Chapter 178: It's hard to control yourself when meeting an old friend
When Chi Yanzi was removing the evil miasma from Maidong, Long Sheng was very anxious and kept pacing outside the house, feeling very worried.
He always thought that Mai Dong provoked Yinghuan because of him, and was injured while protecting him. In addition, he believed that Mai Dong and Long Qi admired each other, so he felt guilty and worried, and could no longer sit still.
Especially after meeting Long Qi and his group, this thought made him even more uneasy.
Although Long Qi had not recognized him yet, Long Sheng recognized him at a glance, simply because he had very similar eyebrows and eyes to his father, and had two teardrop moles at the corner of his left eye.
When Long Qi was little, he was often held in his arms. Many people would praise his seventh brother when they saw him, saying that he was so handsome and would definitely become a handsome young man in the future. Especially the two teardrop moles, one red and one brown, made him even more handsome.
Because Long Qi is the youngest in the Long family, everyone in the family dotes on him, and the servants all hold this little boy in their hearts.
But the Long family was murdered, and now only Qi Ge'er is left. In Long Sheng's view, this matter of expanding the Long family should be of vital importance. Qi Ge'er finally has a girl he loves, but he has put her in danger. Now her life is in danger. How can he not feel guilty?
Xiaobai, who was also guarding outside, saw him like this. Although he didn't understand why he was so anxious, he kindly tried to persuade him.
But this advice didn't matter. Long Sheng, who was already nervous, poured out all his thoughts after hearing Xiaobai's comfort.
Long Sheng said this, but Xiaobai was stunned. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He had a look of both laughter and tears on his face, which made Long Sheng even more uneasy.
"You just said that Long Qi and Mai Dong were in love with each other?" Xiao Bai's eyes were wide open with an exaggerated expression, as if he had heard a huge joke.
When Long Sheng saw him like this, he mistakenly thought that Xiaobai had just learned about "this matter", so he looked surprised. He hurried forward to cover his mouth and whispered to him to speak more quietly.
I think it is because Seventh Brother is still young and has just experienced love for the first time. He is shy and doesn't want to make it public, so others don't know about it. If I say it out loud and let him know, he will probably be embarrassed.
Thinking of this, Long Sheng repeatedly told Xiaobai not to say anything, but Xiaobai couldn't help laughing, and his handsome face turned red. He was laughing so hard that he didn't know what to say.
After a long while, Xiaobai finally recovered from his shock and said to Long Sheng, "This... I'm afraid you must have misunderstood..."
Misunderstanding? What's the misunderstanding?
Just when Long Sheng was about to ask, he saw Zhao Wuyang leading Long Qi and four others in from outside. As soon as Xin Yifang entered the hospital, she hurriedly asked Xiaobai about Maidong's condition.
But although Lingxiang Chi Yanzi had been in the house for a long time, he could not hear any sound from the house. He thought that she must have put a talisman on the house. When he asked him so, he really didn't know what was going on inside.
Seeing Xiaobai shake his head, Xinyi was overwhelmed with mixed emotions. She hurried forward, but stopped abruptly just as she raised her hand. Although Lingxiang seemed carefree and heartless, she would never play with another's life. Moreover, she and Maidong were like sisters, so she would definitely do her utmost to treat him.
Since she had put a yellow talisman on the door, it seemed inconvenient to disturb her, but...
But I really can't calm down.
Seeing Xin Yi like this, Long Qi stepped forward, supported his shoulder, and comforted him, "You know Lingxiang's ability. Besides, old man Chi Yanzi is in the house. Maidong will be safe."
Upon hearing this, Xinyi frowned, but after glancing at Long Qi, she forced a smile.
Yes, it will be safe.
When Long Sheng saw this situation, he was puzzled.
It doesn't look like the Seventh Brother likes Maidong, otherwise how could he be so calm? On the contrary, the child he was comforting looked so nervous, as if he was deeply in love with Maidong.
Strange, strange, he is confused.
Seeing Long Sheng's puzzled and surprised expression, Xiaobai almost laughed out loud. But Long Sheng was anxious and couldn't help but walked forward.
"Seventh Brother..."
Long Qi's chest tightened. Although he hadn't heard that name in a long time, he clearly remembered that when he was a child, only his family would call him that. He turned around and looked at Long Sheng blankly, but for a moment he couldn't recognize who he was.
"What did you call me just now, Senior?"
Seeing him turn around and respond to him, Long Sheng's eyes were slightly red, and his eyes were sparkling: "Seventh Brother, it's me, I'm Uncle Sheng!"
