There are bandits in Zhongshan

In Yanyu City, Fenghailou is trying to deal with Ding Lingyun's soft and hard entanglement with a strong face and a smile.

"Senior Brother Feng! You must not let go of your life!" If it wasn't for the image of missing him, Ding Lingyun might have hugged Fenghailou's thigh, "Take me back to Yunfu Mountain!"

"I also..." Feng Hailou tried his best to pull his sleeve out of Ding Lingyun's hand, but he was grabbed again just as he pulled it out, "Your father and brother Ling have both greeted Master, and I brought them privately. When you go back to Yunfu Mountain, you are disregarding your teacher's orders, it's not good."

"What's the matter, I don't want to go back to that smoky place!"

"Junior Sister Ding..." Feng Hailou really wanted to help her, but when he thought of the Yunzhong City, he weighed himself a few pounds, like an eggplant beaten by frost. .He also heard rumors in the past few days, it is said that Ye Chenzhou has returned to Yunzhong City, the most surprising thing is his skill.

At that time, many people in Heishuiling saw that Ye Chenzhou was seriously injured, and they felt that he was doomed. Even if he survived by chance, he would probably become a useless person. His wounds were healed, and he no longer needed to cover his face with a mask.

Seeing that he was still alive, someone wanted to make trouble, but he killed him with one blow. The man who made trouble was the head of a separate family, and his cultivation was at the late stage of Nascent Soul. Obviously, Ye Chenzhou's skill has returned to the level before the confrontation with Lu Lin .

The various families in the city who were ready to move no longer dared to act rashly.

Ding Lingyun's father and brother originally planned to stay in Yanfu for a while, but when they heard the news, they planned to return to Yunzhong City immediately, but Ding Lingyun refused, so he had to find a chance to sneak out and ask Fenghailou for help.

If she just came from an ordinary monk family, then Fenghai Louda could just find an excuse to take her away, but the Ding family is a big family in Yunzhongcheng, and at this juncture when the internal strife in Yunzhongcheng is becoming clear, there is a slight difference. One case would be dragged into that muddy water, so Feng Hailou did not dare to act rashly.

When the two were in a stalemate, suddenly a disciple rushed in with a panicked expression, and handed a letter to Feng Hailou, saying: "Brother Feng, I just found this letter at the door, it, it said... ..."

Before he finished speaking, he was already sweating profusely. Seeing this, Feng Hailou quickly took out the letter and read it for himself. He saw the content of the letter clearly at a glance, his body shook, and he lost his voice: "How could this happen!"

"What's the matter?" Ding Lingyun approached curiously, and soon his face changed drastically and he exclaimed, "I remember Fairy Changli and A Zhu left that day?"

The letter said that the teleportation array from Yanlu City to Yunfu Mountain had been secretly altered, and the disciples who had returned to Yunfu Mountain a few days ago were actually sent elsewhere.

Feng Hailou made up his mind, and first ordered the disciple who sent the letter to take the invitation to find Li Langxuan in Zhenbao Pavilion. The person in charge of guarding the teleportation array was a monk from Zhenbao Pavilion. If Li Langxuan went to check, he should be able to find out soon. Who moved hands and feet.

He then sent a letter back to Yunfu Mountain to inform the several peak masters who stayed at the gate.

In this way, he couldn't care about Ding Lingyun anymore, and after sending the letter, he made some arrangements and planned to leave for Yunzhong City immediately.

Fenghailou didn't know that Yun Yi had already left Hexu Mountain, he only knew that his master was not there, he had to act as the suzerain, and he had to go back as soon as possible to find some uncles to discuss how to rescue Changli and others.

"Junior Sister Ding, I'm sorry, I have to go back first, you can rest assured to follow father and brother, they won't make things difficult for you." He was about to go out after speaking, but was stopped by Ding Lingyun, "Junior Sister Ding!"

The matter is very important and cannot be delayed, if Ding Lingyun continues to mess around, even a good-tempered one like him will lose his temper.

