Chapter 76: Learn to Call My Wife Like a Dog
Xie Yanyu walked into the forest,
There was a thin black fog all around, so visibility was not very high.
These mists should be poisonous. They are used by the maze to prevent outsiders from finding the center of the formation. Xie Yanyu anticipated this situation before coming in and took a detoxifying pill, so these mists cannot affect her for the time being.
I don't know how long I walked,
Xie Yanyu finally saw a tree in front of him.
Even though the view was obscured by fog, one could still make out the lush branches and leaves of the tree, the only touch of green amidst the withered darkness surrounding it.
System: [The center of the formation should be this tree! ]
Xie Yanyu nodded and walked closer to the tree.
As I got closer, my vision became clearer, and I could see the tree's exact shape.
The tree looked quite old and was very huge, with a thick trunk. Even if three or four people held hands, they might not be able to hug it. The branches were lush and covered the sky, and there were even some golden buds among the dark green leaves.
Xie Yanyu raised his eyes, stared at the flower buds on the tree for a while, and suddenly said: Why are the flowers on it golden?
The name of this tree is Golden Luo, a very rare sacred tree. Its growing conditions are very harsh and it must live in a place with abundant spiritual energy. But once it survives, its lifespan is very long and it will not wither for thousands of years. According to legend, the Golden Luo tree blooms once every hundred years. The flowers it blooms are called Golden Luo flowers, which are easy to identify. Three petals overlap around the pistil. Although the shape is strange, it is also a rare and expensive spiritual medicine.
Xie Yanyu has used the golden radish flower to refine many elixirs.
But all the golden radish flowers she had seen and used were purple.
Therefore, when she saw that the flower was truly golden, she couldn't help but feel a little confused.
System: [Gold is gold, so what? Maybe this flower is purple and gold. Why do you care about the color? Is now the time to worry about that? Quickly think about how to destroy this formation's core.]
Xie Yanyu was originally looking at the golden radish thoughtfully, feeling that something was not right.
But after hearing what the system said, he did feel that the more important thing at this time was to destroy the center of the formation.
So she raised her hand and gently placed her palm on the tree trunk.
at the same time,
Chen Lang was in the mountains and forests, searching in the direction he sensed.
Because the location of the array's center was too difficult to sense, he could only know the approximate direction. He anchored the approximate location and then sensed each tree one by one. At this time, his hand was placed on a huge golden vine.
Next second.
His fingertips moved slightly.
Although he couldn't confirm that this was the center of the formation, he sensed Xie Yanyu's breath.
Therefore, he realized almost instantly that this golden vine was the center of the maze.

The other side.
Shangqing Immortal Palace, outside the meeting hall.
Helan Wei looked at Li Xun. Even though he already knew that this man was here to look for Xie Yanyu, his expression still twisted for a moment when he heard Li Xun say that he was here to look for his wife.
Although Li Xun was born into a noble family, his family fell into poverty too early and he had been struggling in the market for too long, so he was not particular about his choice of words. People who were a little more elegant would call their wives "Madam" or "Daoist companion", but Li Xun didn't care about whether his words were elegant or not. If he were gathered together to curse at this group of immortals, he would definitely be the one who cursed the most. At this time, he didn't speak too elegantly and would just call her "wife" as soon as he opened his mouth.
Nowadays, only those uneducated and rough people in the market would call their wives like this.
It's straightforward, but too straightforward and it becomes vulgar.
However, whether it is wife or madam,
Even if this title is replaced with a more elegant term, it is still harsh when it comes out of Li Xun's mouth.
Helan Wei held the sword, tightening his fingers.
Soon he smiled gently again, as if the distortion just now was just an illusion.
He said casually, "I don't think I've ever heard that Sect Leader Li has a wife."
Li Xun was a little impatient: "We're engaged but not married yet."
Helan Wei said slowly, "I've never heard that Sword Master has ever held an engagement ceremony. How can it be called an engagement if there's no ceremony?"
Li Xun laughed when he heard this. This guy must be sick. Why is he so sarcastic?
Why are there no normal people he meets recently? There's that weird guard, and then there's the first disciple of Shangqing, who is inexplicably concerned about his and Qingqing's marriage. As soon as he mentions the word "engagement", this person can find a dozen faults.
He was just about to tell Helan Wei to get out of here so as not to delay him from finding someone else to help him find someone,
However, the next second, Helan Wei lowered his eyes and his gaze stopped at his waist.
Li Xun followed his gaze and found that he was looking at the jade pendant on his waist.
This is the jade pendant Qingqing gave him.
The one with the Vermillion Bird pattern is not even a spiritual jade, so it doesn't look like a valuable thing. It just looks good at first glance.
But he put it on anyway.
He had put it on in front of Qingqing and the guard on the carriage coming here.
At that time, Qingqing asked him, "Why are you wearing it again?"
He was impatient: "I sold my engagement in exchange for this rubbish, why can't I wear it?"
Qingqing was even more impatient than him: "Are you sick? You said that dogs don't wear it."
