Bai Qingqing and Zhao Jiuge took advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun to enter the deep mountains. The Xuantian Mountain Range was originally vast and sparsely populated, with more than a thousand peaks connected. After walking far away from the peaks, the surroundings gradually became quiet.
Zhao Jiuge, who was in a depressed mood, took the lead and walked in front without saying a word, just silently remembering the route he had taken, secretly estimating the distance in his mind, thinking that he would have to return the same way on the second day at the latest, even if he didn't find all the medicinal materials, otherwise he would be in trouble. I missed the time. While memorizing the route, my dark eyes wandered around, trying to find the seven medicinal materials in my memory.
Apart from the occasional chirping of birds and insects deep in the mountains, the only sound left was the crisp sound of footprints on the ground and leaves, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.
"Hey, why are you walking so fast? You're like a piece of wood and you don't say a word." Bai Qingqing, who was a few steps away behind her, saw that the farther she walked, the scenery along the way became more and more unfamiliar, and there was no sound at all. He seemed a little uncomfortable, so he puffed out his mouth and complained slightly dissatisfiedly to Zhao Jiuge.
Wood, when he heard this word, the walking Zhao Jiuge stiffened for a moment, then returned to normal, and continued to walk forward. Once upon a time, this word was so familiar, coming from the mouth of a girl who was like a green lotus, it was obvious that Every time the girl disliked her for being stupid, it sounded so warm to her. Now that this word came from another woman's mouth, Zhao Jiuge's thoughts became a little dazed.
To things near and far,
From deep to shallow clear streams,
Highest to the sun and the moon,
Close relatives and close friends.
Whenever Zhao Jiuge dreams late at night, he often imagines that he will stand with a sword in his hand, holding the one he loves freely in the world. However, the graceful figure next to him is always a little blurry, which may just mean that he is not firm enough in his heart. .
Thinking of this, Zhao Jiuge's eyes became a little melancholy when he looked at the mountains and forests in the distance. Everything was caused by his strength. The influence of his childhood environment made Zhao Jiuge full of confidence in his bones, but he was not blind. He was not afraid of distance or anything. I feel like time passes too slowly, and what I lack most is time.
When she reunites with that noble and cold figure who is as proud as a winter plum, will she still remember herself? Will she look at herself with the same eyes as she used to look at an ant? And all of this was unacceptable to him. He secretly squeezed his palms tightly, and his fingers turned white. Zhao Jiuge, who was in a daze, didn't even notice.
Um
After walking for a while, Zhao Jiuge woke up with a start, broke his concentration immersed in thoughts, and realized something was wrong.
The footsteps behind me disappeared!
Zhao Jiuge quickly looked back and saw Bai Qingqing, more than ten meters away, with his hands on his waist, his mouth raised stubbornly, looking at him angrily, standing there motionless, with a pair of beautiful eyes full of dissatisfaction.
Seeing that Bai Qingqing was fine, but that the young lady had lost her temper, Zhao Jiuge secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Just now he had broken out in a cold sweat, for fear of something unexpected happening in this unfamiliar deep mountain.
Zhao Jiuge, who was already in a bad mood and even a little irritable, became even more angry when he saw Bai Qingqing losing his temper. He turned cold and shouted angrily, "Why are you standing there? Leave quickly!"
"If you can, just leave me and continue walking. We are a team now. I asked you for a long time, but you didn't even answer me, and you still thought I was my companion." Bai Qingqing, who had been used to being pampered since childhood, finally saw Zhao Jiuge. He stopped and looked back, still a little happy in his heart. Unexpectedly, Zhao Jiuge's first sentence was to blame, so he couldn't help but chop off his pink legs and roared.
Today's Bai Qingqing is also wearing a blue sword robe, with a ponytail tied behind her back. The tight-fitting clothes outline the curves of her figure. Bai Qingqing, who is sixteen or seventeen years old, has already matured. The bulge on her chest is caused by stomping her feet. They all trembled. Zhao Jiuge was a little surprised by the sexy and voluptuous dress that he was used to seeing today.
But seeing that the other person was a girl after all, Zhao Jiuge didn't want to lose his temper too much. His expression softened a little, and he walked back more than ten meters to Bai Qingqing. He pursed his lips and said helplessly, "Let's go, let's go." We have to hurry up and look for medicinal materials." After saying that, he looked at Bai Qingqing with a slumped face, fearing that this young lady would cause some trouble again and not leave.
