Bai Xiaoyu saw Xu Huaigu's determined look now, and couldn't help but recall the look on his face when he drew his sword with ease that day at the ferry in Xingqing City, and was filled with emotion.
Young people have to grow up after all. When Xu Huaigu truly grows up and can wield the sharpest sword, he should be the one to protect her, right? Even though he was no longer the boy who followed her and asked her to protect him, she should be very happy.
Huang Shan's shout interrupted her thoughts: "Fellow Daoist Bai, have you finished killing the dragon? Quickly pull me up, don't forget me!"
Bai Xiaoyu's train of thought was interrupted by her, and she pulled angrily, and Huang Shan was pulled up.
After the small silver-white sword killed the dragon, the blade was still sharp and not stained by any dirty blood. It immediately stopped next to the futon, waiting for its owner to step on it as if to please.
Huang Shan took a step curiously, wanting to step on the sword. Bai Xiaoyu suddenly glared: "How dare you!"
Huang Shan retracted his steps angrily and said: "Fellow Daoist Bai has misunderstood. It is too dangerous to step on a narrow sword. How can it be as comfortable as sitting on a futon? I am not understanding that you must be tired from killing dragons, so..."
Bai Xiaoyu was annoyed by him and said: "Shut up, you have never used the Immortal Weapon before, do you want to give it a try?"
Huang Shan smiled coquettishly and said, "Fellow Daoist Bai is really considerate. That's what I think. Then we are all allies, can you give me a try?"
Bai Xiaoyu squeezed out two words through her teeth: "No."
But then she thought about it, turned around and asked Xu Huaigu: "Xu Huaigu, do you want to come up and give it a try?"
Although Xu Huaigu wanted to go up, he was a little embarrassed, so he made an excuse and said: "Let's forget it. Let's go back to the exit quickly. The night is long and there are many dreams. If we delay it for a long time, we are afraid that something will happen again."
Bai Xiaoyu nodded, and the sword and futon flew toward the white light again.
Perhaps the previous fight was too shocking. Those dragons should also be the highest predators in the sea of clouds, so no other monsters came to attack along the way. They quickly approached the white light.
But the strange thing is that even though they kept getting closer, the size of the white light did not change. Until there was only three feet away from the white light, the white light was still the size of a grain of rice, floating in the air, very strange.
Bai Xiaoyu stopped and looked at the white light from a distance, not daring to approach rashly.
Huang Shan took out a knife, cut off a piece of fabric from his clothes, and threw it towards the white light. When the cloth comes into contact with white light, it disappears.
Huang Shan explained: "It has its own space inside, and it should be the exit."
Bai Xiaoyu agreed and said, "Then the three of us will go in together to avoid getting separated during the teleportation."
She took Xu Huaigu's hand. Huang Shan wisely did not hold Bai Xiaoyu's hand, but grabbed Xu Huaigu beside him, and then the three of them rushed towards the white light spot.
As soon as Xu Huaigu's body touched the white light, he felt that the light of day was in front of his eyes, which was very dazzling, and he quickly closed his eyes. At this moment, the three people disappeared out of thin air, and they finally left Wangchuan.
In the sea of clouds in Wangchuan, Shangguanchuan was half-lying with his back against a black cloud, staring at Xu Huaigu's departure, and said to himself: "The little guy still has a long way to go, just wait and see, the worst is to wait." Two hundred years later, he won’t die anyway.”
After that, he yawned twice, and the sea of clouds around him surrounded him and enveloped him.
At the same time, Xu Huaigu, who entered the light space, finally felt the white dazzling light fade away, so he immediately opened his eyes, hoping to return to Yu Qin as soon as possible. But the scene in front of him backfired. Instead of a familiar room, he saw a black void.
He, Bai Xiaoyu, and Huang Shan were standing on a small suspended island.
The island is not big, and there is almost no room for three people.
He looked around and found that the island was surrounded by void on three sides, but on the remaining side there was a very narrow stone bridge extending from the island to the distance.
The stone bridge is suspended out of thin air. The narrowest point is only the size of a sword hilt, making it difficult to stand. Under the stone bridge is the boundless void, which is very permeable to look at.
Xu Huaigu looked along the stone bridge to the other end, and saw a scene that looked like a miracle.
In the middle of the stone bridge is a golden curtain of holy light. On this side of the light curtain is the island where Xu Huaigu and the others are located and the endless void, while on the other side of the light curtain is the scene in a room. The room is a bit dim, as if it is dawn.
A girl is lying on the bed, sleeping quietly. Her chest rose and fell slightly, her hair was neatly scattered on the bed, her face was peaceful, but her face was bloodless, showing a deathly paleness.
The girl Xu Huaigu knew all too well, she was Yu Qin.
As soon as he saw Yu Qin, Xu Huaigu thought of his experience in the illusion. His heart surged and he said, "That's Yu Qin over there. We have been in Wangchuan for so long, and she is not dead yet!"
Huang Shan thoughtfully said: "It should be that the passage of time in Wangchuan is different from that in the outside world. We stayed in Wangchuan for a few days, but in the outside world it was only a few hours."
Xu Huaigu said eagerly: "What are we waiting for? Let's hurry over!"
Bai Xiaoyu stopped him and said, "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Be careful, it's dangerous."
Xu Huaigu was anxious and said, "But it's almost dawn, and by dawn, Yu Qin will be dead!"
Bai Xiaoyu looked embarrassed. She also knew that Xu Huaigu was impatient, but she had to ensure Xu Huaigu's safety and could not act rashly.
At this moment, Huang Shan suddenly pointed to the ground under their feet and said, "Look here, there are words under our feet!"
