Chapter 64: Cangzhou No. 3
The woman and Qin Zichen chatted for a while, then turned around and walked out. After she went out, Qin Zichen frowned and began to think seriously, where on earth had he seen this woman?
This woman is familiar…very familiar.
He couldn’t help but have a headache, and then he thought, I don’t know where Su Qingyi is, is she looking for him?
He had to figure out a way to get out soon.
After Su Qingyi rested for a while in Tianjianzong, he slowly woke up. Dan Ran’s group guarded her. After seeing her wake up, Dan Ran hurriedly said, “Junior sister, are you alright?”
“It’s not bad……”
Su Qingyi propped herself up, and then saw Dan Ran being slapped on the head by Dan Hui, and scolded: “What is your name, senior!”
With that said, Dan Hui stepped forward and said with a smile: “I don’t know that Senior Su is a great master of Mahayana. I have offended my sect before, and I hope you forgive me.”
Su Qingyi was stunned for a while, and then realized that everyone knew that he had recovered from the Mahayana period. After pondering for a moment, he said seriously: “Qingyi was forced to hide in the Heavenly Sword Sect because of being forced to do so, but then she went to the Heavenly Sword Sect, Being a disciple of fellow Daoist Qin is sincere. If Jianzong is the Qingyi sect today, Qingyi will naturally protect him with his life.”
Dan Hui’s expression froze, and at this moment, Yun Xuzi walked in with a smile, clapped his hands and said, “Okay, just accept a disciple of the Mahayana period, the old man is very happy!”
Having said that, Yun Xuzi walked to Su Qingyi’s window, stared at Su Qingyi who was stunned, and said, “What’s the matter, disciple, don’t you know the old way?”
“Master… Master!” Su Qingyi came back to her senses and stammered out. Yun Xuzi laughed out loud, then sighed, and waved at the others, everyone looked at each other helplessly, turned and left.
After there were only two people left in the room, Yun Xuzi took a smile on his face, showed a sullen expression, and sighed: “Grandson, now my son Chen doesn’t know where to go, and only you can serve Laodao.”
Su Qingyi: “…”
“Okay, just kidding, Qingyi, can you gain something from this trip to Cangzhou?”
“Master, Master must not have fallen into the devil.” Su Qingyi raised her head and said seriously, “I went to the Evil Qi Center and found a message left by Master.”
With that said, Su Qingyi took out the sound transmission, and Qin Zichen’s voice rang again: “Cangzhou has changed, bring people here quickly.”
“What else?” Yun Xuzi thought seriously, Su Qingyi thought for a while, and then said it after seeing Qin Zichen in the evil spirit. Yun Xuzi frowned, and after a long time, he said: “You don’t need to think about the matter of Zichen, our top priority is to suppress the evil qi that is soaring to the sky, and then follow the vine to find out why this evil qi came from and who it is. What you do, Zichen’s work, may have an eye for it.”
“But……”
Su Qingyi spoke in a hurry, Yun Xuzi’s face froze, and he said seriously: “Qingyi, I know you are worried about Zichen, but you have to remember that before your son and daughter grow in love, you and I are both cultivators. There is a big right and a wrong, you should have a distinction between the front and the back. , Zichen, we will find it, but the first thing is to seal the evil spirit, you can understand.”
Su Qingyi was not talking, she pursed her lips. Yun Xuzi raised his hand and stroked the two slender swords on the bed, his eyes full of sighs: “If Zichen is here, think about it, what does he want you to do? If the lives of thousands of people are replaced by him alone More likely, will he be happy?”
Hearing this, Su Qingyi froze. After a while, she lowered her head and said slowly, “Okay…”
The two were speechless for a while, Yun Xuzi waited for a long time, seeing that Su Qingyi had nothing to say, patted her on the shoulder and said, “We have sent all the disciples we can send out to look for it, you can rest in peace, wait for you to rest well. Now, go to the Huanyin Palace with me. Xiao Su, the acting palace master of the Huanyin Palace, posted a post and invited each of the ten major sects to send a cultivator above the integration stage to discuss ways to suppress evil qi. Cangzhou is the director of the Huanyin Palace, when you go Squeeze your cultivation, but if there is a sudden change, it can be regarded as a precaution.”
“What does the master mean, afraid of a problem with the Magic Sound Palace?”
“Zichen and Huanyin Gong have had a festival, so be careful when you go to the enemy’s territory.”
Speaking of the festival between Qin Zichen and Huanyin Palace, Yun Zixu was a little embarrassed. After coughing, he said, “You should rest first.”
