Chapter 27: The Aftermath
After packing up, the two rushed back to the underground palace.
It turns out that the underground palace is in the belly of the mountain on the outskirts of Qiuchang Town, where there is a continuous group of mountains, and from the underground tunnel of Qiufeng Hall in the town, you need to pass through most of the town to get to the location of the underground palace.
Due to the remoteness of the terrain, last night's big movement did not have any impact on the people in the town, and even the mountain that collapsed in the last earthquake was treated as an ordinary rock collapse.
"The people in this town are not too big-hearted. Looking at the sky, she originally wanted to deal with a group of panicked people, but now looking at the people who were as happy and peaceful as usual, she felt a little melancholy that she had no place to make it.
"After all, there are many people in this town, and everyone is used to seeing all kinds of scenes, and the tunnel that passes through the town and the construction of the entire underground palace cannot be completely without movement. Chang Jue saw that she was aggrieved, and comforted her.
"But the rocks are collapsing, and they are not worried at all...... Well, the place is indeed far from the town, and no amount of rocks can be crushed here. ”
"Let's go, everyone is okay. There is also a pile of wooden people in the dungeon. Chang Jue reached out and rubbed the top of Phantom's head.
He's tall, huh. Phantom belly, pouting and leaving.
Chang Jue shook his head with a smile and hurriedly followed.
Sure enough, there are still a lot of people lying in the dungeon, all of them are the ones who have not had time to refine into the blood pool, most of them are disciples of Qiufeng Hall, and some of the Jianghu people who pass by Qiuchang Town, they have no relatives or friends, and no one cares about their traces.
Phantom Wu picked up a few people who had fallen for the illusion of the lady and poured spiritual power from their Baihui, but in a moment, several people woke up, and among them there was even the big disciple of the Autumn Wind Hall who was stupid.
Several people were stunned by the scene in front of them, and Phantom Wu gave them another explanation, and Yan Bai almost threw himself into Phantom Wu's arms and cried, but some remaining reason stopped him from making such a humiliating move, so he turned around and threw himself into Changjue's arms.
Long-term: ......
Disciples of Qiufeng Hall: I don't want to admit that he is our senior brother, how can I break it?
Phantom: Xiao Jue is really a very attractive existence...... Poofhahahaha...... I seem to have pounced on that hug before, why is there an inexplicable unhappiness?
"Well, a few of you have just been poisoned by a shallow illusion, but the others have also been poisoned, and they still need to be detoxified and cured, find a way to bring them back, and this task will be handed over to you." Phantom Wu patted Yan Bai on the shoulder, and easily pulled him out of Changjue's arms like an octopus, and threw it to the disciples who looked up at the sky.
Then Phantom Wu pulled Chang Jue and slipped away...... Slipped away......
The only few people who were left awake pondered over the amount of work: Are there too many disciples in our Qiufeng Hall......
After they used ropes, clothes and other tools to tie people one by one and lead them away, Phantom Wu turned back and stared at the dark Da Ding in the underground palace in a daze.
"It's evil. Chang Jue looked at the intricate and exquisite pattern decoration of this body, and even the small lines were full of black gas, frowning and groaning.
"This tripod is called Wanrong Ding, it is a magic weapon in itself, not an evil weapon, but what the person who uses it refines, it becomes something. Phantom Wu sighed, and he didn't know how the flaming rat got this treasure.
"Isn't there room for everything? Chang Jue couldn't help but sigh, no wonder this body is so exquisite, maybe it is an ancient treasure.
"Yes, it is said that it can refine anything, and it can fuse everything, and the spirit of the demon pill is all evil. But I haven't used it either, so I don't know if it's true. ”
"True or not, this thing can't be left here. "But this evil spirit is so heavy, how can we take it away?
"So I'm just going to take it, it's a treasure, and it can't be cheapened by others. Phantom Wu took out the Qiankun bag, shook out a lot of gadgets, picked out a handkerchief-like gauze from it, shook it a few times, and threw it at Dading, and saw that the gauze suddenly swelled and enveloped the entire body of Ding, and also wrapped the evil spirit of Dading.
"Hee-hee, you can take it away now. Phantom rubbed his hands, put Wanrong Ding into the Qiankun bag, and then put away the snacks and toys all over the ground, and patted the bag very satisfied.
"What's that cloth?" asked Chang Jue when she was done.
"I haven't named that piece of cloth yet, so why don't you give me one? Phantom Wu was in a very good mood and looked up and gave him a big smile.
"That piece of cloth was woven by you, and it can purify evil spirits?" Changjue's eyes widened.
