Chapter 98: Commitment
In the hot spring pool, Zhou Jiujian was lying alone in it.
To be exact, this place should be called "Yangyuan Pool", a pool specially used to heal injuries and can also be used for rest and washing, here, it is also a place where Ji Hongjin takes a bath on weekdays, and today, it is naturally vacated for Zhou Jiujian to heal.
The young man didn't expect that after a few days, he had to lie in this pool again, according to what Ji Hongjin said, this time, he had to stay for a day.
Spend the whole day here......
It's really comfortable, but it's a bit too boring here.
However, to be honest, this Yangyuan Pool is really a peculiar place, or rather, a treasure land.
The warm spring of this pond is poured out through the ground, and then it leads directly from the secret passage in the mountain to the top of this moat, and naturally forms such a pool of hot springs, and at the other end of this pool, a gap is dug for the water to flow through other places, and this opening, which fell down is done by Ji Hongjin.
Under this moat, there are many earth fire molten lava, Zhou Jiujian knows this, and yesterday it was Ji Hongjin who led him down from a place that looked like the entrance of a cave, allowing him to see such a spectacular scene with his own eyes. And it is not surprising that there will be hot spring geothermal water coming out here, and it must be that the water veins in the ground are too close to the molten ground fire somewhere underground, and they are heated by it, and then this is formed, as long as you think about it a little, you can understand it.
It's just that, the point is, where did the healing effect of this hot spring water and even the effect of purifying the skin and nourishing the skin come from? The young man was really puzzled, and after careful investigation, he didn't find that there was a little aura in this water source, and at most it felt particularly sweet when he was usually up, but this didn't prove anything.
The boy asked Ji Hongjin, and she just smiled and said, "It's a secret~"
It was clear that he didn't plan to tell him that he was coming, so Zhou Jiujian had to think about it by himself, and it could be regarded as finding something to pass the time for his boring day.
However, just soaking in this Yangyuan Pool, Zhou Jiujian couldn't find any clues for a long time, and after a while, even he felt that this matter was extremely boring, so he simply gave up.
And Ji Hongjin repeatedly reminded the young man that he was not allowed to cultivate at this time, saying that it would cause a clash and problems would arise, so Zhou Jiujian really didn't know what to do now.
Extremely bored, the young man simply closed his eyes and lay down in the Yangyuan Pool, and had a good sleep, estimating that when he woke up, the injury should be almost better.
......
Zhou Jiujian slept for a long time, and his whole body was lying in the Yangyuan Pool, only one head was exposed as before, and the water temperature in the pool would never decrease, which was really comfortable.
The boy yawned heavily, and finally woke up, opened his eyes, and looked at the horizon, and it was already twilight.
Unexpectedly, I really slept for almost a day.
Zhou Jiujian secretly sighed a little, that is, he could sleep for so long without any worries, and he didn't need to practice all the time, remembering that when he came before, every night, he was mostly closing his eyes and cultivating silently, how could he be so "lazy" like now.
"Little ghost, woke up?" In a blink of an eye, I saw Ji Hongjin standing on the edge of the pool, looking at her with a smile.
This woman seems to have that smile on her face all the time.
Zhou Jiujian looked at her a little helplessly, and said, "Please, can you not just come over without shying away like this, anyway, I'm also naked and naked in here!"
Ji Hongjin glanced at him, and deliberately put his gaze on his white body, then looked away indifferently, and said indifferently: "Hey, what's the big deal, you little ghost look, the old lady hasn't seen it, and besides, it's still you, a little ghost, who is not ashamed to come to me! Why, now that you know how shy? Then where did you get the courage in the first place? And, yes, your clothes." ”
Zhou Jiujian couldn't help but panic when he heard her mention her own foolish thing that day, I really hope she forgot about it and don't mention it again, it's too embarrassing: "Okay, okay, I beg you, you won't talk about it, okay?"
Ji Hongjin glanced at him again, and then said, "The previous set of clothes didn't look good, so I changed a new set for you." ”
Zhou Jiujian looked sideways, and saw a set of clothes placed on a smooth big stone beside her, looking at the background color seemed to be a set of white clothes, and the fabric used should not be much worse, but I didn't know if it fit.
Ji Hongjin saw that he saw the clothes, and then looked at him twice with the method of internal vision, and what he saw was the young man's injury.
After she saw it, she said to the young man: "Little ghost, your injuries are almost healed, wait a minute, get dressed and come to me, I will wait for you in the main building." ”
After she said this, she simply turned around and walked outside.
Too good to be true?
