236. I'll Return the Book (2nd Shift)
Black wings curl death,
Each slap carries a flame flowing silently among the fine scales.
The flames caused the air to die, creating an almost bellows-like scene.
The surrounding air currents were about to squeeze towards him, but they were burned even more, creating a huge gravitational pull.
He is like the scorching sun that flies in the heavens, and all things are like moths, and those who have a little grip on the earth come towards him, come closer, and then die.
Call!!
Xia Ji flapped his wings and flew higher again, which avoided flying sand and rocks.
Both were silent, and no one spoke.
Wu Ji really didn't know what to say, and she didn't know where Xia Ji was going to take her.
She was bathed in the flames of death, and her heart was shaken.
About two days later.
Xia Ji emerged from the clouds, converged his black wings, and landed on the edge of a cliff high in the Northland Mountains.
Starlight bathes and casts, and shadows are everywhere.
Xia Ji let go and threw Wu Ji out.
Wu Ji was stunned, she looked around, there were shadows all around, in other words, if she wanted to escape, it was the home field now.
But instead of running away, she looked at a tombstone at the end of the cliff.
The tombstone is pale in the moonlight.
It is engraved with "The Tomb of the Ancient Dust of the Shang Prince".
Xia Ji said: "Before he died, he felt that he was being controlled, and then gave me everything, begging me to save his sister."
You know, he was a proud man, he never begged anyone in his life, but he kept begging me before he died. ”
Wu Ji: ...
Xia Ji said: "I didn't tell him the truth, but I also promised him, saying that Qingming would bring tomb sweeping in the future, and now Qingming is over, and if you don't come later, look at yourself." ”
Wu Ji: ...
The two were silent for a long time.
Xia Ji turned around.
He had only taken a few steps when a voice came from behind him.
"Wait. ”
Xia Ji paused.
"Isn't it time to kill me?"
Xia Ji said: "Why should I kill? I'm sorry it's not me... It's him. ”
A brother who will expose his weakness.
A brother who trusted him when he was dying.
Betraying trust.
I'm sorry for him.
I'm just keeping my promises.
"Goodbye. ”
"Xia Ji!!" Wu Ji shouted loudly, but she had nothing to say, the two used to be the relationship between the imperial sister and the imperial brother, and they had been together in the same city for sixteen years, and they should have talked about it when they met again after a long absence, but there was nothing to talk about.
Xia Ji glanced sideways at the tear-stained imperial sister, and said softly: "There is something wrong with the Houtu mask I wear, be careful yourself." That's all I say, goodbye. ”
After speaking, a pair of black wings vibrated the night wind, flapped and whistled into the sky, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
High cliffs.
The moon is in the sky.
A lonely grave.
A stunning beauty on her knees.
Like a picture.
...
...
The matter between Wu Ji and the crown prince is over.
Xia Ji returned to Mirror Lake.
In the martial arts hall, the golden red fish had just eaten the twenty-eighth spirit fruit, and when they heard the familiar footsteps, the fish swam excitedly in the water.
By the time Xia Ji appeared in front of the gate, the fish's small mouth had already been attached to the fish tank.
Xia Ji was stunned and walked over.
I saw that the fish had undergone a lot of changes, the thin scales had thickened, and they were golden, showing a bit of "the yellow-haired girl dressed as a concubine" and "ordinary soldiers wrapped in the general's armor".
Secondly, two small protrusions grew on the top of the fish's head, which seemed to be two small horns.
The golden fish swim around in the water, as if to show off.
Xia Ji reached out and touched its head, rubbing the two small meat horns.
The fish enjoyed it comfortably.
Suddenly, it opened its mouth and sucked on his fingers.
Xia Ji could feel that there were teeth in the fish's mouth, or fangs...
That's fierce.
He was stunned.
Then I felt that the little fangs were grinding against my skin, as if I wanted to bite, but I was afraid that I would be angry.
Xia Ji said: "Do you want my blood?"
The little fish let go of the small mouth with an "ah", then stood upright in the fish tank, patted the fish, and signaled YES.
Xia Ji smiled: "Why? Explain it clearly, I'll give it." ”
Xiao Yu'er's face was full of question marks.
The fish's eyes were wide and the thief was big, and he looked like he had seen a ghost.
Xia Ji read the expression.
I'm a fish, can I speak human words?
What I can understand is already remarkable.
Xia Ji couldn't help but laugh, and said in a deep voice: "Don't say it, forget it, I've given it a chance." ”
The little fish sucked a mouthful of water from the tank.
Shout!
The water turned into arrows and sprayed softly on Xia Ji's cheeks.
Then, Xiao Yu'er turned around very aggrievedly and aimed the fish's tail at Xia Ji, looking very angry.
