My Taoist companion just wants to welcome and refuse

The demonic energy was billowing, as if a rainstorm was approaching, the dark clouds were dense and the pressure was low, and there were rumbles among the clouds, swallowing up the bright moonlight on a clear night.

Xia Qi's expression froze, and he turned around and walked quickly to the front of the city wall defense miniature formation. At the same time, Shadow Ring summoned the people in charge of each formation to report the damage.

The defense array of the city wall is usually opened to five layers, which is enough to resist the ordinary demon tide, and it can be increased according to the situation.

Now the backlog of demonic energy is like a giant black hand, beating the barrier constantly, and even the stone wall of the city wall makes an overwhelmed sound.

Xia Qi stood in front of the magic circle and hesitated for a while, and the people who set up the formation in the Sea of ​​Consciousness calmly gave a suggestion: "Drive to the seventh level first. Those who come are not good, so as to avoid accidents. It is not yet known how long this wave of magic will last, and the spirit stones are limited. Hold for as long as possible."

Xia Qi naturally nodded and followed suit, and passed the arrangement to Yingjie without delay.

A moment later, there was a blue inscription flowing past the defensive barrier above Xiaoshan, buzzing, fighting against the devil energy.

Xia Qi's eyes were filled with demonic energy and the inscription, and he frowned: "The magic circle that suppresses teleportation is clearly in motion, how could the magical energy appear out of thin air without any precautions?"

Qing Yan pondered for a while: "Ah Qi, go to the main hall, and let me take the liberty to investigate all the magic circles in Xiaoshan."

Xia Qi was stunned for a moment, Bian Qiuguang was not there, and the feast at the Sea of ​​Consciousness was undoubtedly the most reliable at this time.

He saw that the demonic energy outside the barrier just kept colliding, and no other monsters showed up. The seven-layer barrier was opened to support it, and he rushed to the main hall after telling the disciples on duty.

The hunting sound of the black robe was the only sound in the dark main hall. Xia Qi walked through the barriers with a gust of wind, and the illuminated inscription spread on the ground under the black boots to the central patio——

The abbreviated array corresponding to all the magic circles in Xiaoshan occupies the entire courtyard.

On weekdays, only the door owner can pass all the restrictions and come to the courtyard.Every time Bian Qiuguang goes out, beware of accidents, he will open the restriction to allow seven envoys to arrive.

Xia Qi's solemn face was covered with a layer of faint blue, with the halo flickering and flickering, the outline appeared somewhat sharp.

He lowered his eyes and handed out the sword tassel, Qingyan's spiritual consciousness was covered with the slow-flowing abbreviated circle, and he followed the direction of the aura to walk around, and he was able to grasp all the conditions of the magic circle and the things he touched at this time.

After a few breaths, Qing Yan understood the situation he was facing now, and his tone immediately became solemn and urgent: "Ah Qi, take out all the snow crystals in the mustard seeds, fill them in every formation hole, and open the defensive formation to ten layers. Including family quarters—defenses are everywhere.”

The chill continued to rise from the soles of his feet, Xia Qi suddenly opened his eyes wide, and opened his mouth to ask, Qing Yan seemed to see that he was confused, and slowed down his speech, "Don't panic, just do it first, activate the rest of the magic circle—— Xuejing, I’m ready, I’ll explain it to you on the way.”

Xia Qi's fingers trembled helplessly, no matter how slow his reaction was, he knew that this demon tide was unusual.

He has never heard Qing Yan speak in such a tone...

Not to mention that he hasn't seen the ten-level defensive formation since he entered Xiaoshan. As far as he knows, since the completion of the large formation, there has never been a need to open it to the tenth level. This is the only way to deal with it.

After all, Xia Qi had been through a lot of troubles, so he immediately calmed down.

Xiaoshan's defense formation covers the entire sect's garrison, but in order to make rational use of resources, it only opens the outer periphery where monsters arrive on weekdays.

In the abbreviated array, the places that had been off all year round gradually lit up, and the inscriptions of the entire patio rotated sequentially.

It was obviously the blue and clear light and the solemn and orderly inscription, but Xia Qi was startled at this moment.

Xia Qi hurriedly left the main hall, took out a small bag prepared for the Qing banquet from the mustard seed, opened the bag and saw that it was full of snow crystals, there must be more than [-] snow crystals—enough to buy half a bustling mausoleum state.

