Dressed as a Heartthrob Cat [Transmigration Book]

Chapter 54

No one is destined to sleep peacefully this night.

Lin Ziqing tossed and turned, thinking about how to help his brother get out of trouble, and by the way teach Gu Xuerong a lesson.

Lin Jinglan sneaked into the Jianzong camp in the middle of the night, carefully inspected the surroundings, looking for the so-called sacrificial items, but found nothing, and was almost discovered by the disciples on duty.

Gu Xuerong also stayed up all night.

It's just that he is not in the camp, but in the depths of the Wuxu Forest tens of miles away, together with his two uncles, are making the final preparations.

This place is located in the south of the Forest of Misty Void, close to the demon world. In recent years, demons have often been rampant. It seems to indicate that the way of heaven is broken and monsters are rampant.

Gu Xuerong, on the other hand, is placing a concentric stone altar on the ground. The altar is engraved with five-leaf clover-shaped patterns, which are extremely regular and complex, connected end to end, and finally converge in the center of the altar. .

He sighed softly again, "Must it be so?"

"Xue Rong, everything is ready, and the sacrifice can start when Xu Shi tomorrow. How can you back down?" Gu Lin said reproachfully, his face was flushed abnormally, as if he was too excited, The eyeballs are protruding, and the eyes are staring at the center of the altar fanatically.

"At that time, our years of hard work will bear fruit, and this will be a great thing that will benefit the whole world."

Gu Xuerong hesitated for a moment, but finally said nothing.

It's a pity that Lin Qi was sacrificed innocently.

Lin Qi's gentle eyes suddenly flashed in his mind, like a peaceful lake, looking at him quietly, eyes full of trust in him.

But he wanted to send him to die with his own hands.

Gu Xuerong suddenly closed her eyes, her hands froze, and the red candle that was supposed to be placed on the altar slid down obliquely and landed on the ground.

"Be careful!" Gu Lin rushed up, caught the fallen red candle, brushed the surface carefully, and put it squarely on the altar again.

The red candle was shining with a faint luster, and it seemed that there was fresh blood inside that hadn't solidified, and it flowed gently with Gu Lin's movements. When you got close, you could even smell the slightly stinky bloody smell.

"This is the key to the success of the sacrifice." Gu Lin frowned and taught Gu Xuerong a lesson, while taking a few other red candles from Gu Xuerong's hand, he simply replaced him and carefully placed five red candles on the five corners of the altar .

Then the candles were lit one by one, and there was faint candlelight flickering in the gloomy night. The light of the fire was reddish with cyan in it, without a trace of warmth.

Gu Lin arranged the iron crosses and chains one by one. When the entire altar was completely arranged, the crescent moon that was originally hidden behind the treetops quietly moved out. The scarlet moonlight was just reflected in the center of the altar. The chains made of cold iron It shone with a cold and ruthless light, and it was even covered with spikes and iron rings. Just one glance would send chills all over your body.

Only then did Gu Lin start to praise, "As expected of the water mirror divination technique passed down from our ancestors, the location and timing are flawless, and this sacrifice will definitely be a success."

Gu Xuerong remained silent and didn't answer the words, showing no joy of imminent success.

"Uncle, then I'll go back. Tomorrow the big competition officially starts, and I have to show up."

He stood for a while, then spoke in a low voice.

"Yeah, go ahead, I'll leave the task of bringing Lin Qi over to you, remember the time well, this time tomorrow is the time for the sacrifice."

"...Yes." Gu Xuerong paused for a long time, and finally agreed in a low voice, and then left quickly as if fleeing.

Gu Lin stood at the same place, looked at the direction Gu Xuerong left for a long time, sneered for a moment, took out a bamboo whistle from his sleeve, put it in his mouth and blew gently, but there was no sound, just felt a cold The breath spread out around him.

Afterwards, a few hazy figures gathered in the dark, their clothes and faces could not be seen clearly, they were all in the posture of bending over and obeying orders, lying on the ground motionless.

"Go!" Gu Lin yelled lightly, and those dark figures scattered in all directions, disappeared into the shadowy dense forest, and disappeared.

