Zongmen, No.18 Prison.

The white-haired old man closed Pei Zhen's golden light flyer and looked forward with his hands behind his back.The dark ground fissure lies between the two dark red cliffs. The uneven rocks seem to be intertwined. A suspended platform is built above the ground fissure. Several black-clothed men and civilian husbands stand on the platform. They are slowly descending into the ground following the platform. crack.

The peasants leaned on the railing and looked at the unfathomable crack in the ground, trembling.One was dizzy, his feet wobbled, and he almost fell.A strong hand grabbed the back of his neck, the husband looked back and saw a young man with a stern face.His eyes were a rare iron gray, like the rust on a scabbard, reminiscent of a hunting hawk when staring at people.

"Stand still." He withdrew his hand, raised two fingers, and the fingertips shimmered. At the same time, the heart lock pinned to his chest shone brightly.He whispered, "Master, let's go down."

In the distance, the heart-link lock in the hands of the white-haired old man sensed light. This is a magic weapon that can communicate thousands of miles. It is paired one by one. Every son-in-law and civilian husband have it on their bodies to connect them to the same sect.The white-haired old man said in a deep voice: "Be careful in everything, and remember not to go deep. Your purpose is to find the octagonal mirror left by Sect Master Yu's team. According to the records, Sect Master Yu's team left us four bronze mirrors. After going down the fourth side and disappearing, the last remaining place may be dangerous, so you only need to recover the first three sides. After entering the crack, walk north for a day, and you will find the first bronze mirror at the end of the cliff."

"clear."

The platform completely sank into darkness, and the disciples of the sect who hovered above the ground crack watched them disappear into the darkness.

"Revisiting the ghost country of Huangquan, you should have discussed this matter with us carefully before making a decision." The man in black robe beside the old man spoke up. He is also an old man with a dignified appearance, and his words sound like thunder, " The cause of Yu Lianhai's death is unknown, and entering the Ghost Kingdom at this time is dangerous and unpredictable."

"It's too late, Mr. Mu." Jiang Ruoxu sighed, "The crack in the ground has expanded by more than a foot, and the ghost realms in various places have changed. A Kunshan female ghost who has been dead for only a few years has the way to end the ghost realm. Yu Lianhai from the ghost of Huangquan The country left and appeared in the Yu family. All these unusual signs have been revealed in various places, and it is only a matter of time before the evil spirits attack. The largest ghost domain in the world is the ghost country of Huangquan, and hundreds of immortal families are eyeing the ghost country. Even those little-known small clans frequently post and kowtow to the mountain gate. I heard that there are people who offer a lot of money to buy information about the ghost country. Even if it is an unproven rumor, he will reward you with a thousand gold. All the disciples I sent away never returned, and I only learned the name of that person from a heart chain with remaining spiritual power."

"Oh? There is such a vicious person?" the black-robed man asked, "What's his name?"

"It's more of a title than a name." Jiang Ruoxu said, "They call him 'Boss'. A group of desperadoes are recruited under his banner, and even ghosts obey his orders. A year ago, Hui The lord of the Liu family in the county was killed, his head was hung on the lintel, and his eyes were gouged out. He was only found by early morning hawkers the next morning. Three days later, the storyteller in the tea house in Hui County received a letter from the boss, which contained Master Liu's missing eyeball.

A month ago, the Yuan family's 200-year-old Wanren Sutra Tower was caught in a fire for no reason. All the scriptures were destroyed, and more than [-] children were seriously injured.On the same day, the "boss" declared black and white, and he did this matter. "

"Arrogant junior, so bold." The man in black said with hatred.

"It's not enough," Jiang Ruoxu squinted his eyes and sighed, "someone saw him enter and leave the ghost domain entrenched by evil spirits, like entering no man's land. He is a person who walks with ghosts and ghosts. They are declaring war on us, beware of the fairy gate Repeat the mistakes of your Mu family. So we must be one step ahead to find out the truth of the ghost kingdom. Legend has it that there is the mystery of life and death, and we may find a way to save these evil spirits. If you do not agree with my decision, why let Your grandson took the risk?"

The black-robed old man laughed a few times, and said: "Zhishen is too young, he needs a few achievements to secure the position of the Mu family's lord. I allow you to let him lead the team into the ghost country of Huangquan, but the time for him to enter is absolutely Not more than three days. At this time after three days, you must call him back."

