The bright moon is high in the sky, the stars are scattered, the bonfires in the valley are still crackling, the horses' heads are bowed, and in the intervals between the snoring and snoring, there are the sleepy murmurs of travelers. It is already late at night.
A mile away from where everyone was resting, there was an open flat land with ancient trees sloping beside it, blocking the moonlight. Amidst the sound of sword light, the silver light on the branches shook off.
A ray of sword light suddenly rose from the night sky and fell straight from the mid-air. The ground was illuminated for a moment, and there was a slight burning feeling in the air. Mu Qing practiced "Li Huo Liao Yuan" again before sheathing the sword and undulating violently. His chest slowly calmed down.
After Ye Yun left, Mu Qing approached Wang Yeqing. Originally, in their plan, they only rested for half a day and one night at Qingchuan Pass, but in the end, everyone stayed in the town for five full days.
It was probably because of Ye Yun's departure that Mu Qing finally remembered that he still had a "B" mission from the bookstore, the mystery of Suzaku City, and the crisis of Ten Thousand Flowers Valley were still waiting for him to tackle, so that afternoon, They were ready to go and had already passed through Qingchuan Pass and entered Youyan Prefecture.
Cultivation has always been smooth sailing for Mu Qing, but at this time he still inevitably felt pressure, especially after experiencing the attack and killing by the men in black robes. That's why I practice swordsmanship all the time now.
When they were in town, Ye Yun dumped all her sword-practicing experiences on him, for fear of missing something. From this point of view, their status as master and disciple was not considered fake. Although Mu Qing was practicing with his left hand, Although he doesn't have a sword, he has already taken the first step to become a swordsman. He has mastered the two moves of Li Huo Liao Yuan and Li Huo Po Ling.
"Ding——" A crisp knocking sound sounded after the collision between the fingertips and the sword body. Mu Qing weighed the sword in his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and shook his head.
The long sword I asked Sun Ren for this afternoon is still the best among them all. After practicing it a few more times, I am afraid that the sword will break into pieces. The most urgent task for practicing swordplay now is to find a good cold iron sword that can withstand your own internal strength and Lihuo Sword Qi.
Mu Qing lowered his head and wondered where he could get a good sword, and walked towards the bonfire in the valley. When there was a strange cracking sound under his feet, Mu Qing was shocked, and his tired mind after practicing the sword was also shocked. Gotta wake up a bit.
Although it is April in Mengxia, there is still some lingering coolness from late spring in the night, but the chill that penetrates the bone marrow under the soles of the feet, like the cracking sound of thin ice, reminds Mu Qing that something is wrong. He reacted quite quickly and was about to go high He screamed for help to Wang Yeqing, but found that except for his eyes, which could still move around, he could no longer speak and his whole body was stiff.
The night in his vision became thicker, like a thick piece of cloth. Mu Qing's eyebrows were stiff and his eyes were moving. He understood who this chill was, and the suspicion in his heart was a bit heavier than fear.
"Want to talk?" Ying Que didn't cover up his voice this time, and his cold voice was full of deep magnetism.
Mu Qing blinked hard several times. The iceberg pressed down on his buttocks and his whole body, and the feeling of freezing his spine disappeared instantly. He spit out the suffocation that was frozen in his chest. Mu Qing put his hands on his legs, ignoring the burning sensation. Feeling choking in the lungs, he coughed and gasped: "Senior's realm is higher than I imagined..."
Ying Que paused as he looked secretly, "Do you know who I am?"
Mu Qing nodded for a moment. After slowly raising his head and seeing the face under the hood, he nodded and said, "Senior should be Miss Ye's father."
Ying Que was silent for a moment and said, "Your skills in Lihuo Sword Technique are somewhat unsatisfactory."
Ying Que did not deny it. In Mu Qing's eyes, this was an acknowledgment of his identity. Although he was very unhappy with what the other party had done, he controlled the ups and downs of emotions in his heart well and said calmly: "I have Ye Ye." The young lady has taught the Lihuo Sword Technique for less than a month, so it can only take its shape suddenly."
The black robe moved slightly, muddying the night. Mu Qing's eyes lit up. When he caught this scene, the struggling thoughts in his heart just started, and he realized that he had been locked in front of Ying Que. Ying Que gently put his hand into Mu Qing's arms. , and found out two secret books with excellent materials.
A incomplete sword manual was very familiar to Ying Que. When he held it in his hand, he did not ask Mu Qing for his opinion and just flipped through another book. Mu Qing suppressed his emotions extremely well and pretended to be He looked offended but didn't dare to get angry, but he was thinking heavily about the way out.
"He did hide his strength that night. Is it because Mr. Fei Ji left that he feels like this now? I wonder if Mrs. Wang can detect the movement here and inform Uncle Feiyu and the others."
"No, I can't do this. This will put Ayun in a dilemma. How can she return to the island in the future?"
"He didn't kill me right away. Was it because of the Lihuo Sword Technique, or because my Zhenqi mind method aroused his curiosity?"
