Quickly kill the rival

His fox was nowhere to be found.

Xi Zheng felt that this was Murong Qi and Nangong Chuang working together to play a joke on him, dragging the unhealed sick body out of bed, staggering and grabbing everyone who could see it, and asked, "Who came with me?" , a young man in white clothes, have you seen it?"

Huang Men knelt on the ground shaking his head and said nothing, the female officials begged Xi Zheng to return to the room, not to catch the cold outside, but Xi Zheng turned a deaf ear.He stopped and yelled in every corner of the palace, and Xi Zheng, who was at the end of his voice, was stunned by Nangong Chuang, who rushed over after receiving the news, and sent him back to his room.

"I can't go on like this," Nangong Chuang said with a sad face, "I'm afraid it won't stop if Brother Chu can't find Mr. Bai."

After Murong Qi finished his official business, before he had time to rest, he was attracted by the noise in the side hall. At this moment, he was a little impatient, and said indifferently: "Just tell him that the surname Bai is dead, and it will be settled once and for all."

"Your Majesty," Nangong Chuang reminded, "Please be careful with your words. Brother Chu's body has not recovered yet, and he has been hit. I'm afraid he won't be able to accept it."

Xi Zheng slowly regained consciousness from a bout of dizziness, but just when he could hear a little sound, he heard the words from the mouth of the emperor in the world.

... who died?

Xi Zheng was lying on the bed, staring at the patterns embroidered on the bed curtain above his head with wide eyes, his reaction was slow, and he hadn't seen his eyes blink for a long time.

Murong Qi is a king of a generation, he may talk about life and death a lot, he may be talking about a son of an aristocratic family, or a certain clan relative, in short, things like life and death can only be mortals.

His fox is not.

"Are you awake?" Murong Qi caught sight of Xi Zheng's blankly opened eyes, ignored Nangong Chuang's eyes, and said bluntly, "Stop doing unnecessary things, Mr. Bai who brought you here is already dead. "

Xi Zheng's pupils shrank, his breathing was rapid, he turned his head and stared at Murong Qi fiercely: "You are talking nonsense!"

He didn't have a good rest at first, and coupled with his unscrupulous screaming in the cold wind before, now Xi Zheng's voice is hoarse and rustling, and the sharp voice when he was emotional is completely broken, but he still does not lose his full emotion .

The boy lying on the bed was short of breath, his chest heaved and heaved, his red eyes were full of fierceness, almost turned into blades, and came towards Murong Qi.

"There is no need for Gu to lie to you," Murong Qi said lightly, "Chu Daochang, you can ask General Nangong."

Xi Zheng moved his eyes to Nangong Chuang who was behind Murong Qi. The elegant general looked apologetic and considered his words: "Brother Chu, I'm afraid that Mr. Bai is not a mortal, maybe he can't be too absolute. It's just an injury, and hermit practice is not necessarily the case."

Nangong Chuang's words gave Xi Zheng great hope. He nodded again and again, and said inconsequentially: "Yes, yes, the fox is a demon. He was injured. He needs to practice to heal his injuries. I know, I know. He is not here, maybe he went back Yes, I want to go back too, I want to groom the fox..."

Nangong couldn't bear to face him, so he turned his head away, but Murong Qi didn't have so many scruples, and said bluntly: "Chu Daochang, there is only one sentence, it's better to tell you."

"Actually, Mr. Bai left a word when he left," Nangong Chuang stepped forward, blocked Murong Qi, and said to Xi Zheng in a gentle voice, "He said that your body has been injured and you need to calm down. Lie down and recuperate, and want me to watch over you, so that he won't worry if you don't recover well."

"I'm already healed," Xi Zheng propped himself up, and said eagerly, "Didn't you say that I've been in a coma for a month, one month is enough!"

Murong Qi looked at Nangong Chuang protecting Xi Zheng, and could only sigh slightly: "Chu Daochang, Mr. Bai may mean that he may come back to pick you up when you are recuperating in the palace. If you are not here, I am afraid He's in a hurry."

