The heavy dark clouds had dispersed without anyone noticing, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, the vast land was covered with silver moonlight, cold and quiet. Lu Ming and Sang Wusheng walked side by side on the stone path. Both of them were silent, and even the air seemed a little depressed.
After a long time, Sang Wusheng broke the silence and asked: "When will you leave here?"
Lu Ming was startled, then he lowered his eyes and said, "I will leave as soon as possible, at least I have to settle Fu Shu and Jing Mo first."
It's Jing Mo again! Sang Wusheng almost gnashed his teeth. He even took Fushu into consideration, but he, Sang Wusheng, was the only one left out. How could he tolerate this!
Lu Ming was confused by the constant chill beside him. He looked at Sang Wusheng with a strange look and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Sang Wusheng glanced at him coldly, and before Lu Ming could react, he suddenly turned around, used his spiritual energy and flew away in a hurry. He walked in a hurry, his movements seemed a little staggering, and he even accidentally kicked over the flower pot placed beside the stone road, looking funny and embarrassed.
Lu Ming looked at Sang Wusheng's gradually disappearing back, and his calm expression finally showed a crack. Sang Wusheng's expression just now was completely full of anger, did he accidentally say something wrong again?
Lu Ming held his forehead and sighed. It turned out that the protagonist and the villain were always irreconcilable and dangerous. He should think twice before speaking in the future.
Lu Ming returned to the house, tidied up for a while and then lay down on the bed. He had too many things on his mind, and he tossed and turned for a long time before he fell asleep.
In the dream, Lu Ming came to a strange place. It was pitch black all around, and there was endless darkness as far as the eye could see. Lu Ming felt a little uneasy, and he ran forward, but no matter how he ran, he could not get rid of the endless darkness.
Lu Ming ran for a long time before he stopped due to exhaustion. He put his hands on his knees, bent over and gasped. At this moment, a blurry figure suddenly appeared in front of him. The figure became clearer and clearer. Although it was pitch black around him, he could still see the outline of the figure clearly for some reason.
The figure slowly approached him, and there seemed to be a faint scent of medicine in the air. Lu Ming's whole body stiffened, his back felt cold, and his eyes stared straight at the figure in front of him, only ten meters away, his breathing tightened, and he didn't move.
At this moment, the thick black color around him suddenly dissipated slowly like ink dripping into clear water. After a moment, it was replaced by a strange place with birds singing, flowers blooming and trees growing everywhere. Only then did Lu Ming have the opportunity to see the other person's face clearly.
The man's eyebrows were indifferent and calm, and his whole body seemed to be covered with a thick layer of coldness. From a distance, he looked like a lonely lotus, making it impossible for people to get close to him. He was wearing a white cloth shirt, and his long black hair was tied behind him casually with a dark green hairband, swaying slowly in the breeze. His black pupils were calm and peaceful, and he was quietly looking at Lu Ming, with his lips slightly pursed.
When Lu Ming saw his face clearly, his heart skipped a beat and he was shocked beyond words.
This person's appearance is almost exactly the same as his own. It should be said that he looks exactly like He Qingci's own body, except that the other person looks a few years older.
Lu Ming's lips moved, and a familiar name suddenly popped up in his mind, and he blurted out: "You are... He Qingci?"
The man glanced at Lu Ming calmly, and said with his lips slightly parted: "It's me."
Lu Ming's heart tightened, and he asked, "Why are you here?"
He Qingci's eyes turned slightly, and he stretched out his slender fingers, casually fiddling with the flowers that were in full bloom beside him. His eyelashes drooped, and he whispered softly: "This is your dream, and I am just an illusion you imagined."
Lu Ming frowned and asked, "Why did a person I've never seen before appear in my dream?"
He Qingci's fingers suddenly stopped, and after a long while he said, "You look at the mirror all day long, so it's normal for you to think of me. Or maybe there's still a trace of my memory in your body."
Lu Mingmo, this dream is really a bit weird. If his memory really remains in my body, then there should be no problem communicating with him. Thinking this in my heart, I opened my mouth and said, "Why did you suddenly appear today?"
He Qingci said calmly: "You have been in this world for nearly half a year, and you should have known everything I have experienced. He Yuanqi is not my biological father. He brought me into the He family because he valued my qualifications. He took over Liu Xuyun's hand and raised an insect poison in my body so that my foundation could develop firmly and my spiritual energy could be more abundant. He also sealed the spiritual energy in my body so that he could successfully take away this more perfect body. But you must remember that if you cannot get rid of the insect poison in your body within three years, the insect poison will backfire on your body and destroy your foundation. You will never be able to practice the orthodox art of cultivating immortals in your life."
Lu Ming's heart sank, and he asked, "So, after you learned the truth, you didn't want to be possessed by He Yuanqi, so you escaped from the He family and had no choice but to embark on the path of demon cultivation?"
He Qingci's lips curled up slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes: "If I hadn't met Master later and became a demon cultivator, I would have died in the He family and had my body taken away by He Yuanqi."
Lu Ming sighed, not knowing how to answer for a moment. He Qingci glanced at Lu Ming and said, "If you don't want to be controlled by He Yuanqi, then leave here as soon as possible. The farther away the better."
Lu Ming frowned and said, "Now, He Yuanqi seems to have become suspicious of me. His spies are everywhere around me. Not to mention that I am not strong enough to fight him, it is not easy to escape from under his nose."
He Qingci was silent for a moment, then said, "In this room, there is a secret passage that I dug in my early years. If you find it, you can escape from there."
