Work hard for the shadow guard

Song Tang took Dongsheng to the fire and sat down, with an unnatural expression on his face, he said, "Fellow Daoist, I want to apologize to you, the reason we were able to find you is because I let Dongsheng spill water on your carriage. Follow fans."

"Tracking powder? Made with pollen from tracking grass?" Ji Yuheng asked when he heard a familiar name.

"Fellow Daoist, do you know about tracking grass?"

Song Tang said in surprise, this is one of the must-have outfits his father bought for going out with a lot of money. He said that if someone bullies him, if he can't beat him, he will run away first. Remember to give him a tracking fan, and then find someone to beg him when he is stronger. Back to the game.

Unexpectedly, it was used by Ji Yuheng and the others first.

Ji Yuheng nodded, he had seen it in "Hundreds of Herbs for Profound Medicine".

Tracking grass is no different from the weeds on the roadside when it is not blooming. Once it blooms, its aura will increase. Each grass will only bloom one flower in its life. Even if the flower is picked off, the leaves will always remember the scent of the flower.

So someone pollinates the flowers, picks the grass, and uses the leaves to track the location of the pollen.

Song Tang knew that he didn't do it properly. He could be naughty at home, but he still had the most basic courtesy when traveling, "Two friends, I'm sorry, we didn't mean anything malicious, it was just impulsive and thoughtless. Fellow Daoist, please rest assured, I will stop following you now."

A stalking grass can only be used once, and cutting off the stalking means destroying the stalking grass in his hand. Ji Yuheng couldn't bear to destroy such a "single-minded" elixir.

But Song Tang, in order to express his apology, cut off the tracking grass in his hand before Ji Yuheng could open his mouth. The light green leaves suddenly lost their vitality, turned yellow, and then turned into a little fly ash and disappeared in Song Tang's hands.

After this incident, Song Tang knew he was wrong, and he no longer wanted to go with Ji Yuheng. He said hello and left with Dongsheng.

Ji Yuheng looked at Song Tang's leaving direction and fell into deep thought. Before the competitor appeared, he was afraid. If he wanted to be so constrained to learn from a teacher, why would he leave the free Yunxing Mountain.

"Yingjiu, do you know how my other brothers and sisters are doing?"

"Returning to the master, among all the highnesses, the first highness Ling Yu and the second highness Ji Chu are the most outstanding. Both of them hold important positions. The other highnesses keep a low profile, so don't dare to compete with them."

"It seems that although there are many people who are qualified for that seat, the most competitive ones are only Ling Yu and Ji Chu." I don't know if I voluntarily gave up competing for the qualification, and whether these two people will let me go.

Ji Yuheng shook his head, how could it be? If he were Ling Yu and Ji Chu, he would definitely eliminate those insignificant competitors first, and finally the two would have a decisive battle without any scruples.

"By the way, is your mother's surname the traditional one? Why do you all have the same father, but have different surnames?" Ji Yuheng asked. He had never met his father, and it was normal to follow his mother's surname. His Royal Highness and Second Highness don't follow their father's surname either.

"Returning to the master, there is indeed such a custom. Parents will not give their children formal names, they will only give them a convenient nickname. After the children are literate and sensible, they will give themselves a formal name. Parents with the same surname means that they have grown up and no longer need their parents' care."

Yingjiu replied that it is precisely because of this tradition in the demon world that the demons do not value kinship very much. The demon world has always been the weak and the strong, and the winner is king. In a battle, father and son can sometimes kill each other.

"I see." This custom has never been heard in the Central Plains. It seems that the world is so big that there are still many things I don't know. "You also came up with your own name?"

Of course not, Yingjiu replied: "The shadow guard is just a sharp sword and a tool for the owner to use. Naturally, it should not have its own name. The word Yingjiu is just a code name given to the subordinates by the owner. "

Ji Yuheng didn't like to hear Yingjiu say these words of belittling himself. He looked into Yingjiu's eyes, "Who said you are just a tool? Do you still remember how I introduced you to Mr. Song?"

"This is my companion, Yingjiu." Naturally, Yingjiu will not forget this sentence, but years of shadow guard training made him dare not take what the master said seriously. Only when he recognizes his identity can he truly protect the master.

"I said that you are my companion, not just a shadow guard or a tool, you are a living person with flesh and blood."

Ji Yuheng patted Yingjiu's shoulder and felt the body under his palm become stiff. He still didn't take his hand away, as if he had read in any book that people who are sensitive to contact can be treated with desensitization?

"Yes, Master."

Yingjiu felt soreness in his chest. He lowered his eyelashes to hide the deep apology in his eyes. He is not a human, he is a demon, the thing people hate and fear the most. When demonized, his head has horns and he is covered in demons Wen, extremely ugly, if the master sees it, he will definitely not want to regard him as a companion.

Seeing that Yingjiu was still so cautious, Ji Yuheng stepped up, "At what age do your children usually choose their own names?"

