As he walked higher and higher, the cloud platform made of white jade became clearer and clearer.
Xie Buchen casually took out a pill from his sleeve, put it in his mouth, and felt the medicinal power gradually dissolving in his mouth, entering into the meridians throughout his body, and slowly repairing the injuries in his body.
Although his sword did not fall on Jianchou in the end, and Jianchou's axe did not fall on him, thus avoiding a situation where both sides suffered losses, his original injuries were not completely healed.
The battle with Jianchou just now almost exhausted all his strength, and even raising his hand found it difficult.
Not to mention the hidden pain inside.
With a slight frown, Xie Buchen had already reached the edge of the White Jade Cloud Platform.
This is a wide circular platform built on the high ground near the shore. It is somewhat similar to the Kunwu Yunhai Square, but the shape is different, and the totems on the ground are also different. It looks lifeless and more ancient.
Before Xie Buchen had the chance to take in the situation on the platform completely, he suddenly heard a voice.
More than one person.
At the edge of the platform diagonally opposite, there were five monks in dark robes. Judging from their attire, they were not disciples of any sect in the Central Region. The collars and cuffs of their clothes were decorated with bright and beautiful patterns.
Among the five people, three were sitting cross-legged on the ground, and two were busy working with the formation plates beside them.
One person muttered, "Why did the Young Master ask us to enter the hidden world first? Our cultivation is not good enough, what if we die in there?"
The other person immediately started to curse: "What are you worried about? The Young Master told you to die, and you dare not live? It is our honor to explore the way for the Young Master!"
"Okay, there's nothing to argue about." The man sitting there seemed to be the boss here. He was a little impatient and said, "The young master is fighting fiercely with Yong Zhou right now. The situation in the wilderness is ever-changing. But if we can severely injure the cultivators in the Central Region during our trip to the Hidden Realm, or get any information related to the Nine-Curved River Map, it will definitely be of great help to the young master."
The other two people immediately stopped talking.
The two people who were busy holding the formation plates on the other side also came back. One of them said, "Protector Yang, we have already arranged the secret formation. When the young master passes by here, he will definitely be able to detect the information we left behind."
"good."
The man called "Protector Yang" nodded, stood up with a serious expression, and was about to ask everyone to leave.
But what they didn't expect was that just after they stood up, an unusual red light appeared on the formation plate that one of them was about to take back!
At that moment, Yang Hufa's expression changed, and he actually drew out the long sword from his waist, and shouted angrily towards the corner where Xie Buchen was hiding: "Who is it!"
"boom!"
The blazing sword energy crossed over most of the cloud platform almost instantly and came in front of Xie Buchen!
***
On the single-plank bridge.
Jianchou walked steadily on the narrow bridge, step by step. When she had walked most of the way and could see a high platform on the other side, she tilted her head and looked at the other empty wooden bridge next to her. Then she stopped and looked back with a smile: "Brother Xiahou, these wooden bridges are exactly the same, except that there are two differences in their names: 'emotional' and 'unfeeling'. Do you have to act like you are going to be executed?"
At least, she didn't feel that this "Bridge of Love" posed any obstacle to her.
In fact, Jianchou could easily notice that Xiahou She was walking on the ground as if it were flat ground, and it should not be the same as before.
Why does Xiahou She have such a sad expression on his face
He was just a few steps behind Jianchou.
When Jianchou stopped, he also stopped and kept a fixed distance from Jianchou, as if he didn't want to get close at all.
There was no expression on the pale face, only a cold and deep gaze.
Jianchou looked at him, and he also looked at Jianchou without saying anything.
"… "
At this moment, Jianchou felt really helpless.
Look at the way the boy looked at her, it was as if she had some disgusting disease and she had to keep this distance to be safe.
