Yu Qiu was taken aback by the stall owner's words.
A handsome young man with the sword he bought the other day still hanging on his waist, this is Xiao Chunmian no matter how you look at it. Why did Ke Xiaochunmian order a pen? Yu Qiu didn't want to be affectionate, but after thinking about it, he really couldn't find any other reason besides giving it to himself.
Is it as a gift for the sword
Really, why return the gift, what is the relationship between him and Xiao Chunmian, it should be given a sword, so why do you think so clearly? Yu Qiu kept slandering her in her heart, but she couldn't help but grinned.
He quickly pinched his face to calm his expression, suppressed the joy in his heart, and left the booth with a straight face.
But having said that, why did Xiao Chunmian have Lingshi to order a pen
Could it be that he did something dangerous? Yu Qiu went back to the house with this question in mind, only to find that Xiao Chunmian was not there again. The other party has been leaving so early and returning late recently, and Yu Qiu never asked much before, but now he couldn't help feeling a little worried.
Yu Qiu quickly returned to the market and found Zhang Donggua who had been watching the market.
When Yu Qiu came to inquire about things, Zhang Donggua naturally wouldn't hide anything, "You mean fellow Taoist, right? I happened to see him just now, and I walked north from here, probably to Fangbei Mountain."
Yu Qiu thanked her, and hurriedly walked all the way north, and sure enough, she saw Xiao Chunmian at the entrance of Fangbei Mountain. There were several other people present, three men and one woman, who were talking with Xiao Chunmian, and they looked quite familiar.
It seems that what Yu Qiu didn't take into account, Xiao Chunmian has already made new friends.
Yu Qiu should have been happy for him.
But in fact, Yu Qiu felt a little sour in his heart.
He walked forward sourly, and the oldest man among them saw him first, and then the others turned around.
"Xiaoqiu?" Xiao Chunmian asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Yu Qiu raised his eyebrows, "I still want to ask why you are here."
"I made an appointment with these fellow Taoists to come to Fangbei Mountain to hunt together." Xiao Chunmian explained with a smile, then turned sideways to let out the people behind him, and introduced them to Yu Qiu one by one.
Among the four people, one is at the fifth level of Qi refining, and the third is at the third level of Qi refining. The oldest one is the master with three apprentices. Yu Qiu "admired him for a long time" one by one, but he didn't remember any of his names.
According to Xiao Chunmian, since he got acquainted with these people a few days ago, they have met every day to go hunting in Fangbei Mountain. This Fangbei Mountain is no different from Fangnan Mountain. Fangnan Mountain only has some ferocious birds and beasts, and you can walk sideways on the second floor of Qi Refining. However, because Fangbei Mountain is close to Xuanyang Mountain, there are plenty of spiritual energy, and there are many monsters. It's easy to get into trouble. But Xiao Chunmian and the others didn't go deep, they just walked around the periphery, and it was not easy to encounter any danger. Occasionally, they could earn a lot of spirit stones by hitting one or two monsters.
"But... Fellow Daoist Xiao..." the middle-aged man at the fifth level of Qi Refining said hesitantly, "The black tiger beast you mentioned just now is not because we don't want to help you, but it's really not that easy to meet."
Xiao Chunmian frowned slightly, "But I heard from others that black tigers are not uncommon in Fangbei Mountain."
The middle-aged man rubbed his nose and smiled wryly. There are indeed many black tigers in Fangbei Mountain, but they are not on the periphery. And this person also has three apprentices, so although he has the cultivation base of the fifth level of Qi refining, he is unwilling to take the risk of going deep.
Xiao Chunmian probably guessed what he was thinking, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
"Black Tiger Beast?" Yu Qiu asked in a timely manner, "What are you doing with Black Tiger Beast?"
"I want to order a pen for you." Xiao Chunmian replied, "But the qi refiner said that there is one material missing, which is the mane on the body of the black tiger."
Yu Qiu let out a "hey" and thought to himself: I was asking the question knowingly, why are you so honest, and you don't know how to surprise me! Even though he was thinking this way, he felt very happy in his heart, and the sourness before was also gone in this answer.
"What a coincidence, I'm also planning to go to Fangbei Mountain to find some materials." Then Yu Qiu said, "Why don't we go together?"
"Is this fellow Taoist also planning to go with us?" The middle-aged man heard that Yuqiu looked him up and down.
Yu Qiu looked at him with a half-smile, "Aren't you unwilling to find the Black Tiger Beast?"
The middle-aged man was taken aback.
Yu Qiu was already walking up the mountain path, and only waved back, "I'm leaving! Are you coming?"
Only then did the middle-aged man realize that Yu Qiu was not planning to go with them, but was planning to pry Xiao Chunmian away from them. He didn't know whether to be shocked or angry, and he couldn't laugh or cry, "It's just the third level of Qi Refining, it's so I don’t know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth!”
Xiao Chunmian shook her head helplessly, and said, "Friend Zhang Daoist, I'm really sorry, it seems that we can only say goodbye today."
The middle-aged man was really shocked, "Daoist Xiao, think about it clearly, this Beishan is different from other places, you two are only at the third level of Qi refining, you don't know how you will die. Then The guy didn't know how many catties he ran to die, and you actually wanted to follow?"
