30. Home destruction
Fang Qi had never hurt so much, his forehead was covered with cold sweat in an instant, and the piercing pain made him unable to stand steadily, the footsteps in front of him passed through the grass, and he stood two meters away to look at him.
The girl was puzzled: "Is there really a ghost in the back mountain?"
The rough and strong man snorted coldly and said, "Senior Sister Qiu Ling, don't be afraid, whether it's a human or a ghost, you can't withstand my second move!"
At this time, there was only one way to die if he remained silent, Fang Qi didn't wait for the most painful wave to slow down, and said quickly: "Wait! I'm human!"
As soon as he spoke, the strong man was stunned, his hands were crossed in front of his chest, he made a few gestures, stepped forward, and hit him with a heavy palm. This time Fang Qi knelt directly on the ground, and for a while, the sky was spinning, a thick feeling of nausea and vomiting hit, something in his chest surged up, Fang Qi choked and coughed, and opened his mouth to be a mouthful of blood.
When the black halo in front of him dissipated, Fang Qi was covered in cold sweat and looked blankly at the blood stains on the ground. Did he vomit blood?
No way......
In the past, several disciples of the Feng Yao Sect had died in the back mountain, and it was strictly forbidden for the disciples to come to the back mountain, and it was impossible for him to remember wrong! How did these people come from?
Fang Qi's heart was in a state of confusion, and at this time, a string of footsteps approached, and a pair of coarse black shoes appeared in front of him. The strong man looked down at him and raised Fang Qi's chin on his toes to make him raise his head.
This action was too insulting, and Fang Qi vigorously turned his head away and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
The strong man smiled: "Yo, it's really a person." ”
Fang Qi hid the little platypus behind his back, pinched its mouth to prevent it from making a sound, leaned his back against the tree trunk, inhaled in small mouths, and the pain of the needle pricking knife all over his body, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.
Fang Qi gritted his teeth and endured not to moan, while looking at the few people in front of him quietly.
There were five people in total.
The girl who spoke before, wearing a yellow dress and a yellow dress, floated towards him.
The reason why it is said to be floating is because the girl's body is extremely petite and slender, and she is not tall, and her status in Fengyao Mountain is not low.
The delicate girl in yellow lowered her head and glanced at Fang Qi, clapped her hands and praised: "Senior Brother Chen Guan is really worthy of being a Taoist master, he is really powerful!"
The one who was called Chen Guan was the rough and strong man, a middle-aged man in his forties, who was very fluttering when he heard the girl's praise, and said, "Where, where." No matter how powerful the senior brother is, he can't compare to Senior Sister Qiu Ling, at the age of sixteen, he is already in the Dao period, and he will definitely make great achievements in the future. At that time, Senior Brother will have to rely on you to support you a lot. ”
Qiu Ling pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes were proud, obviously Chen Guan patted her ass in the right place, she was very proud, but in the blink of an eye, as if she remembered something unpleasant, her pretty expression changed, and she said with a cold face: "If it weren't for that waste, I would be the youngest disciple of the Fengyao Sect in the Dao Initiation Period!"
Chen Guandao: "Why should my junior sister lower her value? What is the use of entering the Tao in half a month? Now he is not a waste person, he is not even as good as an ordinary person, and he is called by us all day long, does he dare to say a word?"
Qiu Ling put her hands behind her back, with a little bit of a little daughter posture, and stomped a few steps on tiptoe on the ground. That waste was always a thorn in his flesh, and every time he thought about it, he was never happy.
"Hmph, my father always blocks us from coming to the back mountain, I want to come!" Qiu Ling said disdainfully: "That little bastard has lived in the back mountain for more than a year and hasn't died, I really think that he has cultivated deeply and hidden it deeply, it turns out that there is nothing in the back mountain! Master will coax us! Do you mean that I am not as good as him?!
Chen Guan, Qiu Ling.
Fang Qi chewed on these two names in his heart.
