013:
"Senior brother, I'm sorry." Qi Yanshu was not angry because of Zuo Xingping's rudeness, but simply said, "I'm still alive and well."
Jiang Mian held his forehead and gently pulled Master Tian's sleeve. Zuo Xingping also realized that he had said too much and scratched his head.
The atmosphere was awkward for a while, but fortunately the elevator arrived. The three of them entered the elevator and looked at the white cloth on Qi Yanshu's eyes. Zuo Xingping could not suppress his curiosity and asked, "What's wrong with your eyes?"
Jiang Mian raised her ears. She was also a little curious about Qi Yanshu's eyes, but because they were not familiar with each other, she was too embarrassed to ask directly.
Qi Yan's letter was concise and concise: "Accident."
Sensing his coldness, Zuo Xingping said oh and stopped talking.
No one would be too happy to be asked "Are you alive" in a surprised tone in front of his face, as if he was expecting him to die
Jiang Mian coughed and apologized for Master Tian: "Uncle Qi, what my father just said..."
He was interrupted before he finished speaking.
"Uncle Qi? Mianmian, do you know each other?!" - Zuo Xingping.
"Is he your father?" - Qi Yanshu.
Jiang Mian looked at the two of them blankly, wondering why they were so surprised. After a period of silent silence, the elevator stopped.
The three of them walked out of the elevator. Qi Yanshu unlocked the door with his fingerprint and quickly entered the room without saying a word the whole time.
He must be angry.
After returning to the house, Jiang Mian had to teach Master Tian tactfully: "Dad, what you just said to Uncle Qi was so rude."
Tianshi's dad was still wondering why his precious daughter called him Uncle Qi Yanshu, and he looked very familiar with her.
Jiang Mian explained: "He is from the Qi family. The Qi family and the Han family are nominally family friends. According to their seniority, I should call him uncle."
Zuo Xingping's focus shifted again and he sighed: "It turns out that his lay family is so rich, no wonder he was able to impress his uncle and let him make an exception and accept him as his disciple."
He was a bit sour: "I originally wanted to become a disciple of my uncle, but I refused even to the death and said I would not accept a disciple."
Jiang Mian: "..."
Zuo Xingping explained to Jiang Mian his relationship with Qi Yanshu.
The Taoist temple where Master Tianshi's father used to be was called Siqing Temple, but now it has been changed to Lingqing Temple. Qi Yanshu was sent to Lingqing Temple to practice since he was a child, just to help him survive the calamity of life and death at the age of thirty.
Zuo Xingping's master was still alive at that time and asserted that Qi Yanshu would never live to be thirty.
Qi Yanshu's master is Zuo Xingping's uncle, so the two are of the same generation.
Zuo Xingping's impression of Qi Yanshu was that he was sent to a temple to extend his life, but he was destined not to live past thirty. He used to go back to Taoist temple occasionally, and sometimes he would meet Qi Yanshu.
During this period of time, he was busy and did not go back. After counting the time, he thought that this junior brother was gone. Unexpectedly, he was not only alive and well, but also lived in the same community and the same floor as his precious daughter. He couldn't help but be surprised. .
This is consistent with the plot in the book. Qi Yanshu did not live past the age of thirty in the book, but the book did not introduce that Qi Yanshu and Tianshi Dad were from the same sect.
After explaining his relationship with Qi Yanshu, Zuo Xingping thought for a while and said, "Mianmian, you should have less contact with him in the future."
Jiang Mian subconsciously asked, "Why?"
Zuo Xingping didn't know what to say. He wanted to make up a reason, but couldn't make it up for a while. In the end, he simply said honestly: "He is born with an unknown nature, and everyone who is close to him will be conquered by him. When he was a child, he was sent to a Taoist temple. It’s because of his physical weakness, and secondly, it’s due to his destiny, so staying away from his relatives can prevent trouble at home.”
"If you have too much contact with him, it will be bad for you to be influenced by him." Zuo Xingping actually dislikes this way of handling things, but when it comes to the safety of his precious daughter, he still has to be selfish when he should.
Jiang Mian: "..."
The author of the original book must have given all the love to the male and female protagonists, and each of the supporting characters was worse than the last.
"Okay, let's not talk about him anymore." Yu Jiangmian said that Qi Yanshu was just an acquaintance of the neighbor's elders, and she also knew that Master Tian was doing it for her own good. "Dad, you can stay here tonight."
I thought Tianshi Dad would happily agree, but instead he shook his head, not looking at Jiang Mian, and said vaguely: "I took over a job at two o'clock in the morning and I have to leave later."
