In the darkness, there was a sound of footsteps and breathing.
A faint light appeared ahead.
Looking closer, it's a cave entrance. The moonlight outside the cave is hazy and the vegetation is lush.
The sound of footsteps came, and two figures plopped down on the ground, still panting. Another person walked to the entrance of the cave and stood silently. Under the moonlight, his figure wearing a bamboo hat looked like a cold stone. But the two people sitting on the ground were caring for each other and whispering——
"Junior sister?"
"It's okay, senior brother?"
"It's no longer serious. I just hate that the three senior brothers have died, but I can't do anything about it. And the foundation-building experts are chasing me at any time, and the situation is precarious. Alas--"
"Senior brother, don't worry! You and I escaped underground, and by this time, we must have gotten rid of that expert."
"So what, Tiandan Peak has been destroyed, and you and I have nowhere to live..."
"Yu Ye..."
Hearing the call, Yu Ye turned around.
"Fellow Taoist Qingqing, do you have any advice?"
"There is no talk of giving advice between you and me. If you don't want to see anyone else, please sit down and talk!"
Yu Ye shook his head and sat down on the spot.
The two people in front of him were the Taoist disciples of Tiandan Peak, Yu Xin and Meng Qingqing. They met each other in Qingye Town, then parted ways, and then met in Beiqi Mountain, but Yu Ye still kept a distance from each other. Who would have thought that Kunshui Town would meet again, and he had to take action to save the two of them. For this purpose, four Dragon Subduing Talisman, one Earth Escape Talisman, the last Armor-breaking Talisman, and the only Golden Armor Talisman were consumed.
With these Taoist disciples, he is always the one who suffers in the end. Chen Qi is like this, Bai Zhi is like this, Taofeng, Yu Xin and Meng Qingqing are like this. It's okay to suffer a loss, but you can't be regarded as a fool.
"There were many rude things in the past, and my senior brother and I felt guilty, so we wanted to apologize in person, but it was a rare opportunity!"
Meng Qingqing is in her twenties, with fair complexion and delicate facial features. Although she doesn't like to talk, she has a straightforward temperament. Once she speaks out, she is quick to talk. She took out a piece of spiritual stone and handed it to Yu Ye, indicating: "In the battle at Qingye Town, you played the most important role; in the battle at Beiqi Mountain, you sacrificed your life to save others; tonight at the critical moment of life and death, it is you who stepped forward again. Qingqing and her senior brother have nothing to do with each other. In return, this spiritual stone is the only way to express my feelings!"
"this……"
Unexpectedly, Yu Ye hurriedly waved his hands and said: "It doesn't have to be like this..."
"Brother Yu!"
Yu Xin showed a wry smile and said: "I still have one spiritual stone, but I have absorbed half of it. If you don't mind it..." He took out a white spiritual stone from his arms and persuaded: "Take this spiritual stone too. Go ahead and try to make up for it!"
The brother and sister were pitiful, each only had one spiritual stone, but they gave it away, but they were sincere.
"No!"
Yu Ye looked embarrassed.
"Too little..."
"No!"
"Yu Ye, if there is anything wrong, just say it's okay..."
Yu Xin and Meng Qingqing also became uneasy, but still stretched out their hands to hand over the spirit stones.
Yu Ye couldn't refuse, and in a moment of desperation, he took out ten spiritual stones and placed them on the ground, indicating: "This is the result of last night's murder. The two of you have contributed a lot, and you have lost three senior brothers, so you should be compensated. What's more, I don't lack spiritual stones either..." After he said this, he simply took out two more flying swords.
"Brother Yu, this..."
"Yu Ye, I didn't expect you to be so generous!"
The brother and sister no longer cared about being modest and hurriedly picked up the spirit stone and flying sword. They looked at each other and smiled, both of them were overjoyed.
Yu Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But I heard someone in the sea sigh: "Oh, why bother? I just want to save face and suffer..."
Yu Ye was silently embarrassed and speechless.
He doesn't like to suffer losses, but he also doesn't like to receive favors from others. In other words, he didn't want to bear too many grudges. The road ahead is still long.
The sky is getting brighter.
The three of them walked out of the cave.
Where we are is in a valley. Although the morning light is emerging, the surrounding mountains and forests are still dark and hazy.
"You two..."
Yu Ye raised his hands to say goodbye.
Yu Xin and Meng Qingqing's faces were a little pale, and it was obvious that their internal injuries had not healed. The two of them raised their heads and glanced at the sky, then spoke out——
"Where are brothers going?"
"Yu Ye, why don't we go together?"
"My mount is still at the inn. Do you two want to follow me back to Kunshui Town?"
"this……"
"My senior brother is saying that Tiandan Peak has been destroyed, all the disciples have been killed and injured, and there is no place to live in Daze. If you have a way to go, the two of us are willing to go together!"
Yu Ye hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to go overseas..."
Yu Xin and Meng Qingqing exchanged glances. They were quite excited and nodded in unison.
"My brother and sister have this intention!"
Yu Ye lowered his head and wandered, thinking in silence.
He just wanted to go overseas alone, but before he could do it, he found two more friends. But just as what was said, Tiandan Peak was once again wiped out. Yu Xin and Meng Qingqing had nowhere to live, so there was a way out overseas. And if the two of them have decided to leave, he can't stop them. If they go together, there may be someone to take care of them on the way.
