Chapter Ninety-Two: Meeting the Dead Again
Chapter Ninety-Two: Meeting the Dead Again
A year later, on a small hill near the Fire Spirit Gate. Chi Shui stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the black-clothed senior with some concern, and the black-clothed senior had a calm face, with his hands behind his back, his eyes were leveled into the distance, and he said, "Don't worry! The little demon should be sure. ”
When Chi Shui heard this, she was still a little worried, she had been waiting for them to come to the town next to the Wandan Gate, but after waiting for several months, she only waited for a news that they had arrived near the Fire Spirit Gate.
She hurried over, but just as the little demon broke through, it had been retreating in the valley at the bottom of the cliff for two years, and now was the critical moment, so the two of them could only stand here and wait.
She also already knew that in that valley, there used to be a demon cultivator who lived there, and the little demon happened to pass by there, and went in to take a look out of curiosity. I didn't know what I saw, but suddenly I realized that I needed to retreat immediately, so they settled here.
Because of this, after Chishui left the school, they did not look for it, but passed the news to her through special channels and asked her to find it.
And that special channel, Chi Shui guessed, I was afraid that it was inseparable from the dark market, and she thought of the jade piece in her ring, and suddenly had an urge to throw it away, after all, this feeling of being controlled by others was not comfortable.
But she's not entirely sure if it's related to the jade piece.
A few days later, Chishui and the two were sitting quietly on the top of the mountain peak, when they saw a violent wind suddenly rise in the valley, because of the terrain of the valley, the wind gradually swirled, forming a tornado.
Both of them were awake, and when they opened their eyes, they saw that the tornado was getting bigger and bigger, and the speed of rotation was getting faster and faster, and it didn't take long for it to exceed their height, and it quickly swept into the sky, scattering some of the low clouds in the sky.
Around the tornado, all the smaller flowers and trees were swept up in it. It was broken into several pieces in a few clicks, and soon disappeared without a trace.
At the top of the mountain, the black-clothed senior was fine, but Chishui had already used his spiritual power to enhance his gravity, and he barely sat in place, not being swept away by the powerful tornado.
This went on for half an hour, and because of the movement here, some of the monks in the vicinity began to gather here. And in the center of the tornado, the little demon was in it, his body became larger, and he didn't see any movement from it, so his body followed the tornado and slowly rose into the air.
After a while, the little demon rose to the top, and saw it spin, and several wind blades swung out, from the inside, towards the tornado.
Chi Shui found that the wind blade was more than twice as large as what she had seen before. And the power is much stronger, the little demon continues to swing, and those wind blades continue to hit the tornado.
I saw that the tornado was soon no longer stable, and began to twist and twist, and finally, in a more powerful attack of the little demon, it quickly collapsed, and countless wind light points spilled out, and before it reached the ground, the little demon rotated, and saw that those wind light points seemed to have a will, and they all rushed towards the little demon's body.
The little demon hummed, as if it was extremely happy, its wings waved lightly, and its speed accelerated, and it looked at it with compound eyes, and in an instant, its body was like an arrow off the string, and it shot towards the black-clothed senior.
I saw that the black-clothed senior's eyebrows moved, his hand turned into a palm and nudged, and a transparent light screen spread out from his palm, forming a wall of light, but the little demon hit the wall of light alive, without shaking the wall of light for half a minute.
But the little demon is not dead, and when it fails, she drives out her tail pin, and when it gets bigger, she drills into the wall of light.
Chi Shui watched it from the sidelines, and was surprised. She had always thought that the little demon was coming for her, because before, there were countless times like this.
And this time, the object is the black-clothed senior, you know, the black-clothed senior is already a monk in the Yuan Infant Stage, even if the little demon advances to the fifth order, he can't compete with him?
She can only say that the little demon is really courageous.
Sure enough, I saw that the little demon's tail needle was drilled on the light screen, for a long time, there was no result, and the little demon gave up, took back the tail needle, didn't even look at the black-clothed senior, and turned his body smaller, and flew to the red water head, his body was soft, and he couldn't move down.
And in Chishui's heart, the little demon's accusatory voice sounded quickly, "Woo, you finally came out, I'm miserable." That bad guy won't let me go to you, and won't let me go out to play, I'm getting bored......"
Next, he began to count the bad deeds of the black-clothed senior one by one, Chi Shui couldn't interject at all, and could only smile at the black-clothed senior slightly stiffly.
