Chapter 3: The Girl's Choice
A nameless monster at the top of the food chain
"Hey, little sister, you are really, I told you, after dinner, I will talk to my father about your engagement with Xingtong, you don't listen, the second aunt is still at the dinner table, how can my father say some things?"
On the mountain road between Qicun Town and Yaoshan, the young girl in the pink dress frowned at the twilight rain, her beautiful face was full of blame, and she taught the girl next to her softly.
Qi Wu, who was wearing a fiery red dress, was like a powder keg ignited, and kicked the gravel in front of her in all directions with a vent, straightening her beautiful legs and swinging, bringing up the hunting wind, and hummed: "If it wasn't for Qi Ying's bastard teasing me, how could I have a sudden attack?"
Second aunt?
That isn't our aunt!"
"Be quiet, don't talk nonsense!"
Qi Duyu hurriedly scolded.
The red-haired girl snorted and said no more.
Qi Duyu didn't say anything, and continued to walk with Qi Wu in the direction of Medicine Mountain, but he felt a little bitter in his heart.
Because Qin Ying is indeed not a good thing. She was also harmed several times by Qi Ying's stinky woman, that woman was cruel and cunning, and would not leave a trace of control for others, and he was also a person who carried a person and died.
Qi Duyu's eyes were full of bitterness, and he sighed softly in his heart, and said with a smile: "Daddy and Third Uncle are both in Yaoshan, and it is inconvenient to speak in the dining hall today, so my sister will accompany you to ask Daddy to ask clearly, and see what is going on with your marriage with Xingtong." ”
"There's no way I'm going to get engaged to that idiot anyway!"
As soon as the star pupil was mentioned, Qi Wu's little face turned cold again, "I don't know what Daddy thinks?"
That guy can't even speak, he doesn't have a soul, I'm tired of being alone with him for a moment, and I can't stand him at all!"
"I know, my sister naturally doesn't want to see you with him, don't worry, my sister will definitely be on your side. ”
Qi Duyu smiled softly and comforted softly.
The two sisters were like two elves, talking softly as they walked in the direction of the medicine mountain.
After walking for a while, just as they were about to go up the mountain, suddenly, the two sisters stopped and looked at the star pupil who came out of the cave in Yaoshan together.
It was getting dark, and as usual, the star pupils left the cave.
A distance apart, he came towards the two sisters head-on, his expression was still empty and blank, his eyes were forever scattered and out of focus, as if he hadn't seen the two sisters coming at all.
"Five years is like a day, running to the Yaoshan mine every day, is this fool a mouse?"
Usually Qi Wu turns a blind eye when she sees him, and when he is air, she can't talk about disgust, but today, when she sees Xingtong, she feels that her heart is on fire, and her tone is naturally impossible to be friendly.
"What are you mad at at him?
He doesn't know anything, hey, he's actually quite pitiful, and now that even his grandfather has died, he is left to live a life in a mess.
We pray for the village, and we only care about his two meals in the morning and evening, and ignore him for other things......"
Looking at the star pupil from afar, Qi Duyu shook his head lightly and said sympathetically.
"I, I also know that it has nothing to do with him, it's just that I can't help but be angry just by looking at him......" Qi Wu said, a fifteen-year-old girl, it's not really vicious and ruthless, but she can't accept the facts.
At this moment, a white figure suddenly swept out of the forest on the side!
Although the head of the Qi Village who wore the pale demon mask saw that his two daughters were also there, he decided to explore the depth of the star's pupils because the discovery in the mine was too shocking.
"Ahh
In the exclamation of praying for the twilight rain and praying for the dance, praying for Chengye was like an evil ghost, and pounced fiercely at the star pupil who continued to walk.
Seeing the white-clothed figure rushing towards him, Xingtong's expression was still dazed, and even the big hand of Qi Chengye reached out from afar and pressed towards his chest, he still maintained the pace of mechanical walking.
