Nan Zhi stayed in her hair, and was always so silent. When the old monster attacked her, Lingxi realized that his aura was fluttering. If Qing Kui hadn't appeared in time, Nan Zhi might have shown up.

After the old demon left, Lingxi comforted Qiangwei, making sure that he was there at that time...

"Nanzhi..." Lingxi called him in a low voice, since he was either taken away by the old demon or left on his own, he shouldn't go too far...

Lingxi was worried that her movement would disturb other people, so she didn't go directly back to the open space where she was resting, but called all the way along the lakeshore, but there was no response after calling for a long time, and she couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

She wasn't worried that Nan Zhi would have any accidents, but... worried that Nan Zhi's current situation would be discovered for no reason. When she was at Void Cliff, she witnessed Nan Zhi's growth with her own eyes, and she was pleasantly surprised by his extraordinary talent, and attributed everything to him as a result of the aura of heaven and earth, but after hearing Qing Kui's words today, she was actually a little uneasy.

She clearly knew that Nan Zhi's background was upright, but she was still uneasy and didn't dare to expose him to everyone, just like... She also knew that her background was upright, but others said she was not allowed in the Six Realms.

"Nanzhi!" Lingxi called again impatiently, just in time to smell a familiar breath.

Perhaps it was related to the rose flower itself, Nan Zhi always carried a faint rose fragrance on his body, and as time passed, Lingxi could smell his presence from afar without seeing him in person.

"Where did you go? We agreed that you should not leave my side casually, let alone show your body easily!"

Nan Zhi was standing in front of her, when Lingxi saw him for the first time, the uneasiness before turned into tiny anger and spewed out. When Nan Zhi first saw Lingxi, there was still a faint light of joy in his eyes, but he was so angry that he lowered his eyes and frowned.

"Where did you go?" Seeing that he didn't answer, Lingxi became even more irritable.

Nan Zhi frowned even tighter, but he still answered, with two short words, "Slay the demon."

"Slay what monster?"

"Bonethirsty demon."

In the past, Lingxi would have expressed envy and hatred towards Nanzhi's cultivation, but now, she no longer has that mood. You must know that even Senior Brother Qingnian couldn't easily catch the Bonethy Demon...

"You killed her?"

"certainly."

"A real Bonethirsty Demon?"

"There are fake ones?"

Lingxi sorted out her thoughts, what Nanzhi was talking about should be the old monster who just attacked them, right? She only knew that it was not a real Bonethirsty Demon after listening to Senior Sister Qinglian's analysis.

"The one that bullied you." Seeing that she didn't answer, Nanzhi said by himself.

Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief, if he killed the bone-thirsty demon who is now famous in both worlds of demons and immortals in one fell swoop, it would be impossible to hide his existence...

"Eat." Nanzhi said suddenly.

When Lingxi raised her head, she saw a shining green essence floating in his palm, she was so shocked that she even forgot Nanzhi's body, and tried to slap his arm away, but it was in vain.

"This is the true essence of that old demon, with six hundred years of cultivation." Nan Zhi lifted the true essence closer.

Of course Lingxi knew that the cultivation level of this true essence was not shallow, but only monsters would devour each other and plunder the cultivation level. How could a respectable and decent disciple of cultivating immortals covet the cultivation level of monsters

"Nanzhi, have you swallowed the real essence of other monsters?" Lingxi asked cautiously, if he went to kill the old monster, maybe he would meet a few little monsters...

"No."

Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down on the floor against the big tree by the lake, "Nan Zhi, sit down."

Nanzhi sat down.

"Nanzhi, only monsters will use these methods of harming others to gain their cultivation." Lingxi said seriously.

Although Nan Zhi has amazing comprehension skills and can understand a little bit when practicing spells, she is a fairy who has never experienced the world. Before they left Xuxuya, the only people who had the most contact with her and Xuxuya's books were many things. Lingxi also needs to teach her a little bit.

