Chang Dizhihua

Chapter 5, Momentary Realm

Out of the water area, there are endless reeds in front of you. The long tassels fluctuate with the night wind and are reflected by the moonlight, like thousands of hectares of silver waves.The wooden boat behind had disappeared without a trace, and the three of them seemed to be touched by the mysterious woman's mood. For a moment, no one spoke, and they only walked forward in silence.However, after Fang walked a few steps, the ground under his feet suddenly tilted to one side without warning. The three of them didn't even have time to exclaim in the future, and their bodies fell down along with the momentum of the tilt of the ground. No matter what you come across, you will hold on to it firmly.

When the chaos in front of us gradually calmed down, the sky and the earth had turned around, and there were clusters of undulating reeds hanging upside down on the top of the head, and the narrow and long waterways dragged from one end of the sky to the other, shining silver and shining brightly. , while the surroundings turned into a dark void, the cobweb-like road spread from under the feet, suspended in the air without any support, and a crescent moon slanted and sank under the abyss, like the moon shadow reflected in the water, the scenery was simply amazing. Secretive to the extreme.

After the three of them were shocked, they couldn't help being extremely surprised. They only felt that all kinds of strange things they encountered in this short period of time were more than the sum of all they encountered in their entire life.Yun Tianqing breathed out and said, "I thought that if I fall down like this, I will definitely die."

Xuan Xiao glanced at him, nodded lukewarmly: "Oh, that's why you are afraid of this."

Yun Tianqing was stunned, and then realized that he had one hand on Suyu's shoulder, and the other hand was still holding Xuan Xiao's hand tightly, and he didn't let go right now, he put more force on his fingers, squeezed hard, and at the same time he raised his head to the sky and yelled haha : "Yes, you are very brave, I don't know who was the one who frightened the hands so cold like frozen fish, and still grabbed the sleeves of Junior Sister Suyu."

Xuan Xiao's face turned pale from the pain, and he was so embarrassed by his words, his face turned blue and red, which was more exciting than being soaked in a dye vat.Suyu retreated to the side without a trace, pulled back the sleeves that were pressing on the wide edge of Yuebai, and said with a smile: "It was so dangerous just now, if we didn't hold on to each other, we would have been separated long ago. The road ahead is difficult, we The three of them must advance and retreat together as they are now." In a casual sentence, one person was given a step, and the matter was exposed.

Rao Yun Tianqing's skin is thicker than the corner of the city wall, after hearing Suyu's words, he also felt quite embarrassed, scratched his head, and diverted the conversation: "This place is very interesting, I don't know whether we are in the sky Or underground?"

Xuan Xiao led the way first, and explained as he walked: "I once heard Elder Jingwei mention that among the six worlds, there is a gap connecting the two worlds of gods and demons, called the 'well of gods and demons'. It’s somewhat similar to here.”

Yun Tianqing thought, you know everything, but said: "Why didn't I hear Mr. Jingwei say it? You didn't make it up, did you?"

Xuan Xiao didn't argue with him, but said coldly: "You fell asleep when she was teaching."

Suyu smiled at the side: "I just joined the teacher's school not long ago, and I haven't heard about it, can Senior Brother Xuanxiao explain it in detail?"

Xuan Xiao's face turned pale, and he said again: "The creatures in the well of gods and demons are mostly fallen gods and immortals who can't ascend, with evil thoughts in their hearts, wandering here, without birth and death."

Yun Tianqing interjected: "Isn't that too pitiful? If we fail to cultivate immortals, do we have to stay in that kind of place for the rest of our lives?"

Xuan Xiao shook his head: "The Qionghua faction takes it as their mission to benefit the world, subduing demons and eliminating demons, cultivating immortals and practicing Taoism. They are all on the right path. How could they fall into such a state?"

He put on a straight face at the moment, and his demeanor was somewhat similar to that of the white-bearded elders of the Qionghua Sect. Yun Tianqing saw it, and felt that although he was by his side, he was far away from him. It's interesting to be angry and slapstick.Thinking about it this way, I suddenly felt a little sad for no reason, and thought that if the cultivation of immortals would become so boring in the end, it would be better to laugh and roll around in the world of mortals for decades, and finally go to the ghost world to reincarnate freely and freely.

