Chapter 119 No Safe Place
This is a courtyard.
It can also be said to be a room.
Whether it’s a yard or a house, it depends on which angle you look at it.
It is said to be a courtyard because it has a courtyard wall, which is not completely closed. You can enter directly by climbing over the wall without passing through the door; it is said to be a house because it has a shed on it, which is made of bamboo body, bamboo branches, bamboo leaves and sun-dried tents. Made of woven grass, it can protect against wind and rain.
This should be the courtyard or utility room of the inn.
Things that are not needed at the moment but may come in handy someday in the future are piled here by the guys.
Of course, these clutter has now been thrown out.
Under the shed, an open space was exposed. In the middle of the open space, a bonfire was lit. The firewood made a plowing sound in the flames. The flames danced, driving away the darkness far away, giving some comfort to everyone sitting around the bonfire.
At this time, the entire Yunlai Inn building was shrouded in black mist, and a powerful and evil aura filled the black mist.
This side hospital was the only one that never fell.
The reason why it never fell was because of two things.
In the corner of the yard, on the dirt floor that was originally empty, there was a banyan tree swaying its branches against the wind and rain that broke in from outside. It was green and vast, and its rich vitality spread out, just in time to envelope this side yard and resist the wind and rain. The invasion of black fog from the outside world.
After considering this place as a foothold, Mu Qing temporarily took out a seed and planted it. With a stick of incense, the seed broke out of the ground. In a short period of time, it grew vigorously and turned into a tree pregnant with supreme vitality. banyan tree.
Behind the closed door, there is a Xuannv mirror hanging.
The strange thing is that this mirror has the mirror surface inward and the back of the mirror outward. On the back of the bronze mirror is a painting of turbulent waves and a mysterious girl in plain clothes coming on the waves.
This thing is hung behind the door, and even the sound of wind and rain outside becomes much quieter.
This thing belongs to Gu Xiaoman of Lishui Building, and it can also resist evil invasion.
"Knock knock knock..."
Outside the door, there was a knock on the door.
Beside the bonfire, the expressions of the new disciples of Shangjinghua Mansion who had temporarily escaped the disaster changed, and fear flashed in their eyes.
At this moment, they will inevitably think of the days when they were dominated by weirdness in the weird space.
Yes, these guys are all trapped in the strange space like Nie Wushuang and the others. The reason why they are still alive and still here is because Mu Qing and Gu Xiaoman took action in time and each consumed a magic weapon to assimilate the ones that have not been completely contaminated. of them pulled out.
Beside the bonfire, there were only disciples from Qingmu Tower and Lishui Tower.
After getting started, they received talismans with their own auras. Mu Qing and Gu Xiaoman carried magic weapons with them, which were causally connected to their auras. This was the reason why they could be pulled out.
There was no way they could escape on their own.
The disciples of Chihuo Tower also have talisman cards.
However, Bai Xing of Chihuo Tower never escaped from the strange space.
The disciples of Chihuo Tower can only rely on themselves, and they are naturally annihilated due to lack of ability. After all, not everyone is Nie Wushuang.
"Don't be afraid!"
Gu Xiaoman, who was showing signs of exhaustion, comforted the Lishui Tower disciples beside him.
"It's your Uncle Mu who is back..."
After saying that, she stood up, swaying, and came to the door.
The Xuannv Mirror is her protective weapon. If there is a strange knock on the door, something strange will happen, and it is impossible to be as calm as now.
Mu Qing, who could only go out to investigate the situation, came back.
Gu Xiaoman bent down, picked up a string from the ground, and pulled it gently. The other end of the string was put on the door latch. In this way, the door latch was pulled down, making a soft sound. Hearing this sound, people outside the door The man then opened the courtyard door and walked in.
It was indeed Mu Qing.
Behind Mu Qing, there were several others.
Lu Xueyun followed Mu Qing and walked in holding a white human-shaped cocoon.
Nie Wushuang walked at the back holding Ding Dazhuang in one hand and Guo Lin in the other.
After entering, Mu Qing turned back and closed the courtyard door.
"Where's Junior Brother Bai?"
Gu Xiaoman asked.
Mu Qing turned around and shook his head.
Gu Xiaoman's face showed disappointment.
It's not that she has any feelings for Bai Xing. A guy who doesn't know who his suitor is is not worth worrying about.
However, Tian Xing is also a divine martial artist after all, and Chi Huo Lou's mental skills are more advantageous when facing strange things. With him here, it can be a help to some extent, and he can probably survive the night. As long as the sky clears and the sun comes out, There will be a chance to leave.
Without a day star, the night would be difficult.
Nie Wushuang knew the whereabouts of Tianxing.
Obviously, he couldn't tell.
Otherwise, we would inevitably have to explain why a divine martial artist was there, but you, a mere little guy in the Qi and Blood Realm, could still be alive?
