Isn't the ghost princess a woman
This was Gong Wei's first reaction, but then he thought about it, that's right. If Mrs. Xu is not a woman, then of course, the ghost crown princess may not be a woman, anyway, no one knows what happened behind the myths and legends. It's just that Xu Shuangce was also rumored to be welcoming relatives, and that Xu Shuangce had run before and after to help cross the killing obstacles, so the ghost prince may not have that luck.
However, the well-known Daojing story suddenly intersected with reality, which still gave Gong Wei a sense of absurdity. He sat on the bed and pondered for a long time, hugging the quilt, and then suddenly reacted, and hurriedly said: "So what Master saw was a great female sect?"
Xu Shuangce glanced at him casually, as if he didn't even bother to answer.
Gong Wei said embarrassingly: "The disciple is stupid. The disciple still doesn't understand why the master is worried. Could it be that the god of the sky looks very scary?"
Xu Shuangce said: "I didn't see the description of each other's face clearly, presumably mortals also need mana to see the appearance of a god, I just suddenly remembered one thing - the agency giant in the illusion said, "The cud of all things, Soldiers perish."
Gong Wei naturally heard these words. After all, the soldiers roared with anger at that time. "That master thinks..."
Xu Shuangce suddenly fell into silence, as if he didn't know how to speak next.
After a long while, he took a breath and said slowly: "Is it possible that the giant of the mechanism was sent by a certain god to destroy the world?"
Gong Weixin's words are so absurd. Could it be that this "some god" just wants all beings on earth to die
"If you speculate like this, the extremely vicious catastrophe that the grandmaster brought down when he crossed the robbery can be explained, because it was not intended to let the robbery person fly up, but the punishment of breaking the corpse into thousands of pieces and never surpassing life. After that, the spirits in the mirror To strike back the Jiuzhongtian lightning and carry the master's primordial spirit up to the sky is also against the will of the god, so he appeared in a rage to deliver divine punishment."
If you distinguish it carefully, Xu Shuangce's voice was unusually slightly unstable when he said this, and even the ending sound was hoarse.
He said: "If my guess is true, then this god should be an evil god."
Everyone in the world knows that Sect Master Xu is taciturn, and Gong Wei has never seen him say so much at one time, although the more he listens, the more confused he becomes, and he doesn't dare to get to the bottom of it, so he can only say: "But... but Master , in mythology, the ghost princess finally ascended smoothly."
Xu Shuangce said: "Yes, soaring."
"Then the god you saw failed?"
The light outside the window gradually broke, finally reflecting a ray of light in the dim and ambiguous room. I saw Xu Shuangce standing in front of the window lattice, with half of his body backlit into the shadows.
"Yeah," his voice was very soft, as if he was answering Gong Wei and as if he was talking to himself.
"—Where did this sinful god go after he failed, was he demoted to a human?"
The lower half of Gong Wei's face was hidden behind the quilt, only revealing a pair of eyes staring at Xu Shuangce carefully. Beneath the deep-water calm and restrained appearance of Sect Master Cangyang, there seemed to be a hint of violence and annoyance on the horizon, which made him a little nervous, but he didn't know where the strangeness came from.
"...Master, did you tell the Alliance Leader Ying about this speculation?" He asked in a low voice vigilantly after a while.
Unexpectedly, Xu Shuangce glanced at him and said indifferently: "No, anyway, as long as you find the culprit behind the scenes, you can get the answer, so the teacher only told you."
Gong Wei: "…Huh?"
Xu Shuangce's irritable feeling was not so heavy, which should be the reason why he temporarily put his thoughts aside. He turned back and opened the inn's window and said, "So if there is another third person in this world who knows about it, it must be you who said it—"
The early morning wind gently blew his unhurried words to Gong Wei's ears: "Love disciple."
Obviously it's a very normal name, maybe because of the fact that he was only wearing pajamas, Gong Wei nestled in the wide corner of the bed, his cheeks were inexplicably hot, and he touched his ears unnaturally.
