Weicheng snow

As far as the eye could see, everyone was performing their duties, and everyone was very busy, as if he was the only one left, unable to find a suitable position in this huge southward march.

Bowing his head and thinking for a while, Douzi's miserable face flashed in his mind, Yi Qingchen silently clenched the hem of his clothes, and finally walked to the team of the Medicine Sect, enduring the pain on his body, and helping to transport the injured.

When everything is packed, it is almost half an hour before we can continue on the road.

During this time, Yi Qingchen has been thinking about Douzi and Wuliang.In terms of love, Yi Qingchen only has a good impression of Douzi, but as for Wuliang, since he has no contact with him, it is not worth his life to save him.Yu Li, himself, Wuliang and even Douzi were on opposite sides. They belonged to the Food Marrow Sect, and he belonged to the South Marching Army, so there was no reason to help him.

And... I don't have much energy left...

Right now, rescuing Hua Shenchi is the top priority.

Thinking of this, Yi Qingchen strengthened his mind, raised his hand and patted his head vigorously, forcing himself to wake up a bit, and not to be driven irrationally by the so-called guilt and make wrong actions.

When the marching south arrived at the entrance of Juexian Valley, they found that the road into the valley had been blocked by fallen rocks. If there were no other roads into the valley on the map that would be handed over to Yu Mu, Yu Mu thought about it, but only Yan Zong can be entrusted to build the ladder on the spot, but because it takes a long time to build the ladder, the rest of the people can participate in the surrounding patrols in addition to recuperating, and allow a team of more than three people to explore the road nearby, but they must not leave the large team too far.

Yi Qingchen rested for a while, remembering that the location pointed by Douzi was nearby, and found Shen Sheng. His Royal Highness the Second Prince Ruying.

The three of them walked towards the forest on the west side of the mountain wall together.

Along the way, Shen Sheng complained to his fellow Yi Qingchen, "Master, I'll take care of this trouble for you, so you'll sell my face and go back, if you let the elder brother know that I'll let you come with me, you'll have to pick me up." skin."

Yi Qingchen smiled without looking back, "I thought you were used to being scolded all these years ago."

Shen Sheng smiled wryly, "My lord, what are you talking about? No one is used to being scolded. Don't you feel panicked..."

Yi Qingchen sneered, "You don't have to persuade me anymore, I want to see Shen Chi, and your mood is the same as you want to see Duanyue. You are afraid that I will lose my life because of Shen Chi, but I am afraid of you You betrayed the Dao because of Duanyue, you and I are the same, don't say anything about anyone else."

Shen Sheng hissed, "My lord, you can't say that. There are precedents for you to lose your life. I have never..."

Yi Qingchen interrupted him, "Then who was in charge of examining Duanyue's body when we were in Zhao's old house?"

After saying this, Shen Sheng also fell silent, Yi Qingchen just shook his head, but also stopped talking, unwilling to mention these old pasts full of scars.

The three of them walked for a while, and Yi Qingchen suddenly heard a girl crying.

For the sake of safety, Yi Qingchen made a silent gesture to Shen Sheng and Ruying. The three of them bent their backs and carefully followed the source of the sound. When they reached the hiding place, they poked out half of their heads to observe the situation in front of them.

Shen Sheng and Ruying are invisible to Douzi, only Yi Qingchen can see clearly what is happening right now.

As far as the eyes can see is a small world surrounded by trees, immeasurably lying on the ground, there is still a trace of breath, but the eyes have turned into a pair of blood holes, standing in front of him is a national teacher in black robes, and a A luxuriously dressed woman, the woman just stared at Wuliang's face expressionlessly, tilted her head numbly, pinched an eyeball with her fingertips, and played with it as if nothing had happened.

Douzi wanted to rush over to snatch it, but his body passed through the woman's body, and he missed it.

Neither the national teacher nor the woman noticed the existence of Douzi, and the former continued to appreciate Wuliang's appearance for a while, and said to the woman contentedly, "Master, let's go back, there are still some things in the valley that have not been resolved."

The woman turned her head stiffly when she heard the sound, looked at the national teacher for a moment, then turned back, and continued to stare at Wuliang.The national teacher waited for a while before he compromised and said, "Since that's the case, I will go back to the valley first. If the master settles the matter here, I will go back earlier. Although it is very safe here, it is not in the valley... Before he finished speaking, an eyeball fell on the face of the national teacher, the national teacher was silent, raised his hand to wipe the blood on his cheek, stopped talking, and quietly retreated.

After the national teacher left, Wu Liang struggled and fumbled on the ground, as if he wanted to find the Zen stick he had left behind.

The woman numbly raised one foot, crushed Wuliang's hand, and tilted her head, as if she was curious about what Wuliang would do next, but Wuliang didn't move, so the woman kicked Wuliang over and bent over. He went to grab the Buddha beads that Wuliang held tightly in his heart. This time, Wuliang suddenly exerted his strength to fight with it. Seeing Wuliang's reaction, the woman tilted her head again, raised her feet, and pointed at Wuliang's belly again. With a kick, Wuliang spat out a mouthful of blood, but still refused to let go.

