The mint green pattern on Qi Zhao's wrist suddenly became hot.

Qi Zhao narrowed his eyes.

He used to feel that something was wrong with Xiaojiu, it was a system, and he was taken through the book to change the world line of "The First Life of the Great Dao", so he should do his best to remind himself of this.But in fact, not only did it not do this, but it was an evasive attitude from beginning to end.

Qi Zhao also read a lot of texts back then, so he knew some of the routines. Xiao Jiu's appearance, compared to taking the rescue route, is actually more like those behind-the-scenes masterminds who plan to do bad things and throw people away after they are used up.

This simply won't work.

Xiaojiu fell silent again after hearing his question, but Qi Zhao knew that it was flustered, so that its wrists were suddenly cold and hot.

What Qi Zhao said before was very clear. He thought there was no need to say more, so he just looked at his wrist in silence. After a long time, Xiao Jiu whispered, "Qi Zhaozhao, I—"

"Bam—"

The door was suddenly knocked open.

The sawdust was blown in by the wind, passing over his cheeks and hurting slightly, Qi Zhao got up to avoid it, frowning and looked towards the door.

Standing in the sawdust at the door, Buye looked at him coldly: "Bai Zezhu, give it to me."

Qi Zhao glanced at him, and directly called out Yunxu Tengmu, Buye's eyes turned cold, and with a movement of his fingers, the vines wrapped in black cloth quickly rolled towards Qi Zhao, trying to hook his wrist.

Just halfway there, he was blocked by Yunxu Tengmu.

I don't know if it's because Bai Zezhu has the same attributes as himself, but Qi Zhao feels that his cultivation has improved a lot, and he is actually on par with Buye.

Buye also noticed this, squinted his eyes, and suddenly took a few steps back, Qi Zhao leaned forward due to inertia, and just as he stabilized, he saw that Buye was already approaching his eyes.

His hand was in the shape of a hook, and struck straight at Qi Zhao's heart. Qi Zhao blocked it with his arm, and Bu Ye changed direction, instead of attacking Qi Zhao's fatal spot, he reached for the magic book in his arms.

Qi Zhao was startled, and hurriedly dodged, but Buye sneered coldly as his hand fell to nothing.

He obviously didn't come here for Bai Zezhu this time, but wanted Qi Zhao's book. It seemed that there must be some secret in the book.

Thinking of this, Qi Zhao retreated to the window, took out the book in his arms and quickly stuffed it into the Qiankun bag, then took out a Thunderbolt Talisman and threw it over, Bu Ye also blocked it with the Spirit Talisman, the two kinds of talisman papers collided together, Smoke and dust billowed all around.

Qi Zhao didn't dodge any more, the light on Yunxu Tengmumu's body suddenly became dazzling, the light-colored spiritual power formed into a line, and quietly circled around towards Buye, the light was hidden in the smoke and dust, Buye didn't notice it, waiting for him By the time you realize something is wrong, it is already too late.

As soon as the black vines came out, they were blocked back by a transparent barrier. At the same time, Buye realized that his spiritual power was losing little by little, and even the vines were almost unable to hold on.

He simply withdrew the vines and looked at Qi Zhao indifferently.

The surrounding smoke slowly dissipated.

Qi Zhao brushed the dust off his body: "This is the second time I've used it. I never thought it would work. No night."

Buye said lightly: "You can't trap me."

Qi Zhao didn't want to mess things up because of talking too much, and Yunxu vines floated up, binding Buye tightly.

Buye raised his head slightly and remained silent.

Qi Zhao stepped forward, and Buye looked at him quietly, without any panic in his eyes, his expression was hidden under the silver mask, and nothing could be seen.

Qi Zhao met Buye's eyes, tentatively touched the edge of his mask with his fingers, and quietly exerted force, the mask was lifted little by little, slowly revealing the face underneath.

Long eyebrows, brown pupils, slightly moving eyelashes.

Qi Zhao was stunned.

Because of the face in front of him, he had seen it countless times in the mirror, and he was very familiar with it.

It is his own appearance.

Buye slowly hooked his lips: "Are you familiar?"

Qi Zhao shook his fingers: "Who are you?"

