Chapter 19: Coax her

The two met for the first time in the Cold War.

Speaking of which, Huo Rendong is usually very weak and easy to talk, and has never blushed with anyone. Although Qi Ci has a domineering personality, his nature is not bad, and he is a "master uncle" who has cultivated to a high level of more than 100 years, so he is naturally too lazy to worry about juniors.

It stands to reason that these two people will not quarrel, but for three days, they ignored no one and no one let go.

Huo Rendong had just reached the first level of qi refining, and she didn't know how to resist the sword, she used a branch as a crutch, and walked in the mountains and forests with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

At the foot of the mountain is a field of wheat, and beyond this forest you can see a large city, and the chariots and horses are very luxuriant.

Huo Rendong determined the route, raised his feet and continued to move forward, not caring about the hard work at all.

Not far behind her, Qi Ci sat on her knees on a tree, pursed her lips with an ugly expression.

"It's not a donkey, how can you be stubborn like this."

"Who are you Bai Cui'e, and it's worth gambling with me?"

More importantly, is his status in her heart no better than that of a lonely ghost?

The inexplicable desire to win or lose, since Huo Rendong didn't speak, he didn't want to take the initiative to talk.

Once, he lit a fire and found a place to stay. The woman did the opposite, preferring to practice the fire technique eight hundred times herself, light a handful of fires, and shiver in the winter night, rather than return to him to rest.

Qi Ci gritted his teeth.

Ok, good, good! Your!

It turns out that without Qi Ci's help, Huo Rendong wants to live alone in the deep mountains and old forests.

She was afraid of the danger that would arise at any time, and she couldn't sleep at all when she was alone.

Jackals, tigers and leopards, snakes, insects, rats and ants in the woods, elusive bandits and rogues, or assassins sent by Autumnwater.

Danger was always around, but someone once held up a big umbrella for her to keep her safe.

However, after three days of cold war, Huo Rongdong began to look tired, and now there is obvious darkness.

Of course, Qi Ci also saw it, but the girls gritted their teeth and endured it, no matter how awkward he was, he didn't want to take the initiative to speak.

On the morning of the fourth day, Huo Rongdong finally found his way down the mountain. When she saw the crooked stone official road in front of her, she was overjoyed and couldn't help but speed up her pace.

As a result, because it had just rained, the road was covered with muddy water, and the gravel under her feet slipped, and she lost her balance and fell forward.

"Ahh

Huo Rongdong exclaimed in a short exclamation, and subconsciously stretched out his arms.

It's just that before she fell to the ground, someone appeared like lightning and caught her at once.

He wrapped one arm around her shoulders and the other around her waist, easily and firmly supporting her body.

Huo Rongdong looked at the sharp small stone on the ground, and his heart palpitated, if he fell, he would cut his skin. She looked at the man who was holding her, who looked ahead and glanced over when she looked up.

Qi Ci was sullen and reluctant to speak: "Is the anger gone?" ”

Seeing that she was silent, he snorted: "If you don't lose your anger, I will use the spirit conjuring method to recruit that Bai Cui'e back to accompany you." ”

Qi Ci had never told a lie, and when Huo Rendong heard that it was not good, he subconsciously grabbed a strand of white hair dangling on his chest.

"Childe can't!"

After a while, facing his playful eyes, Huo Rendong came back to his senses.

"Wait, Childe is saying that Bai Cui'e has no soul to fly away?"

Qi Ci pouted: "When did I say that, it was you who crowned me with a capital crime without saying a word." ”

Huo Rongdong opened his mouth wide: "Then why didn't you tell me?" ”

"Someone doesn't even want to talk to me, and wants to wander the world alone, how can I have a chance to explain?"

Qi Ci didn't look at her, and said angrily, "It turns out that I am such a fierce and evil person in your heart, and I will disagree with people and make people disappear." ”

Huo Rendong was even more embarrassed, and apologized again and again.

"It's not like that...... It's just that I was in a hurry at the time, and when I saw the thunder punishment sword come out, I thought there was no room for maneuver. Childe is a great good person in my heart, a great good person! ”

Qi Ci looked at the strand of hair that she was still holding in her palm, and her eyes were slightly curved: "Oh." ”

Huo Rendong, who realized what he had done, blushed to the base of his neck. She lowered her head, realizing that the posture maintained by the two was too close, and she was almost lying in Qi Ci's arms, so she decisively broke away from his arm and jumped to the ground.

Qi Ci didn't react, he threw the scattered white hair on his chest behind his shoulder, and saw that Huo Rendong had fled down the mountain as if he had fled, and he didn't follow slowly.

This time there was a misunderstanding, although the two were still separated by some distance, but they were not deliberately estranged, and occasionally looked at each other and smiled and said a few words, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

At the foot of the mountain is a small city, with more high brick walls than ordinary towns, and a huge stone plaque is hung on the gatehouse, with the word "Qingcheng" written on it.

The official road leading from the surrounding town leads to the big city, and there are many armoured soldiers patrolling the road.

Originally, there were many ordinary people queuing up to enter the city, but seeing that the two of them were extraordinary in appearance and bearing, they gave way to the city.

Huo Rongdong bowed generously to the crowd, and after walking a short distance, he saw a soldier escorting a group of prisoners past.

The prisoners were men and women, old and young, and the first old man was an old man with a large waist and a fat brain, and although he was wearing shackles and shackles, he could still see his wealth and wealth from his well-maintained white skin.

These people have never seen each other, but Huo Rongdong just can't take his eyes off.

