Grow up under the eyelids.
Seeing that Meng Ning was getting thinner, and there were bruises under his eyes, she asked softly, "What's the matter? Is there something on your mind? Tell Mrs. Shi about it?" Meng Ning's mind is not something that can be shared with others. He shook his head, Said: "Thank you, Master, I just thought about going far away, so I can't sleep." Su Wanhe was always smart, but never used it to guess people. Since he didn't want to say it, she didn't ask, and said instead: "Don't blame me. Your master is too strict with you. He also loves deeply and takes responsibility very seriously." Senior brothers and sisters often said this to him, Meng Ning said in a low voice: "Yes, I dare not blame master." Su Wanhe sighed: "You also know that the three races of humans, demons, and demons have been entangled for a long time. After all, human monks have to fight head-on with demons. The battlefield is no more than the school field, and there is no end to it. If the cultivation base and luck are a little bit worse , it is difficult to come back from the battlefield alive. Your master is one, and now he is the only one left. Do you look at the other families of Qingzong, which ones are well-equipped? Every time your master sees you, he will be worried. One day if you want to go to the battlefield, what will you do? You see that he often speaks harshly to you, but he doesn’t know that you are the person he cares about the most.” Meng Ning really felt that the master was biased in private in the past, and she couldn’t help crying when she heard this , speechless.Su Wanhe wiped his tears for him, took out a jade talisman, and said, "Your master asked me to give it to you. He was angry with you just now, so he couldn't bear to give it to you himself." Meng Ning took it and looked at it. , choked with sobs and said: "Master actually prepared the imperial talisman for me?" The production of this imperial talisman is particularly time-consuming and laborious. It needs to use the extremely rare storage jade as a match. Because the raw materials are hard to find and the production process is complicated, it has always been priceless.Su Wan said softly: "Your master and I were very worried when you and Jiang Li went out for the first time. Especially you, who don't even know how to control a sword. If you encounter some powerful monsters, how will you protect yourself? Your master thinks about it." Go, I came up with this idea."
This imperial spirit talisman can convey aura to the person who uses it. People with low cultivation level use this talisman, just like the elders escorting them, it is a good thing to save their lives.
Meng Yinfeng saw Meng Ning going out, so he said to Jiang Li: "Meng Ning's cultivation level is low, I was very worried about letting him go out alone, so I put him in a group with you. Take care of him." Jiang Li said in a respectful voice: "Master, don't worry, I will do my best to protect him." Meng Yinfeng continued: "The senior brother of your team is Yan Yu, and I also said hello to him. He is a thoughtful and reliable person, and you must listen to his orders along the way." Jiang Li replied "Yes".Meng Yinfeng told Jiang Li a lot more before letting Jiang Li leave.
When Jiang Li went out, he saw Meng Ning's eyes were red, and he was still in front of the door, so he asked with concern, "What's the matter?" Meng Ning shook his head, and said, "It's nothing." Angry, he put his arms around his shoulders and said, "Brother, let's go find him." Meng Ning said, "I know, let's go together."
The two came to Mu Yinan's room together. Seeing Meng Ning's eyes were red, Mu Yinan said, "Have you been scolded by Master again? Don't be sad, you can be free right now." Meng Ning was being held by Meng Yinfeng Touched, hearing what Mu Yinan said, he said angrily, "Senior brother!" Mu Yinan said, "I'm telling the truth! New disciples have been training for a long time, and the second senior brother and I have participated in it. Although the suzerain and master They made the atmosphere tense," Mu Yinan said with her lips pursed, disdainful, "but it's actually not that dangerous. Most of the time, I just go wandering around the world for half a year and come back. It's like traveling in mountains and rivers. There are not many monsters in the world nowadays, and many teams go out for half a year without encountering a single monster, so they can only kill some robbers and ghosts to pass the time."
Jiang Li said: "But the master said that there are accidents every year in the experience." Mu Yinan said: "It's very rare, how can you memorize it so little?" Okay. If you really encounter a monster, you can beat it if you can beat it. If you can't beat it, you can beat it next time." Meng Ning said: "If Master hears what you say, he will definitely scold you again." Mu Yinan giggled He smiled and said: "Don't tell Master, it will be done." After he finished speaking, he pulled out a big wooden box from under the bed, and said: "This box was passed on from the elder sister to the second senior brother, and from the second senior brother to me. It's time for you." He said this with emotion and comfort, which made Jiang Li and Meng Ning very moved.There was a layer of dust on the box, Mu Yinan nonchalantly swept the dust away with his sleeve, and opened the box with a snap.
Jiang Li and Meng Ning took a closer look, and saw that the box was full of thread-bound books and many sundries of unknown use.Jiang Li picked up those books and said, "24 Scenic Spots of Yunzhou", "Three-state Travel Guide", "Must-Visit Scenic Spots in the South"?" Mu Yinan said: "You have never been out of the house, how would you know if you don't read these books? Is it fun?" Meng Ning said: "We're not here to play." Mu Yinan said: "I'm from here, don't you know? There are so many fights for you to fight!" Jiang Li picked up another stack Book: ""Young Master in the Cloud", "Three Things About Me and the Real Man", "The Handsome Fairy Falls in Love with Me", how come there are still six copies of "Young Master in the Cloud"?" Mu Yinan said: "It belongs to the elder sister. It is said that This "Young Master in the Cloud" still has volume [-], but the author died before finishing it, and the elder sister has been sad for a while." Jiang Li flipped through the book, and said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, the elder sister Such a fierce person, yet such a tender heart."
He put these books back, glanced at another book, and said, ""Winning Brothel Handbook"? The elder sister has a lot of knowledge!" Mu Yinan said: "Ah, that's mine. All these years, my two friends and I Brother also bought something. For example, this." Jiang Li saw that it was a refined silver mask, and asked, "Why do you wear a mask?" Mu Yinan said, "Sun protection! You fly in the air all day Flying here and there, without this, you will definitely be seen as stupid." Meng Ning smiled and said: "I don't want this thing, it looks so stupid to wear."
Mu Yinan took out a necklace and asked, "What about this one?" A blood jade in the shape of a maple leaf hung on this necklace, which looked very cute.Meng Ning said: "Who can wear such a necklace?" Mu Yinan said: "Where do you want to bring it yourself and give it away?" Jiang Li said: "Why do you want to give someone a necklace?" Mu Yinan laughed : "You don't understand this. Back then, the second senior brother gained countless hearts by giving necklaces. Alas, it's a pity that he is not in the valley, otherwise he would definitely give you a good explanation."
Jiang Li asked disappointedly: "Is there anything practical?" Mu Yinan was anxious, and said, "These are the most practical! Other medicines, flying swords, and the sect will send them out." He thought for a while, never He found a book under the pillow and said, "Why don't I give this book to you too." Jiang Li took it and flipped through a page or two, then threw the book back on the bed with a shaking hand, saying, "Senior brother, You actually read these books!" Out of curiosity, Meng Ning picked it up and looked, and found that the book was wrapped in lambskin, and the name could not be read.Looking at it open, some villains are entangled with each other.Meng Ning read several pages before vaguely guessing what it was doing. She blushed and was stunned.
Mu Yinan laughed loudly: "Meng Ning, you usually look so honest, you can't think of it." He hooked Meng Ning's shoulder and said, "If you like senior brother, you can reluctantly give up and give it to you." Meng Ning put Throwing the book back on the bed, he said, "I don't want it!"
In the end, the two of them didn't want the lambskin book, and put other items into the storage bag.When leaving, Mu Yinan asked: "You guys also help Senior Sister to pay attention this time, see if there is anyone who continues to write "Young Master in the Cloud", if there is any, help Senior Sister buy it back." Jiang Li and Meng Ning agreed , we went back to Xiaohuanfeng together, packed our bags, and prepared to leave tomorrow.
On the second day, Jiang Li and Meng Ning got up early in the morning to gather and prepare to set off.Yan Yu was indeed the leader of Jiang Li and Meng Ning's team, and Yi Cong and Zhang Yuyi from Xiaohuanfeng, Du Yingluo from Huanyue Valley, and a fresh-faced Yunmenggu disciple were also on the same team.Yan Yu is the most outstanding disciple of this generation, probably the chief of the valley can only feel at ease if he puts his beloved disciple in his team.When Yan Yu saw that both Yi Cong and Du Yingluo were in his team, he couldn't help feeling dizzy.
