Chapter 043 Night Talk
We didn't encounter any problems after coming out of the forbidden land. Mu Yifei took out the remaining talisman fire, and as soon as the arched door opened, we came out smoothly.
Back to the edge of Hara Lake, it was another evening, and the sixteenth moon looked brighter and rounder.
After returning to this side, Mu Yifei looked around for a few times and said, "Okay, let's take a rest here for a night."
Tianwei slowly became smaller at this time, and then he crawled back into Mu Yifei's tent with a "whirl".
We lived here and cooked some rice with the fresh water we brought before.
Although it is not a big meal, the heating of the rice has cleared most of the yin energy we have contaminated in the banned land.
After dinner, the three of us started chatting in the camp in front of the tent. At first we were talking about some trivial matters in life, but after a while, the topic was brought to the Luo Cheng party of Zu Xiwei and Wang Xiaozi.
The question in my mind came up. I asked Zu Xiwei: "Senior Sister, you and the blind man Wang went to Luocheng to investigate the Mufa Taoist. What did you find? Why did you have to go to the banned land? When you arrived at the banned land, you didn't go to save the Mufa Taoist, but saved the Soul-Devouring Python?"
Zu Xiwei also shook her head and said, "Actually, I was confused by Luocheng and my party. After arriving in Luocheng, my master left me alone in the county, and then went to the county to find out the news. I was not very clear about where he went and what he found. But he told me that he found the news about the next part of the key, but it was difficult to obtain that part of the key. He had to find someone in the banned area and find something."
"This happened later. I didn't expect that my master would use me to leave me in there."
Zu Xiwei still couldn't change her name Wang Xiaozi as her uncle.
After hearing this, Mu Yifei looked at me, as if waiting for me to express his opinion. I thought for a moment and said, "So, there is news about the next part of the keys in Luocheng. So, should we also go to Luocheng? Senior sister already has three parts of the keys. Why don't we try to get the fourth part into our hands?"
In fact, there is also a part of the iron box of the master in my hand. If I find the last part, the key will be complete.
But I didn't say it in front of Mu Yifei. Although others are good, I have been influenced by Wang Xiaozi and Qin Huailiang since I was a child, and it is still difficult for me to believe in a person completely.
After I finished speaking, Mu Yifei smiled and nodded and said, "Indeed, what Zhang Mu said makes sense. Haven't your Lingyan Gate always aimed at finding the keys and the Tower of Heaven? You might as well go to Luocheng for a walk, just treat it as a training for yourself."
Zu Xiwei thought for a while and nodded slowly.
I glanced at Mu Yifei and asked him directly: "You didn't have any bad intentions, why do I think you are waiting for me here so that you can answer my words!"
Mu Yifei waved his hand and said, "As time goes by, people's hearts will be seen. One day, you will understand my intentions. We are friends or not enemies."
I nodded and said, "This is what I hope."
Maybe my words made Mu Yifei unhappy. He snorted and turned back to the tent. I was stunned for a moment and quickly said to Mu Yifei: "Let's sleep in the same tent tonight, my senior sister himself..."
Before I finished speaking, Mu Yifei's cold voice came: "No way!"
After returning to the tent, Mu Yifei also grabbed the door of the tent. Zu Xiwei covered her mouth and smiled, then shook her head and said, "Okay, Xiaomu, let's squeeze a tent tonight, but don't have any bad intentions. I've just not seen you for a long time and want to talk to you."
Bad thoughts!?
Yes, we are all eighteen now and we all know something about men and women.
When I heard Zu Xiwei say this, I felt a little embarrassed. I couldn't help but recall many scenes before. When we were young, my senior sister held me in her arms and asked me to rest on her legs.
Thinking of this, my face turned a little red.
Zu Xiwei and I got into the tent, and Dabai followed him in. Dabai found a corner to sleep, while Zu Xiwei and I sat down at each other, and the scene suddenly became extremely awkward.
After a while, Zu Xiwei said first: "Xiaomu, tell me, how have you lived through these years?"
Only then did I tell Zu Xiwei about my experiences over the years. Of course, I just picked up the things I had and said, "I didn't say anything about hungry things."
After I finished speaking, Zu Xiwei nodded and said, "Xiaomu, although you didn't say it, I know that your life is definitely not as smooth as you said. Qin Huailiang hasn't given you money for several years, and you are unwilling to ask Wang Tao for it. It's hard to imagine how you survived it little by little."
As he said that, Zu Xiwei became particularly gentle and hugged me like she did when she was a child.
But she stopped halfway through her movements.
We are lonely men and widows in the same tent, and if we hug each other again, wouldn’t it be even more amazing?
Zu Xiwei was stunned, and she and I looked at each other, and then laughed "haha".
Zu Xiwei suggested: "It's better to sit back to back, and it's awkward to watch each other."
I said "yes".
Next we sat back to back, and I asked her about her past years and Wang Jianzi.
