Within Ten Meters, Fly In Situ

Xie Tingyun took one last look at the brightly lit hut, and through the misty moonlight, he seemed to be able to see her sleeping peacefully at the moment.

In the past, he was alone and had no worries, but now someone came to him across the mountains and seas, and even in the dark and dark world, he was able to touch the light.

It's all worth it.

Xie Tingyun turned around with hanging eyelids, and followed Chong Ming to the forest without looking back.

"Are you doing it yourself? Or..." Chong Ming hesitated to speak, a faint red light condensed on his fingertips.

Xie Tingyun answered: "Don't trouble your lord, I will do it myself."

There was no submissiveness in his words, the matter has come to this point, Chongming no longer cares about this little disrespect. With a cold scoff, he took a few steps back.

Xie Tingyun closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

He raised his right hand and gathered the spiritual power of his dantian in the palm of his hand, a ray of light shone into the dark eyes, no temperature, but a coldness.

The boy's eyes were full of determination, not even the slightest hesitation, which made Chongming, who originally wanted to get rid of him, feel a little bit of pity. If he is an enemy of Xie Tingyun, then his status in the future will definitely be affected; but if he is kind, he will be his most loyal lackey.

He pondered for a moment: "Have you thought about it? This spirit bone can suppress your evil soul. If you take it out, not only will you be like before, but your sea of ​​consciousness will also be gradually plundered by the evil soul. But if..."

In the middle of the conversation, Xie Tingyun suddenly waved his palm down, his movements were clean and not sloppy.

Shocked by his determination, Chong Ming didn't say another word.

His palms trembled due to exertion, the veins on the back of his hands were bulging, a blood vessel had burst, and deep red blood kept pouring out.

The newly born spiritual bone peeled off its flesh and blood, separated from the sea of ​​​​qi, and was forcibly pulled out by a burst of brute force.

Does it hurt?

Naturally it hurts.

Xie Tingyun clenched his teeth, and there was a creaking sound between the teeth.

The spiritual light gradually emerged, Xie Tingyun's heart became ruthless, and he pulled out the spiritual bone with all his strength.

His hair was already wet with sweat, he panted slightly and looked at the white light in his palm.

This thing is not like a bone, but more like a shapeless flower, and the pure aura it emits almost illuminates the jungle.

The moment Xie Tingyun took out the spirit bone, Chongming's eyes were stained with greed.

"Give me—!"

Chongming couldn't wait to go forward, never wanted Xie Tingyun to hide, and his slender five fingers pinched the ball of white light like cotton. The spirit bone is the most fragile thing after it leaves the body, and it will be completely destroyed with a little force.

"Xie Tingyun, what do you mean?" Chongming's cheeks trembled, his expression extremely angry.

Xie Tingyun raised his hand to wipe away the blood on his lips, the phoenix eyes raised on his face were sinister and a bit crazy: "Heh." He smiled coldly, "Here, yes."

"you…"

"Let your people evacuate from the wooden house." Xie Tingyun tightened his fingertips as he spoke, "After ensuring her safety, I will naturally hand over the spirit bone to you."

Chongming held back his anger: "You threatened me?"

"I'm just discussing with you." Xie Tingyun raised his chin, "You can agree or refuse. Similarly, I can destroy the spirit bone or give it to you."

Chongming glanced at the spirit bone, and said lightly: "It's okay, I lost this piece, and your little female cultivator."

Xie Tingyun was unmoved: "You have different talents, how can you ensure that her spirit bone can fuse with your body? I am different, mine is transformed from the eternal flower, which is the most suitable. I All I want is her safety."

Chongming didn't speak anymore, the two faced each other, after a long silence, Chongming raised his hand and summoned a magic talisman.

The talisman floated towards the outside of the forest, Xie Tingyun's eyes followed the movement of the talisman. After a while, the breath of the skeleton horse and other magic soldiers disappeared, and the wooden house returned to its usual peace.

"satisfied?"

Xie Tingyun rolled his Adam's apple lightly, slowly released his fingertips, and the ball of white light quickly fell into Chong Ming's palm.

For a hundred years, Chongming had been waiting for this moment every day, holding the spiritual bone carefully, his eyes filled with joy.

