When it was approaching, the sky gradually opened, and Xu Yan walked out of Qiu Yuanjin's tent wearing a bamboo hat before everyone got up, which undoubtedly caused the latter to roll his eyes, and Xu Yan couldn't help but be a little embarrassed about this.

But a quarter of an hour later, the sky was already very bright, and at this moment, Xu Yan saw that someone began to come out of the tent, but after finding that it was Bai Bing of the Qiuzi Sect, he nodded modestly, but did not say much, and then began to concentrate on himself.

It can be said that although he avoided the rain in Qiu Yuanjin's tent for nearly an hour and a half, he did not practice at all, perhaps because Qiu Yuanjin was sleeping on the side, which made him unable to calm down, so he had to take advantage of this time before everyone set off to quickly adjust his mental state, otherwise, if he sat with his eyes open for a night, even he couldn't help but have some trance in his eyes.

However, Xu Yan didn't know that Bai Bing, who was the first to walk out of the tent, actually didn't sleep all night, and even everything that happened to him last night was all seen by the latter, if it wasn't for the fact that it was not for his embarrassment, Bai Bing had actually walked out of the tent when the sky was dark.

Bai Bing glanced at Xu Yan not far away, and couldn't help but flash a hint of cunning on his face, but then he thought of someone again, and he became a little indignant.

An hour later, when the light finally dawned, everyone got up and put tents and other things into their storage bags, and then everyone took out some dry food to satisfy their hunger, and continued their journey to the mountain.

Today's weather, drizzling rain and mountain fog, undoubtedly made the already very bumpy and narrow mountain road more slippery and difficult to walk, and Xu Yan and they originally chose the most difficult road to walk, and the next trip was destined not to be too smooth. For example, about three hours later, Xu Yan and the others came to a place called the First Line Gorge.

The road is very narrow, the average width is about a foot, and on the far side of the road, there is a bottomless cliff, so when they pass through this gorge, they basically have to lean on the left side of the cliff to move slowly.

The first-line gorge is about three kilometers long, but it is such a not too long distance, but Xu Yan and the others can be described as walking on thin ice, trembling, because if anyone accidentally stumbles and falls off the cliff on the right, there must be no chance of being spared, after all, this is hundreds of zhang away from the valley under the cliff, if you fall, you will definitely fall into pieces.

After walking for an hour, all the people successfully passed this first-line gorge, and the whole team was headed by Chen Qinghe, and Xu Yan was the finale, so when everyone saw Xu Yan successfully take the last step, they felt relieved.

At this moment, Xu Yan and the others have been walking for almost four hours since today's hour, except for around noon, everyone has stopped to rest for about two quarters of an hour, and they are almost all walking non-stop. Chen Qinghe said to everyone with a smile: "Now that we have passed the first line of the gorge, we can be regarded as having passed the first difficult level, I know that all of you have worked hard today, but it is still early at this time, we had better hold on a little longer, and then camp for the night after arriving at Furong Gorge." ”

For Furong Gorge, Xu Yan knows, when he and Chen Qinghe returned to the sect from Huangmaojian before, they took this road, and there are still about seven or eight kilometers away from the first line of the gorge, according to their normal walking speed, half an hour is enough, but due to the influence of rain, time may have to be added a lot, so when they arrived at Furong Gorge, the sky finally turned to twilight.

Compared to last night's open-air mountain pass, Furong Gorge is undoubtedly more suitable for camping, under this canyon, there is a large area sunken in the huge cliff wall, and the rain will not fall into it at all, so they can undoubtedly raise a fire in the canyon to illuminate, or dry their wet robes, etc., but if there is anything bad about Furong Gorge, it is probably that this is very close to the deep mountain and old forest in the Hundred Mountains Ancestor, and it is said that there are often many spirit beasts at night.

Xu Yan still had no plans to camp tonight, since he wouldn't be caught by the rain, as far as he was concerned, as long as there was an open space where he could sit and cultivate.

So, after the disciples of the Lotus Sect were busy and had simply eaten dry food, everyone began to enter the tent to rest, but compared to yesterday, except for Xu Yan tonight, Chen Qinghe and Bai Bing had never entered the tent to rest.

Xu Yan glanced at them and immediately understood, obviously at night here, someone had to keep vigil.

