Zhang Kuang was completely dumbfounded.

Her body froze suddenly, her ears were covered with layers of redness, her voice was stammering, she couldn't speak clearly: "This..."

Xia Zhitao hugged for a moment, reluctantly let go of Zhang Kuang, took a step back, calmed down, and said with a smile: "How about it, think about it?"

She felt like a pervert who lured and kidnapped a child, she almost dangled around with a candy in her hand, and lured the other party back home.

Zhang Kuang looked embarrassed, and said vaguely: "Naturally."

Naturally, she was very willing. In fact, even if several people really didn't want her to go with her, she would probably follow behind secretly, but she would hide her body and watch from a distance.

Jin Li happily said: "That's great, it seems that I don't need to entrust Xiaohong to help burn paper in front of the grave. To celebrate the joining of the leader, let's roast Xiaohong and eat it!"

The little red fish was extremely shocked, spit out a bunch of bubbles angrily, swayed, swam all the way to Zhang Kuang, and was gently held by the tail by the other party.

The slender white fingers twisted the fiery red tail fin, like a small cluster of faint flames.

Little Red Fish spat bubbles attentively, rubbing her cheeks all the time, Zhang Kuang said helplessly, "Why are you here again?"

——Come here again?

Xia Zhitao thought of how a certain junior sister with the same surname disliked this little red fish, and couldn't help laughing out loud, with crooked eyebrows and eyes: "Maybe it's because I like you."

The three of them are happy and contented here, getting along well, seeing Qin Zhi feel uncomfortable all over, and feeling weird in addition to being surprised.

What she doesn't know is that this weird feeling is called "light bulb" in modern times, and as a shiny light bulb, Jin Li can perfectly blend into it, which is really not easy.

Qin Zhi sighed: "The world is going down, people's hearts are not old!"

Zheng Luo Yi smiled indifferently, and said in a warm voice: "It's not bad for the little girls to have a companion to go with when they play together."

Qin Zhi was dumbfounded, and hurriedly said: "You, you, you——"

She turned her head in astonishment, stretched out her hand to straighten Luo Yi's forehead, and said in a trembling voice: "Junior Brother, are you afraid that you have a fever?"

Qin Zhi knew her best as a junior. He was the softest one when he first started, and he was foolish enough to be fooled and fell for it. Fortunately, he was lucky. Although he had been framed many times, he was still safe and sound. Relying on his strength, he took the position of peak master.

After becoming the peak master, Zheng Luoyi's temperament did not change much. He was so busy with his apprentices all day that he neglected to practice.

Otherwise, Yizheng Luoyi's talent of being born with a single wood spirit root, and having many resources in Yashan, wouldn't have caused him to be in the bottom of the thirteen peak masters of Yashan in recent years.

Zheng Luo Yi let Qin Zhi tap his forehead with his fingers, and smiled helplessly: "No, I'm very sober."

"Peak Master Qin, you don't know that we have come all the way from Yashan to Baihetang, and there are many hardships and obstacles along the way, and there are many crises."

Zheng Luo Yi said softly: "There were several times when lives were at stake, and it was only thanks to the leader's rescue that only one life was saved."

Listening to his words, Zhang Kuang looked at Zheng Luoyi with dark eyes, with a strange expression, and said in disbelief:

"Are you really burnt out?"

Xia Zhitao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and helped her smooth her long hair. It was cool and soft, and felt very good in the hand. She said indifferently: "I'm helping you talk, why are you so eager to refuse."

Zhang Kuang said frankly: "Yashan will definitely scold me a few words when we meet. I have already seen the strangeness, and deal with it calmly, and even have the interest to inquire about new libretto."

She paused, and said: "Forget about Yunji, the people in Yashan suddenly praised me again and again, I'm really not used to it."

Qin Zhi: "...you are self-aware."

"I have nothing to do, I will listen to a sentence or two in the teahouse when I go shopping down the mountain." Zhang Kuang said seriously, "Sometimes it's quite interesting."

After hearing this, Xia Zhitao looked at her curiously. She didn't expect the leader to be so carefree, and incidentally recalled a long-ago event.

Not long after the younger junior sister started, she went down the mountain to do some shopping, and heard a few gossip about Zhang Kuang while listening to books in a teahouse.

Xia Zhitao couldn't hold it back for a while, and impulsively refuted a few words, but was threatened by a big man with an ax to "do justice for the sky".

