Three days later, everyone set off from Yunyan City to Yunmang Mountain.
"Why don't you let me go!" Inside the inn, Bai Jingxing stopped Shen Li, begging bitterly, "A Li, I have listened to you these few days, and nothing has caused any trouble, just let me go!"
"No." Shen Li didn't show affection at all, "We agreed earlier that you can only stay in Yunyan City and not go into dangerous places."
Shen Li forcefully pulled his sleeves out of Bai Jingxing's clutches, and said in a helpless tone, "How did you promise me back then?"
"But……"
Bai Jingxing looked at Shen Li tearfully, seeing that he was unmoved, he angrily raised his hand and pointed behind Shen Li: "Then why did you take him there!"
Qi Changzhao, who was standing aside watching the play, was suddenly involved and cast an innocent look at Shen Li.
Qi Changzhao didn't have a good impression of these demon cultivators in his heart. According to his original intention, he hoped that Shen Li could send away the disciples of Tianyi Shenzong, and the two of them went to Yunmang Mountain alone.
But who made Shen Li too high-profile when he came to Yunyan City before, most of the immortal sects in Yunyan City already knew about the arrival of Tianyi Shenzong, and now, their sudden withdrawal would easily arouse suspicion.
Shen Li impromptu made up a script of a chance meeting at an inn and hitting it off at first sight, pretending to be friends with Qi Changzhao, so that he would follow Tianyi Shenzong to act together as a matter of course, and be a beautiful oil bottle.
But in this way, Bai Jingxing was not happy.
Bai Jingxing is still young and has a youthful heart. Ever since he met Shen Li, he has always regarded himself as Shen Li's best brother.
He is the only son in his family, and the people around him are either older than him, or treat him with respect because of his status as the Holy Son.It is rare to meet Shen Li who is not only about his age, but also does not treat him differently because of his status, Bai Jingxing naturally cherishes it very much.
When he came to Yunyan City, a strange young man suddenly appeared and made friends with his best friend, and he couldn't be happy with anyone.
Shen Li had no choice but to laugh and curse: "It's all right, you, don't mess around. Don't you look at his cultivation level? If you have half his skills, I won't force you to stay here."
"I..." Bai Jingxing's eyes dimmed.
Shen Li's secret path is not good.
It was only in the past few months that he found out that Bai Jingxing didn't care about Si Liu in the past, but he actually had a lot of self-esteem.However, this person's aptitude is dull and his talent is limited. It usually takes him one or two years, or even three or four years to master the spells that ordinary people can master in only three months.
Bai Jingxing has always been very concerned about his useless qualifications.
Shen Li consciously said something wrong, and patted Bai Jingxing's shoulder, his voice softened: "Jing Xing, didn't you always want to learn Taoism from me? When I go back this time, I will teach you how to practice, okay?"
Bai Jingxing looked up at him, doubtful: "Really? You didn't lie to me, did you?"
"Of course, I won't lie to you."
"That's great, Ah Li!" Bai Jingxing's eyes regained their brilliance, and he said excitedly, "Then I'll wait for you to come back, you have to come back soon!"
Shen Li was so focused on coaxing people that he didn't pay attention to Qi Changzhao's increasingly gloomy face behind him.
He sent a few disciples to stay in the inn to protect Bai Jingxing, and took the rest of the 20 people out of the city.
Qi Changzhao followed everyone with a gloomy face, without saying a word, Shen Li looked back at him several times, and realized that the man was walking slower and slower, and he was about to fall behind.Shen Li thought for a while, then slowed down, and came to Qi Changzhao's side.
Shen Li lowered his voice and asked with a smile: "Why does the Daoist seem to be in a bad mood? What's wrong with you? Let me be happy if you tell me?"
Qi Changzhao snorted coldly: "What does it have to do with you?"
Shen Li: "..."
Has this person eaten early in the morning?
Shen Li thought this person was really interesting.
Since he pierced this person's disguise, Daoist Ji Yun never put on an air in front of him again, deliberately put on that gentle and easy-going appearance.On the contrary, this person has a clear love and hate personality, petty and irritable, but because that face is really irritating, it makes Shen Li feel very real and cute.
Shen Li likes to tease him recently, knowing that he is sulking, and deliberately ignores him.Sure enough, not long after, Qi Changzhao couldn't help but said, "Are you really going to teach that trash Bai Jingxing how to practice?"
Um?Are you angry about this?
Shen Li said slowly: "What kind of trash, here are all people from Tianyi Shenzong, the Taoist priest should be more polite to our Son."
Qi Changzhao didn't speak.
Shen Li said again: "Jing Xing is my friend, not to mention Tianyi Shenzong is kind to me, what's wrong with me teaching him? But you, why do you always have prejudice against Jing Xing?"
Qi Changzhao was silent for a while, then whispered, "People from the Demon Sect..."
Shen Li raised his eyebrows: "Master Taoist, am I still the envoy of Shenzong?"
Qi Changzhao didn't speak again.
It has been raining continuously in Yunyan City for the past few days, and before the group of people left the city, it began to rain again.They all have self-cultivation to protect themselves, so this little rain is nothing, but not everyone thinks so.
"Young Master, Young Master!" A familiar voice came from behind, Shen Li paused, and looking back, he saw Qiao Yun walking quickly in the rain, with a black cloak and an oil umbrella in his arms.
Qiao Yun is an outer disciple of Tianyi Shenzong, his cultivation level is not high, so even if he goes, he won't be able to help him much.Shen Li didn't take him into the mountain, but asked him to stay in the inn to wait.
This person has a handsome and upright appearance, although he can't be said to be extremely outstanding, he is much handsomer than ordinary people.But he happened to have a worry-loving temperament, which fell into Shen Li's eyes, and he had a little more old lady temperament for no reason.
Qiao Yun caught up, shook off the cloak in his hand, and put it on Shen Li: "Young master, why are you wearing so little? It's still raining outside."
