Reborn Enemy

In the early morning of the next day, everyone left Yuan Shi and continued on their way. Except for Xin Ji, almost everyone on Gu Pinglin's side was unscathed, which was also thanks to Yuan Shi.Under Yuan Xiao's urging, Qi Yanfeng also left with the crowd, and Gu Pinglin also felt something when he saw this.Dao is ruthless, but people have feelings, even if you are as proud as Yuan Xiao, you can't escape the shackles of love, but it's a pity...

The crowd didn't walk for a long time, suddenly a majestic mountain rose up in front of it, about a thousand feet high, and the clouds and mist drifted away. Looking over it, it looked like a dark green screen with a break in the middle. The whole mountain seemed to be forcibly split by a giant axe. In the two halves, at the fracture, the mountain walls on both sides seem to be cut by knives, and it is difficult for apes to climb.

"Up above is the lair of the rabbit-faced bat." Xin Ji was afraid that everyone would care about him attracting the bat, so he didn't dare to say much all the way, and only when he got to the place did he say, "If you can't control the air, you will disturb them."

Yan Sen also didn't want to provoke the fierce bat: "Go around and forget it."

"No, there are bears over there," Cheng Yi pointed to the left and then to the right, "There are also two big birds over there."

Yan Sen got angry when he heard it: "A rabbit is a bat with a rabbit face, what the hell are bears and birds?"

"It's just bears and birds." Cheng Yi was aggrieved.

"Okay." Gu Pinglin was thoughtful along the way, and when he heard the words, he came back to his senses and stopped the two of them decisively. The best route, if you change direction, you will only encounter higher-level ferocious beasts, yesterday's battle between Fierce Bat and Yuan Shi caused a lot of losses, so it was a good time."

Yan Sen sneered: "What's the point of death, there are probably no less than a thousand in the lair, and ten inner alchemy realms are not enough for them to eat."

"Senior, be safe and don't be impatient," Duan Qingming walked up, "Although the rabbit-faced fierce bat is a fierce bird, it is not aggressive. It is famous for bullying the weak and fearing the strong. They have not defeated yesterday. If they meet a strong enemy today, they are very likely to avoid it." Fighting, the words of the younger brother are not unreasonable."

Yan Sen scoffed, "Are you considered a strong enemy?"

"Whether strong or not, it's not about cultivation," Duan Qingming raised his hand and gestured with the word "one", and said leisurely, "I have a plan to let everyone pass smoothly."

Xin Ji immediately praised: "Mr. Duan is resourceful and resourceful, it must be a good plan."

Yan Sen said: "Let's listen."

"We are divided into three groups of six people. Junior Brother Gu and I are in a group. Senior Xin is in a group with Brother Cheng and cousin. As for you, Senior Yan, you have the highest cultivation level and are in a group alone," Duan Qingming paused, "My strategy is very simple. We will take the lead to lead out the bat swarm, followed by Senior Xin and Brother Cheng. You two don't need to love to fight, just break up the bat swarm by surprise, take my cousin away, and attract more fierce bats to come out of the cave to chase after them. At this time, Senior Yan feigned to attack the fierce bat's lair with his sword again, the Bat King will warn, and the bat group in front will withdraw troops to rescue, at this point of exchange, we and Senior can both take advantage of the chaos to escape."

"Wonderful!" Xin Ji praised, "This plan works."

Yan Sen was also a little shaken when he first heard it, and after thinking about it for a long time, he stared again: "After all, I'm still tricking me. If the fierce bat doesn't chase you, I'll attack its lair, wouldn't I be fooled?"

After leaving Yuan Xiao and the others, Qi Yanfeng didn't cry anymore: "The rabbit-faced fierce bats are very vigilant and timid. As long as there is enough movement, they will definitely come out."

Yan Sen said: "Little girl knows fart!"

"Now that we are on the same boat, we should work together. A dozen or so fierce bats are enough for us. Don't you cheat yourself, senior?" Duan Qingming said with a smile, "Well, if you don't trust us, just How about making a decision according to the situation?"

