Chapter 18 Chapter Seven

On the way back, neither of them spoke. It was already late at night, and the Obon festival crowd slowly dispersed, leaving only a few sporadic people still praying to the water by the river.There is a full moon in the sky, its brilliance is brilliant, and the ground is shining white, like mercury pouring down the ground.And the river is full of crystal river lanterns and plain white lotus flowers, reflecting the water surface like the Milky Way. Weeping dirges and soul-sacrificing songs faintly sounded in the night wind, as desolate as water.However, there are still clear laughter from children playing with water and lighting lamps by the river—life and death have never been juxtaposed so clearly, which is dazzling and heartbreaking.

Xiao Yiqing coughed intermittently, appearing extraordinarily cold in the night.Ah Jing silently took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to him, and replaced the blood-soaked handkerchief. "Ah Jing, if one day I die..." Taking the handkerchief, Xiao Yiqing suddenly stopped, looked at the countless lights on the river, and said softly.Ah Jing looked at him, but after waiting for a long time, he did not see what he said next. There are thousands of lotus flowers on the river, one next to the other, but it is impossible to tell which two they put into the water just now.

Xiao Yiqing coughed a few times, turned her head and rubbed the phoenix flower tree on the bank, a faint smile suddenly appeared on her face, and said: "My father said that the first time he saw my mother was in the Yu Lan Basin. Under a phoenix tree on Christmas Eve." His face was hidden under the mottled tree shadow, cloudy or sunny. After being silent for a long time, he put down his hands and continued to walk back along the river. Ah Jing followed beside him, and suddenly heard him say something like a sigh: "I think when my father dies, if I let him choose again , he may not choose to meet my mother here—if he knows that he will not be able to keep it."

Ah Jing's hand trembled slightly, but she didn't know how to answer.The two walked slowly along the river bank, sometimes fiery red phoenix petals fluttered down in the wind, and the evening wind blew their hair and skirts, suddenly like a dream. "Oh, where have you been, landlord? You still haven't come back so late." This quiet atmosphere was suddenly broken, and after walking to the head of the river, I heard a crisp voice asking. Weak water. Xiao Yiqing and Ah Jing looked at each other, and looked at the panting girl in green with a wry smile.When Ruoshui approached, Xiao Yiqing asked, "I haven't seen the Lan Yan Order—could it be that the Moon Worship Sect is attacking urgently? Are you looking for us in such a hurry?"

Ruoshui seemed to have been running for a long time. At this moment, panting and holding his waist, he pointed his fingers at them for a long time, and finally said a word: "No... Master and Master Ming Jing want me to come to you..." "Oh? What's the matter?" Xiao Yiqing asked with serious eyes. "The master only said that today is the Yulan Basin Festival, and it is also on the site of the Moon Worship Sect. It may be dangerous for the two of you to go out for a stroll... Huh, I am exhausted... You have spent the past and the moon, and you are really exhausting us." Running errands." Panting heavily, Ruoshui was still chirping and chirping a lot, completely ignoring the simultaneous change of expression of the two people in front of him.

"Ahem... Where's Yehuo?" Without waiting for her to complain, Xiao Yiqing asked. "Yehuo went downstream to look for you." Waving his hand, Ruoshui made a tiring and exaggerated movement. Xiao Yiqing nodded, and said: "Then, let's go find her and go back together - I'm sorry for your trouble, master. Has Master Mingjing's injury healed?" As he spoke, he turned his head and walked back downstream first. Ruoshui’s thinking was simple, so he completely followed his train of thought, and said: “No, it seems that the injury is quite serious—the master said, the master The protective zhenqi and the enchantment of Prajna Heart have all been defeated——that Jia Ruo is very powerful, sir!"

Ruoshui was just talking to himself, but Xiao Jing's expressions changed slightly at the same time. Jia Ruo.This name seems to have become a hidden taboo between them. "That's why the master is worried that you will be in danger if you go out!" Ruoshui said with a smile, but when he turned around, he saw the strange expressions on the two people's faces, and stopped in surprise. "I'll be with Mr. Xiao, there won't be any danger." Ah Jing replied indifferently.Indeed, she and Xiao Yiqing once swept the entire martial arts world together, even if the high priest of the Moon Worship Sect came in person, she would definitely not have the slightest advantage.

