lead fades away

As soon as he landed, Qing didn't even care about the churning of energy and blood in his body and the severe pain of his flesh and blood, he immediately gritted his teeth and ran vertically through the courtyard wall, forcefully passed through the restriction, jumped to the outside of the courtyard, then dived into the dense forest, and ran at top speed without looking back.

Because of considerations in his heart, Qing Shi didn't go back directly to Han Shuo's cave, and fled in a circle to a secluded place in the inner mountain, but after running for a while, he found that the man didn't follow at all, so he couldn't help but stop in doubt.But at this pause, the internal injury caused by that person also flared up, Qing Shi gritted his teeth, swallowed the fishy sweet liquid overflowing from his throat, turned around and found a dark place to sit cross-legged, took out a Pour the powder into the mouth, and then mobilize the spiritual power to perform exercises to heal the wound.

Since he didn't know whether the danger had passed, Qing didn't dare to heal his wounds too carefully. He calmed down his blood a little bit, smoothed the spiritual power in his body, then stood up again, let go of his five senses, and carefully felt the movement around him.

The sound of the wind, the sound of insects, everything that should be in the mountains and forests at night is not lacking, except for the footsteps and breath of the man.

Can't help thinking lightly.

The man didn't want to take his life, but he obviously didn't expect that he could survive a blow and then have the ability to escape.

But who is that person, is it Ximen Hao, Qing Shi is not sure.

The voices that came into the ears twice were a bit vague, as if they were directly poured into the eardrums by sound transmission, and there were some out of tunes. At first glance, it seemed to be somewhat similar to Ximen Hao's voice, but when you think about it carefully, it seems a bit specious.

More importantly, he checked before entering, and there was only Ximen Hao's breath and body odor inside, and there was no trace of a second person.And he can be sure that until he reaches for the shoe, Ximen Hao is still asleep, and sleeps very deeply, otherwise he would not have attracted his attention.

——In that case, where did this Nascent Soul master come from?It can't be Ximen Hao himself, right?

The monks in the Nascent Soul Stage can indeed shed their Nascent Soul and temporarily separate their infant body from their physical body.But Ximen Hao is not a Nascent Soul cultivator, there is also no doubt about it.A monk in the Jindan period can disguise himself as a monk who builds a foundation or even refines Qi through the clever breath-holding technique, but once a baby is born, due to the inevitable separation of spirit and flesh during the baby-making process, the entire body, internal meridians and even spiritual roots will be destroyed. There was a remarkable change like a reborn body, but this kind of change could not be concealed by any clever breath restraint technique.

——Unless, abandon the original physical body, take it away and rebuild.

But even if you do this, you can only maintain the cultivation of the Nascent Soul for a short period of time. If you want to occupy that body for a long time, and avoid the tragic ending of losing your soul due to the loss of support, you must unite your soul and body, and restore the Nascent Soul again. Turn into the original soul and start all over again.

——Like, myself.

Qingshi was distracted, but the sense of smell, which was opened up to the limit together with the sense of hearing, caught a smell that seemed to be similar, and immediately dutifully sent it to Qingshi's nostrils.

--how come? !

Qing Shi was stunned for a moment, then remembered the memory related to this smell, and was suddenly surprised and suspicious.But before he had any more doubts, the sound of gentle footsteps penetrated into his ears, which were already highly alert, like a leisurely walk in the garden, not in a hurry, but gradually approaching his direction steadily and firmly.

Lightly narrowed his eyes.He was not familiar with Ximen Hao, so he couldn't tell if the footsteps were his, but it was midnight, how could there be such a coincidence, someone came out to hang out at such a time, and they just happened to be heading towards where he was. hang out?

But at this time and this place, I really couldn't bear to think too much, so I quickly stripped myself from head to toe, and even took off the hairpin on my head.I wanted to set fire to the clothes and burn them, but with a second thought, Qingshi put all these things into the treasure bag, sealed them carefully, and then mobilized his spiritual power to strip off all the odors and foreign objects on his body.

After he couldn't smell any peculiar smell, Qingshi took out a piece of clothes that Fairy Fengxi gave him from the ring, and while putting on the cover, he moved quickly again.

However, even though he knew that the person who came was probably a Nascent Soul cultivator, and he had just been injured, it was the best policy to go back to Han Shuo's cave immediately to avoid disaster and heal his injuries. There's no point in sacrificing your life for the safety of Xiantrumen.But curiosity and unwillingness kept agitating. After a distance, Qing Shi finally couldn't help but stop, gritted his teeth, dodged and hid behind a rock, and took out a concealment talisman and patted himself .

