۩ Volume 1 "The Return"۩ Chapter 12 Sleepless Tonight
"I Guan Yue Madam is just a little dissipated by the lack of soul qi nourishment, which is not irreparable, why is Brother Yue so excited? Just find a place with a strong soul qi to live in, slowly recuperate, and in time you can recover as ......before," Xiao Youran looked at Yue boldly with some surprise and said.
In fact, when I said this, I was a little apprehensive, and I didn't know if it was right or wrong. When he first entered the capital, he found that he could see the arrangement of the formation, and then in the fifth hall he found that he could feel and understand the cultivation, and at that time he attributed these to possible residual memories.
And now after experiencing that very realistic illusion in the Yue family, he found that he could not only sense and identify magic weapons, but now he could also test and judge the elixir, and even the grade level and medicinal effect function could be casually said. Even the cultivation level that only had a hazy feeling before could be explored and judged, and now even the physique medicine can be found at your fingertips.
The more these abilities are used, the clearer the thinking becomes, and at this moment, Xiao Youran was surprised to find that these seem to be not memories, but a variety of different skills, which already exist in the soul like physical instincts and cannot be forgotten, or the imprint engraved on the soul cannot be erased.
But this doesn't make sense, if it's not memory, then how can these things end up in the brain, and where are they stored?
"What? You still need to say it, isn't this nonsense......?
After listening to this, Yue Daring just mentioned a little mood fell to the bottom again, fell into the chair and picked up the wine jar and wanted to continue pouring it, but found that the whole jar of wine had made him drink to the trickle, and a nameless fire came from nowhere, and with a "snap" slammed the wine jar on the ground and shattered, leaning back on the chair and closing his eyes, he didn't know if he was sulking or thinking about something.
"Alas, don't blame him, he is straightforward and has no malice. Mrs. Yue's eyes were also a little gloomy.
"Oh, if you know the way, why don't you do it?" Xiao Youran was not angry, but he was more puzzled.
"Gongzi doesn't know, in this capital city, only the concentration of soul qi in the inner city is enough to nourish the soul body of the concubine, and we have known this for a long time. can be the husband's cultivation and official position, if it is not a business trip, he is not qualified to enter the inner city, let alone live for a long time. And the situation of the concubine is also ...... Alas, in short, thank you for the kindness of the laughing boy. ”
Mrs. Yue found a tray and squatted on the ground while cleaning up the fragments of the wine jar, and said leisurely.
Xiao leisurely heard that Mrs. Yue didn't say anything and seemed to have scruples, looking at the husband and wife, one of them frowned, closed their eyes and said nothing, and the other looked gloomy, bowing his head and busy, and suddenly felt that this family seemed to have a lot of secrets, full of strangeness, and couldn't help but have an urge to clear the clouds and see Wushan, especially the treasure spear in the illusion that made him unforgettable.
"Oh, that's right. In fact, even if you don't enter the inner city, there is still a way. Xiao Youran was silent for a moment, and suddenly spoke.
"What? is there a way?" Yue Daying, who was pretending to be dead with his eyes closed, jumped up from his chair when he heard the sound of "bang", and landed directly in front of Xiao Youran, startling him.
"Mom, don't be so startled, my heart can't stand it. Xiao leisurely pushed away Yue Daring, who was almost close to his face, and wiped a cold sweat.
"Brother, my good brother, what do you have to say in one go, you are broken in this paragraph, my heart can't stand it, brother!" Yue Daring has been empowered many times, coupled with the strength of the wine, and now he also feels a little short of breath and lightheaded.
"There is a way, but it is only maintained, even the soul qi of the inner city is the same as the symptom but not the root cause, if you want to change completely, you need to find another way. Xiao said solemnly.
"I know all of this, but ...... Forget it, let's talk about the law in front of us first, how to maintain it, what state to maintain, and how long can it be maintained?" Yue boldly wanted to speak and stopped, turned back and asked urgently.
"Well, it depends on the sister-in-law herself, and it will last at least until she runs out of life. And the state, if the situation is a little worse, the current state can be maintained, the situation is normal can be restored to the original, if the situation is slightly better......"
Xiao leisurely paused when he said this, as if he wanted to sell it.
"What will happen if the situation is good?" Yue Da was anxious, and he was about to stick it in his face again, so frightened that he quickly took a step back.
"If the situation is good, not only will you be able to recover as before, but you may even get some cultivation, even if the yin life is exhausted, there will still be a buffer time. ”
Xiao leisurely shook his head and said slowly, he didn't think anything of it, but hearing his words, Yue Daring was directly stupid on the ground, and even Mrs. Yue, who had just gotten up after cleaning up, was stunned, and the tray in her hand fell to the ground with a "pop", and the fragments of the wine jar were scattered to the ground again.
