"I don't know where to go." Qi Yin said.

He was sitting on a wicker chair with a cup of hot bitter tea in his hand.Ye Qingming and Yun Zhi were leaning against the door, and after hearing what Qi Yin said, they turned their heads and looked over, with obvious surprise in their eyes.Qing Shi sat at the head, still smiling.This fat man has always been like this, smiling so hard that his eyes narrowed, making it hard to figure out what he was thinking.

Qing Shi smiled and said: "I thought you would go, but it seems that I miscalculated. May I ask why?"

Qi Yin shrugged and said, "It's mainly because of embarrassment. My cousin Yao Xiaoshan is pretending to be me and cultivating immortals in Wufang. I'm going. It's so embarrassing to have a face-to-face meeting with him. And those people in Wufangshan... "Qi Yin rubbed the ground with her toes, "Every time I talk about Qi Shenwei, I always mention my mother, who is neither yin nor yang, I don't like it."

"Oh..." Qing Shi nodded thoughtfully, "It's true that I didn't think about it."

"What are you afraid of?" Yun Zhi leaned over and scratched his neck, "Let's draw a talisman to change your appearance, even if we go, Yao Xiaoshan won't recognize you. As for Wufang and those guys, whoever dares to call your mother I will be the first to beat up his mother, your senior brother."

Qi Yin gave him a sideways glance, "There is nothing to show courteousness to, either adultery or robbery. What do you want?"

"Oh," Yun Zhi laughed, showing a mouthful of white teeth, "Your senior brother, I have always cared about you."

Qi Yin: "..."

Believe him and he is a ghost.

"Wufang is the largest sect in the world. I thought that even if the little disciple hated Yuanwei, he would want to see the world. Now it seems that the little disciple's heart is calm and calm, which is beyond the old man's expectation. "Qing Shi shook his head and smiled, "However, you might as well listen to the old man before making a decision." Qing Shi raised his sleeves, "Tong Yi, take the life lamp."

A boy bowed his head in response and turned into the back room.The other boys closed the windows and closed the doors, and lowered the bamboo curtains.The room suddenly darkened, and Qi Yin was baffled, wondering what they were up to.After a while, the boy in the back room came out holding a glazed lamp and put it on the tea table next to Qing Shi.

The lamp was gloomy, and it was very strange, its flame turned out to be faint blue, like a will-o'-the-wisp from the underworld.The lamp looked very old, the copper base was covered with a layer of moldy green rust, and the carvings were all blurred.

Qing Shi said: "Little disciple, do you know whose life lamp this is?"

"..." Qi Yin looked at Qing Shi, his expression was unprecedentedly dignified, Qi Yin suddenly had a guess in his heart.No way, isn't that guy dead?Died while eliminating water ghosts.Qi Yin's lips were dry, and he asked tentatively, "Is it my father?"

"It's him."

"He's still alive?"

"I don't know," Qing Shi shook his head, "The lights are dim, and there is no life or death, which is auspicious. When we were young, your father and I went deep into the monster's lair together to kill demons. The demon's lair is dangerous and strange, and we were sometimes separated during the fight. In order to know each other's situation, the two of us dripped blood into the lamp and lit the life lamp. In this way, even if we are thousands of miles apart, we can know whether each other's lives are safe or not." He looked down at the lamp, "On the eighth day of April this year, I sat quietly in the mountains, Suddenly, the lights turned dark. Not long after, the news of Yuan Wei's death came from nowhere. At the same time, there was another thing visiting late at night."

"what?"

"A flyer that burns as soon as you read it," Qing Shi said, "Send a letter: Don't let my son go into trouble!"

Yunzhi then said: "There is no signature on the fly post, but among Master's friends, there are children, and there is no one else but your father. So Master ordered me to go to Wufang overnight, and I pretended to meet you halfway, and followed you down the mountain to find your son. Ran, I wanted to snatch you away halfway. Fortunately, that guy didn't recognize you, so I took you away openly."

