"Actually, I was able to jump yesterday, but my mother didn't believe Master Lei's diagnosis. She cried and asked my father to lie down for a few more days, which made Master Lei very angry." Cai Zhao covered his mouth and chuckled.
"Xiao Feng has never liked to listen to doctors since he was a child." Qi Yunke smiled, "Zhaozhao, you deserve the most credit for your father and I being saved so quickly this time. It's pitiful that you are so young and have only been a disciple for less than a month. I have to run around and endure hardships. If Pingshu finds out, he will definitely shout, 'This master is a big trap, run away quickly'..."
Fan Xingjia laughed out loud first, and Cai Zhao also laughed: "Master is really like me, this is what my aunt would say."
The three masters and apprentices chatted and joked for a while, and suddenly heard a report from a disciple outside that Song Shijun and Zhou Zhizhen had arrived.
Qi Yunke saw that they had something to say, so he asked Cai Zhao and Fan Xing to leave. Unexpectedly, Song Shijun stopped Cai Zhao. Qi Yunke immediately understood that they wanted to ask Cai Zhao.
After Fan Xing's family retreated, Song Shijun couldn't wait to ask: "Zhao Zhao, you said in Yaolu a few days ago that the disciple of the Qianmian Sect is dead. Is this true?"
Cai Zhao didn't make a sound and said smoothly: "Of course it's true. The Demon Cult didn't believe him at all and gave him control medicine. After I took him down the mountain, he became poisonous not long after that. I was too late to bring him back. Since there was no antidote, of course he died."
"This is a good move of the Demon Cult." Qi Yunke said, "It's better to die. It will save you troubles again. Shi Jun, don't think too much about it. Besides, the saliva of the Snow Scale Dragon Beast brought back by Zhao Zhao this time will be very useful to Yu." It’s quite helpful, can you say thank you?”
Song Shijun snorted dissatisfiedly, "What's the point of saying thank you? When I go back this time, I will pick two treasures and send them to Zhaozhao, which will be called a true 'thank you'."
Cai Zhao liked hearing this and said happily: "Thank you very much, Master Song. It's a pity that there isn't much saliva left, otherwise the third senior brother might be able to recover his full power."
Song Shijun's face was full of worry, he shook his head and said: "That little saliva is enough to warm Yu Zhi's meridians. In fact, the Snow Scale Dragon's animal nature is cold, and the Yu Zhi is filled with the cold air of the netherworld that is extremely yin and cold. No matter how much it is, it is useless. That's it. I don’t know how your aunt treated Shi Laoer back then. Even your parents don’t know what happened. Yunke, you have been with Cai Pingshu for the longest time. If you think about it again, maybe you can figure it out. Get up."
Qi Yunke smiled bitterly: "I happened to be away when Brother Shi's accident happened. I really didn't know."
Song Shijun was helpless. He looked back at Zhou Zhizhen and said, "Hey, why don't you speak."
Zhou Zhizhen looked solemn, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Zhaozhao, have you really not gone to the Snowy Mountains in the Far North?"
"Of course I didn't go." Cai Zhao confessed with a pure expression, "The saliva of the Snow Scale Dragon Beast I brought was obtained from the disciple of the Thousand Faces Sect. Because the saliva is the nemesis of the body-changing method, the disciples of the Thousand Faces Sect In order to be wary of each other, we have always kept secret collections. This time I brought all the Thousand Faces Sect's collections over the years."
"This makes sense." Song Shijun said, "The more thieves are, the more they have to guard against each other. The body-changing method is very evil. Unless the person dies, it will be seamless. Besides, the Far North The Snowy Mountains are so far away. Even if Zhaozhao works hard, it will take months to go back and forth. How can we turn around in just a few days?"
Zhou Zhizhen sighed: "I'm not suspicious of Zhaozhao's words, but...well, I'm afraid something happened to Zhiqin in the Snowy Mountains."
When he said this, the other three people were shocked. It's just that two of them were real shocks and one was a fake shock.
Zhou Zhizhen said: "Last year, Zhiqin's son Yulin died away from home. Zhiqin refused to say where it happened. Soon he and Dongfang Xiao went on a long trip, saying they were going to relax, even on the 200th anniversary of his ancestor's death. not coming."