After hearing this, Long Qi just frowned and looked at Long Sheng for a long time without any movement. But after a while, he saw tears in his eyes and a tearful look on his face.
He recognized the person in front of him. It was the one who often carried him to the market when he was a child...
"Uncle Sheng!"
Long Qi hurried forward and grabbed Long Sheng's arm.
"Uncle Sheng! Is it really you?!"
He was not sure how to recognize him. In his impression, Uncle Sheng was a young man in his prime, but the man in front of him, although his features were similar, looked very old.
Hearing Long Qi calling him like this, Long Sheng's heart surged with tears streaming down his face. He quickly responded, "It's me! Brother Qi! It's me! It's your Uncle Sheng!"
Long Qi's face was also filled with tears, and he hugged Long Sheng in front of him.
"I thought I was the only one left in the Long family! I was the only one left!"
Long Qi felt a mixture of sadness and joy. He was happy that he could still meet his family in his lifetime, but he was sad because he had no idea what Long Sheng had been through over the years to turn such a high-spirited young man into such an old man with wrinkles all over his face!
The two of them hugged each other and cried bitterly, which made everyone around them feel heartbroken. However, Banxia looked puzzled and confused - what had happened to these two people suddenly like this?
This was not surprising. Everyone present, except her, knew something about Long Qi's past. Seeing this situation, they could guess roughly what had happened.
Just as Banxia was puzzled, she heard a creaking sound and the door of Maidong's room opened. Lingxiang and Chi Yanzi came out. Chi Yanzi looked exhausted and was actually leaning on Lingxiang. Seeing this, everyone rushed forward to support him and took him off Lingxiang.
Xinyi naturally wanted to ask about Maidong's health, but seeing Chi Yanzi like this, she found it difficult to ask for a moment. Lingxiang knew that he was anxious, so she forced herself to be cheerful and said to him with a smile:
"Thanks to Senior Brother Chi Yanzi's dedicated efforts to saving Maidong, he is now out of danger."
Although the words were spoken lightly, seeing the two people's appearance, Xinyi knew that it must be extremely dangerous. Even though she wanted to go into the house to see Maidong, she resisted the urge and helped Chi Yanzi to the next room to rest.
…
"So that's how it is..." Lingxiang suddenly realized.
No wonder Long Sheng's swordsmanship looked so familiar, it turned out to be the Long Family Sword Manual. However, he didn't expect that there were four parts of the Long Family Sword Manual, and Long Qi had only practiced two of them, and they were the two parts that were disrupted by Long Sheng.
What was even more unexpected was that the person who entrusted the sword manual to Master Fuyin was actually Long Sheng!
Long Qi was also surprised. No wonder he felt that the sword manual was incoherent when he was practicing it, as if there was a fault in the middle. No matter how he practiced, he couldn't get the point. It turned out that what he practiced was only the 24th and 25th parts of the Long family's sword technique.
Not to mention whether it would be a problem to practice the first part or not, the two sword techniques are naturally not connected because there is a gap between them.
These four sword manuals were passed down by the ancestors of the Long family. They are the first "Dragon Chasing Sword Technique", the second "Dragon Entangling Sword Technique", the third "Dragon Slaying Sword Technique", and the fourth "Dragon Controlling Sword Technique".
The Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword was originally practiced according to the Long family's inherited sword manual to achieve unity with the sword spirit and the swordsman. The four Long family sword manuals were originally kept in a secret room within the Long family's residence, but because a family member needed to practice the second volume and the patriarch needed to comprehend the fourth, they were removed and placed outside.
It was because of this that when the demons massacred the Long family, Long Sheng was only able to take out two or four of the pieces.
The Long family's secret room was filled with traps, and only the Long family's head knew how to get through. The two sword manuals were placed there, seemingly in a very safe place.
The reason why An Wen was mentioned was because the Long family, as a demon-hunting family at that time, had a great reputation in the demon-hunting world. As the saying goes, a tall tree attracts the wind, so naturally it would attract the jealousy of some people with ulterior motives.
The Seven-Star Dragon Abyss had long been psychic and recognized the Dragon family bloodline. It was well known at the time that only people from the Dragon family could use it, so the first things to be taken were the four sword manuals.
Although these four sword manuals can only exert their full power when used together with the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss, just like Long Sheng before, if practiced properly, even an ordinary sword can have great power to exorcise demons.
only……
"I remember that you, Seventh Brother, escaped with Wu Brother. Why are you the only one here now?"
