Chapter 32: Returning Home

Halloween, a terrible name, at first glance, it is easy to associate people with ghosts and gods, and the folk have Halloween sayings, the masks of gods and ghosts seem to be alive in an instant.

Hearing this name, a haze flashed in Yuan Qi's heart, and he was also surnamed Wan.

"What about him?" asked Yuan Qi.

"He hasn't been back for a long time, and there are all kinds of signs that the person is probably dead!" Wan Qing's face showed a kind of sadness, he remembered that when his younger brother left, the eyes with hatred in despair, no crying, no tears, it was such a look, so that he had a period of time when it was inevitable day and night, every time he closed his eyes, he could see his younger brother holding the woman and jumping off the cliff, that is, at that time, the little junior brother left Qingcheng Mountain and never came back. Since then, he has been the only one left in the entire Qingcheng Mountain, which has become a dead knot in his heart.

Yuan Qi frowned, he always felt that he had heard the name of Wansheng somewhere, and every time he said it, his head would hurt inexplicably, and he shook his head hard, maybe he was thinking too much.

"Yuan Qi, this is a divine introduction, you have to practice hard!" Wan Qing suddenly had a booklet in his hand and handed it to Yuan Qi, "Although the injuries on your body are healed, the demonic energy in your body has not disappeared, if you don't seek a solution, sooner or later you will enter the demon, this is the divine introduction in the magic trick, which can help you stabilize your divine sense, condense your mind, and not be controlled by demonic nature!"

"To the void spirit, to the subtlety, strong name, for the great ....." Yuan Qi opened the book and read a few words lightly, and found that this was the few scriptures taught by Wan Qing at the Fairy Sword Conference, and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, master!"

"Don't be in a hurry to thank you first, this can only help you suppress it temporarily, the key is to depend on your original heart, if you want to completely eliminate it, unless you can find the supreme heart method of Penglai back then, Bing Xinjue!" Wan Qing said.

"Ice Heart Formula!" Yuan Qi muttered.

"Yes! This Ice Heart Secret is a secret that Penglai does not pass on, and even within Penglai, there are only a handful of people who can cultivate! It is even more difficult for you to get it than to ascend to the sky!" Wan Qing sighed.

Yuan Qi didn't say anything, just silently wrote down these three words.

Time passed quickly, unconsciously, they had been in the inner hall for a day, I have to say that Qingcheng Mountain is rich in heritage, and all kinds of treasures are endless, which really opened Yuan Qi's eyes, and under the urging of the head of the house, several people reluctantly walked out of the library pavilion.

"Let's all go back and rest!Leave early tomorrow morning!" Wan Qing sealed the inner hall and said, "Mo Li, your master has something to tell you, go quickly!"

"Ahh

"Let's go, return to the Palace of Love!" Wan Qing said.

"Master, I won't go back!" Behind him, Yuan Qi's voice came, "I'm going down the mountain tomorrow, I want to go back to the Sword Pavilion tonight!"

"Yes, you can go directly to the Sword Cliff early tomorrow morning to meet Wan Qian!" Wan Qing agreed.

"Yes, disciple understands!" Yuan Qi responded.

Wan Ting looked at Yuan Qi worriedly, the last incident seemed to be still in front of her, and Yuan Qi seemed to know what she was thinking, and smiled at her, saying that it was okay.

"Let's go!" Wan Qing reminded with a frown.

"Yes!Master!" Wan Ting and Wan Qian followed Master Edgeworth away, leaving Yuan Qi alone and waving at Wan Ting in the sky.

Zhijian Pavilion, after Tuke left, this place was much deserted, in the past three days, there would be people visiting, but now it is empty, no one has come for a few days, those stone tables and stone benches have been contaminated with dust.

Yuan Qi wiped silently alone, for him, this is the second home, he firmly believes that the master will come back one day, so he is very kind to this place, and he wants to clean it before going down the mountain.

