Chapter 80 Chapter 80 Time freezes in the intertwined breath...
Just as Huo Xuexiang expressed his feelings in the plainest and most straightforward words, Bai Lu chose to quote the most appropriate poem she could think of to convey her feelings.
Both of them heard the words they wanted most, and smiled at the completely different speaking style from usual.
The vines between the fingers seemed to be able to transmit the heartbeats of the two people. The tender green branches and leaves were intertwined with the warm skin, and gradually, they became the entanglement of ten fingers.
Huo Xuexiang rarely had such explicit moments, but the throbbing in his heart that he couldn't hide needed to be released. He held Bai Lu's waist with one hand, and with the other hand, he held Bai Lu's hand and pulled him directly into his arms.
Bai Lu did fall into his arms, but she did not hug him back or deepen the action. Instead, she resisted slightly.
When Huo Xuexiang was stunned for a moment, Bai Lu loosened her clasped hands, hooked one hand around Huo Xuexiang's neck, and tiptoed lightly -
Huo Xuexiang thought back to when they were in Xuanshan, Bai Lu took the elixir and then pressed her lips against his face, making a kissing sound.
He understood in his heart that Bai Lu would do the same again at this moment. He thought that the customs of the two worlds were indeed different, so he bowed his head in cooperation.
But Bai Lu didn't mean to kiss him at all. Instead, a soft touch suddenly appeared on Huo Xuexiang's lips.
Huo Xuexiang's eyelashes trembled violently and his pupils contracted suddenly.
The sword cultivator's body suddenly tensed up, and stiffness spread along his spine. He had never experienced such a passionate action before.
But the lover's lips are so soft, sweet, and intoxicating that I even open them a little on my own initiative, and gently probe with the tip of my tongue, blending our moist breaths.
Huo Xuexiang lowered his eyes and could even catch a glimpse of the moist green eyes half-closed close at hand, with a moving glimmer flickering in the shimmering water, like jade supporting broken stars. Why would any professor need to deal with such a fierceness?
Huo Xuexiang's originally stiff palms unconsciously tightened around Bai Lu's waist. His heartbeat had never been so fast in the past two hundred years. He lowered his head and responded with the same tenderness and affection.
He learned very quickly and soon became familiar with this method, changing from accepting to actively asking for it, and they were close to each other, feeling that the wizard's hands were no longer strong enough to climb around his neck. He held the wizard firmly, separated a little, and then covered him tightly again.
Time froze in the intertwined breaths, and after a long time, Bai Lu finally separated from Huo Xuexiang's chest. Her lips, which had become bright in color, were still slightly open, revealing a touch of moist tender red. Her green eyes were so moist that they could almost shed abundant water, and were full of tears.
At this moment, Bai Lu continued the hug and threw herself into Huo Xuexiang's arms, hugging him tightly, with their chests pressed against each other, and said in a hoarse voice, "Wait a moment."
"Yeah." Huo Xuexiang kissed his hair.
Bai Lu hoped that she would have known it earlier, so that she would have more time to enjoy such moments, or that what happened afterwards would never happen.
After rubbing her soft cheek, Bai Lu knew that the time was almost up, so she raised her head reluctantly, and the tip of the vine brushed across Huo Xuexiang's palm.
He looked into Huo Xuexiang's eyes as if he had not seen enough, and finally he tiptoed and kissed Huo Xuexiang's eyes lightly, like the brush of leaves or the touch of a butterfly.
Huo Xuexiang was almost drowning in such unconcealed passion. He knew how brilliant and beautiful Bai Lu was, but when Bai Lu gave him all of this, his heart still trembled.
Huo Xuexiang slowly gathered his mind and unsheathed the Mokong Sword.
He stared into the void, and slashed out with a sword that was both ordinary and stunning. The sword's light was like a white rainbow piercing the sun, tearing through the thick darkness before his eyes.
Bai Lu only felt a flash of white light before her eyes, and the nothingness in front of her eyes ceased to exist. Her figure flashed, and everything around her had changed completely.
…
Bai Lu was originally prepared to face a group of witches, but when she looked around, there was not a single witch around.
After coming out, they found themselves in a basin-like sunken land, surrounded by rising tombs and lined with tombstones. The air was filled with incense smoke that lingered for a long time.
Didn't they say they were going to be refined? Why did they bury them? They buried them in their own ancestral graveyard? It was so weird that it was a little funny. It was too filial.
"Master, can you dig out the others as well?" Bai Lu felt a little ashamed. She had just kissed him and now she was calling him Master... cough cough.
Bai Lu was thinking about how to find out where the other people were buried when she suddenly felt a gust of wind.
