Rong Ye said again: "The Demon Lord instructed that this thing must be handed over to Miss Shaohua himself." As he spoke, he spread out a hand, and a golden light flashed, and a gilded locket appeared in his hand. He opened the box, and there was another flash of silver, and a silver-cast bracelet lay on the brocade in the box. This bracelet has a faint sense of calm, and at first glance it is an extraordinary thing. The mana of this bracelet may still be above the above four magic weapons.
I turned my head to look at Master, who was staring at the man, his gaze not fluctuating in the slightest, and he couldn't see any emotion.
"You go back, tell the Demon King, he doesn't have to be like this, my apprentice status is low, and I can't afford the Demon King's congratulatory gifts. Master finally spoke.
Rong Ye said: "Once the Demon Lord's order is issued, it will never be withdrawn, and the girl will be asked to accept it." ”
The master looked at the man for a long time before he said, "Okay, Shaohua, you can take it." ”
I walked up to Rong Ye and took the gold box with both hands, I don't know if I was wrong, I actually saw him smile at me, it was only a matter of a moment, and after a moment, he regained his cold and blazing appearance.
I was about to put the box on top of the pile of gifts, but the man said, "Please put it on now, girl." ”
I had to look at Master again, not knowing what to do.
Master said, "If you don't want to wear it, don't wear it." ”
I closed the lid of the box after hearing this, I really didn't want to wear it, who knows if there was anything strange about the things sent by the Demon Realm.
But the man insisted: "This is the order of the Demon King, if the girl does not wear it, I will have to automatically ask for punishment when I go back, and the girl should not embarrass us." ”
When I heard this, I silently complained to myself: "Why should I listen to the Demon Lord? I am not a citizen of the Demon Realm, and this Demon Lord is also a little domineering. "But I still understand the reason, what Rong Ye said is not a lie, the Demon Lord has always been strict under his rule.
I thought, if there is something really strange about this bracelet, and Master is by his side, as long as there is any change, Master will be able to keep me safe as soon as possible. So he took the bracelet out of the box and put it on his wrist.
"You ......" I felt like I was being designed by these two people together, and I was angry.
Duanhua smiled: "Senior sister, you didn't tell us anything, we guessed it ourselves, Xi Kang can't blame you." ”
Xing Ye echoed: "That's right, Shaohua, you didn't do anything wrong, you are very trustworthy." With that, He Duanhua walked away with a wicked smile.
When I saw Xi Kang again, he was obviously a little angry with me, but he also said that he didn't blame me, he knew that I didn't break my promise, but he was still a little angry.
On the morning of the fourth day, everyone broke up one by one, and when Lili and the rabbit left, the rabbit came to Master Yunjiang and said, "If Brother Yun has free time, take Shaohua and Duanhua to Cabinet Mountain, and Big Brother often talks about you." ”
Master smiled and agreed.
When Xi Kang said goodbye to the rabbit, he said, "In another month, I will go to the ancestor of no return to get the pill for the master, and I will bring you a few bamboo shoots at that time." ”
The rabbit said: "Thank you, but there is no shortage of bamboo on the cabinet mountain, although there are few bamboo shoots at this time, but you can still eat them." I won't bother you. ”
Xingye and Duanhua sneered. Xi Kang hated it so much, but he didn't dare to be rude in front of the rabbits, so he could only watch them laugh.
When Master said goodbye to Yuan Ci Shangxian, Xi Kang came over to me and said, "Shaohua, I'm sorry, I shouldn't be angry with you. ”
I thought he was very pitiful, and he must have been very distressed when he fell in love with a hard-hearted person like a rabbit, and he was canceled by his friends, so he comforted: "I didn't mind, you don't have to say I'm sorry." Duanhua and Xingye are a bit excessive, but they have no malicious intentions, don't blame them. ”
Xi Kang smiled and smiled very cheerfully, "Shaohua, we will be friends in the future, if you want me to do anything in the future, I will not give up." ”
When I heard him say this, I also had a sense of heroism in my heart, and said: "If you have something to do with each other, I will definitely help you, and I will never excuse myself." ”
The three masters and apprentices rode away by clouds, but they did not go to Yunrong Mountain. There were a lot of gifts received during this immortal feast, many of which were natural and untempered embryos, and Master planned to find someone to make these embryos into magic instruments.
I played with the bracelet in my hand and asked Duanhua absentmindedly, "Why are you making fun of Xi Kang with Xingye? ”
Duanhua said: "We are doing this for his good, let him do his best to realize that Aunt Ying is not suitable for him, otherwise as time goes by, he will fall deeper and deeper, and in the end he will be more pitiful." ”
"That's the idea you guys. I hope Xi Kang can understand it sooner, but don't let the rabbit hurt him. ”
"Senior sister, you're not right, you can't blame her for everything just because you don't like Aunt Ying, and it's not Aunt Ying who makes Xi Kang like her. ”
"I don't blame her. I said with a humble heart. "Why do you call her Auntie? She's about the same age as us. ”
Duanhua leaned over and asked, "Senior sister, didn't you notice it?"