Jiang Li has always been at odds with Yi Cong and Zhang Yuyi, knowing that he wants to be with them, he is unhappy but doesn't show it.He only said to Meng Ning: "We are in a group, you don't know how to control the sword, let me take you?" Meng Ning said: "Let's talk."In the end, he still said: "Master has prepared a talisman for me, and I can use it to control my sword." At this moment, Yi Cong came over and said to Meng Ning: "We are divided into a group, let's go, let's discuss together." Meng Meng Ning said: "Okay." He said to Jiang Li, "I'll go and talk to them." Then he left with Yi Cong.Hearing his cold tone, Jiang Li couldn't help feeling sad again.
Because of Meng Ning's soft temper, he has a good relationship with his classmates, and many people greeted him along the way.Seeing them coming, Du Yingluo and Zhang Yuyi both waved and said, "Come on, come on, we're about to start." Du Yingluo saw Meng Ning, pulled him over and asked, "You gave Jiang Li the paper crane? Is it?" Meng Ning said, "Yes." Du Yingluo said with rare coercion, "Then why, why didn't he have it?" Seeing that Du Yingluo was ashamed and annoyed, Meng Ning couldn't tell her that Jiang Li didn't look at that at all. Zhihe just said: "Maybe he is very busy these two days." Du Yingluo thought about it and thought it was probably so.She was born beautiful, and surrounded by a cloud of suitors, she felt that there was no man in the world who did not admire her.
☆, gift
When Yi Cong heard this, he felt mixed emotions.He had admired Du Yingluo since he was a child, but he knew that she was always proud and arrogant, so he didn't dare to reveal the slightest bit, for fear that he wouldn't even be a friend.Zhang Yuyi had always understood Yi Cong's thoughts, and seeing Yi Cong's expression, she said, "Yingluo, what's so good about Jiang Li? Look at his stinky and stubborn temper, only Meng Ning can bear it." " Du Yingluo said: "I just like it, besides, if he is with me, sooner or later he will change his temper for me." Meng Ning thought to herself when she saw her beautiful appearance with affectionate eyes and longing face. Well, she is so lucky that she can tell whoever she likes openly.Du Yingluo said, "Meng Ning, why haven't I seen you playing with Jiang Li recently?" Meng Ning was thinking of making up an excuse, when Yi Cong said, "What's so hard to guess? It must be Meng Ning who also suffers." Jiang Li is gone." Du Yingluo said, "You are the only one who is smart."
Not long after it was time to set off, Chu Yang and Meng Yinfeng saw the disciples off from afar.Seeing a beautiful figure of a concubine, Chu Yang said: "Is that Yingluo? Looking at her expression and behavior, she looks like she was carved out of the same mold as her mother." Meng Yinfeng said: "Jiang Xiuxin has blindly protected her shortcomings all these years and kept her My daughter has been taught to have the same temper as her. But in terms of arrogance, no one in this world can compare to Jiang Xiuxin." Seeing his uneasy expression, Chu Yang couldn't help thinking of a heavy past, and sighed: "It's been so long, you still Are you angry with her for that?" Meng Yinfeng said: "If it wasn't for her, if she had a little bit of conscience, Brother Jiang wouldn't..." Some past events will never scab without relief, but time is like a fierce Alcohol, the longer the wound hurts.Now that Meng Yinfeng thinks of that regret, she still feels heartbroken and unable to speak.Chu Yang sighed, unable to utter words of persuasion.
Jiang Li and the others were going to Caixiang City in the north, so they all flew north.Jiang Li saw that Meng Ning was talking and laughing with Yi Cong, Zhang Yuyi, Du Yingluo and others, but deliberately ignored him, so he stopped talking and flew silently by himself.On the contrary, the face-to-face disciple of Yunmenggu caught up and said, "You are Jiang Li, right?" In the past, I heard that you went to school in Xiaohuanfeng, and you always wanted to come, but unfortunately, the master didn't let you." Jiang Li said: "It's nothing good, I'd rather live in Cuiyu Valley forever." Han Siming smiled and said: "Yes Is it? Then I can have less regrets in my heart."
Seeing Jiang Li and Han Siming alone in front, Du Yingluo smiled and called, "Jiang Li, come and talk with us." Jiang Li didn't want to talk to him at first, but Han Siming was new to a small group and wanted to join in very actively, excitedly Pull on Jiang Li and pass.
Jiang Li asked lazily: "What's the matter?" Du Yingluo said: "I celebrate my birthday the day after tomorrow, what can you give me?"
Seeing her soft voice, Jiang Li didn't understand why she was talking like that for a moment, so he just said, "Then we'll talk about it the day after tomorrow." Du Yingluo smiled sweetly, and said, "Okay." Then he asked, "You don't want to ask me. What do you like?" Jiang Li just felt that she was inexplicable, and no longer wanted to talk to her, turned around and left.Du Yingluo pouted and snorted softly, thinking to herself, I will change your temper sooner or later.
Yi Cong was angry, so he stopped him and said, "Yingluo is talking to you." Seeing his angry face, Jiang Li couldn't help smiling, and said, "Oh, Yingluo talked to this kid, but she didn't talk to me. What should I do?" Yi Cong was anxious and angry when he saw that he exposed his own thoughts, and was about to teach him a lesson.But I heard Yan Yu say: "Okay, okay, don't quarrel." Yan Yu has a high prestige among young disciples these years.Although Yi Cong often caused troubles, he didn't dare to disobey this senior brother easily, so he had to give up.
After flying for half a day, everyone was a little tired.Du Yingluo said: "Brother Yan, why don't we go down and rest first." Yan Yu saw that the disciples looked really tired, and they were not in a hurry anyway, so she said, "Okay." He took everyone to find a small town, entered the city to find Went to an inn to rest.
Several people entered the inn, the waiter saw that these people were all carrying swords on their backs, their aura was extraordinary, and there was no trace of dust on the shoes and clothes, so they knew that they were cultivators, and quickly and enthusiastically greeted them to sit down.After they ordered some drinks and food, Yi Cong began to discuss how to celebrate Du Yingluo's birthday.Seeing that Meng Ning was in a trance, Jiang Li whispered in his ear, "Is there something wrong?" Jump.His heart was pounding, but his face said coldly: "It's okay."
Jiang Li saw that he ignored him, and other people were talking about things that he didn't care about, so he was bored for a while.He said: "I'll go out for a walk, you guys eat slowly." After that, he got up and left.Leaving the others looking at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what happened to him.Yi Cong said: "He has such an annoying temper." Yan Yu got up and chased him out, shouting: "Jiang Li, don't go too far." Jiang Li agreed and walked up the street alone.
The border of the human race gets hotter the further north it goes.It was early spring at this time, when the Shang Qingzong was still sprouting new buds and the weather was slightly cold; this place was only half a day's flight away, but flowers were already in full bloom everywhere.At noon, the warm sun was shining on my body, which was very pleasant, as if in a dream.Jiang Li was walking, passing by a teahouse, and suddenly felt something lightly hitting the top of his head.Jiang Li looked up and saw a man in Tsing Yi standing on the railing in the teahouse on the second floor, he said with a smile, "Don't come here all right? Come up and have a cup of spring tea?"
Jiang Lixi said: "Brother Ji! Why are you here?" He asked but didn't wait for the man's answer, he walked into the store and stepped up the stairs in two or three steps.Seeing that this person is still clothed and plain, leaning on the fence comfortably, smiling leisurely.The gentle spring sunshine shone on him, and he was really indescribably leisurely.Jiang Li said: "Your wine is really powerful. I drank it last time and was drunk for a whole day."
