[Sword Three] Mountain Ghost Ballad

Mount Li, located at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, has been full of mystery in the eyes of the world since ancient times. It is not only the birthplace of many myths and legends, but also the "Yaochi Fairy Forest" loved by emperors and generals of all dynasties.

The palaces and other courtyards on the mountain are scattered all over the place, and the royal gardens of the past dynasties are located among them. During the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, Xuanzong spared no effort in building a white jade hot spring pool for the imperial concubine to bathe in.

Since the founding of the Yin Yang family thousands of years ago, the sect has been located in Lishan Mountain. Although it is close to the imperial capital, few people can find out where it is, because the ancestors of the Yin Yang family planted a thousand kinds of mazes in Lishan Mountain when they established the sect. Using the power of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, he divided the huge Lishan Mountain into two parts, inside and outside, so as to achieve the purpose of protecting the inheritance of the Yin-Yang family.

As a scenic spot, the outer mountain of Lishan Mountain is meticulously carved, which is the whole picture of the foothills of Lishan Mountain in the eyes of the world, while the inner mountain hidden in the illusion is a supernatural workmanship. It is called "Li Lishan".

"Li Lishan" has always been a sacred place in the minds of the disciples of the Yinyang family. It has been hidden in the illusion for thousands of years. Although the flowers, leaves, plants and trees here are all symmetrical with the outer mountains, there is no obvious difference in the mountains. The four seasons prosper and wither, only the stars continue to rotate, and the yin and yang are unpredictable.

Whether inside or outside Lishan, whether it was used as a royal garden or a residence of the Yin Yang family, it was not a place where people could easily enter before, but the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion finally broke the peace of Lishan.

First, An Lushan blatantly sent troops into the Huaqing Palace to search for the secret sword of the first emperor's dragon chariot, and then the Yinyang Palace, which had been hidden for a long time, appeared frequently in the rivers and lakes, seemingly in collusion with Langya.

The flames of war finally spread to the isolated Lishan Mountain.

At the junction of the inner and outer Lishan Mountains, two young warriors in white robes were dutifully guarding the entrance of the dense forest. They held halberds, their expressions were solemn, their eyes were as sharp as eagles, and they refused to let go of the slightest movement around them.

A gust of wind blew by, and the quiet forest made slight noises, and a figure gradually appeared on the other side of the dense forest, which immediately attracted the attention of the warrior guarding the mountain.

The two warriors looked at each other, nodded and clenched the halberd in their hands. One of the warriors stepped forward to investigate, while the rest of the warriors stayed on the spot and watched vigilantly in case of accidents.

The figure got closer and closer, slowly revealing a slender figure and a pretty face in the mist. When the warrior saw it, his vigilance was reduced by two points, but he still didn't dare to relax easily.

Therefore, when the visitor approached, the samurai took advantage of the gap in the salute to stop the person on the side of the road, "Miss Pear, the head of the sect has orders. The enemy is at hand, and the Yin-Yang Palace is only allowed to go out but not to enter. The girl was ordered to The head of the sect is ordered to leave the mountain, so I don't know what to do when I come back at this time?"

Zhong Li was stopped by the warrior, but she was not annoyed, with a faint smile on her face, she said in a soft voice: "I came back this time just at the order of Master, do you know why I left the mountain earlier?"

The warrior was stunned for a moment, not knowing what she meant, but he still replied respectfully: "Miss Li left the mountain this time because she was ordered by the head to hunt down the thieves who sneaked into the Yin Yang Palace earlier."

Zhong Li smiled again, but her voice suddenly became cold, "I didn't expect you to remember my mission... Then do you know why I came back this time?"

Seeing Zhong Li's sudden change of face, the warrior broke out in a cold sweat, and said bravely, "Subordinate... I don't know."

With a sneer on Zhong Li's face, she passed the warrior in front of her who blocked her way, and walked slowly towards the warrior not far away, with a hint of anger in her voice: "The reason why I came back so quickly is because I found out that Thieves, now you are back in Mount Li, and you are responsible for guarding the mountain, you are so negligent, you don’t even know that people have gone in, if Master finds out..." She didn't finish her sentence, but It has shocked the two warriors.

