Chapter 3 Footprint

Black mountain peak.

After stepping on the mountain peak, a strong odor always floated in the air, a little choking, with a smell of sulfur. Gui Li and Jin Ping'er are both people with deep practice. They can stand this strange smell, but as they gradually go deep into the mountain peak, the gradually strong yin wind gradually makes them frown.

It was a cold wind with a bone. Somehow, when it blew across the face, although the wind was not so strong, it was really chilling from the bottom of my heart. Coupled with the faint shrill from the depths of the mountain in front of me, it rose and fell one after another, like an ape crying at night, and a fierce ghost laughed miserably, and it was also a panic in my ears.

Monkey Xiaohui lay on Gui Li's shoulder, gnawed the last wild fruit, threw the kernels away, opened his three eyes, and looked around. It seemed that for it, it was not affected by these visions at all.

Jin Ping'er frowned more and more, and suddenly said, "It seems that something is wrong."

Gui Li was stunned, stopped and said, "What's wrong?"

Jin Ping'er hesitated for a moment and said, "When I followed here last time, there were no ghosts crying wolves and gusts all over the mountains. Only when I went to the ancient cave of Zhenmo, it seemed to have some. Why is it that after a while, this place is like a ghost prison?

Gui Li looked into the distance and said lightly, "Maybe this is a nest of beasts and demons. It's too fierce. It should be so. He had just come back to life when you came that day. Of course, there is no recent weather.

Jin Ping'er thought about it, and that's the only way to explain it. On that day, at the head of Qingyun Mountain, the Beast God fought a bloody battle with the Jade Immortal Sword, which was severely damaged by the ancient sword of Jade Immortals. Everyone could see how powerful the sword was. However, even under the Jade Dynasty Sword Array, the Beast God can still escape, but his practice is enough to shock the world.

Jin Ping'er's eyes flowed and suddenly said, "You say, in case we really find the beast god in the ancient cave of Zhenmo, although he has been injured, can the two of us really deal with him?"

Gui Li shook his head and said, "How do I know?"

Jin Ping'er looked at him and suddenly smiled and said, "Look at your appearance, I'm afraid you're not sure!" In that case, why are you still here with me?

She looked at the ghost and said with a smile, "Don't forget that there is a Baguio waiting for you to save her in the Huqi Mountain!" If you die here, aren't you too sorry for her?"

Gui Li snorted, walked forward and said, "This is what her father ordered me to do. I have to do too much Baguio, and I always have to do something. It's you," he sneered and said, "If you die here unfortunately, I'm afraid you won't close your eyes, right?"

Jin Ping'er smiled charmingly and smiled at his back, "Ouch! You are really good-looking. As long as we die together, let's not to mention this beast's nest, it's a pigsty and cattle pen, that's also good.

Gui Li sneered twice in front of him. Obviously, he didn't believe Jin Ping'er's words at all, not to mention that he was moved at all, but just walked straight. Instead, the monkey on his shoulder turned his head and smiled at Jin Ping'er, which was rare to crack his mouth. It seemed that he was in a good mood.

Unlike several women who were dated by Gui Li before, Xiaohui was not as intimate with the two women of Xiaobai and Xiaohuan on that day. After a few days, it was the first time that she smiled happily like this.

The golden bottle was more or less unexpected, but it was not a bad thing, but also a little happy. He was about to walk forward to tease the monkey. Unexpectedly, the monkey cracked its mouth and just smiled for a moment. Suddenly, his mouth was open, but he spit out a black thing. It was extremely fast and flew straight to the place where the golden

Jin Ping'er was shocked, but after all, she was not an ordinary person and did not panic. She turned her feet slightly, and her body abruptly stepped aside a little, giving up the strange thing.

Only a low sound, the thing fell to the ground and did not bounce up, but directly hit the ground. Jin Ping'er looked back, but it was a wild fruit core. I don't know when there was still one left in Xiaohui's mouth. He tasted it, but now he used it to tease her.

