Chapter 57057 Evil Thoughts

Chapter 57

The Haoqing Abyss is vast and teeming with poisonous creatures, so anyone navigating it must be extremely cautious. Yingji, Bajiao, and Jianfeng searched the abyss for six or seven days but found no trace of Yuqingzhu or Haoqing Falcon.

Basho yawned repeatedly and muttered, "I want to sleep."

Jianfeng was about to laugh at her for having too many things to do, but Yingji said, "That's just right. I need to eat."

The three of them found a place to stop and rest. Basho lay down on the ground, spread his arms out like a big character, and immediately fell into a deep sleep.

Ying Ji took out dry food and a water bag from her Qiankun bag and ate and drank in small sips.

Of the three of them—a mortal, a young demon, and a wild ghost—Jianfeng was the one with the least to do. Jianfeng sat off to the side, boredly looking around. Soon, he shifted his gaze to Yingji, watching her eat.

His eyes were filled with sincere admiration, so passionate that it was blatant.

Yingji had long sensed his gaze, but ignored it. Only after she had eaten and drunk her fill and put the remaining food into her Qiankun pouch did she raise her eyes, glaring coldly at Jianfeng, and ask, "Haven't you seen enough?"

Jianfeng shook his head subconsciously and said bluntly, "The eyes are meant to see beautiful things. Ah Ying is so beautiful, I could look at her for hundreds of years and never get tired of her."

Yingji was already tired of this kind of low-brow compliment. She said with disdain, "You were sixteen when you died, so you probably didn't have a wife yet? And in the three hundred years since you died, you haven't met a beautiful ghost for you to pursue, have you?"

Jianfeng's smile faded, he glared at Yingji, turned around and ignored her.

Yingji smiled, lay down next to Bashao, hugged Bashao's furry body, and took a nap.

After a good sleep, the three of them continued on their journey.

After searching for another two days, I finally saw a few sparsely growing Yuqing bamboos next to a swamp.

"Yuqing Bamboo!" Jianfeng was overjoyed.

A smile also appeared on Yingji's face.

The three of them hurried forward, carefully avoiding the swamp, gradually approaching the Jade Pure Bamboo. Yingji observed the surroundings for any poisonous creatures. Jianfeng chopped down the Jade Pure Bamboo branches one by one with his knife, throwing them to Bajiao. Bajiao caught them with a smile and tossed them into the bamboo basket on his back.

Jianfeng cut down several Yuqing bamboos, and the three of them left immediately. Suddenly, a small black snake crawled out of the swamp and slowly approached Yingji.

"Be careful!" Jianfeng reminded.

Ying Ji also noticed it at the first moment, and swung the scimitar in her hand, immediately cutting off the black snake's head before it could bite her.

This black snake is extremely poisonous. If you get bit by it, you will definitely get into big trouble. Before Yingji could breathe a sigh of relief, she felt a stinging pain on the back of her hand.

Her heart tightened, and when she looked carefully, she found that the tip of the scimitar had scratched the back of her hand when she had just chopped off the snake's head.

Seeing that it was her own scimitar scratch and not the black snake bite, Ying Ji breathed a sigh of relief. She immediately took out the pain-relieving powder from her Qiankun bag and sprinkled it on the wound on the back of her hand.

Jianfeng watched from the side, grinning playfully: "Aying, you seem to be very afraid of death!"

Yingji said: "Only the living are afraid of death, the dead are naturally not afraid."

Jianfeng's smile suddenly faded. He said unhappily, "What's wrong with being dead? The living always worry about the day they die. Even if you die of old age, you only live for a few dozen years. I'm dead, but I can live for hundreds of years. Ah Ying, why don't you die too? Keep me company?"

Ying Ji ignored Jian Feng's nonsense. She looked down at the scratch on her hand and counted the days. She estimated that Kong Fan should have come out of retreat by now.

"Hao Qing Falcon!" Jian Feng suddenly shouted.

Yingji immediately looked up in the direction he was looking and saw a pitch-black Haoqing falcon flying towards the west.

"Chase!" Yingji put away her scimitar and trotted after him.

The three of them chased after it, and the longer they pursued, the more cautious they became. After all, Haoqing falcons always flocked together, and this lone Haoqing falcon was probably going to fly back to its nest.

