no one knows better than me

"My brother?" Mei Hualan was still holding her sword at the moment, and her hands and feet were a little weak. After hearing Zhuang Qingliu's words, a trace of suspicion suddenly flashed in her light-colored eyes, and she grabbed her sleeve and said, "Wulan Mountain , my brother is stationed at Wulan Mountain, the southernmost mountain range in Meizhou!"

Without saying a word, Zhuang Qingliu immediately picked her up, and her figure disappeared in place.

Wulan Mountain is the longest ancient mountain in the entire Immortal Continent, stretching across thousands of miles.Because the terrain is winding and rugged, and the mountains are damp and cold, it has always been the place with the most dark things.It is also rumored that this is the place where the ancestors of the Mei family lived in seclusion for many years before they established a sect.

Hundreds of years ago, the ancestors of the Mei family entered here alone in order to prevent the evil things from Wulan Mountain from continuously running outside to cause harm to the world.Later, due to his great achievements, he had a dream and soared here, and after waking up, he was filled with spiritual light, so he created the Zhangtai Mei family in the bitter cold place north of Wulan Mountain, where no one would like to set foot.Since then, the Zhangtaimei family has passed down from generation to generation, and established a supervisory village here, always undertaking the important task of guarding Wulan Mountain.

In such a place, you don't need to think about it to know that you must send someone with both status and ability to garrison for a long time, but it is hard and dangerous to garrison here. Naturally, few relatives and disciples are willing to go, so the cultivation base has become more and more profound in the past few years. It is reasonable for the plum blossom day to be sent here.

When the two arrived at Wulan, it was already evening, and the sky was dark but still clear.The whole Wulan Mountain is sticky and humid, filled with thick miasma poisonous white mist everywhere, as if you can squeeze out a handful of water vapor with your hand in the air.

Mei Hualan followed Zhuang Qingliu with one foot deep and one foot shallow, the whole person didn't know whether it was because of the cold or because he was worried about Meihua's day, and would turn up and down on the slippery moss floor from time to time.Zhuang Qingliu picked her up, hugged her in his arms, and kicked open the wooden door in front of her.

This is a relatively flat and open peak in the middle of Wulan Mountain, which is conducive to setting up enchantments and sticking to the four directions, so there is a set of houses painted with special spell patterns to prevent evil spirits from attacking.But at this moment, there was no one in Meihuazhou's house and the high watchtower, and there were no traces of fighting around, as if something had happened quietly here not long ago.

Seeing this, Mei Hualan, who has always been used to keeping silent about everything, blushed silently.Zhuang Qingliu didn't speak, but turned around slowly, squinting and patrolling around.

It's not that there are no people here, but there are people in all directions, but these people are unknown and temporarily hidden in the dark.

Because he didn't know who they were and what they wanted to do, Zhuang Qingliu didn't make a sound for a while, but bent down calmly, and made a movement of putting the plum blossom rail on the ground.Sure enough, the moment she turned around and just exposed her vest, there was a soft cracking sound of "chi" in the air, it was a feathered arrow that was directly aimed at her eyebrows!

Zhuang Qingliu raised his hand suddenly, and effortlessly cut the arrow in front of his eyebrows. The feathers on the tail of the arrow were still trembling, as if they were also covered in a very sticky miasma.

But this arrow was far from the arrow that had injured Zhu Heng, and it was definitely not the arrow of the mountain monk.

After drooping his eyelashes for a moment, Zhuang Qingliu flipped his wrist, and suddenly threw the poisoned cold arrow back in the direction of the left front, but the strength left room and did not hit the killer.

Sure enough, the next moment, a tall man with a skin as dark as wheat charcoal leaped to avoid the sharp arrow and jumped out.This person's facial features are extremely open, and he looks a little familiar.

Zhuang Qingliu immediately raised his eyebrows and glanced at him: "Who are you?"

The man jumped out with his bow in hand. He didn't intend to speak at first, but when Zhuang Qingliu asked him, a stern look suddenly appeared between his brows, and he said coldly, "Zhuang Qingliu! You actually asked who I am?! You and the little immortal next to you Keep your eyes wide open——!"

Before he finished speaking, Mei Hualan next to Zhuang Qingliu pulled out his sword bit by bit, and said softly, "Hou Yin."

Zhuang Qingliu suddenly remembered that this was the Hou Yin young man from the Hou family that the Dachuan Hou family sent to Gumengchao, but was sent back by her for tying the Mei family brothers and sisters to the cliff to seek revenge.He was already thirteen or fourteen years old back then, and in the past few years, he has grown into an adult, and his appearance has changed a lot, so Zhuang Qingliu didn't recognize him.

