From my impression, Pei Qianyue seldom sleeps in front of Feng Ci.
Having been together for such a long time, Feng Ci once thought that this person didn't need to rest, because whenever Feng Ci was awake, Pei Qianyue was always awake.
Feng Ci felt that there was a tight string on his body, and he could only relax by staring at Feng Ci all the time.
The only exception was that Pei Qianyue knelt for three days and three nights in Linxiantai, unable to hold back his original shape in front of him, and fainted.
It can be said that this person is used to causing distress, and he is not wrong at all.
Feng Ci didn't continue blowing the cold wind at the bow, but turned around and went back to the cabin. He carefully lowered the curtains on both sides of the black-covered boat and sat down in the cabin.
The little snake on the wrist was still fast asleep.
Feng Ci remembered that when he rescued the little black snake, the little guy was also wrapped around his wrist from morning to night. When I was a child, the snake cub was very skinny, and I ignored it for a while and started making noises in Feng Ci's sleeves, but after only touching it twice, it could be lulled to sleep immediately.
Unexpectedly, this habit is still there.
Feng Ci looked down at the sleeping snake on his wrist.
The young black snake is very cute. Such a big little snake doesn't even have any patterns on its scales, it's pitch black and shiny, its body is soft and cold, it's so small when coiled up, it's almost weightless.
Feng Ci took a look, and stretched out his free hand to touch the snake's body.
The soft snake's body undulated slightly with the breath, and the cold breath sprayed on Feng Ci's hands, making him itchy.
Slowly move your fingers down the snake's body until it touches the tip of the slender tail.
Snake tails are extremely sensitive, especially at the tip, and they flinch slightly when touched. Feng Ci was amused by his reaction and had a great time.
Pei Qianyue fell asleep only because he was trapped by Feng Ci and couldn't perceive the outside world. Now that the restraint is lifted, the perception is gradually returning, and the sleep is not as deep as before.
After being tossed by Feng Ci again, he was woken up.
With a movement of his head, Feng Ci suddenly withdrew his evil hand, and looked away as if nothing had happened.
The little snake didn't seem to be fully awake from a deep sleep, its head slowly raised up, and it was in a daze for a while.
Feng Ci coughed lightly, with a kind smile on his face: "Are you awake?"
The little black snake followed Fengci's fingers and climbed up until it reached the fingertips before uttering the words: "I just... fell asleep?"
"... Mmm." Feng Ci said, "I slept very deeply."
Pei Qianyue didn't answer, his tail subconsciously moved, wondering if he still felt something strange.
Feng Ci hurriedly changed the subject: "We will arrive at Zhejian Villa in about noon, you should change back first."
Pei Qianyue still didn't answer.
The little black snake retracted quietly, wrapped around Feng Ci's wrist a few times, and obediently settled down.
Feng Ci: "..."
Feng Ci couldn't cry: "What are you doing, are you addicted to being a snake?"
The little black snake put its head on Fengci's wrist, and answered as expected: "Why not?"
Feng Ci: "Then when we get to Folding Sword Villa, will you still be a snake?"
Pei Qianyue still said the same thing: "Why not?"
"..." Feng Ci was silent for a moment, and said, "Aren't you just trying to be lazy and want me to solve the problem by myself?"
Pei Qianyue wagged his tail and stopped answering.
Feng Ci felt that he might be a hard worker, and it was fine if he was ordered around by Heaven every day, and now he finally had Pei Qianyue who could help him, but it turned out that this person didn't seem to care about these things at all, and only wanted to get along with him.
Do nothing.
Feng Ci angrily poked the little black snake on the head.
***
Pei Qianyue kept his word, until the ferry arrived at the gate of Zhejian Mountain Villa, it still insisted on refusing to change back into human form.
Feng Ci was too lazy to care about him, so he simply let him go.
Disembarking from the ferry is a long stone ladder. There are dense trees on both sides of the stone steps. Looking up, one can vaguely see a tall mountain gate and the eaves and ridges like birds spreading their wings on the top of more than a hundred stone steps.
But on both sides of the ferry, there were two young disciples in dark red clothes standing guard.
They all carry a broad sword on their backs, and their expressions are as if.
Before Feng Ci got off the boat, he heard the two young disciples say from a distance: "Uncle Li, why are you here? Didn't the owner tell you not to come anymore?"
The boatman explained: "There is a guest from Gusu..."
"Guests? But we—"
Feng Ci lifted the curtain of the black-covered boat and walked out.
