Above the nine heavens, there is a strong strong wind.

A red light flashed across the clouds and flew towards the north.

After the barrier of the true essence, Zhang Xiaofan's hair and clothes floated under the gentle breeze. There was no need to say much about the vast world and vast mountains and rivers. It was just that a person could not help but show some loneliness in this world.

Carrying "blood-sucking beads" all year round also has an impact on Zhang Xiaofan.

Those influences are hidden deep in the heart and are not obvious at first. However, after the "soul-eating" is handed over, they are gradually revealed. Fortunately, the Buddhist "Brahma Prajna" suppresses distracting thoughts, and the "red flame" that is the most powerful and yang to resist the evil force, which allows him to gradually get rid of the influence.

Before going down the mountain, I felt a faint reluctance to "Soul-Devouring" and now I still fade away.

Zhang Xiaofan was unconsciously accustomed to returning to the mainstream of Qingyun and using this "Red Flame" handed down by his master!

Between the heaven and the earth, vast and vast.

Suddenly, a faint blue light was found in the distance, which made Zhang Xiaofan's slightly divergent attention concentrate and looked into the distance. The nine heavens were wide open, and it was said that there was no obstacle. When Zhang Xiaofan saw that little blue halo, it was obvious that the other party also saw him.

After hesitating for a moment, two rays of inspiration approached one place.

A moment later, Zhang Xiaofan sent the immortal sword and landed on a barren mountain.

On the mountain, the faint blue light fell one step ahead of him. A pair of beautiful eyes tried hard to maintain peace, and there was only a faint surprise and excitement deep in the eyes. The breeze in the mountains rose slightly, brushing through the black hairs between her temples, and then the mouth of the sandalwood slightly opened, and the familiar and beautiful voice came along the wind: "Junior Brother Zhang!"

"I didn't expect to meet you here."

Zhang Xiaofan was also very surprised.

Facing the woman in white clothes in front of him, he was a little cramped, but inexplicably felt at ease. So he calmed down and showed a big smile on his face: "Yes, Senior Sister Lu! I didn't expect to meet you here!"

It turned out that under the faint blue fairy light, Lu Xueqi was coming!

Lu Xueqi looked at him calmly and whispered: "How are you doing lately?"

Zhang Xiaofan scratched his head and laughed: "Me? Haha, I'm not bad! Master is kind to me and allows me to go down the mountain to experience. I have walked a lot of places along the way, and have seen many people and things, but I have figured out some truths."

Lu Xueqi nodded, lifted the hair that was blown by the wind on his lips, and his eyes turned from his body to the open world: "You're fine, that's the best." The sound of insects and birds in the mountains became clear between the silence of the two. "Actually, I've been worried about you when I learned that you've come down the mountain."

Zhang Xiaofan opened his mouth and looked at her crystal-clear side face, feeling inexplicably nervous.

Facing Lu Xueqi's words, his dull and clumsy personality seemed to have come back, and he had never replied for a long time. Until, as if Lu Xueqi's words had completely dissipated in the wind, Zhang Xiaofan mustered up the courage, and when he reached his mouth, he had only one sentence: "Thank you, Senior Sister Lu."

Lu Xueqi turned around, looking at him quietly as if she was smiling in her clear eyes.

Zhang Xiaofan dodged a little at first, but then calmed down. After a moment of relief, he scratched his head again and grinned and smiled silly.

Lu Xueqi looked at him strangely, pursed her lips, and then an arc in the corner of her lips curled up in the wind.

Zhang Xiaofan was stunned.

He had never seen Lu Xueqi's smile. No, maybe no one in the entire Qingyun Sect had seen her smile? Even at some point, he had doubted whether Lu Xueqi would not smile.

However, at this moment, this question seems to be unquestionable.

Zhang Xiaofan felt the lack of his own vocabulary and imagination. But he knew that at this moment, it was like the first ray of warm sun in the winter, the silver moonlight in the long night, and the moist and sweet rain falling from the dry land - Lu Xueqi's smile was so beautiful and precious, and it was worth waiting for and waiting.

Zhang Xiaofan also laughed with her.

It is not like the silly smile before, but a kind of tacit understanding and joy. At this moment, the two people forgot the mountains, rivers, the world, the sun and the moon flowing, and they seem to have only each other in their eyes, and for a moment it seems to be eternal.

"Qua~"

A bird flew up from there, and with a "quack" sound, it broke the quiet atmosphere of the two.

Zhang Xiaofan, who was shocked, almost without thinking, led the immortal sword to escape with his hand technique, hit the black-haired bird that was flying up, and fell to the ground with a "pounce".

It happened that the bird was landing between the two.

Looking at the black bird on the ground, which was about the size of a chicken, Zhang Xiaofan looked embarrassed, especially Lu Xueqi's eyes, with a slight confusion. His thoughts turned sharply and suddenly thought of something: "Uh, senior sister, are you hungry? - Why don't I make some food for you?"

Lu Xueqi blinked and looked at him.

"Crack~"

A bonfire was lit in the leeward area of ​​the barren mountain.

There were wooden sticks with neat repairs on the bonfire, and were worn by unknown unlucky birds, along with it, and the hare that was only implicated.

Just imagine a little bird, how can you be a lively hare?

It was a free day, but suddenly died. It was a pity that it was sad. Alas! - Sprinkle with seasoning and the breath spreads. Well, it smells so good!

Compared to the head of the head who can only cook food, Zhang Xiaofan's craftsmanship is beyond words! Moreover, he has always had the habit of seasonings. Even if he is in the wild, making a barbecue will have a complete taste, and it will make people's index fingers sniff it!

