Big brother, he is frail

Youyun Forest is not within the Lingyun Sect, but a forest that extends infinitely to the east near the Lingyun Sect, and is under the jurisdiction of the Lingyun Sect.

Because the trees are growing vigorously, covering the sky and blocking out the sun, little sunlight seeps in. Every morning, there is a thick fog of unknown origin that wraps the entire forest, making it even more secluded, hence the name.

The Youyun forest is so vast that even if you stand on the peak of Lingyun Mountain, you can't see the side.

Lu Xinglan wanted to take Shen Xizhou to Youyun Forest to find the sword that belonged to him.

In the original book, Shen Xizhou got the sword two months ago.But now, due to various reasons, Shen Xizhou has not been able to get the sword.

Lu Xinglan didn't even know if the sword was still there at this time, it would be terrible if someone took it first.

Two months is a long time, and there will inevitably be unexpected situations.

So now that both of them have free time, Lu Xinglan felt that he should check it out as soon as possible.

However, since the Tianyi Tiger went berserk two months ago, the Lingyun Sect had issued a prohibition notice, and Youyun Forest was in a semi-closed state at this time.When you come to the entrance of Youyun Forest, you will be blocked by an enchantment, preventing you from taking another step forward.

If you try to force your way in, the alarm device will be triggered, and the Lingyun Sect will immediately send people down the mountain to investigate.

But since it is in a semi-closed state, it means that there are other ways to get in.It's just more troublesome.

Lu Xinglan took out a talisman paper and handed it to Shen Xizhou.

"This is a boundary-breaking talisman, which can be used to open a small-scale barrier. But we need to find the weakest part of the barrier first, so that it is not easy to be discovered when we act."

Shen Xizhou nodded, put the talisman into the Qiankun bag, and asked: "But senior brother, do you have to go in?"

Lu Xinglan replied firmly: "We must go in."

It's just that he was a little hesitant when he heard Shen Xizhou's tone, could it be that he had shadowed You Yunlin because of the Sky Winged Tiger?

Just as Lu Xinglan wanted to comfort him, Shen Xizhou said: "Congru No. 13 stipulates that disciples are not allowed to enter the forbidden area without permission. Youyun Forest is now considered a forbidden area. Senior brother, if we are discovered, The punishment you have to copy this time is more than a thousand copies."

"...Don't worry, I won't be discovered." Lu Xinglan found that Shen Xizhou was becoming less and less conscious of a junior in front of him.

As a well-behaved junior, shouldn't he listen to the elder brother!Why do you keep challenging the dignity of the elder brother again and again! ?

It was still early in the morning, and there was a faint mist flowing in the air where the two were.Looking deeper into the Youyun Forest, it was white and barking, and I couldn't see anything.

The main reason is that this fog can be used as a cover to reduce the possibility of them being discovered.Otherwise, Lu Xinglan wouldn't want to hang out in such a low visibility place, and it wouldn't be safe.

After walking around the barrier for a short distance, Lu Xinglan found a loophole and signaled Shen Xizhou to come over quickly.

Shen Xizhou covered the hole with the talisman paper, and injected aura into it.The aura diffused along the runes on the talisman paper little by little, and finally lit up the entire rune.

The talisman paper gradually became transparent and merged into the barrier.

And at the corresponding position, a gap splits from it, just the size that a person can enter.

"Brother, you go in first."

After Lu Xinglan went in, Shen Xizhou checked the surrounding area to make sure that no one had spotted them, so he followed them in.

There is a lot of fog, and it becomes more and more like this as you go deeper. It makes people suspicious, what is the origin of this weird fog?

Fearing that the two would get separated, Lu Xinglan took out a thin thread and threw it to Shen Xizhou: "Hurry up, don't get separated."

Lu Xinglan grabbed one end of the thread and walked in front.Shen Xizhou followed closely behind, but the dense fog engulfed Lu Xinglan's back, only a line extending from the white fog was sure that Lu Xinglan was still there, but Shen Xizhou was afraid that the other end of the line would be there at some point. It will fall down, and the person in front will suddenly disappear.

The thread suddenly straightened, and Shen Xizhou's heart tightened.

"Xizhou, you are walking too slowly, what are you thinking?"

It turned out that it was Lu Xinglan who urged him to leave quickly.

"Eldest brother," Shen Xizhou strode forward a few steps, stood side by side with Lu Xinglan, and reached out to hold Lu Xinglan's wrist, "It's safer this way."

Lu Xinglan's wrist was even slender than Shen Xizhou imagined, as if it would break if he folded it, even if he held it in his hand, he didn't dare to use too much force.

Lu Xinglan's eyes widened.

"Xi Zhou, are you afraid?"

Shen Xizhou: ...he is not, he does not.

"It's okay, I'm afraid there's something I'm afraid to admit, I have senior brother to protect you." Lu Xinglan looked calm, and he didn't know where his confidence came from.

But in fact, Lu Xinglan thought this way in his heart: Shit, didn't he just grab his wrist, why is his heart beating so fast! ?Calm down.

Thinking about each other's thoughts, we have already walked a long way without knowing it.Strangely, the thick fog showed no sign of subsiding.If it is normal, it is already the time when the sun rises and the fog clears.

Fortunately, Lu Xinglan had a general direction in his mind, and he was sure that they were getting closer to that cave.

