The afterglow of dusk fell on Qi Yao's body, giving her pale face a touch of beauty. But her tone was extremely low, and there was an indescribable emotion that was so complicated that people couldn't distinguish it. The gazes of both people were
Looking ahead unconsciously, there is a trampled path ahead, winding to an unknown direction.
Gu Shuo didn't know how to answer the other party's words. He and Qi Yao were not familiar with each other, and the other party was a woman, a female elder. After a moment of silence, Gu Shuo remembered Drunken Sword Immortal:
"Where is Senior Drunken Sword Immortal?"
"He... was taken back for treatment."
"and you?"
Qi Yao's body suddenly tilted and she leaned on Gu Shuo's shoulder. This shocked Gu Shuo. When he looked down, he saw Qi Yao's mouth was bleeding gurglingly and she had already passed out.
"Senior, senior, senior Qi Yao..." Gu Shuo called out twice, but Qi Yao couldn't open his eyes and just hummed twice.
Gu Shuo hurriedly stretched out a hand and placed it on Qi Yao's wrist. His brows gradually furrowed, and finally he relaxed a little.
Qi Yao's injuries were very serious. He should have been injured while fighting with those nearly 40-meter-long bamboo insects. But fortunately, he was not bitten by the bamboo insects, so he was not poisoned.
The spiritual power has no tendency to dissipate.
This is the reason why Gu Shuo relaxed. As for internal injuries, Gu Shuo still has a way. After all, the opponent is only a Nascent Soul. The healing pill he obtained from the White Bone Sect can treat Nascent Soul monks. From the storage ring
He took out a healing pill, pried open Qi Yao's lips, and stuffed the pill into her mouth. The pill melted in her mouth and went down her throat.
In about half a quarter of an hour, Qi Yao woke up from coma under the effect of the elixir, then sat upright and began to perform exercises to heal her injuries. Gu Shuo sat aside to protect her.
His heart was full of vigilance. He had not encountered any danger these days, which made him relax a lot. Now seeing Qi Yao's injury, he became vigilant. A great monk in the late Yuanying stage was...
After fighting like this, I, a little golden elixir, cannot be too careful on Deadwood Island.
At this time, Gu Shuo also guessed Qi Yao's behavior. The reason why Qi Yao did not return to Tianmeng with Zui Jianxian was because of a knot in his heart.
Xu Qingmeng’s heart knot!
She doesn't love Xu Qingmeng, she loves Drunk Sword Immortal. But Xu Qingmeng lured away the Bamboo Insect in order to save her. It would be fine if Xu Qingmeng died. But he didn't die. This has become a knot in her heart, I guess.
It has also become a knot in the heart of Drunken Sword Immortal. If this knot is not resolved, the two of them may have inner demons, which will make it difficult for them to make any progress in their cultivation in the future, or even lead them to obscurity.
Therefore, Qi Yao still went deep into Deadwood Island, hoping to find Xu Qingmeng and settle the matter. As for what this settlement would look like...
Qi Yao dies, or Xu Qingmeng dies, or both die, or neither...
she does not know.
You can only take one step at a time.
Half an hour later, Qi Yao ended her practice, looked at Gu Shuo and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome!"
"Longmen Swordsman, haha...how did you get such a name?"
Gu Shuo said calmly: "How could I have chosen it? It's just that the Jianghu comrades gave me this name out of love."
"Kekeke..."
Qi Yao couldn't help but laugh out loud again, and it was the kind of person who couldn't help but laugh. He even clenched his fist and hammered the ground twice. It took him a long time to hold back his laughter, but when he looked up and saw Gu Shuo's dark face, he couldn't help it.
He laughed.
After a while, Qi Yao held back her laughter again, but there was a hint of emotion in her eyes:
“I haven’t laughed so freely in a long time!”
"Is it a joke that I was born just for you?" Gu Shuo's face was dark and he thought to himself, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. He was afraid that this woman would go crazy. He really couldn't beat her.
"In any case, I have to meet Senior Brother Xu, and I don't know what the outcome will be. At the very least, I may die, but I can still repay Senior Brother Xu's favor."
At this point, there was a hint of disinterest in her tone: "The three of us have been entangled for so many years, and now that Senior Brother Xu is like this, I guess there will be no results between Bu Huan and me. Gu Shuo, don't you think so?"
Gu Shuo thought for a while, and finally nodded: "I don't know much about what happened between you, but guessing that Xu Qingmeng is the key. And now Xu Qingmeng's appearance is completely unexplainable."
