3. National Teacher

After a night of driving, he finally threw off the pursuers behind him, and when the sky was about to break, Aqing's speed slowed down, and at this time, there were still four days before the time limit of the teleportation array, and it was only half a day's journey back to Crescent Town, and there was still plenty of time.

"Ah Qing is a little tired, there is a human town not far ahead, why don't you go there and rest. Ximen Longjin touched the soft hair on Aqing's neck and said.

Wuxin had no objections, she only held the sleeve of Ximen Longjin tightly, looking satisfied.

Yan Li looked in the direction of the town and frowned slightly.

"What, is something going to happen?" Ximen Longjin asked when he saw that his face was different, knowing that he was very good at divination.

Yan Li came back to his senses, only shook his head, and smiled: "It's nothing, then let's go and rest." ”

Seeing that he didn't object, and that nothing big would happen in the future, Ximen Longjin nodded and stopped asking.

Because the water avoidance of the Qing Beast was too dazzling, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble, Ximen Longjin fed Ah Qing some fairy drinks, and put it into the mustard seed space.

After changing Wuxin's dazzling bloody clothes, the three of them walked towards the town.

At this time, the city gate had just opened, but the city gate was already quite lively, and there were many human monks in the bustling crowd.

Human monks with outstanding spiritual roots have always been controlled by the major cultivation sects, and they disdain to be in the company of mortals, so it is rare for many monks to gather together in mortal towns.

...... Could it be that some treasure is about to be born?

Ximen Longjin thought about it, and took out the spirit stone from the storage bracelet to pay enough for the three of them to enter the city.

Seeing that she was a spirit stone, with a wealthy appearance, the soldiers guarding the city were very surprised, and saw that it was the elder brother who came out with two sisters who were like flowers and jade to see the world, how could it be that the youngest sister was in charge of the accounts?

Look at the little girl's appearance, but she hasn't even reached the end of it.

...... Isn't Mo the eldest lady of a family?

Seeing this, Yan Li smiled good-naturedly and made a helpless expression, and the soldier guarding the city immediately made up for the naughty sister who loved to pretend to be an adult, and the good-tempered brother doted on his sister's loving picture, and his face also showed a kind expression: "But the son got the news and brought his sister to get rid of the fairy?"

"Isn't it? Regardless of whether he understood what the soldier was talking about or not, Yan Li was used to pretending, so he only smiled and answered with his head bowed.

"Because of the presence of the national teacher, there are many immortal masters here today, and a small market has been opened in it. Few people could resist Yan Li's smile, and the soldier defending the city couldn't help but say a few more words in that smile.

Hearing the word "national teacher", Yan Li seemed to shake his mind slightly, and there seemed to be no special change in his expression, he thanked the soldiers guarding the city gently and politely, and then took the two "sisters" into the city.

But...... It turns out that it's so lively because the national teacher is here.

Ximen Longjin was a little curious about who the national teacher was, and he had such a great charm, and this popularity, compared with Yan Li back then, was not far behind.

The city is really lively.

There are mortals who come and go, there are also monks, there are a lot of stalls on both sides of the road, and the things sold are strange, there are all kinds of pills, there are spiritual grass and spiritual mines, there are formation talismans, and there are some broken spiritual weapons.

With Yan Li's vision, he naturally couldn't look at these, but he felt quite novel, and looked left and right slowly all the way, looking very interested.

"I've been in the Hidden Wind Pavilion for so long that I've almost forgotten what the outside world is like. Yan Li sighed, spoke with a deep face, and said, turning around, he couldn't help but have a black line.

It turned out that Ximen Longjin didn't follow at all, she was squatting in front of a stall not far away, holding something in her hand and looking at it, unintentionally squatting beside her with a well-behaved face, and holding her sleeve tightly with one hand.

Looking at the two sisters who are really harmless to humans and animals.

Yan Li couldn't help laughing, who would have thought that these two little girls would be more ferocious than the other......

Ximen Longjin is holding a chain in his hand, the chain is not delicate, it looks a little rough, there is a pendant at the top of the chain, which is not big or small, it is the shape of a beast's head, she always feels that the chain is familiar and tight, but for a while she can't remember where she has seen it.

"Miss has good eyesight, this is what my brother brought out of a mysterious secret realm, and almost explained the whole person there for this. The stall owner was a boy of twelve or thirteen years old, and when he saw that the two little girls in front of him were very deceitful, he said nonsense.

As soon as he said this, he attracted the sideways glances of others, and teased in his heart, this kid is clearly the only son in the family, and where did he come from......

"What's so peculiar about this chain?" Ximen Longjin didn't seem to notice anything wrong, and only asked.

