Chapter 21: Katsuki

Summers in the south are always hotter than in the north.

For Ji Jiashu, it was an ordinary summer night.

The only thing that is not ordinary is his mood.

After dinner, he ignored the shouts of the scholar behind him, and walked out of the courtyard alone and went to the mountain behind the house.

His home is built on a mountain, and unlike other family houses decorated with rockeries, the mountain behind his house has not been decorated in any way, and the mountain forest is dense and primitive.

This kind of construction method is naturally an outlier in the family house, but as long as it involves his family, it is not an outlier, but a mystery.

This mansion was built when his father came out, and there are still many secrets that are not talked about but talked about.

Because his family is special in this country.

But Ji Jiashu has little interest in fame and power, and he doesn't feel that his identity is anything special since he was a child.

Until I got that news a few days ago.

Thinking of the fate that befell him inexplicably, Ji Jiashu walked out of the house, walked into the mountains and forests step by step, found the ancient tree he had liked most since he was a child, raised his head against the trunk, and began to gaze at the stars.

True Yuan circulated throughout his body, and the spiritual veins in the land began to be active, all because he had already begun to cultivate.

Ji Jiashu looked up at the starry sky and concentrated on understanding.

His realm has passed the stage where he needs to rely on stargazing to practice, but when Ji Jiashu can't calm down, he will enter the back mountain alone and choose to practice in this way.

He was trained at an early age and understood that as a son of a family, no matter what happened, he should be as gentle as the water, and he has always done so.

There are often rumors that the fourth son of the Ji family is a gentleman who really doesn't get angry.

Ji Jiashu tonight is still not angry.

He's just a little bored.

He is indeed entitled to be bored.

If someone encounters something that happens to him and can still stop his heart, then I am afraid that he would have become a saint long ago.

What's more, he's just a sixteen-year-old boy.

Ji Jiashu leaned against the trunk of the tree and shook his head, trying to throw out the thing that had pushed him to the forefront these days.

He raised his head, trying to focus his attention on the vast starry sky.

When his consciousness was connected to the starry sky, Ji Jiashu took a deep breath and leaned back suddenly, entrusting all the power of his body to the trunk behind him.

The trees rattled.

The surroundings were empty, leaving only the hustle and bustle of the insects chirping on summer nights.

This is the flawless fourth son of the Ji family, the only way to send it.

"The stars are much more active tonight than yesterday......"

Ji Jiashu, who was concentrating on stargazing, frowned and muttered to himself.

At this time, a green leaf fell from the top of his head and floated down from his starry vision, Ji Jiashu was slightly stunned, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This situation is really in line with a poem.

Very beautiful verse.

Ji Jiashu got up slightly, held the big tree in his hand, looked up at the sky, and sang the verses that came to his mind.

"Qiu Lan Xi elk, Luo Shengxi is down. The green leaves are blooming, and the fragrant flowers are attacking. ”

However, just as his voice echoed in the forest night, the veins of the tree behind him suddenly appeared to glow, and the light penetrated into the soil with the roots!

What's wrong?

The stars in front of Ji Jiashu's eyes suddenly erupted, he was in a trance, a bright star like a jewel flashed in front of his eyes, his palm stroking the trunk of the tree suddenly tingled, and the next moment, he heard an extremely beautiful female voice.

"The stars of the south."

Stars.

Ji Jiashu stared at the palm of the tree he was holding onto, and the lines on the bark were clearly visible in the turquoise glow, converging into his palm.

Then he heard.

The voice of another person that does not exist in this forest.

With the cultivation of a high-level practitioner, he can hear it.

It was the sound of a woman's breathing.

Deep and shallow, very far away.

But it rang in his ears again.

But Ji Jiashu was guaranteed by his thirteen years of cultivation, and there was no breath of anyone outside a radius of 100 meters!

The voice was heard far away, and it was close at hand, and it actually came from the bark of a tree near the palm of his hand!

Indeed, it is the voice of a man.

Who is it?

Ji Jiashu looked around, quietly mobilized the true yuan of his whole body, and tried to speak.

"Who are you?"

"Who's there?"

He didn't plan to receive a reply from the other party, he was not old but his realm was not low, and when he encountered such a strange thing, Ji Jiashu only thought of two possibilities for a moment.

One is the mystery of this world that has not yet been deciphered. Ji Jiashu didn't consider it to be a magic weapon, after all, the most powerful sound transmission magic weapon in the world was only a hundred meters, and it was not as clear as a high-level cultivator.

But his father taught him from a young age that there are many mysteries in this world that even high-level cultivators can't recognize.

Practitioners need to know how to be in awe.

After all, this is a world where there are true gods.

The second is that the owner of this voice is actually by his side, and he hides his breath by means of charms or magic medicines.

But it's also very strange, how can it be so incomplete when it comes to hiding the aura.

In fact, there is one last guess, Ji Jiashu's heart sank.

That is, the strength of the other party's realm is much higher than him,

If that's really the case...... So.

Then he himself has nothing to hide.

Thinking about all this, Ji Jiashu decided to ask the other party what he was going to do first.

There are many people in this world who covet his identity or ability, but he has never seen such a novel form, will this mysterious woman respond......

"I'm here."

Ji Jiashu gasped.

It's one thing to guess, it's another thing to actually hear a person's voice.

Where he couldn't see, there really was a person who was talking to him in a way that even he couldn't see!

His question almost blurted out, and the next moment the voice came again.

The voice was clearer than the first time it was a blur.

The sound is like ice and snow, not so cold, but it has the texture of a clear spring.

She asked, "Who are you?" ”

Ji Jiashu didn't know what he was thinking at that time.

In the end, he chose to give his real name.

If the other party is really a cultivator of a higher level than himself...... Although he was very reluctant, his family name protected him more than his personal presence at this time.

After all, he had such a father.

However, contrary to Ji Jiashu's expectations, hearing his real name, the mysterious existence was only slightly silent for a moment, and then spoke again without emotion.

"Ji Jiashu, good evening."

"Good evening." Ji Jiashu almost stumbled.

It seems that it is also night on the other side.

I didn't travel back in time again.

Ying Baoyue, who was sitting on the treetop of the giant spirit wood, groaned.

She didn't pay much attention to the name given by the other party, after all, she was a person who had lived in modern society for eighteen years.

This kind of conversation where you can't see people, who knows whether the opposite side is round or flat, male or female, and whether the name is true or false?

She used to be a woman with eight screen names as well.

"You know your name, what should I call you?" The voice spoke politely again.

Although she has many names, she is not sure to be questioned when she has the same name and surname.

At this time, Ying Baoyue paused, and a screen name suddenly flashed in her mind.

A name that can never be explored.

Looking at the stone stars flashing overhead, a smile appeared on the corner of Ying Baoyue's mouth.

"I am ......"

Then she smiled.

"Teng Snake."

Teng snake?

Why do you feel like you've heard it somewhere?

Ji Jiashu repeated dumbfoundedly, and the next moment when he finally realized where he had heard it, he held Gu Shu's arm and trembled.

Teng snake?

Eight Beast Gods?
