Chapter 6 Leaving the Dust

Jiang Jianqiu held the spirit sword in his hand and met the last wolf howl impact from the wolf king head-on. I saw a little crystal sword rush into the center of the storm, and then it erupted with a loud bang. Frantic air currents spread out from the intersection of the two, and stones flew on the ground, and dust flew all over the sky, and for a time the entire field was filled with smoke and dust, and it was impossible to see.

Ling Shengxue sat in the back, her sleeves rattling in the fierce wind. Large and small gravel flew in front of her, and she looked at the center of the storm fixedly, with a rare look of anxiety in her eyes. Perhaps only in this critical moment will this cold little girl on weekdays reveal her true emotions in her heart.

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and faintly saw a figure standing beside the wolf king, Ling Shengxue wanted to stand up and go over to see what was going on, but she didn't want to get together, and her legs were weak and she sat back on the ground again. "Don't move!" Jiang Jianqiu's voice came from afar. A gust of wind blew away the last wisps of smoke and dust, and the situation of the entire venue was finally unobstructed.

The Golden-Maned Wolf King was lying on the ground, completely motionless. A sword pierced deep into the wolf king's right eye, sinking into the handle, and blood splattered down the wound. Jiang Jianqiu stood on the edge of the huge wolf's head, he looked like a wolf at the moment, half of his clothes had been blown away by the storm, and his right shoulder was exposed at this moment, and his body was crisscrossed with blood marks, and it seemed that he could no longer find a good place. However, these wounds should be scratches from the rubble blown by the storm, but there are no serious wounds.

Jiang Jianqiu pulled out the sword from the head of the wolf who was a head taller than himself with both hands, and reflexively returned to Ling Shengxue's side. Without saying a word, first hold her right hand and help her reset the dislocated arm. After that, Jiang Jianqiu frowned again and said: "Although the power of Chonglou's divine power is huge, the defects are also obvious, and the burden on the body to improve one's own cultivation against the sky is too heavy, and it will be difficult to sustain if one blow misses." You should still use it with caution in the future. ”

Ling Shengxue couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous when she saw that her senior brother, who was usually very arrogant, was so nagging at the moment. She whispered, "I know, but I can't care about that much in a hurry." ”

Although Jiang Jianqiu had always known that his junior sister was very stubborn, he couldn't help but be a little angry at the moment, and said: "I knew this, I should have burned that broken book directly in that broken temple, and you should learn these inexplicable magical powers!"

Ling Shengxue pursed her lips secretly, thinking in her heart that if it weren't for this secret book back then, you and I would have been buried in that ancient temple in the wilderness.

"Senior brother, now that the head of the pack of wolves has been killed, the rest should not be a problem. I still need to regulate the spiritual power in my body, and you can go into the cave alone and bring out the kidnapped children. In addition, the black-haired wolf also has to stay, these ordinary demon wolves are too low to communicate, and they also need it to make a message. Jiang Jianqiu thought that there were indeed a lot of serious things to be done in front of him, not when he was chatting here. He checked that Ling Shengxue was indeed okay, and then took his sword and went into the cave to search.

Ling Shengxue sat in place, quietly watching the bright sword light in Jiang Jianqiu's hand gradually disappear into the depths of the cave. In fact, she didn't know that Chonglou's supernatural power absorbed the spiritual energy outside the body to forcibly raise her own realm, which had a great backlash on the body, and was not suitable for use against the enemy alone, so since she learned this supernatural power, she had only used it a few times. And the only few times she used it were all when she faced a strong enemy with her senior brother, that is, only when Jiang Jianqiu was present as a support, she dared to give it a go.

However, with Jiang Jianqiu's arrogant temperament, it is difficult to say that he will notice these details. Looking at the dark entrance of the cave, the corners of Ling Shengxue's mouth were slightly upturned, as if she was smiling faintly, and then she calmly focused all her mind on straightening out the meridians and spiritual power in her body.

