Chapter 36: Up
"Deliberately split the purple dew, what do you want to say?"
Qin Jiang couldn't help but feel strange when he looked at Mengyu's arrangement.
According to common sense, Meng Yu doesn't like to hide his personality like this, how can he do this?
"The master is weird Mengyu, isn't he honest enough about his biological brother?"
Meng Yu looked at Qin Jiang with a pair of watery eyes, and his eyes were slightly red, as if Qin Jiang blamed him and was very wronged.
"No, you always have your considerations in doing things. ”
Qin Jiang couldn't stand such a dream feather, so he looked away.
With tears in his eyes, Chu Chu is pitiful, how can he not make people's hearts sway?
"Master, Meng Yu thinks that you should stop your steps now and stop looking for the treasure of the Jingting Sect for the time being!"
Meng Yu organized her language and tried to convey her meaning succinctly and clearly.
"Why?"
Although Qin Jiang knew what Mengyu said, he naturally had a reason for Mengyu.
Usually Meng Yu will also play petty, but he will never go wrong in such a big thing.
Such an abrupt request is really strange.
"This place is full of fresh air and quiet environment, and it is a place of joy for cultivators. Please also ask the master to bring everyone here for the time being to recuperate. Set aside a period of time for Qin Jue to practice well. ”
Meng Yu succinctly explained his reasons.
"Mengyu, what do you mean?"
Qin Jiang squinted slightly, thinking for a moment, but he didn't have any thoughts.
There seems to be no logical relationship between Meng Yu's preface and afterword. And, with such a reason, it seems unwise to try to convince yourself. What exactly did Mengyu want to say?
"The master also knows that Mengyu and Zilu only follow the destined person as the master. And the master must have a high level of cultivation, or a high level of cultivation in the future. Otherwise, Meng Yu and his younger brother would never follow ordinary people as masters. However, the double cultivation of the human piano means that while the combat effectiveness of the piano is improved, the combat effectiveness of the master should also be doubled. Moreover, our brothers, as soon as we begin to feed with the blood of the spirit, we will never stop. The nourishment of spiritual blood, one cannot be interrupted, and the other is that the cultivation of spiritual blood must be continuously promoted, so that the jade pendant can be supplied with sufficient blood qi, so that the qin spirit living in the jade pendant can be cultivated and continuously promoted, becoming the master's sword and backing. This trip is irreversible, otherwise, gradually the owner of the qin can no longer suppress the power of the spirit of the qin, so that in the end, the owner of the qin is counterattacked, the blood and qi are retrograde, and the meridians are broken and die. Now, Qin Jue's cultivation can supply Zilu's spiritual blood, and the spiritual power is no longer enough, and as time goes by, I'm afraid it will be ......."
Meng Yu didn't finish the rest of the words, but Qin Jiang also understood.
"What if this blood is from the heart?"
Kotoe tried to find a temporary alternative.
"If there is nothing to be done in the short term, this is also a compromise. However, in this way, although the requirement of abundant spiritual power is met for a while, it will more or less damage the foundation of the cultivator. Master, are you sure you want to do this?"
Meng Yu Xiaoming was at stake, and raised his eyes to ask Qin Jiang's opinion.
"Tell me, how long will Zilu last?"
Qin Jiang secretly thought about the next plan in his heart.
"A month and a half at most. ”
Meng Yu said his conservative estimate.
"That's enough, can you use my spiritual blood to feed Zilu for the time being?"
Qin Jiang felt that since he could indirectly control Zilu, he should be able to feed it with his own spiritual blood.
"Never! Every time Qin Ling recognizes a master, he will only suck the spiritual blood of his own master until the master is destroyed. Even if Master, your cultivation is already strong and sophisticated to the point where you can indirectly control Zilu, it will not work. ”
Mengyu knew what Qin Jiang was planning, but he ruthlessly shattered Qin Jiang's hope slightly.
It's not that Meng Yu wants to do this, it's just that this method doesn't work.
"I see. ”
Qin Jiang blinked slowly, hiding his loss.
"Does the master think that our brothers are very troublesome?"
Meng Yu has been following Qin Jiang for a long time, so he can naturally sense Qin Jiang's mood fluctuations, and asked softly.
"Not yet. You are the finale of the master luthier Muzhenzi, and there are many rules, but it is not incomprehensible. ”
Qin Jiang was afraid that Meng Yu would misunderstand him, so he explained in a somewhat hurried tone.
