Sword Spirit became Bai Yueguang after going offline

Qi Ran's heart softened when he heard that, and he replied in a low voice: "Let's find a place to clean the wound first...you hold Zheyue first, and wait until you finish healing the wound."

Shangguan Ran coughed softly from behind: "Then it's hard work for Mr. Qi Ran? We wait for girls to avoid such wounds. Let's meet again at the old place tomorrow!"

Mo Qianxun felt that what Shangguan Ran said was very reasonable. Even if he pulled out to follow her away, Jue Chen and Bai Shu could not only avoid it but also help her out. There was no one there, and even Xiaobai was carried away by Baishu with a bewildered expression.

"..." Qi Ran felt his cheeks were on fire, but Gu Lingxiao still looked at him with a pale and weak face, his eyes were wet.

Qi Ran didn't dare to look at him again, walked over to hold his arm carefully, and asked softly: "Can we still go? Let's find a place on the edge to heal the wound, maybe there will be someone to meet Xiang Tianyou later people come over."

Following Qi Ran's movements, Gu Lingxiao put his arms around his shoulders, and then he fell half on top of him, and said in a hoarse voice: "Well, I can walk, but I don't have the strength anymore."

Qi Ran felt like he was being entangled by a large doll, the bloody smell from the tip of his nose was mixed with the cool and light fragrance from Gu Lingxiao's body, rushing towards his face, making him even more unable to think normally.

Come on... No strength, no strength.Qi Ran put his arm around Gu Lingxiao's narrow waist, and walked towards the edge of the platform in the air.

The night wind blew over the boy's long hair, and a few strands of hair swept across Gu Lingxiao's cheeks. Gu Lingxiao raised his eyes slightly, but saw Qi Ran's handsome face was outlined with a moving arc under the watery moonlight, and his brows frowned slightly. It seems that he is worried because of his injury.

Gu Lingxiao felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart, and even regretted that he hadn't been injured more seriously.

Qi Ran didn't know what the hell the man leaning on his shoulder was thinking. After arriving at the edge of the snow mountain, he carefully arranged the barrier, and then hurriedly helped Gu Lingxiao inside.

The quilt had already been laid on the brocade couch, and after Gu Lingxiao was placed at the head of the bed and sat down, he watched Qi Ran silently.

"Is Guiyuan Yangling Pill still available?" Qi Ran sat by the bed and asked him.

Gu Lingxiao nodded, then shifted his gaze to his chest.

"..." Qi Ran no longer wanted to think about whether Gu Lingxiao really didn't even have the strength to take out the storage bag.

Silently pursing his lips, Qi Ran raised his hand and carefully lifted the skirt of Gu Lingxiao's robe, and groped for the storage bag on his warm chest.

After finally pouring out the elixir and putting it in his palm, Qi Ran was in trouble again looking at Gu Lingxiao's bloodless lips.

"...Gu Lingxiao, are you really unable to move your hands?" Qi Ran asked hesitantly.

Gu Lingxiao replied softly: "They are all men, what are you afraid of?"

"?" Now they are all men?Since they are all men, can you feel at ease and be my good brother?Qi Ran was really speechless, but there was nothing he could do about the weak and helpless Gu Lingxiao in front of him, so he could only bite the bullet and pick up the elixir, and brought it to his lips, "Open your mouth."

Gu Lingxiao lowered his eyes slightly, his eyelashes covered his pupils with crow feathers, and he opened his lips and bit the elixir in.

That's right...a bite.

The fingertips were suddenly brushed by the soft lips, Qi Ran withdrew his hand immediately as if he was scalded, the whole person even stepped back, the heat rising from his cheeks seemed to be ripe, "Gu—you—— "

Gu Lingxiao looked up at him with an innocent expression, "What's wrong?"

Qi Ran was so ashamed that he wanted to leave this place immediately, but Gu Ling Xiao looked at him eagerly and said hoarsely: "Xiao Ran, my stomach hurts."

