What Du Rui was referring to was naturally the problem that Li Jian didn't have much time left.Li Jian joined Qingqiong's sect at the age of 17, with mediocre qualifications, and had already missed the best time to cultivate immortality.He cultivated until he was 80 years old and obtained spiritual knowledge, and only then did he finally cross the threshold of cultivating immortals.

Now that he has lost his cultivation base, he will experience ordinary birth, old age, sickness and death just like ordinary people.The remaining decades of his time may not even be enough time to succeed in cultivating immortals again, but would he choose to use the extremely limited time left to accompany Qi Xiu to regain everything he lost?

Du Rui was worried, and when he looked not far away, Li Jian sat there with a relaxed expression on his face, as if he really didn't care about anything.Du Rui felt more angry for no reason.

But having said that, this Li Jian had practiced hard for so many years without giving up, just to step into the gate of the world of cultivating immortals, and after entering the door, he was very thoughtful, obviously a person with deep obsession and plans.I don't know why six years ago, after he was seriously injured and lost his memory, his temperament changed so drastically.

——Is it just because he forgot everything about the past?

After midnight.Li Yang.

This is a small town that is always rainy and full of smoke and water.It is rare to be clear tonight, there is no moon in the sky, how many stars are there, embellishing the night sky a little, making it not so thin.

Since entering the town, Li Jian and his party did not have a sword, but walked on foot.Following Du Rui all the way, Li Jian and Qi Xiu walked around the main street and walked to an alley.

At the end of the alley, someone held a lamp.The orange light greeted her face, her eyes were bright, her smile was gentle, and her eyebrows were stained with the smoke of this small town. She didn't look like a fairy, but she was better than a fairy.

She took a step forward with a lantern, took a deep look at Du Rui, and then at Li Jian and Qi Xiu. "These two are Daoist Fei Jing and his apprentices. I often hear Du Rui mentioning you."

often?Yo, this girl has an unusual relationship with Du Rui.

Li Jian glanced at Du Rui, but Du Rui's expression was normal.He took a step forward and said, "Wan Qing, I'm in trouble."

Speaking of this, Du Rui introduced to Li Jian and Qi Xiu: "This is my friend for many years, Meng Wanqing. Six years ago, before going to Linxi Village, I left temporarily, and she also encountered some troubles."

"I'm the one who troubles you." Meng Wanqing took a step forward, "I have many friends in Taohuaxi Valley. I didn't expect that their deaths back then... would have other secrets behind them. Everyone, come with me first."

Qi Xiu hesitated for a moment, but took a step forward and looked at Du Rui. "Master, the officers and soldiers of the human world and people from the world of cultivating immortals are arresting me, and people from the demon world are chasing and killing me. I don't think this girl Meng has advanced cultivation. If I go, there is no guarantee that I won't bring her a lot of trouble." trouble."

When Qi Xiu said this, Meng Wanqing laughed.She looked at Qi Xiu with bright eyes. "You kid actually called me 'girl', um...Although it seems disrespectful, I think it's very useful to hear it."

"You—" Qi Xiu was surprised.

Aside, Du Rui finally stepped forward to explain. "Wanqing is about the same age as me. Although she doesn't know the art of immortality, the technique of Xuanhuang is probably the best in the world. She is good at alchemy and medicine, so she can not look old. In addition, she has experience in organ formations, five elements and gossip. No one Dare to easily break into her territory. By the way, Junior Brother—"

Du Rui looked at Li Jian. "You also know medicine, so you might as well ask her for advice."

"Thank you." Li Jian nodded slightly at her.

"You're welcome. Come with me." Meng Wanqing turned around, carrying a lantern and leading a group of people towards her residence.

Not far away, a light was lit, and the color was the same as that in Meng Wanqing's hand. When people looked at it, they felt that they were walking home, and they couldn't help feeling a little warm in their hearts.

However, after the slight warmth dissipated, Li Jian couldn't help but frowned deeply.

Meng Wanqing.This name is so familiar.Did it appear in the original?

Wait, Meng Wanqing, Li Yang, medical skills...

Li Jian's eyes widened, and he suddenly remembered who this Meng Wanqing was.