——He wants to see who is here!

Qing Shi held his breath, concentrated most of his spiritual power in his eyes, and waited motionlessly for the man to arrive.

In less than half a stick of incense, a male cultivator dressed in the standard Tsing Yi of the foundation-building period disciples of Xianchumen appeared in Qingshi's sight, and soon stopped at the position where Qingshi had stopped before, neither moving nor moving. The other movements and the expression on his face were also calm, as if he just came out to hang out late at night with insomnia, as relaxed and indifferent.

— Simon Hao.

Seeing this man's handsome face, Qing Shi squinted his eyes, feeling that it was reasonable, but also a little unexpected.

The distance is too far, and Qingshi can't feel whether Ximen Hao is searching with his spiritual sense, but he can tell from the time he stays and his closed eyes that he is indeed doing that.Qing Shi is confident that Ximen Hao's spiritual consciousness can't find him, but he doesn't dare to act rashly, and just waits for Ximen Hao to leave without finding any results.

Ximen Hao didn't give up as easily as Qing Shi expected, he quickly withdrew his consciousness, opened his eyes, then raised his left hand to reveal the spirit beast ring on his wrist, and called out a black spirit dog from it.

--Depend on!

Qing Shi immediately broke out in a cold sweat.Scholarly Mendi Forum

As soon as the spirit dog landed, it lowered its head to sniff, then raised its head after a while, and let out a low bark in the direction of Qingshi.

Qingshi immediately grabbed the short sword and a dozen talismans that Han Shuo had given him.

Ximen Hao did not take any action under the guidance of the spirit dog. He just turned his head and glanced at Qingshi, then smiled meaningfully, and then sent the spirit dog back to the spirit beast Huan, turned around, and walked back in the direction he came from.

Qingshi couldn't help being stunned, but after listening carefully, he found that Ximen Hao had indeed left, and he left without hesitation.

For a moment, Qingshi couldn't help thinking of going back to have a look.

But this time, reason prevailed after all, Qingshi stood up and went straight back to Han Shuo's cave.

Stepping into Han Shuo's cave, Qingshi couldn't help but let out a long breath.However, as soon as he relaxed his mind, the injury caused by that person began to scream again, and the heart-wrenching pain that he hadn't experienced since regaining his body instantly occupied his whole body, forcing Qing Shi to use his last bit of strength to move his body to the medicine box. Tianzhong sat down regardless of his manners, and quickly used the Yin Qi formula to draw the spiritual power of the surrounding herbs into his body.

Han Shuo was also alarmed at this time, and flew out of the stone room with a livid face, landed in front of Qingshi, and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?!"

At this moment, Qing Shi couldn't concentrate on speaking, closed his eyes tightly, and shook his head as hard as he could.

Veins suddenly popped out on Han Shuo's forehead. He took out a porcelain bottle and poured out the elixir for Qingshi to take, but because he didn't know about Qingshi's injury and his taboos when performing martial arts, he didn't dare to touch his forehead casually. Body.However, after taking a closer look, Han Shuo found that although Qingshi's face was pale, his breath was still stable, and there was no danger of his life, so he was slightly relieved, but then, because of Qingshi's disheveled hair and His face was gloomy again due to the thin clothes that were completely different from when he left.

After nearly an hour of breath adjustment, Qingshi opened his eyes again, and looked up at Han Shuo who had been standing beside him protecting him.

"Elder Han, aren't you tired from standing?" Qing Shi frowned, and laughed heartlessly.

How could Han Shuo be in the mood to joke with him, and asked with a cold face, "Are you all right?"

"Don't worry, I won't die." Qing Shi laughed.

Han Shuo stretched out his hand to pull up his wrist, injected spiritual energy to check it, and saw that there was indeed some bleeding in the abdomen, and the meridians and primordial spirit were all fine, so he turned to ask, "Then let's talk about what's going on. Who did you mess with again?"

"To be honest?" Qingshi tilted his head, seeing that Han Shuo had obviously started to let out a chill, he quickly replied seriously, "To be honest, I don't know who actually hurt me. Thinking that there will be a third person in the house, after being beaten for a while, I just focus on running for my life, so I don't have the leisure and courage to find out who it is."

As he said that, Qingshi described in detail what happened to him in Shen Chenzhou's bedroom.

After listening to him, Han Shuo immediately frowned, "Cultivator Yuan Ying? Are you sure?"

