Fire and theft prevention

"Senior brother has always been facing the wind, but I didn't expect to be so embarrassing in the dress of a female cultivator."

Huo Wei was not stingy with compliments when he played tricks, "The Fox Immortal let Huo get a chance to see the demeanor of his senior brother's female appearance—but that is not the real senior brother."

Mu Qingjia wants to cry but has no tears: What about the face blindness that was agreed?Why did you still see it?

"...Aren't you unfamiliar with human faces?"

Huo Wei raised his eyebrows and said, "I've been facing your face day and night for countless years, how can I not remember?"

Mu Qingjia didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Do you rarely look in the mirror?"

"Probably more than 50 years." Huo Wei was puzzled, "Why?"

Haven't seen myself in over 50 years, no wonder.

"No wonder you didn't recognize your grandson." Mu Qingjia said, "Except for his eyes, he looks exactly like you."

Huo Wei frowned: "Grandson? I don't have a woman. And..."

Moreover, he was the only one left in the Huo family.

As soon as his voice sank, Mu Qingjia could hear the depression in it.He smiled and said: "The Lingao faction boy we are traveling with this time is the descendant of your elder brother who was exiled in the human world. It was the junior sister who found him."

Huo Wei was silent for a moment, his fists were loosened and tightened, and his thin lips were pursed into a thin line.

Excited, unbelievable, resentment being concealed by his elder brother, fear of being close to home, and more complicated emotions kept coming, which made him not know how to deal with it.

"He..." Huo Wei opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say for a long time.

Mu Qingjia knew that it would be difficult for him to calm down for a while, so he also waited quietly.At this moment, the boy's voice came.

"Amu, Amu! Are you all right?" Huo Long shouted from a distance, while raising the thing in his hand, "Look, I found this!"

Huo Wei frowned: "What's 'Amu', it's not big or small."

Mu Qingjia coughed lightly, Huo Wei twitched her brows, and asked sullenly, "What did you find?"

Mu Qingjia let out a "puchi" laugh, and felt that it was really interesting that his junior brother was trying to establish the majesty of the elders.

Huo Long never expected that this person would pay attention to him. When he was questioned, he was shocked at first, and then unconsciously became serious and stood up straight.

"I saw a golden butterfly wandering around it, and there was still magic energy on it, so I picked it up."

He opened his palm, revealing half of the charred stick.

Huo Wei took it over and took a closer look, only to find that it was not a simple wooden stick, but a lifelike wooden human leg.The golden butterfly in the boy's mouth lightly landed on the blade of the underworld butterfly and merged into the body of the sword. Hao Ran was the envoy of the golden wings.

The Golden Butterfly has been looking for the breath of the mother of the bell, and their existence indicates that this wooden leg is likely to be left over from the demon cultivator's self-explosion.

Huo Wei's face changed in an instant, and with a crisp "creaking" sound, the wooden stick was broken into several pieces in his hands.

He suddenly understood.

No wonder that demon cultivator is not afraid of life and death, and can survive with only half of his body.No wonder his cultivation was up and down, and his aura was treacherous.

Because, the one who fought them fiercely just now was not the real body of this demon cultivator at all.

But a puppet avatar | body.

"...Yanshi." Huo Wei murmured.

Huo Ting opened his mouth wide in shock: "Then the demon cultivator is 'Yanshi'? But isn't Yanshi on the list of mysteries? The list of mysteries only includes Xianxiu."

Listening to these unfamiliar terms, Mu Qingjia was at a loss: "Wait, what is the mystery list, and who are you talking about in Yanshi?"

The first time Huo Ting heard him speak, he was taken aback and almost threw Guan Guan away.

"Amu, are you talking?" He was pleasantly surprised.

"Congratulations, uncle." Gu Xiao leaned over slightly and made a bow.The baby girl in his arms blew a bubble, and rubbed the cloth on his chest for milk, rubbing against his chest so that the skirt of the clothes crumpled into a pile.

Mrs. Liu's child was originally taken care of by Huo Long, but Huo Long himself was still a child. Gu Xiao was afraid that he would be reckless, so he took the baby over.

The baby girl looked like a meaty dumpling, which swept away Gu Xiao's cold and detached temperament, and even had a subtle sense of virtuousness at home.

However, he himself did not notice this, and was still explaining Mu Qingjia's question in a serious manner.

"The 'Mystery List' is the real-time ranking list of the world of cultivating immortals updated by Fuyushuixie. It includes all immortal cultivators in Kyushu. It is a relatively authoritative and fair list."

"As for the title of 'Yanshi'," he continued, "this person is ranked seventh in the list of mysteries, and he is the only craftsman in the top ten list of mysteries, and he is also the most mysterious person among them. No one knows his surname. Who is it, or which family it belongs to."

