Chapter 25: The Prisoner of Jingzhong
Rest overnight at an inn outside the city, and in the early morning, with the flow of people from the morning market, enter the city gates. At this point, all five of them breathed a sigh of relief.
After two months of running wildly, I finally reached the capital, and there is still a month to take the exam, so you can find a place to rest and recuperate, and wait until the national exam begins.
"Brother Teng, when I get to the capital, I won't live with a few people. I have a relative who is an official in the capital, and his family can provide me with a place to live, so how about we break up?"
Teng Buyue has no use value for Ji Hai, and after arriving in the capital, Ji Hai naturally doesn't want to live with Teng Buyue, so he will find a way to break it out of his own way.
"I have no opinion, Brother Ji, please do it, thanks to Brother Ji along the way, thank you here, I wish Ji Haineng the title of the gold list! Brother Yi can make arrangements, or live with us?"
Teng Buyue didn't know what Ji Hai had in mind, seeing that he had a place to go, he naturally wouldn't stop him, but he wanted to invite Yi Jiuxiao to live together.
Yi Jiuxiao knew what Ji Hai was thinking, didn't he just take the opportunity to control himself after separation, and he would not cross the line, and he would have nothing to do after he disappeared in the future.
However, Ji Hai hit his idea, he was also playing Ji Hai's idea, and he didn't want to be with Teng Buyue, so he said: "Aha, it just so happens that Wan Gongzi found me a place to live, I am an orphan, I have been idle, so I won't be with you, don't leave it at that, thank you two brothers, I wish you both can be named on the gold list." ”
After speaking, Yi Jiuxiao gave up his hand and left first. Ji Hai was secretly happy, he was afraid that Yi Jiuxiao's death would be difficult to control by Teng Buyue's side, and now Yi Jiuxiao slipped alone, which was also in line with his wishes.
As soon as Yi Jiuxiao left, Ji Hai said goodbye to Teng Buyue, rode a horse in the opposite direction of Yi Jiuxiao, and then chased in the direction of Yi Jiuxiao after bypassing a street.
Yi Jiuxiao rode his horse and walked forward leisurely, he was sure that Ji Hai would chase after him, waiting for him as he walked, and sure enough, after more than a quarter of an hour, Ji Hai caught up and walked with him.
"Hey, Brother Ji, didn't you go to live at your relative's house, why are you still here!" Yi Jiuxiao asked pretendingly.
"Ahem, I suddenly remembered that I still have a deal with Brother Yi that I haven't made, it seems that it is better to live with Brother Yi, anyway, I don't lack the money for accommodation. ”
"Does Brother Ji have a deal with me? What kind of deal can I do as a poor scholar, Brother Ji is not mistaken? ”
Ji Hai's face darkened, and he said angrily: "What we said on the way, do you want to play tricks, don't look at the capital now, it's still a very simple matter to clean you up, you still follow me honestly and do what I say, it's good for you." ”
Yi Jiuxiao pretended to have an innocent and frightened look, stopped talking, and honestly followed Ji Hai, who was led by Ji Hai through the streets and alleys. After walking for two hours, I came to a remote place on the edge of the capital, which was a small mansion with a single family and a locked gate.
Although the capital city of Bozhou is prosperous, it is not full of high-rise buildings and bright lights. Far from the Imperial City, there are still many ordinary houses, which are rife with poverty and violence.
Ji Hai opened the door, and the two led the horse into the courtyard, which seemed to have not been inhabited for many years, the yard was overgrown with weeds, and the doors and windows were covered with cobwebs.
After closing the courtyard gate, Ji Hai tied the two horses to the horse stakes in the courtyard, and then concentrated his breath and used a "trick to get out of the dust". I saw a whirlwind appear in the open space in the middle of the courtyard, the whirlwind was like a dragon snake swimming around in the courtyard, those cobwebs and dust were instantly swept up by the whirlwind, weeds and thorns were also cut by the whirlwind, and in less than half a moment, the dust in the yard was swept away and restored to its original appearance.
The cultivation spell turned out to be so magical, the huge courtyard, mortals may not be able to clean it up in half a day, and the monk solved it in a moment. Yi Jiuxiao can see from this point that Ji Haihui has a lot of spells, and he is not a simple person, so he must not be underestimated.
"This is an industry of my Ji family in the capital, no one has lived in it for many years, in the next month, this is our home, you just need to study with peace of mind, and I will arrange food and clothing." But don't think about it, it's fifty miles away from the imperial city, it's very remote, and if something happens, no one will know. ”
Ji Hai had just received the spell, and when he saw Yi Jiuxiao's stunned look, he couldn't help but feel complacent, and admonished a few words by the way, which also gave Yi Jiuxiao a dismount.