"Miss, please forgive me, this subordinate was negligent, please forgive me!"

The two warriors showed panic, thinking of the thunderous tactics of the master, they felt even more disturbed, and they all bowed to Zhong Li.

Seeing this, Zhong Li didn't say anything, just walked up to one of the warriors, looked him up carefully, and then said: "Get up first, the matter is not that bad, as long as you promise me something matter, I can let you pay off your merits.”

The two warriors looked at each other with some hesitation on their faces.

Zhong Li showed a shy smile, with a hint of evil in the smile, and said quite meaningfully: "I have a friend who wants to go in and visit the head, but he has a bad temper. You can meet him later, But please be polite..."

As soon as Zhong Li finished speaking, a scream came from the woods in front of him. At the same time, a puppet guarding the mountain was thrown out of the woods by a force, and fell right in front of the two warriors. With a reaction, the puppets on the ground turned into flying ash and dissipated in the air accompanied by a burst of frost.

The warrior who was closer to the exit saw the shock, but quickly reacted, holding a halberd towards the entrance and shouting: "Who is coming, dare to act presumptuously in the Yin Yang Palace!"

Facing the samurai's questioning, the visitor did not intend to speak immediately, but walked out of the bushes, and slowly revealed a slender figure in red and white robes, it was Mo Yu with a slightly impatient face.

The samurai looked over vigilantly, and saw that although the young man had an extraordinary bearing, he was full of evil spirits, so he knew something was wrong. He slightly exerted force on the hand holding the halberd, and the whole person entered a state of ready-to-go, and said with a serious look: "Who are you waiting for? This is the residence of the Yin Yang Palace. Outsiders are not allowed to trespass, and leave quickly!"

"Oh, your memory is too bad... My friend, didn't I just mention it to you?"

Zhong Li's gentle voice rang in the warrior's ears, causing him to stop breathing, but before he could turn around, he felt his body was restrained by a strange force, making it difficult for him to move.

The sound of the sharp knife piercing into the flesh sounded, and the warrior stared at his chest in disbelief. A blood flower had already bloomed there, and the bright red blood dripped from the tip of the knife. He turned his head with difficulty, and he didn't even have time to look behind him. The person who attacked him took a look and fell down unwillingly.

"Zhong Li" quickly withdrew the dagger, wiped the blood on the blade with a handkerchief, and his voice returned to his usual softness, sounding indistinguishable, "Yin Yang Palace can be regarded as capable of producing many people, but the man who was sent to watch the door Two guys, why are they so useless, if I hadn't figured out the reality before, I would almost have thought these were just two bait."

Mo Yu looked around and said, "The entrance to the inner mountain is covered with a large number of mechanism arrays, making it difficult for ordinary people to enter. It is estimated that Yin Yang Palace is quite confident about this, so they did not send more people to guard the entrance."

Yan, who was disguised as Zhongli, nodded noncommittally, looked at the dense jungle around him and the palace not far away, and said, "The ancestors of the Yinyang family can be regarded as strange people. Such a big mountain is actually divided by life and death." It has been divided into two parts, and the inner mountain is so hidden, it is quite difficult to find it."

Mo Yu frowned and looked deep into the dense forest, with some vigilance in his eyes: "It's fine that there are few guards at the entrance. Why is the surroundings still so calm when we get here? Our way of sneaking in must have been too smooth."

But Yan didn't care much and said: "With you here, shouldn't we sneak in smoothly?"

Of course Mo Yu didn't think that Yan was praising him, so he frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Yan smiled lightly and said: "A few days ago, I didn't realize that there was something wrong with you after you lost your memory, but looking at it now, it is really inconvenient."

Seeing that Mo Yu's face showed signs of turning cold, Yan stopped showing off. He brushed his long hair on his shoulders and said, "Why do you think the owner of the valley let you come to Mount Li under such circumstances? Besides that little girl named Jiang Miao, you are the only one who knows the weaknesses of the Yin Yang Palace the most."

Mo Yu looked at Yan expressionlessly, and Yan turned her head to show him an ambiguous smile, "You have been together for so many years, and she probably told you everything during this period, didn't you realize that you just cracked the entrance to Lishan Mountain?" When it comes to the labyrinth, it is far more handy than cracking other organs?"

