The three of them hurriedly exited the Yin Yang Ridge Stone Monument and found a sheltered mountain col to rest.
The red-eyed snake head was still biting Qi Du’s shoulder and refused to let go. Qin Zhen used the red-scaled sword to carefully cut open the snake head, only to see the fangs stab deeply. Penetrating into the bones and flesh, blood seeped out and dyed the clothes red. She pulled out the canines one by one and sprinkled the elixir into the wound, which stopped the bleeding immediately.
Qi Du gritted his teeth and said: "The red-eyed snake is not poisonous, it's just a flesh wound, it's nothing to worry about."
He lost a lot of blood, the chill came over him, and his teeth chattered. After hearing the sound, Wei Shiqi picked up some branches nearby and lit a bonfire. Qi Du sat by the fire and squinted his eyes for a long time before he felt relieved.
As the twilight grew darker, Wei Shiqi asked his junior sister to borrow a red scale sword, chopped the snake meat into pieces, strung them with branches, and roasted them on the fire. After a while, the aroma filled the air. The grease dripping in the fire squeaks, making people lick their fingers.
Wei Shiqi handed the roasted snake meat to Qi Du, who was so hungry that he reached out to take it, took a big bite, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it straight down his neck. In a short time, a large piece of snake meat was completely eaten. With food in his belly and his body warming up, he sighed and said stiffly, "Thank you both for your help."
Qin Zhen stood up in a hurry, not even daring to say a word. Qi Du was the same generation as Xi Huzi, When her master, Wei Rongniang, met her, she had to respectfully call her uncle, how could she dare to take credit and be arrogant.
Wei Shiqi said: "Uncle, you're welcome."
Qi Du looked at him a few times and asked: "Aren't you with Qingming? How did you get to the ghost gate? "Yuan is here?"
"I finally went down the mountain during the Qingming Festival and went to play in the town. I took a leave of absence and took the time to visit my classmates at Xianyun Peak. It happened that my junior sister mentioned that the three-eyed civet was here. There are many places in the Yin Yang Ridge area, come and take a look.
Do you remember it? That old thing, he nodded and said: "I heard that many trial disciples were killed in Xiandu Peak back then. It was probably the three-eyed civet who did it. After so many years, have you still not caught her?"
Wei Shiqi smiled bitterly and said: "It's easier said than done. The three-eyed civet cat is proficient in a weird magic. It can control the blood film to wrap the flying sword, and it can cut off the induction between the Tao embryo and the sword species. It is impossible to guard against it. Ordinary sword cultivators are not hers. Even the opponent, Master Xi, failed to keep her."
Qi Du was startled, his expression changed, and he was obviously very concerned about the three-eyed civet's blood film magic. Qin Zhen was surprised. She didn't know why her senior brother leaked Miao Zi's trump card to Qi Du. Was it out of good intentions or had other plans? She lowered her eyebrows and did not dare to raise her head, for fear that Qi Du would catch the clue and ruin her senior brother's arrangements.
"Uncle Qi, I heard..." Wei Shiqi hesitated for a moment and lowered his voice. He picked up the snake meat and stuffed it into his mouth.
Qi Du saw that he was hesitant to speak, and hummed: "If you have anything to ask, just say it, a man, don't swallow it"Tutu!
Wei Shiqi hesitated for a moment and said: "Now that I have left the Immortal Capital, I shouldn't ask any more questions. It's just... I heard that the headmaster Xi and the master uncle came together for the Soul Capturing Art." It's very unpleasant..."
Qi Du rolled his eyes and looked at him coldly, "Did Xi Huzi tell you that? "
"No, I heard Senior Brother Deng talk about it occasionally. "Wei Shiqi looked a little embarrassed. He subconsciously tore off a strand of burnt snake meat and rubbed it a few times, as if to cover up his gaffe.
"Deng Yuantong? What did he say? "
Wei Shiqi hesitated and said: "Well...it is said that Master Xi and his uncle discovered an abandoned cave, which contained the inner volume of the Soul Capturing Art. Uncle... secretly attacked him, and was attacked by Xi. The leader was defeated and only grabbed the last few pages of the volume on how to smelt Horcruxes..."
"You want to know the truth? No, you want the method to smelt Horcruxes? Or was it Deng Yuantong who ordered you to ask for it? "Qi Du is also a smart man. He thought many times and figured out his thoughts.
Wei Shiqi took out the bent iron rod from his sword pouch and said: "That day in Jietian Ridge, I followed Tian Lang Guokui fought with each other and ended up like this with just one blow. Senior Brother Deng said that if you can refine an iron rod into a Horcrux and absorb several souls, its power will be doubled. I kept this in mind and happened to meet my uncle... That’s what it means...”
This means That is, he happened to save Qi Du, and he hoped that Qi Du would give him the incomplete pages of the soul-stirring art as a thank you.
Qin Zhen couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this. When did his senior brother become such a philistine. , Talking to the elders, luckily he can speak out! She wrung her hands together, pursed her lips and lowered her head. This time, it was not that she was afraid that even Qi would see the clues, but that she really couldn't hold her head up.
Qi Du chuckled and said, "You are straightforward - okay, it doesn't matter if I give it to you, but you can ask Deng Yuantong to record a copy of the inner volume of the Soul Capturing Art and bring it over in exchange. It will be a thank you for your help! ”
“Thank you, uncle, for making it possible!” "Wei Shiqi looked happy, paused, and then said, "Uncle Master, I heard that you fought with Master Xi and got hit by his sword energy. Later, you went to Laoya Ridge to collect medicine, and you were approached by an enemy. There was a big fight. I killed the opponent on the field, is this happening?
Qi Du chuckled and said, "If there is such a thing, if there is no such thing, what does it have to do with you?" ”
“Uncle Master, I don’t know, but I was born as a hunter. Nineteen years ago, I was hunting in Laoya Ridge. I saw an immortal flying through the air from a distance, staggering and falling on the cliff. On the top of the mountain, the mountain collapsed, the ground cracked, and gravel flew everywhere. Later, I braved the courage to climb up the cliff. I only saw a deep pit, a few bits of dried black blood, and a faint blue sword pill, but my uncle was not careful. Left behind? "As he said that, Wei Shiqi held the sword pill in his hand and respectfully presented it to Qi Du.
Qin Zhen raised her head slightly, with a trace of doubt in her eyes. She had seen this sword pill with her own eyes. It was obviously made of Zangxue Sword, why did he say it was left by Qi Bu accidentally? Senior brother... what on earth did he want to do? Her heart was beating so hard that it almost burst out of her chest.
The purpose of QiduGuang was attracted by Jianwan and did not notice her. He gently picked up Jianwan with three fingers, frowned and looked at it carefully, and said: "This is not my thing..." Before he finished speaking, the Hidden Snow Sword flew across the sky. After being born, it passed through Qi Du's eyebrows, and the sharp blade whirled, cutting off one of his six Yang heads.
The head rolled down into the residual snow, and Qi Du died with his eyes closed. --