Zhou Jiujian was overjoyed when he heard this, and then thought about what she said later in her words, so he asked himself to go to her after he got dressed, so he looked at her back as she walked away slowly, and said in a loud voice: "Something?"
Ji Hongjin didn't reply, and she didn't pause in her steps, she still only let the young man see her back, and left two words: "Something." ”
Zhou Jiujian's eyes moved, after the turning point last night, his original crumbling Dao heart was stabilized by her words, and she also pulled herself out of the way, and she was naturally very grateful to her.
If it weren't for her words to wake up the person in the dream, so that the young man realized what he was holding in his heart, I'm afraid that he would still be in a state of confusion now, unable to break free.
Although, Zhou Jiujian still didn't agree with some of her practices and sayings in his heart, but I have to say that at this moment, the young man has begun to tolerate her in his heart.
It's probably just an overnight change, but most of the things in the world have changed overnight, and it may catch people off guard.
Zhou Jiujian put away his thoughts, since Ji Hongjin said that his injury was almost better, then naturally there was no need to stay in this Yangyuan Pool any longer, although it was really comfortable to lie here, but after staying for a long time, it would become very boring.
He didn't want to lie like this anymore, and besides, he had just woken up, and it was when he was full of energy, so he immediately stood together.
After stretching his muscles and bones for a while, it was really much more comfortable, Zhou Jiujian couldn't help but let out a soft cry and stood naked in the pool.
At this moment, he is here alone, so he is naturally not afraid of being seen by anyone again, and the young man naturally has no scruples, and he will not hide it.
Of course, he is not a person with that special hobby, nor is he the kind of naked exhibitionist, so he hurriedly went ashore and picked up the clothes that Ji Hongjin had prepared for him.
Unexpectedly, Ji Hongjin also thoughtfully prepared a towel for him to dry his body.
Hey, that's kind!
Zhou Jiujian looked at it and thought with a smile.
Don't think about it for a while, quickly grab a towel and wipe your body clean, and then put the clothes on.
Dressed in a plain white brocade robe, with a glazed jade belt tied around his waist, and a pair of ink-colored high boots under his feet, the young man seems to be a few more mature at this moment.
It's a pity that he doesn't have much hair now, a short hair is long and stops on his shoulders and then scattered at will, otherwise, he really has the appearance of a "white-faced pure jade, graceful and suave" son-in-law, and the shape of the young man at this moment is in Sven, but it is a little uninhibited, and there are always some, strange combinations.
However, Zhou Jiujian was very satisfied with the set of clothes given by Ji Hongjin, because when he wore it on his body, it was very comfortable, and there were no constraints between his walking movements, and for the appearance of this robe, a plain color was also quite satisfactory to him, and he was not the kind of person who was very picky, so he was already satisfied at the moment.
Walk along the path in front of Yangyuan Pond, go out, both sides are full of unclimbable rock walls, I am afraid that it is hundreds of zhang high, look up and only feel that I am incomparably slim, and it is worthy of being called "Wangtian Moat", there is only one way to go straight back and forth, which is also the terrain of the first line of sky, and on the Yangyuan Pond behind the young man, it is the depth of this Wangtian Moat, and then go inside a short distance to reach the end, and there is no way to go.
As for the "main building" mentioned by Ji Hongjin, it is the highest attic in the building in the middle of this moat, and it is also where Ji Hongjin lives, but due to the arrival of the boy, she also vacated a floor in the attic for the boy to live in.
As for the other buildings except this main building, they were divided into various uses by Ji Hongjin, and a huge house was specially built for the demon wolf called "White Shadow" for him to live in.
And these buildings, as Ji Hongjin said, were all built by her alone, which really made Zhou Jiujian feel a little incredible.
However, thinking about her cultivation at such a high level, it is estimated that she should also have some special means, it is impossible to build one wood by one by herself, right? If that is really the case, it is really, a big joke in the world.
Zhou Jiujian walked slowly, and it didn't take long for him to see the shadow of the main building. As he got closer, he naturally saw the whole appearance of the main building, which was five stories high and the carvings were particularly gorgeous.
It's a shame to say that last night, the boy was pointed by Ji Hongjin from the highest roof of the main building to the rock wall on that side with one finger, and he also fell into a lot of meat.
Walking into this main building, I saw the furnishings inside, showing the antique flavor of books, and the first floor is a hall, surrounded by many rare antique calligraphy and paintings.
Ji Hongjin sat on a mahogany chair, holding a cup of tea in his hand, took a sip, raised his eyes, and saw Zhou Jiujian walking through the door.
