Chapter 375: The Bright Moonlight Illuminates People’s Hearts
The moon was as dark as water, and the stars were scattered all over the place. Long Qi sat alone on the roof of Youyuan Palace. The breeze blew by, the shadows of the trees danced, and his messy hair fluttered in the wind.
The jade flute reflects the clear sunlight, and my fingers stroke the blowing holes. The warm touch seems to have a familiar warmth.
Long Qi grabbed a nearby wine jar and took a gulp. The sweet, spicy taste sobered him up considerably. He carefully placed the jade flute in his arms and picked up a scroll from the side. He studied it for a long moment before sighing.
Is the person Zhao Wuyang met Lingxiang?
Everything happened after the phoenix's cry, and the only person who could be related to the phoenix was Lingxiang. After all, she had actually tricked a phoenix egg away from the evil beast.
But if it really was Lingxiang, why was she so secretive and refused to show herself? Could it be that she had other plans?
If there is any change in Long Qi over the years, it is that he knows how to think twice before acting and is no longer as reckless as before.
Even though he was agitated, he didn't dare speak rashly. After all, he couldn't be sure who that person was. Even if it was Lingxiang, any rash action would only disrupt her plans. But if it wasn't Lingxiang, she must still be in the Demon Lord's hands. He couldn't act rashly, otherwise it would only put Lingxiang in greater danger.
Long Qi couldn't gamble with Lingxiang's life, which was why he didn't tell her the whole story about the hanging scroll when he was in Wuji Palace earlier.
Lingxiang had put so much thought into the arrangements and had specifically instructed Luoli to do so, clearly not wanting to involve too many people. Furthermore, Fairy Tumi had closed the Painting Realm, so even if she told him about it, no one would believe her. And...
And according to Fairy Tumi, the reason why Lingxiang gave her the Hanyu Pill was because she was planning to let her kill the Demon Lord - only by being a human can one slay the demon.
But even the former sect leader, with his cultivation, was defeated by the Demon Lord. How could he fight against the Demon Lord with only his current abilities? How could he rescue Lingxiang?
Besides, even if the Ghost Gate is re-established, without a guide, he, as a mortal, would have no idea where to go, let alone set foot in the ghost realm, let alone the demon realm.
Thinking of this, Long Qi felt very depressed and picked up the wine jar to drink again. However, as the saying goes, "drinking to drown your sorrows only makes you more sorrowful." After a few sips, he found that his heart was even more irritable.
Long Qi held up the wine, feeling so depressed that he didn't know who to confide in. When the wine reached his lips, he put it down again.
The collision between the wine jar and the green tiles made a dull sound, followed by the rhythm between the rubble.
The sound was very clear, and the pleasant rhythm lingered in Long Qi's ears, making him think of the crisp sound that followed every time Lingxiang jumped around.
In my memory, Lingxiang always had a string of bells hanging around her waist, alternating between copper and silver, the copper bells tinkling and the silver bells rustling. Whenever I heard them, my mind would become calm, and every time I saw that smiling little girl, I couldn't help but want to tease her.
Long Qi couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, the confusion in his eyes gradually dissipated, and his mind became clear.
Although everything is so complicated and confusing, Zhao Wuyang is right about one thing today. Even if that person is not Lingxiang, judging from his Lotus Heart Sword Intent, he must be related to Lingxiang.
If you find that person, you will find the spiritual incense!
Long Qi picked up the jar of wine and took a big gulp, then flew down and left the jar of aged wine on the roof. The moonlight reflected the crystal clear inside the jar.
The mountain peak was steep, and a winding path descended like a flying silk thread, its shadows dappled among the trees, bright and eye-catching. A man walked quickly, but made no sound, as if he didn't want to disturb the tranquility.
The person who came down the mountain was Long Qi. Just now, he had made up his mind to find the person who could use the Lotus Heart Sword as Zhao Wuyang said.
Long Qi didn't prepare anything, just a long sword and a package, which was considered a light trip. However, no one knew what was in the package.
When he reached the mountain gate, Long Qi was shocked.
I didn't expect that there would be someone guarding the mountain gate now. This has never happened in the past. Isn't there a mountain guarding formation?
Fortunately, the boy guarding the gate seemed to be sleeping very soundly and did not seem to notice that someone suddenly appeared in front of him.
This is very strange. Although these Taoist children are not very talented, they have some skills in cultivation. They would never be so unguarded. Could it be that the demons are causing trouble again?
Long Qi hurried forward to check, but the Taoist boy was just sleeping soundly and there was nothing else unusual.
If the demons were to attack, no one would be left alive, but the disciples of the Yuanqing sect would not be so lax.
what is going on?
When he was puzzled, a chuckle came from the dark. Long Qi immediately became alert and looked around, but did not see any figure.
"You can't wake him up, and he'll have to sleep for a day or two!"
She's a woman, but...
But this voice sounds so familiar...
Who is it? Who is it?
"Who is sneaking around and daring to act rashly in front of Yuan Qing? Show yourself immediately!"
There was another burst of laughter, and it was clear that the person coming was not alone.
"Look, look, I told you, this guy is a brainless guy."
"Don't look! It's up there!"
above?
Long Qi looked back and saw four figures above the mountain gate under the moonlight, with different shapes, some sitting and some standing.
He couldn't see the faces of the people who came, but he guessed who they were.
"What are you doing here?" Long Qi said helplessly.
Lingxiang had planned everything, but only allowed Long Qi to enter the mountain formation, obviously not wanting to involve others. This was also the reason why he quietly went down the mountain in the middle of the night.
A figure flashed out from behind the mountain gate in the dark.
"We are all family, how could we let you take this risk alone? Besides, the demons and we are sworn enemies, so how could we be absent from this journey?"
It's magnolia.
That’s right, after all these years of experiences, they have already become family, so Long Qi was unwilling to let them accompany him in danger.
A floating cloud came from nowhere, obscuring the brightness of the sky, and the face on top of the mountain gate became clear.
It was Liu Xia, Zhao Wuyang, Lian Qiao and...
"Cheng Yu? When did you come back?" Looking at the figure, Long Qi thought it was Shoucheng, but he didn't expect it to be Cheng Yu.
Several people jumped down one after another and moved closer to Long Qi.
Cheng Yu did not answer him, but just crossed his arms, his strong arms looking very muscular.
"My mentor was killed by the demons. How can I be absent from this journey?"
The death of Master Zhao Ming was ultimately due to the demon clan. Cheng Yu was not someone who could not distinguish right from wrong; he was very clear about this.
Long Qi frowned and looked at the few people. There was a long silence. After a long time, he turned around silently without saying anything else.
That’s right, these people, more or less, all have some grudges with the demons, so it’s worth it for them to travel together.
The floating clouds dispersed, the clear sunlight was bright, the full moon was shining, and several figures walked away, steadfast and unwavering.
At this time, on the Wangxian Terrace, Master Fuyin stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the nebula in the sky, his eyes dim and unclear, and behind him was Han Yang.
"Master, they have left the mountain gate."
Master Fuyin did not answer, but just stared at the brilliance, not knowing what he was thinking. After a long time, he let out a long sigh.
"Issue a Taoist order, ordering the disciples of Yuanqing to return to the sect immediately."
Han Yang bowed, turned and left, his figure resolute and his steps calm.
finally……
It's finally time to fight back!
