Volume 2 The Wind Rises and the End of Qingping Chapter 142 Ning Xiang Zhizhong
It was late at night, the Xiaoxiang ferry was moving slowly in the clouds, and most of the guests were already resting.
In the guest room, Li Zijin sat opposite Hong Shao at the table, the wind gently patted the window, and the candles in the room were swaying.
There are two long swords on the table, one Cuiqu and one Cangjie. Plus a mediocre wine gourd.
The girl supported her chin with her hands, looked at the stunned young man sitting opposite, and finally couldn't help but speak, "Senior brother, you have been in a daze for a long time. β
Li Zijin came back to his senses, subconsciously reached out to take the wine gourd, opened it, and found that it was empty.
Just now he was thinking about the conversation that Liang Jing had with him before he left the Sleepless Mountain.
As early as when Ye Shixue left the pavilion of the waterfall in the sleepless mountain on that day, Li Zijin was very interested in the "magic cave" in Ye Shixue's mouth.
The reason why the boy left Wuding Mountain in the first place was that he planned to use the battle of life and death to sharpen his swordsmanship and break the bottleneck of the realm. Because he had been stuck in the Second Realm for too long at the beginning, Li Zijin wondered if he would not be able to enter the Soul Building Realm in this life, but fortunately, he was now a Soul Building Realm sword cultivator.
After the scholar Liang Jing made a special trip to Buye Mountain to see Li Zijin, the young man asked him for a lot of advice, including the "Demon Cave" that he heard from Ye Shixue a few days ago.
After all, during the Morning Snow Festival in the Sleepless Mountain, the three sects and the nine streams of fish and dragons were mixed, and almost everyone knew about the leakage of demonic qi on the side of the Peach Blossom Crossing Yasha Mountain.
Liang Jing told Li Zijin about the four victorious things, the four mausoleum guards, and the four worlds they guarded respectively.
Just last night, when the two were chatting in the Langyu Xiaozhu, Yuan Tiancheng, the deputy mountain master of the Buye Mountain, specially rushed to the Langyu Xiaozhu and informed Liang Jing that the Kunpeng ferry had picked up a group of Qi refiners from Canggeng Prefecture and the elite iron horsemen of the Daxuan Dynasty.
Yuan Tiancheng said that the thousands of people had rushed to the Demon Cave of Yaksha Mountain before sunset to join the reinforcements from the rest of the states, but the battle situation was still not optimistic, and after sending off the last group of guests from the Sleepless Mountain, it may be that even Yuan Tiancheng needed to enter the Demon Cave in person and jointly help the Kyushu Qi Refiners to quell the rebellion in the Demon Cave.
Scholar Liang Jing naturally understood what the deputy mountain lord Yuan meant, and immediately nodded and agreed to set off immediately, rushing to the Yaksha Mountain Demon Cave to help the Sleepless Mountain.
At that time, Li Zijin also proposed to go with Liang Jing, but he never thought that he was blocked by the latter and Yuan Tiancheng at the same time.
Both of them said that with the current state of the young man, entering the demon cave would not only not help, but might also affect the friendly army.
Although Yuan Tiancheng and Liang Jing's words were tactful enough, and Li Zijin laughed at them at the time, the young man still felt lost in his heart.
Just now, he was thinking about how to improve his realm.
Except for being diligent and diligent, there really isn't a way to quickly improve the cultivation of a Qi Refiner?
Li Zijin, who has always been close to utilitarianism in his cultivation, is a little anxious. This was the first time since he embarked on the path of cultivation that he felt so small that he couldn't even help with this little help.
When Liang Jing and Yuan Tiancheng left, the young man also saw dozens of sword cultivators of the same age as himself leaving with Liang Jing.
I learned from the mouth of the deputy mountain master of Sleepless Mountain that their name was called the Night Envoy. Although he is young, his realm is not low, all of them are above the realm of refining gods, and he is an extremely outstanding night envoy, and he is even a Jindan Earth Immortal.
In contrast, today's Li Zijin is only a soul building realm sword cultivator, which is too far behind.
If you cultivate too late, you will start many years slower than others, so you can only keep catching up and use the double efforts of others to gradually narrow the gap between yourself and others.
