There are bandits in Zhongshan

Even though it is separated from the outside world by the thick rock formations, the cave hidden deep in the mountain is still very cold, and the burning bonfire can only slightly improve the situation, and in the large corners where there is no light, the cold still reaches directly. bottom of my heart.

Chang Li stared intently at the dancing flames not far away, and from time to time there were ripples in the ancient well-like black eyes, which were obviously extremely weak emotions, but as far as she was concerned, it was not due to the stormy waves.She had no idea what kind of situation she was in. She had no doubts in Zhong Mingzhu, but the other party's words a few days ago tore a hole in that firm trust. Although it was small, it was enough to make people suspicious. breed.

——In this world of comprehension, everyone really yearns to embark on the immortal journey.

She sighed softly.

Zhong Mingzhu was not there, and there was only one person in the huge cave, Changli, dressed in a thin white shadow, as if he would be swallowed by a huge shadow at any time.

I don't know what kind of agreement Zhong Mingzhu reached with Li Yang that day, but in the end it was Li Yang who left first with the remnants of his clan. They took Zhong Mingzhu's token and went to Nanming Villa to seek refuge, and left the cave where they hid to Zhong Mingzhu He Changli, besides that, also kept all the Zhan Tie that he brought with him when he fled.Zhong Mingzhu said that the terrain here is hidden, and the lake water serves as a natural barrier, making it an excellent hiding place. But so to speak, she didn't stay for long, and left after setting up the enchantment.

After going there for more than ten days, there was no news at all.

It should be to arrange the teleportation formation, Chang Xin said, but his hand couldn't help but caressed his forehead.

There is a crimson flame imprint, which is one of the many barriers Zhong Mingzhu arranged, and it is also the most complicated one. It covers the original cinnabar mole, and it looks like blood oozing from the skin.Zhong Mingzhu said that this dharma seal could protect her well, but the tingling sensation from there from time to time made Chang Li feel indescribably anxious.

The pain can be mild or severe, sometimes negligible, and severe because the head is torn apart, and she can't even tell whether the pain comes from the imprint left by Zhong Mingzhu, or because of the original headache.When it was the worst, it seemed as if two forces were competing in her body, clamoring to crush everything. At that time, even if she couldn't bear it and lost consciousness, she would soon be awakened by the severe pain again.

She once thought about going to Zhong Mingzhu, but soon discovered that the barrier Zhong Mingzhu arranged could not only prevent others from intruding from the outside, but also prevent people inside from leaving.

On the outside, it is a fortress, and on the inside, it is a cage.

Why……

After discovering this, the slight chill in Chang's heart instantly spread to his limbs and bones.

But she could only walk back to the original place, waiting for the torment that would strike again at an unknown time.

will it end

will it end?

"Why are you the only one, what about the others?"

Yu Yuan glanced at the monk who was kneeling in front of him with his forehead tightly pressed against the ground, his eyes turned cold.

The cultivator felt her unhappiness, tremblingly raised his head, and then hit the ground even harder. He only had the cultivation base of Nascent Soul, and he was walking on thin ice in front of Dongxu's power. At this time, his voice was so trembling that he could hardly distinguish the original sound. : "That guy is full of tricks, I, we were led into the monster's lair by her, and only I, I escaped alone."

Ever since he discovered that Zhong Mingzhu had brought Changli to the vicinity of Zhuoguang Mountain, Yuyuan had already dispatched half of his people to bring Changli back, but the results were unsatisfactory.

She knew that Changli was in Qiaoming Mountain at this time, so it could be said that she was very close, but she couldn't go any further.

Zhong Mingzhu set up a lost trace formation. They knew that Changli was there, but once they stepped into the formation, they could only circle around in it, and they could never enter the mountainside.Moreover, Zhong Mingzhu should have used the cutting iron of the Huozheng clan to hide the spiritual power flow and turning points of the lost formation. Even the most skilled monks under her command could not find a way to break the formation.

If they wanted to break through the maze, they could only search the surroundings inch by inch, destroying everything, but they didn't have that much time at all.Or gather the strength of everyone to destroy the whole mountain, but in this way, Changli may be buried, and the sword furnace under Zhuoguang Mountain may also be affected-the refining of Feixiantai is at a critical moment , can not have the slightest risk.

