[Xianjian + Ancient Sword Colleague] Being a master is also a kind of practice

The sun was just right, shining on a sweetgum grove under the blue sky, making the maple leaves more and more dazzling like fire.The breeze is rustling, blowing through the layers of red leaves that are endless at a glance. In the gap between the swaying branches and leaves, beams of sunlight fall like fog and curtains, inadvertently entangled around the tall and tall figure under the tree.The flickering lights and shadows dotted the man's long black hair that fluttered in the wind, making his figure look like a flying fairy.

Ji Tong walked out of the cave and saw this scene.She stared blankly for a moment, then sighed silently as if she suddenly remembered something.

It has been more than a day since they came to southern Xinjiang, but they don't know whether it's because they are timid because of their closeness to the country, or because they are still wary of outsiders like themselves. A hiding place was settled with her.The scenery of this forest is quite beautiful, but...Ji Tong squeezed the empty water bag in his hand, and sighed again in his heart, there are countless clear streams in the forest, drinking water is not worrying, but there is not much dry food left with him. But what to do?

She was worrying, but she saw Shen Bailing slowly turning around in front of her, as if she already knew that there was someone behind her, and smiled at her without panic: "Jitong, this bottle of medicine is for you." Shaking, revealing a small flask in the palm.

Ji Tong stepped forward to take it and took a look, the small bottle was actually made of sapphire, crystal clear and clean, unlike any ordinary product, she unplugged the jade cork on the bottle, and saw a fragrant white mist wafting out.Ji Tong's nose twitched slightly, and after sniffing, she suddenly became alarmed, and said in surprise: "This... this is not the Fenglu pill from the Qingyu altar, how could it be in the hands of the young master?" Suddenly realized, and then said: "You have found the young master... have you found the whereabouts of those people in the Qingyu altar?"

"Last night when I was patrolling in the forest, I bumped into a few people." Shen Bailing smiled lightly and nodded, but didn't mention how he met the person in the green jade altar. It also has the miraculous effect of being radiant, and ordinary people can eat one pill without feeling hungry for a day. I’m afraid we don’t have much dry food left, so you can take this bottle of pill first.”

Ji Tong replied yes, and put the jade bottle away.But in the end I felt uneasy, and after a while, I still couldn't help it, and said softly: "Mr. Shen, you... If you want to go to Wumeng Linggu, you can go alone. Jitong knows that his status is embarrassing at this time, and he will never I will make another request to embarrass you."

Shen Bailing's long eyebrows raised slightly, she understood what she was thinking after a moment of stunned, quickly shook her head and said with a smile: "I don't care about you... well, you don't know, we can't get in now." He turned his head and looked towards the woods To the east, that is the direction of Wumengling Valley.How could Jitong know that there is an ancient enchantment outside the Wumeng Linggu at this time, which is the protection left by the Nuwa Empress, but thinking about it now, why is it not an imprisonment?

He was out of his mind for a while, then pinched his fingers to calculate the season, and frowned.Another seven days will be Twelve Days, when the divine power left by Nuwa will disappear for a whole day, if Ouyang Shaogong finds out about this secret... I think of the news I got secretly from those disciples of the Qingyu altar last night A look of worry flashed in Shen Bailing's eyes.

He pondered for a moment, and said: "Jitong, you rest here, I have to leave for a while. I'm afraid there are still disciples of Qingyu altar in this forest, it's better not to move around, so as not to scare the snake."

Seeing his serious expression, Ji Tong replied solemnly: "Young Master Shen, just don't worry, I'm just hiding in the cave, and I won't walk away for half a step."

Shen Bailing nodded, turned around and walked towards the depths of the woods, but after a few breaths of effort, he disappeared without a trace.

Ji Tong looked at the direction where he was leaving, silent for a long time, raised her head to look at the sky, her eyes flickered, and only heard her muttering to herself: "Shaogong, I don't know you..." The voice seemed to be whispering, more like Sighing, it was scattered into the wind in the next moment.

Shen Bailing unfolded his figure according to the direction where he met those Qingyu altar disciples yesterday, and he reached the other end of the forest in less than half an hour.According to what the disciples said when chatting, Ouyang Shaogong and Lei Yan led a group of people from the Qingyu altar to station near here.He walked lightly, and paid more and more attention to his surroundings, lest any disturbance escape his eyes and ears.After walking for a while, I could vaguely hear human voices.Shen Bailing was overjoyed, and lightly jumped onto the branch of a sweetgum tree, looked into the distance, and saw a group of people sitting or standing on a large open space at the other end of the forest. Aren't they wearing the yellow-brown Taoist robes of the Qingyu altar?

Just as he was about to get closer, he saw another figure rushing towards from the other side of the forest. The man rushed straight into the center of the open space, bowed, and seemed to say a few words. , the figure of that man was rather burly, and he carried a bright red broadsword on his back, which was longer than the surrounding disciples no matter whether they were horizontal or vertical. Although Shen Bailing couldn't see his face clearly, he guessed that he must be that A muscular elder Wusu.

Lei Yan beckoned to the disciple, and then the two left the crowd and walked towards Lin Ziren. Coincidentally, they went straight to the direction where Shen Bailing was.

The two talked while walking, and not long after, they came to the sweetgum tree where Shen Bailing was hiding.I only heard the young disciple say: "... this disciple obeyed the elder's order and followed Master Uncle Ouyang far away. I just watched him go east all the way, walked for about an hour, and came to a valley. The disciple saw him I am familiar with the road, I seem to have known that there is such a place out of the woods, and I feel strange at the moment."