Li Zijin gently put the wine gourd back on the table, picked up the Cuiqu sword, and walked towards the outside of the house.
The girl Hongshao asked, "Senior brother, where are you going?"
He held Cuiqu in his hand and replied without looking back: "Go and practice the sword." β
On the top floor of the Xiaoxiang ferry, there is more than one teenager who does not sleep.
In addition to the girl in white who refused to stay alone in the house to sleep, there was another person on the top floor.
It was a woman with a guqin behind her, and a snow-white sword hung from the piano.
She stood at the railing of the ferry, facing the clouds, as if she had something on her mind.
After Li Zijin and Hong Shao came to the top floor, they deliberately bypassed the strange woman and chose a more remote place on the top floor of the ferry.
Holding the sword in her arms, Hong Shao sat on the ferry seat, yawning, and watched her senior brother practice the thirteen basic sword moves repeatedly.
The more the girl looked, the more sleepy she became, and then she directly fought with her eyelids, nodding her head violently for a while, and raising her head violently for a while, and her body was shaky.
In the distance, the strange woman who carried both the piano and the sword was lying on the railing of the ferry with great interest to watch the young man practice the sword.
She just propped her cheek with one hand, and turned to the side of the green-shirted young man who could only repeat the thirteen basic sword moves over and over again.
This kind of almost "boring" swordsmanship practice is either a newcomer to kendo who has just started, and he doesn't know any swordsmanship, and his swordsmanship is sparse, so he needs to practice the basics repeatedly.
Or, it's some old-timers, who have become superb, and suddenly have a whim and want to return to the basics like this.
But no matter how she thinks it, the young man in the green shirt doesn't look like the latter.
But to say that he is a newcomer who doesn't know any swordsmanship, she won't believe it.
After all, although the young man's sword moves are practiced, he already has sword bones when he comes out of the sword, and she is no stranger to sword bones.
It's just Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· The young man had distracting thoughts in his heart, the sword practice was not pure enough, and if he continued to practice like this, even if he swung the sword for another night, it would not have any effect.
Just watched the young man practice thirteen kinds of sword moves over and over again, and practiced for an hour, suddenly a ferry maid held a lantern, slowly climbed to the top of the ferry, and kindly reminded: "The wind is strong at night, and several guests are careful of catching a cold." β
The strange woman smiled and nodded, signaling that the ferry maid could go back.
After the latter gave her and Li Zijin a blessing each, they left.
Sweating and blowing the wind on the top floor of the ferry for a while, the young man finally calmed down and sighed: "If you really want to hurry, you can't reach it." β
Today's sword practice, the practice is irritating, and I always feel that something is missing, but I can't say it.
Li Zijin put his sword into the sheath, a little sullen.
Seeing that the little junior sister Hong Shao was already sleeping soundly, it was not good to wake her up immediately, but if the girl was allowed to continue to sleep like this, she was afraid that she would get a cold.
The woman in the distance, seeing the young man in green shirt hesitating, saw his embarrassing situation, got up and walked to the young man's side. She spread her hand slightly, and a robe appeared in her hand.
"Put it on her. The woman smiled.
"Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate. Li Zijin took the robe from her hand and draped it over the girl Hongshao.
He felt a little more at ease, so that he didn't have to rush to wake up the little junior sister.
In fact, Li Zijin and the woman were too worried, wearing two high-ranking immortal robes, one was a white gauze robe condensed from the essence of water transportation in the sleepless mountain, and the other was a glazed neon feather robe that could be continuously improved.
With the addition of these two immortal robes, the swords and guns are invulnerable, not to mention the cold protection effect that even ordinary fur clothes can do.
After putting on Hongshao's coat, Li Zijin helped the girl take off the Cangjie sword in her arms and put it lightly on the seat next to her, for fear that if she accidentally let Cangjie fall out of the scabbard and scratch the girl.
The strange woman said, consciously or unconsciously, "Sometimes you can go faster when you stop." β
Li Zijin understood what she meant, it meant that he was absent-minded in practicing swords today, and the young man smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect this to be seen by the girl." β
This woman looked much younger than Yun Meng and Tang Yin, but she was older than Ming Ye and Hong Shao, so it was not appropriate to call her senior, so Li Zijin had to call her a girl.
