What should I do if my junior brother becomes a bad old man?

The journey of six people together suddenly became three people, and it was much less lively and embarrassing.Seeing the Immortal Guichen leave, Gu Xunzhi still felt a little unaccustomed to it - he had been walking with his master for so long that he almost forgot the feeling of being alone with Ren Sha.Although there is an extra Xiaoyu now, Xiaoyu often turns into a little fox and runs in front of the two of them recently, which does not cause any disturbance to them.

However, Gu Xunzhi couldn't help but think about Xiaoyu. Recently, they had shortened their sleep time to the shortest in order to hurry, and Xiaoyu seemed unable to fall asleep all the time.Every morning when he woke up, Gu Xunzhi would see her pale face, making her look even more haggard.During the day, she refused to catch up on sleep, but insisted on changing back to the original form of a white fox and running in front, until she was too tired to run, and was picked up from the ground by Gu Xunzhi.

Previously, Xiaoyu practiced desperately on Kunlun Mountain, which really improved her endurance a lot in a short period of time.But no one can bear to hurry like this.Gu Xunzhi looked at her worriedly, then raised his head to look at Ren Zhen, as if he wanted to ask him for an idea.However, Ren Xun's expression was calm and unwavering, in stark contrast to Gu Xunzhi's restlessness:

"The matter of Qingqiu country is what Xiaoyu is determined to solve. As friends, all we can do is stay by her side."

Although Ren Zhen was always indifferent, Gu Xunzhi felt too indifferent when he talked about Xiaoyu with such an attitude.He didn't want to argue with Ren Zhen, so he just said in a muffled voice:

"Follow the instructions of the senior brother."

No matter how dull Ren Xun was, seeing Gu Xunzhi like this, he knew he was unhappy.Ren Sha didn't know how to explain it.After a while, he finally said:

"Since I started wandering in the world, before I met Master, I have erased countless times of memory."

Gu Xunzhi vaguely knew something about Ren Sha's past, but he didn't know why he suddenly mentioned this.He was still awkward in his heart, he refused to look up at him, only to let Ren Sha say again:

"In the world, I have had many friends and experienced many joys and sorrows. The pain in the world is heartbreaking. I have experienced so much that no one can bear it. So I can only let myself fall into a deep sleep again and again, and put those memories Completely destroyed, in exchange for the courage to start all over again... But this time, with you by my side, I don't want to do it all over again."

Gu Xunzhi's heart was shocked, he raised his head and looked at Ren Sha, only to hear him continue:

"...so I want to leave a little leeway for myself, don't experience too many joys and sorrows, don't share the feelings of too many people... deep memories, as long as I stay with you is enough. "

Ren Xun always said words that seemed to be a confession at unexpected times, and Gu Xunzhi's lips trembled.Ren Zhen has lived for too long and experienced too many things, he can't fully understand.But he vaguely realized what kind of determination Ren Xiao had made in order to be with him.

In this case, Gu Xunzhi couldn't criticize him any more, so he could only lower his head and say:

"But we still have to help Xiaoyu after all, right?"

"Of course." Ren Zhen's expression was very gentle, "But we can only help a little, this matter will ultimately depend on Xiaoyu herself."

Gu Xunzhi didn't know why Ren Sha said that.But since he said he wanted to help, Gu Xunzhi felt relieved.In his opinion, as long as Ren Sha is around, everything can be solved.

They traveled day and night, and soon came to the foot of Qingqiu Mountain.This hill is actually not that big, but they walked around it, but they couldn't find the path that Qingruo led them before.At this time, everyone remembered that the entire Qingqiu Mountain was protected by the barrier set up by the elders of the Fox Clan. If there were no props like Qingruxu's, they might never find the way up the mountain.

They tried to find a way through the long grass, cut down the obstacles in front with their knives, and rushed towards the direction of the mountain.However, the fog covered the entire Qingqiu Mountain, confusing them. They clearly felt that they were walking upwards, but they returned to the starting point unconsciously.

After finally reaching Qingqiu, but unable to go up the mountain, Xiaoyu was so anxious that she almost cried.

Gu Xunzhi looked at Ren Zhen full of hope, hoping that he could find some way.Ren Zhen frowned and thought for a while, then said:

"If you forcibly break the barrier from above and dispel the mist, you should be able to enter easily."

Before Gu Xunzhi thought about the rationality of this method, Xiaoyu shook his head:

"No, this is absolutely not possible. Today's Qingqiu country can only survive because of the protection of the barrier. If the barrier is forcibly destroyed, even if this crisis can be solved, Qingqiu country will soon be destroyed because of other things. The cause is at stake again. We've got to think of something else."

