Chi Yan

Gu Qiu felt a "thump" in his heart.

He hasn't ridden a horse yet.

I have always been used to floating around and teleporting, but I really can't adapt to being a horse for a good horse suddenly.

"Mr. Gu, what's the matter with you?" Seeing that Gu Qiu hadn't gotten on his horse for a long time, the leader couldn't help asking.

"Ah... that..." Gu Qiu accepted everyone's suspicious gazes with a slight twitch, and then said seriously, "I haven't ridden a horse before, so I'm afraid I won't be able to control it."

"..."

"Then Mr. Gu, come up, get on my horse, I'll ride, you just sit down." Gu Qiu didn't even need to raise his head, he knew who was speaking as soon as he heard the voice, and an imperceptible smile appeared in his eyes.Immediately, Gu Qiu responded with "Yes" and jumped up, accurately and firmly landed on the horse behind the patriarch.

"Young Master Gu, sit still." The patriarch said softly to him, the unique tone was like the strings of a zither, which touched Gu Qiu's heart, and made him involuntarily pay attention to the side face of the patriarch. .Staring at the white jade-like chin, an unknown emotion emerged from the tip of my heart.

"Starting from this river, it's all dry to the west. Mr. Zhao, what kind of strange people have come to your city in recent days?" Bai Lanqing's voice sounded at the right time, Gu Qiu seemed to wake up from a dream, and finally couldn't concentrate anymore on the patriarch's chin.

"I don't often go to the city...Hey Shiqing, have you found any strange people when you go down the mountain recently?" The patriarch suddenly asked the leader of the cavalry.

"I haven't seen anything suspicious, but in this way, there is one thing that is really strange."

"What's the matter?" Bai Lanqing asked hastily.

"We used to have no highly poisonous things here, but in recent days, there have been frequent incidents of poisonous snakes hurting people, and the snakes are extremely poisonous. Once attacked, it only takes a stick of incense to kill them. For I have only heard a little about this matter, so I dare not say anything."

Bai Lanqing didn't ask any more questions, because even if he didn't ask, he already had the answer in his heart.

For a while, the surroundings fell into silence, and the horse team was still leisurely and leisurely, but everyone's expressions were not very good-looking.

As he was walking, the person in front suddenly screamed "Ah", everyone was about to ask him what's the matter, but he didn't even hum, and just fell down straight on the ground under the eyes of everyone.

"What happened?" The patriarch worried about the safety of the members of the Black Cat Clan, got off his horse and ran towards the person who made the noise just now.

Gu Qiu was left to ride stiffly on the horse alone.

, I dare not move.

The man's eyes were wide open, his face was as pale as if he had just been fished out of cold water in the twelfth lunar month of winter, his black lips were slightly parted, as if he was eager to take his last breath of air.

The patriarch checked his pulse and breath, and shook his head gently at the crowd. Obviously, it was hopeless.

However, before he stood up, he heard someone in the team yell: "Be careful!" Immediately afterwards, the patriarch was wrapped in his arms and threw himself on him. The two rolled together on the ground several times. His head suddenly hit a hard chest.He rubbed his head and looked up, Gu Qiu was looking at him worriedly.And the place where he was just now has been replaced by blood, no one knows who has already been tricked.

"Quick! Protect the patriarch!" Shi Qing immediately noticed something was wrong, and immediately gave the order.I saw that the mountains had been covered with a thick layer of fog at some point, and the lush trees were hidden in it, either bright or dark, like ghosts and ghosts.An unknown bird suddenly sang cheerfully. At first glance, it seemed that hundreds of people were laughing grinningly.Panting and neighing, the horse refused to take half a step forward.

"When did the fog start?" Someone in the thick fog asked.

"No one noticed. The fog seems to have come out of nowhere. I don't know if it is poisonous." Someone answered.

"It's not mist." The third person started to get involved, but Gu Qiu immediately recognized that it was Bai Lanqing's voice. "It's the miasma in the mountains. You are right to worry, it is indeed poisonous."

Unknown participant: "..."

Toxic yet so calm...

"Everyone put this on." As soon as the words were finished, everyone felt something like a handkerchief in their hands. In this situation, it was difficult to find someone to look at each other, and they could only follow Bai Lanqing's words in order to survive.

"Are you okay?" Gu Qiu looked down at the patriarch who was still lying in his arms, neither moving nor not moving.

"Oh, it's okay, thank you." The patriarch suddenly regained his senses and opened the distance between himself and Gu Qiu. In the thick miasma, no one noticed, and his face blushed all over.

He still wanted to say something, but a sudden sound made everyone vigilant.I can't tell what kind of sound it is, like wind blowing grass and trees, or like hundreds of thousands of clothes rubbing against each other in miasma.

Just as Gu Qiu was about to pull the patriarch who had just stood up back to his side, he suddenly turned around and jumped. He was dressed in white in the midst of the miasma, but scattered golden light. If the environment did not allow it, Gu Qiu really wanted to admire it from the bottom of his heart. .When he turned around again, there was an extra fan in his hand. He slapped it leisurely a few times, and suddenly he pressed his left hand on the edge of the fan and wiped it neatly. Splash everywhere.The patriarch concentrated his spiritual power on his right hand, swung his hand forward and back, and the miasma in front of him suddenly became vulnerable, and disappeared with the wind like a wisp of green smoke.

"Patriarch! Are you okay?" The fog cleared, and everyone finally saw clearly. Shi Qing hurried over to support the patriarch, but saw that his attention was not on this side at all, his eyes widened and he looked into the distance, and then Looking into his eyes--

In the distance, a group of black cloud-like things were rapidly approaching, like a huge black curtain, covering half of the sky at once.