Mo Yu's expression didn't change, he just said indifferently: "You must have not forgotten the matter of tracking down the spies in the valley a few days ago. If the information you got is true, are you not afraid that this is a trick to invite you into the urn?"

"Hmph, you don't even believe those people's nonsense, and now you are using it to deceive me."

Yan said faintly: "Whether it is true or not, it will be clear after we find Jiang Miao. If she is innocent, she will go with us. If she is not innocent..."

Mo Yu answered the words calmly: "What will happen?"

Yan lowered her head and smiled, and said: "If it's not innocent...then it must be that this girl is being used by someone because of her stupidity, and she just happened to be tied back to you as Mrs. Yazhai, leaving her in the Valley of the Wicked for the rest of her life."

Mo Yu was taken aback, but didn't say much, just snorted coldly: "Let's go quickly, don't waste time here." After saying that, regardless of how the smoke reacted, he entered the dense forest first.

The dense forest is tall and tall, forming a tendency to block out the sky, because it is the only way to the Yin-Yang Palace, the light in the forest is not too dark, there are dots of fluorescent lights scattered among the trees along the way, and there is a row of lighting lamps beside the stone road. The stone lamp illuminates the way to the palace ahead.

Yan and Mo Yu walked side by side, seemingly brisk and casual, but in fact, neither of them relaxed their vigilance of the surroundings, while sizing up the road ahead, they also paid attention to the movement around them.

When passing a wooden bridge, through the nearby waterfall, Yan suddenly heard the sound of fighting. He stopped and looked at the waterfall thoughtfully, touched his chin and said: "The other side of this waterfall On the one hand, it must be the Xiuling Ridge in the west of Outer Shanxi, I don't know what method Yin Yang used to cut off the water flow, so that people can't see a single flaw."

Speaking of this, Yan squinted his eyes and took a closer look at the waterfall, and found that the water at the bottom had turned faintly red, and there was still a faint smell of blood in the air. The family's territory is really merciless, and now that the battle is fierce outside, I don't know if a few more hypocrites will die."

Mo Yu glanced at the pool that was slowly being stained red with blood, his face was so calm that he couldn't find any emotional fluctuations. In fact, he really didn't care at all about the fight that was going on outside.

The siege of Lishan Mountain by martial arts people this time was originally instigated by Li Fu out of some considerations. The major sects in the rivers and lakes did not send anyone to help the Tang army, and even the Haoqi League did not take this muddy water .

At this moment, none of the people Mo Yu cared about was involved in this turmoil. Not only did he not need to worry, but he also wanted to thank these Jianghu people for drawing the attention of Yin Yang Palace for him, so that he could sneak into the inner mountain to find out the news.

I only hope that this trip to Mount Li will not be in vain, and it is best to find out the whereabouts of the girl... The doubts in his heart now, he can't wait to ask her face to face.

Yan glanced sideways at Mo Yu, and found that his complexion was not very good, and said strangely: "You have been in a bad mood since you came back from the secret palace of the Mo family a few days ago, why, didn't you find what you wanted?"

Mo Yu nodded silently, did not explain anything, but made Yan feel even more strange: "Didn't you already get the fragment of "Hu Feizi" a few days ago, is there anything else that you haven't found?"

Mo Yu said calmly, "He's a little guy who is good at running away. He ran away when he saw me."

Yan looked Mo Yu up and down, and said with a strange expression: "The little guy... can run... Does this Mohist secret palace still have pets?"

——————————————————————————————————

The Mohist Secret Hall is a secret room built by Mohist disciples in the pre-Qin period. It is located on the southeast side of the underground palace of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum.

In order to find Qin Ling, An Lushan ordered his subordinates to dig the entrance in the city of Chang'an, but Mo Yu, who was secretly observing all this, found another secret room. The pre-Qin Mohists left over, among which there are fragments of "Hu Feizi".

Although Yan was not in Chang'an at that time, he was well informed. He knew that Mo Yu had spent a lot of effort to clear the entrance to the secret hall of the Mohist family, but he should be in a good mood after successfully obtaining the scroll.

