The Great Sorcerer

Salo and Hai Huan brought Lu Ming and Canaan into the cave that Hai Huan had just discovered.The water in the underground lake is flowing quietly along the river channel hidden in the crevices of the rocks, and there are some boulders protruding from the water on both sides for people to settle on.

Just as Canaan was put on a stone by Salo, he gradually woke up.Although he was exhausted, his sanity soon recovered.When he saw the living Hai Huan, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and when he turned around and saw the comatose Luming, he immediately got up and looked over to see if he was still alive.

Lu Ming's chest rose and fell slightly, although his face was pale, he looked alive.

For some reason, while Canaan felt relieved, he also felt a hint of disappointment deep in his heart... He quickly suppressed this rebellious feeling, and made an expression of eager concern.

"He hurt his head. I don't know if it will cause damage to the brain. We need to get out as soon as possible." Salo whispered.

Hai Huan nodded, agreeing with his opinion, but his eyes wandered to Canaan, and asked lightly, "Can you?"

Canaan's heart jumped for joy because of this little concern, and hurriedly said, "I'm fine."

Salo looked at the gap where they just came in, and then at the underground river flowing deeper, and analyzed, "It's too dangerous to go back, those Gu sculptures may have returned. However, the exit of the underground palace is located in a lower terrain In the lower part, the river must be flowing downward, maybe you can find the exit by walking along the river."

Both Canaan and Hai Huan agreed to take the risk, with Lu Ming on Hai Huan's back, and the three carefully holding onto the stone walls on both sides of the corridor, standing in the waist-deep water and groping forward.The road ahead is getting narrower and narrower, and the oppression of space makes people feel that breathing is no longer smooth. In the end, they could only squeeze through the stone wall sideways. Their faces were knocked several times, and their backs rubbed against the rough stones from time to time. , as if it would be crushed at any time.With Lu Ming on his back, Hai Huan walked with even more difficulty, and he had to be careful not to hurt the injuries on his back.

Canaan walked between Hai Huan and Salo, thinking over and over again of the pair of green eyes that appeared in his mind just now in the Gu carving lair.He recognized those eyes. When he summoned Ah Shuang, he had seen the owner of those eyes in the deepest part of his consciousness, a helpless and dying teenager in the ice, snow and cold wind.

Everyone's consciousness is extremely complex. In a waking state, what we can perceive is actually only a very small part of the spiritual consciousness. Most of the consciousness is hidden under the cognition, spreading layer by layer. , the further down, the closer to the nature and the soul.Because of this, the subconscious contains great power, but people usually suppress the most instinctive and evil thoughts into the depths of consciousness, so as to present themselves and others acceptable self, so if too much subconscious is developed, it is equivalent to Yu released the beasts that had accumulated countless reincarnations dormant in their hearts.In the end, he even devoured himself.

For this reason, many wizards who pursue ultimate power go too deep into their own consciousness and eventually go mad and become monsters that harm mankind.Just like the crazy wizard who tried to merge the nine major wizards in the fifteenth generation of wizards.

Canaan never knew who the green-eyed boy was, but behind those evil eyes, he felt an indescribable sadness.

Why do these eyes exist in the depths of my consciousness?

Could it be the embodiment of the evil hidden in the depths of his subconscious mind?

But why does that evil incarnation look so pitiful...

Thinking of all these things, he suddenly had a noseache and bumped into the back of Lu Ming who was being carried by Hai Huan...

"Ouch..."

Hai Huan's voice came from the front, "It seems that the front is the exit."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly lowered his head and cautiously slipped out through an almost invisible gap.

Canaan also hurriedly drilled out, and was dumbfounded as soon as he went out.

They seem to have drilled out of a water outlet, and there is a corridor outside.And that little light source in the distance ahead, could it be the exit? !

Canaan shouted, "We're here!! We're here!!"

"Don't be too happy..." Salo's voice was a little nervous, and Canaan followed his gaze, and saw five apprentices staring at them.

The leader of the five was full of hostility.According to the rules of the game, every time someone reaches the exit, a bell will sound into the underground palace.Canaan and the others had heard two before, but they fell into the Gu Eagle's lair, wasted time, and did not hear the remaining bells, and now seven people have reached the finish line.

