Chapter 9 Holidays

After Lian Wenying cared about the schoolwork of the two, Shi Zhuqing pulled Chu Xiangyun and left Chen Wanjing's house quickly, but I have to admit that the mood of the two was much lighter than before.

Walking along the path, Chu Xiangyun suddenly said, "I don't think I'm dead. ”

Shi Zhuqing glanced at her in some surprise and hesitated, "You want to say...... We remember his deeds, so he lives in our hearts? ”

Was Xiangyun such an emotional person?

Chu Xiangyun shook his head, stopped talking, and left Shi Zhuqing to meditate on the spot.

She walked forward for a while, and when she saw that Shi Zhuqing hadn't followed, she went back to look at her.

Shi Zhuqing looked at her, and still couldn't help the doubts in his heart, "Why did you say that he didn't die?" ”

Chu Xiangyun suddenly talked about another topic, "Zhuqing, do you believe in the existence of souls?" ”

"Huh?"

"Do you want to say that the soul of the Fool is still on that artifact?" Shi Zhuqing couldn't help but raise his voice, "Xiangyun, your eyes can still see this?" ”

Shi Zhuqing felt as if his world had collapsed and been reshaped.

But she didn't expect Chu Xiangyun to be more shocked than her, "What? Can my eyes still see the soul? ”

“…………”

After smashing Chu Xiangyun's head with a thousand gully seals, Shi Zhu said refreshedly: "So why do you say that you are not dead?" ”

Chu Xiangyun covered his head a little aggrieved, "Because the spiritual power I see is different." ”

In order to prevent being beaten again, Chu Xiangyun rarely sped up his speech and continued: "At first, I thought that as we speculated, it was because the magic was fused with the spatial spirit weapon, so the spiritual power I saw was different from that of ordinary people. ”

"But I saw that the spiritual power in the teacher's hand and the spiritual power on the body of the fool have a special overlap."

"I don't think she came here to find Teacher Chen in order to explain the wrong things to us, right?"

Shi Zhuqing also sensed that something was wrong at this time and nodded.

"So what did she do when she came to Teacher Chen?"

"Come to be Zhuqing's aunt?"

Syllable.

Shi Zhuqing thought for a long time and still couldn't come to a conclusion, "I don't know...... But it's strange for you to say that. My uncle had very little contact with his former friends, and I had never heard of him having a friend named Lian Wenying. ”

"Moreover, the atmosphere they get along with is not like friends, and they are a little rusty." Chu Xiangyun added.

Chu Xiangyun is rarely so sensitive to the feelings between people, Shi Zhuqing was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he immediately understood, and his heart was warm, "Not all friends will get along like us." ”

After all, we have been childhood sweethearts for nearly ten years.

Chu Xiangyun tilted his head.

"Well, you're right, they don't really look like friends. So why do you think she came to my uncle? ”

"I think it has something to do with the space spirit weapon that is said to be coming soon." Chu Xiangyun also stopped selling Guan Zi and directly stated the result.

"But that's what I got backwards." Chu Xiangyun picked up a branch on the side of the road, drew a circle on the ground, and wrote the word "connection" on it.

"First of all, I want to state that I have seen the simulated 'Lian Wen Ying' in the examination room, the character model is very exquisitely constructed, and the spiritual power is almost no different from the current Teacher Lian, but the strength of the spiritual power is much weaker."

"So the difference between the fallacies in the exam room and the outside of the exam room won't be too big, I understand what you mean, so let's go on."

Chu Xiangyun nodded, "This circle represents Teacher Lian's spiritual power." ”

Then she drew another circle next to it, and wrote the word "fallacy" on it, the two circles were staggered, and the overlapping parts, Chu Xiangyun wrote the word "spiritual weapon".

Shi Zhuqing looked at the illustration thoughtfully.

Chu Xiangyun continued: "Everyone's spiritual power in this world is different, unless it is because of the blood connection, there will be some overlap. ”

"Even the spiritual power on the teacher's body, only the part of his hand is the same as the fallacy. But because it doesn't belong to her, it's just contaminated from nowhere, so the color is very pale and almost invisible. If it weren't for the tweet, I wouldn't have noticed. ”

Seeing that the star flying squirrel crossed his waist, Shi Zhuqing pressed his hands and decided to let it be proud for a while.

