Wei Shiqi pinched her chin, raised her face, wiped the tears at the corners of her eyes with his thumb, remained silent for a moment, and asked: "...you want to come with me?"

"Well..." Qin Zhen sniffed, with a cry in her voice, "If I don't go with you, where can I go?"

"I originally planned to leave Dongming City to you...forget it, let's not talk about this. What did you plan?"

Qin Zhen let him hold her chin, raised her head, and said, "Since the soul can travel through the torrent of time and follow you to the upper world, then I will simply give up my body and become a ghost cultivator. I have memorized the skills left by the founder of Yinhuodong, but the Yinhuo Spring has dried up and I don’t know how to transform into a physical body, so I haven’t practiced it yet. I originally planned to... originally planned to..."

"I originally planned to kill first and then show off, and then we'll talk about it after practicing?"

Qin Zhen was a little embarrassed and said flatteringly: "I have thought about it, just thinking about it. I have to tell you about such a big thing first...right?"

Wei Shiqi stroked her smooth face, his heart trembled slightly, and said: "The pain of turning into bones is not trivial, can you bear it?"

"If you don't try, you will never give up."

"I really want to try it

"Sincere."

"Okay, let me think of a solution."

Qin Zhen was stunned for a moment, "You don't want to persuade me anymore? Aren't you going to leave Dongming City to me?"

"As long as you are happy, it doesn't matter who you leave Dongming City to. But if you give up your body and only keep your soul, it will be troublesome after all. For ghost cultivators to be able to reshape their bodies, it does not happen overnight..."

Qin Zhen pursed her lips and smiled, her heart almost bursting. This was the opportunity she had worked so hard to fight for. She could continue to stay with her senior brother and never leave him. She didn't have to worry that "ascension" would forcibly separate them and make them suffer. What the heck. This is the senior brother she knows well - it's not that he doesn't like her or care about her, he just doesn't impose his likes and dislikes on others. He has no good or evil, no right or wrong, no right or wrong. With such a character, he should It’s only right to practice the Chaos Art.

With random thoughts in her mind, Qin Zhen's eyes were bright. She finally let go of what she had been worried about for a long time. She gradually calmed down and offered to have a drink with her senior brother to celebrate, just the two of them.

"This barren mountain and wilderness..." Wei Shiqi muttered, and with a thought in his heart, he held her waist and jumped into the air, and flew away. Suddenly he came to Scarlet Star City, and without being picky, he casually walked into a restaurant that had not yet closed. Wine shop.

Business routes were cut off, food prices skyrocketed, and there was turmoil in Red Star City. The business of the wine shop was not good, and it was deserted, without a single customer. The shopkeeper's surname is Tian. He just dismissed the cook and waiters not long ago. He thinks he won't be able to hold on for a few more days, so he has to close the business. He is one of the first batch of businessmen to come to Scarlet Star City. From young to strong, from strong to old, he has long regarded this place as his hometown. He has poisonous eyes and looks at a man and a woman who are not ordinary people. He is very careful when he mentions it. , ordered the old lady to go to the kitchen to prepare food and wine. There were not many things, so I spent everything I had, including a large plate of steamed bacon, a large plate of honey-glazed ham, and a large pot of salted fish and tofu soup. The wine was an ordinary village brew, not exquisite, but it had a unique local flavor.

Wei Shiqi was not very picky, and drank with bacon and ham until the glass was dry. Qin Zhen drank five or seven glasses with him, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were filled with a sense of spring. The two of them faced each other and chatted word by word. The past is past and the future is yet to come. Only the present moment is the most worth cherishing.

After a while, shopkeeper Tian offered another jar of village brew, and stood aside, rubbing his hands together, feeling uneasy and hesitating before summoning the courage to ask the immortal master for an explanation as to whether this natural disaster could still be avoided.

Wei Shiqi was noncommittal. Brother Qin Zhen took one look at him and felt pity. He carefully warned him that if there is an opportunity to move to Dongming City in the future, he must not miss it. Shopkeeper Tian was confused and kept these words in his mind, but he never understood how a little mortal could have the opportunity to move into the fairy city.

After all, he was too old to hold back his drowsiness. Before he knew it, Shopkeeper Tian lay down on the counter and took a nap for a while. When he woke up, the two immortal masters were nowhere to be found. There were still empty glasses and plates on the table, and the wine jug was even more empty. There was an ingot of gold left on the counter, reminding him that what happened last night was not a dream.

Shopkeeper Tian washed his face, put away the cups and plates, and brewed a pot of strong tea. Before he could drink even two cups, he suddenly heard a government servant outside the door beating a gong with a loud "dang-dang-dang" sound. They shouted that in order to avoid natural disasters, Dongming City will move to the Central Plains in ten days. If anyone wants to go with them, they can move into the inner city as soon as possible and invite everyone to watch in front of the government office.

Shopkeeper Tian's heart skipped a beat, and he hurried out of the wine shop and hurriedly arrived in front of the eight-character wall of the government office. He arrived quite early and got to the front. There was a brazier burning under the wall, and the fire was blazing, making everything look like daylight. There was a new notice posted on the wall, and the content was basically the same as what the guard said.

The people watching behind him were all talking, and Shopkeeper Tian was listening attentively. Everyone was quite doubtful about the relocation. Natural disasters are prevalent in the Central Plains, and Kunlun Mountain is a fairyland... Dongming is a ghost town, not suitable for strangers... The time limit is too hasty, and it is difficult to sell off the family property... It is difficult to move to the homeland. It is good to stay at home for a thousand days, but it is always difficult to go out... Immortals and mortals live together, What an inconvenience... One, two, three, four, five, six, you say something to me, but in short, no one can make up their mind.

Shopkeeper Tian listened for a long time and felt that what everyone said made sense. It was better to be still than to move. It seemed that there was no need to take this risk. But he suddenly remembered what the immortal master said last night, and his heart beat several times. He knew that he was in a daze. , feeling confused, he squeezed out of the crowd and trotted all the way back to the wine shop, telling the old woman to quickly pack up her belongings and prepare to move to Dongming City for refuge.

Shopkeeper Tian has no children. He only has a daughter named Jiao, who is more beautiful than Wuyan. She is not yet married. Seeing her father in such a panic, she hurriedly asked why. After thinking for a moment, she couldn't help but said: "Dad, my daughter heard that Yang from Xingfu Restaurant The shopkeeper has long since sold off the restaurant at a low price and bought rice, flour and dry goods at a high price. Could it be that he heard some rumors?"

The words woke up the dreamer. Shopkeeper Tian still didn't understand. He slapped his thigh hard and said angrily: "Daughter, why didn't you tell me earlier? You will suffer a big loss now!"

Tian Jiao laughed and said, "If dad had known earlier, would he have followed his example and sold the wine shop at a low price?"

Shopkeeper Tian was speechless immediately, but his daughter's words made him make up his mind. As soon as the list came out, people were panicked, and he had nowhere to sell his belongings. He just hoped not to miss the "opportunity" mentioned by the immortal master, so he went up Good luck.

The three of them worked together to collect the gold and silver items and keep them close to their bodies. Tian Jiao was careful and cooked dozens of cakes in the kitchen, wrapped them in baggage, and took a jar of pickles, together with the pickled rice and noodles, and put them on the cart. Shopkeeper Tian walked around inside and out, feeling a little sad in his heart. After Tian Jiao urged him a few times, he reluctantly locked the door, pushed the car, and the three of them headed towards Dongming City.

Others were still gathering in front of the government office, talking a lot. Shopkeeper Tian and his family had packed up and started their journey neatly.
