"Return the book?"
Bei Yuzi barely reacted.
And when her reflex arc accepted the information and her stupid head was driven by her nerves to raise her head, the person in front of her had disappeared.
There are just mountains of ancient books.
Bei Yuzi learned a lot from the experience. This time she did not order a book, but rushed out of the bookstore and shouted: "The book thief is here again!!!"
The sound rolled away.
Not long after, several powerful figures arrived in a hurry.
Bei Yuzi told these Zhenwu Pavilion officials about the situation.
The cadres glanced at the ancient books on the table and immediately divided into two groups.
Go all the way to catch the little thief.
The other way around was to stay here and count the books.
The real person looked at the "Missing Catalog" and flipped through the book.
The more he turned around, the weirder his expression became...
Gradually, the weirdness turned into solemnity.
Then, the solemnity turned into shock.
Shock turned to horror again.
He turned the pages of the book faster and faster.
Bei Yuzi breathed a sigh of relief. She finally did something right this time. She saw this real person's expression changing so frequently, and couldn't help but become curious. She went over to take a look and saw that all the books had folders attached. .
Each folder is filled with densely written words.
Bei Yuzi said calmly: "Elder, these are not translations of ancient books, are they?"
The real person said: "I don't know if they are translations, but these words are very precious, and the words and sentences are also quite obscure. They are in line with the writing style of the ancient Taoist scriptures..."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh: "What kind of little thief can write such a thing."
Bei Yuzi said: "Then he is still a very talented little thief?"
The real person said: "It's more than just talent..."
His hand suddenly stopped and landed on a book that did not look like an ancient scroll.
There is only one line written on the cover of the book: To the little Taoist nun in the bookstore.
The real person didn't even look at it, and handed the book over: "This is what the little thief gave to you."
Bei Yuzi took the book and opened it curiously, while muttering: "What could it be?"
This doubt disappeared as she started reading.
She stared intently, then quickly turned the pages.
This is actually an extremely clever method of controlling fire.
Zhenwu Pavilion is famous for its sword-making. With such a method of controlling fire, its status will definitely rise...
Both of them were immersed in their own worlds, reading books without breathing.
I keep seeing those who went to hunt down the little thief come back.
Of course they couldn't catch Xia Ji...
At this time, Xia Ji had already left Zhenwu Pavilion and returned to Jinyufang.
He turned into water and quietly entered the workshop.
Jing Chunzi also kept his promise and did not activate the mountain sealing formation in advance.
Xia Ji did not show up again, but left directly from the underworld transfer station in the courtyard of Master Jingming.
…
…
After returning to Jinghu Study Room.
This place is really empty****.
Xia Ji looked at the bookshelf, grabbed a book, and continued to read and study.
Spring goes, summer solstice comes, and autumn comes.
He was used to practicing in such silence.
After dark, I went to the Tribulation Land to practice and still haven’t given up.
In this year's situation, he has raised his minor realm to another level and entered the fifth minor realm of Dharma Body Realm.
The opening of an additional dharma line increased the power of his dharma body by about 30% based on the original basis.
Winter has arrived again.
The flying snow fell again.
Xia Ji looked at the bronze mirror, and his white hair became more and more obvious.
It had only been thirty-seven years, but he suddenly felt like he was tired of seeing flying snow.
So, after hundreds, thousands, or even ten thousand years, how would you feel when you look at this winter again
at this time…
The howling cold wind penetrated through the cracks in the study door, making ghosts cry and wolf howl, and the candlelight on the table was blown out.
Xia Ji put down the book and stretched out his hand to protect the flickering candle.
Gu Yingchuochao, for a moment, there was some emptiness in my heart.
His last life plus this life together only lasted for more than sixty years, and he didn't know where he came from this loneliness.
He smiled self-deprecatingly, suddenly admiring Su Tian, or even Lu Chan, the ancestor of the Wu family, the Supreme Being...
How do these people who have lived for tens of thousands of years survive
When I was thinking about it,
In the cold winter snow, the sound of a lark suddenly came.
Tweeting tinnitus tactfully.
That's the bird singing a beautiful song,
It makes people feel like spring has arrived.
Xia Ji had experienced thirty-seven winters, but he had never heard the cry of a lark in the snow. When his mind moved, he pushed it casually.
The study door was blown by the wind and moved aside, revealing the dark world outside.
And the sound of lark comes from far and near...
Xia Ji finally saw the lark.
She was carrying a lantern and was wrapped in a snow-white fur coat with a gold belt. The fur collar surrounded her delicate and beautiful face.
"Lark" was standing in front of the door. When he saw the door open, he rushed into the study and hummed a few bird calls across from Xia Ji's coffee table.
The person who came was none other than Lu Miaomiao.
She asked: "Does it look like it?"