"At this point, it's actually very clear, even the intersection between the teacher and the fallacy is most likely to be the spatial spirit weapon. So I speculate that Teacher Lian should have been in contact with that spatial spirit weapon before she came, and her coming to Teacher Chen may also have something to do with it, I don't know what it is. ”

"Maybe it's product promotion." Shi Zhuqing touched her chin and guessed, but she didn't know anything about business, but she just felt that even the teacher's very good talking appearance looked like he was in charge of the Propaganda Department of Lingxiao Mansion, and she could check it on the Internet when she turned around.

"I originally thought that the difference in the body was because of the spatial spirit weapon, but now it seems that after removing this part, his spiritual power is still very different from that of people in the phantom realm."

"So, what's the difference?" Shi Zhuqing asked, although Chu Xiangyun had tried her best to explain, she was still a little puzzled.

"Hmm......" Chu Xiangyun bit his lip, "It's hard to explain clearly in words, the biggest difference may be—"

"His spiritual power is alive."

"There is light in him. It's not like the neon of the city or the light reflected by cold objects, but it's like ...... Sea level in the morning sun. ”

"It's sparkling and beautiful, but it's not dazzling, it's hard to forget."

Shi Zhuqing fell silent, and both of them were a little distracted at the same time.

After a long time, she whispered with a little loneliness: "I want to see it too...... I want to see the world as I see it. ”

"What?" Chu Xiangyun was awakened by her voice and asked subconsciously.

“…… It's okay. Shi Zhuqing cleaned up his mood, "Why didn't you tell Teacher Lian at that time?" ”

"Because I'm not sure, after all, I haven't seen that spirit weapon with my own eyes, and with our current status, I don't think I can see the spirit weapon itself."

"But I suppose you'll accompany me to find that artifact, right?"

"Let's go and find out the truth together."

Chu Xiangyun looked at her directly, they had been together for so long, even if she couldn't see her eyes, Shi Zhuqing could feel her rare serious mood.

“…… Defeated to you. ”

She took a step forward and took off Chu Xiangyun's blindfold.

"You can tell if I'm lying based on the fluctuations in my spiritual power, right?"

"I promise you, I will accompany you."

…… I will be with you until I catch up with you and stand by your side.

*

There is still a month before the start of school in Lingxiao Mansion, which is not a long time, but it is enough to make some new students prepare for the start of school and give a small makeover.

Specifically-

Shi Zhuqing uncharacteristically participated in Chu Xiangyun's morning jogging in Kexi Lin.

Early in the morning, when the sky was still bright, she waited on the road that Chu Xiangyun had to pass, gritting her teeth to keep up with her pace.

"Didn't you say before that there was no need to waste time on these physical activities?"

In fact, Shizhuqing has always refused all activities that make her sweat. Although she never said it, Chu Xiangyun knew that she actually cared very much about her external image.

Was Kexi Forest that big?

Shi Zhuqing glanced at Chu Xiangyun breathlessly, he really didn't have the strength to reply to her, but he waved his hand weakly and told her to run first.

Chu Xiangyun let go of the doubts in his heart, and overtook Shi Zhuqing according to his previous rhythm, and did not stop after running to the finish line, but after taking a short rest, he picked up the bow on the weapon rack and began to practice basic shooting.

After she finished her daily morning training, the sun had already risen, the sun was sprinkled between the leaves, the shadows of the trees were swaying, the crisp birdsong was heard in her ears from time to time, and even the air exuded a fresh breath, which was really a refreshing place.

A shadow covered Shi Zhuqing, who was lying on the ground, she opened her eyes, grabbed Chu Xiangyun's outstretched hand, and got up with her strength, but then leaned against the trunk of the tree next to her.

"Don't lie down immediately after running." Chu Xiangyun advised.