Xia Ji laughed, "Funny, let's go, I'll take it to the East China Sea, and when I get to the beach, I'll give a drop of blood as a parting gift." ”
The little fish flicked its tail and swam back to the front, looking at Xia Ji with blank eyes, not knowing whether he was thirsting for blood or reluctant.
Xia Ji kept the fish in his sleeve.
He tried, and although he couldn't bring people into the underworld, it was okay to bring this kind of close-fitting pet.
...
Now it's time to do the second thing.
Sixteen years ago, he had taken a lot of ancient books from the Zhenwu Pavilion of Abbot Island without asking questions, and now it was time to return them.
He walked into the Underground Transit Station.
When he came out again, he was already among the four major forces of Abbot Island.
The courtyard where Jingming Zhenren and Xu Guzi are located is still spotless and empty.
When a real person is outside, it is common for decades not to return, let alone such a fire calamity?
Unless there is no one for a hundred years, a courtyard will be truly banned.
Xia Ji naturally knew the traces of Jingming Zhenren and Xu Guzi.
One year he went to the northern country of ice and snow rakshasas, and Xiao Su told him that Jingming Zhenren and Xu Guzi were helping her explore ancient ruins and find some things.
Xia Ji understood as soon as he heard it, and it was estimated that this Jingming Zhenren and Xu Guzi were the same as those in "Wangjiazhen", and they were the bureaus laid out by Xiao Su's predecessor.
And after this Jingming Zhenren and Xu Guzi heard about Ji Qi's identity, they naturally didn't dare to recognize this master's brother as a disciple anymore, and now they have found a new disciple in the north to preach and teach.
What about the seniority, Xia Ji doesn't care, Jingming Zhenren is a guide for him, if it weren't for him, he wouldn't be able to learn a lot of ancient Xuangong from Abbot Island, from this point of view, it is not an exaggeration for him to call Jingming Zhenren a teacher.
...
...
These are the little things.
His thoughts flickered.
Follow the local customs and throw out the sword pills.
The sword pill changes rapidly, and the spherical pill iron stretches, and changes,
Soon, it turned into a flying sword and levitated in front of him.
Xia Ji lowered his cloak to cover his face.
His current identity will only be a catastrophe for one party's forces.
Covering his face is also a nominal love of incense.
He stepped on the flying sword and was about to leave quietly, but suddenly he felt that the Golden Jade Fang seemed to be in turmoil.
Many chaotic conversations came to his ears clearly.
"It's too much to deceive people, is it really easy to bully us in our Golden Jade Workshop? Even if there is no fire and no bloodline, my disciples of Golden Jade Workshop will never lose to these loose cultivators!"
"I'm afraid that these loose practices are supported by someone. ”
"Why don't you close the mountain gate... They're too strong. ”
"How can you close the mountain gate? If it is really closed, and the mountain gate is opened again in 30 years, won't it be a catastrophe?"
"But if you don't close it, you'll be doomed by now. ”
"Why don't we go to Middle-earth together... As long as we can get the fire, we can be saved. ”
...
...
He let go of his mind and listened quietly, and from the jumbled conversations, he had guessed something.
Back then, the owner of the dying longevity went to rob the land and pursue the way of immortality, but apparently failed and died.
But where there are failures, there are successes.
A few families are happy and a few are sad.
And this brings about a reversal of strength and weakness.
The strong naturally need more resources,
Where do the resources come from,
Nature goes to those who were once strong and are now weak.
Jin Yufang unfortunately became this force that "used to be strong, but now it is weak".
Sixteen years ago, as soon as the land was robbed, the Golden Jade Fang lost many elite disciples, and it was never able to retrieve a single fire.
Now the Golden Jade Workshop is being attacked by other sects, asking them to hand over rare minerals such as spirit iron ore and pill gold ore.
And Jing Chunzi, the current head of Jinyufang, has only two choices.
First, resistance.
Second, open the mountain closure array, a letter of thirty years.
The former can't be beaten.
The latter can certainly be resisted, but what about thirty years later?
At this time, outside the Golden Jade Workshop, there were many volleying flying swords outside a transparent membrane cover.
Edgemakers are all hostile cultivators.
These scattered cultivators have awakened their bloodlines to varying degrees, and they keep shooting magic weapons, or talismans and the like in their hands, or they are directly swords.
Constant attacks on the membrane cover.
The mask withstood the attack, showing ripples in circles.
And inside the shroud, from time to time, the disciples of the Golden Jade Fang, Edgeworth, flew out and fought with the incoming enemies in mid-air, but they were obviously not the opponents of those monks who had awakened their bloodlines.
More disciples were injured and were closing their eyes and knees in the neighborhood to recuperate their breath in order to fight against the enemy again.
...
When Xia Ji Yujian rose, he swept a little away, and found a few people in the crowd who he knew when he first came.