She smiled, drew her sword out of its sheath, wiped it with her fingertips, and said slowly: "People can deceive people, but the sword can't." What kind of mood a swordsman has when he shoots his sword, what kind of posture will his sword moves will be. β
Li Zijin was stunned, the words of the woman in front of her were similar to the empathy sword she had learned, if she wasn't really a woman, I'm afraid Li Zijin would have mistaken her for her mentor Xie Yufeng.
He said, "Taught." β
The woman shook her head and said noncommittally: "Judging from your sword moves just now, your current mood is not very good." β
Li Zijin nodded and said slowly: "I want to do something, but I don't have enough ability to do it." β
In fact, he said this, not only to say that he could not follow Liang Jing and the group of night envoys of the Nightless Mountain to go to the Peach Blossom Crossing Yasha Mountain Demon Cave, but also that he was not able to compete with Kunlun Mountain and the Daxuan Dynasty at present, let alone ask for justice for Taiping County, for the county guard, and for the old lady from their hands.
She asked, "Tried it?"
The boy shook his head: "No need to try, it's far away." β
The woman nodded: "So the sword move you made just now is like someone behind you holding a knife on your neck, desperately rushing forward, often before the last move is completely accepted, you can't wait to hand over the next sword, this is not good." β
Li Zijin nodded and admitted: "It's a little rushed." β
She smiled and said, "Daoyou has never boarded the boat at the mountain ferry, have you participated in the Chaoxue Festival?"
The boy snorted.
"I heard that the sword line of this Chaoxue Festival is quite exciting, there is the young sect master of Yanyu Building, there is Ding Yu of the Cangyun Sword Sect, and even a peasant disciple seems to be surprisingly good at swordsmanship. By the way, I heard that the leader of the sword shop who asked him in the end turned out to be a little-known sword cultivator, and even the young sect master of Yanyu Building lost in his hands. She glanced at Li Zijin with a smirk.
He was silent on the surface, but he had actually begun to guess the identity of the woman in front of him, and guessed whether she would be sent by the Daxuan Dynasty.
The young man pressed his thumb against the hilt of the Cuiqu sword, and wrote lightly in a flat tone as much as possible: "That's it." β
"Oh, listen to the meaning of Daoyou, is it disdainful of the swordsmanship of the sword leader?" she suddenly seemed to be a different person.
Li Zijin rolled his eyes, as if he was slandering himself whether he answered yes or no.
"Don't tease me, girl. β
Although he didn't know how the other party recognized him, Li Zijin felt that he couldn't hide the identity of the leader of the sword line, so he no longer played any dumb riddles with the other party.
The woman who carried both the piano and the sword smiled and said: "I heard that the head of the sword shop is a young man in green shirts, carrying a turquoise long sword, with a little girl in white by his side, and the entire Xiaoxiang ferry, it seems that you are the only one who meets this description." I wasn't sure just now, but now I'm sure. β
The reason why she was interested in watching the young man practice swords was because she recognized this person as the leader of this year's Chaoxue Festival.
Otherwise, if it was an ordinary sword cultivator practicing swords on the top floor of this ferry, she might not even have the interest to take a look.
Fortunately, the young man's sword did not disappoint her, it doesn't matter if she is absent-minded or not, just the fact that the sword has begun to take shape has already thrown off the sword cultivation of ninety percent of the world.
This woman, named Cai Zhi, known as the piano and sword, is a famous mountain fairy in Pujia Prefecture, who likes to travel mountains and rivers, and likes to travel alone in mountains and rivers.
It is rumored that Cai Zhi was able to listen to the sound of the piano when she was young, and she could judge which string was broken according to the timbre of the broken string.
It was also from then on that the piano and sword shuangjue began to embark on the road of practice. As for sword practice, for her, it was actually a long time after practicing the piano.
At first, it was out of the boredom of practicing the piano, Cai Zhi wanted to "change her taste", but she didn't expect that after starting to practice swords, she found that she was extremely talented in swordsmanship.
Therefore, there is the title of double absolute sword.
Cai Zhi has many admirers, and often blocks at the foot of her sect, just to see the fairy beauty.
Some people say that it is precisely because there are too many such admirers that this qin and sword double absolute can only travel around, and dare not return to the sect easily, otherwise he will be annoyed to death.