Seeing the state of the two of them, Xiao Youran was a little dazed, was there a problem with what he said, but before he could react, Yue boldly rushed over and held his hands tightly, trembling with excitement. His lips trembled and opened and closed, and he didn't know what to say, and he was about to kneel down as soon as his knees were weak, so he laughed in fright and hurriedly supported him.
"I can't help it, Brother Yue, what are you doing here?" Xiao leisurely pulled Yue Daring, who was still about to kneel, in astonishment.
"Laughing brother, if you can let Neiko gain cultivation and start the path of cultivation, it will be a grace to recreate my Yue family, for my brother, for my brother......" Yue Daring couldn't say any more, he could only clench his hands and keep shaking.
"Brother Yue, don't worry, let me check how my sister-in-law's soul body is?" Xiao Youran felt the artistic conception of kelp drifting in the waves from his arm, and hurriedly comforted Yue Daring, and turned his head to look at Mrs. Yue.
"Of course, hehehe, of course!Xiao'e, come over and let Brother Xiao take a good look!Hehe, he......" Yue Daring began to giggle again, and hurriedly beckoned Mrs. Yue to come closer.
Xiao leisurely circled around Mrs. Yue three times left and right, looking up and down non-stop, until Mrs. Yue's pretty face was slightly red, but he didn't notice it, and still looked intently.
Then he reached out and touched left and right where her soul body had gradually dissipated, causing Mrs. Le to bite her lip gently, her face was as red as a ripe tomato, and even Yue Daring, who was watching from the sidelines, turned a little dark. Finally, he grabbed one of her hands, gently pressed it on the vein, closed his eyes and felt it for a long time, and then seemed to be sure of something.
"Uh...... That, I'm sorry Mrs. Sister-in-law, I can't use my mind to investigate without cultivation, and I'm offended. Xiao Youyou opened her eyes and saw their demeanor, and quickly explained embarrassedly.
"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay! How about checking?" Yue Daring smiled very stiffly.
"Well, that's the case, the young lady's own soul body foundation is still okay, although it has been damaged, but if you persist in working hard, it is still possible to condense some cultivation. I'm going to teach you a way to absorb your soul qi on your own, you can try it out, and if you don't understand it, you can ask me at any time, this is the mantra......"
Xiao leisurely told Mrs. Yue the mantra and usage, afraid that she would not be able to remember it, so she patiently repeated and explained it a few times.
"Brother Xiao, this exercise you said sounds a little weird, can Neizi really absorb soul energy and start cultivation if you do it?" Yue Daring, who was listening, asked a little confusedly.
"Well, it should be possible to absorb soul energy, but I don't know if I can cultivate with this. Because I didn't know the exercises of soul cultivation, what I told her was, well, it can be said to be a kind of Taoism. Xiao thought about it leisurely and said seriously.
"What?Dao Fa?, what is that?" Yue Daring was even more confused.
"This ...... I can't explain it clearly, just use it anyway, right?" Xiao shook his head leisurely, and when he saw that Yue was bold and was about to speak again, he hurriedly rushed in front of him and continued: "Well, today is like this first, I am a little tired and want to go to bed early, Brother Yue, you should also hurry up and use the pill, tomorrow I will bother you to guide the way, I will not bother the two of you in the future, farewell!"
After saying that, he hugged his fist, and under the strange gaze of Yue Daring and his wife, he turned around and walked out of the side hall. But after a few breaths, he came back again, looked at the couple in the hall awkwardly, and said, "That...... Brother-in-law, where is your guest room?"
"Poof...... Laughing boy, please!" Mrs. Yue couldn't help laughing out loud when she looked at his embarrassment, and after admonishing Yue to be bold, she led Xiao leisurely to the wing room on the other side of the courtyard.
"That's it, the laughing boy can go in and rest, if you feel bored, there are some books on the shelves in the room, just say hello if you need anything. Mrs. Yue pushed open the door of the wing room and pursed her lips and smiled.
"There's Mrs. Lao. With a leisurely smile, he stepped into the room and turned around and closed the door.
The furnishings in the room are a little basic, but they are very well furnished and clean. Xiao leisurely lay on the bed thinking that Mrs. Yue seemed to be a little weird just now, and said that you can read a book if you are bored, what time is it, and it is not a talent who is rushing to take the exam, who goes to read a book without sleeping in the middle of the night?
Looking at the ceiling, Xiao Youran felt a little tired, but he didn't seem to be sleepy at the moment, so he began to think back to what happened today.
From the Ghost Gate Pass, I thought all the way to the Yama Palace, and the high-level of the underworld almost let myself see it all over, and then thought of the quirky girl Xiao Ling'er, thinking about the so-called agreement with her, I couldn't help but shake my head and smile, and then I thought of leaving the underworld and meeting the horse in the river, until I came here and experienced the illusion of the word card, etc., I feel that this short day is also wonderful.