There is no way to explain this!
"Junior Sister Gu, you also come to take a look..."
When they came to the bonfire and asked the disciples to move aside, Nie Wushuang and Lu Xueyun put Ding Dazhuang, Guo Lin and Bai Yuzi down. There were three temporary wooden boards placed on the ground, and they were placed on the wooden boards.
"People from Shangyang Tower?"
Only then did Gu Xiaoman see clearly.
His expression was just like Mu Qing's before, inexplicably surprised.
At first, she thought Mu Qing had found a Qingmu Tower disciple.
The few people in Shangyang Tower had long been on her death list. After all, two inner strength martial arts masters and four Qi and blood realm disciples were in such a dangerous place. Without the help of divine will martial arts masters, there was only one way to die.
"Junior Sister Gu, do you still have the True Yang Pill there?"
Mu Qing said.
True Yang Pill is a special kind of elixir that is not helpful for cultivation, but it is very useful for people who are polluted by strange smells. Taking it can activate the human body's qi and blood, just like pouring gasoline on a campfire, allowing the yang energy to flow. Explodes instantly.
In this way, the cold breath in the body can be dispelled.
These disciples in the courtyard were more or less contaminated by the strange aura. After being pulled out by the two divine martial arts masters, they took the True Yang Pill. Those who survived are all here, and those who couldn't survive have been dealt with.
"There are a few more..."
Gu Xiaoman said as he took out the porcelain bottle from the treasure bag.
In this world, monsters and monsters are rampant, and they appear from time to time.
Basically, whenever the disciples of slightly more powerful sects and aristocratic families go out, they will carry the True Yang Pill with them.
After all, this thing can save lives at critical moments.
The conditions of Guo Lin and Ding Dazhuang are obvious. They are both strangely contaminated. Ding Dazhuang seems to be more serious. He has his eyes open, but his eyeballs are turned up, revealing a pair of white eyes. Guo Lin has his eyes closed, with his eyeballs under his eyelids. It seems to be rolling rapidly.
Nie Wushuang took it upon himself to administer the True Yang Pill to the two of them.
Next, whether these two guys can wake up smoothly depends on their own willpower.
"Tiancanyi..."
The cocoon made of white silk thread is called Tiancanyi. It is also a magic weapon that can cover one's own aura at critical moments.
However, there is a drawback. People wrapped in Tiancanyi will also fall into a state of suspended animation.
After the strange aura dies, Tiancanyi will automatically leave. If the strange aura is always there and poses a threat to the people in the cocoon, it will always remain in the cocoon state, and the people inside will not be able to survive in this state for long.
Gu Xiaoman stretched out her hand and pressed it on the cocoon.
A stream of water gushes out from the palm of the hand, soaking the cocoon in an instant. The white silk thread melts immediately, breaking away from the shape of the cocoon and turning into a small white thread, like a ball of white wool.
The cocoon disappears, and the person inside reveals his true appearance.
It was Xu Danfeng.
"After a while, she will wake up on her own!"
Afterwards, Mu Qing called Nie Wushuang aside.
What is supposed to come will come!
An apprentice in the Qi and Blood Realm can not only break free from the influence of the treacherous realm, but also rescue his companions at critical moments. This kind of decisiveness, action, and ability to do this is not something ordinary people can possess.
people?
Or a monster?
The other party will inevitably have doubts.
After all, most weirdness is wrapped in human skin.
"May I have your name?"
Mu Qing asked from a corner of the yard.
The reason why he asked after returning here instead of outside was simply that the outside was getting more and more dangerous and Mu Qing could not be distracted from doing these things.
Back here, with the blessing of the magic weapon, it is barely safe.
Mu Qing just had time to ask questions.
"Nie Wushuang."
Nie Wushuang replied.
After a pause, Mu Qing nodded.
"Good name!"
After that, he continued to ask.
"Nie Wushuang, what did you encounter and how did you stay awake? Can you tell me in detail?"
Tell me?
say what?
Tell the other party that you have divine will?
To tell the truth, Mu Qing might not believe it!
However, before entering the door, Nie Wushuang had predicted the current situation and made a response plan accordingly.
That is, no matter what kind of inquiry you face, you won’t know anything about it.
The current situation in Beijing and Washington cannot be described as falling apart. It would be okay to describe it as strange bedfellows.
Although, they are all forces north of Mount Mount.
The Five Elements Tower and Shangyang Tower have never dealt with it.
Otherwise, when they first met, Bai Xing would not have ridiculed Chen Lei and Xu Danfeng, almost humiliating them.
Mu Qing and Gu Xiaoman turned a blind eye to this.
This would never be the case if the relationship was good.
If you don't tell the truth, you have to hide something.
Presumably, Mu Qing would understand if he knew this.
