The lord can't get along with this butterfly

In the end, Ji Xiao went to the bedroom with him for dinner.

Because the weather is cold now, the temperature of the spacious main hall is always lower than that of the bedrooms, so the places where we eat and drink are changed to the bedrooms.

Sitting at the table, Hua Zhuo recalled the scene just now, feeling a little uninspired, sending chopsticks to her mouth one after another, looking unhappy.

After thinking about it for a while, Hua Zhuo didn't know whether he had forgotten Ji Xiaoshi's habit of keeping silent or something, and suddenly said: "Why did you mention that sentence just now? You said that I cheated, and that my life would be worse than death?"

Ji Xiao took a bite with his chopsticks, and continued to eat as if he didn't hear anything.

"I clearly said that I was forced, did you not believe me?" Hua Zhuo was slightly annoyed.

Ji Xiao's eyebrows twitched, unmoved.

"Or, do you think that even if you are forced, you can count as a wall?" Hua Zhuo is very persistent about this question, and she does not hesitate to guess, "As long as the body is dirty or unclean, it will be counted as a wall?"

Ji Xiao "..."

"Then if I really cheated, how do you plan to make my life worse than death?" Hua Jue couldn't help thinking wildly, seeing that Ji Xiao still didn't answer, suddenly blessed to the heart, and panicked, "Could it be like that just now?" ? Keep me...until I die?"

Ji Xiao froze suddenly, and looked at him strangely.

Hua Zhu was shocked, "Then, if I didn't explain it just now, wouldn't I want to, want to do something... people die?"

"Shut up!" Ji Xiao finally couldn't bear it anymore, and slammed the bowl and chopsticks on the table.

Hua Zhuo was taken aback, and looked at him with aggrieved eyes.

Ji Xiao rubbed the center of his brows with a headache, and said irritably: "What are you thinking about all day long?! You are in Wanqing Mountain Villa. I don't know what's going on every day and what's different?! Are you serious? Do you think that I will be deceived by you because of what I did just now? Do you think I am stupid?"

Hua Zhuo looked surprised, "You...you didn't believe me just now?"

Ji Xiao stared at him indifferently.

"Then, then you know that I didn't...you still treat me like that?" Hua Zhuo stammered.

Ji Xiao sneered, "What? Don't you still find it exciting?"

Hua Zhuo was speechless.

That's why he knew from the very beginning that he was acting to deceive him, no matter what he said or did, he was just teaching himself...

This is too much!

Hua Zhuo's heart was wounded, and she dared not speak out.

Ji Xiao glanced at his expression, saw that he was being honest, and said, "Originally, I didn't plan to worry about this matter, but since you insisted on bringing it up, I have to remind you again - in the future, you are not allowed to use anything related to fame and festivals." Just kidding, if there is another time, I will be really rude to you, do you understand?"

Hua Zhuo's eyes changed slightly when he heard the words, and he thought about it for a while, and tentatively said: "If you say that, are you being polite just now? Then, what is it like to be so impolite?"

Ji Xiao's temples were throbbing, he looked at him angrily, and said angrily, "Why do you ask this? Do you really want to have a next time?!"

Hua Zhuo looked at him innocently, and resentfully said: "No..."

Just curious.

Ji Xiao was so angry with him that he didn't want to talk anymore, so he got up and said indifferently: "I still have business to do, you can just stay by yourself."

Hua Zhuo blinked, said "Oh", and watched him go out.

In a few days, it was New Year's Eve, and the sixteen knights had been secretly taken into Wanqing Villa.

Huazhuo was called up by Erfu early in the morning, saying that he was going to wake up early to worship the ancestors with the owner of the village.But Ji Xiao still didn't stop practicing martial arts that day, and he returned to the front hall with him after finishing his sword practice.

In the front hall, the tablets of the ancestors of the Ji family have been invited from the ancestral hall. Three sticks of incense are burning in the incense burner, and the table is full of big fish and meat and pepper wine.According to the order of seniority and inferiority, Ji Hong prostrated first, and prayed loudly for the ancestors to bless Yun Yun, and then the two juniors Ji Xiao and Hua Zhuo came to prostrate.

