Half-life immortal

Chapter 5 Long hair and short hair, the bloody sword and the crow in the bamboo forest
After chatting for a while, Xue Qinglan had a deeper understanding of the "murderer" in front of her.This guy is not as talkative as she thought at first, but a bit taciturn. She is basically nagging along the way. Only when she asks a question or needs an explanation from him, this guy will speak slowly. sentence.However, even if the explanation is precious, many things need Xue Qinglan to make up by herself...

She pestered him to ask a bunch of things about cultivation, Feng Yutian also gave concise and concise answers, but when asked about the weird black flame yesterday, he avoided answering, as if he didn't want to say more about this question.

Xue Qinglan is a smart girl, since the other party doesn't like this topic, she will not continue talking without interest, and simply change the subject, saying: "Then tell us about your teacher, that one is called Taiqing What's going on?"

"Jade Blossom Sect of Mount Taiqing."

Xue Qinglan lowered her head and smiled secretly. In fact, she remembered the name of his teacher, but she just wanted to lure him to say a few more words.If speaking is considered physical work, then he is lazy if he does not speak, and Xue Qinglan will not allow herself to suffer.

She thought for a while, and said: "Why do you always emphasize Taiqing Mountain? Are there other Qionghua sects? Or are there a lot of sects in Taiqing Mountain?"

"That's not true. There are also sects of the same origin, but they are far away from Taiqing Mountain." Feng Yutian said while taking out a hair rope to tie up his long hair.

Seeing him tie his hair, Xue Qinglan volunteered, "I'll help you!"

Feng Yutian looked at her strangely, hesitated for a while, but still did not refuse, and handed her the hair rope.

Xue Qinglan pulled him to sit on a stone beside him, then stood behind him and combed his long hair carefully.Her fingers are white and delicate, and the black hair between her fingers is like a waterfall, and she can feel strands of black hair when she slides her fingers.

"Do you like to comb your hair?" Feng Yutian felt that she was combing seriously, so he couldn't help asking.

Xue Qinglan smiled and said: "Yes! I envy your long black hair the most. It's a pity that no one is willing to let me play with it. You can tie it up casually!"

Feng Yutian was puzzled and said: "Most people now have long hair, and very few people cut it off. Since you like it, why don't you grow it yourself?"

In their era, especially people on the Middle Earth side, they pay attention to their parents, so few people cut their hair, no matter how long their hair is, they will keep it. It is actually very rare to have short hair like Xue Qinglan's.Generally, a girl of Xue Qinglan's age would have long hair with a shawl.

Xue Qinglan tied up his hair and carefully tied the bow with a hair rope. Feeling very satisfied, she casually replied: "Because it will be troublesome to take care of your hair, and I don't have the time. I can eat enough That's pretty good."

Feng Yutian whispered: "Since you like it, why are you afraid of trouble?"

Xue Qinglan blinked her eyes, and made up a casual way: "Oh, I actually kept some before, but then I accidentally caught fire and burned a lot, so I simply cut it short. Okay, let's not talk about it Come on, let's go!"

Feng Yutian felt a little strange when he heard it, and felt that she was prevaricating, wondering if she had any unspeakable past events?
But he wasn't a good person at all, so he didn't ask any more questions, and ended the conversation in silence.Since they met by chance and they were on the road together, they were not even considered friends, so it seemed unnecessary to get to the bottom of it.Although he was very interested in why she could restrain his fierceness, it was limited to that, and he didn't want to force her to do anything.

At noon the next day, they came to the deep swamp bamboo forest.

It was also Xue Qinglan's first time here, so naturally she couldn't make more suggestions, but it was very easy to judge whether they had reached their destination, because there was a huge warning sign on the road.The warning sign was made very large, with the words "Caution of Danger" written in big characters, as if afraid that people would not see it. It was made of bamboo, and I don't know how much bamboo was used.

Xue Qinglan didn't take it seriously, instead she giggled and said, "Look, this brand is so big and silly!"

Feng Yutian didn't smile, but stared at the depths of the bamboo forest with a serious expression, and said: "This place is indeed a place where spiritual energy gathers."

"Oh? There will be a legendary monster? I haven't seen it yet!" Although she often walks on mountain roads, for the sake of safety, she always takes official roads or busy avenues, and rarely walks alone in the wild.If she hadn't followed Feng Yutian this time, she would never have come here.