Lei Yan snorted and said, "I already guessed that he had discovered the exact location of the Wumengling Valley, but it was hard to keep it from us! Please explain clearly first, what did he do before he got to that valley?"

The disciple said: "Uncle, he went to the edge of a suspension bridge outside the valley, took out a piece of talisman paper and turned it into a bird, and let it fly into the air. A child followed. The child was very happy to see the uncle, the two seemed to have known each other for a long time, and the uncle held him and talked for a long time."

Lei Yan hurriedly asked with concern: "What did they say?"

The disciple bowed his head and said: "I am ashamed, my disciple! Maybe my uncle found out that someone was secretly following me, so I had to hide far away. Although I saw them talking, I really couldn't hear anything."

Lei Yan looked unhappy, and shouted: "This matter can't be done well, what use are you for!"

The disciple wished he could bury his head in his chest, and didn't dare to say any more words.Lei Yan folded his hands behind his back, pondered for a long time, and said to himself: "Ouyang Shaogong thinks very highly of himself, and he would never make friends with a kid from the mountains for no reason... That kid came from Wumeng Linggu, Could it be that Shao Gong is trying to trick him into breaking the barrier?"

"If Elder Lei has any doubts, why didn't he come and ask in person? Why let Qin Shu sneak around and do some unsightly things~" The sudden voice not only startled Lei Yan and the disciple, but even Shen Bailing on the tree also felt his heart skip a beat. He looked down and saw a thin figure slowly circling behind a tree not far away. That person had clear eyebrows and a smile on his lips. It was Ouyang Shaogong.

Lei Yan saw him appearing at this time, and also heard the conversation between himself and his confidant disciple, his face suddenly became embarrassing, and the young disciple named Qin Shu fell to his knees in fright, begging again and again: "Uncle Master! Forgive me, disciple, disciple definitely did not intend to offend!"

Ouyang Shaogong didn't glance at him out of the corner of his eyes, just looked at Lei Yan and said with a smile: "The elder doesn't know something, I didn't deliberately hide it. It's just that I haven't found out anything before, so I was too happy, so I didn't reveal it."

Hearing this, Lei Yan said, "Then what did you find out now?"

Ouyang Shaogong nodded slowly, and said: "It's not in vain for me to deal with that child these days. Although this child is young, he knows a lot. Do you know that the person with the highest status in the Lingwu clan is the great witch Zhu of the clan?" , this child is the son of the great witch Zhu, so no one will keep the secrets in Wumengling Valley from him."

When Lei Yan heard this, a gleam of joy flashed across his face.Shen Bailing on the tree was heartbroken. He had been away from Wumeng Linggu for more than a year, and Han Yunxi was five years old now. He wanted to come to Han Xiuning to cultivate him, and he never concealed many things, but he never thought that this child would be deceived by outsiders. , Asked out the secret of Yanzhong?In his fright and anger, he couldn't help stretching out his hand towards Chunshui, just wanting to take this opportunity to kill Ouyang Shaogong with the sword, but at this time his skill has not fully recovered, and Ouyang Shaogong just appeared quietly, which shows that His skill is even better than before, if he misses a single hit, I'm afraid it will be a disaster. Thinking of this, his palm trembled slightly, and it was difficult to draw the sword out of its sheath.

At this time, Ouyang Shaogong said again: "Although he never mentioned anything related to the barrier, I heard that there seems to be an important guest coming to Wumeng Linggu seven days later, if that guest can enter the valley, then we can naturally. Moreover, seven days later it will be Twelve Days, which coincides with the time for the Lingwu Clan to sacrifice, and the valley will be full of hustle and bustle at that time, we can just take advantage of it by surprise, break into it, and snatch Fenji!"

Lei Yan clapped his hands and laughed loudly, praising: "As expected of Shao Gong, you are really smart! Just as you said, we will act in seven days!"

Ouyang Shaogong smiled more and more gently, and said: "Before that, it would be even better if we could find out the situation in Bingyan Cave from that child~"

When the twilight dyed the liquidambar leaves deep red, Shen Bailing finally returned to the cave where he and Jitong lived temporarily.Ji Tong was quite happy to see him come back, but when he saw his brows furrowed and his face gloomy, he quickly suppressed his smile and asked, "What's the matter?"

Shen Bailing glanced at her with a rather complicated expression, and asked, "Jitong, if Ouyang Shaogong had already decided to kill the Spirit Witch Clan...you..."

Ji Tong didn't wait for him to finish asking, his complexion changed drastically and he said: "Mr. Shen, Ji Tong is willing to swear here that he will never help the young master to harm innocent people again!"

Shen Bailing smiled wryly: "Of course I believe you, it's just..." Seven days later, I don't know if Master Hansu and Ziying will arrive, there are so many people in the Qingyu Altar, if it's just me and the Wuzhu Wuwei of the Lingwu Clan, Can it be stopped?His smile became more and more bitter, and he whispered: "No matter what, Ouyang Shaogong cannot be allowed to succeed..."

Ji Tong looked at him, her expression became more and more uncertain, after a while, she gritted her teeth, and a look of determination flashed quietly in her eyes.It's just that in that firmness, no matter how you look at it, there is a touch of desolation.