Seeing this, the black-clothed senior pulled his mouth slightly, and said lightly: "Let's go!" Someone came up. ”
Chishui probed, and sure enough, and there was more than one person, it seems. These fifth-order demon beasts can still attract the attention of monks, after all, although there are quite a lot of demon beasts on the Cangzhou Continent Road now, most of them are in the west, which is a place where ordinary monks dare not set foot, let alone want to hunt and kill.
Chi Shui stood up, and was about to pull out the soul flute, when he felt that his body was wrapped in a whirlwind, and immediately, he followed the black-clothed senior, flashing into the distance.
After a few flashes, it was already dozens of miles away, and as soon as Chi Shui gained a firm foothold, he saw that the black-clothed senior didn't say a word, turned into a puff of black smoke, and burrowed into the soul-attracting flute.
The meaning is obvious, and next, it's up to Chishui to decide the itinerary by himself.
Chishui looked at the direction and chose to run to the east.
Time is the most merciless, slipping away in a hurry, not changing by anything.
Ten years later, Chishui stood outside the gate of a city, looking at the two big red lacquer characters on the gate: Yancheng.
This should be what Chef Zheng said about his hometown, I don't know how he is now, whether the foundation is successful or not, there has been no news of him for nearly 20 years.
Thinking of this, she no longer hesitated, stepped into the city gate, and with a slight sweep of perception, she saw the pattern of the entire city clearly.
This is a mortal city, although there are cultivators, but most of them are hidden in it, and their identities are not revealed.
However, in such a place, there are footprints of the dark market, and Chishui is even more surprised, the power of this dark market is huge, and she has traveled for more than ten years. None of them have escaped their control.
This had to make her feel awe-inspiring and act more cautiously.
In the past ten years, although she has also encountered some hardships and difficulties, most of them can be handled, and because she has always been low-key and is not a troublemaker, she can be regarded as safe.
Since she later set foot in a mortal city, she did not use the Soul Flute again, and she was a little leisurely along the way.
At this time, she was completely different from before, when she had just left the Qin family and traveled the world with Uncle Qin.
She finally realized the feeling of Uncle Qin at that time, even if she was on the road for more than a month, she would not feel a trace of fatigue, so she and Qin Xiang followed behind Uncle Qin and Qin Yu, supporting each other and moving forward with difficulty, and she could no longer find it.
Thinking of this, Chi Shui's mouth was slightly hooked, and a smile appeared in her eyes, she walked leisurely to a medium-sized inn, swept it casually, and felt quite satisfied, so she walked in, picked a remote location, and sat down.
Because this is not the peak season for dining, there are only a few people in the lobby, all of whom seem to be unassuming, and they are all scattered on various edges.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, Chishui casually asked for a few butterflies in the store's signature dishes, and before the shopkeeper left, he asked: "Xiaoer, may I ask, where is the Zheng family's mansion?" ”
The shopkeeper was stunned, looked at Chishui with some surprise, and asked carefully, "Are you talking about Gong Zheng's mansion?" ”
"Zheng Gong?" Chi Shui was taken aback, and then asked, "May I ask the name of this Zheng Gong?" ”
"The girl is a foreigner at first glance, and she doesn't even know the name of the famous Zheng Gong, Zheng Gong's surname is Zheng Minghong, and the Zheng family is a famous family in Yancheng, and it has been prosperous for more than ten years."
Several other people in the lobby also looked at her position, and when they saw that she was dressed ordinarily, they also smiled.
Zheng Hong is the real name of Chef Zheng, and when Chi Shui heard this, he asked, "I don't know where this Zheng Gongfu is?" ”
Seeing that she insisted on asking, the shopkeeper also pointed out the path with Chishui, although he didn't think that the girl in black really had anything to do with that Zheng Gong, but it didn't hurt to answer the previous sentence.
Someone next to him heard this and chuckled softly.
How can this escape Chi Shui's ears, her face did not change, and after thanking the shopkeeper, she moved her eyes to the window and looked at the pedestrians around her.
These mortals, I don't know the depths, in the past ten years, she doesn't know how many she has encountered, if she is really more serious with them, she must not die of exhaustion?
After paying for a few dishes, she settled the bill and walked in the direction pointed by Xiao Er.
When the shopkeeper and the others saw this, they were all slightly shocked, and they thought at the same time, could it be that they were all wrong?
But this Chishui has long ceased to care, but a few streets away, about a cup of tea, she has come to the front of the Zheng Gong's Mansion, and she saw that this mansion covers an extremely wide area, the outer wall is towering, and the construction time is not long, and she can still smell the faint smell of red paint.
Of course, this is only because cultivators have sensitive senses, and ordinary people can't smell them.
Chi Shui approached the iron gate, which was about a foot high, knocked lightly on the door three times with the ring on the iron gate, and then took two steps back and waited for the others to come and open the door.