He was not impressed by the one in front, but for this Qiu Ling, she looked petite and small, but it could almost be called a source of Hongyuan's bullying and crushing in the Fengyao faction.
Qiu Ling entered the Dao period at the age of sixteen. Such qualifications are naturally inconspicuous among other Zhongmen sects, and can even be called inferior disciples. But there are too many crooked melons and cracked dates in the Feng Yao faction, and the tall one among the short ones makes her not so wasteful.
Qiu Ling was extremely proud of this, and she was really proud for a few days.
If there is no Hongyuan, it can almost be called perfect.
However, because of his outstanding qualifications and pennilessness, that thin child made an exception to join the Feng Yao faction, and entered the initiation period in only half a month, which alarmed the entire Feng Yao faction for a while. This is an unprecedented cultivation genius in the entire cultivation world! In less than a moment, he took away all the limelight from the girl.
Fortunately, God treats her well.
What about entering the Tao in half a month? Haven't you been beaten back to your original form?
There are mostly male disciples of the Feng Yao faction and few female disciples, Qiu Ling is quite outstanding in terms of appearance and qualifications, and her father is the third elder of the Feng Yao faction, and most of the disciples are extremely flattering and flattering to her. But the Feng Yao faction is very strong, and there are more than 1,000 disciples in the whole sect, and there are always those who are not in line with her.
Qiu Ling has an arrogant personality and has a very poor relationship with other female disciples, and there is a lot of friction between her words.
Qiu Ling prides herself on her excellent qualifications, but others say that she can't even compare to a waste, what is the poor show?
That monk who had entered the Dao in half a month, and he was also unique in the entire cultivation realm, and that was the real genius.
Hongyuan became the target of others attacking Qiu Ling. She is a 'proud girl of the sky', and she is compared to a waste, how can she swallow this breath in her heart?
So whenever someone wants to please her, they start with Hongyuan.
The happier she is, the less happy Hongyuan naturally becomes, almost forming a cycle.
Therefore, the reason why Hongyuan suffered so much in Fengyao Mountain. One is because of the title of genius, ordinary people bullied and ridiculed the geniuses who were high up in the past, and trampled on the soles of their feet to make fun of the geniuses they couldn't look forward to, so as to obtain psychological comfort, which is really sweet.
The second is because of the ugliness of appearance.
The third is this senior sister Qiu Ling.
There were a total of five people present, and Chen Guan, who was a Taoist cultivator, had by no means a low status in the Fengyao Sect! You must know that the head of the sect was only in the middle of the Dao Sect! It should be Qiu Ling who did not dare to trespass into the back mountain and found a helper. And the other three have few words, and their cultivation is not as good as Qiu Ling and Chen Guan, so they should be Qiu Ling's usual followers.
Fang Qi had a clue, and Qiu Ling also lost her temper enough, as if she had just seen Fang Qi, and bent down to look at him.
The girl has a pointed chin and big eyes, and she really looks pitiful.
Chen Guan said: "According to the senior sister, what should be done with this person?"
The delicate and beautiful girl lightly opened her lips and said with a smile: "Feng Yao Houshan does not dare to trespass in either outsiders or disciples, I don't think he is a ghost or a good person, even if he is killed, no one knows anyway." You guys ......."
Fang Qi was shocked, Feng Yao Sect's disciples were so cruel that listening to her tone it was like crushing an ant to death.
Fang Qi swallowed the blood in his throat and hurriedly said, "Slow!"
Qiu Ling looked down at him, Fang Qi's mind was running quickly, and while patting the little platypus's buttocks, motioning for it to withdraw the money, he grasped the key point and said, "I am a villager under Fengyao Mountain! I heard that your sect has recently recruited new disciples, so I came to try my luck." ”
Qiu Ling frowned, and said in disgust: "You are so old, and you are still here to be a new disciple?"
Fang Qi: "......"
Did he hear him right, what did he do?
Old, old?
Chen Guan's face also changed slightly, and he was a little not very good-looking.
