wait until the fireworks cool off

They came running, shouting at the top of their lungs as they ran: "The monster is coming! The monster is burning people!"

The people who had just rested for a while were startled, but before they could react, they saw dazzling flames sweeping towards the mountain pass like huge waves, and a black shadow like a spirit snake could be faintly seen in the flames.Although those screaming people ran as hard as they could, they were all swallowed up by the raging fire.

Seeing this, everyone was so frightened that they fled like birds and beasts before they even had time to get their luggage.A little girl in ragged clothes seemed to be separated from her family, standing there watching the screaming and frightened crowd, crying loudly.The raging fire roared towards the crowd like a beast with its bloody mouth open. The little girl stared blankly at the burning flames, so frightened that she even forgot to cry for a while.

At this moment, the Tsing Yi Immortal suddenly jumped up, picked up the little girl in an instant, sacrificed the green bamboo flute with one hand, and propped up a huge translucent barrier.The raging fire was like a huge wave hitting the shore, hitting the barrier hard in the blink of an eye, but it couldn't move forward.Qing Yu forcibly supported the barrier with one hand, and gently put the little girl on the ground with the other hand.

"Run, boy!" he ordered, trying not to lose control.

The little girl stared at him with tears in her eyes, but didn't move.

"Mother is calling you over there, go find her quickly." Qing Yu forced a smile at her.

The little girl didn't know who the person in front of her was, and she didn't know what he was enduring, but she seemed to understand his words, and turned around obediently towards the group of people and ran staggeringly.

Only then did Qing Yu turn around, cracks had already appeared in the translucent barrier, and he quickly mobilized his whole body of immortal power to struggle against the crazy tongue of flame.

The monster seemed to be defeated by his enchantment, and gradually extinguished the fire, it turned out to be a flying snake with a whole body of black lacquer.The soaring snake was like an iron whip floating in mid-air, circling and writhing, staring at him.

Qing Yu immediately closed the barrier, and the green bamboo flute gleamed, pointing at it like a sharp sword.

"Get back."

he said coldly.

The Teng Snake hesitated for a moment, then suddenly let out a wild howl, attacking him like a black vortex.Qing Yu flew up, and a ray of light from the bamboo flute struck the flying snake head-on, hitting the snake seven inches away.The snake screamed in pain and cut its tail towards him.Qing Yu leaned over to dodge, the blue light stabbed at the eyes of the Soaring Snake, piercing the eyes of the Soaring Snake.Na Teng Snake's eyes were stabbed, and he went mad, he opened his mouth and spat out fire, the flames soaring into the sky instantly enveloped him.

Qing Yu only felt a scorching heat wave engulfing him in an instant, if it wasn't for the protection of the immortal power, he would have been burnt, the fire was rolling forward like a hurricane, kicking him up and rushing out.Qing Yu was thrown on the ground by the flames and rolled several feet away, his whole body was in a mess, and the corner of his mouth had already begun to bleed.

He stood up unsteadily, the snake was blind and couldn't see him, it just spewed fire everywhere.Qing Yu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and stared fiercely at the flying snake.Suddenly a dazzling white light appeared all over his body, and he jumped up again. The bamboo flute turned into a silver-white light and shadow, which almost merged with him, and flew towards the snake's seven inches away.

There was only a burst of cracking sound that shook the sky, white light and flames intertwined and tore apart, as if molten gold and silver were poured from the sky, casting the entire land and rolling up vast smoke and dust.

The smoke and dust cleared away, a green bamboo several feet long pierced the snake's seven inches, and the snake's body was nailed to the ground.Qing Yu rolls aside, his chest churning like boiling.Due to the forcible mobilization of huge celestial power, his celestial veins have been severely damaged.

The snake didn't seem to be completely dead yet, its tail was still wriggling, as if it was about to break free at any moment.Panting heavily, Qing Yu stood up slowly from the ground, a little light gathered in his hands, his expression was still vigilant, and he was ready to fight back at any time.

Until the wriggling tail was finally unable to hang down, the body of Soaring Snake slowly turned into shattered rays of light and was taken away by the green bamboo. The green bamboo gradually shrank and turned back into the shape of a flute.Qing Yu gently raised his hand, and the flute flew back to his hand.

Xu Shi suddenly relaxed, Qing Yu couldn't bear it any longer, coughed up a mouthful of blood, fell to his knees powerlessly, and was about to fall down when his eyes were dark.

Suddenly a cold body supported him, and at the moment when he lost consciousness, Qing Yu heard him calling softly, Master...

After an unknown amount of time, Qing Yu gradually regained consciousness.He slowly opened his eyes, but was too shocked by the face in front of him to speak.

"Yun'er..."

"Master!" Seeing him waking up, the person in front of him clutched his hand tightly to his chest, his voice trembling: "I finally found you..."

Qing Yu sat up, unable to digest this scene for a while, Ying Yun, he is not...

"Yun'er, you... are you still alive?"

Ying Yun knelt beside him, buried her head on his elbow, weeping uncontrollably: "Master, this disciple realizes his mistake, please forgive me..."