"When it comes to my father, I really miss him! I don't know if my father is making the piano again without sleep or food? Or is it in a certain secret realm, living a life of idle clouds and wild cranes?Hmm~ Mengyu seems to have not seen his father for a long time! I haven't even seen ...... in my dreams."
At the mention of Wu Zhenzi, Meng Yu's tone gradually lowered again.
Qin Jiang could only hug Meng Yu tightly and comfort him.
But in retrospect, at least Meng Yu can still miss his father, but what about himself?
I can't even remember what that man looked like!
Maybe time is really a wonderful thing, it quietly polishes your memory in an imperceptible way. Until one day, when I mentioned it again, it was like seeing flowers in a fog......
When I returned to the inn, it was already dawn.
But I saw a plain man in white, sitting on the ridge of the house, holding a jade flute with a whole emerald green body, placed on his ruddy lips, and his eyes were far away.
"Playing with internal force, is there too much internal force? If you don't mind, do you want to accompany me through two moves?"
Qin Jiang tapped his toes lightly, and stood behind Zhen Di flutteringly, with a hint of complaint in his tone.
"I've seen big brother. ”
Zhen Di got up and turned sideways.
Facing Qinjiang, he raised his hands in front of his chest and made a slight gesture.
Although the tone was polite, there was a faint distantness, just like the sparse shadow flute in his own hand.
"I heard that there was a low grievance in the sound of the third brother's flute, I don't know what it is?"
Qin Jiang smiled slightly, as if asking about something inconsequential, and his tone was as relaxed as small talk.
How can people who are also proficient in music theory not know the meaning of that song?
"It's just that I'm idle and have nothing to do, so I'm here to talk about comfort. He didn't want to disturb others, so he played with internal force. ”
Zhen Di seemed to deliberately ignore the temptation from Qinjiang, and just said lightly.
"But are you complaining that the eldest brother won't save him when he sees death?"
Qin Jiang turned sideways, didn't look at Zhen Di, and didn't have any buffer, and directly raised the question between the two at this time.
Qin Jiang faced the courtyard of the inn, but left the side face with an indifferent expression to Zhen Di. His gaze was fixed on a few verdant trees not far away, with a little distant and elusive.
Zhen Di didn't dare. ”
Zhen Di directly ignored Qin Jiang's question, and made another gesture, and his attitude was respectful and irreproachable.
With such an appearance, it seems that Qinjiang, who is now indifferent, is quite aggressive.
However, Zhen Di's attitude, isn't it respectful openly and complaining secretly?
“... Do you still remember three years ago, when we traveled to the Tianshan Mountains together? That time, we met a 'Bingling', the divine beast that guarded the Tianshan Snow Lotus. Tianshan Snow Lotus, which gathers the essence of the sun and the moon, absorbs the aura of heaven and earth, and only opens in a hundred years, is an extremely rare healing medicine. It happened that Uncle Shi was refining the pill, so it was just like this. A few of us fought with Bingling, just for a Tianshan Snow Lotus that only bloomed in 500 years. Although we got Snow Lotus in the end, at that time, Zhen Zheng was hit by the Huan Ice Needle from the 'Ice Cube'......"
Qin Jiang didn't pay attention to Zhen Di's inconsistencies, but just lightly recounted their past.
"What?!Zhen Zheng was tricked?!How did I not know?!"
The news that Zhen Zheng had been tricked immediately shredded Zhen Di's indifference and alienation, and his rapid breathing betrayed his nervousness.
After all, in this world, Zhen Zheng is his only relative who is related by blood.
But he never knew that Zhen Zheng was hit by a needle.
This is his dereliction of duty as an older brother!
However, how could the secret weapon emitted by the divine beast be something that a mortal could bear? Not to mention that he had been in Zhen Zheng's body for so long? How could he, as an elder brother, be so derelict in his duties?
"At that time, your cultivation was far from reaching the level of being able to sense when a divine beast would make a move. Originally, I had already felt the attack of the Huan Ice Needle, and I wanted to resolve it and block it for Zhen Zheng. But that Huan Ice Needle is like having a pair of eyes, even if it turns a corner, it will be pierced into Zhen Zheng's body. However, there is nothing I can do about it. ”
Qin Jiang's tone was a little helpless, paused, and continued.
