40. Chapter 40

Ji Tang didn't expect Xu Jing to go for so long, and when her upper and lower eyelids were about to close, she was late with a lotus lantern. She was so angry that she wanted to scold him, but seeing that his face was very bad, she swallowed back the words to her mouth, and finally only said, "What's wrong with you, is the wound painful?" ”

Xu Jing shook his head and smiled: "It's okay, there are a lot of people over there, and it was delayed for a while." Instead, he told her an interesting story about his past visit to the Lantern Festival. He squatted down, held Ji Tang's hand, and slowly pushed the lotus lamp in his hand to the water.

Countless lotus flowers flow down the water, as if the flowers on the other side are flowing in the Styx, reflecting a path of fire. He stared at the pious faces of the people around him, couldn't help but pull her into his arms, inserted his five fingers into her long hair, and asked softly, "Master, what wish have you made?" ”

"You don't tell me, what did you write on the Immortal Tree, why should I sue you and me for the wish?" Ji Tang glared at him angrily. Xu Jing's heart was about to melt, and his tone became more and more gentle, "Then I sue you for the words I wrote, and you also sue me for the wishes you made, okay?" ”

"Not good!" Ji Tang was not fooled, "You just said that after putting out the lanterns, you will first say the words on the red paper, why is it two for one now?" I don't do it. ”

Xu Jing laughed sullenly, causing her chest to shake slightly, and pressed her head tighter into her arms, "Master, I will never leave you for the rest of my life." ”

Hiss, it's really numb. Ji Tang crossed his arms, his chin slammed his chest, and said angrily: "If you want to go, go, who is rare about you?" ”-

As soon as Xu Jing's injury improved, Ji Tang was ready to take him and Wei Changning back to the mountain.

The head of the house has sent paper pigeons to urge many times, and every time she replies to the letter, she sighs for a long time, and she has to rack her brains to write a lot of official Tai Chi words. Xu Jing seemed to be addicted to playing in the mortal world, and delayed their trip again and again, but it was Ji Tang who made cruel words to finally pull him out of the red dust.

Who knew that there would be chaos again!

Wei Changning couldn't fly with a sword, so Ji Tang naturally wanted to share a sword with him. In the past, Xu Jing used the excuse that he didn't know the art of the sword, so he had to come behind her, but now that he has even learned the illusion of Chang Huan Pavilion, of course she will not believe that set of rhetoric. But Xu Jing just refused to let her be alone with Wei Changning.

"You're such a big person, can't you fly by yourself?" Ji Tang was speechless, "How can I drag two of them alone?" ”

Xu Jing argued: "But I don't have a sword!" ”

Ji Tang said: "You have a washboard, the principle is the same, just fly." She approached, poked him in the chest, and said dissatisfiedly, "There has to be a limit to fooling around, what are you competing with a child?" ”

"Wei Changning is not a child, he is already fifteen years old." Xu Jing gritted his teeth and emphasized.

She glanced at Wei Changning with her empty eyes, and saw that the latter was crying and confessing to her parents, but she didn't hear their conversation, so she patted Xu Jing's face and said angrily: "But you are older than him, and you are not a child anymore." Can't you understand something? "It's really naΓ―ve to even eat vinegar from junior high school students.

Xu Jing didn't give up, "Then I'll take him." ”

Ji Tang secretly wondered, who knows if you will fall him down and die halfway? This is the heart of the future of the head!

In the end, it was decided that Ji Tang Yujian would take Wei Changning and Xu Jing would take the washboard by himself.

In the sobbing sound of the Wei family's old and young, two white lights disappeared like neon in the sky. 、-

It would take at least two days and one night for Edgeworth to fly back to Qingqiong Mountain, where Xuantian Sect was located. Xu Jing and Ji Tang don't care, but Wei Changning's ** mortal fetus can't stand it. As soon as it was dark, the three of them found a hill and descended.

Xu Jing offered to hunt a pheasant for Wei Changning to replenish his body, which really made Ji Tang unexpected.

"Why bother Senior Brother, I'll go with Senior Brother." Wei Changning smiled gently, got up and dusted off his robe.