After Su Qingyi rested for a few days in Tianjian Sect, and his injuries were almost eliminated, Yun Zixu decided to set off. On the eve of departure, Xue Ziyu suddenly came to her house and said earnestly, “Qingyi, Ancestor Xuanhua has a request.”
In the face of Xuan Hua, Su Qingyi has a very complicated emotion. Generally speaking, if you can’t see her, you don’t want to see her. But the other party sent someone to invite her, which was probably not a trivial matter, so she went to Nanshan anyway.
When I went, Xuan Hua was sitting on the futon, and there was a portrait of a woman in front of the incense table. The woman had a beautiful face and there were many beauties in the cultivation world. However, this woman was still outstanding. Just looking at the portrait, she was amazingly beautiful. .
Xuan Hua stared at the portrait in a daze, and when he heard Su Qingyi coming, he didn’t look back. Su Qingyi walked behind him with her hands behind her, without saying much, she looked up at the portrait with him.
“Two thousand and three hundred years ago, I first saw Ninghua.”
Xuanhua looked at the portrait and said indifferently: “At that time, I thought that she would be my whole life. Then she left, and after a long time, I slowly discovered that the people in the past will eventually fade away in time. Even if you remember her beauty, her kindness, and your unswerving love for her, you will still be irresistible, letting time wear away her color and weight.”
Su Qingyi did not speak, but listened quietly. The moonlight fell on the woman’s face, making the woman feel a little fairy.
Xuan Hua closed his eyes and sighed: “Qingyi, last night I felt the way of heaven, my catastrophe is coming, this is a life and death catastrophe.”
“Life and death?” Su Qingyi recalled what Xuanhua had told her back then, that she and Qin Zichen were his doom, and could not help but be vigilant: “Could it be that your life and death is related to Zichen?”
“I don’t know.” Xuan Hua shook his head, waved his sleeves, and two jade tokens appeared in Su Qingyi’s hand.
“The jade card contains my three sword intents, you can use it to help you in times of crisis. The other is Xuan Luo Ling, as long as you pour spiritual power into the jade card, all those who have dripped blood on the Xuan Luo Ling People can appear by your side in an instant, but Xuan Luo order can be used at most once every ten days, remember.”
Xuan Hua said seriously. Su Qingyi pursed her lips and held the jade token in her hand. After a long time, she finally said, “Thank you.”
Xuan Hua didn’t speak, he looked up at the portrait, his voice was a little tired: “I am the ancestor of Tianjian Sect, I have always stayed in Tianjian Sect, and I will not go out of the mountain until a critical moment. If Zichen’s matter is related to my life and death, then There are bound to be many crises, so I can’t go out to help you in person this time, I hope you will be more careful and don’t be reckless.”
“Yes.” Su Qingyi handed over subconsciously, and after a while, she immediately reacted, feeling uncomfortable, she turned around and said, “I’m leaving.”
“Everything is careful.”
Su Qingyi ignored it and walked out.
The next day, she rushed to Cangzhou with Yun Xuzi. Yun Xuzi is a very troublesome person. He is obviously a Mahayana monk, and he has not yet fasted. He eats while walking along the way.
Su Qingyi was anxious in her heart. Every time she watched Yun Xuzi feed the flock of chirping poultry with a chicken leg in her mouth, she felt a little anxious. Yun Xuzi was very calm, and clapped the bran valley in his hand and said to her: “Don’t be anxious, disciple, you have to take your time for most of the things in this world. If you are too anxious, something will happen.”
“Could it be that the master thinks that there is something wrong with the Huanyin Palace’s trip?” Su Qingyi immediately detoured to the conspiracy, Yun Xuzi sighed, touched his chest, and said with a heavy face: “Old Dao just thinks, Lao Dao is an old man, rushing too fast. , panic!”
Su Qingyi: “…”
“However, you must have some good habits when walking in the rivers and lakes,” Yun Xuzi raised his hand, pointed to the surroundings and said, “Do you listen?”
Su Qingyi immediately probed out her divine sense, Yun Xuzi pressed her shoulders, shook her head and said, “No, no, listen with your ears?”
Su Qingyi didn’t understand very well, but she still followed Yun Xuzi’s words, calmed down and listened carefully to the voices around her. She was the one who opened the top sword bone, so she calmed down and listened, and slowly her heart became more and more stable.
The sound of insects, the rustling of leaves, the discussion of people in the tavern.
“Huanyin Palace has invited masters from the integration period of the ten major sects this time. I heard that all sects and sects are not at ease, and they have sent their own elites here.”
