Yu Qishu pierced her fingertips, and a drop of red blood mixed into the lamp oil. Qian Yuzhi thought about it for a while, still a little worried, and divided the mixed-race lamp oil into three parts. Instead of lighting one lamp, it turned into three lamps.
"One is in my study, one is in my warehouse, and the other is in my bedroom. This way, no matter where or when I am, I can see that your kid's life is still alive."
After hearing the first half of the sentence, Yu Qishu was quite moved, and after listening to the second half, she cleared her mind and pouted slightly: "I hope these things will never be used. I will save a dog's life and give you peach blossoms for the rest of my life."
Qian Yuzhi laughed happily, took the storage bag full of peach branches, and settled the payment: "These are not enough to sell, I am going to increase the price, I will give more next time, we can all make more money."
Yu Qishu quickly waved his hand: "More? No way! When Brother Meng comes back, he sees that I have cut down the bald peach forest, so he has to scold me..." He lowered his voice, "Ah, speaking of Brother Meng, Brother Meng is still in the secret realm. Here, my senior brother has retreated again. I am the only one left in Changchun Peak."
He felt that Meng Xueli was highly skilled, and other players in the secret realm were not considered opponents, but he remembered that when Meng Xueli taught him on the first day, he had explained that guns are easy to dodge, secret arrows are difficult to guard, and there is no master who is truly invincible. Qian Yuzhi just guessed that the secret realm might change, and Yu Qishu couldn't help but feel a little worried.
In the cold mountain in spring, the wild flowers at the foot of the mountain are in full bloom and colorful, which contrast with the blue sky and the snow-capped mountains. At a glance, the scenery is magnificent and gorgeous.
Yu Qishu was indifferent to appreciate the scenery, and was absent-minded along the way.
The new disciples of Lunfa Tang had finished their class, and they gathered together to play, picking flowers, folding straw and weaving garlands. There were bursts of childish and cheerful laughter from the crowd.
The younger disciple greeted him: "Hello, Senior Brother Yu. Hey, why is it Senior Brother Yu again? It wasn't..."
Yu Qishu felt inexplicable and patted their heads: "Silly."
Approaching the Changchun Peak Floating Suspension Bridge, Yu Qishu saw a figure walking on the bridge from a distance, whose back was similar to his own.
The master is traveling far away, and the brother is retreating, who will walk on this bridge
He quickly caught up with the man, and next to the stone tablet engraved with the word "Changchun", he patted the other person's shoulder: "Hey! I said you..."
The man turned back suddenly, Yu Qishu's breathing stopped.
He met a face that was exactly the same as his own.
"Ah—" Yu Qishu's heart almost jumped out of her throat.
"Don't shout, don't shout! Trouble is dead!" Que Xianming wiped his face, more broken than him: "Do it again? Don't be so unlucky!"
Yu Qishu closed her voice with a pale face, sensing that the opponent's realm was unfathomable, she pressed one hand to the hilt of the sword at her waist, her back was sweating coldly, and she barely calmed down: "Who are you?"
"I'm Meng Xueli's friend, what about others? Oh, if you have something to say, don't draw your sword, it's useless anyway, I can break it with one hand..."
While speaking, Que Xianming's whole body crackled, stretched out at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his facial features gradually changed, revealing his original demonic appearance.
"Meng Xueli's friend? What kind of friend?" What kind of sorcery, human or ghost
Yu Qishu thought that fortunately, she kept the soul lamp. She would definitely not be able to beat her this time. Before I die in battle, shopkeeper Qian will come to save me, right
He was thinking wildly when suddenly he heard a low voice in front of him: "Senior, why are you?" It turned out that the little Daotong heard the movement and ran quickly.
Yu Qishu: "Do you guys recognize him? Is he really Brother Meng's friend?"
Xiaohuai hurriedly pulled him away and whispered, "I've seen this senior before. The real person Ji Xiao died that day, and everyone else was worshipping in the ancestral hall. He took the initiative to visit Changchun Peak and comfort the elder. Are you scared? The senior pretended to be me last time to make Elder Meng happy, and I was also taken aback..."
Que Xianming was stunned when he heard the words. He never thought that the way Meng Xueli dealt with last time would actually help him by accident this time.
Yu Qishu pinched Daotong's face: "You can't be fake too, are you his accomplice?"
Xiao Huai pursed her lips and stared at him tearfully: "Brother Yu Si!"
Yu Qi opened her hands loosely: "It seems to be true." She was still so timid, she would cry when she was scared.
He turned to Que Xianming: "I'm sorry."
Que Xianming touched his nose: "Cough, I came to see Meng Xueli. I have something to discuss with him, which is very important. Is he not here?"
