Yu Hongchen

The group of casual cultivators walked to the foot of the mountain and came to a cave full of weeds, which was one of the entrances of the underground cave——Thousand Shadow Wall.

Before entering, Shang Lixing and the casual cultivators behind him gave detailed instructions on entering the cave, such as not to act alone, not to act without reason, and the disciples need to take care of each other, etc.He said something, and Qi Huan responded loudly, as if others didn't know how obedient he was. If you leave the line.

Suddenly heard the sound of frightened birds behind him, Shang Lixing's words were interrupted, everyone looked back together, saw the leaves in the forest tremble, suddenly fell a blue figure, and fell straight to the ground.Ji Qing saw the figure clearly, and exclaimed, with obvious surprise in his voice, he hurried over and helped the man on the ground up: "Why are you here?"

The man lying on the ground was Qu Kongqing who had escaped secretly in Tianyi Pavilion, and he suddenly appeared here for some reason, and his face was as usual, clearly not drunk at all.Clenching Ji Qing's arm tightly with the palm of his hand, he looked at Ji Qing intently: "It can be regarded as finding you."

He looked at Ji Qing's eyes without any concealment, and Qi Huan watched with trepidation in his heart: "Master, who is this person? Why are you looking at Ji Qing like that."

He Suowu's eyes changed completely, and the uncontrollable killing intent was about to burst out again, Shang Lixing stabilized him in time, and said, "He Suowu, don't be impulsive."

Ji Qing looked at Qu Kongqing's fiery eyes, his eyelids trembled, his face flushed instantly, he was so frightened that he hurriedly threw him off, Qu Kongqing was caught off guard and fell to the ground, yelling "ah" in a low voice One sound.Ji Qing came back to his senses and helped him up again, only to realize that he had broken a leg, and he couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "You, what's the matter with you?"

Qu Kongqing just smiled faintly, and looked at Ji Qing gently: "I finally saw you again. I fell off the tree as soon as I was happy." He was obsessed with alcohol, and the corners of his eyes were full of wet spring all the year round. The look in people's eyes became very affectionate.

Ji Qingdeng didn't even know where to put his hands and feet, his face was hot for a while, but he lowered his head shyly, and asked in a low voice: "You, why did you appear here?"

Qu Kongqing leaned half of his body on him, let Ji Qing help him over, and spoke in his ear, with a bit of aggrieved voice: "I went to Qiushuimen to look for you, but I couldn't find anyone anywhere. Said that you came to the border, and I followed, the road was full of thorn forests, my clothes were all torn, look." As he spoke, he lifted up the hem of his clothes, insisting on letting Ji Qing see Take a look.

Hearing his rambling words, Ji Qing was suddenly surprised and delighted, all kinds of sweet and bitter tastes came to his heart at the same time. He has come from half his life, with ordinary background and ordinary cultivation. Ji Rou, who ever cared so much for him?This Qu Kongqing, known as "The Prodigal", acted for no reason, but he was the first person to treat him so well.

He helped Qu Kongqing to the casual cultivator team, and everyone automatically made way for them. Shang Lixing came over and took a look: "It's okay, it's just a minor injury, and it will be fine after a few days of cultivation."

Ji Qingdao: "Master, I'll take him to the foot of the mountain first, let Fu Yangsheng and others take care of him." Before Shang Lixing could answer, Ji Qing's sleeves tightened, but it was Qu Kongqing who grabbed his arm , with a low voice: "I don't want to go, I want to follow you in."

Ji Qing frowned and said, "But you were injured..."

Qu Kongqing immediately jumped up, made a few sharp and powerful moves on the spot, and smiled at Ji Qing: "Look, I'm fine, really, I won't drag you down." Ji Qing chuckled After coming out, Shang Lixing said: "Since Fellow Daoist Qu wants to follow, just follow. It's just that after entering, it's not like staying outside. You must obey my orders for everything."

Qu Kongqing nodded hastily, and said: "That's natural, even my old man listens to the sect master, and I certainly do too."

He Suowu, who was standing by the side, was unwilling, and said, "Sect Master, how can we allow outsiders to participate in our trip to investigate the Qianzhong Shadow Wall?"

Shang Lixing said seriously: "How could Pavilion Master Qu's only son be an outsider? He Suowu, don't let me hear such words again." He Suowu knew he had made a slip of the tongue, so he immediately admitted his mistake and kept silent.

Qi Huan watched him carefully for a long time, and said: "So you are the 'Deng Tuzi' from the Master Qu's house, tsk tsk," he kept looking back and forth at Ji Qing and Qu Kongqing's bodies that were tightly pressed together, with playful eyes , "It looks good, I recognized it for Ji Qing."

Ji Qing blushed again: "Qi Huan, don't talk nonsense!"

"Okay, don't gossip," Shang Lixing urged again without wanting to delay, "Let's go in quickly. Ji Qing, you will be in charge of Fellow Daoist Qu." Ji Qing responded slowly and softly, He stabilized Qu Kongqing's body a little, and felt that he was at the end of the team.

Everyone followed Shang Lixing's figure into the bed one by one, the light in front of them dimmed instantly, the soil under their feet was soft, the rocks were craggy, and it was dark and gloomy. Fortunately, monks have always had excellent eyesight, so they can move forward calmly without relying on candlelight.Shang Lixing led the way, Qi Huan followed closely behind, He Suowu was in the middle of the team to protect and support, forty or fifty monks followed one after another, the road in the middle of the cave was sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, and the wide part could accommodate three or four people walking in parallel , the narrowest part allows one person to pass sideways, and the sound of water droplets echoes from time to time in the distance, empty and low.