He turned around sternly, but saw nothing. He turned again and still saw nothing.
Bai Lu and Huo Xue looked at each other. They both felt something, but only a slight trace of the wind made them aware of each other's presence.
Is he invisible, or...
Another gust of wind.
This time Bai Lu didn't turn his head. He flipped his body and a broom appeared under him. He hung upside down with the broom and shouted, "Wow!!"
The big cat's face showed a vivid expression of being frightened, and it was stunned for a moment by Bai Lu's magical movement.
Huo Xuexiang held his sword horizontally, turned around, and stabbed out with his sword!
A few hairs flew in the air, and the creature folded its wings and flew upwards, avoiding the sword light.
"It's you?" Bai Lu reached out to catch a handful of hair, put it in her pocket, and recognized it. Isn't this the Nuo beast Qiongqi?
Qiongqi: “…”
They were following Qiongqi all the way to Lingshan, but they didn't expect to meet Qiongqi again on a narrow road.
Bai Lu’s first reaction was to take action, lest Qiongqi call the Witch Clan again. He hadn’t even dug out the other coffins yet.
Several vines rose from the ground and went straight towards Qiongqi!
Qiongqi's speed was so fast that it was almost impossible to catch it with the naked eye. It flipped in the air without touching the ground, easily avoiding the attacks of the vines, and even had time to lick its paws.
Huo Xue was a little hesitant when he saw this situation.
Bai Lu also frowned, this...
More green plants are rising up from between the graves!
Qiongqi flew horizontally quickly, rolled down to the ground, avoiding the wood-type attack, and looked towards Bai Lu.
"Huh? It wasn't me." Bai Lu opened his eyes innocently. It really wasn't him who attacked.
I saw a grave being opened up, and a person grew out of the ground, holding two monks, a man and a woman, in his arms.
It was Cheng Yunjun who brought Ning Yanhu and Pei Zhaoting. They were like babies in the arms of the tall tree man.
Cheng Yunjun shook off the bronze coffin fragments and said angrily, "It's really hard to break... Bai Lu, are you okay?"
He found that Bai Lu came out before them, which was amazing.
When the Wu Clan used the bronze coffin to suck people in, Cheng Yunjun originally wanted to roll up Bai Lu, but Bai Lu was held back by Huo Xuexiang. He had to settle for the next best thing and rolled up Bai Lu's two fellow disciples with a tree branch.
The three of them were in the same coffin, and after two hours of hard work, they came out together.
As soon as Ning Yanhu showed her head, unlike Cheng Yunjun who was staring at Bai Lu with concern, she immediately saw the figure of Qiongqi, was startled, and also attacked, followed by Pei Zhaoting.
Qiongqi was still dodging with its incredibly fast speed. So far, only the sword that Huo Xuexiang had used had hurt its fur.
"Big sister, this tiger is so strange." Bai Lu shouted, "Have you noticed that it is moving faster? I mean, if it moves at this speed on the road, we won't be able to keep up, right?"
Ning Yanhu was stunned and stopped attacking involuntarily. The Qiongqi in front of him was clearly the one that brought them here...
They also lamented that the journey was quite smooth, from fishing for the Nuo beast to arriving at Lingshan, and the biggest setback was that they almost lost Qiongqi.
At that time, I almost thought I had lost Qiongqi. Now that I think about it, Qiongqi just happened to stop to drink water. Is this really reasonable?
Combined with its actual speed, this is pretty weird.
"Hey, what do you mean? Do you want to turn from darkness to light?" After Bai Lu found that they were not attacking, Qiongqi also stood still, wagging his tail, looking contented.
Bai Lu took a few steps forward to look at him, "Can you speak?"
Qiongqi didn't say anything either.
Bai Lu took two steps forward and asked tentatively, "Hello?"
"Awooo!" Qiongqi suddenly stood up and roared at Bai Lu.
"Wow!" Bai Lu was startled and took two steps back. She was supported by Huo Xuexiang. Then she saw a cunning smile in Qiongqi's eyes.
He remembered that he had scared Qiongqi before and collected some of his fur. Could this guy be taking revenge on him?
"...I really hold a grudge." Bai Lu thought about it and said, "Hey, isn't it said that Qiongqi likes evil and hates good? So I am really a good person, hehe."
Qiongqi: “…”
Ning Yanhu: "..."
She saw that half of Bai Lu's body was held in Huo Xuexiang's arms, and her uncle's blindfold was gone, revealing her eyes intact.
She was so attracted by Qiongqi just now that she didn't pay attention to him. Now she couldn't help but be surprised to find that there was nothing wrong with her uncle's eyes, and his aura was even more unfathomable.