Buye sneered, and vines wrapped in black cloth suddenly appeared around his body again. Qi Zhao looked at him vigilantly, but Buye didn't attack. The vines shook, and the black cloth wrapped on it slowly slid down, revealing his dry body like a dead branch. Dead wood, surrounded by a strong magic energy.

At the same time, dark red magic lines gradually appeared on Buye's face, running from the eyebrows to the chin, which proved strange.

When he smiled, his face instantly merged with the heart-eating monster that looked like him in Qi Zhao's dream.

Qi Zhao was startled.

There were footsteps outside the courtyard, accompanied by the meowing of the cat uncle.

Buye started laughing again, the demonic energy floated beside him, and his voice was hoarse: "They are back, it seems that it is time for me to leave too, don't try in vain, do you know why I said you can't trap me? Because—— "

His figure gradually faded in the demonic energy, but his hoarse voice was getting closer and closer: "I am you, how could I be trapped by you? Qi Zhao, see you in the future, your life is mine."

Buye's figure completely dispersed in the air at the same time as the voice fell, and Yunxu Fujimu got together instantly, and then returned to behind Qi Zhao.

Qi Zhao stared at the place where Buye disappeared, and soon, Wen Gu and Xie Shen hurried in, and frowned when they saw the broken sawdust on the ground: "Qi Zhao, what's wrong?"

In a blink of an eye, what I saw was Qi Zhao's distraught appearance.

The devilish energy remaining around was so heavy that Uncle Cat couldn't help covering his nose with his paw.

Qi Zhao remained motionless.

Wen Gu and Uncle Cat looked at each other, and after a while, Wen Gu picked up Uncle Cat, turned around and left the door, completely leaving the place to Xie Shen and Qi Zhao.

Qi Zhao's mood can't be calm, he thought that his dream was made by Chi Mu, as long as he has a clear mind, he will not be afraid of it.But now, Buye, who is exactly the same as the demon in the dream, has appeared.

What is this saying?

Could it be that Xie Shen would want to be like this in his dream in the future, where his heart would be plucked out to death, and his heart would be swallowed alive?

Qi Zhao suddenly felt unprecedented fear.

He lowered his head for a long time, when he heard a sigh in his ear, Xie Shen stepped forward and hugged him gently.

The familiar scent of bluegrass entered his nostrils, Qi Zhao gradually calmed down, and hugged Xie Shen with his backhand.

Xie Shen kissed his forehead, and asked softly: "What's wrong?"

"No, no." Qi Zhao pulled a smile on his face, "Just now Buye came suddenly, he...is a demon, trying to snatch Bai Zezhu and the book, he came so suddenly, I was frightened."

This is obviously a lie, it is not the first time Qi Zhao encounters a demon, nor is it the first time he encounters Buye, how could he be frightened.

Xie Shen was clear in his heart, but he didn't ask any further questions, he slowly stroked his back comfortingly, Qi Zhao stayed quietly for a while, and said softly, "Xie Shen, I'm sleepy."

"You're sleepy, just sleep for a while."

Xie Shen leaned over and carried him into the room, tucked the quilt for Qi Zhao, and then kissed him between the brows, his voice was very gentle: "Take a good rest, I'll be outside, just call me if you need anything."

Qi Zhao smiled and hummed.

Xie Shen got up, closed the window and walked out. After he left, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and Qi Zhao sat up: "Xiao Jiu."

The mint green pattern flickered: "I am here."

Qi Zhao silently waited for it to speak, with lowered eyebrows and eyes, the scenery outside the window resounded softly, and Xiao Jiu's voice slowly rang out in the crisp voice.

"Qi Zhaozhao, I..."

His voice was full of struggle and hesitation, and after a long time, he spoke again with firmness: "I am Chi Mu, the ninth in my family, and I am the real Chi Mu."

The mint green pattern on Qi Zhao's wrist suddenly became hot, and after a while, a figure faintly appeared in front of his eyes, getting darker and darker, and finally turned into a young man in white.

It looks like Ikeki.

Qi Zhao was stunned: "Then Chi Mu, have you been taken away?"

The words had already been spoken, Xiao Jiu no longer kept them, he shook his head: "Yes, and no, do you still remember the rose-colored birthmark on Chi Mu's neck?"

Qi Zhao hummed.

Xiao Jiu pursed her lips, and turned her neckline down. It was clean and there was nothing there.