In this way, there is only one solution left, grab Zhong Mingzhu, and force her to solve the maze.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Mingzhu was so familiar with the terrain of Shuoyuan, he would sneak attack or set traps, making the searching monks miserable.If she encounters someone she can't deal with, she will run away immediately, and the monks who can't walk against the wind in Shuoyuan will naturally not be able to catch up with her.After more than ten days, the monks sent by Yu Yuan not only got nothing, but lost a lot.

Everyone is anxious, but helpless.

Yu Yuan thought in his heart: Although the cultivation base of Yuanying cultivator is low and insignificant, if there is too much loss, it will be unfavorable in the future, and it is necessary to find a way to deal with it as soon as possible.

At this time, the monk kneeling on the ground glanced at her cautiously, struggled for a long time and said, "Fairy, to tell the truth, I fell into the hands of that devil, but she said she wanted me to tell you a word, so she sent her I let it go, let it go."

"What did she want to say?" Yu Yuan said expressionlessly, his aura suddenly became sharper.

The cultivator was a little out of breath from the vainly increased spiritual pressure, and after a while he continued: "She, she said that she is waiting for you at the top of the mountain."

"Oh? She's not afraid of death." Yu Yuan sneered.

"She also said... that it has been arranged. If she makes a slight mistake, the formation eye will be destroyed, and the formation eye, the formation eye is..." The monk was already dripping with cold sweat, "Yes, it is Fairy Changli... ..."

Yu Yuan's pupils shrank abruptly, and the original calmness on his face disappeared: "What!" His sleeves fluttered, as if angry, "How dare she!"

The cultivator didn't dare to breathe out, even though his eyes were blackened by the strong spiritual power, he still pressed his head firmly against the ground, for fear that if he didn't relax, he would be killed.After an unknown amount of time, when he felt that he was about to lose his hold, that spiritual power suddenly disappeared, and there was no one in front of him.

There was a faint broken sound coming from a distance, he didn't dare to go into it, and fled away like a fly.

People who practice Taoism are most afraid of being overwhelmed by emotions. After many years of practice, Yu Yuan has already learned not to be surprised. Now he is only one step away from everything, but when he is caught by an extremely tricky guy, she has no way to deal with it. Burning with anger.

"I knew today..." She restrained the urge to unreservedly explode her spiritual power, almost gnashing her teeth every word, "I shouldn't have kept her."

At the beginning, before Zhong Mingzhu regained his memory, it was easy for Yu Yuan to get rid of her, but at that time, no one paid attention to a little-known little disciple, who merely built a foundation and cultivated himself like an ant. No one cared, but in the end they paid a heavy price for this arrogance.She didn't realize it was wrong until Liuhe Pagoda collapsed, but it was too late by then.

"Do you think he's telling the truth?" she asked into the void.

As soon as the words fell, the black robe quietly appeared behind her as usual, and a hoarse voice came: "Only Zhong Mingzhu knows this."

"That's right." Yu Yuan said softly, "I almost forgot, she has always been a lunatic."

I can't see through it, I can't figure it out, and I can't figure it out with ordinary people's reasoning.

No matter how absurd the method is, it will not be surprising if it comes from her hands.

This was the case when he plotted against Tian Yizong back then, and it is also the case now.

On Qiaoming Mountain, the wind and snow never stop, no matter how bright the colors are, they will appear gray. Suddenly, a light of fire pierced the gloomy sky, and I saw a figure slid neatly into the narrow ice crevice, and then gave a satisfied expression. He sighed: "Ah, I did not guess wrong."

I saw a large piece of crimson blooming, dyeing the ice wall with a fire-like color.

It is dragon blood grass.

This is already the third dragon's blood grass that Zhong Mingzhu found on Qiaoming Mountain. When she was healing her wounds, she thought that the Great God Zhulong came back wounded, and there might be more than one place of dragon's blood spilled on Qiaoming Mountain. It really was as she expected .

At that time, most of the dragon's blood grasses were all over the top of the mountain, but they were all buried under the ice and snow later.

She took out a blue jade talisman, drew strange runes on the ground, and introduced the power of the dragon's blood grass into the jade talisman. times, or even dozens of times, the spiritual power.

