My Taoist companion just wants to welcome and refuse

The night of Luoyuji is different from that of Xinghui Peak. The market square has a wide view, and the night covered with stars is low and vast.

Surrounded by clouds of flowers and scattered shadows, there is a lingering smell of blood in the bursts of fragrance, which makes people not so relaxed and happy.

The Jinzhou altar is on the lake not far from Luoyuji. During festive seasons, people drive boats to worship and pray for blessings. Thousands of boats, thousands of lights, and flickering sparks are rare sights.

Jinzhou Dazhengyan is located at the bottom of Qiushui Lake directly below the altar, and there is an enchantment around the formation eye.

Qingyan walked around the Luoyuji temporary defense formation and repaired several weak spots.Cangcheng's disciples discussed the resettlement of the people by themselves, and he stood aside and listened.

After a few breaths, he seemed to feel something, and looked towards a cornice.

It was a corner where the moonlight could not reach, Xia Qi was standing in the shadows, his black cloak blended into the night, the hem of his clothes was sometimes covered in shadows blown by the night wind, the moonlight turned into flowing light on the fine silver lines.

Holding the sword in his hand, he looked at the busy people in the center of the square not far away, wondering what he was thinking.

It was only then that Qing Yan noticed that his lower eyelashes were slightly longer, casting a small circle of shadows under his eyes, and when he was not talking or smiling, there was a bit of frost between his brows and eyes.

Demon hunters have a complicated relationship with other sects, and now they have to stand on the same front, but they are always on guard.

They don't stand in line, and others won't provoke them rashly.

Only Qing Yan looked over without any shyness, and suddenly felt that the person in his eyes was completely different from when he was at Xinghui Peak.

After leaving Cangcheng, Xia Qi seemed to avoid suspicion, and stopped following him.At this moment, Xia Qi is far away from everyone, shrouded in a black cloak and the night, with a sense of alienation and indifference.

Perhaps in the past five years, they had many moments like this when they looked at each other from a distance, which led to their drifting away.

Thinking of this, the inexplicable emotion in my heart slowly surfaced again, and my heart sank subconsciously.

Qing Yan was frowning, when the person on the cornice suddenly lowered his head, met his gaze, was stunned for a moment and then laughed, the ice and snow in his eyes melted instantly.

Xia Qi winked at him, but it wasn't enough, his lips moved slightly, and a voice full of laughter came from his ear.

"Is it proper for the elder to peep blatantly?"

Qing Yan was taken aback for a moment, and looked away.

The flower fragrance of Luoyuji was stained with the smell of blood, and it was a bit uncomfortably sweet, but the voice in his ear somehow reminded him of the sweet and fruity fragrance emitted by the glazed sugar ball in his hand.

The voice next to the ear seemed to catch the opportunity, and it came close to it, deliberately prolonging the tone ambiguously: "But it's okay to take a look, after all, I am willing to meet any request of the Taoist companion."

At the end, the four words full of deep meaning were deliberately lowered, as soft and soft as a whisper, no matter how calm the face of Qingyan was, the sea of ​​consciousness was suddenly blank for a moment.

After a while, the voice didn't say any more flirty words, and seemed to dissipate in the night wind.

Qing Yan couldn't help but glance over there, the cornices were empty.

He paused, where did he go?

Who knows-

"Hey, Bo Lan is looking for me? No, I came here by myself."

The chuckle that suddenly sounded in his ears was familiar and happy, and Qing Yan took a light breath.

At this moment, the heart that had been silent for a hundred years suddenly felt a little turbulent. It was not the jerky feeling for the first time, but the loosening that had been used to and comfortable for a long time.

He was slightly dazed, maybe in the past five years, the people in front of him have given him many such moments, like the spring breeze melting snow, and blowing off the flowers on the branches.

Xia Qi was originally standing on the eaves, rearranging the personnel of various sects several times in his mind, but he couldn't find a better way than now, but letting Qingyan go to the dangerous situation alone...it is not a reassuring plan for him, although In the eyes of everyone, it is only natural.

The inspiration was suddenly touched, he looked at the Shangqing Banquet with a quiet and seemingly absent-minded gaze, couldn't help but feel better, put aside the things in his mind, and immediately began to act virtuously.

Even when Qing Yan was molested, Xia Qi was too familiar with his Taoist couple, so he could easily see the discomfort in it.

He felt relieved for a while, how dare he be so presumptuous before, he was arrested by Qing Yan long ago and asked for "any request".

Xia Qi dodged and landed next to Qing Yan, he came and went silently, the disciples around Qing Yan immediately noticed that the sharp sword was unsheathed an inch, and when he saw the person clearly, the sword was stuck there without embarrassment, and it was not a problem to pull it out. , and neither is closing the sword.