Li Zijin suddenly realized that this woman was actually cheating him.
The young man shook his head and sighed with emotion, it is really the world that is getting worse and the people's hearts are not ancient, it seems that in the future, when walking the rivers and lakes, you need to pay more attention, but you can't cheat people so easily.
"I heard your name is Li Zijin, which is a good name. She said.
"What advice does the girl have?" asked Li Zijin.
Cai Zhi shook her head, looked relaxed, and said with a smile: "Don't be so nervous, just talk casually." If you think I'm offending you in any way, I'm okay to leave. β
The young man in green shirt waved his hand: "This Xiaoxiang ferry is not my family, I can sit here, and the girl will naturally sit too." β
"It's getting more and more pleasing to the eye. The woman said this coldly.
Li Zijin glanced at her, Cai Zhi smiled dumbly, and explained, "I mean this scenery. β
The boy was on pins and needles, and he really didn't know how to get along with this girl who spoke strangely and acted strangely, and was ready to slap his ass and leave.
As soon as he stood up, Cai Zhi kindly reminded: "Li Zijin, the origin of this girl next to you is not simple, don't you still know it? With such a Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· The girl wandered outside as if she were holding a mountain of gold. The tree is big and easy to attract the wind, as for what kind of wind it is attracted, it is possible to have a yin wind, an evil wind, and a demon wind. β
Although he didn't understand the meaning of this woman's words, Li Zijin still responded with a smile: "Don't bother the girl, Hong Shao, let's go." β
He whispered to wake up the little sister who was sleeping soundly.
The girl yawned, looked sleepy-eyed, and asked curiously, "Hey, senior brother?"
She looked at the robe draped over her, her eyes full of confusion.
Li Zijin glanced at Cai Zhi, who was both at the piano and sword, and said casually: "It's this girl's clothes, get up and return the clothes to others." β
"Oh. Hong Shao slowly got up and returned the robe to Cai Zhi, this time she didn't need to be reminded by her senior brother, she already knew that she should thank others.
"Thank you, sister. The girl had an innocent smile on her face, and she was slightly stunned when she saw that Qin Jian Shuangjue.
At first glance, Cai Zhi thought that this girl named Hongshao was a girl, and she had a girl's heart.
After taking a closer look, Cai Zhi showed her clues.
Previously, I only saw that she was born from a charm, and the original god was a koi, just like the hosta on her head, red and white, and brightly colored.
At this time, he used his spiritual power to carefully examine the koi girl, only to find that she was not only born as the times requires, but also had the nine-trick exquisite heart that the monsters and spirits in the world dreamed of.
The essence of the world, if you eat this nine exquisite hearts, no matter how many realms you are in, you can mention another realm.
For the higher the realm of the monster spirit, the more precious the girl's nine-trick exquisite heart is.
Imagine, after eating that Nine Realms Exquisite Heart, would a Ten Realm Essence have a chance to enter the Eleventh Realm and wrestle with the Three Sect Saints?
Even if it is a human race qi refiner, if he eats the Nine Aperture Exquisite Heart, he can increase his cultivation by fifty to one hundred years.
This woman, who is both at the mercy of the piano and sword, looked at the young man who was gradually walking away, and said to the young man in her heart: "Li Zijin, I was wrong just now. You're not dangling around with a mountain of gold, you're holding something that can make all the monsters and spirits in the world dream of, and you can snatch it by any means and at any cost. They do everything for this thing. It's not even just youkai spirits, even people Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
The boy didn't even look back.
Cai Zhi watched the boy and girl leave, and said again: "You will die." β
Li Zijin was indifferent, just gently slapped Hong Shao's head.
After the two returned to the room, Xu is sleepiness had not yet faded, Hong Shao almost fell on the bed, and fell asleep again in a blink of an eye.
Li Zijin just sat at the table, holding the hosta she had just taken off, and looked at it repeatedly.
The hosta is inseparable from Hong Shao, except when she sleeps, she almost never leaves her body.
Red and white, koi style.
He looked up suddenly, his eyes full of consternation.
I see.
ββββ
After the Xiaoxiang ferry set sail, the first Xianjia ferry port docked, Yuansheng Ferry.
