After the fog, I became a birdman

Uncle Qi's progress was much faster than Su Qing imagined.

Just sent a message to Su Qing yesterday that they had arrived in Gaocheng. Su Qing thought they were going to rest for a few days. Uncle Qi sent a message this morning that they could go to Gaocheng.

In the warm room, the food on the table exudes heat. Su Qing listened to Uncle Seven's voice in the communication jade talisman, and suddenly realized that maybe even grandpa didn't know Huang Bo.

Before his death, his grandfather didn't let him stay away from Huang Bo. He must have thought that this man could be saved.

Su Qing recalled the kind old grandfather when he was a child, and suddenly found that the image of the old man in his memory became more and more inconsistent.

In fact, he has always had an intuition that Huang Bo should have killed his grandfather, so he had the intention to kill Huang Bo after Uncle Qi told some of the inside story last time.

But he said that there were many contradictions in the collected information, and a lot of information told him that Huang Bo's crime was not worthy of death, and it was even possible that he had wronged Huang Bo, so he still wanted to hear Huang Bo's explanation.

Although he was angry in his heart, he was not a person who killed indiscriminately. What Su Qing wanted most was to ask exactly what happened in the first place, and to find out why grandpa died.

If Huang Bo didn't deserve death, Su Qing wouldn't really kill him. After all, not everyone wants to get blood on their hands.

But looking at it now, Huang Bo was much scarier than all of them imagined.

"I never thought that the worm crisis in Gaocheng was actually because he made a deal with the worms in the abyss." Uncle Li Qi over there suppressed his anger, "Just to make that bloodthirsty vine transform into some kind of king's bloodline, he actually used it Live people go feed bloodthirsty vines!"

Uncle Li Qi also said a lot, all of which he heard from Peng Chengyu and confirmed all of them after one night.

At the end, his tone was heavy: "Susu, Peng Chengyu knew something about Uncle Su's injury. He said that he didn't follow into the ruins back then, but just waited outside and saw the seriously injured Uncle Su being carried out by Mr. Shi."

Peng Chengyu is Huang Bo's eldest disciple, besides Huang Bo's eldest son, he is the one Huang Bo values ​​the most.

Su Qing, who had been silent all this time, withdrew her somewhat distracted attention: "What else did he say?"

Uncle Li Qi paused, with some sadness: "He said that the situation was complicated at the beginning. Even Shi Lao and the others didn't know whether Huang Bo deliberately concealed the existence of the gatekeeper beast, but after the accidental death of Huang Bo's eldest son a few months ago, , He almost took over the affairs of the Huang faction, and accidentally found something in Huang Bo's place, and he said he wanted to tell you in person."

From this point of view, it was clear whether Huang Bo did it on purpose, what was missing was a detailed story.

"What is a gatekeeper?" Su Qing asked again.

"Peng Chengyu didn't say anything." Li Qishu shook his head.

Su Qing's mood was a bit complicated: "I see, please wait for me for a few days, Uncle Qi, I will leave tomorrow."

The two sides hung up the communication jade talisman, and after a while, Qi Jiang put a piece of pork ribs with salt and pepper into Su Qing's bowl: "Susu, let's eat first."

Su Qing hummed, cleared up her slightly complicated mood, picked up the bowl and continued to eat.

After eating, they packed up their things, and it was almost noon.

Qi Jiang checked the doors and windows of the house, made sure that they would not be blown away by the wind and snow, and went to the living room to set off, but saw Su Qing who had just said that he was going to get ready to go out, sitting on the sofa in a daze with two earmuffs.

"Susu, you can go out now."

Qi Jiang's voice brought Su Qing back to his senses, glanced at the earmuffs in his hand, quickly took out two down jackets from the space, and asked with some hesitation: "Is this thickness acceptable?"

"It's a little thinner. It's getting colder now. We have to go at night. It's better to take thicker clothes. Didn't you buy polar down jackets? That's it." Qi Jiang took the gloves and scarves they were used to these days Take it out too.

Su Qing took out the clothes, which happened to be remodeled by him, so there is no need to worry about the wings being damaged, but there is no animal skin sewn on the outside.

Seeing this, he took out two spare sets of animal skin cloaks, and replaced them with cloaks when he saw that they were a bit short. After checking them, he nodded in satisfaction: "This should be more or less the case."

"Do you want to take Shanshan?" Qi Jiang asked while changing clothes, saying that taking Shanshan actually wanted to take care of Su Qing's emotions, "Just take her out to see and see?"

