Shen Xuan ignored Ning Cai'er's opinion at all, activated a small amount of spiritual power, put his finger on the back of her neck, and made her fall asleep.
At midnight, Shen Xuan was sitting on the futon, with his back leaning against the bed. The temple door was pushed open through a crack silently, and a vine as thick as an arm twisted in along the crack of the door, aiming straight for Ning Cai'er's pair of delicate jade fingers. foot.
Shen Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, drew his sword, and chopped it! The vine was broken, and the green juice splashed on the ground. It smelled like heather. Xuan said angrily: "What the hell..."
The remaining broken vine retracted quickly, while the broken section twisted like a snake for a while, and finally turned into a withered vine, leaving only a strange smell that lingered for a long time.
At the third moment of the Chou hour, a knock on the door was heard, and Shen Xuan came out with his sword. No one was watching, except for an uncovered coffin lying on the ground, containing countless gold and silver.
Is this a demonstration or bribery? Shen Xuan didn't care what the other party meant. He kicked the coffin over with a "thud" kick. Pearls, emeralds, and gold ingots rolled to the ground. Shen Xuan didn't even look at these vulgar objects. , turned around, entered the house and closed the door.
She was just a scholar, so she didn't know what this monster saw in her.
After protecting Ning Cai'er all night, even though she only used one sword, she was already mentally exhausted.
At dawn, Shen Xuan didn't waste any time. He helped Ning Cai'er pack her things, tapped the acupuncture points on the back of her neck to keep her drowsy, and then tied her onto the donkey's back with a rope technique, then ordered the donkey to take her to safety. place.
Shen Xuan also followed Dabao and sent him out for a while. When he felt that he was out of danger, he returned alone.
Dabao left Shen Xuan and began to run away. About half an hour later, Dabao found a flat piece of grass, used his "immortal power" to shake Ning Cai'er off his back, and then turned around and left.
After a while, Ning Cai'er slowly woke up. In the early morning, the dew was heavy and humid. As she lay on the grass again, she felt that her whole body was clammy and uncomfortable, and her long eyelashes were covered with dew.
Ning Cai'er stood up and looked around blankly, and found that she was in a wilderness. There was a city in the distance as far as the eye could see. The book was crooked not far away, and several books were scattered on the ground. Apart from that, there was no one around her. anyone.
She was about to take a step, but she felt strange again. She looked down and saw that the fancy knots were tied around her body, but it did not affect her movement. She untied the ropes, but her mind was in confusion. Was she being robbed?
Ning Cai'er tried her best to recall, and the memories of yesterday emerged in her mind bit by bit, including shelter from the rain, ruined temples, fairies... After she completely smoothed the memory, she looked at the grass and smoke around her, and her heart suddenly felt empty.
The morning fog has not dissipated yet, and the ground is covered in mist. Just like her current state of mind, she has never felt so lost, as if she is the only one left in the world, and everything has become meaningless.
Was last night just a dream? She had never gone into a ruined temple to take shelter from the rain, nor had she had a pleasant conversation with a fairy. She was just tired from walking and fell asleep in the wilderness all night.
Ning Cai'er felt inexplicably uncomfortable. She tightened her clothes and began to quietly pack up the books on the floor...
Why would God let me have such a beautiful dream? It’s really cruel!
A senseless anger rushed into her heart. Ning Cai'er suddenly picked up the book she had just packed and threw it away with all her strength. The pages of the book were flying all over the sky.
After venting, Ning Cai'er felt that she was inexplicable again. She had a dream and woke up again. Who could blame her? But she just felt aggrieved. Countless pieces of paper were still floating and falling. She sat in a rain of paper, worrying about gains and losses.
When all the paper fell, the land was completely white and clean. Looking around, it felt even more desolate and desolate. However, within a piece of paper, a familiar picture scroll made Ning Cai'er very surprised.
She immediately crawled over, wiped the dirt from her hands on her body, and finally, filled with tears and full of expectation, slowly unfolded the scroll...
There was only surprise in Ning Cai'er's beautiful big eyes, her eyes were stupid, and she finally woke up.
She held the scroll as if it were a treasure, puffed up her cheeks, and blew on the painting carefully.
It’s not a dream! The fact that the portrait of the young master is still there means that everything is not a dream. She is going to find the young master...
Ning Cai'er packed her things carelessly and happily put the book on her back. She took a few steps but stopped at a loss. Where should she look? She didn't know where she was now. She didn't even know the name of the young master.
He disappeared on purpose because he definitely didn't want to see her. Even if he found that ruined temple, he would probably not be able to find a beautiful woman.
She couldn't help but feel melancholy in her heart, and she was extremely sad. Where can I find it in the vast world? Where can I find it...
Ning Cai'er clapped her hands for a while, held her forehead for a while, and pulled up the millstone on the spot. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind. The young master is not a human being. If you want to find him, you have to learn the magic first. The magic is omnipotent. It will be very difficult to find him by then.