Xiaohuai wondered: "Elder Meng went to the secret realm of the vast sea, don't you know?" The secret realm of the vast sea is a grand event in the cultivation world, and Meng Xueli is also very famous. Everyone knows that Meng Xueli will participate in this competition.
Que Xianming patted his forehead in annoyance: "I forgot, why did it happen at this time!"
He hurried from the demon world, and before he could sort out his thoughts, he wanted to sneak into Changchun Peak to find Meng Xueli.
At the foot of the mountain, I heard the young disciples of Lunfa Hall talking, saying that Meng Xueli's apprentice Yu Qishu had played Jianping for several consecutive victories, which was very beautiful. He happened to see Yu Qishu going down the mountain, and the younger disciples pestered him to ask questions. When Yu Qishu was far away, Que Xianming turned into Yu Qishu and went back to tease the younger disciples. Who knew that he would forget the time and run into the real Yu Qishu when he walked to Changchun Peak.
Seeing Que Xianming's distressed expression, Daotong asked worriedly, "Is Elder Meng in danger?"
Que Xianming waved his hand smartly: "No! I'm going to find him, goodbye by fate."
Yu Qishu felt that this person was very strange: "Others are in the secret realm of the vast sea, and you can't enter without the jade pass."
"I have my way!"
Que Xianming jumped down, and the floating suspension bridge shook slightly.
Yu Qishu looked down and saw the vast sea of clouds, and no one could be seen.
…
The secret realm of Hanhai is vast, Meng Xueli is picking up his apprentices and enjoying the fun of flying.
He thought, "Times EMI" is really good. It can fly more nimble than a cloud boat, it can be fast or slow, and it can fly more steadily than a peacock, and it won't make you feel dizzy or nauseous.
The atmosphere was relaxed, the two chatted without a word, and flew over the mountains and rivers.
"What's over there?"
"The central city you want to go to." Ji Xiao replied.
Meng Xueli: "It looks so small. I don't think so."
Ji Xiao smiled and said, "There is a city with a population of one million in the world. I'll show you around next time."
"Well." Meng Xueli nodded and shook his head, "Huh? I should be the one to lead you."
The central city of the secret realm is not a city with a gate and a moat.
It is a group of long-abandoned palaces on the open plain between mountains and rivers.
This place was originally a space debris that wandered outside the Three Realms. It was thrown into the vast sea by the real person Ji Xiao, and it was called "the secret realm of the vast sea". Some people speculate that it should have been an ancient cave mansion.
At the later stage of the competition, the remaining contestants were all ambitious and gathered in the central area one after another. Everyone wanted to meet more people and get higher scores before the secret realm was closed.
The underground of the central city is the underground palace where the mirages inhabit. The upper city and the lower palace belong to the original secret realm, but the mirage is a latecomer. It is a guardian beast who guards the secret realm and creates mirages under the order of the real person Jixiao.
Wujin fell to the west, the sky was getting dark, Ji Xiao asked, "Did you land?"
Meng Xueli: "Central City is so small, and it doesn't look like anyone now..." He pointed out, "Do you know what is that glowing blue light over there? It's pretty."
Under the semi-dark sky, the ground scenery could not be seen clearly, only a little blue fluorescent light flickered in the northeast direction, which was very eye-catching.
Ji Xiao: "It's the light of phosphorite. Someone should be digging for rare ores in the ground."
Meng Xueli thought for a while, someone has treasures, that's enough.
"Okay, let's fly there! It doesn't look far from the central city."
Ji Xiao thought to himself, if you look in the sky, of course it's not far away. Forget it, what you say is what it is.
…
Under the orange-red sunset, a pool of pool water was glowing with bright green color, radiant and radiant.
It is a well-known fact that the most remote northeast side of the secret realm is near Bishuitan.
But it is not the most valuable spirit stone vein ore, it is Phosphorite ore, a basic material for refining. Moreover, the location of the mines is scattered and difficult to find. The elite disciples of the sect sect thought it was low in points and useless, and disdained to waste time.
Some small sect disciples who did not intend to snatch the jade talisman and came to the secret realm not to compete for the ranking, but just wanted to make money, formed a mining team. If you are lucky enough, you can make a lot of money without encountering or avoiding a strong enemy.
A mining team needs at least three people, a talisman master to survey the terrain, bury a blasting talisman to blast the underground passage, a refiner to identify the grade and purity of the ore, and a martial artist to protect the two people who lack combat power. convoy.
At this time, not far from Bishuitan, the phosphorous ore was piled up like a hill, and in the dim sky, it exuded a blue brilliance, as Meng Xueli could see from a high altitude.
The two were busy around the hill, desperately putting the ore back into the new storage bag. Due to the lack of space in the storage bag, it had to be packaged separately.
Obviously, this team was unlucky. Their talisman master accidentally missed a blasting talisman, blowing up the storage bag full of ore. When Wu Xiu went to the rescue, he was a step late, and he was injured in one arm and one leg.
