"No." Cai Zhao regretted very much, "I should have saved my time to visit the flower market, vegetable market, lantern market, Ullan Night Market and the Manjusri, Samantabhadra, Guanyin and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva temple fair to practice my kung fu!"
Fan Xingjia:...
Cai Zhao suddenly felt his left hand tighten, as if it was being pulled by something. She looked down and saw that the silver chain on her wrist was pulled into a straight line, reaching far into the hands of the young man standing at the edge of the dense forest.
Mu Qingyan said coldly: "Follow me yet."
This dark dense forest is located to the north of Guangtianmen. When viewed from the air, it looks like a huge felt made of fine linen. It is densely packed and stretches as far as the eye can see. Since the beginning of martial arts records, few people have been able to pass through this dense forest. Just like the Qingque Sect has the towering Tiantian Peak behind it, and the Demon Sect has the vast and traceless Hanhai Mountains behind it, this dense forest is also a natural barrier to the north of Guangtianmen, preventing it from being attacked from both sides.
Entering this dense forest, the bright moonlight suddenly became fainter, and the top of the head seemed to be covered with a dense curtain, even the faces of the people around him were a little blurred. Cai Zhao took a closer look and found that all the tree trunks around him were long and thin, and the trees were extremely close to each other. The branches and leaves at the top were intertwined with each other, and they looked like a tent.
Cai Zhao wanted to light a torch, but Mu Qingyan held her tightly with a silver chain. If she took a step too slow, the ruthless man would pull hard, and she had to stumble to follow. Beside her were Shangguan Haonan, who was carrying Song Yuzhi on his back, and You Guanyue, who was dragging Fan Xing's family. The group of six people were silently galloping towards the depths of the dense forest.
After walking around for an unknown amount of time, Mu Qingyan suddenly stopped and Cai Zhao's nose almost hit his back. Mu Qingyan turned around, raised his arm and pointed upward, and said to Shangguan Haonan and You Guanyue: "Go over there and let the Fan Xing family heal Song Yuzhi."
The two responded to the order, and immediately picked up Song and Fan. The two jumped up high. Cai Zhao looked up along with their bodies in the air, and then he realized that there was a pointed green gauze tent propped up on the overlapping tree branches above his head, and another one. The tent with a slightly smaller roof was pitched on a tree branch some seven or eight feet away.
Cai Zhao suddenly felt his left upper arm tighten. He looked down and saw four slender, frost-white jade bones pinching off his sleeves. Then he was lightly lifted by Mu Qingyan and jumped into the slightly smaller one. In the tent.
When we came to the tree, the dense branches and leaves on the canopy were held open by the tent supports. The continuous moonlight penetrated through the green gauze and satin material, making the gauze tent much brighter. Through the moonlight, Cai Zhao saw that the bottom of the tent was covered with several tree trunks with flat sections cut out, with soft velvet blankets spread on top, and a neatly arranged baggage placed in the corner.
After Mu Qingyan entered the gauze tent, he stretched out his hand to press down on Cai Zhao's shoulders and plucked her clothes with his fingers. Cai Zhao blushed, lowered his shoulders, raised his arms, and gave an elbow to the back. Mu Qingyan's shoulders were slightly averted. Using his inner strength, he clasped the girl's arm behind his back with one hand. To prevent her from fighting back, he simply leaned over and pressed her down.
Cai Zhao was thrown face down into the blanket, with the young man's full body covering his back. He was like a little beast being pushed up a mountain, barely able to breathe. She struggled to twist her body to no avail, but she felt that the man pressing on her was tall and strong, with a hard chest and strong arms, covering her like a cage.
Mu Qingyan suddenly said: "You'd better stop moving!"
Cai Zhao turned his head in confusion, and his cheek almost touched his lips. Their noses were nose to nose, and their breath could be smelled immediately. The young man gasped softly, his breathing a bit fast and heavy, his fair face flushed, and his originally calm pupils dilated slightly, revealing a strange excitement.
After all, Cai Zhao had read a lot of erotic books. Although she didn't understand many of the details, it didn't stop her from feeling embarrassed and nervous at the moment, from her cheeks to her ears to her neck. She noticed that the body behind her was hard and as hot as a fever. She was so frightened that she almost cried. She said loudly and wisely: "I know you want to wrap the wound on my shoulder. I will do it myself. You, you, you, let go first." Can you drive me..." When he said the last three words, he was almost begging.
Mu Qingyan stared closely at the girl's back neck and slightly open shoulders. Her cute and soft skin was crimson, like snow covered with a layer of peach petal powder. Her thin body was trembling slightly because of fear. , like a frightened little kitten, its big tearful eyes full of pleading and pity. Mu Qingyan's chest felt hot. He wanted to crush this frail and cunning cat wantonly, but also wanted to hold it in his arms for affection and affection.
