My Taoist companion just wants to welcome and refuse

As soon as the barrier warning inscription was lit, the disciples of all sects gathered quickly.

Fu Wan had already left the house with all the demon hunters, and went to the city first to investigate and rescue the people.

Most of the magic vines in the house were covered with light. Xia Qi stood in the atrium, attaching his inspiration to his five senses, overlooking the magic vines stretching their teeth and claws outside the continuous roof, while the city was full of horror and screams... one can imagine the situation.

It's not quiet tonight.

He met Wen Yuxie in front of the door, and Wen Yuxie ordered some Chang Yao disciples to clear away the remaining magic vines in the house, and stationed here to take care of the wounded.

She cut off the magic vine that was trying to sneak attack with one knife, and firmly stepped on the struggling magic vine under her boots. The disgusting touch like flesh and blood made her raise her brows lightly: "Tsk, what's going on with these plants? I just watched with my own eyes. A pumpkin vine has grown into such a virtue, is it worthy of the hard-working uncle?"

"..." The headmaster of the knowledge and knowledge sarcastically uttered a joke, Xia Qi hesitated to speak, but finally couldn't hold back, "That's right, delicious pumpkins can't possibly grow from this thing."

He pondered for a moment, then frowned, "Sect Leader Wen also knew about the situation in the southwestern suburbs last night. Demon seeds can hide demonic energy and live in living objects, and entering demonic vines can turn them into flesh-and-blood monsters. From this point of view, demon seeds can not only parasitize humans, but can also fall into ordinary plants and hide..."

If Qing Yan hadn't found clues underground and reminded them to investigate in the southwestern suburbs, they might not have discovered the devil's conspiracy.

Now that the incident happened, it was a bit late, but knowing the reason, there is a direction to discuss countermeasures.

Wen Yuxie thought for a while, the situation was critical at this time, she motioned for the two to leave the house to join the rescue, and said as she walked: "It's not a bad thing to finally meet the real handicraft of the person behind the scenes. , proves that our direction is right. There are too many people in Jinlian City, and the capital is surrounded by dense forests, and the magic vines are lurking, making it difficult to move. Now that the plants in the city have suddenly mutated, and the monster seeds are everywhere, our manpower does not need to kill the magic vines. Find a safe place to resettle the people first."

This arrangement coincided with Xia Qi's thoughts, he nodded in agreement, and suddenly saw a touch of snow rushing from the night out of the corner of his eye.

That was Sui Sui!

Xu Shi didn't find him after waking up, and ran out. There was a magic vine chasing after him, and he was about to be caught.

He was so frightened that he quickly drew his sword and chopped off the magic vine, then dodged to hold the frightened Sui Sui in his arms.Xueling Weasel groaned uneasily, and kept burrowing into his arms, a little uncommonly agitated.

He stretched out his hand to gently brush off the dust on Sui Sui's body, and found that Sui Sui's small body had been invaded by demonic energy.He immediately pulled out the talisman paper, pressed it on Xuebai's stomach, and slowly injected aura to stimulate it, so that the effect of the talisman would not be so violent.

Even so, Sui Sui was still struggling and whimpering in pain, Xia Qi was so distressed.

After a few breaths, the devilish energy was cleared away, Sui Sui drooped his little ears weakly, his claws tightly grasped the skirt of his clothes, unwilling to leave.

Spirit beasts have a very low ability to withstand demonic energy, not to mention that Sui Sui has been stripped of the demon core, which is no different from ordinary small animals, and their lives are even more fragile.

If the mustard seeds are put back, there will be a sudden rebirth, and he will have no time to treat them.

Xia Qi tucked Suisui into the lapel of his clothes, the sect master's cloak was able to resist all spells and magic energy, so it could just protect it.

Wen Yuxie reached out and touched Suisui who was pocketed on Xia Qi's chest. When he thought of something, he took out a storage mustard and threw it to Xia Qi, saying, "Half of all the flint that Chang Yao brought on this trip is reserved for disciples to cooperate with." The magic weapon is used to prevent the infestation of demon seeds, and the rest are used to drive the black cloak runes for the demon hunters, and Fu Wan's team also got them before leaving. But the number is limited, and we need to find a shelter as soon as possible."

