Chapter 14: Examinations

"What did Brother Xiao Chen bring to Zifeng today, let me open my eyes too?"

Chen Ming immediately took out a necklace from his purse and handed it to Qingfeng Lan and said, "This is the gift I brought to Zifeng this time, Brother Qingfeng, you help taste it." ”

Qingfeng took the necklace and looked inside and out for a long time, then looked at the sun for a while and exclaimed: "Brother Xiao Chen is really generous, this chain is really one in a million good things, this chain must be worth a lot of money." As he spoke, he handed the necklace back with both hands, for fear of a bum.

When Chen Ming saw Qingfeng Lan say this, he immediately smiled and said: "It's still Brother Qingfeng's knowledge, this is what I bought from a merchant from the imperial capital, it's worth it, although it's more expensive, but it's not as good as Sister Zifeng's smile." ”

Qingfeng exclaimed beside him, Chen Ming was generous, and the two of them praised each other one by one. After chatting for a while, Qing Fenglan asked, "When will Brother Chen go to the city?" ”

"I won't hide it from you, brother, in fact, I came back this time because there is a buyer in the city who needs a lot of ironwood, and it just so happens that there is an ironwood forest in our village, so I will rest for one night tonight, and tomorrow I will set off to cut down ironwood, and then go directly to the city from the ironwood, brother, will you follow us? Brother will take you to the city. ”

Qingfeng said: "Thank you, Brother Chen, but I don't know how to cut wood, and I don't know what ironwood is, I'm afraid I won't be able to help my brother if I go." ”

"Don't worry about this, with my brother here, you just have to follow, and my brother will handle the rest. ”

Qingfeng Lan arched his hand and said, "Then I will thank my brother first." ”

Chen Ming turned his head to look at Zifeng and asked, "Sister Zifeng, this time you should also follow your brother and go to the city to pick up a beautiful dress." ”

Zifeng wanted to refuse, but before the words came out, Qingfeng Lan next to her said: "Sister Zifeng kept saying that she wanted to go to the city a few days ago, but grandma didn't let go, you see she is hesitant now." ”

Chen Ming patted his chest and said: "Grandma, I'll go and say, grandma still gives me some face, and it's just to go around the city, not to the deep mountains and old forests, there's no need to worry, this matter is on me." ”

Qingfeng Lan said to Zifeng: "Brother Xiao Chen is so righteous, don't you thank you?" I have said every day that I want to see Brother Xiao Chen, but now I am too shy to speak?" Chen Ming waved his hand and said: "No, no, Sister Zifeng and I are very good brothers and sisters, you don't have to be polite between us, I will go to grandma now, and tell her to take you to logging tomorrow." ”

After speaking, he left the courtyard with a group of people behind him.

Qingfeng watched Chen Ming leave, turned around and returned to his room, leaving Zifeng alone in the courtyard.

It wasn't until dinner time in the evening that Qingfeng Lan came out of the room, and after coming out, he didn't go to Zifeng, but went directly to the center of the village, and saw a group of people around Chen Ming from a distance, Qingfeng Lan put on a smiling face and greeted him, and before he got closer, he began to shout: "Brother Chen, Brother Chen, the little brother is late." ”

Chen Ming looked for the voice, only to see that Qingfeng Lan had changed into a clean looking clothes, without waiting for a reply, Qingfeng Lan sat next to Chen Ming, picked up the cup on the table and was about to toast, Chen Ming was also a little confused by the sudden scene, so he picked up the wine glass and touched Qingfeng Lan, and the two of them drank a cup of you and I drank a cup of joy. If it weren't for the village chief's grandmother coming out to speak, Chen Ming would have been drunk, and when he saw the village chief standing up, Chen Ming was like a drowning man grasping a straw, and immediately stood up to talk to the village chief. Qingfeng Lan ignored the village chief and drank, completely looking like a drunkard.

In order to welcome the only merchant in the village back, the village has taken out all the things accumulated these days, even if there is no hunting recently, there is no fruit of labor, you can still get a place in this welcome meeting, Zifeng is still sitting in that corner, watching the carnival of the people in the village from a distance, the large bottle of wine in the carnival was brought to the table, everyone eats meat and drinks a lot, after three rounds of wine, many people expose some sides that they usually can't see, the village chief and Chen Ming have been paying attention to Qingfenglan's movements, but seeing Qingfenglan has been bowing his head and drinking, before waiting for the food, he was already drunk and unconscious。 A few people exhaled softly.

The meal lasted until late at night, and when Chen Ming got up and was about to go back to his room, Qingfeng Lan suddenly hugged Chen Ming's leg and said angrily: "Brother Chen, you must bring me, you must bring 。。。。。 I.... As soon as he finished speaking, he fell asleep, Chen Ming looked at Qingfeng who was lying on the ground and kept flowing wine from his mouth, kicked away his hands with great disgust, walked two steps and looked back at the drunken man, and turned his head towards the village chief's house.

Qingfeng Lan has been lying in place, motionless, until Chen Ming came back from the village chief's room, he can still see the person lying on the ground, the only difference is that now Qing Fenglan is holding a bottle of wine in his hand, the mouth of the bottle is facing him, as if he is drinking in his sleep. Chen Ming glanced at it with disgust and returned to his room.

The people in the village were so drunk that they all staggered back to their rooms, and even if there were a few drunks like Qingfenglan, there were people to help send them back. The torches around him were also burned out, and they gradually began to get cold, and there were only two people left in the entire party venue now, one was Qingfeng who was lying on the ground, and the other was Zifeng, who had been sitting silently in the corner.

The night was dark, and the whole village was silent, and Zifeng still quietly looked at the breeze lying on the ground in the distance, and there was no trace of wanting to help. The night breeze blows, the cold breeze shiveres, and the heart is galloping like a thousand horses, but you can't get up and go home, the farthest distance in the world is home is clearly in front of you, but you can't go back.