Xi Zheng stopped talking for a while, he lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then a low voice sounded: "Will he...will come back here?"

Murong Qi said: "At least he knows you are here, don't forget, he brought you here."

Nangong Chuang stepped forward, patted Xi Zheng on the shoulder, hesitated, and said, "If you can trust Brother Chuang, Brother Chu, you should stay in the palace and rest for at least another month. In this month, I can pass Brother Jiang Contact a cultivator and help you find Mr. Bai."

Xi Zheng tried his best to smile: "Thank you Brother Chuang."

Finally coaxing Xi Zheng well, after Nangong Chuang and Murong Qi repeatedly told the female officer to take care of Xi Zheng, they both left the side hall, looked at each other, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiao Chuang, you won't be able to fool him for long like this," Murong Qi said, "I'm afraid he will suffer even more if this continues."

Nangong Chuang shook his head: "Let's talk about the future. His most urgent task now is to take good care of his body. One month is still too short..."

It was too early for Nangong Chuang and Murong Qi to be relieved. In the early morning of the next day, the female officer who took care of Xi Zheng rushed to Murong Qi's bedroom and knelt down to plead guilty.

"What did you say?" Murong Qi, who hadn't got up yet, lifted the curtain of the bed, frowning, "Chu Xihe is gone? Have you looked outside the hall?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have already sent people to search the side hall and its surroundings," the female official said, "I did not find the figure of the Taoist priest. I am afraid that it would be inappropriate to delay, so I came to meet Your Majesty."

Murong Qi quickly put on his clothes, and at the same time ordered: "General Nangong, please enter the palace."

He already had a judgment in his mind, and now the most urgent task is to find Chu Xihe quickly.

Nangong rushed in very quickly, the sky was bright, the palace was already full of people, and the patrol teams trotted all the way, looking for each other, but as the area expanded and the time became longer and longer, they still couldn't find Chu Xihe .

How could a 17-year-old boy who hadn't recovered from his injuries disappear without a sound in such a short period of time without knowing anything about the terrain?

The palace servants serving in the side hall had already knelt on the ground, silent like cicadas, some even trembling, for fear of being implicated and punished.The female official serving the side hall knelt in front of the palace servants with a slumped face.

Murong Qi was sitting in the side hall, the chief supervisor serving on one side had opened his mouth several times, but was blocked by the emperor's face.Nangong Chuang looked at the sky and said: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, you should go to the morning court. Here, the minister is here."

Murong Qi pushed away the no-heat teacup, and said calmly: "I haven't found it yet, so there is no need to look for it. I'm afraid he has already left the palace. He is a cultivator after all, and it is normal to have some spells near him. I just didn't expect it." , He didn't listen to a single word we said yesterday..."

Nangong Chuang also came to his senses, and smiled wryly: "I'm afraid Brother Chu has already made up his mind, we were all deceived yesterday."

The sky was bright, and the guards and palace people who had searched for a quarter of an hour but failed were dismissed, ending the long search.

"Forget it," Murong Qi said, "he has his own thoughts, we can't make decisions for him after all, let him go."

Nangong Chuang rubbed his forehead: "It's true, I just hope that he is safe and sound."

At this moment, Xi Zheng, who was worried about, had already returned to Jiumin Mountain.

Dressed in a white jacket, his face was bloodless, his lips were pale, his eyes were blue, his feet in soft silk shoes stepped on the soft soil, and he was panting while holding on to the thick and leafy tree trunk. Behind him, just now Xiao Hei, who had transformed from a prototype into a human form, looked at him slightly worried.

"Xihe, are you alright?"

The worry of his good friend Wolf Demon made Xi Zheng try his best to smile: "It doesn't matter."

The black merchant is a friend he is very assured of. Even if he appeared at an odd time, he didn't think too much about it. He immediately grabbed the straw and asked the wolf demon to take him back to Mount Jiumin.

Now, he has no time to be distracted. Why his friend appeared in the side hall is secondary, the main thing is...

