Chapter 72
I didn't expect this person to be so arrogant, Qin Si became a little interested, "Then why did you choose to cultivate immortals? Cultivating demons can also obtain eternal life, why didn't you choose cultivating demons?"
"Because demon cultivators kill indiscriminately, they are all great sinners, even if they live forever, it is useless." Xiao Yi seemed to be asked, held back for a long time, and then said: "My mother told me so."
The disposition is still good, Qin Si smiled, looked at Xiao Yi, and felt that this person was inexplicably familiar, especially the features, which looked like an old friend, and asked, "Where is your mother?"
Xiao Yi was taken aback, apparently he did not expect Qin Si to ask such a question, and after a long time, he said solemnly: "...she is dead."
Qin Si said: "What about your father?"
Hearing this question, Xiao Yi wrung his sleeves, only to hear a snort, the sleeves were torn, he came back to his senses, lowered his eyes and said: "I don't have a father."
As if he didn't see the other party's gaffe, Qin Si continued to ask: "Your mother told you that sentence about eternal life before?"
"No, I think so." Xiao Yi quickly realized this time.
Qin Si nodded, "Stretch out your left hand."
Although he didn't know why, Xiao Yi stretched out his hand subconsciously, then immediately retracted it, wiped the dirt on his hand on his clothes, and stretched it out again.
The boy's fingers are long and slender, and there are many calluses left by heavy work between his fingers. These calluses complement the greenness between his eyebrows, and he is dressed in a coarse cloth short shirt, portraying a classic appearance of a rural boy, the only difference is Compared with ordinary rural teenagers, he is a little less honest and a little more uninhibited.
Qin Si glanced at Xiao Yi's palm, and finally his eyes fell on the red rope on his wrist. The red rope was extremely delicately woven, and there was a silver bell hanging at the end, but perhaps because of the material, the bell was not No sound.Qin Si twitched his eyebrows and turned to Qing Su.
"Your cultivation level is not enough to transform into a god, and you have not yet become a teacher, so you cannot accept disciples." Before Qin Si could speak, Qingsu said first, "I also promised that I will never accept another disciple in this life."
"..." Qin Si was stunned. When did he say that he would take this person as his apprentice? He was just a little surprised after confirming Xiao Yi's identity, but he never expected to be misunderstood by Qing Su. He couldn't help laughing and crying, and explained: "I don't want to accept him as a disciple, just to confirm some things."
Xiao Yi, who knelt on the ground and listened to the conversation between the two with his ears stretched out, had just shattered the little hope he had raised, and his whole body was listless, his head almost drooping to his chest.
Hearing what Qin Si said, the coldness in Qingsu's body dissipated a lot, and after a while, he walked up to the young man, put a piece of jade slip in his hand, and said: "Take this jade slip and go all the way east, to Qingling Xianzong, someone will accept you as a disciple at that time."
After receiving the jade slips, Xiao Yi's eyes lit up, and he quickly kowtowed, "Thank you immortal! I will definitely come!"
"Well, if you go two miles west from here, you will be able to see the village." Qingsu handed over a lantern at the same time, "Go back and tell your villagers to move away within half a month, the farther away from here the better. Otherwise there will be great disaster."
"Okay, thank you Immortal." Taking the lantern respectfully, Xiao Yi looked at the two with reverence in his eyes, kowtowed a few more times, and then got up and left in the direction Qingsu said.
"Master." Seeing Xiao Yi leave, Qin Sichao Qingsu raised his eyebrows, "You seem to be very worried that I will accept disciples?"
"No."
"Oh? Then why are you so anxious to drive him away?"
"..."
Seeing Qingsu's aphasia, Qin Si laughed, then looked a little more serious, and said, "Don't you think this child looks like a person?"
"Who?"
"Junior sister Qi Yao, the direct disciple of Qingwei's head."
Although Qi Yao has always had a round face in Qin Si's impression because of her fat body, her facial features are extremely delicate and easy to recognize, especially her slightly raised eyes, which are extremely agile. Everywhere has become uninhibited, but it is not difficult to see that it is carved out of the same mold.
Moreover, this child is still Bing Lingen, and only if at least one of the parents is Shui Lingen can a child of Bing Lingen be born, so he couldn't help but doubt Xiao Yi's identity.
Qin Si had also looked for Qi Yao in the past few years, but like Qing Wei, he found nothing except to confirm that she was still alive.Now it's a little strange to find this young man who may be her child here, and to learn from the other party that his mother has passed away.
What Qin Si didn't say was that the child's nose and mouth looked like another person's. Thinking of the number of years Qi Yao had been missing, he frowned, and said to Qingsu: "We've almost checked here, let's follow up and take a look."
Qing Su nodded, he naturally knew that Qi Yao had a good relationship with Qin Si in the early years, and she was a rare and straightforward girl.
Carrying the lantern given by Qingsu, Xiao Yi felt that the way back was very smooth compared to the occasional trips when he came out. He walked two miles west smoothly, just as Qingsu said he saw lights.
He even heard a faint call, it was the villagers calling his name around with torches.
The boy who had always been fearless suddenly felt hot in his eyes, clenched the lantern in his hand, and ran towards the nearest call.
"Xiao Yi! Xiao Yi—"
The woman wiped the sweat from her forehead, and while screaming, she pushed aside the bushes to check carefully, for fear of missing any clues, she hammered her sore waist, her voice was already a little hoarse, but she didn't stop. Regardless of the dissuasion of the two villagers behind him, he had to go deep into the forest, "What if the child is in there? I have to go in and look for it."
