In the dark canyon.
Two figures stood silently.
But one of them stared in astonishment; the other hesitated to speak, with a hint of anxiety in his excited expression.
In a pool of blood not far away, two dead bodies lay. There were also falling flying swords, bloody broken arms, and traces of fire all over the ground, all testifying to the thrilling fight that had just passed.
Yu Ye once again killed Qizhou monks, and more than one. It stands to reason that he was ambushed by two qi-refining masters, and it was not easy to escape. However, he fought back in a desperate situation and succeeded in the end, which was beyond his expectation.
However, what surprised him was not that, but the woman who suddenly appeared at the critical moment and helped him defeat his opponent.
Angelica dahurica!
A few feet away, stood a woman. Although her clothes were simple, her figure was still graceful and beautiful.
It’s Angelica dahurica!
And she turned out to be Bai Zhi?
Ever since we left Xuanhuang Mountain, I have never seen her again.
How could she suddenly show up and help? Could it be that she has been hiding here for a long time, just like what the Qizhou monks did?
Yu Ye looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar woman, feeling confused for a moment. And he didn't say a word, silently throwing the dead bodies on the ground together, taking out a Lihuo Talisman and burning them clean, then picked up the flying sword on the ground and turned around to leave.
"Yu Ye——"
Bai Zhi bit her lip and called out softly.
In order to find the young man, she waited here for several months. Now we finally meet, and they are just like strangers.
Yu Ye did not look back.
After a while, he came to a forest about ten miles away and saw that the horse was fine, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
He took out a few healing pills and threw them into his mouth.
Although his body was not seriously injured, he took two sword blows, fought hard with one sword, and used sword energy one after another. At this time, his cultivation was running low, and his breath was disordered and his mind was exhausted.
It was still dark, and the forest where we were was quite quiet.
Yu Ye sat down on the spot, leaning against the tree trunk, closing his eyes, but couldn't help but frown.
He shook his head vigorously.
He didn't want to think about those annoying people and things, so he rested here for a while and left after dawn.
And just as he calmed down, he suddenly became upset again.
It was quite dark in the forest, but with his spiritual consciousness, he could see that the lingering figure hurriedly appeared more than ten feet away, carrying a package and a long sword, obviously chasing him specially.
"Why are you following me?"
Yu Ye couldn't bear it any longer, stood up abruptly and said angrily: "Are you going to take me back to Xuanhuang Mountain to imprison and raise me as a domestic animal, just to kill people and get pills? I remember my hometown feelings and don't care about it, but you have repeatedly The deception has become worse now, and he dares to come to Xingyuan Valley to harm my people. Let me tell you clearly, Miss Bai, I can kill Qizhou masters, and I can also kill you. Don’t force me to fall out, get out——"
He gritted his teeth and said the last word, obviously cruel. Over the past few months, I have learned from my experience that the good luck I once had has been completely shattered. He can tolerate the insidiousness of his enemies, but he cannot tolerate a woman lying and deceiving others. Now that he sees the other person again, he simply refuses to say anything. He doesn't want to have any more entanglements with this woman.
"ah--"
Bai Zhi rushed to the forest, but before she could gain a firm footing, she was scolded all over her face. She suddenly froze on the spot and was at a loss.
"you--"
Bai Zhi's face suddenly turned pale, and she said calmly: "You want me to get out of here?"
"Exactly!"
Yu Ye flicked his sleeves, turned around and said: "From now on, the road faces the sky, everyone goes to one side. But you are not allowed to get close to Xingyuan Valley, and you are not allowed to intrude on my family members. Don't say that I didn't predict what I said, I advise you to do it well!"
"That's fine, as you wish!"
Bai Zhi nodded slightly, but then said: "Before leaving, can you allow me to say a few words?"
Yu Ye ignored it and looked into the distance.
Bai Zhi's chest rose and fell slightly, and she said aloud: "Yes, I was the one who captured you to Xuanhuang Mountain. But it's hard to disobey the teacher's orders, and I can't help myself. I can't let you fall into Chen Qi's hands, otherwise what can you do? You have a destiny. I dare to ask you whether you have been a little wronged during the three months you stayed in Moya Cave? But you are angry that I raised you as a domestic animal, just to kill people and get pills. You might as well think about it, until today, except me Besides, does anyone up and down Xuanhuang Mountain know that you have Jiao Dan hidden in your body?"
Yu Ye was slightly startled and frowned.
"You accidentally mentioned the Jiao Dan to me, is this happening? Maybe you have forgotten it, but I have been thinking about it, and helped you keep it secret, and lied to the master that what you swallowed was just an ordinary beast pill. If not , Master, she has already taken the Jiao Dan from your body to forcefully extend your life. In order to let you live a few more days, I have to take this step. Otherwise, what can I do? I can't help myself. And you don't want to read my words. It’s nothing more than a painstaking effort, but instead he spits out blood and humiliates people in front of them!”
Yu Ye had leaked the existence of Jiao Dan, but when he met Chen Qi or the monks from Qizhou later, they didn't seem to know about it. It turned out that Bai Zhi was helping him secretly, which was really well-intentioned. And if what she said was true, wouldn't it mean that she owed her another favor?
Bai Zhi was quite sad and said, "You accused me of deliberately deceiving me. What did I lie to you about? You have no evidence, so how dare you accuse me of harming your people?"
