In the blink of an eye, it was mid-night, and Qi Yunhe seemed to still have some unfinished thoughts, leaving Wei Shiqi alone.
The moon was sparse, the wind was surging, and everyone dispersed. Only Qi and Wei, masters and apprentices, were left beside the Crescent Lake, relatively speechless.
Moonlight and starlight are reflected in the water, shaking. Qi Yunhe smiled slyly, his eyes turned waxy yellow, and his pupils were like vertical lines. He opened his mouth, showing his sharp teeth, and asked sinisterly: "My good disciple, how did you tell that... grandma is not Qi Yunhe himself?"
Grandma! Wei Shiqi's heart sank and his mouth felt bitter. Countless thoughts passed through his mind in an instant, but they all disappeared without a trace. He listened to his pounding heartbeat and said: "You just took two steps, that... was swaying, and you looked completely different from usual."
"Swaying in various ways, haha, it turns out that you are a careful person -" Qi Yunhe glanced at him with a fierce look in his eyes, "Aren't you afraid? Aren't you afraid that grandma will eat you?" As he said this, he spat out another His long and thin tongue licked the corner of his mouth.
Wei Shiqi's heart moved, and he said honestly: "I'm afraid, but it's useless to be afraid. If you want to eat me, I will try my best to resist."
Qi Yunhe laughed, "What an interesting person! Is there anything else I want to say before grandma eats you?"
The originally fuzzy thoughts gradually became clearer, and Wei Qiqi muttered: "You harmed the master, changed into his appearance, and lingered on leaving, either to sneak into the immortal capital to inquire about something, or to hide in the immortal capital to avoid trouble. Xun Ye, the first disciple of the capital master, has taken great care of me. If something happens to me, Master Xun will not give up and will definitely investigate to the end. When the time comes, you will either be exposed or you will escape from Xiandu, no matter what happens. The situation is all contrary to your original intention. If you don’t eat me, I can help you cover it up, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. "
Qi Yunhe looked him up and down, making him feel scared. After a long time, he held up his hands and sighed: "It's fun to deal with smart people!"
"How did grandma see it? I thought there was nothing strange just now. Ordinarily..." Wei Shiqi quickly changed the topic to prevent the other party from changing his mind after careful consideration.
"Nothing strange? The heat of your body, the slowness of your breathing, the trembling of your hands and feet. In grandma's eyes, everything about you is strange."
Wei Shiqi became more and more certain that what was hidden in Qi Yunhe's body was a snake demon. Only snakes could capture the subtle changes in the prey's body temperature, breathing, and movements.
"Open your mouth!"
Wei Shiqi was prepared and opened his mouth without hesitation. Qi Yunhe nodded with satisfaction, and with a flick of his fingers, a soft ball fell into his mouth and slid down his esophagus. It tasted cold and smooth, with a touch of bloody.
"Qi Yunhe took the erysipelas from grandma's grandson. No matter whether he is the murderer or not, he will have to pay for his life. Just stay in your stomach with these erysipelas. Don't worry, as long as the outer membrane is not broken, it will not kill you. Be obedient. "Grandma is in a good mood, so I'll let you go!" Qi Yunhe chuckled twice and left Crescent Lake with a sway.
It was only then that Wei Shiqi breathed a sigh of relief, his vest was dripping with cold sweat, and he didn't move for a long time.
From Populus euphratica to Kunlun Mountain, everything that happened along the way is vividly visible. Grandma should be a snake demon. The little grandson she talks about is the poisonous python that was killed by Qi Du of the Pingyuan sect. For some purpose, grandma sneaked into the Xiandu sect and happened to meet Qi Yunhe and discovered that he Qi Yunhe was poisoned by his grandson's erysipelas and turned into his appearance.
The only thing I couldn't figure out was grandma's purpose of sneaking into Xiandu.
Wei Shiqi let out a long breath, sat down by the pool, took off his shoes and socks, dipped his feet in the cold pool water, and shattered the pool of stars and moon.
He personally tried the power of erysipelas and finally managed to save his life from the gate of hell. Since his grandma put erysipelas in his belly as a threat, he had no fear. It must be extremely difficult to eradicate erysipelas. I am afraid that even the head of Xiandu may not be able to believe it if he personally takes action. save.
In the night, a small figure hesitantly came to the Crescent Lake, called "Senior Brother", sat next to him, and imitated his example of dipping his bare feet in the water. Junior sister's feet are white, small and clean, like a blooming lotus, swinging in the water.
"Why haven't you gone to bed yet?"
"Can't sleep if I can't see the stars."
The British-style stone chamber was like a cage. Qin Zhen did not want to hide in the cave alone. Without the protection of her senior brother, she felt terrified and uneasy. She was used to sleeping in the open at Tiandu Peak, used to the stars hanging over the mountains and the surrounding fields.
The huge Tiandu Peak could not accommodate him to practice peacefully. Wei Shiqi felt upset. He suddenly put his arms around Qin Zhen's waist and pulled her into his arms.
Qin Zhen's whole body was stiff. She didn't know why her senior brother was so rude. She vaguely noticed that something was wrong with him and whispered: "Senior brother, are you okay?"
Wei Shiqi didn't speak or take any further action.
Qin Zhen's body gradually relaxed. She let her senior brother hold her and closed her eyes. Her heart was pounding and her ears were burning. She was a little scared but also a little hopeful. But after a long time, the senior brother did nothing and just held her quietly.
Before she knew it, she fell into a deep sleep.
Wei Shiqi sat and thought for a whole night, and finally made up his mind.
The next morning, Qin Zhen woke up leisurely and found herself lying in the arms of her senior brother. She was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to raise her head. Wei Shiqi stroked her hair and said, "I was a little rude yesterday, I'm sorry."
The senior brother regained his composure, and Qin Zhen felt lost. She gently broke away from his arm and bravely stared into his eyes. Wei Shiqi's eyes were like a bottomless ocean, firm, distant, and lacking in warmth. She lowered her eyes, and the words lingered in her heart for thousands of times, but she could never say them out.