"No...Ziyingzhu is just rare, not a treasure, and there shouldn't be a powerful guardian spirit beast. However, the miasma here seems to be quite poisonous. If you want to go deep, you have to be careful."

In the rainy season these few days, the bamboo forest is always foggy, and the fog here is not small. With Xue Qinglan's eyesight, it is almost impossible to tell the difference between fog and miasma.It's just that in her original concept, this bamboo forest was synonymous with danger. After listening to Feng Yutian's words, and then looking into the depths of the bamboo forest, she felt a gloomy feeling no matter what.

She quietly retreated to the back of Feng Yutian, but Feng Yutian didn't notice it, and said in thought: "The future is unknown, why don't we leave here for now...Miss Qing?"

In the middle of his speech, he realized that Xue Qinglan ran up behind him, pinching his cuff.

After hearing his arrangement, Xue Qinglan immediately objected: "No! You want to leave me here alone? What if a wild beast suddenly appears and eats me?"

"...Miss Qing wants to go together?"

"Yes! Do you have an opinion?"

What else could Feng Yutian have an opinion on, after getting along these two days, he found that his verbal skills were no match for Xue Qinglan at all, almost everything she said was what she said, and black things could be white.

Before entering, Feng Yutian gave her a pill, which is a kind of detoxification pill, which can be used to avoid poison in the mouth, so that they will not be disturbed by the miasma.

"Huh? This thing is good! It's convenient and easy to use. Do you have any more?"

"...The medicine is three-point poisonous. Even if you take more of the detoxification pill without being poisoned, you will die."

"Okay, okay, look at your stinginess, just don't want it!"

Xue Qinglan couldn't help but say a few poor words to ease the tense atmosphere.Of course, she was the only one who was nervous, Feng Yutian was always sullen, no one knew what he was thinking.

The two walked inside for a cup of tea, only to feel that the surroundings became more and more quiet, the chirping of mosquitoes and birds became less and less, and the color of the surrounding bamboos deepened little by little as rumored, from turquoise to dark green, and even dark green. There are lake blue ones.

If it wasn't for the lingering miasma, maybe this place would still be a good place with beautiful scenery, but now Xue Qinglan only feels creepy, as if a man-eating monster will emerge from the bamboo forest at any time

"Wow--"

"ah------"

Suddenly a crow called, Feng Yutian didn't feel much, but Xue Qinglan behind her yelled louder than the crow.The two voices sounded almost at the same time, but the scream behind him was too loud and sudden, which really shocked Feng Yutian.

After Xue Qinglan yelled, she was stunned for a while before realizing that it was a crow, she took a long breath, patted her chest and said, "Phew, it turned out to be a crow, it scared me to death."

Feng Yutian said with a dark face, "Miss Qing."

Xue Qinglan pretended to be dazed and tilted her head and said, "You called me? What's the matter? Could it be that you were also scared by the crow? Oh, it's okay, it's okay! It's just a stinky crow, don't be afraid!"

Feng Yutian was speechless, thinking that I was frightened by you.It's just a crow screaming. Are you screaming louder than a crow?I guess that poor crow was too scared by you to make a sound, right?
Xue Qinglan probably also felt guilty, and changed the subject in a low voice: "But this crow is really strange. You said that a crow can survive in such a poisonous place?"

Feng Yutian explained: "Ordinary crows are naturally not good, but everything recurs, and there will always be some species that can adapt to the mutated environment. It is not surprising that there are birds here, but..."

He suddenly slowed down halfway through his speech, Xue Qinglan poked her head out from behind him, and asked curiously, "But what?"

Before Feng Yutian could answer, she suddenly felt a gust of wind above her head, and she couldn't help but look up, only to see a huge crow slowly descending from the sky, and the black shadow completely covered the two of them.

She was so frightened that her face turned pale. At this time, Feng Yutian drew out his sword, and slowly continued the second half of the sentence: "However, there is a lot of aura here. If there are really birds that can survive, there will probably be abnormal changes. Evolve into a spirit beast."

He had been mentally prepared in case Xue Qinglan behind him yelled again, but this time Xue Qinglan didn't make a sound.He turned his head slightly and took a look from the corner of his eye, only to realize that it wasn't because she became bolder, but because she was so frightened that her face turned pale and she couldn't speak.

This crow is slightly bigger than a human being, but when it spreads its wings, it looks extremely huge when looking down from above.

