Yan Xiao, who returned to the ice field when he came again, felt a little trance for a while. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It was as if yesterday, she, Ning Yuan, and Cheng Yi had broken through the ice on this ice field in order to avoid Wuyuan's tracking.
But in the blink of an eye, the mood of the three of them has changed dramatically.
This was unexpected by Yan Xiao, and it was also something that Cheng Yi was very unwilling to see.
A year ago, after the three of them failed at the Snow Ice Wolf, they began to prepare for the refining of the remaining six elixirs. Although the six kinds of pill medicinal materials were hard to find, he didn't expect that Cheng Yi just let the two of them believe him, and he went out half a year later to retrieve the necessary medicinal materials for the six kinds of pills.
Then it took them half a year to learn the refining of six kinds of pills, and finally used one of the Snow Fairy Pills to impress the Snow Ice Wolf.
Yan Xiao knew that Cheng Yi could do this, and there must be a lot of forces behind him.
Behind Yan Xiao and Ning Yuan, although there is such a huge sect as the Yaoguang Sect, and Qingyuan Daojun's protection of the two is also very strong, but at this time, when the five major sects are fighting, I am afraid that they are already too busy to take care of themselves, so Yan Xiao does not dare to bother the sect at such a time.
But Cheng Yi, he seems to be from a lot of background, but he is not a member of the five major sects.
But if it is said that on the Tianyuan Continent, in this special period, he can still use such a fast speed to collect these medicinal materials, I am afraid that there will be no other forces except for the five major sects, how did he do it?
After a thought fermented in Yan Xiao's heart, it was out of control. After passing her anger with Ning Yuan, she found that the two of them had the same thoughts in their hearts.
"Two fellow Daoists, I'm afraid we're going to say goodbye here." Cheng Yi glanced at Ning Yuan and Yan Xiao deeply, took the lead in breaking the silence, took out two identical jade cigarette holders from his arms and handed them to the two.
"After Yan Daoyou successfully marries Dan, I think you may need to look for me." Cheng Yi watched the two of them take the two jade cigarette holders he handed over, and explained: "This jade cigarette holder is a kind of liaison device for us there, when you need to find me, blow into it, and I will feel it." ”
Yan Xiao took the jade cigarette holder handed over by Cheng Yi and stroked it in his hand, and a trace of doubt flashed in his heart.
"Yan Daoyou doesn't need to look at me with suspicious eyes, no matter what, your and my fates are closely linked, and I won't harm you." Cheng Yi saw the doubts flashing in Yan Xiao's eyes, and there was a trace of sourness fermenting in his heart, he suppressed the uncomfortable feeling in his heart, and sighed, "I can't use the transmission note where I am." ”
Cheng Yi's words can be regarded as explaining the reason why he wanted to give Yan Xiao and the others a jade cigarette holder.
At this point, Yan Xiao naturally couldn't investigate the reason, and the other party felt a little guilty about the suspicion he couldn't help but show.
"You can engrave the meeting place on the jade cigarette holder, and I will receive the message as well." Cheng Yi seemed to be a little uneasy about the two who had never used the jade cigarette holder, and carefully explained the use method to the two.
"Take care all the way, Cheng Daoyou." Yan Xiao watched Cheng Yi explain the precautions of the two, and then summoned his flying magic weapon, and finally had a reluctant emotion in his heart.
Cheng Yi is a destined person with the same identity as her, and in the days when they don't get along much, the two of them can learn a lot of things from each other that they can't experience by themselves in their own cultivation on weekdays.
Yan Xiao attributed this reluctance to sympathy.
She thinks that she and Cheng Yi should be the kind of people who cherish each other. It's like an old friend who knows each other very well.
Now Cheng Yi is finally leaving, and I don't know how long it will be before I say goodbye.
Ever since Yan Xiao lived the life of a monk, she has been very open to some things, such as reunion and separation.
She knew that monks lived a long life, and that most of their days were spent in retreat by themselves. Everyone's cultivation progress and content are different, and it is impossible for one person to be by your side forever, even if it is a fellow Daoist.
So Yan Xiao rarely feels reluctant to anyone, she knows that parting is for a better reunion.
This time I was a little reluctant to Cheng Yi, but it was still a rare emotion for so many years.
Cheng Yi saw the reluctant emotions hidden in Yan Xiao's eyes, and the emotions that had been depressed for a long time in his heart suddenly dispersed.
What if you can't be a Taoist? It may be better to be a pivotal friend in her life than a Taoist couple.
