Chapter 36
Chapter 36
Bai Qi personally escorted King Qingping to the most active area of Huainan Road where demons and demons were most active, watched him resettle all the members of the palace here, and then went to explain the reason to the monk team of the Taishang Mansion stationed here before completing the task.
After getting rid of this big burden, he breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to set off back to the imperial capital to see Su Yi, whom he hadn't seen for many days, when he saw Su Zhong's figure at the end of the road.
Su Zhong wore a water blue Confucian shirt, with a calm attitude and a handsome appearance. Bathed in the sun, he looked like an exiled fairy in the dust, standing against the wind, transcending the common world.
Bai Qi squinted her eyes, threw away the folding fan casually, walked forward, turned her gaze on Su Zhong's face, and found a trace of Su Yi with satisfaction.
"Immortal Master Bai Qi." Su Zhong didn't know what he was thinking, otherwise he would never have greeted him so politely, "Is there any time for Immortal Master to talk to me... about King Qingping?"
"Master Su, you know that I'm not interested in these conspiracies." Bai Qi refused flatly and coldly.
"This time I personally sent him to Huainan Road, one is to get some interest for Su Yi, and the other is because of the order from the Supreme Court. If it weren't for this, I would never have contact with members of the royal family for another 1 years."
Su Zhong smiled slightly: "Master Immortal misunderstood, I didn't want to ask Immortal Master to help me deal with King Qingping, but there are some things that need to be handed over to you."
"Oh? What is it?" Bai Qi's eyes flickered, and she covered her face with a fan.
Su Zhong took out a treasure bag and threw it at him, straight to the point: "In it are the semi-finished Yuxin pills and prescriptions that I intercepted from Prince Qingping's mansion, as well as a record - King Qingping takes in orphans, controls and treats them A record of training to be a killer."
Bai Qi didn't know much about King Qingping. As he said, he didn't pay attention to the affairs of the royal family, so he was even more shocked when he heard the news from Su Zhong.
After checking the items in the treasure bag, he frowned and said, "What do you want me to do?"
"I don't interfere with the immortal master's decision." Su Zhong kicked the question back lightly, and said seemingly unintentionally: "Ju Cai will stay on Huainan Road to watch the actions of Qingping Palace, and I will receive a copy soon." list."
"List..."
Bai Qi is not stupid, and under Su Zhong's almost explicit reminder, she immediately guessed the contents of the list: "There are indeed too many people in the Taishang Mansion who protect King Qingping. There are more or less interests involved with him..."
"It's these 'interests' that are the problem. "Su Zhong smiled and pointed out the key points, "What kind of benefits are worth them to protect a person who uses Yuxin Dan on the human race and reproduces the actions of the two races of demons and demons back then?" "
"Uh..." Bai Qi took a deep breath, closed the folding fan, and her face was as cold as frost: "The Taishang Mansion has been in operation for many years, and it is inevitable that some insects will be born. I will take responsibility for this matter. But..."
He cut off the conversation abruptly, looked at Su Zhong with a strange look, and Su Zhong asked in bewilderment: "But what?"
"However, the Tianji Sect has never cared about the Taishangfu, and Su Sect Master is suddenly so concerned about this matter. I'm afraid it's not because of kindness?" Bai Qi tapped her palm lightly with her folding fan.
"It's really not." Su Zhi's smiling eyes gradually cooled down, like sharp edges soaked in sunlight, "My original intention was just to seek justice for my little brother."
"Uh..." Bai Qi took another deep breath, shook her head and laughed, and said with admiration: "Your concern for Su Yi is enviable and frightening..."
Su Zhong heard the words, the cold light in his eyes faded away, and the corner of his lips raised a smile again: "The fairy teacher is joking. When I get the list, I will hand it over to the fairy teacher as soon as possible. How to deal with it depends on the fairy teacher's choice."
Bai Qi chuckled: "Thank you for finding such a big trouble for me."
Su Zhong nodded politely: "It's easy to say."
……
The speed of the Yuandu flying boat is extremely fast, and under full speed, it only takes an hour to reach the outer edge of the wilderness of silence.
After the flying boat landed smoothly, Su Yi was the first to jump off the boat, hugged the white fox, turned around and waved to Ji Ji: "Senior brother, come down quickly! See if it's here!"
Hearing his cheerful voice, Ji Qiedao smiled slightly, walked quickly to his side, looked forward, and then swept in all directions, and saw a flat and open land all around, full of dry, hard, lumpy and rugged land. The uneven black-red soil is covered with fissures and ravines, almost fragmented.
Not a single blade of grass grows here, and no living things can be found. Apart from the sand, gravel and soil, the only thing is a large number of dry bones protruding from the ground or scattered between the cracks in the ditches. Even the sound of the wind seems lonely.
Although no danger is perceived, this place... is indeed a restricted area for life.
"It is indeed the wilderness of silence." The surrounding environment was no different from the description he had read in the book, Ji Qiedao nodded, but unconsciously frowned slightly.
