[Sword III] Seeking Wings

Grain trucks rushed into the fog.

Modin was so frightened that he only opened a slit in his eyes to identify the direction, so apart from the dark gray fog that could barely distinguish his fingers, only the defensive aura around him was constantly being shattered and refilled, emitting like fireflies. Intensely flickering light blue light—and when the talisman paper in Chi Xiao's hand was burning, there was a faint golden light.

The toxicity of this mist does not seem to be strong, and it can be effectively neutralized with ordinary Chunyang exorcising talisman paper. Even until the grain truck entered the depths where the mist was almost liquid, Chi Xiao did not use Xuanjing at all.

——But his internal strength, which had not been fully recovered, seemed to be exhausted by the high-frequency reworked aura.

Seeing the light of the aura around him getting weaker and weaker, Modin felt that his nerves were becoming more and more tense,

Just when they started to hurt as if they were about to snap, Tang Xiaoyi finally broke the good news.

"That mace master is gone." She signaled Chi Xiao not to be vigilant, and at the same time slowed down the speed of the car.

Modin slumped on the seat with a "bang".

Before he breathed a sigh of relief, Tang Xiaoyi immediately broke the bad news.

"We are already in the dense forest of Mass Burial Mounds, and—" her voice was empty, she raised her finger behind her, "there are really weird things here."

Obviously, the three of them came in through the official road built by the civilians, and they are still on the official road. The civilians in front of them are still continuing construction, extending the route to the depths of the forest.

But now, there is no trace of the road behind them.

Only dense, distorted, dark-colored large plants filled the whole area.

Every inch the grain truck moves forward, the ground behind it is covered by plants. Although the gray-white official road in front is still growing, the strange plants of the same type on both sides of it continue to grow taller at a faster rate. From nothing, grow from tiny saplings to cover the sky.

The shadows of the branches and leaves quickly covered the road.Now, except for the golden talisman paper in Chi Xiao's hand, where the light is fading away, in the entire area of ​​sight, there are only dark green alien shapes swaying in layers, as if the wriggling mouth of the abyss of the demon realm is approaching its prey from all directions. surrounded.

Modin rolled his eyes, and quietly passed out on Chi Xiao.

Chi Xiao was so crushed by him, and even the shimmering talisman in his hand trembled as if it was about to go out—his internal energy could no longer be sustained.

Tang Xiaoyi quickly helped Modin to the side, and quickly pulled Chi Xiao up to ensure that the talisman paper had enough air circulation to support the combustion.

"...Miss Tang... don't be nervous. Concentrate on it." Chi Xiao supported her sweaty hand and sat firmly, "Look at the runes, and follow my prompts to recite the formula..."

Considering the strength of the evil spirit here, what he taught her was a rather high-level set of heart-purifying mantras in the Chunyang Sect. For a person like her who has no Taoist cultivation, it usually takes at least half an hour to practice effectively.

But Tang Xiaoyi only took half a quarter of an hour to learn it.

As the formula worked, her eyes gradually cleared up, and the wildly growing alien plants gradually receded.

After a quarter of an hour, all the abnormalities disappeared, and the forest and road completely returned to their normal appearance.

Under the bright sunlight in the afternoon, it can be seen that the official road is wide and tidy, the trees are green and sparse, surrounded by birdsong and flowers, and there is no sense of sinister Fengshui at first glance.Even, if it weren't for the large gray poisonous fog controlling the people ahead, this place could almost be called a pleasant scenery.

"...Daoist, although I am a layman, I also know the so-called "a comfortable environment means good feng shui". According to this standard, the feng shui here is good, why is there such a strange thing?" After awakening Modin, Tang Xiaoyi asked .

"The evil aura here does not come from the terrain, but a mixture of special plants and mineral volatile components to generate a poisonous gas similar to hallucinogens." Chi Xiao moved the burning talisman paper closer to her, showing her the reaction process similar to that of conventional poison protection .

"So that's the case...then why did I have no problem walking from here in the past, but I got caught today?

——And, you also saw the illusion, right?You have a Taoist cultivation base, so you shouldn't be affected by this level of evil spirit?In addition, the hallucinations caused by hallucinogens should be different for each person. Why do the three of us see the same? "

Hearing this, Tang Xiaoyi's doubts deepened, and he asked a series of questions.

Chi Xiao didn't answer.

He fell asleep again.

"—God you can't sleep!!!"

Seeing that the talisman paper was about to go out due to the loss of internal power supply, and abnormal shadows began to appear in the surrounding forest again, Tang Xiaoyi yelled in a hurry and slapped Chi Xiao awake.

"...You have the nerve to hit me. Who wouldn't want to sleep after hearing such a long list of questions?"

Chi Xiao half-opened her eyes and re-ignited the talisman paper, and waved her hand away in displeasure.

Tang Xiaoyi was not on guard, and gave him a solid slap.