Chongming is full of urgency, he can't wait to return to Jiuyou Palace.

He first swallowed a heart-protecting pill that he carried all day, and then mastered the art of protecting the heart veins. Finally, he mobilized his breath and carefully pulled out the magic bone. Chongming's cultivation base is higher than Xie Tingyun's, and with the addition of magic to protect his body, it is not difficult for him to extract bones.

After the demon bone was stripped off, Chongming quickly put the spirit bone in his body.

Since he is a natural demon cultivator, and he has practiced for thousands of years, it may take some time to absorb the spiritual bone.

Chong Ming is not in a hurry, he has waited for hundreds of years to come here, not at this moment.

Looking at the ball of black air floating in front of him, he crushed it with disgust. From then on, he can go to the Qingyun Realm and become a real climber.

As if seeing the future prosperity, Chongming couldn't help laughing out loud.

Xie Tingyun held his broken heart vein and looked at him quietly, smiling, his viscera were on fire, and the evil shadow faintly showed signs of breaking through the ground.

He shook his head to keep himself awake, and staggered to return to Yun Wan's side, but he never thought that he would fall heavily to the ground as soon as he took a step.

He smiled again, and looked at him again: "This king thinks that you are affectionate and righteous, so I will save your life. But this king advises you, while you are a little sensible now, you'd better find a place where no one is around." He He said condescendingly, "You will soon become a puppet controlled by evil spirits."

As he spoke, his eyes fluttered towards his feet.

Xie Tingyun has two shadows. Now, one of the shadows has been gnawed by the second evil shadow, and it is estimated that it will not be long... the evil soul will replace him.

Chongming ignored it, and left with a flick of his sleeves, he was the only one left in the forest in an instant.

Xie Tingyun sat alone in the darkness, his eyes stared blankly at the place where Yun Wan was.

There are messy voices in my head, many of which are hints from evil spirits, as well as the curses of others in the past.

The last thing I heard was the sentence——

"I will only listen to you from now on."

Xie Tingyun closed his eyes, the lone figure had to crash into the night...

**

Yun Wan felt that she had slept for a long time.

When he woke up again, the bonfire had been burned out, the hut was empty, and Xie Tingyun was nowhere to be seen.

She glanced at the blanket on her body, then at Wu Trace's side, fell silent for a moment, got up and walked outside.

There is still a faint demonic aura in the house, the aura is similar to that of Chongming and others, and looking at the footprints on the ground that have not yet dispersed, it is unnecessary to think that Chongming has come to settle accounts with her!

So... Xie Tingyun was probably taken away by them.

Yun Wan's face changed suddenly, and she immediately ran towards the direction of Jiuyou Hall.

Thinking the speed was slow, she ordered Xuan Ling to turn into a bird and spread her wings to rush to the sky.

The flying bird hovered above the cloud tops, and the thick miasma blocked her vision, making it impossible for her to see anything clearly.

As he was flying, the voice of Xuanling sounded in his mind——

[I sense the breath of the spirit bone. ]

Yun Wan was startled: [Thank you for listening to Yun? ]

[Um. ] Xuanling said, [at Xiaowu Peak not far from Jiuyou Spring Hall. ]

They were not far away from Jiuyou Spring, and Yun Wan couldn't help clasping her fingers: "Where is Xie Tingyun? Can you feel Xie Tingyun's breath?"

[It's a little far away, hard to perceive. ]

Yun Wan continued to ask: "Then what happened last night, did you notice it?"

Xuan Ling: [The breath of the demon world also affected me, I only know that Xie Tingyun left with Chongming. ] Afraid that Yun Wan would be in a hurry, she hurriedly added, [But you don't have to worry, although he is far away, I know he is still alive. ]

live...

Yun Wan breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, as long as he was alive.

[So we go straight to Little Wufeng or? ]

Yun Wan said without hesitation, "Little Wufeng."

Little Wufeng is closer to her, and it won't take long to go around. If Xie Tingyun is there, it will save the time to go to Jiuyou Palace.

Asuka broke through the clouds and carried Yunwan straight down to Xiaowu Peak.

This is the smallest mountain peak close to Jiuyou Temple. The mountain is always foggy and rainy, so it is called Xiaowu Peak.

