When Mu Qingling woke up, she found herself in a cave. The fire burning nearby was crackling, dispelling the cold and making it very warm.
The spirit deer nestled lazily not far from the fire, seemingly sleeping soundly.
"Are you awake? Don't move, adjust your breath." Bai Ze helped Mu Qingling sort out her meridians behind her. When the girl heard the words, she immediately closed her eyes and silently practiced her mental skills to adjust her breath and internal injuries.
Three moments later, Bai Ze regained his breath, and his energy subsided in his dantian. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, stood up, sat down by the fire, and ruffled the kudzu roots and a dozen frogs he had roasted.
Mu Qingling adjusted her breath for a moment, and when she smelled the alluring aroma of the cave, she couldn't help but move her index finger. She opened her watery eyes and asked Bai Ze, "Where is this?"
Bai Ze separated the roasted frogs and kudzu roots from her and said, "Still in Dushan. You have been in a coma for two days. I was really afraid that you wouldn't wake up. Fortunately, you woke up."
"Two days!" Mu Qingling exclaimed.
"Don't worry, we are already on the way back to the city." Bai Ze chuckled, "We can leave Dushan by tomorrow at most. I took a detour, and I definitely can't go to Lefeng Town. I plan to take Longxu Gou, take you back to Heyang from there."
"Thank you very much." Mu Qingling took a small bite of the frog and found that the taste was sweet, tender and extremely delicious. She couldn't help but ate it. She was half full, and then she remembered to ask about Bai Ze's situation.
"When the spiritual formation was activated that day, my true energy was drawn out too much, and I fainted. When I woke up, the valley was full of dead bodies, and only you and me were left alive." Bai Ze said, "Fortunately, I followed The hozens in the back mountain are familiar with each other, and they gave me their treasured elixirs, and I used those herbs to heal your wounds."
"What about you?" Mu Qingling looked at him strangely, "You seem to be fine now, how can you recover from your injuries so quickly?"
Bai Ze glanced at the sleeping spirit deer next to him, smiled, and said to Mu Qingling: "During the time when I was in a coma, Brother Lu made a spirit beast contract with me. Brother Lu has a special form, emerald, that can Healing. It healed my wounds."
"I see." Mu Qingling nodded, understanding. She suddenly remembered something and looked down. Sure enough, the knife wounds on her body from the fierce battle with the Du family's retinue had been bandaged!
One of them was her back.
Mu Qingling's pretty face suddenly turned red, and she looked at the young Bai Ze blankly: "Is it you who's injured me?"
"Brother Deer also helped." Bai Ze said, nodding, "But it is a deer after all, and it has inconvenient hands and feet. It was me who bandaged it."
"You!" Mu Qingling gritted her teeth in shame and anger, "Then wouldn't I... wouldn't I..."
Bai Ze scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed, "But I have protection, and your... what," the young man gestured to his chest, "I have something to cover, eh."
"You still said that!" Mu Qingling almost beat Bai Ze to death, or she wished she could pass out and not wake up.
"No more, no more." Bai Ze ate kudzu roots.
"Hmph, fortunately you look like a teenager, but you are actually still a little kid." Mu Qingling bit the frog angrily, as if it was Bai Ze, "Otherwise, otherwise... you have to be responsible!"
"How do I look like a little brat?" Bai Ze became excited after hearing these words. He came closer to Mu Qingling and glared at her, "If you are willing, I can take responsibility. Anyway, I have seen it and touched it. I’ve touched it too, what’s the big deal if I let you look at it and touch it back?”
Mu Qingling was frightened by Bai Ze's shameless behavior. After all, she was only fourteen years old and not yet old enough to leave the government. How could her rogue aura compare to that of Bai Ze, an old man in the world?
Especially after receiving Xie Xuanzhen's biography, Bai Ze became shameless, which was quite terrifying. How old is Chengcun's little Jasmine? Xiao Douding was just a kid, but he and Xie Xuan were already like beasts, peeking at people taking baths.
The more Mu Qingling thought about it, the angrier she became, with tears welling up in her eyes.
"I'm not going to eat, huh!" She threw the thing in her hand into the fire, and with a bang, the dozing spirit deer jumped and turned away.
