Master Luo snorted coldly, but did not answer.
Although Qiu Yutong was very puzzled, she didn't continue to ask, but just murmured in her heart.
Most of the people who can be called honored guests by Yuqin Palace are some powerful monks from one of the four sects. Beihai Sword Sect and Yuqin Palace have a deep hatred, so it is unlikely that they will come to visit. Then, this distinguished guest is either a certain eminent monk from Nanshan Temple, or... the seniors from Shuo Xuecheng.
Thinking of the three senior brothers, Qiu Yutong couldn't help feeling a little sour.
Senior brothers are the ones in this world who really treat him sincerely, but with my current state of mind, I really feel ashamed to go back to Shuo Xuecheng... After a while, when I calm down, I will return to Shuo Xuecheng and stay in Shuo Xuecheng from now on. Fly to the peak and never come down again.
He was full of thoughts, and remained silent for a long time. Master Luo seemed to be bored, so he said lightly: "Okay, that's all for today, go back and pack up, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."
The family of Mr. Zhang next to him, although the eldest is unhappy, there is nothing they can do.
Master Zhang and Li Youfu could barely hold back their smiles and sent Master Luo away, while the Zhang brothers left with gloomy faces, staring at Qiu Yutong and A Niu.
…
At night, a lamp is like a bean.
Qiu Yutong stared at the dim oil lamp on the table, stared blankly for a while, and suddenly asked, "Aniu, do you have a bronze mirror at home?"
"Bronze mirror? There are some."
A Niu hurriedly rummaged through it, and after a while, she finally took out an old mirror the size of a palm from the cabinet: "This is left by my aunt."
The workmanship of this bronze mirror is very rough, and it is already very old. The mirror surface is worn out badly, and the figures it reflects are also blurry. Qiu Yutong looked at it carefully for a while, nodded and said: "It's a bit blurry, but it's okay."
"Mr. Qiu, what do you need a mirror for? Do you want to comb your hair?"
"You will know later." Qiu Yutong smiled, stood up from the table, stuffed the bronze mirror under the pillow, picked up the thin quilt, and carefully shook out the bed.
Then he went to the corner of the room and began beating the floor with straw and old cotton batting.
"Mr. Qiu, are you going to rest? Or, I'll sleep on the floor." A Niu watched him laying on the floor, and said timidly.
In A Niu's house, there is only one decent wooden bed, which is the one that Qiu Yutong slept on before. After Qiu Yutong got better, she resolutely gave up the bed to A Niu, while she made the floor with straw and old cotton batting in the corner of the room.
"Mr. Qiu, it's too cold underground, you've just recovered, you'd better sleep on the bed."
Qiu Yutong shook her head: "Tonight, we both sleep on the floor."
A Niu blinked her eyes: "Huh?"
"Someone may come tonight."
"Someone is coming? Who is it?"
"You'll know when the time comes, it's all right."
"Oh." A Niu's expression was still very confused, and she didn't understand why, but she had always respected and feared Qiu Yutong, so she didn't say anything more.
After finishing everything, Qiu Yutong blew out the oil lamp, and the two of them slept on the floor in the corner of the room, with their backs to their kimono, which was pretty good.
Qiu Yutong lay sideways on the pile of straw, looking at the dark wall, thinking about many things, but couldn't fall asleep, but A Niu's breathing behind her gradually became even, and she soon fell into a deep sleep.
midnight.
Not far outside the house, there was a small rustling sound, as if someone was climbing the wall.
"Brother, give me a hand..."
"What the hell did you do?!"
Sure enough, it came.
Qiu Yutong opened her eyes suddenly, listened intently for a while, then quietly got up.
A Niu next to her was still sleeping soundly, Qiu Yutong gently covered her mouth, woke her up, and then lowered her voice: "A Niu, someone is coming outside, please don't make a sound, understand? "
A Niu showed a look of horror, and nodded slightly.
At this time, there was another rustling sound outside the house, and the people outside had already climbed over the courtyard wall and walked under the window lightly.
"Brother, are you going in?" It was Zhang Tiegen's voice.
Zhang Shuigen said in a low voice: "Wait, let me listen first."
"..." A Niu's black and white eyes suddenly opened wide, she finally understood what was happening, her eyes were filled with fear and resentment.
Qiu Yutong squinted his eyes. During the day, he saw the Zhang family brothers' eyes were fierce, with a faint murderous look, so he expected this kind of thing.