His eyes flashed, and Yan Sen said with satisfaction: "Forget it, it's up to you."

"Well..." Duan Qingming said slowly, "Since there is no objection, let's act according to the plan."

"Miss Qi will follow us, and the rest of the arrangement remains unchanged." Gu Pinglin nodded to Qi Yanfeng, motioning for her to follow him, and then walked towards the cliff.

Qi Yanfeng didn't form the outer pill, Xin Ji also happily got rid of a burden, Cheng Yi would only be obedient, Yan Sen was thinking in his heart, and ignored such trivial matters, Duan Qingming had no objection, and let Qi Yanfeng go forward with a smile , and then step up to keep up.

The closer you get to the cliff, the stronger the evil spirit. The bat caves on the cliffs on both sides are densely packed, like a large honeycomb, with fierce bats entering and leaving from time to time, and several fierce bats gliding past in the sky.

"Young Master Gu..." Qi Yanfeng was still injured, and even more afraid when he saw this, he followed Gu Pinglin closely.

"Follow me." Gu Pinglin was polite.Yuan Xiao's name is too real, making a chess piece is enough, Duan Qingming doesn't bother to kill him at all, and as for bringing Qi Yanfeng by his side... Gu Pinglin's eyes darkened slightly.

Qi Yanfeng's eyes were red with fear, but he knew he was powerless to stop this action, so he timidly agreed: "Got it."

Gu Pinglin had no time to comfort her, so he nodded towards Duan Qingming, and raised his finger, Gu Ying came out with a sword, and the person waited for the opportunity to merge with the sword shadow, and in an instant, everyone saw a dazzling purple lightning rushing into the sky , Slashing towards the mountain gate with lightning speed!

A slender golden light followed behind Zidian, and Qi Yanfeng, who was so scared that he was about to cry just now, has already followed.

The golden sword light is surprisingly faint, hidden in the sharp purple light, it's really hard to find if you don't pay attention, it doesn't have the usual luxurious style of the Qi family, it's clear that she did it intentionally to hide herself.

Yan Sen didn't pay attention to her before, and couldn't help being surprised when he saw this: "Yo, this girl is not bad."

Narrow eyes were frozen, Duan Qingming put away his smile, and Mingfeng Sword was already in his hand. In a blink of an eye, the coldness spread, and the surrounding vegetation was covered with frost. The sword flower scattered into the bat swarm, engulfing Zi Dian in an instant!The sword move came first, the bats were frightened, there was a commotion, and they flapped their wings "flappingly". Immediately afterwards, countless fierce bats with red eyes rushed out of those caves like a tide!

Yan Sen's pupils shrank.

"Master Duan is such a genius, I have to obey." Xin Ji shook his head and smiled wryly.

Cheng Yi repeatedly nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes!"

Xin Ji reminded him: "Cheng Xiaoyou is ready, it's our turn."

A hand lifted him away.

"I'm going to scatter them," Yan Sen said roughly, "You two are going to fight the nest, understand?"

Cheng Yi is very obedient: "Oh, good."

"How can this be done!" Xin Ji was in a hurry, the two of them were not strong enough to escape, attacking the lair would undoubtedly be a dangerous thing, "Mr. Duan said..."

"Tell me to act according to the situation," Yan Sen sneered, and kicked him fiercely, "I have the final say here."

"Okay," Cheng Yi was terrified when he saw him angry, "Go and disperse, we will go there last."

Xin Ji was about to say more, but suddenly remembered something, rolled his eyes, and shut up.

The overhaul of the alchemy concept was shot, and Yuan's two inner alchemy overhauls were not enough to watch.Black air rose to the sky, and the soul wood sword slashed down, and the group of fierce bats fell into chaos. Yan Sen successfully dispersed the group of bats, and even took advantage of the situation to kill several fierce bats. In all fairness, he did a wonderful job this time.

