It turned out to be evil and maddened

Following the beetle's crawling route, Li Qingyu's gaze followed closely, leading everyone to a very tall tree.

This thorn palm tree is twice as tall as other trees!

The trunk is so thick that it takes about ten adults to surround it hand in hand. The branches extending from the top to the east, west, north and south can be said to block out the sky, and each thorn palm leaf is big and lush, so dark that even the moonlight can penetrate it. It cannot pass through, so at the bottom of this tree, the light is even darker.It's already hard to see the other person's face clearly.

Zhu Que tremblingly said: "This...couldn't be a tree demon, right? The kind of monster that grows into a spirit from a hundred-year-old tree."

After a while, vines rose from under the soil, destroying the corpses of a group of them.

Zhou Yanzhi: "It doesn't look like it. If it's a monster, my wooden fish will issue a warning."

After a while, Li Qingyu said in a deep voice: "This is the center of the maze. That worm just crawled into the tree hole, and it has not come out for a long time."

Hearing this, Zhou Yanzhi couldn't help showing a disgusted expression: "Could there be hundreds of beetles living in this tree trunk? Fortunately, I wanted to play in this maze for a few more days."

Did not expect to dance with insects.

Just standing here, he seemed to be able to hear the rustling of beetles crawling in the tree, and he didn't know how many there were in the trunk.

Xue Xian observed the tree, and said: "Why don't we think about how to break the formation first, since the maze has reached the center point, maybe it will be a breakthrough point."

Xi Yun stared up at the black leaves, like a dark soul. He unconsciously tightened the arms around Xi Yu's shoulders, trying to protect him, and said, "If you attack the tree trunk, it may not have any effect. ?”

Xi Yu also said: "This maze in the woods may be made by this towering tree. If you attack him, you may be able to open the exit of the maze."

Xue Xian responded and agreed with this statement.

Li Qingyu beside him has already called out Yu Rong directly.

Seeing this, Zhu Que yelled immediately, barely darting to stop him, "Wait, wait! This tree will definitely be cut down by Qing Yu's Yu Rong's sword. If the maze is not broken, we will be forever Stay here with these beetles!"

Zhou Yanzhi: "Xianjun is right, why don't you try to hurt the tree trunk first, stab a few times, and see if you can find the way to the maze."

Xi Yun and Xi Yu nodded to each other, and walked to both ends of the big tree separately. Without saying a word, they raised the black-handled dagger in their hands with great tacit understanding, and stabbed it into the tree trunk from one left to the other!

Although the blades of the spiritual sabers of the two were sharp, but this time, they only penetrated an inch into the wood.

Xi Yu frowned: "This tree is different! The bark is too hard to pierce."

Xi Yu quickly said: "Let's try to input more spiritual power."

So the two released the spiritual power in the golden core, and transmitted it to the blade through the palm of the sword.

This time, the stabbing finally penetrated three points into the tree, and the tree shook violently!

A large group of Thorn palm leaves floated down, and everyone jumped away to dodge immediately.

Xue Xian only felt that the warmth of holding his hand suddenly disappeared!

Overlapping shadows also began to appear in front of the eyes, and the big tree in front of them suddenly split into two, and then gradually disappeared.

What emerged behind was a whole patch of bright green, Xuexian squinted his eyes, stayed in the dark for too long, couldn't adapt to the light for a while, so he raised his hand to cover his eyelids, and called softly: "Everyone, how are you? "

There was no response around.

Until the ground stopped shaking, his eyes gradually began to adapt to the brightness.

Xue Xian slowly opened his eyes, and first stood still, not daring to move around, until the surrounding scenery became completely clear.

At this moment, the sky above the top is blue, and the white clouds seem to be close in front of your eyes, and you can touch them with a hand. The breeze beside you gently brushes your cheeks, and gently lifts your hair. The touch is so real.

Xuexian knew that he had entered a maze.

The two swords that Xi Yun Xi Yu pierced into the big tree just now may be the reason for triggering the illusion.

It's just that Li Qingyu once said that the illusion of the maze belongs to the reappearance of people's past memories, which is different from the illusion of the beast tower, which is unreal.

But Xuexian didn't feel that he had seen this piece of grass, and there was only a strangeness in his heart.

