Starting from helping someone rob a wedding, he was forced to hide in the Sunset Sect

The four continued to walk through the woods and encountered a tree demon in the second half of the journey.

But this time the tree demon was at the same level as them, and it took a lot of time to deal with it. Except for Chen Feng, the two sisters suffered some minor skin injuries.

For Chen Feng, the problem could be solved with just two talismans. Xu Yeyu sighed that this was worthy of the way rich people played.

Chen Feng's fighting style will not be recognized by some cultivators, after all, he has always relied on external objects.

But for Xu Yeyu, being rich is also a kind of strength.

As they went deeper into the dense forest, the giant trees in the jungle towered into the clouds, and their treetops blocked out the sun. A hidden valley entrance appeared in front of them, and the rocks were covered with vines and various strange-shaped plants.

There was a green horse in the Jindan stage in the valley, and Elder He specifically told them not to disturb the green horse.

The Sunset Sect gave it some benefits, so it would not attack the Sunset Sect disciples who came here for training.

"According to Elder He, the blue lotus is nearby." Xu Yeyu reminded.

In fact, he already knew where the blue lotus was, but he didn't say it. After all, this was also part of the training, and it would not be appropriate for him to tell the three people directly.

The three searched everywhere except the valley, but found no trace of the blue lotus.

This is a normal situation. In the past, most of the disciples from Sunset Sect who came here to train did not bring the blue lotus back.

Most of the training requirements had been completed by defeating the tree monster. It didn't matter if they couldn't find the last one, which was to find the blue lotus. They would just have one hundred contribution points less.

For Yuncai and Yunyin, these 100 contribution points are very important, because the two of them only need these contribution points to exchange for rare treasures to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Otherwise, they would have to do a few more internal affairs commissions to get the 100 contribution points.

The three of them gathered and began the discussion.

Yunyin looked at her sister and asked, "Sister, have you found any trace of the blue lotus?"

Yuncai shook his head. Not to mention the trace of blue lotus, there was not even the shadow of a flower here.

They turned their attention to another teammate.

Chen Feng also shook his head. There was only a valley here besides the trees. Elder He had specifically told them not to enter the valley, so the blue lotus must not be there.

Seeing that the three of them didn't find anything unusual, Xu Yeyu reminded them, "The blue lotus is nearby, but we are trapped in the formation now, so we can't find it."

The three of them felt a little scared after hearing this. They had stepped into the formation without knowing it, which was a very dangerous thing.

They did not doubt Xu Yeyu's words because he was indeed good at formations and had used formations to defeat Yun Yin.

There are two ways to break the array, one is brute force, the other is to find the center of the array and break it.

The three of them didn't think they had the ability to break the trap by brute force, so they could only find the eye of the formation and then break it.

Chen Feng thought for a moment and pointed out a place that he found unusual: "I just noticed that there was something wrong with a tree. Did you find anything else unusual?"

Hearing this, Yuncai fell into deep thought: "Now that you mention it, it seems that I have also noticed that there is something wrong with a tree, and it emits a strange smell."

The two seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Yun Yin who was still in a daze, as if hoping she would say something.

Every time the outer disciples went down the mountain for training, they would be accompanied by a senior brother or sister at the Foundation Establishment stage and three Qi Refining stage disciples.

Why three people?

Each time, only three disciples in the late Qi Refining Stage go down the mountain to train. Does this mean there are three centers of the formation?

Yunyin was a little uncomfortable with being stared at by the two men. Was I supposed to have discovered something?

I'm the only one who didn't find anything?

She said with a guilty conscience: "Why don't you come with me to take a look at the area I'm responsible for?"

"Let's go check out that black tree over there first."

Chen Feng took out a fire talisman, and the two sisters followed him to a black tree.

The tree stood alone, in stark contrast to the lush green of the surrounding trees, its trunk a deep black and its leaves a deep purple.

"Sister! I also remember this tree. I just saw a black tree like this. But I only paid attention to the blue lotus at that time and didn't observe this tree carefully."

"Then our guess is correct. This trap formation has three cores, so there have always been three outer disciples of the Sunset Sect who have come down the mountain to train."

Chen Feng chanted the incantation, and the flame formed by the talisman burned the black tree. In the sight of the three people, the branches and leaves turned into sparks, burning and making a hissing sound.

As time went by, the tree gradually turned into a dark trunk, emitting disturbing black smoke that filled the air. After the fire was extinguished, the ashes on the trunk gradually drifted away, and the leaves reappeared with vitality, returning to their original deep purple color.

Chen Feng said excitedly: "It must be correct. This tree is one of the cores of the formation. Sometimes a trap needs to break the core at the same time to break the trap. We can burn these three trees together later."

He took out three fire talismans and gave one to each of the two sisters. The three of them then came to the black tree.

As the flames burned, the black trees in front of them disappeared, and the towering trees also disappeared, turning into a meadow. They found themselves standing on a meadow, and everything they had seen before was an illusion of the formation.

A group of blue flowers bloomed on the grass, their petals soft and filled with a faint fragrance. These were the blue lotuses that Elder He had asked them to look for.

