For Pei Qing, the days after the Southern Expedition were so quiet and leisurely that he didn't feel used to it.

Since returning to the Valley of the Wicked, Pei Qing has returned to the Cemetery of the Bone. The difference is that now there is no Yang Yi to harass him all day long, nor is there Ye Chunshen who dislikes him, and even Ye Youqi hasn't come to look for him.

Shen Yun messed around with Ye Fengjun's funeral, Pei Qing didn't go, and of course Shen Yun didn't invite anyone.The woman who assassinated Qi Yun on Nanping Mountain and was carried back by Shen Yun all the way, after all, failed to fly freely to the top of Kunlun Mountain like her last words, but was buried in the Valley of the Evil in a grand and proper manner.

It seemed that the era that belonged to Qi Yun, belonged to Shen Yun, and belonged to the previous generation with love-hate entanglements finally came to an irresistible end.

The owner of the valley seldom shows up now, and the owner of the young valley is the same. The Haoqi League in the south regrouped aggressively and began to counterattack and attack the stronghold. However, the villain's valley here seemed indifferent and unconcerned, as if he had seen through the outcome.

Everything was quiet, the war had just stopped, everyone in the valley was secretly having fun, and no one cared about what to do next.

However, Pei Qing always felt that something was lurking and brewing, and when the time came, it would tear this false tranquility apart.

"Bah -" something scratched on the wooden door, Pei Qing's heart skipped a beat, she held the copper flute in her hand, approached the door, and pulled it open.

The smell of blood hits the face.

A pitch-black leopard, with a half-arm long dirty thing in its mouth, almost fell into the room leaning against the door.

"...Ayao?" Pei Qing never expected, reached out and touched it, it was full of blood.

The fur on Ah Yao's body was already wet with blood, and it could be seen that the injury was not serious.

The bone cemetery where Pei Qing lives is full of poisonous corpse puppets, and their attack power is not low. Usually, it's fine if someone follows them. It will come in all the way by itself, and it will inevitably be surrounded by many attacks. If it can come to Pei Qing's residence alive It's really fate.

"... Aww." Ah Yao snorted weakly, and spat out the contents of his mouth on the ground. Pei Qing took a closer look, and it turned out to be a dagger, and he recognized it.

Liao Yungui called Ye Youqi, and he returned.

what happened?

Pei Qing picked up the sword. Apart from the bloodstains, the sword was also covered with a lot of dust, as if it had been left somewhere for a few days - but Ye Youqi regarded this sword as a treasure, and always carried it with him. It is impossible to just throw it away somewhere.

While thinking, A Yao was already biting the corner of Pei Qing's clothes and began to pull it out.

Strange to say, A Yao's attitude towards the people around Ye Youqi is always clear. He is very close to Liao Yungui, obedient to Song Ziyu but estranged, runs away whenever he has time, and treats Yang Yi as if he is facing an enemy. good face.

As for Pei Qing, although many people don't like him, A Yao has always been close to him.

"..." Holding the dagger, Pei Qing instinctively told him that once he followed out, he would be involved in new big troubles, and his current comfortable and undisturbed life was at an end.

Ye Youqi returned to the Valley of the Wicked in good condition, if anything happened now, it could only be related to the owner of the valley, Shen Yun.

Thinking about Shen Yun's reclusive life and Ye Youqi's disappearance for the past month or so, the more Pei Qing thought about it, the more frightened she became - if it was really Shen Yun who was planning something, then it would undoubtedly be because of Gu Zhu and Shao Gu's actions. The main middle chose the latter.

Following Ye Youqi to attack Haoqi is based on the standpoint of the villain's valley; but if you go against Shen Yun and help Ye Youqi... that is rebellion.

He has been alone all these years, has killed people like hemp, and has a notorious reputation. Where does he have the obligation to risk his life for other people's affairs?

The black panther whined at his feet, and he didn't know if it was Pei Qing's illusion. He felt that he saw some kind of pleading in those golden beast eyes.

And the words that the young man in yellow had said gradually became clear in his mind.

——"Instead of chasing the light of others, why not open a crack in the sky and let the light come in?"

——"Pei Tuozhu may wish to see whether a weak and incompetent person like me will die in the Valley of the Wicked without accomplishing anything, or one day, let it become what I want."

——"I hope you stay, as a partner and a friend."

……

Pei Qing closed her eyes severely, opened them again, and cursed lightly: "If you still dare to speak big words, if you don't know for sure, you will accomplish nothing and die in the Valley of the Evil!"

Although the words were harsh, he rubbed A Yao's head and followed A Yao out of the room.

In this world, the more unencumbered people are, the more invincible they can be. But sometimes, being able to go through fire and water for friends and others makes people feel an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

Perhaps this is the reason why human beings are human beings, not plants and trees.

"Let Liao Yungui get out!!!" The man in black impatiently kicked over the disciples who were forming in front of the gate of Wanhua Valley, "Or Song Ziyu is also fine! Whoever is here, get out!"

"Devil! How dare you come to the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers to play wild!"

"Suffer to death!"

"Today will definitely let you come and go!"

……

Pei Qing's copper flute was stained with blood. Hearing this, he took off his mask and threw it on the ground. He sneered and said, "Don't blame me for killing me today."

"Stop it all." Song Ziyu came down the mountain road with a tired face, "Pei Qing, Wanhua Valley doesn't welcome you, and Yungui isn't here, what do you want to do?"

"..." Pei Qing put away the flute, glanced around coldly, and said, "Then you find a way to tell Liao Yungui that his apprentice has been locked up by Shen Yun, maybe it's life or death now."

