Only ten days after receiving Yuan Qing's promise, Wei Shan was sent to work on the grounds that "all except the disabled must go into battle to kill the enemy." In desperation, he could only leave Yunzhou and find a small building to live in.
After more than ten days of trembling, the leader finally sent a message to summon him. Only when he arrived did he realize that the war had resumed, and this time not only did he have to form a team, but he also had to go deep into the enemy's territory.
Without thinking about it, Wei Shan immediately returned to his residence as quickly as possible, put away some items, released the transmission talisman, followed closely behind, and headed straight for Yuan Qing.
When I entered the small courtyard, I was really shocked. I didn't expect that there were so many people in the courtyard, and I felt their aura. Half of them were "big monks" in the late stage of foundation building, and they were all looking at me.
Wei Shan suddenly froze on the spot, the bright smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and his hands were uneasy and he didn't know where to put them.
"This is Wei Shan," Yuan Qing's calm voice sounded, "I promised that if a war breaks out, I will protect one or two of them."
When Wei Shan heard this, he immediately reacted, bowed his head towards the front, and shouted: "Hello, fellow senior brothers and sisters! Hello, senior brother Yuan!"
Everyone was originally wondering when Yuan Qing would make promises to others casually based on his temperament. Now seeing his behavior, they became even more curious and looked at him up and down non-stop.
I saw that she was young, about thirteen or fourteen years old; her cultivation level was not high, only at the early stage; she was a woman but dressed as a man, she was thin and small, and she looked like a tomboy.
Yuan Qing nodded slightly to Wei Shan, indicating that there was no need to worry, and then said: "Don't worry, everyone, this is Yuan's personal matter and will not hinder others."
Li Yang frowned slightly and originally wanted to give some advice, but hearing Yuan Qing's firm words, he had no choice but to smile bitterly.
The rest of the people had different expressions, and they were all thinking secretly.
Zhao Yimu and others looked at each other and said, "We have no objection."
Wang Qing also laughed and said: "Brother Yuan has said so, what else can you say? As usual, if you can't beat me, just go to me, Lao Wang."
Yuan Qing's heart warmed when he heard this, and he raised his hands to Wang Qing. The latter smiled and returned the gesture with fists in his hands.
Liu Han remained silent, her eyes flashing, wondering what she was planning.
Zhu Ling'er's eyes flashed with purple light, she moved lightly, walked to Wei Shan, and said softly: "My name is Zhu Ling'er, I believe you have packed everything, why don't you just move here and live with me."
The soft voice reached his ears, coupled with the beautiful face of the female cultivator in front of him and the orchid breath, Wei Shan stood stunned for a moment and murmured: "What a beautiful sister!"
Zhu Ling'er couldn't help but smile when she heard this, as if it were a bright spring day.
Wei Shan became even more intoxicated when he saw it, his cheeks turned red and he was speechless.
Han Hongrui looked at Yuan Qing, walked away, and said coldly to Wei Shan: "Yes, since we are in the same team, we can get familiar with each other earlier, and it will be easier to move in the future."
Listening to this cold voice, Wei Shan came to his senses with a start, then bowed to the end and said respectfully: "Yes, senior sister."
Han Hongrui didn't react, but Zhu Ling'er smiled even brighter.
Seeing this, Zhao Yimu gently shook his folding fan and said calmly: "In that case, let's finalize the list. This will save you long nights and many dreams."
"Yes, a certain family means the same thing." Wang Qing nodded and agreed, then turned over his hand and took out a white jade tube, placed it between his eyebrows, put it down after holding a stick of incense, and then gently tossed it to Zhao Yimu.
Zhao Yimu grasped it with his empty hand, then put it between his eyebrows, took it off soon, and handed it to the person next to him.
The rest were circulated one by one, and when Yuan Qing got it, he saw eleven phantoms printed inside, all with descriptions, and two lines of small characters floating below, indicating the name of the cultivator.
After the circulation was completed, Zhao Yimu glanced at Wei Shan intentionally or unintentionally. The latter suddenly felt frightened, and then asked lightly: "Which fellow Taoist do you think should send the list?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Dongxing said loudly: "I just want to ask Senior Sister Bai Zhi for a job, why don't you leave it to me."
"I'll go too!" Wei Shan shouted loudly in a moment of urgency.
Seeing everyone looking at her with amused expressions, she smiled and explained: "Hey, I just remembered that I have to go to the Treasure Exchange Palace to prepare some talismans and magic weapons. I'm on my way."
With a "pop" sound, Zhao Yimu closed the folding fan, cupped his hands and said, "Everyone, if there is nothing else to do, I will leave now."
Wang Qing took a few steps forward and replied, "Brother Zhao, go away. See you in seven days."
After saying that, Zhao Yimu and others turned and left.
Han Dongxing took the jade tube, smiled at Wei Shan and said, "Junior sister Wei, let's go, things will change later."
