Chapter Thirty-Eight: Vivi's Yearning

The speed of opening up the 'Great Zhou Tian Cycle' to absorb the power of the stars was greatly increased, and about an hour later, Lin Junxuan replenished most of the 'mana' that had disappeared in his body.

"Still no, recite the third mantra, the 'mana' will be insufficient," has failed for six days, from the second handprint can not be produced continuously, to now only the last handprint, Lin Junxuan has improved a lot, but it is still not enough.

After replenishing the consumed mana, Lin Junxuan sat in the shade of the old ancient cypress tree again, holding his cheeks, silently thinking about the reasons for the failure. Lin Junxuan has read the book of sages, the ancients paid attention to 'a gentleman said that three provinces have been', Lin Junxuan does not think that he is a gentleman, but summing up the lessons and lessons, it is still possible not to make the same mistake three times.

"Fool, what are you thinking? Eat something when you're hungry. "A mountain came, Lin Junxuan followed the prestige, only to see a girl in blue walking briskly along the winding stone steps towards the mountain, carrying a light brown bamboo basket in the crook of her small arm. A gust of mountain wind swept in from below, and the smell of food spread across the mountaintop.

"Sister Weiwei," Lin Junxuan called softly, the girl who came down the mountain was the daughter of Uncle Songhe, this was not the first time she had gone up the mountain, she had eaten a few hot meals and hot dishes she sent at night, Lin Junxuan was already familiar with her, and every time she sent food up, she would chat for a while.

"Wei girl, you have brought food again, what's the matter, do you have a share of the uncle?" In front of the grave, Songyu opened his eyes and smiled at the girl walking in the dark.

Wei Wei walked up the hill with a bright smile on her face: "Uncle Shi, I knew you would say that." Wei Wei had prepared a pot of wine for you, which she had specially warmed before coming, and there were a few other side dishes I made myself, so please try it. With that, Wei Wei walked to Songyu, took out a piece of cloth from the bamboo basket, carefully spread it on the ground, and then took out a bottle of warm wine in a white porcelain pot, and put two side dishes and a pair of cups and chopsticks on the square rags.

"Uncle Shi, you eat slowly. Vivi chuckled, and Lianbu walked away.

"Wei girl has a heart. Songyu smiled, took the bamboo chopsticks on the white porcelain wine glass, poured the warmth from the wine cup, and drank it alone.

"Brother, this is for you. When Wei Wei approached, a corner of the white cloth covering the bamboo basket was revealed, and Lin Junxuan saw the steaming heat coming out of it, obviously the food had just been cooked.

"Sister Weiwei, thank you. Lin Junxuan said gratefully. Practicing is very tiring and physically exhausting, and being able to eat a hot meal on such a night is obviously an extremely enjoyable thing for Lin Junxuan.

"Hehe, who told you to be my brother? Sister takes care of my brother, that's how it should be," Weiwei said, squatting down and taking out the food from the bamboo basket. Three bowls of white jade rice, a plate of small green peppers, a plate of hot and sour beans, and a plate of white tofu.

Lin Junxuan hadn't eaten anything for a day, and the only hot food was two hot steamed buns in the morning. Cultivation consumes a lot of physical strength, Lin Junxuan is already hungry, and when he smells the aroma of hot food, he is even hungrier. I took the chopsticks and devoured them. When the fragrant white jade rice is swallowed in the stomach, it is not only warm in the stomach, but also warm in the heart. When Lin Junxuan was eating, Weiwei squatted next to him and watched him eat with a smile. It seems that the one who is satisfied with eating is not Lin Junxuan, but himself.

Lin Junxuan felt that Wei Wei really seemed to see herself as his little brother. She looked at herself like an older sister doting on her younger brother, very pure.

"Eat slowly, don't rush......" Weiwei smiled.

"Sister Weiwei, isn't cultivation light, why do you still put so many green peppers?" After eating for a while, Lin Junxuan put down the bowl and asked.

"I don't want to live forever, why should I eat vegetarian food every day? And my master spoils me very much, she won't forbid anything I want to eat. Vivi tilted her head sideways, and said as a matter of course.

"Is the green pepper delicious?" Seeing Lin Junxuan nodded, Wei Wei smiled happily: "Yesterday I went to the bottom of the mountain to get a piece of broken silver and bought it, and there are a lot of them." If you like it, I'll copy it for you. ”

"Cultivators rarely know how to cook, Sister Weiwei, what else do you do besides this?" Lin Junxuan said suspiciously, in his impression, Weiwei could reach the Jindan grade at the age of sixteen, so the cultivation should be very hardworking, and it stands to reason that he should not be interested in these things.

"In addition to copying vegetables, I can also be a female celebrity, and I can also plant ......flowers," Wei Wei pointed and said seriously: "It's too boring in the mountains, I have to find something to do." ”

"Doesn't our Fangcun Sect recruit some children every year? Sister Weiwei, why don't you play with them?" Lin Junxuan never understood that there were many children in the sect who were about the same age as herself, so why didn't she look for them, but came to find herself.

Hearing Lin Junxuan ask this, Wei Wei looked a little embarrassed, crossed her hands, and blushed a little on her face: "This...... This, you are not allowed to talk nonsense with other senior brothers in the sect!"

"Well, of course not. Lin Junxuan nodded.

"I learned to be a female celebrity, and I learned to cook very quickly, that is, ...... I just don't know how to read. Don't get me wrong, I learned the ancient seal characters very quickly, and I learned all the ancient seal characters in five days, which is the official book...... Not really, I have a headache when I see it, there is one less stroke, one less stroke here, it is not a word at all, no matter how much the master teaches me, I can't learn it!" Wei Wei said this, and lowered her head embarrassedly.

