Wearing Books as a Demon

At this moment, Ying Changlou panicked, not knowing whether to hide the wine glass or wipe his clothes, the frowning of the young man who looked at him in a hurry frowned even deeper.

Yaobai's calm eyes showed no emotion, and it was this abnormal attitude that made people even more frightened.

"I'm going to retreat with the sect master for a while." Yao Bai didn't mention what happened just now, and stopped talking after saying this, just looked at people quietly.

Ying Changlou was not used to such a talkative appearance, so if Yao Bai reprimanded him at this time, he would feel at ease.Although he felt that he had done nothing wrong, he was inexplicably guilty.

"Be careful." After stumbling for a long time, but only said this sentence, Ying Changlou felt a little frustrated in his heart, and he didn't have the heroic gesture of drinking just now.

Yao Bai took a deep look, turned around and left, his tall and straight figure showed no nostalgia.

It looked very chic, but it made the tip of Ying Changlou's nose sore.Being with this group of people for a long time made him as vulnerable as a person.After slamming the wine glass, Ying Changlou went back to the room full of anger.

This will calm down, and the more you think about it, the more angry you will be.

Drinking between men was a very common thing, but the young man's gaze made him seem to have committed an unforgivable sin.But Yaobai didn't mention it at all. He should feel lucky, but he felt dissatisfied with being ignored.

Ying Changlou felt like a failure. He, a big man, wanted to hang around a half-grown child, and he was coldly violent by the other party.

The point is that he still can't find a place to reason, which is really annoying.

Wandering around the room, Ying Changlou didn't sort out his thoughts, instead, the more he thought about it, the more confused he became, the more chaotic and irritable he became.

Unexpectedly, Yaobai came back in the evening and brought Zhang Shi's order.

"Elder Zhang wants us to find a medicine called Chuanwucao, which grows in a dangerous place." Yao Bai held a sword, packed a few clothes, and said to the stunned person.

Ying Changlou thought that this man came back to settle accounts, he was startled at first, and then he came back to his senses when he saw the young man busy packing up, including his clothes.

"Aren't you going to retreat? Why do you suddenly have to find something else?" Ying Changlou asked in bewilderment.

"This is the arrangement of Elder Zhang, and Senior Brother Zhao is also with us." When Yao Bai mentioned Zhao Yaming, a stern look flashed in his eyes, and his hand holding the sword tightened, with killing intent.

Ying Changlou could clearly see the young man's emotions, and couldn't help explaining, "Brother Yao, we just drank two glasses of wine and didn't do anything."

His original intention was to say that he and Zhao Yaming were not close, but he didn't know why the taste changed when he said it.Thinking of finding out that Yaming liked men, Ying Changlou added cautiously, "I don't like men."

Then he obviously felt that the boy's aura had changed, he seemed to sneer, and threw the package he was carrying heavily at him.

Ying Changlou was hit, clutching his sore spot and following the person, he couldn't understand what was going on in Yaobai's mind.Why did he explain it well, but it made people even more angry.

And Elder Zhang, is there such a rush to find Chuanwucao?He actually told them to leave at night.

What was even more surprising was that Chen Ran, who was thin and frail, also followed.

Now the four of them stood in front of the mountain gate, listening to Zhang Shi's various instructions.

"Chuanwu grass grows on the cliff wall, and it has hard thorns. This grass is as sharp as a sword, and you need to use this pair of cowhide gloves to pick it." Zhang Shi carefully handed the gloves to Yao Bai, with a serious expression , "Be sure to use gloves, and don't act recklessly, otherwise the medicine will be damaged."

The old man has been emphasizing the importance of gloves, saying that this mission is difficult.Ying Changlou felt a drum in his heart. According to his understanding, Zhang Shi would not harm Yaobai, but why did he do it temporarily.

To die and then to live?

"We will definitely live up to the expectations of the elders and the head of the sect." Yaobai said with a smile, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, gentle and polite yet steady.

Zhang Shi still wanted to say something more, but Zhao Yaming, who was standing by the side, laughed and said, "Don't worry, elder, I will definitely take good care of my juniors."

Now that the matter has come to this point, it is inconvenient for Zhang Shi to say more.There was a flash of worry in his eyes, and his eyes looking at Yao Bai seemed to be full of thousands of words, but finally turned into a sigh.

Yaobai seemed to understand the meaning of that look, but also didn't seem to understand, he handed over the cowhide gloves to Ying Changlou for safekeeping, and opened the way ahead by himself.

Zhao Yaming followed closely behind, keeping a distance of no more than three steps.

Such a guardian's posture made the two people who were left behind feel uncomfortable.Ying Changlou quickly ran forward to squeeze Zhao Yaming away, and whispered next to Yao Bai, "You have to be careful, Senior Brother Zhao."

"I know." When Yaobai spoke, he clenched his sword tightly with his fingers, and he had that murderous look in his eyes again.

Ying Changlou couldn't understand this move, he was worried that Zhao Yaming's masculinity would hit Yaobai's idea, but Yaobai seemed to be saying something else.

Moreover, the head only gave them three days. After three days, they had to go back no matter what the result was, so they had to complete the task as soon as possible.They walked half the night according to the directions on the map, and finally saw a grass on a cliff.One finger long and two fingers wide, it looks like a hard iron block from a distance.

