Chapter 1: Assassination

After a while, Zeng Shushu and the others recovered from their shock, and the three of them glanced at each other, and they all saw an incomparable shock in each other's eyes. But the difference between them is that the eyes of Lu Xueqi and Wen Min are a little more panicked and confused.

This secret, which only a few disciples of Da Zhu Feng and Xiao Zhu Feng knew, and was strictly ordered by Dao Xuan Zhenren several times in private, was it still leaked?

Unlike Wen Min and Lu Xueqi, Zeng Shushu, who didn't know about the damage of the 'Zhuxian Ancient Sword', was even more surprised by the news itself, but when he came back to his senses, he laughed and said with a relaxed smile: "Uncle Yun, why did you make a joke about our three juniors, I was almost scared to death by you just now." That Zhuxian Ancient Sword is the supreme treasure of Qingyunmen, and it is kept by the master of the sect himself, where can it be damaged......!

In the laughter, Zeng Shushu kept shaking his head and laughing, and turned his head to look at the two companions beside him, wanting to see how they laughed at this ridiculous rumor, but after he turned his head, the smile on his face was slightly stiff Lu Xueqi and Wen Min did not have the slightest smile on their faces, on the contrary, the two women frowned, and their faces seemed to be a little pale.

Above the hall, only Zeng Shushu's laughter echoed, and it quickly lowered.

Yun Yilan smiled slightly, and said, "It turned out to be a rumor! That's the best, otherwise the Immortal Ancient Sword will be damaged, and it will really be a big event that will shock the world." ’

Lu Xueqi suddenly took a step forward and said coldly to Yun Yilan: "Uncle Yun, of course this matter is a false rumor and is not credible, but I don't know such despicable rumors, how did the seniors know about such despicable rumors?"

After speaking, Lu Xueqi's voice became colder and colder, and she sounded faintly rude.

But Yun Yilan's cultivation seems to be very good, and he doesn't care about Lu Xueqi's attitude at all, but he still waved his hand with his kind attitude, and said: "Actually, this rumor has only spread here in Southern Xinjiang recently, and I overheard what the disciples below said, so I expected that most of them were untrue. Think about it, with the supernatural powers of Senior Brother Daoxuan, how could such a nonsense thing happen? However, when several teachers and nephews came, the old man asked by the way, and learned from the three of them that it was indeed a rumor, and the old man was really very happy in his heart......!

Lu Xueqi and the other three all frowned slightly, how could this kind of thing be asked 'casually' in public, not to mention that Yun Yilan's identity was not trivial, how could she ask such a roadside gossip rumor in person. After thinking about it, I was afraid that he had other ideas.

In Yun Yilan's laughter, the three of Qingyunmen were silent, Lu Xueqi's face was like frost, cold and not like a person in the world, but the gaze in a pair of eyes seemed to be getting sharper and sharper, and Wen Min's face was also extremely unsightly.

Zeng Shushu was sleek after all, but he saw that the atmosphere in the field was getting more and more embarrassing, so he hurriedly coughed, stood up in front of Lu Xueqi, and arched his hand: "Uncle Yun, the division commanders sent me and others to come to Southern Xinjiang to track the traces of beasts and demons, I don't know if you have any clues to tell us, so as not to let us run around." ’

Yun Yilan glanced at Zeng Shushu and nodded slightly, but did not speak, and glanced behind her.

Li Xun understood, took a step forward, and said to Zeng Shushu: "Senior Brother Zeng, under Li Xun, during this period, I will be a guide here in southern Xinjiang and ...... for you."

'Hmph!' A cold snort with a slight anger came from the side before Li Xun could finish speaking.

Li Xun was speechless, and his face became difficult to look at.

