Chapter 33: Reunion
The trial meeting held by the Qingqiu banquet was divided into two sessions, the first sword test on the table was just a paper talk of the children of the family, and they meant each other, they were all stiff tricks during practice, and they were of no practical use, but they were just a shallow warm-up, and the real highlight was actually the second - Cangshan Demon Hunt.
The Gu family found a remote place in the Jiangyin territory, where the perennial resentment is shrouded, but it is not very yin and evil, and most of the evil spirits and ghosts in it are lonely souls and wild ghosts, with nowhere to go, wandering, and finally they are hidden in the deep mountains without people, because there are no people, so no one will be harassed by it, and naturally there will be no Xuanmen monks invited to eliminate demons, so this place is the most suitable for them to entrench.
In terms of level, this should be regarded as a medium-level disaster place, there are enough powerful monsters for people to hunt, and there is no major danger, it is the most suitable for these fledgling family children to try, and they have completed the trial while clearing a disaster, killing two birds with one stone, and it is also a loss that the Gu clan can find such a place, and it is indeed thoughtful.
Shangguan Yu and Feng Jingyao walked on the way up the mountain with the team, because they were on the periphery, so they didn't see anything inhuman, but they were still green mountains and green waters, which looked quite clear and clean, not at all as evil as they said, but like an elegant place, and the two of them were also very relaxed and happy along the way.
Feng Jingyao complained as she walked: "You only received two whips from your uncle yesterday, and today you came to Cangshan to hunt demons, telling you not to come to you, what if something happens?"
Shangguan Yu chuckled, put his arm around her shoulder, and said in an extremely reassuring tone: "Okay, okay, I know you're worried." It's not that I haven't been beaten by my father's whip, only two whips, just like itching, and now I don't feel it at all, it won't affect me. ”
After all, Feng Jingyao is a daughter's family, not as long as his long-term life, and she is used to injuries such things, and her attitude towards these two whips is very serious. She was about to say a few more words uneasily, when she suddenly heard a noise from behind.
"Catch the thief! A little hairy thief dares to steal Qin's things, he is bold enough!"
"Looking at her young age, I didn't expect her hands and feet to be so unclean, she is really uneducated!"
Later, the Qin clan's team suddenly stagnated, gathered in one place and formed a circle, and pointed inside, I don't know who was surrounded inside.
Shangguan Yu and Feng Jingyao looked over curiously, listening to their words, it seemed that someone had stolen their magic weapons and talismans, they caught the thief, and they were scolding him.
This kind of vignette was originally a trivial matter, and Shangguan Yu was not interested in it after hearing it clearly, and was about to turn around and continue walking, when he turned around, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Qin Chuyun also rushing over.
Feng Jingyao saw that the Qin clan's team had fallen at the end of the team, and the distance was still stretching, and if it was delayed, she might be left behind, she frowned, and said with concern: "Miss Qin, a girl doesn't know if she should deal with this kind of thing, we are also familiar with her, do you want to help her, after all, this is the realm of Cangshan Mountain, if they are left alone here, I am afraid that it will be dangerous." ”
Shangguan Yu is not as delicate as hers, in his eyes, the relationship between him and Qin Chuyun is just a stranger he knows, and he has not yet reached the level of letting him help in person. But Feng Jingyao's temperament knows that this girl is soft-hearted, and she wants to help anyone in trouble, so it is absolutely impossible for her to stand by and watch.
Shangguan Yu said: "If you want to go there, go there, just don't delay for too long, I won't go, wait for you in front, and come to me if you have something." ”
Feng Jingyao nodded and walked away, and when she walked into the circle of people, she saw that the person surrounded in the middle was a little girl in rags.
Qin Chuyun seemed to be a little surprised when she saw Feng Jingyao coming, and immediately smiled: "Why did Miss Feng come over?"
Feng Jingyao also smiled slightly: "We heard the movement here before, so we came over to see if there was anything we needed help with." As he spoke, he pointed to the thin figure on the ground with his head bowed, "What's going on?"
