Usnea anecdote

"Alas..." Xuan Yu sighed, and couldn't help wiping away tears again.

"...Haven't you cried enough?" Lie Qing took a big gulp of wine, feeling a little helpless, as there were already many empty wine jars piled up in the open space beside her.

"It would be great if I found out what Tianwu was thinking earlier. I would definitely not keep talking about Master in front of him. Now that Tianwu is being hunted down, and Yu Li... Master is still alive and dead, I... ..." After Xuan Yu finished speaking, she couldn't help sobbing again.He was born in a noble family and was pampered and grew up. Everything went smoothly without any setbacks. Even worshiping Xing Qi made him become Xing Qi's apprentice as he wished. As for his sinister heart, it was unheard of.

What happened this time almost shattered his original cognition, the whole person was stunned, and he cried for countless times after recovering from it, sometimes he blamed himself for not discovering Tianwu's strange intention earlier, sometimes he blamed himself Without brains, after hearing Tianwu's provocations, he turned his face at Yu Li, thinking that he was seductive and obscene, and even made his own way to pester Xing Qi so that they could not be together all the time.In hindsight, I just feel that I am extremely naive and stupid.

"Okay, Tian Wu didn't write on his face that I was a bad person, who would have expected him to do such a thing? Stop crying, it's giving me a headache."

Lie Qing frowned sternly, looking very fierce, Xuan Yu sobbed, and silently stopped his voice.

There was no movement in the room, and Xing Qi could still hear the sound of vomiting blood from time to time before, but now it was completely silent, Xuan Yu was anxious in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, for fear that Lie Qing would scold him.He didn't know that Lie Qing was also restless. Although it took a lot of effort to get Xin Lian to explain the antidote, that old fox was too sinister and cunning. Who knew if he would leave any traps in the middle? Woolen cloth?

Both of them were silent for a while.

Xing Qi only woke up in the evening of the next day. The two people who were guarding outside immediately opened the door to check when they heard the movement. Xing Qi had already got up and sat beside the bed with clear eyes, apparently he was completely healed.

Lie Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but thinking of what he might have to face next, he couldn't help but tense up again.

"Master, woo woo woo... You finally woke up!" Xuan Yu had already rushed over, with snot and tears, like a child who was wronged outside and finally saw someone who could support him elder.

Xing Qi stretched out his hand to support him, looked at him for a while, almost panicked at Xuan Yu, and then heard Xing Qi say: "Xuan Yu, I'm sorry."

Xuan Yu was stunned immediately, and Xing Qi said again: "I didn't fulfill my responsibility as a master, and I don't discipline you very much on weekdays. I should be blamed for Tianwu's matter."

"It's not like this..." Xuan Yu was eager to argue, but Xing Qi raised his hand to stop him, and sighed: "I was not suitable to be a master and teach apprentices, but I delayed you for nothing, Xuan Yu Yu, go find another good master."

"No, Master, don't you want me?" Xuan Yu cried pitifully, even Lie Qing who was beside him shook his head and walked away a few steps to let the master and apprentice speak clearly.

"It's not that I don't want you, it's me... There are other things to do. From now on, I don't care about you. Why do you waste time here?" After speaking, he took Xuan Yu's hand again, Stuffing a storage bag in his hand, he said: "Inside here are some magic tools, talismans, and pills that I made for you before, but I couldn't find a chance to give them to you. Now that Tianwu is gone, I will give them to you. If you Blame me, blame me, I have nothing to say, I am sorry for you."

Xuan Yu pinched the bag in his hand and stared blankly at Xing Qi, but no matter how much he cried and pleaded, Xing Qi was still unwilling to speak again, Lie Qing couldn't stand it anymore, walked over to pull Xuan Yu up, and brought him to the Outside the door, persuaded: "Go back first, Xing Qi is not a good teacher, you don't have to be too persistent."

But Xuan Yu just wept silently and didn't answer, and Lie Qing couldn't do anything, so he patted him on the shoulder and said in a low voice: "What about Yu Li, he must be going crazy, you... pitiful he......"

Hearing this, Xuan Yu's body shook violently, nodded slowly after a while, and walked out slowly with his head down.