"There are children in Yongzhou that have been lost one after another for more than a year, causing panic. The family master suspected that those who committed these crimes were highly likely to be an evil demon sect hidden in Yongzhou! This time I went down the mountain, I came to investigate the matter by orders from the sect."

Perhaps in order to divert the temptation of the fragrant and strong smell, Lu Xueqi took the initiative to talk about the purpose of this trip.

Zhang Xiaofan said in surprise: "The child is missing?"

Lu Xueqi said: "Yes. They are all young children around ten years old. Because the missing children are not gathered together, this matter has only fermented and spread after a year. According to the information obtained in the door, the clues point to the northern part of Yongzhou--"

"Muchun County?"

Lu Xueqi paused and looked at Zhang Xiaofan unexpectedly: "How do you know?"

"Ah, haha." Zhang Xiaofan just now interrupted his mouth with great pleasure. When he saw the question, he told him that he knew about Hongyun Temple one by one.

"I just know that Hongyun Temple has committed evil deeds that are not a good place. It happens to be located in the northern part of Yongzhou. I subconsciously blurted out, but I didn't expect it to be right after your words from Senior Sister."

Lu Xueqi's expression sank and said seriously: "Junior brother, if so many coincidences gather together, I'm afraid it will no longer be a mere 'coincidence'! - I suspect that the Hongyun Temple you mentioned may not only harm people with evil magic, but also have a lot to do with those missing children!"

Zhang Xiaofan also became solemn: "If this is the case, then this Hongyun Temple can be regarded as a great crime!"

Lu Xueqi nodded and said unscrupulously: "If you don't eradicate it, you're afraid that there will be endless disasters!"

Zhang Xiaofan flipped over the food on the bonfire, sprinkled some seasonings, and moved it a little away: "Senior sister, there are many people in Hongyun Temple, it's a bit of a risk to go alone. If you encounter an accident, wouldn't it be a waste of time to support it? - Why not, I'll go with you too?"

Lu Xueqi could not see any emotional fluctuations on her face, but just nodded: "Okay. With the help of her junior brother, you can try to eradicate this staff member!"

"Crack~"

A branch burned in the flames, making a slight sound.

After the main talk, the two of them fell into silence again. Fortunately, the food was ready at this time. Zhang Xiaofan skillfully took off the barbecue, finally sprinkled a little seasoning, and handed it over: "Senior sister, try my skills."

Lu Xueqi smiled slightly and took it "yes".

"Thanks."

"This reminds me a little of the day when I went to the Dead Abyss."

Zhang Xiaofan held the barbecue and blew his breath. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Yes, Senior Brother Feng asked me to bring enough food. Even in the Dead Abyss, he could eat comfortably. Huh--Well, the heat is just right, Senior Sister, you can try it too!"

Five days later.

Zhang Xiaofan and Lu Xueqi arrived at Muchun County in the northern part of Yongzhou.

This place is located north of Jiuzhou, among the four seasons, even when all things come back to spring, it comes later than in other places, so it is called "late spring".

When the two arrived in this county, the most intuitive feeling was desolation.

As we flew along the way, although there were countless broad and flat lands, there were not many human towns living there. The county towns of Michun County were also different from other places. The first is that the walls were thick, and whether they were the people's houses or the walls that protected the city, they were very thick.

Thick walls can keep warm, and the other hand, can also protect the people living there from evil spirits.

When we arrive in such a place, humans become a minority, with monsters everywhere. Even villages outside the city have built high village walls and gathered together, and most of them are very close to towns.

Unlike the secretly hidden demon sects in the imagination, Hongyun Temple is built on the Muchun Mountain outside the Muchun County City. It covers a vast area and has a large number of believers. It is a prosperous situation with a prosperous incense. The two of them secretly visited secretly and found that the people here respected and believed in Hongyun Temple. The wealthy and powerful families were also closely connected with Hongyun Temple, and there was no way to see what was strange about this temple.

Zhang Xiaofan thought of He Laoliu, who believed in the Dharma Assembly, and said with a heavy expression: "The demon monks of Hongyun Temple are very good at bewitching people's hearts. They are even more abominable than those demon sects whose evil deeds are revealed!"

Lu Xueqi comforted: "I believe in your judgment. - However, before taking action, we should find out the background of Hongyun Temple. Especially the whereabouts of those missing children, we must be careful!"

"good!"

Zhang Xiaofan didn't have the reckless idea of ​​killing directly to the door, and pondered: "Senior sister, why not pretend to be a pilgrimage and follow others to investigate first. There are so many pilgrims going up the mountain every day in Hongyun Temple, which will definitely not arouse suspicion!"

Lu Xueqi answered.

The two of them quietly came to change into ordinary clothes. Zhang Xiaofan lived in Taining for a long time and knew the usual appearance of ordinary people. After he changed his clothes, his temperament changed drastically, and he was as honest as an ordinary farmer's child.

Just after looking at Lu Xueqi, Zhang Xiaofan laughed and said, "Senior Sister, you may not be able to deceive people like this!"

Lu Xueqi frowned: "Why? I wasn't wearing this dress right?"

Zhang Xiaofan smiled and said, "There is no problem with the clothes, the problem lies with you!" Lu Xueqi was puzzled, and he continued, "Imagine that among the women of the mortal farmer, there is no such person as a fairy like a senior sister? If you go up the mountain to worship Buddha, you will be seen through immediately!"

Lu Xueqi glanced at him lightly, and his words suddenly stopped when his eyes were free from sorrow or joy.

"What do you think you should do?"
