A day later, Qin Shi came to Qinglan City.
This was a small border city, under the jurisdiction of Ling Tian Sect.
However, this kind of small city, with no spirit stone veins or cultivating clans, was not valued by the Ling Tian Sect at all.
Many times, the real manager is the Qinglan City Lord here.
The Qin family in the city was the family where Qin Shi belonged, but Qin Shi had no sense of belonging to the family.
The original body has been fostered in his uncle's house since he was a child, but his life is not very good, and he was squeezed out by his uncle's family very early.
If it weren't for the care of her sister Wu Qitong, the original body would have starved to death on the street, let alone wait for Qin Shi who has crossed over now.
As for his cheap parents, the ghost knows where he went.
In Qin Shi's view, their biggest contribution was to pick up their sister Wu Qitong from the street.
Since then, Qin Shi has felt like family.
In the quiet courtyard not far from the Qin family, the moonlight was like water.
A young woman stood quietly in front of the incense table, dressed in coarse cloth clothes, unable to hide her beautiful and dusty temperament.
In front of the small statue enshrined on the desk, three sticks of agarwood were rising with green smoke.
A white fox curled lazily beside the incense table, its silver satin-like fur glowing softly in the moonlight. Wu Qitong brushed three sticks of agarwood with her bare hands, and the moment her fingertips touched the incense pillar, the dark blue flame suddenly rose.
"； Take reincarnation as a contract and trace the long river of cause and effect. "； Her red lips opened lightly, and the ancient syllables rippled in the courtyard. Fine cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the statue, "; All the karma in this world belongs to me, and I only begin...";
Before the words fell, the white fox suddenly perked up its ears and let out a warning low.
Wu Qitong's fingertips trembled slightly, and the bird-shaped incense ash dissipated. She quickly changed to a gentle look, her eyes flushed: "; I ask the gods to bless my distant brother, may he turn bad luck into good fortune and avoid the calamity of swords and soldiers...";
Outside the courtyard, Qin Shi, who had just rushed back, had a sore nose after witnessing this scene.
He had never been concerned about the wind and rain in the Ling Tian Sect, but at this moment he was defeated by his sister's silent concern.
"； If my sister can embark on the path of cultivation..."; The young man whispered to himself, "How nice that would be!"
Over the years, he has found exercises and treasures many times to wash his sister's marrow and bones, but after all, he has not been able to let his sister cross the threshold of practice.
Unable to care much anymore, Qin Shi suddenly pushed open the courtyard door, and a choked voice sounded: "; Sister, I'm back! "；
The woman turned around when she heard the sound, with just the right amount of surprise tears on her face.
"； hours..."; She called softly, and when she threw herself directly into Qin Shi's arms - just to cover up the fine cracks on the statue on the incense table.
A snow-white figure suddenly burst out of the shadows, it was a white fox covered in silver fur, making a low beast cry at Qin Shi.
"； Huh? "； Qin Shi's eyebrows raised slightly, and his momentum increased.
The white fox's front paws lay on the ground, and its ice blue pupils locked Qin Shi.
"； This is my younger brother Qin Shi, his own family. "；
Wu Qitong squatted down on her knees, and gently rubbed the tips of the white fox's trembling ears with her fingertips, "; On the deepest snowy night last year, it fell in front of our courtyard and refused to leave after waking up. "；
Saying that, she took out a few fresh fruits from her sleeves, and the white fox immediately raised her head to catch the fruits, and the tip of her ruby-like nose was still stained with peel debris.
As the night faded, the siblings still sat around the wooden table and whispered until the eastern sky was white with fish belly.
Wu Qitong placed the boiled millet porridge, vegetarian stir-fried vegetables and freshly steamed steamed buns on the wooden table in turn. Heat rises from stoneware bowls.
"； How long do you plan to stay when you come back this time? "； She used bamboo chopsticks to pick up a chopstick of vegetables for Qin Shi.
