Chapter 7: It is the owner's duty to take care of the sick mount

May 15, 2017

Taking care of a mount is not an easy job. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Especially the kind of mounts with a low IQ index...... Even an IQ test can aggravate a back injury, Rao is Wang Jiu's knowledge, and he has to admit that this time it was an eye-opener for him.

However, taking care of the mount was also an interesting experience, and in the decades he was born, he focused on his cultivation without distractions, and he could no longer see anyone or anything else in his field of vision except for a long sword. After being reincarnated as a divine sword, he was followed by top figures such as the Nine Immortal Venerables, and he didn't need to be taken care of by others in his cultivation or life - on the contrary, he was an unworldly Outer Divine Sword, and someone often had to take care of him.

Now that he can take care of a human girl with a mild mental retardation, Wang Jiu finds it quite interesting, and can barely enjoy life as a part.

"However, considering that I am not familiar with the physiological structure of female humans, in order to ensure the efficiency of my care, it is recommended to use the master-slave contract to have a deeper understanding of you, I wonder if you mind ......"

"Roll it!"

"Okay, then I'll use a more universal method, first of all, drink more hot water......

"!"

――

After ending a senseless dispute, Wang Jiu saw that Li Qingming had fallen asleep and had nothing to do, so he set out to add a few new embellishments in the sword world.

Dragon chanting flowers, hundred lock vines.

Different from the previous dead objects such as the manipulation array and the breeze, these two embellishments are living creatures with a certain degree of activity, and the hundred lock vines can capture extremely small fluctuations in the outside world, and the dragon yin flower is the companion of the hundred lock vines, which can analyze and restore the fluctuations captured on the vine and turn them into original sounds. These two plants can greatly enhance the perception of the outside world by the Outer Heaven Divine Sword, but their own consumption is negligible, and for the Divine Sword in the tabula rasa state, it is worthy of the highest priority to cultivate.

And the materials needed to cultivate plants are naturally the high-grade pure qi and blood from the mounts...... Anyway, she was lying down.

It took about a morning and a noon, Wang Jiu finally completed the project in the sword world, and saw a green vine of hundreds of zhang rising from under his feet, climbing the invisible staircase and gradually growing into the gray sky, and blooming in the air like a network, and the tentacles continued to extend outward. On the ground, several dragon flowers of different colors bloomed, and the sound from the outside world was transmitted through the long green vine, gathering in one place.

And at the moment when the vines and flowers were watered by qi and blood and fully formed, Wang Jiu faintly heard a sound from the ground.

The voice was not a human voice, it was more like a natural fluctuation of some kind of heavenly treasure, very weak, but because it was extremely close, Wang Jiu could vaguely hear it.

This discovery immediately aroused great curiosity among the sword spirits.

This impoverished mount actually buried a treasure under his own ground? Oh no, I'm afraid it wasn't Li Qingming who buried it, but the treasures left by her deceased mother.

The location of the fluctuation came from the underground of the kitchen, and after the continuous locking of vines and flowers, Wang Jiu quickly found the location of the mechanism. He moved away an old brick from under the stove in a manipulation array, revealing a pitch-black entrance to the entire ground with a rumbling sound.

Below is a narrow corridor that is not long, and at the end is a secret room with a permanent lamp lit on the ceiling, which is almost inexhaustible in energy from the finest spirit stones. In the middle of the secret room were several dilapidated wooden boxes, and the fluctuations that Wang Jiu heard on the ground came from the middle one.

The moment he approached the wooden box, Wang Jiu suddenly heard a shocked and even frightened voice.

"Eh, who are you?"

The next moment, Wang Jiu saw a long female phantom appear in front of the treasure chest.

It was a guardian spirit.

Wang Jiu saw through the essence of the phantom at a glance. By the great cultivator above the Rain-Covered Realm, he can split his own Yuan Shen a little, and with the True Yuan and specific spells, he can leave a guardian spirit similar to a clone.

The strength of the guardian spirit depends on the level of the monk's magic and the strength of the split primordial spirit, but it will inevitably weaken over time. Therefore, it is usually injected into the magic circle, usually sleeping, and will only be awakened when certain conditions are met, so as to save spiritual power consumption.

And now, he has triggered the formation and awakened this guardian spirit.

Although the reality is uncertain and the image is blurry, it can still be recognized that the woman has amazing beauty, and what is even more surprising is that her facial features and eyebrows are highly similar to Li Qingming.

