"They are all there," Qing Shi said, "Wufangshan speculates that there may be some great witchcraft circle left in Bashan. Some people's spiritual consciousness is not strong enough and they have been isolated. After four days of searching, nearly half of the spiritual consciousness disappeared. They still found nothing. Once the spiritual consciousness completely disappeared, they would not be able to get in touch with Wufang Mountain. To be on the safe side, Wufang Mountain decided to return. Since there was no need to search, Elder Zong Lan ordered everyone to use the sword. But they found that the Sword Control formula was also ineffective No spells can be cast in that mountain."

"Is there any restriction?"

"Wufang Mountain also guessed the same way, but they searched for a long time, but they couldn't find a way to crack it. In desperation, they had to go back on foot. Fortunately, there was a sound when the compass needle turned, and they judged the direction by the touch and the sound of the needle turning. The team It became more and more silent, and everyone understood that after going in for so long, and encountering strange things one after another, he must be in a bad mood. Besides reporting the count, Zong Lan also tried to boost morale, and even gossiped during the break, but there was no way Encourage everyone. On the last day, only Zong Lan's spiritual consciousness remained in Xiao Shijing. According to speculation, they were already close to the edge of Bashan at this time. However, something happened."

"What happened?"

"Before, they were all connected by ropes, and there was a distance between them. People who practice the Tao don't eat or drink, and most of them are withdrawn and independent. They rarely touch each other. Until that day, Zong Lan sent a message to Xiao Shijing with his spiritual sense, saying that his Qiankun bag fell on the ground, and when he lowered his head to touch it, he accidentally bumped into his companion. He said that the person's body was so hard He was frozen again, already dead. He tried words, and his companions were either silent or gave a few short answers. Zong Lan finally said that he thought there was no living person around him."

Qi Yin opened his eyes and said, "No way, those who have been following him these days are all dead people? How can dead people talk?"

Qing Shi shook his head, "I don't know, no one knows what happened to them. Maybe some monsters occupied their bodies and imitated their speech. Maybe they didn't even know that they were dead. Zong Lan felt that he was in crisis It has come, and the end of life is not long. I confessed my last words, cut the rope and started on the road again. Those things did not follow him, but until his consciousness disappeared, the mirror did not see him leaving Bashan, and we never waited for him to return to Wufang Mountain. .”

"Until now, you still don't know what's inside?"

Qing shook his head.

This matter sounds mysterious, and there are many doubts, no matter how Qi Yin hears it, he doesn't think it's true.Looking up at Shi, he still looks like an old god, so why not make up a story to coax him to play?Qi Yin asked: "You just said so much, there are too many strange places. That place is white during the day and dark at night, and there are mountains, and there are no trees in the mountains? They walk as if they are blind, so they won't bump into them? People die. If it doesn't stink, they won't be able to smell it?"

Qing Shi smiled and said: "The problem lies in this place. After that, senior Wu Fang recalled that incident, everywhere was strange and strange. There are forests in the mountains, how can you travel unimpeded all the way? There is wind in the mountains, why don't you hear the wind and beat the fallen leaves? In the mountains There is rain, why don’t you see it raining at night? But when it happened, neither the twelve people nor Wufang Mountain noticed the strangeness and allowed them to go deep into Bashan.”

Qi Yin was stunned for a while, but still couldn't accept it.To be honest, who has seen such gods or Fuxi and Nuwa?In Baobuqi, there is a big monster with great supernatural powers secretly making troubles, maybe it is the heart-eating white deer.It's just that these Taoist priests have low levels of cultivation, can't beat them, and even make up a lot of reasons to cover up.

Qi Yin scratched her head and asked, "Then what does all this have to do with my brother?"

Qing Shi looked at him and said: "Bashan is mysterious, and there is no return for anyone who enters. For many years, no monster dared to approach. Therefore, some little monsters who were injured or lost their group would rest outside Bashan. There are few monsters and natural enemies. Not too much, and I can get some respite. 18 years ago, there was an injured water snake monster living at the foot of Bashan Mountain, on the edge of the white mist. It saw a child coming out of the white mist. Once I saw something coming out of the white mist."

"..." Qi Yin said, "Don't tell me that child is my brother."

Qing Shi smiled meaningfully, and said: "Unfortunately, it's him. This is the first legend about Fulan. Of course, it's just a legend, no one knows if it's true or not."

"Master, you're overthinking." Qi Yin searched his brains to speak for Fulan, "This Fulan is not that Fulan. My brother is a simple and cute little fool who just happens to have the same name as Pig King. As for his breed, The world is full of wonders, and there are so many things we haven’t seen before. Maybe my brother is a fairy, don’t you think?”