Form Master shouted: "Hurry up, hurry up! You can't be so conspicuous, something will happen!"
The refiner was furious: "Are you still urging? Who is to blame for this?"
When the two were arguing, a hurricane rolled up out of thin air, and the two black cloaks fell from the sky.
Instead of jumping from a tree or from a nearby hillside, it really broke through the clouds and fell from the sky.
"boom-"
A bottomless crater was smashed into the ground, and smoke and dust were everywhere.
The mining team ran away screaming.
The sword-wielding Wu Xiu jumped on one leg: "Ah!"
Form Master: "I knew it was going to end!"
Refiner: "It's all your fault!"
In the deep pit, Ji Xiao put away "Bai Yin Daidai" and returned it to Meng Xueli. Meng Xueli disassembled the "Bamboo Dragonfly" into two swords, giving one to his apprentice and holding the other in his hand.
He brushed off his sleeves, touched the storage bag, and took out two brand-new trophies: "Let's put on black cloaks to cover our faces." Most people in the secret realm dress like this. If they encounter Jingdi in the future, they are not afraid of being recognized. out of entanglement.
When they jumped out of the deep pit, they landed right in front of the three of them. The mining team saw two black cloaks holding swords in their hands, menacingly. If you fall from the sky, you can't die, and you can't blow up. It's over.
"Hero, spare your life!" The talisman master preempted the attack and spoke very fast: "My name is Wang Xiaohua, I am twenty-eight years old, and I usually make hexagrams for talismans. There is no need to worry about small sects outside Beihai. Earn some money to spend. Go to the teleportation array today, do you think it's better to let it go?"
Meng Xueli: "… Huh?"
He didn't ask a word, the other party finished first, and it rhymed.
He transmitted a voice and asked the eldest apprentice, "What's the situation?"
Ji Xiao briefly explained the mines and mining teams in the secret realm.
Meng Xueli thought for a moment: "You have given me new ideas... Are there any other mining teams around?"
The Array Master was puzzled and answered honestly: "There should be, but according to the established rules, we will each dig our own and will not attack each other."
Meng Xueli understood after thinking about it, they were all poor and bitter, why did they peck each other
"Don't be afraid, we are Hanshan Jianxiu. His surname is Xiao, my surname is Meng." Meng Xueli smiled kindly, "I don't want your life, if you have anything of value, pay us 30% as protection fee. We will escort us. When you arrive at the teleportation formation, before entering the formation, just hand over the jade talisman to us, how about a safe and comfortable journey?"
The artifact refiner was so dazed that he made a silly voice: "Huh?"
Form Master: "... only 30%?"
The three of the mining team looked at each other in dismay. Is there such a good thing? Do Dapai do charity? But the other party really doesn't need to lie to them, it is more efficient to kill and loot directly.
Meng Xueli: "Yes, let's discuss it. Hanshan Jianxiu, escort me, the old man will not be deceived."
With his apprentice, it is not convenient for him to pretend to be a fat sheep to rob. First, he wanted to make a good impression on the child, and secondly, he couldn't imagine Xiao Tingyun shouting 'Elder be careful' and 'Protect the elder'. Third, the way he played just now was really not like a fat sheep, but like a devil.
It's better to accompany this mining team first, and if you encounter other teams, you will be included. Collect the protection fee and send it to the teleportation array.
After a while, Master Formation Fu, as the team representative, took two steps forward and bowed slightly: "In that case, thank you Brother Meng and Brother Xiao."
Meng Xueli was full of energy: "Let's go."
The magician pointed to the moon on the horizon: "This, it's too late. We dug for a day, and plan to rest for a night before leaving tomorrow."
Meng Xueli looked at Ji Xiao: "Okay." We also flew for a day, and the apprentice might be tired.
Ji Xiao smiled faintly from beginning to end, without any comments, just tossing Meng Xueli.
As night fell, the pool water reflected the moonlight. Ji Xiao and Meng Xueli sat on the side of Shitan, and the other three sat on the opposite side.
The mining team brought their own pots and pans, so they fished and made a fire, cooked a pot of fish soup, and called two fellow Taoists who helped others and did charity to come and drink it.
Meng Xueli: "Thank you, no need, I'm a vegetarian."
Ji Xiao was peeling pine nuts for Meng Xueli, putting the peeled ones in one pile and the unpeeled ones in another.
Meng Xueli raised his chin slightly and motioned him to look at the other side: "What do you think they were talking about?" The three of them were not very well-cultivated, they felt confused, but they were quite happy.
Ji Xiao smiled: "If you want to listen, just go."
Meng Xueli ran over, paid out of his own pocket, handed everyone a handful of pine nuts, and joined the chat smoothly. No matter what anyone said, they nodded in agreement.
