Outside the Xuanjing, the place was in an uproar.

"It's incredible! Just relying on a little girl, she actually made the people from the other two sects run around in circles. This reversal is really exciting!"

"Now Haoran Sect and Neon Island are seriously injured. Ningning not only took away the precious spiritual plants, but also looted Neon Island's luggage. Even if others are very angry, they can't do anything to her with her current wounds and damaged cultivation." "Now

she sits on the mountain and watches the tigers fight. I don't know how happy she is, haha!"

Liuming Mountain's head He Xiaochen laughed loudly: "She is worthy of being the disciple of Elder Tianxian! This is an unconventional approach, There was really a little charm of her master.

Hey smiled: "Look at your apprentice's silly person, can he be able to think of the enemy's rebellion?" The woman's mouth pumped: "Tian Xianzi , better than a sword !" Tian Xianzi hid behind Zhenxiao: "Brother, she is fierce!"

Zhenxiao

ignored him, and the indifferent eyebrows swept the mirror cold. Attacking the corner, If others are not convinced, just draw your sword and make them convinced." He Xiaochen understood the temper of this old friend and shook his head and retorted: "That's you. Ningning is a little girl, with wolves in front and tigers behind. Even if she is extremely talented, she can't defeat the combined forces of Haoran Sect and Neon Island." Someone echoed with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that Zhenxiao Sword Master is the first person in the world to achieve unity of sword and heart. Today I see that it is true. In front of the sword skills that overwhelm the heroes, all the schemes are vulnerable." Zhenxiao was silent for a moment. Zhenxiao: "No. It's just that if the battle of wits is too fierce, I can't understand it." After a pause, he turned his head and looked at Tianxianzi behind him: "Junior brother, what did Ningning do just now? Please explain it to me briefly." I almost forgot that this unparalleled Zhenxiao Sword Master doesn't seem to have a very high intelligence level. I heard that the reason why he practiced swordsmanship so hard was because he failed the exam in the school. From then on, he understood a truth: he didn't look stupid, but he was really stupid. For ugly people, a closer look is a kind of cruelty; and for stupid people, letting him pass the exam is a kind of murder. Everyone thinks that Zhenxiao Sword Master is cold and ruthless, responds to changes with swords, and will never say a word if he can avoid talking. Only a few fellow apprentices who were close to him knew that this person was just bad at talking and couldn't think straight, so he just fought whenever he had trouble. This way, he would never suffer any loss. "What's wrong with intrigue? Little white flowers are boring, but it's more fun to eat something with thorns." A female cultivator in white pursed her lips and chuckled. As soon as she spoke, several men looked at her sideways. She was extremely beautiful, like an untouchable immortal in the sky. Her long black hair was casually tied behind her, with a few strands running across her flawless face like white porcelain, falling on her smooth and slender neck. Occasionally, it moved slightly with the movement of her body, brushing against the tender flesh under her neck that made people imagine endlessly. This female cultivator had almond eyes like stars and cherry lips that were red without any makeup. At first glance, she looked pure and elegant, like a beautiful jade shining with light, not like someone from the mundane world. However, when she smiled, her whole face suddenly became full of charm, and the fairy turned into a soul-stirring enchantress. This person was the owner of Neon Light Island, Qu Feiqing. Tianxianzi glanced at her: "Why? It seems that the island master likes my little disciple very much?" "Not only likes him." Qu Feiqing covered her lips and laughed softly. With just a slight bend of her eyes, spring water would enter her eyes and her clear eyes would flow: "I've seen many people deceive others on the Neon Island and be used in return, but this is the first time. Ningning is really interesting. If Elder Tianxian is willing, why not send her to the island as a guest for a few days and let me serve her personally." If Ningning was served by this person personally, wouldn't she become a dried corpse when she came back? No, even whether she could come back alive was a very serious question. Tian Xianzi was frightened by her proposal and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, Ningning is still young, please help me, the island master, and use your great mercy to nourish other lands." Qu Feiqing snorted coldly, but still had a determined smile on her lips, but changed the subject: "After this incident, I'm afraid that the disciples of my Niguan Island and Haoran Sect will be sad for a long time." Rong Ci is the most talented disciple she has met in recent years, and it is inevitable that he has developed a proud and arrogant temperament. His strategies have almost never failed, and he is even better at playing with people's hearts. Unexpectedly, he met a master who did not follow the usual path this time. Not only did he see his purpose clearly, but he also played a counter-espionage plan, making Rong Ci a tool to be used. In the conversation between him and Ningning in the cave, it seemed that Rongci had all the initiative, step by step guiding the little girl into his gentle state, revealing the secret under guilt and sympathy. But the result was that Ningning turned from passive to active. At first glance, she seemed to be led by the nose, but in fact, she was the one who controlled the situation secretly. Even Rongci's strategy was within her plan. He deliberately got injured to get close to Ningning. When the child knew the truth, she would be furious. The elegant female cultivator smiled more deeply, looking at the face of the girl in the mysterious mirror, with a deep expectation in her eyes. ===== Ningning had no idea what the elders outside the mysterious mirror thought. What she was concerned about at this moment was where the three of them should go next. Although she claimed that she wanted to get all the wool, she was not a crazy devil after all. After going to the cave where Neon Island was stationed, she only took a few herbs for detoxification. After He Zhizhou and Xu Ye took the herbs, their crazy and confused states finally improved a lot. Thinking of the various plots of swimming to immortality and giving birth to children, the two sword masters looked at each other in silence, with only tears in their eyes. Of course, they would not return to the previous cave. After some discussion, the three decided to go to the ancient forest on the top of the mountain to see if they could try their luck and find some precious spiritual plants that were very old. “Gumulinhai, just by listening to the name, you know it must be a very mysterious place.” He Zhizhou held the unfinished grilled fish and grilled eel in his hands, and said mysteriously: “I heard that the frequency of spiritual plant mines above the heavenly level there is particularly high. It is well-deserved to be a legendary mobile game with a super high explosion rate. One sword can explode 999 golden weapons. It is a paradise for gold-making with cool equipment. You can still bully the local tyrants without recharging.” This guy thinks Gumulinhai is a greedy game of Blue Moon.