Xiaoyu was right, the barrier on Qingqiu Mountain was set up by the elders who paid their lives. Even Ren Xing couldn't guarantee that after destroying the barrier, it could be restored to its original state.Besides, they still don't know whether the situation in Qingqiu is really as bad as they imagined. If the problems in Qingqiu are not serious, but they destroy the barrier that protects Qingqiu, then the loss outweighs the gain.

There must be another way.

Gu Xun's way:

"Neither Sha Qing nor I are from Qingqiu country, if we want to go in, we may have to rely on Xiaoyu."

Xiaoyu shook her head:

"Although I'm a princess in name, I'm not born in Qingqiu country. I don't know anything about this enchantment. Back then we left in a hurry, and I didn't even bring out the golden book to prove my identity as a princess. "

Xiaoyu's words seemed to remind Ren Zhen, his eyes lit up:

"Perhaps there is a way."

Everyone looked at Ren Sha, only to hear him say:

"Although Xiaoyu was not born in Qingqiu, she is a real princess of Qingqiu. When the Lord of Qingqiu awarded her the golden book, he did not just imitate the etiquette of ordinary people, but exchanged spiritual energy with her. We I think her aura should be recorded."

"Even if it is recorded, I don't feel anything!" Xiaoyu tried to release the aura, but nothing happened.

Ren Sha shook her head:

"It shouldn't be that simple. The area covered by the Qingqiu barrier is too large, so it won't be too sensitive. The little bit of aura you release won't be sensed by the Qingqiu barrier at all... I think it needs a clearer instruction .”

"What kind of instructions?" Xiaoyu frowned and asked, "Blood?"

Before anyone could say anything, Xiaoyu had bitten her own finger and stained the grass and trees of Qingqiu Mountain with her blood.

Gu Xunzhi frowned and reproached:

"Too rash."

Although Gu Xunzhi was a little worried, it turned out that Xiaoyu's method was very effective.As soon as her blood stained the blades of grass, a wind blew up on Qingqiu Mountain.

A gentle wind lifted the mist and fell the long weeds, and a path opened to their feet.

Xiaoyu took the lead and walked ahead. Whenever there was a fork in the road, Xiaoyu would smear his blood on the grass, and he could get clear instructions every time. They came to the gate of Qingqiu Kingdom so smoothly.

As soon as they came here, everyone realized that the atmosphere was not right.

The fox soldiers who had been guarding the gate at all times disappeared, and the gate of Qingqiu Kingdom was currently unattended.If it wasn't for the enchantment outside still functioning, anyone could enter and exit at will.

Everyone looked at each other - this is definitely not normal.

Xiaoyu bit her lip.

She rushed over at the fastest speed, couldn't eat or sleep well along the way, and just wanted to hurry up to save Qingruxu.But when she really arrived at the gate of Qingqiu country, she cringed instead.She is still young and has experienced very few things. She can't imagine what is waiting for her in front of her. She can't imagine whether she will see something she can't bear after she enters... Will she Already late?

Her limbs were stiff and she could not move.She gritted her teeth and wanted to move forward, but it was like a nightmare, no matter how hard she tried, her legs couldn't move a step.

Ren Zhen and Gu Xunzhi stood behind her and looked at her.Gu Xunzhi was worried for her in his heart, he finally got here, why didn't she go in?

He wanted to say something, but was stopped by Ren Sha.Ren Zhen spoke to Xiaoyu, his voice was cold:

"If you don't want to go in, we can go back right away. When you step through the gate here, you really can't turn back."

Xiaoyu's body trembled, she never thought that she had such a choice.But she knew that Ren Xiao was right, she might...be able to turn around now.As long as she turns around now, Qingqiu Kingdom has nothing to do with her.She can live happily without knowing anything, without thinking about Qing Xu, and not thinking about what will happen to Qingqiu Kingdom after all, these can have nothing to do with her... This is the easiest choice.

But is she really leaving?Can she really...just leave?

Such thoughts made her feel cold all over, and she didn't know why she was so cold, was it because she was afraid?

She didn't know whether she was afraid of the things inside this door, or her cowardly self who turned around and left, but she knew that all choices were within her mind.

"Little Qingzi...Little Qingzi..."

She unconsciously called softly, several times before realizing that the sound came from her own mouth.She didn't know why she was muttering Qingruxu's nickname at the moment, but this name seemed to give her strength, and finally gave her the courage to face everything.

In any case, she had to save him.Even if she came late, even if he was dead, she would always take another look at him.

She turned her head, and Gu Xunzhi saw her expression change.

"Let's go in."
