The afterglow dissipated, and Luoyang City ushered in another calm night. Qingchen and Xian'er stood at the gate of the city, quietly waiting for the arrival of Peony.

"Qingchen! It's not time yet! Why did you come here so early? Xian'er asked puzzled.

Qingchen smiled slightly: "Do you think this peony is really so kind to help us?"

"Didn't she say that her lifeline was held by that Daoist, probably because she wanted to get out of his control, so she reached a consensus with us!"

"Judging from my experience of fighting with the Daoist in the middle of the mountain last time, he should be in the early stage of ascending to the Immortal Realm. Because Master Changge was in the middle stage of ascending to the Immortal Realm, if it weren't for the resentment spirit bead in that person's hand, he wouldn't be able to retreat with his whole body. Qingchen said.

"Then Qingchen, do you still want to go? Hearing you say this, I'm afraid that the two of us will work together, and it may not be his opponent!" Xian'er looked a little anxious.

Qingchen nodded and said, "So, I believe that Peony will not fail to see this." In that case, I'll take a look at what she's trying to do. ”

"You've said so much, but you still haven't said why you're here so early!" said Xian'er, with her mouth cocked. He always felt that Qingchen had something to hide from her.

Qingchen smiled slightly, the book of heaven flashed in his hand, and the next moment, the map of mountains and rivers flew out and hung in front of him.

"Today afternoon, I had nothing to do, so I carefully studied this treasure given by the emperor. ”

"Unexpectedly, this time Turing actually took the initiative to talk to me, and also told me how to use a map of mountains and rivers. ”

"How to use it!" Xian'er's eyes lit up and she stared at Qingchen with great interest.

Qingchen slowly unfolded the map of mountains and rivers, and then threw it away, and the scroll disappeared in front of Xian'er's eyes in an instant.

"Wow! This scroll can be invisible!" shouted Xian'er.

Qingchen covered his face, really admiring the IQ of this little rabbit.

"This is the first ability of the Ten Thousand Miles Mountains and Rivers Map, called Mirror Flower Water Moon!"

"What a nice name!" Xian'er jumped on the side, not hiding the admiration in her heart.

The corners of Qingchen's mouth rose slightly, and he said: "This map of mountains and rivers is really worthy of being a magic weapon of the same level as Xuntian, and this first weakest ability can already be called against the sky." ”

"What ability! What ability! Tell me quickly, I'm in a hurry!" Xian'er pulled Qingchen's sleeve and begged bitterly, it was really curiosity that killed the rabbit!

Qingchen touched her head and said, "You'll understand later!"

"Ahh You're bullying me!I'm going back to tell Qingyan!" Xian'er saw that Qingchen didn't mean to reveal it in advance, and instantly cried and cried.

At this time, a familiar figure in the distance slowly walked towards the two, and Xian'er also stopped playing at this time, staring at the peony that came seriously.

Peony saw Qingchen, saluted slightly, and said, "The slave family has made the son wait for a long time!"

"No, no, we've just arrived!" Qingchen said with a smile.

Peony nodded, showed a polite smile, and then walked in front of Qingchen and Xian'er, and began to lead the way.

Along the way, you can occasionally see a few merchants walking at night, but other than that, there is no one.

"This outskirts of the city is really desolate!" Qingchen said lightly.

Peony replied with a smile: "That's nature, this is a mass grave, and most people stay away, so naturally it becomes desolate!"

After walking for a while, countless white skeletons appeared in front of several people, accompanied by the smell of rotting and disgusting corpses.

At this time, a figure flew out of the sky above the mountain of corpses in front of Qingchen, and it was the half-mountain Taoist who had fought with him before.

I saw a smug evil smile on the man's face, and shouted at Qingchen: "Stinky boy, destroy my thousand-year-old plan, today I will let you die without a place to be buried!"

Qingchen sighed slightly and said, "This peony is really not a good thing. ”

"Hahahaha, Peony, she is not wrong! Her lifeline is indeed in my hands! It's just that there is a huge disparity in strength between you and me, how can she give up me to vote for you!"

At this time, the peony who was originally beside Qingchen also stood on the side of the Daoist in the middle of the mountain at this time.

"Young Master Qingchen, I'm sorry, if I don't do this, I'll die!" Peony frowned slightly, and took out a short dagger in his hand and placed it across his chest.

Qingchen did not panic at all, but said to Peony indifferently: "It is your decision who you choose, but whether you live or die depends on my decision!"

When Peony heard this, an inexplicable chill arose in his heart, but he was obviously in an overwhelming position now!

Why is there such a strange fear?

The people of the Mid-Mountain Dao also noticed the strange appearance of the peony, and snorted coldly: "A slave is a slave all his life, and when others are lightly frightened, they tremble with fear!"

"Boy, you can't get out today! In this mass grave, I have laid a net of heaven and earth!"

Then he shouted, "Come out, my little darling!"

With the order of the Daoist in the middle of the mountain, the mountains of dead corpses around him seemed to have regained their life in an instant, and all of them exuded a thick resentment, rushing towards Qingchen.

