Chapter 223 Leaving the woods
After doing all this, it's impossible to say that I don't feel panic at all.
But when there are children here, no matter what you think in your heart, you must be calm on the outside. It was also because of the calm faces of the two that Su Yulang, whose hands were stained with human blood for the first time, calmed down little by little and quickly retreated behind them.
When the two of them saw the last trace of fear disappear from his face, they felt relieved.
But it's impossible to just ignore it. After they retreated to a safe place, Bian Qing held Su Yulang's hand and carefully enlightened them: "Alang, tell Eminem, are you afraid?" After escaping all the way, the panic in his heart was actually It had almost been eliminated. When Bian Qing asked him this question, the chilling feeling on his spine came to mind again, and his whole face changed instantly.
But fortunately, the next second Bian Qing covered him with both hands, using his warm body temperature to drive away the chill.
He said: "Emma." Looking at him like this, Bian Qing felt distressed, but he knew that he would only encounter more such things in the future, and it was useless to just persuade him, so in front of him, he When facing Su Yulang's weak expression, his face was still serious: "I know you are scared and panicked, because Eminem is the same." He took Su Yulang's little hand and pressed it against his. On his chest, he could clearly feel his heart beating rapidly under his skin.
"Emma..." Su Yulang suddenly felt a little embarrassed, curled his fingers and wanted to take his hand back.
But Bian Qing didn't allow him to retreat like this, and held on tightly until Su Yulang realized something was wrong. , and keep it in my heart. So I hope you can remember what Eminem says to you next, even though it may make you feel a little uncomfortable." "Emma." With just one look, Su Yulang knew what Eminem was going to say. What happened? His heart began to beat uncontrollably.
"The path of cultivation is never smooth." Bian Qing ignored Su Yulang's mood and said directly: "My father and my mother have told you about the harshness of the current cultivation environment." They had already told you that the end of the Dharma was coming. He had already told Su Yulang, so he was not worried that Su Yulang wouldn't understand what he was talking about.
"The amount of cultivation resources leads to uneven distribution of things to everyone. Therefore, in order to make themselves stronger, cultivators will rob, not only from mountains and forests, monsters, but also from the same kind." He said When he said this, his eyes were very serious, as if he wanted to see into Su Yulang's heart, and Su Yulang was indeed a little calmed by his words.
"So when we meet people like this, we have no other choice but to resist." b★☆y★y "
Your father is an alchemist." Su Yulang is not a young kid who doesn't understand anything, so when Bian Qinggang started talking to him As soon as he said it, he knew that he really should put away the little bit of innocence in his heart. After all, when the group of people took action before, they never thought that they were still children. The murderous intent and greed in their eyes seemed to want to tear them into pieces immediately.
So, people like that should be damned.
The change in his eyes only happened in an instant, but Bian Qing caught it immediately. This made him feel relieved and at the same time eliminated the last bit of discomfort in his heart after killing someone. In order to make Su Yulang further realize the seriousness of the matter, Bian Qing began to analyze the conflicts between them and Da Yue.
"Good alchemists are quite scarce in Da Yue, so for them, your father's existence is also a resource. If our family hadn't been on good terms with the Xiang family, making them jealous, I'm afraid they would have taken action against your father long ago. "Although the group of people came last time and never came back, he and Su Ziyi could clearly see the twists and turns behind them.
But Su Yulang didn't know these things.
Therefore, there was a ferocious look on his face immediately. He clenched his teeth and looked like a wolf cub, ready to bite the enemy's throat and kill him with one blow.
Seeing this, Bian Qing knew that the result he wanted had been achieved. It's just that it's not good to blindly stuff dark things into a child's heart, so he said: "However, you don't have to worry too much. Xiang's family is now on good terms with our family, so in a short period of time that group of people are Don't dare to do anything to us."
