Chapter 20: A Thrilling Test
Xia Qingyi was "escorted" all the way to the gate of Yong'an Palace with anxiety.
Before parting, Chu Leyan gave her a reluctant bear hug, the fragrant and warm body was completely embedded in her arms, and her hands tightly wrapped around her slender waist, which was less than Yingying's grasp.
"Let it go! Let go! I can't breathe!" Xia Qingyi suddenly couldn't adapt to this special enthusiasm. tried to push away this small body, but the other party was very stubborn and insisted on holding on.
"Sister Xia, you must come back completely!" The choked voice was already crying.
"If you are really reluctant, I won't go, anyway, the eldest princess is also your aunt, so she won't really kill her niece's concubine, do you say yes or no?"
"That's not going to work!" Hearing Xia Qingyi say no, she quickly let go of her hand and took a step back, widened the distance, and wiped her tears with her sleeves.
"If you go, you still have to go, this palace believes in you, Sister Xia, you go in, this palace is waiting for you here!" Then he raised a smile that he thought was the sweetest and most harmless.
Xia Qingyi rolled her eyes, sighed, hung her head, and walked towards the palace with difficulty.
After passing through an unusually dark and deep cave, you can officially enter the Yong'an Palace.
Just looking at the cliffs and waterfalls in front of her, the mountains and flowers and the jungle, Xia Qingyi felt for a moment as if she had just returned to the time when she had just crossed over.
The eldest princess actually reproduced the valley where she had studied art, and when she couldn't hold her chin in surprise, she only heard a cold female voice ringing in her ears.
"You are indeed his apprentice."
Xia Qingyi came back to her senses and saw that on the top of the majestic palace, there seemed to be a woman wearing a purple palace dress and two huge hammers around her waist, who was coming in her direction.
Every time her feet staggered forward, she jumped five or six feet away, her movements were extremely fast, her posture was wonderful, and the distance between the two of them was only a few feet away.
"Be careful, don't look her eyes!" Alerts in time.
Hearing this, Xia Qingyi subconsciously kicked on her toes and rose into the sky in the opposite direction. In an instant, where she was originally located, there was a bloody glow, like several bright red mandala flowers blooming in the air.
"Puppet Gu! It's too late to find buns, and this time it's going to cost me my own essence. You quickly take out the withered grass, chew it and stick it in front of your forehead, quick! ”
Xia Qingyi mechanically followed Gu Ling's instructions, and after a while, she heard Zijin continue.
"Ten fingers crossed, thumbs against the dantian, the qi ascended, read to me: "The soul of ten thousand Gu, Mo Shen's true body, the spirit of the town guards the life, and the yuan is one." ”
Xia Qingyi had never dabbled in this kind of Gu spell before, and it was a bit clumsy to do. And in this rapidly changing battle situation, she has never been able to concentrate, and has been restrained by the Yingying Honghuo who is about to fly around her. Seeing that they seemed to be able to sense Xia Qingyi's position, they just started to spin blindly in the air, but in an instant, they rushed straight to her door as if they had determined a target!
"Don't look at it, you haven't been stained with Gu blood yet, hurry!"
"Where did the buns come from!?" Xia Qingyi, who was in a hurry, was about to cry.
"Your own blood, I'm in your body, there's no way to do it this time, use ours, hurry!"
I want to let blood again, this Gu technique is good for anything, but it hurts the body too much and always sells blood!! In the future, she will add red dates, longan and wolfberries every day to make up for it.
Biting his fingers, he poured all the scarlet from his fingertips on the withered grass.
In an instant, Xia Qingyi emitted a cold light from her forehead, and a faint golden halo flashed in her luster, which slowly expanded, turning the red Gu worms attached to her body into blood water.
Talisman Gu!? Interesting! At such a young age, he could already drive such a defensive Gu technique, Chu Jiaren's eyes flashed with approval when she looked at Xia Qingyi, but she didn't give her a chance to breathe at all, and immediately shouted again.
"Come, try the ghost of the main palace!"
The wrist didn't know how to flip, and the weapon on his waist had fallen into his palm in a blink of an eye, and as the chain was put and closed, it smashed into a hole in the ground, and washed an east hole. The other party obviously wanted to let her see the force of this weapon first, and was not in a hurry to attack at all. Xia Qingyi was shocked.
"Eldest princess, senior, there is something to say, there are many people who use knives and robs, I am your 。。。。。。" Before the words fell, the hammer struck her position at a galloping speed, and when it pierced the sky, she only heard the whirring wind, like a mountain and a sea, and like a thunderbolt.
Xia Qingyi hid very hard, and every time she could avoid it.
"Zijin, Zijin, save me!" habitually asked for help from the Gu worm in his brain, but this time, he didn't respond at all. Xia Qingyi, who was in despair, saw that there was no way out, shook a little, and after avoiding it sideways, she flashed directly in front of Chu Jiaren, intercepted the middle of the chain with one hand, and took the person in front of her, and pushed the palm that had secretly gathered ninety percent of the internal force of the whole body directly to Chu Jiaren's chest at the closest distance.
Chu Jiaren didn't expect her to be anti-guest-oriented, and took the initiative to attack, not even dodging without noticing, and she was forced to take this palm and retreated several steps before stabilizing her figure.
"You! You internal force! That's impossible! Chu Jiaren screamed in disbelief. has lost its former calmness and self-control.
"What can't be!?" Xia Qingyi was stunned by what she said, inexplicable.
"Bengong and ask you, where did you get this internal strength!?"
"What kind of internal force, the master gave me to cultivate by myself after opening up the meridians!" The little woman, who didn't realize the weirdness, said calmly.