Long Sheng was very puzzled. The mansion was in great chaos at that time. He was only surrounded by two children, the fifth and seventh children of the Long family. Thinking that saving one was as good as saving one, and saving a pair was as good as saving a pair, he quietly sent the two out through the dog hole.
After some simple arrangements, he was thinking of going back to rescue the sixth brother of the Long family, but he met the head of the Long family who was holding two sword manuals.
At that time, the head of the family repeatedly warned him to keep the two sword manuals well, so he was forced to return to the dog hole. But when he went to look for them again, the two children were nowhere to be found.
When Long Qi heard this, his face was full of pain and he frowned. It was a long time before he spoke.
It turned out that Long Sheng had placed the two children in a depression in the bushes. Naturally, the two of them stayed there quietly at first, but at that time, some demon soldiers came out, so Brother Wu took little Long Qi and ran away. Later, in order to protect Long Qi, he placed Long Qi in a mountain cave, and ran out himself to lead the demon soldiers away.
"I saw with my own eyes those monsters killing Brother Wu, and I..." Long Qi's face was full of tears, and his expression was full of pain.
Because he was afraid, weak and incompetent, he could only watch as a group of demon soldiers brutally ravaged Brother Wu. However, little Brother Wu did not even utter a single cry, just to protect Xiao Longqi.
"I waited there for a long time, until there was no sound. I didn't dare to go out. I could only watch Brother Wu's corpse... I..."
Having said this, Long Qi could no longer control himself. At this moment, a hint of coolness came from his hand, bringing his thoughts back.
It turned out to be Lingxiang, and she was now holding Long Qi's hand.
This was the first time she had seen Long Qi like this. Although she was heartbroken, her expression was extremely calm.
Perhaps it was Lingxiang's calmness that made Long Qi's heart slowly calm down. However, he frowned and held Lingxiang's hand with his backhand.
Why are her hands so cold...
Lingxiang's hands were not like those of the ladies from wealthy families. Although small, they were a bit rough.
This was the feeling he had during one of the few times he held her hand, but he didn't think her hands were ugly; instead, he felt extremely happy.
Her hands seemed to be the most magical magic in the world, which could make his heart beat fast and calm him down.
But Lingxiang didn't rush out like she did before, but just let him hold her hand like this, with a normal expression on her face.
Looking at the two people in front of him, Long Sheng finally understood why Xiaobai had such a strange expression at that time. It turned out that he was wrong, but...
But isn’t she Seventh Brother’s master?
Although they seem to be a good match in age, they are master and disciple after all. With this kind of relationship, what's the point of doing it under the moon and in front of flowers?
This is against the moral code and etiquette!
Just when Long Sheng felt something was wrong, Long Qi suddenly asked Lingxiang about Maidong.
"Why are you and Maidong not staying in Yuanqing Sect? Why are you running out here?"
Lingxiang wanted to pull her hand back, but Long Qi held it tightly. She could only sigh and say, "That little girl is just itching for love and insisted on going to look for Xinyi, so she sneaked down the mountain. I only came out to look for her."
Long Qi stared at Lingxiang for a long moment, then smiled mischievously, "Do you think I've only known you for a few days? Even if Maidong had ten times the courage, she wouldn't dare to sneak down the mountain. I'd rather believe you were the one who instigated her decision to go down the mountain. Besides, if she had sneaked down the mountain, how would she have known Xinyi's whereabouts?"
Lingxiang was surprised to hear this. Long Qi was very stupid before. Whenever he encountered any problems, he could just find an excuse to get away with it. How long has he become so smart after going down the mountain to gain experience?
She looked up at Long Qi, but was stunned when she saw the sparkle in his eyes. Long Qi today seemed different from before. When they first met, although Long Qi was still open-minded and uninhibited, his eyes were dark and lifeless. When did he become so full of energy?
Looking at Lingxiang who was in a trance in front of him, Long Qi's eyes were full of smiles. He felt that Lingxiang was more and more beautiful, and he was even more happy. No matter her little calculations, her teasing, or her absent-minded look in front of him, they all made him intoxicated and obsessed, unable to extricate himself.
If not...
If Uncle Sheng wasn't here, he wouldn't be able to control himself...
No matter what his Lingxiang wants to do or what plans she has, he will definitely go with her without hesitation!
Meanwhile, Long Sheng, who was standing by, seemed completely oblivious. He simply stared intently at Long Qi and Ling Xiang, his mind tangled in the relationship between the two...
