The moonlight gradually slipped in the dark night. Xue Ling looked at Sheng Junqian's face and turned her head: "What are you waiting for?"
"Do you think she is trustworthy?" Sheng Junqian looked at the ladder and said quietly.
Xue Ling laughed a little angrily: "You are asking this question at this time. Isn't it too late?"
"Now that the arrow is on the string, it has to be fired."
Sheng Junqian's expression was particularly calm at this time: "It is precisely because the arrow is on the string that we have to determine where to point the arrow."
"Which way is it going to go?"
"What do you mean?" Xue Ling looked at Sheng Junqian and said.
She suddenly felt that what Sheng Junqian said was somewhat interesting.
"What I mean is." Sheng Junqian looked at Xue Ling: "Between Xue Chong and Huo Ying, who do you think is more trustworthy?"
"Between Xue Chong and Huo Ying?" Xue Ling couldn't help but be stunned, because there was basically no way to compare this.
Xue Chong was mysterious and kept his words hidden. As for the story Huo Ying told from beginning to end, even if Xue Ling and Sheng Junqian believed less than 100%, 80% was still enough.
Because Huo Ying has a very outstanding characteristic - that is, Huo Ying obviously can't lie, or in other words, she doesn't like lying very much.
It's that kind of cold and straightforward feeling that can choke people to death anytime and anywhere.
"Huo Ying." Xue Ling said frankly.
"Yes, Huo Ying." Sheng Junqian looked at Xue Ling and nodded: "Then what about Xue Chong's agreement?"
"Didn't Xue Chong's agreement help him get the blood of that monk?" Xue Ling looked at Sheng Junqian: "And at least we can now confirm that Taoist Qingyun and Monk Jiu are not good people."
"But there are still some discrepancies between Xue Chong's statement and Huo Ying's statement." Sheng Junqian said lightly: "Do you still remember?"
"Xue Chong said that he needs Tianbulao to improve his cultivation."
"At that time, we believed it to be true, and we even believed it deeply."
"But looking at it now, it is obvious that Xue Chong's statement has certain problems."
"That is, simply saying that the sky never grows old cannot help people ascend in the daytime."
"According to Huo Ying, at least it needs to be configured as pure colored glaze to fully exert the effect of the immortal medicine."
Xue Ling looked at Sheng Junqian, and she already felt something was slightly wrong in her heart.
"you mean……"
"That's what I mean." Sheng Junqian said quietly: "Do you think Xue Chong himself has the pure glazed formula?"
"In other words, does Xue Chong have the ability to prepare the pure glazed formula?"
Xue Ling was a little speechless. She bit her lip gently: "But I feel that Xue Chong is not a bad person."
As a tall and cheerful Shandong man, Xue Ling didn't have much plan for him. When they first met, from the initial hostility to when he finally shared the information about Tianbulao to Xue Ling Sheng Junqian, from this point on It seems that Xue Chong is still helpful to Xue Ling and the others.
"I suspect that the relationship between Xue Chong and that monk is far from as simple as we imagined." Sheng Junqian looked at Xue Ling and continued.
Xue Ling was speechless and unable to refute this sentence.
"Then what should we do?" Xue Ling couldn't help but ask.
Sheng Junqian smiled: "You are Bee Wing, why is it your turn to ask me what to do?"
"Isn't it always the case that Bee Wings are responsible for making judgments and Bee Stings are responsible for executing them?"
Xue Ling was a little confused.
It was really unpleasant to be ridiculed openly.
She pinched the jade pendant Xue Chong gave her at her waist. It would be a bit reckless to label Xue Chong as a conspirator just like this.
But many things about Xue Chong's performance seemed particularly suspicious when compared with what Huo Ying said.
"Why are you telling me this now?" Xue Ling looked at Sheng Junqian and said, "This is the moment."
Yes, at this moment, they are already standing on the edge of this cliff, and they need to survive a narrow escape to find the immortal.
"It's because this is the moment." Sheng Junqian shrugged and said, "I never had the opportunity to be alone together before, and it's also because of the current situation. There will be no chance to talk about this in the future."
"How to choose?" Sheng Junqian looked at Xue Ling and asked.
Xue Ling didn't know.
Insufficient information.
Especially after having agreed to Xue Chong before, I feel a little uncomfortable breaking the contract in advance now.
"Act according to the original plan." Xue Ling made a decision in an instant.
