39. My apprentice grows up (4)
The moment the pillar of light fell to the ground, Si Qinghan and the others had already been taken to a safe place by a gust of wind, and the place where they were bombarded by the pillar of light was suddenly smashed out of a big pit, dusty, and it was impossible to see whether the people in the pit were dead or alive. But everyone here is a cultivator, and their eyesight is not ordinary people, and when Dingqing looks at it, the smoke from the big pit is billowing out, and there is a strong smell of corpse burnt in the air.
Among them, Si Qinghan and Qin Shiqi couldn't help but vomit on the ground.
Suddenly, Mu Jianchen pointed a sword at Xia Qian's throat, and said angrily: "Why are you so vicious, that's a person in the village, not a demon or a monster!" When the others heard that there was movement on Mu Jianchen's side, they all looked over, and they were indeed very dissatisfied with what Xia Qian had done just now.
"They're not human anymore." Xia Qian said fearlessly, pointed to one of the corpses that had not yet been scorched with a white jade fan, and raised his hand in front of everyone, and with a wave of his hand, a wind blade flew over, Mu Jianchen didn't have time to stop it, but when he saw the next second of the picture, he opened his mouth in shock.
It can't be called a corpse after death, after being cut open by Xia Qian, the air exudes a rancid smell, and the carrion is densely crawling with wriggling insects, white and fat, the number is extremely amazing, the scalp is numb, those small insects saw that the host was dead, and ate the host's body in three or two strokes, leaving only a pair of white bones, Si Qinghan and Qin Shiqi finally vomited clean, looking at such a heavy picture, they once again leaned against the wall and vomited. The little insects that ate and wiped clean had no place to live, and immediately scattered everywhere, Mu Jianchen frowned, and with a sword swing, a fire wiped them clean, and no one was left.
He looked sideways at Xia Qian, clasped his fists and bowed: "The junior is a disciple of the Tianxuan Palace, Mu Jianchen, I offended a lot just now, and I ask the seniors to forgive me, dare to ask the seniors for their names?" "Even if the person in front of him seems to be younger than him, in the cultivation โกโก, he can't judge people by their appearance, maybe the person who is younger than him is actually much older and more advanced in cultivation.
Xia Qian glanced at him, although Mu Jianchen was said to be the biological son of the original owner, but with the growth of cultivation, the appearance of the original owner was very different from before, and now it seems that Mu Jianchen's appearance is quite similar to that of the original owner when he was young, and it is no wonder that the original owner can recognize his own flesh and blood. It's just that the soul on the original owner's body is Xia Qian, except that this body is connected to him by blood, she has nothing to do with him. For the mission, his name was also included in the list she wanted to protect.
Without waiting for Xia Qian to answer, Qin Shiqi ran over vigorously, and excitedly surrounded Xia Qian and sighed: "This little handsome guy is really powerful, he killed these monsters in one move, we have been fighting for a long time and it is useless, Na~ What kind of trick was that just now, can you teach me?" โ
"Senior sister~" Mu Jianchen shook his head helplessly and called.
"People just want to know-" Qin Shiqi couldn't help but squeeze a little, turned her head and looked at Xia Qian with bright eyes, if Xia Qian was really a man, maybe she would really be moved, a petite and lovely girl, with a baby voice, plus she threw a wink or something from time to time, it was just to the bones. It's just a pity to meet her who looks like a man on the outside, but is actually a woman on the inside, and she doesn't engage in lilies. I really don't have any interest in Qin Shiqi.
Xia Qian ignored her, walked past her and walked forward, at this time Si Qinghan was removing the corpse poison for Lin Yao, this time, Lin Yao not only injured her bones in order to save Qin Shiqi, but was also accidentally cut on the wound by the zombie, and the situation was very strict. The flesh turned out outside was faintly black, obviously poisoned, and she lost too much blood, and the person passed out.
Seeing Si Qinghan go so hard to save a girl who had not known each other for a long time, Xia Qian felt a little comforted in her heart, she was really afraid that the apprentice she brought up by herself was a cold-blooded and ruthless person, standing by and watching the life and death of others with cold eyes.
It took a whole day for Lin Yao to wake up, but Si Qinghan fell, no wonder, he sent her mana all night, and he didn't know how to control it, and the golden pill, which had just been knotted for a long time, suddenly returned to its original form. Xia Qian gave him a pulse, his consciousness swept away, and he finally let go with a sigh of relief. Although she knows that it is impossible for him to die lightly at present, he still has to be the powerful boss of the Great Demon King in the future, but he is not afraid of 10,000 just in case, if she has a soul that does not belong here, it will more or less affect his present and future.
Since this incident, the relationship between Qin Shiqi and Lin Yao has been as close as sisters, Si Qinghan and Lin Yao have also released their previous suspicions, and they have been reconciled as before, and the atmosphere of the team is harmonious and friendly. If Qin Shiqi didn't stick to her every day and made less noise, maybe it would be better, Xia Qian thought.