Lu Ming was surprised and asked, "You actually dug a secret passage?"
He Qingci said calmly, "Five years ago, I discovered He Yuanqi's conspiracy. Over the years, I tried every possible way, but I couldn't leave here. I had no choice but to use this method that would least arouse his suspicion. I dug this secret passage and quietly escaped on my fifteenth birthday."
Hearing this, before Lu Ming could even sigh, He Qingci turned and left. After a few steps, he said coldly, "That's all I have to say. I'm leaving."
Immediately afterwards, He Qingci disappeared out of thin air. If it weren't for the faint smell of medicine in the air, Lu Ming would have thought that everything that had just happened was fake.
Lu Ming looked at He Qingci who disappeared out of thin air, and was a little confused. Can you smell something in a dream? This is not scientific at all. Later, he thought about it again. He traveled to this world of immortal cultivation and became He Qingci, which was itself unscientific. He did not doubt it at the moment, and secretly thought in his heart that after waking up from the dream, he would look carefully to see if there was really a secret passage in this house. If not, how could He Qingci avoid the pervert He Yuanqi and escape from the He Mansion smoothly?
◆◆◆
It was a dark and windy night, a perfect time to escape.
Lu Ming called Fu Shu and Jing Mo over and said sternly, "You two should leave with me tonight. This place is no longer safe."
Fu Shu pulled Lu Ming's sleeve with some fear, and asked with a slightly panicked look in her eyes: "Master, has something happened? Why did you leave in such a hurry?"
Before Lu Ming finished speaking, Jing Mo walked forward, stretched out his hand to push away Fu Shu's hand that was holding the corner of Lu Ming's clothes, and said with an unhappy face: "Why are you asking so many questions? If you don't want to die, leave quickly."
When Fu Shu heard this, tears welled up in her eyes immediately. She bit her lip and whispered aggrievedly, "I...I'm sorry, I won't ask anymore."
Lu Ming glared at Jing Mo, then patted Fu Shu's shoulder and explained softly, "Now is not the time to talk about this. The guards were lax today, so I called you and Jing Mo here together. Someone in the He Mansion wants to harm us, so the situation is very dangerous. We can only escape for the time being. I will explain it to you in detail later."
When Fu Shu heard that someone was trying to harm Lu Ming, she said anxiously, "Master, let's leave quickly."
Lu Ming nodded, his eyes fell on Jing Mo who was standing beside him, and he said with some guilt: "Xiao Mo, I had no intention of involving you, but if I don't take you away now, He Yuanqi will definitely threaten me with your life. I don't know what trouble will arise at that time. I hope you don't blame me."
Jing Mo smiled slightly, with a firm light flashing in his black eyes, and said: "Brother, you don't have to blame yourself. This is not your fault in the first place, and I once said that I will never leave your side in this life."
Lu Ming was touched and couldn't help but touch his head and asked, "Is your mother settled?"
Jing Mo nodded and said, "I have sent my mother somewhere else. He Yuanqi will definitely not be able to find her."
Lu Ming finally relaxed his brows and felt relieved. Jing Mo looked around and asked doubtfully, "Brother, where should we go?"
Lu Ming did not answer, but walked to the bedside and reached out to press the mechanism disguised as a wooden carving on the bedside. The mechanism creaked, and a gap suddenly appeared in the middle of the bed. The gap became larger and larger, and after a while, a deep secret passage appeared in front of the three people.
Lu Ming said: "This is the secret passage that leads directly to the outside of He Mansion. I will go in first, and you follow me closely."
The two nodded and followed Lu Ming slowly forward. The cave wall was very damp and rugged, and could only accommodate one person. The three of them walked in a bit of a mess, but fortunately, after walking for about half an hour, a faint light suddenly appeared in front of them. Lu Ming was delighted and walked quickly forward. Sure enough, it was the exit.
The three of them came out of the cave panting, and sat down on the grass, breathing heavily. Fu Shu patted her chest and said intermittently: "Master, the secret passage you dug actually leads directly to the dog hole outside the He Mansion."
Lu Ming laughed dryly, and said with a somewhat uncomfortable look: "Anyway, as long as we can get out, it doesn't matter what hole it is."
Jing Mo burst out laughing, reached out and took the leaves off Lu Ming's head, with a gentle smile in his eyes, he said: "Brother, where are we going next?"
Lu Ming pondered for a moment and said, "For now, we can only seek refuge in Kun-Lai Summit. Yun Xu and Yun Ji told me before they left that if I have any trouble, I can go to Kun-Lai Summit to find them."
Jing Mo frowned and asked, "Can these two be trusted? Will they collude with He Yuanqi and hand you over?"
Lu Ming smiled faintly and said, "Though Yun Ji and Yun Xu are arrogant and domineering, they are very impressed with my talent and aptitude, and they also want to cultivate me. Looking around, Kun-Lai Summit is the only place in the entire cultivation world that dares to compete with the He family. This is the only good place for me to go right now."
Jing Mo and Fu Shu finally felt relieved. They stood up with Lu Ming and prepared to leave and walk towards Kun-Lai Summit.
"Kun-Lai Summit?"
At this moment, a deep and gentle voice suddenly sounded from behind the three people.
When Lu Ming heard this sound, he felt as if he was struck by lightning in an instant. The shock in his heart suddenly exploded like a bomb. His face gradually turned pale and he stood there motionless.
The voice then chuckled and slowly said, "It really is a good place... But Qing Ci left without saying goodbye, and I am very unhappy."