"You cultivate on your own? Can you cultivate for 50 or 60 years yourself? How old are you!? Although Chu Jiaren didn't know what was going on, it was obvious that either the person in front of her was lying, or someone had taught her a lifetime's skills, and that person was most likely her senior brother.
Xia Qingyi was speechless for a while, the master told him that after opening up, he could double or even triple his internal strength, but no matter how fast he added, fifty or sixty years of skill could not be achieved by himself in these days.
"Say, where did you get your skills?" The eldest princess became even more angry when she saw her silence, and had already decided that her skills must have come from crooked ways or cunning.
Angry and angry, he squinted his eyes and flipped his arms into the air, and he was about to make a killing move when he was shocked.
"Meow! Ahh Woo woo!! A familiar cat meow and a shadow flashing in the air at the same time made her originally aim at Xia Qingyi's life, and with a palm that used ten percent of her internal strength, she forcibly retracted it after seeing the bun that flew to protect Xia Qingyi, but such a sudden move disrupted the true qi in her heart, and the internal organs were almost displaced, and she suddenly fell to her knees, and blood gushed out from the corners of her mouth.
Xia Qingyi didn't know that she had just come back from a wandering trip to the Ghost Gate as if she was in space, but Mu Ran skillfully caught the bun that rushed into her arms, and the little fat dun rubbed her face affectionately, licking a few bites from time to time to show her "sovereignty".
After a short warm interaction between one person and one cat, Xia Qingyi was shocked to realize Chu Jiaren who fell to the ground, her eyes were apologetic and melancholy, and she lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong.
"I, I didn't mean to 。。。。。。"
"This matter has nothing to do with you, it's the main palace." The woman lying there wanted to speak and stopped, although she was a little embarrassed, after all, she was injured, and the corners of her mouth were still bleeding, but the arrogance and nobility exuded from her strands could not be ignored. Taking a deep breath, she struggled to get up with the severe pain all over her body, and Xia Qingyi hurriedly stepped forward to help.
This time, Chu Jiaren did not refuse her, and let her lead her all the way to the table and sit down, Xia Qingyi poured water like a little daughter-in-law, and diagnosed the pulse, and noticed that Chu Jiaren had injured the meridians, and was shocked at the moment, and hurriedly instructed Baozi to go to the Seventh Princess to retrieve the herbs.
Chu Jiaren looked fixedly at the figure who was busy running in and out, and her eyes gradually became deep.
"He taught you well, very well." Xia Qingyi was startled by her sudden opening, and paused in her action of picking up herbs in vain, but she never knew how to react, is this praising herself, so should she thank you back? Alas, it's infuriating stupid!
"That, auntie, in fact, the master has something for me to hand over to you." After thinking about it for a long time, she could only hold back this unproductive relay, and took it out of her sleeve for a long time before finding her purse and handing it over.
This is...... Chu Jiaren looked at the silk brocade purse for a moment but burst into tears, this, this was given to him by herself, caressing the word "winner" in the purse that was extremely neat, at that time she told that wood that she hoped that one day he could become a generation of Gu gods and a winner in the world. In fact, he simply wanted to link the two of them together, and vaguely took the homonym of the word "Ying" Tian in his name and the word "Jia" in his name, but he also believed it, man, this is a man, heartless and heartbreaking.
"Auntie, don't you open it and take a look, the master has put a lot of thought into it." Xia Qingyi saw that she was just looking at her purse in a daze, and couldn't help but remind.
"Okay, okay, Hongu, look at it now." As he spoke, he hurriedly wiped away the presumptuous tears on his face with his hands, and forcibly pulled out a smile while sobbing, but Xia Qingyi felt distressed for a while.
"。。。。。。 this?" Looking at the little doll in the purse that was almost the same as the one he looked like when he was young, the tears he had just held back gushed out again.
She stroked the doll's jet-black hair, which had been cut by the wood while she was sleeping, and she had a big quarrel with him before she knew it. The parents who suffered from the body did not dare to destroy it, she thought he was a prank, one did not give up, the other endured silently, and he never explained.
That's it, it's always been like this, love and not love, read and not read, never explain.
Chu Jiaren completely broke the defense, this time as if he could no longer stop, poured out like a surging flood, lying on the table and whimpering lowly.
Xia Qingyi quietly waited for the desperate woman in front of her to cry enough, although she didn't know what kind of vicissitudes she had crossed, but she really deduced the sadness of "things are people, everything is rest, and tears flow first if you want to speak".
After a long time, Chu Jiaren finally restrained her weakness, and raised her head again, although her eyelashes were moist that had not dried, her complexion had changed back to the proud eldest princess who looked down on everything.
"What else did he say?" No matter what, she still can't let go of the bits and pieces about that man, and she still wants to get to the bottom of it.
Xia Qingyi was a little embarrassed, his master was an extremely forgiving person emotionally, so for this junior sister, she could feel that the master had different feelings, but he was restrained very well, really good, so until the end, it was just a passing touch, but such a suppressed love was so cruel to the eldest princess who loved him deeply.
"The master often mentions you, and when you celebrate your birthday, you carve a little rabbit and say that it is because you always like to fiddle with these gadgets. Oh, and there is a big treasure in the purse, the master said that it was left by the grandfather, and it must be given to you, saying that as long as you don't die, you can protect the heart, and you can take it alive. ”
"Don't want this palace, this palace is already a person who is about to die, you can keep it, maybe it will be of great use in the future." said that he would take it out and give it to Xia Qingyi.
"No, no, this is a special instruction from the master to be left for you, and I can't accept it. What's more, I've inherited Gu Spirits, so I can't use them at all. Chu Jiaren saw that Xia Qingyi was really resolute, so she was no longer reluctant, and asked the last question.
"Do you know where your master is now?"
