Chapter 90 Container

Qingwa is very dark and thin, with many scars on his body, all of which are old wounds.

He was the leader of those children. When they had no food to eat, he would take them to the nearby town to beg for food. If they couldn't get any, they would steal. If they were caught, they would be beaten severely.

At this time, he was sitting in Kuang Cheng's small room, looking at the person in front of him timidly.

"Qingwa, there is something I want to ask you. You have to answer truthfully, okay?"

Qingwa thought for a long time and finally nodded.

A child of his age is already sensible, not to mention that he has been struggling on the streets for so many years that he has already acquired the ability to distinguish between good and evil.

He can probably still tell who is a good guy and who is a bad guy.

These days, he knew that Kuang Cheng had been giving porridge to everyone and had also hired doctors to treat him, so he was not on high alert.

Seeing him nod in agreement, Kuang Cheng pointed at the animal bone pendant he was wearing and asked, "Where did you get this?"

Qingwa looked at the pendant, a trace of panic flashed across his face: "I picked it up, I picked it up..."

"Where did you pick it up from?"

"At the entrance of our hometown village."

Kuang Cheng couldn't help but touch his messy hair: "You also met the brother who came to see you just now. His sister is missing. Your pendant is very similar to his sister's. He wants to find his sister very much. Qingwa, I know you are a good child. You fight everywhere just to feed your little brothers."

Qingwa was silent for a long time before raising his eyes: "That day, there were many carriages parked in the open space in front of our village."

Kuang Cheng took a deep breath and slowly sat up straight: "And then?"

"We know that large carriages like these are usually caravans, and there will be food inside, so we thought about stealing some food to fill our stomachs, but we searched several carriages and found nothing to eat."

When Qingwa said this, his eyes showed deep fear and his thin shoulders kept shaking: "Later we found the fourth car, lifted the cloth on it, and saw many strange children..."

Ji You was guarding the door at this time, and he couldn't help but turn around when he heard this.

If the pendant was really picked up by Qingwa, then this clue would be meaningless, but he mentioned the child at this time.

And what they have been looking for are the lost babies.

Kuang Cheng glanced at Ji You, then said to Qing Wa, "What does the strange child mean?"

"Their bodies were red, as if they were steamed, their eyes were wide open, their teeth were pointed, and black air came out of their nostrils. They didn't cry or make a fuss, and they looked like they were dead, but they were still breathing."

Qingwa had never been to school and didn't know much, so he could only use simple and pale language to describe what he saw.

But even if it's just this, what it describes is chilling enough.

Ji You and Kuang Cheng looked at each other, then asked, "Did you pick up the pendant from those children?"

"The other children were afraid and said that the babies were born by the evil species in the mountains, but I was not afraid. I was their leader. If I was afraid, they would not obey me. So I plucked up my courage and pulled the pendant from a child and went back to show it to them."

Kuang Cheng was silent for a long time, then he asked, "Where are those carriages going?"

Qingwa thought for a moment and said, "The carriage only stopped at the entrance of the village for one night and disappeared the next day."

Ji You remembered the trace of black energy that he had been infected with, and turned around and asked, "Qingwa, when you took the pendant, did you touch the bodies of those children?"

"Bump, bumped into it once."

“…”

Kuang Cheng lowered his head in silence at this time, still confused by these sudden and strange messages, while Ji You had already started to act.

He first sent Hu Wa back out of the city, and then took Kuang Cheng to a bookstore and bought a map of Zhongzhou.

Because an immortal had been unearthed in the Qiling ruins before, this kind of map is everywhere and easy to buy.

The two of them didn't go anywhere afterwards, but sat in the bookstore and looked at the map for a while.

After seeing the relative positions of the entrance to Qiling, Hongshan Mine and Baishui River, Ji You's brows never relaxed again.

"Baihe Village is on the south side, and there are many mountains between me and where I enter the mountain. This is not a place I need to pass through to enter the mountain."

Kuang Cheng was silent for a long time: "Is there another way?"

It shouldn’t be. Ji You thought about it for a long time and gradually came up with the answer in his mind.