Tuke's long journey, so that I have no secrets here, Yuan Qi pushed the door in, walked into the master's study, on the bookcase, several red pamphlets were neatly placed, which was specially prepared for him by the master before leaving, and Yuan Qi was very careful to put it in his arms.

"What is this!" Yuan Qi was puzzled, and in the corner of the study, he found a yellow pill that had fallen to the ground, very similar to the master walking up and down.

Yuan Qi thought about it, and finally took the pill into his arms.

It wasn't until late that Yuan Qi returned to his room, lying on the bed, quietly looking at the starry sky outside the window, he thought of the tragedy in Bodhi Village, and said to himself: "Uncle Gu, will you go?"

Early in the morning, under the cliff of unloading the sword, Yuan Qi carried a wooden sword on his back, dressed in gray, and stood there in high spirits.

Wan Qing took Wan Qian, Wan Ting and Mo Li and the three of them came slowly, and when they saw that Yuan Qi had arrived early, they were all stunned.

"You're here early!" Wan Qing said with a smile, "The Dharma Ministers of Bodhi Temple have already gone to Chiba City one step ahead of you!"

"Boss, I'll .....," Yuan Qi said hesitantly.

"It's okay, I understand what you mean!" Wan Qing turned around and ordered, "Chiba City has him first, we are not in a hurry, the Bodhi Village under the mountain is not far away, you go and investigate first!"

Yuan Qi was overjoyed: "Thank you, boss!"

"Alright, without further ado, let's go down the mountain!" Wan Qing said.

"Yes! Disciple obeys!" the four of them said goodbye, the fairy sword flew up, and they all brushed the sword away.

"It's time for me to move my muscles, too!" Wan Qing let out a whisper, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a kind of cleverness. At the same time, his whole person gradually blurred, like smoke, dissipating into the air, without a trace.

In Bodhi Village, the sun was shining, and four sword shadows fell from the sky, and a strong smell of blood came to the face, and on the faces of the corpses, they were full of fear and fright.

"Uncle Wang, uncle, Xiaobao!" Yuan Qi trembled, flipping back and forth among the corpses, there were people he was familiar with.

The faces of Wan Qian and the others were also ugly, some things, listening to them is one thing, seeing with their own eyes is another, such scenes are really angry.

Wan Ting walked over, patted Yuan Qi's shoulder gently, and comforted: "Don't be sad, we will all help you." ”

"Yes, Senior Brother Yuan, you have to cheer up at this time, the most important thing at the moment is to find the murderer and avenge the dead villagers!" Wan Qian was calmer, after all, he was a senior brother, and he had seen a lot of scenes, so he proposed, "Let's look around first and see if the murderer has anything missing, don't leave Senior Sister!"

"Ah, Senior Brother Wan is right, Brother Yuan, don't be sad, if we work together, we will definitely be able to catch the murderer!" Mo Li said.

"Thank you!" Yuan Qi restrained his sadness, stood up, and said, "Then let's look for it first!"

"Well, let's look for it together!" Wan Ting was worried that Yuan Qi was cranky, so she took the initiative to ask to join him.

Yuan Qiqi nodded, looking at this scene in the village, he didn't think that everyone could find anything, all the villagers were sucked dry blood to death, according to Uncle Li's description, he was sure that it was the Tianchi Blood Demon, he didn't hide it at all, so even if he found something, it was useless at all.

As he expected, after a while, Wan Qian came back and shook his head, indicating that he hadn't found anything.

"I haven't found it here either!" Mo Li also came back and said, "This smells of blood everywhere!"

Wan Ting said: "So are we!"

Seeing that the three of them were all looking at him, Yuan Qi thought for a while and said, "Why don't I take you to the hut where I live?"

"Okay!" Wan Qian nodded, "It's not a way to stay here, let's find a place to settle down first!"

"You come with me!" Yuan Qi walked towards Bodhi Lin, and at the entrance of the forest, he suddenly stopped, seemed to have developed, turned back to Mo Li and asked, "Sister Mo Li, what did you just say?"

"I didn't say anything!" Mo Li wondered.

"That's what you said when you came back just now!" Yuan Qi seemed to catch something.