Lie Qing sighed for a while, turned around and entered the room.

He sat down at the table and looked at Xing Qi, not going to speak first.

Sure enough, Xing Qi couldn't bear it any longer, hesitantly asked: "Lie Qing, Yu Li...is there something wrong?"

coming.

Lie Qing lowered his head and played with a strand of his hair, unable to see his expression clearly, asked: "How much do you remember?"

Xing Qi frowned and shook his head: "Not much, I seem to see him turned into a fish and lying on the ground, and I don't really remember the rest." After speaking, he moved closer, stretched out his hand to Lie Qing, and said: "And this, I always feel that it has something to do with Yu Li."

In the palm of his hand lay a pitted, scorched round pill.

Lie Qing shook his head, smiled bitterly silently, and slowly told Xing Qi what happened that day.

The wind at Songluo Mountain at night seems to be particularly bitter and biting. Looking around, I can only see a piece of scorched earth, where there is still greenness and luxuriance when I first came here.There was still a faint smell of burnt vegetation in the air, and as soon as one stepped on it, countless ashes and dust flew up, so the smell became more intense.

Xing Qi looked at everything in front of him in a daze, and couldn't believe it was all thanks to him.

In the pool where Yu Li stayed before, half of the water was missing, and the ashes blown by the wind covered the water in a thick layer, and it was impossible to see what was going on under the water. Lie Qing was swollen by Xing Qi's punch Standing by the pool and looking at her cheek, I felt a little uneasy.

"Yu Li, Yu Li!" Xing Qi half-kneeled by the pool and called into the water a few times, but there was no response, the pool was silent, as if it was just a pool of stagnant water with nothing in it.

After waiting for a while, Xing Qi couldn't bear the anxiety anymore, got up and jumped into the pool.

The surface of the water was covered by ashes, so it was extremely dark under the water surface, and there was no light at all. Xing Qi took out a luminous pearl, and managed to get some light, and was able to see a small area nearby.

Countless floating dust and scum floated in the water, swinging back and forth following Xing Qi's movements, without any sign of life, not to mention fish, not even a shrimp or mayfly.Xing Qi's heart became heavier as he gradually dived down.

Soon, he dived to the bottom of the water and touched the soft mud at the bottom of the pool. After seeing that there was no red figure under his feet, Xing Qi stepped on the mud carefully and searched bit by bit among the cracks in the rocks and the sunken logs.

No, still no.

How big the pool can be, Xing Qi has already walked around the edge, but still found nothing.

The last scene of Yu Li lying on the ground covered in dust is vivid in his memory. Lie Qing said that he was put back in the pool before leaving, but he couldn't be found no matter what.

The disturbed floating dust slowly returned to calm, Xing Qi supported the stone wall, stayed there for a while, and then started searching again.

In a small stone pit at the bottom of the water, a red carp was hiding in the soft mud at the bottom of the pit. Only a pair of eyes were exposed, looking curiously at the huge figure walking back and forth in the water. There is only one trace of cutting.

The carp was in a daze, and after looking at it for a while, it didn't feel interesting, and it was hungry, so while the figure turned its back to him to check and fumble in the crevices of the stone wall, he quietly swam out, wanting to find something to eat.

With a sound of "哗啦", Xing Qi came out of the water, Lie Qing who was waiting outside immediately went over and asked, "Did you find it?"

Xing Qi carefully lifted his hands out of the water, holding a water polo in his hand. In the water polo, a thin carp was frightened and was running around without thinking, and bumped into the transparent water polo wall from time to time. superior.Every time there was a bump, Xing Qi frowned even tighter, and even subconsciously stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch the place where Yu Li was bumped.

Lie Qing's hanging heart was finally let go, and he touched his cheek that was still hurting, and said repeatedly: "Just find it, just find it."

He stretched out a hand and pulled Xing Qi out of the water. Xing Qi was drenched all over, and he didn't care about cleaning up, so he rushed towards Ruwang Mountain against the wind.Thinking that the biggest problem has been solved, Lie Qing no longer followed Xing Qi, turned around and went to the nearest bustling mortal town.