Because there was nothing to cover his eyes, the tenderness in Huo Xuexiang's eyes became more obvious when he glanced at Bai Lu. Even though Ning Yanhu was used to seeing their intimacy, he couldn't help but wonder, "Is the person at the grave?"
But this was not the time for Ning Yanhu to sigh. His gaze turned back to Qiongqi. After scaring Bai Lu, Qiongqi continued to squat in the same place without saying a word.
"Forget it if you don't want to say it. Then don't stop us from digging people out." Bai Lu stood up and was about to call on the master and cousin to rescue the others.
Bailu was looking for a place with her head down when Qiongqi made a low "woop" sound.
Looking again, the Qiongqi's eyes were slowly turning dark red. Bai Lu watched for two seconds and suddenly became alert: "Don't look!"
After Bai Lu's reminder, everyone calmed down, or simply avoided Qiongqi's eyes.
Qiongqi seemed to be targeting Bai Lu and was staring at him alone.
Huo Xuexiang watched Qiongqi's movements carefully, and was about to make a move when Bai Lu stopped him. He angrily took out his spiritual pendulum and waved it in front of Qiongqi, "Are you the only one who can do this? Watch as much as you want!"
At the moment when the pendulum swung, Qiongqi's eyes, which were glowing dark red, actually became a little dazed, and then he shook his head, trying to get rid of the hypnosis.
Qiongqi finally spoke in a low female voice, a little confused: "You, you are..."
Bailu and Qiongqi looked at each other and decided to have a head-on confrontation, one using hypnosis and the other causing hallucinations, both trying to influence the other.
Bai Lu maintained a trace of clarity and asked in a slightly messy manner, "Who are you, Tiger Head?"
"I am possessed by the body of Qiongqi and talking to you. Stop, stop making trouble." Qiongqi was also confused. While being hypnotized, he insisted on casting illusions to try to control Bai Lu's mind.
Bai Lu: "No, I won."
Qiongqi: "You didn't win."
Bai Lu: "Then continue."
Everyone: “…”
...It's too chaotic and worrying. Don't let the two of you fall asleep together.
But from what they heard, this Qiongqi claimed that he was possessed and he didn't know who it was. At this moment, it seemed that there was some deep meaning. In addition, they were in a cemetery and there were many doubts, so they did not take the opportunity to act.
Furthermore, if the other party is really hostile, there is no need to say anything. Just let Qiongqi attack directly, or attract the Wu clan.
But looking at the two people in front of him trying to influence each other's spirit, Cheng Yunjun couldn't help scratching his head and asked blankly: "Should we wait for them to decide the winner now?"
The others were helpless, and Huo Xuexiang said, "...wait a minute."
Qiongqi asked Bai Lu in an increasingly serious tone, his voice carrying a mysterious rhythm: "Who are you, from the Wood Clan?"
I won’t say it, I won’t say it, Bai Lu thought so in her heart, but she still couldn’t hold her mouth shut and couldn’t help but speak, and she told the truth: "I am a wizard..."
It’s over, it’s over. Not only did they say it, but it was in Chinese, and it wasn’t even encrypted. What a vicious deception.
Qiongqi: “?”
Everyone: “?”
Ning Yanhu was slow to react and clapped his hands, saying, "Great, Junior Brother Bai wins!"
She felt that Bai Lu was lying easily under hypnosis, unlike the Qiongqi opposite her, who even confessed the possession.
Qiongqi also realized this and closed his eyes: "You win, stop it."
"..." Bai Lu covered her mouth, looked at Huo Xuexiang, the only one who knew the truth, and put away her spiritual pendulum awkwardly, "Just admit defeat."
In the current situation, Bai Lu chose to squat down and asked: "Are you... the witch with the bird-beak mask just now? What do you want to do?"
When he saw this method of influencing the mind, he remembered the bird-faced witch tribe, which was the first to take action among the three witch tribes and used exactly the same method.
Bai Lu really wanted to take out the silk book and force the other party to tell her how she got here, but for now she decided to ask more important questions first.
"You can call me Wu Chan." The other party agreed, and after a moment, asked again, "Are you the only ones? The human race, the wood race, the feather race, the water race...but why didn't the dragon of the water race and the phoenix of the feather race participate? Aren't they more powerful?"
Bai Lu was quite amazed and said: "You have even less common sense than me. There are no dragons and phoenixes in the world of immortal cultivation. They all ascended to heaven many, many years ago."
Even though Wu Chan was speaking with a tiger head, it was easy to see a trace of astonishment on the tiger's face, "I, I don't know..."
