ask willow

"Be careful."

"how?"

Liu Zhongyi gave a pause in his hands, and slightly turned his head to look at the person behind him.

Wen Yan pointed to the vine that he was about to brush away just now, and said, "This is called 'Dark Fragrance', and it's usually harmless, but it produces a scent when touched, which makes people slightly poisoned," he frowned. , "If it is mixed with some other drugs, it will also have psychedelic effects."

Liu Zhongyi said: "It's just that this one looks the same as those vines just now."

Wen Yan smiled and said: "Look at the roots of the vines, there are a little light yellow spots."

Liu Zhongyi carefully looked at the vine for a while, and found that it was indeed the case, and the root of each leaf was slightly yellow, so he nodded and wrote it down silently.

On the side, Jian Moyan lightly ticked on the silk map drawn, and said, "Master Wen is planning to teach Mr. Liu as a personal disciple?"

It has been two days since they came to Wangran Mountain to investigate. They drew a simple route map and recorded many dangerous places. Whenever they encountered some special plants with poisonous or psychedelic effects, Wen Yan would explain a few words to Liu Zhongyi. He put his heart into it, and the people who listened were very serious. After seeing a lot, Jian Moyan couldn't help being a little bit teasing.

Wen Yan still smiled after hearing his words, and stared at the slightly dazed man.

Liu Zhongyi met his gaze, her heart skipped a beat, and just about to say something, she heard an unusual rustling sound of branches and leaves, so she frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, "There is someone."

Not long after, I heard footsteps coming from far and near, the footsteps were very light, obviously possessing martial arts, and it sounded a bit mixed, it seemed that there was more than one person.

Liu Zhongyi clasped the dagger in his sleeve, looked at Wen Yan, his heart sank, and he didn't hesitate much, his eyes signaled, and he walked lightly, quickly found a huge ancient tree, and took Jian Moyan to the dense forest. Hidden among the branches and leaves.

After a while, he saw more than a dozen people in black coming up the mountain from the path, but there was only one person in green shirt, Liu Zhongyi recognized at a glance that that person was Qi Su.

Qi Su was walking in the front, but stopped not far from them, and those men in black who followed behind him also stopped, waiting for his order.

All three of Liu Zhongyi held their breath and concentrated, not daring to be careless.

Qi Su had been standing there for a long time, Jian Mo said that he had no martial arts, so naturally he couldn't hold his breath for a long time, after all he couldn't hold on, and forced himself to control the extremely light breath.

However, the moment he exhaled, Qi Su had already noticed that a hidden weapon was hitting the ancient tree directly.

Liu Zhongyi knew that the man's intuition was as terrifying as martial arts, so he was prepared, and with genuine energy in his hands, he caught the hidden weapon that was shot rapidly.

Looking down, it was an extremely ordinary dart.

Qi Su raised his hand to signal, and those men in black immediately dispersed to surround the huge ancient tree.

"Follow me." Wen Yan frowned and ordered in a low voice.

"En." Liu Zhongyi held Jian Moyan in one hand, his body stretched like a fully drawn bow, accumulating explosive power.

Wen Yan glanced at him, nodded slightly, stepped lightly on the branches with his toes, and then flew up, heading straight for the dark fragrant plant, with a very light and agile figure, as if his clothes were not contaminated by the wind.

As soon as he appeared, a few people shot with hidden weapons immediately, but Wen Yan didn't care, he only borrowed some strength from the Anshengxiang, and then went a little further away.

Hearing only a few slight noises, the hidden weapons behind him were all knocked down by a few silver needles, and a figure flashed like a ghost, chasing after him.

Wen Yan didn't go far away, and after leaving An Shengxiang, he stood on the branch of another tree, holding a pill between his fingers, and after Liu Zhongyi followed with Jian Moyan, he shot the pill towards him again. On a hidden weapon that struck.

The pill exploded in an instant, scattered into countless powders, and then disappeared.

"Walk."