This is his territory, you Yi Jiuxiao is a mortal, even if you are full of talent, you can't escape the palm of the foundation monk, if you dare to have any different intentions, you can crush it in a moment.
Then, Ji Hai pointed to one of the rooms and said, "This is your residence, just pack your luggage yourself." In the future, eating, drinking, and Lazar will be in this courtyard, and I will set up a magic circle in the courtyard, so you don't want to run around, and you can't run out. ”
After speaking, several small flag-like objects appeared in Ji Hai's hand, and with a wave of his hand, these small flags fell to the periphery and corners of the courtyard. Yi Jiuxiao felt an invisible net covering the sky and surroundings of the courtyard, tightly.
This is the magic circle, since he had a divine thought, Wan Shufang has explained to him some common sense of cultivation, and the magic circle is one of them. There are many kinds of magic circles, which are self-contained, according to the different cultivation of the monks' formations, the strength of the magic circle is not the same, if you are familiar with the formation, you will be able to crack it in an instant, and if you are not familiar with it, you can only break it with a strong attack.
Ji Hai said a lot, Yi Jiuxiao didn't say a word, walked to the horse, took off the salute package from the horse, walked into the room and began to clean up.
Before leaving, Wan Shumad wanted to give him a storage bag, after Yi Jiuxiao had a divine thought, the storage bag and storage ring could be used, but Yi Jiuxiao considered that he was not a monk, and it was better to live in a mortal way, in case he was remembered.
There were not many things in the package, just a few sets of clothes and a few books, a piece of jade slip, and more than a hundred taels of silver ingots.
For Yi Jiuxiao's convenience, Wan Shufang gave him some gold leaves and a few gems, which were all in his waist pocket, and if they were exchanged for silver, I am afraid they could be exchanged for more than five thousand taels. Most of the expenses along the way were covered by Ji Hai and Teng Buyue, and he only spent dozens of taels of silver.
Wan Jia has a lot of properties in the capital, Wan Shufang's own home and many relatives are in the capital, Wan Shufang wanted to write a letter to his family to arrange a place to live, but Yi Jiuxiao politely declined, so he could only give Yi Jiuxiao more money. Giving so much money is not only for the cost of this trip, but also for the purpose of settling down in the capital to buy a house after passing the exam in the future.
Seeing that Yi Jiuxiao entered the house honestly, Ji Hai stopped being verbose, led the two horses out of the courtyard gate, and locked the courtyard door from the outside. Locking the courtyard door is not to prevent Yi Jiuxiao from escaping, but to prevent people outside from peeping and entering.
More than an hour later, Ji Hai came back again, and there were no horses in his hands, so it was estimated that he pulled them out and sold them. After all, there is no need for horses now, and they have to be fed every day.
At this time, the sun was already setting in the west, but Yi Jiuxiao hadn't eaten for a day, and he was a little hungry. He is not a cultivator, and after the cultivator arrives at the foundation, he only eats pills and breathes the aura of heaven and earth, and almost does not touch the fireworks of the world.
Martial arts cultivation is different, Yi Jiuxiao is already in the realm of martial arts, but he eats like mortals. Although I can go without food for a few days in a row, I still have hunger and I don't know what will happen when I reach a higher realm.
Ji Hai walked into Yi Jiuxiao's house, and with a wave of his hand, a bunch of things came out, including bedding and some daily necessities. Then he motioned for Yi Jiuxiao to follow him to the kitchen, waved his hand again, and a large pile of food appeared in the kitchen, including rice and noodles, as well as chicken, duck, fish, various vegetables, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
The most outrageous thing is that there are a few bundles of firewood, fortunately there is a well in the yard, otherwise this guy would not even bring back water. Yi Jiuxiao is sure that this guy has a storage ring, not a storage bag, otherwise it would be impossible to bring back so many things.
Pointing to these things, Ji Hai said: "You cook by yourself, I don't eat, and you don't need to call me when you eat, don't bother me usually." If it's not enough, I'll give you a supplement, I'm good enough for you!" After saying that, he smiled sinisterly and left the kitchen, leaving Yi Jiuxiao alone in the kitchen.
Yi Jiuxiao sneered, are you doing this to me? You imprisoned me here, and when the matter is completed, you will definitely kill you.
No matter so much, start cooking. He hadn't cooked since he arrived in Kaizhou, but his cooking skills had always been there, he made a few dishes casually, cooked a pot of rice, and returned to the room after a full meal.
