Dressed as a Heartthrob Cat [Transmigration Book]
Chapter 49 Drunkenness
Lin Qi chatted with Xu Ruhai for a while, and then basically understood the situation at this time.
The Zongmen Grand Competition is coming soon, and now there are hundreds of Zongmen here to participate in the competition, but this year's format is different from the past. The disciples of each sect will form a small team, go to the Forest of Wuxu, kill demons, and finally win The total number of beheads in each group will be evaluated, and the top ten teams with total points will be directly promoted.
Forest of Wuxu... This place is close to the demon world, with abundant aura, lush vegetation, and far away from the city with sparsely populated areas, so there are often demon clans who sneak out of the demon world and wander around in the forest of Wuxu.
It is also reasonable, there are often low-level monsters in the forest of Wuxu, which happens to be suitable for young disciples to practice, and it is not too dangerous or even life-threatening.
The three of them walked all the way, and when they reached the halfway up the mountain, they ran into several monks who were very similar in size and appearance to Xu Ruhai, walking towards them, and the leader was even half a head taller than Xu Ruhai.
Lin Qi had just guessed in her heart whether these people belonged to the same sect as Xu Ruhai, when she saw Xu Ruhai laughing and stepped forward, shouting: "Senior brother!"
really.
It's really the same.
Xu Ruhai's senior brother is called Xu Rulin, who is older than Xu Ruhai and has a much calmer personality. This time, he is in charge of leading the team. He has just brought other disciples in the sect to practice martial arts. A round of competition.
After Xu Ruhai said goodbye to Lin Qi in a hurry, Lin Qi and Lin Ziqing continued along the road. Not far ahead was the martial arts arena. In the evening, there were not many monks on the martial arts arena.
Lin Qi took off the long sword she was carrying behind her back, and gently pulled it out. This long sword hadn't been used for a long time, and when it was pulled out, it was still sharp and cold.
Lin Ziqing also pulled out his sword, and made an exact strike.
The two practiced one move at a time, the setting sun slowly sinking, the residual light reflected on the cheeks of the two, and the brilliance danced in the pupils.
It seems that it has been a long time since they calmed down and practiced martial arts together.
When they were young, the teacher's teaching voice seemed to ring in their ears, and the two gradually became intoxicated by the sword intent. The graceful sword moves were so sharp that they seemed to be able to break the air.
Cross-cutting, oblique stabbing, upward pick...
From the starting pose to the end of all the nineteen moves, the two of them were completely immersed in the sword intent. It was not until the sword was sheathed that Lin Qi let out a light breath and wiped the sweat that oozed from her forehead with her hand. Sweat, showing a satisfied smile.
He was originally worried that he would not remember the sword technique, but when he picked up the sword, he suddenly raised his hand involuntarily, and the smooth sword intent flowed from his hand very easily like a stream of water. been drilled with precision.
... The original owner obviously hasn't practiced swordsmanship for a long time.
Lin Qi felt a little puzzled, could it be that these sword moves were so deeply engraved in the body, even after the body changed its owner, it could still be repeated exactly?
It seems that the original owner wasn't just fishing for fish. If he hadn't practiced diligently, his body would never remember the exercises he mastered in his childhood so clearly.
Lin Qi was a little puzzled, but more of a sigh of relief.
It's easy to say that he still retains his original strength. After he fully grasps the aura contained in Yaoyuguo, he will be more able to protect himself against all kinds of blackening attacks.
Lin Ziqing immediately came forward, interrupting Lin Qi's thoughts.
"Senior brother is still the same as before." He smiled briskly, comfortably pulled out a beautiful sword flower, and then put the sword back into its sheath.
"Exactly."
It was also rare for Lin Qi to relax, and he and his junior hadn't talked so easily for a long time.
The memory of practicing swordsmanship together when he was young seemed to be a personal experience, which actually made him feel nostalgic.
Lin Qi sighed involuntarily, "Yeah, it would be great if my junior brother could be like before."
Lin Ziqing snorted and laughed, "If senior brother hadn't lied to me, he wouldn't be in this situation now, and still need me to keep an eye on him."
He didn't want to take this step at first, as long as he could keep watching his senior brother and see his life go smoothly, even if he went down the mountain for his senior brother again and again, searched every corner, and broke through dangerous situations, he would not hesitate.
It's just that he didn't expect that the senior brother would be entangled with the demon leader and the demon clan, and even promised to be the queen of some demon, but he didn't want to take a second look at himself.