Bai Lanqing only glanced at it, and suddenly his expression turned serious. Seeing that everyone was ready to defend against the enemy, he quickly shouted at them: "It's a bloodthirsty bat! Don't be tough! Hide!"

But, it's too late!The black mass approached at an unexpected speed, and Shi Qing could even hear the "chirp" sound of the bats crowding each other, and instantly got goosebumps all over his body.Gu Qiu pushed Shi Qing who was stunned: "What are you thinking at this time! Hurry up! Protect your patriarch and run!" Shi Qing came back to his senses and saw that Gu Qiu had rushed to the front regardless of his own safety, so he helped him up. The patriarch, who was already unconscious due to excessive consumption of spiritual power, shouted at him: "Then what should you do?"

Gu Qiu's whole body had turned a frightening blood red, and his eyes were burning red as if soaked in blood. Hearing this, he rushed forward without looking back, leaving only one sentence: "You just need to protect your patriarch!"

Shi Qing gritted his teeth hard. Although he was absolutely unwilling in his heart, he immediately ordered everyone to retreat to the rear decisively. With a sound of "Zheng", Shen Shuang came out of the sheath, and Bai Lanqing and Gu Qiu stood side by side.

"Listen to me, brother Gu, I have sent a signal, my help will arrive soon, you go, this is a grievance between our fairy world and him, it has nothing to do with you." Bai Lanqing pointed at the sword, finally A row of bloodthirsty bats rushed over and fell to the ground.

"I really have no grievances with him as you said, but the object here is me. I know what you are worried about, and I also know what you are looking for. If there is a conclusion to this matter, I will definitely not do it." Watching from the wall." Gu Qiu burned two rows of bloodthirsty bats into ashes with a ball of fire, and then threw one of the bats close to him into the air, and only took time out of his busy schedule to respond to Bai Lanqing.

The two didn't talk much anymore, because more and more bloodthirsty bats had submerged them in the bat swarm, and two figures, one red and one white, could vaguely appear, but they were engulfed by darkness immediately.

"My lord!" At this moment, only the sound of a sword being drawn was heard in the air, and Bai Yunqiao swung his sword and rushed down first, cutting a bloodthirsty bat that was sneaking to attack into a ball of flesh.The other children rushed down one after another, and the situation finally eased.

Shi Qing led the crowd to retreat to a relatively spacious cave, and went outside the cave to bring in some dry branches and leaves, lit a fire, carefully placed the patriarch on the ground, and leaned his back against the side of the cave.

"General Shiqing, how do you know there is a cave here?" After the catastrophe, a member of the team lay sprawled on the ground and asked with a smile.

Before Shi Qing could answer, another one came in: "Hey, you ask this too, in case this is General Shi Qing's place... Hey hey, you understand."

The man smiled knowingly: "Hey, I understand, I understand, hehehe..."

"Shut up!" Shi Qing glared at them sullenly. "It's about this time, and I still have time to make fun of me." Seeing that the young people were frightened and honest, they stood up: "You look after the patriarch, I will go out to find two benefactors." After speaking, he picked up the sword and went walked out.

"Tsk, General Shiqing has lost his temper."

"It's also the first time I've seen him get angry, hey, but you said...those two people..."

Before he could finish his next words, only a few weak coughs were heard, the patriarch's eyelashes trembled a few times, and he woke up with some struggles.

"Patriarch!"

"Patriarch, you are awake!"

"How are you, patriarch?"

The patriarch opened his eyes with some difficulty.

"Where's Young Master Gu?"

Everyone didn't expect this to be the first sentence he said when he woke up, so they honestly confessed: "Young Master Gu asked us to take you away first, and he will leave the rear."

"You..." Hearing that, the patriarch's delicate eyebrows were furrowed together, against the pale complexion, there was a kind of morbid beauty.But the next line doesn't quite fit that profile: "A bunch of idiots!"

Everyone was really speechless now, if General Shiqing was angry, they could still understand, because he was a general after all.But the patriarch scolded people, it really is that the girl has a big beard—impossible.

In the next second, they saw the patriarch standing up with the strength that he didn't know where he came from, dragging his weak steps, and was about to go out with the help of the cave. One of them quickly grabbed him and said, "Patriarch, where are you going?"

"Nonsense, go out and save people!"

"General Shiqing has already gone out to look at it. Look at your appearance...you should not go."

The patriarch didn't listen to his nonsense, and pushed him away with a palm. As soon as he walked out of the cave, he saw two familiar people behind Shi Qing.

He saw Gu Qiu who had not yet recovered from the murderous aura with red eyes at a glance, and he immediately relaxed, and shouted excitedly: "Young Master Gu!"

The red light in Gu Qiu's eyes receded instantly, he quickly walked over to support the patriarch, and asked with concern, "How are you doing?"

"...I'm fine, how about you?...Are you okay?"

No one responded for a long time, the patriarch thought that Gu Qiu was thinking something, looked up at Gu Qiu, only to realize that his expression was not right!

As if being haunted by something, Gu Qiu stood there motionless, the red light in his eyes flickering on and off.

"Master Gu, what's wrong with you?" The patriarch looked at him intently, not knowing why he was acting like this suddenly.

However, Gu Qiu didn't pay attention to his intentions at all. He broke free from the patriarch's hand and muttered to himself: "Tong Yan, Tong Yan is nearby, I'm going to find Tong Yan." disappeared in front of the patriarch.

"Oops." Bai Lanqing looked at the bright moon in the sky, said something as if no one was there, then sheathed Shen Shuang, disappeared in front of everyone in two steps, and followed.

"Shi Qing, lead everyone back! Hurry up! I'll come as soon as I go." The patriarch disappeared in front of everyone before Shi Qing could react and advise him.
