Master, he tore up the script

Come up to sleep.

And not only did he have to go to Beijing to rush for the exam, but he also had to write a book during the gap between failing the exam.

Taoist Feng didn't know about the book, he just said: "Some demon cultivators are like this, they will hide among mortals, take pleasure in teasing mortals, and he is happy to see mortals suffer."

Xiao Cheng: "..."

In his previous life, he liked to pretend to be a mortal, and Xiao Cheng, who was among mortals, felt a pain in his knee.

But he has no interest in other people's pain, or in other words, other people's pain or happiness has nothing to do with him.

In order to prevent Taoist Feng from saying anything to make him lie down, Xiao Cheng said: "Let's go back and investigate, I think he is a human being."

If it is a magic cultivator, it must be at the level of He Zhang.

Taoist Feng didn't say anything more. After eating a beggar chicken, he packed up casually and buried the leftover firewood. Then he got up and returned to Hui County with Xiao Cheng and Pei Ling.

They entered an inn by the roadside, planning to inquire about Xu Qiao again.

The room was booked by Taoist Feng. He didn't have much money, so he booked two rooms. He thought that he and Pei Ling were more familiar, so he and Pei Ling should live together. Unexpectedly, when they reached the second floor, Xiao Cheng entered the room first. , Pei Ling walked in without thinking, but left him behind.

Taoist Feng finally couldn't stand it any longer, he grabbed Pei Ling's sleeve and gave him a wink: "Come here, I have something to tell you."

Pei Ling hesitated, but Taoist Feng went to the next room.

Taoist Feng closed the door and motioned Pei Ling to sit down, but he didn't sit down, standing beside Pei Ling with his waist pinched, Qiu Da looked at him deeply.

"I came here chasing Xu Qiao, why did you investigate Xu Qiao?" He walked back and forth in the room agitatedly, and suddenly stopped: "Didn't you say that you are going to repair the heavenly steps? Have you finished refining your keel? Do you stop cultivating the heavenly rank? Why did you run out of Lingxianmen halfway?"

Pei Ling sat on the chair and didn't speak for a long time.

Even if "Nie Xian" has been spread in the mortal world, he doesn't want to tell his friends that there is such a book; as for the matter of the heavenly rank... Pei Ling didn't say everything, but said: "The method of cultivating the heavenly rank is wrong .”

Taoist Feng: "Impossible!"

Pei Ling said: "It's wrong."

His tone was calm, but Taoist Feng understood him, he was not a liar.

He said it was wrong, and there must be a reason for that.

Taoist Feng was stunned: "How is this possible? This method is written in the Book of Heavenly Dao. It is something from the Upper Immortal Realm. If it is fake... can I still cultivate at that level?"

He didn't know Pei Ling's real purpose of cultivating the heavenly rank, he just thought that he, like other cultivators, wanted to cultivate the heavenly rank and ascend to the heavenly realm. Sitting down next to him, he said: "If not, don't worry about it, there is nothing wrong with being in the mortal world, why do you have to go to the fairy world..."

He had no yearning for the upper immortal world, and could not understand Pei Ling's urgency.

Pei Ling just shook her head and didn't say what she planned to do.

Taoist Feng looked at his face: "Aren't you going to repair it?"

Pei Ling was still shaking her head, neither sure nor denying it.

Taoist Feng knew his temper, so he didn't intend to open his mouth, nor did he intend to ask him for help, so he sighed and said, "Okay, this is your business, whether you want to cultivate or not is up to you, but your apprentice……"

Pei Ling said: "What's wrong with the apprentice?"

Taoist Feng looked at Pei Ling and hesitated to speak: "You really didn't realize that the way he looked at you was not right?"

On Ruchen Peak before, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Xiao Cheng bending over to approach Pei Ling, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Pei Ling was very slow in this aspect, and he probably didn't know what Xiao Cheng was doing.

Today he even made up little rabbits for Pei Ling, which was obviously used to coax little girls, but it was also used on Pei Ling.

Taoist Feng became more and more worried as he thought about it, and got up from the stool again, pacing back and forth in the room: "You still have to share a room with him, in case he gets evil and wants to do something at night..."

Pei Ling stood up at once.

Taoist Feng was taken aback by him, but Pei Ling said, "He told me on the way to Hui County that he planned to visit Xu Qiao's mother's hometown overnight, and he won't stay here tonight."

He followed Xiao Cheng into his room.

"Ah..." Taoist Feng was stunned, and after a while, he said with a complicated expression: "I'm sorry, it's me... thinking a little too much."

Pei Ling said: "I just want to find out Xu Qiao's identity as soon as possible. I will take care of other things myself."

He didn't know what was on his mind, and he didn't tell Taoist Feng that he had expelled Xiao Cheng from the school.

He also didn't say that he left Lingxianmen not only to track down Xu Qiao, but also that he didn't intend to go back.

"I used up a lot refining the keel a few days ago, and I need to meditate every night after dark, so I'm leaving first." Pei Ling got up, nodded and bid farewell to Taoist Feng.

Taoist Feng had just slandered Xiao Cheng, and he was still a little embarrassed at the moment, he stuttered and followed behind Pei Ling: "Then...you call me if you have something to do?"

"En." Pei Ling responded lightly, turned and went back to the room.

As soon as he entered and closed the door, the expression on his face collapsed.

Xiao Cheng had already left, and he was the only one in the room at this time.

