Inner Demons

Chapter 16: fate

Views:

The nights are long and the days are short on Mount Yiyi, and the sun is completely covered by dark clouds within an hour of its appearance.

One moment Mu Changting was basking comfortably in the sun, but the next moment his whole body was shrouded in darkness. He stood up regretfully and turned his head to greet Xing Yusheng to go on the road.

The two rested in the cave for a night, and they were full of energy at the moment.

The branches and leaves of the silver-wrapped tree are luxuriant, and the white spirit flowers are blooming all over the branches, which are a bit taller than the others. The two of them had killed quite a few little monsters before, and together with the high-level monsters killed last night, they were already far ahead without knowing it.

Mu Changting looked at the situation of the others. Except for his and Xing Yusheng's silver-wrapped trees growing well, Fu Xifeng's was not bad either, ranking closely behind them.

Looking back, it is the silver-wrapped tree of that cute and innocent little disciple Zhou Zhi who is blooming well.

The idea of beheading high-level monsters was indeed right, and the two followed suit afterwards, using the ice mirror to find some slightly more powerful monsters, and after they were dealt with, the spirit flowers kept blooming.

At this moment, Qingxin faction.

The head of the sect, Xianzun Xie Yingjun, stood with his hands behind his back, nodded in satisfaction and said, "Most of the aptitudes of the disciples this year are good, especially the few plants that bloomed very prosperously, and what's more rare is that the petals of the spirit flowers are as white as snow, which shows that their spiritual power is pure and pure." .”

The elder holding the precept stroked his long beard and agreed: "Yes, these people are indeed rare."

Xie Yingjun smiled, and before he could speak, a voice full of laughter came from behind him: "Then why don't I first congratulate the senior brother who has received so many good disciples in one go?"

Xie Yingjun looked back at him, and said worriedly: "It's windy outside, if you are weak, don't stay with us."

The man's peach blossom eyes were shining brightly, his handsome appearance and slightly upturned lips should have looked very suave, but unfortunately he was sitting in a wheelchair, his legs could not move, and his face was sickly pale .

Qin Shuzhong smiled: "It's okay, it's too boring to refine medicine all day long, it's time to come out and get some fresh air."

The precept elder smiled at him and said, "Could it be that the elder physician is also greedy and wants to take in one or two apprentices?"

Qin Shuzhong's age is about the same as the head of the sect, Xianzun, but he took the position of "elder" at a young age. There is no other reason. In the way of alchemy, he dares to be the second in the world, and no one dares to be the first. .

Qin Shuzhong listened to the elder Zhijie's jokes, but nodded quite seriously: "Well, it's not bad." After a pause, he dragged his voice, "I just don't know if the senior brother in charge is willing to give up love?" ?”

The elder holding the precept clapped his hands and applauded: "If you are willing to accept, and your senior brother refuses to let go, I have to let him let go too! If the two of you accept your apprentice early, wouldn't it be a great thing for the Pure Heart Sect to have successors?"

Xie Yingjun smiled helplessly: "Don't listen to his nonsense, Shuzhong is most annoyed by people coming and going in Meijian Palace, disturbing his cultivation, why would he want to accept apprentices?"

Qin Shuzhong was sitting in a wheelchair, with a faint smile in his eyes, he propped his head up and smiled: "The person who understands me best in this world, it seems, is none other than Senior Sect Leader."

It was obviously the most normal words, but Xie Yingjun was slightly dazed when he heard it.

On the other side, Mu Changting was a little puzzled.

He had stayed in Yiyi Mountain for a day and a night, and met countless fellow disciples, but he didn't see Fu Xifeng.

Ji Yishan said that he was not too small, and he said he was not too big, so the two of them had to be undestined to meet each other...

Xing Yusheng led the way with an ice mirror, and Mu Changting looked around behind him, muttering: "You can also help me to see, if you see Fu Xifeng scream. Tsk, where did this kid go?"

With a touch of his fingertips, he erased the "topic character" that appeared on the ice mirror, Xing Yusheng's eyes moved slightly, his footsteps turned, and he walked straight to the east: "Well, let's take a look this way."

Mu Changting was stunned for a moment: "But why did I hear the sound of fighting in the west, why don't you go and have a look?"

Xing Yusheng turned to look at him, and said lightly: "The sound of fighting proves that someone is killing monsters. Let's join in the fun. What if someone mistakenly thinks they want a share of the pie?"

Mu Changting smiled and said, "Since when did you think so carefully? Okay, let's go."

Originally, he wanted to go over there to see if he could meet Fu Xifeng, but after thinking about it, since he and Xing Yusheng are now killing monsters together, Xing Yusheng listened to his persuasion, so he behaved well all the way in order to worship him good master.

How could Mu Changting waste his time now, deliberately dragging him to find Fu Xifeng

Two days and one night passed quickly, and when the vision of seven stars appearing in the night sky, everyone stopped what they were doing and seized the time to search for the teleportation array. The opening time of each magic circle is limited. After a long life-and-death struggle, no one wants to stay in this bloody and eerie place any longer.

The magic circle will bring out a strong wind point, and the surge of spiritual power will be particularly obvious. The disciples set off all the way to the source of the surging spiritual power, and in the end, almost all of them were led to a lake in the mountain.

The sky was dark, and the stars were shining brightly overhead.

But the surface of the lake was calm, and the expected Fagust Wind Cave did not appear. Mu Changting knelt down and scooped up a handful of water. The water was clear and slightly cool to the touch. It was just ordinary water.

