smile to heart

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

In the silent forest night, everyone has been running around all day, and they are all tired and asleep.At this moment, he suddenly heard the alarm of the return of the sentinel.

"Everyone, get up, the hornet demon is here."

"Come on. Don't sleep."

For a while, sparks filled the forest, and everyone was vigilant, listening to the buzzing noise in their ears, and they all felt headaches.

Lu Zhiyao followed Mu Yun's advice and organized most people to evacuate the place. While running, Lin Jing suddenly rushed out, holding a compass, and led the crowd in another direction without any explanation.

"Going this way is a safe place."

Lu Zhiyao was about to ask, but found that the crowd had already started to move, and he was still taking care of his younger sister, so he didn't say anything more, and followed suit.

Qi finally looked at Mu Yun, whose eyes were broken, and felt relieved, so he turned back and helped in the dark.

He took out a torch, and cleverly took advantage of the wind to ignite the fallen flowers in the forest one by one, taking advantage of the momentum to burn away most of the bee demons in the air.

Seeing a large piece of sparks falling, Mu Yun was about to stop the hand of the sword formula, suddenly inspired, changed his offensive, and sent countless sparks into a whirlwind again, forming a wall of fire to block the attack of the bee demon.

Qi Zhong nodded in relief, ready to take a step ahead, when he turned around, a poisonous needle brushed against his ear and nailed it to the bark.

He secretly sighed that it was dangerous, and when he looked up, those hornet demons seemed to be cornered and began to fight desperately, releasing poisonous needles one after another to attack.

Poisonous needles are not easy to burn, and countless needles rained through the fire wall, forcing Mu Yun to a narrow corner, using the stone wall to temporarily hide.

Qi Zhong looked a little anxious. When he was protecting himself, he scratched his head and thought hard: There is no way for these hornet demons to come continuously. It would be great if they could be led into the fire and burned to death.

It should be useful to create a phantom formation with a honey fragrance, but as soon as I make a move, won't he discover my existence?

After hesitating for a while, Qi finally slapped himself on the forehead: "What time is it? It doesn't matter whether he likes to see him or not."

After thinking about it, he lightly twirled his fingertips, a little flower drifted away with the wind.

There were as many poisonous needles as a cow's hair, but they were blocked by a rain of flowers, the resistance disappeared, and the landing range was much shorter.

Mu Yun was wondering where the inexplicable rain of tung blossoms came from, and he had already caught a glimpse of a familiar figure behind the tree, and his heart felt warm.

Furthermore, the fragrance of flowers gradually carried a hint of sweet and greasy honey fragrance, which made the hornet monsters put down their guard and search for the honey fragrance. They rushed into the rising wall of fire like crazy demons, burned to ashes, and didn't even know it.

"Hmph, stupid bee demon."

Qi finally saw that the land was almost wiped out, so he withdrew his hands and prepared to leave.

As soon as he turned around, a poisonous needle suddenly struck, straight at his pupils, and it was too late to raise his hand to block it.He froze in place, so bewildered that he even forgot to close his eyes.

In an instant, there was a crisp sound of "Ding--", and the poisonous needle fell to the ground.

Qi Zhong stared straight at the point of the sword that was blocking the way in front of him, the faint sword aura hadn't retreated yet, it can be seen that the sword was coming out quickly and urgently.The lingering glow of the sword can best reveal the state of mind of the sword wielder, such deep worry that even the saber trembled slightly.

Looking at each other without words, Qi Zhong silently withdrew his gaze and said in a nasal voice, "Thank you."

Mu Yun looked at him lightly, seemingly questioning him silently.

With his head down and a guilty conscience, Qi Zhong faltered: "Don't think too much about it. I stayed because I placed an order."

"Let's go together." Mu Yun tightened his sword hand, trying to maintain his indifference, but his words revealed deep concern.

Qi Zhong put his hands behind his back and nodded obediently.

