fairy wife

Qiuqiu fell into a drowsy sleep, listening to someone talking outside.

She didn't sleep deeply, but when she heard the slightly urging voice, she instinctively listened.

She heard Shi'er asking: "...is this true? When did it happen?"

The other person's voice couldn't be heard clearly, Shi'er went on to say, "Understood, I'll go right away."

What happened?

Qiuqiu sat up, pulled her clothes over her shoulders, and when she bent down to put on her shoes, Shi'er had already opened the door.

"woke up?"

"What happened?"

"It's Mingyuan." Shi'er said, "He has been missing for a whole day and night."

Qiuqiu was stunned: "Brother Mingyuan? Did he lose his voice?"

"Yes." Shi'er said, "Elder Zheng found that he was missing when he asked for the medicine to be delivered to him. This kind of decoction is used to take care of his body, and he needs to take it every day, and the time cannot be wrong. The person who delivered the medicine The disciples couldn't find him and reported to Elder Zheng, and the others also searched together, but they couldn't find his whereabouts."

"Yes... Is there something urgent to go out at the moment?"

"He didn't go out, but there is no news, no one can find him, I'll go out and have a look."

Qiuqiu had already changed her shoes, and casually pulled up her hair: "I'll go with you."

Qiuqiu didn't know much about Feng Jiu's situation, but Shi'er was the master of the peak. Since the disciples didn't go down the mountain, they suddenly disappeared within the sect, so something abnormal happened.

"What could have happened to him?"

"Even if he retreats, we shouldn't be able to find his whereabouts." Shi'er seemed to have made up his mind.Without hesitation, he walked out of the gate of Fengxian Pavilion and called out his hand in the air.

A spirit bird flew over and landed in front of them.

The sky hadn't fully brightened yet, and the night wind was chilly, making people's cheeks icy cold.

Qiuqiu's cheeks were flushed red by the blowing, and the sound of the spirit bird beating its wings was so regular that it flew towards the target without hesitation.

Qiuqiu brushed her hair with her hands, and asked softly, "Where are we going?"

"Go to the Ninth Peak."

"The...ninth peak?"

Qiuqiu raised her head.

She had also heard about Feng Jiu's situation in the past few days.Not every peak in the current Nine Peaks has palms.Among the people she knew, Shi'er was the peak master, that is, the palm of the first peak.Lin Su, Guan Wei, Ji Yunting, and a palm master have been retreating all the time, but she has never seen them.Even counting her, that's only six people.There are three more vacancies.

Among them, the palm peak of the ninth peak is vacant.

Mingyuan, why did you go to the Ninth Peak?

"He went there by himself?"

Shi'er shook his head: "After the previous peak master of the Ninth Peak passed away, an elder took charge of the affairs. It is possible...he chose Ming Yuan to accept the succession of the Ninth Peak's Palm Peak."

"The Ninth Peak seems to be very mysterious."

Compared with the seventh peak that no one can find, the ninth peak is of course much better.At least others can find it.But compared with the other peaks, the status of the Ninth Peak is like a hermit.Rarely come forward to undertake any affairs, unknown, silent.The followers and disciples of Peak Nine rarely mentioned Peak Nine at all, so Qiuqiu knew nothing about Peak Nine.

"The Ninth Peak is very important." Qiuqiu put her arms around Shi'er's waist, and Shi'er put his hand on the back of her hand lightly: "Do you remember the executioner you saw last time?"

Qiuqiu let out a cry.

Those people are so impressive that it is impossible to forget them once you see them.

"Could it be...they are from the Ninth Peak?"

"Yes." Shi'er said: "Even if I am the peak master, once I violate the rules of the sect, they will punish me mercilessly and will never follow my own interests."

That would be true selflessness.

Although ordinary people still say: the prince breaks the law and the common people are the same crime.But that's just talk.Of course, it is impossible for the prince to commit the same crime as the common people.But here at Feng Jiu, in front of the criminals, if the master of the peak breaks the sect rules and makes a big mistake, the criminals will treat him like ordinary disciples.

No wonder the Ninth Peak is so mysterious!

"The Ninth Peak is also in charge of other affairs at the same time, just like the trial cave we have been to before."

Oh, not only judiciary and criminal law, but also logistics infrastructure maintenance.

The speed of the spirit bird was getting faster and faster, piercing through the air like an off-string arrow.

A round of red sun leaped out from the mountain top in the east, and Qiuqiu's eyes were immediately filled with golden red light.She instinctively squinted her eyes.

Shi'er's voice was blown to his ears: "Here we are."

Qiuqiu tried her best to open her eyes and look up.

Where is the ninth peak... the peak...?

There are no mountains in sight.

She looked down, and there was a gentle slope below—and then she saw a deep chasm.The chasm splits the entire hillside in two.

The spirit bird folded its wings and plunged into the deep crack like a shuttle.

Pit father ah!What about Feng?

If there is no peak, the slope is not bad... But why the ninth peak, not only is it not a peak, it is actually a ditch!

