Chapter 193 Stargazing on Broken Bridge
The stars are falling, and the night is getting darker.
Passing through the dense branches, you can see the bright moon shining a faint white light.
Fireflies flew out one by one, and butterflies danced.
The vision gradually faded and everyone regained their consciousness.
Under the tall trees, it looks even more eerie.
Cheng Daojin and Cheng Shuang were in ragged clothes, with black and gray faces.
The fire frog howled endlessly in the distance, attracting other monsters to follow, and for a while the roars of the beasts came one after another.
"But Fellow Taoist Yun Zhonghe?" Cheng Daojin leaned over and saluted, saying: "The grace of saving each other will be unforgettable!"
"Brother Cheng, you're welcome." Lin Bai was very humble.
"I heard from Yang Bing that you were hanging out with Gu Yao, but I didn't expect that you actually learned powerful formations!" Cheng Shuang also bowed and saluted, then stood up straight and said curiously: "Gu Yao is the most rude, how many times have you slept with her? Did she teach him the law?" Cheng Shuang crossed her arms and warned very seriously, "Gu Yao is the most loved by the ancestor of the Gu family, so you have to be careful."
Lin Bai felt that the fox once said that Cheng Shuang was naughty, but he didn't say that he had a bad mouth! Could it be that the fire frog was provoked by you? If the Qiaoshan sect is all such unreliable people, then it’s time to disband.
I heard that the eldest sister of the Cheng family, Cheng Yiyou, is a gentle and virtuous person, and she must be more reliable than Cheng Shuang.
"Cheng Shuang, what are you talking about?" Before Lin Bai could quibble, Cheng Daojin lost his temper.
"Why am I talking nonsense?" Cheng Shuang was also angry, wiped the black ash on his forehead, and said angrily: "I am telling the truth! Yang Bing has long told me that Gu Yao is an indiscreet bitch! Yun Zhonghe Taoist friend is of high moral character and eager for justice, so it must be Gu Yao who got angry!”
"Don't listen to Yang Bing's nonsense all day long! She has a grudge against Gu Yao, and she throws out all kinds of dirty words!" Cheng Daojin still had sense and tried to argue, "Regardless of what Gu Yao is like, Fellow Taoist Yun Zhonghe is the There is a Taoist couple, and he is a noble person. How could he not know the rules and still behave in an obscene manner in front of Patriarch Gu? "
"Maybe! Senior Sister Yang Huan is also an honest person, but recently I heard that she has a pretty boy outside and sends out large and small items!"
"Yang Huan is greedy for alcohol. He may have been deceived. How can you accuse someone of his innocence for no reason?"
"What kind of innocence? I talked to her, and the spring beauty between her eyebrows can't be concealed at all! I bet that she must have gotten some good ideas and found hard-working people, or she forced people to swallow Tiger Wolf Pills and imitated the Jiang family Story! ”
The brother and sister actually quarreled.
Lin Bai rubbed his eyebrows and wanted to persuade, but couldn't interrupt.
Over there, Ye Ruoqing also felt helpless. She pulled Lin Bai and came to the side.
"You see. Even wealthy people may not be reliable."
Ye Ruoqing was really a chatterbox. She pointed at Cheng Daojin and Cheng Shuang, "Speaking of which, what is your name? You are Wang Dabao and Lin Zhuanlun, why are you still called Yun Zhonghe now?" She stared at Looking at Lin Bai, he looked curious and said with a smile: "You have too many names! But the name Yun Zhonghe is still strangely familiar. I remember that the Taoist monk of the Tianchi sect, Senior Sister Pei, was named Yun Shen..."
Speaking of this, Ye Ruoqing covered her mouth.
"Yes." Lin Bai admitted frankly, "I am the alchemist who made the Tiger Wolf Pill and raised her. My real name is Lin Zhuanlun."
"Hey, Brother Lin, you..." Ye Ruoqing looked embarrassed and whispered: "There were many offenses in my previous words, so don't worry about it."
"It's all small things." Lin Bai smiled.
Ye Ruoqing didn't dare to say anything anymore and just watched the Cheng brothers and sisters quarreling.
"Ahem!" After a quarter of an hour, Lin Bai finished watching the play and finally spoke up, separated the two of them, and said: "Stop it."
Sure enough, as soon as the savior took action, the Cheng family brothers and sisters immediately held back.
"We are in a dangerous place, and there are many dangers ahead. This is not the time for bickering." Lin Bai made sense as soon as he spoke.
"Brother Yun's words are very true. Please don't pay attention to my little sister's nonsense." Cheng Daojin said.
"Brother Yun's words are very true. Brother has no brains, so you don't need to care." Cheng Shuang said.
