Chapter 15: The Night Detective
The light was fleeting, and in the blink of an eye, even on the third day, the sky had slowly darkened......
In the forest on the side of the Green Peak stood a dilapidated-looking hut. There was no plaque on the door, and it looked like it was, but it must have been around for years.
The body of the hut had cracked several long and deep cracks, and in some places the walls had completely peeled off, revealing brownish-red bricks and tiles, which stood out in the twilight of the twilight.
This room is covered by layers of forest leaves, and there is a faint blue and black light wafting out from it, which makes it even more mysterious. It turns out that this is the small ancestral hall of Qingming Peak, which has been built since the beginning of the establishment of the Xuyun Gate, and it enshrines the ancestors of the Sanqing and Xuyun Gate at the beginning of its establishment.
The small ancestral hall is the same as the ancestral hall of Tianling Peak, which is an extremely sacred place. Most of the time, only the disciples of the hall are guarding here, and the patrol is strict, if there is no Qingyuan Shangxian's golden phoenix jade plate, even if it is the head of the Xuyun Sect, it is not allowed to enter at will, and ordinary people will not patronize here.
- But except for the disciples who were punished.
Xu Xingchen is one of them.
In the dim and narrow inner hall, the blue-black light continued to shine, only feeling a little gloomy, and the cold air was close to my heart.
I saw Xu Xingchen kneeling alone in front of the statue of Sanqing to guard the spirit, although it was only two days, he felt dizzy and tired. When he was growing his body, he ate a lot of food on weekdays, but now he was so hungry that it seemed like the sky had fallen, and he could barely support himself by drinking a lot of water.
The wind stopped, the clouds stopped, and the stars swirled around in front of you.
It's only been two days, will I be alive for a few days?
Xu Xingchen thought about it, and the loss and helplessness immediately filled his entire heart. Hopeless, he only felt that his head was even heavier, as if he was about to fall.
Who can come to my rescue?
Xu Xingchen sighed weakly in his heart, but he also knew in his heart that he could only hold on so strongly, and his eyes closed slightly......
"Stars!"
Just as he was in despair, a girl's voice suddenly came from behind him, although it was extremely soft, but it could be heard clearly. Xu Xingchen's eyes opened suddenly, and his heart trembled, only to feel that he must have had auditory hallucinations, and closed his eyes again.
"Hey, Xu Xingchen, why don't you ignore people, don't kneel to death, right?"
Then, the light voice came again.
When Xu Xingchen heard this familiar tone, he turned his head in surprise as if he suddenly had strength. I saw a beautiful girl in Tsing Yi standing in the shadows, smiling all over her face, and carrying a rice bowl full of food in her hand.
"Senior Sister Yiqiu!"
Xu Xingchen was extremely surprised, immediately recovered his spirits, and shouted happily at once.
The girl's face suddenly tightened, and she looked around with a look of panic, and saw that there was no one around, then she relaxed slightly, and said in a soft voice: "Hey, what are you shouting, be quiet! Don't be heard!"
Xu Xingchen realized that there was something wrong with his behavior just now, scratched his head embarrassedly, and looked this beautiful and lovely girl up and down again, and when he confirmed that it was Yiqiu, he continued: "Senior Sister Yiqiu, why did you come to this small ancestral hall?"
"Yesterday morning, my master and the three statues went down the mountain to retreat, and they didn't come back until half a month later. Yaoxiang Valley is not far from the small ancestral hall, and after I heard that you were punished, I secretly came to visit you!"
Yiqiu said slightly.
"Thank you, Senior Sister!"
Xu Xingchen's heart was full of emotion, and tears couldn't help but welled up in his eyes, and said.
"Thanks for what. Yiqiu was lively, continued to smile, waved his hand, and said, "But don't tell anyone about me coming to see you, I came to see you this time, but I came secretly at the risk of being discovered, and even my sister didn't know." If you say that I will be punished, you don't want to have a good life!"
"Yes, Xingchen understands!"
Xu Xingchen nodded vigorously, the warmth in his heart only increased a little, and he only felt a watery tenderness flowing through his heart.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, you have lost so much weight, you don't even need to lose weight!" Yiqiu looked at Xu Xingchen's cheeks, only to feel that there was a lot less flesh on his face, and his heart was full of concern, but he still showed a poisonous tone.