The celestial road floating in the night sky came to an end, and a large platform appeared, bright and clean as a mirror but empty, only a huge copper tripod was placed in the middle, and an old man with white beard and hair was leaning on the foot of the tripod, short. Chunky and fat like an old birthday star, holding a wine gourd in his arms, he was fast asleep, and an intoxicating aroma of wine permeated his body.

Xuan Xiao stepped forward, made a salute, and said loudly: "Old man, can I disturb you for a moment?" He didn't speak loudly, but he stimulated a bit of internal energy. After hearing this, ordinary people would be shocked no matter how deeply they slept. Woke up, but the old man snored as if he had never heard of it.

Suyu smiled and shook her head: "It seems that the old man is very drunk, but...if he wants to find a way out, he must fall on him, and he must be woken up." As he said, he stepped forward and shook the old man shoulder, said softly: "Old man, wake up, we have something to ask."

The old man opened his eyes in a daze, glanced at her, smacked his lips, and said vaguely: "You girl... you are pretty, but old man, I am old, and I only love fine wine...not wine." beautiful woman……"

Suyu blushed and took a step back, the old man turned over and closed his eyes again.

When Yun Tianqing heard the word "fine wine", he became hesitant in a flash, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he stepped forward a few steps, stretched out his arm and gently snatched the wine gourd from his arms.The old man immediately opened his eyes, turned over and sat up, and yelled: "You little brat is so rude! Give me back the wine!"

Yun Tianqing ignored him, and walked back lightly, uncorked the bottle, raised his neck and took a big gulp, wiped his mouth at the end, and praised: "It really is good wine!"

The old man was so angry that he stumbled: "What do you know, okay? If you drink the old man's wine, don't hesitate to pay for it!"

Yun Tianqing shook the wine bottle in his hand: "The wine made from Baihuami is mellow, what's the point of drinking it slowly? Of course, you have to gulp it down to enjoy yourself, old man, you are too stingy." His words fell, and he suddenly felt The corner was pulled, and when I looked sideways, I saw Suyu frowned and shook her head slightly. At the same time, Xuan Xiao's extremely low voice sounded from the other side: "Tianqing, don't mess around." The two raised their chins and smiled, indicating that it's okay.

The old man was taken aback by what he said, and after a while, he laughed loudly: "I can't see it, I can't see it, you are also a fellow, and it's not too wasteful if you drink this honey wine. "

Yun Tianqing chuckled: "Old man, do me a favor, tell us how to get out from here, and I will return the half bottle of wine to you."

The old man stroked his beard and said, "What's the problem with giving you this wine? I've been here for so many years, and it's the first time I've met such an interesting little doll like you. The old man made you a friend. You stay and talk to me about wine." , how about being a happy wine fairy?"

Yun Tianqing almost lost his temper when he heard this, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating, thinking that no matter how much wine you have around you, what's the fun of facing your old face like dead bark every day?So he waved his hands again and again: "No, no! Staying here, I will be suffocated to death!"

The old man was very surprised: "The old man has a thousand wines, why are you bored?"

"Although you have a lot of wine here, they are all old and not fresh."

"Drinkers, the older the better, the fresher what to do—"

Yun Tianqing saw that the old man was dragging his tone and wanted to talk at length, so he interrupted him quickly: "Old man, let me ask you, how many years have you lived here?"

"One hundred, two hundred..." The old man counted with his fingers for a long time, and finally shook his head and said, "You kid, you can always make things difficult for others, how can this old man remember this!"

Yun Tianqing sighed, as if he didn't have any regrets: "That's it. No wonder you are ignorant, because you haven't been out for a long time. I just mentioned the names of a few wines, and you must not know them."

The old man looked very complacent: "Is there any wine in this world that I, the wine fairy, don't know? Come and hear it!"

Yun Tianqing smiled and said: "There is a kind of 'October White' in Linjiang County. It is brewed with high-quality stream water and sweet glutinous rice. It is buried under the mud of the lotus pond. When it is dug out on the day of the winter solstice, the wine is golden in color and tastes sweet. , the intoxicating fragrance can be smelled three miles away."