These five apprentices were fighting over who could be the last three apprentices, but they didn't expect these four guys to emerge from the ground out of nowhere and stand in front of them!

When Salo saw their situation, he guessed roughly, and he shouted decisively, "Run!"

The three of Canaan immediately ran towards the exit. Although Hai Huan was carrying Luming on his back, his speed was not slow at all.There were various sounds of chanting spells behind them, and light balls of various colors continued to rain down on them around them, and countless spreading vines grew on the road in an attempt to restrain their hands and feet.They were forced to suffer unspeakably.

The exit was ahead, but the attacks behind them became more and more intensive, almost as merciless as to kill them.Salo stopped suddenly, and Canaan noticed it, and immediately turned around and called him, "What are you doing! Run!"

Salo didn't look back, and calmly faced the five apprentices who were chasing him, and waved at him, "I'll stop them!"

"The exit is just ahead! Let's go together!"

"There can only be ten winners." Salo said, turning his head and smiling at him, "Didn't you always want to win?"

After speaking, he opened his arms and began to chant mantras.In an instant, the corridor in front of him began to shake, and the stalagmites hanging in midair were crumbling.

"Hurry up!" Salo spoke in such a stern voice for the first time.

Canaan trembled a bit, looking at his resolute back, feeling sour in his eyes.But he still followed what Salo said, turned around, tried his best, and ran towards the hopeful Mingli.

The ten contestants who entered the final were thus determined.Canaan never dreamed that he could make it into the top ten.

He noticed that Huan Qing, who had pretended to be Hai Huan in the underground palace before, had also entered the finals.When the other party saw him, he smiled meaningfully.

Lu Ming had a bit of a concussion, but it didn't cause too much damage. After a few days in the medicine hall, he was alive and kicking again.Hai Huan stayed by his side all the time.Although Canaan was sad, he already knew in his heart that Hai Huan was special to Lu Ming.No matter how jealous I am, it won't help, so I gradually learn to let go.

Salo failed to enter the final, but he didn't seem too sad.When Canaan took the sesame cake he made to see him at the pharmacy that day, he was reading a book in a good mood.

Canaan put the basket on the low table next to the bed, pulled a chair and sat down beside his bed.

The two chatted for a while, and Canaan finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Saro, why are you helping me like this? I think I owe you too much." He lowered his eyes, avoiding Salo's sight.He's not used to someone being so nice to him.

However, Salo still had that half-smile, and teased, "Isn't it okay for others to treat you well? Are you afraid that if I like you, you can only agree with me? Don't worry, you don't suit my taste."

"……roll!"

"Haha! You are so cruel to your benefactor! You will be punished~"

Canaan sternly said, "I'm serious! We didn't know each other well before."

So Salo also put away his joking demeanor.And he really didn't even have a smile.

Canaan found that when Salo was not smiling, there was something colder than Hai Huan in his eyes.

"You really don't want to thank me." Salo said, "Actually, I'm also using you."

Canaan raised his eyebrows, "Really? Tell me how you used me? You helped me find the spirit stone and helped me enter the finals. Are you going to use me to help you get out of the burden of some family?" Liberation is so bloody, right?"

So Salo laughed again, amused by Canaan, "Just take it as it is. I wasn't interested in the Nine Witches at first, but Master asked me to join~"

The two talked happily that day, and Canaan had already regarded Salo as a close friend deep in his heart.

Although he doesn't understand Salo at all.

On the eve of the finals, ten contestants were invited to participate in another grand ceremony in the Great Wilderness Festival—the Yan of Lei Zu.It was a carnival among the Wuxian people. On that day, a grand banquet would be held in front of the Great Wilderness Temple, with bonfires and fireworks lit. People danced to the sound of music and got drunk all night long until dawn.According to the customs of the Wuxian people that day, the teenagers would grab the head flowers or hair accessories of the girls they love, and if they snatched them, it would be equivalent to a confession.If the girl agreed, she would dance with the boy, if she didn't agree, she would just run away.

The most outstanding apprentices among the ten clans were welcomed to the most conspicuous long table in the banquet amid the cheers of thousands of people, next to the long table of the great witch and the elders.Canaan was ranked fifth, and he looked back and forth calmly, as a way to get to know possible opponents in advance.

