The girl took Wei Shiqi through the peach forest and came to an open valley. Surrounded by two mountains, the valley was as warm as spring. There were large and small wooden houses and thatched cottages, hidden among the green trees and ancient vines, like a fairyland. .
"Take me to find your master."
Wei Shiqi muttered calmly, "I am also here for the first time..." He casually found the nearest one. He knocked on the door of a wooden house, but no one answered. When he opened the door and went in, he saw a stocky man squatting in the corner, staring at him intently, but he looked somewhat familiar.
"Senior Brother, where is Taoist Master Yunhe?" He suddenly remembered the day when the cavalry team arrived at the foot of Tiandu Peak, leading the leading horse, amid the jingling of camel bells, The outer disciple who unloaded one bag of rice, noodles and vegetables was the man in front of him.
After waiting for a long time and receiving no response, Wei Shiqi said patiently: "I am Taoist Master Yunhe's disciple. I have something important to report, so I would like to ask my senior brother for your convenience."
The man raised his finger and pointed to the northwest and said: "Under a crooked-neck tree is the residence of Senior Brother Yunhe. Also, you should call me Senior Uncle. There is no harm in calling me higher in seniority."< /p>
Wei Shiqi was not angry, crossed his hands and saluted: "Thank you, uncle, for pointing me out." He exited the wooden house and closed the door.
"Girl, please come with me." Wei Shiqi headed northwest first, bypassing several towering ancient trees, passing several dilapidated wooden houses, and saw a crooked-necked tree in the distance, as if blown by the strong wind. Fufeng bent down and saw a small thatched cottage under a few sparse branches and leaves.
"That's it."
The girl nodded and walked towards the thatched cottage. Although Wei Shiqi felt that she was being reckless, he followed closely. Between the girl and her grandmother, he placed his bet on the former.
Pushing open the leaky door panel, there is no one in the thatched cottage. There is only a table, a chair, and a bed. That's it. There is half a cup of residual tea on the table, and a thin quilt is spread out on the bed. It really corresponds to the scene of "when people leave, the tea will cool down".
The girl pointed at the thin quilt and said: "There is something underneath."
Wei Shiqi stepped forward to lift the quilt and saw a flat figure stuck to the bed board. Pi, I didn’t recognize him at first glance, but after a closer look, who else could he be if he wasn’t Qi Yunhe, a sloppy old man?
"It's Master's human skin. Grandma is gone."
"She fled from Flowing Stone Peak to here. She was seriously injured. The Great Sun Fire breaks out every seven days. , the pain is too much, and now she is probably sneaking into some "underworld" to suffer, and will not come back until this hour has passed."
Wei Shiqi rolled up the master's human skin, and didn't mind it being dirty, so he went straight to it. Tucked under the arm. The girl looked at him with a smile and praised: "Filial piety is commendable. There are fewer and fewer people with a conscience like you."
Wei Shiqi lowered his head and was silent, thinking: "This It has nothing to do with conscience, Qi Yunhe led me to the Immortal City, and I sent him on his last journey, and we will not owe each other anything from now on." His silence fell in the eyes of the girl, and there was a little more approval.
The two walked out of the thatched cottage. The girl jumped lightly and stood on the top of a crooked tree, looking around. After a while, she jumped down from the tree and said: "Follow me, don't move, you won't fall down." "It's fun."
She grabbed Wei Shiqi's arm, waved her sleeve, and a sword light took the two of them flying into the air, passing dozens of miles in an instant, and landed in the deepest part of Qiutao Valley. In front of a cemetery. Wei Shiqi experienced flying with a sword for the first time. He was a little excited, but soon calmed down, just like kissing a girl for the first time in his previous life.
It was close to noon, the moment when the Yang energy was strongest, but there was an inexplicable chill everywhere. Countless stone tablets stood in the soil, of various sizes, as far as the eye could see. All the dead disciples from the outer sect of the Immortal City are buried here. Even if they die*, their bodies will be transported back here for burial. Sooner or later, this will be their destination.
"See clearly, don't speak without my instructions. It's for your own good." The girl warned Wei Shiqi a few words, took out a small jade whistle, put it to her mouth and blew hard , a clear and loud whistle shot straight into the sky, with thousands of twists and turns, and the lingering sound lingered for a long time.
"This is the East China Sea White Jade Whistle, does it sound good?"
Wei Shiqi shook his head without saying a word. The girl was stunned for a moment, and her branches trembled with laughter.
A sword light flew from the southeastern peak and headed straight for Qiutao Valley. Immediately afterwards, two more sword lights flew out from Changying Temple on Xianyun Peak and landed on the girl in an instant. In front of you.
There were two Taoists coming from Changying Temple, one in front and one behind. The Taoist in front was in his forties, with a gray face and a worried look on his eyebrows. The Taoist in the back was His face is like a crown jade, but his appearance is somewhat similar to that of Xu Li.
Coming from the southeast peak was a tall man in Tsing Yi, accompanied by a seven or eight-year-old boy with braids that skyrocketed to the sky. His eyes were round and round, and he was very clever.
The ashen-faced Taoist is Xi Huzi, the headmaster of Xiandu, the one with a jade-like face is Xu Li’s uncle Deng Yuantong, the man in green is Qidu of the Pingyuan sect, and the one with the sky-high braid is his disciple Sun Ergou.
Xi Huzi raised his long eyebrows and was quite surprised. He bowed politely to the girl and said, "I didn't know that Fairy Ruan came from afar and missed the welcome. Please forgive me!"

The girl turned sideways and said with a smile: "The Taoist priest is too polite, I don't dare to take it as a fairy. I was ordered by my master to hunt down two beautiful pythons, but they lost their whereabouts in the Qianren Peak area, so I had to ask the Pingyuan sect to Brother Qi helped and killed one, and the other fled into Xianyun Peak. He was supposed to visit the Taoist priest in Changying Temple as soon as possible, but unfortunately he was greedy for a few peaches outside Qiutao Valley, and after being delayed for a long time, he met a tester. Disciple Lian, after chatting for a while, I found out that the beautiful python took the form of Taoist Yunhe and was hiding in the cemetery of Qiutao Valley. "
Xi Huzi glanced around and knew that Wei Shiqi was there. The human skin under the armpit is Qi Yunhe, and the beautiful python is lurking underground to absorb yin energy and nourish the body. There was always something wrong between Xiandu and Pingyuan, so he did not want to take action and ordered: "In that case, Yuantong, go and capture the beauty python.", leave it to Fairy Ruan for disposal. ”