Douzi burst into tears, "Great Monk, let go, let go... Isn't it just a bone, you just give it to her..."

Wuliang couldn't hear it at all, just scrambled blindly.

The woman finally pulled violently, and the string connecting the beads broke, and each of the beads fell to the ground, scattered in the blood. The woman looked at the incomplete string of beads in her hand, and threw them at her feet expressionlessly. At the same time, he watched Wuliang grope for the Buddhist beads in the pool of blood, and murmured, "Not this...not this...nor this..."

Just when Wuliang finally touched the uneven white bead, the woman raised her foot again and crushed Wuliang's hand, but Wuliang clenched his hand into a fist to protect the bead in the palm of his hand.

His fist seemed to be surrounded by the last bit of true energy condensed from his internal energy, so he should be able to hold on for a while.

But in the end, he was no match for Yanjia's persistent attack.

Finally, the true energy dissipated, the bones shattered, and the fists spread out, but the woman was still crushing, crushing the beads into the flesh and blood of the infinite palm.

Shen Sheng couldn't take it any longer, he drew his sword out of its sheath, rushed out, and slashed at the woman's neck, the blade of the sword shook, leaving only a shallow wound on the woman's skin that did not bleed. Turning his head to look directly at Shen Sheng, he suddenly grasped the edge of the sword, snapped it sharply, and the sword broke.

Shen Sheng immediately realized the disparity in strength between the two, so he hurriedly took a few steps back to distance himself from them, and when he saw Ruying coming to help out with his sword drawn, he opened his mouth and said lightly, "My lord, this monster is a bit difficult to deal with. Delay with Ruying for at least a few hours, you are the fastest, go and find Shuai Yu to help you!"

Yi Qingchen turned around without hesitation, endured the leg injury and rushed back desperately, but no matter how fast the footsteps are now, it is not as fast as when he was in his heyday. Holding Mr. Dugu's sleeve, he said incoherently, "Sir, there is... strange..."

Mr. Dugu patted Yi Qingchen's back with a light smile, and comforted him, "I understand, my lord, please rest." He said a few words to Yu Mu briefly, and then led a group of people to support him.

Because of the leg injury, Yi Qingchen won't be able to stand up again for a while, and can only sit on the spot to ease the pain. If he knows Yi Qingchen's injury best, he leans over and whispers concerned, "My lord, Let me help you take a look."

Yi Qingchen shook his head, seeing that Ruoji was about to roll up his trouser legs, he quickly retracted his feet, panting, "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired..."

Ruhui said worriedly, "This Yanjia can't run violently, young master, you should be hurt, if you are so reckless, if you can't stand up again in the future, what should you do..."

Yi Qingchen patted Ruhui's head, and comforted, "That only blames me, not you."

After a while, he stood up and was planning to go to Shen Sheng to see the battle situation, but Mr. Dugu had already returned, bringing back countless corpses and the woman's twisted armored body.

Both were unceremoniously thrown to the ground by the South Marching Army.

Shen Yi hurried to Shen Sheng's side, anxiously asking about the injury.

From Yi Qingchen's point of view, Shen Sheng and Ruying are master swordsmen after all, and Mr. Dugu helped them in time, so they probably didn't suffer serious injuries, but they certainly wouldn't be unscathed.

Ruying just stood by silently from the beginning to the end, watching Shen Yi ask Shen Sheng this and that, his expression was so sad that it was unbearable to look at, Yi Qingchen couldn't stand it anymore, so he squatted at himself Ruhui, who was also saddened as before, said, "Go and see Ruying, this kid probably doesn't have many injuries on his body, and his heart is full of holes."

Only then did Ruhui get up slowly, and went to Ruying to express his fellow-clan concern, and Yi Qingchen had time to look at the condition of the humanoid Yanjia and Wuliang.

From the current point of view, Wu Liang should have passed away. As for the cause of death, judging from the situation he witnessed before, it was too cruel, and Yi Qingchen didn't want to think about it.And the human-shaped Yanjia was dragged to an open space alone, attracting the elders and disciples of Yanzong to watch, "This, is this really a human-shaped Yanjia?"

"This is a forbidden technique, how did you do it?"

"Ridiculous, ridiculous!"

Yanjia's head had been twisted off, and his eyes had been gouged out, so he died completely.Yi Qingchen looked at it for a moment, vaguely aware of someone coming behind him, glanced at the black and purple robes of the visitor from the corner of the eye, and asked without looking back, "In my opinion, is this really a human-shaped Yanjia?"

Mr. Dugu opened the folding fan, shook it, his demeanor remained undiminished, he could not tell at all that he was a person who had just returned from a victorious battle, "It's just a pile of broken copper and iron, just because it has been poured with human blood all the year round, attracting evil spirits. It is attached to it, so it is just causing trouble. Right now, goug her eyes and break her neck, the evil spirit can no longer cling to it, and it will disperse."