Yun Wan put away the Xuan Ling and patiently searched around inside.

With the mist covering her eyes, she couldn't see anything clearly, so Yun Wan had no choice but to click on a guiding paper crane, let it lead the way, and continue to go deeper inside.

"Thank you, Tingyun!"

Yun Wan yelled, but the only response was an echo.

"Not here."

She was disappointed and gave up, and when she was about to leave, Xuan Ling suddenly said—

[The spirit bone is inside. ]

"?"

Xuan Ling was a little anxious: [The direction to the southeast is definitely Xie Tingyun's spirit bone. ]

After hearing this, Yun Wan no longer hesitated, and went straight to the place Xuan Ling suggested.

Through a cloud forest, she found a few pieces of torn clothes and...blood clots among the disorderly weeds?

Yun Wan's heart skipped a beat, and her expression changed instantly.

Xuanling comforted: [Don't worry, it wasn't Xie Tingyun who died. ]

Yun Wan calmed down again, carefully avoiding the pile of filth, and continued inward.

A shallow white light expelled the white mist and illuminated in front of his eyes. With a wave of Yun Wan's palm, the white light moved to his side at a slow speed.

She stared at the white light.

That's right, it is indeed a spirit bone.

Xie Tingyun's spirit bones.

Yun Wan put away the hard-won spiritual bones, and once again lost herself in thought as she stared at the mess on the ground.

But what about Xie Tingyun?

She searched the pile with her naked eyes, and saw a black sign mixed in the grass. After hesitating for a moment, Yun Wan picked up the thing.

The badge is exquisitely made.

Made of rare magic keel and carved with familiar patterns, this is…

[Heavy Ming. ]

Xuan Ling answered instead.

She continued: [Chongming took Xie Tingyun's bones for his own use, but...]

Yun Wan calmly answered: [His cultivation can't control Xie Tingyun's soul bone. ]

The newly formed spiritual bone was mainly used to suppress the ghost twister's physique, and it had long been infiltrated with evil spirits, even if it was heavy, it would be unbearable. This is something that does not belong to him, even if he takes it by force, he will hurt himself.

Judging from the traces on the ground, he must have exploded and died shortly after the rebirth.

That being the case, then Xie Tingyun is definitely not in Jiuyou Palace, and it is very likely that he escaped alone.

Yun Wan drooped her eyelashes in thought for a moment, then turned her head away from Xiaowu Peak.

Xuan Ling asked her: [Should I recall Su Jing and leave, or wait a little longer? ]

"Let's find Xie Tingyun first."

After the task was completed, she didn't need to stay any longer.

Even so, Yun Wan still wanted to find Xie Tingyun, at least to see that he was well before leaving with peace of mind.

Xuan Ling didn't persuade her, and flew out of Xiaowu Peak with Yun Wan.

Yun Wan wanted to find Xie Tingyun, but in such a big demon world, how could he find it just by looking for it.

She kept searching all the way, and asked people again and again from time to time. After seven days in a row, she finally found a trace of information near Wanku Mausoleum.

"You mean that very handsome young man?" The old man who spoke looked like a nearby hunter, and he looked suspiciously at Yunwan, "Yes, I have seen him before, but what is your relationship with him?"

Yun Wan was quite patient: "I am his sister. If you have seen him, can you tell me where he is?"

Orion rolled his eyes back and forth, pointed to the mountain behind and said, "Here, Wankuling. He went there."

Wankuling?

Yun Wan was taken aback by the very familiar place name. She suddenly remembered that she once broke into his sea of ​​consciousness. In that wandering, she saw his shadow walking alone in the darkness, maybe Xie Tingyun was there! What she saw then was his now!

Yun Wan was overjoyed, her dim eyes immediately turned bright.

"Thank you, old man, for letting me know."

After expressing her thanks in a hurry, Yun Wan turned and ran towards Wan Ku Mausoleum.

Wanku Mausoleum is called a "burial place" by demon cultivators, and anyone who approaches it will be swallowed by the "grave". The land is vast and boundless, and since ancient times, no one has successfully passed through the Wanku Mausoleum.

Looking at Yun Wan's slender figure going away, Orion smacked his lips, a bit of pride in watching the show faintly visible on his face.

In an instant, Yun Wan broke into Wanku Mausoleum.