"His biggest feature," Huo Wei took over, "is the use of puppets."

Gu Xiaodao: "Not only puppets, but also rare and exotic beasts in Kyushu. The lifelike ones have the same function as the creation of heaven and earth, and can even deceive the 'eyes' of heaven and the real one."

Mu Qingjia rubbed her fingers and thought.Gu Xiao's description of Yanshi is very similar to how he felt when he manipulated the white fox woodcarving. Could this "Yanshi" have some relationship with him?

Or, was this man himself at all?

It's just that in my impression, he used to be regarded as a "not enterprising" swordsman, and it was impossible for him to reach the top ten level in the world of immortality.

So he asked: "Since Yanshi seldom appears, what platoon's combat strength is this mystery list based on?"

"Record, cultivation, status, comprehensive strength, but Yanshi is an exception." Gu Xiao said in a deep voice, "He has only been included in one battle record, and this time alone can make him in the top ten, and even maintain several ten years."

Huo Taki excitedly said: "Master said, on the eve of the great battle between immortals and demons, he was the one who caused the fall of Mengji, the right-hand man of the Demon Venerable, the Venerable Power of Words. Another casual cultivator had seen him before and knew his name." , so it became famous."

Upon hearing this, Mu Qingjia immediately felt that the guess just now was too embarrassing for her face.In his memory, he died at the hands of Moxiu, and that Moxiu must not be a big character.

Even a little guy can't beat him, so how can he kill the Demon Lord's right-hand man?Just wishful thinking.

He laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Yanshi disappeared after the Tribulation of Immortals and Demons." Gu Xiao lowered his head and said, "I didn't expect him to cultivate demons."

"I can't be sure that it's really Yanshi." Huo Wei said in a deep voice, "However, if he really cultivated demons, I will definitely find him and kill him."

He added slowly: "—even if he is kind to me."

Killing intent shot out, Guan Guan, who was living in Huo Taki's arms, retracted his head, and burrowed into the boy's arm with all his might.

"Don't force yourself." Mu Qingjia said softly, "Maybe we won't meet him again in the future."

"There will always be encounters." Huo Wei said in a deep voice, "Moxiu are all vicious people, killing people like hemp, doing all kinds of evil - even burning Kyushu and devouring the souls of immortals."

"Since he chose the path of magic cultivation, he also chose to be my sword."

When it comes to Moxiu, Huo Wei seems to be a different person, bloodthirsty, violent, and crazy, but Mu Qingjia is a little worried to find that most of the junior brother's deep hatred for Moxiu comes from the bloody hatred in the past.

The road to revenge was dark and narrow, and he didn't want Huo Wei to go too far and too deep alone.

"Moxiu is really bad." Huo Long's tone was ignorant and determined, "Gu Xiao, what do you think?"

Gu Xiao said nothing.

Huo Taki seemed to be used to being ignored, so he shrugged and went to comb Guan Guan's hair.

"It's not too late to think about it at that time." Mu Qingjia saw that the atmosphere was a little heavy, and said: "Leaving aside other things, we have at least protected the fox fairy this time.——Junior brother, let's take the fox fairy from nothingness first." Put it out of the box."

Holden took out a small square black box from his chest and held it in his hand.

"The fox fairy is here?" Huo Ting looked up, down, left, and right curiously.

"En." Huo Wei responded.

"This is a bit different from what I imagined. I thought that immortals could call the wind and rain, and shine with the sun and the moon. In short, they are very powerful." The young man said strangely, "I never thought that the real immortals are so little, sick and weak. Then Why do we need to fix..."

He seemed to feel that something was inappropriate, so he stopped talking.

Everyone knows that what he wants to ask in the second half of the sentence is: Then why do we want to cultivate immortals?

This has long been a rule passed down from generation to generation, as if cultivating an immortal would be omnipotent.Even Mu Qingjia, who has been cultivating immortals for nearly eighty years, still has a half-knowledge of this answer.

In my young memory, Master was always vague about this matter.

Longevity?

He suddenly remembered what Guan Guan recounted, what his younger brother promised him.

"Whenever you and I get sick and return to the west, we will be buried in this mountain together."

From this point of view, the destination that he and his junior brother longed for has never been longevity.

Since cultivating immortals is not for longevity, what is it for?

Mu Qingjia stared at the nothingness box in Huo Wei's hand, thoughtful.

Maybe the great white fox... no, maybe the fox fairy can answer his doubts.

He wanted to take the void box, but Huo Wei avoided his movements.

"Be careful." He said, "I'll do it."