Seeing this, Qingchen hurriedly burst back and retreated, flying out of the sky behind him, the Four Seasons Gem flashed, the sword body turned into emerald green, and a vine was entwined on it.

"Twilight!"

As Qingchen slashed, the turquoise sword qi around him roared like ocean waves, and everywhere he went, all the resentment on the corpse retreated!

And those resentful spirits that had retreated did not disappear, but instead followed the emerald sword qi and re-converged back into the Four Seasons Gems of the Heaven Following Sword.

The Daoist in the middle of the mountain sneered: "I didn't expect to see you for a few months, but your strength has increased greatly! It seems that I need to give you something real!"

After that, the palm of the person in the middle of the mountain road was raised, and the resentful spirit bead appeared in his hand, and then the surrounding ghostly aura was overwhelming like a tornado and swirled into the resentful spirit bead.

The eyes of the people in the middle of the mountain road also became hollow at this time. He grasped the bead with five fingers, and chanted a slight incantation in his mouth.

The next moment, a devastating black light shot out from the Spirit Bead, and its speed made Qingchen have no time to dodge.

Peony also sighed slightly at this time, in her eyes, Qingchen was just a dying person.

And at this moment, Xian'er's petite body suddenly blocked in front of Qingchen's body, and the black light penetrated the bodies of the two of them like an arrow piercing the clouds!

Then, the surroundings became unusually quiet, and Qingchen and Xian'er stood straight and motionless.

After a while, a faint smile hung on the corner of Qingchen's mouth, raised his hand and gently touched Xian'er's head, and said, "You are not allowed to do such stupid things in the future, brother, I will not do things that I am not sure of!"

Xian'er blinked her big eyes and touched her chest, and said, "Qingchen, are we all dead?"

"Hey, why are they dead?" said Xian'er, pointing to the half-mountain Daoist and the peony in the distance.

Qingchen smiled, protected Xian'er behind him, and then said, "We're not dead!"

"I've said it a long time ago! Whether you live or die today is up to me!"

At this time, Peony was already so frightened that her legs were weak, and the people in the middle of the mountain beside her were full of incredulity in their eyes.

"How is it possible! I was hit by my resentful spirit bead and was unharmed! Not only you, but even the little girl next to you!"

Qingchen's eyes turned fierce, and bursts of murderous aura erupted from his body.

"Mirror flowers, close!"

As Qingchen's voice fell, the people in the middle of the mountain began to slowly disappear, leaving only Peony alone.

"Qingchen Gongzi, Peony knows that he is wrong! spare the slave family's life, whatever you want, the slave family will promise you!" Peony's eyes were hollow, and fear made her kneel down in front of Qingchen without hesitation.

Qingchen sneered, his fingers turned slightly, and the Heaven Following Sword turned pale yellow, and then a pillar of light fell from the sky, enveloping the peony.

"Hot summer, fire fly fly!"

The body of the peony turned into ashes under a sword light, and countless red dragonflies flew out.

Xian'er was behind Qingchen, watching this scene, dumbfounded.

"What about that bad Taoist priest just now?"

Qingchen put away Xuntian and said, "That Taoist priest is still in the original place, but we are not in this world." It's in the mountains and rivers. ”

Xian'er was surprised and said suspiciously: "But I saw him just now!"

Qingchen nodded slightly, and said: "This is the magic of the map of mountains and rivers, the so-called mirror flowers and moons, is to let the world in the picture and the real world blend together." The real with the virtual, the virtual with the real. ”

"That is, he can see us, we can see him, but his attacks can't hurt us. ”

Qingchen explained to Xian'er.

Xian'er also suddenly realized: "Ao~ When you were at the city gate before, you had already used the mirror flower and water, so in fact, the peony took us only the road in the picture, not the road of the present world." ”

Qingchen touched Xian'er's head with a smile and said, "That's good, I figured it out so quickly!"

"Then why can you get rid of those grudge skeletons?"

"That's because, if I want, I can switch between the virtual and the real for a short period of time, but the other people in the diagram have no control over the virtual and real transformations except me. Qingchen said slowly.

Xian'er nodded silently and said, "I didn't expect that this Son of Heaven would give you such a powerful treasure!"

Qingchen sighed slightly, and said: "Alas, although the treasure is strong, there are many people who covet it, and now that the people of the Mid-Mountain Dao have seen it, they will definitely spread the news, and there will definitely be a lot of trouble to find at that time." ”

Hearing this, Xian'er patted her chest with a smile and said, "It's okay, Xian'er is here, Xian'er protects you!"

Qingchen glanced at her angrily and said, "Is it like blocking that black light for me just now?"

"I'll tell you! Next time you can't do this! Let the pet make me a meat shield, how can I still have the face to see people!"

Xian'er lowered her head silently, gently kicked Qingchen's robe with her little feet, and complained in a low voice: "Stinky Qingchen, people don't want to protect you, be kind to treat it as a donkey's liver and lungs!"

Qingchen touched Xian'er's little face, and then turned it into a jade rabbit and put it in his arms, and then stretched out his hand to chant a spell, and the map of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers returned, and he also returned to the gate of Luoyang City.

"Next, it's the mother-in-law of the thousand machines!"
