Chapter 122: Qingfeng Gate asks for help
"Do you remember Ci Yuehua?"
Qingzi looked at the other party expectantly, wanting to see if the other party could react a little, and at the same time afraid of disappointment.
Unexpectedly, the other party really reacted, his eyes rolled, and Mu Ran spoke: "He's gone!"
"Gone, what's gone?" Qingzi subconsciously asked, and suddenly reacted that there was no keyword, so he added: "Where did Ci Yuehua go?"
Youbei replied: "Crazy, gone!"
Lose your marbles!
Let's go!
Crazy!
Crazy !! gone!!
What do you mean?
What does "crazy" mean?
And what does it mean to be "gone"?
However, no one can give her an answer at the moment!
A night of loneliness, a night of reminiscence, for some reason, Qingzi suddenly felt a sour nose and blurred eyes.
Although it was already a previous life, but when she heard the sad words at this moment, Qingzi suddenly felt so sad in her heart, and it seemed that a large piece of her heart was suddenly empty, and she was pouring cold wind into it.
In their previous lives, they didn't communicate much, their relationship was not good, and there were even more misunderstandings than they could count, and until they died, they actually kept complaining about him.
Reborn in a lifetime, Qingzi thought that she had started over and no longer commented on the past.
But at this moment, the four words of sadness have been circulating in her mind, making her more and more sad.
She was reborn and solved a lot of misunderstandings, but in her previous life, they didn't solve the misunderstandings, and the master at that time watched himself disappear in front of him, what kind of mood should he have?
Why is it called crazy?
What does it mean to be gone?
This night, some people can't sleep, and some people have a lot of thoughts.
Looking at the plum blossoms that were about to bloom completely in the palm of her hand, Qingzi retracted her fingers slightly, but there was no sound in the end.
Looking at the city at hand, Qingzi squinted her eyes and stretched out her hand to block the strong sunlight above.
In April, the grass grows and the warbler flies, the spring is bright, it is the season of recovery of all things, but the dragon city is in the north, at this time there is only a slight green, even if the sun is dazzling, you can't feel half a minute of warmth, all are blown away by the howling wind.
Qingfeng Gate is located in the Dragon City, and the entire Dragon City is the base of Qingfeng Gate.
Qingzi walked to the gate of the city and handed over the post, "Brother Guard, I want to visit the eldest prince of your family, and ask the eldest brother to pass it on on my behalf." ”
The guard took it and looked at it twice and raised his voice, "You wait here!"
In a short time, a mahogany carved carriage drawn by four horses with gold braid and red ears and white horses appeared on the avenue and was galloping towards the city gate.
When they arrived at the city gate, the speed of the carriage slowed down and slowly stopped beside Qingzi.
The guards who had been standing there bowed their heads respectfully.
Qingzi raised his eyes and saw a young man wearing a light purple shirt, with a long figure and a handsome appearance, opened the curtain and walked out, it was Song Changqi.
Seeing that the other party came to see her in person, Qingzi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and said secretly: "This person can, I am just nodding friends with him now, and I am willing to come to see her in person, but I didn't put up any swag." ”
"Qingzi Daoyou, I didn't expect you to come here, I'm glad to be there. Song Changqi got out of the carriage and turned his head to glance at it, and when he saw Qingzi, a smile rose on the corner of his mouth, and he walked over quickly.
Qingzi hooked her lips, "I didn't expect to alarm Changqi Gongzi to greet him personally, I dare not be ashamed." ”
Song Changqi smiled gently and politely, and his voice was gentle and gentle, "How can we say that we have experienced hardships together, and we can be regarded as having some friendships, and besides, if you come to see me, I will naturally come to greet you." ”
Qingzi only smiled at him and did not speak. Song Changqi stretched out a hand and made a "please" gesture and said, "It's still a little cold outside, please go back with me first!"
Qingzi bowed his head and got into the carriage with him.
Walking to the front of the carriage, Qingzi saw a purple sign hanging under a corner eaves in front of the carriage, with a big "Chun" written on it.
The carriage was wide enough to seat four people in a flat row, and it was also warm inside, and the seats were cushioned with black mink, which was comfortable and warm.
It is true that the warmth in the north is much better than that in the south, although the weather outside is not as warm as in the south at this time, and a thin shirt is enough. But the interior in the north can be as hot as the early summer in the south.
The cloth used on the carriage was satin, and the inside could not be seen from the outside, and the outside could not be seen from the outside.