However, obviously misunderstanding the meaning of this sentence, Ruoshui suddenly smiled, and stuck out his tongue playfully: "Yes, yes... Every girl thinks that the person she likes is an upright and fearless hero— —” Her laughter was suddenly cut off by her icy eyes. Ruoshui suddenly stopped talking, his heart skipped a beat for no reason.The gazes of Mr. Xiao and Miss Jing were cold to the bone marrow at the same time. With such a glance, she stopped involuntarily, not daring to say another word. "Your master should teach you the proper way to speak." Ah Jing looked at the girl in green lightly, her eyes were indifferent with a threatening edge, and she said slowly, "I don't think I need to say anything to myself. Responsibility—I don't like you very much."

Under her cold gaze, Ruoshui suddenly became tongue-tied. At that moment, she really understood why many people had said how cold and sharp this Miss Jing was. "Let's go." In a suffocating moment, Xiao Yiqing finally spoke, her voice was also indifferent, and with a flick of her sleeves, she continued walking down the river, "I found Yehuo, let's go back." Ah Jing didn't look at her anymore, turned around and walked away side by side with him. Ruoshui stood there in a daze for a long while, his face fluctuating, annoyed for a while, and finally stamped his feet to catch up.

After walking a long way along the river, the strange thing is that Yehuo still hasn't been seen.Ruoshui was a little impatient and began to get anxious, but fortunately with Xiao Jing and the two by her side, she was not easy to get angry, she just kept complaining about her junior sister wandering around. As the three of them walked, they realized that they had reached the lower reaches of the river.It was already the outskirts, and there were few people there. At midnight, it was even more empty and there were no pedestrians. However, the lower reaches of Jichuan are crystal clear.

There is no dam, but for some reason, the river lanterns that drifted down have all stagnated here, gathering like stars. As soon as they turned around the bend in the river, they heard a strange sound of chanting, as if thousands of people gathered and murmured.The voice has a strange deep and trembling sound, which has been penetrating into people's hearts—— "In the big house...in the fire house... "In the darkness that counts all the years... "God please -   "Tell me my real name!  Strange and low-pitched chanting, slowly slapped like waves, slapping people's eardrums through the air wave after wave-for some reason, it immediately makes people feel empty and unable to think, as if there is a mysterious power of stability and persuasion . The moonlight was very bright, falling like mercury, reflecting everything in a daze. However, they saw a sea of ​​white. It was hundreds of people in white robes gathered and prostrate on the ground, countless white robes covered the ground, showing a frightening paleness under the moonlight.Those kneeling people put their heads on the ground and their whole bodies stick to the ground. They put their hands on both sides of their heads and raised them slightly, with their palms facing the sky, as if carrying the moonlight shining down at this moment. Although their faces were pressed against the ground, their tongues were constantly moving, and the sound of chanting like a tide came from their mouths. "Bye—!" Ruoshui blurted out, but fortunately Ah Jing's hand was like lightning, he raised his hand and flicked his sleeves to cover her mouth, so that exclamation did not come out.She only felt her body lighten, and she couldn't distinguish the southeast. In an instant, the flowers and leaves in front of her eyes were scattered. It turned out that they had been dragged by Xiao Jing and fell on the phoenix tree by the river. "Use your Taoist secret language technique to speak." Ruoshui heard the order from Miss Jing beside her, but her lips did not move, knowing that she was using the sound transmission in martial arts.She just came back to her senses at this moment, knowing how powerful this moment was, she nodded vigorously immediately. "July 15th is the day of the Moon Worship Sect's Lantern Ceremony!" As soon as Ah Jing let go of her mouth, Ruoshui took a breath and said to the two in a secret language, his face turning pale, " Master was worried about this, so he asked us to come out to find you..." "Passing the Lantern Ceremony..." Xiao Yiqing nodded, looking at the disciples who were prostrate on the ground in front of him, with complicated eyes, "I heard the report from my disciples today, but the time to attack the Moon Worship Sect has not yet come, so I have not planned any attack .” "It seems that the momentum is not small." Among the flowers and leaves, Ah Jing also replied lightly when he saw the ground shining white. "Yes, the Lantern Passing Ceremony is a big day for Moon Worship Sect to preach among the people, and all the believers will come." Ruoshui explained, but there was an expression on his face that