But she knew she couldn't continue to fight him to stimulate him to stay awake—

According to her inference, his drowsiness should be due to the exhaustion of internal energy, the only way to relieve it is to rest and adjust his breath, rashly arousing his anger will only be counterproductive.

Therefore, she abruptly put down her fist that she was supposed to fight back, and changed to a pleasant expression, stroking her hair in a good voice:

"...All right, all right, I was wrong, I won't hit you, can you ask a shorter question? You must answer every question, and you can't sleep no matter what. The lives of the three of us are in your hands."

——The only thing that can neutralize the strange evil spirit here is Chi Xiao's talisman paper.Therefore, even though forcibly squeezing the little internal energy left by a person who was already so weak that he was about to pass out was considered a cruel act, she could only do so.

Seeing Chi Xiao's nod, Tang Xiaoyi sighed, said thank you for your hard work, and began to ask:

"What's in our truck?"

"forage."

"Where are you going?"

"Luoyang."

"Who is your teammate traveling with you?"

"Wicked Valley girl Tang Sect, commoner Modin."

"Who gave you the task?"

"Daddy."

"Which strongholds are we going to attack and defend against Father Cang next week?"

"Don't tell you."

... Ha ha, the question and answer is really effective, you are very clear-headed and your mouth is very strict.

Just when Tang Xiaoyi failed to speak well, and Yan Yuese was about to lose her composure, Modin next to her pulled down her sleeve, and said softly, "That... can I also ask together?"

Seeing the other party nodding, Modin immediately began to recite the manuscript:

"—I just remembered after listening to you talk. I don't know the names of the two heroes! Now we have a long way to go, and the situation is so dangerous. The three of us are not so... partners who share life and death, So, why not call each other names and get to know each other better?"

——He interrupted, firstly, to alleviate fear through talking, and more importantly, seeing that the two were only talking in the open and in secret, he felt that as their teammate, it was necessary for him to act as a link to enhance the team's friendship.

"...Oh yes, my title is Yin Yu. Forgive me for not being able to tell you my real name, after all there is a hostile camp."

After listening to the long list of meaningless words, Tang Xiaoyi was stunned for a moment before answering—she really forgot to exchange names with Chi Xiao, because she thought she could kill him when she got to Maple Leaf Lake.

However, although the Taoist leader of the hostile faction is considered a long-distance adventure teammate, because she often performs secret missions, she still only reported the sect title that is used as a code name on weekdays.

"...Hey! I'm asking you too!" Seeing that Chi Xiao finally opened his eyes after hearing the words, but suddenly stared straight ahead, wondering what he was thinking, Tang Xiaoyi immediately patted him on the shoulder, "Speak!"

"...My Dao name is Chi Xiao." After a while, Chi Xiao finally came back to his senses.

"... Huh?" Tang Xiaoyi was taken aback again, "Why do you have the same name as your sword?"

"——it's still the inauspicious first half." She said casually.

The Chixiao Red Lotus is famous all over the world, so everyone in the martial arts knows that its predecessor is the Chixiao Sword used by Han Gaozu to kill the White Snake Rebellion.This sword has been through many wars for thousands of years, and has gradually become evil, and has devoured its owner several times.Because of its vicious reputation, Lu Dongbin, the ancestor of Chunyang, brought it to the sect to suppress it, and changed its name to Chixiaohonglian. This sword belongs to Chunyang, and it has been decades.

It is precisely because of this that a young man like Chi Xiao, who is still inexperienced, can bring this kind of magic weapon into the world openly and openly.

——If they are both cultivators, no one would dare to covet the disciples of the Chunyang sect who are the head of the Taoist sect.If it weren't for the Taoists, no one thought their fate was so good that they wanted to grab a sword to make themselves more unlucky.

"...Hey, even though your life as a cultivator is very hard, and you have Xuan Jing, you can suppress the evil spirits, so you don't need to take this Tao name?" Seeing the other party sitting up and looking over, it seems that this topic is extra Bracing himself up, Tang Xiaoyi continued to chat, "Do you have any relationship with it? Or do you simply care about it?"

"...very concerned." Hearing this, Chi Xiao turned his head away, stopped looking at her, but didn't sleep again, just staring ahead for a long time as if in a trance, before answering.

"Well, I'm sorry, I broke it—" Tang Xiaoyi immediately took the opportunity to answer.

However, before she could go any further and propose to take away his sword to help him repair it, to see why he kept holding it so abnormally, Chi Xiao suddenly trembled as if struck by lightning.

As if knowing what she wanted to do, he grabbed the backpack even harder, then returned to the posture of staring ahead, and never moved again.

From the side where Tang Xiaoyi was, he didn't even blink.

She didn't feel right, reached out to grab his shoulder, and turned him around.

——Then saw the whole process of his pupils dilating and his eyes losing focus.

The next moment, Chi Xiao let go of his hands, tilted his body, opened his eyes in such a weird way, and fell straight down.