"The spirit chooses the master, this thing is nothing strange in my hands, but maybe the young lady will know the mystery of this. The young man obviously couldn't tell any nonsense, but he still opened his mouth to talk about it, but he was a talent.

Ximen Longjin smiled: "It makes sense, how can this be sold?"

Seeing that she was so easy to deceive, the young man couldn't bear to open his mouth, touched his nose and said, "Miss look at it." ”

Ximen Longjin thought about it, handed him a medium-grade spirit stone, then took the chain and got up and left.

Looking at the sparkling medium-grade spirit stone in his hand, the young man's eyes widened in disbelief, his eyes were straight, he was a native of this town, he opened a grocery store at home, and he was a miscellaneous spirit root with no future, and it was best to go to the Xiuzhen sect to be a miscellaneous disciple of the outer sect, because he was the only son in the family, his parents were reluctant to let him serve others, so he stayed at home to help in the grocery store. At today's event, he saw that there was a lot of traffic on the roadside, so he took a few things from his family's grocery store to set up a stall.

...... It's not a spiritual thing, it's just an ordinary ornament.

Because of the poor workmanship, the chain has been in the store for a long time, and it has not been sold, and it is worth at most one or two silver on weekdays, and now it is ...... I actually got a medium-grade spirit stone......

Spirit Stone ...... Could it be that the little girl is actually a monk?!

Holding this hot spirit stone, the young man's heart began to feel uneasy, in fact, most of the stalls in this area are mortals in the town, and there are no good things, just to join in the fun and coax some strangers who have little knowledge, this is well known to everyone, and he also wants to take advantage of the excitement to sell the old and unsalable things in the store, and it is not bad to be able to recover the cost, who would have thought that he would run into a monk......

Serious monks will not buy things here, and the next street is the serious market, that little girl is so generous, and so easy to coax, eighty percent is the eldest lady from a family of immortals who is not familiar with the world, if you learn that you have been deceived, the elders of the family will kill back...... But that's too bad.

After making up for so much, the young man was afraid of causing trouble, so he couldn't care about doing business anymore at the moment, so he quickly packed up and left.

Besides, after this young man got this medium-grade spirit stone, his mind became active, and he couldn't help but sneak to Fang City with this flying windfall, although he was worried about whether he would bump into the wronged little girl, but in the end he still wanted to open his eyes, but he accidentally got a cultivation method suitable for the five spirit roots, and since then he has another opportunity.

"What good things did you get?" Yan Li asked curiously.

Ximen Longjin shook his head and showed him the chain he was playing with: "I can't see anything, I just feel a little familiar." ”

Yan Li stretched out his hand to take it, looked left and right, and was also surprised: "It's a strange thing, it is said to be a mortal thing, but this material has never been seen, it is said to be a spiritual thing...... There is no aura at all. As he spoke, he couldn't see anything, and handed it back to her.

Even Yan Li couldn't see anything, so Ximen Longjin stopped thinking about it, and casually took it and threw it into the storage bracelet.

After walking around for a while, and didn't find anything interesting, Ximen Longjin noticed that the unintentional expression on the side was a little sluggish, thinking that although he was not controlled by the butterfly, he was still hurt in the end, and he rushed to the road this night, and it was best to find an inn for her to rest for a while.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw that Yan Li was already standing at the door of a restaurant with a smile.

"I just heard from passers-by that this restaurant is very famous, and even those monks with eyes above the top often come, why don't you try it?"

"Then let's try it. Ximen Longjin nodded and walked in with Wuxin.

There are a lot of people in the restaurant, but the visitors are either monks or wealthy merchants, and most of them have their own identities and are not noisy.

"Do you have a reservation for the three of you?" As soon as I entered, a guy greeted me with a smile on his face.

"We just arrived here and we didn't have a reservation. "Yan Li is a sven and authentic.

"There are a lot of guests today, and if you don't have a reservation, you can only aggrieved the three of you to wait for a while in the lobby downstairs. The guy said apologetically.

"It's okay, it's just that my two younger sisters are a little tired, I don't know if I can find a seat to sit and wait?" Yan Li looked at Ximen Longjin and Wuxin with a worried face, with an expression that I am a good brother and I am worried about my sister.

...... Ximen Longjin twitched the corner of his mouth.

This fairy-like temperament is still quite bluffing, the guy really couldn't resist Yan Li's request, and after a while, he set up a table for them in a relatively quiet corner of the lobby, and he was very sorry that he couldn't get the private room upstairs, and Ximen Longjin was speechless for a while.

After finally sitting down, Ximen Longjin asked Yan to leave the Dharma Protector and checked it for Wuxin, the butterfly larvae left in Wuxin's brain had been assimilated, and there was no big threat, but in the end there was still something wrong, Ximen Longjin found a pill and fed her to eat, and let her sleep on her own.