was about to cry, "Ye Huo... Ye Huo won't be caught by them, right? She, she walked this way along the water... won't be killed by them, right?" Xiao Yiqing and Ah Jing didn't speak, they looked at each other silently, their expressions were a bit solemn. There was also a certain ominous feeling in their hearts. At this time, the moon has risen to the sky, bright as a mirror. "Peng!" Suddenly, there was a loud noise on the river where thousands of lights were gathered.It seems that there are huge fireworks blooming on the water, and suddenly the light is so bright that people can't open their eyes.It turned out that the countless river lanterns seemed to be driven by some force, the candles in the lanterns ignited, and the fire in the river suddenly raged—— "... "From where does the month rise... "The gods speak their names one by one. "Hope I hope this time -   "I can also remember my real name!" The voices of the believers were louder and more uniform.After the recitation was finished, all the people crawled and hit the ground with their foreheads, making a deep sound, and respectfully said: "Welcome Master to ascend the altar!" At this time, Ping Kong let out a low growl, and under the moonlight, a huge snow-white monster stepped down from the sky. red. "Welcome to the divine beast." Seeing the snow-white spirit beast, everyone prostrated themselves on the ground again. "Gluttony!" Seeing Ruoshui on the tree, she almost forgot to use her secret words, exclaiming in surprise, with panic and excitement flashing across her bright eyes at the same time - this kind of magical beast in ancient legends, she is only It's just what the master said.I don't know who was able to summon this extinct monster from the ancient prehistoric times. When he saw the phantom beast condensed in the void, Ah Jing's body also shook slightly at the same time, and he firmly grasped the trunk with his fingers. Zhu Er. That is... Jia Ruo's phantom beast. Her face gradually turned pale, Xiao Yiqing looked at her silently, and did not speak. On the surface of the water, thousands of river lanterns gathered, Taotie came out from the void, stepped on a lotus flower with all four feet, and his huge body floated on the water lightly.Suddenly, it snorted, shook its head, and threw the object in its mouth to the shore. It was a man covered in blood. Apparently he lost consciousness. When he was thrown to the shore, he rolled with the inertia and then did not move. "Today's Holy Religion preaching lamp has been mixed with heretic demons—" In the darkness in the distance, a voice slowly sounded, and it was as ethereal as an echo when heard in the open place by the river.When the voice sounded, it was impossible to distinguish the distance from the distance. Everyone only felt that the other party was talking in their own ears, "I heard that Xuelou intends to destroy my holy religion recently. This is the spy who was caught just now." Amidst the mist by the river in Nanjiang, a person slowly walked from the depths of the darkness: "Originally, the beasts of our sect wanted to eat her right away—but after thinking about it, it would be better to execute her in public." The man who was picked up by Taotie lay unconscious on the ground, his red clothes soaked in blood, motionless. "Ye Huo! Ye Huo!" Suddenly seeing the man under the moonlight, Ruoshui's body trembled, and he couldn't hold back anymore and blurted out.Both Xiao Jing and Xiao Jing were startled at the same time, but when they stretched out their hand to grab her, there was nothing. They slid weakly and jumped down from the tree, rushing to the same door on the ground. However, as soon as she appeared, the white-robed mage in the distance leaned down slightly, pressed his hands on the ground, and recited a spell.The ground split open suddenly, and countless razor-like sharp horns gushed out from the ground, barbs coming up! "Di Moya?" Ruoshui stretched out his hand to press on the tree trunk, and flew up lightly, stretched out his hand and drew several symbols in front of him.The water in the river suddenly flowed backwards, surged up, rushed straight to the bank, rolled up Ye Huo's body, and lifted her up into the air. Ruoshui held the Feitian Jue and went up to meet her, trying to catch her junior sister.However, the body was still in the air, but suddenly felt the heat coming, and when he turned his head, he heard the roar of Taotie! The phantom beast also galloped over, roaring and spitting out intense flames. Ordinary fire can't work on her who is learning spells, but this time before the Taotie approached, Ruo Shui was already forced to breathe—the red lotus fire!What Taotie spit out was actually the red lotus fire that could burn the Three Realms. However, this is her biggest nemesis who practiced the water spell of the five elements. Ruoshui only had time to scream, and stretched out his hand to block in front of him.However, in a panic, she forgot to continue reciting the Flying Sky Jue. As soon as she stopped reciting the Jue, her body