Although the dragon's blood grass contains ancient power, ordinary monks cannot use it directly, just like the merman's blood in Ruoye's body, if it is not refined, it will only be highly poisonous to monks.However, because Zhong Mingzhu's power belongs to the same category as the dragon's blood grass, he can directly use it for his own use.

"It's also thanks to Li'er, otherwise I would have been caught without a fight." She smiled wryly, with a flash of worry in her shallow eyes.

At that time, although she herself mentioned the Dragon Blood Grass, she didn't expect much, and she didn't expect to be found by Chang Li.But when she thought about the situation that day, she was still a little scared. At that time, she only had to slow down for a moment, and Chang Li would end up in pieces.

Recalling the scene that came into view at that time, she couldn't help sighing softly: "It's always so desperate."

These days, she is always in a subtle conflict. On the one hand, she hopes that Changli can be more sophisticated, because only in this way can she protect herself well in the midst of the storm; on the other hand, she clearly knows that if it is true In that case, long distance is not long distance.

It would be great if there was a little more time, if only Lu Lin and the others were called together at that time, it would not be so passive now——

But time is running out, and she is a bit powerless to contain Yu Yuan's subordinates by herself. Instead of hoping that Lu Lin and others will arrive in time, it is better to control the situation by herself as much as possible.

She looked at the ice cave that had become deserted after losing the dragon's blood grass, and there was always a flash of sadness in her cold eyes.

"That's the only way..."

There was always a price to pay, her own, and Chang Li's.

There was a sudden fluctuation of spiritual power in the distance that was different from the past, and the corner of Zhong Mingzhu's lips curled into a sneer: "It's coming."

With a flash of her figure, she turned into a stream of fire and fell into the cold wind in an instant. After a few detours, she walked to the highest point and landed lightly on the ground. She raised her eyebrows, saluted the blue figure in the distance with a smile, and said in her mouth: "Oh, Fairy Yuyuan is here, even though she is not fluffy, she is still shining brightly."

"Zhong Mingzhu, you asked me to come here, what do you want to say." Yu Yuan didn't have any extra words, and just opened his mouth to clarify the purpose of coming.

"Oh, the fairy is straightforward." Zhong Mingzhu showed no fear in the face of Yu Yuan's intimidating aura, walked slowly to Yu Yuan not far away, and continued, "I want to make a deal with the fairy."

"What deal."

"It's very simple." Zhong Mingzhu said, "As long as the fairy eliminates one person for me, I will immediately withdraw from the maze."

"Why do you think you have the confidence to negotiate terms with me?" Yu Yuan said coldly.

"Since the fairy will come to the appointment, I will naturally have the confidence." Zhong Mingzhu is still calm, "This maze is arranged using Tianyizong's Xuanmen secret technique. You can ask him to come, but now..." She shook her head pretending to regret, "It's quite difficult to break through."

"It's just a labyrinth, even Qiaoming Mountain is destroyed."

"But the fairy hopes that Li'er will be intact, and it's best not to lose even a single hair?" Zhong Mingzhu squinted his eyes, as if thinking, and soon smiled again, "What is the ruin of Qiao Mingshan?" It's not difficult, but Li'er is still at the bottom of the mountain, does the fairy have no worries?"

Yu Yuan was silent for a moment, then said again: "You have protected Chang Li time and time again, but now you suddenly change your mind, how can I believe it."

Zhong Mingzhu smiled: "At that time, I thought that the fairy would be bad for her, so of course I had to obstruct it. Now that I know the purpose of the fairy, and I know that you have no intention of harming her, you will not stick to the old idea." She glanced Looking at Yu Yuan's complexion, he continued: "Besides, what Fairy and others want is exactly what I want, why don't you take the shortcut and go looking for trouble?"

"How do you know." Yu Yuan's expression didn't soften in the slightest, and he examined Zhong Mingzhu, trying to find some flaws in her face.

"The Huozheng clan, and those sharks in the East China Sea." Speaking of this, Zhong Mingzhu noticed that Yu Yuan's brows twitched slightly, and knew that he had found the right direction, "They have hidden a lot of secrets."

"You even know who the shark is." Yu Yuan suddenly took a step forward, and his spiritual power poured towards Zhong Mingzhu mercilessly.

In the next moment, a red lotus-like flame sprang out from the ground, covering Zhong Mingzhu within it, opening a gap in Yu Yuan's spiritual power, just enough to accommodate Zhong Mingzhu, protecting him from any damage.