Xu Shuangce turned around with a half-smiling smile: "Get up, my disciple. Today you can go to the Banquet Hall of Music, don't you know a good friend there?"
·
Xianmeng has set up inns in various places for monks to rest and recuperate. They do not accept private copper coins and silver notes, but can only be recorded in the sect account or directly use gold. When they came down and checked out, Gong Wei was ready to cause a sensation, and he carefully hid himself behind Xu Shuangce. Unexpectedly, when the two of them passed through the lobby, the cultivators who came and went looked as usual, without the slightest surprise, as if completely I didn't recognize the dignified Cangyang Sect Master.
Xu Shuangce said calmly: "Don't worry, the teacher has already cast a blind eye. When others see you and me, what they see is just an ordinary Cangyang Sect cultivator."
Gong Wei bowed his hands with admiration on his face: "Master is wise!"
Then he suddenly reacted, an ordinary Cangyang Sect cultivator
"... Master, what about me?"
Xu Shuangce glanced at him from the corner of his eyes, and there seemed to be a hint of teasing in the depths of his eyes, and then Shi Shiran stepped forward to check out.
Gong Wei stood stiffly and touched his face subconsciously, thinking what did he turn me into
But it's useless to worry. Unless he finds a mercury mirror to perform surgery, he can't see what he looks like in the eyes of others. He can't just catch a passerby and ask, "Hey, what am I?"
Gong Wei had to suppress the insidiousness in his intuition and looked around.
Because most of the monks did not eat food, the inns set up by the Xianmeng rarely provided food. The window of the inn's kitchen was open, and a steaming basket of steamed buns was going down the drawer. He picked up one of the buns and opened them, Gong Wei's eyes straightened, and there was a huge chicken and mushroom ball inside.
The fragrance wafted in the wind, Gong Wei gulped, and sadness suddenly flooded into his heart.
Although eating is not necessary for him, it is also one of the greatest joys in life. Not to mention the few boiled vegetables in Cangyang Sect, the last serious meal was more than a month ago, the drunken chicken invited by Meng Yunfei, when others were still in Linjiang...
At this time, the chef suddenly looked out and saw that Xu Shuangce had his back to them, so he waved to Gong Weiyi sneakily.
"?"
Gong Wei didn't know why, so he leaned forward, and the fat chef wrapped the bun in his hand and put it in his hand, his love almost overflowing: "Eat it while that Daoist doesn't look back, hurry up!"
Gong Wei was stunned: "Yes, but I have no money?"
"Oh, what money do you want. Take it!"
"No, I can't take things for nothing..."
"Take it quickly, you're pitiful." The chef couldn't help but whispered and urged: "Don't be afraid, I'll help you stare at the master, eat quickly!"
Gong Wei was caught off guard by the succulent and juicy buns, and in a panic, he turned his head to look at Xu Shuangce and hurriedly straightened his neck to swallow. A steamed bun was eating like a war. The chef stretched half of his body from the window to help him block Xu Shuangce. He quickly took another bun and opened it. He used chopsticks to pick out the stuffing and said in a low voice, "This is chicken stuffing too, come here. , eat the stuffing!"
The chicken and mushroom balls filled Gong Wei's mouth full, and at the same time, a sudden question filled his mind: How do you know that I like to eat chicken stuffing
At this time, not far away, Xu Shuangce was seen taking a half step back, and then came the voice of the shopkeeper with a smile on his face: "Kick officer, walk slowly, guest officer come back next time!"
Chef: "Quick, he's back!"
Gudong! Gong Wei swallowed the food hard, wiped his mouth in a hurry, and hurriedly warned: "I will bring the money next time!"
With a radiant look on his face, the chef reluctantly waved goodbye. Gong Wei quickly cast a cleansing spell on his mouth and fingers. The moment Xu Shuangce turned around, he ran back to the door of the inn, with his hands behind his back and his face raised. Innocent, totally unremarkable.
"… "
The four eyes are facing each other, and the breeze is passing by.
Xu Shuangce looked at Gong Wei up and down, and for some reason Gong Wei felt that although his face was alienated, there was always a hint of a smile in his eyes.