Ji Hongjin's eyes lit up, looking at the young man's current outfit, his face was happy, he put down the teacup, looked at him and said with a smile: "Tsk, the old lady's vision is good! Okay, it's this dress, it's good, it's good!"
Zhou Jiujian found a chair on the side, sat down, looked at her suspiciously, and said, "What......'s good?" What do you mean?"
Ji Hongjin pursed her lips, looked at the young man, and said, "It means, in two days, I want you to wear this dress and go outside with me!"
"What, go...... Outside?" Zhou Jiujian was stunned.
Ji Hongjin's eyes narrowed slightly, and said: "Yes, isn't this something you've been thinking about for the past few days?
Besides, what happened last night had nothing to do with not being able to get out, right? Also, even if he went out, he would not be free...... By the way, where are you going?
"Where are we going?" Zhou Jiujian said strangely.
"Hmm......" Ji Hongjin dragged out a long tone, listening as if she was groaning, but the next moment she had already heard her say, "Let's go to Qifeng." ”
"Qi Feng?!" Zhou Jiujian said with a slight surprise.
"Little ghost, you can't have heard of it, right?" asked Ji Hongjin.
This is naturally impossible, Qifeng Dynasty...... With such a thunderous dynastic country, how could Zhou Jiujian not have heard of it?
As the country with the strongest national strength, the widest territory, and the greatest strength in the chaotic war of Daze, it is also the source of the disaster of Daze's chaotic world today, and it is also known as the "re-xing" dynasty that is very likely to unify Daze again.
"Yes. Zhou Jiujian replied.
Ji Hongjin nodded and said, "That's good, I thought you were really so ignorant." ”
Zhou Jiujian grinned, he didn't care much about her little taunt, but he wanted to know more, what was he going to do with the Qifeng Dynasty this time?
"We, what are we going to do there?" Zhou Jiujian asked.
Ji Hongjin shook his head and said softly: "Go there, find someone to ask for something, and ask for a little more news, well, you have to do a little thing by the way." ”
"That'...... If you can't go to these things, why do you still have to take me?" Zhou Jiujian asked again.
"Because," Ji Hongjin glanced at him with a smile, and then said to himself, "I finally accepted an apprentice, I have to let people know what, and then see what my apprentice looks like...... Well, although you don't have a drop. Also, didn't I say that I still have to do some small things, and I have to rely on you to do it. Besides, I'm not afraid of leaving you here alone, but what if you accidentally walk around and run into the trap I laid and die?"
Hearing what she said, Zhou Jiujian was really speechless, and he didn't know what to say.
Seeing Ji Hongjin glance at him again, he said again: "Besides, if you go there with me, maybe I can get you a chance to improve your cultivation...... Hmm, you're just a mere swordsman now, it's too low, you have to be promoted to a swordsman quickly and enter the room. ”
When Zhou Jiujian heard this, he smiled a little bitterly and said, "It's quite simple, I haven't even started casting that sword furnace now!"
Ji Hongjin smiled and said, "This matter is simple and not in a hurry. ”
"Speaking of which, before, where did you and your companions want to go?" Ji Hongjin asked curiously.
Regarding this matter, Zhou Jiujian was not afraid to tell her, anyway, the opening of the Huangquan Cave Heaven seemed to be news from many sects on the mountain, and it should not be closed to her news.
"I originally planned to go to the Huangquan Cave Heaven in the extreme south to practice. The boy replied.
"Huangquan Dongtian?" Ji Hongjin frowned when he heard this, looked at him, but nodded slowly, "With your realm, it's suitable...... It's just that if I'm not mistaken, then wouldn't the Huangquan Cave Heaven only open in March next year? Today, it's not just the end of November? Why did you go so early?"
"Let's travel...... While walking, while cultivating. Zhou Jiujian replied.
Ji Hongjin sneered and said, "Your reason is not bad, that's okay, the old lady will think about it, and see if I will send you to the Huangquan Cave when the time comes." ”
When Zhou Jiujian heard this, he was suddenly overjoyed and said, "Really?"
Ji Hongjin snorted coldly: "Hmph, let's take a look at your performance during this period of time!"
At this moment, after listening to what she said, the young man really couldn't help but be overjoyed, if Ji Hongjin really promised to send himself to the Huangquan Cave at that time, it would really be a great thing, and when the time comes, it will also be able to reunite with Liu Yue and Xixi again, in this way, it is not a deviation from the established itinerary, at most, there are only some discrepancies in the middle, it is also an excellent choice!
At least, I don't have to think about it anymore to see if I can find a chance to escape......