But her eyes fell deeply on Hou Yin's face, but her heart sank.Her original guess was that Zhenshan Monk made a sudden move, and the purpose was to use the Mei brothers and sisters to lure her out. If so, Mei Blossom Day would not be in any danger before she arrived.But now it would be different if someone from the Hou clan did the attack. Hou Yin bore not only the deep hatred of his father's generation, but also the humiliation of being resigned. It is to get rid of it immediately and then quickly.

Unexpectedly, Hou Yin pulled the tight bowstring to the bottom at the side of the boulder, and said word by word: "Zhuang Qingliu, I tell you, immediately hand over the little immortal by your side, and then remove the nightmare curse on me. I will not argue with you, and the shame of being sent back that day will not be pursued."

Zhuang Qingliu raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "The Nightmare Curse? What is that?"

"You still don't admit it?!" Hou Yin immediately shot an arrow at her, and said sharply, "Okay, I'll remind you, Nightmare!"

When Zhuang Qingliu heard this, he suddenly understood what he was talking about.There are all kinds of strange curses in the world, the so-called nightmare is a kind of nightmare.At the beginning, the affected person is prone to insomnia and dreaminess, waking up at night, which has no major impact, and it is easy for people not to notice it. Later, they will gradually start to lose energy, and their hands and feet will be weak, followed by cold sweats all day long. Thinking in a trance, becoming a useless person, and in the end, will naturally die of panic in sleep.The state of death will be as weird and terrifying as if he suffered a huge shock before death.

Zhuang Qingliu turned his eyes to Hou Yin at this time, and asked a little strangely: "You said you had a nightmare?"

Hou Yin said angrily: "Why are you asking without knowing it?! I have never had such a vicious nightmare in my family of immortals. Where did that bastard, Meihuari, learn it from you?! And after the night banquet at Meijia's Qionghua Terrace that day, My uncle has been suffering from nightmares since then, you still pretend!

Zhuang Qingliu suddenly understood.When she was in the library of Mei's house, she had roughly read the histories of the hundreds of schools of immortality. On the boundary of the hundred schools, the Mei family of Zhangtai was closely connected with the Hou family of Dachuan, which happened to be bounded by Wulan Mountain.Now Meihua Zhou is stationed here, and the south side across a river valley is the territory of the Dachuan Hou Clan.

Thinking about it, Hou Yin was originally stationed in the south of the valley here. Later, after knowing that Mei Huazhou was also here, he continued to provoke and conflict with him because of big and small grudges. Now Hou Yin was no longer Mei Huazhou's opponent, but Mei Huazhou Now, as a disciple who has been picked on by the Mei family everywhere, Zhou can't touch him easily.For some reason, Hou Yin suddenly fell under the nightmare curse one day, and when he thought of Hou Yan's nightmare, he naturally attributed it to Mei Huari.

But the current situation is that Hou Yin's nightmare came from somewhere, and Mei Huazhou was taken away by him.And he was lying in ambush here, most likely waiting for Mei Hualan, who would rush over when he heard about his brother's accident, and wanted to arrest both brothers and sisters.

Not to mention that the Hou family would be so arrogant, and I don't know whether Hou Yin is acting on behalf of the Hou family or on his own initiative. It is just that there are too many messy places that cannot be explained at once. After thinking about it with lowered eyes, Zhuang Qingliu just confirmed: "Plum Blossom Day was taken by you?"

Hou Yin said: "Besides being tortured to death by our Hou clan, what else should he deserve to die?!"

This sentence means that at least people are not dead yet.Zhuang Qingliu immediately let go of his heart, and raised his eyes to Hou Yin: "You are not his opponent at all, how did you capture him?"

Hou Yin suddenly became furious and shouted: "What are you? It's just a flower essence, how dare you look down on me?!"

"I'm not looking down on you. It's just that this matter is really strange, so I have to ask." Zhuang Qingliu said, "Since you have captured him, let him go if you don't want to let him go."

Hou Yin's eyes showed a fierce look: "How dare you be so arrogant?!"

Zhuang Qingliu glanced at him inexplicably: "Why don't I dare, do you think it's up to you to stop me here?"

"Good! Good! Good!" Hou Yin said three good things in a row, and laughed angrily, "Since you don't want to be your old young master of Mengchao, and you insist on meddling with the affairs of our fairy sect, then you Just wait for me!"

As he finished speaking, hundreds of densely packed people poured out from behind the valley walls and rocks in all directions, under the trees, under the water, and in the crevices and corners. He holds a high-grade fine bow in his hand, and he seems to be a master of some cultivation. He must be invincible when facing a group of prey on weekdays.

However, Zhuang Qingliu only glanced at it, and seeing that Mei Huazhou was not in the middle of it, he directly embraced Mei Huazhou and flew up.