Fortunately, I saw Bai Qingqing nodded and finally took steps. Bai Qingqing is not an unreasonable person, she is just trying to show off her temper and is used to people paying attention. Zhao Jiuge gave him a step, and he had to accept it as soon as it was good.
This time, the two of them walked forward side by side. The light air in the deep mountains nourished their hearts, and swaying flowers and plants could be seen everywhere. Zhao Jiuge secretly estimated that because he was still on the edge and did not walk in, there should be no spiritual beasts. And if it was true. Spiritual beasts that are too powerful must have been eliminated by the Xuantian Sword Sect long ago.
"It's just a task. There's no punishment for failure. You just want to find all the medicinal materials. Why don't you think about what to do in the competition with that scarred boy in three days." After the two of them were silent for a long time, Bai Qingqing finally turned his head and glanced. He glanced at Zhao Jiuge and said casually, while secretly watching Zhao Jiuge's reaction from the corner of his eye.
"I want those 100 points of Mengong. With Mengong, I can have my own flying sword. I also had one at the beginning, but it was later destroyed. Without Mengong, I can't exchange items in the sect, so of course I want to find all the medicinal materials. And if I get to the top three, I will have a hundred points of tribute. If I accumulate it bit by bit, I don’t believe that I won’t be able to save the tribute!”
When talking about topics of interest, Zhao Jiuge seemed to have changed, with a different brilliance in his eyes.
Seeing Zhao Jiuge's smiling face like a child at this time, such simple sunshine imprinted on Bai Qingqing's eyes, showing different colors. Bai Qingqing was a little silent after listening, as if he understood something, the superior family background since childhood I don't have to worry about lacking anything. As for the magic weapon, my family gave me a lot of it this time because I was afraid that something might happen to me when I came to Xuantian Sword Sect.
Maybe the environment is different, and everyone has different ideas. After a long silence, Bai Qingqing smiled sweetly, "For the sake of being a team, sister will help you, but what are your plans for the competition in three days."
The slightly wrinkled Qiong nose was indescribably cute and cute. After finishing speaking, Bai Qingqing looked at Zhao Jiuge curiously. Now she was less enchanting and more girlish.
"What plans can I have? I only care about my tribute and cultivation. As for the rest, I don't care about life and death. If you don't accept it, I'll do it! Anyway, I don't want to cause trouble, but I'm not that easy to bully."
Wearing the same blue sword robe, her long flowing black hair was held up by a bunch of cloth, her delicate face looked relaxed, and her tone was domineering and confident, but this confidence was not arrogant. It must be said that after automatically cultivating to the spirit transformation realm , I don’t know whether it is because of his cultivation or the Sanskrit Holy Body, but Zhao Jiuge has undergone earth-shaking changes from the previous time in the mountain village.
His thin body has become stronger now, and as he grows older, he has also grown a lot taller. Especially his temperament looks ethereal and elegant, and his delicate face has a perseverance and a maturity that does not match his age. He is indeed very popular among this group of new disciples. Among the young people, some stand out from the crowd and attract attention.
The smart Bai Qingqing did not dwell too much on this topic. He brushed a few strands of hair in front of his forehead with his right hand. With a smile in his eyes and a charming face, he said, "If you win in three days, I will give you one hundred tributes." Here it is for you." His tone was relaxed and he didn't take the hundred tributes seriously at all.
Zhao Jiuge stared and frowned for a moment, "You don't want it? Besides, how do you know that we have decided to take the hundred tributes."
"I'm still afraid that I won't be able to get this hundred tributes. You are looking down on my sister too much." Bai Qingqing rolled her eyes at first, then covered her mouth with one hand and laughed sweetly, although these medicinal materials are only available in the Xuantian Mountains. Yes, but Bai Qingqing didn't take this task seriously.
"Haha, then I'll wait and see how strong you are." Zhao Jiuge looked at Bai Qingqing in disbelief, but in his heart he believed that this enchanting girl was too mysterious, even the stunningly talented Mu Zijun Baizi Mo Du was suppressed by her, and he estimated in his heart that Bai Qingqing's trump cards had not been exposed yet.