For example, at first Nanzhi couldn't even tell the left from the right, because the book would not tell him which side is left and which side is right...

"I know." Nan Zhi said, "But you will be fine if you eat it."

Nan Zhi persisted in holding the true essence in front of Lingxi, and Lingxi said displeasedly: "I will become a demon after eating it, and I will never turn over again!"

"What's wrong with a demon?"

"One good and one evil, of course it's not good!"

"What is good and what is evil?"

Lingxi was at a loss for words for a while, she could not explain such a profound question to Nan Zhi in a few words, but she could only say in a huff, "Anyway, I don't like it!"

Nanzhi seemed to understand a little bit, and simply withdrew his hand and said, "Then don't."

As he spoke, his five fingers moved slightly, and the green primordial essence instantly cracked and shattered piece by piece.

"You can't have such thoughts in the future, Nan Zhi, you are a fairy, not a demon, you can't do anything that a demon can do, understand?" Lingxi said word by word.

"You don't like demons?"

"dislike."

"Um."

Lingxi finally showed a smile. Her previous worries may be superfluous. Nan Zhi's cleanliness is, in some respects, a complete blank sheet of paper that can only be drawn and outlined by her. Ordinary fairy spirits need thousands of years to cultivate their bodies, and spirits from the demon world need hundreds of years to gain physical bodies. He is a spirit formed by collecting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on the top of Cangjia Mountain. How can he compare with those ordinary spirits

"Nanzhi, will you always be like this in the future, and you won't do things I don't like?" Lingxi hugged her legs, put her head on her knees, looked sideways at Nanzhi, with a bright smile.

Nanzhi's black hair spread along the black clothes, as if wanting to blend into the night, only his eyes shone brightly, reflecting the lake and mountains under the moonlight, as clear as glass. As the breeze blew by, the fragrance of roses on his body and the fragrance of lotus blowing from the lake were refreshing and pleasant.

He stared at Lingxi, rolled his eyes several times, and finally said in a deep voice with no expression on his face: "I don't want to be turned into a little turtle by you."

Lingxi was startled, and then with a "puchi", she covered her mouth and laughed, and fell down on the grass, scattering dew all over the ground.

***

On the second day, the five of them set off again.

Lingxi no longer bothered to think about Nanzhi's unusual places, anyway, she saw with her own eyes how he became what he is now step by step, he is by her side day and night, his mind is so simple that maybe he doesn't even know what a monster is, Whether she believed in him or herself, she should get rid of those inexplicable anxieties.

Qing Kui rested for the night, and his energy was much better than last night, and he started chasing after Lingxi with a playful smile to beg for his Xiang Yinjian. Qinglian followed behind Qing Kui at a leisurely pace, while Xue Ran and Qing Nian walked at the end.

The mountains and forests are green, the sky is blue and the clouds are white. Although the scenery of the human world is not as ethereal and majestic as that of the fairy world, it is more exquisite and full of vitality. The sun has not yet risen, and the sounds of birds full of vitality can already be heard in the forest.

Usually, the five of them each wielded their swords. When they left the forest today, one of the five suddenly had one more person.

Lingxi turned her head and looked at the other two herself respectively, unable to describe her weird feeling for a while.

Early this morning, they gathered again to discuss. It is not far from Donghua Mountain, if the Bone Eater really planned it for a long time, the next journey may be full of dangers. The meeting of the Four Immortals is imminent, they set off late, if there is any accident in the middle, they will definitely miss the time.

From the actions of that old demon yesterday, it is impossible to know the exact purpose of the Bone Eater, but it is certain that the person they are targeting is Lingxi.

Demons can use human faces to hide themselves, and they can also use fairy arts to blind their eyes. If the three of Qingkui, Qinglian and Qingnian each took a Lingxi and headed in different directions, even if the Bone Eater had made arrangements in advance, the plan would be disrupted to a greater or lesser extent. The peers in the group will not affect their speed to Donghua Mountain.