He stared at the girl for a long time, with various emotions flashing through his eyes. Cai Zhao was shocked and frightened. Finally, the young man closed his eyes to calm down. When he opened his eyes, he released his palms and said, "Loosen your clothes!"
Cai Zhao seemed to be pardoned and rolled and crawled into the corner of the gauze tent.
Mu Qingyan turned around and took out the medicine bottle and silk cloth from the bag. When he turned around, he saw the girl trembling with her back to him, unbuttoning her clothes, curling up to reveal the wound on her shoulder that had been penetrated by an arrowhead.
He smiled slightly sarcastically, "I just realized today that Heroine Xiao Cai is so flexible and flexible."
"...Actually, I only found out today."
After a while of scrubbing and applying medicine, the wound was wrapped. Cai Zhao carefully pulled up his shirt and tied the belts one by one before daring to turn around. The bright dim light in the gauze curtain melted like silver, and the tall young man's face was like a crown jade, as cold as water, and his expression showed a sense of indifference. Cai Zhao suddenly remembered the scene just now——
After Shangguan Haonan and You Guanyue killed all the Siqimen's pursuers, corpses littered the wilderness and the ground was stained with blood. Mu Qingyan threw a porcelain vase over and said, "Converting the corpse will save the origin of the injuries from being revealed."
A bottle of bone-corroding rain fell, and dozens of corpses quickly melted into a large puddle of corpse water filled with a strong rotten smell. Fan Xingjia and Cai Zhao almost felt sick when they saw it, and even Shangguan Haonan and You Guanyue didn't realize it. After leaving, only Mu Qingyan still looked indifferent, watching quietly without any expression. He didn't give the order to enter the dense forest until the sound of the hooves of the pursuing soldiers was approaching.
"If I really want to despise you," Mu Qingyan watched as the girl finished tying the belt on her skirt and then began to tie the belt on her cuffs, each knot being tied tightly, "...you can't resist it."
Cai Zhao's face turned red, "No, I didn't mean that. Of course you won't mess around."
Mu Qingyan's face showed sarcasm: "No matter how good the virtues of people in the devil's sect can be, it's better for Little Heroine Cai to be more open-minded."
Cai Zhao raised his head warily: "What do you mean?"
"It's not interesting, I just think about the use of the golden chain in the underground palace of Mu Donglie, the leader from time to time."
Mu Qingyan sat cross-legged elegantly and lightly, like a beautiful jade statue, but Cai Zhao was so nervous that he stuttered, "You, you, please think more about your father, who has such a noble character..."
Mu Qingyan said: "I also have a mother who is unscrupulous and despicable. I hope you know."
Cai Zhao's face darkened, and he began to condense his qi into his Dantian, preparing to fight with all his might if this lunatic really got mad.
Seeing that the girl was almost frightened, Mu Qingyan suddenly changed the subject, "I searched Mu Zhengyang's past and dug out a close friend of his when he was young and lived in the countryside. That close friend told me that Mu Zhengyang and your aunt After I came back from Snow Ridge, I planned to come to this blood swamp, so I came. Now it's your turn to tell me what you found out."
The corner of Cai Zhao's mouth twitched, thinking that your explanation couldn't be simpler, but it's always better for the lunatic to divert his attention, so she quickly recounted the secret she saw in Yin Dai's letter, and sighed at the end. He said, "I don't know how Mu Zhengyang seduced Nie Hengcheng into practicing the Purple Heart Sutra. He is really quite capable."
Mu Qingyan looked surprised and asked: "Many of the brothers and feet of Master Mulanyue are not hiding in the mountains, but are they practicing the "Purple Heart Sutra" or are they dead or disabled?"
"That's right." Cai Zhaodao, "This is the conclusion reached by Yin Dai after collecting ancient fragmentary records of the Six Beichen Sects."
"The eldest son of Master Mu Song also practiced the Ziwei Heart Sutra, but he died of illness earlier than his father?" Mu Qingyan murmured doubts, "But in the religious history I read, it is clearly written that Mu Yinong's three All the brothers died in the subsequent struggle for the throne."
Cai Zhaodao: "I didn't understand it at first, but then I thought about the saying that 'family scandals should not be publicized' - like my family, the ancestral genealogy records the 'witches' who acted erratically in the ancestors, but they are always vague and obscure. , otherwise I wouldn’t have known that Gu Qingkong actually retired to Xueling. It’s just that if I don’t record it, my opponent will.”
Mu Qingyan still doubted, "It's just that Mulan Yue's limbs were maimed by the Purple Heart Sutra. Hiding this record may be for fear of losing the prestige of our sect, but what is the purpose of distorting the death of Mu Song's eldest son?" Now that he has mastered the "Purple Heart Sutra", how can he have any family scandal, unless..."