When Xiao Yi heard this sentence when he came out, his eyes became hot, he wiped his eyes quickly, walked out, and called, "Auntie."
"Hey!" Seeing Xiao Yi's sudden appearance, the woman was taken aback. She let go of her hand and the torch in her hand fell. She didn't care. Twist on it, and shouted with red eyes: "This child is too, didn't he just say a few words? As for running away from home?" Then the voice became smaller and smaller, and he couldn't stop sobbing, "It's in the middle of the night, if How can I explain to your mother what happened?"
Xiao Yi didn't fight back, instead he let the woman pinch and hit her meekly, and stretched out his free hand to smooth her back, "Don't worry, Auntie, I'm going to find the gods. I showed the way back." He raised the exquisite lantern in his hand, "Look, this is a lantern given to me by the gods."
The villagers who heard the news were surprised and happy when they heard Xiao Yi's words, and they gathered together to watch the lanterns sent by the gods.
"What else did the god say?" Suddenly a curious voice came out.
"He also said that this village can't stay anymore, let us leave as soon as possible within half a month, the farther the better." Xiao Yi's voice was clear enough for all the dozen or so people present to hear, "When I met a fairy just now, They are fighting with demons, and there are so many demons in this mountain, they are densely packed, and they all want to eat people! The god said, if we don’t move away quickly, our village will not survive until the demons come out.”
Xiao Yi's words caused an uproar, but no one dared to doubt him because he used the word "immortal", and they all embraced him and hurried back to the village. The whole village's relocation must be discussed with the village chief and all the respected elders in the village.
Qin Si lazily sat on the branch, leaning his back on Qingsu's chest, watching Xiao Yi with open eyes and talking nonsense with great interest, and easily gained the trust of the villagers, sighed, "This kid is smart."
Looking at the white neck of the man in his arms, Qingsu's eyes darkened, he cleared his throat, and said: "Don't show off Xiaozhi during the journey of cultivating immortality."
"..." Qin Si was choked up, and glanced suspiciously at Qing Su. Could it be that the master laughed at him for jealousy before taking revenge on him?
"what happened?"
"It's okay." Qin Si turned his head and continued to look at the village, but he didn't see the fleeting smile in Qingsu's eyes.
As planned, Xiao Yi first took out the lantern and showed it to the village head and a group of old people, and then vividly described his "scary experience" in the forest, especially describing how terrifying the monster he saw was. Point out that if they don't move out as soon as possible, then the whole village will fall into an extremely dangerous situation or even be completely wiped out, and the old people in the room will be taken aback for a while.In the end, in order to completely win the trust of the village chief and others, he also took out the jade slips that Qingsu gave him as a token.
"You see, this is also given to me by the immortal. He said that he left a mark in it. As long as I take it to the immortal gate to find him, he will accept me as a disciple." Xiao Yi held the jade slip under the eyes of a group of old men. After shaking it for a while, the blue-green jade slips looked extraordinarily bright under the orange light, and it was indeed not a mortal thing at first glance, which completely convinced a group of old people.
"Then everyone, go back and rest. Tomorrow, we will inform all the households to pack up their things, and we will move out the day after tomorrow. Well, according to the fairy, let's go all the way east." The village chief stroked his beard, nodded, and then looked sharply. Circled the elders who were present, "Besides, before Xiao Yi goes to Xianzong, I hope you can keep the news that Xiao Yi was selected by the immortal as an apprentice."
The few old people naturally knew that the village chief was doing this to prevent the jealousy of the fellow villagers, so they all nodded and said congratulations to Xiao Yi before leaving.
Xiao Yi squeezed his fingers, and his eyes were a little red. He didn't expect the old man in the village to react like this. Suddenly, he felt guilty for the half-truth and half-false words that the other party had subconsciously spit out. He opened his mouth, and finally only spoke to the village chief. Thanks.
"You child, why should I thank you? Our whole village should thank you." The village head smiled kindly, his eyes were full of wisdom accumulated through age, "I know you haven't told the whole truth, but there are What you conceal is the best protection for yourself, and I won't blame you." Speaking of this, the village chief sighed, "Actually, even if you don't come back today to say these things, I plan to let the villagers move out in a few days. "
"Why?" Xiao Yi raised his head, his eyes full of doubts.
The village chief patted the back of Xiao Yi's hand with his rough palm, and smiled, "You are still young, so you don't understand these things. I was born and grew up in this Wangjia Village, and it has been more than 80 years since I was a child. I am the most familiar. But just recently, everything has changed, the taste of the mountains has changed, the taste of the water has also changed, and even the two big trees planted by the door are about to wither, and I knew it was coming. Big deal."
"Just in time, Wang Er also burned all the firewood in the village in winter." The village head stood up from his seat leaning on his crutches, coughed, and sighed, "I am old, you are still young, and you still have a lot of money." I have to live for many years, without mountains and water, what is there to do here... It's time, it's time to leave."
The aged back of the village chief disappeared from sight. Xiao Yi stood there in a daze, with a sore and heavy feeling in his heart that couldn't be lingered. He pursed his lips and looked at the two trees outside the village chief's house. The Albizia juncea tree, which has been around for hundreds of years, discovered that this year's leaves seem to be falling too early.