There are very few descriptions of her in the original book, and it should be that the relevant pits have not been filled in.But there is a very important problem, that is, Meng Wanqing is closely related to the main line of the original book.It can be said that without Meng Wanqing, the original story would not be established.

——The wonderful pill that Leng Ruxin gave to Leng Ruyue was made by Meng Wanqing!

According to the original description, the elixir is called "Five Emotions Pill". The essence of Yang can detoxify.Moreover, one man's is not enough, five different men are needed.And this time limit is three years.Within three years, if the five yang essences are not collected, the poisoned woman will die.

In the original book, Leng Ruxin promised Meng Wanqing that she would do something for her, so she got the Wuqing Pill, and then fed the medicine to Leng Ruyue.But what Leng Ruxin promised her, and whether it will be done, the original book has not yet explained.

At that time, Li Jian complained vehemently——Hold the grass, a doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded, how psychopathic is he to refine such a wonderful elixir?

But now, this psychopath is right in front of his eyes.And my first impression of her was that she was as gentle as water.

——Besides, she and Du Rui have a very close relationship, and they didn't know what kind of relationship they had before.

——So, at this moment, is Meng Wanqing an enemy or a friend?

Li Jian couldn't help feeling chills down his spine.

noon the next day.Meng Wanqing entertained a group of people for dinner.

Meng Wanqing's residence is a stilted building with eaves on the roof and carved dragons and phoenixes in the corridors.The stilted building is built against the river, looking out of the window, you can just see the sunlight covering the river.

The advantage of the stilted building is that the home is protected from too much moisture.Therefore, this building is built by the water, in this humid town, but the home does not feel too humid.

Meng Wanqing's residence has three floors. The first floor is where she puts sundries, the second floor is where she lives and entertains guests, and the third floor is full of her various medicinal materials and alchemy vessels.

Breakfast is a local specialty. There are many bamboos here, so the dishes are mainly bamboo, including bamboo fungus eggs, bamboo fungus stewed black-bone chicken, spring bamboo shoots and fish fillets, etc.

The ingredients are fresh, the color and fragrance are complete, and the green mountains and clear waters should have been a very pleasant scene.What's more, the cook of this meal is still a big beauty.

But now looking at Meng Wanqing, thinking that she cooked this meal, Li Jian lost her appetite at all. ——Who knows if there are those strange medicines in these meals?

On the side, Meng Wanqing seemed to see something strange, stepped forward and said, "Why doesn't Master Feijing eat it? Do you think the food I make is not to your taste?"

"Ah, that's not true, I just..." Li Jian coughed lightly, thinking about what to say.

At that moment, Qi Xiu got up and looked at Meng Wanqing, "Borrow the kitchen of the senior. Master may be used to eating what I cook and can't eat anything else."

After hearing this, Meng Wanqing raised her hand to cover her lips and smiled slightly, "Okay, come with me."

After the meal, Li Jian and Qi Xiu went to help Meng Wanqing go to the foot of the nearby mountain to collect herbs. According to Meng Wanqing, these herbs were needed for them to go to Taohuaxi Valley.

Du Rui stayed behind to help Meng Wanqing wash the dishes and clean the kitchen.

Meng Wanqing looked at the back of the master and the apprentice walking away from the window, and then looked back at Du Rui. "Du Rui—"

"What's wrong?" Du Rui looked up at Meng Wanqing, only to see that she was wearing a purple robe with floating skirts, like a painting scroll of splashed ink.She stood there quietly, like the most beautiful scenery.

Every time he saw her, Du Rui felt very peaceful in his heart.

Seeing this, Meng Wanqing smiled lightly, and said, "Do you feel...there is something wrong between the master and the apprentice?"

"What's the problem?" Du Rui raised his eyes and asked.

"Naturally, it's a question that goes against ethics. Don't mind. I've lived for so long, what haven't I seen? Naturally, I won't have any prejudice against the two of them. However, Li Jian is still the head of Muyun Peak after all. You are his senior brother, but you are also in charge of Qingqiongli. I remind you of this, just to make you pay attention." Meng Wanqing looked at him, "One is a cultivator, and the other is a demon. Both of them are men, or Master and apprentice. If this matter gets out...after all, it will affect Qing Qiong's reputation."