Considering her size and age, where and when she appears, her identity is clear at a glance according to strict logical reasoning.

"Shen Yue?"

Also a spirit body, the woman directly heard Wang Jiu's voice, and her eyes widened in surprise: "Yes, yes." Who are you? ”

"I am the Heavenly Divine Sword Sword Spirit formed by the blood sacrifice of the Nine Immortals during the Kyushu Immortal Demon War, and I was awakened by the call of Li Qingming after the deceased, and now I am active as her master in the reconstruction of the sword world and the exploration of Shen Yuan."

"Huh? What ......"

It took Shen Yue'e a full half a pillar of incense to recover from the shock. After being shocked, I saw the woman bow her head slightly, pondering solemnly, and muttering to herself.

"Kyushu Immortal Demon War, Nine Immortals, Outer Heaven Divine Sword...... It's all unheard of concepts, if this isn't the sword spirit going on a rampage and the sanity is broken...... In fact, it can vaguely echo the historical fragments of the flood period, but is there really such a coincidence, in the basement of Shen Yuan's kitchen, I encountered a relic of the flood period, and I happened to sign a contract with Qingming? No, considering that both the Li family and the Shen family may have experienced the era of flood famine, perhaps this thing happens to be related to the ancestors. But why is it just now that I wake up? No, we should empathize, the awakening time of the Flood Relic Treasure so far is completely unpredictable, so it is reasonable for it to wake up next to Qingming, and even the faint fluctuation of spiritual power can be explained as the dissipation of spiritual power in a long sleep......"

The woman pondered for a long time, and finally raised her head: "Although it is only my subjective assumption, I think I can believe your words, Sword Spirit Senior." ”

Such wonderful reasoning and wise judgment made Wang Jiu even want to applaud it. Since awakening, this woman has displayed the highest level of intelligence among human beings.

At the same time, Wang Jiu had to think deeply about how stupid her husband Li Fengyun must be to neutralize such a smart bloodline into Li Qingming's virtue......

"It doesn't look like you're waiting for me, though."

Shen Yue'e said: "Yes, I was originally waiting for light tea...... The design of this magic circle is that it can only be activated when Qingming breaks through the wind barrier and has the true element, but for some reason it was triggered by the sword spirit senior. Maybe it's because of the master-slave contract that the predecessors said? ”

"Well, as the master, I have all the power of the mount."

"I see, what a powerful contract, can you explain the principle for me, I have never heard of such a master-slave contract." Shen Yue'e said, shaking her head, "No, time is limited, I should focus on more valuable issues." ”

"Indeed."

"Then Senior Sword Spirit, can you explain to me the story of the Immortal Demon War and the Nine Immortal Venerables?"

"Okay, but I'm not a Ph.D., and I don't know a lot of things......"

Next, Wang Jiu gave a general account of the history he knew, while Shen Yue'e listened intently, so focused that she didn't even notice that her existence was getting weaker and weaker. And when Wang Jiu ended the story, Shen Yue'e let out a sigh of relief, and she was still unsatisfied.

"It's an eye-opener, and the story, while incredible, fits perfectly with some of the known fragments of history......"

Wang Jiu said: "I have a question, what is the meaning of you, as a guardian spirit, to spend your limited life listening to stories? ”

Shen Yue'e was categorical: "Chaowen said, you can die at night." ”

Wang Jiu approvingly: "I really hope that your daughter also has this spirit of studying." ”

"Daughter? What daughter? Shen Yue'e looked inexplicable.

“……”

"Oh, Qingming, I'm sorry I forgot." Shen Yue'e woke up like a dream: "That's right, I still have something to tell her...... Forget it, I'm afraid it's too late. And since there is a sword spirit senior with her, it is okay not to say those words. Senior, I still have a few doubts about the story just now, such as the origin of the demons......"

After a while, Wang Jiu did her best to answer all her questions, and Shen Yue'e was finally satisfied, and stretched comfortably: "It was so wise to decide to leave a wisp of Yuan Shen in the first place!" ”

After sighing with emotion, Shen Yue'e said again: "Those stories just now are really priceless to me, but it's a pity that I'm just a wisp of primordial spirit, and I can't repay it." After thinking about it, why don't I tell some stories to my predecessors? Although not much is known about the stories of the Xiangzhou Continent after the flood era, some of them can correspond to the history of the predecessors. ”

"Okay." Wang Jiu was quite pleased.

