Chapter 5: Hell in the Day
Xu Changqing can see that Yun Xiaoyao is just wishful thinking for Zhao Qian'er, Xu Changqing feels quite guilty after he leaves, if he hadn't helped him for a while, which made Yun Xiaoyao ugly in front of him, and felt ashamed of Yun Xiaoyao, if he had the opportunity to see him again, Xu Changqing felt that he still needed to accompany him.
Xu Changqing didn't go out in the room for several days, and when he heard the noise outside, the sound of firecrackers, and the endless sound of grief, Xu Changqing opened the door and walked out. Seeing that the people were busy, the white lantern was hung high in front of the vermilion lacquer gate, and the white couplet was pasted on the door, which turned out to be Master Zhao who had passed away.
Zhao Qian'er knelt in front of Master Zhao's coffin, although her face was still cold, her eyes were full of tears, what made Zhao Qian'er's appearance look so indifferent and she didn't like words? Is it the same as Xu Changqing who has lost her parents since she was a child? Perhaps only she can understand how lonely this is.
Zhao Qian'er is busy with her grandfather's posthumous affairs, and now the grandfather she is most concerned about has also left her, she has no worries in this world, and she will leave this home that makes her experience grief again and again.
In front of the vermilion gate, Wuwuzi and Xu Changqing were about to leave Nanling City and return to the secluded valley, and Zhao Qian'er was also about to rush back to Xuanfeng Gate.
"Thank you seniors for taking care of grandpa these days, I'm going to rush back to Xuanfeng Gate, and I'm not far away. ”
While speaking, Zhao Qian'er glanced at Xu Changqing out of the corner of her eye, since Yun Xiaoyao was refused to leave that day, Zhao Qian'er hadn't seen Xu Changqing, every time she was free, she always wanted to go to him a few times, and she couldn't say why. Zhao Qian'er and Xu Changqing have been getting along for more than half a month, although they speak coldly to him, but they don't hate him, on the contrary, she always feels that there are some similarities with Xu Changqing, and Zhao Qian'er can't say what it is, in short, Xu Changqing can always attract her attention. Acquaintance, this time I am afraid that there will be no intersection, she felt a little more lost in her heart, she waited for Xu Changqing to have something to say, but he never said a word.
Seeing Xu Changqing and Wuwuzi walking farther and farther, her snort intensified, her heart contracted tightly, and she felt a little reluctant in her heart. She retracted her gaze, put aside her distracting thoughts, glanced back at the mansion where she had lived, and then stepped on the Xuanbing Sword and galloped away.
Xu Changqing looked at the blue light galloping away in the distance, he didn't know before, he had already asked Zhao Qian'er, this is the sword flying technique, during this time, he met Zhao Qian'er and Yun Xiaoyao, two friends, but in the end, they went their separate ways. He went back to the secluded valley this time, and he didn't know if there would be a chance to go out in the future, maybe they would see each other indefinitely, a few years later, these two friends would probably have forgotten him, thinking of this, Xu Changqing couldn't help but feel helpless.
Sanssouci taught Xu Changqing the Taoist method, which belongs to free-range, unless Xu Changqing asks him, he basically doesn't ask, he has never seen Sanssanzi perform this sword flying technique.
"Master, you can also use the sword flying technique! it's better for us to go back, otherwise it will be a waste of time!"
Since Sanssouci left the Xuanfeng Gate eighteen years ago, his Dao method has been abandoned for eighteen years, and he will not use it unless he has to.
"Don't you really want to come out and see it? Wouldn't it be nice to enjoy the scenery along the way. ”
Xu Changqing was poured cold water, and he was really unhappy.
"I haven't seen it all when I came, it's far worse than Nanling City. ”
Sanssouci didn't want to deal with him, so she quickened her pace.
Xu Changqing was unrelenting, since Wuwu Zi didn't want the sword to fly, then the professor should always give him it, and he chased after him.
"Master, then you can teach me the art of flying with Edgeworth!"
How did Xu Changqing know that the Imperial Sword Flying Technique was not something that could be learned if he wanted to, and his Dao was not enough to cultivate.
"When you can make the Phantom Sword into three qi swords, the teacher will naturally teach you. ”
Xu Changqing has only cultivated two qi swords so far, and it is even more difficult to break through in the back, this will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey Ma Yue, he can't help but be a little disappointed, there are few words along the way, even Qing Ling He no longer cares, Qing Ling Qi returned to the secluded valley in advance.
After a day, the two arrived at Dengfeng City, it was also dark, so they could only find an inn to eat something to rest for a night, and walked on the streets of Dengfeng City, and found that the doors of every household were closed, and the streets were empty, and it was very deserted, which was very strange.
The two looked for several inns with the door locked and stopped business, but fortunately, in the end, they still found an inn called "Yuexin", the innkeeper was about to close, Xu Changqing hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"Boss, do you have a room. ”
Seeing a guest coming to the door, the boss looked at the visitor, and then let the two enter the door, but they didn't greet each other with a smile.
"How many rooms do you need for the two guest officers?"
Sanssouci asked for a room, ordered a few dishes by the way, and after paying the money, the two found a place to sit down, and after a while, the boss brought the food, and Sanssouci asked the boss about the matter.
"Boss, it's just dark, why is Ascending City so deserted. ”
The boss's expression was unnatural, and there seemed to be fear on his face.
