Qi Yin grabbed the note left by Fu Lan and didn't react for a while.
The brothers and sisters gathered around the lamp to look at the note. The note was carefully cut, and there was no hair on the edges. The words on it are very delicate, stroke by stroke, without any sloppiness, which is his brother's consistent style.
But there are only four words on it—
"Go and go back".
Liu Bai finally came to a conclusion, "Junior brother was not kidnapped, he kept it by himself."
A mindless note was placed beside his pillow. Qi Yin didn't understand it at first. He didn't know what the note meant until Xiangsi Geng drum beat the third watch and his brother was still nowhere to be seen. .
"This bastard..." Qi Yin scratched his head, suddenly feeling that his wife was abandoned by a heartless man. He was so angry that his head was smoking, and he said, "Why did you leave without saying a word? You don't even say where you went!"
"Don't wrong people, they clearly said four words." Yun Zhi patted Qi Yin's back.
"He might as well say he died outside!" Qi Yin said angrily.
Where can this fellow go? When Wufang came back for the first time, he didn't know anyone, so he couldn't assassinate the head of Wufang, right? It doesn't seem like something he can do. The most annoying thing is that he didn't bring himself! Qi Yin was so angry that his chest hurt, and he sat there sulking, thinking about how to punish him when the bastard came back, so that he would know the rules of the family. Make him kneel on the washboard? Or a spanking? After thinking about it for a long time, I felt that it was not right, like a slut who was rectifying her own men.
Everyone was about to discuss and tell the two uncles when there was a knock on the door, Sang Ruo opened the door, and it was Zhao Ran standing outside. He bowed his hands to everyone and asked, "May I ask if Martial Uncle Yun Lan ever came back?"
Everyone looked at each other, Yun Zhi cleared his throat and said, "Junior and brother, in order to complete the punishment sweeping as soon as possible, every day until late at night, maybe you are still sweeping snow at this moment."
"That's it." Zhao Ran said worriedly, "I also asked you to come with me. Uncle Yun Lan is afraid that something will happen to him."
Everyone was stunned, and went to the Hanging Step together, which was already crowded with people. Qi Lingshu was squatting there to check the footprints, and there was a broom on the steps, which was what Fu Lan used to call. Qi Yin hurriedly squeezed in and asked, "What's wrong with my brother?"
Qi Lingshu pondered for a while, then looked back at him, his eyes dignified, and said: "Junior Brother Yunlan's footprints are interrupted here, and there is no return. If I guessed correctly, he may have accidentally slipped and fell. Look at the footprints. The thickness of the falling snow, he fell for at least half an hour."
Qi Yin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood. Fu Lan's bottom plate is more stable than the rooster's head, how could he have slipped? Nine times out of ten, he jumped off by himself. Qi Yin stretched out his head and looked at the snow steps, the bottom was cloudy, and his eyes were pitch black. The following should be the Forbidden Forest. Tomorrow is the day to go to find Qi Shenwei. Fu Lan has nothing to do when he is full, so what are you going to do in the Forbidden Forest
Qi Lingshu dragged him back by his back collar and said, "It's not too late, it's important to save people. You send someone to inform the two uncles in charge, Shishu and Fenghuan, and then send someone to go down with me to save people."
Zhao Ming said in the back, "Do you still need help? Several people fall down every year on our Hanging Stage. Every time we go down to look for it, we will either find smashed bones, or have been dragged away by monsters and eaten, even the scum. Can't find it."
When he said this, everyone was silent. Sang Ya didn't know what to do, thinking that Fu Lan was really gone, she burst into tears. Qi Lingshu turned around in front and stared at Zhaoming, his eyes as cold as winter frost.
"The same disciple of Xianshan, I want to see people in life, and I want to see corpses in death."
