Chapter 85: The Change of Qingcheng
After eating at the third uncle's house that night, he returned to his home and fell asleep.
It's just that in the middle of the night, after Yi Qiu got up, after going around his small mountain village, he flew in one direction with the clouds.
As soon as a glimmer of morning light appeared on the horizon, Yi Qiu was already on the bustling Qingcheng Street.
Walking into Qingcheng, Yi Qiu found that there were people in the city from time to time who were talking about something, and Yi Qiu was now eager to find his father's place in Qingcheng, so he didn't have any unusual expression.
However, along the way, I found that there was something to be discussed along the way, and at the same time, there were also groups of people rushing to the city lord's mansion, these people had groups of threes and twos, looking at their dress, businessmen, woodcutters, and reckless people, all of whom were among them.
When Yi Qiu's eyes flashed slightly, he couldn't help but release his divine sense to check what the people around him were talking about, and at the same time, he walked towards his father's place towards the address given to him by the third uncle.
It's just that Yi Qiu suddenly stopped after hearing the discussion of the people around him, and at the same time looked thoughtful.
"Hey, what a sin, the old Zhang family's baby was lost only a few months after it was born, and the Zhang family's sister-in-law is still in a coma. A woodcutter-like man sighed to the people around him.
"Yes, I don't know what happened to our Qingcheng A few years ago, although there were occasional children lost, but it was not like these two years, no, the hunter has not gone up the mountain to hunt, and the five-year-old baby who stayed in his home has been lost, although the hunter has inquired many times after coming back, but there is still no information. A group of peasants, apparently from outside Qingcheng, were talking.
When Yi Qiu put his divine sense on a group of businessman-like people, he heard that they were all angry and said: "My family's Tian'er, I studied in the 'Wenxiang Academy' in the city, and I didn't see my son come back for a few days. ”
"Aren't we businessmen working hard to earn some money just for the sake of our children? It's good now, all the famous academies in this city can be lost, let's go to the city lord's mansion and find the city lord to have an explanation." Another woman who looked like a merchant said with an angry face.
"What do you want to say? Although there are occasional bandits around our Qingcheng, but it has been a long time since our children disappeared at every turn, and we have worked hard to earn some money to pay so many taxes to the city lord every year, and the city lord must always take care of the safety of our city, right? If there is no peace, this city lord does not have to be the city. ”
The surrounding voices were angry in agreement, and at the same time, several streams of people gathered together and rushed towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Hearing this, Yi Qiu already understood what the situation was, and although Yi Qiu had the intention to go to his father's place first, he was caught in the middle of the flow of people, and couldn't help but rush towards the City Lord's Mansion with the flow of people.
With Yi Qiu's current cultivation, it is natural that he can easily break free from the dense crowd around him, but after the loss of his child, the misery and helplessness on the faces of the people around him, Yi Qiu saw it in his eyes, sighed slightly, and then went to the City Lord's Mansion together.
In Yi Qiu's heart, he already vaguely felt that the loss of these children seemed to have something to do with the task he took on this time.
Before arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, Yi Qiu found that there were already black people gathered in front of the City Lord's Mansion Gate Square, these people were divided into three categories at a glance, one of which was the stubborn armor guarding in front of the City Lord's Mansion, although there were occasional conflicts, but still no one was allowed to enter.
The other category is the Qingcheng people dressed in various clothes who are confronting the armor guarding the city lord, although there is a lot of noise and noise, but under the bright sword tip, no one dares to attack the city lord's mansion.
It's just the shouting and scolding in front of the city lord's mansion, wailing and crying and low crying abound.
As for the third category, Yi Qiu actually faintly felt a bit of mana fluctuations among these people, and after carefully perceiving it, he exhaled slightly, these places with mana fluctuations were only in the early stage of qi training, and only one of them had reached the realm of the middle level of qi training.
After passing through the Sunset Land and his party, coupled with Yi Qiu's current Qi Cultivation Great Perfection Realm, he naturally took a good look at these Qi Cultivation Beginner and Intermediate Levels.
Yi Qiu slowly walked to the periphery where there was no one, took out four talismans from the package, and after whispering a few words, he pinched the trick slightly, and these talismans flashed and disappeared in several directions, these are naturally the four communication talismans played by Yi Qiu, and some of the information here was told to several senior brothers who were still in the capital and Changyu City by means unique to the sect.
After doing this, Yi Qiu slowly exhaled a breath and looked casually at the crowd again, his face suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace and squeeze towards one place.
"Daddy, why are you here? Yi Qiu rushed forward and hurriedly shouted to a couple.
Who is this couple not Yi Qiu's father and mother? It's just that although Yi Qiu's parents are extremely tough now, their faces look haggard, and Yi Qiu's heart can't help but feel distressed and then tense, although he guessed something, but Yi Qiu couldn't believe what he guessed.
"Ah, it's Xiaoqiu, mother's autumn is back? Yi Qiu's father and mother were suddenly surprised when they saw Yi Qiu, and at the same time, Yi Qiu's mother hugged Yi Qiu in pain before she finished speaking.
Although Yi Qiu's father didn't do anything, there was also a loving look in his eyes when he looked at Yi Qiu.
Seeing that his mother-in-law was actually holding his own pain like this, the corners of Yi Qiu's eyes were also slightly rosy, and his heart couldn't help but sink.
Yi Qiu patted his mother's back slightly to show comfort, and at the same time whispered: "Mother, is something wrong with our family?
When Yi Qiu's mother heard Yi Qiu's words, she couldn't help but hug Yi Qiu three points tightly, as if she would never see Yi Qiu again as long as she gave her hand.