Wen Yan said in a low voice, Liu Zhongyi nodded, and immediately took Jian Moyan and followed him to the distant jungle.

Those men in black chased after them in the direction they left, but they smelled a strange fragrance halfway, and felt a little dizzy, and what they saw became distorted and strange.

Qi Su immediately noticed something unusual, motioned the people behind to stop, then glanced at the vine that seemed to have nothing special, frowned slightly, pointed at one person, and said, "Stay here and take a good look." They and the rest follow me."

"Yes."

Qi Su nodded slightly, avoided the vine, and quickly chased after the place where the three left.

Because they wanted to bring Jian Moyan, the speed of the three of them could not be considered too fast. It didn't take long before they heard footsteps coming from behind, but it was Qi Su who caught up first, and the rest of the men in black were not as good as him in martial arts, so they naturally fell behind.

Wen Yan flicked his sleeves lightly, and a tiny bit of light blue powder was blown towards that person with the wind.

Qi Su held his breath, borrowed strength from the branches with his toes, pulled himself up, and landed behind them in a volley, a dart hit Jian Moyan.

Liu Zhongyi heard the sound of piercing the sky, and knew that Jian Moyan had no martial arts and could not dodge, so he had to abruptly change his posture, lead him to the side, and dodge.

After this delay, Qi Su chased after him, without any hesitation, he drew out the long sword hanging from his waist and stabbed at him.

The sword was so fierce that it didn't have any strength left.

He knew that if this sword couldn't stop that person, he probably had no chance.

Liu Zhongyi frowned, pushed Jian Moyan behind him, unsheathed the dagger in his sleeve, and raised his breath to block the sword.

Although his movements were extremely fast, he was still in a hurry, and he was able to stop the sword's edge, but he was shocked by the sword energy full of it, and his chest felt a little stagnant.

Liu Zhongyi raised his eyes slightly, and looked at the person opposite. His martial arts were all taught by this person. Naturally, he understood the gap between the two. Qi Su has deep internal strength, and the longer the stalemate, the more obvious his advantage will be.

Qi Su also glanced at him, sighed, and said: "Zhong Yi, you have a good talent in martial arts and are also very intelligent, but if you want to beat me, it will take a few more years."

Liu Zhongyi didn't answer, separated his long sword, and made fierce moves one after another, without losing the wind for a while.

However, after a while, the men in black behind also chased after him, and Liu Zhongyi glanced at Wen Yan who was about to step forward, with burning eyes.

Wen Yan immediately understood what he meant, but at this moment he would rather not understand——

He knew that Liu Zhongyi wanted him to leave with Jian Moyan, perhaps this was indeed the best way at this time, otherwise, facing such people, they were weak and might not be able to get away.

But at that moment, he thought of many things. On the night of asking about the sword gate, Liu Zhongyi asked him to chase Yuan Qingfeng, but he returned to the gate alone. At that time, he couldn't even look at him; On the railway cable bridge, Liu Zhongyi cut off the chain without even giving him a look, as if he was not facing life and death calmly.

And this time... it's still the same.

If it was said that they had never communicated with each other before, he also admired that person's calmness and indifference at such a time, but now, it would be too difficult for him to let him stay here alone.

Wen Yan shook his head slightly, and met the men in black who were chasing up. The crushed pill in his hand hit a person's face with the wind of his palm. Feeling dizzy, with a pain in the wrist, subconsciously let go of the palm, and felt that the long sword in the palm was snatched away, and felt a tightness in the chest, and was blown away by the wind of the palm, and fell out.

When the people who came up from behind saw him, they naturally didn't dare to be careless, they were always on guard against Wen Yan's use of medicine powder, three or four of them wrestled with him, and the rest wanted to go forward and grab Jian Moyan.

Wen Yan naturally refused to let those people succeed, flicking his clothes, the person who stopped him immediately held his breath and covered his face, but he didn't want him to just make a feint, take the opportunity to escape from the encirclement, turn over and land in front of Jian Moyan, and strike with a sword Passed it to the person who was chasing him.

