I never thought that today's cultivation would allow my cultivation that had been stagnant for two years to finally break through the first layer.

Just when Li Changci wanted to share this joy with Qing Yue, he found Qing Yue hiding in a far corner, covering his nose and glaring at him.

Afterwards, Li Changci smelled an old stench.

"Gott~"

Li Changci couldn't help it, and glanced at himself, although the whole person was not wrapped in a layer of black mud like the first time, but it was also a lot of sewage, and his clothes were a little dirty, no wonder Qingyue was so disgusted and so far away from him.

"Ah Ci, go take a bath, I'm about to die of your stink."

Qingyue muttered and complained.

Li Changci touched his nose embarrassedly, hurriedly ran into the back of the house, washed himself from head to toe with clean water, and changed into a new set of clothes before coming out.

Seeing that after Li Changci washed it, the smell on his body was finally gone, Qing Yuecai happily pulled Li Changci's sleeve again, and said with a small mouth: "Ah Ci, let's go back to the city quickly, I didn't take a good look at it last time." ”

"Ah Ci, I heard your master say that there are a lot of delicious foods in the capital, can you buy them for me to eat."

"By the way, Ah Ci, next time you go to that Yan Chunlou, can I come out and take a look? I also want to see what the willow shade looks like. ”

......

Li Changci replied with a low smile: "Okay, I'll take you there, let's go." ”

Qingyue obediently returned to the sword, Li Changci recited a mantra, flipped his wrist, turned his spiritual power, and transformed the Qingyue sword into the previous ink hairpin, pinned in his hair, but this time Qingyue could communicate with Li Changci anytime and anywhere.

"Qingyue, you must not say it out loud, otherwise others will think it is a monster when they hear it."

As soon as he thought that he would be able to go to the city immediately, he couldn't wait to say, "I know, I know, communicate with the spirit, you have said it several times." ”

When Li Changci took Qingyue out of the enchantment, a small white snake curled up in front of the door suddenly opened its eyes, and swooped into the forest at a very fast speed, disappearing, and the hut behind him was hidden in the enchantment.

Li Changci glanced at the direction in which the little white snake was fleeing, and sneered: "This little thing is running really fast." ”

After saying that, he left without looking back, only to hear a few words of conversation in the air.

"Ah Ci, why did you let go of that little white snake just now?"

"Everything has a spirit, since that little thing has a spiritual wisdom by chance, and there is no sin of killing in his body, why should I cut off his vitality."

"Ah Ci, you are really good."

"It's not that I'm good-hearted, it's that everything in the world has a fate, all things are equal, and I can't judge the life and death of others just by my own judgment."

"yes, got it."

As the sound of the two talking got farther and farther away, the little white snake hiding under the trees poked its head out again.

Although I don't know why that powerful person didn't kill himself, the little white snake firmly remembered one sentence: all things are equal, and you can't hurt others at will.

Li Changci changed into an ordinary man's outfit, took Qingyue to visit all the streets of the capital, and then visited two families surnamed Liu in the east and west of the city.

However, both families are very sure that they have not invited any Taoist priests.

It seems that I still have to go to the palace to ask Liu Yinyin's aunt.

Then, Li Changci changed into Li Qingyue's appearance, and quietly came to Yan Chunlou's cabinet and found Liu Yinyin and them.

The two people in the house were startled when they saw Li Qingyue suddenly appear in the house.

After seeing that it was Li Qingyue's appearance, he patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Qing Yue, who was very curious about the appearance of Liu Yinyin, also came out of the hairpin, hid behind Li Changci, and cautiously poked his head out.

Qing Yue praised in his soul: "Wow, it's so beautiful." ”

As a mortal, Liu Yinyin certainly couldn't see Qing Yue's existence, but after Hongying came out of Qing Yue, she was so frightened by the murderous aura on Qing Yue's body that she instantly froze in place, not daring to move at all, and even her soul body became a little illusory.

Liu Yinyin hurriedly hugged the red tassel and said worriedly: "Miss the red tassel, what's wrong with you?" ”

Since thousands of years, there have been countless demons and monsters who have died under the Qingyue Sword, even if the Qingfeng Sword Venerable used the nine ancient runes to seal the murderous aura on the Qingyue Sword, but with the momentum of its sword body, it can suppress an ordinary ghost like Hongying.

