[Ancient Sword II] Morning Light Shadow

The lord of the city, Jumu, is in a deep sleep. In name, Cangming is still the ruler of Liuyue City, but in reality, she trusts the high priest, Shen Ye, to lead the affairs of the whole city. When Cangming wakes up, he will go to the forbidden area to report the latest situation and various board initiatives.

Due to the rebellion at the previous succession ceremony, the heads of many confidential positions in the city were implicated and dismissed, leaving many vacancies.Although Shen Ji had already begun to train capable subordinates for Shen Ye during his lifetime—such as Hua Yue, his foundation was not as good as that of the city lords who had been in power for many years. There are still many small tasks that need to be done by Ziwei High Priest himself.

Therefore, Shen Xi, who reads books and plays bugs every day and occasionally instigates the priests of Tianfu to sneak out and wander around, was also caught by his biological brother one day.However, Shen Xi's spiritual power is not obvious, and she has always maintained the appearance of a nine-year-old girl. If she is appointed to a position in the temple, she may leave an excuse... After a little thought, Shen Ye came up with an idea.

Ziwei Palace began to go up to Jumu Forbidden Area from the silence, usually except for Shen Ye and a few of his confidantes, it is strictly forbidden to enter, but Shen Xi is not on the forbidden list, and has a very good friendship with Cangming , Shen Ye handed over to her the job of irregularly reporting major and minor matters to Cang Ming.

"What is Xiaoxi thinking, so lost in thought?"

Hearing Cangming's question with doubts, Shen Xi shook her head...it was just a guess, and if she said it now, it was just to make Cangming worry in vain.

"I was thinking about the new batch of apprentices who came to the temple a few days ago." Shen Xi pointed to the scrolls in his arms, one of which was about the new apprentices of the temple, "My brother said that there are many children in this batch of children. Few people have good aptitude, and I plan to choose one of them to earn the door..."

"Planning to accept disciples so early?"

Cangming was very surprised.Shen Ye has just become the high priest, and he is not very old. Although he was once critically ill due to illness, he has already recovered. Even if he has his eyes on a child's aptitude, he doesn't have to make a decision now... Wait?

"...Could it be Ah Ye...?"

"Hey, I was noticed by my sister..." Shen Xi nodded lightly, affirming Cangming's guess, "The symptoms are very mild, and my brother said that it won't be a problem to survive for decades, so he won't let me tell others, but My sister guessed it myself, I didn't betray my brother."

"Could it be the day of the succession ceremony..."

On the day when Shen Ye succeeded Ziwei High Priest, Cangming was in a deep sleep, but the battle that broke out in the square below was so fierce that even she was awakened by the clashing spiritual power... From this, it can be imagined that Shen Ye was in a deep sleep at that time. It must have mobilized the power of the blood in the body to suppress the rebellion.

Thinking of this incident, Cang Ming couldn't help looking at Shen Xi.

——Suddenly able to speak, it seems that it also started on the day of the succession ceremony?

"What about you, Xiaoxi, how are you feeling recently?"

Shen Xi knew that Cang Ming was worried that she was able to speak because she had used the power of divine blood. However, since she left Jumu, she hadn't used any spiritual power. What about the power of blood?

Speaking of the divine blood, she had previously suggested that Shen Ye should enter the Jumu core again for treatment, but Shen Ye refused on the grounds that the power of the divine blood was fading and could not be consumed again.

Thinking about it carefully, in fact, Cangming possessed Jumu and couldn't move freely. Could it be because when she entered the core of Jumu, the divine blood had already been consumed too much, and her disease could not be completely cured?It doesn't make sense that he and his elder brother who entered Jumu's core a few months earlier than Cangming were cured of their illnesses. When Cangming took the next step to receive treatment, his strength was insufficient.Could it be that something happened between the two treatments that consumed a lot of divine blood?

"... Does Xiaoxi have something on her mind? Why is she so absent-minded today?"

Shen Xi quickly put aside the speculation about the blood of the gods, and smiled: "I was thinking, how could I suddenly be able to talk that day... I took so many medicines before but it didn't work, but I saw the rabbit doll my brother gave me The flute I gave you with my father was broken, and when I get angry, I can make a sound somehow..."