When the snacks he bought for his baby daughter in the supermarket ran out, he had to earn some money back, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to eat tomorrow.
What kind of work could there be in the middle of the night? Jiang Mian's eyes lit up when he thought of Tianshi's father's identity.
Although she had arranged a small spirit gathering array in the room, there was too little spiritual energy in the air. The function of the spirit gathering array was only to increase the amount of spiritual energy from one drop to a small spoonful per day, which was too little for Jiang Mian.
Since the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is thin, if you want to practice, you have to find another way.
When she came to this world and saw Master Tianshi's father for the first time, she could feel the cold aura on his body. This was another kind of power. As long as she used this power for her own use, wouldn't it be quite good? Is it to absorb spiritual energy to help you practice
And she didn't know what this cold power was. Since Tianshi Dad had come into contact with it, as long as she followed him, she would find a way to find it. Now that the opportunity came, she couldn't miss it.
"Dad, let me go with you."
"Huh?" Tianshi's father was drinking a drink. Hearing this, he squirted out and choked.
Jiang Mian: "..."
"No, no, no." This was the first time Jiang Mian's father rejected her request.
Zuo Xingping shook his head like a rattle, almost shaking off the fake beard on his face: "Mianmian, girls can't stay up late, you just sleep at home, ah."
Zuo Xingping knew exactly what he was going to do, so how could he let his precious daughter follow him and frighten her.
"Dad~" Jiang Mian acted coquettishly, and she silently put her hands behind her back to prevent Master Tianshi from seeing the goosebumps that appeared on her hands.
However, Zuo Xingping could agree to anything, and it was related to the safety of his precious daughter. He shook his head firmly, and was worried that his daughter would be angry and ignore him. He racked his brains and thought: "Next time, okay? I'll take you there next time." .”
Next time, I’ll take an order to rent a house and have a feng shui check, so that I won’t scare my precious daughter.
Jiang Mian lowered his eyelashes and sat silently beside him without speaking.
When Zuo Xingping took a look, his precious daughter's beautiful little face was full of disappointment, and he felt heartbroken. His precious daughter finally made demands of him, but he could not satisfy her.
Heavenly Master's father was at war with heaven and man in his heart, and finally gritted his teeth. Anyway, he was here, and if something unclean came out, he would deal with it before the baby girl saw it, so that he would not scare the baby girl.
With this thought, he quickly came over and said, "Don't be angry, Mianmian, daddy promises you."
"Thank you, dad." Jiang Mian looked up and smiled cutely.
Seeing the smile on his daughter's face again, Zuo Xingping also followed suit, completely unaware that his precious daughter was just acting~
Although he agreed to Jiang Mian, Zuo Xingping still wanted to work harder: "Mianmian, you have to go to class tomorrow..."
Jiang Mian: "There will be no classes in the morning tomorrow, only in the afternoon."
Zuo Xingping secretly hoped that his precious daughter would be sleepy. When Jiang Mian entered the bedroom, he thought that his precious daughter was sleepy and wanted to sleep.
A few minutes later, Jiang Mian came out of the bedroom again. She changed into long clothes and long trousers that were easy to move around, and tied her hair up to get ready to go out.
Zuo Xingping accepted his fate.
At twelve o'clock in the morning, the father and daughter set off.
The place where Zuo Xingping was going to work was a middle school. He was afraid of scaring his precious daughter by speaking too bluntly. What he said to Jiang Mian was: "This school is very poor and can't even afford a cleaner, so please hire me." It’s cheaper for me to do the cleaning.”
Jiang Mian: "..."
Jiang Mian held his forehead and was once again dumbfounded by Tianshi's father's wise words.
Hailing a taxi, Zuo Xingping said to the driver: "Go to the Second Experimental Middle School."
Without Jiang Mian, he would either walk to the middle school or ride a shared bicycle. In short, it would be impossible to pay for a taxi!
Forty minutes later, they arrived at their destination. Zuo Xingping was about to pick up the yellow cloth bag and give the fare to the bus. Jiang Mian had already pulled him out of the car. Zuo Xingping looked confused: "Mianmian, I haven't given the money yet."
Jiang Mian shook her phone: "I paid with my phone."
She has discovered another characteristic of Zuo Xingping. Master Tian doesn't use modern communication tools very much. He talks in cash - the mobile phone is the oldest type of push-button mobile phone that can only answer calls and send messages.