“Hahaha…Aren’t these idiots afraid of making the same mistakes as Penglai? In the secret realm of Penglai, all the rookies of the major sects have failed?”
“You don’t know about this fellow Daoist. I heard that all the disciples in Penglai were rescued by Daojun Jing Yan of Tianjian Sect, and their souls are in good condition.”
“Jingyan Daojun… ah, how could such a person fall into the Tao?”
“I heard that Xiao Yunyun, the master of the Huanyin Palace, used to be his fiancee?”
“What is the Palace Master of Huanyin Palace, she is still lying in the ice coffin and not alive! Now Xiao Su is the manager of Huanyin Palace!”
“Who is Xiao Su?”
“The legendary genius of the Huanyin Palace! The eighty-year-old Yuan Ying, the youngest elder of the Huanyin Palace…”
There was a lot of chatter, and Su Qingyi listened quietly. Yun Xuzi nodded and continued to feed his poultry. The two walked all the way to the Magic Sound Palace, and successfully became the last two people to go to the Magic Sound Palace.
Su Qingyi originally thought that when she arrived at the Magic Sound Palace, it would inevitably attract a lot of dissatisfaction. Who would have guessed that when she got here, she found that everyone was used to sitting in the usual position. A young man in black was sitting on the high seat. With a sneer, he said to the man in white next to him, “I’ll tell you, this fellow will never arrive on time, so don’t rush, you have to rush.”
“This is the black and white Shuangsha of Yijianmen. The black one is called Xiaohei, and the white one is called Dabai. When they were young, neither of them beat me.”
Yun Xuzi lowered his voice and introduced Su Qingyi. Although his voice was deliberately suppressed, none of the people present were high-level cultivators above the fit stage. He suppressed his voice and spoke as if he did not suppress it. Some kind of hit!”
“Old Daoist won’t fight with his defeated generals again.” Yun Xuzi shook his head, dragged Su Qingyi to the empty seat above, and sat across a golden seat from the black and white cultivator. Su Qingyi suppressed her cultivation and stood quietly behind Yun Xuzi, not daring to take a seat, the black-clothed cultivator snorted coldly: “Why, Tianjianzong has such a big face, even a Jindan cultivator can bring it?”
“This is my disciple and grandson, coming to see the world. And my disciple and grandson have a lot of experience in the way of formation, maybe he can come up with an idea?”
“There is Daojun Shen Zhu of Xingyun Sect, you can pull it!” The black-clothed cultivator disdainfully said, Yun Xuzi’s eyes fell on Shen Zhu, raised his hand and said, “Daojun Shen Zhu has reached the stage of integration? congratulations.”
Fu Xiu couldn’t just look at his strength based on his cultivation. Although Shen Zhu was in the out-of-body stage all the year round, he had already defeated two cultivators in the integration stage when he first entered the out-of-body stage, so no one dared to underestimate him at all. What’s more, he is now in the advanced integration period, and everyone is even more courteous.
Shen Zhu cupped his hands and smiled, and said gently: “Occasionally, it is luck.”
“Luck is also a part of strength,” Yun Xuzi said seriously: “My luck has always been better than Xiao Hei.”
“Smelly shameless, what did you say?!”
The black-clothed cultivator exploded, and the white-clothed cultivator grabbed him and reassured him, “Xiao Hei, don’t be angry.”
“What did you call me?!” The black-clothed monk widened his eyes angrily.
The monk in white: “…”
After a while, he seriously corrected: “Montenegro.”
When the two were arguing, a woman floated up. She was wearing a blue dress, holding a bamboo flute in her hand, with a gentle and steady smile on her face. After entering the hall, she bowed her hands and said politely, “Junior is late, and I hope all seniors will atone for their sins. ”
It was Xiao Su who was out of the body. Although she was already the acting palace lord of the Huanyin Palace, her cultivation and seniority were still a bit lower than everyone present. The crowd didn’t say much. After bowing their hands in return, Montenegro went straight to the subject and said, “How is the evil spirit now?”
“I invited Senior Shen Zhu to come and set up a formation next to the evil qi, temporarily suppressing the evil qi. Now I hope that all the seniors will come and help Senior Shen Zhu to completely suppress the evil qi together.”
“Oh?” Montenegro raised his eyebrows: “Do you have a way to suppress evil spirits, Fellow Daoist Shen Zhu?”
“In the past, Xingyun Sect was also ravaged by evil qi,” Shen Zhu smiled and explained gently, “Xingyun Sect has studied for a long time, and specially prepared a formation to suppress evil qi.”