Huo Wei moved a little further away from the three of them, and then carefully opened the lid of the box.The forest in the spring night is quiet and silent, only a round of bright moon slanting, and the sound of rustling and flowing water in the lake on the top of the mountain.

There are neither traps nor traces of magic in the box.

Mu Qingjia came to his side, facing the black lacquered box, tentatively said: "I'll let you out here, is that okay?"

After a brief silence, a woman's voice came from the box: "OK."

The invisible stream flowed out, and there was a rustling sound in the forest, bringing a scent of wild flowers.Everyone else thought there was a breeze blowing, only Mu Qingjia "saw" a white fox shadow floating out of the box.

A cool breeze blew in, Mu Qingjia stood in a daze for a while, then passed out.

"Qing Jia!"

Huo Weiyi took him into his arms.

Mu Qingjia's breathing was even, her face was calm and peaceful, there was no problem with her soul, her spiritual energy, and her wooden body was the same as usual.Huo Wei was comfortable in life and death, but at this moment, he was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Master Huo." Gu Xiao suggested, "This junior is proficient in medical skills, if you don't mind, I can use my uncle's pulse to take a look."

Seeing that his sincerity does not seem to be fake, Huo Wei acquiesced.

Gu Xiao rested his fingers on Mu Qingjia's wrist, and after a while, he blinked slightly in astonishment.As soon as he looked up, he saw that the Huo family had two faces that were too similar, and they were all waiting for his result intently.

This is perhaps the time when their looks and temperaments are most alike.

"Uncle Mu is in good health, just fell asleep." Gu Xiao coughed lightly, "If there is anything wrong...the pulse slows down a bit, maybe—it's because of hunger."

"..." Huo Wei said, "Thank you."

He hasn't voluntarily eaten since Bigu, even though he has tasted all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas, Mu Qingjia forced him to eat them all.

So he actually forgot that ordinary people also have to eat.Mu Qingjia's new body did not have bigu, the reason why he fainted was probably because he was hungry.

As soon as Gu Xiao reminded him, Huo Long's stomach also grunted.

"Let's go to the 'Tianhai Yise Pavilion' and treat yourself to a good meal, I treat you!" The young man swallowed, "There are three branches in Yangzhou, but the one in Yuzhou is the most spiritual, and it is not shabby to entertain the emperor! When I was young, my father always Take me there, I know the cook, the crispy bone chicken she cooks is the best..."

"Don't eat it." Gu Xiao said sternly, "You must get used to bigu."

Huo Long rubbed his stomach pitifully, then subconsciously looked at Guan Guan in his arms, smashing his mouth.

A wolf in the front and a tiger in the back, in a dilemma, Guan Guan's little heart was beating wildly, and hiccupped in fright.

-------------------------------------

Beyond Kyushu, in the barren land of the northwest, there is Mount Shaoxian.

In the dark cave, the pale and gloomy man twitched and gradually woke up.Beside him was a wooden ring, three phoenix soul needles, and a wood carving of a fox cut in two.

"Too slow." Mu Jie said.

Lou Qing was speechless, but picked up the wooden fox carving tremblingly while pressing his painful forehead.

"It's him, he's there. Why doesn't he show up?"

He muttered in his mouth, staring at the small wooden sculpture up and down, left and right with a nervous gaze.

"Stupid." Mu Jie said, "You are blind, even if he stands in front of you, you can't find him."

Lou Qing didn't have any dissatisfaction with being offended, he looked at Mu Jie with pure doubts in his eyes.

"He has been resurrected." Mu Jie said again.

"resurrection?"

"Heh. Don't you think this timing is too coincidental?" Mu Jie said, "The senior brother of Nether Butterfly Sword died in the Tribulation of the Immortal Devil, and now he appears next to Huo Wei with a wooden body. That person has also disappeared for 50 years. Until now, Appear here at the same time as him."

Mu Jie seemed to have figured something out, and said again: "That is to say, when Venerable Li Yan led the crowd to slaughter hundreds of Huo family members, Ming Diejian went to the wilderness alone to take revenge, and in the end, Li Yan died in the hands of Yan Shi."

He hehe laughed and said, "What a fellow brother!"

The dots of expression gradually lit up in Lou Qing's eyes.

"So it was him." He asked, "What's his name?"

Mu Jie seemed to be thinking, and said after a while: "It's the same surname as Venerable Jian, like a given name——Mu Qingjia."

Lou Qing caressed the left half of her body that was torn apart by the giant fox.The severe pain was engraved into his soul and brought back to his body, like an invisible scar.

"Mu Qingjia."

He read aloud, and smiled awkwardly with his numb left cheek.
