Chapter 17: Seeking
Lan Yuan was meditating under a plane tree in no man's land outside the city walls.
When he met Lan Chengyi and Lan Xi in the barren mountains during the day, he happened to have an uncontrollable attack of the Demon Pill, and his internal breath was damaged, in order to follow them to the Demon Realm, he forcibly suppressed it with his true qi, and only supported it until midnight.
It's the third time that the magic pill has gotten out of control. He would suffer from serious internal injuries every time, and he had to meditate and heal at midday every day for more than ten consecutive days in order to slowly recover his strength. This time the loss of control seemed to be even more serious, so much so that when he broke into the demon world, he was carelessly injured slightly.
He forced out the blood in his chest with his true qi and spit it out, and Fang Jue was a little relieved.
After a while, he finished healing, raised his hand to look at the wound on his wrist, and found that the wound had healed seventy or eighty percent. The little berries given by Miss Lanxi are really useful.
Miss Lanxi is really a strange woman. At a young age, he has no immortal cultivation, but he dares to enter the demon world alone, and he can get the antidote from Ling Xiao, he must be an ordinary person. She did all this for the people of Tong'an City, which shows that she is kind-hearted and a good person. She claims to be a friend of Lan Chengyi, what is the origin?
He took out a delicate jade statue wrapped in white silk from his sleeve and rubbed it carefully. The jade carving is about half a foot high, and the sculpture is a girl flying on a crane, with a lively appearance and an interesting demeanor.
"Senior Sister Feng, where are you?" Lan Yuan muttered.
For more than half a year, he has been looking for Feng Zhiling's whereabouts everywhere, but he has not been able to find a trace, and there is no news of her even in the Demon Realm.
"Is it a coincidence that Miss Lanxi's voice is so similar to Senior Sister Feng?"
Just now, when he was outside the pharmacy, he heard a little conversation between Mu and Lan Xi in the pharmacy, and knew that Lan Xi girl was actually sick, so he didn't dare to show her true face.
Under normal circumstances, he would not use the Heavenly Ear Technique to probe the privacy of others, so he listened to some of them because he cared about Miss Lanxi.
"Sick ......" is a coincidence.
The streets were empty, and at this time the third watch had passed, and Feng Zhiling was walking slowly in the alley, sleepy but not wanting to sleep.
She took a dull step, wondering what she was going to do next.
Do you really want to return to the demon interface to that moody demon? If the senior brother knew that she had returned to the demon realm, I don't know if he would be angry with her? After staying in the Tianyin Pavilion for more than a year, she was also a little reluctant.
Suddenly, she saw a red light in front of her, and said to herself: "How can there be fire? Could it be that the guards guarding the city have burned the city?"
She hurriedly ran to the fire, and found that it was the City God Temple that caught fire, and at this time several neighbors had come out to put out the fire, but the fire spread too fast, and soon the entire City God Temple was surrounded by fire, and it was in vain. Fortunately, the temple is not connected to the surrounding houses, and there is a path in the middle to avoid implicating other houses.
"Miss Lanxi, why are you here?"
Feng Zhiling turned around and found Lan Yuan standing behind her.
"Master He?...... I happened to be walking nearby, and when I saw a fire here, I thought it was the guards burning the city, so I hurriedly ran to take a look. Are you done?" Lan Xi said.
"Shhhh......h β
"Ah, what should I do then, hurry up and save people......" Feng Zhiling turned around and rushed towards the gate of the City God Temple.
"Don't go!" Lan Yuan hurriedly grabbed her arm and said, "I'll come!"
Lan Yuan let go of Feng Zhiling and rushed into the fire himself. After a while, a little girl of six or seven years old was brought out, and the girl was crying and screaming, probably frightened.
"Didn't Bo Yan Jingqiu give them all the antidote, why is this child still left in the dead pile?" Feng Zhiling asked, "Is she okay?"
"Daddy, mother, help me!" the little girl was still screaming and crying on Lan Yuan's body, and Lan Yuan's clothes and long hair were pulled together by the little girl.
"There were a lot of corpses in it, and this little girl was probably frightened when she saw that her relatives were dead after drinking medicine and sobering up. Lan Yuan said.
He put the little girl on the ground and comforted her softly: "Don't cry, don't be afraid, it's okay......"
The girl slowly calmed down, but she still couldn't stop shaking and crying.
Feng Zhiling noticed that an object carefully wrapped in a white silk cloth had fallen from Lan Yuan's side, probably accidentally caught by the little girl. She picked it up and was about to hand it to Lan Yuan, but accidentally saw the corner of the object under the white silk package.
Like a jade carving. She couldn't hold back, and opened the wrapped silk cloth.
The transparent mutton fat white jade is carved with a bright smile on a crane, the girl points to the front with one hand, touches her chin with the other, and tilts her head to the side, her expression is vivid. Even the crane is lifelike.
The girl in the statue seemed to be looking at herself, and her face made her so familiar......
Lan Yuan turned around and saw Feng Zhiling holding a jade carving in his hand, but did not speak.
Feng Zhiling was stunned for a while, then found that Lan Yuan was looking at her, and immediately handed him the jade carving: "Master He, your things have fallen." β
"Thank you, girl, I guess I was accidentally caught by this little girl. Lan Yuan took the jade carving and withdrew it into his sleeve.
"I don't know why there was a fire all of a sudden. Feng Zhiling didn't notice anything strange in Lan Yuan, so he changed the topic, "It's full of corpses, could it be that someone deliberately set it on fire?"