After spending three or four days in the Goulan courtyard, Lie Qing finally relieved the tense and dull mood of the previous few days, and felt a lot better. Curious about what happened to Xing Qi and the little carp, he threw a few silver ingots and twisted his waist The obsequious old bustard staggered out by himself.

He is already familiar with Ruwangshan, and he can't go wrong with his eyes closed, but this time when he stepped into Xing Qi's yard in a daze, he almost thought that he drank too much and went to the wrong place—— — Where is this yard still the same as before?

The large bluestone floor tiles on the ground were turned over and piled up in a mess in a corner of the yard. The ground of most of the yard that was originally paved with bluestone has turned into a big pit, about one person deep. Xing Qi is standing at the bottom of the pit, not knowing what he is doing , Lie Qing could barely see the white jade crown on his head.

"Xing Qi? What are you doing?"

Lie Qing woke up immediately from the wine, and squatted beside the pit with great interest, looking into the pit, Xing Qi didn't speak, and immersed himself in laying large and small spirit stones neatly on the walls and bottom of the pit.

"Are you... digging a pit to hide the spirit stone? Do you still need this?" Lie Qing asked in bewilderment.

Xing Qi finally raised his head, looked at him speechlessly, and explained, "I'll make a pond for Yu Li."

While speaking, Xing Qi had already used his spiritual power to lay down the last spirit stones, and then laid a thick layer of extra spirit stones on the bottom of the pit.After checking it again, it seemed that there was nothing missing, so Xing Qi jumped onto the ground quite satisfied, then took out his saber, and slashed down towards his room.

From the roof to the ground, it was immediately separated by a crack about half a foot wide.

Lie Qing was taken aback, he didn't know why Xing Qi went crazy suddenly, but before he could ask, there was already water gurgling out of the deep groove split by the sword energy.

Now Lie Qing understands without explaining, the pond has been dug, isn't it necessary to bring in water?Behind Xing Qi's room was a spring of running water. He directly split the ground and channeled the running water into the pond in the yard.Lie Qing sneered a few times, and said dryly: "You... are really generous."

It's a pity that Xing Qi was very busy, so he didn't want to talk to him, so he went to the corridor and moved a small vat, it seemed that there was something planted in it, Lie Qing took a closer look, and found that the small vat was slightly swaying in the wind, maybe it was the one he found for him at the beginning Withered lotus?

Xing Qi seemed to want to pull out the dead leaf lotus and plant it in the newly dug pond, but after hesitating for a moment, he simply put the whole tank on a piece of ground slightly higher than the bottom of the pond, and waited for the water to fill the pond. Lian just came out of the water.

After placing the withered lotus, Lie Qing thought that Xing Qi could rest for a while. After coming here for a long time, he couldn't say a word, but unexpectedly, Xing Qi started to fumble in the storage bag again. I didn't know what I was looking for, after a long while, I finally found it, a lot of grass leaves of unknown kind were taken out and thrown on the ground, and the water was still dripping, very fresh.

Seeing that Xing Qi was like a farmer in the field, holding the pile of water plants, one by one, and holding down the roots with spirit stones, so that they would not fall down, Lie Qing completely gave up talking to him, and simply went to find him. In a shady place, he waved the stone bench that had been thrown to the corner to come to him, sat there and watched Xing Qi do the farm work.

This situation is really novel and funny. Lie Qing has known Xing Qi since he was a child, and knows that this person has nothing else on his mind except swordsmanship and cultivation. Very boring.

Unexpectedly, today, he would roll up his sleeves and dig a pond to plant grass for a small carp. Lie Qing was amazed for a while, thinking that love is really amazing.

The water flowed very fast. When Xing Qi stumbled and planted those aquatic plants, the water in the pond had already soaked his calves, and his clothes were almost soaked. Finally remembering that Lie Qing was still on the side, he raised his voice and asked, "How is it?"

Lie Qing woke up after a nap, and now he was sleepy again, startled by the sudden voice, subconsciously asked: "What's the matter?"