"Wow—" the crow cried out in protest.

Feng Yutian said coldly: "I don't want to kill you, but if you stop me, don't blame me for being rude."

Once beasts develop intelligence and spirituality, they will be very different from ordinary beasts. Immortal practitioners call them spirit beasts or monster beasts, which are different from monsters with full spiritual intelligence; Strange".

Spirit beasts will retain many of the characteristics of being a beast, such as territorial awareness. Once someone invades its territory, it will take the initiative to attack.Different from ordinary beasts, spirit beasts have relatively high intelligence and can often communicate.Immortal cultivators have different attitudes towards spirit beasts. Some like to enslave them, some like to slaughter them, and some are happy to live in harmony with them and regard them as family members.

Immortal cultivators who regard it as a friend will call it a "spirit beast", which represents intimacy; immortal cultivators who regard it as an enemy will call it a "monster beast".Generally speaking, spirit beasts are much weaker than monsters, with more numbers and weaker individual strength, but their harmfulness varies.If spirit beasts harm ordinary people, it is also the responsibility of immortal practitioners to get rid of them.

This crow is a spirit beast, and Feng Yutian is not a person who kills indiscriminately, if the crow spirit beast does not attack them, he will not kill them all.It's just that Feng Yutian also knows that the possibility of a peaceful solution is very slim.

"Wow!" The big crow screamed again, flapping its wings violently, and immediately rolled up a bamboo leaf.The bamboo leaves are extremely sharp in the high-speed rotation, and the effect is like a small hidden weapon, overwhelming the sky and covering the earth.

Xue Qinglan was so frightened that her lips turned white, she tightly grabbed Feng Yutian's clothes and hid behind him.But seeing him swinging the sword in his hand very calmly, the blood-colored long sword danced somehow, and a bloody sword dance appeared in front of his eyes, and the powerful energy smashed all the bamboo leaves around him into pieces.

The bloody air flow swept away, and merged with the black-gray mist to form a dark red air wave. The big crow did not expect that the human being in front of him was so strong. He was accidentally hit, and fell from the air to the ground screaming.

Feng Yutian withdrew his sword calmly, as if nothing had happened, and said, "Let's go."

Xue Qinglan was stunned, pointing at the still struggling big crow and said, "It's that...so simple? Ah, no, it's not dead yet? Are we going to leave like this?"

Feng Yutian shook his head, and walked forward, Xue Qinglan hurriedly followed, chattering non-stop in his ear.

He didn't expect her to regain her energy so quickly, so he had to explain perfunctorily: "It's not easy for spirit beasts to cultivate, besides, we broke into its territory first, so as long as we leave this area, it won't come after us, so why bother?" Hurting its life?"

Xue Qinglan nodded and said: "I can't see that you are quite kind. Seriously, you are so powerful! Just swiping the sword like that, the big crow fell down. Really strong!"

Feng Yutian glanced at her, but didn't say anything.

He couldn't help thinking to himself, if the master came in person, he might not need to make any moves, he just needs to stand there, and all the spirit beasts, big and small, in the bamboo forest will give way to him.This is the nature of the strong among spirit beasts, he is still too weak, otherwise the scene just now would not have happened at all.

If Xue Qinglan knew what was going on in his heart, he would definitely be accused of hypocrisy.Killing the big crow with one move, the strong one can walk sideways and still say that he is weak, what is it if it is not hypocrisy?
Fortunately, he didn't say it, saving a lot of nonsense between the two of them, but Xue Qinglan would still find something to say: "By the way, you didn't use your super scary black flame, did you?"

The black flame when they first met left a deep impression on her, and she still has some fears until now.In terms of horror, the big crow just now was not as good as flattering him. That's why Xue Qinglan regained her spirits so quickly.

Speaking of this, Feng Yutian had to answer, saying: "If I hadn't encountered an enemy that was difficult to fight, I would not use my fierceness. But you have to remember, once I use fierceness, I must stay away from me. Run as far as you can.”

Xue Qinglan seemed to think about it seriously, and said, "Oh..."

Reminiscent of the scene that day, she wondered if she would be so frightened that her legs became weak again, and she couldn't even escape?The strength of the murderer itself is not bad, so there should be relatively few situations where he can't fight against him, right?Shouldn't be so unlucky, right?This is not right, everything happens in case, if it is like that time, what should she do?
How to do it……
