"Why is everyone gone? Are we missing something?"

Standing at the door of Cao Zhien's house, Qingbai said with some confusion.

Qingbai and Zhao Yang found this place from the east of the tribe.

Cao Zhien's home is already the west of the tribe, and there are few families to the west.

But the two went all the way, but they didn't find anyone.

"Don't worry, aren't there a few more that haven't been found. ”

Zhao Yang walked over and patted Qingbai's shoulder and comforted.

But the two of them have already come here, and there are few left.

And the final result did not disappoint the two, the two went to the remaining ones, and sure enough, they didn't see anyone.

"Let's go to the martial arts training ground and have a look. ”

This time, Qingbai took the lead in speaking.

Zhao Yang nodded.

The two walked together in the direction of the martial arts training ground.

The martial arts training ground and the Gongfa cave are both at the foot of the mountain.

On weekdays, because the martial arts training ground is noisy, and sometimes there are even people competing here in the middle of the night, there are no people living around here.

As the two gradually approached the martial arts training ground, gradually, a noisy sound came.

As the two got closer, the voices grew louder.

And the speed of the two unconsciously increased.

"Why are you two only back now?"

Through the gate of the martial arts training ground, the two saw that there seemed to be a lot of people gathered inside.

Before the two of them arrived at the door of the martial arts training ground, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, blocking their steps.

"Uncle Cao, why are you here, my father and my mother?"

As soon as he saw the appearance of the person who came, Qingbai hurriedly asked.

"Yes, Uncle Cao, and my father and my mother!"

Zhao Yang followed and said.

Cao Pu, surnamed Cao, naturally has something to do with Cao Zhien's family!

If you calculate carefully, the two families should have been one family thousands of years ago, because the relationship was relatively far away, so Qingbai did not call each other uncles like Cao Liang, but called them uncles who were common and not easy to mistake.

"Because of something, your parents, and the rest of the tribe went to help. ”

"You children are left, for your safety, but also for fear that you will make trouble, so some people are left to watch you little ones. ”

Seeing that the two of them were a little anxious, Cao Pu hurriedly explained.

"What's the matter? Why hasn't anyone informed us?"

Qingbai asked.

"It's not that no one informed you, it happened in the afternoon, because of the limited manpower, only all the people who were still in the tribe at the time and the martial arts training ground were concentrated here. ”

"In the Five Pole Cave Mansions, each Cave Mansion has left an overseer, and the entire tribe has only six people, plus me. ”

"Naturally, I don't have time to inform you who went into the mountains to collect medicine. ”

Cao Pu explained to the two of them while wearing the two of them into the martial arts training ground.

In the martial arts training ground, it was crowded, and children of all sizes accounted for almost half of the martial arts training ground.

On weekdays, it is rare to see so many people come to the martial arts training ground together.

"Except for those in the Five Pole Cave Mansion, are the other children here?"

Qingbai asked.

"Yes, you two are the last to come back, and the others who went to collect medicine have already returned. ”

"If you two come back a little later, I'll have to look for it. ”

Cao Pu pressed his big hand on the heads of the two of them, rubbed them vigorously and said.

"And when will they come back?"

Zhao Yang asked.

"I can't say for sure, but when they're done, they'll come back. ”

Cao Pu pinched his chin and thought about it and replied.

"What the hell is going on, and why do you need so many people to go with you?"

Qingbai asked.

And when Qingbai asked this question, the other children around unconsciously surrounded him.

Others pricked up their ears and carefully observed the situation here.

"I can only tell you about the big things, and the leader has a clear explanation of what the specific things are, and I can't tell you anyone. ”

Cao Puyi said rhetorically.

"Cut, it's that sentence again. ”

As soon as Cao Pu's words came out, there was a burst of sighs among the children around him, obviously, it was not the first time they had heard this.

"Cut anything, go to cultivation, don't fool me around!"

"If you want to know something, when you turn around, go and ask the leader yourself. ”

Cao Pu said to this group of children with a cold face.

A group of children could only leave in a huff, of course, except for a few cultivators, most of them got together to chat.

Regarding this situation, Cao Pu also turned a blind eye.

"Wouldn't that be dangerous?"

Zhao Yang asked with some uneasiness.

"Don't worry, it's not dangerous, it won't take long to come back. ”

Cao Pu said in a relaxed tone as much as possible.

"Okay, let's go cultivate, or just chat with them. ”

Without giving the two of them a chance to continue to ask questions, Cao Pu pushed the two of them into the crowd, and he also rose into the air, landed in the stands, and sat in the position where Qingchangshan usually sits.

Although it is said that it is for them to cultivate, Cao Pu has no way to do this kind of behavior of gathering together to chat.

It's not that he can't control anything, but today's atmosphere is indeed a bit dignified.

Many of the children are worried about the safety of their parents.

Although he kept telling the children that there was no danger, he didn't know whether there was danger or not.

Qingbai and the two of them had nothing to do and mingled in the crowd, and the back basket containing the herbs was placed at home by the two of them.

The two of them were talking in the crowd.

Some of the more familiar people are not here, so they should have gone to the Five Poles Cave Mansion to cultivate.

Carefully calculating the time, today is almost exactly the time when they collectively go to the Wuji Cave Mansion once every ten days.

