As soon as the bell of the attack fell, the entire mountain protection formation was shaken by the spell. At the same time, the system made a rapid noise in Su Qingyi's mind, and said anxiously: "Emergency task! Emergency task!"

accept/accept

Seeing the punishment for failure, Su Qingyi collapsed, and immediately said to Qin Zichen, "Go back and protect the Heavenly Sword Sect as Qingxu!"

"My name is Shizu." Qin Zichen corrected her seriously.

Su Qingyi: "..."

Are you still entangled with her at this time?

But Qin Zichen didn't say much, and rushed out. At this time, tens of thousands of cultivators had gathered at the gate of Tianjianzong, and the disciples of Tianjianzong also rushed out. Hua Li watched the disciples fight from a high place, frowning as if waiting for something.

At this time, the Tianjian Sect was not the first major faction after a thousand years. Most of the disciples in the sect were cultivators of the foundation-building period. Although the people who came were not masters, they were obviously gathered from several factions, and the number of them was overwhelming. In a moment, the disciples of Tianjianzong were forced to retreat into the mountain protection formation.

However, the mountain protection formation was collided with the spells, and it was obviously in danger. The ground inside the mountain protection formation was also shaking, and it was obvious that the spiritual veins were merging with the terrain.

Spiritual energy overflowed all around, and someone shouted: "Hurry up, we can't let the spiritual veins be monopolized by them!"

As soon as the words fell, a huge light group rushed towards the mountain protection formation. Xuanhua twisted the magic formula, and at the moment when he was about to fight back, a blue-robed and white-shirted cultivator suddenly drew his sword from the ground!

It was a slender white jade sword, but the moment the sword was just pulled out, it seemed to bring the power to make the world tremble, as if the king of swords came out of its sheath, and even the sword on Xuan Hua's waist All trembled for it.

The white jade sword slashed towards the light group in a pair of fair and slender hands, with a blue light covering the sky and the sun, splitting the light group in half in a split second, but the blue light did not slow down, all the way towards As he walked away from the horizon, he heard a bang, the ground was split in half on the spot, and the whole audience fell silent.

"Who is Shuzi!"

Everyone present became nervous. There was an old man shouting in the air. Qin Zichen's expression didn't change, and he said calmly, "Tenth generation disciple of Tianjian Sect, Qingxu."

Hearing this, the people of Tianjianzong were obviously relieved, and even Xuan Hua couldn't help but frown. Although don't know where this disciple came from, it is always good for such a master to stand on the side of Tianjianzong.

The old man's laughter came from the air: "Baby Yuan Ying, you dare to be presumptuous in front of this seat!"

As soon as the voice fell, a huge hand suddenly appeared in the sky and grabbed it towards Qin Zichen. Another female voice came out and said angrily: "What are you looking at, do you have to wait for the spiritual veins to completely become the property of their Heavenly Sword Sect!"

The disciples immediately started to slash again, Qin Zichen slashed towards the palm with a sword, the palm quickly changed, turned into a big sword, and slashed towards Qin Zichen.

Qin Zichen used his sword to block the huge light saber, and was forced to retreat by the light saber. The two-meter disc of the Blu-ray quickly appeared at his feet. The light knife slashed towards him, and the two instrument panels spread rapidly. When the light knife touched the outer shell of the two instrument panels, two huge beams exploded in the air, and a gust of wind swept across Qin Zichen's side, and the two beams confronted each other. When they collided with each other, Qin Zichen's expression did not change, he chanted words in the beam of light, and then slowly opened his eyes. At the same time, the sky was densely covered with clouds, the sky was getting darker, and the thunder point was drawn from the sky to the tip of Qin Zichen's sword. In the thunder and lightning, the traces of three petals on the top of the forehead were looming, and the people hidden in the dark seemed to be more and more anxious, and countless flying knives slammed into the blue light outside the two instrument panels.

When Qin Zichen was fighting against each other in the sky, Su Qingyi sat cross-legged on the ground, closed her eyes, and the formation diagram of the Great Array of Protecting the Mountain lit up in front of her eyes. She twisted the magic formula in her hand, recited aloud in the air, transformed the spiritual energy into tangible form, and ran to the various formation eyes of the Mountain Protection Array, constantly moving the positions of the formation eyes.

