Ye Yunzhou already had a premonition that Mu Linjiang suppressed his seizures when he listened to Su Li's ramblings, he snorted twice, wrapped his clothes tightly, and curled up on the bench to take a rest with his eyes closed.

Without spiritual protection, the hard wooden bench and the chilly study room make it difficult for people to have a complete rest. Ye Yunzhou woke up twice intermittently, and it didn't take long. He felt the chair shake while he was half asleep. Glancing over his eyelids, he saw Mu Linjiang sitting next to him.

"There is still time, you can sleep for a while." Mu Linjiang raised his hand to block Ye Yunzhou's eyes, and said warmly.

"I don't even have a pillow... how can I sleep." Ye Yunzhou murmured in a daze, his exhaustion seemed to trickle away, washing away all the cold defenses, and Mu Linjiang's voice came to his ears, as if separated from him. A curtain of spring water, hazy and psychedelic.

"Master Ye really can't bear it." Mu Linjiang moved his position when he heard the words, leaned against the wall, supported Ye Yunzhou's shoulders so that he could rest his head on his lap, and indulged, "I'll make you one now."

Ye Yunzhou fell down again, before he had time to complain about Mu Linjiang, he fell into a soft dream.

Su Li quietly opened the door of the study room. Just as he was about to come in, Mu Linjiang glanced at him sharply. He was frightened and froze at the door. Mu Linjiang said silently, "Go and watch the wind", and Su Li quickly turned around. escaped.

Fortunately, those spirit beasts were not easy to deal with. Except for a group of guards who were wiped out, no one came to the library for a while. When Ye Yunzhou was woken up, he was in a daze for a moment.

"Don't be nervous, it's safe now." Mu Linjiang said, "I've found the entrance to the secret room."

Ye Yunzhou hissed, raised his hand and rubbed his neck, only then did he realize that the thing he was pillowed on was very warm, and the faint fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose.

"Very good, I hope the secret room doesn't require me to keep looking straight ahead." Ye Yunzhou sat up straight with no expression on his face, rubbed his neck, rolled his Adam's apple quietly, and said nonchalantly, "I might as well just lie on the chair , at least not stiff neck."

"Tsk, I don't know who said pitifully that I can't sleep without a pillow." Mu Linjiang brushed the hem of his clothes and smoothed out the wrinkles and hummed.

Ye Yunzhou turned his neck and got up, and took two limping steps: "Is there any? I forgot, why don't you get up yet."

Mu Linjiang stretched out his hand towards Ye Yunzhou and sighed: "My legs are numb and I can't get up. I blame some ungrateful young master."

Ye Yunzhou wondered who are you lying to, he tugged Mu Linjiang down perfunctorily, Mu Linjiang held the bench with his right hand and gritted his teeth, his effortless appearance didn't seem like a fake.

"There is a broken passage below the entrance of the secret room. Once someone enters, the entrance will be closed automatically, and you need to reopen it if you want to go out." Mu Linjiang said simply, and then asked Ye Yunzhou, "Can you still go?"

"It's okay." Ye Yunzhou leaned on a sword as a crutch. He wanted to ask if Mu Linjiang was really uncomfortable, but he didn't mention it after being interrupted by the secret room. He followed Mu Linjiang to another study room. After closing all the doors and following, Mu Linjiang had to tie back the gauze to avoid hurting his teammates.

There is nothing special about the structure of the study. Mu Linjiang pointed out a range, but Ye Yunzhou couldn't see the clue, folded it and stepped back, and then saw Mu Linjiang squatting down, clenched his fist with his right hand, and a few drops of blood dripped from his palm down.

Blood dripped on the ground, and the floor suddenly rippled like the surface of a lake. A stone door engraved with complex patterns slowly appeared. Ye Yunzhou opened his eyes slightly, and a picture was neatly painted on the stone door, which was as wide as the width of his arms. The formation map fertilized with blood is like a peony in full bloom, luxurious and solemn.

Mu Linjiang grabbed the handle on one side of the stone door, pulled it up vigorously, and turned around: "You guys go first, pay attention to your feet."