Yu Yuan was slightly startled when she saw this, she was going to catch Zhong Mingzhu by surprise, but she was not expecting him to be prepared.

That person is cunning by nature, and in this way, I am afraid there will be no second chance, she thought to herself, seeing Zhong Mingzhu already had the intention of leaving, she couldn't help but blurted out: "Who do you want to get rid of?"

Zhong Mingzhu had gone away, and when he heard Yu Yuan's call, he burst into laughter immediately, with undisguised contempt in his eyes: "The fairy is really thoughtful." She stood in the wind, her robe fluttering, her body was shaking. He remained motionless as if walking on the ground, and then said a name to Yu Yuan.

"Why?" A trace of obvious confusion flashed across Yu Yuan's face.

"Why? Back then, everyone said that Lu Li liked to kill innocent people indiscriminately, so why should I take my life?" Zhong Mingzhu's smile revealed a bit of cruelty, "If you have to say it, I think He's not happy, that's okay."

Yu Yuan didn't answer, but showed a pensive expression. At this moment, the top of the mountain shook suddenly.She immediately turned her head to look at the source of the shock, and her expressionless face suddenly showed a look of shock, and the next moment, there was only a phantom left in the original place.

"Ah, so fast." Zhong Mingzhu looked in the same direction, showing surprise.

Obviously something happened in Zhuoguang Mountain, and the shock just now came from there.

Seeing Yu Yuan's appearance should be beyond her expectations, could it be that someone else is tripping her up?Zhong Mingzhu thought to himself, but soon burst into a weak smile.

"Forget it, let's not worry about it so much." She said to herself, then fell to the ground lightly, staggered a few times before standing still, spread her palms, looked at the Kunlun jade in her palm, and sighed again.

There was already a crack on the blue jade talisman.

Yu Yuan didn't want her life, but if she hadn't been well-prepared for the blow just now, she would have been seriously injured.

"I'm afraid it will be uglier than death." She put away the Kunlun jade, and once again turned into flowing fire and hid in the wind and snow.

It has been almost half a month, and Changli looked at the bonfire with a dazed expression.

Sometimes she couldn't help wondering whether the experience of the previous month was just a dream, just like when she opened her eyes in the dark ancestral hall, her mind was full of broken pictures, and this moment may just be a repeat of the original situation.

The jade document on his waist suddenly flickered, and soon, a familiar voice came into the spiritual sea.

Listening to the sound transmission, she was surprised at first, and then, anxiety emerged, and the hands on her lap unconsciously clenched more and more.

At this moment, the pain in her forehead suddenly struck again, and she couldn't help letting out a short cry. Before she could habitually touch that spot, she was taken away by the sharp pain.The fire in front of her eyes was replaced by overwhelming darkness, and she could even hear the rattling of bones.

These days, the headache has become more and more severe every time. Compared with the unbearable degree when she was a child, it is almost not worth mentioning now. Every time the pain is so painful that she faints, she feels that this may be the most serious one, but it often happens soon There will be more painful torture.

Not only when is the end.

After another long torture, she slowly opened her eyes, and she couldn't help thinking: Is it better not to wake up?

It didn't take long for her to realize that she was not sleeping on the cold ground this time. She was sleeping on someone's lap, surrounded by a familiar breath, and one hand was gently rubbing the acupuncture points on the back of her head, as if she wanted to To relieve the pain of stasis.

"A Zhu..." she murmured, instead of getting up, she closed her eyes again exhausted.

"Well, it's me." A soft voice came from above.

as usual.

But it seemed like something was different.

Not long ago, the voice from the jade tablet suddenly entered his mind, Chang Li suddenly opened his eyes, subconsciously covered the jade tablet with his hands, and said hurriedly: "Have you finished your work?"

"Not yet." Zhong Mingzhu glanced at the jade document that symbolized the identity of the disciple of Tianyi Sect, and his complexion faintly gloomy, "But I got very good information."

Changli turned his head away, wanting to see Zhong Mingzhu's appearance, but his eyes were blocked by the palms covering his eyes.

"It will be fine soon." Zhong Mingzhu said, possessing himself and kissing Chang Li gently, "everything will be fine."

The sweet voice seems to be bewitching.
