Work hard for the shadow guard

"Do you know that this map is a priceless treasure?" The boss looked up at Ji Yuheng and said lazily.

"You can say that." Ji Yuheng frowned. The priceless treasure is a bit exaggerated, but it is indeed very precious.

"Of course that's not something money can buy." The boss closed his eyes and shook his head.

"Then what does the boss want?" Ji Yuheng felt that this person didn't really want to sell something, but rather seemed to be finding fault.

"Leave you as a guard, and I'll give you the map." The boss's eyes rolled around Yingjiu's body, his eyes were cloudy and he couldn't see the expression in it.

"It's impossible." Ji Yuheng replied immediately.

Ying Jiu immediately looked at Ji Yuheng when he heard the words, not knowing why this weird boss made such a request, but the attitude of the master made him feel at ease.

Ji Yuheng gave Yingjiu a soothing look, "It's impossible for him to stay, you can change your request."

"Then you keep one hand, and I'll give it to you." The boss changed Ji Yuheng's condition.

"You!" Ji Yuheng was angry. The boss seemed to be seriously ill, so don't blame him for being rude.

"Yingjiu, stop him, I'll take a pen and paper and copy this map." Ji Yuheng stopped talking nonsense with the boss, and since the business couldn't be done, he just copied a copy and took it away.

The boss saw Yingjiu walking towards him, as if he had just learned to be afraid, "Alright, alright, don't use force, young people, I'll give it to you if you want it."

Ji Yuheng saw that the boss seemed a little afraid of others approaching, so he glanced behind the counter, only to see that the boss was wearing tattered clothes, covering himself tightly, only showing a messy head that hadn't been combed for a long time.

"Do you really want to give it to me? You can make some reasonable requests. As long as it's not as excessive as before, I can still agree to you." Ji Yuheng was unwilling to accept gifts for no reason.

"Then buy me a good jug of wine, old man, I haven't had a drink for a long time."

Ji Yuheng nodded and said to Yingjiu, "Yingjiu, go buy him wine."

Yingjiu looked at Ji Yuheng worriedly. The boss was a little weird. He was afraid that this person would be bad for the master, but the master had already ordered it, and he could not disobey it.

Yingjiu showed her body skills, and Feng went out to buy wine, so she must come back quickly and continue to protect her master.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Ying Jiu came back with a jar of good wine, and found two people surrounded by the master, who were talking to the master, they were too close!

Ying Jiu threw the wine in his hand onto the counter, and the wine jug fell steadily. He strode over and blocked the two of them.

Song Tang and Dongsheng felt a black shadow flash in front of them, and when they opened their eyes again, there was already a person standing in front of them.

"This little brother is really handsome." Song Tang took a step back, and before he could stand still, he began to praise Ying Jiu's appearance.

Dong Sheng tugged at his master's sleeve helplessly from behind, master, can we restrain ourselves a bit, when you saw this young master who bought a map just now, he praised him like this.

Ji Yuheng stood up and said to Yingjiu who stood in front, "Yingjiu, it's okay, they're not bad people."

Yingjiu heard the words, and stood behind Ji Yuheng's side.

"Is this your bodyguard? His skill is really good!" Song Tang praised.

"This is my companion, Yingjiu." Ji Yuheng replied.

He looked at the pair of master and servant in front of him. The young man who called himself Song Tang in front of him was young, with a baby face, and the baby fat seemed to have not faded. He was wearing a low-key and gorgeous silk brocade robe. With a familiar pattern, it should be the young master of the Song family in Jili City.

The Song family is the largest silk merchant in the south. It is said that the Patriarch of the Song family wanted to cultivate to become an immortal when he was young. Unfortunately, he didn't have this talent. He started a cloth business to make a living, but it got bigger and bigger.

There are two sons in the Song family, the eldest son is a genius in business and has grown the Song family's family business several times, while the youngest son has inherited his father's ambition and devoted himself to seeking immortality.

Don't ask how Ji Yuheng knew, when he and Xu Bo came down from the mountain when they were young, Xu Bo had white hair and long eyebrows, and a benevolent face. Insisting on asking Uncle Xu to go back and take his son as his apprentice, the two managed to escape at that time, and when they met the Song family, they all took a detour.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the youngest son of the Song family also grew up.

"Young master, why don't you just sell me the map? We finally found such a cultivation map. You can ask for as much as you want, and the price is negotiable." Song Tang continued to discuss with Ji Yuheng.

"Mr. Song, I'm not short of money. We won't sell this map." Ji Yuheng was very firm.

Song Tang was a little downcast. Before he came to this store to buy things, the boss ignored him for some reason. This time he thought about leaving Jili City to learn from a teacher, so he came here to try his luck. The boss finally ignored him. But the most important map was bought away.

Without a map, how could I go to the Immortal Sword Sect to apprentice? Thinking of this, Song Tang suddenly asked: "Master, this year happens to be the year that the Immortal Sword Sect accepts apprentices, are you also going to apprentice?"