Fortunately, Wen Min was clever and hurriedly smiled: "Senior Brother Li, there is no need to trouble you about this, some of us have been to Southern Xinjiang before, and we still know some roads." ’

Li Xun took a deep breath, glanced at the white-clothed figure next to him out of the corner of his eye, the corners of his mouth moved, and suddenly all the anger seemed to disappear, just sighed lightly, and said with a wry smile: "This senior sister, it's not that I don't care about it, it's just that the Rì Sect has tracked down the news of the missing beast god. ’

As soon as these words came out, Lu Xueqi, Zeng Shushu, and Wen Min were moved.

Zeng Shushu said happily: 'Is this true?'

Li Xun nodded and said, "That's good." In any case, the Incense Valley has hundreds of years of foundation and connections in southern Xinjiang, and it is still better known than other outsiders. After that, he glanced at Lu Xueqi again, intentionally or unintentionally, Lu Xueqi's face was indifferent and turned his head away.

Zeng Shushu asked, 'Where is the beast god at the moment?'

Li Xun said, "According to our information, the demon has escaped into the depths of the strange and deep 100,000 mountains and is heading towards his lair. ’

Zeng Shushu and the others were stunned and said, '100,000 mountains?'

Li Xun nodded and said: "Exactly, I don't need to say it there, you must have heard of it a long time ago, it is dangerous and strange, mysterious and unpredictable, and it is where several extremely vicious places in the world are." Originally, if you hadn't come, I was about to lead a group of juniors and disciples to set off to look for the 100,000 mountains, and this time the three of them came, wouldn't it be better for everyone to walk together?

After saying that, he sneered twice.

Zeng Shushu frowned, glanced at Wen Min and Lu Xueqi behind him, and said, "Senior Brother Li, stay away, the three of us will discuss for a while." ’

Li Xun nodded and said, "Everyone, please." ’

Zeng Shushu and the three of them stepped aside and spoke in a low voice, judging from Li Xun, most of the time it was Zeng Shushu who was talking, sometimes Wen Min interjected two sentences, but Lu Xueqi didn't say a word, just shook his head silently, or nodded.

The woman in white, as if she would always be so beautiful and out of the dust, stood there quietly. Li Xun looked at Lu Xueqi from a distance, and seemed to be crazy for a while. At this moment, suddenly he was slapped on the shoulder, Li Xun was excited, he couldn't imagine that someone was so close that he couldn't find it, and hurriedly turned around, but it was Yun Yilan.

Li Xun's face turned red, and he said in a low voice: "Master, the disciple has lost his temper, is there something wrong?"

Yun Yilan glanced at Lu Xueqi, her face was expressionless, and she only said lightly: "Don't forget the burden on your body. ’

Li Xun's body was shocked, and he said in a low voice, "The disciple knows. ’

Yun Yilan nodded and said, "You take care of them, I'll go first." After that, he didn't say hello to the three of Qingyunmen, and left by himself.

Li Xun watched Yun Yilan's figure disappear at the door of the back hall of the Mountain and River Palace, his heart was mixed, and his face seemed to be uncertain.

At this time, Zeng Shushu and the three of them seemed to have discussed and walked back.

Zeng Shushu walked over with a smile and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Li, the three of us have said that we will ...... this time Hey, where is Uncle Yun?'

Li Xun said apologetically: "The family teacher has something to do temporarily, and seeing that the three of them are discussing, he ordered him not to disturb him, and he went first." Where it is rude, look at Haihan. ’

Zeng Shushu hurriedly said: "Where is it, we are too rude, if there is something wrong just now, please Senior Brother Li must reply to Uncle Yun, we are juniors, we don't know the number of etiquette, we don't know the height of the sky, don't care about it." ’

Hearing Zeng Shushu's words float out of their mouths like strings of flowing water, Lu Xueqi and Wen Min's faces were a little embarrassed, but Zeng Shushu was calm and did not look embarrassed at all.

Li Xun also smiled and nodded, and said no more, but said, "What is the result of those discussions?"

