Jiangshan Yingqiluo

In the blink of an eye, it was summer, and the plum trees became luxuriant. Apart from practicing, Chunyu hid under the leaves to enjoy the shade.

The gardener in the General's Mansion watered him a little every day, repaired his branches, and sometimes buried some fermented soybeans for him to make fertilizer.Chunyu's spiritual body has grown significantly under such nourishment, and can be more than ten feet away from the plum tree.

He has never forgotten the matter of studying. He begged Kingfisher several times before but was rejected. This time, he walked into the bookstore as soon as he could leave the plum tree.

Normally, no one was taking care of the bookstore, and the books were covered with a thin layer of dust. Chun Yu, who usually likes to be clean, didn't care at all at this time.

His spirit body tends to materialize. Although he can't completely transform into a human form, he can still flip through the books.As long as he is careful not to be seen, he can read books in the Book Pavilion with peace of mind

Chun Yu has never studied orthodox knowledge, but because of his spiritual wisdom, he knows all characters in the world.But it was limited to talking and watching, if he was really asked to say something, he didn't know where to start.

The pen and ink on the book seem to still have a fragrance, which makes Chunyu a little intoxicated.

Turning through a few pages casually, it is really impressive that the words he knows can be combined into such a wonderful and profound article.

He made up his mind to study hard.

In addition to the books about local conditions and customs, most of the books in the bookstore are about the law of war and the rule of law.During the day, he hides in the plum body to practice, and at night, he sneaks into the bookstore to read poems and books widely.

However, he is only a monster after all, and he has no knowledge of everything in the world, nor can he understand the way of scholarship and the supreme art of war.His reading is really limited to remembering, and he doesn't know how to use it.

Gradually, Chunyu saw more and more things, and remembered more and more things in his mind.His cultivation has not been neglected, and reading has become a habit.The days passed through summer and autumn, but Jiang Qing still didn't come back.

Chunyu suddenly felt that he missed that general very much.

I don't know if he is doing well or not.

Another year of heavy snow is coming.

Chunyu's spiritual body finally condensed into a solid body, climbing trees to pick flowers is no problem, and she can hold Wang Qingquan from the pond to water her own body.His sorcery is also becoming more and more powerful, and he can freely hide his whereabouts.

Chun Yu felt extremely happy, which also showed that he was not far from the real transformation.Not long after, he took out the aura from Mei's body and refined it into a jade pendant, which can be transformed between people and Mei without being restrained by the main body.

He turned into an ordinary person, dressed in ordinary clothes, and ran to the street to buy all kinds of food.As for how the money came from, Chun Yu said that the touch of gold is really easy to use.

After reciting a mantra on the flower bud, a few copper coins appeared in the palm of his hand. Chun Yu frowned, shrunk his spirit body and sat on the plum leaf, breathed a sigh of relief, and floated out of the general's mansion.

The plum leaves floated unsteadily to the street and landed by the river.Chun Yu quickly crawled out of the leaves, ran into the alley, and took human form when no one was paying attention, and then walked out of the alley carelessly.

Today is the middle of the month, there are a lot of people on the street, vendors and walkers are scattered on both sides of the street, bustling.Chun Yu wanted to eat candied haws for a long time, he had eaten it once before, and he liked it very much, sour and sweet, but later the vendor who sold candied haws got sick and closed his business at home, so he never had it again.

Chun Yu jumped up and down and ran to the vendors, chose the one he thought was the biggest, gave him two copper coins, and ran away.

The temple in the city is built on the east side, just at the end of this street, next to a bamboo forest.

Chunyu bought a bunch of candied haws, a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and some small oranges with the copper coins of the buds.The store wrapped him up in oiled paper, and Chun Yu carefully ran deep into the bamboo forest with the food in his arms.

Pull aside the bamboo leaves, there is a small wooden stake inside, this is Chun Yu's secret base.Carefully placing the food on the stake, Chunyu returned to a small spirit body, lying on the candied haws and licking vigorously.

He felt that since he was small and had a small mouth, the candied haws would not be eaten in two or three bites, but could be tasted for a long time, enough for him to taste for a long time.

The small bamboo grove, mixed with sweetness and aroma, Chun Yu, who was feasting on it, did not expect that he would get into a lot of trouble.

To say that there is a big shortcoming of this gold technique.No matter how strong the demon power is, the money transformed by alchemy will eventually reveal its original shape.What's more, how powerful is Chun Yu, a monster who has just cultivated in a small way?Those merchants who received his copper coins would soon find that a few copper coins were missing from the wallet and replaced by a few dry and flat flower buds.

Yueban's business is booming, a few copper coins are nothing, and the traders don't care much.It's just that this matter was not deliberately concealed. When the vendors chatted in their spare time, they often passed it by lip service.

However, they didn't care, but people listened to it and kept it in their hearts.

Die Xiaojun, who just came down from Yunqing Palace, follows his teacher's order to travel around the world.He had just arrived in Kongsang not long ago, and stayed here for a few days to rest up and plan to go to Hezhou, but he heard such a strange thing from a vendor before departure.

"Bosses, can I borrow that flower from my little friend?"

Die Xiaojun looks handsome, has a kind face, and speaks softly like water, so it is easy to win the favor of others.Although the vendors didn't care, they were also curious about the reason, so Die Xiaojun made this request, and everyone took out the flower buds in the purse and gave them to him.