"Xiao Hei," Xi Zhengyong looked at the wolf demon with expectant eyes, "Have you seen my fox?"

The black merchant blinked, and slowly shook his head: "After entering the imperial city, Lord Shanzhu disappeared without a trace. I didn't see him."

Xi Zheng was taken aback: "You watched him enter the imperial city."

The wolf demon averted his eyes and kept silent.

"Xiao Hei," Xi Zheng said, "I can't find the fox now, I'm in a hurry, if you know, please tell me."

The black merchant sighed: "I really don't know."

Xi Zheng slowly lowered his eyes: "...Well, then I'll go back first, maybe he's waiting for me at Jueqiongping."

The wolf demon nodded silently, and escorted Xi Zheng to Jueqiongping.

Jueqiongping has been banned for several miles, and no one has ever been able to go up it except Bai Jiuming himself and Xi Zheng.However, today, the black merchant sent Xi Zheng all the way to Baiqiutan. Just when the wolf demon's feet crossed the previous restriction line, Xi Zheng's face turned pale and he couldn't breathe for a moment.

As soon as the black merchant's foot fell to the ground, he seemed to have reacted, quickly withdrew his foot, and said, "Next, Xihe, you have to go by yourself."

Xi Zheng's face was as white as a ghost, only his eyes were so dark that it pierced people, he said in a daze: "Yes, next, I can only go up by myself."

Baiqiu Lake is very quiet. Before, whenever Xi Zheng approached, Qiuwei would jump up with his tail, but today let alone Qiuwei, there is not even a fish bubble on the water.

Xi Zheng's mind went blank, he tried to stand up straight, and walked towards Jueqiongping with steady and steady steps. After walking for half an hour, according to his current body, he should have been unable to bear the burden, but Xi Zheng was normal, with a pair of His dark eyes were fixed on the road in front of him, step by step, as if unconscious, he walked back to the home he had just left.

Jueqiongping is the same as before he left. The ground is covered with pure white snow, but there are no footprints on it. Snow covered.

Pushing the door open and entering, a chill came over him, Xi Zheng bit his lip tightly, and searched from room to room.

Not in the main hall, not in the bedroom, not in the kitchen, not anywhere, his fox is not here.

Xi Zheng turned his head and went out, heading directly to the tree that the fox loved most in the past. The thick snow was dug away by his hands, there was nothing in one place, and there was nothing in the other place, here...

Xi Zheng sat blankly in the snow, the uninterrupted wind and snow gradually left a layer of white on his body, his slender eyelashes were stained with snowflakes, which melted in a moment, dripped down the lower eyelashes along the eyelashes, and rolled from the cheeks Falling, disappearing into the air...

----

His fox is gone.

"Xihe..."

Someone's voice seemed to be coming from afar, calling him, a little worried and anxious, but it wasn't his fox.

Xi Zheng stared in a daze until someone shook his shoulders vigorously. In the snow-white, the wolf demon in black was particularly conspicuous. He shook Xi Zheng's shoulders with both hands. When Xi Zheng's eyes focused, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Xihe, are you alright?"

Xi Zheng didn't want to think about why the wolf demon came to Jueqiongping, but the only person he could confide in now was his friends, he said blankly: "My fox is gone."

The black merchant paused, and said, "I'll accompany you to find it."

"I don't know where he is," Xi Zheng murmured, "He didn't tell me."

The black merchant said: "It doesn't matter, we can always find it if we look for it."

"Okay, let's go find it!" Xi Zheng raised his strength, his feet softened when he stood up, and he almost fell down. The wolf demon supported him, full of disapproval, "Xihe, you have to rest before going Find the mountain master, if he sees you like this, he will feel distressed."

Xi Zheng shook his head slightly: "I can't rest, I can't close my eyes, I can't find him, I can't rest for a moment."

The black merchant sighed: "Xihe, I'm sorry, you really need to rest."

As soon as the words fell, Xi Zheng was hit by the spell from the wolf demon, and he collapsed limply.

The spirit that had been tense for two days was forced to relax, and the rest sign was in a coma, and the body was relaxed.

