lead fades away

Han Shuo personally delivered Qingshi to Xiankelai's door, and seeing him enter the inn, he turned and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.

Qing Shi really wanted to tell him that he could enter the underground palace without going to the city lord's mansion, but after thinking that Han Shuo had opened a ready-made "passage" there, he swallowed the words again.

The inn was also surprisingly quiet at the moment, there was a guy standing behind the counter in the lobby, but when he saw Qing Shi entering the door under the escort of a senior monk, he only smiled and did not go forward to greet him.

With a mask on his face, Qing Shi didn't bother to return a smirk, and walked through the lobby as if he hadn't seen it, and walked to the backyard.

Hao Wen didn't come back either, and the surrounding courtyards were also empty. Thinking about the deserted road when he came back, he couldn't help but have the weird idea of ​​"the whole Jinbi City has entered the underground palace".

——That kind of dark tunnel, you can make a lot of money just by playing sap!

While guessing wildly with evil intentions, Qingshi carefully looked at the path under his feet, for fear that he would be sent to the underground palace again by accident.Fortunately, the entrances of the underground palace are not next to each other. At least, Qingshi only found a suspected entrance in the corner of the courtyard.But Qingshi threw a stone in the past but didn't get any reaction, and he didn't want to risk himself, so he just ignored it and went straight into the house he lived in.

After entering the house, Qingshi took out the materials and set up a security circle on the window lattice and the door, took out the bathtub from the treasure bag, packed out a bucket of bath soup, took off his clothes, and jumped in.

Because the cleansing spell evolved from the exorcism technique is simpler than the exorcism technique, many monks have lost the habit of bathing with water, but Qingshi loves the warm touch when soaked in water, even if it does not need a medicated bath , I also need to get a bucket of hot water to soak it from time to time.

However, the habit of Qingshi was only formed after obtaining a worry-free body. Long ago, like other monks, he used spells to purify his body. .

——Perhaps you will know how to cherish it if you really lose it.

Being soaked in the warm bath soup, Qingshi couldn't help but think of the coldness of the fairy world.

In fact, it may not be really cold, but the physical body has already dissipated during the ascension. Although the remaining soul has the form of the physical body, it no longer has the five senses of the physical body.

When I first entered the fairyland, because I didn't adapt to this state, I couldn't move an inch for a long time.Later, although I finally got used to seeing, hearing, and touching with my spiritual sense, it was still far from the real five senses. No matter how skillfully I used my spiritual sense, it seemed that something was missing, not fulfilling and satisfying enough.

Thinking of Yuanshen, Qing Shi reached out and took out the Soul Eater Blade from the storage ring, pinched it in his hand and looked at it over and over again, and finally put it back again.

—Let’s talk about it in a safer place!

Qing Shi didn't want to take risks in Jinbi City, so he could only let the Nascent Soul in Soul Eater be at ease for a while.

Qing Shiben also wondered whether Hao Wen would come back when he was taking a bath, but the plot in this storybook never happened. Until he got dressed and packed up the tub, Hao Wen was nowhere to be seen.

In this way, Qingshi was a little worried about him, and thinking that the people of Xiantrumen had not returned all night, he couldn't help but think a little more.He was just worried, but he would not run back to the underground palace to look for someone just because of this worry, but he rolled his eyes and remembered the bottle of incense that Hao Wen gave him.

Qing Shi reached out and took out the porcelain bottle containing Xun Zongxiang from the treasure bag, looked around a few times, then walked to the window lattice, took out some powder from the bottle with the object control technique, and sprinkled it on the window lattice extension.

——Didn’t you say that you can find me with Xunzongxiang?Then come and find it!

Thinking in this way, Qing Shi put away the remaining Xun Zong Incense, returned to the bed in the inner room, meditated cross-legged, and invoked the Qi Yin Jue.

When using Yin Qi Jue to draw the spiritual energy in the body until No. 12 Zhoutian, there was finally movement from outside the house.Qing Shi immediately dispelled the unabsorbed spiritual energy, retracted his spiritual energy into the meridians, and then got up and walked to the door.