Zu Xiwei probably told me about it, which were all about investigating key clues. However, Wang Blind Wang did not allow Zu Xiwei to directly participate in most important events. At first, Zu Xiwei thought that Wang Blind Wang was protecting her, but now she realized that it was not protection, but guarding against it.
Zu Xiwei also told me some of his parents' stories, and her sporadic memories of her parents only remained some of the seemingly unseen scenes when she was three years old.
At that time, Qin Huailiang took her parents away from home, and then her parents never came back. From then on, she was taken care of by Wang Jianzi. It was not until she was six years old that she was sent to Qin Huailiang by Wang Jianzi.
The three years she lived in the mountains with Wang Xiazi was the happiest and happiest thing about her.
Because she started practicing early, she had a very good memory, so she remembered everything after the age of three.
Speaking of this, Zu Xiwei said, "I practice to find out the truth about my parents' murder one day, and then settle the score with Qin Huailiang. He went out with my parents, but my parents were gone, but he was unharmed. Even if he was not the murderer, he was still with the murderer."
Speaking of this, Zu Xiwei asked me again: "Xiaomu, why are you practicing?"
I thought for a while and said, "In order to survive, Blind Wang took my soul, so did Qin Huailiang. I want to find them to get my soul back. It's too far away, I didn't think about it."
Zu Xiwei said "yes".
Next we talked until the second half of the night, and then we rested with our backs on our backs.
The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight passed through the mountains, Zu Xiwei and I woke up almost at the same time.
We turned our heads at the same time, then looked at each other, and smiled at each other.
We are tacit in each other and dare not take a step forward. This is probably the so-called shyness of the beginning of love.
After doing morning practice, Mu Yifei didn't forget to tease Zu Xiwei and me: "I slept well last night!"
As he said that, Mu Yifei raised an eyebrow at me.
I said seriously: "Very good!"
After rescuing Zu Xiwei, I felt a lot more relaxed and I was in an extremely happy mood. So on the way back to Muli Township, I no longer felt that the road was difficult or slow.
However, we were still very smooth along the way. After seven or eight days, we finally returned to Muli Township.
The car was still parked there. After we got on the bus, we had no intention of returning to the provincial capital, but headed directly towards Luocheng.
We were not in a hurry when we went to Luocheng. When we passed by some larger towns, we would stop and rest, and at the same time we also bought some clothes for Zu Xiwei.
With Zu Xiwei joining me, I feel that the itinerary has become colorful, and everything I do is particularly interesting and meaningful.
On the way to Luocheng, when we stopped to rest in the city along the way, I also told Zu Xiwei that there were some keys in the iron box of my master's body. When we found the last part of the keys, we gathered them together.
The next step is to find clues to the Tower of Heaven, not the key.
At the same time, I also told Zu Xiwei that the key purple air on the auspicious beast we are missing now. When we go to Luocheng, what we are looking for is news about the auspicious beast.
Zu Xiwei also said to me: "This Tower of Heaven is the will left by my ancestors. If it can be completed for him, it will be a great blessing in my life."
I said, "It must be."
We arrived in Luocheng almost mid-September.
This is an autonomous county of the Mulao tribe. In addition to the Mulao tribe, there are also Han, Zhuang, Dong, Miao and other tribes.
The county town of Luocheng is not big, and it doesn’t take much time to drive around.
We found a hotel near Chaoyang Road to stay. We settled here first, took a day off, and then made plans.
Almost a month after coming out of the banned land, I was a little nervous at the beginning, for fear that Tianmen would give me a hunting order, but now I feel relieved. I really made the senior souls in the purple gold eagle dragon accurate, and there would be no hunting order on my head.
After arriving in Luocheng, Mu Yifei went to inquire about the news from some colleagues from Tianmen here, while Zu Xiwei and I walked around Luocheng and then chose two small gifts for her.
At night, Mu Yifei came back and asked me and Zu Xiwei for a small meeting.
He said, "During the day, I went to ask for information. After Wang Zuowang came to Luocheng, he also found people from Tianmen to inquire about the news. The person he was looking for was Qiu (qiu) Zheng!"
I asked curiously: "That ball?"
Mu Yifei smiled and said, "It's not the ball, it's the enemy's hatred. When you are a surname, you serve the ball and read 'qi' in some places."
I nodded.
Mu Yifei continued: "This Qiu Zheng, his mother is a Mulao and a Han nationality. Although he followed his father's surname, his household registration was on his mother's side. His father disappeared very early and lived with his mother. He is a well-known local wizard."
I asked, "What did Blind Wang ask him for inquiries."
Mu Yifei said: "I will go to him tomorrow morning, it depends on whether he is willing to tell us, right..."
As he said that, Mu Yifei suddenly stopped to look at Zu Xiwei and me.
I asked Mu Yifei what was wrong.
He said slowly: "I also found out that Qin Huailiang is also here. That old guy is very humble, so we must be careful."
Chapter completed!
