Chapter Eighty-Nine: Fish Scales
When Ji Xian arrived at Murong Gui's courtyard, he was standing in the middle of the courtyard with his hands in his hands, and when he saw Ji Xian coming, he spoke: "This mission in the southwest sea is full of dangers, and I am really worried about the teacher. ”
"There are some things in this storage ring for you, so remember to be cautious." Murong returned and handed over a storage ring.
Ji Xian took it and bent down slightly: "Remember the teachings of the master, the disciples will not act recklessly." ”
Murong Gui nodded, and said, "You have always been sensible, and your teacher has rarely taught you anything, but you have grown a lot." ”
Murong Gui looked at his youngest apprentice, his eyes were gentle, and he sighed slightly in his heart, these words were both proud and regretful.
Thinking of the once immature little girl, now she has grown into her current beauty.
She has always been very sensible, when he was busy with the affairs of Shougui Peak and rarely taught her, she would not relax herself at all, her cultivation never fell behind, and she would share his worries and help him deal with the chores that gave him a headache.
He even thought that he had known that he would not compete with his junior sister Liu Tianqing for apprenticeship at the beginning, maybe if his junior sister taught her, her achievements would be higher.
He is not a good master, he was unruly when he was a teenager, and even often had gladiatorial fights with others, if it weren't for Shizun Ting Shuyun tolerating him, and his brothers and sisters not caring about him, he might still be the same arrogance now.
He successively accepted Zhongli and Jingyu as apprentices, they were all the same stinky boys, and the simplest teaching was to beat them with a sword.
And this little apprentice is different, she is a little girl, different from those two stinky boys with rough skin and thick flesh.
Murong Gui's deepest impression of the girl is that her younger sister Liu Tianqing often cried when she was a child.
Although he had never seen Ji Xian crying, Murong Gui still didn't know where to start, so he had to follow the method that Ting Shuyun had taught Liu Tianqing at the beginning, and carefully teach Ji Xian.
Murong Gui sighed slightly, didn't think too much about it, and asked instead, "Your traction technique is already very proficient, right?" ”
Ji Xian didn't know that Murong Gui had thought so much about it, and replied, "Yes." ”
"As the teacher knows, you are better at swordsmanship than swordsmanship, but once you have learned swordsmanship, you can't waste it." Murong Gui said slowly: "What I want to teach you today is another method of using swords. ”
"Draw the spirit sword, and the sword will dominate the enemy."
"As a teacher, I found out that you had a tendency to develop in this direction some time ago, but you don't know the essentials."
"Let's see." Murong Gui directly sacrificed his natal magic weapon, the Heavenly Whispering Sword.
The heart moved at will, the Tianyu Sword obeyed the master's traction, and as his mind flew around, his fingers moved slightly, and the spiritual power of the Tianyu Sword sword body increased, and the wisps of thunder surrounded the sword body, but with a random slash in the air, the ground in front of him burst up, and the sand splashed.
"It's a little different from Edgeworth's traction spell, so it's going to have to be done differently." Murong Gui put away his sword and returned his hand, and said to Ji Xian: "Come, teach you for the teacher." ”
Ji Xian nodded vigorously and took out the frost green sword.
She didn't have the cultivation strength like Murong Gui, she could move her heart at will, she could only put up her fingers, use her spiritual power between her fingers, and slowly pull the frost green sword.
The Frost Green Sword was still a little crooked, as if hanging on a rope, swaying left and right in the air.
Murong Gui walked over, raised his hand on her shoulder, and spiritual power gushed out, following Ji Xian's meridians, guiding her how to operate.
The frost green sword slowly straightened up, and Ji Xian followed the operation of Murong Gui's spiritual power, and slowly became familiar with the operation route.
"Try it yourself." Murong Gui let go of his hand and looked at her with a smile.
Ji Xian nodded, used his spiritual power, and controlled the Frost Green Sword little by little.
The frost green sword followed the direction she pointed, slashing horizontally, and after the initial unskillfulness, Ji Xian only felt handy.
It was a different experience from holding a sword in her hand, and she only felt comfortable with her wishes.
As soon as her mind moved, she increased her spiritual power, and the frost green sword faintly shone with light, and slashed in the direction of her finger, although the power was not as strong as Murong Gui, but it was also extremely powerful.
Murong Gui smiled and sighed, "Yes, you have already learned." ”
"Thank you for your teaching." Ji Xian was very happy, which solved her trouble of not being used to using a sword.
Although she uses a sword, she is not used to fighting with people in close quarters, so much so that after having Forget Worry Silk, she even used her mind to give up swordsmanship and focus on Forget Worry Silk and magic, but today Murong Gui taught her the Traction Spirit Sword, but this matter was solved.
Her swordsmanship has always been unsophisticated, even Gu Changqing can't look down on her swordsmanship, and has mocked her loudly, but that is an indisputable fact, Ji Xian is speechless.
Gu Changqing focuses on swords, and has always looked down on those monks who just use swords as shows, and the things that are unpleasant are very sharp, and Ji Xian is only a little merciful because he is friends with him, otherwise Ji Xian's unbearable temperament can endure it to this day?
It's not that both sides have regressed.
"By the way, Master, is Senior Sister Ye really from the Hidden Pavilion?" Ji Xian asked curiously.
Murong Gui laughed: "What? Doesn't look like it? ”
Ji Xian nodded honestly.
Ye Zunyu looked gentle and gentle, with a good temper, how could it be different from the cold Hidden Pavilion she imagined.
"Don't look at her on the surface that she is very kind." Murong Gui said leisurely: "Ye Zunyu is the person with the highest completion rate among the disciples of the Hidden Pavilion Yuanying. ”
So powerful?! Ji Xian was shocked.