Soon after, she reinforced the first layer of the mountain protection formation. She reached out and grabbed it, and a disc of the formation started to rotate in her hand. She frowned at the rotation pattern in her hand, bit her fingers, and began to quickly use blood. Patterns are drawn on this flooded array disk.

The mountain protection formation was obviously stronger and stronger, Xuan Hua also saw it, and hurriedly said: "The disciples of Tianjian Sect quickly return to the formation!"

The disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect immediately began to retreat, and a purple-clothed woman suddenly appeared in the air and said angrily, "Who is bad for me!"

As soon as the words came out, a huge jade Ruyi sounded the mountain protection formation. Su Qingyi frowned, pressed the disc in his hand to the ground suddenly, and shouted: "Stand!"

At this moment, the mountain protection formation suddenly erupted with tens of thousands of light arrows shot forward in a salvo, Yu Ruyi slammed on the big formation, causing a mysterious movement, and screams in the Tianjian sect. , Qin Zichen suddenly opened his eyes and slashed with a sword.

The white light came overwhelmingly, carrying tens of thousands of light arrows, as if it was a disaster of doomsday, the purple-clothed woman in the air suddenly shrank her pupils and shouted: "Retreat!!"

At the same time, Yu Ruyi was facing the white light, and a red light burst out at the same time, and an old man appeared in the air, and a huge slap rushed towards Qin Zichen's white light, but the white light had a tendency to break bamboo, and instantly devoured everything.

This white light devoured all the way towards the horizon, and after a long time, when the world returned to tranquility, the scene had turned into a wasteland, and there was no one left. And Qin Zichen, who was in the air, fell straight down, and everyone saw a black-clothed woman jump up, gently embrace the blue-robed cultivator in her arms, slowly float down, and land on the ground of Tianjian Sect. superior.

There was silence for a moment, and then the disciples of Tianjianzong cheered: "We won! We won!"

After speaking, a disciple walked up with someone, bowed to Su Qingyi and the two, and said earnestly, "It's really a blessing for the two seniors to arrive in time. Zong!"

Hearing the other party's words, Su Qingyi raised her head, only to see that it was a thin young man, his brows and eyes were not fully open, but he could clearly recognize that this was the later Peak Master of the second peak, Bai Fuyu.

While he was talking, Xuan Hua also fell down, looked at Su Qingyi and the others gently, first looked at Qingxu and nodded and said, "Qingxu, you did a good job this time."

As he said that, he looked at Su Qingyi again, with a slight smile, as if he understood something: "This is Qingxu's Taoist companion, isn't he? What sect is your little friend? What's your name?"

Su Qingyi was embarrassed, but she didn't deny it. She nodded and said, "I'm going down to Xingyun Gate, Liuhui."

After saying that, Su Qingyi frowned, raised her head and said, "Senior, Qingxu is exhausted now, maybe let me take him back to rest first?"

"It should be." Xuan Hua nodded and handed a bottle of elixir to Su Qingyi, and then said, "The spiritual veins have not yet been fused, and this seat still needs to fuse it with its protectors. You should go to rest first, and wait for the Qingxu injury to heal. I'll send someone to invite you over to discuss the aftermath."

"Follow Senior's instructions." Su Qingyi took the elixir and respectfully spoke. Then he took Qin Zichen back to Wen Jianfeng's house, and quickly fed him some medicine that Xuanhua had given him.

Qin Zichen's face turned pale, Su Qingyi sat beside the bed, frowned at him and said, "Are you uncomfortable?"

Qin Zichen shook his head, thought about it, and nodded again.

Su Qingyi immediately poured medicines for him from the bottle. Xuanhua gave them top-notch medicine pills, and one pill was enough to relieve Qin Zichen's spiritual exhaustion problem. Qin Zichen had already been shoved by Su Qingyi just now. Seeing her move, he immediately put his hand on Su Qingyi's hand. Su Qingyi looked at him with some doubts. Qin Zichen said earnestly, "Just kiss me, that's fine."

Su Qingyi: "..."

"Is he serious?" she asked the system in her mind, and the system was dissatisfied: "I kicked over this bowl of dog food, goodbye!"

After speaking, the lighted screen in her mind disappeared.

Su Qingyi turned her head, looked at Qin Zichen's lowered eyebrows, and seemed to have expectant eyes, and said, "Qin Zichen, to be honest, I will obey you as long as you are provocative."