Ding Lingyun saw his dissatisfaction, and quickly explained: "No, Brother Feng, don't get me wrong. I just want to say that the road between Yanyu City and Yunfu Mountain is far away, and now the teleportation array is broken again. You don't know how long it will take you to go back with Yujian." .”

"so what?"

"I have a way to get us back to Yunfu Mountain within ten days."

Feng Hailou looked at her suspiciously, and was keenly aware of the key point, "We?"

"Yes, you have to take me with you." Ding Lingyun said calmly.

Several hours later, the sky was getting brighter, and two cloud horses pulled a delicate car and drove out of Yanlu City.

At the same time, thousands of miles away, the poisonous and miasma-filled valley gradually brightened up.

Although it is still relatively dim due to the poisonous miasma blocking out the sun, it is enough to see things.

Cheng Xun left a few lines of writing in the cave, in case other disciples were overwhelmed by the news, he then led the other three to find their way out of the valley.

Jiang Linzhao was able to move on his own, but his strength was not as good as before, so he and Zhong Mingzhu walked in the middle, Cheng Xun took the lead, and Changli followed at the end.

The terrain here is very strange, as if it was randomly hacked by someone with an axe, there are stretches of stone forests, there are also lonely hills, cracks, caves and the like abound, like a maze.

The light during the day is much brighter than at night, but the sun is not visible, so it is difficult to tell the direction. Cheng Xun can only walk as far away from the cave as possible, leaving marks along the way.

This strange terrain seems to have no end. Although the four of them did not have swords, their footsteps were far beyond ordinary people, but they walked for five or six days without going out of the valley. It was not until the dawn of the fourth day that a mountain was getting closer. , not like those mountain shadows that were always hidden in the distance like seeing those mountain shadows a few days ago.

"That might be the way out." Cheng Xun said.

Several people quickened their pace, but when they got closer, Cheng Xun suddenly caught a glimpse of an arrow on the ground, which was the mark he left along the way, and immediately became suspicious.

Zhong Mingzhu also saw it, pointed to the arrow and said, "Hey, this mark is similar to the one left by Uncle Cheng before."

As soon as she said it, Chang Li and Jiang Linzhao also found out, and immediately became a little more vigilant.

"Could it be that someone wants to confuse the direction?" Jiang Linzhao said, Cheng Xun nodded, telling them to pay more attention to their surroundings, and to be more careful when identifying their own directions, lest they be led away elsewhere.

Afterwards, they saw several arrows one after another, but Cheng Xun ignored them and headed in the same direction. After walking for a while, the mountain was already in front of them.Cheng Xun and Jiang Linzhao both exclaimed in surprise.

I saw a narrow entrance leading to the mountain, isn't that the cave they stayed in at first!

Cheng Xun stared blankly at the entrance of the cave, then raised his head to look at the unchanging poisonous miasma, and said in disbelief, "Why are you spared?"

When he saw the mark, he thought it was someone hiding in the dark, trying to confuse their direction with the mark, but he didn't expect that the mark was really carved by himself.

After walking for seven days and seven nights, they actually made a big circle and returned to the original place.

"I'm afraid..." Jiang Linzhao looked around at the chaotic rocks, with a sad expression on his face, "There is a lost trace array set up here."

In the next few days, they—mainly Cheng Xun and Jiang Linzhao—thought of various ways to break out.

They first tried the small teleportation array they carried, but found that it didn't work at all.

Afterwards, Cheng Xun opened the barrier, containing the detoxifying elixir, trying to see if he could get out of the poisonous miasma, but he only lasted for less than a day, the barrier collapsed, and he had to fall back to the ground.

It seems that the upper layer of poisonous miasma is also part of this lost trace, so it can't see the head all the way up.It is a bit like the city wall of Yanlue City, except that the city wall still has an end, but the poisonous miasma here is endless. When you are in it, you can only see a vast expanse of whiteness around you, and it is difficult to recognize where you are.

That mountain is always straight up, and the top of the mountain is never visible.

Afterwards, they planned to venture into the Lost Formation again. Cheng Xun ordered Changli and Zhong Mingzhu to wait in place. He and Jiang Linzhao walked in different directions in front of the cave, leaving marks every few steps. This time they They walked extremely slowly, fearing that they would deviate from the direction, but after ten days, the two came back one by one.