Zeng Shushu arched his hand and said, "I'm going to trouble Senior Brother Li this time." ’

Li Xun swept by the joy on his face, and replied: "Where and where, we are a righteous family, and it should be so." As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Xueqi, then took it back, coughed, and said, "But the 100,000 Mountains are dangerous places after all, and you still need to prepare in advance." Let me start by talking to a few people about some things that need to be noted. ’

Zeng Shushu said with a smile: "There is Senior Brother Lao Li. As he spoke, he turned around and beckoned, saying, "Two senior sisters, come and listen together." ’

Lu Xueqi frowned, and seemed to be a little reluctant, but she was pulled by Wen Min next to her and walked over.

A low voice echoed in the temple of mountains and rivers......

In the depths of the 100,000 Great Mountain, leaving the last trace of darkness and stepping over the last crooked old tree, Ghost Li and Jin Zhu'er finally walked out of this black forest. Outside the forest, this rì was a rare warm sunshine in the 100,000 mountains, shining warmly, brushing their bodies, falling on those twisted trees, but it still couldn't shine into the mysterious and solemn forest.

Jin Bei'er opened her arms, although she had been here once, but walking out of this forest still made her feel relieved. Indeed, if you walk in a forest full of poisonous insects and rain, no one will be in a good mood.

Standing outside the forest, it is like inhaling the breath in the body, and it is much warmer and more comfortable. After taking a deep breath of satisfaction, Jin Bei'er turned his head to look at Ghost Li, only to see that Ghost Li's face, who had just walked out of the Black Forest, could clearly see a relieved look in the indifference as usual.

After a slight pause and rest, the ghost looked up into the distance, in the rare good weather, the field of vision was wide, and the distance seemed to be endless mountains, the mountains were undulating, one after the other, until the far line of sight was extreme, and there was no end in sight.

The ghost changed slightly, and Jin Bei'er walked to his side, glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Why, I didn't expect the Badlands in Southern Xinjiang to be so vast, right? ’

Ghost Li looked into the distance, lingered in the figure of the mountains, and said lightly: "How far is the Demon Suppression Ancient Cave you said?"

Jin Bei'er smiled coquettishly, took two steps, looked at the endless mountains in front of the ghost for a while, and then stretched out his hand, pointing to one of the peaks that looked strangely scorched black from the top of the mountain, and said, "Do you see that black sè peak?" ’

The ghost raised his eyes and saw that very strange peak, in the distance, there seemed to be no sunlight at all, on the contrary, it was always shrouded in a faint black mist, showing a bit of mystery.

Ghost Li nodded and said, "Then let's go!"

After that, he walked forward, but the golden bottle did not move, and still stood in place.

Ghost Li walked a few steps, felt that the golden bottle did not follow, slightly surprised, turned to look, and said, "What's wrong?"

Jin Bei'er gave him a blank look, but even that strange look, in the warm and warm sunshine, was a little enchanting, "You are naturally a powerful character, but it's a pity that the person in front of you is a weak woman, and now she can't walk." ’

Ghost Li said lightly: "The number of women in the world is counted, and it is not your turn to be a weak woman." ’

Jin Bei'er smiled, but was not angry, and sat down next to him to find a dry stone.

Although Ghost Li didn't take Jin Bei'er's words seriously, he also felt that in this strange black forest, the two of them had indeed not rested well, and they no longer insisted on continuing to hurry, but also sat down not far from Jin Bei'er.

The monkey Xiao Gray, who had been lying on his shoulder, squeaked twice, and seemed to suddenly wake up from the grief, and suddenly came the god jīng, jumped from the ghost to the ground, looked around, the three eyes blinked, and then the tail cocked, swished into the grass next to him, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The golden bottle glanced in the direction it was going, and said, 'There is danger everywhere here, and your monkey is running around, aren't you afraid of any accidents?'

Ghost Li shook his head and said, "It's okay, even if something happens to the two of us, that guy will be fine alone." ’

Jin Bei'er smiled and smiled: "What a person, it's obviously a monkey!"

