The jade slip couldn't be taken out of the Penglai Palace, so Wei XVII found a quiet room, memorized the soul trick in his mind word by word, confirmed that it was correct, returned the jade slip, said goodbye to Elder He and Wei Rongniang, and left Xianyun Peak.

Alone, along the mountain road to the foot of Tiandu Peak, the brothers are there, they haven't seen each other for many years, and they all feel a little rusty with each other when they talk at first glance. Unconsciously, the gaze they cast on Wei Qiqi had turned into looking up, and it was impossible for them to even speak in such a friendly tone as in the past. But in retrospect, have they ever been intimate? Wei Qiqi's words and deeds have always been polite and indifferent, he is a bystander, calmly looking at the world from a distance.

The only one who can be intimate with him is the little junior sister Qin Zhen. But Qin Zhen is not under Tiandu Peak, the brothers and sisters only know that she is concentrating on cultivation in Tiandu Peak, and she also went down the mountain once half a month ago, and then disappeared.

After greeting for a while, Wei Seventeen said goodbye and left, leaving Yue Zhilan and the Song brothers with a back. Song Qi couldn't help muttering, "Senior brother is really in a ......hurry, and he is in a hurry, and he is in a hurry" When he said this, he was not without envy, how many of them were as comfortable as him.

The dust is not clean, the heart is unhindered, and it is for freedom.

Wei Qiqi climbed Tiandu Peak unhurriedly, the snow was falling all over the sky, flying like rain, and he was the only one, walking steadily among the cliffs.

He was not in a hurry, he looked at the bleak snow scene along the way, and looked and walked, the mountain road that he had always been used to, he knew where to settle and where to turn when he closed his eyes, Wei Qiqi felt that his legs were light and strong, and he landed silently, and he had the illusion of walking against the wind.

Two hours later, he came to the Kuji Spring.

There was no one on the edge of Kuji Spring, and in this kind of bad weather, even the most diligent disciples would not brave the wind and snow, go to the top of Tiandu Peak to cultivate for a while, and then go down the mountain against the wind and snow.

Wei Qiqi plucked the warm spring water, leaned over and drank a few sips of water, feeling hungry in his stomach, so he went around the mountains and forests, carried a string of Jinwen rats back to the bitter spring, neatly washed and peeled clean, found a sheltered ravine, picked up some dead branches to make a fire and roasted meat.

The wind and snow gradually stopped, the four fields were silent, and the air was clear and clean. The grease dripping from the rat's flesh fell into the fire, splashing a string of sparks. Wei Qiqi buried his head and internal organs in the ash heap, added a few dead branches to the fire, stood up and came to the high place, bent his thumb and forefinger, and put it in his mouth and whistled twice.

The whistle echoes in the mountains and forests in winter, and it does not go away for a long time.

After waiting for a while, but there was no response, Wei Qiqi jumped down the ravine, slowly ate the cooked rat meat, stuffed a few balls of snow into his mouth, extinguished the fire, and set off for the boiling spring.

The boiling spring is located in a col a hundred miles east of Kuji Spring, and the pungent smell of sulfur can be smelled from a long distance, and the familiar smell reminds Wei Qiqi of Xu Li and Xin Laoqi, when they had a fight by the boiling spring, the little junior sister fell into the boiling spring, her clothes were soaked, and she was tightly wrapped around her body, like a little Lori who was easy to push down.

Those not-so-distant pasts, in retrospect, seem like a dream, and become less real.

Wei Qiqi climbed to the top again, whistled twice, listened attentively, and still did not respond. He was a little worried, could it be that the little junior sister had gone to Yinyangling? With her temperament, there was such a possibility.

Then let's go to Yinyangling to have a look.

Just as he was about to leave, a series of fishy bubbles suddenly appeared in the depths of the boiling spring, churning at the bottom of the pocket, and after a few moments, the surface of the water fell sharply, revealing large chunks of wet rock.

What is the situation? Wei Qiqi smelled some kind of uneasy atmosphere, took a few steps back, and became alert in his heart.

The spring became less and less water, and eventually dried up, and all that remained of the original spring was a dark hole in the ground, and the heat was bubbling up.

A miserable white hand suddenly stretched out of the hole, grabbing the slippery rock, the five fingers were long, and the green tendons were protruding, obviously a woman's hand, but it was a little rough. Then a woman with a disheveled head poked out, her face hidden between her hair, her shoulder blades towering high, naked and emaciated.

Wei Qiqi pressed his hand on the sword bag, and suddenly remembered the little junior sister, and felt that her name really shouldn't have the word "Zhen".

"Hehehe, fresh human flesh, I smell you......" The woman laughed dryly, slowly raised her head, her long hair slid to the sides, revealing a thin face, very light eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, protruding nose bridge and cheekbones, and no blood on her lips.

She looked very tired, and lay on her stomach at the mouth of the cave for a while, and somehow got the strength to jump out naked. Thin, really thin, skinny, chest like two cloth bags, ribs clearly recognizable, the skin of the hands and feet are hanging down, swaying, it is like a skeleton covered in a layer of skin.

"Fresh human flesh!" The woman stared at Wei Qiqi, stretched out her tongue and licked her lips, and a series of thunderclaps sounded in her abdomen, "I'm so hungry, I haven't eaten meat for many years, blood, internal organs, bones, hehehe......"

Wei Qiqi asked calmly, "Are you a human?"

The woman patted her shriveled belly, her wrinkled skin shook, and sneered: "This body is a human, but inside the body, it is a demon!" She bent down, landed on the ground with her hands, and with a fierce exertion of her limbs, she jumped high and threw herself at Wei Qiqi.
