On the cliff, it is obviously not a suitable place to explore the evil spirit of Zhu Yin.
The fighting above was still going on, and Chu Qingxiao didn't know how long Song Guicheng and others could hold on. He had to cherish the time everyone bought for him.
He took a deep breath and suppressed the confusion and slight uneasiness in his heart.
At that point move down again toward the bottom of the pit.
…
The moment his feet landed on the ground, Chu Qingxiao's hanging heart became much more at ease, and the rest of the people also descended to the bottom of the pit one after another.
The group of five people looked at the scene in the pit, and they were all secretly frightened.
The turbulent black energy was rolling, blocking everyone's vision, but it was still visible. The black energy hit the Taoist temple in front of them again and again, but was forced back by the sword intent emanating from the sharp swords inserted around the Taoist temple.
This kind of battle has been going on for an unknown period of time, and some long swords have been mostly corroded. However, when the black energy hits, the rusty swords still tremble with effort, stimulating the remaining sword power.
Just like the exhausted soldiers on the battlefield, they still bravely waved their swords towards the attacking enemy.
I have never felt it when I looked down from above, but now that I am in it, the feeling of sadness that hits my face is very real.
"We have to hurry up. Commander Song and the others don't know how long they can hold on!" Chu Qingxiao said in a deep voice, looking at the dilapidated Taoist temple wrapped in black energy.
Everyone nodded after hearing this. Although they already had doubts about Song Guicheng's position, at this juncture, they could only believe in each other.
After all, no matter how you look at it, Zhu Yin, headed by Zhu Yuan, is their biggest trouble right now.
Everyone walked towards the direction of the Taoist temple, and the billowing black air became more intense the closer they got to the Taoist temple.
Chu Zhaozhao's face was ugly, and it was obvious that he could not withstand such a powerful Zhuyin evil spirit, and every step he took was difficult.
Just as she was panting, a hand suddenly stretched out and pulled her in.
Chu Zhaozhao's heart trembled, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that the owner of that hand was none other than Chu Qingxiao.
"Miss Chu, these black energies seem to be avoiding me. If you rely on me, you should be able to relieve it a lot." Chu Qingxiao said at this time. Apparently he also noticed something strange about Chu Zhaozhao, and he took action at this time.
At this moment, Chu Zhaozhao's body was almost touching Chu Qingxiao's body. Such a close distance made Chu Zhaozhao's cheeks turn red. She raised her head and glanced at the young man in front of her. His clean profile looked inexplicably good-looking at this moment.
Thinking about how she had risked her life to help him on the cliff just now, her heartbeat couldn't help but beat a little faster.
But this charming atmosphere did not last long. Out of the corner of his eye, Chu Zhaozhao caught a glimpse of Chu Yueshan, Sun Kuan and Wang Che following behind him.
They were not affected by the surging black energy at all, their steps were steady and their speed was fairly brisk.
Chu Zhaozhao's heart sank, and the guilt that had been bothering her surged into her heart again.
"Qingxiao..."
"Have you ever thought about what you will do after this incident is over?" Although it was a bit inappropriate, she couldn't help but ask.
Chu Qingxiao was also stunned when he heard this. He stretched out one hand, put it on Chu Zhaozhao's waist, supported him, and said while walking: "In the past, I always felt that my father had no ambitions and just wanted to stay here.
In the small city of Wuling, if you have wine and meat to eat every day, you will be satisfied."
"I just thought, I must go out and see in the future. If I can learn martial arts, I can become a chivalrous and righteous hero. If I can study, I can become a high official who can govern the world."
"But now, I don't think so anymore."
"Those big things are left to the big shots."
"I don't have that ability. I just want to guard my one-third of an acre of land and be with my father and my uncle..."
"If I can get through this incident safely, I will stay in Wuling City, take over my father's job, save money, and buy him a big yard. Oh, by the way! I will also marry my uncle a wife!"
"Plant a few more peach trees in the yard. In the spring, peach blossoms will bloom all over the yard, and the fruit will be fragrant. Then I will learn to make some peach blossom stuffing. If you are free, you can come back with Nian Shuang. I will treat you to a drink.
If I don’t have time, I can also ask someone to send some over..."
The young man said this with a bright smile on his face, as if he had already seen the plain but beautiful future he described.
But the more he acted like this, the more guilt Chu Zhaozhao felt in his heart.
"Then... what if..."
"I mean what if..."
"Do you have to leave Wuling City? You..."
"You can actually think about it, the world outside is very big, and there are many scenery you have never seen."
"And there is also my junior uncle. She is now the peak master of Qingque Peak and the future headmaster of Tianxuan Mountain. She also misses you very much. If you go to find her, you will be able to live your whole life without saying anything else.
Beautiful clothes and fine food..." Chu Zhaozhao lowered his head and said this.
When Chu Qingxiao heard this, he glanced at Chu Zhaozhao strangely. He blinked and joked: "Isn't Miss Chu reluctant to part with me?"
In the past, Chu Zhaozhao would have become furious after hearing this ridicule, and would have cursed Chu Qingxiao, but at this moment, Chu Zhaozhao obviously no longer had such thoughts.
She buried her head lower, not knowing how to respond.
Chu Zhaozhao was stunned, raised his head, and looked forward, only to see that everyone had unknowingly reached the outskirts of the Taoist temple. In front of them was a long sword inserted upside down into the ground.
Chu Yueshan and the other three people behind him also walked up. Seeing the intimate look of Chu Qingxiao and Chu Zhaozhao leaning against each other, Chu Yueshan almost laughed from ear to ear.