Ji Tang saw that the two of them were tall and one short, walking side by side towards the forest, and he felt strange in his heart. Didn't the two of them always mismatch? No, it should be said that Xu Jing unilaterally can't get used to this cheap junior brother. Wei Changning is an honest and good boy, knowing Xu Jing's hostility towards him, he still respectfully tolerates everywhere.

Confirming that he had left the range of Ji Tang's divine sense surveillance, Xu Jing immediately paused, looked back at Wei Changning coldly, and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

Wei Changning tilted his head innocently, "I don't understand what Senior Brother is saying." ”

"If you're aiming for me, that's fine." Xu Jing nailed his palm into the trunk of a tree beside him, and in the midst of the thousand leaves, he said coldly, "Don't hit her with your ghost idea."

"Senior brother, is there a misunderstanding, Changning has always only respected the master, and will never ......" He paused, and the smile on his lips became evil, "Like the senior brother, I think of the master indifferently." ”

Xu Jing laughed angrily, and Sen Sen asked, "So, what do you want?" ”

"I heard that Senior Brother is a genius in cultivating immortals, and his qualifications are on par with mine?" Wei Changning fixed his eyes on him, "The genius of Xuantian Sect, one is enough, and the master doesn't need to be distracted by the two descendants." Senior brother is a smart man, I said this, you should understand, right? ”

"You want me to leave Xuantian Sect." Xu Jing slowly and methodically pierced the last layer of window paper, not a question, but a statement.

Wei Changning said with a smile: "Senior brother is very talented, even if it is not Xuantian Sect, there is also Xuandi Sect, Xuanren Sect is rushing to accept you as an apprentice, so why are you entangled with me here?" ”

Xu Jing didn't speak for a long time.

Wei Changning's eyes gradually appeared proud, thinking that he had made a compromise to himself.

Butβ€”

"You said earlier that you were going to make a bet with me, whether Master believes you or me. Actually, you don't have to bet at all, now I can tell you the answer directly. Xu Jing raised his head, picked up a leaf that fell on the top of his head, blew it away gently, and smiled indifferently, "Master will believe you, but ...... She will choose to shield me. ”-

Strange, so weird!

Ji Tang looked at the pair of "senior brothers" in front of him, you handed me a chicken leg, I gave you a wild fruit, and the friendly picture of talking and laughing was cold. Could it be that they suddenly hit it off at first sight and became good brothers?

Her questions were faintly blocked back by Xu Jing's smiling expression.

As a result, the three of them returned to Xuantian Sect in such a strange atmosphere.

Xuantian Sect, located in Qingqiong Mountain, is the first immortal gate in the cultivation realm, with a thousand-year-old heritage and strong strength. The mountain gate is majestic, and the treasure elephant is solemn. And this Qingqiong Mountain, looking from afar, is a misty fairyland on earth. However, Ji Tang can know the power of this - after thousands of years and countless generations of masters, Qingqiong Mountain has been integrated with Xuantian Sect, forming an incomparably tight mountain protection array, once it is opened, it is the cultivators of the false immortal realm who come in, and there is no way to live.

Ji Tang's original body, as the only junior sister among the elders of the Ten Veins and Eight Peaks, still has a lot of status in Xuantian Sect.

The head of the house, Xuan Yangzi, ended the retreat early and waited for her to come back in the main hall in person...... No, it should be said that he is waiting for Wei Changning. This hundred-year-old genius with a superb spiritual root.

"Oops, I really found it for you!" Xuanyangzi was so excited that he burst into tears, looked at Xu Jing on the left and Wei Changning on the right, and couldn't help but be jealous of his sister's shit luck. How could a disciple with excellent qualifications, a heavenly spirit root, an earth spirit root, and the pride of heaven and earth all hit her hands?

Ji Tang felt that his expression was really like a dead house that collected complete figures.

However, being able to gather the twin spirit roots of heaven and earth, even for a big faction like Xuantian Sect, it would be green smoke from the grave.

"Fifteen years ago, in this small town in the south, there was a surge of fairy light. Everyone suspected that it was a strange treasure and went to hunt for treasures. This matter was quite a sensation back then, but later because nothing was found, it had to be stopped. She grasped the important point and explained briefly, "Not long ago, I passed through here and found that the aura in this area is more concentrated than the surrounding area. At first, I thought it was some kind of heaven and earth treasure, but then I remembered that I had seen it in a book that when the spiritual root of heaven and earth was born, it could also cause a change in aura. ”

Fortunately, the original owner is a scholar in the immortal cultivation world who loves reading, and the knowledge reserve in her mind is comparable to that of a library, so she can take Xu Jing out so smoothly.