As if awakening from a dream, Wei Shan hurriedly took out the magic weapon, but it was a banana leaf, all green and sparkling, and you could tell at a glance that it was not an ordinary thing.
"Senior brother is right, let's leave quickly! How about I take you? My leaves fly very fast!"
"Hahaha!"
Han Dongxing released the spirit boat and flew away through the air.
When Wei Shan saw this, he hurriedly fired several spells. With the green light, the banana leaf rolled up the girl, turned into a brilliant color and soared into the sky. In an instant, she caught up with Han Dongxing, and after a slight pause, she passed her.
The girl's clear voice came from the air: "Senior brother, I didn't mean it, I couldn't control it!"
Wang Qing walked to Yuan Qing and laughed: "Junior brother Yuan, where did you meet such a tomboy?"
Yuan Qing smiled lightly and shook his head. Looking at the distant rainbow light in the sky, a thin figure holding a wooden sword in his mind unconsciously appeared in his mind.
"elder brother."
That night.
The young man stood alone on the top of the mountain, the moonlight was bright and the stars were brilliant. Not long after, a light purple rainbow light cut through the night and fell next to the young man.
"Ling'er, you're here." The young man's gentle voice sounded softly.
"Yes," the girl smiled lightly at Pingting, her voice was as gentle as the gentle water, and her shape was like a clear lotus.
"That little girl is very good, with excellent talent. Although she has some small thoughts, she is very simple and kind in nature. She is indeed somewhat similar to the child in the mountain village you mentioned."
Yuan Qing smiled slightly and said: "The one who knows me is Ling'er. But where does this excellent talent come from?"
Zhu Ling'er smiled and rolled her eyes at him, and then said: "I have recently cultivated a 'purifying eye' magical power, which is quite miraculous. Looking at it with this method, I found that he is only fourteen years old, has the body of a wood spirit, and has magical powers. Pure, with long energy and a faint air of everyone."
Yuan Qing frowned slightly and asked doubtfully: "Could it be that he comes from a famous family?"
Zhu Ling'er pursed her lips and smiled after hearing this: "Which famous disciple would be so popular? In my opinion, most of them were born in the world like the two of us. They might not have even been to the sect, so they built their own foundation and entered the sect by chance. .”
Yuan Qing nodded thoughtfully, then smiled casually and said lightly: "What I did was just in line with my heart. After this battle, I don't know whether we will see each other again. Even if I am a genius, what does it have to do with me?"
Zhu Ling'er also smiled faintly after hearing this and sighed softly: "Yes, as time goes by, how many so-called geniuses can see the beauty of the road?"
Yuan Qing looked at the beauty's trance, and suddenly his heart moved. He put his arms around her waist and hugged her into his arms.
Zhu Ling'er was startled at first, then her face turned red, and her body was like a weak willow, letting it carry him, and gently pressed against the young man's chest.
With the mountain breeze as companion and the stars and moon as support, the two figures gradually merged into one, making it difficult to separate.
For a long time, the two of them let go at the same time as if they had a common understanding, took half a step back, and couldn't help but smile knowingly when their eyes met.
Suddenly there was a flash of white light, and a light blue jade bracelet and a pair of green and white spikes appeared in the boy's hand, and he handed it over as he spoke.
"The name of the bracelet is Guanghan. It is based on cold jade. It can release cold energy to trap the enemy, and it can also be used as a shield to protect the body. It is the best in number and integrates offense and defense. The thorn is the breeze, coming and going like the wind. It is extremely sharp. It is both the best and has killing power. Extraordinary. If you become more familiar with it these days, it will definitely come in handy in the future."
Zhu Ling'er happily took the jade bracelet, put away the spikes, and took out a sapphire pendant, which looked like a divine bird, but only half of it.
"This is Naihe Pendant. It is originally a pair. The other one is on my body. It can protect the body and become invisible. It can also hide the air and silence the sound. It can be found anywhere in the world, but Naihe can't answer it. You have to put it close to me and don't take it. Down."
As he said that, he took out the other half, and the two of them emitted a green light as if they were connected.
Yuan Qing felt warm in his heart, and put it away close to his body, with infinite tenderness in his eyes. Zhu Ling'er looked at the young man and smiled playfully, and then asked pretending to be jealous: "Okay, now please tell me about your relationship with this man, Sword Immortal Yuan Da. It’s a story between Junior Sister Wei.”
Yuan Qing chuckled and replied: "There's no story. It's just that I went to the Material Appraisal Hall that day and happened to..."
Small courtyard.
Wei Shan woke up from his trance and tiptoed outside the house. When he saw no one around, he let go of his courage and walked around the two small courtyards. I don't know what she was thinking of, but the little girl had a look on her face, and the corners of her mouth could not help but raise higher and higher.
Seven days later, the meeting hall.
A group of foundation-building monks stood in groups, whispering among themselves.
