Chapter 8: Alone (2)

On the way to Qingshan, I didn't see Jiu'er.

At this time, the green mountains have been wet with rain, but they did not immediately go back to the room to change clothes, above the main hall, the heads of the four gardens of Shengdong Garden, Qingnan Garden, Huixi Garden, and Zhenbei Garden are all sitting on the spiritual wood chair, there is a seat above the four of them, this seat looks much more exquisite than their seat, the workmanship is much more exquisite, the handle is carved with a pair of golden dragons, with a spirit stone in the mouth, this golden dragon is carved very finely in every place, especially the pair of eyes, it looks very majestic, even if it is just a carving, it also makes people dare not violate. There was a fox demon on the back, but it was obviously a troubled fox demon, but its eyes looked pitiful.

This chair was customized by the real person in charge, and the meaning of it was incomprehensible to everyone.

Although some disciples asked him, the real person in charge just looked at the chair quietly and did not answer.

Now this chair is empty, and the real person in charge is still in retreat and cultivating, so no one dares to disturb him.

Cultivating Qian's expression was solemn, he looked at the green mountains that were still dripping rain, and asked, "What you said just now is all true?"

Qingshan's face turned pale, and he looked at the masters and uncles present and hurriedly said, "Everything is true." ”

"How could it be. At this time, there was another person in the main hall whose face was even more ugly than Qingshan's, and that was the Yuanxu Dao Chief, who looked at the Dao Masters and said, "He obviously fell for my trick, and he can still live until now?"

Ruo Su Dao Chang of Zhenbei Yuan was very calm, and said: "Xiang Shen is the king of the demon world after all, and his strength must be extraordinary, if I say, it must be above the senior brother of Yuanxu, so I will apply to the head of the sect to take that scourge back then, but I didn't expect that the head insisted on letting the senior brother of Yuanxu go, it seems that this time the head of the sect miscalculated." ”

"You..."Yuan Xuan Dao Chang heard the meaning of Ruo Su Dao's long words, although at first glance, it sounded like he was blaming the head of the family for misemploying people, but he pondered carefully, the meaning of these words was that he was incompetent!

Ruo Su Dao Chang is a woman, and her True Beiyuan is also full of female disciples, not to mention their extraordinary skills, and their tempers are the same as her, very weird.

Although she is not confused, her skin is as white as snow, her lips are as red as cherries, and her hair is like ink, but her pair of Danfeng eyes look mean, especially the cold eyes, which are always a little intimidating.

Daoist Mo Yu of Qingnanyuan is a good old man, always doing peacemakers, at this time he immediately smiled, looked at Daoist Ruosu and said: "Senior sister, our Dao is indeed not as deep as yours, but Senior Brother Yuanxu didn't deliberately let go of that scourge, and now he is also very annoyed, it is better to think about it now, how to catch that scourge." ”

Yuanxu Daoist couldn't hear this, so he snorted and said, "Last time, I let Xiang Shen escape in order to save people, and now I will go to Mingpeng Village and arrest Xiang Shen back." ”

Cultivator Qian let out a long breath, looked at Qingshan and said, "You have also worked very hard to go down the mountain this time, hurry back to your room and rest." ”

"Yes. Qingshan retreated, sighed after exiting the main hall, and then walked towards Huixi Garden.

He wanted to tell Ye Jiangyuan about these things.

At this time, Ye Jiangyuan was lying on the bed drinking the decoction, he didn't know what was wrong, he suddenly had a high fever last night, and fainted directly, but the senior brothers carried him into the room. Originally, I had taken three bowls of decoction since last night, and the fever should have subsided, but it didn't.

Qingshan went to Huixi Garden, and when he pushed the door, he saw that these brothers and sisters were practicing diligently, but Ye Jiangyuan was not seen from these people.

Feng Bai, who was leading the disciples to practice, saw Qingshan, looked at him with disgust, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Each garden has a senior brother, and Qingshan's cultivation is slightly better, and the Yuanxu Daoist always follows Fengbai and says: "Look at Qingshan, who is also a senior brother in the garden, why is the gap so big..."

Over time, Feng Bai disliked him, and he didn't even call him a senior brother.

Aoyama didn't care about this, so he left it to him.

"Senior Brother Fengbai, where is Jiang Yuan, why haven't I seen him?"

"In the room, I suddenly fainted with a fever yesterday, you came to see him, right?" Feng Bai thought that Qingshan came after learning the news of Jiang Yuan's illness, and Qingshan didn't want to tell Feng Bai what happened in Mingpeng Village yesterday, and after thanking him, he ran away.

Feng Bai glared, then looked at the juniors who had stopped and shouted loudly: "Hurry up and practice!

Qingshan still didn't pay attention to it, and went directly into the room, looked at Jiang Yuan with a haggard face, and asked anxiously: "I ask you a question, you have to tell me truthfully." ”

Qingshan's sudden arrival made Jiang Yuan a little surprised, and looking at him, it didn't look like he had come to visit him.

"Senior Brother Qingshan, did something happen suddenly, why do you seem to be in such a hurry?"

