Chapter 48
After Min Junjie left the Liangyi Palace, no one spoke in the hall, and it was very quiet.
Si Che looked at Qin Jianglan, who was silent, and then at Lin Huaizhu, who didn't know what to say, touched his nose, felt the atmosphere embarrassed and coughed dryly, and said suddenly: "Ah! I suddenly remembered that I still have some things to solve in Yunyao City, so I'll deal with it first, and I'll come back when I'm done, see you later! ”
After speaking, he slipped faster than a rabbit, and he disappeared into the hall before he could react, Lin Huaizhu didn't even have time to take back his hand, so he could only maintain her posture of stretching out her hand in the direction of the door.
"What, you're in Yunyao, something is wrong?"
There was a cold snort from behind him, Qin Jianglan's obviously unkind tone, Lin Huaizhu shrunk his neck, withdrew his hand, smiled at Qin Jianglan, hurriedly poured him tea, and said, "How can it, Master!" If you don't have anything to do, I'll stay here with you......"
The dog-legged appearance when he spoke made Yin Li unable to stand it.
Qin Jianglan glanced at her, took the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, and asked lightly, "Don't you have amnesia?" ”
"No amnesia, no amnesia!" Lin Huaizhu hurriedly shook his head and denied it, seeing that his teacup was empty, he poured a cup busily and diligently, then put down the teapot and sat beside him obediently.
Qin Jianglan glanced at the teacup with his sleeve, did not move, and said directly: "From tomorrow onwards, you will report to Liangyi Palace on time every day, and practice hard!" ”
Lin Huaizhu was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, his face turned white with fright when he heard the bad news, and he hurriedly grabbed his master's sleeve and wailed: "Why, master? Why do you want me to practice so hard so suddenly? Why! ”
Qin Jianglan glanced at her sideways, and said lightly: "I'm going to retreat in a while, I don't know when I'll get out of the customs, according to your physique that causes trouble everywhere, even if you can't beat people, it's okay to run, so starting tomorrow, remember to come to Liangyi Palace." ”
When Lin Huaizhu heard Qin Jianglan say that he wanted to retreat, she was shocked at first, and then when she heard his next sentence, her face darkened, and she couldn't refute what the master said.
Inexplicably, I feel that what the master said is very reasonable, what's going on? Lin Huaizhu was congested for a while.
After she left, Qin Jianglan sighed helplessly, picked up a copy of the regional folk customs of the secular world that Si Che left with him and flipped through it, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, among the three disciples, only Lin Huaizhu worried him the most.
Before he had time to sigh, Qin Jianglan flipped through the book, his eyes moved slightly, looking at the side that made him stop turning the page, frowning, and reading carefully with a serious face.
However, no matter how carefully he looked at it and how many times he read it, the page about the introduction of the Qixi Festival still remained unchanged, and it was written on it that the man gave the woman a hair comb, which belonged to the object of love and represented the meaning of knotting the hair.
Qin Jianglan looked at this page in disbelief, and suddenly closed the book, and for the first time, a confused and helpless look appeared on his calm face, and when he looked closely, there seemed to be a faint crimson.
How can this represent the meaning of love?! Doesn't it mean that the two have a good relationship?
'This prime minister is so handsome, but he came with the little lady in the family? ’
The old man only saw you coming with that little lady, and suddenly remembered one of my old friends. ’
In our country, only people close to us can give each other a comb, which means that the two people have a good relationship. Just now I saw that the little lady trusts you, and the husband is also handsome, and the jade tree is in the wind, so the relationship between the two of you must be very good. ’
Qin Jianglan frowned and recalled what the old woman said to him, and never missed a word.
After a while, his eyes widened suddenly, and he understood that the old woman had misunderstood his relationship with Lin Huaizhu, and he would be very wary of her because the old woman seemed to imply that he had demonic energy, and he didn't think carefully about those words, so he didn't pay attention.
Now that I think about it, it is obvious that I treat him as a husband and wife!
Qin Jianglan guessed that the old woman was talking about at that time might be her daughter.
When she saw Lin Huaizhu and Qin Jianglan walking together, walking together, she probably thought of her daughter and son-in-law.
And the word old man she used at the time was thought to mean that her daughter was no longer in the world, so it would be understandable that she handed the comb to Qin Jianglan and asked him to give it to Lin Huaizhu.
Most of it was because she thought that her daughter would comb her hair when she got married, and it happened to be Qixi Festival, so she put her grief on the comb and sold it to him at the price of a low-grade spirit stone - when he took the comb in a daze, his other hand automatically handed the old woman a spirit stone - and asked him to give it to Lin Huaizhu.