The Jiu Xianweng felt itchy for a while, but his face showed a look of disbelief: "I have never heard of Linjiang County, so you must have made it up, right?" I have been separated for many years, and I don't know that there is a Qin Dynasty. How about the Han, Wei and Jin?Linjiang County is located in the water town of Wuyue. It has been prosperous and prosperous since ancient times. It has been renamed several times through various dynasties. It is not unusual for this wine fairy to not know.

Yun Tianqing didn't argue or explain at the moment, he just picked the fine wine and said: "There is also Jiuniangchun from Haoxian County, Huizhou. It is brewed only with ancient well water. It is really clear like crystal and fragrant like orchid. You've never drank, have you?" He was addicted to alcohol since he was a child, and when he just learned to walk, he crawled into the cellar of his uncle's house to steal wine and drink. Later, as he got older, he spent several years in the rivers and lakes, and the wine he read was countless Well, he has a good eloquence, so he spoke so well that the Jiuxian was stunned.

Yun Tianqing said seven or eight kinds of things before he stopped, smiling and looking at the wine fairy, seeing envy and shame on his face, he couldn't help feeling very proud.The Jiuxian Weng was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "Unexpectedly, I have been born for so many years, and there are so many kinds of fine wines in the world. I call myself a Jiuxian, but I am just a frog at the bottom of the well. I am ashamed, ashamed."

Yun Tianqing tilted his head and smiled, "What does it matter? Just let the three of us get out of this damn place, and I promise to bring you some good wine every year and festival."

After hearing this, Jiu Xianweng's expression of frustration disappeared, and he said happily, "You little baby, do you really mean what you say?"

Yun Tianqing put away his smiling face, and said seriously: "Why don't you take it seriously? I always keep my word, and I will do what I promise my friends no matter what."

The wine fairy laughed loudly: "Okay, good! If you want to bring me wine in the future, you only need to go to the Taoist temple to invite a statue of the wine fairy, burn a stick of incense, and sprinkle the wine on the ground, and I will receive it." After finishing the instructions, With his backhand, he knocked on the big bronze tripod behind him, only to hear a heavy sound of gold and iron resounding all around, shaking the platform. After the sound passed, a circular formation slowly emerged on the ground in front of the three of them , flashing a little golden light.

Yun Tianqing pointed at the formation, and wondered: "Is this the exit?"

The Jiu Xian Weng shook his head and laughed and scolded: "You brat thinks so well! There is still a long way to go to get out from here. All kinds of obsessions and temptations in the world are nothing more than 'wine, sex, wealth, and anger'. You have just passed For the first two levels, you can decide what to do next. The old man sees that you are all good boys, so I just mentioned a few words, that’s all I said, I can’t say more.”

Yun Tianqing smiled heartily: "Thank you, thank you. I'm very sorry that I stole your drink and asked you to show me the way. Don't care what happens after that. The three of us are afraid we won't be able to get through?"

The three bowed their hands in thanks, and when they were about to step into the formation, they suddenly heard the Jiuxian ask again: "Boy, don't you think about it anymore? If you stay today, you will be promoted to a half-immortal, which is better than more than ten years of cultivation. It’s hard to come back after leaving!”

Yun Tianqing didn't care too much, and just said casually: "It's good intentions, but it's so easy to become a fairy, I don't think it's fun."

"As expected." Jiuxian Weng smiled and sighed: "Although your foundation is good, but you are too greedy for the world of mortals, if you want to cultivate immortality, I'm afraid it will be very difficult, far inferior to those two children beside you."

Yun Tianqing turned around and smiled: "Old man, if you keep talking too much, be careful that I won't bring you wine!" Before he finished speaking, there was a flash of light, and the figures of the three disappeared from the platform without a trace.

***

Yun Tianqing stepped into the formation, suddenly felt that his feet were empty, and his body fell straight down. He had experienced all kinds of strange things before, and knew that it was just an illusion again, but he didn't panic too much. He felt that the downward trend was getting worse and worse. Quickly, the wind whistled in my ear, and the surroundings were so dark that I couldn't see my fingers. Suddenly, my back hit the ground heavily. At the same time, something hit his chest and abdomen heavily, and his stomach was overwhelmed. He still hasn't recovered. Another object fell down again, and landed on his leg impartially. Although it was lighter than the previous object, it still hit his eyes with golden stars, and he couldn't help but exclaimed "Ouch".Two voices sounded in my ear at the same time, one of them wondered: "Tian Qing?" The other shouted: "Senior Brother Yun!"