His junior sister is good at everything, but she thinks very highly of herself, relying on herself to enter the Tao at the age of sixteen, her eyes are on the top of her head, no one can look down on her, and those who are older than her are all poorly qualified.
Fang Qi shouted: "I naturally can't compare...... Immortals, it's just that they have been longing to cultivate the truth since they were children......"
Qiu Ling paused, walked back reflexively, and rolled her eyes: "You said you came to sign up, why are you here?"
Fang Qi leaned against the trunk of the tree, and the little platypus ran back on tiptoe and placed a money bag in his hand.
Chen Guan listened to Qiu Ling's words about getting old, took two steps to the side by himself, and talked to the three disciples, Qiu Ling was closest to him, frowned, and glanced at the grass strangely
Fang Qi patted the little platypus on the head and pinched his body with difficulty, knowing that these people had no compassion, and could only impress them with benefits.
Fang Qi said: "Guipai Guishan is too big, the first time I came, I took the wrong path." ”
Feng Yao sent old disciples to bring new disciples, and it was beneficial to receive them. Every time a new disciple is introduced, you can get half a tael for three taels of tuition, four times a year, and you can earn two taels a year.
Qiu Ling really asked, "Did you bring any money?"
Fang Qi touched the money bag, and said that the little platypus had an excellent IQ, and asked it to get the money bag, and it took the loose silver that Liu Chunyun gave him before. In this way, even if you lose, you won't lose too much.
Fang Qi's face did not change and said: "My parents are dead, and I am the only one left in the family." Look at the girl, your appearance is extraordinary, could it be that you are a disciple of the Feng Yao Sect? ”
Qiu Ling said: "This is easy to say. But do you know how many taels of silver our Fengyao faction has to pay?"
Fang Qi said: "Three taels?"
Qiu Ling shook her delicate fingers and said, "The Feng Yao Sect has a strict rank. Disciples under the age of fifteen are three or two. Disciples above fifteen and below twenty are five taels. You have to ask for ten taels like this. ”
Rao is Fang Qi had already been mentally prepared, and he choked up when he heard the words, ten taels! I've seen a lion open his mouth, but I've never seen such a big one! Does she know what the concept of ten taels is?!
This is the so-called Xiuzhen sect with immortal energy?! It's worse than the nine streams under Mitsui!
Fang Qi took out his money bag and said a little stupidly: "This is all my belongings......"
Qiu Ling's eyes flashed with joy, she didn't expect to be able to make a fortune!
Last time he gave Liu Chunyun twenty taels, and he used two taels to buy rice and noodles, and there were less than eighteen taels of silver in it, Qiu Ling took away the money bag, straightened up, counted slightly, and was proud.
Fang Qi didn't expect the eighteen taels of silver to fall into his hands for one tael, and the plan was originally to break the fortune and avoid disaster. Fang Qi clutched his stomach and pretended to be anxious: "It's more!
Qiu Ling glanced at the other three disciples, and the three of them understood the meaning, pressed Fang Qi to the ground, and flipped it up and down to make sure that there was no money, and then nodded.
Fang Qi got up with a disgraced face, and scolded in his heart, this is a bandit!
Qiu Ling said with satisfaction: "Count you honest." Idiot, do you know who I am?"
You cannon fodder, how do I know who you are. Fang Qi said: "The girl is more beautiful than the immortals, she must be a great figure of the Feng Yao faction." ”
Qiu Ling snorted: "Count you as acquaintances." You won't lose me the extra eight taels of silver. Don't you want to come to the Feng Yao Sect, my name is Qiu Ling, my father is the Third Elder, and I am the youngest disciple of the Feng Yao Sect in the Dao Initiation Period. If you are lucky to meet me today, is the person I personally recommended comparable to other disciples?"
Fang Qi gasped, he didn't feel sorry for the more than ten taels of silver, what he originally asked for was to break the fortune and avoid disasters, eighteen taels for a life, it was worth it.
It's just that the content and tone of Qiu Ling's speech are too hateful, and she is typical of taking advantage and selling well.
