Blind Ghostwriter: Starts with the full level of Nine Yang Magic Skill

Chapter 161 Big Storm

Outside Qingzhou City, the mountains and plains were silent. Here, the Xuannv Palace group had set up camp. The night was as dark as ink, and all around was hushed, with only the faint sounds of wind and insects interspersed.

In the camp, torches were held high and burning fiercely, and tents were arranged in a staggered manner. Under the interweaving of firelight and night, mottled black shadows were cast, and the mountains and forests in the distance were hazy.

The atmosphere in the camp was still depressing. Everyone was very quiet, and even when they spoke, they spoke in a very low voice.

There were three coffins in the tent in the middle.

Qi Miaoxuan, holding a handful of incense, was circling the coffins, muttering something to himself. He then placed three sticks of incense in front of each coffin. Then, Qi Miaoxuan took the incense and circled outside the tent, placing incense sticks in all directions, muttering, "Any wandering ghosts or landowners passing through this place, may your souls enjoy this..."

This is the custom in Qingzhou.

Especially the elderly people believe in this very much. When transporting corpses, they insist on greeting the local ghosts at the places where they stop so that the deceased can rest in peace.

Of course, it is impossible to tell whether it is true or not.

But, it is mainly a kind of psychological comfort.

"Uncle Master."

Mu Baifeng, the Grand Elder of Xuannv Palace, walked out of the tent and said with a bow, "Let's go have some food. I'll have Qixia and the others light a fire and cook. It should be almost done by now."

Mu Baifeng was a disciple of Yuxu Patriarch Yan Xianmei. According to seniority, she was naturally a junior to Qi Miaoxuan. Although she knew about the grievances between Qi Miaoxuan and Yan Xianmei, as a junior, she could only pretend to be ignorant. Moreover, now that Yan Xianmei had passed away, Qi Miaoxuan had come to attend the funeral, so the Xuannv Palace had to treat him with courtesy.

Qi Miaoxuan took out a small pouch from her medicine bag and handed it to Mu Baifeng, saying, "This is my special realgar powder. You can have people sprinkle some around the camp later. It doesn't need to be too much, just a little bit will do. My realgar powder is very effective. Only a small amount is needed to keep snakes and insects away."

"Thank you, uncle master." Mu Baifeng took the realgar powder and bowed to express his gratitude.

Qi Miaoxuan waved his hand and said, "I don't need to teach you anything else. You've been walking the Jianghu for decades, so you should have some basic vigilance. However, I still want to remind you. After the battle at the Cliff of Broken Souls, the reputation of the Xuannv Palace has plummeted, and there will be constant trouble. There's no guarantee that there won't be people who want to take advantage of the situation. You must adjust your mindset and stop walking the Jianghu with that old mentality."

Mu Baifeng nodded and said, "Thank you for the reminder, uncle."

At this moment,
Qi Miaoxuan's ears twitched slightly, and he suddenly looked up at the forest and said, "Someone is coming! Two... no... three, three riders!"

Mu Baifeng looked at Qi Miaoxuan in surprise. Qi Miaoxuan had actually noticed before her that three riders were heading towards their camp.

But after thinking about it, she felt it was normal.

She had just subconsciously regarded Qi Miaoxuan as a miracle doctor, but she had forgotten that Qi Miaoxuan was famous for his martial arts when he was young. At that time, all the Nine Righteous Men of Qingzhou were top-notch masters in the world. It was not until they dispersed that Qi Miaoxuan gradually became a generation of medicine saint.

As the sound of horse hooves came,
The disciples of Xuannv Palace also became alert.

Qi Miaoxuan and Mu Baifeng hurried over. Before they had taken a few steps, they heard a disciple from the Xuannv Palace shout, "Don't panic, everyone! It's Yunzhou's Hero Gu and Lady Gu!"

Immediately, Qi Miaoxuan and Mu Baifeng looked at each other, and then they hurried over. After just a few steps, they saw Gu Mo and Gu Chudong being surrounded by a group of Xuannv Palace disciples, and a burly man was accompanying them.

"Iron Head! Why are you with Hero Gu?"

Qi Miaoxuan recognized the strong man.

Tietou quickly ran to Qi Miaoxuan and said, "Uncle Qi, I'm glad you're okay. I went to ask Hero Gu to save you."