Ye Yunzhou raised his hand and pressed his fingers: "Master Su, you go first."

Su Li was obedient and jumped down first. Ye Yunzhou walked to the door and frowned, "You..."

He wanted to say something, but suddenly he was at a loss for words. After all, in theory, the blood injection is not life-threatening. If you ask "Are you okay", you will definitely get "It's okay".

"Cough, I'll go down first." Ye Yunzhou coughed dryly and jumped down.

Mu Linjiang was able to let him limping and jumping by himself, the ground must not be high, Ye Yunzhou gently bent his knees to relieve the pressure, but his left leg was a little weak, just as his body tilted, Mu Linjiang rushed to help him.

"I'll carry you?" Mu Linjiang tilted his head and asked with a smile.

"Why don't you hug me anymore." Ye Yunzhou waved his hand, and stepped on the ground with his sword. The narrow and dense steps in the stone passage meandered down to the depths. There was no light in the passage, and the last ray of light was turned off The stone gate was isolated from the outside, and the entire passage was plunged into darkness.

Mu Linjiang's tone became more lazy in the darkness: "Without spiritual power, I'm afraid I'll break your leg by mistake."

"I thought it was your hand that broke first." Ye Yunzhou blinked his eyes to adapt to the environment, while tentatively pulling Mu Linjiang's hand, his fingertips could clearly feel a wound across the palm, "If there is only a little bit left in this secret room, Gold, silver and treasure, don’t you shed blood for nothing.”

"It turns out that in the eyes of Mr. Ye, my blood is more valuable than gold, silver and treasure." Mu Linjiang said with deep meaning, "Mr. Ye's heart hurts?"

Ye Yunzhou: "..." I'm sorry I couldn't see your CEO performance.

"Do you want to bandage me?" Mu Linjiang asked again.

"What kind of bandage to use? Is it useful to wrap a handkerchief?" Ye Yunzhou slandered you for being a TV drama, "Let's go, if this passage is long enough, leave the scope of Xuanxi Yuan, and recover your spiritual power to heal yourself."

"Young master Ye's rationality can't help but make people sad." Mu Linjiang shook his head helplessly, "Can you see your surroundings clearly?"

"Reluctantly." Ye Yunzhou said and took two steps. The first step of this step is too narrow, and the second step is too wide. It is easy to make people's footsteps confused. It is difficult for him to walk with a sword, and Mu Linjiang is very fast. He caught up and grabbed his sleeve loosely.

Su Li took a fire bag and opened the way not far ahead. Even though Mu Linjiang covered Ming Tong again, he didn't want to be secretly glared at because of disturbing the harmonious atmosphere of the two walking side by side. The passage without a trace of signs gradually made people forget. After walking for an unknown distance, something different finally appeared in Huozhezi's range of light.

A stone wall like the stone door at the entrance to the secret chamber blocked the way.

"Brother Mu, brother! I found something!" Su Li shouted standing in front of the stone wall.

Mu Linjiang and Ye Yunzhou, who were lagging behind, quickened their pace and rushed over. Ye Yunzhou took the fire bag and shook it, his face couldn't help being serious, and he turned around and asked Mu Linjiang, "Is it the same as the Shimen we came in?"

"Yeah." Mu Linjiang frowned, "Stay back, I'll remove the barrier on the door."

"What is the principle of using blood to draw an array?" Ye Yunzhou asked him thoughtfully.

Just as Mu Linjiang was about to press the wound, he stopped when he heard the question and explained: "We are unable to mobilize our spiritual power under the restriction, but the spiritual power has always existed and has not disappeared. Usually, we use our own spiritual power to directly drive the formation. If you want to cast a spell, you can only cast it indirectly with a medium that contains spiritual power."

"So you just need the blood of the cultivator." Ye Yunzhou concluded, "Your blood is not necessary."

"Probably." Mu Linjiang vaguely felt that the answer to this question was not good, "but the effect of my blood is better."

"Then don't talk about the effect, I'll come this time." Ye Yunzhou said, pulling out the Ruoshui sword neatly, "If there is the same barrier behind this door, we will go back the same way, there is no need to seriously injure the uncertain secret room vitality."