After she joined this team, she quickly melted into it, but every time Si Qinghan saw her, she was like a mouse seeing a cat, she was very scared, did she look ugly, or was she not satisfied? When the detachment went out to catch the mountain demon, the two of them were divided into a team, Xia Qian couldn't help but ask, straight to the point: "Si Qinghan, do you hate me very much?" โ
Si Qinghan, who was flying at high speed, suddenly stopped, his eyes didn't dare to look at her, only to see him turn around his head, revealing a trace of embarrassment: "No, there is no such thing." โ
His expression had betrayed him, and at this moment Xia Qian had an indescribable strange feeling in his heart, he was brought up by her, and she knew all the small actions and habits. Now, she has changed her appearance and voice, he can't recognize her as his master, and the psychological gap is a little bitter. Should she say that she successfully played another role and entered his world?
Thinking of this, Xia Qian continued to fly forward without pausing, Si Qinghan looked at his departing back, and seemed to be a little lonely, did he say the wrong thing again just now? Even he found it strange that he and Xia Qian had never met before, but he gave him the feeling that he had known each other for a long time. This strange sense of disobedience made him feel very uncomfortable, and he still belonged to the wind spirit root, free as the wind, exactly the same as the master, the same wind spirit root, in his heart, it was inevitable that there would be comparisons. Seeing Xia Qian's appearance in the past few days, especially the use of wind spells with a white jade fan, he was very uncomfortable, and he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say why, and he was uncomfortable in his heart.
The group walked forward, and followed the clues all the way to an extremely majestic city, Zisang City. As soon as I entered the city gate, I saw a crowd of people surrounding the bulletin board, and when they stepped forward to take a look, it meant that the daughter of the city lord was suffering from a strange disease, and it was useless to hire several doctors, and he wanted to hire a master to rescue his daughter, and he was willing to give his property to his benefactor.
"What's the strange disease? We're not doctors, so we don't have to pay attention to them. Lin Yao snorted and said disdainfully.
"We can't say that, maybe some kind of demon and monster is doing something to the daughter of that city lord, as cultivators, in addition to cultivating spells, it is our duty to kill demons and protect ordinary people." Si Qinghan said solemnly.
He said well, Xia Qian nodded and agreed. Lin Yao also stood beside Si Qinghan to make her stand out.
"Hey, hey, you don't need to be like this," Qin Shiqi pursed her small mouth, seeing that the senior brother on the side was silent, and said with a slightly aggrieved expression: "Yes, yes, I know it's wrong, I was wrong just now, let's go and see what kind of strange disease the daughter of the city lord has it." โ
So they diverted to the city lord's mansion, and before they entered the door, they could see the black demonic aura around the roof from a distance, enveloping the entire mansion, a large area of black oppression, the sunlight could hardly penetrate, according to this, the people of this mansion quickly fell ill, and in the long run, the life span would not be very long. In such a big city as Zisang City, there should be some disciples of the Xianshan Sect who came to patrol to protect the safety of the residents inside, what kind of monster actually has such cultivation, and has been dormant in Zisang City for so long, and no cultivator can see the clue.
Xia Qian was secretly surprised in his heart, and he was only slightly surprised to see that Si Qinghan and Mu Jianchen had cultivated a little higher, I am afraid that in their eyes, they can only see a small part, and they have not seen the true strength of this monster. I'm afraid it's going to be a bit tricky for them to deal with this time.
The city lord who came out to meet them was a tall and thin middle-aged man, his hair was tied into a hairpin, fixed on the top of his head, two straps hung down on his shoulders, he also grew a long beard, wore a Taoist robe, and was quite a Taoist priest with fairy wind and bones.
"Distinguished guests from afar, please come in." The city lord did not ask questions because they were young, and respectfully invited them to the mansion.
In the hall, the city lord told the ins and outs of the matter, and when he talked about the sad place, he didn't forget to wipe the cuffs.
"It's too much, are the eyes of the people in Qinglongmen all in the money?" Qin Shiqi was the first to shoot the case, and couldn't help but say the last sentence. When the others heard the facts of what the city lord said, they also had their own opinions on what Qinglongmen had done. In recent years, there is not much left of the minerals that Zisang City is proud of, and the jewelry manufactured cannot be sold at a good price, and the city's funds are insufficient, and many people cannot find jobs and move to another city. Having lost a large number of laborers, the economy of Zisang City is getting worse day by day, and the annual gift list dedicated to Qinglongmen is also decreasing year by year.
It was also the year before last that Qinglongmen personally sent people to say that Zisang City was enshrined, and when the people of Zisang City were about to be happy, Qinglongmen announced that they would have nothing to do with Zisang City in the future. This sentence undoubtedly sent them to hell.
Qinglongmen did what he said, and quickly withdrew the disciples in his own door, losing the protection of Qinglongmen, Zisang City was attacked by monsters one after another, and those monsters often robbed them of their belongings, or took some young and beautiful women away, and when the soldiers in the city found them, they had become a pair of white bones. Not to mention the babies who have just arrived, the little ones who are not very old, are all foods that youkai fancie. Everyone in the city is at risk, except for the day when things come out and go, and the streets are empty at night. Compared to the lively night market before, it is too far away.
The daughter of the lord of the city came back to sleep when she went out to see a friend one night, and never woke up the next day, but strangely enough, she still breathed and had a pulse, but she had been asleep, and even if the doctors looked at her several times, they could not see any strange disease.