He even kept deceiving himself, covering up the blood of the monster race on his body, and making up one lie after another.
Lin Qi snorted softly, but finally couldn't think of any words of defense.
He was at fault in this matter.
It's just that on him, it's nothing to tie a rope with spiritual power. Does he have to be known no matter where he goes in the future?Even the spiritual power on his body can't be mobilized at will.
"But you can't control my spiritual power casually, you..." Lin Qi bit her lip lightly, running the spiritual power on her body, and after feeling the warming of her wrist, she folded up her sleeves, revealing the bright red spiritual power on her wrist. As expected, the belt emerged from the skin.
Immediately, the wristband was slowly tightened, the spiritual power was blocked from the meridians, and the flow quickly slowed down, and the confinement was not relaxed until only a small amount of spiritual energy was left in the meridians to maintain the basic operation.
Lin Qi handed her wrist in front of Lin Ziqing, with slight anger in her eyes, she pointed to the bright red mark on her wrist with her left hand and said, "Look! My spiritual power will be hindered as soon as I use it, how can I participate in the training."
A white wrist suddenly appeared in front of Lin Ziqing's eyes. The red wristband looked extremely eye-catching on the fair skin. He couldn't help but gently raised his hand to hold Lin Qi's wrist, and stretched his wrist completely with his fingers. Surrounded, and then involuntarily rubbed the soft and delicate skin.
"You!" Lin Qi was suddenly grabbed by the wrist, and he couldn't help shrinking a little due to the slightly hot touch, but then he was held tightly again, and then he felt the fingers with calloused swords brushing past, leaving a rough And fiery touch.
His face suddenly turned red.
"Lin Ziqing!"
Lin Qi tried hard to break free, but was pulled into his arms by Lin Ziqing, and his wrists were locked even tighter. He could even feel the breathing of his junior brother behind him on the back of his neck, and his neck instantly turned red.
"You let me go!"
"I will untie it at that time. Brother, if you have to endure it for a few more days, it won't have any effect now anyway." Lin Ziqing hugged Lin Qi in his arms, smiled contentedly, and even agreed without hesitation that the previous It took a lot of trouble to remove the wristband that bound the senior's wrist.
It was late at night, and there were very few people still in the martial arts arena at this time. Under the moonlight, the shadows cast by the two overlapped together. Lin Ziqing's left arm half embraced Lin Qi. From a distance, it looked like Lin Ziqing Teaching Lin Qi swordsmanship by hand.
Lin Qi struggled to get free, but in desperation, she had no choice but to retreat, trying to free her imprisoned right wrist first, but Lin Ziqing held her tighter.
"Lin Ziqing, it's midnight, don't you go back to rest?" He couldn't bear it and said.
"Rest, being with senior brother means resting. Why don't senior brothers go back to rest with me?" Lin Ziqing replied with a smile.
I didn’t find a chance to answer my senior brother all the way here. Now my senior brother can only see me, and finally I belong to me alone.
……
The two chattered, and Lin Qi struggled several times to no avail, so she had to let him go. Fortunately, there were not many people staying in the martial arts arena at night, and no one else noticed.
It would be better to be seen by someone...
Lin Qi thought with some resentment, it would be better if she cultivated better than Lin Ziqing, so that he could let me go, and it would be even better if he could help me untie the wristband.
It's just that I'm not familiar with this place, so I'm afraid I can't find it.
Li Di and Long Yu can help, but he still doesn't want to be discovered by them, and the attitude of the master before is not quite right, the only one who can help him is Gu Xuerong.
But in fact, it was only two days of acquaintance, and as the young master, he was entangled in important matters, how could he appear here...
Hey?
Lin Qi raised her head, and suddenly found that the person who could not appear here was walking from a distance, until he was in front of him.
Gu Xuerong was still dressed in white, which looked extremely clean under the moonlight. The silver thread embroidered on the bottom of the clothes shimmered, and his most famous sword—Wugou was hanging from his waist.
"Xianjun?" Lin Qi asked in surprise, Lin Ziqing reluctantly let go of her arms, stood upright beside Lin Qi, and said hello.
Gu Xuerong's voice was low, and she hummed lightly, taking a full view of Lin Qi and Lin Ziqing's expressions, chuckled inexplicably, and said, "The moon is shining beautifully tonight, are you two also here to admire the moon?"
Lin Qi couldn't help laughing, and turned her head to see that Lin Ziqing's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
With Gu Xuerong around, he didn't dare to mess around.
