Shi'er brought back food for Qiuqiu.Open the lid, and inside is a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup, which is so simple that it is outrageous.

But the intention behind it is not that simple.The rice is barbecue rice, and the soup is chestnut and cabbage soup.

This was Qiuqiu's favorite food in the past, and Aunt Lu often made it for her.

Because on the mountain, it is impossible to prepare any complicated dishes. Some game, grilled meat, and spread it on top of the steamed rice.The soup is the material from the mountain. The wild chestnuts are very small, but they are very fragrant and glutinous. It is a bit troublesome to peel the shells.Aunt Lu had time, so she peeled them slowly with her hands. It took half an afternoon to peel a bowl of chestnut kernels.Then break off the cabbage heart piece by piece and wash it well to make such a bowl of soup.

Qiuqiu was not in a hurry to eat, so she picked up a spoon and scooped up a spoonful of soup to taste.The smell was so familiar that she wanted to cry.

"Aunt Lu did it? Did you go down the mountain?"

"Yes, I asked someone to go down the mountain, and Aunt Lu specially asked her to bring it here." Shi'er watched her teary with a spoon in her mouth, as if she had eaten something strange and not ordinary cabbage soup. Like treasure.

It's not a day or two for Qiuqiu to be greedy for meat. Since she went up the mountain, in other people's territory, there is no Aunt Lu who will give her food.Her own energy is limited, and she can't take care of these.

Since Master disappeared and Shi'er left, Qiuqiu felt that her life was dry and lifeless, without taste or color.If you insist on saying yes, it is a dark gray color.

The food must have been put into the box as soon as it was ready, and it is still hot as if it was just out of the pan.

"How is Aunt Lu? How is Aunt Yu? Last time I went down the mountain, I wanted to take some time to see them, but..." I was distracted by the matter of the ancient painting.I couldn't take care of it.

"Everything is fine. They also heard that something happened on the mountain, and they miss you very much."

Qiuqiu nodded, drank a mouthful of soup and ate a mouthful of rice tearfully.The barbecue was marinated very tasty, and it was grilled to the right heat. It was fresh and tender. Aunt Lu must have put a lot of effort into it.Not to mention the soup, the cabbage heart is almost melted in the soup.The chestnuts are so sticky that you don't need to chew them, and the soup exudes the fragrance of chestnuts and the freshness and sweetness of cabbage. Qiuqiu ate the rice cleanly, scraping the bottom of the bowl so that it was shiny, and drank the soup without a drop.

The stomach is full, and the mood also improves.

Shi'er told her: "Take away the bowls. I'll take you out for a while."

"Huh? Where are you going?"

Qiuqiu quickly put away her things, and Shi'er took her hand naturally.Qiuqiu only had time to grab an umbrella and was hurriedly led out the door by him.

Although Qiuqiu has been in Xiuyuan Mountain for a long time, he is not familiar with the situation on the mountain.Lianhuafeng is better, the road to the main peak is a way to the library.She had never been here before Elder Huang, but Shi'er seemed to have been here many times.Pull her out the door and head east along Qingshi Road.

Elder Huang's place is not small.At first glance it looks like the rest of the hill - except with a few tall chimneys.

Shi'er held an umbrella in one hand, and pulled Qiuqiu in the other.Seeing her staring at the chimney, he stopped and waited for her.

Qiuqiu hurried forward and continued to move forward.

Probably because of what Senior Brother Jing Lu said, there is really a ground fire here, so it seems drier and warmer than other places, which is quite different from Lianhua Peak.The usefulness of those chimneys is self-evident.

"Where are we going?"

"Deal with the Heart Eater."

"Ah..." Qiuqiu took small steps and was pulled down by Shi'er before she knew it.Quickly take two steps to keep up: "Is it going to be dealt with now? Didn't it mean that many sects were invited to discuss together? Why is it going to be dealt with so soon?"

Shi'er didn't explain anymore.

Qiuqiu didn't have to ask for an answer either.Of course, this kind of thing has its own head, the elders decide, and it is far away from such little people as them.There was no room for them to interject.

But Shi'er has a lot of face, and ordinary disciples definitely don't have the chance to watch this kind of thing, but Shi'er can get a spot, and even bring her along.

At the end of the road is an ordinary-looking stone platform, which is similar to the regulations of the Zhixing Platform. Along the steps, there are eight stone pillars in the middle of the stone platform, forming a shape of eight trigrams.Although the surrounding snow is so thick, there is no snow at all on this stone platform, the ground is clean, and you can feel the uneven carvings when you step on it.Qiuqiu lowered her head and took a look. The underground seal carvings should be some runes, but Qiuqiu didn't understand the purpose.

There were quite a few people standing on the other side of the stone platform, and they couldn't see clearly from a distance, but from the figure and dress, Qiuqiu could recognize the real master Yuqing, the head of the sect, and the others could hardly recognize it.

Qiuqiu held her breath, not daring to be too casual on this occasion.She asked Shi'er in a low voice: "When will it start? What about the monster?"

"You'll see it right away."