"What kind of fun is a sword cultivator, you won't be able to learn it in another 100 years." Mu Linjiang pressed down on his sword, "This blood is not a problem."

"The thing in your veins is paint. It doesn't matter if you just paint the wall? Then I don't get in the way. Letting my blood won't affect your formation." Ye Yunzhou sneered, "You just accept the decision I made, don't refute me .”

"It seems that I have spoiled you and dared to speak wild words in front of me." Mu Linjiang said angrily, "Take back the sword, this is an order."

Ye Yunzhou twitched the corner of his mouth: "Who do you want to order, say it again?"

Su Li stood aside, his eyes scanning back and forth as the two of them were fighting each other, he thought for a while, then raised his hand to interrupt: "Well, can I say something?"

"Say." Ye Yunzhou turned his head with a bad expression.

"Why do you insist on using blood? Anyway, it's on the cultivator's body, so it's okay to pee!" Su Li shrank his neck and suggested sincerely.

Ye Yunzhou: "..."

Mu Linjiang: "..."

"Uh, can't you?" Su Li smiled awkwardly and took two steps back.

Ye Yunzhou looked at Su Li sympathetically, and said earnestly: "Young man, what is the most important thing for a cultivator?"

"Cultivation... cultivation base?" Su Li tentatively asked.

"No, it's face and temperament." Ye Yunzhou said seriously, "We are all people who have attained the Dao of Bigu, so don't mention common things that damage the demeanor of a cultivator."

Su Li seemed to understand but half understood, half believed, always felt that the most important thing for a cultivator was not this, but he really couldn't say anything else about Ye Yunzhou's solemn advice.

"Look at Mr. Mu if you don't believe me." Ye Yunzhou rolled his eyes, "Blood can bleed, your head can be broken, and your clothes and hairstyle can't be messed up. Only by learning this can you really step into the door of a decent fairy family."

Mu Linjiang: "..." It's not that I don't have one.

Mu Linjiang cleared his throat and said seriously: "Let's stop here, don't spoil the kids anymore."

"These words are all from the bottom of my heart." Ye Yunzhou took the opportunity to draw out a piece of Ruoshui sword, wiped the blade with his left hand, and spread it in front of Mu Linjiang, "This hand is given to you, you can use it however you want."

"...Forget it, I can't control you, don't cry for pain later." Mu Linjiang shook his head weakly, dragged Ye Yunzhou to the door, estimated the height, and pinched Ye Yunzhou's wrist towards the stone gate. Smear on.

Ye Yunzhou stood on tiptoe to cooperate with Mu Linjiang, and felt that Mu Linjiang's way of drawing arrays is indeed beyond the reach of laymen. A unique rhythm and aesthetic feeling, the formation diagram is only on the surface, and he can't understand the hidden formation process at all.

"You are the leader of the Cangmin world art formation." Ye Yunzhou boasted casually.

"Absurd praise, there are countless hermits in the world, and I dare not pretend to be the number one if I talk about my skills." Mu Linjiang said politely.

Ye Yunzhou said in his heart that you didn't say that on the boat, and he became humble when there were outsiders around.

Su Li watched and said, "You guys reconciled so quickly."

"What reconciliation, when did we have a conflict?" Ye Yunzhou took the time to turn his head.

Su Li choked for a moment, and belatedly asked: "By the way, I also have the golden core stage, let me bleed!"

"It's your turn next time." Ye Yunzhou said sadly, "It's a good thing to be enlightened."

After Mu Linjiang finished the painting, he pinched Ye Yunzhou's hand and turned it into the palm of his hand, took out a handkerchief to wipe it, and bowed his head to blow.

Ye Yunzhou's shoulders trembled, and the cool air spread out in his hands. He shuddered subconsciously, and withdrew his hand awkwardly. He glanced at Mu Linjiang from the corner of his eye. Seems to be looking at him too.