With a flick of his sleeves, he lifted his foot across the threshold, and said lightly, "Let's go, my disciple."
Xu Shuangce had long legs and big strides. Gong Wei ran and followed behind, secretly turning around and waving gratefully at the fat chef.
·
Lesheng Liu Xuzhi lived in Yanchuntai for a long time, and Yanchuntai happened to be stuck on the only road to Tianmenguan, only more than a hundred miles away from Suicheng where they were located. Gong Wei originally thought that according to Xu Shuangce's character, he would not stop in the middle at all, and he would be able to go to the banquet spring platform for three minutes directly with his sword; Ting strolled around the city.
Located at the border, Suicheng is naturally not as prosperous as Linjiang, but it is also very lively when the morning market is set up in the morning. Gong Wei was seriously injured, and his spiritual power had been suppressed to the maximum extent. He didn't walk as fast as Xu Shuangce. Congsheng, I wondered what exactly did Xu Shuangce turn me into
It just so happened that someone was selling breakfast on the roadside. He used a large spoon to take out the hot chicken skeleton from the pot, and shouted loudly: "Liu's chicken noodles! The real chicken thigh meat! Take a look and see!"
Gong Wei couldn't help but look for the prestige, but saw that the breakfast seller immediately caught a potential business opportunity: "Would you like to try it? It doesn't taste good and doesn't cost money!"
Gong Wei thought sadly that even if it was delicious, I had no money, and Xu Shuangce was not the kind of master who would give pocket money to his disciples! Unexpectedly, when the breakfast seller saw that he was going to leave, he immediately changed his mouth and waved enthusiastically: "Don't leave, don't leave, we will give you a free bowl of chicken drumsticks today, first come first served! Don't miss this opportunity!"
Gong Wei was so shocked that he almost stumbled, and Xu Shuangce who was in front suddenly stopped in his footsteps, turned around, and said lightly, "What's wrong?"
Gong Wei didn't dare to mention the word chicken, so he hurried over and lowered his eyebrows and said, "Return to Master, it's nothing."
Xu Shuangce looked down at him for a moment, then suddenly stretched out his right hand.
"?"
Gong Wei did not dare to act rashly, and froze there for a while, only to hear Xu Shuangce say, "Pull."
pull...
Gong Wei used two fingers to pinch Xu Shuangce's sleeve very wisely, and said with an apologetic smile: "Master is really considerate to the disciple, and the disciple is flattered..." Before he could say a word, Xu Shuangce raised his left hand and moved towards his wrist, Gong Wei was snow-white. Suddenly, a light golden and shimmering word appeared on the inside of his wrist, and it was "Xu".
"Since you're walking slowly, don't look around. With this mark, no matter where you are, the teacher will know."
Gong Wei gritted his teeth and thought that you even gave me a mark, and sincerely pleaded guilty on his face: "This disciple knows I'm wrong."
Xu Shuangce said happily, "Otherwise, if someone was kidnapped, wouldn't the trip be delayed?"
"Master taught me that the disciple must... kidnap?"
It was the first time in Gong Wei's two lifetimes that he heard this word appear on himself. Combined with the chef's overly loving performance just now, a terrible guess suddenly appeared in his mind:
"... Master, did you turn me into a little maid?"
Xu Shuangce gave him a condescending glance, but did not answer, and walked forward.
Am I really a little girl? Xu Shuangce couldn't make fun of people like that, right
Gong Wei hurriedly followed, and the doubts in his heart were about to drown him. Fortunately, Xu Shuangce's pace slowed down this time, so that he wouldn't let him run and chase. After about a stick of incense, he suddenly stopped, and Gong Wei looked up and saw a pub in front of him.
"Master Dao, please! Come in!" The second running hall rushed out full of enthusiasm, and with a wink, led Xu Shuangce upstairs to the elegant room, and asked diligently, "What would you like to eat? What would you like to drink?"
Xu Shuangce lifted his robe and sat down, and said casually, "Don't you want to eat?"
