She grazed the sheep on the hillside for a long time, and as in the past, she saw Li Si appearing in the unfinished palace in a luxurious chariot.
After talking with some craftsmen and officials for nearly half an hour, the chariot returned to a temporary courtyard, which was a completed garden with some elegant courtyards inside.
Practitioners have their own unique feelings, even if they look far away from a distance beyond perception, it may cause some vigilance.
Especially the killing intent of high-level practitioners is even more indescribable.
That's why Jing Liuli is often herding sheep. She never stares at that area for a long time. Even Li Si's figure is as small as an ant in her sight, even if she is condescending from afar. From where Li Si was located, he probably couldn't see the scenery on this hillside at all.
After Li Si's chariot returned to the residence, she still herded the sheep for more than an hour. When the sun began to dim, she slowly drove the flock back to the residence.
Her residence is extremely simple, it is the residence of a real shepherdess here, it is just a simple and simple house made of bark, planks and dead branches. When it rains heavily, the house even leaks everywhere.
This shepherdess is a widowed old woman. She has a younger sister who is married in a distant town. She only asks someone to send some money and food to support the old woman every one or two years.
The furnishing in the room is also extremely simple, only a bed made of wood planks and cotton wadding randomly piled up, and a few rocks are used as a pot and stove, and a copper pot that has been smoked into black gray is hung above it.
When she drove the flock to a sheepfold in front of the house, there was a person in the house who was concentrating on cooking soup.
The man's face was disfigured by the fire, but if anyone saw him, he would be equally astonished.
Because he is Dugu Bai.
After An Baoshi's death, he, Li Xixing and others were the leaders among Changling's generation of practitioners.
Although he didn't have the same fortune as Li Xixing, but with his cultivation level, it was only a matter of time before he advanced to the Seventh Realm.
There are two extremely simple beds in this room. Obviously, he and Jing Liuli came here after leaving Changling, and they didn't care about these details at all, and spent many nights resting here separately.
He and Jing Liuli are obviously already very familiar, seeing Jing Liuli approaching from a distance, he greeted naturally, "Are you back?"
Jing Ruri just hummed lightly.
"I picked some fresh mushrooms today, and added venison, the taste should be good, but it will take a while." Dugu Bai stirred the soup in the pot, and said again.
"No rush." Jing Liuli casually sat down on the ground beside him, picked up a thick bowl and drank some water.
Dugu Bai looked at her thoughtfully, and asked, "Did you see Li Si today?"
Jing Ruri nodded, "I see."
Dugu Bai saw some clues from her complexion, couldn't help shaking his head slightly, "Still can't think of a way?"
"Can't think of it."
Jing Liuli was not as discouraged as he imagined, looked at the steaming copper pot, took a spoon from Dugu Bai's hand and tasted it, she seemed to be satisfied, then she pursed her lips, and said: "It's just me The master told me, wherever he goes, I will follow him... My master told me to observe everything about him like this, there must be a reason for him. Looking at it these days, I have not learned nothing."
Dugu Bai was a little surprised, "What did you find?"
Jing Liuli nodded: "All Li Si's actions follow strict rules. When to eat, when to practice, and when to come out to manage these chores are all at fixed times."
Dugu Bai frowned suddenly, "So every day you see him come out to deal with these things at about the same time?"
Jing Liuli did not talk nonsense, and said: "Yes, a person who can strictly follow these laws must be a person with extreme self-discipline and strong willpower. In addition, this kind of law is often a habit formed by practicing many special exercises. .”
Hearing these words, Dugu Bai's heart beat faster.
He understood what Jing Ruri meant.
Practitioners have various kinds of exercises, but in the final analysis, they use different types of heaven and earth vitality, so some exercises need to be breathed out at sunrise, some exercises need to be carried out with enthusiasm at noon when the sun is at its strongest, and some exercises need to be breathed out at sunrise. Dharma, you must practice at the time of the moon.
If you have been doing some predetermined things at a certain time, you will often develop many habits naturally, and doing many things will often become extremely regular.
So he pondered for a while, and said, "Can you guess what kind of exercise he is practicing?"
"He fought against my master in the Minshan Sword Sect, and used a certain treasure from Jiaodong County. My master said that only the feminine water element technique can be used to the extreme." Jing Liuli said: " In addition to the habit of watching him these days... the most important time in his practice should be two hours before sunrise, so the exercises he practiced should not be a certain exercise passed down by the Li family, but probably from the past and the sky. The water element technique of Haichang Pavilion, which is as famous as a pavilion."
"It's only very possible and only possible. I can't be his opponent now, and I can't directly appear in front of him to test." After a pause, Jing Liuli added another sentence.
Li Si has been following such a routine recently, not leaving the palace under construction, so she is very worried that Li Si will continue like this for a long time.
There was some strange light in Dugu Bai's eyes.
"Did you notice that she's building a new wooden house here?"
He looked into Joruri's eyes and asked.
The question was abrupt, but Joruri knew he was talking about the old woman who sold the sheep and the house to them.
When she and Dugu Bai came here, Dugu Bai bought her sheep and this residence, and the money given was enough for her to spend her old age in an ordinary town, but she did not leave here. It seems that I am not used to living in the mountain village, but I paid someone to build a house on a sloping land not far away.
The difference is that newly built homes are better and a little more comfortable.
After hearing something, Jing Liuli frowned deeply.
"Just because of habit."
Dugu Bai took a deep breath, and continued: "If some of the routines that we are accustomed to change, this person will be very uncomfortable... It feels wrong. It affects the state of mind."
Jing Liuli pondered for a long time, until she felt that the soup was no problem, it was already very tasty, she began to fill the soup and drank it slowly, and then she seemed to be speaking to herself, or to Dugu Bai, "So My master thinks that he is easier to deal with than the other great masters, and that I can kill him because his state of mind is the most easily affected, and I am afraid it is only because of some subtle, ordinary changes in small habits?"
