Fortunately, the grassland near the foothills of Kunlun Mountain has not been affected.
At the intersection of the mountain road, dozens of Emei female disciples simply formed a circle using horse-drawn carriages as a tent.
The disciples watching the night happened to notice Zhou Zhiruo walking staggeringly.
"Head!"
"Master, are you okay?"
The group of people stepped forward quickly, and then realized that there were several people following Zhou Zhiruo.
Zhou Zhiruo didn't say much, but just gave instructions indifferently.
"You take the brocade box from the carriage."
"Yes, Master!"
These female disciples were all close followers of Zhou Zhiruo. After clapping their fists in response, they took down a brocade box from the carriage.
The brocade box was wrapped in brocade, and there was a wooden box inside. At first glance, it looked like a box for luggage.
It was only after the brocade box was opened that an exaggerated golden knife suddenly appeared.
The sharp sword energy flashed past, even forcing the Emei disciple who was carrying the brocade box to stagger back, and the brocade box in his hand couldn't help but fall out.
At this moment, a young man reached out and took the dragon-slaying sword in his hand.
This dragon-slaying sword is about four feet long and weighs more than a hundred kilograms. It is completely black and heavy, neither gold nor iron, but rather like a piece of black coal.
Only the gilt dragon head jewelry on the blade handle looks vaguely domineering.
Chen Xuan tightened his grip on the handle of the sword and used his inner strength to draw it. The swords in the hands of the Emei disciples around him suddenly trembled.
It turns out that this dragon-slaying sword must be sharp, overbearing, and indestructible. It also has extremely strong magnetism and can absorb iron objects.
Chen Xuan was feeling curious, but Zhou Zhiruo turned his back and said indifferently.
"Chen Shaoxia, you returned the sword from Emei Town. Now that the dragon-slaying sword has been handed over to you, things are now settled between you and me."
"Liangqing?"
Chen Xuan casually put the dragon-slaying sword back into the brocade box and said with a smile.
"Master Zhou, I've settled the matter by exchanging the Yitian Sword for the Dragon-Slaying Sword, but I saved your life just now, how are you going to repay me?"
Zhou Zhiruo's face darkened.
"Hmph! Chen Shaoxia, don't get carried away!"
Chen Xuan didn't take it seriously and just joked.
"Zhiruo, I saved your life, so you should pledge yourself to me. How can you, the majestic head of Emei, not uphold the moral principles of the world?"
"Chen! You!"
Zhou Zhiruo was furious, but she didn't expect that Chen Xuan didn't continue talking in the middle of the flirtation. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Xiao Zhaodao.
"Feeling better?"
Xiao Zhao shook his head.
"No, that woman gave us all medicine, but now we have lost all our power and our limbs are weak."
"All your skills are gone, your hands and feet are weak?" Chen Xuan frowned, vaguely thinking of something.
As expected, Zhao Min reminded from the side.
"It should be Shixiang Ruanjin Powder. I also have a backup antidote."
"That's good." Chen Xuan nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
If Zhao Min didn't have the antidote, he would have to go back, which would take a lot of energy.
It was safe for the time being. Chen Xuan thought about it and couldn't help but wonder.
"Minmin, the woman in the tent just now was..."
"She is the adopted daughter of my brother Timur."
"Expanded Timur?"
Hearing Chen Xuan's choice of words, Zhao Min couldn't help but roll her eyes at him even though she was worried.
"If you are not used to it, you can also call my brother to protect the king. The girl's name is Yelu Guanyinnu."
"Yelu? Is this surname Liao?"
"Yes, this woman is originally from the Khitan. She is the eldest princess of the Liao Kingdom and the eldest daughter of the Empress Dowager Xiao. She is the eldest daughter of the South Academy of the Liao Kingdom. She is a talented scholar and has been smart and knowledgeable since she was a child. The Great Yuan Dynasty dominated the north and looked down upon Tubo, Xixia, and the North.
Liao and other countries."
Zhao Min frowned slightly and continued.
"My brother Wang Baobao made great achievements in battle in his early years. He led the Mongolian cavalry to destroy the city and the stronghold, and fought all the way to the capital of the Liao Kingdom. Finally, the Queen Mother Xiao asked this woman to recognize my brother as her adoptive father to show her submission to the king and father, so there are many
Such a relative."
"That's it." Chen Xuan heard this and was speechless for a moment.
According to what Zhao Min said, this woman should have a surname of Xiao, and she had no dealings with King Ruyang of the Yuan Dynasty, so she was considered a hostage of the Liao Kingdom.
No wonder she asked someone to chop Zhao Min down, she probably had a grudge for a long time.
It's just that from the look on Zhao Min's face, she is quite concerned about her free niece.
Chen Xuan asked briefly. He wanted to chat with Zhao Min again, but Dao Baifeng stepped forward to remind him.