Xing Qi raised his chin towards the pond, Lie Qing reacted, got up and walked around the pond, only to see that the pond full of spirit stones glowed faintly in the water, and the water plants planted by Xing Qi were light with the waves. Gently swaying, soft and enchanting, looking around, the clear water and green aquatic plants are very pleasing to the eye.

"Not bad, not bad. But, he lives alone, isn't it too spacious?" Lie Qing asked while stroking the beard on his chin.

Indeed, for a small carp, Xing Qi dug a pond nearly half an acre in size, and it would take half a day to swim from one end to the other, and with so many aquatic plants, by then it would be difficult to find it. I can't find it, and I don't know if Xing Qi thought of these.

"It's not big." Xing Qi shook his head: "I used to be too constrained to him." He thought of Yu Li's pond that he once went to. It was so small that there was not even a single water plant. I don't know how he stayed there. For more than 200 years, fortunately, he was able to dream of himself. Perhaps during that long and boring time, he really brought him some happiness and comfort.

"You're digging a hole here, where is Yu Li? Where did you put him?"

Xing Qi walked down the corridor, and at the door of Yu Li's original room, there was a big vat. When Yu Li first arrived here, he couldn't sleep and secretly pulled the dead leaf lotus to use it. Xing Qi thought that Yu Li had forgotten to sleep by himself. In the tank, he turned into a human form and fell out directly, and he smiled unconsciously.

Those days were so beautiful. Someone loved me so passionately and sincerely. Just thinking of those pictures, I couldn't help but want to laugh.But, when will those affectionate eyes come back again?

Xing Qi gently lifted the fish out of the tank, wondering if he thought the tank was too aggrieved, the carp was a bit listless, even when Xing Qi picked it up, it didn't have much reaction, just flicked its tail as if coping , it stopped moving in his hand.

"Hey, does he remember you? The night he found him, he was so frightened." Lie Qing couldn't help poking the belly of the fish lightly with his finger, and was kicked by Xing Qi. several steps.

"No, he doesn't seem to remember anything." Xing Qi squatted by the pond and carefully put the carp into the water. At first, Yu Li didn't dare to move. Immediately, he jumped out with joy, and disappeared among the water plants in a blink of an eye.

Xing Qi craned his neck to look for a while, and realized that he couldn't see the red figure, so he walked back to Lie Qing and sat with him.

"Xing Qi, I haven't seriously apologized to you for this matter." Lie Qing looked at Xing Qi with a rare serious expression on his face.

"I made my own claims and almost killed Yu Li, but Xing Qi, if I do it again, I will still choose this way. You are my best brother, and I can't just watch you die."

Xing Qi reached out and patted his shoulder, and said clearly: "I understand, I didn't blame you."

The lump in Lie Qing's heart finally disappeared. When Xing Qi just woke up that day, he told Xing Qi the whole story. As a result, Xing Qi, who had just finished cleaning up the demon poison, punched him with his hand , seriously, angry, the two have known each other for so long, this is the first time that Xing Qi got angry with him, Lie Qing almost thought that he and Xing Qi would never see each other from now on.

"When you put Yu Li back into the pool, you healed his injuries, stabilized his soul, and put a protective spell on him. I would also like to thank you. If it wasn't for you, he would definitely... "

"Hey, I'm also afraid that something will happen to him, and you will go crazy. By the way, what is his situation now? Can he recover?"

"It will definitely work! I will raise it with Lingshi Lingquan, and it will definitely be fine."

What Xing Qi said was firm, and Lie Qing was also a little moved. He knew that without the golden elixir, it would not be a matter of a day or two to practice again. Those without that good luck and talent would be wasted forever.Fortunately, Yu Li still has Xing Qi, spirit stones, pills, exercises, as long as he needs, Xing Qi will help him get them no matter what.

"Well... something is missing, just ask, I'll help you find it. You have to guard him, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to go out at will."

"it is good."

The two of them had another drink under the moonlight, and Lie Qing said goodbye with sloppy steps. Xing Qi sat by the pond alone, watching Yu Li playing around the water plants from a distance, and finally there was something on his face. relaxed expression.

"Come back soon, I'll wait for you..."

Who is speaking?

The red carp was taken aback for a moment, then put the sound to the back of its head, and happily went to bite the aquatic plants.