He said with a smile: "I troubled Uncle Li to send me here, please don't make things difficult for him."
The two disciples looked at each other and asked: "I don't know the name of this young master, what is the matter of coming to Zhejian Villa?"
"My surname is Lu, Lu Jingming." Feng Ci took out a token from his bosom and handed it over, "My owner met once at the Wanhai Bazaar, and he allowed me to bring this token here."
One of the disciples took the token and carefully identified it: "This is indeed the owner's token."
He bowed to Fengci: "Young master, don't blame me, this disciple will bring you into the village right away."
But even if Feng Ci holds a token, it is not so easy to enter the village.
From the wharf to Zhejian Mountain Villa, within a short period of more than a hundred stone stairs, Feng Ci saw three barriers, five or six kinds of restrictions, and several disciples deliberately guarded the gate of the mountain villa, carefully searching the people entering and leaving.
Fengci, an outsider, was even more unavoidable.
He obediently stood in front of the mountain gate and was searched. When he raised his eyes, he saw a plaque hanging high above his head.
The plaque looks old, but the big characters of Zhejian Villa are bold and powerful, and the author's wild demeanor can be vaguely seen.
Feng Ci asked curiously: "Who wrote the words on this plaque?"
Folding Sword Villa uses the sword as a weapon, and its exercises are resolute and overbearing, but the disciples under the sect have not developed such habits.
Whether it's the two guarding the ferry, or the disciple who searched in front of the mountain gate, they all treat everyone with courtesy.
Searching Feng Ci, the disciple explained: "This word was mentioned by our first owner Xiao Jue."
Feng Ci asked: "Then why is it called Folding Sword Villa?"
Most of the names of the Xianmen sects are somewhat contrived.
It is like Langfeng City, which is named directly after the place name of Kunlun Langfengdian, or Lingxiao Gate, which is named after the name of the first generation of the gate master. It is neither of these two, there is always an auspicious saying.
But the name Folding Sword Villa... does not sound very auspicious.
A sword cultivator regards the sword as his life, and his realm is so high that he can even become one with the sword. If the sword is broken, most people will die.
The disciple explained to him very patiently: "I don't know, my lord. The first owner of the villa has a resolute character all his life, and he did not fear the oppression of power. He established Zhejian Villa on his own. At the beginning of the establishment of the sect, he left a ancestral precept."
Having said that, he raised his head and looked at the plaque on top of his head: "—Enter My Sword Villa, swords can be broken, but people can't be broken."
Feng Ci's eyes moved.
The disciple said: "That's how the name of Zhejian Villa came about."
Feng Ci praised: "Good character."
The disciple just didn't answer.
At that moment, Feng Ci seemed to see a trace of loneliness in his eyes.
But he quickly restrained himself and threw off his sleeves.
"ah-"
A small black snake sprang out from the sleeve, opened its mouth wide, and tried to bite. Fortunately, the disciple had martial arts and was able to dodge quickly, so he escaped unharmed.
The little black snake's tail was still wrapped around Feng Ci's wrist, its head raised high, and it "hissed" to spit out bright red snake letters.
Feng Ci: "..."
"This this… "
The disciple seemed to be terribly frightened, Feng Ci sighed, pinched the little black snake's head and neatly rolled him back around his wrist, and then said to the disciple, "I have raised a little thing, it's not very obedient. I hope fellow Taoists are not to blame."
"So...so that's the case." The disciple calmed down a little and said, "Let the young master see you."
"No, it's because it doesn't know the rules." Feng Ci poked the little black snake on the head, "Apologize to others."
The little black snake swung its tail and retracted it into Feng Ci's sleeve.
Feng Ci: "You—"
"It's okay." The disciple didn't seem to want to continue dealing with the little black snake, so he said hastily, "My lord, this little snake is very intelligent, very...very cute, maybe I thought I was hostile, so I suddenly attacked. Don't bother with it."
Feng Ci: "..."
No, he doesn't think you are hostile, he is hostile to anyone who approaches him.
After a simple search, the disciples who went to report to the villa also came back, and Feng Ci finally entered the gate of the villa.
The one who led the way was the disciple who searched him just now.
After chatting with Feng Ci for a few words, he realized that this person turned out to be the chief disciple of the current owner of Zhejian Villa, named Jin Yi.
Jin Yi took the wind and resigned into the villa. The interior of the villa is huge. Although it is not as rich and noble as the Qingjing sect, it is not far behind. The difference is that the security in the villa is now heavily guarded, and disciples with swords can be seen patrolling everywhere.