"Yeah, Xianjun is very interested." Lin Qi responded with a smile on purpose, and Lin Ziqing next to her was indeed more angry, but she had to hold it in her heart.Lin Qi's wrist was held tightly by him, and it became tighter and tighter, even a little painful.
"The top of Qingchi is on the top of the mountain, and the moonlight can be seen at a glance. Do you want to come and see it?" Gu Xuerong folded her hands behind her back, her eyes fell on the full moon on the treetops, and she seemed to be sending an invitation casually, but she looked at Lin Qi one asked.
"Is it ok? The top of Qingchi should be the place where immortals cultivate themselves?"
Lin Qi was a little surprised. Gu Xuerong's appearance in the martial arts arena was beyond his expectation, and he even helped him out of the siege, and now he took the initiative to invite himself to Qingchiding, as if he knew his predicament and came here to help It's like making a rescue by yourself.
Gu Xuerong laughed and said, "Why not, it's just a pool of water."
"Okay, thank you Xianjun for your invitation. I have heard the beautiful scenery of the top of the clear pond for a long time, and I can finally see it tonight. Then I would be more respectful than obedient."
Lin Qi took advantage of the situation and broke free from the wrist tightly held by Lin Ziqing, and responded cheerfully.
Lin Ziqing stood aside, his complexion getting worse and worse. Seeing that his senior brother was about to be abducted by Gu Xuerong, he could not beat him, and he had no advantage in his territory. Even his senior brother happily prepared immediately He wanted to go, but he could only clenched the sword in his hand, but he was powerless to stop it.
Lin Qi briskly walked forward a few steps, then remembered Lin Ziqing who was behind her, turned her head and said with a smile: "Junior Brother, go back and rest first, I will go back as soon as I go."
After Lin Ziqing gritted his teeth and squeezed out the word "senior brother", Lin Qi had already walked away with Gu Xuerong, leaving only Lin Ziqing standing in place, stunned for a moment before dropping the sword in his hand resentfully.
Gu Xuerong's eyes did not completely fall on Lin Ziqing, but she seemed to have seen the relationship between the two of them clearly, and asked understandingly: "There is a small misunderstanding between you and the younger brother? Do you need my help?" ?”
Lin Qi shook her head subconsciously, but stopped suddenly. If... With Gu Xuerong's cultivation, it should be able to help him untie the restraint on his wrist.
only……
Lin Qi hesitated for a moment, and felt that the relationship between the two was not close enough to help, so she shook her head lightly, "It's okay, it's just some minor troubles, don't bother Xianjun to intervene."
"Okay," Gu Xuerong chuckled, seeming to see through what Lin Qi was thinking, but in the end he just said: "When you can't solve it, you can come to me."
Lin Qi nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Why did Xianjun suddenly want to go to the martial arts arena?"
It stands to reason... As the young master of a sect, he should be practicing at Qingchi Peak, or is he busy with the sect's affairs?Even if you want to watch the moon, you probably wouldn't go to the Martial Arts Field halfway up the mountain. The scenery there can't be compared with Qingchi Peak at all.
Gu Xuerong pondered for a moment, but didn't say anything immediately, with an unfinished expression, as if she was recalling something.
On the quiet mountain road, only the rustling footsteps of two people could be heard. One of them was deeply cultivated, with almost no footsteps and even rhythm.
After a while, Gu Xuerong chuckled lightly, spoke lightly, and changed the topic: "How about a drink with such a moonlight later?"
Lin Qi was still thinking about the reason why Gu Xuerong came to the martial arts arena, and was suddenly invited to have a drink together, her thoughts suddenly stopped, and she turned her head to look at Gu Xuerong beside her, with an extremely surprised expression subconsciously showing on her face.
"how?"
Gu Xuerong asked softly, as if she was afraid of piercing the watery moonlight at this time.
Lin Qi shook her head, weighing things up with some confusion.
But anyway, Gu Xuerong has a higher level of cultivation than himself, if he really wants to do something, he has no strength to resist at all.So Gu Xuerong probably simply wanted to treat herself to a drink...
"it is good."
After thinking clearly, Lin Qi nodded, her voice was still clear as a young man: "Then thank you Xianjun for your hospitality."
……
The mountain road was not long, and the two of them walked very quickly. After a quarter of an hour, they reached the top of Qingchi.
Lin Qi's eyes fell on the clear pool located on the top of the mountain, and she couldn't help but exclaimed.
