Chapter 52
Although Ji Baiyu couldn't see, his ears were extremely sensitive.When he was concentrating on looking at the books, he had already heard the sound of the stone door mechanism turning.Therefore, at the moment before the man came in, he flicked his finger lightly, and only heard a pop, and the candle on the wall went out in response.

The room suddenly went dark, I was startled, and was about to turn around to ask questions, when Ji Baiyu quickly flashed to my side, pulled me into the darkness, and signaled me to keep quiet.

I nodded in surprise.At this moment, the stone door opened suddenly, and a flickering candle flashed in.The candlelight was only the size of a bean, and there were several rows of tall black wooden bookshelves vaguely in the room, so I couldn't see the face of the person coming.

Ji Baiyu and I held our breaths, not even daring to let out a breath.I heard someone's footsteps sounding lightly, as if they were coming towards us, pinching Ji Baiyu nervously.Ji Baiyu nodded at me, I looked down, and saw that at some point, there was already a gleaming long sword in his hand.

After the visitor walked a few steps towards us, he fell silent.I wondered if he had discovered us.But after a while, I heard the sound of pages being turned.Ji Baiyu and I suddenly realized that this person came here to read books.

The man rummaged around us for a long time, then turned to the other side to rummage.I heard the pages of the book skimming anxiously, and guessed in my heart that he was looking for something, and I couldn't help being curious about this person.

Shuge has always been the most sacred place in ancient times, except for the disciples of the sect, outsiders are not qualified to enter at all.Besides, this place seems to be a private bookstore, so the people who come here must be Ji Wuxie and other dignified people besides Demon Lord Yanhuo.Could this person be Ji Wuxie?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but become more curious.While the visitor was looking down and concentrating on reading, I turned my head to look at the place with candlelight.Just look, the thin flame pierced through the darkness and shone on the blue cheeks of the visitor, a pair of golden eyes greedily stared at a roll of book paper.

For a while, I only felt a chill down my spine and a cold inside.Ji Baiyu seemed to notice my strangeness, and turned to look at me in surprise.I squeezed his fingers and told him, I know the person here.Ji Baiyu clenched his hands tightly, as if he wanted to pass the power in his body to me.

After reading the book for a while, the man walked to another shelf, picked up a book, looked at it for a long time, and then blew out the candle with a pop.

Seeing that the lights were off, I secretly let out a sigh of relief, thinking that the man was finally leaving.But at this moment, a gust of cold wind suddenly came from our left path, followed by a black shadow like lightning.

Ji Baiyu heard the wind, and flashed out a sword.There was only a bang and the sword was separated.Ji Baiyu fired several swords in succession, the visitor gently slid his sleeves, and easily dispelled the moves.We met a formidable enemy, Ji Baiyu knew that if we continue to fight like this, there will be no benefit for us, so he pulled me up and detoured around the bookstore.

The man didn't come to chase after him, he split his palm and hit the wall, and the extinguished flame suddenly lit up.His speed was extremely fast. We wanted to find Shimen and escape before the lights came on, but we were a step too late.

"Since the two of you are here, why are you in a hurry to leave?" The visitor stroked his beard lightly and said with a smile.

Ji Baiyu cupped his hands and said, "Please forgive us for breaking into your bookstore without permission. I don't know what your relationship is with Yanhuo?"

"Don't dare! How can this unknown person fall into the eyes of the Emperor?"

Ji Baiyu didn't expect the person who came to know him, so he couldn't help being startled.Seeing his bewildered face, I immediately said loudly: "The head of Kongtong Taiqing who traverses the three realms, don't come here without any harm! I didn't expect the head to be so capable that he is really Yan Huo's guest."

When Taiqing heard my name, his face darkened, he turned his head to look at me, and then said with a smile: "Who am I? The girl was captured by Yanhuo, but unexpectedly she is here. By the way, is Brother Shangqing alright? He rescued you?"

"Is he good or not, Mr. Taiqing must know the best. Mr. and Yanhuo arrested thousands of people in Kunlun, why did you forget it in a blink of an eye?" I said bluntly.

Taiqing smiled slightly and said: "I don't quite understand what the girl said. What does it have to do with me that you were arrested in Kunlun? I think it's because you are not good at learning, you can't defeat people in the demon world, and you refuse to admit defeat, so you are rogue me." Kongtong."

I heard Taiqing's big words without shame, and I was so angry that I rolled over.I've seen shameless people before, but I've never seen such shameless people. What kind of masters from the Three Realms dare to love, the head of a faction is actually a guy who doesn't blink.

Ji Baiyu smiled and said: "Since Mr. Taiqing said that the fall of Kunlun has nothing to do with you, why are you in this devil's lair? Could it be that Mister was also captured by Yanhuo?"

