In order to completely avoid being found by Yu Qiu, Xiao Chunmian left Yulian County.
Where should I go next? Xiao Chunmian thought for a while, and quickly made a decision: let's do what he once wanted to do.
He still remembered that he wanted to take the scientific examination in Beijing at the beginning. Although he later embarked on the road of cultivation, it would be good to go back and experience the life he might have lived, at least he would definitely have a lot of insights.
Just like that, he went to another small town far away, changed his name and surname, started from the rural examination, and gradually entered the capital.
But at this time, Yu Qiu returned to Xuanyangzong, and returned to his cave silently without seeing anyone. When he was immersed in drawing talismans and practicing, he was able to forget all his troubles, but after a long time, he even found it boring to draw talismans, and finally dropped the pen and paper, squatting at the entrance of the cave every day, enjoying the wind and watching the scenery, Look at the whole day, just don't want to do anything.
The subtle feeling of being spied on would still pass over him occasionally, but maybe because Yu Qiu has been doing nothing every day recently, the other party feels bored when peeping, and his sight always sweeps past him.
Later, I got tired of looking at the scenery, so Yu Qiu squatted on the square of Riyao Peak, watching the bustle and bustle of people coming and going. The news of Xiao Chunmian's disappearance had been spread long ago, and ridicule was inevitable, but Yu Qiu heard it and didn't even bother to argue with others.
But no matter how lively people come and go, they will always get tired of watching. Later, Yu Qiu began to act like an ordinary inner disciple, sometimes taking on some tasks to earn some contribution points of the sect, sometimes communicating with fellow apprentices of the same period to get in touch with each other, and sometimes going to the lecture hall to attend lectures. After all, he stopped doing the things he used to do and liked to do, as if he was living another person's life.
Gao Conghan visited him a few times, at first he was full of complacency and thought he could take advantage of it, and was kicked out several times by Yu Qiu, but finally he stopped talking nonsense, just looked at Yu Qiu and sighed, and asked him what the hell was going on. Only when I want to look away.
Yu Qiu said he didn't know either.
Xu Hong also came to see him twice, but his persuasion was ineffective, and Gao Conghan's condition was stable recently, so there was no need to bother Yu Qiu, so he had to let him go.
Yu Qiu sent Xu Hong away and went back to the cave to lie down for the night. In the early morning of the next day, he heard someone excitedly talking about the lecture given by Grandmaster Jindan himself, so he rushed to the lecture hall along with the army.
It is Long Yi who is giving a lecture in the lecture hall today.
Long Yi quoted extensively from other sources, and explained the difficulties and passes in the early stage of foundation establishment in a simple and interesting manner. All the disciples were mesmerized by listening, only Yu Qiu fell asleep.
It's no wonder that Long Yi didn't speak well, in fact, Yu Qiu has been in this dead state for many days.
While yawning, Yu Qiu noticed that Long Yi actually looked at him with a smile. But Grandmaster Jindan, a casual look can make everyone feel that he is looking at him. This is the most basic skill, and Yu Qiu didn't take it to heart.
After Long Yi finished the basic course, he saw the reluctance of most of the disciples, so he added another hour of class time, and also talked about talismans. When it came to a difficult point about talismans, Long Yi suddenly paused, and asked with a smile, "Who is willing to share his thoughts?"
Grandmaster Jindan asked a question. The lecture hall froze suddenly, and then became agitated suddenly. Many people had eagerness to try on their faces.
Long Yi nodded to the two people to get up, and after listening to the answer, he smiled and shook his head, "You guys are thinking well, but there are still some gaps." After speaking, he looked around again, "Is there anything else you want to add?"
There were still some people who were interested in talismans, but they all felt that the two people had answered perfectly, and when they heard Long Yi say that it was not enough, they hesitated for a while, and couldn't help but whisper for a while. The enthusiasm for speaking has not been suppressed, and there are still so many people eager to try.
Hearing that Long Yi ordered a few more people, and listening to those people's immature and inexperienced answers, Yu Qiu gradually lay down on the table with his chin resting on the table.
"That little guy in gray and blue clothes," Long Yi suddenly called his name, "Is there anything you want to say?"
As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes followed Long Yi's, swish, swish, swish.
Yu Qiu, who was in the center of his line of sight, froze for a moment, and finally lifted his chin from the table. He looked carefully at the people around him again, trying to find another person in gray-blue clothes, but he found nothing, so he stood up in a dispirited way.
Long Yi looked at him with a smile.
"I don't know." Yu Qiu replied.
The smile on Long Yi's face froze.
Yu Qiu sat back.
The smile on Long Yi's face froze for a long while, and finally he laughed, gritted his teeth and said, "What an interesting little guy."
Everyone was at a loss: Interesting? What's the point? Isn't it interesting to answer don't know? If I knew it earlier, I would say I don’t know.
Long Yi continued his lessons with a calm face, once again fascinated all the disciples. Meaningful time always passes quickly, when Long Yi said that this overtime was over, all the disciples felt lost.
"That little guy in gray cloth just now," Long Yi said before leaving, "Come with me."
Seeing Yu Qiu who followed Long Yi out listlessly, everyone was stunned.
Long Yi stretched out his sleeves, and an auspicious cloud unfolded in front of him, "Little guy, have you been in a bad mood recently?"
