The disciple of the Xuyang Sect, who was frightened by the fog of the fake "Qin Shanshan" and lost three of his souls, couldn't help but think "My life is at stake" in his mind. The scene in front of him suddenly changed, and the fog in his vision suddenly changed. Everything disappeared, and what came into view was a stretch of green mountains, green waters, bushes, and trails, showing the tranquil appearance of time.
The disciples of Xuyang Sect, who were so frightened that they peed their pants, stopped in their tracks, widened their eyes in confusion, and looked around blankly, as if they couldn't believe what they were seeing.
Their scattered vision gradually condensed, and they realized that their group of people stayed by each other's side and did not get lost at all.
Ye Xiuwen and "Qin Shanshan", who were walking at the end, followed up quickly. Compared with those people whose faces were covered with tears and runny noses, whose hair was messy and whose clothes were disheveled, they looked very calm and relaxed. Eye-catching.
However, now those Xuyang Sect disciples had no time to think about why these two people were so different. The joy of surviving the disaster filled their heads so much that they couldn't think of anything else for a moment.
"Look! There seems to be a smoke ahead!" The Xuyang Sect disciple at the head panted for a long time, looked up, and suddenly pointed at a place not far away and shouted.
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed - Oh, isn't it? Where the smoke is rising, someone must be cooking, right? !
Although their legs were so sore that they were like two noodles, the words "there are people" still gave them endless motivation. They propped up their bodies one after another and continued to stumble forward.
After not running for long, they could see a row of rooftops in the small village.
In other words, they finally came out of the damned place that had trapped them for half a month, although the way they came out was completely confusing to them.
"Pfft..." The Xuyang Sect disciple who was in front of him felt his feet weak and fell down - the removal of danger and temporary safety completely broke the tight string in his heart, and made him feel nothing again. The strength to run forward.
As if it was some kind of signal, the other people following behind also softened their legs and knelt straight down.
For a moment, everyone was only focused on feeling the pleasure of surviving the disaster, and no one spoke.
"I...we finally...came out...out?" After a long time, one of the Xuyang Sect disciples broke the silence among everyone.
He was still out of breath, so his words were choppy.
"It's out..." Another Xuyang Sect disciple said with half emotion and half shock, his heartbeat still could not calm down.
They looked behind them and found that behind them there were green mountains and green waters, and the time was quiet. How could there be any fog or beast chasing them
This... what on earth is going on? Their limited experience really couldn't explain everything they encountered.
"Qin Shanshan" raised the corners of her lips almost imperceptibly, and a flash of pride flashed in her eyes.
She set up a huge formation in this area. The disciples of the Xuyang Sect, who had never understood the knowledge of formations, naturally did not know that they had fallen into a trap, and they also thought that there were some "ghosts" at work.
Ye Xiuwen guessed a little bit, but he didn't know much about formations. He had no way to solve such a huge and complex formation. He could only wait for the formation master to show up and take a look at the opponent. What exactly do you want to do.
Ye Xiuwen glanced at "Qin Shanshan" thoughtfully, with a flash of contemplation in his eyes.
He only hoped that this woman of unknown origin would not be hostile to Lintian Peak, otherwise, her ability to form formations and draw talismans would cause considerable trouble to this rescue operation.
Sensing Ye Xiuwen's gaze, "Qin Shanshan" looked back and raised her eyebrows at him, her eyes seeming to ask: What
Ye Xiuwen looked away silently. Facing this woman who looked very much like his junior sister, he would sometimes have some unrealistic hopes, hoping that the other person was Jun Xiaomo.
Unfortunately, reason told him that this was simply impossible. No matter how talented the young junior sister was, just twelve years would not be enough for the young junior sister to have such a strong fighting power.
Therefore, he could only suppress the feeling of sadness and depression in his heart and choose not to listen, not to see, and not to think about it, so that he would not fall into the state of worrying about gains and losses.
"Qin Shanshan" made a disdainful sound in her mouth, and secretly rolled her eyes at Ye Xiuwen from behind - she originally thought he had a good temperament, but she didn't expect him to be a boring gourd with too many ideas.
She finds it most tiring to get along with this kind of person, because she never knows what the other person is thinking. Even if the other person may be harmless, there will be many misunderstandings because of this boring temperament.
"Qin Shanshan" obviously doesn't know that in the eyes of others, she is also very cold and arrogant and difficult to approach. It is only in front of people she knows well that she will show a little bit of her casual temper.
After this strange incident, the group of disciples of Xuyang Sect seemed to have the idea of returning to the sect as soon as possible.
Although the anxiety and uneasiness they had felt for a period of time made them want to completely relax and take a rest in a populated place, however, the memory of being chased by unknown beasts and ghosts in the fog seemed to be engraved in their minds. In their bones, every time they dreamed back at midnight, they would dream that they were being chased by a monster whose face they couldn't see clearly, and finally woke up sweating profusely.
