Chapter 37
The next day, Qin Zunyue with dark circles under his eyes and Liu Huaizhao with swollen lips stood in front of the others.
Zheng Shu and Wei Zhirong had complicated expressions. Qiao Lang was holding a cake in his hand, chewing it while curiously asking, "What were you two doing last night? Why didn't you go back to sleep? I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and didn't see you two."
day.
Wei Zhirong took a deep breath and pulled the stupid Qiao Lang away.
Tong Le looked at Qin Zunyue and then at Liu Huaizhao. After thinking for a while, he showed an expression of sudden enlightenment and pulled Yan Liao aside.
Qin Zunyue was too lazy to eavesdrop on what Tong Le was mumbling. He stopped Zheng Shu who was about to slip away, and then called the others back.
This morning, Liu Huaizhao suddenly said that he had something to say. Qin Zunyue called everyone together and said softly, "Go ahead."
Liu Huaizhao nodded, ignoring the glances that Qiao Lang and Tong Le occasionally made towards his lips, and said seriously, "After I regained my memory, I remembered the formation to seal the turbid monster. This formation is not difficult, but there is one requirement - it must be completed in Changhuai Mountain."
Changhuai Mountain, the legendary land of gods, is said to be the sacred mountain connecting heaven and earth. Only at the top of Changhuai Mountain can all the pure air in the world be mobilized.
In Kong Yi's memory, he was on the top of Changhuai Mountain, where he used his body to set up a formation, channeling the pure yang energy into the Lieyang Sword, and then cast a spell to allow the Lieyang Sword to emit the pure energy to the human world for mortals to practice.
"This formation can mobilize all the pure energy between heaven and earth, and then use this pure energy to eliminate the turbid monsters."
After Liu Huaizhao gave a brief explanation, Qin Zunyue asked in confusion, "But didn't you say that there is no more pure energy now?"
"Indeed, but it doesn't matter. I have another way."
Qin Zunyue frowned and asked the question that concerned him the most, "Will there be any danger?"
Liu Huaizhao pretended to be calm and replied, "I have used this formation before. It is not dangerous. The reason why I fell into a coma was because I sealed the heavy turbid energy. I will not be so stupid this time."
Qin Zunyue was skeptical and asked, "Is there any other way?"
"That's all." Liu Huaizhao spread his hands, "Just this one. You really don't have to worry too much about me. It's not like I haven't used this formation before, and it worked fine."
"How do we get to Changhuai Mountain? Is there anything we can use to help us find our way? I can't quite remember the way." Seeing that Qin Zunyue still looked doubtful, Liu Huaizhao quickly changed the subject. "I followed the turbid air to get to your place, and now I can't find my way back."
"I have a map." Qin Zunyue pinched his eyebrows.
"Then let's go now!" Tong Le jumped up.
Qiao Lang, who was standing by, was also happy. However, the atmosphere between Qin Zunyue and Liu Huaizhao had just been so tense that he dared not speak. Seeing that it had eased a little, he immediately said, "Let's go, let's go. We can finally kill all the monsters."
But Zheng Shu was obviously not as optimistic as them. She asked, "This can only temporarily seal the monster, right? What about Gongsun Xuan..."
Liu Huaizhao knew what she wanted to say and comforted her, "No matter how powerful Gongsun Xuan's magic is, it is not easy for him to create so many monsters. We must seal all the turbid monsters first, so that we can focus on dealing with him."
Tong Le on the side chimed in, "That's right, Sister Shu, you can't become fat all at once."
Zheng Shu thought so too and decided to proceed step by step in a steady and cautious manner.
After she figured it out, she turned to look at Qin Zunyue, but found that he was staring at Liu Huaizhao and obviously did not hear the conversation just now.
"Alright." She clapped her hands and said, "Since we're going now, let's not waste time. The map is in the car, and we still have to go back and drive."
The others obediently packed up their things, but this time they were traveling light and brought nothing but food, so they could only pretend to be busy, glancing at the two people who were still there.
