Yang Chan walked deeper in the dark. Although her eyes had adapted to the darkness a little, there were still many places she couldn't see clearly. It was so dark that she instinctively feared her. In addition, Gu Chen was not around, and this fear was completely gone. There is no way to suppress it.
She wanted to stop more than once and go back to find Gu Chen, but thinking of Gu Chen's explanation, she could only bite the bullet and continue walking inside step by step. Suddenly a slope appeared, she missed the step and slipped down. .
"Wow--"
Fortunately, the ramp was not deep, so Yang Chan just fell to the ground and was not injured. She rubbed her butt with aggrievedness and muttered with her mouth pursed: "It hurts, Gu Chen..."
She suddenly realized that Gu Chen was not there, she pursed her lips tightly, her eyes became firm, and she continued to walk in. Gu Chen was blocking the monster for her, but she couldn't bear any pain. How could she be worthy of Gu Chen?
But after falling from the ramp, the passage became winding and more difficult to walk. Because of the stone wall blocking her, she could not see her fingers. She bumped into the wall several times, and her forehead and nose were red. , holding the stone wall with his left hand, and groping in front with his right hand to prevent himself from being injured again.
The longer she walked, the more worried she became about Gu Chen's safety. Now she was forcing herself to suppress her emotions and be more rational, otherwise she might not be able to help but run back.
But at this moment, Yang Chan suddenly stopped. She was a little scared, but she still called tentatively: "Gu Chen?"
Yang Chan is a careful girl. She has just noticed that there is an extra footsteps in this dark passage that imitates her own pace but is not completely consistent. At first, she thought it was her illusion or an echo. , but when she tried to hold her breath, she found that there was another breath continuing, not far from her.
Her heart was raised, and the tension made her focus even more. She hoped it was Gu Chen, but if it was really Gu Chen, how could he remain silent around her?
The other party seemed to be aware of her holding her breath and testing, and knowing that she had been discovered, she seemed to stop. As soon as the other party stopped, Yang Chan also stopped, or she was so scared that she had to stop. I thought it was the monster I saw not long ago.
"You...don't eat me...no! Just eat me, don't hurt Gu Chen, let him go, okay?"
The other party was silent.
"I... whatever you want me to do, don't hurt him."
"The exit is very close. There is a fork in the road ahead. Let me take you there."
The other party's voice was very clear, but there was hesitation and hesitation. It sounded like a child's voice, which made Yang Chan startled, but then she felt relieved. It seemed that it was not the monster. At the same time, she I also heard that the voice was behind me, very close.
Yang Chan turned around almost subconsciously and grabbed randomly with both hands. She actually caught the other person's clothes, which startled the person and made him run away almost as a reflex.
His strength was very strong, Yang Chan didn't know exactly how strong it was, but at least it was not something she could compete with. She held on to the opponent's clothes tightly and was moved by the opponent's movements. When her hands were about to lose their grip, Yang Chan quickly shouted Said: "Please, save Gu Chen, save him!"
The man stopped running away and stopped moving. Yang Chan only grabbed the other man's clothes and was pulled so hard that his body staggered. He had no strength in his hands anymore and fell to the ground. He was helped up by the man.
"Please……"
"He's fine. Come with me."
Just such a simple sentence made Yang Chan completely quiet and relieved. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
The man looked at her deeply, his eyes shining with exploratory light. In the darkness, those eyes had a green glow.
…
…
Qingmu Town, in the inn.
Listening to Qingyangzi's analysis of various situations, although the analysis was succinct, Yun Zhi finally felt bored and interrupted him impatiently: "Old Taoist Qingyang, have you noticed that the older you live, the worse your whole body becomes? Long-winded?"
Qingyangzi originally planned to talk about his next plans and responses, but was choked by Yun Zhi's words. He stared at Yun Zhi for a long time and suddenly said: "Don't call me old, you and I are about the same age."
Yun Zhi's expression suddenly changed, and she stared at Qing Yangzi fiercely, as if she wanted to kill someone.
Qingyangzi smiled awkwardly, knowing that he had stepped into a minefield, and quickly changed the subject: "What I just said was just speculation. After all, for people at your level, there are very few things that cannot be seen through at a glance. , this world has basically no secrets for us.”
At this point, he couldn't help but sigh. Yun Zhi smiled and said, "What? Are you still thinking about leaving this world?"
Qingyangzi did not answer her question, but just said: "When a world has no secrets for itself, even though it has a long life, it still feels like it is a waste of time."
Yun Zhi still brought the topic back, stared at Qingyangzi and said: "Then let's do it again, travel all over the world, and travel through all the wilderness. You have done it once, and if you do it again, maybe you can get out of this world. "
Qingyangzi opened his mouth, not knowing how to respond.
"Zhang Jiuxiao, as long as you say a word, as long as you decide to go for it, I, Yun Zhi, will immediately leave everything behind and come with you again. Do you dare or not?"
Being called this name again, what he said was an obsession buried deep in his heart. Qingyangzi couldn't help but get excited for a moment, his eyes were shining. Facing Yun Zhi's passionate gaze, he didn't avoid it at all this time. Seeing his appearance, Yun Zhi suddenly felt happy, thinking that the once all-powerful and proud man was finally coming back?
But then, Qingyangzi gathered all his edge, closed his eyes slightly, and said softly: "No, I'm already old."
"Qingyangzi!!"
"Elder Yun, what is past is past."
Elder Yun! It’s this damn Elder Yun again!
Yun Zhi hated this title as never before, hated these three words, and couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Yes, you are indeed old, so you have started to meddle in other people's business. When will the Xuanmu Sect's affairs become the Qingyang Sect's turn?" Are you here to take care of it?”
Qingyangzi said: "I just traveled around and happened to be here. Because the master of Xuanmu Sect begged me, I took care of this nosy matter. More importantly, this is something I have never encountered before."
Yun Zhi snorted coldly and said mercilessly: "You guys who claim to be famous and upright are all so hypocritical. Every immortal cultivator is selfish. How can you do anything that is not beneficial? I thought I was young. Yang Clan is self-righteous, but I didn’t expect Xuanmu Clan, a small third-rate sect, to have such ambitions.”
Qingyangzi knew that once this woman got entangled with him, there would be no end. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "The master of Xuanmu Sect, Qingyi Ke, whose surname is Xu, is also from Qingmu Town. He is so nervous, maybe because this is his place." Hometown.”
"What happens to you is your business. Please resolve this matter quickly. I don't have that much time to accompany you."
As Yun Zhi spoke, she suddenly frowned and made a calculation with her left hand. Her expression suddenly changed and she looked extremely angry. She said in a cold voice: "This damn girl, I thought she was honest, but she still ran away secretly!"
After saying that, Yun Zhi stood up and was about to rush out when Qingyangzi suddenly grabbed her and said: "It's not sweet to force yourself. Since she doesn't want to follow you, just let her go."
Yun Zhi turned around, with tears in her eyes, and cursed: "Let me go, Zhang Jiuxiao, you wolf-hearted thing. If you miss, just die yourself. That girl is my chance to regain everything. No matter what, I must take her with me." If she leaves, damn 'Elder Yun', I don't care, you can just take care of yourself if you want."
He flicked Qingyangzi violently and flicked it with his other hand. The window opened and she turned into a stream of light and flew out.
Qingyangzi was stunned, her mind was filled with the image of Yun Zhi just now feeling aggrieved and angry with tears in her eyes. Thinking of her words again, he smiled bitterly, shook his head, and murmured: "The elders of the Yinnu Sect, I have to be the one to do it." Okay."
He transformed into sword light and chased Yun Zhi, a few points faster than Yun Zhi.