As soon as he entered the main hall, the door of the main hall was pushed open first, and Hao Wen strode in with a woman covered in blood on his back. Seeing that Qingshi was inside, he immediately raised his eyebrows and asked, "When did you come back? "

"It's been almost a day since I've been back." Qing Shi curled her lips, and turned her gaze to the woman on Hao Wen's back, but she looked familiar no matter how she looked.

"I say darling, don't just look at it, give me a hand!" Hao Wen sighed helplessly, while taking the female cultivator off his back.

Now, Qingshi finally saw the face of the female cultivator clearly, and couldn't help being surprised, "Xinyi?!"

"It really is her?" Hao Wen picked up the female cultivator who had been unloaded, walked towards the next room, and said as he walked, "I thought it was her, so I was rescued. Fortunately, there was no mistake."

"How did she become like this?" Qing Shi hurriedly followed.

"I'll explain to you later." Hao Wen put the unconscious Xinyi on the bed in the wing room, turned around and said to Qing Shi, "If you know medical skills, show her, I have to go outside first to deal with the blood stains and so on. .”

"En." Qingshi nodded, walked to the bed, grabbed Xinyi's wrist, placed her fingers on her pulse, and concentrated on checking.

Hao Wen turned around and left the house, and it took about an incense stick before turning back again.

At this time, Qingshi had already fed Xinyi the most basic hemostatic medicine and qi-tonifying pills, tore off her clothes and began to check the trauma.

"Darling, you are too careless, aren't you? Men and women can't kiss each other!" Seeing that Qingqing stripped Xinyi naked without blinking an eye, Hao Wen couldn't help touching his nose and began to tease.

"If you pay more attention to it, you will die." Qing replied without raising his head.

Hao Wen also noticed that Xinyi seemed to be bleeding profusely, and hurried over, "Why, the external injury is more serious than the internal injury?"

"It's not trauma, it's...a miscarriage." Qing Shi replied somewhat helplessly.He had never dealt with a pregnant female nun before, and he was at a loss right now, so he could only increase the dose of hemostatic powder for Xinyi according to the method of treating the inner abdominal concussion, and then give her some medicinal materials for nourishing qi and nourishing blood. .

"She's pregnant?" Hao Wen's expression changed suddenly, and there was even a trace of panic in his eyes.

"The child is gone, so, it's just that once... Uh, why do you look like this? Could it be your seed?" Qingshi turned his head and saw Hao Wen's face changed, so he couldn't help raising his eyebrows in surprise.

"How is it possible!" Hao Wen quickly calmed down, and rolled his eyes back at Qing Shi, "Which of my body do you think can make a woman pregnant?"

"The one in the foundation building period doesn't work either?" Qing Shi asked.

"That body is just a 'shell', only a little hotter than a corpse." Hao Wen said indifferently.

"Oh." Qingshi blinked, then asked, "How did you save Xinyi?"

"When I was looking for you in the underground palace, I saw her being hunted down by people from Penglai Pavilion." Hao Wen said, "I remembered that she was a disciple of Xiantrumen and had a good relationship with you, so I rescued her. As for her Why I was hunted down, I don’t know for the time being.”

"Was it hunted down by Penglai Pavilion, or by the Shen family?" Qing Shi asked.

"This, it's really hard to define." Hao Wen spread his hands and said, "The Jindan cultivator from Penglai Pavilion and the small foundation builder from the Shen family were chasing her. Shen Xitong was not present."

Qing Shi frowned, didn't ask any more questions, just pulled a thin quilt from the bed to cover Xinyi, then turned around and walked to the table next to the Eight Immortals, took out a few jade boxes containing elixir from the storage ring, He also took out a set of pharmaceutical tools from his treasure bag, and cut, prepared and ground them on the spot.

"You're willing to do it!" Hao Wen couldn't help but whistled when he saw that the tool Qingshi took out was a high-grade elixir, and there was a thousand-year-old precious ginseng in it.

"Saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, don't you know?" Qing Shi replied indifferently.

"I really just found out that you are actually kind-hearted." Hao Wen teased pointingly.

"I'm a person. I always treat people as others treat me." Qing Shi said calmly, "Xinyi never betrayed me, so naturally I won't let her down."

——Although, she will be disappointed after waking up.

Thinking of Xinyi's lost child, Qing Shi secretly sighed, but he was helpless, after all, he was not the creator, and he really didn't have the ability to make people out of dirt.

