"Yutong, step aside." Xie Wanting frowned.
"Brother Sect Leader, I..." Qiu Yutong looked at Xie Wanting almost at a loss, but her feet seemed to have taken root, and she remained motionless.
"Thank you, City Lord, you can't cover it up." Gui Wuya said coldly.
Sang Lingxi gave Gui Wuya a hard look, then looked down at Xie Wanting, and said softly, "Senior brother?"
Bai Hanyuan lowered his eyes, and also looked at Xie Wanting who was in the wheelchair.
Xie Wanting stared closely at Lu Xiao who was behind Qiu Yutong, carefully sizing him up for a long time, as if he was judging something.
Above the cliff, there was a dead silence.
After a while, the Shuo Xue City Lord took a deep breath, turned his eyes to Qiu Yutong again, and softened his voice as much as possible, almost coaxing this little junior: "Yutong, come here, come here!" Brother, come here."
Following Xie Wanting's words, Qiu Yutong clearly felt that Lu Xiao's breathing suddenly tightened for a moment behind him. He panicked inexplicably, and looked back at Lu Xiao: "Xiao'er, tell me, you are not the murderer, right?"
Lu Xiao tightly pursed his thin lips, his face was almost bloodless, and he just shook his head reluctantly: "It's not me."
"It's not you?! Then why do you have such a strong devilish energy?!" Gui Wuya stepped forward and shouted sharply.
"Swipe—" With a soft sound, Qiu Yutong pulled out Tianzhao Yunhai almost subconsciously, and pointed the tip of his sword straight at Gui Wuya: "Don't come here!"
"Yutong, what's wrong with you?" Xie Wanting frowned, "If your apprentice is innocent, then don't protect him, let everyone check carefully, that's all."
"Senior brother, I..." Qiu Yutong's voice was extremely dry, and his mind was in a mess.
The words of the senior brother in charge are very reasonable. If he has a clear conscience, he should naturally let Lu Xiao be checked. But for some reason, he was faintly afraid in his heart. He couldn't help thinking about it over and over again. Thinking about Lu Xiao's abnormal behavior during this period, he was very afraid... What if, what if...
"Lord Qiufeng?" Gui Wuya sneered, "Why, do you want to protect your apprentice? In my opinion, he is most likely the murderer, and the magic pill is on him!"
"It's not him, definitely not him." Qiu Yutong said hoarsely.
"Yutong, since you believe it's not him, let him come over and let everyone check it clearly." Xie Wanting said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, as long as there is a brother around, he will never wrong a good person. "
Sang Lingxi nodded and said, "Junior brother, don't worry."
Bai Hanyuan also nodded slightly.
Qiu Yutong involuntarily clenched the hilt of the sword tightly, her palm sweating slightly. He was struggling in his heart, what the senior brother in charge said was right, but for some reason, he felt that he couldn't hand over Lu Xiao, but in this situation... what should he do
He looked at Xie Wanting, his voice almost begging: "Brother, I can't, I really can't..."
Standing behind him, Lu Xiao suddenly said softly, "Master, don't make things difficult."
Qiu Yutong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something, and turned around abruptly!
Lu Xiao stared at him deeply, then quickly took a few steps back, and jumped back lightly, and just like that, he jumped off a cliff tens of feet high!
"Xiao'er!" Qiu Yutong almost had no time to think, and jumped off the cliff!
The mist-filled pool rushed towards him, and the wind sounded in his ears. Suddenly, there was a high-pitched sound of swords breaking through the air, coming from behind!
Without hesitation, Qiu Yutong swung his sword to block, Tianzhao Yunhai swept across the sky, and immediately swung the weeping blood away!
"哗啦—" With a loud sound of water, the two master and apprentice fell into the cold pool one after another!
"Little brother!"
"They ran away!"
"There is indeed a problem!"
"Chase!"
"Be careful, don't hurt Peak Master Qiu!"
"Swipe-swipe-swipe-" With the sound of piercing through the air, dozens of spirit swords fell into the water one after another like a torrential rain!
The underwater was turbid, Lu Xiao wrapped his arm around Qiu Yutong, and swam out with all his might!
I don't know how long it took before the two slowly surfaced and climbed up a big reef exhausted.