"Later, in the secret library of the Jing Pavilion, I finally found a record of the Huan Bing Needle issued by Bingling in a roll of bamboo slips of some age. Legend has it that the Huan Ice Needle was transformed by the cold air of the Tianshan Mountains, condensed the power of the divine beasts, and refined with ice jade as its body. It is a cold thing, and if it is struck by this, it will definitely endure the erosion of the cold. Fortunately, Zhen Zheng's natal five elements belong to fire, which can be charged to one or two. However, the cold poison of the Huan Ice Needle would still remain in his body, restricting his cultivation's entry. Before I started last night, I made a divination. Zhen Zheng's trip, although it is a little dangerous, will have unexpected gains. You should also notice that when fighting against Shi Xu, Shi Xu's demon power is very strong, and Zhen Zheng can't beat him, but Zhen Zheng plans to break the net with Shi Xuyu. Even if you exhaust the last bit of strength, you can't fall. When fighting, this kind of practice is most taboo. Where there is life, there is hope. A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, there is no need to rush for a while. Hanmu Zheng can also be regarded as a divine weapon, protecting Zhen Zheng's heart when he exhausted his last bit of strength. It is precisely because of Shi Xu's powerful demonic power that he stimulated the power of 'fire' in the five elements of his life in Zhen Zheng's body, so that he was put to death and reborn. Not only did it break through the bottleneck of the recent cultivation, but it also completely forced the cold poison of the Huan Bing Needle out of the body, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. Presumably, this is the unexpected joy mentioned in the hexagram. ”
“... I see......"
The truth is often shocking.
After listening to Qin Jiang's words, Zhen Di didn't know how to respond, but just spit out four words in a daze.
"At that time, when I received a note from you, I knew that you were very worried about Zhen Zheng's situation. But because of the situation, you are bound, which is the fault of the eldest brother. ”
Qin Jiang turned around and said to Zhen Di with a little apology.
"No! No! No, it's that Zhen Di is too narrow-minded, and he has never had a big brother who understands righteousness!"
Zhen Di really feels embarrassed now, he really has the heart of a villain, and he lives the belly of a gentleman.
"If only you could understand. ”
Qin Jiang didn't care much.
"But, big brother, there is still something Zhen Di doesn't know. Could it be that the eldest brother already knew that we would win, so he talked to Shi Xu so calmly?"
Zhen Di still felt that what happened this night was too incredible, so he asked.
"Not really. Shi Xu has never taken us seriously, there must be treasures with him, so he is so arrogant. However, his teachings are not more than a hundred years. In terms of the long lifespan of the demon, he is still only in the childhood of a human being, and even if he wants to fully activate the power of the treasure in his hand, it will be difficult for him to reach the sky. So I knew that he was not yet capable. Later, he sealed the hedron into his heart, intending to trap us with demonic power and the power of the hedron. Then he threw us all into the alchemy furnace to refine his so-called Ascending Elixir. However, the move was too risky. After a long time, it will be counterattacked. The enchantment is blessed by two forces, so it is not easy to break, and we are limited in our movement in the enchantment. So, I took advantage of the conversation with him to stall for time. When Shi Xu has been counterattacked and the enchantment has become thinner, I will hint to Zhen Zheng and Xiao Jue to break the enchantment in one fell swoop. Xiao Jue's natal five acts of 'wood' have a blessing effect on Zhen Zheng, and naturally under the combined action of internal and external forces, he can easily break through the enchantment and subdue the demons. ”
Qin Jiang informed Zhen Di of his thoughts at that time.
"Big brother's plan is perfect. ”
Zhen Di is convinced of Qinjiang's plan.
“... Originally, I was going to wait for you to recuperate for two days before I could deal with the follow-up. But now the situation has changed, and the original plan needs to be changed. Zhen Di, you go and handle the affairs of the old lady of the Li family, be careful, and appease the old man well. Call Xiao Crane and tell him to go to Applejack. These things should be handled as low-key as possible and not attract too many people's attention. Early tomorrow morning, we will set off for 'Bishuang Pond'. ”
After thinking about the current situation, Qin Jiang said to Zhen Di.
Zhen Di is calm and patient, and it is the most suitable person to persuade the old lady of the Li family. And Applejack, facing the death of his beloved, must have suddenly realized that the world was dark and boundless. Xiao He's temperament is lively, and he has a bit of the pride of a man in the rivers and lakes, and it is the best choice for him to persuade Ajie, who is also a man. And, with Xiao He's temperament, maybe he can make Applejack completely out of this shadow, and even become good friends with Applejack. This arrangement is quite reasonable. In order to make things have a better ending, Qinjiang has to take into account all aspects.
"Yes. ”
Zhen Di, who knew the whole story, heard about Qinjiang's arrangement, and didn't say much with interest, but immediately received the order.
