The morning light is faint, reflecting a faint luster on the water pools on the edge of the grassland. Standing by the water, Nanke stared indifferently at the front, raised his right hand, and there was water, and the medicine was put into his lips. After the two maids helped her take the medicine, they handed wet towels to her to wash her face. After a while, she recovered a little, and waved her hand gently in front of her face.
Although there are aquatic plants everywhere, there are not too many mosquitoes and flies in the Zhou Garden. Her actions are not to drive away anything, but to wipe out a black curtain. On that black curtain, there is a rough outline of the Zhou Garden. There are also a few flickering light spots, those are the life lamps lit by the black robe, pointing out the enemy's position for them.
There are two lamps of life in the grassland, from east to west, they go tens of miles away in a short time, it seems that they are disturbed by some kind of force, and the location cannot be determined, it should be Zhexiu and Qijian, they are already deep In the grassland, logically speaking, there is no possibility of surviving, so Nanke is not worried, and his eyes fall more on the other two life lamps.
The two life lamps belonged to Xu Yourong and Chen Changsheng. They were very eye-catching on the black curtain. They were located on the edge of the grassland, far away from the gardens where human practitioners gathered, and they hadn't been moved for a long time. It seemed to indicate that the two of them were powerless to escape, and it should be soon before she completed the task assigned by the black-robed teacher.
The old man who played the piano came here from the top of Muyu Peak at some time, met Nanke's master and servant, and looked at the life lights on the black curtain. He was not as confident and calm as Nanke, but rather worried: "Xu Yourong He and Chen Changsheng were both seriously injured, so there should be no way to go back to those gardens, but... there are still some human practitioners who have been hiding in the mountains and fields of Zhou Garden, and most of those human practitioners are at the peak of the Netherworld. Changsheng is in the process of fleeing and meets these human practitioners, so what should I do?"
This conspiracy personally formulated by Heipao made full use of Zhou Garden's special conditions and geographical environment. It has a very thorough understanding of the greed of human practitioners before the wealth practice, and its grasp of people's hearts is perfect, so it sneaked into Zhou Garden There are only a few demon masters, and it is enough to make the entire Zhou Garden chaotic and turbulent. If it weren't for Xu Yourong and Chen Changsheng, Zhou Garden might have already become a real Shura field at this time. The problem is that the current human cultivators have already noticed Seeing the conspiracy of the demons, most people gathered together. If they enter a frontal battle, no matter how strong the masters of the demons are, they cannot be opponents of hundreds of human practitioners.
Nanke's expression was still indifferent, he didn't explain anything, he just said: "If Xu Yourong and Chen Changsheng met other human masters in this situation, they might die sooner."
…
…
The spray between the reeds and the shore gradually calmed down, and then covered with a thin layer of ice.
Chen Changsheng's body was wet, and those water stains soon condensed into frost, his eyebrows and temples were covered with snow, as if he had prematurely grown hair, and he, who was already a little precocious, looked a little more vicissitudes.
Xu Yourong naturally noticed the phenomenon of his body, raised his eyebrows slightly, and took his pulse again, and found that the condition of this person's true essence was as thin as before, but the injuries on his internal organs had stabilized, but the heartbeat and breathing were slower than normal. They all slowed down a lot, but I don't know if it's the special kung fu practiced by this person, or it's a sign of death.
Because of the toxin, her vision was still blurred, and she could only vaguely see the man's brows and eyes, which were covered with snow and frost. She looked a bit old-fashioned, she was quiet for a while, and suddenly reached out to wipe off the snow and frost on his face , and then she was startled, not understanding why she did this.
Walking into the woods shrouded in the morning light, stepping on the soft fallen leaves, she walked silently for several tens of feet. She stopped again and looked towards a distant cliff in front of her.
In the woods, there is a road stepped by the predecessors. Although it is covered by fallen leaves, you can still vaguely see the traces of the past, stretching forward, and then turning around the cliff, forming a zigzag.
She gently placed the Chen Changsheng in her hand on the fallen leaves, took out the Tong bow, pulled the bowstring to a semicircle, and aimed there, but did not speak.
The morning breeze entered the woods with the morning light, the morning light was covered by the leaves, the forest was very quiet, but the morning wind was not cut by the branches, gently blowing the hair beside her face, those hairs occasionally touched the bowstring, and did not utter The sound is like the softest fingertips gently pressing the bowstring, and the next moment it is ready to burst into a strong sound.
Some leaves were carried down from the branches by the wind, falling slowly in the dim world in front of her eyes until they fell to her feet.
The longbow didn't move at all, her eyelashes didn't blink, her expression was calm and focused, she just looked at the cliff and the empty place.
The moment the leaf fell in front of her feet, an old voice sounded from the cliff: "Are you friends?"
Following this sound, a hand first appeared outside the cliff, with a gray thread tied between the wrist, holding a wooden sign. The wooden sign was painted with vermilion paint into an extremely complicated pattern. The emblem of the sect, I don't know what's so weird about the paint, but from such a distance, I can feel a clear sense of dryness and heat.