Mu Changting looked at the water surface and murmured, "Could the teleportation array... be underwater?"

Before Xing Yusheng could answer, a familiar voice came into his ears: "I'll kick you down and try, and you'll know."

Mu Changting's eyes lit up, and he jumped up with joy: "Ah Feng! Where did you go? I've been looking for you for a long time!"

Fu Xifeng had a bad face all the time, but when he heard this, his expression softened a little, and he said with a straight face: "You still know how to find me, I thought you had someone as a companion, and you forgot about me a long time ago."

Xing Yusheng stood facing the lake, lowered his eyes, and didn't even look at them.

Mu Changting glanced at him, took two steps closer to Fu Xifeng, and said in a low voice, "We also ran into each other by chance, and I think you've got a good harvest. The top three are just the three of us now."

Fu Xifeng's thoughts turned quickly, and he instantly understood how Mu Changting knew about the situation of Baoyinshu.

He glanced at Xing Yusheng who was standing quietly by the lake, and couldn't help wondering whether Xing Yusheng's choice of Bingling mirror was a random choice or intentional.

Mu Changting was so engrossed in the teleportation circle that he didn't even notice the strange silence between the two.

He pointed to the surface of the lake and said to the two of them: "The starlight is pointing here. I'll go down and have a look. Anyway, there is no other way to go." After finishing speaking, he jumped into the water.

Xing Yusheng followed subconsciously for two steps, and suddenly an arm stretched out in front of his eyes. Fu Xifeng smiled faintly: "Speaking of which, Chang Ting is careful and kind, and takes care of everyone warmly, especially for poor cats and dogs. But if they miss kindness, It is wishful thinking to want to go home with him and rely on him for the rest of his life."

After Fu Xifeng said such words without thinking, Xing Yusheng's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he kept looking at the lake expressionlessly.

Fu Xifeng didn't care whether he responded to him or not, and stood a little further away after speaking, waiting for Mu Changting to come ashore.

Everyone gathered in a circle, all looking forward to it.

After a while, Mu Changting emerged from the water and waved to everyone happily: "Hey! The teleportation array is at the bottom of the water, there is no danger, everyone come down!"

His brows and eyes were crooked with a smile, and his long hair, which was tied up slightly loose, was sticking wetly to his body.

Xing Yusheng's eyes fell on him immediately, and he jumped off without the slightest hesitation.

Fu Xifeng followed closely, and when everyone saw them move, they jumped into the water one after another.

This lake is quite deep, and the further downstream, the more difficult it is.

Where the aquatic plants swayed, the teleportation array radiated dazzling light. Everyone was overjoyed, and speeded up, swimming happily towards the teleportation array like a fish.

At this moment, a huge vortex suddenly rolled up not far away! The disciples were in a panic, some struggled to swim towards the formation, and some even kicked towards the lake! The next moment, the waist loosened, and the swords on everyone's bodies were sucked by the vortex at the same time!

They are all fine, only their sabers are missing, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

Although the sabers that the Qingxin sent out to each disciple were not bad, they were not rare items either. After some disciples stood still for a while, they swam towards the teleportation circle.

There was only one figure, desperately swimming towards the place where the vortex was churning!

The moment Mu Changting turned his head, he saw this scene, and his eyes widened in shock. Worse, Xing Yusheng's saber was left by his parents, and it is very precious to him...

He wanted to catch up without much hesitation, but Fu Xifeng grabbed his wrist at this moment and forcefully dragged him to the teleportation formation.

Mu Changting frowned and gestured at him, but Fu Xifeng didn't even look at him.

Seeing that he was about to get close to the teleportation array, Mu Changting was so anxious that he used all his strength to break Fu Xifeng's hands away, kicked his feet, and jumped out all the way. Fu Xifeng was so angry that his seven orifices were smoking, and he wanted to catch him, but after a few steps after him, he saw the figures of the two of them submerged in the vortex in an instant, and quickly disappeared.

The bottom of the lake gradually calmed down, as if everything just now was an illusion.

Mu Changting's consciousness gradually dissipated as his body heaved and fell in the rapidly rotating vortex. When he was in a daze, it seemed that someone grabbed him.

There was the sound of dripping water in his ears, and when Mu Changting woke up again, he found himself lying on top of Xing Yusheng.

Mu Changting sat up on the ground, his whole body seemed to be falling apart, and he was very sore.

The place he was in should be a water cave at the bottom of the lake. There was a spell at the entrance of the cave, and the lake water could not be poured in.

Mu Changting patted Xing Yusheng's face and called his name in a low voice. Xing Yusheng frowned and slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were a little slack, and it took a long while before he focused on Mu Changting's face, and he asked in confusion, "Where is this?"

Mu Changting helped him sit up, and smiled helplessly: "Where else could it be? The place that sucked your sword over."

Xing Yusheng was taken aback for a moment, and then nervously looked for the sword everywhere, but the ground was clean, and there was no shadow of a sword. Xing Yusheng frowned and looked towards the deep water tunnel. Now both of them have no weapons, and if they encounter monsters, they will suffer a lot.

Xing Yusheng himself is not afraid of danger, but he has to worry about Mu Changting's safety.

He was still thinking about the best solution, but Mu Changting had already stood down, and while wringing out his clothes and adding water, he said to him, "Have you had enough rest? Let's go in and have a look, your sword should be inside." His tone was normal, as if He didn't care at all whether there were many dangers ahead, and whether it would hinder him from becoming a teacher because of this matter.

Xing Yusheng's thin lips were pursed tightly, and he stared at his face for a moment.