Yu Ye thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Yu Xin and Meng Qingqing were overjoyed, but they also had their own difficulties and worries. The two of them were still injured and were unable to return to Kunshui Town. But Yu Ye returned alone, fearing that something unexpected would happen to him. Yu Ye disagreed. According to him, the Qizhou monks split up to retaliate against various Taoist sects. Although they were aggressive, they were short of manpower. He had killed four people in a row last night, and the only remaining foundation-building expert could not stand alone. As long as you are careful here, the material will be fine. What's more, he didn't just want to get his mount back, he also wanted to find out the truth. After hearing what he said, the two senior brothers and sisters agreed deeply, so he returned to Kunshui Town to take care of related matters, and then met at the agreed place...
An hour later.
Yu Ye was already walking on the streets of Kunshui Town.
The valley where he hid before was only more than ten miles away from Kunshui Town, which was half an hour's journey. He returned to the town without much trouble.
He did not return to the inn, but went straight to the west end of the town.
In the blink of an eye, he saw the yard from last night, but the walls had collapsed, the house had collapsed, and the ground was covered with rubble. Surrounded by a group of busybodies, everyone stretched out their heads to watch the excitement. The corpses outside the courtyard wall and in the courtyard had disappeared, leaving only a few burnt ashes.
Yu Ye hid in the crowd and looked around.
No monks were seen in the town.
As expected, there were five monks who came to take revenge on Tiandan Peak this time. They first chased and killed the disciples of Tiandan Peak, causing them to flee in all directions. However, they persisted in trying to catch Yu Xin and others to gather together, and then the four refining qi The monks besieged them, and then the foundation-building experts took action, trying to kill them all without missing a beat. Who would have expected that Yu Ye's appearance would bring such a perfect and vicious strategy to a halt.
Now that expert has suffered a big loss and may have gone away.
What is interesting is that Bu Yi and Gan Xing did not seem to participate in this crazy massacre. If this is the case, it will be difficult for the Qizhou side to control Daze with only two foundation-building monks...
Yu Ye looked around for a moment, then turned and walked towards a small courtyard.
Knocking on the red painted courtyard door, an old man greeted him. A few horses were tied up in the shaded yard.
According to Yu Xin's explanation, this is a foothold for the Tiandan Peak Taoist Gate. Although the old man guarding the door is old, he is also a Taoist disciple. If you tell him the incision, he will obey orders.
"The Heavenly Pill Thousand Peaks Show."
"Kunshui becomes red in one day."
At the incision, Yu Ye led two horses.
The old man walked to the door and asked in a low voice: "When will junior brother and junior sister come back?"
"Ah... when you come back, you should come back!"
Yu Ye said something perfunctory, but when he saw the old man's eyes were red and his expression was sad, he couldn't help but feel soft, took out two bottles of pills and handed them over.
"Fellow Taoist, take care!"
The old man clutched the elixir bottle tightly and trembled in his mouth: "When you come back, you should come back..."
Yu Ye went straight to the inn.
He retrieved his mount and bought horse feed, food, oilcloth, mattresses and other items along the way. He also bought several sets of clothes and boots, and then rushed out of the town with the two horses.
There are two more companions on the way, which will inevitably lead to a lot of trouble.
He regretted a little, maybe Jiao Ying was right...
Dusk.
Yu Ye rushed to a small valley a hundred miles away.
In the valley, surrounded by streams, the scenery is beautiful.
Yu Xin and Meng Qingqing had already used the Light Body Technique and were one step ahead. Although they were exhausted, they were smiling and waving at him.
The three of them gathered together again.
Yu Ye handed the oilcloth, food, and mat to Yu Xin, and took out a gift ring and gave it to Meng Qingqing. After talking for a few words, he got up and left alone.
Night falls.
The moonlight is still there.
Yu Ye was strolling leisurely and glanced back.
The brother and sister were still injured and tired from the journey, so they were busy practicing without disturbing each other.
Yu Ye sat down by the stream and reached out to pick off his bamboo hat.
Looking at the moonlight in the sky, I felt empty for a moment. And thinking about the next trip, I suddenly felt inexplicably irritated. Going overseas is exciting to talk about, but how to cross the sea to reach Qizhou and what kind of dangers you will encounter. It can be said that the future is uncertain and the fortune and misfortune are unpredictable...
Yu Ye shook his head, and there were four more gift rings in front of him.
This is the result of last night's murder. Among them are ten or twenty spiritual stones, more than forty Lihuo Talisman, eight Dragon Subduing Talisman, two Earth Escape Talisman, more than a dozen bottles of pills, several flying swords, and Kung Fu. Dharma jade slips and personal belongings, etc. Although they gave Yu Xin brothers and sisters ten spiritual stones, there were still a lot of remaining spiritual stones.
The Dragon Subduing Talisman and the Earth Escape Talisman are an unexpected surprise. In particular, the Earth Escape Talisman was his only means of escape after running out of armor-breaking talismans.
Yu Ye looked at the Nawu Ring, and the depression in his heart suddenly relaxed a little.
But I heard someone in the sea of knowledge sneer: "Your eyes widen when you see wealth, you are secretly happy when you see things, your head is full of murderous thoughts, and you are thinking about calculations all day long. How can you look like a monk? You are clearly a little thief who kills people and steals goods!"
"I……"
Yu Ye was slightly startled.
"Have I wronged you?"
Then I heard the dragon shadow sigh——
"Oh, not to be happy with things, not to feel sad for oneself, not to think about the past, not to be afraid of the future, this is where the heart of the Tao lies. How dare you forget it!"
"oh……"
Yu Ye seemed to have been given a slap in the face. His thoughts turned cold and he felt at peace, but then he asked again——
"Jiaoying, how is your progress in practicing "Nine Escapes of Heaven and Earth"? Have you gained anything from the formations and "Tianjin Technique"?
Before he finished speaking, he heard a complaint: "Oh, can you take a rest for a while? You want to exhaust me to death..."