Human practitioners who enter the Zhou Garden will be guided by gray lines, and the sect logo on the wooden sign indicates their identity. It is just a simple action, but it represents multiple meanings, and unnecessary misunderstandings can be avoided as much as possible. From this detail, you can It can be seen that the owner of that old voice is very cautious.
Xu Yourong could only vaguely see the blurred picture, and couldn't see the details clearly, but judging from the calm expression on her face, she absolutely couldn't tell this. She heard strong vigilance and vigilance from the man's voice, thinking Looking at the routine and bloody battles after the opening of the Zhou Garden, and thinking about the bloodstains all over his body, it is indeed easy to misunderstand, and said: "It is not the enemy."
When they met for the first time, they were naturally not friends, but they were not rivals either. This was the explanation she gave.
After a while, a man came out from the side of the cliff. The man was full of white hair, his face was old, at least over a hundred years old, his expression was very calm and steady, but he did not hide his vigilance. The right hand hanging by the waist was holding a magic weapon, and it seemed that it might strike at any time, keeping a safe distance from Xu Yourong in his opinion.
This distance is very particular, it can make him feel safe, and it can also make the other party feel at ease. It is not a senior who has experienced many years of wind, frost, snow and rain, and it is impossible to have such an excellent sense of proportion.
Xu Yourong felt the aura that the other party didn't hide but didn't deliberately exude, and confirmed that the old man was a strong man at the peak of the Netherworld, and his mood was slightly tense, but the expression on his face relaxed.
She let go of the bowstring, held the longbow and said, "Please tell me your name, senior."
The rules in the Zhou Garden have always been bloody and violent, and the human cultivators who are not in the three gardens but are still hiding in the mountains are often masters. They have a lot of ideas about the treasures and inheritance in the Zhou Garden. It is not convenient to meet such people It was a fierce battle, and the other party probably didn't know the news that the demons had sneaked into Zhou Garden.
So she continued calmly and directly: "The demons have sneaked into Zhouyuan, and we were injured by the sneak attack of the demons."
This is still an explanation, but some meaning has been added in the explanation without any trace. The demons who can sneak into Zhouyuan must be powerful, but if they need a sneak attack to hurt her, then she must also be powerful.
I don't know if the old man drew the conclusion she wanted him to draw from her seemingly casual explanation, because it is obvious that this old man, as she had guessed before, has been in Zhouyuan since entering Zhou Garden. She has been hiding in the rare mountains and fields, deliberately avoiding contact with other practitioners, so that she has not heard the news of the demons entering the Zhou Garden until now, and she was very surprised when she heard her words.
"How can the demons enter Zhou Garden?"
The old man was very shocked, but he didn't show any fear. He looked at the gray thread on his wrist and said with a sneer, "No wonder there are so many weird things."
Obviously, he had already completed his treasure hunt in Zhou Garden and found what he needed, so he tried to light the gray line to lead him away, but failed.
Xu Yourong didn't explain, because the Demon Race's conspiracy was too complicated and unnecessary.
The old man looked at Chen Changsheng on the fallen leaves behind her, looked at the frost covering his body, felt a little surprised, and asked, "Is this person your companion?"
Xu Yourong shook his head and said, "I don't know him, I just saw him being attacked by a strong demon and happened to be saved."
"You still don't forget to save people at such a moment, you are a good little girl."
The old man looked at her with admiration, and said, "However, where are you going?"
Xu Yourong said: "Human cultivators are currently gathering in three gardens. I was going to take this fellow there, but because of my injury, the speed was not fast. It would take at least half a day. I was worried about being overtaken by the demons. I didn't want to When I meet a senior, I want to trouble the senior to inform other comrades to come and meet us."
The old man showed a look of disapproval, and said: "We are going together, I will send you there, how can I let you stay here and take risks."
Xu Yourong said: "The demon masters who sneaked into Zhou Garden are very powerful, senior wants to take care of the two of us, I'm afraid..."
There are endless meanings in words, but they are good intentions.
The old man laughed and said: "If you are outside the Zhou Garden, maybe you should be more careful. This is in the Zhou Garden. I think I will meet those powerful demons you mentioned."
His smile is very free and easy, his expression is calm and calm, his eyes are gentle and bright, and when he said this, he looked extremely confident.
A powerhouse at the peak of the Netherworld Realm should be an invincible existence in the Zhou Garden, and the old man's self-confidence has its own reasons.
For some reason, Xu Yourong didn't tell the other party that the powerful demons who sneaked into the Zhou Garden were more terrifying than ordinary peaks of the Tongyou Realm, not to mention that there was such a terrifying existence as Nan Ke.
She showed curiosity and admiration, and asked, "May I ask who you are, senior?"
The old man said: "My surname is Bai and my name is Hai. I have practiced in the Luoyang Sect for more than two hundred years, and I rarely travel outside the Sect. You don't even know it if you think about it."
Xu Yourong was slightly taken aback, as if he was at a loss for the name.
In fact, she felt a little cold.
