Jiang Qunshu flew to the ground. Blood clots continued to pour out of the mouth of the girl in his arms, and the clothes on her chest were wet.
"You stupid woman, I just came out of seclusion and you turned into this dead state. If it weren't for the sake of Hongmeng's energy, you see, I don't care about you!" Xiaoxu's voice came from her mind, and she was confused. Even the response was reluctant.
The heavenly fire inside her body mixed with the purple mist repaired each of her meridians, and the cracked Dantian was slowly put back together.
After walking for an unknown distance, Jiang Qunshu finally put her down. The miserable condition of the girl in his arms made his eyelids tremble. He fed the rejuvenation pills and Qi-boosting pills in the storage bag into her mouth, "Ling'er?"
Her breathing was extremely weak, and her pupils were staring directly at him. Looking at Jiang Ling'er's appearance, Jiang Qunshu seemed to have made a lot of determination, and slowly said: "I am not your father."
The girl's distracted eyes became clear for a moment.
"Back then, your father and I were both junior brothers and we had a very good relationship. We often went to training together. Your father was still my savior." Jiang Qunshu's face seemed to look a little better as he recalled some good memories, "Suddenly One day, your father said that he was going to the mortal world. Before he left, he told me that if a woman comes to me in the future and calls me father, I must take his place and take care of her."
He turned his eyes to the dying girl in his arms, feeling guilty, "I'm sorry for Huai Zhou."
"Your father's name is Zhao Huaizhou. Your surname is Zhao and your given name is Ling'er. Here are the things he left for you."
Jiang Qunshu placed a ring on Jiang Ling'er's belly, "I, Jiang Qunshu, have apologized to both of you, father and daughter. I will make amends in the next life!" After saying this, he left as if running away.
Jiang Ling'er's chest rose and fell, and her breathing slowed down.
"It's amazing that you can get yourself into this half-dead state." Tianhuo said with a strange tone, "They left you here to fend for yourself, and you still stopped me from burning him to death. You are so kind, why don't you change and practice cultivation? Buddhism?”
"If you kill him, I won't be able to survive. What if the Jiang family sends someone to hunt me down?" Jiang Ling'er used her spiritual consciousness to communicate with Xiaoxu, "Where can I run to where I'm half dead?"
"It's so frustrating to be with you, so lucky for him!" Tianhuo complained as he scurried around in his Dantian angrily.
Jiang Ling'er smiled, tried her best to raise the corners of her mouth, and said softly: "Thank you."
"Don't be so sentimental. I've never suffered such grievances, young master, and I can't bear to swallow this!" Then he ignored her and stayed beside Ziwu to practice.
The purple mass emitted wisps of mist and surrounded her body, and the sky fire was also guided in. After being quenched, the meridians took on the color of glass, which were transparent, wide and tough, and were continuously transporting spiritual energy to the Dantian.
Slowly, a small area of the visible crack in Dantian was repaired.
Jiang Ling'er felt that her body was gradually gaining strength, and she slowly stood up and leaned against the wall.
Her consciousness slowly returned, and she looked at the ring that had slipped to the ground, and her consciousness penetrated it.
Inside are densely packed jade slips and a black stone of strange material.
The jade slips contain Zhao Huaizhou's notes.
"Ling'er learned five characters today. He is really smart. He is worthy of being the child of me and Su Niang."
"It's really surprising that Lingxi fruit actually grows in the mortal world. The taste is a bit sour, and Ling'er doesn't like eating it."
"I can't find anything at all."
"The formation that cannot be solved."
…
She patiently looked at them one by one. Even if it was threads and gravel lying aside, she would use her spiritual sense to detect it, but the black stones were like roadside goods that could be seen everywhere, inconspicuous.
Except for some words about her, the rest of the jade slips contain strange and puzzling words and patterns.
Dad, are you looking for something?
Ever since she was sensible, she knew very little about her father except for some memories from her childhood.
Jiang Ling'er thought of the triangular token in her storage bag, which had turned into a purple ball of air and was hidden in her Dantian.