Although it was out of date, he was once again shocked by the wealth and power of the big sect, and he was extremely stunned, and casually exposed Xiaoshan's financial situation: "Bai Lan, Xiaoshan may not come up so much for a while..."

A single snow crystal is enough to be a source of spiritual energy for a group of compound magic circles for a year. Taking snow crystals in Xiaoshan requires the approval of the head of the sect, but the situation is urgent at this time, so Qingyan added it by himself...

However, the amount of this spirit stone is so large, can it live up to Cang Cheng's clear account?

"It's my private property. Since it's placed in the mustard seed, it's yours too."

Qing Yan never thought about such a change, but he couldn't travel thousands of miles in an instant.

If Xia Qi can be kept safe and sound, he can even mortgage his cultivation base, not to mention his external possessions.

Xia Qi held the heavy bag in trepidation, and slowly showed a toothache expression when he heard this: "When you say that, I feel so distressed..."

The Sea of ​​Consciousness didn't seem to expect his way of thinking, so he paused for a moment before refraining from answering his gossip, talking about what he found before: "...just now I investigated the Xiaoshan Magic Formation, and found that the entire sect's resident was shrouded in Inside a huge magic circle—if nothing else happens, it is the target magic circle connected with the Longzhou central magic circle."

Xia Qi's mind buzzed blankly, and his whole body felt cold instantly.

"...When, how could you not notice it..."

In this way, the entire sect garrison was not spared... He thought of the wounded in the hospital and the families of the demon hunters who couldn't hold weapons, his teeth trembled, and he clenched his teeth again.

Qing Yan slowly took a deep breath, as if trying to calm down.

Afterwards, the calm and orderly arrangement made Xia Qi feel at ease.

"Ah Qi, don't panic, I'm here. Continue to go to the formation eye to mend the spirit stone, don't stop."

"It was my negligence. Shifang Pavilion slayed demons around Xiaoshan. It seemed to be helping, but it was actually wandering around to build magic circles. They deliberately hid the inscriptions of the magic circles. They didn't add the last step until the spiritual energy was sufficient. Show any signs."

"This magic circle is connected with the Longzhou central magic circle. Its scope is too wide, covering all the magic circles in Xiaoshan. The magic energy that appeared out of thin air is transmitted. It is not yet known the follow-up purpose of the magic circle, but Shi Fang The cabinet has been planning for a long time, and I am afraid it is not over yet."

Xia Qi shook his head when he heard the words, Shifang Pavilion was full of tricks and was caught off guard, how could Qingyan be blamed for being negligent.

What's more, Qing Yan was already involved in danger alone to break through the situation, fighting non-stop to enter dangerous situations, analyzing the magic circle day and night, and even getting a hand from him from time to time... The sacrifice was far more than imagined.

But Qing Yan's words also made his heart fall into the cold pool step by step.

The crisis buried before seemed to explode at this moment, and the sword hanging above his head finally fell slowly.

He frowns and gallops in the wind and snow, adding snow crystals between the eyes of each formation, and as far as he can see is Xiaoshan under the thick magic cloud.

"Whether it is Shifang Pavilion using monsters, or monsters cooperating with Shifang Pavilion... Can you be sure that the person behind the scenes is from Shifang Pavilion?"

Qing Yan pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice, "I can't get rid of the relationship. I lost contact with Cang Li's disciples today, and they must have entered the magic circle by mistake. The village at the foot of Xiaoshan happened to be attacked by demons, and Chang Yao's disciple Gu There is no time to respond, and there is no news from the master of the side gate——Xiaoshan needs to be fully prepared to deal with the enemy."

The siege came too fast, and Xiaoshan was immediately isolated and helpless.

Xia Qi's figure was sharp and quick, filling all the formations in less than a moment.

He took a deep breath in the sudden blizzard and tried his best to calm down the anxiety in his chest: "Over the past hundred years, Xiaoshan has suffered many disasters in the plague of demons, and it still stands today. Even if this tide of demons has never been seen before, As long as we’re still here, we’ll survive.”

In the end, he hung his heart for the remaining purpose of the strange magic circle, and couldn't help muttering, "I didn't expect Xiaoshan to have an accident first... I have to guard it, and hope that Master can come back safely."

Messages reporting the situation of various places fell into the Sea of ​​Consciousness through the Shadow Ring. Xia Qi stood blankly in the snowstorm, looking up at the tenth-fold defensive magic circle strangling the demonic energy, and the sky above Xiaoshan was surging with wind and clouds.

Suddenly, a special message brought him back to his senses.

