Mi Li rolled her eyes: "Go ahead and conquer the world as my master. I don't need your help. Just mind your own business."
Seeing that she didn't want to talk to him anymore, Zu An knew that asking further would be in vain, so he could only say: "Anyway, you have to know that you are not alone at any time, and you still have me."
Mi Li waved her hand: "I know, I know, when did you start nagging like an old woman?"
Bi Linglong on the side looked at all this with a strange expression. She always felt that the relationship between the two people was really not like that of master and disciple, but more like...
Forget it, how is that possible? I'm just overthinking it.
Next, a group of people continued on the road. Bi Linglong looked back from time to time: "Azu, I always feel a little uneasy. Logically speaking, we were just delayed there for so long. With the emperor's speed, he should have caught up with us."
Hearing this, Mi Li said: "They were trapped in those fairy peach illusions. Maybe they have all died there. Naturally, they cannot catch up with us."
"Illusion of Fairy Peach?" Bi Linglong was a little confused. At that time, she saw with her own eyes those large, watery fairy peaches. Each one had a strange fragrance, and they looked like extremely rare things.
"Of course it's the environment. Fruits that are as ugly as skeletons and things that suck people's essence and blood. If you eat them, not only will you not be able to prolong your life, but you may even turn into withered bones immediately." Mi Li replied.
Bi Linglong's face turned pale. After getting in touch with him during this time, she had already admired Mi Li's knowledge very much, so she naturally believed her words.
Thinking back to the fact that I was completely fascinated by the appearance of those fairy peaches, if Zu An hadn't pulled me away, I would have probably eaten the poisonous fruit.
Thinking of this, she looked at Zu An in surprise. This guy was usually greedy for money and lustful, but at critical moments, he was able to control his character better than most people. Who is his true face?
At this time, Zu An spoke: "I believe that with the emperor's cultivation and character, even if he is fascinated by those fairy peaches for a short time, there will never be any real danger, so we can't hope that those fairy peaches can kill him.
"
Mi Li nodded approvingly: "You are a cautious kid, yes, yes, so you can live longer."
After saying that, she yawned: "I've been out for too long and I'm a little sleepy. Go back to bed first. Call me if you need anything."
After saying that, it turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared into his sword.
Bi Linglong's eyes widened and she looked up and down at the Tai'a sword in Zu An's hand: "Your master usually hides here."
"Well," Zu An stretched out his hand and gently stroked the sword, "She and I are both teachers and friends, and she is the person I trust most in the world."
It seems that Mi Li's current soul body state is still very depleted by staying outside for a long time. I must make her a new body. Last time she mentioned that she had a premonition of getting some kind of medicinal material. Could it be that it came true in this secret realm?
?
"You brat, don't touch it!" Mi Li's dissatisfied voice suddenly came from Tai'a sword.
Zu An retracted his hand humbly: "I touched the blade of the sword, and I didn't touch you."
"Anyway, you're not allowed to touch. You kid has too many tricks. Who knows what you're thinking." Mi Li snorted. Zu An: "..."
Bi Linglong couldn't help but smile: "The relationship between your master and apprentice is really wonderful."
Zu An couldn't help but laugh: "It's different from other masters and disciples."
Bi Linglong asked curiously: "How did you know each other, and how could she be in your sword?"
What she actually wanted to ask more was whether the other party knew about what happened between the two of them, but she was too embarrassed to speak, so she had to make insinuations.
Zu An laughed: "This is a long story..."
The two chatted all the way, and time passed quickly. They didn't know how long they had walked, and they came to a cliff and stopped.
This is almost the end of the first floating island. Looking up, the second floating island is hundreds of feet away in the sky.
He tried it and found that short-distance flying was fine in this place, but flying over longer distances was naturally prohibited.
He looked around from the edge of the cliff. There was no small floating island like before that could be used as a staircase between the two islands.
"How are we going to get up here?" Zu An had a headache.
At this moment, Bi Linglong's voice came: "Azu, come and see here."
After hearing the news, Zu An came over and saw Bi Linglong bending down to pull the weeds on the ground. He directly used the flames of the fire phoenix to burn the weeds clean, and then exposed a large array of stone slabs.
"This is..." Zu An was a little surprised. The material of these stone slabs was extremely special, and the surface had just been burned by fire without leaving any traces.
