Green scales

After Lian Ge left, Yuqin sat in a daze for a while.

He had already lost too much cultivation in just a few years, and although he would often pick up Xia Xinglan's absence to practice in the mountains when he was in Yongshui City, it was far from being able to make up for his vacancy.

The current him is probably not even half of what he was back then.But fortunately, Situ Lingsan gave him some Ganoderma lucidum from time to time for him to absorb, so he could barely be regarded as a "big monster".

Yuqin rubbed his eyes with a headache, the matter of the Pei Mansion was clearly aimed at him, the enemy was unknown, and now he was concerned about Xia Xinglan, so he couldn't do anything with all his strength...

Yuqin thought for a moment, clenched his fists and turned his wrists. When he spread his five fingers out, a transparent bird appeared in the palm of his hand.

"Go to Situ Ling and ask him to come."

The little bird tilted its head, spread its wings and flicked a few times, and the white scale powder fell down one after another. Yuqin raised his hand and threw it, and the little bird jumped up and flapped its wings and flew out of the window without a trace.

I hope that Situ Ling will obediently stop running around in the Wan Yao Temple now.Yuqin sighed leisurely, thinking.

All of a sudden, a bell sounded from far to near, hitting him like a tide from all directions.

This is the demon bell... Yuqin felt dizzy for a moment. The demon bell was mostly used in conjunction with the formation. Once it sensed the evil spirit, it would make this kind of bell sound, making the monsters lose their way in the formation.

Originally, such a small magic weapon would not be able to affect Yuqin, but he just gave Lian Ge a piece of Qinglin, which caused his cultivation base to drop sharply. He was already a little weak, but at this moment he was a little dizzy due to the influence of the demon bell Huhu.

Yuqin shook her head, and began to massage the acupoints distractedly, but the ringing sound could not go away, fluctuating high and low, far and near.Yuqin poured a cup of tea, and just took a sip or two, but suddenly stopped, and saw a black air suddenly rise to the sky not far from the window frame!

The black air quickly spread and expanded, covering the entire Pei Mansion like a dark cloud.Yuqin looked solemn, and slowly got up and walked out the door, frowning and looking up at the soaring black air.

Such a strong demonic aura - definitely not an ordinary monster, and, in that demonic aura, he faintly sensed a trace of familiar power.

Yuqin stood in a daze for a long time, his face suddenly turned pale, and he murmured "So that's how it is", and he knew where the familiar power came from.

He absorbed the demon power on Qinglin.

No wonder, no wonder they have Qing Lin, they must have snatched the Qing Lin he gave to those little demons in the past, he has been making wedding dresses for others all along!

Yuqin looked at the black air with hatred, and ran to the source of the black air without hesitation.

If it is really as he expected, then the snake demon must have practiced for more than a hundred years now!If you only rely on the demon-binding formation, the situation is not optimistic.

Yuqin didn't dare to cast spells, so he had to hold his breath and ran as fast as he could. The voice came from the main entrance, and before he got close, there came a hoarse beast-like roar, which almost pierced the eardrum.

Yuqin didn't dare to delay, panting and ran away, only to see a huge black python biting Xia Xinglan in front of it with its bloody mouth wide open.

Liu Shu moved lightly and at an extremely fast speed, and could only vaguely see a white shadow moving erratically.Liu Shu attacked the giant python with a long sword, but couldn't break through its scales at all, and could only make a harsh metal impact sound.

Due to its huge size, the giant python had no way to deal with Liu Shu who was moving fast, and seeing that Liu Shu couldn't break through its scales, he turned to attack Xia Xinglan who was standing in the center of the formation without any scruples!

Xia Xinglan didn't panic, holding a sword in one hand and holding a yellow talisman between the two fingers of the other hand.The snake monster suddenly opened its mouth and attacked, and the stench came to the face. Yuqin was startled and raised his hand to help, but his shoulder suddenly sank. Yuqin turned around and saw Liange standing behind him, pressing the Holding his shoulders, he shook his head slowly.

"He's not in a hurry, let's just watch the battle." Lian Ge whispered in Yuqin's ear.

Warm breath sprayed against his ears, Yuqin tilted his head slightly uncomfortable, "Where's Pei Yun?"

"He doesn't know how to catch monsters, and staying here is also in the way, so let's get out first."

Yuqin nodded casually, staring at Xia Xinglan with all her attention, her whole body tensed up, planning to help if something went wrong.

Lian Ge looked down at Yuqin thoughtfully.

The black python charged towards Xia Xinglan, but Xia Xinglan narrowly escaped with a roll. The black python smashed a big hole in the ground, and the bricks and tiles shattered and flew out.

When the black python failed in one blow, he was no longer in a hurry to attack, and took advantage of the situation to circle around, hissing out snake letters and looking at the two of them.