I asked, "Perceive what?"
Duanhua leaned into my ear and whispered, "Aunt Ying, she is interesting to Master." ”
"Huh, no, where did you see that?"
"We all saw it, but you didn't see it. Aunt Ying's eyes were ...... when she looked at Master."
"Ahem, Duanhua. Master suddenly coughed, startling both of us.
Duanhua said, "Yes, Master." ”
The master said, "The master is a little thirsty and wants to drink the stream water at the foot of Yunrong Mountain, you can go and fill me with a bag." ”
"Master!" Duanhua wailed with a bitter face.
"Remember, come back within a stick of incense. Master added.
So, a certain turtle used all the spells and magic weapons before bringing back a bag of water in a stick of incense.
In the evening, we arrived at a Taoist temple.
As soon as we arrived, the door of the Taoist temple opened by itself, and out of it came a little Taoist boy, tied in two purse buns, wearing a blue-gray Taoist robe, and barefoot.
As soon as he went out, he made a salute and said, "Donor, please come in, the family teacher has been waiting for a long time." ”
We followed the little Taoist all the way into the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion in the backyard of the Taoist Temple, and the Taoist stopped outside the door, and we also stopped. He stood aside with his hands down, and an old voice came from the pavilion, "Now that your guest has arrived, is he just standing at the door?"
The master said: "I have heard that Daoist Qingyu is good at divination, and it is true. With that, he pushed the door and entered, and Duanhua and I followed.
There are so many books in the room, I have only seen them in my life, from the floor to the roof, there are books everywhere, densely packed, blocking the light from the window, making the room look a little dim.
Daoist Qingyu was standing in front of a row of bookshelves, looking through a fragment. He didn't look up at us when we walked up to him.
He just lowered his head, looked through the book in his hand over and over again, and talked to Master over and over again.
"You're here for the forge?"
"Yes. ”
"What's good for you?"
Everyone knows that Daoist Qingyu is a master of casting artifacts, and many artifacts of the Six Realms of Wind and Cloud are created by him personally. He has a convention that anyone who comes to him to cast a tool can do it, but that person must have an embryo worthy of his own hands, otherwise he will ignore it.
Master said, "The good things in our eyes may not be seen by the Taoist. Here are a few things to ask the Taoist chief to take a look at. The Taoist chief thought that he could, so he worked hard to create a few pairs of magic weapons for my two apprentices. With a wave of his sleeves, the embryos appeared on the floor.
Daoist Qingyu took his eyes away from the book, bent down to pick up one, and looked at it carefully. He had to look at everything for a long time, and when he had finished reading all of them, the moon had passed midday, and the pheasants outside the audience had already crowed twice.
After he finished reading the embryo, he came to see me and Duanhua again, and he spent more time looking at people than looking at the device, especially for me, he actually watched it for four or five hours. From the top of the head to the hands and feet, from the hair to the nails. At first, I was uncomfortable with his scrutiny, and my face was feverish, but over time I got used to it, and anyone would get used to being looked at like this for four or five hours.
We stayed in this library from the evening of the first day to the evening of the second day, and when we went in there was a sky full of clouds, and when we came out, it was still full of clouds. It actually gives people the illusion of time and space disorder.
Out of the dim room, I saw the appearance of Qing Yu Dao clearly. He was thin, but strong, and the muscles tangled in his body could be seen through the wide robes. His skin was brass-colored, covered with a faint golden red in the setting sun, and his old and wrinkled face was ruddy and resolute. He no longer has eyebrows, I don't know if he was born without or if he is old and gone. There were no pupils in his eyes, no whites of his eyes, and they were blank silver gray. Originally, anyone who saw such a pair of eyes would feel frightened, but his whole person gave people a surprising sense of calm, he just stood there, the wind could not blow the hem of his clothes when he was not moving, and when he did not speak, his eyes did not blink, his nose did not shrug, like a sculpture. So his eyes are not so scary, that is, because everyone subconsciously treats him as a sculpture, then it is not so strange that his eyes have no pupils, and it is not strange that they are silver-gray.
If the immortals can change their appearance at will, most of the immortals will choose to face the world with their youngest and most proud appearance, although there are a few who like to make themselves white-bearded and silver-haired, but among the six realms that transform themselves into this appearance, I am afraid that only Qingyu Dao is the chief.
The embryos we brought, Qingyu Dao Chang only selected seven pieces.
It takes time to practice the instrument, so the three of us took advantage of this time to go to the ancient barren forest in the far west, which has been a no-man's land for thousands of years, but it is the hiding place of the Fengzhi immortals.
Now, two hundred years later, I don't know if he's still there. Maybe Duanhua will never forget this road, this way of escape for him.
Master and I followed him closely behind, speechless all the way.
Fengzhi Medicine Immortal was indeed no longer here, and we only picked up a few discarded pills and some miscellaneous dried medicinal herbs in the dense weeds.