Xia Qi was stunned, and left the house together with the other party, and said with a smile: "Master Wen Quan, thank you for your help. Yes, the situation is critical now, and the incident in Jin Liancheng is probably just the beginning, so let's transfer the disciples from the border back."

Wen Yuxie agreed: "Now that the demon cultivators are almost cured, leave a small number of disciples to guard and take care of them, and the rest should be withdrawn to Jinlian City... I think about it, the disciples of Chang Yao over there also have fire crystals, which are enough to protect all the disciples together." coming."

The two heads finished their communication, separated at the gate of the house, and went to both ends of the capital to support their respective sects, sending messages along the way to dispatch disciples on the border.

Jin Liancheng's situation was more serious than Xia Qi imagined.

As far as the eye can see, dense vines are covered with sticky blood, winding and crawling all over the streets and alleys.

Thick vines curled around the corpses sucking blood, like giant pythons swimming slowly.The thinner vines crazily pierce living creatures, strangle and devour them, like tentacles that destroy everything.

These monsters swarmed and scattered, and no one survived wherever they went.

The sweltering and humid air is filled with the smell of rotting plants and disgusting blood.

Who would have thought that the inconspicuous flowers and plants at home have now turned into cunning and ferocious beasts, hunting and killing any living creatures.

The evil cultivators who usually show off their power and bully the streets are vulnerable under the magic vine, let alone ordinary people.

Corpses are everywhere, the shadow of death continues to spread, and the extravagant city is wrapped in vines to make it airtight, and it is hell on earth.

Xia Qi rescued some common people along the way, so he could only rely on Xiaoshan disciples to protect the common people and keep fighting.

After a while, he heard the cry for help, opened a door blocked by vines, rescued A-Lian and her father and brother, and took them away.

He was so worried that more and more people were saved, and his walking speed slowed down. The city was full of magic vines, and it was difficult to find shelters...

And he has been wondering in his heart that the demon seeds have already been stored in the plants, Nanfeng is not a clean place, there is no shortage of demon energy, and the demon seeds will be stimulated after slowly absorbing the magic energy.

But why the time is so consistent, it is still in the middle of the night when ordinary people are unprepared... The signs of fueling the flames are too obvious, but how do they do it?

Where does the magic energy come from, so that the magic seed takes shape instantly?

Xia Qi led his disciples and the people to the center of the city, and suddenly he felt a surge of fresh air around him, and the chaotic energy around him dissipated instantly.

His heart palpitated suddenly, and he hurriedly looked up.

I saw a few figures floating in the sky not far away, with silver robes flying up and down, like a few rays of light in the dark sky.

They formed a circle, ten feet apart from each other.The movements of the hands are uniform, and the complicated and bright inscriptions are quickly formed in front of their eyes, and the directions are changing according to a certain law, and the lines of a huge magic circle are gradually clear.

After not finding Qing Yan, the light in Xia Qi's eyes dimmed.

That's right, this is the countermeasure Qingyan asked Mingwei to implement first. It turned out to be a shelter, but it coincided with the ideas of the other two heads.

This is a good thing.

He cheered up and ordered the demon hunter to rush there with the people.

The sanctuary circle is located in the center of Jinlian City, the farthest from the dense forest outside the city, and the most convenient way to gather scattered people.

A large magic circle cannot be built overnight, and the Cangcheng disciples need to be perfected and reinforced layer by layer.But as soon as the big formation completes the first level, it will start to block the magic energy and magic vines.

People from the three sects gathered at the sanctuary, except Cangcheng disciples who continued to build the circle, the rest did not rest for a moment, went all over the city to help the people and brought them back to the sanctuary.

And many civilians who were lightly injured recovered from their panic and offered to help treat other injured people in the shelter.

The population of Jin Liancheng was not inferior to that of Jindu, but the eruption of the magic vines was too sudden, and it was in the middle of the night. Many people died before they had time to escape, and only [-]% of the people were saved.

