Zhang Xiaozu's injury was not serious, but it was not minor either.
The depletion of his soul and blood left him temporarily exhausted, exhausted both in energy and blood.
But his mood was very beautiful, because he knew that Butcher Zhang was still alive.
What he didn't understand was that he clearly didn't see anything strange, so why did he "reveal the secret" and even get struck by lightning?
At that time, he only felt that his soul was flying at high speed in the darkness for a long time, and then suddenly his eyes lit up and he saw a person squatting on the ground and running away.
Just as he was about to get closer, Yu Chengyang's urgent call suddenly came to his ears, asking him to come back quickly.
Then his soul was sucked back by a strong force, and his vision quickly receded and blurred.
I could only vaguely see that the old man seemed to have encountered something terrible. He picked up his pants and ran away without wiping his butt.
"Could it be that the old man didn't wipe his butt, so he couldn't reveal the secret? Haha..."
Zhang Xiaozu couldn't help but amuse himself as he thought about it.
"What beautiful thing did this child dream of, and he is so happy?" Shen Wenjun was sitting on the bedside. Hearing Zhang Xiaopou suddenly burst out laughing, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and started laughing.
Zhang Xiaozhu heard his mother's voice while he was half asleep and half awake. He wanted to tell her not to worry and let her go back to sleep. However, his eyelids were as heavy as lead and he could not open them. Then his consciousness became deeper and deeper, and he finally fell asleep.
"Mom, when do you plan to go home?" Qi Yoyo, who couldn't sleep after being awakened by the thunder, got into Wan Qingqiu's bed.
She originally wanted to take care of Zhang Xiaozu, but when she saw Shen Wenjun beside the bed, she, a girl, had no nerve to speak, so she had to give up.
"I won't come back." Wan Qingqiu responded.
In the darkness, she stared at the roof with her eyes open, her haggard face showing sadness and loneliness, as well as suppressed anger.
News of Butcher Zhang's death spread throughout Dasu, and even an old man in his sixties or seventies from the south of Yancheng came to see Butcher Zhang off on his last journey, using a cane and fearless of the difficult and long journey, but Qi Wuwei did not come.
He only sent a letter to express his condolences and explain to Wan Qingqiu why he could not come.
After reading his explanation, Wan Qingqiu couldn't help but sneer, because he could sum it up in two words: too busy.
"Are you angry that father didn't come?" Qi Yoyo asked in a low voice.
"I have already written the letter of separation and will send someone to Yancheng tomorrow. I want to sever ties with Qi Wuwei, no, with his Qi family. The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. No one with the surname Qi is good." Wan Qingqiu gritted his teeth and said.
Qi Wuwei didn't come, and neither Qi Changfeng nor Qi Changkong came, so Wan Qingqiu blamed the father and son together.
Wan Qingqiu was not saying harsh words. The night she received Qi Wuwei's letter, she wrote the letter of peace and separation.
"Mom, you scolded me too." Qi Yoyo said depressedly.
"After Qi Wuwei and I make peace, you will live with me and change your surname to Wan." Wan Qingqiu said angrily.
"...Is this okay?"
"Why not? Or are you unwilling to follow mother and want to go back to Yancheng to find Qi Wuwei?"
Qi Yoyo felt the two cold gazes coming from the darkness, and quickly echoed: "Yes, no one named Qi is good. From now on, I will take your last name and change my name to Wan Yoyo."
"Wan yo yo sounds a hundred times better than Qi yo yo." Wan Qingqiu said with satisfaction.
"..." Qi Yoyo.
"Hey..." Wan Qingqiu suddenly sighed and said, "I just regret that I was too young and didn't listen to my master and my wife. There were so many people pursuing me back then, why did I choose Qi Wuwei?"
"Fortunately you didn't listen. If you had listened, nothing would happen to me in this world." Qi Yoyo said happily.
"Ha, it's better without you. Without you, I would have to worry less and I will definitely be able to live for several more years." Wan Qingqiu said venomously.