His moves were always gentle, and his strikes were not heavy, but at this time the sword became fierce, revealing a bit of killing intent, and the tip of the sword pierced the heart of the man in black in front.

The man in black reacted very quickly, he immediately raised his sword to block it, and at the same time shot out a steel needle with a cold blue luster, which was obviously poisoned.

Wen Yanjian didn't stop and turned forward, but with the other hand, he clamped the steel needle between his fingers without haste, and stabbed the steel needle back into the man's arm the moment the man turned sideways to block his long sword attack.

The poison on the steel needle was obviously very poisonous. After being stabbed, the man backed up again and again, and hurriedly searched for an antidote on his body. Wen Yan chased after him and stabbed his right shoulder with a sword. The sword energy cut his muscles and bones. After being unable to hold the sword, he let him go and turned to face the person behind.

Seeing that those people were unable to restrain Wen Yan for a while, Qi Su took a sword flower to force Liu Zhongyi to take a step back, and flew towards Jian Moyan.

Liu Zhongyi immediately chased after him, and threw the dart in his sleeve, intending to stop him.

Qi Su raised his breath, turned around to avoid it, but still didn't stop, but this slowness, Wen Yan had already withdrawn from the battle group slightly, and met his blow.

Qi Su relied on the force of his fall to make this sword extremely fierce, Wen Yan didn't take it hard, and the long sword in his hand seemed to be thrown out lightly, but it pointed directly at the vital point, forcing Qi Su to press down with the sword to block it. After opening this, the figure was pulled up again, and a somersault landed behind Jian Moyan.

Unexpectedly, Wen Yan borrowed strength from the anti-teacher, and quickly turned around and stabbed with his sword.

Qi Su flipped his wrist, swung his blade away with his sword, and reached forward with the other hand, trying to capture Jian Moyan.

However, there was no panic on Jian Moyan's face, he raised his hand slightly, and there was a slight sound of a machine spring in his sleeve.

Qi Su was startled when he heard the sound, and his body that had been trained to be extremely sharp reacted rationally first. When the sound sounded, he leaned back, only feeling a trace of coldness brushing across his chest.

The machine spring was so strong that the hidden weapon flew out close to Qi Su's skirt, and nailed to a tree not far away, and then there was a bang, which exploded the wood.

Qi Su couldn't help feeling a little lucky, he only said that Jian Moyan had no martial arts, he didn't expect that he had such a powerful machine spring self-defense, if he got it, it might not be such a light thing to get hurt.

Taking advantage of this gap, Liu Zhongyi had already chased up to him without leaving any room, and stabbed Qi Su's waist and abdomen with the dagger in his sleeve.

Those men in black raised their blades one after another to stop them, but Wen Yan took the first step, turned his back to Liu Zhongyi tacitly, stood beside Jian Moyan, and forced them back with a cloud sword.

Qi Su was leaning back to hide the hidden weapon, and was exposing the weakness between his chest and abdomen. At this time, it was not easy to dodge, so he turned back and kicked Liu Zhongyi's right wrist at the same time.

Liu Zhongyi withdrew this pose, turned around along the way of strength, the dagger flashed coldly, and slashed towards his neck.

After turning over, Qi Su raised his hand, the long sword narrowly blocked the edge, and then the sword energy in his palm surged, and he forced his true energy to collide with him.

His internal energy is very fierce, Liu Zhongyi had suffered some internal injuries earlier, now his breath collided, and he felt stagnation in his chest, but he had no time to adjust his breath to relieve the depression, so he could only use a little skillful force, trying to separate from his weapon.

Qi Su pressed on every step of the way, and the sword's power poured down like a violent wind and rain, dancing with a silver light.

Liu Zhongyi gradually felt that he was invincible, but he just gritted his teeth to hold on, his breathing was very difficult, and his chest was painful as if being cut by an invisible blade.

After a stalemate for a while, Qi Su forced him back a step with a sharp sword, but instead of relentlessly chasing him, he pointed his sword towards Jian Moyan's neck.

