Back to the Countryside

The two settled down temporarily in Qi Yue's previous residence, and he rejected Han Yang's proposal to send disciples to serve him, just like in Gushui Village, doing everything by himself.

He would go to the owner of the valley every day, and when he came out, his complexion was usually not very good, as if he had no clue about the reason for his sudden illness.

It has been more than a month since he fainted, and it is not known whether he will wake up again. The disciples in the valley are divided into two factions, one faction insists on waiting for him to wake up and take over the overall situation, and the other faction thinks that it is time to choose a new leader Valley owner.

But even if he chooses the new Valley Master, there are still differences among the disciples. The three senior brothers now take the responsibility of the Valley Master and manage things in an orderly manner. Now that he is back in the valley, the owner of the valley has always favored him, and his ability is also the most outstanding, so it seems more reasonable for him to be the owner of the valley.

Because of these things, the disciples in the valley had to argue endlessly every time, insisting on their own ideas and refusing to back down, which made the atmosphere in the valley different from the past, very chaotic and noisy.

At this time, new rumors arose in Guzhong. Regarding Qi Yue, it was said that when he was in Guzhong, he used to test medicine with cruel means, and he did not leave any room for him. Seeing the valley owner's preference, he acted lawlessly. This time, when he just returned to the valley, there were two troubles again.

They had quietly asked Taniguchi's two new disciples, if they hadn't begged for mercy quickly, the other party would have killed him, and even the senior who was guarding the gate of Taniguchi was scolded for stopping him.

If such a person becomes the owner of the valley in the end, will they still have a good life?For a while, those who supported Qi Yue began to waver in their hearts.

"It's really ignorant of them to say such words!" Han Yang told him the situation, his face was very angry, "We are acting on behalf of the duties, and the position of Valley Master is naturally yours, Junior Brother Qi!"

Qi Yue's expression remained unchanged, and he poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, "Brother, don't worry, it's just nonsense, why bother to spoil my mood because of it."

"I'm just mad at them for slandering you!" Han Yang took a sip of the tea and let out a long sigh of relief, "Don't worry, Junior Brother, we will definitely not compete with you for the position of the valley owner."

"Senior brothers, of course I can trust them." Qi Yue smiled and nodded, expressing that he didn't care, "Actually, I don't want to hide it from senior brothers. Master woke up for a while yesterday and handed over the Guzhu token to me."

Han Yang paused while drinking tea, and then raised his head in surprise, "The owner of the valley has actually woken up? As expected of the younger brother, we have thought of many ways, but we have not woken him up."

"It's just a fluke." Qi Yue lowered his head and smiled wryly, "I have no idea what kind of poison is in his body. If this continues, I'm afraid I will be powerless."

"I don't know which bastard did such a thing!" Seeing him sad, Han Yang's mood also fell, "Don't be sad, junior brother, now that the token of the valley master is in your hands, at least there will be no more leaderless, why don't you Take this position as soon as possible!"

"Let's wait a little longer, anyway, the things are already here, so don't worry too much." Qi Yue said, and took out a jade tablet from his pocket, with the word "Qi Du" engraved on one side, and many flowers and plants carved on the other. The like lines, those are precious herbs, carved very delicately.

The owner of the valley used to hang this thing around his waist before, and Han Yang naturally recognized it. It was indeed the token of the owner of the valley. "You should keep it carefully, the owner of the valley is unconscious now. This is the only token."

"Brother, don't worry, I always carry such an important thing close to my body, even when I sleep." Qi Yue stuffed the things back into his arms, took a sip of tea from the teacup.

Han Yang looked up at the sky, put down his cup and stood up, said: "There are still trivial matters to be dealt with in the valley, so I won't bother my junior here, let's talk about it another day."

"Then don't keep senior brother, don't pay attention to those nonsense, it's just annoyance!" Qi Yue also stood up and cupped his hands with him, "Brother, please keep the token matter a secret."

"Of course, I know the seriousness. The younger brother trusts me so much, I will definitely not talk nonsense with others." Han Yang assured him with a serious expression, then turned and left the courtyard.

As soon as his figure disappeared, the door behind him was opened with a "squeak". He Ling walked out with his waist supported, "Senior Brother Han Yang has left?"

Hearing the movement, Qi Yue turned around and walked to him, helped him to sit down by the stone table, Fang said: "After hearing such important news, naturally I rushed back to make preparations."

"He doesn't look like a bad person, could it be that you guys are thinking about it?" If it is true what my husband and the others said, this person is really scary, full of calculations and schemes.

"The word "bad guy" is not written on the face of a bad guy!" Qi Yue pinched his nose, and sat down beside him, "He has been thinking about the token of the Valley Master for a long time, and now that he knows it is in my hands, he must jump over the wall in a hurry. You won't just watch me use it to take over the position of Valley Master!"