The sudden broadening of his state of mind made Cheng Yi's accumulation of cultivation during this period of time suddenly produce a qualitative change.
Under the gaze of Yan Xiao and Ning Yuan, he entered a mysterious state.
By the time he opened his eyes again, he could clearly perceive that he was different.
Later stage of foundation building. This is the hurdle he hasn't stepped over for a long time, but today the hurdle suddenly and naturally became smooth.
Not far from him, Yan Xiao and Ning Yuan were sitting.
For him who suddenly entered a mysterious state, the two did not leave, but sat not far away to protect the Dharma for him.
If you have a friend like this, what more can you ask for?
Chihuo, who was staying in the handstove space, noticed the obvious change in Cheng Yi's mood, and it sighed softly: That's it, let them go.
"Congratulations to Cheng Daoyou, you are ahead of me again." Yan Xiao was happy with Cheng Yi's promotion from the bottom of her heart, and at the same time sighed that Cheng Yi seemed to be one step ahead of her at all times.
"Yan Daoyou doesn't need to be discouraged, you are not much slower than me." Cheng Yi generously accepted the blessing from Yan Xiao, and nodded at Ning Yuan, who was also looking at him with a smile.
"Then let's separate, shall we?" Yan Xiao took a deep breath, no matter how they delayed, they still had to come. Cheng Yi's epiphany took another day.
Cheng Yi nodded, re-summoned his flying magic weapon, and jumped up gently.
"Waiting for you to get married." Cheng Yi didn't say anything more, waved his hand behind him, and flew towards the north.
Cheng Yi was still stepping on a pu fan, but that pu fan was even more delicate than the one he had damaged when he fought against Wuyuan before, and it must have been sent together when someone sent medicinal herbs.
"Senior brother...... Cheng Yi is a person from Zhongzhou Island. Yan Xiao sighed softly and turned her gaze to Ning Yuan.
Ning Yuan nodded, patted Yan Xiao's head, summoned his wooden boat and said softly: "Don't speculate, when Cheng Daoyou is willing to tell you one day, you will know, come up now, we should also go." ”
Yan Xiao nodded, no longer looking in the direction of the north, but jumped with Ning Yuan's outstretched hand and easily stood on his flying boat.
"You're going to enjoy it." Yan Xiao sighed while lying in the wooden boat.
Ningyuan's wooden boat is spacious and comfortable, and you can lie on it at will, while Cheng Yi's pu fan is soft and comfortable, and the touch is very good. Only her glass bottle, smooth enough to give the illusion that it could easily fall down.
"Ours is for enjoyment, yours is for survival." Ning Yuan glanced at Yan Xiao, who was lying comfortably in the wooden boat, with a smile, and sighed, and then teased.
As soon as Yan Xiao was told by Ning Yuan's words, he suddenly felt a little reasonable.
"How do you think I'm going to use it to escape?" Yan Xiao was thinking about his intention when he chose the glass bottle in the first place, and at the same time thinking that over the years, he had really made the best use of it by himself, and it was used to escape for his life.
Ning Yuan couldn't help but laugh when he heard Yan Xiao's self-deprecation, he rubbed Yan Xiao's head and said with a smile: "I'll accompany you in the future." ”
Accompany her? Yan Xiao turned his head and glanced at Ning Yuan, did he mean to accompany her to escape for her life?
Yan Xiao was a little ridiculous, but he received Ning Yuan's kindness and nodded with a smile.
The two of them slowly approached Qulan City in a somewhat warm atmosphere along the way.
"It's broken!" When he saw the three big characters of "Qulan City" on the north gate of Qulan City, Yan Xiao patted his head, and two words popped out of his mouth.
"What's wrong?" Ning Yuan was a little puzzled, and raised his eyebrows to look at Yan Xiao. Under the probing of his divine sense, he did not seem to notice anything unusual around him.
Yan Xiao glanced at the sky behind him with some annoyance, and said to Ning Yuan, "Do you remember what the Qulan City Lord said at that time?" ”
Yan Xiao reminded him like this, and Ning Yuan also thought about it. At the beginning, Qu Lantian City's lord Qu Lantian arrived in time to stop Wuyuan, who was blocking the two of them along the way, and took him away, leaving the three of them clean.
At that time, Qu Lantian said when he was leaving, let them go back to Qu Lancheng to find him after they were done, he had something to tell them.
But now it's okay, Qu Lantian's words at that time were said to her and Cheng Yi, but now only she and Ning Yuan are back in Qulan City, and Cheng Yi doesn't know where to go now.
