lead fades away

After being caught by Han Shuo, Qingshi calmed down, touched Wangshuo comfortingly, and smiled back to Han Shuo, "Han Zhenjun, you can call me Qingshi, but please don't add the word Yan." .”

"Qingshi? If you are Qingshi, then which Qingshi did Fengxi find?!" Han Shuo stared at Qingshi, as if he wanted to penetrate his heart with his gaze.

——Ah, has that kid been found?

Qing Shi read a sentence silently, but he was not surprised.Yan Qingshi's natal jade token has always been in Feng Xi's hands, when he disappeared like this, Feng Xi's first reaction would be to use the natal jade token to find someone.Even if Han Shuo knew that he was not the real Yan Qingshi, he would inevitably let Fengxi look for it with the mentality of giving it a try, but the result is of course predictable, the Yan Qingshi Fengxi found was not the Qingshi Han Shuo was looking for. , even, that person's name is no longer "Yan Qing Shi".

"If Han Zhenjun thinks that I am not worthy of the name Qingshi, he can call me whatever he wants, or he can simply treat me as dead and find the real Yan Qingshi." Qingshi shrugged, half-truth and half-false He replied, "If Han Zhenjun has lost interest in the name Yan Qingshi, it doesn't matter, anyway, there is still Yan Xi who is exactly the same as Wuyou Xianjun..."

"Shut up!" Han Shuo clenched his fists angrily, but before he could say anything or make a move, an unexpected guest interrupted their long-lost reunion.

"Han Zhenjun?" An elegant yet masculine voice came from behind Han Shuo, and immediately after, Yan Xi's handsome figure appeared beside Han Shuo.

"Whoever says it will be there!" Qing Shi sneered on his face, but his fingers grabbed Wang Shuo's collar and lifted it suggestively twice.

Seeing Han Shuo confronting a low-level cultivator wearing a mask, Yan Xi couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and seeing Han Shuo's Lingjie standing intimately with this person, there was a little bit of strangeness in his stunned expression. Immediately ignoring Qingshi's sneer, he turned to Han Shuo and asked with a smile, "Han Zhenjun, this cultivator is..."

"Of course it is someone he is absolutely unwilling to introduce to you." Qing Shi answered first.

Han Shuo immediately glared, "You..."

As soon as his words came out of his mouth, Qing Shi immediately grabbed Wang Shuo and jumped towards the stone road outside the living room like flying.

It was only then that Han Shuo realized that Qingshi was just bickering to find an opportunity to escape, and it was not the reason he expected at all, so he couldn't help reaching out his hand out of embarrassment, wanting to grab him back to his side.But he has been a high-ranking monk for too long, and he has long been accustomed to the coercion of spiritual consciousness, so although he stretched out his hand, his body did not move with it, but subconsciously released his spiritual consciousness, trying to hold Qing Shi down.

However, under the effect of the protective array, the spiritual consciousness cannot be separated from the physical body. When Han Shuo realized that the spiritual consciousness was useless, Qing Shi had already landed on a stone slab outside the living room with Wang Shuo.It was too late for Han Shuo to start to arrest people, he could only watch helplessly as the stone slab under Qingshi's feet cracked suddenly, engulfing Qingshi and Wangshuo in it.

After the stone slab was closed again, Han Shuo angrily chased after him. Without thinking about it, he clenched his fist and smashed down on the stone slab.

There was a loud sound of "Kara", and the whole stone slab turned into a pile of debris and splashed in all directions.

But after the debris cleared away, there were no traces of Qingshi and Wangsuo below. There was only a small hole one person tall, and the strange runes engraved on the bottom and surrounding soil walls could be vaguely seen.

Reluctantly, Han Shuo jumped in, but the walls on all sides were solid soil walls. Han Shuo dug a few times with his sword, but only a pile of black mud was dug out.

Yan Xi also jumped down from the wall at this time, walked to the side of the hole, looked around for a while, and said, "Han Zhenjun, this is a teleportation circle, if you dig it, it will destroy the circle, making it unusable again. .”

Han Shuo put away Longyaji, and cast a cold glance at Yanxi, "What does that have to do with you?"

"Han Zhenjun, I don't mean anything malicious, why do you always keep people away?" Yan Xi shook her head helplessly, "I have quite a lot of research on this kind of medieval magic circle, if you want to stay here Find that person, and I can help you."

