Zhao Qing frowned and shook his head slightly at his wife, telling her to be silent and go see what was going on.
The night in late spring was still a bit cool, and the air was filled with a fresh smell. However, in Zhao Qing's senses, the air that should have been cool was a little restless. After inhaling the nasal cavity, it became increasingly difficult to calm down physically and mentally.
In all his years in the kitchen, he has never encountered anyone knocking on the door in the middle of the night.
At this moment, he had arrived at the door of the room. After looking back at his wife again, he mobilized his whole body's spiritual energy, pinched out the magic formula with one hand, and Chi Lian Shu was ready to go.
The only thing to be thankful for now is that there is no elixir refining tonight, otherwise, I might not even have the spiritual energy to cast spells.
Crunch…
"who?"
Zhao Qing asked aloud.
"Senior Brother Zhao! It's me, Shen Su from next door." The other party responded quickly, and the voice sounded like a woman.
Shen Su... Shen Su...
Zhao Qing recalled carefully that when the neighbor came to visit some time ago, there seemed to be such a woman.
Thinking of this, he took a long breath.
Damn it, these new colored pens are so annoying!
How could anyone knock on the door in the middle of the night? This T-shaped courtyard is far away from the center of the kitchen. It will take a long time for the outer disciples to arrive. I wonder if this will scare people to death?
Zhao Qing's face was darker than the casserole in the quiet room. He frowned and walked quickly to the door of the courtyard.
"What are you doing? Let's talk about anything tomorrow."
Suddenly, he stopped and felt something strange. He heard the movement outside the door and it seemed like there was another woman?
Could it be that their whole room was here?
Sure enough, several voices were heard the next moment.
First, Shen Ya was stumbling and speechless, and then there was a mixture of surprise and doubt.
"Senior brother! Didn't you hear what happened before? Miao Jian and the others have already gone to invite the outer sect brothers! Something happened!"
Zhao Qing:? ? ?
movement? What's going on?
He pondered for a moment, dispersed the spells in his hands, opened the courtyard door, and let the girls in.
"What did you hear? What happened?" he asked with a frown.
The more articulate female cultivator said anxiously: "There was movement on Shouyun Mountain! At midnight, we asked many people and they all heard it."
"Even the house was shaking, like an earthquake. The roars of various beasts and the sounds of running were particularly obvious."
Zhao Qing looked confused, but looking at everyone's anxious expressions, it didn't look like he was faking it.
Shen Su said: "I think many people heard it, but we did not ask one by one. Miao Jian went to the kitchen to ask for the senior brother on duty. Let us come to senior brother Zhao first and wait for him to come back."
"Most of the disciples in Ding Paiyuan are new disciples, so we can only come to Senior Brother Zhao to ask about the situation.
If this happens often, nothing will happen, but on the contrary..."
Zhao Qing frowned and waved his hand to signal the other party to stop talking.
Then I leaned over and listened to the ground, and I actually heard a faint banging sound. It was getting farther and farther, and I am afraid it was already in the center of Shouyun Mountain. I could hear it from such a distance. It is conceivable that the mountain was already shaking at this moment. The mountain shook.
"Senior brother, have you ever encountered this kind of situation before?"
Zhao Qing frowned and shook his head: "As far as I know, this has never happened before."
Although he had just moved to the foot of Shouyun Mountain, if there were occasional movements like this on Shouyun Mountain, the old handyman who cut firewood would definitely know about it.
And just talking about Shouyun Mountain, he has been in Shouyun Mountain for more than ten years, and he has never encountered any large beast, let alone one that can make such a movement... unless it is a monster beast, a group of monster beasts!
Could it be that something happened deep in Shouyun Mountain?
The girls became even more nervous when they saw Zhao Qing also frowning and looking ugly.
Shen Su's voice was filled with tears, and he was obviously frightened. "Senior brother! If you know anything, just tell me and wait! There was such a big noise just now. Your yard is the closest, so it's impossible not to hear it."
"If something big happens here... we will definitely not survive."
Zhao Qing took a deep breath and didn't make any answer.
He really didn't hear anything. When he was young... the bed did shake, but it was obviously not the sound caused by the monster.
He thought for a moment and said, "Don't scare yourself. Maybe it was caused by someone hunting a monster."
"Hunting monsters?" The girls were obviously doubtful.
