Almost every towering tree in the Killing Forest is twenty or thirty feet tall, blocking out the sky and allowing only sporadic sunlight to shine through.
At this time, a wooden flying spiritual weapon, describing a big bird, was slowly flying among the treetops.
In the "Flying Falcon", Liang Yan and Shui Linglong were sitting in the back row, monitoring the forest below from one side to the other. Between them, there was a man in green clothes sitting, who seemed to be in a coma.
Just looking at his steady breathing and rosy complexion, he was obviously fine.
"Is your Wooden Ox Tengu really useful? Why haven't you seen the shadow of Senior Brother Xue after so long?" Shui Linglong retracted her gaze and asked with some doubts.
"Hey, fellow water daoists, don't be impatient. According to the instructions, we are not far from Xue Tianyu now. Please wait patiently!" Wu Yong, who was sitting in front of the "Flying Falcon", chuckled.
After Shui Linglong heard what he said, she didn't feel like urging her anymore, so she turned to look at the sleeping man in green beside her.
"Fortunately, Junior Brother Xu is recovering well. Judging from his appearance, he should be awake soon. As the only survivor, he may be able to tell us some clues." Shui Linglong said with some relief.
At this moment, Liang Yan was suddenly heard shouting from the side:
"look down!"
Shui Linglong perked up and followed his gaze and looked down. Under a giant tree in the distance, there was a man in white clothes named Shengxue. He had an aura that was pure and simple. He was also carrying an oil-paper umbrella behind his back. It wasn't Xue Tianyu.
who?
But at this moment, his snow-white clothes were stained with bright red blood, which made him look a bit coquettish. Not far from him, a man in black robes was slowly falling to the ground.
"It's Junior Brother Dai Qing!" Shui Linglong exclaimed.
Xue Tianyu didn't seem to notice the person behind him. He pinched the magic formula in his hand, stepped on the Dongming Umbrella, turned into a white shadow, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"You take care of the injured, I'll go after Xue Tianyu!"
Liang Yan shouted loudly, turned over and jumped off the "Flying Falcon". While he was in mid-air, he performed the secret with one hand.
With a "swipe!" sound, the fixed light sword was unsheathed, and after catching Liang Yan steadily, it also turned into a meteor chasing the moon, chasing Xue Tianyu's white escaping light through the sky.
"Junior Brother Liang, be careful!"
Shui Linglong only had time to shout something from behind before she could no longer see Liang Yan.
"Huh? I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Liang to be a sword cultivator! And the speed of his sword flying is comparable to that of my 'Flying Falcon'." Wu Yong said in wonder.
"It's important to save people, land as soon as possible!" Shui Linglong shouted from behind.
"okay!"
Wu Yong pulled the lever, and the "Flying Falcon" slowly landed next to Dai Qing. Shui Linglong jumped down first, stretched out her hand to feel Dai Qing's pulse, and her expression immediately changed.
Without hesitation, she took out her storage bag, poured out several precious pills, stuffed them into Dai Qing's mouth one by one, and silently channeled her spiritual power into his eight extraordinary meridians.
.
As time went by, white smoke gradually rose from Dai Qing's head, but his face was still as pale as paper, with no trace of blood at all.
"it's useless"
At this time, Wu Yong shook his head and suddenly said.
"Shut up!"
Shui Linglong, who was constantly inputting spiritual power, shouted loudly, and still pressed her hands on Dai Qing's back, sending her spiritual power continuously into his body.
"Fellow Daoist Shui, why are you doing this? This person's meridians have been cut off and his vitality has been completely lost. If you do this, you are just wasting your spiritual energy in vain." Wu Yong said with a puzzled look.
As if to confirm his words, a muffled sound suddenly came from Dai Qing's body, and then his whole body fell limply to the side, leaving only Wu Zi raising his hands flat, making a gesture of transmitting spiritual power to the water.
"How could this happen?" Shui Linglong looked at the lifeless corpse of Dai Qing in front of her, and confusion suddenly filled her eyes.
"No matter how hard I try, I can only watch the tragedy happen. After all this pursuit, I haven't even been able to save a fellow disciple of the Yungang Sect. What's the point of doing all this?"
In fact, Shui Linglong is not an innocent woman who is inexperienced in the world. On the contrary, because she has been an orphan without a father or mother since she was a child, she has been able to experience the warmth and warmth of human nature and the deceitfulness of others very early in her life in the market.
.
Having seen the darkness in the world and receiving kindness and warmth from the sect, she cherished everything in front of her even more and was willing to protect it all. However, the successive failures at this moment made her feel helpless.
.
"Meaning? What's the point for mortals to eat and drink? What's the point for monks to practice immortality? If we have to ask for a meaning in everything, wouldn't it mean that all living beings in the world are no different from wild beasts who only rely on instinct?"
At this moment, a loud voice came from the woods. Shui Linglong followed the sound and saw a young man in gray clothes pushing aside the bushes in front of him and stepping out of the forest.
"The meaning may not be important. What is important is that you have been here, you have done it, and you act according to your own heart. Everything is enough!"
"Act according to your heart," Shui Linglong murmured.
Her eyes gradually regained clarity. After a while, she seemed to have woken up from a dream. She turned to look at the man in gray clothes in front of her and smiled softly: "I didn't expect that Junior Brother Liang actually defeated an entire army here!"
"Haha, Liang's knowledge is shallow, but he can't compare to Senior Sister Shui's great principles!"
After Liang Yan smiled, he suddenly sighed softly: "It's a pity that Xue Tianyu's escape method is so weird that even with my sword control skills, I can't catch up. His title of 'Xue Ying Wu Trace' is indeed not in vain."
!”
"It's not your fault. Senior Brother Xue's escape technique is indeed superb. Few disciples of the same level can keep up with him." Shui Linglong said.
Just as the two were talking, a groan suddenly came from the scene. The three people in the room turned their heads to look at the scene at the same time, only to see the man in green who had been unconscious opening his eyes leisurely.
"Junior Brother Xu Xiang, you're awake!" Shui Linglong said with a hint of joy.
"Huh?"
The man in Tsing Yi, who was called "Xu Xiang", looked around blankly and suddenly asked: "Isn't it that I was killed by Senior Brother Xue a long time ago? Was it Senior Sister Shui who saved my life?"
"It's indeed him!"
The three of them secretly thought at the same time.
Although she had predicted it, Shui Linglong still felt very uncomfortable at this moment. As a top disciple of the Yungang Sect's Qi Refining Generation, Xue Tianyu has always been generous and gentle to others. Unexpectedly, he would wantonly massacre his fellow disciples today. No one can accept it if he knows about it.
.
"Can you tell me about the situation at that time?" Liang Yan asked.
Xu Xiang nodded and said: "I met Senior Brother Xue accidentally a few days ago, and on his suggestion I planned to form a team to go to the Fire Cloud Hills together. But halfway through, Senior Brother Xue suddenly hit me hard for some reason.
Killer, my magical powers are not as good as those of Senior Brother Xue, plus he attacked me first, so I was beaten to the point of dying within a few rounds."
"Is there anyone else present at that time?" Liang Yan interrupted and asked.
Xu Xiang lowered his head and thought for a while and said: "When I was seriously injured and dying, I seemed to see the stone in Piaomiao Valley passing by. As for what happened next, I have no idea."
Liang Yan nodded after hearing this and said: "Last question, do you think Senior Brother Xue behaved differently from usual at that time, or did he behave strangely?"