"Forget it." Su Qing never thought about taking the two children there, "It's not a trip, so I won't take it."

Qi Jiang hesitated to speak, but Su Qing still had some feelings for Huang Lao. After all, he was an elder who watched him grow up. He suspected that Su Qing would not be able to do anything in the end.

Just thinking about it, grandpa is more important in Su Qing's heart, and Qi Jiang never thought about getting blood on Su Qing's hands, as long as Su Su made up his mind, he would do this kind of thing or leave it to others.

Thinking of this, Qi Jiang didn't say anything, and after Su Qing also changed his clothes, he said, "Let's go, go to the backyard."

"Ah."

They went out from the leeward backyard. It was noon, the wind and snow were light, and Jinjin in the distance flew back from the outside with a howling cry, holding a relatively large prey in its paws.

Su Qing turned his attention to the child: "Jin Jin has been hunting for the past few days, can his cave hold so many prey?"

Jin Jin used to go hunting in the morning, and he would stay at home for a few days after a hunting session. Later, when the wind and snow became stronger during the day, he took advantage of the relatively calm time to go out at noon. Because the quiet time was short, he did not go out every time. Can catch prey.

Qi Jiang did some calculations, and estimated that it would not be able to fit in a few days. He shook his head slightly: "I have some ideas about making the Qiankun bag. When we come back from Gaocheng, we will make one for the two children."

Su Qing flew towards the Jade River, his eyes were bright: "So you have a clue soon?"

"Well, maybe the space wasn't big enough at first." Qi Jiang nodded, "When we sell some of the smaller ones to Mr. Han, he should be very happy...Forget it, he has no money."

Su Qing smiled and shook his head: "You can give him one."

"I'm afraid that this little old man will make an inch of it." Qi Jiang sighed helplessly, shaking his head while saying, "Let's give it to Tan Yilong and Zhou Chen, and give it to Captain Zhang by the way, and let them pass it on to this little old man."

After Captain Zhang didn't come to class, Qi Jiang's address also changed, and so did Su Qing. They were more used to calling him Captain Zhang instead of calling him by his full name.

Perhaps this is also to remember the previous friendship. After all, there are fewer and fewer acquaintances in the past. The last time the monsters besieged the city, Brother Qian also went, leaving Qian Tong alone.

"Give Qiantong one too." Su Qing remembered that this child had entered the patrol team now, and wanted to give it another go, and then remembered that Shanshan had been following Shantu, so he won one for him, "Shantu also Give one."

The Qiankun bag is a more complicated instrument. It is one thing to make it, another to have enough space, and another to have fresh-keeping functions or other additional functions.

Qi Jiang does not ask for additional functions now, but only wants a larger space, but it will take a lot of time to make a space that satisfies him. During the period, they will not be able to use the Qiankun bag that is not enough space, and it is okay to send it out, so Even if six places are reserved now, there is no pressure.

But in this way, Su Qing thought of Uncle Qi who was far away in Gaocheng: "How do you think we send Uncle Qi there?"

Qi Jiang knew that he and Uncle Qi had a deep relationship: "I will send it to Uncle Qi when I make a large space. It is only about 3 kilometers away, and it takes less than seven days to go back and forth."

Their voices gradually faded away, heavy snow fell from the sky densely, leaving only a piece of white in the world.

After the day passed, the wind and snow suddenly increased, and the visibility became very poor. If they were within a radius of [-] kilometers of the snow-free mountains, Qi Jiang and Su Qing would naturally know what altitude they should maintain to allow them to travel unimpeded.

But after leaving their familiar place, Qi Jiang and Su Qing didn't dare to fly too fast no matter how high they flew, for fear that they would accidentally hit a mountain. With their speed, half of their lives would be lost if they hit it. .

The sky in the snow season was getting dark quickly, and Qi Jiang couldn't hold on for too long with the brightest lantern. When it was too late to react and see the road ahead, he began to slow down: "Susu, find a place to rest nearby. Bar."

In order to find a place where they could safely spend the most snowy part of the night, they had to reduce their speed and altitude again, and searched for a suitable shelter from the wind next to the mountains below.

Rumble!

There was the sound of thunder in the distance, and some faint lightning flashed across the dark night sky. Qi Jiang felt the danger, and approached Su Qing to remind him: "Susu, don't go near the place where the thunder strikes."

