When Gu Xingzhi and the other two realized that it was Qi Changqing walking towards them, they were startled and instantly forgot what Qi Changqing had just said.
"Don't come any closer! Get out of here! Are you out of your mind?!"
Zhang Yaozong shouted angrily at Qi Changqing.
This brat, why is he so troublesome! He has to come out and cause trouble at this time. They are already barely able to protect themselves, how can they have the time to protect him!
Tang Shuwen also looked anxious: "Yes, Xiao Changqing, it's very dangerous here. You should quickly hide back in the cave, and I'll cover you as you leave!" As she spoke, she prepared to walk towards Qi Changqing.
As the two were talking, Gu Xingzhi was the first to calm down and immediately noticed the abnormality in Qi Changqing.
Whenever these ferocious and bloodthirsty four-eyed red-spotted moths tried to fly over and bite Qi Changqing, they would eventually hover about a foot away and dare not approach any closer, as if there was something about Qi Changqing that they feared or were afraid of.
"Senior Sister Wen, don't be impulsive. Look closely, these four-eyed red-spotted moths can't hurt Xiao Changqing at all!"
Upon hearing Gu Xingzhi's words, Tang Shuwen was stunned for a moment and stopped in her tracks to look at Qi Changqing. She found that it was indeed as Gu Xingzhi had said!
Zhang Yaozong's gaze was also drawn to that direction at this moment.
As the saying goes, concern leads to confusion; only now did they belatedly realize what Qi Changqing had just said.
The three of them were immediately overjoyed.
"Xiao Changqing, how did you do that?! Why can't these poisonous moths get close to you?"
Tang Shuwen looked at Qi Changqing with a surprised expression.
Only now did she vaguely realize that the child standing in front of them was not as simple as they had imagined.
Qi Changqing tossed a small wooden bottle to Tang Shuwen and explained, "This is a powder that my teacher taught me to make to repel poisonous insects. Just apply a little of it to your body, and these moths will naturally not dare to come near you!"
Qi Changqing had never seen these poisonous moths before, so he wasn't sure if the powder he carried would work. That's why he spent some time testing it. Once he confirmed that the powder was effective, he immediately applied it to himself and rushed out to rescue Gu Xingzhi and the other two.
Tang Shuwen looked at the wooden bottle that Qi Changqing had thrown, immediately reversed her wrist to avoid the sword's edge, and used her longsword to smash the wooden bottle onto the heads of the three people.
Upon seeing this, Gu Xing immediately understood and suddenly thrust his spear towards the wooden bottle!
The wooden bottle exploded above the three people's heads with a loud bang, and a large cloud of white powder drifted down, covering the three of them.
The moment the white powder fell, the four-eyed red-spotted moths that had been attacking the three immediately dodged away.
"It really works!"
Tang Shuwen sheathed her longsword and looked at the four-eyed red-spotted moths that were lingering around and no longer approaching. She finally breathed a sigh of relief.
With a serious expression, Gu Xingzhi said to Tang Shuwen and Zhang Yaozong, "Although this powder has temporarily stopped the attack of the four-eyed red moth, it has not driven them away. We must leave this place before the powder loses its effect and get rid of them completely!"
Looking at the large swarm of four-eyed red-spotted moths that lingered around them, Zhang Yaozong and Tang Shuwen nodded in unison.
After making her decision, Tang Shuwen walked over to Qi Changqing and said, "Come on, Xiao Changqing, I'll carry you away from here!"
When Qi Changqing heard that Tang Shuwen wanted to carry him, his cheeks flushed instantly, and he quickly waved his hand and said, "No need to trouble you, sister, I can walk by myself."
"Senior Sister Wen, men and women shouldn't touch each other, let me carry it."
Seeing Qi Changqing's helpless and embarrassed expression, Gu Xingzhi couldn't help but smile. He then walked directly past Tang Shuwen to Qi Changqing and squatted down.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, big brother."