"Even if the Xiang family declines one day, it's enough for us to become stronger before then so that others can't bully us." Regarding the relationship between their family and the Xiang family, Under Su Ziyi's influence, he had already seen everything clearly.
And what he said was naturally heard by Su Yulang.
It was also at this time that Su Yulang fully understood that the seemingly friendly relationship in the past was all fake, and that the relationship between their family and the Xiang family was nothing more than a relationship of interest. The key to maintaining this interest is their strength. If you are weak, you can only be bullied and killed at will. If you are strong, you can protect yourself and your family.
Subconsciously, Su Yulang thought of the disaster years ago.
Although half a year had passed, he still clearly remembered the mountains of corpses, the sea-like fire, and the burning smell that had not dissipated for several days... If it weren't for his father's high cultivation, I'm afraid he will also become a corpse there. This is the consequence of not being able to protect his own strength.
At this moment, something in Su Yulang's heart completely changed.
When Bian Qing was enlightening the child, Zhang Wu was too interested to get close to him. And he was not in the mood to listen to those things at this time, because from the time they arrived at the middle level to now, they had not encountered a monster yet, which made him really irritated. So, when Bian Qing and the two finished chatting, he said to them: "Let's continue walking inside." "
Okay."
Maybe it was because they were unlucky enough before, so this time they walked forward not long after They found traces of the monster, which greatly relieved them. However, it was getting late at this time, and the damage caused by the previous battle had not been fully recovered, so after consensus, they decided to spend one night here before leaving.
Early the next morning, after taking a short rest, they followed the traces they found yesterday and reached the monster's lair.
This is a second-level monster. Although it is not very big, it can be sold at a very good price in Qixia Town. Therefore, the three of them did not dislike it at all. The moment they saw the monster, they immediately The knife went away with a bang. After putting them in their pockets, they did not go back home. After all, Bian Qing had a storage bag with him, which was enough for them to pack a few before going back.
Therefore, in the following days, they continued to search for monsters in the middle layer, getting closer and closer to the inner layer, and encountered more monsters at the same time.
"After hunting this one, let's get ready to go back." Two whips strangled Hei's front legs, one on the left and one on the right, causing Hei's body to fall to the ground unbearably. At this moment, Zhang Wuze rushed up from behind with a knife, and the tip of the knife stabbed directly through the back of the neck, causing Hei Bao to die before he could even struggle.
"Okay." Zhang Wu shook off the blood on the tip of the knife and responded readily.
They had gained a lot from this trip, and they might not have to go hunting in the mountains for the next month or two, so Zhang Wu was in an unprecedented mood. Moreover, due to this period of fighting, his strength has been rapidly improved, and now he is faintly moving towards the middle stage of the fourth level of Qi Refining. I believe that it will not take long for him to break through.
The same is true for Bian Qing and Su Yulang.
However, just when Bian Qing was carrying Hei Bao's body and preparing to put it into the storage bag, his consciousness, which had been out there, felt a strange movement, and the movements of his hands stopped instantly. The other two people who were not as conscious as him were a little confused by his sudden action and asked: "What's wrong?"
"Someone is coming, and there is more than one person." He said with a serious expression.
"Then let's go." After what happened a few days ago, Zhang Wu was now very resistant to meeting people in the Meteorite Forest, so he hurriedly urged. But Bian Qing did not respond to his action. Instead, he shook his head and looked a little blue: "Everyone on the other side is stronger than me, and they even have the faint aura of foundation-building practitioners. We can't leave even if we want to. How far."
This time, Zhang Wu's complexion completely changed and became darker than Bian Qing's complexion.
But it was impossible to stay here, so they immediately chose another direction to leave. I don’t intend to put the black bag in my hand. After all, storage bags are relatively rare things. If the other party finds out, even if they don’t intend to attack them at first, they may not be able to point them out when they see the storage bag. will change their mind.
Therefore, it is better to drag it away.