In fact, Zhong Mingzhu and Chang Li also left in the middle, but Zhong Mingzhu suggested that she wanted to find out the truth. She wanted to go alone, but Chang Li felt that if she encountered danger, she might not be able to handle it. followed.

Along the way, Zhong Mingzhu was looking left and right, sketching something out of thin air from time to time, while Chang Li followed her quietly. Seeing that Zhong Mingzhu seemed to be thinking about something, she didn't bother her, the two of them didn't draw. What road signs and imprints, keep going forward, and come back in five days.

When Cheng Xun came back and saw them there, he didn't expect that they actually left and came back.He got nothing this time, but he still didn't give up. He wanted to try again, and when he was about to leave, he heard Zhong Mingzhu say: "There is no need to try again. If this Lost Formation can be easily walked out, it will not be able to trap people."

"Then do you have a solution!" Cheng Xun was in a very bad mood, seeing her indifferent appearance, he couldn't help being angry from the heart, and scolded, "People in my Tianyi Sect have never had the reason to stand still!"

Zhong Mingzhu said with a smile: "I didn't say to stand by and wait for death, but to break the formation, you must first find a way out."

Cheng Xun went down the mountain and Zhong Mingzhu hadn't gotten started yet. He only knew that Yun Yi was good at deducing formations. Seeing Zhong Mingzhu say this, his expression didn't soften at all. He saw that Zhong Mingzhu was a direct disciple of Changli, and he always thought that she must be cultivating. The way of the sword is the main thing, so I subconsciously believed that she was talking sarcasticly at this time, so I said bluntly: "And you know how to find the way? Stop talking nonsense."

Chang Li suddenly said calmly: "She has obtained the true biography of Senior Brother Yun."

During the 100 years of learning art on the mountain, Zhong Mingzhu didn't care much about swordsmanship, but he was very interested in the technique of talisman formations. Changli saw Cheng Xun speak ill of Zhong Mingzhu, so he explained to her in this way, "True Biography "The two words were not fabricated by her out of thin air. Yun Yi once praised Zhong Mingzhu in front of her, that's what she said. She didn't pay attention at that time, but now that she thinks about it, she just said that.

As a result, Cheng Xun became suspicious. Seeing that Changli's expression was as usual and he did not seem to be lying, he asked Zhong Mingzhu, "Then tell me, how do you find the way?"

Zhong Mingzhu summoned Zhu Mingtie, and said in a loud voice: "The formation is closely related to the terrain, orientation and the natural spiritual power trend contained in it. If you want to break the formation, you must first figure out what the surrounding area looks like, so I have to trouble Uncle Cheng and City Master Jiang." Let's go again." She made a secret, and two pieces of Zhu Mingtie flew into the hands of Cheng Xun and Jiang Linzhao respectively, and then said: "But this time, I may have to go to more places, instead of just going to one place like before. Direction. If you go to the place where the spiritual energy condenses, this Zhu Mingtie will shine brightly, but you need to remember the terrain with a radius of ten feet around that place as the center. When you two return, I can try to melt this valley into In the map of the constellations, look for a way to crack it."

Cheng Xun looked at the red gold medal in his hand, feeling quite unconvinced, but at this moment Jiang Linzhao said: "Friend Cheng, it's okay for us to go again, maybe we will find a way out by mistake."

Seeing him smoothing things over, Cheng Xun thought to himself: Although I don't know if this apprentice Changli really got the true biography of Senior Brother Yun, but up to now, I have no other way, why not just follow her advice and treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

So he nodded with a stern face, and then left first. Jiang Linzhao smiled at Changli, telling her to be more careful, then picked a direction at random, and walked away in a short time.

One person was left in the same place to meet the disciples who might be transferred here. Among the three Nascent Soul cultivators, Chang Li had the lowest level of cultivation, and because she was Zhong Mingzhu's master, it was convenient for her to take care of her, so she was left behind every time. , She thought to herself that there was no movement in the past few days. If more people went to check the terrain, maybe they could break the formation earlier, so she asked Zhong Mingzhu: "Do you want me to go too?"