"That's the Nine Turns Array, right?" Feng Ci recognized the nine stone pillars placed in the center of the front yard.
Each of these nine stone pillars contains different hidden weapons, which are placed in a special order. Once activated, the stone pillars will move in the formation like living creatures, attacking the intruders wantonly.
Jin Yi was startled, but didn't hide anything: "Young master has good eyesight."
This formation was created by Feng Ciming back then, of course he recognized it.
only…
This formation seems to be treacherous and changeable, but its actual lethality is not strong, and it can only be used as a maneuver to delay time. It's okay to face ordinary enemies, but once you encounter a strong enemy with a very high level of cultivation, it's not very useful.
What's more, this time the enemy...
Feng Ci frowned slightly and didn't say much.
Because Feng Ci was holding the owner's token, he was the guest invited by the owner, so Jin Yi directly took him to the courtyard, where the owner handles affairs.
As soon as he entered the yard, the first thing he saw was a young man.
The young man in red knelt in the middle of the courtyard, lowered his head slightly, his whole body trembling slightly.
He should have been kneeling for a long time, and the clothes on his body were slightly damp, probably from the rain last night.
Hearing footsteps approaching, he raised his head, revealing that pale and haggard face.
It was the young man Feng Ci met at the Wanhai Bazaar, Xiao Chenghuan, the younger brother of the owner of Zhejian Villa.
"It's you..." Xiao Chenghuan also recognized Feng Ci.
Feng Ci nodded to him, "Young Master Xiao."
Jin Yi stepped forward directly, raised his hand and squeezed a formula for cleaning clothes, as if he wanted to help Xiao Chenghuan dry his clothes.
"Ayi." Xiao Chenghuan called out, shaking his head, "No need."
Jin Yi: "Little uncle, but you..."
Xiao Chenghuan said: "I knelt here to think about my mistakes, but you are helping me, what are you calling thinking about my mistakes?"
"Can… "
Xiao Chenghuan is still very young, Juan He Fengci's current body is about the same age. Jin Yi is older than him, but in terms of seniority, he still calls him "Master Uncle".
Jin Yi looked down at him for a moment, then finally closed his eyes and withdrew his hand.
He turned his head and said to Feng Ci: "The owner is at the house now, young master—"
Before he finished speaking, the door was suddenly pulled, and the young owner came out.
Xiao Chengxuan was still dressed in the red dress, but Fengci felt that compared to Wanhai Market, his expression was much haggard now.
Xiao Chengxuan didn't say goodbye, and said directly: "Young Master Lu, please invite me."
He said and walked out of the courtyard, Jin Yi said: "Master, little uncle..."
Xiao Chengxuan paused.
Jin Yi continued: "Little Master Uncle is not well in the first place, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it if he kneels like this again, Master—"
"Did I make him kneel?" Xiao Chengxuan said coldly without turning his head, "He is no longer a member of my Zhejian Villa, but he himself is unwilling to leave and kneels here. If you can't see him, let him Get out."
As soon as he said this, Xiao Chenghuan's face became even paler: "No, no! I don't want to leave, brother, don't drive me away!"
Xiao Chengxuan ignored him and walked out.
Feng Ci glanced back at the two people in the yard, Jin Yi lowered his head in front of Xiao Chenghuan, as if trying to persuade him in a low voice. He didn't continue to read, and left the courtyard with Xiao Chengxuan.
***
When Xiao Chengxuan was at the Wanhai Bazaar, he agreed to let Feng resign and go to the Treasure Pavilion to choose a magic weapon at will.
Although Feng Ci used this excuse to break the sword villa now, he actually didn't take this promise seriously.
Most of these kinds of words are excuses on the scene, if someone else is replaced, most of them just use a few innocuous magic weapons to let him pick and choose. But unexpectedly, Xiao Chengxuan actually entered the Treasure Pavilion and let Feng Ci enter the selection.
"These..." Feng Ci stood outside the Treasure Pavilion, casually glanced at the magical treasures in the room, couldn't hold back, and swallowed in a very useless way, "Can you choose all of these?"
"Yes." Xiao Chengxuan said, "If Mr. Lu thinks that the value is not as good as the Huan Ling Ding, it's fine to pick two or three."
That's really generous.
There are high and low grades of magical artifacts, but their value is not limited to high or low grades.
After all, they are just utensils, all for human use.
The elixir and immortal grass that help cultivation, and the weapons that help increase the force, have always been more valuable than other magical tools.