"Usually around fifteen." Yingjiu replied, at this age, it also means that the children of the Demon Race can live independently without their parents, and the new name she gave is the title of wandering in the Demon World in the future.

Ji Yuheng remembered that Yingjiu was already 26 years old. According to their customs, he should have named himself a long time ago and traveled abroad. However, he received the so-called shadow guard training in Qiwu Mountain Villa, and he was scarred and scarred.

Ji Yuheng looked at Ying Jiu with soft eyes, "Ying Jiu, please give yourself a name, and I will call you by your new name in the future."

Upon hearing this, Yingjiu looked up at Ji Yuheng in surprise, "Master, please give me a name!"

Ji Yuheng's original intention was to let Yingjiu not always be so humble, not to treat herself as a human being, and Yingjiu had to make up for the custom over there even if she was a few years late.

If it is given a name, wouldn't it be impossible to achieve the effect you want, "I mean let you name yourself. Since you have this custom, you must have secretly thought about your own name when you were a teenager. Bar."

I really thought about it, and I couldn't help but communicated with the shadow guards who were training with me, but when I was discovered by the manager of the villa, I was almost accused of betraying the villa and was severely punished.

Yingjiu really doesn't want to recall the specific process. He has forgotten the name that he had conceived for a long time at the beginning. He only remembers that the shadow guard who was punished with him failed to survive the torture, and was buried forever with his favorite name. back mountain.

"I really thought about it, but my subordinates have forgotten."

Hearing Ying Jiu's tone was a little low, Ji Yuheng persuaded: "It's okay, then think about it again, it's okay if you can't think of it for a while, and tell me when you think about it."

"Ji Jiu."

"What?" Ji Yuheng heard Ying Jiu say a name, does he want to take his last name?

"As a shadow guard, it is a great honor to have the same name as the master. I hope the master will allow his subordinates to be called by this name." As for the word "九", the master said before that he likes this word, which means long time.

Ji Yuheng paused, "Of course." She just felt that her goal had not been achieved, and Yingjiu still put herself in an extremely humble position.

"My subordinate thanked the master!" Yingjiu finally had some joy in his eyes.

He is the second shadow guard whose code name has been changed in Qiwu Villa, and who is lucky enough to have the same character as his master. He will definitely protect his master to the death like Lord Cangyin, be unconditionally loyal forever, and dedicate his life to his master.

Ji Yuheng waved his hands, called Yingjiu's new name and said with a smile, "Ji Jiu, you're welcome."

He didn't know that changing his name tonight made Yingjiu's loyalty to him even deeper.

The further north we went, the colder the weather became. By the time the two of them arrived in Mo Tiancheng, it was already late autumn and early winter.

Compared with the well-developed commerce and politics in the south, there are more cultivators in the north. Along the way, the number of cultivators Ji Yuheng encountered gradually increased. Occasionally, when he looked up, he could see Yujian flying in midair.

"Ajiu, let's rest at the teahouse in front." Ji Yuheng said.

Yingjiu has changed his name to Jijiu. It would be a little strange to call him by his first name and surname. On the way, Ji Yuheng started calling him Ajiu, which made him seem closer.

"Yes." Yingjiu walked a few steps quickly, and handed over the reins to Xiaoer who was waiting for customers in front of the door. In order to speed up the journey, Ji Yuheng and Yingjiu had already sold the carriage and replaced it with two good horses.

Near noon, the teahouse was very lively. The storyteller in the hall was talking about the battle between immortals and demons.

There were almost no good seats, so Ji Yuheng and Yingjiu chose an inconspicuous corner to sit down. Although the seats were remote, they were close to the storytelling stage, and the voices on the stage could be heard clearly.

"The battle lasted for a long time, and both sides suffered heavy losses. Seeing that his army in the demon world was about to go further, the Ninth Elder of the God of War of the Immortal Sword Sect broke through the Nascent Soul during the battle and reached the realm of transforming gods. A grand thunder tribulation happens once in a hundred years!"

Ji Yuheng took a sip of the tea in his hand. He met many storytellers along the way, and some of them talked about the war between immortals and demons, but some described the god of war as a three-headed and six-armed Da Luo Jinxian, and some described the demon world as despicable and shameless. Vulnerable.

Now what the guy in the teahouse said sounds like the most reliable.

Yuanying, Huashen, Ji Yuheng said these two words in his mouth. There are seven levels of cultivation: Qi training, foundation building, Jindan, Yuanying, Huashen, crossing the catastrophe, and ascending.

After the foundation was established, each level was accompanied by a thunder disaster, and each level was divided into four levels: elementary, intermediate, high, and peak.

Most cultivators can break through Qi training and reach foundation building. There is a huge threshold between foundation building and Golden Core.

And there are very few people who can form the golden core. The three-year recruiting meeting of Xianjianzong is to select talented practitioners who can cultivate to the golden core.
