fairy flame

The day turns around, and no one has been in or out of the small courtyard for a few days since Master Yuxuan and Old Ghost Xu came in. In a blink of an eye, it was late on the fourth day since Yan Lingsu cast the spell, and the deadly atmosphere in the city was caused by the heat. The monks in Zhouzhou approached and solidified, almost suffocating, and the wind howled. The Xixia Kingdom located on the western border was cold and cold all year round. In the cold and silent nights, most of the residents in the city stayed at home.

At this moment, in the attic of the courtyard, in a small room with simple layout, Old Ghost Xu and Daoist Yuxuan are standing and sitting in the room, and a layer of faint yellow light is shining near the doors and windows, turning into a dense space. The airtight giant cover conceals all the breath and sound in the hut.

Although the two of them went about their own business and did not speak, their gazes would stay on a closet in the room for a while. Calculated the time agreed at the beginning, it should be almost the same, but on the contrary, until now the underground secret passage has not been closed. There was no movement, and during this period, Yan Lingsu didn't tell the two of them what was going on, which made Xu Laogui start to have some bad premonitions again, with a frowning and contemplative face, which couldn't be concealed, showing a layer of lingering The look of worry.

Wisps of cold moonlight gently shone down, and scattered scattered light fell along the window. In the wooden house, Old Ghost Xu could only hear the crisp sound of his feet stepping on the cold hard wood, which was extremely cold!

Finally, after a ray of black covered the light of the sky and the light in the room suddenly dimmed, Old Ghost Xu, who was pacing back and forth, suddenly squinted his eyes and stared at Yuehua on the ground for a long time, and couldn't help but open his mouth to break the silence in the room. atmosphere.

"Yuxuan said, what do you think of the strict way of your sect? Maybe the old man is worrying too much. Did this girl get the news of the colorful spirit tree from somewhere and deliberately let you and me wait outside, In fact, she has gone out of the city to hunt for treasure?"

Old Ghost Xu turned his gaze to the Taoist woman, and said with some uncertainty.

It's no wonder Xu Laogui couldn't sit still. Firstly, the casting time requested by Yan Lingsu was coming to an end. Secondly, after several days of tossing, this old man had already become a frightened bird. After calmly thinking about the performance at the city gate that day, there was always a strange feeling of emptiness in my heart.

For a spirit like Mr. Xu, there is no room for suspicion.

"I'm not worried about this. Although Junior Sister Yan is a little withdrawn, I haven't heard that she will not keep her promise in these years. Anyway, there is still half a day, so Xu Dao can feel at ease for the time being."

After the sitting daoist woman was stunned for a moment, she turned her eyes and spoke softly and slowly, as if the sadness on her face was not caused by this.

"Did Xu Dao forget that not only you and I have added several layers of restrictions around here, but also those formation shields outside the city gates have been fully opened in the past few days. Within a radius of ten miles, any troubles and grasses are within the palace. Under control, unless Junior Sister Yan can really escape from the ground dozens of miles away in one breath, in order to avoid your and my perception, but tens of miles away has been suppressed by the army of monks from Yanzhou, I don't think Junior Sister Yan will do it for the colorful spirit tree And he didn’t even care about his own life.”

It seems that when talking about this matter, the Taoist woman has already considered it thoroughly, and there is no doubt in her heart.

"All the restrictions outside the city have been activated? When did this happen? Why has Xu never heard of it before? Could it be that the Yanzhou monks have attacked this city in the past few days!"

Old Ghost Xu, who was originally worried about not getting the treasures in Luo Yu's hands, gasped when he heard this, and asked with a chill in his heart.

However, in this old saying, he is quite dissatisfied with the deliberate concealment of real Yuxuan.

"Even if we say so, Dao must still choose to wait here, just like Bengong. As for when the Yanzhou demon will make a move, I'm afraid only God knows, but depending on the situation, even if it's not within a few days, it's not far away." go."

When Daoist Yuxuan said this, his expression was extremely calm. When he saw Old Ghost Xu's face turned pale immediately, the hint of disdain on the face of this Taoist woman in the middle stage of alchemy was well hidden.

"Actually, Xu Dao can rest assured. You and I have made an appointment before. Even if the city is really in danger, Dao and my concubine will definitely be able to teleport away one step ahead of time. Since I always say the same thing, no matter whether you and I are true or not this time. Those who have this opportunity to get the colorful spirit tree."