The body did not stop, the expression on his face did not change abnormally, and he did not shoot to resist and counterattack.
"Bang!"
Qi Chengye pressed a palm on the chest of the star pupil, the figure of the star pupil suddenly retreated a few steps, and then stood firmly, he looked at Qi Chengye who was blocking the road in a daze, his eyes were confused, as if he was curious why this person wanted to attack him.
This hint of curiosity only lasted for a moment, and then he took another step, as if he had forgotten Qi Chengye's previous attack, and continued to stride forward.
"Who dares to spread wilderness on the territory of our prayer village?"
"Masked rats, you can't escape!"
The two sisters suddenly jumped up, their pretty faces were cold, and they rushed towards Qi Chengye together, and the two not weak spiritual power turmoil made the mountain wind suddenly howl.
In the middle of the mountain road, Qi Chengye turned his back to his two daughters who didn't know why, and looked at Xingtong with strange eyes......
Fifteen-year-old Star Pupil looked thin and thin, as if he was malnourished, however, under the bombardment of his previous palm, Star Pupil only took a few steps back, and did not fall under stress.
Although that blow didn't use a trace of spiritual power, Qi Chengye knew very well that the power of that blow was enough to make many martial artists in the early stage of refining solid fall to the ground!
According to what he just felt, there is no obvious spiritual power fluctuation in the star pupil's body to protect his chest, which means that the star pupil has no spiritual power in his body, then he is not a real martial artist.
But Xingtong stubbornly withstood a blow and didn't fall down!
This shows that the seemingly weak star pupils, under the thin body appearance, have an incredibly strong nature!
Is it just plain physical toughness?
The head of the Qi Village family was puzzled, and after a little hesitation, he suddenly shot again!
"Click!"
Qi Chengye's hand, the bones made a crisp sound, and the palm suddenly doubled!
A thin layer of green mist rose from his palm, and as his figure flickered, the green mist also swayed, like a cluster of burning green flames.
Lu Yan, a mortal-level spiritual technique, this is a kind of secret skill that Qi Chengye secretly cultivates, and it is rarely used in ordinary times, even his two biological daughters have never seen it.
Qi Chengye of the mid-congenital realm, using Yicheng's spiritual power, his palm was like a green flame burning, and he pressed towards the chest of the star pupil again.
"Shameless villain!"
"You dare!"
The sisters of Qi Village shouted in unison, but unfortunately there was still some distance from Qi Chengye, and they could only oppress verbally.
Qi Chengye had no distractions, his palm, which was twice as large, was surrounded by green flames, and he was close to the chest of the star pupil, and his eyes were fixed on the star pupil, wanting to see the unusual changes.
"Boom!"
A surging spiritual power, mixed with green flames, poured into the chest of the star pupil, and in this moment, in the empty eyes of the star pupil that seemed to never change, there seemed to be a silky cold electric light galloping.
Almost at the same time, a thunderous roar sounded in Qi Chengye's mind, which shook his heart.
At this moment, the Qicun sisters finally rushed over and wanted to attack him violently.
Qi Chengye didn't have time to carefully discern whether the thunder that suddenly burst out in his mind and the cold lightning in the eyes of the star pupil were his delusions, and seeing that his two daughters were about to kill him, he could only retreat with hatred.
Like a wisp of white smoke, he flickered a few times and lost his trace in the mountains and forests.
"Don't chase it!" Qi Dudu's eyes sparkled, and he stopped Qi Wu's movements, and said with a solemn face: "This person's retreating figure is like charm and electricity, it is definitely not a solid realm, and he is not something we can deal with." ”
Leaning down, she looked at the star pupil that had fallen on the stone ground, and a dark green handprint appeared on her chest after her clothes were shattered, and she frowned and said, "That person is terrible, it's really strange, why would he poison a fool?"
Could it be Grandpa Qinshan's former enemy?"