Jin Ping'er was teased by a monkey. His heart was slightly angry, and his beautiful face was a little white. He looked at it horizontally, but he saw that the gray-haired monkey had turned around and sat on the ghost's shoulder. Facing the golden bottle, his hands were in his chest ** fork, his feet swung around, There is a legendary hooligan spirit, and even the long tail is swaying behind him, as if I'm bullying you, and I'm a hooligan. Who am I afraid of?

It's okay if the golden bottle doesn't look at it. At first glance, it's even more angry. He took a few steps to catch up with the ghost and said angrily, "Why is your monkey so ung upbred? Do you know that you can spit out people with the core?"

Gui Li slowly turned his head and looked at the golden bottle. He looked a little strange on his face and said for a long time, "Are you scolding it?" With that, he pointed to Xiaohui.

The golden bottle nodded.

Xiaohui suddenly became angry. He jumped up from the ghost's shoulder, squeaked, opened his eyes wide, clenched his hands into fists, and couldn't help scratching. It seemed that he was in anger. He wanted to fight with the golden bottle who complained, and the momentum was overwhelming.

Jin Ping'er didn't expect that this gray-haired monkey was so humane. He was stunned for a moment, took a step back, and then ignored it and shouted to Gui Li, "I'm just scolding it. This beast is really abominable. You have to teach it well if you raise it..."

"You!" Suddenly, Gui Li rarely opened his mouth loudly, shouted at Xiao Hui, and also interrupted Jin Ping'er's words.

Xiaohui was shocked and paused. Jin Ping'er was also shocked and looked at the ghost.

Ghost Li frowned, looked serious, and shouted at Xiao Hui, "I told you earlier that you need to read more to be reasonable, but you just don't listen. Why didn't you learn the book "The Strange Gods and Demons" that I taught you last time? Copy 300 articles for me later and come back to see me!"

Xiaohui's three eyes widened together, blinked and blinked, touched his head with his hand, scratched it again, and touched it again. Obviously, he was a little dazed.

But the golden bottle on the other side was not much better. After being surprised, she couldn't help sneering and said, "What the hell are you talking about? Even if this monkey is humane, he has never heard of anyone who can read and write!"

Gui Li turned his head and looked at her. "Oh," as if he woke up and said lightly, "In this case, even if you say so, it's not my fault that the monkey is not upbred. Everything is born, but the monkey can't read, but what, what?"

He looked at the golden bottle and sighed insincerely. Without further words, he turned back and walked forward.

Jin Ping'er was so angry that his face turned white.

The monkey Xiaohui in front of him fell off the ghost's shoulder and fell to the ground, but he didn't see any pain. Instead, he screamed loudly, danced, laughed wildly, sometimes holding his stomach, sometimes pounding the ground, and even with his limbs facing the sky and waving his tail. In short, how rampant

The more Jin Ping'er looked at it, the more angry he became. Just as he was about to attack, Xiao Hui suddenly jumped up. "Squeak" shouted at Jin Ping'er and made a big grimace. Then he landed on all fours and ran back. He jumped on Gui Li's shoulder a few times, and then lay down again It's a grimace.

The golden bottle was so angry that even her body seemed to tremble a little. As soon as she bit her teeth, she raised her hand to wave forward. Under the warm sun, the edge of her palm shone with a lilac light, which was extremely strange.

It was only half of the palm, but it paused in the air. Under the figure of the man in front of him, it seemed that there was also a faint cyan light at hand.

The pupil of the golden bottle contracted.

For a long time, she suddenly paused, then put down her hand, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath. After several ups and downs in her chest, her face has returned to her usual appearance. And the green glow in front of him also slowly disappeared. As for his figure, he had slowly gone far in the harsh laughter of the gray-haired three-eyed monkey.

The golden bottle calmed down, and there was still a little anger in her heart, but at the same time, somehow, there was a little heat on her face. She has always turned all sentient beings upside down and played tricks on people's hearts. How could she know that she was teased by a monkey today...