Maybe it was the illusion of being in a strange place, he always felt that this place seemed peaceful, but there was some unspeakable danger hidden, which made him a little uneasy.
But Su Yi didn't feel this way at all, he was like a little beast that had just left its lair, curiously poked its head around, looked around, squatted down and poked the solid ground, seeing everything was novel.
Ji Qiedao didn't stop him, just looked at him with a smile and let him toss.
After observing for a while, Su Yi finally remembered that there were two other people on the flying boat, and they dawdled for a while not knowing what they were doing.
So he walked to the door of the flying boat and knocked, and shouted angrily, "Teacher Qi, fellow practitioner Liang! We've arrived! Come down quickly!"
The sound came into the interior, and after a long time, the figures of Liang Yuchen and Qi Lianyun appeared at the door.
The two supported each other, their legs were as soft as noodles, and they fell to the ground shaking three times with each step, their faces pale.
Su Yi couldn't understand their situation at first, and blinked in confusion. It wasn't until Qi Lianyun ran to the side and squatted down, retched a few times, that he suddenly understood:
"Ah, are you seasick?"
"It doesn't count." Liang Yuchen endured the turbulent nausea and forced a smile, "It's just that I haven't been on a flying boat before, so I don't feel used to it."
"Isn't that just seasickness?" Su Yi didn't expect that there were seasickness among the practitioners, and he really couldn't help them, so he asked dumbfoundedly: "By the way, do you usually get dizzy from the cloud escape technique?" ?”
Liang Yuchen pursed his lips tightly, feeling vaguely insulted, and was about to deny it, when Qi Lianyun, who had just rinsed his mouth after vomiting, put his shoulders on his shoulders, wiped the water stains from the corners of his lips, and said solemnly:
"We don't usually get cloud sickness, and it wasn't seasick just now, but a disease."
Su Yi tactically leaned back, with a serious expression: "What disease? Can medicine cure it?"
The white fox squatting on his shoulder also tilted its head, its blue eyes were full of curiosity.
"Poor disease!" Qi Lianyun's answer was resounding.
The white fox who listened intently: "..."
Su Yi: "It can't be cured, take it away."
This man is indeed a little sick.
The three of them made jokes for a while, which made the atmosphere in the team more relaxed and at the same time reduced Qi Lianyun and Liang Yuchen's seasickness sequelae.
The honest Ji Qiedao also took this opportunity to find a relatively intact place with the most bones in the vast deserted wilderness by means of probing techniques. As soon as they finished chatting, they took Su Yi to his side to help him. show the way.
"Going 300 meters to the east, there is a ditch about six meters wide and 20 meters deep. There are many bones buried underneath, and they are still relatively well preserved."
As Ji Qiedao said, he took the lead to move forward: "However, these bones are buried deeply. If you want to take them out completely without destroying them, it will take some time and patience. Is it possible for the younger brother to do it?"
"What can't be done? What a practitioner needs most is patience!"
Su Yi patted her chest to confirm the ticket, her eyes were bent into cute little crescents, although the pupils were out of focus, they were like glazed pearls, clear and bright, reflecting the bright sunlight, completely bright and moving.
Ji Qiedao really wanted to touch it, but didn't dare.
Afraid of poking my junior brother in the eye, and also afraid that he would get angry.
While the two were talking, Qi Lianyun rushed to the other side of Su Yi blankly, poked him on the shoulder, and said with a mean smile: "I said little peacock, you can see that his fingers are not touching the spring water Brother son, have you ever done such delicate work?"
"First of all, thank you for your recognition of me. I am indeed a happy son, and I don't get seasick." Su Yi said nonsense seriously, "Secondly, digging bones requires hands, it's not considered fine work!"
"Finally?" Qi Lianyun raised half of his eyebrows and approached him smilingly as he was so cute with his intentionally tense expression.
"Finally—" Su Yifei kicked him: "You talk a lot!"
Qi Lianyun jumped to avoid his sweeping legs, and let out a cheerful and arrogant laugh: "Hey! You can't kick!"
Hearing this, Ji Qiedao raised his eyebrows, hooked his fingertips, and Qi Lianyun was pulled by an unknown force, and suddenly tripped, his head almost fell flat.
Seeing this, Su Yi burst out laughing, Liang Yuchen, who was still a little dizzy, couldn't hold back his laughter, even the fox nestling on Su Yi's shoulder couldn't help making a mocking sound.
Qi Lianyun jumped up, quickly spit out the sand in his mouth, turned his head to look at Ji Qiedao, his eyes were resentful.
Ji Qiedao stretched out his hand to help the younger brother remove the fox fur sticking to his hair: I have no melons in the rain.jpg;
The four of them laughed together and came to the ditch that Ji Qiedao had mentioned. Standing on the top and looking down, the uneven bottom was almost full of white bones.