"Don't look at appearances." Murong Gui sighed, turned around and strolled back to the room.
***
After Ji Xian returned to his room, he looked at the storage ring that Murong had given her, and his divine sense entered the space, and there were piles of magic weapons and pills, array plate rune papers, and spirit stones in it.
Ji Xian smacked his tongue, and was very moved by Shizun's concern for her and gave so many life-saving things, and quickly sorted them out.
Tomorrow is about to leave, Ji Xian packed up some things and put them all in the storage space.
This mission is very dangerous, and she doesn't know when she will be able to come back, she thought about it, and sent a message to Xie Lingxin and others, only saying that she had a mission from the head of the house this time, and she didn't know when she would return.
The specific content of the task is still inconvenient to disclose, I believe Xie Lingxin will understand.
She looked inward at the dantian, looked at Si Chunyin in the dantian, and was staying there quietly.
She and Si Chunyin were born together, they worked hard for each other to achieve the glory of the past, but now she is still too weak, and she can only rely on Si Chunyin to protect her.
"Alas......"
In the quiet of the night, a small sigh.
On the second day, Ji Xian prepared everything and went to the agreed place to gather.
Several people felt that they were juniors, and they came to the meeting place very early, waiting for Ye Zunyu to arrive.
"Fengqiu, Senior Brother Ye Zhi, Senior Brother Siyuan, Senior Brother Nianlin." Ji Xian said hello one by one.
Meng Siyuan and Meng Nianlin are the disciples of Qu Yanshu, the master of the Dan Dao Palace, and the senior brother of Mu Yunqi, the monk Qingzhou, while Ye Zhi is the disciple of Yan Liuguang, the master of the Sword Dao Hall, and the senior brother of Gu Changqing.
It's not unfamiliar to say that a few people are not unfamiliar.
"This is some of the pills that Qingzhou and Yunqi entrusted me to send to you and Senior Brother Xiao." Meng Siyuan took out several bottles of pills from the storage space and handed them to Ji Xian: "Qingzhou said." Although I don't know how you are carrying out your mission, it must be very dangerous, so I will give you some elixir. ”
"As for Yunqi ......" Meng Siyuan thought for a while, and said helplessly: "There are too many words, and I haven't written them down, which probably means that you should be careful." ”
Meng Nianlin said with a smile: "I have clearly written down what Senior Brother Yunqi said, do you want me to repeat it to you?" ”
Ji Xian twitched the corners of his mouth and shook his head quickly: "No, no!" ”
She wasn't that boring, she listened to Mu Yunqi talk a lot, she just knew that she just cared about them.
However, after a while, I saw Xie Lingxin and Jiang Yu coming over, and they also stuffed Ji Xian and Xiao Fengqiu with a bunch of things, so they left satisfied.
Xiao Fengqiu thanked him, received the storage space, and returned to lightness.
Ji Xianmu sent the two away, and as soon as she collected her things and returned to the storage space, she heard a gentle sigh from behind her: "Sometimes, it's good to care about your friends......"
Ji Xian hurriedly turned around: "Senior Sister Ye." ”
"Senior Sister Ye." Several others also saluted.
"No problem." Ye Zunyu smiled: "Since it's already ready, let's go." ”
Ye Zunyu took out a small boat, and soon enlarged and stopped in the sky.
She was the first to go up, and Ji Xian and others jumped up.
"This mission is very urgent, and there may be no rest time along the way." Ye Zunyu started the flying boat and said, "This way, you can only rely on meditation to regulate your breath. ”
"Senior Sister Ye, how long will it take to get to the southwest sea?" Meng Nianlin asked.
"The southwest sea is located in a remote location, and if you take a flying boat all the time, it will take more than a month." Ye Zunyu said: "This is calculated according to the fastest speed. ”
"It's so far." Meng Nianlin sighed.
"yes, so get your spirits right." Ye Zunyu smiled: "Okay, there are enough rooms on this flying boat, you can each pick one and rest." ”
***
In this way, they meditated and practiced all the way, without the slightest stop, and everyone understood that this mission was very important, and they had to hurry up, so that no one shouted to stop the flying boat and go down to see something.
Finally, a month later, it reached the southwest sea.
The sea breeze here is vast and very comfortable, but the sea village not far away is full of corpses.
Several people were not in the mood to feel the vastness of the sea, but they entered the talisman array with a heavy heart.
For more than a month, the corpses here have become stinky and dry.
"It's safe in the rune array, let's search separately." Ye Zunyu said, taking the lead in choosing a direction.
Ji Xian didn't say much and looked for a direction to check the corpse.
What she saw was the corpse of a monk, it seemed to be a loose cultivator, although the corpse had been left for too long, she could still see clearly, this corpse was all bitten by wild beasts, and the arm was missing, and the flesh on the body was bitten down.
Ji Xian looked disgusting.
What kind of monster is it?
She went into the house again and found some of the dried fish in the house left there, untouched.
Until he finished checking his side, Ji Xian still felt clueless.
"How's it going?" Ye Zunyu asked.
"I can't tell what kind of demon beast it is, I only know that the demon beast probably lives in groups, and its teeth are very sharp, and its habits are vicious." Meng Siyuan frowned.
Ji Xian thought for a while and asked hesitantly, "Are the corpses you searched all male?" ”
"Yes, it's all male." Xiao Fengqiu said.
Meng Nianlin seemed to think of something, and his face turned pale: "This ethnic group will not be in the reproduction period, so ......" His unfinished words, everyone understood, and instantly felt disgusted.
Ye Zunyu took out something: "Look." ”
"Fish scales?" Ye Zhi hesitated.
"Yes, fish scales!" Ye Zunyu affirmed.
