Chapter 116: Skeleton Tie
After eating and drinking, Xie Qingci took the water that the skeleton had prepared a long time ago, rinsed his mouth and washed his hands, looking satisfied.
She leaned lazily against a nearby tree, half-lying and watching the skeleton clean up the mess, and asked, "Do you have a name?"
The skeleton was stunned when he heard this, and then lowered his head and whispered: "The slave used to have a name, called Zhou Wanshan...... It's just that now the slave is no longer what it used to be, and the name is abandoned. ”
She was stunned when she heard this, and saw him suddenly half-kneeling on the ground, with a firm expression, and his black hole eyes stared straight at Xie Qingci, as if he was looking forward to it:
"The slave is no longer the original Zhou Wanshan. The past has passed, and now the slave belongs to the master, and belongs only to the master. I hope that the master will give the slave a new name. ”
There was silence for a while.
"This ......"
Xie Qingci had a headache and scratched his hair. It's really embarrassing for her to have a nice name.
She searched in her mind, her eyes wandering around unconsciously.
When she saw a metal rod caught in the fire, she had an idea and blurted out: "Ah Tie, hard as iron, tough as iron." ”
She felt that the name was very good, smooth and rich in meaning, and said a little excitedly: "What do you think, I will call you Ah Tie." ”
When the skeleton heard this, he subconsciously shouted "Ah Tie" a few times, then knelt down happily and kowtowed to her:
"The slave likes the new name very much, Nu Ah Tie, thank the master for the name. ”
Xie Qingci looked at him really happy, and couldn't help but be complacent, and said with a smile: "It's good if you like it." ”
"After cleaning up, tell me everything about you, and you are not allowed to hide it. ”
Ah Tie paused, then nodded slightly.
"Good. ”
......
"Sa"
The evening breeze in the woods was cool. The woods are shady, and the green wood is long.
Xie Qingci lay quietly on the top of the tree, his hands on his head.
She tilted her face slightly, and her clear eyes looked at the cold white moon faintly. Qing Lingling's moonlight reflected her eyes, and she couldn't see through the emotions in her eyes.
Now the first thing is to end Ah Tie's long-cherished wish and completely solve the hidden danger of the long-cherished slave contract, otherwise she will be uneasy.
She spread out her palm, and a red skull rune faintly appeared, like a fiery heart, beating and breathing.
This is the long-cherished heart left behind when the contract was formed, and it is also the soul of Ah Tie.
Ah Tie's long-cherished wish is actually not difficult, his obsession is to go back to his Zhouzhuang and bury his deceased relatives well.
But the trouble is that Ah Tie died hundreds of years ago, and there have been many vicissitudes in a hundred years, and Zhouzhuang is just a small village. After so many years, I am afraid that it has long been barren and nowhere to be found, and it is still a little difficult to really find it.
Ah Tie can't remember the specific location clearly, and he can't even be sure whether he is leaving the state.
After all, he was once just an ordinary mortal, and in his memory, he lived in this small village until he died, and he had never gone far away, nor had he set foot in the realm of cultivating immortals.
Xie Qingci frowned, her fingers unconsciously tapped the trunk of the tree, and the sound of "knock knock" sounded regularly, beating in her heart.
Since Ah Tie never left the village until he died, how did the Tong family find Ah Tie's bones and transfer them to the blood pool after his death?
Does this mean that the former Zhouzhuang is actually around Longcheng?
Xie Qing sorted out his thoughts and speculated silently, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.
She looked at the moon and sighed quietly.
It's a pity that Ah Tie's memory is incomplete, I almost don't remember what happened hundreds of years ago, and I only remember some trivial things, and I don't know what happened.
He only knew that the Tong family was his enemy of life and death, and there was a haunting Zhou Zhuang.
"Master, have you slept?"
Just as he was thinking, Ah Tie's voice suddenly came from under the tree.
Xie Qingci raised his eyebrows, and replied loudly: "Not yet, what's the matter?"
Ah Tie's voice sounded, weakly with a hint of shame.
"Master, slave has a few words that I don't know a little bit...... Can you teach a slave ......?"
"Huh"
When Xie Qingci heard this, he turned his body, and simply turned over and jumped down from the top of the tree, his posture was light.
She watched Ah Tie just hold two books as big as bricks. His skeletal face couldn't see the expression, but she actually felt a trace of shame and grievance, and stood in place in a daze, looking a little pitiful.
At a glance, the two lines of gilded characters printed on the book cover, "Cultivation of Immortal World Delicacies, Spiritual Food" and "Treasure of Different Herbs", are particularly conspicuous and eye-catching.
"Ahem. ”
Xie Qingci coughed twice in embarrassment, hiding the unnaturalness of his expression.
With her thick skin, she actually feels like she seems to be ...... It's a bit excessive. Beginning to exploit people so quickly is a bit like the vicious master in the book.
Of course, it was only a little weak, and in a moment she immediately convinced herself.
Ah Tie can't do anything, he can't hunt for treasures, he can't explore spirits, and he can't fight this way, so he can talk about his cooking skills. If it is not cultivated, it will not be a waste. After all, she can't ignore the contract, she doesn't raise useless people.
Thinking like this, she calmed down: "You say, which word can't be used, point it out and I'll teach you." ”
Ah Tie seemed to be very surprised, laughed innocently twice, and pointed with his bone finger:
"Master, these circled words, slaves can't be. ”
Xie Qingci looked along his bones, and saw that the originally small layout was densely drawn with more than half of the circles.
...... Isn't this basically not, how can you say that a few words won't?
She twitched the corners of her mouth, thought for a moment, and pulled out a thick brick book from the black wooden hairpin.
Ah Tie asked with some curiosity, "What is this?"
Xie Qingci touched the cover of the hard Bangbang with some nostalgia, then handed the book to Ah Tie and raised his eyebrows.
"This is a dictionary left over from when I was a child, and it was left to me by my mother. You can read this book yourself and learn it, and if you don't understand, just ask me. ”
She thought for a moment and added: "I have been extremely fond of learning since I was a child, and I cherish books the most, and you should also be as studious as I am, so that you can recognize these spiritual herbs and spiritual food as soon as possible." ”
Ah Tie listened, and picked up this thick dictionary quite carefully, looking very solemn.
This is something left to her by the master's mother, and he must take good care of it.
He was serious and nodded heavily: "The slave understands that he will definitely live up to the kindness of his master." ”
Xie Qingci looked a little strangely relieved, and was about to say something, when he saw him turn the title page with some curiosity.
This flip is amazing, and immediately I saw a big turtle drawn with an ink pen in the open.
“......”
Xie Qingci choked on what he wanted to say.
She was expressionless, and turned around and left without giving Ah Tie time to react.
