85. Chapter 85 Changes in Qingcheng
After eating at my third uncle's house that night, I returned to my own home and slept.
However, in the middle of the night, Yi Qiu got up, circled around his small mountain village, and then flew in the same direction on the clouds.
As soon as a glimmer of morning light appeared on the horizon, Yi Qiu was already on the bustling Qingcheng Street, where people were coming and going.
Walking into Qingcheng, Yi Qiu found that from time to time there were people in groups of three or three gathered around and discussing something. Considering that Yi Qiu was now eager to find a place for his parents in Qingcheng, there was nothing unusual about this.
expression.
However, as we walked along, we noticed that people were talking about something along the way. At the same time, there were groups of people rushing towards the city lord's palace. These people were either in twos or threes or in groups. Judging from their appearance, they looked like merchants, woodcutter, and rude.
People are all in it.
When Yi Qiu's eyes flickered, he couldn't help but let out his consciousness to see what the people around him were talking about. At the same time, he also walked towards his parents' place at the address given to him by his third uncle.
But after Yi Qiu heard the comments of the people around him, he suddenly stopped and looked thoughtful.
"Hey, what a sin. The old Zhang family's baby was lost just a few months after he was born, and the Zhang family's sister-in-law is still in a coma." A man who looked like a woodcutter sighed to the people around him.
"Yeah, I don't know what happened to our Qingcheng. Although there were occasional missing children in the past few years, it was not like the past two years. No, the Orion Slaughterer hadn't gone up to the mountain to hunt. He stayed at home for five years.
The three-year-old baby has been lost. Even though the hunter made many inquiries after he came back, there is still no information." A group of farmers who had obviously come from outside Qingcheng were discussing.
When Yi Qiu put his spiritual consciousness on a group of businessmen-looking people, he heard them all saying angrily: "My Tian'er is studying well in the 'Wenxiang Academy' in the city. I haven't seen my son come back for several days, but when I inquired
Only then did I realize that there are actually several sons in this academy who, like my son, disappeared without even returning home."
"We merchants have worked so hard to earn some money, isn't it just for our children? Now it's great, we can actually lose it in the famous academy in this city. Come on, let's go to the city lord's mansion quickly and ask the city lord for an explanation.
." Another woman who looked like a businessman said with an angry look on her face.
"What do you want to say? Although there are occasional bandits around Qingcheng, it has been a long time since our children disappeared like this. We work hard to earn some money and pay so much tax to the city lord every year. The city lord always has to
Do you care about the safety of our city? If there is no safety at all, there is no need to be the city lord."
There were angry voices in agreement, and at the same time, several streams of people gathered into one group and rushed towards the city lord's palace.
Hearing this, Yi Qiu already understood what was going on. Although Yi Qiu wanted to go to his parents' place first, he was caught in the crowd and couldn't help but follow the crowd towards the city lord's palace.
With Yi Qiu's current cultivation level, he can easily break away from the dense crowd. However, after seeing the misery and helplessness on the faces of the people around him after losing his child, Yi Qiu sighed slightly when he saw it.
After saying that, they went to the city lord's mansion together.
In Yi Qiu's heart, he had a vague feeling that the loss of these children seemed to be somewhat related to the task he took on this time.
Before arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, Yi Qiu found that a dense crowd of people had gathered in front of the City Lord's Mansion Gate Square. At a glance, these people were divided into three categories. One of them was armored soldiers guarding the City Lord's Mansion.
Although there were occasional conflicts, no one was allowed in.
The other group is the Qingcheng people wearing various clothes who are confronting the soldiers guarding the city lord. Although it is noisy and noisy, under the shining sword tip, no one dares to attack the city lord's palace.
.
There were just people shouting and cursing in front of the city lord's palace, wailing, crying and whispering tears everywhere.
As for the third category, Yi Qiu actually faintly felt some fluctuations in mana among these people. After carefully sensing it, he exhaled slightly. Those with mana fluctuations were only in the early stages of Qi training.
, only one person has reached the intermediate level of Qi training.
After passing through the Land of the Sunset, and with Yi Qiu's current level of Qi training at the Great Perfection, he naturally became interested in these elementary and intermediate levels of Qi training.
Yi Qiu walked slowly to a deserted area, took out four talismans from the package, whispered a few words, and then knocked them out with a slight gesture. The talismans flashed towards several people.
As he fled, these were naturally the four communication talismans that Yi Qiu had played. He used the sect's unique method to convey some of the information here to the senior brothers who were still in the capital and Changyu City.
After doing this, Yi Qiu slowly exhaled and walked toward the crowd to look around. Suddenly, his expression changed, and he couldn't help but quicken his pace and squeezed in.
"Mom and dad, why are you here?" Yi Qiu rushed forward and shouted to a couple.
Who could this couple be if they weren't Yi Qiu's father and mother? It's just that although Yi Qiu's parents are extremely strong, their faces look haggard. Yi Qiu's heart can't help but feel distressed for a while and then tighten again. Although he
He guessed something, but Yi Qiu couldn't believe what he guessed.
"Ah, it's Xiaoqiu. Mom's Qiu is back? I miss you so much." Yi Qiu's parents were overjoyed when they saw Yi Qiu. At the same time, Yi Qiu's mother hugged Yi Qiu in pain before she could finish her words.
.
Although Yi Qiu's father didn't say anything, his eyes looked at Yi Qiu with a loving expression.
Seeing his mother holding him in such pain, the corners of Yi Qiu's eyes turned slightly red, but his heart sank involuntarily.