But near the cave, there must be a Sky Winged Tiger guarding it.The biggest problem is how to enter the cave without the Sky Winged Tiger noticing.As long as you go in and get the secret treasure, the Sky Winged Tiger will surrender to the owner and become the spirit beast of Shen Xizhou.

Lu Xinglan stopped suddenly.

"Xizhou, didn't I say before that there is a sword that suits you best?"

"Yes. Did we come here to find that sword?"

Lu Xinglan nodded: "Yes, that sword is not far ahead."

"How did senior brother know?" And so clearly?

"That... Master told me." Lu Xinglan quickly thought of an excuse, "That day, the winged tiger was the spirit beast that guarded the secret treasure, so even if it hurt the disciple, the master didn't get rid of it."

"I see."

Lu Xinglan said again: "I know that sword is more suitable for you, so I came here to look for it. Don't you just need a sword?"

"Okay." Shen Xizhou's stern face concealed a touch of determination.If there is a secret treasure here, he is also interested in making a breakthrough.

He waved his hand in the air, and the cool mist hit his hand, and it wouldn't disperse no matter what.But looking at the thick fog, a slight smile appeared on Lu Xinglan's face.

Although the mist is very strange, it can be used as a barrier to escape the Sky Winged Tiger's sight.

However, a high-level spirit beast like the Tianyi Tiger has a very good nose, and Lu Xinglan doesn't know how far away it can smell the intruder.

Continue to move forward, a little closer to the deepest part of Youyun Forest, passing the area attacked by the Sky Winged Tiger.The broken trees miraculously recovered and regrowth, and only a few pits remained in the ground to prove that there had been a fierce battle here.

Touching the scene, Lu Xinglan remembered the fear of being dominated by the Tianyi Tiger that day, and his bones were still aching.

Not only the pain of being beaten, but also the feeling of being completely suppressed, Lu Xinglan didn't want to do it again.

Coming to the place where he fought the Skywing Tiger, it means that he is not far from the cave where the secret treasure is hidden.

Advance cautiously, step lightly, without making a sound.The cave was already faintly visible, even though it was tightly covered by lush vegetation, Lu Xinglan still spotted it at first sight.

But they were all so close, why didn't Mao even see a single hair of the Sky Winged Tiger?

Shen Xizhou suddenly grabbed Lu Xinglan, preventing him from going any further: "It smells like blood."

Lu Xinglan sniffed lightly, but didn't smell it.He is not sensitive to the smell of blood or anything.

"Go and have a look." Lu Xinglan frowned, planning to go over there to check.How did it feel like they had another accident.

Following the smell, after walking a few meters, the soles of my feet slapped, as if I stepped on some puddle.Lu Xinglan lowered his head, his expression changed drastically, it turned out that what he stepped on was not a puddle, but a puddle of blood!

"Hey~"

A thin groan came from the right side, weakly.

Lu Xinglan took a closer look, and saw a kitten lying on the ground. It was supposed to be white all over, but most of its hair was stained red with blood. It was dying like gossamer.

Different from ordinary kittens, it has a pair of fluffy little wings on its back, which hang softly on both sides of its body.If it is opened, it must be very beautiful.

This kitten is the Sky Winged Tiger.In the original book, after the Tianyi Tiger became Shen Xizhou's spirit beast, it turned into a small form to follow Shen Xizhou's side conveniently.

In addition to the Tianyi Tiger's willingness to become a small form, there is another situation, that is, life is in danger.

Lu Xinglan quickly picked up Tianyihu, and curled up in his arms, feeling very pitiful.Lu Xinglan had completely forgotten the fact that he was beaten up by the Tianyi Tiger before.

"If you don't save it, it will die." Lu Xinglan said seriously, "I want to go back to the elixir garden as soon as possible."

However, the Tianyi Tiger was severely injured, indicating that someone had already entered the cave first, and the sword might be taken away in advance.But judging by the speed at which the Sky Winged Tiger lost its spirit energy, it would lose its breath in less than half an hour.

"Then go back." To Shen Xizhou, the sword that he had never heard of was insignificant to him, and it didn't matter whether he entered the cave or not.

But... Shen Xizhou didn't know how important that sword was to him.

Lu Xinglan's heart wavered.

At this moment, the Sky Winged Tiger in its arms moved, stretched out its claws, and pointed tremblingly in the direction of the cave.

It doesn't want to let them go.

This is the treasure left by the master, it is to be left to his inheritors, and it cannot be taken by bad guys.

With a flash of inspiration, Lu Xinglan said in surprise: "Let's go in quickly and get the sword first. After you get the sword, you can sign a contract with the Sky Winged Tiger. You can share the spirit energy with it, so that it can save its life." .”

As for why the contract cannot be concluded now, it is because of the rules set by the person who left this secret treasure.Only after becoming his inheritor can he obtain all his treasures, including the Sky Winged Tiger.

Lu Xinglan rubbed the little furry head of the Sky Winged Tiger, and the latter's tiny ears moved.

"Hold on! Xizhou, let's go in."

The two looked at each other, and both saw the firmness in the other's eyes.

Shen Xizhou said: "Yes."

Pushing aside the veiled grass and entering the seemingly ordinary cave, the backs of the two gradually disappeared into the darkness.
