Chapter 353: Things and people are different.
Looking at the startled man and woman, Liu Xia shook his head helplessly.
Wouldn't it be surprising to see each other here? After all, they hadn't seen each other for three years.
Liu Xia was the one who left Yuanqing before Long Qi.
In the disaster three years ago, Banxia saved Liu Xia by blocking Hui Wu's fatal attack for him.
Fortunately, Banxia was protected by Yun Zhongjun and escaped this fatal disaster. However, although she saved her life, her soul was not able to return to its place.
Zhenren Donghui believed that the spiritual threads emitted from the Bagua plate were Pinellia's soul.
Liu Xia resolutely decided to go down the mountain to collect the herbs, and Lian Qiao, as a good friend of Pinellia, naturally would not sit idly by. Thus, the two of them traveled together for three years.
At that time, the world was full of zombies. When the two of them teamed up, they searched for the remaining soul of Banxia while subduing the zombies.
But even though they found a trace of the remaining soul, they were helpless. Fortunately, they met Xinyi and Zhao Wuyang who were coming down the mountain. They learned from them that the soul needed the soul-guiding lamp to collect it. Liu Xia then went to Ganzhu Temple to ask for the treasure.
Although Banxia's soul was badly fragmented, the two of them were still searching for her. After all, every piece of her soul fragment was firmly tied by Yun Zhongjun's magic.
You can find them all by following the spiritual threads of the Bagua Plate. Even though there are many broken souls, you just need to go to a few more places.
Even if there are mountains, seas and humans between them, Liu Xia will do it without hesitation as long as he can save Banxia.
Three years passed in the blink of an eye.
During these three years, Liu Xia and Lian Qiao had climbed mountains and crossed rivers, dived into the sea, and exorcised demons and gathered souls, their cultivation increasing significantly. Lian Qiao had even achieved spiritual connection with the Mirror Flower and Water Moon, and could now use it with ease.
This silver mirror that bounced back all of Long Qi's magic was actually made from Lian Qiao's magic treasure.
The two of them went through countless dangers, and Banxia's soul was almost intact. Only one spiritual thread was left on the Bagua plate, but it was this spiritual thread that made Liu and Xia think a lot.
If you follow the previous spiritual thread, you will be able to find the soul.
However, although this spiritual thread extended out, every time it was followed, it always lost its direction halfway, as if the broken soul had disappeared. But once it stopped, the spiritual thread would reappear soon after.
Liu Xia and Lian Qiao didn't know what was going on, but they couldn't figure it out for the time being, so they decided to go back to the sect first and find Master Donghui to answer their questions.
So he met Long Qi who had just come out of seclusion.
But Liu Xia now had an unshaven beard and a weathered face, not at all as dashing as before. Lian Qiao, on the other hand, was dressed in Zen robes, looked tired, and had lost his former savagery.
Faced with these two people, Long Qi didn't dare to recognize them for a while.
Three years is not a long time, but it changed everyone.
After exchanging pleasantries, the two sides explained the reason and found out that they both wanted to return to Yuanqing, so they decided to travel together.
After a few days of travel, they finally arrived in Guyang.
Long Qi didn't go directly to Jiuque Mountain, but entered the city first. Lian Qiao felt strange and looked at Liu Xia for questioning, but the latter just shook his head and gestured to follow.
Walking through the streets and alleys, there are few pedestrians on the road, and the hustle and bustle of the past is gone.
Lian Qiao sighed when he saw this.
She still remembered that when she first joined the sect, she had stayed in Guyang City for a few days. Back then, Guyang City was bustling with activity, with people constantly walking on the streets and vendors hawking their wares. Now, however, it was completely deserted.
The three of them walked in silence until they reached a house, where Long Qi finally stopped. Looking up, he saw a plaque with three characters written on it: Youranju.
Lian Qiao knew most of the Youran Residence from rumors, but she had never been there and had no idea it was a pharmacy owned by Lingxiang. She didn't understand why Long Qi came here, but the plaque on the door made her suspicious.
"Huh?"
"What's wrong?" Liu Xia, who was feeling sad, turned around and asked when he heard Lian Qiao's voice.
Although there are traces to follow in the search for Pinellia ternata's Soul-Broken, it is not all smooth sailing. Many times, it is the delicacy of Forsythia suspensa that prevents us from missing it.
Lian Qiao always finds something wrong, so Liu Xia never ignores Lian Qiao's words.
"Most of the shops along the way seem rather run-down. But look here! The front is swept clean, even the signboard is spotless." Lian Qiao pinched her chin and frowned. "If there are people here, why is the shop closed? It's only the afternoon now!"
Hearing this, Long Qi hurried forward and with a gentle push, the door opened. He rushed in and found the items inside neatly arranged, exactly as he remembered.
Long Qi's chest was beating like a drum as he walked towards the inner courtyard step by step.
Could it be spiritual incense?
Is Lingxiang back?
Long Qi couldn't suppress his inner excitement. He clenched his fists and trembled uncontrollably. After hesitating for a long while, he pushed open the door to the backyard.
The courtyard wall is still there, the hammock is swinging gently, and I don’t know who has repaired the fence that was damaged by the rat infestation last time. The huge water tank stands quietly in the courtyard, completely oblivious to the chaos of the world.
There are just many unknown weeds in the medicinal field, which is lush and full of vitality, completely unlike the dull human world.
The birds and insects that used to sing are now silent, and the figure that I remembered did not appear.
Long Qi's shoulders drooped, and he sighed softly. He walked to the hammock with a lonely look, sat down, and swung gently.
He closed his eyes, listened to the creaking sound, and felt the wind passing by his ears, as if he was back in that summer.
Lingxiang loved this hammock very much and never allowed him to sit on it, but he always forgot. Whenever this happened, Lingxiang would yell at him to leave while checking the hammock with concern to see if it was damaged.
In fact, he did it on purpose. He wanted to make Lingxiang angry and make her attack him, so that the two of them would get closer.
Long Qi couldn't help but chuckle, as if Lingxiang was whispering in his ear again.
Looking at Long Qi who was immersed in it, Lian Qiao was really confused.
"What is he doing?"
She really didn't understand why Long Qi was like this. He looked like a fool...
"Miss Lingxiang is the shopkeeper here. Long Qi once lived here."
Liu Xia explained that he had the good fortune to come here once, but he didn't expect that in just three years, everything had changed.
"hiss!"
Lian Qiao took a long breath, which was the sound she usually made when she was surprised.
"This reckless fellow actually lives with Elder Fu Cang! Are they married?"
Liu Xia couldn't help but roll her eyes - this young lady always has such a tricky perspective on things...
Her words interrupted my sad mood.
"You are finally back."
At this moment, a woman's voice sounded. Long Qi suddenly opened his eyes, jumped off the hammock, and looked in the direction of the voice.
"It's the inner room!"
This voice sounds so familiar, could it really be Lingxiang who has returned?
The door of the inner room opened and a man walked out.
"Sister!" Liu Xia exclaimed, "Why are you here?"
It’s Liu Lan!