Xu Ye didn't understand what he meant. He just thought that this man hadn't recovered from the mushroom poisoning. He glanced at the eel in his hand and frowned: "Last time it was poisonous mushrooms, this time it's this smooth thing again. Can you eat something normal?"

"What do you know? This is called don't stew eels because they are small, and eat the best eels from beginning to end. What a good meaning! Eating it will bring good luck. It's not like grilled fish. When I see it, I think of the classic saying, 'A strange light flashed in the fish's eyes.'"

He Zhizhou shook his head and talked nonsense: "You are still blanching me, aren't you also poisoned by mushrooms?"

"I, I didn't eat the poisonous mushrooms you cooked!"

Xu Ye blushed immediately: "I was poisoned after eating a rabbit that was poisoned by poisonous mushrooms, it doesn't count as eating random things!"

He Zhizhou made a pause gesture: "Friend, no nesting dolls."

So Xu Ye stopped talking.

The oiran brother of Xuanxu Sword Sect who was bullied and cried by a seven-year-old monk is indeed not a normal person as his reputation says.

"By the way! I have something I must tell you."

He Zhizhou seemed to remember something suddenly and swallowed the last bite of grilled fish: "Aren't we going to fly with the sword to the ancient wood forest later?"

He smiled embarrassedly: "Well, that one, actually I'm afraid of heights."

=====

"Ahhhhhhhh I'm dead! Jade Emperor, Guanyin, Zeus, Athena, Jesus Christ!"

He Zhizhou's screams were like the cry of monkeys on both sides of the strait, and the high speed turned into the sound of dolphins: "Rich, democratic, civilized and harmonious! Mom, save me! Hallelujah!"

