CHAPTER XXXI
Lin Jiu turned his head and thought about it, he could be said to have no realm before, and he had never gone out of the sect to perform the task of an inner disciple, and he didn't know how big the gap between this realm was, and at a closer look today, he understood the importance of building a foundation, and the two family members at the door had just checked it with their spiritual sense, one was in the middle stage of qi training, and the other was just in the late stage of qi training, and was pressed by Ji Qiuhai's spiritual pressure, one fainted directly, and the other couldn't even straighten his waist, and he couldn't speak.
If Ji Qiuhai wants to kill him, part-time work is like pinching an ant to death, what if he is in the late stage of Qi training, he is a half-immortal in the mouth of mortals, and in the eyes of these monks who have built the foundation, he is still like a mortal.
Thinking of this, Lin Jiu's desire to build a foundation became even stronger.
"What is Senior Brother Lin thinking?" Ji Qiuhai suddenly asked when he saw that Lin Jiu didn't speak.
"It's nothing, it's just that when I saw Senior Brother Ji teach a lesson just now, I felt the difference in this realm for a while, and I was shocked a lot for a while, Senior Brother."
Ji Qiuhai turned his head to look at Lin Jiu, smiled slightly and said, "Also, you haven't gone out to be a deacon disciple before, so naturally you haven't seen the real fight between monks, or the suppression of the realm, and the martial arts competitions in the sect over the years, Senior Brother Lin has never seen it, and it is normal to be shocked for a while, and when you build the foundation one day, you will understand the feeling of leaving the mortal world and embarking on the road of real rebellion."
While the two were talking, they had already walked to the door of the welcome hall in the courtyard, and a family with a long beard walked quickly in front of Ji Qiuhai, knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Ji Youfu welcomes Young Master Qiuhai home, the eldest son and the second prince are already waiting in the hall, and I also ask Young Master Qiuhai and this immortal master to follow the old child into the hall."
"Well, get up, Uncle Fu," Ji Qiuhai used his spiritual power to reach out and hold up the family.
Ji Youfu looked at Ji Qiuhai in amazement, and hurriedly said, "Young Master Xie Qiuhai, the young master is now strong in mana, and he will definitely be comparable to the ancestor one day." β
The housekeeper named Ji Youfu turned sideways and walked towards the hall with the two of them.
"Xiaobai, you go to the mountains and wait for me, you are also bored here, you come to me again in the evening"
Xiaobai nodded, turned around and disappeared with a swish.
In the hall, on the two seats in the middle, there were two old men on crutches, their beards and hair were all white, and there were also several old men who were over the age of sixtieth sitting on the chairs on both sides.
Ji Qiuhai led Lin Jiu to step forward and bowed and said, "Qiuhai, I have seen the eldest uncle and the second uncle, as well as all the uncles and uncles, this is my little junior brother, named Lin Jiu."
"Lin Jiu has seen all the Ji family members"
"Ji Qiuhai, you are so majestic, you injured your own family before you entered the door, do you want to be majestic when you come back?" An old man with no white face in the middle of the few seats on the right shouted angrily.
Ji Qiuhai didn't speak.
An old man sitting in the middle said slowly, "Fourth brother, I know Qiu Hai's temper, it must be the subordinate who guards the door who mocked or scolded Qiu Hai with words, so he will be taught a lesson by Qiu Hai.
"Second brother, I've never seen you protect this kid so much before, and now that people are already building foundations, they won't necessarily let your mortal hot face stick to other people's immortal butts"
"Fourth, you should be careful when you speak, Qiu Liang will be out of the customs tomorrow, if you know that his fourth uncle is disrespectful, you know my child's irritable temper"
"Hmph, you don't use your child to press me, that is, my family Ji Shan is not here, you think I'm afraid of you, Ji Qiuliang's kid is not the master of the Ji family now. β
"Okay, don't make any more noise, there was another group of inner disciples missing yesterday, are you still in the mood to make trouble here?" The old man sitting in the middle opened his closed eyes and said sharply.