Yun Tianqing groaned in pain: "I haven't accumulated any virtue in my eight lifetimes, so I made a good human cushion for you two for nothing."

Xuan Xiao and Su Yu hurriedly stood up, and asked, "Where is the injury?" Yun Tianqing got up from the ground and was dizzy for a long time, only to feel as if a pot of thick ink had been splashed in front of her eyes, impermeable to light, After gathering his mind, he asked, "Where is this again?"

Suyu sighed, "It's too dark, I can't see anything clearly."

"Maybe you can see it now?" Xuan Xiao finished speaking, the other two only felt their eyes light up, a small ball of yellow, orange and orange flames rose slowly from his palm, instantly illuminating the faces of the three of them.

Yun Tianqing grabbed his wrist, looked carefully up and down, and said with a smile: "The flame spell of the Five Spirits Immortal Technique is so powerful, it doesn't matter if you forget to bring flint and flint when you go out in the future. Brother Xuan Xiao is a ready-made torch, and it is convenient for barbecue to light a fire."

"Then I will light your dry firewood first." Xuan Xiao pulled the corner of his mouth, and suddenly flicked his slender index finger, a cluster of flames shot up, scorching a strand of Yun Tianqing's hair, and Yun Tianqing hurriedly jumped back Take a few steps back.

Seeing that the two of them were in an unknown and dangerous place, Suyu was still talking and laughing leisurely, which was considered extremely daring.However, after this commotion, even my own mood relaxed a lot, and I couldn't help but smiled and said: "Okay, it's serious to find a way out first."

While talking, he looked around with the dim light, and saw several stacks of papers spread out like books at his feet, so he picked them up and rolled them into a long tube, stretched them out to Xuan Xiao's hand and lit them.When the flames rose, she let out a "huh" with surprise in her voice: "This is not ordinary paper, it seems to be... the flying money printed by Baoqi Bank."

When Yun Tianqing leaned over to look at it, the paper was half burnt, but he could still vaguely recognize the stamp and words of the bank, and couldn't help saying: "Really! It seems to be still usable!"

But Suyu didn't care about that much, seeing that the flame was about to go out, she pulled out a large stack of money notes and lit them together.For a moment, the flames were overwhelming, illuminating the four walls, and one could see that the place where the three of them were was a grotto in the middle of the mountain, with a deep corridor leading straight ahead, with no end in sight, and no other exits.

The three looked at each other, Xuan Xiao suddenly said: "Give it to me." Without waiting for Suyu to answer, he took the paper roll in her hand and led the way first.

Yun Tianqing waved his hands: "You two go first, I'll be in the rear." Then he held the remaining banknotes in his arms, just in case.

After walking for a while, Xuan Xiao saw that the torch in his hand was about to go out again, so he stretched out his hand to Yun Tianqing.Yun Tianqing picked up a few pieces of flying money and came out, handing them to him, while shaking his head and sighing: "You don't feel bad, use this thing as firewood."

Xuan Xiao was puzzled, and turned his head to look at him.

Knowing that he grew up in Penglai, Yun Tianqing probably didn't know anything about it. Seeing that the tunnel at the bottom of the mountain led to the end, and the journey was boring, he patiently explained: "Don't look at the thin paper, each piece is worth tens of thousands. The merchant When you go out to do business, it is not safe to carry silver taels with you, so you often deposit money in a bank, and then go to a branch of the same bank to exchange silver taels when you are in a different place. money."

Xuan Xiao thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Money is dead, but life is alive. If you can't get out, what's the use of having more money?"

Suyu smiled and said, "That's not bad. Besides, the money is not yours or mine. Even if you got it, it would be unrighteous, and it would only increase your troubles."

However, no matter how much flying money there is, it will eventually burn out. With the last light of fire extinguished, the entire cave returns to darkness.The three of them were still joking from time to time, but seeing this scene, they gradually lost their mood and remained silent.