Xu Ye was annoyed: "Shut up!"

How could a cultivator be afraid of heights, not to mention that he is a sword cultivator! Could it be that this person has never tried to fly with the sword since he was a child! It is a shame for sword cultivators!

"It's not that I can't wield a sword, but you know, every time I stand in the sky, I feel dizzy and want to cry, and I will die in the next second."

He Zhizhou hugged a tree like a koala, and climbed tightly behind him: "Ningning, tell me a few jokes to distract me, please!"

Ningning stood on the Xinghen Sword and was amused by him: "I don't know how to tell jokes, why not ask the great talent He to recite a few poems."

"Recite, recite poetry."

He Zhizhou shivered, not daring to close his eyes, his mind was a mess: "Beauty rolled up the pearl curtain, and all the people on the path were gone... I and the master took off our battle robes, and spent the spring night in the warm lotus tent. A spring night is worth a thousand gold, and I know that this must be done personally..."

Xu Ye's figure shook violently. As a pure boy who grew up under the light of righteousness, his ears blushed in a very unpromising way: "He Zhizhou, shut up!"

Amid He Zhizhou's crying and Xu Ye's cursing, the three finally arrived at their destination, the ancient forest sea.

The ancient forest sea is located at the top of Xiaochong Mountain. It is said that it was born by absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, and it is a well-deserved place where spiritual energy gathers.

It was already night, towering trees pierced the vast sky, and the lush leaves were dense and dense, and the moonlight stained them with a cold white color.

Looking around, there were vigorous and tall ancient trees everywhere, and the tangled roots were like the wrinkles of an old man, which showed a sense of solemnity for no reason.

The leaves almost blocked the moonlight, but fortunately there were many glowing spiritual plants growing in the forest.

Moonflowers were like stars dotting the grass, emitting a pale white glow; the emerald grass was like numerous pale blue lanterns, quietly hanging on the treetops; the leaves of some unknown trees were also shining, and at first glance, it seemed as if the trees were inlaid with emeralds.

Ningning was a young girl after all, and it was her first time seeing such a scene. She looked around with stars in her eyes, and occasionally lowered her head to touch the moonflowers, and her slender fingers were illuminated as white as snow.

"If this place can be developed into a tourist attraction, Liuming Mountain will definitely make a fortune."

He Zhizhou has not yet recovered from the fear of the flying sword. He patted his chest with a lingering fear and his face turned pale: "I remember there are Moon White Stone, Ghost Crying Rock, Water Dragon Grass and Immortal Spring here. If you are lucky, you may encounter the rare level of Seven Treasures Glaze or Mahayana Buddha Grass."

Ningning looked at the map carefully and nodded thoughtfully.

Although Liuming Mountain gave everyone a map and the distribution of spiritual plants below the rare level, the markings were only approximate and did not indicate the specific location. Everyone needs to find it by themselves.

As for treasures of rare level and above, they are hard to come by. Even the host Liuming Mountain does not know where to encounter them, so they will not appear on the map at all.

Ancient Wood Forest is famous for its rich resources, so naturally there are many monks coming here.

Before, on the hillside, Ning Ning had not seen anyone except the medical cultivator, Yun Duanyue, and the Niguandao and Haoran Sect who came to cause trouble. Not long after arriving, she saw several men and women wearing different sect uniforms walking by.

One of them seemed to recognize He Zhizhou, chuckled, and then turned to whisper something to his companion, probably telling him about his glorious deeds.

"Everyone comes here for the treasures, but there are too many people and too little food."

Xu Ye calmly analyzed the situation: "The ancient wood forest is very large. We can continue to go deeper and choose places where there are few people. I heard that there is a ten-thousand-year-old dragon blood tree deep in the forest. Even if we don't gain anything, it will be an eye-opener to go and see it ."

"Xu Ye is so amazing."

Ning Ning blinked: "You seem to know everything. When you told us Rongci's identity before, you just said it without thinking too much."

