Zhou Yun returned to the mourning hall, only to see his father Zhou Zhi send everyone else out, and then closed the door of the mourning hall.

Zhou Yun knelt next to his father and watched his father put the scattered paper money into the brazier. Then my father asked, "Did Aunt Lin say anything to you?" ”

Zhou Yun nodded and said, "Aunt Lin said that it was Blood Sesame Grass, and...

"And what?" Zhou Zhi looked at Zhou Yun.

"She said that the eldest brother should be more auspicious and less lucky." Zhou Yun lowered his head, now that his grandfather has died, the eldest brother is more than lucky, which makes people feel a little uneasy, these things seem to be aimed at their family.

Zhou Zhi didn't speak, patted Zhou Yun's shoulder, and comforted: "Your eldest brother's soul power and blood sealing technique are all above his father, and you can relax on your side." In addition, when the patriarch comes, you don't want to participate. ”

In less than a stick of incense, the patriarch and the other nine elders rushed over. When they heard that Zhou Chongjin had been tricked to death, they were all shocked. Who could actually give Gu to the Zhou Elder and no one else could find out.

Everyone gathered in the mourning hall, and the patriarch Zhou Lei asked, "Xiao Zhi, how did you find out that Chongjin was tricked?" ”

Zhou Zhi explained that it was Aunt Lin who found out and attracted the Gu worm from the old man's body, and after the Gu worm left the human body, it turned to ashes.

Patriarch Zhou Lei looked around the mourning hall and didn't see Ah Lin's figure, so he asked, "Ah Lin, how is she now?" ”

Zhou Zhi frowned, raised his eyes and glanced at the patriarch Zhou Lei, and replied, "She is currently resting in the side room, Aunt Lin, she suffered from blood to attract that Gu worm from my father's body. ”

Patriarch Zhou Lei was thoughtful and said, "Since she has suffered from blood, let her have a good rest first." ”

Several elders next to him carefully looked at the body of Old Man Zhou Chongjin, when they were inspected a few days ago, they were still sitting normally, but today the body has shrunk into a dry corpse-like appearance, and asked, "What kind of Gu worm is this, it is so harmful?" “

Zhou Zhi shook his head and said, "Aunt Lin didn't say it, I only saw that the worm was blood-red. “

Several elders frowned, thinking that they had never heard of such a thing.

Everyone discussed for a long time, but there were no useful clues.

"Since it has been determined that Elder Chongjin was tricked by someone, and this Gu worm is also dead, let's let Elder Chongjin go to the ground for peace." Patriarch Zhou Lei spoke.

The others nodded.

After the funeral of the old man Zhou Chongjin, it was ten days later.

Ah Yi thought that he had nothing to do in the past few days, and returned the soul arm to Zhou Yun, this thank you gift was too valuable, and he couldn't feel at ease. So he carried the box containing the soul arm and prepared to go up the mountain to Zhou Yun's house.

Ah Yi met the crane wind halfway, and Zhou Yun has been at home to take care of his bedridden mother for the past few days. Seeing that the weather was good today, Hefeng specially bought sweet fruits and went to visit Zhou Yun's mother, Aunt Xue.

When Ah Yi and Hefeng went to Zhou Yun's house, Zhou Yun's father, Zhou Zhi, was talking to Lang Zhong outside the house, and when he saw the two of them coming, he beckoned: "Come and find Zhou Yun." Zhou Yun is feeding his mother medicine in the back room, you can just go in. He called a servant to lead them both into the house.

The two followed behind the little girl, and Ah Yi said, "It's not convenient for the two of us to enter Aunt Xue's house, right?" “

Crane Wind nodded and said, "Let's just say hello outside the house." “

After a while, they arrived outside a courtyard, and the courtyard was filled with the smell of bitter Chinese herbs, and the little maid told the two of them to wait here. Then go in and report to Aunt Xue.

Not long after the little girl entered, she came out and said, "Aunt Xue said you can go in." “

The two walked in from the courtyard, only to see bursts of smoke floating out of a room, which was smoked with wormwood, and the smoke was filling, and on the bed, Zhou Yun's mother Aunt Xue was leaning on the bed, and what she saw a few days ago, she was actually thin and out of phase, her face was pale, her cheeks were sunken, and her eyes were so thin that they were sunken.

Zhou Yun was carrying a bowl of soup and medicine and feeding it to his mother.

Hefeng said: "Aunt Xue, I see that the weather is good today, and there is just a batch of sweet fruits from the Dongchi side today, which are very delicious, I specially bought some for you, and I put them on the table." ”

Ah Yi was a little flustered, this was the first time he had entered the house of the elders except his parents. A little overwhelmed, he said, "Aunt Xue, are you feeling better?" ”

Aunt Xue on the bed just wanted to speak, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she coughed violently. Zhou Yun hurriedly patted his mother on the back and was smooth.

Aunt Xue finally breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "Thank you for coming to see me, Xiaoyun has been taking care of me recently, and I don't have time to go on a mission, Ah Yi, why don't you find other blood magicians to team up with you recently." ”

Ah Yi hurriedly said, "Aunt Xue, it's out of the way." ”

Hefeng said: "Then Aunt Xue, you take care of yourself first, and I will go out with Ah Yi first." ”

Aunt Xue nodded and motioned for Zhou Yun to send the two of them off.

