After arriving at Yunhai Port, standing outside, Qin Yi stopped here.
After a while, he took a deep breath, and finally walked slowly towards the interior of Yunhai Port.
Because of the invasion of Silver Snow Kingdom, the entire Yunhai Empire has been greatly affected. There are not many people coming and going at Yunhai Port now. Apart from a few local forces, there are only a few people who are here now.
Let’s go to the Yin Yang Academy disciples who came out of the mining area not long ago.
Qin Yi's speed became faster and faster, and his footsteps became more and more determined. Through the exploration of his spiritual sense, he already knew where Duanmucheng and others were staying. After a while, he finally arrived at his destination.
This is an extremely secretive private house that looks unremarkable. It can be seen that Lu Yu put some thought into choosing this place.
Knocking lightly on the door, an extremely alert voice soon came from inside the house: "Who?"
Qin Yi calmly replied: "It's me."
After hearing Qin Yi's voice, there was a burst of urgent footsteps in the house, and then the door was opened.
It was Ning Qiancheng who opened the door. As soon as he saw Qin Yi, he asked anxiously: "How is the situation?"
Qin Yi nodded and said: "It has been solved. I think they will not come here again."
After hearing this, Ning Qiancheng finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good!"
There was not too much joy on Qin Yi's face, he just said "hmm" softly, and then asked: "Where is Master Duanmu?"
Hearing this, Ning Qiancheng's face became much darker again. He glanced inside, then turned sideways and let Qin Yi in.
…
In the innermost room of the house, an old man was kneeling on the ground. Although his back was to Qin Yi and the others, he could still see how haggard he looked at the moment.
His hair was disheveled and gray, covering the top of his head like a pile of weeds.
Compared with before, he looked a bit older now.
He sat there motionless, even his breathing seemed to have stopped, like a statue.
And on the bed in front of him, there was a cold corpse lying. This person was none other than Duanmucheng's disciple Guozhong!
"Brother Qin, you are his disciple, he should listen to you, go in and persuade him!"
Lu Yu walked in from outside. He sighed and said helplessly: "Ever since they brought Senior Brother Guozhong's body back, he has been like this, not even moving."
Qin Yi nodded slightly, then took a step forward and walked in.
After approaching Duanmu City, Qin Yi was even more shocked by his expression at this moment.
Apart from staring blankly at the corpse in front of him, there was no expression on his face, not even a hint of sadness.
However, sometimes it is this expressionless face that is the scariest thing.
In Duanmu City at this moment, Qin Yi felt as if he was a walking corpse, his soul had long since left his body and disappeared into ashes. From his body, Qin Yi could not feel the slightest will to survive. It was as if, now, he was gently
If you push him with one finger, he will die immediately.
Seeing Duanmucheng in front of him, he thought about the weird old man who always had a shameless smile on his face, no matter how hard Qin Yi attacked him, and was gearing up for Qin Yi. Suddenly, Qin Yi felt that his heart felt like someone was ruthlessly beating him.
It was like a sharp stab, the pain was unbearable!
"Master, I'm sorry!"
Suddenly, Qin Yi knelt down on the ground and said, "I didn't rush over in time to rescue senior brother!"
"Qin Yi..."
At this time, Duanmucheng finally spoke. But at this moment, his voice was as hoarse and lifeless as if he had swallowed charcoal: "You always like this, like to take all the responsibilities on you. Although I, Duanmucheng, am not
He is not a big shot, but he can be considered a person who has been immersed in the alchemy path for many years. I can still clearly see the injuries on Guozhong's body. He has been delayed for too long! He has been dead for a long time!"
Qin Yidao: "Master, I don't want to see you looking so sad now. I think the same goes for Senior Brother Guozhong."
Duanmucheng spoke very slowly: "Guozhong has followed me since childhood. In my eyes, he is not just a disciple, but more like my son. He is the person I have devoted my whole life to! Now that he has been ruined, I
It feels like half of my life has been lost with him."
Qin Yi was speechless. He knew that at this time, no one could persuade Duanmucheng.
To be honest, at a time like this, talking about condolences and living well is basically equivalent to farting.
When comfort has no effect, the only thing that can be done is companionship.
At that moment, Qin Yi didn't say much, but found a seat beside Duanmucheng and knelt down, and together with Duanmucheng, stood guard in front of Guozhong.
I don't know how long I knelt this time. Even Qin Yi felt waves of pain coming from his knees.
At this time, Duanmucheng suddenly spoke: "Qin Yi, good disciple. Thank you for staying with me. I'm much better now."
Hearing Duanmucheng say these words himself, Qin Yi finally felt relieved.
"Actually, I know that you want me to understand that I am not alone."
At this moment, Duanmucheng's voice seemed extremely calm: "However, you are wrong. I have never had any unbearable thoughts. I know better that what Guozhong wants to see me cheer up more than being depressed! This point.
, I have never changed. However, I just can't accept this reality. I stay here, praying for a miracle to happen, hoping that Guozhong can stand up again. However, after this period of waiting, I can accept it.
"
After a pause, Duanmucheng continued: "Sadness is inevitable. I think you should also understand this, right? No one can slow down this emotion. I can only let myself slow down in my heart.
Digest slowly, accept slowly.”
Qin Yi nodded and said nothing.
"Thanks to you."
Duanmucheng stood up and patted Qin Yi on the shoulder: "If it weren't for you, I would have to recover. I don't know how long it will take. Qin Yi and Guozhong have gone, but you let me understand that I still have someone to worry about.
I hope to see you and move towards a more glorious future!"
…
Walking out of the door and walking on the cold streets of Yunhai Port, Qin Yi felt thousands of emotions intertwined in his heart!
Duanmucheng talked to him a lot and made it clear that he must see him succeed. It seemed that his fighting spirit had been ignited!
However, he knew very well that from the moment Guozhong died, Duanmu City was destined not to be the same as before!