"I think he lost his beloved son and couldn't bear to say anything. It wasn't until Zhixian and I were attacked on the way back. The elders in the clan rushed to find Zhiqin to come back to protect the village and asked the old servants of the Dongfang family that they found out. They may be going to the snowy mountains in the far north.”
"So what?" Song Shijun was puzzled.
"In the past, Zhiqin would fly pigeons every month to report that he was safe, but there has been no news this month." Zhou Zhizhen frowned, "If my guess is correct, Yulin was also buried in the snowy mountains, otherwise why would Zhiqin have to go on the road? Go all the way there.”
Qi Yunke comforted him and said, "They say the snowy mountains are dangerous. Just wait a little longer. Maybe brother Zhiqin has been blocked by the wind and snow and won't be able to send back any news for a while."
Zhou Zhizhen nodded.
Cai Zhao lowered his head calmly, feeling secretly happy in his heart.
She had thought about it on the way back from the Snowy Mountains. In order to protect Chiyuki Miyuki-onna and the five cubs, the less people knew about the situation in the Snowy Mountains, the better. It's a pity that the true identity of Zhou Zhiqin and others cannot be revealed, but each of them died more miserably than the other, which can be regarded as avenging the Tao family.
After exiting Qi Yunke's room, he happened to meet Ding Zhuo walking towards him. Cai Zhao said hello and wanted to leave, but Ding Zhuo stopped her and proposed the martial arts competition again.
Cai Zhao had a headache: "There's still more competition." Don't you already know what I'm capable of?
Ding Zhuo looked serious: "The purpose of the competition is to compare skills and increase each other's knowledge, not to fight over who wins and who loses. As long as it is an honest competition, winning or losing does not matter. According to legend, the founder of Qingfeng Temple and Fantianzhangfeng That competition in the sudden cold..."
"Okay, okay, senior brother, stop reading. I agree." Cai Zhao said repeatedly.
So the two agreed to compete in half a month.
After another four or five days, Cai Pingchun fully recovered. Lei Xiuming threatened Ning Xiaofeng that if she dared to question his diagnosis, she would add ingredients to Cai Pingchun's decoction, really telling him to "lay down".
In order to prevent another accident, this time Zhou Zhizhen insisted on personally escorting the three members of the Cai family back to Luoying Valley, along with a dozen monks sent by Changchun Temple to help Zen Master Juexing. They thought they would be safe on the way.
When they were leaving, Cai Han looked like a little old man with a sad face. Cai Zhao asked him why, and he had a chubby face: "My mother said that my aunt had the foresight to force my sister to practice Kungfu. Now it seems that the benefits are endless. This time When I go back, I will step up my supervision to practice my martial arts."
Cai Zhao smiled and said: "Practice is a bit hard, but it's a good thing that I don't have to be a vegetarian in the future."
Cai Han looked sad and angry: "Sister, I don't know, but grandma suddenly realized it. She gave me delicious food every day this time. In fact, it's good to stay in the Ning family. It's all because of the demon sect's troubles, which will make my life miserable in the future. ——From now on, I will be at odds with the Demonic Cult!"
Cai Zhao: "...Okay."
The next day, Song Shijun was also leaving. Before leaving, he held his son and kept talking, repeating over and over again, 'If you can't fully recover, go back to Guangtianmen and let your father support you for the rest of your life.'
Song Yuzhi threw away his father's hand with an expressionless expression, "My son's skills are only damaged, not that he has become a cripple. Father, let's spend more time in the sun and think more about good things."
In the next few days, the world was calm and peaceful, and the time in the sect was peaceful.
Cai Zhao finally moved back to Chunling Xiaozhu. As Qi Yunke promised, the place was comfortable and the scenery was pleasant. However, she was still too lazy to cheer up. She forgot to add ginger slices when steaming scallion seabass in the kitchen. He actually ate it silently.
Fan Xing's family asked her why she was so dumb, and she replied: "I'm not worried."
"What are you worried about? What are you worried about?" Fan Xingjia didn't understand.
Cai Zhaodao: "There was a little fluffy duck. It looked good but had a bad temper. I took care of it for a while, but one day I discovered that it was not actually a duck, but a big white goose with its nostrils turned upward. A white goose is white. Goose, he still insists on going out to explore the world. Alas, I don't worry about it, what if he has someone roast it and eat it."