"Ah."

Su Qing followed Qi Jiang and walked in the opposite direction. The two of them searched for half an hour before finding a suitable shelter from the wind, and after another half an hour they dug a relatively deep cave to avoid the wind and snow.

The outside is no better than at home. Although the wind in the cave is not strong, it is very cold. The strong wind mixed with snowflakes keeps blowing in from the entrance of the cave. Qi Jiang is trying to figure out how to block the entrance of the cave and allow the air to circulate normally.

Su Qing laid out the carpet in the cave, and then laid out the beds for them to sleep in. After the wind died down, Su Qing started to light a fire and burn charcoal.

After a while, Qi Jiang walked in from the outside, the dragon-horned swords had been put away, and the dragon claws on his hand turned into a hand. He stretched out to touch Su Qing's face, feeling quite warm, and went to touch his hand again.

Su Qing's hands were a little cold, Qi Jiang frowned slightly, rubbed them with his own warm hands, and let go only after warming his hands.

It was difficult to raise the temperature in the cave, and there were several charcoal pots beside them, and it didn't feel much warmer after burning for a while.

There were still some snowflakes on their faces, Su Qing took out two hot towels from the space: "Wipe your face, make it more comfortable."

"Remember to warm your hands next time." Qi Jiang said while wiping his face.

"I'm used to it, it's gone within two days of using it for me." Su Qing shook her head.

"That also needs to be used, no matter how hot it is." Qi Jiang said in disapproval.

Su Qing responded with a smile, and after wiping her face, she pressed the towel greedily and sighed softly, "It's so comfortable."

Qi Jiang chuckled, glanced at the somewhat dirty towel, and dismissed the idea of ​​using it for Su Qing, seeing that the water on the charcoal basin was a little hot, so he put the towel in to wash.

Seeing this, Su Qing also put it in and asked Qi Jiang to help, and took out some food beside him: "Let's eat, we have to go on the road tomorrow."

The weather was relatively cold, and a layer of oil floated on the hot food not long after it was taken out. Seeing this, the two moved to the charcoal basin to eat, wiped their hands and faces after eating, and went to bed.

Su Qing, who had been sleeping in a comfortable little cliff for several months and slept without clothes for a long time, was a little uncomfortable. Hearing the faint thunder coming from outside, she yawned and opened her eyes, unable to fall asleep anyway. .

Qi Jiang slept well, but even when he fell asleep, he kept paying attention to Su Qing. After realizing that Su Qing couldn't fall asleep, he woke up slowly, and asked hoarsely in the dark cave, "Can't sleep?"

"The clothes are too thick, I'm not used to it." Su Qing turned around and nestled in Qi Jiang's arms, "It will be fine in a while."

Qi Jiang got up and lit a lamp, and dug several small holes in different heights of the cave, and stuffed the new charcoal basins in. After feeling the cave was warmer, he took out two quilts.

"Susu, when I get up, I'll spread another quilt to make it warmer."

Su Qing stood aside, watched him busy, felt that he could not rely on Qi Jiang to take care of him alone, so he added some carbon to the charcoal basin, added a few stoves to it, and filled some hot water bottles.

After the bed was made, Qi Jiang took off his coat and lay down. He felt more comfortable and nodded: "Susu, come in."

Su Qing was able to sleep soundly without wearing a thick coat to sleep.

After night, the wind and snow outside became lighter again. When Su Qing and the others left the cave, the thunder in the distance sounded a little clearer than last night.

The place where the thunder struck was not on their only path, but it was not very far from the bank of the Yu River. As they moved forward, the thunder sounded closer and closer.

Passing by there, Su Qing looked curiously at the sea of ​​thunder one to two hundred kilometers away: "I thought it was a thunderstorm last night, but I didn't expect it to be a place similar to Leifeng Mountain."

Qi Jiang is more sensitive to thunder and lightning, and now he looks over there with some doubts: "Last night, I felt that there was a bit dangerous there, but today I feel that there is no threat over there."

Su Qing paused for a moment, because Qi Jiang didn't stop and overtook him in an instant, and it took two seconds for Qi Jiang to stop in front: "What's wrong?"

"Should we go over there and have a look? It's not far from the left and right." Su Qing was a little eager to try, "Maybe it's not necessarily a special spiritual thing."

Qi Jiang was also moved, nodded and flew over with Su Qing.

