Chapter 131: Dreams (4)
"Who are they? And why?" Taoist Guizhen asked carefully, trying to find out more.
Qingli said tremblingly: "Immortal, they are the villagers here, all of them look fierce and ferocious. They said A-li is the disaster of the village, and they locked A-li in a windowless room. It's very dark, and A-li is very scared."
"What about the farming couple who adopted you?" Taoist Guizhen asked again.
"Dead." She said listlessly, her eyes empty, leaving nothing behind.
……
After some questioning, Taoist Guizhen and Qinyu went to the woods next to the cabin to discuss.
"Logically speaking, the couple shouldn't have died so early. I see that they both have a destiny of longevity. This is strange," Guizhen Taoist said to himself. Seeing Mo Qinyu's expression of wanting to say something but not being able to, he asked, "Do you seem to have something to say?"
Qin Yu looked puzzled and asked, "Master, who is she? I feel like I've seen her somewhere before."
Taoist Guizhen looked as if he had seen a ghost. He had some suspicions in his heart and asked cautiously, "Her name is Qingli. Don't you remember her?"
Qin Yu shook his head blankly after racking his brains and still had no impression. "I have no impression at all. Should I know her? She just called me brother and I was stunned. It was totally incomprehensible."
It is said that ever since Qin Yu entered the Diling Sect and had a high fever, he seemed to have never mentioned his sister Qingli again. Taoist Guizhen thought at the time that he did not want to mention the past to avoid being saddened by the scene, but he did not expect that it was because he had forgotten the affairs of the mortal world.
Anyone who embarks on the path of cultivation and cuts off worldly affairs will get what they want. Although fate plays tricks on people, this just proves that Mo Qinyu has extraordinary talent and will definitely become an excellent cultivator in the future.
Taoist Guizhen sighed silently: "It doesn't matter if you don't remember it. Maybe it's not very important."
Qin Yu didn't think there was anything wrong with what Guizhen Taoist said, and nodded immediately: "Master is right, what should we do with the girl in the wooden house?"
"What do you think, Qinyu?" Taoist Guizhen threw the question to him.
"Rescue them and send them to a shelter?" Qin Yu blurted out. They, the master and disciple, had encountered similar incidents at the foot of the mountain before, and they had always handled them in the same way. This time should be no exception.
But I didn’t expect that Guizhen Taoist would say:
"How about taking it back to the Earth Spirit Sect?"
"Master, do you want to take her as your disciple?" Qin Yu was very surprised.
Taoist Guizhen smiled and asked him, "Do you want a junior sister?"
Qin Yu thought for a while, then nodded: "I do."
"Then take her back to the Earth Spirit Sect. She just happens to be destined to be with you and me."
At this moment, black smoke suddenly came out of the wooden house, and soon a raging fire broke out, which was shocking to the eyes.
"How could this happen!" Qin Yu was shocked.
Just when Taoist Guizhen was trying to use the Water-drawing Technique to put out the fire, that small figure appeared behind them.
"Immortal, A'li is here." She hid behind a tree, quietly poked her head out and said weakly.
If it weren't for the monk's sensitive ears, they would both have ignored her trembling voice.
"It's great that you're not in there." Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
She shook her head and said, "It was too choking in there, so Ah Li escaped."
Qin Yu noticed that the burning gate was sealed again. He said angrily, "Why are those villagers still hanging around? They actually dared to set fire to the gate just to burn a little girl to death!"
"How did you escape?" asked Taoist Guizhen.
The girl had a sweet smile on her face and said, "Ari knows, there is a dog hole behind the house."
"So you stole all those poultry?"
The girl touched her bloated belly, looked towards the cabin, and said, "I'm hungry. There's nothing to eat."
"These villagers were really too much. They tried to starve you to death, but they didn't expect that you would survive this way."
The girl didn't understand what "starving her to death" meant, but she understood the word "die" and shook her head frantically: "Ari, don't die."
"You won't die. We will take you back to the Earth Spirit Sect." Qin Yu suddenly said gently.
"Is that where my brother is?" the girl asked innocently.
Qin Yu looked at Gui Zhen Taoist, who nodded to him, so he had no choice but to assure the girl and said, "Yes."
Afterwards, watching the wooden house gradually burn to ashes, Qin Yu asked Taoist Gui Zhen: "Master, why do you think the villagers wanted to hurt her?"
Taoist Guizhen hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm afraid it has something to do with that couple."
Qin Yu showed a thoughtful expression, then squatted down in front of Qing Li, grinned, and asked in a soft voice: "Do you remember how the couple who adopted you died?"
Of course he knew that such questions should not be asked to the person involved, and the other party was still a child, but when he mentioned this matter, all the villagers remained silent.
According to the rules of the Earth Spirit Sect, monks cannot use magic on ordinary villagers to force them to do things they don't want to do or harm them.
Qin Yu had no choice but to start with the person involved to see if there were any other clues.
Qingli's eyes revealed a hint of uneasiness. Qinyu's words seemed to touch her taboo. Her body began to tremble uncontrollably. Her eyes gradually became empty and she made an emotionless sound.
"It wasn't A-li who killed him. My father wanted to hit A-li, but she just dodged a little and accidentally touched the candle flame next to her. The candle flame fell on the tent and the flame started suddenly. By the time my father reacted, the fire had quickly spread throughout the house."
"How did you escape?" Qin Yu asked again.
"The beam inside the house fell down and hit the front door, and it got stuck in the crack of the door. Father and mother couldn't get out. Only A'li could barely pass through the gap. However, father and mother wouldn't let A'li go out. A'li felt very uncomfortable from the smoke. She didn't get out until they fell asleep." Qingli said sadly.
Qin Yu's eyes were shocked. He didn't expect the truth of the matter to be like this.
"Brother Immortal, is this A'li's fault?" Qingli asked with a pair of empty eyes.
"No, our A'li is the most obedient. She knows to run away when she is suffocated by the smoke." Qin Yu said as he gently touched her head.