After half a cup of tea, the cave in front of me became steeper and narrower. The cave was desolate and cold, and the cold wind was blowing. Affected by the heavy atmosphere, the group of monks was quiet, with Ji Qing and Qu Kongqing at the end. I didn't know what to say with my head down, talking and laughing, and the sound of talking and laughing spread all the way to the front of the team.

While exploring the way, Shang Lixing listened to Ji Qing's voice: "You didn't drink today?" Qu Kongqing smiled and said: "No."

Ji Qing wondered, "Why?"

Qu Kongqing sighed and said, "Hey, drinking was a mistake. I was caught by my old man several times before. Tsk, that old guy's hands are so heavy that he almost broke my legs."

Ji Qing laughed and said, "Could it be that you want to quit drinking?"

Qu Kongqing said: "Why not?"

Ji Qing whispered: "I, I don't believe it."

Qu Kongqing clicked his tongue a few times, and said: "Hey, man, if you say you don't want to drink it, you will never drink it again."

Ji Qing said again: "Then, what should I do if I become addicted to alcohol?"

Qu Kongqing laughed, and said quite unconcernedly: "The need for wine and meat, and the desire for food and drink have always been taboos in practice. Now that you have entered the practice, why can't you bear the abstinence from alcohol and meat? If you can't say it, you will bear it." Just a few moments, just wait for the greed to pass away."

Ji Qing said softly: "You are right."

The two chatted on their own, and after a while of silence, they heard Qu Kongqing say again: "Oh, you are completely different from what I imagined, but you are too quiet."

Ji Qing said again: "What imaginary? Have you seen me before?"

Qu Kongqing said: "I've seen it before. I remember when you stood on the bridge and cut down the dandy who oppressed the people under the sword. The light of the sword shines brightly and the clothes flutter. You are really heroic and beautiful."

Ji Qing was puzzled and said: "What... I don't remember anything, and I haven't seen you before."

Qu Kongqing said again: "Of course you don't remember. It was at the Hongjiang Tower. I only took a look at you from a distance at that time, and you left before you even had a conversation."

Ji Qing said: "You remember wrongly, I have never been to Hongjiang Tower."

Hearing this, Shang Lixing couldn't help his heart moving, as if he had thought of something, he didn't wait to think about it, the wind direction in front of him suddenly changed, Shang Lixing was keenly aware of it, his face changed, he immediately reacted, and told the people behind him: "Everyone be careful! "

Only the sound of water droplets in the distance flickered, intermittently, and there seemed to be an abnormal noise in the wind, and everyone was forced to stop.Ji Qing and Qu Kongqing stopped talking, and Qi Huan held on tightly to Shang Lixing's girdle behind him, leaning on him, and softly called out: "Brother..." The monk's surroundings suddenly fell into a strange scene in the quiet.In the darkness, suddenly there was a sharp cry, someone yelled: "There is a devilish energy!"

Immediately afterwards, countless black mist covered the sky and covered the earth like a sea tide, rushing in from all directions in the cave, blocking everyone's sight immediately.Some monks were panicked, while others were calm and calm. Shang Lixing said, "Don't panic, everyone, hold on tight!" As he spoke, his true energy flowed, his eyes turned outward, and a burst of golden light flashed, dispelling the swiftly attacking black mist within three feet. outside.Shang Lixing yelled loudly: "There is a surprise attack by the devil's energy, He Suowu protects it from it, Ji Qing pays attention to his back!"

He Suowu and Ji Qing each responded, and circulated their true qi in order to disperse the devilish energy. Unexpectedly, the black mist came from different corners, and they were hard to guard against.Shang Lixing opened the magic circle on the spot, raised a protective shield, and shouted: "Open!"

Stimulated by his mental power, the golden light array in front of him swirled and shook away, bringing the remaining forty or so monks into the range protected by the protective shield, and he cooperated with He Suowu who came out of the crowd, holding the sword alone They wave each other, and one person supports them from the side.

Qu Kongqing, who was standing at the end of the line, also raised his long sword, winked at Ji Qing leisurely, and played a very beautiful sword flower.His posture was nimble and swift, and he was no longer as lazy as before. Ji Qing worriedly cried out: "Be careful of your injuries!"

Qu Kongqing laughed loudly in mid-air: "Don't worry!" The sword move opened and closed, and the surging devil energy was quickly defeated.

Under the urging of all the monks, the demonic energy was split into countless tiny fragments. The fragments fluttered, seemingly consciously, and then flew towards the bottom of the crowd, attacking the monk's waist and abdomen.At this time, the bodies of all the monks were tightly pressed against each other, shoulders and arms were touching, and the cave was low and narrow. They were crowded together, and it was impossible to attack the fragments of demonic energy that were right in front of them.Shang Lixing turned his hand gesture, and the curse of killing magic was cast again, all the way to the crowd of monks, cutting the remaining fragments of magic energy into pieces, and was no longer able to attack the casual monks in the cave.

The sudden scream sounded again, so clear that it seemed close to his ears, Shang Lixing's heart trembled, and he subconsciously blocked it with his stick.It turned out that the voice quietly approached and came to everyone when they were all focused on the demonic energy!