Zhong Mingzhu waved his hand and said, "It's not necessary." Then he drew 28 constellations on the ground.

Changli thought about what she meant by "not necessary", and hesitated: "Senior brother Cheng and City Lord Jiang are necessary?" As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Zhong Mingzhu touch her nose and said, "Of course it is necessary of."

Looking at Zhong Mingzhu's fingertips rubbing against the bridge of his nose, something flashed in Chang's heart.

"You touched your nose," she said.

"What about touching your nose?" Zhong Mingzhu just put down his hand, and when he heard her say this, he unconsciously raised his hand again, and suddenly realized that his hand froze.

Chang Li thought for a while, then slowly said: "Aren't you telling the truth?" She hesitated at first, but later she became sure, "Brother Cheng and the others don't really need to go again."

Every time Zhong Mingzhu felt uncomfortable, he would touch his nose, especially when he was caught playing a prank.

—Why didn't I notice it before.

Recently, Changli always had such thoughts. She looked at Zhong Mingzhu, her lips were unconsciously tightened, and her expression was exactly the same as after hearing about Nanming.

After a while, she said, "Why did you do this?"

As soon as the words fell, she heard Zhong Mingzhu sighed quietly, and later, a soft voice came to her ears: "Master Cheng can blow his beard and stare at me, so can't I reciprocate?"

"Reciprocating peaches and plums doesn't mean that." Changli corrected subconsciously, and then fell silent.

What Zhong Mingzhu meant was that before taking revenge on Cheng Xun, she couldn't help but say that she vented her anger on her. After thinking for a while, she felt that Cheng Xun's behavior was indeed wrong and unreasonable, but it was also unreasonable for Zhong Mingzhu to deceive his elders, and Jiang Linzhao was innocent.

There seemed to be a few strands of thin threads tangled in one place in her mind, twisted into a ball, no matter how she combed it, she couldn't sort it out.

"Senior brother Cheng is wrong... You shouldn't treat him like this..." She whispered this sentence in a daze.

"Then what should I do? Could it be that he will apologize to me if I tell him?" Zhong Mingzhu's voice was a little cold.

Changli clenched her hands tightly, said "I", and then stopped, subconsciously, she felt that she didn't like this kind of behavior, but as Zhong Mingzhu said, would Cheng Xun apologize?Chang Li didn't know, she thought it was a matter of course, but Zhong Mingzhu questioned it so much, she was not so sure.

The doubts became more and more intense, she suddenly heard Zhong Mingzhu sigh, she raised her head, and found that those slightly shallow eyes were in front of her at some point, she was immersed in her own thoughts, but she didn't realize it.

"This is what I want to do." Zhong Mingzhu said, "You can also do what you want."

There was another long silence.

After an unknown amount of time, Chang Li lowered his eyes and said softly, "I will explain to Senior Brother Cheng when he comes back."

"Okay." Helplessness appeared on Zhong Mingzhu's face, and then she smiled lightly. After that, she pinched Changli's hand and stuffed a few spirit stones into her hand, "Come and help me set up the formation."

Changli nodded, and lined up the star map with her on the ground. About halfway through the line, she saw Zhong Mingzhu touch his nose again suddenly, and the soft voice came again:

"Actually, it's not completely unnecessary. When I left for the first time, I didn't see some places clearly."

Changli quickly grasped the key point: "You knew it back then?"

"I made a rough guess."

"Why didn't you say it then?"

Zhong Mingzhu suppressed a smile and said, "If I had said it then, Uncle Cheng would probably accuse me of talking nonsense."

"I'll tell him too."

"Okay, okay, but if Uncle Cheng gets angry and wants to teach me a lesson, Master, you have to help me stop him, old man."

Changli let out a "hmm", the sky was getting dark, and another day was drawing to a close, she looked up at the poisonous miasma hovering above her head, and suddenly said suspiciously: "The poison seems to be closer."

Zhong Mingzhu also looked up, as expected.

Now the miasma looks less like a cloud than it did at first.

Because it is lowered a lot.