The sea of ​​thunder is not big, only one or two kilometers in size. The objects on the ground were smashed to pieces by the thunder, and the ground was scorched black. In the center was a dry river valley. On the surface, there was nothing special about it, and there was nothing special about it. exist.

Qi Jiang's horns were faintly shining, and the dragon soul also ran out and circled in the air a little excitedly.

Seeing this, Su Qing thought about it: "Dragon Soul, does this Lei Hai have something?"

Dragon Soul bounced up and down as a nod, Su Qing's eyes lit up, and asked where that thing was, but it was difficult for Dragon Soul to answer this question.

After thinking about it, the dragon soul flew back to Qi Jiang's dragon horn, and after a while, Qi Jiang relayed: "The dragon soul said that there is indeed something inside, which can make me awaken again."

Su Qing's eyes flickered slightly, what is the second awakening?What he wants most is to let the dragon soul recognize the master, so that Qi Jiang can definitely build the foundation directly.

"Will that work for Dragon Soul?"

Qi Jiang understood Su Qing's meaning, smiled and shook his head: "It's useless."

"Seeing that you can't eat is really annoying." Su Qing stretched out his hand and touched Qi Jiang's lavender-glowing dragon horn with emotion.

Qi Jiang's eyes changed slightly, and he pulled Su Qing's hand down helplessly, and said in a low voice, "You can recruit me while it's inconvenient outside."

"You can think about everything, I'm talking to Dragon Soul and I didn't invite you." Su Qing spat at him and took her hand back, "How do I get this spirit thing?"

Qi Jiang raised his hand and flicked his dragon horn to eject the dragon soul: "Don't you see who you are touching."

Su Qing was speechless, even though the dragon soul seemed to live in the dragon's horn, it was actually impossible to touch it, and when he reached out to touch it, it was indeed Qi Jiang.

"How do I get this spirit thing?" He quickly changed the subject.

Qi Jiang stretched out his hand and pinched his earlobe, and after a while, he grabbed the dragon soul flying in the air and relayed what it said.

The method is not easy to say, and it is not difficult to say difficult.

Directly into the sea of ​​thunder, if there is fate, the spirit will always show up.But there is still a big question, that is, how many lightning strikes can Qi Jiang withstand?

Hearing this, Su Qing was a little worried: "You still have a head and can't cover the dragon scales, it's too dangerous to go in like this."

Qi Jiang touched his dragon horn, pondered for a moment and said, "I think I should give it a try."

"It's not safe."

Qi Jiang wanted to say that riches and honors come in danger, but then he thought about it, if he was really hacked to death, it would be useless to be rich and honored, it would be better to be happy with his wife for a few years.

"I'll reach in and try." He decided not to be too aggressive.

Seeing that he was thinking about it, Su Qing nodded in agreement, with wings shining, ready to pull Qi Jiang out at any time.

Qi Jiang tentatively came to the vicinity of Leihai, and Su Qing followed suit. Watching him slowly stretch out his hand into the Leihai, his heartbeat accelerated nervously, feeling like his heart was jumping into his throat.

Zizizi!

Amidst the rumbling thunder, there were still some electric balls jumping around, and the thunderbolts with thick wrists struck down densely, with almost no gap.

As soon as Qi Jiang stretched his hand in, he was struck. He was so shocked that he took a few steps back and bumped into Su Qing. The horns of his head flashed a few arcs, and the feeling of being electrified all over his body was a bit sour.

Su Qing staggered a few steps after being hit, and still asked nervously from the side: "How is it?"

Qi Jiang breathed out a turbid breath, stretched out an OK gesture to indicate that he could, and this time directly stretched his forearm in.

Lei Ting looked horrifying, but actually he was quite gentle to Qi Jiang. Although he was a little sour at first, he didn't feel any pain after getting used to it. That's all.

When he was struck by lightning, his dragon horns flashed like electric arcs. Su Qing watched him slowly extend his forearm to fully extend his arm, frowning and wanted to pull him out.

But Qi Jiang didn't feel any discomfort at all, and even began to try to move half of his body in, that is to say, this time he would hit the head.

Su Qing opened his mouth, afraid of affecting him and distracting him, he didn't say anything.

After a while, Qi Jiang, who had confidence in his heart, really entered half of his body, and the lightning that was supposed to hit the top of his head was all attracted by the dragon's horn.

Su Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and Qi Jiang walked in without any worries after finding out that there was nothing wrong. After a few minutes, seeing that there was really no discomfort, he turned around and smiled at Su Qing.