Taiqing said calmly: "What are you two talking about? This is my library cave in Kongtong. When did the flames get involved? Well, you two have come from a long way, why don't you come with me to the main hall of Kongtong, how?"

What is Taiqing talking about?We are obviously in the magic capital, when did we break into Kongtong?Ji Baiyu and I looked at each other in blank dismay for a moment, as if caught in a fog.However, this Taiqing has always been cunning, so you can't trust him.

Seeing my doubts, Taiqing said: "If you don't believe me, please follow me. You must have heard that there is a spring in Kongtong called Xiangleng Spring. Listen, isn't there the sound of water outside this cave? "

The reason why we entered this bookstore was because we heard the sound of water. Now we listen carefully, it seems that there is indeed the sound of water coming from the other side of the wall.Is it really the Kongtong outside?What's going on?

Ji Baiyu pondered for a while, then said with a smile: "Then Mr. Lao will be there."

When I heard that Ji Baiyu was going to leave with Taiqing, I couldn't help being surprised.After thinking about it, he went in without knowing it, and he must have been deceived by Taiqing's rhetoric.I reminded him in a low voice, not to trust Taiqing.

Ji Baiyu said loudly: "The head of Taiqing is famous, how can he be the one behind the scenes. There must be something strange about this matter, maybe Yanhuo secretly planted Kongtong."

Taiqing smiled and said: "Your Majesty is right. I really don't know what happened to make this girl misunderstand to such an extent. However, the old man believes that things will eventually come to light. What kind of."

When Taiqing talked about nonsense, his face turned red and his heart skipped a beat.Although I hate him for his cunning, I am even more angry with Ji Baiyu.He is always sensible, what happened this time?He ignored my reminders.I shook him off and stood aside angrily.

Ji Baiyu ignored me and followed Taiqing out.

Taiqing walked to the wall, raised his hand and twisted the lock, and the door opened with a bang.With the opening of the stone door, a ray of sunlight entered through the door, followed by the sound of a rumbling waterfall.

I looked up at everything, and wondered in my heart, why is it obviously a magic cave, but now it has become a Kongtong book cave?
Standing by the door, Taiqing asked Ji Baiyu to go out with a pleasant smile, then turned around to greet me.Although I was reluctant in my heart, I was really puzzled by this matter, and I also left the book hole angrily.

Outside the cave is a flat stone platform, opposite to the steep rock, which is covered with lush green vines.Taiqing then closed the stone gate, descended the bluestone steps, and led us to a cave.He said that Kongtong stands close to the mountain and it is inconvenient to walk. In order to save time, a road was opened in the mountain. Passing through these caves is the Kongtong Hall.

We wandered into the cave, which was very cold and intertwined, like a maze.Taiqing took us deeper and deeper, until finally the sunlight could not penetrate and it was pitch black.Suddenly plunged into the darkness, I couldn't help but start to panic, feeling that the danger seemed to be approaching gradually.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise behind him, as if something had collapsed.I turned around in surprise, and soon a smell of earth came to my nostrils.I felt bad in my heart, maybe the entrance to the cave was blocked by earth and rocks.

At this time, a sneer came, followed by a flash of sword light, Taiqing straightened his sword and stabbed Ji Baiyu straight.This sword was fast and accurate, there was only a sound of barking, and Ji Baiyu's clothes were torn apart.

The light in the cave was too dark, I couldn't see the situation of the two of them clearly, and when I was about to polish the fire, I suddenly remembered that Ji Baiyu couldn't see, and the darkness might be more powerful to him.So, he quickly stuck his body against the wall so that he could be caught off guard in the fight between the two.

There was a clash of swords and swords in the darkness, and then there was no sound.I listened intently, hoping to hear some movement, but there was a dead silence all around, as if I was the only living person in the whole cave.

"Your Majesty Renhuang, I advise you to obediently hand over the Qiankun Brush to me, otherwise the girl in Kunlun will die." Taiqing's gloomy voice came silently from the darkness.

There was no movement, and the surroundings were still dead.

Taiqing laughed again and said: "You must also know that the woman is actually a water spirit pearl. The old man heard that not only the demon clan, but also the human emperor clan want to find the dragon vein. Now she is in our hands, why don't we cooperate and discuss together?" How's the big deal?"

There is still no sound around, except Taiqing's impatient voice.

"The old man advises you to be more sensible. This hole has been blocked. That girl's life is in my hands now. Do you want her to die with her?"

Ji Baiyu still did not reply.I was apprehensive, and I dared not speak out.