"I'm fine, senior sister!" Xu Xingchen said, but his mind suddenly dizzled, and he suddenly felt the world turned upside down.
How did Yiqiu know that Xu Xingchen was so uncomfortable at the moment, he just nodded, stretched out his hand, and handed the bowl in his hand to Xu Xingchen, and said, "Oh, here you go, this is the first time I have cooked it myself according to the recipe, so let's finish it quickly!"
But seeing that Xu Xingchen was slightly startled, he hurriedly pushed the rice back and said, "Senior sister, Master doesn't allow me to eat!"
Yiqiu looked at his expression and laughed: "What, are you afraid that I will be poisoned?"
"Don't dare. Xu Xingchen hurriedly hugged his fists.
"Hehe, that's when I heard me say that this is my first time cooking, I'm afraid that my cooking will be unpalatable, so I won't eat it, right?" Yiqiu said with a smile on his face, "I tasted it, it tasted good, and it won't kill you." ”
Xu Xingchen shook his head and said, "No, senior sister, thank you for your kindness, but I really can't eat it!"
"Oh, what are you afraid of, didn't I say it, Uncle Qingyuan, my master and the head of the sect went to retreat at the bottom of the mountain together, and they can't come back for a while, don't be afraid!" Yiqiu said with a smile and pushed the meal over again.
After hearing this, Xu Xingchen looked frightened, shook his head again and again, and said, "Senior sister, no matter what, I can't disobey Master's words and make the old man worry." ”
In the next second, Yiqiu suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly, and angrily reproached: "You dead-eyed, why don't you know how to be flexible at all, you only know how to listen to Master's words and listen to Master's words all day, and always think about 'not letting Master worry'! But you don't want to think about it, if you get sick this time, or starve to death, wouldn't that make him worry even more?"
After Xu Xingchen heard this, he lowered his head and thought about it, but he still didn't take the job in Yiqiu's hand.
"Xu Xingchen, do you eat or not?"
Yiqiu saw Xu Xingchen grinding and chirping like this, and suddenly became even more annoyed and said angrily.
"Master, how could he worry about me......"
Xu Xingchen lowered his head and muttered, his eyes full of loss.
"You idiot, why doesn't your master care about you?!"
Yiqiu was even more angry, and said with hatred, feeling that Xu Xingchen must be hungry and stupid. Immediately, he suddenly softened his heart, his tone returned to calm, and he handed the meal to Xu Xingchen again, and said, "Even if it's not for your own body, for Uncle Qingyuan, for your mother, and for those of us who are worried about you, you can eat some." What's more, if you don't eat it, these meals will be wasted, so don't let me down!"
After Xu Xingchen heard this, he took the bowl and ate it in a big gulp. He had been hungry for a long time, and suddenly he felt that this ordinary meal was so delicious, and he ate it all in one go, and his stomach was immediately full for seven or eight points.
Yiqiu looked at him and smiled slightly, only feeling infinitely happy and satisfied in his heart.
"I'm done. Is it delicious?"
"Well, it's delicious, thank you, senior sister!"
Xu Xingchen wiped his mouth and praised with a smile. After Yiqiu heard this, pride suddenly surged into his heart.
"Bang-"
Just as Xu Xingchen handed the empty bowl to Yiqiu, the book in his sleeve suddenly slipped to the ground, hollow and clear, and the word "heart" came into Yiqiu's eyes conspicuously and eye-catchingly.
"Don't let anyone in the Void Cloud Gate know that you have this secret book, lest you set yourself on fire. ”
Xu Xingchen was shocked in his heart, and the words of Master Dao Yangzi immediately appeared in his mind, and he subconsciously immediately picked up the secret and hid it behind him, his face full of panic.
"Xingchen, what is that, show me quickly!"
Yiqiu's eyes opened suddenly, and unspeakable anxiety suddenly rushed to his heart.
"Xu Xingchen, have you stolen a teacher to learn art?!"
Yiqiu was panicked and frightened in her heart, and shouted suddenly......