Fan Xingjia thought for a moment and thought he had figured it out. He was shocked and said, "It's not your idea to hit Uncle Lei's ducks. Don't do it! If you want to eat ducks, ask someone to go down the mountain to buy them. If you touch Uncle Lei, Duck, he will fight you tooth and nail!"
Cai Zhao was speechless, patted Fan Xing's house, sighed and walked away.
On this day, she sat in the empty quiet room for a while again, and the arguments and laughter not long ago seemed to still echo in the room.
She finally figured it out, so she cheered up and went straight to Chunling's small building with her skirt flying, but she saw the maids standing in the corridor, all of them pink-faced and shy.
She walked over and took a look and saw Song Yuzhi standing in her yard with his hands behind his back.
Inviting the handsome third senior brother into the room, Cai Zhao served tea in person. Unexpectedly, Song Yuzhi unexpectedly said, "Junior sister Zhao Zhao is in much better spirits today. Have you finally made up your mind to go to the Demon Cult?"
Cai Zhao almost banged his head on the table, quickly got up, closed the window and door, and pulled Song Yuzhi to the back room to talk.
"Third Senior Brother, be careful." She said seriously, "A disciple from a well-known and upright family, why should he go to the Demon Sect in a good manner?"
Song Yuzhi looked at her indifferently, "Junior sister Zhaozhao may not know that the world has been quiet these days, but the Demon Sect has been making a lot of noise. Branches in various places are calling back their manpower. This posture should be that of Netherworld Huangdao. problem occurs."
Cai Zhao's heart tightened.
Song Yuzhi continued: "I heard my mother say it when I was a child. In fact, most of the demon sect leaders before Nie Hengcheng were named Mu. However, Nie Hengcheng was too powerful and had been in charge of the demon sect for too long, so people gradually forgot about it. Chang Ning, is Mu. I’m a son of the family.”
Cai Zhao was silent for a long time before nodding, "This time I went down the mountain to look for the saliva of the Snow Scale Dragon Beast. He helped me a lot and saved my life. If everything goes well for him, then forget it. If he fails, After all, I have to repay his kindness at least."
She raised her head and said, "Third Senior Brother, do you want to stop me?"
Song Yuzhi shook his head: "I want to go with you."
"???" Cai Zhao was stunned, never expecting to hear this, "You...what are you going to do? Well, Third Brother, don't worry about me, I can protect myself."
Song Yuzhi showed a hint of self-mockery: "Now I only have four to five successes left, so how dare I say anything to protect others." He paused, "I want to go to Chang Ning because I want to borrow something from him."
"what?"
"Purple jade golden sunflower."
Cai Zhao was confused: "What is this? I have never heard of it."
Song Yuzhi said: "This is a demon sect treasure. It is said to have been passed down from ancestor Beichen's time. It has the effect of calming the mind and calming the energy, and can prevent people from going crazy when practicing."
"What does Third Senior Brother want to do with this?" Cai Zhao was still at a loss, "My aunt said that people who go crazy when practicing are mostly due to insufficient cultivation, incomplete understanding, or other similar problems. In short, they are all due to their own shortcomings. Use external forces to prevent yourself from going crazy. Even if you master kung fu, there will be troubles later. Relying on your own cultivation is safe and reliable. "
Song Yuzhi's upright eyebrows raised slightly, "That's a good thing to say. Aunt Ling's insights are indeed extraordinary. But I don't use the Purple Jade Sunflower to practice martial arts, but to heal my wounds."
Cai Zhao finally understood, "Can Purple Jade Golden Sunflower help Third Senior Brother recover his skills?"
"good."
"Brother, why are you so sure?"
"Yes. Because your aunt used the purple jade golden sunflower to restore Shi Erxia's skills."
"..." Cai Zhao was dumbfounded and said after a long time: "No, I don't even know this. How did you know about it?"
Song Yuzhi said: "There is an elder in my family who was forced to recover after being hit by the cold energy of the netherworld. Not long after, he went crazy and passed away. However, Shi Erxia lived well until the Tushan War. After Nie Hengcheng's death, the two brothers went to live in seclusion. .”