Shen Li subconsciously rejected it: "It's just a little rain, it's okay——"
Qiao Yun: "Why don't you get in the way? You forgot the serious illness you suffered when you first arrived at Tianyi Shenzong? Your body is not as good as others, so you have to pay attention."
Qi Changzhao frowned: "Have you been sick before?"
Shen Li pretended not to hear, broke free from Qiao Yun's hand, and tied up the cloak by himself: "You go back quickly, don't worry about me."
Qiao Yun opened the umbrella and said, "I'll take you outside the city. The rain is getting heavier and heavier. I'll hold the umbrella for you."
Shen Li: "No need, how can I be so delicate—"
Before he finished speaking, a hand stretched out from the side, lightly but not resisting the oil umbrella in Qiao Yun's hand.Qi Changzhao put the umbrella on top of Shen Li's head, and said softly, "I'll take care of Ah Li."
Shen Li: "..."
Qiao Yun looked at Shen Li, then at Qi Changzhao, with a little embarrassment in his eyes.
Shen Li raised his forehead: "Little Qiao, go back first, take care of the Son, we will be back soon."
Qiao Yun: "...Yes."
Qiao Yun walked away quickly, Qi Changzhao walked beside Shen Li holding an umbrella, and asked again: "What's wrong with your body?"
"How long ago did this happen..." Shen Li answered casually, tilting his head to see Qi Changzhao's serious expression, changed his voice, and smiled deliberately, "Why, Daoist, you feel sorry for me. Who told me I was weak since I was a child, and after being teased by others before, I was out of breath and fell ill when I first arrived at Tianyi Shenzong, who do you think I can blame?"
Qi Changzhao frowned, and said in a low voice, "Is that so?"
Shen Li said this on purpose for him.
When he first arrived at Tianyi Shenzong, Shen Li's body data had not returned to normal.Coupled with the loss of cultivation in the Chungui Building several times before, and the rush for several days, this sick and weak body finally reached its limit.He started to have a high fever the night he first arrived at Tianyi Shenzong, and he lay on the bed for four or five days straight, looking like he was dying, which scared Bai Jingxing enough.
However, after recovering from that illness, his body data has completely recovered to the level of his previous life.
Shen Li would definitely not say this.
Shen Li pretended to gather the cloak on his shoulders, and wrapped himself tighter as if he was afraid of the cold. Coupled with his naturally pale face, he looked very weak.
"...Can I still lie to you?"
Qi Changzhao's eyes lowered and fell on the other's thin and fair face.
The contours of Shen Li's face tended to be soft, and when he spoke, his eyebrows and eyes were full of expression, which was very contagious, and it would not make people think that he was a sick and weak boy at all.But when he calmed down, his eyes drooped, his slender eyelashes were clearly rooted, and the lips under his tall nose bridge were light in color, revealing a weak temperament.
The delay between the two of them put them far away from the disciples in front of them.It was raining all over the sky, they walked slowly in the haze of misty rain, pedestrians came and went, but the world under the umbrella was silent.
Qi Changzhao stared at his bloodless lips, and gently raised his free hand, as if wanting to put it on his shoulder.
But at this moment, Shen Li turned his head: "Daoist, why are you silent?"
Qi Changzhao's hands stopped abruptly.
He quickly withdrew his hand, looked away abruptly, and said softly, "It's okay, let's go."
Shen Li glanced at him, suddenly a little discouraged.
What's the matter with this person, he sells so hard, this person is actually unmoved, doesn't even know how to feel sorry for him?
Shen Li wrapped her cloak tightly, and buried her face in the warm velvet.
Outside the city, some immortal sects had already set off ahead of schedule, only a few people remained at Changyu Gate, waiting to lead the way for the following sects.
Among them was Elder Chonghua from Changyumen.
Since Shen Li wanted to take the disciples of Tianyi Shenzong to Lingquan, his identity could not be concealed.
Qi Changzhao took the initiative to say that he would handle the matter properly and did not let Shen Li intervene.
Shen Li was so happy that he stopped worrying, and did not ask how he explained the matter to Elder Chonghua.However, judging from the fact that Elder Chonghua did not show any surprise when he saw the two of them appearing in the disciple team of Tianyi Shenzong at the same time, Qi Changzhao had indeed handled the matter properly.
It's just... It would have been better if he didn't show sympathy, pity, and overly loving eyes when he exchanged greetings with Shen Li.
Tianyi Shenzong's carriage slowly left Yunyan City and headed towards Yunmang Mountain.In the carriage, Shen Li endured and endured, and asked Qi Changzhao, "What did you tell that old man Chonghua?"
"What?" Qi Changzhao peeled off the greased paper with his slender fingers, revealing the crystal clear sweet-scented osmanthus cake inside.
——Before leaving, Qi Changzhao specially asked someone to buy it from the best restaurant in the city.
The sweet-scented osmanthus cake is freshly baked, steaming hot and fragrant.
Shen Li stared at the pastry in his hand, cursed inwardly for being so delicate, and asked, "What do you say about our affairs?"
Qi Changzhao didn't raise his head, and said in a low voice: "Although you are a demon, you still have a deep affection for me. You dare not let the people of Tianyi Shenzong know my identity, so you can only use this opportunity to come to Yunyan City to get along with me. I will meet in secret. Please keep it secret, otherwise you will definitely seek death and lose your life."
"Pfft..." Shen Li couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing, "He can believe it just like that, why does he listen to you so much?"
Qi Changzhao put the sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the table, picked up a good-looking piece, put it near his mouth and blew: "Changyu Sect is within the territory of Tianyu Kingdom, and most of the new disciples who join each year are the citizens of Tianyu Kingdom. Moreover, the daily expenses of the sect also require the help of Tianyu Kingdom."
Shen Li understood: "This is called taking people with short hands and eating people with short mouths."
Qi Changzhao looked up at him, and stuffed the cooled snack into his mouth: "Eat yours."