Li Xun put on the jade pendant slowly, then crossed his legs and leaned against the car wall. He sneered at her, revealing a little bit of his white teeth. He imitated the barking of a dog and said lightly, "Yes, I am a dog. What's wrong with me wearing it?"
Qingqing: “…………”
She was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Seeing that she was annoyed, Li Xun felt relaxed both physically and mentally, and thought that it might be okay to wear the jade pendant.
So I never took it off again.
Seeing Helan Wei staring at it, he said sinisterly, "My wife gave it to me. Does it look good? Have you seen enough?"
As soon as these words fell.
Then a "crunching" sound was heard from Helan Wei's hand, as if he had crushed something.
Helan Wei drooped his eyelashes and didn't look up. After a long while, he finally spoke. I don't know why, but the voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: "It looks very beautiful."
*
Shangqing Immortal Palace did not want others to know that they could see the scene in the maze, especially since Li Xun was from another sect. But Li Xun was serious about finding Xie Yanyu at this time. Everyone knew that he was a mad dog who acted recklessly and without any scruples. If he was unhappy, he could really overturn Shangqing Immortal Palace.
Normal people are afraid of crazy people, so everyone is wary of him.
The leader of Shangqing Immortal Palace weighed the pros and cons and finally came out to smooth things over, saying that they had checked Xie Yanyu's location and found that she was still undergoing trials in the maze at the foot of the mountain. He told Li Xun not to worry, and if she had any problems, they would bring her out as soon as possible.
Not only that,
The leader also asked Helan Wei to get a life lamp for Li Xun——
The life lamp can be used to confirm the safety of a specific person.
There is Xie Yanyu's breath on the apprenticeship letter. By introducing her breath into the life lamp, you can see her condition. If the light is very bright, it means that she is fine. If the light is dim, it means that she is injured. If the light is out, it means that she is dead.
*
Xie Yanyu is still in the trial,
It was impossible for Li Xun to put a knife on someone's neck and force the people from Shangqingxian Palace to bring Xie Yanyu out. Even if he could really bring her out, her trial would be ruined.
Therefore, the clan leader offered to give him a life lamp to confirm her condition, and he agreed.
Helan Wei went to the meeting hall and took a life lamp.
Just about to take the things out,
He paused as if he had thought of something.
He held the life lamp and stood there quietly for a long time before he suddenly moved his fingers and made other movements.
He lowered his eyelashes, covering his pupils.
So no one noticed that a sticky dark color was crawling under his eyes, distorting his casual and frivolous temperament.
Then he took out a jade pendant from the mustard seed bag.
The one with the Vermillion Bird pattern is not even a spiritual jade, but it looks pretty good at first glance.
But if you look more closely, you will find that this jade pendant is exactly the same as the one Li Xun wears around his waist.
Helan Wei held the jade pendant in his hand, rubbing it with his fingertips for a long time.
Then he wore the jade in the most conspicuous place around his waist.
After doing this,
Then he went out with the life lamp.
He handed the life lamp to Li Xun, then took Xie Yanyu's letter of apprenticeship and introduced her breath into the life lamp. The next second, the life lamp lit up, and the light inside was very bright, indicating that she was in good condition and safe.
Only then did Li Xun put away his sword.
Before, his sword was always unsheathed. Although he usually used a whip more often, his sword was the more frightening one.
His sword was a rare and famous sword in the world. He had used this sword to kill the Chuantian Sword Sect and the Chuanmo Clan. Whenever he did something like massacring someone's entire sect or exterminating an entire clan, he had used this sword.
The sword was soaked in blood, and just by showing a small part of the blade, a murderous aura came towards you.
Therefore, people spread the word,
When Li Xun draws his sword, he is much scarier than when he holds a whip.
When he used a whip, he might just randomly kill one or two people depending on his mood, but when he used a sword, hundreds or thousands of people died.
At this time, Li Xun's sword was sheathed.
He saw many people around him looking relieved, and suddenly smiled, teasingly, "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of me?"
He pointed at the life lamp and said lazily, "As long as this lamp stays on, you don't have to be afraid of me."
After he said this, he raised his hand and took the life lamp from Helan Wei.
Helan Wei didn't look relieved or unhappy. His expression remained indifferent from beginning to end. It was not gentle, but it was not appropriate to say that he was expressionless.
Li Xun always felt that there was something strange about this person.
But it's just strange.
He raised his eyes, but didn't care much.
However, just as he took the life lamp and was about to take his things and leave, the next second, he saw a jade pendant hanging around Helan Wei's waist.
Probably because Helan Wei was wearing the white robes of a disciple of Shangqing Palace,
The jade pendant was also white, so it was not too conspicuous on his waist. Maybe it was because of this reason that Li Xun hadn't seen it before.
At this time, I saw
His gaze lingered on the jade pendant, and almost in an instant, he discovered that this jade pendant looked exactly the same as the one around his waist.
The pattern is the same, the shape is the same, the material is the same, and even the color is the same.
Li Xun paused.
Then he saw Helan Wei stretch out his hand, and gently rubbed the jade pendant with his well-proportioned fingers.
He smiled elegantly, neither light nor heavy.
"...What a coincidence, right? A very close friend gave it to me."