Although Xia Zhitao escaped by relying on Yashan's name, it was precisely on that day that a very low-key arrogance suddenly appeared, as if it only existed in the legend of Yashan.

She pushed several people to the ground in the market, and beat them up severely, causing red fireworks to go off on the Yashan Mountain, scaring the retreat peak masters out of several people.

When things came together, it all made sense.So at that time, Zhang Kuang suddenly made a move, was it also to defend himself against injustice?

Xia Zhitao snickered inwardly, sweetly.

.

Qin Zhi frowned and looked at Zhang Kuang several times, shook his head wistfully, and said in compromise: "Forget it, we are locked here together, we have to think about how to break through the illusion—"

Just halfway through the conversation, the four of them, including Zhang Kuang, looked at her in unison without any hesitation, their eyes full of expectation.

Qin Zhi was under a lot of pressure immediately: "What are you looking at me for?"

Jin Li smiled shyly, and said, "Master Qin, the few of us don't know anything about illusions, we have to rely on you!"

Zhang Kuang also followed, "I've always been locked up three times...cough, I've been locked up twice."

As she spoke, she glanced at Xia Zhitao cautiously, but was caught by the other party, and quickly turned back as if nothing had happened.

Qin Zhi was surprised and said: "Since you can walk out safely, you must have a way to suppress the inner demons, so just do it again."

Zhang Kuang was silent for a moment, and said with difficulty: "The last time I was trapped for three days, I directly dismantled the formation... This time the Illusion Creator came prepared, and the scale of the formation was ten times larger, so I couldn't blast it..."

Everyone: "..."

According to the attitude of the heart demon, there is no way to resolve it, and it is useless to suppress it. It is better to directly explode the illusion.

There was another reason, Zhang Kuang was embarrassed not to mention it.

She was bandaging her wounds in the inn before, but she became dizzy and dizzy, and when she woke up, she found herself wearing a black robe, lying dizzy in the Qiling Hall.

Zhang Kuang was stunned for a moment, and found himself trapped in the white crane illusion again, he was so angry that he just wanted to drag the leader out and beat him up.

After looking for the formation master to no avail, the first thing she tried was to use the spiritual power in her body to pour into the formation, trying to break the formation violently.

However, the spiritual power has been exhausted recently, and the realm is no longer what it used to be. After working hard for a long time, the illusion is still motionless and safe.

It was really embarrassing to tell this matter, Zhang Kuang thought it over and over again, and decided not to say anything, pretending that the formation master came here deliberately, it was definitely not because he was too weak to open the formation.

After going around and around, he returned to the heart demon.

"This is an illusion based on nightmares. Everything that can be seen and felt is a miasma of the mind." ①

Qin Zhi said in a low voice: "If you want to get out of the formation, the quickest way is to suppress the inner demons, but there is another superior option."

"—The inner demon must have a source, such as greed, anger, thoughts, such as asking for nothing, such as the suffering of birth, old age, sickness and death."

Qin Zhiding looked at Zhang Kuang, saw that the other party was half-hearted, his eyes were wandering, and he just wanted to see Xia Zhitao's appearance, so he couldn't help but get angry.

She gritted her teeth, and finished the second half of the sentence angrily: "If you can untangle the knot in your heart, the demons will disappear."

Xia Zhitao listened carefully, and said, "How to untie it?"

Simple to say, but utterly difficult to implement.Immortal cultivators are most jealous of evil, but they have never thought about it, if there is no love and hatred in their hearts, things they can't ask for, and things they can't let go, how can they give birth to demons.

Qin Zhi sneered: "Ask the one next to you."

Zhang Kuang was absent-minded, he listened to Qin Zhi's words in general, and suddenly he was clicked, he suddenly raised his head, paused twice before saying: "I don't know."

"You've seen it too," Zhang Kuang said slowly, "That man is unreasonable and extremely stubborn. He hit him as soon as he came up. How can he look like he can speak well?"

Qin Zhi asked a few more questions, but was confused by Zhang Kuang, and with Xia Zhitao's help to protect him, he really couldn't ask what was going on.

She let out a long sigh, and said sadly: "Well, there is one last way."

.

Leaving the dark Qiling Mountain, Jin Li looked at the bustling market below the mountain, filled with lights and festoons, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

She cheered, and hurriedly ran to buy roast chicken, leaving the four behind her behind for a long distance.

