"Old man, thank you for taking care of you these days. Yuqing said gratefully to the old man.
"Don't say that, I thank you too. Not only did you save my life, but you also treated the whole village, and I have never seen anyone as nice as you in my life. The old man said with tears in his eyes.
Ling couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Old man, we're leaving, you must take care." When catching snakes in the future, you must be careful. ”
The old man turned his gaze to the spirit and said, "Be careful all the way. ”
Leaving Shanhe Village, Yuqing finally asked Ling the doubts in his heart: "What did you find yesterday?"
After a moment of silence, Ling said, "I can't open the seal on the black jar, I think there should be many jars like that in the village, and they all form a formation. Later, the old man told me that it contained the blood and venom of the black tiger snake. He also said something to me......"
"What?"
He said that when I regained my old memory, I would know what it was. Ling said in a deep voice.
No wonder he said that yesterday. Yuqing thought to herself.
"Let's hurry up. Seeing that Yu Qing seemed to want to say something, Ling said again.
"Sister Yuqing, Brother Ling, what's wrong?" Yuyi asked in a low voice.
"It's okay, let's go too. ”
The deserted city is the westernmost city in China. When you arrive at the deserted city, you only need to climb over a mountain to enter Shu.
Two days later, they arrived in a deserted city. Thinking about Biluo Village, where the rain was still on the border of southern Xinjiang a few months ago, has now reached the west of China, it is really like a world away. During these two days, Ling still rarely rested at night, and always looked at the night sky alone. Yuqing knew that he should be afraid of everything in his dreams. However, this is not the way to go.
"I'll show you this. Yuqing looked at Lingdao with a worried face.
"Huh?" Ling didn't understand what the rain meant.
"You always don't sleep at night, I'm worried about your ......"
"Actually, I'm fine. Ling said, waving his hand.
"No!" Yuqing insisted on pulling the spirit to a nearby stone and sat down, took out the spirit chip, and sprinkled the water in it on the spirit's head.
"You, what are you doing here?" this action of the rain made the spirit very strange.
"Don't move!" Yuqing put his hand on Ling's forehead, using the spiritual power in his body, and silently chanted something in his mouth. At the same time, Ling also felt that a cool feeling entered his head, making him very comfortable.
"Sister Wan'er, what are they doing?" asked Feather Coat, curiously.
"Shhhhh Wan'er looked at the rain very carefully. It was a very strange spell, and she had never seen it before, which couldn't help but make her a little more curious about the rain.
It didn't take long for the rain to stop. When Ling opened his eyes, he felt much more relaxed and refreshed.
"Just now, I used my spiritual power to dispel your fatigue, and also helped you relax your body, I hope you can sleep well at night. ”
Ling stood up and stared at the rain for a long time before saying, "Thank you, thank you." ”
Yuqing smiled slightly and said, "Between us, do you still need to say thank you?"
Soon, they came to the bottom of the deserted city. This deserted city is really deserted. The walls were in tatters, weeds were everywhere, and the city was sparsely populated, and it took them a while to come across a man.
Seeing someone coming, the old man stood up from the stone tremblingly and on crutches.
"Who are you?"
"We were going to go to Yanshan, passing by here, and wanted to spend the night. As he spoke, Yuqing helped the old man to sit on the stone.
"You guys, don't stay here any longer, and get out of here. ”
"Old man, why is this place so desolate?" asked Yuqing continued.
"Alas, our deserted city is located in the westernmost part of China, the environment is not good, the population is small, and most of the young people have left. Plus there have been water monsters recently...... Alas, if you need any help, you can go to Kun, he's the only young man left. ”
After learning about Kun's residence from the old man, they thanked the old man and continued on his way.
Soon, they found Kun. It was a young man in his twenties who was helping an elderly man in the neighborhood repair a broken house when he was found.
"You say, you're going to Yanshan?" After listening to Yuqing's words, Kun was a little surprised.
"yes, what's wrong?" said Yuqing.
Legend has it that the mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, and various visions often occur in it, and most of the people who enter the mountain are missing. I don't know why you're going to Yanshan?"
"This ......" Yuqing hesitated a little.
"Since it's inconvenient to say, then I won't ask. It's just that the deserted city has been a little unpeaceful in recent days, so after tonight, you better leave early. ”
"What did you say, but about the water monster?" asked Yuqing.
"You got it?" said Kun, a little surprised.
"Well, a little bit of that. Yuqing nodded.
"That's true. However, outsiders only know that there is a water monster in the Yangtze River, but they don't know what this water monster is. ”
"Do you know?"
Kun nodded and said, "Actually, this is not a water monster at all, but an ancient fierce beast Qiqi." ”
"What?" Hearing this, both the rain and the spirit were shocked. The two glanced at each other, and at the same time thought in their hearts, could this poor strange be the one they had met in the first place.
"You guys, what's wrong?" Wan'er asked a little strangely seeing that the two of them reacted so much.