In addition to the Hai Huan (representing the blessing and curse witch system), Luming and Huanqing he knew, there are also Xiang Lu of the witch sword technique, Mo Ye of the herbal medicine technique, Hanshang of the transformation technique, Yiheng of the enchantment technique, and witchcraft. The dark feather of magic and the long field of divination.Among them, Hanshang and Moye are both girls.People from the nine shamanism schools entered the finals, and the Wuxie lineage was the most elated. Two apprentices made it to the finals, and both were from Qingyi's sect.Qingyi once again became famous, but what surprised her the most was that the two who passed the test and entered the finals turned out to be the two she was not optimistic about...

The banquet soon entered into a mood, the musicians played cheerful tunes, and the bonfire in the middle of the square was burning fiercely, eclipsing the stars reflected in the sky.The fireworks over the square continued to bloom one after another, and the lanterns swayed in the night wind.The teenagers chased the girls in the square, and hairpins, pearls, hairpins and silk flowers fell all over the ground.Not long after, the ten boys and girls at the banquet also joined the dancing crowd, and even Lu Ming ran out madly, leaving only Canaan and Huan Qing still in the banquet.

Canaan didn't expect that Hai Huan would also leave the table. While drinking from a silver wine glass, he searched for Hai Huan in the crowd.

However, he saw not far away, Hai Huan silently approached from behind Lu Ming, who was looking up at the dazzled Lu Ming, and suddenly reached out and pulled off the hairband on Lu Ming's head.

The long black hair lost its restraint and immediately fell down.Lu Ming looked back in surprise, and the moment he saw Hai Huan, it wasn't anger or rejection that was revealed, but the sweetness that was trying to be hidden was actually contained in that surprise.

And why did he see the tenderness in Hai Huan's eyes so clearly?

Canaan thought he was just in love secretly, so he gave up a long time ago, and there is nothing left.But at that moment, it still hurts so much that it can't be added.That kind of pain is not heart-piercing, but dull. At first you don’t think it’s serious at all, but that’s all, but after a while, you will find that the pain hasn’t diminished at all, it’s just so real It stayed there, pressing on the atrium, and even the blood stopped flowing.

Canaan hurriedly drank a large glass of wine, but choked himself.

At this time, another person suddenly sat beside him, but he still looked embarrassed with snot and tears all over his face.He struggled to look at the person with the most normal expression.

Huanqing's gorgeous and feminine face.

"Why don't you go dancing?" Huan Qing asked him.

Canaan said, "Can't jump..."

"Really? I don't like dancing either."

"I can't dance because I don't like dancing..."

"Bumping around with people I don't know, with so many germs, how dirty it is."

……

This person didn't listen to him at all, okay...

Canaan rolled his eyes in his heart, and really wanted to ignore his immersion in the sadness of losing his love...

However, this little boy has a heart-throb system similar to Hai Huan's, and he doesn't even like social activities such as dancing. Is it true that these popular characters who are liked by many people are so noble...

Tsk... Isn't it because others like them that they can be so superior, if one day they don't like Haihuan, he is a fool?

He is not as good as Ah Shuang!That's right, he, Canaan, still has Ah Shuang!He is not alone!

Although he is still having trouble with Ah Shuang...

"What are you thinking?" Huan Qing asked again from the side.Canaan finds it very annoying, does this person think that he is beautiful, so people all over the world have to endure his boring questions?

It has to be said that Canaan now has a strong resentment against these talented and beautiful sons of heaven...

So he replied angrily, "Why should I tell you?"

"It's okay if you don't tell me. If I want to know, you will tell me, do you believe it?"

"Just rely on your charm? Didn't I break it last time?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Huan Qing's face became ugly, "It was your luck that time, and your monster, you actually asked the monster to come out to help, is that fair?"

"You can use charm, but I can't use summoning? Are you unreasonable?"

"What is Li, I'm not familiar with it." Huan Qing raised his chin narcissistically and arrogantly, then suddenly turned his head and asked him with interest, "But who was I that you saw that day?"

"...You don't even know who you were pretending to be?"