After the ancestor worship was over, it was rare for Ji Hong not to leave the two of them chatting, but instead asked Ji Xiao to take a drink of flowers to the temple fair in the city.

The Spring Festival in Qiujiang City is very lively every year. Every family puts up Spring Festival couplets, the streets and alleys are decorated with lights, and rows of red lanterns are hung across the city.The streets were full of people, the crackling of firecrackers could be heard endlessly, and the troupe of performing spring passed by in great momentum, and the whole city of Qiujiang was filled with joy and celebration.

People have the custom of wearing Tsing Yi during Chinese New Year since ancient times, which symbolizes the beginning of all things and the return of spring to the earth.As a matter of course, Hua Zhuo was dressed in blue, with an emerald green cloak on his outside, and the jade pendant with chi pattern on his waist swayed with his steps.Infected by the festive atmosphere, there was a smile in his eyes, and at first glance, he could really be called golden and jade.

The temple fair during the Spring Festival was much more lively than the previous one in the town, with crowds of people coming and going.

Almost everyone in Qiujiang City recognizes Ji Xiao, and Hua Zhuo has attracted a lot of attention following him on the road. If you pass by a stall, you may be stuffed with a bag of pancakes, a bag of chestnut cakes, and so on. The shadow guard had to be responsible for forcibly stuffing broken silver into the hands of the stall owner, and then ran away after stuffing, which was very hard.

Ji Xiao seemed to have expected this situation a long time ago, and went directly to the lake with Hua Zhuo.

But during the Spring Festival, even the lakeside is very lively. Some people set up a field for cockfighting under the banyan tree. If you win a game, you can get five taels of silver. Many people are watching.

Hua Zhuo excitedly wanted to go up to watch the fun, but was pulled back by Ji Xiao.

"Go up there and have a look." Ji Xiao said.

What he was referring to was a painting boat on the shore of the lake. It was three stories high, the top was open to the air, the hull was vermilion, the cornices were extraordinarily beautiful, and all kinds of lanterns hung high. It must be unimaginable at night. Ambilight.

The first floor of the painting boat is open for people to drink tea and rest their feet to enjoy the lake view, while Ji Xiao took him straight up to the third floor.The third floor is obviously only accessible after a reservation. In the center, there is a luthier playing the piano on the stage. The sound of the piano is melodious and melodious, which is much quieter than the first floor.

Ji Xiao’s predetermined location is right by the window. The window sill of the painting boat is made very low and protrudes outward in an arc shape. Take a closer look.

Hua Zhuo couldn't help sighing: "This location is too good..."

After watching the cockfight with great interest, Hua Jue suddenly had an idea, "Ji Xiao, shall we go to the casino tomorrow?"

Ji Xiao frowned slightly, "You are not allowed to go to any place that is not decent."

Hua Zhuo curled her lips, knowing that he would not agree, so she pinched a piece of chestnut cake and ate it.

Ji Xiao pondered for a moment, then said: "...Also, I'm going to leave tomorrow to go to Kuanzhou, I'm afraid I won't have time to accompany you."

Hua Zhuo was taken aback, obviously unable to accept it, "Tomorrow?"

Ji Xiao nodded, his eyes were not too turbulent, and said: "I received a secret letter yesterday, and there was another movement in the Demon Sect two days ago, so it was a temporary decision, and I will leave after New Year's Eve."

Hua Zhuo's good mood immediately dissipated, and he said sullenly, "You go alone?"

Ji Xiao said: "There are still those sixteen people and the shadow guards."

Huazhuo's heart was filled with astringency, and she looked at him quietly, "What about me?"

Ji Xiao frowned and said, "You can't go. Kuanzhou is far away, and the journey will take at least a month. How can your body bear it? What's more, there may be a demon sect lurking there. When the two sides clash, It would be dangerous."

Hua Zhuo was dissatisfied immediately, and said aggrievedly: "So you plan to leave me here alone and tell me to guard the vacant room alone? Kuanzhou is dangerous, so here is safe? The national teacher can come and go freely in my room, you Aren't you afraid that one day he will be in a bad mood and arrest me to make soup?"