Ji Qiuhai's second uncle glanced at Ji Qiuhai and said, "The letter sent by your uncle, you must have seen it, you have worked hard all the way back, go back to our courtyard to rest for one night, and when your brother is out of the customs tomorrow, we will discuss this matter together." β
"It's okay, then Qiuhai will take Senior Brother Lin back to the courtyard to rest first, and then discuss tomorrow."
The uncle sitting in the middle nodded, and stopped talking, Ji Qiuhai took Lin Jiu from the back door of the hall to the courtyard.
"Hmph, it's such a big show, I have to wait for a group of elders to come out to greet me when I come back," the fourth child who had quarreled with the second child of the Ji family just now muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Forget the fourth brother, don't say it, who called people are now a fairy-like existence in our eyes, do you have a three-hundred-year lifespan?
"Third brother, our children are also monks in the foundation building period, don't they shout dad when they see us, if they haven't been missing for so long, do they dare to argue with us?"
The few old men sitting opposite each other got up and walked out, while the eldest and second of the Ji family, who were sitting in the middle, closed their eyes and did not speak.
Ji Qiuhai led Lin Jiu all the way and walked back to the east side of the Ji family's mansion, where there was a chic small courtyard.
"Here, this is the yard where I grew up, Senior Brother Lin, please. β
"Don't dare, it's okay today, I want to have a drink with Senior Brother Ji"
"That is the case, so the senior brother will accompany the senior brother to have a few drinks, and then go to my house. β
Ji Qiuhai pulled Lin Jiu to the east wing, and when he passed by the corridor, he met two maids.
"Young Master Hai is back"
"You guys?"
"Just now, the old man has asked the front yard to come over to inform the slave maid, and the slave maid has already cleaned Young Master Hai's room, and also cleaned a guest room for this Young Master Lin, which is next to Young Master Hai's room."
"I said, I've been away from home for decades, and Sister Hua and Xiaoyanagi who were at home must have been gone for a long time, and I wonder how you recognize me."
"The slave didn't dare. β
"Okay, you guys go down first, wait for my second uncle to come back, tell him that I am drinking in the room with my junior brother, I don't want to be disturbed, and I will go to the front hall early tomorrow morning."
"If you know, you must bring the words"
After Ji Qiuhai finished speaking, he pulled Lin Jiu into the east wing.
The house is simple, although the traces of the freshly cleaned are still there, but it can be seen that no one has taken care of it for many years.
Ji Qiuhai pulled Lin Jiu to sit down at the table in the room, reached out and took out two jars of wine from the storage bag, as well as a set of jade pots and jade cups for drinking.
"There is no appetizer here, but I am a little snub to my junior brother."
"Senior Brother Ji is polite again, isn't it, now we are all people from Bigu, if it weren't for the fact that sometimes in order to satisfy our appetites, who would still eat, but Senior Brother Ji rarely drinks alcohol, how can he carry wine with him?"
"Still not because of you"
"Me?"
"Since you left the master, Senior Brother Li has missed you for a long time, and he can't contradict the master, he is secretly distressed, and he drinks some wine when he misses you, he knows that you are seriously injured, and he is afraid that he will not live long, so he ......"
"Senior Brother Lao Li is worried, think about it, I deceived him that day, and I didn't go to apprentice to Baishan Sect."
"Yes, yes, he always talked about it, saying that if he had forcibly taken you to apprentice with him, there would have been no accident and you would have lost your innate spirit body. β
"What's this? a beautiful daughter-in-law is worth it."
"Do you really regret it?"
"I really don't regret it. Lin Jiu said with a slight smile.
"Come on, come on, drink, try the hundred-year-old mulberry fruit wine I bought in the Dingjia Bazaar, I bought it for Senior Brother Li, we drank it today, and I told him when I turned around that he wouldn't be angry."
"It's too late for him to be happy, he will be happy if you go back to the teacher one day and tell him that my injuries are all healed."
"I think you told him personally. β
"Okay, when I have the strength to return to the Baishan Sect, I'll tell him in person."