Ji Yong said: "If you like it, let's have another drink." He got up and asked Jiang Li to sit down.Jiang Li shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't dare to drink any more, I was almost scolded to death by Master last time." Then he told the story of taking part in the test while drunk.Ji Yong laughed and said, "That's my fault. I didn't know you had such an important test ahead. If I had known, I should have had tea." He poured Jiang Li a cup of tea.Jiang Li sniffed it, and felt the fragrance was pleasant, but it didn't taste good when he drank it.Ji Yong asked: "How do you feel?" Jiang Li said with a smile: "I don't know much about tea, but I feel wronged by drinking this tea." Ji Yong said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, I don't even have time to drink tea. A few days. It’s just arty, but I like wine more. But it’s a beautiful thing to drink a pot of tea and bask in the sun in such a pleasant spring day.” Although he said this, Jiang Li felt that he was just a quiet and elegant demeanor. joking.
The two chatted leisurely, and the whole afternoon was wasted.Ji Yong's conversation is extraordinary, and when he talks about strange people and strange things from all over the world, Jiang Li yearns for it even more.Jiang Li only felt that meeting him was a joy in life, and he forgot to ask him why he was here.
It was already dark, Jiang Li got up to bid farewell to Ji Yong, suddenly slapped his head and said, "I'm so happy to see you, I actually forgot to return your gourd." He untied the jasper gourd from his waist and handed it to Ji Yong.Ji Yong didn't refuse, and took it with a smile.Jiang Li said: "We're leaving today, I don't know when we'll see each other again." Ji Yong smiled and said, "I have my own way to find you."
On the second day, Jiang Li and his group continued to fly north, and the weather became hotter the further north they went.Jiang Li was flying in the air, and felt that the sun was particularly irritating, and his skin was burned hot.He couldn't help but think to himself, the mask of the third senior brother really came in handy.But wouldn't it look silly to wear a mask in public?Du Yingluo couldn't bear the heat and lost her temper a few times.Everyone had to stay on the way for one more day, and arrived at Caixiang City on the third day.
The day I arrived coincided with Du Yingluo's birthday, and a few people with me went to the inn to refresh and congratulate her.Yi Cong said softly: "This place is different from being in the sect. I can't celebrate as usual. I've wronged you." Du Yingluo said, "What's wrong with this? I'm not just celebrating this birthday. Give me What birthday present did you prepare?" Of course Yi Cong prepared it long ago, and he handed the gift box to Du Yingluo, Du Yingluo accepted it with a sweet smile, and put it on the table casually.Others also sent gifts one after another, but Jiang Li didn't move.
Du Yingluo glanced at Jiang Li and said, "Jiang Li, where is my present?"
☆, Picking Fragrance City
Jiang Li casually said that day, and had already forgotten about it.Seeing her asking, because she agreed casually that day, it's not easy to go back on her word.Remembering that there was still a large handful of blood jade necklaces in the storage bag, he took out one as a gift.
The necklace was made unique and cute, and Du Yingluo liked it very much when she saw it, so she gently rubbed the blood jade with her hand.Her fingers were delicate, and after touching them a few times, she felt a slight strange sensation under her fingers.Du Yingluo looked at the jade again at this time, and saw two words faintly revealed in the jade.
It turns out that this jade pendant has a peculiarity, after playing and touching, one can see the characters engraved in the stone.
When Du Yingluo saw those two words clearly, her face turned red, and she immediately put the jade pendant into her arms.She cast a coquettish look at him, thinking to herself, although he looks nonchalant on weekdays, he still has me in his heart.
Seeing that Du Yingluo was actually very satisfied, Jiang Li couldn't help praising the third senior brother for being so smart, and the things he prepared were so practical.
Yi Cong saw that Du Yingluo couldn't let go of Jiang Li's jade pendant, but didn't even look at the gift he carefully prepared. His heart was sore and jealous, and he couldn't sleep until midnight.He tossed and turned on the bed, and his thoughts wandered to Du Yingluo who lived in the next room.What is she doing now?Are you sleepless for whom?Alas, she is so proud, how could she secretly feel sorry for someone like me?
Just as he was thinking, he heard the door next door open.A person came out. "It's Yingluo", Yi Cong is very familiar with Du Yingluo's smiles and frowns, and she can't hear her footsteps wrong, "Can she really not sleep?" Thinking of this, he sat up and began to put on his outer clothes.
The rustling footsteps walked through the corridor in front of his door, and knocked lightly on the door next to him three times.With a sigh in his heart, his clothed hands drooped down.
Yi Cong felt sad for a while, and wondered if there were any mosquitoes outside?Has Yingluo been bitten?Alas, the moonlight seems to be very good tonight, has she dressed up for anyone?
Du Yingluo knocked again before the door opened.Jiang Li sleepily said: "It's you? What's the matter?" Du Yingluo snorted softly, and said, "You think you pretend to be such a fool, so I don't know that you like me?" Jiang Li Said: "Huh?" Du Yingluo said softly: "I know what you mean, and I treat you as usual in my heart." Jiang Li said "ha" again, and Du Yingluo said softly: "Wait until you go home from this experience. , I told my mother to let her decide our affairs. You have to tell your master." Jiang Li seemed to want to "ha" again, but was interrupted by a sudden yawn.Du Yingluo smiled and thumped Jiang Li's chest, and said in a gentle voice, "I told you to pretend not to be serious." After saying that, she trotted all the way back to the house.
Yi Cong's mind went blank for a moment, and he ran out the door without any clothes on.He ran to the door but couldn't move any further.
Early the next morning, Yan Yu summoned several juniors to assign tasks.After everyone sat down, he said: "As for the experience of new disciples, I believe the teachers in our sect have told you. There were not many monsters to kill before. This, this experience is inevitably a mere formality. But this time Qingzong's spies found a large number of traces of demons' private activities, and the experience is of course different from usual." He took out some communication symbols, distributed one to each person, and said, "There are six people in this investigation. In a group of two, try not to move alone, if you encounter danger, you will send out the communication symbol first, and the others will receive the signal, no matter what they are doing, they must go to the rescue." The six people should "yes", Yan Yu then
Said: "Let's form a team freely first."
The six of them started looking for partners. Jiang Li said, "Meng Ning, let's be in the same team." Although Meng Ning was his senior brother by name, because he was younger, he always called him by his first name since he was a child. Although Meng Yinfeng corrected too much This time, I haven't changed this habit.
Meng Ning said, "I've already teamed up with Senior Brother Zhang." Jiang Li took a look at Zhang Yuyi, and saw that he was watching the show.Jiang Li said: "You have just entered the Tao, how can he take care of you if you are in danger?" Meng Ning sneered: "Is your cultivation level the only one in this world?" Zhang Yuyi sneered: "Jiang Zhenren's cultivation base Chao Qun, where do we need a partner? We should all beg you to take care of us."
Du Yingluo took Jiang Li's arm, and said with a smile, "I'll be with you." Jiang Li didn't like Du Yingluo in the first place, but after being mocked by Zhang Yuyi, he said coldly, "Who cares?" After speaking, he walked over in two steps, pulled Meng Ning to a secluded place, and asked coldly, "Come on, why do you keep targeting me lately?" Character, why am I targeting you." Jiang Li mournfully said: "Then why are you ignoring me?" Seeing his sad expression, Meng Ning couldn't bear to look any further, turned his head and said coldly: "You are amazing, Master likes you, Yingluo also admires you. Could it be that the world is going to revolve around you?" Jiang Li recalled from his words, and said, "You like Du Yingluo? The friendship between the two of us grew up together because of a Du Yingluo , are you going to break up with me?" Meng Ning felt desolate when he heard him say that he would break up with me, and said, "You and Yingluo have a good time."
Jiang Li watched Meng Ning turn around and leave, his back was shady, very pitiful.Can't help but catch up two steps, shouted: "Meng Ning, Meng Ning." However, Meng Ning walked into the inn without looking back.Han Siming came out to find him, and saw that he was still standing on the corner of the street, as if in a daze.Said: "You and I are alone, why don't we form a team." Jiang Li forced a smile, not in the mood to speak, turned and left.Han Siming saw that he was depressed, so he chased after him, and comforted him: "It's normal for good friends to quarrel, don't be sad." Jiang Li thought, Meng Ning really hates me, why is he arguing with me? trouble?
