Chapter 17: Withering

"Senior Brother Wan, are you okay?" In the inn, seeing the blood stains on Wan Qian's body, Mo Li was very worried.

"It's okay, it's just a minor injury, I'll just breathe for the night!" Wan Qian sat up cross-legged, ran the exercises, and healed the injury.

"I'll help you!" That sword, Yuan Qi looked at it really, and always felt that the injury was not as simple as it seemed, he sat cross-legged behind Wan Qian, using his spiritual power to help him heal, "Don't leave you to take a look at the edelweiss!"

Mo Li nodded, pushed the door and returned to the next room.

After about a quarter of an hour, Yuan Qi put away his hands and frowned: "Senior brother, what is going on with this pure heart extinguished, how can the man in black just now? ”

"I can't figure it out, but this trick is indeed something I saw in Master's Codex by accident, so there may be something else hidden!" Wan Qian's face was solemn, "I also want to know who can evolve this trick so deeply!"

"Eh!" Yuan Qi was silent for a moment, and then said, "By the way, what happened to the gray-clothed man that senior brother chased?"

"Speaking of helplessness, that day in the village, my spirit plate sensed that there was a demonic energy nearby, so I saw the man in gray, and I pursued it several times, but finally I was lost!" Wan Qian was very regretful, "But I found another thing!"

"What's the matter?" asked Yuan Qi.

"That gray-clothed person has a strange human body, quite like the Qingyun step of my Qingcheng Gate!" Wan Qian said, "I made a move with him, and I didn't feel the breath of any Demon Sect disciple!

"Could it be someone from Qingchengmen?" Yuan Qi was taken aback.

"He's masked, and I can't figure out who it is!" Wan Qian thought for a while, and then said, "I always feel that there is no such person in the Qingcheng Gate!"

"That's really weird!" Yuan Qi couldn't think of why.

"Senior Brother Yuan, have you found anything?" Wan Qian asked rhetorically.

"I asked a lot of people, and one of them was a child of a family surnamed Fu, named Fu Edelweiss. That kid had seen it with his own eyes, and Senior Sister Wan Ting was in a trance at that time, so she did it!" Yuan Qi responded, and he always felt that there was still something missing in this matter.

"What you see with your own eyes may not be true! in short, this matter is inseparable from the Demon Sect!" Wan Qian got up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Tomorrow we will go check and see if there is anything missing!"

"Yes, yes!" Mo Li pushed the door in, and saw the two of them looking at her together, his face turned red, especially Yuan Qi looked at her, feeling very uncomfortable, they could be regarded as having their own ghosts in the matter next to the full moon ancient well just now, but no one refused to use this as a topic, just suspicious of each other.

"What's wrong with you?" Wan Qian felt that the atmosphere was strange.

"It's nothing, by the way, senior brother must be hungry, I didn't eat much one night, it's better to ask Xiao Er to make something to eat, it's supper, let's have a reunion dinner together." Yuan Qi said.

"Yes!" Wan Qian nodded.

"I'll go!" Mo Li hurriedly pushed the door and went out.

"What's wrong with her?" asked Wan Qian

Yuan Qi was also puzzled, and guessed: "Maybe you are homesick! Senior brother, do you have a family?"

"Family!" Wan Qian was stunned and said, "I was taken to Qingchengmen by Master when I was very young, and there was Ling'er at that time, and when I was eight years old, I met Wan Ting again, if you want to talk about family, these people can be counted!"

"Senior Sister Ting, did you enter Qingcheng later?" Yuan Qi remembered that Wan Ting had talked about how she had wandered in the barren mountains with her father before.

"Yes!" Wan Qian nodded, "I came with the sword-wielding elder!"

"Master brought the entry?" Yuan Qi was surprised, this was the first time he had heard of it.

Xiao Er pushed the door in, and a table full of sumptuous meals was placed.

"Senior Brother Wan, are your injuries better?" asked Mo Li as he entered the room.

"It's much better, the internal injuries still need to be recuperated, and when I return to Qingcheng, I will heal slowly!" Wan Qian signaled.

"What about later, what happened to Senior Sister Ting later, and what about my master?" Yuan became interested and couldn't help but ask.

"Senior Sister Ting came to Qingcheng, and the master accepted her as a disciple, and many people were not convinced at that time, but for some reason, the master just insisted on this, and he couldn't stop it, as for your master, he was appointed as the new sword elder within a few days of arriving in Qingcheng. ”

"That's not right, I see that the other disciples don't treat Senior Sister Ting very well!

"Yes, yes, yes, I don't understand this matter, but I just listened to what Senior Brother said about the fate of God, and they all told me to stay away from Senior Sister Ting!" Mo Li was also puzzled.

"In fact, these can't be blamed on those disciples, at that time, Qingcheng experienced a big war, and the connection world was also destroyed, the dead and wounded of the elders in the door, it was difficult to endure any toss, I remember that it was the first Mu Jian Festival after Senior Sister Ting came, the master led the three of us to hold a sword ceremony, and halfway through, the sky changed sharply, and the sky was shrouded in black fog, which was really ominousWan Qian explained as he ate.

"It turns out that it's my master again!" Yuan Qi couldn't help but mutter.

Wan Qian glanced at Yuan Qi and said: "Actually, over the years, Senior Sister Ting has not been known to others, I have seen Ling'er the most clearly, very friendly, never cause trouble, think about people everywhere, there is no sign of heaven, we can't believe the incident back then, we can't believe it now!"

