smile to heart

=====================

Above Changting Yunshan Mountain, it was cloudy and less sunny, and even the morning light was slightly dim.

In front of the court, the old man stood under the new buds of the flower tree, holding the jade stick in his hand, raised his head and squinted his eyes to look at the sky, and his expression suddenly became clear.

"Brother."

As soon as Lin Tangfu entered the door, he first called Qi Yuxing who stood in front of the hall to calm himself down.

"If you have anything to do, let's go into the house and talk about it."

Qi Yuxing seemed to understand what Lin Tang wanted to say, and calmly led him in.

After the two sat opposite each other, Qi Yuxing removed the wine glasses on the low table, set up the fire again, and started to boil tea.

"Brother, the young girl and I have been to Jingxin for a few days, and it is time to return home today. But there is no news so far. Recently, a strange case has appeared in Shangjiang. I am worried..."

Lin Tang hurriedly explained the reason, with a worried expression on his face.

Qi Yuxing poured tea calmly, his eyes calm.

"Today's wind direction and Hinata are all bad luck. Your worries are unnecessary."

At the first hearing, Lin Tang was faintly disturbed, eager to get up: "Then I will immediately send someone down the mountain to pick them up."

"and many more."

Qi Yuxing beckoned him to sit down, and after serving tea, he continued: "No matter what kind of message you receive today, don't let anyone go down the mountain. Especially you and me."

"Why?" Lin Tang asked in astonishment.

Qi Yuxing sighed softly: "Those who come are not kind, and those who are kind don't come. The last thing Changting can't show right now is his strength."

Hearing the last sentence, Lin Tang's doubts were quite resolved, his face darkened, and he asked again: "Then if the two of them are in danger on the way, and we don't rescue them, wouldn't it be bad luck for them?"

"Ah……"

Qi Yuxing was not in a hurry to answer, and laughed lowly.The moment he held the tea, a young sprout fell from the treetop outside the door and landed on his old palm.

"You see. That's the way it is."

When Lin Tang heard this, his gaze was fixed on the tender green for a moment, as if some kind of new life was surging.

……

"Second sect masters, the young master is back."

The two who were talking seriously in the room were suddenly interrupted by the disciple who sent the message.

Lin Tang frowned slightly displeased: "When you come back, you will come back. It's not a big deal, why are you panicking?"

"Yes... Sect Leader Lin calm down, calm down."

The disciple who sent the message was stunned by the roar, and hurriedly retreated, and relayed the message to Lin Jing who was waiting outside the door.

Lin Jing, who originally thought that Fu Hui's perfectly completed work would win a lot of praise, suddenly became angry after hearing such an attitude.

"My dad really said that?"

"Yes. Master Lin was discussing important matters with Head Qi..." the young disciple replied.

Lin Jing gritted her teeth unwillingly: It's Qi Zhong's master again!Since the two of them returned to Changting, this sect has become theirs!hateful!

"Hmph!" After hesitating for a while, Lin Jing threw up her sleeves and left unhappily.

In the forest at the foot of the mountain, the wind leaves the sound.Bathed in the light and shadow from the gaps in the shade, the natural breath becomes clear.

Qi Zhong rested his hands on the back of his head, and raised his head with a dense foliage, like a canopy, protecting the two on their way home.

Seeing that the master's gate was close at hand, Qi Zhong couldn't help feeling a little happier.

Turning around, he was about to say something happy, but he saw Lin Weier next to him lost his mind all the way to this place, with his eyes lowered, and he was driving limply on the road.

"Hey, little bitter gourd, what's wrong with you? It's been so quiet all the way."

He nodded Lin Weier's head lightly, and coaxed him with a smile.

"Ah? Me, I'm fine." Lin Weier, who came back to his senses, shook his head and smiled casually.

Qi finally thought about it, and felt that he needed to find a way to make her happy.

Then he stepped forward with his hands behind his back, stood in front of her, and looked at her squarely: "Ahem."

Lin Weier woke up from the memory of the conversation with Tang Lanqi that day, stared at Qi Zhong's smiling face above his head, and was about to ask something.

But Qi Zhong stretched out his hand, and a woven handicraft that looked like a butterfly and a flower was vividly displayed in her eyes.

"No. Here it is for you, smile, little junior sister."

"It's so pretty. Brother Qi, when did you buy it?"

Lin Weier quickly took the exquisite handicraft and held it in his hand, liking it very much.

"Don't worry about it, just accept it."

Seeing her smile, Qi Zhong felt relieved, and the two chatted again, talking and laughing along the path in the forest to go home.

But they didn't know that this scene fell into the eyes of a masked woman in red on the forest not far away.