After a long time, Zifeng also stood up a little cold and prepared to go back, Qingfeng Lan immediately seized the opportunity, hummed and screamed, trying to remind Zifeng that he was still here, but it had no effect, and Zifeng walked towards his home without looking back. Deliberately, it must be deliberate, this girl must be deliberate, she must know that she is awake, and she keeps affirming this idea in her heart. Not long after Zifeng left, he walked over with a quilt, covered Qingfeng Lan with the quilt, and turned around to leave, but how could Qingfeng Lan miss such a good opportunity, he pounced directly, hung himself on Zifeng, and whispered: "You belong to the communiquΓ© personal vendetta." ”

Zifeng was stunned when she heard Qingfenglan's voice, her face was full of incredulity, but she had already determined that Qingfenglan was not drunk, so she hurriedly held this "drunk" person and tried her best to drag Qingfenglan back, but she didn't go far after a busy half a day, so she was sweating. Qingfeng Lan is also helpless, he forgot that this girl's strength can be ignored, and this is a miscalculation. But he also smiled at Zifeng's perseverance, although it was heavy and difficult to carry, but he didn't hear Zifeng's sound from beginning to end, Qingfeng Lan was close, and occasionally he could hear the creaking of Zifeng's teeth, but he never gave up for a moment, and with Zifeng's unremitting efforts, he finally carried Qingfeng back to the room, and as soon as he entered the room, Qingfeng jumped down embarrassedly, scratching his head and standing awkwardly, but Zifeng didn't say anything, turned his head and left the room, leaving Qingfeng alone.

Qingfeng Lan, who was lying on the bed, wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start, and he couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning on the bed, as if he had played big this time, which made Zifeng very angry. But if you are angry, shouldn't you ignore yourself? Why do you have to carry yourself back? But if you don't get angry, shouldn't you talk to yourself? The more you think about it, the more entangled you become, and the more entangled you become, the more you can't sleep. Can only toss and turn in bed.

At this time, there were three black shadows sitting together in another room, one of the black shadows stretched out his hand, and saw a technique slowly appear on his hand, which was the detection technique that Qingfeng Lan had taught before, and when he saw the technique in his palm, the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, and he clenched his fist lightly, and the technique dissipated directly.

Just when Qingfeng Lan was struggling with whether to say something, he suddenly heard Zifeng knock on the wall twice, Qingfeng Lan knew that Zifeng had something to say, and a small technique appeared in his hand, "Say, the formation has been activated." ”

The other side of the wall didn't make a sound right away, and just like that, Qingfeng Lan seemed to have spent a lifetime.

"You said you were going to test me. Finally, there was a voice from the other side of the wall, and the breeze was relieved.

"Oh, then you, then you, just wait a minute, I'll write a spell. After that, he put his finger on the wall and began to draw the technique, which was very simple and finished in a few moments. "Look at your wall, is there a bright circle? You write in this circle the words I taught you before, and I can see it here. Zifeng didn't answer, but two words "Zifeng" appeared in the formation on the wall

Immediately after that, one word after another appeared from the formation, and Qing Fenglan didn't care at the beginning, after all, the words that he began to write were some logical phrases or names, and he didn't know what to teach later, and he taught what he remembered, and even he didn't know what he taught at that time. But after a while, Qingfeng Lan began to be uncalm, because Zifeng wrote more and more words, until a technique diagram appeared in front of Qing Fenglan, he still couldn't believe that this was just a person who had been taught once, and Qingfeng Lan began to wonder if Zifeng knew these words from the beginning, just playing with himself.

"I'm done, is there a mistake?" a small, cautious voice came, like a student making a mistake.

Qingfeng Lan asked in surprise, "That's right, but can you tell me how you memorized so many words?" and that technique, although that technique is entry-level, but I also memorized it completely after drawing it for an hour, how can you draw it at a glance?"

"Didn't you say it took you three days to remember?"

"That's what I said to Da Zhuang, if I can't come up, I will hit other people's confidence, if I tell him that I learned it in an hour, he must not learn it on the spot, I didn't know that the pots and pans in his house were these things, if I knew, I would definitely hit his confidence on the spot, and hit him to doubt life. ”

Zifeng on the other side of the wall burst out laughing, and then immediately closed his voice, afraid that people outside would hear it, and after closing his voice, he thought that there was a technique, and said with a smile: "I don't know, these words seem to have been seen before, but I don't know what they are if I don't write them out, I remember them after I write them, it's very strange, just like you and me, we obviously haven't met, but I do think I've seen you somewhere." ”

"I know why we feel as if we have seen each other somewhere, because our spirit, your spirit should be a rare phoenix spirit, and my spirit is a spirit that appeared by chance when the phoenix was reborn, so to speak, there is an emotion between our spirits that transcends life and death, so we will feel as if we have seen each other somewhere. ”

"I'm a phoenix spirit, am I powerful?"

"I don't know if it's powerful or not, but it's really rare, I know, there is only one phoenix spirit in the whole empire, which is why my sister asked me to protect you. ”

"Protect me? Why? And you're only in the spirit realm, and the village chiefs are all from the spirit summoning realm. ”

"Are you stupid? How can you believe everything I say? Do you know what realm there is above the spirit summoning?"

Zifeng shook her head on the other side of the wall, waiting for Qing Fenglan's answer, but after waiting for a while, she didn't get a reply from Qing Fenglan, and then she remembered that there was a wall between the two. "Grandma said that the spirit is the highest level. ”

"That old woman is talking nonsense, there are still a few realms above the spirit summoning, let me tell you about the realm. ”
