When Xie Changming returned to Langyue Courtyard, Mr. Xu had already slipped away and was no longer here.

He paused, and pushed open the door. The room was no different from usual, except for a curtain on the bed, half closed and half hanging on the ground.

There is no golden house to hide the beauty here, but a long-sighted bird is hidden in the curtain.

Xie Changming took a few steps closer and saw Sheng Liuyu half leaning on the head of the bed, tilting his head, his long black hair hanging down, revealing half of his face.

Probably feeling the breath of someone coming in, he raised his head slightly, his eyelashes trembled, and the arc of light falling on it seemed to be shaken away.

"Is that you?" he asked.

After being discovered, it is not easy to pretend that nothing happened. After all, it is just to alienate each other, not to turn a blind eye and cause enemies to turn against each other.

So Xie Changming picked up the spirit stone on the table and replied, "It's me."

Sheng Liuyu pursed her lips, her expression was not very happy, as if someone provoked him: "The bed is very hard, the quilt is not soft enough, and it's rough."

Students come to Lulin Academy to study hard and practice hard, not to enjoy themselves, so the things they buy are just to meet the needs of life.

But Sheng Liuyu was an exception. After coming to the academy, she was also raised in the Jinxiu pile, and had never experienced the hardships of cultivating immortals.

Xie Changming deliberately ignored these, and asked him: "Didn't you live well a few days ago?"

Sheng Liuyu frowned: "I was injured at that time, my muscles and eyes hurt, I can't care about those."

The implication is that now the injury is almost healed, the tail feathers have returned, and the feathers have been nourished by fairy fruits and pine nuts, making them plump and smooth, so we have to worry about the living conditions such as beds and quilts.

Sheng Liuyu is a very delicate bird, not the kind of character who would wrong herself, but she is very proud after all, and she is unlikely to complain about such things to people she doesn't know well.

In the past few days, Xie Changming once thought that the alienation plan was a success.

Xie Changming said cautiously: "Then what do you want?"

Sheng Liuyu said: "At least change to the same quilt as in my original house."

What he said was very reasonable, and he didn't seem to think it was an excessive request.

Xie Changming had been to Shufengyuan before, but he didn't enter the inner room, but only in the hall, it can be seen that the decoration is luxurious and not ordinary.

He asked, "Then what's in your house?"

Sheng Liuyu thought for a moment.

He is a god bird who does not eat fireworks in the world. It is impossible to know the texture of the quilt just by the touch, but his memory is very good. to him.The booklet was stamped with gold and stone, and the handwriting was protruding. He had also read it when he was free and bored.

"The bed is made of agarwood, and the quilt is made of gardenia silk."

These are expensive.The spiritual stones needed for a bed of weeping gardenia silk are enough for ordinary casual cultivators to cultivate to Nascent Soul with wealth.

Xie Changming has spiritual veins, these are nothing.

But he is also a casual cultivator, even if he has one, he can't take it out.

But the main reason is that Xie Changming doesn't want to be used to Sheng Liuyu.

He is not the owner of the little Changming bird, there is no need for that.

Xie Changming said: "The beds in Langyue Courtyard are made of jujube wood, and the quilt is ordinary fine linen."

Sheng Liuyu didn't know the difference.

Xie Changming explained: "The bed of weeping gardenia silk you built is enough to exchange for the fine linen piled into Qinglinfeng."

In order to prevent him from not understanding, Xie Changming gave an example: "For example, if you plant trees in the Lingzhi Garden, you can get 20 spirit stones every month. After about [-] years of planting, you can buy a bed of weeping gardenia silk."

After saying this, he looked down at Sheng Liuyu.

Sheng Liuyu was stunned, the setting sun fell on his chin, it was a very moving color.

Xie Changming believes that he should have given up his unrealistic plans.

After a long time, until Xie Changming was about to get up and leave, Sheng Liuyu said: "Aren't you also working in Lingzhi Garden?"

Xie Changming suddenly felt something was wrong, the example just given seemed wrong.

Sure enough, although Sheng Liuyu didn't open his eyes, Xie Changming could feel the subtlety of his expression.

Before that, Sheng Liuyu probably knew that he was a rich bird, but he didn't realize that he was so rich, let alone that Xie Changming was so poor.

It takes 20 years of poverty to afford a quilt.

From this point of view, his request is indeed a bit excessive.

Therefore, Sheng Liuyu became empathetic, and said in a low voice, "I didn't know these things before, but now I know."

Xie Changming: "..."

Sheng Liuyu thought for a moment, and became more considerate: "I heard that in the human world, if you want others to help you with your homework, you have to give money. But this is the world of cultivation, and money is useless. So in the future, I will pay you for your homework tutoring." Stones, magic tools, if you want anything, you can bring it up."

Xie Changming: "...it doesn't have to be like this."

Sheng Liuyu said: "As for now, the jujube wood bed and fine linen quilt are not unusable. Then, I will bear with it."

It seems that he has suffered a great grievance and endured the humiliation.

Xie Changming has already accepted the reality that he is a poor casual cultivator. Although he will not accept Sheng Liuyu's spiritual stones and magic tools, on the other hand, he has also dispelled Sheng Liuyu's thoughts, and it is not a return for nothing.

Therefore, Xie Changming said calmly: "Mr. Xu said that half of the academy has been searched. You can go back in a few days."

Sheng Liuyu nodded, probably to dispel Xie Changming's sense of guilt for his inability to do anything, and added: "I'm used to sleeping in gardenia silk, and it's very fresh to live here now."

Xie Changming didn't feel guilty, he just said: "You are right."

After finishing speaking, he exited the room and happened to meet Chen Yibai.