In the end, the three people, who did not choose to sleep, gathered around a fire. Looking at the crackling sound of the charcoal in the fire, Xu Yan took the lead in breaking the silence and said, "Senior brother, senior brother has a request, I don't know if you can agree." ”

When Chen Qinghe heard this, he asked kindly, "I don't know what the little junior brother wants?"

Xu Yan said bluntly: "In the list of this spring hunt, wasn't I assigned to the Winter Character Sect by my master, but there are only two people in the Winter Character Sect, Senior Sister Qiu and me, presumably Senior Brother also knows that my situation this time is more or less dangerous, so I think, after we successfully arrive at the back mountain, can I let Senior Sister Qiu follow you to act." ”

When Chen Qinghe heard this, he smiled heartily and said: "What is the big deal in my Dao, of course there is no problem in this matter, besides, everyone is already the same disciple, and now it is time to unite with the outside world, our four factions should work together to advance and retreat, as long as Senior Sister Qiu is willing to follow us." ”

Xu Yan's heart was relieved, nodded and said, "Senior Sister Qiu, I have already discussed it with her in advance, then thank you Senior Brother." ”

Chen Qinghe just waved his hand at this, but asked, "What about you, junior brother?"

Xu Yan replied bluntly: "It's good for me to act alone." ”

Chen Qinghe frowned, but immediately relieved, nodded slightly, didn't say anything, and then turned to Bai Bing and asked, "Senior Brother Bai, I don't know what your Qiuzi Sect's disciples have planned?"

Bai Bing replied bluntly: "The first task of this spring hunt is to find the spirit grass 'Golden Hairpin Stone Orchid' in the mountain, because the number of this kind of grass is limited, I estimate that in the entire mountain, there will be no more than ten, and they grow in different positions, basically grow on the cliffs that are difficult to climb everywhere, if we want to come out on top, we must be responsible for finding on each cliff separately, otherwise if we gather the number of people together, it will be much slower than them in speed." ”

Chen Qinghe nodded and said: "What Senior Brother Bai said makes sense, since this is the case, then the disciples of my Xia Zi faction will form a team, your Qiu Zi faction will become a team, and the junior brother will act alone, as for Zhou Xian's gang, they are already very arrogant, and they should not act with us, so let them go." ”

When Xu Yan and Bai Bing heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and after seeing that they had no opinions with each other, they agreed to this proposal together.

......

Inside the Lotus Sect.

After struggling in her heart for two whole days, Bai Haijing finally left the Little Lotus Peak where she temporarily lived on this rainy night, and then quickly flew to the quiet courtyard on the main peak.

Zhao Bailian, who was far away from Ruoshui, naturally felt her arrival again, but this time he didn't stop him again, because he felt that since the experience he had two days ago, the other party was bound to change his original nervous attitude.

As Zhao Bailian expected, Bai Haijing didn't even fly directly into this small courtyard, but landed at the door of the small courtyard, and she hesitated for a moment before reaching out and knocking lightly on the courtyard door.

A moment later, the door was slowly opened, but the person who opened the door did not seem to be surprised by her arrival at all, but said in an extremely calm tone: "Come in!"

After Bai Hai responded quietly, he took the lead in walking into the Liuyun courtyard.

Coming to the candle-lit room, Bai Haijing chose a chair to sit down, and the cardinal went to make her a cup of tea, and then sat opposite her, silent.

Bai Haijing, who had thought about countless opening remarks in her mind, realized at this moment that when she really faced her, she had always been strict and direct, but she didn't know how to speak, but after seeing her like this, the cardinal said quite understandingly: "If you have anything you want to say, just say it." ”

Bai Haijing glanced at her with a complicated expression, and then said: "Que'er, I came this time to let you go back to Baihe Sword Village with me, are you willing to go with me?"

Hearing this, Cardinal showed a curious look and asked, "Why?"

Bai Haijing naturally didn't tell the reason why she inquired from Bai Bing directly, but found an excuse and said: "Because you haven't been by my side since you were a child, I feel that I owe you a lot, and in a few years, you will get married, and you will not have a chance to get along with you in the future......"

Without waiting for Bai Haijing to finish speaking, Cardinal directly interrupted her and said, "You know that this reason can't convince me or yourself, why do you have to make them so complicated when it is a very simple thing in your mouth?"
