Chapter 71

After exchanging the communication jade seal, Jun Bushu said, "By the way, I haven't asked your names yet."

Their meeting was quite interesting; they sat down and finished their work before they remembered to ask for the name. However, because Jun Bushu was too straightforward, neither party felt that there was a problem with the process.

Chu Jinglan: "Chu Jinglan."

Xiao Mo is naturally a pseudonym: "Mo Lan."

Jun Bushu nodded: "I wonder where you two are going next. We are going to Diezhou. If it's on your way...ah, I don't mean anything else. It's just that I feel the air is lighter when I'm with you two."

Are they going to Diezhou too?

Xiao Mo and Chu Jinglan looked at each other, and Xiao Mo raised his eyebrows: "Are you guys going to Caidie Town too?"

Jun Bushu understood what Xiao Mo meant when he heard this. He put his hands in his sleeves and sighed, "It seems that our meeting is indeed the arrangement of fate."

If it was just meeting Jun Bushu, it wouldn't be a big deal, but with Su Baimo, this fate doesn't sound so good. Xiao Mo sighed and said, "Let's just take our own flying boats."

Jun Bushu found that Xiao Mo could completely control Chu Jinglan. His meaning was Chu Jinglan's meaning. Others had said so, and Jun Bushu could not just ignore his junior brothers from Lingxiao Sect. He could only go the same way but not on the same ride.

But after arriving at Caidie Town, they were able to walk together for a while. You know, he had been very worried about his own divination recently, and his tense nerves had not relaxed for a long time. Although he vomited blood again today and almost died, there is always a way out, and he felt much better.

While they were talking inside, the four people outside didn't say much.

It was obvious that the Jindan disciple of the Lingxiao Sect had a flammable and explosive temper and could not stand provocation. The unpleasant conversation between Su Baimo and Xiao Mo also left Yue Ming and Xitie with nothing to say to him. The four of them sat in clear separation, and their formations were visible to the naked eye.

The Lingxiao Sect belongs to the Immortal Alliance, and the Yingyue Sect belongs to the Six Yunduan Sects. Although there are rivalries and comparisons between the two major forces, there is also cooperation. Although they often compete with each other when they meet, they have never torn their faces. After the monks of both sides meet, as long as there is no fight for treasure, they are still polite.

Not as awkward as it is now.

The Jindan disciple was still comforting Su Baimo: "Don't be unhappy, it's not your problem, it's others who don't understand you."

Su Baimo pursed her lips and nodded.

Yue Ming didn't say anything at first, but the Jindan disciple said a lot, the core idea was to push the pot away, he finally couldn't help but speak: "Don't talk as if we bullied him, who are you scolding in a roundabout way, comforting people is comforting, we are still here, it's us who are almost named, right?"

The disciple gave him a sidelong glance with a very bad temper, but Jun Bushu was there at the moment, and the most capable person in the Lingxiao Sect's team was not there. He, a Jindan, was facing a Yuanying period person alone, so no matter how bad his temper was, he had to restrain himself a little.

And this time Senior Brother Jun didn't do much to support them, which made them feel even more aggrieved.

The confidence that the Jindan disciples have to speak in front of these people comes from the Lingxiao Sect behind them.

After the conversation inside ended, the three of them came out. Jun Bushu wanted to treat them to a meal and apologize for the recklessness of his Jindan disciple in the auction house, but Xiao Mo declined. It was implicit that Chu Jinglan was the leader of the Yingyue Sect's trip, and Chu Jinglan obeyed Xiao Mo.

After declining Jun Bushu's invitation, Chu Jinglan paid for a table of food and ate by themselves after the Lingxiao Sect members left.

The table was full of spiritual food. Yueming and Xitie were not polite. While eating, they heard that people from Lingxiao Sect were also going to Caidie Town. Xitie looked worried: "Are they also going to look for Die Jiyu?"

There are many butterfly habitats in Diezhou, some of which are very famous, but some have not yet been discovered. Caidie Town is a small town with a small population, and no major group has paid attention to it before. Xi Tie's master received news that an unrecorded butterfly habitat seemed to be discovered near Caidie Town, so Xi Tie came here to try his luck.

Xiao Mo shook his head: "I don't know."

Yue Ming: "Since your master got the news, other sects may also know about it. Who cares? We'll see how capable we are when we get something good. Among them, Jun Bu Shu is the strongest, but he's not strong enough to tell fortunes, so he's definitely not going to be able to beat us."

Chu Jinglan thought about the several times he met Su Baimo, good things happened to him every time. He kept silent and prepared to see if it would work this time too.

If they meet again...is this luck his and Xiao Mo's, or Su Baimo's?

A few people were eating when the waiter came over with several people carrying food boxes.

