The Golden Light Divine Mantra was chanted faster and faster in Li Qingxiao's mouth, and there was more and more golden light. Soon a golden light shield was formed, covering Li Qingxiao.
Li Qingxiao went to open the palace door. As soon as he touched the door knocker, the protective shields at the door knocker opened and shot out thousands of rays of light, which bounced Li Qingxiao's hand away.
It turns out that this is the case, there is a defensive formation at the gate of the main hall.
He decided to give it a try before punching out, hitting the door knocker with a powerful push that pushed Li Qingxiao far away.
Li Qingxiao, who was sitting on the ground, stood up and looked at the sky: It's four or five o'clock in the morning, so he should go back first. Shen Shenmeng was still at the inn, and he was worried as time passed.
After searching a person on the ground, he found a long rope. He fixed the long rope to a huge rock and threw the long rope down. Li Qingxiao followed the long rope, climbed the cliff wall with his feet, and slowly descended.
The bright moonlight shone on him, and the shadows of people and trees intertwined in the moonlight, swaying in the autumn wind.
Soon we hit rock bottom. There was a big river in front of him with fast flowing water. I remember when he came, Yingjiu clapped his hands, and he also clapped his hands, but the wooden stakes in the water did not appear. he
He became anxious in his heart. If this continued, he would not be able to get through it no matter what.
Just when he was anxious, a slightly hoarse female voice came: "Young hero, I will help you cross the river, and you promise to do something for me. What do you think?"
In a deserted place, the sound appeared so suddenly that Li Qingxiao was startled and thought, how could there be anyone here?
"Young hero, don't worry, I'm just a lingering thought. After I tell you what happened, I will dissipate." Seeing that Li Qingxiao was a little frightened, the hoarse female voice sounded again.
"I accept this deal, but what you want me to do must be a matter of justice, otherwise there is no need to discuss it."
"Young hero, please rest assured. I, Wu Qianqian, have been practicing for hundreds of years and naturally know the laws of heaven and earth. The current of this river is very fast and cannot be crossed without activating the wooden stakes at the bottom of the river. Even if I can fly with a sword, I will still be hit by the wave sword in the center of the river. kill."
"The activation of the wooden stakes at the bottom of the river requires an ancient secret spell. I will pass this spell on to you later. I only hope that one day you can open the door of the Falcon Hall and bring out the people of my tribe - --Ah---I hate it so much---"
As he spoke, there were bursts of piercing screams, the screams were so miserable and painful.
Soon, the shouting stopped, and Li Qingxiao quickly asked: "Is the Falcon Palace you mentioned the one on the cliff?"
"To tell you the truth, I just came down from above and I had already killed all the people at the Divine Eagle Gate. There was a defensive formation at the gate of the main hall, and I couldn't get in. However, even if you didn't tell me, I would have gone in. I don’t know if there are any so-called tribesmen of yours, but there is so much resentment inside, and I don’t know what is inside?”
"You said you have killed Ying Wushuang and Tan Haijiang. How is this possible? They are heaven-level warriors, plus the Nine Palaces Flying Eagle Formation. Impossible--impossible--" The hoarse female voice sounded extremely excited. .
"Believe it or not, what I said is the truth." Li Qingxiao said lightly.
After a long time, the woman did not answer.
Li Qingxiao thought that this lingering thought could not be sustained and had disappeared. Just when he was about to step into the river to test the depth, the hoarse voice came again:
"Hahaha, retribution, retribution----Ying Wushuang, Tan Haijiang, you two beasts---hahaha---"
After laughing wildly for a while, the hoarse female voice regained its composure:
"I went up and saw their bodies. No matter why you killed them, it was like a favor to me. Thank you. In fact, that hall was originally called Lingying Hall. After it was occupied by those two beasts, it was renamed Hunting Hall. The Eagle Palace specializes in hunting newly born eaglets and cultivating the resentful spirits they need. I hate it so much——I won’t say more, there are people from my tribe in the hall, please help me, Wu Qianqian There will be retribution in the next life.”
"In this case, even if you don't say it, I will do it. But right now, I still have my own things to do. When it is resolved, I will come back immediately and find a way to break through the defense formation and rescue the people of your tribe. Please forgive me."
"Young hero, if you have anything to do, go ahead and do it. As long as you don't forget it in the future, the little girl will be grateful."
After saying that, a weak thought was transmitted into Li Qingxiao's sea of consciousness, and the ancient golden words appeared in his mind. After Li Qingxiao learned it, the residual thought was extremely weak and quickly disappeared.
After reciting the incantation, Li Qingxiao clapped his hands, and in a moment, wooden stakes emerged from the fast river, creating waves.
Li Qingxiao walked onto the wooden pile, quickly crossed the river, came to the mountain road, and galloped along the mountain road he came from.
Early the next morning, Li Qingxiao rushed back to the inn. In the guest room, Li Qingxiao read a letter.
Facing the empty room, Li Qingxiao sighed softly. It turned out that after he left, a large number of masters came in. Mu Nianqin and Mu Huaiping saw that the situation was not right, so they asked Shen Shenmeng for help.
In the end, Shen Shenmeng reluctantly agreed to follow Mu Nianqin and Mu Huaiping back to Yuncheng.
That day, Li Qingxiao decided to go to Jingyimen to completely resolve Duan Hongyu's matter.
One day later, Li Qingxiao arrived at Jingyimen, but the entrance formation had already been set up here.