Qin Zhi said speechlessly: "We agreed to discuss and then we split up. Why did Xiaoyu run away??"

Xia Zhitao calmly said: "Master Qin, don't worry, anything that Senior Sister Jin picks up on the ground must be one of the necessary materials for our formation."

Qin Zhi: "..."

Zheng Luoyi is gentle and elegant: "Even if it's not the necessary materials, you can meet a great opportunity at the Nascent Soul level, and at the worst, you can just pick up a few thousand gold baht for nothing."

Qin Zhi: "..."

Zhang Kuang: "Zhi Tao is right."

Qin Zhi was exhausted physically and mentally, feeling that this group of people didn't know the danger of the illusion, and they seemed to be out for an outing cheerfully.In particular, a certain Demon Cult leader surnamed Plagiarism, who doesn't make noise, doesn't kill people, doesn't set fire, is creepy.

Back to the topic, before leaving Qiling Mountain, Qin Zhi and a few people carefully analyzed it. Apart from the fact that the path of inner demons cannot be followed, if you want to break the formation, you have to rely on the nature of the illusion itself.

——She wants to create another illusion formation in this illusion.

The principle is very simple, just like the two poles of a magnet, if Qin Zhi really succeeds, the two illusions will repel each other, and they will be able to find a loophole and get out of the white crane formation.

Qin Zhi rubbed his forehead, and said slowly: "I need thin red rope, cinnamon copper, Nanwuzhi... and ten items. Since the little fish has escaped, we will divide into two groups."

As soon as he heard that he was going to be divided into teams, Zhang Kuang immediately leaned towards Xia Zhitao without seeing it, a star fell in his dark eyes, staring at Qin Zhi with a sparkle, the meaning was self-evident.

Qin Zhi was thoughtful, so he naturally noticed Zhang Kuang's sneaky tricks.

Facing the expectant eyes of the other party, she chuckled: "Xia Zhitao, come here and walk with you, Master Luo Yi. Zhang Kuang, follow me."

Zhang Kuang, a bolt from the blue, subconsciously asked, "Why?"

As soon as I asked, I thought about it, I am the leader of the Demon Cult, why should I obey Yashan's words, so I got a little bit more rigid, and said confidently: "The way is different, and we don't conspire with each other, why should I listen to your orders?!"

"Oh, Xia Zhitao, come here." Qin Zhi didn't change his face, and said with a half-smile, "I feel wronged that the leader and my little brother are together."

Zheng Luo Yi looked at Zhang Kuang with a slumped expression, and was extremely puzzled: "I'm fine, but in fact, wouldn't it be nice to let the leader follow Zhitao?"

Qin Zhi hated that iron could not be made into steel, and lamented that his junior brother was getting more and more crooked. He pulled Zheng Luoyi aside and whispered, "Are you crazy? Even if Xia Zhitao worshiped under Hu Zi's family, you can't let her Together with the leader of the Demon Cult!"

"Although Zhang Kuang is restrained by the White Crane's illusion, this person's evil deeds are obvious and his crimes cannot be forgiven. This time he is absolutely full of sorrow, and we must guard against it."

Qin Zhi seriously analyzed with him, "Xia Zhitao hasn't been a beginner for long, and her knowledge is relatively shallow. If she gets mad suddenly, you and I, as the master of Yashan Mountain, can still resist one or two, what can she do?"

After Zheng Luo Yi listened carefully, he said, "You're right." Qin Zhi nodded approvingly, but Zheng Luo Yi changed the topic and went back: "But I still think it's good for Zhang Kuang to follow Zhi Tao's disciple. "

Qin Zhi: "..."

She was so angry that she almost threw a knife at her, wishing to pry open Zheng Luoyi's mind to see what kind of ecstasy soup her junior had been poured into by Zhang Kuang.

The two peak masters debated for a long while, but each held their own opinions, and for a long time no result was reached.

Xia Zhitao stood with numb legs and said leisurely, "Masters."

Seeing the two of them looking over, she took Zhang Kuang who was standing aside, waved her hands calmly, and said calmly, "I'll take the leader to sell clothes, you guys discuss it slowly."

As she said that, she dragged away the maddened man with red ears, leaving Qin Zhi stunned, and Zheng Luo Yi smiled helplessly, and said, "They say you don't have to worry."

.

Rumors spread quietly in the town that a first-class beauty came from the other side of the West Street.