After traveling a hundred miles, the carriage reached the border of Yunmang Mountain.The mountains in the southwest are inherently steep, and the mountains are endless. In addition to the swamp forest surrounded by mist on the Yunmang Mountain, it is impossible for cars and horses to pass, so they can only get out of the car and walk.
A group of people walked into the mountain.
In the dense forest filled with miasma, there are overgrown vegetation, and the tall tree crowns hide the sky and block out the sun.Everyone walked away for most of the day, but they didn't even see the shadow of Lingquan.
"It's really this way, can't we go wrong?" A baby-faced Tianyi Shenzong disciple whispered to his companion.
The other person was a little older than him, and comforted him: "Master Shengshi said that this is the place, just follow along."
"But..." The baby-faced disciple glanced behind him and lowered his voice, "Is the holy envoy good at all? He also doesn't know magic spells. He looks weak, and he won't faint by the side of the road if he walks on." Bar."
"What nonsense are you talking about, don't die."
"Where am I talking nonsense, I am." The baby-faced disciple said, "This holy envoy has no cultivation at all, isn't it because he has a good relationship with the young master, so he is valued by the suzerain? The suzerain is really, send such a disease Yangzi is here, how can we fight with the people from Xianzong..."
Hearing his words, another disciple leaned over his head: "Actually, I also think that the kind of noble son is just enjoying the blessings in the sect. If he has to come here to do something, we have to bother to take care of him..."
"What are you talking about?" A cold voice sounded behind them, and they all trembled and turned their heads.
Qi Changzhao's face was gloomy, and his eyes were piercingly cold.
"Qi, Mr. Qi, we..."
Qi Changzhao didn't listen to these people's explanation, and said coldly: "Let me hear you gossiping behind your back again, and I will personally discipline you on behalf of the envoy."
There was always a fearsome aura about Qi Changzhao, and the aura was even worse when he was stern. Several disciples were so frightened that their legs went limp, and they repeatedly apologized and begged for mercy.
But Shen Li didn't notice this at all.
He walked at the end of the crowd, his eyes lowered, his eyes fixed on the ground in front of him, as if he was walking cautiously.
Suddenly, he crashed head-on into a person's chest.
Shen Li was dizzy from the collision, and when he raised his head, he saw Qi Changzhao standing in front of him with a displeased face: "Why don't you look at the road when you walk?"
Shen Li rubbed his painful forehead, thinking that the road is so wide, this person suddenly appeared in front of him, and he blamed him for not knowing the way, what is the reason?
Shen Li was angry: "Why did you suddenly appear in front of me?"
"I should be asking you that." Qi Changzhao said, "What's the matter with your face, are you tired?"
Shen Li: "No, there's nothing to be tired of walking this far, I'm just—"
"What is it?"
"It's okay." Shen Li waved his hand, and took two quick steps, "Let's go quickly, we can't keep up."
Qi Changzhao frowned slightly, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.
Shen Li seemed to be deliberately hiding something, deliberately walking very fast, Qi Changzhao had no time to ask, so he had to quickly catch up.
The road in the mountain forest is difficult to walk, the road surface is densely covered with gravel, the roots of thick trees are intertwined, and the fallen leaves rot into mud. In addition to the rain, it is even more muddy and extremely difficult to walk.Shen Li was walking on the mountain road with one deep foot and one shallow foot, when suddenly he stepped on something soft.
He looked down, and saw a small green snake with the width of a thumb passing under his feet, and quickly rushed into the grass.
"Ahhhh-"
Shen Li quickly took a few steps back, his foot slipped, and he was about to fall.Fortunately, Qi Changzhao was not close or far away from him, so he took two steps forward to catch him.
"How do you—"
Shen Li tightly grabbed Qi Changzhao's sleeve, his face was pale, his fingertips were trembling: "Snake...there is a snake..."
Qi Changzhao: "..."
Qi Changzhao was silent for a moment, and finally understood the reason why this man has been out of his mind since he entered the woods.
Why didn't he know before that the majestic Shen Xianzun who dominated the cultivation world in his previous life was actually afraid of snakes?
In this life, Qi Changzhao didn't have many chances to get this person to throw himself into his arms, but at this moment Shen Li was so scared that he couldn't even think of anything else with Qi Changzhao.
He patted Shen Li's vest reassuringly, and looked up, but he didn't see half a snake.
The forest was already overgrown with weeds, even if there were snakes, they were already scared away by Shen Li's shocking cry just now.
Qi Changzhao reassured: "There are no more snakes, don't be afraid."
Trembling, Shen Li raised his head from the lapel of Qi Changzhao's clothes, carefully peeking outside: "... really gone?"
Qi Changzhao: "Not anymore."
Shen Li let go of Qi Changzhao suspiciously, his eyes were still cautiously looking around, his back was tense, as if he was ready to hide behind Qi Changzhao at any time.
Qi Changzhao shook his head, casually picked up a disciple beside him, and ordered: "Pass down the order and rest here for a while."
"Don't." Shen Li held him back, "Let's go quickly, if this continues, we won't be able to make it before dark."
Qi Changzhao looked at his still pale face, and said softly, "It's okay, just rest for a while before leaving."
Shen Li's expression seemed to be ready to cry in a second: "There will be more snakes at night."
Qi Changzhao: "..."
Watching him act pitifully many times, Qi Changzhao couldn't tell whether he was really scared or just pretending again.
However, after walking for more than half a day, even the other disciples' physical strength was a little weak.Shen Li didn't insist too much, and promised to rest in place for a stick of incense before continuing on his way.
There was no place to rest in the forest, so the group managed to find an open space and sat on the grass at will.
Now Shen Li had a psychological shadow on all the grass and rocks, so he didn't dare to sit down, and followed closely behind Qi Changzhao, clutching his sleeve with lingering fear.
Qi Changzhao found a piece of relatively clean bluestone and brushed off the dust on it: "Sit down and drink some water."
Shen Li glanced at the grass behind the bluestone, flinched: "I can't..."