At noon, Xia Qi did not know how many times he went back and forth.

He wrestled with the magic vine all the way, but his spiritual sense could no longer detect the existence of living things, so he changed to another place.

The vines all over the city ate up the flesh and blood of the corpses, but found that the rest of the living things had disappeared. They couldn't help but become more fierce and violent during the fight with the disciples like an enraged monster, and many disciples were injured.

After a few hours.

Xia Qi, Wen Yuxie and Ming Wei ordered all the disciples to rest, and the three of them left the shelter to investigate separately for the last time to prevent any omissions.

The vines all over the city are full of flesh and blood, and they devour and fuse each other. The largest vine is as thick as four people hugging each other.

The rest of the vines are also like giant pythons. They are bloodthirsty beasts that can't get enough to eat. They slammed around in the street that lost their fresh flesh and blood, searching for the breath of living things inch by inch.

Xia Qi concealed his breath and sneaked among the ruins of the city, his figure was fast and hard to catch, like a fleeting shadow under the sun.

After a while, there was still no sign of living things in the area he was in charge of.

He was just about to leave, but saw the vine closest to him suddenly turn towards him——

He was vigilant and concentrated, his eyes were fixed on the movement of the magic vine, and his hand was already on Lianguang.Just wait for the monster to advance an inch before the sword can be unsheathed.

Unexpectedly, in the next breath, there was a sound of collapse a foot away from him, and a figure rushed out, scurrying around in panic, as if surrendering first under the "watching" of the magic vine.

Xia Qi: "..."

He noticed that the man had received half of the magic weapon, and it turned out that he used it to hide his breath, no wonder he had escaped many inspections.

Seeing that a person with a poor cultivation level was being chased by the magic vine and was crawling all over the ground, Xia Qi dodged over, picked up the opponent's collar, and chopped off the furiously attacking magic vine with a few strokes.

The man looked young and handsome, but his whole body was dirty and messy. There were dark circles under his eyes that hindered his admiration. He looked at him in panic, and suddenly opened his eyes and struggled.

"Demon hunter! I didn't expect to fall into Xiaoshan's hands. What do you want to do! You actually fed people to the magic vines! It's beyond conscience!"

Xia Qi didn't bother to argue, did this come from a place where there was no outside news?It's no wonder that he deliberately avoided several searches and rescues by the demon hunters. It turned out that he had a grudge.

He simply smiled sinisterly: "Let me see, which magic vine is better for you, and I will throw you away."

The young man's face turned green when he heard the words, obviously recalling some bad memories, and the righteous words in the accusation disappeared immediately, he hugged Xia Qi's arm tightly, and begged for mercy flexibly: "Brother, I can speak martial arts, With a little knowledge of medicine, any difficult and miscellaneous diseases are not a problem, so it is a pity to feed the magic vine like this!"

Xia Qi was amused, and he cut vegetables and melons from the magic vine blocking the way: "You also know medicine?"

Seeing the frighteningly sharp light shining from the blade, the young man was eager to surrender, and felt for the pulse on Xia Qi's wrist.

His face froze, and then he was shocked: "Brother, you fell into the abyss, brother?! This is so difficult... I can't cure it, God will kill me..."

Xia Qi was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect this person to have some knowledge.

While speaking, he was already close to the shelter, but the scene in front of him stunned him.

I saw thousands of magic vines densely surrounding the uncompleted barrier, and living creatures that seemed to be aware of disappearing gathered in it, hitting and whipping non-stop, trying to brute force the barrier.

Some of the magic vines sensed the return of a living creature, and rushed towards Xia Qi immediately.

Xia Qi dodged quickly, hitting the magic vine with a shining handle so that he couldn't get close.

He was able to handle it with ease, but the young man screamed and trembled in fright.His hand was just a little loose, and the other party immediately hugged his thigh tightly and didn't let go.

Xu was afraid that he would be left behind, so the man groped on his leg without giving up, trying to regain the dignity of a doctor: "Brother, how about I help you see if you have other diseases..."

