Xiaochen glanced at Wang Changlai and saw that he had no intention of speaking, so he said, "Of course the two of us have no objections."
"Okay, let's go then!" Commander Zhang also said the same, and was about to gather everyone.
At this time, Murong Longyue struggled for a moment and said: "These mortals are burdensome to carry around, so why not just leave them here."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Chen and Wang Changlai immediately paused. What did this mean? Did they mean that there was danger ahead and they didn't want to take mortals there to die, but the meaning of this was too obvious.
Commander Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then said seriously: "This is not okay. We all came in together. How can we leave them like this just because we are weak?"
Murong Longyue's words were also heard by some mortals. At this time, they were also afraid of being left behind and quickly gathered near Commander Zhang. They did not dare to show any hostility towards Murong Longyue, but their eyes were still full of distrust.
Seeing this, Murong Longyue stopped saying anything and walked forward minding her own business. Just like before, behind her were Xiao Chen and Wang Changlai, followed by Commander Zhang who had gathered a circle of people.
Walking inward along the village road, after turning a small mountain col, a large and complete village appeared in front of everyone. Although the villages had some signs of damage, most of them were still intact, and some of them were newly repaired. , it also represents the strangeness of the villagers leaving.
At this time, everyone also noticed that there seemed to be a huge bluestone in the middle of the village. The bluestone was divided into upper and lower ends. The upper part was like a human head with two eyes, one mouth and three grooves, while the lower part was a single piece. The huge bluestone is in the shape of thin strips, with a total height of dozens of feet.
"This is the template for the villagers to carve stone sculptures!" Xiao Chen was naturally a little surprised. The huge stone he saw now was the template carved by the villagers before. Although the details and coordination were not as good as the huge bluestone in front of him, the overall The feeling remains the same.
"Look, the ropes under the bluestone are covered with yellow and red blessing spells." Murong Longyue said in surprise at this time, attracting everyone's attention to that side.
At this time, gusts of breeze blew by, and the small wind chimes tied under the blessing spell were making a crisp sound with the sound of the wind.
Xiaochen took a closer look and thought: "Sure enough, the incense has turned into a spirit. The power of so many blessings plus the huge incense cauldron in front of the blue stone."
Even though the strong incense rising like thick fog can no longer be seen in the incense cauldron, it can still be seen from the incense dust left in the cauldron how strong the incense was in front of the bluestone.
Wang Changlai felt suddenly uncomfortable. The bluestone gave him a very wrong feeling. It did not have much auspicious feeling. Instead, it made his back feel chilly.
"Brother Xiao, there's something wrong with that bluestone." Wang Changlai said something next to Xiaochen.
Xiao Chen frowned. In this situation, there was not much auspiciousness around him. Instead, there was a sense of heat. He also found something was wrong, but he did not use his spiritual sense to explore. In this situation, spiritual sense exploration On the contrary, it is easy to awaken sleeping spirits. If it is a good spirit, it is okay, but if it is an evil spirit, it will be troublesome.
"Based on the feeling that Qingshi gives me now, I am obviously more inclined towards evil spirits." Xiaochen thought.
After hearing Wang Changlai's message, Xiaochen nodded in agreement, and the two of them immediately slowed down decisively.
Commander Zhang and his party appeared to be even more cautious. They stopped a hundred meters away from the blue stone and stopped to watch.
Murong Longyue noticed the strangeness of everyone behind her without looking back. She didn't say anything more and stepped forward without slowing down.
Finally, when he was 10 meters away from the bluestone, the bluestone seemed to vibrate, and then the stone above it turned slightly. He looked at Murong Longyue who was walking below him, seeming to be wondering about something.
"Qingshi is alive!" Wang Changlai whispered and immediately stopped moving forward.
Xiao Chen continued walking. The spirit of mountains and rivers originally represented auspiciousness and beauty, and there should be no danger. Although the state of the bluestone in front of him was obviously wrong, Murong Longyue was still moving forward, so he could just follow.
Seeing Xiaochen continue to move forward, Wang Changlai gritted his teeth and stepped to follow.
Murong Longyue looked back when she was almost in front of the bluestone, raised the corners of her mouth, and smiled inexplicably. Then she touched the surface of the bluestone with her hand. In an instant, she disappeared like dissipated light dust.
Xiaochen's pupils shrank suddenly, and then he immediately ran towards Qingshi without hesitation.
"Brother Xiao, wait for me." Wang Changlai was stunned for a moment, and immediately followed Xiaochen's actions when he saw it.
As Murong Yuyue disappeared, the surface of the bluestone began to crack, and traces of purple flames began to burn. In just a few moments, the purple flames climbed into the head of the stone above the bluestone, and the bluestone also became more and more fragile as it shattered. Big, against the backdrop of purple flames, it looks like a burning giant.
At this time, the doubts on the bluestone also dissipated. It looked at Xiaochen and Wang Changlai in front of it and seemed to be struggling with something, but in the end it waved the broken stone arm down.
