Seeing that Hua Shenchi's expression had eased, Yi Qingchen laughed, sat on the couch, and told him the business, "Today Yu Shuai will arrange a team of 20 people to explore the forest, and the guides will lead the way." It's Caizhu, I'm not at ease, I want to follow in and have a look."

Hua Shenchi's eyes darkened again, "Are you worried about her?"

Yi Qingchen knew that Hua Chenchi had misunderstood again, just patted his head, got up and walked to the curtain, probed out to have a look, and made sure no one was eavesdropping, then walked back to Hua Chenchi, whispered, "Actually I secretly went to the village last night..." Then I told Hua Shenchi everything I saw and heard last night, Hua Shenchi listened, pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Do you think she will do it?" what?"

Yi Qingchen is not sure, "I don't know the nature of this girl, nor do I know how closely the villagers are connected with the Marrow Sect, so there are too many variables, I can't guess for sure, I can only follow up and see. Know......"

Hua Shenchi nodded, and said lightly, "I'll go with you."

Yi Qingchen chuckled when he heard the words, "Where am I going now, can I not take you with me?"

Hua Shenchi calmed down when he heard the words, "It's so good..."

While waiting for lunch, Yi Qingchen confessed to Hua Shenchi the reason why he was alienated from him, and completely dispelled his idea of ​​going to death alone in the future. After all, if he was really by my side on the road to Huangquan, I wouldn't be lonely. Thinking about it this way, my heart felt a lot easier.

When Ruhui came to lift the curtain of the tent, it was time for lunch.

Hua Shenchi still had some medicines to be prepared, so Yi Qingchen did the cooking for him. Ruhui went out of the tent one after the other, and found that the queue for cooking was very long, so he had to follow Ruhui to the end of the queue. At the end, while waiting, he asked Ruhui, "Where's Shen Yi?"

Ruhui covered her mouth and snickered, "Senior sister doesn't dare to see you now, Young Master. She feels that she has made a big mistake by telling Senior Brother your secret, and she is hiding in the tent right now..."

Yi Qingchen only found it funny when he heard the words, "Why is she so afraid of me, and I don't know what to do."

Ruhui said, "You can't say that, 'If the young master is playing a big game of chess, my willfulness may make the previous layout of the young master in vain.' That's what the senior sister said, and she also said, 'But no matter what I think I think they missed it for more than ten years, and they can't miss it anymore. There are really not so many years to miss it in this life. If some people miss it, they really can't come back.' Actually, I think what the senior sister said is quite right, son What do you think?"

The hot food was put on the tray, and the weight in his hands increased a little, Yi Qingchen thought for a moment, breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled wryly, "She was right, I was the one who was stupid this time. After you go back, thank her for me, and tell her that I am not angry, and now my relationship with Shen Chi is very good, so she can rest assured."

Don't wait for a while, take the meal back to the tent, Hua Shenchi is kneeling quietly beside the low table, staring at the prescription on the case, holding a stone pestle in one hand, crushing the particles in the mortar with one stroke, Grabbed some new herbs and added them.

Yi Qingchen put the food on the coffee table, sat down and waited for Hua Shenchi to finish his work, and ate together. When Hua Shenchi was busy with medical skills, he could always step into a state of ecstasy. Yi Qingchen knew it well, so he just waited quietly. He rested his chin with one hand, tapped rhythmically on his knees with the other hand, and looked at Hua Shenchi's handsome and well-defined profile.

After putting the pills on the last prescription into the bottle, Hua Shenchi breathed a sigh of relief, knocked the prescriptions on the case, sorted them into a neat pile, put them back in the book, and when he looked up again, he found that Yi Qing Chen fell asleep on the coffee table again.

Breathing lightly and looking relaxed, it should be that he didn't have a nightmare, Hua Shenchi got up and took two steps towards him, the footsteps were clearly very soft, Yi Qingchen still woke up, and then rubbed his head in a daze , looking back at the meal leisurely, just now as if waking up from a dream, he said, "Maybe it's a bit cold, eat quickly, and I have to go to the woods with the team in the afternoon."

The two had just picked up their rice bowls and ate a few mouthfuls, when someone outside the tent said, "Is Mr. Yi there? The team for entering the forest is ready. Shuai Yu asked me to call you, Mr. Yi. It's too late now, Mr. Yi." But are you sure about your companions?"

Yi Qingchen took the chopsticks out of his mouth, it's hard to imagine that it's almost late now, did he actually sleep for an hour?It's really not good to keep others waiting for a long time, so I put down my rice bowl and found two pieces of dry food from the cabinet to take with me.

Hua Shenchi got up leisurely, straightened his clothes, and followed Yi Qingchen out slowly.

The disciple in charge of calling Yi Qingchen was wearing Jianzong's disciple's uniform, which was white all over, with indigo on the skirt, belt and cuffs, embroidered with snow-white flowing clouds, and looked quite a bit of a meditator He has a fairy spirit, and carries a thin long sword on his back. Because the whole body is wrapped in cloth, no patterns can be seen.Yi Qingchen gave this person a cursory look, and clasped fists with him, "Thank you, brother."