The direction they were heading was in the same direction as that group of people, so when the group of people didn't come to chase them specifically, the distance between them actually became wider and wider until they could no longer feel it. This also made Bian Qing and others breathe a sigh of relief. They felt that the current Meteor Immortal Forest was even more ferocious than before, and even foundation-building practitioners could easily encounter it.
"In all the years I have been in Qixia Town, I have seen no more than three foundation-building practitioners." Zhang Wu's voice was still muffled after escaping from that area.
"I'm about the same." Bian Qing has basically no good memories of foundation-building practitioners.
"Forget it, forget about it." Bian Qing breathed a sigh of relief and swept all these negative emotions out of his mind: "Let's find the right direction to go home quickly." He and Su Yulang had been away from home for so long, and they didn't know How is Su Ziyi doing being alone at home? We haven't seen him for so long, and it really makes him miss him more and more.
"Okay." As long as there is no threat to them, whether the opponent is a foundation builder or a golden elixir, Zhang Wu doesn't care much, so he immediately cooperates with Bian Qing to find a way out.
However, everything in the world never changes according to human will, and the same goes for things.
When they walked out of the middle floor at noon the next day, before they could relax their sore shoulders, the smell from yesterday appeared behind them again, instantly making several people's bodies freeze. This time, not only Bian Qing could feel it, but Su Yulang and Zhang Wu also felt it.
The opponent's speed was very fast. Before Bian Qing and the others could react, they were a long distance away.
In addition, Bian Qing found that the number of approaching auras this time was obviously twice as much as yesterday!
Before he could figure out where the extra double number of people came from, his body was already carrying the two people forward very honestly. But because they had never been to this area before, they could only move forward recklessly. When they walked forward for nearly a mile, five or six people came from the front and blocked them with knives. Although their cultivation levels were not very high, they were only at the third or fourth level of Qi Refining, the malice on their faces clearly told them that this was a robbery team.
Suddenly, the expressions on the three people's faces became a little ugly.
The two parties were confronting each other. Before the other party could say the opening words, the people behind him had already caught up with them. However, because the people in front were too weak in cultivation, they didn't notice it at all. Instead, they looked on with pride. Bian Qing and three others. This made Bian Qing and the others feel angry and helpless, but in the end, they still took out their weapons, preparing to kill the people in front of them and escape if the situation went wrong.
Bian Qing still remembered that Su Ziyi prepared a lot of things for him before he left home.
It's just that they couldn't win this battle. Just when the person headed by the other party was about to ask Bian Qing and others to hand over their belongings, the person who had been walking outside finally revealed his true appearance. The leaders were the two foundation-building cultivators. As soon as the heavy aura appeared, the legs of the people blocking the front were so frightened that they became weak, and the weapons in their hands could not be held and fell to the ground.
Bian Qing and the others took the opportunity to retreat to the side, lowering their heads and obediently making way to avoid offending this group of people. After all, judging from the situation in the past two days, the other party must have discovered them, but they have never done anything to harm them. They must have no idea about them. So, it's best for them to be nice.
Therefore, when that group of people actually appeared in front of them, although Bian Qing and others were as panicked as drums, they still maintained their basic humility and stayed where they were. The situation was not so good for the group of people who were frightened before. They all had earth-colored faces and stayed in place stupidly. When the other party looked over, they rolled to the side in pee and trembled.
As Bian Qing had guessed before, this group of people had no murderous intention towards them, and they didn't even bother to look at them when they passed by.
And when more and more people passed by them, and their moods became more and more relaxed, suddenly a surprised voice rang in their ears, making them almost jump: "Brother Bian, what are you doing here?"
Chapter 224 Xiangjia Token
It was Xiang Nanyu who stopped them.
He didn't speak out for no reason.
Just because his consciousness is higher than that of Bian Qing and others, he can clearly detect that there are one or two groups of people with malicious intentions hiding in a secret place not far away, although these people are now attracted by their aura. I was shocked, but I couldn't tell what they would do after they left.
