Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Sky Spirit Race

I sincerely said to Qiu Qingming: "You are really despicable!" Qiu Qingming's eyes suddenly turned knife-like, and he said, "You'd better follow me in peace, even if you are a descendant of a yin and yang scholar, so what? There is no one I fear in this world." I said: "I can accompany you to the Tianling clan, but I will not go down the deep well, even if I die." Qiu Qingming narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Why? What kind of secret is there?" I sneered and said, "Is it still a secret to let me know? You are a grand elder in vain, don't you know this rule?"

Qiu Qingming said briefly: "It's time to go on the road. I don't know how many troublesome things are waiting for us to solve." This time it was relatively peaceful. We arrived at the foot of the mountain smoothly all the way, bought tickets at the station, and arrived in Hubei Province after three days of wandering all the way.I didn't hear a word from him for the past three days. After getting off the car, Qiu Qingming sighed and said, "It's been eighteen years. I thought I would never have the chance to come back here again. Things in the world are really too unpredictable."

I said: "This is a good thing, you can see your former comrades-in-arms." Qiu Qingming said: "Here I only have subordinates or masters, but no friends." I said: "You still have a master? Who can be the master of the Great Elder?" Qiu Qingming said: "Now is not the time to satisfy your curiosity, let's do things first and then talk about it." I said: "Speaking of which, we are still related, uncle, if you still believe this, can you tell me the real cause of my father's death?" Qiu Qingming's expression changed immediately, and he said, "Why did you think of asking about this?"

I said: "I am not ignorant of this matter. I know that you once performed the task of assassinating my father with Liu Xiazi. But you gave up, but in the end you still chased and killed him with the dragon guards. I I just want to know if my father died at the hands of the prince." Qiu Qingming's complexion changed drastically, and he said, "Who did you listen to? No one knows about this except Liu Xiazi." I thought about it and said, "You should be able to guess it." Qiu Qingming said: "Impossible, if he said it, why do you need to ask me about the following things?"

I said: "You should know that I once entered the Tianling clan, and now the Tianling clan has grown up because of him, and no one knows this matter in more detail except Liu Xiazi. He didn't tell me how I knew, but There was an unexpected situation at that time, and I didn't have time to finish listening to what follows." Qiu Qingming stopped talking, and said after a long time: "You treat me as a three-year-old baby, and you can even believe such low-level lies? I'm not interested in where you got the news, but I'm the only one with the inside story about your father's death." No words will be revealed.”

I sneered and said, "I didn't expect you to be afraid?" Qiu Qingming said: "I am also a human being. Even if I am better than ordinary people, I am still just an ordinary person. I am not a god." I said: "You are one of the people who besieged my father, as far as I know, I will avenge this revenge on you sooner or later." Qiu Qingming said: "There is no problem. If you can really die by your hands, it will be considered a lucky thing. I will wait for you." He actually answered me like this, and I was completely speechless.After a long time, Qiu Qingming sighed and said, "Your father and I used to be life and death brothers. I am also very sad that he has come to the last step, but many things in the world are beyond my control. Of course, this is not for myself. Shirk responsibility, in short, you just know this."

I said, "You mean to say that my father's death has nothing to do with you?" Qiu Qingming said: "I will not disregard myself in front of you. He Kangtian's death is a tragedy, and all forces want his life. I have persuaded him more than once to think about his future, but... "He glanced at me at this point, and then his tone became a little low, "He chose to fight against the people of the world for the sake of your mother and son. The ending of death was already expected by everyone. The only difference lies in whose hands he died superior." I couldn't help feeling sad, and said, "I want to know one thing now, who killed my father?"

Qiu Qingming said: "Maybe you will know, maybe you won't know in this lifetime, but it doesn't depend on me. Okay, let's finish the things in front of us first. The deep well is a place that must be visited, no matter what Go down, it's important to me." I said: "It's not that I stop you, but I can't go down because I have gone down before." Qiu Qingming's eyes lit up immediately, and he said, "What did you find inside?" I said: "It is impossible for me to tell you about this. Everyone has their own secrets. You are forced to keep them. I promised others to keep them."

Qiu Qingming thought for a while and nodded, "I understand. I have long suspected that the old peacock is hiding in it, but I didn't expect it to be true." I didn't expect me to reveal the truth with just a few words. Qiu Qingming is really a cunning guy. I didn't panic and said, "Who is the old peacock?" Qiu Qingming seems to have seen through my practice of not having three hundred taels of silver here, but he didn't say anything, and walked forward with a smile. I followed him through several trains and cars and finally arrived at Baokang County. It borders the east of Shennongjia, but Qiu Qingming did not rush up the mountain, but found a small hotel to stay. After spending many days together, I gradually felt that he was not much different from ordinary people, so the relationship between him was better than it was at the beginning.