Qi Ci noticed: "What? ”

She shook her head, suspicious: "It's nothing, it just feels a little familiar." ”

Along the way, from time to time, ordinary people threw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at the prisoners, and in this chaotic situation, the soldiers escorted several prisoner vans out of the city, not knowing where to go.

Huo Nindong walked a street in the direction the prisoner had come, and found a large mansion that had been sealed. There were also many soldiers at the gate carrying their belongings outside.

Boxes of satin silk, mahogany furniture, and huge coral screens are simply extravagant.

There was a plaque next to the stone lion at the door, and when he saw the surname on it, Huo Rendong's heart moved, and he hurriedly pulled the woman next to him who was also watching the excitement.

"This eldest sister, do you know what happened to this big family?"

The woman, who also had a broken mouth, saw that she took the initiative to ask, and said it like pouring beans.

"The girl must be a foreigner, the owner of this family is surnamed Liu, and he is the last lord of Qingcheng. This old guy is lustful and greedy for money, bullying men and women on weekdays, and doing all kinds of evil things. The city and several surrounding counties and townships were all miserable by him. ”

The woman lowered her voice: "At the beginning of this year, the old guy committed the emperor's taboo, and was found to have embezzled tens of thousands of taels of official silver, and was involved in some things in the court. ”

"No, exempt officials from raiding the house, the whole clan is exiled to the far north, it's winter, just let the old guy die in the middle of the road."

The woman was so angry that her teeth itched, she looked at the gate of the Liu mansion, and snorted viciously on the ground: "You deserve it!" ”

Qi Ci knew it as early as when Huo Rendong asked the women, and later, when he saw the woman turn her head and look expectantly, he couldn't help laughing.

"Your eyes are asking me."

"Childe, this is the culprit who caused Bai Cui'e's family to be ruined!"

Huo Rongdong's heart was excited: "Although I haven't seen him, I just have an inexplicable premonition." ”

Qi Ci was in a rare mood to explain: "The matter of Bai Liu's second family involves the concept of the law of cause and effect and the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao, you just need to remember 'harming the blessings of others and harming your own lives'." ”

Huo Rongdong said firmly: "It's the wicked who have their own harvest!" ”

Qi Ci was speechless, seeing that she was very interested, and her tone was gentle: "...... Pretty much. ”

Although Bai Cui'e and her family have been reincarnated, she may not know what happened to Master Liu, but the living people in the city and town will remember and spread it.

The less evil thoughts there are in heaven and earth, the more good feelings there are.

Huo Rongdong pinched the fire prevention trick he had just learned, and burned the door plaque that said "Liu Zhai", which was regarded as a gift to Bai Cui'e.

*

After leaving Qingcheng, the two went all the way to the west, basically repeating their daily itinerary.

Huo Rongdong practiced, practiced swords, and collected medicines, sometimes Qi Ci would not be able to control the poison, she took care of him, helped to suppress the obstacle poison with Qingxiao jade, and waited for him to regain consciousness......

I don't know how many ordinary healing and detoxification pills have been used, but all of them have mediocre results.

Now, Qi Ci's onset cycle has been extended from once every half a month to once every twenty days, which is already the limit of what Qingxiao Yu can do.

This time, Qi Ci had just survived an attack of poison, and his whole person seemed to be shrouded in violent clouds, and the land around him was scorched black by thunder and lightning.

He sat hunched over, holding a large stone in his right hand, his long snow-white hair hanging down in front of him, and the clothes on his back were soaked with sweat, clinging to his torso, revealing the curvature of his spine.

Unlike usual, Qi Ci's breathing was heavy at the moment, like a dormant and depressed beast.

Huo Rongdong couldn't help but get closer when he saw his constantly trembling body, and the green tendons on the back of his hands were bursting into pain.

Qi Ci turned her head sideways, and between her hair, her darker eyes locked on her than usual.

If someone else were to change to others, he would probably stay away in fear, but Huo Rongdong knew that he had regained his consciousness at this moment and would never hurt her.

She twisted the handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and suddenly asked, "Childe, do you know how to detoxify obstacles." ”

Qi Ci hooked his lips, his voice was hoarse, and he replied very slowly: "I said before that this poison is incurable, and sooner or later you will die." ”

"What about the other way, is it useful to go to the temple and Taoist temple to receive the incense?"

There is a spring near here, and it has some aura. Qi Ci walked into the icy spring water and soaked, leaning back against the stone, he was only wearing a white middle coat, the placket of his chest was open, wet and sticking to his body, revealing a firm and smooth texture.

His voice was flat, without a little fluctuation: "Barrier poison is the most evil thing, and those who are infected will either die certainly, or life is worse than death." The solution is different from the Red Pill Spell in you, and it can't be resisted by any willpower......"

In the end, Qi Ci thought of the thousands of years in the Xiuzhen Continent, and the monks who died near the Black Domain, I don't know how many.

Most people only know that they are the heroes who sealed the Black Domain, but they don't know that more than half of these people actually died after they were infected with the obstacle poison and fell.

He slowly closed his eyes and soaked in the icy spring water to recuperate.

White-haired, white-clothed, lifeless, he is like a goblin that will disappear at any moment.

Seeing that Qi Ci gradually calmed down, the old wound on his shoulder was no longer tossed, although the injury did not improve, his expression was less painful.

It's just that he still doesn't want to say how to treat the obstacle.

Huo Rongdong just felt that Qi Ci must know what the method was.

After a cup of tea, he fell asleep in the spring. Huo Nindong cast a simple masking spell to tell the birds not to disturb him.

She was worried, thinking about what to do with the most evil things.

At this time, Huo Honeysuckle's expression changed, and she felt several spiritual qi passing over them, and Qi Er came back, circling back and forth, as if looking for someone.