"Thank you fellow daoist for reminding me." Xiao Chunmian thanked him, and raised her head to reveal a pair of clear and bright eyes with a smile in them, "But if we are both so easy to encounter danger, I will be more It is impossible to rest assured that he will go there alone, please forgive me."
The middle-aged man wanted to say something more, but Xiao Chunmian had already followed Yu Qiu up the mountain road.
"Young people today!" The middle-aged man could only shake his head and sigh on the spot.
Yu Qiu's figure was walking ahead, and he disappeared after turning a corner.
Xiao Chunmian was not in a hurry, walked all the way to the corner, and saw Yu Qiuguo actually stopped there and waited.
"Are you worried about me being alone?" Yu Qiu raised his eyebrows.
"How can it be?" Xiao Chunmian smiled, "Xiao Qiu is the best, and I have to rely on you to cover me up later."
Yu Qiu snorted coldly, and only then did he show a little satisfaction on his face, and continued to walk forward, "Then why didn't you just tell that guy directly?"
"Zhang Daoyou is just a kind reminder after all." Xiao Chunmian walked side by side with him, "Since he has no bad intentions, why should I specifically refute? It's better to follow his words and fulfill this good intention."
"You..." Yu Qiu sighed, "It's just too roundabout!"
Xiao Chunmian smiled.
"You are so kind to everyone!" Yu Qiu scolded, "It's really..." What is it really? Yu Qiu suddenly got stuck.
Thinking about it carefully, if Xiao Chunmian hadn't been such a person who is gentle and gentle to everyone and wished for everyone in the world to be good, he would not have helped Yu Qiu so recklessly, and Yu Qiu would not have gotten acquainted with him.
Although he understood this truth, Yu Qiu was still very upset. It's as if you treat a person with all your heart and soul, but this person is so unhappy with everyone.
The two walked all the way in silence, when suddenly a little monster jumped out from the side of the road.
Yu Qiudong didn't move, just watched the monster spread its sharp claws and jumped in front of him, just waiting for a light blue sword light to slash across behind him, cutting the monster in half.
"Not bad." Yu Qiu commented casually, "I have made great progress, and I have mastered almost a quarter of the sword formula, right?"
Xiao Chunmian was surprised, "Exactly one quarter."
Yu Qiu nodded, "The grade of this sword technique is not bad. At least you can only master it in the middle stage, and there are still a few styles that you can only learn in the later stage. You have to use more of what you have learned. The more you use it, the more proficient you become. Even if you will change it later. For a better sword art, this foundation must also be laid well."
Hearing this, Xiao Chunmian was even more surprised, "Xiao Qiu, do you also have research on sword tactics?"
Yu Qiu hesitated, "Slightly."
In fact, Yu Qiu has no interest in sword formulas... The reason why he understands this is because Xu Hong was also a sword cultivator in his previous life. up.
Speaking of which, he has thought of Xu Hong a lot recently, as if these two words are still so disgusting, but they are not so scary to avoid. This is also very good, after all, Xu Hong is already in the past, the wound must heal, leaving a scar, so that he can always be alert.
Just to say that it allowed me to have such a superficial study of sword tactics, the past with Xu Hong was not without its benefits.
While sighing, Yu Qiu continued to let Xiao Chunmian deal with the little monsters that popped up from time to time, while he followed by and gave casual pointers. It wasn't until after walking for about two hours that they encountered a larger white bear spirit for the first time, and Yu Qiu finally played a few talismans out.
Seeing that the white bear, which he had spent a long time trying to solve, was burned to charcoal just like that, Xiao Chunmian was inevitably disappointed, "Sure enough, Xiao Qiu is the best."
"Because I have talismans in my hand." Yu Qiu smiled and tapped the palm of his hand with the pile of talismans, "If I hand over all these talismans to you and let you use sword moves to cooperate with the talismans, you will be many times stronger than before—just like Who was that back then?"
"Who is that?" Xiao Chunmian couldn't help but pay attention to this word.
Yu Qiu shook his head with a smile, and did not intend to elaborate on that part of the past.
It was getting late at this time, if it was Xiao Chunmian in the past, they would have to go back, but now they haven't found any trace of the black tiger beast, so no one mentioned going back, anyway, the big deal is to sleep out for a night.
After a while, the two of them started gathering firewood to make a fire. Just as the sun was setting, a fire was lit. The two huddled together in front of the fire and roasted their hands, but there was a sense of warmth.
"Why did you order that pen for me?" Yu Qiu's face was flushed red by the flames, "You even took the risk to hunt some black tiger?"
"Because I saw that you have been shopping in the market recently." Xiao Chunmian smiled, "After thinking about it carefully, I guess you should need a pen."
Yu Qiu nodded, sighing secretly in his heart: It really is so. This guy is so gentle to everyone, making him remember to buy something is really not a special thing to be happy about...
Xiao Chunmian immediately added, "What's more, I'm yours..."
"What?" Yu Qiu's heart skipped a beat.
"I'm yours." Xiao Chunmian tilted her head, and there seemed to be a joke in her eyes, "You said that, didn't you?"
At this moment, Yu Qiu's face was probably red even if there was no light from the fire.
"Yu Qiu." Xiao Chunmian approached in the firelight.
He called Yu Qiu, not Xiao Qiu. There is less intimacy, but more solemnity.
Yu Qiu's heart was pounding, as if time had stopped at this moment.