The moonlight is like silver, flowing down from above the enchantment, and falling on Gu Lingxiao's beautiful and cold face, dyeing his complexion paler, but because most of his foggy white Taoist robes were stained red by blood, the scarlet blood and moonlight Intertwined, strange and cold, fused into an indescribable magnificent picture - and the man who created this picture was actually acting childishly towards him.

Qi Ran thought sadly in his heart: Who can withstand this scene?

Qi Ran's voice became hoarse, "Okay, I'll clean up your wound."

Gu Lingxiao shut his mouth, leaned obediently on the head of the bed, watched Qi Ran raise his hand to untie his belt, and slowly opened the layers of outer robes, middle clothes, and inner clothes.

His wound was actually very deep, from the ribs all the way to the top of the hip bone, the flesh was rolled up, the blood soaked the three layers of clothes, and even a few bones could be faintly seen in the deepest part.

Qi Ran's heart trembled when he saw it, suppressed the tumbling emotions, first condensed his spiritual power on his fingertips, and forced out the remaining sword energy along the wound, and then immediately applied the healing medicine on Gu Lingxiao .

The whole process lasted about half an hour. After Qi Ran finished applying the medicine, he let out a sigh of relief. When he looked up, he found that Gu Lingxiao was still staring at him intently.

Qi Ran looked away, and asked in a low voice, "Does it still hurt?"

"...It doesn't hurt anymore." I always felt that Gu Lingxiao's tone seemed to be a little regretful.

Qi Ran stood up and took a few steps, turned his back to him and said, "Change your clothes."

A rustling sound came from behind, and soon, Gu Lingxiao said, "It's done."

Qi Ran turned his head and saw that Gu Lingxiao had newly changed into a light gray wide-sleeved cloud-pattern brocade robe, without the large blood color around his waist, and his temperament seemed to have returned to his bland and cold appearance.

Qi Ran breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, walked to Gu Lingxiao and sat down, "Are you still tired? Do you want to sleep?"

Gu Lingxiao looked at him, and said softly, "I'm not tired anymore, by the way... Zheyue, here you are."

He still remembered the Zheyue that Qi Ran was thinking about, took it out and handed it to him: "Look?"

Qi Ran took the heavy bronze long sword, closed his eyes, and raised his finger to brush the blade engraved with cloud patterns.

For a sword, there are about three ultimate forms.One is to give birth to a sword spirit like Tingxue, but the probability of birthing a sword spirit out of thin air is the same as the sudden enlightenment of a wild beast in a mountain forest, which is something that can be encountered but not sought after; The second soul of Jianxiu is also the condensation of his sword intent. If Jianxiu's body dies but the spirit sword is not destroyed, then his remnant soul can be attached to the spirit sword through the link with Jianxin, seeking reincarnation thirdly, like the Xuanyuan sword, it surpasses the world with its natural level, from the low-grade magic weapon to the ancient holy sword, this is the fate of a sword that has been doomed since its birth.

As soon as Qi Ran's finger touched Zheyue, it let out a clear clang, and joy was faintly visible as if meeting an old friend, but other than that, there was no other reaction.

Not only did not a trace of Shen Songyue's remnant soul remain in Zheyue, on the contrary, he was completely separated from the soul of the original owner.

It can be said that its state at this time is too good, neither the sword heart nor the spiritual power circulation has suffered the slightest damage, which shows that it has not experienced life and death struggles.At the same time, no trace of magic energy was found on it.

"I suspect—" After a while, Qi Ran finally expressed his guess to Gu Lingxiao, "My little brother may have survived by cheating."

"Cheat to death?"