"You guys stay in the courtyard for a while and close the door. Forget it, the east wing is empty. You go and stay there and lock the door until the outer door brother arrives!"
Zhao Qing turned around and returned to the bedroom without comment.
"Shu Yue, pack some things that are easy to carry. Let's go to the city for a while first."
The girl was hiding at the door, obviously listening to their conversation just now, and now she asked doubtfully: "Didn't you say that someone was hunting monsters?"
Zhao Qing rolled his eyes.
"Don't lie to yourself. Who would go to Shouyun Mountain to hunt monsters at night? I've been chopping firewood here for many years, and there's nothing wrong with it!"
As he spoke, he took off the amulet from his body and stuck it on his wife's lapel.
Then he took the wooden box under the window coffin, put all the remaining ten Qi Gathering Pills in, stuffed them into Wang Shuyue's arms and said: "Wrap it up in a package, wrap it up with some clothes so that no one can see it, from now on." Just hold it from the beginning. We’ll see how it goes later!”
Wang Shuyue looked at the wooden box in her hand with a complicated expression.
It took him a long time to react and he said doubtfully.
"If that's the case, then why didn't the husband tell them?"
Zhao Qing shook his head slightly.
"It's useless, let's not say whether I can be sure for now. Even if I tell them, it will only make them more nervous. What's the use of a few innate realms? It will only make things more chaotic. Someone has gone to notify the senior brother on duty. Let's check later. What did senior brother say?"
After Zhao Qing finished his instructions, he squeezed the Chi Lian Jue in his hand, walked quickly to the quiet room, gathered all the remaining mundane herbs together, put them in a casserole, and burned them all.
Then he came to the yard with the dark casserole and threw it away.
Bones.
The casserole rolled on the ground, and finally hit the bluestone and broke into many pieces.
"Senior Brother Zhao!?"
When Shen Su heard the movement, he was startled and confused.
"It's okay, it was too dark and the bowl broke."
Two-quarters of an hour later, the wind howled outside, there was a continuous sound of breaking through the air, and the tiles on the wall creaked.
Three senior brothers on duty at the outer sect rushed over quickly and landed in the courtyard.
"What's going on!?"
One of them leaned over and listened, while the other took out a round magic weapon from the storage bag hanging on his waist and began to pour spiritual power into it, as if he wanted to test something.
Wang Teng is also one of them.
He raised his hand and called: "Zhao Qing! What's going on? Please tell me in detail."
Zhao Qing was silent for a moment, then took Shen Su's arm and pushed her in front of Wang Teng.
"Junior Sister Shen, tell Senior Brother Wang everything you know."
Wang Teng glanced at Zhao Qing doubtfully, but didn't say anything. Instead, he listened to the stories of several female cultivators, verified each other, and then recorded them.
Afterwards, the three senior brothers on duty went to several other yards to check the situation. Finally, they met and began to communicate privately. Zhao Qing saw their expressions clearly from a distance and realized that something was really wrong.
But now, he didn't care about what happened in the mountains, it was nothing more than earthquakes, waves of monsters, or fights between high-level monks.
Zhao Qing approached, raised his hands and saluted: "Senior Brother Wang, Shuyue is not feeling well, can I take her down the mountain?"
Wang Teng turned around and wondered: "Shu Yue? Who is it?"
"My wife, you came to have a wedding drink." Zhao Qing apologized with an embarrassed smile.
Wang Teng gave Zhao Qing a meaningful look, then walked closer and whispered: "Xiao Qing, I understand your concerns. The sect will protect your safety. The city is not necessarily better than here."
Yes, the city is not necessarily stronger, but it is further away from Shouyun Mountain.
He secretly glanced at the outer sect brother holding the disk, and his eyebrows were almost knitted together at this moment...
"Brother, you misunderstood. We are just going down the mountain to seek medical treatment, and we will not delay chopping firewood."
Wang Teng sighed slightly, patted his shoulder and said nothing.
Zhao Qing understood and left with Wang Shuyue overnight.
For a person who works on Shouyun Mountain every day, he deeply understands what this means. There is no need to chop wood for the time being.
Maybe this change is nothing to the Danxia Sect, but for the nearest handyman on the third level of Qi Refining, one mistake can be a disaster.
"Farewell!"
