Qingmu Town, located in the south of Liangzhou, used to be just an ordinary town, bordering the boundless woods to the south. The residents lived a self-sufficient life. However, an infant-ghost rebellion ten years ago broke the tranquility. The catastrophe took away too many people's lives, and a considerable number of those who survived the catastrophe chose to leave their hometowns and leave here. Only a few people chose to stay.
On the one hand, they stayed because they were relocating to their new home. They were either too old or too young. Secondly, they couldn't bear to worry about the relatives who stayed behind, so they hesitated to leave temporarily, but this delay passed. On the other hand, it is because the immortal cultivators of Xuanmumen have stayed in Qingmu Town for a long time since the disaster ten years ago, providing shelter for the residents of Qingmu Town. This also makes these people who choose to stay Once people feel at ease, the Aoki Inn, the only inn here, has become the headquarters of Xuanmu Sect and will no longer receive anyone.
In fact, a small place like Qingmu Town doesn't need an inn, especially since the Qingmu Inn is not small in scale, and the owner's identity is mysterious, and he is rumored to have a fairy background.
But now, it doesn't matter whether the rumors are true or not, because that's the reality now.
In the past ten years, people in Qingmu Town have returned one after another, some have left, and some have died. This normal birth, old age, illness and death are no longer as frightening as the disaster ten years ago, but they still touch the soft spot in everyone's heart. After all, as the number of people increases, The number of people living here has dropped sharply. People living here support each other. Even if they are not related by blood, they are like family members. Especially the death of the old genius doctor Xu made everyone sad.
After the old miracle doctor Xu passed away, Xu Hui'er, who he regarded as his granddaughter, inherited the medical clinic and treated people in Qingmu Town. She was taught by the old miracle doctor Xu, and her medical skills were recognized, but after all, she still had little experience, so it was inevitable that there would be some problems. It was a busy place, so Qingfeng often helped in the medical clinic. With Qingfeng's help, Xu Hui'er did very well. On the one hand, Qingfeng's medical skills were not inferior to hers. On the other hand, with Qingfeng present, she could always It made her feel at ease. This strange feeling made her feel an inexplicable dependence on Qingfeng.
Under dusk, Qingfeng walked out of the medical clinic, looked up at the dark sky, and frowned.
It was only a few steps back from the hospital to Baozipu. This short distance had become an indispensable part of his daily life. When he was thinking about something, the shadow lengthened by the setting sun emerged from the boundless woods. Hobbling over, those familiar footsteps instantly touched Qingfeng's heart.
He immediately returned to the medical center, brought out some herbs for treating trauma, and then quickly greeted him. His speed was very fast, and he arrived in front of Zhang Dashan in a short time and picked him up. Zhang Dashan was still carrying him on his back. He was carrying a bamboo basket with some newly picked herbs in it.
"Didn't I tell you not to go inside again?"
His tone was not without blame, and when he heard Zhang Dashan's chuckle, he became even more angry.
"Still laughing!"
Zhang Dashan said: "You help in the medical clinic every day, and it would be too hard for you to go into the mountains to collect medicine."
"It doesn't affect me."
"It's not good to attract attention anyway."
Qingfeng was silent for a moment.
Since he was rescued by Zhang Dashan who went to collect medicine in the boundless woods ten years ago, he has lived with Zhang Dashan. Zhang Dashan has never questioned his past, even if he saw him combining his green hair and that The shining green eyes turned black, and they remained silent after a while of surprise. Neither of them asked or mentioned anything, but they both knew one thing, that Qingfeng's experience was related to Xuanmumen.
Xuanmumen now lives in Qingmu Town and goes to the boundless woods from time to time. He has never stopped for ten years. This makes Qingfeng always suppress his anger. After ten years, they still haven't given up!
Carrying Zhang Dashan back to the bun shop, Qingfeng gave him medicine, and a refreshing coolness spread quickly. Most of these medicines were collected by Zhang Dashan, but those medicines for treating trauma were in Qingfeng's hands. It can always produce amazing curative effects.