I don’t know where this reef is in the cold pool. It is surrounded by misty water. The reef is cold, wet and slippery. Qiu Yutong lay on the reef, gasping heavily, her hair and clothes were all soaked. , The whole person trembled involuntarily.
Lu Xiao's appearance was not much better, but he didn't seem to care about it at all, with a pair of pitch-black phoenix eyes, he just stared at Qiu Yutong in a daze, and his voice trembled slightly: "Master, you, why don't you follow me... "
"Because the murderer is not you." Qiu Yutong forced herself up and stared at her little apprentice, "Xiao'er, as long as you say no, I will believe you."
"It's not me." Lu Xiao paused.
"I knew it." Qiu Yutong breathed a sigh of relief, and then hesitated a little, "But, why did you run away? Xiaoer, these days, I always feel that you... are not quite right."
Lu Xiao lowered his eyes and did not answer for a long time.
Just when Qiu Yutong thought he would not answer, Lu Xiao said softly: "Master, I... I may be a monster."
Qiu Yutong buzzed in her head, her eyes widened in disbelief: "Monster?! How is this possible?"
Lu Xiao slightly turned his head away, as if he didn't dare to look at Qiu Yutong's expression: "When we just entered the secret realm, we met that lizard..."
As if he was going all out, he told everything exactly, and after that, his voice became lower and lower: "Yesterday, at the bottom of the cold pool, I took out the heart of that monster. Strange feeling, I feel... I seem to have formed a pill."
Qiu Yutong felt that her voice was very hoarse: "You, have you formed a pill?"
Before Lu Xiao could answer, he tremblingly raised his hand, and gently pressed his palm against the other's chest. Even through a layer of wet fabric, he could feel the unusual scorching breath between the dantian of the opponent's chest. Underneath is an extremely hot and powerful... magic pill.
Feeling the hot temperature of the magic pill, Qiu Yutong felt bewildered and confused, and couldn't help but look up at Lu Xiao: "Xiao'er? This...how is this possible?"
Lu Xiao said softly: "Master, if you can't accept it, just kill me."
Qiu Yutong shook her head involuntarily: "No, no..."
How could he kill his little apprentice? This is the only little apprentice in his long monastic career, the little apprentice he has raised for more than ten years, he is poor and cute, he can make sweet-scented osmanthus cake, he is very afraid of thunder, the lonely little apprentice, even, even Monster... how could he...
"You, you didn't do anything bad, even if it's a monster, even if it's a monster... you are still my apprentice." Qiu Yutong said hoarsely, "Anyway, you are my apprentice, the others... I, I don't care."
Lu Xiao stared at him blankly, a faint brilliance gradually emerged in his desperate eyes, and even his voice trembled: "Really? You, you don't care, I'm a monster?"
Qiu Yutong took a deep breath, tried to calm down, gritted her teeth and said: "Let's not talk about this, your identity is too dangerous, they will not let you go... we have to find a place to hide."
After talking about it, Qiu Yutong's voice became a little rough. He knew very clearly that in this situation, once he made such a decision, he would be separated from the cultivation world, and even from Shuo Xuecheng.
He betrayed the comprehension world and Shuo Xuecheng.
Lu Xiao stared at him, seeming to understand what he had given up, and said in a very hoarse voice, "Master, I don't want to hurt you."
"At a time like this, stop talking nonsense!" Qiu Yutong was very upset, and couldn't help but slapped the little apprentice's forehead hard, and then grabbed his wet hair in extreme irritability, "Forget it, let me think about it, Where can we hide... Don't be idle, think about it for me! Think hard!"
Looking at his embarrassed and anxious look, Lu Xiao felt that the heart in his chest seemed to be scorched by some kind of small flame. It was scorching hot and painful, but also indescribably joyful and sweet. … He wanted to hug the person in front of him tightly, he wanted to kiss this person desperately, he wanted to cry and laugh at the same time, he wanted to peck and kiss this person's ear and face repeatedly, and tell this person over and over again, How much I love him...
Qiu Yutong didn't notice his strangeness, and squinted her eyes to look at the misty distance: "How about we go over there..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a gust of cold wind clung to the surface of the water and roared in!
Qiu Yutong reacted suddenly, and immediately swung his sword!
