Chapter 126 Return to Homeland
Li Chunfeng told the six elders not to worry. He had no intention of annexing Qingyou Valley. In order to reassure them, Li Chunfeng thought for a while and decided not to send his disciples over. He asked Senior Wei to lead a few masters of the Upper Three Realms on his behalf.
This will do.
The six elders nodded in agreement. This not only greatly strengthened the strength of Qingyou Valley, but also prevented Feng Wuya from annexing Qingyou Valley. It was simply killing two birds with one stone.
Li Chunfeng then said to the six elders: "Although Qingyou Valley is an affiliated sect of Feng Wuya, normally we will not interfere with your development, let alone bully the weak. We will only wait for you as an equal."
With Li Chunfeng's guarantee, the six elders felt a lot more relieved. Just as they were about to leave, they were stopped by him again, "I will leave Qingyou Valley in the next few days and return to Xinye City to visit and pay my respects to Grandpa."
, and finally return to Fengwuya."
Hearing this, the six elders were not surprised. They knew very well that although Li Chunfeng was the leader of their Qingyou Valley, he had never regarded this place as his own sect and would always leave, but they couldn't say it.
What, I had to silently agree.
When the three girls Gongsun Mingyue and Tian Xi heard that Li Chunfeng was going to Xinye City, they followed him no matter what. In the end, he only took Qian Qian with him.
Gongsun Mingyue's target is too conspicuous, and it is easy for him to be targeted by Mingyue Sect. If he is really intercepted, Li Chunfeng's current martial arts skills will not be able to protect his mother. As for the two little girls, Li Chunfeng and the others accompanied their mother in Tianyun
In order to meet their expenses, he was not stingy about money. He directly gave them a thousand taels of silver notes to spend. For the sake of so much money, these two little girls
Agree to stay.
The reason why Li Chunfeng asked the little girl Qianqian to follow him was because, as her master, he wanted her to see the scenery outside. She had never left Tianyun City in her entire life. She had only seen the dangers of the world.
Only then can she grow.
On the same day, the master and the apprentice packed their bags and secretly left Qingyou Valley. In order not to attract attention, Li Chunfeng brought a bamboo hat to cover his face. As for the little girl, Li Chunfeng did not give it to her.
Disguise, after all, it was her first time to step into the world, and not many people knew her.
This little girl, Sissi, was very happy for her first trip away from home. She jumped up and down along the way, but she lost interest after not going very far. All the places the master picked along the way were some barren mountains and there were not even a decent family.
, it’s really a bit boring.
After many days of traveling, the two were still twenty or thirty miles away from Xinye City. Li Chunfeng looked at the sun in the sky and saw that it was already noon, so he decided to find a place to eat before setting off.
After some searching, they finally found a wine stall next to a fork-in-the-road intersection. This wine stall was very simple. They had set up a shed and set up a few tables. The business was pretty good, and two tables were already occupied.
He was going to take a rest there, but Li Chunfeng was a little strange. This fork in the road could lead to the four directions of east, west, north and south. Every road was very busy, with carriages and pedestrians passing by all the time. Only the road leading to
No one goes to the Xinye City road in the east. Could something happen there?
Li Chunfeng and the two came to the wine stall and sat at a table outside. When the waiter saw a guest coming, he immediately stepped forward to clean the table and said politely: "You two, what would you like to drink?"
liquor?"
Li Chunfeng said: "Bring me a pot of good wine and some dishes."
"Come on." The waiter shouted and entered the shed. After a while, the food and wine were served, and asked curiously: "Where are you two going?"
Li Chunfeng pointed in the direction of Xinye City. The guy's expression immediately became nervous and he lowered his voice and said, "Do you two want to go to Xinye City?"
Li Chunfeng said curiously: "I haven't been back for many years, and I want to go home to worship my ancestors. What, what happened to Xinye City?"
The guy said mysteriously: "I advise you two not to go. It's best to leave here as soon as possible."
The little girl Sissi really couldn't stand the hesitation of this guy, so she scolded her, "You guy, just say what you want to say, why bother beating around the bush here."
When Li Chunfeng saw Qianqian being so rude, he scolded her: "Qianqian, don't be rude!"
After You Qianqian was scolded by her master, she immediately became honest and sat down in her seat to eat her food obediently.
Li Chunfeng said to the waiter: "Children are not sensible, so don't be angry."
The guy said it was okay and then continued: "My lord, you don't know something. Some time ago, a plague suddenly broke out in Xinye City, and many people died. Since then, strange things have been happening there. I heard that it is haunted."