"It's amazing!" Cheng Yi exclaimed.

However, in the blink of an eye, the situation changed drastically!

The task of "scattering the bats" is relatively easy, that's why Yan Sen forced Xin Ji to exchange, but his sword was so powerful that all the bats were attracted, Duan Qingming and Gu Pinglin responded according to the plan, but they didn't It worked, the vicious bat only chased Yan Sen, Rao even Dan Yijing Daxiu was at a loss.

Duan Qingming said: "The plan has changed, we will stay and help, and my cousin will leave first."

"We don't need our help here," Gu Pinglin brushed away his hand that was slapping Qi Yanfeng's left shoulder, and at the same time swung his sword away several fierce bats that were biting Yan Sen, "Let's all go."

The development of the matter completely deviated from the plan, and Yan Sen had no reason to blame the two of them, so he could only yell at Xin Ji and Cheng Yi: "Don't do it yet!"

Xin Ji was enjoying watching, and promised: "Brother Yan, hold on, we'll come right away!"

"I'll help you!" Cheng Yi yelled, putting his hands together above his head, the green sword suddenly shrank into a line, and pierced the bat nest on the mountain wall.

Xin Ji wanted to delay Yan Sen's time, but unexpectedly, Cheng Yi was so honest, he cursed inwardly, so he had to cooperate. He was not a swordsman, but he summoned a sword and slashed at it decently.The two outer alchemy monks attacked together, the power cannot be underestimated, the mountain wall vibrated, and the stones fell down. The quality of the stones here is obviously special, and the damage to the bat nest was not as serious as expected.

Cheng Yi blinked and commented: "Your swordsmanship is really bad."

Old Xin Ji blushed and said haha: "This old man is not a sword cultivator, so naturally he can't compare to my little friend, let's go quickly...Huh?"

The group of bats in front did not turn back as Duan Qingming said. Obviously, the two were too weak to make the Bat King feel threatened.

This is a good thing for the two of them, Xin Ji immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and laughed: "Mr. Duan really has no plans."

"No, run!" Cheng Yi called.

The bat swarm did not return, but thirty or forty fierce bats flew out of the nest and surrounded the two of them.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xin Ji hurriedly followed the wind to flee for his life.

Cheng Yi didn't use the escape technique, his figure was surprisingly fast, he just flew close to the ground, not far away, suddenly got into a hole in the ground.

Xin Ji stopped subconsciously: "Cheng Xiaoyou?"

Cheng Yi popped his head: "Come in!"

The burrow was too conspicuous, surrounded by rocks, and there was no vegetation to cover his figure. Xin Ji hesitated for a while, seeing the swarm of bats approaching behind him, there was nothing he could do, so he plunged into it.The cave was extremely small, barely able to accommodate two people, and it seemed crowded, but the strange thing was that those fierce bats were flying around in the sky, and never continued to attack.

"I found it," Cheng Yi said triumphantly, "I hid here all night before, and only went out quietly after they dispersed."

After all, Xin Ji has lived for hundreds of years, so he still has some experience, so he immediately guessed the reason: "One thing can counteract another thing. I heard that wherever poisonous things grow, there must be things that can detoxify them. There must be spiritual things in this cave. Bats can counter each other, so that's why."

The two of them hid in the cave and talked, and Yan Sen suffered disaster over there. Thousands of fierce bats surrounded him airtightly. Ten fierce bats landed on the ground, and this made the fierce bats even more crazy.

Cheng Yi asked, "Aren't you going to help?"

"Of course I want to help, but..." Xin Ji stroked his beard and lowered his voice, "We will only die if we go up. You see, Mr. Duan is gone, so it's useless for us to go."

"That's right," Cheng Yi immediately said without seeing Duan Qingming, "Then don't care about him, he will always kill us."

Xin Ji shook his head, and said solemnly: "You can't say that, Senior Yan has a high level of cultivation, we don't ignore him, but we believe that he has his own way of escape...Look!" He suddenly beamed with joy, and raised his head and pointed to the sky.