"The child in her stomach is not yours, is it?" Hao Wen asked with raised eyebrows.

"If this child is mine—" Qing Shi raised his head to meet Hao Wen's gaze, and said word by word, "I will never let her become what she is now!"

Hearing this sentence, Hao Wen suddenly fell silent.Although Qing Shi wondered if he accidentally poked Hao Wen's sore spot, he was not interested in getting to the bottom of it, so he turned around and continued to mess with the herbs on the table.

Worried that the delay would be too long and he would lose too much blood, Qing Shi chopped up a few tonic herbs and ground them into powder, then poured water into Xinyi's stomach, and then continued to prepare the ingredients for making soup.

Hao Wen also regained his composure at this time, and asked with a normal face, "You came back too early, did you not enter the underground palace at all?"

"I went in, and came out again when I felt bored." Qingshi replied, "Speaking of which, when will the outer cover disappear?"

"When the time comes, it will disappear naturally." Hao Wen said with a smile.

"You guys from the Jiuliu League didn't open this protective magic circle?" Qing Shi raised his eyebrows and asked.

"If the protective magic circle doesn't open, how can it attract the attention of Han Shuo and others, so that you can escape smoothly?" Hao Wen said proudly.

"...you are the one who opened the magic circle?" Qing Shi twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Of course!" Hao Wen leaned forward with a smile, "My dear, shouldn't you thank me well?"

——I thank you eight generations of ancestors!

Qing Shi snorted, didn't mention the fact that he was blocked by Han Shuo, just turned his hand and took out a light blue bead, and threw it into Hao Wen's arms.

Hao Wen reached out to catch it, and asked in confusion, "Ye Mingzhu? You just use this thing to thank me?"

"I don't know the goods! These are water-proof beads!" Qingshi rolled his eyes.

"...I really don't think this thing is much better than Ye Mingzhu." Hao Wen was obviously dissatisfied, but he didn't give it back. He played with it a few times and stuffed it into his storage bag.

—Your help is worth it.

Qing Shi slandered in his heart, but didn't say anything more, turned back and continued to stare at the medicinal soup on the stove.

Hao Wen soon felt bored again, and said again out of words, "Why do you think the underground palace is boring? Did you not go to a good place, and only went around a few times before turning back?"

"Are you familiar with the people below?" Qing Shi glanced at Hao Wen and asked without answering.

"It was originally discovered by our Jiuliumeng, so it's as familiar as our own backyard." Hao Wen shrugged, "Why don't I take you down for a walk so you can see it?"

"You take me down to the underground palace, what will she do then?" Qing Shi frowned.

"Uh—" Hao Wen couldn't help being stunned, he was only interested in teasing Qing Shi, and for a moment he forgot that there was a living person lying on the bed.

At this moment, Xinyi on the bed suddenly moaned, apparently about to wake up.

This movement of hers dispelled Hao Wen's embarrassment. She didn't even care about the soup here, and walked quickly to the bedside, calling softly, "Xinyi? Xinyi?"

Xinyi slightly opened her eyes, because Qingshi was still wearing a mask, she couldn't help showing a trace of hesitation, "Qing...what?"

"It's good to be awake." Qing Shi breathed a sigh of relief and squeezed out a smile, "You were injured, do you still remember?"

"Injured?" Xinyi was startled, and then instinctively touched her lower abdomen, "My child, my child..."

Qingshi opened his mouth, but really didn't know how to explain to her.

But without him explaining, Xinyi also realized that she no longer had that life in her belly, and a string of teardrops immediately slid down from her eyes uncontrollably.

"Actually, it's gone if you don't have it." Qing Shi blurted out, "Even if you really want that person's child, you can wait until your body is ready before you borrow it from him. Anyway, men are very vicious, and they will never Refuse your throwing arms and hugs."

Hearing this, Shen Chenzhou next to him couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, but Xinyi on the bed cried and laughed, "It's enough to do this kind of stupid thing once."

"It's good that you know it's a stupid thing." Qingshi nodded, then asked, "Why were you hunted down by people from Penglai Pavilion?"

"I..." Xinyi didn't answer, but glanced at Hao Wen next to her hesitantly.