After all, those guys from Da Yue have always been shameless.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a hint of contempt in his eyes.
Bian Qing didn't know this. He was a little confused at the moment and couldn't understand Xiang Nanyu's intention of calling him. But the situation was already like this, and it was useless to think about it any more, so he gritted his teeth and whispered back: "We just came back from hunting and were about to go home." There were about a dozen people around him who were higher in cultivation than him, so He was under great psychological pressure and had to keep his head down.
At this time, someone beside Xiang Nanyu spoke, a white-bearded foundation-building practitioner. I saw him move his eyebrows, and asked with no trace of joy or anger: "What's wrong? Nanyu." "Nothing." This team was not led by him, so he still had to ask the third elder for instructions on some matters. Cai Xing said: "I just happened to see Brother Su's husband and child, so I stopped to say hello." The
third elder also knew about Su Ziyi and his relationship with Xiang Mansion, so his expression immediately relaxed. , said calmly: "Since we have met by fate, let's go together." Since even Xiang Nanyu can detect the group of people hiding in the dark, it is impossible for him as a foundation-building practitioner not to notice them.
After saying that, he continued to lead the people forward. I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but before leaving, he said to the leader of another aristocratic family: "Let's go, Master Su." These words, which were indifferent to the point of indifference, fell into Bian Qing's ears, but they were like
a Shocking thunder.
He had no idea how his body moved. He only knew that by the time he came out of that hazy state, they had already moved forward a long distance. And based on conservative estimates at the current speed, they should be able to get out of the outer range of the Fallen Immortal Forest today.
But this is not good news at all for Bian Qing.
Because he knew he had a grudge against the Su family in his heart, Bian Qing kept his head down, just for fear that his eyes would reveal emotions that he shouldn't show. One of his hands grabbed Su Yulang's person tightly, causing Su Yulang some pain. He hummed subconsciously, awakening Bian Qing, who was a little bit demonic.
Bian Qing quickly apologized in a low voice, but his tone was a little panicked, which immediately made Su Yulang realize that something was wrong. However, there were a group of outsiders here, and it was hard for him to ask Eminem what was wrong, so he just shook his head to express that he was fine. , followed Bian Qing and walked forward with their heads down.
After all, this group of people is a bit fast, and they must do their best to ensure that they are not left behind.
This group of people are all full of blood, and their actions and speech are not hurried. I think they have gained a lot this time. While walking, they even whispered to the familiar people next to them, directly treating Bian Qing and the others as if they were nothing, including Xiang Nanyu. Although such words and deeds seemed extremely arrogant, they greatly relieved Bian Qing and the others.
It was getting late, and just as Bian Qing had thought before, they had already walked out of the outer layer before the sun set, and looked at the Su family and showed no intention of stopping. They must have planned to go back at night.
Such speed inevitably makes it difficult for Bian Qing and the others, especially Su Yulang and Zhang Wu who are only at the fourth level of Qi Refining.
But in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and keep up. When they found that their spiritual power was a little weak, they secretly swallowed a Qi-Replenishing Pill. What they didn't know was that what they thought was a secret move had actually completely fallen into the eyes of the two leading foundation-building practitioners.
The third elder knew their details, so it was okay to arrive.
But in Su Linyu's eyes, this was a bit unusual. After all, Bian Qing's cultivation level was so low that others couldn't figure out Xiang Nanyu's intentions for befriending them, and their attitude was quite kind. This was rare among the children of the aristocratic family, so Su Linyu inevitably got a little extra. Focus on them.
Moreover, foundation-building practitioners have very good memories. Therefore, Su Linyu still remembers that he encountered the auras of these people when they were rushing on the middle level yesterday, but they were far away at that time, so his consciousness could only sweep them past, but even if it was just After a quick glance, he also remembered that these three people had the corpse of a monster beast in their hands.