It's really uncanny workmanship!
The top of the mountain is very flat and wide, and in the middle is a pool of extremely clear water, the water surface is as quiet as a silver mirror, and the bright full moon is reflected on the surface of the pool, casting sparkling silver light.There is even a thin mist steaming on the surface of the pool, making it even more cloudy and misty, like a fairyland.
Even a pair of stone tables and chairs by the pool are natural, simple and interesting.
Lin Qi walked forward involuntarily, approaching the edge of the pool, only then did he feel the steaming air.
It turned out that the whole pool of water was filled with a bone-chilling chill.
"Be careful." Gu Xuerong walked to Lin Qi's side, stopped in front of him very naturally, and grabbed his right hand.
He stared at the surface of the water and said with a smile: "There is too much spiritual energy here, the water is extremely cold, and it is very easy to catch the cold if you enter the water rashly."
Only then did Lin Qi realize that her whole body was completely cold, only the right hand that was being held was continuously emitting heat.
He suddenly raised his vigilance, the pool of water seemed to be so breathtaking that he couldn't help approaching it when he was unconscious, and couldn't help but want to drown in it.
"I often practice here to resist the cold air in the pool."
As if Gu Xuerong didn't notice the sudden change in Lin Qi's face, she continued to explain unhurriedly: "The aura helps to break through the innate barriers, but when the cultivation level is not enough, it can't bear it, and it is easy to overflow."
He led Lin Qi to sit on the stone bench by the pool very naturally, and there was still a jar of unopened wine on the stone table.
After Lin Qi sat down, she slowly recovered from the cold state of her body just now. The area around the stone table seemed to have suddenly returned from cold winter to warm spring.
He exhaled lightly and looked in front of him.
It happened that there were only two stone benches facing each other beside the stone table. Besides the jar of wine, there were also two wine cups prepared on the table, and they were placed in front of him and Gu Xuerong respectively.
...Have you prepared so well in advance?
Or is it that Gu Xuerong didn't run into her by chance, but deliberately wanted to bring her here?
Lin Qi felt as if she had touched the truth, but before she could figure it out, she was interrupted by Gu Xuerong.
He smiled and said: "I used to have thoughts, so I sat by the pool alone and drank wine in front of the moonlight. After drinking a pot of wine, no matter how many thoughts I had, all my thoughts dissipated, and I could have a good night's sleep."
"This altar of wine is specially prepared by me. It is stuffed with sweet-scented osmanthus. It is not strong. It is suitable for drinking with the moonlight."
After finishing speaking, he gently opened the wine seal, poured the clear liquid into the wine cup, and gently pushed it in front of Lin Qi.
Lin Qi held up the wine cup with both hands.
It is indeed a good sweet-scented osmanthus brew, fragrant and rich in aroma.
Gu Xuerong took advantage of the opportunity to fill a cup for herself, gently shook the cup with her right hand, faced the moonlight, sighed softly, smiled again after a while, raised her head and drank it down very simply, His eyes were narrowed slightly, with a bewildered look on his face.Then put it back on the table, holding the golden wine glass with slender white finger rings, without letting go.
Lin Qi stared at Gu Xuerong intently, and saw very clearly that his usually indifferent eyes were slightly narrowed, with a blurred and intoxicated look on his face, and he opened his eyes after a while, and his eyes were full of satisfaction. and cozy.
After drinking, Gu Xuerong's usually cold and white face was slightly reddish, just like the ice and snow quietly melting in spring, even the coldness in his voice dissipated, becoming soft and kind.
He smiled and said: "It's very pleasant to drink such a moonlight with fine wine. Once drunk, you can relieve your worries, and the ancients will never deceive me."
Lin Qi saw that he was just a little drunk after drinking a glass, so she raised the wine glass in front of her to her mouth, took a sip, and felt the aroma of the wine was very mellow.
What a good wine.
He couldn't help but took another sip, his mouth was fragrant, the wine slowly flowed down his throat, his whole body warmed up, and he felt extremely comfortable physically and mentally.
In just a few sips, Lin Qi drank up the whole glass of wine.
Gu Xuerong seemed to be looking at the moonlight, with emotion in his eyes, but actually quietly observed Lin Qi's every move. Seeing him drink a full glass of wine, he showed a successful smile.
After drinking a glass of wine, Lin Qi felt drunk, and his cheeks were stained with powder. He couldn't help but muttered: "It's delicious... This wine is really delicious..."