He seemed to have thought of something, and raised his head as if nothing had happened: "Also, before your aunt tried her best to kill Nie Hengcheng, Yin Dai already knew that Nie Hengcheng would not live long? He deliberately asked your aunt to fight to the death."
Cai Zhao lowered his shoulders and said in frustration, "Yes."
"That old fox!" Mu Qingyan cursed, then glanced ahead and mocked, "Then you are still following his grandson around?"
Cai Zhao was helpless: "If it hadn't been for the accident at Guangtian Clan, I wouldn't have had the chance to leave Jiuli Mountain. Alas, I don't know what is happening to my parents now. Where did they take Clan Master Song to?"
Mu Qingyan snorted coldly, "Don't worry, if it is true as I heard just now, there are several groups of pursuers behind you. Yang Heying should have used most of the Siqi Sect's men to capture you, and your Majesty's Hall will be safe."
He added: "I originally thought that Yang Heying just got Song Maozhi's handle and wanted to get some benefits from Guangtianmen, but now it seems that there is a lot of mystery. Can you tell me what happened last night?"
Cai Zhao hurriedly recounted briefly what he saw last night, and then asked, "Were the people from the Huangsha Gang really killed by Song Maozhi? And the people in that village, who were turned into corpse slaves?"
Mu Qingyan asked back: "Yang Heying has a bone-eroding sky rain on his hand?"
Cai Zhao was stunned, "Yes, he said that after Nie Hengcheng's death, the Beichen Six Sect took advantage of the chaos in your sect and seized it when they attacked several rudders." She saw the young man's expression of condensation, "...could it be, that's not the case? "
Mu Qingyan said slowly: "Bone-eroding Tianyu was made by Lu Chengnan unintentionally. He knew that this thing was extremely powerful and would cause no harm, so he never told anyone the recipe for Bone-eroding Tianyu. , and never let him go to the branch, for fear that the church would use it to kill innocent people indiscriminately. Yan Xu said that because of this, Lu Chengnan had many arguments with Zhao Tianba and other senior brothers. When he was seriously injured and escaped, Ji Le Gong Shang There are hundreds of altars of bone-corroding heavenly rain prepared, but Nie Zhe and Han Yisu used up more than half of it when I attacked. Nowadays, the bone-eroding heavenly rain has been used less and less."
Cai Zhao was surprised: "Then where did Yang Heying get the bone-eroding sky rain? Ah...could it be the person behind the scenes?" - Could it be that Nie Zhe had sent out several jars of bone-eroding sky rain when he colluded with that person? , and then that person gave it to Yang Heying?
Mu Qingyan nodded slowly, "That should be the case."
"Then, do you want to arrest Yang Heying for questioning first?" Cai Zhao asked.
Unexpectedly, Mu Qingyan said: "No, let's go to the Blood Swamp first."
Cai Zhao was puzzled.
Mu Qingyan said: "What do you think a twilight person is most afraid of?"
Cai Zhao wondered why he was talking about this, but he still replied: "Sick? Old? Sick and old?"
"Yes." Mu Qingyan said, "Do you know what kind of Kungfu the "Purple Heart Sutra" is?"
"How could I know that?"
"According to the current legend, when you practice the Ziwei Heart Sutra to its peak, you will not only be invincible in the world, but you will also be able to prolong your life and rejuvenate your youth."
Cai Zhao was surprised and said: "Nie Hengcheng wants to live forever?"
"That's not the case," Mu Qingyan said, "but people like Nie Hengcheng, who are ambitious and have high self-esteem, often worry about their own achievements in life when they are in their later years without a wife or children."
Cai Zhaoxiao whispered: "I almost ruined your Mu family. I think this achievement is not low."
Mu Qingyan ignored the girl's complaints, "He would think that apart from trying to seize the power of the Mu family, the Six Beichen Sects are still doing well and the world is still divided. It seems that he has not made any earth-shattering achievements."
Cai Zhao's heart moved: "Do you think so too?"
Mu Qingyan looked at her deeply and did not answer, "At this time, if he knew that there was a way to practice the "Purple Heart Sutra", it would be difficult not to be tempted. Just now you asked, "How did Mu Zhengyang lure Nie Hengcheng to practice the "Purple Heart Sutra"? 》--I guess that's why."
Cai Zhao tilted his head and thought for a while: "It makes sense, let's continue talking about the Purple Heart Sutra."
Mu Qingyan: "Generally speaking, the Purple Heart Sutra has three levels. Every time you break through a level, your internal strength will double and increase dramatically. However, the most evil part of it is also here. These three levels must be completed in one go. Once it is broken, you must immediately attack the next level, and you cannot interrupt for a while, otherwise you will suffer a backlash."
