When he was in Yunmengze, Li Chi was different.

Their group of junior disciples are still in the stage of earnestly studying theories and cultivating their foundations, so their daily learning content is carefully arranged.

For example, the study of Reikido in the early morning and the identification of herbs and poisons at dusk are all complicated theoretical courses, which are taught and guided by the lecturers of the sect. Only when these theoretical courses are passed, can these disciples take off their junior hats through the promotion conference and follow the elders of the sect to officially start the path of cultivating immortals.

This process takes about two years.

Li Chi entered Yunmengze at the age of fourteen, and learned these basic knowledge thoroughly in about a year, and also practiced some simple small immortal techniques without a teacher. However, due to the promotion conference held every two years, although he was qualified enough in his studies, he still could not become a full-fledged disciple.

The elders were amazed by Li Chi's talent, and they didn't want to waste his good time of the year because of rigid rules. Therefore, after deliberation, the elders decided to give Li Chi the privilege of practicing magic with his official disciples, hoping to let this good seedling grow into a towering giant tree without hindrance.

However, Li Chi has always been a loner and does not like to communicate with people at all, so he rarely takes classes with formal disciples, and mostly asks the elders for advice when no one is around.

With the name of a junior disciple and learning the techniques of a formal disciple, this is what makes Li Chi unique.

"Don't care." Just as Shang Ci's thoughts were flying, Li Chi suddenly said lightly, "Don't do pointless disputes, you can remember." ”

Hearing this, Shang Ci's eyes widened involuntarily, and then his lips trembled and he burst out of the words, "Senior brother, you, you actually took the initiative to talk to me, I'm so excited!" ”

Along the way, he racked his brains to find a topic, so as not to make the atmosphere between the two too awkward.

Shang Ci loves to make trouble and likes to talk, so it is really difficult to follow Li Chi with such a cold jade pot.

"...... "What's so exciting about that?" Li Chi's eyes were a little subtle, and he felt that the young man in front of him was not stupid. He turned his head and looked into the distance with fluttering eyes, "Let's go." ”

"Senior brother, after I go back, can I ask you if I have anything I don't know?" Shang Ci was immersed in the joy of Senior Brother Li taking the initiative to talk to him, and the whole person was a little fluttering.

"I can't."

"......" is really direct and ruthless enough.

Fortunately, he has been with Li Chi for a few days, and he knows that this human nature is like this, so even if he is a little lost in his heart, he does not show it obviously.

Yunmengze's territory is southern, and the Changming Town that the two of them came to this time is located in the north, and the two places are far apart.

It had been more than two days since they came down the mountain, and it would naturally take two or three days to go back.

"Senior brother, should we go back the route we came?" Shang Ci turned on the awkward chat mode, and the octagonal silver bell on his waist made a crisp sound of "Ding Lingdang".

"Hmm."

"......" Sure enough, according to Senior Brother Li's temperament, if he can answer with one word, he will never say two words.

Shang Ci tugged at his sleeve nervously, and suddenly rushed to Li Chi with a step, tilted his head and said sincerely, "Senior brother, shall we go back by water?" Otherwise, it's too boring, I haven't been on a boat yet. ”

"By boat?" Li Chi frowned, and didn't seem to like the offer very much.

"Take a boat and take a boat." Shang Ci nodded desperately, "Before going down the mountain, I learned a theoretical technique about water, and I really want to try it." With that, he stretched out his finger and pointed to the ferry not far away, and his body was almost jumping.

Li Chi pursed his lips and looked at the ferry, and then searched for all the information about the ferry in his memory, with some faint concerns in his heart.

Although this waterway leads directly to Yunmengze, the large area of water through this ferry seems to be occupied by a local gang of bandits, and the situation is unfamiliar, so you can't go there at will.

And..... Seasickness on their own.

"Senior brother, can you do it?" Shang Ci continued to blink his eyes, and one hand put on Li Chi's sleeve, "I'm so studious, you have to encourage me, right?" ”

Li Chi looked at the salted pig hand on his wrist expressionlessly, and his tone was not salty or light, "There are many bandits in this water. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's early in the morning, they probably are still sleeping." Shang Ci's heart is very big, and his desire to take a boat is also getting stronger. He hadn't been on a boat in half of his life, and now he finally went down the mountain once, and it would be a pity to miss it like this. "And there is a senior brother, if there is a thief who is not afraid of death, the senior brother is just to eliminate harm for the people."

"You've thought it through." Li Chi saw the sparkling surface of the river from a distance, and the sun was gilded with a layer of brilliant gold on it, and the worries in his heart were not alleviated by half a point, "But since the road ahead is good, there is no need to change lanes." ”

The valley in front of him is smooth, the avenue is open, and it is indeed the people who have pumped their brains to think about the waterway instead of taking the road.

"But the waterway is fast." Shang Ci continued to lobby pitifully, "I guess I can get there in one day, much faster than we walk." ”

Li Chi used the back of his head to show his refusal.

Boat? It's impossible to take a boat in this life!

Shang Ci snorted listlessly, and when he saw that he couldn't convince Li Chi, he stopped talking. The two walked one after the other, and Shang Ci saw that he was getting farther and farther away from the ferry, and the regret in his heart became deeper and deeper.

"If only the valley collapsed, or something blocked the road." He muttered so softly that he felt a cold gaze shoot at him.

So Shang Ci's body was agitated, and he immediately lowered his head weakly.

Li Chi saw that this person was honest, so he withdrew his gaze. He approached the valley unhurriedly, but before he had taken a few steps, he suddenly heard the sound of the wind in his ears, and some indistinct sound mixed in with it, which was indestructible.

"Senior brother, did you hear anything?"

"Don't talk." Li Chi raised his palm to signal Shang Ci not to make a sound, and then closed his eyes to sense the strange sound.

Originally, it was just a vague and indistinguishable sound in the ears, but gradually the "rumbling" sound became more and more obvious...... He snapped his eyes open, and his gaze was sharp—a boulder was rolling down the cliff, casting a huge shadow on the two of them, gloomy as a haze.

Li Chi secretly said that something was wrong in his heart, and he quickly pulled the stunned Shang Ci and quickly retreated out of the valley.

There was a loud "boom", and the sand and dust flew everywhere, and the boulder smashed impartially into the place where the two of them had just stood, and happened to block the mouth of the valley tightly.

Shang is messy - he ...... He's really just talking nonsense!