For example, Qingfengzi who "shows off the flying sword in front of himself",
Yun Lingzi, who "asked if he had a Taoist companion at the naturalization office",
Qingxia who "came to the nine-story library to let himself leave the ancient text translation",
"Ask yourself why you don't read good books, but why you only read ancient books",
There is also the "parting to accept the owner's order and guard here" Jing Chunzi.
...
These people are now all on the same front, and they are all nervously facing the invasion of foreign enemies.
Xia Ji looked at the sky, and the battle was quite fierce.
Think for a moment.
He casually threw out an ordinary crystal ball containing purple flames from his sleeve.
The crystal ball landed softly on the stone table in the Jingming Courtyard.
Xia Ji didn't stay any longer, pointing to the sky with two fingers.
Edgeworth went with the wind.
And a sound fluttered faintly towards Jing Chunzi, who was frowning tightly.
"A fire is in the courtyard of the pure and bright real person, and after three days, the mountain gate can be closed. ”
Jing Chunzi's eyes opened suddenly, and when he looked up, he saw a figure wrapped in a cloak that had just broken through the membrane cover, and in everyone's sight, the figure did not fight, but chose to turn around and quickly "escape" in another direction.
This scene, everyone who watched was dumbfounded.
It caused the enemies outside the air shield to laugh, and two flying swords chased after them.
Jing Chunzi didn't speak, and hurriedly came to the courtyard with Edgeworth, his eyes suddenly widening.
As the man said, there was a purple spark.
Even though he is the owner of a square, he can't help but feel excited.
With this tinder, Jinyufang can close the mountain gate and be saved.
Who is that man?
He hurriedly looked up, but he could still see the back of the person who "fled".
After being silent for a long time, Jing Chunzi bowed down and bowed quietly three times, "Although I can't determine the name of Engong, I thank you very much." ”
But what happened after these three days?
...
...
Xia Ji casually solved the chasing enemy, and came to the edge of Abbot Island.
He descended with his sword, leaving the floating island and standing above the blue sea.
Throw the little golden fish out of the sleeve.
Poof.
The small fish bit the string of three red beads, entered the seawater, swam a few laps in the water, and seemed to be quite adaptable, without encountering the problem of "freshwater fish entering the sea".
It is already an extraordinary species that has opened its mind and awakened its bloodline to a certain extent, and its resistance is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary fish.
Xia Ji sat cross-legged on the flying sword.
Bend your fingers and pop out a drop of blood.
"A gift given. ”
The golden fish slapped its tail and soared into the air, and the small meat horns broke through the shallow sea.
The little mouth opened, and he bit the blood,
Then as if feeling the power hidden in the blood, I couldn't help but stare at it,
It was as if a fully inflated balloon had suddenly been loosened and circled in the water.
It swam slower and slower, and finally tilted its head a little uncomfortably, looking at Xia Ji on the flying sword.
Xia Ji said: "If I have a fate, I can see you again in the future." ”
The little golden fish was still reluctant to leave and refused to leave.
Xia Ji said: "This is the heart of the East China Sea, there are opportunities, but there are also great dangers, don't show off anything, showing off will only make you have enemies, not friends like me." ”
The little golden fish understood his words and floated silently.
Xia Ji said: "Let's live." ”
He took a deep look at the golden fish, and with two fingers together, the flying sword turned around and shot towards the sky.
The little fish stared at the back, as if to write him down forever.
It vaguely knew that it might never see him again.
But soon, the joy of entering a new world drowned out this sorrow.
It flapped its golden tail with scales like armor, and headed for the blue depths of the sea.
Although the hometown is far away, the distance has come. Those who strive for self-improvement can finally meet again in the future.
And Xia Ji took the sword and headed towards the True Martial Pavilion.
...
...
True Martial Pavilion.
The Dao Gu in the library sighed softly.
Sixteen years ago, she made a mistake.
Therefore, he was punished to be the caretaker of this library all the time.
It wasn't until the unknown book thief actually returned the book that her punishment was over.
Daogu's name is Bei Yuzi, because of the aura of Abbot Island, even after sixteen years, she still looks like a girl, and her mentality has not changed.
At this time, Bei Yuzi sighed helplessly, why was he so unlucky.
She actually regarded a book thief as a junior brother, and thought that the junior brother was very handsome, and thought that he didn't go to the square to gather because he was a nerd.
Ahhh
It's too painful.
Why are you so stupid?
Such a stupid self, is it suitable for cultivating immortals?
While she was in a daze, she saw a token handed over.
Bei Yuzi didn't look at anyone either, and said listlessly: "Go in." ”
But the person who came didn't go in, but took out a stack of books directly from the storage space, put them in front of the desk, and said with a smile: "I'll return the books." ”
