dream of you

"Bang bang bang, young master! Young master!!" Li Zhi jumped up from the bed, heard Li Ye's shout clearly, rubbed her face with both hands vigorously, and walked out of the room.

Li Ye looked at Li Zhi anxiously, and was obviously relieved to see Li Zhi standing in front of him properly.

Li Zhi was woken up, a little irritable, frowned, but her tone was the same as usual: "What happened?"

Li Ye said: "Xiao Ye saw that the young master has not come out for a long time, the gate is not closed, and there is a large pool of blood inexplicably in the Huazhi Lane next door. I am afraid that something will happen to the young master, so..."

Huazhi Alley, Li Zhi thought about it, probably it was the endless alley last night, the door was not closed?Uh... I guess it was an oversight last night.

Li Zhi patted Li Ye's shoulder embarrassingly, and said, "I'm fine, I just forgot to turn it off when I came back from going out last night."

Li Ye's expression changed drastically when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "Master, did you go out last night? Xiaoye turned off the lights at Haishi last night, and I didn't realize that you have gone out. When did you go out?"

"Zi...Zi Shi." Li Zhi raised his fist to his mouth, and said vaguely, a little guilty.

Li Ye almost opened his phoenix eyes, and looked around Li Zhi carefully in shock, before he said: "During Zhongyuanzi, a hundred ghosts walked at night, and you were not allowed to go out. This is a rule everywhere, my lord. To go out and still be safe and sound, does the blood really have nothing to do with the young master?"

"Uh...Actually..." Li Zhi couldn't tell the truth, so he simply told about his experience last night.

After listening to Li Zhi's narration, Li Ye's face was still in shock, and after confirming that Li Zhi was indeed fine, he let go of his concerns and said, "Fortunately, the young master probably met a passing immortal cultivator, and he rescued him so that he was able to recover from the illness." And retreat. Otherwise..."

Li Zhi comforted Li Ye, then went back to her room to catch up on sleep.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already dark, and various noisy voices came from my ears.

Li Zhi remembered that there was a flower burial ceremony coming up tonight, so she tidied up and went out to join in the fun.

From the very first day, Li Zhi knew that Moshang Yingyou was a bustling town, but what he didn't expect was that the flood of tourists could make such a town even more prosperous.

People in all kinds of clothes come and go, everyone has a smile on their faces, and many girls and children wear various masks on their faces, playing and playing, adding vitality to this small town.

There was melodious music not far away, and the crowded crowd moved away spontaneously to both sides of the street. Everyone looked at the place where the music was coming from with full eyes. The noise subsided, and the whole street was filled with a peaceful and pious atmosphere. atmosphere.

The music is getting closer and closer, accompanied by the soft "grunt" of the wheels turning.

Li Zhi squeezed to the front of the crowd, and what she saw was a slowly approaching carriage pulled by two snow-white horses. The white horse wore a headdress made of gemstones, and was led forward by two teenagers in white clothes.

There is no carriage on the carriage, but a pot of blooming... cherry blossoms.

A girl dressed in pink stood on a carriage and danced around the cherry blossoms. The pink translucent veil covered the girl's pretty face the size of a palm, but her graceful figure would not make people have any unclean thoughts .

On both sides of the carriage were followed two girls also in pink, with big pink cloaks covering their heads, their youthful faces full of piousness, bowing their heads and softly singing ancient hymns. Behind the carriage was A row of neat bands, plain white gowns, playing simple music...

As the music faded away, the streets became noisy again.

It took a long time for Li Zhi to recover from the shock from the bottom of her heart just now.

Walking to the little paper figurine stall not far away, it was still the same stall owner last time, and the two little paper figurines were still there, but this time it was not a sumo duel.

After watching for a while, I realized that they seemed to be... hopping.

The more Li Zhi watched, the more she felt that the two little paper figurines were very cute and interesting, so she said to the stall owner, "Boss, how do you sell these paper figurines?"

Who would have thought that as soon as the words were spoken, the two little paper figurines stopped and hugged each other quickly, as if they were still trembling, and the stall owner also asked in a daze, "What?"

Li Zhi was a little surprised, but he repeated what he said just now, and the stall owner's face immediately turned pale, and he said bluntly, "Not for sale! Not for any amount of money!"

Li Zhi felt even more strange, wouldn't she sell it?What kind of stall is that?Then he asked again: "Ah? Why? Then what do you sell at this stall?"

The stall owner got angry and said viciously: "These two are my own sons! How can they be sold! We working people have morals! Performing art is not selling oneself!"

Only then did Li Zhi see a small porcelain bowl on the right side of the stall with loose money in it. It was an acrobatic performance for the feelings, the rich would win the money, and the poor would win the individual.

Li Zhi suddenly felt that what she said just now was very inappropriate, apologized repeatedly, put a lot of money in the bowl, and then left.

Is it an illusion that there is a line of sight that follows me all the time?

After a while, Li Zhi's eyes were still glued to her body, Li Zhi suddenly turned around and looked around.

An old man with disheveled hair and coarse short clothes bumped into Li Zhi's eyes, so straight in his eyes that he didn't even try to hide it.

For sure, it was him!

Relying on the large number of people, Li Zhi walked towards the man sitting on a small bench. When the man saw Li Zhi approaching, he didn't blink his eyes, but opened his mouth and smiled.

"Old man, do you know me? Why do you keep staring at me?" Li Zhi asked, squatting down.

