Chapter 62
Lin Qingbai stood where he was, the uncondensed white light in his hand dimmed little by little.
The residual wind of the monster's departure has not dissipated, and Lin Qingbai's clothes are rolled into layers of folds.
Lin Qingbai looked at the scene in front of him, his heart clenched, and the hand hanging in mid-air slowly clenched into a fist and fell to his side.
Maybe it's because he just saw the man in the mirror, the roots buried deep in his heart are already crumbling, and now he saw this scene again...
The details that he didn't care about in the past are infinitely magnified at this time, like a small stone, pierced in his heart.
He couldn't get up or down because of the pressure, and the pain was unbearable.
Monsters are ferocious and violent, they don't know how to advance or retreat, and don't distinguish between right and wrong. Once a war starts, they will definitely fight to the death with others, and there has never been an exception when they give up halfway.
However this time...
Xiao Qi cut off its tongue. According to the character of the monster, even if he himself was smashed to pieces, he would use his sharp claws to tear Xiao Qi into pieces and swallow every piece of his flesh and blood into his stomach.Get rewarded.
Now everyone has fallen to the ground, and the enemies who dare to hurt it have lost their magic power. Even if it only needs to move a finger again, everyone will become its ashes, the meat on the plate.
But it stopped at this time...
He didn't eat the meat when he reached his mouth, he didn't kill the enemies under him, he didn't even guard the gate of Juemen, but when he saw Xiao Qi, he fled as if he had seen a ghost.
Back then, the monster that held Xi'an was smaller, and Lin Qingbai didn't see the expression on its face when it fled.
But now Lin Qingbai thinks back again and again.
The scene of the year overlapped with the scene in front of me.
Lin Qingbai suddenly seemed to understand the expression on the monster's face.
It is fear, it is fear, it is trembling.
correct.
Now the monster is afraid when facing Xiao Qi, but thirteen years ago, when the monster faced the six-year-old Xi An, it was also afraid...
Why is this so...
What is the problem?
The details that Lin Qingbai didn't notice in the past, and the things that he didn't delve into, now seem to be stripped away, and his doubts are becoming more and more serious in his heart.
Lin Qingbai wanted to know the answer, wanted to get close to the truth, so he tried hard to think about the answer to this question, but found that he had stepped into the fog, and the truth became more and more unclear.
Raising your hand is fog, waving your hand is still fog.
One is a mortal, the other is a member of the demon clan......
One is a child, one is an adult........
Lin Qingbai's body felt chills for no reason, his mind seemed to freeze, and he couldn't think of the reason.
He Fangling and the others recovered a little bit of strength, they stood up, and walked towards Xiao Qi's direction weakly.
Xiao Qi was lowering his eyes, arranging the loose bandages on his palms.
He Fangleng walked up to him, his voice was a little weak, but he couldn't hide his excitement and asked: "Young Master Xiao, what kind of magic did you use just now, why did the monster run away as soon as it saw you?"
"..."
"Could it be the magic trick of the legendary demon clan?"
Xiao Qi tied the bandage on his hand, and then said quietly: "I don't know, maybe there is something wrong with the formation."
He Fangling thought for a while and said, "That's right, it might be that we just hit the monster internally, so it escaped...Qiang Man, is there such a possibility?"
Liangyao Chu really thought about He Fangleng's words carefully, nodded and said: "It is indeed very possible, monsters are like people, there are many internal injuries that are not felt at the beginning, and only after a whileFeeling the pain, just a few of us fought around it, and itβs not uncommon to get internal injuries.β
Originally, He Fangling was just saying it casually, but after being affirmed by Liang Yaochu, a person with superb medical skills, everyone felt that what he said was true and began to discuss it.
"I slapped it on the head just now, is that the reason?" Mo Yuluo said immediately.
"How strong is that palm of yours? It's almost like scratching an itch." Liang Yao said with a smile.
"I'm not!"
The monsters retreated, and everyone's physical strength gradually recovered, and they were able to joke a few words in the midst of suffering.
Xiao Qi stood aside, tilted his head and watched them talking, without expressing his opinion.
Only when others asked him casually, he would raise his eyebrows as a sign of agreement.
Only Lin Qingbai stood aside, knowing that this was not the case.
If the monster retreated at this time, it was because of some internal injury.
So what about the monsters in the mortal world in the previous life?And why?