"No, nothing. Brother Kun, how do you know that the water monster is Qiqi?" Yu Qing calmed down and asked.
"Actually, before this, I had only heard of the name of Qiqi, but I had not actually seen it. On that day, the Yangtze River outside the city suddenly burst into huge waves, and I happened to be outside the city when I saw a giant beast coming out of the river. It has long spines all over its body, looks like a tiger, and has two wings on its back. It roared as it came ashore, and destroyed part of the walls of the deserted city. Many people in the city were injured, and if I hadn't run fast, I guess my life would not have been saved. Not long after it came ashore, it was back in the water. We thought it was over, but it came back a few days later. Now, we're not sure exactly when it will pop up. As he spoke, Kun sighed.
"Oh. Yuqing nodded, thoughtful.
"Then, you guys rest here, I'll get busy first. ”
"Thank you, Brother Kun, for taking us in. ”
"You're welcome. Kun waved his hand and walked out.
Watching Kun walk away, Wan'er spoke: "The appearance of Qiqi is a little weird. ”
"Sister Wan'er thinks so too?" Yuqing looked at Wan'er.
Wan'er nodded and said, "Although Qiqi has the name of a fierce beast, he will not hurt people many times for no reason. Moreover, Qiqi does not live underwater. ”
"To be honest, just a few months ago, I met Ling, and it was on the Yangtze River. Yuqing said with a solemn face.
"What?" Wan'er was surprised. You must know that even if she is against the fierce beast, she will inevitably have a hard fight, not to mention that these two people's cultivation is not as good as her.
At this time, the spirit spoke: "At that time, we did meet Qiqi, but its strength was not very powerful, if I hadn't been injured at the beginning......"
Yuqing glared at Ling and interrupted him: "At that time, I thought it was very strange, Qiqi should not appear in the water. Moreover, I could faintly notice that its eyes were shining with gold. ”
"So...... Is it likely that the Qiqi you met appeared here?" Wan'er guessed.
"I think it's possible. Yuqing nodded.
"Hmm, I'm so hungry...... Hey, where is this?" Wan'er raised her head and said in a daze.
Wan'er looked at the feather coat helplessly and said, "You, either sleep or eat." ”
Feather Coat pursed his lips and muttered, "Then what are you asking me to do......"
Yuqing couldn't help laughing, and Ling also showed a smile.
At night.
After dinner, Kun didn't rest, and went out to help the old people do things again.
"This Kun is a good person. Seeing Kun so enthusiastic, Wan'er couldn't help but look at Kun differently.
Yuqing agreed with Wan'er's words: "Yes, I also asked the people in the city today, and Brother Kun has really helped them a lot over the years. ”
"I think we should help them. Wan'er said suddenly.
"You mean, Qiqi?" said Yuqing, a little surprised.
"That's right. ”
Yuqing couldn't help frowning and said, "However, with our strength to fight against Qiqi, I'm afraid it will ......."
"It's okay, with me here, you can rest assured. Wan'er said confidently.
"Do you have a way?"
Wan'er nodded: "You'll know when the time comes......"
In the night, after finishing everything, Kun walked home. When he came to the door of his house, he seemed to think of something, and spread his hand, only to see a gray insect lying there quietly in the palm of his hand.
"Ninth brother, this strange thing depends on you. As he spoke, a strange smile appeared on Kun's face.
Lying in bed, Yu Qing didn't fall asleep for a long time. In her mind, there are always many things that come to mind, about her grandfather, about the spirit, and about Ji Ming, and so on. Nothing like this had ever happened before. At this time, Yuqing realized that he had changed a lot. But whether this change is good or bad. She didn't know.
Suddenly, there was a slight knock on the door.
Someone seems to have gone out.
Yuqing looked at Wan'er and Yuyi, who were sleeping next to her, and quietly followed.
Outside the city, on the edge of the Yangtze River.
"It's so late, I haven't slept yet. Ling knew that the rain was following him, and he didn't look back, looking at the river without a trace of waves and said.
Yuqing walked up to the spirit and said, "What about you, you don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you running out for?"
"I remembered when we crossed the Yangtze River, but you were miserable that time......" Ling couldn't help but laugh when he remembered the scene of being dragged into the water by the rain.
"Hmph, if I'm not happy one day, I'll do it again. Yuqing looked up at Ling.
"Well, if you come again, can you tell me in advance, so that I can be mentally prepared. Ling said cautiously.
"Poof!" Yuqing couldn't help but laugh: "Fool ......"
"I, where am I stupid?" said the spirit a little strangely.
Yuqing shook his head, went to a nearby tree, and sat down. Seeing this, the spirit also followed.
"We're going to Xishu soon. Spirit, I suddenly felt so scared. ”
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know. But I always feel that when we go to Xishu, something bad will happen. Yuqing said with a frown.
"Bad things...... Ling looked at Yu Qing and said solemnly, "Anything, with me, what are you afraid of?"
yes, as long as he's there, what am I afraid of?