"She said it smelled of blood!" Wan Qian reminded.

Yuan Qi wrinkled his nose, sniffed vigorously, took a few steps back, and finally walked under a willow tree, and said, "Do you think that the smell of blood here is particularly strong?" ”

"Yes, that's true!" Wan Qian was also observing, and said to the others, "Look and see what you find." ”

"Ahh

Looking along her fingers, it was a red animal skin, still stained with blood, Yuan Qi held it in his hand, carefully observed, and a little blood fell to the ground.

"This seems to be the skin of some beast!" Wan Ting said.

Yuan Qi closed his eyes, his whole body was full of aura, he sensed this animal skin carefully, and judged: "There is still a demonic qi left in it, it should be the Tianchi Blood Demon!"

"But what is the use of this piece of skin?" Mo Li asked.

Yuan Qi shook his head, took out a piece of white cloth and said while wrapping it: "For us, the name Tianchi Blood Demon is just hearsay, no one has ever seen it, if you have this, you can save a lot of trouble." ”

"Qi machine induction!What Senior Brother Yuan said is right!" Wan Qian suddenly realized.

"In front of me is the wooden house where I used to live!" Yuan Qi pointed to Bodhi Lin and took the lead.

Returning to Bodhi Forest, Yuan Qi felt a sense of sadness, he gently shook the wind chimes on the tree, and sighed that it was nearly a thousand, there was no change here, the only change was people.

"What a beautiful wind chime!" Mo Li also stepped forward and asked, "Brother Yuan, did you make it?" ”

Yuan Qiqi nodded and explained: "The Bodhi Forest is against the mountain, so there are often wild beasts infested, this is the mechanism I set up when I was a child, once a wild beast approached the wooden house, these wind chimes would ring. ”

Crossing the wind chimes, several people came to the place where Yuan Qi had lived for many years, it was very messy, the old locust tree in the courtyard was full of green leaves, the breeze blew, rattling, and the fallen leaves were piled up all over the yard.

Yuan Qi stood in the courtyard, speechless, everything here came to his mind, especially remembering when he was a child, he had a serious illness, after waking up, Uncle Gu took the gruel, it was here to feed himself one bite at a time, now it has been ten years in a flash, although it is very ordinary here, but let Yuan Qi learn a lot of ways to survive, although it is not as good as those flying away abilities, but in the world, Yuan Qi understands a lot.

Looking up at the locust tree, the traces of carving on it were already faint, Yuan Qi let out a sigh, sometimes, time can really smooth everything, at the beginning, he was obsessed with carving, ignoring many things. Now that I look back and come here again, I can't help but feel a lot of emotion in my heart.

"It's been a long time since anyone has been here!" Under the locust tree, Mo Li was a little smart, trying to hug this ancient tree.

"Why don't we all clean up this place!" Wan Ting suggested.

"Okay!" Wan Qian responded, and at the same time he gave Wan Ting a look.

Wan Ting understood, came to Yuan's side, and comforted: "The past is over, now you still have our friends, everything will be fine!"

Yuan Qi looked at Wan Ting, the woman he loved, dressed in white like snow, and the whole person was born like a lotus, without a trace of red dust.

Wan Ting was confused by him, and asked with a red face, "What do you see me doing!"

Yuan Qi didn't say anything, just raised his right hand, placed it across her head, and gently threw down a leaf.

Wan Ting suddenly realized, remembering what Wan Qian looked like just now, it turned out that at some point, a leaf fell on her head.

Her face turned even redder, and she said in a panic, "I'll go clean up!"

After cleaning up, the yard has been renewed, and seeing that it is getting late, I decided to stay here.

At night, the bonfire was rising, and the four of them drank the gruel that Wan Ting had gotten and sat around the bonfire.

"Eat, there are no ingredients here, I can only find this!" Wan Ting said with concern when she saw Yuan Qi in a daze.

"Thank you!" Yuan Qi stretched out his hand to take it, took a sip gently, and found that it was quite delicious, so he unconsciously drank a few more sips.

