Brother, can you save me again?

The days are fleeting, and tomorrow is the day to set off for the alliance test, Xu Zeran packed his small package, and lay down in the house eating sunflower seeds with peace of mind.

The sunlight was just right, passing through the layers of bamboo leaves, it fell deeply and shallowly, and when it fell on Xu Zeran's body, it became a large and small light spot.

Dai Dai in the distant mountains, April in the world.

The melon seeds sent by Shen Shuiyun were all excellent in appearance and taste, Xu Zeran's lips and teeth were fragrant, and when the sun shined on them, he felt drowsy again.After a while, the sound of knocking melon seeds stopped abruptly, and Xu Zeran fell asleep on the recliner with melon seeds in one hand.

The system kept chatting with Xu Zeran while simulating the sound of cracking melon seeds. When Xu Zeran fell asleep, it stopped the sound, and the room was silent for a while.

But the quiet and peaceful atmosphere did not last long.

Xu Zeran was woken up by the sound of the system mechanically deducting points.

[Drip, the system detects that the evaluation value of the target Qi Hong’s kindness has dropped by 5 points, to -66 points; the host Xu Zeran’s original accumulated points have been deducted by 25 points, to 70 points. 】

Xu Zeran was frightened and jumped up from the recliner. He was stunned for a while, and said, "The system deducted points when you come out?"

Also all of a sudden lost 25 points!

The system trembled and said: [You can find out by climbing the window. 】

After finishing speaking, he instructed: [Be careful. 】

When Xu Zeran heard this, he carefully leaked half of his eyes from the window. His window was facing the door of Qi Hong's house. Looking at it this way, Xu Zeran felt chills and knew the reason why his points were deducted.

From his point of view, the door of Qi Hong's room was wide open at this time, and he was lifted off the ground by his neck with both hands, and pressed against the door.

The owner of those hands, Xu Zeran, could only see a figure from the back, but he could tell who it was with just one figure.

Tianlu Xianzun Chu Yunliu.

Chu Yunliu was holding Qi Hong in one hand and a small dagger in the other, and was going to goug out three inches of Qi Hong's heart.

Three inches above the heart is where the spirit root is.

The dagger pierced the flesh, and stirred it twice in a circle, sporadic fiery red flowed out along the blood, which was Qi Hong's crushed spiritual root.

But suffering from the pain of heart-wrenching, Qi Hong's face was still warm, he sighed lightly, and said in a gentle voice: "Master, I really can't remember how I got up from Du'e Cliff."

Looking at this room, Xu Zeran felt pain in his heart.

After seeing Chu Yunliu in the meeting hall, he began to retreat on the top of the cliff. Xu Zeran thought that for immortal cultivators like them, if they retreated for decades, they would have to go through three or four winters and summers, at least to meet the alliance test Before, I couldn't see Chu Yun staying.

I didn't expect that the retreat would not last for a month, and the first thing after coming out of the retreat was to trouble Qi Hong.

Xu Zeran just wanted to exclaim, what a guy.

But the reality didn't leave time for him to complain, the system reminded him: [If you hesitate, you will lose. If you don't think about it, you may end up here today. 】

Xu Zeran gritted his teeth and said, "What can I do? Go and fight Chu Yunliu to the death?"

The system said seriously: [Judging from the strength of the two of you, the word "fight to the death" is used in a hurry here, crushing is more appropriate. 】

Xu Zeran: "..."

He didn't have time to quarrel with the system. Seeing the dagger that Chu Yun stirred in Qi Hong's body, he was heartbroken and rushed out of the room heroically.

Then he didn't notice, tripped over the threshold, staggered, and just fell out of the door.

Qi Hong and Chu Yunliu obviously didn't expect this scene to happen, Qi Hong's lips curled up, and he didn't forget to ask: "Brother, why are you so anxious, you might as well slow down."

Different from his gentle tone, the young man's eyes are no longer the clear and warm eyes that Xu Zeran has seen these days. His eyes are darker than ordinary people's, like a person standing on the cliff of Du'e going down, dark and cold. There is no trace of human emotion.

As soon as Xu Zeran raised his head, he met Qi Hong like this, and he seemed to have just glimpsed a little of the real Qi Hong.

Seeing Qi Hong like this, Xu Zeran subconsciously smiled at him.

Soft and comforting.

Qi Hong's smile froze, he lowered his head slightly, and stopped looking at Xu Zeran.

Chu Yunliu didn't tell Xu Zeran to be careful like Qi Hong did. He didn't even turn his head, his hands kept moving, and he just uttered one word coldly: "Get out."

It is impossible to roll, so Xu Zeran straightened his back: "I have been practicing recently, and I have a problem that I can't solve. I would like to ask Master for guidance."

The sound resounded throughout the small courtyard, causing Chu Yun to pause.

Perhaps Xu Zeran's dog-legged style of not seeking to make progress and doing nothing is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but Chu Yunliu was a little surprised when he became aggressive all of a sudden.

He pulled the dagger out of Qi Hong's heart, wiped the blood on Qi Hong's skirt, loosened the restraint on Qi Hong, turned around, and his eyes fell lightly on Xu Zeran.

