No other matters are interfering, we leave the Chunyang Temple.
Originally, the person who was to accompany us was Liu Ziyu, but when we arrived at the ancient Qiang City, Qiu Ji suddenly came.
He accompanied us all the way out of Qiangmao, and he was deeply grateful for our help this time.
I don't know how to describe the feeling inside, always like a cloud lingering above my head, lingering for a long time and not dispersing.
Ultimately, after Liu Ziyu and Qiu Ji had both left, and we were left alone, my mood was still heavy, and it didn't calm down.
"Lu Dao Zhuang, regarding the affairs of ancient Qiang City, it has always been their own matter. We have done so much, and it is enough to justify the token in your hands and the goodwill of ancient Qiang City. Your heart is too heavy, and it does not benefit yourself." Wu Jinluan reminded me.
I nodded to show that I understood.
Si Yan then softly said, "Brother, shall we return to Si Gui Mountain?"
Si Gui Mountain itself is searching for Ji Kuai, and also for Mao San You. The invitation from ancient Qiang City was a misunderstanding. At present, through Ji Kuai to find clues about the Eighth House, the current situation has already been cut off.
"Apparently, Mao San You has no trace at all." I slightly pressed my forehead.
"He planned something too grand." Wu Jinlan also sounded somewhat sighing as he interjected, "It's not just him; we also thought that Wu Ling and the person behind him would be eyeing ancient Qiang City, but it turned out to be Ji Kuai this little lackey."
I did not respond to Wu Jinluan's interjection, nor did I immediately respond to Si Yan.
Coincidentally, I received a call from Zhang Si.
He was emotional, with a hint of restlessness and regret.
He told me that earlier this week, when he asked about it, he found out that there were no disciples on Yunjinshan who took that kind of pill. However, one of the most important disciples of the mountain gate suddenly had a distressed soul and was listless all the time. It turned out that he had practiced magic arts and accidentally injured his heart vein during a recent bout of exercise. He had a good relationship with the disciple who guarded the pills, so he had no better choice than to try taking one of them to recover from his injury.
"That's still better than bad news. One person, still a disciple with poor temperament." I am not as nervous as Zhang Si.
In a situation like this, Yunjin Mountain could easily abandon that disciple.
Stealing medicine is not a good habit.
"Ah... " Zhang Si sighed bitterly and said, "After all, if there is any news about the Eighth House, Master Luo should still notify Yunjin Mountain."
The words weren't said outright, but I could tell there was more to it.
Zhang Si didn't want to say more, so naturally, I couldn't pry into it.
After the phone call ended, I replied to Si Yan and said we would return to Si Gui Mountain.
Si Yan's head nodded slightly.
Wu Jinluan's several behind-the-scenes people seemed to want to say something.
"What's wrong with you?" Wu Jinluan asked in a low voice.
The several gentlemen then gave an honest reply, indicating that everyone had gained much from their trip to ancient Qiang City and were interested in returning to Xian Dong Mountain to carefully review the gains from the journey.
Before Wu Jinluan led that group, they followed Wu Jinluan, and these people had a slight attitude of their own.
However, this is not necessarily a bad thing. A gentleman with no ideas cannot walk the furthest.
"Mr. Wu, you can go back too."
I opened my mouth to speak before Wu Jinluan could respond.
"Well…" Wu Jinluan was obviously reluctant.
"The Hall of Ascension has been without a great master for a long time, and you've called out all the elite from the hall. It's a bit empty without them, and we still have a group of gentlemen left at Tiecha Mountain." I said truthfully.
"He…" Wu Jinluan inhaled a breath before speaking. "The Hall of Ascension has been without a great master for a long time, and you've called out all the elite from the hall. It's a bit empty without them. Alright, I've been out for quite some time now. I will go back. If anything happens to Master Luo, just let me know."
I nodded in agreement.
The group parted ways, leaving only Si Yan and I.
During my journey back to Si Gui Mountain, I received a call from Huayan.
Very rarely, Huayan will take the initiative to contact me, which is to avoid potential dangers in fate.
She first asked me where I was and if there was anything I needed to do.
I could sense that there was a problem, so I asked her what had actually happened.
Huayan initially refused to say anything, but after repeated questioning, she began to choke up and told me that Huoqi had something wrong with him.
Lao Gong gave a batch of pills to Fan Jie, who then gave them to the ghost cave people.
That's fine. Before I found Fan Jie, Fan Jie had also told her about it. She went to remind Huoqi not to take the medicine.
But Huoqi didn't listen to her anyway. She said she was useless, but in fact, she had already taken the medicine.
Now, Huoqi has been in a state of disconnection from his soul for a long time, and strange wounds have started to appear on his face, which are difficult to heal.
This news made my heart extremely heavy.
In fact, whether it's Yunjin Mountain or the ghost cave, as long as Tang wu is not affected and the people related to me are fine, then this matter is a potential hazard, but it's not such a big one.
The only troublesome thing is the Thundering Pulse Temple and Jin Luo Dao Zhuang.
But Huoqi, who has also been involved in this?
I told Huayan not to worry too much. I have nothing serious to deal with, and I will return to Danxiang for a visit.
After the call ended, Si Yan kept looking out the window, without speaking.
However, face to face, she had heard everything she should have.
"Si Yan, you go back on your own first," I said.
"Hmm." Si Yan nodded.
She still didn't turn to look at me, but the eyes that looked out the window, unknown what she was thinking, seemed very deep.
...
When I arrived in Dashuang, it was already night.
Lao Gong appeared on my shoulder, muttering, "Well, none of you seem to be paying attention. If it's medicine, it must be taken. Is this what you're causing trouble for?"
"Ah, my little wife, I could have gone back to the mountain gate to see Lu Shixie. I could have had a good talk with her, persuade Si Yan a little bit, don't let her be messed around by ancient Qiang City."
"Oh, oh, the old bald man can't be bothered. He's so old, the people from the Ghost Cave used to do evil, and their death is a kind of justice. As for the one who stole medicine from Yunjin Mountain, they're just asking for trouble. You have to save yourself, my dear wife."
After all, his complaints aside, Lao Gong is actually concerned about Huoqi.
"Does Master Wei have a solution?" I took a deep breath and asked.
When Wei Youming saved Bai Zhi at Jiuqu Mountain.
Bai Zhi was severely wounded by Mao San You's soul, scattering her vital spirit ceaselessly. All of them were rescued by Wei Youming!
The toxic pill from the Baizhai line, yes, the Xibu Dan as spoken by Ji Kuai, it causes a person to be separated from their soul. Perhaps Wei Youming can cure it?
"Not necessarily." Lao Gong became excited.
"Tsk tsk, let's try. If this works, hey, you'll see. Ironbreak Mountain will have to suffer a massive blood loss. To save their young observatory master? Great, Xibu Dan for the exchange."
"As for Yunjin Mountain, even if they offer a better deal, it will still be on the account of Grandpa Tang. We'll negotiate the price then."
"Humph, even if the Ghost Cave and Ou Zhe Daoist have good luck."
Lao Gong, without doubt, is starting to calculate the accounts.
