quiet.
Twelve minutes of silence.
So quiet that you can hear your heartbeat and breathing clearly.
After being quiet for a while, I heard a "呲拉" sound, and an earthquake shook my body. It was the sound of the zhenqi sword cutting into the ground.
There was no thumb snap as imagined.
The white jade hand, with its five fingers spread out and clear bones, tightly grasped a small jade inkstone, or perhaps a slightly larger token.
It won't be a finger-clasping gesture anyway.
In fact, he didn't even have to look up at her face. Just by feeling the plumpness on his back and recognizing the aroma of peony and begonia leaves, Mu Haotian knew that the person who saved him was undoubtedly Senior Sister Ting'er. .
It can’t be said that he was disappointed or surprised, he was just very curious:
How did the senior sister use her sword without a single blow, without saying a word, just raising a hand and flashing a piece of jade, causing the old ghost who hated him to his bones to suddenly stop the attacking body, and the sword's aura quickly turned and slashed into the ground, and even that The scars that pierced the entire face couldn't hide the owner's shock?
How did she do it?
This confusion attracted Mu Haotian so much that he temporarily forgot to pursue other matters and took a closer look at the things in the senior sister's hands.
But it was really just a piece of jade.
"Qinglong summoning order..."
The slightly trembling sharp voice of the old ghost from Xishan solved Mu Haotian's confusion:
"You are from the Long family!"
Mu Ting listened indifferently and without even looking at him, she hung the token on her waist and stretched out her hands to press and caress the joints of Mu Haotian's body.
Ask him softly: "Does it hurt here?"
"Senior sister...senior sister..."
Mu Haotian muttered with a dull expression.
Hearing the old ghost's words, he was surprised at first, and then felt ridiculous:
"Senior Sister Ting'er has been taking care of me and Xue Yanyuying since we were young. How can she be from the Long family?"
In the end, the confusion was relieved, and the meaning of the word "Long Family" was realized——
——It turns out that the jade tablet represents the Long family. No wonder the vicious old ghost dare not cross the thunder pool even half a step.
etc……
Long family? Is it the Long family that offered a reward for Han Wenjing?
That first generation family that dominates Cangzhou?
The Qinglong Order, in the name of the head of the Long family, can summon any powerful people in Cangzhou, or even anyone in Kyushu who is willing to betray the Long family's face. It can also order heroes to take action in times of crisis. It is said that it is only allowed to direct members of the family?
What? Senior sister, she is actually from the Long family?
The questions went round and round and returned to the original point.
Mu Haotian's thoughts, which had finally come to his senses, were thrown into confusion by the appearance of the object. He looked at the pretty and charming face of his senior sister who was taking a breath, and was slightly startled.
The moonlight was not yet over, and dark clouds were covering the scene. A few pieces of gentle moonlight leaked from between the clouds, covering the woman's graceful brows, making her look pure and spotless.
After Mu Ting showed her token, she remained indifferent and focused on checking Mu Haotian's injuries, without commenting on the old ghost's assertion.
In fact, there are two controllers of the Qinglong Order. As far as Mu Haotian knows, only one of them is "only given to direct descendants". The other is a person who receives the order to help the Long family. The token is like a written document, which means that the Long family owes him a What a huge favor.
Because those who are qualified to take over a summoning order on their own are all famous powerful men from various factions. Therefore, even though the old ghost knew this thoroughly, he subconsciously ruled out the second possibility and only assumed that Mu Ting was a direct descendant of the Long family. .
After a while, Mu Ting finished the inspection and found that although Mu Haotian's fall was quite scary, there were no serious injuries on his body, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing him looking at her blankly again, she smiled at him, helped him stand up, and asked:
"Xiaotian, can you move around?"
Mu Haotian nodded - he was not seriously ill, just a little weak.
Mu Ting supported him, ignored the danger, turned around, and walked towards Mu Dingzhen and others, leaving Xishan Old Ghost and Pei Zhi staring at each other.
Mu Haotian felt a little uneasy, tilted his head and looked behind, nervously on guard. He noticed that the two men were whispering secretly, and he wanted to hear if they were planning something.
Things became familiar after that, a breeze blew through the ears, and the two people's deliberately lowered voices were immediately heard clearly.
Just listen to Pei Zhi say:
"What bullshit Long family? You are not afraid of me!"
There was a soft snap sound, as if the move was blocked.
The old ghost said solemnly:
"If the Qinglong Order is moved, you and I will not be able to leave Cangzhou."
There was silence for a while.
Pei Zhi cursed a few words in an incomprehensible tone, obviously still unconvinced.
Suddenly, he let out a groan of pain!
Mu Haotian couldn't help but turn around and saw Pei Zhi half-kneeling on the ground, his shoulders trembling.
The old ghost said:
"What’s wrong with you!"
Pei Zhi slowed down and gritted his teeth and said:
"That kid is weird!"
The old ghost said:
"I know, let's go first."
Pei Zhidao:
"Where is the person who brought us here? Why didn't he show up?"
Mu Haotian was shocked:
"It turns out that their appearance here is no coincidence!"
But here his hearing returned to normal, and he was unable to hear clearly the subsequent conversation between the two people.
Not long after, Pei Zhi's undisguised but unwilling snort came from behind him, and he finally felt relieved.
It seems that the "Long Family" sign is really useful.