Shi Zhuqing didn't even have the strength to speak, if it weren't for Chu Xiangyun's sharp eyes, I am afraid that she would not be able to see the slight arc when she nodded.

Chu Xiangyun rarely saw her embarrassed appearance, and glanced at her with a little novelty, but he didn't open his mouth to persuade her.

She knows her childhood sweetheart better than anyone else, and she knows that she won't give up easily since she speaks.

Although there are no words between the two, the silence is more intimate.

After a while, Chu Xiangyun got up.

"Zamabu, are you coming?"

"Come!"

Shi Zhuqing followed behind her.

After another moment.

"Step on the pile, come?"

"Come on."

Shi Zhuqing's legs trembled, but he refused to admit defeat and patted a "recovery" on his body with a thousand gully seals, and followed again.

"Sparring, are you coming?"

“…… Come. ”

Shi Zhuqing struggled to get up with the help of the plum blossom pile, feeling a little blurry in front of him.

……

“…… Come...... Is it? ”

Shi Zhuqing opened his eyes suddenly, and before he could hear what the other party said, he subconsciously replied: "Come on!" ”

The man looked at her with a smile, "What are you coming from?" Do you also have a bow that needs to be serviced? ”

"Huh?"

Shi Zhuqing shook his head to wake himself up, and then he saw that the person who spoke was a caster from the Chu family, and her feather pendant was still shining in the sun as she spoke.

“…… Sister Lan Ji. She bowed her head a little embarrassed and said hello, only to see the bracelet only to realize that it was late, and her face changed, "Oh no, it's already time for dinner, and if I don't go back, my mother won't spare me!" ”

She hurriedly climbed up by holding on to the tree, and didn't forget to wave her hand to Chu Xiangyun when she ran away, "Xiangyun, Sister Lan Ji, I'll go first!" Come back tomorrow! ”

"I think Zhuqing is still quite talented, look how fast this runs."

Chu Lanji teased Shi Zhuqing with a smile, and then turned around and continued to talk to Chu Xiangyun.

"The bow you took before is so badly damaged that ordinary repair and maintenance can't return to its previous state, did you use it to smash the fog sulfur rock?" Chu Lanji said that there was still a little distress in his eyes, of course - it was for the bow.

"I've got to make you a new one, you're getting taller, aren't you? You have time to go to me, and I will measure the length of your lower arm. ”

Looking at the girl in front of her, she couldn't help but chatter as she spoke, "You are now in the growth period, your body is growing fast, don't be stingy with food and clothing after going to Lingxiao Mansion, you are the only child in the Chu family's generation, we are not short of money, you don't need to save us money, you know?" ”

Chu Xiangyun nodded again and again.

"I didn't smash the stones, I smashed the white-scaled beast."

"I've probably grown taller lately, and I sometimes feel bone pain in the middle of the night."

"I see."

Chu Lanji was still a little crying and laughing when she heard her first sentence, and then she was only distressed.

She lowered her head slightly, raised her hand and touched the feather pendant in Chu Xiangyun's ear with the same style as herself, staring at it but sighing softly, with thousands of thoughts in her mind.

When Chu Xiangyun first came to Chu's house, her height was only as high as Chu Lanji's calves, and today, they are already of similar height, and Chu Xiangyun should be taller than her next time they see each other.

The Chu family has been responsible for protecting the territory and the people for generations, and most of the clansmen are good at archers, and they have received the influence of their ancestors, and most of their destinations after completing their studies are battlefields. And Chu Lanji, as a rare caster of the Chu family, is responsible for staying in the rear, so she can be regarded as watching Chu Xiangyun grow up.

But even so, she still didn't dare to say that she knew the child in front of her completely.

Chu Xiangyun has few words, and he prefers action to words.

Chu Xiangyun's talent is outstanding, and those eyes are not her flaws, but a proof of her uniqueness.

Chu Xiangyun has very few friends, only Shi Zhuqing is alone. But more often than not, Chu Lanji always saw her sitting alone on a tree in a daze, and no one could see the point of her eyes through that blindfold.

Even Chu Xiangyun's life experience has not been known so far.
