Chapter 6: To Wucheng
The sky was covered with dark clouds, thunder was rolling, electric snakes were intertwined and cut through the sky, and gusts of wind were about to tear everyone apart.
A figure descended from the sky and landed steadily in the courtyard, staring at the black-robed man.
The person who came was Qi Xianglin, he put his hands behind his back, exuding a sense of slaughter, his eyes were sharp, he looked directly at the black-robed man in front of him, and said sharply: "One of the four major families of my Qi family, how can you wait for cats and dogs to bully at will." I still want to kill people and take away my granddaughter, hum! Wish for the moon! ”
The face under the mask can be described as pale, he has never been insulted like this, pointed at Qi Xianglin's nose and shouted loudly: "I thought who was playing tricks, the Qi family is now in a catastrophe, and it is worthy of the name of the four major families?" I'm just cleaning up the portal! ”
"Huangkou child, I don't know what to do!" Qi Xianglin waved his robe, pinched the seal in his hand, and the thunder and lightning condensed in his palm, "Go!" The thunderbolt converged into a ball of light and flew out, hitting the man's face.
The light group was menacing, and the black-robed man dodged in a panic, frightened, he didn't expect that it was really the old man of the Qi family who was using the thunder method. Summoning the seal in his hand, the skull fire that had been trapped in place and roaring in pain immediately reacted and reflexively blocked it.
"Bang", the light cluster smashed into the skeleton fire spirit, accompanied by a sharp roar, it instantly turned into smoke and dust, and dissipated into the air.
"Nope! Burst! The black-robed man was counterattacked, spitting blood from his mouth and retreating again and again. He propped his chest in pain, with hatred in his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Qi Xianglin!" ”
Resisting the pain, he half-grasped the palm of his hand, and the water spirit condensed and condensed into ice. A wall of ice rose from the ground, and he took the opportunity to die.
At the same time, the water spirit that bound Qi Yue in the house also disappeared. After gaining freedom, she turned around and immediately hugged her grandmother, feeling very worried, fortunately her grandfather came back in time, otherwise she and her grandmother would really die.
The bottom of my heart is even more firm, I must find a way to break the critical seal, in this land of Youxing, if you can't cultivate, you can only be slaughtered by others, and you can't protect your loved ones, and it will add trouble to them.
Lin Zhi's face turned pale and he breathed a long sigh of relief, "Xiaoyue, let's go, go out and have a look." ”
Pulling his granddaughter out of the house. There are thousands of thoughts in my heart, who is going to arrest Qi Yue, and he actually sent a cultivator who knows the three kinds of five elements to arrest her, such a big deal, it must have a lot of origin. This matter must be inseparable from the three elders, but the letter was conveyed by him, could it be that he deliberately leaked the news......
When the two of them arrived outside the house, they saw Qi Xianglin's figure anywhere, only the two rows of corpses of Chen Heng in the courtyard. And the demon fox, who was originally sleeping at home, was standing under the strong wind at this time, and there was lightning and thunder above his head, but now he was calm. I saw him raise his claws to outline runes into the air, which was cumbersome and complicated. As the last stroke fell, the rune flashed blue light and pressed down on the two rows of corpses, and the blue light flashed, and all the corpses disappeared, leaving only the blood stains on the beach.
The light faded, and the fox gasped, exhausted. Although his injuries healed, his cultivation was not fully recovered, and his mana was less than thirty percent of his usual power. This spell induced him, and he was really a little weak.
Lin Zhi and the others on the side were already surprised. I didn't expect this demon fox to have such ability.
Qi Yue said incredulously: "So you can speak?!" What kind of trick are you using, their corpses? ”
The fox glanced sideways at Qi Yue, jumped lightly, jumped on the stone pier in the courtyard and lay down, closed his eyes to cultivate, and said quietly: "Let their souls be summed up in the underworld." ”
"Summing up the underworld! What kind of magic is this? Qi Yue exclaimed! I can only hear its voice as warm as jade.