Ling Shengxue sat cross-legged and guided the aura in her body to run for a week, reorganizing and correcting the disordered meridians everywhere, and it took a long time before she opened her eyes. At this moment, her body has returned to normal, and only the muscles in her right arm are still a little sore. At the same time, there was a commotion in the depths of the cave, and after a while, it was Jiang Jianqiu who led more than ten seven or eight-year-old children out.

Ling Shengxue got up and greeted him and asked, "How is the situation in the cave?" Jiang Jianqiu saw that his junior sister's health seemed to be fine, and his mood was much better, and while directing these children to line up, he said: "The cave is very deep, and the few remaining demon wolves were all scared away by me, and I found these children in the wolf king's lair, and they should not have been injured." ”

Ling Shengxue saw that this group of children looked dumb, it was estimated that they were taken away by wolves overnight and frightened, so she took out some mountain fruits prepared before and sent them to everyone to eat, these children had not eaten for a whole day, and now they had something to eat and finally sobered up, but they began to cry instead. Ling Shengxue and Jiang Jianqiu were busy comforting them for a long time, and finally stopped the crying of these children.

Seeing that the children's love was stable, Jiang Jianqiu walked to Ling Shengxue's side and whispered: "I also searched carefully in the cave, but I didn't find any clues, it seems that this is just a group of ordinary wolf demons, there should be nothing abnormal, I don't know what their purpose is to rob this group of children." ”

Ling Shengxue's brows furrowed slightly, she still felt that this matter was not so simple as it seemed, she thought about it and said, "I'm afraid that there are other forces lurking behind this wolf pack, but now that the wolf king is dead, I'm afraid I won't get much usable information." Now that it's getting almost afternoon, let's send the children back to the village first. Otherwise, once it gets dark, it will be difficult to ensure their safety in this dense forest. Jiang Jianqiu also nodded in agreement. He turned to the dark cavern and shouted, "Come out!"

A low muffled howl from the cavern seemed to respond to his call. Then a tall fierce wolf came out of the hole, and it was the one who led the wolves to wash the village in Sanhuai Village before. Jiang Jianqiu said: "This beast is the highest one in the Dao line among the remaining demon wolves, and it is not far from the earth-level demon beast. I tried it in the cave just now, and it could roughly understand what we were saying, so I brought it out and asked again. With that, he walked to the huge black wolf at the entrance of the cave, stretched out his hand and patted the wolf's head, as if he were stroking a loving horse, and smiled and said, "Dahei, there is something I want to ask you." The black wolf shuddered, it seemed that it had just been mistreated in the cave, and now it cowered like a frightened rabbit in the face of this human boy who was not as tall as himself.

Jiang Jianqiu continued: "Did you attack the village this time just to catch these children back?" The black wolf stared at a pair of wolf eyes and nodded. Jiang Jianqiu continued to ask, "Who is the one who told you to catch the child?" The black wolf blinked, and then let out a low howl at the corpse of the wolf king in the distance.

Jiang Jianqiu frowned slightly, and said, "Did the wolf king order it?" Then do you know what its purpose is to catch the child?" The black wolf was stunned for a moment, and finally shook his head. Jiang Jianqiu couldn't help but be a little discouraged when he saw this, it seemed that his efforts were in vain, and he couldn't ask anything useful.

Ling Shengxue walked up to the black wolf from behind and said, "Then have you had any contact with any other demon clans recently?" The black wolf lowered his head and sniffed the ground when he heard this, and suddenly let out a long howl, then turned around and ran into the cave. Ling Shengxue was stunned for a moment, thinking that this wolf was scared away by herself. A moment later, a black shadow flashed at the entrance of the cave, and the black wolf ran out again. I saw it walk up to Ling Shengxue with something in its mouth, put the thing in its mouth on the ground, and then took two steps back.