"That imprint, I thought it was a birthmark at first, but later I found out that it was a demon soul. He has been attached to me since birth, dormant and waiting to recover. I don't know anything about it, walk slowly At the heights, the rosy birthmark deepened until at last..."

Xiao Jiu's eyes became painful: "He manipulated me, and even with the situation he set up before, he caused the lords of the Seven Cities to fall, and then blatantly destroyed the enchantment, the demons of the Myriad Demons came out, the Floating World was bloody and bloody, and the bones became mountains."

"I am a sinner."

"I am not reconciled. After ten years of soul smelting, a voice told me that there is a chance to do it again, but I must find the person with the opportunity. I agreed, and then I came to an inexplicable world, and met the child who was still a child at the time." You, discovering that you can also communicate with grass and trees, have attached to you."

"You know what happened later."

Qi Zhao was so shocked that he couldn't speak. What was wrong with Chi Mu, he had made many assumptions before, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

That clean person is Ikeki.

That hideous and treacherous person is also Chi Mu.

One body, two souls.

Then everything is right.

Qi Zhao's brain was running fast.

Xiao Jiu can understand the language of flowers and plants, his soul is out, Chi Mu naturally has no talent, and he found out that Chi Mu's blood is empty, it is not an illusion, but because he is not a spiritual planter at all.

There is no golden house in Wanjing City, and it is the place where monsters are most likely to breed. In the original world, Xie Shen fell due to injury, and Xin Yi influenced Chi Mu's succession as the city lord of Wanjing City, which became his root.Finally, when the time is right, the lord of the six cities will fall, the seal will be broken, and all demons will be born.

No wonder, every city has the shadow of Chi Mu.

No wonder, Chi Mu paid so much attention to Xie Shen and the Serpentine Wood back then, it turned out that he coveted Wanjing City.

For a moment, Qi Zhao suddenly thought of the hexagrams of Duwen before, heavy (g).

That's what it means.

"After you and I came here, we were very surprised when we saw Patriarch Xinyi, because according to the past, his soul had not been nourished, so he shouldn't have appeared, but in fact he appeared, and besides using me body, and his original body, Patriarch Xin Yi, was also born."

Xiao Jiu pursed her lips: "Something must have happened to him, and he started over again. I was afraid that he would find out that I was causing you trouble, so I kept avoiding it."

"As for why I didn't say this before, because I have restrictions on me, as long as I mention these things, I will be forcibly muted. The breakthrough point seems to be that you have to be suspicious. Now, you suspect Chi Mu, and you also put Xin Yi and him If you think about it together, the restriction will be broken."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Jiu's voice stopped, and she raised her head to look at Qi Zhao seriously: "Qi Zhao, you must believe me, these are all true."

Qi Zhao didn't doubt what he said, life was not easy since he was a child, and he could still see clearly when looking at people.

He nodded: "What's going on at night?"

Xiao Jiu frowned: "Qi Zhao, I really don't know about this, I have never seen him before, so it can be said that he appeared suddenly."

This world is more complicated than before. At the beginning, when the mystery ends, new ones appear.

Qi Zhao rubbed the center of his brows, and hummed wearily.

Xiao Jiu looked at him cautiously, did not speak, and was silent for a long time before softly saying, "Let's take our time."

"it is good."

Qi Zhao smiled wearily: "Let's take our time."

Xiao Jiu is now in the state of a soul, and she can't last long, and soon she disappeared into the mint green pattern, after thinking about it, she finally opened her mouth.

【Qi Zhaozhao, also, I think you should talk to Xie Shen about some things. Chi Mu is the ancestor of Xinyi, and it has something to do with the Seven Cities Barrier, so don't be careless.Moreover, whether it's from your dreams and sleepless nights, or from your desire to stay with Xie Shen forever, you shouldn't hide it from him now. 】

Qi Zhao was silent for a while: "I...know, in fact, after I came out of the forbidden area before, I had such an idea, wait a little longer, I will find a suitable time to tell him."

Xiao Jiu stopped talking.

Qi Zhao was very upset, he lay down and covered his head with the quilt, thinking about a lot of things, finally, he sighed, and buried his face in the quilt to vent his anger.

……

In the evening, Qi Zhao calmed down completely, got up and went out of the room.

