Pawn Crossing the River

The next primary goal is to find this anchor point, and then we can invade the divine kingdom of Lord Siming.

In the past, the Taoist sect had indeed planted many nails in the secret society. It was these hidden clues that led Master Jiang Da to find the Wuluo Kingdom. However, after this incident, the Lingshan Witch Cult and the Zhiming Cult also strengthened their internal investigations. , many hidden lines have been broken, and if we look for it now, we can only use stupid methods to narrow the scope little by little, just like Qi Xuansu looking for Paititi and Lanyun Island in the New World.

Of course, Qi Xuansu does not need to do this kind of thing himself, as long as it is arranged, Taoism's power is not just talk, there are few things that cannot be done, and many times they just don't want to do it.

After the discussion, everyone dispersed, including Yan Yongzhen, and then Qi Xuansu took a nap.

He hadn't slept for a long time, maybe a few months, maybe a year, and he accidentally fell asleep.

Ever since Qi Xuansu unlocked the secret of the "Heart of Immortality Stone", he has never had a dream again.

This time I had an unprecedented dream.

However, the content of the dream has nothing to do with Lingshan, but the dream about home.

In a daze, he saw Zhang Yuelu buying a lot of ingredients from outside and seemed to be planning to make Laba porridge.

It's really strange. The Lantern Festival has passed on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the Laba Festival has passed so long. What kind of Laba porridge are you drinking? Could it be that Zhang Yuelu is planning to hone his cooking skills?

It's snowing heavily.

Xiao Yin put on winter clothes and new boots, the kind with pom-poms, and ran forward and backward, leaving one footprint at a time.

She imitated Zhang Yuelu and called Qi Xuansu "Tianyuan", and also imitated Qi Xuansu and called Zhang Yuelu "Qingxiao".

By the way, where did the snow come from in Yujing?

ah? Isn’t it like spring all year round?

Xiao Yin followed Zhang Yuelu and said in his usual loud voice: "Where is Lao Qi?"

Zhang Yuelu didn't even turn around: "I'll be back soon."

Xiao Yin set off a firecracker and imitated Zhang Yuelu's tone: "Tian Yuan?"

He set off another firecracker and imitated Qi Xuansu's tone: "Qingxiao, it's me."

Zhang Yuelu ignored her and started to pack the ingredients.

After a while, Xiao Yin finished setting off the firecrackers, and then diligently helped Zhang Yuelu peel the lotus seeds.

Peel and eat at the same time.

Peel two and eat one.

Zhang Yuelu didn't say anything, arranged the ingredients and started making porridge.

Xiao Yin watched for a while, impatiently, and went out to play. You could hear her laughing and entertaining herself.

After the porridge was cooked, Zhang Yuelu called Xiao Yin to come back and drink porridge.

I just shouted a few times but got no response.

Zhang Yuelu went out to take a look. In the snow, a pair of brand new boots were kicked away, one on the left and another on the right.

Zhang Yuelu picked up the new boots and muttered: Qi Xiaoyin, I think you are becoming more and more unruly.

Then Zhang Yuelu followed a series of messy footprints and came to a corner, where he saw a small figure curled up, barefoot and motionless.

Zhang Yuelu's heart sank suddenly and he stepped forward quickly.

Xiao Yin closed her eyes tightly, heard Zhang Yuelu's voice, and asked in a low voice: "Lao Zhang, when will Lao Qi come back?"

Zhang Yuelu held her in his arms: "Didn't I say that I would be back tomorrow?"

Xiao Yin just said "Oh" and still closed his eyes.

Zhang Yuelu only felt that Xiao Yin in his arms was cold all over, like a big ice cube, and also eerily quiet, so he panicked a little.

Suddenly, Xiao Yin opened her eyes, a pair of black eyes

The big black eyes seemed to pop out and shouted: "Qingxiao!"

Then he kicked his legs wildly and raised his head as if he wanted to sit up. He spit out some unknown black water from his mouth and sprayed it on Zhang Yuelu's face.

Zhang Yuelu didn't care about this and ran out with Xiao Yin in his arms.

After running a few steps, Xiao Yin's head drooped and her eyes began to wander.

Zhang Yuelu stuffed a pill into Xiao Yin's mouth and called her name while running.

Xiao Yin seemed to have recovered, breathing hard, his chest was like an old bellows, huffing and puffing.

Zhang Yuelu took out another gourd and poured potion into her mouth.

She asked with difficulty: "Where is Lao Qi?"

Before Zhang Yuelu could answer, Xiao Yin's whole body arched up, like a big shrimp with a crescent moon. Then he slowly calmed down, became relaxed, stretched out, and finally collapsed in Zhang Yuelu's arms.

The unfinished medicine flowed down the corner of his mouth and wet his front.

The heavy breathing disappeared.

His face gradually calmed down.

It's like falling asleep.

Zhang Yuelu immediately collapsed on the ground, holding the little man in his arms and sobbing softly, and was finally drowned in the wind and snow.

Qi Xuansu woke up suddenly and sat up, full of panic.

His whole body was soaked with cold sweat - he was immune to the cold and heat, and he hadn't sweated at all in many years.

Qi Xuansu gasped loudly, feeling a little weak and even more frightened.

He had never been so afraid when he was in danger.

That feeling of helplessness, of being unable to grasp and keep, was the real source of Qi Xuansu's powerlessness.

After all, Qi Xuansu is not Xuan Sheng. He has never been a person with a heart of stone.

Although he is not a gentle person, deep down in his heart he has always longed for the warmth of his family.

Thinking of this, Qi Xuansu suddenly felt something in his heart and took out the "Guizang Lamp".