However, this sunny place is completely different from the gloomy Thorn palm forest just now, which reassures him a bit. After all, darkness makes people despair, and light can ignite hope.

Xue Xian took steps carefully, walking on a piece of low grass, the surroundings were open, and he saw a whole piece of green hillside, he kept walking up, but there was nothing, only green and lovely grasses.

After half an hour, we finally arrived at the top of the mountain.Xuexian wiped the sweat from his forehead, and suddenly realized that this place became more and more familiar to him the more he walked!

Until a shining silver-white forest appeared before the eyes, shining brightly in the sun.

Snow, Snow Spirit Tree! ?

This is Li Qingyu's only peak?

Xue Xian unconsciously quickened his pace and ran towards the familiar forest.

But I saw a figure inside, the back was somewhat familiar, but it seemed unfamiliar.

In the illusion, Xue Xian naturally didn't dare to take the initiative to call out to the other party, but at that moment, the man seemed to feel him approaching.

With a straight back, he slowly turned around.

Xue Xian opened his eyes in an instant.

That's... Li Qingyu!

But it's not the current Li Qingyu, but the other party in his youth!

He looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, and although his face was not as deep as that of an adult, he could already see a handsome outline.

Xue Xian didn't understand, how could he meet Shaoshi in the illusion, didn't it mean that the illusion would only bring people into places they had been to before?

But at Li Qingyu's age... they don't know each other at all.

Xuexian tried to take a few steps closer, and said hesitantly, "Li, Li Qingyu?"

Strange to say, this is the first time he has called out the other party's name since he came here.

The person in front of him suddenly frowned slightly: "You know me?"

At this time Li Qingyu was still young, although his cultivation was superior, he hadn't taken over the first position yet, so he didn't claim to be the superior.Moreover, his stature is actually a bit taller than Xue Xian's, as expected he started to grow taller when he was young.

Xue Xian thought for a while, and replied: "We know each other, but it was a long time later... we just met."

Li Qingyu paused for a while, as if understanding what he said.

"Then how did you come up here? This is my Dufeng." The young Li Qingyu's voice was low, but not as cold and stern as he was when he was an adult.

Xue Xian relaxed his mind a little. After all, the one standing in front of him was still Li Qingyu with the same eyebrows and eyes, so he smiled and said: "Actually, I don't know how I got here. I was walking in the woods and accidentally entered Mizhen, it’s here after opening your eyes. But this forest, did it exist so long ago?”

Li Qingyu stared at him, and saw that although the other party was a few years older than him, he had a warm and pleasant voice, and his eyes smiled like crescent moons, giving off a gentle feeling, so he said, "It was planted not long ago."

Xuexian smiled and said, "Very beautiful."

It is exactly the same as the snow spirit tree in reality, although the range is much smaller, it is still as beautiful as a fairyland, so he said: "If the entire hillside is planted, it must be like an illusion. Shan, you look so relaxed, the silvery-white scenery that is usually only seen in the twelfth lunar month of winter, you can have it here all year round."

Li Qingyu glanced casually at the tall white trees in front of him. Since he moved to Dufeng, there has been this white forest, but he has never had the idea of ​​expanding this forest, so it has always been a small forest.

Seeing that although he was young, Xue Xian did not conceal his aura, and asked, "What level of training are you going to enter now?"

"Tier six."

"So fast?" Xuexian was surprised, it really was the crown of the fairy gate, "Then you... the medicine stick that stabilizes the heart, is it now placed in the Baptist Feather Hall?"

Maybe this opportunity allowed him to go in and take a look at the medicine stick that he had never seen before.Go back and study how to make it.

Li Qingyu frowned: "What kind of medicine stick? I don't have that kind of thing."

Xue Xian was taken aback, did Li Qingyu, who has entered the sixth level, still have no things to stabilize his mind?

"You...but you...how do you enter retreat like this?"

Li Qingyu: "Why do you ask these?"

Xue Xian didn't know how to answer, and after a while, he said: "It is said that the higher the level of cultivation, the more you need the objects to stabilize the spirit. Since you don't have one yet, if... if you get it in the future, you must protect it well."

Although he knew that the medicine stick would be taken away by "myself", Xuexian still wanted to say this to the person in front of him.

