The sun came out and the streets gradually became lively.

Lingfen cake, fried white sausage, fried eel noodles, peanut loads, river fresh ice bowls, sour, sweet, pungent and salty; chicken dealers, tinkers, Mr. Geography, knives sharpeners, noodle kneaders, noisy, noisy, and together It became the appearance of fireworks in the world.

The restaurant borrowed the name of the owner to visit relatives and return home, and announced that it was temporarily closed.The dozen or so people who had just returned to the present world all huddled in the private room on the second floor of the teahouse, looking at the mortal world through the lattice windows.

Facing the monsters and beasts in the wilderness, they are commonplace and capable, but everyone has not seen so many people for a long time, and they are simply at a loss. Everyone feels like a wild beast that accidentally entered the world from the mountains and forests. Ashamed of himself, as if he had grown invisible minions and long hair.

The so-called "Lianke people who go to the countryside to look like them" is nothing more than that.

Among all the people, only Xu Xingzhi spent thirteen years in the false world.Although he has seen phantoms all over the streets for 13 years, it is still better than nothing, so that he will not be afraid of everything in front of him.

Xu Xingzhi carefully closed the bamboo curtains of all the private rooms on the second floor, and only taught them to listen to the sounds of the world first, and gradually got used to it, while he led Zhou Wang, and chose a sunny private room alone, lying on the window At the side, I took some money from the boss, first taught her to recognize worldly money, and then introduced her to the street snacks and all kinds of new gadgets.

Zhou Wang's eyes turned around, like a deer running into the market, everything she saw was a strange sight, she stared at the small stall with paper kites on the diagonal for half an hour, until it Gradually reborn, revealing the appearance of a bamboo bone silver luan.

Xu Xingzhi asked her: "Like it?"

Zhou Wang answered irrelevant questions: "The godmother sewed me a small cloth bag with flowers and grass, wrapped it with a few strands of thread, and told me that this is called a kite, and you can fly into the sky by holding the thread. It took half a month."

Xu Xingzhi remained silent.

Zhou Wang held his chin and looked at the opposite side, and said slowly: "Actually, the kite is not very fun. I got tired of playing it after flying it all afternoon. But the godmother saw that I was having fun, and took out the kite for me the next day. .So every day after I practiced the exercises, I would take the string and go outside for a run. From the age of four to nine, I let it go for five years."

"Is it still there?" Xu Xingzhi asked.

Zhou Wang took out a small cloth bag from his bosom, and there was a big irreparable tear on it, which was probably the reason why it couldn't be put down any longer.

There are not only flowers and grass spun from thread dyed with plant sap, but also a little girl squatting in the flowers and plants.If it was sketched in detail according to Zhou Wang's appearance when he was a child, it would indeed take half a month to embroider it.

Zhou Wang looked up at the dazzling corona and closed his eyes.

A patch of light red appeared in front of her eyes, which gradually turned into a pale, 20-year-old mortal youth.

The first time he watched her fly a kite, he stood alone in front of the pagoda, clapping his hands and shouting to the little girl running ahead, "Ah Wang, fly. Fly."

Later, the girl grew up, gave birth to wings, flew out of the wilderness, and went to a place without him.

Xu Xingzhi didn't speak, just stretched out his right arm, and pressed Zhou Wang's head down with his wooden hand.

Seeing the sun for a long time, Xu Xingzhi was afraid of hurting her eyes.

Tao Xian exchanged his flesh and blood for Xu Xingzhi's right arm, so that Xu Xingzhi would not become more tattered, but he was not even half happy.Although the only glimmer of hope is pinned on Meng Chongguang, it is really slim.

However, now that they have returned to the present world, there are some things they have to consider doing.

He was in a trance, when he heard a scream coming from the side wall.

Hearing the voice, Xu Xingzhi reacted, and pulled the bamboo curtain with a swipe. Then he turned his head and shouted: "Come here. It's closed."

After a long time, Zhou Beinan passed through the wall with his left hand covered in pain, and when he came over, he was not polite, and opened his mouth to curse: "Everyone else's private room has the curtains drawn, why is there only the sun here?!"

Xu Xingzhi jumped down from the window sill: "Whoever tells you to go in without even looking."

As he spoke, he came to Zhou Beinan and raised his chin: "...Hand, let me see."

Zhou Beinan protected his left hand with his right hand, and yelled at him, "Goofy, is it disgusting?"

Without saying a word, Xu Xingzhi knocked on the back of his right hand with a folding fan.

Zhou Beinan was stunned by the knock, his right hand was loosened, Xu Xingzhi picked up the palm of his left hand with the "free pen", hooked it to his face, and when he saw it, his brows frowned: "Xiao Lu!"

