Chapter 387 Hidden Dragon

The ancient green vines and deep and towering peaks that have not been visited for decades or hundreds of years, looking up at the gray and mottled sky, and the needle-like drizzle falling down, are obviously no longer in the heart of the mountain, not even in the Kongtong Sect. As far as I could see, the mountains were completely unfamiliar.

Pei Ye panted violently. He had not yet recovered from the extreme emotions that had just risen and fallen. He raised his head and said weakly and hoarsely: "What is this place -"

The woman's arm suddenly sank, and the woman who was still holding the sword just now fell down. Pei Ye's heart suddenly contracted to support her. Looking hastily, the woman's face was as pale as paper, and her cold lips had no trace of blood. She was so weak that it was almost shocking. strangeness.

"Ming, Miss Ming?"

Ming Qitian seemed to have used a lot of effort to open her eyes. She took two gentle breaths before whispering: "If you go forward, you will catch me."

Pei Ye's newly relaxed mood sank again, and he struggled to lift the energy from his injured body. However, the woman's body was so weak that he had no strength at all. He pursed his lips and carried her on his back, using the sword as a staff, gritting his teeth and holding on, finally The forest ran like a leopard.

The woman's body is cold and soft, and Pei Ye's thin shirt has long been soaked. At this time, she is pressed tightly against her back, but what she brings is not the heat of the human body, but the coldness close to autumn water.

This feeling made the young man anxious again: "Miss Ming?"

The injuries on the woman's body seemed to be getting more serious. Her head was weakly pressed on his shoulder, and she murmured two weak syllables.

Pei Ye didn't hear clearly: ".What?"

The syllables were lost in the running, and Pei Ye frowned at the woman and tilted her cheeks.

Ming Qitian weakly moved her head toward his ear and whispered: "Sorry."

"."

Pei Ye didn't know what to say for a moment. He only wished that the large area of ​​wetness between the bodies was his own blood. In panic and worry, he suddenly remembered something: "Miss Ming, don't you still have a pill?" "

The woman on the back was so quiet that it took a few breaths before she whispered: "...waist."

Pei Ye immediately let go of one hand, took out a thin jade bottle, and poured out a fine elixir.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Pei Ye raised his hand to his left shoulder, but only touched a closed lip.

"Ming girl's medicine."

The woman pursed her lips and turned away from the elixir, and said softly: "Half for each person."

"I'm fine, Miss Ming. She has all injuries. She can still run and jump."

But the woman just buried her head on his shoulder and remained motionless.

"." Pei Ye cut the elixir into two, and the strangeness disappeared immediately, as if it was only a healing medicine. He fed half of the elixir to the woman, and when he saw that there was indeed some blood on her pale face, he took the other one. Swallow half of the tablet.

"We are south of Kongtong. We are still in the 'Big Kongtong'." The woman's soft voice came from her left shoulder, "We can't stop here, it's too close. But we can't keep running too much. Your whereabouts will be exposed. It’s best to find a place to hide.”

"How far are we from Kongtong?" Pei Ye gasped lightly, using the topics involved to calm his mind, "I remember that when I was in Xincang Mountain before, Brother Zhu took me to use similar methods for about a hundred years. Dori.”

"Yeah." The woman whispered, "I'm not good at studying, so it's not that far. I think it should be sixty or seventy miles away."

".That's quite far."

"Um."

"And you can cast spells faster than him."

"Um."

Pei Ye opened her mouth twice more, but still couldn't suppress the panic in her heart. She turned her head again to look at the woman's face draped over her shoulders: "Miss Ming, are you feeling better?"

When half of the elixir was taken into the mouth, a vigorous heat rose up from the young man's belly almost immediately, and the broken muscles and bones soon began to re-transmit power. But such magic was like a drop in the bucket on a woman. Pei Ye actually felt her The injury was getting better, but it seemed completely unable to save her life. Every time she tried to cross in, her zhenqi was wiped out in an instant.

There seemed to be a storm inside the woman's body.

"Much better." Ming Qitian said softly.

"Then what are you doing?" Pei Ye looked worriedly at her drooping bright eyes, the hidden pain, and the touch on her back was still completely cold.

Ming Qitian was silent for a moment and said softly: "Do you remember what I told you about the Gushe Heart Sutra?"

"Remember."

"Well, this is my inevitable death." The woman whispered weakly.

The two words "death point" made the young man's heart and lungs clench uncontrollably, but when he looked back and wanted to ask again, there was no sound behind him, only a pale face with closed eyes was seen, and the woman's mind seemed to have sunk deep into the depths.

"."

Pei Ye pursed her lips and turned back. Amidst the misty sound of rain, he kept running with all his strength. The young man knew deeply that for Xuanmen Yeque, the distance of sixty or seventy miles was just a brief moment, and the other party was coming. Sooner or later it just depends on when you find the right direction.

