Five

While talking and laughing, Su Zi and Gu Hai had already walked to the entrance of the pear forest. Just one step away, the sky is still clear at the end of the stone steps, but the pear forest is pouring rain. The fine rain silk accompanied by the strong wind swept down the pear blossoms on the ground, and Su Zi seemed to see something in the haze: "Ah Gu, do you think there is a person there?" Gu Hai looked in the direction he pointed, and there was indeed a rare figure, "Such a heavy rain, what is that person squatting on the ground doing, go and see?" The two looked at each other, nodded affirmatively, and then ran towards the figure against the torrential rain.

The sound of Xu is stepping into the puddle alarmed the other party, and just when Su Zi and Gu Hai were about to see the figure clearly, the person suddenly ran towards the west side of the pear forest, Gu Hai was about to follow, but Su Zi grabbed him at this time: "Senior brother said, don't leave the road." There is a formation in the forest, and there are demons under the array, if you follow the past, I don't know what you will encounter!" He increased the strength in his hand, trying to extinguish the curiosity in Gu Hai's heart, but Gu Hai also reflexively held Su Zi's wrist: "You also said that there are demons under the formation, what if that person is in the same group as Bai Zhuan and wants to harm Kunlun?" Seeing that Su Zi still looked hesitant, he continued: "If you don't dare, then let me go, if you don't let go, that person will run away!" After that, Gu Hai was about to chase after him to the depths of the pear forest alone, but Su Zi finally couldn't rest assured and followed, "Hehe, I knew that you wouldn't let me go alone." Seeing Gu Hai's hippie smiling face, Su Zi had no choice but to say, "Shut up and chase you!

Following the footprints left by the man all the way to the west, the deeper the pear grove went, the thicker the evil aura became, and even the overwhelming pure white pear blossoms could not cover these black fogs. A paper crane made of rune paper flapped its wings and tried to get closer, but because it couldn't withstand the bursts of evil qi, it turned around and flew towards the mountain gate.

"Oh no, they went to the swamp lake!" Fang Yinuo picked up his sword and ran outside the teahouse, and Ye Wanchi followed after carefully putting away the Gu box containing the blood-drinking insects. After leaving the overcrowded Qingning Fang, the two immediately cast a spell, and Edgeworth rushed towards Kunlun. Only when he saw the pear forest from afar, Fang Yinuo sensed that something was wrong. On weekdays, the pear forest at this time should be surrounded by colorful clouds, and the pear blossoms are reflected crimson by the glow, but now, the entire pear forest is enveloped in evil spirits. "Didn't Jiang Xingque say that the big array could still last for a few years?" Fang Yinuo's tone was a little incredulous, Ye Wanchi had nothing to answer, she took out a piece of rune paper and covered it on the Gu box, and wrote something on it, and read it in her mouth: "Soul into the Gu, call my old man." In an instant, several golden rays of light came out from the center of the rune paper, one flew towards the Kunlun Domain, and the rest all flew towards the swamp lake on the west side of the pear forest. Ye Wanchi seemed to have lost her soul, and she was about to drop her sword as soon as her legs were weak, but fortunately, Fang Yinuo began to pay attention to her when she was casting a spell, and dragged her to her sword: "What did you summon out?", although Ye Wanchi still looked stunned, he replied: "Ye Ancestor." ”

The footprints that Gu Hai and Su Zi used as clues finally disappeared in front of a clear lake, Xu is water was too clear, and the two always felt that something was wrong. After thinking about it, Gu Hai decided to throw something down and try it first. He first picked up a small pebble, and then felt that the pebble was too small, so he went around a small half circle and picked a piece larger than his head and brought it back.

Together, they threw the stone as far as they could, but when it touched the water, it did not make a huge splash as they had expected, but made a muffled sound as if it had been thrown into a mire, and then slowly swallowed up by the lake. Just after the stone was completely immersed in the water of the lake, the surface of the water spat out several huge bubbles as if it had eaten enough and burped. "Shouldn't we be here?" Gu Hai turned his head to look at Su Zi and asked, but before Su Zi could finish rolling his eyes, a scene that shocked them even more appeared.

