In the cold wind, five figures walked through the wilderness.
The leaders were an old man and a woman in her thirties.
Although the old man is old, he rises and falls only five or six feet, and his movements are as fast as the wind. The woman is wearing plain clothes and a long skirt, without any pink or pink. She looks like a peasant woman, but she has the same flying figure.
The two women who followed him were tall and pretty; the other was dressed as a man and wore a burqa. The two of them walked side by side, both with elegant figures, like peaches and plums competing for glory, adding a moving scenery to the winter wilderness.
The one who lagged behind was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old man. Even though he used his lightening technique with all his strength, he was still thrown down twenty or thirty feet. But he didn't use the wind control talisman, he just chased after him silently.
We slept in the valley last night and rushed to Lanling City this morning.
In order to avoid leaking their whereabouts, in addition to dressing up, they had to abandon the teleportation array and walk instead. They divided the twelve disciples into three groups and agreed on a meeting place to gather after arriving at Lanling City. Pu Tong, Jing Fu, and Xue Tao went to explore the way first, Bian Ji, Lu Zheng, Chen Qi, Gu Muzi, and Ming Ye stayed in the middle to support them, while Mo Xiao followed up with Che Ju, Bai Zhi, Leng Chen, and Yu Ye.
Once on a trip, my taste completely changed. Becoming mysterious and acting furtively.
Lanling City is five thousand miles away, still half a month away...
At dusk, a city appeared ahead.
The five people did not enter the city, but took a long detour until nightfall, when they stopped.
The place where they slept was a bare mountain. There were no people near or far, only the cold wind kept whining in the darkness.
Mo Xiao explained a few words and sat cross-legged on a stone.
Everyone took a rest.
Bai Zhi and Che Ju sat together and took the opportunity to ask for advice on how to practice. Senior Sister Che took good care of her and always answered her questions.
Leng Chen became much more cautious. He chose to sit down facing the wind, nodded with Yu Ye, and slowly closed his eyes.
Yu Ye was sitting a few feet away, with a hint of helplessness in his tired look.
It's enough to run more than three hundred miles in one breath without stopping. I also have to chase several fellow disciples for fear of getting separated along the way and delaying the journey. This is far more energy-consuming than traveling alone.
Another thing is, when sleeping in the open, you are not allowed to set up formations without authorization, so as not to reveal the identity of the disciples of the Immortal Sect.
That Uncle Mo is cautious!
Yu Ye took out a spiritual stone and couldn't help but glance at it.
Mo Xiao did not breathe in and out, but looked into the distance silently. There was no moon in the sky, and there was darkness in all directions. I don’t know what she is looking at or thinking about...
The cold night is not over yet, and the sky is still dark.
The five Taoists left the mountain and hurriedly disappeared into the morning mist.
For two consecutive days, I saw towns or villages on the way and still took a detour.
In the evening of the third day, a large river blocked the way.
Mo Xiao took out a jade slip and examined it, then followed the river bank to find a ferry.
Under the setting sun, the river is surging. There was no one in Yedu, only a broken boat and a lonely old tree. There is a stone tablet engraved with the words "Baishui Crossing" leaning crookedly under the tree.
Mo Xiao searched for a moment and then jumped onto the branches of the old tree.
The old tree should be a type of pine and cypress, which does not lose its leaves in winter. The trunk is five to six feet high and is very strong. The branches are leafy and the crown is like an umbrella.
Yu Ye walked to the river with Leng Chen, Bai Zhi, and Che Ju.
The cold wind is getting tighter, and rapid waves are rolling up on the wide river. The dusk is getting darker, and darkness is shrouded in all directions...
Mo Xiao floated down from the tree, with two small stones in his hand.
The four disciples turned around and faced him.
Then Mo Xiaofen said: "This is the secret note left by Pu Tong and Bian Ji, indicating that they arrived here successfully and left one after another!"
A group of thirteen people were divided into three groups and rushed on the road. They communicated by secret message along the way, which was both simple and secretive.
"Bang, bang——"
Mo Xiao crushed the stone, clapped his hands, and said with a relaxed smile: "I have traveled thousands of miles in three days, thank you for your hard work!"
Five people were sitting under the tree to rest.
“It’s normal to eat and sleep in the open when you’re away from home!”
"Uncle Master, it's the hard work!"
"What the senior sister said is absolutely true! The hard work of the senior uncle is the hardest!"
Leng Chen, Che Ju, and Bai Zhi each agreed.
Mo Xiao nodded slightly and said: "Yu Ye——"
Yu Ye sat alone by the stone tablet, lowering his head and saying nothing. Ever since he reported Zhan Kun and was reprimanded, he had stayed away from Uncle Mo. Although the other party is reasonable, he is still the elder of Yunchuan Xianmen after all.
He then heard: "Among the thirty-six disciples, you are young and have low cultivation level. Logically speaking, you should not be recruited into the inner sect. I am hiding my selfish motives!"
Yu Ye looked at Mo Xiao, not knowing how to respond.
She should be about the same age as Leng Chen, but due to her cultivation, she looks younger. Her expression was as usual, but her words were a little more solemn——
"There are countless elite disciples in the Immortal Sect, but it is rare for the weak to defeat the strong. You injured Ming Ye with a ruthless method and murderous intent. You are like a seasoned master. If you hadn't just At the age of eighteen, and with my secret obstruction, you were expelled from the mountain gate on the day of the mid-year competition. As expected, you killed Qi refining masters one after another in the Kongtong realm. Thanks to your great achievements, Otherwise, you will not be able to escape the scrutiny of the Mu Daotang. I was afraid that you would go astray, so I took you with me. But you secretly plotted against Ming Ye, reported Zhan Kun, and broke into the Fengyun Valley forbidden area without permission. If you didn't cause a big disaster, you would You won’t give up!”
