Chapter 24: The Barking of the Dog (Part 1)
After leaving the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, Jiang Ming returned to his residence, sat cross-legged in the courtyard and continued to condense the aura in his body.
At this time, he felt that almost half of his spiritual power had been transformed into a white mist, and the coldness between his gestures was no longer as energy-consuming as before.
Every time the ice silkworm exhales in his spiritual sea, his mist will be one point more, and the ice silkworm will also gain a point of weight, this little guy wants to smoke a big cigarette every time he swallows, and he can't be comfortable. Let Jiang Ming make Jiang Ming very doubtful that the aura in his body is a great supplement for him.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the sun is setting, Jiang Ming opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbidity.
Yesterday, I forgot to buy some food with Li Ziting, and when I came back in the afternoon, I was busy practicing, and I left this matter out of the clouds.
When this woman saw that she was coming back, she didn't say a word, didn't she know what to call after being hungry for a day?
Pushing open the door, I saw Li Ziting still reading there, a candle on the table, a bowl of clear spring, and a book she was reading.
The woman didn't seem to see Jiang Ming pushing the door in, still concentrating, a wisp of green silk fell quietly, floating gently with the evening breeze outside the door.
To be honest, Jiang Ming was a little stunned, he hadn't seen a beautiful woman, but he had never seen a woman like the kind of classical and gentle woman that was depicted in the book.
In his original era background, there was no longer any three obedience and four virtues, and the status of women was also greatly improved. Of course, it is not that Jiang Ming discriminates against women, but when you experience a lot of beauty, it is inevitable that you will have a longing for another beauty that you don't know.
Jiang Ming coughed lightly, and Li Ziting heard a sudden sound in the room, and her body trembled slightly. Somewhat flustered, he got up from his chair and said, "You're back." ”
"You don't have to be so polite to me, I told you you weren't my maidservant, you and I don't have to. ”
"The concubine didn't dare. ”
Li Ziting didn't dare to look into Jiang Ming's eyes when she spoke, of course she knew that the person in front of her was only fourteen or fifteen years old, even if he was a cultivator, he was just a child. But after going through that kind of thing, he simply had a fear from the depths of his soul for the cultivators.
Jiang Ming didn't care about her discomfort, and continued: "Yesterday I said that I would buy some food for you, but I accidentally forgot it, it's better to be like this, it's almost time to put food in the canteen in the evening, you go with me, and then we go down the mountain to buy some things, how about it?"
"Childe said that I would go out, and I was afraid that it would cause some panic. ”
Li Ziting didn't have the slightest pretentiousness when she spoke, but in Jiang Ming's eyes, there was an indescribable feeling, maybe human nature would love and protect the weak more, whether they were right or wrong.
——
"This woman is really pitiful, obviously so kind, but she has encountered this kind of thing, you say yes, good!"
"Who are you?"
"I am ignorant of sympathy, and I feel as sorry for this woman as you are. ”
"You're sympathetic? I've never seen you before. ”
"He had this emotion in his heart, and I came with it, otherwise how do you think you came here. ”
"Well, you're right. ”
"Are you the only one in this nothingness, good? ”
"There's also a nasty guy, I don't know where he's hiding, but I know he's going to come back. But now that you're with me, do you believe me? ”
"Yes, good, I only believe in you, because the first thing I saw was you. ”
——
"It's okay, it won't make a difference if you go out with me. ”
Li Ziting nodded lightly, there were only four words in her heart, resigned to fate.
The sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk.
At this time, only a trace of afterglow can be seen on the mountain, the second is on the stone road, Jiang Ming is in front, and Li Ziting is behind.
He didn't go fast, and she struggled to follow.
After all, she is the eldest lady who does not leave the gate, even if the bluestone road that has been repaired is already very smooth, but in his eyes, it is similar to the rugged mountain road.
Half of the time for the meal had passed, and the inner disciples should have eaten almost enough, and Jiang Ming chose to come out at this time because he didn't want to cause trouble.
On the way, he met Liu Zhe, and when he saw the woman following Jiang Ming, Liu Zhe was stunned for a moment, and then there was a hint of realization in his eyes.