"Well," Qi Ran nodded, and thought for a while, "Shen Songyue already had a lot of fame outside the world, and those who came to destroy the family could not let him go, but when I went to the Jianzong site, I found that If there are traces that he is still alive, then, how did he survive? Did he survive a life-and-death struggle, or did his body explode in a critical moment, and the Nascent Soul escaped from the house and was reborn? However, with Zheyue's current intact state , these two situations are naturally untenable, on the contrary, the only thing that can be worth the price of breaking his heart is to die, but to survive."

Gu Lingxiao already understood what Qi Ran meant: "You suspect that in order to survive the endless pursuit of those people, Shen Songyue chose to put herself to death to survive, broke her sword heart, abandoned her natal spirit sword, and pretended that she was dead Death—maybe more than that, afterward Xuanzhen took people to clean up the battlefield several times, if he simply faked his death, it is absolutely impossible to escape the follow-up cleaning.”

"Yes..." Qi Ran clenched his fists, "I suspect that he may have fallen into a demon by himself - I found the tomb he set up for us under the cold pool battlefield, but there was no trace of spiritual power left inside. , this kind of situation is absolutely impossible for any monk, unless he does it deliberately. And the only one who can combine the two things of deliberately covering up his breath and successfully escaping from hunting is... I have already fallen into a demon on my own, and it is possible to become a demon cultivator."

The magic gate and the righteous way have been at odds for hundreds of years.

Unlike orthodox monks who fight steadily step by step and turn the spiritual power of heaven and earth into their own use, the method of demonic cultivation often relies on plundering and devouring, not only by killing orthodox monks to absorb their cultivation, but also by killing mortals to achieve blood sacrifices, alchemy, etc. The law of the soul, although there are also those who practice qigong honestly, but they also follow the path of forcibly absorbing spiritual energy and acting recklessly.

Demon cultivators tend to enter the realm of cultivation several times faster than spiritual cultivators, but the heterogeneity of their demon energy makes it difficult for them to advance. Every time they break through, they are close to death, so they have been able to maintain a delicate relationship with the forces of the orthodox sect for many years. balance.

As for the Fallen Demon... Once you enter the Demonic Way, unless you make great efforts to correct it when the demonic energy is not deeply polluted, there is no way to turn back, and it is almost impossible to step into the Taoist territory in a righteous way in your life after that, which is equivalent to giving up. I have lost my original smooth path.

"Xiao Ran?" Gu Lingxiao called him suddenly.

Qi Ran came back to his senses and saw Gu Lingxiao opened his clenched fist little by little with his hand. It turned out that he pinched his palm out of blood in a trance.

"Gu Lingxiao," Qi Ran looked at him lowering his head and carefully smoothing the wound on his palm, and asked in a low voice, "the demon cultivator, the only sword cultivator who can do it in these years is the New Moon Demon Venerable, right?"

"Well," Gu Lingxiao replied softly, eyelashes drooping, Qi Ran couldn't see his eyes clearly, "It was the opponent who made you leave me more than five months ago."

Qi Ran was speechless for a moment.For him, that battle was actually very short and sudden. He was still sleeping in Gu Lingxiao's sea of ​​consciousness, unconscious throughout the whole process, but the tool man system went online and desperately woke him up in the middle, so he finally rushed to the new place. When the Moon Demon Lord gave Gu Lingxiao a fatal sword, he rushed out to block the blow, and thus ended his sword spirit mission.

His memories of that battle are only the murderous sword intent of the Demon Lord of the New Moon, and a shadowy figure wearing a mask that flashed by. He didn't even see the last side of Gu Lingxiao.

"Gu Lingxiao, I..." Qi Ran said a little awkwardly. He tried his best to explain the situation to Gu Lingxiao, but the system and missions were existences that he could not reveal - he tried it when he was just reborn, and he didn't even I couldn't even pronounce a single word, "I was..."

Gu Lingxiao took the initiative to intercept his words, "It's okay, it's over."

Qi Ran was startled, but seeing Gu Lingxiao tilted his head towards him, there seemed to be only a touch of gentleness in his eyes, "Xiao Ran, compared to this, when will you change your address to me?"