"Save me?" Qi Miaoxuan was slightly stunned, then saw Tietou's hand and asked in surprise: "What's wrong with your hand?"

"It's a long story!"

Immediately, Tietou quickly recounted his experience.

After recounting what had happened, he said, "Uncle Master, Lu Canyang is not dead. I can confirm that the man was definitely Lu Canyang. He has returned for revenge, and his next target is definitely you. Uncle Master, please believe me."

After listening to Tietou's words,

Qi Miaoxuan's expression became very solemn, and he slowly said, "I believe you. I had already noticed that there was someone behind the duel at the Cliff of Broken Souls and the appearance of the Gou Chen Demon Sword, especially the appearance of the Gou Chen Demon Sword.

The decisive battle at the Cliff of Broken Souls could be said to be the result of the failure of Yuxu Patriarch's plan, which was discovered by Ye Jinglan. However, the appearance of the Gou Chen Demon Blade was definitely abnormal. The Golden Blade Sect, the Long Eyebrow Sword Sect, and the Chen Family were successively wiped out.

This is very illogical. If Bai Ying did it, and his purpose was to get the Gou Chen Demon Sword, he should have acted secretly. Why would he have to kill the entire family, causing trouble for himself by inviting the Xuannv Palace to investigate?
Then, at Zhengqi Villa, the Gou Chen Demon Blade ended up in the hands of Hero Gu, but the person behind it never showed up. Finally, word of the Gou Chen Demon Blade suddenly spread throughout the Qingzhou martial arts world. It seemed like each of these events had one purpose: to make the Gou Chen Demon Blade's appearance a big deal."

Tietou asked doubtfully, "What's the purpose?"

Qi Miaoxuan said: "If Lu Canyang is manipulating this matter, then I know what he is trying to do."

Qi Miaoxuan pondered for a moment and said, "Under normal circumstances, if Ye Jinglan and Chu Tianqing were to fight, Master Dingchan and Patriarch Yuxu would not come to the Cliff of Broken Souls in person. Well, Patriarch Yuxu might come, but Master Dingchan definitely wouldn't come. He's not interested in these things."

Tietou suddenly realized, "Did he deliberately let the Gou Chen Demon Sword appear and cause such a commotion just to lure both Patriarch Yuxu and Master Dingchan to the Cliff of Broken Souls? In other words, the Cliff of Broken Souls turning into a showdown between five masters was also manipulated by Lu Canyang? His goal was revenge, to kill Master Dingchan and Patriarch Yuxu? Killing with a borrowed knife?"

Qi Miaoxuan pondered and said, "It should be."

"What should we do now?" Tietou asked, "Lu Canyang will definitely come to kill you, uncle." Qi Miaoxuan looked at Gu Mo and said, "I'm afraid that Hero Gu has also been implicated."

Gu Chudong asked doubtfully, "What does this have to do with my brother?"

Tietou also looked confused.

Gu Mo's pupils shrank slightly, and he said, "Senior Qi, do you mean the Gou Chen Demon Blade?"

Qi Miaoxuan nodded and said, "That's right. With Lu Canyang's personality, there's no way he would just give up the Gou Chen Demon Blade. He was driven mad by the desire to create the Gou Chen Demon Blade back then, and now he's been hiding for decades. How could he just be seeking revenge... Hmm? Speaking of which, the situation at the Divine Weapon Villa isn't necessarily any better than mine. Now that everyone in the martial arts world knows that the Gou Chen Demon Blade is in the Divine Weapon Villa, then Lu Canyang naturally knows it too."

Gu Chudong asked in surprise, "Then, isn't Shenbing Villa also in danger now?"

Gu Mo said in a deep voice: "It's not just the Divine Weapon Villa, I'm afraid I'm also in danger."

As soon as Gu Mo said this, everyone present immediately understood what he meant.

Although Gu Mo and Lu Canyang had no grudges against each other, in his current situation, he was naturally on the opposite side of Lu Canyang.

First, Lu Canyang definitely wants the Gou Chen Demon Blade, which now belongs to Gu Mo. Second, Lu Canyang wants to kill Qi Miaoxuan, while Gu Mo wants Qi Miaoxuan to heal his eyes.