There was a hint of coldness in the Taoist woman's words. It sounded as if she, the Great Elder of Fengming City, would not fight fiercely with the invading monks of Yanzhou in order to defend the city. road.

Hearing these words, Old Ghost Xu suddenly realized something, and his face couldn't help twitching slightly after he stopped walking, but with the old man's concentration, he immediately stared at the Taoist woman with a low smile calmly and as usual.

"Naturally, Xu can trust the senior sister, otherwise he would not have asked the senior sister to share this opportunity equally, but if the news hadn't been revealed by the senior sister himself, Xu really would have never imagined that your faction would have such courage, and would rather risk the world to do nothing Abandoning those casual cultivators gathered in this city, but secretly teleporting back the high-ranking disciples in his sect without anyone noticing, doing this act of abandoning the car to protect the commander, I am afraid that when your faction finds out that Yanhe and Hezhou have joined forces, Let’s start planning it all.”

It turned out that the monks from the Xi Nu Sect and Lie Beast Mountain retreated to Fengming City and called together the cultivating sects and families from nearby places to integrate, not to save the lives of these people, but to use them as pawns and cannon fodder to stop them a little The progress of Yanzhou monks.

In this way, as long as the encirclement of the enemies in the middle and the border can be consumed for a period of time, the three major sects of Xixia Kingdom will be able to free up their hands to recall the disciples of the three sects sent to the border. , will only become a turtle in an urn.

Of course, there is no way around this method. Anyway, if there are no famous monks from the three major sects to come forward, these casual cultivators and families will be nothing but mobs in front of the menacing Yanzhou monks. If it is death, it is better to let them sacrifice for the overall situation. After all, after the strength is concentrated, they may be able to live for a while longer.

"Yu Xuandao is one of the two great elders in this city. I wonder if I can let Xu know how long Fengming City can last if the monks from Yanzhou attack the city?"

Old Ghost Xu is extremely cunning and hypocritical. One moment he was terrified by the impending war, but the next moment he realized that he was an outsider, he changed his appearance to worry about the turmoil in the world of cultivating immortals.

"These things don't seem to be Xu Dao's concern, but at that moment, I'm sure the Yanzhou monster will pay a heavy price for it!"

On the one hand, the Taoist woman was not optimistic about this battle at all, but on the other hand, she seemed to have other preparations, and her voice was devoid of emotion.

"As a chess piece, one must have the awareness of a chess piece. How can a mature big faction care about the gains and losses of a city and a pool? This is the biggest catastrophe in the history of our Xixia Kingdom's immortal cultivation world for thousands of years. A bloody turmoil happened in the Inevitably, after a hundred years, if our three major sects are still standing, who would dare to say that what we did today was wrong."

The woman in the Taoist robe seemed to have been weather-beaten, and with a meaningful sentence, the matter was lightly covered.

Old Ghost Xu was dumbfounded when he heard this, but when he thought about it carefully, he had nothing to say. He let so many monks from his own country die in vain, but he also said it confidently in Yuxuan's mouth. Such a little bit of compassion was immediately obliterated by his true nature.

Just when Old Ghost Xu had just put this matter down in his heart, and was about to talk about other things again, his expression changed suddenly!

Daoist Yuxuan at the side was even in front of Old Ghost Xu, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and he turned his head to look at the cabinet wall when he noticed it.

The eyes of the two turned around, and then a clear sound resounded outside the house, and the wooden walls of the room opened to both sides, and a white light quickly flew into the room.

The jade slip hovered sparklingly in the room, and there was a trace of Yan Lingsu's breath on the surface, and the two elders naturally noticed it instantly.

Seeing this, Old Ghost Xu was overjoyed without even thinking about it, and even more nervous, he grabbed Bai Guang with five fingers, and a huge suction force was born out of thin air, and he took Bai Guang back into his hand.

The light shone under the palm of his hand, revealing a sound-transmitting jade slip wrapped inside. Without saying a word, Xu Laogui popped out a trace of spiritual power and poured it into the jade slip. Sona's cold voice without the slightest emotion.

"Xu Dao, the ice spirit cold soul has been successfully resolved, and this disciple of your sect has also temporarily saved his life, so Dao can come down."

The voice was short and crisp, and it stopped abruptly at this point, and no more words came out.

"Haha, good! It seems that Fairy Yan is really strong. If the old man can achieve his wish this time, he must thank Fairy a lot!"

The jade slips were quickly put away by Old Ghost Xu, the old monster seemed to be less vigilant after a few tosses, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.