"Use the jade cigarette holder that Cheng Daoyou gave us?" Yan Xiao glanced at Ning Yuan and wanted to ask for his opinion.
Ning Yuan thought for a moment, but shook his head, "Cheng Daoyou is in a hurry, there must be something important." Why don't we go and meet the Qulan City Lord first and ask him if his matter is very important, if it is not so urgent, you can also invite Cheng Daoyou to Qulan City after the marriage. ”
When Yan Xiao heard this, he felt that Ning Yuan's words were also very reasonable, so he followed his advice, and the two of them did not send any news to Cheng Yi, so they descended at the gate of the north city of Qulan City.
The guards at the North City Gate seemed to have changed their new faces, in short, Yan Xiao and Ning Yuan didn't see the guards who were deceived by them that day.
The bounty order had already been taken down by Qu Lantian, and Yan Xiao and Ning Yuan's entry into the city did not alarm too many people.
The two walked slowly towards the City Lord's Mansion, but before they could reach the City Lord's Mansion, they were stopped.
Yan Xiao could recognize that this Jiedan monk who stopped them was the monk who found them trespassing into the ice cave that day.
He was able to issue so many orders when the city lord was in retreat, and he must be Qu Lantian's cronies.
"Two little friends, the city lord is invited, please come with me." Qu Hao had a smile on his face, and made a "please" gesture to Yan Xiao and the others, which could be regarded as giving Yan Xiao and the two faces.
Yan Xiao and Ning Yuan glanced at each other, and nodded at Qu Hao, "I'm tired of the seniors leading the way." ”
Although Qu Lantian's courtesy to the two made Yan Xiao a little confused, he could feel that Qu Lantian did not have the slightest malice towards them.
Even in the hurried governor seven years ago, Yan Xiao could vaguely remember the loving look hidden in his eyes.
If Yan Xiao said this and let Qu Hao, who was leading the way in front of her, hear it, she would definitely feel incredible.
Because although Qu Lantian is a powerful city lord in his heart, he has always been a person who is out of tune.
He has always seen only playfulness in his eyes, and it is rare to have serious moments, let alone kindness.
But Yan Xiao didn't know this, she only knew that Qu Lantian seemed to be very kind and loving to her and Cheng Yi, as if she was treating her own apprentices or relatives.
This...... Why, exactly?
Yan Xiao was actually a little apprehensive in her heart, when she and Ning Yuan were led by Qu Hao to step into the City Lord's Mansion from the main gate, her anxiety was even worse.
"This is the first time the two of you have entered our City Lord's Mansion through the gate, right?" Qu Hao, who was walking in front, suddenly looked back at the two with a smile.
Although it was fleeting, Yan Xiao still caught the flash of banter in his eyes.
This is to make fun of the two of them sneaking into the ice cave through a secret passage. Yan Xiao was a little helpless, if she had done it, she had done it, and she was not a person who dared not admit it, so she nodded generously at Qu Hao.
"The city lord is taking care of his spiritual grass in the back garden, I'll take you over, and by the way, I'll introduce you to the buildings in the city lord's mansion." Qu Hao said as he led them around to look around.
The architectural style of Qulan City is very similar to the style worn by the lord of Qulan City - arbitrary, free and easy, but with luxury.
This is very different from the Yaoguang School.
Although the styles of the various peaks of the Yaoguang Sect are very diverse, relying on the elders of each peak to show their own strength, it is a coincidence that none of the elders of the Yaoguang Sect likes luxurious things.
Therefore, the Yaoguang faction did not see those glittering things being used as roofs or walls on buildings.
Qu Lan City Lord's Mansion is different, Qu Lantian is a wanton person, he will let people do whatever he thinks of today, if he doesn't like this in a few days, it will make people look different, in short, Yan Xiao summed it up: There is enough tossing.
There are even some buildings that look strange, and several large golden tiles suddenly appear on a red tile, hitting the roof like patches, Yan Xiao looked at it, not to mention how awkward it was, but Qu Hao said that the city lord liked that very much.
This made Yan Xiao a little more curious about Qu Lantian who was about to see next.
Along the way, from Qu Lantian's strange aesthetic style, Yan Xiao has a certain understanding of him.
It seemed a far cry from the loving look she had once stumbled on.
In the process of affirming and denying, negating and affirming in Yan Xiao's heart, the three of them soon came to the back garden in Qu Hao's mouth.
It is said that after Qu Lantian became the lord of the city, he specially razed the buildings behind him to the ground and turned them into a garden, which was specially used to cultivate his spiritual grass. (To be continued.) )