After all, under the current circumstances, even if she opened her heart to him, Mu Qing would not hesitate at all when it was time to take advantage of him.
Helping relatives but not taking care of children is basically a common human problem.
Between himself and the disciples of Qingmu Tower, he would definitely choose to sacrifice himself.
"I don't know what happened?"
Nie Wushuang said while thinking.
"Senior Brother Chen asked us to rest early. We were a little tired from the journey. I fell asleep quickly. When I woke up, there was no one there. When I walked out of the corridor, I saw Junior Sister Lu sitting in the corridor, and then I saw the headless one. Senior Brother Chen..."
"Later, a thunderbolt fell from the sky, and Senior Brother Chen suddenly caught fire. He fell into the yard and was burned alive..."
"Junior sister Lu and I found Guo Lin and the white cocoon hanging on the beam in the room at the end of the corridor, and found Ding Dazhuang in the cabinet door. After a lot of effort, we found that there was black mist filling the building. Then he jumped down..."
"At this time, Uncle Mu, you are here!"
Nie Wushuang said so.
After finishing speaking, he looked at Mu Qing timidly.
What nonsense!
That makes no sense!
Mu Qing knew that Nie Wushuang was lying without even needing a lie detector. There must be some secret hidden in this kid.
Could it be the true seed of Shangyang Tower?
Each building has a specific true seed, which is a genius who will definitely be able to advance to the divine will, and it will be easy to turn evil into reality.
In this way, they will be taken care of.
When in the Qi and Blood Realm, he will carry a magical weapon with the power of the ancestor.
Although Shangyang Tower has declined and has no high-level combat power, its ancestors were once rich. Among the twelve floors of Shangjing Huafu, the only Tianzun came from Shangyang Tower, and there are probably many treasures preserved in the building.
It is reasonable to give a specific true seed for self-defense.
After all, what Shangyang Tower lacks now is a super genius who can practice the powerful ancestral skills to the perfect state.
Once you meet one, you will definitely treat him like a pearl.
However, if the boy in front of him is really the true seed of Shangyang Tower, why are there only two internal force martial artists around him?
Is it because of that incident...
The Shenyi martial artists in the building can't get away.
After all, there are only two Disha Zhenren and seven Shenyi martial artists in Shangyang Tower now. No, there are six now. Mo Bai has died in Wei County...
Mo Bai is a patrol envoy, responsible for accepting disciples.
He died.
There is no room in the building, so it is necessary to let the internal force martial artist take him.
In a flash, countless thoughts swirled in Mu Qing's mind.
Finally, he came to this conclusion.
That is, Nie Wushuang has a magic weapon to protect himself.
Of course, there is another possibility.
That is, the boy in front of him is a weirdo in human skin. However, if this weirdo can hide from the Xuannv mirror on the door and the banyan tree planted by himself in the courtyard, it is probably not something that the Divine Will Martial Master can resist.
If this is true, he and others can only surrender and let him do whatever he wants.
So, this possibility can basically be ruled out.
"Wushuang, Shangjing Huafu Twelve Floors, originally a family, some things, it is best not to hide, if you want to leave this ghost place, you and I need to be sincere and united, if we conceal each other and do not understand each other, I am afraid that the crisis will come, improper cooperation, and cause unexpected disasters..."
Mu Qing's eyes are sincere.
The voice is sincere and powerful.
There are some truths and some lies in these words. The fact that they are as close as family is false. I hope Nie Wushuang will not hide it and contribute any magic tools he has. This is true.
"Yeah."
Nie Wushuang nodded repeatedly.
"I listen to my uncle. I will do whatever my uncle asks me to do..."
He said it as if no one would say something that would benefit them without spending any money.
"Wake up!"
"Sister Xu is awake!"
Next to the campfire, Lu Xueyun's excited shout came.
"Uncle..."
Nie Wushuang looked up at Mu Qing.
"Well, go over..."
The two returned to the campfire. Xu Danfeng had already sat up, with a dull expression and a dazed look in her eyes.
It seemed that she was not yet fully awake.
At this time, the Xuannv mirror hanging behind the door suddenly shook, and vaguely, there was a sound of waves coming over, getting louder and closer.
The branches of the banyan tree in the corner of the yard suddenly contracted, clinging to the trunk, shaking and trembling.
At the first moment, Mu Qing and Gu Xiaoman's faces changed drastically.
Weird change!
"Disperse!"
Mu Qing shouted.
At this time, Guo Lin, who was lying on the wooden board next to Xu Danfeng, suddenly sat up. He opened his eyes, and there was only black pupils in his eye sockets without a trace of white. His body twisted and he rushed towards Xu Danfeng who was still coming back to his senses.
He opened his mouth.
A black mist escaped from his mouth and was about to drill into Xu Danfeng's body like an earthworm drilling into the soil.