Then he pressed Qin Zichen against the wall, bowed his head and kissed him fiercely.

After the two of them kissed, Su Qingyi panted, "Is it still uncomfortable?"

Qin Zichen shook his head indifferently, and said in a low voice, "It's not uncomfortable anymore."

"Okay, I'll go out and get some air."

After saying that, Su Qingyi walked out.

When Su Qingyi went out, the disciples of Tianjian Sect were carrying the wounded up the mountain. Bai Fuyu was instructing everyone. Su Qingyi walked up to Bai Fuyu and said with some doubts, "Fellow Daoist, I can ask, what is the answer? Is it the matter?"

"Huh?" Bai Fuyu's eyes immediately became alert, and he said with a smile, "What is the senior asking?"

"That's why so many people came to attack Tianjianzong, Tianjianzong didn't provoke anyone, right?" Su Qingyi followed Bai Fuyu up. Bai Fuyu smiled inexplicably: "My sect and other sects discovered five natural spiritual veins in Wankugu, and they each took one back. Some sects were jealous of the spiritual veins, so they called the door."

"Five natural spiritual veins?" Su Qingyi showed a shocked expression: "Will Jianzong have spiritual veins in the future?!"

"It's not just my Heavenly Sword Sect," Bai Fuyu chuckled: "You Xingyun Sect must also have a spiritual vein. But fellow Daoist Liuhui, now Xingyun Sect probably doesn't need Heavenly Sword Sect any better. With such a big thing as the spiritual vein, it is inevitable to disturb other sects, do you want to go back to the sect to see?"

Hearing this, Su Qingyi was silent for a while. After all, Xingyun Sect was where she was born and raised. Her parents, masters, and siblings were all from Xingyun Sect. When she thought that Xingyun Sect was also suffering from the same disaster as the Heavenly Sword Sect, she felt uneasy, nodded and said: "Friend Daoist said very well, I will go back to Xingyun Gate when the emptiness is better. Before that, it is better for me to strengthen the mountain protection formation of Tianjian Sect. But just now, friend Daoist said that there are five spiritual veins. With the other three, which sects got it?”

"As far as I know, it's Huanyin Palace, Yijianmen and Hehuan Palace. But if they can keep this spiritual vein, I don't know."

Su Qingyi nodded, with a longing expression on her face: "With the spiritual veins, it will become a major sect in the future. I am afraid that the pattern of this world of self-cultivation is about to change."

"That's right," said this, Bai Fuyu became excited: "His Heavenly Sword Sect is bound to rise, and these ten major sects, I am afraid that they will have to change their sects to sit!"

"You should be like this!" Su Qingyi smiled and cupped her hands: "Then go ahead and strengthen the formation first, fellow Daoist is busy first."

"Thank you, fellow Daoist Liuhui." Bai Fuyu saluted respectfully. Su Qingyi nodded, then disappeared in front of Bai Fuyu and came to the back mountain of Tianjian Sect. As soon as he left Bai Fuyu, Su Qingyi's expression sank.

The current situation is very obvious, it must be the five sects of Tianjianzong, Huanyin Palace, Xingyunmen, Yijianmen, and Hehuan Palace to set up that formation, and use the millions of people of Chen country to practice five spiritual veins. In the middle of it, the rumor may have leaked, or there may be a small faction involved in the behavior of their five factions, and now there is an uneven distribution of accounts.

Such an evil formation will definitely be countered by divine scourge in the future. In the next thousand years, these five sects have become increasingly prosperous, which is obviously contrary to the law of nature. What are they thinking of in the middle?

Thinking back to the evil spirit of the Nebula Sect when she died, as well as the ten directions and eight evil spirit formations, as well as the corner of the formation that Su Qinglian painted for her, this formation and this formation of spiritual meridians were just the opposite of the formation. related arrays. Her death was probably also related to this horrific killing.

But how could she have anything to do with such a shocking thing?

Su Qingyi felt a bit of a headache, rubbed her temples, and decided to help the Tianjian Sect first.

She and Qin Zichen occupy the positions of Qingxu and Liuhui, and they must bear the responsibilities of both of them. If Tianjianzong is destroyed due to their changes, or if history changes... Then, it is not just Mei Changjun's death. the problem.

What's more, she couldn't let Mei Changjun die.

She ran around in Tianjianzong for the third night, and finally went back.

Just after returning to Wen Jian Peak, he saw Qin Zichen sitting on the futon meditating.