Today's sword spirit has no desires, and the only idea is to explore the truth of history, understand how Kyushu evolved into Xiangzhou, and what happened to the old friends in the past. However, Li Qingming didn't understand these things at all, Wang Jiu tried to find some books and materials in her room, but found nothing, and the Kyushu Immortal and Demon War seemed to have been sealed by time.

And now, Shen Yue'e is trying to uncover this mysterious corner of history for him.

"How good it would be if you were the one who signed the master-slave contract with me, compared to you, Li Qingming's mount is simply a defective product."

Shen Yue'e was slightly embarrassed: "That, senior, Qingming is my daughter after all......"

"Don't blame yourself, this responsibility should obviously be borne by Li Fengyun."

“…… It makes sense. Shen Yue'e shook her head, "Let's get back to the point, the current Xiangzhou Continent has a very limited history, and almost all of the parts that are more than 5,000 years old are hidden in the dark, but according to a few fragments of the flood wilderness, at least the following things can be known, first, the Xiangzhou Continent was not so vast at the earliest, it is because for thousands of years, our monks have overcome obstacles and constantly expanded the boundaries of the continent, so that there is the current Xiangzhou." Second, after the end of the Flood Era, the immortal cultivation civilization in Xiangzhou almost started from scratch, and in the earliest dark ages, even the monks of the Yunyong Realm were called great monks. Xiangzhou has gone through a long period of accumulation to have its current prosperity. However, compared to the Kyushu era mentioned by the predecessors, it is quite inferior, from the barbaric era to the dark age, I am afraid that something happened that destroyed the world. Third, the seven families of the three courtyards that now rule Xiangzhou all have the inheritance of the flood era, although each has its own defects, but it is these inheritances that have enabled them to continue from the dark ages to the present. Then, the truth that the predecessors wanted to know should also be included in these desolate inheritances. It's a pity that only the head of the family can know about the inheritance of the flood wilderness, so ......"

Wang Jiu asked, "So I should find your husband?" ”

"Wind and Cloud...... I'm afraid not, he's only interested in things in practice, and he never remembers history-related, so if you want to find it, just look for his father Li Tianya. He's a very enthusiastic and intelligent old man, and he should have the answers you want. If you have the opportunity to see him in the future, just say that his dearest little daughter wants you to come, and he will know. ”

After saying this, Shen Yue'e's spirit body finally couldn't support it anymore, and began to gradually disintegrate from the bottom up, turning into untraceable spirit crumbs.

"It's a pity, I can only talk to my predecessors about this. Finally, there is a reluctant request...... Please help me take care of the light tea. ”

Wang Jiu said: "I signed a master-slave contract with her, so I naturally have a duty to take care of the mount. ”

"In this case, then I will be relieved."

At this time, Shen Yue'e's spirit body had disappeared more than half, and the woman seemed to have finally let go of all her thoughts, closed her eyes, and waited for the moment when she completely disappeared.

"Ah, I almost forgot." Shen Yue'e suddenly opened her eyes, "Senior, can I trouble you to keep the matter of meeting me today?" If Qingming knew, she would definitely be sad. ”

"Okay."

"In addition, there are little things I left for Qingming in this room, and there are some letters that I exchanged with Fengyun when I was young...... Please also ask the seniors to ......"

However, when the last word was spoken, Shen Yue'e's spirit body silently disintegrated, turning into countless crystal powder.

Wang Jiu was puzzled.

What do I ask me to do? Serious study? Take good care of it?

However, as the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, since Shen Yue'e mentioned the correspondence, let's read it first and then talk about the handling measures.

Thinking of this, Wang Jiu opened the storage boxes in the secret room one by one, most of them were silver taels, herbs and other intimate auxiliary things for the monks of the Wind Rising Realm, and only a small wooden box was full of letters.

opened one of them, but it was written by Shen Yue'e to Li Fengyun.

"Fengyun, you and I have been in love for a few years, and we have exchanged letters without talking, I thought that couples in the world would be nothing more intimate than that. However, not long ago, when I went to the Golden Jade City, I saw a wonderful love letter called 'Wen Ai'......"

――

"I see, this is the so-called 'Wenai'."

After flipping through the letters between Shen Yue'e and Li Fengyun, Wang Jiu felt that he had really gained knowledge. In the past, when the fairy and demon wars, rakugo once mentioned to him that Qingzhou, as the fashion pioneer of Kyushu, has a popular fashion culture called 'Wenai', but before Rakugo explained the concept of Wenai for him in detail, the final battle broke out, and the so-called "Wenai" has become a mystery.