"This is the talented girl of the Mingwen Academy?" Liu Zhe asked in a low voice.
Jiang Ming felt that it was no big deal, and said calmly: "Well, her name is Li Ziting, and something has happened, so stay by my side for the time being." ”
"This girl is indeed a good billet for the furnace, and the junior brother is blessed. ”
Jiang Ming didn't say anything, and Liu Zhe didn't feel that he touched his nose, so the three of them continued to walk towards the cafeteria.
The road naturally attracted a lot of attention, everyone was whispering, but everyone was a disciple of the outer sect, and I heard that this person had a seven-grade realm, so no one dared to say anything out loud. Jiang Ming also turned a deaf ear to these small discussions.
Li Ziting walked behind, her hands kept tugging at the corners of her clothes, and her silver teeth were clenched. She didn't hear what they said, but she vaguely heard a few words. Among them are sensitive words such as Wang Shang and being played.
She is a talented woman, and the content of this conversation can be imagined. She stopped unconsciously.
Jiang Ming also seemed to notice the abnormality, turned his head and looked at her.
Li Ziting didn't know how much courage she mustered, for the first time in so many days, she raised her head and looked directly at Jiang Ming. It's just that her face is pale, and her lips are a little broken by herself. Jiang Ming couldn't tell what it was like.
What did he think she was going to say, would she cry, would she be aggrieved, or would she be angry?
But none of this happened, and she quickly adjusted her emotions, lowered her head, and continued walking. This time she walked in front and he walked behind.
"What's the matter?
Jiang Ming shrugged his shoulders and still didn't answer.
When he arrived at the dining hall, Jiang Ming served two plates of food, which made the cultivators in the logistics department a little annoyed. It is clearly stipulated that one person will eat one meal, and this guy will eat two meals, after all, it doesn't matter if he eats more.
But he didn't even say hello, and so consciously took two meals, which made him a little annoyed.
The cultivator who was cooking knocked on the rice bowl vigorously and said, "This junior brother, according to the rules of our canteen, one person can only make one meal, don't you take too much?"
At first, Jiang Ming didn't hear what this person was talking about, he had already prepared and was ready to find a seat. But Li Ziting touched him and signaled that someone was talking to them.
Jiang Ming then turned his head and grinned and said: "Senior brother, don't blame, it was the junior brother who negligently forgot to say hello to you, this is the little junior sister who just came to the outer door, the first time she came, she didn't understand the rules, so I helped her get one." ”
"Little junior sister, how do I think he is just a mortal, junior brother, it's not good to open his eyes and talk nonsense. ”
Jiang Ming's eyes changed slightly, and a sneer appeared in his heart. It seems that this guy is finding fault.
But the smile is still undiminished, "Senior brother said with a smile, how can everyone who comes to the outer gate have skills, then there is no step-by-step cultivation, you say yes." ”
It's noisy and noisy here, and most of the outer disciples are also watching the excitement, mainly in the same outer door, and it's not good to talk about cool things. Of course, it's impossible for you to get them to open their mouths to help.
The canteen is only subordinate to the logistics department, but there is a lot of oil and water, and the meals are spiritual food, and the auxiliary materials in it may also be some precious herbs. The task of the outer disciples is mostly to lick the blood from the knife edge, or to hurt the foundation, if they can have the help of these external objects, their skills will naturally increase instead of decreasing. So they won't be heroes who roar when they see injustice on the road.
It's just that at this time, a domineering voice came from outside the door.
"Stay out of the way, stay out of the way, who is making a noise here, disturbing my uncle's dinner. Huh?"
Jiang Ming's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw the person coming.
It seems that it's not just as simple as finding fault, it's premeditated and organized, but I didn't expect this trouble to come as soon as this woman went out. The outer door doesn't seem to be ironclad.
Jiang Ming squinted and looked around at the people present, his eyes slowly became cold, and a cold air quietly came out of his body.
Who is the one who came? It was the inner disciple who had half of his tongue torn off on the first day.