Jiang Jianqiu stared at it, and the thing on the ground was a bunch of withered flowers, the petals of this flower were divided into green and yellow, and the style was quite unique. The scene in front of him was a little confusing, a vicious wolf demon brought a bouquet of flowers to a young girl, Jiang Jianqiu frowned on the side, and said to the black wolf: "You beast doesn't take a fancy to my junior sister, I can understand your feelings." But the two of you come from too different backgrounds, and I don't think there's any hope for this......"

"Senior brother!" Ling Shengxue interrupted Jiang Jianqiu's nonsense and asked the black wolf, "Does this bouquet have anything to do with the people who came to visit you before?" the black wolf nodded and raised his head and howled. Jiang Jianqiu was even more confused when he heard this, scratched his head and said, "Do demon beasts still like these flowers and plants, this is the first time I've heard of it." Ling Shengxue's face was a little gloomy at the moment, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she looked at the withered two-color flowers on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Senior brother, I know this flower, it is a dust flower." ”

"Lichen Flower?" Jiang Jianqiu showed a thoughtful look and said, "This name sounds very familiar, Lichen Flower ......" Ling Shengxue nodded indifferently and said, "Last year, I traveled with my father-in-law, and I saw a two-color strange flower in the depths of Tangyin Mountain. At that time, I picked a bunch and brought it back to Huaishan, which was this dust flower. Jiang Jianqiu slapped his forehead and said, "Yes! I remember that it was then that I heard you talk about this dusty flower." Speaking of which, you and Master were going to ...... at that time."

Halfway through speaking, Jiang Jianqiu's brows suddenly twisted into a figure of eight, and he said awkwardly as if he had a whole bun in his mouth: "Worry-free Valley......"

Ling Shengxue nodded and said, "This strange flower only grows in the Valley of Forgotten Worries. Sanssouci Valley is hundreds of miles away from here, this dust flower will not appear here for no reason, Sanssouci Valley is the territory of the snake demon to forget his worries. This matter is inseparable from the forgetting of worries. ”

Jiang Jianqiu's whole person suddenly seemed to be deflated, and said weakly: "That forgetting worries is a great demon at the peak of the Heavenly Order, and it is only one step away from condensing the Golden Pill, and the two of you and I together are not enough for her to see." Moreover, she is a demon cultivator who has turned into a human form, which is different from these muddy demon beasts, and she is not the same in terms of spiritual intelligence or supernatural powers! How could she do such a thing for no reason, isn't she afraid of provoking a big war between the two races of human and demons?"

Ling Shengxue shook her head and said, "It's not clear, but turning into a human form doesn't mean that those who forget their worries will think from the standpoint of the human race." ”

Jiang Jianqiu scratched his head with both hands, and said with a headache: "Then what should I do, the two of us rushed to the Valley of Forgotten Worries to investigate the situation? ”

Ling Shengxue shook her head and said, "This matter is beyond your ability and mine, but fortunately, there is no need to have a head-on conflict with Sanssouci Valley at this time, let's send the children back to the village first, and then rush back to the master to report to their father-in-law, and let his old man come forward to deal with this matter." ”

Jiang Jianqiu nodded, he also felt that this was very good, Ling Shengxue's father-in-law was his master and the head of the Huaishan faction. Although the Huaishan Sect is a small sect with no name and no name, the head of the sect, Ling Nanzi, is a Jindan Realm immortal, and he is also known as a prestige in the entire Central Continent. If he takes action, he will naturally no longer be afraid of forgetting worries.

The plan was set, and all that remained was to send the children back to the village. Jiang Jianqiu walked up to the black wolf, patted its head, smiled and approached the black wolf's ear and said, "Da Hei, we're done asking all the questions we want to ask, for the sake of your cooperation, I will spare your wolf life today." Now, just do one more thing for us......"

Looking at Jiang Jianqiu smiling in front of him, the black wolf suddenly felt a chill in the depths of his heart, and he shivered excitedly, whimpering and burying the wolf's head in the thick mane.