Suddenly Taiqing laughed sharply again: "Okay. Let me tell you the truth, the old man Xiexian has been captured by me. He wants to help you escape, it is a joke. His meridians in his whole body will be reversed on the fifteenth of every month, and now he has no I was bound by iron chains, and it hasn't been a few days. Haha..."

Hearing the truth from what he said, I counted, and today is indeed fifteen.I've seen evil spirits go berserk, if they weren't restrained by iron chains, they might die.Thinking of this, I couldn't help breathing heavily.

Taiqing has excellent hearing ability, so he can detect my subtle changes.I saw a flash of cold light, and a long sword stabbed towards me.I hurriedly leaned over to dodge to the side, which exposed my position even more.Taiqing turned the hilt of the sword towards my chest, and his right arm has seized the momentum.I swung my fist to block it, but he was so powerful that he caught me before I even made a single move.

"What about Ji Baiyu? Her life is in my hands now, why don't you show up yet?" Taiqing laughed loudly.

I was caught by him, and I could only scold myself for being stupid.Taiqing knows that I have a deep relationship with the old man Xiexian, so he said those words to disturb my mind, forcing me to show up so that I can restrain Ji Baiyu.Unexpectedly, I was actually on the gear.

"Stop dreaming. Ji Baiyu has already left. If you have the ability, kill me." I yelled.

Taiqing sneered, pinched my throat directly, and said in a deep voice: "Ji Baiyu, I'll count to three, if you don't come out again, I will..."

I pinched my throat for him, I couldn't breathe, and I couldn't speak, my throat kept snoring, as if my throat would explode soon.

"three!"

"Wait!" Ji Baiyu shouted.

"Very good! Come here and light up the lamp for me." Taiqing ordered.

After a while of groping in the dark, the last fire lit up.Taiqing nodded in satisfaction, put me down, tapped my Ya acupuncture point, and said, "Give me the Qiankun pen."

I hummed desperately at Ji Baiyu, telling him not to be fooled by Taiqing.But Ji Baiyu comforted me a few words, took out a purple gold long brush from his bosom, and handed it to Taiqing.

Taiqing happily took the Qiankun brush, threw me to Ji Baiyu, took the torch and lit the torch on the wall, stood underneath and looked at the brush carefully.

"Sure enough, it's a good pen, no wonder everyone wants it." A sinister smile flashed across Taiqing's mouth, and suddenly he turned the pen and stabbed at Ji Baiyu's chest.

Ji Baiyu turned around, and the slanted stab sank into his side, and soon Ji Baiyu's moon-white clothes turned red.I saw that Ji Baiyu was injured, his palm became hooked and sharply pierced Taiqing's eyes.Taiqing pulled out the Qiankun brush, tilted his head to dodge it, and struck me with his palm.

Regardless of the injury, Ji Baiyu slashed his palm at his right shoulder and threw the long sword to me.I had a weapon in my hand, so I used the sword technique taught by the old man Xiexian to attack his left side.Although our two combined skills are not weak, we are still no match for that old man Taiqing.

Just look at him crossing the Qiankun brush, flashing his long sword, swishing a few strokes, Ji Baiyu and I are both painted.Ji Baiyu motioned for me to attack him up and down together, and we thrust our palms diagonally, making him exhausted, leaving no room for defense.But his palm strength is strong, we felt a sweetness in our chest as soon as we met his palms, and then flew out involuntarily, hitting the stone wall fiercely.

For this blow, Taiqing used eighty percent of his strength.We were limp on the ground, spitting blood, and couldn't get up for a long time.

Taiqing smiled coldly and said: "You two, I will send you to the west today." After finishing speaking, he struck with both palms hard at the top of our heads.

Ji Baiyu and I knew we would die today, so we closed our eyes and prepared to kill.But the two palms didn't come down, instead Taiqing fell to the ground by himself.

what happened?I saw Taiqing's face turned black, lying motionless on the ground, and I couldn't help being surprised.Ji Baiyu groped and crawled to Taiqing's side, and felt his pulse.

"He... what happened to him?" I asked in surprise.

Ji Baiyu didn't answer immediately, he gently put down Taiqing's wrist, and pressed it against Taiqing's chest to listen.At the end, he said lightly: "If I'm not wrong, he should have gone mad after practicing kung fu."

"Crazy?" I asked in surprise.

Ji Baiyu nodded: "You probably don't know that Kongtong's martial arts are pure, and it is most taboo to mix martial arts from other schools. I guess Taiqing is self-confident and does not believe in the teachings of his predecessors, so he insists on practicing martial arts from various schools. As time goes by , the zhenqi in his body collided with other internal forces, causing the meridians to flow backward, but it did not come out. Today, his internal energy was used too frequently, which caused the zhenqi to stagnate."