The pain on his body was reduced a lot. Zhang Dashan stretched his hands and feet slightly, and then said: "The woods have seemed much quieter in the past two days."
Qingfeng paused, nodded, and sent the medicine collected by Zhang Dashan to the medical center.
After Qingfeng went out, Zhang Dashan looked at the place where Qingfeng applied medicine to him, and murmured softly: "Did you use your ability again...?"
There are a large number of monsters lurking in the boundless woods. With the activity of Xuanmumen cultivators, a forest near Qingmu Town has become a safe zone. Those ferocious and powerful monsters are active in the depths of the woods and rarely appear, but that If only one demonic beast emerges, it will be difficult for the cultivators of Xuanmu Sect to deal with it, and Qingmu Town will suffer another disaster.
Regarding this, the immortal cultivators of Xuanmu Sect also know that in the past ten years, due to the orders of the sect leader Qingyi Ke, they have always had to explore the boundless woods. In fact, even they themselves do not know what they are looking for, they just follow Xiang Yi. As the mulberry grows, their actions in the boundless forest become more and more vigilant, and they no longer dare to disturb the forest. Even if they are vigilant, the residents who go into the mountains to collect medicine can always see the figures of those cultivators. .
It's just that in recent days, there seem to be fewer immortal cultivators entering the boundless woods. Not only in the woods, Qingfeng can detect that there are also fewer immortal cultivators in Xuanmumen, especially those outside the immortal cultivators who have chosen to leave. During the conversation, Qingfeng also heard some information related to the incident in Yuzhou.
"Maybe this is an opportunity to go back to Ao no Mori for a visit."
Qingzhimen is Qingfeng's home. Although that home is now occupied by Xuanmumen, it is the place where Qingfeng grew up. It is difficult for him to let go. After ten years, Xuanmumen has not been able to find him. Although He said that he has not given up yet, but the intensity of the search is not as strong as before. Especially the immortal cultivators of Xuanmumen have no idea what they are looking for. They just aimlessly search for anything "suspicious". So even if Qing Qing Even if the wind swaggers past them, they will not know that this is the target they are looking for.
This ridiculous persistence makes Qingfeng secretly annoyed. His life was disrupted because of those people, and he can't even return home now. But now is an opportunity. The turmoil in Yuzhou affects the immortal cultivation forces in the entire China. Even small sects like Xuanmumen were affected.
After Qingfeng sorted out the medicinal materials, he returned to the bun shop full of thoughts.
…
…
Qingmu Inn, Qingyi Ke, the master of Xuanmu Sect, is listening to the reports of his disciples. What concerns him the most is the news of searching into the boundless forest, but the result is the same as before, nothing was found.
Ten years have passed, and no trace of time has been left on Tsing Yi Ke. He even looks rosy and younger than he was ten years ago.
This is not a strange thing for the immortal cultivators, but when it happens to the immortal cultivators of Xuanmu Sect, it becomes strange, especially since the other immortal cultivators above and below Xuanmu Sect have been stained by the marks of time because of these ten years. The changes in Qingyi Ke's body are even more weird. After all, Xuanmumen's Lingmu Jue is not a profound method, and the effect on rejuvenating the appearance is not significant.
"Master, there is a sense of depression everywhere in the boundless woods now. The monsters lurking in the dark seem to be a little restless. We always rush in like this, fearing that one day we will lure those monsters out, which will not only be us If we can't deal with it, Qingmu Town will also suffer. Should we..."
When the disciple met the angry gaze of the guest in green, his words suddenly became hesitant, and he quickly lowered his head to consider his words.
"We... don't know what we are looking for. We have been searching for ten years and found nothing, so... so... we may never... find it again, so why not..."
"Am I the sect master or are you the sect master?"
The disciple couldn't help but take a step back.
"Don't you dare to listen to what I say?"
The disciple thought of his fellow disciples who had died at the hands of Qingyi Ke for no reason in the past ten years, and hurriedly knelt down, not even daring to say a word.
At this time, there was a sound of music coming from the next door. Qing Yi Ke immediately calmed down his anger, glared at the disciple, got up and walked out of the room. The door and door were opened and closed twice.
