"Huh?" Zhou Shaobai couldn't help but say wonderingly, "Why does this flower-picking thief bring this "Ten Essentials of Taoist Art"?"

Qin Ziling said curiously: "Brother Zhou, what kind of immortal method is this "Ten Essentials of Taoist Art"?"

"This is not an immortal technique. This is just an introductory technique practiced by the introductory disciples of Xiyun Sect. The effect is to calm down and concentrate, clear the mind and lack desires, and there is nothing special. Who among the fellows on the mountain has never learned this "Ten Essentials of Taoist Arts"?" Zhou Shaobai shook his head.

"Since it's just an ordinary introductory technique, why can this flower-picking thief say something about treasure? He also went to steal it for a lot of effort. Could it be that he stole the wrong one?" Qin Ziling guessed.

Zhou Shaobai scratched his head: "I don't know this. By the way, the girl from the Qin family, it's so dark, how could you run to the mountain alone and still take a bath here...?"

Qin Ziling's face turned red: "Actually, this is the case, my father and I...uh, I went up the mountain to pick a herb, which is this thing."

She took out a sack, carefully opened it, and took out a dark red grass: "Brother Zhou, look, this grass is called Crimson Pearl Grass. Legend has it that it has always been born on the banks of the Ling River. It receives the essence of heaven and earth every day, absorbs nectar to moisten it, and is the treasure of medicine. Some time ago, I came to the mountain to collect herbs and found that Crimson Pearl Grass growing near the lotus pond, so I came here to pick it today. After picking it, I sweated all over. I looked at the lotus pond cool and clean, and I thought that there would be no one else coming here, so I... I wanted to take a bath."

Zhou Shaobaiqi said: "Then you come to pick it during the day, let alone now. Look, you're meeting a bad guy."

"Brother Zhou, you don't know that this red pearl grass is very delicate. If you pick it during the hot weather during this summer, the medicinal power will be dissipated. You must be pick it at this cool night, preferably in the middle of the night, so that the medicinal power will not dissipate."

"Then why do you come here alone, a girl?"

"I thought there was Xiyunguan guarding Xiyun Mountain, so there would be no sluts. I didn't expect that I would have encountered an unexpected accident. If Brother Zhou hadn't happened to pass by, I wouldn't dare to think about it anymore..." Qin Ziling's eyes turned red and her voice was a little choked.

"Don't blame yourself, the girl from the Qin family. In the future, you have to be very careful when going to the mountains to collect herbs. It is best if someone walks with you." Zhou Shaobai found that Qin Ziling seemed to be unwilling to say something, but since she didn't want to say it, there must be her reason, and Zhou Shaobai was not inconvenient to ask the bottom of it.

"By the way, today is the sixth day of the sixth month, and it is the ascension ceremony of the ancestor of Xiyunmen. Brother Zhou, you are not on the mountain, but you are here. Why is that?"

Zhou Shaobai was speechless for a moment and thought to himself, I can't say that I want to escape.

"I am ordered by the master to come to patrol the mountain stream at night. I didn't expect to encounter this arson traitor, so I'll report it to my master when I go back to the mountain." After Zhou Shaobai said that, he thought to calm the Qin girl first and not let her see that I was running away.

Qin Ziling grabbed him: "No."

"Why?" Zhou Shaobai Qi said.

"Brother Zhou, this flower-picking thief said that the treasure robbery was all done by him this time. Don't you think it's strange? If this is true, then how did he get poisoned?" Qin Ziling said with a serious expression.

"This...yes, no one should use a vicious poison like snake blood grass in Xiyun Temple." Zhou Shaobai pondered, "Miss Qin, are you trying to say that he has accomplices?"

"Yes. Although you said that "The Ten Essentials of Taoist Art" is just a common object on the mountain, you see, this person hated Xiyunguan to the core, and set fire to steal. He also said that this was just the beginning and would razed Xiyunguan to pieces in the future. A person had such a deep hatred for Xiyunshan, and specially chose to start the ascension ceremony. He made such a big noise, but in the end he only stole a common martial arts formula and went down the mountain. This matter is too unbelievable. This book "The Ten Essentials of Taoist Art" must not be that simple." Qin Ziling thought for a while and said, "What's more, today is so special, and the mountain must be well prepared, but this person can ignite fires everywhere in Xiyunguan, which is so masterful. This is definitely not something he can do alone. If I guess correctly, his accomplices want to take this book alone, so they will find an opportunity to poison him."

Zhou Shaobai burst into tears in his sweat: "Then, they agreed on the meeting place. The thief's accomplices didn't even need to take action. They just wait for the thief to die and get this book "Ten Essentials of Taoist Arts."

He held the book in his hand tightly, and his forehead was sweating profusely. It seemed that this book would never be as simple as it seemed.

"Yes, and the place where they meet must be not far from here. In other words, his accomplices may be here soon..." Qin Ziling said, looking around nervously.

When Zhou Shaobai heard this, he said anxiously: "Since that's the case, we'll leave without delay."

"We have spent a lot of time here just now. Judging from the poisoning situation of this thief, even if he is not injured at this time, he will probably have died of poison. If I were his accomplice, I would definitely have calculated that he would appear when he was poisoned. At this time, this person must be near nearby. Brother Zhou, it is probably too late to escape." Qin Ziling shook her head.

Zhou Shaobai felt a stern and said seriously: "Since there is not enough time, please leave quickly, sister of the Qin family, I'm waiting here. If the bad guy comes here, I will definitely fight him. You can take the opportunity to get out and go down the mountain."

Qin Ziling felt warm and shook her head repeatedly: "This is absolutely impossible! Brother Zhou, please follow me!"

She hurriedly reached out her hand, held Zhou Shaobai's palm, turned around and left.

Zhou Shaobai has never had a blind date with a girl's skin in his 16 years of life. At this time, he held Qin Ziling's warm and smooth little hand, and his mind suddenly felt refreshed and his white face turned red.

Qin Ziling pulled Zhou Shaobai to a huge rock next to the lotus pond. Many vines grew on one side of the huge rock. Qin Ziling lifted up the vines, and there was a cave half a person tall inside. It was black and dirty inside, which seemed to be able to accommodate the two people.

"When I was looking for the Crimson Pearl Grass in this area, I accidentally found this stone cave. It was very safe inside. Come in quickly!" Qin Ziling entered the stone cave, and Zhou Shaobai also entered as he said.

It is said to be a stone cave, but it is actually just a slightly larger crevicle. The cave is extremely narrow, and the stone wall is covered with slippery moss. The two of them can only squeeze together in a squat position to barely hide in it.

Although it was a cool summer night, the cracks in the rocks were stuffy and humid. The two of them were sweating profusely as soon as they came in, and their thin summer clothes were tightly attached to their skin.

Qin Ziling was almost squeezed into Zhou Shaobai's arms.

Zhou Shaobai only felt itchy on his face. He knew that it was not the beads of sweat dripping down, but Qin Ziling's hair. The hair was brushed on his face, numb, itchy, but very comfortable. He had never felt this feeling before, so he was very panicked at this time, but he did not hate this panic, but was a little shy and happy.

The itch on his cheeks seemed to have infected his heart. Zhou Shaobai suddenly had a thought that scared him. He wanted to hug the beautiful girl who was almost squeezed into his arms.

Do not move if you are not polite! Do not move if you are not polite! Do not move if you are not polite!

Master Chengyu's face suddenly appeared in his mind, with a serious face.

Zhou Shaobai was shocked and his heart jumped, but the touch of the girl's curve made him feel a little restless.

At this time, Qin Ziling tightened her body and suddenly whispered: "Sure enough, someone is here."
