After being picked up by Daxian

"It's not bad at all. It is because of this that I am more worried. Originally, the power of the heavens is weakening, but the power of this demon world is constantly increasing. The existence of this ghost face cave is a major source of power for the demon world. Therefore, we must To suppress the expansion of the power of the demon world, we need to start from this place first."

Hengqing pondered for a while, then suddenly said: "Since it is the source of the expansion of the power of the demon world, Rong Ying will definitely not let us destroy it easily. This trip is more difficult than the previous few times... Are we sure?"

"During the time you were unconscious, I collected a lot of information and materials. Even if it can't be broken, at least it can be guaranteed that we can retreat. So, this time, we try our best to break it, but the most important thing is to protect ourselves..."

Seeing Xue Jiang's earnest speech, Heng Qing couldn't help being a little dazed.

The snowfall on weekdays is already astonishing as heaven and man, but the eyebrows are cold and arrogant, like the ice and snow on the top of the mountain that does not melt all year round, which is quite a bit cold and unapproachable.

Today's bright red outfit, on the contrary, added a lot of vitality to the usually cold and solemn Xue Jiang.Even the brows that were usually frosty were melted by the redness of spring.

The most wonderful thing is the bright red plum blossom mole on the forehead, and the peach blossom and phoenix eyes are facing her unconsciously, wrinkling a pool of spring water for no reason.

Noticing that Heng Qing was staring at him in a daze, Xue Jiang remembered his attire, his neck to the tips of his ears were red all over. "Look, what are you looking at?"

"You look good."

After saying this sentence without thinking, both of them were taken aback for a moment, and then turned their eyes away in embarrassment.

Hengqing coughed a few times, blushed a little and said, "Since we are going to the Ghost Face Cave, we should return to the Mortal Realm as soon as possible to prepare."

Xue Jiang gave a "hmm", recalling Heng Qing's words just now, walking on the road, he felt a bit of secret joy.

Back in the room, the two discussed for a long time before deciding to leave.After tidying up a bit, the two went to the ancient city of Huiyin.

Going north along the mountain road, the terrain becomes more and more open, and the population gradually increases.The ancient city was a little far from Linhe, and it took the two of them a few days of walking before they finally arrived at the ancient city of Huiyin.

However, after the two went deeper, they found that it was getting weirder.

Although Huiyin is a historical ancient city, it is different from the prosperous towns nearby, but it is a desolate scene.There are yellow mud cave dwellings surrounded by earth mountains, and few people come in and out.Even if there are people, they are in a hurry and keep walking.

Occasionally, some old village women wash their clothes and drink tea. Hengqing wants to approach them and ask for news about the ghost face cave.And when they found out that they were approaching, before Hengqing could speak, they immediately turned their heads and went back to the house, closing the door and disappearing.

Hengqing walked a few places, but she got her nose bruised, while Xue Jiang slowly followed Hengqing's pace, and said unhurriedly: "Don't ask, the people here don't know how to communicate with outsiders. Communication. Because of the Ghost Face Cave, the ancient city of Huiyin not only attracted many people who wanted to trade their souls, but also attracted many ghosts and ghosts."

"The ancient city has been infested by demon energy for a long time. To them, demons and resentful spirits are nothing more than normal. They are even more numb and indifferent to the arrival, life and death of people who come and go. Therefore, the established rules of the residents here are to just live by themselves, regardless of Others live and die, as if that sentence is..."

"Everyone cleans the snow in front of the door, don't care about the frost on the roof of others." Hengqing looked at all the closed doors in front of her and sighed.

Seeing that the villagers were indifferent and had no intention of taking them in, the two of them didn't stay long, but after a little confirmation of where the Ghost Face Cave was, they rushed to a nearby more prosperous town and temporarily found an inn to rest.

After entering the room and putting down the burden, Hengqing picked up the teapot and poured two cups of tea.After a while, Xue Jiang also walked into the room slowly, and sat beside Heng Qing.

Hengqing drank several cups of tea, and felt that his thirsty throat was relieved from the rush of the past few days.

"Although I found an inn for the time being, it seems to be far away from the place where the ghost face cave is located. It is obviously impossible to walk there. Even in the middle of the night, sneaking with spiritual power is still very eye-catching. "

Xue Jiang just drank the tea in the cup unhurriedly, and then slowly said: "Don't worry, just now downstairs, I have asked the shopkeeper for two fast horses. Tonight, we will pretend to be messengers from the post station , Riding a horse can speed up our speed and reduce the attention of others.”

"So that's how it is... No wonder you have been looking around. It turns out that you are looking for an inn with a post station nearby, so that you can borrow horses and facilitate our sneaking late at night. Xuexiang, you are really considerate."

"Before I went out, I had collected information about the ancient city, and I had visited it to understand the living habits of the villagers and their sensitivity to outsiders. Therefore, before I came, I made other different preparations in case of emergencies. need."

"However, the villagers in the ancient city are not far from where the Ghost Face Cave is. What should we do if we make a move and are found to have used spiritual power?"