This Jianzong disciple seems to have a high status, so his demeanor is very different from ordinary disciples. Yi Qingchen only exchanged a few words with him, and he felt very comfortable talking with this person, and his voice was also very different. He is soft and loves to laugh, so he will involuntarily produce a sense of intimacy.

Yi Qingchen asked, "Under Yi Qingchen, do you dare to ask the young master's name?"

The Sword Sect disciple smiled and said, "My surname is Bai." He only said his surname with strangers, and the distance and grasp were very good. Yi Qingchen praised this person very much, and even changed his attitude towards Jian Sect a lot .

The two of them followed Mr. Bai all the way to the entrance of the forest, and found that the juniors of each family were already waiting here. They were all bored wiping their swords, looking at the map, or exercising their muscles. Generally speaking, they were still eager to try. Looking at their figures, they should all be Lianjiazi. It seems that due to the lessons learned from the previous accident, each sect specially selected some juniors who are more capable of fighting, so that the combat power of the team will also be expanded few.

Most of the people even recognized the identities of Yi Qingchen and Hua Shenchi, some of them had long been concerned about the privileges of Lingshan, so they joked maliciously, "Aren't people from Lingshan not going to the front line? Even the elders are here this time? Are you afraid that this weak young man in Yi will be hurt? It’s really enviable, when will I find my good young man?"

Those people burst into laughter, Yi Qingchen was used to this kind of ridicule for a long time, only judged the sect family they belonged to by their clothes, and silently wrote it down in his heart.

At the front of the crowd, Cai Zhu was standing silently, her expression seemed a little complicated, but more of it was the shock of Yi Qingchen's sudden appearance, she didn't dare to approach the latter for a long time, until Yi Qingchen walked up to her, After greeting her, she smiled and said, "Young master, you want to go in together?"

Yi Qingchen said calmly, "Yes, Shen Sheng said that he met an old friend inside, and asked me to go in and say hello to her."

Caizhu's smile froze, "The old man?"

Yi Qingchen smiled and said the name, "Yeluo. It's a nice name, right?"

Caizhu nodded with a smile, and pondered for a while, before saying with Qingchen in the same clothes, "My lord, the anti-drug pill is applied to people's hair, maybe I didn't prepare it for you, my lord, this miasma in the forest..."

Just at this time, Hua Shenchi took out the anti-drug elixir he had prepared, and handed it to Yi Qingchen, who put his head up and swallowed it, and said with a smile, "Shenchi has already prepared it, don't worry about me, the time is not right. It's early, let's go in."

Caizhu didn't want to say anything else, she just put the machete into the bamboo basket, carried it on her shoulder, and led everyone into the forest.

According to the instructions on Shen Sheng's map, this section of the road is relatively wide and safe, and this road is the place where I and Hua Shenchi went to find Ruhui that night, and I will walk along this road for another cup of tea. Kung fu will see a fork in the road.

However, what is different from the memory is that when everyone actually walked up to the white wolf stone statue, there was only one road left in front of them. Yi Qingchen stared at the stone statue and the shrubs blocking the road thoughtfully for a long time. He was very curious about this stone statue, so he said to him, "This is Lord Silver Wolf, the emissary of the Goddess of the Wolf God. Will come back safely."

Yi Qingchen lowered his head and laughed when he heard the words, "If this is the case, it would be great."

Because of the map guidance, everyone walked very quickly in the first half of the road. It took only two hours to arrive at the place where Shen Sheng met Ye Luo, and the route on the map was also interrupted here.

The disciple who kept the map looked at the map several times, took out a bamboo tube from his pocket, and poured out a pen from it, as if he was going to add routes while walking, and said to everyone, "The next step is the foggy area. , Everyone follow closely, if you can, please make sure that there is at least one teammate around you in the field of vision, and don't get lost alone."

Yi Qingchen got closer to Hua Shenchi, and everyone confirmed their trustworthy teammates. Caizhu was responsible for walking in the forefront of the team, cutting off branches blocking the way, and picking herbs at the same time.

After walking for another half an hour, nothing happened. There were no corpses or beasts as expected, not even a poisonous insect. Seeing that the road ahead was more foggy, and it was getting late, everyone planned to Then turn back and hand the map to Yu Mu.

Just when everyone was finalizing their return journey, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew deep in the forest, which made people shudder, and made Yi Qingchen feel a little creepy.

This wind is actually colder than the wind in the tomb passage of Lingshan disciple's tomb.

At this time, someone suddenly asked, "Hey, where is Miss Caizhu..."

It was only then that everyone realized that the colorful bamboos that were bending over to collect herbs last moment disappeared without a trace. Everyone looked at each other and looked around, only to find a handful of bamboos that fell on the ground. Hatchet, some people began to be afraid, "Why did it suddenly disappear?"

Someone suggested, "In any case, the current situation is too wrong, let's go back first and then discuss it in the long run."