"Dry. β
Lin Jiu drank the mulberry fruit wine in the jade cup in one sip, he was also a lot of drinkers in the Baishan Sect before, although he had not drunk much spiritual wine, but there were many brothers who could make wine in the mountain gate, but there were also a lot of strong wines, and today to drink this hundred years of mulberry fruit wine, but it is different from the past, the entrance is sweet, there is no trace of wine, and the throat is also soft, but after the belly, it is like a pillar of fire rushing up in the abdomen, straight up to the throat, that warm strength, with the aura in the wine, instantly to the limbs and bones, very comfortable.
Lin Jiu let out a long breath and said, "It's really good wine. β
Moreover, Lin Jiu vaguely felt that his qi sea had a trace of spiritual power, Lin Jiu looked at Ji Qiuhai and asked, "This wine also has the effect of improving cultivation?"
Ji Qiuhai nodded and said, "The foundation building period is useless, but your qi cultivation period is a little bit useful, but this cultivation is improved by external forces, and it is still drinking wine, not eating pills, and it is not very much improved."
Lin Jiu nodded thoughtfully and said, "It's full." β
Ji Qiuhai poured wine for Lin Jiu and said, "Presumably, Senior Brother Lin also saw my situation in the Ji family today, and he is not afraid of your jokes, Senior Brother." β
Lin Jiu hurriedly said, "What did Senior Brother Ji say, don't treat me as an outsider, our senior brothers have been together for so many years, who has laughed at each other?"
Ji Qiuhai got up slowly, walked to the window and looked out of the window, without saying a word.
Lin Jiu knew that he had something to say, so he was not in a hurry and waited patiently.
"My grandfather has a total of eight children, seven boys and one girl, my aunt has been loved since she was a child, but my aunt was born to a servant girl next to my grandfather, and the people in the other rooms always bullied my aunt in private, when my aunt was still very young, I was bumped into by a few maids of the uncle's family in the back mountain, and a few maids saw that there was no one around, so they bullied my aunt, and were seen by the immortals of Baishan Sect who passed by, that is, our master, the master drove away those maids, and found that my aunt was a person with spiritual roots, and I was overjoyed, and found the master of the Ji family, that is, my grandfather, and told me to take my aunt back to Baishan Sect to apprenticeγ Ji Qiuhai drank the wine in his hand, turned around and sat down and poured another glass, paused and continued. Grandpa didn't want his aunt to go to the Baishan Sect to practice, after all, there was a person with spiritual roots in the family, and he wanted to stay in the family to practice, so that he could strengthen the family in the future, but the grandfather wanted to climb the big backer of the Baishan Sect, and after thinking about it, he still agreed to the master, since the aunt left, all the people in the aunt's courtyard were sent to the second uncle, and one of the aunt's personal maidservants was very good-looking, and the second uncle's housekeeper took a fancy to this maid, and forcibly took possession of her one day and night, and locked the maid in a firewood room where no one went, and took possession of it privatelyγ β
When Ji Qiuhai said this, he couldn't go on. Trembling all over.
"Senior Brother Ji, are you okay?" Lin Jiu got up and asked.
Ji Qiuhai waved his hand and said, It doesn't matter, later the maid gave birth to a baby girl, was found by the second uncle, the second uncle was angry for a while, the housekeeper lit the sky lantern, and the maid who gave birth to the baby girl because her body was too weak, and she didn't live for many days, so she let go, the baby girl grew up slowly in this courtyard, and the second uncle because there was only one man, no daughter, so he regarded this daughter as his own, just because the baby girl was born to a subordinate, so he was often bullied by others, in order to give herself courage, she played a young man dressed as a woman, and the unaware person will also be called the young master, and the one who knows is also told by the second uncle not to call the young lady, until she reached the boy, was told by the aunt who returned to the door to know about it, and was taken away from here, worship into the Hundred Mountains Sect. Ji Qiuhai finished speaking. The purple crown on his head was removed, and his long hair fell down.
Lin Jiu's mouth grew in surprise, and he didn't know that the jade cup in his hand had fallen.
"You........ You........ My God, this is so exciting, you are really a daughter, no wonder I say you are a sissy in Shimen on weekdays, you always have to be angry, no wonder you never soak in the spiritual spring with us, take a bath together, say that you have a habit of cleanliness and dislike our dirty, you can hide it. So why are you telling me this today?"