Mu Haotian's body was weak and he walked for a short time in just a dozen steps. He kept paying close attention to the rear, but Mu Ting didn't care at all. She led him outside the gate of the wing, and then sat cross-legged behind Mu Dingzhen. She pressed her palms flatly on the acupoints on his back blades to draw in the true energy to help him heal his injuries.
Mu Dingzhen's clothes and mouth were stained with blood, and it looked like he was seriously injured. Just now, he was injured by Ba Teng and was helped back by Jing Ling and others, but he held on until he saw the crisis was resolved, then he closed his eyes and performed his martial arts.
The three Wang siblings were all leaning against the door in fear. Jing Ling poked her head out, her tearful eyes glistening, looking at Senior Brother Mu with concern and wanting to speak.
Mu Haotian didn't notice, he was so weak that he sat down next to his master, calmly looking ahead.
When he saw Pei Zhi's flying figure from afar and the twisted and ugly vine, he suddenly remembered the reason why that happened:
Why did the "Faerie Heart" try to fight back at that time, but failed in the end?
At the moment when Ba Teng rushed in and all movements slowed down, when his head was about to be smashed by a blow, Pei Zhi suddenly changed his moves and manipulated Ba Teng to turn downwards, slamming down at his feet. On masonry.
The huge shock force flew his body away, and then Ba Teng chased after him, pulled him down, and hit him hard! In an instant, his mind went blank and he was confused. It took a long time before he gradually recovered.
"But why did Pei Zhi change his tactics like this? Did he actually see through it?"
"Then how did he discover my secret? And how did he learn about the flaw in the 'Faerie Heart'?"
Mu Haotian kept thinking, but couldn't figure it out.
"Faerie Heart" only reacts when life is in danger, so as long as it is not lethal, it can avoid counterattacks.
Even Master Mu Dingzhen is not clear about this. He himself was bitten by Han Wenjing not long ago, and he has just realized it. Pei Zhi, who had clearly planned to kill him from the beginning, changed his mind at the last moment. Is his spiritual awareness so sharp?
Suddenly, I remembered the information about Ba Teng that the old ghost told me. It seemed that Pei Zhi came from the overseas Vine tribe, and the practice he practiced was called "The Death Body and Soul Receiving Technique", which was a type of "ancient evil art".
This kind of cultivation method that he had never heard of might be the reason.
But he knew nothing about these hidden sects, and there were too many questions in his mind at the moment, like fog and numbness, and there was no way to clarify them one by one. He shook his head and stopped thinking about it, and began to adjust his skills. interest.
In his confused thinking, he subconsciously ran the "Qi Sea Grows Lotus" in the first volume of "Four Nine Mysterious Techniques".
In an instant, a warm, soft, and extremely mysterious "qi" poured into his body.
The "qi" enters from the mouth and nose, along the trachea, reaches the chest, and moistens the whole body. Intangible, colorless and tasteless, it was like air, better than air, naturally flowing through the meridians of his body. Wherever it passes, there is no pain and pain, and it is indescribably comfortable and refreshing.
He understood the taste of the marrow and felt hungry and thirsty, so he followed the current and let it flow. The clear air circulated in his body for a full circle, eliminating many injuries.
It wasn't until the air flow finally gathered in his Dantian and reached the mouth of the sea of air that he tried to rush in, but couldn't find the way. Pain suddenly shot up in his abdomen, and he finally woke up.
Startled, he opened his eyes quickly, and a faint green light flashed through his eyes.
As he stopped exercising, the gathered air flow lost its guidance and could not be traced. It quickly retreated from the mouth of the sea of air and dispersed into the hundreds of veins in his limbs.
After Mu Haotian came to his senses, he was surprised and happy, and almost cheered. Ever since he got the "Four Nine Mysterious Techniques", he has been operating step by step without knowing any secrets. He has never had time to ask his master for advice.
Who would have thought that by mistake, he could complete the crucial first step of spiritual cultivation - "introducing the spirit into the body" in a daze.
In the end, although he didn't know the method, he couldn't take a step closer - to complete the "refining Qi", fusing the aura of heaven and earth with the energy of the human body itself, and turning it into "Qi of true essence" that can cast mid-to-low-level spells.
But this one successful experience already made him feel extremely happy.
As the saying goes, practice brings out the truth. It is better to practice it once than to deduce it a hundred times. This true "day in a week" has already benefited a lot from the future practice.
In fact, in the future, as long as he runs for a few more weeks based on this experience, he will be able to complete the first "refining gas" and officially enter the "qi storage period", which is just around the corner.
After a while, Mu Hao finally stopped imagining and returned to reality. He remembered what happened tonight and quickly looked around.
The moon is close to the sky and the stars are gone.
The surroundings were silent, the wind had stopped, and everything under the black sky was lifeless. It seemed like dawn was approaching.
The master is still meditating aside, his face is rosy, and his whole body is full of energy. It seems that his injury has improved a lot.
Senior Sister Ting'er is no longer here.
Mu Haotian was slightly startled, and then he looked forward and saw her in the yard, shuttling among the white shadows - the villagers whose souls were controlled by the old ghost using strange methods.
The three Wang siblings are also with her and are assisting in the rescue.
"Senior Sister Ting'er."
Mu Haotian stood up, called out, and wanted to go over and help.
Take one step forward and suddenly freeze!
His limbs, internal organs, body surface, and deep inside were all occupied by a sudden coldness that penetrated to the bone marrow, and fear invaded silently.
Just because he suddenly realized something:
It’s been so long…
Where are Ying'er and Yan'er?