"He was the one who rescued you." Qingshi explained, seeing that Xinyi still had no intention of speaking, he immediately asked Hao Wen, "Excuse me, Hao Xianjun, can I trouble you to avoid it for a while?"

"It's okay." Hao Wen shrugged, turned and walked out of the wing.

In fact, with Hao Wen's spiritual cultivation, as long as there is no soundproof circle in the room, he can still hear clearly even if he is standing in the yard. This is just for Xinyi's peace of mind.

Sure enough, after Hao Wen went out, Xinyi raised her hand to wipe the tears off her face, and was about to get up to speak, but found that she was naked, and quickly put down her arms to press the quilt on her body.

"You are covered in blood, so I can only act in a hurry." Qing Shi explained.

"It doesn't matter, I'm not a clean body, I don't have the face to care about this." Xinyi laughed at herself.

Qing Shi curled his lips, although he didn't take Xinyi's statement seriously, but he didn't take her seriously at this time, he just said, "Tell me, what's going on?"

"I, killed the grandson of the Shen family, Shen Yaohua." Xinyi said word by word.

Qing Shi couldn't help being taken aback, "Why? He wants to cheat on you, or..."

"No, it's not what you think." Xinyi shook her head, "He has never done anything to me, nor has he had any enmity with me, but... when I saw him in the underground palace, I just... Involuntarily moved to kill."

"You were hit by the phantom array?" Qing Shi thought habitually.

"That would be fine." Xinyi smiled wryly, "I'm simply obsessed with ghosts, thinking that if I kill this person, I can help him, so that he can remember me more or less... "

Qing Shi frowned immediately, and asked coldly, "The person who made you conceive the child, wouldn't it be 'Shen Shenzhou'?"

Xinyi twitched the corners of her mouth, and replied with a self-deprecating wry smile.

"How did you get together? When you were at Xiantrumen, you didn't have a good relationship?" Seeing Xinyi admit it, Qing Shi became curious.

"Maybe...empathy?" Xinyi smiled wryly again, "When I met him, I thought he would take me back to Xiantrumen, but he didn't. He throws peaches at him, and I naturally have to return them with plums, and then, back and forth..."

——When I helped you, you didn't repay me like this.

Qing Shi pouted, grabbed her first sentence and asked, "What about empathy? Does he still regard you as someone's substitute?"

"You!" Xinyi giggled, tears fell from the corners of her eyes again, "He always thought that the reason why you left Xiantrumen was because he failed to respond to your 'admiration', so when he saw that he also left Zong As a door-to-door me, I am in love with the scene..."

"Hey?!" Qing Shi almost choked on his own saliva, "I admire him? Has he been kicked in the head by a donkey?!"

"I also don't think it's possible." Xinyi wiped the corners of her eyes again, and laughed mockingly, "But I dare not tell him, if I let him understand that he just had a misunderstanding, he might never feel sorry for me again. gone."

"You're an idiot too!" Qing Shi snorted, "No matter how empathetic you are, it's impossible to move from a man to a woman, right? It's just an excuse to justify your behavior, but you still believe it!"

"How dare I not believe it? How can I not believe it?" Xinyi sighed sadly, "He is the eldest son and grandson of the Shen family in Penglai Pavilion, and an elite disciple of Xiantrumen. What am I? An orphan who doesn't even have a surname Girl, after more than 40 years of cultivation, she is only a Wuwei monk in the early stage of foundation establishment!"

"Look, you look down on yourself, who else can you make look down on you?" Qing Shi sneered, "Do you think that if you kill the Shen family who competed with him for succession, he will remember you? Don't forget, then Shen Huahua is his own younger brother! If you kill him, it means that you have forged a feud with Shen Chenzhou for killing your brother! As long as he still has the slightest idea of ​​wanting to inherit the Shen family, he will definitely not associate with you again. Not good, I will kill you with my own hands to avenge my brother!"

"Even if we didn't have this enmity, we wouldn't be able to be together." Xinyi said with a miserable smile, "He has stayed in the sect to practice hard now, and after he has formed the alchemy, he will marry a beautiful female cultivator who is also an elite disciple of Xianchumen ...he...he said sorry to me...sorry to me—”