Xuan Xiao recited the fairy formula secretly, and a ball of fire appeared between his five fingers, illuminating the way forward, but the five-spirit magic was very exhausting, and within a short while, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. The sound of breathing also became heavy.Suyu saw it clearly, put a hand on the back of his hand lightly, and said softly: "Senior Brother Xuanxiao, it's okay if you don't see it, don't waste your energy too much."

Xuan Xiao shook his head: "It's okay..." However, after all, the true energy was exhausted and there was no way to continue it. The light in his hand flickered a few times, and finally darkened, and the surroundings were surrounded by boundless darkness.

Yun Tianqing identified Xuan Xiao and Su Yu's position by the sound of footsteps, reached out her hands, touched the hands of the two, held them tightly, and smiled softly: "We will walk hand in hand, so we won't get separated." Having said this, the other two didn't answer, but the darkness seemed to have a shape, flowing slowly through the body like warm water, which softened people's hearts a little.

The three of them groped along the stone wall side by side and walked all the way. After walking not far, the road diverged from left to right. Xuan Xiao ignited a fire curse, and Yun Tianqing drew a mark on the stone wall with the tip of his sword, and chose a side at random to continue forward. go.I don't know how long I have walked along the corridor like this, but I still can't see even a ray of light in front of me, and the branch roads diverge more and more, and I don't know where I am.The three of them were all exhausted, and the further they walked, the more uncertain they felt. Only relying on a ray of obsession in their hearts, they gritted their teeth and reluctantly continued.

After a while, Xuan Xiao's true energy was consumed the most, and the first one was exhausted, his body was shaking and he was about to fall to the side.Yun Tianqing sensed that something was wrong, and stretched out his hand to help, but he swayed, and even Suyu fell forward.The three of them fell together in a state of embarrassment. Fortunately, there was no light in the middle of the mountain, so they didn't feel embarrassed.Suddenly, Yun Tianqing felt that it was extremely funny, and couldn't help laughing out loud. Suyu was startled, thinking of her embarrassment, she also shook her head and smiled, and Xuan Xiao coughed immediately, but couldn't hide her smile.

The three of them had been struggling to walk before, but they didn't feel much, but now they stopped suddenly, only to realize that their limbs were so sore that they couldn't lift them up.Yun Tianqing lay sprawled on the ground, didn't even want to move a finger, just asked with a wry smile, "You two... can you still walk?"

Suyu wiped the sweat from her forehead with her hand: "Have a rest before leaving?"

Xuan Xiao didn't speak bluntly. After a while, he said: "I don't know how many roads are ahead..."

Yun Tianqing knew that he was actually very tired, but he didn't point it out, he just smiled and said: "Junior Sister Suyu, you just came here not long ago, have you ever met Mr. Chong Guangzhang to teach?"

Suyu didn't understand why he suddenly mentioned this matter, she was quite surprised: "Not yet. What's wrong?"

Yun Tianqing said: "Hey! You don't know that this elder Chongguang is the strictest. Every morning class, we have to take turns to go up to the martial arts competition. After such a round of competition, everyone is exhausted, and they don't dare to be lazy, crying all day long Yes, only Brother Xuan Xiao never complained."

Suyu heard it interesting and asked, "What happened afterwards?"

Yun Tianqing continued: "At the end of the day, I asked again, 'Senior Brother Xuan Xiao, are you not tired?' He didn't answer, but asked after a while, 'I don't know how many more matches?' I still Before I could answer, I was called to the stage again by Senior Uncle Chongguang, and when I came down again, I saw Senior Brother holding a small wooden stick in his hand and writing on the ground—"

Suyu couldn't help laughing when she thought of Xuan Xiao holding a tree branch and writing on the ground.But Xuan Xiao came to his senses, and stopped in a low voice: "Yun Tianqing, if you talk more nonsense—"

Yun Tianqing continued with a smile: "What's the matter? You scratched several orthographic characters on the ground, aren't you planning how many games you have to compete? I'm not talking nonsense. Junior Sister Suyu, you know now, this guy is the most duplicity , even if you're almost exhausted, you won't be able to say half a tired word."

Xuan Xiao snorted: "Very good, next time you are late for morning class, I won't excuse you anymore, just go straight to Sihuigu."

Yun Tianqing didn't take it seriously, and replied casually: "How wonderful it is to think back to the valley, there are less reprimands, and it can't be quieter, but there is no food, which is a pity."