"..." Qi Changzhao coughed lightly, and asked in a low voice, "Since when have you been so afraid of snakes?"
Shen Li looked up at Qi Changzhao's face: "...Did you laugh at me just now?"
Qi Changzhao scowled, "No."
"You're just laughing at me."
Shen Li shrank his shoulders and muttered in a low voice: "The snake is so scary, it's sticky, and it hurts when it bites..."
Qi Changzhao was silent for a moment, took out a pouch from the spirit storage ring, and bent over to help him tie it around his waist: "This thing can repel poisonous insects, snakes and ants. After you wear it, those little things won't come close to you. Is this okay?"
Shen Li was still worried: "Are you sure it works?"
Qi Changzhao fastened his purse, got up and rubbed his soft hair: "It works, don't worry."
With the purse given by Qi Changzhao, no poisonous insects, snakes and ants dared to approach Shen Li along the way, so he was able to relieve his psychological burden.A group of people walked through the forest for more than half an hour, and the surrounding fog became thicker at some point.
Shen Li suddenly stopped in his tracks: "That's not right."
Qi Changzhao turned his head to look at him: "What?"
Shen Li stared at the ground intently, wondering what he was thinking.The ground covered with weeds, rocks, and fallen leaves was no different from usual. He stared at it for a while, then raised his head.Just at this time, a gust of wind passed by, and the leaves on the heads of the people rustled down.
Shen Li raised his hand to catch a few leaves, and the fresh and tender leaves intertwined and overlapped in his palm, turning into a green butterfly all over.
"Go." Shen Li ordered softly, and the spirit butterfly flew forward with fluttering wings, and quickly disappeared into the mist, leaving only a green shadow behind.
Qi Changzhao watched him finish all this, and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything weird in this forest?"
"Let's wait and see." Shen Li replied briefly, without saying much.
Not long after, the sound of the flapping wings of the spirit butterfly resounded in the mist, but this time, it was not in front.
Emerald green spirit butterflies made of leaves appeared from behind the crowd, and lightly landed on Shen Li's palm.
Qi Changzhao squinted his eyes: "Mizhen?"
"That's right." Shen Li closed his palm and pinched it lightly, and the spirit butterfly turned back into a few leaves, which fell from his palm weakly.Shen Li sneered: "It seems that some people don't want us to find the spiritual spring."
Although Shen Li was a sword cultivator in his previous life, his formation skills are also superb.That was something that Qi Changzhao, who later ascended to Mahayana, could not even reach.
Qi Changzhao asked, "Did someone do it on purpose?"
Shen Li: "This formation is based on natural vegetation, trees, mountains and rocks. Those who enter will lose their way. It's either killing the formation or delaying time."
"...Because of the unpredictable nature, this kind of formation will disappear as the vegetation withers and grows, and the rocks change. Sometimes, even a rain may change the direction of the formation, and even make it laugh. Therefore, this kind of formation The law needs someone to constantly repair it, it cannot be the unique phantom array in this swamp forest."
"Is there a way to crack it?"
"Come with me." Shen Li walked forward with a few people, and said, "It's not difficult to crack this formation. As long as you can find the formation eyes in all directions and crack the door of life, you can leave. Of course, there are more The quick way..."
"what way?"
Shen Li didn't answer, his eyes moved slightly, and he walked quickly to a bluestone that was about the height of a three-year-old child, surrounded by vines, and squatted down: "The eye I'm talking about is this thing."
Shen Li casually patted the bluestone, and an imperceptible turquoise pattern emerged on the surface of the bluestone.
"This is what I just detected with the spirit butterfly. If I'm not mistaken, there are ten other things that are the same as this stone. It may be a tree, a rock, or even a fallen leaf. These ten things are in the tenth place. A different formation eye, gathered together, became this magic circle."
Shen Li casually grabbed a handful of fallen leaves, poured spiritual power into them, and opened his palm, the leaf veins could faintly see the spiritual power flowing.
"Take this leaf and look for the eleven formation eyes separately. This leaf will sense the formation eye. When you find it, burn it with a torch, and then come back and join me. Go."
No one thought that this sick young man had such abilities. A group of Shenzong disciples were so shocked by Shen Li's attack that they forgot to react. When they met Qi Changzhao's displeased eyes, they quickly nodded in agreement, took the leaves and left. .
A group of people walked away cleanly, Shen Li looked up at Qi Changzhao: "Why don't you leave?"
"It is enough to let them go, I will stay and protect you."
"There is nothing to protect." Shen Li didn't care, "Go and help the Taoist priest, if you go later later, your spiritual spring is taken by others, I dare not take responsibility."
Qi Changzhao: "Are you really okay?"
Shen Li asked back: "What can I do?"
Qi Changzhao put his arms around his chest, teasingly said: "Then who is hiding in my arms and dare not come out?"
That was really not a good memory, Shen Li's expression changed again and again, with a stern face, he became angry from embarrassment: "Hurry up!"
Qi Changzhao chuckled twice, bent down, and wanted to pick up a leaf with spiritual power from Shen Li's palm.
The cold fingertips slid across Shen Li's palm intentionally or unintentionally, and suddenly a tingle rose from Shen Li's back, and he tilted his head back subconsciously.
He was squatting by the bluestone at this time, Qi Changzhao supported the stone surface with one hand, and reached for his palm with the other, completely enclosing him between the stone and Qi Changzhao's body.
This was an extremely ambiguous gesture, even though Qi Changzhao hadn't returned to his original appearance, Shen Li still could not help but feel that oppressive feeling that made it difficult to breathe.
Qi Changzhao seemed to be teasing him intentionally, his slender fingertips picked and picked in Shen Li's palm, unable to make a decision for a long time.
Shen Li was a little out of breath, and couldn't bear it anymore and said: "It's all the same, when do you want to choose!"
Qi Changzhao finally chose a leaf, and a smiling voice sounded close to Shen Li's ear: "Don't worry, I'll go right away, my little imperial concubine."