Chu Zhaozhao also realized something was wrong and quickly stood up straight.
But this place was already the center of the pit, and the evil spirit was surging so fiercely that she didn't dare to go too far, so she could only stand next to Chu Qingxiao, shoulder to shoulder.
Chu Qingxiao didn't want to think too much. He looked at the Taoist temple in front of him.
Half of the Taoist temple had collapsed, and the remaining half looked dilapidated. He looked at it repeatedly for a long time, but he did not find any trace of human beings.
"Where are there any Taoist priests here?" Sun Kuan also approached the Taoist temple, looked at it carefully for a while, and murmured in confusion.
Chu Qingxiao also frowned, but his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse. Among the rows of dead peach trees in front of the Taoist temple, there was actually a peach tree with new branches growing on the top. That little bit of green was particularly eye-catching in this dilapidated scene.
He wasn't sure what the peach tree represented, but apparently it was the only clue at the moment.
"Go there!" He pointed to that place and said to everyone.
Everyone was about to take steps after hearing this.
But suddenly there was a blur in front of them, and a figure seemed to appear out of thin air and stopped in front of everyone.
The man was dressed in red clothes, handsome and fair-skinned. He was clearly Zhu Yin’s witch Zhu Yuan!
"Qingxiao, there's no need to be so anxious, right?" Zhu Yuan looked at Chu Qingxiao and said in a calm tone.
And as he said this, a figure covered in black energy suddenly jumped down from the underground palace.
boom!
There was a muffled sound, and when the black shadow fell to the ground, the huge impact made the ground beneath everyone's feet tremble.
But the distance of ten feet high was like walking on flat ground for the figure wrapped in black energy. His body landed steadily, and then a figure was thrown out of his hand and rolled on the ground.
Stop in front of everyone.
Astonishingly, it was the leader of the Xizhou Sword Armor—Song Guicheng.
At this moment, Song Guicheng's clothes were torn, the long sword in his hand was broken, and his exposed upper body was covered with shocking wounds. His whole body was dripping with blood, and he looked very embarrassed.
"Commander Song!" Everyone was shocked when they saw the other party's appearance.
At the same time, several muffled sounds were heard behind them.
They looked back and saw that the ferocious-looking Yongye Divine Guards also jumped down from the underground palace at this time, and most of them were carrying one or two figures in their hands. It was Cao Cao who had not had time to catch up with everyone just now.
Shu Gong and his party.
"Dad!" Wang Che's expression suddenly changed, and at a glance he saw the injured Wang Dagui who was being listened to by a divine guard.
He was so anxious that he almost couldn't help but was about to step forward, but was held back by Chu Zhaozhao at the side.
At this moment, two rays of black energy condensed in front of the Yongye Divine Guard, and the figures of the county magistrate Zhou Hengqiu and the county magistrate appeared. The expressions on their faces were indifferent, as if they did not recognize everyone else.
The fairy stretched out his hand and gestured to the divine guard behind him.
The divine guards threw out Cao Shugong, Wang Dagui and others they were holding, and everyone fell in front of Chu Qingxiao and others. They all looked very embarrassed and their breath was extremely weak. It was obvious that they had been exhausted in the battle just now.
Suffered quite a lot of injuries.
Only Mr. Luo looked embarrassed, but his clothes were intact.
He was also the only one among the people who could still stand up at this moment. He got up from the ground and looked up at the fairy with a complicated expression. He wanted to say something, but before he spoke, he heard the other party say: "Taian."
"You will understand me soon. I am doing this all for you..."
Mr. Luo shook his head: "I don't understand..."
"Xianling, you are not such a person. Zhuyin is an evil god. They..."
"Zhu Yin's evil is only against his enemies, but the Fairy Girl is now my clansman Zhu Yin, how can Zhu Yin criticize her harshly?" Before Mr. Luo finished speaking, Master Wu Zhu suddenly interrupted him.
He stepped up to the crowd, glanced at them, and finally landed on Mr. Luo.
"These days, I have been studying the history of your humanity and the great works of your ancestors."
"Your sages have put forward many interesting insights in my opinion, about the world, individuals, and our country."
"One of the sentences that touched me very much is: The king is more important than the people."
"Sir, he is the most knowledgeable person in Wuling City. What do you think of this statement?"
Mr. Luo frowned. He looked at Wu Zhu in front of him and said in a deep voice: "In matters related to the country, the people are the water and the king is the boat. Water can carry the boat or capsize it."
"Therefore, as a king, you should regard the people as your most valuable, and the people will support you. On the contrary, if the king is tyrannical and unpredictable, someone will rise up, and the country will be in danger!"
"Well said!" Zhu Yuan smiled and applauded Mr. Luo's words: "The king is a benevolent king, and the people need to support him. But is your king in Dayu now a benevolent king?"
"How long have you been trapped here? Have you ever seen a court reinforcement coming to rescue you? Since the court ignores you, why should you be loyal to it? What's wrong with abandoning the dark side and turning to the bright side like a fairy girl?"
"Army dispatch is not something that happens overnight. The Royal Court's reinforcements may not be deployed in time, but this does not mean that the Royal Court will ignore us, and there is no need for you to be alarmist here!" Mr. Luo said with a gloomy face.
"One day and one night?" But after hearing this, Zhu Yuan felt as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, and he burst out laughing.
The slightly crazy laughter made everyone present feel a little scared.
After a while, he finally stopped speaking, and then looked across the crowd to Chu Zhaozhao, who was standing behind Chu Qingxiao.
