Chapter 268 The Little Girl Is Missing
In the inner courtyard of the Foreign Affairs Hall, Yuan Hui is getting older and older, like an oil lamp that will burn out at any time.
I haven't seen him for only ten days, and I feel powerless to face those favorites from the past, and I can no longer enjoy them.
At this time, he just sat under a Bodhi tree, letting the night wind blow, and the leaves fell all over him.
When Gu Qiqi jumped into the courtyard, what he saw was this desolate scene.
She still liked this old grandpa very much. Every time she and Ji Tong came here, he would secretly give her some small toys.
Although it is not valuable, it is all made by his own hands. This value cannot be measured with spiritual stones.
After losing the blessing of her tribe, this was one of the few old people she respected and loved. She didn't want to face separation between life and death. This was too cruel.
"Master Yuan Hui, wake up! I'm Qiqi, and I'm here to see you!"
She shook her head in a panic, trying to get the bad thoughts out of her mind.
Master Yuan Hui opened his eyes and said funny: "Little girl, the old man is not dead yet, why are you panicking!"
These words almost made Gu Qiqi burst into tears.
However, she was no longer that naive child. She didn't want her emotions to affect Yuan Hui, so she pretended to be relaxed.
"I'm not panicking. Senior Brother said that he will definitely be able to save your life. He has a way."
"So, you have to cheer up and hold on!"
Yuan Hui reached out and touched her head, "What a silly girl!"
Then, he took out a simple wooden lump from the storage bag and handed it to Gu Qiqi.
"This is a treasure that the old man got by chance when he was young. I am destined to give it to you as a gift. You must keep it and don't drop it."
Gu Qiqi thought it was just another toy and thought it was the old man's wish, so he took the piece of wood without taking it seriously.
However, when her fingers touched the wood, the next moment, her figure seemed to be frozen, and her entire consciousness was taken into a whirlpool, unable to escape.
She wanted to scream and ask Yuan Hui what she had done to her.
This lump of wood was so evil that it had a particularly great impact on her.
Yuan Hui was not in a good state of mind. After sending the things away, she no longer cared about Gu Qiqi, so she closed her eyes and fell asleep again.
It was quiet in the courtyard. No one knew what happened to Gu Qiqi. They only knew that she disappeared in the next second.
The wind here is as old as before, and the people are as old as before, as if she had never been here.
When Ji Tong rushed in quickly and slowly, he saw this peaceful scene.
He frowned and looked at the yard warily.
Is it his illusion? The moment he came in, the properties on the panel shook.
At a glance, a bunch of data was captured where Yuan Hui was.
However, he was careless and didn't look carefully, so he didn't know what the panel properties suggested.
When I tried to capture it again, the panel was already unresponsive.
Pangpang didn't know the situation, but his dog's nose smelled a familiar smell, and without thinking, he passed the boy and shouted towards the yard.
"Qiqi, where are you? I know you are here, come out quickly!"
He shouted three times, each one louder than the last.
The night was eerily quiet.
There was no one in sight, and even the boy was a little panicked.
"Qiqi, stop playing. If you don't come out, senior brother will be angry!"
He gave a stern warning, hoping that Gu Qiqi would stop joking.
This kind of joke is the most hurtful and not fun at all.
However, Pangpang had already started to panic, and he was anxiously looking for someone in the yard.
"Qiqi, come out quickly and stop hiding. Do you hear me?"
For a moment, the yard was abuzz with chaos. The monsters that Yuan Hui had kept as food were being chased away, chirping wildly, and their fur was flying all over the yard.
When Ye Xiao saw this, he couldn't care less about his grudge with Pangpang and joined the search for the person.
Ji Tong looked at Yuan Hui sleeping under the bodhi tree and rushed up to shake her awake.
"Master Yuan Hui, have you seen Qiqi? She came to look for you just now, but now she has disappeared. You..."
Yuan Hui was forcibly awakened, and her consciousness was a little blurred. After being stunned for a while, she finally understood what Ji Tong meant.
He said with some difficulty: "The little girl has been here, and I... also gave her a gift. She shouldn't be far away..."
Walk?
It was impossible to leave. Gu Qiqi didn't wait for him to come, how could he leave so easily.
"Master, before you fell asleep, were you sure that Qiqi had left? I suspect she had an accident!"
Yuan Hui's consciousness, which had begun to diverge, was forced to turn on the phone after hearing this, and cheered up: "Boy, don't worry, outsiders in my courtyard can't get in easily, so only you guys can enter with the access token. "
"Could Qiqi's disappearance be related to the gift I gave her?"
Yuan Hui's thoughts were suddenly drawn back to his youth. At that time, he was still a high-spirited young man full of hope for the future.
I have just formed the elixir, so when I am young and successful, I can't help but feel a little wandering.
While on a trip, he broke into a strange secret realm alone, regardless of the warnings from fellow travelers.
There, although he did not encounter much danger, he also experienced a narrow escape and finally escaped.
When leaving, he casually grabbed a treasure, which was the one given to Gu Qiqi.
This thing is just a piece of wood, but it has a mysterious power that is very attractive.
It took him ten years to figure out the origin of the wood. It was a holy treasure that was of great help to the demon clan, but he could not use it.
I've been carrying it on my body all these years, but it's of no use.
When I saw Gu Qiqi, I didn't see through the little girl's true identity at first.
But as Gu Qiqi came more often, the secret of being a cat tribe was naturally revealed to him.
It was Gu Yanhui, the master, who didn't often interact with his disciples. Therefore, Gu Qiqi had always been a free-spirited person and had no understanding, so naturally he was kept in the dark.
At present, Gu Qiqi's mysterious disappearance is most likely related to this treasure.
"Boy, I may have done bad things with good intentions. I really never thought of harming that little girl. I gave her the baby because I wanted to help her when she was dying. How could I have imagined that this would happen."
"Quick, help me up, no matter what, I have to get the little girl back...ahem...quickly..."
He struggled to sit up, but was unable to do so and fell down again.
Because he was too anxious, he suppressed a blush on his face and almost couldn't breathe, so he pouted again.
Ji Tong quickly stepped forward to input medicinal spiritual energy and comforted her: "Don't worry, little girl is not a short-lived one. It should be just an accident. She will be fine."
This was also meant for himself. Now he could only pray that Gu Qiqi was fine. Nothing else could help him. For the first time, he felt out of control, which made him uncomfortable. (End of chapter)
