The next day, the two hit the road as promised.

Niuniu seemed to be asleep, and she was very stable in her mother's arms, and Li Xia thought about her own thoughts, so the woman was not noisy, and walked quietly. Tongcheng was originally in the south of Yuzhou, and after only one day's trip, the three of them arrived at the junction of Yuzhou and Jingzhou.

The woman saw that it was dark, so she casually pointed to an inn: "Seventh son, why don't we sleep here, it's late, and you're tired." ”

Li Xia nodded and agreed, and didn't forget to touch Niuniu's head: "This child sleeps so deeply, I'm afraid he's tired, sister-in-law, wait a minute, I'll help you open a house." ”

The woman smiled gratefully.

Li Xia turned around and entered the hotel. The woman waited outside the hotel for about a stick of incense, but no one came out. She suddenly smiled softly, and her body floated in like a ghost. The girl was held in her arms, but she neither cried nor made a fuss, as if she did not exist.

Li Xia, who was hiding in the shadows, felt a tightening heart. He really didn't guess wrong, this woman is very big, and most of the little baby in her arms was also robbed, which is not good. Li Xia thought that he had to save this child. He had never looked down on such a thing as bullying, and he never thought that he would be so coincidentally encountered. The ignorant sense of justice that he had been sleeping for a long time finally broke out, and at this time he was almost holding back his strength to save the child.

The woman didn't mean to look for him, but she held the child in her left hand and stretched out her right hand to draw a strange shape. There was no one in the lobby at this time, so the black gas rising from her hand swirled and rushed towards Li Xia. Li Xia was suddenly startled, and suddenly realized where the vague sense of uneasiness in his heart came from - this inn was pointed out to him by the strange woman, and there must be something wrong inside!

However, at this time, he couldn't think so much, and a soaring body jumped out from under the approaching black qi. He tried to pull Chang'an, but he didn't get any unexpected surprises: Chang'an Jian still ignored him.

Li Xia didn't feel hopeless, maybe it was his untimely calmness at work, and the boy was a bit otherworldly in the face of danger—though it was probably just because he was slow to react.

Li Xia had no intention of confronting the woman, and the only thing he wanted to do was to save the little girl. He is good at swords, and now he has no way to retreat, but feels a little relaxed. He put the Chang'an brand water and fire stick horizontally, injected some spiritual power into it, and then really waved it like a stick and rushed up. The moment the black smoke collided with Li's spiritual power, it retreated.

The woman was slightly stunned.

Li Xia did not hesitate to change his footwork, approached the woman by retreating, and the Chang'an sword, which had been used as a maze array, suddenly stopped, and in an instant, he changed direction and smashed it with the scabbard. As soon as the spirit moved, the woman screamed all her life and disappeared.

The little girl sat on the ground a little confused.

Li Xia hurried over and picked up the child. How could the young master of the Li family coax the child, he could only try to make the girl more comfortable in his arms in an extremely awkward position. He picked up Chang'an and inserted it into the sword belt behind his back, and sighed sadly at the little girl.

The next second he regretted it.

The child in his arms suddenly lifted his head, his neck was almost completely pinched on his back, and a very hideous smile appeared on his little fleshy face, and then with a "giggle", almost all the flesh on his face was gone. She jerked her head up and bit Lixia's neck at a barely visible speed. Li Xia "buzzed" in his mind, and instinctively threw the child out, but he didn't expect the little skeleton to bite with great force, and he didn't fly out with a flick, but only hung himself on Li Xia's neck with his teeth!

Li Xia was shocked and quickly reached out to break the child's mouth, but it seemed to be an ignorant puppet, and he didn't feel pain at all, so he naturally wouldn't let go. Chang Anjian stubbornly ignored him, and Li Xia almost heard the sound of a blood vessel breaking in his neck. The feeling of suffocation gradually robbed him of his pain, and the Venus in front of Li Xia's eyes was scurrying, and he was nauseous with a buzzing sound in his ears. Suddenly, the sound of Jin Ge sounded, and in just a moment, the suffocation disappeared.

Li Xia sat down suddenly, gasping for air.

I don't know how long it took for him to hear a very cold "hum", and then he raised his head. On the opposite side was a young girl, dressed in a crimson suit, with a belt around her waist, soap boots, her black hair was hung high above her head by plain white satin, her long eyebrows were in her temples, her beautiful eyes were looking forward to it, and a red long sword in her right hand was scorching. She has a handsome face tightly, and there is a chilling aura around her body, even if she has a natural good appearance, it is difficult for people to be disrespectful. She is like a proud snow red plum, standing in the corner of this gloomy inn.