"Don't worry too much, Zhishen only takes the section of the road that Yu Lianhai and Xie Cenguan have already explored. At that time, someone will take Zhishen's place and go deeper into the ghost country." Jiang Ruoxu stroked his beard and smiled lightly.

"Oh?"

"A young man named Qin Qiuming possesses a unique innate fire technique." Jiang Ruoxu said.

"I know this child," the black-robed old man nodded knowingly, "he has become very famous recently. I heard that he defeated the Kunshan female ghost, and he coveted Xie's family to find Weibo. The matter has already caused a lot of trouble in Jiangzuo. He is indeed a good choice. He was born in a low-ranking poor family and has no family reputation to rely on. Even if he stays in the ghost country forever, no one will feel sorry. As long as he sends back the news of the ghost country, It is worthwhile to re-enter the Earth Fissure this time. However, this son is arrogant, how do you know that he will obediently enter this dangerous place?"

Jiang Ruoxu smiled, "Xun Wei got a strange disease and couldn't wake up from sleep. The ghost country of Huangquan is an unpredictable place. Legend has it that there are countless elixir, and there is even a way to bring the dead back to life."

"It turns out that the hero is saddened by the Beauty Pass." The black-robed old man shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity that such a talented child, even if he possesses innate fire skills, might not be able to survive that place, right? After all, even Yu Lianhai and Xie Cenguan All the characters are buried in it."

"It's too early to say this now, but I think that child will exceed our imagination." Jiang Ruoxu looked at the crack in the ground with long eyes, "Let me wait and see."

------------------------

Take a boat across the turbulent Lanjiang River to Yuzhou, then change carriages and horses, and walk all the way to the mountains.In midsummer in the south, thunderstorms break from time to time, the mountains are dense with fog, and the robes are damp. It seems that you can wring out water droplets when you take them off.Xie Xunwei didn't wake up along the way, Baili Jueming was burning with anxiety, frowning every day.Although he knows some medical skills, he is really not good at dealing with such difficult and miscellaneous diseases, so he can only pin his hopes on the sect.

The clouds and mist gradually dispersed, and the misty green hills could be vaguely seen in the distance, and countless houses and palaces were scattered.A few bells can be heard faintly, and the flying flowers are scattered into the melting dusk.Pei Zhen said, that is the sect.The chariots and horses boarded the Feixian Ladder, Baili Jueming felt strange, stood on the edge and looked down.This Feixian Ladder is actually a whole flat boulder, the bottom is engraved with golden light charms, which can be suspended in the air.The rocks move slowly and rise slowly, carrying everyone to climb the mountain.In the middle, I changed the Feixian Ladder twice, pierced through the clouds and through the fog, and finally entered the sect.

Entering the mountain gate and walking along the winding mountain road, all the disciples of the sect along the way stopped and stared at them.Baili Jueming put down the curtain of the car, patted Pei Zhen and said, "Your fairy sect has good rules now, and you know that my uncle is coming, so everyone pays attention here." He was very proud, folded his arms and looked around, "Just It's a pity that I'm here to seek medical treatment, otherwise it's okay to teach you a few tricks."

Pei Zhen smiled helplessly, "I'm afraid...that's not the case."

A piece of yellow paper flew towards the wind, and it was about to slap Baili Jueming on the face.Baili Jueming reached out to catch it, on it was a big head portrait of a handsome man, which took up half of the paper, and a few big characters were written on his forehead in thick cinnabar ink—a reward: the first beast of the immortal sect!Baili Jueming was surprised, "Hehe, who is so unlucky?"

Looking down, I saw "Qin Qiuming" followed closely behind.

Baili Jueming: "..."

He finally recognized it, it was himself.

Below is a detailed description of his gender, birthplace, date of birth, life story, from the Zongmen Dabi to sealing the female ghost in Kunshan, and then to the Yu Mansion to snatch the marriage... Wait, when did he snatch the marriage?Baili Jueming opened his eyes wide in disbelief.At the end, there was an annotation in small ink and pen, the handwriting was different, and it seemed that someone passing by added it——

"You son of a poor family, how dare you miss my goddess, bah!"

"Kill him, save sister Xunwei from the sea of ​​suffering!"

"Xun Wei is everyone's half-sister, how can he just sit back and watch this beast succeed in snatching her relative?"

"What is this?" Baili Jueming was shocked.