Xu Zeran immediately leaked a flattering smile: "I can't tell what I don't understand for a while, why don't I go to the peak with the master, and then ask the master for advice."

With such a dirty face, and such a smile, the impact is too great. People who practice Taoism are mostly good-looking. Chu Yun has stayed for so many years, and the people who are qualified to stand in front of him are either handsome men or beautiful women. Such a person as Xu Zeran Such an ugly and extraordinary person, with such a smile, Chu Yun's heart suddenly twitched.

He moved his fingers, and the desire to see blood appeared in his heart.

Xu Zeran said again: "Junior brother Qi is going to go to the alliance test tomorrow, if I get master's guidance today, I will follow my junior brother on the road tomorrow, and I will be able to protect myself more."

After hearing his words, Chu Yunliu was silent for a moment, and then said, "You follow this deity."

After he finished speaking, there was a ripple all over his body, and in the blink of an eye, the Venerable in white disappeared into the courtyard.

Seeing that he finally left, Xu Zeran breathed a sigh of relief, at least Qi Hong passed the test, and he didn't have to worry about being deducted points.

Chu Yun could not wait for anyone, Xu Zeran glanced at Qi Hong who was hanging his head in confusion, and only had time to reassure him that he was not afraid, and hurried to the peak.

When he arrived at the bamboo courtyard left by Chu Yun on the top of the mountain, before he could speak in the future, he was strangled by the spiritual power left by Chu Yun, and lifted his head up into the air.

"Master, what is the meaning of this?" Xu Zeran was strangled, unable to breathe, and reluctantly asked.

Being tortured by Chu Yunliu for the second time, Xu Zeran even thought about how Qi Hong spoke so freely just now.

Chu Yunliu didn't answer him, but moved his fingertips lightly, and Xu Zeran felt things go down his throat one by one.

The spiritual power disappeared, and Xu Zeran fell from midair with a bang. He lay on the ground and retched for a long time, probably he didn't vomit out anything.

Chu Yunliu stood in front of him, watching him struggle quietly with downcast eyes: "The great test of the alliance will take at most one year, and within one year, you kill Qi Hong, and this deity will give you the antidote."

Xu Zeran slowly stopped retching, for a long time, his voice was still hoarse, but he said with a smile: "Junior brother Qi is already at the golden core stage, and I'm only at the rebirth stage, so there is no way I can kill junior brother Qi."

Chu Yun said calmly: "This deity will make people cooperate, and you will know it when you fall."

Hearing what he said, Xu Zeran recalled that during Qi Hong's participation in the alliance test, he suffered several inexplicable assassinations, and even nearly endangered his life once.Of course, with the protection of the protagonist's halo, the assassination failed, but it became a stepping stone for him to gain experience, making Qi Hong stronger and stronger.

However, Qi Hong has never figured out who assassinated him. Now that Chu Yunliu said so, combined with the plot, Xu Zeran seemed to know who assassinated Qi Hong.

Thinking this way, Xu Zeran had a submissive smile on his face: "The disciple understands."

Chu Yunliu stepped on Xu Zeran's fingertips that were propped on the ground, and when the toes were crushed, the sound of finger bones breaking could be heard clearly: "Qi Hong can't be killed, you can only die, so put away those little thoughts for me."

Xu Zeran's intention to protect Qi Hong just now, in Chu Yunliu's view, was so clear and stupid.

With his fingers connected to his heart, Xu Zeran was dripping with cold sweat in pain. He swallowed the pain into his throat, and said in a low voice: "The disciple understands."

Chu Yunliu nodded slightly, and with a wave of his long sleeves, Xu Zeran was thrown out of the door by him just like last time.

Xu Zeran dragged his swollen pig's head finger, first went to Yaofeng to find Shen Shuiyun, Shen Shuiyun yelled in fright at his embarrassment.

Sitting on the stool, Xu Zeran said apologetically, "I'm sorry for disturbing my junior brother's sleep."

But he was really in pain. One of the unpromising things that Xu Zeran didn't want to be known was that he was really afraid of pain.

Shen Shuiyun scratched his head: "It's nothing to disturb, but brother, who are you fighting with?"

Xu Zeran said sincerely: "I said I fell down, do you believe me?"

Shen Shuiyun: "..."

When Shen Shuiyun went to dispense the medicine, Xu Zeran dragged his chin with his intact hand to chat with the system.

"You work in the system, don't you have any medicine to sell? For example, it can cure the poison that Chu Yun left for me."

The system pondered: [Yes, there is, but you can't afford it. 】

Xu Zeran straightened his back: "How much does it cost?"

[It’s not the previous question, it’s about your points. The antidote to this thing in your body needs a thousand points, bro, do you want it? 】

Xu Zeran calculated with his fingers, one thousand points, that Qi Hong should transform into a five-good young man from now on, help the old lady cross the road at noon and rescue injured animals at night, treat Chu Yun with respect to his teacher, and recite Amitabha Buddha whenever he is free...

This is not a thousand points, is it? !

Xu Zeran suddenly became depressed.