Qin Chuyun's face instantly sank when he turned his gaze to the little girl, and his tone was a little angry: "When our disciple was preparing to go up the mountain last night, he found that many magic weapons and talisman seals were missing, and he didn't find them after looking for a long time. When we were just on the way, we found this little thief sneakily following us in the grass, and after inspection, we found that our magic weapons were all on her, no more, no less, the same ones we had lost before. I don't know when she moved, and none of the guards noticed it, so it's so cunning and hateful, I'm about to take her back and interrogate her. ”
Feng Jingyao glanced at the little girl, and saw that there were indeed bells, paper talismans, and daggers scattered all over the place...... A wide variety of ritual instruments. She felt a little sorry when she saw these looks, and said in her heart how such a young girl could do such a thing as stealing, it was a pity.
But it's a pity, since she did steal something, it should be handed over to the Qin family for disposal, which is a matter of course.
Feng Jingyao sighed lightly, and said with regret: "Then hurry up and find a proper place for her to take care of, and admonish her a few words to let her know that she is powerful, and it is good to lure her on the right path, after all, she is still young, so don't be too embarrassed." It's not a good place to stay for long, let's deal with it quickly and hurry early. ”
Qin Chuyun listened to Feng Jingyao's persuasion, and most of her anger fell, and her face was not as angry as just now, and then she thought that this was indeed not complete, they could not be left behind by the team, so she planned to do it as soon as possible, and waved her hand lightly to signal her subordinates to escort her down. As soon as someone approached, the little girl immediately shrunk up, looking very nervous, and struggled a few times when she was forcibly dragged up, but her small body couldn't shake people at all, and finally she was dragged away from the place.
Maybe it was because she struggled too hard, and she swayed her body and threw something out at the same time.
Feng Jingyao saw a white shadow suddenly pass in front of him, and then a crisp collision sound sounded on the ground. She stopped turning and looked down curiously, and there was a finger-long white jade whistle lying at her feet.
She was immediately stunned.
Qin Chuyun saw that her expression was different, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Feng Jingyao bent down to pick up the jade whistle, stared at it with a look of surprise, looked at it for a moment, and then suddenly looked up at the thief who was about to disappear.
Feng Jingyao: "Wait! Bring her back!"
Qin Chuyun was confused, glanced at the jade whistle in her hand, and said puzzledly: "Do you know this thing?"
Feng Jingyao nodded hurriedly at her and immediately turned to the little girl, she stretched out her hand to wave away the person who escorted her, and squatted down beside her. The little girl subconsciously retreated, obviously a little afraid of her.
Feng Jingyao paused when she saw this, knowing that she might have scared her, she slowed down her movements, carefully handed the jade whistle to her eyes, and asked softly, "How can this jade whistle be on you? Who are you?"
Who knew that the little girl didn't seem to be afraid when she saw the jade whistle, her eyes were very bright, and she wanted to grab it regardless of it. But how could Feng Jingyao let her succeed, she avoided it with a slight wave of her hand, and she saw that the jade whistle had fallen into the hands of others, so she finally screamed.
"That's mine!"
Feng Jingyao frowned, and said with some displeasure: "Yours? This is clearly someone else's beloved thing, the only one in the world, where did you get it?
The little girl was poked out of her thoughts, and immediately stopped, her eyes were dripping, she was anxious and speechless, and finally seemed to be in a hurry to get the things back, and blurted out: "It was given to me by someone else!"
As soon as these words came out, Feng Jingyao was even more shocked. Everyone knows that Yuqing is Shangguan Yu's beloved thing, and it is not okay for outsiders to touch it on weekdays, so how can she give it to others casually? And she is such a little girl! But then again, what he values so much, unless it is someone who is very close to him, there is absolutely no chance to get in touch with it, since this thing is in her hands, it means that she must know Shangguan Yu. But she looked almost like a beggar, how could Shangguan Yu have anything to do with her?
Feng Jingyao stared at the jade whistle in her hand and fell into deep thought, and was considering the situation, but Qin Chuyun showed a clear look, and snorted: "It seems that she has stolen more than one family, even the Shangguan family has stolen, she is a habitual offender!
Then he summoned another man, and he immediately took her down.
Feng Jingyao suddenly said, "Slow down!"
Qin Chuyun's eyebrows frowned, and his face became more and more confused: "Wind girl, what do you mean?"