Han Shuo was silent for a while, and then said, "You said this is a teleportation circle, then, do you know where it will teleport people?"

"Let me take a closer look." Saying that, Yan Xi also jumped down.

Han Shuo immediately stepped aside, but the space in the cave was not that big, and the cave would inevitably become crowded as soon as Yan Xi came down.Han Shuo didn't stay below to stare at Yan Xi, he just jumped back to the surface and waited for his survey results.

Seeing Han Shuo deliberately avoiding her, Yan Xi's eyes flashed a trace of annoyance, but her face didn't show at all, and she focused on observing the remaining rune marks in the cave.

After about a stick of incense, just when Han Shuo was getting impatient, Yan Xi finally straightened up, raised her head and said to Han Shuo, "Han Zhenjun, the destination of this teleportation circle should be a place in the west. It is about ten feet deep and hundreds of feet away from here, if Han Zhenjun wants to find someone, he must first enter the underground palace."

"Thank you, Immortal Yan." When Han Shuo was standing behind Qingshi, he saw the monks of Danmen enter the underground palace from the entrance of the living room. She bowed her hands to Yanxi, then walked quickly to the living room next to her without looking back.

Yan Xi originally wanted Han Shuo to pull him up, but Han Shuo didn't notice his movement at all, and threw the back of his head directly to him.

The outstretched hand was immediately clenched into a fist by Yan Xi, and veins popped out of her handsome face in an instant.

Qing Shi didn't expect that there was a teleportation circle under the stone slab, he only thought it was a magic circle underneath, but he never imagined that the moment his feet touched the ground and before he had time to stand still, a sense of deja vu oppressed him. The scene in front of him also changed, from a dark wall to a spacious and bright hall.

Qingshi subconsciously looked to the right, saw that Wang Shuo's collar was still in his hand, and Wang Shuo was following beside him, so he was slightly relieved, fortunately the teleportation circle didn't teleport people separately kind of.

"What happened?" Wang Shuo also came back to his senses at this time, and couldn't help asking immediately, "Why did we come here? Where is this?"

"Obviously, we entered a teleportation circle just now, so we were teleported here—as for where this place is, I don't know for the time being." Qing Shi answered while looking at the hall, his right hand still tightly grasping the Shuo dared not loosen his collar.

"Then, where should we go now?" Wang Shuo asked anxiously.

"Just walk around and watch." Qing Shi shrugged nonchalantly.

After the teleportation circle just now, and looking at the hall in front of him, Qingshi couldn't help but redefine the origin and purpose of this underground palace. At least, it was definitely not built just to tease people like his cave. of.

Looking at the wooden doors painted with red paint on the left and the right, Qing couldn't find the difference between the two for a while, hesitated for a while, and decided to go to the left first, so he pulled Wang Shuo's collar and pulled it Go to the red door on the left.

Qing Shi cautiously did not reach out to push the door directly, but turned his hand and took out a slender silver needle from the treasure bag, first knocked on the wooden door a few times, and saw that there was no abnormal reaction, then used his spiritual power Wraps around the doorknob, trying to open it with object control.It's just that no matter how lightly you pull or push, the wooden door doesn't move at all, not even shaking.

Qing Shi was stunned for a moment, and quickly poured his spiritual power into it along the gap between the doors, walked back and forth inside, quickly retracted his spiritual power in embarrassment, and then put the silver needle back into the treasure bag.

"What's wrong?" Wang Shuo asked curiously.

"This is a fake door. There is a layer of cast iron inside, which is embedded in the wall next to it. It can't be opened at all." Qing Shi curled his lips and walked towards the opposite red door. He also used his spiritual power to investigate, and soon Got exactly the same result.

—Is it impossible that there is no exit?

Qing Shi turned his head and looked at the hall seriously, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt that this place was very ordinary, and he couldn't find anything unusual at all.

In desperation, Qingshi had no choice but to use the most stupid method—to explore bit by bit with spiritual power.

After such a toss, when Qingshi finally found the exit in a corner of the hall, half an hour almost passed.

——Sure enough, the Dongfu is used to embarrass others.

While slandering inwardly, Qingshi lifted the floor at the exit, revealing a dark hole.

"Do you go down first or should I go down first?" Qing Shi asked Wang Shuo.

"Can't we go down together?" Wang Shuo was very embarrassed.

"Uh, can you still get smaller? If so, I can try to hold you down." Qing Shi suggested.