Yue Ming thought he had sent the wrong food. It looked like the food was for 20 to 30 people. He was about to speak when he saw the waiter leaning over and saying to Chu Jinglan, "Sir, the spiritual food you asked for has fresh-keeping runes on the food boxes. Please take a look."

The waiter asked people to open the food boxes one by one, and saw that there were not only snacks and dried fruits, but also main dishes:

The steamed cod fish meat, which is the most essential part, is also on their table. It melts in your mouth and is extremely delicious. The sea gull meat fried in honey is golden and makes your mouth water. And each of them has a large plate of sea clam monsters, which have extremely tender and smooth meat. They have garlic, spicy, steamed, etc., and every flavor is available.

Not only that, Chu Jinglan also ordered all the fresh and sweet seafood that can only be found in areas near the Bohai Sea.

Yueming and Xitie were stunned.

Yue Ming was really not greedy before, mainly because the people around him were all fasting, so who would have the time to go to the disciples' restaurant? There was no one eating around, so naturally he had no worldly desires. But after following Chu Jinglan out, he had been satiated by the smell of food on the flying boat for the past few days, and he suspected that this person was trying to use delicious food to ruin his Taoism.

Yue Mingyi said righteously: "Why buy so much? We monks should not indulge in the desire of food."

Even Xiao Mo and Xitie who haven't practiced fasting can take the fasting pills. How convenient!

Chu Jinglan glanced at him calmly: "I know you don't want to eat."

Yue Ming was still holding a bowl of unfinished Siren soup, or seafood soup, in his hand. The fragrance filled his nose. This was the second bowl he had filled. The evidence of the crime was still there, so he suddenly lost his tough tone. He coughed dryly and said, "Actually, it's not..."

"It's not prepared for you." Chu Jinglan said, "It's a snack for Mo Lan."

Yueming: “…”

Xiao Mo was looking at the things in the lunch box. Hearing this, he turned his head and smiled at Yue Ming.

Yue Ming angrily drank the soup in the bowl and slammed the bowl on the table. It was just food, if he didn’t want to eat it then he wouldn’t eat it. For the rest of his journey, he would rather jump off the flying boat than eat a single bite of their food!

But not long after the flying boat set off again, when Xiao Mo and Chu Jinglan put food on the table and invited Xitie to eat together, Yue Ming still came and sat down dejectedly.

Damn, it smells so good.

Well, it’s okay. I’ll just jump off the flying boat when we reach the destination. It won’t count as breaking my promise, he thought as he smelled the delicious smell.

But Chu Jinglan is too good to Xiao Mo. Who is his fiancée?

Xitie's flying boat and Lingxiao Sect's flying boat had nothing to do with each other. A few days later, they arrived at Caidie Town. The two groups got off the flying boat outside Caidie Town. As soon as they landed, everyone frowned.

...something is not right.

It was too quiet outside Caidie Town. Standing at the town entrance and looking inside, there was not a single person on the road. Several Yuanying-stage cultivators swept the ceremonial gate pillars at the town entrance and silently offered up their magic weapons.

Xitie thought Xiao Mo was laying the foundation, so he asked his puppet to stand next to Xiao Mo. Xiao Mo blinked and said to Xitie, "Thank you."

Xitie shook his head hurriedly and said that since we all came out together, there was no need to be so polite.

Chu Jinglan and Yue Ming took the lead and were the first to pass through the ceremony gate. The moment they stepped through the ceremony gate, a golden formation suddenly lit up, and several talismans flew towards them. Jun Bushu, who was walking behind the two of them, flicked his fingers and easily dissolved the talismans.

Because it was so easy, he uttered a light "huh" sound.

A man jumped down from the sky, shouted and chopped down with his sword. Yue Ming was about to move his sword when Chu Jinglan said in surprise, "Wait."

The man who was swinging the sword was also stunned after seeing Chu Jinglan's face clearly, and hastily withdrew his hand. Chu Jinglan leaned to the side, and the swordsman took advantage of the momentum to roll twice on the ground, and immediately jumped up, extremely happy: "Master, Senior Brother!"

Xiao Mo heard a familiar voice, walked forward and took a look. Who else could the person wielding the knife be but Mo Zhi?

When Mo Zhi saw Xiao Mo, he almost rushed over: "Senior Brother Mo!"

Mo Zhi is now ten years old, tall and slender, and has become a teenager. When he saw Chu Jinglan and Xiao Mo, his eyes turned red and he looked like he was about to cry. This kind of look is the expression of a child who has been wronged outside and sees his parents appear out of nowhere.

Xiao Mo patted his head: "What's wrong? Are you wronged?"

Mo Zhi wiped his eyes and was about to say something when two people rushed out of the house in the town. One of them lacked the usual mature demeanor, and the other was a girl with a red nose.

Spring and early summer.