Fortunately, Xiaochen reacted quickly enough, and while he was struggling, he grabbed the blue stone and touched the broken stone that was burned by the purple fire. In an instant, a burst of light flowed, and a white light enveloped his sight.
When the white light dissipated, Xiao Chen blinked his dizzy and uncomfortable eyes. He was already in the valley again, but this time there was no purple fire in the valley, although some cracks and cracks were vaguely visible on the ground. There are traces of earthworks, but it is generally peaceful.
Just when Xiao Chen was slightly stunned, Murong Longyue, who was standing not far from Xiao Chen, unsheathed his long sword and swung it towards Xiao Chen's neck. Although there was some struggle in his eyes, he quickly became firm.
In order to become stronger, she had no choice but to eliminate the competitors behind her one by one. Besides, the white jade statue was still on Xiaochen. Although she didn't know what the white jade statue was for, she still felt that she should take it. It's better to keep it in your own hands.
When Xiaochen fell to the ground, his spiritual thoughts had already swept around him. Although his vision was still a little blurry due to being shaken, he still noticed Murong Longyue's swing of the sword. He then dodged back, opened some distance, and moved his right hand. With the trend of his spiritual thoughts, the long sword from behind flew out, and the sword repelled Murong Longyue's attack. Then he was about to swing the sword to continue the attack, when he felt a fluctuation in the surrounding space.
He immediately chose to retreat and looked over there warily.
"Ahhh! It's so hot!!!"
A scream like a slaughtering pig came out. Wang Changlai fell behind Xiaochen because of that slight hesitation. When he touched the bluestone, the bluestone had already been extremely hot, as if he was holding it in his hand. Like a flaming coal, he couldn't help but scream.
Then the dizziness in front of him made him cover his hands and scream.
Murong Longyue saw that Xiaochen could not be killed with one blow and that Wang Changlai had already arrived, so he immediately fled towards the bamboo forest.
Xiaochen thought for a moment and stopped pursuing. He still understood the principle of chasing the enemy when he was in trouble. Murong Longyue was obviously very familiar with this space. If he followed rashly, it would be very easy for him to be ambushed.
At present, we need to understand what happened just now. Looking at the environment outside the valley, does it seem that we have arrived before the village was burned down?
There was also the violent purple fire on the bluestone. Xiao Chen had never heard of such violent destructive power in the spirit of mountains and rivers.
"Brother Xiao!" Wang Changlai wailed with tears in his eyes. He had used his spiritual energy to protect himself, but when he touched the bluestone, his spiritual energy disappeared inexplicably.
"Just now when I landed, Murong Longyue sneak attacked me and wanted to kill me." Xiaochen simply said the situation just now, his eyes were extremely cold.
Wang Changlai was very surprised and asked quickly: "What! Brother Xiao, are you injured? Where is Murong Longyue?"
He glanced around Xiaochen several times, and when he saw that he was not injured, he immediately felt a little disappointed, but he hid it well and did not show it.
Xiao Chen put away his sword and said calmly: "I'm fine. I had a sword fight with her. When she saw that she failed, she saw you landing on the ground, so she left."
Wang Changlai's expression changed several times in succession, and he thought: "If I had landed first just now, wouldn't I have been in danger?"
Then he said with hatred on his face: "Brother Xiao, this woman is so vicious, we must deal with her carefully, and if we have the chance, we must kill her."
After looking at Wang Changlai lightly, Xiaochen shook his head and said, "We'll see if there's an opportunity later. Murong Yuyue just walked into the bamboo forest. Let's follow."
Xiaochen could see Wang Changlai's resentment at the performance. Was he trying to gain his favor? It seems that the white jade statue on his body is quite unusual. Not only Murong Longyue wants it, but Wang Changlai in front of him also wants it.
"Okay!" Wang Changlai also restrained himself after hearing this, and looked at the place where he just landed with some fear.
As for the remaining people, they may still have a life if they stay on the edge of the village according to Murong Longyue's words, but now there is a high probability that there is no chance. The moment the bluestone was touched by Murong Longyue, Xiaochen felt that the bluestone was at least a Nascent Soul cultivation level and above, and its aura was very violent, so he made the decision to speed up.
Wang Changlai noticed the unusual scenery outside the valley, and then he looked a little confused, as if he was thinking about something.
Murong Luyue's face was covered with frost. If her sneak attack failed just now, it would be difficult to have a chance later. This Xiaochen was more difficult to deal with than she thought. If she had known it, she would not have taken action, but then she would have lost the chance to get that Opportunities for white jade statues.
The white jade statue gave her a strange feeling, always making her feel a strong possessive feeling in her heart.
The bamboo forest soon reached the end. Murong looked at the village in front of her with some reminiscences. This was the hometown her mother often described to her. She had just met her after hearing about it for a long time, so naturally she felt a little dazed.