"Ah?" Qi Ran was stunned, "You mean, don't... call you by your first and last name?"

Gu Lingxiao nodded.

What is that called?True Monarch Ling Xiao? — Forget it, Gu Lingxiao definitely didn't want to hear this.

Then... Ling Xiao?Is it too intimate again?

Xiao Gu?Although Gu Lingxiao is technically a few years younger than him, but now his cultivation level is much higher than his own, it would be awkward to call him Xiao Gu.

Qi Ran struggled in his mind for a long time. After much deliberation, he still felt that it was a bit shameful to call him "Ling Xiao", but... Gu Lingxiao just took the initiative to bring up the matter of listening to Xue Jiansha that he couldn't explain, but now he keeps calling him "Ling Xiao". Not even the name, it's too much...

After a while, Qi Ran finally stammered: "Okay, okay... Ling Xiao."

Before Qi Ran could embarrass himself, he saw that Gu Lingxiao had a faint smile on his face, obviously very happy.

Qi Ran hastily looked away, trying to ignore his heartbeat, which has been getting more and more out of control for a while.

Wake up!This guy has nothing to do with being cute!

As to whether Shen Songyue is the Demon Lord of the New Moon, it is still in the guessing stage. Qi Ran is going to ask Bai Ye after the big competition is over to see if there are any further clues from him, and then make a decision What to do next.

In the early morning of the next day, Qi Ran and Gu Lingxiao rushed back to the usual meeting point during this period, and met Bai Shu and the others.

Bai Shu asked Zheyue to check it out, although he couldn't remember anything about his previous life, when he touched Zheyue, Zheyue faintly hummed happily.

Bai Shu smiled and sighed, and then said to everyone: "After the big competition is over, why don't you come to the Demon Realm to have a seat together, the qualifications for the Qingqiu Secret Realm should be sure, and you are also going to enter from the edge of the Demon Realm. Just on the way."

Although Mo Qianxun and Jue Chen didn't know why after reading Zhe Yue, they thought of inviting them, but Mo Qianxun had already traveled around, and Jue Chen loved "increasing knowledge", so he agreed.

Shangguan Ran glanced at Gu Lingxiao without a trace, and said with a smile: "The trip to the Qingqiu Secret Realm coincided with my mother's birthday, so I should not be able to participate, but if I am lucky enough to be able to enter the Demon Realm to gather with everyone, The little girl should be delighted."

From the end of the big competition to the opening of the secret realm, there are ten days for the players to rest and hurry. If they can catch a ride with Bai Shu and their monster clan, it is very suitable for gatherings or preparing for the battle .

The few people agreed on this, and soon, the remaining few days of the Grand Competition passed in a blink of an eye. In the early morning of the last day, three huge scrolls on the snow mountain platform rose into the sky, and the names on the top were frozen.

The most important Nascent Soul Rankings, top of the list: Gu Lingxiao.

In the foundation-building period ranking list, the first place: Qi Ran, and the second place: Bai Shu.

Mo Qianxun also got the sixth place in Golden Core Stage.Although Jue Chen was not inferior to Mo Qianxun in strength, but because he insisted on avoiding battles, his ranking was only outside the top 120, and Shangguan Ran ranked around [-] with his late Jindan cultivation, which was already a very ideal result.

After the ranking of the reels is fixed, the contestants can push the participating jade slips to return to the Lingjing Lake in Shanhetai.

The golden light transmitted one after another lit up, and on the Shanhetai, countless spectators looked forward to it, repeatedly scrutinizing the players who appeared one by one, looking for the figure they were looking forward to.

"Haven't you come out yet?" Lan Zhi tugged at Zhu Chen's sleeve beside her, "You have good eyes, take a quick look!"

Zhu Chen straightened up, her back tensed, "They probably won't pick any special timing—ah, it's coming out!"

As soon as the figures of those people appeared, they had already attracted everyone's attention.