The water of the lake surged closer to the center of the lake, gradually forming a column of water, and Gu Hai and Su Zi finally realized that the situation was not good, and pulled out their swords together. The water column gathered higher and higher, almost to the height of an adult man, and the two wanted to leave, but found that the way had been sealed at some point, so they had to keep retreating with their swords in front of them, and the water column also became more and more like it was about to transform into a human form as the distance narrowed. Finally, the moment Gu Hai touched the enchantment, the water column completely turned into a man's appearance, and even his hair danced with the demon wind in the pear forest. Su Zi took the lead in stabbing at the man who had turned into a column of water, but as soon as the sword body touched the opponent's neckline, it slowly disappeared as if it was being pulled by something. When Su Zi's sword was completely devoured, the man's face showed a trace of imperceptible cruelty, and in the next second, only a roar from the bottom of the lake could be heard, and then, the water column that was still a man suddenly turned into a huge mouth and rushed towards the two. Gu Hai hurriedly stopped Su Zi, who had lost his sword, behind him, and he held the sword in front of him, looking like he was going to fight for his life.

Before the expected horror occurred, several golden rays of light broke through the barrier and slammed the massive mouth of the water column back into the middle of the lake with a single move. Su Zi poked his head out from behind Gu Hai to take a look, only to see that those golden lights turned into human shapes at the moment they touched the ground, and they all wore black jade around their waists without exception, he knew that this was a symbol of the Ye family. While being happy, Su Zi felt a little strange, these people seemed to have a deep cultivation and a very high status, but after the Great War a hundred years ago, each family suffered heavy losses, until today, the elders of the four major families may not have so many combined, how could there be more than ten Ye clans at once? No, the soul summoned by the soul attraction spell shouldn't be so real, but if not, but isn't the brother in charge of the sect already dead?" Gu Hai saw Su Zi muttering quietly and asked curiously, "What are you talking about, what soul spell? Who died?" As if hearing something, the man wearing the jade pendant with the word 'Yingbo' first looked in the direction of the two, and then walked towards them. Gu Su and the others clenched each other's hands nervously, just as they had just come out of the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den, Su Zi wanted to cry without tears: "How many times have I told you to speak quietly, you just don't listen! Gu Hai tried to refute, but he couldn't think of anything wrong, so he had to shut up honestly and watch Ye Yingbo approach him. Fortunately, the lake was still quite angry, and at this moment, there was an uproar again, Ye Yingbo suddenly came to Gu Hai, and left a sentence without a beginning or an end: "Penglai Immortal Medicine is for him." Then, he walked on the lake to the center of the wind and waves.

Gu Hai and Su Zi knew that they couldn't help much, so they found a tree and honestly hid behind. In the center of the swamp lake was a huge waterspout, Ye Yingbo first tried to stab the sword from the outside, but every time he entered the tip of the sword, it was as difficult to enter as if it was against the stone wall. Other Yip ancestors also looked for entry points from various places, and there were no flaws. The waterspout seemed to know that they had no way to start, so they became more and more arrogant, and many water vines were born from their bodies, constantly swinging at the Ye ancestors. Just by looking at the splash caused by the water vine smashing on the surface of the lake, you can feel its great strength, Su Zi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, fortunately, they are all deceased, otherwise this would not be half a life if it was smoked.

As time passed, the range of the waterspout became larger and larger, and the water vines that stretched out continued to increase. Although Gu Hai was only watching from the sidelines, he noticed that the waterspout seemed to be intending to protect something in the middle of the lake, and he motioned for Su Zi to come closer with him to take a look, so the two of them moved cautiously towards the shore of the lake, and before they reached the shore, Gu Hai saw the face of the thing clearly: "It's a piece of green jade." He whispered, Su Zi was even more shocked when he heard this, and replied: "Bai's jade pendant, it won't be a jade pendant from Bai's descending." ”

"Senior Ye, go and snatch the green jade in its heart!" The two teenagers shouted the same words to the heart of the lake together, Ye Yingbo listened, and without half a moment's hesitation, he stepped on the water vine and rushed towards the top of it. However, the waterspout seemed to hear it as well, and suddenly shrunk its size several times, closed the opening at the top, and tightly wrapped the green jade in it. Despite this, the water vine is still only increasing, and although the ancestors of the Ye family can get close, they have no way to start.

Seeing that the waterspout was gradually gaining the upper hand, a Gu box was suddenly thrown down from the air, Gu Hai and Su Zi looked up, Fang Yinuo had already rushed to the swamp lake with Ye Wanchi. There were still some weak girls who strengthened their spirits and sealed them with great accuracy, and the rune paper that was originally firmly attached to the Gu box was torn apart the moment it touched Ye Yingbo.