Li Zijin and Hong Shao left the ferry here.
The boy's original plan was to take the Xiaoxiang ferry to the end of that voyage and help the northernmost part of the world.
However, on the ferry, the woman who carried both the piano and the sword said something strange, and Li Zijin felt that it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time, so at the first Xianjia ferry port where the Xiaoxiang ferry docked, he left with his little sister Hongshao.
This is Honghu Prefecture, located in the center of a world that is shaking, and in Honghu Prefecture, the status of the Immortal Sect on the mountain far exceeds that of the secular dynasty.
Mo said that it has reached the point where the mountains and mountains coexist in Canggeng Prefecture, and even the level of respect for the immortal sect on the mountain and the inferiority of the secular dynasty in Taoyao Prefecture is more than that.
In the secular dynasty of Honghu Prefecture, in the face of the mountain immortal sect, there is almost no right to speak. Except for a few secular dynasties that have lasted for hundreds of thousands of years and have relatively prosperous national fortunes, which can rely on the gods of the mountains and rivers to add a guarantee that is enough to resist the immortals and demons on the mountain, most small countries can only be allowed to eat by people.
Don't say that it is a god of mountains and rivers, even the qi refiners above the earth immortals are worshipped, they can't afford to invite them, they can only invite some low-level qi refiners who are not in the stream to serve as offerings, but the results are very small, if they really encounter the violation of demons, those qi refiners will not care about the life or death of a small country.
At the beginning, in the Pinjin Cave on the border of Yan Kingdom, the woman in Tsing Yi who pretended to be Su Hu showed Li Zijin a picture scroll of Kyushu that shook the world.
Li Zijin's impression of Honghu Prefecture is a comment on Honghu Prefecture on the picture scroll of Kyushu that shakes the world.
"The color is white, different from the pale yellow of the yellow bird. β
In fact, before the word white, there are two words that have been erased.
Li Zijin has always been curious about what the first two words are.
On the picture scroll of Kyushu in the world, looking at the territory of Honghu Prefecture, the shape is like a bird, but it lacks a wing, and it looks strange.
A voice came from behind him, disrupting the boy's thoughts.
"Senior brother, I'm hungry. Hong Shao looked around, obviously smelling something.
Li Zijin looked around, there were many small stalls and vendors in this Xianjia Ferry, roasted cakes, meat wrapped in sugar, and all kinds of snacks, but I didn't see a decent restaurant.
He asked, "If you want to eat, Senior Brother will buy it for you." β
The girl Hongshao pointed to the baked cake stall and said, "I want to try that." β
Li Zijin originally thought that this kind of food was not very popular with women, but he didn't expect his little sister to fall in love with this at a glance.
In the sleepless mountain, the wine and food provided by the sleepless city are all some delicacies from the mountains and seas, except for the stir-fried meat with bamboo shoots that Li Zijin can't shake, Hong Shao has eaten almost all the dishes in the restaurant that sells Jiannan roasted spring.
Maybe after eating too much delicacies from the mountains and seas, you also want to try coarse tea and light rice.
"How many?" he asked with a smile.
Hong Shao thought about it for a while, and remembered that his senior brother had taught him that it cost money to eat and drink outside of the Sleepless Mountain.
The girl didn't have any concept of silver, and she didn't know the difference between the price of the baked cakes and the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the restaurant in the city that never sleeped, but she felt that she couldn't make money now, so she couldn't embarrass her senior brother.
Therefore, he stretched out three fingers, hesitated, and retracted one, and then felt that two baked cakes might still be more expensive, so he retracted one finger. At the end of the day, only one index finger is up.
How could Li Zijin not know the thoughts of the little junior sister?
He gently broke the girl's middle finger and ring finger, then nodded and smiled with satisfaction, "I see." β
The man in the green shirt turned around and shouted to the baked cake stall vendor, "Man, here are three baked cakes." β
The peddler replied with a happy face, "Okay!"
And the girl in white, who had a little more embellishment on her gauze dress, was stunned in place.
In the world, how can there be such a good elder brother.
Just when she was stunned for a while, and when she came back to her senses, the best senior brother in the world had already walked towards her with three steaming pancakes.
"WhewΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· It's so hot, Hongshao, eat slowly. Li Zijin handed the baked cake to the little sister and reminded her not to eat too quickly.
The girl took the biscuit, turned around instantly, and took a small bite of the biscuit, her eyes slightly red.
Walking out of the alley full of small merchants and hawkers at Xianjia Ferry, the two brothers and sisters stepped on a post road.
Stay at the inn at night and rush during the day.
For the sake of safety, Li Zijin only needs one room at a time.
The girl sleeps in the bed, and he sleeps on the floor. Or sometimes, it is just sitting on the edge of the bed overnight, silently running the spiritual power in the sea of consciousness to run Xiao Zhoutian in the body.
Li Zijin used almost all the time he could use.
Practice swords during the day and practice at night.
However, after waking up the strange woman who carried both the piano and the sword on the Xiaoxiang ferry, Li Zijin is not so eager for quick success now.
Diligent cultivation is one thing, but the mentality can be correct, instead of blindly pursuing quick success.
The effect of cultivation is significant, and it is really in response to the old saying, but work hard, don't ask about the harvest.
When it's time to harvest, everything will fall into place.
Senior brother, little junior sister, just walked hundreds of miles from Yuanshengdu to Honghu Prefecture, and the inns lived in twenty or thirty rooms, and the two came to the door of a mountain village.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the little junior sister Hong Shao couldn't ride a horse, and Li Zijin had to worry about whether a man or a woman would be intimate or not, he could buy one or two horses in many inns earlier, so that the journey would be much faster than on foot.
And Li Zijin rushed by himself and with his little sister Hongshao, which were two speeds again.
You need to take into account the girl's physical strength at all times, he has a soul building realm sword cultivator, plus a martial artist in the Ming Realm, but he will not have sore legs no matter how he goes, but Hong Shao has not even opened up the sea of knowledge now.
In the matter of practicing swords, the young man, as a senior brother, did not urge the little sister to practice swords diligently, all to see when she had a whim and practiced swords when she wanted to practice swords.
Therefore, whether it is swordsmanship or cultivation, Hong Shao is still not a beginner.
It's also thanks to that female sword fairy Yunmeng, who is willing to accompany the girl to practice swords every day under such circumstances.
Li Zijin felt that even if the Hongshao realm had been so low, it didn't matter, he was there in everything.
Hong Shao also had this idea, so he had already forgotten his original intention of wanting to learn sword from Li Zijin in the first place.
Follow him, learn the sword.
In the end, the temptation of the former is greater, and the former is more important.
Adhering to such a passable mentality, the girl wore the sword Cangjie, but it was really a bit of a mistake.
Isn't it that female sword immortal Yunmeng, who has already discovered the mystery of this? Knowing that the girl Hongshao is born with no love for sword practice, so she will not send a martial sword to a literary sword?
Li Zijin looked up.
It's getting dark, and it's not easy to find the inn tonight.
The young man turned his head to look at the girl in white again, and he was a little undecided.
After thinking about it repeatedly, he still felt that it was better to live in this small mountain village tonight than to take his little junior sister to eat and drink dew, right?
Even if you pay someone more money, I believe that the people in this village should not refuse this kind of good deed.
Li Zijin flipped through the bag full of fairy money, fiddled with it at random, and found that there was really a lot of fairy money in the burden now, except for Su Hu's fairy money that was enough to buy a city, his own belongings were not a small amount, a full thirty frost money, placed on the right side of the package. On the contrary, the gold, silver, gold and jade leaves in secular circulation are somewhat insufficient, and there are very few now.
It was really too expensive to spend too much at the beginning on the way to escape, in order to hide people's eyes, he and Su Hu kept changing their appearances all the way, and almost every time they passed through a town, they immediately had to change into a new outfit.
The inn also changed its tricks, but in order to avoid those "three religions and nine streams", and even more to prevent the pursuit and investigation of the Daxuan Dynasty, he and Su Hu basically lived in the Tianzi room, and it was clear what kind of characters lived next door.
Later, he was directly in the golden cave where there was no fixed customs and sales, and he lay down for a whole month.
At that time, the supreme sword qi in the center of the eyebrows had not yet been used, and she was forced back by the woman in Tsing Yi who pretended to be Su Hu, although she didn't understand what the other party's purpose was, but one thing was certain, she was not an enemy.