"Now can the head of the sect fulfill his previous promise and let me take Xu Jing away?" The words she coldly threw out to destroy the atmosphere attracted the surprised eyes of Xu Jing and Wei Changning at the same time.

The two of them shouted in unison, "Master......"

Ji Tang waved his hand, signaling the two of them not to open their mouths first, and threatened Xuanyangzi with his eyes: "Master, what you say in person can't be counted, right?" ”

Xuanyangzi said embarrassedly: "That's natural...... Naturally...... "I don't want to count!" Although Wei Changning's qualifications are also excellent, Xu Jing is a heavenly spirit root. Seeing such a prodigy smashed into Ji Tang's hands, he was so distressed that the back of his head twitched.

"In exchange, I can transfer the Earth Spirit Root to your door." She pushed Wei Changning forward, "My temperament is known, where can I afford to take on the heavy responsibility of educating disciples?" It would be more appropriate for you to discipline him. ”

Xuanyangzi's eyebrows moved, "Is this true?" ”

"Of course."

Outstanding disciples are certainly the resources of the entire Xuantian Sect, but they are also the bargaining chips for the elders to fight for face. Although Xuanyangzi has also accepted two disciples, both in terms of qualifications and temperament, they are one head shorter than the law enforcement elders, and they have been aggrieved for more than a hundred years. At this time, the bait thrown by Ji Tang made him more excited than giving him an immortal weapon.

"Master." Wei Changning looked at her pitifully, and in the moment when his long eyebrows were lowered, a trace of viciousness and unwillingness flashed. It turned out that he was just a weight that Ji Tang used to make a deal with the head, and moreover, it was for Xu Jing!

Ji Tang said solemnly: "Don't call me master, the head of the family will be your master in the future." I don't know how many times his ability is higher than mine, and if you follow him to learn, it will definitely be better than following me. ”

This praise of righteous words undoubtedly pleased Xuanyangzi. He stroked his long beard and said, "Since my sister insists on doing so, then I won't persuade you anymore." In the future, I will not interfere in Xu Jing's cultivation matters again. ”

"Thank you, brother." Ji Tang bowed slightly, counted as a salute, pulled Xu Jing's wrist, and walked away.

At this time, the smile on the corners of Xu Jing's eyes could no longer be hidden, and before he left the hall, he hooked her fingertips with his index finger under the wide sleeve.

"Master."

"Hmm."

"Actually, you care about me too, don't you?"

"Get out!" -

Wei Changning, who was standing in the main hall, still had a modest smile on his face, but his nails were cut into the flesh, and he almost plucked blood.

- Xu Jing! Ji Tang! Why don't you dogs and men take me seriously?

"In the future, you will live with me in the ...... of Changlu Peak" Xuanyangzi babbled to his new disciple about all kinds of trivial matters, but he didn't know that the childish young man in front of him had already gone far away.

"Master, I heard that Xuantian Sect's illusion is very powerful, is it true?" He asked suddenly.

"Illusion? How did you become interested in this? Xuanyangzi thought that many low-level monks walked in the mortal world, often relying on this method to deceive the world, and thought that he was deceived by someone when he was young, so he explained, "This is just some unpopular last skills, and there are very few people who specialize in this subject." Even if there is, it is difficult to become a big tool. ”

"Is that possible, what illusion can blind the master...... No, what about Elder Ji? ”

"Hmm, after all, Senior Sister is also a powerful monk, how can she be deceived by low-level illusions. However, if it is that, it is not impossible. Xuanyangzi pondered for a while, and thought of a kind of exercise, "That is an illusion created by an evil cultivator who has gone off the rails, called Huo Tianjue. However, after that evil cultivation was eradicated by our seniors, no one practiced this exercise. ”

Wei Changning asked eagerly, "Then where is this Huo Tianjue now?" ”

"The forbidden land of the Houshan Pavilion of the Pavilion."