Chu Xia threw herself into Xiao Mo's arms and burst into tears: "Senior Brother Mo, our senior brother in our academy, he, wow wow wow wow!"

The little girl was crying inconsolably. Xiao Mo held the small cleansing ball and wiped her tears. Chu Jinglan looked at Yan Chun and asked him to explain.

The others also saw that the three of them were wearing the clothes of Lin'an Academy. Since they were acquaintances of Chu Jinglan and Xiao Mo, they did not rush to ask about their identities. The first priority was to understand what had happened.

Yan Chun was indeed the most reliable one. While choking up, he explained the whole matter clearly.

It turned out that they were out for training, and the academy had not yet received the news that there was a butterfly habitat near Caidie Town. A senior brother Yuanying brought a bunch of young Qi-training radishes, and of course only looked for simple jobs. He happened to pass by this place, thinking of drawing talismans for the townspeople to exorcise evil spirits and treat their illnesses. Unexpectedly, he was so unlucky that he ran into a demon cultivator.

He hit three of them in one breath.

"Those three people should be triplets, and their skills are very strange. Senior brother tried his best to lead them out of the town," Yan Chun wiped his eyes, "We asked the townspeople to run away quickly, and also sent a message to the seniors in the nearest academy, but they were all far away and couldn't come directly."

Mo Zhi tightened his grip on the knife in his hand: "We want to wait for our brother here."

Chu Jinglan asked: "How long has it been since he and the demon cultivator left?"

Yan Chun: "It's been a full half day. My brother is in the middle stage of Yuanying, and he said that the three were in the early stage of Yuanying. But their skills are too strange. I, I saw from a distance that my brother seemed to be dragged into the black mist and was suppressed by them."

If he is really suppressed and more than half a day has passed, I am afraid that he will be in danger.

Everyone had a plan in mind, but they didn't say it out loud. Yueming raised his sword and asked, "Little friend, which direction did they go?"

Yan Chun raised his hand and was about to point out the direction, but Jun Bushu sensed something and raised his head abruptly: "Be careful!"

As soon as the words fell, a black fog suddenly fell from the sky, and in the fog, three overlapping and illusory laughs echoed one after another: "Are you looking for us? Here we come, hahaha!"

A large amount of black mist was spinning at high speed, like an upside-down bowl, trapping them all in it. Mixed in the black mist were dark and numb human faces, with empty and numb eyes and mouths, whispering like ghosts. The real devil's sound pierced their ears, making people dizzy and unable to find peace.

The "upside-down bowl" kept spinning, and three demon cultivators emerged from it. They really looked exactly the same, and even their voices were extremely similar.

"Hey, someone else is here, that's great."

"There are so many people. Suck them dry. We can make a lot of puppets!"

"Some of them look very strong, but they are still powerless under our formation!"

The three of them laughed strangely, but amid their laughter, discordant flute sounds were soon heard... flute sounds?

The triplets of demon cultivators turned their heads abruptly and saw the owner of the flute sound - Xiao Mo.

Seeing that he had attracted their attention, Xiao Mo took the flute away from his lips and took a step back. He seemed very scared, but because he was worried about his companions, he did not dare to leave.

The triplets saw her weak posture.

The triplets spoke at the same time:

"It's strange that he didn't go in."

"He must have some special magic weapon on him."

"But it doesn't matter. He's just building a foundation. Killing him is easy."

The three of them said in unison: "Go!"

They jumped up at the same time and left the black mist. The three of them were determined to succeed, as if they had already seen the blood spurting out and the beautiful expression of despair when the little insect was crushed. They grinned, and even the curvature of their smiles was exactly the same, eerie and ugly.

The demon cultivators swooped down from the sky, and just when they were about to hit Xiao Mo, suddenly, four walls rose from the ground, and then a lid suddenly fell down, swallowing the three of them.

The three of them had no time to react and were swallowed up.

In their eyes, the fear on Xiao Zhuji's face disappeared and was replaced by indifference.

Huanyuexin's second illusion, trapped.

As if no one would be troubled.

Xiao Mo trapped the demon cultivator and quickly walked to the edge of the black mist, shouting in his mind: "System!"

"Scanning completed, analysis completed!"

The system is on call: "The strange trap formed by the magic energy and the forcibly extracted thoughts will erode the consciousness of the people in the trap and absorb their spiritual power and mental strength. There are three ways to solve it. Now I will provide you with the one that can be executed immediately and is the safest."

"The formation can only be broken if the people inside and outside the formation gather their consciousness and spiritual power, focus on one point, and attack at the same time. Host, the consciousness strength of you and Chu Jinglan meets the requirements."

Xiao Mo: “Okay.”