After a while, the wooden door slowly opened, and two young gray-clothed servants walked out, one of them glanced Chishui up and down, and then showed disdain, "Who are you looking for?" Can there be a sticker? ”
Chi Shui shook his head and asked, "This is Zheng Hong's mansion?" ”
When another person heard this, he couldn't help but reprimand: "Zheng Gong's name, you also called it casually?" ”
Chi Shui's face did not change, and he said lightly: "I'll look for Gong Zheng, please go in and report it." "Standing on the territory of mortals, on the surface, you still have to use the rules of mortals to do things, for the sake of getting along with Chef Zheng for many years, she has not bothered, and it is up to the owner to beat the dog!
When the person who spoke first heard this, he looked sarcastic, and was about to close the iron door, but the person who reprimanded Chishui thought for a moment before asking, "What token does the girl have?" ”
"Tokens?" It seems that it is really not easy to enter this Zheng Gongfu, and he also needs a token, Chi Shui's heart turned, so he took out a low-level talisman seal at random and handed it to the person who asked him.
The man took the talisman seal, took a closer look, his face suddenly changed greatly, he looked at Chishui again, and then a big sweat poured out, and he hurriedly handed the talisman back to her with both hands, and apologized again and again, "Girl, the villain is clumsy, I didn't recognize the girl, please follow the villain in, Zheng Gong has been waiting for many years." ”
When he first entered the Zheng Mansion and took over the errand of the doorman, he had to be explained by the previous doorman, saying that if a girl in black came here, she must be received as a VIP and must not be offended, which was specially ordered by Zheng Gong.
It's just that more than ten years ago, the doorman retreated, and explained the matter to him, he has been doing it for a few years, and no one has come to the door, and gradually he is about to forget, if he doesn't see that talisman seal, he is afraid that this errand will not only not be guaranteed, but even his life may be lost.
Their servants of Zheng Gongfu, no more than outsiders, know that there are immortals, that is, in Zheng Gong's Mansion, in addition to Zheng Gong, there are two immortals, but the immortal law is not as powerful as Zheng Gong. When they entered the mansion, they were ordered not to pass it on, and he was fortunate enough to see an immortal use it.
He saw the confusion on his companion's face, and before he remembered it, he was inconvenient to remind, so he asked his companion to guard the door, and he respectfully took the girl to the main reception room and sat down, and asked her to wait a while, he went out of the house, quickly ordered a good tea, and then wiped his sweat, and ran quickly to Zheng Gong's residence.
After a while, a cyan light and shadow flashed, Chi Shui stood up, and saw Chef Zheng walking in quickly, and when he saw her, he was very excited, and when he was still three steps away from her, he suddenly stopped and made a big salute to her.
Chi Shui turned sideways slightly, and only accepted half of the salute, she didn't dare to accept it all, speaking of which, Chef Zheng was much older than her, and he watched her grow up, and he was half of her elder.
She could see that Chef Zheng had already built a foundation, and now his face was full of red light, his complexion was excellent, and he had a majestic momentum in brocade clothes and jade belts.
After Chef Zheng finished the big salute, stood up, and politely invited Chishui to sit down, he himself chose a guest seat closer to Chishui to sit down, he received the great favor of Chishui, and Chishui built the foundation before him, and it was in the middle of the foundation building period, and his cultivation was higher than him, so he did not dare to sit on the main seat.
He then took a quick look at Chi Shui, and found that except for a slight change in her clothes, everything else was the same as before he left, she was still eighteen or nineteen years old, and she looked very young.
And he, although he has successfully built the foundation and his life has been extended, his appearance is retained at the moment when the foundation was successfully built, because he built the foundation late, and at that time, most of his hair was white.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but remember that at that time, after bidding farewell to Chishui, he left Qianyunmen, traveled the world for several years, saw thousands of rivers and mountains, and was satisfied, so he returned to his hometown.
It was only at this time that he remembered the jade box that Chi Shui gave him before, because the jade box was extremely ordinary, and he remembered Chi Shui's explanation that he couldn't open it until it was in a safe place, and over time, he almost forgot it.
After finding it, he opened it at random and looked at it, and he was suddenly pleasantly surprised, he never thought that the Tsukidan, which he had dreamed of and had spent decades not getting, was actually in his storage bag, and he had not found it for several years.
If he hadn't thought about it by chance, he was afraid that he would have missed it, so he immediately found a secluded place, and after preparing for nearly two years, he finally broke through the retreat and attacked the attack.