But soon they were out of sight.
Qin Zunyue dragged Liu Huaizhao to another empty dormitory.
The dormitory was not cleaned and was full of dust, but the two of them didn't care about that when they slept.
Liu Huaizhao stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips, then asked knowingly, "What's wrong?"
"Tell me the truth, is this formation dangerous?"
"Of course not. Didn't I just say that this formation is not the first time I've used it? There was no danger the first time, so how could there be any danger this time?" He grabbed Qin Zunyue's hand and tapped his head lightly. "Besides, I still have all the formations that Kong Yi has studied before in my mind. It's just to seal a turbid monster, not to eliminate the heavy turbid air. What danger can there be?"
Qin Zunyue still didn't believe it, but he really knew nothing about it, so he could only say: "Teach me a few spells for emergency treatment, and I will go with you when the time comes."
"No, there can only be one person in this formation."
"I must go with you." Qin Zunyue interrupted him with an unquestionable tone.
"Okay." Liu Huaizhao compromised, "Then you wait for me outside the formation, okay?"
Seeing Qin Zunyue nodded reluctantly, Liu Huaizhao reached out and hugged him, whispering: "I like you so much, how could I leave you."
Qin Zunyue didn't say anything, but just pressed him into his arms again, wishing he could merge into one with him and enter the formation with him.
The two of them were tender for a while, and Qin Zunyue pulled him away, took a deep breath and said, "Let's go."
-
The car was waiting for them there. Tong Le took out the map and studied the fastest route with Qin Zunyue.
"I hope the road surface is not damaged too seriously." Qin Zunyue reached over the center console and fastened Liu Huaizhao's seat belt.
The off-road vehicle bumped along the way, driving from morning until sunset before stopping in front of a residential building to rest.
"Do you want to set up a tent? Or just find a house?" Zheng Shu jumped out of the cab and stretched.
But no one in Qin Zunyue's car responded to her. She walked over and leaned against the car window to look inside, and found that several people in the car were staring at the ancient book in Liu Huaizhao's hand with strange expressions.
"What's going on?" she asked.
Tong Le said, "This book suddenly became very hot."
"I suspect the other half of the book is around here." Liu Huaizhao opened and closed the book.
"Do you want to look for it?" Qin Zunyue asked. After all, Liu Huaizhao had already restored Kong Yi's memory, and the other half of the book was no longer important to them.
But seeing Liu Huaizhao's expression, he knew that Liu Huaizhao still wanted to find the other half.
"Let's wait until the turbid demon is sealed." Liu Huaizhao put the hot book back into his arms, opened the car door and got out.
As soon as he got out of the car, his expression became strange. "Someone cast a spell here."
"What?" The others became alert instantly after hearing this. "Is it Gongsun Xuan?"
Liu Huaizhao shook his head, took a few steps forward, and walked past an ordinary tree.
The moment he took a step forward, several talismans came out from nowhere and rushed towards him.
Liu Huaizhao waved his long sleeves, and several talismans disappeared instantly, leaving only one talisman floating in the air, which was pinched by Liu Huaizhao.
He took the talisman closer and took a look, and was a little surprised. This was clearly a talisman developed by Kong Yi, not something modified in later generations.
He thought of something and took out the half-remaining ancient book in his arms. Sure enough, the ancient book became hotter and hotter. Liu Huaizhao even suspected that if he took a few more steps forward, the ancient book would spontaneously combust.
"The remaining half of the ancient book should be here." He put the ancient book back in his arms and turned to look at Qin Zunyue, but the next second, an obviously unfriendly voice sounded from behind him, "Who are you?!"
The person who spoke was a young man, about the same age as Qiao Lang. He was wearing a tracksuit, but he was very thin, so the clothes looked very loose. He also held a few talismans in his hands.
Behind him stood a girl who was slightly younger than him but equally thin. She held a talisman in one hand and tugged at the hem of her clothes with the other. She looked a little nervous, but still stood straight and stared at them.