……

In the dark night, the two followed the marks left by Landing Yao along the way, crossed several deep grass roads, and hurried to the meeting point.

But when he got closer, Qi finally realized that this was a dead end, and everyone stopped outside the door of an ancient tomb in frustration, with anxious faces.

"Xiao Yun..." Lu Zhiyao's eyes were filled with shame, he hesitated to say anything to Mu Yun, and leading the way to this point was causing him new troubles.

Mu Yun patted his shoulder lightly, smiled and comforted him: "It's good that he's not injured, we'll find a way out together."

The scene of Hele's forgiveness fell into the eyes of the bystanders, and a feeling of loneliness suddenly arose.Qi Zhong laughed at himself and walked away silently.

It happened that Mu Yun turned his head and caught a glimpse of him leaving sadly, secretly unable to bear it.But he also thought of the so-called fate and regret, so he had to stop where he was.

At this time, the crowd shouted: "Everyone, hurry up and enter the ancient tomb, it's safe inside."

Everyone heard the sound and looked, and found that Lin Jing was playing tricks, putting a hexagram on the ground, and then babbling.

"Lin Jing, how do you know if it's safe inside?"

"First I have a compass for guidance, and now I rely on my uncle Daofeizi's true spiritual divination technique to make predictions. The hexagrams have already shown that it is safe inside."

Lin Jing's confident reply made everyone's attitude divided.

"real or fake?"

"Should we trust him?"

"Let's listen to Mr. Mu and the others."

……

Min Zhi heard what he said there in a mysterious way, inspiring people's hearts, hesitated for a moment, and poked Lin Weier beside him: "Is your brother crazy?"

Lin Weier shook his head in disgust: "I don't know. He doesn't recognize my shameful sister outside."

"Uh..." Min Zhi poked Qi Zhong who was next to him again, "Hey, that guy said that your master really passed it on, don't you think so?"

"It's like a fart! I'm going to expose him."

The master's secret was taken out and tampered with for no reason, and it was embarrassing to see it.Rao Qi finally didn't want to face the conflict with Lin Jing, and couldn't stand it anymore.

The doubtful crowd surrounded him curiously.

Lin Jing was extremely confident, raised her head and said: "Everyone, go in quickly, there may be evidence of the case we are looking for inside."

Hearing this, everyone looked behind him, and there were bright lights in the dark ancient tomb, faint and long, which looked much warmer and safer than the dark night scene outside, so everyone couldn't help but relax their vigilance.

"Hey. Why don't you just go in and have a look, anyway, we have a lot of people, so there's nothing to be afraid of."

"That's right. It's cold and unsafe outside, and it's also scary to stay here."

"That's right, let's go."

……

"Everyone, wait. Don't go in yet."

Lu Zhiyao came in a hurry to stop the overzealous actions of these people who are fearless just because of the number of people.

"Third Young Master is forming an formation, so you can sleep safely outside for a day. Don't panic and get into danger."

When everyone heard this, they hesitated again, looked at each other, and stopped at the door.

Lin Jing was rather displeased: "Mr. Lu, if you don't understand the hexagrams, don't talk nonsense, okay? I have already confirmed that there is no danger in it."

Lu Zhiyao snorted coldly: "I only trust Mu Yun's judgment."

Clenching her fist, Lin Jing felt unwilling, pushed away the crowd, got into the ancient tomb, and threatened: "Everyone, don't believe him, this night is still so long, if the formation is not protected by someone all the time, it will be destroyed at any time. They will all fall apart, do you think the people forming the formation will put down their bodies and protect you all the time?"

"Follow me, brothers. It's warm inside."

Everyone thought about what he said and thought it made sense.After all, Lin Jing has also gained a lot of prestige by relying on his ability to deceive people's hearts during this time. After a few obsessed dog legs are ready to move, they also follow in.

Lu Zhiyao urged: "You guys, don't go!"

Min Zhi and the others who rushed over saw this scene, their faces were full of confusion: "Are these people deaf? They said it's dangerous, so they still go in?"