"A reward order!" Yuan Da appeared out of nowhere, hugging Baili Jueming's shoulders and said with a smile, "I wrote the paragraph about the female ghost in Kunshan, Brother Qin, see if I write you well, that's called a Majestic and majestic. I originally used a thousand words to describe your handsome appearance, but it was a pity that the reward group deleted it."

"Where the hell did you come from?" Baili Jueming patted his hand down.

"We are studying here. I heard that you are coming, and we have been waiting on the mountain road early in the morning." Yuan Er poked his head from the roof of the car, "Brother Qin, I really have you. I thought you must be in the Yu family. I've narrowly escaped death, but I didn't expect you to kidnap Sister Xunwei." Turning to see Pei Zhen, he immediately turned serious and respectfully called out, "Mr. Wan'an."

"The homework is over. I heard that you haven't mastered Yuan's golden method, so you need to practice hard." Pei Zhen said softly.

"Yes, yes, sir, don't worry." Yuan Er smiled and blinked at Baili Jueming, "Sister Xunwei is everyone's dream fairy, and before you, brother Yu is firmly seated as the number one in the fairy sect. "

Yu Fuchun, who was huddled in the corner, nodded in pain.

Yuan Er said outside the curtain: "Brother Qin, you are now the public enemy of the immortal sect, more hated than evil spirits. But we brothers are optimistic about you, you will definitely embrace a beautiful woman!"

"What is this all about!" Baili Jueming was about to collapse. He and Xunwei only had a relationship between a teacher and a student. To put it more, it was the friendship between a father and a daughter. In the end, it was misinterpreted by these guys like this. What if I really misunderstood Pei Zhen?He quickly explained to Pei Zhen: "Don't get me wrong, Xun Weiqing and I are innocent, we have nothing! I just treat her as my sister."

Pei Zhen smiled lightly, "It's okay, I didn't think much about it."

The carriages and horses stopped, and they opened the curtain to see that they had arrived at Pei Zhen's Huoshui Xiaozhu.The boy moved a low stool and helped Pei Zhen get out of the car.Baili Jueming turned down directly and went to the carriage behind to hug Xunwei.Opening the curtain, I saw Xie Xunwei leaning against the wooden wall with his eyes closed, and Yu Tingqiu sitting on the side with his arms folded.

"Why did you follow?" Baili Jueming was startled.

"Why can't I follow?" Yu Tingqiu jumped out of the car, quickly glanced at Pei Zhen over there, and said, "I'm worried about sister Xunwei, you're a big man, how can you take care of me? Don't move around all day, To ruin her reputation, I'll do it."

When it was the sun coming out from the west, she even called out for sister Xunwei.Baili Jueming knew that this guy was definitely going to pretend to be a sister in front of Pei Zhen, so that Pei Zhen thought she was kind-hearted.His grandma's, Pei Zhen was the man Baili Jueming had his eyes on, this damn girl would never want to snatch him away.But she was right, so many people have misunderstood his relationship with Xun Wei now, so it is necessary to avoid suspicion.Reluctantly let her take over Xunwei, this girl has great strength, holding Xunwei firmly, she went straight to the wing to resettle.

Yuan Da and Yuan Er helped to unload the luggage, Pei Zhen invited several elders of the sect for consultation, took turns to look at it, looked at the coating of eyes and tongue, but they all said that the disease was strange, unheard of, and unseen.Reluctantly opened a prescription for invigorating qi, and observed for a few days to see the effect.Baili Jueming sat by the bed and took a towel to wash her hands and face.The girl on the bed was thin and pale, without the bright smile of the past, like a delicate doll.He felt sad when he saw it, and bitterness filled his atrium.

Why can't I wake up?Baili Jueming couldn't figure it out, it was clear that the first day was fine, but why couldn't he get up the next day?He held Xie Xunwei's hand sadly, everyone was silent when they saw it, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy.

Yu Tingqiu nana said: "The surname is Qin, you want to open a little bit. Jiang Tianshi hasn't come to see him yet. When he finishes his work, he will definitely find a way to save Xie Xunwei."

Baili Jueming didn't reply, and his usually wild eyes became dull and dull.Everyone sighed, their faces full of frustration.It was useless to stay, they retreated one by one, leaving only Baili Jueming, Pei Zhen and the unconscious Xie Xunwei in the room.