It's simple, and if you practice the Immortal Technique, you can make yourself thinner and tenderer. When the time comes, if the young master wants to eat you, you won't let him have his teeth stuffed.
Don't go to Kaunke, go to her bird official. I'm going to find immortality, so I'll go to the city in front to find someone to ask. I have a flexible mind and study hard. As long as I find immortality, I will definitely cultivate.
The progress is also rapid, maybe it will be a thousand miles in one day, flying in the clouds for three days, soaring in five days, and turning into a horse in half a month. Young master, wait for me, we will see you soon.
On a hillside in the distance, Dabao saw that Ning Cai'er had finally left for the city, and he was truly on his way home.
As for why Dabao had to wait until Ning Cai'er entered the city before leaving, it was just the master's task.
Dabao may seem careless, but he is actually very loyal. This loyalty not only comes from the fact that his life is controlled by others, but more importantly, he is a happy-go-lucky donkey who doesn't want to hang out with anyone. He practices on his own and may be eaten by monsters one day.
As long as the owner has food and drink, it's not safe.
On Shen Xuan's side, after seeing off one person and one donkey, he returned to Lanruo Temple alone. After the storm, the red lotuses in the temple pond seemed to have Buddhist meanings. The raindrops were flowing on the lotus leaves, and the rising sunlight in the east shone.
Below, it is crystal clear and colorful, rolling into the pool water.
The smell in the Buddhist hall was still unpleasant. Shen Xuan entered the hall and started to put away the furniture one by one. Just as Yanbixia came out, she also smelled the smell of heather.
Yan Wenxia seemed to have thought of something. Suddenly her face turned red and she looked at Shen Xuan who was putting away the bedding with strange eyes. The latter also immediately froze. He also thought of something...
At this moment, Shen Xuan's heart felt like ten thousand mythical beasts rushing past. Auntie, what are you looking at! I didn't, I was wronged!
He felt wronged and wanted to cry. His brain was completely white. He was embarrassed, but he had to explain: "I have been meditating and keeping vigil on the bed where Miss Cai'er slept last night."
"Then you are yourself... uh... I know that your friend is... a person who loves himself."
Yan Meixia was stunned at first, then tried to calm herself down, and finally looked weird when she mentioned "the person who loves herself".
Shen Xuan knew that he was getting darker and darker, and he was so angry that it was all the monsters here. He suddenly said seriously: "There are monsters near Lanruo Temple. I want to kill them. Senior, would you like to join me?"
Speaking of this, Yan Yuxia's expression became serious. She nodded and said, "Follow me," as if she had made a decision.
Beside the lotus pond, Yan Feixia asked: "What did you see?"
"It's just an ordinary lotus pond, the flowers are quite bright."
"You separate the spiritual power and look through Sibai and Qingming."
Shen Xuan did as he was told, and a ball of white light suddenly burst out in front of his eyes. He endured the soreness in his eyeballs and waited for the white light to subside before looking again!
At the bottom of the lotus pond, there are numerous bones of both men and women, as well as children. Their skin and flesh were rotted into mud, and the lotus roots wrapped around the skeletons, and finally took root in the mud.
Shen Xuan remained silent, turned his head, and couldn't bear to look any further. Yan Yuxia said solemnly: "I have counted the corpses, at least four hundred. Do you know what this means?"
Seeing Shen Xuan's gaze, Yan Yuxia pointed to a withered skeleton at the bottom of the pool and said, "That pile of bones has been soaked to the point of being loose. It must have been dead for a hundred years..."
She turned to Shen Xuan with burning eyes and said extremely cautiously: "In other words, the demon entrenched here is at least a century-old demon who has sucked human essence, blood and soul. His strength is probably no less than that of the golden elixir. Do you really want to think clearly? Is it done?"
With a clang, Bai Ling's sword was unsheathed, Shen Xuan's sword pointed at the pond, and asked: "Senior Yan, please look, is this scrap metal or a sword?"
"It's a good sword."
"This sword is a gift from my sister. It's called Bai Ling. If you don't dare to use the sword in your hand, it will be scrap metal. Then I, Shen Xuan, don't have to go out anymore. I can just stay at home and be a useless person."
"It is good to have a chivalrous heart, but in the end you have to have strength." Yan Feixia said with a lonely tone, and looked at the pond blankly and asked: "I am still one step away from forming an elixir, and I am definitely no match for the demons here. What kind of cultivator are you? for?"
"I refine my Qi."
"..."
"???"
"I'm just kidding."
Since this person is one step away from forming pills, Xiao Chengcheng is confident. He is not an ordinary Qi Condensing Realm, and the most important thing is that he has many treasures. Shen Xuan replied, "There is no way for me to fight against pill formation, but it is okay to do some interference. Senior, if you are interested, I will accompany you at any time."