"You mean the two of them..." Du Rui was a little taken aback, and then said, "I know Li Jian. His personality is just like this. He is good to everyone and even better to his apprentice. I don't think there is a relationship between them. What. He's just a calf."

"Li Jian Qixiu... seems to be fine. But Qixiu is different." Meng Wanqing narrowed her eyes and smiled, the corners of her eyes were raised, and the amorous feelings in her eyes were revealed in an instant, and there was some meaning. "The way he looked at Li Jian was the same as when you looked at me..."

After hearing this, Du Rui's expression became a little complicated.

Meng Wanqing raised her eyes, glanced at him, and finally said: "Well, maybe there is no need to worry too much. After all, you don't look at me like this now. Maybe, Qi Xiu's feelings for Li Jian... will pass Woolen cloth."

"Wan Qing..." Du Rui sighed softly.

"It's nothing. Just kidding. You don't mind." The smile on Meng Wanqing's face is still bright, "I really just remind you. Speaking of which, you can see that Li Jian has become like this now. Mu Yunfeng is always withered. .The chiefs of all dynasties did not end well, could it be that... the curse of the past has been fulfilled?"

After saying this, seeing Du Rui's expression was too serious, Meng Wanqing smiled to himself, and finally turned and walked downstairs. "I am talking too much. But that incident is not your fault. You have saved him so many times in the past hundred years, and your kindness is enough. Let's go. Go to Peach Blossom Valley."

Two hours later, the group arrived at Peach Blossom Valley.

Eighteen years ago, a severe snow disaster occurred in Taohuaxi Valley, and the food in the valley was cut off. The only road leading to the outside world was buried by heavy snow, and the opportunity to exchange food with the outside world was lost.

Afterwards, Emperor Xuande opened the national treasury for relief, sent officers and soldiers to transport grain, and commanded the officers and soldiers to shovel snow into the valley.But in the end, the villagers all died.This tragedy has been talked about for years.But everyone thought it was just because the snow was so heavy that the officers and soldiers failed to enter the valley in time.It took them half a month to travel from Huaichi, the imperial capital, to Taohuaxi Valley, and another month to clear the snow and enter the valley.

Probably the sky is going to kill this Peach Blossom Valley.Everyone is so emotional.It wasn't until Master Zixia, the master of Qingqiong, noticed that the demon world was frequently active in the human world recently, and even realized that they had been active in the Peach Blossom Valley, and the time coincided with the snow disaster, so he sent his disciple Jinghua to investigate secretly. Behind the tragic events of that year, there is another hidden story.

At this moment, Li Jian walked into the Peach Blossom Valley and stepped on the only stone road that could enter the valley, feeling heavy in his heart.

At the end of the road, in front of the Peach Blossom Valley, a stone statue of a woman appeared.

The stone statue of a woman stands gracefully, with gentleness and grandeur in her brows and eyes at the same time.

Li Jian looked at her, and for a moment felt that her eyebrows were somewhat similar.Then he remembered that she looked like Qi Xiu, and even Zhong Licheng.

At that moment, Qi Xiu half-knelt down towards the stone statue, and called respectfully: "Mother Concubine."

"This is..." Li Jian frowned.

"Yes. She is my mother." Qi Xiu got up and nodded to Li Jian, "Originally, I didn't have a deep impression of my mother. But that day in Lingfengbao, I saw a portrait of my mother. I can be sure , This is the mother concubine."

After hearing this, Li Jian couldn't help but look at the stone statue again.

Qi Xiu's mother is a demon.The so-called traces of demons found by the head, does it refer to Qi Xiu's mother and concubine?

But if the snow disaster had something to do with Qi Xiu's mother, her stone statue could not exist here.Usually, villagers build stone statues of a person because they worship him.

——What happened 18 years ago?

The author has something to say: I was a little excited last night and didn't sleep well.Because I am trying to make up for the meat of the master and the apprentice... Hahahaha, I plan to let myself go and write about the meat.Please look forward to it with me.

In addition, I sent a small red envelope to those who left a message yesterday, happy Mid-Autumn Festival, a small red envelope is not a respect, O(∩_∩)O.