The message came from Gu Ying, telling him to go to Bian Qiuguang's house.

He hesitated and frowned, sensing that Gu Ying's position was in the rift defense area in the southwest... Bian Qiuguang was even at the foot of the distant Xiaoshan Mountain.

At this juncture... is there a countermeasure?

Xia Qi saw that everything was safe under the resistance of the ten layers of defensive barriers, and even the demon hunters hadn't directly confronted the demonic energy, so he rushed to the family's residential area.

As usual, he took a short cut with ease, put his hands on the fence, quickly rolled into the yard, and pushed open the door.

Sure enough, there was no one there, but a flat and long box was placed on the conspicuous table in the hall, and there was a note on it.

With a "huh" in his heart, he walked over and picked up the note, which was written in Bian Qiuguang's bold and sharp handwriting, with only three simple words - to the apprentice.

Why choose this time to give gifts, besides, Bian Qiuguang has never given him anything, what kind of thought is this... He murmured in his heart, opened the box, and after a pause, his eyes suddenly widened——

It is actually a sword, and those who are used to swords will know it is not ordinary at a glance.

Xia Qi picked it up in astonishment, and as if bewitched, he pushed out a section of the sword with his thumb. The cold stardust, the blade was covered with clear frost, as if forged into a section of clear moonlight.

Jian Ming——

"Lightning?"

The people in Sea of ​​Consciousness were rarely surprised, "It's a good chance that it was transferred to the side sect master."

Xia Qi was inexplicably given a sword, but he was still confused: "What origin?"

Qing Yan: "It's the sword of Pavilion Master Yue Lao."

Xia Qi gasped, and hurriedly changed from holding the sword in one hand to holding it respectfully. He felt that these hands touched too many extraordinary treasures today, and maybe they were also tainted with auspiciousness.

"Master, what do you mean? Let me enshrine it on the incense table in the future as a family heirloom?"

Qingyan: "How could the elders gift you a sword just for viewing."

Xia Qi slowly clenched Lianguang tightly, but he was not at all happy, his heart sank for no reason: "Why at this time..."

He looked around the house restlessly, trying to find some other traces, and then noticed a message from Gu Ying——

Your master asked me to bring you a sentence - throw away the gap sword and move forward.

Only then did Xia Qi realize something slowly, and took a sudden breath, the frost and snow on the cloak seemed to soak into the marrow of his bones.

When he insisted on leaving Xiaoshan, he narrowly escaped death on the dangerous journey, and because of the death of the little girl, he killed all the monsters, and he was accompanied by this Gap Sword.

For five years, he kept in mind the helplessness of that day, so he never changed his sword.

Bian Qiuguang watched him make progress silently, and knew his knot most clearly - the more he wanted to remember something, the more he was trapped by something.

Xia Qi clenched his trembling fingers, and still walked around the room aimlessly, as if this could calm down the growing uneasiness.

Suddenly, his wandering eyes stopped on a wine jug - Bian Qiuguang carried it with him in recent years, and took a sip from time to time.

The gift of the sword made him feel that something was wrong, so he thought about many clues in the past.

According to Gu Ying, before Bian Qiuguang became a monk, he was a general in the previous dynasty. He was in the army all year round and had a strict personality, especially in regulating the behavior of demon hunters.

For example, he is not allowed to drink alcohol during missions and rotations, and he himself is even more strict with himself.

Xia Qi quickly walked over, took off the wine cap, and a scent of wine mixed with medicinal herbs wafted from the wine jug that had bottomed out.

Seeing his serious and puzzled expression, Qing Yan guessed what he was thinking, and asked, "Can you tell which medicines they are?"

Xia Qijiu became ill and became a doctor, tried his best to calm down, focused on distinguishing carefully, and said out the certain flavors. He was only halfway through, when Qing Yan suddenly made up the remaining flavors for him in a deep voice, and then fell silent.

Xia Qi felt that Gao Xuan's heart was being pushed up the cliff, so he hurriedly asked.

"Aqi..." Qingyan hesitated, paused, finally sighed, and said in a deep voice, "This prescription is rare... Jindan monks can accumulate runes in the primordial spirit, and the medicine...can strengthen and stimulate Rune."

Xia Qi's fingers holding the flagon trembled, and his stomach was instantly filled with heavy lead, as if he had returned to the gate of a small town that was full of scorched earth five years ago, and his stomach almost felt nauseous.

He put down the jug, picked up Lianguang, and quickly left the room to find Gu Ying.