When Yi Qiu's heart ached slightly, he looked at his father: "Ah Dad, is something wrong?"
Yi Qiu's father sighed when he heard this, and said, "Since Xiaoqiu, you have found here, I think you know about the fact that you have an extra brother, right?"
Yi Qiu nodded slightly, and at the same time, a bad feeling struck.
Seeing Yi Qiu's expression, Father Yi continued: "In the past few years, your mother and I have also hoarded some silver taels, so I want to hand over Xiao Sanshi to an academy in this city, so that receiving enlightenment at a young age will naturally be beneficial to Xiao Sanshi's growth in the future." ”
Father Yi said that there was a slight hint of bitterness on his face, and then continued: "I just didn't expect that not long ago, the old master in the academy came to the house to say whether Xiao Sanshi was picked up by us, because Xiao Sanshi has not been in the academy for many days, and when your mother and I heard the news, it was like a bolt from the blue. ”
Speaking of this, Yi's father looked at Yi's mother, who was still hugging Yi Qiu tightly, and said: "Look at your mother, these days I have been getting thinner and thinner, in the city lord's mansion, the city lord only came out to explain when everyone was making too much trouble, saying that the guards in the city are still investigating this matter, and once there are eyebrows, they will inform everyone, but once or twice, it is okay, many times such a statement, as the city lord, he can't even find out the disappearance in the city, which is really chilling." ”
When Yi Qiu heard this, although he had already prepared in his heart, when he heard his father say this, he couldn't help but feel sad that his younger brother, whom he had never met, was lost like this.
"Except for the city lord, no one is investigating this matter?" Yi Qiu said puzzled.
"The biggest in this city is the city lord, and some other officials are now unbearable to the daily inquiries of the people in the city, and now almost all of them are hiding in the city lord's mansion, although during this period, there are many heroes who broke into the city lord's mansion to find out, but they are all arrested by the guards in the palace, and none of those who have been caught have walked out of the city lord's mansion, and now their whereabouts are unknown. Father Yi sighed.
Yi Qiu couldn't help but say coldly when he heard this: "The theft of children in the city has not been investigated, but the people in the city have been arrested, and the city lord is really a good method." ”
Saying this, a cold light suddenly flashed in Yi Qiu's eyes, and Father Yi on the opposite side couldn't help but shiver when he saw it, and couldn't help but look at Yi Qiu suspiciously.
Seeing his father's expression, Yi Qiu said embarrassedly: "The child has learned a little in the past few years, father, let's go back and find a way, now it's not a way to wait for the news of the city lord here." ”
Although Yi Qiu's parents seemed to look unusual after the loss of their second son, they then led Yi Qiu back to the house they had purchased in Qingcheng under Yi Qiu's persuasion.
At this time, Yi Qiu was naturally in no mood to look at the house that his father and mother had purchased in Qingcheng, as soon as he returned home, Yi Qiu took out a bottle of elixir, and after feeding his father and mother one pill each, after seeing that his father's face improved slightly, Fang relieved his heart slightly.
"Ah, Xiaoqiu, didn't Elder Peng say that you went to a great sect of cultivating immortals to learn the arts, why did you come back now?" Father Yi asked after being shocked after taking Yi Qiu's pill.
"The child went down the mountain this time because he took over the task of the sect, and this task now seems to have something to do with the disappearance of the younger brother!" Yi Qiu's eyes flashed slightly, and he said slowly.
"Ah, so that's the case, I thought it was the sect that drove you out, at the beginning, Peng Lao said to his father, Xiaoqiu, you can go home for a while, I'm afraid it will be decades later, I didn't expect to see my Qiu'er so soon. Yi Mu smiled slightly.
Immediately, Yi Qiu took out a few bottles of pills and handed them to his father, and after instructing him, he said with a smile: "Father, you don't have to worry, after the guards of the City Lord's Mansion are reduced at night, Qiu'er will go to the City Lord's Mansion to see how the City Lord is investigating." ”
When Mother Yi suddenly heard this, her face couldn't help but change greatly, and she hurriedly shouted: "This can't be done, my mother just lost your brother, if Qiu'er has any more mistakes, how can this be called a mother's life?"
Father Yi couldn't help but nod when he heard Mother Yi say this, and looked at Yi Qiu's eyes with a sense of eagerness, for fear that he would lose this eldest son again.
Seeing his father and mother like this, for the sake of calming his parents' hearts, Yi Qiu couldn't help but smile and take a few steps back, stretched out his left palm, and after a few breaths, his left palm first gathered a wind blade, and after slashing at a bowl in the courtyard, the cyan wind blade only flashed and disappeared into the tree, and in the surprised eyes of Yi Qiu's parents, he saw that the number slowly fell to the ground.
At the same time, after Yi Qiu condensed another fireball, he pointed at the big tree that fell to the ground, and the fireball turned into a graceful arc and fell on it, burning the number in a few moments.
When Yi Qiu's father and mother opened their mouths, Yi Qiu smiled slightly, and after summoning a cloud with his hand, he casually vacated in the air and made various poses at home.
After Yi Qiu fell, after a while, in the surprise of Yi's father, Yi's mother couldn't help but be overjoyed: "It turns out that my Qiu'er is now a fairy, if this is the case, my mother is a little relieved, but she still has to be careful." ”
Yi Qiu nodded and said yes, put aside these annoying things, just chatted with his father and mother about some interesting things, and finally amused his parents, the sky was already dark.
That night, while his parents were asleep, Yi Qiu changed into black clothes, saw the location of the City Lord's Mansion, and swept over.
