At night, in a pavilion on the bank of the river.

A graceful woman, dressed in a light blue ankle-length gauze skirt, stood by the railing, looking at the flowing water in front of her, her eyes were slightly dull.

A man in a dark blue robe with narrow sleeves and his hair tied in a ponytail was walking along the riverbank with a dejected look. He seemed to have a deep sadness in him, and melted into the night along with the dark blue robes on his body.

When there was still a long way to go from the pavilion, the man seemed to be a little expectant, a little lonely, or a little hesitant. It seems that it took a lot of courage to raise his head and look into the pavilion, as if he was looking for the image of a beautiful woman.

However, because there are only a few lights on the riverbank, they are clearly extinguished, so I can't look carefully.

As far as the eye could see, the man could see a familiar and slender figure in the pavilion.

It's still the same as before, standing in the same position, wearing the same clothes, and combing the same hairstyle. The graceful figure stood there steadily, as if it had been waiting for someone to arrive, motionless.

There was a rush of excitement between the man's eyebrows, which was difficult to suppress, and he walked forward quickly.

But after a few steps, the man seemed to remember something, stopped, and was embarrassed.

As if to test his thoughts, he ran a few more steps forward.

As a result, it suddenly seemed to be worried and stopped.

And so on and so forth.

Such a tangled appearance provoked several people who were observing in the dark to be worried all the time.

Finally, the man stumbled into the pavilion, looking at the familiar back, and couldn't open his mouth for a while.

I don't know if it's because of my thoughts, or if I'm too shocked.

just froze in place, staring at the woman's graceful figure stupidly, in a daze.

The woman seemed to feel the burning gaze, smiled, and turned around with great grace, but did not dare to move her gaze to the face of the visitor, but only patrolled at the visitor's feet.

"Applejack~"

The gentle voice evokes the deep thoughts buried in the bottom of my heart.

"Ring... Huan'er, is it really you? ....... already?"

The man who was called Applejack looked up in surprise when he heard the familiar voice of a oriole.

I thought it was my own longing and hallucination, but this hallucination is too real!

Even the excited man slapped himself hard to see if he was dreaming.

"Smack~"

With a crisp sound, accompanied by a burning pain spreading around his face, the man was finally convinced that it was not an illusion.

And the woman, who was not far away, was also surprised to see the man's actions of hurting herself so much.

Three steps and two steps, came to the man, trembled and stretched out a jade hand as delicate as a white magnolia, caressing the red marks on the man's face.

"Applejack, why are you so stupid? Huan'er is here! Does it hurt? Woowoo woo......

As she spoke, the woman began to cry bitterly.

The man ignored the woman's crying, took the woman into his arms, hugged each other tightly, as if he wanted to use all his strength to rub the woman into the blood and bones, and spent his whole life to embrace his beloved, and poured everything he could.

Only for the beautiful people on the side, since then mixed with the red dust.

The man couldn't control his tears for a while, and silently let the tears wet his clothes.

For a few days, the pain of burning my heart was finally relieved by this belated embrace, and the bone-eating sadness was finally relieved by the fullness of my lover's arms.

The dark blue clothes that originally melted into the night looked so quiet and remote under the outline of the moonlight at this time.

"Huan'er, didn't your mother say that you were missing that day?"

The man who finally came back from the joy of meeting restrained his emotions, widened the distance between the two, and said with a frown.

"Applejack, let's not talk about that, okay? Let's go, I'll take you somewhere first. ”

The woman smiled skillfully and avoided the man's question.

"Hmm!"

The man had already been carried away by the joy of his regain, and without thinking about it, he complied with the woman's request.

Perhaps it was this feeling of loss and recovery that made it difficult for him to refrain from the woman's request.

Or maybe it's this indescribable happiness that makes people stop thinking!

He took the woman's hand and led him out of the pavilion in the direction she had been directed.

The two of them went up the river in Longquan Town, the only river in Longquan Town.

Coming to the place of Longquan Stone Forest, a pair of beautiful people stand at the source of the river.

The woman is not very shy, she wants to say something, and she looks like she wants to say something.

But at this moment, something happened that caught everyone off guard, and they didn't even give time to react.

The man had just stood still, and before he could open his mouth to ask what the woman had brought him here, he had brought him here.

I just felt like I had been hit by some spell, and in a very short time, my feet began to petrify, and I wanted to shout, but I never had a chance.

Soon, a stone statue appeared in front of the woman who hired Tingting.

The woman's willow eyebrows were locked together, covering her mouth with her hands, and her expression was stunned.

The people who followed all the way secretly were also very stunned, and they all looked at each other.

It came so suddenly that I didn't understand what was going on.

After all, things are going better than they could have imagined.

Originally, in Qinjiang's plan, he wanted Zhen Di to use a spell to transform into the appearance of the missing woman, and bring the strange man to the Longquan Stone Forest, in order to know their past, so as to speculate whether the reason for the woman's disappearance was related to this man, or if there was someone else.

Unexpectedly, before the words were asked, the source of evidence was cut off, which was an unexpected thing.

Just when Zhen Di, who used the disguise technique to transform into a woman's appearance, didn't know what to do, there was a situation that caught people even more off guard.

"Heh~ This world is really strange and strange, people who have died can come back from the dead? Aren't you afraid of going against the sky and incurring the curse of God? Hahaha......"

The stone forest, which was obviously empty, actually came out with a cold voice, and in this gloomy night, there was really a bit of a terrifying atmosphere.

"Who is it?"

Zhen Di secretly speculated about the source of this voice and the skills of the other party, but found nothing.

However, Zhen Di also knew that the person who came was not good, and the other party should have mostly known that he had used the disguise technique, so he simply didn't want to continue to dwell on this topic, so he restored his original appearance and talked to him.

