In fact, what he didn't know was that Mu Xueqing was meditating on the surface, but actually she was in a state of confusion.
Because today was the day to officially open the Sumeru Box and release the breath of the Yin River water according to the plan of Ergong Le and Uncle Master, so she was currently in the middle of a battle between heaven and man.
Although she knew that the method discussed by the Second Young Master Le and his uncle was the best way to save Linhai City. But looking at these ignorant and busy casual cultivators in front of her, she felt unspeakably heavy.
It is said that in front of the Second Young Master Le and his uncle, he answered so decisively that he must have been extremely convinced in his heart.
But looking back, although she had made enough sacrifices and awareness, these people who followed her had no idea what they were going to face.
For them, if they turn around and lose their lives in the hands of demons, then what does it mean to them?
Mu Xueqing felt extremely confused for a moment. She was telling herself that she had done a great deed by saving the safety of a whole city.
On the other hand, I asked myself, by wasting the lives of these people, didn't I just commit murder? How many scriptures do I need to recite to redeem myself?
Qian Yunsheng was also standing next to a big tree, looking at the distant blue waves and the thin white line formed by the collision between the dark rocks, and suddenly felt that he might not be able to return to Linhai City.
Qin Yu came closer with a smile, only to find Qian Yunsheng's melancholy face, and said in shock: "Brother Qian has something on his mind?"
Qian Yunsheng withdrew his gaze, shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother Qin, don't you think it's strange? A few months ago, I went to Linhai City through this road. I didn't expect that I would leave Linhai City through this road now."
Qin Yu didn't hear a hint of desolation from his mouth, but thought he was feeling emotional, and said with a smile: "I'm just leaving temporarily. When I complete the task and return to Linhai City, I'll treat you to a drink of flower wine, brother."
Qian Yunsheng also looked at Qin Yu with a smile, and asked casually as if chatting:
"I've always been curious. You said that we casual cultivators have never seen any big scenes. We were sent to Jixia City this time. Aren't you afraid that we will lose face to Linhai City?"
Qin Yu said with a chuckle:
"What's so strange about this? Didn't Amber make it clear that we are just protecting Miss Mu on the road? When we get to Jixia City, Miss Mu, Gui Lao and He Lao will be there to deal with it, so nothing will happen to us. .”
Qian Yunsheng withdrew his gaze and lowered his eyes slightly. There was an indescribable desolation in his eyes, as if he was tired of all the intrigues and dog-fighting in this world.
His heart felt slightly cold, and he continued to ask without giving up: "With our little skills, I'm afraid we're not even qualified to carry Miss Mu's shoes. How can we be her bodyguards?"
"Besides, from what I've seen in the past few days, Mr. Turtle and Mr. He are also top-notch in skills. It would be nice for us to follow them and not be regarded as a burden."
Qin Yu touched his head naively and said:
"I'm also wondering about this. I heard that Elder Gui and Elder He also have a secret joint attack technique, which can even exert greater strength than the two of them. Now that they have been sent here, it seems that we are really redundant."
After speaking, he patted his head again and said suddenly:
"Hey, maybe Amber saw that we made such a great contribution in the past few days, so he rewarded us in disguise? Don't you see that along the way, we almost looked like we were just touring the mountains and rivers?"
"Perhaps it's a lie that Amber asked us to escort Miss Mu this time, and it's true that he can find a reason to arrange for us extra rewards."
"You must know that each of us has actually obtained a high-quality talisman. It is not easy for even me to get a high-quality talisman."
Qin Yu's answer made Qian Yunsheng even more convinced of the extreme danger of this trip. His eyes were full of coldness and he asked tentatively:
"I heard that Linhai City could stop previous demonic disasters by itself. Why do you have to ask Jixia City for help this time?"
Qin Yu's eyes flashed, and the two of them came closer, and then said: "You don't know yet, I heard that the ancestor of the Le family wanted to retreat and make another breakthrough in order to prepare for this demonic disaster."
"But I heard that our ancestor has been in retreat for several years, and there is still no news. This is a unique thing in previous years."
"I think the second master is also worried that if our ancestor cannot come out of seclusion this time, we will be short of high-end combat power, so we begged the Ashan sect."
"Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that people from the Ashan Sect would appear in Linhai City one after another?"
Qian Yunsheng raised his face and smiled. He didn't know whether he really believed Qin Yu's words, or mocked him for such a lame excuse, or wanted to ask for more information and continued to ask tentative questions. road:
"That's true, but since we have the Ashan sect as our backup, there's no need to ask Jixia City for help, right?"
Qin Yu said with a smile: "You don't know this, right? The Ashan sect is a major sect of Buddhism. What they focus on is subduing and eliminating demons. They can deal with demons harshly. You see, Miss Mu is even willing to give up her magic weapon."
"But it is not possible for monsters. After all, monsters are also spiritual beings in the world. God has the virtue of good life, and they are not willing to kill them at will."
"So they can only help us protect Linhai City. As for fighting off the monsters, we can't rely on them. We have to ask Jixia City to help us."
Qin Yu's words seemed to leave Qian Yunsheng no longer in doubt. He frowned and said with a pun that was half mocking and half teasing: "It seems that even for the people of Linhai City, it is worth our trip?"
On the other side,
A fisherman dressed as a fisherman took the opportunity to lend a hand and approached another man with a mustache in red and whispered: "Brother Wang, have you found out any news in the past few days?"
"My little brother is really useless. I have been making insinuations for a long time, but I haven't come up with any useful information."
"It's just that the City Lord's Mansion is a bit too generous. I've never seen them so generous. This makes me feel flustered all the time. I always feel like something is going to happen."
The bearded man in red clothes tightly tied the tent branches tightly with his hands, and said angrily:
"Dear me, these people are as smart as monkeys. When asked key questions, they become silent. With so many of us setting off together, the formation is too big. No matter how I look at it, I don't think it's right."
Seeing everyone's resonance, the fisherman-like dark-faced man nodded and said sadly: "The key is that we don't even know what is going to happen. It's really sad. We can't even prepare in advance."
The bearded man said: "It's nothing more than selling my life to them!"
"When the time comes, highlight your moves. If something good happens, don't rush up. When you need to explore the road, try to get together as a group and don't spread out. Anyway, be careful to wake up if you see anything strange."
The fisherman-like dark-faced man nodded in his mind, feeling that the mustached man was experienced, so he chatted with him for a few more words, then gave up pretending to help the mustachioed man, and quietly went to touch another person.
...
In the city lord's palace, a maroon mare was hiding in a corner of the stable and shivering.
On the ground, a human corpse stared blankly at the sky with two empty eyes. His body was lying weakly on the side holding the fodder.
Beside him, a pool of black water was flowing out of the skin of a black horse and into the body of the horse herder, Old Zhao.
After a while, Lao Zhao's body became energetic. He first stretched out his hands, then opened his legs, and finally stood up with a grunt.
It first felt the new body as it got used to it, then waved and took the black horsehide into its hand.
Then he smiled and opened a big mouth that was even bigger than his own face. Countless densely packed teeth in the mouth were squeezed together. He threw his hand away and swallowed the entire black horsehide. .
After swallowing, he licked his lips with unsatisfied interest before Shi Shiran walked out.
Just now, he felt that the breath of Yin River water had left Linhai City far away.
That's why he borrowed Lao Zhao's skin to go out of the city easily.
After he swallowed the horsehide, he clapped his hands, walked out quietly, and disappeared after a while.