He pulled the woman out of the cage, just to temporarily escape the fate of having her soul taken away by Xinpo, but it never ended, it was just a short delay. If Sima and Yi Duanzhi really caught up, he didn't know what else he could do. What to pray for.

What weighed more heavily on the young man's heart was that the woman on his back was still sliding towards the abyss.

No matter where it is, no matter where there are no enemies, the cracks in the shattered mirror will only get bigger and bigger, making this unstoppable process even more desperate.

Pei Ye didn't know how long she could hold on, one hour? Or two hours? .It has only been a few quarters of an hour since it was triggered, and the woman is already as weak as if she is on the verge of death.

After running for more than ten miles, Pei Ye was wary of every fluctuation of his heartbeat and every strange sound in the ancient forest of Cangshan Mountain, until he suddenly looked up and saw a flash of darkness on the high cliff from a strange angle.

His footsteps paused.

Pei Ye first ran south for nearly ten miles, and after washing the blood in a mountain stream, he turned back and walked diagonally to a more secluded place. At this time, he had run into a deep valley. The surrounding mountains looked like towering giants, with high cliffs, ancient trees, wild owls and messy branches. Everything seemed free and uninhabited.

Pei Ye stopped and walked around a few bends to look for the darkness he had just seen. Finally, he saw the other side of the valley. A dark cave opened on the stone wall. It was deep and dim under the shade of the ancient trees, and it was impossible to see where it was easily.

".Ms. Ming, is that a cave?" Pei Ye asked back with a breath.

But there was still no sound.

Pei Ye gritted his teeth, jumped up, hugged the woman and stepped onto the treetop. He paused for a moment, and his true energy exploded. In the rain of broken beads, he had already flown several feet and climbed into the cave.

————

Kongtong.

The moment the two figures disappeared, the atmosphere in Jianfu Mountain was like a condensation. Ji Changyun turned his eyes with his sword horizontally, pursed his lips and looked at the remaining two people. His robes were full of cruel wounds caused by the fierce battle just now.

Yi Duanzhi almost didn't stop for a moment, and suddenly rushed out of the mountain. The gun energy that had not disappeared drew a straight line of fire. Sima was a moment slower. He first shot a stream of Xuanqi at the four unconscious peak masters below, turned back and looked deeply at Ji Changyun, raised his hand to support his face, and showed a cold low smile for the first time.

"Since we have been so tacitly in the past twenty years, why don't we talk about a business face to face now?"

Outside Jianfu Mountain, the Xuanqi had suddenly rioted, and the fire of "Zhu Lian Taiye" could almost be smelled.

"The [Heart Candle] has been planted, and the two swords just now are basically the last two swords she can use." Sima whispered, "The mountain master can believe that with every breath, they are more like two lambs to be slaughtered."

The dark mountain belly was silent and empty, Ji Changyun was silent, and Sima seemed to have infinite patience. Finally, he pursed his lips into a sharp straight line and said in a low and slow voice: "Kill them before nightfall."

"Kongtong will protect the immortal platform?"

"Kongtong will protect the immortal platform."

Sima lowered his eyes and wiped away the blood on the sword, and smiled coldly: "Deal."

Turning around and taking off the dragon head [Heart Mirror], the ten thousand swords suddenly scattered and sank back into the mountains at the bottom of the stream. Sishan turned the sword back into the sheath, and the green clothes swept out.

Outside the Jianfu Mountain, Yi Duanzhi shot Dai Shangyu down in the air with a spear, and nearly a hundred jade fire lotuses rose around him, and no one of the masters of the peaks could get close for a while. Sima's blue robe flashed out at this moment, and the bright blade was unsheathed in an instant. The blue shadow pierced the chests of three people in the scattered, and broke through the siege together with the musket.

Ji Changyun's huge sword intent only lagged behind for a moment, and the old man's mysterious energy was like the sea, condensed into a flying sword and threw it out. The whistling sword energy swept away the blue shadow fire lotus and pierced Sima from behind.

"Kongtong sect! The leader has been harmed, follow me to arrest the evildoers of Huansi Tower!!" Ji Changyun's shout resounded throughout the mountain.

Zhufeng Xuanmen had rushed up with swords as soon as the two broke through the siege, but when he heard the words, he subconsciously turned back, but Ji Changyun seemed to have no time to explain, and the blue robe had already swept away.

But he was obviously seriously injured and could not catch up with the speed of the two.

——————

The mountain rain continued.

The cave was empty and huge beyond Pei Ye's imagination, and it was so deep inside that there was no one knowing how deep it was, and there was even the sound of water rippling. At this moment, he was worried that he had come to the wrong place - this was not a secret place that had been uninhabited for thousands of years, but a place with a name and surname.

But he had indeed run long enough and could not leave any more traces.