Xu Huaigu took a look and found that there were a few small cracks on the ground. If you look carefully, they do look like characters. The three people standing on the island were too crowded before, so no words were found.
Those are four words, live toward death.
Xu Huaigu asked puzzledly: "What does this mean?"
Bai Xiaoyu disdainfully said: "It's boring to make things mysterious."
The three of them thought about the meaning of these four words for a long time, but to no avail, so they prepared to forcefully walk across the stone bridge.
Bai Xiaoyu prepared to cross with her sword, which was safer than walking across the stone bridge, but she suddenly found that the small sword was lying motionless on the ground, and the futon could not fly.
Bai Xiaoyu said seriously: "This place is very strange. The magic weapon is disabled and the spiritual energy cannot be used."
Huang Shan glanced at the stone bridge, which was as thick as a single log. Under the stone bridge was an invisible void, and felt chilled in his heart.
He hesitated: "Then we have to walk there on our own?"
Bai Xiaoyu was silent for a while and said, "I'm afraid this is the only way."
Huang Shan's face became embarrassed, but Xu Huaigu said resolutely: "Let's go, staying here is not an option. In fact, with our monks' physical strength, there should be no problem in crossing this bridge safely."
Huang Shan retorted: "But if one accidentally falls, he will never come back again!"
Xu Huaigu looked at Yu Qin on the other side of the light curtain, becoming more and more anxious and said impatiently: "Then wait here, I'm going over now!"
After saying that, he stepped onto the stone bridge. Fortunately, the stone bridge was very stable, and with his cultivation, he would not fall down easily.
Bai Xiaoyu saw that Xu Huaigu insisted on crossing the bridge, so he also said: "I'm going to cross too. If you are still afraid, just stay here alone."
Seeing that both of them were about to leave, Huang Shan hesitated immediately, and finally had to compromise: "What's the matter with leaving me alone here? I'll go with you too. But if something happens because of your recklessness, you can't blame me."
Bai Xiaoyu was worried about Xu Huaigu's safety, so he speeded up and walked behind Xu Huaigu, watching over him at all times, while Huang Shan followed them.
Fortunately, although the magic weapon cannot be used, the three monks are still physically strong, so they have a good sense of balance. They have walked through most of it in a short time, and will soon reach the narrowest point.
Bai Xiaoyu held Xu Huaigu's hand and said softly: "Don't be anxious, be careful."
Xu Huaigu nodded, then held his breath and took small steps carefully.
Beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead, and his steps began to tremble unconsciously. Bai Xiaoyu noticed that something was wrong with him and quickly reminded him: "Don't leave, stop quickly!"
Xu Huaigu saw that the golden holy light curtain was only a short distance away from him. He felt anxious and said hurriedly: "It's okay, I can do it."
He took another step forward. Behind him, Bai Xiaoyu saw that his left foot suddenly moved towards the edge of the stone bridge and said quickly: "Be careful!"
At the same time, she quickly reached out and grabbed Xu Huaigu's hand. As expected, Xu Huaigu's left foot was unstable and he was about to fall off the stone bridge on one side, but luckily he was held by Bai Xiaoyu's hand.
Xu Huaigu screamed. At this time, the soles of his feet were completely suspended in the air, and Bai Xiaoyu was holding on to them with one hand. The situation was extremely dangerous.
Bai Xiaoyu was suddenly pulled by Xu Huaigu on the stone bridge, and his body suddenly became a little unsteady and slipped. Fortunately, she grabbed the stone bridge with her other hand, so Xu Huaigu and Bai Xiaoyu were hung up on the stone bridge. As soon as Bai Xiaoyu's hand was loosened, the two of them would fall into the endless void.
Bai Xiaoyu shouted anxiously: "Huang Shan, come here quickly and pull us up!"
Huang Shan saw that the two of them almost fell and said reproachfully: "I told you two to be careful. Something almost happened now, right?"
He was about to go to save the two of them, but an idea suddenly came to his mind.
If he took the opportunity to kill two people and seize the magic weapon from them, he would make a lot of money.
Huang Shan became hesitant. He had only formed a temporary alliance with the two of them for mutual benefit. But now, there is obviously an opportunity for him to obtain greater benefits, why not take it?
He coveted the two immortal weapons on Bai Xiaoyu's body, especially the small silver sword, and Bai Xiaoyu didn't treat him well at all along the way. Killing them like this was in line with Ye Xiu's path.
Naturally, he slowed down and couldn't hide from Bai Xiaoyu's eyes. Bai Xiaoyu immediately thought of the worst ending.
Bai Xiaoyu quickly urged: "Come quickly and help us!"
She could see that Huang Shan was hesitating in his heart, which meant that this man was not bad to the core yet, so she had to hurry up and rescue the two of them while he was still hesitating.
Huang Shan heard Bai Xiaoyu's urging and saw the change in Bai Xiaoyu's eyes towards him. He immediately understood that Bai Xiaoyu already knew what he was thinking. Even if Huang Shan rescued the two of them, Bai Xiaoyu would probably settle the score with him later. It's better to take action now and settle the matter once and for all. …
Huang Shanhuai walked over with this idea in mind. When he arrived in front of Bai Xiaoyu, he squatted down and stretched out his hand, preparing to take Bai Xiaoyu's hand away from the stone bridge.
Bai Xiaoyu looked very panicked. She could see Huang Shan's inner thoughts, and he was preparing to kill people and seize the treasure. She felt extremely regretful about why she came to Wangchuan River like this. Now she and Xu Huaigu would both end up here.
Huang Shanna grabbed Bai Xiaoyu's hand with his right hand, pried her hand away from the stone bridge, and then held it tightly in his hand.
At this moment, the lives of Xu Huaigu and Bai Xiaoyu depended on Huang Shan's thoughts.
