Before the tip of the knife touched his heart, he retracted it in time.
Jiang Ningyue twirled her hair in front of her forehead, slowly lowered her body, touched the blood on the wound with her delicate red lips, and slowly sucked it.
Xuan Ye let out a low sigh and looked at the woman in front of him with hazy eyes, and felt that there seemed to be an external spiritual force in his body.
This spiritual power is not strong, but it is extremely comfortable, like a natural hotbed. Even the rioting demon blood is much docile.
He guessed what happened, but was unable to stop it. Before he could think about it, he fell into coma again.
After a long time, Jiang Ningyue slowly straightened up. The bright red color on her red lips was like a hint of coquettishness spreading in the snow. Seeing that Xuan Ye's face finally returned to normal, she relaxed her mind and smiled slightly.
She looked outside the cave and saw that it was already dawn. Suddenly she felt tired, so she curled up and fell asleep next to the young man.
…
Near noon, Xuan Ye woke up faintly, and then he saw Jiang Ningyue sleeping next to him. Although he didn't seem to have changed much, he already knew what had happened.
Slowly packing up his clothes, he quietly left the cave and came back after hunting a hare in the mountains.
When Jiang Ningyue woke up, the rabbit was already roasted. The two of them ate it in silence, but said nothing.
After filling his stomach, Xuan Ye will go back to the mountain immediately. Although demon fire is valuable, it is not as important as life.
"Why? I don't agree!" Jiang Ningyue said with determination, "I know what you are worried about, but the poison in my body is not deep. Halfway through the inhalation, the remaining toxin will be eliminated by some kind of power in your body.
Coupled with my ice body, I can last at least half a month!"
Xuan Ye shook his head, but he didn't dare to gamble that he would be able to rush back to Xuantian Temple in half a month. In addition, it would take time to refine the antidote elixir, so he must not take this risk.
"Junior brother, just obey me." Jiang Ningyue's expression darkened, and she said quietly: "I'm afraid you don't know my situation in Da Qing Qiong. Even if I go back to the mountain, I still can't get the antidote. Maybe.
I can survive on my own!"
When Xuan Ye heard the words, he looked at the smile on Jiang Ningyue's face, but fell silent.
Thinking that when they first met, even a junior like Huang Chong dared to point at Jiang Ningyue, who had been in the mountains for fifteen years, and yell at her. Li Shu also had a sense of contempt for her attitude. These words are not without credibility.
Spend.
"Don't worry, senior sister, I'm very tough, this little setback won't stop me~" Jiang Ningyue smiled slightly, as usual.
But the more this happened, the more guilty Xuan Ye felt in his heart. If he had gone down the mountain alone here, he probably wouldn't have gotten into these troubles. However, guilt is useless, it is better to think of ways to make amends.
"Medicine store!" Lightning flashed in his mind, and he thought that the destination of his trip happened to be a medicine store. There must be a pharmacist inside, and he might be able to refine antidote pills!
Thinking of this, Xuan Ye stopped delaying and pulled Jiang Ningyue out of the cave in a hurry, flying towards Luoxia Valley.
Fortunately, when he escaped last night, he subconsciously chose the direction of Luoxia Valley, and now it only takes a day and a half to reach the medicine village.
We kept going non-stop, and finally arrived at a small peak on the outskirts of Luoxia Valley before nightfall on the second day.
No matter how small the mountain gate is, there is a mountain guard formation, and Xuan Ye does not dare to rush in from mid-air because he wants to ask for help. He can only land in front of the mountain gate and walk towards the stairs to climb the mountain.
After a while, the two came to a plum forest. After walking for a while, they found that the surrounding scenery had not changed. On the contrary, the sky was completely dark, and they could only be illuminated by fire.
"This is a maze formation, set up with the help of plum blossoms as a guide." Jiang Ningyue reminded.
Xuan Ye also knows a thing or two about formations. When the weapon refining skills reach a certain level, he can carve formations into the refined objects to activate the power of heaven and earth. However, he doesn't know much about this maze formation.
few.
"Is there a way to break the formation?" he asked.
"Of course there is, and it's not difficult. One is to find the formation's eye, and the other is to rely on extremely strong power to destroy this piece of plum forest, and the maze of formations will collapse on their own."
Jiang Ningyue smiled slightly, "Junior brother has such a level of cultivation, one Wandering Spirit Art is enough to destroy this place."
Xuan Ye rolled his eyes and sighed softly, "Then I'm afraid it's hopeless to ask for medicine. Senior sister, don't hide it, find the formation eye quickly, the poison is on you!"
Jiang Ningyue smiled and said nothing, walked forward a few steps with her hands behind her back, picked up a handful of fine soil, and crushed it between her fingertips. When she straightened up again, she had the magic pen in her hand, and she gently tapped it down.
"This is the earthquake position, facing the east. The five elements belong to wood, which corresponds to the plum forest. When we enter the mountain, we face the southeast, so as long as we find the Xun position, we can go out."
After saying that, she gently turned the magic pen, stepped on the Bagua position, and slowly moved forward around Merlin, and after a while she actually walked out of the maze.
Xuan Ye couldn't help but marvel, Jiang Ningyue was really well-informed. If he had relied on him alone, he might have been able to break it open by force.
Then he went up the steps and broke into a small forest. The strange thing was that there were mostly dead trees in the forest, and they were kept from falling to the ground by the entanglement of thick vines.
After walking for a while, Xuan Ye found that the corner of his clothes was being pulled, and Jiang Ningyue beside him let out a low sob. Before he could turn around, the scenery in front of him suddenly changed.