Liu Shu rushed to Xia Xinglan's side, and the two sides were at a stalemate for a while.

Suddenly, the black python suddenly turned his head, looked at Yuqin beside the corner, and a golden light flashed in his eyes.

Yuqin looked at him without backing down.The black python stepped back subconsciously, his eyes flickering slightly.

Xia Xinglan's face turned pale when he saw the figure of the person coming, and quickly threw the yellow talisman in his left hand, and then pointed the tip of the sword at the talisman paper and stabbed.

"The speed of the golden light appears to protect the real person as quickly as the Jade Emperor!"

As soon as the formula came out, the surroundings were immediately surrounded by golden light, and everyone subconsciously covered their eyes.Several golden glows flew out from the spell, tightly entwining the black python like chains!The black python struggled crazily, and a black wind blew up during the movement, knocking down all the surrounding roof tiles and smashing them to the ground. Seeing this, Liu Shu hurriedly raised his hand to sacrifice the magic weapon, and immediately formed an invisible barrier around the two of them to protect them. live.

Yuqin hurriedly turned sideways to avoid the flying roof tiles, but when she turned around, she saw that Liange had disappeared. Yuqin frowned slightly, but she didn't say anything. Now that Liange is no longer his subordinate, there is no need to protect him around.

Xia Xinglan saw that the black python was temporarily restrained, and disregarded Liu Shu's persuasion, he swung his sword and split the barrier. Just as he was about to rush to Yuqin's side, a snake tail with a thick bowl fell in front of him, stopping his way, and the ground was smashed A crack appeared, and the black python turned around and roared at Xia Xinglan.

Liu Shu took advantage of the situation and grabbed Xia Xinglan's arm, trying to pull him back.

"Let go!" Xia Xinglan roared.

"Calm down! Take the demon first!"

"Where is Yuqin!" Xia Xinglan wanted to break free from Liu Shu's shackles, but was held tightly.

"The snake demon is bound now, which is the best time! Otherwise, we will all die!" Liu Shu yelled back not to be outdone.

Just when the two were arguing, one of the golden threads on Hei Mang's body was snapped as he rolled over.

Yuqin was startled, and quietly used a formula with his left hand, and a green light took advantage of the gap to shoot at the black python's right eye.

A hoarse and hoarse cry sounded, the black python couldn't help rolling over in pain, and blood spurted out from its eye sockets.

Both Xia Xinglan and Liu Shu were taken aback, but they quickly came to their senses and fought each other. Immediately, the ringing sounded again, and Yuqin hid behind the wall to cover her ears in pain.

"Summon Thunder Jue!" Xia Xinglan roared amidst the loud noise.

Liu Shu raised his momentum in response to the sound, and the two separated on both sides of the black python. Suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the sea of ​​clouds was surging. Where Liu Shu was standing, a golden light shot from the sky with the power of thunder!Seal one side of the black python.

Xia Xinglan twirled three or four times in a row, but he still didn't see another golden light descending rapidly, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

what happened? !Why does Summoning Thunder Jue fail? !

At this moment, the light of the talisman was drawn away, and the black python immediately lost its shackles, and quickly turned into a cloud of black mist and flew up to the clouds.

In an instant, the black mist dissipated, and the cloud also disappeared.The sky over Pei's mansion returned to calm.

"It ran away." Liu Shu crossed the mess and walked to Xia Xinglan's side.

Xia Xinglan stared blankly at his hands, "This is impossible, why didn't the thunder fall."

Liu Shu put his sword back into its sheath, went to the side, picked a big gravel and sat down.Still breathless.

Seeing this, Yuqin hurried to Xia Xinglan's side, patted his cheeks with both hands, and called softly, "Xinglan?"

"The snake demon has escaped." Xia Xinglan said in a daze.

Yuqin hugged Xia Xinglan lightly, turned her head to reassure her, "It's okay."

Yuqin looked around and saw that the ground was covered with gravel and bricks, while Liu Shu was sitting on the sidelines, turning his head to look outside the door from time to time, as if waiting for something.

Xia Xinglan gradually came to her senses, and was slightly relieved to see that Yuqin was well.Then he frowned again, as if extremely troubled.

At this moment, there was the sound of chaotic footsteps outside the door, and the three of them turned their heads to look, only to see Lian Ge and Pei Yun standing at the door, both looking inside the door with expressions of astonishment.

Pei Yun walked in quickly, and when they passed by Liu Shu, the two looked at each other, Liu Shu raised his eyebrows, Pei Yun nodded slightly and said: "I received it outside the city." Liu Shu nodded when he heard this, and stopped talking .

Pei Yun carefully avoided the gravel, looked at Xia Xinglan and asked, "Master...that snake demon."

Xia Xinglan remained silent.

"Run away." Liu Shu said lazily.