"Why don't you let me go!" Inside the inn, Bai Jingxing stopped Shen Li, begging bitterly, "A Li, I have listened to you these few days, and nothing has caused any trouble, just let me go!"
"No." Shen Li didn't show affection at all, "We agreed earlier that you can only stay in Yunyan City and not go into dangerous places."
Shen Li forcefully pulled his sleeves out of Bai Jingxing's clutches, and said in a helpless tone, "How did you promise me back then?"
"But……"
Bai Jingxing looked at Shen Li tearfully, seeing that he was unmoved, he angrily raised his hand and pointed behind Shen Li: "Then why did you take him there!"
Qi Changzhao, who was standing aside watching the play, was suddenly involved and cast an innocent look at Shen Li.
Qi Changzhao didn't have a good impression of these demon cultivators in his heart. According to his original intention, he hoped that Shen Li could send away the disciples of Tianyi Shenzong, and the two of them went to Yunmang Mountain alone.
But who made Shen Li too high-profile when he came to Yunyan City before, most of the immortal sects in Yunyan City already knew about the arrival of Tianyi Shenzong, and now, their sudden withdrawal would easily arouse suspicion.
Shen Li impromptu made up a script of a chance meeting at an inn and hitting it off at first sight, pretending to be friends with Qi Changzhao, so that he would follow Tianyi Shenzong to act together as a matter of course, and be a beautiful oil bottle.
But in this way, Bai Jingxing was not happy.
Bai Jingxing is still young and has a youthful heart. Ever since he met Shen Li, he has always regarded himself as Shen Li's best brother.
He is the only son in his family, and the people around him are either older than him, or treat him with respect because of his status as the Holy Son.It is rare to meet Shen Li who is not only about his age, but also does not treat him differently because of his status, Bai Jingxing naturally cherishes it very much.
When he came to Yunyan City, a strange young man suddenly appeared and made friends with his best friend, and he couldn't be happy with anyone.
Shen Li had no choice but to laugh and curse: "It's all right, you, don't mess around. Don't you look at his cultivation level? If you have half his skills, I won't force you to stay here."
"I..." Bai Jingxing's eyes dimmed.
Shen Li's secret path is not good.
It was only in the past few months that he found out that Bai Jingxing didn't care about Si Liu in the past, but he actually had a lot of self-esteem.However, this person's aptitude is dull and his talent is limited. It usually takes him one or two years, or even three or four years to master the spells that ordinary people can master in only three months.
Bai Jingxing has always been very concerned about his useless qualifications.
Shen Li consciously said something wrong, and patted Bai Jingxing's shoulder, his voice softened: "Jing Xing, didn't you always want to learn Taoism from me? When I go back this time, I will teach you how to practice, okay?"
Bai Jingxing looked up at him, doubtful: "Really? You didn't lie to me, did you?"
"Of course, I won't lie to you."
"That's great, Ah Li!" Bai Jingxing's eyes regained their brilliance, and he said excitedly, "Then I'll wait for you to come back, you have to come back soon!"
Shen Li was so focused on coaxing people that he didn't pay attention to Qi Changzhao's increasingly gloomy face behind him.
He sent a few disciples to stay in the inn to protect Bai Jingxing, and took the rest of the 20 people out of the city.
Qi Changzhao followed everyone with a gloomy face, without saying a word, Shen Li looked back at him several times, and realized that the man was walking slower and slower, and he was about to fall behind.Shen Li thought for a while, then slowed down, and came to Qi Changzhao's side.
Shen Li lowered his voice and asked with a smile: "Why does the Daoist seem to be in a bad mood? What's wrong with you? Let me be happy if you tell me?"
Qi Changzhao snorted coldly: "What does it have to do with you?"
Shen Li: "..."
Has this person eaten early in the morning?
Shen Li thought this person was really interesting.
Since he pierced this person's disguise, Daoist Ji Yun never put on an air in front of him again, deliberately put on that gentle and easy-going appearance.On the contrary, this person has a clear love and hate personality, petty and irritable, but because that face is really irritating, it makes Shen Li feel very real and cute.
Shen Li likes to tease him recently, knowing that he is sulking, and deliberately ignores him.Sure enough, not long after, Qi Changzhao couldn't help but said, "Are you really going to teach that trash Bai Jingxing how to practice?"
Um?Are you angry about this?
Shen Li said slowly: "What kind of trash, here are all people from Tianyi Shenzong, the Taoist priest should be more polite to our Son."
Qi Changzhao didn't speak.
Shen Li said again: "Jing Xing is my friend, not to mention Tianyi Shenzong is kind to me, what's wrong with me teaching him? But you, why do you always have prejudice against Jing Xing?"
Qi Changzhao was silent for a while, then whispered, "People from the Demon Sect..."
Shen Li raised his eyebrows: "Master Taoist, am I still the envoy of Shenzong?"
Qi Changzhao didn't speak again.
It has been raining continuously in Yunyan City for the past few days, and before the group of people left the city, it began to rain again.They all have self-cultivation to protect themselves, so this little rain is nothing, but not everyone thinks so.
"Young Master, Young Master!" A familiar voice came from behind, Shen Li paused, and looking back, he saw Qiao Yun walking quickly in the rain, with a black cloak and an oil umbrella in his arms.
Qiao Yun is an outer disciple of Tianyi Shenzong, his cultivation level is not high, so even if he goes, he won't be able to help him much.Shen Li didn't take him into the mountain, but asked him to stay in the inn to wait.
This person has a handsome and upright appearance, although he can't be said to be extremely outstanding, he is much handsomer than ordinary people.But he happened to have a worry-loving temperament, which fell into Shen Li's eyes, and he had a little more old lady temperament for no reason.
Qiao Yun caught up, shook off the cloak in his hand, and put it on Shen Li: "Young master, why are you wearing so little? It's still raining outside."