"We can't wait for it to return to its nest." Ying Ji took out the talisman she had written in advance from her Qiankun bag and threw it towards the Haoqing Falcon in the sky.

Unfortunately, she had no spiritual power, and the Haoqing Falcon flew so high that it fell down before the talisman paper even touched it.

Yingji's eyes dimmed, but she was not discouraged. Instead, she quickly thought of other ways to catch Hao Qing Falcon.

"Give me a talisman!" Jianfeng said immediately.

Yingji didn't understand why, but she still gave him one as she was told.

Jianfeng leaped up, drew his bow, and shot an arrow, attaching the talisman Yingji had handed him to the tip of the arrow. He narrowed one eye and shot towards the Haoqing Falcon in the sky!

With a loud bang, the lone Haoqing Falcon shook its black feathers and struggled violently. Shot by an arrow and trapped by a spell, it struggled mightily but could not help but fall.

Yingji and Jianfeng smiled at each other.

The two people went in the direction where the Haoqing Falcon fell, but then stopped at the same time.

"Oh no!" Jianfeng opened his mouth wide.

Most of the blue sky was gradually covered by black, and dense swarms of Haoqing falcons flew towards this side.

"Run!" Yingji turned around and ran.

Jianfeng and Bajiao also came to their senses and turned around in fear to run for their lives.

Each of these strange birds that were infected with Hao Qingyuan's evil spirit was terrifying, let alone when there were thousands and thousands of them swooping down!

The sky above gradually darkened, and a strong sense of hostility rolled in from behind like a tide.

Ying Ji hesitated for a moment, deliberately letting the Haoqing Falcons flying in the front get closer, and then she hurriedly said, "Hold on to me!"

When Jianfeng and Bajiao grabbed her wrists at the same time, Yingji crushed the isolation barrier at the moment Haoqing Falcon swooped down.

With a loud bang, a white barrier exploded, instantly enveloping the three people. At the same time, it also enveloped a dozen nearby Haoqing falcons.

A dozen Haoqing falcons attacked the three frantically. Yingji quickly threw talismans, Jianfeng fired arrows, and Bajiao displayed the brute strength of a tiger to meet the enemy.

Yingji could have opened the barrier earlier and driven all the Haoqing falcons out, but she wanted the Haoqing falcons, so she took the risk and deliberately let a few in.

Gradually, more than a dozen Hao Qing falcons were wiped out, and the three men were nearly exhausted. Seeing a Hao Qing falcon charging towards Ying Ji, Jian Feng suddenly leaped forward to protect Ying Ji, allowing the Hao Qing falcon's sharp beak to pierce his back.

Basho turned around and pounced, swatting Haoqing Falcon away.

Ying Ji's face darkened and she quickly took out a whistle and blew it. An eagle ghost with empty eyes jumped out of the jade coffin and pounced towards Hao Qing Falcon.

Jian Feng looked at the eagle, which showed no pain and didn't retreat, in disbelief and wondered, "Is it dead?"

Yingji ignored Jianfeng. She looked up at the top of the barrier. Countless Haoqing falcons slammed into and pecked at the barrier. Outside the barrier, a dense mass of trapped Haoqing falcons filled the air. The barrier, originally white, was now blackened by the Haoqing falcons.

Yingji frowned, feeling troubled. She wondered how long these Haoqing falcons would remain outside the barrier. For now, she hoped they would disperse once they realized they couldn't break through it.

But there is another important matter at the moment - the Haoqing Falcon is poisonous, and the poison has now penetrated into Jianfeng's body through his wound.

Yingji quickly took out medicine from her Qiankun bag to treat him.

Yingji's face was gloomy. It seemed that her medicine couldn't save Jianfeng. He wasn't alive, he was dead...

She complained angrily: "Why are you shielding me? I am poisoned, I can heal myself. But how can I heal you if you are poisoned? I can't heal ghosts!"

Jianfeng grimaced in pain, forcing out a smile uglier than crying, and said, "If you die, I won't be able to pass through the ghost market!"

Kong Fan finished his training, opened his eyes, felt the spiritual power filling his body, let out a long sigh, and smiled slightly.

