Volume 2 The Wind Rises and the End of Qingping Chapter 98 The Shadow Becomes Three
"No merit is not punished, what does Lord Yuan mean by this. Li Zijin just wanted to take down this nightless jade medal and return it to Yuan Tiancheng.
Who would have expected that this deputy mountain master of the Sleepless Mountain seemed to have known that the young man would say this, and he prepared his words early, blocking Li Zijin's action of taking the Sleepless Jade Medal, and said with a smile: "Eh, where can I talk about the road that is not on the road, it is a jade medal that thousands of disciples up and down the Sleepless Mountain have on their bodies, Nuo, don't believe you?"
As he spoke, Yuan Tiancheng pointed to a disciple who happened to be "passing by" nearby, holding a broom in his hand, sweeping the fallen leaves in the square, looking like a low-status outer disciple, and maybe even just a handyman.
Otherwise, this kind of dirty work of cleaning the square will not be done.
Yuan Tiancheng beckoned to the "handyman" who was sweeping the floor, "Who's that, come here." β
The corners of Li Zijin's mouth twitched, he didn't expect that Lord Yuan couldn't even shout people's names?
After the disciple of the Sleepless Mountain approached, he bowed respectfully to Yuan Tiancheng and said, "The disciple of the outer gate of the Sleepless Mountain, Zhao Thirteen, has seen the Lord of the Yuan Mountain!
Yuan Tiancheng coughed and said, "What's that, take out the tattered jade plate of the sect and show it to this son." β
The Sleepless Mountain disciple nodded and said, "Obey the mountain master's instructions!"
He groped and searched for it from his arms, and really turned out a jade plate that looked dusty, held it in his hand, raised his hand and let Li Zijin take a look, it was really exactly the same as Yuan Tiancheng gave Li Zijin, the front seal was engraved with "Heart Lamp Never Night", and the reverse seal was engraved with "Dao Tree Changchun", and it looked Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· It doesn't really look like it's worth much.
Yuan Tiancheng felt that this disciple's acting skills were good, and nodded with satisfaction: "Go, go, go and get busy with you." β
The man nodded, and said respectfully, "Yes, Mountain Lord." Then he turned around and continued to clean the Buyeshan Square.
Yuan Tiancheng looked at Li Zijin at this time, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, even a small outer disciple in My Night Mountain has it, it is indeed not a valuable thing, the only function is to cool and repel mosquitoes, and there is no other effect." Xiaoyou, let's take it with peace of mind. β
Yuan Tiancheng said this part, if he refuses again, it will be too pretentious.
Since it's not a valuable item, I'll take it, Li Zijin thought.
Li Zijin clasped his fist at the old man and said: "In this way, I will thank Lord Yuan for the gift, and the younger generation will definitely take good care of this jade plate." β
The deputy mountain lord of the Nightless Mountain smiled and nodded, "It's easy to say." Dare to ask Xiaoyou, do you have a teacher?"
Li Zijin was stunned for a moment, not wanting to deceive Yuan Tiancheng, he pondered for a moment, and said: "I can't hide it, I already have a teacher in the next generation, but the younger generation promised the master, and his name cannot be revealed at will, so Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Forgive the younger generation for not being able to tell the truth. β
A trace of regret flashed in Yuan Tiancheng's eyes, and he said regretfully: "That's right, Xiaoyou is young, but his kendo attainments are beyond the reach of many 'old men'. β
The old man's words had just come out, and he seemed to feel that what he said was wrong, or rather, not right enough. He immediately added with a smile: "It should be said that it is a hero who is a teenager." β
Master and apprentice, both boast, neither of them can be offended.
It's really an old fox.
Li Zijin smiled: "The seniors are too exalted to me. β
Suddenly remembering that he still had something to do, Li Zijin immediately said: "The junior has a reluctant request, I wonder if the senior can solve the confusion for the junior?"
Yuan Tiancheng just thought that he couldn't accept Li Zijin as an apprentice on behalf of the mountain master, and he felt a little regretful, thinking about how to get into a relationship with this young man who seemed to be unable to enter the oil and salt, and make the next incense relationship with the Sleepless Mountain for him, he was worried and didn't know how to speak, and he never thought that the young man in front of him would ask for him, so naturally he couldn't ask for it.
Yuan Tiancheng said: "Oh, you might as well come and listen, maybe the old man, can help." β
Li Zijin told the deputy mountain master of the Sleepless Mountain about the first time he saw Jiang Xiang in the jade building, to the final battle with Jiang Xiang on the sword platform, and the discovery that Jiang Xiang said goodbye without saying goodbye.
The old man just listened quietly, nodded from time to time, signaled with his eyes, and let the young man continue, very polite, and never relied on the old to sell the old because of the difference between the two of them.
Finally, after listening to Li Zijin's description, Yuan Tiancheng thought about it for a while and said: " This is not a coincidence, Jiang Xiang, who claims to be a disciple of the farmer's outer sect, because he is a blockbuster on the sword platform, does not look like a farmer's child at all, so I sent someone to check it overnight yesterday, and the farmer does not have such a number one person at all, and the old man also sent someone to look through the roster of dozens of immortal ferries to and from Buye Mountain, but he did not find Jiang Xiang's name, indicating that he did not come by Xianjia ferry, so even Buye Mountain did not know anything about this person. β
Li Zijin nodded slowly, and said with some regret: "Jiang Xiang is acting strangely, I don't know what the purpose is. β
Yuan Tiancheng said with relief: "Xiaoyou don't need to worry too much, I don't dare to say it in other places, as long as it is in the territory of I don't sleep in the mountain, it must be the safest place in the world, there is no fork in the slightest, although I relax, I should eat and drink, although the young man's swordsmanship is high, he can't be presumptuous in the night mountain." β
Li Zijin shook his head and said: "The junior is not worried about this, but he is just curious why he took the trouble to play the role of a helpless farmer disciple, and what is the intention of coming to the Sleepless MountainΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
This time, the old man did not immediately interrupt the young man's train of thought, but just waved his sleeves, isolated a small world, and said in a deep voice: "Xiaoyou is from Canggeng Prefecture?"