"How's it going?" Wan Ting asked.

"Well, it's much better than Uncle Gu's!" Yuan Qi praised.

Hearing Yuan Qi's praise, Wan Ting lowered her head and a smile appeared on her face.

Yuan Qi put down the dishes and chopsticks, looked at Wan Qian, and said, "Senior brother, I want to put a fire early tomorrow morning and let those villagers settle in the ground!"

"It should be!" Wan Qian nodded: "It's not a way for us to wait here, Chiba City can't delay too long, let's all help you tomorrow!"

"Hmm!" Yuan Qi responded, looked at Mo Li, who was sitting opposite, and asked, "Mo Li, do you have something on your mind, you have been distracted lately?"

"No, I don't, Brother Yuan, I'm fine!" Mo Li was a little weak-hearted, and he snorted and said, "I'm just a little sleepy!"

"Okay, everyone go back to the house to rest, don't leave you and Senior Sister Ting, I and Senior Brother Yuan!" Wan Qian said.

Yuan nodded his head and looked at Mo Li suspiciously, always feeling that things were not so simple, but now he was in a state of confusion, how could he take care of others.

Sleepless all night, finally stayed up until the early morning, Yuan Qi opened his eyes, as if he had returned to the past all of a sudden, held the wooden sword in his hand, and was about to walk towards the Bodhi tree, he pushed open the door and saw Wan Ting appear in the courtyard, practicing the sword.

"Senior sister got up so early!" Yuan Qi stretched and asked, "What about Mo Li?"

"Senior Sister Mo hasn't gotten up yet!" Wan Ting said, "She's quite able to sleep, I didn't bother her, are you going out?"

"Yes!" Yuan Qi said mysteriously, "Senior sister, I'll take you to a place where I have been practicing swords since I was a child."

"Okay!" Wan Ting became interested, but looked at the room with some hesitation, "Then them!"

"It's okay, it's not far from here, let's go back as soon as we go!" Yuan Qi said.

"Okay, let's go!"

The two walked all the way, and after a while, a towering tree came into view, which was the Bodhi tree.

Wan Ting looked up, the boss with his mouth open, and said in surprise: "What a big Bodhi tree! It's at least a hundred years old! And the aura here is so strong! I've lived in the mountains for so long, I've never heard of it!"

Yuan Qi was also very surprised, he hadn't learned the immortal method before, and he didn't notice anything. Now standing under the tree again, I can clearly feel that the aura here is much stronger than outside. It seems that this Bodhi tree is not as simple as I imagined.

"Practicing under the tree can speed up your cultivation, this is really a treasure place!" Wan Ting said in surprise.

Yuan Qi nodded, suddenly he remembered something, took out the wooden sword left by Uncle Gu, he clearly remembered that night, he felt the breath of the Bodhi tree on it, it was this breath that made his wound inexplicably heal, maybe this sword has something to do with this tree.

As expected, the Dustless Sword shook violently and flew into the air uncontrollably. Yuan Qi's gaze was macro, and he saw that there was a broken cut on the branch above the Bodhi tree, and the hilt of the wooden sword was just right to be docked, and suddenly the entire Bodhi tree began to shake violently, and the surrounding aura gathered and was quickly absorbed by the dustless sword.

"Did your sword grow from this tree?" Wan Ting guessed.

This idea coincides with Yuan Qi, perhaps the reason why the Dustless Sword can have such great spiritual power is inseparable from this tree. After a long time, the sword automatically fell off and reappeared in front of Yuan Qi.

Yuan Qi observed carefully, and felt that the wooden sword seemed to have become longer, and the entire sword body was filled with a thick aura, and wisps of lines flickered from time to time.

"It's growing!" Yuan Qi was startled by his own thoughts, and turned over to observe carefully.

"It's strange! Wan Ting was also watching.

Yuan Qi held the hilt of the sword, and there was a coolness through the sword body, which made him feel very comfortable, and there seemed to be an inexhaustible strength in his body, he looked at Wan Ting and said, "Whatever, this is a good thing, senior sister, let's try it!"

