In fact, he wanted to say that day that if it wasn't snowing, the stars in Beifu City were worth seeing, and they were different from the stars in the desert of the Western Regions. Perhaps because of the high terrain and the extremely cold weather, the stars in Beifu City are extraordinarily bright and resplendent. When standing on the top of the mountain, I can feel the stars twinkling by my side. Even if you are not a practitioner of the Tao, and you don’t want to understand the Tao in detail, you should visit such a beautiful scenery in your lifetime.
"When did you arrive in Beifu City?"
"I arrived earlier than you. I heard that you went to Tianji Mountain on the way?"
Li Fulin nodded slowly.
"Why didn't you stay there for a while longer? Is there any clue about the formation?"
Originally, he wanted to stay for a few more days, but he didn't expect the incident of Huang Wan to happen. It's difficult to mention this matter to others because of the face of Hu Zhenren and Tianji Mountain, but Li Fulin has nothing to say to Ji Zheng.
"Tianji Mountain is not as good as before. There are more and more mediocre people, good and evil are mixed, and cronyism is also practiced in the sect. Seniority and relationship are everywhere."
The north wind howled outside the window, and the sound of the wind was reminiscent of the wind in the Lost City of Black Sand a long time ago.
"The last time I saw you, I was in a hurry and didn't have time to ask, how have you lived in the Lost City all these years? At that time, there were people trapped in the Lost City together. Are they... still alive?"
There was a sneering smile on Ji Zheng's lips: "Did you not come in time or didn't dare to ask?"
I'm afraid that after asking about the bad news, there will be no hope. If I don't ask, it seems that there is still a glimmer of life.
Li Fulin was blocked by her and had nothing to say.
It has been like this since before, Ji Zheng has never been polite when speaking, and she will stick where it hurts the most. Li Fulin thought about it later, half of her unpopularity was due to the fact that she was born in the Western Regions, and the other half was due to her being too straightforward.
"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Ji Zheng smiled: "The lie is that I didn't see anyone else in the seal of the maze, so I don't know their life or death."
Now that the lie is being told, Li Fulin probably knows what will happen to the truth.
"Do you still want to hear the truth?"
This question...
Li Fulin had no temper with her: "Say it."
Ji Zheng turned around: "After being trapped, I didn't go all the way with the others. They were looking for a way out, and I wanted to find out what happened to the Lost City, so we separated at that time."
Li Fulin was not surprised at all.
Ji Zheng's mouth does not know how many people have been offended, and her way of attacking at the slightest disagreement is really... Even those who have been saved by her will not appreciate her kindness. It's the shout of a demon girl. Even if they were trapped together, it would be impossible for them to coexist peacefully with Ji Zheng.
Ji Zheng went on to say: "I later found the middle of the lost city. It is strange that the stone pillars, altars, and those regulations there are not like those in the Western Regions, but they are also different from those in the Central Plains. The illusion there is particularly powerful. I couldn’t get rid of the illusion. I vaguely saw someone bypassing the low wall next to the altar. Judging by the attire, it should be two of your classmates, a man and a woman. But at that time, I couldn’t tell the truth from the fake. I was deceived in the illusion. Later, I was trapped by the altar. Decades of ignorance seemed to pass in the blink of an eye. When the maze appeared and I came out, I saw the bones of those people on the road , There are all kinds of ways to die. Some of them died trapped by demons in the illusion, and some died of killing each other. I checked them one by one, and your two classmates are not among them."
Li Fulin had already given up hope, but when he heard this, his eyes lit up.
"Maybe they've escaped, or they may have died somewhere I couldn't find."
Ji Zheng's words were straightforward, but Li Fulin was still willing to think in a better direction.
At that time, the two fellow disciples who were trapped in Shacheng were not the disciples of the same master, but the disciples of the second master uncle.
It would be best if they could survive, so that the sect would not be the only one alive in the world.
Ji Zheng gave him a cold look: "After so many years, you are still so naive. If they are really alive, how come there is no news at all? How big was your Xianyang Jianmen at that time, but so many There has been no sound in the past few years, and Xianyang Jianmen is already extinct."
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not dead yet." Li Fulin didn't care about her sarcasm at all: "Maybe they don't want to go back like me, because they don't want to insult the reputation of the teacher and don't bring up the past."
Xiaodong came to deliver tea.
This opportunity came from him and Jiang Fanmo.
Jiang Fan didn't agree at first, but couldn't stand Xiaodong's entanglement, so he reluctantly nodded.
The reason why he didn't let Xiaodong come over to deliver the tea was because he was afraid that his younger brother would be rude in front of the guests.
It's not that Jiang Fan is boasting, the younger brother has never made any mistakes in terms of etiquette. In the past, when guests came to the mountain, the younger brother also helped to serve tea and water.
The reason why Jiang Fan disagreed was because he was afraid that his junior brother would be bullied...
