Lu Ming walked forward, turned the unconscious man over, carefully examined his charred face, and said in surprise: "He Qingqiu!"
233 nodded, looked around for a moment, and then said, "It seems that a giant beast attacked him. Many of the fallen trees around have deep impact marks."
Lu Ming looked at the wounds on He Qingqiu's body and said, "Indeed, there are bloody scratches on his back and burns on his body. I think it should be a spirit beast with fire attributes."
233 looked at the unconscious He Qingqiu with a tangled look, and said, "Master, do you want to save him?"
Lu Ming said calmly, "Since God has allowed me to encounter him, I should be the one to save him. People who practice Taoism should follow the way of God no matter what."
233 sighed, "The master looks more like a monk than when I first arrived."
Lu Ming rolled his eyes at it and said, "Open the space for me."
233 reluctantly opened the space and pulled Lu Ming and He Qingqiu into it. In order to prevent He Qingqiu from waking up, Lu Ming waved his hand to seal his spiritual consciousness and five senses, which made him fall into a deep sleep. Lu Ming thought about it, took out the elixir to repair the wound from the space ring and gave it to him, then infused spiritual energy into his body, and then took him out of the space.
Lu Ming removed the spell that restricted the five senses, reached out and patted He Qingqiu's cheek, and said, "Wake up."
He Qingqiu groaned in his sleep, his eyeballs moved, and he slowly opened his eyes, with the confusion of just waking up. When he saw the person in front of him clearly, his pupils shrank instantly, and he said in a slightly hoarse voice: "You saved me..."
Lu Ming glanced at him calmly, stood up, turned around and left. He Qingqiu gritted his teeth and propped up his shaky body, walked up quickly, grabbed Lu Ming's sleeve, and whispered, "Thank you."
Lu Ming paused, nodded, and said nothing more. He Qingqiu held Lu Ming's hand and still did not let go. Lu Ming frowned and looked at him in confusion, and asked, "What else?"
He Qingqiu looked at Lu Ming's slightly indifferent eyes, and for some reason he felt a little depressed. His eyes dimmed, and he lowered his head slightly, and said softly: "I have left Kun-Lai Sect."
Lu Ming was surprised. Didn't He Qingqiu go through so much trouble to get into Kun-Lai? Now he was willing to leave? Lu Ming recalled the last time he met He Qingqiu, when he was beaten by a group of fellow disciples. He couldn't help but guess that He Qingqiu must have been unable to survive in Kun-Lai, so he resolutely left Kun-Lai Mountain.
Seeing that Lu Ming looked calm and had no intention of continuing to ask him questions, He Qingqiu could only swallow the bitterness in his heart and said, "After my father passed away, the He family lost its backbone and fell into chaos. The major families had long been resentful of the He family, so they united to deal with the He family. Now the He Mansion has fallen, and I have to go home. Are you... willing to go back with me?"
Hearing this, Lu Ming's eyes flashed with sarcasm, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He whispered, "Why should I go back?"
He Qingqiu clenched his fists, and said with a hint of forbearance: "I know I am not qualified to ask you to go back. My mother and I owed you a lot in the past, and I am willing to pay you back with my life. If the He family continues to decline like this, it will eventually be completely destroyed. Now the only person who can lead the He family to revive is you."
Lu Ming said calmly, "What does the He family have to do with me? Since the day I left the He Mansion, I have cut all ties with the He family. There is no need to mention this matter again."
The light in He Qingqiu's eyes gradually dimmed, and he lowered his arms dejectedly, looking at Lu Ming with a look of pleading and regret. But he knew that the man in front of him would never change his decision easily, and now he asked him to go back, which seemed abrupt. But no matter what, the only hope for the He family to stand up again was this man, and even if he died, he would take him back.
Seeing He Qingqiu letting go of his sleeves, Lu Ming took out his spirit storage device and flew into the sky, heading towards Hongliu Ridge. Seeing this, He Qingqiu had no choice but to quickly use his spiritual energy to support his weak body and try to keep up with Lu Ming, who was more than ten meters away from him.
233 lay on Luming's shoulder and said helplessly: "Master, this kid followed you and flew over."
Lu Ming glanced at He Qingqiu calmly and said, "If he wants to follow, let him follow."
233 Seeing He Qingqiu gritting his teeth and holding on, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place. The mother and son wanted to kill you at the beginning, but I didn't expect that the situation would change and now they have to beg you for help."
Lu Ming was silent, but he was thinking about something else. More than ten years ago, when he took Jing Mo and Fu Shu to escape from the He family, he was blocked by He Yuanqi halfway. At that time, he was knocked unconscious by Jing Mo without warning. When he woke up again, Jing Mo told him that He Yuanqi lost control and escaped, and he was blind. Now thinking about it, he was so easy to deceive at that time. He believed the explanation with so many doubts without hesitation. It seems that because of the emergency, Sang Wusheng, who turned into Jing Mo, accidentally stimulated the ability of the demons, which made He Yuanqi unable to escape death. In addition, the situation was urgent at that time, so Sang Wusheng could only knock him unconscious quietly, which avoided the exposure of his identity. When he woke up, he was blind. Thinking about it, he thought that it was inextricably linked to Sang Wusheng. Thinking of this, Lu Ming felt a little painful in his heart. In the final analysis, he was too stupid. He was fooled around without knowing it. This deception lasted for more than ten years. It really made him, who had lived two lives, feel chilled and heartbroken.