Although the soul is incomplete, the willpower of the unintentional is unusually firm.

Ximen Longjin sighed, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that Yan Li had already ordered the dishes and started eating.

"Why do you have to eat here?" Ximen Longjin saw that there was wine on the table, so he casually poured a glass for himself, but did not persuade him to drink it.

Yan Li is not good at drinking, and rarely touches alcohol, especially outside here, who knows what will happen when he is drunk, in case he provokes a very evil personality to appear, with her current small body, she can't resist it.

"Didn't you say it's famous? Yan Li took a pair of chopsticks and fried coconut white to her, "You try it, although it is a mortal meal, this taste is really worthy of its reputation." ”

Ximen Longjin tasted it, it was good, but Yan Li has never been a person with a good appetite.

There must be other reasons for choosing this place.

But he didn't say anything, and Ximen Longjin didn't ask any more, he only lowered his head and took a sip of wine, tasting it, and feeling a little dull.

"Do you have any plans?" she asked.

"Huh?" Yan Li blinked, as if it was strange that she would ask this question.

"The Hidden Wind Pavilion can't stay, what are you going to do in the future, but there is a place to go?" Seeing his unconscious appearance, Ximen Longjin said again.

"Isn't that something you should worry about?" Yan Li said in surprise, as if she had asked a very strange question.

...... Why did it become something she should worry about?!Ximen Longjin felt that the whole person was not good, was this the rhythm that depended on her?

"Huh, aren't you going to care about me, is it really okay for such a dangerous person like me to leave it outside?" Yan Li asked with a look of surprise on his face.

He had a bad record of almost destroying the entire imperial city because he couldn't control his extremely evil personality.

“...... Have you forgotten that I'm dead?" said Ximen Longjin weakly.

Yan Li was stunned for a moment.

"I can't manage that much anymore. Ximen Longjin lowered his eyes and took another sip of wine.

"That's right...... Also. Yan Li smiled, "How long will you go?"

Although Ximen Longjin didn't say where she came from, Yan Li vaguely knew it.

"Four days. ”

"There's only four days left. Yan Li sighed.

"I asked Lian Tie and Mei Liuniang to take my message and go to the land of gods and demons to find Yuewang, but I didn't want to ...... I don't worry that she is out alone, and I will send her to the land of gods and demons before leaving. Ximen Longjin looked at him, "If you don't have a place to go......"

"Okay. Without waiting for her to finish, Yan Li agreed with a smile, and then bent his eyes and said, "Long Jin is still so soft-hearted." ”

"......" Ximen Longjin twitched the corners of his mouth and lowered his head to drink.

In the land of gods and demons, Yuewang sneezed again.

As he was talking, the atmosphere in the entire lobby suddenly became warm, and it seemed that some great person had come.

Ximen Longjin looked at the door, and saw a woman wearing a power lily and a white wide-sleeved cotton and linen robe coming, fortunately, there were guards in front and back, otherwise eighty percent would be overwhelmed by the enthusiastic crowd.

Rao is in such a chaotic situation, she still moves slowly at her own pace, not fast, not slow, not anxious, and extraordinary, so that everyone who sees her can't help but be quiet.

Gradually, the noise slowly disappeared, and only the occasional whisper was silent.

"That's the National Teacher, is it a woman?"

"Shhhh ”

"What's the matter? Is she very powerful, how does she compare to the sect master of the Hidden Sea Sect?"

"Lonely and unheard, the national teacher is not a monk, she is a person with a great prophecy of destiny, can see through all the past and future, you stand in front of her, she can know your past and present life, when you were born and when you died, what your fate is, it is clear at a glance. ”

"Is there such a god?"

“...... What kind of nook and cranny are you from, and talking to you is a deflection of my style. ”

The man who questioned the national teacher was despised by the man who was gossiping at the next table.

"What's the matter, I'm the boss of the Wang family who lives on the street next door to you, aren't you curious why a big man like the national teacher came to our town where birds don't?"

“...... Maybe it's because of the people in our town?"

"Do you believe that?" the man complained.

"Hmph, the National Teacher has his own reasons for acting, which you ordinary people can understand. ”

"Say it as if you weren't a mortal yourself. ”

As they spoke, the two of them were about to quarrel.

Ximen Longjin was amused when he heard it, and suddenly felt that Yan Li was a little too quiet, and when he looked sideways, he saw him eating the food with a peaceful expression, as if he was not at all curious about the movement at the door, and he was not at all curious about who the national teacher who was hotly discussing in the mouths of the people was.