He didn't know why the people around him were full of opinions on Xiao Cheng, as if his apprentice...was so unsightly.

He had indeed done something too much, but comparing the before and after, Pei Ling felt that he had been ignored by him, and he had no choice but to do that.

He also stabbed him with a sword, and that matter was settled when he stepped out of the stone room.

But Taoist Feng didn't know that his cultivation was interrupted, and he didn't know what Xiao Cheng had done. Under such a premise, he kept reminding himself that Xiao Cheng was not good, and told him to stay away from Xiao Cheng.

Pei Ling felt very complicated in her heart, she couldn't put it into words, but she was unhappy.

Think about it carefully... Probably, I took the money and happily went to the flower market to buy flowers, and I fell in love with a pot of cardamom, but someone next to me said that flowers should be bright red and red, this white is not white and green, how can it be considered a flower? Only a fool would buy it.

Pei Ling didn't believe in this evil, and took the flowers home, but he didn't expect that when he entered the door, he was accidentally hit by the flowers, and he was injured, and the branches of the flowers were broken.He felt that the flower had been punished, but he still liked the bright green color of the cardamom, thinking that this flower was chosen by himself, he was reluctant to throw it away.

But the man at the market chased him home again, saying that only this flower was unlucky, and he would suffer if he continued to raise it, so he insisted on forcing him to throw the flower out of the house.

He was annoyed and angry, but it was true that his hand was injured by the flower, and he didn't even have room to refute. Thinking about it this way, he became even angrier.

Pei Ling's claim that she wanted to cultivate was false, and it was true that she was sulking when she came back. The sulking rose in the middle of the night, and Xiaoer knocked on the door, saying that the store had brewed wine, and asked him if he would like some.

Alcohol is unique in the mortal world. Pei Ling often heard people say that getting drunk can relieve a thousand worries. He has never drunk it himself.

After a while, Xiaoer brought up a small jug of wine, and said to Pei Ling with a smile, "This wine has a strong aftertaste, drink it objectively and slowly."

Pei Ling responded lightly and sent him out.

Back in the room, he took a large amount of the wine jar carefully. It must have just come out from the bottom. The mouth of the wine jar was sealed with red mud, and there were still drops of water hanging on the wall of the wine jar.

He opened it curiously, and a scent of wine wafted out from the jar. He lowered his head and smelled it, and the smell was very novel.

It's okay to have a taste.

-

Xiao Cheng ran around all night, but found no useful clues.

Xu Qiao's natal family was poor, and was sold to a brothel, where the head of the Xu family valued her, so she was raised as a concubine.

She died of dystocia. Before giving birth to Xu Qiao, she lived in Zhuangzi and never went out. People in Hui County had never seen her, and her parents and brothers did not know her whereabouts.

Xiao Cheng rushed to her hometown, and after some inquiries, he found out that their family had died in the war, and even the house had collapsed.

After returning in vain, Xiao Cheng's mood was a little irritable.

When he returned to the inn, all the lights in the inn room were turned off, and the surrounding area was very quiet. He didn't want to disturb anyone, so he tiptoed to the door of the room, but unexpectedly, the door opened, and the smell of wine wafted out from the room.

Xiao Cheng froze at the door, thinking for a moment that he had gone through the wrong door.

But before he returned to the door to look at the house number, he heard a familiar voice from inside: "Are you back?"

It was Pei Ling who was speaking.

But it's a little different from usual, not so cold, and the ending is slightly hoarse and soft.

A little soft?

How could he use such words to describe Pei Ling? Xiao Cheng just felt that he was too busy traveling all the way back, so he turned around and closed the door, and walked in.

The room is not big, and there is a screen in front of the bed to block the inside.

The windows inside were open, and the bright moonlight slanted in, casting a shadow obliquely on the screen.

Pei Ling seems to have gone to bed, is he practicing?

Xiao Cheng walked over. Unexpectedly, when he got to the bedside, he found that Pei Ling had unfolded the quilt and sat inside wearing a loose coat. The inner coat was torn open, revealing a white chest and collarbone. .

Xiao Cheng: "..."

what's the situation?

Pei Ling moved slightly, and a stronger smell of alcohol wafted from the bed, Xiao Cheng stood beside the bed and swallowed: "Master, have you been drinking?"

Pei Ling sat on the bed, his long black hair had long been scattered, his eyes were loose, he seemed to be unable to understand what Xiao Cheng was saying, but he was still subconsciously maintaining the majesty of the master, and said calmly: "What did you find out?" come yet?"

Xiao Cheng: "No. Master, who gave you the wine?"

"Shop waiter." Pei Ling said: "If you haven't found out, let's do it first. Tomorrow we..."

In the middle of his speech, he suddenly stopped. Xiao Cheng stood beside him and waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for the second half of his sentence.

He couldn't help but ask, "How will we do tomorrow?"

Pei Ling sat on the bed, staring at the quilt in front of her seriously, and didn't say what was going to happen tomorrow for a long time - the clue was broken here, in fact, he didn't know what to do, but he was a master, how could he be here? Showing hesitation in front of the apprentice?

So he was silent for a long time, then nodded, as if he had finished speaking, and made a concluding remark: "In short, that's it, it's getting dark, let's rest first."

After speaking, he lifted the quilt, patted the place next to him, and said to Xiao Cheng solemnly: "Come up and sleep."

Xiao Cheng's eyebrows twitched.

The author says:

Xiao Cheng: That's it?