Lu Ming was so worried that he didn't even think about paying attention to He Qingqiu who was following him. After flying for about two hours, he turned around and found that He Qingqiu was still following him, and he kept a distance of four or five meters.
He Qingqiu had been seriously injured before, and now he had been using his spiritual energy to fly for a long time. His body was already exhausted, and his spiritual energy was almost overdrawn. Now he continued to follow Lu Ming, relying entirely on his last breath to hold on. He suppressed the fishy sweetness that kept coming from his throat, and his face became paler. Over the years, he had not lived very well in Kun-Lai. His originally slightly fat figure had now become very thin, and his Taoist robes looked extremely loose, and from a distance it seemed as if a gust of wind could blow him down. Lu Ming was a little surprised. The injuries on this man's body were not fake, and it was unexpected that he could keep flying for so long.
At this moment, 233 suddenly jumped out, habitually lying on Lu Ming's shoulder, and said: "Master, I just checked the information carefully. There is a treasure hidden in the He family's treasury, called Xuexi Grass. This thing can cure all kinds of poisons. It is a unique spiritual herb in the world. He Yuanqi treasured it so much that he hid it in the treasury and was reluctant to eat it. He was just waiting to take over your body and then take it to cultivate a body that is immune to all poisons."
Lu Ming's heart moved, and he whispered, "Are you serious?"
233 said confidently: "Master, please believe me. The He family treasure house has always been opened only by the head of the family. If you agree to let He Qingqiu return to the He family to take charge of the power, then correspondingly, the He family treasure house will be yours. In this way, won't the Blood River Grass be easily obtained?"
Lu Ming said in a deep voice: "If the Blood River Grass really has such an effect, then this trip to the He Mansion is unavoidable. Fu Shu was poisoned by Xu Chouyan, and then was infiltrated by Sang Wusheng's evil spirit. In the final analysis, it was because the residual poison in her body could not be expelled that she became mentally retarded. If we can find the Blood River Grass and give it to Fu Shu, I think it should be able to cure her poison."
233 nodded and said, "Now that the Shennong Ding has not appeared in the world, one way is to lead the soul out of the body and then find a suitable body to inject the soul into it; the other way is to find this unique Blood River Grass. Not to mention how difficult the first way is, according to the owner's character, I think he is unwilling to kill innocent people. Now it seems that this Blood River Grass is the only way to save Fu Shu."
Hope surged in Lu Ming's heart. If he could get the Blood River Grass and save Fu Shu, returning to the He Mansion would not be a big deal. He immediately stopped, turned around and looked at He Qingqiu not far away, and said lightly: "How long will you stay with me?"
He Qingqiu's lips turned blue and his face turned pale. He forced himself to stay strong and said, "I'll follow you until you agree."
Lu Ming smiled slightly and said, "I can go back with you, but I must take the position of Patriarch of the He Family."
He Qingqiu didn't expect Lu Ming to agree so readily, and said in surprise: "Of course..."
Before he finished his words, He Qingqiu's eyes suddenly rolled back and he fell to the ground.
Lu Ming quickly threw the soul storage device at He Qingqiu, and only then caught his falling body. Then, he sealed his five senses again and threw him into space.
Lu Ming sighed softly, and said helplessly as he flew: "Even if He Qingqiu was wrong, he was truly doing it for the good of the He family. The He family is his home, and he can have a home to stay at even if he suffers outside. It's just that the world is so big, and there is still no place for me to stay..."
233 Hearing the loneliness and sadness in Lu Ming's words, he felt sad for his master. After thinking about it, he still had to blame that damn Sang Wusheng for deceiving his master so badly. One day, he must get revenge for his master.
※※※
Lu Ming traveled day and night and arrived at He Mansion five days later.
The He Mansion was still the same as when Lu Ming left. The solemn and magnificent gate exuded a solemn atmosphere. The whole He Mansion was surrounded by a lingering mist. It didn't look much different. I didn't expect that after more than ten years, I would set foot in this place again one day.
Lu Ming released He Qingqiu from the space and released the spell that sealed his spiritual consciousness, and He Qingqiu slowly woke up.
He opened his eyes and looked around confusedly. He got up from the ground and his vision gradually became clear. "Are we there yet?"
Lu Ming nodded and said, "Let's go."
He Qingqiu hadn't been home for several years, and his eyes were filled with joy and excitement. He quickly ran up, knocked on the door, and shouted, "Is anyone there?"
There was a sudden commotion inside the gate. After a moment, someone shouted fiercely through the door: "Who the hell is this?!"
He Qingqiu was stunned for a moment, took two steps back, looked at Lu Ming in confusion, and then said: "I am He Qingqiu, my brother and I are back, please open the door quickly."
The people inside obviously didn't believe this and sneered, "Don't talk nonsense. The eldest and second young masters are now practicing magic in Kun-Lai, which is dozens of days away from here...ah!"
The door was suddenly blown open by a huge impact force, and the people inside were caught off guard and flew several meters away, lying on the ground screaming loudly.
He Qingqiu stared in amazement at Lu Ming who was calmly taking back his magic weapon, and was speechless for a moment.
Lu Ming walked into the He Mansion expressionlessly and said calmly, "Go in."
He Qingqiu hurriedly followed him in, secretly sighing in his heart that his elder brother's actions were really simple and rough.