I am going to Miaoyin Island tomorrow morning. If the Zhang family brothers want to do something, it must be tonight... Although as a cultivator, he never takes action against ordinary people easily, but this situation is an exception.
"The old man is dead. There are only two people in this chick's family. After we go in later, we will kill that monster first, and then catch the chick."
"Brother, what if that monster casts a spell again?"
"I don't think that monster's sorcery is very good. During the day today, in front of Master Luo, didn't he dare to do anything? Later, let's not wait for him to perform his sorcery, let's do it first." Go down and kill him directly! Besides, our two pig-killing knives are all smeared with black dog blood, and it is said that those demons and ghosts are afraid of this."
"Brother, catch that chick later, hehehe, can you let me play for a while? Although she is only a skinny firewood girl, it would be a pity to kill her directly."
"Whatever you want, anyway, set a fire before dawn, and nothing will be gone..."
Hearing this, Qiu Yutong felt extremely annoyed in her heart, the brothers of the Zhang family are two beasts at all! No, not even a beast!
At this moment, there was only a soft "click!", and the window was pushed open.
Two long shadows were reflected on the ground.
A Niu trembled violently, Qiu Yutong pressed her shoulder as if to comfort her, and put her fingers upright in front of her lips, motioning her to keep quiet. Although the thin little girl's face was pale, she still pressed her lips tightly together and remained silent very obediently.
Under the cold moonlight, I saw two fat black shadows jumping into the room one after the other. They were the brothers of the Zhang family.
After they entered the room, after a brief scan, they tiptoed to the bed.
The strange thing is that there was no one on the bed at first, but at this moment, the thin quilt is slightly raised and slowly undulating, as if someone is sleeping soundly under the quilt, and it seems that this person is very slender and should be It's a man.
The brothers of the Zhang family looked at each other, and then the eyes of the two of them shot fiercely, and they both raised the butcher's knives in their hands, two sharp knives, and ruthlessly drove them into the quilt! !
"Ah—" Two screams pierced the sky!
At this moment, the moon was in the middle of the sky, and under the bright moonlight, Zhang Tiegen stumbled back a few steps, and then fell limply on his back. In the middle of his lower abdomen, there was a sharp butcher's knife!
"Monster!" Zhang Shuigen clutched his abdomen tightly, hissed loudly, and threw off the quilt violently!
However, under the thin quilt, there is no monster, there is only an old bronze mirror the size of a palm!
Zhang Shuigen stared at the bronze mirror, and made a horrible "cluck" sound from his throat, his bloodshot eyes were wide open, as if he didn't understand what was going on at all.
"Brother, save me, save me... my intestines..." Zhang Tiegen hissed, his greasy intestines dripped all over the floor.
Zhang Shuigen was also stabbed in the abdomen, so he didn't care about his younger brother. He clutched his abdomen tightly, and slowly slid down against the edge of the bed. His whole body was limp on the ground, and he murmured: "Monster, monster!"
Qiu Yutong calmly watched the two brothers dying and struggling, without the slightest sympathy in their hearts, only extreme disgust.
"Mr. Qiu..." A Niu held his arm tightly, her whole body was shaking, and she didn't know whether it was to relieve her hatred or fear.
"It's okay." Qiu Yutong patted the little girl's shoulder, helped her to stand up, and the two walked slowly to the center of the room from a dark corner.
Zhang Shuigen opened his blood-red eyes wide, and stared at the two fiercely, as if he had seen a ghost: "You, you, monsters..."
Zhang Tiegen said hoarsely: "Ahem, save me, save me..."
"I can indeed save you." Qiu Yutong looked down at the two of them.
The Zhang family brothers showed joy immediately, and stammered: "Immortal, immortal..."
"However, I still have to ask someone." Qiu Yutong turned her head slightly and asked softly, "Aniu, do you want to save them?"
A Niu stared at the twisted and squirming Zhang family brothers on the ground. This timid and thin little girl was obviously trembling, but she shook her head very firmly and said decisively: "Don't help!!"
Qiu Yutong nodded: "Okay, no help."
After he finished speaking, he stopped responding to the pleas of the Zhang family brothers, and only helped A Niu to sit down at the table, quietly watching the two struggling in a pool of blood.
The Zhang family brothers fell in the middle of the room, blood and intestines flowed all over the floor in a mess. At first, they begged A Niu and Qiu Yutong bitterly, but after despair, they cursed heartbreakingly, swearing all kinds of obscenities, But Qiu Yutong only drooped her eyelashes, and felt nothing but nausea.