Shen Li subconsciously rejected it: "It's just a little rain, it's okay——"
Qiao Yun: "Why don't you get in the way? You forgot the serious illness you suffered when you first arrived at Tianyi Shenzong? Your body is not as good as others, so you have to pay attention."
Qi Changzhao frowned: "Have you been sick before?"
Shen Li pretended not to hear, broke free from Qiao Yun's hand, and tied up the cloak by himself: "You go back quickly, don't worry about me."
Qiao Yun opened the umbrella and said, "I'll take you outside the city. The rain is getting heavier and heavier. I'll hold the umbrella for you."
Shen Li: "No need, how can I be so delicate—"
Before he finished speaking, a hand stretched out from the side, lightly but not resisting the oil umbrella in Qiao Yun's hand.Qi Changzhao put the umbrella on top of Shen Li's head, and said softly, "I'll take care of Ah Li."
Shen Li: "..."
Qiao Yun looked at Shen Li, then at Qi Changzhao, with a little embarrassment in his eyes.
Shen Li raised his forehead: "Little Qiao, go back first, take care of the Son, we will be back soon."
Qiao Yun: "...Yes."
Qiao Yun walked away quickly, Qi Changzhao walked beside Shen Li holding an umbrella, and asked again: "What's wrong with your body?"
"How long ago did this happen..." Shen Li answered casually, tilting his head to see Qi Changzhao's serious expression, changed his voice, and smiled deliberately, "Why, Daoist, you feel sorry for me. Who told me I was weak since I was a child, and after being teased by others before, I was out of breath and fell ill when I first arrived at Tianyi Shenzong, who do you think I can blame?"
Qi Changzhao frowned, and said in a low voice, "Is that so?"
Shen Li said this on purpose for him.
When he first arrived at Tianyi Shenzong, Shen Li's body data had not returned to normal.Coupled with the loss of cultivation in the Chungui Building several times before, and the rush for several days, this sick and weak body finally reached its limit.He started to have a high fever the night he first arrived at Tianyi Shenzong, and he lay on the bed for four or five days straight, looking like he was dying, which scared Bai Jingxing enough.
However, after recovering from that illness, his body data has completely recovered to the level of his previous life.
Shen Li would definitely not say this.
Shen Li pretended to gather the cloak on his shoulders, and wrapped himself tighter as if he was afraid of the cold. Coupled with his naturally pale face, he looked very weak.
"...Can I still lie to you?"
Qi Changzhao's eyes lowered and fell on the other's thin and fair face.
The contours of Shen Li's face tended to be soft, and when he spoke, his eyebrows and eyes were full of expression, which was very contagious, and it would not make people think that he was a sick and weak boy at all.But when he calmed down, his eyes drooped, his slender eyelashes were clearly rooted, and the lips under his tall nose bridge were light in color, revealing a weak temperament.
The delay between the two of them put them far away from the disciples in front of them.It was raining all over the sky, they walked slowly in the haze of misty rain, pedestrians came and went, but the world under the umbrella was silent.
Qi Changzhao stared at his bloodless lips, and gently raised his free hand, as if wanting to put it on his shoulder.
But at this moment, Shen Li turned his head: "Daoist, why are you silent?"
Qi Changzhao's hands stopped abruptly.
He quickly withdrew his hand, looked away abruptly, and said softly, "It's okay, let's go."
Shen Li glanced at him, suddenly a little discouraged.
What's the matter with this person, he sells so hard, this person is actually unmoved, doesn't even know how to feel sorry for him?
Shen Li wrapped her cloak tightly, and buried her face in the warm velvet.
Outside the city, some immortal sects had already set off ahead of schedule, only a few people remained at Changyu Gate, waiting to lead the way for the following sects.
Among them was Elder Chonghua from Changyumen.
Since Shen Li wanted to take the disciples of Tianyi Shenzong to Lingquan, his identity could not be concealed.
Qi Changzhao took the initiative to say that he would handle the matter properly and did not let Shen Li intervene.
Shen Li was so happy that he stopped worrying, and did not ask how he explained the matter to Elder Chonghua.However, judging from the fact that Elder Chonghua did not show any surprise when he saw the two of them appearing in the disciple team of Tianyi Shenzong at the same time, Qi Changzhao had indeed handled the matter properly.
It's just... It would have been better if he didn't show sympathy, pity, and overly loving eyes when he exchanged greetings with Shen Li.
Tianyi Shenzong's carriage slowly left Yunyan City and headed towards Yunmang Mountain.In the carriage, Shen Li endured and endured, and asked Qi Changzhao, "What did you tell that old man Chonghua?"
"What?" Qi Changzhao peeled off the greased paper with his slender fingers, revealing the crystal clear sweet-scented osmanthus cake inside.
——Before leaving, Qi Changzhao specially asked someone to buy it from the best restaurant in the city.
The sweet-scented osmanthus cake is freshly baked, steaming hot and fragrant.
Shen Li stared at the pastry in his hand, cursed inwardly for being so delicate, and asked, "What do you say about our affairs?"
Qi Changzhao didn't raise his head, and said in a low voice: "Although you are a demon, you still have a deep affection for me. You dare not let the people of Tianyi Shenzong know my identity, so you can only use this opportunity to come to Yunyan City to get along with me. I will meet in secret. Please keep it secret, otherwise you will definitely seek death and lose your life."
"Pfft..." Shen Li couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing, "He can believe it just like that, why does he listen to you so much?"
Qi Changzhao put the sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the table, picked up a good-looking piece, put it near his mouth and blew: "Changyu Sect is within the territory of Tianyu Kingdom, and most of the new disciples who join each year are the citizens of Tianyu Kingdom. Moreover, the daily expenses of the sect also require the help of Tianyu Kingdom."
Shen Li understood: "This is called taking people with short hands and eating people with short mouths."
Qi Changzhao looked up at him, and stuffed the cooled snack into his mouth: "Eat yours."
