Jie Gu's so-called home is just an invisible cave. On the surface, it is no different from other mountains, but inside it is empty. Jie Gu stood quietly in front of the mountain, muttering something in his mouth, when a crack suddenly appeared in the mountain, and he could only
It can accommodate one person in and out, and the slightly burly Zhui Ri can barely squeeze in.
The furnishings in the cave were extremely simple, with only a large stone bed and a simple stone table, which were piled with old books. Lu Xiaoxin picked up a book and found that it was a mental formula for cultivating spiritual power. The pages
It has been tumbled and has rough edges, but it is smooth without a trace of wrinkles. It is obvious that it has been preserved with great care.
After settling down Xiaoxiang, Lu Xiao arranged for Chi Lian and Yaizhen to go out to investigate the situation. Now that they had approached the Pingle Kingdom, they were attacked by the ghost clan again. I don’t know if there was a special arrangement, so they must find out.
Only the surrounding situation can determine the next step of deployment. Otherwise, rushing there will only increase casualties.
Unexpectedly, just over an hour later, Yaizhen and Chi Lian rushed back in disgrace. As soon as they entered the cave, Yaizhen shouted angrily: "These guys from the Zhi tribe have dog noses? How come the news comes so fast?"
The Pingle Kingdom has been surrounded by water for a long time. Now I'm afraid not even a mosquito can fly in!"
Meng Zirou looked at him confused, not understanding what happened. Only then did Chi Lian explain in detail what had just happened.
It turned out that after the two of them left the cave, they walked straight towards the Pingle Kingdom. At first, everything was fine, but gradually they discovered that the closer they got to the Pingle Kingdom, the more demonic energy in the air became thicker. After walking for a while,
, several Zhi clan soldiers with high spiritual power surrounded the two of them, and without saying a word, they came up to fight.
Yaizhen and Chilian didn't want to cause more trouble, so they didn't kill them. Unexpectedly, the Zhi clan people kept chasing and fighting them without knowing whether they were alive or dead, and they were determined not to give up until their lives were taken. The two were helpless.
So, they had no choice but to go on a killing spree.
Chi Lian left one alive and wanted to find out some information. Unexpectedly, this guy actually chose the method of dying together. He condensed all the spiritual power in his body and suddenly burst out, blowing himself to pieces. If it weren't for the quick eyes and quick hands, a
If you pull Jiang Chi Lian away, even if he survives, he will suffer heavy losses.
After listening, everyone was silent. The headquarters of the Zhi clan is far away in the south of the cloud. How could they get the news so quickly and rush to the Pingle Kingdom to intercept a few people? Unless someone leaked the news, but who is this person?
After a moment of silence, Meng Zirou's eyes suddenly lit up, she looked at Lu Xiao and said, "After we take Qingming Pills, will our bodies lose their demonic nature within two years?" Lu Xiao didn't understand what she meant for a while, and was confused.
Nod.
——"Then if we transform into ordinary people, won't anyone be able to discover our identity?"
Everyone suddenly became enlightened, and everyone smiled knowingly. Only Xiaoxiang looked lonely, not knowing what he was thinking------
The sky gradually darkened. Lu Xiao and others stood up to leave. Xiaoxiang grabbed him and opened his mouth in despair, but did not speak. His weak eyes were filled with tears pitifully, making people unable to bear to look at them for a long time.
, then suddenly let go of his hand, forced out a smile, and said in a self-comforting way: "Xiao, go back quickly, I'll be waiting for you here!" ------
As if Xiaoxiang was right, within two hours, several people appeared in the cave again. Jie Gu didn't seem to notice their depressed faces, and said happily: "Sister Xiaoxiang is really amazing. Just now she asserted that you are very good."
I'll be back soon, she was right as expected!"
Lu Xiao glared at him angrily and sat down on the stone bed without saying a word. Xiaoxiang sat upright obediently, holding his hand considerately and stroking it gently. Lu Xiao smiled comfortingly.
He looked up and shook his head at her without saying a word.
Meng Zirou seemed not to notice the cordial behavior between the two, and was still immersed in her own world. She had given Xiaohan Qingming Pills before departure, and several of them had also changed their appearance. How could they still be recognized by the Zhi tribe?
Come out? Is there really a spy of the Zhi clan among these people? Then this person is most likely ------
"Xiaoxiang! Did you betray us?" Meng Zirou suddenly pulled out the sword, and the gleaming sword edge was directed towards Xiaoxiang's throat.
None of the people in Zhui Ri moved. Because everyone agreed with Meng Zirou's judgment, but because of Lu Xiao, no one said anything.
"Meng Zirou, are you crazy?" Lu Xiao looked at this scene in astonishment, and then angrily pushed away Meng Zirou's sword-holding hand, stood up "Huo", and yelled irritably: "You still don't think so now?"
If the trouble is not enough, do you want to set another fire among us?"
——"You still want to protect her? If someone didn't inform us, why do we know every step of our enemy's whereabouts? Since Xiaoxiang joined us, we have not been able to complete anything smoothly. Who else could be the traitor other than her?"