...... Because it's too normal, it doesn't seem normal.

Yan Li had just come out of the Hidden Wind Pavilion and had been locked up for so long, it was when he was curious about everything in the outside world, not to mention that it was the junior who took over his class that was hotly discussed by everyone.

He used to be a national teacher.

Moreover, listening to their discussion, this national teacher turned out to be a person with great prophecy.

There are also similarities with Yan Li's divination.

No matter how you think about it, I feel that I should have some stories to tell with Yan Li, thinking so, Ximen Longjin looked at the national teacher with some curiosity.

At that time, the shopkeeper of the restaurant had already greeted him and personally led the national teacher to the second floor.

In the eyes of everyone, the national teacher suddenly stopped.

"Master Guoshi, but what's wrong?" a guard on the side stepped forward and asked softly.

The national teacher did not speak, only waved his hand lightly.

The guard bowed his head and retreated.

Because of the actions of the national teacher, the entire hall immediately fell silent, and even the smallest whispering disappeared.

In a strange tranquility, the national teacher actually raised his hand and lifted the soap veil covering his face.

Seeing that face, the people who had just quieted down because of her actions immediately blew up again, and there was a shout of surprise.

Without him, because that face was simply beyond everyone's expectations.

It was a very young and beautiful face, with skin as white as fat, eyes like paint, and a strange vermilion pattern on the center of the eyebrows, which made the whole face look mysterious and dusty.

In a hot and dry atmosphere, her expression was also quiet, as if the whole person had drifted out of the world, and she would not be disturbed by this world at all.

Suddenly, as if she was aware of it, she looked at the table where Ximen Longjin and Yan Li were.

She didn't look at Ximen Longjin, nor Yan Li, she just seemed to be looking in that direction, but Ximen Longjin always felt that she should be looking at Yan Li, and turned her head sideways to see Yan Li's reaction, but saw him dip his fingertips in wine and lightly scratch a wine mark on the table.

Looking at the national teacher again, he had already put down the soap yarn expressionlessly, and under the guidance of the shopkeeper, he slowly walked towards the second floor.

"Don't tell me you don't know her. Ximen Longjin grinned.

The wine mark painted by Yan Li is a hidden charm.

But...... This hidden qi talisman can only hide the breath, how can you not see it when you are sitting here alone? Ximen Longjin remembered the eyes of the national teacher just now, and then sighed softly, such beautiful, paint-like eyes, it turned out that they were blind.

"She's my apprentice. Yan Li said casually, as if in a very ordinary tone.

Ximen Longjin was a little surprised, she didn't think it would be such a relationship, she never knew that Yan Li actually had an apprentice.

"Are you avoiding her?"

"Don't you also hide from your apprentice? Yan Li lifted his eyelids and stuck a knife.

Ximen Longjin silently swallowed a mouthful of old blood and no longer looked for him to stimulate.

Well, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and who doesn't have a rebellious bear apprentice.

"I've finished eating, what about you?" Yan Li put down his chopsticks and looked at Ximen Longjin.

“...... Let's go. Ximen Longjin put down the wine glass in his hand very interestingly, and woke up Wuxin, who was asleep on the side.

After paying for the meal, the three of them walked out of the restaurant slowly.

As soon as they stepped out of the restaurant, the national teacher who had just sat down on the second floor suddenly felt something, stood up suddenly, and rushed downstairs despite the obstruction of the guards beside them.

Because she couldn't see, she stepped into the air and fell down the stairs in one fell swoop.

What fairy wind bones, what temperament dust, what mysterious, all disappeared at once, because of that fall, there were a few more scratches on her face, oozing a trace of blood, looking very embarrassed.

"Master, I know you're here. She spoke, and her voice was very high, but her voice trembled slightly, and it sounded extremely pitiful.

At the door of the restaurant, Yan Li did not stop, still walking forward slowly.

It's really hard-hearted.

"Master, you obviously know that I will be waiting for you here, don't you? Since you didn't avoid it, then you obviously want to see me, why don't you come out to see me?" she seemed to sense that Yan Li was leaving, and her voice became a little sharp.

Yan Li has already gone far.

"Master!"

In the distance, only the woman could be heard screaming, her voice terrible with despair.

The guests in the restaurant and the passers-by outside the restaurant all heard the desperate call, and couldn't help but look at each other.

Everyone couldn't help but speculate that the master of the National Teacher ...... What kind of person will it be?

Because there were guards on the side, although there was chaos around them, no one dared to step forward.

The woman stood up with the guard's hand, and did not bother to wipe the blood from her face, but stood still, her dark eyes looking a little terrible.

She moved her lips and said two words silently.

"Sleepy. ”