A long-lost figure stood in front of him. That stunning figure smiled sweetly at him, "Sayoko, did you miss me~"
"Mei...Mei'er?" Before Xuan Ye could react, he felt a huge mountain crashing down on his shoulders, as if his soul was imprisoned in place, and another cold voice came from his ears.
"Did you miss me again?"
Lidu quietly appeared behind Gu Meier, held her neck and slowly lifted her up, sneering: "You are indeed with this scoundrel. Let's see how you escape today!"
Xuan Ye's face turned pale, and his body couldn't help but tremble. The scene of being ravaged by the poison that day was clearly visible in his mind, but now that he was seeing her again, even the hand holding the pen was trembling.
"Xiao Yezi..." Gu Meier struggled painfully, bloodshot eyes slowly dripping from the corners of her mouth.
Xuan Ye was furious and the moment he waved his magic pen, his wrist was pinched by an extremely thin black hand. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free. The moment he raised his head, he happened to look into the weird demon eyes, and his body was instantly empty.
, as if the soul was scared out of the body.
"A mere ant is worthy of fighting against me?"
After saying this, Lidu used a little force and crushed his wrist.
Xuan Ye felt pain in his heart, but he couldn't cry out. The next moment, blood rushed to the top of his head. Even if he died, he would not give in!
At this moment, the scriptures flashed in front of me, and in a trance, I seemed to see the old monk's kind face and a low Buddha's name.
"Amitabha!"
"It's an illusion!" Xuan Ye immediately woke up and his heart seemed to be much clearer. He quickly took out a piece of green leaf from his Xumi bag and put it in his mouth.
This leaf is an herbal medicine that has the effect of calming the mind. Although taking it directly is not as good as the elixir, it can relieve temporary sleepiness.
When the medicine flowed into his lungs, he opened his eyes again, and there was still the dry forest in front of him. Jiang Ningyue was crouching aside, sobbing softly.
Xuan Ye hurriedly stuffed a piece of green leaf into her and pulled her quickly to the outside of the withered forest. After running for half a stick of incense, but before she reached the end, the medicinal effect of the green leaf was about to disappear, and the surrounding scenery became
Twisted.
He hurriedly circulated his spiritual power, strengthened his energy, and rushed out dozens of meters away with a breath held in his breath. Only then did he see the dreamy white light in front of him.
After running out of the dead forest, I turned around and looked again, and found that the entire forest was rising like a steamer with thick smoke. The old trees also looked like people, stretching out slender strips of paper to hug passers-by, and there were still folds under the roots of the trees.
There were several piles of decayed bones, but it was hard to tell whether they were humans or animals.
"Cough, cough!" Jiang Ningyue coughed lowly and looked at the young man in black in front of her with a confused expression. "I..."
"The thick vines in the forest should be some kind of medicinal material that can induce hallucinations. We inhaled the thick fog and fell into an illusion." After Xuan Ye explained, he looked up at the top of the mountain. It should not be far from the medicine village, but he didn't know what was ahead.
Is there any level blocking it?
Jiang Ningyue was stunned, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and looked along the mountain path.
Not far ahead, I finally saw a door. Before I even knocked on the door, I heard voices coming from inside.
"Who is so bold as to break into the medicine store without permission!"
Judging from the voice, he should be that of a middle-aged man. His tone was not only cold, but also revealed an air of hostility.
Xuan Ye didn't dare to speculate on his own. After all, he was asking for help from someone. He replied loudly: "My friend has been poisoned and is in urgent need of an antidote. I also ask the owner of the village to help me. I will thank you greatly afterwards!"
"The medicine village never accepts outsiders, so go down the mountain!"
Xuan Ye naturally refused to give up, "We are people of Xuantian Temple, we are willing to reward you with treasures, and we also ask the owner of your village to help us!"
This time, there was no reply from behind the door. Jiang Ningyue tugged at the corner of Xuan Ye's clothes, "Why don't we forget it."
Xuan Ye's face darkened. If the other party really rejected him thousands of miles away, he wouldn't mind breaking in. It didn't matter what medicine these old cow noses were selling when people's lives were at stake.
Although there are not many treasures on the body, there are also many rare medicinal materials. At worst, I will pay more when the time comes.
Just when he was about to take action, the door suddenly opened, and an old man in plain robes stepped out and smiled slightly, "I'm sorry, I am the owner of the village, my surname is Zhao. Something has happened in the village these days, so the guards dare not let go.
Come in. Now that things have calmed down, if you want to detoxify, please come with me."
The change of attitude was so fast that Xuan Ye and the two of them were a little surprised. Looking inside the door again, they saw a mess, so they believed the old man's words.
"Thank you, Master!" Xuan Ye cupped his hands and took the lead in stepping into the door.
Walking into the courtyard, you can see broken trees, piles of rocks, and many traces of dragging, as if a huge beast just broke through here, but it is not difficult to imagine the elegant courtyard scene at the beginning.
"We wanted to tame a mountain beast to use as a medicine guide, but we never thought it would make you so embarrassed and make you laugh." The old man smiled softly and stretched out his hand to guide the two of them towards the atrium.
As soon as he walked into the courtyard gate, Xuan Ye smelled the pungent smell of blood. He looked up and saw a giant beast standing in the center of the atrium.
This giant beast has a green body, a wolf-like head, a human body, a strong body, and four thick arms. Its whole body is nailed to eight beast pillars by chains as thick as wrists, and half of its body is soaked in a pool of bright red blood.
.
Xuan Ye could only see the upper part from this angle, and he still felt shocked.
"Could this be...the Jade Demon Wolf?" Jiang Ningyue said in surprise.