Where Amaterasu's sea of clouds and sword light swept across, weeping blood circled quickly, and returned to Gui Wuya's hands in the distance! Behind Gui Wuya, Beihai Sword Sect, Shuo Xuecheng, Nanshan Temple... Hundreds of monks, Yujian all chased after him!
"Let's go!" Qiu Yutong pulled Lu Xiao up, and the two of them leaped onto the sea of clouds and roared towards the center of the pool!
There was a strong wind behind him, and spirit swords pierced through the air constantly attacking!
Lu Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "Master, I... I'm very happy when you treat me like this. But, I can't burden you anymore, hand me over."
Qiu Yutong didn't even bother to pay attention to him, Tianzhao Yunhai slightly slanted under his feet, and avoided a spirit sword again!
"Yutong, stop! Are you crazy?!" An extremely anxious voice came from behind.
Qiu Yutong's feet froze slightly, it was... it was the senior brother in charge. Xie Wanting has always been calm and calm, Qiu Yutong has never heard such an anxious voice from the other party.
And the red shadow on the opposite side flickered, weeping blood circled again, roaring over!
Qiu Yutong leaped into the air without thinking, tiptoes towards the scarlet sword tip, slightly! Weeping Blood immediately deviated from the direction, whizzed and circled away, almost brushing Gui Wuya's mask, Jian Feng even took a strand of Gui Wuya's long hair with him!
Behind him, Xie Wanting's wheelchair had already brushed the water surface, he frowned slightly, and pulled out the white jade/dongxiao from his waist!
Almost like a conditioned reflex, Lu Xiao spun down from Tianzhao Yunhai and grabbed Xie Wanting's throat!
He was strangling Xie Wanting's throat tightly, and he felt the blood in his chest boiling up like some kind of beast! He knew, as long as he gently twisted his hand... But, this is the most respected brother in charge of the master, he can't do this, he can't...
Suddenly, his abdomen hurts slightly.
The white jade/dongxiao in Xie Wanting's hand pierced into his abdomen mercilessly.
Lu Xiao hissed in pain, and clenched his teeth hard! He knew that the person in front of him was very dangerous, very dangerous, and he should immediately crush this person's throat, but he also knew that as long as he squeezed it down, everything between him and Qiu Yutong would be over.
"Xiao'er!" Qiu Yutong was dizzy, and called Tianzhao Yunhai with his backhand, and the sword wind roared out!
Xie Wanting controlled the wheelchair and slid back a few feet: "Yutong! Wake up! You apprentice, you are really a monster!"
The lingering sword wind of Tianzhao Yunhai caused huge waves several feet high on the surface of the pool. Qiu Yutong picked up Lu Xiao, jumped into Tianzhao Yunhai, and Yujian roared away!
He hugged Lu Xiao tightly, and the wind was blowing in his ears. The Cuiwei Cold Pool was so vast, but where could they escape? At this moment, Qiu Yutong almost had an illusion, as if he had returned to the illusion at the bottom of the pool, and he was the bewildered Qingheng Immortal Venerable...
"They're in that direction!"
"Qiu Yutong hurt City Master Xie and Island Master Gui!"
"Has he already turned into a demon?"
"It's all about that monster, don't hurt Lord Qiufeng!"
"Yutong!"
"Hurry up!"
There were chaotic shouts from all directions in the cold pool, Qiu Yutong hugged the little apprentice, he didn't know where to go, he stood blankly on the sea of clouds in the sky, listening to the faint shouts in the distance, his heart was at a loss .
"They're over there!" "Don't be afraid, that monster has been injured!" Following bursts of shouts, dozens of spirit swords came screaming through the air! Hundreds of magic weapons also came all over the sky!
"Qi—" Qiu Yutong suddenly recovered and shouted in a hoarse voice!
"Boom!!" With a loud bang, a huge wall of water rose above the surface of the cold pool, and then quickly condensed into a sky-reaching ice curtain. Above, one after another fell!
How to do how to do
Qiu Yutong barely supported the ice curtain, her mind was in chaos.
His spiritual power is limited, and this ice curtain can't last long, so escaping like this is not a long-term solution after all. Moreover, Xiao'er was injured... If, if I could lure these people away, that would be great. However, they have already discovered that Xiao'er is a monster... Even if they split into two groups, they will only go after Xiao'er, not themselves.