It is obviously a ditch, but it is called a peak, which is too inaccurate, and it is even more deceptive than selling dog meat.

What did the seniors who named them think at that time?Even though it is Tiaogou, it is named Feng. Do you think that Bafeng Yigou sounds less catchy than Jiufeng?

The spirit bird jumped into the crack, and all the light in front of him suddenly disappeared, as if it had suddenly turned from day to night. It was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

The temperature of the wind blowing on the body also dropped sharply, almost like the cold wind blowing in the twelfth lunar month of winter, cutting the face like a knife.Qiuqiu shuddered, and a warm heat came from Shi'er's palm, which instantly enveloped her whole body.

The further down the spirit bird was, the darker it was around, and in the end there was no light at all.

Qiuqiu felt a little apprehensive. It was so dark that she couldn't see anything.Even if it wasn't so dark and at such a fast speed, it was impossible to see the surrounding scenery clearly.

Qiuqiu looked up, and the ray of light above her head became weak and indistinct.Soon it will never be seen again.

The spirit bird has not fallen to the bottom, how deep is this ditch?

Qiuqiu held Shi'er's hand tightly, and suddenly remembered what someone said a few days ago: "The Ninth Peak... seems to be a forbidden area?"

At that time, she only heard two small talk, and she didn't take it to heart at that time, but now she suddenly remembered it.

Is it wrong for her to follow so hastily?It won't cause Shi'er any trouble.

The spirit bird finally fell to the bottom.

Qiuqiu could hardly see anything in such darkness.As the saying goes, you can't see your fingers when you stretch out your hands, and she can't see her own fingers in such a thick ink-like darkness.

If Shi'er hadn't held her hand tightly, she wouldn't have dared to move at all.

How could the Ninth Peak be such a place?

Don't the people who live here see things with their eyes?

This short period of time.It has already made Qiuqiu feel that the days are like years.

Not only is it dark here, but it is also very quiet, there is no sound at all.

Qiuqiu wanted to ask Shi'er something, but she didn't know how to speak in such silence.

"Let's...don't go forward?"

Shi'er said softly, "Wait a minute."

What are you waiting for?wait?Or wait for someone?

At any rate, with Shi'er by his side, Qiuqiu felt more at ease.

She unconsciously clenched Shi'er's hand even tighter.

I got used to the darkness, and I didn't feel so flustered anymore.Although Qiuqiu couldn't observe the environment.But I can still feel something that I just ignored.

There are some smells here.

Can't tell what the smell is, it's very light.

Ordinarily, it is inevitable that there will be water and tides under this kind of deep stream that does not see the sun. Even if there are formations, the formations cannot completely block the air, and there will definitely be tides.But the wind blowing here is cold, but dry.

That faint smell... She remembered.It smells like green grass.

Smelling the fresh green grass in such darkness certainly made people feel more relaxed.

Shi'er is the peak master.In his own sect, there are still people and things that can make him wait like this. It can be seen that the Ninth Peak is indeed worthy of the name of the forbidden place.

After a long time, Shi'er held her hand and said lightly, "Here we come."

Qiuqiu subconsciously straightened her waist and raised her head.

Although she didn't see or hear anything.

A voice came from the darkness not far ahead: "Peak Master."

Shi'er responded, "Elder Zhou."

A little green light lit up, illuminating the area around where Qiuqiu and the others were standing.

"I understand the purpose of the peak master's visit."

"Mingyuan has already started the trial?"

Elder Zhou was silent.

What trial?

Qiuqiu immediately remembered.

Is it the trial of Zhangfeng's inheritance?

She was a little surprised.

Didn't it mean that among the disciples of Feng Jiu, the disciples of the same generation only have one chance to try to become the master of the peak?

Didn't Mingyuan take part in the trial with Lin Su a long time ago?

Could it be that the Ninth Peak is different?

Most likely so.

The Ninth Peak isn't even a peak.The inheritance of the palm peak is probably different from that of the other palm peaks.

"This is Qiuzhang Peak?"

Qiuqiu was taken aback.

Others called her a girl, vaguely.Although polite, there is a certain sense of distance.

This Elder Zhou directly used the title from his previous life.

Qiuqiu responded with a slow clap: "Yes."

Elder Zhou took two steps forward slowly, approaching the light from the darkness.

He was wearing a gray robe like that of the torturers that Qiuqiu had seen, and he looked very simple.The whole person lowered his head slightly, and couldn't see his face clearly. Suddenly, there was such a person in front of him, and Qiuqiu was really uncomfortable.

"I have a few words to say, Qiu Zhangfeng, please follow me."

Qiuqiu was a little surprised.

This Elder Zhou obviously had never seen her before, otherwise his tone would not have seemed so unfamiliar when they met just now.

Since there was no friendship before, what would Elder Zhou want to say to her?

Qiuqiu couldn't help but glance at Shi'er.

"Just go, I'll wait for you here."

Because of his words, Qiuqiu felt more at ease.

She took a step forward, and the green light above her head also moved forward with her, just illuminating a place two steps away in front of her. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
