Xie Linglu - Chapter 168

The display screen squeaked and changed back to the faulty interface again, and the harsh sound recalled everyone’s thoughts that were deeply immersed in the screen.

Xun Nagan opened the folding fan to cover his chin and said, “The things in this mountain are not easy to deal with. Everyone has been tired for a day, so they are here to recover their strength. There are still a lot of things left here, so set up a stove and eat something warm. Yes, those who are tired will sleep if they want to, or meditate if they don’t, there is not much time for you, and there will be no more free time later.”

“There is also a shift vigil, and I stand on the first shift.”

After Xun Nagan gave the order, he went to the tent next to him to look for something. This time they came here and took the least amount of food and water. They originally wanted to buy some before going up the mountain, but who would have thought that this place is so bad, and it is also the place where most of the New Year’s shops are located. When the door is closed, there is no chance for supplies along the way.

Everyone put down their packages and performed their duties. Xun Youling went to help make the fire and cook. If she didn’t do something to distract her, she would be restless.

Ji Xin was sitting in the same place and did not move. She repeatedly watched the flashing shadow in the video, the more she saw it, the more strange she felt. Then she looked up at the forest, which was covered by the lush vegetation, and felt heavy. The pressured person can’t breathe.

She put down the screen and ran to Xun Nagan’s side, and asked, “Master Xun, this place is very strange. Most of the things are here. Why are people gone? Are we really good to stay here?”

Xun Nagan knocked on the tree trunk beside him with the fan in his hand and replied, “Of course it’s not good, but no one has ever been to this place, how do you know that you will be safe if you leave this place, if it’s really weird, go earlier. Come to the door and save us from looking for it.”

Xun Nagan’s words also have some truth. Ji Xinxi chose to respect the other party’s decision, and Xun Nagan said without a word, “Last night Xiaochun came and told me about the relationship between the two of you.”

Ji Xinxi was stunned when he heard the words, and suddenly became a little cautious, nodded and admitted generously, waiting for Xun Nagan to speak next.

Xun Nagan’s eyes swept over Ji Xinxi’s body in a complicated way, and continued: “You must know that people are staring at our Dingxuan Temple recently, especially Xiaochun. She used to be out of business, and the Taoist knows she exists. There are not many people, and now all parties are inquiring about her news, you and her are inseparable, and naturally you can’t run away.”

“I understand.” Ji Xinxi nodded to indicate that she had realized this before, but she didn’t care, and besides, she had nothing to be afraid of when she was alone.

Xun Nagan saw Ji Xinxi’s changes in his eyes, showing a satisfied look and then said: “I have been dealing with those old foxes outside these days. Knowing more details than us, rumors like your bloodline are spreading like wildfire.”

“Everyone is very interested in your bloodline, and they have consulted ancient books and legends, and found a lot of deeds that seemed to be unrelated in the past but can now be linked together. If you want me to say that the water in here is very mixed now, you can make any ideas. Yes, what happens after that is far more complicated than you think.”

Ji Xinxi’s heart skipped a beat, Xun Nagan meant that she was in danger right now. If she was not careful, she would cause even more trouble. She gave Xun Nagan a worried look, worried that this was the case. It wasn’t that the other party was implying that she should stay away from Xun Youling.

The fan in Xun Nagan’s hand held against a piece of bark, and when he pried it lightly, the bark fell off the trunk. Xiaochun also told me, if there are those thousands of years old things staring at you, then you are already in the bright spot, it is better to stand directly under the sun, everyone is staring at you, your danger is less. already.”

Ji Xinxi’s high-hanging heart was relieved by these words, she understood what Xun Nagan said, and he was turning a corner to comfort himself not to worry too much.

She guessed the reason after a little thought. Originally, the enemy was in the dark and she was in the open. She could only wait for the other party to take action before fighting back. Now everyone from all sides is staring at her. Even if the spirit appears, it will never sit idly by, because if she disappears, the next unlucky people will be those cultivators whose nutritional value is hundreds of times better than that of ordinary people in the eyes of the resentful spirit.

After figuring out this joint, Ji Xinxi smiled and said sincerely, “Thank you for the suggestion, Master Xun, I have written it down.”

Xun Nagan nodded, turned and left to check the situation elsewhere, and by the way asked about the cooking progress of the next meal.

Ji Xin was still standing in the same place, with Xun Nagan’s words circling in her mind, she was thinking that if someone really held ill will towards her and wanted to attack her, it would likely involve Xun Youling, she really could Do you stay by each other’s side without any scruples?

While she was hesitating, a hand was placed on her shoulder, Ji Xinxi turned around suddenly, and took a defensive posture, but saw Xun Youling looking at her with a little surprise, and asked, “What’s the matter? Is it right? I scared you, I just saw you here alone, what did the old man just tell you? Why do you look so bad?”

“Don’t worry, no matter what he says to you, tell me that if he doesn’t lead you to reason with him, he will never favor him.” Xun Youling solemnly assured Ji Xinxi.

Ji Xinxi loosened her shoulders, looked at Xun Youling in front of her, stretched out her hand to hug him, feeling the breath on him, she said sullenly, “Nothing, the Daoist treats me very well, I just can’t worry about you. .”