Lin Bai had a severe headache. If he had known it, he would not have been able to save it.
Patiently, he took out the elixir and asked them to swallow it.
There is quite a lot of spiritual energy here, mostly of earth and wood types, which gives it a sense of vitality and is most suitable for healing and resting.
Brother and sister Cheng Daojin and Cheng Shuang finally listened to the advice, each changed into clean clothes and meditated to recover.
Lin Bai asked Ye Ruoqing to be the guard, while he went out alone to inspect the surrounding area.
Within five miles of the patrol, there are only a few monsters and they are not a threat.
Lin Bai followed the original path and headed to the place where he had previously set up his formation.
The seven red-backed fire frogs had disappeared, the formation flags were all knocked to the ground, and the trees everywhere were broken and in a mess.
After collecting the formation flag, Lin Bai turned around again and then returned to the original route.
Arriving at the resting place of the Cheng brothers and sisters and Ye Ruoqing.
"Brother Lin, is there anything unusual?" Ye Ruoqing was already familiar with Lin Bai, and her timid nature was fully revealed.
"No." Lin Bai shook his head slightly and sat down to rest.
When we came to the stone plate, everything was normal.
Opening his eyes again, he rubbed the bronze mirror on his waist, took off the wine gourd on his waist, and took two sips.
"Give me some, hehe." Ye Ruoqing took out a root-carved cup from nowhere.
How can we make this trip even though we are still greedy when we are in a dangerous situation? Lin Bai poured her a glass, "This is the osmanthus wine from the Yang family in Qiaoshan. It tastes pretty good. In fact, in terms of sweetness, it has to be the monkey wine from Mianlong Mountain."
"No matter what kind of wine, you can always drink away your sorrows." Ye Ruoqing finished the drink nervously. "Do you think I can find him?"
"As long as we have each other in our hearts, we can meet each other even if we cross tens of thousands of miles of blue waves." Lin Bai smiled and gave her another full cup.
"Did you travel tens of thousands of miles to find someone? Did you find him?" Ye Ruoqing was thoughtful.
"I think I found her. Although I haven't seen her in person, I know she is peaceful and happy." Lin Bai smiled.
"You are really worthless!" Ye Ruoqing actually lectured her, "Come here to find her! What are you afraid of? Are you guarded by the golden elixir? Or are you guarded by the Nascent Soul?"
"..." Lin Bai was too lazy to pay attention to her anymore and went to wait in the tree alone.
At dawn, the fireflies disappeared and the butterflies flew in again.
The Cheng brothers and sisters also opened their eyes. They were not seriously injured in the first place, but their spiritual energy was consumed too much.
The two brothers and sisters knew etiquette and thanked Lin Bai and Ye Ruoqing again and again.
"What happened after you two entered the secret realm, and how did you encounter the fire frog?" Lin Bai asked curiously.
"Did you poke the fire frog's lair?" Ye Ruoqing also asked curiously.
"Exactly." Cheng Shuang's face was covered with black ash, and she nodded seriously.
"It's all the little sister's fault!" Cheng Daojin gritted his teeth angrily.
The two brothers and sisters started arguing among themselves again, with Ye Ruoqing interjecting questions from time to time.
After fussing for a long time, Lin Bai finally figured out the matter.
It turns out that the Cheng family brothers and sisters were separated when they first entered the secret realm. However, the two brought Tongxin Yujue with them and found each other within two days.
After the two met, they discussed and followed the galaxy vision deep into the oasis.
After two days of traveling, there were more and more monsters along the way, so the two of them traveled cautiously and slowly. Two more days passed like this, and I saw a fire frog in the Qi Realm.
The brother and sister are certainly not afraid of just Qi-training monsters, and the fire frog doesn't seem to be territorial and doesn't actually attack people.
The brother and sister hid, Cheng Daojin rested and recovered, and Cheng Shuang took on the responsibility of guarding.
However, Cheng Shuang saw that she was not in any danger after entering the oasis, so her vigilance dropped slightly, and her interest returned. She actually lifted a branch and poked the fire frog to play with it.
But the fire frog was so stupid that he just poked and jumped around, but didn't fight back.
Cheng Shuang poked for a while and found it boring. He was about to leave, but the fire frog started to howl.
Then the Fire Frog screamed, and four Fire Frogs jumped out of the Foundation Establishment Realm, including one in the Late Foundation Establishment Realm!
Four fire frogs came to invite their friends and broke the trees to open up the forest. Cheng Shuang was caught off guard. In order to save his sister, Cheng Daojin threw out the talisman to kill two fire frogs, but the remaining fire frogs seemed to have gone crazy. Chasing him like crazy and desperate, the Cheng family brothers and sisters could only run away in embarrassment. "I thought there was only one fire frog, but I didn't expect that a whole family was called!" Cheng Shuang beat the tree angrily.