Ji Yuheng laughed, he should have thought that the youngest son of the Song family must also go to Immortal Sword Sect.

"Yes."

Seeing the smile in Ji Yuheng's eyes, Song Tang felt that although he hadn't said his request yet, the other party would definitely agree.

"That's great, it turns out that we are fellow Taoists! We are all from the city, why don't we go on the road together, and we can take care of each other on the road. If we can all enter the Immortal Sword Sect, we will be brothers in the same sect in the future."

Song Tang's eyes were shining with anticipation. Under the dim light of Zhenbao Zhai, there seemed to be tiny stars in his eyes, and his personality was also cheerful and straightforward. It would be a good choice to go with them.

But Ji Yuheng still remembered the dozen or so competitors that Yingjiu had told him about, they might come to make trouble for him at any time, and it would be bad if he got Young Master Song involved.

So Ji Yuheng refused: "Young Master Song, Yingjiu and I are used to being alone, and I don't like to walk with others. If there is a destiny, we will meet again when we arrive at Xianjianzong. As for the map, you can copy a copy if you need it. "

Song Tang was a little frustrated. He originally thought that he could make friends who could give each other their backs. Didn’t it mean that the relationship between Yu Wei is the most sincere? They met now, and then they apprenticed to a teacher and practiced together. A legend in the world.

Ji Yuheng refused flatly, and they could even copy the map. Song Tang was too embarrassed to cling to others with the cheek, "Then thank you fellow daoist, please wait a moment, fellow daoist, I will finish copying as soon as possible."

Song Tang and Ji Yuheng came to the teahouse and opened a quiet private room. To ensure accuracy, Song Tang painted it himself, and his companion Dongsheng grinded and served.

Within an hour, the map was finished.

Song Tang proposed to invite Ji Yuheng to be a guest at home, saying that he would thank them well, but Ji Yuheng declined.

Seeing Ji Yuheng and Yingjiu leaving, Dongsheng said regretfully, "These two gentlemen are really good people, but it's a pity that they don't want to go with us."

Song Tang rubbed his sore wrists, thinking of a plan, he smiled at Dong Sheng: "Can't go together, can't we still meet by chance?"

Dong Sheng gave Song Tang a thumbs up: "Young master, you are a great talent!" The two people have the same destination, and they are using the same map. As long as you pay attention, there are plenty of opportunities to meet by chance.

After Ji Yuheng and Yingjiu separated from them, they started to follow the route on the map. Two days later, they came to a mountain forest with no footholds around them, so they stopped the carriage in an open space and prepared to spend the night.

The crackling sound of the improvised fire made the nighttime mountain forest even more tranquil, and the warm yellow light of the fire made the faces of Ji Yuheng and Yingjiu red.

"Yingjiu, it's time to change your medicine." Ji Yuheng took out the golden sore medicine that Yingjiu had given him before from his arms.

"Master." Yingjiu looked at Ji Yuheng. In fact, he wanted to say that the golden sore medicine doesn't have a great effect on the wound. It doesn't matter if you don't change the medicine. The master doesn't have to worry about his injury all the time.

But the shadow guard could never refuse his master, so Ying Jiu obediently turned her back and unbuttoned her shirt.

The light at night was dim, but through the firelight in the middle, Ji Yuheng still realized, "Yingjiu, why isn't your injury getting better?"

Leaving aside the four black torture nails, the welts on the back still haven't completely healed, and blood is still oozing in many places, and the mottled wounds are especially glaring on the snow-white skin.

Ji Yuheng's eyes were a little chilled. During the day, Yingjiu was carrying the injuries all over his body, but there was no sign of pain on his face. How did he endure it?

Yingjiu couldn't answer Ji Yuheng's question, because he was a member of the demon clan. In order not to be discovered, he blocked his magic power, and the injury was suppressed, so naturally healed much slower than usual.

He could only vaguely say: "Actually, it has recovered a little bit. Master, please rest assured that the subordinates will definitely recover before arriving at Xianjianzong."

"Don't worry, take good care of your wounds, and don't get sick." Ji Yuheng carefully applied the medicine to Ying Jiu.

"Master, don't worry, the subordinates must recover well, and strive to serve the master as soon as possible."

"Who is talking to you about this?" Ji Yuheng Qi Yingjiu didn't understand his concern, he was about to say something more, Yingjiu moved his ears and said to Ji Yuheng: "Master, someone is coming over there."

Ji Yuheng pulled up Yingjiu's clothes and waited for the person hiding behind the tree to come out.

"Crack" came the sound of stepping on a broken branch, followed by a low-pitched apology, "Master, I didn't mean it."

"Young Master Song, come out." Ji Yuheng said towards the front.

Song Tang and Dong Sheng came out from the shade of the tree, and patted their sleeves awkwardly, "Fellow Daoist, how do you know it's us?"

"Guess." Ji Yuheng said helplessly.

In fact, they found out that these two people were following them before, and even asked Yingjiu to deliberately throw them away once, but she didn't expect to find them again so soon.