quickly fell to the ground covered with sharp teeth. When she was about to fall to the ground, she suddenly felt her body lighten, and she was picked up by an external force again.The cyan knife light flashed past like lightning, Ruoshui only felt the sharp edge coming all over his body, and couldn't help but let out a cry of pain. "Crack, crack, crack!" The cyan knife light rose from the ground like a storm-in an instant, she saw the fang-like stalagmites gushing out of the ground smashed into pieces! Xiao Yiqing hugged her and landed on the leveled ground, holding a knife in one hand, coughing slightly, her face pale. And not far away, Miss Jing in scarlet clothes caught Ye Huo who was lifted up by the tide, forced Tao Tie back, and stood silently with her sword. "Ye..." Ruoshui blurted out joyfully in shock, but seeing the current situation, he couldn't help but shut his mouth. The Moon Worshipers were not in the least messed up, and even knelt on the ground, but straightened up and stared at the four of them.His eyes are bright and penetrating, but for some reason it makes people feel very uncomfortable.Hundreds of people surrounded the four of them like this, kneeling beside them and watching quietly. That gluttonous beast was forced back by Miss Jing just now, but the ferocious phantom beast seemed a little hesitant at the moment, snorting non-stop, kicking the ground with its front hooves, walking back and forth in front of Ah Jing . Very weird situation. "Where is the evil monster, dare to disturb my Lantern Festival?" Among the flying stone chips, the white-robed mage who came with the phantom beast stood on the floating lotus lantern and asked coldly. Suddenly, Ah Jing breathed a sigh of relief. "It's not him?" Xiao Yiqing didn't look at the person in front of her, but asked her with complicated eyes. The woman in scarlet clothes nodded slightly.It's really not Jia Ruo... That voice is not at all—however, how could Jia Ruo's phantom beast be with other warlocks? When they didn't answer, the man in white standing on the river lantern suddenly waved his hands, as if calling for something—however, the strange thing was that nothing appeared after the movement. Ruoshui has already stood on the ground by himself, looking at the gesture of the man in white, he has some doubts, but he can't judge. However, Taotie's reaction at this time was a bit strange, it seemed hesitant, and he looked at the woman in scarlet clothes frequently, as if there was still an anxious light in his eyes.It just exhaled breath from its mouth, as if sighing. Zhu Er...it must be very embarrassing?Just like her current mood. She had watched it being created by senior brother Qinglan, and watched it grow up—such a small and cute snow-white beast, and it was also the trick that senior brother summoned to make her laugh every time she was unhappy—Zhu Er... ...Qing Lan. At the moment when she was in a trance, she suddenly smelled a faint and strange fishy smell in the air—Zhu Er let out a soft cry, and before Ah Jing recovered, she heard Ruoshui's terrified cry: "Blood Ghost drop!" She suddenly turned her head and saw Ruoshui raised her hand, pointing to a place not far in front of her, her eyes widened, and she screamed repeatedly: "Vampire descend! Blood ghost descend!—Miss Jing!" However, she turned her head and stared at the night sky, it was pitch black and there was nothing at all. But even so, with her intuition, she could still feel that there was a great danger approaching! The fishy smell wafted in the air, making one's hair stand on end. Those Luna worshipers knelt there silently and watched them, each with strange expressions in their eyes—it was very uncomfortable to watch. "Vampire Jiang! Blood Ghost Jiang is by your side!" Ruoshui exclaimed again, although there was fear in his eyes. Ah Jing suddenly felt that the concentration of the fishy smell in the air had changed in an instant - it was so thick that it was hard to breathe! not good! ...In an instant, the intuition and experience gained through countless lives and deaths saved her, and the woman in scarlet clothes threw the Yehuo she was holding in the direction of Xiao Yiqing like lightning, and when she raised her hand, the sword energy shot out from her sleeve , sealed the front, and at the same time stepped a little, and instantly raised his head back and floated away as much as possible. Once this letter is withdrawn, it is like a swift wind and lightning, which is already the pinnacle of her life's martial arts. However, even so, because she threw Ye Huo out of her arms first, the action was still half a beat late. Halfway back, she felt a pain in her shoulder, as if she had been scratched by something, and she saw her blood gushing out from her shoulder—however, in the empty night, there was no one approaching by her side. Only the strong fishy smell lingered around him, making it suffocating. The smell of blood. The stench of rotting, stale human blood. She protected her whole body with sword energy, but she also knew