She snorted and put aside these things. She was about to move forward. Suddenly, she frowned, as if she remembered something again. She turned around and walked back slowly. Before long, she had arrived at the place where the core that Xiao Hui had just provoked and spit out landed.

The core is the ordinary mountain wild core here, which is not strange, but at this time, the core actually fell to the ground, revealing only a little hard shell outside. And this charred and strange peak is not like the rest of the 100,000 mountains, with soft soil and hard rocks everywhere.

The little ash spit out the power of the fruit into the hard stone.

Jin Ping'er frowned slowly, slowly stood up, and looked in the direction of the ghost's fierce figure disappearing. The gloomy wind blew from that direction, and there still seemed to be a strange laugh of the monkey's little gray in the wind.

Low, as if she whispered to herself, "How come even this monkey has such a Taoism? It progresses so fast. What on earth is this person..."

The vast black forest has welcomed new visitors. It's just that the number of guests this time is much higher than before. A team of more than a dozen people walked through the jungle, in the lush trees and thorns.

It's just that this section of the journey was surprisingly smooth, except that there was no unexpected attack by the beast.

Several people walking at the front of the team were not ordinary people. Lu Xueqi frowned slightly and did not say anything, but Zeng Shushu couldn't help saying to Li Xun, "Brother Li, there seems to be something wrong here!"

Li Xun stopped, looked around, then looked at Zeng Shushu, pondered for a moment, turned around and shouted to the disciples of the Incense Valley, "Let's rest here for a while, and we will continue on our way later."

Everyone agreed. Obviously, it is not an easy thing for anyone to walk such a way.

After settling down others, Li Xun and Zeng Shushu walked a little ahead and approached Lu Xueqi at the same time. Lu Xueqi frowned, but took a step back.

Li Xun's face darkened. Zeng Shushu was so clever that he immediately opened his mouth and said, "Brother Li, have you also found it?"

Li Xun nodded and his eyes fell to the feet of the three people standing. In the dense thorns, although it was blurred, it was faintly visible that someone had trampled on the thorns after the thorns were broken.

"Someone passed through this forest before us, and certainly not a long time ago." He must have said it, and at the same time, a trace of unconcealed sadness appeared on his face.

Zeng Shushu murmured, "Could it be Brother Li, your fellow..."

Li Xun shook his head and said, "It's impossible. Only our team goes deep into 100,000 mountains in the incense valley. Most of the young generation of elites in the valley are here, and no one else will come in."

Zeng Shushu frowned and said, "That's strange. According to the owner of Cloud Valley that day, this news should not have been leaked! Did other sects also know this news and enter 100,000 mountains?

Li Xun hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head and said, "I don't think so. First of all, this matter is indeed kept secret. Only our two factions know it." He coughed gently and lowered his voice and said, "The Beast God is the culprit of the catastrophe. If others fall into the well Bloody war, is it..."

Zeng Shushu stretched out his hand, smiled, patted Li Xun on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "What Brother Li said is exactly what I want. It's really the hero's opinion! Ha ha, ha ha ha..."

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, but suddenly there was a cold hum next to him, which came from Lu Xueqi's mouth. Both of them were stunned and looked at it in a blink of an eye.

Zeng Shushu asked in a low voice, "Sister Lu, what's wrong with you? Did we say something wrong?"

Lu Xueqi looked at him coldly, turned her head, and sneered, "The face is hateful!"

Zeng Shushu was stunned and couldn't figure out the meaning of Lu Xueqi's words for a moment. I don't know whether she scolded herself or Li Xun, or simply scolded both of them. He turned his head and looked at Li Xun. The two of them looked at each other and felt embarrassed for a moment. They didn't know what to say.

After a while, after all, Zeng Shushu's face was thicker. He hit a ha ha and pretended not to have heard anything. He said to Li Xun, "Brother Li, since the news has not been leaked, and it's not your other disciples of Burning Fragrant Valley, there are such traces here. I'm

Li Xun frowned. Obviously, he was also struggling to think about it. When he was about to speak, Lu Xueqi, who had just turned around in front of him, said coldly, "Beast God!"