"It's not a good place to stay here for a long time, and I don't know if there will be pursuers. I think it's better for us to leave first."
"Yeah" Chen Xuan nodded.
This place is too close to Guangmingding. What's more important is that if Xiao Guanyin leads his troops to pursue him, there will be a hard fight.
At that moment, Chen Xuan hurriedly greeted everyone to set off.
Zhou Zhiruo had her back to him the whole time. She clearly said that she was the head of Emei, but at this moment she had lost all her skills and could not say anything. Instead, she became angry.
Chen Xuan rushed everyone to the carriage and pulled her into the carriage.
As the carriage wheels creaked and turned, Chen Xuan threw aside his clothes that were wet by the thunderstorm, and leaned against the window to enjoy the cool breeze for a while.
But he didn't expect that when he turned around, he saw Zhou Zhiruo huddled in the corner of the carriage, as if she didn't want to see him yet.
Chen Xuan couldn't help but sneered and pulled her into his arms.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Zhiruo actually held a hairpin in his hand, and she stabbed him in the neck with the hairpin!
She is now in the body of Shixiang Ruanjin Powder. She has lost all her skills. How can she hurt Chen Xuan in the slightest?
However, Chen Xuan tilted his head slightly, moved his shoulder towards him, deliberately dissipated his inner energy, and immediately responded and was stabbed with a bloody hole by the hairpin.
Zhou Zhiruo obviously didn't expect that this hairpin would actually hurt him, so he trembled subconsciously.
"I...I..."
"What am I? Master Zhou, you stabbed a bloody hole in my shoulder. I will have to stab you twice in a while."
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Zhiruo was a little panicked, but she couldn't help but said in embarrassment.
"Chen! You are so shameless! Don't underestimate me!"
"When did I underestimate you?"
Chen Xuan smiled lazily and hugged her in his arms, but didn't say much.
Zhou Zhiruo didn't want to but burst into tears.
The two of them rode a carriage together when they first entered the world. Now that they have experienced so much right and wrong, they naturally have a lot of emotions in their hearts.
Zhou Zhiruo wanted to ask Chen Xuan if he was using her to snatch the Yitian Sword when he took her to Guangmingding.
I also want to ask him why he helped the Ming Cult and injured many masters of the six sects.
If it hadn't been for his appearance, her master Miejie Shitai would not have been seriously injured, nor would he have been ambushed by Yuan soldiers and died tragically in Wan'an Temple.
She would not have taken over the position of head of Emei under the doubts of all the sisters. In order to take charge of Emei, she went against her true intention and embarked on a cruel and tyrannical path.
But all of this turned out to be a joke.
Chen Xuan is still the same as before, as free and easy as the wind, casual and romantic.
Even though he has become the head of Emei, he is still an inconspicuous little flower in his eyes.
After several bouts of annoyance, Zhou Zhiruo gritted her teeth and suddenly glared at Chen Xuan hatefully, clenched the hairpin tightly, and really planned to kill him once and for all.
Unexpectedly, when she looked up, she found Chen Xuan looking at her.
The two looked at each other, but Zhou Zhiruo's heart trembled, and she unconsciously recalled every detail of when he escorted her away from Kunlun.
But before Zhou Zhiruo could ask him a question, Chen Xuan suddenly said it lightly.
"I'm a little tired, I'll take a rest first."
"Hello?" Zhou Zhiruo frowned, a little annoyed.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xuan fainted immediately after he said he should rest.
In fact, he rode a fast horse all the way to help and didn't sleep for several days.
Just now, they killed people up and down Guangding Mountain, and even rushed into the Yuan soldiers' camp, desperately trying to rescue these girls.
No matter how high Chen Xuan's martial arts skills are, he can't withstand such a waste of time.
In a daze, not sure if he was too tired, Chen Xuan felt his body sinking as soon as he closed his eyes.
The whole person seemed to have fallen into a cold pool where the sun could not be seen, and kept falling.
The sensation of his hands and feet gradually blurred, and even the sensation of his body disappeared, leaving only a light soul that continued to fall.
In a daze, Chen Xuan seemed to see fireflies appearing in the darkness.
The light spots of fireflies continued to surround him, making him feel a faint warmth.
At the same time, the faint system prompt sounded again.
[You are extremely tired, but the internal energy in your meridians is strong and full. Due to your weak body and strong energy, your spirit can be further diffused. 】
[Your mind is ethereal, and your five senses and six senses are further strengthened. When you are on the verge of life and death and sleepy, you realize the true meaning of martial arts. 】
[You draw an analogy and start to meditate on Beiming Divine Kung Fu, the Great Shift of the Universe, Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu and other peerless martial arts.]
[Meditation progress 1%...2%...3%...]