"If you want to take Tianbulao, kill as many monks as you can, and take your heart's blood." Xue Ling's words were somewhat decisive: "Of course."
"When I go back to deliver the task to Xue Chong."
"He has to tell us everything he hasn't told us."
Sheng Junqian listened to Xue Ling's words quietly and couldn't help but shrugged: "No matter what."
"Listen to you."
"My dear Beewing."
Saying this, Sheng Junqian came to the ladder and climbed down step by step.
Xue Ling stood there, looking at the half-moon above her head, and her mood was a little subtle for a moment.
Being a bee-wing is really much more tiring than I thought.
Especially when there is no Dinghai Shenzhen to rely on.
With this thought in mind, Xue Ling was the last one to climb down the ladder and climb down towards the bottom of the bottomless valley.
These ladders are made of very hard ropes, but they are not simply hung on the cliff because as a whole, the cliff of the mountain pass is concave inward. If you only hang a ladder down, you will only be able to sway. Swing.
Huo Ying used steel drills to firmly fix the ladder on the cliff. When she climbed down the ladder, she felt as if most of her body was hanging in the air. She could only hold on to the ladder firmly. That way you won't slip and fall.
But if you think about how Huo Ying completed this ladder, you can't help but feel admiration in your heart.
After all - Huo Ying is only sixteen years old. This is an age that feels incredible no matter how many times she thinks about it.
The rock walls were cool, and the wind echoing in the valley was even cooler.
Xue Ling quickly entered the mist lingering in the mountain pass. The pure white mist wrapped around her coolly, and the overall feeling was like falling into a dream.
Xue Ling felt that her hands were getting wet, and there was an abyss beneath her feet.
If you make a mistake, you will really regret it for eternity.
Fortunately, I'm not that afraid of heights. Xue Ling said with some self-deprecation in her heart.
At this moment, in the clouds and mist, Xue Ling suddenly heard an inexplicable sound of flapping wings.
The voice was strong and powerful, and immediately, in Xue Ling's field of vision, she saw a white shadow in the mist rushing towards her.
The shadow was as fast as lightning. When it came to the front, Xue Ling realized that it turned out to be a blue goshawk.
It flapped its wings and glided rapidly in the air, then opened its claws and grabbed at him.
Why is there such a thing! Xue Ling was stunned.
She is currently hanging in the air, basically like a target. Let alone fighting with her, even dodging is extremely difficult.
While Xue Ling was thinking like this, the goshawk had already pounced in front of Xue Ling, and saw its sharp talons grabbing Xue Ling's neck without hesitation, trying to leave some blood on the girl's white and tender neck. Barking skeleton.
Xue Ling sighed and continued to crawl down slowly. At this time, her neck was already grasped by the claws like pliers.
Only a few crisp sounds were heard, like bones breaking. The moment the eagle's claws touched Xue Ling's neck, they could not penetrate into the girl's skin at all, as if they were grabbing a piece of steel.
And the goshawk is so determined to do its best.
So under the circumstances, the final result was that the goshawk's two talons were broken in the middle, and blood flowed from the wounds. The goshawk screamed in pain, and at the same time it flapped its wings and flew into the clouds again.
Xue Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
Whenever this happens, I unconsciously start praising the various benefits of thick skin.
At this moment, a voice as thin as the wind came from below: "Did you alarm the condor?"
Huo Ying's voice.
"Condor?" Xue Ling said in disbelief.
At this time, a group of eagles suddenly sounded from the clouds and mist, which seemed to contain vague anger.
Xue Ling was a little shocked - it was obviously you who attacked me and failed to gain anything, so why did it become that I did something wrong now?
Is it wrong to use anti-wound armor?
And while he was thinking like this, in Xue Ling's field of vision, dozens of goshawks were already flying in the air, and then crashed straight towards him.
Yes, it seems that after learning the lesson from last time, they determined that Xue Ling was a tough guy. They no longer tried to use the eagle claws to attack, but directly used the speed in the air and the sharp eagle beak to turn themselves into hidden weapons. Directly knocking Xue Ling off the cliff.
Xue Ling panicked for a moment: "What should I do?"
Her luck shouted down.
"Let go and jump down!" Huo Ying replied to Xue Ling.
Xue Ling couldn't help but look a little ugly when she heard Huo Ying's answer.
