Chapter 67

In the early morning, Su Hailing woke up, and was about to stretch his sore body after lying down all night, when a black cloak slipped off his shoulders.

Dazed for a moment, she grabbed the corner of the cloak and looked out of the window. She saw Mei Junhan dancing with a sword. Not far away, a pile of charred firewood still had puffs of green smoke, which had obviously been extinguished not long ago.

"Lazy pig, are you finally up?" Following Situ Ye's voice, something flew from the back of his head.

Su Hailing turned around and took it neatly in his hand, it was still hot.

"Early in the morning, I can only warm up the dry food." Situ Ye had a pancake in his mouth and a water bag in one hand, with a faceless look.

Su Hailing raised his hand and took a bite of the cake, then asked casually, "Are you all up?"

"Someone is very angry." Situ Ye smiled "hehe", pointed to Mu Qingchen who was leaning against the door, and threw another medicine to her, "Twelve hours are almost here, take another medicine."

"Qingchen..." Su Hailing swallowed the pill with a dry smile.

"Dare to touch my acupoints, you are so courageous." Mu Qingchen raised her eyebrows and said coldly.

"Isn't it the apprentice you taught?" Situ Ye hid aside and said sarcastic words.

Su Hailing glared at him fiercely, and coaxed him for a long time before dispelling Mu Qingchen's resentment.

"I'm not interested in watching you flirt. What should I do now?" Situ Ye spread his hands and said helplessly, "I can't find the Linglong Golden Cauldron, and the prescription is useless."

Su Hailing couldn't help frowning when he heard the words, turned his head to look, but he didn't see Haoyue, and wondered: "Where is Haoyue?"

"He is still looking for it without giving up." Situ Ye shrugged, "Just now we have found all the medicinal materials we need, only the Linglong Golden Cauldron is missing."

Su Hailing was stunned, and couldn't help being moved.

"It's useless to look for it like this." Mu Qingchen shook his head and said, "No matter how hard you look for something that doesn't exist, you won't find it. And if there really is...it's definitely not where we can find it casually."

Su Hailing fell silent, and began to think carefully, if there really was a Linglong Jinding, and he was Shangguan Xuanji, where would he hide the things?

Thinking, her eyes slowly fell on Situ Ye's face.

"What are you looking at me for?" Situ Ye looked himself up and down, then touched his face, but found nothing wrong.

"Has your master ever given you anything strange?" Su Hailing asked.

"Strange thing?" Situ Ye was taken aback, then fell into deep thought.

Mu Qingchen looked at him, then at Su Hailing, walked to the table, picked up the water bag and drank.

It took a while for Situ Ye to shake his head dejectedly: "Except for life-saving and detoxifying medicines, she really didn't give me anything. Speaking of which... how can there be such a master? Not even a greeting ceremony!"

"I don't believe you didn't take it yourself, hand it over!" Su Hailing stretched out his hand angrily.

Situ Ye curled his lips, reluctantly took out a gold lock piece from his neck and handed it to her, while saying: "This thing is gold, but it has nothing to do with Ding, right?"

Su Hailing took a closer look, but it was just an ordinary gold ornament, and the carving was not very delicate, it was far worse than the ornaments in the palace, but it seemed that it had been a few years old.

"Isn't it just a gadget from the market, Master Piansheng still carries it with him every day like a treasure, and often stares at it in a daze, sitting all night long, as if possessed by a demon." Situ Night complained.

"Oh, this is the treasured item of the senior evil doctor?" Su Hailing's eyes lit up.

"I've already taken it apart and checked it, but there's nothing there." Situ Ye immediately poured cold water on it, "I saw her expression as she rubbed the lock plate, as if she was missing some old lover."

Could it be something left by a former lover, that's why it's so precious?Hearing this, Su Hailing couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and was about to return the golden lock piece to Situ Ye, but suddenly a hand stretched out from the side and snatched it away.

"Qingchen?" Su Hailing was stunned.

"I seem to have seen this thing before." Mu Qingchen frowned, looking carefully at the gold lock piece in his hand, trying to search for fragments of memory in his mind.

"Have you ever seen it? How is it possible?" Situ Ye didn't believe it. "Master treats this thing as a treasure. I can't even touch it. I was so angry that I sneaked out. Master was so angry that he almost tore down the medicine house." Uh... I dare not tell her that I took it, so I have kept it until now."

"I really wonder if senior evil doctor was pissed to death by your unscrupulous apprentice." Su Hailing hit him with a chestnut.