He could only look at Qingyan for help: "Master..."

Before Qing Yan could speak, Xia Qi pushed the sword back for him thoughtfully, and smiled unhurriedly: "I'm here to have a private meeting with my Taoist couple, do you all want to listen together?"

Although the people around were reluctant, they all took a few steps back and continued to discuss as if nothing had happened.

Satisfied, Xia Qi looked back, and saw that Qing Yan was just looking at him leisurely, as if planning to see what else was wrong with him.

He was a little funny, and walked over, holding the sword and looking back: "Hey, let's talk about business, I will go to the altar with you... Of course, it can also be regarded as a private meeting, this trip is only the two of us, and most of them are opportunities to chat with each other. .”

Qing Yan was taken aback.

He automatically ignored the second half of the nonsense. He didn't know what special arrangements the demon hunter had for coming to Lingzhou. The Tianhai Banquet has now become muddy water, and Xiaoshan was not invited, so there is really no need to come in.What's more, Shifang Pavilion has obvious hatred for Xiaoshan, and it is not known whether it will be buried in the future.

Even if you just want to investigate, you don't need to risk yourself.

He reminded at the right time: "If the demon hunter gets involved, it won't be so easy to get out."

Xia Qi scratched his face in puzzlement, not knowing where Qingyan's thoughts went: "My senior brother and I did come here to help, but it is my personal wish to go with you, you go alone, if you meet There is no one to take care of the danger."

No matter how powerful Qingyan is, the possibility of encountering danger still exists. This time the evil is so strange, how can he be allowed to go alone.

Qing Yan looked into those frank and clear eyes, and her thoughts stopped for a rare moment.

He is in the midst of dealing with sects, and he is used to measuring the pros and cons as the head of Cangcheng Dynasty.He usually walks alone, and in the eyes of his disciples, he is omnipotent, as if he wants to go to the altar alone, other than being surprised, others are silent.

Xia Qi is his... Taoist companion, only in the eyes of this person, he needs to be taken care of.Just like in Xinghui Peak, many daily trivial things are obviously irrelevant and can be done by himself, but Xia Qi tirelessly cooperates with his habits.

Disciple Changyao who went to explore the way returned, and the barrier from Luoyuji to the altar had collapsed, but there were no traces of monsters along the way, and Sect Master Wen didn't respond.

After Qingyan repaired the formation, it was time to head to the altar.He nodded towards Fu Leshan, turned and left.

Xia Qi was standing not far away, he didn't care if Qing Yan didn't get a reply to his previous proposal, he planned to quietly withdraw from the crowd, and then quietly follow.

After all, the other sects don't know his relationship with Qing Yan, and they are too close, the influence of his identity will not be good for the reputation of Cang Li and Qing Yan.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to slip away, Qing Yan, who had walked a few steps, suddenly turned around, looked at him in full view, raised his eyebrows slightly, and wondered why he hadn't followed.

The people present at Chang Yao and Shifang Pavilion also looked at Xia Qi in bewilderment, and the atmosphere became strangely quiet.

Xia Qi: "..."

He had no choice but to put it on as if nothing had happened, passed through thoughtful and surprised and hesitant eyes, and followed up bravely.

What is Qingyan doing?

Liu Shi narrowed his eyes and stared at the backs of the two for a moment, then suddenly sneered.

Qing Yan is so impeccable in doing things. It is not enough to restrain the Shifang Pavilion, and he also brings the demon hunter with him. Is it because he is afraid that he will take advantage of the chaos for other purposes?

Although Xia Qi's swordsmanship was fierce, it seemed that he had only been in Xiaoshan for a few years, and the old fox Fu Wan was hard to control. With his junior brother to restrain him, the demon hunters in Lingzhou had no choice but to act accordingly.

Thinking about it this way, it wasn't that his side was restrained, and the depression that was suppressed on the other side also dissipated, he didn't stay idle, and turned to Fu Leshan: "Chang Yao is looking for a weapon, but don't rely on a knife that will cut you. "

Fu Leshan naturally knew that he was referring to the demon hunter, and replied with a pleasant face: "If you don't stand at the edge, you won't be cut."

But he sneered in his heart, no matter how cruel the demon hunter's external reputation is, he has always been clear about killing and killing, and the transaction is also paid in full, which is better than Shifang Pavilion.

Xia Qi sank to the bottom of Qiushui Lake following the Qingyan, wrapped in aura all over his body and separated from the lake water, moving as freely as on the shore.

The coldness of the lake at midnight was blocked by the black cloak, and the field of vision was dark and hazy, with no light from the sky.