The school was far away from the urban area, and it was early in the morning. The surroundings were very quiet, and the night wind was blowing, which made it feel a bit eerie. Zuo Xingping asked hurriedly: "Mianmian, are you cold?"
Jiang Mian shook her head. She was sizing up this middle school. Although she hadn't entered yet, she could already feel the cold power that seemed to be there. She was right to follow Tianshi's father here!
Jiang Mian was a little excited.
"Why is it closed?" Zuo Xingping looked at the closed iron gate of the school with a black line on his face. Then he looked at the security room next to him. It was pitch black and there was no one around.
"Dad, who asked you to do cleaning work?"
"headmaster."
"Then you call the principal and ask him to open the door."
Zuo Xingping came to his senses, rummaged around inside his robe, and finally took out a button cell phone. After pressing it for a while, it didn't light up. He shook the cell phone and said, "It seems the battery is out of power."
Jiang Mian: "..."
If you expect Master Tianshi to remember the principal’s phone number, that’s not as good as—
"Dad, let's climb over the wall."
Before Zuo Xingping could react, he saw his precious daughter roll up her sleeves and quickly move up the big iron door.
There is an iron tip on the top of the big iron door to prevent someone from climbing over the door. Zuo Xingping couldn't think about when his precious daughter would climb over the wall so well. His heart hung in the air: "Be careful, don't fall, slow down, slow down. .”
It wasn't until Jiang Mian landed safely that Zuo Xingping breathed a sigh of relief. He wanted to say something. Jiang Mian walked straight to the security room. When he saw the door of the security room opened, he said to Tianshi Dad: "Dad, wait a moment, I'll go take a look." Can you please open the door?"
After a while, Jiang Mian came out with a bunch of keys. After trying each key, the door opened and Tianshi Dad was successfully let in.
Zuo Xingping walked in dizzy.
"Who are you?!" The father and daughter had just taken a few steps when a middle-aged man who looked like a security guard hurried over.
He was the school security guard, but he just went to the toilet, and when he came back, there were two more people at the door.
Thinking of the recent rumors in the school, the security guard felt like a thunder drum in his heart. He was relieved when he saw the shadows of the two people falling on the ground.
There is a shadow, it is a person.
Seeing that the security chief was tall and powerful, Zuo Xingping subconsciously took two steps forward and protected Jiang Mian behind him: "I am the cleaner invited by your Principal Liu."
The security guard reacted immediately. He received instructions that a Taoist priest would come in the early morning. The reason why he stayed here was to wait for him to come.
He remembered that the door was locked, but this Taoist priest came in directly. He seemed to be a powerful person. The security guard's expression became much more respectful: "Master, please follow me."
At this time, all the students were asleep, and the campus was quiet, except for the dim light reflected by the street lights.
"Mianmian." Zuo Xingping held his precious daughter's hand, hesitated, and said, "Are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid." Jiang Mianxiao's eyebrows arched.
Zuo Xingping couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw that his precious daughter was really not afraid.
Not long after, the security guard led them to a teaching building. The lights in the teaching building were turned on. He said, "Master, this is right here. I won't go in."
After saying that, the security guard walked back in a hurry. Looking at the burning appearance, it seemed as if if he ran slower, something would jump out of the teaching building and swallow him up in one bite.
Jiang Mian: "..."
The father and daughter entered the teaching building. Zuo Xingping was still thinking about whether to go to the men's room to get a mop and show off when he suddenly heard Jiang Mian say: "Dad, what is that over there? It seems to be a person."
Jiang Mian pointed to the corridor on the right. Zuo Xingping followed her finger and looked there. It was empty.
Did my daughter see something she shouldn't have seen
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Zuo Xingping suddenly smelled a scent, and then Zuo Xingping lost consciousness.
Jiang Mian helped Tianshi's father, who had fallen asleep, into a classroom and asked him to lie down on his seat.
Although she has not made any progress in her cultivation during this period, and cannot make elixirs, formations, talismans, etc., she can still refine some incense.
What she just smelled for Tianshi Dad was a very common incense in the world of immortality. After smelling it, she would fall asleep for a quarter of an hour.
She originally refined it for self-protection, but she didn't expect that she would use it on Master Tian the first time.
Jiang Mian could already feel the cold force on the third floor.
After thinking about it, she took two talismans from Tianshi Dad's pocket, took two steps and then returned, holding Tianshi Dad's peach wood sword in her hand.
"Dad, have a good sleep. I'll help you with your cleaning tonight."
After saying that, Jiang Mian walked briskly up to the third floor.
There, another kind of spiritual energy was waving to her with great skill~