When I met him the next day, he surprised me. The eye-catching ephedra cloth robe had been replaced by a blue Chinese tunic suit that had been washed a bit whitish. His long silver-white hair had been cut short. Wearing a pair of glasses, he looks like a middle-aged intellectual who has no ambitions, and he can't see his original appearance at all. I said: "Even if you pretend to be like this, I'm afraid it's not easy to get in. It's impossible for ordinary people to exist in the Sky Spirit Race. It's unnecessary for you to do this." Qiu Qingming said: "I am not here to enter the Tianling clan, but to not be disturbed before entering the Tianling clan."

Although the hotel is not big, there is a free breakfast. I deliberately procrastinated and asked to have breakfast. Qiu Qingming walked towards the restaurant with me without saying a word.After stepping into the restaurant, he said to me: "There are people from the Tianling clan here, you'd better be careful, now your identity has been spread all over the Tianling clan, if you meet the dragon guards, you will definitely have big trouble." As soon as I entered the restaurant, I was stunned by the scene in front of me. I saw that the small restaurant was full of people with vicious expressions. These people were not good people at first glance, some had weird hairstyles, and some had naked bodies. Covered with tattoos, there are only two people sitting at a table in the middle, both of them are about forty years old, wearing black trench coats, tall and strong. Seeing us coming in, everyone looked at us, as if blaming us for being ignorant, Qiu Qingming pretended not to see anything, and went to pick out the buffet with a plate, this is definitely not from the Tianling clan, he looks like a gang of gangsters of.We each picked out the food but found that only the tables of the two middle-aged people had vacancies in the whole restaurant, and the buffet cannot be taken out of the restaurant, so Qiu Qingming walked up to the two of them and said politely: "Excuse me, is there anyone here?" ?” A strong young man on the table next to him stood up with a tigerish face, and was about to speak, when one of the middle-aged men waved to him and said, "There is no one here." The two of us sat across from them, Qiu Qingming buried his head in eating and drinking, and I clearly heard someone say: "Damn, two blind nerds." Qiu Qingming didn't seem to hear anything, she buried her head in her food.The two of them each lit a cigarette and started to smoke. The man who spoke before said, "How does the food taste here?" Unable to hear the accent, Qiu Qingming raised his head and raised his glasses with his hands, saying: "Not bad, you haven't eaten yet?" The man nodded without saying a word, his face suddenly changed, he pinched his cigarette and said, "You are finally here." I turned my back to the door, not knowing what happened, and was about to turn my head when Qiu Qingming stomped on me secretly. I immediately understood and continued to eat my own food. I only heard the sound of footsteps, and then a slender man sat next to me. From the facial features, there was nothing unusual, and he even had a bit of elegance.At this time Qiu Qingming put down the knife and fork in his hand and looked at him. The man subconsciously sized us up, but he didn't respond. It seems that he didn't know that the elder of the Tianling clan was standing next to him. One of the middle-aged people said to us: "Excuse me, I have something to talk about here, can you avoid it for a while, I think I have almost finished my meal." Qiu Qingming wiped his mouth and said, "Okay." Just as he was about to take me away, my wrist was already tightly held by the skinny man. He smiled and said to the middle-aged man, "Irrelevant people can come in here today." ? You treat me as a three-year-old child? Everyone sit here honestly, there is nothing that cannot be known to others." The middle-aged man was full of anger, but he didn't act too aggressively. After a while, he said: "You have so many eyes." As soon as the words were finished, the boss came in with a pot of water and made a glass of water for each of us at the table. The thin man said, "Old man, don't do business today, and don't let irrelevant people in." It turned out that this hotel was run by the Tianling tribe. I didn't expect them to dabble in this kind of business. Could it be that the Tianling tribe also want to diversify their business?Before finishing the thought, the thin man said, "Tell me, what do you mean?" The middle-aged man glanced at us and said, "Don't pretend to be confused with me, you must explain that matter, otherwise it's impossible to just let it go." The skinny man said with disdain on his face: "Let me explain to you, I'm giving you great face by not saying anything, are you going to ask for compensation?" The middle-aged man said: "Do you think you can bully people because you have a lot of people? Since we are in this business, we never thought about pretending to be bears. To put it bluntly, you have to withdraw from the Nanyin scene. We have been in it for eleven years and you Come in as soon as you say it, and treat us as a waste of all these years?" The thin man laughed loudly and said, "I know you're a bastard. A bastard needs face. I'll give you this face today. As long as you go out through this door peacefully, I promise nothing will happen." The other