"Yes!" Wang Shuo immediately shrank to the size of a cat, and jumped into Qing Shi's arms.

Qingshi shook it a bit before hugging it, and then, ignoring complaints, she took a step forward and jumped into the hole.

The hall above was brightly lit by night pearls, but the tunnel below had no light at all.Because no one came after nearly half an hour of tossing, it was only light that the teleportation circle outside could not be reused or would not be sent to the same place repeatedly, and did not bother to cover the floor above the head. With the light pouring down from above, he looked at the tunnel he was in.

"Why didn't you leave? Is there any danger?" Wang Shuo asked nervously.

"It's not dangerous..." Qing Shi replied hesitantly.He really didn't see any danger in this section of the road. The reason why he hesitated was because he felt that this tunnel was too rough, as if it was built brick by brick by mortals in the lower world, without any trace of magic.

Qingshi couldn't help being curious, just now he couldn't tell the difference between south, east and north, so he just held Wang Shuo and continued with his previous choice, walking casually towards the left.

Although you can't see your fingers in the tunnel, but you have excellent five senses, and you don't have to worry about tripping and bumping into the wall after gathering the spiritual power in your eyes, but you still dare not put Wangshuo down for fear of encountering something suddenly on the road An accident, let it get separated from itself accidentally.

After walking for about a cup of tea, there was a fork in the road ahead, and Qing didn't think much about it. The underground palace without any trace of spells made him unable to think about it at all. He just continued his previous choice and continued to the left.

Then there is another fork in the road, and again to the left.

This was repeated three or four times. Although there were a few empty halls that I didn't know what they were used for, the tunnel still didn't end.Qing Shi went in to have a look at it at first, but after not finding any valuable traces, he lost interest and just kept going straight along the tunnel.

——I don't believe it can lose its head!

Qing Shi was thinking like this, but suddenly there was a human voice in front of him.

Qingshi quickly stopped, took out the breath-contracting talisman and the sound-proof array plate, patted the breath-contracting talisman on Wangshuo, hung the array plate on his waist, then walked forward slowly with Wangshuo in his arms.

The voice came from behind an iron gate next to the tunnel, and it seemed that someone was arguing there.

The door was ajar and was not locked, and the noise of the dispute became louder and louder. Before Qing Shi got close to the door, he heard the two voices inside clearly.

"...If it weren't for our Wang Yunzong's support, how much better would your Southwest Yan Clan be than the Hengyu Yan Clan? It's just the same thing!"

"My relationship with Han Shuo has nothing to do with the Yan Clan, so don't gossip about it maliciously and tarnish my Yan Clan's reputation!"

The former voice was very unfamiliar, but the latter one was just heard, it was Yan Xi who had been sticking to Han Shuo's side before.

——Where is this trouble?

Qing Shi continued to listen very curiously.

The unfamiliar voice seemed to be accusing Yanxi and Southwest Yinyan of treachery and alliance with Wangyunzong for many years, but now they covet Han Shuo's reputation and cling to Xiantrumen.Just talking, the tone changed, and Yanshi and Xianchumen were no longer mentioned in the words, only cursing and mocking Yanxi for sticking to Han Shuo, as if he couldn't eat grapes Then he said sour grapes, because of jealousy and hatred.

It didn't take long for Yan Xi's voice to quiet down, and she was more restrained when she occasionally replied a few words.

As soon as Yanxi showed weakness, the unfamiliar voice gradually weakened, and finally couldn't help but speak out, "Yanxi, what other advantages does Han Shuo have besides his high cultivation? Even if you dedicate yourself to him, Xianchu It is impossible for the family to accept your Yan family, so why do you waste yourself? And I, I have been in love with you for a long time, I hope that Yunzong and your Yan family have also been friends for generations, we are a match made in heaven, a perfect match!"

"Yang Xianjun..." Hearing these words, Yan Xi sighed quietly and then stopped talking, as if he was about to say something.

But another voice quickly called out in surprise, "Yanxi, no, Xi'er, you...you—"

But in an instant, the voice changed from surprise to panic, and it stopped abruptly like Yan Xi's previous sigh, and then there was no more movement, but Yan Xi let out a cold snort, mocking and contemptuous.

Qing Shi moved his ears, and found that there was no second person's aura inside, but there was an obvious smell of blood, obviously Yan Xi attacked suddenly and killed the monk of Wang Yunzong with one blow.