The black merchant re-established a barrier on Jueqiongping, with a small area, it only protected the breath signs sent into the room by the drifting technique.The wolf demon sat cross-legged under the window, waiting quietly.

He cannot enter that house.

That was the home of Chu Xihe and Bai Jiuming.

Every once in a while, the black merchant would pass through the wall to transmit spiritual energy to the comatose Xizheng in the room. Until three days later, the spiritual energy that survived again was rarely accepted. The wolf demon probably knew that the Xizheng was almost gone.

Not long after the spell was lifted, a well-dressed Xi Zheng came out of the room holding the door frame. His clear eyes fell on the wolf demon under the window sill, and he whispered: "Thank you."

The black businessman got up: "It's just a friend, no need to thank you."

The three-day rest gave Xi Zheng a great release. At this time, he was no longer on the verge of being broken as before, and his mental energy recovered slightly, and then the dead air emanating from the inside out was not at all. No change.

The wolf demon didn't say too much, and said straightforwardly: "I'll take you to find him, I know him well here."

As a demon who grew up in Jiumin Mountain, the black merchant is quite familiar with this place, but for some reason, he was a little on guard, and after casting an invisibility spell on Xi Zheng, he dared to take Xi Zheng around to search for it.

Jiumin Mountain is very big, and it took three days to search for one east side, one cave, one monster den, as long as there was a place where a fox could be hidden, Xi Zheng would not let it go, and kept bending over to search.The wolf demon did not intervene, but quietly stood aside to protect his safety.

After three days, Xi Zheng searched all over the east of Jiumin Mountain, and after not finding even a single wild fox fur, he had to move to the west.Still searching meticulously, calling out one after another.

Even if the wolf demon cast an invisibility spell, their movement was too loud, and the rabbit spirit quickly found it, looking at the black merchant with a worried face.

"How is Daoist Xihe?"

The black merchant shook his head, remained silent, and only temporarily released the invisibility spell on Xi Zheng's body.

Tu Lida's eyes were filled with sadness: "Master Xihe, is Lord Shanzhu missing?"

After Xi Zheng glanced at Rabbit Jing coldly, he covered his eyes with his hands: "I can't find him, what should I do, Tu Li, can you help me?"

"Of course I will help you!" Tu Li said, "Tell me what you want me to do."

Xi Zheng asked: "You have been incarnate for a long time, do you know where the fox will go back to besides Jiumin Mountain?"

Tu Li pondered for a while: "I really don't know, but all I know is that the mountain master won't go to a place."

Xi Zheng looked at Rabbit Jing, and Tu Li said, "Taiwu Mountain."

"Thank you, Tu Li." Xi Zheng nodded towards Rabbit Jing.

Tu Li shook her head: "I didn't help you with anything, so there's no need to thank you. Daoist Xihe, I'll help you find it too."

Xi Zheng nodded: "Alright, please, Tu Li."

Rabbit Jing smiled timidly: "As long as I can help you."

With the addition of the Rabbit Spirit, the speed of the search became faster, but it was still the same as the east side, and found nothing.

Rabbit Jing wanted to continue helping Xizheng, but he politely declined.

"Next, leave me alone, Tu Li, you go back."

Tu Li glanced at the wolf demon who had been guarding Xizheng not far away, bit her lip, and nodded: "Then Daoist Xihe take care of yourself, I'll go elsewhere to find out for you."

After Rabbit Jing left, Xi Zheng's eyes froze: "Xiao Hei, I'm going to Taiwu Mountain."

The black businessman directly refused: "No."

Then he paused and said: "Not now, you wait for me."

"Huh?" Xi Zheng was puzzled.

The wolf demon brought Xizheng to Baiqiutan, and said: "There are Qiuwei fish hidden here, I will give you a water-proof bead, you go in and hide with Qiuwei, unless I come back, don't come out."

The black merchant took out a transparent bead and stuffed it into Xi Zheng's hand. He said, "No matter who it is, even if someone says they know the location of the mountain master, they can't come out. And..."

