"Mother, come, drink this..." The sound of colorful bamboo came from the stilted building, Yi Qingchen came back to his senses, climbed to the window where the sound came from, peeked at the situation inside the house, and saw the house There was a floor bed in the center, and a ragged, thin, gray-haired old lady was lying on it. Caizhu was kneeling beside her, holding a porcelain bowl in her hand. Under the moonlight, the red liquid in the bowl was overflowing. It has a strange color and a fishy smell.

The old lady sat up slowly from the bed, and the colorful bamboo fed the old lady spoonful by spoonful. The old lady had a hard time eating, and spilled it on her body several times, and the colorful bamboo wiped it off with the white cloth prepared earlier. The old lady's eyes were dimmed, and she said in a hoarse voice, "Cai'er, stop being a mother..."

Cai Zhu was stunned when she heard the words, and then smiled wryly, "Mother, you're thinking wildly again, how could Cai'er not care about mother kissing you?"

The old lady looked at the bloody red liquid in the bowl, and said in an extremely painful tone, "Mother, I have been content with this life, I just hope you can live a better life, find a lover to marry, it will not be a problem for you to support me, and this village will not let me go." Not a place to live for a long time...”

Caizhu helped the old lady to lie down, covered the old lady with a quilt, and walked out of the room with the blood-stained white cloth. The old lady could only continue to stare blankly at the ceiling, motionless, like a corpse.

Yi Qingchen sat back on the roof again, his heart was extremely complicated, he didn't know if other corpses in the village needed blood, but at least he had never seen Hua Chenchi drink blood.

Because Hua Chenchi can occasionally eat some ordinary human food to satisfy his hunger, he never thought that he would see this kind of scene one day. He thought that Hua Chenchi was not the same as them. After all, Hua Chenchi had never died, but was just lost. Half of the soul is a living person after all, and these people in the village have indeed died, but were forcibly pulled back to their bodies.

Or maybe the Marrow Sect tried a new method of bringing the dead back to life on them...

Although the degree of completion of the technique this time is obviously higher than those in Shilin Village and Jiangling, but...

Is it really alive to live like this?

"Crack." It was the sound of a broken bowl.

Yi Qingchen was startled, and hurriedly crawled back to the window, and then heard Caizhu's cry, "Mother, please, don't seek death anymore..."

Yi Qingchen cast his eyes into the house, and saw that Caizhu was holding the old lady and crying loudly. The old lady was lying in Caizhu's arms, holding a fragment of a porcelain bowl in her hand, the blood dripping from the tip was black, The blood that flowed from the large cut wound on the neck was also black.

The old lady raised her hand and touched Caizhu's head, her expression was both helpless and bitter, Caizhu cried even more sadly, "It's Caier's fault, Caier shouldn't ask the Taoist priest to bring you back to life just because she is afraid of loneliness It's Cai'er who is too selfish, it's Cai'er's fault for making you look like this mother, Cai'er will always take care of you..."

Yi Qingchen sat back on the roof silently, the moon was shining brightly, but the heart-piercing cries of the mother and daughter lingered in his ears, he thought for a long time, then slowly got up, and followed the night to the Dugu family's camp .

He didn't go to Mr. Dugu, but directly went back to his tent, took off his outer jacket and boots, fell down on the couch, and covered his head with the quilt, as if he could isolate himself from the world.Sleeping like this until dawn, being bored all night, it is inevitable that some legs and feet are weak and dizzy. After washing up, he walked out of the tent with a basin in his hand, and met the servants of Dugu's family. The servants came to find Yi Qingchen specially. "Master Yi, the Patriarch invites you to have breakfast together."

Yi Qingchen poured the water under the tree, and put the basin back into the tent, just now followed the footsteps of the servants all the way to the main tent of Dugu's house. You can see a large wooden table in the direction of the door in the tent. There are various dishes on the table, from pastries to porridge, and you can smell the fragrance from far away.

Yi Qingchen originally wanted to come and explain something to Mr. Dugu, but when he smelled the sweetness of the cakes, he couldn't walk, so he accepted Mr. Dugu's invitation and sat down to have breakfast with him.

During the banquet, Mr. Dugu also had meals. Since he was eating, he had to take off his mask. Yi Qingchen was curious, so he stared at Mr. Dugu's movements from the corner of his eye, but the latter just lifted the mask up. , revealing the mouth and chin, clearly just the tip of the iceberg, but Yi Qingchen can conclude that this person looks absolutely extraordinary based on this.After thinking about it, it is normal for the demons to look better. The reason why they wear masks is not only to avoid some unnecessary troubles after being recognized, but also to avoid others from being inferior because of their looks Woolen cloth?

The hot porridge in the spoon dripped back into the bowl, Yi Qingchen was amused by his own thoughts, Mr. Dugu saw this, put on the mask again with a light smile, and said to him, "Dare to ask Mr. Yi, what did you find last night? "

Yi Qingchen couldn't laugh anymore, and even felt that the sweet porridge in the bowl was a bit dull. She was silent for a while, seeing that Mr. Dugu was still waiting for his answer, and then said helplessly, "But in the ordinary village after nightfall, the silence No one, very boring, I walked around and felt a little bored, so I came back."