He stood up, and the green leaves of the Bodhi tree rustled gently. Kongfan walked to the Bodhi tree and took down a piece of paper stuck on the trunk.

"I'm going to Haoqingyuan to collect herbs and will be back as soon as possible."

Yingji left him this message, and behind this message, there was a red lip print.

Kong Fan looked at the lip print and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He reached out and gently stroked the lip print on the paper. His fingertips felt soft, as if he was not touching the paper, but gently stroking Yingji's lips.

Kong Fan explained some things in Pujia Temple and then set off for Haoqingyuan.

He felt no pain, knowing Yingji was safe. He shouldn't have worried too much, but Kong Fan calculated the days and knew the poison from the Hehuan Yueqing Water in Yingji's body would break out in the next two days. It was already gathering inside her, making her feel uncomfortable.

He had to get to her as soon as possible.

Kong Fan frowned worriedly, and once again felt a little guilty. It was really wrong to keep putting off finding an antidote for her.

He secretly made up his mind that he must not delay any longer this time. He must put aside all other things and remove the poison from Yingji's body first.

Haoqingyuan is in a state of desolation. The green plants that should be lush and green elsewhere are now withered and yellow.

The thick, hostile aura had a bad smell, and this kind of hostility was contrary to Buddhism. Kong Fan felt very uncomfortable as he passed through Hao Qingyuan's hostile aura.

Worried about the poison in Yingji's body, Kong Fan didn't want to waste any more time. He stopped and closed his eyes, trying to sense where Yingji was.

He clearly felt Yingji's breath, but her breath was so weak, as if it was very far away.

"Strange..." Kong Fan felt anxious and immediately followed Ying Ji's scent to find her.

It was not until he saw the isolation barrier densely surrounded by Hao Qing Falcons that Kong Fan suddenly realized that it was because of this barrier that Ying Ji's breath became weak.

Kong Fan chanted a spell, and suddenly a long bell rang out. The Haoqing falcons, which had been constantly ramming and pecking at the barrier, suddenly stopped.

Kong Fan raised his hand again, and the Zen staff appeared out of thin air, landing steadily in front of the isolation barrier. It swayed gently with the sound of bells in the distance, and the earth vibrated slightly, and the dust on the ground flew up.

In just a moment, all the Haoqing falcons fled back to their nests in panic like frightened birds.

"Yingji?" Kong Fan walked to the barrier and put away his Zen staff.

Twisted lines appeared on the barrier, and then a door opened. Yingji ran out of the barrier and excitedly ran to Kongfan, saying happily, "You're finally here! We've been trapped in the barrier for almost three days!"

Kong Fan looked at the smile on Yingji's face, but slowly frowned.

Because... he couldn't feel her poison.

"That's right! Hurry and save Jianfeng!" Yingji anxiously grabbed Kongfan's hand and pulled him inside. "He's not a physical body. I don't have spiritual power and there's no way I can save him!"

Kong Fan frowned and looked at Ying Ji.

He suddenly realized that Yingji was fine, which meant she must have been cured of the poison. Walking into the isolation barrier, Kong Fan was stunned to see Jianfeng with his shirt off.

Yingji asked Jianfeng to help her detoxify?

Staring at Jianfeng, whose face was dark and unconscious, Kong Fan's eyes changed slightly.

"Kong Fan?" Ying Ji urged anxiously, "Hurry up and save him!"

Kong Fan came back to his senses and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly walked to Jian Feng, turned his light body over, and checked the injury on his back.

Kong Fan stretched out his hand and sent the gentle spiritual power with golden light into Jianfeng's body through the wound on his back.

Yingji and Bajiao came over and looked at Jianfeng with concern.

After sending enough spiritual energy into Jian Feng's body, Kong Fan turned Jian Feng's body over. Kong Fan used spiritual energy to forcefully draw a line on his palm, and blood gushed out.

He pried open Jianfeng's mouth, let his blood flow into Jianfeng's mouth, and fed him.

"His lips are no longer black!" Basho exclaimed.

Ying Ji breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Fortunately Kong Fan arrived in time, otherwise he would have really died."

Kong Fan withdrew his hand and hid his slightly trembling hand behind his back.

At that moment, he didn't want to save Jianfeng.

One day, he actually had such an evil thought. Even for a moment, he could not forgive himself.