Mu Qing's mind was churning with endless ups and downs. In just a few short breaths, Ying Que glanced at a few places and fell back to the opening words of "The Book of Ten Thousand Poisons": "The heaven and the earth are not divided, and the universe is in chaos. . Suddenly there is a qualitative change, and the source of Qi begins to separate. Taishi produces wood, illuminates it with the sun and moon, passes through it with stars, records it with the four seasons, and starts with Taisui. Then there are spiritual beings, whether they are monsters or monsters, and they have all kinds of poisons. , is the true scripture.
"
"This opening chapter is of a very high level, so how can it be a true scripture?"
Ying Que's mind moved slightly, and he looked at Mu Qing, who had been silent all the time, a little surprised, "These few breaths have passed, and you still haven't called for help? I can feel the aura of that poisonous cultivator. Well, the early stage of transcendence is complete, and the state is very high. Stable, which is a bit surprising, if she discovers the situation here, she should be able to activate Kunzhu in time to notify Tantai Feiji and the others."
Mu Qing looked up at Ying Que and said truthfully: "Then we will definitely die, and Miss Ye will also be in a dilemma."
Ying Que's eyes fell on Mu Qing's face. After looking at it carefully, he said coldly: "You just had a lot of thoughts. After thinking about it for so long, what did you guess?"
Mu Qing said truthfully: "Senior is at a very high level. He didn't kill me right away, probably because of Miss Ye."
Ying Que's face was a little dark, noncommittal, and he smiled inexplicably: "Yun'er said that you and him were on a blind date, so I came here to see you."
Mu Qing's eyebrows jumped and he took a few steps back. He glanced behind Ying Que. He didn't find Ye Yun's figure or feel Ye Yun's breath. He looked at Ying Que and said, "Has he found A Yun? A Yun is now how?"
"Your hostility is getting deeper. What's the relationship between you and Yun'er?"
Mu Qing thought about a few answers in his mind, but he rejected the words before they came out. What he said was, "My fair lady, a gentleman is so generous. Miss Ye saved my life, and the younger generation longs for her grace. Although I feel ashamed of myself, I still work hard to become stronger, and I never regret my desire to pursue her and love her."
The chill in the air suddenly became dozens of times deeper. The night wind was dry and cold. When it blew on his face, it felt like wind dust. Mu Qing felt that his throat was a little more blocked every time he took another breath. Tonight, it was the first time that he felt so powerless. Fortunately, the condensed atmosphere did not lead him to death after all.
After Ying Que confided his feelings to Mu Qing, the first thing that appeared in his heart was incomparable anger. The pearl he had hidden deep in the treasure box was lost. It seemed that someone else had picked it up and refused to return it. Well, the pearl himself did not want to return to the box. He was so angry that he wanted to smash the brat in front of him who didn't know how high the world was.
Then he became extremely depressed, because he thought that if he wanted his daughter to be obedient and go home, the brat in front of him was still a key link and he couldn't just die casually.
In the end, he admired it lightly, because when he pursued his daughter and her mother, he was also overwhelmed.
After enough pressure, Ying Que pointed directly at the center of Mu Qing's eyebrows.
Mu Qing just had a moment to breathe, without even a chance to resist, he could only watch Ying Que's instructions.
The feeling of weightlessness instantly surged from the lumbar spine to the brain. Mu Qing's vision went dark. The moment he lost consciousness, it seemed that his whole body fell into a bottomless black abyss. Fortunately, this palpitating feeling only lasted for a moment, and Mu Qing staggered. Suddenly, the black robe that was darker than the night appeared again in his field of vision.
"Senior, what does this mean?"
Facing the man who wanted to pursue his daughter, Ying Que only had a frosty look on his face. He said coldly: "I have branded a simple spell deep in your spiritual womb."
Although he had understood that he would not die tonight, Mu Qing did not dare to be careless at all now. He stared directly at the face under the hood that had been somewhat friendly but now only showed fear, and said slowly: "What talisman?"
"Water control spell. Although this is a very simple spell, unless I myself, even if Tantai Feiyu comes, I can't undo it. But don't worry, it's just to make it easier for me to find you."
Mu Qing's voice was low, "The word "control" is not that simple. Senior controls me and Miss Ye."
Ying Que snorted coldly: "It seems that you know your position in my daughter's heart?" His face was frosty, and he cut Mu Qing's eyes coldly, "Now, let me ask you an answer. If you tell lies, I will Make your life worse than death."
"You just said Yun'er saved you, what do you mean?"
He has already found A Yun. Damn it, if he puts himself in his shoes now, A Yun will definitely not urge Kunzhu to do anything. Will what I say be compared to him?
Thoughts flashed through Mu Qing's mind quickly, and he calmly replied: "Back in Jinguan City, Miss Ye was poisoned by a first-grade poison cultivator, and she was later cured by me. However, because I did not have enough experience in the realm, I contracted the remaining poison and fell into a coma. In the end, it was Miss Ye who helped me wake up and get rid of the poison."
The poison of a first-grade poison cultivator...
Ying Que not only combined what Ye Yun said, but also everything Ji Xiu knew, and instantly grasped the key, and asked: "Even if you are a poisonous cultivator, but only have a third-level spiritual life, and the Taoism has not been hidden in your body, how can you Can you cure the poison?"
The realm is high enough, and Ying Que can discover many strange things about Mu Qing, such as the Taoism that is high and complex, and the Qi that is poisonous. Now he wants to peel off the secrets of the brat in front of him bit by bit.