Xie Shen was sitting at the wooden table by the windowsill, with his eyes downcast, he was carelessly playing with a small object in his hand.

Qi Zhao stepped forward to have a look, and saw that it was the snake jade sculpture that Chi Mu had given him before.

Hearing the movement, Xie Shen tilted his head, his brows and eyes soft: "Wake up, did you sleep well?"

Actually didn't fall asleep at all.

Qi Zhao smiled: "It's okay. This jade carving was given by Chi Mu, who said it was a statue of the Teng Snake. I didn't have time to take a closer look at it, so it came here in the middle of the night."

"It's a good thing you didn't look carefully." Xie Shen said, "Otherwise you might not be able to sleep well."

It appears that there is something in it.

Qi Zhao took the Teng Snake Jade Carving over, put his spiritual power on it to explore, and found that there was a dark thing in the middle of the jade carving, which was... the petals of the Demonic Nightmare Flower.

Is this a complete face-off?

Qi Zhao's affinity and perceptual talent are high, and it's not that Chi Mu doesn't know it. It's not clear whether such a blatant manipulation is a test, or has other meanings.

After thinking for a while, Qi Zhao took out the book from the Qiankun bag, and put his spiritual power on it: "Xie Shen, I don't come here at night today, not for Bai Zezhu, but for the book I found at Mr. Xu today, which is this book. , take a look."

The crimson writing on the black page was weird, Xie Shen flipped through it, and found Jiang Hui on that page.

Xie Shen frowned: "Jiang Hui."

"What's wrong?"

"The demon ancestor Jianghu was suppressed at the foot of Tengshe Mountain in Wanjing City. I heard the elders said it before, but it was true and false. The elders also came here based on hearsay."

Qi Zhao turned to the page of Patriarch Xin Yi: "Do you know which city he was suppressed in?"

Xie Shen glanced at it: "Shuofang City."

Shuofang City is located in the extreme north of the Floating Life Realm. It is a marginal city and also the most mysterious city in the Floating Life Realm.

Yanhui, the lord of Shuofang City, Qi Zhao met before when he was in Tianxu City, was a very low-key person, and Qi Zhao couldn't remember his appearance for a while.

"What kind of person is Yan Hui?" Qi Zhao asked.

Xie Shen's answer was only two words: "Not familiar."

Qi Zhao asked Xiao Jiu: "Xiao Jiu, do you have any impression of Shuofang City and Yan Hui?"

[No... I lost consciousness when I was going to Shuofang City and was manipulated by Xin Yi. When I woke up, the world of floating life was devastated. 】

It seems that Shuofang City must be visited, but before that, the matter of Wen Gu and Gu Congzhi must be settled first.

Qi Zhao sighed.

Xie Shen looked over with concern: "What's the matter, is there something on your mind?"

Qi Zhao leaned on his shoulder, "I'm tired, but I'm hungry."

Xie Shen laughed: "Then I'll take you to eat? After eating, take a bath together, and then go to bed early. If you can't sleep, you can still do some interesting things."

Qi Zhao didn't want to know what was going on, so he stood up and said, "Speak seriously, let's go."

Xie Shen walked out side by side with him, and when he was about to leave the door, he looked down at the cloud pattern pendant hanging on Qi Zhao's waist, and the meaning in his eyes slowly emerged.

……

The soaring snake jade carving sent by Chi Mu was finally taken away by Xie Shenrong, he didn't throw it away, and after being restricted, he ground it into powder and put it in Qi Zhao's Qiankun bag.

Qi Zhao was a little puzzled: "What is this going to do?"

"He gave it to you, so naturally he has to return it." Xie Shen said lightly, "If he does something else, just sprinkle it on him, he will like it."

It sounds naive, but this feeling of repaying the other's way is really good.

Qi Zhao nodded, "Okay."

The two talked for a while, and were about to go for a walk. Not long after they walked out the door, they suddenly heard a frightened scream from the back of the pavilion, mixed with a shrill cat meow.

Startled, Qi Zhao exchanged a glance with Xie Shen, and hurriedly walked towards the source of the voice, it was very chaotic, and all the servants of the City Lord's Mansion were there.

It is Wen Gu's residence.

The chief steward of the city lord's mansion came out in a hurry, his face pale: "Quick, go to the Xuanhu hall to invite Mr. Zhou, go!"