After Lin Bai heard this, he was stunned. The fox said that Cheng Shuang was naughty, but he really didn’t bully me!
Ye Ruoqing was also stunned. Although she was unreliable, she was an honest person and not stupid after all.
But these high-ranking disciples are extremely courageous because they have something in their hands.
Lin Bai decided to stay away from the Cheng brothers and sisters, lest they cause trouble and bring harm to himself.
"Speaking of which," Cheng Daojin also spoke, "On my way to escape, I caught a glimpse of two people from Jiuyin Mountain in the distance besieging fellow Taoists of Yiyunxia Sect."
"That's right!" Cheng Shuang immediately responded and said solemnly: "At that time, the fellow Taoist from the Yunxia Sect was already in dire straits, clearly unable to support himself. I wanted to implement a plan to drive away the tigers and devour the wolves, and divert the disaster to the east, but there were too many fire frogs, and It's too fierce, and we don't even have time to carry it out!" There was a look of emotion on her face, as if she was sighing.
Ye Ruoqing looked at Cheng Shuang with wide eyes. This was the first time she heard that it could be used to drive away tigers and swallow wolves. Why divert the disaster to the east? The disaster will almost drown you, right?
"We are already on good terms with the Yunxia Sect, and Patriarch Gu and Jiuyin Mountain have not been dealing with each other recently. The two of us should lend a helping hand. It is all our fault that the younger sister is in trouble!" Cheng Daojin was furious.
"What does that friend from the Yunxia Sect look like? Can you name him?" Lin Bai asked seriously.
"I don't know the surname." Cheng Shuang shook his head and said, "But I heard a female cultivator from Jiuyin Mountain call that person 'surnamed Qu'. He should be a member of the clan of senior Qu Chengjia."
Why didn't you tell me earlier? Why didn't you tell me earlier? Lin Bai immediately stood up, grabbed Cheng Daojin's wrist, and said, "Where is it? Point it quickly!"
"Over there!" Cheng Zhijin pointed to the way he came. He also grabbed Lin Bai and said, "Are you going to rescue? Then everyone..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Bai jumped up and fled into the forest!
"Fellow Taoist Yun is a casual cultivator, but he is so eager for justice and does not think about himself, but only thinks about others. He is more active than saving his own sweetheart. It is really rare!" Cheng Shuang praised.
"Exactly!" Cheng Daojin rarely had the same idea as her sister, and she clapped her hands and agreed: "It's time for us to follow and save that senior brother Qu!"
"Me too." Ye Ruoqing knew that the Cheng family brothers and sisters were unreliable, and had no intention of forming a team with the Cheng family brothers and sisters, so he just wanted to catch up with Lin Zhuanlun.
The three of them were about to set off, but saw that Lin Bai had returned.
"You were talking about Senior Brother Qu just now? Not Kun Dao?" Lin Bai asked Cheng Daojin curiously.
"Exactly!" Cheng Daojin looked like he was determined to accompany him to death, "Let's go rescue him now!"
If it were Senior Sister Qu, she should go and do some rescue. But now that he is Senior Brother Qu, Lin Bai has no energy left.
But considering my friendship with Qu Ruyi, I might as well go and have a look, maybe I can find out the whereabouts of Qu Ruyi.
"This matter needs long-term consideration." Lin Bai calmed down again, "Tell me about the situation at that time. What the people of Jiuyin Mountain look like and what magical powers they have."
The Cheng brothers and sisters talked about it, but in the end they didn't know anything, it was almost like farting.
"Okay, okay, let's go when it's time to go." Lin Bai interrupted helplessly, "The four of us must work together and have no different intentions. I am good at refining pills, setting up formations, and can make the fog obscure my vision."
"My magical powers are like boundless falling trees. I can stop and confuse the enemy. I am the best at assisting!" Ye Ruoqing also quickly confessed.
"I am born in the wind and sand, and I am also good at deceiving the enemy to hide his traces." Cheng Daojin said.
"My natural frost sword, my cultivation of ice sword intent, is far better than Gu Feixue." Cheng Shuang said boldly.
No wonder the two brothers and sisters worked together and turned out to be able to cooperate with each other.
Lin Bai had been with Gu Feixue before, and at that time he thought he was stupid, but now when he compares it, he feels more and more that Gu Feixue is a normal person.