"Believe it or not." Qing Shi shrugged, and then complained, "When did the Xiantrumen's mountain guard formation become so lax that they didn't even react when a Nascent Soul cultivator of unknown origin entered."

"How do you know it's from outside, maybe it's a Nascent Soul elder from the inner sect." Han Shuo said coldly.

"... Well, it's also possible." Qing Shi pouted, obviously disapproving.

Han Shuo didn't argue with him, he frowned and began to think, but his eyes fell on Qingshi unconsciously, and soon he asked with a worried face, "What's the matter with your clothes?"

"I changed it myself. The previous set was stained with something." Qing Shi reached out to touch the treasure pouch at his waist, hesitated for a moment, took out the changed clothes from the treasure pouch, and handed it to Han Shuo , "There is some kind of tracking powder on it, and I couldn't think of any other way for a while, so I had to take it off first."

"Tracking powder?" Han Shuo took the clothes, put them under his nose and smelled them, but he couldn't smell anything, and looked at Qingshi suspiciously.

"Your nose is bad, you have to let Wang Wang come and smell it." Qing Shi joked, but he couldn't help wondering how Ximen Hao and the male cultivator who followed him in the Wuxia Wonderland followed him based on this smell.

There will never be anyone in this world who will deliberately specialize in the five senses because of the defect of spiritual consciousness like him, right?Besides, he has seen the memory of the person in the Wuxia Wonderland, and that tracking fan was given to him temporarily by Lord She Jidao... By the way, there seems to be something else that was given to him at the time, but the memory of Yuanshen has always been blurred , he didn't take it to heart.

However, how could Ximen Hao and Taoist She Ji have the same kind of follower fans?Also, when did the follower stick to me this time?When he was attacked by the Nascent Soul, he still opened the door latch and broke the window lattice...

"Your nose is like a spirit beast?" Han Shuo's cold snort interrupted Qingshi's thoughts.

"I practiced it on purpose, of course it's different from you who haven't practiced before." Qingshi stopped thinking about it, raised her eyebrows and smiled at Han Shuo, "By the way, this kind of tracking powder will spread by itself. You took this Clothes stained with tracking powder, you will also get this smell. If Ximen Hao enters your cave or sees you, he will immediately know that the person who touched his room tonight has something to do with you. "

"So what?" Han Shuo sneered disapprovingly, and then looked at Qingshi suspiciously, "You mean, he didn't know that you were the one who entered his room?"

"I shouldn't know, otherwise he wouldn't have chased it out on purpose, and he didn't chase it to the end." Qing Shi shook his head.It was really dark and windy tonight, Ximen Hao couldn't see his hands and fingers in that room, and he obviously didn't have as good eyesight as he could see in the dark, so it was only natural that he couldn't see his face clearly.

However, at this moment, Qingshi somewhat understands the reason why Ximen Hao didn't investigate to the end-no one else, but timidity.He is slightly jealous of the mysterious Yuan Ying who appeared in Ximen Hao's house, and Ximen Hao is probably also jealous of him, a mysterious monk who can escape from Yuan Ying's hands.

"He's still chasing you?" Han Shuo thought about the word chasing seriously again.

"This..." Qing Shi originally wanted to say that Ximen Hao was just chasing and not killing, but after thinking about it, he felt that he might not have murderous intentions, but he didn't show it in his actions.Because he couldn't explain it clearly, Qing Shi simply told the whole story of what happened later, but he didn't mention that he had been sprinkled with this tracking powder before.

Han Shuo fell silent again.

Taking advantage of his silence, Qingshi poured another pack of hemostatic powder for himself, then took Ximen Hao's shoes out of the storage ring, and prepared to insert the sound card underneath, to listen carefully to what Ximen Hao has been doing for the past ten days. Where did you go, who did you meet.

Han Shuo's gaze was also attracted by the sudden appearance of the shoes, and he couldn't help asking, "What are you fussing about?"

"I hid the sound card in his shoe." Qing Shi turned the shoe over while explaining, and was about to scratch the sole of the shoe to get the sound card, but his face suddenly changed, and then he lifted the shoe and fell hard on the ground.

— not those shoes!

He gritted his teeth bitterly.

Because old shoes are far more comfortable than new ones, only a very small number of female cultivators who love beauty will change their shoes from time to time. Male cultivators usually wear a pair of shoes for a year or even many years. Anyway, monks, especially senior monks, don’t have much time to walk. , there is no need to worry about wear and tear at all.It is also because of this that Qing Shi did not choose to tamper with things that are easy to lose and replace, such as belts and hairpins.

——But the shoes he got back were not the ones he hid the sound card in!

