I practice ruthless way

The other three pairs of eyes also looked over, with nervousness, surprise, and worry in their eyes.Under the watchful eyes, Xiao Man chewed slowly, and the candles on the table flickered several times. He put down his chopsticks, swallowed the sliced ​​meat, and said, "The taste is very ordinary."

Qu Hanxing stared wide-eyed, with an expression of "That's it?"

"It was indeed drugged, but it wasn't poisonous, it was just some crotons." Xiao Man said his conclusion, "There is indeed spiritual energy, which is very strange, it is just an ordinary food, not some spiritual plant Or spirit beast meat."

As soon as this remark came out, Mo Juntian said, "I'll try it too", holding up chopsticks for Wei Chuyun to try in a steady manner.Seeing them like this, Shitang's eyes lit up and he became interested, but Xiao Man quickly grabbed them and pushed them back on the stool.

Xiao Man shook his head at her, "Crotons have been planted in it after all, we'll be fine if we eat it, but you can't."

"Hey, it would be great if I was also a cultivator." Shitang looked disappointed.

Seeing Mo Juntian and Wei Chuyun eating food as usual, he said again: "When I was young, I accidentally approached Buwen Zhong once because I was chasing a cat. At that time, I thought I had the talent for cultivation."

"Maybe there will be some opportunities in the future, and then I will naturally be enlightened." Qu Hanxing comforted her.

Shitang said: "I'd better pray for the afterlife." After saying that, she closed her eyes and clasped her hands together.

"There is a bit of aura hidden in every dish, including rice." Wei Chuyun tasted four dishes and one soup, put down the bamboo chopsticks, and said in a low voice.

Mo Juntian also tasted all the food and said, "But there is no croton in the rice."

Everyone's attention returned to the meal.The candlelight flickered between the tables and cases, casting half light and half shadow, the four dishes and one soup looked a little weird.

Xiao Man pondered for a while, and the scene of Rong Yuan cooking in the corner of the courtyard on Xueyi Peak emerged in his mind, and he came up with scattered thoughts: "Whether cooking or steaming, water is used, could it be the aura in the water? "

"In this way, there is spiritual energy in the tea?" Qu Hanxing immediately poured out a cup of tea, raised his head to drink it up, and "hissed" again, "——There really is!"

Everyone turned up the teacups on the table and poured out tea.

Shitang was eager to try again: "Can I drink?"

Xiao Man poured her a glass: "This is fine."

After drinking, Mo Juntian wondered: "Is Shenjing City so luxurious, even the water has aura."

There are no natives here or people who have lived in Shenjing, so naturally they can't give an answer.

"The water is drawn from the well, and the well is connected to the river. Could it be that the whole river is full of spiritual energy?" Qu Hanxing tried to speculate.

Xiao Man shook his head: "If a river is full of aura, we should have noticed it when we were in the sky above Shenjing."

Qu Hanxing got up, walked around the narrow room twice, and came up with another deduction: "In this way, there is spiritual energy at the bottom... Could it be that there are spiritual stones at the bottom of the river?"

"I don't think so. If this is the case, there have been rumors in Jianghu." Wei Chuyun was the one who refuted.After a slight pause, he added: "Even if Shenjing deliberately conceals it, the big families and sects will always get wind of it."

"It's inexplicable." Qu Hanxing frowned slightly, and after a while, he relaxed, and said with a smile: "But it's not a bad thing after all."

Xiao Man said in a low voice, "I hope so".

It was getting late, Wei Chuyun and Qu Hanxing bid farewell and left, and went to the back yard to complete the errands they had agreed upon.Shitang released the screen and asked Xiao Man to perform a cleansing technique on her. After washing away all the dust, she lay down on the bed.

Mo Juntian threw the croton-filled food box outside, and found that in an open space a little far away, Qian Sanma Wu Zhaoliu and several fellow practitioners were practicing swords, he couldn't help but change into men's clothes. Lift the sword in the past.

Xiao Man didn't stay in the house for long either, after reading a few pages of the book, he got up and went outside.

It's been a while since they returned to the post house, just now they were still making noises, they all extinguished the lights and rested, the girls returning from the sleeve dance got better after drinking the soup, and they stopped going in and out of Gong's room frequently.

It was quiet all around, lowered your eyes and listened carefully, there was a faint sound of swords in the wind.

Xiao Man didn't practice his sword, he walked out of the post house along a small path, and walked to the street full of moonlight and the voice of people gradually silencing.

The streets of Shenjing are different from those of Yuntai Town.

Although the town is lively, it is far less prosperous than the imperial city.The road here is wide and flat enough to accommodate four horse-drawn carriages. There are no small gravels or weeds growing randomly on the road, and there is very little moss at the base of the walls.

The silt used to build the walls is of the highest quality, and even the flowers protruding from the walls are rich; the tiles on the eaves are neatly arranged, so no household will worry about rain leakage.

He walked under the moon, and the moon followed his head. His steps were slow and his direction was random.