He has always been like this, his words are as hard as a club, and he doesn't care whether other people's face is up or down. Zhao Ming shuddered, and lowered his head, not daring to say any more. Qi Lingshu took out the forbidden forest talisman and opened the transfer magic circle. He is the first disciple of Wufang, and he is also an elder of the next eight swordsmanship, and he also holds a forbidden place talisman. The brilliant golden light spread out on the ground, forming a huge and complex pattern. The onlookers retreated one after another, and Zhaoming volunteered to step into the circle.
This is a good opportunity to enter the forbidden forest, which is far safer than following the pig demon. Yun Zhi grabbed Qi Yin and dragged him into the formation, "Little Shishu, take me and Yun Yin with you!"
The golden light flashed suddenly, and the people inside mixed into several phantoms. In the blink of an eye, the steps were already blank, and no one was there.
Zhao Ran got Qi Lingshu's order and went to Wufang Hall to report to Yuan Ji. Halfway through, he suddenly met Qing He walking slowly with his Qin in his arms, Zhao Ran bowed his head and saluted. Qinghe nodded with a smile and asked him what to do. Zhao Ran answered in a low voice, but Qinghe gave a long snort and said with a smile, "It just so happens that I'm going to play chess with the head of Yuan Ji, so let me present this matter on your behalf."
Zhao Ran hesitated for a while, but finally bowed his hands and saluted, "There is Uncle Lao."
In an instant, the world was spinning, and the internal organs were turned upside down. In the blink of an eye, it seemed as long as a year. After finally landing on the ground, Qi Yin didn't stand still, lying on the ground and retching. Yun Zhi squatted down and patted his back. It took a long time for him to recover, but he found that something was wrong in the team, and there was an extra girl.
Fang Xin and Xiao Lingling stood there, pinching the corner of her clothes, and said, "I also want to help find Brother Lan."
Qi Lingshu was as serious as a piece of ice, without blinking, he reopened the talisman, and said coldly, "Go back."
Fang Xinxiao stood there almost crying, looking around, hoping someone would help her talk, and finally his eyes fell on Qi Yin. Qi Yin made a helpless gesture and said nothing.
Qi Lingshu was bored. He didn't quite understand why these people had to repeat the words to understand them. He pressed his forehead and said again patiently, "Go back."
Fang Xinxiao's eyes were red, but he didn't move. She wiped the corners of her eyes and said with a sob, "Little Master, do you know why everyone is afraid to approach you!"
Qi Lingshu was stunned.
"You're always like this. When others treat you with kindness, you don't show good looks to others. Last time, my two senior sisters watched you practice swordsmanship every morning and boiled pork ribs soup all morning to help you heal. It's better for you, in the blink of an eye, they were beaten 20 times on the palm." Fang Xinxiao's eyes were red, and he said, "It's fine, if you refuse, why waste people's hearts like this? Brother Lan will never do this, I will endure it. Give him soup, he will say thank you, and wash the dishes and return them."
Make soup? Qi Yin wondered, how could Fulan accept other people's soup if she didn't eat or drink dew. Wait, he suddenly remembered that Fu Lan would always bring soup back to him and Cat Master these few nights. Fu Lan has always been virtuous, he didn't think about it, he just said that Fu Lan cooked it himself, and dared to use the soup that others gave him to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha.
Fu Lan was unreasonable, so she probably didn't think much of it. But if this girl knew that the pork ribs soup she had worked so hard to cook for her lover had all entered the stomachs of others, she would definitely be heartbroken. Qi Yin covered his face silently, and Yun Zhi also guessed the inside story. After all, he had also drank a few mouthfuls of that soup, and pressed Qi Yin's shoulder, holding back his laughter until his stomach hurt.
Everyone looked at the pained expression on his face, and Zhaoming asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with you?"
Qi Yin covered his mouth with a wooden face and said, "It's alright, he's ill, just beat him."
Qi Lingshu stood under the shadow of the tree, his white face stretched like a hard marble. He pursed his lips and said nothing.
Yun Zhi managed to hold back his laughter, took off Qi Yin's hand, and came out and said, "Little Junior Sister's words are bad, who said that everyone is unwilling to approach Little Senior Uncle? I'm quite happy," he smiled. Hooked Qi Lingshu's neck and winked at him, "After all, we are friends with open crotch pants, aren't we?"
