Chapter 372: Pear Snow Falls on Qingwei Peak Again
It has been half a month since the Qingwei Peak formation was solved, but after searching the entire mountain, no trace of Long Qi was found.
Liu Xia reported the matter to Master Fuyin. After some calculations, Master Fuyin said that Long Qi was still in Qingwei Peak. However, even if the disciples of the sect were dispatched to search all over the mountain, they still found nothing.
These days, Liu Xia and Lian Qiao have been living in Qingwei Peak, hoping to find some clues. Today, Liu Xia went to the mountains again, as he was really worried about Long Qi's safety.
Three years ago, Banxia had an accident and her body was sealed in Langhuan Pavilion by Master Donghui.
Although Langhuan Pavilion is a library, it is an important place for Yuanqing. It is filled with numerous mechanisms and arrays, relying on the spiritual veins of the place where it is located. It is also the place for cultivation, so placing Banxia's body there is the best strategy.
As a good friend of Banxia, Lianqiao naturally wanted to help her, so she followed Liu Xia to collect Banxia's soul.
Over the past two or three years, the two have become friends, but this does not mean that Lian Qiao can stand Liu Xia. It is not just because of Banxia, but more because he can't stand his temper.
"Pedantic and old-fashioned!" Lian Qiao sighed as he looked at the dilapidated old pear tree.
Whenever the two of them had a dispute, Liu Xia would always say, "Master said...Master said..." or what my uncles and aunts said, or what was written in the book. In the past three years, Lian Qiao's ear calluses were three feet thick.
"How could such a good person lose his brain?"
Thinking of this, Lian Qiao couldn't help but shook his head.
However, although Lian Qiao disliked Liu Xia, she was still impressed by his persistence in Banxia - Liu Xia was indeed loyal.
A noble young man, faced with such a situation, did not waste any time, and even traveled through mountains and rivers and endured hardships for the sake of the woman he loved. This kind of courage is worthy of recognition, not to mention his attitude towards friends.
"Tsk tsk tsk..." Lian Qiao smacked her lips and looked up at the old pear tree.
The once lush old pear tree now has only branches left, looking very desolate.
Ever since Yuan Qing was martyred three years ago, this pear tree has never had any new green leaves. Now it is almost May, but there is still no sign of sprouting.
"Oh..." Lian Qiao couldn't help but sigh.
Half a month ago, the Qingwei Peak mountain formation was suddenly broken, and Liu Xia and Lian Qiao hurried up the mountain.
That was Liu Xia's third time to come to Qingwei Peak, but at that time Qingwei Peak was lush and green, unlike now, which is bare with only a few silver pines standing sparsely, looking very lonely.
Liu Xia sighed for a while, not caring whether Lian Qiao listened or not. He just kept talking about how vibrant Qingwei Peak was at that time, chattering like an old man.
Lian Qiao said nothing. After all, this was her first time climbing Qingwei Peak. She had never seen its original appearance, so how could she know what changes had taken place in it?
However, after years of experience in the mortal world, Lian Qiao could also imagine it. After all, there were thousands of miles of barren land at the foot of the mountain, with dead trees and rotten stumps everywhere, and the whole place was desolate, which was evident.
When the two of them reached the mountain, there was nothing else except Luo Li's broken long staff, let alone Long Qi's figure.
After searching everywhere for Long Qi in Xianyunju, the two of them had to discuss a strategy.
But before she could figure out what was going on, she heard Liu Xia sighing again, saying that everything was the same as before, but people were different. This made Lian Qiao roll her eyes repeatedly.
Having become a monk, he's a secluded person, yet he still spends his days playing the game of those playboys. Who isn't suffering in this world? Who isn't facing difficulties these days? Yet, this pedantic old scholar is easily moved by the sight of something. He doesn't realize that being a good-for-nothing scholar is truly worldly-wise. He truly seems to have never seen the world.
However, Lian Qiao still suppressed the contempt in her heart, and took advantage of Liu Xia's opportunity to catch her breath to say that the matter should be reported to the acting head, thus interrupting Liu Xia's endless sorrow.
Upon hearing that the Qingwei Peak formation had been broken, Master Fuyin wanted to personally investigate. However, as he was now serving as the head of the sect, he was burdened with numerous and complex matters, making it difficult to escape. In desperation, after some deductions, he dispatched Han Yang and several trusted disciples to the mountain.
They searched everywhere on the mountain, but couldn't find any trace of Long Qi. Although they knew that there must be something fishy going on, they were helpless and could only go back to report and make further plans.
Liu Xia was stubborn and could not accept that Long Qi disappeared in such an unclear manner, so he stayed at Qingwei Peak and searched all over the mountain unwaveringly every day, day after day, without giving up.
Lian Qiao understood why Liu Xia was like this.
They once passed by a mountain village, but the owner turned out to be a zombie. Later, they learned that it was the owner's soul that had possessed the zombie. The owner and his wife were deeply in love, but they were separated by life and death. Unexpectedly, his soul had nowhere to go, so it possessed someone else's body.
Things like this have been happening all the time over the past few years.
What happened with Banxia had already happened, and after experiencing all this at the foot of the mountain, he was used to seeing people parting ways in the world, and the feeling of not wanting to be separated from his close ones became even stronger.
Although he has entered the Taoist sect, he is still a mortal after all, and it is inevitable that he will have seven emotions and six desires.
Just as Lian Qiao was bored, holding her chin up and wondering if she should go look for some clues, Liu Xia also happened to enter the yard. She quickly stood up to greet him. Needless to say, just by looking at Liu Xia's dejected look, she knew that today was another day of fruitless results.
Qingwei Peak was inexplicably shrouded in golden light, and the magic circle suddenly disappeared. The strangeness was self-evident. How could we find clues in just one or two days?
However, Lianqiao finally understood why Banxia admired Lingxiang so much.
Who would have thought that these seemingly unrelated yet closely connected plans were set up by a little girl of Lingxiang's age?
Elder Fu Cang is so talented despite his young age!
Just as Lian Qiao was sighing, a strange sound suddenly came from the sky. At first glance, it sounded like a baby crying, but when he listened carefully, it sounded like the long cry of some bird.
Lian Qiao and Liu Xia had never heard such a sound before. They looked in the direction of the sound but saw nothing.
At this moment, Lian Qiao suddenly discovered that the spiritual thread on the Bagua plate on Liu Xia's waist, which was originally obscure, became unusually clear.
"This...what is going on?" Liu Xia quickly picked up the Bagua plate. Although he had doubts, he couldn't suppress his inner excitement.
The thing being pulled by this silk thread should be the last wisp of Banxia's soul.
Lian Qiao didn't know why this happened. Could it be because of the strange sound in the sky?
Just as the two were surprised, a petal floated and landed on Liu Xia's Bagua plate. They looked up and saw that the originally bare pear tree had become lush and green!
The branches are covered with white flowers and green leaves, as if all the flowers and leaves that have not bloomed for three years have bloomed at once.
A breeze blew, and the petals fell with the wind, scattered here and there, like white snow.