As she spoke, she reached out of her white jade hand, and pressed her crystal fingers on the injured part of the star pupil a few times like a dragonfly, and the doubts on Xiumei's face became even heavier, "That person didn't do his best at all, the spiritual power that poured into the star pupil's chest was very rare, and now it is gradually dissipating, it's really strange, if he wants to kill the star pupil, it shouldn't just be like this......"
Previously, Qi Chengye turned his back to the two sisters and shot at Xingtong, and there was still a gap between the two sisters and Xingtong, so the two girls didn't see a trace of abnormality on Xingtong's body, nor did they see Xingtong's eyes, and they didn't hear the thunder that only exploded in his mind.
"Pray for the twilight rain, pray for the dance, you carry the star pupil back, what is there to wait for me and your father to go back!"
On the medicine mountain, Qi Chengzhi suddenly appeared and shouted loudly.
"Third uncle, let's ......" Qi Wu shouted.
"I know, a man in white attacked the star pupil, we also saw it, your father has gone to chase it, you two take the star pupil back first, so as not to have any more accidents. Qi Chengzhi said coveredly.
When Qi Duyu heard him say this, she didn't think much about it, seeing that Xingtong had fainted, she had no better way but to bend over and carry Xingtong on her back, "Hmm, this guy is so heavy!"
The graceful sister lifted the star pupils on her back, her beautiful legs suddenly trembled, and her bright eyes showed a look of surprise.
"Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? This fool is so thin, how can he make you feel heavy?" Qi Wu pouted, just joking with her sister.
Qi Duyu didn't explain, she turned her head to look at the young man lying on her fragrant shoulder, and looked at the face that looked surprisingly handsome after her eyes were closed, and she was stunned for a while.
It's strange that this guy looks so good when he closes his eyes......
"Daddy once said that only an extremely strong person who has tempered his body, the kind of martial artist who has refined his skin, muscles, fibers, bones, and viscera to the peak, will be many times heavier than ordinary people when his body is thin. ”
Seeing that she didn't answer, Qi Wu said disdainfully: "He's not even fluctuating spiritual power in his body, even if it's really heavy, it's because he hasn't digested what he eats, or he has something heavy on his body." ”
The prayer for twilight rain in a daze, I didn't think about it, but when I heard her say this, she suddenly reacted, looking at the young man on her shoulder, and her bright eyes gradually appeared with a look of surprise and confusion.
On the mountain of medicine.
After the head of the Qi Village took off his mask, he calmly explained his discovery in the cave and the two temptations to the star pupil.
"Big brother, you're not mistaken, right? The stone path has suddenly increased tenfold? How is this possible?"
Qi Chengzhi shook his head in disbelief and shouted, "Just with their grandfather and grandson, even if they don't work day and night, it's impossible to chisel so many stone roads?!"
"If, if Qin Shan is a powerful martial artist, and the true realm is around the Shattered Mirror, then do you think this is possible?" said the head of the Qi family solemnly.
"Ahh
Qi Chengzhi suddenly screamed, only to feel that his lips were dry, his eyes were furious, and his voice was hoarse: "Big brother, he, how could he reach such a high level of realm?"
If it's really a person of this level, what are you doing in our Qijia Town?"
"I can't think of anything else. ”
Qi Chengye's tone trembled, "Only a strong person who has reached that kind of transcendent realm has the ability to carve through so many stone paths in such a short time!"
Actually, I have been skeptical of the stars and ...... for a long time
Many juniors in the clan think that repairing mortal weapons is much easier than refining mortal weapons, but you should know that people who can successfully repair mortal weapons that others have refined are definitely much more skilled than the refiners themselves!"
"You mean?" Qi Chengzhi was shocked.
"Xinghe is by no means simple! Perhaps, even his death is just a cover-up ......"
The head of the Qi Village family gradually became clearer, "Now I think about Xinghe's illness and death, there are many suspicions, his cause is unknown, and he doesn't let us find someone to treat him, and the speed of death is very fast, before he died, he also told us to bury it in water, and after we threw his body into the river, we naturally couldn't continue to investigate......"