"Just take it, Taoist priest."

Die Xiaojun nodded, thanked everyone, and left calmly with a handkerchief in his hand.

Back at the inn, Die Xiaojun took out his magic weapon, ready to find out the true colors of these flower buds.

His magical weapon is a mirror of Yinchuan, which can find out the incarnations of all monsters in the human world.Die Xiaojun's job is not fighting, but an auxiliary system. From this, it can be seen that this magic weapon is not offensive, but it is an indispensable thing for the old masters who slay demons and demons.

Die Xiaojun put the flower buds into the teacup, and the dry and flat petals stretched after sucking some water.Die Xiaojun looked at the teacup in the Mirror of Yinchuan in this way, and a plum tree appeared on the other side of the mirror.Die Xiaojun smiled and took out another small magic weapon from the bag, took out the flower buds and put it in the middle.

This small magical instrument is shaped like a golden lotus, with eight petals pointing in all directions, and is used to spy on the monsters.As soon as the buds were placed on the top, a golden light shot out from the lotus petals facing east, and Die Xiaojun said triumphantly, "I caught you."

Die Xiaojun followed the direction pointed by Jinlian and came all the way to the bamboo forest outside the temple.At this time, the sky was full of sunset, so he had no choice but to quicken his pace and follow the golden light to walk in.

As soon as the golden light entered the depths of the bamboo forest, it disappeared, and Die Xiaojun knew that the plum tree was nearby.He put away the golden lotus, replaced it with a small wooden knife with Yunqing Palace spells printed on it, and searched for it quietly.

There is a scent in the bamboo forest, like honey and floral.Die Xiaojun sniffed, and suddenly felt a little hungry. He pushed aside the bamboo leaves and said to himself: "This fragrance..."

"Crackling..." Die Xiaojun was startled by the sudden sound. He took a closer look and saw that there were some food on the wooden stake in the middle, and the plum demon he was looking for was lying on it. Feast on it.

Die Xiaojun rubbed his head, he thought it was some kind of big monster, but it turned out to be a little monster who just cultivated into transformation.Putting away the small wooden knife, Die Xiaojun found a place to sit down, looked at the little monster who didn't notice him at all, and asked in a soft voice, "little guy, how old are you?"

The sudden voice was as cold as snow, and Chunyu was startled suddenly, and fell off the candied haws.He didn't have enough spiritual breath, he didn't notice Die Xiaojun's approach, this fall made his eyes stare, it was very ruthless.

Chun Yu stood up staggeringly with her head in her arms, with spring water in her eyes, she stared at Die Xiaojun, complaining all over her eyes.Die Xiaojun had never seen such a posture before, so she had no choice but to approach Chunyu and rub his head for him.

"It didn't hurt, did it?"

Chun Yu puffed up her cheeks, Nuo Nuo said, "Why are you scaring me?"

Die Xiaojun poked his little head, and said with a smile: "It's not because your magic is not good, and the golden touch failed."

Chun Yu bit her lip and said in a muffled voice, "I...I didn't want to do anything bad, I just... I'm hungry."

Seeing his innocent face, Die Xiaojun softened his voice and reasoned with him, "You were discovered by me. If other Taoist priests want to catch you, you won't be able to fly out even if you have a pair of wings." .”

"Brother," Chun Yu seemed to understand, he had never met a Taoist priest, and the books he read mainly focused on the art of governance and warfare, so he didn't understand such things as [eliminating demons and defending the way].However, he instinctively felt that Die Xiaojun was very powerful and terrifying, which awed him.

"Will my brother take me back?"

Die Xiaojun stared into his eyes, rubbed his hair for a while, and said: "Brother just came to see, which little monster is greedy for food."

Hearing what he said, Chunyu gradually relaxed, and sat down on the wooden stake, his voice became cheerful and clear: "My name is Chunyu, Chun of Chun, Yu of Feather."

"My name is Die Xiaojun."

Poor sitting posture probably caused numbness in the legs, Die Xiaojun stood up, moved a position, turned around and saw Chunyu pushing the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in front of him.

"This is for you to eat."

What a cute and innocent little monster.

Die Xiaojun picked up the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and took a bite. There was a hint of saltiness in the sweetness. It seemed that the sweet-scented osmanthus had been pickled and preserved with salt, which was not to his liking.But seeing Chunyu's expectant expression, he couldn't help but praise: "It's really delicious."

Chunyu frowned, concentrated on gnawing on her own candied haws.

The two sat in the forest for a while, Die Xiaojun couldn't stand the cold wind, and the sky was getting dark, he touched Chunyu's head, lifted him up, and said: "It's getting late , let's go back."

Chun Yu covered her mouth, chewed carefully, nodded after a while, pointed to the food on the stake and said, "Don't throw away my candied haws and oranges."

Die Xiaojun smiled at him, hid him in front of his chest, and went to tidy up the food.

"In a while, I'll pinch a spell to go back, you have to hide it well, don't fall out."

"It won't fall out." Chun Yu shrank back as she said, "Brother, I've hidden it."

Die Xiaojun put away the food, inspected it carefully, saw that his whole body was indeed tucked into the clothes, then picked up the formula with confidence, and disappeared into the bamboo forest.