Mr. Dugu said nothing, but looking at the eyes behind the mask, he should be smiling.

Yi Qingchen felt that he hadn't deceived Mr. Dugu, but the latter didn't seem to be planning to expose him, so he just changed the subject and said, "Is Mr. Yi planning to go back today? Or stay here? Of course, I welcome you very much." Son."

Yi Qingchen thought for a while, then sighed, "I still have to trouble Mr.

Mr. Dugu smiled and nodded, and ordered his servants to cook more good dishes tonight. Yi Qingchen felt a little extravagant when he heard the names of those dishes, but he was a guest, so he didn't bother to ask about these, so he just picked the right ones. Please resign at the right time and prepare to go back to the Lingshan camp to have a look.

Yi Qingchen was certain that Hua Shenchi would make the anti-drug pill in the camp at this time, so he dared to go back in a fair manner, and once he went, he got into the camp of the male disciple who was recuperating, and did not dare to wander around, for fear Was bumped into by Hua Shenchi.

At that time, Shen Sheng was lying on the couch weakly, all the exposed skin on his body was wrapped in gauze, only a pair of eyes, two nostrils, and a mouth were exposed, Yi Qingchen could tell by just looking at it. This is probably Ruhui's handwriting.

When Shen Sheng saw Yi Qingchen, he let out a wail from his throat, "Young Master Yi, please save me!"

Yi Qingchen thought it was funny, walked a little closer, and asked, "If you know how to do it?"

But Shen Sheng said in horror, "That's not true, have you ever seen Ruhui wrap it so flat? When did she not wrap zongzi? This is made by senior brother!"

Yi Qingchen's smile froze on his face, and he said in disbelief, "No way?"

Shen Sheng wept and said, "Why not! Young Master, what is the matter with you and Eldest Brother? There was something wrong with him yesterday. I asked Ayi. It seems that you two had a fight? Young Master, you are always good-tempered. Most likely the senior brother has done something wrong again, but you don't seem to be someone who cares about everything, how could you be so angry this time?"

"I'm not angry..." Yi Qingchen sighed helplessly, loosened the gauze on Shen Sheng's body, and asked while loosening it, "You have suffered such a serious injury. What about the road?"

Shen Sheng replied, "I heard from other people that it seems... because the loss of Lingshan was too serious, and there was no manpower after the loss, so Yu Shuai asked the elders of the nearby family and sect to discuss it and decided Each faction will send one or two people, and Lingshan doesn't need to send any more people."

Yi Qingchen asked again, "Where did you explore the road last time?"

Shen Sheng recalled, "At least the first half of the day was safe, no matter what, I have to explore for a mile or two. The map has been handed over to Yu Shuai, and I can't show it to you, my lord."

Yi Qingchen nodded clearly, thought for a moment, and asked the last question, "Old man is still unconscious, who are you going to ask to lead the way?"

Shen Sheng shook his head, "I'm not sure about this. It should be that the candidate has not been decided yet. After all, it is so dangerous inside, and there is a precedent for the serious injury of the old man here. It is estimated that no one would dare to take on this job. If you really want to If there is, it can only be a brave man with a lot of money, right?"

Yi Qingchen felt reasonable, sitting on the stool next to the bed, thinking about the next plan, the plan had not yet been formed, but Ruhui called out in surprise from the direction of the curtain, "Young Master Yi! You are back, where did you go last night?" Already? It’s easy to find me!”

Yi Qingchen looked puzzled, "Why are you looking for me?"

Not waiting for an answer, Shen Sheng took the lead and asked, "My lord, you didn't come back last night? Where did you go?"

Yi Qingchen thought about it, "Go to the deputy commander to discuss the next plan."

Shen Sheng's gaze became a little complicated, and after a long while, he said helplessly, "I haven't seen you guys quarreling like this in how many years... I remember the last time, it was under the Negative Snow Cliff?"

Being reminded by Shen Sheng, Yi Qingchen suddenly remembered the incident ten years ago. At that time, several people had successfully infiltrated the camp of the Marrow Sect, and he also got the shark beads, and was being chased by the immortal guardian at that time. In order to get out of trouble, several people racked their brains, and in the end they disagreed with Hua Shenchi. At that time, he wanted to hold back Immortal Sky for them, but Hua Shenchi hoped that they would work together to deal with Immortal Sky. At that time, several people had various degrees of internal injuries, and it was difficult to escape, let alone deal with the immortal who was in its heyday at that time.

Yi Qingchen asked Hua Shenchi, "If we fight together, do you have a way to defeat him?"

Hua Shenchi didn't speak, Yi Qingchen looked at him for a moment unwilling to be outdone, in the end no one paid any attention to each other, procrastinating for a whole night, until there was no way to retreat, Yi Qingchen resolutely walked out of the grass in spite of everything. He stood up to attract the attention of the pursuers. At that time, he thought that Hua Shenchi would lead the others to leave along another road, but he didn't expect Hua Shenchi to follow in the end. This is what happened later.