Fang Qi pinched his nose and thanked him, and Qiu Ling took out a few pieces of broken silver from the money bag and divided them among Chen Guan and the other three disciples.
Chen Guan leaned against the trunk of the tree and looked at Fang Qi, and said in a thick voice: "In the past few days in the back mountain, have you seen a ghost in Fengyao Mountain?"
"I've been wandering here for a day, and sometimes I'll see a few white shadows, as well as dry bones and graveyards...... Fang Qi didn't dare to talk too much, just hoping that it would be best to scare them away, and then made a shocked look, and said hurriedly: "This is the mountain behind Fengyao Mountain?! Legend has it that there are ghosts everywhere here! Let's go quickly!"
Chen Guan glanced at him, as if he was also jealous, and said to Qiu Ling: "Senior sister Qiu Ling, are we now?"
"What are you going to do, Senior Brother Chen Guan is afraid," Qiu Ling sneered and said, "I must find out where that ugly monster lives!"
Fang Qi stood up with the trunk of the tree, these people really came to Hongyuan.
Chen Guan said: "What did the junior sister say?" Then lead the way, Qiu Ling and the other three followed. Fang Qi's little episode didn't seem to affect them in the slightest.
Fang Qi sighed, stunned for a few seconds, and silently rubbed his lower abdomen, just now, he felt that his internal organs were displaced. When I lifted my clothes and looked down, my skin began to glow black and red.
Putting down his clothes, Fang Qi looked at the backs of those people, opened his mouth to speak, and gave up after thinking about it.
The grove where they were located was not far from the cave, and even if he tried his best to lead the way in other directions, he might still arouse suspicion if they were fooled or not. If his relationship with Hongyuan is known, he will definitely be killed. In this wilderness, no one knows if he is dead.
Let's save my life first.
As long as the person is still there, the other qiē can start all over again.
Sure enough, within a few minutes, the cave was found.
Qiu Ling saw the stove and firewood outside the cave, the pots and pans in the cave, the tables, chairs, benches, bedding, and straw mats, and a beautiful face that was twisted to hideous.
She sneered and said, "It seems that the waste is quite comfortable here." ”
Qiu Ling kicked over the stool and waved her hand: "Smash it for me!"
Chen Guan waved his hand and said, "Smash it." Then he exited the door, leaving the three low-level disciples inside.
Fang Qi stood outside the cave in a daze, and then heard a violent thump from inside, the tables and chairs were overturned, the dishes, chopsticks and spoons were all smashed to pieces, and through the door, you could see porcelain white slag all over the floor.
There wasn't much in the hole, and it didn't take long for it to be smashed clean.
When the sound stopped, Qiu Ling and Chen Guan went into the cave to take a look, and nodded to be satisfied.
Chen Guan said: "My little junior sister, can you be angry this time?"
"I just can't see him better!" Qiu Ling was angry, and when she saw the bed, she suddenly covered her mouth and smiled: "Senior Brother Hongyuan still has a quilt." When winter came, I heard Master say that the more difficult the external environment, the more beneficial it would be for cultivation. For the sake of Senior Brother Hongyuan, I don't think he needs to cover the quilt. ”
Among the three low-level disciples, a white, tender and smooth young man said: "What Senior Sister said is that I envy you for being so good to Senior Brother Hongyuan. Senior sister, you go and wait outside, and we will handle it here. Look at it!"
Qiu Ling smiled knowingly, "There is Senior Brother Lao Qingfeng." "Gently move the lotus step to the outside of the cave.
Inside, a fire fold was lit, and the four corners of the futon were lit, reflecting the fire in the room, and finally Qingfeng threw the fire fold directly on the bed, and the fire burned brightly.
Fang Qi's fingers have been trembling, he has no one to care about since he was a child, and home has a more extraordinary meaning to him than ordinary people. Now watching the home that I have decorated with one hand smashed to pieces and finally burned to the ground, the anger in my heart is really indescribable. It was hard for him to imagine how Hongyuan spent day after day under the hands of such a person.