The people around immediately became confused, and hurried out the door, Qi Zhao thumped in his heart: "What's going on?"

There was another shrill meow from inside, like crying, Qi Zhao was impatient, so he didn't ask any more questions, and went in directly, the voice of the uncle cat inside was almost hoarse, he stayed by the bed, and slowly turned into Gu Congzhi's appearance.

In front of Gu Congzhi, Wen Gu was quietly lying on the bed with his eyes closed, his face was covered with a layer of lifelessness, and his lips were so white that they were almost transparent.

Qi Zhao's pupils shrank suddenly: "Wen Gu?!"

Suddenly footsteps came from behind, and Mr. Zhou rushed over. He caught up with Wen Gu's words. After a long time, the catalog was surprised: "Drunk life and dream death."

Gu Congzhi's eyes turned red suddenly.

Drunk life, dreams and death, the medicine that has been lost for several years, the gods and ghosts are hard to escape, the person who takes this medicine falls into a deep sleep, and after a month, his blood vessels dry up and he falls.

No solution.

Gu Congzhi's fingers were tightly knit together. Elder Zhou watched Wen Gu grow up, and he knew things about him and Gu Congzhi very clearly. He was a little surprised to see him, but now was not the time to think about it. He looked at it. The faces of the people around him pondered for a moment before opening their mouths: "Actually, Wen Gu is not hopeless."

Gu Congzhi raised his head instantly, and asked with restraint, "Mr. Zhou, please tell me."

"Drunkenness, life, dreams and death are formed by the fusion of nineteen kinds of most yin plants and trees, and the fusion of extreme yang can be broken. I have read the formula in an ancient book before. I have to try whether it is true or not. I have the first few types in the book, but The branches of the old tree and the spring water of Yunshen depend on you."

The branch of immortality is in Phoenix, looking at the good luck.

The same is true for Yunshen Spring in Yunzhou City.

"I have the old tree branch." Qi Zhao said immediately, "Where is the Yunshen Spring?"

"It is said that there is an enchantment in the mist in Baize Mountain. Some people have lost their way in it and seen Yunshenquan, but it is also a matter of luck."

Gu Congzhi said in a deep voice, "I'll go."

Elder Zhou shook his head: "You have to protect Wen Gu here. The Liuhe Shenmu is also a yang tree. You have to stabilize Wen Gu's blood. Xie Shen can't go either. The Tengshe Shenmu belongs to the thunder genus. If the deterrence is too high, the Fountain of Youth will be hidden. .”

Gu Congzhi's eyes were full of forbearance.

Qi Zhao said, "Then I'll go."

Qi Zhao is a spiritual planter with a very high talent for perception. It is indeed the best choice for him to go.

And at the same time as his words fell, a clear voice sounded from behind: "I'm going too."

It's Ikeki.

Qi Zhao's eyes flickered, he felt that Chi Mu should have done Wen Gu's matter, Qi Zhao didn't know what he was thinking, but it definitely wouldn't be good.

But also good.

Qi Zhao nodded: "Okay."

As he said that, he turned his head and glanced at Xie Shen. He originally thought that the latter thought it was dangerous and would not agree, but he nodded without thinking about the latter.

This was a little different from what he had done before, but Qi Zhao didn't think much about it, and looked at Gu Congzhi again.

The redness in Gu Congzhi's eyes has not faded, and he said each word: "Please."

He looked down at the unconscious Wen Gu, and gently stroked his cheek with his hand, the emotions in his eyes were entangled, extremely complicated and extremely painful.

Qi Zhao said softly, "I will do my best."

Chi Mu also nodded behind.

Gu Congzhi didn't respond, and held Wen Gu's hand through the quilt, without looking away for a moment.Seeing this, Qi Zhao raised his head: "Old Zhou, when shall we go?"

"Today is the middle of the month when the fog in Baize Mountain is at its deepest. I can't go. I'll go back today and make some medicine for you. You can use it in the mountains. I'll leave tomorrow."

Qi Zhao cupped his hands: "Okay."

Mr. Zhou put away the medicine box and went out first.Qi Zhao and the others went out together with him. Before leaving, they glanced at Gu Congzhi inside, sighed, and gently closed the door.