Zeng Shushu and Li Xun were shocked, and their faces showed a stunned look.

After a while, Zeng Shushu nodded slowly. Although he was a little hesitant, he still said, "This... Although what Sister Lu said is relatively... whimsful, it's really possible to think about it!"

Li Xun's expression was not the same as Zeng Shushu's. He hesitated for a moment and shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's go on and have a look. It's useless to guess randomly here."

With that, he said to the two of them, "You also take a rest. I'll go back and see those brothers."

Zeng Shushu nodded and said, "Brother Li, please!"

Li Xun told him to be careful and walked back.

When Li Xun was far away, Zeng Shushu turned his head, turned to Lu Xueqi's back, and suddenly smiled and said, "Sister Lu, were you scolding me just now?"

Lu Xueqi snorted coldly, neither admitting nor denying it. Looking at the meaning, it means more acquiescence.

Zeng Shushu smiled bitterly, meditated for a moment, and slowly walked to Lu Xueqi, but lowered his voice and said, "Sister Lu, I have something to ask you."

Lu Xueqi glanced at him and was slightly stunned. She saw that Zeng Shushu's face was very serious at this moment, which was very different from usual. She immediately said, "What?"

Zeng Shushu took a deep breath, looked around, and then whispered, "Sister Lu, tell me honestly, is the ancient sword of the Jade Dynasty really damaged?"

Lu Xueqi's face turned white, and her eyes flashed. She stared at Zeng Shushu. Even the Tianya sword in her hand, the light blue light like autumn water, seemed to make an invisible buzzing sound, stretched out in an instant, and then slowly took it back.

Zeng Shu's writing color changed slightly. He only felt that the woman in white in front of him was like ice for a moment, but this moment seemed to become a sharp and terrible needle in an instant. He couldn't help taking a step back and smiled bitterly, "Sister Lu, don't have to do this!"

Lu Xueqi stared at him coldly and said, "What do you mean by asking this sentence?"

Zeng Shushu smiled and said, "Anyway, I'm also a disciple of Qingyun. How can I not care about this kind of thing? Sister Wenmin returned to the mountain temporarily, I'm afraid it's just to repay you, right?

Lu Xueqi didn't say anything, just looked at him coldly.

Zeng Shushu nodded and said, "Okay, all right, Sister Lu, you see, I'm not malicious, but some things here are very suspicious, and there are few opportunities along the way. I'll talk to you now."

Lu Xueqi looked at him and said, "What's the matter?"

Zeng Shushu coughed and whispered, "What kind of person do you think Yun Yilan, the owner of the Burning Valley?"

Lu Xueqi frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

Zeng Shushu smiled and said, "Let's put it this way. Do you think he is a simple-minded person? Or is it a person who is as evil as hatred, takes the right path of the world as his own responsibility, and is not prepared for the disciples of Qingyun who are also the right path at all?

Lu Xueqi snorted and didn't say anything, but the disdain on her face was beyond words. Obviously, she was completely negative to Zeng Shushu's problems.

Zeng Shushu was not angry. It seemed that he had long known that Lu Xueqi would have this kind of reaction, and then said, "Since we all know that Yungu Lord is not such a warm-hearted or simple-minded person, isn't it strange that he rushed to ask the three of us in the Shanhe Hall that day?"

Lu Xueqi took a deep breath and looked at Zeng Shushu without saying a word.

Zeng Shushu was a little embarrassed and said, "Okay! I know it's really inappropriate for a respected elder to say this behind his back, but you see, it's really strange to think about these things carefully..."

"There is nothing wrong with it." Lu Xueqi said in a cold voice, as if she was too lazy to open Zeng Shushu's mouth slightly. She said coldly, "Just say it. There is nothing to worry about. From Qingyun Mountain to now, I don't think he is a good person!"

"Uh..." Zeng Shushu was surprised and funny, and he couldn't speak for a moment. He never dreamed that Lu Xueqi, who had always followed the rules, was even more out of line than himself, and directly said the words of contempt for a respected predecessor. But looking back, it seems that there are really a lot of holidays between this beautiful and beautiful woman, the respected predecessor and his disciples!