Qin Zunyue stepped forward and explained why they were there.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the talisman in the girl's hand came towards him. Liu Huaizhao reached out and grabbed the talisman, blocking Qin Zunyue.
Qin Zunyue patted Liu Huaizhao gently, put his arm around his waist, and brought him behind him. "We have no ill intentions. We just want to know where you learned these spells."
"Who would believe your lies? Who knows if you are ungrateful beasts?"
"Hey! Who are you scolding?" Tong Le became angry instantly when he heard such harsh words. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Zheng Shu.
The man in front of the girl also stopped the girl who wanted to say something else and said to Qin Zunyue: "We won't tell you. No matter where you are from, please go back."
Liu Huaizhao and Qin Zunyue looked at each other and took out half of the ancient book in their arms.
Before he could speak, he saw the expressions of the two people in front of him change.
"Go find the teacher." The man whispered.
When the girl heard his words, she turned around and went into the residential building without hesitation.
After a while, the girl was seen walking out supporting a white-haired old man.
"Teacher." The boy was about to explain what happened when the old man raised his hand to stop him.
"Young man, can you let me see the book in your hand?"
The old man's kind smile made Liu Huaizhao unable to say no. He walked forward and handed the book over with both hands.
But the old man in front of him didn't take it. He just flipped through two pages in his hand and said, "Please come in. The other half is indeed here with me."
"Grandma!" the girl shouted, her voice a little anxious. "We can't just let them in. What if they do something like the previous group of people?"
The man patted the girl's shoulder soothingly and said, "Lianlian, listen to your grandma."
Seeing that they were not going to change their minds, Lianlian pouted, walked at the end, and looked at them warily.
-
After entering the building, they did not climb up, but went into a room on the first floor, which seemed to be the room of the white-haired old man. The interior was warm and comfortable.
"Please sit down, Xiaoze. Go get the remaining half of the book."
Xiaoze nodded, turned and left, leaving only Lianlian standing in front of the old man, still looking at them vigilantly.
Everyone felt uncomfortable under this thief-like gaze. Qin Zunyue coughed lightly and said, "Old man, can you understand the words in the book?"
The old man patted his little granddaughter and asked her to sit over to the side. He then smiled and replied, "Before the end of the world, I studied ancient characters. Although the characters in those books have never been discovered, the evolution of characters has a certain pattern. You will understand it if you study it more."
It was easy for her to say, but Tong Le had studied this kind of writing with Liu Huaizhao before, so he naturally knew how difficult it was.
So she said sincerely: "You are really amazing."
Lianlian, who was sitting nearby, softened a little after hearing this. "My grandma saved so many people, of course she's amazing! But you guys, don't even think about that book."
As soon as she said this, everyone fell silent. The girl became angry and stood up suddenly.
"Alright, alright, Lianlian, be obedient." The old man stopped his granddaughter with a smile, then turned his gaze to Liu Huaizhao, "Young man, I see that what you wear is different from the others."
Lianlian muttered beside her, "What strange clothes."
Liu Huaizhao didn't care and just answered the old man's question, "I...I'm used to wearing it like this."
He didn't tell the truth and just made up an excuse that was full of loopholes.
The old man didn't care and just said, "I was just at the window and saw how agile you were. It seems these talismans can't hurt you."
Liu Huaizhao didn't know how to explain it, but fortunately Xiaoze took out the other half of the ancient book.
"Teacher, this book is suddenly very hot."
He handed the book to the old man, who then handed it to Liu Huaizhao.
Liu Huaizhao took it with both hands, took out his ancient books, stacked them together, and then recited a string of spells.
The next second, the two books that were originally separated floated into the air, were wrapped in a ball of golden light, and came together again.
Liu Huaizhao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had finally recovered what Kong Yi had left behind. He just wondered what had become of his senior brother who held the book...
He forced himself not to think about it. Just as he was about to reach out to take the ancient book that had been put back together, he saw a white light coming out from inside and then turned into a thin figure.
