36. Chapter 36
The sun is on the head. At the entrance of the street there was a big willow tree, pinching the green leaves, and the sun was beating and curled into a curl. A teahouse that was originally deserted, thanks to the blessing of this scorching summer, there are also a few more passers-by who roll their eyes and stick out their tongues.
On the second floor of the teahouse, a pair of young men and women sat facing each other. The young man was only more than ten years old, dressed in coarse cloth, but he couldn't hide his delicate and handsome facial features. If you look closely, it's a washboard!
The girl was even more eccentric, white as snow, ice muscles and jade skin, but she was cold and cold-eyed, like the bright moon in Ashan, which was daunting and did not dare to approach. On the slender waist, there is an ice-blue palace silk, which sways gently in the breeze.
"Master, we've been wandering around this area for seven or eight days, what are you looking for?" This girl is no older than the young man, but he shouts respectfully as he speaks Master. Eyebrows and eyes, no matter how well-behaved.
The girl propped up her chin and looked out the window, ignoring him.
The boy had long been accustomed to touching the tip of his nose, but there was still a faint hint of loss in his eyes.
At this time, Xiao Er put a few light and delicious vegetarian dishes on the table one by one. The young man hurriedly lifted his chopsticks and put a piece of tofu in her bowl. The girl glanced at him and said coldly, "Have you been ashamed of the eight honors?" What did I tell you, you are not allowed to eat until you finish memorizing. ”
The young man froze for a moment, silently put down his chopsticks, and muttered the "mental method" that he couldn't read at all. He pondered for more than a year, but he still didn't understand what this text had to do with cultivating immortals, why he recited it every morning and evening, and memorized it twice before eating.
“…… Be proud to serve the people and be ashamed to turn your back on the people...... Be proud of being honest and trustworthy, and be ashamed of forgetting your righteousness for profit......"
In the young man's vague recitation, Ji Tang's mind gradually dissipated, and he drifted out of the sky-
Two years ago, she crossed into her current body and became an elder of the world's first immortal sect, Xuantian Sect. looks like she is still a twenty-eight girl, but her actual age is over three hundred years old. After the retreat, she hesitated for a long time, but still chose to go to Xu Jing.
A little more than a month later, she found him in a mortal town. At that time, he was sitting at the top of the wall, clutching a weed, watching a group of bullies beat up a thin scholar. The bully snatched the scholar's money bag and took out half of the silver taels from it and threw it to him. He grinned and took it, patted the dust on his robe, and turned to leave.
Ji Tang stopped him at the entrance of the alley and asked, "Why did those wicked people give you money?" ”
He looked her up and down in amazement, and only after a while did he speak: "Because the scholar kidnapped the Oiran of Tianxianglou and was about to elope, it was the news that I reported. ”
Ji Tang only felt that it was dark in front of him.
She brought him back to Xuantian Sect with mixed feelings and raised him by her side. He insisted on worshipping her as a teacher and learning immortal arts. At first, she bit it to death and disagreed, for fear that he would learn the skills and become a big scourge if his heart was not right. However, after a long time, he actually sneaked around the elders and found the doorway himself.
The head of the sect was shocked by his qualifications and wanted to accept him as his closed disciple. But fortunately, this kid still has some conscience, and he refuses to worship under others, saying that he only recognizes her as a master in this life. Ji Tang had no choice, so he reluctantly accepted him and took him with him as a follower, but he never dared to teach seriously, and only let him memorize the eight honors and eight shames and core values every day.
According to her observation for more than a year, Xu Jing's memory of the previous copies was very limited, and he rarely took the initiative to mention it if he was not deliberately stimulated. But as they spent more time together, he seemed to remember more and more things, and the eyes that looked at her became deeper and deeper.
He is an extremely sensitive, and extremely cold and selfish person, with a strict antisocial personality. In his subconscious, he seems to know that the world he lives in is illusory, so he is extremely indifferent to the feelings and lives of others. When Ji Tangtong made a careful observation and came to this conclusion, his scalp was numb and creepy
Because she couldn't connect him with the person she loved-
"Master, Master......" Xu Jing stretched out his hand in front of her eyes and shook it twice.
Ji Tang came back to his senses at this time, said "um", picked up the tofu he put into her bowl, and stuffed it into his mouth expressionlessly, tasting like chewing wax.
Xu Jing looked at her with satisfaction, with a slight flattery in his tone, and said, "Master, the matter of the Wei family that you asked me to inquire about is already eyebrows. ”
Only then did Ji Tang take his heart and raise his head.
"The old man of the Wei family has just returned from the capital and bought a big mansion in the town, which is on the edge of Qinglan Fang. His family is also very simple, with one wife and one concubine, a son and daughter-in-law and a grandson. Xu Jing cautiously asked, "Is there any treasure hidden by the Wei family, so Master Lao, you personally went down the mountain to find it?" ”
That's right. Ji Tang nodded and said, "There is an unborn treasure." ”
Xu Jing's dark eyes swelled with a little excitement, "Then let's go and steal the baby tonight." ”
Ji Tang frowned when he heard this, and said coldly: "Did you eat all the eight honors and eight shames that you carried in your stomach?" Steal, why steal? Some of them are obtained by serious means, but you want to steal them? Xu Jing's face turned red and white by her, and he lowered his head, and Nuo Nuo admitted his mistake: "Master, I was wrong." ”
"Kneel on the washboard for another hour tonight."