"Wu Fang said that your father was a water-removing ghost who was seriously injured and died," Ye Qingming said aside, "but your father is a swordsmanship genius who is rare in a hundred years. He can control a thousand flying swords at the same time. Saibei Wolf The king was defeated by his sword, how capable is the water ghost of the Yinghe River? Besides, your father went to the Yinghe River at the beginning of the year, and the news of his death only came out in April this year. There is no way to say what the old injury relapsed, and what injury could last four years. It’s been a month, and the lights have turned dark, isn’t that a deceit?”

"So you think, my father didn't suffer from getting rid of water ghosts?" Qi Yin asked.

The three nodded together.

"What do you mean by not dying?"

Ye Qingming scratched his chin and said, "We don't know about that. It's the first time we've seen the life lamp show this color."

"In order to investigate this matter," Qing Shi stroked his beard and said, "We sent you, Qing and Uncle Shi, to go deep into Wufang under the pretext of going to the pavilion to investigate secretly."

"But what did you find out?"

Qing Shi shook his head slightly, and said: "No. However, he checked the roster of Wu Fang's disciples and found that five people were missing. And these people all disappeared on the same day, not long before the lights turned dark, on the fifth day of April. "

"Do you suspect that their disappearance has something to do with my father?"

Qing nodded.

Qi Yin was in a very complicated mood, and said: "Then what's the use of you looking for me, although he and I are father and son, but we don't have any kind of telepathic connection, and we don't have any kind of telepathy. Even if I go, I won't be able to find him."

"You can," Qing Shi patted his shoulder and said, "Xiao Yin, the only one who can find him in this world is you."

As soon as he stretched out his hand, he took out a compass out of nowhere, but the pointer was rusted and fixed.Qingming pulled up Qi Yin's wrist and swiped at Qi Yin's palm, immediately drawing a finger-long bloodstain.Qi Yin yelled in pain: "What are you doing!"

The blood flowed down between the fingers, and Qing Shi used the compass to catch his blood, and the rust on it melted away bit by bit, and the pointer rotated slowly, pointing to the south.

"This is..." Qi Yin stared at the compass.

"Blood compass," Ye Qingming said, "if there is live blood that has been out of the body for less than an hour, it will point you in the direction of your parents and children. People usually use it to find relatives. It is very expensive, and it can only be bought for 50 taels of silver. A part."

"Then how can you afford it?"

"We didn't buy it, it was made by your master himself." Ye Qingming said, "That's not the point, the point is that Ling Ci has passed away, and you probably didn't have any illegitimate children, right? So it must refer to... "

Looking out along the direction of the pointer, the skylight hits the ground through the plain window screen, and the cloud shadows sway inside.Qi Yin murmured: "Qi Shenwei."

He felt very uncomfortable. He knew earlier that the man he should call his father had died, and he was confused, but he didn't feel very sad.Knowing that he might still be alive now, his heart is still confused and he doesn't feel very happy.

When he was a child, he made excuses for Qi Shenwei, guessing that Qi Shenwei had some secrets in not coming to find him.But even if it was a big secret, he couldn't forgive Qi Shenwei for ignoring her for 18 years.It's not like this dog sword fairy doesn't know...he also has a child.What is Tuogu before he dies?Qi Yin thought, did he repent before he died?Atonement?

He remembered that Zhao Ran said that Qi Shenwei had confessed his own mistakes in front of the teacher's gate and punished himself to sit in meditation.What is this indicating?Qi Yin lowered her eyelashes and thought, probably to Qi Shenwei, he and his mother were the only stains on his innocent life, glaring and embarrassing.

"Xiaoyin..." Qing Shi took his hand, squinting his mung bean-sized eyes, with tears in his eyes, "In the end, it's a life, think again?"

Qi Yin couldn't bear it, alas, this fat man was right, he couldn't let that dog sword fairy die inexplicably.Qi Yin muffled: "Okay, I'll go!"

Before going out, Qing Shi took out a long sword and handed it to Qi Yin, "This is Yuan Wei's Gui Mei Sword, it's time to give it to you."

It was a three-foot-long light sword. Qi Yin had heard about this sword before. It seemed to be some kind of ancient spirit sword, which Qi Shenwei got in the belly of a big demon.Since Qi Shenwei became famous in all directions, nine out of ten swords made in the blacksmith shop in Wutang Town are called "Guimi".Nine out of ten of the mahogany swords held by children running around on the street are marked with "Gui Mei".He also had one when he was a child. The sword he sharpened and carved by himself was later snatched away by Yao Xiaoshan.