"Which young master are you?" the girl frowned and wrote disdain on her face, "You dare to mix in this cultivation world without even knowing how to use a sword?" I said, are you okay, do you need to stop the bleeding?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I have my own medicine. Li Xia stood up slowly, raised his hand and took out a bottle of golden medicine, "Girl, thank you for your kindness." ”

"You're too kind, that's not what you do. The woman sighed, "What about the woman in black?"

"I don't know, I just wanted to save the kid. ”

"Do you know who she is?"

Li Xia shook her head honestly.

The woman in red sighed: "Little young master, that person is one of the four killers of the Black Wind Cliff, a cultivator of ghosts, nicknamed 'Black Face', and is known for being a puppet and an exorcist. That girl is probably her puppet for a long time. ”

Li Xia went out to call on Wumen to face the Black Wind Cliff, but he didn't expect that before the plan started, he almost sacrificed the flag. He had just come back to his senses at this time, only to feel cold sweat all over his body, and his heart seemed to have been hit hard by something, and he suddenly sobered up a lot.

"Girl, let's be honest, I came out to fight against the Black Wind Cliff. Li Xia saw that someone was leaving, so she hurriedly spoke out to stop her, "The girl's mind must be the same as that of Zaixia, why don't you let Zai go with her?"

"I don't think you even know how to use a sword, what a mess. The woman refuted his words without mercy, "You hurry home, it's not safe outside." ”

"No, girl, I'm not bad at spirit. Li Xia hurriedly chased after him, "I don't know why this sword suddenly sealed the sword, I'm so embarrassed." If the girl doesn't believe me, why don't we give it a try?"

Li Xia has been living in confusion. Before going down the mountain, he was confused, he didn't know what he was practicing the sword every day, and after he came down the mountain, he was even more confused, he couldn't even touch the shadow of the Black Wind Cliff, and he didn't know where he should go. At this time, he finally ran into a person who seemed to be able to take him on the road, and he almost clung to it like a lifesaver.

“...... I don't have time, I'm going to catch the 'black face'. The woman seemed to be in a hurry, "If you don't leave, there will be victims like you!"

Richa really didn't think of this layer. He has never been able to empathize with other people's affairs, and unless it is the suffering he has seen or experienced with his own eyes, it is difficult for him to be serious from the bottom of his heart. The kid did wake up some of Li Xia's senses in one bite, and he was stunned for a moment, and quickly chased after him.

Li Xia has always been very good, and she doesn't feel any trouble following the woman. The woman in red kept holding this compass-like thing in her hand, and she was hurrying almost without touching the ground. Li Xia guessed that the thing might be used to detect the enemy's position, so he didn't say much, and followed her silently in the dark night.

Her goal is a big mountain.

The red-clothed figure stopped, and Li Xia also stopped. After a while, the girl whispered: "If you want to follow me, you can't help it, don't blame me for being sent to death." ”

"I can't die. Li Xia said calmly, "It's you, girl, I advise you not to trespass on this place." ”

"What?"

"Under your feet is the art of Qimen. ”

"Will you solve it?"

"Nature...... Girl, can you take someone with you? I have my own golden pill, it shouldn't be too heavy. ”

The woman seemed to be a high-level sword cultivator, so she was quite speechless for this kind of person who had a golden pill but couldn't use a sword. After a few seconds of silence, she pursed her lips and carried Li Xia up to the sky.

"There was a wounded door directly below us, so we didn't go in. Traditionally, the door of death is next to the door of injury, and the door of life is opposite the door of death...... Huh, why not?"

Li Xia looked at this Qimen Formation with no birth in astonishment, and almost suspected that something was wrong with his eyes. Everything in the world is balanced with yin and yang, how can it be that he suddenly deviates from his heart here, and refuses to leave a trace of yang energy?

"It's the ghost of the formation cultivator of the Black Wind Cliff, not surprising, I've heard about it several times. The woman shrugged, "Do you see if there's a slightly calmer entrance?"