……

Lin Jinglan didn't sleep all night, sneaked into Jianzong's camp but got nothing. Before leaving, he suddenly realized that the surrounding guards were a bit abnormally tight, and when he approached the tent where Gu Xuerong should be resting, he didn't feel the originality of the camp at all. The sound of breathing.

he's not here!

At such a critical time, leaving the camp specifically must be for other more important things, and at this time, I am afraid that it is to prepare for the so-called sacrifice, so that he can leave in the middle of the night.

Lin Jinglan felt more and more that she had sensed the truth, so she simply restrained her breath, hid around the main camp, and waited quietly.

Sure enough, before dawn, Gu Xuerong hurried back, not even noticing Lin Jinglan who was hiding outside, and hurried into the house.

Lin Jinglan listened patiently for a while, but only heard the sound of tables and chairs colliding in the room, Gu Xuerong packed her clothes, and there was no conversation.

As the morning star slowly appeared in the sky and gradually became dim, Lin Jinglan had to take advantage of the last opportunity before dawn to escape the patrolling disciples and return to her camp.

He had no choice but to tell Lin Qi to be careful. Gu Xuerong didn't return the night before the big competition. In all likelihood, he went to prepare sacrifices, which meant that they wanted to take advantage of the chaos to treat Lin Qi during the big competition. start.

During the Grand Competition, only young disciples could enter. As a long-established monk, he could only wait outside and was not allowed to enter easily.

Lin Jinglan even took out many life-saving items that he had treasured and gave them to Lin Qi, telling him to put safety first, and to warn the police immediately if there is any danger, and he will do everything possible to protect him.

Lin Qi nodded, deeply moved, holding the things that Lin Jinglan gave him with both hands, carefully put them away, then tidied up her clothes, and went out together with Lin Ziqing to gather at the martial arts field in front of the mountain.

Sure enough, Gu Xuerong was already sitting on the high platform, with a fairy air, without saying a word, staring at the young disciples standing on the martial arts arena indifferently.

There were hundreds of people in the martial arts arena, all young faces, standing neatly in several teams, curious and excited, looking to the stage, all eagerly waiting for the big competition to officially start.

Lin Qi then mixed into the team, and Lin Ziqing followed him closely, almost touching his back, and asked nervously: "Senior Brother, why don't we not participate? Didn't Master say..."

Strange gazes came from around, curious that there were people who fled the battle.

Lin Qi just shook her head slightly, and said in a low voice: "No, I must participate. I can hide from the first day of the junior high school, but I can't hide from the fifteenth day. If he wants to attack me, this is the best time, and we will also Fully prepared, just in time to catch him by surprise."

There are at least so many sects present in this big competition, he dare not make it too obvious.If he quits by himself, he will be stared at by Gu Xuerong all the time. If he accidentally kidnaps him and sacrifices him, it will be hard to guard against it.

What's more, this is also the best time for him to get out of his shell.

Lin Qi even waited for that moment with some excitement.

He always has a premonition that the opportunity to break through is this time. If he can handle it smoothly and seize the opportunity, he can directly break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

At that time, he can not only become stronger, but also get rid of the identity that has been troubling him all the time, and he will be able to go and enjoy himself alone.

He can't wait to see this day come.

Lin Qi almost suppressed her urgency, and stood in the line quietly waiting for the contest to start.He suddenly felt someone staring at him, looked up, but couldn't find anyone.

It’s weird.

Lin Qi thought inexplicably.

At this time, Gu Xuerong was sitting on the high platform. Although her expression was righteous and dignified, the solid line quietly fell among the crowd, and she was quietly looking for Lin Qi's figure.

After being discovered by Lin Qi, he turned his gaze away and returned to his indifferent expression. After the other elders finished reading the rules and precautions of the competition, he said coldly:

"This competition is very different from the previous ones. The Forest of Wuxu is extremely difficult, and there are more ferocious and monsters in it, which are very likely to be life-threatening."

After all, he paused, looked around at the expressions of the young disciples below, and found that almost all of them were faces with high fighting spirit, and there was no sign of shrinking at all, so he continued with satisfaction:

"Those who want to quit can go out now without any problems. Those who participate, just hold the jade pendant in their hands, crush it in case of danger, and an elder will come to rescue you. Correspondingly, it will also represent you. Giving up Dabi to opt out."

