Stars fall and locust trees grow

Chapter 22 Excuse me, how old are you this year?

The next morning, everyone boarded the Kunzhou and set off for Jiangzhou.

Before setting off, Li Chi carefully tied a headband worth five hundred spirit stones, and swore secretly in his heart: my head can be cut off, but the headband must not be messed up; my face can be lost, but the headband must not be lost!

After boarding the Kunzhou, everyone chose their own rooms and then went to the deck to enjoy the scenery. Only Gu Chuanlin stayed alone in the room reading a book.

Li Chi held the fur ball and explored the inside and outside of the boat with Wei Li. Seeing that this Kun boat was very different from Zhu Weiqing's, he approached Zeng Muhan and asked curiously, "Senior Brother Zeng, why is this Kun boat different from the one in Changsheng Palace? I remember that the Kun boat in Changsheng Palace was much smaller than this one, and it didn't have a cabin."

Zeng Muhan smiled and said, "This Kunzhou is called Zhulang. It was given to our ancestor by an old senior who was very good at mechanical devices in Zanghaizhou hundreds of years ago. Later, our ancestor gave it to our young master. As soon as Zhulang came out, the sects in the Spirit Realm began to imitate it. However, the Kunzhou they made can only be used as a flying device and cannot sail in the water."

Li Chi was shocked: "You mean, Zhulang is the first Kunzhou in the Spirit Realm. It can not only fly in the air, but also dive!"

Zeng Muhan said, "That's right! Zhulang uses the rare and precious wood, the dead pear wood, which is unique to the Jiyou Sea. It is not only wind and rain resistant, but also extremely strong. It will also emit a light fragrance when exposed to the sun."

"Is it true?" Li Chi didn't believe it and put his nose close to the side of the boat and sniffed a few times. Seeing this, Maoqiu also stretched out his little head to smell.

"Eh? It really smells good!"

Zeng Muchan chuckled.

Gu Huaiyi, who was standing on the other side, said, "Haha! You are such a bumpkin! If it weren't for the fact that you two don't know how to fly, Little Master wouldn't have to bring the Kunzhou with you this time. Now, we have to fly in the sky for several days. It's so boring."

Liu Jing said: "Brother Huaiyi, I think it's also good to ride the Kunzhou. Flying a sword consumes a lot of spiritual energy! Besides, if it weren't for Master Li, we probably wouldn't have had the chance to see the legendary Zhulang!"

Gu Huaiyi turned around and said angrily: "Which side are you on?"

Liu Jing secretly winked at Li Chi, then laughed and said, "Of course I'm on your side, Senior Brother!"

Only then did Gu Huaiyi smile.

Li Chi pouted and said to Wei Li and Zeng Muhan: "This guy is such a stingy person! It was just a small grudge at the charity cemetery that day, but he actually remembered it for so long!"

Just as Gu Huaiyi was about to shout back, he heard Gu Chuanlin's voice echoing on the deck.

"It will take three days to get to Jiangzhou. Since you guys have nothing to do, why don't you go back and practice meditation?"

Although Gu Huaiyi was unhappy, he had no choice but to obey. He rolled his eyes at Li Chi and went straight back to his room.

Looking down at the misty green mountains always makes one feel relaxed and open-minded, but meditation will not do that.

Fortunately, Li Chi had a special physique and did not need to meditate, so when he saw Gu Huaiyi looking angry, he happily stroked the fur ball and hummed a little tune while swaying.

When the fur ball arrived at the new environment, it naturally had to check it carefully first. After sniffing every corner of the room, it jumped onto the bed contentedly and lay down to sleep.

Gu Chuanlin was still sitting in front of the small table, reading the book that he had been reading for who knows how many days but had not yet finished.

Li Chi thought that his identity was probably the small table and books.

After pouring himself some tea, Li Chi sat on the other side of the small table and ate pastries boredly.

When he was doing nothing and accidentally saw the book in Gu Chuanlin's hand, he spat out a mouthful of tea!

Fortunately, Gu Chuanlin was not an ordinary person. With a slight wave of his hand, the sprayed tea stopped in the air, then gathered into a stream and fell back into Li Chi's cup.

Li Chi: “…”

When Gu Chuanlin closed the book, he saw the five big characters "Ancestral Instructions in the Bright Moon" shining brightly on the cover.

He moved his lips slightly and said softly: "You seem to be free too?"

Li Chi said: "If you have nothing to do, you are naturally idle! By the way, how come you, the Little Master of Mingyuejian, are still reading the sect's ancestral precepts?!"

Gu Chuanlin said: "All direct disciples of Mingyuejian must learn the ancestral teachings!"

Li Chi took a look at the thickness of the ancestral precepts and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah! Fortunately, I am not your direct disciple!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Chuanlin's face suddenly darkened, his brows lowered, and he remained silent.

Seeing this, Li Chi suddenly remembered how he left in anger after recognizing him that day. He didn't know what he had said to offend him again. He just felt that this man's temper was too changeable.

However, fortunately, Li Chi was thick-skinned enough that he did not stop there. Instead, he felt that he should strike while the iron was hot and find out his identity.

So, he took a few steps to sit next to Gu Chuanlin, put his arm on the small table, and said with a twisted face: "I heard from Huaiyi that you are about to break through to the Spiritual Venerable Realm. Judging from your current state, I think you should be quite old. May I ask how old you are this year?"

Furukawa Lindao: "Eighty to three."

Li Chi stood up suddenly, widened his eyes and shouted excitedly: "What? You are already eighty-three years old?! You really have a secret to keep your youthful appearance!"

Gu Chuanlin looked up: "So what?"

Li Chi thought: Practicing hard can really make people live a hundred years and stay young forever. He didn't know when his body would be able to open up. If he couldn't practice for a lifetime, then when he was old and his hair was white and his teeth were all gone, Gu Chuanlin would still look like a teenager. This would be really bad. However, this matter could not be rushed. Anyway, he had just been resurrected for a few days, and there was still a long time to go, so it would not be too late to think about it after going to Jiangzhou to find Ah Xing.

So he sat down again and continued to tease, "You are over 80 years old and you are just beginning to learn the sect's ancestral teachings? Have you been in seclusion every day since the day you were born?"

Gu Chuanlin opened the ancestral precepts again and said calmly, "Why not?"

Li Chi didn't believe it, and snorted in his heart, "I heard that your Gu family's family crest was originally passed down to the younger generations through engraving inscriptions, but you activated it yourself by accident? What's going on?"

Gu Chuanlin said: "The family crest was originally inherited through seal carving, but over the years it has become part of the bloodline. All descendants of the Gu family can activate it on their own."

Li Chi said: "I see. Then you have never secretly left the sect and wandered around somewhere else?"

Gu Chuanlin closed the book in his hand again and put it on the small table. "You asked so many questions over and over again, what exactly do you want to say?"

Li Chi laughed and stopped beating around the bush, saying bluntly, "I just want to know who you are!"

Gu Chuanlin still had a blank expression on his face, but a strange emotion welled up in his eyes. Li Chi couldn't understand it, he only heard his cold voice ringing in his ears.

"You should think about it slowly by yourself!"