The whole body is as dark and crystal clear as ink jade, and there seems to be a layer of luster flowing on it. It is extraordinary at first glance.
There are some round holes on some of the stone slabs. I don’t know what was placed there before.
There are some thin lines on many small stone slabs, as if there are some rules, but it is hard to tell for a while.
There are some patterns on some other stone slabs, but these patterns seem to be messed up.
"Puzzle piece?" Zu An's eyes flashed.
"Hey, this seems to be a star map." Mi Li came out of Tai'a Sword at some unknown time. Bi Linglong was startled, but Zu An had long been accustomed to her elusiveness.
"Star map?" Zu An asked hurriedly.
"Do you still remember the words engraved on the stone tablet we found under the strange fish temple before?" Mi Li said.
"...On the left is the blue dragon Meng Zhang Jiayin, on the right is the white tiger overseer Jiashen, on the head is the red bird mausoleum of Jiawu, on the foot is the Xuanwu holding the Ming Jiazi, and the moon is the noble man in the center..." Those words appeared in Zu An's mind, and then he looked towards
That large array of stone slabs suddenly made his eyes light up, "So that's it!"
He was about to reach out to fiddle with the stone slabs on the ground, when suddenly Mi Li's expression changed: "Be careful, someone is coming."
After saying this, her whole body turned transparent.
Zu An hurriedly looked back. If he were an ordinary person, Mi Li would never be so afraid. At worst, he would kill him without hesitation. There is only one explanation for this.
Sure enough, a burst of laughter came: "It's really hard to find a place even if you wear iron shoes, it takes no effort at all!"
The laughter made the nearby leaves rustle. Bi Linglong turned pale and tightly grabbed Zu An's sleeve. She said in a trembling voice: "Azu, if things can't be done, let's jump down from here.
You can also die happily."
As a member of the royal family, she is most aware of the emperor's sinister methods. Based on what happened between the two of them, if she falls into the emperor's hands, life will definitely be worse than death.
Zu An patted her hand gently: "Don't worry, we haven't reached that point yet."
Bi Linglong was startled, she really couldn't imagine why he could still be so calm now, but his calm words had an inexplicable ability to make people feel reassured, and her beating heart gradually calmed down.
A bright yellow figure faintly appeared on the horizon, leaving behind a series of afterimages. In almost the blink of an eye, he had already arrived in front of the two of them.
Zu An secretly lamented that the opponent's speed was still under the premise that this world was extremely suppressing him, and his cultivation was simply disappointing.
"Want to be lovers with the same fate? It's not up to you now." Zhao Ruizhi looked coldly at Bi Linglong's hand tightly grasping Zu An's sleeve. It was obvious that the conversation between the two just now was not hidden from his eyes and ears.
Now that he was at such a close distance, he was confident enough that the life and death of others depended entirely on his thoughts.
"Is the emperor planning to kill me?" Zu An sighed.
"Kill you?" Zhao Ruizhi sneered, "It would be too easy for you to die like this. I will castrate you and bring you back to the palace. I will clean the toilet every day and pour night fragrance on you. From now on, I will chop your body into pieces every other year."
A part that allows you to fully experience the fear of waiting for death; in the end, when your limbs and five senses are gone, you will be soaked in a cesspit, and your life will be hung up with ginseng elixir every day.
Irrigation by the eunuchs in the palace..."
After hearing his words, Bi Linglong's knuckles turned white when she pinched them, and she couldn't help but want to vomit several times. She regretted why she didn't die earlier, and now she couldn't die even if she wanted to.
Zu An was also speechless: "..."
This bitch is really vicious. Can a human come up with such a perverted punishment?
At this point, there was nothing to be polite about. He said coldly: "It's a pity that not only can you not treat me like this now, you also have to beg me."
"I beg you?" Zhao Ruizhi laughed loudly, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
At this time, He Li and others were panting and just caught up. When they heard Zu An's arrogant words, they all looked at him with sympathy. Is this guy going crazy because he was too scared?
Zhao Ruizhi suddenly put away his smile and said coldly: "This is a big joke. I will castrate you now and see what you can do to me."
Zu An was about to speak, but was pressed by the opponent's hand. He immediately found it difficult to breathe, let alone speak.
"I know you are eloquent, but if you can't save everything, you have no idea of saving your life. I don't want to listen to your nonsense." Zhao Ruizhi snorted coldly.