Qingshi didn't know whether it was Ximen Hao who changed the shoes by accident, or whether he changed them on purpose when he noticed his hands and feet on the shoes.If it was the latter, he completely understood the reason why Ximen Hao didn't pursue it to the end - he didn't get the handle on Ximen Hao, so Ximen Hao naturally wouldn't care about his life or death, so what's there to fear even if he went out to spread the word?Unless he can prove that the Nascent Soul cultivator hidden in Ximen Hao's bedroom is not the elder of the sect... No, he can't prove to others that there is a Nascent Soul cultivator hidden in Ximen Hao's bedroom at all!

Thinking about it this way, Ximen Hao is probably wishing that he would go out to publicize this matter now, and just in time to find out his identity, and bite back by the way, saying that he broke into the same family's residence privately with evil intentions.

——This time I was too careless!

Qingshi was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but Han Shuo who was beside him was puzzled and asked, "What's the matter?"

"This is not the shoe where I hide the sound card." Qing Shi gritted his teeth.

Han Shuo glanced at the shoes, pondered for a while, then turned his head to look at Qingshi, and said seriously, "Don't pursue this matter any further, leave it to me to handle."

"You want to intervene?" Qing Shi immediately raised his eyebrows.

"You are injured, can I still watch?" Han Shuo asked.

"Then how do you want to intervene? Arrest Ximen Hao for interrogation? What if he refuses to admit it? What if the head is alarmed?" Qing Shi asked like a cannonball.

Han Shuo was speechless, but soon said with a cold face, "So what if you startled Thirteen Chu, this matter is no longer a personal grievance between you juniors, it is time to let him know that he has accepted a What kind of apprentice!"

"What if he knew it a long time ago? What if he also got involved in this matter? What if the Nascent Soul cultivator hiding in Ximen Hao's house is someone under the seat of Zhenjun Hengchu?" Qing Shi continued to ask He said, "More importantly, how do you plan to explain my matter? How to explain that this matter was actually caused by my sudden whim, and how to explain that I, a small foundation-building cultivator, can withstand the sneak attack of the Nascent Soul cultivator and then Get out of the way?"

"you……"

"The most important point is that we have no evidence." Qing Shi said seriously, "It was all my speculation before, and now it's just my own experience, that is to say, it's just my family's opinion from the beginning to the end—except you , who would believe it?!"

Han Shuo stopped talking, but his complexion became worse and worse.

"Elder Han, I'm very selfish, and I don't have the self-consciousness of a disciple of Xianchumen. It's fine to take a little risk for my relatives and friends. For the sake of the great cause of the sect, I'm sorry for my reluctance." Qing Shi said.

"I can't ignore this matter." Han Shuo said in a deep voice.

"Han..."

"Don't say any more." Han Shuo refused bluntly, but when he saw Qingshi's pale face due to blood loss, he subconsciously eased his tone, "Don't worry, I'll try not to involve you in it."

Qingshi also knew that Han Shuo's sect was very religious, no matter how he presented the facts and reasoned, it was impossible to make Han Shuo change his mind, and it would easily annoy him, so he kept his mouth shut and said no more.

"You should also concentrate on recuperating. Don't let your recovery be affected by being too preoccupied." Han Shuo said again, then squatted down and grabbed Qing Shi's wrist, "Shall I take you into the house?"

"Take me to the upper stone room, take a medicinal bath to heal faster." Qing Shi said lightly.

"Okay." Han Shuo stretched out his hand to pick up Qing Shi, jumped into the stone room, and suddenly remembered something and said in a low voice, "I will make the person who hurt you pay the price."

——I'm afraid that after that person pays the price, my loss will be even greater.

Qing Shi smiled wryly, then sighed softly and leaned on Han Shuo's chest, "I appreciate your kindness, but don't forget, I offended you first when it came to the matter, and I was merciful if I didn't kill him with a palm gone."

"Be merciful? I think he is lucky. If you are really hurt by him, even if he is the Nascent Soul of Zhenjun Hengchu, I will never let him go lightly." Han Shuo sneered.

"By the way, is there a technique that can control another person's physical body, which is similar to seizing a house, but it will not allow one's own soul to merge with this physical body, and damage the cultivation of the soul that is more advanced than the physical body? Why... of course no one will notice that this person is being controlled?" Qing Shi blurted out, he was still brooding over his failure to feel the existence of that Nascent Soul.

"Huh?" Han Shuo was confused, but after thinking for a while, he suddenly said, "Are you talking about the body outside the body?"