I don't know when, the "Guizang Lamp" has been lit by itself.

When Xiao Yin followed Qi Xuansu, Qi Xuansu usually put the "Guicang Lamp" with Xiao Yin, which was more convenient. This time, Xiao Yin was not taken with him, so Qi Xuansu took the "Guicang Lamp" back.

Sure enough, it was this thing that caused the trouble.

No wonder Qi Xuansu, who had not dreamed for a long time, suddenly had a dream.

Then Qi Xuansu quickly took out the sutra urn and contacted Zhang Yuelu.

Zhang Yuelu on the other side was a little surprised. Qi Xuansu suddenly contacted her, thinking there was something urgent.

In the end, Qi Xuansu just asked: "Are you doing well?"

Zhang Yuelu became more and more strange: "Of course we are doing well, but your words are meaningless. Didn't you just leave Yujing?"

Qi Xuansu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay. It's okay."

Zhang Yuelu couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing." Qi Xuansu hesitated, "I just had a dream."

Then Qi Xuansu roughly recounted the dream he just had.

Zhang Yuelu was doubtful: "It's just a dream."

Qi Xuansu said: "I have always had evil dreams, or metaphysics, either dreaming about the past or dreaming about the future. And the 'Gui Zang Lamp' was lit."

Hearing what Qi Xuansu said, Zhang Yuelu had to pay attention. He pondered for a moment and said: "According to what you said, I am making Laba porridge. It may be the Laba Festival. Last year's Laba Festival has passed. This year's Laba Festival is still early, and it's so early." I haven’t cooked Laba in years.

Porridge, then, is probably something in the future.

"Xiao Yin's symptoms seem to be poisoning? Judging from the plot of the dream, she only ate lotus seeds. There should be something wrong with the lotus seeds. Did someone deliberately poison the lotus seeds? In my opinion, the biggest suspect seems to be myself . But judging from the subsequent performance, it doesn’t look like it.”

Qi Xuansu asked a key question: "If you want to buy ingredients, where will you go?"

Zhang Yuelu shook his head and said: "It's snowing heavily. It can't be Yujing. I can't even be sure where this is. How can I know where to buy ingredients?"

Qi Xuansu thought for a while and said: "I remember, you and I went to Yunjin Mountain Da Zhenren Mansion for the first time, and caught up with Wan Miao Zhenren leading the Quanzhen Taoists to visit Yunjin Mountain. It was the Laba Festival. You told me that every time during Laba , Dazhen Mansion will cook Laba porridge, and invite relatives and friends to Dazhen Mansion to drink porridge and spend the festival together. It is also a gathering at the end of the year. I was not qualified to enter Dazhen Mansion at that time, so you went alone. "

After being reminded by Qi Xuansu, Zhang Yuelu also remembered: "That's true. Dazhenren Mansion has a tradition of drinking Laba porridge. At the beginning, Wanmiao Zhenren and others also drank Laba porridge under the guise of being invited. If I bring Xiao Yin back Yun Jinshan can make sense, but the Zhang family should not have this motive to murder Xiao Yin."

Qi Xuansu said: "It may not be the Zhang family. I am not burying you Zhang family. Your defense has never been very good. The Li family is far worse than the Li family who can't penetrate with a needle and cannot be splashed with water. When the Taoist sect was not yet unified, Zhang Zu After fighting with Xu Zu, Xu Zu changed his identity and sneaked into the Dazhen Mansion, not only destroying Yunjin Mountain's

The Taishang Sanqing Dragon and Tiger Formation severely damaged the young Patriarch Yan and almost opened the Demon Suppressing Well. "

Zhang Yuelu did not refute, only remained silent. After all, this was the truth.

Qi Xuansu sighed: "You'd better be careful, not only Xiao Yin, but also you. If you're not afraid of coming out in the open, you're afraid of others playing dirty tricks. This is something no one can predict."

Zhang Yuelu said: "I'm actually fine. Don't forget, my situation in Yujing was much more difficult than it is now. The key is Xiao Yin. She has become so popular in the past two years and is already a second-grade Taiyi The Taoist priest has also provoked a lot of people. She is still a child, so it is reasonable for someone to target her. "

Qi Xuansu was a little worried.

Even if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them. Some people in the Taoist sect feel that this boy will be a big problem in the future. Even if he can't become a great master, it will be very difficult to become a great master of Pingzhang. It makes sense to want to take action in advance.

Then there is the offending of people. Xiao Yin really offended many people, such as Buddhists and Confucianists.

After this calculation, people from the three religions are all suspects.

This range is quite large, ranging from the three masters and the emperor to the real person Shenzhi, the three great masters, the second Dharma king, and the three great sacrificial wines. They all have this motive and ability.

Qi Xuansu couldn't find out if he wanted to.

Although Xiao Yin has a special constitution, it is not impossible to kill her. After all, the previous two generations of Emperor Liu elves are already dead.

As far as poison is concerned, "Shebi Corpse Poison" is said to be able to kill immortals with poison, and Xiao Yin will definitely not be able to resist it.

So after thinking about it, I can only be more careful. After all, I don't dare to come to the door openly and openly, so I can only use some special means.

But this is not a long-term solution. I have always been a thief for a thousand days.

There is a thousand days to guard against thieves.

The couple discussed for a while, but could not come up with a good solution. Zhang Yuelu could only tell Xiao Yin to pay close attention to Xiao Yin first.

When Qi Xuansu returns to Yujing, he will discuss it with his elders.

"The familiar aftereffects have begun. It's always hard to breathe. It was the same for the first time."