Zhou Beinan hid quickly after seeing the sun, but the back of his left hand was still severely burned by the sun. Fortunately, Lu Yujiu heard him yelling from a long distance away, and heard Xu Xingzhi calling him, so he hurried away. He came over and grabbed Zhou Beinan's hand to help him heal his spiritual body.

Zhou Beinan's specialness was not very obvious in the wilderness, but when he came to this world, he immediately showed loneliness and helplessness.

——For all ghost slaves, only when there is a ghost master to provide spiritual power in wartime can they not be afraid of the scorching sun. The usual ghost slaves are not much different from ordinary ghosts. They are afraid of light and heat. Zhou Beinan's cultivation level is not immune. It is inevitable to be weak during the day, not to mention that his face was covered with light just now. If he hadn't blocked it with the back of his hand in time, he might not be able to see this face now.

Zhou Beinan took a breath and said to Zhou Wang, "Qu Chi is awake. Ah Wang, go and have a look."

Xu Xingzhi moved his hands, feeling that he had nothing to do here: "I'll go too."

"He's fine, but he's just been in a daze." Zhou Beinan waved his hand, "Ah Wang, you stay. Xiao Lu has something to tell you."

After seeing Zhou Wang off, Lu Yujiu expressed his thoughts: "Senior Brother Xu, I want to go back to Qingliang Valley."

Xu Xingzhi nodded: "OK. Wait for Chongguang, when the time comes"

Lu Yujiu was a little embarrassed: "...when will he come back?"

"In a hurry?"

Lu Yujiu took out the sapphire roulette that was broken into several pieces and wrapped properly by him from his bosom.

Xu Xingzhi understood that, to Wen Xuechen, sapphire was as tall and straight as a body, and now that the jade is broken, it cannot follow him into the wilderness, but should be buried in the Qingliang Valley.

It was still a long time before dark, so Xu Xingzhi asked Zhou Beinan: "Are you staying or going with him?"

Zhou Beinan shook his head: "Meng Chongguang hasn't come back yet, and Qu Chi is confused again, so I have to stay."

Lu Yujiu interjected: "Actually, I can go and return alone, but Bei Nan said that Senior Brother Xu must accompany him..."

Xu Xingzhi nodded.

This is true, no one knows what Qingliang Valley is like now, if there is a magic way guarding it, Lu Yu Jiuhu faction is eager, it will inevitably cause disturbance.

Although he has become a Nascent Soul, Zhou Beinan, the most powerful ghost slave under his command, is not around, so it is difficult to survive only with those remnants of souls.

Thinking of this, Xu Xingzhi said to Lu Yujiu: "Okay. Fatty Zhou is useless anyway, so I'll just walk with you."

Hearing this, Zhou Beinan went down and aimed at the bench, so angry that he wanted to give Xu Xingzhi a blow.

Since the two met, they went out immediately, trying to get there early and return early.

After they left, Zhou Beinan sat on the first floor of the closed tea house, sitting cross-legged under a window where fine dust was dancing, cleaning his spear.

Unexpectedly, a quarter of an hour later, three footsteps sounded all the way from upstairs.

Zhou Beinan looked up, and when he saw one of the three, he was unavoidably surprised: "Qu Chi? Where are you going?"

Qu Chi stopped obediently: "...to go out."

Zhou Beinan felt that he had lost his mind when he chose to ask Qu Chi, so he turned to look at Zhou Wang.

Zhou Wang followed Qu Chi, a little helpless: "Godfather said he wanted to go out for a walk, but he didn't know where he was going."

Qu Chi promised in a warm voice: "I won't go far. I'm just going to find Tao Xian."

...there was silence all around.

Qu Chi analyzed with reason: "If he's not here, he must have gone outside."

Zhou Wang was a little flustered, and looked at Zhou Beinan: "...Uncle?"

Zhou Beinan thought about it carefully, and felt that it wouldn't hurt to let him out.

Firstly, Qu Chi has always acted in a safe manner, even if he is insane and demented, he does not have the temperament of running around. If he is forcibly detained here, it would be bad if he would make a fuss; The place is not a blessed place of fairy mountains, and it is rare for people who practice Taoism to pass by, so there is no need to worry about being recognized.

More importantly, the most consoling person is gone.

He didn't dare to tell Qu Chi about Tao Xian, and he didn't know how to deal with the possible series of reactions after telling him.

So, he waved his hands to appease him: "Go. Go early and return early."

In order to be safe, Zhou Beinan called Danyang Fenglin Haoxin: "Follow them and take care of them."

But Zhou Beinan thought so much, and finally missed a link.

——The clothes of the three people are very different from those of the pedestrians in the market, and they have attracted countless attentions as soon as they went out.

Just now, Zhou Wang didn't think there was anything wrong when he was watching the flow of people upstairs. It wasn't until she got into the crowd that he became vigilant like a little wild animal and looked around vigilantly.At the moment when they met a group of people head-on, the shoulders of the two accidentally rubbed against each other. Zhou Wang's first reaction was to draw his sword, and pressed his hand behind his back, only to remember that in order to avoid trouble, the two giant-bladed copper The knife was removed before she went out.