After traveling a hundred miles, the carriage reached the border of Yunmang Mountain.The mountains in the southwest are inherently steep, and the mountains are endless. In addition to the swamp forest surrounded by mist on the Yunmang Mountain, it is impossible for cars and horses to pass, so they can only get out of the car and walk.
A group of people walked into the mountain.
In the dense forest filled with miasma, there are overgrown vegetation, and the tall tree crowns hide the sky and block out the sun.Everyone walked away for most of the day, but they didn't even see the shadow of Lingquan.
"It's really this way, can't we go wrong?" A baby-faced Tianyi Shenzong disciple whispered to his companion.
The other person was a little older than him, and comforted him: "Master Shengshi said that this is the place, just follow along."
"But..." The baby-faced disciple glanced behind him and lowered his voice, "Is the holy envoy good at all? He also doesn't know magic spells. He looks weak, and he won't faint by the side of the road if he walks on." Bar."
"What nonsense are you talking about, don't die."
"Where am I talking nonsense, I am." The baby-faced disciple said, "This holy envoy has no cultivation at all, isn't it because he has a good relationship with the young master, so he is valued by the suzerain? The suzerain is really, send such a disease Yangzi is here, how can we fight with the people from Xianzong..."
Hearing his words, another disciple leaned over his head: "Actually, I also think that the kind of noble son is just enjoying the blessings in the sect. If he has to come here to do something, we have to bother to take care of him..."
"What are you talking about?" A cold voice sounded behind them, and they all trembled and turned their heads.
Qi Changzhao's face was gloomy, and his eyes were piercingly cold.
"Qi, Mr. Qi, we..."
Qi Changzhao didn't listen to these people's explanation, and said coldly: "Let me hear you gossiping behind your back again, and I will personally discipline you on behalf of the envoy."
There was always a fearsome aura about Qi Changzhao, and the aura was even worse when he was stern. Several disciples were so frightened that their legs went limp, and they repeatedly apologized and begged for mercy.
But Shen Li didn't notice this at all.
He walked at the end of the crowd, his eyes lowered, his eyes fixed on the ground in front of him, as if he was walking cautiously.
Suddenly, he crashed head-on into a person's chest.
Shen Li was dizzy from the collision, and when he raised his head, he saw Qi Changzhao standing in front of him with a displeased face: "Why don't you look at the road when you walk?"
Shen Li rubbed his painful forehead, thinking that the road is so wide, this person suddenly appeared in front of him, and he blamed him for not knowing the way, what is the reason?
Shen Li was angry: "Why did you suddenly appear in front of me?"
"I should be asking you that." Qi Changzhao said, "What's the matter with your face, are you tired?"
Shen Li: "No, there's nothing to be tired of walking this far, I'm just—"
"What is it?"
"It's okay." Shen Li waved his hand, and took two quick steps, "Let's go quickly, we can't keep up."
Qi Changzhao frowned slightly, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.
Shen Li seemed to be deliberately hiding something, deliberately walking very fast, Qi Changzhao had no time to ask, so he had to quickly catch up.
The road in the mountain forest is difficult to walk, the road surface is densely covered with gravel, the roots of thick trees are intertwined, and the fallen leaves rot into mud. In addition to the rain, it is even more muddy and extremely difficult to walk.Shen Li was walking on the mountain road with one deep foot and one shallow foot, when suddenly he stepped on something soft.
He looked down, and saw a small green snake with the width of a thumb passing under his feet, and quickly rushed into the grass.
"Ahhhh-"
Shen Li quickly took a few steps back, his foot slipped, and he was about to fall.Fortunately, Qi Changzhao was not close or far away from him, so he took two steps forward to catch him.
"How do you—"
Shen Li tightly grabbed Qi Changzhao's sleeve, his face was pale, his fingertips were trembling: "Snake...there is a snake..."
Qi Changzhao: "..."
Qi Changzhao was silent for a moment, and finally understood the reason why this man has been out of his mind since he entered the woods.
Why didn't he know before that the majestic Shen Xianzun who dominated the cultivation world in his previous life was actually afraid of snakes?
In this life, Qi Changzhao didn't have many chances to get this person to throw himself into his arms, but at this moment Shen Li was so scared that he couldn't even think of anything else with Qi Changzhao.
He patted Shen Li's vest reassuringly, and looked up, but he didn't see half a snake.
The forest was already overgrown with weeds, even if there were snakes, they were already scared away by Shen Li's shocking cry just now.
Qi Changzhao reassured: "There are no more snakes, don't be afraid."
Trembling, Shen Li raised his head from the lapel of Qi Changzhao's clothes, carefully peeking outside: "... really gone?"
Qi Changzhao: "Not anymore."
Shen Li let go of Qi Changzhao suspiciously, his eyes were still cautiously looking around, his back was tense, as if he was ready to hide behind Qi Changzhao at any time.
Qi Changzhao shook his head, casually picked up a disciple beside him, and ordered: "Pass down the order and rest here for a while."
"Don't." Shen Li held him back, "Let's go quickly, if this continues, we won't be able to make it before dark."
Qi Changzhao looked at his still pale face, and said softly, "It's okay, just rest for a while before leaving."
Shen Li's expression seemed to be ready to cry in a second: "There will be more snakes at night."
Qi Changzhao: "..."
Watching him act pitifully many times, Qi Changzhao couldn't tell whether he was really scared or just pretending again.
However, after walking for more than half a day, even the other disciples' physical strength was a little weak.Shen Li didn't insist too much, and promised to rest in place for a stick of incense before continuing on his way.
There was no place to rest in the forest, so the group managed to find an open space and sat on the grass at will.
Now Shen Li had a psychological shadow on all the grass and rocks, so he didn't dare to sit down, and followed closely behind Qi Changzhao, clutching his sleeve with lingering fear.
Qi Changzhao found a piece of relatively clean bluestone and brushed off the dust on it: "Sit down and drink some water."
Shen Li glanced at the grass behind the bluestone, flinched: "I can't..."