Among the descendants of the Sanyuanying family of the Qiaoshan sect, Gu Feixue, Yang Bing and Cheng Shuang's magical powers can be related to Bingxue, which is considered similar. Lin Bai finally knew why Cheng Shuang didn't like Gu Yao. The two co-authors were enemies. Cheng Shuang was not convinced and Gu Feixue was disgusted with the house.
Cheng Shuang seems to be on good terms with Yang Bing, and seems to be more capable than Yang Bing.
The children of high-ranking families are also secretly competing with each other, which is very boring.
The four of them all agreed, and it was agreed that Cheng Daojin would go first, followed by Ye Ruoqing and Cheng Shuang. If you encounter an enemy, you should help Cheng Shuang smoothly use your sword to kill the enemy.
Lin Bai provided support at the end to prevent everyone from falling in.
Following the road, the four of them set off.
Along the way, there was no danger, accompanied by butterflies.
Lin Bai fell at the end, leaving secret marks along the way.
"This is it!" After walking slowly for more than an hour, Cheng Shuang pointed forward.
I saw many tall trees over there broken, and there was a big hole in the ground. It was obvious that the battle was fierce.
Feeling nothing in his heart, Lin Bai asked Cheng Daojin and Ye Ruoqing to check around, while he escorted Cheng Shuang forward to check.
It wasn't that he looked at Cheng Shuang differently, but that he was afraid that she would cause trouble.
After carefully inspecting the battlefield, there were traces of blood and broken spiritual weapons. When put together, they should be copper bowls or the like.
There are no hidden signs on the tall trees here.
Seeing that they had nothing to gain, the four of them got together to discuss again.
Cheng Shuang said that he would seek revenge on the Fire Frog and made plans to defeat it; but Cheng Daojin felt that he should find the source of the galaxy as soon as possible because opportunity was the key.
Ye Ruoqing was soft-tempered and didn't say anything at all.
After arguing for a long time, we did not come up with a charter.
"There are many outstanding people entering the secret realm this time, and Jiuyin Mountain and our Qiaoshan Mountain are already at odds with each other. Therefore, if we follow the vision of the galaxy, it will be very difficult and dangerous."
Lin Bai suppressed his headache and said solemnly: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to take care of each other. In my opinion, it is better to separate. The three of you go together, and I will walk alone."
"How can that be done? It's not right, it's not right!" Ye Ruoqing immediately spoke.
Lin Bai Laohuai was relieved and said that taking care of you was not in vain, but when he looked closely at her eyes, he saw that she did not look at the Cheng brothers and sisters at all. Apparently she felt that the Cheng brothers and sisters were not as reliable as Lin Bai.
"When everyone adds firewood, the flames will rise! We are already weak, how can we be separated?" Cheng Shuang made sense.
"That's right!" Cheng Daojin also said.
"In that case, you must obey my order this time!" Lin Bai said.
Neither the Cheng brothers nor Ye Ruoqing had any objections.
The four of them walked forward again, passing through the forest through butterflies and avoiding monsters when encountering them.
After another three days of this, we met a small river.
Moving forward along the river, the river gradually widens. After walking for half a day, I saw a stone arch bridge connecting the two sides.
It's just that the stone bridge is in tatters, with one side collapsed, leaving only half standing on the river, and it's covered with weeds.
It was night at this time, and the stars were flowing in the sky. Butterflies danced gracefully, fireflies flickered, and beasts roared in the distance.
There is a man standing on the broken bridge, wearing a black Taoist robe, looking at the stars with his hands.
Lin Bai and others looked at it from a distance, and felt that thousands of stars and rivers were flowing into that person's body, which seemed to be in line with the laws of nature and the wonder of the Tao.
"It's Brother Xinghe!" Ye Ruoqing was originally following Lin Bai, looking timid, but now she jumped up happily and immediately flew up.
"Junior sister Ye is too reckless and unwise." Cheng Shuang actually had the nerve to say that others were unwise.
Li Xinghe stood at the end of the broken bridge, slowly looking at the four people opposite, with a slight smile on his face.
Ye Ruoqing stood on the shore and looked up at Li Xinghe on the broken bridge.
The two of them were only a stone's throw away from each other, separated only by a broken bridge over a river.
"Brother Xinghe, I finally found you!" Ye Ruoqing appeared like a little girl, especially gentle.
"Henghe is ahead, the bridge is broken and the road is dead. You and I are like businessmen, why bother to be persistent?" Li Xinghe said.
"No river can stop me." Instead of flying in the air, Ye Ruoqing waded across the river. Arriving in the river, she pointed at Lin Bai with her backhand and said, "That fellow Taoist Wheel Master can cross tens of thousands of miles of sea waves to find people. How can I be afraid of just a few steps in shallow water?"