Yu Ye shook his head and turned to refute: "You lied to me that you knew the whereabouts of Qiu Bo, but Qiu Bo is no longer alive. You should know clearly what your intentions are in hiding in Xingyuan Valley now!"
"Oh, have you found Jub?"
"No comment!"
"well--"
Bai Zhi sighed and said: "You should remember that I never said that I knew the whereabouts of Qiu Bo. I just knew a little bit about his origins. I reminded you at the time that Qiu Bo's bamboo stick was a big tree. Something unique to Zenan. Based on this, it is not difficult to guess that he should come from overseas. But you are ignorant, how can you express your anger at me for this? "
"oh……"
Yu Ye hesitated, bowed his head and said nothing.
Just like Bai Zhi said, this is the truth. Maybe he was disturbed at the time and didn't understand the meaning of her words.
"I have been in Xingyuan Valley for several months. What do you think I am trying to do? You returned to the village last night. Have your people been disturbed in the slightest?"
"If you had no intention, why did you stay in Xingyuan Valley for so long?"
"Wait for you!"
"wait for me?"
Yu Ye couldn't help but raise his head.
But he saw Bai Zhi staring at him, her pale face showing endless grievance, and said softly: "In order to get the Jiao Dan in you, Chen Qi colluded with Bu Yi to kill the master and many disciples. As her direct disciple, of course I want to ask you for an explanation."
Yu Ye said in shock: "What does this matter have to do with me?"
"Although Chen Qi and Bu Yi are the main culprits, the master died because of you, and the Taoist sect was destroyed because of you. How dare you say that this matter has nothing to do with you?"
"I……"
"I don't know when you will return home, so I can only wait on the spot. A few days ago, I happened to find two Qizhou monks wandering around. When I was paying attention secretly, I saw you trapped in a tight siege."
When Bai Zhi said this, her eyes welled up with tears, and she continued choking: "I couldn't bear to see you in danger, so I sacrificed my life to help you. Fortunately, the sword talisman that Master left me severely damaged a strong enemy, otherwise the outcome would be unpredictable. Life or death for those two Everyone is a master of the seventh or eighth level of Qi refining, and they are rampant in the vast swamp. Who would have thought that I risked my life to save you, but you would humiliate me instead..." The package on her shoulders and the long sword in her hand fell to the ground, carrying a full With tears on his face, he said sadly: "Aren't you going to kill me? Just do it!"
"No……"
He was quite surprised to see Bai Zhi again. But he made up his mind to stay away from this woman.
This is a lesson he learned through hardship!
Unexpectedly, his heart of stone disappeared in an instant, and his anger also disappeared. Because every word Bai Zhi said was difficult for him to refute and unable to question. Especially her sad and aggrieved look made it difficult for him to face it and made him feel embarrassed.
Could it be that she was wrongly blamed?
Although her words were flawless, there was always something unusual about her. And for a moment, I couldn’t explain the reason!
"It doesn't have to be this way!"
Yu Ye waved his hand and said in embarrassment: "Farewell!"
He took two steps back and tried to escape.
Bai Zhi said, "You haven't given me the explanation yet, how can you just leave?"
"How are you doing?"
"Apologise to me..."
"People in the mountains don't know how to speak. They are often offended, so don't worry about it..."
"Help me rebuild the Xuanhuang Mountain Taoist Gate!"
"What are you talking about...I'm not a disciple of Xuanhuang Mountain, so you can't even think about taking advantage of me!"
Yu Ye's eyes widened and his voice became louder.
There were still tears on Bai Zhi's face, but she said reluctantly: "I once promised Master to accept you as his disciple. Did you refuse at that time?"
Yu Ye thought for a while and said helplessly: "Not at all..."
At that moment, if he could become a Taoist disciple, he would be able to get out of this predicament. He had no reason to refuse while he was in jail.
"Master promised to accept you as his disciple before he died."
"How can this... be the same?"
"Since Master has agreed to accept you as his disciple, and you have also practiced my Taoist spells, from now on you will be a disciple of the Xuanhuang Mountain Taoist sect."
"When will I practice the Taoist magic?"
"Your Xuanhuang swordsmanship has far surpassed that of Guyu. He said it himself. Is it true? Before you were reborn and became a monk, how many pills from my Xuanhuang Mountain did you take? Do you dare to deny it?"
"..."
"I am the newly promoted master of Xuanhuang Mountain and your senior sister. Do you dare not listen to my words?"
"Whose senior sister are you? That's ridiculous! If I don't listen to you, what can you do to me!"
Yu Ye couldn't help but jump up.
Although he was at a loss for words, he was unwilling to be manipulated.
He turned and untied his horse.
Bai Zhi wiped away her tears and said disapprovingly: "You are now a Taoist master who is famous in Daze, a decisive and life-saving boy. Since you don't have senior sister in your eyes, what can senior sister do? I can only follow you!"
"snort!"
Yu Ye didn't dare to say anything more, he snorted, jumped on his horse, and hurried out of the forest.
Bai Zhi brushed back the messy hair on her cheeks and revealed a smile on her lips.
At this time, the morning light appeared.
She looked at the figure hurried away in the morning light and whispered to herself: "If it is a chance, it is destined by God; if it is a disaster, it is inevitable..."