Xia Ji felt some inexplicable warmth in his heart, and he smiled and said, "Like."
Lu Miaomiao raised her voice again and imitated the words of a bird: "Uncle, the Lu family is checking the progress. I want to be with you for a long time."
Xia Ji said: "I'm going to be busy this winter."
Lu Miaomiao said with a bitter face: "I will go wherever you go."
"Why are you grimacing?"
Lu Miaomiao said: "Uncle, you are too serious. I am just suffering. You still ask. Are you the only one living on this island?"
When she arrived, she found the building empty.
Xia Ji nodded.
Lu Miaomiao asked: "Can you cook?"
Xia Ji nodded again.
Lu Miaomiao said: "Stop cooking. I'll treat you to a nice meal. Just in time for the Lu family to see the two of us together, let's make a show of marriage to them."
…
…
An hour and a half later.
The two appeared in Juye City.
Lu Miaomiao's strange eyes turned around, holding Xia Ji's left arm with her right hand, walking on the street.
A restaurant appeared in front of them. The restaurant was seven stories high, with lanterns hanging high and guests coming and going in an endless stream. The three words "Tianzhenfang" were written on the central plaque.
Xia Ji said: "Is this here?"
"No~~Yes."
Lu Miaomiao hurriedly pulled Xia Ji and ran forward.
Xia Jidao: "I heard that the food in this restaurant is good."
Lu Miaomiao: "It's a lie! It doesn't taste good! Come on, hurry up... walk over quickly, I can't stand the smell of vulgar oil smoke."
The girl shouted while quickly pulling Xia Ji forward away from the area illuminated by the lanterns of "Tianzhenfang" and walked to a somewhat dark place.
Xia Ji twitched his lips: "You don't have money, do you?"
"How come!" Lu Miaomiao said hurriedly, "Haven't you heard a saying? The wonders and wonders of the world often lie in remote places; and the delicacies and rare dishes in the market often lie in remoteness. "
Xia Ji shook his head very honestly: "I haven't heard the last sentence."
Lu Miaomiao showed a look of disdain and said "Hey~~~",
Then he said: "Uncle, you are still a scholar, so you have never heard of this sentence, huh."
Xia Ji couldn't help but laugh, and he could clearly feel that the girl beside him still didn't blush even if she heard his laughter, and the corners of his lips could not help but curl up even more.
The empty **** in my heart before was actually pushed away a bit.
Lu Miaomiao said: "Last time at Wangjiang Tower, I invited you to drink tea on the top floor. Uncle, do you think this girl is a person who is short of money?"
Xia Ji smiled and said: "Actually that day... Although you turned the pages quickly and pointed with your fingers quickly, I saw..."
Lu Miaomiao rolled her eyes and said confidently: "So what if you see it? Isn't it thirty times more expensive than the tea outside? I'm still rich~~ Let's go, we're almost there."
Xia Jiqi asked: "What exactly are you going to treat me to?"
"Secret." Lu Miaomiao winked, "Anyway, it must be something very, very, very delicious."
Xia Ji's interest was aroused, "Oh? Then I'm really looking forward to it."
His black hair was mixed with white hair, blown by the winter wind and snow.
Flowing behind him, it brings out a somewhat otherworldly temperament.
And the girl holding her arm beside him also looked like an elf.
The two of them were still and moved, showing a strange sense of harmony and warmth.
There are fewer and fewer lanterns on the streets on winter nights, and the light is getting darker.
The two of them moved from light to darkness.
In the dark corner of the alley, a crisp sound of "dong dong dong" suddenly came.
It was an unkempt beggar who looked like he was about to freeze into a roll. He was holding a copper bowl with a gap and shaking his hands.
The copper son jumped up and down in the copper bowl, making a sound.
Lu Miaomiao stopped, took out her arm from Xia Ji's, then took out her small purse, counted twenty copper coins in it and threw it out, "Let's go eat a bowl of noodles."
The beggar didn't even look at it and kept saying "Thank you, thank you" mechanically.
The two passed by.
Xia Ji said: "He thinks you gave him too little."
Lu Miaomiao said: "Nonsense!"
Xia Ji said: "Although his face is dirty, his hair is messy, and his clothes are torn, but they are fake. I can feel that his Qi and blood are flowing like a healthy person, and he is also quite strong. He should be a practitioner." son."
Lu Miaomiao suddenly paused.
He turned around and ran over.
Xia Ji hurriedly pulled her: "What do you want to do?"
"I can't let him cheat me out of my hard-earned money."
Lu Miaomiao broke away from Xia Ji's hand, ran back in a small circle, and then quickly circled back.
The beggar's acupuncture points were tapped by her, and the bowl was already snatched away by her...