person who had been silent for a while finally couldn't hold back any longer and slapped the table, all the people at the other tables stood up.A bald man on the left made a gesture, and someone took out a five-shot single-barreled shotgun from under the table and handed it to him. After taking the gun, he immediately patted the thin man's head on the table and said, "Believe it or not!" Kill you with one shot?" The thin man still smiled and said: "I'm afraid you don't have the guts to kill people. If you have the guts, let him shoot." The two people looked at each other, as if they couldn't believe that there are such green-haired people in the world, but the thin man kept saying: "Shoot, shoot if you have the guts." Then he said sharply, " Fuck it." Finally the bald head couldn't help it, and fired a "boom". When the bullet passed in front of me, I felt the obvious scorching heat. It was a wonderful experience. At this moment, death passed me by.Just when I thought that a murder case was about to be staged, I saw the skinny man tilt his head slightly, and the bullet hit the ground next to him with a "snap", causing the gravel to fly. Everyone was taken aback except the Tianling people. I guess they never thought that such a person existed in the world, but before they could react, there was a bowstring sound, and the person who shot was shot in the chest. He shot an arrow, and then flew out backwards. In an instant, a burly man stood up from the chair, stretched out his hand to hold down the bumping bald head, only heard a "crash", the four legs of the table in front of him broke, and the bald head fell to the ground, twitched twice and stopped. Moved. The thin man glanced at him, his expression seemed to change, and he said, "Who are you?" But the man walked up to me and Qiu Qingming and asked, "Who are you?" Qiu Qingming said: "You also saw that we are just eating." At this time, all the Tianling warriors gathered around the thin man. They may feel that this man is different from those gangsters. The man ignored them and said to us: "Ordinary people are so calm when they see guns. If you Ordinary people, they were already blinded by the shot just now, I am not those idiots of the Sky Spirit Race, honestly, who are you guys?" The thin man seemed to blushed, but he didn't speak.Qiu Qingming took off the glasses he was wearing, straightened up slowly and said, "I told you, I'm just eating here, and I didn't intend to get involved in your dispute at all, but it seems that someone here disagrees with my leaving. " The thin man coughed dryly and said, "I didn't let you go because I thought there was something wrong with you." Qiu Qingming laughed loudly and said: "You treat me as one of them at all, and you can make such an idiot's judgment, but you are still a warrior of the Tianling clan. Blind Liu has only brought you this kind of stuff all these years, Tianling The clan is not far from extinction." The thin man's complexion changed drastically, he stood up and said, "The old man is an expert, please forgive me for being rude." Qiu Qingming said: "Your elder and I are friends of eight worshippers, you will know if you ask him." The thin man didn't dare to be negligent, and said: "Yes, today's affairs are all up to the seniors." The rule of the Tianling clan is that no matter how big or small, the most respected person present decides.Qiu Qingming's expression turned slightly better. At first, I thought he was going to sneak into the Sky Spirit Clan secretly, but I was still wondering how to enter their heavily guarded place. It seems that Qiu Qingming had already made preparations, and he planned to enter through the gate. .But having said that, this is the only way to enter the Sky Spirit Race. The person who came with the gang looked at us carefully and said, "Brother, who are you?" Qiu Qingming said: "If I'm not mistaken, you should be a dark wizard. Why do you think of meddling in such a thing?" The man narrowed his eyes and said, "This is not what you should ask." Qiu Qingming nodded and said, "Very well, the black wizard is finally getting restless now, did you get any news that you feel that your chance to stand out has come?" The man's expression changed: "What do you mean by that?" Qiu Qingming said: "Of course you know better than me what it means. What I hate most in this world are you guys, so you'd better not mess with me." The man hesitated for a while and said, "No matter who you are, today's matter has something to do with me, so I have to take care of it." Qiu Qingming nodded and said: "I understand what you mean, so I have no intention of driving you away, but you should know that staying here is definitely not a good choice." The other people immediately became nervous, but the man said calmly: "I understand what you mean, but I have no choice in many things." Qiu Qingming sighed and said: "Having no choice is actually better than having a choice. There is only one road in Huashan, and you can't do it if you don't take it, but your choice is wrong today." Suddenly there were footsteps at the door, I turned my head and saw the white-haired young man had come in with four or five people. He was Qiu Qingming's son, and he had gone to the gloomy alley with an ugly old man to find him. Axue, I have a pretty good impression of him. Qiu Qingming said: "Why are you here?" He said, "Blind Liu asked me to come here." The thin man suddenly