This place is exactly similar to Xie Tingyun's memory, the trees are towering into the sky, the land is as soft as human skin, the feeling of adsorption makes Yun Wan's hair stand on end.

The place is gloomy, with rosy lights and shadows floating in the air. Occasionally, there are beasts whining from the forest. There is no one, but she can always hear strange breathing sounds, very close, as if right next to her ears. .

Yun Wan shrank her neck and walked inside pretending to be calm, "Thank you for listening to Yun!"

"..."

"Xie Tingyun, if you're here, just squeak."

"squeak."

? ?

Yun Wan stopped in her footsteps, followed the direction of the sound, and then there was another sound—

"squeak."

The leaves swayed, and the sound of footsteps sounded extraordinarily heavy.

No, not quite right.

She backed away slowly, and in the next moment, a huge monster appeared in front of her eyes.

The shape of the monster was terrifying, like a human face, with exposed fangs covered with spikes, even Yun Wan almost pouted in fright when she saw such a thing.

What's weird is that the creature just took a glance at her and then left by itself, leaving Yunwan in a daze where he was.

What do you mean?

Dislike her for lack of meat and don't want to eat?

[You have tears of the phoenix, the life here will not hurt you. ]

After being reminded by Xuanling, Yun Wan remembered that she had received the blessing of Phoenix.

She relaxed and concentrated on searching for Xie Tingyun in the forest.

During the process, she encountered all kinds of strange and varied creatures. Although they were all horrifying, none of them harmed her. After two days of continuous searching, Yunwan finally got tired and left Wankuling.

It was Mao time when she came in, and it was Shen time two days later when she went out.

Coincidentally, the Orion who brought him in was still hunting at the original spot, Yun Wan's eyes lit up, and she ran over immediately, "Old man!"

Her hearty cry made the old man tremble.

When he saw her appearing in front of him intact, his shock turned into panic, and then from panic to astonishment.

"You, did you come out of Wankuling?" The old man asked in a trembling voice in disbelief.

Yun Wan nodded: "Yes." She said, "I searched inside for two days, but I didn't find my brother."

The old man froze in place.

He looked at Yun Wanhao for a while, the girl was born ordinary, harmless to humans and animals, she didn't look like... she didn't look like a supernatural being who could come out of the burial place alive, if not, she was lying.

Orion leans towards the latter.

Yun Wan didn't notice the difference, she took out a few precious stones from her pocket and threw them over, "If my younger brother comes, you let him go to Jiuyou Spring and tell him I'll wait for you at the old place." Yun Wan's eyelashes flickered slightly , "I just wait for him for a day, if he doesn't come...then we can only meet in the future."

After finishing the instructions, Yun Wan summoned Xuan Ling to fly back to Jiuyou Spring.

She came to the small wooden house where the two met for the first time. Compared with the beginning, this wooden house looked much deserted. Thinking that she was leaving soon, and Xie Tingyun might stay here for a while, she rearranged the wooden house, and then sat in front of the door and waited quietly.

The wilderness is silent.

She watched the wind blow, the grass move, the red mist rose, and she rose day and night, but she looked around, but she couldn't see the figure in her memory.

Yunwan folded her arms around her knees, slowly put her chin on her arms, and stared at the way she came here for a while, and after confirming that Xie Tingyun would not come back, she sighed, got up and went back to the room.

She left the storage bag under the haystack, thought for a while, and wrote a few words on the wall with a pen.

reads—

[May you be happy every year and have no worries in the future. ]

Pen to paper, late at night.

Maybe he's having a hard time right now.

But a hundred years later, he is the belief that the common people need, a piece of jade on Cangwu Mountain, and a proud moon that can compare to the morning sun.

Yun Wan believed that he would be fine.

One day, he will set foot on the Qingyunxiao, ascend the Ten Thousand Immortals, and become unattainable among the people.

Now…

She wants to go back to the person she loves.

Yun Wan summoned the retrospective mirror, and the clear water mirror floated in front of her eyes, reflecting her figure and face.

She glanced at the darkness for the last time, and said silently: [Goodbye, Xie Tingyun. ]

Immediately, he turned around and walked in without looking back.

When the water mirror dissipates, the backtracking ends here.