Lu Miaomiao counted thirty copper plates, blew off the dust, and put them into her small purse with satisfaction.
Xia Ji said speechlessly: "You actually robbed a beggar of his money?"
Lu Miaomiao said: "I have also been a beggar."
The two walked and chatted and laughed, as if they had completely integrated into this ordinary world.
…
…
Not far away, a figure wrapped in black robe followed.
That figure was sent by the Lu family to check the "marriage progress."
When he saw Lu Miaomiao robbing a beggar's money in front of the Su family's imperial master, this black-robed figure was unbearable to look at, it was so irritating to the eyes...
However, he also heard the undisguised conversation between the two and knew that Lu Miaomiao wanted to invite the emperor's master to have a good meal.
This dark figure was also full of curiosity, because as far as he knew, there was nothing good to eat further down this street.
At least nothing expensive.
Soon, he saw the two people stopped in front of a stall.
There was almost no one in front of the stall. Although the big pot behind the stall was tightly covered, some steam was still coming out of the cracks.
Behind the cauldron, an old couple was standing.
Lu Miaomiao shouted: "Boss, a big bowl of secret mutton noodle soup, and a portion of your secret pickled vegetable wowotou."
The grandmother in the old couple immediately responded: "Okay."
Then he looked at the two of them again and said with a smile: "Little girl, don't be afraid of eating fat. If your husband-in-law really loves you, it would be just right for you to eat fat."
Lu Miaomiao blushed and said, "It's not your husband, he..."
The old woman looked at the two of them curiously.
Lu Miaomiao rolled her eyes and said, "He is my brother."
The old woman showed an "understanding" smile. While smiling, she glanced at the old man who was cutting mutton next to her, and then whispered: "Old man, let me cut more for the couple. Business is not good anyway." .”
The old man also put on a smile, as if he remembered what he and the old woman looked like when they were young, and said, "I know, sorry."
Xia Ji and Lu Miaomiao sat under the snow-covered shed.
Lu Miaomiao leaned over and said, "Let me tell you, the mutton noodle soup here is particularly delicious."
Xia Jixu raised his eyes and said, "Then why did you only order one portion?"
Lu Miaomiao said: "I don't eat much, just add a small bowl."
far away…
The black figure who was watching the two people silently covered his face.
No, Lu Miaomiao, you are simply an embarrassment to my Lu family.
I’m sorry, the really, really delicious thing you’re talking about is half a bowl of mutton noodle soup
soon…
The bottom line of this dark shadow has been ruthlessly challenged again.
The old woman brought a large bowl of mutton soup noodles to the table and gave Lu Miaomiao a small bowl.
From the beginning to the end, the old woman looked at the two of them with a smile, and her eyes seemed to have seen through everything.
Lu Miaomiao's face almost turned red. She grabbed her chopsticks and started forking noodles from the big bowl, and put a large piece of mutton into her bowl.
Xia Ji said speechlessly: "Why did you remove all the meat?"
Lu Miaomiao looked at it and evened it out again: "Is it fair now? I didn't remove all the meat."
Bang! !
Suddenly there was a strange sound in the distance, as if something had fallen.
The black shadow couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't help but twitched and fell to the ground.
Xia Ji asked: "What is the sound?"
Lu Miaomiao said: "Are you an alcoholic? You're eating noodles, you're starving~ Boss, hurry up and bring the wowotou."
She grabbed the small bowl and took a satisfied sip of the hot soup.
Xia Ji also started eating.
Lu Miaomiao's non-stop chatter could be heard on the table.
"Add some pepper."
"Wow~ These pickles are so delicious."
“The mutton tastes really authentic.”
Xia Ji had never had such a dinner.
In the past, we ate delicacies from mountains and seas, but now we can only enjoy the delicious food with just one mouth...
But for some reason, he ate quite warmly.
Because although winter snow is cold and dead rain,
Because, although the heaven and the earth are big, they are so big that they are empty and lonely.
Because, although time is long, people around you will eventually leave.
But at this moment, having such an elf by his side is enough to give this simple meal the most delicious name.
"Ha~~"
Lu Miaomiao breathed a long sigh of relief.
The noodles and wowotou on the table had been swept away by the two of them.
"I'm not lying, am I? It's really, really, really delicious, right?"
Lu Miaomiao issued a soul torture.
The black shadow who was watching from a distance secretly complained in his heart, "It's so delicious. It's simply rude and rude for you to treat the emperor to such a thing. If the emperor thinks it's delicious, then there's a problem."
But soon, the shadow heard Xia Ji's laughing voice.
"tasty."
As soon as the two words were passed, the black shadow suddenly turned to stone, like a frozen ice sculpture, standing in the wind and snow and no longer moving.
At this moment, he had completed his assessment.
Marriage is a very good thing.