Huan Qing looked at him very innocently, "I just used the Illusion Charm on you, I only knew that I was pretending to be someone you like, but I don't know who it is." Huan Qing thought about it, and suddenly realized , "Ah! Could it be that you don't like human-shaped things but animals, so my charm doesn't work for you! Aren't you Summoners all a little beast-loving?"

Canaan was so enraged by this narcissist that he was about to yell, "You fucking love beasts! How dare you scold people if you don't know what you're capable of?!" But after he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of Ah Shuang, and instantly felt a little bit guilty conscience.Huan Qing, who is proficient in charm, naturally could easily detect his mood swings, so the other party laughed even harder, "You really like animals! Did you save that nine-tailed fox that day! It's really delicious!"

"Your uncle!!!" Canaan was so angry that he punched him directly, but was grabbed by the other party.Na Huanqing lazily squinted her charming eyes, "You don't hit people in the face, you can beat me with such a pretty face. Are you human?"

Canaan struggled hard, but Huan Qing was so strong that she couldn't break free!

Canaan wondered if he should call Erbai out to scratch the narcissist's face.But before he could put this idea into practice, another hand suddenly grabbed Huan Qing's wrist, forcing him to let go.

Canaan looked up unexpectedly, but saw Hai Huan's cold face.

Huan Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, "What are you doing?"

Hai Huan frowned slightly, "What are you doing?"

Canaan is stupid, is Hai Huan helping him out?

This is... what's the situation...

...

At this moment, Lu Ming also ran over, and the headband that was torn off just now was tied on his head again. "What's wrong?" he yelled.

Hai Huan remained silent, just staring at Huan Qing.Canaan has never seen Hai Huan show such a cold gaze, which can even turn into an ice knife to pierce people.

Huanqing smiled, and withdrew her hand lightly, "Huan Meiren, although you are beautiful, it will be annoying to be so rude all the time."

Hai Huan said coldly, "It's up to you." Then he turned to Hai Huan, "Come with us."

"Ah?" Canaan didn't even have time to ask, and was pulled up by Hai Huan, and trotted away from the banquet.He turned his head to look at Huan Qing, who smiled charmingly at him without fear of death, and gave him a wink by the way.

Canaan had goosebumps all over his body, and turned his head quickly.

Passing through the crowd, they came to a place farther away from the banquet.Only then did Hai Huan let go of Canaan, and glanced at him with a complicated look on his face.

Canaan didn't know what Hai Huan was doing.He's always like this, after doing some misleading and fanciful things, then let you understand that he has nothing for you.Just like saving him from Yu Qilin before, covering him with his coat, attracting Xiao Xiangliu in the underground palace so that he can escape, seeing how he cares for him after being injured...

So Canaan was a little angry this time.He looked at Lu Ming and Hai Huan, and said quickly, "I'm tired, I'm going home first."

Lu Ming was stunned, "Why are you going back so soon?"

"Don't go back, stay here as a light bulb?" Canaan deliberately wanted to say it lightly, but no matter how he heard it, he felt sour.

Lu Ming panicked all of a sudden, as if his mind was exposed in an instant.He blushed and stuttered, "You, you, you...what nonsense!"

On the contrary, Canaan spread his hands as if letting go, "I saw it, didn't Hai Huan pull your hairband just now?"

Canaan didn't dare to look at Hai Huan from the beginning to the end.So he didn't know Hai Huan's expression.

Lu Ming panicked even more, "...then...then...he..."

Canaan couldn't take it anymore.Now he desperately wants to see Ah Shuang, and wants to know that there is still Ah Shuang waiting for him in the forest.

However, before he left, a majestic and heavy voice suddenly resounded through the entire square, overshadowing the noise and joyful music of the crowd.

That voice belonged to Wu Xian.

For a moment, the entire square was silent, and everyone looked in the chairman's direction.I saw the distinguished old man in black robe slowly stand up from his seat, uttering words slowly, but the words are very important.

"Just received the information. The Yumin Kingdom has broken through the west gate of my Xuanyuan Kingdom and seized two cities. Xuanyuan Kingdom has officially declared war on the Yumin Kingdom. His Majesty the Emperor has already left the Wuxian Clan and rushed back to Chang'an. Starting today, the Great Desolation God Festival It will be canceled together with the Nine Witches. All ministries will start preparing for battle!"
