Chapter 24: Reunion after a long absence
In the early morning of the next day, on the majestic cloud peak, the cliff is shining in a flash, and in a blink of an eye, the clouds and mist of the mountain forest at the foot are dissipated, and the mountains are full of greenery, reflecting the Shennong Villa with exquisite carved eaves.
Li Ji got up early, washed up in a hurry, breathed in the fresh air of the mountain, and was full of energy, then packed his simple bags, put on the Chixiao Sword on his back, came to the room of the senior brothers, and said goodbye one by one.
When he was about to say goodbye to the master, he saw that the door was closed, and Li Ji didn't dare to knock on the door to disturb him, so he knelt in front of the door and said, "The disciple is wrong, I shouldn't have made the master angry last night, please forgive the master! ”
After saying it for a long time, there was no response from the house.
Could it be that the Master hasn't gotten up yet, or hasn't lost his breath, so he is closed?
Li Ji looked at the front of the room a few times, listened for a while, and saw no movement, so he kowtowed a few times, reluctantly left the kamikaze courtyard, and set off towards the Blood Maple Forest.
His figure faded away until the last small black dot disappeared in the Bamboo Forest Garden of Kamikaze-in.
The door creaked open, and the figures of Qifa Daoist and Xin Liu both appeared, staring at the back of Li Ji, who had already gone away.
Xin Liu sighed and said, "I said that your temper needs to be changed, you see how good a person Lao Qi is." After completing the training, he obtained the Nine Heavens Xuanbing Grass and brought back a spirit beast, but what was the result? Hey, the courtyard has been deserted for so many years, don't you think that Li Ji has suddenly become much hotter after he came?"
"Madam, you don't understand my hard work! Although Lao Qi was lucky enough to complete the training, but mortal cultivation has a lot to do with personal qualifications. I'm not going to carve him well anymore, I'm afraid it's going to be scrapped!"
"Of course, what we immortal cultivators value most is qualifications, but I think Lao Qi is smarter than you. I don't even want to look at you with a straight eye, I don't know who s......talked you," Xin Liu lowered her brows, and her face was slightly red.
"Haha......" Qifa Daoist laughed eatingly, looking at the scenery below the mountain, the mountains are green, and the mountain path is winding, and suddenly asked, "How is Lao Qi's injury?"
Xin Liu glanced at him and said, "Since you care so much, why don't you ask in person?"
Daoist Qifa did not answer Xin Liu directly, but turned his back and said earnestly: "Ahem! Lao Qi is not deeply involved in the world, he is kind-hearted, he doesn't know the dangers of the rivers and lakes, and if he doesn't suffer some hardships, how can he remember?"
Xin Liu complained: "Then you don't have to drive him to the Blood Maple Forest, what a dangerous place is that, and you can be ruthless?"
"Since the qualifications are poor, it is also beneficial to suffer more. Qifa Dao Chang's shoulders seemed to shake, and he paused, "You wait and ask that girl to also go down the mountain to secretly protect Lao Qi, and then bring him an evil bead, I don't expect him to kill the werewolf, but he should have more than enough self-protection." ”
"I know that you are not at ease, and you are still hard-mouthed. Xin Liu pursed her lips and smiled.
......
"I haven't seen my mother and Mingyue for a few days, I don't know how they're doing?" Li Ji thought as he walked along the way down the mountain, his thoughts ups and downs, "It's rare to go down the mountain, why don't you stop by and have a look?"
After thinking about it, Li Ji took a deep breath, identified the direction, and walked all the way.
Along the road were verdant flowers and plants, craggy strange rocks, and his figure gradually drifted away, and his vague body was hidden between the winding mountain paths.
Yunfeng is the highest among the peaks of Shennong, next to it is the Twin Peaks Mountain, and the Spirit Master Hall is located between the Twin Peaks.
Shuangfeng Mountain is surrounded by clouds and mist all the year round, thousands of miles of smoke and waves, the bamboo sea seems to be looming, the spring water is like condensing like a flow, like a fairyland, quiet and elegant, fresh and natural, giving people a warm and cordial feeling.
About half an hour later, Li Ji came to Twin Peaks.