Mo Xiao's words were still gentle, but with an edge.
Just like the cold wind in the wilderness blowing on the body, it makes people unable to escape and at a loss.
Yu Ye couldn't help scratching his head. He felt unbearably hot and like a light on his back. He couldn't help but want to jump up from the ground and run away.
I thought he was hidden deep enough and acted carefully enough, but I didn't expect that his every move had already aroused the attention and suspicion of the Immortal Sect.
However, although the Immortal Sect was suspicious, they did not know his true origin, otherwise they should have concealed the matter. Maybe Mo Xiao felt that the trip was going well and was in a relaxed mood for a while, so out of good intentions, he took the opportunity to give him a few words?
"Yu Ye, no matter what happens to you in the future, don't go astray, otherwise I, the elder, will be blamed!"
There was a little more worry in Mo Xiao's words.
"hehe!"
Leng Chen laughed at the right time and said: "Junior brother seems to be taciturn and behaves strangely, but in fact he is young and mature and worries about the safety of the Immortal Sect all day long. Junior brother -" He nodded towards Yu Ye and reminded: "Uncle is rare For showing such preference for you, you should thank her for her sincere teachings!"
Yu Ye did not dare to pretend to be deaf and mute, so he stood up in a hurry and said respectfully: "Thank you, uncle, for your teaching, and thank you, senior brother Leng, for your care!"
Mo Xiao suddenly turned cold and shouted: "Leng Chen, am I very old?"
Although Leng Chen is familiar with the world, he may not know how to flatter women. His face was stunned and he quietly turned away.
Mo Xiao snorted and closed his eyes.
This foundation-building senior is always patient and gentle when dealing with his disciples, but he has a fiery temper in front of his classmates whom he has known for many years!
Yu Ye froze on the spot, embarrassed.
Che Ju and Bai Zhi didn't dare to say anything, and shook their heads at him.
Yu Ye had no choice but to turn around and walk away silently.
A man came to the river embankment and sat down cross-legged, looking at the flowing water and the cold wind blowing. He couldn't help but fall into deep thought again...
Nothing happened all night.
Leave Baishuidu in the early morning and continue on your way.
We stayed at Xiaoxing like this, and three more days passed in the blink of an eye.
When we arrived at Shilibao, it was already dark.
Mo Xiao learned from Mo Xiao that it was a long way to Lanling City. In order to facilitate communication, they agreed on five places to deliver the news, namely Baishuidu, Shilibao, Yandangkou, Hengshuiyi and Liangjieshan.
Shilibao is an abandoned village located in a valley.
Everyone rushed here just as a crescent moon climbed up to the horizon. Under the hazy night, a stone bridge can be seen.
Mo Xiao found two small stones in the bridge cave. As she said, both groups of disciples were safe and sound. Let's rest here for the night and rush to Yandangkou, thousands of miles away, tomorrow morning.
The river under the bridge has long since dried up, and the grass beside the bridge is flat. Not far from the small bridge, old trees are crooked, broken walls and ruins are desolate.
That should be the abandoned Shili Fort, and the village back then has now become a ruin.
Next to the bridge is a dirt road that goes across the valley.
Mo Xiao checked around and found nothing unusual, so he and the four disciples sat on the grass beside the bridge to rest.
Monks sleep in the open air without making fires, cooking, or joking. They lose the worldly pleasures and have more loneliness and hardship in practice.
Yu Ye is not afraid of loneliness or hardship. He was originally a poor boy and has long been accustomed to living in the open air. What he likes is a person's loneliness and a person's freedom. Being under the supervision of his elders, he had to be careful everywhere and felt very constrained.
The night is getting darker.
Yu Ye let out a breath and took out a spiritual stone again.
With full absorption, a spiritual stone can be consumed in three days and nights. His cultivation at the fifth level of Qi Refining seems to have improved by one point. According to his current progress, he should be able to reach the sixth level of Qi Refining this year. But he still couldn't catch up with Chen Qi's cultivation, and building a foundation was even further out of reach.
Well, don’t be too ambitious!
There is ample time!
Yu Ye calmed down his mind and started practicing.
In the night wind, there was suddenly a "rustling" sound, like the sound of rain, which gradually became denser. And the bright moon in the sky is like a hook, and the night is clear?
At the same time, another shrill howl sounded——
"Woo..."
Yu Ye was suddenly startled.
Then he heard Mo Xiao shout: "Leave this place——"
Several figures around him had already sped away.
Yu Ye jumped up in a hurry, but saw Mo Xiao and others stopped again.
Groups of long snakes emerged from the valley. They were so densely packed that there were probably tens of thousands of them, and they were constantly spitting out fishy mist. In an instant, the thick poisonous mist blocked the moonlight and blocked everyone's way. And vaguely, hundreds or even thousands of black shadows were seen surging in, already surrounding them...
Mo Xiao shouted urgently: "Tudun——"
When you are suddenly attacked, besieged on all sides, and the opponent is unknown, in a critical situation, it is undoubtedly a wise choice to escape from this place with the help of Earth Escape.
But before she could stop shouting, her feet shook, the earth and rocks cracked, and more than ten monsters emerged from the ground.
Covered by poisonous mist, surrounded by beasts, and with no way out, the five Immortal Sect disciples suddenly fell into a desperate situation...
