Chapter 30: The Celestial Voice
Three days.
Jiang Li slept for three days without waking up, and the tension for a long time suddenly relaxed, and the whole person softened, and the cat was in the quilt.
The afternoon sun spread into the whole room through the window, rolling and tumbling in the corner, holding a large piece of the best spirit stone in the corner of the sleeping Zhengxiang. There is a faint scent of orchids flowing in the air, and there is a breeze floating in the air. It was a quiet and peaceful scene, but suddenly there was a bang.
"Bang"
The closed door was kicked open, and Su Xi's crisp voice came in: "Jiang Li, can you treat me as an inn......?"
“......”
All the voices stopped abruptly, and Su Xi's originally angry expression instantly cracked, and his face turned red.
Awakened by the sound, Jiang Li hurriedly jumped off the bed, and was about to pick up the gun immediately, but when he saw Su Xi, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What are you crazy about." ”
"Ah, rascal. Su Xi hurriedly turned around, his face was red and about to drip blood.
"What are you talking about...... Jiang Li reacted at this time, looked down at himself, and then weakly said a "nonsense", and then ran back to the bed, wrapped in the quilt.
At this time, Han Lu, who heard the voice, also ran out from next door, just in time to see a handsome boy standing there, and before she could speak, the door was closed.
"You, put your clothes on. Su Xi suppressed his voice and said in a violent voice.
Waiting for Jiang Li to be dressed neatly, the two sat facing each other, and the atmosphere was very awkward.
"That...... Do you want tea?" Jian Jian quickly poured her a cup of tea, but his hands were a little shaky, and he said, "Why are you here?"
"Why did I come here? Are you embarrassed to say? I heard that my Linglong Pavilion has become an inn, who gave you the courage?" Su Xi was angry when he said this. One year, she thought he was dead, especially when there was turmoil in the Demon Beast Forest.
"Well, the main inns are full, there's no way, don't say it, you're really good. Jiang Li smiled awkwardly. "Look at this flower and grass, it's old and comfortable. ”
"Don't talk about these useless things, a year, why haven't you died?" Su Xi rolled her eyes and said, "I'm still waiting to collect your body." ”
"Worried about me?" Jiang Li looked at her awkward appearance and laughed.
"Get out. ”
Listening to the familiar tone, the atmosphere between the two finally eased and they looked at each other and smiled.
"Who is that female cultivator?" Su Xi raised her eyebrows and said.
"My apprentice. Jiang Li bared his teeth and looked stunned.
"Poof. Su Xi spit out a sip of tea without swallowing it, spraying Jiang Li's face?
"What are you doing?" Jiang Li wiped his face.
"Your apprentice, make no mistake, what kind of cultivation are you?" Su Xi felt that he couldn't accept it.
"The master is the teacher, and I am very strong. Jiang Li said: "But Su Su, help me refine a magic robe, I have been a wild man for a year." ”
"Please let me do ......," Su Xi said.
"It's expensive. I know. Jiang Li said: "The master is rich." ”
The spirit stone mine in the Cloud-winged Tiger Cave, he didn't dig less.
The two chatted for a while, and then came out of the room and saw Han Lu standing at the door. Seeing Jiang Li coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and greeted, "Master?"
Han Lu was a little unrecognizable, she was used to seeing Jiang Li's unkempt appearance, and this sudden change in image made her a little unfamiliar. Originally, there was a bit of mystery in the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes, but suddenly she became a lazy young man, which made her a little unable to react.
"Yes, people depend on their clothes. Jiang Li looked at Han Lu, dressed in red, his already white and delicate face was a little more aggressive, his hair was tied high in a ponytail, and he was heroic.
Su Xi looked Han Lu up and down, pursed his lips, and did not speak.
"Oh, this is my friend, the master of this Linglong Pavilion, Su Xi. Jiang Li introduced: "My apprentice, Han Lu. ”
"I've seen Uncle Su. Han Lu arched his hand, and then stepped aside.
"Ahem, hello, hello. Su Xi was embarrassed, he was obviously a monk of the same generation at this age, but he suddenly grew up a generation, this feeling is indescribable. However, he quickly adjusted his mentality, took out a jade plaque and handed it over: "Accept it, meet the gift." ”
"This?" Han Lu glanced at Jiang Li.
"Take it, you can get a discount on your purchases. Jiang Li said with a smile.
"You're so rich, do you care about that discount?" Su Xi said disdainfully: "Does your master know that he is rich?"
"Yes. Han Lu nodded seriously, and was still very distressed. Thinking that I spent a lot of money two days ago, I touched my storage ring, and I felt a little distressed.
"Alright, it's time to eat when you're full. Jiang Li interrupted the two and went out to forage for food.