Lu Xiao barely covered the wound on his abdomen, took a low breath, and said intermittently: "Master, listen to me, and leave me to them. I will figure out the rest, and I will deal with them... the return What Wuya wants is just the magic pill. If you hand me over, he won't make things difficult for you... Without me as a monster, your seniors will protect you too... Cough cough... "
Qiu Yutong couldn't bear it anymore and said: "You deal with them?! What do you use to deal with them?! You are a monster, whether it is Shuo Xuecheng or Nanshan Temple, no one will speak for you! If Gui Wuya catches you, You will be imprisoned in the water prison of Shengxian Island immediately, and your magic pill will be taken out... "
At this point, Qiu Yutong gave a sudden pause.
magic pill? ! That's right, the Beihai Sword Sect and others just want the magic pill, while the monks in Shuo Xuecheng and Nanshan Temple want to kill the monsters.
Exterminate the monsters, snatch the magic pill... What will happen if the monster dies and the magic pill is in your hands
Qiu Yutong was thinking desperately. Seeing that he was silent, Lu Xiao repeated softly: "Master, don't make things difficult, just leave me to them."
In the blink of an eye, Qiu Yutong suddenly got excited and had an idea.
This idea can save his little apprentice, but he has to fool Gui Wuya, the brother in charge, Qingci Qinghui, and hundreds of monks... Not only that, he even has to fool Lu Xiao. Only by cheating together can we be sure that nothing will go wrong... Although this is too cruel for his little apprentice, it won't take long for Lu Xiao to understand.
Qiu Yutong pursed her lips tightly, thinking hard, he is very self-aware, with his scheming and his level, it is really too difficult to fool Lu Xiao, the senior brother in charge, and Gui Wuya ... According to his usual temperament, what should he do to deceive everyone
Qiu Yutong was silent for a long time, and finally hesitated and said: "Xiao'er, what do you mean, let me hand you over to them?"
Lu Xiao nodded slightly.
"However, if you fall into their hands, they will definitely take out your magic pill." Qiu Yutong pursed her lips, looked up at her little apprentice, her eyes were full of struggle.
"Master, it's nothing..." Lu Xiao softened his voice, as if he wanted to comfort the other party, Qiu Yutong shook his head lightly, and interrupted him directly: "Xiao'er, I just think that instead of taking advantage of these people, it's better to take advantage of them." The magic pill... I gave it to my teacher."
Lu Xiao's voice suddenly became hoarse, and he was stunned.
Qiu Yutong felt that his throat was dry. He knew that he couldn't act too stiff or heartless. That would be too fake. Lu Xiao must be able to sense the difference. If Lu Xiao's expression was slightly wrong, the ice curtain would The senior brothers beside the sect leader, Gui Wuya, and the others might find something unusual, and all previous efforts would be wasted. He has to act very natural, very perfect, to fool everyone.
This kind of thing is really too difficult for him... But for the sake of his little apprentice, he must do his best to perform this scene perfectly.
Qiu Yutong took a deep breath, tried her best to use her usual tone, and coaxed softly: "Xiao'er, give the magic pill as a teacher, okay?"
Lu Xiao stared at him blankly, as if he couldn't believe his ears, hesitantly said: "Master, you... what are you talking about?"
While the two were talking, countless spiritual swords and treasures struck the ice curtain fiercely with "crackling!!" cracks had already appeared on the ice curtain, and it seemed that it could no longer support it!
Gui Wuya suddenly said: "Wait a minute, what does Qiu Yutong want to do?"
"Stop." Xie Wanting also raised his hand to stop everyone's attack.
On both sides of the ice curtain, there was a deathly silence.
Qiu Yutong understood very well that at this moment, everyone was staring at him closely, and he had to do his best not to let anyone see any flaws.
"Xiao'er, I'm sorry... I'll be right soon, it won't hurt too much." While apologizing softly, he suddenly raised his right hand!
Five slender and white fingers, like lightning, penetrated into Lu Xiao's chest fiercely!
Lu Xiao shivered in pain, but he didn't resist at all. He just looked at Qiu Yutong in fear and bewilderment, as if he suspected that he was still in an illusion, or in some terrible nightmare.
Qiu Yutong lowered her eyes, pretending to be guilty, and quietly avoided the other party's gaze.