Lin Junxuan's eyes widened and he looked at her incredulously. Others think that there are too many strokes of ancient seal characters, which are too strange and difficult to learn, but she thinks that there are too few strokes in Lishu. She learned the ancient seal characters that were difficult to learn, but she couldn't learn the simple official script!!

"I heard Master say that the people under the mountain all use the official script, and the ancient seal characters are only used by us monks and a small number of people. Actually, I don't like monasticism, I've always longed for the life of the mundane world, I heard that in the mundane world scholars and Xiucai are very respected, they use official books to get fame, I really want to take a look. Saying that, Wei Wei showed a yearning look on her face: "The other disciples in the Fangcun Sect are too dull, they only know how to practice, and they can't wait to turn one hour into two hours to practice, which is very boring." I heard my dad say that you write well and like to read, plus I always wanted to have a younger brother, so ...... Hee-hee, you're my brother. ”

"......" Hearing this, Lin Junxuan probably knew that there were so many people in Fangcun Mountain, and she would like to be close to herself: "By the way, didn't you say that you went down the mountain?"

"It's just to the foot of the mountain, and the farthest is to Fangcun Mountain. However, the inner sect does not allow female disciples to enter. Daddy never allowed me to stay in the mountains for a day, by the way," Wei Wei suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Junxuan with a serious face: "I heard that the scholars and talents in the mortal world are very elegant and handsome, and they always carry antique sage scrolls on their bodies, and they quote scriptures and classics when they speak, and they are just, upright, humble and polite to girls, gentle and elegant, and very popular with girls. You came down from the mountain, have you seen them?"

The more Lin Junxuan listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't help asking, "Where did you hear it?"

"Mother told me?" Vivi said with wide eyes.

"Mother, which mother, who is the mother?" Lin Junxuan became more and more puzzled.

"My mother is my nursing mother, I was raised by my nursing mother and master since I was a child. I used to be too bored in the mountains, so I pestered my mother to tell me stories. Brother, you haven't told me yet, you've seen that cause Xiucai at the bottom of the mountain, they ...... They," Wei Wei said in a shy voice, "Is it true that you always have a scroll in your hand, and sometimes a folding fan?"

"Storytelling......" Hearing this, Lin Junxuan finally understood where the stories she heard came from. What kind of story, it's just some legends of Zhiwei, she probably heard too much about this kind of fox demon and scholar or met in a broken temple or on a broken bridge, and finally fell in love, and she took it seriously.

"The world has been in turmoil for three hundred years, and the Hongji Dynasty has just been established, and it is impossible for a scholar and a fox demon to fall in love like this. Three hundred years ago was the prosperity of the Dayu Dynasty, the country and the people were peaceful, and the Quartet was peaceful, Weiwei's aunt told her that it should be something that could only happen during that period," his eyes inadvertently swept over Songyu's figure, and Lin Junxuan's heart moved: "Sister Weiwei must have heard the story of the master and the master, and she yearned for this kind of secular legend." ”

Lin Junxuan didn't want to dampen her enthusiasm, and she didn't want to have some kind of fantasy, so after thinking about it, Lin Junxuan said: "The kind of scholar that Sister Weiwei said, there must be one under the mountain." But even if we cultivators have the same level of cultivation, the scholars under this mountain must be different. There must be the kind of gentle, humble and polite scholar you are talking about, but there are very few and very few people who can meet them, but I have never seen them before going up the mountain. ”

"That's it......" The bright light in the girl's eyes dimmed, but soon brightened again: "When I reach the second grade of Jindan, let Master take me to the big cities of the mortal world to have a look." ”

"As long as Sister Weiwei wants to, she will definitely be able to find that gentle, humble, polite and scholarly student. Lin Junxuan couldn't help but smile.

"You're a little young, you're only twelve years old, what are you talking about, I'm not looking for some gentle scholar!" Wei Wei blushed, a girl of this age is the time for love. Such a girl has been confined for a long time, and she will naturally yearn for a distant life.

"I know, just don't say it," Somehow, Lin Junxuan suddenly felt a trace of sympathy for her: "Sister Weiwei, if you have a chance in the future, I will take you to the big cities where ordinary people live outside Fangcun Mountain." ”

Lin Junxuan said very seriously, Wei Wei was stunned for a moment, a beautiful face smiled, stretched out a jade onion-like finger, and said happily: "Then, say okay, don't regret it!"

Seeing the girl's outstretched finger, Lin Junxuan was slightly stunned, and finally stretched out his finger and hooked with Weiwei.

"Hee-hee, you can't afford it now. With a burst of laughter, the girl raised her cheeks and looked up at the dark sky, her face a little lonely: "I kept going down the mountain, but Master and Daddy never let me, they said that we cultivators are not suitable for that kind of life, and ...... Now is not the time. ”

Lin Junxuan was silent, of course he knew why Songhe and Weiwei's master wouldn't let her go down the mountain. Three years ago, he followed the master who pointed to the heavens and the earth through most of the world at the foot of the mountain, and he knew very well what the world was like under the rule of the Hongji Dynasty. Although this dynasty has ambition and determination, it is too young after all. 'The mountain is high and the emperor is far away', and many places are still beyond the reach of this dynasty, and they are still in chaos. When Wei Wei went down the mountain at this time, all she saw was chaos and ruin, and besides, she had seen too few people and things, and her thoughts were too simple, just as Uncle Songhe and her master said, she was not suitable for life under the mountain!
