Xianmen does not ask about the mundane

If other people watched a baby girl suddenly appearing on a branch that was clearly empty just now, they would think they saw a ghost and run away, but Qi Zuo and Zhu Lingyou saw the real body of the little girl at a glance—— This is a fine blue-feathered cuckoo bird.

"I didn't expect that Xiaoer didn't talk nonsense, there really is a little ghost here." Zhu Lingyou whispered.

Seeing that the little girl looked unkind, but she was not evil, Qi Zuo withdrew her hand and explained in a gentle voice: "Don't blame the little girl, we have no malicious intentions."

Seeing that the two of them not only showed no fear, but also dared to talk to her, the little cuckoo was taken aback for a while, and after a closer look, she found a faint wisp of aura lingering around them, and asked with some hesitation: "Who are you? "

Qi Zuo said: "We are monks from Xuanqing Mountain, my name is Qi Zuo, this is my junior brother Zhu Lingyuan."

Little Dujuan heard the words and looked at the two of them carefully, and saw that they were indeed wearing chalcedony, a keepsake of the Xuanqing Mountain School, on their chests, and asked doubtfully, "Then what are you here for?"

"Master's old friend came here to visit a few days ago. He didn't want to be sucked by the evil spirits in the mountain and became ill for a long time. I heard that the sacred tree here was also changed. We suspect that it has something to do with Master's old friend. , so I came to check it out, and I would like to ask the girl to make it easier for you."

After hearing this, Little Du Juan relaxed his vigilance, but his expression became even more strange. He neither nodded in agreement nor refused, and seemed hesitant to speak.

Qi Zuo noticed that she seemed to have something to say, so he took the initiative to ask: "I wonder if the little girl has any difficulties? If you trust us, you can explain as much as you want, and we will try our best to help you."

The little Dujuan hesitated for a moment, and finally summoned up the courage to ask: "I don't know when the elder brother Xianshi said that the old man was sucked out of essence?"

Qi Zuo recalled the date of inscription at the end of Qiao Sheng's letter, and said, "No more, no less, exactly half a month ago."

Little Dujuan blurted out: "That's not the essence absorbed by the evil spirits, it was made by Sister Yu."

"Sister Yu?" Zhu Lingyu asked doubtfully.

Little Dujuan explained: "It's the tree spirit of this tree. Half a month ago, it suddenly got a burst of spiritual power, turned into a spirit body and ran out."

Seeing that little Dujuan seemed to know something inside, Qi Zuo stretched out a hand to her and said, "Why don't you come down first and tell us the truth in detail."

Seeing this, the little cuckoo hesitated for a moment, then took the transformation, flew down from the treetops and landed on his palm.

Qi Zuo carefully held the little Dujuan, leaned closer, and asked, "I don't know what to call the little girl?"

As soon as the little cuckoo's small beak opened and closed, it uttered words, saying: "Call me Xiaogu."

Qi Zuo nodded and said: "Just now you said that the spirit of my respected teacher was sucked away by 'Sister Yu', what's going on?"

The little cuckoo tilted his head and said: "There were originally two century-old elm trees like this here. Both elm trees have given birth to tree spirits. The tree spirit of this tree is called Yu, and the tree spirit of the other is called Qiao. We are here I have practiced together in the mountains for many years. I left for a while a few days ago, and when I came back, I saw that sister Qiao’s body was gone. Sister Yu told me that some bad guys had taken sister Qiao away and locked her up. I wanted to find her But Sister Yu's cultivation base was not enough to transform into a spirit body. Unexpectedly, half a month ago, she suddenly got a spiritual power from nowhere. With this power, she forcibly raised her realm and left her body. Let me be here Guard her body. There are no evil things in this mountain, so when I heard Brother Xianshi just said that an old man had been sucked in, I wondered if sister Yu got her spiritual power from there."

"So that's how it is," Qi Zuo suddenly realized, and looked up at the nearly dead elm tree, "Hasn't the rain returned since half a month ago?"

Little Dujuan anxiously said: "Yes, her spirit body has been away for too long, if she doesn't come back, I'm afraid it will be wiped out. But I dare not go to her again, for fear that those nasty mortals will destroy Sister Yu's body too. .”

"No wonder you want to scare people here." Zhu Lingyou said.

Little Dujuan looked at Zhu Lingyu and said, "I have no choice but to rely on transformation to scare those people away. Brother Xianshi, please help me find Sister Yu and the others. Come. If you are willing to agree, I can do anything for you.”

Qi Zuo comforted her and said, "Don't worry, it's the right thing for a cultivator to exorcise evil spirits and help the living beings. Tell me first, did Yu tell you who took Qiao away?"

Little Du Juan shook her head and said, "She didn't say anything."

Qi Zuo asked again: "Then do you know why that person chose Qiao instead of Yu?"

Little Du Juan said: "I guess it's because Sister Qiao's cultivation level is a bit deeper than Sister Yu's, and she can already transform into a spirit body."

Qi Zuo nodded, and thoughtfully said: "I see, we will help you find Yu and Qiao. But, do you have any tokens that can sense them?"

"some."

The little cuckoo nodded, then turned his head and pecked his back with his beak, and took out an elm coin from the lake-blue feathers.

"This is the fruit of Sister Qiao's body. You should be able to sense her with this."

Little Dujuan carefully put the elm money on Qi Yu's palm, and finally said with a little worry: "This is the last thing left by sister Qiao, you must take it away."

Qi Zuo took the tender green elm money with great care, and said in a gentle voice: "Well, we will definitely do our best to help you bring them back. But before that, I still need to trouble you to continue to guard the body of Yu here."