"Hey, don't be angry." Seeing that he had gone too far, Bai Ze hurriedly came over and coaxed, "I'll tell you the truth, I practice the "Pure Yang Sutra", and I need to do a little bit before I can achieve great success. Yuanyang has not been released. So even if I am responsible, you will have to wait for me for ten or eight years."
"Who wants you to take responsibility?!" Mu Qingling exploded like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
"Okay, it's all up to you!" Bai Ze surrendered, and with an idea, he happily took out the treasure that had been sealed in the chess pieces and placed it on the ground for Mu Qingling to see, "Look at this."
From left to right on the ground, there are the Huangshan Spirit Sword, the fiery red flying sword of the Du Family Demon Dao, two spirit stones, a bottle of Huiyuan Pill, and a heavy money bag.
Mu Qingling chuckled and tapped Bai Ze's forehead, "You are quite interesting and know how to pick up valuable things."
"That's it!" Bai Ze smiled happily and picked up the flaming red flying sword on the ground. The flying sword was only two inches long, but it was heavy in hand. It was obviously made of extraordinary material. "If you hold this, the other side can control Qi Fei Sword, now that the owner of the sword is dead, it is an ownerless thing. I heard that a drop of blood can be contracted to such a spiritual weapon, you can try it."
"This flying sword is more valuable than the rest combined." Mu Qingling looked at Bai Ze with a smile, "Will you give it to me?"
"I don't know how many dangers we will encounter if we return to Heyang. Just take it." Bai Ze's eyes were clear, and he smiled and said, "The rest are mine!"
"Yes!" Mu Qingling nodded slightly, keeping Bai Ze's kindness in mind.
Bai Ze put away the things and took the spiritual sword Huangshan in his hand. Although it is only the lowest level of Huang class of Tiandi Xuanhuang, Bai Ze feels much more comfortable after getting it.
The grade of the edgeless sword is too high, just like a child, if you let him hold a sword that is taller than him as a weapon, Bai Ze always has difficulty using the edgeless sword.
Huangshan was different. Bai Ze waved it with ease.
"Hang Chi Chi."
Bai Ze heard a strange movement behind him and looked back, only to see that Ling Lu had rolled his tongue and ate all the kudzu roots and frogs that Bai Ze roasted.
"Infinite Heavenly Lord, my chicken!" Bai Ze wailed, "Brother Lu, if you don't bring such a trap, just leave some for me!"
"Chirp?" Jiuse Linglu stared at Bai Ze with confused eyes, which meant "Didn't you bake it for me?"
Bai Ze was so deflated that his face turned green.
"Pfft." Mu Qingling couldn't help but laugh. She felt much better when she saw Bai Ze, who had just bullied her, being bullied into silence by Linglu.
…
The stars were silent, and the whole night was speechless.
Early the next morning, the two took the Linglu together and continued traveling. After walking for most of the day, we finally emerged from the vast Dushan Mountain in the evening.
Bai Ze let out a long sigh of relief, recalling the thrilling twists and turns along the way and feeling quite frightened. It's better to put the matter of Xuan Shenzhi in Hidden Spirit Mountain under control. With his current level of cultivation, it would be too difficult for him to break into Hidden Spirit Mountain alone and get out of the mountain alive.
I don’t know if Ouyang Mu can survive the many changes in Dushan.
"Brother Lu, I feel sorry for you." Bai Ze patted Ling Lu on the neck, "We are going back to Heyang all the way. Although you travel thousands of miles a day, you are too ostentatious, so we have to keep a low profile and return to the city."
"Chirp!" Linglu called out, and reluctantly turned into a deer spirit and ducked into the edgeless sword.
"I didn't expect that the aristocratic family went to war, and the Nine-Colored Linglu was finally subdued by a nobody like you." Mu Qingling said with some envy as she watched the Linglu disappear and sealed herself in the sword.
"Nobody? Haha." Bai Ze faced the setting sun, pointed at the clouds in the sky with high spirits, and said: "One day, I will also scare the Kyushu with a sword, turn my hands to make clouds and rain, and become a generation legend in the Jiuzhou world. !”
"Then I'll wait for that day." Mu Qingling smiled, the clouds filled the sky, she looked at the young man beside her, and said in her heart: "I'll wait for the day when you become famous in Jiuzhou, you step on the clouds in the sky, come to the right place I'm responsible."
"Let's go back to the city!" Bai Ze hugged Mu Qingling's soft and slender waist and walked towards the nearby villages and towns with his feet on the road, the world is so close, five or six feet at a time.