I was even more envious in my heart, this fox was so powerful, she could actually let the soul of the dead look back at the underworld, if she could also cultivate, it would be great, and it would not drag down her family.
"You don't understand." The fox's tail curled up and ignored it.
"You! Makes you proud. "Mutter quietly, the voice is good, but the words don't listen! But after thinking about it, it wasn't him who incarnated as a grandfather to save her and grandma.
"Xiaoyue, don't be rude." Lin Zhi scolded in a low voice and continued: "Thanks to Your Excellency's rescue this time, otherwise my mother-in-law and grandson would have been separated from her grandfather's yin and yang. Her eyes were moist, she looked at the fox, bent down to thank her, but an invisible spiritual power lifted her up.
"Seniors don't need to be polite, since I promised your husband to protect you and the two of you, I have to do what I say." Lying on his stomach, he raised his head slightly, and the fox spoke in a muffled voice.
After a moment of conversation, he continued: "But senior, you two should not be silent about me being a demon clan, if my identity is exposed, it will not be beneficial to you. His eyes glanced at Qi Yue.
"Your Excellency need not worry, we will not say anything." Lin Zhi swore frankly.
"And what shall we call you? I can't keep calling you a fox. With a slight pout, she can naturally distinguish between the important and the serious, and she won't make a big deal about the fact that there is a demon at home.
"Just call me a voice." The fox jumped off the stone pier and walked to the side house.
"Your Excellency, slow down." Seeing that he was going back to the house to sleep, Lin Zhi hurriedly called to stop. It's not safe now, and you have to get out as soon as possible. At present, it is difficult to walk on the mountain road in the right winter, and it is not easy to return to Beijing, so I can only go to my old friend to avoid it first.
"Seniors want to leave, you just pack your bags, I'll take a nap." His voice was lazy and sleepy, and he walked into the house without looking back.
After getting a response, Lin Zhi immediately went back to the house to clean up, I am afraid that he will have to stay for ten days and a half months, and he will have to wait until the old man comes back to make plans.
The porch was empty, leaving Qi Yue alone standing in place.
Leaving Wuling Mountain is her dream, she has never been out of the mountain in this other world for thirteen years, although this time it is to avoid the limelight, but her heart is still full of expectations for the outside world.
There were still a lot of things to take, so she immediately went into her grandmother's house to help clean up.
"Grandma, where are we going to avoid the limelight?" While rummaging through things, Qi Yue asked.
"Go to an old man, Wucheng."
Lin Zhi pinched two small notes in his hand, looked out the window, and took out a beautifully carved bamboo whistle.
"Woo~", the whistle sounded, and I saw two goshawks flying in the distance, from far to near, and landed steadily on the windowsill.
The gray-black wings were stained with a little snow particles, and Lin Zhi gently swept them off, and put a note into the bamboo ring on the foot of one of the goshawks, "Xiaoyun, this letter needs to be sent back to the Qi family and handed over to the old man." ”
The goshawk called Xiaoyun flapped its wings and flew eastward, gradually disappearing into the clouds.
"Xiao Hei, this letter will be sent to the City Lord's Mansion in Wucheng and handed over to the City Lord's wife, He Lan." Lin Zhi instructed again, patted its head, and with a whistling sound, Xiao Hei fluttered out.
"Grandma, it turns out that your old man is the wife of the city lord of Wucheng." She didn't know about her grandmother's family affairs, and she had asked before, but her grandfather didn't mention anything. Now it seems that he can have a relationship with the wife of the city lord, and his grandmother's family affairs are not ordinary.
"Yes, she's my boudoir friend." Looking back at his granddaughter who had already packed up, Lin Zhi took out a black lacquered wooden box, opened it and took out a jade pendant.