"You answer me first, are you called Ye Yijiang?"

Since he went up the mountain, no one has called him Ye Yijiang, and this name is only buried deep in his heart.

"Indeed, before going up the mountain, my name was Ye Yijiang, and I never mentioned it to anyone, how did Senior Brother Qingshan know?"

Although he already knew the answer, it still surprised Qingshan when he said it from Jiang Yuan's mouth, but after that, it was sad.

"Well, you're answering me a question. Qingshan thought of the deceased Ye Neng and the missing Jiu'er, and asked, "Why have you never returned home all these years?"

Jiang Yuan smiled stupidly and said: "Senior Brother Qingshan, you also know, I applied to go down the mountain, but I was stopped by the master, saying that I am not qualified to go down the mountain, and we have so many disciples, he agreed that I should go down the mountain alone to visit my family, then other disciples will also apply to go down the mountain to visit my family, the master said, when the time comes, he will naturally let me go down the mountain." ”

"But I remember that you are enough, your cultivation has been..."

"That's it, it's useless to say this, you go and apply to the head of the mountain now, it's time to wait. ”

Jiang Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't understand at all, why was Senior Brother Qingshan so interested in his family affairs today?

"Senior Brother Qingshan, I heard Senior Brother Fengbai say that your calamity is coming, so you let you go down the mountain to cross the calamity, why did you suddenly come back?

Qingshan took a deep breath and held Jiang Yuan's hand tightly, for fear that what he was going to say later would make Jiang Yuan emotional.

"I went down the mountain and met your sister Jiu'er, she said that your father was seriously ill, and I wanted to go to heal it, but I didn't expect that at night, the snake demon attacked, and when I was chasing a snake demon, another snake demon actually broke into your house. ”

At this point, Jiang Yuan's eyes were already red, and his hands couldn't help but clench hard, continuing to listen to what he didn't want to hear.

"Your father was killed by a snake demon in order to save your sister, and your sister is now missing. ”

"How so. Jiang Yuan lifted the quilt and quickly got off the ground, didn't even wear shoes, and ran straight out, Qingshan saw that something was wrong, picked up Jiang Yuan's shoes, and ran out.

The disciples who were still practicing watched Jiang Yuan run away in a hurry, their expressions were solemn and their eyes were red, they looked like they were about to cry, no matter how Feng Bai called him, Jiang Yuan was like he had lost his sense of hearing, and he didn't respond at all.

Feng Bai just wanted to chase after him, but when he saw Qingshan who had also hurriedly run out of the room, he stopped him and said angrily: "What's the matter with you? Why did you make my junior brother cry! What did you tell him!"

Faced with Feng Bai's questioning, Qingshan didn't have time to explain more, just said simply: "His family has died, I just told him, I will follow Jiang Yuan now, and you will report to your master." ”

Hearing this, Feng Bai immediately nodded and hurriedly said, "Then my junior brother will be handed over to you, and I will go to report to the master now." ”

"Good. ”

Qingshan Imperial Sword flew to chase after him, and Feng Bai ran towards the main hall, and the other disciples had no intention of practicing, and they all discussed it.

When he arrived at Mingpeng Village, Ye Jiangyuan was stunned.

The once prosperous streets are now desolate and uninhabited, and there is no longer the memory of the shouts of the hawkers, the greetings of the villagers...

"How can this be?" Jiang Yuan's pace quickened, he couldn't imagine that his father and sister had lived in such an empty village for so many years.

Jiang Yuan, whose brain was already blank, involuntarily walked in the direction of home, this road to home, even if he closed his eyes, he could walk.

The house is much more dilapidated than he remembers, his father is a diligent man, and if there is a small crack in the wall, it will be repaired immediately, but now this house looks extremely gray, cracks like spreading vines, and the windows and doors are no longer water chestnut, he remembered that Senior Brother Aoyama said that his father was seriously ill, if so, then his father must have been sick for many years, and sister Jiu'er, where will the house be repaired?

"The Basilisk. Jiang Yuan remembered that Qingshan said that there was a snake demon in the house, he immediately pushed open the door, and saw his father in a pool of blood on the ground, he ran over, held his father in his arms, put his trembling fingers in his father's middle of the person, and his breath was gone.

"Father, it's the child who is unfilial, and the child actually came back, and he didn't even see the last one. ”

Jiang Yuan was a little unbearable because of the pain of ten thousand arrows, he held his father in one hand and involuntarily covered his heart with the other, he couldn't stop crying there, he hated himself for not having talent, otherwise he could have reached the cultivation of going down the mountain as soon as possible, and this disaster could have been avoided.

Qingshan squatted in front of him as if he had seen through his thoughts, and said, "Senior brother, it's not your fault, it's the fault of senior brother, if I hadn't chased the first snake demon, the second snake demon wouldn't have taken advantage of it, I'm sorry for you." ”

Jiang Yuan's hand covering his heart was heavily placed on Qingshan's shoulder, he shook his head, gritted his teeth and said, "It's all the monster's fault, I want to kill all the demons in the world!"