The wolf demon exhorted with a serious expression: "...be careful with Tuli."

Xi Zheng was taken aback for a moment, before he could speak, the black merchant had already raised his hand and released a barrier filled with the 500-year-old power of the wolf demon, firmly surrounding Baiqiutan.Under the sight of the wolf demon, Xi Zheng swallowed the words in his mouth, turned over and jumped into Baiqiu Lake.

The ripples in the pool swayed in circles, and the wolf demon watched quietly until the pool became calm again, then raised his eyes, turned and left.

After Xizheng entered Baiqiu Lake, Qiuwei swam to his side, didn't speak, just slid around under his arm.In these movements of Qiuwei, Xi Zheng gradually felt a trace of vitality in his body.

Qiuwei...it really is a great tonic...

Xi Zheng closed his eyes, swallowed the bitterness in his heart, and quietly waited for the wolf demon who could only be trusted now.

Fortunately, the black merchant is not a friend who will disappoint people. He came back quickly. After hearing the voice of the black merchant, Xi Zheng confirmed the identity of his friend again and again, and then came out of Baiqiutan. However, he only saw the black merchant. At one glance, he was stunned.

The black merchant was very embarrassed, his body had many torn cuts, although it was covered by his clothes, but the blood flowing out from his body could not be faked, the wolf demon was injured.

Noticing Xi Zheng's gaze, the black merchant flicked the blood drops that fell on the back of his hand, and said in an indifferent tone: "I caught a few monsters from Taiwu Mountain, and tried to force them to question them. The blood belongs to them."

Xi Zheng was speechless.

"I found out," the wolf demon said next, but Xi Zheng had no time to be distracted, "My lord, you are indeed in Taiwu Mountain."

Xi Zheng's eyes lit up: "I'll go right away!"

"No," the wolf demon shook his head, "Xihe, you have no power to protect yourself now, and Taiwu Mountain is not Jiumin Mountain, you can let a mortal go in and out without any harm, the monster of Taiwu Mountain is a man-eating of."

Xi Zheng was silent for a while: "I can, I can draw talismans, I have the spell to subdue demons, I can..."

"You can't," the black merchant interrupted Xi Zheng, "These are not the things you can rely on to find the mountain owner alive in Taiwu Mountain."

The wolf demon said: "My lord, you are not in the Taiwu Mountain now, but have been thrown into the Demon Sealing Formation in the heart of the mountain."

"And..." the wolf demon said hastily, feeling a bit unbearable, "The situation of Lord Mountain Lord seems to be not good. The news I got is that Mountain Lord is a prototype, and he was thrown into it without any resistance."

Breathing stagnation.

But the wolf demon went on to say: "Besides, there is no human way unless the moon is full. Even if the human way is opened, there are all demons there, which are not comparable to the strength of a monster. Even I dare not say that I can come out alive, let alone you?"

"Your situation is not good..." Just as the black merchant said this, he was interrupted by Xi Zheng.

"I can."

Xi Zheng cast his eyes on the ground, and slowly said: "I can come out alive and bring out my fox alive."

The wolf demon was a little surprised: "But..."

"As a Taoist priest, I can't protect myself." Xi Zheng glanced at his palm and said slowly, "But, as a demon, I can guarantee that I am stronger than anyone else."

The black merchant was stunned: "You... have fallen into a demon?"

Xi Zheng shook his head: "Although I don't have it now, as long as I want to gain power, I can do it anytime."

He clearly remembered that when he was in the Xanadu, Azhao once told him about his various cultivating demons, and in the following years, he also encountered demon cultivators and studied them a little.

He clearly understands how to improve himself in the shortest possible time.

Enchanted.

After the wolf demon understood Xi Zheng's meaning, he was silent for a moment, then he sighed and said, "Xihe, even if you have fallen into a demon, it just solves a problem."

"But your strength is just one of them, even the most insignificant one."

The black merchant said slowly: "The most important point is not with you, but with the Shanzhu."

"The owner of the mountain has lost his demon core, and he is no longer a demon."