Han Siming kept talking behind him.He seemed to be particularly talkative, talking non-stop even when no one was answering.The streets are bustling with pedestrians, and street vendors are selling some exotic fruits, which are quite different from those in the Qing Dynasty.Han Siming stopped to buy one, and said, "Look at this fruit is so big, I don't know if it's good or not." After he said that, he turned his head and saw that Jiang Li had gone to the front with the crowd.He paid the money, chased Jiang Li through the crowd, divided the fruit in half, and said, "This fruit looks really fresh, why don't you try it?" When he bought the lotus pod, his heart felt warm.He took the fruit, took a bite, and said with a light smile, "Thank you."
Han Siming patted him on the shoulder and said, "We're all from the same school, so thank you."
Thinking of the old days, Jiang Li felt a little happier.She secretly thought in her heart: "Since he likes Du Yingluo, I will just ignore her from now on. How can brotherhood be so unbearable to the test?" Then he thought, "Du Yingluo is so delicate and savage, why are so many fellow disciples so obsessed with her?"
Jiang Li made up his mind like this, and felt that there was hope for reconciliation with Meng Ning, and his emotions also rose.He and Han Siming were walking around, passing a bookstore, and remembered that his third brother Mu Yinan had asked him to find a book called "Young Master in the Cloud", so he went in and looked for it on the bookshelf.Because there are many fans of this book, although the author has passed away for a long time, there are still too many sequels circulating in the market today.Jiang Liguang found seven or eight books in this bookstore.He pulled them out to look at them one by one, and found that most of them were mere sequels. He thought to himself, if he buys these things back, he will probably be scolded by his senior sister.When I saw the last book, I found that the writing was exquisite and the imagination was peculiar.He was overjoyed and bought the book.
"There seems to be a problem here." Han Siming pulled Jiang Li over and whispered.
Jiang Li looked around, but found nothing unusual, and asked, "What's the problem?"
Han Siming clapped his hands, took out a black stone, and said in a low voice, "Yes, magic, and qi!"
Jiang Li said: "What kind of rock are you, it's so dark."
Han Siming said: "This is the measuring stone. It is usually white. It turns black when it encounters demonic energy, and turns green when it encounters evil energy."
Jiang Li said: "What a powerful stone. Can it point out where the source of the magic energy is?"
Han Siming said: "No." He put the stone in the storage bag and said, "Let's stay in this store for a while and see the situation."
The two stayed quietly in the store, and when the other customers in the store had gone out, the stone was still shaking in the storage bag.Han Siming patted the storage bag, and reprimanded softly: "Look at your promise, don't shake." The stone stopped for a while, then started shaking again.
Jiang Li said: "You stone can understand human language?"
Han Siming said: "Ordinary rocks can't understand, but I often talk to it, and now he can understand a little bit."
Jiang Li thought of his chatty nature, and felt that what he said made sense.The two discussed for a while, and both felt that the monster was in the store, so they decided not to startle the snake, and explore it at night.
The two of them hid not far from the bookstore, which would hurt the common people, and planned to wait until the dead of night to visit again.Unexpectedly, Caixiang City is located in a hot place, and the climate is cool at night, which is the time for local people to do activities.It was very late at night, and the two of them wanted to doze off in the dark, but the long street was still brightly lit.At this time, decades have passed since the Great War, and the world is already a scene of prosperity and peace.Lovers whispering softly can be seen everywhere on the street, and families are often seen sitting around eating supper in restaurants.
Han Siming said: "Why don't we go have a supper too." Then he slapped a big mosquito to death, and said, "There are so many mosquitoes in Caixiang City!"
At this moment, the stone in Han Siming's storage bag shook again, lightly twice.It shook slightly again, and then fell silent.Han Siming shook the storage bag and asked, "Why are you shaking?" The stone didn't move, as if it had just turned over.
Both of them hid in the dark, and there were mosquitoes everywhere, and they both bravely went forward, and bit the flesh whenever they saw it.The two were tired and exhausted, and they stayed awake only because of the mosquitoes.While swatting the mosquitoes, he saw a man in Tsing Yi walking towards him amidst the bright lights. He couldn't see his face clearly against the light behind his back, but he was walking in a leisurely manner, with fluttering clothes, and he had a chic demeanor.
The visitor said with a smile: "I saw that you have been waiting here for a long time, maybe there is something important to deal with. I shouldn't disturb you at first, but seeing you jumping around to slap the mosquitoes, I think it is necessary for me to send you Here comes a bottle of mosquito repellent."
Jiang Li said pleasantly, "Brother Ji, I didn't expect you to be here." When Han Siming heard the mosquito repellent, he said joyfully, "You actually carry this kind of thing with you?" Ji Yong sprayed the mosquito repellant everywhere, and the mosquitoes were indeed Stay away.Ji Yong said with a smile: "Caixiang City is no better than Shang Qingzong, the mosquitoes are big and poisonous. If you don't bring mosquito repellent water, why are you going to feed the mosquitoes?" Han Siming saw that the mosquito repellent water was really effective, so he didn't mind Ji Yong's jokes , followed by laughing.
Ji Yong said: "Since you have something important to do, I won't bother you. I have some fine wine here. If you like, you can drink it to pass the time." He is fond of wine and always carries some wine with him.
Han Siming said: "There is nothing important. It is just that I found a devil in the bookstore in front. I see that your cultivation is profound. If there is nothing important, can you stay and help us?" Ji Yong readily agreed.But the street was still very lively, and several people decided to have a supper first.
After the three of them had supper, there were fewer pedestrians on the street.Several people waited for a while, until the street lights were gradually extinguished, and the brilliance of the stars and the moon spread softly on the long street, and then stepped on the moonlight and sneaked into the bookstore quietly.
There is only a small window on the door to catch the moonlight in the store, and the books are safely placed on the shelves.The towering bookshelves cast a thick black shadow, which is very bluffing.There was silence all around, and Jiang Li asked, "Is your rock still shaking?" Han Siming touched the storage bag suspiciously, and said, "It's strange, it doesn't shake anymore. Could it be that the monster has already run away after sensing our presence?"
☆, Picking Fragrance City
The three of them had no lighting, and searched the store several times before finding a loose wooden board in the corner.Jiang Li moved the board away, revealing a dark hole in the ground.The three of them looked at each other, not knowing what was in the cave.
The three of them went down the wooden stairs to the cave in the dark.It was found that the air in this hole was circulated, and it was not very stuffy.You can't see your fingers in the hole, as if someone is staring at them in the darkness.Han Siming had never left the sect, so he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.He grabbed Jiang Li and said, "There is no movement from the Yishi Stone, could it be that the devil ran away early?" Jiang Li heard his voice trembling, and said, "Don't be afraid, let's see what's weird in the cellar first. "Han Siming asked: "Aren't you afraid?" Jiang Li was a child in a homeless life, how could he care about being afraid of the dark?He smiled and said, "What's there to be afraid of?"
There was silence in the darkness, and a few people were groping in the darkness, and when they occasionally said a word, it seemed extremely abrupt.Jiang Li groped for something, and said, "There's something here." Han Siming asked, "What is it?" Said: "It's a dead man."
Han Siming exclaimed and held back again.At this time, the light in the room was bright, and Han Siming looked towards the light source, and saw that it was Ji Yong who had lit a torch.But he didn't dare to look towards Jiang Li, for fear of seeing the dead man.
Jiang Li said: "Looks like he's been dead for a long time." Ji Yong went up to take a look, and saw that the man's muscles were almost rotten, and his clothes were still in good condition.He was sitting in front of a desk with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on it. The ink was still stained on the pen, and the nib was condensed into a bunch after it dried. He was obviously writing before he died.However, there was not a single piece of paper on the table, so maybe someone searched it away.
Huozhezi's radiance is limited, and if it is a little farther away, it will be completely black.Han Siming didn't dare to stay in the dark anymore, but he didn't dare to get too close to the corpse, so he could only follow Ji Yong and Jiang Li not too far away.
Han Siming said: "Let's go back first, tell the other classmates before we come together." Jiang Li said gently: "Don't be afraid, look, he's rotten and clean. He's not creepy at all." Han Siming wailed, Cover your eyes.
