After I turned into a villain, I carried the hero and ran away

Zhao Qingxing stopped the sword suddenly, and tentatively moved a certain distance, but the eyes of the people below could always precisely lock on him.

He got goosebumps from seeing him, and he turned around and flew back to Pei Yanting's room without hesitation.

"Brother Pei, Brother Pei!!!" Zhao Qingxing nimbly got into the window, slammed the window and door with his backhand, and moved the shelf and table anxiously, pressing the window and door firmly.

Pei Yanting was taken aback by his actions, and then the anger and panic in his heart came out belatedly, and he couldn't help but sternly said: "What are you doing climbing the window in the middle of the night? In case I don't catch you, What will happen if you fall from here?"

"Yes, you are right, it is my fault."

Zhao Qingxing didn't refute at all, but the speed of admitting his mistake blocked Pei Yanting's words that came out of his throat.

"Listen to me." Zhao Qingxing looked towards the window, and leaned into Pei Yanting's ear: "This Lihuawu is very strange."

He told what he saw last night and just now, Pei Yanting frowned and thought for a long time, suddenly, he got up and walked to the window, pushed aside the shelf, and opened the window again.

Zhao Qingxing was startled, and quickly grabbed his arm and pulled him back, "Are you crazy? What if those residents come to the door?"

"It's already come to the door."

"What... what?"

"There are already seven or eight people standing downstairs, all looking up at our room."

After Pei Yanting finished speaking, he glanced at Zhao Qingxing, as if he wanted to ask for something, Zhao Qingxing's lips trembled, and his scalp felt numb for a moment.

knock knock --

Zhao Qingxing was so frightened that the arm holding Pei Yanting stuck to him.

Protecting him with one hand, Pei Yanting tentatively asked, "Who?"

"I'm here to deliver moon cakes." Xiao Er's voice came from the door, "Every fifteenth day, our inn will deliver cakes to the guests staying in."

Pei Yanting raised his voice and said, "No need, I'm going to sleep already."

"During the day, I heard that the curfew in Lihuawu is at Zishi, and everyone must stay in their own rooms at Zishi, and the innkeeper and Xiaoer will not send pastries at this time." Pei Yanting led Zhao Qingxing back to the window, whispering Said.

The two looked at each other, Zhao Qingxing understood and nodded to him.

The little girl outside didn't speak any more, but the abrupt figure stood motionless at the door.

Pei Yanting blew out the candle, pulled Zhao Qingxing onto the sword, and flew out of the window.

At the same time they flew out, the sound of the door being kicked open came from the room behind them, and the table against the door also made a harsh sound as it rubbed against the floor.

Zhao Qingxing stood on the sword and looked down, and saw that those people who were staring at him in the yard just now really ran out. Their legs could not catch up with their swords, but they still stared at them with piercing eyes. go.

"What's going on in Lihuawu?" Zhao Qingxing's back was wet with cold sweat, and now he was shivering when the night wind blew.

Pei Yanting noticed his movements, and hugged him intimately, "Do you know where Mu Chengjue lives?"

"Should be staying near the river with the lotus lantern." When he asked suddenly, Zhao Qingxing couldn't help but think of the child who saw Mu Chengjue holding hands last night, "Brother Pei, did you find that Elder Mu seems to have I am much happier than when I was in Tai Cangzong."

Pei Yanting obviously noticed it, and frowned: "Not only that, after coming to Lihuawu, I always feel that he is not only happy, but more..."

He pondered for a moment, and then spit out a word: "Liberation."

The two came to the river where the lotus lantern was located. Zhao Qingxing was planning to take Pei Yanting along the place where he last saw Mu Chengjue last night, but just as he jumped off the sword, he saw the owner of the lotus lantern standing like a log. Standing straight, he stared at them motionlessly at the entrance of the alley.

They backed away, but just as they turned around, they saw that the end of the alley was also full of "wooden men". Without saying a word, they chose the side of the owner of the lotus lamp tacitly, stepped on the wall, jumped over the heads of the people, and held each other as soon as they landed. Start to run.

Zhao Qingxing took the time to look back, and saw all the "wooden men" walking towards them. They seemed unable to run, but there were more and more people, and everyone's eyes were terribly terrifying, as if they were the same as what they saw during the day. completely different people.

Just when Pei Yanting was considering whether Yu Jian should find a place to hide first, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out from a certain narrow alley, and dragged the two of them in.

Zhao Qingxing was almost paralyzed by fright that night, and raised his hand to hit him.

"Shh, it's me." The person pulling them dragged them into a small courtyard and locked the gate again.

