soul repair

In the early morning, it began to rain lightly on the mountain and down the mountain.

Wearing a bamboo hat and a plain gray Taoist robe, the old man walked slowly past the village head of Donghua Village.The bamboo hat is a bit low, and the face can't be seen clearly, but the silver whiskers exposed under the dark gray clothes are a bit conspicuous.There was a slanting wind and light rain, the ground was muddy, ink spots splashed on the hem of the clothes, and the stains that had been there before were piled up, it looked like raindrops of different distances in an ink painting.

Suddenly, an eleven or twelve-year-old boy ran out of the corner, panting towards him, the old man didn't hide, and the boy couldn't stop running, and bumped into the old man abruptly.

The boy let out a soft cry and fell to the ground, splashing mud all over his body. He looked angrily at the old man who blocked his way but was as stable as Mount Tai.

A quaint wooden sign fell into the muddy water.

The old man's eyes shot out from under the bamboo hat, this is Guan Ying's wooden sign, how could it be in the boy's hand?

He slowly leaned over and took the wooden sign in his hand, weighing it up: "Who gave this to you?"

The boy gasped and stood up: "Give it to me."

"It's not yours."

"give me!"

The old man's eyes seemed to be meaningful, but his voice did not reveal any emotion: "Is it given to you by a young man who likes to laugh when he has nothing to do?"

"None of your business!" The boy's eyes were red and swollen, he grabbed the wooden sign from the old man's hand rudely, and ran towards the direction of the river.

Weird, so angry, could it be that Guan Ying caused trouble?

The old man thought for a moment, stopped going up the mountain, and turned around towards the village where the boy came out. There were two villagers in coarse clothes standing by the well, talking in whispers.

"Shangen and his wife are really miserable. It's just right that the son was bitten by a snake, but his mother is like this. What hurt her?"

"I heard that she was half awake for a while just now, and no one could hear what she said clearly. Now the blood on her body can't stop, and she is almost out of breath."

The old man's eyes moved slightly under the bamboo hat, and he stepped forward and said, "Which mountain root are you talking about?"

The villagers saw that the old man was wearing decades-old clothes, his face could not be seen clearly with his bamboo hat, and his voice was not from the local area, so they didn't want to say too much and talked on their own.One of them asked cautiously, "Can you practice medicine?"

"will not."

"That's none of your business."

"Oh." The old man was not angry, he found a stone at the head of the village and sat down to rest, without speaking.

Unknowingly, the sky became twilight, and more people came out to walk around in the village.The old man at the head of the village, who had been quiet for half an hour, moved, and said to the passing villagers: "Just now I saw a little boy beside the Luohe River. into the river."

"What?" The people in the village became anxious, "Shangen has fallen into the river, let's go rescue people together!"

The whole village went out to find someone, but the village became desolate and became much cleaner immediately.The old man walked slowly on the muddy ground, came to the door of a house, and took a look.The tables and chairs in the yard were tilted here and there, in a state of chaos. It looked like something serious had just happened.He walked in, and there was a woman lying unconscious on the inner bed, and a seven or eight-year-old boy was sitting by the bed and wiping her face.

This woman is probably the mother of that Shan Gen just now.

The old man's sleeves flicked lightly, the oil lamp inside flickered, and the little boy suddenly fell asleep and fell on the bed.

Lying on the bed was a woman with a pale face, as if she had lost too much blood.The old man lowered his head, breathed lightly, he was still there, but it was very weak.

There is a red leaf on the ground that has been crushed, and its color is bright red.

The old man knelt down and wiped the red leaf, put it between his nose, and raised his eyebrows slightly.The purple Xiaoxi grass and the wooden sign in the boy's hand must have something to do with Guan Ying.

When Ji Qingyan and his party came to the foot of the mountain from the Shangqing Palace, the rain that had been raining all morning had stopped.

"I'll send you here. The third palace lord has had a hard time on the road. From now on, I will rely on Tsing Yi and knocking to solve the palace lord's worries and problems." Song Guzhui's tone was very polite, and everyone mentioned it, but he just didn't mention Guan Lingdao's name.

Guan Lingdao had something on his mind, and he wasn't even in the mood to bicker about Song Guzhui's kindness to him. He smiled disinterestedly: "I won't see Deacon Song in the future, I will definitely miss him very much."

Song Guzhui's face turned slightly green.There is only one word in his mind: Get lost.

After leaving Luohe and passing by Donghua Village, Guan Lingdao felt a little uneasy, and looked inside from the entrance of the village.It doesn't matter if you look at it, the village is in chaos early in the morning, and the children are running around on the road: "Mother Shangen is dead, mother Shangen is dead."

Guan Lingdao was startled, grabbed a child who was running over and asked, "Who's dead?"