Qi Zhong shook his head helplessly, and followed into the ancient tomb.

Min Zhi didn't have time to hold him back, and shouted anxiously: "Ah, why are you running in?"

"I'll go get them out."

There was an echo in the cave, and Lu Zhiyao saw that something was wrong, so he hurried to inform Mu Yun.

……

In view of acting separately, it is impossible to take care of them.In the end, Mu Yun had no choice but to take the rest of the people into the tomb to investigate.

After entering the tomb, as the narrower and more complicated roads intersected each other, everyone began to regret and walk timidly.

But when they heard the report from the person who went back to investigate the exit, saying that the outer door had been sealed, everyone's minds completely collapsed, completely hopeless, and they stopped in a corner to blame Lin Jing in annoyance.

At this time, Mu Yun led the people to find the way back from the other intersection.Seeing this, everyone saw hope in their eyes, and rushed forward: "How is it? Is there an exit over there?"

Lu Zhiyao and the others showed embarrassment, and the silence was already a statement.

Everyone was full of complaints and whispering.

Qi Zhong glared at them, and some people restrained their embarrassing eyes.

"Right now, we can only go to a deeper tomb."

Lu Zhiyao glanced at the pensive Mu Yun, and kindly reminded him.

Before Mu Yun could make a statement, there was another ear-piercing scream: "Ah, there are bugs."

Seeing that Lu Shutong was frightened by the spider on the stone wall, Lin Weier quickly pulled her up and comforted her: "Sister Lu, it's okay, it has already crawled away..."

Lu Shutong didn't appreciate it, pushed her away, limped towards Mu Yun, and cried miserably, "Brother Jingyao, when can we go out? It's scary inside..."

Everyone stood aside spontaneously, digging their ears a little noisy.

"Junior Sister, are you alright?" After witnessing the scene just now, Qi Zhong hurriedly stood beside Lin Weier, asking each other with concern.

"fine."

Min Zhi frowned, and snorted coldly: "What's all right? She's gone too far. A dog bites Lu Dongbin, and she doesn't know a good heart. Weier, just wait, I'll help you teach her a lesson."

"Hey, Ah Zhi..."

Lin Weier was about to keep her, but Qi Zhong stopped her: "Let her go. Otherwise, when people keep making noises and worrying, Mr. Mu San is a god, and he can't think quietly..."

"Huh?" Lin Weier turned her head in a daze, her eyes were a little suspicious, she thought that Qi finally wanted Min Zhi to seek justice for herself.

Min Zhi impatiently walked towards the corner where there were constant chatter, Mu Yun had spoken out many times to comfort her, but Lu Shutong was still crying, and the people beside her were quite critical.

"Woo, miss, do you think we will die here?"

"Die you die, don't pull us."

With a light snort, Min Zhi glanced coldly, Su'e didn't even have the confidence to refute.

When Lu Shutong saw that she was making trouble again, she hurriedly stopped crying and hid behind Lu Zhiyao, feeling very wronged.

Min Zhi laughed in a low voice, and said again: "I said Miss Lu, didn't you ask for this now? At Jiugai Mountain, the immortal said that weak relatives like you don't need to enter the mountain. You didn’t even come, so you have to follow, and now it’s like crying at a funeral, isn’t it bothersome?”

"I..." Lu Shutong gritted her teeth, she just didn't want to give up the chance to get along with the person she admired, why so many people came to stop her.

Blinking her eyes, she lowered her head in aggrieved way: "I'm sorry, it's me who has caused everyone..."

"Miss, it's not your fault. It's clear that some people deliberately targeted it."

Su'e loyally protects the lord and sings a harmony.

Min Zhi has long been tired of these tricks, not to suffer a second time, and said bluntly: "There is no need to apologize. Please start now, put away your acting posture, and don't let Mr. Mu be distracted from thinking, it is to us the greatest responsibility."

"You!" Lu Shutong glared back angrily, but there was nothing to refute.