Xu Ye curled his lips: "Of course I have to be fully prepared before coming."

Nonsense, he slowly uncovered one room after another, and he knew the identities, personalities, and strengths of almost all the disciples, and even knew roughly what they did on the night they came to Liuming Mountain.

Thinking of the scene he saw outside the guest room of Xuanxu Sword Sect that night, and looking at Ningning's innocent smile, Xu Ye felt very complicated.

How could such a good girl...

Alas.

"Strange."

A sigh filled his heart, and Xu Ye suddenly heard He Zhizhou's voice: "Do you think... there seems to be some strange sounds in the distance?" Strange

sounds?

The ancient wood forest is famous for its tranquility, elegance and rich resources. Xu Ye didn't think anything would happen in a peaceful forest, so he just raised his eyebrows lazily and listened attentively to the vague sounds coming from the sea of ​​trees.

It seemed to be the clattering footsteps of several people running, and the intertwined...

"Help" and "Run away"?

This thought was like a sharp sword piercing his mind, causing the spirit in the young swordsman to suddenly tense up.

At the same time, he heard Ning Ning hurriedly call out with disbelief and surprise: "Look at those trees!"

The trees in the distance that were emitting green light suddenly shook, and the green light surrounding the leaves instantly turned into a blood-like terrifying scarlet.

The rich and pure color was like a tide, rushing forward without slacking off. Wherever it went, the flowers, plants and trees were dyed into an extremely strange red, superimposed with the cold moonlight, which reminded people of a lifeless funeral hall.

The three of them were in such a position that they could not escape such a fate.

"What's going on?"

The scarlet color covered the entire forest like a black cage, and even the leaves seemed to be stained with blood. When they swayed gently in the wind, they looked like bony bones that had just climbed out of hell.

He Zhizhou was confused about the situation, so he looked up and saw two people running towards him.

"Hurry, run!"

The young man on the left was pale and panting, "Something happened in the forest!"

Xu Ye raised his voice, "Fellow Daoist, what happened?"

"Those trees, those trees seem to be alive... The whole ancient forest has gone crazy!"

The young man's expression changed as he spoke, and he pointed at Xu Ye and shouted, "Fellow Daoist, watch out behind you!"

Before he finished speaking, a vine as thick as a human arm suddenly rose into the air and rushed towards Xu Ye at lightning speed!

All the attention of the three was on the young man, and they turned around hurriedly when they heard his call. The vine was already close at hand, and there was no time to draw the sword or dodge. Xu Ye could only roughly perform a sword move and stab it hard.

Unexpectedly, the vine was unusually strong, and the sword move he made in an instant was not very powerful. After the lightning contact with the vine, it was bounced straight away and had no effect.

"Xu Ye!"

The sword move was bounced away, and Xu Ye was also hit far away by this amazing force. When he fell heavily to the ground, he made a terrifying muffled sound.

The vine still had the momentum to catch up. He Zhizhou saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly drew his sword and chopped the vine hard.

With this chop, most of the vines were finally cut off, but the remaining part not only had no intention of retreating, but seemed to be enraged, hanging in the air and shaking desperately.

Another flash of sword light flashed.

A vine attacked He Zhizhou's neck directly and was cut off by Ning Ning's sword.

"It's the same inside, inside... No, it's more terrifying inside than here!"

The young man was so flustered that his voice trembled, and he didn't even dare to run away. After everyone dealt with the vines that suddenly rose up, his expression eased a little: "You guys should run away too! Find a place with open terrain to fly with your sword, this place is not right!"

Ning Ning tightly grasped the Star Mark Sword in her hand, her eyes slightly gloomy.

Something was wrong... What was this plot about?

She remembered that in the novel she had read, Pei Ji should have come to the ancient forest tonight and unexpectedly found a treasure. His experience was so lucky that it was dull and boring. There was no description of this accident in the entire story.

- How could there be a plot that was completely different from the original?

Ning Ning calmed herself down, her heart pounding: "What caused the sudden change? Do you two have any idea?"

