Qiuqiu was sleeping in a daze and listened to someone talking outside.
She had not been asleep until she was not heavy, and when she heard the slightly urging voice, she instinctively listened.
She heard Shi'er ask, "...Is this true? When did it happen?"
The other person's voice was hard to hear, Shi'er continued, "I know, I'll go there now."
What happened?
Qiuqiu sat up, pulled her clothes over her shoulders, and when she bent down to put her shoes on, Shi'er had already opened the door.
"woke up?"
"What's wrong?"
"It's Mingyuan." Shi'er said: "He has lost his news for a whole day and a night."
Qiuqiu was stunned: "Brother Mingyuan? Has he lost his news?"
"Yes." Shi'er said: "When Elder Zheng asked someone to send him medicine, he found that he was missing. This kind of decoction is used to nourish his body. It needs to be taken every day, and there is no error in the time. The medicine sent by
The disciple couldn't find him and reported to Elder Zheng, and the others were looking for him together, but they couldn't find his whereabouts."
"Yes...what is there any emergency going out?"
"He didn't go out, but there was no news. No one could find him. I'll go out and take a look."
Qiuqiu had already changed his shoes and tied his hair casually: "I'll go with you."
Qiuqiu didn't know much about the situation of Jiufeng, but Shi'er was the master of the peak. Since the disciple did not go out of the mountain, he suddenly lost his trace in the sect, so an abnormal situation probably happened.
"What could have happened to him?"
"Even if he is in seclusion, he should not be able to find his whereabouts." Shi'er seemed to have made a decision in his heart. Without hesitation, he left the gate of Fengxian Pavilion and summoned his hand in the air.
A spirit bird flew over and landed in front of them.
The sky has not yet completely brightened, and the night wind is chilling, making people's cheeks cold.
Qiuqiu's cheeks were blown to a thin red color, and the sound of the spirit bird flapping its wings seemed so regular, flying towards the target without hesitation.
Qiuqiu put his hair together with his hands and asked softly: "Where are we going?"
“Go to the Ninth Peak.”
"The ninth peak?"
Qiuqiu raised her head.
She has also heard about the situation of Jiufeng in the past few days. Not every Jiufeng peak now has a palm peak. Among the people she recognizes, Shi'er is the master of the peak, which is the palm peak of the first peak.
Lin Su, Guan Wei, Ji Yunting, and one Zhangfeng has been in seclusion, and she has never seen her before. Even if she is included, there are only six people. There are still three vacancies.
Among them, the palm peak of the ninth peak is vacant.
Mingyuan, how could he go to the Ninth Peak?
"He went there himself?"
Shi'er shook her head: "After the death of the premier of the Ninth Peak, the affairs were managed by an elder. It is possible that... he chose Mingyuan and asked him to accept the inheritance of the Ninth Peak Palm."
"The Ninth Peak seems very mysterious, too."
The Ninth Peak is of course much better than the seventh Peak that no one can find. At least others can find it. But compared with other peaks, the Ninth Peak is like a hermit. He rarely comes forward to take on any business.
Obscurity and silently. Jiufeng's disciples and disciples rarely mention the Ninth Peak, so Qiuqiu can be said to have no idea about the Ninth Peak.
"The Ninth Peak is very important." Qiuqiu hugged Shi'er's waist with his hands wrapped around her, and Shi'er gently covered her hand on the back of her hand: "Do you remember the prisoner you met last time?"
Qiuqiu let out a cry.
Those people are so impressive that they will never forget them once they see them.
"Are they...they are the people from the Ninth Peak?"
"Yes." Shi'er said: "Even if I am the master of the peak, once I violate the rules, they will come forward to punish me without mercy and will never follow my own words."
That's really selfless.
Although ordinary people still say: A prince breaks the law and the common people. But that's just a saying. Of course, it's impossible for a prince to break the law and the common people. But here in Jiufeng, in front of those prisoners, if the peak master violates the rules of the sect, it is a forged to be made.
If there is a big mistake, the prisoner will treat him like an ordinary disciple.
No wonder the Ninth Peak is so mysterious!
"The Ninth Peak is also in charge of other affairs, just like the trial hole we have been to before."
Oh, it not only deals with judicial and criminal laws, but also logistics infrastructure maintenance.
The speed of the spirit bird is getting faster and faster, like an arrow breaking through the air.
A red sun jumped out from the top of the mountain in the east, and Qiuqiu's eyes were suddenly filled with golden red light. She instinctively narrowed her eyes.
Shi'er's voice was blown to his ears: "It's here."
Qiuqiu tried hard to open his eyes and looked up.
What about the ninth peak...the peak...?
There is no mountain in front of you.
She looked down and there was a gentle slope below - and then she saw a deep crack that split the complete hillside in half.
The spirit bird gathered its wings and plunged into the deep crack like a shuttle.
What about the promised peak?
If there is no peak, the slope is not bad... But why is the ninth peak not only not the peak, it is actually a ditch!