This is the practical value of the magic weapon.
The Illusory Spirit Cauldron is a magic weapon left over from the war between humans and demons. Its grade can be regarded as the best, but when it comes to practical value, it is actually not that high.
This object is used for self-defense against enemies, but it is different from ordinary weapons because it is difficult to control.
Once the Phantom Spirit Cauldron traps a person, no matter whether it is a spell or an attack, it cannot release the person from the outside world, so it can be regarded as a murder weapon.
This thing was very useful during the great war back then, but now that the world has been peaceful for so many years, how can there be so many life and death enemies, it is worth using this thing
No matter how high its grade is, in terms of value, it is not as good as some treasures in this Treasure Pavilion.
"Master Xiao is so generous, I feel a little embarrassed." Feng Ci said.
Xiao Chengxuan also nodded lightly, and said in a low voice: "They are all belongings outside the body, not worth mentioning. These are treasures accumulated by several generations of villa owners, and it is useless to put them in the Treasure Pavilion. It is better to find someone who is destined for them."
Feng Ci: "If the owner wants to sell the treasures, Master Xue from Gusu is very interested in buying a batch of magic treasures."
Xiao Chengxuan obviously didn't expect that Feng Ci would introduce business to him with a book, and he was slightly taken aback.
"However, from my point of view, most of the treasures in this house are very precious, so it's a pity to sell them like this. And..." Feng Ci paused for a while before saying, "There are many things in this house that the owner will need soon. ,Is not it?"
Xiao Chengxuan frowned: "What do you mean useful?"
Feng Ci: "Naturally it is used to defend against the enemy."
The Magical Artifacts of this Treasure Pavilion are no worse than those of the Immortal League. If you use them all, and with the help of Feng Ci, it will not be difficult to defend against the enemy.
Xiao Chengxuan's expression changed completely: "Did you see the notice of Folding Sword Villa?"
Feng Ci nodded: "Well, that's it."
Xiao Chengxuan: "Didn't you come to Zhejian Villa for the magic weapon?"
"Although I like to collect treasures and magical artifacts, I'm not interested in seizing people." Feng Ci didn't go around in circles with him, and asked directly, "Zhejian Villa issued a notice, can someone from the Immortal Sect contact you, and would you like to defend against the enemy together? "
Xiao Chengxuan hesitated for a moment, but did not answer.
Feng Ci tentatively asked: "...there is no family?"
Xiao Chengxuan sighed.
Feng Ci is silent.
He thought that there should not be many people who dare to stand up, but he didn't expect that there was not even one family. Those cultivators are more cowardly than he imagined.
Feng Ci patted Xiao Chengxuan's shoulder, comfortingly said: "It's okay, I can help you."
Xiao Chengxuan looked at him, his expression was even more indescribable than before.
Feng Ci: "..."
Does he seem so unreliable
Xiao Chengxuan didn't say much, but politely refused: "Folding Sword Villa doesn't intend to implicate anyone, son, after selecting the magic weapon, it's better to leave as soon as possible."
Feng Ci: "You—"
Xiao Chengxuan raised his hand: "Please."
Feng Ci had no choice but to follow him to the Treasure Pavilion.
In fact, Xiao Chengxuan can't be blamed for not trusting him.
Feng Ci's current physical body can only be seen as more than ten years old, and he is about the same age as the young master from Zhejian Villa, and because of his handsome appearance, he looks younger than his actual age.
No one will trust you.
If Pei Qianyue was by his side, it shouldn't be like this now.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Pei Qianyue's face looked very trustworthy.
Feng Ci raised his hand, his plain white sleeves shook off, revealing the little black snake on his wrist.
The little black snake didn't care what Feng Ci and Xiao Chengxuan were talking about at all, the whole snake was wrapped around Feng Ci's wrist, and its tail brushed his wrist one by one, exuding a sense of leisurely enjoyment.
Even comfortable enough to be a little drowsy.
Seeing Fengci's teeth itch.
He's here to worry about the world of comprehension, and now he's still being suspected, this bastard is quite at ease.
Who is the leader of the Immortal Alliance? ?
Sensing his raising his hand, the little black snake condescended and raised its head.
Also slightly crooked.
"It's okay." Feng Ci said to him, "You sleep on your bed."
His face was very gentle, and the little black snake couldn't help shaking.
For no reason gave birth to an ominous premonition.
But before he could react, Feng Ci pulled his sleeves neatly and put him back in the sleeves.