Only then did the two of them see clearly that it was Mu Chengjue, and Pei Yanting hurriedly asked, "Elder Mu, why does this person from Lihuawu behave like this?"

Mu Chengjue looked back and forth between the two of them, and asked, "Then why did you two go out during the curfew?"

Zhao Qingxing coughed in embarrassment, "I accidentally dropped something outside... just as I went down, it hit the curfew time."

Mu Chengjue: "Then, by the way, I wandered around other people's houses to see how they sleep?"

"..." Although he saw it by accident, Zhao Qingxing still felt that it would be better to shut up at this time.

"Daddy!"

When the courtyard fell into silence, a child's voice came from the room.

Immediately afterwards, a little boy about four or five years old ran out and hugged Mu Chengjue's thigh, "Daddy, where were you just now?"

Even after hearing Zhao Qingxing's description, Pei Yanting was still stunned in shock.

Zhao Qingxing himself was also shocked, he knew that Mu Chengjue was holding a boy last night, but he didn't expect that Mu Chengjue, who seemed desperate and desperate, would like to be his father!

"Elder, this is you..." Pei Yanting paused, "Adopted?"

The little boy seemed to know a lot. Hearing him say that, his mouth was flattened, and tears filled his eyes, "I am my own child!"

As he spoke, he hugged Mu Chengjue's thigh even tighter, "Daddy, are you going to abandon me again? I don't want to live with other people anymore, Daddy, can you take me away with you?"

Mu Chengjue picked up the boy, patted his head, and said to Pei Yanting: "It's a long story..."

boom--

The courtyard door suddenly shook, startling everyone.

Immediately afterwards, various horrified voices came from outside:

"What's going on with these people!"

"Where's Elder Mu?"

"Yu Jian! Hurry up Yu Jian! Two disciples were poached by them just now!"

……

Mu Chengjue's face darkened, "Too bad, everyone ran out."

Pei Yanting: "Can you gather all the disciples? We have to leave Lihuawu first, and then seal the city."

For some reason, Zhao Qingxing noticed that Mu Chengjue's complexion became even worse after he finished saying this.

But the same thing didn't last long, Mu Chengjue took out a bamboo tube, unplugged it, and countless small light clusters like fireflies flew out of it.

"I made a mark on the wooden sign you gave when you entered the city, and these sound-transmitting talismans will tell them where to go." Mu Chengjue summoned the sword, and took the lead in jumping up with the child in his arms, "You two come with me first. "

The residents outside seemed to be crazy, banging on the door non-stop, and even trying to climb the wall.

Pei Yanting didn't delay any longer, pulled Zhao Qingxing away, and Yu Jian followed Mu Chengjue away.

They finally came to a hill in Lihuawu City, where there was a deserted temple.As soon as the group of four arrived, they saw many disciples in the air coming with their swords.

Yan Suzhi and Xu Chuanxu arrived the fastest. Yan Suzhi glanced at Pei Yanting, but Xu Chuanxu glanced at Zhao Qingxing. They were both relieved to see that the people he was observing were not injured.

After a quarter of an hour, Mu Chengjue asked everyone to confirm the number of people. All the team leader disciples said that their sects had arrived. Zhao Qingxing scanned around, but felt something was wrong, "Where's Tao Hua?"

The leader of Tao Hua's sect was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that there were still people thinking about their disciples, so he couldn't help sighing, "Two people were attacked by people from Lihuawu, and Tao Hua was one of them."

Zhao Qingxing was startled, and his face suddenly turned pale. He remembered that just now at the gate of Mu Chengjue's courtyard, he heard someone say that two disciples were gouged out by the people from Lihuawu...

Mu Chengjue also widened his eyes, and asked in surprise, "What's going on?"

The leader was so frightened that his shoulders trembled, "Today's [-]th, these two disciples sneaked out to admire the moon, but they were surrounded by a group of people who looked like logs. He accidentally injured one of them, and then..."

"Didn't I ask you to abide by the rules here?"

"We didn't expect...the people here would become like this..."

boom--

While speaking, the whole mountain shook violently, and a lot of gravel and soil rolled down one after another.

Mu Chengjue hurriedly looked down the mountain, and saw densely packed residents walking towards their mountain step by step like walking corpses, "That's bad."

"Elder Mu." Pei Yanting's eyes turned cold, "Do you need to explain something to us?"

"That's right, isn't this Lihuawu a fairyland?" Some disciples also began to realize that something was wrong, "Why does it look like a ghost town at night?"

Mu Chengjue froze, but involuntarily clenched the little boy's hand.

He didn't speak for a long time, and the disciples were also in a hurry. Someone suggested: "We have a lot of people, why don't we try to seal the city, then go back along the original road, walk along the river, and we will probably be able to get out."