Qing Yu felt sore in his heart, unable to tell what it was like.He managed to regain his composure, and persuaded softly, "Yun'er, don't cry, tell me, what's going on?"

"Master, this disciple suffered a severe injury back then and thought he was dead, but he left a trace of his soul in the world. For a hundred years, this disciple has been drifting in the sky and the earth, and it was hard for him to gather spiritual energy to cultivate to this state." Ying Yun raised his head and tightened his grip. Gently shook Qing Yu's hand, and Qing Yu immediately felt that his hand was so cold that there was almost no warmth, "I still can't maintain my physical body all the time. I'm still a wandering soul from sunrise to noon. Only when the sun goes down can I condense into a physical body. "

Qing Yu closed his eyes heavily.

Hundreds of years have passed, and the vicissitudes of life have changed. Seeing this child again, Qing Yu has mixed feelings in his heart.Back then, he expelled Ying Yun from the teacher's school in a fit of anger, but at the last moment, the child sacrificed himself to protect him, which made him regret it too much.Now that he has become such a half-human, half-ghost, and still comes to seek him, he really can't force himself to be harsh on him.

"Yun'er, it's all over, Master doesn't blame you anymore. Now that God has mercy on you and gave you the opportunity to practice, you can no longer disappoint your own luck. It is also Master's luck to cultivate a stable physical body as soon as possible."

"Disciple obeys!" After Ying Yun heard this, she cried and laughed excitedly, and only nodded her head desperately: "Master, can this disciple follow you all the time?"

Qing Yu was slightly startled, and after a long silence, he said: "Yun'er, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you to follow me."

Ying Yun lowered her head sadly, and said to herself: "I understand, Master is just wandering around this time, and he will not be able to take me with him when he returns to Changliu. It doesn't matter, I won't cause trouble for Master, I will be here in Changzhou. I practice near Liushan, as long as the master still remembers my disciple and is willing to come out to see me every few days, I will be happy."

Qing Yu lowered his eyes and said in a sad tone, "Master will not come back to stay longer."

"Why? Did the master and the sect master quarrel?"

"no."

Seeing Qing Yu's reluctance to say more, Ying Yun hesitated for a moment, stepped forward on his knees and said solemnly: "Master, if you don't go back, how about I follow you from now on? I have no relatives in this world, Master, what do you want me to do?" It's okay, just don't leave me alone."

"Yun'er, I have nowhere to go now, you are just wandering with me, it's no different from you being alone."

"No, as long as I follow Master, I'm willing to wander. I finally found you, please don't leave me again." Ying Yun hugged his knees and begged.

"Did you follow me all the time before?" Qing Yu asked calmly.

Ying Yun was startled for a moment, then nodded lightly: "I am afraid that Master will not forgive me, so I dare not show up. I am worried that I will offend you."

Qing Yu felt a pain in his heart, he actually followed him for several years, just afraid that he would drive him away again?

Thinking that he was exhausted from fighting Na Teng Snake before, and it was he who rescued him.He was so terrified, would he really want to push him into the abyss again with his own hands?

Qing Yu heaved a long sigh, finally nodded his head: "Forget it, you just follow me, it's just that when you become a flesh body, you can find your own way of life, you don't need to be with me."

"Thank you, Master!" Ying Yun felt overjoyed when he heard him let go, and hurriedly stood up and ran outside: "Disciple, I'll get you some hot water right now! And, there's something to eat!"

He was so excited that he slammed into the door as soon as he reached the door. He grinned his teeth in pain, but ran out in a hurry.

Qing Yu couldn't help but smile, after a hundred years, his little apprentice is still the same as when he was a child.

evil purple to seize vermilion

As the sun was setting, Qing Yu and Ying Yun, master and apprentice, went down the river in a wooden boat.There are clusters of green hills on both sides of the bank, and the green water is long. A team of trackers pulls the cargo boat, step by step and muddy, slowly going up along the river.

Qing Yu stood at the bow of the boat, staring at the strange yet familiar scenery in a daze.A gust of wind from the river was blowing towards him, he felt a fishy throat, and caught off guard and coughed.

"Master!" Ying Yun ran out from the reed canopy, and gave him a cloak while giving him a smooth ride, "The wind is too strong at the bow of the boat, you are injured, don't stand here and blow the wind."

Qing Yu smiled: "The scenery on the river is beautiful, I haven't seen it for many years, it doesn't matter."

"Master, you have been coughing for more than ten days, and I am worried that your health will not be able to bear it. Let's go to Aunt Yu instead? She has excellent medical skills and can help Master take a look."

"No need, I'll just heal myself," Qing Yu turned his head and said with a smile, "We'll be in Chu soon, don't you want to go back and have a look?"

Ying Yun pursed her lips: "Master, do you have something to hide from your apprentice?"

"what?"

"Master, this disciple has been with you for so long. You have never mentioned anything about Changliu or even the fairy world. Every time I want to ask you, you always change the subject. Master, what happened? Why did you leave Changliu?" stay?"

Qing Yu was slightly taken aback, as if he hadn't