"Yes." Everyone replied in response, expressing their understanding.

"set off!"

Seeing that no one gave up, Gu Xuerong announced the official start of the contest.

A group of people came to the entrance of the Wuxu Forest in a mighty manner. They made all preparations and each chose a different path to enter the dense forest.

Lin Qi and Lin Ziqing were only two of them, and they were not burly and unobtrusive, so they just chose the two of them to walk together, chose a road with not many people, and went carefully.

The other places were full of people, and many miscellaneous cultivators and disciples from small sects gathered around the leader, praying to go with him, so as to ensure their own safety and get the points smoothly.

Lin Qi wasn't in a hurry, anyway, he didn't come here to achieve any achievements, but to make a break with the mess on his body.

"Brother, are we going to catch some monsters in the depths? I'm afraid it's not enough just the two of us..." Lin Ziqing followed Lin Qi, thinking about the rules of the competition.

This competition lasted for ten days. It was necessary to capture as many monsters and evil spirits as possible in the dense forest of the Wuxu Forest, or to discover treasures and medicinal materials. In the end, points were scored based on the number of trophies, and the one with the highest score won.

However, monsters are often extremely ferocious, and only one or two people are not enough to subdue them. Therefore, it is only possible to form a small team, or if there are many people participating in the sect, form a team of their own, and go together, and then each person will divide the spoils. It is a safe and efficient method.

"No hurry." Lin Qi waved her hand. According to Master's instructions, Gu Xuerong and the others' plan might start in the next few days, so he just needs to work harder to deal with Gu Xuerong in the best condition. Can.

At that time, in order to facilitate the golden cicada to escape its shell, it is best to choose a convenient location to escape.

"We don't need to rush to get points. Gu Xuerong should do it in the next few days. Just be vigilant and prepare to deal with him."

"Okay!" Lin Ziqing clenched his fists, "I will never lose to Gu Xuerong again this time, I have to settle accounts with him."

"What are you going to settle with him?" Lin Qi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Lin Ziqing still remembered that he had never fought Li Di, but was defeated by Gu Xuerong with a few sword strikes. He couldn't keep up with Gu Xuerong, so he went on to say: "Just protect yourself, so that you don't get hurt again."

"When the time comes, don't rush up to find him desperately, understand?"

Lin Qi then reluctantly nodded her head, and lowered her head to admit that she could not beat Gu Xuerong for the time being.

"Okay, let's go deeper, find a convenient place to rest, and prepare something for sleeping tonight."

Lin Qi went deeper all the way, cutting off the bushes and branches beside him with difficulty, and opened a trail, until he found a piece of obviously flat and dry land, and then took a short breath.

He and Lin Qi checked the surroundings carefully. The place happened to be tightly surrounded by a circle of trees. There is a small river, which is the perfect spot to pitch camp.

"It's here." Lin Qi wiped the sweat from her forehead, tapped the ground with the tip of her sword, and said with satisfaction.

The two quickly set up their tents, and it got dark very quickly in the mountains, and the surrounding treetops were extremely lush, and it didn't take long for them to get completely dark.

Lin Ziqing carefully built a fire, and the two of them sat around the fire, grilling the fish they just caught, and it was very satisfying to eat one bite at a time.

It was rare for Lin Qi to relax her tense nerves. It was rare to have this quiet and leisure moment, and finally be able to enjoy this delicious fish a little bit.

After eating, the two looked at each other, and after a while, they said good night to each other, but instead of sleeping, they sat in the tent and practiced.

Lin Qi made seals with both hands, once again trying to control the Yaoyuguo aura sleeping deep in her body, while carefully listening to the movement outside, preparing to draw her sword to deal with any danger.

The spiritual energy from the body surged again, rushing through the meridians, scouring the not very wide meridians, until it reached the threshold of breakthrough, then slowed down and returned to calm.

It's still close to a breakthrough.

Lin Qi sighed softly. He felt that there was an opportunity for him in the Forest of Misty Void, but where was the opportunity to break through.