"..." Qi Yoyo rolled her eyes at Wan Qingqiu.
"Tell me, what are your plans next? Go back to the military camp and be your general?" Wan Qingqiu sighed, pinched his eyebrows worriedly, and said with a wry smile: "If you were a man, Qi Wuwei would probably be happy. It’s hard to find the north.”
Hearing that Qi Yoyo didn't respond, Wan Qingqiu thought that she really wanted to go back to the military camp and continue to be a general. He suddenly felt sulky in his heart and said, "It will be the Chinese New Year in half a month. After the Chinese New Year, you will be twenty-one years old. You will be a general soon." An old girl.”
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Qi Yoyo said with a black line on her head and an unhappy look on her face: "Twenty-one years old is the prime of youth, why have you become an old girl?!"
"Ha, you haven't discovered the feelings yourself yet." Wan Qingqiu curled his lips.
"What did you find?"
"You have led troops in expeditions here and there all year round. You have worked hard and hard. The wind, sun, frost and rain have made you look several years older than your actual age."
"This is called maturity."
Boom!
Wan Qingqiu suddenly hit Qi Yoyo on the forehead with his finger.
"Mom, what are you doing?!" Qi Yoyo yelled, covering her forehead in pain.
"Is maturity used to describe women? Have you heard anyone use these two words to praise women? Doesn't maturity mean old when used on women? Is there something wrong in your mind?" Wan Qingqiu became more and more angry as he spoke, and said to He touched Qi Yoyo's forehead.
"A gentleman talks but never moves his hands." Qi Yoyo said angrily.
Boom!
Wan Qingqiu immediately gave her another blow and said angrily: "Are you used to hanging out in the military camp and really think of yourself as a man? Are there any gentlemen here? There are only two women here, two old women!"
"Mom, you are so cruel. In order to hurt me, you won't even let yourself go." Qi Yoyo said in shock.
Wan Qingqiu said: "I am already in my forties, what should I be afraid of? Unlike someone else, I will grow old before my time."
"Ah, stop talking!" Qi Yoyo yelled angrily.
"Look at your hands..." Wan Qingqiu grabbed Qi Yoyo's hand, rubbed her palm with his fingers, and said with disgust: "The palms are full of calluses. Any man who holds hands with you will be disgusted. ——Woo——”
Qi Yoyo covered Wan Qingqiu's mouth to prevent her from continuing to speak, because this mouth was too poisonous and she was afraid that she would be pissed to death if she continued to listen.
Snapped!
Wan Qingqiu slapped Qi Yoyo's hand away.
Qi Yoyo stood up, put on a coat, and said angrily: "You can sleep alone!"
"Get out of here, just like I begged you to do!" Wan Qingqiu kicked Qi Yoyo on the butt and kicked her off the bed.
"Ah..." Qi Yoyo stood in front of the bed and glared at Wan Qingqiu, as if he was eager to bite.
Wan Qingqiu gave her a grimace in return.
"A woman in her forties still imitates other girls in making faces, why don't you be ashamed!" Qi Yoyo taunted her and ran away.
"Qiyoyo, I'm going to kill you!" Wan Qingqiu shouted angrily.
"Giggle..." Qi Yoyo slammed the door and left with a winner's laughter.
The mother and daughter seemed to be the reincarnation of enemies from their previous lives. It was like this every time. They would start to quarrel after barely speaking a few words together.
"Hey..." Qi Yoyo returned to his room, looked at the bronze mirror for a while, and sighed quietly.
She found that what her mother said seemed to be true, and her face seemed to be several years older than her actual age.
She looked down at her palms again. Although they were not calloused as her mother said, the palms of her fingers were indeed calloused, which was completely incompatible with the words "soft as if boneless".
She held her right hand with her left hand and felt it for a while, then let out a long sigh, which even she felt a little disgusted with.
When she thought about the several hideous scars on her body, her heart suddenly felt like it was falling into the abyss, and she felt like she had no hope for life.
"I have to go to Golden Fairy tomorrow and ask her about any good ways to take care of her skin..." Qi Yoyo lay on the bed and tossed for a long time before falling asleep.