The sound of the stone gate turning over suddenly sounded at the next moment, Ye Yunzhou quickly concentrated, Su Li bent down and passed through the stone gate first, Ye Yunzhou and Mu Linjiang followed, the three of them walked a certain distance, and suddenly there was a faint sound of water in front of them.

Even though they had already walked out of Xuanxi Courtyard based on the distance, there was still no sign of lifting the restriction on spiritual power. It must have been tampered with alone in the passage. Ye Yunzhou knelt down and touched the steps, feeling some cold moisture.

Su Li, who was walking in the front, ran back quickly and reminded in a low voice: "The front seems to be a water prison. I can't tell if there is anyone in it, but the prison cell should be the end of the passage."

"Sigh." Ye Yunzhou sighed, "I can still take some gold and silver treasures away, but it would be a big loss to lock up a prisoner."

Mu Linjiang looked forward, he could only see the outline of a few steps in the dark passage, but the water vapor became heavier as he went forward, and the sound of dripping water was intermittent, and when he reached the place Su Li said, he could only see a row of stairs. The fence blocked the way out, and there was no gap for people to pass through. There was a narrow door on the fence, but the door was pasted with a talisman, and it was safely hung with a mechanism lock.

The lower part of the fence was immersed in cold water. Ye Yunzhou squatted down by the water and looked at it. The pool was about thigh high. The cell was pitch black, and it was impossible to see what was there.

"My dear brother, I don't always feel good." Su Li stared nervously at the opposite side of the fence, "If we can't get through, shall we go back the same way?"

"The air is so humid, who would feel better." Ye Yunzhou would not be afraid, so he turned his head to ask Mu Linjiang's opinion, and saw that Mu Linjiang was rubbing the talisman seals wrapped around the gate and fence, as if he was thinking about something.

"There are people inside." Mu Linjiang asserted, "And the cultivation level is not low."

He knelt down, bowed the water with his right hand, and then splashed it back with his palm. The splashed water easily passed through the fence and drifted to the depths of the cell.

"Is this door easy to remove?" Ye Yunzhou asked.

"It's not easy." Mu Linjiang murmured, "Let's see the situation first."

Su Li stared at the sticky darkness motionlessly, the echo of the splash was ticking, ethereal and strange, he swallowed his saliva, his breathing became short of breath, he repeatedly urged himself to move his eyes away, but he couldn't move as if he was attracted by the darkness.

"Master Su?" Seeing that the situation was wrong, Ye Yunzhou called out to him.

Su Li's face was pale and sweating coldly, and when Ye Yunzhou called him back to his senses, he fell to the ground, patted his chest like a survivor and said, "There seems to be something in the prison, I can't stare at it... I almost couldn't wake up. "

"Then why am I fine?" Ye Yunzhou was puzzled, "Is there anything?"

"I don't feel any danger." Mu Linjiang also stared at the prison waiting for the splash he let out to return, both of them were safe and sound, Su Li was even more depressed, and couldn't help wondering if he was too nervous.

At this moment, a burst of laughter suddenly resounded in the prison, the sound was like a torrent of thunder, stirring up layers of waves on the surface of the water.

"Young ants, you can't even detect the nightmare formation in the prison, and you dare to play tricks in front of the master!"

Mu Linjiang's pulsating water splash was disintegrated by the disdainful laughter. He raised his eyebrows a little, slightly surprised, but then he snorted coldly, poured a drop of blood into the water, and forced the splash back together.

"The mere nightmare array is nothing to worry about." Mu Linjiang raised his voice provocatively, "Your Excellency is so arrogant, why don't you leave this prison and show up for a while."

Ye Yunzhou saw the drifting water splash over the fence, stop at the edge of the pool, and quietly condense into a water mirror, reflecting a blurred shadow.

The shadow was like a stone slab above the water, on which sat a tall man cross-legged, with one hand resting on his lap, and the other reaching out to the water.

"Hmph, if I can go out, I will first cut you bastards and use your heads as spittoons!" The owner of the voice cursed angrily, "Fast, let go, there is no need to do unnecessary temptations , if you are scared to pee your pants after staying for a long time, I will not be responsible for taking care of the birds for you."