"The Wu clan has been living in seclusion for a long time and is unaware of the changes in worldly affairs." Huo Xuexiang looked at Wu Chan inquiringly, as if trying to discern her thoughts. "The Dragon and Phoenix clans have already ascended to heaven and are no longer in this world."
"Why do you seem to want to be on our side? Can you please let my other teammates go?" Bai Lu was quick to notice that Wu Chan's stance was not right. She was still thinking about her teammates. "Aren't they going to be refined by your magic weapons in less than half an hour?"
Wu Chan said calmly: "Don't worry, it won't be refined. I'm here, so you can let it out. But you have to stay quiet and don't attract attention."
Qiongqi pressed his claws, and bronze coffins rose from the ground. The coffin lids opened, and the monks inside were all intact.
But as soon as he came out, Wu Chan used magic to influence his mind and he remained silent.
"It seems we have an undercover agent who we just met. Everyone, keep quiet and listen to her explanation." Bai Lu took the opportunity to shrink them and put them into a familiar basket. She warned them not to act rashly or make a fuss, and then let Wu Chan lift the spell.
The monks: “???”
Undercover, where did we get the undercover? Qiongqi is ours? ?
The monks looked at the familiar Qiongqi in confusion. Who sent him and when did he send him undercover?
But Qiongqi did not seem to have any intention of attacking, and even released them from the bronze coffin.
Also, why didn’t Sword Master cover his eyes? His two eyes were intact. What happened just now?
The little monks then sat cross-legged in the basket, ready to listen to what was happening.
The members were ready. Huo Xue looked at Wu Chan and asked directly, "May I ask what the purpose of the Wu clan's formation is?"
"You... figured it out?" Wu Chan didn't expect him to get straight to the point, and thought about where to start.
Wu Chanhu frowned and said quietly, "The Wu clan has lived in Lingshan for tens of thousands of years, suspended between heaven and earth, so that they can better comprehend the stars in the sky. We hope that one day the whole clan can ascend to the sky with Lingshan."
Bai Lu had heard in the past that the witches lived in seclusion because of their strange cultivation techniques.
But now it seems that they simply think that this place is more convenient for cultivation, and they are particularly ambitious, wanting their entire clan to ascend to heaven, just like the dragon and the phoenix in the past.
Everyone could only sigh, saying that they were indeed an ancient great clan, very magnanimous.
"Unfortunately, our clan has been meditating for many years, but has not succeeded in drawing the power of the stars. We even discovered more than a decade ago that a star was moved to a position that did not belong to it because of our clan." There was a hint of complexity in Wu Chan's tone, and that was the beginning of everything.
Just a few words shocked everyone.
Wu Chan glanced over and asked, "I'm afraid the mortal world should also feel it. Although you may not know why, under the star error, the stars in the sky are shaking and the earth is connected, and there will be disasters in the world."
Almost at the same time, Bai Lu whispered, "disaster."
The word disaster means calamity, but tracing its origins, the word comes from the Greek word “astron”, which means star.
In ancient astrology, if the stars deviated from their orbits and came to positions that were not originally theirs, it would cause all kinds of disasters. So gradually, the word came to have a broad meaning of disaster.
Wu Chan's "Xing Miu" could also correspond to the word "Xi" (a word in the West) which means disasters caused by the mistakes of the stars. Bai Lu said the word because she suddenly felt that it corresponded to the situation in front of her in terms of its double meaning.
Bai Lu suddenly realized why he felt something unusual when he was surveying the sky. It was clearly due to the disharmony of the stars, which could not be completely aligned with the earth's network!
There were countless networks of the earth in his mind, and the two could not fit together precisely. Although he could not immediately pinpoint the error among the vast number of stars, he could feel the disharmony.
Moreover, to make such observations, one must be suspended between heaven and earth like the Witch Clan, or be like Bai Lu who was patrolling the sky at that time. Even if one could see it, one might not notice it as he did. It might even be easy for one to think, like he did at the beginning, that the problem was caused by other issues, such as changes in the Netherworld.
And when Wu Chan said this, Bai Lu and the other cultivators recalled and almost all thought of another thing and looked at Juntian Sword Master.
Huo Xuexiang recalled the past and said, "The sword prison is moving."
About ten years ago, the Sword Prison inexplicably moved, and Huo Xuexiang stopped it with one sword. Everyone thought it was a "natural disaster."
But now that Wu Chan mentioned it, and the time also fits, this is probably very likely related to Xing Miu!
At that time, the stars had some errors, but only a little, not as good as they are now.
Huo Xuexiang also thought that the problem lay with the ground, and that it was caused by normal landform changes over time. Haven't you seen that in ancient times the vast ocean turned into mulberry fields?