He has been looking forward to it for many years, and he has long understood the process of building the foundation thoroughly, and now he has obtained the foundation building pill, everything is ready, and after a painful breakthrough, he was finally able to build the foundation successfully.
He didn't care where Chishui got this Tsukidan, he only knew that Chishui gave him this precious and abnormal Tsukidan, and that was his benefactor.
After a brief greeting with Chishui, he said that he would invite her to see a place, and then took Chishui and ran out of the city.
Although Chi Shui was a little puzzled, he saw that Chef Zheng's expression was extremely serious, and it was inconvenient to refuse, so he agreed to go with him.
Although their speed did not use spells, it was much faster than that of mortals, but after most of the day's work, they came to the place that Chef Zheng said.
This is a valley that is not too big, it looks inconspicuous from the outside, Chishui perception poked out, and she was suddenly a little moved, she saw that Chef Zheng was looking at her seriously, so she nodded and said, "Thank you, I like it very much." ”
Hearing Chi Shui's words, Chef Zheng seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "This area has been taken by me, and within the scope of the Zheng Mansion, no one dares to approach, so you can rest assured that you can stay." ”
The first thing he did after he succeeded in building the foundation was to find a suitable place for his benefactor to live in, and he could guess that Chishui would leave Qianyunmen sooner or later.
He searched for a long time, and after comparing more, he finally picked this place, and what he liked was the environment here, with mountains and rivers, and it was quiet and abnormal.
In order to get this place, he no longer went incognito, but went into the mortal world, gradually established his prestige, established his own power, and finally took this territory a few years ago.
As soon as he got it, he began to take care of it, and arranged the place very properly, as soon as Chishui came, he could live in it directly.
Chishui walked slowly in, the road into the valley was long and narrow, some sections, even only allowed one person to pass, about half an hour later, Chishui finally came to the valley, and saw that a curtain of waterfalls from the middle of the mountainside straight down, some hit the raised stones, splashed strings of jade beads, under the sunlight, refracted the colorful glow.
Under the waterfall, there is a deep pool of clear water, about seven or eight zhang in size, the pool water is light, but there is not much sound, and it sounds crisp and pleasant.
Chishui is a little curious, so much water falls, but the water level of the deep pool does not rise a little, could it be that this deep pool is connected to the underground water system?
At this time, Chef Zheng slightly signaled and asked Chishui to enter a small bamboo building next to the waterfall.
This small bamboo building, I can also see its intentions, it is actually a hundred years of bamboo, I don't know how long it took to build.
The bamboo building is divided into two floors, and after a little look, Chi Shui knows that Chef Zheng is very well prepared, but all the things used by the girl's family are available, and they can be seen that they are the best of them.
I heard Chef Zheng say, "You can stay here, and if you need it, just send me a message, and I will send it to you." ”
Although he didn't see if Chishui was crazy, he heard that there was no warning before that Tianji Zhenren, and he didn't bother to ask, so he thought about everything carefully, hoping to make her live comfortably.
Chi Shui nodded, thanked Chef Zheng, and after the two chatted for a while, Chef Zheng said goodbye and left.
Chi Shui sent him out of the valley, and when he was gone, she stood for a few more moments, and then turned out a magic circle and placed it at the entrance outside the valley.
After arranging it, she immediately activated the magic circle, and she walked back to the valley, sitting at a corner of the eaves on the top of the bamboo building, looking at the environment in the valley, with some joy.
Although she didn't plan to stay here for long, the environment really appealed to her.
I saw that around the bamboo building, there were all kinds of flowers and plants, some of which were already in full bloom, attracting many bees and butterflies to come to collect nectar, which looked very lively. In the distance, there is still a large open space, I am afraid that Chef Zheng did not know what she liked, and deliberately left it.
And the little demon, as early as when she sent Chef Zheng away, she had already run to the garden to play.
At this moment, the black smoke escaped from the soul flute, and the black-clothed senior looked around and asked, "Just live here?" ”
Chishui nodded, "Let's stay for a while first!" What did the seniors think of this place? ”
"It's not bad, it can be seen that it is well managed, since you have decided to stay, then Benjun will also find a place to open a mansion." When the words fell, he saw others flash, jumped into the air, looked at several mountain walls, and then picked the opposite mountain wall of the small bamboo building, sacrificed his black dagger, brushed a few times, and opened a passage, and those chiseled stones were directly piled on the empty ground.
However, a quarter of an hour later, the black-clothed senior had already done it, and after the magic circle was placed, the person also entered the cave, and the stone wall returned to its original appearance.
Chishui was no stranger to this, she leaned back, slowly leaned on the slope of the top of the bamboo building, looked at the little white clouds in the blue sky, and slowly moved with the wind.