Hearing Shen Zhu’s explanation, everyone was relieved, and there was a way. And Heishan stared at Shen Zhu’s eyes seriously, and after a while, sneered: “It turned out to be blind.”
The expressions of the people present changed. Su Qingyi looked at Montenegro coldly. Heishan drank a cup of tea with Erlang’s legs crossed, and changed to a comfortable posture: “Okay, now that there is a way, little friend Shen Zhu said it.”
Shen Zhu smiled and said the method without changing his expression. It was nothing more than that he set up the formation, and everyone poured spiritual power into the formation together, and used their spiritual sense to control the operation of the formation.
“However, this formation consumes a lot of spiritual energy, and the requirements for divine consciousness are also very high, so it is impossible to complete without relying on everyone…” Shen Zhu smiled, and the white-robed man beside Montenegro nodded and said lightly: “Suppressing evil energy is the responsibility of the entire cultivation world. It’s my own duty, so little friend Shen Zhu can rest assured.”
“That’s the case,” Xiao Su said with a smile, “Then seniors, please go back to rest first. After fellow Daoist Shen Zhu sets up the formation, the juniors will inform you.”
“It’s easy to talk,” Yun Xuzi waved: “The old man will take his disciples and grandsons to rest first.”
“The last to come, the first to go, Yun Xuzi, after so many years, you are still so shameless.” Heishan sneered, Yun Xuzi brushed off the dust and ignored him, and walked out with Su Qingyi. The cultivators present got up and went out, Shen Zhu stretched out his hand to hold the green bamboo stick next to him, and Montenegro didn’t know what was on his mind, he suddenly pulled the green bamboo stick into his hand and held it in his hand. After the green bamboo stick was removed, Shen Zhu frowned slightly, looked up at Montenegro, and said coldly, “Senior Montenegro, please return the green bamboo stick to me.”
“Yo, can you see? What are you pretending to be blind!”
Montenegro turned the green bamboo stick in his hand, dissatisfied. That is, at that moment, the sword intent suddenly overwhelmed the sky, and Montenegro’s complexion changed, that is, in an instant, a sword stopped in front of his nose.
This is an extremely gorgeous sword. The body of the sword seems to seal a lake of water on the sword body, and the ripples of the water can still be seen when the blue light turns.
The sword came so fast that he didn’t notice it at all, and he held it so firmly that it stopped in front of his skin without a trace of tremor.
He could clearly feel the icy chill of the sword, and looking along the sword, he could see that holding the sword was a woman who looked no more than eighteen or nineteen years old. She was wearing a blue robe and a white shirt, her hair was half-turned in a snake bun. His brows were full of chills, like the Daoist Jingyan who was invincible in kendo in the past.
Heishan sullenly, holding the green bamboo staff, looked at the Jindan female cultivator and sneered: “However, the mere Jindan cultivator dares to be presumptuous in front of this seat, do you want to die?!”
“Return the green bamboo stick to him.” Su Qingyi said coldly, Yun Xuzi whistled beside him, looked up at the ceiling, as if he didn’t see anything.
Montenegro’s complexion changed a bit, and finally he sneered: “Why, this fellow Daoist has taken a fancy to the appearance of this blind man? Are you Jing Yan’s apprentice? Jing Yan alone can’t satisfy you…”
Before he could finish speaking, the sword qi suddenly shot out from the tip of the sword, and Montenegro stepped back, and a long sword suddenly appeared. the other side!
Bai Shui’s complexion changed, and he jumped into the battle. Yun Xuzi turned his head and said, “Hey, Heishan Baishui, are you shameless? Two old monsters who have lived for two thousand years beat me, a disciple of Jindan stage? Tsk tsk, no wonder The two of them together didn’t beat me back then…”
Bai Shui blushed when Yun Xuzi said it, he held Su Qingyi with one sword and stopped Heishan with the other. Su Qingyi saw that Baishui joined the battle, and didn’t want to make a big deal, so she withdrew her sword stance, held a light sword, stood Wudao beside her, and looked at Montenegro coldly.
Holding the green bamboo stick in one hand and the long sword in the other, Heishan stopped in front of Bai Shui with a fierce face, and said coldly, “Bai Shui, let me see, let’s see if I don’t give this child some color today, she won’t understand…”
“Enough!” Bai Shui shouted angrily, raised his hand and said, “Give me the green bamboo stick! You are so bright with a Jindan stage junior, do you have a bright face?!”