"I went first." Qi Jiang pointed to the valley in the center of Leihai.

"Well, be careful." Su Qing nodded slightly.

Qi Jiang turned around and walked in. After about 3 minutes, before he reached the other side of the valley, Lei Hai suddenly stopped thundering, and even the electric balls flying around in it fell into the ground and disappeared.

Almost at the same time, Qi Jiang sensed the danger and subconsciously flew out, but the speed was not as fast as a purple stone ball flying out from the center of the valley.

Rumble!

Crackling!

Lei Hai reappeared, and the stone ball smashed towards Qi Jiang with thunder and lightning. The dense thunder and lightning were absorbed by the dragon's horn and did not hurt him at all. However, the powerful force of thunder and lightning fixed him in place.

Qi Jiang shouted to Su Qing in horror: "Su Su run!"

It's too late.

Because the speed of the two sides was too fast, Su Qing, who was not far from Leihai, immediately entered within two kilometers of Leihai. The ball also ran near Su Qing.

hum!

Seeing a bunch of electric balls jumping towards him, Su Qing's pupils shrank slightly, and subconsciously wrapped himself with his wings, and the light hunting bow automatically ran out to protect the master, and the swaying tree of good fortune propped up a light green shield for Su Qing, and the electric The ball hit the top with a sizzling sound, emitting wisps of black smoke.

Qi Jiang didn't just sit still, seeing that Su Qing was electrocuted before he finished shouting, he immediately chose the fastest way, biting the tip of his tongue and spitting a mouthful of blood onto the stone ball.

Ten seconds later, the stone ball recognized the owner, the thunder disappeared, Qi Jiang successfully awakened for the second time, and the branch of the two horns grew by one centimeter.

Here, Su Qing fell to the ground with a pale face, Qi Jiang didn't bother to check his changes, and immediately ran over and hugged him nervously.

He didn't experience any pain, but he was terrified when Su Qing was cheated, and he sat on the ground with limp legs: "Susu, how is it? Where does it hurt?"

Su Qing frowned tightly, pulled down the mask uncomfortably to expose his mouth and nose, waved his hands and coughed a few times, and coughed out the black smoke from his mouth, Qi Jiang watched even more nervously, but he didn't find any injuries : "Is it an internal injury?"

"No." Su Qing coughed again, "I'm choking."

This little electric ball can't hurt Su Qing, but he was frightened at first, the electric ball hit the black smoke on the protective cover and choked, and he accidentally inhaled it and choked.

Qi Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, and checked him worriedly while helping him, and he was really relieved when he saw that he was really fine: "Fortunately, he's fine."

After a while, Su Qing was finally not so uncomfortable. Qi Jiang kept protecting him from the wind and snow, and when his breathing calmed down, he helped him pull the thermal mask over his nose.

"Is it better?" His tone was cautious, with some guilt and annoyance.

Su Qing smiled and nodded: "It's much better."

The second awakening that he had been thinking about was finally completed, but Qi Jiang was not as happy as he imagined, and he helped Su Qing wipe off the cold sweat that had turned into ice particles on his forehead: "Susu, I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what?" Su Qing raised her eyes, "Are you treating me like a porcelain doll again?"

"If you don't want to be a porcelain doll, you shouldn't be cheating on you." Qi Jiang wished he could go back and beat the escaped self to death. He knew it would be better to stay where he was.

"It's because I didn't react fast enough." Su Qing never blamed him, "And you did the right thing. If you encounter danger, you have to run. If you don't run someday, I will really blame you."

Qi Jiang hesitated to speak, and after a few minutes, he held Su Qing in his arms with some fear: "I'm just afraid of losing you."

"Just this small electric ball can kill me, do you think I'm too weak?" Su Qing pushed Qi Jiang away pretending to be angry, stood up and patted the snow on his clothes, "Okay Now, let's hurry up, we still have to go to Gaocheng."

"Okay." Qi Jiang followed Su Qing step by step.

Because what happened just now really frightened him, and he felt terrified even when Su Qing was out of sight for a few seconds in the next journey, so he kept flying behind Su Qing, even when he was looking for a place to rest at night. keep watching.

Their traveling time was shortened again. Early the next morning, the two arrived at the original site of Gaocheng. There was no one there, but there were some road signs pointing north.

[Xingaocheng Base: Go straight north for [-] kilometers]