They didn't let Hongyuan go, and they didn't even forgive him where he lived.
What kind of blood feud can be achieved to such a point?
He was thinking about it in his heart, his expression was not hidden, Qiu Ling saw that he looked like a dead father, and said coquettishly: "What kind of eyes are you?!"
At this time, it was too late for Fang Qi to try to cover it up.
But he didn't even think to hide it, any normal person would be somewhat surprised when he saw this scene.
Fang Qi took a deep breath, suppressed the strange feelings churning in his heart, and said with a puzzled expression: "Isn't this not good...... Who's living in here?"
Two questions Qiu Ling was obviously more interested in the latter one, she clapped her hands and walked over, very interested in smearing Hongyuan. The cave is still blazing, and the girl facing the cave looks delicate, but her face is so hateful.
Qiu Ling smiled and said, "I'll know when you enter our Fengyao Sect." In this back mountain, there lives a great person, who is the first genius of our Fengyao Sect! It only took half a month to enter the genius of the Dao Initiation Period! It's a pity that the person is ugly, his face is full of hair, and his body is full of brown spots, saying that people are not like people, and that dogs are not geniuses of dogs! Ha, he is also worthy?!"
Fang Qi listened numbly, his head cracking, the little platypus hid in the back basket, and through the gap between the woods, he uneasily picked his fingers, and Fang Qi pressed it back.
Chen Guan said: "Don't listen to her nonsense. It was true that it took half a month for Senior Brother Hongyuan to enter the Dao, but after entering the Dao, he dispersed his cultivation, and now he is like a waste, and even the pigs and dogs in Fengyao Mountain are stronger than him, which is also a pity. However, you, Senior Sister Qiu Ling, entered the Dao at the age of sixteen, and she is the youngest disciple of our Fengyao Sect in the Dao stage, and she is also the most respected. ”
Qiu Ling said shyly and angrily that he didn't hear Fang Qi clearly, and the two of them sang and harmonized, which made him feel so disgusting.
Things were smashed and smashed, burned and burned, and the group smiled and harvested a lot, and began to go back to Qianshan.
In front, the low-level disciple Qingyang looked forward to Shenfei, his steps were brisk, he followed behind Qiu Ling, and said flatteringly: "Thanks to Senior Sister Qiu Ling." Let's come back to Houshan now, knowing that there are no so-called ghosts in Houshan, when will we report to the master when we go back?"
Qiu Ling was stunned for a moment, her eyes showed surprise, and she clapped her hands and said, "How did I forget about this! There are no ghosts in the back mountain, we are the first to find out, what a great achievement! Daddy and Master will definitely reward us well!"
Chen Guandao: "That's right! Although we broke into the back mountain, but we found that there are no ghosts in the back mountain, we can completely atone the credit! By the way, that waste has lived in the back mountain for more than a year, and he actually didn't report it, and the head of the family will definitely not spare him!"
……
The dividing line between the front and back mountains is a cliff, and the path that can be walked on is only more than half a meter wide. Nearly a quarter of an hour's walk to the base of the cliff was a gloomy grove in front of it.
After passing through the grove and passing through a crevice in the mountain that is more than one person high, we will reach the front mountain.
Qiu Ling naturally wouldn't really introduce him personally, so she casually summoned a gray-clothed disciple who passed by and asked him to take Fang Qi to sign up.
The front mountain of Fengyao Mountain is very large, and it is not as gloomy as the back mountain, with huge trees on both sides covering the sky and the sun, but there is light pouring down in the middle. In winter, the eyes are still full of greenery and lush greenery.
Halfway up the mountainside stands the Feng Yao faction, covering an extremely wide area, a plaque is displayed horizontally above the main entrance, and there are four major branches in the east, west, north and south, which looks very magnificent.
Fang Qi signed up, reported some basic information and introducers, and then was assigned a gray dress, and after only a few minutes, he became a low-level disciple under Elder Qiu Ren of the Fengyao Sect in a daze.