He has always been a very quiet person, and where he is, everything seems to be quiet. His irritable heart suddenly softened when his eyes touched him, as if he had drifted from the storm to the harbor, which was a feeling he had never felt before. Su Qingyi hurried to him and hugged him. Qin Zichen slowly opened his eyes, hugged her back gently, and whispered, "What's wrong?"

"Qin Zichen," Su Qingyi said slowly, "Thank you."

For over fifty years, it has never been so peaceful.

Thank you for giving me such a life.

Qin Zichen didn't speak, he just held her so quietly.

After a long time, Su Qingyi let go of him, sat next to him, thought for a while, and said, "No, I have to see Changjun."

Saying that, she went to the side and took out a pen and paper, drew a complex spell, then wrote Mei Changjun's name, took out a basin, filled it with water, and threw the spell into it.

After a while, Mei Changjun appeared on the water.

She was lying on a tattered cot, with Shen Fei sleeping beside her, holding a short knife in his hand. Mei Changjun hugged Shen Fei and slept soundly, Su Qingyi thought for a while, and with a big wave of his hand, the scene immediately moved quickly, returning to the time when they left.

Shortly after they left, after dawn, a female cultivator came to the broken temple. Lin Coffin hurriedly hid her figure and watched the female cultivator come in.

The female cultivator was seriously injured, and it was the female cultivator who stopped the two cultivators from the ghoul gate and let Mei Changjun and Shen Fei run away. Mei Changjun and Shen Fei were originally hiding in the dark, but after seeing that it was her, they hesitated for a moment, then climbed out of the dark, and bandaged the wound while the female cultivator was unconscious. After bandaging the wound, Mei Changjun looked at Shen Fei in confusion: "Brother, what shall we do next?"

Shen Fei was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Changjun, I want to take revenge, how about you?"

Mei Changjun looked at him in confusion, Shen Fei gritted his teeth and said, "They killed your parents, don't you want revenge?!"

Upon hearing this, Mei Changjun was stunned. After a long time, she lowered her head and said slowly, "But, my parents don't want Amei anymore..."

Why do you want to avenge someone who has abandoned me?

Little Mei Changjun thought in confusion.

"What about me?" Shen Fei said seriously: "If they kill me, will you avenge me?"

"Yes." Mei Changjun nodded: "You won't leave me, you will always treat me well, it's my family, right?"

"But, they killed my family." With that, Shen Fei's eyes turned red and he held Mei Changjun's shoulder: "Killing my family is more painful to me than killing me. Changjun, Are you willing to avenge my family for me, with me?"

Shen Fei's tears fell, Mei Changjun panicked, and hurriedly wiped his tears for him: "Yes, brother Shen Fei, don't cry, whatever you want, Changjun will accompany you to do whatever!"

Shen Fei burst into tears and laughed, he said slowly: "Then come with me and worship her as a teacher."

So the two children knelt in front of the female nun, and when the nun slowly opened her eyes, she saw the two children looking at her seriously, and the older boy bowed his head respectfully: "I beg the immortal master to accept us as disciples."

The female cultivator recognized that this was the child she rescued last night, shook her head, and said slowly, "I don't accept apprentices, you all go to other places and live a good life." After speaking, she thought for a while and warned, "Before You can't tell anyone about it, understand?"

The two children nodded and insisted on worshipping the female cultivator as their teacher. The female cultivator got up and left, and the two children followed her all the time. The two followed her for a day and a night. Mei Changjun was so tired that she wanted to cry, and Shen Fei pulled her and gritted her teeth: "Changjun, hold on. Let's keep going. To get revenge, you understand?"

She didn't understand, but she knew that Shen Fei was the first person who was kind to her, and the only one who was kind to her and abandoned her at any time.

So she gritted her teeth and didn't say a word, and when it was dusk, the female cultivator finally stopped, made a fire, let the two children sit down, and said slowly, "Are you sure you want to worship me as your teacher?"

"Yes." Shen Fei answered seriously, the female cultivator pondered for a moment, and then said, "But, I cultivate the ruthless way. If I cultivate my way, it is destined to be ruthless, are you sure?"

Upon hearing this, Mei Changjun shouted, "No, no, I like Brother Shen Fei!"