The volume gradually decreased, her articulateness became slurred, her fingers gradually became weak, the wine glass gradually slipped from her hand, and fell on the stone table with a clang. Lin Qi also felt that her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, until finally she couldn't hold on anymore, and suddenly fell down. Falling down, fell into a coma, with a mellow aroma of wine in his breath.
Seeing Lin Qi falling asleep, Gu Xuerong beckoned, and a middle-aged man who looked a little like Gu Xuerong, but was obviously much older, came from a distance.
"Uncle, I brought Lin Qi."
"Is this the person God's will directed us to look for?" The elder came from under the moon with his hands behind his back, and the wind and frost of the years had left marks on his face.He seems to be a very serious person, with uneven marks left on his brows due to frequent frowning.
He approached slowly, looked at Lin Qi who was lying on the stone table, and after a moment of silence, he raised his hand to raise Lin Qi's head, looking at this young face.
It is indeed a flawless face, even if you unconsciously fell asleep, you can see the clever expression between the eyebrows and eyes, it should be the perfect person that Tiandao likes most.
He let go of his hand and let Lin Qi slide down again, but he didn't expect Gu Xuerong to gently support her, letting Lin Qi lean into his arms in a more comfortable posture.
The elder seemed not expecting him to do this, he frowned, stretched it out after a while, pretended to be kind and smiled and patted Gu Xuerong's shoulder, "Xuerong has worked hard these days, I found God's blessing People, things are much easier to handle. The Dao that Xue Rong has been pursuing for so many years has finally been realized."
After receiving the praise, Gu Xuerong did not show a happy expression, but frowned slightly, and said hesitantly: "Uncle...do we have to do this?"
"Xue Rong, we monks have been practicing hard all our lives. What are we seeking? Isn't it the vast way of heaven? There is a lack of way of heaven. As the person who is closest to the way of heaven in this world, you should feel the deepest! Now the completion of the way of heaven is right in front of you. , the way of ascension is about to unfold under your feet, how can you shrink back?"
The elder stared at Gu Xuerong with a frown, and his tone was full of hatred.
After finishing speaking, his tone suddenly softened again, "You have been working hard all these years. The heavens are flawed, the world is not peaceful, and evil spirits are rampant. As the head of the sect, our Sword Sect bears a lot of pressure. Especially Xue You, Rong, have been running around the mountain to slay demons for so many years, and as an uncle, I have seen all of them, and my heart aches very much."
"If we can complete the Dao of Heaven, we can not only curb the evil spirits, but also give the people a peaceful life, and reopen the way of ascension. Temporary sacrifices are inevitable."
"Xue Rong, sometimes you are too soft-hearted."
Gu Xuerong lowered her head slightly, as if listening obediently, but she smiled in her heart,
He still doesn't know what his uncle is thinking.His lifespan is exhausted, if he can't ascend again, he will die in the Nascent Soul stage and return to reincarnation.The one who has been eager to find the way to ascend is actually himself.
Gu Xuerong's eyes accidentally fell on Lin Qi's peaceful sleeping face, quietly looking at this pure and peaceful face, thinking slowly.
He still doesn't know what he is going to face next, what a pity, such a young life is doomed to perish.If such a beautiful face showed a panicked expression, it might arouse his pity.
The matter has come to this point, even if he sighs again, he has to do so.
At most, it is to make up for Lin Qi more, to satisfy his wish during his lifetime, and to make him feel a little more at ease.
Gu Xuerong thought.
The Zongmen Grand Competition is coming soon, and now there are hundreds of Zongmen here to participate in the competition, but this year's format is different from the past. The disciples of each sect will form a small team, go to the Forest of Wuxu, kill demons, and finally win The total number of beheads in each group will be evaluated, and the top ten teams with total points will be directly promoted.
Forest of Wuxu... This place is close to the demon world, with abundant aura, lush vegetation, and far away from the city with sparsely populated areas, so there are often demon clans who sneak out of the demon world and wander around in the forest of Wuxu.
It is also reasonable, there are often low-level monsters in the forest of Wuxu, which happens to be suitable for young disciples to practice, and it is not too dangerous or even life-threatening.
The three of them walked all the way, and when they reached the halfway up the mountain, they ran into several monks who were very similar in size and appearance to Xu Ruhai, walking towards them, and the leader was even half a head taller than Xu Ruhai.