Chen Yibai said: "Brother Xie, isn't he practicing? Why did you suddenly leave the customs?"

Xie Changming raised his head and glanced at the sky: "At this time, the twilight is in harmony, which is suitable for practicing swords."

Then he said, "Brother Chen, do you want to compete with me?"

I was in a bad mood and wanted to hit someone.

Chen Yibai was only threatened by Xie Changming's heavy knife, but he hadn't seen the real face of the knife, so he was very interested, so he went to the martial arts field together.

Then, he was beaten to doubt his life, and even wanted to switch to learning knives.

Fortunately, Xie Changming stopped him.

After a few more days, the Sijietang finally searched the academy, and this time found several spies.I don't know if it was luck or some other reason, Cong Yuan escaped again.

After checking the academy, it's time for class.Since those places in the Martial Arts Field were not open, he could only take other classes first. Mr. Xu's class suddenly increased. Originally, he had to meet every seven days, but now he had to meet every other day, which caused the students to be very painful.

The room was full of students, but Sheng Liuyu was missing.He was frightened, lost his spiritual power, and hadn't fully recovered yet, so he asked for leave of course and didn't come to class.

Mr. Xu still did not bring any books, and sat on the armchair and said, "Last time we talked about the Demon World, this time, I will tell you about the abyss."

He asked: "Everyone here, is there anyone who knows the abyss?"

A student stood up and said: "When I was young, I heard the elders in my family say it, and I only vaguely remember that it is a very scary place."

Mr. Xu said: "Yes. Compared with the abyss, the demon world is nothing. Because of this, the master usually doesn't talk about the abyss before you have completed your cultivation."

He spoke very calmly, and everyone was terrified.

As we all know, Mr. Xu has a crow's mouth, good but not bad.Either he said bad news, or he thought it was good news, and it quickly turned bad when it came out of his mouth.

For example, last time he finished saying "the demon world is nothing to worry about", and immediately ushered in the invasion of the demon race, this time he said "the abyss is a serious problem", everyone was very panicked.

Mr. Xu took out the map. There was no abyss on it, because it was deliberately hidden.

He pointed out the location of the abyss.

Unlike the Demon Realm, the Abyss actually exists on land.Specifically, it is in the south of Dongzhou and connected with Yizhou.There should have been a lot of animals and lush vegetation, but the area around the abyss was empty for more than ten miles, not even mosquitoes and ants, and it was empty and lonely.The abyss is a long and narrow crack in the ground, less than three feet wide, and I don't know how deep it is.Because as long as you jump in, no matter what kind of realm you are in, you will have no spiritual power. You can only hang on the rope and explore slowly, and the lower you go, the narrower it becomes.Once it exceeds a kilometer, it will inevitably be broken.

Someone asked: "Why? Is the rope not strong enough?"

Mr. Xu said: "No, it was eaten. The cliffs of the abyss are full of hungry ghosts."

The so-called hungry ghosts are neither humans nor beasts. They are not anything in the world, but they are similar to the hungry ghosts in Lingzhou rumors, so they are called that way.The hungry ghost was completely black, as if it had been burned to this point, with a long body and thin neck, sharp teeth, irrational, and could only devour flesh and blood.

Hungry ghosts are not afraid of water and fire, and mortal weapons can't pierce their skin at all.Even a monk with a cultivation base below Nascent Soul would have a hard time harming them.

These hungry ghosts usually just stay in the abyss, but they crawl out from time to time to do harm to the world.In case of catastrophe, plague or war, or even a peaceful prosperous age, they will leave the abyss for no reason and devour human beings.Wherever it passes, it will pass like locusts, and not even bones will be left.

Mr. Xu said: "Whenever there is any change in the abyss, all sects and sects will send people to suppress it. The number of monks who die in the mouth of hungry ghosts is more than ten times that of the demons."

Someone asked: "That's a mortal matter, why should the cultivation world suppress it?"

Mr. Xu stood up and said calmly: "You and I are both monks. We have stepped out of ordinary people and embarked on the road of cultivating immortals. What we cultivate is immortals, but what we sharpen is the heart of Taoism. We have not yet become immortals. We live together Under the sky, we are just people with some supernatural powers."

Not superior.

But Mr. Xu didn't say these words, he just coughed a few times and sat back.

When get out of class was over, Chen Yibai was very anxious, afraid that the hungry ghosts in the abyss would suddenly jump out of a certain mountain just like the demons.

Last time, although the demons dragged down a few mountains, they did not hurt anyone. The reason is that the target is only one Sheng Liuyu, killing too many people will only make the cultivation world and the demon world more antagonistic. The devil world, on the contrary, is not easy to handle.

Hungry ghosts are different, they eat anyone they see, regardless of whether you are a monk or not, as long as you are a flesh and blood person.

Based on Xie Changming's previous knowledge, hungry ghosts would only crawl out of the abyss, so Chen Yibai was too worried.

After class, Xie Changming went to Lingzhi Garden to pick fruits and sent them to Shufengyuan.

Sheng Liuyu was waiting to be fed under the phoenix tree in the yard. After eating the fruit, she did not let Xie Changming leave, but asked, "What class did you have today?"

It's like chatting without anything to say. If it was in the past, Sheng Liuyu would definitely not ask.

Xie Changming said: "Mr. Xu's class."

Sheng Liuyu was a little happy, probably because he skipped another lesson from Mr. Xu.

Xie Changming suddenly remembered something.

In recent days, Mr. Xu has arranged a lot of topographic maps. Sheng Liuyu didn't go to class.

And last time, he didn't talk to Mr. Xu about not counting these as grades.

That is to say, at the end of the year, it is still an unsolved mystery whether Sheng Liuyu can pass this gate.