—As expected of Sect Master Xu, such a beautiful word for eating is actually just "eating" in his mouth.
Gong Wei's heart that had been frightened for the past few days suddenly mentioned his throat again, thinking that Xu Shuangce also had a share in those who forced him to indulge in the past life. Are you going to deceive him
Thinking of this, Gong Wei was even more afraid to say words directly linked to death, such as drunken chicken, roast chicken, drooling chicken, mushroom chicken buns, etc., gritted his teeth and reluctantly said, "Disciple dare not. Disciple should be fasting in order to seek the Dao, why? Can you covet your appetite?"
Xu Shuangce didn't even lift his eyelashes: "It's okay. I'm in a good mood today, I'll buy you anything I want."
Gong Wei stood up and bowed: "If that's the case, please ask the master to give the disciple a bowl of boiled vegetables in white water!"
"… "
Xu Shuangce stopped. A little he asked, "Why?"
Gong Wei looked solemn: "The disciple has been out for a long time, and he really misses the food given by the master of Cangyang Mountain, so he only wants to eat boiled vegetables in white water and remember the teacher's kindness when he comes. The master is wise!"
The air in the private room seemed to freeze.
Gong Wei maintained this gesture of bowing his head respectfully, and it took a long time to hear Xu Shuangce say softly: "But I remember that when you were in Linjiang Capital that day, you didn't show anything, and took the initiative to ask Meng Yunfei from Leshengmen to invite a meal of drunken chicken. , and it's nice to talk."
Why did Xu Shuangce still remember the unlucky drunken chicken after so long
Gong Wei said in a loud voice, "The disciple relaxed too much and broke the precepts for a while, I promise not to do it again in the future!"
The temperature in the private room seemed to drop suddenly, and Xu Shuangce repeated word by word, "—Excessive relaxation."
The bottom of his eyes seemed to be covered with thin ice, and he said slowly for a long time: "Sure enough, the beloved disciple can only be happy and relaxed when he makes friends with the disciple surnamed Meng. It is no wonder that the appetite was so good that day, and Yan Yan was smiling."
Gong Wei thought that he didn't like me eating drunk chicken so much, so he repented even more on his face: "Master..."
"Give him boiled vegetables in plain water." Xu Shuangce said coldly.
The little Er quickly smeared oil on the soles of his feet and ran away. After a while, the vegetables came in. It turned out to be a huge bowl of green vegetable soup that was very similar to the one on Cangyang Mountain. The water surface was so bright that it could be used as a mirror. In this way, he has to pretend to thank Sect Master Xu gratefully: "Master's love, and this disciple will keep it in your heart!"
Xu Shuangce, who was "in a good mood" just now, didn't even pay attention to him at the moment.
As soon as the private room closed, only the two of them were left sitting opposite each other. Gong Wei didn't even dare to lift his head, he was eating the green vegetables one by one like Huang Lian, when suddenly a jade plaque on Xu Shuangce's waist lit up, and automatically flew into the air, popping out a thousand-mile formation, the center of the array's rays of light It was Ying Kai.
"That's great, Shuangce, you're finally willing to accept my manifesto card! I've been trying to contact you last night, but I couldn't get in touch—" Ying Kai's eager voice stopped abruptly when he saw Gong Wei.
Gong Wei: "…"
Ying Kai: "..."
In an instant, as if the thunder of the sky stirred the fire of the earth, Gong Wei was so wronged that he almost jumped up on the spot and shouted: Brother! Have you seen the tragic state of being so low-pitched that I can't get enough of food? Why don't you hurry to rescue me!
"Really." At this time, Xu Shuangce, who was on the other side of the round table, said calmly, "This place is remote and the spiritual energy is thin. Maybe it is because of the poor appearance of the magic circle."
"… "
Ying Kai stared at his junior brother whom he hadn't seen in sixteen years. Although he had tried his best, anyone who knew him well could see the words "strong face and happy smile" in his stiff expression: "...Shuangce, this Is that the little disciple you took away? Haha, how did it become like this?"
