Chapter 15: The Man in Purple

Time flies, and after several rounds of exciting competition. Under Chishui's full attention, the top three in the fighting skills competition were finally produced, and as expected, the man in purple steadily entered the top three and was rewarded with a quality yuan fruit.

It's just that the rewards are not issued now, but must be picked on the quality yuan fruit tree together after the top three of the five competitions are all generated, which is one of the important reasons why everyone thinks that this fruit is not simple.

After the old man in white announced the results of the fighting skills, the next thing to do was the talisman competition.

Different from fighting skills, rune skills do not need number plates, because the venue is large enough, the ten cylindrical platforms have been lowered back to their original positions, and all the monks who signed up for rune skills go to the stage together to compete.

Chi Shui sent Senior Sister Bai Lan to the stage and blessed him from afar, because there were fewer demon beasts on land here, so correspondingly, the skill of talisman skills also declined.

Although there are still some of the ancestors' experience in drawing talismans that have been preserved, there is no material to practice the current monks. It is extremely difficult to improve the skill of drawing talismans.

It is only when Bai Lan is in a large sect and has more materials to refine that his talisman skills will be improved.

Therefore, there are not many monks who have signed up for the talisman technique, Chi Shui looked at the monks in the stands, and estimated that there were less than three hundred.

At this time, hundreds of small square tables were regularly placed on the stage, and this was the location where Bai Lan and the others drew the talismans. Chi Shui was listening carefully to the rules of competition announced by the old man in white.

Suddenly, at the end of her nose, she smelled a faint smell like sandalwood, she subconsciously turned her head, and saw that the man in purple had already stepped off the stage, walking steadily outside the temple gate, and was passing by her side.

Just as she turned her head, the man in purple also suddenly paused, his eyes shot at her, scorching, and the look of surprise appeared again.

Chi Shui was stunned, and the purple-clothed man's gaze was like several sharp and long swords, shooting straight towards her, and the smile on his face was no longer there, which made her feel a great pressure.

It is not the same as spiritual coercion, but an invisible pressure. Her breath was suffocated, and she once again felt that this man was not simple.

Chi Shui was hesitating, how to say hello, in fact, she really wanted to withdraw her gaze directly and turn a blind eye, but the man in purple was really not a person who could be ignored.

Around, some monks had begun to notice this, as if they had spotted his and her anomalies.

At this moment, the man in purple withdrew his gaze, his face returned to a casual lightness, turned around, and walked outside the temple gate.

Chi Shui's ears sounded his voice, "Follow me." ”

Chi Shui was silent for a moment, and glanced at Senior Sister Bai Lan on the stage, seeing that the talisman competition had begun, and it would not be over for a while, she was also a little curious about the reason why the other party asked her to follow, that is. She did not pause, her face was not different, and she walked far behind the other party and walked out of the temple gate.

When Chishui looked again, the man in purple did not go to the resting ground on the right, but to the left.

She paused for a moment, remembering that the other party should be a disciple of the Canglan Sect, and there was nothing wrong with going to the left, but she was not, and it was not good to follow her like this.

The purple-clothed man seemed to have eyes behind him, and as soon as his footsteps stopped, he turned his head, the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, he glanced at Chishui, and continued to move forward.

Just like that, Chi Shui felt ridiculed by the other party. Laugh at her timidity and dare not follow.

She counted in her heart, weighed it, and finally followed again.

Although she didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd, she still had some confidence in her escape, and there was still an instant escape charm left in her ring, if the situation was not right, she would avoid it.

A quarter of an hour later, Chi Shui stopped again, frowned, looked at the back of the man in purple in front of him, and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

At their speed. This way, although he has not come out of the Canglan Sect, he is already very far away from the Canglan Palace, and he has no intention of stopping.

In the surroundings, there are no buildings for a long time, but a barren grassland, untended, the grass is about half a person high, gently undulating with the wind, wave after wave.

When the man in purple heard this, he stopped, turned his head to look at her for a moment, and then turned to walk towards her.

Chi Shui saw him go in his direction, getting closer and closer, only about three or four feet away from her, and still did not stop. She was slightly startled, and with the man's pace forward, she subconsciously stepped back.

No matter who it is, there is a safe distance, and only approved people can approach it. And this man, for no reason, exceeded this safe distance. Move closer to her.

A trace of anger rose in Chishui's heart, and he didn't hide it, his eyes glared at the man, and he was on guard.

The purple-clothed man showed a hint of a smile, stopped, sniffed deeply, looked at her, his eyes were a little complicated, and said slowly: "The fragrance from the soul." ”

Red water is stiff, fragrant? Is it the faint scent of her? After all these years, she has become accustomed to its presence.

And this man. Can he smell it, does that mean that he knows something?

"Can you smell it?" Chi Shui looked at the man in front of her again, he was very tall, his posture was straight, Chi Shui had just reached his chin, the light purple robe, the workmanship was meticulous, the elegant pattern, with the handsome appearance, looked extremely noble.

However, the most important thing is that the scent of sandalwood that she smelled before reappeared, was it actually emanating from this man?