The jade pendant is round, crystal clear, and carved with complicated characters, and handed it over, "Xiaoyue, I haven't told you all the time, and now that there are many disasters, this jade pendant should be given to you as soon as possible, it was found on you when we found you back then." ”
took the jade pendant, only felt that it was warm in her hand, and looked at it carefully, the complicated characters on it, bent and twisted, a bit similar to the oracle bone inscription in her cognition, but there was a difference, she didn't know a character, "Grandma, do you know the characters on it?" ”
Lin Zhi shook his head, "I don't know, this doesn't look like the words of the land of Youxing." Your grandfather said it might be from a foreign race. ”
"Alien?! Grandma, you say, could this be related to my background? "I'm very surprised, if it's really related to her background, wouldn't it be to find out about the foreign race! With a flash of inspiration, the foreign race is the ghost clan and the demon clan! I was scared, what the hell did she come from?
"It's just speculation, the land of Youxing has a long heritage, and there must be something your grandfather doesn't know about the history of thousands of years. As for my life experience, I also think it is closely related to this jade pendant. ”
took the luggage and motioned to Qi Yue to bring the jade pendant, "Let's go, let's leave for Wucheng today, it's not safe at home anymore, and I can't stay for a long time." ”
After that, he took out a white porcelain vase from his purse, "I see that the sound is healed, but he looks like he lacks spiritual power, save us today Don't look at his big victory, in fact, his spiritual power is scarce is the stage of recovery." This is the solid spirit pill I refined, it can help him recover some spiritual power, you can send it to the side room later, I think he can also use it. ”
Qi Yue nodded, took the porcelain vase, and carefully put it into his purse. I followed my grandmother out of the room and went to the side room.
"Lord Eine!" Before the man entered the house, the shouts were heard.
Curled up on the soft couch with his tail curled, his eyes were sleepy, his eyes fell on the white figure at the door, and he said lazily: "What's the matter?" ”
Handing over the white porcelain vase, Qi Yue sat on the corner of the soft couch, swayed his feet, and said, "The solid spirit pill that grandma entrusted me to give you can help you recover some spiritual power." ”
With a flick of the tail, the porcelain bottle floated in the air, and a turquoise pill flew out, crystal clear. At the same time, a good smell of fresh medicine filled the entire room, Qi Yue took a deep breath, and immediately felt refreshed and energetic.
"Grandma is really powerful, and I am also an alchemist, but if I can refine such an excellent grade of solid spirit pill, I am afraid it will take several years to achieve it." Qi Yue praised from the bottom of his heart, grandma's poison refining is first-class, and this solid elixir is also a top-notch product, and it is not an exaggeration to guess that grandma is at the level of a grandmaster. When she goes to Wucheng, she must let her grandmother teach her well in her spare time.
But I also sighed that grandma was really hidden.
Si Yin ignored it, and the pill flew into his mouth, only to feel a stream of spiritual power flowing into his limbs, sweeping away the previous feeling of weakness and exhaustion, "It's really good." ”
Jumping off, jumping off the couch, wagging his big tail, and walking out of the house.
Qi Yue hurriedly followed, "Wait for me!" ”
Lin Zhi, who had already packed up, waited in front of the gate, looked at the two figures coming in front of him, and said, "Your Excellency, we are going to Wucheng this time, and now we are going to the town to buy a carriage, and we can arrive before dark." ”
After some hesitation, he continued: "But Your Excellency is afraid that it is a little eye-catching. ”
The fox nodded, its tail was a little, and a stream of blue spiritual power burst out, and it instantly transformed into a white kitten. Jumped lightly and jumped on Qi Yue's shoulder.
"You just keep carrying me."
Hearing his command, Qi Yue froze in place, looking at her grandmother as if asking for help, hoping to help her out of the siege.
"Your Excellency, or..." Before the words were finished, the cat said: "You can rest assured, senior, this girl is the most suitable to hold me." ”
"Okay." Lin Zhi sighed helplessly.
Knowing that this guy can't catch up, he can only admit it. He held the cat on his shoulder in his arms and said indignantly: "Obviously I can go!" But ...... "The more you talk, the quieter it becomes." Because the amber eyes of the cat in her arms were filled with coldness, and she was staring at her motionlessly.
Obediently admit it, and follow grandma in the direction of Wucheng.
What she didn't know was that at the edge of her eyebrows, a trace of aura floated out, and she was sucked into the mouth and nose by the cat in her arms......