When he and Yuan Chen went to rescue Yuan Caiwei, they saw the car of Yanxing Post Station on the north side of the foothills of the middle mountain, so they must have entered from the north side when they sent the baby in.

But Qingwa probably didn't lie.

Because it is impossible for anyone to make up such a convincing story when asked so suddenly, especially since he is just a child.

Based on this, it can be inferred that the strange babies that Qingwa saw were not sent in, but transported out.

If they were all normal babies when they went in, and all became what Qingwa said when they came out, what does that mean? After his trip to Qiling, his biggest puzzle was that everything seemed to end after the demon Taoist failed to ascend.

But the matter of babies always lies outside the whole line.

He initially thought that the baby was captured to make medicine, but later he did not find any bloody smell in Yuan Caiwei's furnace, and Yuan Caiwei had never seen any baby.

It was not until this moment that he realized that the babies were sent into the mountain and then sent out again.

There must be a connection with immortals in the ruins. Perhaps it should be called another name, coming from the ancient times, from the surviving clan.

Otherwise, that demon has no Taoist inheritance and it is impossible for him to have the power to attack the immortal gate.

The fact that those children from aristocratic families broke through one after another after breaking in also proved this point.

But later everyone discovered that neither the immortal fate nor the magical herbs and elixirs could be taken out of the ruins.

Just like the red fruit that Ji You brought out, even though it was placed in the storage gourd, it still exploded and turned into black ash.

But according to Qingwa's description, someone must have brought the things out of the ruins in some way, and those lost babies were most likely the containers.

Ji You looked at the location of the Zheng family on the map, and the logic in his mind began to become clearer.

Before being reopened by Tianshu Academy, Hongshan Mine had always been in the hands of the Zheng family.

They accidentally opened the ruins because of a mine tunnel that was broken through, and saw the mysterious fairyland, but found that they could not bring it out.

But they kept trying, and after countless attempts, they discovered the magical effect of babies...

He didn't know what these attempts were specifically, but he knew that they were definitely not something that an ordinary person could endure.

In short, they succeeded.

Then these babies should have been sent to the Zheng family...

Because Yan Shuyi said that the Zheng family had imprisoned many evil species that could speak human language, but he didn't know how to use them specifically.

It’s just that the baby who served as the container was highly poisonous, and Qingwa who went to steal things was infected.

Afterwards, because someone brought out something that did not belong to this world from the ruins, the evil species went out of control and was no longer restrained by the ruins. As a result, the world was in chaos and attracted the attention of the Immortal Sect.

Seeing that the secret could no longer be concealed, the ancestor of the Zheng family set up a plan to refine people with karmic fire, which led to a shocking tragedy.

"Brother Ji, have you thought of anything?"

At this moment, Kuang Cheng's voice sounded in his ears.

Ji You thought for a moment and shook his head: "No, nothing."

"Do you think Hu Wa's sister is still alive?"

"Hu Wa's sister may have died. This matter should end here..."

When Kuang Cheng heard Ji You's words, he couldn't help but look up at him.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

He understood Ji You and knew that Ji You definitely did not have this kind of personality. Even if his realm was low and he could not do anything, he would definitely not be able to help but curse at Qingwa after hearing what he said.

But he remained extremely calm at this moment, and even used the phrase “that’s it” to describe it.

After hesitating for a long time, he did not ask.

He believed in his friend, in the young master Ji who had vomited blood in Yuyang County but told him that everyone is mortal since ancient times.

If he didn't say something, it meant that Ji You felt that he shouldn't know about this matter.

In fact, Kuang Cheng was right, he was not stupid, and Ji You was also a smart man.

Even if it was just a guess that babies could be containers, no one could know about it.

Because the temptation of immortal fate is so great, seeing those children of aristocratic families flocking to it even though they know there will be dangers, you can tell that they can do anything for the immortal fate.

Since there can be a Zheng family in Qingyun Tianxia, ​​there will be a second Zheng family.

Kuang Cheng was a young and inexperienced man who kept meddling in other people's affairs in Yuyang County.