Hearing this, Suyu suddenly smiled in the darkness: "You two, the relationship is really good."

Yun Tianqing and Xuan Xiao immediately said in unison: "Who has a good relationship with this guy!"

Suyu didn't think it was disobedient, but sighed slightly: "Seeing you reminds me of a friend."

Yun Tianqing was very interested immediately, and asked: "Oh? Who is it?"

"That man is my righteous brother..." Suyu said half a sentence, but didn't continue immediately, as if recalling the past, paused, and then said: "I have been wandering around with him for several years, But later he became very skilled in martial arts and said that he was going to be a bandit. Of course I was very unhappy, and we had a fight with him, so we separated. Later, I met Master Taiqing, fell in love with Qionghua, Haven't seen him since."

Yun Tianqing said: "So junior sister, you also like to wander around? No wonder you know Feiqian from Baoqi Bank."

Suyu smiled noncommittally, and continued: "Back when Yixiong was still there, we always quarreled and quarreled, but after we separated, think about it, he is really like my own brother. I don't know if he is still okay now ?”

Xuan Xiao hadn't spoken all this time, but at this moment he suddenly said, "As long as you're still here, it won't be difficult to see you later."

Yun Tianqing also interjected from the side: "When you go out from here, you will have a chance to go down the mountain. We will accompany you to find your elder brother, and we will definitely find it soon."

Suyu showed a smile: "Senior Brother Xuanxiao, Senior Brother Tianqing, thank you very much."

After saying this, the three of them fell silent, just sitting quietly and adjusting their breath.The cave was cold and damp, and the water vapor on the stone wall slowly condensed and dripped on the ground, making a small ticking sound.Although they couldn't see each other's figure in the darkness, they could feel that they were close to each other. For a moment, no one wanted to disturb the quiet atmosphere.After a while, Yun Tianqing suddenly broke the silence: "I'm so hungry, I should have brought some food."

He said a word, and the other two also felt the same, Suyu frowned and said: "Brother said so, so do I... How long have we stayed here?"

Xuan Xiao pondered for a moment, and replied, "It's been at least four hours."

"But Master said that if we don't come back within an hour, we will be called back. Now—" Suyu said a few words, and then stopped. Needless to say, the hearts of the three of them are clear.In fact, they have already vaguely expected this section, but no one is willing to think about it. Now that it is mentioned again, it is finally impossible to avoid it. A chill can't help but rise in the bottom of my heart, and the previous breezy and peaceful atmosphere suddenly becomes a little heavy again. .

After a while, Xuan Xiao snorted slightly from his nasal cavity, and said: "Whatever it is, what can this mere cave do to you and me?" The voice was not high, but there was a calm and composed demeanor in his tone.

Yun Tianqing was a little depressed at first, but he was refreshed after hearing this: "That's right, instead of pinning your hopes on others, it's better to go out with your own feet."

Suyu stood up first: "Since we've had enough rest, let's go on."

However, the road became even more difficult after that, the water vapor in the cave gradually became stronger, and finally merged into a trickle under the feet, which was extremely slippery, and the corridor went up obliquely, becoming narrower and narrower, until finally only one person could bend down to pass through.Suyu didn't check for a while, and bumped her arm against the sharp rock, creating a deep wound, tearing her eyes from the pain, but she held back her tears, wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with the back of her hand, and continued walking as usual.

However, Yun Tianqing noticed the faint smell of blood permeating around his birth, and asked with a frown, "Which of you two was injured?"

Xuan Xiao also sensed that something was wrong, and immediately ignited the fire curse, but saw that Suyu's left sleeve had been dyed blood red, so he stretched out his hand and pulled her arm closer to him.

But Suyu didn't care, she just said indifferently: "It's okay. Let's go quickly."

Just as he was about to withdraw his arm, his wrist was grabbed, and Xuan Xiao shouted in his ear: "Don't move!" He couldn't help but shudder.

