regardless of frontier

Two months later, Luo Qingshuang's Immortal Gate Exam should be over, but she didn't hear any news from him, and didn't report whether her grades were good or bad. Qin Jiu reckoned that this kid's trip should be The grades are not very good, so I am embarrassed to tell them, and I am also embarrassed to come back.

It's half a month, logically speaking, even the kid on the horse should have a letter, right?What's more, he has already learned to fly with a sword!

Of course, Yujian flying sounds mysterious and high-end, but it is actually a little faster than riding a horse. Think about it, who can withstand high-speed flying in the air, the wind can blow people out of shape right?Any technique is created for practicality at the beginning. Maybe a person with higher mana can travel thousands of miles in a day, provided that he is invincible and can withstand the test.

In the early morning of that day, just as Qin Jiu woke up, he saw that Master had already taken off the loose clothes he usually wore, and put on a simple and capable travel attire. His hair was half tied up with a simple wooden hairpin all the time. This time it was rarely tied with a piece of cloth, combed into a refreshing high ponytail, and said to Qin Jiu who was dumbfounded and wished to drool: "Go, go to the Luo family's fairy gate to find people."

Before leaving, the master packed a lot of magic weapons, secret books and other things that he had never used before in his luggage, but he didn't pack much change of clothes and money. Qin Jiu reasonably suspected that the master planned to go to Luo Qingshuang's house "supply".

The corners of Qin Jiu's mouth twitched: "Master, Qingshuang has grown up now, after he leaves the teacher, his father probably won't let him come back to you again, right?"

Yan Lu raised his eyebrows and said with a slight smile, "Don't worry, there are plenty of ways for a teacher."

Qin Jiu silently thought of the time when they abducted Luo Qingshuang. That time, Qin Jiu was so nervous that he was afraid that if he didn't pay attention, he would reveal his secrets. Fortunately, the result was not bad. It made Luo Qingshuang's father believe that he was a proud disciple who was accomplished by his master, an "outsider expert", so he gave away his precious son.Qin Jiu felt that Luo Qingshuang was also wronged. A noble young master followed them to nest in this remote place for ten years. Although they did not treat him badly, it was probably a little different from what he had imagined at the beginning.

It was the first time I felt that Master was not that distant, ethereal, and indifferent Master, but also had a cunning, insidious side, who would use any means to achieve his goals.

From the time when the master decided to go to Luo Qingshuang's family to find people, to when they left the bamboo house where they had lived for many years, it took only half a day.

After half a day, their home was sealed up.

However, where there is a master, that is his home.

Although the master's skill is rather weak, he still knows how to fly with a sword. After all, this is the passing line for a person in the fairy sect. If you can't do this kind of thing, then it was almost impossible to deceive Luo Qingshuang's father back then. impossible.

When they finally arrived at the Luo family fairy gate, they were all in vain.

"Ziyi is still in Hebi." The person who came to greet them was Yuan Qingcheng, the elder brother of Taihang Xianmen. When Qin Jiu saw him last time, he was about the same age as his master. Now, he has become a middle-aged man. In his eyes, the master is forever young.

Hebi is the place where their serious disciples of the immortal sect take the adult test, and many major competitions in the world of cultivating immortals are also held there every year.Ziyi is Luo Qingshuang's nickname, and it makes people sigh a lot. He hasn't been home for more than ten years. Now Luo Qingshuang's family members are unfamiliar with his nickname, and Qin Jiu and Master A person who has no blood relationship with him, but every day Qingshuang Qingshuang shouts thieves and affectionately.

Hearing that it was Luo Qingshuang's master who came, Yuan Qingcheng brought a large group of people to welcome them, but they did not see Luo Qingshuang's father and his two elder brothers.

"Isn't the exam only for seven days? Why haven't you come back after half a month?" Qin Jiu paused, "Isn't it possible that Ziyi has been buried because there are so many experts here?" Actually Qin Jiu wanted to ask directly , that brat wouldn't be so dishonest, right?After thinking about it, he was a little more tactful, and it seemed that he, the "master" who really taught Luo Qingshuang, was not so shameful.

Yuan Qingcheng shook his head: "No, I heard from a letter that Ziyi won the first prize of this year's disciples, thanks to the cultivation of the immortals." He also saluted Yan Lu, and Yan Lu Lu also pretended to agree, while Qin Jiu squinted his eyes and was delighted.Why, Master who always taught us to be upright and honest, don't you feel ashamed now?

With Luo Qingshuang's level, how could she still get the first place in the exam?It seems that the level of the new disciples of this class of decent immortal sect is not very good.Qin Jiu thought to himself.