Jiang Li searched around in the cellar, stopped in front of a wall, and said, "There is a barrier here." Han Siming finally opened his eyes, carefully avoiding the corpse, and went to check.He put his hand on the wall, and the wall under his hand felt rough and hard, just like other walls.However fine
Seeing that Meng Ning was getting thinner, and there were bruises under his eyes, she asked softly, "What's the matter? Is there something on your mind? Tell Mrs. Shi about it?" Meng Ning's mind is not something that can be shared with others. He shook his head, Said: "Thank you, Master, I just thought about going far away, so I can't sleep." Su Wanhe was always smart, but never used it to guess people. Since he didn't want to say it, she didn't ask, and said instead: "Don't blame me. Your master is too strict with you. He also loves deeply and takes responsibility very seriously." Senior brothers and sisters often said this to him, Meng Ning said in a low voice: "Yes, I dare not blame master." Su Wanhe sighed: "You also know that the three races of humans, demons, and demons have been entangled for a long time. After all, human monks have to fight head-on with demons. The battlefield is no more than the school field, and there is no end to it. If the cultivation base and luck are a little bit worse , it is difficult to come back from the battlefield alive. Your master is one, and now he is the only one left. Do you look at the other families of Qingzong, which ones are well-equipped? Every time your master sees you, he will be worried. One day if you want to go to the battlefield, what will you do? You see that he often speaks harshly to you, but he doesn’t know that you are the person he cares about the most.” Meng Ning really felt that the master was biased in private in the past, and she couldn’t help crying when she heard this , speechless.Su Wanhe wiped his tears for him, took out a jade talisman, and said, "Your master asked me to give it to you. He was angry with you just now, so he couldn't bear to give it to you himself." Meng Ning took it and looked at it. , choked with sobs and said: "Master actually prepared the imperial talisman for me?" The production of this imperial talisman is particularly time-consuming and laborious. It needs to use the extremely rare storage jade as a match. Because the raw materials are hard to find and the production process is complicated, it has always been priceless.Su Wan said softly: "Your master and I were very worried when you and Jiang Li went out for the first time. Especially you, who don't even know how to control a sword. If you encounter some powerful monsters, how will you protect yourself? Your master thinks about it." Go, I came up with this idea."
This imperial spirit talisman can convey aura to the person who uses it. People with low cultivation level use this talisman, just like the elders escorting them, it is a good thing to save their lives.
Meng Yinfeng saw Meng Ning going out, so he said to Jiang Li: "Meng Ning's cultivation level is low, I was very worried about letting him go out alone, so I put him in a group with you. Take care of him." Jiang Li said in a respectful voice: "Master, don't worry, I will do my best to protect him." Meng Yinfeng continued: "The senior brother of your team is Yan Yu, and I also said hello to him. He is a thoughtful and reliable person, and you must listen to his orders along the way." Jiang Li replied "Yes".Meng Yinfeng told Jiang Li a lot more before letting Jiang Li leave.
When Jiang Li went out, he saw Meng Ning's eyes were red, and he was still in front of the door, so he asked with concern, "What's the matter?" Meng Ning shook his head, and said, "It's nothing." Angry, he put his arms around his shoulders and said, "Brother, let's go find him." Meng Ning said, "I know, let's go together."
The two came to Mu Yinan's room together. Seeing Meng Ning's eyes were red, Mu Yinan said, "Have you been scolded by Master again? Don't be sad, you can be free right now." Meng Ning was being held by Meng Yinfeng Touched, hearing what Mu Yinan said, he said angrily, "Senior brother!" Mu Yinan said, "I'm telling the truth! New disciples have been training for a long time, and the second senior brother and I have participated in it. Although the suzerain and master They made the atmosphere tense," Mu Yinan said with her lips pursed, disdainful, "but it's actually not that dangerous. Most of the time, I just go wandering around the world for half a year and come back. It's like traveling in mountains and rivers. There are not many monsters in the world nowadays, and many teams go out for half a year without encountering a single monster, so they can only kill some robbers and ghosts to pass the time."
Jiang Li said: "But the master said that there are accidents every year in the experience." Mu Yinan said: "It's very rare, how can you memorize it so little?" Okay. If you really encounter a monster, you can beat it if you can beat it. If you can't beat it, you can beat it next time." Meng Ning said: "If Master hears what you say, he will definitely scold you again." Mu Yinan giggled He smiled and said: "Don't tell Master, it will be done." After he finished speaking, he pulled out a big wooden box from under the bed, and said: "This box was passed on from the elder sister to the second senior brother, and from the second senior brother to me. It's time for you." He said this with emotion and comfort, which made Jiang Li and Meng Ning very moved.There was a layer of dust on the box, Mu Yinan nonchalantly swept the dust away with his sleeve, and opened the box with a snap.
Jiang Li and Meng Ning took a closer look, and saw that the box was full of thread-bound books and many sundries of unknown use.Jiang Li picked up those books and said, "24 Scenic Spots of Yunzhou", "Three-state Travel Guide", "Must-Visit Scenic Spots in the South"?" Mu Yinan said: "You have never been out of the house, how would you know if you don't read these books? Is it fun?" Meng Ning said: "We're not here to play." Mu Yinan said: "I'm from here, don't you know? There are so many fights for you to fight!" Jiang Li picked up another stack Book: ""Young Master in the Cloud", "Three Things About Me and the Real Man", "The Handsome Fairy Falls in Love with Me", how come there are still six copies of "Young Master in the Cloud"?" Mu Yinan said: "It belongs to the elder sister. It is said that This "Young Master in the Cloud" still has volume [-], but the author died before finishing it, and the elder sister has been sad for a while." Jiang Li flipped through the book, and said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, the elder sister Such a fierce person, yet such a tender heart."
He put these books back, glanced at another book, and said, ""Winning Brothel Handbook"? The elder sister has a lot of knowledge!" Mu Yinan said: "Ah, that's mine. All these years, my two friends and I Brother also bought something. For example, this." Jiang Li saw that it was a refined silver mask, and asked, "Why do you wear a mask?" Mu Yinan said, "Sun protection! You fly in the air all day Flying here and there, without this, you will definitely be seen as stupid." Meng Ning smiled and said: "I don't want this thing, it looks so stupid to wear."
Mu Yinan took out a necklace and asked, "What about this one?" A blood jade in the shape of a maple leaf hung on this necklace, which looked very cute.Meng Ning said: "Who can wear such a necklace?" Mu Yinan said: "Where do you want to bring it yourself and give it away?" Jiang Li said: "Why do you want to give someone a necklace?" Mu Yinan laughed : "You don't understand this. Back then, the second senior brother gained countless hearts by giving necklaces. Alas, it's a pity that he is not in the valley, otherwise he would definitely give you a good explanation."
Jiang Li asked disappointedly: "Is there anything practical?" Mu Yinan was anxious, and said, "These are the most practical! Other medicines, flying swords, and the sect will send them out." He thought for a while, never He found a book under the pillow and said, "Why don't I give this book to you too." Jiang Li took it and flipped through a page or two, then threw the book back on the bed with a shaking hand, saying, "Senior brother, You actually read these books!" Out of curiosity, Meng Ning picked it up and looked, and found that the book was wrapped in lambskin, and the name could not be read.Looking at it open, some villains are entangled with each other.Meng Ning read several pages before vaguely guessing what it was doing. She blushed and was stunned.
Mu Yinan laughed loudly: "Meng Ning, you usually look so honest, you can't think of it." He hooked Meng Ning's shoulder and said, "If you like senior brother, you can reluctantly give up and give it to you." Meng Ning put Throwing the book back on the bed, he said, "I don't want it!"
In the end, the two of them didn't want the lambskin book, and put other items into the storage bag.When leaving, Mu Yinan asked: "You guys also help Senior Sister to pay attention this time, see if there is anyone who continues to write "Young Master in the Cloud", if there is any, help Senior Sister buy it back." Jiang Li and Meng Ning agreed , we went back to Xiaohuanfeng together, packed our bags, and prepared to leave tomorrow.
On the second day, Jiang Li and Meng Ning got up early in the morning to gather and prepare to set off.Yan Yu was indeed the leader of Jiang Li and Meng Ning's team, and Yi Cong and Zhang Yuyi from Xiaohuanfeng, Du Yingluo from Huanyue Valley, and a fresh-faced Yunmenggu disciple were also on the same team.Yan Yu is the most outstanding disciple of this generation, probably the chief of the valley can only feel at ease if he puts his beloved disciple in his team.When Yan Yu saw that both Yi Cong and Du Yingluo were in his team, he couldn't help feeling dizzy.