Seeing Gu Shuo say this, Qi Yao smiled, but the smile was full of bitterness.
"Ask what love is in this world, and teach you how to make love between life and death. We fly together from all over the world, and the old wings have been exposed to the cold and heat several times. After a hundred years, I am tired of pursuing it."
Gu Shuo was stunned: "Are you...going to give up?"
"So what if I don't give up? You just said that Senior Brother Xu has no solution. If I die, please take care of Bu Huan more."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Yao's figure rose into the sky, tapped the leaves with her toes, and then disappeared without a trace.
Gu Shuo sat under the tree in a daze for three breaths, then exhaled a heavy breath and stood up.
No matter how involved these three people are, it has nothing to do with you, right?
And even if I wanted to, I couldn't.
Go and persuade Drunken Sword Immortal to let go. Can Drunken Sword Immortal let go?
Are you worthy of persuading yourself?
Let's go find Dry Cicada.
Gu Shuo randomly chose a direction and rushed away.
Three days later.
He found that he was lost. He tried many times but could not get out of the forest. He stopped and looked around. Although he did not understand the formation, he knew that he was trapped in it. He just didn't know this.
Is the formation arranged artificially or generated naturally?
He frowned slightly, as if he heard something. He listened carefully and raised his eyebrows, as if he heard the faint sound of cicadas.
He walked in the direction of the sound of cicadas, this time using the sound as his direction, and he walked straight in that direction. When he encountered a big tree, he did not go around it, but cut it off with his sword and went straight forward.
Finally, his eyes widened, and he walked out of the forest. In front of him was the mouth of a valley. The sound of cicadas chirping had become very loud at this time, coming from the mouth of the valley.
Gu Shuo stepped into the entrance of the valley and then stopped. Goosebumps appeared all over his body.
The valley is very big and there are many trees in it. But there are no trees in sight, because the trees are covered with cicadas, as if they have put a layer of clothes on the ancient trees.
In fact, if these cicadas don't scream and just lie there quietly, Gu Shuo will most likely not notice these cicadas. Because these cicadas are yellow and green, just like tree bark, they are not visible at all. It's just that
Because now they are chirping, and during the chirping process, the body will vibrate. Countless cicadas chirp and vibrate together, as if each tree is alive and squirming, making people's scalp numb.
Two questions arose in Gu Shuo's mind.
The first question is, are these cicadas?
According to Qi Yao's description, shouldn't the cicada be yellow?
But the colors of the cicadas in front of me are yellow and green.
Is this a dry cicada?
In fact, regardless of whether it is a cicada or not, Gu Shuo doesn't mind catching some and will study it when he goes back.
but……
There were so many cicadas in front of him, and each cicada was the size of an adult's fist. Gu Shuo felt that if he was swarmed by these cicadas, he would soon be chewed down to nothing but a pile of bones.
He stared into the valley. There were too many trees and he couldn't see the end. He looked back and finally decided to risk entering the valley, because there was the formation behind him. If he retreated and entered the formation again, he would not be able to get out.
. Even if I came out again, I would still listen to the chirping of cicadas, so the place I came out must still be here.
Therefore, his only way out is here, through this valley, maybe the end of the valley is the way out. Or maybe this is not a valley at all, but a canyon.
Taking another look at the cicadas in the valley, he decided not to provoke them. As long as he could pass safely, he would be thankful.
Always make some preparations.
He picked out a high-grade magic robe from the storage ring and put it on, and wore several layers of it. The boots of the top-grade magic weapon, the gloves of the top-grade magic weapon, and the helmet of the top-grade magic weapon. In other words, there was no magic weapon such as a hood, so the ancient
Except for one face that cannot be protected, the rest of Shuo's body is tightly protected.
Then, holding a long sword, he quietly sneaked into the valley.
"Ming Ming Ming..."
The chirping of cicadas in the valley came and went, and together they were very loud. And the deeper you went, the more cicadas there were, and the louder the sound. Gu Shuo felt as if he was being held upside down in a big bell, and there were people outside constantly.
The ground hit the big clock, making him feel a little irritable.
He walked very slowly, for fear that if he walked too fast, he would bring out a gust of wind and startle the cicadas. You must know that the trees in this valley are relatively dense, and the tree trunks are covered with cicadas. Gu Shuo kept picking up from two trees.
Walking between two big trees, my body was almost pressed against the cicadas.