"； Not leaving for the time being. "； Qin Shi tore the steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely, "; I want to spend more time with my sister. "；
"Oh." Wu Qitong lowered her eyes and scooped up a spoonful of porridge, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and was quickly smoothed out by a gentle smile: "; This is good. "；
"； That's right," Qin Shi suddenly remembered something, "; I want to go to Yingxin Lake later. "；
Wu Qitong brought the porridge to Qin Shi, but her eyes drifted out the window: "; That lake... It's been foggy lately, so remember to wear a coat. "；
Yingxin Lake is located in a remote place north of Qinglan City.
Surrounded by mountains, clouds and mist, the lake water is crystal clear, presenting a quiet and peaceful scene.
Qin Shi came to the shore of Yingxin Lake, closed his mind, released his strong perception, and carefully explored everything around him.
His mind was like an invisible tentacle, spreading in all directions.
After a while.
Qin Shi suddenly opened his eyes, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He sensed a strange fluctuation deep in the bottom of the lake.
"This is... Space anchor!"
Qin Shi said excitedly.
However, this spatial anchor is still unstable, and it will take some time before it is fully opened.
But all kinds of signs indicate that the treasure Xu Huai said is very likely to be true, and within these few days, when the space anchor is opened, there may really be a treasure falling from the river of nothingness.
At the same time.
Qin Dawu stepped into the small courtyard with a gloomy face.
"； Wu Qitong, I warn you. "； Qin Dawu's tone was gloomy, "; The blood boy is your blessing to take a liking to you, don't play any tricks, marry him obediently!" "；
The woman was reclining under the old locust tree, her white skirt causing ripples in the evening breeze. She stared blankly at the protective jade pendant given by Qin Shi, turning a deaf ear to her uncle's threat.
"； Although those women died mysteriously before..."; Qin Dawu's tone slowed down slightly, but still with coercion, "; But what if you are an exception? Don't think about running away, it will affect the entire Qin family and even Qinglan City! "；
Speaking of this, a look of worry appeared on his face: "; Last year, the woman in Xinglan City escaped before getting married, what was the result? The blood boy slaughtered more than a thousand people, and the blood on the whole street could reach his knees! "；
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Qitong suddenly chuckled: "; Uncle misunderstood, when did I say I wouldn't marry? "；
Qin Dawu was stunned on the spot, this... How could it be so smooth?
Wu Qitong put away the jade pendant and continued: "; Just hours come back. If he knew about this, he would probably have to fight desperately for the blood young master with a sword. "；
"； What? Qin Shi is back? "； Qin Dawu was stunned for a moment, pondered for a moment and said: "; Three days later, the clan will hold an ancestor worship ceremony to celebrate the dog's entry into the lord's mansion. "；
"； You and Qin Shi both came to participate, and I arranged an errand within the clan for the hour. With the current power of the Qin family, he would definitely be grateful to Dade and stay in the clan with all his heart. "；
"； In this way, you will get married beautifully, and Qin Shi will also have a future. The best of both worlds. "；
"； Then thank you, uncle. "； Wu Qitong smiled.
When Qin Dawu left, a snow-white fox shadow jumped down from the beam, and its claws dragged out five deep marks on the ground.
"； Lord! "； The white fox's hair exploded, "; If you are inconvenient to take action, then I will take the head of the blood young master!" "；
Wu Qitong pressed its trembling back, and her fingertips glowed with a dark blue light: "; Not in a hurry. "； Her gaze penetrated the layers of void, and star maps flowed and deduced in the universe.
As the trajectory of the stars changed, the shadow of the locust tree in the small courtyard slowly lengthened.
"； The deduction is complete. "； When she retracted her gaze, the galaxy reflected in her eyes had already frozen, "; Three days later, the ancestor worship ceremony, the blood son's life... Just the introduction. "；
The white fox looked at the gradually closing star trail and suddenly trembled: "; You want to borrow the life of the blood boy to push Qin Shi into that eternal chess game...";
"； Shhh-"; Wu Qitong pressed her fingertips against the tip of the fox demon's nose, and blinked playfully, "; This is his fate. "；