——"We didn't get through it smoothly before she joined. Besides, she was not the only one who joined later. Why do you insist it was her?"
——"She was indeed not the only one who joined later, but today the others have been with us all the time, and she was the only one who had the chance to sneak out to report the news!"
——"Which eye did you see her going out? She was so seriously injured, how could it be possible------"
"Sister Xiaoxiang did go out today!" Jie Gu's sudden words made the air freeze instantly. Everyone's doubtful eyes were all focused on Xiaoxiang. Even Lu Xiao, who had been protecting her, had a look of astonishment on his face. Xiaoxiang panicked.
She shook her head and subconsciously shrank back, looking helplessly at Lu Xiao. A group of emerald green herbs suddenly appeared on the edge of her skirt.
"What is this?" Lu Xiao carefully picked up a handful, put it under his nose and smelled it, and asked in confusion.
——"This is Golden Green Grass, a wonderful medicine for stopping bleeding and healing wounds!"
——"Isn't your wound already bandaged?"
"But your wound was not bandaged!" Xiaoxiang cried out in grievance, and pulled Lu Xiao's injured arm distressedly: "Besides, as long as you are with Miss Meng, you will inevitably get injured. I went out to pick up more.
Jinling grass is refined into elixirs for your emergencies!"
Everyone was stunned, no one expected such a result. What made everyone even more unexpected was that Xiaoxiang's casual words caused the flames to be directed to Meng Zirou. It seemed that every time Lu Xiao was injured, it was Meng Zirou's fault.
The same. Such a clever answer not only highlighted his understanding and kindness, but also pushed Meng Zirou to the forefront of the limelight, and everyone had to sweat for Meng Zirou.
Sure enough, Lu Xiao seemed to have already fallen in love and completely lost his usual reason and calmness. Although he did not have an attack, he stared angrily at Meng Zirou with a look of horror on his face.
Meng Zirou stared back without saying a word, refusing to take a step back. Her noble and stubborn attitude was in sharp contrast to the pitiful look of Xiaoxiang next to her.
Just when the two were in a stalemate, Xiaoxiang suddenly jumped down from the stone bed, knelt on the ground, pulled the corner of Meng Zirou's clothes, and begged painfully: "Miss Meng, I know, I know that my existence makes you very sad.
Embarrassing. Don’t worry, I will never compete with you for favor. I don’t want fame or status. I just want to see Xiao every day. Even if it means being a slave, I am willing to do so! I beg you, don’t drive me away.
Walk!"
"You------what are you talking about? Let go!" Meng Zirou stood there angrily, looking at Xiaoxiang who was crying into tears. She didn't understand why she had such a big reaction all of a sudden.
Feeling very bored, he subconsciously wanted to pull out the hem of clothes in Xiaoxiang's hand. Not wanting to use too much force, Xiaoxiang screamed, his thin body fell sideways, and his head hit the stone table. He suddenly started bleeding profusely and fell unconscious.
Not awake.
"You're crazy!" Lu Xiao pushed Meng Zirou away with a palm, hugged Xiaoxiang tightly in his arms, looked at the bleeding wound with pity, grabbed the golden grass on the bed, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it
After a few times, he applied it carefully on Xiaoxiang's head, completely unaware that Meng Zirou, who had fallen to the ground, was looking at him in shock, her big purple eyes filled with strangeness and shock.
"Young Master!" When everyone didn't know what to do, Chi Lian reacted first and hurriedly helped Meng Zirou, who was still sitting on the ground, and asked with concern: "Are you okay? Get up quickly!"
Unexpectedly, Meng Zirou pushed him away and angrily shouted as if she was waking up from a dream: "Lu Xiao, you actually attacked me for this witch?"
"Demon girl?" Lu Xiao's face turned cold, and he gently placed the woman in his arms on the stone bed, then slowly turned around, looked at Meng Zirou with disdain, and coldly mocked: "Xiaoxiang is indeed a bamboo
Monster, how much better than her are you? You are just a half-human, half-demon monster, why are you here making irresponsible remarks to others? ------"
"Pah!" A sharp slap fell on Lu Xiao's face unceremoniously, but it seemed to hit everyone's heart. Everyone was so shocked that they couldn't help but tremble all over, and opened their mouths wide, but they couldn't make a sound.
.
Lu Xiao didn't say anything, and didn't even look at the tearful Meng Zirou. He sat on the stone bed, looked at Xiaoxiang who was still unconscious, gently held her hand, and slowly pressed it against the one where Meng Zirou was beating her.
He rubbed his red face back and forth, as if this could relieve the pain.
Meng Zirou stood up straight in despair, her red body shaking weakly like falling flowers for a few times, and finally turned around and walked out of the cave, but the moment she turned around, she shed heartbreaking tears.
"Sister!" Jie Gu shouted as if he had been greatly frightened, and chased out with Chi Lian. Xiao Han followed closely and left the cave. Zhui Ri helplessly glanced at Lu Xiao, who was as if he was petrified.
, glanced at Yaizi thoughtfully, and the latter nodded as if understanding, and then the two of them slowly walked out together.