Compared with Zhou Wang who was like a frightened bird, Qu Chi didn't care about the eyes of others, and walked slowly along the street with his back straight.

Although Dawu Town is not a traffic hub, it is not too small. The three of them walked around the town for more than half an hour, searched the entire north-south street, entered every shop, and asked if they had seen Tao Xian.

Qu Chi's appearance is gentle and elegant, and he is very respectful when asking people. He doesn't look like a child at all. He only shows aggrieved and bewildered expressions when his hopes fail again and again.

Bypassing the street corner where I bought rice jelly, a pile of straw came into view impressively.

The orange dried straw is tightly tied into a stick, and the bright red hawthorn is huge and thick, and they are strung together in a string. They are rolled once in the newly refined brown-yellow syrup, and the fine gorgon is hooked on it. Once the syrup dries , the fruit is covered with a layer of sweet, thin shell with fine air bubbles, which looks like holding a rich and humble fruit tree from a distance.

... From one street to the end of the street, there were at least three people holding fruit trees and selling them.

Although Zhou Wang had never seen this thing before, she had tasted it countless times, and she recognized it almost at a glance as the candied haws that Qu Chi had pestered Tao Xian to talk about over and over again.

Zhou Wang grabbed Qu Chi: "Godfather, come with me to the tailor shop. Brother Xu said we can buy clothes there."

Qu Chi stared at the candied haws in a daze, without moving.

Zhou Wang almost cried out: "Godfather..."

"This is the candied haws?" Qu Chi pointed at the bunches of red fruit, feeling lost, "It's everywhere. He can buy it easily, why didn't he come back."

Zhou Wang grabbed Qu Chi's sleeve and looked at him as if he was asking for help.

Qu Chi said: "...he said he would come back. He said he would go with me."

Qu Chi's state is not right.He stared at the toes of his shoes with a pale complexion, his eyes were gloomy and confused at times, like a drowning person bobbing up and down.

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to..."

"He's important. Very important."

"I think you are destined to enter the mountain on the third day of the third month of the fourth year. How many years has it been..."

Seeing that Qu Chi was on the verge of falling, Lin Haoxin stepped forward to wrap his arms around his shoulders, picked up a table and chair selling fans and sat down, winking at Zhou Wang.

Zhou Wang walked up to the old man selling candied haws with tears in his eyes.

Xu Xingzhi left some money before he left, and taught her how to recognize money, so she took a bunch of the biggest and reddest hawthorns and came to Qu Chi without much effort.

Seeing the candied haws, Qu Chi, who was muttering words, stopped his voice just now, and his eyes turned into a stable and gentle one.He took it with both hands, and stared at it for a while, as if he had forgotten how to open his mouth. A pair of thin, light red lips fluttered for a long time before he carefully took a bite.

He closed his eyes, took a small half of the candied haws in his mouth, and sipped it for a long time before slowly swallowing it.

"... so sour." Qu Chi lowered his head, and the broken hair on his forehead hung down.

"I don't want candied haws anymore, I want him back."

The root of Zhou Wang's tongue was sore, and before he had time to shed tears, he saw Qu Chi let go of his hand, and the bright red fruit fell to the ground, his body tilted uncontrollably to one side, and Lin Haoxin caught him straight.

As soon as he touched Qu Chi's palm, he felt something was wrong, and he poked the back of his hand towards Qu Chi's forehead, so startled that he immediately withdrew his hand: "...When did senior brother start to have a fever?"

When he saw Qingliang Valley from a distance, Xu Xingzhi had already sensed that the Nine Branches of Lights had not sent anyone to occupy Qingliang Valley.This place is empty, I don't know how long it has been uninhabited, and the grass wind is whispering, the rats are running around, and the meaning of desolation is innumerable.

When Xu Xingzhi came to the valley, the vines covering the remnant stele were dead. He tore it apart in twos and wiped off the moss on it with his palm, only then could he barely distinguish a cut-off from the traces of rain and wind. The word "Qing".

Lu Yujiu stood at the entrance of the old valley, and wanted to enter, but he was afraid that his foot would hurt the soil of his hometown, so he had to hold on to the decayed gate, took a few deep breaths, and was about to enter, but Xu Xingzhi yelled sharply: "Who?!"

Lu Yujiu was not frightened, but the person hiding in the dark was frightened. First he pushed a bundle of firewood out to defend himself, and then he poked his head out.

Before Xu Xingzhi could ask, the firewood boy asked in a childish voice: "What are you doing here?"

After confirming that he had no spiritual power, Xu Xingzhi walked up to him and squatted down: "Can't we come?"

"Of course not." The boy said seriously, "This place is haunted."