If he knew about this, he would inevitably be involved in the disputes among the cultivators, but he was just an ordinary person after all and had no cultivation to protect himself.

So no one can know about this, not even him.

Ji You has few good friends in this world, and Kuang Cheng is one of them. He is indeed pedantic at times, but his pedantry is admirable.

Think about that autumn day last year, when he, who had nothing to do with the Qiu family, kept running around, looking for me and asking the Fang family for help. If he knew my guess, what would happen?

This matter was too big and he didn't want him to die because of it.

The only good news at the moment is that there have been no cases of baby loss in Beijing in the past six months.

Ji You only hoped that the failure of the Zheng family ancestor's ascension to heaven would be the final outcome. Once everything was buried, no one would have the idea of ​​coveting the ruins in the future, and the world would be more stable.

"Is it really that good to become an immortal?"

Ji You listened to Kuang Cheng's mumbling, thought for a moment and then said, "Becoming an immortal can lead to longevity. If you have tasted the taste of power for a long time, you will have the desire for eternal immortality."

Kuang Cheng looked at the gloomy sky and said, "Why don't they cherish the world they have now?"

"Because they can become immortals, ascend to the immortal world, and gain great freedom. People in the village are like this, always wanting to go to the city."

Ji You stood up and said, "As we said before, after we return safely, we will have a meal together."

Kuang Chengshi came back to his senses and looked up at him: "Today?"

"Let's do it today. Call Miss Wei and Yuan Chen, and we'll go together."

"We just met Miss Wei by chance. It would be rude for three men to invite her to sit at the table with us. It would also be bad if someone saw us."

Ji was worried that you were being cautious: "Then ask Miss Wei to invite a familiar woman to come with you."

Kuang Cheng looked at the pendant he got from Qing Wa, held it in his palm and said, "I'll go see Hu Wa first, then I'll go talk to Miss Wei and ask her to invite a friend over."

"Forget it. I'll ask Yuanchen's sister to keep her company."

"?"

Kuang Cheng was stunned for a moment: "Brother Ji really wants to marry two, but this is normal in Qingyun World. The daughter of the Dan Sect is of noble status and will be the main wife. The fairy who came that day will be the concubine, so that the alchemist can also treat mortals."

Ji You looked at him and thought to himself, you know nothing.

In terms of status, there may be no woman in the world more noble than Yan Shuyi, not even Yuan Caiwei can compare to her.

Let her be my concubine? My goodness, my seven-foot-tall man is not even strong enough for Lingjianshan to penetrate.

Besides, do you think Yan Shu is willing to be my concubine? She will kick me to death.

However, he thought it would be better not to tell Kuang Cheng about Yan Shuyi's identity, otherwise the scholar would ask him to prescribe medicine for the sake of the people.

According to his understanding, if Ji You married these two, it would be equivalent to getting the help of two major sects. He only needed to contribute his body and would not even have to outlast the master.

The reason why Ji You changed his mind was actually due to another reason.

Wei Rui is very likely Wei Li's granddaughter...

Because when he came outside the city to look for Kuang Cheng a few days ago, he had seen a group of young men from noble families in the capital and heard their conversation.

The one sitting in the carriage was the princess of Chongwang Mansion, and the man he knocked off the horse was the son of the Minister of Revenue.

Considering Wei Rui's surname, her identity can naturally be confirmed.

Kuang Cheng is currently working in the Sixianjian, and is a sworn enemy of the pro-immortal faction. If they meet like this, it will probably not end well.

This guy didn't even dare to ask the other person's name. I guess he hasn't reacted yet.

In the past, Wei Xiangru was at the peak of his career, representing a thorn that the Immortal Sect had inserted into the court of Daxia. Ji You was afraid that he would be too stupid and take risks, so he asked him to pick up girls to offset the threat from the pro-Immortal faction.

But now the Immortal Sect and the aristocratic families are suspicious of each other, and the pro-Immortal faction also has a shaky feeling, so this is meaningless.

But it was first love after all, and Ji You didn’t know how to tell him about it.
