Chapter Eighty-Seven: Spring is Moving
"Little Nizi, is Chun's heart moved?" a crisp voice sounded in the cave.
Zheng Yan was startled and woke up from her contemplation.
"Sister Zhengyun, what do you say? Zheng Yan said to the Taoist robed female cultivator who had just entered the cave.
"I'm a monk, and if I want to talk nonsense, I'll tear your mouth carefully," Zhengyun said, "I came to you to take it out to you to see something fun." She said as she pulled Zhengyan out of the cave.
"What are you looking at?" asked Zhengyan curiously as she tried to break free from her grasped little hand.
"Don't ask, you'll know when you go. ”
The two of them came to the elixir field in the front mountain, and they could see a group of outer disciples looking at something in a circle from a distance, and some people laughed from time to time.
When these outer disciples saw the two approaching, someone immediately recognized Zhengyun, hurriedly flashed to the side, and greeted respectfully: "Senior Sister Zhengyun, I am waiting for you." ”
The two of them walked through the passage that everyone had dodged and walked to the middle of the circle, where a young inner disciple was beating a demon beast more than a foot long with a wooden stick.
This demon beast with a body like a mink and a rat was snow-white, without a single stray hair, and its bloodstained hind legs showed obvious signs of being broken.
Zheng Yan was a little unbearable, and hurriedly scolded the disciple to stop his movements, squatting down, and preparing to appease the demon beast.
The demon beast saw a pair of small hands stretched out to him, and he was about to bite down as soon as he bared his teeth. Zhengyun hurriedly said: "Zhengyan, you have to be careful, don't be bitten by it." ”
Zheng Yan's hand did not flinch, one hand lightly ** the white hair erected on the head of the demon beast, and the other hand bypassed the open mouth and scratched the jaw of the demon beast. The demon beast also saw that this girl did not mean to hurt herself at this time, so she stopped struggling and let her gentle hands ** her body tremble violently.
Seeing that the demon beast was quiet, Zheng Yan picked it up, turned her head and asked Zheng Yun coldly, "This is what you call fun?"
Zhengyun was a little puzzled and said, "Such a big white mouse can laugh like a child, have you ever seen it?"
"Why did you hurt it?" Zheng Yan ignored her and turned her face to question the outer disciple.
"Hurt it? How can it hurt, it's just to make it laugh all the time, this guy, if you don't hit it, it won't laugh. Seeing that Zheng Yan was not wearing the robe of the inner disciple, the outer disciple replied without the slightest fear.
"How dare you talk to the inner disciples like this! You all know me, this is your senior sister Zhengyan!" Seeing that Zhengyan didn't have the excitement he imagined, Zhengyun was a little annoyed, so he poured his anger on these unlucky outer disciples.
The outer disciples looked at each other, and then unanimously said, "Senior Sister Zhengyan." ”
Zhengyun said to Zhengyan: "Xiao Nizi, if you like this monster, I will give it to you, anyway, it will be roasted and eaten in their hands." Just be careful not to get bitten by it. ”
"Okay, then I'll take it in. By the way, how did it get caught by these disciples?" asked Zhengyan.
"Recently, the elixir of the medicine field has decreased inexplicably, but I can't find out the reason, last night this outer disciple went to the toilet to see this beast, out of the ground ready to steal the elixir, so he called a group of disciples who guarded the medicine field to catch, but this guy ran too fast, it took a night plus this morning did not catch it, just when I passed by here, I used a wooden vine entanglement technique to catch. This guy just laughed and bit people indiscriminately, and these disciples used it to tease, breaking their hind legs for fear that he would run away again. Zhengyun explained.
Zheng Yan looked at the demon beast in her arms, and at this moment it was also staring at herself with a pair of round eyes, her nose kept twitching, as if she wanted to be familiar with the smell of this girl who was about to become her master, all the erect hairs on her body fell, and her body no longer trembled, and then stretched out her pink tongue and kept licking her injured hind legs.
"Sister Zhengyun, let's go back. Zheng Yan said softly.
"Okay, let's go," Zhengyun turned his head and said to the outer disciples: "I want this demon beast, give you two spirit stones, it can be regarded as compensation for its destruction of the medicine field, and this matter is over." ”
The disciples didn't dare to say a word, so they could only watch them leave.
Back in the cave, after Zheng Yan sent Zheng Yun away, she looked at the demon beast that had fallen asleep in her arms, and looked at its bloodstained hind legs, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red again.
"This little guy is really pitiful, he broke his legs just to eat a bite. How can this miserable look be the same as when Brother Shi was back then?" When she thought of Shi An again, Hongxia flew up her cheeks.
"Yan'er, let me warn you again, you have to keep in mind that whatever that kid says in the future, he must have ulterior motives. When Yuan Daozi's cold voice sounded in his head, Zheng Yan was suddenly startled, yes, how did he forget the Taigong's warning?
Could it be that Brother Shi is lying to himself? But why should he lie to himself? What can he deceive from himself? Zheng Yan tried hard to recall her daily every move, trying to find the answer from this little bit of interaction.
After thinking about it for a long time, there was no conclusion, but it seemed that there was something unusual in it. The look on his face when he first saw him, the way he usually looked at him, the way he spoke to him in private, as if everything was different, but as if everything was the same as he had done to those two disciples.
But if he didn't lie to himself, then all this he said was true, but this was very different from what Taigong told him.
Was the sword really stolen by the Qing Ancient Taishi Ancestor? How did he get the secret method of the sect? Was the Yuan Miao Master really imprisoned by the Taigong instead of himself in retreat? There were all kinds of questions, but there were no answers.
Yes, Yuan Miao is a key person, as long as you find him, as long as you understand his situation, you can naturally judge whether it is Taigong or Brother Shi who is lying. But the thought of finding out the result will make her fall into an even greater contradiction, who do you hope is lying? Brother Shi is lying, so where is her heart? Taigong is lying, so how should she face it?
Zheng Yan, who had nowhere to relieve her worries, put the sleeping demon beast on a futon and went to find Zheng Yun, who had just left.
Zhengyun is considered to be her close friend, and when she first came two years ago, she was arranged in the cave mansion where four female disciples of the inner sect qi refining had lived. Zhengyun is the earliest to get started, and her cultivation is also the highest, she takes care of this little sister very much, and Zhengyan is always willing to share with her what she has to say.
At this moment, Zhengyun was talking to another female cultivator about how to catch this demon beast. The disciples of the Qi refining period, especially the female disciples who had not gone out to practice, in their opinion, being able to catch a demon beast with sharp teeth as the only weapon was already a very remarkable "female" feat.
"This is the current owner of that monster. Seeing Zheng Yan coming in, Zheng Yun said with a smile.
"Sister Zhengyun, don't laugh. The guy was already asleep, there was nothing going on left or right, and I wanted to come and sit at home. Zhengyan said with a smile. Although she now has her own cave house, Zheng Yan still prefers to call the original cave house home.
The three sisters laughed and laughed for a while, "I have something new to tell you," Zheng Yan suddenly changed the topic, and pretended to be mysterious: "Have you heard that Master Yuan Miao is in retreat." ”
The two of them were stunned at first, and then laughed, laughing so hard that they couldn't straighten their waists, and tears overflowed from laughter.
"Oh, I said sister, your news is too 'well-informed', Master Yuan Miao has been in retreat for more than ten months, and you are still telling us something new today, it's just laughing to death!" Zhengyun wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said.
"That is, are you stupid to study the formation method, why haven't you even heard of this news?" Zhengfen also smiled.
"Oh, it's been so long, I thought it was just the last few days. Zheng Yan deliberately squeezed out a frustrated look.