Yun Tianqing laughed and said: "There is nothing else, Jinchuang medicine is enough." After speaking, he took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom and threw it to Xuan Xiao.Xuan Xiao reached out to scoop up the running water from the grotto, poured it on Suyu's arm to carefully wash away the blood, and then applied a thick layer of gold wound medicine on the wound. Suyu bit her lower lip and stared intently at his slightly wrinkled face. Eyebrows and long black hair scattered on the cheeks, the words of thanks came to his lips, but he didn't say them after all, he only smiled at him with the corners of his mouth bent.Xuan Xiao nodded slightly, indicating to return the gift.

After the wound was properly treated, Yun Tianqing tore off half of the skirt, wrapped Suyu's half arm tightly into a rice dumpling, and then said: "Oh, fortunately, the scratch was not on the face. If such a beautiful girl were torn Xiang, what a pity."

Suyu pursed her lips and smiled: "You don't know, my parents have always raised me as a boy. I have been crazy with the boys in the same village since I was a child. Where have I never been bumped? The last time I climbed a tree and fell down, my forehead hit me. It's like a birthday star."

Yun Tianqing wondered: "Your father and mother are at ease to let you wander around? Do you go to Qionghua to cultivate immortals by yourself?"

Suyu explained: "My parents passed away a long time ago, and I have no one to take care of me. I am very free by myself."

Yun Tianqing said "Oh", pointed at the back of Xuan Xiao in front of him and said: "Then you and us are the same." He turned his head and thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "The three of us have neither father nor mother. Yes, how about sworn brothers?"

Xuan Xiao was startled when he heard this: "The three of us are all from the same sect, so why do we still worship?"

Yun Tianqing shook his head: "I call you brother, and even the coffin boards like Xuantai have to be called brother. There is no difference at all, how fun! Friends in the world call each other brothers, so they are kind."

Xuan Xiao was quite helpless: "Who wants to call you brother!"

Yun Tianqing laughed: "I'm older than you, of course you can't call me brother, you have to call me big brother." He thought casually, did whatever came to his mind, without hesitation at the moment, pulled Xuan Xiao Suyu two The people knelt down facing each other and muttered something: "Heaven is above—" I just said half a sentence, looked at the darkness above my head, and then choked back the second half, "I don't care if it has a sky or not, anyway, my sky is blue today I swore to be brothers with Xuan Xiao and Su Yu, from now on I will share the blessings and hardships together, I don't want to live together, but I want to die together..." As he spoke, he bent down and kowtowed his head.

When he was young, he had read all kinds of biographies of rangers, and he yearned for the story of congeniality and friendship with Jinlan most. He was very naughty when he was a child, and the children in the village were afraid of him. They always swore to the same person, and it became extremely boring after a long time, but he didn't want to have two more brothers with different surnames today, and he was quite happy in his heart. The darkness is nothing.

After Su Yu finished prostrating, she stood up and said with a smile: "To live and die together, the three of us have gone through this experience today, it can be regarded as living and dying together."

Hearing her words, Xuan Xiao suddenly remembered that half a year ago, he traveled thousands of miles from Penglai to Kunlun, if he hadn't met Yun Tianqing on the Taiyi Immortal Path, he would have survived.He was lost in thought and didn't make a sound, but Yun Tianqing thought he was unwilling, so he only teased him with words: "I've finished kowtowing, why don't you call me big brother?"

Only then did Xuan Xiao come back to his senses, humming and sneering twice: "I've seen Brother Yun."

It was only then that Yun Tianqing realized that he had already agreed, and smiled secretly in his heart, but said: "Being a senior brother and a big brother, you will take all the advantages in the world?"

Suyu also suppressed a smile and said, "What's the point of arguing about it? Just report your age and we'll see."

The three of them narrated their ages, and it turned out that Xuan Xiao was half a year younger than Yun Tianqing, while Suyu was a whole year older than Yun Tianqing. Based on this calculation, although Yun Tianqing became Xuan Xiao's elder brother as he wished, both of them got Call Suyu her sister.The youngest is the senior brother, and the older ones are the junior sisters who have just started. Yun Tianqing stroked his chin as he walked, thinking that the seniority titles of the Qionghua School are indeed inexplicable and messy, but no matter whether they are rowed up or down, they always know each other. It's not a disadvantage to be caught in the middle.