"Run away?!" Pei Yun turned pale with shock.

Liu Shu rubbed the bridge of his nose and continued, "Don't worry, I've called some helpers, and I'll definitely get rid of the monster for you today."

Pei Yun nodded anxiously.

"Senior brother! We brought the magic weapon you want, where is the demon?" A girl in pink clothes came in before the sound came, and ran in briskly, and stopped her voice when she saw the mess in the arena. Then when he saw Yuqin and Xia Xinglan standing next to each other clearly, he was stunned for a moment and then let out a scream.

"Junior Sister, why are you always so startled?" Several white-clothed Taoist priests came in one after another. After seeing the situation clearly, they were all stunned for a while.

"Big...big...big brother!!"

"Brother, you are back!"

"Brother, why are you back? I still don't believe Master said you left! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Everyone rushed in one after another, all of them squeezed to Xia Xinglan's side.Xia Xinglan's dizziness was caused by talking one sentence at a time and another sentence at a time.

Yu Qinben stood quietly by the side, holding Xia Xinglan's sleeve with his hands, but at this moment, he was pushed out again and again by the Jianzong disciples who swarmed in, so he could only let go of his hand unwillingly, and was immediately pushed out by the crowd , while Xia Xinglan was surrounded by groups.

Yuqin stood aside, looking at the group of figures, a surge of anger suddenly rose in his heart.

Xia Xinglan, on the other hand, had no intention of reminiscing about the past, and just nodded or shook her head silently. After everyone calmed down, they felt the indifference of the elder brother, and immediately looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Don't go around your senior senior brother, come help the second senior brother quickly." Liu Shu said with a smile.

Then everyone rushed to Liu Shu's side and helped him up. Liu Shu patted his junior sister's head, looked at Xia Xinglan and said, "Look, all the juniors and sisters miss you very much."

Xia Xinglan nodded with a complicated expression.Obviously, he is still brooding over the loss of his talent.

Liu Shu glanced at Yuqin, who was confused, and asked, "Brother, you are still wondering why your spell is invalid?"

"What do you think?" Xia Xinglan said calmly.

"Senior brother's formulas, footwork, and hand formulas are of course not wrong." Liu Shu said in a deep voice.

"So the spell is wrong?" one of the disciples suddenly asked.

Xia Xinglan shook her head slowly, "I carry the spells with me close to my body, and I draw them all with my own hands, so there is no chance of mistakes."

"Since there are no mistakes, how can there be any mistakes?" The younger sister glanced at Liu Shu and then at Xia Xinglan. She always felt that the senior brother had changed a lot in the past few years. She had heard about it before. A man is willing to leave the sect, could it be...

The younger junior sister quietly glanced at Yuqin who stood silently at the side.

"There is a mistake in the formation." A disciple suddenly replied.

Liu Shu smiled knowingly and looked at Xia Xinglan.

Xia Xinglan remained silent.

"Brother, the two formations have been tampered with, do you still want to play dumb?"

Everyone was startled, blinked their eyes, and kept looking back and forth between Liu Shu and Xia Xinglan.

After a long time, Xia Xinglan let out a sigh of relief, and said word by word: "Impossible."

"Is it impossible, or do you dare not think about it?" Liu Shu smiled lightly and looked sideways in Yuqin's direction. "It can destroy the formation every time without being discovered, and only one of us can do it."

Yuqin raised her head, looked at Xia Xinglan and shook her head slowly: "It's not me."

Xia Xinglan showed a hesitant look on his face, and Yuqin's heart felt sour all of a sudden, his chest felt a little dull as if he had been hit by a heavy object.

Seeing this, Liu Shu took a few steps forward, looked straight at Yuqin and said, "Then, where is Mr. Yu from last night to this morning? What are you doing?"

"I've been in the room."

Liu Shu looked sideways at Xia Xinglan, Xia Xinglan nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Yuqin is with me, he won't destroy the magic circle."

Liu Shu said meaningfully, and continued: "Ah, so that's the case, then I can only ask the fox to find out. Mrs. Pei, please go to the secret room and bring the fox out, I have something to ask it .”

Yuqin was not worried, Hu Jiulang must have run away by now, Liu Shu couldn't catch him at all, and this matter had nothing to do with him, let alone any clues to be caught.

"The fox ran away." Lian Ge replied calmly.

Liu Shu didn't seem surprised at all, but just asked casually, "Oh? What's going on?"

"I think it was rescued by the demon, because I found this in the secret room." Lian Ge said leisurely, and then took out a piece of Qinglin with flowing jasper from his arms.

That was the Qing Lin he gave to Lian Ge.

Yuqin's pupils dilated suddenly, and couldn't help showing surprise, and looked at Lian Ge in disbelief.

Lian Ge betrayed him.