It can be said that I walked with trepidation, as if walking on thin ice.
After walking for half an hour, this valley or canyon was too deep, and Gu Shuo still couldn't see the end.
Suddenly, Gu Shuo's expression changed, and he suddenly turned his head. He saw the sound of cicadas chirping loudly, then rising into the sky like a green and yellow smoke, and then swooping down. There were countless cicadas. Then there was a sound
The sound of swords, shouts, and the roar of Taoism.
About two thousand meters away from Gushuo, a fierce battle broke out.
Gu Shuo couldn't help but cursed in a low voice. Someone must have entered the valley again and disturbed the cicadas. Then Gu Shuo found even more helplessly that all the cicadas in the valley were alarmed. They flew from far to near, layer by layer.
It rises like layers of smoke.
Soon, the flying cicadas spread around Gu Shuo layer by layer.
When Gu Shuo started to fly from the cicadas in the distance, he stopped, motionless, and collected his breath. He hoped that these cicadas would not find him and would rush towards the monks who were discovered. In this way, when he was around
All the cicadas will fly away, and you can escape deep into the valley.
but……
Reality is much crueler than thought.
The cicadas around Gu Shuo noticed him and rushed towards Gu Shuo. Gu Shuo could clearly see their mouthparts, layer by layer, densely packed.
Hee hee hee…
A series of wind blades were generated around Gu Shuo's body, circling around Gu Shuo's body, crushing the cicadas that rushed towards them one by one. When Gu Shuo's eyes moved, these cicadas had already been alarmed anyway. If he didn't catch some, that would be wrong.
loss?
These minced cicadas definitely won't work, he needs whole cicadas.
He sacrificed the soul-catching bell.
As soon as the Soul Seizing Bell was launched, it became as big as a bell in the air.
when……
Wow…
Countless cicadas fell from the sky like rain, and there was nothing around Gu Shuo. He stretched out his hand to take a picture, and he took the picture of the cicadas on the ground in front of him, gathered them into a big ball, and then put them into a storage box.
In the bag of things. At the same time, his spiritual consciousness also spread to the distance. Having already given birth to the sea lotus, his spiritual consciousness quickly spread to two thousand meters away, and he saw the five people fighting.
It was a small team, with a total of five people, three men and two women.
Then he frowned. He knew one of the women, Jian Yingying. But he didn't know the other four monks. One of the four monks was Nascent Soul, and the other three were probably also born with Sea of Knowledge Lotus, even if
No, it should be in the later stages of liquidation.
I don’t know him, but with this kind of cultivation, he looks like an old disciple at first glance.
But why does Jian Yingying stay with these old disciples?
It should be his classmate, right?
Taiqing Sect is one of the four major sects. It is not surprising that there are old disciples of Taiqing Sect in Tianmeng.
This is the benefit of large sects.
Gu Shuo couldn't help but feel envious. While ringing the Soul Seizing Bell again to collect the cicada's body, he was about to take back his spiritual consciousness. Since Jian Yingying had teammates, she didn't have to worry about it.
However, his expression suddenly changed, and his spiritual consciousness saw those old disciples beginning to retreat out of the valley. But they did not take Jian Yingying with them.
In fact, the four monks took no one with them, and each of them escaped out of the valley relying on their own abilities. But with their cultivation, they were not far from the entrance of the valley at this time, so they were still able to escape.
But Jian Yingying was just a virtual elixir, and she was already stretched thin under the dense attack of cicadas. She really couldn't escape from the valley with her own strength.
"Senior brother..." Jian Yingying started to panic.
But the four monks seemed to have not heard Jian Yingying's cry for help and rushed out of the valley crazily.
Gu Shuo sighed. He also saw that the four monks did not have magic weapons, and they did not have his soul-catching bell, which was very capable of restraining cicadas. It was impossible to persist in this valley for a long time.
Having Jian Yingying as a dragster really increases the risk.
But he still felt unhappy about leaving Jian Yingying behind.
What's more, he promised Jian Shanhong that he would take care of Jian Yingying when he was able.
He kept ringing the soul-catching bell and rushed towards Jian Yingying's direction.
He was already very fast, but when he saw Jian Yingying, there were already three cicadas on Jian Yingying's body, but she had no time to swat them because her hands had to fight against more cicadas that were attacking, and her steps were already staggering.
, her body was already shaking, and another cicada pounced on her. Her body trembled, and more cicadas took the opportunity to pass through the gaps in the sword curtain and pounce towards her.