Ghost Li glanced at the golden bottle's jade-like face, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a faint smile, and then his eyes turned to the direction where Xiao Ash was going, and said slowly: "In my heart, it is much better than countless people in the world. ’

Jin Zhu'er looked at his slightly pale face, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared. She looked at Ghost Li thoughtfully, but Ghost Li seemed to frown, and her face sank suddenly.

Perhaps, he suddenly found himself saying something in front of others, right?

Jin Bei'er has always been an extremely smart woman, but she is by no means one of those quiet and dignified ladies in the world, she quietly looked at the ghost's face, the eyes were as soft as water, but under her gaze, the face was becoming more and more ugly.

Just when the embarrassment was getting stronger and stronger, and the ghost's brows were furrowing more and more, Jin Zhu'er suddenly said, "What's wrong with you?"

The ghost was stunned and said, 'What?'

Jin Bei'er looked at him, his face seemed to be smiling, but there seemed to be another meaning in his eyes, and he said softly: "You seem to be a little uncomfortable?"

Ghost coughed and said, "No. ’

As if she hadn't heard his answer, Jin Bei'er said to herself, "Is it that in front of a woman like me, you suddenly said something in your heart that made you feel a little embarrassed?"

The ghost face instantly turned cold, but before he could speak, Jin Bei'er had already continued: "In the past ten years, especially after the Baguio accident, you have never been alone with a woman for so long, right?

Ghost Li stared at the golden bottle, his gaze had become cold, and he said coldly: "What do you mean by these words, and why do you mention Baguio?"

In his cold gaze, which seemed to be able to kill, Jin Bei'er did not show any fear and flinch, on the contrary, she smiled slightly, but there seemed to be a provocation in her eyes, there was a hidden excitement, her eyes flashed, and she said, "You are afraid, right?"

The ghost got up and said angrily: "What am I afraid of! If you talk nonsense again, you will not be polite......

'You're afraid you've forgotten Baguio!' Jin Bei'er suddenly raised her voice, as crisp as breaking ice and cutting snow, and inserted into the invisible place between the two.

Ghost Li's mouth suddenly froze when he opened his angry mouth, and he couldn't make any sound, as if he had been hit by someone. Jin Bei'er also fell silent suddenly, and in the shouting voice that seemed to be still echoing around the clear voice, the world around him suddenly fell silent, without the slightest sound.

At this time, the sky was blue, and the mountains in the distance were undulating, as if the wind was blowing from the sky, and the trees and grass began to rattle.

It's already early afternoon. The wind blew across his face and hair.

The sun became more languid, and the two men faced each other silently, and no one spoke.

Jin Bei'er looked at the man in front of him, and his eyes kept shining with something, like pity, and like a sneer.

After a while, she stretched out her hand and gently pulled a strand of hair from her forehead blown down by the wind behind her ear, and her voice became softer, and she said lightly: "For that feeling, now you can't even believe yourself, are you afraid that you will forget her inadvertently?"

Her smile seemed faint, like a wildflower swaying in the wind, 'Suppressing herself with all her might, reminding herself from time to time, who in the world knows that the first general of the Ghost King Sect, who everyone is afraid of, is such a poor person?'

The expression on Ghost Li's face changed, blue and white, and suddenly he took a long breath, looked up at the sky, held his breath for a moment, and then slowly spit it out. When he looked back again, his face was as calm as usual, and there was no trace of sadness or joy, just indifference.

'Who are you to say so about me, and what about yourself?' he was faint, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, as if he had forgotten for a moment the gaffe.

Jin Bei'er smiled and said, "I, I'm nothing, just a woman who is with you now!"

Ghost Li ignored the faint thorn in her words, and turned his head, at this time, the grass next to him suddenly split, and the gray shadow flashed, but it was Xiao Gray who jumped out, and jumped back to Ghost Li two or three times. If you look closely, you can see that the monkey is slowly grasping a number of wild fruits in his hands, and even his mouth is still chewing, no wonder he didn't hear the familiar 'squeak' sound just now.