But now, the corpse of the monster beast has disappeared.
Since they were hunting in the mountains, it was impossible to eat the monster. Even if they did eat it, it would be impossible for three people to eat up such a large monster in one night. As for the extravagant operation of throwing away after eating, the Su family, as a family, cannot do it, let alone three people wearing such shabby clothes?
Therefore, these three people must have storage tools in their hands.
This made Su Linyu realize that the three of them were not simple as soon as they saw Bian Qing.
When Xiang Nanyu stopped to help them out, this feeling became even stronger, which also made him pay more attention to these three people, waiting for them to show flaws.
Sure enough, when they exhausted their spiritual power because they couldn't keep up with the speed, the flaws were revealed.
Qi-Yi Dan is not a rare elixir, it can be purchased in all major elixir shops. But even if you can buy it, it is impossible to buy high-quality elixirs, because those are basically used by people within the family, but the Qi-enhancing elixirs in the hands of these three people are all top-quality elixirs!
Well, even if they were lucky and got it by chance, the quantity couldn't be too much. But along the way, each of the three of them used at least two top-quality Qi-enhancing pills, which added up to more than six. , such a quantity is obviously abnormal. There should be a being behind them who provided them with the best elixirs, otherwise it would be impossible for them to just take these elixirs casually just to rush on the road.
After understanding these answers, Su Linyu looked at the third elder of the mansion with amusement in his eyes.
Sure enough, it's not that simple for Xiangfu's veteran to do things.
He kept the matter in his mind for now and sent someone to check it out later, but he said nothing. However, the third elder of the Xiang Mansion is also a mature person. He can know what Su Linyu is thinking without even looking. After all, it is not like his family has never done such a thing. However, when he thinks that Su Linyu has really found out the identity of this family, he may look a little "pretty".
Thinking of that scene, the third elder burst into laughter.
But just sitting back and watching the other party take Su Ziyi's family back to the Su family, the third elder would not allow it.
After all, what they valued was not just Su Ziyi's promising alchemist identity, but the relationship behind him that really attracted their attention.
Therefore, when they finally returned to Qixia Town after smearing the story, before Bian Qing could take a breath, the third elder came to find him.
"Third Elder." Face to face with a foundation-building practitioner, Bian Qing will inevitably feel a little frightened. But fortunately, the third elder didn't think much about quarreling with them. He directly pulled out a token-like thing from his sleeve and threw it into Bian Qing's arms: "If anyone from other aristocratic families makes things difficult for you in the future, you only need to Just show them this token." After that, he walked away.
His operation caused Bian Qing to lose sight of him before he could even react.
Bian Qing looked at the direction he left in confusion, and then looked at the token in his arms blankly, completely confused as to what was going on. Fortunately, Xiang Nanyu stayed and did not follow the third elder. When Bian Qing was still at a loss, he took the initiative to step forward and explain to him: "This is the order from Xiang Mansion to the boss of the forces below. As long as people from other aristocratic families see this sign, they will know that this force is related to our Xiang Mansion." So, if he accepts this token, won't their family be tied to Xiang Mansion
?
Suddenly, Bian Qing felt a little bad. He subconsciously wanted to return the token to Xiang Nanyu, but was immediately stopped by the other party.
Xiang Nanyu had a nonchalant expression on his face: "This thing is only for the outermost families, it's nothing. And -" He took a deep look at Bian Qing, directly revealing the panic that Bian Qing had been hiding in his heart. Clicked out: "Although the Su family is not an easy family to get along with, they do value face. Even if they find you one day, looking at this token, they will probably not continue to entangle you."
"After all, this involves the affairs of two aristocratic families."
"But -" Xiang Nanyu said it nicely, but Bian Qing didn't believe it. After all, if the Su family really wanted to pursue them, would the Xiang Mansion Would they really argue with the Su Mansion for someone unrelated to their family? Moreover, the token issue is only what the Third Elder and Xiang Nanyu think. The rest of the Xiang Mansion may not think so. Therefore, after hearing this, Bian Qing remained unmoved and refused.