While we were talking, the road under our feet seemed to become less difficult. After walking for a while, the corridor suddenly opened up again. Yun Tianqing originally walked along the stone wall, but he didn't want his forehead to hit a half-moon-shaped protrusion. from things.He was surprised and forgot the pain. He stretched out his hand to feel it carefully, and when he found a hollow in the middle, which contained some greasy paste, he was overjoyed and quickly called the two people in front of him: "There seems to be something on the wall." lamp!"

Xuan Xiao turned around and sacrificed the fire spell, spotted a bulge on the wall and ignited it, only to hear a light bang, a light turned on, and after a while, there was another light a few meters away from it. The lamp was lit, and the eyes of the three people got used to the darkness. When the lamp was lit for a while, they couldn't open their eyes. It took a while to get used to it. The lights seemed to be alive, one after another along the stone wall by themselves. Go all the way forward, and at the end, the lights are connected into a line, like a thin fire dragon, illuminating the entire corridor brightly.

The three of them were watching in amazement, when suddenly they heard a crunching sound between the walls, the stone wall suddenly opened, and something jumped out of it, it rushed over with its teeth and claws, Suyu drew his sword like the wind, with a flash of arc, the hand raised the blade and fell, He split the thing in half, and when he looked closely, he found that it was an exquisitely crafted wooden man with mechanism. Although it was knocked down to the ground, the mechanism was still running, and the limbs made various moves, lifelike.

Yun Tianqing was speechless and said: "This thing is so powerful! It would be painful enough if it was hit." While talking, he also drew his sword in his hand, concentrated his attention and slowed down his pace.

Suyu nodded slightly: "There are many organs here, we have to be more careful."

Xuan Xiao glanced at the long sword in Suyu's hand, and couldn't help being a little surprised.When he practiced hard in Qionghua, he not only made great progress in his kung fu, but also had a small success in sword casting. However, he had practiced with Elder Zonglian for half a year, and he had never seen such a style of sword. Curious, he couldn't help asking Said: "Suyu, where did your sword come from?"

Suyu took half a step back and walked side by side with him, and replied: "When I first started, I was given a gift from Uncle Zonglian. It's called 'Jilian'. What's the matter?"

Xuan Xiao shook his head slightly: "I saw that this sword has no grid and has a strange shape, so I asked this question."

Suyu raised his sword, smiled and sighed: "Yes, a sword without a grid is very difficult to use, and I still can't get used to it."

While the two were talking, Yun Tianqing in front of him cut off two wooden figures, turned around and shouted: "You two, don't bother chatting, be careful where you step!"

Xuan Xiao quickly chased after him, and patted Yun Tianqing on the shoulder: "Stay back."

Yun Tianqing took two steps back, and saw Xuan Xiao stretch out his arms and slap each of the stone walls on the left and right sides. The stone wall was shaken by internal force, and gravel and dust rolled down from the dome, and the lights flickered and flickered. The traps between the walls were activated at the same time, and all the wooden figures in the traps came out.When Xuan Xiao raised his eyebrows and raised his hands, the dazzling fire flew out like a rain of meteors, hit the wooden man, and immediately burned blazingly.The heat wave swept over, and Yun Tianqing and Suyu were forced to take a few steps back, but he stood still, and his white robe, which was reflected by the flames in orange, fluttered up and down, as if he was about to merge with the flames. One.

When the fire gradually dissipated, no mechanism, no matter how exquisitely designed, was left, only a charred wreck remained, and the dead silence permeated the entire grotto.

Yun Tianqing looked at Xuan Xiao, and while admiring him, there was a vague unspeakable uneasiness in his heart.I think the wooden man has no pain of life and death, but it doesn't matter if it is burned, but what if it is a living creature in this world?Do we also want to eliminate all of them and kill none of them?Looking at Suyu again, she saw that her eyes were bright and clear, the sword in her hand was like snow, but her face was calm, she was thinking about something, after a while, she opened her mouth and said: "In this way, It is expected that there will be no obstacles in the way ahead." Then, he turned his gaze to Xuan Xiao, "It's just that this move is too labor-intensive, are you... all right?"

After the fire was extinguished, Xuan Xiao's face turned pale again, but he replied without hesitation: "It's okay, let's go."

Yun Tianqing withdrew his gaze, nodded, but said nothing.He was laughing and talking freely at first, but now he fell silent, Xuan Xiao