Under the veil, the woman smiled coldly, raised her hand indifferently, and a strange black box appeared in the palm of her hand.I saw that she had performed a little spiritual magic, and the contents of the box came out like a plume of black smoke, and quickly swam away along the aura left by Qi Zhong and the two of them.

……

"Out of the grove, we're in front of the mountain gate. We're finally home."

Looking at the corner of the stone wall of the teacher's gate, Qi Zhong cheered happily.

Lin Weier laughed and enlightened him all the way, and she was in a bright mood at the moment, and nodded: "Yes. This integration has finally completed the task successfully. Hey, it's really tiring to go down the mountain."

"Hahaha... Didn't you always quarrel with senior brother that I won't take you down the mountain? Why do you regret it now?"

Qi finally followed her words and joked.

Lin Weier shot him a look, and when he was about to refute, he keenly heard a strange sound coming from the woods beside him.

"Brother... Listen, there seems to be some strange noise?"

Qi Zhong also came to his senses and looked around vigilantly, looking for the source of the sound.

The two didn't dare to move rashly for a while, and moved forward cautiously.

The top of the head suddenly darkened, and a black wind swept in from the forest.

The moment Lin Weier tilted his head, a ferocious monster suddenly roared out from the jungle, opened its teeth and claws, and attacked her.

The fright slowed down her drawing the sword, and when she saw that the monster's sharp claw was about to slash off, someone pulled her elbow hard, staggered back a few steps, and escaped from the claw.

"Little Junior Sister, get out of the way!"

When Lin Weier reacted, Qi Zhong had already attracted the monster's attention.

Forced to calm down, she touched the signal firework on her waist, quickly took it out, and launched it into the sky, blooming brilliantly.

"boom--"

The huge explosion sounded in their ears, which made the hearts of the two of them settle down a little.

It means that someone from Shimen will come to rescue them soon, as long as it delays for a while... Qi Zhong thought as he led the monster to run wild in the forest to ensure that it would not hurt Junior Sister.

It's just that this monster is huge and extremely ferocious. It knocked down the big trees along the road by the roots, and Qi Zhong almost had nowhere to hide.

Lin Weier was worried, so he drew his sword and ran to help him.

Unexpectedly, before the sneak attack was successful, the monster noticed her first, turned its head and roared, and rushed over with heavy hooves.

"Little Junior Sister!"

Seeing the shadow in front of him turning around, Qi Zhong turned around in panic.

Lin Wei'er had never seen such a ferocious monster before. He couldn't think of any other way except to stand still and block it with his sword.

A weak woman fights a fierce beast, and the result can be imagined.

As soon as Qi Zhong arrived, he saw the sword in Junior Sister's hand was trampled away, and the person was blown to the ground by the wind and sand from the sharp hooves.

All internal organs were damaged, Lin Weier fell to the ground, with a mouthful of black blood on his head, and fell into a weak coma.

"Weir! Wake up!"

Stimulated by the smell of blood, the monster became ferocious, raised its head to the sky and roared, and trampled heavily on it.

Qi Zhong subconsciously pulled out the sword from his waist, but nothing happened, feeling in vain for a moment.

……

Seeing the distress signal in the sky above the master's gate, Changting's disciples were all ready to go down the mountain, but when they arrived at the gate, they were stopped by an iron order from Lintang.

Everyone stood there in bewilderment and confusion, discussing in whispers.

In the gust of wind, the woman in red stepped on the leaves and flew into the air, and flew to the forest top beside the fierce battle to watch.

On Qianqianyu's finger, the red Kodan is coquettish, and strands of red threads emerge from under the nails of the ten fingers, from top to bottom, escaping into the ground.

"Uh... poof—"

Kong possessed force and ingenuity, but Qi finally couldn't deal with this monster. When he jumped up countless times, he was exhausted. He was slapped away by the monster, slapped on the tree trunk, and then fell heavily. Vomit a mouthful of blood.

The sword behind him was also thrown aside, indifferent.

When I tried to lift the force again, it was already difficult to move.

The blood on his forehead dripped down at the end of his eyes, Qi finally wiped it off with great effort, and stood up with the dead branches beside him.

The monster jumped up and down twice, and ran towards him in a hurry.Qi Zhong saw the opportunity, knelt down and slid into its lower abdomen, took out the knife from his waist, and stabbed it into the heart of the monster without any explanation.

The hard body, only here is soft and can be hit.

"Ow—"

The sharp weapon plunged in, the monster screamed in pain, and dark green dirty blood spurted down, Qi finally seized the opportunity to turn over and get out.