Qi Lingshu: "… "
Yun Zhi looked like a hooligan with his shoulders and backs, and Qi Lingshu was like a girl who was forced to be a prostitute in his arms. Zhao Ming's eyes darkened with anger, and he said, "You... quickly take your dirty hands away! My little uncle is immortal, how can you touch such pickled things!"
"Silence." Qi Lingshu said.
Zhao Ming reluctantly shut his mouth and glared at Yun Zhi hatefully.
Qi Lingshu threw open Yunzhi's hand, calmed down, and asked Fang Xinxiao, "Ranking on the Sword Ranking."
Fang Xinxiao said in a low voice, "There are exactly 100 people, with injuries on their bodies, they could have played better."
There are at least 300 disciples of Lunjian. This girl, like Qi Yin, was able to make it to 100 soon after entering the school, which is a very impressive achievement. Qi Yin blushed.
Qi Lingshu said nothing, took the talisman, and turned around to clear the way. Fang Xinxiao finally smiled when he saw that he acquiesced. Everyone put on the demon sachet, held the lamp talisman, cut the vines with swords to clear the way, and walked into the depths of the forest.
All the way, the moonlight flows silently in the dark forest, the weeds are lush, the long feet are as tall as a human being, and the sharp stems and leaves are so painful that the skin is scratched. There was residual snow on the ground, and the black oily soil was very muddy. Qi Lingshu did not allow everyone to speak. The Forbidden Forest was as silent as a pool of stagnant water, unable to even hear the chirping of birds. There seemed to be countless pairs of eyes peeping at them in the dark.
The difference between Wufang Jinlin and Fenghuan was too great. Qi Yin remembered that Fenghui was forbidden to return. The wind was gentle at night, and the melodies of the mermaids in the distance came softly and softly, like a woman's delicate palm brushing her cheeks. It was pitch black right now, and the trees and bushes formed a deep shadow, as if there were countless sharp claws and fangs hidden inside.
Qi Yin wanted to know where his brother went, and what was there in the forbidden forest that attracted him? Why did it go so suddenly? Nothing is known until the bastard comes back to find out. The smell of absinthe mixed with the rotten smell of the woods lingered on the tip of their noses. They passed the pale corpse of a big demon, bypassed a salt water swamp, and finally reached the place where Fu Lan landed.
There was a big pit with a radius of ten feet. The bushes around the pit fell, and the thick trees were broken. This must be Fu Lan's landing point, right, the impact of the fall from a high place and the impact of spiritual power destroyed the surrounding vegetation, in the same style as the big pit he hit in the dream.
Zhao Ming was stunned and said, "Yun Lan's body is really tough..."
Qi Lingshu didn't say a word, and obsessed with the lamp talisman to examine the pit and its surroundings carefully. There was a series of footprints in the crater that stretched from the center to the outside, but disappeared in the bushes.
Zhaoming murmured: "Falling from such a high place, he can still walk upright?"
Ordinary people fall down and become meat sauce, only Fu Lan has this kind of magical power to survive unscathed. Seeing that he was about to be exposed, Yun Zhi hurriedly walked over and said, "How could it be my junior brother? There should be a demon who carried him away. My junior brother has fine skin and tender meat. The demon is best."
Qi Yin also squatted down and pretended to look at the footprints for a while, and said, "Yes, these are not my brother's footprints. My brother's feet are seven inches and eight inches, which is the wrong size."
"Then let's hurry up," Fang Xinxiao said worriedly, "If it is dragged back to the lair by the demon to be eaten, I am afraid that Empress Nuwa won't be able to save her if she appears."
Everyone immediately set off, heading in the direction of the footprints. In the dark, Yun Zhi walked to Qi Yin's side and whispered, "Qi Lingshu is weird."