It has been three days since he officially stepped into the immortal cultivation realm, but Jiang Li has been sleeping in his room for the past three days, and he hasn't taken a good look at this world.
Unlike the secular world, as one of the three main cities closest to the Demon Beast Forest, all the monks who enter and leave the Demon Beast Forest or experience or treasure hunting will come here to repair, so most of the trading channels are gathered here. Large and small stalls, shops selling goods can be seen everywhere, and the sound of shouting can be heard from the streets to the alleys. In the past, it was rare to see the immortal planting spirit grass, and the cherished ore was also rare here, and the Zhuji Dan of 1,200 spirit stones in the secular world was only 300 here.
Jiang Li didn't want to complain too much, the goods in the east were sold in the west, and the money was a difference, so in addition to the monks in the past, the most of them were purchased by the major forces.
It had been half a year since the news of the beast tide coming out, and Jiang Li found that instead of relaxing, the people here were becoming more and more vigilant. A notice was also posted at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, announcing the task of defending the city.
"Su Su, do you say this beast tide is real?" Jiang Li was a little skeptical.
"There will be a demon beast siege incident in the Demon Beast Forest every twenty years, and the day should be approaching, and now those who come are all scattered cultivators, and after a while, the disciples and elders of the major sects will come. Su Xi said.
"Then let's leave after dinner, otherwise it won't be good to be stuck here." Jiang Li decided.
"No, I can't go, the external teleportation array has been closed, and Shangqiu is currently only allowed to enter and not to leave. Until the end of the siege of the demon beast. Su Xi explained: "And what are you afraid of?"
"I'm not afraid, there will be three months before the Taiyi entrance exam, and I made an appointment with Yue Zichu to apply for the Taiyi exam. Jiang Li was entangled. If you know it sooner, you won't lose time.
"Do you want to go to Taiyi Sect?" Su Xi was puzzled.
"After all, it's the first university, and the resume is good. And my sister is there, and I want to go see her. ”
"But if you say that, the Taiyi Sect should also send someone in a few days. Su Xi thought about it.
The three of them mixed in the crowd, chatting all the way, looking here, looking there, buying some if they saw what they liked, and selling some if they didn't need it.
Jiang Li walked all the way and finally stopped at a stall.
"Fellow Daoist, how do you sell this lamp?" Jiang Li asked from a lotus lantern on the stall.
"Ah, fellow Daoist, you really have a vision, this lamp was brought out by me from the ancient ruins. The big man boasted: "At that time, it was enshrined in front of a god statue. ”
"Ancient ruins?" Jiang Li said with a smile.
"Isn't it? The big man continued, "You don't know, the statue of the god is alive, like a celestial being. ”
"Really?"
"Really!"
"So?"
"So!"
"How much?"
"I have a fate with Taoist friends, five thousand spirit stones. The big man's five fingers opened, and he looked like you were taking advantage of it.
"It's too expensive. Jiang Li stood up and was about to leave.
"Daoist friends don't look at it anymore?" the big man hurriedly said.
"Don't look at it, I can't afford it, just now I passed by a store that sells decorations, the glass lamp, it's only five hundred spirit stones, I thought you could be cheaper, but I didn't expect it to be a lamp that I can't afford." Jiang Li shrugged helplessly.
"Can that be the same? I'm from an ancient ruin. Dahan explained.
"I'll decorate the room, it's important to look good, I like the shape, I ask someone to make one. Jiang Li shook his head and refused.
When the big man saw that Jiang Li was leaving, he gritted his teeth and said, "Five hundred, five hundred, I'll sell it." ”
Jiang Li still shook his head.
"Four hundred, don't forget it. "That big man said.
Jiang Li was still a little hesitant, and picked up the lamp again to look at it carefully, the whole was jade-colored, and it looked like a lotus, but it was quite good-looking, but there was no trace of aura around his body.
"Okay. ”
Jiang Li was about to pay for it, when a voice came: "Wait, I'll give out five hundred spirit stones." ”
Jiang Li frowned, turned around, and saw a woman in white with a veil walking over surrounded by everyone, and the afterglow of the setting sun gave her a layer of golden light. There is a fairy spirit in every gesture, like a cloud. It's out of place around here.
"Do you want it?" Jiang Li raised his eyebrows, and complained in his heart, this pretending is too fake.
"Yes, I don't know if this son is willing to cut his love?" said the female cultivator.
"It's not a cut, you can buy it if you want. Jiang Li was helpless, and then said to Su Xi and Han Lu: "Let's go, go eat." ”
.......
I found a restaurant and asked for a private room. Jiang Li basically ordered all the signature dishes he could order, and by the way, he asked for two more servings to pack.
"What are you doing with two more copies?" Su Xi wondered.
"Have pets. "Jiang Li has a toothache.