That beauty is extremely beautiful, let alone the whole town, even in the imperial city, it would be difficult to find a woman of the same color.

It's a pity that the beauty is dressed in a black ink robe, and the cold air is lingering all over her body. She can faintly smell sporadic blood, coupled with a moody, cold and indifferent expression, all the crowds spontaneously avoid three feet, lest they cause trouble to the upper body.

Xia Zhitao pushed her and said, "Are you in a daze again?"

Zhang Kuang came back to his senses, looked down at her, his eyes were dark and bright, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "I'm thinking about something."

Xia Zhitao was standing beside her, her long hair like splashed ink was carefully tied up, and a few strands were put on the white clothes.

Seeing Zhang Kuang looking over, she smiled and teased, "What are you thinking, you look so serious?"

Xia Zhitao has always loved to laugh, with a gentle expression on her brows and eyes, and even her voice is always warm.

Zhang Kuang pursed his lips and said nothing.

It was all so unbelievable, so beautiful that she felt a little fake.

But even so, even if everything is an illusion created by the formation, even if the person in front of her is just an illusion, she can't help but feel...

It's not bad to stay here for a lifetime.

The leader likes to be distracted, Xia Zhitao has long been used to it, and she is not surprised, she turned her head and said: "I will buy you new clothes, bandages and herbs later, I have to deal with the wound."

"It's just a small injury, it's nothing to worry about," Zhang Kuang said casually, his voice sounded inexplicably soft, "and this is just an illusion, not real."

Xia Zhitao sighed: "So what if it's an illusion, I really don't feel anxious or distressed?"

Zhang Kuang was born too well, with a pure and innocent expression, causing Xia Zhitao to speak out what was in his heart, and only reacted belatedly when the other party looked at him with watery black eyes.

She laughed and said, "What are you looking at, let's go."

Zhang Kuang quickly followed her, stuck to her softly, followed her step by step, and said: "I, I brought a few thousand gold baht, do you want it?"

Xia Zhitao staggered: "You are a child, where did you get so much money?"

Half a head taller than Xia Zhitao, the leader of the Devil's Cult, whose single name can make people fearful, opened his eyes wide and defended softly, "I'm not a child."

She took out a pile of golden fine gold, and held it with her long and slender fingers, as if she didn't think it was enough, she added another sentence:

"Zhitao, are you short of money? Before, Yanling offered me [-] gold baht to go fight Jiaolong in the South China Sea. I was too lazy to agree, but—"

Xia Zhitao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Stop it, what am I going to do with so much money, buy a few cities to grow vegetables for fun?"

Seeing Zhang Kuang looking at her pitifully, Xia Zhitao couldn't help but soften again, took a piece of gold the size of a pearl, and winked at her: "This is enough."

Although there were many things Qin Zhi wanted to buy by name, none of them were rare items, such as thin red ropes, and a copper penny could buy a lot in the market.

Presumably it was because of the madness that followed, the hawkers trembled after seeing Xia Zhitao, and lowered the price to the lowest as if to please her, and even gave her for nothing.

Xia Zhitao was very happy, and took all the orders. Along the way, he bought everything Qin Zhi wanted.

And Zhang Kuang followed obediently all the way, quietly and beautifully dazed beside him, so frightened that all the passers-by stayed away, and detoured when they saw it.

Although the leader looked energetic and able to move freely, Xia Zhitao couldn't let go, so he bought a lot of high-quality wound medicine and bandages, thinking that he had to help her look after it.

On the way, they passed by a clothing store. Xia Zhitao pretended to buy a black suit for Zhang Kuang, and while the other party was not paying attention, she stuffed a set of floral clothes of the same size and a light pink robe, and handed over the money together, and left contentedly. .

About an hour later, the two returned to their original positions, and saw three familiar figures standing at the corner of the street from a distance.

Xia Zhitao came a little closer, and just about to say hello, she was shocked by something behind Jinli: "This...what's going on?"

I saw Jin Li, dressed in red, crossing her arms and crossing her legs, sitting triumphantly on a small wooden cart. Behind her was a pile of precious things, piled up in the shape of a hill.

Zheng Luo Yi said helplessly: "Where did you encounter the strange fate again?"

Jin Li smiled and said: "Go in and tell me, this koi is rich, please eat the best!"

She snorted and dragged the cart, carelessly drifted into the inn behind her, and because her back was too dazzling and full of jewels, it attracted a lot of surprised eyes.