Li Qingyu raised his eyebrows: "You know I need it again?"

Xue Xian saw his familiar slanting expression, but now he had a strong sense of youth, and couldn't help laughing: "I don't know, I just mentioned it."

Li Qingyu looked at him without answering.

Xue Xian: "You have been so seldom since you were a child, no wonder Zhu Que often needs to talk to himself, maybe you are not replying to him."

Li Qingyu frowned: "Do you know Zhu Que?"

Xuexian nodded: "Well, after I met him, I don't know if he talks so much now?"

Li Qingyu: "Yes. Noisy."

Xuexian couldn't help laughing, she was certain in her heart that when she grew up, Li Qingyu would only reply to the first word, and the second word "noisy" full of experience would only be hidden in her heart.

Xuexian thought that Li Qingyu like this was... quite cute, so he took the opportunity to ask: "You don't like talkative people?"

In fact, he always felt that he was not too quiet, and maybe Li Qingyu had disgusted him in his heart before.

Li Qingyu looked down at him: "Look at people."

Xuexian smiled: "Is there anyone you don't think is noisy?"

Li Qingyu remained expressionless: "No."

Xuexian found it even more interesting to listen to it, it was very fun to tease the young partner to talk, and at this age Li Qingyu was obviously more willing to talk to people.

There was a smile in Xue Xian's eyes: "Don't talk so early, maybe we will meet in the future. Even if he keeps talking, you still like people who listen."

Although he didn't know if there would be such a person in the future.

But as soon as Xuexue finished her gossip, she suddenly felt some inexplicable strangeness in her heart.

Li Qingyu said coldly with a youthful face, "I don't need it right now."

Xuexian smiled and replied: "Of course, you have to find someone who suits you as a Taoist couple. You have to have him in your heart, and he has you in his heart. After separation, life feels like years. To meet each other, it will not only take a hundred years fate."

In fact, he just heard what his elders said before, that after a hundred years of cultivation, he can cross the same boat, and after a thousand years of cultivation, he can sleep together.That's about it.

Li Qingyu rarely frowned upon hearing this long passage, but instead asked, "Then do you have a Taoist companion?"

Xue Xian was stunned, he didn't know that Li Qingyu would ask back.

"…I, I don't have one yet."

Li Qingyu had an expression of "that's still too much to say".

Suddenly a few Xueling leaves fell from the branches, Xuexian squatted down to pick them up naturally, and put them in his palm to examine, the leaves were round and the whole surface was silvery white, which looked even more beautiful under the sun.He couldn't help murmuring, "Sure enough, it's still exactly the same, so beautiful."

Li Qingyu saw that he was familiar with Xue Lingmu, "You said that after you met me, I have also seen this forest. Don't tell me you often go in and out of this lonely mountain?"

Xuexian wanted to answer truthfully, but she was afraid that the young Li Qingyu would not be able to accept someone living in his bedroom, so she turned around and said, "Occasionally."

Li Qingyu: "I asked you to come up?"

Xue Xian should be the first.

You asked the candle magpie to throw my luggage up.

He saw that Li Qingyu was wearing dark blue robes, and he didn't expect that the other party would wear this color when he was young, so he said: "Look at you, you are always dressed in dark colors, if you wear snow-white embellishments, it might be good."

Li Qingyu frowned: "Adornment? Trouble."

Xue Xian shrugged: "I'm just suggesting, at least a little bit more vigorous."

It's just that if Li Qingyu thinks embellishments are troublesome, how did he get this thing on his waist at this moment?

Li Qingyu looked like Xuexian had a tassel tied around his waist, and said, "Is this the kind you're talking about?"

Xue Xian nodded.

Actually this is yours.

Li Qingyu took several glances and said, "It's not ugly."

But maybe it's just that the handsome young man in front of him wears it well.

Xuexian thought of the first time he came to the Xueling tree, it was the day when Li Qingyu left the customs at the ninth level, he felt uneasy.But at this moment, the two stood in the white forest talking, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious, and they could even talk a lot, which also let him know more about Li Qingyu's past.

Xuexian asked curiously, "Do you have any other interests besides training?"

"Reading, walking around the peak."

"So are you familiar with the flowers and plants of Dufeng?"

"Ah."