The person who took him to sign up put him there and left, and then a young disciple said, "Follow me." ”
The person who led the way was a few years younger than him, claiming to be a disciple of Elder Qiu Ren, and led him through the small courtyard. Fang Qi followed and noted the way, not too badly, the direction they went was the direction of the back mountain.
Fang Qi was a little relieved, and the closer he got to the back mountain, the more he could save the trouble of hearing and seeing, so he went to find Hongyuan nearby.
Finally, I came to a dilapidated bungalow, the yard was not very clean, and no one cleaned the dead leaves all over the ground.
Fang Qi looked up and down, and the little disciple said angrily: "What do you see, you are a low-level disciple, you can only live here!"
Fang Qi ignored him, looked at the gray clothes on his body, and said as if he was not a low-level disciple himself.
Bringing him to the door, the little disciple left. Fang Qi pushed the door and entered, and found that this was not a single room, but a large bunk, where at least five people slept, and the bedding was scattered on the bed, and there were no rules that a sect disciple should have.
Fang Qi leaned against the door frame, a little dazed for a moment, as if he was in a dream. I was still picking vegetables in the morning, why did I arrive at Fengyao Pie at noon?
The disciples in the sect all seemed to be in a hurry, with gray-clothed disciples like him being the most, followed by second-class Tsing Yi disciples, and other high-level disciples with various colors, including white, blue, and orange. This kind of least is generally a direct disciple with good qualifications and high cultivation, and the elders like to be respected.
The little platypus got out of his arms, chirped, and Fang Qi said, "Don't make trouble, don't make a sound." ”
Fang Qi changed his clothes, the cuffs of his gray robe were wide, and Fang Qi carried the little platypus inside, and when he pulled the sleeves, he couldn't see anything. The little platypus hugged his arm aggrievedly.
Fang Qi fastened his belt, he didn't come here to cultivate, he didn't have to find a relationship to win people over. Now the most convenient thing is to have an official identity that can come and go freely in the Feng Yao faction, since he can run around, it is natural to find Hongyuan's whereabouts and see what his life is like.
The most important thing is to help him take some of his burden off the table.
At first, he was a little timid, after all, he was unfamiliar with life, and he had never seen a Xiuzhen sect. When there are many people, he will hide sideways, and later see that there are many gray-clothed disciples and ordinary, no one is willing to pay attention to him at a glance, and his courage will be stronger.
It's just that the gray-clothed disciple has the lowest status, and anyone can instruct him to do the work, which delays a lot of time.
Fang Qi can be regarded as discovering that what low-level disciples and second-class disciples are all low-level minions and second-class minions of the Fengyao faction, and they are really spending money to buy work!
In addition, there are so many courtyards of the Feng Yao faction that he can't tell the difference between southeast and northwest, and he even misses lunch. When I felt hungry, it was past the meal, and I didn't even see Hongyuan's shadow along the way.
Seeing that it was evening, it was impossible to find a needle in such a haystack. Fang Qi patted his head, secretly annoyed that the more anxious he became, the more confused he became, he hadn't met Hongyuan for a day today, instead of looking for it aimlessly like this, it was better to go to the back mountain quickly, and go directly to wait for Hongyuan to come quickly.
Get back...... Back Mountain ......
Fang Qi was in a hurry, but his steps couldn't get up.
What did the cave look like? How should he explain it to Hongyuan?
Thinking so, I followed my memory and hurried to the back mountain, because I was unfamiliar and took many forks in the road along the way, and by the time I crossed the cliffs and groves and arrived at the cave, it was already dark.
Hongyuan came back one step earlier than him.
The little shadow stood outside the cave, its back lonely and motionless.
Fang Qi's nose was sour all of a sudden, and he slowly walked over step by step.
Fang Qi half-knelt behind him and whispered, "I'm sorry." ”
Hongyuan tilted his head, staring at him with dark eyes.
Fang Qi touched the child's cheek and kissed his face, "If it's gone, it's gone, if I can give you a home, I can give you a second one." Don't be afraid, baby, trust me. ”