Feng Jingyao said: "This person may have something to do with my brother, I will call him to take a look, maybe I can find out who she is." ”
As soon as Qin Chuyun heard that Shangguan Yu was coming, he immediately eased his expression, his face became much brighter, his eyes flashed with a strange brilliance, he laughed dryly, and said: "Shangguan Gongzi is in front?" Okay, let him come over and take a look, so as not to let this girl take Shangguan Gongzi's token outside in the future and deceive him, damaging Gongzi's reputation." ”
Feng Jingyao nodded after hearing this, and immediately returned the same way, and when she returned to her original place, she saw Shangguan Yu waiting for her not far ahead.
She hurriedly chased after her, and Shangguan Yu saw that she looked in a hurry, and immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
Feng Jingyao told him what had just happened, and handed him the jade whistle in his hand, and then asked, "Is this girl your person?"
Shangguan Yu's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the jade whistle, he stretched out his hand to take the jade whistle, looked left and right before he said unhurriedly: "Where are the people now?"
Feng Jingyao said: "I'm afraid that she is your person, so I asked Miss Qin to detain the person first and didn't let her go." ”
Shangguan Yu immediately walked in that direction.
Feng Jingyao saw that the person had walked away in the blink of an eye, and immediately said loudly: "She is really your person!" said and looked at the front again, the emblem flags of each family had been erected on the hillside in front of him at this time, and the flags were fluttering from a distance, and the momentum had risen.
"You're about to enter the mountain, and you won't have time to go in with everyone when you go back now. ”
I only heard Shangguan Yu reply leisurely as he walked: "You go in first and help me keep an eye on it, remember to be optimistic about Han Feng." ”
When the words fell, he continued to walk forward without looking back, Feng Jingyao glanced back and forth a few times, although he also wanted to go with him, but he still felt that his commission was more important, and finally rushed to meet everyone first.
When Shangguan Yu arrived, he happened to see Ye Lingluo surrounded by a group of people, all of whom looked disdainful, and while pointing at her, they spat and spat a few words of sarcasm and insults.
He narrowed his eyes at this scene and walked over without saying a word.
Qin Chuyun's expression changed as soon as he saw Shangguan Yu's figure, and he didn't have the slightest disgust and dislike before, but smiled gently: "Shangguan Gongzi, are you here?"
Shangguan Yu didn't hear it, and walked straight towards Ye Lingluo. The subordinates of the Qin family were extremely recognizable, and when they saw that their master had suddenly changed his attitude at this time, they immediately understood in their hearts, and they immediately restrained their ugly faces, and did not squint their eyes seriously, as if it was not them who were scolding endlessly just now. Shangguan Yu glanced at them with a subtle expression as he walked past them, but did not react.
He first stood in front of Ye Lingluo and looked at her fixedly for a while, and then slowly squatted down, pinched her chin with his hand and raised it, and looked at her expressionlessly for a while, without saying a word from beginning to end.
Ye Lingluo was forced by him to raise his head, and had to look at him, but his eyes were weak and a little scared, but there was no surprise that the old man would see him again. Also, the last time she ran away on her own initiative in his eyes, the worst thing is that she also stole his things, he must have known afterwards, maybe how angry he was at the time! Maybe he even had the heart to kill her, but she ran away to escape, who knew that it was so unfortunate today, but the road was narrow, and she really ran into it, is this even karma?
She had seen him kill people before, so how could she not be afraid of such a situation?
Shangguan Yu squinted and looked at her for a long time, her expression calm and exploratory, as if she didn't know her at all. It wasn't until Ye Lingluo's jaw was pinched and he was numb and unconscious that he smiled slightly, revealing a look of unknown meaning.
Qin Chuyun saw that the two of them looked at each other wordlessly, and he couldn't figure out what the situation was, so he asked tentatively and softly, "Shangguan Gongzi, is this person from your Shangguan family?"
Shangguan Yu seemed to come back to his senses when he heard this, so he let go of his hand and stood up, turned his head to look at Qin Chuyun, then at Ye Lingluo, and finally said under Ye Lingluo's eyes with some expectation: "No." ”