"Young man isn't going to rest?" Pei Zhen said.

Baili Jueming didn't look back, and said calmly, "You guys eat, I'll sit here for a while."

"Young man should take good care of his body." Pei Zhen sat down beside him.

Baili Jueming shook his head with a gloomy expression, he is already dead, what is there to care about?At most it rots into mud.

The people around him were silent for a while, and said: "As far as I know, the young man and Mrs. Xunwei met for the first time in Kunshan, and the combined time is less than half a month. Only then did the young man say that he is not in love with Mrs. Xunwei ..." He looked over, and there seemed to be sparkles in his clear eyes, "Is she really so important to the young hero?"

"It's very important. You don't understand," Baili Jueming put his hands on his forehead, and said bitterly, "Only with Xunwei, can I taste something alive."

He thought of Xunwei who was memorizing scriptures, stepping on a horse, meditating, and practicing knives in front of him. He thought of him teaching her the fire technique. The girl was stupid, and she couldn't learn it.Wudu said that her five elements do not belong to fire, so she should be given the unique skill of Xie family.He had no choice but to learn from Xie's wind score, and then teach her.Just like that, he watched her go from chanting scriptures stutteringly to memorizing them backwards, watching her fingertips emit fine air currents, and the bitter wind blades formed around her body.He watched her grow up little by little, from a small carrot to a tall girl. Look at her current head, she stands out from the crowd of men.

He recalled, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, a gentle look that was rare for him.From Xunwei's six to 14 years old, he watched her grow up little by little, as if he had relived his own life.He came back after staying in the seal for eight years, she was already 22 years old, how quickly the days passed, his little apprentice was already a big girl who could marry.

Looking at the smile on his lips, Pei Zhen's eyes gradually became dark.

"Ms. Ruo Xunwei has turned into something you don't recognize," he asked, "Will you be disappointed?"

"Then what can I do?" Baili Jueming rubbed the center of his brows, "I used to think... ahem, I heard that this girl was clever when she was young, and everyone praised her for being smart and handsome. , but who knows that when he grows up, he becomes such a coward who can't support the wall. He can sprain his feet when he walks, and he can't wait to get into the ground when he meets a female ghost. Forget it, I don't want anything, as long as she is healthy and safe Just fine."

"Young hero is so kind to Mrs. Xunwei." Pei Zhen looked at him quietly.

"Of course, I'm just this one..." Baili Jueming bit his tongue and said, "Sister."

Pei Zhen lowered his eyebrows and smiled slightly, silent.Silence spread around them, and the two of them sat silently, like old friends for many years.At this moment, Baili Jueming suddenly felt that the man beside him was very similar to Xun Wei, who loved to laugh, was close and gentle to everyone, but when he was silent, he seemed to be far away from the sky, far away from others, even if he stretched out his hand, he couldn't grasp it. Hold his clothes.

"I suddenly thought of a way," he said.

"Ah?" Baili Jueming was taken aback.

"The way to make Mrs. Xunwei wake up." Pei Zhen said, "I suddenly remembered that there is a ten thousand-year Ganoderma lucidum in the warehouse. There will be immediate results."

How can there be such a miracle medicine?Baili Jueming was skeptical, "Really?"

"Of course," Pei Zhen tilted his head and smiled, "Young man must trust me. But there is only one Ganoderma lucidum, I have to go to the mountain to dig some more, and let the boy decoct the medicine tomorrow."

"I'll go with you." Baili Jueming volunteered.

"No need, I'm familiar with Tiandu Mountain. The young man will stay with Mrs. Xunwei. If she wakes up, she will definitely want to see the young man."

"Then... alright." Baili Jueming scratched his head.

I don't know if this kid is reliable, Wannian Ganoderma...is it really effective?Baili Jueming still didn't quite believe it.

"It's late at night, the young man should rest early." Pei Zhen lowered his eyes and bowed, then turned and walked towards the courtyard.

Baili Jueming watched him step out of the hood. He was an extremely gentle man, his clothes fluttered when he walked, but he liked to wear plain robes, as if he was about to step on Yun Dengxian and leave in the next moment.When he crossed the threshold, Baili Jueming called to stop him, bowed to him from a distance and said, "As long as the master cures Xun Wei, I will definitely respond to my request."

He looked back, and there was a kind of moving beauty in the movement of his eyes.

"Young Xia's words, I will remember."