that this approach would not last long--looking up, every Luna worshiper was still quiet, but there was already a faint smile in their eyes.The unknown man in white on the river also stood quietly. That person is driving the vampire. Among the Lingnan head lowering techniques, it is the most powerful and cruel one. There was a faint itching feeling at the wound on the shoulder, and the arm gradually became sore and weak.Shocked, Ah Jing raised her hand without thinking, and cut off the muscles around the wound. However, the fishy wind beside him moved again, and the invisible vampire came straight from nowhere again! In an instant, Bai Yi moved.Xiao Yiqing pushed the unconscious Yehuo to Ruoshui, and he had already drawn his sword. The light blue knife light aroused a fierce qi, which made people unable to breathe.I heard that the Xiying knife of Lord Xuezhu has always been able to change the color of the entire martial arts world—— However, the knife wind only forced the fishy smell to dissipate slightly, but it still floated in the air.That terrifying invisible assassin is hiding somewhere in the night. "How's the injury?" Xiao Yiqing asked in a low voice, standing with Ah Jing on their backs, holding the knife carefully and vigilantly. "It's okay." Ah Jing changed the Xuewei Sword from his right hand to his left, and replied in a low voice.However, the ashes of death quietly spread to the skin near her wound. The concentration of the fishy smell suddenly changed again. The two of them didn't open their minds, so they couldn't see where the non-physical ghost descended.However, Ruoshui on the side knew the strangeness and danger of the situation, and immediately screamed to remind: "Ten steps to the southeast!" A strong fishy wind howled, and the roar of the undead could be vaguely heard in the wind. Taotie became even more uneasy, and seemed to want to rush over, but seemed to be stopped by the mysterious white-clothed mage, it didn't know what to do, suddenly roared up to the sky, and left in the air. However, the two people standing there disappeared almost instantly. Xiao Jing and the two rushed out at the same time, aiming at the southeast, outflanking them from both sides like lightning.Halfway through the run, the two shot at the same time—for an instant, the two colors of light blue and crimson flashed under the moon at the same time! It was just a flash of a thousandth of a second, and then disappeared immediately. No one, including the Moon Worshipers, could see clearly what had happened. After rushing ten steps, Xiao Jing and the two continued to run a few more steps before they stopped. It seemed that the knife had exhausted his real strength, Xiao Yiqing coughed slightly, and Ah Jing's face was also a little pale. At this time, Ruoshui saw dark red blood drop by drop on the swords held equally by Mr. Xiao and Miss Jing. At that moment, the body of the mage in white standing on the river suddenly shook, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.The two river lanterns under his feet were crushed with a "poof", and the disciples on the left and right hurried up to support him, and found that the mage's feet were already wet. The fishy smell in the air became more and more intense, but it was condensed in a certain place.In the empty air, there was a strange hissing sound, shrill and terrifying. Hearing the roar that was neither human nor beast, the eyes of those Moon Worshipers who had been kneeling still all showed terrified expressions.Suddenly, someone yelled, got up from the ground, turned around and ran.Soon, countless believers fled, leaving only four of them on the empty ground. Ah Jing was suffocated by the strong smell of blood, and felt the numbness on his shoulders spreading at an accelerated rate. His eyes blurred, and he immediately supported the ground with his sword. "Ah Jing?" Xiao Yiqing stretched out his hand to hold her, but when his eyes fell on her, his eyes changed drastically—— Dead gray! There was actually a dead gray, which had spread from her wound to her neck, slowly crawling up as if alive! "Look over there..." However, she didn't seem to realize the horror of her injury at all. Ah Jing looked at the dark night in front of her, and raised her finger to Tingxue Louzhu beside her, with surprise in her voice. Xiao Yiqing turned her head and was suddenly stunned—— In the place where the fishy smell is the strongest, in the void, a blood-red human figure slowly emerged.He is not tall, as if he is just a child—however, the blood-red child struggling in the stench has only half of his body! And the other half was left at the place where the two of them passed by just now: ten steps to the southeast.Because he lost his vision, his feet still walked around in place. That is vampire descending!The vampire who had been chopped into two by the two of them just now returned to its original form. The blood-red shadow struggled on the ground, let out a roar that was neither human nor beast, used its hands instead of feet, propped up