The three of them discovered that the elite disciple of the sect was actually unassuming, and gradually relaxed, and after a few bowls of hot soup, they began to call him brothers and sisters.
The fish soup was fragrant, and the four of them sat around the fire. The mining team opened a jar of wine and saw that Meng Xueli didn't drink it, nor did he persuade him much. The three of them drank happily. At first, we talked about how much money can be made by selling the ore to the refiner, or to "Hengtong Juyuan". Later, the topic went away.
The talisman master was drinking: "I heard that this time in the secret realm, Meng Xueli, the Taoist companion of the sword master, is also here?"
Meng Xueli was wrapped in a cloak and pricked up his ears.
Refiner: "Yes, Hanshan should send someone to protect him. Brother Meng was born in Hanshan, do you know him?"
Meng Xueli became very playful, thinking that I want to see what you guys have to say, and then suddenly revealing his identity, you will be scared to crawl all over the floor.
So he shook his head: "Hanshan is very big, I don't know it."
Form Master: "Although I don't know him, I've heard a lot about him."
Wu Xiu held the bowl with one hand and urged, "Speak quickly."
"He's very good-looking."
Meng Xueli nodded.
"He bathes in the spring water of Nanling Temple every day, and ordinary clothes can scratch his smooth skin."
Meng Xueli was stunned, but saw that everyone else was listening with relish.
"The real person Ji Xiao killed the last nine-tailed fox in the world, made him a white fox fur, put on silver light and stretched three feet long on the ground."
Wu Xiu retorted: "Impossible."
Meng Xueli thought that there was someone who understood.
But he heard the man say, "It's three feet long, so it's inconvenient to walk."
"Does he need to walk? Wherever he wants to go, real person Ji Xiao is holding him, and his feet never touch the ground. Do you think he is the same as you?"
The three suddenly realized: "So it is! It should be so!"
Meng Xueli collapsed: "What nonsense! It's all made up!"
The storyteller was called out by him, and he asked him, "How do you know it was made up?"
Meng Xueli shouted, "Because I am Meng Xueli!"
The atmosphere was silent for a while, and the talisman master patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, wake up, don't dream."
The master refiner shouted: "Whoever comes to the basin of water, wake him up!"
The three burst into laughter.
Meng Xueli stood up, walked away angrily, walked over to his apprentice and sat down.
"Why, stop chatting with everyone?" Ji Xiao actually heard it clearly, thought it was interesting, and deliberately teased him.
Meng Xueli looked at his expression, and didn't speak until Ji Xiao stopped smiling, "Have you heard?"
Ji Xiao nodded.
Meng Xueli said seriously: "I don't want you to misunderstand the real person Ji Xiao. He is not what you heard. I will tell you the truth, and you have the right to know about it."
Ji Xiao laughed again.
Listening to the fiery and straightforward expression of love by the little Daoist every day, even a piece of ice will melt. Maybe this is human love.
He suddenly asked, "Do you like Ji Xiao?"
Meng Xueli was stunned. When Que Xianming came to Hanshan to save him and asked him if he had a crush on Ji Xiao, he jumped up and retorted, "You fart!"
He could lie at this time, but suddenly he didn't know how to answer this question, perhaps because Xiao Tingyun asked too seriously and his eyes were too sincere.
Looking at Xiao Tingyun's bright eyes, his heart beat faster, feeling that something was wrong with him. Because I seem to really have a crush on Ji Xiao.
If Ji Xiao was alive, would he like him and respond to him? Won't. As Ji Xiao's senior brother Hu Si said, this is impossible.
Meng Xueli suddenly understood, it turned out that he knew in his heart that it was impossible, so he only dared to make up lies about love based on Ji Xiao's absence.
"I don't like it. He doesn't like me, and I don't like him either." Meng Xueli's voice was calm: "I've told a lie 10,000 times, and I believe it myself. In fact, the real person Ji Xiao and I are fake Taoist companions in name only, what? Sincerity and sincerity are all lies, they do not exist.”
Meng Xueli said to himself and his apprentice: "Real Ji Xiao saved my life, I just want to repay his kindness. This is the truth I want to tell you."
Like a basin of cold water pouring fire stars, Ji Xiao's heart is slightly sour, but his heart is inexplicably soft:
"It's okay. Although he saved you, he didn't ask you to repay. You don't have to be obsessed with it."
Meng Xueli shook his head, only slightly comforted by his apprentice's gentle tone.
Ji Xiao added: "If you don't like it, forget it. You don't owe Ji Xiao anything at all. You can choose again. But Jing Di is not a good match..."
The reason why he let Jing Di finish his words was also to investigate the other side. The conclusion is that the young man's temperament has not yet been settled, he is frivolous and affectionate, and has no sense of proportion.
Ji Xiao thought about it and said seriously: "I'm better than him. You can choose me."