Xia Qi was wearing a cub on his chest, dragged by his feet a strange man who kept groping for his calf, with a bulging vein on his forehead: "You should take a look for yourself now."

He almost couldn't help kicking him down, but he heard the young man's exclamation as if offering a treasure: "Brother, this time, you will be able to save yourself from danger. The wound-receiving talisman on your leg is still intact, and you can see that the other party has a lot of cultivation. Can resist a lot of damage for you..."

Xia Qi was taken aback for a moment, his figure suddenly became stagnant, and the hand holding the hilt of the sword trembled.

He lowered his head slowly: "... What did you say?"

Seeing that Xia Qi finally became interested in him, as if he was testing him, the young man hugged his thighs tightly as if showing off his knowledge.

"This red rope contains the injury-absorbing spell. Injury-bearing, literally, half of the injuries suffered by the elder brother will be passed on to the other party. I think the elder brother is also a person who often walks in dangerous situations, and the spell has not been damaged at all. It proves that the person who hooked up with him has a very high level of cultivation. Don't tell me, this is the touchstone between Taoist couples, this is the first time I have seen it..."

Xia Qi's eyelashes trembled, and he slowly realized something.

He gritted his teeth slowly, only to feel that the thousands of noisy sounds around him were far away in his ears, leaving only the faint sound.

The veins on the back of the hand holding the sword hilt were bulging, the knuckles were trembling, and the eye sockets were slowly turning red from the surging chest.

At the beginning, Qing Yan knew that he was determined to stay in Xiaoshan, and sadly watched him leave, and found him a few days later, wanting to form a bond with him.

When Qing Yan personally helped him put on the red rope, the temperature left by his fingertips on the instep is still fresh in his memory.

And on the wall of Xiaoshan City, Qing Yan must have thought of this matter, so he made the same choice without mentioning it, and taught him to reactivate the spell...

Five years ago, he gave up Qingyan's protection, and Qingyan fulfilled his wish.

But now, Qing Yan understands his heart as a demon hunter, guarding the sect and fellow sects.

What remained unchanged was that Qing Yan chose another way of keeping silent to continue protecting him.

During the five years when he was alone with the spirit and the abyss in his body, the Taoist companion who he thought existed in name only and was thousands of miles away accompanied him to grow continuously.

All the injuries he suffered from gritting his teeth also fell on that man.

No wonder Qing Yan's name was drawn when drawing the talisman, no wonder he always survived catastrophe...

Not because of luck, but because he had a feast.

Xia Qi stood there as if he had lost his soul, as if everything in the world was unimportant.

He trembled all over in panic, his eyes were sore and uncomfortable, and gradually blurred.

He was confused and anxiously looking for something among the vines attacking all around him, only an almost crazy voice asked repeatedly in his heart——

Where is Bo Lan?

Where is Bai Lan...

Seeing that the extremely ferocious person suddenly gave up resisting, the magic vine couldn't help but quickly surround him, and was about to drown and pierce Xia Qi——

A ray of clear light suddenly swayed in the wilderness, causing the strong devilish energy to collapse.

The sharp and snowy sword light shook down like thousands of stars, and thousands of magic vines were shattered by the thick sword energy, turning into powder and fleeing.

Zaichuan was severely slaughtered, and within three feet, the evil spirits ran away in terror.

When the blade was flipped, the master's calm and cold eyes, as well as the faint starlight on the corner of the dark blue robe, were reflected.

Qing Yan turned around, carefully looked at the intact Xia Qi, and slowly let down her hanging heart.

He saw Sui Sui in his arms, and a stranger who closed his eyes and muttered "Don't give up" on his lap...

His eyes fell on the man's hand that was tightly holding onto Xia Qi's thigh, and he frowned slightly.

The young man was like a light on his back, he immediately opened his eyes and let go, stepped aside, and shrunk himself into a ball.

Only then did Qing Yan withdraw her gaze calmly, and looked at her Taoist companion, only to find that something was wrong with him.

Xia Qi was staring at him closely, his eye sockets were red and moist, bloodshot eyes appeared in his normally clear pupils, and there was danger in them.