Ji Xiao was speechless for a moment, and before he could speak, someone came up from the stairs leisurely behind him, and said in a cold and gloomy voice, "I'd like to see what kind of ignorant person it is." Into this seat's pot?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Hua Zhuo was really taken aback, he never expected to meet the national teacher here, and subconsciously hid behind Ji Xiao.

Ji Xiao got up to protect the person, looking at the person with cold eyes.

Bai Yi was dressed in a white robe with a faint fairy air, his complexion was ruddy, he was not as pale as before, and he was even better looking than before. He walked over slowly with an unfriendly expression, and glared angrily at Hua Ju, who only showed his head, "Dare to speak ill of me behind my back?"

"No..." Hua Zhuo's tone was obviously lacking in confidence, with an innocent face, he held Ji Xiao's arm tightly and did not let go.

"Nothing, I can hear you clearly!" Bai Yi looked displeased, and when he was about to step forward to beat someone, Ji Xiao grabbed the hilt of his sword intending to draw it.

At this moment, the stairs behind him thumped, and suddenly someone grabbed Bai Yi's wrist and pulled him back.

It was Han Zhou who came. He first pulled Bai Yi to his side, reproached him in a low voice, and then turned his head to look at him.Seeing that it was Hua Zhuo, Han Zhou was a little surprised, then looked at the people around him, opened his mouth but did not dare to call out Hua Zhuo's real name, and only said: "...is it you?"

Seeing that the national teacher was restrained, Hua Zhuo dared to move out from behind Ji Xiao, touched his nose, and said hello in a timid way, "...What a coincidence, Han Zhou."

By accident, he ran into the national teacher here, and Hua Zhuo had no other choice, so he had to go to Jiangxue Tower with Ji Xiao.

Han Zhou heated up a pot of tea with his power, poured it into several white jade teacups in front of him, and handed it to Hua Zhuo and Ji Xiao respectively.Then he picked up another one and gave it to Bai Yi who was leaning on the soft bed.

"Thank you." Ji Xiao took the teacup and said calmly.

Seeing that he already knew how to heat tea with mana, Hua Zhuo looked enviously and asked, "Have you recovered your mana?"

Han Zhou smiled and said, "It's not fully recovered, but it's almost there."

Hua Zhuo said "oh".

Just now on the road, they had a brief chat, and since Ji Xiao knew everything now, they didn't avoid him anymore.

According to Han Zhou, ever since he left Wanqing Villa that day, he has been living in Jiangxuelou with Bai Yi. With Bai Yi's help, his mana has recovered nearly [-]%, and he has been living happily during this period of time. very good.A few days ago, he reserved a spot on that painting boat, and wanted to take Bai Yi out to catch the New Year's excitement, but he didn't expect to meet the two of them by such a coincidence.

Hua Zhuo took a sip of tea silently, feeling that the atmosphere between Han Zhou and the national teacher was weird, and couldn't bear curiosity, so she asked Han Zhou in a low voice, "Are you and the national teacher...together?"

Bai Yi's hearing was so sensitive, he coughed in a timely manner, and stared at him warningly.

Han Zhou didn't answer, just smiled without saying a word.

Hua Zhuo suddenly understood, and felt unbelievable, "So fast? You guys, could it be that..."

Bai Yi looked at him with more and more dangerous eyes, Han Zhou continued to smile and remained silent.

Relying on someone protecting her, Hua Zhuo whispered recklessly, "...Which one of you is going up and who's going down?"

Bai Yi slapped the table angrily, Hua Zhuo immediately shrank behind Ji Xiao vigilantly, cowardly and aggrieved.

It's no wonder that the national teacher beats up people when they meet.

There was no way to continue the gossip, so Hua Zhuo could only change the subject angrily, and asked about the business, "...What happened to what I saw upstairs that day?"

Bai Yi glanced at him in disgust, leaned on the soft bed, and said coldly: "As you can see, I am indeed concocting blood, but... what I am concocting is not other people's blood, but my own. .”