"!!!?" Song Ziyu was startled, "Is there a date?"

"Who else could it be?" Pei Qing laughed, "Ye Youqi disappeared in the Valley of the Wicked, and Shen Yun's residence was heavily guarded so that even a fly couldn't fly in. I went to visit twice secretly, and the eighteen cavalry guarded too tightly. , can't get close at all."

Pei Qing looked at Song Ziyu's shocked and tangled expression, and continued: "Song Shengshou, I don't know whether you belong to Shen Yun or just cooperate with him to kill Qi Yun, but since I put this If the matter is revealed to the public, I won't be afraid that you will turn around and inform Shen Yun—"

Song Ziyu turned around and waved his hand to signal the gatekeepers to retreat: "Master Pei, please come in."

"What do you mean?" Pei Qing originally planned to turn around and leave, but Song Ziyu suddenly invited him into the valley, so he couldn't help being stunned.

"Yungui is here." Song Ziyu kept on walking, "It's a matter of time, so come in and talk about it."

Valley of Thousand Flowers.

More than ten years have passed since he was expelled from here.Pei Qing actually never thought that there would be a day when she would be able to step here again.

In the distance, there was a figure in a plain Taoist robe, with wide sleeves and a high crown, sitting in the small courtyard of Luoxing Lake, as if he was playing chess.Hearing the movement, he looked up and seemed to be obviously taken aback: "Mr. Pei?"

Now the situation in the Haoqi League is gradually stabilizing, Ji Miao has a clear mind and is quite cunning, everything has been smooth since he took over, and now that Yang Zi is helping him, it is even more powerful.Liao Yungui sat down at Luoyan Peak and went to Qutang Gorge to recover, so he felt relieved, said goodbye to Ji Miao, and went north to Wanhua Valley.

Firstly, although Song Ziyu has done many irreparable things for revenge, Liao Yungui has been his best friend for many years. Although he is annoyed by him, he can't bear to see him betray his relatives, and he is also worried about what stupid things he might do for a while, so he came to accompany him open solution.

Secondly, when Ye Youqi said that the matter in the Valley of the Evil was over, he would come back to look for him. Liao Yungui hadn't heard any news from his apprentice recently, and he couldn't go directly to the Valley of the Evil to find someone, so he could only stay in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers and wait with peace of mind.

Today, I only heard that there were troubles outside Wanhua Valley. Of course, Liao Yungui was inconvenient to show up as a guest, but he didn't expect Pei Qing to come, let alone Song Ziyu would bring him in.

You must know that those who were expelled from Ten Thousand Flowers Valley will not be allowed to step here again for the rest of their lives.

"Yungui, it seems that something happened in the valley for a while." Song Ziyu hurriedly opened the courtyard door, "Pei Qing came here to report the news."

Liao Yungui's fingers froze: "What did you say?"

"Ah Yao brought this to me a few days ago." Pei Qing took out a dagger from his arms and threw it to Liao Yungui, "After we returned to the valley, Shen Yunhou buried Ye Fengjun, and then he rarely showed up... I I didn’t take it seriously at the beginning, but after calculating until now, it has been almost two months without a trace.”

"He disappeared in the Valley of the Wicked, but there was no commotion. I can only think that Shen Yun did something to him... But Gaefengji is heavily guarded, and Shen Yun's residence is like cast iron. I can't get close. I really can't guess. Is there a date to come out, or is he still alive?"

"Ye Fengjun...was buried?" Song Ziyu didn't believe it, "Xue Minglan can reverse life and death, did Shen Yun use it to save Ye Fengjun?"

"Blood Nether Orchid?" Pei Qing frowned, "What is that?"

During the Battle of Nanping Mountain, although he saw the strange flower blooming from Qi Yun's heart, he didn't know what it was. The end, was forgotten by everyone.

"Shen Yun gave me...the evil thing I planted in Qi Yun's heart...the blood orchid, it is said that the flower absorbs the flesh and blood of living people as nourishment, and grows from the human heart as the soil. It can cure all diseases, remove all poisons, reshape tendons, connect broken bones...it can even bring the dead back to life." Song Ziyu thought about it, "It's hard to say the effect of this thing, it's just rumors, after all, it's too rare, it's hard Leave a verifiable dossier..."

"But according to what you said, shouldn't Shen Jun use it to save Ye Fengjun?" Pei Qing was puzzled, "The old man is about to die, but he stands by and does nothing, what is he trying to do?"

"No matter what you do, just go and see for yourself." Liao Yungui listened in silence for a long time, and finally opened his mouth, "Mr. Pei, Liao will keep this kindness in mind. When the valley comes out, I will definitely try to repay you generously.”

Pei Qing turned her head away, and refused: "If you want to repay, let Ye Youqi come by himself... I'll go back to the Valley of the Wicked, will you come?"

"Okay." Liao Yungui didn't hesitate, "Let's go now."

"Yungui, the Valley of the Evil is extremely dangerous, you can't be alone..." Song Ziyu grabbed him, "Why don't you discuss it with your master..."

"Ziyu, in one's life, sometimes you know you can't do something, but you still have to do it." Liao Yungui pushed away his best friend's hand, and said calmly, "Don't say that there is a chance that life and death are unknown now, even if he is no longer in this world, I still want to go. Valley of the Wicked—either Shen Yun dies, or I die."

"If you go one day earlier, you will have more hope. I can't wait."

"If I can't come back..." Liao Yungui smiled slightly, "You can just treat me as if I have a certain date with me, and go to the world to be free and easy. The rivers and lakes are far away, so take care of each other."