Ye Yunzhou opened his mouth. He considered himself a decent person, and he couldn't fight with others with foul language.

Mu Linjiang was stunned. He couldn't remember how long he hadn't heard such vulgar words. After a moment of silence, his face turned blue and then pale, and the tip of the umbrella slammed on the fence, and the crisp clanging sound swayed repeatedly. Killing intent was cold and not angry but smiled instead: "Very good, if you dare not repeat these words in front of me, I will gouge out your eyes and cut off your tongue, and let you know the price of having eyes but no words!"

"Ha, I'm so scared!" The man spat, "Not only will I repeat it, but I will also scold you with two hundred new tricks. When I scare people, your ancestors still drink milk."

Ye Yunzhou didn't want to persuade Mu Linjiang, because he was also very angry, but he was somewhat calmer than Mu Linjiang, thinking about the "excessive temptation" that the only man can hear. Could it be that someone came over and had contact with him before? , or what transaction?

Su Li took a few more glances before the water mirror disappeared, and was forced to take a few steps back by the piercing murderous aura around Mu Linjiang. He walked around to Ye Yunzhou and whispered, "I think he looks familiar."

"Could it be someone from your Su family?" Ye Yunzhou smiled, "Your family has offended the wrong person."

"No." Su Li hurriedly dismissed it, "He seems to be the Lord of Lingya City, it's strange, maybe I'm wrong."

While the two of them were talking, a red flame was burning on the tip of Mu Linjiang's umbrella. The fire licked the talisman on the door, and a puff of smoke rose from the talisman. After resisting for a while, it was still distorted and turned into flying dust , Immediately afterwards, Mu Linjiang turned the umbrella and swung it down obliquely. A flash of light pierced the air from the tip of the umbrella, and he snapped the lock of the mechanism neatly.

Ye Yunzhou first tested the temperature of the water, and his hands were frozen. He thought that Mu Linjiang was really angry. He took out all the cards on the umbrella that he didn't plan to use and opened the door. He would rather teach others to wet his clothes in the water. He said softly He said to Su Li: "Follow me, don't stare at one place, it's more distracting."

About to hear the movement, the man suddenly closed his mouth, and the sound of some chains shaking came out.

Holding an umbrella, Mu Linjiang approached the stone platform in the center of the water prison step by step. There were two wrist-thick iron chains extending from the ceiling of the cave, with two sharp hooks at the ends, passing through the man standing on the stone platform stained with blood. the scapula.

"Oh? I have some skills, but I can actually open the prison door." The man was a little surprised, "It's no good to be impulsive, have you thought about how to explain it? Now plunge into the water to cool down your brain, maybe it will be beautiful for you." Say a few words."

Mu Linjiang walked to the stone slab without saying a word, jumped up and stood up, the man snorted, and kicked Mu Linjiang with his short legs, Mu Linjiang put his umbrella on the ground to block the man The kick came, but the tiger's mouth was numb from the shock.

The man couldn't take a single blow, so he twisted his waist and turned over in the air with one hand on the ground, and pulled his other leg towards Mu Linjiang's neck. Mu Linjiang was standing on the edge of the stone platform and had nowhere to hide, so he had to hold the umbrella handle, and instantly appeared behind the man.

"When you come to this kind of place, you still open an umbrella. If you are a young lady, you should go home and let someone serve you! Dodge and dodge, do you dare to fight with me?" The umbrella in Mu Linjiang's hand felt familiar.

"It's boring to fight a mage." Ye Yunzhou jumped onto the stone platform from a concealed angle, stabbed the man's back with a sword, "I'll fight with you."

The man tilted his head slightly, and a bloodstain was drawn on his cheek by the sword wind: "Do you have any interest in using a weapon to attack an unarmed patient?"

"Of course it's your own fault for not carrying a weapon. Why do others have weapons? You should reflect on yourself and don't shirk your responsibility." Ye Yunzhou walked to the center of the stone platform with a sword flower on his arm.

"Damn you..." The man frowned, and was about to clench his fists and rush towards Ye Yunzhou, when he saw Mu Linjiang standing behind him undoing the gauze on his face layer by layer.