"The last time I walked this mountain trail, it took at least an hour, and I was exhausted and out of breath. Today is different from the past, half an hour has arrived, and it is full of strength and calm. Li Ji was secretly surprised, and then a flash of inspiration, "Could it be that he absorbed the thousand-year-old Tarantula Spirit Beast Pill in the Spirit Beast Forest, and his cultivation has improved?"
After thinking about it, the dark luck took a breath of spiritual power, and the two energies were intertwined, shuttling in the body, and where they passed, the meridians were extremely smooth, and the blood was stretching.
He hurriedly stopped, not daring to take his own luck, because except for a little basic introductory exercises, he had not learned other exercises, and if something went wrong and he went mad, it would be terrible......
"Hmph" From a distance, I saw more than 100 disciples in the Spirit Master Hall Square swordsman's swords, neatly aligned, the momentum was extremely powerful, the long sword reflected the sun, a bright and swaying, the sword qi in the field was agitated, and a majestic and vast momentum suddenly spread out, like a solemn welcome gift.
The Spirit Master Hall is worthy of being a fairy sword temple that has been inherited for thousands of years, and the most basic introductory sword technique has such a power, which is really impressive.
Li Ji was frightened by this majestic sword qi and quietly bypassed the square, climbed the fence and climbed into the courtyard, turned a few corners, and touched the main hall of the Spirit Master Palace.
"Look at it, this sword move is going to be so ......" Above the main hall of the Spirit Master Palace, Ruoyun Shangxian is teaching Li Mingyue swordsmanship with his own hands.
"Master, is that so?" Li Mingyue followed Ruoyun Shangxian's steps, stepping on the ground on tiptoe, like a lotus turntable, sword flowers.
"Yes, Yue'er, your comprehension is extremely high, and your progress is very fast, and you really didn't look away as a teacher! In less than half a month, your spiritual power has broken through from the ninth order of the first spirit to the second order of the spirit master, and you have entered the realm of 'spiritual power full body, forging skin and refining bones', I believe that it will not take long for you to reach the third order and become one of the youngest disciples in the history of Shennong Villa to break through the third order of the spirit master." Ruoyun Shangxian was happy in his heart, with a touching smile on his face.
"This is all due to the master's teaching, and the disciples dare not take credit. Li Mingyue hurriedly withdrew the sword in her hand, turned around and said respectfully.
"Giggle...... The little girl's mouth is really sweet...... "If the fairy heart on the cloud is blooming, it is authentic."
"Wow, Mingyue, this girl, her spiritual power has reached the second order of the spirit warrior, what a terrifying existence! My spiritual power is at most the first level of the first spirit, and the difference between me and her is ten levels, I am really ashamed!" Li Ji saw that Li Mingyue and Ruoyun Shangxian got along well, and he didn't dare to disturb rashly during the practice, so he could only look at it from a distance for a few times, and then retreated the way he came.
When I passed the corner, because I was walking in a hurry, I bumped into a person head-on, and when I looked up, it was my mother Bailan......
"Ji'er?" Bai Lan's face was full of surprise and joy when she saw her son who had been reunited after a long absence.
"Mother, how are you doing lately?" Li Ji's eyes were rosy, and when he saw his mother, he instantly let out a hoarse scream, ran over and threw himself into his arms, and the mother and son hugged each other tightly, their faces were full of happiness, "The child misses his mother very much......"
"Well, the people in the village treat us very well, and when I am bored, I help with chores in the kitchen. Bai Lan paused, and suddenly said in surprise, "Why don't you come here in the Kamikaze Courtyard?
"I didn't ...... Master told me to go down the mountain to do some errands, and without further ado, I will take my leave. Li Ji suddenly heard her mother's inquiry, worried that the punishment would increase her unwarranted annoyance after being known, so she casually made an excuse and prepared to slip away.
"Jill ......"
Li Ji was stunned for a moment, stopped, and a chill was already on his back: It won't be seen through, right?
"You were ordered to go down the mountain to do errands, be careful in everything, these are steamed buns made for your mother, you take them down the mountain, don't be hungry." The mother handed over a packet of steaming steamed buns.