There was a look of grievance in his eyes, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to refute.
Under other uncles and uncles, they generally walk with swords, which is convenient for the sword to fly. But his master never mentioned that he was given a sword, but instead made him carry a washboard on his back, which he punished every time he made a mistake. Half an hour at the least, two or three hours at the most. Sometimes, he doesn't know what he's done wrong and gets punished for kneeling.
If someone else treated him like this, he would have hated that person to death in his heart, and he wished to stab a hole with a sword to avenge his shame. But Master...... For Master, he always has a secret feeling in his heart, and there is indescribable sweetness. Don't say a hateful word, that is, she was beaten and scolded, seeing her staring at her and getting angry, and she was very happy in the bottom of her heart-
A small town, only one inn.
The two stayed overnight, and the boss was embarrassed: "Guest officer, there is only one room left in the shop." ”
Xu Jing knew that Ji Tang didn't like him, so he immediately said, "I'll just sleep in the stable." Unexpectedly, Ji Tang said flatly: "It's okay, you sleep with me." He was both surprised and delighted, followed her upstairs quickly, diligently laid out the quilt for her, lit her favorite incense, and soaked a pot of dragon well himself.
When he had done everything he could, he became nervous, clasped his hands, and stood aside.
Ji Tang sat on the stool, stumbling through a travelogue, not ready to rest, and reminded coldly: "Washboard." ”
Xu Jing suddenly, took off the washboard on his back, rested at the foot of the bed, faced her direction, and knelt down slowly. This is what he has been doing almost every day for more than a year. From the unbearable pain in her knees at the beginning, to the current nothing, she can still stare at her with a smile and no shame.
Ji Tang was just a joke at first, remembering the grievances of his previous life, he bought a washboard and threw it to him, and asked him to kneel if he did something wrong. As a result, he actually knelt all night, kneeling so much that his knees were blistered, his legs were red and swollen and bruised, and he almost died.
She was angry and distressed, rolled up his pants, asked her senior brother for the secret medicine of Xianmen, and massaged him for a long time. Unexpectedly, since then, this kid has been addicted to kneeling, and he is still picking a place, and he must kneel under her nose. came and went, and it became what it is today.
Ji Tang put down the book and lay down on the bed with his clothes closed. Xu Jing's gaze also followed her, turning the direction, so greedy that he couldn't look at it for a moment. She was a little annoyed by his staring, and with a wave of the wind, she extinguished the candle. The whole room was suddenly plunged into darkness, and only the bright moon entered through the window.
"Master."
"Hmm."
Xu Jing knelt forward, knelt in front of her bed, folded his hands under his chin, and asked softly, "Why did you take me back to Xuantian Sect at that time?" ”
Because I need to cheat on the marriage to complete the task, because I want to detain you and supervise you, because ...... There is still a glimmer of hope, hoping that you will change back to your original self. Ji Tang had a thousand thoughts in his heart, like an entangled mess, but in the end, he let out a long breath and didn't say anything.
Ji Tang gave way to the inside of the bed, vacated most of the space, took off the tape around his waist, rested it in the middle, and said softly: "Sleep, don't kneel." ”
Xu Jing thought that he would sleep on the pedal at most. Even when I entered her room, I felt flattered, and I didn't expect her to let him sleep on his side at all. He was stunned for a moment, and a wave of turbulence surged in his heart, and he was overwhelmed with ecstasy. His fingertips held on to the edge of the bed, trembling slightly, and he climbed up with the most heartfelt and gentle movements.
He struggled to hold his breath. But the fragrance on her body penetrated into it everywhere, like a poison eroding his bone marrow.
"Master, Master."
No one responded. Her breath was steady, and she was already asleep.
He turned over and gazed greedily at her moonlit, immaculate sleep. A strange tingling sensation rushed from the soles of the feet to the top of the head. He reached out and traced her countenance in the air, from her forehead to the tip of her nose and finally to her petal-like lips. He would do anything for her if she allowed him to kiss her. Even if he died for her immediately, he was willing.
But at this time, after all, I don't dare.
Afraid that she would understand his dirty thoughts, she would turn away and leave him alone in this world-
The two visited the Wei Mansion, and Ji Tang handed the porter a note from Xuantianzong.
In this copy, the secular and immortal cultivation worlds are not without intersection, and the royal families of many countries need the power of the immortal cultivation world as support. The people of the time also respected the immortal cultivators very much, called the immortal envoys, and were proud of their own children cultivating immortals.
When Master Wei received her note, he jumped up in shock, and hurriedly came out to greet the whole family, "The immortal envoy came to the cold house, I don't know what happened?" ”
"It's to ask Master Wei for a treasure." Ji Tang's eyes fell on his grandson. It was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, his eyes were clear, and his still childish face could already be seen to be a little clear. Not humble or arrogant, with outstanding temperament. The most rare thing is that the three yangs on the top of the head gather, the mind is clear, and it is clean and pure.
She bowed her head with satisfaction and said, "Ling Sun is a genius beauty jade who cultivates immortals, I wonder if Master Wei is willing to let him be my closed disciple and join the Xuantian Sect?" ”
The Wei family was overjoyed, but Xu Jing clenched his fists and looked at her in disbelief, his eyes filled with anger.