Lin Qi had just guessed in her heart whether these people belonged to the same sect as Xu Ruhai, when she saw Xu Ruhai laughing and stepped forward, shouting: "Senior brother!"

It's really the same.
Xu Ruhai's senior brother is called Xu Rulin, who is older than Xu Ruhai and has a much calmer personality. This time, he is in charge of leading the team. He has just brought other disciples in the sect to practice martial arts. A round of competition.
After Xu Ruhai said goodbye to Lin Qi in a hurry, Lin Qi and Lin Ziqing continued along the road. Not far ahead was the martial arts arena. In the evening, there were not many monks on the martial arts arena.

Lin Qi snorted softly, but finally couldn't think of any words of defense.

Gu Xuerong's voice was low, and she hummed lightly, taking a full view of Lin Qi and Lin Ziqing's expressions, chuckled inexplicably, and said, "The moon is shining beautifully tonight, are you two also here to admire the moon?"
Lin Qi couldn't help laughing, and turned her head to see that Lin Ziqing's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
With Gu Xuerong around, he didn't dare to mess around.
"Yeah, Xianjun is very interested." Lin Qi responded with a smile on purpose, and Lin Ziqing next to her was indeed more angry, but she had to hold it in her heart.Lin Qi's wrist was held tightly by him, and it became tighter and tighter, even a little painful.
"The top of Qingchi is on the top of the mountain, and the moonlight can be seen at a glance. Do you want to come and see it?" Gu Xuerong folded her hands behind her back, her eyes fell on the full moon on the treetops, and she seemed to be sending an invitation casually, but she looked at Lin Qi one asked.
"Is it ok? The top of Qingchi should be the place where immortals cultivate themselves?"
Lin Qi was a little surprised. Gu Xuerong's appearance in the martial arts arena was beyond his expectation, and he even helped him out of the siege, and now he took the initiative to invite himself to Qingchiding, as if he knew his predicament and came here to help It's like making a rescue by yourself.
Gu Xuerong laughed and said, "Why not, it's just a pool of water."
"Okay, thank you Xianjun for your invitation. I have heard the beautiful scenery of the top of the clear pond for a long time, and I can finally see it tonight. Then I would be more respectful than obedient."
Lin Qi took advantage of the situation and broke free from the wrist tightly held by Lin Ziqing, and responded cheerfully.
Lin Ziqing stood aside, his complexion getting worse and worse. Seeing that his senior brother was about to be abducted by Gu Xuerong, he could not beat him, and he had no advantage in his territory. Even his senior brother happily prepared immediately He wanted to go, but he could only clenched the sword in his hand, but he was powerless to stop it.
Lin Qi briskly walked forward a few steps, then remembered Lin Ziqing who was behind her, turned her head and said with a smile: "Junior Brother, go back and rest first, I will go back as soon as I go."
After Lin Ziqing gritted his teeth and squeezed out the word "senior brother", Lin Qi had already walked away with Gu Xuerong, leaving only Lin Ziqing standing in place, stunned for a moment before dropping the sword in his hand resentfully.
Gu Xuerong's eyes did not completely fall on Lin Ziqing, but she seemed to have seen the relationship between the two of them clearly, and asked understandingly: "There is a small misunderstanding between you and the younger brother? Do you need my help?" ?”
Lin Qi shook her head subconsciously, but stopped suddenly. If... With Gu Xuerong's cultivation, it should be able to help him untie the restraint on his wrist.
only……
Lin Qi hesitated for a moment, and felt that the relationship between the two was not close enough to help, so she shook her head lightly, "It's okay, it's just some minor troubles, don't bother Xianjun to intervene."
"Okay," Gu Xuerong chuckled, seeming to see through what Lin Qi was thinking, but in the end he just said: "When you can't solve it, you can come to me."
Lin Qi nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Why did Xianjun suddenly want to go to the martial arts arena?"
It stands to reason... As the young master of a sect, he should be practicing at Qingchi Peak, or is he busy with the sect's affairs?Even if you want to watch the moon, you probably wouldn't go to the Martial Arts Field halfway up the mountain. The scenery there can't be compared with Qingchi Peak at all.
Gu Xuerong pondered for a moment, but didn't say anything immediately, with an unfinished expression, as if she was recalling something.
On the quiet mountain road, only the rustling footsteps of two people could be heard. One of them was deeply cultivated, with almost no footsteps and even rhythm.
After a while, Gu Xuerong chuckled lightly, spoke lightly, and changed the topic: "How about a drink with such a moonlight later?"