"Oh, it's still a handsome son, hahaha......"

After hearing Zhen Di's voice, and secretly seeing Zhen Di's face, the tone of the voice suddenly became high and sharp, and the laughter became more and more creepy.

"Who is Your Excellency?

Zhen Di, who has excellent conduct and cultivation, never got angry, but calmly asked the other party to show his true face.

Now, Zhen Di really admires the rigor of Qinjiang's thinking.

Indeed, the enemy is in the dark, and he is in the light, and the opportunity to strike first has been lost.

At this time, in the secret Qinjiang, the ring on his body has been trembling slightly, as if he is afraid of something.

Qin Jiang secretly felt that maybe something had happened to Mengyu, but given the current situation, it was really difficult to deal with. I had to use the technique of spiritual communication to temporarily calm Meng Yu's restlessness.

Just when Zhen Di was on guard, a thick black mist, like a ghost, was suspended on Zhen Di's head, but Zhen Di was unaware.

However, in the dark Qinjiang, he immediately sensed that unusually thick black mist.

"Hmph, it's a good means, relying on the dark night as a cover, it's really hard to detect......

The thick black mist circled around Zhen Di a few times, as if to appreciate the appearance of this bull's nose on guard, and let out a contemptuous sigh imperceptibly.

But it was such a gentle sigh that made Zhen Di's already tense nerves even tighter, and the hairs on his body stood up one after another.

After all, this strange situation is the first time Zhen Di has encountered it.

In the past, no matter how powerful the opponent was, he was also clubbed in front of him, so he was mentally prepared.

Now I don't even know who my opponent is, so it's really tricky.

"Cut! A layman, a useless talent. It's still a good son, he is young, but he is a good material, but he is really a good material!"

The thick black mist first drifted over the man named Applejack, and spun left and right, as if he was very disgusted.

Instead, he returned to the top of Zhen Di's head.

The terrifying voice sounded in Zhen Di's ears again, it seemed that the distance between them was unusually close, and Zhen Di felt a strong sense of suffocation.

However, now Zhen Di also roughly understands why the missing woman only had time to scream, and the person disappeared.

Judging from the condition of this monster, it just verifies the previous idea.

"What do you want?"

Zhen Di settled down and said lightly.

"What do you want? If you want to know, go and ask Hades!hahahaha......

After the thick black mist finished speaking, there was another burst of wild laughter.

Then, in the same way, petrified Zhen Di.

Zhen Di immediately let down all his guards and allowed the monster to petrify itself.

As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger.

If you don't find out what this monster is doing, how can you get rid of this monster?

The thick black mist immediately enveloped Zhen Di from top to bottom, and slowly the mist turned into a jet-black whirlpool, from the bottom up, and swept away for a while.

Zhen Di was completely petrified.

The thick black mist floated above Zhen Di's head again, staring at his masterpiece, seemingly very satisfied, and let out a chilling laugh.

"Hahaha... Stinky Taoist, come with me to the asbestos cave. Such a pure cultivation must be quite delicious!hahaha......."

After the thick black mist finished speaking, it immediately swept away Zhen Di, who had no power to resist after being petrified, like a black whirlwind.

Several people who were secretly staring at Zhen Di's situation immediately followed and chased after him.

The thick black mist knew everything about any part of the Longquan Stone Forest, so it was wrapped in the petrified Zhen Di, shuttling left and right in the stone forest, as if to prevent someone from following.

After going around and around, I came to a stone wall that resembled a city gate, and silently recited the Dharma.

At first, the stone wall was silent as if it did not exist, and then it shook as the Dharma was recited continuously, and then slowly moved upward.

Soon, a stone cave was revealed.

The thick black mist flashed into the stone cave, and then triggered the mechanism and closed the stone door.

A few people in the dark hid their figures, and at the moment when the stone door closed, they squeezed into the asbestos cave in the mouth of the thick black mist.

The asbestos cave is not as eerie as everyone thinks, cold and damp. On the contrary, the asbestos cave was full of burning torches, and the fire lit the whole cave warmly, and the sparks were constantly swaying due to the vibration of the air.

It can be seen that most of the asbestos caves have undergone special transformation, and there are many passages in the holes, with nine twists and eighteen bends, like a sheep's intestine path, with seven twists and turns.

If there is no special guidance, you will definitely get lost here, so that you will not be able to get out, and you will die here.

In order to avoid being discovered, Qinjiang and his party followed the thick black mist not far away.

The thick black mist moved very quickly, and he came to the central palace room of the stone cave with ease, and threw the petrified Zhen Di on the soft couch on the side.

When he arrived at this central palace room, Qin Jiang immediately found that the reason why the cave was so warm was completely dependent on this central palace room. In the central palace room, there is a quaint alchemy furnace, although this alchemy furnace looks old. However, if you look closely, you will find that the traces of that age are all deliberate, perhaps to give people an illusion.

The closer you get to the alchemy furnace, the more you can feel its terrifying temperature. In addition, this central palace is not large, and the heat is very concentrated.

Soon, Zhen Zheng, who was in the dark, felt that his breathing was a little unstable, and his chest was stuffy, as if he was in the scorching heat, which was very unbearable.

The thick black mist reached his lair, and he finally turned into a physical entity.

The thick black mist gradually sank to the ground, and the original dark black color slowly dispersed.

A man dressed in black and wearing black boots appeared in the central palace.

It's just that it doesn't match the black outfit very well, and it's the white hair.

For some reason, even this person's eyebrows are gray.

However, his face looks like he is just a man who is not confused.

When Qin Jiang saw this man, he suddenly felt very strange, as if this person was a strange contradiction all over his body.