half of its body that only reached the waist, crawled on the ground at high speed, and became fierce. After being caught, it fell to the ground and quickly rotted into white bones. That ridiculous and terrifying situation was as terrifying as a nightmare. The mage on the river gave another order. However, it seemed that the severe damage suffered by Guijiang had also been passed on to the lower head master who performed the spell. At this moment, the voice of the mage in white clothes of the Moon Worship Sect seemed a little weak. Hearing the master's instructions, the blood-red child "walked" a few steps in the direction of Xiao Jing and the two, and then stopped suddenly.Looking at the direction where the mage was, he didn't move.The white-robed mage repeated the incantation again, however, he didn't know whether it was because of weakness or fear, but there were signs of trembling slightly. The fishy smell became stronger and stronger.The vampire stared fixedly at the caster, and suddenly let out a sharp roar! "Quick, get out of the way! - It's going to kill its master!" Ruoshui's exclamation suddenly sounded.Hearing the sound, Xiao Jing and the two quickly fled to both sides, only to see a red shadow flashing in front of them, and the half-body vampire descended like a lightning bolt, screaming and rushing towards his master. In a blink of an eye, the shadow of the mage in white on the river was obliterated by the red shadow. "Let's go quickly! After the vampire has killed its master, it will come back to kill us!" Holding Ye Huo, Ruo Shui hurriedly said on the side. At this moment, there was no trace of laughter on her face, but she seemed A little too serious. Among all the head-dropping techniques in southern Xinjiang, the vampire drop is the most powerful and vicious head-dropping technique, and it is also very difficult to control.After finding the young men and women who were refined, the head-down master must first let go of the blood from the whole body, then pierce the middle finger of his left and right hands, and drip seven drops of blood into it, and drip seven times in a row, so that the blood ghost can be controlled by the heart. But even if the refining is successful, you must always guard against the backlash of the vampire Jiang—because the refining process is so cruel, the blood in the whole body is drained by the head descending master, and the controlled ghost is full of yin and yang. The hatred between the two worlds, it will not let go of every opportunity for revenge! Therefore, although the vampire descendant is powerful, it often becomes the biggest trouble for a head descendant.Unless a warlock has extremely advanced cultivation bases, he would never dare to easily refine vampires for his own use. Just like today, once the sorcerer showed signs of injury and weakness, the ferocious nature of the vampire he controlled immediately exploded, ignoring the attack on Xiao Jing and the two, and directly charged back at his master. Xiao Yiqing nodded, turned around and left.However, the woman in scarlet robe beside her walked a few steps, and suddenly staggered. "What's the matter?" Xiao Yiqing quickly raised her hand to support her, but Ruoshui looked at her face and blurted out in surprise, his face paled in shock, and he said in a trembling voice: "Miss Jing, she was sent down by the vampire. Got scratched?!" "I, I just...have cut off the poisoned flesh and blood in time..." Ah Jing's face was a little pale, but the mind in his words was not at all chaotic, and he answered intermittently. Ruoshui stomped his feet: "That's useless! Once you see blood, the corpse's poison will dissipate faster than anything else!" The blood from the wound has turned into a strange green, and the dead gray seems to be alive, spreading up her neck—however, when it reaches a certain place on the neck, it seems to be hindered by something, the speed of spreading Slowed down. There, a slightly worn rosewood plaque hung around his neck. "Fortunately, I have this amulet... probably it can stop the corpse poison for a while." Ruoshui looked at the junior sister in his hand, then at Miss Jing, and murmured, "But this kind of poison, unless you kill the vampire, it will be released." It is absolutely incomprehensible!" Suddenly, she felt like crying—everything is so bad...everything is so bad! "Then, I'll go and kill that vampire Jiang." Suddenly, Xiao Yiqing beside her answered word by word, her voice was cold and calm, "Rou Shui, quickly set up a barrier." His voice changed suddenly, with irresistible and doubtful ability.Xiao Yiqing's hand slowly grasped the handle of Xiying Knife, on the cold blade, the dark red blood was still falling drop by drop, exuding a strange fishy smell. Ruoshui looked at the owner of Tingxuelou, under the moonlight, his eyes were stable and deep, with the trust that taught people to entrust life and death.Her messy mind suddenly calmed down, and she put Ye Huo, who was still unconscious, on the ground, helped Miss Jing, and asked, "Then, how