"The first thing that was wrong was the thousand-year-old dragon blood tree."

The female cultivator next to the young man was still in shock, her bloodless lips trembling: "It suddenly oozes bright red resin all over the ground, branches and vines suddenly rise up and attack a disciple of Xuanxu Sect, and then the whole forest... Ah! Gatekeeper, are you also from Xuanxu Sword Sect?"

A disciple of Xuanxu Sect.

Ningning's eyebrows twitched, and a strange feeling arose in her heart for no reason: "Sister, can you give me a general description of what that disciple looks like?"

"A tall and thin young man with a small mole at the corner of his eye. His black clothes are embroidered with the cloud pattern of the Xuanxu Sword Sect. He looks very handsome."

The woman and the young man looked at each other: "He should have acted alone, and his skills are very powerful. When the two of us fled, the young man was still fighting with the dragon blood tree, but it was a pity... he was outnumbered and seriously injured. Now he is probably exhausted and has little strength to fight back."

"No way."

He Zhizhou helped Xu Ye up from the ground, handed him a handkerchief to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and was stunned when he heard this: "The one in black clothes... could it be Pei Ji?"

No, it shouldn't be him.

Ning Ning bit her lip subconsciously. Tonight's Xiaochongshan should have been peaceful, and Pei Ji would not have any accidents.

In the original novel, as the protagonist, he had never encountered any life-threatening situations. Like all upgrade counterattack novels, he could always easily turn danger into safety. How could it be possible...

How could he be exhausted and seriously injured, especially in this plot that was never mentioned in the original novel.

"Everyone, please flee from here quickly. This forest is very strange, and we should not stay here for long."

The young man grabbed the woman's wrist and looked at the bloody forest behind him with lingering fear: "We two will take our leave first, take care."

"Take care!"

He Zhizhou said goodbye casually, sneaked up to Ning Ning, and looked curiously: "What is the plot of this part? Have you read the original novel? Can you tell me the spoilers? We should be fine, right?"

This is the strangest part.

Whether it is Pei Ji's hard fight or the changes in the ancient forest, the original novel does not mention it at all. She tried to call the system in her mind, but got no response.

Ning Ning glanced at Xu Ye, who was in so much pain that he could hardly move after being attacked, and then looked at He Zhizhou, who was confused, and took a breath softly: "Take Xu Ye and the sword away first, I want to go in and take a look."

The current situation was completely beyond her imagination. If she didn't go in to find out, Ning Ning would be worried.

The young man in danger mentioned by the female cultivator should be Pei Ji.

If this was a plot omitted in the original book, then she would have the aura of a vicious female supporting role, and no matter how she went into the depths of the forest, she would not die heroically;

if the current development exceeded the original plot...

Pei Ji was in danger of life and death, and there was no one to rely on. As a senior sister, she should also try to save him.

No matter what, there is a friendship between fellow disciples.

Moreover, if we think from a deeper level, if the male protagonist dies here, her suicidal mission will naturally fail halfway.

Even the premise for carrying out the mission no longer exists. When she is no longer useful, the system will definitely not keep her, and she will be dead.

Ning Ning didn't want to worry He Zhizhou. Seeing his confused expression, she chuckled and comforted him: "My mission is here again. Everything is done according to the original plan. I will be fine. You guys go first."

"Oh! Good luck to you!"

He Zhizhou smiled knowingly and nodded: "Xu Ye and I will wait for you at the place where we grilled fish before. Come back early!"

Ning Ning clenched the Star Mark Sword in her hand, her knuckles slightly white: "... Yeah."

=====

"You're in this state, and you still want to fly with the sword?"

He Zhizhou rejected Xu Ye's plan to try manned space flight, looked into his eyes and said righteously: "Although I am timid, for my friends, what does fear of heights matter? Xu Ye, your injuries are the most important, you don't have to worry about it at this time."

He looked serious, and for the first time he showed a serious and reliable look.