But on the contrary, since Yan came to Chang'an to meet Mo Yu, he found that the most valued disciple of the Valley Master had been in a low-pressure state, which made the disciples of the Evil Man Valley lurking in Chang'an feel quite uneasy, fearing that a Accidentally provoked this killing god.

At this moment, Yan, who was walking in the dense forest of Mount Li, just now knew the reason why Mo Yu was in a bad mood, but he felt that it was actually the same as when he didn't know it.

After all, Mo Yu was in a bad mood because he didn't catch a pet. Yan said that it was so windy today that he couldn't hear other people's words clearly, which led to hallucinations.

Of course, if someone else told him this, he might still believe it, for example... that idiot who dug up bamboo shoots for half a month to raise a tantrum panda?

Yan recalled the old things in his heart, and unconsciously brought a smile on his face. Suddenly, his arm was pulled by someone, and he subconsciously turned his head, only to find that it was Mo Yu, who was frowning at him at the moment.

Yan puzzled, "What?"

Mo Yu frowned and said, "Don't go any further, we've been hit by an illusion."

Yan was surprised and said: "Illusion?" He raised his head and looked around, and saw a lush greenery among the trees, with lush flowers and plants, and there was nothing wrong with it, but he knew that Mo Yu was not a random person, so he showed it with his eyes. The meaning of asking.

Mo Yu shook his head and said, "Exactly, I can't tell, I just feel something is wrong..." There was a rare trace of hesitation in his voice, "It seems...someone taught me how to distinguish illusions..."

Yan Wenyan was slightly taken aback, but then realized who the person Mo Yu was talking about was the person who taught him to distinguish illusions.

For a moment, he sighed a little, thinking that the man was really sincere to Mo Yu.

But then for some reason, he couldn't help remembering that Ying treated him so well when he was still in the Tang Sect, but it's a pity that he and Ying will never return to the past...

Yan was originally lost in memory, but suddenly realized that something was wrong around him. He tried his best to regain his senses, but when he looked up, he found that the surrounding scenery changed suddenly. Not only did Mo Yu disappear, but the place he was in was also replaced by the dense forest of Lishan Mountain. A boundless verdant bamboo forest.

Looking at the greenery in front of him, Yan felt a little dazed, but his face became more and more ugly, because although this bamboo forest had been away for more than ten years, he could still recognize it at a glance. Bamboo sea!

Could it be that this illusion can capture people's minds and force people to think of the past?

After realizing this, Yan calmed down instead. He took a closer look at the surrounding environment, and after confirming the location of Tangjiaji in the distance, a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips, and he walked towards a man without hesitation. direction to go.

He wants to see what this deceptive illusion can make him see!

Yan walked straight along the path among the bamboo forests. Xu hadn't been back to Tangmen for a long time. He found that his memory seemed to be wrong, and he gradually came to a place that he felt a little strange.

He stopped, frowned and looked around. Just as he was about to change direction and move on, he suddenly heard some kind of noise from the creek not far away.

Without any hesitation, Yan walked towards the place where the sound came from. When he got close, he found two people standing on the boulder by the stream. He first hid his figure in the bamboo shadow on one side, and then lifted He looked at the two people not far away, but at a glance, he froze in place.

It was a man and a woman, both dressed in the costumes of Tang Sect disciples. The man looked like a young man, sitting on the ground with his back against a stone wall, and the woman was twenty-eight years old, holding a machine crossbow, and was practicing sending and receiving hidden weapons against a few thick bamboo trees by the river. .

Originally, Yan was hidden in the bamboo shadows near the stream, so he was shocked and inevitably revealed some whereabouts, but the men and women by the river seemed to have not noticed him at all, just talking to themselves.

The young man from the Tang Sect slowly stood up from the ground, took off the bamboo leaf he held between his lips, and said to the girl by the stream, "I said... you have practiced for so long, why don't you stop and rest?" How about a while?"

The girl not far away stopped the movement of her hands and looked up at the bamboo in front of her. When she found that her strength was too weak to cause obvious damage to the green bamboo in one go, she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

But she didn't continue to practice, but wiped the sweat from her forehead, and walked up to the Tangmen youth who called her to rest.