Ghost Li picked it up, spread out his hand, and the little gray cracked his mouth and smiled, and put the wild fruit he picked in the palm of Ghost Li's hand. I saw that the wild fruit was red, very cute, although it was not very large, but it looked full of fruit, very attractive.

Ghost Li took one and put it in his mouth, took two bites, only to feel that although the taste was slightly green, it was juicy and sweet, but it was a rare and good product.

Nodding, he divided a few out, glanced at the golden bottle, handed it over, and said, "Little Gray is born with the ability to recognize poison, and the wild fruits it picks are all edible. ’

The golden bottle didn't follow immediately, his eyes turned around the hand stretched out in front of him, and suddenly smiled and said, "You share and eat with me like this, don't you have any scruples in your heart?"

Ghost frowned, snorted, flipped his palm into a fist, and shrunk back.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Jin Bei'er suddenly stretched out his arm, grabbed his hand, and said with a smile: "I want it, I want to ...... it."

Ghost Li's face changed slightly, looked at the golden bottle, and slowly unfolded his fingers, revealing those wild fruits.

The soft palm skin, far away, has a faint trace of breath, wafting in the wind. Jin Bei'er's gaze at this moment seemed to be suddenly soft like water waves, flowing gently and softly, stretching out his long white and slender fingers, and picking up those wild fruits from the palm of the ghostly hand one by one.

The slender nails seem to pass inadvertently on the rough skin of the palms, warm and cold.

She stared at the man in front of her, gently and slowly let go of her hand, then smiled, took a wild fruit and put it in her mouth, ate it a few times, and said with a smile: 'It's delicious!'

Her smile is the most delicate flower of this afternoon, and it is moving.

Ghost Li looked at her and didn't say a word.

Jin Bei'er's smile became more and more coquettish, and she smiled: "What's the matter, don't say a word, like a nerd......

Ghost Li looked at the golden bottle and smiled, but his face was silent at all, but after a moment, he suddenly said: "The Purple Mang Blade and even the yīn evil magic weapon, you can cultivate it to the point of 'Na yīn Gui Yuan', and it is really remarkable that it is integrated with your own qi veins. ’

'Poof', the few wild fruits in Jin Bei'er's hand burst instantly, and before even the juice in them was splashed, they were frozen into ice cubes by the strange cold air that suddenly emanated and fell to the ground.

Jin Bei'er's face that was still smiling and gentle a moment ago, instantly lost his smile, his eyes were like knives, staring deeply at the ghost.

Ghost Li didn't seem to feel it at all, and said lightly: "It's just that although you are a pure yīn body, and you are communicating with the purple mangblade spirit, but the cold yīn qi is too strong, and the lonely yīn is not long, but you are forced to practice, and the yīn qi enters the body, and all the meridian qi and blood are injured by it." The power of using this magic weapon is naturally extremely strong, but if you want to go to the next level and go further in your cultivation in the future, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult. ’

After speaking, he ignored the already ugly face of the golden bottle at the moment, turned to walk, and at the same time greeted him, and the monkey Xiao Gray, who was eating wild fruits on the side, jumped over to his shoulder a few times, and continued to walk towards the scorched black mountain peak in the distance.

Only Jin Zhu'er was left standing in place, looking at the back of the person who walked away, and slowly raised his right hand and looked silently. Under the sun, the white, slender and beautiful palm shimmered like transparent jade, but from the deepest part, although it was not obvious, you could still see a faint unnatural pale blue sè, like tiny blood vessels, distributed in the depths of the muscle texture.

Jin Zhu'er's face sank like water, and he suddenly snorted coldly, didn't say anything, and walked straight in the direction where the ghost was going. Lifting her feet, she slammed several wild fruits that had been frozen into ice cubes.