Knowing the true meaning of the comb, Qin Jianglan suddenly fidgeted, sitting in front of the bookcase, holding his forehead with his hand, and feeling very distressed in his heart, this feeling of embarrassment has not been felt by him for a long time.
How can he get the comb back from Lin Huaizhu?
Lin Huaizhu didn't know that Qin Jianglan was thinking about the comb he gave her at the moment, she just woke up today, and after returning to her Luofeng Courtyard house, she sat cross-legged on the couch and poured out all the things she bought on the Qixi Festival three years ago to see if she could use it again.
For her, the Qixi Festival obviously happened a day ago, but three years have passed, and she doesn't know if those things in the secular world are bad or not.
Yin Li looked at all kinds of messy gadgets on the table and was speechless, Lin Huaizhu bought a lot of things, including rattles, windmills, small noodle people for children to play with, as well as hair flowers and hairpins used by girls......
Suddenly, Yin Li looked at one of the things and asked with a very familiar feeling: "The tassel tassel you bought, after all these years, the color can still be kept so bright." ”
When Lin Huaizhu heard this, his eyes swept over the desktop, and he said angrily: "How did you buy this, I made it up myself!" Did you forget? ”
Yin Li was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that there was such a thing, and suddenly scratched her cheeks a little embarrassed, and muttered in a low voice: "Time has passed too long, people have forgotten, so why hasn't your cherry tassel spike faded?" It's still that bright red color. ”
"Because I added the juice of red kite fruit to the thread, the color can be kept unchanged." Lin Huaizhu replied casually, sorted out the things on the table, picked out all the shabby and unusable ones and threw them away, and put away the rest.
Red kites?
Yin Li was stunned for a moment, and said with some taste: "Such a delicious red kite fruit is extremely difficult to plant, in order to replace the faded bracelet in your hand for Qingyuan Daojun, you actually used it as a dyeing material, hum!" ”
Yin Li's favorite food is red kite fruit, so Lin Huaizhu will plant a few plants for her to satisfy her cravings every time she does a teacher's task.
However, the red kite fruit is not easy to grow, and she can only get five or six a month, sometimes she gives it all to Yin Li, and sometimes she keeps one for herself to taste.
There are a lot of red kite fruits used for dyeing, and if you want to get the richness that can be colored, you need at least twenty red kite fruits, Yin Li thought of this, and was a little unhappy.
That's twenty red kites!
But then she noticed that something was wrong, and asked strangely: "No, where did you get so many red kites?" ”
"Just that time, I went to play with Jun Yao, you were lazy, you refused to go with me, you had to bask in the sun in the yard, I just got a bag of red kite fruit from Senior Brother Tang at that time, and I robbed it, and he and Chu Junyao could only get two." After speaking, he proudly gestured to two.
Just when Qin Jianglan was refining Yunli yarn for her, she often went to the Ethereal Peak when she had nothing to do, and bumped into Chu Junyao and Tang Mingqing together many times, and later got a lot of delicious food from them, and the red kite fruit was one of them.
“…… Hum! ”
Yin Li has always been with Lin Huaizhu, almost never leaving, only that time, because she hadn't come out to bask in the sun for a long time, she didn't want to go anywhere, she wanted to bask in the sun, but she didn't expect to be in time to miss an opportunity to eat red kite fruit.
"Eh, no, how did you know that I wanted to replace the bracelet on Master's hand?" Lin Huaizhu didn't care about her snort, but thought of the previous words, and she asked with some surprise.
"You cautious fellow, I don't know you yet? The bracelet you tied for Qingyuan Daojun before was not the daughter of some elder of the Beidou Palace, what is the name of that little girl...... What kind of bell is too old, and now I see that you deliberately added the red kite fruit to keep the color unchanged, and I don't understand anything. Yin Li pursed her lips and said with a little disgust.
"Hmph, I'm just careful!" Lin Huaizhu wrinkled his nose unconvinced, and said, "I gave it to my master, what does she have to pick?" I still want to change it down, and I want to be beautiful! ”
Yin Li blinked, very helpless to her, as if she didn't want to answer, and secretly said in her heart, this little overlord's temper can only be tolerated by Qingyuan Daojun.
The next day, Lin Huaizhu came to Liangyi Palace on time according to the promised hour, and before anyone stepped into the palace, the crisp voice had already entered Liangyi Palace.
"Master!"
"Here we are." Qin Jianglan raised his head and looked at her when he heard the voice, and replied very calmly, his expression was as usual, it looked no different from usual, but in fact, he was struggling in his heart, how to get the comb back, and he also took a lot of thought for this, "I have set up a sword formation in the apse, and your daily task is to find the real sword among the hundred flying swords in the sword array." ”
"A real sword?" Lin Huaizhu looked at the master incomprehensibly.
Qin Jianglan nodded and said, "Only one sword in the sword array is real, and the rest are all phantoms, but although it is a phantom, it is almost the same as a real sword, you have to learn to distinguish it." ”
"Yes."
"That's right." Qin Jianglan said suddenly, "Although only one sword in it is real, and the rest are phantoms, which will not cause wounds when hit on the body, but there will be pain in the place where you are hit, you have to be more careful." ”
What the? Will the phantom sword hurt when it hits the body?!
Lin Huaizhu's whole person was immediately not good, and he looked at Qin Jianglan with wide eyes, with a reluctant face.
God knows that she is most afraid of pain, the previous few times were at the moment of life and death, and the pain in her body had long been replaced by the feeling of death, so naturally she couldn't feel how much pain it was.
However, this time was different, if she was hit by the Phantom Sword, she would only feel a clear pain, and there was nothing to divert her attention from.
"Master, can't you change your cultivation method? Does it have to be a sword formation? Lin Huaizhu asked with a bitter face.
Qin Jianglan paused, knowing that she was afraid of pain, a touch of helplessness crossed her eyes, and said, "Don't worry, it won't hurt very much." ”
Lin Huaizhu looked unbelieving, there has always been only pain and no pain, how can there be only a little pain and a lot of pain.
Qin Jianglan saw her reluctance, so he had to compromise first and said, "I'll let you feel it first, and if you still don't want to in the end, then think of other ways." ”
Yin Li saw this scene in the sea of knowledge, crossed his arms and shook his head, quite disagreeing with Qin Jianglan's approach.
She felt that she should just throw this guy in without saying a word, and not give her a chance to choose.
This practice is not a pleasure, and naturally the harder it is, the better.
Lin Huaizhu heard that the master had already said this, so he had to agree to give it a try first.
"By the way......" Qin Jianglan saw that she was about to go towards the sword array, opened his mouth to speak, paused, and continued, "Since you are trying for the first time, it is better to hand over the storage bag to me first, reduce some weight, and add it when you get used to it." ”
"Storage bags? I didn't have it with me. ”
"......" Qin Jianglan didn't expect to hear this answer, and asked again, "What about the comb I gave you?" ”
"Here we are!" Lin Huaizhu stretched out his hand and patted his chest, and said, "I found that the wooden comb has an aura on it, and I can make it bigger and smaller at will, so I made it into a pendant and put it here, Master, don't worry, I will definitely collect the things you give me, and I won't lose it!" ”
“…… That's right. Qin Jianglan was told that she had nothing to say.
The sword array was placed on the flat ground of the apse of the Liangyi Palace, Lin Huaizhu jumped up and entered the array, as soon as he entered, the periphery of the sword array automatically raised a barrier, enclosing her inside, and in an instant, dense flying swords appeared in the barrier, the tips of the swords were all pointed at her, and the sword body was buzzing, as if it was unwelcome to her, the intruder.
The confrontation between the two parties only lasted for two breaths, and the flying sword invariably took the lead in flying towards Lin Huaizhu, and she also quickly mobilized her aura to avoid the attack of the flying sword while finding the only true sword.
Lin Huaizhu suddenly thought of a question at this time, if he was poked by the only true sword, wouldn't he have to make a hole in his body and be poked out of a hole?!
She was suddenly shocked in her heart, but at this moment, she didn't care about calling Master, so she had to concentrate all her mind on the array, watching and listening to all directions, and she was alert, wishing that even every strand of hair would be used to help her sense the direction of the flying sword.
She concentrated on dodging in the formation, and Qin Jianglan stood outside the formation, looking at the situation inside with some solemnity.
In the battle with the demon cultivator, he discovered a problem with Lin Huaizhu, which had never appeared before, because no one dared to kill her in the Taichu Gate, and she was never exposed.
And it was that fight that exposed the shortcomings of her battle.
In the battle, she seems to be more accustomed to using a hard-hitting and rigid fighting style, but this is a fighting style that hurts 800 self-inflicted and injures 1,000 enemies, and the comparison is to see who falls first, which is higher for Lin Huaizhu than if he wins.
"You said that she was a little girl, she was a spiritual cultivator and not a physical cultivator, and she actually smashed all those phantom swords, so violent......" Si Che just came to Qin Jianglan's side, and when he saw the people in the sword array, he was so shocked by her fierce fighting style that his jaw was about to drop, and he couldn't help but squint, and said with a look of intolerance to look at it, and the fan in his hand also stopped.
The corners of Qin Jianglan's mouth twitched, and he was speechless in his heart when he looked at this scene.
