The two of them looked at each other. Xu Changliu was holding the wine bottle in one hand and resting it on his lap with the other, looking at Yu Jiuxu with a hint of inquiry.
Seeing him sitting on the tree without moving, just staring with long eyes, Yu Jiuxu ignored him and only turned around to look at the big tree not far away.
I remember that twenty years ago, it was not that tall, nor did it grow as well as it does now. It was dry and thin, with only a few leaves hanging on the treetops, precariously.
It was different now. Yu Jiuxu's eyes narrowed slightly. The position where she stood now was exactly in the center of the formation where the formation was originally set up.
Suddenly, she seemed to have returned to that day twenty years ago. Apart from Guan Yubai, she was the first person to bring all the immortal families together to fight.
She stood in the sword formation among the ugly curses and countless flying swords and shadows, even though she couldn't hear what they were cursing at all.
The wall of light rising around the sword array seemed to blur the sounds from the outside world, but the only real thing that could be heard was one word: "kill".
She would never forget how she felt when she caught a glimpse of Su Luochen who was desperately trying to rush into the sword formation when thousands of swords were hanging in the air, all aimed at her.
Thinking about it now, it was probably as painful as the feeling when the ten thousand swords pierced the heart, so painful that I couldn't breathe. I can never forget it.
It hurts, really hurts...
She originally thought that it was all over, and she felt a little relieved for some reason, but when she regained consciousness, she realized something was wrong.
I wandered around that unknown town for a while before I finally recovered from the pain of being pierced by ten thousand swords, skin peeling and cramping.
Thinking about it now, that battle back then was probably more complete than the Immortal Sect’s three-year ceremony to worship the heavens.
"Oh my! Things have really changed here."
Xu Changliu's voice suddenly sounded, bringing Yu Jiuxu's thoughts back, as if he had returned to the present from twenty years ago in just an instant.
She turned her head slightly and saw Xu Changliu beside her. He had walked to Yu Jiuxu's side at some point.
Yu Jiuxu looked at her, and before he could react, he turned around and smiled at him: "You think so, right?"
Yu Jiuxu was startled again. After realizing what he just said, he smiled the same way: "What was it like before?"
Just kidding, Xu Changliu's intention to deceive her when he asked this question was too obvious. If she continued it casually, she would definitely be suspected.
It's hard to explain, so I just pretend to be stupid.
Xu Changliu looked at her, his eyes narrowed slightly, with a hint of scrutiny and suspicion, but he said nothing.
After a long while, he asked: "No, what are you doing here?"
Yu Jiuxu looked at him without evading her eyes. After a moment of silence, she said, "The scenery here is nice, I'll come over and take a look."
Listening to her passable explanation, Xu Changliu nodded doubtfully.
Yu Jiuxu took the initiative to change the subject: "Uncle Second Master, why are you here?"
Hearing the sound, Xu Changliu turned his head thoughtfully and looked away. He sighed heavily and said in a heavy tone: "It's nothing serious. Come and see an old friend."
Coming here to see friends? What friend?
Yu Jiuxu looked at him, with deep doubts in his simple and clear eyes.
Xu Changliu didn't explain anything anymore, and just looked at the distance not far away with deep eyes. The sunset was setting, and there was no obstruction of trees here, so he could just see the sunset.
After a moment of silence, Xu Changliu said abruptly: "I'm afraid there is no one here who can find this position so accurately."
Yu Jiuxu turned her eyes and looked at his profile. Seeing that his expression was indifferent, as if he had no intention of questioning, she knew what he wanted to say.
Presumably, the location he mentioned was not just referring to this wasteland, but the center of the sword formation.
After another brief silence, Xu Changliu turned to look at her again: "You don't have to say anything, I don't mean to force you."
Although he probably has something in mind.
When Yu Jiuxu heard this, he was a little surprised at first, but after thinking for a moment, he still didn't say anything, and there was a hint of gratitude in his expression.
At this time, there was another strange noise in the forest behind them. What was different from before was that both of them felt a different aura.
Almost at the same time, the two of them turned around sharply. It was getting late, and the forest suddenly calmed down again. There was no sound, but the weird aura still hung over the forest.
what happened?
Yu Jiuxu frowned. With so many years of familiarity, she could almost conclude that the person who came was Shen Jingzi.
What was strange to her was that she had heard Wan Chuyue say before that they could not confront the Immortal Sect for the time being, but why did they come to her so quickly?
Before she could figure it out, Xu Changliu frowned and said, "Be careful, there is something dirty."
"..."
Yu Jiuxu was silent, but his brows were furrowed. He didn't quite understand the meaning of Shen Jing. After all, the last time he met Wan Chuyue was a long time ago.
The two of them looked warily in the direction of the forest. After a brief silence, the forest began to stir again. This time they heard only the rustling, and suddenly a figure staggered out of the forest.
"Ha, at this hour, there are still people coming?" Xu Changliu sighed for a while. Logically speaking, the sun is almost setting now, which is the time to be alert, and it should be impossible for anyone to come.
Moreover, this place has been barren of grass all year round since that person died here. Everyone felt that it was caused by that person's lingering resentment. Since then, it has been said to be an ominous place.
But in fact, it was because there were too many immortal magics gathered in this sword formation at that time. No matter what things were mixed, chaos would inevitably occur, let alone mixed and powerful things.
Naturally, the living creatures in this place cannot regenerate. Speaking of which, it may really have nothing to do with that person.
After all, as a leading demon cultivator, if she really has grievances, not to mention this village, but the entire Guanghe County, and if it is serious, even the entire Liyun City may lose more than half.
It definitely won't be like it is now, it's just that the place where the formation was originally set up has lost its vitality.
I saw the figure in front of me swaying out of the shade of the tree, looking unsteady, as if walking was very difficult.
When he stepped out of the shadows, the person he saw was in ragged clothes, covered in dirt, with messy hair, and a bloodless face, as if he was already stiff and about to begin to rot.
Especially the empty eye sockets, with nothing in them, as if one could see the rotten and smelly brain at a glance, and the whole person looked like he had just crawled out of the grave.
Without waiting for the two of them to react, one, two, three... or even more similar things came out of the forest one after another.
"These are not humans." Yu Jiuxu's eyes darkened slightly: "They are walking corpses."
Speaking of which, it can be regarded as one of Shen Jingzi's special moves. It seems that this time, they are planning to go head-to-head with the people of the Xian Sect?
Without waiting for Yu Jiuxu's reaction, Xu Changliu put the wine bottle in his hand away from his waist, formed a seal with his hands, used his spiritual power as a contract, created a formation in his hands, used his strength under his feet, and raised his hand to attack.
When a palm fell, there was only a "boom" sound, and the zombie walking in the front was instantly knocked away, hit the tree hard, bounced back to the ground, and fell heavily.
Just a click was heard, and there was a sound of bones breaking, and then, the zombie that was knocked away staggered up from the ground.
After a closer look, the thing's left hand was bent to the back in a weird posture, but he didn't feel it at all. It was still mixed in with the other zombies, moving forward slowly.
It seemed that this time it was a dead body. Yu Jiuxu's eyes darkened, and he had all the energy in his body to step forward to help.
She moved slightly under her feet, but before her feet could remember to leave the ground, a hand suddenly pressed her shoulder, forcing her to put away her spiritual power.
"?" Yu Jiuxu turned his head and met Wan Chuyue's smiling eyes unexpectedly.