Lin Qingbai looked closely at Xiao Qi, trying to find something strange on Xiao Qi's face, but saw that this person still had the usual expression, not surprised by the retreat of the monster, and had nothing to say.
All the thoughts and thoughts are hidden under the face, and nothing can be seen.
But when Lin Qingbai looked into his dark eyes, he always felt that he should know something, but he couldn't say it...
"Senior Brother...Senior Brother..."
He Fangleng's call came from a distance, and Lin Qingbai came back to his senses and saw that everyone had stopped discussing and looked at him one after another.
"Senior brother, what were you thinking just now? We should go, lest the night be long and dreamy."
Lin Qing gave a Bai En, lowered his head and put away all his thoughts, and when he raised his head, he still had an indifferent expression, and walked in front of several people.
Liang Yaochu asked, "Is anyone injured?"
After this battle, flesh and blood injuries are inevitable, but they are harmless, and since they are about to go out, no one asks Liang Yaochu to help him heal.
Several people walked forward along the canyon and reached the gate.
The door buckle of the gate is two round-headed and round-brained monsters, which are already rusted, but if you look closely, you can still tell that they are iron sculptures of monsters. There is a big copper lock hanging on it. The lock post of the copper lock has a child's arm.so thick.
He Fanglen raised his hand to touch the copper lock, and found that the copper lock was thick and heavy, and it took a lot of strength to lift it up.
He Fangling struggled to pick up the copper lock, glanced at it, put it back, turned around and said to everyone, "This copper lock is solid and as strong as a rock. How do I open it?"
Now there is a problem again.
If in the past they had raised their hands with a wave of mana, the copper lock would have snapped no matter how strong it was.
But now it's good enough that one or two of them can stand and talk, not to mention using their magic power to cut off the copper lock, even the noodles can't be cut off.
Liang Yaochu looked at the brass lock a little annoyed, raised her foot and kicked the iron door fiercely, cursing: "I've come here, and I've saved a fucking hand, it's amazing!"
The iron door was kicked with a muffled sound, pulled back by the copper lock, and then slowly retracted, closing tightly.
Now they are like caged beasts.
There is no danger in the cage, but there is no way to open the lock or get out, so he can only be trapped to death.
Lin Qingbai stared at the door lock and was silent for a while, then said in a low voice, "I still have some mana, you can give it a try."
After speaking, Lin Qingbai took two steps forward, everyone's eyes lit up, and they all took two steps back, only to see Lin Qingbai raised his hand and waved it twice, and was about to wave his mana.
Suddenly, a force grabbed Lin Qingbai's hand.
Lin Qingbai frowned, looking back, it was Xiao Qi who stopped him.
"What are you doing?" Lin Qingbai asked with a frown.
Xiao Qi said: "This copper lock is the gate lock of the ghost clan. With your remaining strength, you will definitely not be able to break this copper lock. Instead, it will be a waste of spiritual energy."
Lin Qingbai struggled twice with his wrist, and broke free from Xiao Qi's palm. He looked at Xiao Qi and said, "In that case, what do you think?"
Xiao Qi looked at his freed hand, raised his eyebrows for a while, raised his head and looked at Lin Qingbai with unclear eyesight, and said: "In my opinion, we should combine the remaining magic power of everyone and use all our strength to strikeOnly then can we hope to smash the copper lock."
Lin Qingbai asked: "Who still has mana now?"
As soon as these words came out, Liang Yaochu who was beside her said, "I don't have any mana at all."
"I also
there is none left."
"Me neither."
"Master, I'm gone too...
Lin Qingbai looked at Xiao Qi coldly, did not speak to him again, turned around and started to act again, but heard Xiao Qi say: "Why didn't you ask me?"
"..."
"I still have."
He Fangling asked in disbelief: "You still have mana? Didn't you just have to be..."
He Fangleng didn't finish the rest.
Everyone saw it just now, Xiao Qi tried his best to draw the enchantment, but the enchantment finally fell apart, and he almost died under the palm of the monster.
If it wasn't for the exhaustion of spiritual power, how could the barrier be broken and life and death be on the line?
Lin Qingbai was silent for a while, and said, "What do you want?"
"Together." Xiao Qi said.
Lin Qingbai turned around and said nothing more.
So at the moment when Lin Qingbai's palm drew a white light, Xiao Qi followed closely behind, and waved a red light from his palm. The two rays of light interweaved in the air and injected into the copper lock together.