"Do you suspect him of faking his death?" Qi Chengzhi shouted.
"It's possible. The head of the Qi family nodded, "Grandpa is not simple, and the grandson is also strange, and nothing else can be determined now, but the seemingly weak body of the star pupil is extremely strong!"
"It seems that we will have to pay more attention to the star pupil in the future, your guess is very likely to be right, the withering of the medicinal mountain herb is very likely to be related to the star pupil. The head of the Qi Village said with a complicated expression.
......
"Sister, what do you say about the origin of the man in white? How could he attack a fool? This person is so shameless!"
"Who knows, I hope that my father and third uncle can capture him, our Qijia Town is so remote, and there are few superb martial artists coming over, it is indeed very strange. Qi Duyu frowned and frowned, clasping the legs of the star pupil on his back with both hands, and his eyes were strange.
The tall and graceful Qi Dusk Rain, who is two years older than the star pupil, is also taller than the star pupil at this time, and it is a solid late-stage realm, it stands to reason that carrying a thin star pupil should be extremely easy, but only she knows that she is actually a little struggling......
This made her heart more and more suspicious, but she didn't say much here, and teased the little sister next to her in a casual tone, "You girl didn't disappoint me, when the man in white attacked the star pupil, you immediately pursued it with me."
Hehe, I thought you would sit idly by, expecting the man in white to kill the star pupil, so that your troubles would be solved directly. ”
"Really, I'm dissatisfied with my father's approach, but I also know that it has nothing to do with this fool.
This fool is really pitiful, I'm not so vicious and shameless. Qi Wu said coquettishly.
The two sisters talked in crisp voices, getting closer and closer to Qijia Town, Qi Wu never paid attention to the star pupil from beginning to end, and Qi Duyu didn't look back again after looking at him at first, just cared about the conversation with the little sister and the rugged mountain road under his feet.
"Whew!"
Qi Duyu exhaled heavily, tiredly put the star pupil on the bed, and looked at the star pupil suspiciously with autumn-like eyes.
This is the stone house where the star pupil stays all year round, with a total of three rooms, one of which is empty and originally belonged to the star and the other is a dressing room.
In the village of Kei, such stone houses are very common, and most of the warriors of the village live in similar houses.
This stone room of the star pupil has only one stone table, two stone benches, plus a wooden bed, and there is no other furniture.
After Qi Duyu put down the star pupil, he first checked it carefully, and saw that the green flame on the star pupil's chest gradually disappeared, and then put the jade finger on his snort and stayed for a while, and found that he was breathing evenly and powerfully, so Qi Duyu put his mind at ease and said, "He should be fine, the injury on his chest should be fine in two days, let's go back first." ”
Qi Wu didn't want to stay here for a second, and immediately got up when she heard this, Qi Duyu quickly followed, and just before leaving the stone room, she looked back and looked deeply at the star pupils with her eyes closed.
......
"Xingtong is okay, right?" In the hall of Qi Village, the head of the Qi Village asked about his two daughters, and Qi Chengzhi was also on the side.
"The man in white didn't kill him today, and the spiritual power injected into the chest of the star pupil has almost dissipated, and it should be able to recover in two days. Qi Duyu replied, and then asked, "Daddy, have you fought with the man in white, can you see the identity of the other party?"
Qi Chengye shook his head, "If you don't catch up, the other party's realm should not be inferior to me, I also feel strange, I don't know why he did something to Xingtong." ”
"Daddy, when I came back with the star pupil today, I found ...... He's heavy, he's heavy. Pray for Dusk Rain to finally express the doubts in her heart.
"It's heavy, much heavier than ordinary people?" Qi Chengye's expression moved, and he obviously paid attention to it.
"It's more than five times heavier than ordinary people!" Qi Dusk Yujiao shouted.
"There's definitely something heavy about him. Qi Wu pouted.