Jiang Li has always been at odds with Yi Cong and Zhang Yuyi, knowing that he wants to be with them, he is unhappy but doesn't show it.He only said to Meng Ning: "We are in a group, you don't know how to control the sword, let me take you?" Meng Ning said: "Let's talk."In the end, he still said: "Master has prepared a talisman for me, and I can use it to control my sword." At this moment, Yi Cong came over and said to Meng Ning: "We are divided into a group, let's go, let's discuss together." Meng Meng Ning said: "Okay." He said to Jiang Li, "I'll go and talk to them." Then he left with Yi Cong.Hearing his cold tone, Jiang Li couldn't help feeling sad again.
Because of Meng Ning's soft temper, he has a good relationship with his classmates, and many people greeted him along the way.Seeing them coming, Du Yingluo and Zhang Yuyi both waved and said, "Come on, come on, we're about to start." Du Yingluo saw Meng Ning, pulled him over and asked, "You gave Jiang Li the paper crane? Is it?" Meng Ning said, "Yes." Du Yingluo said with rare coercion, "Then why, why didn't he have it?" Seeing that Du Yingluo was ashamed and annoyed, Meng Ning couldn't tell her that Jiang Li didn't look at that at all. Zhihe just said: "Maybe he is very busy these two days." Du Yingluo thought about it and thought it was probably so.She was born beautiful, and surrounded by a cloud of suitors, she felt that there was no man in the world who did not admire her.
☆, gift
When Yi Cong heard this, he felt mixed emotions.He had admired Du Yingluo since he was a child, but he knew that she was always proud and arrogant, so he didn't dare to reveal the slightest bit, for fear that he wouldn't even be a friend.Zhang Yuyi had always understood Yi Cong's thoughts, and seeing Yi Cong's expression, she said, "Yingluo, what's so good about Jiang Li? Look at his stinky and stubborn temper, only Meng Ning can bear it." " Du Yingluo said: "I just like it, besides, if he is with me, sooner or later he will change his temper for me." Meng Ning thought to herself when she saw her beautiful appearance with affectionate eyes and longing face. Well, she is so lucky that she can tell whoever she likes openly.Du Yingluo said, "Meng Ning, why haven't I seen you playing with Jiang Li recently?" Meng Ning was thinking of making up an excuse, when Yi Cong said, "What's so hard to guess? It must be Meng Ning who also suffers." Jiang Li is gone." Du Yingluo said, "You are the only one who is smart."
Not long after it was time to set off, Chu Yang and Meng Yinfeng saw the disciples off from afar.Seeing a beautiful figure of a concubine, Chu Yang said: "Is that Yingluo? Looking at her expression and behavior, she looks like she was carved out of the same mold as her mother." Meng Yinfeng said: "Jiang Xiuxin has blindly protected her shortcomings all these years and kept her My daughter has been taught to have the same temper as her. But in terms of arrogance, no one in this world can compare to Jiang Xiuxin." Seeing his uneasy expression, Chu Yang couldn't help thinking of a heavy past, and sighed: "It's been so long, you still Are you angry with her for that?" Meng Yinfeng said: "If it wasn't for her, if she had a little bit of conscience, Brother Jiang wouldn't..." Some past events will never scab without relief, but time is like a fierce Alcohol, the longer the wound hurts.Now that Meng Yinfeng thinks of that regret, she still feels heartbroken and unable to speak.Chu Yang sighed, unable to utter words of persuasion.
Jiang Li and the others were going to Caixiang City in the north, so they all flew north.Jiang Li saw that Meng Ning was talking and laughing with Yi Cong, Zhang Yuyi, Du Yingluo and others, but deliberately ignored him, so he stopped talking and flew silently by himself.On the contrary, the face-to-face disciple of Yunmenggu caught up and said, "You are Jiang Li, right?" In the past, I heard that you went to school in Xiaohuanfeng, and you always wanted to come, but unfortunately, the master didn't let you." Jiang Li said: "It's nothing good, I'd rather live in Cuiyu Valley forever." Han Siming smiled and said: "Yes Is it? Then I can have less regrets in my heart."
Seeing Jiang Li and Han Siming alone in front, Du Yingluo smiled and called, "Jiang Li, come and talk with us." Jiang Li didn't want to talk to him at first, but Han Siming was new to a small group and wanted to join in very actively, excitedly Pull on Jiang Li and pass.
Jiang Li asked lazily: "What's the matter?" Du Yingluo said: "I celebrate my birthday the day after tomorrow, what can you give me?"
Seeing her soft voice, Jiang Li didn't understand why she was talking like that for a moment, so he just said, "Then we'll talk about it the day after tomorrow." Du Yingluo smiled sweetly, and said, "Okay." Then he asked, "You don't want to ask me. What do you like?" Jiang Li just felt that she was inexplicable, and no longer wanted to talk to her, turned around and left.Du Yingluo pouted and snorted softly, thinking to herself, I will change your temper sooner or later.
Yi Cong was angry, so he stopped him and said, "Yingluo is talking to you." Seeing his angry face, Jiang Li couldn't help smiling, and said, "Oh, Yingluo talked to this kid, but she didn't talk to me. What should I do?" Yi Cong was anxious and angry when he saw that he exposed his own thoughts, and was about to teach him a lesson.But I heard Yan Yu say: "Okay, okay, don't quarrel." Yan Yu has a high prestige among young disciples these years.Although Yi Cong often caused troubles, he didn't dare to disobey this senior brother easily, so he had to give up.
After flying for half a day, everyone was a little tired.Du Yingluo said: "Brother Yan, why don't we go down and rest first." Yan Yu saw that the disciples looked really tired, and they were not in a hurry anyway, so she said, "Okay." He took everyone to find a small town, entered the city to find Went to an inn to rest.
Several people entered the inn, the waiter saw that these people were all carrying swords on their backs, their aura was extraordinary, and there was no trace of dust on the shoes and clothes, so they knew that they were cultivators, and quickly and enthusiastically greeted them to sit down.After they ordered some drinks and food, Yi Cong began to discuss how to celebrate Du Yingluo's birthday.Seeing that Meng Ning was in a trance, Jiang Li whispered in his ear, "Is there something wrong?" Jump.His heart was pounding, but his face said coldly: "It's okay."
Jiang Li saw that he ignored him, and other people were talking about things that he didn't care about, so he was bored for a while.He said: "I'll go out for a walk, you guys eat slowly." After that, he got up and left.Leaving the others looking at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what happened to him.Yi Cong said: "He has such an annoying temper." Yan Yu got up and chased him out, shouting: "Jiang Li, don't go too far." Jiang Li agreed and walked up the street alone.
The border of the human race gets hotter the further north it goes.It was early spring at this time, when the Shang Qingzong was still sprouting new buds and the weather was slightly cold; this place was only half a day's flight away, but flowers were already in full bloom everywhere.At noon, the warm sun was shining on my body, which was very pleasant, as if in a dream.Jiang Li was walking, passing by a teahouse, and suddenly felt something lightly hitting the top of his head.Jiang Li looked up and saw a man in Tsing Yi standing on the railing in the teahouse on the second floor, he said with a smile, "Don't come here all right? Come up and have a cup of spring tea?"
Jiang Lixi said: "Brother Ji! Why are you here?" He asked but didn't wait for the man's answer, he walked into the store and stepped up the stairs in two or three steps.Seeing that this person is still clothed and plain, leaning on the fence comfortably, smiling leisurely.The gentle spring sunshine shone on him, and he was really indescribably leisurely.Jiang Li said: "Your wine is really powerful. I drank it last time and was drunk for a whole day."