Her gaze drifted away, and soon she fell asleep.
The little demon was tired of playing, and looked in her direction, and his body was stunned, this is a situation that has never been seen before, because of the cultivators, cultivation is faster than sleeping, and the quality is better.
In the past ten years, it was the first time that it had seen Chishui actually sleeping, sleeping so comfortably and so satisfied.
It looked around, and could see that Chishui liked this place, and it liked it too, rarely, it didn't make any more noise, it only flew back to Chishui's head gently, and it was quiet.
A few days later, outside the valley, there was an unexpected person from Chishui.
She made a gesture and read the transmission note, she was surprised, she was just passing by here, and remembered that this was Chef Zheng's hometown for a while, and was curious about his situation, so she asked him to talk about it, and under his hospitality, she lived in this valley, but she didn't expect to meet the old man again.
With a flick of her sleeve, she opened the ban and let the man in.
Soon, the man had already come to the outside of the bamboo building, he paused for a moment, and only after Chishui made a sound did he step into the bamboo building.
Chi Shui sat on the main seat, and after inviting the man to sit down, he looked at him for a while before he said loudly: "I didn't expect to meet you here?" ”
She directly omitted the title, who is this person? It was He Chun who worked as an assistant to Chef Zheng in the Qianyun Gate, she used to be called a senior brother, but now he is still on the ninth floor, and she has already built a foundation, so she can no longer use her previous title.
I've heard Chef Zheng say that he left Qianyunmen and wanted to find another way to gain a future, but it seems that he still hasn't obtained Tsukidan, and now he is middle-aged, more burly, and his eyes are deep, and he is no longer the young man who could fight with her.
It's just that he heard the news from somewhere, and found here, and Chef Zheng never mentioned him to her.
Listening to He Chun's slight respect, he said loudly: "Because I heard that there was a girl in black from Gong Zheng's Mansion, I guessed that it might be you, so I came to meet you." ”
Chi Shui made him a cup of spiritual tea, transported it to him, and took a sip of it himself, hearing what he said, Chi Shui raised his eyebrows lightly, is it that simple? She said lightly: "I came back from my travels, and I heard that you have left Qianyunmen, I don't know how you have been all these years?" ”
He Chun's eyes quickly glanced at Chishui, lowered his head, and replied: "I have traveled abroad for a few years, and because I heard Chef Zheng talk about his hometown, I came to take a look, but I didn't expect that he had already succeeded in building a foundation. ”
Speaking of this, he said with envy, and then laughed at himself: "And I am still staying at the ninth layer, if I want to obtain the foundation of the Zhuji Dan, I am afraid it will be difficult!" ”
Chi Shui said lightly: "This Zhuji Dan is already precious and abnormal, outside, I'm afraid it is even more difficult to find, you are also clear about the situation in the previous gate, I also went to the Yellow Order Secret Realm, and I only got one, and Yang Lan, when I left the Thousand Cloud Gate, I also planned to go to the Yellow Order Secret Realm, and I don't know what happened to her now." ”
She wanted to change the topic, but obviously didn't succeed, so she heard He Chun say: "I don't know how Chef Zheng got the foundation building pill, but he was able to build the foundation successfully, it's really lucky." ”
Obviously, he didn't care about whether Yang Lan could return from the Yellow Order Secret Realm.
Seeing this, Chi Shui didn't mention it anymore, but his face showed surprise, "I was also very surprised, I didn't expect that when I saw Chef Zheng again, he had already built a successful foundation, I'm afraid there would be some adventures!" ”
When He Chun heard this, his gaze quickly swept over Chishui and replied, "It's possible!" It's just that no matter how I asked him before, he always didn't want to talk about it, and I didn't know. ”
"Oh? I didn't ask about that. Chi Shui said lightly. Her face didn't change, she knew, she didn't need to ask.
He Chun couldn't see anything on her face, but he didn't want to stop there, and a trace of unwillingness flashed on his face.
Seeing this, Chi Shui looked at him in surprise, "You don't think that Tsukidan was given to Chef Zheng by me, right?" ”
Now that it has been clarified, He Chun's gaze redirected to Chishui, wanting to see a hint from her face, but where can it, Chishui is now getting more and more experienced, and his face is slightly surprised, and there is nothing else.
He Chun chatted a few more words, but when he couldn't ask anything else, he was finally unwilling to leave.
Chi Shui looked at his back and was silent. She has Tsukidan, but there is no such thing in the world as a matter of not getting something for nothing, and like Yang Lan, she has no reason to give Tsukidan to him.