Qi Miaoxuan's face was very solemn, and he said, "If I were Lu Canyang, I would definitely keep a close eye on Hero Gu. After all, whether it's snatching the Gou Chen Demon Sword or killing me, the biggest difficulty lies with Hero Gu.

Now that Hero Gu has left the city, this is the best time for Lu Canyang to snatch the Gou Chen Demon Sword."

Gu Mo thought for a moment and said, "Senior Qi, for safety's sake, why don't you come back to the city with me now!"

"Yes," Gu Chudong also advised: "Senior Qi, if it is really Lu Canyang, your current situation is very dangerous. Returning to Qingzhou City is the safest. Not only is my brother here, but there are also the Six Gates in the city. Even if Lu Canyang wants to take action, it won't be that easy!"

Tietou also hurriedly said: "Uncle Master Qi, Master Gu and Lady Gu are right. I know you want to attend the funeral of Master Dingchan and Master Yuxu, but the situation is different now!"

Mu Baifeng also said, "Uncle Master, I also think you should return to Qingzhou City with Hero Gu."

Qi Miaoxuan rolled his eyes and said, "What are you thinking? Did I say I won't go back? Don't think I'm not smart enough just because I'm old, okay? Sending a funeral to fulfill our brotherhood is important, but is it more important than my life? What are you thinking? I've faked my own death before, you don't think I'm someone who values ​​formalities over life, do you? What are you thinking! I'm old, not stupid!"

Tietou: “…”

Gu Chudong: “…”

……

Immediately,

Qi Miaoxuan quickly returned to Qingzhou City with Gu Mo and the others. On the way back, he even followed Gu Mo closely, pushing Tietou aside. He also took out a lot of elixirs from his medicine box and distributed them to Gu Mo and the others. They were all elixirs for emergency healing and power recovery.

It can be seen that Qi Miaoxuan is really afraid of death.

However, the journey was smooth, and the few people, carrying torches, soon arrived outside Qingzhou City.

There is no curfew in Qian State, and the city gates are not closed at night.

Just as they arrived at the city gate, they saw a group of people from the Six Gates coming out, led by Zhuo Qingfeng.

Zhuo Qingfeng walked straight over and said, "Brother Gu, I've been waiting for you here for a long time."

Gu Mo asked doubtfully, "Are you waiting here for me? Is there something urgent?"

Zhuo Qingfeng nodded and said, "There is an urgent matter." Zhuo Qingfeng took a deep breath and said, "Chu Tianqing and Ye Jinglan were kidnapped!"

Everyone in the group was shocked.

They all looked at Zhuo Qingfeng with suspicion, suspecting he was playing a strange joke. After all, what he just said sounded too weird.

Ye Jinglan, the number one expert in Qingzhou and the newly promoted tenth on the Qian Kingdom's Heavenly Ranking, and the second best expert in Qingzhou were abducted. I mean abducted.

Several people wanted to say to Zhuo Qingfeng, listen to what you are saying.

Zhuo Qingfeng also noticed the suspicious expressions of the others and said, "This matter is indeed incredible, but the fact is that it did happen. Brother Gu, you should know that after the decisive battle at Broken Soul Cliff yesterday, Ye Jinglan and Chu Tianqing had little combat power in a short period of time. Therefore, their abduction is not impossible.

Chu Tianqing and Ye Jinglan were both seriously injured, so they were very worried. After all, there were countless people in the martial arts world who wanted to become famous overnight and were looking for the opportunity to kill them, so they both left and prepared to return to their respective forces.

On their way back, both teams were attacked by a mysterious individual. That individual was incredibly powerful, single-handedly slaughtering the masters of the Tian Dao Sect and Jiu Jiang League, and abducting Chu Tianqing and Ye Jinglan in full view of the crowd.

Gu Mo asked doubtfully, "That's not the case. Chu Tianqing and Ye Jinglan are both true martial artists. Even if they were seriously injured, they wouldn't be completely defenseless with their sword and spear abilities."

Zhuo Qingfeng said, "That's the strange thing. Both the people from the Tiandao Sect and the Jiujiang League said that the mysterious man used just one move to leave Chu Tianqing and Ye Jinglan completely defenseless. The two groups were attacked within less than half an hour, and it must have been done by the same person!"