Ji Yong said: "If you like it, let's have another drink." He got up and asked Jiang Li to sit down.Jiang Li shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't dare to drink any more, I was almost scolded to death by Master last time." Then he told the story of taking part in the test while drunk.Ji Yong laughed and said, "That's my fault. I didn't know you had such an important test ahead. If I had known, I should have had tea." He poured Jiang Li a cup of tea.Jiang Li sniffed it, and felt the fragrance was pleasant, but it didn't taste good when he drank it.Ji Yong asked: "How do you feel?" Jiang Li said with a smile: "I don't know much about tea, but I feel wronged by drinking this tea." Ji Yong said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, I don't even have time to drink tea. A few days. It’s just arty, but I like wine more. But it’s a beautiful thing to drink a pot of tea and bask in the sun in such a pleasant spring day.” Although he said this, Jiang Li felt that he was just a quiet and elegant demeanor. joking.
The two chatted leisurely, and the whole afternoon was wasted.Ji Yong's conversation is extraordinary, and when he talks about strange people and strange things from all over the world, Jiang Li yearns for it even more.Jiang Li only felt that meeting him was a joy in life, and he forgot to ask him why he was here.
It was already dark, Jiang Li got up to bid farewell to Ji Yong, suddenly slapped his head and said, "I'm so happy to see you, I actually forgot to return your gourd." He untied the jasper gourd from his waist and handed it to Ji Yong.Ji Yong didn't refuse, and took it with a smile.Jiang Li said: "We're leaving today, I don't know when we'll see each other again." Ji Yong smiled and said, "I have my own way to find you."
On the second day, Jiang Li and his group continued to fly north, and the weather became hotter the further north they went.Jiang Li was flying in the air, and felt that the sun was particularly irritating, and his skin was burned hot.He couldn't help but think to himself, the mask of the third senior brother really came in handy.But wouldn't it look silly to wear a mask in public?Du Yingluo couldn't bear the heat and lost her temper a few times.Everyone had to stay on the way for one more day, and arrived at Caixiang City on the third day.
The day I arrived coincided with Du Yingluo's birthday, and a few people with me went to the inn to refresh and congratulate her.Yi Cong said softly: "This place is different from being in the sect. I can't celebrate as usual. I've wronged you." Du Yingluo said, "What's wrong with this? I'm not just celebrating this birthday. Give me What birthday present did you prepare?" Of course Yi Cong prepared it long ago, and he handed the gift box to Du Yingluo, Du Yingluo accepted it with a sweet smile, and put it on the table casually.Others also sent gifts one after another, but Jiang Li didn't move.
Du Yingluo glanced at Jiang Li and said, "Jiang Li, where is my present?"
☆, Picking Fragrance City
Jiang Li casually said that day, and had already forgotten about it.Seeing her asking, because she agreed casually that day, it's not easy to go back on her word.Remembering that there was still a large handful of blood jade necklaces in the storage bag, he took out one as a gift.
The necklace was made unique and cute, and Du Yingluo liked it very much when she saw it, so she gently rubbed the blood jade with her hand.Her fingers were delicate, and after touching them a few times, she felt a slight strange sensation under her fingers.Du Yingluo looked at the jade again at this time, and saw two words faintly revealed in the jade.
It turns out that this jade pendant has a peculiarity, after playing and touching, one can see the characters engraved in the stone.
When Du Yingluo saw those two words clearly, her face turned red, and she immediately put the jade pendant into her arms.She cast a coquettish look at him, thinking to herself, although he looks nonchalant on weekdays, he still has me in his heart.
Seeing that Du Yingluo was actually very satisfied, Jiang Li couldn't help praising the third senior brother for being so smart, and the things he prepared were so practical.
Yi Cong saw that Du Yingluo couldn't let go of Jiang Li's jade pendant, but didn't even look at the gift he carefully prepared. His heart was sore and jealous, and he couldn't sleep until midnight.He tossed and turned on the bed, and his thoughts wandered to Du Yingluo who lived in the next room.What is she doing now?Are you sleepless for whom?Alas, she is so proud, how could she secretly feel sorry for someone like me?
Just as he was thinking, he heard the door next door open.A person came out. "It's Yingluo", Yi Cong is very familiar with Du Yingluo's smiles and frowns, and she can't hear her footsteps wrong, "Can she really not sleep?" Thinking of this, he sat up and began to put on his outer clothes.
The rustling footsteps walked through the corridor in front of his door, and knocked lightly on the door next to him three times.With a sigh in his heart, his clothed hands drooped down.
Yi Cong felt sad for a while, and wondered if there were any mosquitoes outside?Has Yingluo been bitten?Alas, the moonlight seems to be very good tonight, has she dressed up for anyone?
Du Yingluo knocked again before the door opened.Jiang Li sleepily said: "It's you? What's the matter?" Du Yingluo snorted softly, and said, "You think you pretend to be such a fool, so I don't know that you like me?" Jiang Li Said: "Huh?" Du Yingluo said softly: "I know what you mean, and I treat you as usual in my heart." Jiang Li said "ha" again, and Du Yingluo said softly: "Wait until you go home from this experience. , I told my mother to let her decide our affairs. You have to tell your master." Jiang Li seemed to want to "ha" again, but was interrupted by a sudden yawn.Du Yingluo smiled and thumped Jiang Li's chest, and said in a gentle voice, "I told you to pretend not to be serious." After saying that, she trotted all the way back to the house.
Yi Cong's mind went blank for a moment, and he ran out the door without any clothes on.He ran to the door but couldn't move any further.
Early the next morning, Yan Yu summoned several juniors to assign tasks.After everyone sat down, he said: "As for the experience of new disciples, I believe the teachers in our sect have told you. There were not many monsters to kill before. This, this experience is inevitably a mere formality. But this time Qingzong's spies found a large number of traces of demons' private activities, and the experience is of course different from usual." He took out some communication symbols, distributed one to each person, and said, "There are six people in this investigation. In a group of two, try not to move alone, if you encounter danger, you will send out the communication symbol first, and the others will receive the signal, no matter what they are doing, they must go to the rescue." The six people should "yes", Yan Yu then
Said: "Let's form a team freely first."
The six of them started looking for partners. Jiang Li said, "Meng Ning, let's be in the same team." Although Meng Ning was his senior brother by name, because he was younger, he always called him by his first name since he was a child. Although Meng Yinfeng corrected too much This time, I haven't changed this habit.
Meng Ning said, "I've already teamed up with Senior Brother Zhang." Jiang Li took a look at Zhang Yuyi, and saw that he was watching the show.Jiang Li said: "You have just entered the Tao, how can he take care of you if you are in danger?" Meng Ning sneered: "Is your cultivation level the only one in this world?" Zhang Yuyi sneered: "Jiang Zhenren's cultivation base Chao Qun, where do we need a partner? We should all beg you to take care of us."
Du Yingluo took Jiang Li's arm, and said with a smile, "I'll be with you." Jiang Li didn't like Du Yingluo in the first place, but after being mocked by Zhang Yuyi, he said coldly, "Who cares?" After speaking, he walked over in two steps, pulled Meng Ning to a secluded place, and asked coldly, "Come on, why do you keep targeting me lately?" Character, why am I targeting you." Jiang Li mournfully said: "Then why are you ignoring me?" Seeing his sad expression, Meng Ning couldn't bear to look any further, turned his head and said coldly: "You are amazing, Master likes you, Yingluo also admires you. Could it be that the world is going to revolve around you?" Jiang Li recalled from his words, and said, "You like Du Yingluo? The friendship between the two of us grew up together because of a Du Yingluo , are you going to break up with me?" Meng Ning felt desolate when he heard him say that he would break up with me, and said, "You and Yingluo have a good time."
Jiang Li watched Meng Ning turn around and leave, his back was shady, very pitiful.Can't help but catch up two steps, shouted: "Meng Ning, Meng Ning." However, Meng Ning walked into the inn without looking back.Han Siming came out to find him, and saw that he was still standing on the corner of the street, as if in a daze.Said: "You and I are alone, why don't we form a team." Jiang Li forced a smile, not in the mood to speak, turned and left.Han Siming saw that he was depressed, so he chased after him, and comforted him: "It's normal for good friends to quarrel, don't be sad." Jiang Li thought, Meng Ning really hates me, why is he arguing with me? trouble?