Yi Qiu patted her mother's back slightly to express comfort, and at the same time whispered: "Mom, did something happen to our family? Otherwise, why would my parents be here?"
Hearing Yi Qiu's words, Yi Qiu's mother couldn't help but hug Yi Qiu tightly, as if she would never see Yi Qiu again as soon as she gave him away.
When Yi Qiu felt slightly heartbroken, he looked at his father: "Ah, dad, has something happened?"
Yi Qiu's father sighed after hearing this and said: "Since Xiaoqiu has found you here, I guess you know about the addition of a younger brother, right?"
Yi Qiu nodded slightly, and at the same time a bad feeling came over him.
Seeing Yi Qiu's expression, Yi's father continued: "Your mother and I have also hoarded some silver coins in the past few years, so we want to hand over the mistress's stone to a college in this city, so that we can receive enlightenment at a young age, which will help us become a mistress in the future.
The growth of stone is naturally beneficial."
Father Yi said with a hint of bitterness on his face, and then continued: "I just didn't expect that not long ago, the old master from the college came to our house to ask if Xiao Sanshi had been taken back by us, because Xiao Sanshi had been dead for many days.
When your mother and I heard the news while we were still in the academy, it was like a bolt from the blue."
Having said this, Yi's father looked at Yi's mother who was still hugging Yi Qiu tightly and said: "Look at your mother, she has been getting thinner and thinner these days. In the city lord's mansion, the city lord only used it when everyone was making too much noise.
Fang came out to explain, saying that the guards in the city were still investigating the matter, and would inform everyone once they had any clues. However, just once or twice, he had said this many times. As the city lord, he didn't even know about the disappearances in the city.
It’s really heartbreaking to be unable to detect it.”
When Yi Qiu heard this, although he had been prepared for it, when his father said this, he couldn't help but feel sad. His brother, whom he had never met before, was lost like this.
"Except the city lord, is there no one investigating this matter?" Yi Qiu asked confused.
"The biggest person in this city is the city lord. Some of the other officials cannot bear the daily questioning from people in this city. Now they are almost all hiding in the city lord's mansion. Although many heroes broke into the city lord's mansion during the period to find out.
However, they were all arrested by the palace guards, and none of the captured heroes left the city lord's palace, and their whereabouts are unknown now." Father Yi sighed.
Hearing this, Yi Qiu couldn't help but said coldly: "The stolen children in the city were not investigated clearly, but people in the city were arrested. The city lord is really good at it."
Saying this, a cold light suddenly flashed in Yi Qiu's eyes. Yi's father across from him couldn't help but shudder when he saw it, and couldn't help but look at Yi Qiu in confusion.
Seeing his father's expression, Yi Qiu said sheepishly: "My child has achieved some success in his studies in the past few years. Parents, let's go back and think of a solution. Waiting here for news from the city lord is not an option right now."
Although Yi Qiu's parents seemed to have unusual expressions after the loss of their second son, under Yi Qiu's persuasion, they still led Yi Qiu back to the house they purchased in Qingcheng.
.
At this time, Yi Qiu was naturally not in the mood to look at the house that his parents bought in Qingcheng. As soon as he returned home, Yi Qiu took out a bottle of pills and fed his parents one pill each, and saw that their complexions improved slightly.
After that, Fang felt a little relieved.
"Ah, Xiaoqiu, didn't Mr. Peng say that you went to a large sect to cultivate immortality? Why are you back now?" Yi's father was shocked after taking Yi Qiu's elixir and asked.
"My child came down the mountain this time because he accepted a mission from the sect. Now it seems that this mission is somewhat related to the disappearance of my younger brother!" Yi Qiu's eyes flashed slightly and he said slowly.
"Ah, that's it. I thought it was the sect that kicked you out. At the beginning, Mr. Peng told his parents that it would be decades before Xiaoqiu could go home.
I didn't expect to see my Qiu'er so soon." A slight smile appeared on Yi's mother's face.
Immediately, Yi Qiu took out several bottles of elixirs and handed them to his parents. After giving them some instructions, he smiled and said, "Mom and dad, you don't have to worry. When there are fewer guards in the city lord's mansion at night, Qiu'er will go to the city lord's palace."
Let’s go to the mansion and see how the city lord’s investigation went.”
When Yi's mother suddenly heard this, her expression changed greatly, and she hurriedly shouted: "This can't be done. Mother just lost your brother. If Qiu'er makes any mistakes again, how can I live as a mother?
"
Yi's father couldn't help but nodded when he heard what Yi's mother said. He looked at Yi Qiu with a look of urgency in his eyes, fearing that he would lose his eldest son again.
Seeing his parents acting like this, Yi Qiu couldn't help but smile and take a few steps back, stretching out his left palm. After a few breaths, his left palm first gathered a wind blade and pointed it at the mouth of a bowl in the courtyard.
After slashing the thick tree, the green wind blade disappeared into the tree in a flash. In the surprised eyes of Yi Qiu's parents, they saw the tree slowly falling to the ground.
At the same time, Yi Qiu condensed another fireball and pointed at the fallen tree. The fireball turned into a graceful arc and fell on it, burning the tree in a matter of seconds.
While Yi Qiu's parents were speechless, Yi Qiu smiled slightly, waved a cloud at random, and then casually performed various postures in the air at home.
After Yi Qiu landed, after a while, Yi's mother couldn't help but said with great joy in the surprise of Yi's father: "It turns out that my Qiu'er is now like a god. If this is the case, mother will be a little relieved, but she is still
Be careful."
Yi Qiu nodded in agreement, put aside these annoying things, and just chatted with his parents about some interesting things. After finally making his parents laugh, it was already dark.
