After looking back several times to confirm that Elder Yuan was not following, Xiang Shu immediately adjusted his direction, returned to the grass outside the Gongde Hall, picked up the black clothes, put them on, and disappeared into the grass.
She knew several blind spots in the formation where no one was secretly guarding them, so naturally she would not follow Elder Yuan's guidance. Otherwise, if this person sensed something was wrong and caught up with them, their efforts would be in vain.
On the way, Xiang Shu recalled his performance in front of Elder Yuan several times and determined that there were no big flaws. He felt a little more at ease, but his steps became faster and faster.
After a long two-quarters of an hour, Xiang Shu finally passed through the large bushes and hit the large light wall with a thud.
Regardless of her dizziness, she quickly took out the token and printed it on the light wall, and immediately a portal halo spread.
finally!
Seeing that the way out was right in front of him, Xiang Shen breathed a long sigh of relief, and his tense mind finally relaxed.
But before she could be happy, she suddenly felt wind blowing behind her, and her figure subconsciously dwarfed.
The next moment, a bright blade of light passed over the top of his head, taking a few strands of hair with him and falling to the ground.
Xiang Yu's eyes suddenly shrank and he rolled to the side.
The sharp wind of the knife passed by his side and struck the ground with a muffled sound.
Xiang Shuo felt that the half of his body that had been brushed was numb.
She got up in embarrassment and looked at the knife holder in front of her. She felt that it was difficult to breathe, her heart was beating fast, but her thoughts were clearer than ever.
The person in front of her has great swordsmanship, and she is definitely no match for her. However, his cultivation level is not high, so there is no way he will have the token to go down the mountain.
As long as she could delay it for a second or two and escape outside the formation, she would have a chance of survival!
The thought flashed through his mind for just a moment, and the man with the sword struck again, the sword shining like snow, swift and ruthless.
"Wait! You can't kill me!"
She shouted as loud as she could, but the knife in the hand of the sword holder only paused for a moment before cutting down again without any intention of stopping.
This move was completely unexpected. Xiang Shu didn't have time to think about it. He took out a bunch of talisman seals and crushed them. "We will die together!"
The sword holder was shocked when he saw Fu Zhuan, and immediately sheathed his sword to avoid it. He struck Xiang Shuan on the shoulder with a soft move, leaving a long and shallow blood mark.
At this moment, both of them were stunned.
The wound was in severe pain. Xiang Shu came to his senses first and immediately understood what was going on. Without saying a word, he grabbed the token for descending the mountain, got out of the formation portal the size of a dog hole and ran away.
What kind of amulet seal can't even block ordinary swords? She was deceived by Elder Yuan!
He ran in a panic for a while, exhausted his physical strength, and gradually couldn't run anymore, but he didn't dare to stop. He searched in the dark for a while, and luckily found a tree hole and hid in it without moving.
Trying his best to control his breathing, Xiang Sheng listened quietly. He only heard a few wolf howls in the distance, but no footsteps or human sounds.
After heaving a sigh of relief, Xiang Shu carefully tore off a piece of skirt and barely covered the wound on his shoulder to prevent the smell of blood from spreading.
The night was still long and the tree hole was relatively safe, but Xiang Shu didn't dare to sleep at all. He kept tensing up and paying attention to the movements outside. In the second half of the night, he finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep in a daze.
Time passed and the sky gradually turned white.
Xiang Shen slept very lightly, and a little bright light woke her up.
After waiting for a long time, she crawled out of the tree hole, stood up and patted the soil all over her body. Only then did she realize that her clothes had been torn by branches while escaping yesterday, and her body was even scarred.
"No wonder it was so easy to tear off the strip of cloth yesterday..."
With a murmur, Xiang Shu left along the mountain path.
She had to escape from the Blazing Sect's sphere of influence as soon as possible. The sword holder might not be able to leave the sect, but if the people behind the sword holder and Elder Yuan were determined to kill her, it would not be difficult to get down the mountain.
After groping for a while, Xiang Shu found the way down the mountain. He even saw the lively village at the foot of the mountain from a distance, and couldn't help but quicken his pace.
But as soon as he turned a corner, Xiang Shu's feet were nailed to the spot.
I saw the old man in gray clothes blocking the road in front of him. His left shoulder was bloody and his arm was missing. The long knife in his right hand was the one from last night.
Xiang Shu turned pale and backed away slowly.
The formation portal she opened yesterday was very small. After she got out, the portal retracted and became even smaller. The man holding the sword was bigger than her, so she was 90% sure of trapping him in the formation.
But is this person crazy? He actually had to chase him out even though he was seriously injured and his arm was broken? !
"If it weren't for you, how could I end up like this?"
The gray servant's voice was hoarse, and he raised his head to reveal a pair of blood-red eyes, full of murderous intent, approaching step by step.
Xiang Shu was quickly forced to retreat to the edge of the cliff, with no way to retreat.
To retreat is death, to advance is death.
Xiang Shen bit her lip and a piece of blood came out, and she was almost overwhelmed by the unwillingness in her heart.
After finally reviving her life, how could she die here so easily?
She is not willing to give in!
Before she could think of a solution, the gray servant suddenly shouted and slashed with the knife with a crazy look on his face, even faster than last night.
Between life and death, there was no room for overthinking. Xiang Shen simply did not dodge and held his breath. When the knife was facing her, she suddenly rolled sideways and fell to the ground in a panic.