Yan Wenxia was quite surprised when she heard this, and then she laughed boldly and said: "I didn't expect that my Taoist friend, as a man, would have such courage, and at such a young age, he would have such cultivation. Okay, great things can be accomplished!"
Shen Xuan had long known that this senior who looked very righteous at first glance would go there. The treasures in an old monster's lair were quite attractive, and Shen Xuan had long wanted to experience the adventure of an ordinary cultivator.
Of course, he also considered the possibility of failure. He flipped his palm and sent out an ordinary escape talisman, "If I guess correctly, what is entrenched here is a tree demon and its ghosts. The luck of this trip is unpredictable. Senior, please accept this escape talisman first."
She had long seen that this boy had a rich family, but Yan Yuxia still didn't expect him to be so rich. He gave away the life-saving high-grade escape talisman at any time. If this prodigal child was her son, she would definitely beat him to death.
Suppressing the greed in her heart, Yan Yuxia took it casually, then put her hands behind her back and said like a fairy: "If it's useless, I will return it to you. As monks, we still can't rely too much on external things."
…
Once the two made up their minds, the location of the tree demon was actually easy to find. Near Lanruo Temple, Shen Xuan and Yan Feixia entered a dense forest and immediately noticed that something was different here.
They looked at each other and then walked deeper. Many barren graves and dead bones slowly appeared on the road. The leaves blocked the sky and the sun. It was obviously broad daylight but it felt like dusk. There were no sounds of insects and birds around.
In an instant, the leaves in the entire forest were rustling and dancing, and the noises from all directions finally converged strangely and combined into one sound.
"I didn't even look for you, but you want to mess with me!"
The voice varied between male and female. It was weird, but I couldn't place it. The invisible enemy was the most terrifying. Shen Xuan and Yan Yuxia were both a little nervous. They were holding swords back to back and looked around. Shen Xuan summoned his spiritual power and shouted. A cry: "Dang!"
The spiritual power spread out and the shaking of the leaves stopped. Shen Xuan sneered and thought it was something. It turned out to be a dirty trick.
"I thought that as a century-old tree demon, you would have something to say, but I didn't expect that you would say such vulgar words!"
The surrounding leaves rustled and trembled again, and Shen Xuan shouted "Dang!"
Then, he continued to curse: "Shut up! Shameless old thief, don't you know that everyone in the world is willing to eat your flesh, how dare you talk here!"
I dare not show up but still want to talk, dreaming, just hold it in! After scolding someone in this way, the other person could not retaliate, and Shen Xuan suddenly felt very good.
It's best if you can scold it to death. If you can't scold it to death, it's okay if you can make the other party take the initiative to show up in anger. If he keeps up his efforts, the famous sentences engraved in his genes will come.
"The Yin-Yang tree has a rotten butt. You have lived hundreds of years in vain. You only know how to wag your lips and stick your tongue. You are a dog with a broken back, but you still dare to bark in front of me! I have never seen such a shameless person!"
When Shen Xuan once again interrupted the dryad's opportunity to speak, the dryad finally couldn't bear it anymore. It still had the same male and female voice, but this time the dryad spoke directly, and the voice came from the north. What's more, there are more than a dozen vines flying out from the dense forest.
"I kill you!"
There were obviously two people here, but the tree demon's attacks were all aimed at Shen Xuan alone. It seemed that he really scolded the tree demon in a hurry.
The Yanfeixia people on the side were all dumbfounded, there was something wrong with this little fairy man!
Shen Xuan quickly swung his sword and knocked several vines away. When the sword came into contact with the vines, it sank with great force every time, as if it was smashed against an iron pillar. The hardness was completely different from the one last night.
His arms were numb from the backlash. At this time, Yan Yuxia also swung her sword to help, blocking most of the remaining ones and finding an angle to cut off two of them.
However, these vines attacked one after another, putting the two at a disadvantage from the beginning. If they defended for a long time, they would lose. Yan Feixia quickly said: "Attack with all your strength. You have to hit its main body. All these trees and vines must be attacked." Even if it’s chopped off, I’m just cutting its nails!”
Shen Xuan replied: "Okay!" He waved his sword with his right hand to block, pulled his belt with his left hand and threw it to the sky, silently recited the magic formula in his mouth, and then formed a seal with his left hand on his chest.
The jade belt soared into the air, activated by spiritual power, and the prototype of the immortal rope was revealed in an instant. "Ka La La" turned into an interlocking silver chain, moving like a silver dragon flying in the clouds, and fast like thunder falling from the sky.
The fairy binding rope and dozens of vines were entangled with each other, and finally became inseparable, pulling up a huge strange net in the air. Shen Xuan and Yan Feixia also took this opportunity to rush into the dense forest where the tree demon was hiding.