Seeing her obediently walking over, the young man showed a smile on his handsome face that he didn't notice. He picked up the food box on the side and handed it to the girl, saying, "Here, here it is."

The girl seemed a little surprised. When she opened the food box, she found that there were several plates of exquisite cakes and a small bottle of bamboo leaf wine, all of which she liked to eat.

She looked up at the Tang Sect youth, a little puzzled, but also a little moved: "You prepared these things?"

The Tangmen youth gave her a look of "how is that possible", and said unhurriedly: "Elder Huaiyi ordered someone to send it over just now. After all, his grandson ran away from home and went to Yangzhou and refused to come back. His granddaughter is like Being touched by a ghost, the one who is desperate all day long only knows how to practice martial arts, it's no wonder that the elders don't worry when they are old."

The girl was stunned for a moment, but then she returned to normal, with a brisk smile on her face, she handed the food box to the young man, and said, "Let's eat together, this sweet cake is made by the nanny, it tastes very good .”

The young man from the Tang Sect was much taller than the young girl. The two of them stood talking together, and they were a little closer. He had to lower his head deliberately to see each other's face.

At this moment, the distance between him and the girl is not too close, but she is lowering her head to fiddle with the cakes, so he can only see the frost flower pearl hairpin on her bun, under the sunlight, the shimmer reflected just right Reflected in his eyes, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

Facing the girl's invitation, the young man from Tangmen didn't show any politeness to her. He picked up a piece of sweet cake and put it in his mouth. eat."

The girl swallowed a piece of snack, with a look of disapproval on her face, she looked around, and approached the young man cautiously, and said mysteriously: "What you said is wrong, who said that only the little girl's house I only like to eat desserts, I know a man, even though he is a man, he also likes sweets."

The young man who picked up another piece of sweet cake and put it in his mouth responded nonchalantly, "Oh, who is it?"

There was some inexplicable shyness on the girl's face, and she said softly: "It's Tang Ying, don't you know?"

The young man who was eating snacks was suddenly choked by the girl's words, and he coughed continuously, which also startled the girl next to him, so he quickly took out the bamboo leaf wine and poured it down for him.

The young man who managed to stop his cough took a big gulp of the bamboo leaf wine, and said with a strange expression: "How did you know that he likes sweets? Why don't I know?"

"Hey? Thanks to you being his younger brother, why don't you even know this."

The girl's eyes widened, and seeing that the young man was also staring back at her, she could only explain: "Just half a month ago, I begged my nanny to teach me to make desserts and sent them to Tang Ying as a thank you gift. He claimed that he doesn't like sweets." I put the plate of dim sum aside, but afterward I heard from the sweeping servant that he ate up the plate of dim sum in the end, so..."

The young man helplessly raised his forehead and said, "So you think that he actually likes sweets?"

The girl nodded and said, "Yes, I wonder why he obviously likes the plate of dim sum, but why he refuses to admit it to his face. Could it be that in your men's eyes, admitting that he likes dim sum is a shameful thing?"

"Ah……"

The youth of the Tang Sect seemed to have discovered something interesting, and suddenly laughed. He didn't stop laughing until the girl who laughed was bewildered, and leaned against the stone wall and said meaningfully: "Men like to eat Dim sum is not a shame, it’s just that there are very few men who are addicted to sweets. If he likes it in his heart but doesn’t say it on his face, then there are at least two possibilities. Not the kind he likes."

The girl was a little puzzled and said, "Which type does Tang Ying belong to? Does he really dislike sweets, or does he not like the plate I gave him?"

The young man leaned against the stone wall and said leisurely: "Neither, he is just naturally serious and too boring."

The girl glared at the young man with some depression, and said dissatisfiedly: "How can you say that about your brother!"

"I'm concerned about you, don't take kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs."

The young man who was leaning on the stone wall straightened up, rolled his eyes at the girl, and said, "Brother, I know better than you. He likes to admit death. No matter how close you are, he will always be with you." Keep at an appropriate distance, not far away, but will never let you get close, and whoever can get his permission to stand beside him, there will be no other person in this world except me."