"Sister Ting must be very aggrieved, right? I have no friends or relatives in Qingcheng for so many years!" Mo Li said.

"It's okay, at least she still has me and Senior Sister Ling'er!" Wan Qian said lightly.

Wan Qian's words silenced the two of them, and they both felt sorry for Wan Ting.

"Come and eat, the food is cold! Let's have a drink, happy Mid-Autumn Festival!" Wan Qian greeted.

In the forest, next to the full moon ancient well, a black shadow appeared silently, the soft moonlight suddenly darkened, as if a big murderous thing appeared, this is a middle-aged man, dressed in black, slender, calm as a literati, around thirty years old, under the gentle face, giving people a sense of stability, it can be seen that this person is also a beautiful man when he is young.

With his arrival, several demon disciples appeared, respectfully surrounding this person, showing even more the extraordinaryness of the middle-aged man.

"Master!" The man who was chasing Wan Qian just now knelt on one knee in the middle.

"How are things going!" the man in black turned his back to everyone, staring down at the full moon Gujing with some fascination.

"This, Master, disciple... The disciple almost caught Wan Qian!" In the cold weather, cold sweat broke out on the man's forehead, and he explained, "I just didn't know that a kid suddenly appeared in the middle of the way and rescued Wan Qian!"

"Boy?" said the man in black, "can you see who it is?"

"The disciple doesn't know his name!" the man lowered his head, "Please also ask the master to punish him!"

"Door master, Brother Ning doesn't know, I know, this person's name is Yuan Qi, and he has just entered Qingcheng!" A black mist emerged, manifesting a man holding an iron fan, who was poisoned by Yuan Qi in Qingcheng.

"It turned out to be the nephew of the poison master, and it is really extraordinary! It seems that your master is really a successor!" the man in black smiled and said, "I don't know if your master has come together." ”

"The master of the door has passed the award, and the master and his old man are still in retreat in the temple, and he has not yet left the gate, but the master is very interested in the plan of the master of the door, so he sent me to take the first step, and his old man will be able to arrive later!"

"Eh?" the man in black put away his smile and asked rhetorically, "What do you think should be done about this matter?"

"The master of the door is serious, it's just a matter of doing it, and I am willing to help Brother Ning atone for his sins and take down Wan Qian and Yuan Qi!"

"Then follow what the poison master nephew said!" The man in black ordered, "Ning Tu, you and the poison master nephew will lead people forward, and you must get rid of Wan Qian for me, understand?"

"Yes, disciple obeys!" Ning Tu beckoned a group of demons to leave.

The man in black stood still and didn't move, and after a long time, he let out a sneer: "The old guy of the poison god relied on the old man and sold the old man, and sent a disciple here, but he nested in the place where the bird didn't, it was best for him to never appear!"

"The poison god's personality is arrogant, it's hard to succeed!" A gray figure came from the darkness, it was the masked gray-clothed man Wan Qian was pursuing, "It's the Tianchi Blood Demon that is already ready, just waiting to cooperate with the action!"

"Why don't you take it personally?" the man in black asked in a cold voice.

The man in gray was silent, only a pair of starry eyes met the man in black.

"Are you still worried about Qingcheng?" the man in black said faintly, "A Qingcheng, why do you have such a deep obsession, one day these two words will kill you!"

The man in gray said lightly: "Senior brother, do you really want to do this?

"Turn back, the matter is a foregone conclusion, what is the head?" The man in black was very indifferent, his right hand stretched out, and a big tripod appeared in his palm, and the birds and beasts in the forest seemed to be frightened by something, and they all flew away quickly.

"It seems that my induction just now is not wrong, the child you lost back then is around here, is his name Yuan Qi? What a good name!" the man in black stared at the man in gray and said faintly.

The ancient tripod was rapidly enlarged, and the strong sacrificial sound sounded in the forest, which was vaguely visible, and there were two blood-red breaths swimming around like fish in the tripod, full of mystery and ominousness.

"Do you want to do it again?" asked the man in gray.

The man in black stared at the two red breaths in the ding, and suddenly smiled: "Of course not, too many of the same things have happened, it will always cause others to be on guard, and besides, this heart-devouring spell in the ding has not yet fully appeared, it is too early to say it, but this Yuan Qi is afraid that it will be difficult to escape from the palm of my hand!" The man in black stretched out his finger and pointed to one of the blood colors in the ding.

"Don't be too happy, Ning Tu's trick to clear the heart, if Wan Qing knows, it is easy to infer that you are still alive, you must know that Wan Qing is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp! Not to mention that there is an even more mysterious Tuke beside him!"

"It seems that the junior brother still doesn't know Wan Qing well enough, so it's okay not to say it. Let's see if his apprentice can go back alive!As for that Tuke, it is indeed very tricky, if you can find out his origin, you may be able to save some effort when dealing with him in the future!" The man in black stretched out his hand, Da Ding shrank, submerged into his body, and said faintly, "Withered junior brother, those who become big things are not informal, for my brother, I hope you must not let the past things affect your future!"

The man in black still left.

Next to the ancient well, Ku Jue was silent, slowly stretched out his hand, untied the mask on his face, and revealed a familiar face, which was the Gu Uncle Yuan Qi had been looking for.

Seeing the ancient mirror, Ku Jue slowly stepped forward, hesitated for a moment, and still lowered his head to look into the depths of the ancient well.
