87_87441 Along the way, the distance from the Xiuzhen Continent became farther and farther, and the spiritual energy in the air became thinner and thinner, so Zhao Qing had to stop and go on the sea, relying on pills to replenish spiritual power. Finally, it took half a month to reach the mainland, and when I heard the accent of the people in my hometown, I felt very cordial.

In the Xiuzhen realm, the accent of speech is biased towards the temperament of the Tao, so there is no language communication barrier in various places, and the accent is determined according to one's own understanding of the Tao.

After living in the world of cultivating immortals for many years, Zhao Qing has forgotten a little about how to say his hometown. Zhao Qing saw several women washing clothes by the stream, and a middle-aged woman washed a little slower, falling last, Zhao Qing stepped forward and asked for some information.

"This lady, where is the clothing store, do you know?" Zhao Qing couldn't hide her smile, she had spoken her hometown dialect again for many years, although she was holding back, it wasn't wrong, but she just felt excited and happy.

"A clothes shop? I guess the accent girl is a foreigner, we used to have a clothing shop here, but the shopkeeper went to other places, and the clothing shop is no longer open. If the girl lacks a change of clothes, I have two more here, and you can take them and wear them first. The middle-aged woman saw Zhao Qing's clothes, although she knew that she was a foreigner, but she looked at her kind face and couldn't raise the idea of rejection. I heard that she wanted some clothes, and she also thought that she had a few extra pieces at home, so she was ready to sell them to Zhao Qing, maybe she could exchange them for more silver.

"What's so embarrassing, I still have some silver here, you take it." Of course, Zhao Qing saw that the eldest mother didn't really want to give her clothes, so she took out the silver she had prepared before, and didn't care how much it was, so she grabbed it and gave it to the eldest mother. However, when I heard what the eldest lady said before, I was puzzled, "Why did the shopkeeper of the clothing store run away?" ”

"What, you don't know yet?" The eldest lady saw so much silver for the first time, holding it heavily in the palm of her hand, and her heart suddenly burst into joy, and she was completely unwary of Zhao Qing. "The emperor died, and then people from neighboring countries called. The newly enthroned emperor fled. ”

"What about the rest of the royal family?" Hearing the eldest mother's words, Zhao Qing was suddenly startled and asked in a panic.

The eldest lady was just chatting with Zhao Qing, she was not in a hurry at all, she hid all the silver under the washed clothes, and said unhurriedly: "How do I know, they should have run away, even if they didn't run away, they wouldn't survive." It is said that even the ancestral graves have been stripped away, and it will not be long before the armies of other countries will fight here. Poor man in my family was arrested to fight, and no one brought a word to him whether he was dead or alive. I'm also ready to run, but this is our home, there are still a few babies at home that are not easy to bring, not to mention the fallen leaves, it has to go back to the roots, if I leave, what if my man can't find a home. ”

Zhao Qing couldn't listen to the rest of the matter at all, and her spirit began to be in a trance, how could this be? The country is gone, so what happened to her father?

Zhao Qing nervously grabbed the eldest mother's hand: "Auntie, have you heard that any royal family members have been arrested recently?" No news at all? "Girl, what are you doing asking about this?" Seeing Zhao Qing's nervous appearance, the eldest mother was also suspicious. It's one thing to be greedy for money, and it's not good to get yourself killed.

Zhao Qing didn't have any explanation, but took out another handful of silver and handed it to the eldest lady. The eldest lady looked at the silver, looked at Zhao Qing, rolled her eyes, and finally smiled and put the silver under her clothes. "I've heard a little, it is said that there is a prince, his family was trapped in Jingcheng and was captured by the army. The rest, I'm a woman, I really don't know. “

"Thank you, auntie." Zhao Qing was very excited to hear the news, which meant that there was news about her father. Thinking about it, he directly prepared to rush to Jingcheng.

"Girl, wait." The eldest lady stopped her. "You haven't taken your clothes yet, change your clothes and go again."

Zhao Qing reacted to what the eldest mother said, smiled gratefully and went to change clothes with her.

It is a coarse cloth clothes, and when worn on Zhao Qing's body, it also carries a fairy aura, which makes people look away. Zhao Qing didn't have the time to pay attention to his image, and rushed directly to Jingcheng.

Running wildly all the way, Zhao Qing saw the desolate people and the blood on the battlefield. In the end, Zhao Qing really couldn't help it, took out the flute, and played a requiem all the way to appease the dead, wishing them to enter reincarnation as soon as possible and not be lonely souls and wild ghosts.

When Zhao Qing came to Jingcheng, Jingcheng was bloody, and she didn't want to rush directly into the city. The divine sense searched the entire city, hoping that the prince who was arrested here was his father, but at the same time he did not want to see his father.

When the divine sense observed that it was really his father who was locked up in prison, Zhao Qing's heart suddenly ached.

"Father, I'm back, Qing'er has come to see you." Zhao Qing rushed to the dungeon, the wood in the dungeon was no obstacle to her, and she directly smashed the cell door with one palm.

"Is it Qing'er? Qing'er, you're finally back. In the cell, a middle-aged man covered in blood and dirt slowly moved his body, and a small figure poked his head out of his arms.

"Father......" Zhao Qing looked at the down-and-out middle-aged man, and couldn't believe that it was his father. His clothes were tattered and dirty, and even his voice was hoarse. But the kind of bond of family affection let Zhao Qing know that he was his father.

Zhao Qing waved a dusting trick to remove the stains on his father's body, but it didn't take long for a trace of red blood to seep out from under his clothes. Zhao Qing stepped forward, pulled his father's clothes away with trembling hands, and found that his father was covered with dense whip marks, both new and old. A little boy walked out of his father's arms, looking at Zhao Qing with big eyes watery.

Zhao Qing took out his elixir and applied it to his father, and the scars disappeared, leaving no scars. But Zhao Qing knew that his father had been hollowed out by this injury, and tears couldn't help but flow.

"Qing'er doesn't cry. Aren't all men going to die? Don't cry, good. The father saw it openly, and felt that he just didn't have long to live, but he was very happy to see the side of his daughter who he had been missing before he died, so he began to talk, as much as he could, as if he couldn't say enough.

"After you left, the emperor was obsessed with the elixir, he was afraid of death, and he also knew that there was such a thing as cultivating truth in the world, so he desperately refined the medicine, hoping for immortality. The elixir sent by the national teacher is indeed longevity, and the effect is obvious, but after the national teacher takes you away, the emperor will go to the Taoist priests in the rivers and lakes, but those people are liars. Many ministers advised the emperor, but he did not listen. Ten years, just ten years, he died ......".