Like a nouveau riche, Jin Li booked five upper rooms for everyone with a wave of his hand, and then asked for the most expensive box by name.

A few people sat down in the private room, Qin Zhixian gave Zhang Kuang a few uncertain glances, and after making sure that Xia Zhitao was safe, he slowly said, "So, Xiaoyu, what are you doing?"

She saw several important materials for the layout on the cart at a glance, and couldn't help but wondered, "Where did you get so many things?"

Jin Li said meaningfully: "This is all thanks to the leader."

Zhang Kuang, who was carefully watching Xia Zhitao making tea, actually didn't know whether he was looking at the teacup or the person, raised his head silently, with a dazed expression: "?"

Jin Li chuckled, and said eloquently:

It is said that she saw the bustle of the street, so she bought three roast chickens excitedly, and gnawed on the chicken legs while shopping, feeling very happy and happy.

I was having a good time strolling around, when I suddenly bumped into a young man dressed in gold and silver, but with a sad expression on his face.Jin Li wanted to make money... oh no, holding Yashan's benchmark of "being kind to others", she leaned over with a roast chicken.

After chatting for a while, the young master said that he saw a tall beauty in black on the West Street, and that he had already fallen for him at a glance, but thinking of meeting by chance and not knowing the name of the beauty, where she lived, he couldn't help but feel discouraged, and sighed that he would be depressed for the rest of his life.

"Ahem, ahem——!"

Zhang Kuang was happily drinking the tea poured by Xia Zhitao, he suddenly choked on Jin Li's description, his hands trembled and the tea poured over the table.

"Are you okay?" Xia Zhitao hurried over to pat his back, stuffed a few handkerchiefs over Zhang Kuang, who was flushed from coughing, wiped the table, and asked curiously, "And then?"

When Jin Li heard this description, she understood, and secretly thought that what the young master was talking about was not that the leader, I fried myself, so he hurried over to cheat money... Ah, don't comfort the young master.

Zhang Kuang breathed a sigh of relief, twisted a small white porcelain cup with his fingertips, looked at Jin Li with a complicated expression, and said, "So, what did you say?"

Jin Li said: "Master, don't worry, I told that young master to give up, saying that you belonged to someone, you've been married for a long time, and you gave birth to dozens of children and ran all over the place, and then the young master broke down and ran away crying, leaving me behind." A load of stuff—”

Zhang Kuang's expression froze, and the porcelain cup in his hand hit the table with a bang, he was terrified, and said in a trembling voice, "What?"

She thought the first half of the sentence was quite reasonable, but the second half developed extremely rapidly, like a landslide, which caught the leader by surprise.

"Master, don't panic," Jin Li said calmly, "It must be exaggerated a little bit, so that person can give up his heart and honestly hand over the money... Oh no, so that the young master can have a chance to find another beautiful woman. "

Xia Zhitao leaned back and forth laughing, resting her elbows on the back of the chair, seeing Zhang Kuang's confused face, she wanted to tease her once or twice.

She raised her eyebrows and looked at the other party, reached out to pick up a strand of black long hair, and said in a soft voice, teasing leisurely: "Look at you, you also said that you were not born well, but in the end, you can pick more than ten or eight peach blossoms just by walking around casually." .”

Zhang Kuang picked up the small porcelain cup he had dropped, straightened it silently and placed it on the table, aggrieved: "Zhitao, I didn't..."

Jin Li grinned and said, "Anyway, thank you, Master, for letting me get a load of stuff!"

Zheng Luo Yi drank tea calmly: "Very good, very good."

Qin Zhi's complexion changed unpredictably, as if he wanted to speak, but he couldn't get into the harmonious atmosphere at all. He slapped the table for the last time, threw down the words "set up at Maoshi tomorrow morning", and left angrily.

Several people sat for a meeting again, and when it was getting late, they went back to their room to rest.Xia Zhitao troubled Xiaoer to bring a bucket of hot water to the room, and bring some alcohol to clean the wound.

After instructing Xiao Er, she stepped on the wooden steps a few steps, saw Zhang Kuang who was about to open the door to go in, and calmly stretched out her hand to stop him from going in.

Xia Zhitao folded her arms, leaning halfway in front of the door, with a smile on her face: "Master, can you come to me tonight?"

The author has something to say: Zhang Kuang: (as if a high school student who hadn't reviewed but was suddenly named on stage to do a question)! ? ! ? ! ? !
