The pear tree on the wall is snowy and delicate

Chapter 360: Long Qi meets an old friend after leaving the retreat

The first day of the morning, wrapped in the chill of last night, spread the morning light wantonly, dyeing every piece of earth golden.

But even so, Long Qi still felt dazzled and could not help but cover his face with his sleeves, trying to block the light from entering his eyes.

Long Qi could no longer remember how many days and nights he had spent in the tomb. He suddenly returned to the human world and felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

It wasn't that Long Qi wanted to come out himself, but Wu Ji drove him out without any explanation. Not only that, he also forced Long Sheng to stay.

The shackles in his body had not yet been broken, and Long Qi really didn't understand why his ancestor did this.

He still has to save Lingxiang!

How can I save him with this body?
But Wu Ji didn't listen and just said "the time has come". In the blink of an eye, Long Qi was sent out.

This……

Where does this leave him?
or……

Return to Yuanqing?
It seems that this is the only place to go...

Long Qi traveled northward, passing through several towns, but he didn't see a single person, not even a cat or a dog.

Moreover, the villages were in a dilapidated state, and some were even filled with a foul stench.

This is corpse odor!

Long Qi looked solemn. His intuition told him that something must have happened here, but he searched every corner and still couldn't find any body.

After the Yuanqing sect was damaged, Long Qi recovered for some time and then went straight to the Long family tomb, so he had no idea what was happening in the outside world.

It is no exaggeration to say that the world today is like purgatory.

The national teacher said that the souls of the dead do not transform, cling to the dead body, or become stiff and not decayed, or become demons due to resentment. The former eats the flesh of human beings, and the latter eats the souls of human beings to make up for their deficiencies, which is extremely harmful.

Therefore, in order to prevent corpses from wandering and hurting people, the imperial court gathered the living people in one city, and the government officials checked on them every day. If anyone died, they would be burned on the spot to avoid future troubles.

After all, there are not many living people nowadays, but the country still depends on them to survive.

This was the case in all three villages that Long Qi encountered along the way, which made him extremely alert.

In the previous village, Long Qi had entered a household, but that household was not only dilapidated, there were even dried bloodstains on the ground and walls.

The sunlight shines through the broken window, casting spots on the dark bloodstains. Even in broad daylight, they still seem eerie and unpredictable.

According to Long Qi's deduction, this situation did not seem like a robbery by bandits, but rather a demonic haunting. So when he encountered it again, he remained extremely vigilant.

Although the village looked dilapidated, it was obvious that the houses were made of fine materials. Most of them were made of green wood and tiles, unlike the previous two villages, which were all made of thatch and clay.

Such a village must be prosperous and full of Yang energy. Ordinary demons and monsters would never dare to invade it.

The person who could destroy a village like this must be someone powerful and not incompetent.

Thinking of this, Long Qi carefully watched the movements around him and followed closely, fearing that the demon was still lingering here.

Just when Long Qi was concentrating, there was a sudden noise coming from the house behind him, as if the beams of the house had collapsed and rolled down, accompanied by a series of hissing sounds.

Could it be a basilisk or something like that?
It didn't sound like it, but Long Qi didn't dare to take it lightly.

At this time, a light breeze blew, and the weeds on the roadside rustled, but other than that, there was no other sound.

Suddenly, breathing could be heard all around, and the silence was eerie.

The sun was at its highest point, but everything was still at this moment, as if the light and shadows were frozen and unable to move at all.

Long Qi didn't dare to turn around rashly, for fear of making the slightest noise and alarming the monster behind him. And behind him, there was no sound at all, as if it was a beast waiting for the right opportunity to pounce on its prey.

Things could change in an instant, but neither side took action first, just waiting.

At the moment of sunrise, it burned people's spines. Perhaps he couldn't stand the stickiness on his back, Long Qixing's eyes trembled, he pinched the Lingguan Jue, turned around at lightning speed, and said confidently:
"Xun, Li, Kan, Zhen, the immortal fire is urgently offered!"

It is the Small Five Thunder Method.

After taking the Hanyu Pill, Long Qi's meridians became stagnant and he had difficulty mobilizing his spiritual power. However, after being trained by Wu Ji, he was able to absorb the spiritual energy from outside his body and use it for his own benefit.

But this method was not enough to allow him to control Long Yuan at will like before.

However, this also made Long Qi calm down and he was no longer rash and thoughtless when encountering things, but learned to think carefully.

So when he was in the underground palace, Long Qi began to concentrate on practicing magic, and now he can master some of the not-so-advanced techniques.

Although Long Qi had mastered the method of external spirit, he could not maintain it for too long. It was as if there was a giant hole in his body, and as long as the valve opened, it would absorb endlessly.

This matter also troubled Long Qi for a long time, and he almost fell into danger because of it. Fortunately, Wu Ji took action in time and saved him from danger. Later, under Wu Ji's step-by-step guidance, Long Qi slowly comprehended the method.

Long Qi was chanting the incantation, and in the blink of an eye, streaks of green lightning shot out from his hands like snakes, roaring continuously, and hit the collapsed ruins behind him.

But at this moment, a huge silver mirror suddenly appeared where the lightning struck, spinning rapidly and rebounding all the lightning magic back.

Seeing this, Long Qi was not panicked. He quickly drew out the Long Yuan on his back. In an instant, lightning was drawn to the body of the Long Yuan sword.

The thunder magic entangled the sword blade, making a continuous clanging sound, like the roar of a latent dragon.

This magic weapon is not simple! Why does it look so familiar?

For a moment, Long Qi couldn't remember where he had seen it.

It was at this moment that vines spread out from behind the mirror, carrying with them strong winds and rushing towards Long Qi.

As his energy channels were blocked, Long Qi was unable to dodge, and the vines were coming at him aggressively, and were about to wrap around him.

Long Qi roared loudly and slammed Long Yuan into the ground.

In an instant, the green lightning wrapped around the Longyuan Sword burst out, as if it had broken free from a cage, and it was unbridled and surging.

One is a vine brought by the wind, the other is a roaring thunder.

The two magics collided, and in the blink of an eye, sand and rocks flew everywhere and the wind was strong.

When the dust settled, Long Qi looked up and found that the mirror was completely intact, hanging on the ground as steady as a rock.

Long Qi frowned, feeling that the trouble ahead was extremely tricky, but at this moment, a woman's voice came from behind the mirror.

"what?"

"Hmm?" Long Qi scratched his head.

Is it a human?

A woman popped her head out from behind the mirror and stared at Long Qi for a long time. Then she exclaimed, "Ah! I said it sounded familiar. It must be you, the reckless one!"

Daredevil?
This person is so rude!
Long Qi couldn't remember who the woman was for a moment, until another person flashed out from behind the mirror, and then he remembered.

"what!"

Long Qi also exclaimed and pointed at the two of them in silence for a long time.

"It's you!"

The man and woman behind the mirror are the ones Long Qi hasn't seen for a long time...

"Liu Xia! Lian Qiao!"