about I call Master to come?" Xiao Yiqing looked at the Moon Worship Sect Warlock and Ghost Jiang fighting in front of him, pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "No need - I shouldn't have a problem dealing with a Vampire Jiang. Your master needs to sit in the tower, don't ask him to go out easily .” "Yes." At this critical juncture, Ruoshui didn't dare to laugh and laugh as usual, nodded his head cautiously, broke down a few phoenix branches, and began to cast a barrier. At this moment, I heard a cry from above the river—an inhuman, non-beast roar mixed with the miserable screams of human beings. It seemed that the mage had been killed by his own ghost... The shrill cry was unbearable . "Is the barrier set up?" Xiao Yi looked at the group of red clouds in front of him intently, guarding the three people, waiting for Ruo Shui to insert the branches into the ground one by one, and asked.The smell of blood has become stronger and stronger. Ruoshui inserted the last branch into the soil and chanted the spell. Those branches quickly grew up in a blink of an eye and surrounded them in a gossip style. The roots and leaves of the trees joined together to form a strange barrier. "Okay." Ruoshui in the water-green shirt sighed in satisfaction, helped the extremely weak Miss Jing to sit down, and nodded to him, "Mr. Xiao, I will guard them here. You can kill that bloody girl." Let the ghosts descend." "Please." Xiao Yiqing looked at her, but her eyes flickered. He didn't know whether he should trust the green-clothed girl from Longhu Mountain in front of him... Although she had already investigated her past clearly, and confirmed that she was the great disciple of Master Zhang Wuchen—however, those who would lose their resistance Is it a little risky for Ah Jing to be handed over to someone who doesn't know him well? "Well, go ahead! I'm here!" However, Ruoshui was excited by hearing Master Xuelou's "please" and felt honored, she once again boasted Haikou—she forgot that she was not even a master As the opponent of the priests of the Moon Worship Sect, her little bit of knowledge might not be able to guarantee anything. The screams above the river have gradually faded away.There is no time. It is unwise to be suspicious of subordinates at such a time... there is no longer any hesitation. Xiao Yiqing looked at the smiling and confident Ruoshui, but the light in her eyes was complex. "Lou, Louzhu." Suddenly, Ah Jing, who was almost in a semi-conscious state, moved, and lifted his hand a few inches with great effort, but it softened and rested on Ruoshui's shoulder. "Oh...you still want to talk?..." Ruoshui was surprised, shocked by the tenacious willpower of the woman who was eroded by the corpse poison in her arms. Seeing that Miss Jing seemed to be eager to speak, she quickly lifted her body and let her She leans on her shoulder. "Ah Jing, what's the matter?" Xiao Yiqing bent down and asked softly.However, his eyes froze slightly—— Although supported by Ruoshui, the woman in scarlet clothes placed her hand on the other's shoulder intentionally or unintentionally.The tip of the finger is only one minute away from the carotid artery.Ah Jing didn't speak any more, just glanced at him. Xiao Yiqing suddenly understood: she was telling herself not to worry, all this is still under control. He smiled slightly, nodded, stood up straight, and said to Ruoshui: "You stay here and watch over Miss Jing and Yehuo. I'll go back as soon as I go." "This, this...take it with you." However, just as he turned around, he heard Ah Jing's weak voice again.The woman in scarlet clothes fumbled with her fingers, grabbed the red sandalwood plaque around her neck, and spit out a few words intermittently, "It's very dangerous..." Xiao Yiqing's eyes suddenly flickered. "No... Don't worry, nothing will happen." He gently covered her cold hand with his hand, and said softly, "Besides, you have to keep it to suppress the corpse poison in your body." Ruoshui also immediately agreed: "Yes! If you don't have this amulet, Miss Jing, you will be in danger soon!" "Take it." Ah Jing ignored it, and grasped his wrist with his gradually cold fingers, and repeated it weakly but without giving in - everything he saw in front of him was covered with a faint layer of blood red... like that , Such an ominous color. There was a strange feeling of uneasiness in her heart, which made her insist on this point. "Okay. Then I'll be right back." Xiao Yiqing lowered her eyes, sighed softly, and nodded.He raised his hand, quickly removed the amulet hanging from Ah Jing's neck, and put it in his arms. He turned around and fled out without looking back. Xiao Yiqing didn't see it, the moment she took off the amulet, the dead gray spread from the neck to Ah Jing's entire face at an astonishing speed. PS: I feel more and more lazy recently, and I can’t help but slow down when I write. Maybe I’m getting out of shape? Hee hee, I will go on a long trip in a few days, I just need to be lazy for a while to adjust my state :)