Putting the pale woman down on a huge smooth rock at the entrance of the cave, the young man paused for breath again when he looked at the blood-stained white clothes - he really had never imagined that the woman was so fragile.

Unable to bear to look closely, he turned around. The cave that was sheltered from wind and rain gave people a false sense of security, so the body immediately had an excuse, and the injuries and fatigue of the past few days surged up all at once.

Pei Ye supported himself with the sword and did not sit down on the ground, but just stood and leaned lightly against the wall - he knew that he had to rest slowly at this time, and once he completely relaxed, he would not be able to get up at all.

After a rough review of his physical condition, he found that his serious injuries were the most obvious difficulty. Half a pill of spiritual medicine wiped out the danger of his life, but the bloody punctures still made his throat smell rusty when he breathed; his true energy was almost exhausted. If there were really bears and tigers in this cave, he was not even confident that he could protect the woman from their claws and teeth.

Not to mention his state of mind.

The broken fan would only become more and more rotten. After being invaded by the imperial edict, he was unable to seek a secret technique to cultivate his mind and find a peaceful place to rest. Instead, he was unscrupulously extended to the depths by those sharp tentacles in the violent fluctuations of his mood.

When he was in Jianfu Mountain, he even felt that thought.

Pei Ye stared at the woman sitting on the stone in a daze. His life was saved by her from the hands of the immortal. If he was already beyond salvation, at least he would do everything he could to save the woman.

But now, even if he did get a chance to press pause, what could he do now? How much time does he have left?

His mind was in disarray. Pei Ye took a breath and propped himself up with his sword again. The thin rain soaked his clothes and hair after a while. Pei Ye subconsciously walked deeper into the cave and picked up some old and dry vines.

After piling them together, he suddenly remembered that he couldn't make a fire, so he took a deep breath, sat next to Ming Qitian, and tried his best to dry her clothes with the little remaining true energy.

At this moment, the woman finally opened her eyes.

"——Miss Ming?" Pei Ye looked at her face and was a little surprised to find that the pain between her eyebrows seemed to have disappeared.

Ming Qitian raised her eyes and looked at the place slowly, and her voice became much clearer. She adjusted her posture and still leaned on the mountain wall to look out, looking peaceful and elegant: "The wind is high and the rain is drizzling, the scenery is wide, this place is Great."

".How are you doing?"

The woman turned around, there was some blood on her lips, and she said An Ning: "What are you talking about?"

".What the hell, you just fell into a coma."

"It's much better in this regard." Ming Qitian said, "I woke up and I should not be unconscious again. I can talk to others and do things that ordinary people can do. Your injury is very serious. I will help you bandage it. one time?"

"What about other aspects?"

Ming Qitian lowered her eyes: "The dispute between Mingxin and Gushe has reached the next stage."

".What?"

"I practice the "Gushe Heart Sutra" with the mind of "Mingjing Bingjian", so when my mind takes a different path, "Gushe" collapses in my body." Ming Qitian looked at the rain curtain, "The power began to be lost. Controlling and even injuring one's own body; in the realm of mind and spirit, Ming Jing and Tian Xin began to fight to the death. This is the riotous "Gu She".

"what about now?"

"Now the chaotic confrontation is over. Mingxin and Tianxin are completely separated." Ming Qitian said softly, "When they were strangled together, even though it was painful, I could still use the mind master "Gu She" to completely separate now, Although I feel a little more relaxed, I no longer have the ability to cultivate.”

Pei Ye's heart sank, but at the same time he grasped another hope: "Then, will they stop fighting?"

Although it is depressing to have his body destroyed, if the fall ended here, at least the woman would have saved her life.

"How is that possible?" Ming Qitian showed a pale smile and lowered her head slightly, "The two armies have just set up their formations, how could they stop fighting? The decisive battle will come next."

"What's next?" Pei Ye didn't notice that his voice was hoarse.

"[Ice and Snow Body]." Ming Qitian said quietly, gently spreading an index finger towards the young man.

Pei Ye froze in place coldly, and he suddenly understood what the strangeness he had always felt from the woman was.

It's not the bright red blood stains or the pale complexion. The "fragility" is just a state that is not unexpected - she was seriously injured when she faced the Immortal Lord.

This strangeness comes from countless details that come into view but are not noticed. The dirty clothes corners, dust-stained fingertips, and sweaty forehead represent everything about her falling back to the mortal world.

Pei Ye still remembered that after the war in Fenghuai, the woman appeared in front of him again in white clothes without even washing up. And every time they met in the future, she had always been as distant and quiet as the light clouds in the sky.

Nowadays, that innate stability still exists, but the "distantness" is gone. She will also sweat from dust, and everything real in the world begins to return to this body.

And the consequences that come with it are.

Pei Ye looked at the smooth finger in front of her with a tight throat. Starting from the fingertip, half of the knuckles had begun to show cracks like porcelain.
