Wei Shiqi waited for three to five days at Xianyun Peak, and finally received the expected news. Pingyuan sent his disciples Shang Jiannan and Deng Xie to come to pay homage to the mountain with a letter from the headmaster, inviting Deng Yuantong, the acting headmaster of Xiandu, to move to the mountain. Qian Renfeng met and discussed the matter of combining the efforts of various factions to clear the Guimenyuan.
"Combining the efforts of all the sects to clear the Ghost Gate Abyss" is false, but it is true to find out the cause of Qi Du's death. However, Qi Du's body and his sword pouch and storage bag have fallen into the Ghost Gate Abyss. Do they dare to go down? Wei Shiqi secretly sneered. The attitude of the Pingyuan Sect was already very clear. They kept it secret and investigated secretly. However, these matters had nothing to do with him. With Lu Wei as an insider, it was not his turn to worry about it.
He was thinking that there were still a few things to be done - the three-eyed civet seedling was seeking help from his junior sister, and they were mutually beneficial. They were currently peaceful, but it was a hidden danger after all, and he had to find a way to solve it; smelting Horcruxes requires a large amount of demonic elixirs and souls. , if we don’t plan early, we are afraid that things will come to a head and we will not be able to take advantage of this or that. Tianlang Guo Kui hurriedly put down a sentence, what does it mean to forcefully open the acupuncture points in the Danxing meridians, and he has not bothered to understand it carefully. ——It’s just that Qingming Feijian sent a letter to the immortal capital without any explanation, urging him to go to Tonglu Town immediately. He had no choice but to put aside what he was doing, bid farewell to Deng Yuantong and Lu Wei, and left Xianyun Peak.
Qin Zhen sent him all the way to Tiandu Peak's Kuji Spring. She did not pester her senior brother, nor did she pretend to be happy. She calmly watched him fly away with his sword. The senior brother had not forgotten her. She was not strong enough and could only look at his back and continue to chase him. But this time, she suddenly gained confidence.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Wei Shiqi felt that there was some resoluteness and sharpness in his younger sister's eyebrows that he didn't have before, which reminded him of the first time he met Yu Yao in Changyingguan.
Qin Zhen was not the only one watching him leave from a distance. In the col of the mountain behind Xianyun Peak, there was another thin figure, looking up at the blue sword light, transfixed. The man she called "Brother Wei" came to Xianyun Peak but didn't come to see him. He just came to see the junior sister, not her.
When I came to Tonglu Town again, it coincided with the winter solstice, when earthworms were knotted, beetles were untied, water springs were flowing, new clothes were bought, meals were prepared, ancestors were worshiped, dumplings were eaten, and mutton soup was drunk. Qingming and Chongmingniao feasted and drank in the restaurant. After this meal and this night, they were about to leave for Liushi Peak.
Wei Shiqi drank two bowls of mutton soup, feeling warm and appetizing in his stomach. He didn't touch the dumplings, but picked out the beef and mutton, wolfed down a lot of it, drank a pot of hot wine, and sighed, feeling satisfied.
Qingming held a boiled lamb's hoof in his hand, chewed it slowly, and said vaguely: "Alas, the good days are over..." Chongming Bird felt the same way, put down the greasy roasted lamb leg, and sighed deeply.
"Why do you want to turn back to Flowing Stone Peak all of a sudden?"
Qingming shook his head in frustration, "The leader has spoken and asked me to go back. I was still thinking of staying there for a year and a half and having fun, but it all came to nothing."
"What's the emergency?"
"What's the emergency? It's just that the end of the year is coming. The old rules are gambling."
Staying up late on New Year's Eve and gambling for pleasure are common customs in the world. It was the first time Wei Shiqi heard that there was also the habit of gambling on Liushi Peak, but from Qingming's tone, this gambling game was not that simple. He tentatively asked a few questions, and Qingming murmured: "You will know by then, and I guess you also have a share... His grandma's, others are always the ones watching, and I am the one who is busy, and I don't have a share in the good things... ..." He swore and took a bite of the sheep's hoof.
Wei Shiqi subconsciously glanced at Chongmingniao, who shook his head like a rattle, indicating that he knew nothing.
The winter solstice is as big as the New Year. Some eat, eat all night, and eat nothing, and freeze all night. The three of them are full of wine and food, eat until late, and wander around the cold streets. The huge town is empty, and every household is in the house. Drinking wine to keep warm, there are few idle people in the streets and alleys, even the beggars are looking for a place to eat, drink and gamble.
Qingming stretched out his muscles, squinted his eyes at the Chongming Bird, and said, "Are you coming back to Shifeng with us, or do you have other plans?"
Chongmingniao broke out in a cold sweat, hunched his waist and said, "It depends on the master's instructions."
Qingming thought for a while and said casually: "You made a big mistake this time. You will suffer a lot when you return to Shifeng. If you don't go back, hehe, I'm afraid you won't even be able to save your life. Why don't you follow me and become a demon servant?" I will guard the cave."
Chongmingniao was overjoyed when she heard this. She had seen the power of Qingming. She knocked Tianlang down with three punches and two kicks. What a thick thigh it was. Why should she be worried after it hugged her! She agreed repeatedly: "Yes, I am willing to guard the cave for the master, ride on the front and back of the horse, serve as a mount, do rough work, open roads in the mountains, build bridges in the water..."
Wei Shiqi smiled slightly after hearing this. I don't know where she heard these mantras. She kept mumbling them all day long.
Qingming nodded with satisfaction and said, "The wolf's name was Guo Kui. The vine demon in Chixia Valley seems to be called Yuan Henry Zhen. They all sound good. Do you have a name?"
Chongming Bird was so blessed that he bent down and said, "Master, please give me a name that is easy to address."
Qingming laughed a few times, pondered for a moment with his hands behind his back, turned around and said to Wei Shiqi: "Come and get one, it must be catchy and not make people laugh!"
"How about calling me Chongjiu?"
"Chongjiu...Chongjiu...not bad!" Qingming nodded. He was the Taoist boy next to the sect leader. He only had a nickname. If the demon servants under the sect had a name, wouldn't they be overshadowed by the name "Chongjiu"? Okay, just what he wanted!
The three of them were chatting and laughing, and unknowingly arrived at the Ximing River, where they saw a gorgeous painting boat moored on the shore. It had two floors, brightly lit, and faint laughter could be heard. Qingming suddenly became interested, pointed at the boat and said: "Let's go up and have a look!"
Wei Shiqi looked up and saw a lantern holding a lantern on one corner of the boat, with the three characters "Flowers Full of Flowers" written on it. It was upright, and seemed to be burning with the candlelight swaying.