If the nine rune seals can be lifted one by one, I am afraid that I will be able to penetrate the depths of the northern abyss alone.

It's a pity that Li Changci has not yet reached the ability to break the seal, and only when she cultivates the demon slaying sword technique to Mahayana and unlocks the tenth layer of exercises, can she know how to lift the seal.

Seeing that Hongying's face turned pale, Li Changqi turned his wrist, locked the killing qi on Qingyue's body in Qingyue's body, and gave Hongying a trace of spiritual power, and Hongying eased up.

Hongying didn't dare to look at Qingyue Xiao Lori, and knew that it was best not to say it at this time, so she replied in a low voice: "Thank you Miss Liu, I don't have a big deal." ”

Then Hongying diverted the topic and asked Li Changci: "Qingyue Daoist, are you here to find me?" ”

Li Changci nodded, "Miss Hongying, do you remember the way to the Qin Mansion in the suburbs?" ”

Hearing that terrifying place, Hongying's heart tightened, and she looked at Li Changci in disbelief: "Dao Chief, are you going to the Qin Mansion?" ”

"Yes, I'll go and see if there are still living people there, or there are still clues from the past, and give you justice."

Hearing this, Hongying's eyes instantly filled with tears, and she sobbed: "Thank you Qingyue Daoist, if you can know the truth, Hongying is grateful." However, I can't leave this Qingyue Temple, and I don't know how to guide the way. ”

Li Changci thought for a while, then raised his eyes to look at Hongying, and said lightly: "Miss Hongying, if you don't mind, I can use the secret method to explore your memories and find the things connected to you in Yan Chunlou, are you willing?" ”

Of course, Hongying would not refuse, and immediately let go of her consciousness and let Li Changci probe in.

Seeing that Li Changci and Hongying both fell into another space, standing motionless in place, Liu Yinyin silently prayed for them in her heart.

Fortunately, Li Changci soon found clues in Hongying's memory fragments.

It turned out to be a willow tree next to the firewood room of Yan Chunlou.

That year, when Hongying was first sold by his father, because he ran away many times, he was beaten several times by the old Yan Chunniang, and several times Hongying was beaten to the flesh and skin, and the blood was stained on the willow tree, and then Hongying stopped running, and because of his young age, he couldn't go out to pick up customers, so he was arranged to do laundry and chores in the backyard for two years.

In the past two years, every time Hongying was bullied, she would tell her grievances to Willow in the firewood room, and over time, there was a connection between the two.

So when the red tassel died, Willow found that the red tassel had not come back for a long time, so he had the consciousness of wanting the red tassel to come back.

When the willow tree's consciousness was too strong, it really pulled the soul of the red tassel back.

After breaking away from Hongying's consciousness, Li Changci took Hongying to the backyard.

At this time, it happened to be the time when Yan Chunlou opened his door to do business, and Liu Yinyin also went to the vestibule, and there was no one in the backyard, so a lonely willow was erected in the corner.

Seeing the red tassel walking towards him, the branches of the willow tree danced gently, as if welcoming the return of the lover.

Red Tassel put her hand on the trunk of the tree, and the rough bark rubbed against the palm of her hand, which was uncomfortable.

Hongying's heart was borrowed, and she asked dryly, "Why didn't you tell me it was you?" ”

It's a pity that the willow tree can't speak, and Hongying said to herself again: "Also, as long as you will listen to my complaints, thank you." ”

Feeling the sadness of the red tassel, the willow tree gently brushed the willow branch to the red tassel's face, wanting to wipe the tears on the red tassel's face.

Red Silk prayed to the willow tree silently: "Thank you for finding my soul, but now that I am going out, I want to find the answer, can you let me out?" ”

Willow's movements paused for a moment, as if he understood Hongying's words.

After understanding, the willow branches flew rapidly, and after a while, a sentence made of willow leaves appeared on the ground: Then will you come back?

For going to Qin Mansion this time, Hongying didn't know what to expect, so she could only look at Li Changci for help.

Li Changci promised the two that he would definitely bring the red tassel back safe and sound.

The willow tree stood quietly in place, as if to ponder whether Li Changci's words could be trusted.

After a long time, a light breeze blew through Li Changci and Hongying, and I saw that the words on the ground became: I believe in you, you are very strong.
