Mortal Bones

"puff!……"

Outside the Xianhu Cave, inside the Baiju Inn, the owner of the palace Liu Chuxuan just poured a sip of wine into his mouth and spurted out all of it.

Just in time to wash the face of the oriole opposite.

"Master, this boy has some strength, but you are not so excited, right?"

Huang Que stretched out his hand to wipe his face and looked at Liu Chuxuan with a resentful look.

"You, see for yourself!"

Liu Chuxuan wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and pointed to the bronze mirror on the table.

"It's just a few steps up, what's there to see?"

Huang Que murmured in a low voice and put his head next to the bronze mirror in front of Liu Chuxuan.

"Alas!……"

Almost as soon as his eyes came into contact with the picture in the bronze mirror, his whole body shrank back, as if he had seen some extremely terrifying scene.

"This kid, you can't walk on a good road, so why are you cutting down trees?!"

Huang Que said with surprise on his face.

"You ask me, I still want to ask you!"

Liu Chuxuan rolled his eyes at Huangque.

"But this doesn't break the rules, does it?"

Huang Que tentatively asked Liu Chuxuan.

"It is true that there is no such rule in the rules of Jiufu, but if Venerable Yuqing is blamed, I will have no choice but to invite him out."

Liu Chuxuan stretched out his hand and rubbed the center of his eyebrows vigorously.

"Why are these guys from Qingxuanzong more weird than the other? Isn't that land in Yunlu Mountain some kind of evil place?"

He then muttered under his breath.

"Master, you can't say that. If my junior uncle finds out, we will be in trouble again."

Oriole pointed to the sky.

When Liu Chuxuan heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched, and then he looked at the bronze mirror as if nothing had happened and said: "The little guy is lucky, Master Yuqing doesn't care about it."

Inside the bronze mirror, Xu Taiping had cut down a plum tree and put it into the gourd.

"Master, is this tree some kind of fairy tree?"

Seeing Xu Taiping put away the felled plum tree so preciously, Huang Que couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

"If it were a fairy tree, could it still be there till now?"

Liu Chuxuan stared at the bronze mirror and replied to Huang Que angrily.

"That's right..."

Huang Que nodded, but before he could say the word "yes", the expression on his face changed again, and he pointed at the bronze mirror and said:

“This, this, this kid, could he, could he still want to chop?!”

Palace Master Liu Chuxuan also saw this scene, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"Why do I feel that this boy came to Xianhu Cave not for the spiritual spring of Yuhu Peak, but for these plum trees?"

Oriole murmured to herself with surprise on her face.

Also holding this idea is Zhao Linglong, who lives in the Qingxuan Sect's Youxuan Residence.

"Senior brother, little junior brother, isn't he planning to cut down all the plum trees on this road?"

Zhao Linglong looked at Qingxiao uneasily.

"Junior brother, he shouldn't do such a thing, right?"

Qing Xiao smiled bitterly and shook his head.

But when he said this, his tone was obviously not so sure.

"I think even if Taiping wants to cut it, it won't be so easy to cut it after climbing a few more steps, and it will be even harder to go up."

Xu Ziyan smiled.

As a leader among the younger generation of disciples of Qingxuan Sect, she has also been to Xianhu Cave Heaven, so she knows very well that after climbing more than a dozen steps, the sword energy flying down from the mountain will become stronger and stronger. It is difficult to even walk a few steps further up, let alone cut down the plum tree on the side.

"That's right, even if you want to cut it, it's not that easy."

Qing Xiao nodded in approval.

While the three of them were having a heated discussion, Lin Buyu just lay on the table and watched quietly, with no intention of joining them.

"boom!"

At this moment, the picture in the bronze mirror suddenly trembled.

When Xu Taiping was swinging his sword to chop down the third plum tree, a fierce sword strike knocked Xu Taiping's sword away, almost causing him to lose his grip.

"It seems that the Taiping tree may not be cut down."

Seeing this scene, Xu Ziyan smiled and shook her head.

"not necessarily."

Lin Buyu, who was lying on the stone table with his hands, rested his cheek on his hands and smiled, still looking at the bronze mirror intently as he spoke.

…

at the same time.

Inside the Baiju Inn.

"This kid, it's time to carry the cauldron up the mountain honestly now, right?"

After seeing Xu Taiping's sword bounced away by the sword energy, Huang Que breathed a sigh of relief.

"You and I still underestimate him too much."

Palace Master Liu Chuxuan shook his head solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Huang Que looked stern.

He had rarely seen the palace master so serious.

Immediately, Huang Que also turned his attention to the bronze mirror, staring at Xu Taiping in the bronze mirror without blinking.

Soon he saw that after Xu Taiping walked up the eleventh step, he walked towards the plum tree on one side holding a knife just like before.

"boom!"

But this time, before he could get closer, a strong wind formed by the sword energy had already hit him.

"Hey!" The moment Chun Hudao drew his sword out of its sheath, the sword energy directly chopped away the strong wind transformed by the sword energy.

But what was different from before was that the sword energy Gangfeng was chopped open and did not disappear. Instead, it split into two and bombarded Xu Taiping again.

This time, Xu Taiping held the stone cauldron with his other hand because he had not withdrawn his sword power, so he could only resist the two sword energy winds with his body.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, Xu Taiping's black ice armor was directly shattered by the two sword qi winds, and his body was also impacted and retreated a step.

If his physical spirit had not been tempered to be strong enough, he would have been injured.

More importantly, after the two sword qi dissipated, several more sword qi winds whistled down from the mountain and hit Xu Taiping again.

Although the lethality of this wind was not great, after being entangled by him, Xu Taiping had no way to cut down trees.

"Shua!" After another knife cut off the sword qi winds, Xu Taiping was about to use his body to resist the impact of the sword qi winds, and then go to cut down trees.

"Zheng!"

But at this moment, the Rusty Lion Sword that had been hanging on his waist suddenly flew out of the sheath automatically and blocked in front of Xu Taiping.