When turning a corner, a dragonfly made of bamboo hanging down suddenly appeared in front of it.

There is a bell attached to this thing, and as it shakes, it makes a crisp sound.

jingle--

Xiao Man stopped in his tracks, complex emotions flashed across his eyes, he stared at the dragonfly for a while, then followed the slender bamboo pole on which the dragonfly was hanging, and looked at the person holding the pole.

Yan Wushu was sitting on the wall, his black robe and silver-frost hair fluttering in the wind, the moonlight shone on his face, there was a little smile in his eyes, he looked a little lazy.

Seeing Xiao Man looking over, he shook the bamboo pole again.

jingle-

Maybe it's because the moonlight is very good, maybe it's because the bamboo dragonfly's craftsmanship is very good, maybe it's because Shenjing City, which has been noisy for a long time, is finally quiet. Come to Shenjing at this time."

"I didn't expect to come to Shenjing with you in this way." Yan Wushu said in a low voice.

Xiao Man walked around the bamboo dragonfly in front of him, rolled up his sleeves, and continued walking forward.

Yan Wushu moved his position silently, sat on the other side of the wall, obliquely in front of Xiao Man, shook the bamboo dragonfly, and asked, "Don't you like this?"

Xiao Manxin said that if I say I don't like it, can you come up with something else?No answer.

Unexpectedly, Yan Wushu really changed it, and took out a bamboo deer.The horns of the deer's head are made of pruned branches, and the eyes are dotted with two black beans, which looks lifelike.

Xiao Man likes deer antlers, even the deer, otherwise he would not agree to hide it in the Buddhist beads after dispelling the demon nature for Fu Zhu that day.

But Xiao Man didn't like what Yan Wushu gave him anymore, no matter what this person wanted to give him.But he thought of another thing, finally stopped, turned his head slightly, and looked at Yan Wushu.

"You should have heard our discussion just now." Xiao Man said.

This is actually a problem.

Yan Wushu was silent for a while, and then said: "Although Shenjing is the capital city, it is not so proud that ordinary well water contains spiritual energy." He answered Xiao Manyan's question, and then said:

"Don't scrutinize."

These words made Xiao Man frowned indistinctly.He raised his hand and touched his chin, and asked: "It's what you said before, will Shenjing be uneasy?"

"I can get that girl to dance at the Famous Flowers Palace." Yan Wushu answered irrelevantly.

"You don't need your help in this matter." Xiao Man refused without thinking.

Yan Wushu lowered his eyes and said to Xiao Man: "Something is going to happen in Shenjing City, I'm afraid you will be in danger."

His voice was very soft, seemingly helpless, mixed with indescribable tenderness.

Not far away, a family whispered in their dreams, and a dog somewhere was startled and started barking, adding to the noise in the night.

Suddenly, Xiao Man smelled a faint aura that belonged to others in Yan Wushu.

Yes, the smell is not the smell, it doesn't smell very good, it's a bit evil, and it's inexplicably similar to the three people who died by retrograde spiritual power at the tea shed at the entrance of Yuntai Town that day.

"Who did you kill again?" Xiao Man narrowed his eyes slightly.

Yan Wushu was startled for a moment, then smiled disapprovingly: "A few annoying ones."

Xiao Manshun did not stare at him for a moment: "Did you hear the news and come to snatch the bell?"

Yan Wushu closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Silence is precisely the most affirmative answer.

"There are still many people who secretly covet not hearing the bell. These days, Shenjing City is undercurrents and turbulent. Complete the conditions put forward by that little girl early and return to Gushan." Yan Wushu said back to the previous topic, and there was a little urging in his tone "Otherwise you may be in danger."

At this moment, Xiao Manji wanted to ask him back: Are you also afraid that I will be in danger?

You said that you were afraid that I would be in danger and wouldn't let me participate in that year's battle of Taoism, but then what happened to me?

Why do you want to protect me so much?

The passing Xiaofeng calmed him down.

Seeing the slender bamboo pole gently shaking up and down in Yan Wushu's hand, Xiao Man pursed his lower lip and said, "If something really happens, everyone in this city will be in danger."

Then he added: "I know you don't want to meddle in the affairs of the imperial city, if I am really involved, you don't need to take action."

Surprise flashed in Yan Wushu's eyes. He was surprised that Xiao Man knew him so well before he told Xiao Man. At the same time, he was a little angry because Xiao Man said to him in a cold tone, you don't need to act in times of crisis. .

What is their relationship?

Life was decided three years ago.

Yan Wushu squeezed the bamboo pole with a little force, but the next moment, he found a stubbornness hidden in Xiao Man's eyes.

The moonlight was melting and the long street was deep. His light clothes were cold and cold, and his waist was extremely thin, as if it would break if it was folded a little, but he stood tall and straight here, letting the night wind blow.

When we first met, he was so thin and small, but suddenly, he grew so big.

Yan Wushu's heart softened, and he said in a low voice: "This is your training task, I offered to help, I broke the rules, but if you are really in danger, I will not stand idly by."