At this time, Li Ji felt a warm craze surging up in his heart, his nose was sour, tears flowed out of his eyes, gently sliding down his lips, tasting bittersweet tears, and a smile hooked up in the corners of his mouth.
After saying goodbye to his mother in a hurry, Li Ji walked on the tree-lined path of Shennong Villa with some melancholy, secretly sighing that this is going to the blood maple forest, and there is more than luck, I don't know if there is still a chance to live and return to the villa?
Suddenly, a rose-purple figure came into view, with red lips and bright teeth, skin better than snow, and eyes like a pool of clear water.
"Li Ji, where are you going?" Xiao Ling'er saw Li Ji, her lips opened slightly, she smiled slightly, and her blue eyes shone brightly.
"Huh...... Do you call me?" Li Ji was suddenly stunned by this call, wondering why she came over to say hello like an old friend, and wondered why she had no friendship with Xiao Ling'er?
"Giggle...... We are the same batch of admitted disciples, and we are considered to be brothers and sisters of the same class. Xiao Ling'er's bright eyes revealed a hint of imperceptible strangeness, and her face was full of smiles.
"That's right, only five people were admitted in the Taixu Hall that day, and everyone was there, but I forgot about it. Li Ji scratched his head in embarrassment.
"How are you in the Kamikaze Courtyard during this time?" Xiao Ling'er looked Li Ji up and down, her eyelashes blinking slightly, her eyes were full of inquiry, and there was a hint of concern.
"It's the same old age, practicing, sleeping, eating, and living at three o'clock and one line, nothing new!" What about you?" Li Ji shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be relaxed.
"I'm pretty much there!" Xiao Ling'er's eyes raised slightly, revealing a hint of earnestness, "How is your spiritual power?"
"I'm ashamed to say that my spiritual power is currently at the first level of the first spirit at most. Li Ji lowered his head and said with a red face.
"That's not easy, from zero to one, it's a breakthrough in essence, you work hard! I believe you will succeed." Xiao Linger said happily.
"Thank you, and so do you. In his cold eyes, there was a slight hint of warmth, and Li Ji was quite encouraged.
"Hey...... A natural waste material still talks about success, and you don't pee and look in the mirror, are you worthy?" At this time, Xiao Bao appeared in front of him proudly, covering his mouth and bending over with a smile.
"Cousin, why are you here?" Xiao Ling'er said in surprise with a small pout.
"Ling'er, I saw you talking to this waste material from a distance, so I hurried over to remind you that this waste material is very bad!" He looked at Li Ji coldly, and did not hide the disgust and jealousy in his heart, this kind of vicious gaze made people shudder.
"Why do you say bad things about people like this?" Xiao Ling'er bit her lip and glanced at her.
"What I'm saying is true, this stinky boy is not a good thing, he has a bad character, he is lazy in practice, he is brave and ruthless, he was only punished by his master to the spirit beast forest a few days ago, and now it is estimated that he has been punished for doing something wrong again. Xiao Baojuan glanced at the bite marks on his feet that had not yet fully scarred, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a cruel look shot out of his eyes, showing cold-blooded and ruthless, "This waste material is not a journey with us, what qualifications do you have to stand in front of us and speak!"
"Although I am a first-order primordial spirit, I have never been ashamed of my low level, I will work harder, just like Xiao Ling'er said just now, going from zero to one is a good start. Li Ji's resolute gaze was like two sharp swords, approaching each other.
"Okay, then you work hard! There is only one month left in the Spirit Conference, and then we will see the real chapter in our hands, don't be cowardly, whoever loses is a grandson, hehe......" Xiao Bao smiled darkly.
Xiao Ling'er saw that her cousin's words were becoming more and more inappropriate, so she walked over and pulled his sleeve and said, "Cousin, let's go, don't talk nonsense here." ”
"Okay, it's a word, and then it's time to see who is the grandson. Li Ji's cold eyes showed no anger or timidity, and he looked numb, giving people a strange feeling.
As soon as the words fell, he immediately turned to leave, and his lonely back disappeared alone in two pairs of slightly stunned eyes.