Xu Ye was thrown all over the place by the giant vine, and his internal organs were almost dislocated. He was in so much pain that he could hardly move. Hearing what he said, he gritted his teeth and forced a smile.

It seems that this man is still reliable at the critical moment.

So He Zhizhou went in front, and when Xu Ye stepped on the flying sword, he started to start shakily.

On one side were the extremely bizarre vines that could send people to heaven at any time, and on the other side were the safe and safe flying swords that could at most cause some mental damage. He Zhizhou chose the latter without hesitation.

Although he was not proficient, he still remembered the general steps of the swords. At this moment, the White Rainbow Sword was trembling like an old man in his seventies or eighties. After shaking for a long time, it finally moved forward a little.

Then a little bit more.

It was not easy.

He wanted the sword to fly, which was as sad as the Chinese nation standing up.

"I did it! Xu Ye, I did it!"

He Zhizhou's eyes were filled with tears: "Press the clutch to the bottom, and get the accelerator ready! Speed ​​up and overtake, 86 wins, 86 is the real car god of Akina Mountain!"

Xu Ye was probably in great pain and ignored him.

He Zhizhou's small flying sword was like a broken tricycle, slowly swinging forward. After swinging for a long time, he suddenly heard a burst of laughter.

In a blink of an eye, it was a Fu Xiu stepping on a dust whisk.

He Zhizhou saw that he was laughing so hard, and couldn't help asking curiously: "Friend, what are you laughing at?"

“Huh? You ask me?”

The man laughed so hard that his shoulders were shaking. He paused for a long time before speaking: “There’s a guy over there. He was probably flying in a rocket with his friend, but he was thrown off by a grunt. He was running and shouting while chasing, but his friend didn’t hear him at all and just staggered away. That guy’s expression - hahahaha, it’s so amazing, so sad, I want to laugh every time!”

He Zhizhou recalled the scene in his mind and laughed too: “That guy is not the most Funny, his friends are the funniest! That idiot probably thought he was staying behind, and they were brothers."

He took a breath and continued, "Do you think he would be so stupid as to talk to the air, not knowing that there is no one behind him, hahaha!"

Fu Xiu laughed so hard, "How unlucky I am to run into such a friend! That idiot probably disappeared just now! He is still talking to the air, he must have a hammer in his brain, hahaha!" Thinking about it

this way, it is quite unlucky.

He Zhizhou scratched his head, "Hey, Xu Ye, I think the person who was dumped is quite pitiful, why don't we give him a ride as well, how about-" He was afraid of heights and didn't dare to turn his head, so he could only turn his head slightly and talk to Xu Ye behind him. However, halfway through his words, he suddenly heard Fu Xiu's dry and somewhat frightened voice.

"Daoyou, there's no one behind you. Who are you talking to?"

Thunderbolt struck.

He Zhizhou: "..."

Fu Xiu: "..."

The two looked at each other and understood something at the same time without words.

The happy atmosphere in the air came to an abrupt end, and the two people flying were embarrassed at the same time.

He Zhizhou's heart skipped a beat.

He Zhizhou turned around expressionlessly.

Behind him, there was only his white shirt rustling in the wind, and there was no trace of anyone else.

Fu Xiu beside him stopped laughing and coughed lightly, looking away dimly, and flew away quickly.

Leaving as if nothing had happened was the last kindness he gave to He Zhizhou.

It was drizzling, but He Zhizhou felt that today's rain was heavier than the day Yiping went to her father to ask for money, and more heartbreaking than the day Chu Yuxuan and Murong Yunhai broke up.

He thought the plot was about friends walking together for life and brothers returning home together. He

never expected that he would head north and leave the season with Xu Ye.

And on the distant hilltop, a lonely figure was staggering. Xu Ye's face was covered with rain, and his expression was no longer clear.

In his eyes, there was a light that was weirder than a dead fish.

A drop of transparent liquid passed through the corner of He Zhizhou's eye.

He Zhizhou: "Yeah——!"