Han Siming kept talking behind him.He seemed to be particularly talkative, talking non-stop even when no one was answering.The streets are bustling with pedestrians, and street vendors are selling some exotic fruits, which are quite different from those in the Qing Dynasty.Han Siming stopped to buy one, and said, "Look at this fruit is so big, I don't know if it's good or not." After he said that, he turned his head and saw that Jiang Li had gone to the front with the crowd.He paid the money, chased Jiang Li through the crowd, divided the fruit in half, and said, "This fruit looks really fresh, why don't you try it?" When he bought the lotus pod, his heart felt warm.He took the fruit, took a bite, and said with a light smile, "Thank you."
Han Siming patted him on the shoulder and said, "We're all from the same school, so thank you."
Thinking of the old days, Jiang Li felt a little happier.She secretly thought in her heart: "Since he likes Du Yingluo, I will just ignore her from now on. How can brotherhood be so unbearable to the test?" Then he thought, "Du Yingluo is so delicate and savage, why are so many fellow disciples so obsessed with her?"
Jiang Li made up his mind like this, and felt that there was hope for reconciliation with Meng Ning, and his emotions also rose.He and Han Siming were walking around, passing a bookstore, and remembered that his third brother Mu Yinan had asked him to find a book called "Young Master in the Cloud", so he went in and looked for it on the bookshelf.Because there are many fans of this book, although the author has passed away for a long time, there are still too many sequels circulating in the market today.Jiang Liguang found seven or eight books in this bookstore.He pulled them out to look at them one by one, and found that most of them were mere sequels. He thought to himself, if he buys these things back, he will probably be scolded by his senior sister.When I saw the last book, I found that the writing was exquisite and the imagination was peculiar.He was overjoyed and bought the book.
"There seems to be a problem here." Han Siming pulled Jiang Li over and whispered.
Jiang Li looked around, but found nothing unusual, and asked, "What's the problem?"
Han Siming clapped his hands, took out a black stone, and said in a low voice, "Yes, magic, and qi!"
Jiang Li said: "What kind of rock are you, it's so dark."
Han Siming said: "This is the measuring stone. It is usually white. It turns black when it encounters demonic energy, and turns green when it encounters evil energy."
Jiang Li said: "What a powerful stone. Can it point out where the source of the magic energy is?"
Han Siming said: "No." He put the stone in the storage bag and said, "Let's stay in this store for a while and see the situation."
The two stayed quietly in the store, and when the other customers in the store had gone out, the stone was still shaking in the storage bag.Han Siming patted the storage bag, and reprimanded softly: "Look at your promise, don't shake." The stone stopped for a while, then started shaking again.
Jiang Li said: "You stone can understand human language?"
Han Siming said: "Ordinary rocks can't understand, but I often talk to it, and now he can understand a little bit."
Jiang Li thought of his chatty nature, and felt that what he said made sense.The two discussed for a while, and both felt that the monster was in the store, so they decided not to startle the snake, and explore it at night.
The two of them hid not far from the bookstore, which would hurt the common people, and planned to wait until the dead of night to visit again.Unexpectedly, Caixiang City is located in a hot place, and the climate is cool at night, which is the time for local people to do activities.It was very late at night, and the two of them wanted to doze off in the dark, but the long street was still brightly lit.At this time, decades have passed since the Great War, and the world is already a scene of prosperity and peace.Lovers whispering softly can be seen everywhere on the street, and families are often seen sitting around eating supper in restaurants.
Han Siming said: "Why don't we go have a supper too." Then he slapped a big mosquito to death, and said, "There are so many mosquitoes in Caixiang City!"
At this moment, the stone in Han Siming's storage bag shook again, lightly twice.It shook slightly again, and then fell silent.Han Siming shook the storage bag and asked, "Why are you shaking?" The stone didn't move, as if it had just turned over.
Both of them hid in the dark, and there were mosquitoes everywhere, and they both bravely went forward, and bit the flesh whenever they saw it.The two were tired and exhausted, and they stayed awake only because of the mosquitoes.While swatting the mosquitoes, he saw a man in Tsing Yi walking towards him amidst the bright lights. He couldn't see his face clearly against the light behind his back, but he was walking in a leisurely manner, with fluttering clothes, and he had a chic demeanor.
The visitor said with a smile: "I saw that you have been waiting here for a long time, maybe there is something important to deal with. I shouldn't disturb you at first, but seeing you jumping around to slap the mosquitoes, I think it is necessary for me to send you Here comes a bottle of mosquito repellent."
Jiang Li said pleasantly, "Brother Ji, I didn't expect you to be here." When Han Siming heard the mosquito repellent, he said joyfully, "You actually carry this kind of thing with you?" Ji Yong sprayed the mosquito repellant everywhere, and the mosquitoes were indeed Stay away.Ji Yong said with a smile: "Caixiang City is no better than Shang Qingzong, the mosquitoes are big and poisonous. If you don't bring mosquito repellent water, why are you going to feed the mosquitoes?" Han Siming saw that the mosquito repellent water was really effective, so he didn't mind Ji Yong's jokes , followed by laughing.
Ji Yong said: "Since you have something important to do, I won't bother you. I have some fine wine here. If you like, you can drink it to pass the time." He is fond of wine and always carries some wine with him.
Han Siming said: "There is nothing important. It is just that I found a devil in the bookstore in front. I see that your cultivation is profound. If there is nothing important, can you stay and help us?" Ji Yong readily agreed.But the street was still very lively, and several people decided to have a supper first.
After the three of them had supper, there were fewer pedestrians on the street.Several people waited for a while, until the street lights were gradually extinguished, and the brilliance of the stars and the moon spread softly on the long street, and then stepped on the moonlight and sneaked into the bookstore quietly.
There is only a small window on the door to catch the moonlight in the store, and the books are safely placed on the shelves.The towering bookshelves cast a thick black shadow, which is very bluffing.There was silence all around, and Jiang Li asked, "Is your rock still shaking?" Han Siming touched the storage bag suspiciously, and said, "It's strange, it doesn't shake anymore. Could it be that the monster has already run away after sensing our presence?"
☆, Picking Fragrance City
The three of them had no lighting, and searched the store several times before finding a loose wooden board in the corner.Jiang Li moved the board away, revealing a dark hole in the ground.The three of them looked at each other, not knowing what was in the cave.
The three of them went down the wooden stairs to the cave in the dark.It was found that the air in this hole was circulated, and it was not very stuffy.You can't see your fingers in the hole, as if someone is staring at them in the darkness.Han Siming had never left the sect, so he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.He grabbed Jiang Li and said, "There is no movement from the Yishi Stone, could it be that the devil ran away early?" Jiang Li heard his voice trembling, and said, "Don't be afraid, let's see what's weird in the cellar first. "Han Siming asked: "Aren't you afraid?" Jiang Li was a child in a homeless life, how could he care about being afraid of the dark?He smiled and said, "What's there to be afraid of?"
There was silence in the darkness, and a few people were groping in the darkness, and when they occasionally said a word, it seemed extremely abrupt.Jiang Li groped for something, and said, "There's something here." Han Siming asked, "What is it?" Said: "It's a dead man."
Han Siming exclaimed and held back again.At this time, the light in the room was bright, and Han Siming looked towards the light source, and saw that it was Ji Yong who had lit a torch.But he didn't dare to look towards Jiang Li, for fear of seeing the dead man.
Jiang Li said: "Looks like he's been dead for a long time." Ji Yong went up to take a look, and saw that the man's muscles were almost rotten, and his clothes were still in good condition.He was sitting in front of a desk with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on it. The ink was still stained on the pen, and the nib was condensed into a bunch after it dried. He was obviously writing before he died.However, there was not a single piece of paper on the table, so maybe someone searched it away.
Huozhezi's radiance is limited, and if it is a little farther away, it will be completely black.Han Siming didn't dare to stay in the dark anymore, but he didn't dare to get too close to the corpse, so he could only follow Ji Yong and Jiang Li not too far away.
Han Siming said: "Let's go back first, tell the other classmates before we come together." Jiang Li said gently: "Don't be afraid, look, he's rotten and clean. He's not creepy at all." Han Siming wailed, Cover your eyes.
Jiang Li searched around in the cellar, stopped in front of a wall, and said, "There is a barrier here." Han Siming finally opened his eyes, carefully avoiding the corpse, and went to check.He put his hand on the wall, and the wall under his hand felt rough and hard, just like other walls.However fine