"Yamane's mother, I don't know who was hurt last night, someone poked a hole in her waist."

"What did you say?" Guan Lingdao became anxious.

The caught child looked at Ji Qingyan who was expressionless, and then at Guan Lingdao, unconsciously, he behaved a lot and didn't dare to talk nonsense.

"Did you see her dead?" The voice was a little out of breath.

"No." The child was stunned, too frightened by Guan Lingdao's ugly face, "I was talking nonsense."

Can this be nonsense? !

"Master, this mother and son are kind to me, I have to go and have a look." Guan Lingdao said incoherently, without waiting for him to reply, he ran into the village on his own.

There were many people around the door, Guan Lingdao quietly flew to the backyard and jumped in through the window.There was a slight movement behind him, and when he turned his head to see, Ji Qingyan also flew in at some point.

The room was filled with an unpleasant smell of medicine, Huai Xin lay unconscious on the bed, and Yamane didn't know where he went.Guan Lingdao looked down at the woman on the bed, his face was bloody, but he was still not awake.Guan Lingdao opened her lips, and there was still a red leaf in her mouth, no different from last night.

Not dead, not dead.

The breath is still there, and the wound is still bleeding. Although the healing is slower than expected, the healing of the wound varies from person to person, so it is nothing.

Guan Lingdao lowered his head and inadvertently swept across a group of red stains under the bed. It seemed to be red Xiaoxi grass, but it didn't seem to be, so he became a little suspicious.

Was last night's red leaf thrown away?

Guan Lingdao glanced at the red leaves in her mouth again, and thought: Although Xiaoxi grass is not common, only Master can grow this purple-red one, and no one else can change it.

There is a seemingly ordinary stone in the corner, which is a rock that can be seen everywhere in the village.Guan Lingdao glanced at it casually. Although the stone was found everywhere, it made people feel that it didn't fit when it suddenly appeared in the sleeping room.

It's a pity that he didn't think much, just smiled with lingering fear, and the cold sweat was all over him.

It's okay, just a false alarm.

Ji Qingyan just looked at the stone in the corner, and somehow remembered the soul stone that had lost its soul energy.Mo Zhongxian's bed had such a stone that had lost its soul energy, it was also ordinary, and it also appeared in the room.

He frowned for a moment, then lowered his head to look at the woman's injury, and said thoughtfully: "There is something piercing through her waist. I don't know what it is from the shape. I've never seen this kind of weapon before." .”

After hearing this, Guan Lingdao just smiled and dared not speak.

Nonsense, even he himself didn't know what that Horcrux was.

While talking, the woman on the bed seemed to hear the human voice, her eyes opened, a gap was slightly exposed, and she looked at Ji Qingyan and Guan Lingdao unconsciously.Guan Lingdao couldn't speak in a hurry at this time, the hairs all over his body stood on end, lest she couldn't figure it out for a while and said something she shouldn't have said.

The woman slowly opened her eyes, first she saw clearly that Guan Lingdao was standing in front of her, her face blushed abruptly, "It's you."

"Yeah." Guan Lingdao also blushed nervously, "Long time no see."

The woman's lips moved, and she blushed again: "Yes."

Ji Qingyan lowered his head and gently pulled him to stand up.

"Huh? Let's go now?" Guan Lingdao didn't dare to disobey, and was dragged by Ji Qingyan to the door, and said to the woman: "Madam is good for healing."

"Don't worry, Yamane is fine."

After leaving the door, Guan Lingdao smiled and said, "Master, why is he in such a hurry to let me go? Is it because I am too handsome, and Master is worried that she will take a fancy to me?"

"No."

"Master is embarrassed to admit it."

Ji Qingyan stepped forward and ignored him: "No."

After leaving the Shangqing area, a group of people crossed the mountains and headed northwest, traveling during the day and staying at night.Most of these places are deep in the mountains and old forests. There are no inns or farmhouses, and sleeping in the woods is unavoidable.

Recently, he was busy on his way, Ji Qingyan didn't talk much, so he didn't pay much attention to him these days for some reason.Guan Lingdao couldn't figure out some things recently, and he didn't talk much, he just fiddled with his flowers and plants with a sullen head and few words.

It started to rain lightly that night, and the ground was muddy. Everyone else hurried up the tree. Guan Lingdao looked around. Although there were many trees nearby, the branches were weak and the leaves were small, and the branches could be broken if you put a leg on them. There are not many trees that people can rely on to sleep, only two or three.

Seeing that Ji Qingyan occupied a tree alone, and Tsing Yi occupied a tree, Jun Mo planted a small tree on the ground, sighed in his heart, and flew to the tree in Tsing Yi in embarrassment: "I'm hiding here. rain."