The gray servant was shocked, his cloudy eyes were so frightened that he woke up a little. Seeing that he was in mid-air, his expression became more desperate and ferocious. He grabbed Xiang Shen by the back, pulled her hard, and pulled her off the cliff.
The biting mountain wind made it hard to open his eyes, Xiang Shu's face was full of bitterness.
Is this the end?
If I die again this time, I'm afraid I will really die.
"I'm afraid... I'll never see you again."
Two figures fell into the cliff one after the other, kicking up a cloud of dust that eventually settled.
…
After an unknown amount of time, Xiang Shu woke up in a daze. When he opened his eyes, he saw a narrow sky.
After a moment of confusion, she realized she was at the bottom of the cliff.
Are you actually still alive? !
She struggled to sit up and saw the unrecognizable corpse beneath her, wondering how she survived.
But even if the knife holder was used as a meat pad, she felt extremely uncomfortable at the moment. Her whole body was in pain. The pain made her break into a cold sweat. She didn't know whether it was a broken bone or internal bleeding.
After resting for a moment, she gritted her teeth and stood up. Feeling that the world was spinning, she quickly held on to the stone wall and walked slowly.
There is a very narrow valley at the bottom of the cliff. There is only one way to go in and out. After walking in one direction for a while, Xiang Sheng's vision suddenly opened up and he came to a dark natural cave. Only a light shone in the middle of the cave. I don't know. What is it.
Xiang Shen took a closer look and found that it was a spring. She had been thirsty for a long time, so she knelt in front of the spring and drank.
The spring water was cold and sweet, and after drinking it, there was a feeling of warmth in my stomach. It was extremely comfortable, and there was even a numb and itchy feeling on my shoulders.
She quickly opened the torn clothes and took a look, and found that the wound on her shoulder was scabbing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This water not only wraps the belly, but also heals wounds.
Xiang Shu was greatly surprised and immediately drank several more gulps until he couldn't drink anymore and then lay down against the stone wall.
Xiang Shu lay quietly in the dark cave, unable to see his fingers, but felt extremely peaceful in his heart, a peace he had never felt since he traveled through time.
No matter what happens in the future, at least she survived successfully, and she can continue to practice and seek the truth.
Still, keep looking for him...
The spring water was "tick-tock" and "tick-tock", which seemed to have a soothing effect. Xiang Shu gradually couldn't open his eyelids and fell into a sleepy sleep.
Just after she fell asleep, the spring suddenly burst into light, and a suction force appeared out of thin air, covering Xiang Shen completely, sucking it into the spring and disappearing.
boom!
Falling from the air and falling to the ground, Xiang Shu was woken up directly and got up with a confused look on his face.
What you see is a brightly lit stone room.
The interior furnishings are simple, with only a long stone table and a futon spread in front of the table. It is clean and spotless.
How did you get here?
There is no door in the stone chamber, how to get out?
Ever since she entered the Blazing Flame Sect, she seemed to have never stopped being unlucky.
Sighing slightly, Xiang Sheng touched the surrounding stone wall and knocked. A large area of forbidden lines appeared, which frightened her so much that she stepped back and did not dare to knock again.
Turning around and walking to the futon, Xiang Shu looked at the empty stone table, hesitated, and sat on the futon.
As soon as he sat down, the sound of mechanical rotation came from the stone table in front of him, a gap opened in the middle, and a jade box slowly rose up.
Xiang Shu frowned for a moment, took out the jade box and opened it. There was only an envelope inside.
Not to mention disappointed, Xiang Shu opened the letter and glanced at it. There were only two lines of words on it.
"There is a treasure left in this secret room to be given to the destined person.
If you can find it, it's yours. If you can't find it, you will die trapped here, no need to say more. "
Is it a test...
Xiang Shu put down the letter thoughtfully and checked the jade box again, but found nothing special.
There were very few furnishings in the room. Xiang Shu found no other mechanisms on the futon and stone table, so he could only use clumsy methods to knock on the stone bricks in the room one by one.
The letters on the left and right asked her to find the treasure, but she would not be shocked to death by the restrictions on the wall.
However, after knocking on all the stone bricks, Xiang Shu still found nothing unusual.
Sitting down on the futon again, Xiang Shu frowned and looked at the stone room.
Fortunately, she drank enough spring water before coming in. Although a long time passed, she did not feel hungry. The injuries on her body were mostly healed and no longer affected her movements.
But if she never finds the baby and is trapped here, she will starve to death sooner or later.
How to find it?
The senior set up the test just because he didn't want the treasure to fall into the hands of a fool, but the room was empty and there was nothing.
Could it be that this was a prank set by an evil cultivator to tease her severely and then let her die in despair?
Xiang Shen was thinking, knocking on the wall unconsciously, watching the forbidden lines appear repeatedly on the stone wall, suddenly his eyes condensed, and he stood up.
The forbidden lines that appear every time seem to be different.
She tried tapping again, but found that the patterns were the same.
Did you just see it wrong?
Looking at the bare wall, Xiang Shen thought for a moment, then walked to the first row of bricks on the left and tapped lightly.
The lines appeared, and after a while, they disappeared.
Xiang Shu walked to the second row of stone bricks and knocked them down, and the lines appeared again.
This time, it's a completely different texture.