"These days, I have checked all the files from twenty years ago - after Shi Erxia was struck by the cold air of the netherworld that year, Cai Nvxia took him to the Qingque Sect for help. However, everyone in the sect was helpless, so Cai Nvxia The female hero took Shi Erxia away again. Unexpectedly, just two months later, Shi Erxia recovered his skills and participated in the battle to encircle and suppress Elder Tianji Duan Jiuxiu."
"I carefully checked what happened in the Jianghu in those two months, and there was still a constant battle between the good and the evil factions, and there was nothing abnormal. However, after I asked Master Li about it, he remembered one thing - that time, Uncle Wang Dingchuan caught Several members of the Demon Cult who tried to touch Jiuli Mountain found out after interrogation that they were the guards of the Demon Cult's treasure pavilion. Because Cai Nuxia had recently stolen the Demon Cult's treasure Purple Jade Golden Sunflower, they had to find it in Nie Heng City. You must recover the treasure within 10 seconds, otherwise you will be taken to the God-Eating Platform."
"Calculating the time, Lady Cai won the treasure not long after she left with Erxia Shi."
"...What happened next?" Cai Zhao asked.
Song Yuzhi said: "There will be no future."
"Is this going to end?" Cai Zhao didn't believe it.
"How is it possible?" Song Yuzhi said, "At that time, Nie Hengcheng was at its peak, and the demon sect's treasures were taken away by Cai Nuxia without anyone noticing. How could he bear this breath? However, after that, the demon sect did not continue to pursue it, and no one continued to pursue it. Find Cai Nvxia. If my guess is correct, after Shi Erxia recovered, Cai Nvxia returned the purple jade golden sunflower, and Nie Hengcheng didn't notice it at all."
Cai Zhao felt strange: "Even if Nie Hengcheng didn't notice it, didn't anyone mention it?"
Song Yuzhi's solemn and heroic face revealed a hint of subtlety, "...because it was related to Lady Cai, Master Wang Dingchuan did not tell Old Sect Master Yin or others, and the matter was settled like this."
"Oh." Cai Zhao held the tea bowl and seemed to understand.
Song Yuzhi said: "Nvxia Cai is an upright person and acts brightly. Even if it is a demon sect, it is estimated that Nvxia Cai is not willing to take other people's treasures as her own. When she uses up the purple jade golden sunflower, there is a high chance that she will return it."
Cai Zhao nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that's what my aunt is."
"So, I want to go to the Demon Sect and ask Mr. Mu to borrow the purple jade sunflower." Song Yuzhi frowned slightly, "I hope Mr. Mu is willing to lend it."
"Yes, of course he should be willing." Cai Zhao said hurriedly, "He ate your Snow Lotus Pill, so he owes you a favor."
"Actually, showing kindness to others is not the right thing to do." Song Yuzhi raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes dimmed, and his expression was melancholy, just like the bright moon hanging in the sky falling into the blue waves of the deep pool, cold and calm, so beautiful that it makes people's hearts beat wildly.
Cai Zhao pressed his heart and tried his best to persuade: "You don't need to be too concerned about face when traveling in the world. The most important thing is to recover your skills. Put everything else aside first. Uh, but let's go on the road together, okay?"
Song Yuzhi raised his eyebrows, no longer melancholy at all, and said calmly: "Do you know how to get to the Netherworld Huangdao?"
Cai Zhao immediately became speechless.
"Could it be that you want to find someone on the street to ask for directions?" Song Yuzhi asked again.
Cai Zhao looked towards the roof——
"Uncle, do you know which direction the Demon Cult Headquarters is?"
"Auntie, I want to ask you, how to get to Netherworld Huangdao? You-ming-huang-dao-did you hear it clearly? It's 'Netherworld', not 'oil cake'..."
The picture was so beautiful that she had a heart attack.
Song Yuzhi took out a small scroll from his sleeve and spread it out for Cai Zhao to see, "This is the route map I drew after checking the files. It can avoid many sneaky caves along the way."
Cai Zhao:......
Song Yuzhi randomly took out a few banknotes embossed with gold thread from his arms, "Don't worry about the money."
Cai Zhao:......