"Then is he dead?"

"Not yet. But there is only one breath left. If no one guides him, he will definitely die. But even if he is tutored, his martial arts will be completely abolished." After Ji Baiyu said, he lifted Taiqing's body, and seemed to want to save him gas.

"What are you doing? You don't want to live anymore. If you wake him up, we'll be dead for sure?" I said in shock.

"God has the virtue of good life. Naturally, God will punish him for his bad deeds, but we can't just ignore death." After finishing speaking, Ji Baiyu went to cheer him up.

What can I say now?Ji Baiyu has a kind heart, but I'm not that cruel.Although I hate being too clear and ruthless, as Ji Baiyu said, if we refuse to save him, won't we be the same as him?

Ji Baiyu gave Taiqing an infusion of qi, I adjusted my breath for a while, and felt much better, so I got up and went to see the way I was going, to see if there was any hope of getting out.But the result was disappointing. The entrance of the cave was blocked by gravel, and there was no hope of getting out.

I turned back depressed and told Ji Baiyu the situation.Ji Baiyu put down Taiqing, pondered for a while, and began to knock on the cave wall.I know that he must be looking for a mechanism, so thinking about it, how could a person like Yi Taiqing not leave a way out for himself?

But I don't know much about the number of organs, and I can't see where there is a switch.Ji Baiyu knocked for a long time, asking me to describe the situation in the cave.I told him everything I saw when I entered the cave.

He was holding a stone and kept drawing something on the ground, frowning tightly, without saying a word.After about a meal, he stretched his face, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Miss Ruoshui, do you still remember the position of the gossip?"

"Remember!" I said, "What's wrong?"

"Just remember. When I say something later, you can follow me to step on the gossip position, and then tell me when you see a protruding boulder." Ji Baiyu said.

I nodded, stood up, and followed his description to count.When he was about to reach Guimei's position, his feet suddenly softened, and a stone was embedded in the ground, followed by a rumbling sound, and a large stone protruding from the wall really appeared.I quickly told Ji Baiyu the location of the stone.Ji Baiyu nodded, using his internal strength to push, the stone shook a few times, turned to the side with a bang, and opened an opening following the hole.

I was ecstatic, and ran to the entrance of the cave to have a look, only to see that the breeze was blowing and the leaves were dense, and it really came out.Ji Baiyu took out the Qiankun brush from Taiqing's bosom, carefully moved him out of the cave, and put him under a pine tree.We just left.

We walked and looked sideways, and it turned out that this is a valley.The pines and cypresses in the valley are lush and the water vapor is dense, making it an excellent place for practicing.Turning around a mountain peak, I saw a large pool of ten feet square, the water was crystal clear, and there were nine water holes of different sizes in the pool, and water gushed out from the holes.

I went forward to try it, the water was warm, it turned out to be a hot spring.There is also a pavilion on the pool, and a stone tablet stands in the pavilion.Ji Baiyu and I walked into the pavilion.I saw the words engraved on the stele, "Xiang Lengquan... So this hot spring is called Xiangleng Spring." I told Ji Baiyu.

Ji Baiyu smiled and sat down on the pole of the pavilion, and said, "There is an allusion to this spring."

"What allusion?" I asked curiously.

"It is said that when the world was created, there were ten suns in the sky. Later, Hou Yi shot nine of them, leaving only one. These nine suns fell into the ground, scattered in nine different places, and turned into hot springs. They are Xiangleng Spring, Banshan Spring, Jiutang Spring, Hot Spring, Donghe, Huangshan, Xiaoan, Guangfen, Tangquan." Ji Baiyu said eloquently.

"I see." I nodded, I have learned a lot today.I heard that hot springs are the best for people. I leaned over and washed my face. It was really comfortable, and I felt that the injury just now didn't hurt too much.

I was washing and washing, and suddenly remembered something: "Why did you go with Taiqing just now? Do you really believe him?"

Ji Baiyu also came over to wash his face, and said: "I have heard about Taiqing before. I heard that he has been secretly cooperating with Yanhuo in an attempt to unify the Three Realms. Today you said that he conspired with Yanhuo to arrest people from Kunlun. I miss him." He must know where Kunlun's people are locked up, so he pretended to go with him, but in fact he was trying to trick him. But I didn't expect that he would also want to steal the Qiankun brush, it seems that he and this devil are not of the same mind."

Seeing that what he said was reasonable, I thought that I was narrow-minded, smiled and said: "I was also short-tempered at the time, please forgive me for offending."

He smiled and was about to answer when I suddenly said, "There seems to be a cave in front..."