"It means, don't think that you will be satisfied after you have completed the first and second levels of heaven. You must continue to practice until you are successful. Unlike other mental skills, you can pause and recuperate when you encounter obstacles in your practice. "Purple Heart Sutra" There are only two outcomes, either you can clear the level in one go, or you die suddenly in the middle, there is no third way out.”
"When we met Duan Jiuxiu in Xueling, we learned that practicing the first level of the "Purple Heart Sutra" requires the saliva of the Snow Lindra Beast as a guide. We learned from Lu Chengnan's last words that Nie Hengcheng had already practiced the "Purple Heart Sutra" "It's the last level, and what he needs at that time is the Purple Jade Golden Sunflower. So what about the second heaven of the "Purple Heart Sutra", what rare things are needed to supplement it?"
Cai Zhao noticed something and said, "You mean, the key to cultivating the second heaven lies in this blood swamp?"
Mu Qingyan nodded slightly: "Nie Hengcheng is very cunning. If he can't ensure that he can practice at all three levels, how can he get involved easily? Mu Qingyan first got the saliva of the Snow Scale Dragon Beast, and then found some excuse to send it to Nie Hengcheng. The purple jade golden sunflower is originally a treasure of the divine religion, but only this blood swamp...
"No matter what is in the blood swamp, Nie Hengcheng definitely didn't have it at first, otherwise he wouldn't have sent Chen Shu here." Cai Zhao said.
Mu Qingyan nodded and said, "Now the person behind the scenes also wants to practice the "Purple Heart Sutra". The saliva of the Snow Scale Dragon Beast lasts for thousands of years. Maybe it can be obtained from old families like Jin Baohui. The other two items are unavailable. Neither Lu Fengchun nor Yu Huiyin can tell the identity of the person behind the scenes. It is estimated that Yang Heying is not much better. It is better to check this blood swamp to see who else has come in to hunt for treasure besides us. .”
Cai Xiaozhao nodded vigorously.
"Tonight we will recharge our batteries and head into the depths of the forest early tomorrow morning - do you want to find out the person behind the scenes?"
Cai Xiaozhao continued to nod vigorously.
"Now you lie down and have a good rest. Are you hungry? You can use some dry food first. There is no chicken soup or wontons now. Close your eyes and sleep!"
In the big gauze tent on the other side.
You Guanyue took out a collection of poems from somewhere and pretended to mutter the words.
Shangguan Haonan was lying on his side on the bed, holding his head with one hand and teasing the hare in the rabbit cage in front of him with grass with the other hand.
While the Fan Xing family was giving the needle to the unconscious Song Yu, they kept looking at the small gauze tent opposite that was blocked by branches and leaves, and said worriedly, "Tell me, my junior sister will be fine."
You Guanyue snorted and made no comment.
"Your leader seems to have a bad temper, but he had a bad temper when he was on Jiuli Mountain." Fan Xing's family was very sad, "Junior Sister Zhaozhao said that she and your leader get along easily, and I hope Leader Mu won't be too embarrassed. She, alas, her life has not been easy this year, let alone the whipping she received back then..."
Shangguan Haonan suddenly said: "Little brother, have you started eating meat?"
Fan Xingjia was stunned: "What are you talking about?"
Shangguan Haonan sat up and pushed the lively rabbit cage away, with a half-smile on his face: "I mean, have you ever slept with my mother-in-law?"
Fan Xingjia's face turned red, "I...I haven't married yet."
"Whether you can eat meat or not has little to do with whether you can marry a wife or not. My little brother is still young." Shangguan Haonan laughed.
You Guanyue frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about? Just don't open your mouth and go to the third road."
"Go away, you fake coward." Shangguan Haonan waved his hand like a fly, turned around and patted Fan Xingjia's shoulder kindly, "Listen to me, I will teach you that more than 90% of the grievances and disputes between men and women in the world are caused by Fights at the head of the bed and fights at the end of the bed.”
Fan Xingjia's eyes were horrified and he firmly denied: "...They are not a couple, and there is no bed here!"
"Sure enough, he is just a boy who doesn't understand anything." Shangguan Haonan clicked his tongue.
The Fan Xing family couldn't help but said: "Senior Shangguan, please don't be too arbitrary."
Shangguan Haonan said proudly: "I have three gentle and considerate wives in my family. How can I know?"
"He also plans to marry the fourth one." You Guanyue hummed.
Fan Xing's family was completely speechless. He lay half asleep and half awake all night in fear and worry. The next morning, he went down from the tree, freshened up for a while, and came back. He was shocked to see his dear little junior sister with a pair of dark circles under her eyes, yawning, and an expression on her face. tired. Fan Xing's family wailed: "Junior sister, are you okay..."
Cai Zhaoqi said: "Fifth Senior Brother, you also have nightmares."
Probably due to excessive exhaustion, and the fact that a certain demon was sleeping on the bed at arm's length from him, Cai Zhao had no rest for the whole night.