After Yuncai took out a blue lotus and put it into the storage ring, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

They didn't expect that the training would involve the eye of the formation. Fortunately, Xu Yeyu reminded them, otherwise the three of them would have been trapped in the formation and returned empty-handed.

Yuncai said to Xu Yeyu: "Thank you for your reminder, Junior Brother Xu. Otherwise, none of us three would be able to get this blue lotus."

"This is the result of your hard work. I just reminded you a little bit. If Elder He asks you how you discovered the formation, you must say that you discovered it yourself..."

Before Xu Yeyu could finish his words, the three people in front of him subconsciously took a step back.

Did he just say something he shouldn't have said?

Are there so many things that cannot be said these days?

"Junior Brother Xu...behind you..." Yun Yin pointed behind Xu Yeyu.

He turned his head and saw a green horse slowly walking towards them.

In fact, Xu Yeyu knew that after the three of them broke the formation, the green horse had already approached them.

But why were they so afraid of this green horse? It didn't come here to cause trouble for them. It just wanted to find out who had broken the trap it had set.

Who says that formations can only be set up by cultivators? The green horses can also use some formations!

"Elder He told us that the Qing Ma will not attack us, so there is no need to worry so much."

After hearing Xu Yeyu's words, the three of them did not run back. This was a Jindan-stage monster. If it suddenly attacked them, they would not be confident that they could escape unscathed.

The green horse raised its hoof gently, and a green meadow instantly turned into a dense forest, and three black trees reappeared. The two sisters and Chen Feng realized that this trap was set by the green horse, not by the elders of their Sunset Sect.

After setting up the trap, the three people looked at him in confusion.

Qing Ma actually bit Xu Yeyu's sleeve and gently pulled him, his eyes seeming to convey some message.

【follow me. 】

Qingma let go of his sleeve, walked forward a few steps, then turned back and motioned Xu Yeyu to follow.

Although Xu Yeyu didn't know what the green horse wanted to do, it said so.

Why not follow it and take a look?

The green horse brought him into the valley. It walked to the corner, bit a gray bead with its mouth, and put it in Xu Yeyu's hand.

The bead is crystal clear and exudes a faint fragrance. This is the Earth Spirit Bead, one of the five spiritual beads.

Xu Yeyu looked at the Earth Spirit Pearl in his hand. He didn’t expect that he would actually encounter the Earth Spirit Pearl when he came out to do a commission.

And it was Qing Ma who gave it to him, and he didn’t even go looking for it himself.

Is this what they call an encounter?

Xu Yeyu said: "I really need this Earth Spirit Pearl. If you give it to me, I can't take it back."

This valley is maintained by the Earth Spirit Pearl. If he takes away the Earth Spirit Pearl, the valley will collapse soon and the green horse will have to find another place to live.

The green horse pushed him with its head, as if trying to drive him away. Xu Yeyu thanked it and left the valley.

Qingma stood there quietly, his eyes reflecting Xu Yeyu's back as he left.

It had felt a gaze staring at it before, but when it became alert, the gaze had disappeared.

At that time, Qing Ma thought it was an illusion, until this disciple of the Sunset Sect entered its trap and saw through its layout at a glance.

It goes without saying that the previous gaze came from this cultivator who had not even reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

There is a familiar aura on him. There was a woman who also had this aura in the past. Even if he is not that person's descendant, there should be some kind of relationship between them.

Qing Ma’s thoughts went back a hundred years ago.

......

......

The sun shines through the leaves, tiny spots of light dance among the leaves, the leaves sway gently, and the light and shadows flicker.

Qingma stood under the shade of the tree, quietly enjoying the tranquility of the afternoon, until a familiar voice broke its peace.

"Xiaoqing, I'll take you out to play. Do you want to go somewhere today?" The soft voice was like the wind blowing through the treetops, gently brushing past Qingma's ears.

Qingma raised his head and rolled his eyes at her. Are you really not coming to me just to find a mount?

The woman naturally understood its expression. She touched the back of her head and said embarrassedly, "What's wrong with accompanying my friend to play for a while? Do you know that my realm is higher than yours now? Even if I force you to do it, you have to be my mount."

The green horse looked at her helplessly. The woman smiled brightly and sat on its back freely.

"Let's go to a mountain to watch the sunset today. What do you think?" the woman asked.

Qing Ma thought about it for a moment, then nodded, as if to express his agreement.

【it is good. 】

"Let's go to that mountain." The woman pointed to a mountain in the distance, her voice full of anticipation.

The green horse began to move forward along the winding mountain road, sometimes taking light steps and sometimes jumping over a rock.

Along the way, the woman talked to Qingma about the little things and interesting things that happened in her recent practice, and her laughter continued to echo in the valley.

A man and a horse climbed to the top of a mountain, and before them was a vast expanse of mountains and fields.

It didn't take long.

The orange-red light filled the entire valley. In this golden afterglow, the mountains were undulating, and the lush trees and shrubs were sparkling in the setting sun.

The mountains in the distance were dyed with a faint red glow.

At the foot of the mountain, a stream meanders by. The water is so clear that you can see the bottom. When the breeze blows, ripples appear on the surface of the water.

The setting sun shines on the man and the horse, warm and beautiful.