But then I thought that I seemed to have mastered a lot of skills all of a sudden, and even seemed to have no teacher for cultivation and cultivation methods, etc., I felt a little unbelievable, is it really as Niu Tou said, I was not an ordinary person in my life?
But no matter how hard I tried to recall, I couldn't remember anything about the things before the ghost gate closed, and the more I recalled, the more swollen my head became, and I was a little upset, so I had to give up in the end.
After staring at the ceiling for a long time, Xiao Youran was surprised to find that he still didn't feel sleepy at all, and just lay motionless so that his waist was a little wooden, so he reluctantly got up and came to the bookshelf, picked up a random book and sat on the table to look at it.
This is a travelogue called "Yin Kyushu Travel Record", smiled leisurely and turned the first page to find that I didn't know a single word written on it! Although my literary level is not high, I still basically know all the words, what is going on? So I hurriedly turned to the second page, and found that I still couldn't understand a word, and then I turned the whole book over, and took a few more from the shelf, and after reading it, it was the same result.
Xiao Youran was annoyed and embarrassed and moved all the books on the bookshelf down to check them one by one, and he didn't believe that none of them could be understood, but the reality scraped his face like a slap, and when the last page of the last book was closed, he sighed helplessly, and could only look at the books piled up in front of him in a silent daze.
I don't know how many hours have passed, Xiao leisurely in the room or standing or sitting, or lying on his stomach, but he is not sleepy at all, bored as if grass has grown on his buttocks, and when he is pacing back and forth, there is a knock on the door outside the house.
"Hehe, Brother Xiao slept comfortably last night, the hour is not early, how about we set off early?" Yue Daring's somewhat strange laughter came from outside the door.
"Don't hide it from Brother Yue, I may have been a little overtired yesterday, and I actually had insomnia, alas, but fortunately, I have books to read, and I have passed the time. ”
Xiao leisurely sighed and pushed open the door, only to see Yue Daring outside the door refreshed, yesterday's injury had long disappeared, wearing a neat and clean official uniform, looking at him playfully with his arms in his arms.
"Brother Yue's body has recovered, his face is good, hehe, please ......" Xiao Youran arched his hand at him with some embarrassment.
"Don't pretend to be with your brother, can you read the book?" Yue Daring put his arms around his neck, put his hand on his shoulder and patted him, and asked with a wink.
"Uh......" smiled leisurely and suddenly stopped, and his face was a little red.
"Hahaha...... Do the dead still need to sleep, of course they will have insomnia. If you can't read those books, they are all written in Yin, how can you understand them?" Yue boldly let go of him, laughing and leading the way in front.
"Yinwen?Text, is this thing still divided into yin and yang?" Xiao Youran asked in surprise as he followed behind.
"Of course, even all things in heaven and earth are transformed by yin and yang, how can words be an exception?" Yue Daring said as he walked, and after a while, the two of them came to the side hall of yesterday's banquet, and Mrs. Yue had already set up a table of exquisite breakfast and was waiting for it.
"Sister-in-law, it's early, you look good, is that method still effective?" smiled leisurely and looked at Mrs. Yue and greeted.
Perhaps because of the nostalgia for the yang world, people still retain the habit of eating three meals a day and returning late. ”
Mrs. Yue didn't answer his question, she helped him up with a chair and asked him to sit down, took two steps back and glanced at Yue Boldly, and the two stood side by side, and suddenly fell to their knees together, and bowed down to him.
"Flutter...... I...... Ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem......"
The smile that had just picked up the bowl and drank the soup was so shocked by the actions of the couple that a mouthful of soup squirted out directly, and even the nostrils flowed out, choking on tears and coughing incessantly.
"Engong, please accept the worship of my husband and wife!" Yue Daring and his wife said in unison.
"Ahem, ahem...... Brother Yue, Mrs. Sister-in-law, how can this be done! Kill Xiao So, hurry up!" Xiao Youran didn't care about getting dirty, wiped his face with his sleeve, and hurriedly ran over to pull the two of them up.
"No, Brother Xiao, listen to me, yesterday Uchiko practiced the Taoism you taught, not only can he absorb soul energy to nourish his soul body, but also understand the trick of attracting soul qi into his body, and he really condenses a trace of cultivation, if supplemented by the corresponding exercises, Uchiko can try to cultivate!
This kindness...... This...... For my husband and wife, the grace is higher than the sky, but unfortunately there is no way to repay it, so please be sure to accept this worship, otherwise we will be guilty for the rest of our lives!" Yue Daring said as he spoke, but his hand was secretly pushed back a few steps and fell back into the chair.
Under the helpless gaze of Xiao Youran, the couple finally bowed to him three times and bowed nine times, got up and sat down at the table to have breakfast with him. During the banquet, everyone talked and laughed, and there was no yesterday's greetings and strangeness, some were just close and familiar, this kind of comfort and warmth bathed in friendship, so that the smile leisurely seemed to have a long-lost feeling.