Unexpectedly, now, he actually got the truth.

Qi Yin took the sword and pulled out the scabbard, but he didn't see the radiance as expected, as cold as snow.He saw that the blade of the sword was covered with rust, mottled and mottled, like the face of an old man, and the sun was fading away.

By the way, he heard that all the powerful fairy swords recognize their masters, but they are ignorant, so they probably don't recognize him.Qi Yin shrugged, quickly put away his sword, and turned around to go, but when he crossed the threshold, he suddenly stopped, turned his head and asked, "You all made up your mind to let me go, right? What if I insist?"

"Then I have no choice but to knock you out and let Yun Zhi take you away." Qing Shi replied with a smile.

Qi Yin: "..."

What about not forcing it?

Watching Qi Yin go down the mountain steps and disappear into the faint mist, Yun Zhi folded his arms and said, "Gui Mei is an ancient spiritual sword. If you don't recognize the master, the arm of the sword holder will be frozen by frost. I just held it I grasped the hilt of the sword, and the frost covered my elbows, almost freezing me to death. Junior brother clearly held the sword securely, why couldn't he get rid of the rust?"

Qing Shi smiled wryly and said: "It's not that Gui Mo won't let him solve it, but because the child's spiritual power is too low to be solved. After all, he is Yuan Wei's child, how can Gui Mo not recognize him? Young people, or You need to practice more."

The day before departure, Qi Yin went to Siguo Cliff.The night is thick, like ink that cannot be melted.He climbed to the cliff and called "Brother Wolf" before jumping.A white figure jumped over from below, he put his hands behind his head, and lay down in the wolf king's soft, fluffy fur.

"Stinky boy, you are too arrogant, what do you take me for? A mount?" The wolf king cursed, "If I don't come here, you will be smashed into meat paste."

"Then you're here, haven't you?" Qi Yin looked lazily at the sky, "Brother Wolf, there's no way to talk about it at the end of the year, and I have to leave tomorrow."

"It's just you who talk about the Tao, come on. Wufang's gang of bull-nosed Taoist priests, although they are stinky every day, they are really capable. You Fenghuan gang can barely watch, except for Yun Zhi, and the rest are provided for others. The shoes don’t even match. Ah, yes,” said the Wolf King, “Let your brother go, your brother is a born evil star, let him go, and Wu Fang’s gang of immortals have to make way too.”

"I'm just going to learn more, and I'll be back after a while." Qi Yin sat up and said, "Brother Wolf, I have nowhere to go this time, maybe I will meet my dead ghost father, maybe he is dead I'm still alive, do you have anything to tell me?"

"..." The wolf king was silent for a while, his golden eyes flickering. After a long while, Qi Yin heard him say, "It's been 20 years since I said goodbye to your dead father. 20 years ago, my lord A mangy wolf captured a girl. The girl was skinny, with no flesh on her body, and she cooked delicious food. Your father was entrusted to come here to fight Lao Tzu. The battle was dark and dark On the ground, I lost two tricks, and I got a lottery on my body. But at the last moment, I ran on the clouds, glanced, and saw the girl taking a bath in the mountain stream. I kicked your father into the mountain stream, hahaha, I If you can't beat him, that girl can beat your father to the point of bleeding."

"You are too cloudy." Qi Yin was speechless.

"What do you mortals say? Soldiers never tire of cheating. Who told your father to be thin-skinned? If I fell into it, I wouldn't panic, and I would go straight up. You girls are naked, how dare you talk nonsense with me?" The wolf king snorted. .

"Where did you call?" Qi Yin asked.

"Wujiang."

"..." Qi Yin was stunned, the girl this guy is talking about is his mother, right?

"I've been away for 18 years. I've lived for so long. I guess Shouyuan is about to come to an end." The wolf king stood up, with the wind blowing through his ears, and his snow-white fur rolled like a wave. "Boy, if you see your father, follow him." Said, when we meet in the underworld, I will definitely fight him again!"