[Meditation progress has reached 100%]
[Your understanding is extraordinary, and you clearly understand the true meaning of martial arts: the empty and silent Brahma Heart]
[You have learned "The True Explanation of Martial Arts: The Empty and Silent Brahma Heart"]
["The True Interpretation of Martial Arts: The Empty Brahma Mind" (Fragment): In Mount Sumeru, under the Bodhi tree, the Brahma mind is like a dream, a dream lasting a thousand years.]
["True Interpretation of Martial Arts: Empty Brahma Heart" (Fragment): The extremely rare martial arts state of mind can increase the speed of internal energy operation and greatly strengthen the process of practicing martial arts. When actively used, the five senses and six senses can be strengthened in a short period of time.
Greatly improve reflexes, immune paralysis, slowness and other abnormal conditions.】
After realizing this state of mind, Chen Xuan, who was confused, suddenly said "Ah!" and woke up with a jolt.
But as soon as he woke up, he looked up and found that he was being held in Zhou Zhiruo's arms.
Zhou Zhiruo was obviously startled by his movement and defended with a guilty conscience.
"You...you were so cold all over just now that you were shivering from the cold, so I..."
Only then did Chen Xuan notice that Zhou Zhiruo not only hugged him, but also covered him with a fleece blanket.
Although Zhou Zhiruo kept stumbling to explain, Chen Xuan didn't listen to her explanation attentively, and just suddenly smiled evilly.
"Where did Master Zhou learn this folk remedy? If I shiver, I have to hold it. What if I get epilepsy?"
"..." Zhou Zhiruo was still shy at first, but when she heard this, she immediately rolled her eyes at him.
But when she looked at Chen Xuan's lazy joke, Zhou Zhiruo's face couldn't help but darken a little, and she just said in her heart.
"He must have forgotten it."
She was forgotten in Butterfly Valley by Master Miejie and a group of Emei sisters. Finally, Chen Xuan led her to Guangmingding.
In the bitter cold land of the Western Regions, Huang Rong couldn't stand it all the way, let alone Zhou Zhiruo, who was new to the world.
At that time, she was freezing in the carriage several times. In her daze, Chen Xuan held her in his arms and breathed on her to keep her warm.
That period of time can be said to be a rare warm memory since she first entered the world.
It's a pity that he forgot all about it.
Just when Zhou Zhiruo was secretly feeling sad.
Suddenly feeling a chill in her chest, she came back to her senses, looked at Chen Xuan with wide-open beautiful eyes, and said in shock.
"What are you doing?"
"What do you think I want to do? Good lady, this long night..."
"You...get out!"
Zhou Zhiruo was ashamed and annoyed, feeling that the upright and gentle young man back then had suddenly turned into a greasy dandy.
Chen Xuan didn't feel guilty even if he didn't want her, he just hugged her and didn't let go, and even squeezed her twice.
It wasn't until Zhou Zhiruo was so angry that he almost got angry that Chen Xuan stopped smiling a little, looked into her eyes and said.
"You don't like it?"
Zhou Zhiruo said angrily, "Of course I don't like your tone!"
"Then...that's okay, you take me to the Kunlun Pass and I'll let you go."
Chen Xuan changed his previous careless attitude and said softly.
"You and I have met each other. Although it's not a close relationship, you are still the first girl I met when I first entered the world. I usually don't want to part with girls from other families who are good-looking, but you are Zhou Zhiruo, and I can respect you.
Your choice.”
"..."
He spoke seriously, which made Zhou Zhiruo stunned for a moment.
Chen Xuan at this moment reminded her of the caring young knight he once was.
Zhou Zhiruo's heart trembled but she couldn't help but tears welling up in her eyes. She couldn't help but asked in a trembling voice.
"Why did you hurt my master?"
"People can't help themselves in the world. How can you not understand this truth now that you are the head of Emei?"
"Well, I won't ask you about your affairs in the world. Chen Xuan, I... let me ask you, what do you think of me?"
As soon as Zhou Zhiruo said these words, Chen Xuan couldn't help but be stunned.
It was in Xiangyang City that he first entered the world. At that time, he met the pretty Huang Rong, the cold little dragon girl, and finally met the childish Zhou Zhiruo who was also new to the world.
To be fair, when Chen Xuan came to this world and saw these good-looking girls, he naturally had his thoughts.
Perhaps because Chen Xuan didn't respond for a long time, Zhou Zhiruo asked a question.
"I'm asking you, what exactly are you..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Xuan spoke up.
Zhou Zhiruo's eyes were full of tears, but the tears were still wet. At this moment, she felt a sweetness in her heart, and countless bitter, spicy, sour, and sweet feelings surged in her heart.
The clatter of horse hooves outside the window was heard.
The dusk haze in the distant mountains has gone, and a ray of morning light has spread over the top of the mountain, casting countless rays of light.
In the carriage.
Zhou Zhiruo hummed a few times, then suddenly woke up and pushed Chen Xuan away. However, she frowned and said angrily.
