Chapter 168: Don't Say Thank You
At night, Changchun Courtyard was quiet, and only the night guards were vigilant.
Li Yi stepped lightly on the wall, and instantly felt that something was wrong.
He had just broken through to the middle stage of the ninth rank not long ago, but his combat power was comparable to the upper stage of the ninth grade, and his perception was no less than the innate because of the space of the medicine house. In his eyes, this big courtyard, which was very weak and harmless last night, has turned into a hideous beast tonight, with a bloody mouth, ready to swallow people at any time.
Thinking about the information he received, Li Yi scratched his face with a wry smile. He was not afraid of anyone else, even the Master Yuanzhen who had driven him away from the Pure Glass Temple, he was now confident that he really had the power to fight. But what kind of terrifying terrifying energy was contained in the short and thin body of that strange old monk, he thought, it was better for him not to try.
Therefore, Li Yi gave up his plan to dodge and use the method of concealment to enter. He jumped off the wall, did not dodge or dodge, and walked towards a group of guards. No one gave him half a look, and this team of nurses seemed to see the void air, ignoring Li Yi, who passed by them.
Apparently he was told. Li Yi became happy, quickened his pace, walked through the corridor and alley in a regular manner, and slowly approached Ning Chun Hall. The door of the hall was open, but an old monk sat cross-legged on the bluestone steps, closed his eyes and said nothing, slowly moving the Buddha beads between his thin fingers.
Why is there an extra gatekeeper? Li Yi grinned bitterly, stepped forward with light steps, shook his head, and said in a low voice: "Li Yi and Li Wuji, under the Tianyi True Sect, have seen Master Huiku. ”
Master Huiku slowly opened his eyes and looked at Li Yi.
In an instant, Li Yi's soul was shocked, and his body trembled slightly. His foreground seemed to change suddenly, no longer the black lacquered gate of Ningchun Hall, but the boundless vastness of the world.
The sky is blood-red, and the earth is blood-red. Heaven and earth are silent, and he is the only one. When he stood in the middle of it, he was covered in blood and full of holes. Looking around the sea of blood, it is also like the eight desolations of heaven and earth. A sad and desperate feeling grabbed his heart, and he only felt that there was no love in life, and the only way to die was to be happy.
Suddenly, a chill that froze through his heart went straight to his chest, and Li Yi shivered. There is no sea of blood in front of him, and it is clearly still the door of Ning Chun Hall.
The old monk in front of the door closed his terrible eyes and muttered a hoarse chant: "A qiē has a way, like a dream bubble, like dew and electricity." It should be viewed as such. ”
The illusion was only for a moment, but it left an indelible deep impression on Li Yi. He knew that he would refine a secret technique that would go straight to the heart and soul of a person, which was called the way of asking the heart.
He must have been tricked, but it didn't cause him any damage. On the contrary, the vastness of heaven and earth, the blood-red sorrow, and the love he was full of sorrow and loneliness at that time. It is beneficial to how to deal with the demons in his mind when he is practicing. It can even be said that Master Huiku made him feel the invasion of his inner demons in advance, and this kind of opportunity is extremely rare.
Li Yi bowed respectfully and said softly, "Thank you, master." ”
He will only read the scriptures and ignore him. Li Yi was not embarrassed, seeing that Master Huiku didn't seem to want to stop him, he bypassed him and climbed the steps, and entered the gate of Ning Chun Hall very smoothly. He suddenly looked sideways, and there was no master outside the door.
This is the true innate supreme powerhouse! He didn't feel it until they left. He quietly gazed at the bluestone steps that were already empty, and the growing pride of the medicine mansion space slowly disappeared without a trace. The altar is empty and calm. He bowed deeply again to the place where the master had just been sitting.
Passing through the corridor and flower garden in front of the hall, Li Yi entered the main hall and found Zong Zhengke in the study.
She stood in front of the window and read. The long jet-black hair fell to the waist and was loosely tied with a pearl hair ring. The faint glow of the luminous beads above her head softly enveloped her body, causing her crescent-white homely dress to be plated with a pale yellow halo. She is like being embedded in a halo of light, her eyebrows are picturesque, her expression is soft, and she feels intimate and approachable when she looks at it.
But. Maybe Fang Cai's illusion was still working, but Li Yi felt that the figure of the beautiful woman in front of him revealed an inextricable sense of loneliness and desolation, which made him feel distressed. He stared at her in a daze, until she closed the book, looked up at him, smiled at him, and said, "You're here." He walked slowly.
"Ake." Li Yi called softly, gently put his hand on the back of her hand, looked at her deeply, and called her again in a low voice, "Ah Ke." ”
Zong Zhengke didn't withdraw his hand, and asked him softly, "What's wrong with you?" ”
He changed into a loose stone blue robe, which was loose and comfortable. The fixed black jade crown is tied with a hosta of the same color, and three strands of crystal clear pearl tassels hang down from one side of the hairpin. The tassel swayed lightly, casting shadows on his face. He looked very melancholy, as if he was full of thoughts.
Li Yi lowered his eyes, his eyes swept over a string of dzi bracelets on Zong Zhengke's wrist, and said sadly: "I don't know why, I felt so sad when I saw you sitting here alone reading a book just now." ”
"I like quiet, not lively." Zong Zheng Ke said, "There are too many people, but they are uncomfortable." ”
"That's fine." Because of her words, Li Yi didn't know what she thought, her face changed, and she immediately cleaned up her mood. He smiled and said, "In the future, you can only associate with me, and other idle people can be turned away." It's quiet and quiet, not to mention how comfortable it is. ”
Zong Zhengke smiled, only when he followed his words to comfort himself. Seeing that she didn't care, Li Yi felt a little lost in her heart, and then dispersed her, approached her, and asked quietly, "Can I take medicine this time?" ”
"Hmm." Zong Zhengke nodded and said to him, "I really want to thank you for taking the trouble to treat my injuries." Master Huiku's medical skills are exquisite, and he has already diagnosed me, and my cultivation foundation is much more stable, and I no longer have to worry about collapse. ”
"Ake." Li Yi smiled and said seriously, "In the future, don't thank me again." I'm a very stingy person, and I'm not just anyone, I'm willing to spend time and energy to heal my injuries. I help you, not thank you for it. ”
Zong Zhengke was slightly stunned, then nodded with a smile: "Okay, I won't say thank you from now on." "What she owes him is long gone. Indeed, thank you two words, too vague.
"Then let's go." Li Yi retracted his fingers and held the soft wattle under his palm tightly. When Zong Zhengke nodded, his mind was racing, and the two of them arrived at the medicine space again.
One day in the outside world, ten days in space. This time, it's been a few days since the last time. There is a field of medicinal herbs blooming together, small pale red flowers stand on the branches, the stamens are pink and yellow, attracting bees and butterflies. The two walked slowly towards the bamboo house, looking at the lush scenery all the way, and they were all full of joy. (To be continued.) )