The other party's attempt was just to knock me down. If I let go, wouldn't it be a typical example of me committing suicide decisively to prevent the enemy from killing me so that the enemy's plot could not succeed?
It's a bit too stupid no matter how you think about it.
But just when Xue Ling was thinking like this, the first goshawk had lowered its head and hit Xue Ling's body. This was a pure kinetic energy bullet, which knocked Xue Ling's body a little crooked for a moment.
It doesn't hurt, it just hurts!
Very scared!
"Jump!" Huo Ying's voice came anxiously again.
"Believe me!"
She said this.
Xue Ling gritted her teeth, seeing that even if she stayed on the ladder, she would be knocked down alive by these goshawks, which would probably be even worse. At this time, only by trusting Huo Ying could she have a chance to survive.
Thinking like this, Xue Ling let go of her hands, and her whole body instantly fell freely in the mist-shrouded valley.
The goshawks in the sky did not give up the pursuit because Xue Ling committed suicide. They continued to hover in the air, chirping excitedly, and then swooped down again and again, trying to play with Xue Ling's body in the air.
At this moment, a bright sword light came from the cliff, slashing at the goshawks that dared to attack Xue Ling in the air. Those goshawks were immediately cut in half in the air, and blood exploded from their bodies, as if Bloody fireworks blooming in the white clouds.
But even after dealing with Goshawk, Xue Ling still felt that her body was falling faster and faster. At this moment, a soft ribbon flew out and wrapped around Xue Ling's waist, and then the other end of the ribbon pulled hard, Xue Ling flew straight towards the cliff, and then she felt that she fell into a warm embrace.
The girl was so frightened that when she looked back, she realized that it was Huo Ying who was hugging her.
At this time, they were in a cave on the cliff, and they could see that the top of the cave was the end of the ladder.
Obviously, this is where normality comes into play.
Xue Ling jumped down from Huo Ying's arms, untied the silk belt around her waist, and handed it back to Huo Ying: "What on earth are those?"
"The condor," Huo Ying said quietly, "It was originally a specially trained goshawk raised by the Crock Temple to defend against thieves."
"But now, the thieves have become us, right?" Xue Ling said with a bitter face: "And you were not attacked?"
"I got it." Sheng Junqian said from the side: "But fortunately I can jump fast."
Saying this, Sheng Junqian showed his shoulder to Xue Ling, and saw that the clothes on it had been scratched, revealing several bloody scratches.
Fortunately, it seems to be just a skin injury and does not affect movement.
"Why didn't you tell us in advance?" Xue Ling looked at Huo Ying and said.
"Is telling you useful?" Huo Ying said quietly: "If I tell you in advance, will you really jump when I ask you to jump?"
Xue Ling was speechless.
Of course I won’t jump. I’m not stupid.
Who would jump unless they were desperate?
It's like if you don't really like it, who would be willing to be a licker?
I understand the truth, but I can't do it.
"Anyway, we survived." Sheng Junqian said lightly, somewhat trying to smooth things over.
He looked at Huo Ying: "You made a lot of preparations to protect the back hill of the Crock Temple."
"I'm just making wedding clothes for others." Huo Ying said quietly.
Saying this, she walked deeper into the cave.
This valley was first a volcanic crater, and then became Tianchi. During the Tianchi period, a large number of caves were formed in the mountain, and the cave they were in now was the uppermost one among the caves.
It had to be said that Huo Ying knew much more about this valley than anyone else. If Xue Ling and Sheng Junqian came to steal the medicine, they would really be stuck with it.
Seeing Huo Ying jumping down and down flexibly in these caves, heading towards the bottom of the valley little by little, Sheng Junqian looked at Huo Ying's back and couldn't help but ask: "Is there any arrangement below?"
Huo Ying stopped in the cave and looked up at Sheng Junqian: "Of course."
In fact, it is extremely dark in the cave. Even if you have high martial arts skills, it is difficult to see in the darkness.
But Huo Ying didn't know when she sprinkled some fluorescent powder on her body. At this time, her whole body was exuding a faint blue fluorescence in the dark, and every time she set foot, the fluorescent powder on her body would be sprinkled on the footing point, giving Xue Ling and Sheng Junqian marked the next step.
Arguably the best beacon.
"Then what should we do?" Xue Ling couldn't help but ask.
"Believe me." Huo Ying said quietly, and then continued to jump down.