Liu Zhong saw the situation and took a step forward, stabbing his back with the dagger.

Wen Yan's side was trapped in the battle group, and suddenly he couldn't move his body to stop him. Qi Su lowered his body slightly and let the dagger draw a bloodstain on his back, but the sword in his hand was already on Jian Moyan's neck superior.

Jian Moyan said that although the machine spring in the sleeve was powerful, it could only be used once, so he could not fight back at this time, but his face was still as calm as water, without any fear.

Qi Su won the hand, but he didn't intend to threaten him, he just pressed his palm on his chest and knocked him back a few steps, immediately a man in black came over to grab him and retreated to one side.

Liu Zhong intends to step forward to grab someone, but Qi Su turns around and points his sword at his throat, he sideways avoids it, but Qi Su takes advantage of the situation to slap his heart with the other hand.

Liu Zhongyi raised his palms to face each other, under the collision of true energy, he felt the blood in his chest churning, his throat was sweet, and there was a bloody smell.

Qi Su stabbed him in the ribs one after another with his sword, Liu Zhongyi tried his best to block it with his dagger, but lost his strength due to lack of breath, only heard a sound of "Dang", the dagger was knocked down by him.

Qi Su frowned slightly, finally suppressed his impatience, and stabbed his chest with a sword.

Wen Yan had been paying attention to this side just now, and now he didn't care about those men in black. He threw his long sword to force a gap, and rushed out of the crowd with a few more scars on his body, trying to stop the sword.

But one of the men in black shot out a hidden weapon and hit the crook of his leg. Wen Yan couldn't dodge it. After this blow, he thought that the hidden weapon was poisoned, and his right leg became numb for a while and couldn't bear the force. He knew that Unable to resist Qi Su, he just flew forward and pushed Liu Zhongyi to the ground, picked up the dagger on the ground, and led a few people to roll away from the blade.

The two of them came to a halt on a dangerous slope, Liu Zhongyi managed to calm down his breath, but felt some warm liquid on his hands, when he raised his hand, it was full of blood.

"The owner..."

"It doesn't matter." Wen Yan said something in a low voice, and glanced at him, his eyes were full of complicated emotions that he wanted to say.

Liu Zhongyi's heart trembled, and he turned his head slightly to look at Qi Su.

Knowing that they were powerless to fight back at this moment, Qi Su raised his sword and was about to come over, but Jian Moyan, who had never said a word, called him: "Guardian Zuo."

Qi Su stopped in his tracks, and signaled to those men in black that they don't need to stop him, but just listen to him quietly.

Jian Moyan's face was as calm as water, but his voice became cold for a while: "Xiaoyu is dead."

Qi Su was startled, and it seemed that he stood there for a long time before he realized it, and remained silent without speaking.

Jian Moyan said coldly: "Back then she blocked Xie Miao's palm for you, and you killed her, but you still worked your life for that murderer."

Qi Su clenched the long sword in his hand, and said: "I am loyal to Mingsha Cult, not to Xie Lin. I am the one who is sorry for her. This matter is over. Even if you want me to pay for it with my life, I have no complaints."

"I want you to pay with your life now." Before the words finished, Jian Moyan raised his left hand, and the hidden weapon that seemed to be the same as before flew out of the machine spring again and hit him directly on the back.

The men in black around him didn't expect him to have another move, and they didn't have time to stop him.

Qi Su was about to dodge, but unexpectedly the hidden weapon looked the same as the one just now, but it was actually different, it exploded in front of him, poisonous smoke and silver needles shot out together.

After Jian Moyan shot, he didn't look at him too much, but frowned slightly, looked at Liu Zhongyi and Wen Yan, and signaled them to take the opportunity to leave.

They were surrounded by people in black, and it was not easy to leave. Wen Yan glanced at the steep slope that was hidden by shrubs and vines and could not see the bottom, and looked at Liu Zhongyi questioningly.

Liu Zhongyi nodded, and stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around his back. With a little force, the two of them fell down hugging each other.