Qi Changqing breathed a sigh of relief and didn't refuse again, directly leaning on Gu Xingzhi's back.
Tang Shuwen found it somewhat amusing; she hadn't expected that Qi Changqing, a mere teenager, would still care about such things.
"move!"
Seeing that Gu Xingzhi had already memorized Qi Changqing, Zhang Yaozong urged him on.
Without further delay, the three immediately set off and flew into the woods.
Seeing the three people escape, the swarm of four-eyed red-spotted moths immediately gave chase.
Tang Shuwen glanced back and immediately cursed, "Damn it! These bastards are still following us!"
After escaping the predicament and calming down, Gu Xingzhi immediately analyzed the cause of the problem: "It seems that the three of us have picked up something that attracts them, otherwise these four-eyed red moths would have no reason to relentlessly pursue us."
Zhang Yaozong instantly thought of a possibility, "Could it be that witch's blood?!"
“That’s right!” Gu Xingzhi agreed. “These four-eyed red-spotted moths were most likely attracted by the strange fragrance, and that fragrance should have been emitted through Ma San Niang’s flesh and blood when she self-destructed!”
Tang Shuwen had a sudden inspiration: "Does that mean that if we take off and throw away the clothes stained with Ma San Niang's blood, we can completely get rid of these four-eyed red-spotted moths?"
"You can give it a try!"
Gu Xingzhi nodded, agreeing to Tang Shuwen's proposed solution.
The three acted immediately, taking off their outermost blood-stained shirts and throwing them to three different places.
Sure enough, after the three men took off their blood-stained clothes, the swarm of four-eyed red moths that had been following them immediately changed direction, splitting into three groups and chasing after the discarded clothes.
After escaping the pursuit of the four-eyed red moth, the three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fearing that the swarm of four-eyed red-spotted moths would catch up again, the three of them didn't stop to rest until they had completely fled out of the forest.
"Phew! We're finally out of danger!"
Tang Shuwen wiped the sweat from her forehead and sat down on a large rock nearby.
After the three of them stopped, Qi Changqing jumped off Gu Xingzhi's back and began to observe his surroundings.
The waning moon hung high in the sky; it was already late at night.
Looking around at the fields and fruit trees, with no houses or villages in sight, Qi Changqing knew that he was far from Chenjia Village and was likely in another part of the mountains.
"I wonder when you will come looking for me..."
Qi Changqing muttered something under his breath.
Although Jiang Yuchuan was omnipotent and incredibly capable in his eyes, he couldn't help but worry about him being alone in an unfamiliar environment.
"Little Changqing, is the gentleman you mentioned your master?"
Upon hearing Tang Shuwen's question, Qi Changqing turned around and shook his head. "Although the master taught me medical skills, he did not accept me as his apprentice."
"You just said that the powder that repels poisonous insects was prepared by a doctor. That doctor must be very skilled, right?"
Tang Shuwen asked this question entirely because of those medicinal powders.
Qi Changqing nodded proudly and said, "Sir, your medical skills are naturally superb! As long as you are willing to help, there is no one you cannot save!"
"Is the gentleman you speak of from the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines?"
Gu Xingzhi also became somewhat curious about the gentleman that Qi Changqing had mentioned.
Qi Changqing shook his head, "A teacher is a teacher, and does not belong to any sect."
He had asked Jiang Yuchuan about this issue before, and Jiang Yuchuan's answer was exactly what he had just said to Gu Xingzhi.
"So he's just a wandering martial artist..."
Qi Changqing's answer was somewhat unexpected by Gu Xingzhi. But at the same time, it made Gu Xingzhi feel even more respect for this gentleman.
From the small details, one can see that the man Qi Changqing was talking about was definitely a man of great ability.
For a wandering cultivator to achieve this level is truly remarkable.
Tang Shuwen talked with Qi Changqing for a while. When the three of them had recovered enough and were about to set off for the nearby villages and towns, a sudden change occurred!
None of the three noticed when a person had appeared on the road ahead.
