The three of them hurriedly exited the Yin Yang Ridge Stone Monument and found a sheltered mountain col to rest.
The red-eyed snake's head was still biting Qi Du's shoulder, refusing to let go. Qin Zhen used the red-scale sword to carefully cut open the snake's head, only to see that the fangs penetrated deeply into the flesh and blood, and blood oozed out, staining his clothes red. She pulled out the canines one by one and sprinkled the elixir into the wound, which stopped the bleeding immediately.
Qi Du gritted his teeth and said, "The red-eyed snake is not poisonous. It's just a flesh wound, so it's nothing to worry about."
He lost a lot of blood, the chill came over him, and his teeth chattered. Wei Shiqi went to the nearby place to pick up some branches and lit a bonfire. Qi Du sat by the fire and squinted his eyes for a long time before he felt relieved. .
As the dusk grew darker, Wei Shiqi asked his junior sister to borrow the Red Scale Sword, chopped the snake meat into pieces, skewered it with branches, and roasted it on the fire. After a while, the aroma filled the air, and the grease dripped into the fire. The squeaking sound makes people move their index fingers.
Wei Shiqi handed the roasted snake meat to Qi Du, who was so hungry that he reached out to take it, took a big bite, chewed a few times, straightened his neck and swallowed it, and in a moment he had a large piece Eat all the snake meat. With food in his belly and his body warming up, he sighed and thanked stiffly: "Thank you both for your help."
Qin Zhen stood up in a hurry, not even daring to say that Qi Du was the same generation as Xi Huzi. When her master Wei Rongniang met her, she had to respectfully call her uncle. How could she dare to take credit and be arrogant.
Wei Shiqi said: "Uncle, you're welcome."
Qi Du glanced at him and asked, "Aren't you with Qingming? Why did you come to Guimenyuan?"
"I finally went down the mountain during the Qingming Festival and went to play in the town. I took a leave of absence and took the time to go up to Xianyun Peak to visit my classmates. It just so happened that my junior sister mentioned that the three-eyed civets were haunting the Yin Yang Ridge area, so I came to take a look. Does your junior uncle know? The body that the three-eyed civet took over was originally the niece of Master Xi?"
Qi Du remembered that old incident, nodded and said: "I heard that many trial disciples were killed in Xiandu Peak back then. It was probably the three-eyed civet who did it. After so many years, have you still not caught her?"
Wei Shiqi smiled bitterly and said: "It's easier said than done. The three-eyed civet is proficient in a weird magic. It can control the blood film to wrap the flying sword, and it can cut off the induction between the Tao embryo and the sword. It is impossible to guard against it. Ordinary swordsmen are no match for her. , Headmaster Xi personally took action, but failed to keep her."
Qi Du was startled for a moment, his expression changed, and he was obviously very concerned about the three-eyed civet's blood film magic. Qin Zhen was surprised. She didn't know why her senior brother leaked Miao Zi's trump card to Qi Du. Was it out of good intentions or had other plans? She lowered her eyebrows and didn't dare to raise her head, for fear that Qi Du might notice something and ruin her senior brother's arrangement.
"Uncle Qi, I heard..." Wei Shiqi hesitated for a moment, lowered his voice, and picked up the snake meat and stuffed it into his mouth.
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Qi Du hummed: "If you have anything to ask, just say it, a real man, don't hesitate!"
Wei Shiqi hesitated for a moment and said: "Now that I have left the Immortal Capital, I shouldn't ask any more questions, but... I heard that the headmaster Xi and his uncle had a very unpleasant quarrel over the involution of the Soul Capturing Art... …”
Qi Du rolled his eyes and looked at him coldly, "Did Xi Huzi tell you that?"
"No, I heard it from Senior Brother Deng occasionally." Wei Shiqi looked a little embarrassed. He subconsciously tore off a strand of burnt snake meat and rubbed it a few times, as if to cover up his gaffe.
"Deng Yuantong? What did he say?"
Wei Shiqi hesitated and said: "Well...it is said that Master Xi and his uncle discovered an abandoned cave, which contained the inner scroll of the Soul Capturing Art. The uncle... secretly launched a sneak attack, but was defeated by Master Xi and only grabbed the scroll. The last few pages contain the method of smelting Horcruxes..."
"You want to know the truth? No, you want the method of smelting Horcruxes? Or did Deng Yuantong order you to ask for it?" Qi Du was also a smart man, and he guessed his thoughts after thinking several times.
Wei Shiqi took out the bent iron rod from his sword pouch and said: "That day when I fought against Tianlang Guo Kui in Jie Tian Ridge, I ended up like this with just one blow. Senior Brother Deng said that if you can refine the iron rod, As a Horcrux, it absorbs several souls and doubles its power. I was thinking about this and happened to meet my uncle...that's what it meant..."
This means that he happened to save Qi Du, and he hoped that Qi Du would give him the incomplete pages of the soul-sucking art as a thank you.
Qin Zhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. When did his senior brother become such a philistine? He talks about deals with his elders. He can't speak out! She wrung her hands together, pursed her mouth and lowered her head. This time, it was not that she was afraid that Qi might see the clues, but that she really couldn't lift her head.
Qi Du chuckled and said, "You are very straightforward - okay, it doesn't matter if I give it to you, but you can ask Deng Yuantong to record a copy of the inner volume of Soul Capturing Art and bring it over in exchange. It will be a thank you to you two for helping me!"
"Thank you, Uncle Master!" Wei Shiqi looked happy, paused, and then said, "Uncle Master, I heard that you fought with Master Xi and got hit by his sword energy. Later, you went to Laoya Ridge to collect medicine, and you were killed by a Enemies came to our door and killed each other in a fierce battle. Is this possible?"
Qi Du chuckled and said, "If there is such a thing or not, what does it have to do with you?"
"Uncle Master, I don't know, but I was born as a hunter. Nineteen years ago, I was hunting in Laoya Ridge. I saw an immortal flying through the air from a distance, staggering and falling on the cliff. The mountain collapsed and the ground cracked, and the rocks were broken. Flying around, I braved up and climbed up the cliff, only to see a deep pit, a few splashes of dried black blood, and a faint blue sword pill, but was it accidentally left behind by my uncle?" As he said, Wei Shiqi held the sword pill in his hand and respectfully presented it to Qi Du.
Qin Zhen raised her head slightly, with a trace of doubt in her eyes. She had seen this sword pill with her own eyes. It was obviously made from the Zangxue Sword. Why was it said that it was accidentally left behind by Qi Bu? Senior brother... what on earth does he want to do? As if she realized something, her heart was beating so hard that it almost burst out of her chest.
Qi Du's eyes were attracted by Jianwan and did not notice her. He gently picked up Jianwan with three fingers, frowned and looked at it carefully, and said: "This is not my thing..." Before he finished speaking, Zangxue The sword appeared from the sky, passed through the center of Qi Du's eyebrows, and the blade whirled, cutting off one of his six-yang heads.
The head rolled down into the remaining snow, and Qi Du died with his eyes closed.