Everyone felt that it was reasonable, so they planned to turn back the same way, but after walking for a long time, everyone felt that the surrounding fog seemed to be thicker. Yi Qingchen looked back and found that the field of vision that could be seen ten steps away had shrunk to only a few feet away. The Huashen Pond next to him is very clear, the rest of the people can only see a vague figure, and the ones farther away have long been submerged in the mist.

The situation was exactly the same as what Shen Sheng encountered last time. Yi Qingchen pulled out the dagger from his boots vigilantly, and continued walking next to the Huachen Pond. After walking for a while, Yi Qingchen realized something was wrong again. They found the place where the colorful bamboo dropped the hatchet, and they walked for a long time, but they kept circling in the same place. The fog affected their judgment and senses.

Yi Qingchen was thinking about whether to use Qinggong to climb to the top of the tree to see the road. Although the tree here is really tall, it is still no problem to climb up, but...

All the people gathered here are the more powerful juniors of the Zongmen family. Naturally, there are many people who have the same idea as Yi Qingchen. When Yi Qingchen was thinking about the pros and cons of climbing a tree to find the way, someone had already climbed the tree one step ahead of him. , agile, although not as light as Yi Qingchen, but it is also very fast.

Yi Qingchen heard the praise-like exclamation of the people around him, and looked up at the same time blankly. The view above was very narrow, and the man quickly disappeared from everyone's view, only the falling bark And the moss proves that the man is still alive.

Everyone waited for a while, and gradually, the bark stopped falling, and everyone commented, "Has it reached the top?"

Someone agreed, "Almost, with his speed it should be here."

Yi Qingchen lowered his head and pondered what to do next. Before he could concentrate, a pitch-black swallowtail butterfly flew past his eyes and disappeared into the mist. It began to rain on the top of his head. Constantly, I don't know who was the first to wipe the raindrops off my face, and I don't know who was the first to discover that the color of the raindrops was wrong. Anyway, when Yi Qingchen realized that his face and hands were covered with blood, the surroundings were already covered with blood. Someone yelled.

Not long after, accompanied by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, another scream sounded. Yi Qingchen followed the sound and found that the falling object should be the corpse of the person who went up earlier. A blur of red.

As a doctor, Hua Shenchi went forward to have a symbolic inspection, and confirmed that he had passed out. The cause of death was a cut in the neck, and he died of blood loss. Yi Qingchen sighed helplessly when he heard the cause of death.

He had previously felt that this matter could not be resolved so easily. There must be countless pairs of eyes staring at them in the dark. The strength is not enough to wipe them all out. If everyone keeps gathering together, the other party will not dare to act rashly. Although the other party may not let them easily get what they want, this is indeed the best way at the moment.

Yi Qingchen told everyone about his thoughts, and some juniors who had never seen the world were scared to death by the sudden scene, echoing what others said, and the juniors who still had some judgment communicated with each other and approved Yi Qingchen's proposal, and everyone immediately The group moved to a slightly more open area to rest for the time being.

Yi Qingchen and Hua Shenchi exchanged ideas for a while, and felt that no matter who is sent out to explore the way now, it is tantamount to pushing the other party to a dead end, but it is unrealistic to stay here for a long time, not to mention the internal organs. The anti-drug pill can only last for three days, and they didn't even see a spring on the way, let alone wild fruits. They are afraid that they will die of thirst here before three days.

Yi Qingchen thought about it again and again, and felt that he could not make the decision with his own words, so he suggested to everyone to select three to five people who had seen the big scene, and who were still in mind at the moment, and who were smarter to lead the team. Look at you, exchanged for a while, and really recommended four people, these four people are basically the same age, three men and one woman, they are Mr. Bai from Jianzong, Mr. Qi Yun from Huazong, Mr. Liu from Jiangnan Liu Family, and Mr. Qianji Pavilion. The third disciple is the maidservant of Luoshen.

In fact, these four people may not all be recommended. After all, the people present are from various schools and factions, and they are not familiar with each other, so it seems to be a self-recommendation. Still calm.

Among the four, Yi Qingchen had a short exchange with Mr. Bai, so he used Mr. Bai as a breakthrough point and asked him some opinions. Mr. Bai said, "There are 22 people left in the team. The other party dare not make a rash move, which means that the other party The number of people should be under 22. Although there are still three days left for us, normally speaking, if I have not returned by noon tomorrow, Shuai Yu will send someone to look for them, and the situation will be unfavorable to the other party, so they Shouldn't have kept us until then."

This is exactly what Yi Qingchen is worried about. Right now they are in the light and the enemy is in the dark. It is difficult to take the initiative. Whether they can break through the predicament before noon tomorrow will determine whether they can survive. After thinking for a long time, they turned to Hua Shen Chi, "How many anti-drug pills do you have on your body?"

Hua Shenchi said lightly, "Four."

In the case of scarce medicinal materials, it is not easy to make a portion for yourself, but this amount is indeed a little less, Yi Qingchen thought for a while, and then asked the four people in front of him, "If you have any skills, you can do it right now. Stop hiding."