The rest of them here are older than them, but their strength should not have reached their level in Qingchang Mountain.

There are also those who are younger than them and have not yet started cultivating, so naturally, most of the noise in the martial arts training ground comes from them.

Just when the two of them had nothing to do and were wandering around here, suddenly, Qingbai seemed to sense something and hurriedly looked north.

Just before Qingbai turned his head, there was an explosion in the northern sky, and the space rippled.

The sound of the explosion seemed to be trying to suppress it, so it was muffled, but it still traveled far away.

The children, big and small, were all attracted by this voice, and even those who were cultivating retreated from their cultivation state, with an unconcealable tension in their eyes.

And Cao Pu flew directly into the air, ready to rush over at any time.

"Buzz!"

There was a sudden buzz in the air, and everyone present felt that their brains went blank for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, pillars of light of different colors rose into the sky.

There are hundreds of pillars of light.

The pillars of light formed a circle one after another, and after reaching a height of several zhang in the air, they suddenly stopped.

Then connect with each other.

In the end, a mysterious formation was formed.

The complexity of the formation was the most complicated that Qing Bai had ever seen, even if he superimposed the two formations today, it would not be as complex as one-fifth of this formation.

The center of the formation is like an eye, but the eye is tightly closed.

After the formation was formed, the hundreds of pillars of light seemed to have completed their task, or a little bit of a sense of powerlessness.

It slowly disappeared from the bottom to the top, and finally all merged into the formation.

Just when everyone thought it was over, hundreds of streamers suddenly rose into the sky.

If you look closely, you will find that there is a trace of scarlet blood in these various colored streamers.

However, because of the distance, Qingbai naturally couldn't see this bloodstain.

This streamer seemed to bring vitality to the formation.

After this short stream of light was injected into the formation, the eyes in the center of the formation suddenly opened.

It was a magic eye, the whites of the normal eyes were a deep black, but the eyeballs were demonic blood red.

Looking at that eye, Qingbai was stunned, and his eyes stared at that eye without blinking.

The same is true for others.

All of them stared blankly at that eye, as if they were enchanted.

"Bang"

There was a bang, and the area around the martial arts training ground was suddenly shrouded in a cloud of dust.

"Ahem......"

"Ahem......"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

"Ahem, the dirt you brought?"

......

The dust that spread throughout the martial arts training ground not only blocked everyone's sight, but naturally allowed everyone to take a breath of fresh earthy air.

"Don't even stare into that eye!"

Cao Pu's voice sounded in everyone's ears.

Someone looked for the sound, but was only blinded by the dust that filled the air.

The dust is so big that visibility is so low that you can't see your surroundings clearly.

When the dust cleared, although Cao Pu didn't let him look at that eye when he spoke, someone still quietly looked in that direction.

And there, that eye, along with the entire formation, had disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.

"Go back, your parents have already gone back. ”

Cao Pu didn't know when he was already standing on the edge of the stands, and he was looking down at the people in the martial arts training ground at this time.

"Are you back?"

"Let's go back and have a look. ”

"Let's go, let's go!"

As soon as a group of children heard that they could go, they scattered in a hurry, and ran to their respective homes in groups of threes and threes.

Left at the end, only the older children of Qingbai remained.

"You guys should go back quickly, cultivate hard after you go back, and it will depend on you in the future!"

Cao Pu looked at the people below and said again.

"Yes!"

Qingbai and these people replied respectfully before they dispersed one after another.

"Hey, pat the dirt!"

After walking a few steps, Zhao Yang patted his white arm and said a word, and then patted the dust on his body by himself.

Qingbai only then noticed that he was really disgraced at the moment.

Dust everywhere from head to toe.

That cloud of dust, you can guess that it is Cao Pu's masterpiece after a little thought.

And the reason why Cao Pu did this, maybe those children won't think much about it.

But they should be able to roughly guess this, not to mention that Cao Pu later added a sentence and asked everyone not to look at that eye. After waking up, everyone could feel a momentary mental trance.

"Gone. ”

At the door of Qingbai's house, Zhao Yang said to Qingbai.

Qingbai just nodded casually.

Those who say goodbye at every turn, among real friends, unless they don't see each other for a really long time, there are really few people who will say it.

Of course, it is normal for two unfamiliar people to say goodbye with a polite component.

"Go yourself, clean up the dishes and chopsticks, throw them here and wait for someone to wash them?"

"Shut up, Xiaobai, you don't have to worry about it, just wait for Huiniang to wash it. ”

As soon as Qingbai entered the door, Qing Changshan, who was sitting at the stone table, directly reprimanded.

And Zhao Xinyan, who was on the side, also hurriedly spoke.

"Mother, you go and rest, I'm fine anyway, I'll go wash it!"

Qingbai refused Zhao Xinyan's kindness, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table in three or two clicks, and ran into the kitchen.

Naturally, Qingbai didn't deliberately leave the dishes and chopsticks there, but he was in a hurry at the time, so he didn't have time to clean them up.

Although Qing Changshan and Zhao Xinyan concealed it well, the tiredness revealed in their eyes was difficult to hide.

Compared with Qingbai's gray face just now, the mental state of the two is the real gray face.

"Why are you so grumpy?"

"He has to go out and can't rely on us everywhere. ”

......