"Yes, when I was bored before, I thought if I could weave a piece of cloth that could be large or small, which could be used as a handkerchief, or as a wrapping cloth or something, but later the master found special materials for me to make it, and it is said that I asked for silk from the Weaver Girl. Phantom Wu didn't say that he doubted it, but it was good if it could be used, no matter where he was.
She raised her hands, stretched them out in front of Changjue and shook them, then retracted them and put them behind her, and smiled: "This purification ability is the third skill I specialize in, but this cloth can't be purified, it can only temporarily stabilize the evil qi, and this ding has to be brought back to the valley to purify." ”
After a long time, he asked, "Your first ability is to weave dreams, but what about the second one?"
"Hmm. Unexpectedly, he paid attention to it, and Phantom Wuqu pointed to his lips: "I also regard memory as a skill for weaving dreams, if I think about it this way, then I have another skill! Ha, I'm still quite useful!"
Chang Jue was helpless: "Don't be presumptuous, you are already very powerful." ”
"Mmmm, I'm also very good at making clothes, this is my second, ah, not the third skill. With that, he grabbed the hem of his clothes.
Chang Jue pulled the hem of his clothes back from her hand, smoothed out the wrinkles by the way, and behaved calmly.
"Stingy, I wasn't allowed to touch it even though I did it. ”
"What you give me is mine, I want to love it, it's not that you are not allowed to touch it, just don't crumple it. He smiled lightly, as if he was patiently reasoning with a child.
I gave it, so do you cherish it? The little emotion was so shallow: "It's a good thing to cherish things...... Well, you haven't named it yet!"
"Well, let's call it Turnip Yarn. ”
"Dirt-free, dust-free, very proper. ”
"It's not that nothing, it's your wu," Chang Jue's gaze was as clean as a mirror, "Your things naturally have to carry your name." ”
"Oh. Phantom wanted to cover his eyes, and he always felt inexplicably dizzy.
Ding's problem was solved, and the two of them turned to the pool of blood.
This pool of blood is square and is surrounded by ordinary stones, and it is still bubbling with blood bubbles at this time, like pig blood porridge cooked by someone over a warm fire.
Why did you think of eating again, could it be that you were infected by Lin Qiyi's foodie, and she was depressed.
When she was struggling with a solution, she circled the pool herself, but saw that the four corners of the square were drawn with spells in blood.
"This pool itself is ordinary, someone should have made a formation to trap the evil qi and make it murderous. "Chang Juedao, and led the phantom to see the talisman.
Although Phantom Wu is a demon body spiritual cultivator, but the Dao Law has not taken a good look at a few books, these charms know her, but she doesn't know these crooked symbols.
"This formation is so strange, and I don't know where the eyes of the formation are. Chang Jue also made a difficulty, and Phantom Wu felt funny when he saw his sad appearance.
Just laugh in your heart, it's important to solve this evil thing. After thinking for a moment, Phantom Wu was about to hold her into the air, leaning over to look at the pool of blood.
The change of vision was really much wider, and even the chief could see that there were some doorways in the stones scattered around this blood pool.
He turned his head to look at Phantom, only to see her look puzzled, and before he could ask, Phantom asked him to carry him back to the ground.
Phantom Wu walked to the sides of the pool, hesitated for a while, kicked off a flower-shaped stone pile surrounded by five stones, and then went around to the other side and kicked down a triangular stone pile. The whole pool was quiet, except for the color black and red, there was no murderous aura.
Phantom let out a long breath. Seeing that the trouble was solved, Phantom Wu still looked confused, so he came over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Phantom Wu shook his head: "I've thought about it for a long time, I'm sure I haven't seen this formation, but I feel familiar," this said contradictoryly, and Phantom Wu also felt depressed, "I mean, it's just an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but fortunately nothing went wrong." ”
Dissolving the formation is very dangerous, the wrong solution, finding the wrong formation, or the wrong order, will cause the formation to backlash, especially this kind of evil formation, if it is not good, it will also release the evil qi to awaken the underground evil things, at this time, the result may be better if left alone.
Phantom Wu also knew this, for Taoist methods such as formation charms, she did learn superficially, but these words were what the master asked her to remember, for the sake of her own safety, and also warned her not to do bad things with good intentions.
Dealing with such important issues of principle, Phantom Wu thinks very seriously, after all, she is a grass that cherishes her life. It's just that when she looked at the formation just now, she was very sure how to solve it, but she couldn't figure out why she was so sure, so she felt confused again.
I don't want to, it's solved anyway. But worrying about nothing has always been her rule of survival, so she quickly swept away her worries and became relaxed.