Therefore, the real Lingxi follows Qingkui, the Lingxi transformed by Qinglian's hairpin follows Qinglian, and the Xueran who turns into Lingxi follows Qingnian by blindfolding. direction, confusing the sight of outsiders.

"Brother Qing Kui, will they be fooled?" Ling Xi asked softly, holding Qing Kui's arm tightly.

"Who knows..." Qing Kui said disdainfully, "Our blindfold really confuses those monsters, and it won't take too long, but if it's just the two of us, I can guarantee that you will be unscathed! And with my speed, today will be yours. Now that we can reach Donghua Mountain, what are we afraid of them doing?"

"Tch, actually, I want to be alone with Xiao Lingxi..."

Snapped!

Before Jiu Sheng could finish his sentence, Qing Kui slapped him across the face.

"Shut up!" Qing Kui stuffed the mouth of the wine gourd stuffed around his waist, and the wine sage's two words of "Aiya" fell silent.

Lingxi looked at Jiu Sheng sympathetically, Qing Kui coughed twice, and said: "It... it was once taken down the mountain by Uncle Cang Qu, and hung out with him in the human world for three months. All these... these messed up thoughts!"

Lingxi happily asked curiously: "What messed up thoughts does he have?"

Qing Kui paused, Ling Xi didn't wait for his answer, and continued: "But Little Jiu Sheng is so cute..."

Why did Nanzhi look like a grown man when he first appeared, and even his voice didn't sound like Jiu Sheng's cute childish voice...

Jiu Sheng, who was pinned by Qing Kui to his waist, could not speak, and kept nodding his gourd head.

Qing Kui glared at him, and after a long silence, he suddenly said, "Ah Chou, how about you help me discipline him for a few days?"

"Brother Qingkui, you..."

"I'm going to catch the monster." Qing Kui said with a rare seriousness, "Ah Chou, I probably know what the purpose of the Bone Eater is, but I don't want others to know, so I proposed to divide the troops into three groups."

Lingxi's heart moved, and just about to ask, Qing Kui continued: "I will put you down on the next mountain, and you will fly over the first vein of Donghua Mountain with your sword. There is Jiu Sheng by your side, and your Black Rose, I'm afraid this is not what it used to be? They will definitely be able to send you safely to Donghua Mountain."

Lingxi understands that although senior brother Qingkui likes to tease and tease her on weekdays, he treats her sincerely. So after figuring out what happened to Nan Zhi last night, I originally planned to find an opportunity to tell Qing Kui of his existence, but now hearing what Qing Kui said, he hurriedly said: "Second senior brother, you don't have to leave the Jiu Sheng to me, Black Rose... "

"If you don't stay, you're looking down on me!" Qing Kui interrupted her, returning to his foolish look, and said with a smile, "A little Bone Eater, isn't that easy to catch?"

Qing Kui's skills are excellent in all five disciplines. Among Cang Jia's disciples, except for Feng Su, he is the one with the highest cultivation level. Although Lingxi didn't doubt his ability, he was always a little worried when he left in such a hurry.

"Second Senior Brother, what happened to the Bone Eater..."

"I'll talk to you in detail when I get back, Ah Chou, take good care of yourself!"

Qing Kui really put Ling Xi down on the next hill, and went to the southeast without looking back. He didn't bring Jiu Sheng, nor did he take Xiang Yinjian. Lingxi looked at his back as he left Tengyun, and suddenly realized that maybe the appearance of him chasing her on the gourd to beg for Xiang Yinjian a few days ago was just Just to make her happy.

Yu Jian flew to the first pulse of Donghua Mountain, Lingxi was on full alert, every nerve in her body was tense, lest she would be successfully attacked by a monster that appeared suddenly.

But unexpectedly, the journey was very smooth, there was no old monster or little monster popping out halfway, and no big or small devil or something. It went smoothly until Lingxi saw people coming and going. When I was in Huashan, there was an illusion as if I had passed away.