In the blink of an eye, Mu Yun was no longer by his side.Min Zhi snorted lightly, and left proudly.

……

"Hiss, the sand is so loose, it doesn't seem like a good material for a tomb..."

Under the corner of the wall, Qi finally found something suspicious, squatting on the ground, guessing by himself.

Suddenly, he felt a serious gaze falling on him from behind, hesitated for a moment, and tilted his head tentatively.

The person hovering behind him immediately closed his eyes and left with his sleeves raised.

Knowing the answer already in his heart, Qi Zhong pursed his lips, picked up the twigs on the ground, scribbled on the pile of sand just now, and said in a low voice: "Hmph. If you don't want to talk to me, don't talk to me. I'll tell you one more word. I'm a puppy..."

When everyone was groping forward in the ancient tomb, the person holding the torch at the front suddenly exclaimed: "Look here quickly."

Hearing the sound, the people behind hurried up, and a group of people stood in a wide arc, looking at the place where the torches were shining.

Qi Zhong squeezed through the crowd and took a closer look. In the corner under the firelight, there were rows of corpses piled up. The color was still new, and they didn't look like old bones buried with ancient tombs.

"Are these the bones of those missing monks?"

Someone gave the answer in a nutshell.Everyone knows it well but feels scared.

Because the corpse suddenly twisted a few times, a lot of wriggling and disgusting white insects crawled out, curled up and stretched on the ground, as if they were approaching everyone in a special way.

Mu Yun saw the clue, and repeatedly ordered: "Back."

Everyone was afraid, and they did it again and again.

Lin Jing didn't take it seriously, because he failed to lead the way just now and was constantly scolded, he wanted to fight back, so he stepped forward and stomped several bugs to death.

Arrogantly said: "Aren't they just a few bugs? What are you afraid of?"

Qi finally stroked his heart, frowned and said, "Are you disgusting?"

Lin Jing was stubborn and arrogant: "Why, are you afraid again? Then don't look at it, lest you faint from fright later and have to find someone to carry you out."

"It's not certain who was carried out. Look at your own feet."

Qi Zhong was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and bluntly said that his injuries were obvious.

Everyone's eyes fell on Lin Jing's lap, and found that where he had stood, besides the corpse of the bug, there was also a puddle of dark green and weird blood that continued to spread.

"Ah! My foot! It hurts like hell."

The toxin dissipated quickly, and Lin Jing couldn't stand anymore, and fell to the ground. Seeing this, the insects rushed towards Lin Jing, as if they saw their prey caught in the net.

He panicked: "Save me, save me quickly!"

Everyone took a step back, feeling even more unlucky.

Mu Yun stepped forward quickly, and while looking down, he used his own blood as a guide to draw a circle of blood around Lin Jing to block the white worm's attack.

Then he followed up cautiously, squatting on one knee, and asked about his condition: "Mr. Lin, how are you feeling?"

Lin Jing was in so much pain that she couldn't bear it, and she yelled furiously, "Are you blind? My legs are going to die of pain!"

Seeing this, Qi Zhong leaned forward impulsively, but restrained his emotions and took a calm look.

Seeing Lin Jing's ignorance of flattery, everyone shook their heads and whispered, mocking Lin Jing's stupidity.

Mu Yun's face was indifferent, and he pointed to Lingfeng, and gently lifted the cloth on his leg, but saw that the injury had deteriorated, and a black blood vessel had grown on the skin, continuously spreading upwards.

It is unsolvable by ordinary Qihuang technique, Mu Yun pondered for a moment, afraid that blocking the meridians at will would hurt the body, so he hesitated for a while.

Lin Jing was even more annoyed when he saw that he was unwilling to rescue him for a long time: "Hurry up and save me! I have no feeling in my legs."

Concentrated, Mu Yun didn't think about it any more, he condensed his energy, and tapped on the edge of his wound to temporarily curb the speed of the toxin from spreading.