——Even the Nascent Soul didn’t escape?What a good way!

——If Wuyou has three points of his ability, he probably won't end up with the demons invading his body and destroying his soul!

Qing Shi sighed, raised his hand to take off the mask on his face, put it together with the disk around his waist into the storage ring, then raised his hand to push the door and walked in.

Sure enough, there was one standing inside and one lying down.It was Yan Xi who was standing, holding a nearly transparent dagger in his hand, he could vaguely see something shaking in the blade of the dagger; while the monk lying down could not see his face, But what he was wearing was the costume of a monk from the Xianchumen Nascent Soul, and blood was obviously overflowing from his body.

After the murder, Yan Xi was naturally very nervous, but when she saw Qing Shi's face, her nervousness immediately turned into surprise, "Xiaohui?! You—why are you here?"

"Why can't I be here?" Qing Shi asked coldly.He didn't know the relationship between Wuyou and Yanxi, so he could only pretend to be indifferent and profound.

"You've been away from home for so long, we thought you were already..." Yan Xi said, her eyes turned to Wang Shuo, her eyebrows raised, "Isn't this Han Zhenjun's soul? How could it... you... ...Are you the person Han Shuo is looking for?"

"Don't tell me, you didn't expect that I am worry-free." Qing Shi said indifferently.

Yan Xi immediately raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a sneer of contempt, "I'm just wondering, how could there be someone exactly like me, so you pretended to be me—how? My face is still useful?"

"No matter how easy it is to use, it's fake, it's fake after all." Qing Shi slightly sighed, "I can imitate your face, but I can't imitate your viciousness after all."

"Leaving home, you've become smarter." Yanxi said meaningfully, playing with the dagger in her hand, "It's a pity, I still prefer Xiaohui who follows me all day and calls him brother. No matter what I say, you They all foolishly believed that it was true—very cute and pitiful.”

Qing Shi grinned, "You don't even want to tell me a lie anymore, is it because you have already planned to kill me like you killed this guy on the ground?"

"Xiaohui, you're too smart, it's not good." Yan Xi squinted her eyes, but she didn't rush to make a move. Instead, she asked curiously, "Listen to them, you have already advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage, why are you still in the Nascent Soul Stage? Became a foundation-building practice? Could it be that something has happened to you?"

"You want to kill me already, so why ask so many questions?" Qing Shi caressed Wang Shuo in his arms, also in a calm manner.

"Hey, I originally thought that if you were harmed to such a degree by others, I would avenge you, but you refused to appreciate it." Yan Xi sighed very sadly, and then smiled sweetly. Said, "But I also want to thank you. If you didn't show up and let me know that you are the person Han Shuo is thinking about, I really don't know how to deal with this piece of wood. It turns out that he likes it. It's you idiot!"

As soon as the words fell, Yan Xi turned the dagger in her hand and stabbed towards Qing Shi straightly.

But he only made such a movement, and in the next moment, he was surprised to find that his body could not move, as if he was firmly bound by a rope, and he did not listen to his soul at all.

Secretly saying that it's not good, Yan Xi subconsciously wanted to separate her Nascent Soul from her body, trying to kill the man in front of her even if her Nascent Soul was damaged, but his body seemed to have an extra layer of barriers, and he insisted on killing the Yuan Ying. The baby is trapped in the body and cannot leave!

Qing Shi walked forward with a smile, raised his hand and pulled out the translucent dagger from Yan Xi's hand, looked at it carefully, and said to himself, "It turned out to be a soul-devouring dagger that can devour the primordial spirit!" Blade, the Yan family in the southwest really hides a lot of good things!"

Yan Xi opened her mouth, wanting to beg Qing Shi for mercy, but her tongue could still move normally, but her throat couldn't make any sound.

"Don't waste your energy." Qingshi held Wangshuo in one hand, patted Yanxi's cheek with a dagger, and said with a smile, "You should be lucky, I don't have the bad habit of killing, so——you will die Very happy!"

With the quick word out, Qing Shi has already removed the dagger in his hand from Yan Xi's cheek, and stabbed it into his chest mercilessly.

Watching Yan Xi's eyes turn from bright to dark, and finally turned into a hollow death, Qing Shi slowly pulled out the dagger from his chest, ignoring the still standing stiff body, and only lowered his head to the trapped body. Nascent Soul in the dagger laughed softly, "I forgot to tell you one more thing, I am not Xiaohui."