Xia Qi rubbed his chin, squinted his eyes and smiled with great interest: "Bai Lan, guess if outsiders know that Cang Li's chief disciple has a close relationship with the demon hunter..."

He had not yet become a demon hunter when he joined the membership, and no one other than Cang Li had time to know who Qing Yan's unregistered Taoist couple was. Now the two are very different and sensitive in their identities, let alone their relationship. Think about this aspect.

Qing Yan glanced at him: "This is between you and me, what does it have to do with other people's thoughts?"

Xia Qi was dumbfounded, and finally figured out that Qing Yan had no taboo against the discovery of their relationship.

Qing Yan had indeed said that no matter whether he could remember the two of them or not, he would shoulder the responsibility of a Taoist companion to treat Xia Qi. Judging from Qing Yan's behavior in Luo Yu Ji, it included protecting him and giving him the responsibility of this identity. Some respect.

Xia Qi sighed worriedly, and exhaled a small string of bubbles: "Do you think we look like Taoist couples on the surface, seeming to be unafraid of the world's criticism, and overcome all difficulties to be together, but in fact there is no such thing as a Taoist couple in private."

The calm expression on Qingyan's face did not shake a bit: "Tao couple generally refers to the relationship between mutual understanding and mutual encouragement in practice. , you can ask me."

Xia Qi looked at him in shock. How could his Taoist companion be as straight as a sword? He couldn't help blurting out: "...who cares about this!" After saying this, even he felt that if Quan Yunzhang's sword repair heard it, he would scold him. He doesn't know how to flatter.

Qing Yan glanced at him suspiciously: "Then what do you care about?" As a swordsman who has only practiced for a hundred years, he didn't quite understand.

Qing Yan's eyes are too open, it seems that his mind is dirty.

Xia Qi hesitated to speak, even though he finally had a chance to be alone with Qing Yan, now that the timing was not right, he gave up and continued chatting about gossip.

"Forget it, the days to come will be long..." He muttered, took a deep breath, and felt helpless in his chest, "You arrived half a day earlier than me, did you find anything in Luoyuji? Except for Xiaoshan, this is the first time I have seen so many people. The monsters gather together, they prevent the restoration of Jindu's formation, what can Jindu do?"

This kind of situation happened in the two Tianhai banquets. Could it be that they were really lured by the Tianhai banquet to show their wealth?

The source of most of Yunzhang's monsters today is Lingying Mountain. Lingying Mountain was destroyed a hundred years ago, and thousands of spirit beasts died and turned into demons. Over the past hundred years, the barrier of Lingying Mountain has gradually loosened, and the monsters have fled out one after another, crossing the Chen Xinghai, He was intercepted and killed by the demon hunter at the Xiaoshan defense line.

But the Xiaoshan mountain range is not that long, so it can't stop all the monsters and monsters. Those who escaped and crossed the border will wreak havoc in all directions.

The demon grows stronger by the soul of the cannibal, the cultivation base of the monk spirit beast and the vitality of the world, and it will also show its fangs following the scent of geniuses and earth treasures.

Qingyan seemed to see through Xia Qi's mind: "If you want to rob property, wouldn't it be better at other times? During the Tianhai Banquet, the guards of the host sect are stricter than usual, and monks from all sects gather together, so the attack will only be more difficult than usual." He paused, "Most spirit beasts don't like to live in groups with other races, and they retain this habit even when they turn into monster beasts. There are so many kinds of monster beasts gathered in Luoyu today, it seems that they were gathered intentionally."

Demonic energy cannot exist alone, but it creates the illusion of inner demons out of thin air. Demonic monsters don't like to live in groups and lose their will, but gang up to wreak havoc in Luoyuji.

This evil is too deliberate.

Xia Qi thought deeply when he heard the words, if there is really someone behind the scenes, what is the reason for the other party to muddy the water.During the Tianhai Banquet, the sects and forces were intertwined, could it be one of the three sects?

Is the sea banquet so exciting every time this day?

Xia Qi: "It really appeared too neatly...Even if the Jindu formation fails, Chang Yao's guard range covers the entire Jindu, and no one notices it."

After Qing Yan listened carefully, he suddenly stamped his feet: "I have a guess as to the appearance of the Demon Beast out of thin air."

Xia Qi was waiting for the answer, but saw that Qing Yan was silent, and his eyes fell on the bottom of the lake not far away.

He also followed the line of sight and looked over.

The two of them were hanging in the lake water. The bottom of the lake was dark and dark. Five mottled pillars stood quietly. The strange totems on the pillars were covered with moss, surrounding an old altar in the center.

The atmosphere around the altar is empty and quiet, like an inconspicuous relic sleeping in the long river of time, with a faint sense of ancient solemnity.