Why did Li Chunfeng hear this matter so familiar? It was so similar to the situation in the small town they encountered when they first left Qingyou Valley. Could someone be causing trouble?
"Don't sound so scary. There are no ghosts in the world."
The waiter said very confidently: "There is indeed a ghost. A few days ago, a few young people did not believe in evil spirits and insisted on going in. What happened? They were so scared that they ran out that night and got crazy the next day.
, so I would like to advise you two guests not to go in."
After listening to this person's account, Sissi had a look of disbelief. While eating her food, she muttered: "What nonsense ghosts, I don't believe it? Or you can ask the master."
Li Chunfeng completely agreed with the little girl's idea and said: "There are no ghosts in the world. It's just people who use ghosts to cause trouble. Most of the time, people's hearts are scarier than ghosts."
These words greatly shocked the shop assistant. Just when he was about to ask about the other party's identity, he found that the two of them had already paid and left. He shouted to Li Chunfeng: "Guest, what's your name?"
?”
Before Li Chunfeng could answer, Qianqian turned around and shouted to the shop assistant: "My master's surname is Li and his first name is Chunfeng."
Li Chunfeng knocked on Qianqian's head and said with a smile: "Talk too much."
The waiter put the pieces of silver on the table and said to himself in disbelief: "Is he the famous Li Chunfeng and Li Shaoxia in the world?"
It was already ten o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived at Xinye City. At this time, the city gate was in dilapidated condition. The plaque with the three characters "Xinye City" engraved on it hung diagonally on the city wall, as if it was about to fall down.
When the two walked into the city, the originally lively streets had become very desolate, with debris scattered everywhere, and white paper and cloth hanging on the door of every house, as if someone had really died.
When Sissi saw how desolate the city was, she began to wonder if there really was a ghost here. Li Chunfeng patted Sissi's little head and comforted her: "Don't think too much. If there really is a ghost, it's not..."
Do you have any masters? If they dare to come out, I will beat them to pieces."
With her master as her backing, Sissi's courage suddenly increased, "That's right, I still have a master, so what are you afraid of?"
Li Chunfeng looked at the familiar streets becoming so desolate, and felt a sense of sadness in his heart. His grandfather once took him shopping here many times, which was the happiest moment of his childhood. Now, these beautiful memories have been destroyed like this.
He must find out the murderer behind this and seek justice for the people here.
This time, there were no corpses on both sides of the road. Even if the two of them blocked their auras, their opponents had already noticed that they were not ordinary people, and they could not scare them with these crooked tricks.
Sissi looked at the surrounding houses and asked curiously: "Master, are there any living people here?"
As a master of the upper three realms, Li Chunfeng could naturally detect the aura here. He felt it carefully and then replied: "There are still living people here, but judging from their aura, they are all old people and children. As for
Those young people must have fled here!"
The sky gradually darkened, and Li Chunfeng took Qianqian to the place where he once lived. After the two came to the door, Li Chunfeng took out the key and prepared to open the lock. After so many years, the lock had long been embroidered.
Unable to open it, Li Chunfeng had no choice but to jump in from the yard with Qianqian.
At this time, the yard was already overgrown with weeds. I don’t know when a jujube tree grew. It was already covered with jujubes. Li Chunfeng picked one, wiped it on his sleeve, and put it in his mouth. It was so sweet.
.
Sissi also followed the master's example and picked a date, rubbed it and put it in her mouth. It was really delicious, so she quickly picked a lot, put it in her sleeve and ate it slowly.
After five or six years of wind and rain, the houses have not suffered much damage. Except for some being a little old, they are still habitable.
Opening the door of the main room, Li Chunfeng took Qianqian and walked in. It was already covered with dust and cobwebs, but the furnishings in the room remained the same as before, except that they became Li Chunfeng's age.
He was only 18 years old then, and now he is almost in his prime.
Li Chunfeng was a little moved by the scene, and his eyes became blurry for a while.
Sissi looked at this place and asked curiously: "Is this the home where the master grew up?"
Li Chunfeng nodded, and then he simply tidied up the room, gathered some firewood, and started a fire in the room before he sat down.
Sissi was eating dates and looking at the fire. She felt a little bored, so she asked her master to tell her a story about her childhood. As she listened, the girl actually fell asleep lying on Li Chunfeng's lap, still holding the hand.
Freshly picked dates.
Li Chunfeng let the girl rest his head like this, fearing that she would be cold, and took out a piece of his own clothes from the package behind him to cover her. Li Chunfeng felt a little more at ease.