Qiuqiu turned her head to look at the center of the stone platform, but still saw nothing.

But it changed the next moment.

Master Yuqing raised his arm, and the stone pillars in the field suddenly shone with light.The red light is getting stronger and stronger, and the stone pillar looks like it is burning.

"This formation has not been activated for more than 380 years." Shi'er said softly, as if talking to himself, but Qiuqiu knew that he was talking to himself: "I heard that a nest was caught that year and was not caught. The sealed succubus was wiped out by Daoist Meishan at that time, and since then, no traces of monsters have been heard in this world."

But after nearly 400 years, this formation was activated again.

Maybe this world will fall into chaos like it did hundreds of years ago.

This is really not good news.

I would rather be a dog of peace than a person in a troubled world—in a troubled world, human life is as cheap as a piece of grass, and people may die for various reasons or even no reason at any time and anywhere.

Qiuqiu couldn't help but clenched Shi'er's hand.

The red light emitted by the eight stone pillars converged into a point in the center. The red light was too bright for people to look directly at.

However, Qiuqiu still noticed that a black shadow slowly emerged at the spot where the light converged.

It was the Mind Eater.

It struggled in the air, running left and right, but those red lights surrounded it, making it impossible to escape.It moves more violently.The red light also jumped more powerfully.

Qiuqiu heard a shrill cry.

The voice was indescribably unpleasant and harsh, even if she raised her hands to cover her ears, the voice still pierced straight into her mind like a needle.That cry was full of brutal hatred, resentment and fear, like a sharp drill squeezing against his head.

Shi'er glanced at her, and there was a gentle force full of comfort from the hands they clasped.Qiuqiu regained her composure, feeling that the sound was like a glass cover. Although it was still uncomfortable, it was not so ear-piercing.

The Heart Eater seemed to have become a part of the red flame, and the whole body was on fire.

Although it has no actual shape.But this red flame can cause fatal damage to it.

"Is the Mind Eater a very powerful monster?"

"It is written in the book that its ability is above average among monsters."

Middle and upper... Then there must be more powerful and terrifying ones above it.

Just this one Mind Eater caused such a big mess in the sect, and it was only a few real elders who took action together to catch it.

If there are more and more powerful monsters, can the sect handle it?

The red light is getting stronger and brighter.The voice of the Mind Eater was much weaker than before. It was obviously at the end of its strength and would soon be wiped out.

At this moment, suddenly several gray shadows came out from the shadow on the side of the stone platform, Shi'er reacted quickly, and threw away the paper umbrella with one hand.The sword light burst into the air like fireworks blooming, and there was a clanging sound.A gray shadow has been blocked out.

Qiuqiu's actions were far faster than her thoughts.She quickly dodged to stand behind Shi'er, and the two stood back to back.Qiuqiu also drew her sword.

Even if she can't help Shi'er, she won't make trouble for him, and it's good if she can do her best.

At the same time, Qiuqiu also saw the golden ring on her arm.

The emerald green light shines directly from the carved lines on the carved armbands, dazzlingly bright.

What Senior Brother Jinghai said is correct, this bracelet can indeed serve as a warning - just wait until you see the light.I'm afraid it's too late.

How could there be so many monsters suddenly appearing?Where did they come from?Are they all mind eaters?

It was too late to think about this now, Master Yuqing and the others also drew their swords one after another.Flying swords of various colors draw arcs of light like lightning in the air, intertwined into one piece, which looks like a firework show in a festival, with fleeting gray shadows interspersed among them, making people dazzled.

This blinding electric light reveals Sen Han's murderous intent.

Master Yuqing and the others didn't seem to be flustered.Even though those monsters were already prepared to lurk here, but——Qiuqiu suddenly thought, did Daoist Yuqing also expect it in advance, and even dealt with the Heart Eater in advance to lure the snake out of the cave?

If they knew it was so dangerous, they really shouldn't have come here.Qiuqiu is very self-aware. Her current level is not bad, so she really can't help.Shi'er was too distracted to protect her, which was a big burden.

Sword lights criss-crossed, but gray shadows were also elusive.

Qiuqiu squinted her eyes and didn't dare to lose her mind, but after the moment just now, she wondered if those monsters looked down on such small dishes like the two of them, or if they focused on the real person Yuqing. No more swings out.

Qiuqiu lowered her head, she felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't discern it carefully.

Shi'er gave her a hand, and brought Qiuqiu to her to protect her in his arms.

That bumpy feeling under my feet...

Qiuqiu pursed her lower lips and said softly, "There is a formation."

Those seal-carved runes on the stone platform must be useful, Qiuqiu could feel those lines meandering as if they were alive.This feeling is both mysterious and unsettling.

This formation should be used to deal with those monsters.

After thinking about this, Qiuqiu was no longer as scared as before, but she still didn't relax her vigilance.

The head of the sect and the elders had prepared for a long time, but they certainly didn't take into account that they came in unintentionally. Qiuqiu didn't want to be a pair of cannon fodder with Shi'er here. It would be too worthless to die. (To be continued.