“Above the wilderness, beneath the delicate clouds.
A graceful lady, a suitable room in IKEA.
May the wind blow the dust and be with you.
We live in the same bed, and we die in the same hole.
Wild birds fly together, a century-old fairy. "
…
Lefeng Town.
That luxurious chariot came from the sunset, and stayed at the most expensive inn in the town. The white deer was not stained by dust, the charioteer wielded a sword and a raincoat, and the charioteer's owner was a king.
A knight from Handan in Lefeng Town bluntly said that he had never seen such an enchanting woman in his life, and then he was stabbed to death in the middle of the town road by a coachman with a sword.
"You are still so irritable." The woman in the car said with a sweet smile, her bare hands like jade, lightly covering her embroidered mouth, and drank the wine from the luminous white jade cup.
Unfortunately, the coachman was deaf and couldn't hear his master's voice. He just replied dryly, "His eyes are disrespectful."
The pedestrians on the town road were silent because no one saw clearly how the sword of the coir raincoat driver was unsheathed and how it was put back into the sheath.
The strange combination entered the inn, and the whole attic was silent. The woman's feet are clean from dust. She is dressed in a hundred-fold underskirt and looks as if she is a fairy. However, her figure is as graceful as that of a monster, and her eyebrows are charming and affectionate.
The coachman stood guard in front of the door of Tianzi No. 1 room of the inn, standing with a sword, like a steel sculpture.
But there were two people in the room.
In addition to her, there is also an elegant Confucian scholar with a paper fan and silk towel. He is over forty years old, but he does not look middle-aged. His aura is calm and restrained, like a mirror lake.
"I have long heard that the young master of the Chamber of Commerce is a man of great power to the country and the city. When I see him today, his reputation is well-deserved." said the Confucian scholar.
"Haha." The girl who was no more than seventeen or eighteen years old smiled after hearing this, "Youwei heard that Mr. Jixia Academy studied under Jixia Academy in his early years. He was the number one Confucian sect in the Seven Kingdoms in the North. The scholars in the North were famous among the Seven Kingdoms. He is most likely from the academy. I met you today, and your manners are extraordinary."
Yu Youwei, the young master of the Heyang City Chamber of Commerce, and the scribe sitting across from him was none other than the branch head of the He family of the Southern Region family. He Zongzheng, the current Situ Shangqing of the Yan Kingdom, was the younger brother of He Zongtang.
"Brother Handan sent a letter, and the plan is advancing as usual." He Zongzheng said, "The king went to the imperial study room and made a clear vow to kill Mu Suifeng."
"How do you use the Du family's chess piece?" Yu Youwei asked.
"Make the best use of everything." He Zongzheng shook his fan and said calmly, "No matter whether the Du family can kill Princess Qingling, once they do it, it is a foregone conclusion that they will follow the wind and trample the Du family."
And once Mu Suifengma stepped into the Southern Territory family, he became a real rebel.
"Need to kill." Yu Youwei said, "An angry Mu Suifeng can mess up this game even more. Only then can our next plan proceed better."
"All major aristocratic families have sent dead soldiers to guard various passages in Heyang. She will not survive." He Zongzheng said.
"There is another person who needs to be killed," Yu Youwei said.
"Who?" He Zongzheng asked.
"Grand Duke of Yan State, Zhao Dun." Yu Youwei spoke.
"Zhao Dun is the number one swordsman in the Yan Kingdom, and the Wuji Sword came from the hands of Hei Wuchang, the master of the Sword Sect of the Weapon Refining Sect." He Zongzheng frowned, "It is rumored that Zhao Dun's cultivation has reached the third level of the Extraordinary Supreme, the Tianzun level. If we attack him, it will be difficult to take him down without telling him, and his whereabouts will be exposed, wouldn’t it be a bad thing?”
"Mu Suifeng and Zhao Dun are more than just one plus one." Yu Youwei said, lowering his eyes, "You know, he is the queen of the orthodox royal family. This time he went south, and he also had six of the current King Yan with him. Princess... If you don’t kill her, there will be endless troubles.”
"May I ask the young master how to kill him?" He Zongzheng asked.
"Since it's cooperation, why can only aristocratic families contribute?" Yu Youwei's eyes were like fire, and she smiled softly and charmingly, "Zhao Dun, let's kill."