After thinking for a long time, he could only find another way. He walked along the cliff road from the back mountain. After walking for a few miles, he came to a small cave. The entrance of the cave could only allow one person to pass through. Li Qingxiao didn't think much and left. Go in.
The further you go, the wider the cave becomes. There are several torches deep in the cave, lighting up the entire cave passage.
He touched the cave wall and found that it was a little damp, with water dripping down in some places, and continued to move forward.
Not far away, he discovered that there was a spring pool in a part of the cave. The spring was very small, with water splashing out and making "dong dong" sounds from time to time.
Suddenly, a burst of sobbing came from the other side of the spring pool, intermittently. Li Qingxiao was startled and slowly turned to the other side of the spring pool, where he saw two figures in the distance.
When I got closer, I saw two people: a boy and a girl, about thirteen or fourteen years old. They were dressed very roughly, in linen clothes, with a rope braided from bark tied around their waists.
The one sobbing was a girl. She was sitting on the ground, leaning her back on a stone, and a boy was lying in her arms.
The girl may have been too focused on sobbing, but she didn't notice Li Qingxiao's arrival at all. When she saw Li Qingxiao standing in front of them, there was a look of fear on her face, her whole body was trembling, and she even forgot to sob for a moment.
When Li Qingxiao saw the girl's face, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart. There was a scar engraved on the hungry and thin face. No, that was not a scar, but a brand. The word "slave" was engraved on the brand. It was hard to imagine that such a small child was How did the girl endure such pain.
A head of withered and yellow hair, as unkempt as weeds. On the body covered with skin and bones, the only thing that could be seen as a living person was the pair of clear eyes, staring blankly at Li Qingxiao with incomparable fear.
She hugged the boy in her arms tightly and stepped back subconsciously, but she may have forgotten that there was a huge boulder on her back. No matter how hard she tried, she always stayed in place, but she kept moving back.
"Little sister, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person." Li Qingxiao said distressedly.
The girl just blinked her eyes and stared closely at Li Qingxiao. Perhaps she confirmed that Li Qingxiao did not mean any harm. Her body gradually relaxed a little, but she still said vigilantly:
"Who are you? Are you here to catch us?"
"I came in from outside, not to catch you. What's wrong with you two?" Li Qingxiao said doubtfully.
The girl looked at Li Qingxiao carefully and seemed to find that Li Qingxiao was not lying, so she continued:
"In the past few days, many people have been coming in from outside. I believe you, please go."
Li Qingxiao looked at the girl's sallow complexion, thin skin, and severe malnutrition. She felt sad in her heart and the corners of her eyes were wet.
From the space bag, he took out a few pieces of peach blossom cake and handed them to the girl.
The girl glanced at Li Qingxiao in surprise, stretched out her hands like dead branches, took the peach blossom cake, and immediately ate it hungrily.
In the blink of an eye, the girl had eaten most of it, leaving only a small piece of peach blossom cake tightly clenched in her hand, as if someone was trying to snatch it away.
She gently leaned the boy against the stone, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed while saying: "Bing'er, the bitch, thanks my benefactor."
The girl named Bing'er didn't respond after kowtowing. Li Qingxiao got up, helped the boy up, brought the remaining piece of peach blossom cake to the boy's mouth, and sobbed softly:
"Brother Nushi, this thing is delicious. We have never eaten anything so delicious in our lives. Brother Nushi, wake up quickly. Bing'er left a piece for you."
At this time, Li Qingxiao looked at the young man named Nian Shi. He also had a mark on his face, and the mark also had the word "liu" on it. His face was sallow and thin, and he was as skinny as wood, just like the girl.
He found that the young man seemed to have suffered serious internal injuries. There was a faint trace of blood on the corner of his mouth, but it was not obvious. It was obvious that the young man had been wiped by someone, and he must be the Bing'er in front of him.
He walked forward, squatted down, picked up the young man's left wrist, and injected a stream of true energy into the young man's body. Slowly, some broken meridians grew back, but some seriously damaged meridians could not be repaired overnight. recovery.
Soon, the boy coughed a few times and spat out a mouthful of blood. He slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Bing'er, and then passed out again.
Bing'er saw that the young man's health improved miraculously as soon as Li Qingxiao put his hand. She immediately knelt on the ground again, kowtowed and said with sobs:
"Benefactor, please save Brother Nushi with great mercy. Bing'er, your humble slave, is willing to work as a cow or a horse to repay you."
When Li Qingxiao saw Bing'er like this, he quickly helped Bing'er up and said:
"Bing'er, don't kowtow all the time in the future. Just stand and talk. Your brother Nushi is seriously injured. Treatment will take time. Can you tell me what happened to you?"
Bing'er looked at Li Qingxiao in surprise again. Ever since she could remember, she would always kneel down and kowtow when she saw someone. This was their identity.
If you stand and talk, you will be beheaded. I don't know if this person coming in from the outside understands the rules here.
She blinked her eyes, as if recalling sad past events, and continued to sob:
"Brother Nushi and I were born as slaves of the Jingyi Sect. We were assigned to work in the mines a few years ago. We couldn't do heavy work and were only responsible for moving rocks. Brother Nashi was sick a few days ago and did not complete the required tasks. Quantity, I was beaten and scolded by the guards, rolled down the mine, and passed out. I secretly carried Brother Nushi on my back and escaped."
"You are so young and you have to do such heavy work. Where are your parents?" Li Qingxiao asked in confusion.
"We have no parents. We are slaves when we are born. Only when we work do we have food." Bing'er glanced at Li Qingxiao and said.