But at the moment when he withdrew his spiritual power, the surrounding white worms just ate up all the blood on the ground, and swarmed up, forming a strange insect formation, trapping the two of them in the vortex of black air, constantly sucking everyone's spiritual energy Power.

"Mu Yun..." Qi Zhong couldn't help calling out, stepped forward resolutely, and forcibly pulled him back.

"Don't cross! Those bugs are sucking your spiritual power."

Anxiously reminded, after all, he was the one who said it first, Qi finally lowered his head under Mu Yun's gaze, and said in a low voice: "The puppy is still myself..."

"Ah! If you don't save me, let's die together!"

Seeing that she was abandoned beside the corpse, Lin Jing immediately lost her mind. She drew out her long sword and slashed randomly.

Min Zhi rolled his eyes and said contemptuously, "Selfishness is hopeless."

The insects became more and more dense, crawling forward on the ground, and another lunatic hacked with a sword, causing the sky in the tomb to be dark.

Qi Zhong gritted his teeth, unable to swallow the anger, picked up a small stone on the ground, and flew it with a snap of his fingers.It just happened to hit Lin Jing's injured leg, causing him to kneel in embarrassment, and then he stopped making the sword crazy.

It's just that the last sword aura that he hadn't withdrawn the sword turned for a while because of his fall, and suddenly attacked the pair of corpses beside him.

With a bang, there were many bones, all messy and scattered, spreading all over the floor.

Everyone covered their faces and sighed again: "It's a crime!"

At this moment, Mu Yun made a decisive decision and stepped forward to touch Lin Jing's acupoints, so that he could no longer stimulate the vitality, and exercise would only accelerate the spread of the toxin.

"Detoxification Pill. Give it to him."

Lu Zhiyao returned the elixir to Mu Yun, quite guilty: after all the fuss, all the elixirs on Mu Yun's body were given to Lu Shutong to protect his life.

"Ah."

The elixir can only suppress the toxicity, but if it doesn't come out of the ancient tomb, it may be life-threatening.

Mu Yun handed the wounded to Lu Zhiyao, looked up at the hard barrier above his head, and thought suddenly.

At this moment, the army of white worms retreated suddenly, and slowly drilled back into the crevices of the stone walls in all directions.

Everyone was overjoyed and applauded.

"The bugs have retreated. They must have been scared by us."

"Great, let's go back, I can't stay in this ghost place."

……

Qi Zhong pinched his chin, more suspicious: "It shouldn't be, why are they running? Could it be..."

"Boom—"

While he was meditating, there was a loud bang above his head.

Looking up, the neither wide nor narrow sky light fell, illuminating the ancient tomb with a glimmer of light.Everyone is happy.

Qi Zhong looked worried, and looked around for Mu Yun, and finally saw him at the edge who adjusted his internal energy.

"You...are you crazy? In this tomb, our spiritual power is limited, and you forcefully use your true energy to break through the ceiling, which will cause internal injuries!"

Putting his hand on Mu Yun's shoulder, Qi Zhong was very worried. He had put in a lot of effort to suppress Lin Jing's poison just now, and the stone wall of the ancient tomb was not made of ordinary materials. Such a gamble will cost your life.

Seeing that Mu Yun was only sweating a little, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thanks for caring."

It's another polite reply that rejects people thousands of miles away.Qi finally endured his emotions, and quickly helped him up, only to find that his hand was pushed away without a trace.

He froze in place, forgetting to think, just watched Mu Yun bravely leave, and pretended to deal with everyone's panic.

Closing his eyes, Qi Zhong felt pain in his throat, his eyes turned red, and he leaned on the wall uncomfortably, feeling sulky.

Just when everyone was about to get out of the ancient tomb through the skylight, the ground suddenly shook violently, and the surrounding walls shook, as if they were about to crack at any moment.

"Why did the ground move?"

"Hey, come to the middle, the stone wall has cracked a lot."

"Hey, the ground is falling."