Gradually, Lu Xiao seemed to finally understand something. The blood on that young and handsome face faded in an instant: "Master, you, you want to kill me? You also want... the magic pill?"
Qiu Yutong lowered his eyes and did not answer. He just slowly tightened his five fingers. He could almost feel that the burning magic pill in the opponent's chest was trembling slightly between his five fingers, vulnerable to a single blow.
He controlled the magic pill, and finally summoned up his courage, slowly raised his eyes, and looked directly at his little apprentice: "Xiao'er, you should also know that the teacher saved you at the beginning, just for the experience of entering the world... this time To save you, I just don’t want your magic pill to fall into other people’s hands. The way of swordsmanship is boundless and boundless, and the way to achieve perfection is to be too forgetful... You should be your master. "
Lu Xiao stared at him blankly, with no trace of blood on his face.
I don't know how long it took before he opened his mouth, with a hoarse voice: "Ahem, that's how it is, that's how it is. Too much forgetfulness is the only way to achieve consummation... In fact, five years ago, when you ascended, I should have understood of."
Qiu Yutong was speechless, and could only reluctantly say: "Xiao'er, you know, what I practice as a teacher is the way of swordsmanship."
Lu Xiao looked at him for a long time, then suddenly twitched the corners of his mouth, but this smile was uglier than crying: "That's right, the way of the sword... the way of the sword, the master cultivates the supreme way of the sword, the way is ruthless, so what am I?"
"Xiao'er, don't be like this. I, I..." Qiu Yutong's voice became hoarse, and he had nothing to say.
His five fingers were inserted into the other's warm chest, and the scorching magic pill was trembling at his fingertips, what else could he say
Lu Xiao ignored him, and didn't even seem to feel the pain, his voice was as soft as a whisper: "Ahem, for so many years, I have been lying to myself, thinking that although Master is obsessed with swordsmanship, he still cares about me more or less ... I even thought, after I go back, I will tell you... I thought that I would have a little chance... I was wishful thinking, it was ridiculous, it was ridiculous."
As he spoke, there was finally no light in his pitch-black eyes: "...that's ridiculous."
Looking at him, Qiu Yutong felt an unspeakable colic in his chest, as if his heart was pinched by sharp nails, and he could hardly breathe for a while. Enough is enough, he can't continue pretending... A ball of spiritual power suddenly condensed from his fingertips, and he smashed into the opponent's dantian hard!
Lu Xiao snorted, but didn't struggle at all. His pupils gradually dilated, and he stared at Qiu Yutong hollowly and stubbornly, and finally fell limply in the other's arms.
Qiu Yutong tightened her arms slightly, go to sleep, my little apprentice, when you wake up, you will naturally understand why I did this. I'm sorry for cheating you and hurting you like this, but I can't help it, I'm so stupid, I can only think of this way to protect you...
He hugged Lu Xiao with his left arm, and slowly withdrew his right hand from the opponent's chest. A magic pill, a shiny and bright fake magic pill, had already been transformed into his fingertips.
All eyes were fixed on the magic pill.
Afterwards, Qiu Yutong gently pushed.
Lu Xiao's broken body fell lightly into the deep cold pool from the sky above the sea of clouds, like a thin leaf, without even splashing too much water.
No one pays attention to him anymore, the monster is dead, the magic pill is gone, and it has no value anymore.
Qiu Yutong lowered her eyes, watching Lu Xiao slowly sink into the dark cold pool, and finally disappeared... In this way, the monster is dead, and when the magic pill is in his hands, everyone will follow him. After hours, Lu Xiao will wake up at the bottom of the cold pool, and when he finds that the magic pill is still in his body, he will understand his painstaking efforts.
His little apprentice is so smart, he can naturally find a way to escape from the secret realm, as long as he survives the current hurdle, the two of them, master and apprentice, will meet again in the future.
Qiu Yutong closed her eyes, pretended to be cautious, and put the fake magic pill into the Qiankun bag lightly, and without looking back, Yu Jian never left!
"Crash—" With a loud noise, a large piece of ice curtain suddenly shattered, and Gui Wuya said sharply: "The magic pill is in Qiu Yutong's hands, chase after me!"
The author has something to say: Qiuqiu: I am such a clever little ghost!
Ahem, but who knows when Xiaoxiao will wake up, and when he wakes up, will the magic pill still be there