Xue Xian said happily: "That's just right, I'm a medical practitioner, please tell me about these spiritual herbs."

Li Qingyu said: "There are not many spiritual grasses here, most of them are low vines."

Xue Xian looked a little disappointed.He clearly remembered that after he moved to Li Qingyu Dufeng, he found a lot of spiritual herbs that could make medicine everywhere on the slope. Could it be that they haven't grown yet?

When Xue Xian was puzzled, the face of the tall young man in front of him suddenly changed, and his upright figure suddenly shook.

Xue Xian sensed that something was wrong, and immediately asked: "What's wrong with you?"

Li Qingyu frowned, as if feeling something, and said after a while, "Just now there is a sudden warmth in the limbs."

Rising from the body, and he can feel that this agitation is still circling in the body.

Xue Xian immediately took a few steps closer, and pulled his wrist involuntarily, Li Qingyu frowned even deeper, he was not used to being touched by people, even if it was just hands.

As soon as Xue Xian touched the skin, he felt the rising temperature. He didn't understand why the two of them were talking well just now, but how it changed in an instant.

Li Qingyu suppressed the heat source in his body, and said angrily, "You drugged me?"

Just now, I was clearly in good health, but within a moment of speaking with this person, something suddenly went wrong.

Hearing this, Xue Xian opened her eyes wide: "I gave you medicine? But I was three or four steps away from you just now, how do I do it? And why would I do that?"

Regardless of the other party's angry expression, he quickly measured the veins on Li Qingyu's wrist a few times. At this time, the other party's body temperature began to soar, and some unknown heat came from the skin.

Xuexian's expression froze suddenly!

He, he always feels... this symptom looks like...

Xue Xian asked cautiously: "Have you recently...have you met any snake-like creatures?"

Li Qingyu didn't understand the meaning of his question, but still shook his head, "No. There are no pythons on the peak."

Xuexian looked at him, and said with a difficult tone: "According to my experience, you seem to... seem to have been poisoned by a snake..."

Li Qingyu frowned: "Snake poison?"

Xue Xian also couldn't understand, it was obviously the snake venom in the grown-up Li Qingyu, how could even the other party in his youth suffer from this poison after entering the maze?

Is it because of the illusion that the dream and reality overlapped and confused?

He hurriedly said: "You...you sit down first. I have a way to relieve you first. "

Li Qingyu's expression was obviously suspicious, the other party came to his Dufeng inexplicably, and then he was poisoned by the snake, but the young man in front of him said he knew himself in the future.

So when the two of them were sitting cross-legged among the trees in the snow forest, Xuexian held one of Li Qingyu's fingers, trying not to look at the other's expression, and then interlocked the fingers of those palms that were bigger than his.

"Try now. Let the heat out of your body out of your palm."

Li Qingyu's voice lowered a few degrees: "Export it out?"

Seeing that his brows were furrowed, Xue Xian knew that the other party must be very uncomfortable, so she quickly said: "Yes, I will accept it after you export it. Anyway, don't ask, if you drag it on, your body temperature will be too hot."

Li Qingyu then closed her eyes, followed Xue Xian's method, slowly passed the heat source in her body along the tendons to her arms, and then poured it down from her palms.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Xue Xian's face was flushed red.

But because the other party was young and his cultivation base was still at the sixth level, the snake venom didn't become serious, so he could bear it.

Li Qingyu regained consciousness a bit, seeing the young man in front of him blushed violently, but he was obviously very familiar with snake venom, and said, "Have you helped people detoxify this poison before?"

Even he himself didn't notice the displeasure in his words.

Xuexian panted slightly, but didn't hear it, just said: "I helped."

It's just that the object is still you.

Li Qingyu's face turned colder, he stood up, and said stiffly, "Thank you."

Xuexian shook his head, couldn't get up for a moment, just sat on the grass, said: "No. And you are poisoned for no reason, maybe when I entered the maze, the time and space were a little out of order."

Li Qingyu: "Mizhen? Are you a ghost?"

Xue Xian was a little tired, but he still laughed and said, "I'm not. It's just that one day in the future, I will enter the maze, and then I will meet your former self."

Li Qingyu: "So you will leave anytime?"