Then Shan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then you don't want the hundred tributes?"
"As long as you can defeat the scar boy, I will give it to you." His expression remained calm and his heart did not beat. He looked calm. Maybe for those young people without family background, this hundred points of door tribute is a lot, but these door tributes can only be exchanged for items and materials at most, and Bai Qingqing obviously does not lack these things, so it is not much use if they ask for it, besides, one hundred points of door tribute , in exchange for those decent things, it’s not even enough.
"Okay, I don't care if you look like this, and I won't be pretentious with you." Zhao Jiuge is not a fool. He urgently needs to improve his strength now, and those external objects are also part of improving his strength. Just keep this favor in mind. From now on Give it back when your strength improves.
Now it was Bai Qingqing's turn to be stunned. Most men are somewhat chauvinistic. What's more, when he was on the coast of the East China Sea, he also did not lack the pursuit of the children of the aristocratic families. It was always others who gave him things to show their courtesy. A man would probably put it off pretentiously, but I didn't expect that Zhao Jiuge was a different kind, a really interesting person.
Seeing Bai Qingqing's dazed expression, Zhao Jiuge seemed to have guessed what she was thinking. At the same time, he rolled his eyes, raised the corner of his mouth and joked, "Why, anyway, this happened because of you. I was shot just lying down. I deserved it for beating him.”
Seeing Zhao Jiuge's joking expression, Miss Bai Qingqing's temper rose again, and she deliberately said with a smile on her face, "Then I'll see how you defeat that scarred boy. Judging from that aura, others are a level better than you." , don’t lose when the time comes and cry for your sister to help you.”
Zhao Jiuge looked at Bai Qingqing with disdain and simply kept silent. Seeing Zhao Jiuge deflated, Bai Qingqing laughed happily like a child.
Night fell completely, shrouding the mountain forest.
The temperature in the deep mountains at night also dropped sharply. As we gradually entered the depths of the mountains, we occasionally heard the roars of spiritual beasts, and the cold smoke around them gradually rose. Although both of them were in the Spirit Transformation Realm, they naturally did not Afraid of this temperature.
But Bai Qingqing still shrank her neck and looked around with fear in her eyes, fearing that something would suddenly jump out in the dark night. She held Zhao Jiuge's arm tightly with her right hand because she was afraid of using too much force. Zhao Jiuge could feel it. A little sore.
I can't help but feel a little funny in my heart. After all, a powerful woman is also a woman, and she also has a timid side in her heart. Although Zhao Jiuge is not very old, he has been accustomed to this kind of environment since he was hunting in the mountains since he was a child. When he killed Wang Dazhuang in anger and fled into the mountains, he was still single. One person has spent all his time, let alone now.
"Why are you laughing?" Although he was scared, Bai Qingqing would not admit it even if he killed him. When he saw that he had grabbed Zhao Jiuge's arm, the smile on Zhao Jiuge's face suddenly made a sound of dissatisfaction.
Hey, who would have thought that Zhao Jiuge's expression suddenly changed and he looked to the right.
This action made Bai Qingqing startled, and she trembled all over. Like an octopus, she suddenly hugged Zhao Jiuge tightly. Her face turned pale and she followed Zhao Jiuge's gaze, thinking that Zhao Jiuge had discovered something. .
Ahem, Zhao Jiuge was hugged tightly by Bai Qingqing, and his neck was so strangled by Bai Qingqing that he couldn't breathe. After struggling for a long time, he said hesitantly, "I think I found a medicinal ingredient."
Hearing this, Bai Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief and was a little scared. After she came to her senses, she slapped Zhao Jiuge, "I don't know that people are scary. They scare people to death. I just scream when it's okay." Thinking about the embarrassing scene just now, her fair and tender face was filled with tears. It turned red, but fortunately it was dark and I couldn't see it.
Zhao Jiuge felt a little aggrieved, thinking that I didn't make a fuss. I just saw the medicinal materials. You surprised me with such a big move and then blamed me in turn. Although he thought so in his heart, Zhao Jiuge didn't dare to say that, for fear of getting beaten and scolded by Bai Qingqing.
The two of them walked towards the location where the aura was emitting not far away. As they got closer, Zhao Jiuge's eyes lit up and his face was filled with joy. "It's like white dew turning into frost."