"Eh?" Mei Junhan who pushed the door and entered, his eyes fell on Mu Qingchen's hand, and his expression changed suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Su Hailing's heart suddenly moved, and an absurd idea popped up, could it be...

"This golden lock... where did you get it?" Mei Junhan asked.

"It belongs to my master, what's wrong?" Situ Ye said in surprise.

"This is a treasure handed down from the Xuanming Palace. It was originally a pair, but it lost half of it 30 years ago." Mei Junhan said.

"Things from Xuanming Palace?" Su Hailing paused for a while before asking, "Is it a treasure handed down from generation to generation?"

"It is recorded in the ancient books of the Xuanming Palace that this pair of golden locks is related to a great secret—" Mei Junhan said, taking out a golden lock from the closet. Sure enough, the workmanship, texture, and carving are exactly the same. The only difference It's just that the engraved patterns are different, Mei Junhan's is a small bell, while Situ Ye's is a dragon.

"Secret?" Su Hailing curiously put the two gold lock pieces together for comparison. The patterns... don't match at all!
"I don't know, just because of this sentence, generations of Xuanming Palace have passed it on as a token to the next Palace Master." Mei Junhan glanced at Situ Ye and said, "When I took over Xuanming Palace, Jin There is only half of the lock left, who would have thought that I would see it here today."

"This thing..." Mu Qingchen, who had been listening for a long time, finally said, "When I was young, I saw it next to Master."

"Huh?" Su Hailing only felt that the matter was more complicated.It seems... Shangguan Xuanji, Qinglian Sword Immortal, ghost doctor Wujiu, and the former master of Xuanming Palace must have some kind of relationship, but... at this moment, only ghost doctor Wujiu is left alive Alone.

"The question is, is this thing related to the Linglong Jinding?" Situ Ye asked doubtfully.

"Show me again." Su Hailing took two golden locks and began to study them.

Now that I know that this thing is not simple, and it is related to some secrets, maybe... there is really a clue?The three of them also stared at her nervously.

At this moment, there was another faint tremor on the ground.

"Another person broke into the formation?" Mei Junhan raised his eyebrows, revealing his murderous aura.

"How strange!" Situ Ye had a heavy and puzzled expression on his face, "I have also seen many people in the Jianghu who overestimated their strength and entered the formation, but the power of the formation should not be spread outside the formation."

While speaking, the vibration on the ground seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.

"No, it's really an earthquake!" Su Hailing stood up abruptly
She also participated in the army's earthquake relief before, and experienced several aftershocks. When she thought that the location of the medicine house was surrounded by mountains, her face changed drastically: "Where is Haoyue?"

"He said he was going to visit the valley." Situ Ye said.

"Oops!" Su Hailing casually threw the gold lock piece to Mei Junhan, and rushed out, saying, "Hurry up and find an open place!"

"Hello!" Mei Junhan followed without thinking.

The house of "Boom" Yaolu was already tossed hard by them, but now it couldn't stand the shaking, and most of it collapsed immediately.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Mu Qingchen grabbed Situ Ye's collar and walked out through the window.

As soon as it landed, there was a loud noise behind it, and the whole medicine house had been turned into ruins.

Mu Qingchen casually threw Situ Ye to the ground, then turned his head to look around, but couldn't find Su Hailing's figure in his eagerness.

Countless stones began to roll down from the surrounding cliffs. At first, they were small stones, but later, they seemed like the power of landslides and ground cracks.

"Hailing!" Mu Qingchen shouted, although the sound of the landslide was very loud, it still couldn't suppress what he said with his internal energy.

Su Hailing on the other side also heard his shout, but she didn't have the skill of Mu Qingchen, so she could only cover her mouth and nose with one hand to resist the dust in the sky, while anxiously looking for Haoyue's figure.

"You don't want to die!" Mei Junhan pulled her aside angrily.

"You go out first!" Su Hailing shook off his hand, and ran towards the valley again.

"You... If it wasn't... I wouldn't be bothered to care about your life!" Mei Junhan stomped his feet, looked back at the ruined medicine hut, hesitated for a second, and followed Su Hailing's direction to catch up.

Carefully avoiding the boulder the size of a millstone that fell from the top of his head, Su Hailing anxiously called Haoyue's name.It's not that she doesn't know the danger of staying, but...if she abandons Haoyue without hesitation and turns around, is she still a woman?
No matter what knots in Haoyue's heart have not been untied, she only knows that at least one thing will not change.That is——Haoyue, it's her person, her responsibility!
"You don't want all the country for a man!" Mei Junhan roared.