Xue Xian responded: "The maze and illusion will always dissipate. But I am lucky to be able to see you in your youth."

like a little secret.He has seen Li Qingyu, whom few people have seen before, and Li Qingyu, who is not yet cold and indifferent.

After he was relieved, he planned to stand up, but unexpectedly, an arm was stretched out in front of him, Xuexian naturally put it on it, and asked Li Qingyu to help him stand up.

Unexpectedly, the young opponent had such great strength, Li Qingyu lifted him up with almost no effort.

Just as he was about to say thanks, a gust of wind swept past, dark clouds covered the originally bright space, and a large number of snow spirit leaves flew down from the top of the tree, blocking the distance between the two of them, and neither of them could see each other's face clearly.

Xue Xian knew in her heart that the illusion was about to dissipate.

And the young man standing in front of him didn't speak, as if he understood.

A lot of fallen leaves were falling in front of me, as if they were about to shake off all the leaves on the tree.A pair of palms with well-defined phalanges protruded from the cover caused by the blades.

The low voice of the boy said: "Take it."

Xuexian grabbed the little silver leaf in his hands.

The ground shook accordingly, the pure white fallen leaves in front of my eyes gradually became blurred, and even the figures behind me became fainter and more distant, gradually fading away and dissipating. .

After a stick of incense, Xuexian opened his eyes again, and found himself standing in the gloomy thorn palm forest again, with a gloomy breeze blowing.Not far away was the towering tree that Xi Yu pierced with his dagger.

He turned his head to look at the dark woods, trying to see where the others were?

A voice with the same tone as before, but several times lower, sounded, "This deity is here."

Xuexian looked towards the source of the sound, and found a tall figure standing a few feet away.

Just now he looked like a teenager, but now he has the tall and straight body and handsome outline of an adult, and the dark blue robe makes him even taller and taller.

As Li Qingyu approached, Xuexian raised his face and stared at him for a long time, Li Qingyu's appearance overlapped with the young man just now.

The same black hair, the same dark blue robe, the same narrow eyes.

In Xuexian's heart, Li Qingyu as an adult and Li Qingyu as a child didn't feel any discord at all.

Xue Xian showed a smile on his cheeks, and said: "I just entered the illusion."

Li Qingyu looked down at him: "I know."

Xue Xian rolled her eyes, and said again: "Then I met you when you were a teenager."

Unexpectedly, Li Qingyu said again: "I know."

Xuexian's eyes widened in surprise, "How do you know?"

Li Qingyu: "Because what you entered was the deity's illusion."

After Xi Yun Xi Yu stabbed the tree with his sword, he entered the illusion, and unexpectedly found that Xue Xian was also there.It must be because the two of them were still holding hands when they entered, so they entered the illusion of one of them together.

In the illusion, when the snow spirit tree was constantly being blown by the breeze, Li Qingyu watched Xue Xian talking to his young self from a distance, and faint familiar impressions appeared in his mind, passing by one after another, but not very clear.

It wasn't until the two of them talked for a while not far away that he remembered that this illusion was a dream he had in his youth.

It's just that after waking up from the dream, he could no longer remember the appearance of the person inside.

But a few days after the dream, he went out to the peak at that time, and when he came back, he had a tassel ornament around his waist, and the whole string was white. This ornament has followed him like this for more than ten years.

As for Dufeng, who originally had very few spiritual grasses, after Li Qingyu asked Zhu Que for seeds and scattered them randomly, the types of flowers and plants gradually increased.Back then, Zhu Que was very shocked, thinking that the other party would start playing with planting flowers and plants.

Even that piece of silver forest, whether intentionally or not, Li Qingyu allowed it to grow.As the snow spirit trees grow larger and larger, gradually covering the entire hillside, it looks like a snow-fallen forest, with branches covered in silver.

At this moment, Li Qingyu finally remembered that all these things were all because of the chestnut-haired young man who loved to laugh in his childhood dream.And although I can't remember the face clearly, I still remember the smile that kept blooming when the other party spoke, and the eyes that were bent into the moon.

That face gradually became clear in his mind until it completely merged with the thin figure in front of him.

The author has something to say:

The Xuexian dreamed of when he was a teenager, and the Xuexian he met when he was an adult.They are the only direction of His Majesty's heart.