"Southwest, Jingmen. ”

"That's it. The red sword moved like a meteor, and the woman in red raised her head proudly, "There is no Shengmen, I am Shengmen—thank you, you can wait here." ”

"Hey...... Wait, I'll go with you. Li Xia sighed, "The girl's swordsmanship is outstanding, but the side branch is ...... It doesn't make much sense. ”

"I'm not here. ”

"It's risky for Jingmen to go, in his formation, Jingmen and the death door are all connected, in other words, you are likely to be sent to death without me. ”

The girl glanced at him, and a pair of black and white eyes reflected starlight slightly, but the light could not shine in her heart - she simply "hummed", and said for a long time: "Do you use me to take you in?"

"In my experience, Edgeworth Flying is really not a great option. Li Xia said with a glance, "There is only one formation that needs to be cracked from the ground, and if it is from the air, there is a high probability that the two formations of land and air will be triggered, and things will become more complicated." ”

"You know a lot. The girl finally picked at him, "At least it's not wastewood." My name is Chi Yuan, what about you?"

"Risya. Miss Chi can you tell me what you are here for?"

"Save people. Chi Yuan followed the young man with a footwork and said, "Do you know the method of refining the puppet by 'Black Face'?"

“...... I don't know. Li Xia naturally didn't know that he had just made up his mind to wade into troubled waters.

"I guess you don't know. It's okay, it's not too late to know. Chi Yuan pursed his lips, "The current lord of the Black Wind Cliff is called Bai Xun, and the three elders under him, 'Black Dragon', 'Black Tiger' and 'Black Face'. The black dragon is a very brutal formation cultivator, the black tiger demon cultivator, and the black face is a ghost cultivator. As for the puppet technique I mentioned to you, it is based on a young child with deep spiritual roots, and the immortal cultivator Jin Dan is used as a guide to introduce the cultivator's own spiritual power, so that the puppet has the will of the master and more profound skills. Today we are going to save the group of cultivators who have been arrested. ”

"Oh. I see. Li Xia was a little ignorant, and he still didn't show his confusion in the end, so he concentrated on doing his own thing, bowing his head and bypassing one trap after another with a late wish.

Not quite right. Sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead. The Qimen Array is ever-changing, and it stands to reason that as long as you enter from Jimen, you will have a chance to get out. However, the traps here are one after the other, and the situation is dangerous one race at a time. When he was late, the layman couldn't see the doorway, but he knew it very clearly - the two of them were almost dancing on the tip of a knife, and there was a very discordant sense of crisis.

Wait a minute...... Everything is the same...... Li Xia suddenly stopped in his deep groan, and Chi Yuan, who was following behind, almost fell. She looked up and was shocked to find that Li Xia's face was extremely ugly, and she hesitated for a moment but still said loudly: "What, it's injured?"

"The fundamental ...... of Qimen It is the door of life and the door of death. Among them, Du, Jing, and Hugh are three doors and the life door is connected, and injury, shock, and the three doors are opened and the death door is connected...... However, this formation is fundamentally a double death door, that is to say...... There is no Jimen here at all, they are all fierce gates. ”

"Black Hawk. Chi Yuan affirmed, "He is the best at inducing yang energy." ”

"What now? What are we going to do?"

"Break in. ”

"You can't get out! There will only be more and more formations here, and you will be trapped here in the end, and it is even more likely that they themselves use this method to catch monks for puppet making. Li Xia hurriedly said, "It's a pity that it's long...... I'm sealed with a sword, otherwise we can try it if we break into the void. The air route will not be so complicated, it is estimated that at most it will be guarded by a few small soldiers. ”

"What's the easiest way to know the truth?"

"Huh?"

"Nature is the truth. The bright girl suddenly smiled, "Young Master Li, it's better to try to make assumptions here, and try what the last step in this formation is, isn't it?"

Li Xia simply obeyed this girl, obviously she looked a little smaller than herself, but she always had a broken attachment to the boat, as if she herself was the red sword in her hand, although she was reckless, but she was always on the way forward.

Li Xia suddenly felt a little envious. He thought that this girl must believe in many things, traveled a lot of roads, met many people, and gained a lot of brightness and beauty, so that she could find sunshine in the darkness like this. He sighed, walked up quickly to block in front of her, and said, "Forget it, you better follow me." ”

"Isn't there no road?"

"There was no way out, but I could find the nearest way to the center. Don't you want to go and see it?" Li Xia lowered her voice, "It just so happens that this is my beginning. ”