Ye Yingbo took the Gu box steadily, turned back, and withdrew from the range that the water vine could attack, he opened the box, and inside it was a rare golden silkworm Gu. Ye Yingbo carefully lured the Gu worm to the tip of the sword, and then used his own remnant soul as a guide, holding the sword to the location where Qingyu was, only to see that the water column was broken out of a big mouth in an instant, and a sharp whistle sounded immediately, Gu Hai and Su Zi couldn't help but cover their ears, and even the ancestors of the Ye family were shocked into a trance. Qingyu resisted and emitted a violent light in the center of the water column, and the water column that wrapped it even trembled out vertical waves, but Ye Yingbo did not have a trace of fear, he took advantage of the fact that the crack was not closed, and stabbed the sword body into it along with his right arm. Different from what he imagined, the green jade he touched was actually warm and soft, just holding it gently, Ye Yingbo took the green jade out of the water column.

The last golden light arrived with the Jiang brothers and sisters and the Bai brothers and sisters, and Xu completed the task of transmitting the message, and the golden light dispersed into a spark before he could transform into a human form. Once again, the water column in the lake expanded into a waterspout, struggling to recapture the green jade. At this time, the figures of the Ye ancestors who surrounded the waterspout also gradually faded and became more and more transparent. Seeing this, the four of them tacitly tread the waves and marched towards the waterspout, the Bai brothers and sisters were responsible for containing the surrounding water vines, and the Jiang brothers and sisters saw the opportunity to climb to the top and suppress it.

Around the waterspout, the figures of the Bai sisters and brothers were so elegant, that the onlookers Gu Hai and Su Zi could only judge who made the move through their swords, the sword light of Xiangjun and Qingmeng, and whether the water vine had mutilated himself or was cut off by the sword. Xu is situation was already clear, Gu Su and the others boldly stood on the shore and cheered for everyone in the lake, "Eh, you said that the jade is green jade, or the light is cyan, why do I get more and more confused the more I look at it?" Su Zi was also not sure, so he didn't answer. At the same time, Jiang Xingge held the scabbard of his sword horizontally to help Jiang Xingque, who flew forward, and then tapped the scabbard and jumped to the highest place. I saw that while she was sealing with both hands, she also used her own cultivation to control the sword frost to draw several spells in the air, and at the moment of completion, the girl in the formation let go of the seal's hands and shouted: "Open." Suddenly, Frostfall was withdrawn from his hand, and those spells quickly scattered in all directions. Jiang Xingge and the Bai brothers and sisters formed a triangle, surrounding the Quartet Array, and when the waterspout was pressed close to the surface of the lake, thousands of sword shadows flew towards the formation in unison. After another sharp and long whistle, the waterspout finally exploded into a thousand splashes along with countless sword shadows.

At the same time that the water droplets in the sky fell together with the heavy rain, Ye Yingbo also fell straight from the air, Jiang Xingque leaned over, trying to pull this unknown senior, but the other party disappeared the same as those Ye ancestors at the moment of being touched. Jiang Xingque tightened his hand, and suddenly felt that there seemed to be something more in his hand, and when he opened it, it was actually two large and one small Bai's green jade, and the smaller one was embedded in the center of the larger one for some reason, and then took a closer look, and there was a descending word vaguely engraved on the top of the small jade.

"It's Bai's stuff, you can take it back. Back on the shore, Jiang Xingque handed Qingyu to Bai Zhi without half a moment's hesitation, although the other party still had a cold expression, he said thank you gently. Seeing that everyone was leaving the swamp lake one after another, Gu Su and the others were also busy keeping up, for fear that they would encounter something that could save their lives later.

The Jiang brothers and sisters walked at the end, until the figures of everyone faded out of sight, Jiang Xingge stopped and said sharply: "What did you leave behind?" Jiang Xingque didn't answer, just continued to walk forward, and at the same time, quietly put the things in his hand into his sleeve. The person behind him stepped forward quickly and put the wind on Jiang Xingque's neck: "What did you leave behind?" Jiang Xingge asked for the second time. "Nothing. Jiang Xingque stopped, rarely lowered his face, and then said, "Why don't you kill me and see if there is one?" Jiang Xingge watched in silence as Jiang Xingque stepped forward again, and in the end, he just yelled at her back: "Jiang Xingque, you'd better not lie to me!"