After not seeing the scenery of Dragon City for a long time, Qingzi couldn't help but open the curtain and look outside through the window.
Ranking high in the second sect, the Qingfeng Gate is naturally not bad, and Longcheng Avenue is very wide, enough for three carriages of this size to pass through in parallel.
The houses on both sides are built in a low state, suitable for burning kang.
There are relatively few entertainment venues here, except for eating and drinking, they basically sell other daily necessities, pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
"Fellow Daoist, please drink tea. In the carriage, Song Changqi took out a teacup from the dark compartment below and put it in front of her for Qingzi, which was a big red robe with a strong tea flavor.
"Thank you. There was no too eye-catching scenery outside, so Qingzi lowered the curtain and took a sip of tea on the small coffee table.
"Naturally, this side is not as prosperous as Jinling. Song Changqi said on the side.
Qingzi said: "It's not bad here, there are always unique scenery in each place." ”
Song Changqi nodded in agreement and said, "You are right, the best time for the scenery here is not spring and summer, but autumn and winter." ”
Qingzi fell on Song Changqi and waited for the other party to explain.
Song Changqi smiled slightly, took a sip of tea and said, "When it comes to autumn, when you look at the suburbs, almost all of them are orange and yellow. Eighty percent of the rice produced here is exported to other places, and perhaps you may be able to sell your food from here whenever you eat. ”
Qingzi raised her eyebrows and said, "Is that so?" ”
Song Changqi nodded and snorted, "Winter, needless to say, you should also know that this place is located in the north, the coldest place, and snow is naturally indispensable in winter." ”
It is clear that snow may be a rare sight in the south, but it should be a very common thing here, and if it doesn't snow, it's a wonder.
"There is a saying that freezing three feet is not a day's cold, this sentence may be true to you, but here I am afraid that it is going to fall one by one, it should be called a cold day not three feet of freezing. ”
Qingzi grinned and said, "Hahahaha, what Brother Changqi said is interesting. ”
Song Changqi shook his head helplessly and said: "What I said is not a lie, a snowfall here in winter is enough to be more than three feet deep, and if a child falls into a snowdrift, it is enough to drown him." "I love watching Chinese
Qingzi sighed softly when she heard this: "The winter in the north is indeed cold. ”
Song Changqi hooked his lips, "Fortunately, with us monks, they won't have too much difficulty." ”
Qingzi lowered his head and took a sip of tea, why there are the most small sects in the north, and the severe cold is also one of the reasons.
In the northern winter, the weather is cold, and the people who are cold enough to choke after an ordinary cold snow rely on the warm kang in the house to survive the winter.
And there is no place to warm outside, and if a thin person walks outside, his life may be lost.
If you encounter a snowstorm, you are afraid that the casualties will be countless.
Because of this, the importance of monks is reflected, forming a formation to protect against the cold, melting away too much ice and snow, which requires the help of a large number of monks.
If you only rely on the Qingfeng Gate sect, you can't control so many ordinary people at all.
Therefore, those small sects are welcome to settle down again, not only do they not exclude them, but sometimes they will also help them.
The monks were not very afraid of the cold, and not only were they not excluded here, but they could also receive relief, which naturally attracted many small sects to come here.
"What is the matter with Daoyou coming this time?" Song Changqi finally asked.
Qingzi straightened his sleeves, looked at him and said, "According to Brother Changqi's mind, he must have guessed my intention." ”
"Song has naturally heard of the spies in Kunlun Mountain, but ...... Your land is far away from here, so I don't think it will have anything to do with it!"
Qingzi said: "Is there any involvement, Qingzi doesn't dare to say more, but I didn't come to inquire about this matter this time." ”
"Oh? ”
"Brother Changqi, do you remember the auction more than three months ago?"
Song Changqi nodded, "I remember." ”
Qingzi said again: "Then do you remember that there was a spirit bead at the auction house at that time?"
Song Changqi thought about it for a while and immediately remembered, "I have some impressions of that spirit bead, listening to the introduction, that spirit bead is not an ordinary product, and a small one has also sold tens of thousands of spirit stones." ”
Qingzi nodded, "That's right, that's it." ”
Song Changqi frowned, and asked suspiciously, "Could it be that there is something wrong with that spirit bead?"
Qingzi didn't speak, took out a spirit bead from the storage space and handed it to Song Changqi, saying, "Brother Changqi can take a look." ”
Song Changqi took it with a curious face, and didn't forget to ask: "It turns out that Daoyou also has this spirit bead, which was also auctioned from the auction house?"