Hou Yin raised his hand and yelled, "Fire me an arrow!"

In an instant, countless densely packed black dots flew over quickly, and the arrows were like a torrential rain.However, Zhuang Qingliu rose and fell calmly as if stepping on water and touching flowers, directly stepping on the arrow rain and coming out lightly, and flew away from here in a short time.

Since the man is not in Hou Yin's hands now, he must have been sent back to Hou's stationed place on the other side of the river valley first.Strange to say, there is a river valley separated, the weather in the north is clear, but the south is raining thin and cold at the moment.

Hou's residence was built according to a long and narrow mountain, with torches on the jagged cliffs on both sides. The flames flickered faintly in the drizzle, and a little low smoke came out from time to time.Zhuang Qingliu didn't intend to procrastinate any longer. After rushing in as if entering no one's land, he patrolled the small rows of houses and the school grounds back and forth in the blink of an eye. Mei Huazhou was being locked in a special cage at this time, tied with Bing Lingsuo, he has fainted now.

Zhuang Qingliu pulled out Chasing Spirit without hesitation, cut open the cage and the spirit-binding lock with a single knife, and when he was leading him away, suddenly a flash came from the corner of his eye, and he turned his head and saw another cage under the light of a faint torch. Inside the cage was a young man about the size of a plum blossom circle, with a strange red mark on the left side of his face, which was obviously in the shape of ginseng.

Zhuang Qingliu stared at the same comatose young man in the cage, and after looking back and forth at his face, he suddenly frowned, and before Hou Yin rushed back, he also took the young man and disappeared away.

A few people blinked and went back to Meihualan's room in Meijiaxian Mansion. Zhuang Qingliu quickly put Meihuazhou and the boy who was rescued on the bed, and checked each of them roughly. The boy with red marks on his face No other problems, breathing smoothly, just passed out temporarily.Meihuazhou's situation is not very good, her whole body is so hot that Zhuang Qingliu doesn't know what's wrong for the time being.

After all, Mei Hualan was still young, she had been tense for a long time, and now she still couldn't calm down, she stood in front of the bed and looked at Mei Huazhou, her face was so tight that she looked more like a little old man.

After thinking about it, Zhuang Qingliu covered the two of them with a quilt, turned her head and patted Mei Hualan's small face lightly: "Okay, it's okay, don't be afraid, you know Zhuheng's medical skills, I'll let her come over and have a look Your brother." As he spoke, a spiritual light ignited in the palm of his hand and sent the message.

Although Zhu Heng was usually cold and arrogant, seeing Zhuang Qingliu leaving the island privately, he wanted to shoot her with his eyes, but after receiving the urgent summons, he rushed over without delay.

"Ah, Lan Lan..." Zhuang Qingliu opened her arms enthusiastically and ran towards her.

But Zhuheng reached out to touch her: "If you are grateful, just kneel down and kowtow to thank you."

Zhuang Qingliu: "..."

Zhu Heng swept her coolly, and walked directly to the bed. He seemed surprised when he saw a boy he didn't know besides Mei Huazhou, and then he looked at the tattoo on the boy's side face and suddenly hesitated: "Isn't this... "

"Yes, yes, it's not important." Zhuang Qingliu ran back to sit by the bed again, stretched out his hand and pulled Mei Huazhou out, "Take a look at him first, why is he so hot?" It was getting hotter and hotter.

How can people be so hot?Is this still alive?

Zhuheng seemed to have glanced at Mei Huazhou, and felt something strange, so he quickly reached out and put his hand on his veins.Zhuang Qingliu and Mei Hualan's eyes immediately focused on her face.But seeing Zhuheng was silent for a while, his expression suddenly became strange.

Zhuang Qingliu looked at her, and then at Mei Huazhou's face: "What's going on?"

Zhuheng seemed to glance at her subtly, put his hand on the plum blossom's veins, and said slowly: "His spiritual power has disappeared."

"?" Zhuang Qingliu said, "What?"

"Didn't you hear? I said his spiritual power disappeared, and his cultivation over the years also disappeared."

Zhu Heng took his hand away, bowed his head and said hesitantly: "It's very strange, it didn't disappear, or it suddenly became almost non-existent, as if it was back to the beginning of cultivation, with only a little fluctuation that was almost non-existent."

The plum blossom circle next to her suddenly fell silent, and her two eyes, which were always clear to the bottom, seemed to have sunk into a bottomless abyss.

Zhuang Qingliu's eyes fell silently on Mei Huazhou's face, and asked word by word: "What is disappearance, and why did it disappear?"

The author has something to say: Guess who is the one with "ginseng" on his face