In fact, I only learned from Hua Shenchi's diary a few months ago that Hua Shenchi actually had a plan at that time, but his original intention of the plan was to sacrifice him and Shen Sheng to delay time, and then arrange for himself to escort the shark beads Going back, thinking about it this way, luckily I took Shen Chi's first move, otherwise he and Shen Sheng would be the ones who sacrificed at that time, right?

When Yi Qingchen thought of this, he felt a little helpless in his heart. In the situation at that time, no matter what, one person had to be sacrificed, either he died, or Hua Chenchi died, so he chose to sacrifice himself, No regrets.

Although his original intention was not to die, it was precisely because of this that the current situation was created by accident.

Mr. Dugu said, this is a reincarnation, and what happened ten years ago will continue to recur, the reason is that he, a person who has already reached the end of his life, is still living in this world, which violates the law of heaven, and only when he dies can everything enter On the right track, otherwise everyone will go through this cycle again unknowingly. If you don't die, the cycle will be endless.

Shen Sheng still wanted to continue persuading Yi Qingchen, but Yi Qingchen didn't want to continue listening, and asked Ruhui with a smile, "So why did you seek me out last night?"

Ruhui had already listened to the conversation between Yi Qingchen and Shen Sheng. He was stunned for a long time before he remembered what he wanted to say. He took out the cloisonné enamel hairpin from his sleeve and said with a smile, "For Thank you, Young Master. But..." But?Yi Qingchen subconsciously felt that something was wrong, Ruohui really showed a puzzled expression, "Actually last night...Second Senior Sister was in a bad state, she came looking for me with this hairpin, I was just like Ying talked about the Second Senior Sister, intending to create opportunities for the two of them, so she pestered Ruying not to let him leave..."

"Then I watched the second senior sister take out this hairpin from the brocade box. I was quite happy at that time. After all, I have received only a handful of gifts over the years..." Ruhui pondered for a moment, then said "I was so concerned about Huanxi at the time, and when I came back to my senses, I found that Ruying had already picked up the gloves from the brocade box. At that time, I wanted to tell him that it was too abrupt to get close to the second senior sister, and I didn't want him At that time, I said, "This pair of gloves is the only one in the world. It was made by the former emperor who specially selected ice silk from Tianshan Mountain and embroidered girls from Jiangnan to reward the owner of Chess Building in the World..." After finishing speaking, The brocade box in the senior sister's hand fell to the ground...then...the senior sister began to search for you all over the camp...I helped her find it in the middle of the night, but I couldn't Looking for you, son..."

Yi Qingchen also froze in place when he heard the words, "The landlord of Tianxiaqilou...?"

Ruhui nodded, Yi Qingchen took a deep breath, unbelievable that there would be such a coincidence in this world, so he hurriedly asked Ruhui, "Where is Ayi now?"

Ru Hui thought, "It should be in my own tent..."

Yi Qingchen hurried out of the tent and ran towards Shen Yi's camp, if he would lead the way ahead, he lifted the curtain of Shen Yi's camp for Yi Qingchen, but he didn't dare to go in.As soon as Yi Qingchen walked in, he saw Ruhui sitting in front of the table, with his head in his hands, staring at the brocade box in a daze, he didn't even notice Yi Qingchen approaching.

Yi Qingchen made up some words in his mind, walked up to Shen Yi and sat down, raised his hand and shook it in front of her eyes, Shen Yi came back to his senses, sat up straight, and looked at Yi Qingchen with a dazed expression. After staring at it for a long time, his expression changed again and again, and finally he just shook his head helplessly, as if he felt that his reaction was ridiculous.

Seeing this, Yi Qingchen deliberated, and told Shen Yi truthfully what happened when he bought the hairpin, and said, "The traveling merchant should have left last night. Although he didn't say where he was going, he probably went north or east. Go, do you want to chase after it?"

Shen Yi held the gloves and looked at them for a long time, before she spoke, her tone was a bit sad, "No, I am the second senior sister of Lingshan, I should do my own duty well, and I can't leave this place without permission."

Yi Qingchen thought for a while, and said with relief, "If he is not Senior Luo, it is just a misunderstanding. If he is really Senior Luo who survived by luck, although the world is big, as long as you are willing to spend some time looking for it in the future, you will definitely be able to find it." It can also be found."

Shen Yi stared at the glove and said intently, "When I knew that he might still be alive, young master, can you guess what was the first thing I thought of?" Yi Qingchen shook his head, Shen Yi then Clenching those gloves tightly, "I was thinking of my mother. The reason why she chose to hang herself was to go with him, but he was still alive and well. Mother, she couldn't find him underground alone. How sad it must be to be helpless..."

Yi Qingchen looked at Shen Yi's appearance of crying but hiding anger, and persuaded helplessly, "Shouldn't you be glad that he is still alive? Anyway, he is your dearest relative, and he has prepared for you Looking at this pair of Feng Chuan, it can be seen that he still cares about you, and the reason why he pursued an official position is probably because he wants you, mother and daughter, to live a better life, after all, life without money is really hard."

The last sentence, Yi Qingchen had personally experienced it, so she said it sincerely, unexpectedly, the tears in Shen Yi's eyes turned and fell on the table with a thud, Yi Qingchen panicked suddenly.