Ordinary cultivators, how can they use incense, it is too late to restrain their own breath. What about the sandalwood on his body?

She remembered that the last time they met, he didn't have that scent on him. And now it is, and that's what it got later.

How did you get it? Is it the same as her being stabbed by the soul incense?

She couldn't ask a series of questions in her heart, so she could only look straight at him, hoping that he could give an explanation. After all, knowing the origin of this fragrance, she can find a way to get rid of it, otherwise, she won't even sleep at ease.

Her heart was anxious, but the man in purple was very relaxed, his eyes seemed to scan, from head to toe, and back again, looking at her very carefully, as if he wanted to imprint it in his mind.

The anger in Chishui's heart rose by two points, and she was about to speak again, when she saw the other party meet her angry eyes, and said calmly: "Double cultivation with me!" ”

There was a loud bang in Chishui's head. That string called sanity broke in an instant, double cultivation? Is it the double cultivation she knows?

Why did she want to double cultivate with him? How many times have they met? She doesn't even know what his name is, okay? There won't be a problem with this person's spirit, right? It looks like a human being, but who knows what it's like inside?

Chi Shui felt that they might not be in the same country, and they might not be able to understand it in words. After taking two deep breaths, she gave up the idea of asking the other party about the soul stabbing incense, turned around, and walked back.

She decided, it's better to go back and watch Senior Sister Bailan's competition. Talking to this kind of person may just be a waste of time.

She had only taken two steps back, and the other party made a quick move in front of her, blocking her way. Chi Shui paused, glaring at him with anger in his eyes, "Get out of the way." ”

The man shook his head, "Don't you want to know where your fragrance comes from?" ”

Seeing that the expression on Chishui's face changed slightly, he smiled and said slowly: "Listening to your question just now, it seems that you don't know the origin of this fragrance?" ”

Chi Shui was undecided, she wanted to know, because she had been grinding for several years, but she had not found any information, except for herself, and she had not found that anyone else could smell it, this man in purple was the first.

However, this man is one of the few people who can make her feel dangerous, very aggressive, although he has tried his best to restrain her, he still makes her whole body tense and dare not relax a bit.

Chi Shui took another step back, looked at him, and asked, "Are you willing to say?" ”

The man nodded, "In exchange for it, you want to help me solve something, how about it?" ”

"What's that?" Chi Shui was surprised, they didn't know each other, how did he know she could?

The man looked around, looked at her meaningfully, and said jokingly, "I don't mind if you want to look here." ”

The corner of Chishui's mouth twitched, this barren grassland, no matter how you look at it, looks like a place where those lovers have a tryst, as long as you squat down, you can't see anything.

And he, however, was the one who said he didn't mind.

He doesn't mind, she does! Chi Shui glared at him and said coldly, "You lead the way." ”

The man shrugged his shoulders, with an expression that he had already known, and when he saw Chishui's face change, he immediately jumped forward and continued to lead the way.

Chi Shui stared at his back and paused for a few breaths before catching up.

After another half hour or so, the man finally led her to a hexagonal pavilion halfway up the mountain. This place is very desolate, and even the pavilion has experienced many years of wind and frost, and the paint has faded and decayed.

In that pavilion, there was a crude square stone table, surrounded by four stone benches, of rough shape. Next to the gazebo, there is a hundred-year-old tree, with lush branches and leaves, blocking a corner of the pavilion, some of the withered leaves fall with the wind and spread on the ground, and some fall on the top of the pavilion, even in the pavilion, there are traces of them.

The man in purple walked up, his sleeve gently brushed over the fence of the gazebo, and sat on it casually, one arm lightly resting on the fence, not at all afraid that the rotten wood would not be able to withstand his weight and be crushed.

Chishui walked into the pavilion, looked out, the field of vision was quite broad, the scenery in the distance came into view, the breeze was blowing in the face, it was a little pleasant.

But she was not in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery now, she sat casually on a stone bench opposite the man, her face slightly gloomy, and looked at the other party.

"Don't worry! No one will come here. The man seemed to be explaining, "No matter how powerful the spiritual sense is, it can't penetrate it." ”

When Chishui heard this, he was a little suspicious, and looked around again, but did not find anything abnormal.

The man took her expression in his eyes and smiled, "You magnify your spiritual sense." ”

Chi Shui was surprised in her heart, her spiritual sense had already been placed at the level of an ordinary Jindan stage monk, how did the other party know that she was hiding something?

But she saw that the man was only smiling, and she didn't intend to explain, so she suppressed her doubts in the bottom of her heart, and just really continued to probe her spiritual sense.

"Huh?" Spiritual consciousness is actually blocked? Chi Shui couldn't help but make a sound, she had walked all the way just now, but she didn't find anything unusual.

In the distance, there is actually a transparent wall of light, which completely isolates this mountain, and the inner spiritual consciousness cannot be reached, it is estimated that the man means that the external spiritual consciousness does not want to enter.

She didn't know how this man activated the magic circle. In her heart, she became even more vigilant, and her wariness against this man was raised to the highest point.

