The man lives next door

- 2 - Big gamble

Jun Jili was sitting in the chair by the bed, caressing Huaying in his arms with his hands, one person and one cat looked very relaxed.However, seeing this scene in the eyes of Chi Ling who entered the door, he knew that his family A Li did not relax at all.

Jun Jili is good at being in a daze, but in most cases it is not really in a daze, but thinking about problems in this way.Chi Ling once asked why he seemed to be in a daze whenever he was thinking about a problem.Jun Jili's answer is that only in this state can he fully mobilize all his energy to think about one thing.Chi Ling was very dissatisfied with this answer, and even thought it was not like an answer at all.

But Jun Jili's next sentence gave Chi Ling a creepy feeling - when he was not in a daze, his reason and emotion were basically separated.It was at that moment that Chi Ling realized that the so-called being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of concentration all year round is not a joke at all, but a fact.He couldn't figure out how Junjili did it, how to maintain the balance without falling into collapse, and he didn't know why he did it.It's a pity that Jun Jili just laughed and didn't mean to explain.

Withdrawing from his thinking, Jun Jili saw Chi Ling lying at his feet, and found that the other's furry face seemed to be a little tangled, as if he was thinking about some serious problem.So Jun Jili, who thought that Chi Ling had encountered some kind of problem, spoke naturally. "What's wrong?"

"I'm thinking that you're so smart, you'll go crazy when you divide up." He blurted out the answer, and the next second Chi Ling felt Jun Jili's hand on his back stop.

Jun Jili didn't expect Chi Ling to think about such a question, but he didn't feel offended, because Chi Ling was just stating a fact.

After belatedly realizing what a deadly thing he said, Chi Ling stood up and rushed to the door so that he could escape immediately when Jun Jili changed his face. "When you divide yourself up like this, I can't imagine how strong your will is to maintain the balance all the time, but you have to know that one day this balance will be broken. Maybe it's external force, maybe it's your own reasons, Don't you really think about changing it?"

I don't quite understand why Chi Ling cares so much about this issue, but Jun Jili has no interest in exploring it, nor does he have any intention of going deeper into this topic, so he just smiles inexplicably. "I thought you'd be more interested in knowing what I was thinking just now."

He was choked by Jun Jili's obvious attitude of changing the subject, but Chi Ling also knew that if this guy didn't want to say something, no one really could force him to say it. "Okay, so what were you thinking about just now?"

"Gu Zifang."

The little curiosity aroused by Jun Jili was instantly extinguished, Chi Ling pouted. "Tell it as if your busyness these past few months is not because of him."

Raising his eyebrows, Jun Jili was not frustrated by Chi Ling's performance, and continued on indifferently. "I'm thinking about how to make sure that Gu Zifang is qualified to officially join the team."

A little confused, Chi Ling thought that Jun Jili had already regarded Gu Zifang as a teammate.

"Partners are not equal to teammates. I thought you knew the difference between the two very well." A little surprised by Chi Ling's daze, Jun Jili couldn't help but wonder if his attitude was not obvious enough, otherwise how could Chi Ling think that he was Do you really regard Gu Zifang as a teammate? "I would guard my partners but not my teammates. I thought it was obvious."

Thinking back to everything after Gu Zifang appeared in Fenglei Mountain, Chi Ling suddenly realized that Jun Jili was always on guard against Gu Zifang. "But..., I mean, you are willing to guide him to change himself, for example, let him give up his innocent thoughts and turn to see the reality, and you are also willing to help him find a fighting style that suits him. Isn't this what you have already accepted him? prove?"

"Heh, Chi Ling, in your eyes, I accept someone so easily?" Jun Jili sneered, as if he wasn't the one who did the things Chi Ling said.

Chi Ling opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.Indeed, Jun Jili is not a person who can easily accept anyone, at least it took him several years to be truly accepted, there is no reason why Gu Zifang can do it so quickly.However, Chi Ling suddenly realized that he had passed Jun Jili's test unintentionally before being accepted?

As if he knew what Chi Ling was thinking, Jun Jili looked directly at him. "Remember what you did when you first entered the Qi Refining Realm and officially became a demon cultivator?"

Jun Jili's words seemed to be a kind of magical technique, which awakened Chi Ling's long-forgotten memory.He remembered that when he first entered the Qi Refining Realm, he realized that he was not an ordinary fox through the inheritance left by his father. At that time, he seemed to see a different path from the past, which meant that he did not have to stay in a dilapidated In the Taoist temple, you don't have to face someone who is not in the right place day and night.At that time, he was so excited that he forgot that he was once a collection of programs, thinking that he might be able to start a completely different life.