"There may be something really heavy on him, but there is a difference between men and women, and I can't check it carefully on him.
Of course, there is another possibility...... But it's so unbelievable that I can't believe it myself. ”
Qi Duyu shook her head suspiciously.
The two brothers, Qi Chengye and Qi Chengzhi, glanced at each other, and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes, and their thoughts were focused on the second possibility that Qi Duyu said, and they did not answer for a while.
"Daddy, I won't marry that fool if I die! If you really insist, I will run away from home sooner or later, and I will never return to Qi Village!" At this moment, Qi Wu's suppressed anger finally broke out, his hands clenched into fists, and he glared at Qi Chengye like a little tigress.
Waving his hand, Qi Chengye said: "Naturally, I won't let you really marry Xingtong, but Xinghe is kind to me in Qicun, and I promised him to take care of Xingtong until he was seventeen years old." Well, you and Xingtong are just engaged and formal, and I will dissolve your marriage contract in two years, and you will have nothing to do with him. ”
"So that's the case, I'll just say, how could Daddy be so ruthless as to sacrifice his little sister's lifelong happiness. Qi Duyu smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, "You girl is relieved now, right?"
"It's not good to talk about the engagement!" Qi Wu snorted with a small face: "As soon as I get engaged, I have to endure other people's gossip, and I have to endure it for two whole years, I can't stand it, I won't be able to concentrate on my spiritual cultivation! If my realm stagnates in two years, don't blame me for not being angry!"
After saying that, the prayer dance was puffed up, and he ran away willfully.
As soon as this sentence came out, the expressions of the brothers Qi Chengye and Qi Chengzhi changed at the same time, and they were really hit in the sore spot.
The two brothers pinned too much hope on Qi Wu, and they both looked forward to relying on Qi Wu's super cultivation talent to help Qi Village turn over and complete their inner ideals.
All of this is based on the continuous breakthrough of Qi Wu, if Qi Wu can't enter the innate realm before the age of twenty, then all their efforts will be in vain.
The two brothers frowned and sighed, full of helplessness and bitterness.
Pray for Twilight to see everything in her eyes, she secretly struggled, and her heart welled up with pain.
After a long time, she suddenly said faintly: "Let me replace my little sister and get engaged to Xingtong, right?
Before the age of twenty, there should be no hope of stepping into the innate realm, little sister...... It will be the hope of the family, and I, as an elder sister, should take on a little more responsibility for the sake of the family and the little sister. ”
The two brothers didn't expect that Qi Duyu would take the initiative to bear it, and when they were surprised, the two of them also looked sour, and they also felt uncomfortable, and they didn't know what to say.
Qi Duyu smiled reluctantly, that smile made the two brothers more and more sad, and more and more embarrassed, "Daddy, third uncle, you don't have to feel embarrassed, after all, I am a little older than my little sister, and I can see better than her, I ...... I can bear it.
I know how hard it has been for you to make a lot of sacrifices for your family, and how hard it has been for you to endure, and I am no longer a child, and I should take on some responsibilities. ”
"Hey, I've wronged you. The corners of the eyes of the head of the village were moist, and he lowered his head and sighed: "It's all useless for my father." ”
"It has nothing to do with my father, I know that my father is also very uncomfortable, so I will ask my father to arrange everything. Qi Duyu asked softly in relief.
The two brothers sighed, and in this hall, the date of the engagement of the two brothers was set to pray for the rain and the star pupil, and the matter was confirmed.
......
On the second day, it rained heavily early in the morning, and Xingtong did not come to the Qicun dining hall for breakfast in the morning, but came to the cave of the medicine mountain in Qicun.
Star Hitomi walks on the mountain stone path leading to the mine.
At the turn of spring and summer, the weather is unpredictable, thunderstorms are intensive, and before you know it, the sky has become overcast, and the mountain wind is howling.
"Boom!"
In the thunder, lightning gradually loomed, like a dragon and snake floating in the sky, shaking its head and tail.