It is the Chuanwucao described by Zhang Shi.

It's just that the cliff is very high, so you need to climb it carefully.If one is not careful, it will be close to death if it falls.

Ying Changlou raised his neck and looked at the steep cliff, feeling chills in his heart.

"It's late at night today, and the terrain is dangerous. Since we were so lucky to find this herb so quickly, there is no rush to pick it at this time. We might as well rest later and discuss countermeasures tomorrow." Zhao Yaming, as the highest-ranking person among the four, Let him speak, and no one else has an opinion.

The four made a fire, each sitting in the same direction, all silent.

Ying Changlou kept rubbing his gloves, thinking about what happened tonight.

When they were looking for firewood just now, he wanted to go with Yaobai, but Zhao Yaming didn't agree. He insisted on following Yaobai in the name of danger at night, while he and Chen Ran waited for the two at the same place.

Since he came out, Zhao Yaming seems to have been surrounding Yao Bai, always following him not far or near, to ensure that Yao Bai is within his sight.From this point of view, it was not protection, but more like surveillance.

The more Ying Changlou thought about it, the more he felt it made sense, and suddenly felt that there was a layer in the leather glove.He touched it carefully and found that there was really something.

"I have something urgent, I'll come as soon as it's settled." Ying Changlou clutched his stomach, made a pained expression, and was about to stride away.

Yaobai thought that he was really uncomfortable, so he hurried over to stop him and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, it's just the third emergency." After Ying Changlou finished speaking, he ran straight to the grove, with patience in his eyes, as if he was suffering.

The three of them looked at his hurried back with different expressions.

Zhao Yaming laughed and said, "Brother Ying is still so interesting."

The familiar appearance made Yaobai feel anger welling up in his heart, he sat down without saying a word, his face was a little livid.

Thinking that he was worrying about tomorrow's affairs, Chen Ran leaned over and comforted him with a smile, "Brother Yao, don't worry, we will definitely be able to complete this mission."

When Ying Changlou came back from the solution, he saw Chen Ran leaning on Yao Bai's body, his face flushed slightly, as if he had drunk wine.After he walked in, he realized that the two were not actually close to each other, but there was a distance between them.

However, the shyness on Chen Ran's face was real.

Looking at Zhao Yaming next to him, his face was ashen.Seeing this, Ying Changlou seemed to understand something.

As soon as it was daylight, they immediately went to survey the terrain.Still in the name of danger, Zhao Yaming wants to team up with Yaobai.Because of his third senior brother's status, it is inconvenient for the other three to say more.

As a result, Ying Changlou never had a chance to tell Yao Bai the secret he discovered.

There was indeed something in those gloves, and when he opened it, he saw Zhang Shi's handwritten letter.Just one word, leave quickly.All the previous questions can be explained clearly, but Yao Bai probably won't accept the old man's intentions.

Yingchanglou and Chen Ran are in a group, they go up from the west.The two of them groped carefully with wooden sticks, in case snakes, rats and ants suddenly appeared in the jungle.

But Yaobai and the others went up from the east, and the four of them moved separately temporarily.

"Brother Ying, don't dawdle, we have to reach the top of the mountain as soon as possible and pick the herbs." Seeing the man's absent-minded appearance, Chen Ran frowned and scolded.

Whether it's Senior Brother Yao whom he likes, or that drunkard, this person can easily break into their hearts.It both disgusted and envied him, and the tone of his speech was unconsciously repulsive.

Ying Changlou recovered his senses and glanced at the thin young man, rolled his eyes and continued walking, quickly overtaking Chen Ran.

"Ying Changlou, what method did you use?" Being ignored, Chen Ran became even more angry.He grabbed the other party's sleeve and asked sharply.

"Senior Brother Chen, let go." Ying Changlou didn't want to argue with this young man, so he pushed him to the ground with a light wave of his hand.In the end, the man cried out of grievance, his eyes were red, and he pursed his mouth stubbornly and refused to cry out.

Ying Changlou was annoyed at the look of pretending to be strong.He didn't want to answer that inexplicable question, nor did he want to reason with people.For a weakling who can kill with one hand, he really has no interest in wasting time.

Ying Changlou ignored people and walked forward.He mainly used the wooden stick to find the way, not to repel insects.The road under our feet is hidden under tall and dense grass, and we can't see the reality clearly.

Listening to the sound of tuk tuk tuk, Ying Changlou was sure there was no danger, and then continued to move forward dangerously.After exploring for a while, the voice changed. He was about to take two steps back and squat down to check the situation, when suddenly there was a gust of wind from behind.

"Ah—" Ying Changlou was pushed from behind by someone, and he grabbed that person with his backhand.The two rolled down the bushes together and landed on the edge of a cliff.

"Help!" Chen Ran's face was cut by bushes, and his body was suspended in mid-air.He grabbed Ying Changlou's arm with one hand, and pinched the vine with the other, which he caught in the confusion when he rolled down just now.

Fortunately, with the buffer of these vines, they did not fall directly off the cliff.

Ying Changlou really wanted to slap this man to death, but he still held onto his hand tightly.