Seeing that it was difficult to get away, Yan Sen was impatient, so he simply followed the original plan and slashed towards the lair on the mountain wall with his sword.

"Good opportunity, let's go!" Xin Ji looked back, but there was no one beside him.

Hundreds of miles away, the trees in front of them gradually became sparse, and there were big yellow rocks everywhere. Gu Pinglin and the three were waiting on a rocky slope.Gu Pinglin was not surprised to see Xin Ji escaped first. Cheng Yi was able to get out this way at the beginning, which meant that he had a way to escape. It was always Yan Sen who was in danger.

About an hour later, Yan Sen also arrived.

As Duan Qingming said, the rabbit-faced fierce bat bullies the weak and fears the strong, Yan Sen is Naidan's artistic conception overhaul, and possesses top-level swordsmanship soul sword style. Cheap, finally let him go.

Xin Ji pretended to be relieved: "As long as Brother Yan is fine."

"Stop pretending!" Yan Sen was seriously injured and angry, staring at him coldly, "I don't know, when did you go to practice swordsmanship?"

"Brother blamed me," Xin Ji sighed, "It's not that I've been hiding my clumsiness and not doing my best. Now that I have no pupils, and I have been taught by Mr. Gu, I don't want to practice that harmful thing anymore, so I want to change to swordsmanship. Ask Mr. Duan for some advice."

Gu Pinglin narrowed his eyes slightly.

Due to the situation, this old devil repeatedly lowered his figure, even disregarding his face. He has practiced magic arts for more than a hundred years. If he is really willing to abandon the century-old path and change to the way of swordsmanship, such courage is rare.

Yan Sen's face was distorted, and he didn't believe him at all: "You think I'm stupid?"

"Senior Xin only has the outer alchemy, so he can't help at all," Duan Qingming interrupted the two with a smile, "I just don't understand, why did you suddenly change the plan?"

Yan Sen choked.

Duan Qingming asked puzzledly: "Could it be that my arrangement is wrong?"

"No, the old man misremembered in a moment of impatience." Cleverness was misunderstood by cleverness. Yan Sen couldn't tell, so he could only reply in a rough voice, and then warned Xin Ji and Cheng Yi, "You two, don't look for me in the future." trouble!"

"The bastard is not easy to deal with, senior is too careless, you must be more careful next time." Duan Qingming gently reminded, the words "brickster" are very meaningful.

Yan Sen choked again, snorted, and went to meditate to adjust his breath.

"Let's heal your wounds first, and set off tomorrow morning," Gu Pinglin said, turning sideways to Duan Qingming, "Senior Brother Duan and I will go explore the way first."

In the past few days after coming in, everyone has roughly seen that the ancient forest of Mount Tai is really as the outsiders said, vast and boundless, and the number of beasts and monsters is more than that of the sea. If it is not for Cheng Yi to lead the way, the speed of everyone must be Much slower.

While flying close to the ground, Gu Pinglin observed the surrounding situation and compared it with Cheng Yi's description.Duan Qingming followed behind without saying a word, as if he was really just here for company.

It wasn't until the investigation was over and the two were about to return that Gu Pinglin asked, "Why are you dissatisfied?"

Duan Qingming said: "Am I dissatisfied?"

"Miss Qi is not malicious, you can't fail to see."

"If you didn't stop Yuan Xiao, it wasn't good intentions."

"Duan Qingming and the Qi family are relatives on the surface, and everyone can see the actual relationship. It is only natural for her to suspect you." Gu Pinglin turned around and looked at him, "Besides, she was not mistaken."

Meeting his gaze, Duan Qingming chuckled lightly: "She read it right, I am ruthless and unjust, taking advantage of people's hearts... But Gu Xiaojiu, as smart as you, do you think she is affectionate and righteous?"

Qi Yanfeng was smart enough, and if he really had feelings for Yuan Xiao, it was impossible for him to follow his reasons and leave.Gu Pinglin said: "Even if it is not affectionate and righteous, it is not completely cold-blooded."