Hei Shan’s face froze when Bai Shui said that, he snorted coldly, threw the green bamboo stick into Bai Shui’s hand, and turned to leave. Bai Shui walked up to Su Qingyi with the green bamboo stick, and said with both hands, “My brother is spoiled, I hope you don’t blame my little friend.”
Su Qingyi nodded, took the green bamboo staff, hesitantly walked to Shen Zhu, and said stiffly, “Senior Shen Zhu, here it is.”
Shen Zhu didn’t speak, his eyes that couldn’t see anything seemed to be looking at her seriously, Su Qingyi was a little puzzled: “Senior?”
“Little friend…is the one who saved me back then?” Shen Zhu recognized her, Su Qingyi smiled and nodded, “Exactly.”
“It’s only been a few years, I’ve already entered the Golden Core, and my little friend’s future is limitless.” Shen Zhu took the green bamboo stick from her hand and said seriously, “Thank you.”
“No, I’ll take it to you.”
“There’s no need for that,” Shen Zhu shook his head and said with a smile: “Although my eyes are blind, my heart is still fine. I can see everything clearly.”
“Shen Zhu…” Su Qingyi raised her head in surprise, Shen Zhu’s eyes were gentle: “Fellow Daoist, how are you all these years?”
“Okay…” Su Qingyi’s voice was hoarse, and she slowly lowered her head: “I am in the Heavenly Sword Sect, and I am staying well.”
“That’s good.” Shen Zhu sighed, tapped the ground with his green bamboo stick, and said gently, “I need to know that your friend is doing well, and Shen Zhu is at peace, so he will leave first.”
Saying that, he tapped the ground and walked out slowly.
Su Qingyi was not at ease, said hello to Yun Xuzi, and followed quietly. After sending Shen Zhu back to the room, Su Qingyi suddenly heard the disciple say: “The acting palace lord just lost his temper in the room. It seems that Alai broke a cup…”
“How could someone with such a good temper as the palace lord break the quilt?”
“It’s probably too busy, you think, since the palace lord’s accident on Penglai Island, the Huanyin Palace has not been settled down. If such a big incident happened in Cangzhou, the evil spirits can’t be controlled. The first one Isn’t it the Huanyin Palace that suffers?”
Listening to the disciple’s words, Su Qingyi suddenly had a thought in her heart. Although she knew the possibility was slim, she couldn’t help but want to go to Xiao Su and ask Qin Zichen’s whereabouts. After all… Cangzhou is the site of the Huanyin Palace, maybe she knows more?
After all, he once said a few words in Penglai… An acquaintance?
After Su Qingyi forcibly established a relationship between herself and Xiao Su, she immediately asked her servants and rushed over to Xiao Su’s residence.
When she arrived at Xiao Su’s residence, Xiao Su seemed to be taking a nap in the room. She asked the servants to report first and waited outside.
In December, the lake surface of Huanyin Palace was already frozen. Su Qingyi stood on the small bridge and looked down at the frozen lake.
In the room surrounded by incense, Xiao Su closed the book, looked at the handsome young man by the wall, whose limbs were tied by iron ropes, and said gently, “Ah, the person you want to see is probably here.”
As she said that, she raised her hand, quickly dropped a barrier around her, brushed her sleeves, stood up and said, “I’ll go take a look, Jingyan, you have to be more obedient.”
After speaking, she stood up and walked out of the secret room. Qin Zichen opened his eyes with difficulty, and when he heard the sound of the door opening outside, Xiao Su said with a smile, “Fellow Daoist Su, why don’t you come in and have a chat?”
Then the voice that made him think about it rang out.
“Palace Master Xiao, Qing Yi has taken the liberty.”
Qin Zichen raised his hand with difficulty. He had no strength in his body, but it was still extremely difficult. Little by little, he fell on the ground and crawled in the direction of the voice.
“Qingyi…” He used all his strength to call out the name: “I’m here… Qingyi…”
However, the people outside didn’t seem to be able to hear anything, and the hoarse voice was full of worry: “I’m here, I want to ask Palace Master Xiao, is there any news about Daojun Jingyan?”
“I’m looking for him, and I’m very worried about him.” Su Qingyi lost her usual vigor in her voice, full of exhaustion, but also with a strong nostalgia behind her, mixed with a faint cry—
“I miss him a lot.”
Qin Zichen, I miss you so much, where are you?
Qin Zichen lay on the ground, stunned for a moment, raised his head, embarrassed and difficult, looked at the crack of the door that was leaking with light, and stretched out his hand tremblingly.