Now, Xiang Nanyu really had a headache.
He also knew that it was really difficult to convince people with his empty words. Moreover, they now hope that Su Ziyi and his family will cooperate with them, rather than expecting that after Bian Qing goes back today, the Su Family Danfang will be empty tomorrow, so he must stabilize Bian Qing. However, Bian Qing's completely uncooperative appearance really made him unable to do anything.
In the end, he had no choice but to say: "No matter what, take it back and discuss it with Brother Su before you decide whether to do it or not." After saying that, he summoned up his spiritual power and left quickly, making it difficult for Bian Qing to catch up. .
"Tsk—" Bian Qing pulled his hair irritably and had no choice but to put the token in his arms.
In all that happened, Bian Qing did not deliberately avoid Zhang Wu. So when there were only three of them left around, Zhang Wu woke up from the shock. He had no idea that his good friend's family was not only involved with the Xiang Mansion, but also with the Su Mansion. This was simply a comparison. Their Zhang family, which had been reduced to only three people, was much more powerful.
For a moment, Zhang Wu even felt an astonishing sense of absurdity in his heart.
Regardless, at this point, it's time to go back. They agreed to go to the shop together tomorrow afternoon to sell monsters, and then they went their separate ways and went back to their homes.
Because he refined the Resurrection Pill and made a big breakthrough in alchemy, Su Ziyi had been studying the pill like crazy while Bian Qing and his wife were away from home. Therefore, when Bian Qing and the others arrived home, they thought that the person who should have been asleep was still working overtime in the pharmacy with the lamp on.
This made their tense bodies immediately relax, and they also felt a little funny.
Su Ziyi, who was too involved, didn't realize that someone was coming into his home. It wasn't until Bian Qing and the two walked outside the pharmacy door that they realized someone was coming. His whole body's aura suddenly changed, and without stopping, he shouted sharply: "Who?" But the next second, his consciousness captured the identities of the two people outside, and his expression immediately became so embarrassing. stiff.
The elixir being refined also turned into a pile of black ashes, but he was in no mood to care about it at this time. He quickly got up from the ground and rushed out: "You are back." He hugged the two of them. He looked up and down in his arms, and after making sure there were no wounds on either of them, he felt relieved.
Bian Qing and Su Yulang, who were tired from the journey, were tired and hungry, and they still smelled of blood. Therefore, after having a short conversation with Su Ziyi, he went to the bathroom to take a shower, leaving Su Ziyi alone to go to the kitchen to prepare food.
Although he was very tired, because he had something on his mind, after eating, Bian Qing pulled Su Ziyi into the room to talk about not sleeping.
During the period of separation, Su Ziyi's busy alchemy distracted a lot of his attention. But even so, when his mind was free, he couldn't help but think about what happened to Bian Qing and the others. He thought that Bian Qing and the others would encounter danger and save the day, but he never thought that they would meet Su again. The family members faced each other.
Reaching out to take the token from the third elder from Bian Qing, Su Ziyi rubbed it for a long time without saying anything. After a long time, he said: "Let's take this token first." "The people of Su Mansion and Su
Mansion We don't know anything about them, but since they have been expelled for ten years, we naturally have nothing to do with them." This was not because Su Ziyi was naive: "Since I said it didn't matter at the time, it will also not matter in the future. ." He turned sideways and looked at Bian Qing: "The Su Mansion will definitely be able to find out our identities, and they will even know what we have experienced before." His words immediately made Bian Qing panic.
"I know, you must be thinking that we should leave Qixia Town as soon as possible. But you have to know that aristocratic families are never single. If we escape, the other party can also let other aristocratic families capture us in other places, so we can't Let’s go, the faster we go, the more strange we become, and the more those people have no scruples.”