"It's a fire. The temple was poured with oil, and the fire spread so quickly. Lan Chengyi suddenly appeared in front of Feng Zhiling.
"Yes, I also found oil when I entered the temple. Lan Yuan said.
"It doesn't matter if it's burned, it's full of rotting corpses, and it's a hassle to keep it. "Blue City Yidao.
Feng Zhiling had seen the miserable situation in the temple, and actually felt that what Lan Chengyi said was reasonable, and said: "Lan Immortal Master, give this little girl some calming pills, she was frightened." β
After staying in Tong'an County for a few more days, Feng Zhiling found a family for the little girl who had lost a child and took her in, distributed some medicine to the people in the city to heal her wounds, and transported all the bodies to the burial pits outside the city for cremation.
The plague was finally cured, the city was finally settled, and the guards defending the city were withdrawn. Feng Zhiling remembered that it was time for him to go back to the Heavenly Demon Palace.
This morning, she wore a hat and sat outside a small teahouse on the side of the road, drinking tea in a daze.
"We immortal cultivators are inconvenient to show our immortal methods in front of mortals, this is the rule. Lan Chengyi suddenly appeared, sat next to her, and said.
"Then why did you break the rules again?" Feng Zhiling asked angrily.
"At that time, He Lanyuan also left, and I was worried about you, so I couldn't care about any unruly rules. I just want to finish the medicine and see you. Lan Chengyi poured himself a cup of tea and said.
"So, I misunderstood you. Feng Zhiling said, "I'm sorry. β
Feng Zhiling wasn't really angry at the time, but she was angry with herself when she was angry.
"Isn't it? You've ignored me for a day. Lan Cheng Yi said, "Do you really want to go back to the Demon Realm?"
"Yes. Feng Zhiling replied, "I didn't lie to you, I promised Ling Xiao to go back." β
"Aren't you a handmaid?" Lan Chengyi asked with a smile.
"It's not. He recognized me and asked me to stay in the Heavenly Demon Palace in the future. β
"He's not going to do anything to you, is he?" Lan Chengyi asked.
"No, it won't. I think he cares a lot about Ling Long and Lian Mingxuan, the only daughter. Feng Zhiling stared at the teacup in his hand, spinning slowly, "He also said that when I was a child, he loved me very much." In the future, you will treat me well. β
Lan Chengyi looked at Feng Zhiling's expression under the veil and knew that she was a little unwilling.
"It's better not to go back to the Demon Realm. Stay in the Heavenly Hidden Pavilion, he won't find you. He said.
"Ling Xiao is a ruthless person, if I don't go back, he may do something. Can I hide from him for the rest of my life?"
"If you go back, it won't be so easy to get out. β
Feng Zhiling smiled: "My legs are on my body, why can't I come out." β
Lan Chengyi didn't say much more. Since Ling Xiao won't hurt her, perhaps, it's good for her to return to the Demon Realm. After all, it was her home, and that person was her own uncle. And there is no deeper relationship between himself and her, it is just a shallow fate.
"You're leaving, promise me one thing. β
"What's the matter?"
"Call Brother Chengyi. β
β......β
"Lan Xi, if you don't call, I'll go tell He Lanyuan your real ...... now."
"Brother Cheng Yi. β
"Hey. "Promise neatly.
At this time, Boyan grabbed a small green pigeon in his hand and hurried over.
"Master, there is an urgent letter. Boyan handed the little green pigeon to Lan Chengyi.
Lan Chengyi put the pigeon in the palm of his hand and spread it out, and the pigeon opened into a green leaf, with a line of words written on it: "If there is trouble in the door, return quickly to help." β
After Lan Chengyi finished reading, he waved his hand lightly, and the words on the leaves disappeared immediately.
"Park Yan, call Rouyi and Jingqiu, and we will set off immediately. Lan Chengyi got up and ordered, and turned to Feng Zhiling and said, "Lanxi, I want to go back to Kunshan Gate to do something, but I don't worry about you, what should I do?"
The first time Feng Zhiling saw Lan Chengyi receive this kind of leaf carrier pigeon, it was only that day that he heard Lan Yuan call him a disciple of Kunshan Sect, and only then did he know Lan Chengyi's true origin.
He saw Lan Chengyi's serious face, thinking that something big had happened to Kunshan Gate.
She got up and said, "Don't worry about me, you hurry back to Kunshan Gate to deal with things, I will take care of myself, don't worry." β
Lan Chengyi put the green leaf in Feng Zhiling's hand and said, "If you need help with something, write it on this leaf and let it bring it to me." β
"Okay, I got it. Thank you, Brother Cheng Yi. Ah, Na Rou, Yi Bo, and Yan Jingqiu, haven't they all become my juniors? Feng Zhiling smiled mischievously.
Lan Chengyi raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Little guy." β
He stretched out his hand, shook Feng Zhiling's hand tightly, and suddenly looked at her with rare serious eyes, and said, "Lan Xi, you are alone in the Demon Realm, you have to be careful in everything." β
Feng Zhiling nodded seriously: "Hmm." β
"βgone, little one. I'll miss you. Lan Chengyi scratched her nose, got up and glanced at Lan Yuan, who was walking not far away, and said, "Master He, I have something to go back to Kunshan Gate first, so I'm leaving." β
"Blue Immortal Master, farewell. Lan Yuan gave up.
Feng Zhiling watched Lan Chengyi leave in a hurry, and she put away the leaf and put it in her arms.