At least not at the time.
Otherwise, with that person's realm, it would be easy to kill himself, and it would never be as simple as letting himself lie in bed for a month.
Earlier, when he was still living in the bamboo courtyard on Wuding Mountain, there was not much gold, silver, gold and jade leaves left in the young man's baggage, and later after passing through Yong'an City and Yong'an Ferry in Yan Kingdom, and even boarding the Kunpeng ferry, he never counted the worldly money in the baggage.
Buyeshan took care of all the expenses, and even the fairy money didn't need to be paid.
Li Zijin has lived in the Sleepless Mountain for too long, except for the seven frost coins that he received from the small cave of the picture scroll last time, he really hasn't turned over his own baggage full of belongings.
He finally took out a silver ingot, which weighed three or four taels, which was already the most "worthless" currency in the baggage.
If you take out the gold leaf, I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary trouble.
Teenagers are not afraid of trouble.
It's just Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· I don't want to kill anyone.
"Hongshao, let's stay here tonight. Li Zijin pointed to the small village not far ahead.
And the girl in white with a hosta on her head stood on tiptoe and glanced at it, and then nodded, "Okay." β
On the way to the village, the two passed a mountain temple, at the door of which several villagers were kneeling to worship the mountain god, and there were some hoes and harpoons on the ground.
The golden body of the mountain god was really built with real gold, not just a thin layer of gold around the periphery, just for show.
Li Zijin's eyesight is excellent, after becoming a Qi Refiner, along with the improvement of the realm, he looks at everything in the world, and each realm will have different feelings.
Just like when I was a baby, when I first saw the world, I felt that everything was terrible, so I cried non-stop.
When I was a child, I thought everything was very interesting, so I ran all over the mountains, and I couldn't help but pull it off when I saw any flowers and plants, and when I saw other people's chickens, ducks and geese, and the big yellow dogs raised by others, I couldn't help but go up and tease it. When I saw a little girl from another family, it was naturally indispensable to secretly pull other people's pigtails from behind, and then run away.
When I was older, when I was a teenager, I was rebellious and refused to admit defeat. I always feel that what those elders say is unreasonable, or even if it is reasonable, it is not all right. So I like to do the opposite, as a way to show my personality.
Then it's a board, a beating.
The more you beat, the braver, the more painful.
Nowadays, the teenagers who have grown up are more introverted.
If you look at everything in the world, you can only get four words.
All beings are suffering.
I won't go all over the mountains to pick those flowers and plants, let alone pull the girl's ponytail, no matter what the elders say is reasonable, we have to respect the elders.
The older you get, the more you know that life is difficult.
In fact, it is not easy to give birth to a dog.
When I meet a big yellow dog raised by someone else, I no longer throw it with a stone, but feed it a piece of meat.
Outside the mountain temple, on the left and right sides of the columns, there are respectively written "Misfortune and fortune have no way, but people call themselves" and "The retribution of good and evil follows like a shadow", and the horizontal criticism "It is useless to worship me"
In the mountain temple, there is a wooden plaque, which is engraved with the word "Song Zhen".
Behind that wooden plaque is the golden body of the shining mountain god.
Li Zijin could see that the golden body was made at a great price, and when the villagers found that Li Zijin and Hong Shao appeared outside the mountain temple, they immediately got up, grabbed the hoe and harpoon on the ground casually, and looked at the young girl quite vigilantly.
One of the leaders stared at Li Zijin, who was carrying a sword behind him, and pointed his harpoon at the young man: "Get out! Don't use your brains again, otherwise Lao Tzu won't be able to spare you!"
The girl tugged at the corner of her brother's clothes.
Li Zijin turned his head to look, it was indeed only him and Hong Shao, and he didn't understand why these villagers wanted to speak ill of him, what was called not to come "again".
He clasped his fists at those people and said, "The junior and his junior sister passed by the treasure land of your village and wanted to spend the night, I wonder if you can make it convenient?"
Afraid that those people would not believe it, Li Zijin said again: "We can pay you silver!"