Hua Zhuo was a little surprised, "Why?"

"It's for me." Han Zhou suppressed his smile, poured himself a cup of tea, and said slowly, "I was seriously injured back then, so I was already dead. But Xiao Yi refused to give up and took my body to the cave , spit out the inner alchemy to protect my body from corruption, and nourished it with the blood of the beast every day... It took ten years to get my life back."

Lingdong is a rare place in the human world, and the aura in it is abundant but fragile.In order not to destroy the spiritual energy, Bai Yi hadn't stepped into that spiritual cave for ten years, and drank the refined blood by himself every day, and then transformed it into Han Zhou's body through the Tianji pupil.

Hua Zhuo looked shocked, a little unimaginable.

Bai Yi leaned against the soft bed expressionlessly, took a sip of tea, and listened quietly.

"The thing I gave you that day was actually Xiaoyi's inner alchemy. I didn't know it at the time, and thought it was just an ordinary spirit bead." Han Zhou smiled.

Ji Xiao frowned, "...You mean, Tianjitong is actually the inner alchemy of the national teacher?"

"Not bad." Han Zhou nodded.

"So that's the case... No wonder the national teacher knows that Tianjitong is in my hand." Hua Jue suddenly realized, and said again, "The white beads that the national teacher used to refine blood that day, are they longevity bones?"

"Yes." Han Zhou said without any concealment.

Hua understood, and was a little curious, and asked: "Then...have your memory recovered? What happened to you back then?"

"I haven't fully recovered yet, but I have remembered most of them. As for what happened back then... I'm afraid it will be a long story." Han Zhou replied.

Hua Zhuo really wanted to hear, "It's okay, let's make a long story short."

Han Zhou smiled lightly, didn't mind, and replied seriously: "Xiao Yi and I met 18 years ago. At that time, I had practiced for more than [-] years, but I still couldn't transform into a demon and fairy. As long as the immortals have plenty of aura, they can transform into forms regardless of their mana. However, monsters are different, especially those living in the human world. It is difficult to find a place with plenty of aura, and only with strong mana can they hide. Turned into a human form after lightning calamity."

"When I first met Xiao Yi, he was only one year old. He was a kid who came out of nowhere and didn't understand anything. But he had white tiger blood on his body, and no one in the mountains dared to bully him." Han Zhou carefully recalled Dao, "At that time he always followed me, I was forced to practice with him for three years - but there is also a little advantage, he has a strong spiritual energy, which can help me cultivate."

"Three years later, I reached the stage of crossing the catastrophe. I escaped the thunder and transformed into a human form. I know that the white tiger is an ancient beast. Its descendants are different from ordinary immortals and demons. They are born with spirituality in their bones. Ten years old In the future, he will be able to transform into an adult. So I simply took him down the mountain and adapted to the life of a mortal in Qiujiang City early."

"However, I was too careless. At that time, the human world was not as stable as it is now, and it was common for evil monsters to wreak havoc. Besides, although Xiao Yi is a descendant of the white tiger, he is not yet an adult, so he can't control anyone at all." Han Zhou Shen's eyes were extremely calm, and he wrote lightly, "It was the fifth year I lived in Qiujiang City at that time, and it was only one year before Xiaoyi transformed into a form. A powerful wolf demon came to the city. I have no power. , was killed by him..."

"Fortunately, Xiaoyi's original form is very small, only the size of my palm, like a kitten... She was hidden in my arms at that time, and was not discovered by the wolf demon." Hanzhou's eyes were bitter, and he ticked off. The corner of his lips said, "It's a pity... I waited for so many years in my previous life, thought about it so many times, but when I was about to die, I didn't see what his transformation looked like."

Han Zhou turned his head to look at Bai Yi who was on the soft bed, and smiled, "However, fortunately, I have seen it in this life."

The story of Guoshi and Hanzhou has just been taken by me in one stroke. Really, to make a long story short... [Top the pot cover and run]

But at least I wrote this chapter very thick and long, which can be forgiven... (Whispering Bibi)