"It's just that not long after the exam, I heard that something happened at Hebi. It seemed that there was a lot of commotion. Master and Ziyi's two brothers rushed over. I will take care of the mountain gate for the time being. Already, if I neglect the two of you, I hope you will take care of me."

"What's the matter?" Upon hearing that something had happened, Qin Jiu didn't bother to listen to Yuan Qingcheng's polite words later, and stood up with a slap on the chair, completely ignoring that at this time, at least the face should be asked by the master .

However, what Qin Jiu subconsciously thought was that that brat Luo Qingshuang must be in trouble. Let's put it this way, that brat has grown so big, he has been on the verge of death for countless times, and every time he didn't wipe him off by himself. ass?This time, he had an accident as soon as he left, and he didn't know what would happen if no one wiped his ass.

It's just that he seems to have forgotten, why did Luo Qingshuang have to do it?This obviously happened in a place as big as Hebi.

"Immortals don't need to panic. Master and all the immortal sects in the west have brought people there. The matter should be resolved soon."

No, senior brother, you think that the matter is even bigger when you say it like this, what terrible disaster did that brat Luo Qingshuang cause again?

Just when Qin Jiu was about to remember to get up and ask for details, Yan Lu put his hand on Qin Jiu's.

Those hands were not big, half a knuckle shorter than Qin Jiu's, and they didn't have much strength, but the warm and soft touch instantly calmed Qin Jiu down.

What are you thinking, my family members are not in a hurry, you are more anxious than anyone else, besides, they didn't say that Qingshuang got into trouble again, what are you worrying about every day?

Yan Lu didn't turn his head, but Qin Jiu just looked at the master's side face, and he was already very relieved, and his heart gradually calmed down.

Yan Lu asked Yuan Qingcheng: "Do you know what happened?"

Yuan Qingcheng shook his head: "Master didn't say anything, but judging by his reaction when he went, he wasn't in a hurry, it shouldn't be a big deal."

Yan Lu frowned, what's the matter, not in a hurry but also needing such a big man like Master Luo to rush to Hebi?

Obviously, this matter must not have caused much harm, otherwise they would not say that they left in no hurry, but there must be a bigger problem behind this matter. Yan Lu thought of the petrified corpse that Qin Jiu mentioned earlier, vaguely There was an ominous premonition about it.

Qin Jiu didn't understand what happened to each other, but Yan Lu grabbed his hand, picked him up from the seat, bowed and saluted before leaving.

After leaving Luojia Xianmen, Qin Jiu finally said, "Why are you going, Master?"

"Go to Hebi and look for Qingshuang."

"Sure enough, what happened to Luo Qingshuang?"

Yan Lu shook his head: "No, it shouldn't be about Qingshuang's business, otherwise his senior brother wouldn't be unresponsive, but I'm afraid something happened to Hebi."

"What's the big deal?"

"It's not clear yet, and I'm not sure until I see it with my own eyes. I hope things won't be what I think."

Suddenly, Qin Jiu behind him stopped moving forward.

"what happened?"

"Master, do you really take me as your disciple?"

"Of course! Why do you say such things?"

"Then why don't you tell us anything? It's fine if you don't tell us about your past. Now that it's about Qingshuang, why aren't you willing to tell us? We are all ready to become teachers, and you still treat us like children how long?"

Yan Lu was stunned, bowed his head in thought for a moment, sighed, stepped forward, and wanted to rub Qin Jiu's head as usual, but Qin Jiu took a step back and avoided it.

Yan Lu was stunned, but then gradually returned to tranquility: "I'm just afraid that things will not go as I thought. If you really want to hear, I will naturally tell you."

Qin Jiu tilted his head a little, his eyes full of disbelief.

Seeing Qin Jiu's childish appearance, Yan Lu burst out laughing, "He said he's grown up, and he's playing childish temper with Master."

Qin Jiu walked up to Yan Lu with some awkwardness: "Who made Master always treat us as children, then we have to pretend to make Master happy."

Yan Lu let out a long breath, took a step forward and grabbed Qin Jiu's arm who was having a fight, grabbed him and whispered, "Then, Master Qin, do we still want to listen to Master explain Master's discovery?"

"Of course Lord Qin wants to listen!"

Yan Lu pursed his lips and shook his head: "This should be a secret that has been sealed for a hundred years. Even in the sect of cultivating immortals, few people know about it. Do you remember what Master once mentioned to you?"

Qin Jiu's expression moved slightly, a little unnatural for a moment, but then he immediately returned to normal: "Remember, as you said, ordinary cultivators absorb and use the power of nature to improve their skills, while demon cultivators are Utilizing the evil power of the world is like a monster who has fallen into the devil's way."

