smile to heart

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

Under the starry sky, a sword light suddenly passed through the forest of flowers, and rushed towards the place where the eastern morning light first appeared.

Qi Zhong kept walking, looking at the sword light flashing in the sky in front of him, but it led him to run on the ground aimlessly, and there was no tendency for him to stop. My waist is relieved for a while.

After resting enough, he looked up and saw that Yingluojian had been chased by him, and there was no trace of light on the silent night sky except for the stars and the moon.

Sighing, Qi Zhong complained: "This broken sword, why is it crazy?"

"Huh, love will come back or not. I'm leaving."

He turned around angrily, and was about to return, but he saw that there were scattered trees all around, and the grass roads were all the same. He thought to himself, if there were no accidents, he would have lost his way again in this situation.

Patting his head, he leaned against the tree trunk dejectedly, thinking that Mu Yun would wake up from sleep and follow the footprints to find him...

By the third watch, Qi Zhong had already taken a nap on the spot.He rubbed his eyes, but he was still the only one left in the lonely surroundings.

The sword did not come back, and no one came.

He was faintly disappointed, but also anxious. The forest was not absolutely safe. The man had relaxed his vigilance and rested because of his injury, but he was still by his side and could take care of him. It's not waking up, isn't it very dangerous...

Thinking about it this way, Qi Zhong blamed himself for the urge to run out without saying hello just now.The thought of going back full of heart made him even more anxious.

But I really don't know which way to choose.At this time, a voice suddenly crossed his mind, reminding him to use illusion.

In a hurry, Qi Zhong didn't doubt where the strange reminder came from, but just let the flow take the flow and use the flowers and leaves as a medium to extract the spiritual information from their memory.This is the first step in making illusions, and he only needs to use this step to know the destination.

When the fallen flowers scattered on the grass before the third watch, received the guidance, they gradually returned to the branches, and the scene when he first came slowly overlapped. Qi finally looked at the darker path on the right, feeling quite familiar, Then he walked over.

As soon as he stepped into the flowers, a shining sword light flew across, hanging in front of his eyes, like a guide.

Qi Zhong was happy but secretly unhappy, sarcastically said: "Yo, you have a big temper, are you willing to come back and lead me the way?"

……

On the banks of the grass near the river, many dark black bubbles suddenly popped up in the starry river, with evil spirits, they invaded the bank little by little, and slowly approached the person who was resting beside the stone.

The black wind howled, piercing through the forest.Facing the person next to Baishi, who came towards him, suddenly exuded a spooky atmosphere.

At the moment when the dark clouds covered the moon, the evil spirit in the river reached its peak, a huge black fish monster suddenly jumped out of the water, swung its tail loudly, stirred up a thousand layers of huge waves, and laid heavily on the motionless Mu Yun on the bank.

The water spray was mixed with boundless black air, piercing through the trees, and when it was about to hit him, Mu Yun suddenly opened his eyes, and said coldly: "Stand back!"

All of a sudden, relying only on his own fundamental spiritual power, he glowed with a golden light covering his body, and scattered countless black water that destroyed flesh and blood and fell to the ground.

Mu Yun, who woke up from the dizziness, was still a little mentally weak.When he stood up and didn't see Qi Zhong, he panicked.

At this time, the enraged black fish monster became even more presumptuous, not only setting off black waves that rushed to the sky, but also swung its long catfish whiskers to the shore, immediately smashing the ground with gravel.Seeing this, Mu Yun tied his hair in a hurry, then calmed down and focused on the challenge.

……

"Hey, you should go."

Seeing the saber returning to lead the way, Qi Zhong put away the illusion, thinking that he could save his mind.Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, Ying Luojian just stopped in mid-air, and there was no follow-up action at all.

Qi Zhong was not only impatient to wait, but also felt a little restless in his heart, wanting to return to the camp as soon as possible.

Angry and indisputable, he simply ignored the idea of ​​the sword, and used the illusion again, preparing to find a way back.

At the moment when the illusion was activated again, the spirit sword seemed to be unsealed again, and a brilliant spirit flashed out.

Qi Zhong pondered for a moment, and tentatively asked: "Is it because I don't use illusion, that you won't listen to me?"

It made Qi Zhong a little strange that he couldn't explain the relationship between the Tao and the unknown, but he didn't want to delve into this issue for a while, and was about to put the sword back into the sheath, but the moment he touched the shadow falling sword, the sword light scattered, After that, he dragged him and rode across the forest.

Qi Zhong looked at the tree shadows that kept flashing by his side, and said with a dry smile: "Brother, can you run slower?"

After the words fell, the person had already reached the riverside, and the sword stopped immediately.Qi Zhong braked, stood up straight without any danger, and almost fell into the river.

Seeing that the destination had been reached, Qi Zhong stopped the illusion, and the falling flowers that flew all the way fell on the grass again, quietly turning into dust.

The dawn was beginning to appear in the east, Qi Zhong patted the branches and leaves on his body that had returned all the way, and stretched himself.

"Hey, go back and see how that idiot is doing."

As soon as he got close to the river bank, Qi Zhong felt a strong sword energy coming through the flower forest, and gently knocked off the clothes at his feet.

"This is the power of the sword array. If it weren't for a strong enemy, he wouldn't use such a method of consuming internal energy to fight casually. Hey, something must have happened to the idiot."

Patting his head annoyed, Qi Zhong hurried back to the white stone mark on the river bank.