The old man straightened his face, and said seriously: "Little brother, I see that your bones are amazing and different from ordinary people. You are a unique talent in cultivating immortals. As the saying goes, if I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell... "

These words sounded so familiar, and Li Zhi couldn't help but continue: "In the future, I will be entrusted with the task of presiding over human justice and maintaining world peace! Do you have a cheat book called "The Palm of the Tathagata"? It is a priceless treasure. Destiny, would you like to sell it to me for ten yuan?"

The old man squeezed the goatee on his chin, and laughed loudly "hahaha", Li Zhi looked at him blankly.

The old gentleman finished laughing, and then said: "I don't have any martial arts cheats to sell to you, I just want to take you as an apprentice, I wonder if you are willing?"

Li Zhi was even more at a loss. The slovenly old gentleman in front of him didn't look like a cultivator of immortals, nor of a cultivator of ghosts. Could it be that he was a legendary master who didn't show his face?

Just when he was about to decline, Li Zhi felt a large shadow covering him, and a cold voice sounded behind Li Zhi: "Master Uncle."

Li Zhi turned her head in a daze, the person standing behind her was indeed her savior!

"Third Master Uncle." There was another clear voice and a gentle voice sounded at the same time.

Seeing that the three of them bowed their heads respectfully in his direction, Li Zhi didn't understand why.

"Huh? How do you recognize me?" The old gentleman opened his mouth.

Li Zhi was shocked, this...the person who just said that he wanted to take me as an apprentice...is actually my benefactor's uncle!

"Intuition." The still short words made the old man show a deflated expression.

"Ahem...well, in other words, why did you come to Yingyou City?" The old man forcibly changed the subject.

"Cherry Blossom Festival, escort mother Sakura."

"Oh, come to think of it, this year it's our turn to guard the mother cherry, so we sent you here. It seems that everything is going well." The old man waved to them and said, "Don't look at me, what should you do?" Why go, I'm busy!"

The clear voice seemed to have just seen Li Zhi, pointing at him and saying, "Huh? Isn't this young man the one who was almost swallowed yesterday?"

"Xing Heng, I'm sorry." Said in a gentle voice, and bowed to Li Zhi again to express his apology.

Li Zhi followed with a salute, and said sincerely: "Last night, thank you three for your help. Before I can thank you, you all left. I was rude."

The old gentleman said with a smile: "It's so, we meet by fate, let's go have a cup of tea?"

Li Zhi couldn't ask for more, and nodded to the three of them several times: "Yeah, please do respect the three of them."

Siming Zhai was still full on such a day, so Li Zhi took everyone to his pastry shop and entered the tea room in the inner room. After inviting a few people to sit down, he ordered people to make tea and serve pastries, saying embarrassingly : "Sorry, there are no more seats in the teahouse, so I can only entertain you here."

"It's okay, it's okay." Several people didn't pay attention.

"By the way, it's time for a formal introduction." The old gentleman took a piece of pastry, took a bite and said vaguely, "My name is Jian Shengxuan, and these three are Jian Tianshu, Jian Xingheng, and my nephew."

Li Zhi followed the old man's instructions and looked at the three of them one by one. The benefactor, with a warm voice and a clear voice, was finally able to call the three of them famous.

simple?Thinking about it this way, it was the Jian family in Floating Life City.

Li Zhi poured a cup of tea for everyone, and introduced herself, "I'm Li Zhi."

"By the way, you haven't replied to me yet. Do you want to be my apprentice?" As soon as the old man said this, all three people except Li Zhi looked at Li Zhi. The surprise on the faces of Jian Xingheng and Jian Tianshu was obvious. Instead, he looked calm.

Li Zhi didn't understand, so if you can have a master, can't your uncle have an apprentice?Although he was slandering in his heart, he couldn't show it on the face, Li Zhi said: "Senior Jian, it's a bit sudden, I haven't thought about it yet. Besides, we met by chance, why did you catch my eye in the crowd?"

"You are very special." Jian Shengxuan threw out such a sentence solemnly.

Li Zhi couldn't figure it out, and wanted to ask what was special about it, but remembered what he said earlier about the skeleton being strange and different from ordinary people, so she stopped talking.

Jian Shengxuan saw that Li Zhi didn't respond, and said again: "If you don't learn some fairy arts, you probably won't live long after leaving the barrier of Yingyou City. You also met last night. You will almost be eaten if you enter the door. But if you enter my door, those little monsters will do nothing to you."

Recalling the experience of last night, Li Zhi felt goosebumps all over her body again. It seems great to learn fairy arts from Jane's words!

Thinking of this, Li Zhi was very moved, and looked at Jian Yan who was silently eating cakes, thinking of last night's dream, a slight blush appeared on his face, he struggled for a while, and finally agreed.

Jian Shengxuan was very happy, and said: "Well, from now on, you, Li Zhi, will be my disciple of Jian Shengxuan, and the apprenticeship ceremony will be done after returning to Fushengyique. Pack up and go with your teacher tomorrow morning."

"Tomorrow morning? I'm afraid it won't work. I need some time to arrange things. Can I do it in the afternoon, Master?" Li Zhi begged.

"That's fine, but you guys have to leave early in the morning, so we can't go all the way." Jian Shengxuan said to Jian Yanzhi and the three of them.

"Yes, go back and report to your life." Simply replied.

Li Zhi felt a little regretful that he couldn't go together, but when he thought that he would be a disciple of Jian's family in the future, the joy in his heart still overwhelmed that little regret.
