The tall silver seedling crown swayed slightly in the firelight, and two clever silver horns stood tall on both sides of it.
Chi Meng bit her lip, her big eyes sparkling in the corner, and her cheeks felt inexplicably hot.
Looking sideways at Li Jing, who was standing outside the temple with Hou Qing, her heartbeat started to beat faster.
"It's so embarrassing!"
Thinking of what Xianshen had just said to Li Jing and the empress, Chi Meng felt shy.
Although her personality is not usually like this, hearing those words from her mother is really embarrassing...
But Xiao Guo Guo seems to have no reaction...
Chi Meng pouted and heard Li Jing's voice coming from over there.
"The Saint of Thieves is also good at Bagua and Five Elements. He is very good at finding graves and holes. He is very good at finding things."
Li Jing put her hands behind her head and quietly let the evening breeze after the rain blow on her face, feeling full of comfort.
"According to what Brother Li said, this "Yi Si Zhan" is so powerful that it must be well hidden and not accessible to the common people."
Hou Qing was playing the bone flute beside him and sighed with a serious look on his face.
"It's a pity that I can't see senior Li Chunfeng with my own eyes..."
Li Jing looked calmly at the night ahead, and said with a smile: "If the Corpse Ancestor learns such hexagram skills in the future, future generations will surely sigh and wish they could meet the Corpse Ancestor."
Hou Qing nodded deeply, pondered for a while, and then suddenly spoke.
"Is this the trip to the Miao border? If you go back like this without leaving anything here, Hou will not be happy."
Li Jing raised the corners of her mouth slightly and looked forward gently: "That's not entirely true..."
In the longing night, groups of black shadows slowly walked out.
The one-armed tall and thin figure in the lead was wrapped in linen, leaving only a blank space in front of his eyes.
The iron spear in his hand was still glowing with cold light.
Hou Qing clapped his palms with his bone flute and exclaimed in admiration: "The moon is dark and the wind is high, it's a murderous night, Brother Li has a good plan."
Li Jing smiled softly and took a step forward.
"Brother Kuimu, have everything been arranged?"
The tall and thin figure with one arm nodded slightly and said in a low voice: "Alang's medicine has been distributed to the clan members. Kui Mu is very grateful that Alang is willing to help the Jaundice clan to revenge."
Li Jing smiled and nodded: "You and I both have needs, so I can't say thank you. But after tonight, the life of the Jaundice clan may not be easy in the future..."
A young voice sounded from the longing figure: "We are blessed by the gods, and we have never been afraid of people outside!"
"That's right! If my mother-in-law hadn't given birth to a baby, how could the forest be destroyed like this!"
Kui Mu nodded slightly, his eyes firm, and then he turned his gaze to Li Jing.
King Jiao slowly walked out from behind Li Jing, his face still a little pale.
"I shouldn't have helped you find Kui Mu..."
"What are you afraid of? I don't believe that bastard Chili dares to come to the forest by himself without a bad guy to lead him! Son-in-law, go ahead and don't worry!"
Xian Shen held a green fruit in her hand. She pushed the king away carelessly, took a bite of the fruit, put her hands on her hips and continued to speak.
"It belongs to an old man. If your clan members are killed, you should fight back! I will guard the forest for you, don't be afraid."
Li Jing crossed her hands on her chest, squinting and smiling.
Countless figures below the steps burst into warm cheers.
King Jiao coughed and spoke slowly from the side: "Don't hurt innocent people."
Just as Li Jing was about to reply, he felt a pain in his waist. He turned his head to look, but saw only the empress's cold expression.
There was also Chi Meng who looked surprised next to her.
Li Jing patted her arm, nodded to King Jiao, and walked down the bluestone steps with an indifferent expression.
Kui Mu, who was standing in front of everyone in the audience, nodded heavily to King Jiao and Xianshen, stepped away from Li Jing, and turned to leave.
Swish, swish, and countless black figures suddenly turned around, no longer as silent as before. The sound of rumbling footsteps could be heard in the forest, as well as the occasional sound of the collision of iron tools.
Hou Qing's face was pale and he cupped his hands towards the two women.
"How could such a scene be without the presence of Corpse Ancestor? The two teachers, Hou will come back as soon as he leaves."
Before the King Jie next to him could make a sound, Hou Qing's figure had already quickly jumped up to the treetops, and then disappeared into the night.
"Xiaoguoguo, this is..."
Chi Meng stared at the empress with confusion.
The empress bent her eyes and took Chi Meng's hand.
"He went to get your dowry."
…………
The night wind blew across my back, causing a shiver.
"If there is no movement in the Dead Creek Forest, you can go back and report to the Poison Master."
A dull voice sounded first, and then a figure with a sword on his waist nodded, turned around and was about to jump off the tree.
"puff."
An iron arrow shot straight out of his chest, leaving a trail of blood.
"Snapped."
The dead body fell heavily to the ground, and at the same time there was the sound of a knife cutting its throat.
Gurgling blood dripped from the fingers of the guard of Ten Thousand Poison Cave. His widened eyes first saw a face completely covered by linen, and then he unconsciously lowered himself to the treetop.
Through the dead man's eyes, all he could see was a dark figure suddenly appearing on the previously peaceful yellow sand.
Emerging from the dead stream forest on three sides.
"Elder Xunkui, all the hidden whistles have been dealt with."
Several dark figures ran over from the forest in front and bowed to Kui Mu from a distance.
After hearing the reports from several Jaundice clan members, Kui Mu looked at Li Jing.
Li Jing was riding on a pony. Beside him, there were also dozens of horseback knights from the Jian clan, holding long iron spears in their hands and looking over.
"Brother Kuimu, for the first ten miles of this trip, everyone abandoned their horses and walked. We are conducting a night attack, and the horses are only available for cover after we evacuate."
Kui Mu nodded solemnly and gestured to the left and right.
"Chachacha..."
Countless footsteps stepped on the sand in an orderly manner, and hundreds of figures slowly dispersed into the forest.
Li Jing nodded to Kui Mu, held the horse's belly without stirrups, and stepped forward slowly.
With these experts from the Jaundice tribe, they melted into the night.
…………
The chirping of cicadas that had stopped all night began again. You Chuan leaned in front of the window railing of the bamboo building and stared blankly at the night sky without the waning moon.
Sighed.
Ever since he came out of the Huagu Valley, he had never seen Mr. Du's face again, and his daily activity range was near this small building. Another group of people living around were the original distinguished guests.
I haven't seen Li Xingyun much in the past two days. Only the feminine man in red came to ask Mr. Poison when he would hand over the golden silkworm Gu to them.
The Saint has long since escaped from the Cave of Ten Thousand Poisons. I'm afraid I won't be able to get the golden silkworm Gu back...
You Chuan's mind was flooded with endless thoughts, and he sighed again, preparing to close the window.
The night wind blew across his back, carrying a faint smell of blood.
You Chuan frowned slightly and stuck his head out of the window railing.
Although the village where the guards live is not as lively as elsewhere, it seems that it is too quiet tonight...
"Go and see if anything happened outside."
You Chuan strode towards the door and called the guards outside.
The wooden door creaked and was pushed open, two figures fell limply at the door, and a heavy sword was stuck outside the door.
Li Jing smiled, showing his white teeth, and threw the heads of the two staring old men over.
"There is another one, do you know where it is?"
