mountains and rivers dream

"So, that's Uncle Gui's acquaintance..." Xiao Yu asked cautiously.

The old ghost nodded: "Haha, he was my only disciple in the past tens of thousands of years before I met my little disciple."

"Since he is your apprentice, he is one of our own, so why didn't he come directly and just stay at the Demon Transformation Tomb?" Hu Tao'er still couldn't understand after hearing this, so she simply asked directly.

"Is it because I can't make it?" Xiao Yu also became puzzled.

Doing the math, the journey up to the point where I met Mr. Nausea was pretty smooth. We were now at the edge of the second level of the world. After exiting this level, we passed through the Red Beauty Sword Willow Forest and reached the edge of the sixth level. The Tomb of Demons.

Xiao Yu clearly remembered that when they first met the old ghost in the endless forest, he also explained that he could not pass through the innermost part of the oasis world, which was the ninth level of travel, and needed Xiao Yu's help. .

According to the old ghost himself, each level of the travel world has something to guard against. Although the specific Xiao Yu is still unclear, according to the old ghost himself, the ninth level of the travel world is guarding against some special groups of people.

For example, people like Lao Gui who have had a relationship with Bai Jingyi, the two of them seem to be old friends and enemies. Xiao Yu has never heard him explain in detail from Lao Gui.

The blacklist of the ninth-level travel world was in the hands of Bai Santu, the great protector of the Bai family who was in charge of the defense of the demon clan. Xiao Yu didn't know what conditions the old ghost used as a bargaining chip to remove himself from the list.

"Maybe it's because he can't come in, or maybe it's because he can't come in. If Uncle Ghost doesn't want to see him and disappears without a trace, wouldn't the clues he worked so hard to find be broken again..."

Xiao Yu didn't think that the old ghost was afraid. In her opinion, it was more like he was running away from him.

And the admiration in the old ghost's eyes proved that her guess was right.

The two masters and apprentices may not have seen each other for many years because of something that happened in the past, or the old ghost disappeared unilaterally.

Moreover, this apprentice sounds like the instigator of Wei Wenwei's death. In this case, he can be regarded as Wei Chengshuang's enemy. Therefore, it is reasonable for the old ghost, as his master, to be prohibited from entering the oasis world.

But there might be something else. She had made a lot of guesses, but she didn't have a clue.

She cast a doubtful look at the old ghost, showing great interest in the details here.

But the old ghost failed to fulfill her wish:
"Haha, I'm afraid he didn't come with his true body, otherwise it would be just a second-level wandering around the world, and there would be no way to stop him. Maybe he found a puppet who was not afraid of the demon clan's eyes at all, so he took action openly and killed him. The one outside in the swamp..."

The others became silent after hearing this, waiting for the old ghost's next story.

But everyone was disappointed, because he had no intention of continuing to talk. It was as if he had said so much just to tell everyone that his apprentice was dangerous.

"Haha, it's almost dawn, let's go into the woods. I'm afraid that my apprentice still hates me very much. When we enter the woods later, don't go alone. Look after each other, lest he goes crazy and hurts anyone... "

While speaking, the old ghost had already stood up, and without looking back, he jumped onto the humpback.

Everyone stayed up all night, but knowing that just across the forest of red sword willows there was a person dormant in the swamp whose purpose was unknown, they all became very energetic.

Mr. Nausea showed a very strong reluctance.

Whenever he mentioned this four-tailed Linlong, he mostly gritted his teeth, as if the other person had always been a presence that he particularly cared about in the past few hundred years. At the same time, Xiao Yu felt that he was somewhat afraid of the other person.

But now that he heard that he was dead, he was not very happy. Instead, he looked even more depressed. Xiao Yu guessed that this disgusting gentleman had probably dealt with the other party before and found that the other party was more difficult to deal with than the original Lin Long. That’s why he was so honest and continued to stay in his own lane. Xiao Yu informed others of this conjecture through Gu Chong, especially Hu Taoer and Da Hui who were responsible for guarding and sentrying. But they must be careful about this Red Willow Lord, lest he pretend to surrender and be really shady.

But what she didn't expect was that the old ghost directly gave a positive answer: this Red Willow God Lord must have been in contact with his apprentice.

The old ghost said that this person is competitive by nature. He had fought with Lin Long for hundreds of years without a winner. For a long time, the balance was broken. Then, as one of the two, he changed I'm afraid everyone has to meet the other person face to face to find out the details.

After Xiao Yu heard this reply, he felt even more awkward.

She turned to look at Qin Lin beside her, and what she saw in her eyes was Qin Lin's meaningful smile.

"Do you and Master also think that this Red Willow God Lord was caught by us on purpose?" Qin Lin's voice came from the grain worm, vibrating in Xiao Yu's arms, and then sounded in her mind.

Sure enough, Xiao Yu's strange feeling along the way was finally confirmed by the unanimous conclusion of Lao Gui and Qin Lin.

There is indeed something wrong with this Red Willow Divine Lord.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for a nine-level demon to fail to see the origin of their team.

There are existences like Lao Gui, and there are demon clan existences like Hu Tao'er and Da Hui who are both ninth-level demons and are even stronger than him, not to mention there are late-stage Yuan Cheng masters like Xiao Yu himself. of monks.

After all this, Xiao Yu still didn't believe it, saying that he was not looking for death.

"Then he was deliberately caught by us and almost killed. What was his purpose?" So, this became the only question in Xiao Yu's mind.

"Cough cough!"

At this time, following Wei Chengshuang and Lu Yiran, Lin Keqing, who was in front of Xiao Yu and Qin Lin, suddenly coughed.

"Xiaoqing, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Yu asked nervously when he saw something was wrong with her.

At this time, Lin Keqing's body was a little stooped, one hand was covering his chest, and he looked a little painful.

Her beautiful long hair was floating behind her, but the substitute body that had been cultivated to be infinitely close to the human body was actually a little unstable.

For some reason, a ferocious crack appeared on the neck exposed under the long hair, making a faint cracking sound like cracked ceramic.

Lin Keqing's face was ferocious, which showed that the pain came suddenly and was so intense that she could not bear it.

"Your body...?" Xiao Yu hurriedly came over and was about to call the old ghost, but was stopped by Lin Keqing.

"I'm fine. It's just that I've been a little eager for quick success and quick success recently. This is what happened if I accidentally made a mistake. I'll just take a rest and make repairs after tonight."

Although she said this, Xiao Yu felt that looking at her like this, she was afraid that it was not just a matter of eagerness for quick success in practice.