"What's the matter, do you want to cry for Grandpa?" The man narrowed his eyes cautiously.

Ye Yunzhou aimed at Mu Linjiang, stretched out his hand to do what you asked for first, and stepped back a few steps. Su Li was trudging in from the water, carrying a fire bag to take a picture on the stone platform. Ye Yunzhou reached out to take the fire bag, and when he lifted it The flickering light just enveloped the entire stone platform.

When he saw the man's face clearly, Su Li said in shock: "It's really City Lord Lingya!"

Mu Linjiang threw the gauze on the ground, his bright purple eyes shone like bright crystals under the halo of light, the incomparable beauty was enough to attract anyone's gaze and intoxication, and then fell into a vortex of fear and couldn't break free.

Huo Fengting, the city lord of Lingya in Su Li's mouth, also inevitably fell into the trap of the dark pupil, his expression became dazed, and then gradually horrified, Mu Linjiang lost half of his anger when he saw his face clearly, at this time he sneered coldly Said: "Continue to scold, scold enough [-] words, I will cut off your tongue."

Huo Fengting suddenly raised his hand, and slapped the wound on his shoulder where the iron hook pierced through. He regained his composure and gasped for breath, and said with a smile: "My God, why is it you! What did I scold? I said If I can go out, I will give my brother a big hug first!"

"Well, there are still 190 eight sentences left." Mu Linjiang flicked his umbrella to count.

"Haha, we are old friends, don't be so fussy, we haven't seen each other for hundreds of years, let's go with the wind." Huo Fengting took a few steps forward cheekily, "Speaking of which, why did you come here? , From what you guys think, you probably didn’t come here to save me on purpose, is there a way for you to leave? Take your brothers with you.”

"Continue." Mu Linjiang was unmoved.

Ye Yunzhou blatantly looked at the unreliable Lingya City Lord in front of him. He described it as resolute and rebellious, with his forehead and hair curled up on the top of his head, which was quite casually turned upside down. one frame.

In the original book, such a rough and unruly swordsman could be related to the weak little flower protagonist Shou, Ye Yunzhou is a bit unimaginable now.

"Your Excellency is Huo Fengting, the lord of Lingya City?" Ye Yunzhou interrupted and asked.

"You two friends have vision." Huo Fengting glanced at Su Li who had climbed up, and his eyes fell on Ye Yunzhou, "Isn't Palace Master Mu guarded by a sword repairer? Why did you recruit another young man? The original one ran away ?”

Mu Linjiang's face darkened again, and Ye Yunzhou smiled and said: "My palace family has a great career, so it's normal to recruit more people, but how did the city lord fall into such a field, we call you the city lord here, thousands of people outside Who is the city lord calling thousands of words?"

Huo Fengting slumped his shoulders and sighed vicissitudes of life, and sat down on the spot: "I don't like young people with sharp teeth, they will always poke people's sore spots."

"It's best if you don't like it." Ye Yunzhou happily let out a sigh of relief.

"It's still admirable for the resolute and resolute conduct of the palace chief." Huo Fengting said, "I still can't forget the heroic posture when I lifted the Thunder Mountain... I remember it vividly? In short, you can just understand it, I have no culture."

Ye Yunzhou: "..." Your idea is very dangerous.

Mu Linjiang urged displeasedly: "Stop talking nonsense, and explain the story clearly before I get impatient."

"Then I'll make a long story short." Huo Fengting took a deep breath, "You should have heard that I have a younger brother. He locked me up while I was injured and replaced him as the city lord. He also forced the third brother away and threatened me with the third brother. He often sent people to come here. Asked me all kinds of information, I thought you were sent by him, so you scolded me, anyway, I'm very sorry, please forgive me!"

Mu Linjiang was finally satisfied seeing his dejected appearance, the corners of his mouth moved, he bent down and covered his face with his sleeves, and spat out blood.

The author has something to say: Mr. Ye: The most important thing for a cultivator is face and temperament! (The righteous and confident city lord: spits out lotus flowers, is slovenly, admits mistakes in a second, is uneducated, doesn't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting...