Just now, the moment Xiao Mo noticed that the black mist was shrinking and compressing the space, he dodged outside the black mist to prevent such a situation from happening. After all, if he was outside, he could rush back to Chu Jinglan at any time, but if he was covered in it and needed to get out, it would be troublesome.

It's not that it's a problem to turn into a spirit and come out directly, but he has to find a way to explain to others how he can suddenly disappear and then reappear outside.

The situation just now was very sudden. Except for Chu Jinglan, no one else's attention was on Xiao Mo, and no one saw his movements. Afterwards, it could be explained that the magic spell just happened to skip over Chu Jinglan.

Anyway, there is no evidence and no one saw it.

Xiao Mo transmitted a voice in his sea of ​​consciousness: "Chu Jinglan!"

On the other side of the sea of ​​consciousness, after a moment, Chu Jinglan's low voice came: "Hmm."

"We have found a way to break the formation. You and I will work together from the inside and outside, condense our consciousness and spiritual power, and attack one place at the same time."

The upside-down bowl is a combination of demonic energy and thoughts. A spiritual attack would be very effective. As for how to ensure that they attack the same place... Xiao Mo raised his hand and pressed on the black mist: "You know where I am."

The inner demon can sense the true body at any time, but the true body cannot sense the inner demon at any time. This was proven as early as when they were separated when they entered the secret realm of Dusk Mountain in the lower world. But the difference now is that they have the Dao Couple Seal.

A Youye Tandao seal appeared on Chu Jinglan's forehead. He raised his hand and pressed it precisely on Xiao Mo's palm through a layer of black mist. If there had been no black mist blocking their way, their palms would have been touching each other with their fingers intertwined.

The Taoist couple seal on Xiao Mo's forehead responded, and the red lotus pattern also emerged and blossomed, echoing the other flower in the distance.

Chu Jinglan: "You are here."

They always find each other.

Xiao Mo: "I'll count to three, two, one."

"three,"

Chu Jinglan has begun to accumulate strength.

A large amount of spiritual power and divine power were gathered in the palms of the two people at the same time. The ghost face on the black mist sensed something, and a panic expression appeared on its numb face. It howled violently. If we have to use a specific description, it is more lethal than Xiao Mo's flute at that time.

The degree of horror is evident from this.

A dark red light appeared on Xiao Mo's palm: "Two——"

Chu Jinglan gritted his teeth in the formation, and the bright white light illuminated the darkness in front of him.

Xiao Mo: “One!”

The two of them shouted at the same time. The terrified faces on the black mist twisted and struggled. Faces began to cry. The attacks in the formation suddenly intensified, trying to devour Chu Jinglan completely. But Chu Jinglan did not even blink, and continued to press down suddenly——

“Click.”

After a very slight shattering sound, the ghost faces instantly froze in place like ice, and soon, they uttered their final wails amid a huge explosion.

The upside-down bowl broke into pieces with a crackling sound. After pieces of evil spirits fell off, the light from outside shone into the eyes of the trapped people again. In Chu Jinglan's eyes, there was also Xiao Mo's face.

So close.

The hands of the two were just a little bit apart and almost touching, but before they touched, Xiao Mo put his hand down.

He heaved a sigh of relief: "It's good to be out."

Chu Jinglan also withdrew his hand, stood beside Xiao Mo, and looked around.

Yue Ming and Jun Bushu immediately jumped out with the rest of the people. Some of their energy was devoured in there, and although it was only for a short time, they felt very uncomfortable and dizzy. Yue Ming's body swayed when he landed on the ground. He cursed inwardly, raised his head and raised his sword, wanting to chop the three demon cultivators into meat paste.

But when I looked over, I couldn't find the demon cultivator. I only saw a square box not far away... a house?

Yue Ming turned his head to look at Chu Jinglan and Xiao Mo. Just now, Chu Jinglan suddenly said that he had found a way to break the formation. He would ask Xiao Mo outside to cooperate. All of them were framed in, except Xiao Mo. This was very strange.

But even if we want to make a plan, we have to wait until the demon cultivator is completely safe.

But when he turned his head, not only he, but everyone else was also stunned.

Because marks appeared between Xiao Mo and Chu Jinglan's foreheads one after another, and judging from the fluctuations of spiritual power, they were clearly a pair of - Taoist Couple Seals.

Yueming and Xitie, as members of the Yingyue Sect, were stunned.

After all, their Yingyue Sect has an indelible love story. Back then, it was between the Moon Lord and the demons, and now, it is between his descendants and the demons.

...Could the Moon Lord's lineage be under some kind of curse? It is said that it is difficult for sword practitioners to escape from the curse, so how come it was so easy for them to escape and fall to the demons?

Yue Ming almost saw the older generation of the clan fighting for the land with their heads raised.

But the elders were not here, Yueming was the first to exclaim on their behalf: "So you two are a Taoist couple!?"
