The woman in yellow is leaning against a thick pine tree, still holding a round fan in her hand and playing with it. It seems that she can't put it down.
The fan is not embroidered with common flowers or landscape patterns like ordinary fans, but instead is a lifelike strange bird.
The strange bird has golden feathers on its body, red eyes and a black beak. What is even more peculiar is that it has three legs underneath and stands on a dead branch. It is very handsome.
On the other side of the pine tree, the young man in blue is sitting with his eyes closed, meditating calmly and practicing Qi. He is not as relaxed and comfortable as the woman in yellow.
After a while, a figure flew from the sky and quickly reached the top of the grove. After a few circles, it accurately arrived at the top of the pine tree and slowly landed.
I saw that the old white-haired old man walked to the ground, made a move with one hand, and the long sword under his feet quickly shrank with a "swipe" sound, and flew into the storage bag on his waist.
"Senior Brother Ling, how's the investigation going?" The woman in yellow clothes didn't take her eyes off the ball, fanned her, and asked without raising her head.
"There is something abnormal. That boy must not have told any lies. On the Manzhong Hill he mentioned, I did not see any big cracks. Instead, there was a very simple phantom formation."
"Illusion formation?" The woman in yellow shirt finally stopped what she was doing and raised her head to look at the old man.
"Yes. It's just a phantom formation, but this phantom formation doesn't have the effect of shielding the aura. I explored it from a distance and found that the blood energy in it was very strong and was constantly radiating out." After a pause, the veteran continued to add.
said.
"The blood is strong..." After murmuring, the woman in yellow's expression finally became a little solemn.
......
The three people who met under the pine tree came out of the Jiuyuanhui and were preparing to return to Yunmeng Mountain to continue their cultivation after completing their sect mission.
The white-haired old Taoist is the one with the highest cultivation level among the three, and has reached the eleventh level of Qi training. However, he is already old now, and there is basically no hope of further improvement in cultivation level.
If there is any special opportunity, the most that can be done is to enter the foundation building period and enjoy twice the life span. But this kind of good thing can only be thought of.
The young man in blue has the weakest magical power among the three, and he only has the ninth level of Qi training. Two years ago, he accidentally performed a meritorious service, and he changed from an outer disciple to an inner disciple.
Because he knows that everything he has now is hard-won, the young man in blue is always submissive and does not dare to argue with others, for fear that he will lose his current identity if he is not careful.
On the contrary, the woman in yellow was originally from a monk family. She has been loved by the elders in the family since she was a child, and she has never experienced any hardships.
Precisely because his cultivation path was so smooth, Fairy Xiao had a very high opinion of himself, and he was mostly sarcastic about the people around him.
This time, the sect mission was originally sent out specially under the care of others, just to go through the motions. But now, facing the intelligence obtained by the veteran, I found that things were not as simple as expected.
With the desolate and uninhabited burial ground, the rich blood energy, and the illusory formation that conceals it, it is not difficult to guess that what they are facing may be monsters that have mutated, or they may be evil cultivators who practice the evil method of blood sacrifice. No matter which one it is, it is a very unfavorable situation for them. Now the three of them are only in the Qi training period, but they have no idea what is under the illusion formation.
If you want to give up the mission and go back home, you will no longer have the face to meet people in the sect. If you want to send a message to request reinforcements, you will not be able to provide more specific information. Not to mention that this mission was sent out at the beginning
Three people have long exceeded the number of people originally required.
"I think so, junior sister. It will be noon soon, and it is also the most positive time of the day. There is also some suppression of evil methods. Let's go and explore together then. If it is very weak, it will be destroyed.
Even if we lose, we still have a reason to explain." After a moment of silence, the old man proposed a seemingly compromise method.
"Okay, that's it. Let's prepare first. I hope we are too worried." The woman in yellow shirt finally raised her head and said something solemnly.
On the other side of the foothills of Wanzhong Hill, a path with a barely discernible outline extends up the hill in twists and turns.
Next to the path, a fire was burning brightly. Sun Huo was sitting casually aside, flipping two pheasants roasting on the fire, and a smell of meat was escaping.
With a slight groan, Li Yan touched the back of his head and sat up. He turned his head and saw Sun Huo beside the fire.
With a sudden jolt, Li Yan's confusion disappeared without a trace in an instant. He jumped up from the ground and was far away.
Seeing that Sun Huo did not follow him, he still looked at Huo by himself. Li Yan calmed down for a moment and looked around at the surrounding environment.
However, I saw that the environment here was very strange, and it was obvious that I had never been here before. In addition, although it was broad daylight, it gave off an eerie atmosphere.
"You've seen enough, then come over and have something to eat. We have some business to do later." Sun Huo's voice suddenly sounded, startling Li Yan who was looking around.
He turned around and looked over, only to see that Sun Huo still hadn't left the fire, but was just raising his head and looking this way.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Yan slowly walked back and sat down on the other side of the fire, slightly away from Sun Huo.
"Go on." Sun Huo waved his hand and threw a roasted pheasant over. Li Yan took it but did not eat it.
The other party is obviously just a young man, so why do I, a person who has experienced the ups and downs of the world, feel so powerless in front of him? This feeling is only experienced by people who meet those gods.
Glancing around, Li Yan was a little surprised that the impressive black giant sword was not nearby.
While Li Yan was still thinking wildly, Sun Huo had already eaten a whole pheasant in his stomach. He looked up and saw that the one in Li Yan's hand had not moved, so he said, "If you don't want to eat it, just give it back."
I'm fine."
After hesitating for a moment, Li Yan threw the whole pheasant back.
After a while, Sun Huo wiped his mouth and stood up. "Let's go."
"Please tell me something clear. Who are you and where do you want to take me?" Li Yan was still sitting on the ground for a while and did not stand up.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that I brought you here to understand some things and let you do something for me. If you don't want to continue to be ignorant, then just go along." At this time, Li Yan was shocked.
Noticed that Sun Huo was extremely serious when he said this.
At this time, ten miles away from Wanzhongqiu, about twenty people in Tsing Yi were riding fast horses, driving at lightning speed. The two people leading the way were Li Nuo, who was knocked unconscious in front, and another one carrying a long sword.
