Chapter 36: The "Goblin" Turmoil
Soon after Qingyun left, the small streets of the ancient town experienced a brief lull, but the calm was soon broken.
"Have you heard?" said a middle-aged woman, covering her mouth with her khaki hand for fear of being heard. "There's a fairy in town!" she said cautiously to the townspeople, with a look of secrecy on her face.
"What? really? There is no such thing in this world, don't make fun of me!" said a middle-aged man dressed in yellow with a look of disbelief.
"It's true, there are goblins in the world, and it actually destroyed the ancient temple in our town, and some people have witnessed it!" she added again, "If you don't believe it, you can go and see, now the ancient temple in the town has disappeared out of thin air, you say!
She raised her voice as she spoke, no longer cautious, obviously much bolder. This time, when passers-by heard this, they immediately came over to inquire about the situation. After a while, the crowd surrounded her three layers inside and three layers outside.
This matter has just begun to spread, and not many people know about it, so there are people watching.
"What the hell is going on?"
"I heard that two women were seen leaving the ancient temple, and there was a ...... behind them," she paused and said again, "followed by a fairy!"
"Who are those two women, and what do they look like?"
"What do goblins look like?"
"It is said that one is dressed in black and the other is dressed in green clothes, both are born beautiful as flowers, and they are young women......"
"That goblin is ......"
The man said earnestly, and the townsfolk who heard it were amazed.
Word spreads at a rapid pace, curiosity is something that everyone has, and keeping one's own secrets is extremely difficult for anyone. Not to mention some rustic townspeople.
In a corner of the old town, an old cottage is hidden in a corner. A few cool breezes blew, and a few yellow fallen leaves fell helplessly.
On the dark brown ancient bed, Aunt Lan was lying on the bed, her eyes were closed, and her pale face appeared a quiet and beautiful appearance, which was also mixed with the feeling of vicissitudes.
Qing Yun was taking care of Aunt Lan on the side, her movements were meticulous, skillful and smooth. If someone is around, they may be surprised by the smooth movement.
The old woman had already gone out to ask for a doctor, and Qingyun didn't know the old woman's name, but just called her an old woman.
The light of the early morning gradually deflected into the middle of the day, Qing Yun sat on the edge of the bed and closed her eyes to feel the free aura in the air. However, even so, she still failed to open the locked Spiritual Gate.
In her body, the spirit que was still like a phantom, and if it wasn't for the aura feeling, she wouldn't even be able to detect its existence. Although it has not yet been opened, the absorption of the aura is not fake, and there is even a faint aura on the illusory appearance of the spirit.
It's a pity! If you don't open the spiritual gate, you can't become a spiritual cultivator!
Cultivation is too difficult, and in this vast land, there are very few people who can really become spiritual cultivators, and they are very rare.
"What is wrong, or is it because I am still young in my cultivation time, and I am too anxious after all......" Qingyun's eyes flashed with a few strange looks. She had only been cultivating for more than three months since she had the cultivation method, and the time was too short.
She clenched her fists with an unwilling look, and at this time, Xiao Cao Yeqing also poked out a few leaves to observe the surrounding environment, and cautiously came out.
"There shouldn't be anyone!" he said crisply. The green leaves swayed in all directions, and he was observing his surroundings.
Before he finished speaking, a small hand fell into the air, and he squeezed him back at once, "Let's stop a little!" Qing Yun covered Ye Qing and didn't recognize him.
"It's better not to come out, what if something happens? I guess I'll be frightened when someone sees you like this! Not everyone is so bold. Qingyun said lightly, a little uneasiness flashed in her color.
"Aunt Lan said, 'We should leave quickly', and if we stay in Fuhui Ancient Town like this, I'm afraid something will happen. Ye Qing stood up and said solemnly.
"But, Aunt Lan, she ......" Qingyun turned her head to look at Aunt Lan lying on the bed, "Let's wait a few more days! We've only been off for four days, and we're almost in Qingfeng City." It's not bad these days, let's set off when Aunt Lan is better. Qingyun said helplessly, but more concerned.
"There shouldn't be an accident!" Qingyun said weakly, but there was uncertainty in her words. Xiaocao also sighed when she saw this appearance, but she didn't say anything after all.
"I hope so. Xiaocao muttered to herself, lowered her head and returned to the bag, continuing to silently absorb the little aura from the air.
Qing Yun also closed her eyes again, sat quietly on the edge of the bed, and began to cultivate anew. The old house was silent again, but it was not at all quiet outside.
Originally, there were still a few immortal masters in the ancient town, but with the changes in the ancient temple, almost all of them have left, but there is still one person left. He is a gray-haired old man, and he is not far from the limit. Although such a big event happened in the ancient town, he was always unwilling to leave. Guzhen is his hometown, and he is willing to spend his last days protecting his homeland.
"Immortal Master, please catch the demons and protect the villagers!" an equally old man stood outside the door and shouted.
His face was full of sorrow, "The ancient temple collapsed, the immortal masters left, and now you are left alone." There are demons in the town again, who will save us!"
The people not far away gradually gathered, and they also followed the old man and shouted loudly, hoping to get the immortal master to get rid of the "goblin".
The immortal master sighed and listened helplessly to the growing pleading outside the door. "How could this matter be something that I, a little cultivator, could interfere with. Alas!" he sighed again.
He had seen the great power of Tongtian that appeared in the ancient temple, but he had only barely opened the spiritual gate when he cultivated to old age. How to manage this.
"That's it! Anyway, I don't have much time, so I might as well just do one last thing for the villagers." He thought to himself, and finally sighed again.
With that, he gradually walked out of the door and opened the dusty door. As soon as the door opened, a large group of townspeople surrounded and shouted: "Ask the immortal master for mercy and save our ancient town!"
"I won't let you go!, let's talk about the situation first!" said the immortal master unhurriedly.
"I'll start with ......"
"And ......"
"No! it should be ......"
......
The scene was noisy, and the immortal master frowned when he heard it. One person and one statement, it is impossible to distinguish the truth from the false, and it also makes people feel more irritable.
"Stop for a moment! Fairies are harmful?" said the fairy master with a gloomy face.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and it took a while to come back to their senses. One of them squeaked and said, "No ......"
"I see. The immortal master thought to himself, and then said, "You guys should leave first! I will solve this matter later, don't worry about it!"
After that, everyone was very grateful, and then gradually left, and finally only the old immortal master stood in front of the door, looking at the center of the ancient town in a daze.