Therefore, now they no longer think about traveling around the mountains and enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way. They just want to return to the sect as soon as possible to completely calm down the tortured nerves in their hearts.
"Qin Shanshan" has been secretly admiring their haggard expressions day by day, and she almost bought a handful of melon seeds to crack them while watching the show.
Ye Xiuwen couldn't understand the prank-like mentality of a child like "Qin Shanshan" and completely ignored it.
Hurrying slowly, they finally returned to a small town not far from the foot of Xuyang Sect Mountain one and a half months later without any danger. They would be able to return to the sect in about two or three days.
The fact that they were about to return to the sect made the dozen or so disciples of the Xuyang Sect completely relieved. This small town was full of mortals, and occasionally some people from the cultivation world just passed by in a hurry, and they didn't care about them. What harm will be done.
After feeling relaxed, these Xuyang Sect disciples finally had the idea of having fun - it was impossible to visit the mountains and rivers. This place is not far from the Xuyang Sect, and they have been here many times. No matter how good the scenery is, They are all tired of seeing it, so the only place they can relax their body and mind is the smoke and willow land in the mortal world.
Even though these people are disciples of some big sects who think highly of themselves, after all, when they are young and vigorous, they will also have the desires that men have, and usually the female disciples in the sect are some lovely ones. The flowers of the high mountain, which cannot be played with from a distance, are very proud. Male disciples who are not powerful and talented cannot win the hearts of beautiful women. Therefore, those with average strength and low talent The disciples can only find other ways to solve their "little problems".
Just like this group of Xuyang Sect disciples, except for Ye Xiuwen, every one of them has eaten meat and tried other flavors. When they go to these places that can evoke their special memories, they naturally start to stir in their hearts. stand up.
The elders and peak masters also knew about these things about the disciples of the Xuyang Sect, but they always turned a blind eye.
So, on the first night they arrived in this small town, these Xuyang Sect disciples ran away in groups to the place of ecstasy in their minds. In the inn where they stayed, there was only one "No" left. There is Ye Xiuwen, who is a woman, and "Qin Shanshan" who is completely uninterested.
Logically speaking, now that the guys from the Xuyang Sect have left, Ye Xiuwen and "Qin Shanshan" can sit down and talk about matters after entering the Xuyang Sect. However, the fact is that Ye Xiuwen and "Qin Shanshan" each occupied a table in the inn. These two tables are still thousands of miles apart, in two corners of the south and the north. If outsiders When you walk in, you wouldn't have thought that these two people knew each other.
In fact, it's no wonder that Ye Xiuwen and "Qin Shanshan" were acquainted with each other, but they couldn't really be said to be "familiar". Along the way, "Qin Shanshan" just watched the show, but Ye Xiuwen was completely uninterested in all this. There was usually nothing to communicate between the two, so that even now, their relationship is no better than that of two completely different people. How much better it is to meet a stranger.
The most important point is that "Qin Shanshan" can't stand Ye Xiuwen's coldness and facial paralysis, and his boring personality that can't type a sentence for a long time. Ye Xiuwen can't understand that "Qin Shanshan" is in a hurry but still has to deal with those of Xuyang Sect at every turn. The disciples acted as a prank, so...
The two of them are not that far away from being tired of each other. They both hold the idea of "never seeing each other again after solving the matter." Naturally, they do not feel the need to communicate in depth. Eating across the table can avoid big eyes. The embarrassment of staring small eyes.
Perhaps because it was the off-season, there were not many people in this inn. Many people ate their meal in a hurry and left. In the end, only two tables, Ye Xiuwen and "Qin Shanshan", were left in the inn.
While counting the money, the innkeeper secretly glanced at Ye Xiuwen and "Qin Shanshan" and thought to himself: These two people are really strange. I saw them coming with the same group of people before, but now they want to Sitting separately, could it be that the young couple were having trouble
There were not many rich dishes in front of Ye Xiuwen, only a few small dishes to go with the wine, and there were several empty jade bottles on his hand. There was still unfinished wine in the cup. His eyes were always light. He stared at the night outside the inn window, not knowing what he was thinking.
These drinks were not from the inn, but from Ye Xiuwen's own storage ring. The old man in the abyss of death was also a good drinker, so he kept a lot of home-brewed wine all the year round. Ye Xiuwen actually developed the habit of drinking in these years because he was tortured by longing for him. Of course, he still loves tea more than wine, and only occasionally does he think of drinking.
"Qin Shanshan" originally wanted to ignore Ye Xiuwen and go back to her room after eating. However, for some reason, looking at Ye Xiuwen drinking alone, she somehow managed to stay.
Especially when everyone in the inn was leaving one after another, the cold moonlight hung high in the sky, and the aroma of wine in front of Ye Xiuwen slowly wafted over...
She finally couldn't help but walked towards Ye Xiuwen's table -
She was eyeing the drink in front of Ye Xiuwen!