"I don't think the two guest officers are locals, so I won't tell you that there are demons here at night, so remember to close the windows and doors when you sleep. ”
Sanssouci frowned, feeling that something was wrong.
"Do you know what kind of demon it is?"
"I don't know what kind of demon, I just know that several people have disappeared, and they should have been captured by demons. After the boss finished speaking, his eyes moved to Xu Changqing and he specially told him. "Young man, especially you, don't open the window or door if you hear anything at night. ”
With his master carefree, Xu Changqing was not worried at all.
"Boss, don't worry, if that demon dares to appear, my master will definitely let it come and go. ”
The boss looked disbelieving, even the disciples of Xuanfeng Sect couldn't do anything about it, what magical powers could this old man in front of him have.
"I heard that the demon is very good, and the disciples of the Xuanfeng Sect have been looking for a few days on the mountain and haven't found it, so it's better to be careful. ”
Worry-free listened to the boss say that the demon was amazing, and couldn't help but ask a few more words.
"Who are the missing people? ”
The boss let out a sigh, as if feeling sorry for the missing man.
"The missing people are all seventeen or eighteen years old! ”
This Dengfeng City belongs to the realm guarded by the Xuanfeng Gate, and when they entered the city, they did not see a single Xuanfeng Gate disciple guarding it.
"Didn't you say that the disciples of the Xuanfeng Sect also came, why didn't they stay in the city?"
The boss pointed to the location of the mountain behind him.
"They should still be looking for that demon in the mountains. ”
Now that Xuanfengmen had received the news and sent his disciples to come, Wufuzi was relieved, and without asking any more, the two of them had a good meal and went upstairs to rest.
In the dead of night, Xu Changqing didn't listen to the boss's instructions, he opened the window door, the window door was facing the mountain-climbing mountain in the distance, the mountain was lit up with dots of light, it should be the Xuanfeng Sect disciple looking for the demon.
"Master, what do you say this demon is doing to catch people!"
Wuwuzi naturally knows that this demon catches people, there are only two situations, one is to take a fancy to someone and want to stay with him, and the second is to suck away people's essence and blood to improve demon arts, and now that a disciple of Xuanfeng Sect is here, he doesn't need to interfere.
"Don't ask, rest early, you still need to hurry tomorrow. ”
Although Xu Changqing didn't understand that this demon had captured several people, Wuwuzi was indifferent, but he felt the most pain in his bones, and he had an idea and came up with a solution.
"Master, Master, I have a good idea, I will definitely catch that demon. ”
Wuwuzi found that Xu Changqing was now interested in everything since he went to Nanling City with him, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad, so he wanted to discourage him from his enthusiasm, so as not to save his life in the future.
"Boy, if you meddle too much, don't think I'll take you out in the future. ”
Originally, Xu Changqing thought again, since the demon was caught by a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, which was exactly the same age as him, he planned to lure the demon to the bait and let Wuwuzi take the opportunity to capture him alive. Let's not say that Wuwu Zitong disagrees, now that the disciples of Xuanfeng Sect have come, no matter how capable the demon is, it is impossible to commit a crime against the wind, it is conceivable that Xu Changqing's idea is too much, and his ambition to kill demons and demons has been dispelled, and Xu Changqing can only sleep obediently.
Late at night, Xu Changqing, who was asleep, vaguely heard a girl's call.
"Changqing, Changqing, come here!"
Xu Changqing slowly opened his eyes, he felt that the girl's voice was very familiar, the voice seemed to come from outside the window, he subconsciously opened the window, and saw a girl floating in the air in front of him, it was Bai Xiaoxi, the person he had been missing.
"Xiaoxi is really you!"
The girl smiled sweetly and beckoned to Xu Changqing.
"Changqing, come here!"
Xu Changqing felt a little hazy in front of him, as if he had lost his mind, he wanted to walk to Bai Xiaoxi's side, and went over the window, but his body did not fall, but floated in mid-air, opposite Bai Xiaoxi.
"Xiaoxi, I miss you so much!"
Bai Xiaoxi smiled at Xu Changqing and stretched out her hand to pull him.
"Changqing, I miss you too, come with me!"
Just as Xu Changqing stretched out his hand to hold Bai Xiaoxi, a scolding came.
"Demon, die!"
It was a scolding from Sanssouci that made Xu Changqing wake up from a dream, and after suddenly realizing it, he realized that it was an illusion, and he was caught in the demon's demonic art, at this time, Xu Changqing's body suspended in mid-air fell violently, thanks to some Taoism, his body barely landed safely, and at this time Xu Changqing looked again, and Sanssouci was chasing the demon in the distance.
Xu Changqing chased in the direction of Sanssouci chasing, there were many peaks around Dengfeng Mountain, stretching for hundreds of miles, I don't know how long he ran, after entering a dense forest, he knew that he had lost his direction, Sanssouci and the demon did not know where to go, and there was no trace of the disciples of Xuanfeng Gate, only the "squeak" insect chirping was endless, and a few beast roars came from time to time.
Xu Changqing couldn't help but be a little scared in his heart, looking around, for fear that something would come out of nowhere, and the long sword in his hand was clenched tightly. The clear moonlight barely illuminated the mountain road under his feet, and Xu Changqing turned around but couldn't find his way back.
