.

The Great War is imminent!

At this moment, Granny Duan was stunned, her expression was blank, and she walked straight forward, just a few steps away, her two sides turned white again, and her face became hideous.

Chu Qing mistakenly thought that Granny Duan stepped forward to persuade Shui Lingyue at first, Huo Ran found that something was wrong, and quickly followed, only to know that it was the demonic poison in Granny Duan's body that had committed it again, so she couldn't help but say it, and hurriedly wrapped her fingers around the soft sacrifice, and at the same time shouted into the air: "Sister Shui......"

Shui Lingyue was originally engrossed in the poplar tree below, and made up her mind to explore the void and reality, and when she heard the sound, she turned her head to look, hurriedly put away the Shui Yue Sword, and flew down.

At this point, the strong wind around the poplar trees also stopped, and everything around them returned to normal, as if nothing had ever happened.

"Poplar" whispered, "It seems that this old woman's demonic poison has intensified again, and you don't have much time. ”

Shui Lingyue didn't pay any attention to it, and looked at Granny Duan with concern under the soft light around her fingers, her eyes showing regret.

"Poplar Tree" added: "Finger wrapping around is just an expedient measure, and it cannot be cured." ”

Seeing that the demon poison had been controlled again, Chu Qing turned to look at the poplar tree, and said resolutely: "Where is the Heavenly Hell Star? Did you find the Western Regions Demon Sect and find the Heavenly Hell Star?" ”

"Poplar Tree" paused, did not answer immediately, and said later: "After nightfall, go straight west, and a thousand miles will be the Demon Sect." ”

Granny Duan's face gradually became normal under the clear light of her fingers, and she naturally heard the words of the poplar tree, anyone knew that going to the Demon Sect to get the Heavenly Hell Star was like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, how dangerous it was, so she closed her eyes tightly, and hurriedly said: "Ling'er, Qing'er, and don't listen to its nonsense, Mother-in-law doesn't allow any of you to take risks for your mother-in-law, everything has a fixed number, and going against the sky is really done by the Demon Dao!" After speaking, her face became obviously pale, and cold sweat broke out all over her body, as if she had used all her strength.

Looking at Granny Duan, who was so weak under her fingers, Chu Qing and Shui Lingyue showed pain on their faces, but neither of them spoke.

And at this time, the poplar tree behind him said: "You old woman, you are extremely stupid, you follow the way of heaven, I am afraid that you will not live for a hundred years and will turn into a pile of white bones." According to you, practitioners on the righteous path often live for hundreds of years, so isn't that also disobeying the mandate of heaven?"

When Granny Duan heard this, she didn't know whether she was speechless or disdainful of arguing, so she was silent for a while.

At this time, Shui Lingyue, who had been silent on the side, got up and said coldly: "I'll go to Heavenly Hell." ”