"The villagers in the ancient city usually rest very early, and they are used to the arrival of outsiders and monsters. As for the fights from the outside world, as long as the visitors don't bother them, no matter what happens, they will not go outside. Therefore, we You don’t have to worry about being discovered when you use your spiritual power, you just need to be careful in dealing with the attacks in the Ghost Face Cave. Even though you haven’t been taken in, this can be regarded as a great favor to us..."

Seeing Xuejiang's calm expression, which seemed to be very sure, Hengqing couldn't help sighing: "It seems that you have really put in a lot of effort, even the rest and living habits of the villagers in the ancient city are so thoroughly understood..."

"When you were in Dongfang Mountain, you were able to defeat the Gu King because you discovered the flaws. Later, when you were facing the river, you attacked rashly and almost put you in danger... So, this time, I have prepared a perfect plan."

When Xue Jiang was talking, he actually looked at Heng Qing steadfastly, with an extremely serious expression, and the emotion in his eyes seemed to be overflowing.

As they looked at each other, they felt an unnamed emotion rising in their hearts.Busily suppressing this budding impulse, Hengqing just slightly turned his eyes away, but the reddish ears revealed his heart at this moment.

"um. Thank you……"

Xue Jiang also realized that his eyes were too intense, so he hurriedly closed his eyes, and stood up quickly.

"Then let's all rest early, after all, sneaking late at night requires a lot of energy."

Without waiting for Hengqing's response, Xuejiang hurriedly left the room, as if he was escaping from something.

And Hengqing's heart is also a mess at this time.With all kinds of thoughts involved, he frowns and ponders for a moment.

I don't know when I developed feelings for Xuejiang, because of the disparity in the gap and the feelings of inferiority, I have been suppressed in my heart all the time.

I never dared to express my feelings, let alone help them grow hair.However, the look in Xue Jiang's eyes just now gave him delusions for a moment...

However, it was only a moment before Hengqing's heart was poured with cold water, and she instantly woke up.

In any case, Xuejiang is the main god, and he is just a Sanpo saved by him.This disparity is an insurmountable gap.

No matter what the reason is, it is impossible for Xue Jiang to like herself.Besides, there are laws in the heavenly world, between immortals, it is doomed not to be happy with each other...

Recalling the hallucinations in the ghost school, Hengqing couldn't help laughing bitterly.

"Ling Su" is right, he is just a sad person with different thoughts.

Whether it was Ling Su back then or Xue Jiang now, he could only watch from afar and could not approach with any other intentions.

At the painful moment when Danyuan was crushed by Rong Ying and his soul was torn apart, he actually felt relief.

Unable to love, brothers betrayed, criticisms from around... all disappeared in an instant.

However, what he didn't expect was that he was rescued by Xuejiang, and even more so by accident, he was ordered by Ziguang to become an immortal again.

At the beginning, he made up his mind to go.Even if she was found to be rescued, she was just disheartened and had no intention of recovering.

Later, under Xuejiang's persistent care, Hengqing's cold heart was gradually warmed up and she was able to regain her strength.

Faced with this immature and awkward immortal, although Hengqing had a helpless face, she still indulged and pampered her.

And after discovering his emotions, he chose to carefully restrain his emotions, just to avoid repeating the same mistakes and end up in the same end.

It's just that it's different from the pain of suppressing emotions before, and it's also different from the heart-piercing pain when the soul is scattered.

The pain this time was like a thin needle piercing into my body.As if to slowly suffocate himself, he climbed into the bone marrow step by step.

If it's just your unrequited love, as long as you can be your best friend with Xue Jiang for a lifetime, the two of you can drink tea and chat in your free time, restrain your thoughts, and be lonely forever.

But if, obviously, there is a possibility of two lovers being happy, but they are destined to fall in love and never be able to stay together, then what should he do?

……

After resting, Hengqing was packing up the things she needed, but at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Turning around, I saw Xuejiang opened the door and had already prepared a disguise.

"I'll go downstairs and bring the horses. You can pack up and come down."

After speaking, Xuejiang turned and left.Seeing the disappearing figure, Hengqing also hurriedly erased the messy thoughts in her heart, dressed up a little, and hurried downstairs.

The dead of night is the time when no one is there.The two rode on their horses, and on the way to the Ghost Face Cave, they both sat silently in tacit understanding.The sound of hoofbeats further accentuated the surrounding silence.

The horse galloped to the ancient city of Huiyin, as Xue Jiang said, but at that time, there were no traces of pedestrians on the road of the ancient city.After tying the horse to the tree trunk, the two rushed to where the ghost face cave was.

Just when he was about to arrive at the ghost face cave, Xue Jiang suddenly saw a figure shaking not far away, he hurriedly pulled Heng Qing back, and dodged into the hiding place.

After being held by Xuejiang, Hengqing was too nervous to move, but asked tentatively, "What's wrong?"

"Hush, it seems that someone is going to make a wish in that Ghost Face Cave tonight." Xue Jiang poked his head out slightly, his brows furrowed.

"However, it's not a big problem, just be careful when following in. Hengqing, I will follow into the cave first and observe the situation. After you set up a barrier outside, follow me."

After saying that, Xue Jiang realized that he was holding Hengqing's hand tightly, and then let go as if nothing happened.

"Okay, he has already entered. I will enter the cave first, and be careful of the changes outside."