"..." Qi Changzhao coughed lightly, and asked in a low voice, "Since when have you been so afraid of snakes?"
Shen Li looked up at Qi Changzhao's face: "...Did you laugh at me just now?"
Qi Changzhao scowled, "No."
"You're just laughing at me."
Shen Li shrank his shoulders and muttered in a low voice: "The snake is so scary, it's sticky, and it hurts when it bites..."
Qi Changzhao was silent for a moment, took out a pouch from the spirit storage ring, and bent over to help him tie it around his waist: "This thing can repel poisonous insects, snakes and ants. After you wear it, those little things won't come close to you. Is this okay?"
Shen Li was still worried: "Are you sure it works?"
Qi Changzhao fastened his purse, got up and rubbed his soft hair: "It works, don't worry."
With the purse given by Qi Changzhao, no poisonous insects, snakes and ants dared to approach Shen Li along the way, so he was able to relieve his psychological burden.A group of people walked through the forest for more than half an hour, and the surrounding fog became thicker at some point.
Shen Li suddenly stopped in his tracks: "That's not right."
Qi Changzhao turned his head to look at him: "What?"
Shen Li stared at the ground intently, wondering what he was thinking.The ground covered with weeds, rocks, and fallen leaves was no different from usual. He stared at it for a while, then raised his head.Just at this time, a gust of wind passed by, and the leaves on the heads of the people rustled down.
Shen Li raised his hand to catch a few leaves, and the fresh and tender leaves intertwined and overlapped in his palm, turning into a green butterfly all over.
"Go." Shen Li ordered softly, and the spirit butterfly flew forward with fluttering wings, and quickly disappeared into the mist, leaving only a green shadow behind.
Qi Changzhao watched him finish all this, and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything weird in this forest?"
"Let's wait and see." Shen Li replied briefly, without saying much.
Not long after, the sound of the flapping wings of the spirit butterfly resounded in the mist, but this time, it was not in front.
Emerald green spirit butterflies made of leaves appeared from behind the crowd, and lightly landed on Shen Li's palm.
Qi Changzhao squinted his eyes: "Mizhen?"
"That's right." Shen Li closed his palm and pinched it lightly, and the spirit butterfly turned back into a few leaves, which fell from his palm weakly.Shen Li sneered: "It seems that some people don't want us to find the spiritual spring."
Although Shen Li was a sword cultivator in his previous life, his formation skills are also superb.That was something that Qi Changzhao, who later ascended to Mahayana, could not even reach.
Qi Changzhao asked, "Did someone do it on purpose?"
Shen Li: "This formation is based on natural vegetation, trees, mountains and rocks. Those who enter will lose their way. It's either killing the formation or delaying time."
"...Because of the unpredictable nature, this kind of formation will disappear as the vegetation withers and grows, and the rocks change. Sometimes, even a rain may change the direction of the formation, and even make it laugh. Therefore, this kind of formation The law needs someone to constantly repair it, it cannot be the unique phantom array in this swamp forest."
"Is there a way to crack it?"
"Come with me." Shen Li walked forward with a few people, and said, "It's not difficult to crack this formation. As long as you can find the formation eyes in all directions and crack the door of life, you can leave. Of course, there are more The quick way..."
"what way?"
Shen Li didn't answer, his eyes moved slightly, and he walked quickly to a bluestone that was about the height of a three-year-old child, surrounded by vines, and squatted down: "The eye I'm talking about is this thing."
Shen Li casually patted the bluestone, and an imperceptible turquoise pattern emerged on the surface of the bluestone.
"This is what I just detected with the spirit butterfly. If I'm not mistaken, there are ten other things that are the same as this stone. It may be a tree, a rock, or even a fallen leaf. These ten things are in the tenth place. A different formation eye, gathered together, became this magic circle."
Shen Li casually grabbed a handful of fallen leaves, poured spiritual power into them, and opened his palm, the leaf veins could faintly see the spiritual power flowing.
"Take this leaf and look for the eleven formation eyes separately. This leaf will sense the formation eye. When you find it, burn it with a torch, and then come back and join me. Go."
No one thought that this sick young man had such abilities. A group of Shenzong disciples were so shocked by Shen Li's attack that they forgot to react. When they met Qi Changzhao's displeased eyes, they quickly nodded in agreement, took the leaves and left. .
A group of people walked away cleanly, Shen Li looked up at Qi Changzhao: "Why don't you leave?"
"It is enough to let them go, I will stay and protect you."
"There is nothing to protect." Shen Li didn't care, "Go and help the Taoist priest, if you go later later, your spiritual spring is taken by others, I dare not take responsibility."
Qi Changzhao: "Are you really okay?"
Shen Li asked back: "What can I do?"
Qi Changzhao put his arms around his chest, teasingly said: "Then who is hiding in my arms and dare not come out?"
That was really not a good memory, Shen Li's expression changed again and again, with a stern face, he became angry from embarrassment: "Hurry up!"
Qi Changzhao chuckled twice, bent down, and wanted to pick up a leaf with spiritual power from Shen Li's palm.
The cold fingertips slid across Shen Li's palm intentionally or unintentionally, and suddenly a tingle rose from Shen Li's back, and he tilted his head back subconsciously.
He was squatting by the bluestone at this time, Qi Changzhao supported the stone surface with one hand, and reached for his palm with the other, completely enclosing him between the stone and Qi Changzhao's body.
This was an extremely ambiguous gesture, even though Qi Changzhao hadn't returned to his original appearance, Shen Li still could not help but feel that oppressive feeling that made it difficult to breathe.
Qi Changzhao seemed to be teasing him intentionally, his slender fingertips picked and picked in Shen Li's palm, unable to make a decision for a long time.
Shen Li was a little out of breath, and couldn't bear it anymore and said: "It's all the same, when do you want to choose!"
Qi Changzhao finally chose a leaf, and a smiling voice sounded close to Shen Li's ear: "Don't worry, I'll go right away, my little imperial concubine."