I saw that the copper lock burst into golden light instantly, and the lock body began to tremble faintly, but the position of the lock did not move at all.
The mana of the two of them was at the end of their strength, even though they were united and poured into the copper lock, they still couldn't split the copper lock.
Lin Qingbai injected a steady stream of mana into the copper lock, his weak face turned pale, and he felt that there was a mana in the copper lock resisting him.
Although the mana is not very strong, but for him at this time, it is going to consume all the mana in his body.
The white light glowing from Lin Qingbai's hands became weaker and weaker.
Everyone took a deep breath.
They dare not imagine that if everyone's mana is exhausted and they can no longer open this copper lock, then they don't need any formations, and they don't need any monster attacks. They will die of thirst and hunger just by staying here for a few daysIf you die, you will never be able to get out of the ghost clan formation.
Lin Qingbai shook his body twice, his hands and feet were so weak that he couldn't even match the position of the copper lock.
At this moment, a pair of big callused hands suddenly grasped the back of his hand.
"Concentrate, calm down, and make the last blow."
Xiao Qi's voice rang in his ears, and then Xiao Qi held his hand, and both hands stuck to the copper lock together.
The copper lock was cold, but Xiao Qi's palm was hot.
At the same time, a powerful mana came out of Xiao Qi's palm, and directly attacked the copper lock through Lin Qingbai's right hand.
Xiao Qi's hand pressed tightly on Lin Qingbai's, and Lin Qingbai could clearly feel the strong vibration of the copper lock.
In an instant, one red and one hundred two lights burst out from the palms of the two of them. Lin Qingbai's hands were much whiter than Xiao Qi's, and the fingertips were also thinner. Looking at Lin Qingbai's hands like this, Xiao QiHis hand was wrapped in it, as if he was about to be firmly pressed into the copper lock.
There was a crackling sound from the copper lock.
But after a while, the cracks in the copper lock became more and more obvious, while the force covering Lin Qingbai's hand became heavier and heavier.
Until there was a crisp sound from the copper lock.
The lock pillar broke directly, and at the same time, the golden light on the copper lock instantly dissipated.
The copper lock shook twice, and fell heavily to the ground, smashing a deep hole in the ground, turning it into a dark gray stone.
Looking at this scene, everyone even jumped up happily.
"Master, you are so amazing!"
"That's right, senior brother, there are magic spells on the copper lock at first glance, but you broke it so easily! It's really amazing!"
The people around cheered, but Lin Qingbai didn't say a word.
He wanted to push open the iron door, but when he raised his hand, he found that his hand was still tightly held by Xiao Qi.
Lin Qingbai trembled all over, as if touching a poisonous snake, he withdrew his hand from Xiao Qi's.
Lin Qingbai pulled back his hand too much, and He Fanglen, who was celebrating, realized something was wrong, stopped talking, and looked at Lin Qingbai.
And Xiao Qi's eyes looked at him even more motionless.
There was an impenetrable light, but in just a moment his eyes returned to their usual deepness, and he said softly with a smile: "Young Master Fu really likes to turn his face and deny people..."
Lin Qingbai rolled his Adam's apple twice, and said softly: "Young Master Xiao has said it, Fu just doesn't like to be in contact with people, and has no other intentions."
Xiao Qi sneered.
The originally relaxed atmosphere suddenly turned to freezing point.
He Fangling quickly smoothed things over and said to Lin Qingbai: "Senior brother, you really are hiding everything. You used no less mana when fighting monsters. In the end, we all lost half of our mana., but you can still split such a big copper lock, how did you do it......"
He Fangling was chattering beside Lin Qingbai.
Lin Qingbai raised his hand and pushed open the iron door.
There is nothing abnormal inside the iron gate, only a cave tunnel.
Torches were lit on both sides of the tunnel, illuminating the cave brightly. Walking in it, Lin Qingbai could feel the power of the formation getting weaker and weaker.
Here, He Fangleng finished talking on his own, and couldn't think of anything else to say.
Several people were walking in the cave, the noise suddenly stopped, and the atmosphere became even more gloomy and scary.
He Fang bumped into Liang Yaochu beside him.
Liang Yaochu also felt that she was not used to it, so she took up He Fangleng's words with rare cooperation.
What the two of you said to me was nothing more than praising Lin Qingbai for breaking the copper lock just now, with great magic power, and saved their lives.
Everyone thought that Lin Qingbai's skill was the main force when splitting the copper lock.