Now it's a matter of the sword spirit's heart.

It's a pity that this doesn't answer Wang Jiu's previous question, what does Shen Yue'e plan to ask him to do with these letters?

Could it be that the smart woman saw that she was not proficient enough in the world, so she used letters to explain Wenai to herself? Forget it, when the time comes, I will hand over the letter to Li Qingming for identification.

And just as Wang Jiu was about to pack up his things and leave, he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard along the vines and flowers of the sword world.

Yesterday, the servant group who was destroyed by his three swords to protect the external strength, Li Yuan, Li Li, Li Peng.

The three of them stood still in front of the door, and after a long hesitation, someone finally spoke.

Li Li said: "Miss, it's us, that, we're here again." ”

Li Peng said: "By the way, Brother Ping was found to have plagiarized his scripture homework, and now he has been punished by the master for running in circles, so he can't come, and he is by no means disrespectful to Miss......"

"Shut up, there's no need to talk about these irrelevant things! That, Miss made martial arts some time ago, and we all admired it, but the demolition work is a project that has been set by the family, I hope Miss won't embarrass us, or pack up and move to the compound as soon as possible. ”

This time Li Li opened his mouth, his momentum was obviously more than half empty, obviously he had been poked out of the shadow before, and the two little friends next to him didn't dare to say a word.

Wang Jiu listened below, and knew that he was looking for Li Qingming, so he ignored it and began to pack the things in the box, but after cleaning up for a long time, he didn't see Li Qingming go out to greet guests, and only waited for the three servants at the door to gradually burst their bladders, which was very embarrassing.

Wang Jiu floated back to the room to take a look, and saw that the little girl had just finished the internal strength of the week and was sleeping soundly.

Drifting back to the courtyard gate, the three servants were still standing straight outside the door, enduring the discomfort of their lower bodies, and they didn't dare to take a breath of the atmosphere, as if they were waiting for the earth to be desolate.

Seeing this situation, Wang Jiu took out a pen and paper from Li Qingming's room and wrote: "It is inconvenient for Li Qingming to meet guests. Then he sent it out of the door in a manipulative array.

Li Li happened to take the note, but he was stunned.

Li Qingming is inconvenient to meet guests? What the hell?!

Li Peng next to him saw it, and said with a sigh of relief: "Miss said that it is inconvenient to meet guests, let's go." ”

"Phew,! Use your brain and think, who wrote this note?! ”

"Of course it was written by the young lady, and there is no one else in this yard."

Li Li sneered: "Will Miss write in the third person?" It's not a five- or six-year-old! ”

"What do you mean by third person?"

"You...... When you are auditing a cultural class, can you do something serious besides sleeping? Li Li wanted to kick this stupid brother to death, "And the young lady's handwriting is not so simple and rusty, and her calligraphy when she was ten years old made many teachers ashamed of themselves." ”

Hearing this, Li Peng was still inexplicable, Li Yuan had already concluded: "The probability that there are outsiders in the courtyard is 95%, and the probability of someone who is not good is 72%. ”

Li Li solemnly: "Kidnapping? ”

Li Yuan refined and analyzed: "The Li family is one of the seven great families in Xiangzhou, even if it has declined slightly in recent years, it is also the leader in Qingyun City, with an influence index of 41.5%, far better than the Qian family and the Lu family, which can be regarded as a big move." The young lady lives alone in the old house, and the safety factor is 89.3% lower than that of the compound, which is indeed easy to be taken advantage of. ”

When Li Peng heard this, he immediately said urgently: "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and go in to save people!" ”

"How to save it? Can you sneak into the courtyard of this old mansion unconsciously and restrain the young lady's master, just the three of us? Li Li clenched his fists while dripping with cold sweat, "This matter is not trivial, Li Yuan, you go back to report the news first, and the two of us are watching here...... No, it's easy to startle the snake, if you want to go, just go together, pretend not to see the flaws in this letter, and stabilize the opponent. ”

Li Yuan added: "When I was observing a cultural class, I taught at home that when rescuing hostages, we also need to constantly provide confidence to the hostages so that they can persevere. ”

Li Li asked, "How do you give confidence?" ”

Before the words fell, I heard Li Peng shouting at the top of his voice: "Miss, wait, we will bring someone to ...... soon"

"Damn, you're retarded!"