Before Ah Yi left, he put the box containing the soul arm on the table in Zhou Yun's mother's room.

After Hefeng and Ah Yi left from Zhou Yun's house, they met two blood magicians who had just returned from going out on the road, and the two blood magicians who came back said that a strange thing happened at Dongshan Ferry yesterday, and an old lady turned to ashes when she got off the boat.

Crane Wind and Ah Yi glanced at each other, and now there are more and more strange things.

When Ah Yi returned home, he saw that his mother was packing her bags, and she was a little curious and asked, "Mother, are you going to go far away?" ”

Ah Yi's mother saw that her son had returned, so she said, "A relative over there in Dongshan has died, and your father and I plan to take a boat back to Dongshan tomorrow. ”

Ah Yi nodded, and his mother suddenly sighed and said, "She died a strange death, I heard that as soon as she got off the boat, she turned to ashes." When the wind blew, there was no ash left. “

"Huh?" Ah Yi thought of what he had heard on the road just now, so he asked, "I also heard about it on the way back today." “

"You've heard that, too? Hey, that Grandma Lin even hugged you. Ah Yi's mother tightened her bags and put them on the table next to her.

"Grandma Lin?" Ah Yi has some impressions, didn't she come to Zhugou some time ago and went to Grandpa Zhou Yun's mourning hall?

"Yes, she's hugged you before. When she was young, she worked too hard, her legs and feet were not very convenient, and she had no children, so she was always taken care of by Dongshan's relatives. Ah Yi's mother sat down, thinking that Ah Yi was also 23 years old and should start a family. Just talk to him about these things.

Ah Yi stood up, Grandma Lin was the one who discovered the Gu among the Chongjin elders, she should have discovered something, so she was killed. Thinking of this, Ah Yi thought of Zhou Yun and his family. Hurriedly said to his mother: "Mother, I'm going to Zhou Yun's house here." “

Before he finished speaking, Ah Yi had already rushed to the door.

When Ah Yi arrived at Zhou Yun's house, he happened to see Zhou Yun's father about to go out, Zhou Zhi saw Ah Yi coming again, and asked, "Ah Yi, do you have anything to do with Xiaoyun here?" “

Ah Yi told Zhou Zhi what his mother said just now, and said, "Uncle Zhi, I feel that I am coming for your family. “

Zhou Zhi sighed and said, "It's going to change." “

When Ah Yi entered Zhou Yun's house, he saw Zhou Yun packing his luggage, so he asked, "Where are you going?" “

Zhou Yun replied while packing his luggage: "Medicine Valley, before Grandma Lin leaves Zhugu, let me make sure to go to Medicine Valley." “

Ah Yi was silent, and watched Zhou Yun pack his luggage. "So when are you leaving?" ”

Zhou Yun stopped what he was doing, thought for a while, and said, "It is estimated that in a few days, wait for the notice from my father's side." ”

Then Zhou Yun turned around and handed a box on the table to Ah Yi. said: "This is for my uncle, and there is no way to return it." I'm a man who doesn't like to owe favors. You save my life, I will give you a soul arm, two clear. “

Ah Yi shook his head: "This thing is too valuable." ”

Zhou Yun ran out of patience, sighed, frowned and threw the box directly into Ah Yi's arms. "If you take it, you can just take it, where is there so much rambling." “

Ah Yi hugged the box and didn't know what to say. asked, "How many of you go to the Medicine Valley." “

Zhou Yun replied: "The three of you, I follow Hefeng, and Zhou Cangyi." “

"Zhou Cangyi?" Ah Yi had no impression of the name, thinking about it in his mind.

"You haven't seen it. He was my father's apprentice and was already a third-order blood magician. In the past few years, he has basically been in Middle-earth, and rarely returns to Zhulu. This time, my father specially asked him to come back from Middle-earth. Zhou Yun explained.

"Uh-oh." Ah Yi didn't know what to say, so he had to say two words and stop talking.

After being silent for a long time, Ah Yi said, "Can I walk with you here?" ”

Zhou Yun put down the bags he had just packed, frowned, and said, "What are you going to do with us?" “

"I've never been to Medicine Valley here, and I want to see it." Ah Yi replied.

"Hahahahaha, it's really rare, you Zhou Yi is actually interested in Medicine Valley." Zhou Yun laughed, the sun came out of the west today. Ah Yi, this person, he usually doesn't go to other places except for the location of the mission, and today he actually became interested in Medicine Valley.

Ah Yi sneered and replied, "I have only seen about the Medicine Valley in books, and I have never been there, and I heard that there are various herbs there that can heal the three tribes. ”

"Forget it, you should have more tasks and earn more money to marry a daughter-in-law." Zhou Yun said with a smile.

"I want to say, it's like, a lot of things have happened during this time, and I have a feeling that a lot of things are coming for your family. That's not what I meant. Ah Yi explained.

"Hey, that's what I want to say, one more person, one more force, although my blood sealing technique is average, but I can also make a contribution." Ah Yi thought, after all, he received such a valuable gift from Zhou Yun and became a bodyguard next to Zhou Yun, which could be regarded as repaying this favor.

Zhou Yun thought for a while and said, "Okay." “

Ten days later, Zhou Yun, Ah Yi, Hefeng, and Zhou Cangyi, the four of them set off from Zhugou Island and headed for Youzhou Medicine Valley.