In the past, there was only a need for rolling, but now there is a blue water jiao. Fortunately, the blue water Jiao is a quiet one, wrapped around his wrist, as long as he doesn't call it, he doesn't even want to move, it's really a house beast among beasts.
Su Xi didn't get entangled, but he was still curious: "Is that lamp a good thing?"
"yes. "Jiang Li is not sure, but the mixed yuan bead is throbbing, it should be a baby.
"Then why don't you. Su Xi was puzzled.
"Isn't it unaffordable? The man is bidding higher than me. Jiang Li shrugged.
"Are you a ghost?" Su Xi said disdainfully: "I think you have a crush on the Xuanhua Fairy." ”
"Who?" Jiang Li was puzzled.
"It's the veiled one just now, Xuanhua from Tianyin Valley. ”
"I don't know, but it looks good, and it matches Lin Shu, and they are very good at pretending. Jiang Li commented.
Han Lu listened all the time and didn't speak, she knew a little about her master, probably because she was afraid of trouble.
In fact, Han Lu's guess was good, this immortal cultivation realm is not better than the secular world, nor is it better than those demon beasts, and you can still run if you can't beat it. As the so-called geniuses go everywhere, there are as many babies as dogs. The man didn't look like a lonely man. He has no roots and no roots, he has already offended Lingshan and Tianluo Sect, if he offends a big force because of a possible treasure, then he will not be able to move an inch in the future? If this thing is really a treasure, then can he still live? He can take it away quietly, but it is unlikely at that time.
Thinking about it this way, Jiang Li felt that he was quite capable of causing trouble, which was completely different from his previous self. In the former society under the rule of law, people had to learn to abide by the law and form a unique moral system based on the law. Here, however, everything is ambiguous, and people prefer to believe that strength is king.
After stepping out of the box, Jiang Li is more willing to express his more authentic self, and he feels that he seems to value life more and at the same time, he becomes more indifferent to life. But there are still more than 20 years of socialist core values in his heart, which allows him to retain a trace of luck and touch, and the foundation that allows him to retain this luck and move comes from his strength.
But now that he was just a hairy boy who had just stepped into the immortal cultivation world, he couldn't be sure that the outcome of every conflict was just a fight, and if he lost, he might die. Win, probably crazy revenge. Therefore, he felt that there was no need for such an indifferent conflict as fighting for a thing, even if it was a treasure, but the last thing he lacked was a treasure.
If Jiang Li wants to survive in the cracks, the first step he has to do is to try not to attract attention before finding a backer. He knows this.
Here Jiang Li ate and drank nonsense, and forgot about the previous incident in a blink of an eye. Over there, Tianyin Valley was in Shangqiu's station, and Xuanhua sat there studying the lotus lantern in front of her.
"What's the difference?" muttered Xuanhua.
"Senior sister, senior sister. A girl in yellow pushed the door open with a cheerful voice.
"Forsythia, frizzy. Xuanhua said gently.
"Senior sister, good senior sister. Forsythia hugged Xuanhua's arm and said, "What kind of lamp is this? ”
"You. Xuanhua stretched out her finger and tapped Forsythia's forehead, and then whispered softly about the origin of the lamp.
"So, this could be a baby?" Forsythia curiously took the lotus lantern and looked up and down in confusion: "You can't see anything, is it just an ornament." ”
"Probably. Xuanhua said uncertainly. The man didn't seem to care, either.
Carefully recall the man's expression, there are so many things in that stall, but he just took a fancy to this lamp. But when she also made an offer, he gave up, and it was forgivable to say that he knew himself. But he clearly didn't know him, and he didn't have the slightest pity, it seemed that he was thinking too much.
"Senior sister, that's not necessarily, what if that person knows?" Forsythia said in disbelief: "Has the blood been dropped?"
"I've tried, but there is no response, I think the eight achievements are an object. Xuanhua said in a gentle voice: "And other people's things, why tell me?"
"Senior sister, what do you call his things, he can't afford to buy them and blame us?" Forsythia was very unhappy: "What my senior sister wants, it should be yours." ”
"Forsythia, what are you talking about?" Xuanhua pretended to be angry and said, "Don't say this kind of thing again in the future." ”
"Senior sister, you are just too gentle. Forsythia said unhappily: "You are my disciple of Tianyin Valley, the personal disciple of Qingqiu Zhenren, who is not polite to you." ”
"Okay, if this is heard by others, it will damage my reputation in Tianyin Valley, Master is Master, I am me. Xuanhua said seriously.
"Got it. Forsythia said helplessly: "But senior sister, I have a way to get that person to tell the secret of this lamp." ”
"Forsythia?" Xuanhua wondered.
"Just look at it. "Forsythia is full of confidence.