Lin Qi was still thinking about the reason why Gu Xuerong came to the martial arts arena, and was suddenly invited to have a drink together, her thoughts suddenly stopped, and she turned her head to look at Gu Xuerong beside her, with an extremely surprised expression subconsciously showing on her face.
"how?"
Gu Xuerong asked softly, as if she was afraid of piercing the watery moonlight at this time.
Lin Qi shook her head, weighing things up with some confusion.
But anyway, Gu Xuerong has a higher level of cultivation than himself, if he really wants to do something, he has no strength to resist at all.So Gu Xuerong probably simply wanted to treat herself to a drink...
"it is good."
After thinking clearly, Lin Qi nodded, her voice was still clear as a young man: "Then thank you Xianjun for your hospitality."
……
The mountain road was not long, and the two of them walked very quickly. After a quarter of an hour, they reached the top of Qingchi.
Lin Qi's eyes fell on the clear pool located on the top of the mountain, and she couldn't help but exclaimed.
It's really uncanny workmanship!
The top of the mountain is very flat and wide, and in the middle is a pool of extremely clear water, the water surface is as quiet as a silver mirror, and the bright full moon is reflected on the surface of the pool, casting sparkling silver light.There is even a thin mist steaming on the surface of the pool, making it even more cloudy and misty, like a fairyland.
Even a pair of stone tables and chairs by the pool are natural, simple and interesting.
Lin Qi walked forward involuntarily, approaching the edge of the pool, only then did he feel the steaming air.
It turned out that the whole pool of water was filled with a bone-chilling chill.
"Be careful." Gu Xuerong walked to Lin Qi's side, stopped in front of him very naturally, and grabbed his right hand.
He stared at the surface of the water and said with a smile: "There is too much spiritual energy here, the water is extremely cold, and it is very easy to catch the cold if you enter the water rashly."
Only then did Lin Qi realize that her whole body was completely cold, only the right hand that was being held was continuously emitting heat.
He suddenly raised his vigilance, the pool of water seemed to be so breathtaking that he couldn't help approaching it when he was unconscious, and couldn't help but want to drown in it.
"I often practice here to resist the cold air in the pool."
As if Gu Xuerong didn't notice the sudden change in Lin Qi's face, she continued to explain unhurriedly: "The aura helps to break through the innate barriers, but when the cultivation level is not enough, it can't bear it, and it is easy to overflow."
He led Lin Qi to sit on the stone bench by the pool very naturally, and there was still a jar of unopened wine on the stone table.
After Lin Qi sat down, she slowly recovered from the cold state of her body just now. The area around the stone table seemed to have suddenly returned from cold winter to warm spring.
He exhaled lightly and looked in front of him.
It happened that there were only two stone benches facing each other beside the stone table. Besides the jar of wine, there were also two wine cups prepared on the table, and they were placed in front of him and Gu Xuerong respectively.
...Have you prepared so well in advance?
Or is it that Gu Xuerong didn't run into her by chance, but deliberately wanted to bring her here?
Lin Qi felt as if she had touched the truth, but before she could figure it out, she was interrupted by Gu Xuerong.
He smiled and said: "I used to have thoughts, so I sat by the pool alone and drank wine in front of the moonlight. After drinking a pot of wine, no matter how many thoughts I had, all my thoughts dissipated, and I could have a good night's sleep."
"This altar of wine is specially prepared by me. It is stuffed with sweet-scented osmanthus. It is not strong. It is suitable for drinking with the moonlight."
After finishing speaking, he gently opened the wine seal, poured the clear liquid into the wine cup, and gently pushed it in front of Lin Qi.
Lin Qi held up the wine cup with both hands.
It is indeed a good sweet-scented osmanthus brew, fragrant and rich in aroma.
Gu Xuerong took advantage of the opportunity to fill a cup for herself, gently shook the cup with her right hand, faced the moonlight, sighed softly, smiled again after a while, raised her head and drank it down very simply, His eyes were narrowed slightly, with a bewildered look on his face.Then put it back on the table, holding the golden wine glass with slender white finger rings, without letting go.
Lin Qi stared at Gu Xuerong intently, and saw very clearly that his usually indifferent eyes were slightly narrowed, with a blurred and intoxicated look on his face, and he opened his eyes after a while, and his eyes were full of satisfaction. and cozy.
After drinking, Gu Xuerong's usually cold and white face was slightly reddish, just like the ice and snow quietly melting in spring, even the coldness in his voice dissipated, becoming soft and kind.