So Chi Ling almost couldn't wait to leave the Taoist temple, and found a direction at random.But he hadn't walked out of the forest near the Taoist temple, and the passion that had just risen had cooled down.He didn't know why he thought of everything that happened in the world of Jiansan, and the scenes he had watched all emerged in his mind.At that time, he suddenly realized that it was impossible for him to forget everything in the past, it was impossible to forget that he was once Jiansan's system, system, and he couldn't forget the devastated Tang Dynasty after the end of the Anshi Rebellion.And in this strange world, only the existence of Jun Jili can prove that everything is real.

He couldn't help remembering that he tried so hard to protect that world, trying his best to repair the program that started to get out of control.But in the face of the changes in the whole world, he has nothing to do. He can't stop the war, and he can't stop death.So for the first time he had an emotion, an emotion called despair.He thought that the world would collapse, and he would disappear with it.He almost gave up, thinking that nothing he could do would be of use.And at that time, he saw Lu Dongbin's willingness to die against the sky, and saw Jun Jili on the Zuowang Peak with tears streaming down his face but drawing his sword to the sky.

The war was still going on, but Jun Jili launched the deadliest attack on the rebels in his own way.He watched Jun Jili sneak into the Luoyang Imperial City, watched him wash the Golden Palace with blood, watched him help the Tang Army and various rebels win key victories again and again, Langya's blood finally diluted his despair and made him cheer up again courage.He is not the only one who is working hard. Everyone who rushes to the battlefield to stand against the rebels is using their own lives in exchange for victory. As a system, what right does he have to give up?

The Sword Three World is the place he has been guarding since he was born. Even if he has emotions and becomes a fox, he is still a unique system.Even if Jun Jili is the only resident from Jiansan in this strange world, he should stick to his post.Even though Jun Jili is not an aborigine of Sword Three World, but he chose to take over Lu Dongbin's sword and fight everything.As a dedicated and responsible system, he shouldn't be alone because of the small grievances with Jun Jili, let alone what happened to Jun Zhaoying was his fault in the first place.

So in the end he chose to turn his head back, and almost ran back to the Taoist temple at his fastest speed.When he ran back out of breath and saw that Jun Jili was still practicing sword in the yard like when he left, he suddenly felt relieved.Then he understood that no matter what he became, the last thing he could give up was the Sword Three World, or his identity as a system...

"I was waiting for you when you secretly started to practice." Seeing that Chi Ling had come out of memory, Jun Jili spoke slowly. "If you choose to be a demon cultivator that has nothing to do with Jiansan, I will treat you as if I have never known you. If you choose to be a system that can cultivate, then I will choose to put aside all grievances and treat you as a friend."

Chi Ling looked at Jun Jili, and many questions that he couldn't understand before were answered in this instant.The mood is a bit complicated, but strangely, he didn't feel annoyed because of being tested by Jun Jili, but felt lucky that he passed the test.Looking back now, if he had really gone, he would have been a lonely fox in this strange world.No past, no friends, probably nothing but cultivation.That kind of life is even worse than before the changes in the sword three worlds.Even though no one knew of his existence before the mutation happened, there was a world he needed to worry about, and he lived a fulfilling and satisfying life every day.

"I am Jiansan's system. I used to be. Although I leave my job for some reason, I will return to my post one day. I can do a good job when I have no emotion. After I have emotion, I will only do it. better." Holding his head proudly, Chi Ling felt as if something hindering him had been shattered, and his vision was unprecedentedly clear.

Sensing the change in Chi Ling's state of mind, Jun Jili was very happy, it was simply a surprise.Chi Ling had emotions for too short a time, he had always been worried that there would be problems in his mood, and now he was finally relieved.

Seeing Jun Jili's smile, Chi Ling also smiled.No matter what has happened between the two of them in the past, but now, they are comrades-in-arms working hard for a common goal. "It's true that Gu Zifang should be put to the test. It's not easy for us to join Dajisan's fixed team."

"Then, there is an opportunity right now." Chi Ling's frightened look made Jun Jili smile even more happily, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

In the middle of the night, Buerhou came back to Wuwuju from the Refining Hall, and as soon as he entered the room, he opened his mouth to reveal the results of his surveillance. "The Taoist priest guessed right, that Lan Yanran really went to the Artifact Refining Hall. When Luo Lingshuang went, Gu Zifang directly kicked him out, but it was Lan Yanran who had a good conversation."

"Ah Li, did you see something wrong with Lan Yanran?" Chi Ling immediately looked at Jun Jili, wanting to worship his teammate's intuition.But I only saw her once, and I still took a look from a distance. How did his family, A Li, find out that there was something wrong with Lan Yanran?