……

In a panic, everyone huddled together again, and the arc standing under their feet suddenly turned into a landing platform, quickly descending in the endless abyss.

The feeling of falling off a cliff quickly caused everyone to panic. Seeing the skylight above their heads getting farther and farther away, despair gradually spread.

It's been a long time since he heard that person came forward to comfort people, Qi Zhong looked around for Mu Yun's figure, but found that he was in a corner, covering his face and coughing heavily, too busy to take care of himself.It should be that he was also anxious about the sudden and dangerous situation just now, and he was so anxious that his internal injuries were hard to suppress.

Qi Zhong let out a long sigh, and said in his heart: Idiot, I told you to be brave.

Just as he was about to take a step to care, Qi Zhong staggered a step suddenly, and his heart suddenly hurt for a moment, telling him to stop where he was.A thought suddenly flashed in his mind, reminding him to pay attention to the left stone wall.

Following his heart, he turned his head to look, and there was a red scarlet snake hovering on a protruding brick on the stone wall, spitting a message at him.

Fortunately, it is far away, so it can't bite me.Qi finally exhaled, thinking that his sense of crisis reminded him.

But as the platform descended, and the snake got farther and farther away, he felt that something was wrong just looking at it.The protruding red brick seemed a bit like the control hub of some mechanism.

Boldly guessing, Qi Zhong borrowed the arrows of the people around him, skillfully exerted force, and easily shot the red brick under the red snake. After receiving the force, the brick moved and fell into the stone wall.

Waited for a while.

The ground stops falling and even rises slowly.The people who were originally in a gloomy mood cheered up again, looking hopefully at the approach of the skylight.

Qi Zhong clapped his hands and was about to go to find Mu Yun, but the ground was not rising steadily, dangling, and those standing on the edge were worried, for fear that if they were not careful, they would fall into the abyss in front of them.

Seeing this, Qi Zhong didn't want to jostle around anymore, he stayed on the edge peacefully, and was going to go out later to care about it.

Seeing that the light from the skylight is getting brighter and brighter, the goal is getting closer and closer.The accident happened again, and a scream suddenly shocked everyone's eardrums.

"Ah! Miss!"

Su'e yelled, seeing that Lu Shutong was about to be squeezed out of the platform, she burst into tears.

"People over there, stop crowding, my lady is about to fall."

The honest person on the edge, sincere and helpless: "We didn't squeeze, she was the one who wanted to go around here to find Mr. Mu..."

Lu Zhiyao called her urgently: "Sister, don't leave, it's dangerous."

Lu Shutong also panicked, she took a shortcut and didn't go through it, the terrain here is still so rough, she was trapped on the edge, she panicked and shouted: "Brother, save me..."

As soon as the words fell, the platform shook violently again.At this time, Lu Shutong wanted to stand firm and had no other choice, so he let go and fell out.

Lu Zhiyao didn't have time to pass, and the people around were distracted and didn't catch her hand. They watched her feet peel off the edge of the platform, and she was about to fall into the abyss.

In just a split second, Qi Zhong saw that the person was not far from his side, so without thinking too much, he jumped up, instead of turning his body for an instant, he sent a palm to Lu Shutong's shoulder, pushing her forward and leaning back again.

However, the force of the recoil was enough to send him falling into the dark abyss.The moment he found out that he couldn't go up, Qi Zhong regretted a little, and sighed lightly: "Why should I be such a fake good person? That idiot won't appreciate it..."

On the platform, everyone panicked and shouted.

Before he calmed down, another familiar figure fell into the abyss beside him.

Lu Zhiyao stared straight at his eyes, and caught a gust of wind: "Mu Yun! Come back!"

Everyone gasped, and hurriedly helped and called people back.

Min Zhi was so angry that Lin Weier couldn't hold her back. The two looked at Qi Zhongzhuiyuan's direction with teary eyes, crying and crying.

……

The platform rose to the skylight, and everyone was safe, except for two people who lived and died without a trace.