Tsing Yi moved aside to make room for him.

Guan Lingdao had something on his mind recently, and Ji Qingyan was especially indifferent to him, after thinking and thinking, he didn't dare to disturb him, so he hugged flowers and plants to squeeze together with Jun Mo.

Jun Mo didn't like rain the most, and when he finally found a dry place, someone came to grab it. Naturally, he was in a bad mood, and twisted his body to squeeze Guan Lingdao off the tree.Guan Lingdao couldn't compete with it, he held his breath and landed on the ground before he could stand still, only to hear the thunder in the distance, and the rain suddenly became heavier.

He wiped his face and was already drowned.

Things have come to this, I have to go to Ji Qingyan with the cheek.Guan Lingdao smiled and flew to his side, and landed on the tree trunk: "The third palace master."

Ji Qingyan didn't say anything, just gave him the place.

The two of them had their own concerns, the sound of rain bursts, and with a distance of three or four feet, neither of them said anything, Guan Lingdao's eyelids became heavier and heavier.

The four leaves rose from the palm of the hand, and suddenly spun and flew out. Not far away, the dark one suddenly lit up, revealing a face with the sound of stone knocking.Guan Lingdao was shocked, and quickly took back the Horcrux, but it was too late, the stone knocked and screamed, and the Horcrux passed through his chest.

Guan Lingdao opened his eyes suddenly, sweating all over his body.

There was a thunder above the head!

It turned out to be a dream, how could I have such a dream?He turned around in fear, only to see Ji Qingyan half-sitting up and looking at him with a solemn expression. He didn't know how long he had been looking at him.

"Third, Third Palace Lord." Guilty and scared, what did Ji Qingyan see?

"You've had four nightmares in recent days."

Guan Lingdao looked at him, his eyes flickering, and he was speechless for a long time.

Ji Qingyan moved his seat to the side, Guan Lingdao sighed softly, crawled to sit next to him: "Master."

"Anything on your mind?"

"Has Master ever hurt an innocent person?" Guan Lingdao asked after being silent for a moment without being embarrassed by Ye Yu's rustling sound.

"Ah."

Guan Lingdao turned his head: "Have you ever been hurt?"

"Ah."

"Why, how did you get hurt?" The most uncomfortable thing in recent days was nothing more than the fact that he had no intention of hurting someone at the time, and he had nightmares all over the night, and he was also afraid that he would accidentally attack someone he loved.

"My soul is formed by the hostility of the world, and I hurt people when I strike." Ji Qingyan lowered his head and played with a white chess piece. "I just started practicing when I was young, and I accidentally hurt my sister and brother."

Guan Lingdao looked at him in a daze: "What happens after you hurt them?"

"I can't do anything." Ji Qingyan looked down at him, "I can only remember that I owe them."

Guan Lingdao lowered his head: "If you owe them, you can only owe them."

Guan Lingdao's clothes were soaked unknowingly, and even his inner clothes were dripping with rainwater along his chest. He turned his head to look at the protective aura on Ji Qingyan's body that protected him from the rain. Consciously and somewhat envious.

Ji Qingyan lowered his head slightly: "There is still room here."

"No, it doesn't matter if it rains or not, I can sleep no matter what." He closed his eyes, and the raindrops fell on his face.

One hand slowly wrapped his arms around his waist, gently pulling him to sit on his lap, Guan Lingdao was slightly startled, his whole body seemed to be on fire, and the four leaves on his waist were tinkling.

Ji Qingyan looked at the red marks under his left eye, his eyes were deep.

Guan Lingdao pinched the leaves on his waist, his fingers trembling slightly, wanting to crush them into pieces, but he didn't know what to do.Without this horcrux, he couldn't resist the evil spirits on the first day of each month, but if he didn't destroy it, he was afraid that he would find it someday.

"Go to sleep." Ji Qingyan let him lie on his shoulders, stroking the scorching heat under his left eye with his fingers, injecting cool spiritual energy.

"Master." The scorching heat persisted, and his head was burned dizzy.

He doesn't know what this thing is, if he is intimate with Ji Qingyan, it will burn, and when it burns, it will make people unconscious.Guan Lingdao leaned lightly in his arms, as if he had no strength, tangled in pain, and unconsciously called softly: "Master, Master, I'm sorry for you."

"Excuse me for what?"

Guan Lingdao didn't answer, but leaned back as if falling asleep.The next moment, he fell straight down from the tree and fell into the grass under the tree, causing large water droplets.

Tsing Yi suddenly opened his eyes because of his movement, looked down at the tree, Shi Knock closed his eyes and said indifferently: "Don't worry, I'm afraid I offended the Third Palace Master again for some reason and got pushed down from the tree. Serve it right, don't worry about it."