It is obviously a ditch, but it is named Feng. This is too inconsistent with the name. It is even more deceptive than selling dog meat with a sheep's head.
What did the predecessors who named them at that time think? It was obvious that Tiaogou was named Feng. Do you think Bafeng Yigou sounded less catchy than Jiufeng?
The spirit bird rushed into the crack, and the light in front of him suddenly disappeared, as if it had suddenly turned from daytime to night, and it was pitch black in front of him and there was nothing to see.
The temperature of the wind blowing on his body suddenly dropped sharply, just like the cold wind blowing from the cold winter month. The cut surface was like a knife. Qiuqiu shivered, and a warm feeling had already flowed from Shi'er's palm.
, instantly wrapped around her whole body.
The lower the spirit bird went, the darker it became around it, and then there was no light at all.
Qiuqiu felt a little worried. His eyes were so dark that he could not see anything. Even if it wasn't so dark and at such a fast speed, it wouldn't be possible to see the surrounding scenery clearly.
Qiuqiu looked up and saw a ray of light above his head becoming faint and slim. Soon he could no longer see it.
The spirit bird has not yet fallen to the end, how deep is this ditch?
Qiuqiu grabbed Shi'er's hand tightly and suddenly remembered what others had heard a few days ago: "The Ninth Peak... seems to be a forbidden area?"
She just heard a few casual conversations, but didn't take it to heart, and now she suddenly remembered it.
Isn’t it wrong for her to follow him so rashly? She won’t cause any trouble for Shi’er.
The spirit bird finally fell to the bottom.
Qiuqiu could hardly see anything in such darkness. As the saying goes, she could not see her five fingers. In such thick darkness, she could not see her fingers.
If Shi'er hadn't held her hand tightly, she wouldn't have dared to move at all.
How could the Ninth Peak be like this?
Don’t people living here look at things with their eyes?
In just a moment, Qiuqiu felt that life was like the years.
It is not only dark here, but also very quiet, with no sound.
Qiuqiu wanted to ask Shi'er, but she was a little confused about how to speak in such silence.
"We... won't move forward?"
Shi'er whispered: "Wait."
What are you waiting for? Wait for something? Or wait for someone?
After all, Shi'er was by his side, Qiuqiu felt a little relieved.
She unconsciously held Shi'er's hand tighter.
I am used to this darkness and feel less panicked. Although Qiuqiu cannot observe the environment, he can still feel something that he just ignored.
There is a smell here.
It smells so light.
It is said that water accumulation under such deep ravine is bound to return to tide. Even if there is a formation, the formation cannot completely block the air, and there will definitely be a tide. However, the air-cooling blowing here is cold, but
Very dry.
The faint smell... she remembered it, a little like grass.
Smelling the fresh smell of grass in such darkness certainly makes people feel a little more relaxed.
Shi'er is the master of the peak. There are still people in his own sect, and if you have something to do, he can make him like this, and he is Jinghou Ku and others. It can be seen that the ninth peak is indeed worthy of the name of the forbidden land.
After a long time, Shi'er held her hand and gently raised it: "Here you come."
Qiuqiu subconsciously straightened her waist and raised her head.
Although she didn't see or hear anything.
A voice came from the darkness not far ahead: "Master of Peak."
Shi'er responded: "Elder Zhou."
A little green light illuminated, illuminating the area around Qiuqiu and others who are now standing.
"I understand the purpose of the Peak Lord."
"Mingyuan has already started the trial?"
Elder Zhou was silent.
What trial?
Qiuqiu immediately began to think of it.
Is it a trial of the Palm Peak inheritance?
She was a little surprised.
Isn’t it said that among the disciples of Jiufeng, who are of the same generation, there is only one chance to become a Palm Peak trial?
Didn’t Mingyuan have participated in the trial with Lin Su a long time ago?
Is the Ninth Peak different?
Mostly that's the case.
The ninth peak is not even a peak. The inheritance of the palm peak is probably different from the palm peak next to it.
"Is this Qiu Zhang Peak?"
Qiuqiu was stunned for a moment.
Others called her a girl, and she was vague. Although she was polite, she also had a certain sense of distance.
However, this elder Zhou directly used the title of his previous life.
Qiu Qiu beat slowly before responding: "Yes."
Elder Zhou slowly walked forward two steps and approached the ball of light from the darkness.
He wore a gray robe like the executioner that Qiuqiu had seen, and looked very simple. He lowered his head slightly, unable to see his face clearly. Suddenly, there was such a person in front of him, and Qiuqiu was really uncomfortable.
"I have a few words to say, please follow me in Qiuzhang Peak."
Qiuqiu was a little surprised.
This elder Zhou obviously had never seen her before, otherwise he would not have looked so unfamiliar when he met just now.
Since there was no friendship before, what would Elder Zhou say to her?
Qiuqiu couldn't help but take a look at Shi'er.
"Just go, I'll wait for you here."
Qiuqiu felt a little more at ease because of his words.
She took a step forward, and the green light above her head also moved forward with her, just illuminating the two steps ahead. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation
