Chapter 42: Be Honest with Each Other
The cold wind blew from the dense forest, Shao Qi couldn't help but shrink his body, looking at the brocade clothes he was wearing, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional, it seems that this Yin Xuan Mountain is a good place.
It may be that the alcohol is gradually subsiding, and Shao Liang is a little hungry again, but when he looks at his feet, there are already no fish, and on a whim, he remembered the eight skills that Shi Feizi taught before, especially the ecstasy formation used to catch fish, and Shao Liang wanted to test it with his own hands to see if he could catch the fish.
As soon as he wanted to come, Shao Liang immediately got up, found a few fairly regular stones on the bank of the river, and placed them in the water in turn.
"Among the eight gates, go to the birth gate, go to the Du gate, go to the Jingmen, go to open the door, go to the rest door, leave the death door, leave the shock door, leave the wounded door......"
Shao Liang recited the mantra taught by Shi Feizi, and arranged the stones in turn, the effect was not good at first, and some of the fish that escaped calmly, Shao Liang frowned and thought for a long time, and finally under the unyielding will, back and forth, after verifying it many times, he finally achieved the effect taught by Shi Feizi.
A quarter of an hour later, Shao Liang caught two fish, and those two fish jumped ashore on their own initiative just like Shi Feizi did before, and it seemed that they could not stay in the ecstasy formation.
"Haha!
Shao Liang was very happy, he felt that he had lived up to his efforts, so he was also grateful to Shi Feizi in his heart, just from today's little ecstasy formation, this was something that Shao Liang had never heard of in the Shaojia tailor shop in Nan Shaozhou City in the past.
Shao Liang carried the two fish he had caught with his own hands, quickly strung the wooden branches, and began to barbecue with the last embers, drinking Jiang Yousi's wine while waiting for the arrival of the wine.
Time always flies so fast, when Shao Liang finished roasting the second drunken fish, Xiao Jiu happened to appear in front of Shao Liang as if he was in a hurry.
"Oh, did you know that this girl would be here at this time, so you specially grilled the drunken fish for this girl?" Xiaojiu said with a smile.
Shao Liang saw Xiaojiu's innocent smile, how could it be difficult to connect with his undercover identity, obviously everything was so beautiful, but behind it was so unbearable.
Shao Qi also smiled and said, "Yes, it's baked just for you, eat it." As he spoke, Shao Liang handed one of the drunken fish to Xiao Jiu's hand.
Xiaojiu took a few bites very calmly, and then said: "Don't say it, if I were Shi Feizi, I would also sink into this craft." ”
"Oh, why don't you call him a senior teacher?" said Shao Qi tentatively.
"He's not here!" Xiaojiu said lightly: "And Jiang Yousi, his appearance today really surprised me, I really didn't expect him to marry Jin Lan with you." ”
"Huh......? Isn't that your master? Could it be that if your master is not there, you can call him by his first name?"
Hearing Shao Liang say this, Xiao Jiu just pursed his lips, then put down the drunken fish in his hand, his expression instantly became much more indifferent, and then said lightly: "Shao Baitou, don't pretend, can't you see why I asked the two of them to help you cultivate just now?"
Shao Liang suddenly panicked in his heart, but he was not panicked, so he replied tentatively again: "Ah, what am I pretending? But the fact that you asked them to help me cultivate made me unexpected, you obviously ......."
"It's still pretending, isn't it?" Xiaojiu suddenly interrupted in a cold voice, and then stared at Shao Liang like a torch, and Shao Liang felt a little cold on his back.
"I ...... What am I pretending to be me?"
"Hehe......" Xiaojiu sneered: "Shao Baitou, I propose to let the two of them help you cultivate, firstly, to thank you for buying a lot of things for me in Xiliangzhou City today, and secondly, I am here to protect myself." ”
"Self-protection, self-protection, what?" Shao Qi was still holding on.
Xiaojiu then raised the corners of his mouth, and said playfully: "Shaobaitou, it's boring for you to do this." ”
"I ......"
"Forget it, I'll get it straight. As if he had made up his mind, Xiao Jiu interrupted Shao Qi and said loudly: "What did you see in that tavern in Xiliangzhou City during the day? ”
Now, Shao Liang is no longer strong, Xiaojiu has already explained that no matter how twisted and pinched he is, he doesn't look like a big man, not to mention that as Xiaojiu said, since she has proposed that Jiang Yousi and Shi Feizi help her cultivate, then she will not attack herself, otherwise why would she do more?
And the most important thing is that when Shao Liang looked directly at Xiao Jiu's clear and translucent eyes, he couldn't find any fierce meaning from them, but gave people a comfortable and warm feeling, Shao Liang didn't know why he thought so, maybe he subconsciously had another opinion on Xiao Jiu.
"Well, I saw it. Shao Liang nodded, and then drank a bowl of wine to strengthen his courage.
"What do you see?" asked Xiaojiu immediately.
Shao Liang took a deep breath, and then retold everything he saw and heard to Xiao Jiu, but what Shao Liang didn't expect was that Xiao Jiu's face did not change and his heart did not beat, and he listened to Shao Qi's retelling calmly, as if it had already been in the palm of his hand.
After Shao Liang finished repeating, the two of them fell silent to each other, and the four sides were instantly quiet, only the sound of sparks breaking from time to time in the fire, and the murmuring sound of flowing water in the river, and then there was only the sound of cold wind coming from the dense forest not far away.
Everything is fine, but everything is unpredictable.
Finally, after a moment of silence, Xiao Jiu took the lead and said: "Okay, that's right, my name is Lin Jiuwan, I am from the Xiuzhen Sect in Bac Ninh Prefecture, Gradual Pavilion, and the person who appeared in the tavern during the day is my brother, named Lin Qingxuan. ”
Shao Mu nodded and said, "This ...... I've heard it all. ”
As soon as Shao Qi's words came out, Lin Jiuwan said in surprise: "I know you heard it, but shouldn't you be curious, or rather, suspicious of me, and ask me why I appeared on Yin Xuan Mountain?
Shao Liang also followed and said, "Why should I be curious about your appearance in Yin Xuan Mountain, why should I wonder if you will cause damage to Yin Xuan Mountain?"
"Huh......? What do you mean?" Lin Jiuwan became more and more confused.
"What can I mean?" Shao Qi then said coldly: "As for what kind of person you are from the Gradual Pavilion, whether you are from Yin Xuan Mountain, and what purpose you have, it has nothing to do with me, I don't have the heart to think about it, and I don't bother to think about it!"
"But ......" Lin Jiu said, "Since you are from Yinxuan Mountain, when you know that an outsider has infiltrated Yinxuan Mountain, shouldn't you go and report to your sect master Liu Hanxian?
Shao Qi smiled bitterly: "Wrong, I won't report it to anyone, and besides, I'm not Liu Hanxian's person, to be precise, I'm not a person from Yinxuan Mountain." ”
"What? you...... You obviously said that you were from the Orchid Gate, aren't you testing me?" Lin Jiuwan said questioningly.
"Ciao! Where does Lao Tzu have the leisure to test you?" Shao Qi said impatiently: "I might as well tell you, I haven't been here for a few days in Yin Xuan Mountain! I was forcibly arrested by Liu Hanxian......
Shao Liang's words obviously shocked Lin Jiuwan.
"What about you...... Who the hell is it?" Lin Jiuwan said in astonishment.
Shao Liang thought about it, was silent for a moment, and decided to tell Lin Jiuwan the cause and effect, not that Shao Liang did not have a sense of self-defense, but after two days of getting along, Shao Liang felt that Lin Jiuwan was indeed different from those people on Yinxuan Mountain, at least the feelings were different, Shao Liang didn't know why he had to tell the other party those words, maybe because Lin Jiuwan and himself were not from Yinxuan Mountain, maybe it was a tacit understanding in the faint sense, or rather, it was a good feeling.
Immediately afterwards, I saw Shao Liang pour a bowl of wine by himself, drank it all, and then slowly said: "I am a tailor, my young tailor's shop is in Nanyaozhou City, I and my sister depend on each other, but until that day my sister ......"
may be due to the anesthesia of alcohol, or the excessive longing for his sister, at this moment Shao Yu is like a teller, talking about his past, talking about his bitterness, talking about his happy smile, talking about himself.
After saying this, it took nearly half an hour, and while Shao Yu was talking, Lin Jiuwan had been listening quietly, and had never made a sound to interfere with Shao Liang, and unconsciously, Lin Jiuwan seemed to be infected by Shao Liang's emotions, and there was a trace of pity between his eyebrows.
"Until later, I arrived at this Yin Xuan Mountain......" Shao Yu finished the last sentence, and drank the whole bowl of wine again, the wine became more and more intense, but his expression was so calm.
Lin Jiuwan was silent for a moment, and did not respond in time, only listening to the gurgling sound of running water mixed between the two.
Finally, after a while, Lin Jiuwan first coughed softly, and then said loudly: "Shao Baitou, I'm sorry, I ...... I didn't mean to remind you of those painful pasts, I ......"
"Haha, it's none of your business, there's no need to comfort me. Shao Qi interrupted with a wave of his hand: "Lao Tzu has always been like this, I have long been used to it!"
Maybe this kind of lie is only known to Shao Yu himself.
Lin Jiuwan nodded silently and said, "Okay, let's not talk about that, it turned out that I thought you were a disciple of the Orchid Sect, but I didn't expect that you, like me, are not from this Yin Xuan Mountain." ”
"What's so good about this Yin Xuan Mountain?" Shao Qi said coldly: "You should actually listen to your brother and go back with your brother, you are a girl who is alone outside, it is very dangerous." ”
Hearing Shao Yu say this, Lin Jiuwan's cheeks turned slightly crimson, and then he replied, "Me...... I'm fine, my dad and brother are always nosy, and I've wanted to go out and have a trip by myself!"
Shao Qian shook his head gloomily and said, "You still have your father and brother in charge, I want someone to take care of me." ”......