There are many potholes on the stone walls on both sides, and the corners of the bones are exposed in most of the potholes, which are buried very deep, and it is not easy to dig them out completely.
A group of people jumped to the bottom of the ditch and acted separately. Each of them used the exploration technique to find a complete skeleton that met the mission requirements, and then used magic to cut and separate the clods inlaid with the skeleton, and then did fine processing later.
With the assistance of the white fox with a keen sense of smell, Su Yi didn't even need to look for it, and soon dug out the bones of three ancient demons, a little faster than Ji Qiedao.
After everyone was busy, ten huge square clods of soil were displayed under the ditch. The black and red soil wrapped the white bones and placed them in the place where the corpses were everywhere. The visual impact was great and it was also very scary.
Liang Yuchen shook his ears, took out a sharp dagger from his sleeve, and said energetically, "Come on, it's time to separate the bones from the soil!"
Su Yi nodded, but suddenly found himself in a difficult situation—he hadn't considered doing this kind of meticulous cutting work before, and he didn't bring any sharp weapons except Qingping Sword, Nine-Star Liannu and other weapons.
"Little Peacock, did you forget to bring your tools?" Qi Lianyun moved to his side and winked at him, "Shall I lend you a carving knife?"
Su Yi remembered that he had a full set of carving tools, his eyes lit up, and he was about to nod in agreement, but Ji Qiedao slowly refused for him: "No need."
After all, he casually took out a dagger about the length of his palm. It was silver and white inlaid with gold and jade.
The next moment, this valuable dagger was in Su Yi's hands.
Facing the surprised gazes of the other three, Ji Qiedao was reserved and indifferent, and said slowly: "It's not something valuable, junior brother, let's use it first, if you don't take advantage of it, I'll change it for you."
"Take advantage of it! Of course I take advantage of it!"
Su Yi took the dagger carefully, stroked the exquisite scabbard with his fingertips, and after a lot of mental construction, he pulled out the dagger and scratched at the dirt.
The hard clod is like tofu under the blade, and a corner is easily cut off.
Seeing this, Ji Qiedao let him handle the corpse with peace of mind.
The opportunity to get closer to Su Yi was robbed, Qi Lianyun touched the tip of his nose resentfully, and took out his beloved carving tools from his sleeve.
Besides, senior brother Tao cheated too much, how could he deprive him of the chance to get close to the little peacock with such a vulgar item as a rare treasure?Being rich... Being rich seems really amazing!
He was thinking non-stop, and his hands were extremely nimble. After unfolding the cloth bag containing the carving tools, he took out a carving knife of a suitable size and started working.
What Qi Lianyun didn't notice was that when this set of carving tools appeared, a deep and cold dark color suddenly flashed across the blades at the same time, and the surrounding temperature dropped quietly. Although the change was not great, it aroused Ji Qiedao's vigilance... …
It also caused changes in the entire wilderness of silence!
There was a sharp sound of a sharp sword piercing the sky. Before Su Yi could react, his field of vision suddenly darkened several degrees, just like the sky drew a thick curtain, blocking all the light, although it was not to the point where he couldn't see his fingers. , but the visibility also plummeted to within two meters of the whole body.
He looked up in shock, and a scythe-like blood-red light reflected in his blind pupils.That ray of light traversed the sky over the deserted wilderness, like a huge and terrifying rift in the sky, and like a slightly opened eye, staring coldly at the world.
Both ends of the light extend to the border of the wilderness of silence, falling in an arc, and raising a translucent barrier.A buzzing resounded through the heavens and the earth, above the clouds, the clouds disappeared, and the clear blue sky, which was almost cold, showed white stars...
No, those are not stars, but condensed light clusters one by one, emitting a black, frightening light that seems to be burning.They gathered in one place, instead of spitting out light, they were devouring the already dim light, creating the feeling of day and night out of thin air.
A chill ran up his scalp from his back, and a strong sense of oppression poured down from the crack above his head and the dark stars. Su Yi was instantly frozen in place, unable to move.
"Junior Brother! Let's go!"
Ji Qiedao's unhurried speech rate finally changed. He grabbed Su Yi's hand, and then used magic to lift up Liang Yuchen and Qi Lianyun who were also stunned. And quickly swept to the outside of the wilderness of silence.
But he was one step too late after all, the bloody light like a sharp blade had pierced into the edge of the wilderness, and the barrier had been completed.
He flew forward, raised his hand and hit the barrier with all his strength. The profound spiritual power surged out, but he couldn't shake the barrier at all. There were only a few undetectable ripples on the top, and he was also shocked by the ensuing countershock force. Bounce back hard.
When he landed, Ji Qiedao staggered a few steps, Su Yi hurriedly supported him, with anxiety and worry flashing across his face: "Brother, are you alright?"
"It's okay." Gritting her teeth to calm down the turbulent breath, Ji Qiedao stopped him behind him.
At this moment, Qi Lianyun's shocking and distorted exclamation sounded beside him:
"what is that?!"