"That's right, about 400 years ago, the magic cultivation technique was created by a... person. However, because the power source of the magic cultivation technique is so vicious, it is often heard that some magic cultivation techniques eat the same kind in order to improve their cultivation. Things happen, isn’t this the same as a monster? Therefore, the magic cultivator has always been tolerated by the righteous way, and there have been constant disputes between the two factions. Over the years, the righteous immortal sect has also wiped out many demon cultivators, but over the years, the demon cultivators The technique of cultivation has been repeatedly prohibited and repeated, and there are always people who fall into the devil's way one after another."

"It's natural, there is a simple way, no matter how vicious and risky he is, there will still be people who will continue to use it." Qin Jiu's answer is reasonable.

Yan Lu glanced at him and said: "It's true. Originally, fighting among human beings has always existed. Even if there is no magic cultivation technique, those who want to harm people will think of other ways to harm others. Magic cultivation is like With a knife, the key lies in the person who uses it, if you use it well, you can develop a high level of cultivation, if you use it poorly, you will use it to harm people."

Qin Jiu nodded, deeply agreeing.

"Over the years, the worst things the demon cultivators have done are killing each other, or absorbing the cultivation of immortal cultivators. They are just people who are despised by the righteous way. This technique caused a catastrophe."

"What spell?"

"A spell that can bring the dead back to life."

"This... how can this be called a catastrophe? Shouldn't this be a thaumaturgy?"

"No, you don't know, Ajiu, although the technique can bring the dead back to life, it is only enough to make the dead body move. People don't have their own consciousness, and they are no different from walking corpses. The body of the dead will slowly turn into Hard rocks, slow in movement and low in attack power, but hard to kill, and more importantly, at the beginning, only dead bodies were petrified, and later, living people could also be killed for no reason, becoming selfless Conscious petrified people! There are a lot of people who were alive one second, but turned into puppets without self-awareness in the next second. I heard that those kind of people may have their souls taken away by that magic technique. The underworld, never coming back!"

"This... sounds a bit like an unfinished spell..."

Qin Jiu was just stating his normal reaction after hearing this, but he never thought that the way Master looked at him became extremely strange at this moment. It was shock at first, but then it turned into relief and understanding?

Qin Jiu wanted to ask the master why he looked at him like this, and if he said something wrong, but the master didn't give him a chance to speak, and continued: "Yes, this is indeed an unfinished failed spell. The law did not achieve the effect his master wanted, but it caused a catastrophe that almost wiped out the common people. At first, these petrified people only appeared in a small area, but then, this thing spread like a plague to everyone in the world. In this corner, countless people suddenly became petrified people without knowing it. It was a war that year. In the battle of salvation, in order to protect themselves and deal with the enemy, the armies of the two countries dealt with the petrified people according to the method of dealing with the plague. Wherever they passed, there were wildfires and scorched corpses everywhere. I wonder if you have heard of Wooden City, that is A town made entirely of wood, with brilliant culture, was quite famous a hundred years ago, and its exquisite skills are still passed down to the world. In that war, the high temperature generated by the burning of wood could even melt gold in mid-air. With such a bloody massacre, the people of the Central Plains preserved their last hope and eliminated all the petrified people."

"I've never heard of such a big event."

"Because this is a wicked sorcery! At the beginning, after the petrified man was completely eradicated, the government ordered to burn all the research on the petrified man to prevent future generations from delving into cults, and let these scourges revive again. After a hundred years of information control, we know There are only some old antiques of the fairy sect left in these things, and since then, both temples and rivers and lakes have started a full-scale suppression of demon cultivators, just because they are afraid of this kind of thing happening again."

"I see. It's really wrong to use unfinished spells to harm people." After all, it was a very long time ago. Although Yan Lu said it was thrilling, it was for someone like Qin Jiu who had never experienced it. Well, that catastrophe is like an understatement in the history books, without any sense of reality, so there is no sense of fear and empathy.

"..." Qin Jiu's answer made Yan Lu stunned, and then, Yan Lu seemed to understand, changed the subject, and asked Qin Jiu, "You said earlier that you saw a petrified corpse, but what happened near the corpse? But there is no difference, I think it should be a corpse that was not burned out a hundred years ago..."

"wrong!"

"what?"

Qin Jiu grabbed Master by the shoulder: "No, Master, that corpse has only been buried for about half a year, and that's not the only corpse that was stolen by that monster! I guess the other corpse that was stolen must look like that!"

Yan Lu's eyes froze: "Quick! Go to Hebi and find Qingshuang!"