realized, and hurriedly brought his subordinates to Qiu Qingming to respectfully salute: "Longbow Liu Qianqiu led his troops to welcome the Great Elder." The black wizard's expression changed immediately, and he said, "Are you Qiu Qingming?" Qiu Qingming said: "Do you still need me to prove it to you?" The black wizard sighed and said, "At first I thought there was a chance of winning, but I didn't expect to meet you. It's really unlucky. Today I admit defeat, so let's go." The middle-aged man got up and said: "What, I left before I hit you, my mother paid such a high price to invite you..." After the words fell, he heard "Oops" and held his left hand, only to see that his left hand had changed. It was pitch black, as if stained with ink, the black wizard said viciously: "If you dare to say another word of nonsense, I will kill you today." These gangsters are a cruel word to the common people, but they have no way to deal with these non-human beings. No one dares to speak. The spirit race is the enemy, but because of my arrival, they are retreating, so what can you people do?" The black wizard's face turned red and then pale, but he didn't know how to answer him. After a while, he turned around and went out. Seeing that the general had withdrawn first, the gangsters didn't dare to stay, and walked out of the dining room one after another. The fight disappeared in the blink of an eye.Qiu Qingming said to the thin man, "What's going on?" The thin man said: "They are a gang of hooligans that just sprang up in the local area." Qiu Qingming sneered and said, "Is there anyone more rascal than you? If they dare to seek food in your territory, they won't just rely on that black wizard, right?" The skinny man blushed and said, "I don't know. This is the first time we have dealt with each other today, but these people have a very tough attitude. I thought they didn't know what to do and were bold. I didn't expect that there was a black wizard behind them." Qiu Qingming said: "Don't think that you are the only ones in the world. If it weren't for me today, you would suffer a lot if you don't do it well." The thin man said: "Yes, I have been taught." Qiu Qingming didn't say anything, got up and said: "It's time to go, don't waste time here." The moment he left the hotel, the boss said, "Are you going to leave this time?" Qiu Qingming said: "I haven't thought about it that much, let's take one step at a time." They knew each other before, so Qiu Qingming didn't choose this hotel randomly. The soldiers of the Longbow tribe walked more and more slowly, Qiu Qingming seemed to know that they were doing this intentionally, so he walked faster and faster, and they disappeared after a while.At the entrance, Qiu Qingming said, "Who asked you to pick me up?" The young man was taken aback and said, "If I don't come, how will you get in?" Qiu Qingming said: "I am the great elder of the Tianling clan, without you I would not be able to enter my place? What a joke." I thought he was totally unreasonable, but the young man didn't dare to talk back to him, he lowered his head and said, "Yes, I understand." The entrance of the Heavenly Spirit Clan is not accessible to ordinary people, because the water area is actually not too short. Looking back, the reason why I was able to complete it may be because I am different from ordinary people, otherwise half the way would be enough to suffocate people to death up. After passing through the narrow and dark underwater road, I once again entered the holy land of the Celestials, which is still as beautiful as before, and the dragon guards are still doing Tai Chi peacefully.This time I observed carefully, but I didn't see the prince who was missing an arm. Qiu Qingming stood beside the dragon guard and stopped moving. The young man whispered, "Isn't father going back to the station?" Qiu Qingming said: "Let Blind Liu come to see me." The young man said: "This——you haven't come back for a long time. Blind Liu is now the head of the four clans. He may not give you this face." Qiu Qingming said: "Don't worry, he will definitely give me this face." The young man had no choice but to go to the jar-like castle. Not long after, he saw Longbow warriors dressed in white coming out of the exit in two rows, lined up neatly on both sides. The bow, shining in the sun, looks mighty and handsome, and I didn't see them last time.Qiu Qingming sneered and said, "Blind Liu took all the gold from the Tianling clan to make bows and arrows for his subordinates." After a while, I saw a slender man in white walking out of the castle, and my heart skipped a beat, because he was the first person from the Sky Spirit Tribe to attack my father, the elder of the Longbow Tribe.Although this man was blind, he couldn't tell at all. He strode up to Qiu Qingming without relying on any tools, hugged him and said, "Brother Qiu, you are finally back. that is really good." Qiu Qingming said: "I have guarded Longtan for fifteen years, and this year is considered to be the end of my term, I will come back immediately to see, are you all okay?" Blind Liu said: "It would be better to have you. I have been so busy all these years. Thinking about the days when I was working under your command, at least I can rest easy." After saying that, he turned his head to me and stared at me. I really doubted that he was not blind at all, and asked, "Who is this little brother?" Qiu Qingming