Qingzi said: "It was auctioned at the auction, but it was not me." ”
Song Changqi took the spirit bead and looked at it carefully on his fingertips, and asked, "Oh, what other stories are there?"
Qingzi didn't answer, but asked first: "Brother Changqi, can you see anything?"
Song Changqifu looked at it again, shook his head suspiciously, and said, "Song Mou didn't see anything wrong. ”
Qingzi said: "This is normal, after all, even the auction house didn't see anything wrong with this." ”
I didn't expect that there was something really wrong, and I couldn't even find out the battle-hardened place in the auction hall. Song Changqi immediately became interested and asked, "It seems that Daoist friends know one or two of them, so you might as well tell each other the slightest?"
Qingzi smiled and nodded: "This is natural, I came here for this matter, Brother Changqi, please take care of it!"
As she spoke, she saw her fingers move a few times, and then a trace of black things was hooked out of the spirit bead by Qingzi with her fingertips, and it dispersed again in a moment, disappearing without a trace.
But even so, the aura it exuded made Song Changqi's face change, and he exclaimed, "Ghost Qi!"
Qingzi bowed his head, "That's right. ”
Song Changqi stared at the spirit bead that was already completely transparent for a long time, then took it from Qingzi's hand and continued to look at it, and then put it down and said, "What's going on? Why is there a ghost qi hidden in this spirit bead?!"
Qingzi shook her head and said, "What you said is actually not accurate. ”
Seeing that the other party looked at him suspiciously, Qingzi explained: "What is hidden here is not actually a ghost, but a ghost!"
"Ghosts?!" Song Changqi exclaimed: "How is it possible!"
Qingzi said: "It's indeed a ghost. ”
Song Changqi hesitated, "But...... It didn't show a soul. ”
Qingzi looked at the spirit bead and said, "It's not that it didn't show its soul body, but it was already destroyed before it showed its soul body. ”
"How so?"
Qingzi said, "At this moment, you are carefully observing and trying." ”
Song Changqi did as he said, and the more he felt, the tighter his brows wrinkled.
Qingzi looked at him but couldn't help laughing, some things, some people really rely on fate, they should become friends, no matter how time and space change, they have to be friends after all.
There are only three sides between them, one time they join hands but they meet in a hurry, and the other two times they have exchanges, but they also stop talking.
No matter how you build a relationship, it will never be to the point of trust, and Song Changqi is not a reckless and brainless person like his younger brother, on the contrary, his mind is still very deep, but he has always adhered to the right path, so even if he is smart, he has never used any crooked brains.
But even so, the basic heart of defense is there, but after he handed over the post, he didn't say a word to pick it up in person, and he took out the problematic spirit bead to him, he did not hesitate at all, picked it up and observed it in his hand, and now this spirit bead has been exposed in front of his eyes, but he is still unguarded, and he took it in his hand again after listening to his words.
From this point of view, either he trusts himself a lot, or this person has a big gap in his heart, is bold and careful, and has a long-term vision.
Thinking about it, he should believe that with the reputation of the master, the disciples he taught will not be bad, and besides, he has no grievances with him, let alone mistreat him in his realm.
After all, even if the qualifications are mediocre, but where you were born and raised, you have your own power, otherwise, you wouldn't have been the head of Qingfeng Gate in the first place.
"Someone put a forbidden spell on it!" This time, Song Changqi finally found the problem.
Qingzi looked at him with a smile and said, "Brother Changqi's good eyes, that's right, this spirit bead has been forbidden by someone, once the ghost inside is forcibly pulled out, it will be wiped out in an instant, and people can't find out." ”
Song Changqi immediately reacted and said, "So this spirit bead is actually from the hands of the ghost clan, and if it is quietly put into the auction hall, what will happen if someone buys it back?"
Qingzi said: "If the investigation is correct...... There are countless people who have disappeared in connection with it. ”
Song Changqi squinted his eyes and said, "Since this spirit bead will fall to the auction house, and according to the posture of that day, I am afraid that there will be more than one." Dare to ask, how many of these spirit beads have been found?"
Song Changqi asked directly about the number, and he knew that since the other party had come directly to ask for help, he must have investigated all of these very clearly.
"There are as many as 100 pieces coming out of the auction house alone. ”
After speaking, she continued: "According to intelligence, fifty percent of them are in small sects, ten percent are in loose cultivation, and forty percent are in the other four major sects. ”
As Qingzi expected, Song Changqi asked directly: "I want to know the reason why there are no spirit beads in Kunlun Mountain." ”