Ever since Feng Su took her to Tianmai Peak, she had hardly seen so many people except during training.

Donghua Mountain is bigger and higher than Cangjia Mountain, and Lingxi can't see the top at a glance, so she can't count how many peaks there are. When she landed firmly at the foot of the first line, she immediately attracted a group of people to watch and discuss.

"Lingxi, the sixth disciple under the head of Xia Cangjia, was ordered by his master to attend the meeting of the Four Immortals, and please lead the way." Lingxi cupped her hands and said politely.

Donghua's disciples are not like Cangjia's disciples, who wear uniform blue robes, but more like swordsmen from the human world, each wearing their own characteristics without breaking the rules.

It's just that Lingxi's words fell to the ground, but no one responded, and it took a long time for a half-hearted sneer to sound out.

"Cang Jia's closed disciple, is this kind of guy?"

Lingxi's face flushed instantly, and she had to lower her head. Immortal cultivators are very sensitive to the depth of each other's Taoism, and often can estimate the opponent's cultivation level with just a few tricks.

"You still have the nerve to say it's Xianliao, little sister, you haven't cultivated the immortal body yet, have you?" Another voice continued to laugh.

Lingxi lowered her head in shame, unable to see the other person's appearance clearly, she just replied: "Lingxi has practiced magic arts for less than six years, and is born stupid, indeed...hasn't cultivated the immortal body yet..."

"Lingxi? Why is this name so familiar?" Another voice interjected.

"Aren't you the Lingxi who let the snow lotus fly to ashes and killed the pillars of Cangjia Mountain?"

Lingxi's head was so low that it couldn't be lowered, and she emphasized again: "I am here to attend the Four Immortals Meeting by order of my teacher!"

"How can even immortals join the Four Immortals' Meeting? This is really a big joke in the Six Realms!" The voice that laughed at her at first said, "That old man Cang Yu dares to accept you as an apprentice? He simply doesn't care about the Immortal World inside!"

Lingxi is not a strong character, it's fine to be ridiculed by others, but although Donghua is the head of the fairy world, he doesn't even understand the most basic way of hospitality, and he is openly disrespectful to the head, isn't it too domineering? some

"This Donghua 'immortal' doesn't distinguish between superiority and inferiority. Doesn't that mean he doesn't take Cangjia seriously?" Lingxi suddenly raised her head and said angrily.

As soon as the words fell to the ground, he saw Bai Huanghuang's sword point stabbing at him, and the man shouted: "Everyone who makes the snow lotus fly into ashes, everyone has to kill him!"

At the foot of Donghua Mountain, it fell into chaos in just a moment. Lingxi narrowly dodged the sword, Jiu Sheng couldn't hold back for a long time, and fought with the person who attacked Lingxi. Seeing this, other people attacked Lingxi one after another. How could Lingxi be their opponent? The rose is about to move.

"The Immortal Donghua invites Miss Lingxi!"

In the chaos, they suddenly thought of Qingling's female bass, and Donghua's disciples stopped their movements and stepped aside silently, making no sound at all. Jiu Sheng's gourd body had already become the size of two people, and it was still whirling in the air. Before she could put away the Xiang Yinjian in Lingxi's hand, she froze in place when she saw the neatly dressed woman in white walking over the clouds.

"I'm sorry to invite you, Miss Lingxi, please forgive me for being negligent earlier." The leading woman stepped forward, her face was like spring water, but her eyes were as sharp as knives, and swept across a group of Donghua disciples.

The disciples of Donghua, who were still invincible just now, knelt down one after another, leaving Lingxi standing in the center alone.

"Miss Lingxi, please."

The leading woman turned sideways slightly, and the row of ten women dressed in the same white clothes lined up in two rows, and they came to Lingxi briskly, with their eyes slightly lowered and their knees slightly bent, waiting for her to step on the front of Lingxi. cloud.