Following Chi Ling's question, all the animals in the room looked at Jun Jili, their eyes sparkling with curiosity.

Under the shining eyes of the whole room, Jun Jili poured himself a glass of wine without changing his face, and had no intention of giving an answer directly. "Tell me first what you think of Lan Yanran."

"Unremarkable." The first to speak was the little yellow chicken named Jiuxi, whose name came from the hidden sword move Jiuxi Miyan.

"Laugh at everyone." Following Chi Ling wandering around, Long Ya had more chances to see Lan Yanran than other animals.

But when Gu Zifang came out to check when he was late that day, his opinion was more biased. "The smile is fake, even more fake than the smiles I've seen in the palace before."

The two little snakes looked at each other, and the eggshell-wearing one named Qing Ya spoke first. "I haven't met her, but those outer disciples always speak good things about her." The little snake named Qingmo who had no eggshell followed suit. "I saw her several times around the Gu family's residence and didn't know what to do."

Nodding his head, Jun Jili looked at Abao, the only one whose name was not changed by him. "What's Bao's opinion?"

"Gu Zimeng has a very good impression of Lan Yanran, and he regards her as a very close sister inside and out." Ah Bao doesn't like running around, but after Gu Zimeng became a registered disciple, he often came to him .

At this time, Fuji Monkey already had a clue, and concluded. "A woman with an inconspicuous appearance and unremarkable qualifications, but she is exquisite in all aspects in the outer door, is worthy of attention. And after she entered Bifeng, she seemed to deliberately get close to Gu Zifang, and even Gu Zifang's family, which can explain the problem very well. "

"One more thing." Jun Jili added, relieved to find that the animals are not stupid. "That day, she appeared suddenly, and I didn't realize her existence at all before."

All the animals looked at each other in blank dismay, the sudden appearance of the consciousness that could hide the cultivator in the state of transformation, it is absolutely impossible to be a monk who established the foundation, or there is some magic weapon on his body that can cover up the consciousness.No matter what the possibility is, it doesn't fit the status of an ordinary outer disciple. This is simply Chi Guoguo's statement that there is something wrong with Lan Yanran!

"In other words, do you suspect that Lan Yanran is a spy lurking in Yanxia Temple? Yes, it must be so, but before she was only active in the outer door and did not attract our attention. Now, she is probably deliberately approaching Gu Zifang, I think she is definitely Shen Yifeng's person." The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was so, Chi Ling felt a chill on the back of her neck. "Then why don't you expose her and just let Buer monitor her?"

"Eight years of lurking without revealing her feet is enough to prove Lan Yanran's value and ability as a spy. Compared with Luo Lingshuang, she is the real threat. Since her target is Gu Zifang, and it happens to be when the Promise Tower is exposed. If you take the lead, then we can already determine what she is plotting, because so far the only enemy who directly points the finger at Gu Zifang is Shen Yifeng." Having said this, Jun Li paused. "However, rather than exposing her, I would rather use this opportunity to investigate whether Gu Zifang is qualified to join us. As long as Gu Zifang is not in danger and the Promise Tower is not taken away, I will not make a move."

Taking a deep breath, Chi Ling almost wanted to jump. "A Li, you are taking a big gamble! You are not afraid that Shen Yifeng will take the Promise Tower if you are a little careless?!"

"Lan Yanran has two action plans." No matter what Chi Ling said, Jun Jili still had a calm expression, but his eyes became dangerous. "One is to get close to him, gain trust, and then trick him out of Yanxia Temple to kill people and seize treasures. The other is to get close, gain trust, gain Gu Zifang's affection, and finally make Gu Zifang obey him. If you are Shen Yifeng, activate a The chess pieces that have been lurking for eight years, which one would you choose?"

"Is there a difference?" Long Ya asked blankly, asking everyone's common question.

"Of course." There was an unconscious coldness in his tone, Jun Jili never forgot Gu Zifang's and Ma's goals. "If it's the second option, he will face a choice in the near future, believe in Lan Yanran, or believe in me. I just want to see what choice he will make after being dazzled by emotions."

After being silent for a while, Huaying spoke with some difficulty. "I think I can understand. After all, he is the one who wants to be the leading man in the harem. There will always be conflicts between the harem and friends, and his choice is very important to us. Instead of waiting to be caught off guard in the future, we should It's better to take a big gamble now. But, Daoist, what if we lose the bet?"

"Even if Shen Yifeng gets the Promise Tower, so what? It's just the second time against the sky." With a crazy light in his eyes, Jun Jili's tone was firm. "However, I dare not hand over my back to someone I can't trust while going against the sky."