Seeing that she had regained her look, Chang Jue naturally didn't worry about anything else, so the two left the underground palace, and went to the town government by the way to inform them of the authentic matter, and asked them to stay and seal themselves to solve it.
The yamen didn't believe in such strange things, so they sent messengers to see them, and they almost didn't drop their jaws one by one. The government felt that this matter was important, and asked the reason, or did it say that it was a group of mountain bandits who deliberately caused trouble, dug tunnels all over the town, and wanted to silently occupy Qiufeng Hall to find the martial arts secrets and all kinds of treasures in the hall, and then looted the village and town while everyone was unprepared, the underground palace was their base camp, and it was also a coincidence that the two of them could accidentally discover this matter when they were guests in Qiufeng Hall.
As for the mountain bandits, they have long been beaten away by my guards. Phantom Wu arrogant fingers are long, although everyone is surprised how this young man can defeat the bandits, but seeing his tall posture, he must be a young talent in the martial arts of the world, and he is a good student to thank and praise him.
However, Phantom Wu was very dissatisfied: "Hmph! stingy ghost, don't give any reward or anything!"
Back in Qiufeng Hall, it is a bunch of aftermath work, and it is difficult for Rao to be lazy and idle.
The poison of the disciples is not difficult to solve, and after the medicine is poured and the spiritual platform is purified by the phantom, everyone wakes up quietly, and sighs for the rest of their lives.
However, the hall master Xu Yingqiu's is more difficult to solve, and the poison in it is also more complicated. After detoxifying the poison of the disciples, he also understood the toxicity of this poison.
Phantom Wu watched him put down the needle from the side, the needle was precise and steady, and he couldn't help but sigh: "I see that you have been practicing meditation and martial arts in the valley on weekdays, and you are also helping Qingyi Ge Sheng and them do things for a little time, how come your medical skills have improved so fast, you can apply needles?"
Chang Jue said while collecting the needle and cleaning his hands: "There is not much I can do in the valley, and I studied by the way when I helped Ge Sheng." ”
Phantom belly: Yes, Qingyi is afraid that you will rob her of her sense of existence, so she has worked hard to compare with you, and the efficiency is so high that she will not leave you a chance to perform, of course you have nothing to do.
"I thought you wouldn't have to sleep. ”
"No, but it's still hard to administer the needle, and I was a little nervous the first time. ”
Phantom Wu couldn't help but squint at Xu Yingqiu on the bed, and after making sure that he was not stabbed to death, he roared in his heart: Why didn't I see that you were nervous! Who are you trying to force to death!
I won't say I'm not going to do it yet!
Didn't Master think I was stupid, so he didn't continue to teach me medical skills...... I feel that my IQ is despised and how to break it!
What's the use, talent is the most important thing! No one can learn my skills! Hmph! I have a specialty in art!
Phantom Wu silently comforted himself for a long time before rolling up his sleeves to relieve Xu Yingqiu's illusion.
That look of enthusiasm made Yan Bai feel that Phantom Wu was going to beat people.
Fortunately, the phantom Wu is strong and the business is good (?), and the hall master woke up after half a pillar of incense. After that, there was a tearful explanation of the things before and after.
After listening, Xu Yingqiu let out a long sigh. He was originally a sturdy middle-aged man and the master of a hall, but now in him, he no longer has the original chic state, but is very depressed.
"That's it, so tired that the two of you are implicated by me, and suffer from this unjustified calamity. Phantom Wu was silent, so she wouldn't say that she was the target of the lady in the first place.
"This time it was a poor hospitality, so Yan Bai greeted the two distinguished guests on my behalf. When the people are healed, they will send the disciples. ”
Yan Bai, who had been nodding silently beside him, was suddenly stunned when he heard this, and seemed to think about what he meant before he said, "Master......!
"It's all a fault, implicated innocent people, and it is inevitable that there will be another disaster, so let's disperse the Autumn Wind Hall. Xu Yingqiu didn't look at him, and said in a deep voice.
"Master, has Master left us alone......? What about the people in the town? They all still rely on Qiufeng Hall to survive!" Yan Bai's eyes widened, and he was about to cry between words, but he bit his lip and didn't cry.
"I will dismiss my family wealth, everyone can still find a living, as for the people in the town, the people in the rivers and lakes who are separated from us can be more stable, and the court will also send people to take care of it. ”
"But Master......"
Xu Yingqiu stretched out her hand to interrupt him: "No need to say any more, Yanbai, prepare as I say." ”
Yan Bai wanted to ask again, but finally kowtowed, wiped his face and flew out of the room.