But he saw that the surrounding woods were all broken, and there were traces of fighting, and the black fish spirit that was constantly churning in the water had already been stabbed with sword intent, and was about to shatter to death.

Until Mu Yun slammed down the sword formula, Wan Dao's sword shadow rushed away, and the black fish spirit suddenly became invisible under the pressure of the sword formation.

Qi Zhong blinked, silently put down the hand that was holding the sword, and was relieved for a moment when he saw Mu Yun gently returning to the ground with no waves on his face.

He stepped forward and asked knowingly, "Are you... all right?"

Mu Yun restrained his remaining energy and shook his head lightly.

Qi Zhong couldn't express his concern for a while, so he turned a corner and tried: "This black fish is as good as it is, why did you use such a big offensive?"

Mu Yun lowered his eyes and hid the explanation in his heart: He just wanted a quick solution, so he hurried to find someone.

"It sneaked up on me. It was horrible."

Hearing such an answer, Qi Zhong was a little surprised, and thought: So he was angry.

"Hey, it's my fault. You are still injured, but I didn't take good care of you..."

Turning around with emotion, Mu Yun comforted, "Brother Qi, don't blame yourself."

"You, don't you ask me where I went?"

When Qi finally saw that his expression was so calm and he didn't show any concern, he couldn't help being slightly disappointed.

Mu Yun bent his fingers at the bottom of his sleeve, but said calmly on his face: "Brother Qi has his own plans, I have no right to ask, I only have the right to respect."

"You!" Qi finally hated his indifference to himself, "Then if I abandon you and leave by myself, will you respect it?"

The impulsive words pierced Mu Yun's heart gently like a thorn, he frowned for a moment, and there was a trace of sourness in his eyes that was regarded as a burden.

Mu Yun nodded silently.

Qi finally laughed angrily: "Is that why you don't want to see me?"

Mu Yun didn't expect him to be so misunderstood, panicked for a moment, and was about to explain: "No."

Qi Zhong gave him a fierce look, and said forcefully, "Stop duplicity."

"From now on, even if you don't want to see each other, you have to see each other. Unless we leave this ghost place together, we will never leave each other. If you are upset, you have to bear it yourself."

Hearing the words of his sudden change of face, Mu Yun was stunned, not knowing how to answer.

Then, Qi Zhong tore off a piece of cloth, tied it on their left hands, and said, "Hey, a grasshopper on a rope, none of us can run away alone."

Mu Yun didn't expect him to be so hard-faced and soft-hearted. He couldn't bear to refute for a while, and nodded slightly in agreement: "Yeah."

"Humph."

Qi Zhong turned around arrogantly and walked side by side with him.

The faint morning light suddenly appeared, and there was a thin mist in the forest. Against the morning glow, the two continued on their way.

In Fufeng Guisi Hall, Mu Yin stared at the mountain of copybooks, but didn't care to check one.

Worried about her younger brother's safety, she is now full of grief, and her heart tightens when she thinks that her sensible younger brother is in danger but helpless.

At this time, the sound of Mu Xi's footsteps returning home hurriedly came from outside the door.

Mu Yin hurried forward and asked: "Cousin, you have gone to Jiugai Mountain, is there any whereabouts of Brother Yun? Immortal Venerable..."

Before the question was finished, Mu Xi's silent shaking of the head had already told everything.

Mu Yin's eyes were empty, and her heart was sore: "How could this be? Why can everyone go out of the mountain well, but brother Yun is in doubt..."

Mu Xi frowned, and said comfortingly, "Ah Yin, don't be discouraged. Changting is also trying to figure out a way. Head Qi is very concerned about the loss of his beloved disciple."

"Think of a way? If it wasn't for that Qi Zhong's good deed to be brave, would brother Yun fall into the abyss for his safety?"

"But if at that time, Jingyao had shied away, who would give the Changting Lin family an explanation?"

"It's not that he is in charge alone, why should he take all the responsibilities?"

Mu Xi was stunned for a moment, but he was also puzzled by Mu Yun's way of making a big deal out of small things.

"In any case, Jingyao will take on the responsibility of supporting the common people in the future. If you watch others fall into the abyss and remain indifferent, then you should be more worried."

Mu Yin's voice trembled slightly, and she was about to burst into tears: "But brother Yun's life and death are unpredictable now, what's the point of saying this? Is a mere immortal position worthy of my brother's pitiful death?"

"..."

Mu Xi bowed her head in silence, unable to answer Mu Yin's question.

But all along, they have regarded this matter as the top priority of the whole family. Compared with human life, it seems really insignificant now.

……

On the mountain peak, there are bamboo forests and pavilions, and the evening breeze is blowing.

Lin Tang carried the lantern and walked all the way outside the pavilion, his eyes signaled the disciples waiting by his side to go back first, then put down his guard, and walked slowly into the pavilion.

Inside the pavilion, Qi Yuxing was still sitting on the stone bench, maintaining the posture of fortune-telling in the morning, pondering a picture of nothingness and nothingness.

"Brother, you have been sitting in this pavilion for several days, go home and have a meal first."

Faced with concern, Qi Yuxing shook his head and just sighed.

"Hey, I'm so clumsy that I don't even know the safety of my apprentice."

Lin Tang knew what he was worried about, and stepped forward to comfort him: "How can you know everything in the world?"

"You have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death. There is no news now, but it is also good news."

The words seemed to make Qi Yuxing feel a little bit relieved, he looked at the broken copper coins on the table again, and put his hand away.