At first glance, Ji Zhenren was not easy to provoke, and he was not soft-spoken. What if my junior brother was frightened by her, or reprimanded, or suffered some disadvantage? They can't do anything to Master Ji. Well, even if they don't aim at Master, just look at Ji Zhenren's aura, they have no ability to do anything to him.
And the younger brother is very thoughtful, if you really have sadness in your heart, how much effort will it take to relieve and comfort him
But the little junior was extremely curious, and he definitely wanted to bring tea over to have a look at Ji Zhenren. Jiang Fan thought, just giving tea should not be too risky, and besides, there is still a master, and he will never see his apprentice suffer. .
When Xiaodong came to deliver tea, Jiang Fan turned his head to discuss with Mo Chen: "Brother, look, do you want to tidy up another yard?"
They had no intention of entertaining guests at first, so they simply cleaned these few places, enough to live in. Eldest brother and Xiaodong live in a small courtyard, Jiang Fan lives next door to them, Linglong lives alone with a girl. The disciples of the outer sect live in two places, and the master lives in one, plus the dining hall where guests can meet and eat, it sounds like a lot, but in fact these places are next to each other, so you don’t need to speak loudly if you have anything to do. Shout, and all the people who live in the front, the rear, the left, and the left hear it.
But Master seems to have more contacts in Beifu City. There have already been two guests today.
I don't know if this real Ji has a place to stay in Beifu City? As a single woman, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient, maybe the master will keep someone to stay.
Then don't we have to clean up a guest room and prepare for it.
Even if Ji Zhenren can't stay today, it's not guaranteed that Zhang Zhenren will come tomorrow. A lot of monks from outside have gathered in Beifu City these days, and there may be some old friends of Master here, and Master may invite people to stay here.
Mo Chen nodded: "Then clean it up quickly."
Jiang Fan looked worriedly at the front yard, although he couldn't see anything standing here.
The junior brother went to deliver tea, and it was supposed to be back. It won't be long before the tea is served, and you can come out after you go in and put it down.
Of course, this means no surprises.
If you want to salute and talk to Ji Zhenren again, it will take more time.
I hope the junior brother can please Ji Zhenren.
... But it is estimated to be difficult.
Even seeing his master Ji Zhenzhen with a cold face, he doesn't expect others to have such a big face.
Jiang Fan was right. When Xiaodong brought tea in, Ji Zheng did ask, "Is this your apprentice too?"
Li Fulin asked Xiaodong to come over to see him.
Ji Zheng didn't look coldly at Xiaodong, but even waved to him: "Stand over here."
Xiaodong stood forward.
He was also a little apprehensive about this real Ji.
Can't tell why.
It's not that he hasn't seen people with great style, and he has seen a lot of cold faces, but Ji Zhenren... the coldness in Ji Zhenren's body seems to come from his bones, and it seems that he will be frozen if he gets closer.
"Well, the aptitude is average, and the disposition looks good."
Li Fulin looked at her with some surprise: "It's rare to hear you praise someone."
Back then, the arrogance of the kite was almost limitless. The senior was said by her to be deceitful, stealing his name and putting on a show, and none of her peers commanded her respect.
Ji Zheng didn't bother to talk to him.
Xiaodong is only a half-grown child, a junior, no matter how angry she is, she won't find fault with her juniors.
As soon as Xiaodong came out, Jiang Fan quickly pulled him aside and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay just now?"
Xiaodong quickly shook his head.
"Then why did you stay in there for so long?"
"It's just that Master and Ji Zhenren asked a few words."
Jiang Fan was relieved now. I want to ask my junior brother in detail, what do master and Ji Zhenren look like? Is the atmosphere harmonious or rigid
But thinking about how young the younger brother is, he doesn't understand these complicated things. Especially about matters between men and women, he didn't understand so much, and it was useless to ask him to feel embarrassed.
"Does Master have any other orders? Do you want to prepare some food and drink? Will Ji Zhenren stay?"
Xiaodong couldn't answer these questions: "Master has no other orders."
Jiang Fan was a little distressed.
Master didn't give any instructions, so how could he prepare for it? If it really doesn't work, if Ji Zhenren doesn't come out in another two quarters of an hour, then he will go in and ask
Mo Chen's questions were more detailed than Jiang Fan's, so Xiaodong repeated what Ji Zhenren said to the elder brother in detail.
Fortunately, Zhenren Ji didn't say a few words, but Xiaodong still remembered them clearly.
"Ji Zhenren's aptitude is average, and my disposition is not bad. Well, he also said that Master should teach me more carefully. In addition, Ji Zhenren also told Master about Zhenren Hu and asked him if he would come to Beifu City."
That's all Xiaodong heard, but when he came out, Master didn't answer.
Xiaodong was also curious: "Eldest brother, Master Hu and the others are also coming to Beifu City? We didn't hear about it when we were in Tianji Mountain."
"It will come, but it may not be the people from Banshan Hall. The change of owner in Beifu City is a big event, and it may be the head's cronies."
Xiaodong didn't look forward to it immediately.
Except for Banshantang, the people in Tianji Mountain don't look like a good person to Xiaodong. (to be continued)