Yu Qiu slowly climbed up to the cloud without saying a word.
Long Yi stepped on the cloud, Xiangyun took the two of them, and flew to Tianjing Peak where Long Yi lived in the blink of an eye. When it stopped, Long Yi said, "You haven't drawn symbols recently."
Yu Qiu looked at him.
Long Yi had a sentence written all over his face: I'll just spy on you.
Yu Qiu lowered his head, "Anyway, I'm not very talented, and the talismans I draw are unsightly, so why waste the materials."
"Hehe." Long Yi sneered twice, noncommittal, and led Yuqiu all the way to a beautiful pavilion. He led Yuqiu to sit down, and he sat opposite and watched with great interest, "Where did you learn it, what did you learn from?" place?"
"The past is the past." Yu Qiu played literature and art, "Once you enter the sect of Xuanyang Sect, you will be a member of Xuanyang Sect for the rest of your life."
"Haha!" Long Yi laughed again.
He just stared at each other with Yu Qiu for a while, and in the end he probably felt that such a pressing question was boring, so he curled his lips, "Well, who can not have some adventures? You are right to be more cautious." After speaking, he glared at Yu Qiu again, "I'm just a little curious, and I don't want to be taken as thinking about your adventure."
Looking at the sky in autumn.
Long Yi quickly changed the subject. He rested his elbows on the stone table, and opened a folding fan, "Do you want to be a disciple?"
"Who will take it?" Yu Qiu looked at him, "You?"
Long Yi showed a smile, which was self-evident.
But to be honest, he was a little nervous. You have to know that he has lived for hundreds of years, and he has never confiscated his apprentice until now, and even those little boys who were also born in the Long family don't even look up to them. This is the first one in hundreds of years that can make him love talents.
Yu Qiu didn't agree immediately, but lowered his head in thought, with a hint of refusal showing in his brows and eyes.
Long Yi squeezed his fan.
"If I take you as my teacher," Yu Qiu finally raised his head after a long while, "Can you do me a favor?"
In July of the thirty-sixth year of Haoqi, the capital.
The imperial city released the list in the early morning of this day. Dozens of names were written in black letters on a red background, indicating that dozens of people who were destined to become prosperous from today onwards.
Inside the Zuixiang building, many people toasted and exchanged glasses, congratulating the new Jinshi who lived temporarily in the building.
Xiao Chunmian held a small cup and sat in a corner with a smile. Because he has been busy cultivating immortals for many years, and has never touched the four books and five classics in the mortal world, he failed to win the top three, so he had to be a Jinshi. But the wish of the year has now come true.
He hasn't built his foundation yet.
Xiao Chunmian put down the cup in her hand, and walked out of the building slowly, but no one found the building full of Zuixiang.
Xiao Chunmian walked to the outskirts of the capital, found a remote place where no one would go, and squinted his eyes looking at the breeze.
He still couldn't forget Yu Qiu. He used to think that time could dilute this kind of reluctance, but he was wrong. Time only made his thoughts ferment like a pile of food sealed in a jar, fermenting continuously.
Yu Qiu is not the same as that desire to make everyone happy. Xiao Chunmian would be dissatisfied if he did not devote himself to doing good deeds wholeheartedly. But losing Yu Qiu would hurt him.
Xiao Chunmian pressed her chest. It really hurts, like a piece of my heart being scraped off, that's why he avoided making this choice in the first place, right? But it doesn't matter, Xiao Chunmian said to herself, time can always solve everything.
After all, this road is so long, even if it is fermented, it will fade away one day.
"Two years." Xiao Chunmian suddenly heard a voice coming from behind him.
At the moment when he heard this voice, the pain in his chest, which was finally relieved by pressing hard with his fingers, suddenly flooded again, and the pain made him tremble uncontrollably.
Xiao Chunmian quickly turned around and saw the person who made that voice.
Yu Qiu.
Xiao Chunmian was stunned, unable to believe it, as if seeing a hallucination.
"Two years." But the hallucination may not say this sentence with a smile, "Two years, you are so cruel."
Yu Qiu looked at Xiao Chunmian and thought, "I've grown taller."
Xiao Chunmian looked at Yu Qiu and thought, "I lost weight."
After a long while, Xiao Chunmian shook her lips, "Why?"
Yu Qiu raised the things in his hands to show him. It was a gorgeous and complicated compass, with a strand of hair wrapped around the pointer, and the needle pointed firmly at Xiao Chunmian's body, "I borrowed a magic weapon from someone else, it's very useful."
Xiao Chunmian didn't look at the magic weapon, but stared blankly at Yu Qiu's face.
"Chun Mian..." Yu Qiu took a deep breath, showed a faint smile, and said in a light tone, "Chun Mian... I tried everything to find you, but I just want a word from you."
"Just a word from me?" Xiao Chunmian murmured.
"Yes." Yu Qiu said, "What do you decide? Give me a letter of approval. Don't just run away without leaving an ending. If you want to end it completely, tell me these two words yourself."
Xiao Chunmian looked at him and asked for a while, "And then?"
"What else should I do next?" Yu Qiu sneered, "It's been two years, besides this endless unwillingness, what do you think I have left? What else can I expect from you?"