Yi Qingchen sighed silently, and his mood became more and more complicated. When he looked up again, Douzi was already standing not far away, obviously crying, but he still guarded the countless corpses and refused to leave. Chen struggled for a long time, and also reflected on himself many times, before he stretched out his hand towards Douzi, beckoned, and forced a smile, "Douzi, come here, big brother wants to ask you something."

Douzi wiped his tears and walked slowly to Yi Qingchen. Although he didn't seem to hate Yi Qingchen, he didn't take the initiative to ask Yi Qingchen what he wanted to ask. Yi Qingchen thought for a moment and asked directly, "Just now What happened in the forest? What happened to the national teacher Tong Wuliang? Do you know anything?"

After all, Douzi is just a child, and Yi Qingchen doesn't expect her to give any useful information, but the current situation is special, even if she can only ask for a clue, it's good.

Douzi lowered his head and thought for a while, and gradually held back his tears, but his small shoulders still couldn't help twitching, and after a long while, he said in a hoarse voice, "I don't know what happened before, but I have a hunch that the national teacher will harm everyone. Monk... When I arrived, I saw the national teacher attacking the great monk, but I couldn't do anything, I could only watch the great monk being bullied..."

Yi Qingchen knew that he couldn't ask any more questions from Douzi's mouth, so he could only infer from the information he knew so far. In order to make the human-shaped armor, the national teacher did not hesitate to use evil methods to feed it with human blood, and there was some kind of deviation in the result. However, the human-shaped Yanjia did not succeed in coming back to life, but was instead possessed by evil spirits.The national teacher seems to want to give the best to Xing Yanjia. Although he doesn't know why he killed Wuliang, it should be something on Wuliang's body...

"Hey, look, what is this..." After the sound of scattered wood and iron pieces, a Yanzong disciple took out a spherical object from the disassembled Yanjia skull, and Yi Qingchen took a closer look , found a pair of human eyes, said to be human eyes, but can only vaguely see the outline, most of them have begun to melt, the sphere has become cloudy, and the dripping liquid exudes a sour smell, which has clearly been decayed for a long time.

Yi Qingchen looked at it for a while, and seemed to understand the reason why the national teacher would choose Wuliang to attack. In fact, among the living people of the Food Marrow Sect, except for Douzi who has cloudy eyes, everyone's eyes are intact, that is to say, before today. No matter who the protector who came to face the South Marching Army, even if it was Jiang Jiuqu or Duanyue, as long as the national teacher took advantage of the gap, he would be boundless. What the national teacher needed was a pair of new eyeballs, and Wuliang was just Unlucky, he lost his life.

But Wuliang is really just bad luck...

In his own right...

Will it be reduced to the end of being plotted and helpless?

Ruhui slowly walked over, walked up to Yi Qingchen, spread out his closed hands, and in the palm lay a red and white jade bead, at such a distance, Yi Qingchen could see clearly that this was not an ordinary jade bead at all , but a relic.

Ruhui sighed, and said softly, "Second Senior Sister asked me to bring it here, is Douzi here? I want to return it to her..."

Yi Qingchen turned his head to look at Douzi, and followed Yi Qingchen's eyes if he could, but he couldn't see anything, so he could only spread his palms to the air, and smiled wryly, "Douzi, I'm sorry, but in the end there is still nothing. I can't help you..." After thinking for a while, he turned his head and asked Yi Qingchen, "What about the soul of this monk? After Douzi died, there is still a soul. This monk just died, so it should be here too, right? "

After being reminded like this, Yi Qingchen noticed that the soul of the infinite monk had never appeared from the beginning to the end, subconsciously looked around, but still found nothing, so he asked Douzi, "Do you know where the infinite soul is? "

Douzi shook his head with red eyes.

Yi Qingchen didn't know much about the six realms of reincarnation, and now he was full of confusion, so he turned to Mr. Dugu for help, trying to get an explanation.Seeing this, Mr. Dugu shook his folding fan thoughtfully, "Because this is the inside of the Soul Cultivation Formation."

Yi Qingchen was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered the art of cultivating the soul in the coffin that he had seen in Wangqing Palace, and then thought of something very bad, and murmured, "No way..."

Mr. Dugu bent down and gently slapped the fan to wipe off the dust on the ground. The corner of the bright red text was exposed to everyone's eyes. Mr. Dugu looked at it and said with a light smile, "If your guess is right, The reason why Tianchenzi was able to restore his wife's body to the point where she can accept the technique of bringing the dead back to life when her body was almost completely destroyed must have used countless evil methods..."

"According to the information I have obtained, the Marrow Food Sect has been operating in various parts of the Central Plains these years, not only to test magic, but to expand their formations, bury corpses in various places, and outline a cobweb-like formation. , constantly absorbing the soul power of the wandering souls in the spider webs to feed the corpses, only then can the corpses damaged decades ago be intact... Now that we see it, it can be concluded that the center of the formation must be in the Valley of Absolute Strings. "

After a pause, he got up and smiled with Yi Qingchen, "Will I talk too much?"

Yi Qingchen hurriedly shook his head, "Sir, please continue."