Chi Shui withdrew his spiritual sense, and only after his face returned to calm did he ask, "Can you say it now?" ”

The man shook his head, flipped his hand, and a small square box about two inches in size appeared, and with a slight push, he pushed the small square box in front of Chi Shui, "You take a look at this first." ”

Chi Shui was shocked, the first time she saw the small square box, she knew that this was another unusual item, it didn't look like a box, but it seemed to be made of purple wooden blocks of different shapes.

Purple wood? Chishui thought about it for a while, but he had never heard anyone talk about it, and he had never seen a record in the book.

The wooden blocks are very small, closely connected, and there is only a thin silk thread in the place where they are spliced, and those gaps form different patterns, which look like they have been carved out of the woods.

Chi Shui glanced at the man again, then stretched out his hand to pick it up and look at it carefully. This small square box is extremely heavy, I don't know if it's the heavy items inside or the purple wooden block is doing tricks.

She carefully observed the six sides of the small square box, and the patterns formed by those gaps were different from each other. But she didn't see what it was.

It seems that it is just a bunch of meaningless patterns. But Chishui always felt that those patterns were not simple, and perhaps, the key hint to unlock the small square box was hidden in it.

Chi Shui had seen every side, and if she wanted to unravel it, she had to grind it carefully, she looked at the man again and asked, "I'll untie this, and you will tell me, where the fragrance comes from?" ”

The man replied casually, "The formation skill you signed up for is at the end, there are still nine days, if you can unravel this small square box within this time, then I will tell you some things I know about this fragrance." ”

Chishui frowned slightly, he even knew that she had reported the formation skills, which made her even more puzzled, but she couldn't ask, even if she asked, the other party might not necessarily say.

"Why the Nine Days?" If the time limit is set, she is not too sure.

The man blinked, nonchalantly, "That's challenging, isn't it?" ”

"However, if I can unravel it, you must not only tell me about the fragrance, but also tell me how you know that I have reported the battle skill." ”

In front of him, she was like a transparent person, and it seemed that he knew everything about her, which made her very uneasy.

When the man heard this, a smile spread across his face, "Okay." ”

Chishui Fox stared at him suspiciously, she always felt that he had agreed too quickly, and there seemed to be something wrong.

The man put on a very innocent expression, Chi Shui didn't see a trace of abnormality, helpless, she had to lower her head and began to study the small square box.

After a few hours, Chi Shui couldn't bear it anymore, raised his head again, and glared at the other party angrily, "How long do you want to watch?" ”

Is he finished? She is ordinary-looking, what's there to look at? Let him watch it for several hours without getting tired. Could it be that his purpose in doing this was to interfere with her so that she could not concentrate on solving the small square box?

"Actually, I found that although you don't look very good, you're still quite attractive, and I haven't gotten tired of looking at it yet." The man replied solemnly, not at all embarrassed.

Chi Shui's hand holding the small square box tightened, she knew what she looked like, and she didn't need him to emphasize. She lowered her head again and continued to study, the best way for this kind of person is to turn a blind eye.

The man didn't know what he was thinking, but he still looked at her from time to time, and that look was really impossible to ignore.

I don't know how long it took, the man's voice sounded again, "You like Fang Rui?" ”

The red sailor was stunned, a little inexplicable.

The man continued, "If you didn't like him, why did you follow him all the time last time?" ”

Chishui pursed his lips, his face sank slightly, glanced at him, and said angrily: "What's the matter with you?" ”

"It wasn't my business, but now it's my business." The man seemed a little helpless, he saw Chi Shui's expression of not understanding, and did not explain, but asked, "What do you think of me?" ”

"How's that?" Chishui felt as if something was changing, and she didn't know it.

"How about being your dual cultivation partner?" The man was still the same as before, not the slightest bit embarrassed.

Chi Shui stared at his face, obviously his cheeks didn't look thick, how could he say such a thing without changing his face? The anger in her heart rose again, "Are you kidding? ”

"No, I'm serious." The man looked serious, and if he hadn't noticed that his hand on the fence was unconsciously tapping on a piece of rotten wood.

"I don't see it." Chi Shui didn't want to pay attention to him, so he was about to bow his head to study again, but suddenly, she paused, looked at him again, and asked, "Have you ever been to the dark market near Wandanmen?" ”

The action of him knocking on the wood immediately evoked Chishui's memories. The reason why she remembered it was that none of the people she had met had such a habitual movement, except for the man who was sitting next to her in the dark market.

"Did you guess?" The man was slightly surprised.

Chi Shui's pupils shrank when he heard this, and his eyes shot at him, "How do you know about me?" "Even if he had been to the dark market near Bandanmen, he would not necessarily know her. But when he said this, it means that he knew who she was at that time.

The corners of the man's mouth stiffened slightly, and he said perfunctorily: "Wait until you untie the small square box." In his heart, he couldn't help but sigh, in this world, smart women are not easy to mess with!

Chi Shui dug at him fiercely, and took a deep breath, she was not in a hurry, what she needed to do now was to untie the small square box first...... . . .