Li Yuan and Li Li went on the spot, pressed Li Peng to the ground and beat him, and then dragged him away in a row, leaving only messy blood stains on the ground......

――

A moment later, Li Yuan, Li Li, and Li Peng were out of breath and returned to the small courtyard where they lived, and Li Peng was still coughing up blood lightly.

Li Ping, who had just run around the city for three weeks, was lying on the ground panting like a dog, and was shocked when he saw the tragic situation of his three friends, and he was tossed and trembling on the ground and wanted to get up, but he was really prostration, weak, and like a spasm.

"What's the matter, you're fighting with Miss again? Didn't you say that I can't go this time, you have to be careful! ”

"No, no, Brother Ping, it's a big deal, Miss was kidnapped!"

"What!?"

The trio explained their experience at the gate of the courtyard in a rambling manner, because the incident was urgent, they kept talking to each other, and they only heard Li Ping's annoyance and desire to vomit.

And after he cleared his thoughts, he saw the anxious faces of the three little friends, and he couldn't help sneering: "You three stupid people, you don't even know if you've been deceived!" ”

"Huh?"

"I ask you, if there really is a bold kidnapper who dares to attack Miss Qingming, how can he leave such a flaw that even the three of you fools can see? Isn't that note a startling thing when it is handed out? ”

The trio was speechless.

"Then, Brother Ping, in your opinion, what's going on?"

"Isn't that obvious? You've all been tricked by Miss! She writes a note with her left hand, and she scares the three of you out! Fortunately, you told me what happened first, otherwise if you directly alarm the lord and lady, see how you end! ”

The three of them were ashamed to hear this: "What should I do now?" ”

"What else can I do, tell my wife the truth first, or when my wife comes back from shopping, I will ask why Miss hasn't moved yet, and it's not like I'm going to be exposed!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a woman's sigh in the distance.

"No, I already know."

The four of them were taken aback: "Husband, madam?!" You're back? ”

"Well, Fengyun suddenly said that he remembered a cultivation problem, so he hurried back...... Just now you said that the young lady deceived you back with a note? Where is the note, show me. ”

Li Lizhan trembled and took out the note from his arms, but before he could stretch out his hand, the note was lifted by an invisible force and flew away from the small courtyard of the four of them.

As the mistress of the Li family's compound, Lu Xin's cultivation is not extremely high, but for people at the level of housekeepers and servants, he is already a heavenly immortal-like figure.

After a while, Lu Xin sighed again: "This word is square, not fancy, and even a little rusty, it is indeed not a light word, but to say that there are kidnappers who murder her, it is a little appalling." Although Qingyun City is not the Qingyun City of the Li family, and the house left by the woman is not in the Li family's compound, it is not just someone who can sneak in, which is not good for the Li family. ”

Li Li and the other three were submissive and didn't dare to say more.

"But your worries are not unreasonable, she lives outside alone, and it is really not safe. What's more, her cultivation progress has stagnated over the years, and instead of redoubling her efforts to break through the bottleneck, she has been distracted and even used this kind of conspiracy trick that cannot be put on the table...... I'll find time to discuss this matter, so you don't have to worry about it for now. ”

――

At the same time, in Qingming's bedroom, the girl carefully stretched her waist, rubbed her eyes, and asked, "It was so noisy outside before, what's going on?" ”

Wang Jiu said, "Those three servants of your family are here again. ”

"What!?" Li Qingming's lazy waist stiffened on the spot, pulling the wound, and tears broke out in pain, "Those three people are still here?" What are they doing here?! ”

Wang Jiu said: "Urging you to move." ”

"I'm not going anywhere!" After Li Qingming gritted his teeth, he asked, "I was asleep in the house at that time, and I only heard them shouting outside the courtyard, what are you shouting?" ”

"Oh, it's the tall fat man." Wang Jiu recalled the scene at that time and said, "He said to let you wait, they will bring someone soon." ”

"What!" Li Qingming was simply furious, "This is threatening me!?" ”

"From what I know about them, I don't think it's a threat."

"What do you know about humans with a broken sword!?"

"It's true, I don't know much about mounts, and when I was younger, I was often judged that I didn't understand people's hearts."

Li Qingming really didn't have the strength to talk nonsense with Wang Jiu, endured her back injury, staggered out of the bedroom, came to the door of the small courtyard, and as soon as she pushed the door open, she was so angry that she was dazed.

"This, this group of sluts, how dare they leave bloody handprints in front of my door!?"
