C101

Far from the official road, there were few people.

After making seven or eight turns, Gu Mingyan no longer divided the north from the south, but the trees here were surprisingly tall, and their branches and leaves were lush. In the clear sky, the sun had already covered the sky, and only a few rays of sunlight penetrated into the earth, illuminating it with a few spots of light.

Xue Zhu gently raised his hand and the wine jar was pulled into his embrace. He walked in a crooked way, but his speed was extremely fast.

After a while, Gu Mingyan was left panting for breath far behind.

He bent his body to catch his breath and pressed his arms against his knees. His body was unsteady, as if he was going to fall forward and eat mud if he lost his balance. He only had enough time to shout, "I can't walk anymore!"

"Little girl hasn't practiced martial arts?"

Hearing the sound of quickly approaching, Xue Zhu didn't know when, but he had already moved back to her side. He used one hand to help her up and pinched her arm, a little disdainful in his eyes: "This bone, it can't even hold a horse stance properly … "Ouch!"

Caught off guard, a little girl pulled at his hair. Gu Mingyan wished that he could jump onto her back and not let go of her hair.

Maybe there were no girls in the Jianghu who would pester her like this, so Xue Zhu could only throw away the wine jug and slip away, opening his eyes wide and looking at her.

"Hey girl, where did you get all the looks of a lady from a noble family?"

"You're allowed to pull my hair, so I'm not allowed to scratch your hair?"

Gu Mingyan lifted his hands to wipe the perspiration on his forehead. His legs were sore from walking so far, and he could only support himself on the tree trunk.

Just when Xue Zhu was still on guard against her, Gu Mingyan shot him a glance and walked away: "I can't follow you anymore, you should go by yourself."

"Ai ai ai!"

Xue Zhu's eyes widened even more than a bell, he quickly ran behind Gu Mingyan and followed behind her: "Aren't you here at the right time, to help me solve a problem?"

Gu Mingyan stopped in his tracks and looked at him strangely.

"Since you have a request for me, why are you toying with me?"

Xue Zhu laughed, and rubbed his nose guiltily, his voice was frivolous.

"Isn't this watching you being interesting?" And look at how this little girl is not worthy of Little Seven. "

She was indeed blind back then, and wanted to become the disciple of a mechanical master.

Xue Zhu was more willful than children, but his martial arts were higher than many adults.

Just as she was about to argue that she wasn't a good person for Xiao Qiran, her collar was lifted by Xue Zhu and her legs lightened up. The darkness in front of her was broken by the light rays and by the time she had regained her senses, she had already landed firmly on a thick tree trunk.

Xue Zhu was afraid that she would be scared, so he used his other hand to hold her collar.

"Are you afraid?"

"You'd better leave quickly."

Gu Mingyan reached out to grab Xue Zhu's hair again — — Was she really that afraid of death?

Xue Zhu barely avoided Gu Mingyan's hand, laughed, and then leaped up. Out of the corner of his eyes, he glanced at the nearby trees, and slowed his pace.

Gu Mingyan decided to close his eyes and obediently treat himself as a quail.

In the courtyard, countless people came knocking on their doors to harass them. After leaving home, they would be afraid and their feet would be hanging in the air.

Everyone said that she was a bane star, but she felt that this Shengan was a place where demons and monsters ran rampant.

Only when both her feet landed on the ground and staggered two steps did the sound of the wind pause. Only then did she tightly grip Xue Zhu's sleeves with sweat all over her body, and did she not hear the old man's teasing words anymore.

As he slowly opened his eyes, he saw that in the middle of the lush and verdant forest, there was actually a small house. This thatched cottage seemed to have been in ruins for a long time, and there was even a stone house built beside it, with cobwebs under its eaves and even mushrooms growing in the corners.

But if one looked carefully, Gu Mingyan realized that the nearby forests were arranged neatly.

Breaking free, Xue Zhu walked to the nearest big tree and touched the tree trunk.

The bark of the tree was chapped. If one were to look carefully, they would be able to see densely packed black spots and silver threads hidden under the cracks. Her gaze landed on a towering tree to the north and she suddenly laughed.

"You've set the formation so far apart, aren't you afraid of accidentally touching this formation and causing your own death?"

Hearing that, Xue Zhu straightened his back, and his eyes lit up as he looked over.

"Girl, what else did you see?"

There are only three safe places in the formation. The stone house in the wooden house is one place, and the towering tree is another. If you look at the other place, it seems that the tree is very lush. Gu Mingyan's eyes also slightly lit up as he looked around and pointed in a direction. At that place, he saw two other old trees whose branches were intertwined, and he said, "I didn't expect that these bunch of big trees could also create their own formation."

"Heaven and Earth are mysterious. If I search carefully, I can naturally find such a perfect location."

Xue Zhu laughed heartily. He no longer had that muddle-headed look from before and swaggered over to Gu Mingyan's side.

"That stinking brat said that you have some knowledge of formations. If you don't believe me back then, you might believe me now. Coincidentally, I want to give up that unfilial disciple of mine and accept another disciple …"

"No."

Gu Mingyan decisively cut off his words, and looked at him coldly: "You're just an old naughty kid, what will you do if I fail to learn from you?"

"Girl, you are probably full of bad intentions. You actually have the nerve to say that I can lead you astray!"

Xue Zhu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, but there was still a smile in his eyes.

With such a talented person in front of him, how could he just sit there and do nothing?

However, they did not know that Gu Mingyan had secretly remembered the array formation, and had even looked at the place where the hidden weapons were split off from the tree bark. He thought that if he used this death array to poison himself, he would definitely make sure that even the immortals would not be able to leave.

The two of them had their own thoughts. Gu Mingyan went back to his own thoughts and asked: "What are you doing here?"

"Someone sent something here, just call me over to settle it." Xue Zhu came back to reality as well and led her into the thatched house. There, on the table, was a bamboo tube as thick as an arm.

As the dust settled in the room, the smell of ashes assaulted his nostrils.

Only one table had been cleaned up, and there was a small crack on the bamboo tube. It seemed like it was not a simple item for transporting items.

Xue Zhu picked it up, with two fingers moving extremely fast, with two clicks, the bamboo tube twisted, and with a light pat from Xue Zhu's palm, two rolls of paper fell.

When he looked at the bamboo tube again, he saw that it was still completely undamaged. In fact, he was unable to even see where the paper had come from.

Yet Xue Zhu actually handed over the two scrolls of paper to Gu Mingyan, laughing coldly.

"Among these two papers, there is a hidden map of the forces in each of the eighteen cities in the Heaven's Chasm Pass. Even though it has been a long time, it is still the same as right now. If it was taken away by someone, the consequences would be unimaginable. "