Gradually, the curses of the two brothers became quieter, and they finally lost their breath, turning into two cold corpses.
A Niu looked at the hideous corpses of the two, her thin face was bloodless, her teeth chattered unconsciously: "Qiu, Mr. Qiu, what's going on?"
"Just now, didn't I ask you for a bronze mirror? I made some manipulations on that bronze mirror to turn it into a mirror puppet. Any attack on a puppet made of this mirror will return On to the killers themselves...so, they really brought it on themselves."
"So that's the case." A Niu nodded lightly, staring at the two ugly corpses on the ground, although her hands were covered in cold sweat, she gradually stopped trembling.
For the first time in these days, this poor little girl was so calm.
For some things, forgiveness can bring peace, but for other things, only blood for blood can find peace.
Qiu Yutong sighed secretly, patted A Niu on the shoulder as if comforting, took out a yellow talisman paper from her bosom, and put it in the other's hand.
"Aniu, you can no longer stay in this village. This is the talisman paper I drew yesterday. Take this talisman paper and go to Baizhou Prefecture, eighty miles away, and find the Xianmeng Guild Hall there. After seeing this talisman, I will help you arrange everything. If you are on the road, if you encounter any danger, you can tear up this talisman, and I will come to rescue you."
"Hmm." A Niu held the talisman tightly, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Qiu, what about you? What will you do in the future?"
"I..." Qiu Yutong was taken aback for a moment, then a little dazed.
after? He naturally wanted to go back to Xuecheng.
After returning, he will practice his sword on the cliff of Asking Sword, cut every falling snowflake in half, he will meditate on the top of Feilai Peak, from the moon to the sky, until the east is white... he will Concentrate on cultivating the Tao, sleep with the sword, and never ask about the worldly affairs, let alone be infected with the seven emotions and six desires.
But, but...
After a long time, he whispered: "I don't know."
…
Early the next morning, Immortal Master Na Luo came to pick him up.
Qiu Yutong stood outside the loess courtyard wall, and the simple thatched adobe house behind him had been reduced to ashes in the raging fire last night.
Immortal Master Luo glanced at the ashes, but said nothing. After all, most monks don't care about the life and death of these mortal ants.
"Packed up?"
Qiu Yutong nodded, and said lightly, "Let's go."
Seeing that Qiu Yutong didn't seem to want to talk more, Master Luo didn't say anything else. The two left Zhangjia Village together and came to the bank of Crescent Moon Lake. went.
Crescent Lake covers an area of thousands of slopes, and the lake is extremely vast. In the distance, there is a vast expanse of water and sky, and the cool lake breeze blows head-on, which makes people feel refreshed.
The spirit boat sailed steadily on the lake, and after a long time, an island surrounded by smoke and waves finally appeared in front of my eyes. The sound of silk and bamboo could be faintly heard on the island, as if it were the sacred mountain of Penglai.
This is naturally Miaoyin Island.
Not long after, the boat stopped slowly beside the pier of Miaoyin Island.
Qiu Yutong lightly jumped onto the pier and glanced around. Although the pier is very wide, it does not have the grand style of Nanshan Temple or Shuo Xuecheng, but it looks a little deserted.
It seems that the Yuqin Palace has really declined.
Several outer disciples were hurriedly moving something, they all greeted Master Luo next to him, and occasionally cast a curious glance at Qiu Yutong.
"Brother Luo, are you back?"
"Junior Brother Ziwen, what good things did you buy this time? Who is this?"
"It's just a casual cultivator." Luo Ziwen laughed.
When he arrived on the island, Luo Ziwen's attitude became much more cautious. He was not as arrogant as he was in Zhangjiacun. Beside the bamboo forest.
This bamboo forest is very lush, and the branches and leaves are even more verdant. People can't help but like it. Qiu Yutong raised his eyebrows: "Where is this?"
"This is the guest residence in Green Forest." Luo Ziwen pointed to a row of low houses next to the bamboo forest, "You can live here for now, I will take you to see the Second Palace Mistress tomorrow, don't run around."
Qiu Yutong didn't want to say anything more to him, so she just nodded perfunctorily.
In fact, he didn't intend to see Lin Zhufeng, nor Lin Yurong at all, or, in his current situation, he didn't want to attract anyone's attention, he just wanted to take that Tianshuibi tonight and leave here quietly.