In the middle of the night, someone sneaked into the Guowei Mansion to do evil things, but they all failed and were trapped by the phantom array set up by Yu Chengyang.
After dawn, all those who had been killed were executed to frighten the desperadoes who still had the same idea.
Wan Qingqiu indeed sent someone to the southern border to deliver the letter of departure to Qi Wuwei. Qi Yoyo saw it but did not dissuade her because she knew her father would definitely not agree.
She held the little white tiger, which had grown to over a foot long, and showed it off in front of Wan Qingqiu. Then... Wan Qingqiu snatched it away, saying that he was using it to amuse the old lady, so she couldn't refuse.
Zhang Xiaozu told the old lady not to pamper the little white tiger too much, saying that it was best to let it out at night to catch mice and cultivate its wild nature.
"..." Little White Tiger bared his teeth at Zhang Xiaopeng.
When Qi Yoyo saw Zhang Xiaozu being pulled into the room by Yu Chengyang to teach Taoism, he went to Jin Zhihui for advice on how to take care of his skin. Unexpectedly, he met Zhang Xiaobing halfway.
"Little sister, what happened?" Qi Yoyo saw Zhang Xiaobing's hurried expression and asked quickly.
"Sister Yoyo, there seems to be something wrong with my realm, and I wanted to ask you some questions." Zhang Xiaobing said with a sad expression.
On the way back from Zhongzhou, Qi Yoyo and Zhang Xiaobing told Zhang Xiaobing about the coincidence that the tombstone she had enlightened on in the cemetery was the tombstone carved by Zhang Xiaobing, so Zhang Xiaobing knew that the tombstone that Qi Yoyo and she had enlightened on should be the same tombstone.
So after discovering that there was a problem with his practice, Zhang Xiaobing came to Qi Yoyo for advice, hoping to find the problem.
"What's the problem?" Qi Yoyo asked.
"I landed on the other side of the sea without seeing the stars. At first, I thought I was advancing to the sea realm and reaching the peak realm, but after practicing these days, I realized that it was not the case.
Maybe I missed something important when I was studying the inheritance of tombstones in the ruins. Sister Yoyo and I should be studying the same tombstone, so I came to find you. "
Qi Yoyo frowned and pondered for a moment, then said: "It's probably not that I missed anything, but that the inheritance on that tombstone was incomplete, because when I was studying and practicing in the cemetery, I was also stuck on the peak you mentioned. Realm, then enter the main hall to comprehend the jade slips and practice, and then enter the star realm."
As she spoke, she reached out and took out the jade slip she had meditated on in the hall from the void space and handed it to Zhang Xiaobing.
When she was rescued by Yan Taibai, she was holding the jade slip in her hand and put it into her arms.
Otherwise, he would be like other cultivators, who would leave the jade slips in the scorched earth basin as their bodies turned into blood.
"This..." Zhang Xiaobing looked at the jade slip handed to him. He wanted to take it but was embarrassed because it was too valuable.
Qi Yoyo said: "You can take it for enlightenment and cultivation first. I won't be able to use it for the time being."
"Thank you sister Yoyo!"
"You don't need to be so polite with me."
Seeing Zhang Xiaobing leaving in a hurry, eager to practice and work hard to make progress, Qi Yoyo couldn't help but feel ashamed and felt that he was not doing his job properly, so he turned around and walked back, preparing to concentrate on practicing.
Click!
Suddenly, a thunderbolt fell from the sky and struck Guowei Mansion, blasting a large hole in the roof of a house.
Qi Yoyo hurriedly jumped into the air and looked towards the house that was struck by lightning. She found that Yu Chengyang and Zhang Xiaozu were staying in that house. She couldn't help being shocked. She didn't know what earth-shattering things the old and the young were doing.
Zhang Xiaozu was very sad because he didn't do anything earth-shattering. He just tried to draw a talisman according to Yu Chengyang's instructions. As soon as he drew a stroke, thunder struck down.