The girl lowered her head slightly and fell into an abnormal silence. After a while, just when the young man thought the girl was crying sadly, the girl raised her head, her soft face was clean, neither crying nor crying. No feeling of loss or sadness.

She looked a little helpless, and laughed a little, and said: "I understand what you said... But sometimes I just can't help thinking that although you are the closest person to him, you can't be with him forever, right? So, what's the point if I try to fight for it?"

The young man from the Tang Sect looked at the girl in surprise, with a rather complicated look on his face, as if he couldn't understand the girl's insistence, but also seemed to be a little moved by the girl's intentions.

But no matter what he thought in his heart, he still had a leisurely look on his face, and the girl who was watching shook her head, as if she was quite helpless with his appearance.

The young man straightened his cuffs casually, took another sip of the bamboo leaf wine, looked up and saw the girl's rather familiar expression, his heart moved, as if he remembered something, and said vigilantly: "Little girl, I said you should You won't take care of me as a younger brother just because I'm Tang Ying's younger brother?"

The girl was taken aback, as if her mind had been punctured, she quickly waved her hand and said, "No, there is no such thing..." Then, she said a little embarrassedly: "It's just that you are his only younger brother after all, if that ...what's the matter, I can also take care of you with him..."

The young man glared and said, "You really think so in your heart...Little devil, your elder brother Yan is twice your age, how dare you treat me as your younger brother?"

The girl muttered, "It's not twice as much..."

The young man's ears are extraordinary, he could hear the girl's words clearly, then he flicked his forehead and said: "If it's not twice, it's close to twice, it doesn't matter if you're the same size as you or not, but how can you Treat me like a brother!"

The girl covered her forehead while hiding and shouted: "When you faced Brother Ying, you were very happy to be a younger brother. I think you also like being taken care of by your brother..."

The young man let out a cold snort, and stopped on the spot with his hands folded around his chest, giving the girl a short respite.

He seemed a little helpless and stared at the person in front of him, and then said: "I really don't know what is going on in your mind, seeing you like this, I would rather you go back to the past."

The girl calmed down and said with a serious look: "But I don't want to go back to the past. I was too naive to do anything. Not only could I not help Grandpa and Dad, but I would also cause trouble for them when they were in danger. I don't want this anymore."

The young man said nonchalantly: "The Tang Sect's men haven't died yet. You are my eldest lady of the Tang Sect. There is nothing wrong with living a carefree life. No matter what happens, the Tang Sect will always protect you. "

The girl shook her head and said, "But I want to use my own strength to protect the important people around me."

The girl looked serious, and the firmness in her eyes showed her determination.

It's a pity that after the young man glanced at her indifferently, he said very disrespectfully: "Everyone around you is better than you in martial arts, even the slightly weak Mr. Wujue can still beat ten in the competition among the disciples in the sect. , let alone Elder Huaiyi and the old lady, if you want to find a chance to protect them, it's hard!"

When the girl heard this, she immediately became angry. The temper she had restrained for a long time finally burst out. She picked up a plate of dim sum and threw it at the young man, "So what if you are not good at martial arts, Tang Yan, you wait for me." , I will make you my defeat one day!"

The young man called "Tang Yan" turned sideways, easily dodged the pastry thrown by the girl, and said with a tut, "Your accuracy in throwing dim sum is much better than your skill in throwing the universe. Yes, you have a bright future... "

"Tang Yan, stop for me...!"

The girl's exasperated voice echoed in the bamboo forest, and slowly disappeared into the distance with the gurgling water.

Yan emerged from the shadow of the bamboo, with an inexplicably complicated look on his face. At this moment, the setting sun had gradually sank, reflecting the sparkling water on the water, and the entire bamboo forest was emitting a faint golden light.

All of this is exactly the same as in Yan's memory, but things are different, he is no longer Tang Yan, and that person is no longer Tang Ying, the innocent girl in the bamboo forest in the past has become able to be independent now.

Three people, like three lines, started from the same point, but took three different paths.

Seeing the backs of the two going away, Yan did not rush to catch up. He had already discovered from just now that this illusion was probably constructed from the memories in the bottom of the heart. If you follow your heart, you will only sink deeper and deeper. Might as well stay where you are, or find a way out of the illusion.