Only Lin Qingbai knew it in his heart.
It's not like this......
At the beginning, he did try his best, but the combination of his and Xiao Qi's mana just made the copper lock tremble.
Gradually, his mana was about to run out, and the strength in his body also weakened. Just when he knew there was no hope, Xiao Qi's mana behind him suddenly increased.
The sudden attack of mana was not even inferior to Xiao Qi's usual mana attack.
Even though the spell was strengthened on the copper lock, it was still completely broken at the moment Xiao Qi exerted his strength.
Β β¦
Lin Qingbai thought about this matter back and forth, only to feel that there were more and more doubts about Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi consumes as much mana as others when attacking monsters, but why does he still retain such abundant mana when everyone's mana is about to disappear?
This shows that his original mana is unfathomable.
It may even be Lin Qingbai who is not inferior to the usual Lin Qingbai at all.
In the fairy world, there are very few people who can have such magical power at such a young age.
What is his identity?
Another point is... He could split the copper lock by himself, so why did he split it with Lin Qingbai? What is this kind of cover up?
Is it covering up his true mana?
Or is he covering up his true identity?
real identity......
Lin Qingbai was taken aback by his own thought.
As soon as these four words came out, he felt that he was one step closer to the truth.
Now he is like crawling on the glacier, there is a big fish under the glacier, he can't see what kind of fish it is, whether it is good or bad, whether it is an enemy or a friend.
The ice of the glacier was very thick before, but now the ice is gradually melting. He only needs to use some more force to break the ice surface, and all the truth hidden under the glacier will float out of the water.
At that time, everything he can't figure out will be solved...
"Brother, we have come to the end of the demon circle."
At this moment, He Fangleng said.
Lin Qingbai was just in a trance, and suddenly felt a flash of light in front of his eyes.
At the end of the cave there was a blinding white light.
As long as they go out from there, they will end everything they experienced in the magic circle.
This magic circle made Lin Qingbai experience it several times.
Life and death, exhausted physically and mentally.
Now it's finally time to end....
Everyone passed through the gate one by one, and then the surrounding objects began to flow rapidly. Under a strong dizziness, several people fell on the lawn one after another.
"Ouch!"
"ah!"
The fall was a little painful, and some people couldn't help crying out.
Lin Qingbai was unlucky, he just fell on a stone, and the stone pinched his waist, instantly turning his face pale from the pain, he arched his body and pressed the painful spot with a muffled groan.
It really hurts...
It was as if a needle had stabbed Lin Qingbai's dysmenorrhea fiercely, the pain went straight to his brain, the pain was so painful that the top of his head was numb.
Not to mention standing up, he couldn't even sit upright.
Xiao Qi landed next to Lin Qingbai. Although he also fell with a muffled sound, he stood up from the ground as if nothing had happened.
He looked coldly at Lin Qingbai clutching his waist and trembling with pain, but he didn't even raise his fingers to help, but just flicked the dust on his sleeves leisurely.
Lin Qingbai's fingers were as slender as onion tips, and he wanted to insert them into the skin around his waist with all his strength, and his clothes were wrinkled layer by layer.
"Brother."
At this time, He Fangling rushed over with the rest of the people. Seeing Lin Qingbai like this, Liang Yaochu immediately raised his hand and injected a green light into Lin Qingbai's body.
Lin Qingbai gradually felt that the pain in his body had dissipated a lot, He Fangleng hurriedly bowed down, and carefully supported Lin Qingbai to stand up.
However, before Lin Qingbai could stand still, Xiao Qi's voice sounded indifferently: "Mr. Fu, if I remember correctly, I saved you again in Juemen, you should be in debt."My life-saving grace."
The rest of the people were all taken aback when they heard this.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, Xiao Qi began to settle accounts clearly.
Everyone was silent in a tacit understanding.
Lin Qingbai looked up at Xiao Qi, knowing that Xiao Qi was referring to the time when he was caught in the tongue by a monster.
Lin Qingbai's eyes still contained tears from just now, but he looked at Xiao Qi very clearly and said: "Young Master Xiao's life-saving grace must be remembered by Fu Mou, and he will definitely return it to Young Master Xiao in the future."
When Xiao Qi heard Lin Qingbai's words, he didn't feel any joy. Instead, he sneered, turned around and said sarcastically, "It's really a great gift..."
Lin Qingbai looked at Xiao Qi's back and lowered his eyes.