The system hurriedly said: [Don't be sad, haven't I finished talking yet? 】

Xu Zeran: "Go ahead and say, I'll lose if I can afford it."

The system said: [We still have holiday discounts, like Qixi Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, and Christmas. As a humanized system, we will offer discount services for many products at that time. 】

[Let me figure it out,] After pressing the computer for a while, the system's friendly voice sounded, [If the host completes the task well, I can give you a [-]% discount, [-] points, the host can still earn money if you work hard!By the way, besides buying the antidote and killing Qi Hong, the host has another method. 】

Xu Zeran asked: "What method?"

The system replied: [Kill Chu Yunliu, you were poisoned by a kind of voodoo, and the mother voodoo is in his body. If you kill Chu Yunliu, you will be fine. 】

Xu Zeran smiled: "I might as well commit suicide..."

After Xu Ze took the medicine from Shen Shuiyun, on the way back to Qingyu Peak, he was always calculating how to quickly earn these five hundred points to save his life.

Killing Qi Hong cannot kill Qi Hong. As a reader, Xu Zeran has a deep understanding of Qi Hong's combat effectiveness.Even Chu Yunliu couldn't be killed, he was going to be killed by Qi Hong.

Then there are only two ways to buy medicine from the system and commit suicide.

Xu Zeran deeply suspected that he was the worst time traveler in history.

When he returned to the yard, it was already late at night, and Qi Hong's house was confinement, and it was dark, and he seemed to be asleep.Xu Zeran went back to the house, washed off the "makeup" on his face, and carefully applied the ointment prepared by Shen Shuiyun on his swollen index finger by candlelight.

Just when he blew out the candle and got into bed and was about to sleep, the door of the room was knocked awake, and Qi Hong's gentle voice sounded outside the door: "Senior brother is back, I have something to ask senior brother, can I go in?"

Now that Xu Zeran has finished removing all the makeup on his face, of course it is impossible to let him in, so he said: "I'm going to bed already, let's talk about what I have to do tomorrow, and the younger brother should also go to bed earlier."

Qi Hong was "unyielding" and said, "Brother, are you angry with me?"

Xu Zeran really didn't know what he could be angry with, but Qi Hong said so, it seemed that he would not give up if he didn't come in, so Xu Zeran could only say: "Junior brother, push the door and come in."

With a soft squeak, the door was pushed open, and Qi Hong entered the room with a cold body in the middle of the night.

The night in April was still cold, Qi Hong stood at the door, dissipating the cold air, and then approached the bed where Xu Zeran was lying.

Because there is no wind and no moon outside the house, and there is no candlelight inside the house, it is completely black and you can't see your fingers.Xu Zeran buried his head in the quilt, only a pair of eyes leaked out, and vaguely saw a black figure walking to the bed, and said in a low voice, "Do you want to tell me, Junior Brother?"

Qi Hong said, "I'll see if my brother is injured."

Xu Zeran blinked, and said: "I didn't suffer any injuries, but my junior, go back and rest quickly, tomorrow I will go to the Huimeng for a test."

There was a bit of helplessness in the voice from Qi Hong: "Senior brother, you are not injured, why is there such a smell of ointment in this room? I got a herbal medicine in Duer Yadi, which is very useful for skin and flesh wounds. I will apply it on the senior brother. Tomorrow will be all right."

Xu Zeran was silent, he twitched his nose and smelled it, but he didn't smell any ointment at all.

Relying on the fact that Qi Hong couldn't see, Xu Zeran curled his lips, and finally stretched out his arm from the quilt, and handed it to Qi Hong: "Here, there is a little injury."

Immediately afterwards, Xu Zeran felt a pair of cold hands grasping his wrists. Qi Hong found his injured finger very accurately. He picked up a little juice from the crushed herbs in his hand. He didn't need a candle, just like that. He covered Xu Zeran's injured finger carefully with his head.

Xu Zeran was held hands and smeared with herbal medicine, and the whole person was lying in bed and drowsy. At this moment, Qi Hong, who had been silently applying the medicine to him, said, "This afternoon, brother is trying to comfort me not to be afraid?"

"Ah?" Xu Zeran was caught off guard by this inexplicable question.

He squinted his eyes and thought for a while, before he remembered that before he went to the peak, he seemed to have told Qi Hong not to be afraid.

In fact, in modern times, Xu Zeran went to a kindergarten as a teaching assistant for a month. At that time, he had a bad mouth. When he took a nap at noon, he told the children a horror story as a bedtime story. God, when I heard the soymilk machine making soymilk, I grabbed Xu Zeran's sleeve and said I was afraid.

At that time, Xu Zeran developed the habit of comforting others not to be afraid when he saw something bad, which was a mantra that could only be triggered at special times.

He was so sleepy that he was fascinated, and said to Qi Hong: "Ah, I said I'm not afraid, if you don't like it, I won't say it next time."

Maybe this kind of Long Aotian doesn't like others saying that he is afraid.

Qi Hong fell silent, and after applying medicine to Xu Zeran's fingers, Qi Hong stuffed his arm back into the quilt.

He only answered Xu Zeran at this time, with a very serious tone, saying word by word: "Brother, I'm not afraid."