Hearing that Qi Zuo solemnly promised to help her bring back her sister's spirit body, the little Dujuan should have been happy, but she was silent for a long time before nodding and replying: "I know, I will definitely protect it. Sister Yu's body, don't let anyone hurt her."

After saying that, he shook his wings and flew back to the treetops lightly.

Qi Zuo carefully put away the elm money given to him by the little cuckoo, and before leaving, he thought of something, then raised his head and smiled at the little cuckoo on the tree, said "don't worry", and left with Zhu Lingyu.

After walking away, Zhu Lingyu glanced back and asked, "Brother, the tree spirit is a living being and does not carry resentment. If Master Qiao's energy was really sucked away by the tree spirit, then the resentment on him Would not it be?"

Qi Zuo nodded and said: "Well, it can only be infected after leaving Fomu Mountain. I don't know if I was targeted by someone unintentionally, or someone took advantage of the opportunity to retaliate deliberately, so I can only go back later. Get to know the situation."

It was already dark when they returned to the inn, Qiao Sheng remembered that the two of them had ordered the shopkeeper early, so as soon as they entered the lobby, they were led upstairs to have dinner by the waiter.

After using it late, the two went out and smelled a smell of traditional Chinese medicine. When they went downstairs to the backyard, they saw that Xiao Tao was decocting medicine for Qiao Sheng.The two looked at each other, Zhu Lingyu nodded understandingly, went up to Xiao Tao and asked him for help, and sent Xiao Tao away.Qi Zuo took this opportunity to open the medicine jar, and seeing that the medicine was almost boiled, he simply dripped blood into the medicine bowl.When Xiao Tao came back, he happened to see Qi Zuo pouring the soup into a bowl, so he quickly stepped forward to take it and said that he would do it by himself.

Then the three of them went upstairs to deliver the medicine together.After Qiao Sheng drank the decoction mixed with Qi Yu's blood, he soon became more energetic, and his fatigue disappeared. He even said that he would take his two nephews to have a good time in Wuzhou City the next day. However, his body has been exhausted a lot these days, and his body is still very weak. Both of them advised him to rest for two more days, so he had no choice but to give up and let Xiao Tao take the two of them to have a good rest.

After going out, Xiao Tao respectfully sent the two of them back to the room, and Qi Zuo wanted to ask him about the situation, so he asked him to stay.

Xiao Tao asked, "I don't know what orders the immortal master has?"

Qi Zuo said: "Oh, it's nothing, I just want to know about the specific situation of Master Qiao's illness."

Xiao Tao heard it a little strangely and said: "Didn't the immortal master say that he had a common cold during the day, and after drinking the decoction just now, the husband has improved a lot. Could it be that the husband's illness is strange?"

Qi Zuo explained: "No, it's just that Master Qiao's illness is always strange to me. I want to find the cause. It's the best way to cure it. It's not in vain for us to come here."

Xiao Tao then heaved a sigh of relief: "So that's the case. It's really strange to say this. Mr. has always been in good health. I have followed him for many years, and he has never been ill. Therefore, when he first caught the cold, everyone still joked about it. , Said that Mr. finally looks like a mortal. I thought that it would take at most two or three days to recover from a small wind and cold, so everyone didn't take it seriously. I asked the doctor to come and prescribe a few prescriptions so that I could rest, but I didn't think Mr. I can't get sick even if I drink a pair of prescriptions. If it weren't for the two immortal masters who came here during the day, I feel happier and refreshed, I'm afraid I will have to sleep in a drowsy day."

Qi Zuo asked: "I heard that Master Qiao got sick after returning from Fomu Mountain. Today, my junior brother and I went to Fomu Mountain, but we didn't find anything unusual. What strange thing, or what strange person did you see?"

Xiao Tao thought about it for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No."

Qi Zuo asked again: "Brother Tao has followed Master Qiao for many years. I wonder what Brother Tao thinks of Master Qiao?"

Xiao Tao didn't know why he suddenly changed the subject to this topic, but when he mentioned Qiao Sheng, he still respectfully said: "Mr. is naturally a first-class benevolent person. I was just a beggar in the city. Fortunately, Mr. helped me to serve You can earn a living only by left and right. I have traveled with my husband for many years, and he often generously donates money to help those in need. Although he often said that he has no roots in cultivating immortals, in our opinion, sir is no different from a real immortal."

Qi Zuo nodded and said: "It seems that Master Qiao treats you very well. If so, then Master Qiao should have no enemies, right?"

Xiao Tao was a little surprised and said: "Of course not. Mr. is polite to others and has a gentle personality. He is also very kind to his servants. He has almost never been angry. Everyone who knows him does not think of him."

Qi Zuo smiled slightly and said, "I think so. Brother Tao must be so talkative because of Master Qiao's influence. After coming down from Fomu Mountain, do other people feel unwell?"

Xiao Tao said: "No, I haven't heard of anyone feeling unwell."

Qi Zuo nodded thoughtfully, originally he wanted to let him go, but he was still a little uneasy, and said: "Why don't you let me take your pulse by the way, it's good to ask for peace of mind."

Although Xiaotao wondered why the other party wanted to take his pulse when he was fine, it was always out of good intentions, besides, the other party was an immortal teacher with great supernatural powers, so there was nothing wrong with having an immortal teacher to take his pulse, so he obediently sat back.As soon as he stretched out his hand, Xiao Tao felt a little nervous again, for fear that something was wrong with him. Luckily, after a while, Qi Zuo told him with a smile on his face that he was in good health and nothing happened, and then let him go. .
