I stood up in a daze. Haitang didn't say where Heizi was, but I really wanted to find Heizi and say sorry to him.
But now I should go see my wife. She must not have slept a wink all night.
"Clan leader..." I knocked on the door.
"Come in." The clan leader's voice was equally hoarse.
"Disciple Zhang Tianyi, please pay my respects to Master." I opened the door and knelt down.
"Get up." The clan leader smiled and waved his hand.
"Master Wife, you..." I wanted to ask you if you don't blame me, but I didn't dare to say such stupid words again.
"Since he has chosen this path, everything is doomed. I feel bad, but I just didn't have the chance to say goodbye to him." The clan leader said and handed the sword back to me.
"It's not luck that you survived, and you don't owe anyone. It's just your destiny. Some things have to be done by someone, do you understand?" Seeing that I didn't dare to reach out to take it, the patriarch continued.
"I seem to understand..." I took the sword with both hands and lowered my head.
"If you understand, hold your chest high. Your master has been magnanimous throughout his life, and I hope you will be the same." The clan leader raised his voice as he spoke.
"Understood." I straightened up and nodded vigorously.
"Your two friends will be fine after two days of rest. I have one more thing to ask you before you leave. Now, go find your junior brother." The clan leader stood up with a smile, as if he had read my mind.
"Thank you, Master." I knelt down and kowtowed again, stood up and exited the door.
Unexpectedly, Haitang and Peony were standing guard outside the house. When they saw me coming out, they took the initiative to point out the whereabouts of Heizi.
I walked along the cave and when I was about to exit the cave, I saw a smoking sunspot on a platform formed by boulders.
"Heizi, I'm sorry." I apologized directly without any ink.
"I was also at fault. I went too far." Heizi sat up while lying down.
"You're right, you're right. I've always complained that I don't have the right to choose, but there are many things in the world that we can't choose. I don't have the realm of grandpa, so I can't make any big sense. I sincerely apologize to you. I'm sorry." I said what was in my heart in one breath.
"You moved grandpa out, can I still forgive you?" Heizi was stunned for a moment, then jumped down with a smile.
"How are Uncle Qiu's men?" Heizi smiled and put his arm around my shoulders.
"How did you know that I went to see the teacher's wife?" I looked at him in surprise.
"Hey, let me count on my fingers..." Heizi is still the same as before.
But I am not who I used to be.
Back in the village, under the leadership of Haitang, we first visited two of Qiu Sheng's men.
The people have woken up, but their mental state is still very poor. However, the people in the village have taken good care of them. They should be able to return after two days of rest.
But in the end, the three people rescued on the river beach were already alive and kicking.
"My mother said that if we get rid of the poisonous insects in time, if it's too late, we'll be dead," Haitang explained.
"By the way, what kind of worm did you get from that witch and Gu master?" Mudan came over curiously.
"That's it." I said and raised my hand to put a little on the Qiankun bracelet.
Gu Zu appeared in my hand instantly, raising his head curiously and looking at the people and objects around him.
Haitang and Mudan were so frightened that they took several steps back, and both of them nervously put their hands on their scabbards.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's very well-behaved." I quickly comforted the two of them.
"You haven't fed it yet." Heizi reminded him.
"Yeah." I said and wanted to prick my finger.
Unexpectedly, the patriarch appeared at this time and interrupted me.
"Xiaotian, do you know what this is?" The patriarch looked at me sadly.
"The witch and Gu master calls it Gu Zu." Anyway, Rakshasa and Wei Yucheng also said so, so this title is unmistakable.
"Forget it, no one else can control this thing except you, but don't feed the blood directly into its mouth. It's best to drip it on your Qiankun bracelet." The clan leader of My Story knows very well.
"And if you cut your finger, you can only use the sword your master left you." The clan leader continued.
"Disciple Zhao Quan, please pay homage to your master." Heizi got up to his best at critical moments and knelt down in front of the clan leader as he spoke.
"Okay, okay, get up." The clan leader smiled and helped Heizi up.
"I know what you want to ask. This is just to prevent it from being too evil. If this thing doesn't obey your orders, it will be more deadly than the Rakshasa in your hand." The master's wife turned to look at me.
