Wind Ying Lou

Now that she understood what I meant, I also changed the subject: "You look beautiful when you smile like this." But she suddenly darkened her face and muttered something in a low voice, which sounded vaguely like I said, "I'm not like her." ", I guess the "she" in her mouth should refer to Lan Kui.

I looked at the road ahead and asked casually, "What are you muttering about?"

Hongkui sneered and said, "I said you put so much effort into protecting me and that Tang Xuejian. Of course I understand, but that stupid guy may not accept your invitation. You're asking for perfection." Thoughts, I'm afraid it will be in vain."

I gave her a meaningful look: "At least you understand, then my thoughts are not in vain."

Hongkui snorted coldly and stopped talking.Sedum shouted from behind: "Slow down, you two! I can't keep up!"

I've been busy talking to Xiaokui for a long time, but I forgot that Sedum has just learned swordsmanship, and Xuejian is unavoidably afraid, she really shouldn't be flying so fast.I hurriedly slowed down, turned around and said with a smile: "Sorry, I'm used to flying by myself, I forgot that this is the first time for you two. How are you two? Just hold on a little longer, we'll be there soon."

The outline of Jiuding Mountain has faintly appeared in the clouds and mist.I heard Sedum shout happily: "I saw Jiuding Mountain! Xuejian, hold me tight! We are about to land!"

He was so loud, Hong Kui naturally heard it too, she just gave a disdainful "hum" and muttered "This idiot!" But she didn't look back.

As Xuejian said, Jiuding Mountain has nine peaks connected together, lined up, shaped like a dragon's ridge, and the top of the mountain is covered with white snow.There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that the main rudder of Thunderbolt Hall is on the middle peak of Jiuding Mountain, and we landed on the peak of this mountain.Surprisingly, the temperature at the top of the mountain is no different from that of the flat land, and it is not covered with ice and snow like the other eight peaks.

After we landed, Xiaokui still looked like a red-clothed and black-haired girl, and did not change back to the blue-clothed and blue-haired Lankui.Both Jingtian and Xuejian were taken aback, and Jingtian even exclaimed: "Ah! Why did your clothes change?" It seems that during the battle just now, they didn't notice that Xiaokui would change.

With one hand on her hips and one hand resting her chin, Hongkui twisted her body and said coquettishly to Sedum: "How is it? Does it look good?"

Without waiting for Sedum to speak, Xue Jian said with a look of disdain: "Showing off!"

Hongkui glanced at Xue Jian with a half-smile: "It's better to sell what you have than what you don't have. You can sell what you have!"

Seeing that we were about to watch the battle again, I hurriedly pointed to the front and said, "Look quickly! There are some private houses and small stalls over there. It seems that the top of the mountain is a small town. Let's go in and have a look. The main rudder of the Thunderbolt Hall may be inside. "

Jing Tian took the lead to walk towards the town, looking anxious: "Yingying is right, let's go in and have a look!" Xuejian and Xiaokui glared at each other, and hurriedly followed.Xuejian even pulled me away: "Yingying, let's go." She looked isolated on Xiaokui.Jingtian didn't want the two girls to quarrel and put herself in the middle of a dilemma, but I didn't want to be that sandwich either, so I could only smile wryly in my heart.She looked at Hongkui apologetically, she was very disdainful of Xuejian's little trick, she smiled arrogantly, didn't say anything, only quickened her pace to chase after Sedum.

Since this small town is located on the top of Jiuding Mountain, and it is also the place where the headquarter of Thunderbolt Hall is rumored to be located, I thought that although it might not be as prosperous as Yuzhou City, it should be a peaceful and serene place like a paradise. After walking into the small town, I realized that it was in dilapidated condition.Most of the houses are only ruins, and most of the people walking on the street are listless and sad.Looking closely, there are no flowers and plants in the town, and the trees are only bare branches. There are only some heat-resistant and drought-resistant shrubs that do not need to be taken care of by the roadside houses.Although there are some farmlands on the edge of the town, most of them are barren, with only some withered and yellow weeds left.The whole town was lifeless and lifeless.

The four of us walked and asked all the way, but the residents shook their heads like rattles when they heard the word "Thunderbolt", and they refused to say a word to us, and some people ran away immediately when we asked about Thunderbolt. Without a trace, as if we were the plague gods.After going around like this, apart from knowing that this is Deyang, I didn't get much information about Thunderbolt Hall, let alone find out where the main rudder is.We are inevitably a little discouraged.

Xuejian frowned tightly: "I think those people must know about the chief rudder of the Thunderbolt Hall, but they just dare not say it! Damn it!"

I nodded: "Thunderbolt Hall has been gaining prestige for a long time, and there is another incident of demonizing disciples. I think these residents must be frightened by them. Have you noticed that there are not many young and middle-aged men here, most of them are young men?" Old and weak, women and children."

Hongkui sneered and said: "It goes without saying, it must have been captured by the Thunderbolt Hall and turned into a monster. Didn't a little girl say just now that an old Taoist priest came to the Thunderbolt Hall and would turn people into monsters."

Jing Tian hesitated for a moment: "Why don't the four of us go for a walk separately? Let's go separately to inquire, maybe we can find out something."