"Tomorrow my brother will be out of the customs, in private he has been calling me sister, if you know about it then, it is better to tell you in advance, on the way I know that he will suddenly retreat"
"It's not that you wait for me to slow down, this wine is too strong, am I drunk?"
"I don't care, anyway, you're not in the division now, you are not allowed to tell a few of them, otherwise I will never spare you"
"Senior sister, Senior Sister Ji, then when I called you Senior Sister, you still want to kill me with one palm?"
Ji Qiuhai put away his hair again, put on a purple crown, and said after finishing it, "Call Senior Brother." β
"Senior sister, you still dress up as a daughter, I think your long hair and shawl are still very good-looking"
"Say it again, I'll beat you. "Ji Qiuhai pretended to fight Lin Jiu.
"Oh, don't dare, you are all immortals in the foundation building period, if you slap me again, it won't be to die in your hands"
"Nonsense. Ji Qiuhai glared at Lin Jiu, picked up the jade cup and walked to the window.
"Senior sister, junior brother, I salute you, hahaha, I didn't expect that after so many years, I Lin Jiu will have another senior sister"
"What's so funny"
"Now that I think about it, one day, he suddenly saw the appearance of your women's clothes, and I thought about their expressions, and I thought it was funny. β
"Okay, I'm so angry that you're laughing at me again"
"Okay, okay, don't laugh, drink, drink"
After a while, the two of them drank the two jars of wine cleanly, Lin Jiu knew Ji Qiuhai's daughter's body, and he was happy in his heart, and he drank a few more glasses, but the momentum of the hundred-year-old mulberry fruit wine was great, and he was only in the late stage of Qi practice, and he was drunk on the table after drinking, Ji Qiuhai looked at Lin Jiu, who was asleep, and smiled slightly. After consuming the strength of the wine in his body, he got up and helped Lin Jiu to the side of the bed and put him on the bed.
As soon as Ji Qiuhai was about to get up, Lin Jiuyi, who was sleeping in a daze, hugged Ji Qiuhai.
"You ....." Ji Qiuhai was about to get angry, but found that Lin Jiu was not borrowing wine to despise himself.
That Lin Jiu half-asleep and half-awakened Ji Qiuhai in his arms as Mu Feifei, and stammered in his mouth, "Feifei, you are back, you said that you will come back in half a year, it has been more than a year before I came back, do you know that I miss you so much, you see that the injuries on my body are healed, completely healed, I use logistics and cultivation, I must be better than you, I protect you, I have been accompanying you, going to the markets around the world, to see the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers, Feifei, do you know, I have an extra senior sister, isn't it...... Not much...... Be..... Alas, anyway, I have a senior sister, she has a pitiful background, like me, she has not had the love of her father since she was a child, she is also bullied by others, I am different, I have grandpa to take care of, grandpa...... Woowoo....... Grandfather...... I miss him so much......"
Lin Jiu cried as he spoke, Ji Qiuhai was held by him like this, one shoulder was wet with Lin Jiu's tears, Ji Qiuhai didn't expect Lin Jiu's life experience to be so pitiful, he hadn't seen his father and mother since he was a child, and he was so fond of it, no matter what the female ghost was, but he could be missed by him all the time, and he was also very envious.
Thinking of Lin Jiu's gift to her of the best spirit stone, such a precious thing, not to mention the Ding family and the Nangong family, it is possible to attract the Baishan Sect and the Spirit Beast Mountain to fight, but he gave it to himself as if he were giving it to him, Ji Qiuhai thought about it, so he took out the best spirit stone from the storage bag, looked at the spirit stone with a smile, and then looked at Lin Jiu in his arms, slowly put him on the bed, got up and left.
Late at night, Ji Qiuhai sat alone in the small pavilion in the courtyard, at this moment she had changed into women's clothes, looking at the dark night sky, there was no moonlight.
Suddenly, from the darkness of the courtyard wall, several masked people dressed in black came out of thin air.
"Who are you?" Ji Qiuhai stood up as if he rubbed it, and put his hand on the storage bag on his waist.
The one standing in the middle of several black-clothed people didn't speak, but took out a yellow talisman in his right hand and threw it towards Ji Qiuhai, which turned into a fireball the size of a basin and hit Ji Qiuhai with a whoosh.