Didn't she just drag him to the Bridge of Love with her before
There was still a long way to go. After thinking for a while, Jianchou finally did not stay on the bridge for long. He just moved forward and looked at Xiahou She who was looking unhappy behind him with the back of his head: "It's just a bridge. Our purpose is to use the bridge to cross the river. Whether it is a bridge of love or a bridge of ruthlessness, as long as it can cross the river, isn't it the right bridge? I thought Junior Brother Xiahou could think it through, but I didn't expect that he was also obsessed with the confusion of the two words "love" and "ruthlessness."
Xiahou She still didn't speak.
If he had not been unable to get onto the Wuqing Bridge, he thought he would definitely keep his distance from Jianchou, and would not have walked so steadily and yet tremblingly behind her. He had no idea what was going on in his mind.
The feeling of absurdity has not yet left Xiahou She's mind.
He has enemies all over the world and he doesn't need friends.
even…
There is no need to worry about a fellow traveler like Jianchou.
Unconsciously, his eyes fell on Jianchou again.
Xiahou She recalled the earth-shattering battle that had caused everyone to disperse, and her eyes immediately fell on Jianchou's injured shoulder: he was seriously injured, and his cultivation had not recovered at all, and he was even facing her with his back...
Back.
A position suitable for a sneak attack.
His mind suddenly moved, and Xiahou She's footsteps paused for a moment.
But at this moment of stagnation, Jianchou's relaxed and calm voice was blown to his ears by the wind.
"Junior Brother Xiahou, I am a few years older than you, so I have a few words to say based on my experience: If someone dares to stand with his back to you, then you must never have any thoughts of attacking him. Because, either this person trusts you as a confidant, or this person is completely fearless of your attack."
"… "
Xiahou She raised his eyes suddenly.
Jianchou's footsteps did not pause at all, and it was even as if she had not said those words just now. She just turned her wrist slightly, and the ferocious ghost axe in her hand flashed with a stream of light.
Either you trust him as a confidant, or he has the ability to be completely fearless of your sneak attack.
The deep, long line between Xiahou She's eyebrows was so red that it looked like it was about to bleed.
So, is she confident in her own abilities
There was a hint of anger in his tightly pursed thin lips. He seemed to be about to say something, but in the blink of an eye, he immediately closed his lips and continued to follow Jianchou without saying a word.
Jianchou walked slowly and steadily, looking at the cloud platform that was already very close in front of him. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly and smiled with the corners of his lips curled.
"arrive."
The single-plank bridge was very long. It actually crossed the dark river and extended towards the high cloud platform.
Jianchou took a step down from the single-plank bridge and landed on the white jade platform.
The wide platform is high up, but it is surrounded by fog.
Just in front of where Jianchou landed, there was actually a wide white jade path, but the end was hidden in the clouds and mist and could not be seen clearly.
She took two steps on the platform, and only then did Xiahou She come down from the single-plank bridge and look around.
"Um?"
A doubtful voice suddenly came from Jianchou.
Before Xiahou She had the time to take in the entire picture of the Yuntai, he heard the voice and immediately looked towards Jianchou.
Jianchou, who was holding the magic axe, frowned tightly at this moment. He lowered his eyes and looked at the ground not far in front of him.
Although the white jade cloud platform has a somewhat old feel, one can still glimpse its former grandeur and magnificence.
However, at this moment, blood was splattered on the platform.
He squatted down and saw that Jianchou was holding the ghost axe in his right hand, with his left hand hanging down, only his fingers were stained with blood.
A sticky piece with residual warmth.
There were traces of fighting on the ground around. Jianchou frowned, stood up and took two steps. After a careful look, his eyes were full of sharpness.
While she was checking the situation, Xiahou She had also walked up and looked in the direction that Jianchou was looking.
To the right of the center of the platform, I saw a large area of horrific knife and sword marks.
"Someone actually fought here before us and got injured?"
"They should have left not long ago."
Jianchou walked along the trail of blood, stood in the middle and looked towards where the blood came from, only to find a bloodstain, somewhat scattered, leading straight to the edge of the platform.
seem…
There was someone coming over there with injuries.
When there is war, there is hatred.
So, who are the two parties
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and when he saw Chou's feet move, he walked towards that end to see if there could be any clues.