I think it's a good idea. If we act alone, even if we want to eavesdrop on others, it's more convenient for one person than four people, so I agreed: "I agree. The four of us will each go in one direction, and the time limit for a stick of incense is limited." , I will gather here later. Also, I think children are far better at talking than adults, and we can focus on these children." We discussed the direction again, and then walked away.I went east, Hongkui went to the north, Xuejian went to the south, and Sedum went to the west.

There are only a few small stalls on the east side of the town. I bought some biscuits from a biscuit stall. Everyone hasn’t eaten much yet, so they must be hungry.This sesame seed seller is eloquent and eloquent. Just now we also asked him how to get to the main rudder of the Thunderbolt Hall. When he heard that he was asking about "Thunderbolt Hall", he immediately drove us away.But seeing how he can chat with everyone passing by, I'm sure he definitely knows about the Thunderbolt Hall, but he doesn't dare to tell us strangers.I sat on a small dirt slope some distance away from him and pretended to wait for someone, but in fact I raised my ears to eavesdrop on him talking to others.I don’t know if it’s because his knowledge is really limited, or he didn’t dare to say more, but he said so many things to others, but they all have one meaning: “Deyang Town was originally a good place to live, but Thunderbolt Hall has been haunted by monsters recently, and there are still people everywhere.” Arresting people and asking residents to force them to collect all kinds of money makes life difficult for everyone.”But he talked about a Begonia flower demon with an uncle, which aroused my interest.There is an old man Yuan in the south of Deyang Town. All the flowers planted in his family died this year. Only the crabapple tree in the yard not only bloomed vigorously, but also saw that it was already autumn, and the flowers had not faded yet.

Begonias usually bloom at the end of spring, and all wither in summer. The begonias of the old man Yuan's family have bloomed continuously for half a year, which is really weird.Moreover, all the other flowers planted in his family died. Could it be that the crabapple became a spirit and absorbed the essence of other plants?If this is the case, it will be very bad!The crabapple cultivates by absorbing the essence of other beings, and it has sucked up the essence of other plants, so the next step is to attack people?No, I have to go and have a look right away!

Uncle Yuan’s house is on the south side of the town. I walked south for a short time before I saw the deep and shallow pink of the tree.The flowers bloom so enchantingly and beautifully, but they are very shocking in my eyes. It is clearly a sign that their youth has passed away and their vitality is about to expire.I walked closer quickly, only to find a familiar figure standing under the crabapple tree. "See you in the snow?" I greeted her.

She just looked at the crabapple tree without turning her head. She just waved her hand to me and said in a low voice, "Look at how beautiful this flower is, I don't want to move my eyes away when I look at it."

I found that Xuejian's situation was very wrong. Her eyes seemed to be glued to the crabapple tree. She just stared at it without blinking. She quickly reached out and shook my hand in front of her eyes. She knocked my hand off impatiently. , but his eyes kept falling on that tree, unwilling to move away for half a minute.

At this moment, the door of the house next to the tree opened suddenly, and Sedum walked out from inside: "Yingying? Xue Jian? Why are you two here?"

I shook Xuejian's shoulder vigorously and said loudly: "This flower blooms strangely, Xuejian seems to be fascinated by it. Tang! Xue! See! Look at me! Don't look at that flower again!" Sedum heard me like this Said that he was also busy and came up to help me to see the snow.

Xue Jian turned away from us, but her eyes still did not leave the crabapple tree, she whispered: "Shh... don't talk... I can hear the voice in her heart, it's very sad..."

Before Xuejian finished speaking, a little girl in a pink dress and delicate face slowly appeared in front of the Begonia tree. Filled with sadness, he choked up and said, "Help me..."

Jing Tian exclaimed: "You are the Begonia Flower Essence?! Do you want us to intercede for you and ask Uncle Yuan not to cut you off?"

Xue Jian wondered: "The owner of this crabapple tree wants to cut down the tree?"

Jing Tian nodded, and pointed to the family he had just walked out of: "This tree was planted by old man Yuan. Old man Yuan's son and daughter-in-law passed away a long time ago, and only the old man and his little grandson Yuan Qin are left to depend on each other. The old man is a gardener, and he makes a living by growing and selling flowers. This year, all the flowers planted in the flower garden died, and only this crabapple bloomed until autumn. The old man was worried that the flower demon was causing trouble, so he wanted to cut down the tree. But Xiaoqin refused. , because this tree was planted by Xiaoqin's parents when he was full moon."

I asked the crabapple flower essence: "Old man Yuan's flowers are all dead. Is it because of you? But I think this crabapple flower has lost its momentum. Isn't it because you sucked the essence of those flowers and plants for your own cultivation?"

A string of tears welled up in the eyes, and Begonia Flower Essence sobbed: "Grandpa is terminally ill, but he can't die. After he dies, Xiaoqin has nothing to rely on... My own cultivation is limited, so I have no choice but to absorb everyone's energy to cross For grandpa, so...so everyone is dead, and I'm about to die too...but I still can't save grandpa...please help me, save grandpa..."

Xue Jian's eye circles were also red: "How can I help you?"