Just as Yan was looking at the surrounding environment, trying to find a flaw, the scene of the sunset in front of him suddenly cracked out of thin air, a sharp blade pierced the void, and the illusion shattered in front of him, revealing the Mountains with dense jungle and gurgling water.

Yan was vigilant in his heart, almost at the moment when the illusion was dispelled, he felt a familiar murderous aura rushing towards his face, he immediately jumped back and left the spot, and at the same time threw the dagger in his right hand towards the direction of the murderous aura.

There was a sound of sword clashing, and the dagger thrown by the smoke was knocked to the ground. A young man slowly walked out from behind the tree with a short knife in his hand. It was Mo Yu who looked a little strange.

Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at Mo Yu in front of him, and found that he was in a very strange state at this time. Not only his eyes were dull, but his face also showed some pain. A few strands of messy black hair stuck to his face, and his body was even more so. Exuding a tyrannical aura, this familiar appearance made Yan feel bad.

With Mo Yu's appearance, he might have been stimulated by something in the illusion, causing the poisonous curse on his body to recur. Now the only person who can restrain Mo Yu, Wang Yifeng, is not present, only Yan is alone. He thinks he doesn't have that The ability to control the crazy Mo Yu.

Just when Yan was having a headache, a figure slowly approached from the fog in the dense forest.

It was a white-clothed man who seemed to be only [-] years old, holding a glimmering glazed lamp in his hand, his facial features were ordinary, but his temperament was quite gentle and refined, and his aura was a bit more than that of ordinary warriors. An indescribable sense of deterrence.

The man in white is accompanied by dots of fluorescent light in the dense forest, as if walking in the morning stars through ancient times. He looks very young, but the sense of vicissitudes between his brows blurs his age. The white clothes are stained with wind and frost, like an old man who has passed through a long time, and after walking through the world of mortals, he has become quiet in the ancient well, and finally came back alone.

This is a very strange person, and the timing and location of his appearance are also very wrong, especially his behavior of walking directly towards Mo Yu who is in a state of chaos, which makes Yan feel suspicious, but because he cares about Mo Yu, he dare not act rashly , only paying attention to this person's movements, thinking that if the other party acts out of line, he will be taken down first, and then find a way to take Mo Yu away.

On this side, Mo Yu half-kneeled on the ground because of the pain in his head. He stroked his forehead with one hand, and his whole face was full of struggle. Although his mind was confused, he was very sensitive to changes in the outside world. A strange aura came towards him, and he stood up almost instinctively, looking at the person with an unkind expression.

The man in white stopped a few steps away from Mo Yu, and looked up at the young man in front of him for a moment. His eyes were gentle and not piercing, but they made Mo Yu feel a little uncomfortable for no reason.

The man in white noticed Mo Yu's reaction, smiled helplessly at him, and said, "Young man, it's the first time we meet, my name is Qi."

It was rare for Mo Yu, who was in the state of the poisonous curse, to not make any excessive movements, but just looked at Qi with an unclear expression, as if he was sizing up something, with some doubts on his face, but he was very quiet.

Qi gently grabbed Mo Yu's hand hanging by his side, and at the same time waved his sleeve away from the dagger that pierced through the air from the direction of the smoke, and then rested his fingers on Mo Yu's pulse to make a detailed diagnosis.

Yan on the side saw all of this, and when he was connected with the name "Qi", he couldn't help but guess in his heart, put the remaining dagger back in his sleeve, and didn't try to stop it.

While Qi was taking Mo Yu's pulse, he sized up the young man in front of him. No matter how picky he was, he had to admit that he was an excellent young man, but it was a pity...

Qi sighed in his heart, his eyes darkened, and a slightly domineering force quickly penetrated into Mo Yu's body from his palm, forcibly suppressing the intertwined yin and yang internal forces on Mo Yu's body, and then he cut with his backhand. Breaking the back of Mo Yu's hand, drawing his blood to carve a bright red curse mark on the palm.

The curse seal showed the pattern of yin and yang gossip, with a faint red light, and after a moment of circulation in Mo Yu's palm, it was completely imprinted into Mo Yu's flesh and blood, and slowly lost its shape.