"We are brothers, and the Qi family is my enemy. Do you want to help her?"

"Do you regard the Qi family as an enemy?"

"Qi family, I'm not worthy," Duan Qingming's answer was just like the previous life, full of undisguised and familiar conceit, "but they want to get rid of me quickly."

Gu Pinglin said: "This is not the reason for you to use Miss Qi to test me."

"I don't care if you care about me or not," the red shadow at the end of the eyes suddenly became clear, staining the black eyes with a three-point demonic aura, Duan Qingming said lightly, "This is just a warning, whether it's for Qi Wan'er, Bu Shuihan, or It's the spiritual school, you care about too many things, and these useless feelings will always affect your path."

Unknowingly, the sky has changed, the clouds are gone, the wind is blowing, and the black cloak and snow-like robe are blowing, and the air is filled with a deep chill.

On the high yellowstone, the two stood facing each other, and the scene seemed familiar.

Gu Pinglin said: "Actually, I've been thinking about this too."

Duan Qingming said: "The result?"

"I've thought it through," Gu Pinglin stared at him calmly with black hair brushing across his cheeks, "If you really don't care about anything, how can you get 'enlightenment'?"

The Tao body is nothingness.If there is no "existence", how can there be "nothing"?How can we talk about "severing" from the concept of dust?When the heart is empty, how do you "enlighten" it?

Is it not the realm of nothingness that I realized, once it is contaminated, can it easily get rid of the entanglement of demons?

In the previous life, did you really transcend everything and ascend to the throne?

"Enlightenment or not, it doesn't matter, as long as the strength is strong enough, how difficult is it to break through?" Duan Qingming clasped his chin, lowered his head, his tall nose almost pressed against the tip of his nose, condescendingly, and cast a ruthless expression oppressively. Shadow, "When you are behind, you should concentrate on looking at the people in front of you, instead of looking at the trash behind you. Being influenced by them, you will have some trash thoughts."

"It's my choice." Ying's eyes suddenly became sharp, and Gu Pinglin calmly pushed the hand away, "You have crossed the line."

"Ok?"

"That's enough, I don't want to argue with you," Gu Pinglin waved his hand to stop him, and walked away seemingly casually, "We are brothers, of course you are more important than Miss Qi, I saved her because she is worth it, excellent The swordsman is worthy of admiration, and you think so, so you point her out, don’t you? Use her to test me and prove that you don’t really want her to die.”

silence.

"Your understanding of me has crossed the line."

"Oh?"

"It makes me uneasy, this feeling is really disgusting, but...reluctant," Duan Qingming paused, his voice could not hear any emotion, "You said, should How to do it?"

Gu Pinglin said: "They are all men, so naturally use men's methods."

"Of course." Duan Qingming seemed to think of something, and stared at his lips with interest, "If you are a woman, don't you have to marry me?"

"It's a pity, I'm a man." Facing the blunt banter, Gu Pinglin neither got angry nor smiled, his eyes were sharp, "Duan Qingming, I respect you for your genius and wisdom, and thank you for saving me!" I have never given up paying attention to you, a rare opponent, because I can become a fellow student in this life, and I don’t want to be your enemy again as a last resort.”

Duan Qingming was noncommittal: "And then?"

"I don't object to your game, but on the road, I don't like others to cross the border," Gu Pinglin said in a cold voice, "Similar to Miss Qi, I hope there will be no next time."

"What if I don't agree?"

"It can only be said that you don't know me well enough," Gu Pinglin said. "Actually, I don't know as much about you as you think. That's all I have to say, you can do it yourself."

The cloak was lifted, and the black figure disappeared soundlessly, leaving behind a white shadow.

The slender figure stood alone between the dark clouds and the yellow stones all over the sky, with black hair and sleeves fluttering wildly, as if about to merge into the strong wind.

After a while, he also turned around and disappeared.