Ji Xin sighed silently in his heart, and let her be selfish for a while, she was reluctant to leave Xun Youling’s side, she was greedy for what belonged to him, and Xun Youling’s existence, for her, occupied most of the meaning of her life.

Xun Youling listened to Ji Xinxi’s words and hugged him back. She didn’t say a word. She knew that she couldn’t fool Ji Xinxi. Only then can she muster up the courage to face what comes next.

The two hugged each other tightly for a moment, and Xun You shouted over there to let the two go over to eat, and then the two walked back hand in hand.

What they didn’t notice was that after they left, the bark that had been pryed on the ground by Xun Nagan was picked up by a pale hand, twisted between two slender fingers, and silently pasted back to its original place. , The bark actually wriggled a few times and then grew back.

Xun Nagan, who was in the distance, suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He turned his head to look behind him and saw that nothing was out of the ordinary. Same as that time.

Xun Nagan took a sip of the broth in front of him. It was simply boiled with canned meat from the camp. Of course, the taste couldn’t compare to the one boiled by Zhenger Bajing, but the warm soup flowed down his throat into his stomach. It can also warm up a frozen body.

Ji Xinxi noticed Xun Nagan’s strangeness and asked, “Master, is there something wrong?”

Xun Nagan shook his head and said, “You guys raise your vigilance a little bit, I think this place is weird, but apart from the more yin qi, I can’t find any reason. I didn’t see the problem, do you understand what it means?”

Several people nodded their heads when they heard the words, and each stabilized the small package that was close to their body, which contained all the equipment they used well.

After everyone finished eating, the sky was getting dark. Because of the reason in the mountains, it was even darker and darker than outside. Xun Nagan was guarding the first post, and everyone else closed their eyes and meditated. The cultivators meditated and slept. It’s the same, but in the short term, meditating is better than sleeping, and sleeping for a long time is more effective in eliminating fatigue.

Ji Xinxi couldn’t sleep, so he sat next to the bonfire with Xun Nagan, Xun Youling meditated beside her, Qu Ruopang and Wen Lianzhen were fine if they didn’t sleep, and they both sat on the side in silence.

Xun Nagan had previously found a small wine jug in a backpack, and he put it away. He took it out from time to time in the cold night and took a sip. Two blushings appeared on his fat face.

Sitting in front of the fire for an hour, Ji Xinxi felt a little sleepy, staring at the flickering flames, thinking that Xun Nagan and Qu Ruohen were around him, and slowly closed his eyes.

She didn’t sleep soundly this time, and there was a crackling sound of burning in her ear, and gradually other sounds mixed in, as if someone approached her again, gently leaning against her ear to breathe, and a sharp sound. Whispering, can’t really hear it.

Ji Xinxi frowned, this breath made her feel disgusted and fearful, she wanted to open her eyes to see who the other party was, but at the moment her eyelids seemed to weigh thousands of pounds, no matter how hard she tried, she would not move.

A feeling of grievance suddenly surged in her heart. This emotion came suddenly and for no reason, but it violently overwhelmed her. Her heart shrank and shrank in pain, but the sound of breathing in her ears suddenly It became hurried, and it got closer and closer.

The two strange feelings inside and outside made all the senses of Ji Xinxi cluttered together, and finally everything calmed down abruptly, and she heard a whisper.

“We will meet soon.”

Ji Xinxi suddenly opened his eyes and found that he was still sitting in front of the bonfire. Xun Nagan took this wooden stick and turned the fire in front of him. Qu Ruodeng and Wen Lianzhen were also the same. Everything was exactly the same as when she closed her eyes.

She sat up straight and felt cold on her face. She raised her hand and wiped it and found that her face was covered in water. Did she cry just now?

Xun Nagan turned his eyes and saw Ji Xinxi’s appearance. The wooden stick in his hand paused, and pretended to ask unintentionally, “Have you had a nightmare? This place is so yin and qi that it disturbs people’s minds, and it is normal to have nightmares. “

Ji Xinxi didn’t say much when she heard the words, only said that she got up and moved, her legs and feet were stiff when she saw this, Qu Ruotang immediately got up to accompany her, Ji Xinxi didn’t refuse, she felt more at ease when there was someone by her side.

Xun Nagan told her not to go too far, Ji Xinxi responded, and came back for a small pace within ten meters.

Qu Ruodeng stood there and looked at Ji Xinxi, who lowered his head in thought, and asked, “Xiao Xixi, what’s the matter with you? Look at someone with a lot of thoughts.”

Ji Xinxi stopped, stared at the ground and asked, “Ruodang, did something happen when I fell asleep just now?”

Qu Ruodeng frowned, recalled and said, “Did you fall asleep? I feel like you just closed your eyes for a while and opened them in a few minutes. I thought you were closing your eyes and resting? It can happen in a while. What? It’s just that the yin is heavier than the daylight.”

Hearing that, Ji Xinxi’s heart was slightly relieved, maybe it was just because he had listened to Xun Nagan’s words before, and he was thinking too much.

Although she persuaded herself like this, the shadow shrouded in Ji Xinxi’s heart did not dissipate. Her toes rubbed the ground unconsciously, only to find that the stiff ground just now became unusually soft, and the toes of her shoes easily sank into the ground. The ground, and water stains overflowed as she squeezed.

Ji Xinxi frowned, and suddenly smelled the pungent **** smell in his nose.