Li Zijin's heart shook suddenly, and he couldn't help but take a step back. Yuan Tiancheng waved his hand, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, old man, and Buye Mountain, for Xiaoyou, they are friends but not enemies." β
The young man in the green shirt was in a hurry, and almost immediately understood one thing, and then savored what Yuan Tiancheng said just now.
It is not difficult for him to draw a conclusion.
That is, after asking the sword yesterday, Buyeshan not only sent someone to check Jiang Xiang's details, but also must be checking his own origin at the same time, maybe the old man in front of him at this moment has already memorized his past.
He must have known that a Great Xuan Dynasty was chasing and killing him, but judging from Yuan Tiancheng's various actions, Buye Mountain really had no hostility towards him.
Li Zijin smiled bitterly: "Let Lord Yuan Shan laugh." β
Yuan Tiancheng was noncommittal, and said: "Where is it ridiculous to let a secular dynasty spend countless manpower and financial resources to hunt down and kill? There is a place where the old man is needed, and the help of the sleepless mountain, even if he opens his mouth, the sleepless mountain will definitely respond to his needs. β
After saying all this, the old man casually lifted this small world of Taoism, and said with a smile: "Xiaoyou is going to the city that never sleeps, it is too time-consuming to walk the cliff plank road, and the old man will give you a ride." β
With a wave of the wide-sleeved man's sleeves, Li Zijin's figure disappeared from the Buyeshan Square.
After he was sent away by Yuan Tiancheng, the old man's figure flashed at the same time, and instantly appeared next to the "handyman" who pretended to sweep the floor with a broom.
Yuan Tiancheng coughed, and the disciple of the outer sect of the Sleepless Mountain immediately returned the incomparably precious Sleepless Jade Plate from his arms to the deputy mountain master of the Sleepless Mountain.
The old man flicked his fingers, and with a stroke of Taoism, he cleaned up the dust on the nightless jade plaque, which turned out to be just a trick to make the young man in the green shirt mistakenly think that this jade plaque was nothing remarkable.
In order to make it easier for him to accept this "thin gift".
Yuan Tiancheng can be said to have taken great pains, and he also specially found a disciple to cooperate with him to act in a play.
He said with a smile: "The acting skills are good, go to the first floor of the library building, choose any object, I have already said hello to the elder pavilion." β
You must know that there is a library building in the Sleepless Mountain, which not only stores countless exercise cheats, but also many immortal magic weapons, and those treasures are stored on different floors.
The things on the first floor are better than the first floor, the higher the floor, the more precious the exercises and magic weapons inside, I heard that on the top floor of the library building, there are even three fairy sword imitation swords, although the rank is not as good as those fairy sword deities, but it is also a real half-immortal soldier.
One step away from the legendary immortal soldiers.
It's just that he helped Yuan Tiancheng act in a play, and it took almost no effort to enter the first floor of the library building and choose any thing, this disciple of the Sleepless Mountain was naturally overjoyed.
As soon as the deputy mountain lord said this, the disciple of the outer gate of the Sleepless Mountain suddenly knelt down and said gratefully: "Thank you Mountain Lord, the disciple will definitely go to the soup for the Sleepless Mountain, and he will not give up!"
Yuan Tiancheng laughed, brushed his sleeves away, and his figure disappeared in a flash.
ββββ
Li Zijin came to the city that never sleeps, the tavern with Jiannan Burning Spring.
The young man asked the shopkeeper for a jar of Jiannan Roasted Spring, a plate of fried meat with bamboo shoots, and drank it by himself over there.
A cup of Jiannan roasted spring into the throat, mellow and thick, happy.
Li Zijin drank himself, looked at the vacant seat opposite, inexplicably remembered the "fake Jiang Xiang", and was angry, "Good boy, it's so fucking deep, I almost didn't see it." β
Thinking of Jiang Xiang's various actions, Li Zijin was a little worried.
Jiang Xiang actually didn't hurt him by half a point, but helped him in that sword questioning scene, borrowing the stone of his mountain, the way to attack jade, and with the fear of that sword, he helped Li Zijin successfully break through the realm and enter the soul building realm sword cultivation.
Today's young man is already a great monk of the Three Realms.
Li Zijin thought that when he reached the Jindan Realm, he would be able to retrieve the Chengying Sword, but I don't know how many years it would take before he could become a Jindan Realm sword cultivator?
He glanced at the long street of the restaurant outside, prosperous and splendid, people coming and going, Li Zijin raised his head and drank another cup of Jiannan Roasted Spring.
Today, there is no Jiang Xiang to talk to him.
After the person leaves, he will remember the noise and nagging.
Looking at the last bit of wine in the wine jar, the boy poured it into the glass, raised the glass, and hovered in the air, refusing to drink the last glass of wine.
Li Zijin was stunned, remembered a certain article he had read when he was young, and suddenly smiled: "Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and the shadow will become a trio." How did you come up with it? The sage who came out to pay equal relations to the princes and princes, and then retreated to look down on Chaoxu, is really a god and a man. β