He knew that Xiao Qi was not a calculating person, it was just because Lin Qingbai was calculating with him, and wanted to get rid of everything with him, so he began to figure it out.
It's better to calculate clearly...
So as not to increase trouble in the future.
Seeing Xiao Qi walking forward on his own, without waiting for them, He Fangleng hurriedly followed and said, "Mr. Xiao, we are destined to walk along the way. The ghost clan formation has just passed, and the ghost clan palace is even more important."In the face of hardships and dangers, we are stronger in numbers, and it is safer to live together.β
Xiao Qi turned his head and looked at He Fanglend with serious eyes, and then said, "Of course."
Upon hearing this, He Fangleng immediately waved to the Liangyao and Chu people in the distance.
Liang Yaochu was changing Lin Qingbai's injured bandage. She looked up at He Fangleng, then lowered her head and said to Lin Qingbai: "I know you don't trust Xiao Qi, and you don't want to go with him.Can't trust him."
"......kindness."
"Similarly, he can't trust us either, and we're traveling together to ensure each other's safety...Xiao Qi can really help us."
Lin Qingbai understood Liang Yaochu's meaning, and gave another faint grace.
Coming out of the formation, Juemen will send everyone to a random place outside the ghost king's royal family, and they were sent to a forest.
The woods were thick and dark.
A few people walked around like this twice, passed through the woods, and suddenly the light in front of them lit up, and walked out of the woods along the light source. They stood on a hillside, just overlooking the palace in front of them.
This is the real ghost king's palace, completely different from what they saw in the formation just now.
There is no city wall surrounding the outside, no noise of feasting and feasting, only one palace after another, burning warm yellow candles, quiet and peaceful, exactly the same as the palace courtyard in the mortal world.
Lin Qingbai and the others walked down the hillside and saw a palace.
It is the palace of the ghost king and princess.
The princess's palace is not luxurious, it only has a small courtyard.
Festive red is hung on the roof on the ridge, and at this time the princess has changed from the black and red grand ceremony costume, wearing a light pink dress, sitting on a chair against the wall in the palace, with her upper body leaning against the window, staring intently at the lake in the courtyard.
With a delicate appearance, she should be a young girl, but there is some sadness between her brows.
"This is the Ghost King Princess..." He Fanglen asked in a low voice.
"kindness."
He Fangleng looked up at Xiao Qi who was standing a little further away, lowered his head and whispered to Lin Qingbai and the two of them: "Brother, I think it's not easy to find the whereabouts of Ghost Volcano among the ghost clan, and those who know will definitely not."Said, but I heard that the relationship between the ghost king and the princess of the ghost clan is not in harmony, why don't we start with the princess and see if we can ask anything?"
Lin Qingbai thought about what He Fangleng said, and felt that it made sense, and said, "Yes."
It's just that the princess palace is not easy to enter. Although they can see the inside of the palace and the princess, they are actually not close to the princess.
There is a layer of pale black enchantment outside the princess's palace, and the enchantment is still some distance away from the palace, isolating everyone from the outside.
The outside can see the inside, but the inside cannot see the outside.
At this moment Xiao Qi came over, watched them staring at the princess palace, frowned and asked, "What do you want to do?"
He Fangling reacted quickly, and immediately said: "We heard that the princess of the ghost tribe was forced to marry by the ghost king. I couldn't bear it, and wanted to enter the princess' palace to see if we could save her from the fire."
Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't believe it, and then he smiled inexplicably and said: "It's really helpful... Why don't you send the Buddha to the west and help her and her children directly?"The lover elopes."
"Lover?" He Fangling didn't understand what Xiao Qi meant, and asked, "What lover?"
Xiao Qi pouted his chin behind them and said, "There, lover."
Several people turned around and looked, but saw a ghost standing not far behind.
That ghost is the person they met at the ceremony before.
It stands to reason that all the barriers of the ghost clan are protective against people but not ghosts, and at this time the ghost is also separated from the barrier, and cannot enter the barrier for half a point.
His body was transparent, and he didn't know how long he stood outside, staring at the princess in the barrier motionlessly.
"You mean... him?" He Fanglen asked in shock.
Hearing the movement, the ghost turned his head.
At such a close distance, the handsome appearance of the ghost is even more direct and sharp. saw his sword eyebrows and star pupils, his face is stern, and his eyes are very sharp looking at several people.
