Chapter 37: The Grapevine
"What's so special." Ember Huan blushed and turned his head, "He just looks at me pitiful, don't talk nonsense." ”
"Is that so?" Ziyi approached Ember Huan suspiciously, and suddenly said, "Since there is nothing between you and Senior Brother Pei, then I also like Senior Brother Pei, you won't rob me of it, right?" ”
Hearing this, Ember Huan was stunned, a smile was fixed on his face, and he slowed down for a while before he said, "Okay, I won't rob you." ”
After the winter, Fengqi Sect was covered with a thick layer of snow, and the snow would not reach the feet and necks after stepping on it.
Although the snow scene is very beautiful, it is very unfriendly to the disciples who often have to hunt demons outside, and they fall into the mud when they come back from time to time.
In the early morning, Hongying led several disciples to clear the snow in front of the Pure Heart Hall, and the snow swept on both sides of the road, dividing a clean road.
This year, Fengqi Sect has entered many new disciples, and even Ziyi, who has been babbling all day, has become a senior sister with a higher seniority.
Seeing that it was going to snow again, the road had not been cleared yet, and the disciples brought out by the red tassel had already swept their wrists, she looked at Yan Jingming, the disciple at the head, "Jingming, go and call a few disciples to clean up, and send a few more to the martial arts arena, so as not to wait for the snow to melt and freeze." ”
Yan Jingming stretched his waist and replied: "Aunt Hongying, you can't catch a few of us tossing, Ziyi and Ember Huan are still roasting in the room, let them go." ”
Hongying glared at him, and said in a serious tone: "It hasn't been long since Ember Huan and Ziyi came out of retreat, and their hearts are not stable, you hurry up, don't talk so much nonsense." ”
"Where is Ember Huan unstable?" Yan Jingming retorted: "She was out of the customs yesterday, and I don't know what the master taught her, and she tricked me for half a day." ”
"Alright, when the snow is cleared, you take them to the cellar to get a few bottles of wine."
Wine from the cellar!
Yan Jingming's eyes suddenly lit up, those wines and the dew picked by Aunt Hongying every day were brewed with flowers, the wine was mellow and mild, and he would not get drunk after drinking a few jars.
"Okay, I'll go!" Yan Jingming casually threw the broom on the ground and slipped away with a rub.
Yan Jingming bypassed the mountain road to the backyard, and he didn't have to think about it to know that the senior brother Yan Jingxuan must be playing together in Ziyi and Ember Huan's room.
With the passage of time, the disciples have grown up a lot, only Yan Jingxuan and Ziyi are still like children all day long, playing every day, but the master is getting closer to the two of them, and he also wants to let the two of them get married.
Sure enough, as soon as he approached Ember Huan's small courtyard, he heard giggling inside, and he didn't know what was being said inside, laughing so happily.
Yan Jingming stretched out his hand to push open the door and asked, "What are you talking about?" Laughing so happily, say it and let me hear it too. ”
The three people in the room raised their heads at the same time, wearing the sect clothes of Fengqi Sect, and were roasting around a brazier, Ziyi saw that it was the second senior brother, and waved his hand at him, "Second senior brother, come and play together, this is so fun." ”
Ziyi is sixteen years old this year, her face is less immature than before, with a girlish atmosphere on her body, and her black hair is tied in a bun, with two bright pearls lining her even more moving.
Yan Jingming didn't say anything polite to her, he walked over and saw that it was a chessboard, and seeing that the chess pieces were almost wrapped, he shook his head and sighed: "Senior sister, if you are a white child, I am afraid you will lose." ”
"How so!" Ziyi snorted and dropped a word on the chessboard, "Hmph, as long as I put one more chess piece, I will win!" ”
Yan Jingxuan quietly blocked her chess pieces, connected her own chess pieces again, and said softly: "Ziyi, you lost." ”
"Huh?" Ziyi was stunned, stretched out his fingers and counted them one by one, and found that he really lost, shrinking together like a deflated ball, "It's all to blame on the second senior brother, it was he who disturbed my thoughts, which made me lose." ”
Yan Jingming waved his hand innocently, "I didn't say anything, but how is this different from the chess I played before, why didn't I see how the senior brother won?" ”
"This is a new way of playing that Big Brother has researched." Ziyi explained: "One person has a box of chess pieces, and as long as you connect five chess pieces on the chessboard, you win. ”
Yan Jingming's eyes lit up, "So fun?" I'm going to play a game too. ”
"Hmph, don't play anymore!" Ziyi angrily stretched out his hand and pushed indiscriminately on the chessboard, "It's not fun, I can't win every time, I lost all afternoon!" ”
Yan Jingming smiled: "In this case, come with me, Aunt Hongying asked me to come over." ”
"Aunt Hongying?" Ziyi looked at Yan Jingming suspiciously, "Second Senior Brother, I have been very honest recently, and I have completed the spell taught me by Aunt Hongying. ”
"No, it's that the snow is too big in the past few days, Aunt Hongying asked the disciples of the sect to clear the snow, and now there are not enough people, and no one is going to clean the martial arts field, so let's go over and clean up."
As soon as Ziyi heard this, he hurriedly picked up the cloak next to him and put it on, "Let's go, lest it be too late, Aunt Hongying will scold." ”
Yan Jingxuan smiled helplessly when she saw her like this, got up and followed behind her, "Will you still play chess after you come back from clearing the snow?" If you lose, you'll have to make me peach blossom cake tomorrow according to our previous bet. ”
"Hmph, it's not certain who loses and who wins." Ziyi tilted his head and said loudly, as if he had won.
Hearing the two of them talking and laughing and walking out, Yan Jingming followed out with a smile, thinking that Ziyi's mind should have changed a little after half a year of retreat and cultivation, but he didn't expect that it was still the same as before, and he was still closer to the senior brother.
Thinking of this, Yan Jingming looked at Yan Jingxuan's departing back with some jealousy, obviously both of them were disciples of Fengqi Sect, why was he a senior brother, he was a second senior brother, why should Ziyi be closer to him.
"Senior brother, the master said that he would send his disciples down the mountain to experience in a few days, and I heard that Ember Huan was also among the people who went down the mountain this time."
As soon as he heard Ember Huan's name, Yan Jingxuan didn't feel much of it, but Ziyi ran back again with great interest, "Ember Huan is going down the mountain to practice?" What about me? What about me? ”
"I just heard Aunt Hongying and Master talking about this, if there is any, you don't know yet, maybe you are among them."
"Great, great!" Ziyi jumped happily, "As long as I can go down the mountain, I will definitely be able to convince Master, and Master will definitely let me be with Ember Huan!" ”
Since Ember Huan recovered from her injury, she has been cultivating with Master Qing Jue, and she has been on the mountain for a year, she can only see Ember Huan a few times, and in the second half of the year, she is in retreat, and Ember Huan is also in retreat, and there is very little time to get along.
As soon as he heard that he could go down the mountain to practice, Ziyi was so happy that he couldn't do it, and pulled Yan Jingxuan to jump, "Senior brother, I'm going to go down the mountain with Ember Huan to practice, I'm going to go down the mountain with Ember Huan to practice." ”