Most people think it is feasible, and just about to jump on the sword, Mu Chengjue finally said: "No, I can't get out."

Everyone was shocked, "Why!"

Mu Chengjue shut up again, just when some disciples couldn't hold back their violent temper, a woman's voice suddenly sounded in the crowd, "Because, this is Lihuawu, and it's also a paradise of peach blossoms."

Peach Blossom Spring?Zhao Qingxing was stunned.

The woman walked out slowly from the crowd, and glanced at Zhao Qingxing when she passed by, "You should guess what it means, right?"

Zhao Qingxing opened his mouth: "He...Elder He?"

Mu Chengjue in front suddenly turned around and said in shock, "Why are you here?"

"You are here, why can't I be here?"

He Bixiao snorted coldly, and when her sharp eyes glanced at the boy Mu Chengjue was holding, she suddenly softened for a moment, but soon she returned to normal, "The demons have already discovered it, don't tell me you didn't expect it at all." This situation."

"Demon Race? What Demon Race?" The crowd erupted in exclamation, and everyone became confused when they heard these two words.

"It seems that I overestimated you." Seeing that Mu Chengjue didn't move, He Bixiao shook his head in disappointment, "For my own selfish desires, I took the risk of bringing in the best seedlings in the cultivation world, but I didn't leave them alone. Do you really think you can hide the truth from the demons and send them out smoothly?"

"So, this is not Lihuawu at all." Pei Yanting didn't want to hear the two friends quarreling anymore, so he brought the topic back on track, "It's the territory of the demons?"

Zhao Qingxing murmured: "Dense fog, we passed through that layer of fog when we took the boat, and after that we may not be on the original river, or even... not on the original boat."

The whole city shook again.

"That's right." He Bixiao said: "It's all just the Taoyuan illusion you mentioned."

A disciple asked: "So the residents here are all demons?!"

He Bixiao: "Yes, and no."

Pei Yanting got a headache when he heard such ambiguous words, and said coldly: "Now tell us how to get out, and these residents, save or not?"

"The demons already know that we have discovered the secret of Lihuawu." He Bixiao pointed to the broken rocks that fell due to the vibration, "They are about to kill us."

"Okay." Pei Yanting took a deep breath, "How can we go back?"

He Bixiao laughed, and looked at Pei Yanting meaningfully: "Yin Changkong's eldest disciple really has confidence in me."

The shaking of the city became more and more frequent. Seeing that those "wooden men" had already reached the mountainside, He Bixiao led everyone Yujian to form a circle in the air, and everyone followed her instructions to form a formation.

Soon, spiritual currents from all sides gathered in the circle, like a pond with rippling water, and in the very middle, the full moon tonight was actually reflected.

He Bixiao made seals with his fingertips, and unexpectedly attracted the reflection of the full moon up into the air.

It's just that the rising "full moon" seems to have been bitten, and the missing corner is rapidly growing larger. Seeing that the "full moon" is about to become a "crescent moon", He Bixiao said loudly: "Jump in!"

When many disciples who were intimidated heard it, they reacted quickly, and disappeared after leaping forward.

Everyone didn't dare to delay, and jumped over one by one, Pei Yanting and Zhao Qingxing stayed at the end with the two elders, only to see Mu Chengjue looked far away, looking at the "moon in the water" as if looking at the distant past.

He suddenly sighed: "Lan Yuezhen, you are using it better and better."

"I expected that you would go crazy one day." He Bixiao snorted coldly, but reached out and patted the little boy's cheek, "You've grown so big."

After everyone else had left, Pei Yanting said anxiously: "Elder Mu, take the child and leave first."

Mu Chengjue gave a wry smile, his eyes turned red, "The child won't be able to leave."

Zhao Qingxing frowned and said, "Why? Do you want to keep him here?"

Someone sighed softly in the wind, Mu Chengjue hugged the boy upside down, "I'll be with him."

Both Pei Yanting and Zhao Qingxing were stunned by these words, and before they could stop them, He Bixiao pushed them into the Moon Lane Formation first.

He Bixiao flew to the front of the formation, took a deep breath, but her throat was choked, she turned her head and looked at Mu Chengjue: "Are you sure you're not leaving?"

"If you don't leave, let the child grow up alone, how uncomfortable it will be for him."

"All right." He Bixiao looked at him, then at the boy, "Take care of our child."

The moon array was completely closed, and the whole Lihuawu rumbled and shook. Mu Chengjue sat on the sword with the child in his arms, and saw that the residents at the foot of the mountain began to walk back, and the full moon in the sky was gradually turning into a It crossed the crescent moon and finally completely disappeared into the sky.