She continued to rummage, and in addition to the jade slips and small black stones, there were also a few spiritual beads.
Jiang Ling'er was very happy this time, which was better than leaving no clues before.
Even if she hasn't met the person who wrote the jade slip, she can still outline a father who loves her from a few words.
It's great that her father is not that stupid person who doesn't know the difference between right and wrong.
Jiang Ling'er felt a huge weight drop in her heart.
A few days later, she walked out of Taoyuan Town and rested in Tianshui City.
In the private room of Linyue Restaurant, she was feasting on the dishes in front of her.
Two bowls of pearl rice and a cup of seafood stewed egg.
The rice grains are distinct. Add peas, corn kernels, diced carrots and shredded eggs and stir-fry. The entrance is filled with the sweetness of the fresh vegetables and the oily aroma of the rice.
Scoop a spoonful of seafood stewed eggs, clams, shrimps, scallops, and abalone on top. The smooth and tender egg custard has the unique flavor of seafood. Mix it with rice, ask for a few drops of sesame oil, and finish two bowls in a short time.
The food turned into spiritual energy and seeped into her meridians, and she felt like she was alive again.
At this time, Jiang Ling'er was eating longan and mandarin oranges, listening to the chatter of others.
"When will you try your luck? Maybe you can become an outsider."
"It's so whimsical. It's still an outer door. It would be great if I could sneak in and work as a handyman."
"What's the point of being a handyman? You have to do all the hard work. Who cares about you if you work like a cow or a horse? You might as well just be free and become a casual cultivator."
"What you said is wrong! Then there are good and bad sects, right? If you work as a handyman in a good sect, you will get a bottle of Qi-boosting elixir every month. Do you have it as a casual cultivator?"
"What, Qi-Building Pill?!"
Not only the two of them, but the people around them all turned their attention, "Fellow Taoist, which sect is so grand that the handymen also give out Qi-boosting pills?"
The bald man who was being watched looked proud, "No need to ask, which sect is the most powerful in the world? It's the Tianqing Sect!"
There was an uproar in the restaurant, and everyone started talking.
This included Jiang Ling'er, who turned her head and looked at the bald man who was speaking.
Isn't Tianqing Sect the sect where the ancestor of the Jiang family belongs?
"Tianqingzong, you said it, but you didn't say it. Does that mean you can enter if you want to?"
"That's right. Besides, the work required there is more than that of a dog and more tiring than that of an ox. Whoever goes there will be unlucky!"
The bald man scratched his head and ignored the sighs around him. He chuckled and said, "No matter how tired you are, you still have a bottle of Qi Replenishing Pill!"
His words made many people present ready to move.
"Brother, are you going to become a disciple of Tianqing Sect?"
The bald man turned around and saw a beautiful fairy. He couldn't help but become enthusiastic, "No, I'm going to Wuyang Sect. There are many people who dance with swords and guns, which is suitable for someone like me."
Jiang Ling'er did not remember this Wuyang Sect, and couldn't help but ask: "Are there many major sects in Zhongzhou?"
"That's not much. There are four sects in total. The largest and most famous is Tianqing Sect, followed by Beidou Sect, Ziwei Temple, and Five Fire Sword Sect."
She nodded. What the bald man said was roughly the same as what she remembered.
She still doesn't know the general location of Tianshui City, but she still knows the famous place name Zhongzhou.
"The Wuyang Sect I want to go to is somewhat famous, and the rest are small sects and small sects. If Fairy wants to go, he should first consider the four sects. They have deep foundations, spiritual weapons, techniques, and cultivation resources. You can go and try it.”
Jiang Ling'er ordered some delicious dishes for the bald man, thanked him, and left the restaurant.
Now, Dad's whereabouts have become a bigger mystery. Is it going to stop here?
Of course not, she could vaguely feel that Jiang Qunshu was hiding something from her. The clues were right in front of her, but Jiang Ling'er was helpless now.
If she wants to know what happened to her father, she has to become stronger. At least, she has to be stronger than everyone in the Jiang family!