When Ji Qiuhai saw it, he hurriedly took out a small blue shield the size of a palm and sacrificed it on the top of his head, and the blue light emitted by the small shield formed a light shield, blocking the fireball, but the small blue shield also shook a little, and a crack appeared on the shield.
"Top-grade talismans, fireball arts. Ji Qiuhai took out a small blue sword and held it in his hand.
"Hmph, know the goods. Leave this to me, you guys go to that house" The man who played the fireball technique pointed to the room where Lin Jiu was.
As soon as Ji Qiuhai heard this, he arrived outside Lin Jiu's house in a flash, pushed the door and went inside, and at this time, another fireball hit behind him, and Ji Qiuhai didn't have time to turn around to resist, so he had to increase his speed and float forward. The fireball still hit the body protection shield, the small blue shield clicked, cracked, the light mask disappeared, and Ji Qiuhai was hit by the remaining strength of the fireball to the side of the bed, and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Ji Qiuhai picked up Lin Jiu and slapped him on the roof, his spiritual power made a big hole in the roof, and Ji Qiuhai flew up with Lin Jiu to the sky. It's just that as soon as he reached mid-air, there was an invisible pressure, and Ji Qiuhai, who was pressing, fell on the roof again, and he couldn't volley at all.
"Forbidden Sky Circle, you guys are so generous"
Several black men stood in the courtyard and watched the two of them, and did not come up, while the man who had played the fireball technique before dodged to the roof.
"Are you going to be caught, or are you going to let me give you two another fireball?"
"Ah..... It's so hot, Senior Sister Ji, why are we on the rooftop. Before Ji Qiuhai could speak, Lin Jiu woke up. The spiritual power of this mulberry fruit wine, if the average person in the late stage of qi cultivation did not have one night, it would not be easy to refine it, but Lin Jiu's meridians have been tempered for many years by the two auras of aura and yin qi, and they are much stronger than others, that is, they will be refined in the second half of the night.
"Hey, why did you change into women's clothes again?Why did you vomit blood? Are you okay?" Lin Jiu saw that the situation was not right, and the rest of the wine was almost sober, and he looked at the man in black opposite, who could beat Ji Qiuhai in the early stage of foundation building and vomit blood, he must be a stronger person than himself. I don't know what to do right now.
"Your Excellency, since there are so many high-grade talismans, let's consume another one. Ji Qiuhai said and pulled Lin Jiu behind him, and with a wave of his right hand, the blue long sword flew out, after all, Ji Qiuhai was also a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, and the man in black on the opposite side didn't dare to hold it up, so he immediately turned a black flute into a black light shield to block the attack of the long sword.
"Brutes dare. The black man let out a roar.
Xiao Bai flashed out of the darkness of the eaves, and grabbed behind the man in black, just now the spiritual sense of the man in black has found that here is not only Ji Qiuhai, a monk in the early stage of foundation building, but also Xiao Bai, a spirit beast who came in the chaos and a cat under the eaves, but although Xiao Bai is in the realm of the late stage of foundation building, but after all, it is only a spirit beast, and his combat ability is not as good as that of a human monk after all.
The man in black defended against Xiao Bai's sneak attack behind him, and Ji Qiuhai's spiritual sense also discovered Xiao Bai's arrival, so he fought hard.
The man in black sacrificed a black light mask and Ji Qiuhai's blue flying sword trembled, this side kept dodging Xiaobai's claws, and several black-clothed people in the courtyard also flew onto the roof, Lin Jiu had no defensive magic weapons and attack magic weapons, and several black-clothed people continued to harass Ji Qiuhai who was casting spells, Lin Jiu could only release his spiritual power to deal with the enemy, fortunately, the remaining few were only the cultivation in the middle of qi training, although they could not release spiritual power, but after all, they had rich combat experience, and although Lin Jiu's side was a cultivation in the late stage of qi training, spiritual power could come out of the body, and hit one was either dead or injured, but the combat experience was too little, and they were all dodged by those people in black with experience, but Lin Jiu was helpless, and the two sides were at a stalemate.