Qing Shi tucked up his sleeves and looked at the green hills outside the cliff. The water-red sun was like a dim paper-cut hanging on the blue sky.He smiled and said: "You are right, he is a good boy. This old man has lived for more than forty years, and this is the first time I have seen such a child." He thought of Fulan's eyes, big and black, like a quiet ancient Mirror, "Even Yuan Wei doesn't have such eyes."

Hearing Qi Shenwei's Daoist name, Qi Yin froze.

"The Su Sheng spell used by Yunlan disciple probably came from Bashan. To be honest, I am not curious about what is in the hinterland of southern Xinjiang. The world is so vast, how can mortals exhaust it? It's a pity that few people know this truth " Qing Shi turned his head and looked at Qi Yin against the light, "Xiao Yin, there are two kinds of rumors that are most untrustworthy in this world, one is legend and the other is rumor. Unfortunately, these two kinds of rumors are the most popular Believe me. Whether he is Fulan or not is not up to you, but to the world." Qing Shi said with a gentle smile, "Little apprentice, please remember, you know the identity of Yunlan's disciple, I know Feng and you know it, it's not enough for outsiders to tell. "

The sun shone on Qing Shi's fat and white face. For some reason, Qi Yin saw a kind and gentle light in the squinted eyes of the mung bean-sized head of this shabby master.

Qi Yin was silent for a long while, then stood up with difficulty while leaning on the chair, bowed upright and said: "Teacher, please remember."

The moon is like a round window grille, pasted on the treetops.Qi Yin clutched his wound and walked back slowly, got on the dirt road, seemed to think of something, turned his foot, went back to the hut, went to the back and asked Yun Zhi through the small window: "Hello, Yun Zhi."

Yunzhi poked his head out from inside, "What's wrong?"

"You didn't tell the other brothers and sisters about my brother and master cat, did you?"

"Don't worry, I didn't say anything."

Qi Yin nodded, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Is the relationship between Master and my father good?"

Yun Zhi was obviously stunned, put his arms on the window sill and smiled: "Yes, they are close friends. We slayed demons together 20 years ago, and were known as the 'two gentlemen of the Immortal Gate'. It's a pity that time doesn't support people, our master The longer he grows, the fatter he is, few people know that he was also a handsome man back then."

There was silence under the eaves.Yun Zhi looked at Qi Yin, the boy was standing in the moonlight, his black hair covered his eyes, no expression could be seen on his face.After waiting for a while, the boy smiled and said, "Okay, I see."

Qi Yin walked away, his thin figure went down the bluestone steps, and disappeared into the vast night.Qingming folded his arms and leaned against the treasure stand, and said, "Why did you tell him? What if he runs away?"

Yun Zhi clicked on the window lattice, and said: "What he asked was not 'how is the relationship between Master and my father', but 'Is the relationship between Master and my father very good'. People have guessed it a long time ago, what's the point of hiding it?" Besides..." Yun Zhi laughed, "I think he cares about Uncle Qi."

"At the end of the year, Wufang discussed the Dao, and was forced by that little monster. This kid had an epiphany, and he barely passed the threshold of Wufang, but in the end he is still a half-hearted person." Qingming scratched his ears, "Your master really wants to Let him go without a place?"

"Of course I'm going." Yun Zhi looked out the window and laughed leisurely.He remembered Qi Yin Yujian's running eyes when Lanxian was about to kill Fulan, and said: "Uncle, don't underestimate me as a little junior. Although I'm usually listless, like a wild dog. But the wild dog Crazy is a mad dog."

Red lanterns were hung under the eaves of the tile-roofed house. After a long walk, brothers and sisters squatted on the steps, rinsed their mouths and washed their faces, and greeted him loudly when they saw him.Qi Yin answered one by one, walked across the dirt road, and went back to his and Fulan's hut.Shut the door and bolted it.Fu Lan pasted the talisman on it, and when the talisman was illuminated, the room glowed orange, like a piece of transparent glue-yellow amber. They were insects in the amber, small and thin.

Seeing that Qi Yin came back, Fu Lan brought the medicine box over to help Qi Yin change her bandages and dressings.

His spiritual power repaired most of Qi Yin's injuries, but he couldn't let it heal completely.There is still a big hole in the chest, like the shell of the heart is broken, and something can get in.Fu Lan lowered her eyebrows, her cold fingertips touched his wound, it was icy and slightly painful.Qi Yin thought of the child who came out of the white mist in Qing Shi's mouth, scratched his head, and asked, "Brother, Master told me something about you."

Fu Lan raised her eyes to look at him.

"What those Taoist priests said," the black cat walked over slowly, jumped onto the bed, "you can listen with your left ear, and listen with your right ear. Did he say that idiots killed innocent people indiscriminately, ran amok, bullied men and women?"

"That's not true," Qi Yin said, "He said my brother came to a place where people cannibalize, called Bashan Temple."