Not long after, a white light flashed, and Bai Zhi appeared at the entrance, followed by a one-armed man in a purple robe, who was Han Dongxing.
When the two came to the front of the hall, Bai Zhi gave Han Dongxing a brief signal, and the latter immediately stepped forward, took out a palm-sized jade book, and said loudly: "Brothers whose names are read, please come forward and receive the token: Xuan Yi." , Su Tianqi, Su Ziyi, Leng Yan..."
What Yuan Qing and others received was a small jade plaque with "Xuan Qi" engraved on it. After identifying the owner with blood, a large map immediately appeared in his mind, and at the same time a faint male voice sounded: "At midnight tonight, the formation gate will gather."
After a stick of incense, the tokens were distributed. Han Dongxing coughed lightly and continued: "The order contains a topographic map of the mountains surrounding Beiliang Mountain with a radius of thousands of miles. It also has the ability to transmit sound and take photos. It will be the leader of future battles." The proof of merit should be treasured and never lost.”
After saying that, he stepped back.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Zhi took a few steps forward, bowed her head, and said, "May you all come back victorious." Her voice was cold and decisive, but it had an unshakable firmness.
Everyone who heard this looked solemn and returned the greeting with their hands raised, and the hall was silent for a moment.
After the ceremony, everyone dispersed, leaving only Bai Zhi and Han Dongxing in the hall.
After standing for another moment, Bai Zhi said lightly, "Junior brother, do it yourself." Then she tapped her toes, her body was like a startled dragon, and she left the hall after a few ups and downs, disappearing without a trace.
Han Dongxing stood there, bowed, and then went out, looking at the white clouds, and sighed softly.
"Little sister..."
Zishi.
More than ten monks gathered at the gate of the formation, both men and women, all of whom were practicing foundation building. They were faintly divided into two groups. They did not talk to each other. A thin figure among them looked around nervously.
Not long after, two escaping lights rose from the cloud boat, falling to the ground like meteors, and landed in front of everyone, revealing two figures, one black and one purple.
The man in black robe is handsome, with a slender figure and long hair reaching his waist. As a man, he can hardly hide his feminine temperament; the man in purple robe has a round face, a pig nose, a short and fat figure, a pair of small triangular eyes that twinkle, and is cunning and cunning, with his chest held high and his hands behind his back. , acting like a superior, very awkward.
Before the two of them spoke, Zhao Yimu and others bowed their heads and said respectfully: "I've met Uncle Wen."
The man in black responded lightly, raised his hand to signal him to stand up, and then said to Yuan Qing and others: "My name is Zhao Wen, and I am the leader of your team. This is..."
"I am the Pearl of Power," before he finished speaking, the man in purple robe stepped forward, "I am the vice-captain. From now on, you must follow my instructions and do your best..."
"snort!"
With a cold snort in his ears, Wei Jizhu immediately stopped talking and looked at Zhao Wen with a sneer on his face. The latter's face was gloomy and full of disgust.
Although Yuan Qing and others felt a little strange, they bowed and saluted: "I have met Senior Brother Zhao, Senior Brother Wei."
Zhao Wen nodded slightly, took out the token, flicked out a little inspiration, and then said: "I have marked the goal of this trip on the map. If there is no objection, let's set off."
After hearing this, everyone took out their tokens and looked in with their spiritual consciousness. They saw a red dot shining brightly in the mountains about two hundred miles west of Beiliang.
Zhao Wen waited for a moment, and when no one spoke, he flicked his sleeves, whispered "Let's go", and then transformed into black light and blended into the vast night. Wei Jizhu smiled and followed closely behind with the green escape light.
Yuan Qing and others glanced at each other, then released their magic weapons, transformed into rainbow lights, and hurriedly followed.
At the same time, somewhere on the mainland, in a dark cave.
There was a flash of purple light, and a Taoist nun in her late thirties appeared. She swept the whisk lightly, and the breeze suddenly rose. The dust suddenly flew up. With a "fix", it actually gathered into a fist-sized black ball and fell on the ground. aside.
Looking inside the cave, there is a huge magic array carved on the ground, which is dozens of feet in diameter. The array pattern is exquisite and complicated, and there are nine wedge-shaped grooves in the middle.
After careful inspection, the Taoist nun walked to the center of the formation and took out nine spiritual stones. The spiritual light was dazzling, and spiritual liquid even condensed on the surface.
After placing one of them, the Taoist nun cast a spell, and the stone cave exploded, and then the array pattern brightened, and an indescribable majestic spiritual pressure rose into the sky, and then the bright light pillar tore through the void, straight into the Qingming, across the sky and the earth. between.
After a few breaths, the beam of light dissipated, and the Taoist nun was nowhere to be seen. There were only nine spiritual stones with grayish white surfaces. After a soft sound, they turned into debris on the ground and were picked up by the wind and scattered somewhere unknown.