Someone took a step forward, spat on the ground, and snorted: "Don't pretend, you must be in the same group as those bandits, and the front foot has just been blown away by us, and the back foot will come to act again? Do you want to secretly live in our village to find out information, and while everyone is asleep, come and steal the golden body of the mountain god? Spend a few taels of silver and earn a lot of gold, which is a good deal! I advise you to do less immoral things, and be careful of the thunder and thunder in the sky!"
Without waiting for Li Zijin to explain anything, the villager who was the leader turned sideways again, pointed at the couplet outside the mountain temple with a harpoon, and said sharply: "Look, look, see what is written on it?" The retribution of good and evil is like a shadow, you will be punished sooner or later for doing such a lack of morality! It's not that you don't report it, it's time to get out of here!"
After the man finished speaking, the rest of the villagers also picked up the "weapons" on the ground and drove Li Zijin and the girl Hong Shao out, and the two were driven to the previous position where they were watching the village from afar.
No matter how Li Zijin explained it halfway, they just didn't believe it.
The young man couldn't really draw his sword against a few rural villagers, so he could only protect the little junior sister while retreating one after another, and finally retreated far away, and the villagers scolded and went back.
Hong Shao asked, "Senior brother, why are they so fierce to us?"
Li Zijin thought for a while and said, "Probably, they are too scared." That's why they have to pretend to be fierce, so that others don't see the fear in their hearts. They wanted to protect the golden body of the mountain god, so they had to be fierce. β
From the words of those villagers, it was not difficult for the young man to draw a conclusion.
A few key messages.
The bandit, "come again", steals the golden body of the mountain god.
Judging from the posture of everyone holding "weapons" in their hands, maybe the bandits in the mouths of the villagers before have tried to rob them, but they didn't succeed.
This kind of thing can be managed, but it can be ignored.
But since the two of them want to live in someone else's village, they naturally have to take care of it.
Li Zijin showed a meaningful smile and asked, "Little junior sister, you haven't practiced with bad guys, have you?"
Hong Shao kept shaking her head, learning from her senior brother's self-humility, and said, "No, no, no, my swordsmanship is sparse." β
The young man in the green shirt patted the girl on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's okay, their swordsmanship is worse." β
That night, Li Zijin took his little junior sister Hong Shao, went around in a big circle, avoided the sight of the villagers who had been sticking to the door of the mountain temple, sneaked to the back of the mountain temple, and then raised a breath of martial arts true qi, took the hand of the little junior sister, stepped on the wall twice, and directly "entered the hall" into the mountain temple.
Dressed in a green shirt and a white coat, he crept behind the mountain god Jin, just in case, Li Zijin also took out two invisibility talismans, one for the little junior sister, and kept one for himself.
"Hong Shao, the bandits will definitely come tonight, let's take a look here, if the bandits come, you will be responsible for repelling them with your sword, and when the villagers are happy, they will let us stay overnight." Li Zijin put it to her ear and whispered, for fear of waking up the villagers who were napping at the door.
The girl was a little nervous, I don't know if it was because of such close contact with her senior brother, or because she was about to take out her sword to fight the thieves in a while, "But Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Li Zijin slapped her little head, "Don't worry, with senior brother here, they will never let them hurt you a single hair." β
Although the little junior sister has not really become a qi refiner, but she has the Wen Sword Cangjie in her hand, and there are two immortal robes with extremely high rank, not to mention a few bandits who are not in the stream, even if the great cultivator of the Distraction Realm makes a move, can she be hurt or not.
What's more, Li Zijin has already taken down the Cuiqu Sword, and he is ready to make a move at any time, and he will never make a half-point difference.
After listening to the young man's words, she felt less nervous, and even a little eager to try, the girl looked down at the Cangjie sword in her hand, and kept practicing the sword moves she had practiced in her mind, thinking about how to show her skills later, so that the senior brother was impressed by herself!
The girl suddenly wanted to speak, and asked Li Zijin if she needed to shout a slogan or two when she would go out to fight the bad guys by herself, for example, she had nothing to do a few days ago, and borrowed a few books from Yuan Shanzhu, in which the protagonist every time before punishing the evil and eliminating the evil, he would first list a lot of evil things done by the wicked, and finally come to the sentence "I will do the right thing for heaven today" and the like.
Li Zijin instantly covered the girl's red lips and reminded softly: "Shh, they're here." β
