Ping Nanchen looked very haggard at the moment, and he had become much thinner. The clothes seemed to hang on him, empty.
He was holding a rough machete in his hand, as if he wanted to go up the mountain to chop wood.
When Ping Nanchen saw Gu Qingxi, he was startled at first, then his face showed joy, and then he seemed to think of something again, and his face darkened again.
He said hello: "Fellow Daoist Gu."
"Fellow Taoist Ping." Gu Qingxi nodded politely.
Ping Nanchen glanced at Liao Kong and Feng Xiantian behind Gu Qingxi, and a smile appeared on Qingjun's haggard face: "Your friends are all here and everything is fine. That's good."
"Yes, we are all okay." Gu Qingxi nodded.
She had no interaction with Ping Nanchen. She only said hello when she boarded the Tianyin Sect's thrust boat.
"Really, then...that's good." Ping Nanchen murmured, a little absent-minded.
Gu Qingxi had no intention of talking to Heping Nanchen, nor did he want to know what happened to the people with him.
No matter how difficult it is for them to come to this dimension, it was all caused by themselves in the first place.
We are all adults and of course we have to take responsibility for our own actions.
Gu Qingxi nodded and was about to leave.
Ping Nanchen looked at Gu Qingxi's back, hesitant on his face, opened his mouth, but finally made no sound and watched Gu Qingxi and his group go away. When she saw Feng Xiantian holding a child in her hand, a look of surprise appeared on her face. Are there any children who have fallen into this weird place?
Ping Nanchen sighed softly and prepared to go up the mountain with the machete.
How could he have the face to ask Gu Qingxi and the others for help?
They had no relatives and no reason, so He Ze invited them to board the thrust boat just to plot against them. Unexpectedly, they fell into this strange space. Shen Wei was still seriously injured and dying.
Liao Kong walked at the end and turned to look at Ping Nanchen's back.
The way He Ze and Shen Wei invited low-level monks to board the ship was neither good nor bad.
There is no such thing as a good thing in the world. When those monks receive such help, they should think more about the profound meaning of it.
As for coercing the casual cultivators to break the barrier and consuming their spiritual power, from Shen Wei's point of view, it was inevitable and necessary. Although Liao Kong thought that was wrong.
As for Ping Nanchen, Liao Kong's sense of him was not bad, because when Shen Wei threatened the casual cultivators, he tried to stop him.
Suddenly, Gu Qingxi stopped and called out: "Fellow Taoist Ping."
Ping Nanchen was startled, stopped, and turned to look at Gu Qingxi.
"From now on, I have the final say in this place. If anyone bullies you, come to me." Gu Qingxi said lightly, but her tone was so unquestionable.
Ping Nanchen was really stunned.
"I'm not kidding you. Yesterday you heard ghosts crying and wolves howling in the village. It was me who was killing people." When Gu Qingxi saw Ping Nanchen stunned, she thought he didn't believe it, so she explained.
Ping Nanchen came back to his senses and waved his hand: "No, I didn't mean that. I just..."
"I just didn't expect Qing Xi to say this and be willing to help you?" Liao Kong took over.
"Yes..." Ping Nanchen replied in a low voice.
"I'm not helping you. Didn't you hear what I said clearly? From now on, I have the final say in this place. Do you understand? From now on, I will be the boss here." Gu Qingxi pointed at herself and said very openly.
Feng Xiantian felt that Gu Qingxi looked like a gangster boss at this moment. And they are the minions following behind. Of course, it was my old habit to mutter these words in my heart and not dare to say them out.
"Okay, I understand." Ping Nanchen heard this, a faint smile appeared on his face and nodded.
After Gu Qingxi said this, she turned around and left.
Ping Nanchen stood there, watching Gu Qingxi's back go away, and whispered: "Thank you..."
The word "thank you" quickly dissipated in the air, and Ping Nanchen turned around and walked up the mountain.
Gu Qingxi returned to the courtyard gate carrying firewood and found a ragged female nun huddled in the corner of the courtyard gate.
This female cultivator had obviously tried hard to dress up. She tried her best to comb her yellow hair back, and her face was haggard but clean. As soon as she saw Gu Qingxi, she stood up excitedly.
"Are you the one kept by those five scumbags?" Gu Qingxi guessed the identity of this female cultivator almost instantly.
Gu Qingxi's keenness surprised Tantai Yang.
"Yes! Thank you, thank you for avenging me, thank you." The female cultivator bowed and saluted Gu Qingxi, she was so excited that she was a little incoherent, "Can you accept me? I can wash clothes and cook."
When she learned that the five beasts were killed by the girl in front of her and the corpses were fed to the monsters, she cried and laughed for a long time.
The hellish days are finally over.
She had thought about dying, but was unwilling to do so. She kept enduring it, hoping that one day she would be able to escape from this hell. Just when she couldn't hold on any longer and was about to give up, Gu Qingxi's light appeared!
The screams of those people that day resounded throughout the village, and she felt so happy listening to those screams.
Before coming to see Gu Qingxi, she felt anxious.
She was afraid that she had escaped from the tiger's mouth and fallen into the wolf's den again.
After all, many of the people in this place can no longer be called human beings. They are beasts that have long lost their humanity.
But the moment she saw Gu Qingxi, her heart instantly relaxed.
Gu Qingxi's eyes are beautiful and clear.
The few men following Gu Qingxi were obviously headed by her.
Gu Qingxi originally didn't want to accept it. She just wanted to change the rules of the village and make people more honest. I plan to make a promise to the woman that no one will dare to bully her again. If she is afraid, she can move to live near them.
As a result, Gu Qingxi's eyes lit up when she heard the last sentence.
If you know how to do laundry, you can also cook?
That's great! This is a talent.
She only knows how to barbecue, let alone the other three. They even despise the food they cook, so why do they still expect them?
"Okay, I'll take you in. You will be mine from now on. I will kill anyone who bullies you. Come cook for us." Gu Qingxi said happily. Talent must be retained!
The female cultivator nodded happily, and then said her name: "Girl, please call me Axiu."
Gu Qingxi understood that the female cultivator did not want to say her name, perhaps because she was afraid that people would recognize her that she was once so beautiful, but now she was so down and out. Or perhaps completely abandoning the past and starting over.
No matter what the reason was, Gu Qingxi did not delve into it, but chose to respect the female cultivator's choice.
"Okay, my name is Gu Qingxi, a disciple of the Tianqing Sect. This is Kong, a disciple of the Wanfo Sect, a casual practitioner of Feng Xiatian, a casual practitioner of Tantai Yang. Just ignore that child." Gu Qingxi introduced.
Feng Muhua quietly glared at Gu Qingxi, why should she ignore him? He is very powerful, okay! It just becomes less powerful here.
Feng Xiantian hurriedly blocked Feng Muhua behind her, preventing Gu Qingxi from seeing Feng Muhua's glare.
He was really afraid that Gu Qingxi would arrest Feng Muhua and beat him up.
Gu Qingxi could definitely do such a thing.
"Hello." Axiu saluted slightly, a little restrained.
Everyone nodded and said nothing more.
"Oh, by the way, Uncle Tantai, take me around the village. I think we should let them understand who has the final say in this place." Gu Qingxi put down the firewood and turned to Tantai Yang said.
Tantai Yang smiled slightly and nodded: "I'm very happy."