"Understood." I said and quickly put Gu Zu back into the Qiankun Bracelet, cut my finger and dripped three drops of blood on the Qiankun Bracelet.
This Qiankun Bracelet is indeed a magic weapon. My blood was completely absorbed as soon as it touched the bracelet, and the bracelet glowed with a burst of red light.
"Zhao Quan pays homage to the two senior sisters." Heizi didn't look at me at all and clasped his fists towards the two girls.
Haitang and Mudan are the same age, they are both twenty this year. They learned Taoism from their master at the age of seven. They were only fourteen when the master left. They are indeed our senior sisters.
"Zhang Tianyi pays homage to the two senior sisters." Heizi saluted, and I couldn't lose my etiquette.
"Haha, be good, two junior brothers." Haitang smiled broadly.
"I wonder if the two senior sisters got any true information from the master?" This guy, Heizi, turned out to be here for this.
"Taoist secrets are passed down orally, so don't think about any secret techniques." I spoke to break Heizi's reverie.
"You don't seem to know anything." Mudan tilted her head and looked at Heizi.
"Who said that? I can, why not?" Heizi suddenly panicked.
"Haha, it's great to be young..." The teacher's wife dropped these words and turned to leave.
"Okay, let's fight." Mudan said and smiled at Haitang.
"Brother, should we call Uncle Qiu?" Heizi immediately rolled his eyes and pulled me aside.
"Yes, he was worried." I cooperated with a smile.
"Haha, junior brother is a coward." Haitang and Peony's voices sounded behind us.
Heizi lowered his head and pulled me away quickly, his whole face reddened.
"No, you must teach me some Taoism, otherwise I won't be able to meet people in the future." Heizi said excitedly as soon as he returned to the house.
"It's not like you don't know my level. Besides, didn't we come back to make a phone call?" I looked at Heizi with a smile.
"Okay, let's call first." Heizi frowned and opened his backpack.
Qiu Sheng was so excited that he couldn't speak for a long time after receiving the call. He didn't even dare to ask about the situation of the two brothers.
When he learned that we had rescued the man and killed the witch and Gu master by the way, Qiu Sheng, who had always been strong, cried "Wow".
"There must be someone behind the witch and Gu master. You should be careful." After calming down, Qiu Sheng first considered safety issues.
"That's right, there must be someone behind that witch and Gu master controlling corpses and transporting poison." Heizi also frowned.
"What's the matter? Should we go abroad to investigate?" The base camp of the witch and Gu master is obviously not that broken cave. The clan leader said that the witch and Gu master is not a native of the country.
"This matter is beyond your capabilities. Just come back as soon as possible. Leave the human affairs to me." Qiu Sheng said in a serious tone.
"Okay, the two brothers still need to practice. We will contact you when we can leave." I won't be brave if I should not volunteer.
After hanging up the phone, Heizi and I analyzed it carefully. What Qiu Sheng was investigating was probably something serious.
We just have to deal with evil spirits. Fighting crime is not something we can interfere with.
The two days passed very quickly, but Haitang was rarely seen in these two days, while Mudan took his tribe back to the village.
Qiu Sheng's two brothers were able to walk normally in just two days under the care of the tribe.
We are not worried that they will not be able to walk over the mountains and ridges. After all, we have Wei Yucheng, so it is not difficult to carry two people walking as fast as flying.
The environment in the mountains was harsh, and they were asked to cultivate themselves well because their bodies and bones were too weak at the time, and they were afraid of having any sequelae in the future if they went to the mountains to suffer.
When it was time to return, we came to meet our teacher’s wife as promised.
Heizi kept thinking whether the master's wife had any treasures to give us, which made me start to have fantasies.
But I didn't expect that Peony would also come over, and the three of them stood in front of Master's door.
"Come in." It was Haitang who spoke.
When he pushed the door open and walked in, nothing changed, except that Haitang held the master's wife's hand, looking reluctant to leave.
"Senior sister, are you going on a long trip?" I asked with a smile.
"Before, it was because of the poisonous corpse that she didn't want to leave. Now that the poisonous corpse has been eliminated, and they are old enough, it's time to go out and have a try." Haitang said nothing, and the wife looked at me with a smile.