said: "He is my nephew." Blind Liu laughed and said, "That's an honored guest..." After saying that, he immediately changed his tune, "I was wrong, this little brother should be said to be an honored guest, Brother Qiu is originally from here." Qiu Qingming said: "Old Liu, don't put on airs here. I am not here this time to get the seat of the Great Elder. I just want to get some things, and I will leave after I get them." Blind Liu said: "Brother is underestimating me, Blind Liu, by saying that. You will be my big brother for a day, and you will always be my big brother. I am willing to be a younger brother in front of you. Now that you are back this time, you can't leave, otherwise you will beat me." s face." Qiu Qingming laughed twice and said: "You are so polite, I can't help but appreciate it, let's not talk about it for now, we will talk about it after I finish the matter." The two laughed hypocritically, hugging each other shoulders towards the castle. The white-haired young man walked up to me and said, "You come with me." He didn't take me into the castle, but took me to the dense forest far away from the castle.I saw a huge Xunlong standing motionless on the green grass, its long mane reaching the ground was blown by the breeze, it looked majestic and beautiful, this pure white Xunlong should be the boy's mount, because I saw it in the gloomy alley, accompanied by a huge black, ugly and ferocious horse. The person riding on that horse seemed to be his servant, but it didn't look like a small character. The forest is wide and lush, but there is a winding forest path.The young man led me inward, surrounded by lush flowers and plants, there were many flowers and shrubs that I couldn't name at all, they looked mysterious and strange, after walking two steps, the young man suddenly stopped and said: "Fei'er, come here. " Seeing that Xunlong came to us in two steps, the young man reached out and stroked the horse's mane and said, "Go where you should go, don't wait for me here all the time, it's dangerous, understand?" The horse seemed to be spiritual. It neighed a long time, turned around and headed for the depths of the dense forest. I said, "Is this horse your mount? It's so beautiful." The boy said: "We have been together since childhood, it is my best friend." I tentatively asked: "Are all Xunlongs so beautiful? Are there any more vicious ones?" The young man turned to look at me, with a puzzled look on his face and said, "What do you mean?" I was taken aback and said, "Don't worry too much, I'm just curious and asked casually." It’s okay if you don’t say these words, once you say it, it basically means that there is no silver three hundred taels here, the young man was silent for a long time before he said: “Did you see something?” He was already suspicious, but I wouldn't admit it anyway, so I immediately denied it: "The first time I saw your mount, I thought it was so beautiful, so I wonder if all Xunlong are in this form ?” The boy didn't say anything, and walked in without saying a word, I don't know if he was guilty, I always felt that he seemed to be in a bad mood.In the depths of the woods, there were four or five huge wooden houses inside. It turned out that there was not only one castle for the Tianling tribe to live in. He opened one of the doors and said coldly, "You will live here." Then he turned and left. When I entered the house, I was almost taken aback.Although it is a wooden house, the decoration inside is extremely luxurious. It has all the configurations that a five-star hotel suite should have. Moreover, all the metal objects are glittering and heavy, as if they are all made of gold.It is said that the Tianling clan is rich, but it is beyond my expectation to have so much money. I sat on the large and comfortable sofa and looked at the scenery outside the window. This place is very suitable for rest and recuperation. It has been a long time, and I have almost forgotten what it feels like to be "tranquil". Today, I finally experienced it again. back. The most amazing thing about the Tianling tribe is that they have electricity. I really don’t know where they got it. I turned on the TV and watched it for a while, but then I felt bored and closed my eyes for a while.When I opened my eyes again, I found that it was already dark. I subconsciously felt that this was another dream, not that I was really awake. However, in the past, my dreams were in other places, but this time it was in the wooden house. It wasn't a dream, all the furnishings around me were the same as when I first entered the house, I took a closer look and became more puzzled in my heart. I wanted to go out of the house to have a look, but I didn't expect to hear whispers as soon as I arrived at the door, but the voice was very strange, like a human voice, but the words were not human, could it be haunted?Thinking of this, my scalp tingled for a while, and then I thought that even if I was haunted by ghosts, I would still be a descendant of the ghost head, so what was so scary, I decided to open the door and go out after a while.I heard two more "croaking" toads, and then there was no sound, but it didn't take long before I heard the sound of "swiping" outside, which seemed to be the sound of footsteps on the leaves.Then a weird and ugly face appeared on the glass window, I was caught off guard, I took a few steps back in fright, and fell into the sofa.
