When I heard this, my scalp went numb. With a trembling voice, I asked, "Can it be that the duck neck that you had in your hands was unexpectedly the neck of Lord Ghost Cart?"
Bai Jie's ears reddened and he nodded embarrassedly. "That's right, I was muddle-headed at that time and actually chopped off his neck like a duck …"
This Immortal swears that this Immortal will never eat ducks' necks again!
The bright figure of the ghost car disappeared out of the cave like a meteor, following its owner. My heart was filled with regret, I couldn't bear to see my lover become a family member. It was a great regret in my life!
Qing Ling and I were the only ones left in the cave. I asked him, "The ghost car ran away! Should we chase after him or not? "
Qing Ling slowly returned the sword back into its scabbard and replied, "It's useless even if we catch him. It was said that High Immortal Bai Ze of the Snowy Region Divine Mountain had a powerful mana and was able to rejuvenate people. Even the underworld's Dark God, upon seeing him, had to treat him with respect; his disciples and servants all received his favor, causing them to have extraordinary abilities. This ghost carriage was also a close servant of his, so its ability must be extremely strong. Previously, I only managed to bind him because he was wounded by the God Slaying Sabre. However, his wounds have now completely healed. Even if we were to catch up to him, we will probably not be his match anymore. "
In other words, Qing Ling couldn't beat the ghost car anymore? However, we have already fallen in love with him. Wouldn't it be very miserable if we meet him in the future? Luckily, he didn't immediately settle the score with us.
"Then what about the matter of Mount South?" If the Blood Sacrifice Mountain God did not exist, I am afraid that there would be no way to revive this place right? " I asked.
Qing Ling sighed. "Sigh, Supreme Celestial Bai Ze is a merciful man. I don't know why he brought such a disaster upon the human world. Unfortunately, he has already reincarnated, so I'm afraid he won't be able to help us. We'll have to think about this further. Let's first find your companions and Third Miss Xiao. "
That's right, Wuxie was still missing. Recently, he had been staying with Qing Ling and had forgotten about him! There's no helping it, Qing Ling is the most handsome one. When I saw him, I had already forgotten about him.
At dawn the next day we set out to find someone. Along the way, Qing Ling and I rode our swords to the bottom of the cliff and met the pine tree that Young Master Xiao mentioned had saved his life. It was an old pine tree with a crooked neck, a rugged exterior, and a thick trunk. It was unknown how many hundred years it had lived. However, half a year ago, it was still strong enough to hook up with Young Master Xiao, but now it can't hook up with Wu Xie and Miss Xiao.
I found a piece of water-red material on the treetop that had been twisted with silver threads and quickly showed it to Qing Ling.
Qing Ling's expression became solemn, and said: "This seems to be the material of Third Young Miss Xiao's clothes!" Could it be that they were really still at the bottom of the cliff? But the last time I came to look for them, I really didn't see them! "
It has already been a few days since Wu Xie and the rest fell off the cliff. The last time, Qing Ling helped me search for it, but to no avail. At that time, I was still suspicious if Wu Xie had secretly escaped with the Third Miss! The reason for that was because he and Qing Ling had already been at loggerheads since the White World. Now that he had met Qing Ling in this strange place, it was inevitable that he had other intentions in his mind.
However, when I saw the material on the corner of his shirt, my heart tightened. I was afraid that Wuxie and the rest would meet with mishaps. After all, this place was filled with weird things. We would often encounter strange people and encounter strange things.
"Let's go down the cliff and look for it. There are weeds growing everywhere and dead trees growing everywhere. Maybe they're trapped somewhere!"
The Cyan Plume Sword carried me downwards and we quickly reached the bottom of the cliff. The place was not far from the top of the hill. It might once have been a deep stream, but now the water was dry, revealing the cobbled riverbed. On one side of the river was a cliff, and on the other a small plain of water, where grass and bushes had fallen, and where most of the vegetation was dead, but still taller than a man's head. When one descended to the ground, one's vision was obstructed at every turn. It was extremely difficult to search for it.
We searched under the cliff all day, but there was still no sign of Wuxie and Miss Xiao. In the end, Qing Ling said, "This place is really too big. I'll go to the Xiao Clan Village tomorrow and find some people. Together, we will search around the bottom of this cliff."
It seemed like that was the only way. When he and I returned from the Sword Management Terrace, it was already late. We wouldn't go down the mountain anymore and would instead temporarily rest at the wooden hut's location for the night.
The next day, Qing Ling brought me down the mountain and met the second young miss of the Xiao family.
Second Miss Xiao looked very similar to Third Miss Xiao. However, she was a few years older and dressed as a woman. She looked even more mature and charming.
When she saw Qing Ling, she immediately revealed an extremely surprised expression. She hastily jumped down from the horse and rushed to the front of Qing Ling. Master! Why are you still here? I've been looking for you everywhere, and I'm about to die from anxiety! "
Qing Ling greeted her. I stood to the side and watched curiously. Second Young Miss Xiao jumped in fright when she saw me. "Ah! Where did the monster come from?!"
Only then did I recall my silver hair and fox ears. Just now, when I was in such a hurry down the mountain, I actually forgot my hood! At this moment, when the second young miss of the Xiao family and all of the servants saw me, they were extremely terrified.
Qing Ling quickly pulled me behind her and explained, "She is my friend, not a monster. Everyone, don't panic." Saying that, she winked at me.
I immediately used my illusion techniques to create a black haired man's ear that was no different from a normal person and greeted the second young mistress of the Xiao family. Only then did those mortals relax slightly. However, they still looked at me with fear in their eyes.
Qing Ling asked Second Miss Xiao, "Why is Young Lady looking for me?"
Second Young Miss Xiao said, "My younger sister is injured, and is currently bleeding profusely. Her entire body is unconscious! Master, please save her! "
When Qing Ling and I heard this, we were shocked. "Third Young Miss Xiao has already returned home?"
Second Miss Xiao answered, "She went home a long time ago, but the Master didn't know?"
For the past few days, Qing Ling and I have been busy dealing with the matter of the ghost carriage. I didn't expect that while we were busy searching around the cliff, Wu Xie and the others had already returned to Miss Xiao's home!
"What about Wuxie?" I asked urgently.
Second Miss Xiao was stunned, "Wuxie? "Who is it?"
I said, "The beautiful young man with Third Young Miss Xiao!"
Second Miss Xiao revealed a puzzled expression. "I haven't seen any beautiful young men?"
Second Young Miss Xiao told Qing Ling that Third Young Miss had been forced by her eldest brother to run away from home the other day and had disappeared for a few days, causing Second Young Miss to feel extremely anxious. She looked around, but found nothing. Then, on the morning of the third day, the servants discovered that the third young miss had come home at an unknown time, and had actually fainted in front of her own door! By the time they had carried her back to her room, she was already wounded and dying. Second Miss Xiao stepped forward and slapped her face. Third Miss struggled to open her eyes. She only glanced at Second Sister before saying, "I was hurt by demons …" Then he fainted.
Afterwards, Second Miss Xiao called the doctor, only to discover that the ordinary doctor was unable to see Little Sister's injury. Thus, she tried to find a way to get the Daoist Priest to expel the demon. Unfortunately, at that time, Qing Ling could not be reached, and the few practitioners in the village all had limited cultivation experience, unable to save Third Young Miss. Seeing that her little sister's body was getting weaker day by day, Second Young Miss Xiao became extremely anxious. She had been hoping to give it a try today as she once again came to Big Brother's wooden house to inquire about Qing Ling.