——It’s like unlocking a genetic lock.

"Can the spiritual power be restored?"

"It's still the same as before, and it doesn't work at all."

Seeing Shen Xi's clueless appearance, Cang Ming couldn't think of other possibilities, so he could only sigh: "Let's persuade Ah Ye, it's always good to be healthy."

Shen Xi turned his head expressionlessly: "He has given up treatment himself, what can I do? Should he be knocked out and thrown into the wooden core?"

"...This method is not impossible...but who else can subdue Ah Ye now?"

The person who is stronger than Shen Ye in theory and in reality is definitely Cang Ming, but now she is trapped in the tree, and it is inconvenient for her to move. If she really wants to do it, Shen Ye will go around behind the tree directly, and she will have nothing to do.

"I can't find it yet..." Shen Xi looked unhappy, "Maybe you can wait, anyway, it's not serious enough to require treatment, maybe in a few years there will be a master who can beat the party with one hand my brother?"

"..."

Cang Ming felt that it would be better for his physical and mental health to continue to sleep.

When talking and laughing with Cangming, there was a look of indifference on his face, and he also knew that as long as he didn't use a lot of advanced spells, Shen Ye's old illness would not continue to worsen, but Shen Xi really made himself deceive himself into thinking that his brother was not as healthy It's delicious and delicious... She's not that heartless.

"I said, what's the matter with you these days?"

Even if he was as heartless as Congyang, after several days in a row, Shen Xi made his heart shudder.

"Didn't you say that cutting people is disgusting and you dare not look at it? Even the test of the ice silkworm Gu made me stuff the internal organs back to close the knife? Why can't I drive it away now?"

Shen Xi rolled her eyes: "I'm not here to see internal organs, I'm here to see people."

"Looking at people?" Cong Yangxin said that this person doesn't seem to be a womanizer, and then he had a flash of inspiration, as if he had been struck by lightning, "Don't tell me you have a crush on my master?!"

"...This made my brother know. Do you believe he could crush you to death with one finger??"

"Shen Xi, you are so arrogant in front of me, your brother knows... Forget it, I know that you are so arrogant because of your brother's backing..."

"If you know it, ask, are you brainless?" Shen Xi despised her with a Tuzki face.

"...I can't say that you can do it anyway..."

Cong Yang decisively changed the subject, "What do you want to follow me every day? Don't say you are in love with me. If you really want to do this, I will definitely be crushed to death by your brother!"

Tuzki's face moved and turned into Xiongji's face: "I just want to know if the method of cutting off the diseased part and replacing it with Yanjia can be popularized."

Cong Yang really wanted to spray Shen Xi with blood all over his face: "Stop making trouble, what normal person would throw away his limbs and replace them with wood if they weren't rotten to the bone? Don't you think it's not uncomfortable if you don't pay attention and get bloody? My master uses a wheelchair every day, and even when it's cloudy, it often hurts!"

So Shen Xi decided to give up the idea of ​​replacing festered limbs with Yanjia prosthetics.

Seeing his younger sister and the priest of Tianfu talking vigorously from a distance, Shen Ye shuddered for no reason.

"Master, did you catch a cold?"

The boy behind Shen Ye was similar in stature to Shen Xi, dressed in the attire of a low-ranking priest, obviously he had just entered the temple not long ago.Following Shen Ye's line of sight, he happened to see Cong Yang stretching out his paws to rub Shen Xi's face.

"no……"

Seeing the little apprentice looking over there, Shen Ye's face darkened.

"Xie Yi, remember what you said as a teacher, don't deal with Congyang if you have nothing to do, otherwise there is no cure for becoming stupid."

"Uh..." The young man replied in a ignorant manner, and obediently looked away, "Have the priests of Tianfu also accepted apprentices? There are no girls in our group who entered the temple?"

"...that's my sister!" Shen Ye gritted her teeth.

"..."

In his 11-year-old life, for the first time, he saw the appearance of a noble, glamorous, solitary, high-moon-like high priest with fried hair. The young Xie Yi was suddenly worried that he would be silenced by his master if he saw too much and knew too much...