Wan Ting was stunned for a moment, then reacted, pulled out the Qingying Sword, and danced together.

Under the Bodhi tree, a man and a woman, the sword was shining, Yuan Qi felt very good, as if he was tired, the sword in his hand flickered, and from time to time he transmitted the aura to replenish his consumption, and at the same time he found that his spiritual sense was much stronger than before, and the surrounding scenery was reflected in his mind bit by bit.

"Wait!" Yuan Qi stopped, looking left and right, looking for something.

"What's wrong!" Wan Ting asked.

"Shh~~~" Yuan Qi raised his finger and said, "Senior sister, did you hear any sound?"

Wan Ting listened for a long time and shook her head: "No?"

"It's the sound of the piano! It's coming from that direction!" Yuan Qi said affirmatively, pointing to the depths of the Bodhi Forest.

"Did you hear it wrong!" Wan Ting felt a cold wind blowing, and said, "Didn't you listen to this wind as the sound of the piano?"

"Be careful!" Yuan Qi grabbed Wan Ting, borrowed the Bodhi tree, and hid, and at the same time, the sound of wind chimes resounded in the forest.

"Whoosh~~Whoosh~~~~" More than a dozen men in black appeared and rushed in the direction of the sound of the piano.

Wan Ting patted her chest, she was almost found just now.

Yuan Qi thought for a while: "Senior sister, you go back and see Senior Brother Wan Qian, they are likely to be discovered!"

"What about you?" Wan Ting was a little worried.

"I'll go over and take a look, maybe I can find something, and then you can come here and have a round with me!" Yuan Qi said, "Don't worry, I'll deal with it, it's okay!"

"No, don't go on an adventure alone, let's go find Senior Brother Wan first, and then go together. Wan Ting shook hands and grabbed Yuan Qi and didn't let him go.

"Don't worry, my injuries are all healed, and the longer it drags on, the easier it is to have accidents, senior sister, this is the best way for you to listen to me!" Yuan Qi's eyes showed a hint of determination, and he forcibly pushed Wan Ting away, turned into a silver ray alone, and chased after him.

Wan Ting looked at Yuan Qi's back worriedly, turned around and flew towards the wooden house.

Yuan Qi galloped all the way, the terrain here, he was familiar with it, and after a while, he crossed the Bodhi Forest, and in front of him was Mangshan, where he often came to hunt when he was a child.

In Mangshan, the sound of the piano became clearer and clearer, Yuan Qi felt as if his head was about to explode, and he almost went mad, so he reacted in time, and silently recited the introduction chapter in his mouth, which stabilized his mind.

"It's not an ordinary piano sound!" Yuan Qi said in his heart, looking forward with a pair of eyes.

A black guqin stood in the void, on the guqin, red runes flickered, and a pair of white hands were plucking the strings back and forth.

It is said that it is a small hand, because the person who plays the piano is a child, no more than three feet tall, the most characteristic is the eyes, too evil, in the pupils, emitting a purple-red light, although the hands are small, but very flexible, with the rhythm of the speed, in the void of waves of piano.

"Could this be the legendary Soul Suppression Qin!" Yuan Qi was horrified, it is rumored that this qin symbolizes death and blood, and it is clearly recorded on the weapon score that the Soul Suppression Qin itself is forged from a coffin, full of ominousness, and its sound is mournful, which can amplify all desires and make people go to the abyss of depravity.

"Roar!!Roar!!" On the other side, a figure appeared, this was a middle-aged man dressed in black, with a burly posture and a face like a knife, and the roar was made by the red sword in his hand.

In the face of the wave after wave of qin, the man was not afraid, a red sword qi split out, and the rolling sound wave was cut, as if he had encountered a natural enemy, the sword roared, and frantically devoured the soul suppression qin.

Yuan Qi looked at the middle-aged man blankly, he was extremely excited, not because of the love-breaking sword, but because this person was the Uncle Gu he had been looking for.