He smiled and said: "It's very pleasant to drink such a moonlight with fine wine. Once drunk, you can relieve your worries, and the ancients will never deceive me."
Lin Qi saw that he was just a little drunk after drinking a glass, so she raised the wine glass in front of her to her mouth, took a sip, and felt the aroma of the wine was very mellow.
What a good wine.
He couldn't help but took another sip, his mouth was fragrant, the wine slowly flowed down his throat, his whole body warmed up, and he felt extremely comfortable physically and mentally.
In just a few sips, Lin Qi drank up the whole glass of wine.
Gu Xuerong seemed to be looking at the moonlight, with emotion in his eyes, but actually quietly observed Lin Qi's every move. Seeing him drink a full glass of wine, he showed a successful smile.
After drinking a glass of wine, Lin Qi felt drunk, and his cheeks were stained with powder. He couldn't help but muttered: "It's delicious... This wine is really delicious..."
The volume gradually decreased, her articulateness became slurred, her fingers gradually became weak, the wine glass gradually slipped from her hand, and fell on the stone table with a clang. Lin Qi also felt that her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, until finally she couldn't hold on anymore, and suddenly fell down. Falling down, fell into a coma, with a mellow aroma of wine in his breath.
Seeing Lin Qi falling asleep, Gu Xuerong beckoned, and a middle-aged man who looked a little like Gu Xuerong, but was obviously much older, came from a distance.
"Uncle, I brought Lin Qi."
"Is this the person God's will directed us to look for?" The elder came from under the moon with his hands behind his back, and the wind and frost of the years had left marks on his face.He seems to be a very serious person, with uneven marks left on his brows due to frequent frowning.
He approached slowly, looked at Lin Qi who was lying on the stone table, and after a moment of silence, he raised his hand to raise Lin Qi's head, looking at this young face.
It is indeed a flawless face, even if you unconsciously fell asleep, you can see the clever expression between the eyebrows and eyes, it should be the perfect person that Tiandao likes most.
He let go of his hand and let Lin Qi slide down again, but he didn't expect Gu Xuerong to gently support her, letting Lin Qi lean into his arms in a more comfortable posture.
The elder seemed not expecting him to do this, he frowned, stretched it out after a while, pretended to be kind and smiled and patted Gu Xuerong's shoulder, "Xuerong has worked hard these days, I found God's blessing People, things are much easier to handle. The Dao that Xue Rong has been pursuing for so many years has finally been realized."
After receiving the praise, Gu Xuerong did not show a happy expression, but frowned slightly, and said hesitantly: "Uncle...do we have to do this?"
"Xue Rong, we monks have been practicing hard all our lives. What are we seeking? Isn't it the vast way of heaven? There is a lack of way of heaven. As the person who is closest to the way of heaven in this world, you should feel the deepest! Now the completion of the way of heaven is right in front of you. , the way of ascension is about to unfold under your feet, how can you shrink back?"
The elder stared at Gu Xuerong with a frown, and his tone was full of hatred.
After finishing speaking, his tone suddenly softened again, "You have been working hard all these years. The heavens are flawed, the world is not peaceful, and evil spirits are rampant. As the head of the sect, our Sword Sect bears a lot of pressure. Especially Xue You, Rong, have been running around the mountain to slay demons for so many years, and as an uncle, I have seen all of them, and my heart aches very much."
"If we can complete the Dao of Heaven, we can not only curb the evil spirits, but also give the people a peaceful life, and reopen the way of ascension. Temporary sacrifices are inevitable."
"Xue Rong, sometimes you are too soft-hearted."
Gu Xuerong lowered her head slightly, as if listening obediently, but she smiled in her heart,
He still doesn't know what his uncle is thinking.His lifespan is exhausted, if he can't ascend again, he will die in the Nascent Soul stage and return to reincarnation.The one who has been eager to find the way to ascend is actually himself.
Gu Xuerong's eyes accidentally fell on Lin Qi's peaceful sleeping face, quietly looking at this pure and peaceful face, thinking slowly.
He still doesn't know what he is going to face next, what a pity, such a young life is doomed to perish.If such a beautiful face showed a panicked expression, it might arouse his pity.
The matter has come to this point, even if he sighs again, he has to do so.
At most, it is to make up for Lin Qi more, to satisfy his wish during his lifetime, and to make him feel a little more at ease.
Gu Xuerong thought.