"Jiangshan, lover, I will hold it in my hands!" Su Hailing's voice was very calm, without showing any panic, but it made Mei Junhan startled for a moment. At first, she thought she was going crazy, she was impulsive!

"Be careful!" Just as he was thinking, Su Hailing suddenly threw himself on him and knocked him away forcefully.Almost at the same time, a stone the size of a human head hit the ground where they were standing just now.

"It's too dangerous here!" Facing the power of nature, Mei Junhan couldn't help being startled.

"Hurry up and get out, I have experience in dealing with this kind of situation." Su Hailing continued to run in without looking back.

experience?what experience?Mei Junhan was at a loss. There had been no strong earthquakes on the mainland for more than 100 years. Where did she get her experience?
Looking at Taniguchi, which was covered in smoke and dust, Mei Junhan gritted his teeth and rushed in with Su Hailing.

I don't know why, but he just...can't let go of this woman.Forget it, even if it is Lu Haiyuan, give her life back!
"Why are you still following me?" Su Hailing said angrily.

"If you die, who will I ask for my debt?" Mei Junhan pushed back forcefully.

Su Hailing had no choice but to argue with him at this moment, so he had no choice but to let him go.

Stumbling to the end of the valley, Mei Junhan had to admit that, in this situation, not only could he not help, but it also slowed down Su Hailing's speed.This woman really didn't lie, she really knew how to protect herself in an earthquake.

"Haoyue!" Seeing no one, Su Hailing yelled again.

"Maybe he has gone out!" Mei Junhan said while supporting the cliff.

"Let's go!" Su Hailing turned around resolutely, since she didn't see Haoyue, it's not her style to stay here looking for life and death!

However, at this moment, the sky suddenly darkened——

"Get down!" Su Hailing pushed Mei Junhan down without thinking, and rolled close to the cliff.

"Boom" With a continuous loud noise, countless stones collapsed from the cliff.

Su Hailing pulled up the cloak to cover the heads and faces of the two, so as not to be choked by the sand and dust, while hugging Mei Junhan tightly to stop him from moving around.

In the darkness, only two crystal eyes were shining brightly.

After a while, the collapse stopped, and the shaking of the ground also began to weaken.

It wasn't until everything around him was completely still that Su Hailing breathed a sigh of relief, pulled back his cloak, and shook off a thick layer of sand and stone.

"It's over?" Mei Junhan stood up slowly, his face still pale.

No matter how conceited he is in martial arts, compared with the power of the world, his personal strength is so small that it can be ignored.

"It's not hurt, is it?" Su Hailing smiled.

"I'm fine, you..." Mei Junhan shook her head, only to find that her right arm was bright red, "You're injured!"

"It's nothing, it's just a flesh injury." Su Hailing glanced at the wound indifferently, and took out the medicine bottle from his arms.

"I'll do it." Mei Junhan took the bottle guiltily and helped her bandage it.Originally...she wouldn't be hurt, if she hadn't been protecting her just now...

"My blood is poisonous, be careful, don't get it on it." Su Hailing reminded.

"En." Mei Junhan agreed, tore open her sleeve, sprinkled the medicinal powder on the wound, and then tore off a piece of clean cloth from her inner garment to tie it tightly.

Su Hailing breathed a sigh of relief, and then he was in the mood to look at the surrounding environment.

However, the original pattern of mountains has changed, and only half of the towering cliffs are left, and countless tree roots and broken rocks can be seen exposed.And most importantly, the path out of the valley was completely blocked by the collapsed gravel on both sides!

"Oops!" Mei Junhan's face changed, "We are trapped here."

"It's okay." Su Hailing didn't care too much, and moved his injured arm slightly. Seeing that it didn't affect his usual activities, he nodded with satisfaction, and said, "It's a big deal to turn over, it's not a cliff, it won't trouble us. Let alone Qing Chen and Situ will also think of a way, I am only worried about Haoyue."

As she spoke, she frowned again.

"I think you should worry about yourself first." Mei Junhan said unhappily, "I don't know if the earthquake destroyed all the poisons in the valley. The medicine Situ Ye gave us can only last for twelve hours. We'll have fun watching it before the time goes out!"

"Uh..." Su Hailing stopped immediately.I really forgot about this trouble...