He didn't mention Qi Yin and found out that their lies were full of flaws. According to the depth of the footprints, there is absolutely no possibility that it is the weight of Fu Lan and a demon combined, not to mention that there are no footprints that enter the pit at all. Forget about others, Qi Lingshu followed Qi Shenwei to subdue demons and slay the demons as a child. Qi Yin glanced at the man in white in front of him. His face was half-bright and half-dark under the moonlight and the shadow of the trees.
Things are getting more and more strange, Qi Yin frowned deeply, how much does this little serious know
After walking for an unknown period of time, the eastern sky was lit up, and the branches and leaves of Vitex was soaked in the sky light, like a thin layer of mercury. A faint mist was flowing in the forest. Qi Lingshu kept squatting down to check the footprints, pushing aside the weeds. There were many crescent-shaped footprints of horse demons, semi-circular hoof prints of mules, and drag marks of snakes crawling on the ground. Everyone was exhausted and collapsed. Qi Lingshu looked back and said, "It's time to repair half a stick of incense."
Only Qi Yin and Yun Zhi knew that the direction was completely wrong. Qi Lingshu had been checking the footprints, but Fu Lan was running on the tree, because Qi Yin found Fu Lan on the branches of several cypress trees an hour ago. shoe print. Yun Zhi walked over to discuss with Qi Lingshu, and said, "Maybe we should go to the cemetery of ancestor Wufang."
Qi Lingshu looked at him, waiting for his next words.
"We haven't seen Yun Lan's wreckage for so long. If he is eaten by monsters, according to the monster's habits, he will definitely leave bloodstains, amputated limbs, etc. It means that Yun Lan is likely to regain consciousness halfway through and find a way. I escaped." Yun Zhi opened his eyes and said nonsense, "Where is the safest place in the forbidden area, of course, is the tomb of the ancestors, and the monsters generally dare not approach there."
Qi Lingshu calmly said "um" and said, "Continue."
Yunzhi unfolded the map, pointed to a red circle on it, and said, "The nearest tomb is Uncle Qi's tomb. It's about time to walk an incense stick." He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Would you like to go over and take a look?"
Qi Yin sat on a tree stump and rubbed his legs. Qi Lingshu was an iron man, running for so long without breathing. He took out a water bag from the Qiankun bag and took a sip of water, and wiped his sweat with a handkerchief. In the corner of the handkerchief, there are little herrings that his brother embroidered for him, some wagging their tails, and some babbling bubbles. Qi Yin touched the little fish, thinking of the silent man, and feeling another resentment in his heart.
Just thinking about it, a low exclamation came from behind. Qi Yin thought that something had happened, and hurried over. Zhaoming and the others surrounded the swamp, Fang Xinxiao covered his nose and looked like he was vomiting. Before getting close to Qi Yin, he smelled a foul stench, which was so unpleasant that he felt nauseated in his stomach. Covering his nose and mouth, he saw Qi Lingshu and Yun Zhi squatting beside a corpse.
The corpse was very strange. It was buried face down in the mud, and its hands were twisted to the back in a deformed way. It looked like someone had broken its arms backwards before death. What's even more terrifying is that there are dense holes in his body, as if he had been pierced by thick needles all over his body.
Fang Xinxiao said with eyes red, "Is it Brother Lan?"
Qi Yin comforted her and said, "Look at this length, he is more than a little shorter than my brother, it must not be him."
Yun Zhi was a daring one, he used a branch to poke the hole in the corpse, and asked curiously, "Could it be that he was killed by a hedgehog?"
The corpse was bloody and looked like a humanoid. Qi Yin asked, "Is this a human or a demon?"
"Where does the person from the forbidden land come from, of course, it is a demon." Zhao Ming said.
"But..." The more Qi Yin looked at that appearance, the more he felt like a human being, but if a demon turns into a human, if it dies, it should return to its original form.
Just wondering, Qi Lingshu suddenly raised his head and shouted, "It's not dead, back off!"
As soon as the voice fell, the corpse shook violently, its arms twisted like a twist, the joints were broken, and there was a sour clicking sound.