"Then you can't worship me as your teacher." The female cultivator smiled, Shen Fei remained silent, Mei Changjun shouted, "No worship, no worship! Brother Shen Fei, let's go!"

"Immortal Master," Shen Fei slowly raised his head: "Can Ruthless Dao avenge me?"

The female cultivator was stunned for a moment. After a while, she answered earnestly, "Although my Dao is not human, my cultivation speed is very fast. If you want revenge, this Dao is very suitable for you."

"But I hate it."

"As long as you have no love, that's enough."

"Brother Shen Fei!!" Mei Changjun was a little flustered, Shen Fei closed his eyes: "Changjun, you are still young."

As he spoke, he bowed deeply: "Shen Fei would like to worship Immortal Master as his teacher."

"Okay," the female cultivator nodded, "I am Lian Luo, the disciple of the head of Penglai, and you will be my first disciple in the future. This little girl," she said, she looked at Mei Changjun: "Although you and I You don't have the predestined relationship between master and apprentice, but you are a good seedling who cultivates the Yin-Yang Dao. If you want, you can join my brother's sect, how about cultivating the Yin-Yang Dao?"

Mei Changjun was a little dazed, but she thought about it, looked at Shen Fei and said, "Wherever brother Shen Fei goes, I will go."

The female nun nodded, and the next day, she set off with her two children.

When she arrived in Penglai, she led Mei Changjun to see her senior brother Yin Yan. Yin Yan looked at Mei Changjun and said slowly, "It's a good seedling, let's stay."

Mei Changjun was left with Yin Yan, but Lian Luo arranged her and Shen Fei in the same courtyard. Lian Luo loves Shen Fei very much, and he has everything in his room, but Mei Changjun is not treated by slander, the house is tattered and covered with cobwebs. That night, Mei Changjun was frightened by the mouse, and cried and slammed open Shen Fei's door, when Shen Fei opened the door, he plunged his head into Shen Fei's arms and cried, "Brother Shen Fei, don't leave me, Amei. Fear!"

Shen Fei gently patted Chang Jun's back and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Mei Changjun raised his head crying and looked up at the young man in front of him: "Brother Shen Fei, won't you leave me, won't you leave me?"

"No," Shen Fei wiped away the little girl's tears and coaxed her: "I will always be with you. If I don't want you, you cry at me, and I will definitely come back."

That night, Mei Changjun slept with him. She took Shen Fei's hand and whispered, "Brother Shen Fei, I knew from a young age that my parents would throw me away sooner or later. They all told me , girls are worthless, no one wants... I'm very scared..."

"Don't be afraid," Shen Fei hugged her and said slowly: "You are my eldest prince, no one is as precious as you. I will never leave you. You don't need to be afraid anymore."

Mei Changjun nodded. After all, he was a child. After crying for a while, he was tired. He changed to grab Shen Fei's clothes and slowly fell asleep.

Su Qingyi quietly looked at the two people in the water mirror, and seemed to finally understand why Mei Changjun could be attached to Shen Fei for nine hundred years.

What she was obsessed with was not Shen Fei, but herself.

Shen Fei gave her a promise to make her believe that she was a jewel and would not be abandoned again. If Shen Fei really abandoned her, what should Mei Changjun use to resist the inferiority complex in his bones?

She transferred this to Qin Zichen and sighed: "But how can one rely on another person's cherishing to determine whether one is good or bad? No matter whether others love you or not, you must love yourself."

"Even if everyone despise you and think you are worthless, but you should also feel that you are the best and most lovable person in the world. Do you think so, Zichen?"

Qin Zichen didn't speak, he lowered his eyes and trembled his eyelashes.

"Su Qingyi." He spoke slowly, Su Qingyi turned to look at him, puzzled: "Huh?"

"I treat you like a pearl."

Saying that, he raised his head and said very seriously: "Even if you don't love yourself, I will always love you."

Su Qingyi was slightly stunned, and after a while, she lowered her head, and after a long while, she said, "En."

If Mei Changjun was here, he would probably know.

When Su Qingyi couldn't say anything, it was because she had a thousand words in her heart.

The two were silent for a while, Qin Zichen seemed to be waiting for something, but Su Qingyi didn't speak, so he closed his eyes and meditated again.

Su Qingyi thought about it and sat on the ground to meditate. In the early morning of the next day, Bai Fuchen appeared at the door of the two of them, and said with a smile, "The two seniors, the headmaster has a request."