Looking at Lu Xueqi's face, Zeng Shushu somehow felt a little cold at the back of his neck. He intuitively thought, did he accidentally poke the hornet's nest? With a cough, he quickly changed the topic and said, "Well, er, well, let's not care about his character first. I mean, there are at least a few unusual places in this matter..."

"How did he know the news that the ancient sword of Zhuxian was damaged? This is one of them." Lu Xueqi said, the expression on her face remained unchanged, but there was a trace of light in her eyes, like a dazzling crystal. "Second, why did he tell us after he knew it? He clearly knew that the news came out of his mouth, and we must return it to the teachers of Qingyunmen. So between the Burning Fragrant Valley and Qingyunmen, isn't it going to change immediately?

Zeng Shushu nodded repeatedly and said, "I know that with Sister Lu's intelligence, I can't find out what's important to do." After a moment, he continued: "If you think about it carefully, the Lord Yungu is nothing more than two situations. First, there are spies in Qingyunmen who inform him. He actually knows the news that even Qingyun disciples like me can't be underestimated. It can be seen that the status of this spy cannot be underestimated. But when he said this, isn't it possible to expose the spy's identity instead?

Lu Xueqi snorted and said, "Second, what is the purpose of what he told us these words?" Is it to remind Qingyunmen that he already knows this secret, or to warn the teachers that the Incense Valley is no longer afraid of Qingyunmen?

Zeng Shushu took a deep look at Lu Xueqi, sighed and said, "What I think in my heart, so you have thought of it for a long time. I still want to remind you. But it's right to think about it. On that day, you asked Sister Wenmin to temporarily return to Qingyun to report these things to your elders!"

Lu Xueqi nodded silently.

Zeng Shushu's mouth moved, and suddenly there was a long sigh, and his voice was full of emotion.

Lu Xueqi was slightly stunned and said, "What's wrong with you?"

Zeng Shushu smiled bitterly and said, "I, I sighed for the ancient sword of the Jade Dynasty. To be honest, although I think of this in the past few days, it is still very reluctant to be true in my heart. I would rather guess wrong."

Lu Xueqi didn't say anything, but silently turned her head and looked ahead. Deep in the dense forest, it is dark, and the future is not bright.

Zeng Shushu took a long breath, shook his head and said, "Forget it, anyway, there is no way to think about it, so I have to take it step by step. I'd like to see what kind of medicine is sold in the cloud valley master gourd?

Lu Xueqi did not answer, and her eyes inadvertently turned to the blurred trace she had just found.

Zeng Shushu whispered, "Actually, although the beast god you mentioned is also possible, I always think it should not be him."

Lu Xueqi said, "Then who do you think you are?"

Zeng Shushu pondered for a moment and whispered, "If what Li Xun said is true, and it's really not their other disciples in the Incense Valley, I'm afraid that most of these traces are left by the remnants of the Demon Sect."

Lu Xueqi's body shook and turned her head. She was moved for the first time on her always cold and beautiful face. She said, "Why do you say that?"

Zeng Shushu pointed to the trace and said, "You see, although this trace is vague, it is obviously a trace left by human beings through this place. Since the Incense Valley has never been, there are no other sects in the world that are more familiar with the 100,000 mountains than them, and it is hard to imagine that they will be traced here. But the magic religion is different. After the war between good and evil, the magic religion was expelled from the middle of the earth by the right path. It seems that in such a poor place, I'm afraid they will also come. So it's them, I think it's very possible.

"What do you think! Sister Lu?" Zeng Shushu turned his head and asked, but looking at Lu Xueqi's face, he couldn't help but be stunned.

The beautiful woman stared at the footprints, and her face looked slightly pale, but unexpectedly there was a faint blush, which came out from the depths of her skin. In this lonely and cold ancient forest, she stood quietly, as if she had fallen into a strange dream and could no longer hear the words of the people next to her.