So what if I sit in that position, will I be happier than I am now?He Ling didn't understand very well. For him, as long as he can be with the one he loves, even a lifetime of simple food and drink is fine.

That night, a "guest" came to Qi Yue's yard. He opened his eyes when he heard the movement, and looked sideways at the door. From the gap there, a wisp of smoke was faintly drifting in.

He gently moved his nose and sniffed, then smiled, took out a porcelain bottle from the side of the pillow, put it sideways under He Ling's nose and shook it gently, then withdrew his hand and let him sleep peacefully.

Because Qi Yue often used himself to test poisons when he was young, Qi Yue has long been immune to all poisons. Only the owner of the valley knows about this, and he has kept a hole card for him.

He had just smelled the ingredients in the mist used by the other party, and the effect was very powerful. If the person lying here today was not him, he would definitely be tricked. It's a pity, that person still doesn't know him very well.

The "guest" who came to visit was very cautious. After putting in the drug, he waited for a long time before carefully prying the door bolt. Even though it was confirmed that the person inside was "comatose", he made very little movement.

The moment the door bolt fell to the ground, Qi Yue gently closed his smiling eyes. There was no sound of footsteps in the room, but he could feel the other party's breath approaching the bed little by little. .

He lay there motionless, even his breathing was barely audible, as if he had really been hit by the other party's trick and fell unconscious, so that his breath didn't seem so tense.

The other party stood by the bed and paused for a while, then stretched out his hand and touched him a few times, and then took away the token he had hidden in his bosom. At that moment, Qi Yue noticed that his breathing was heavier, Visibly excited.

"Starting tomorrow, Qidu Valley will change its owner, but it's a pity that it's not you!" After getting the thing he dreamed of, the visitor relaxed a lot, and even stood beside his bed and opened his mouth.

Then Qi Yue felt a gust of wind coming towards him, but barely stopped on his neck, "You can't die, or I'll be too suspicious, anyway, just let you watch me get that position, personally Disciple Qi Yue!"

After saying this, he turned his head and left conveniently, and restored the door as before, as if no one had ever been here before, without leaving any traces.

Qi Yue opened his eyes, and slowly raised the corners of his lips. Now he must have gone to the master's place, right?He turned over and hugged his little husband into his arms. Fortunately, the other party didn't kill them just now, otherwise he would make his death even more miserable. Now, just wait for tomorrow's good show to be staged.

The disciple who has been in charge of changing clothes and cleaning the owner of the valley was frightened today. The owner of the valley who was fine yesterday has lost his breath!No matter how many times he shook his hands to confirm, the result didn't change!

Immediately, his face turned pale, he scrambled out of the valley master's residence, and reported the matter to the senior brother in charge, the matter came so suddenly that no one was even prepared.

The three senior brothers rushed over in a hurry. Gu Zhu, who was in a coma before, had a normal face, now his complexion is iron gray, he is not breathing at all, his body is cold and hard when he reaches out and touches it, obviously he has been dead for a long time.

They knelt down in front of the bed with a "plop", with sad faces, as for who was real and who was fake, only they knew clearly in their hearts.

The death of the owner of the valley is a big event. Naturally, it is necessary to inform the disciples in the valley, and start to deal with the affairs behind him. As soon as the news came out, everyone in the valley was in an uproar!

In most disciples' hearts, they still have great expectations for him to wake up. After all these years, he has existed like a backbone, so how can people accept it like this!

After getting the news, Qi Yue walked in with an ugly expression, He Ling followed him, looking very worried, with one hand holding his arm, as if to comfort him.

"Junior brother, I know you are sad at this moment, and I am so sad." Eldest brother Ye Xin patted him on the shoulder, not knowing what to say other than this, he sighed and gave up the seat beside the bed.

Qi Yue stepped forward and stood there, looking down at the person lying on the bed who didn't say a word, and didn't know what he was thinking. The atmosphere in the whole room was extremely dull, as if it would make people breathless.

"Can the senior brothers go out first, and let A Ling and I stay with him here?" After a long time, Qi Yue opened his mouth, his voice sounded very calm, but his state made people look at him. I can't help but worry.

Several people looked at each other, then they all sighed secretly, and quietly withdrew from the room, as a teacher and apprentice, they wanted to say goodbye.

He Ling held his arm tightly, opened his mouth again and again, but didn't know what to say, and finally he could only say: "Sir, if you want to cry, just cry..."

Qi Yue, who was covered by the hair hanging from the side of his face, couldn't see his expression clearly, turned his head and smiled happily, "What's the matter, Ah Ling, why are you crying for your husband?"