Covering his heart veins, he picked up his saber, and rushed to Lin Weier's side, protecting her unconscious in his arms, and escaped from this place while the monster was distracted in pain.

But as soon as he took a step, countless blood-red silk threads suddenly drilled out of the ground in front of him, tight and sharp, blocking his way.

"...Damn it! It's Linglongxin." He cursed in a low voice, looked around, and was already trapped by these weird red threads, making it hard to find.

Sweat and blood on his forehead kept sliding down his cheeks, Qi Zhong's heart beat fast, he looked down at Junior Sister's pale face, and felt distressed.

His eyes turned cold, he forced himself to calm down, and ran around these red lines, trying to find the weakest layer to break through.

Murderous intentions are everywhere, after the monster beast wailed just now, the wound on its heart healed again, it was already enraged at this moment, it stared at Qi Zhong's figure with its ugly eyes and ran straight towards it.

Qi Zhong turned around and saw that he was entangled by monsters again, and his patience was exhausted.

Knowing that he couldn't slow down, otherwise the two of them would die, Qi Zhong was filled with anger and resentment at the same time, while running, he occasionally felt a strong force emerging from his limbs to his heart veins.

"...Little Junior Sister, hold on! Senior Brother will definitely take you home safely!"

Running while making promises, trying to find life, but looking up, it turned out to be a dead end!

Qi Zhong felt desperate in his heart. Seeing the monsters attacking behind him, the road ahead was a tight red line. When he was in a dilemma, he chose to use all his strength to step on the stone next to him. Just when the monster collided with it, he jumped onto its back, stopped for a step, and landed on the ground.

The sharp red line cut off the horns on the top of the monster's head, and it roared loudly again.

Qi Zhong had no more energy left to run, his sore elbows were trembling, and he was forced to let Wei Er down.

The moment he let go, the saber couldn't hold it anymore, and rolled into the nearby grass.

"Boom--, boom--"

There was a sound of clumsy footsteps behind him, indicating that the monster turned around and came running.

Qi Zhong was powerless, and his sweat kept dripping into the dust.

Seeing the shadow ahead, the monster raised its giant hooves, ready to crush it.

Qi Zhong hardened his heart, put his hands on the ground, and gritted his teeth to support the heavy weight.

At the moment when the palms and hooves pressed against his back, there was still a narrow space to protect the junior sister under him.

"Uh……"

He really overestimated himself. With that pressure, he suddenly felt that his internal organs were squeezed and deformed. Black blood kept gushing from the corners of his lips, and he was already dying.

At this moment, the woman in red witnessed this scene, and suddenly stopped the rotating red thread, her eyes trembled slightly, and she looked at the crouching body of the man complicatedly.

"A body of flesh and blood, delusional to fight with your life? It's really beyond self-control."

There was a hint of shock in her cold and sarcastic voice.

"Could it be...do you really want to die at the door of your house?"

Qi Zhong murmured, his consciousness somewhat blurred.

Glancing at the saber lying beside the grass, I recalled the words of the old man: "...the hand can make the sword, and the heart can make the sword..."

"Heart, the heart can make the sword..."

Qi Zhong spit out these words with a mouth full of blood, and Qi Zhong's heart trembled suddenly.

"I can die, my junior sister can't die, she is still young, and I haven't seen so many beautiful things in this world, so I can't die!"

Looking down, Qi finally felt sore.

For a moment, unwillingness and determination inspired a certain weirdness in his body.Immediately, he looked at Ling Han, looked at the ancient sword, and commanded with his heart: "... get up!"

"Kill it, kill this monster!"

The moment he let out the final roar, and the moment his heart was filled with killing intent, Qi Zhong instantly felt a powerful real energy swimming in his body, so small that every hair could feel that real force keenly.

The Shadow Falling Sword also rose at this moment, and the moment it was unsheathed, a cold light appeared, and after a short period of suspension, it pierced through the body of the monster like a shadow of the wind, breaking it into ashes.

The sharp sword then cut off the obstructing red line, and finally returned to the ground gorgeously. The moment it stood upright, the brilliance suddenly dissipated, and a layer of mighty force was released, breaking trees and falling stones wherever it went, with extremely strong destructive power.

When the woman in red lost her mind, she was already injured by the fierce sword energy, and the red line formation was shattered and invalid.

"Uh... what a strong sword energy."

She raised her true essence vigorously and maintained a steady posture, but there was a trace of blood on the corner of her lips.The plan had already failed, and she couldn't stay for long, so she turned and walked away.

"...Okay, good job."

The last words Qi Zhong said before he fell into a coma were to praise his sword with a smile, and then the real power in his body dissipated, and he closed his eyes and passed out.
