Han Shan's Sword Unsheathed

Sanjiao muttered in a low voice: "It only saves one year, what's the use of it? If I want to transform into a dragon, I need at least 300 years..."

Jixiao passed on to them the cultivation method of inhaling the aura of heaven and earth, so that the demon power in their bodies is more pure, and they don't need to eat people or eat demons to improve their cultivation.The three sea jellyfish have the hope of "turning into a dragon", so they are willing to swim at the bottom of Changchun Peak Pool.According to Ji Xiao's estimation, it will take about 300 years to transform the dragon. 100 years is a lifetime for mortals, but it's just a blink of a finger for a big monster.

Dajiao hates iron for being weak: "Are you stupid? Seventy-seven and 49 days can be worth a year. If you say something nice to him, if he is willing to help you cultivate for ten years, wouldn't it be worth 70 years for you?!"

Erjiao: "That's right, it's going to be 100 years, you have to pray for that kid to live a long life, don't die early!"

Sanjiao pondered for a while: "It makes sense, hehe!"

How can the big dragon make the three dragons specialize in the front?I saw the jin carp spitting bubbles at Yu Qi: "My cultivation level is higher than that of the Sanjiao, you can borrow my demon pill next time."

Erjiao is not far behind: "It's fine for me, if you need it, feel free to borrow it, they are all my brothers, so you're welcome."

On the contrary, Yu Qishu scratched her head in embarrassment: "No, no, no need..."

He thought, I am a human, you are Jiao, hundreds of years older than me, how can we become brothers?

Ji Xiao smiled faintly: "We should go."

Yu Qishu hurriedly followed.

It is said that it is a shortcut, but it is indeed a path between mountains and forests.In the cold mountain in early summer, the sound of insects and birds on the mountainside was as dense as rain. They walked all the way to the main peak, only to be discovered by patrolling disciples.

Yu Qishu is now a celebrity in Hanshan, more famous than Xiao Tingyun who hasn't shown his face for several months.

The guarding disciple saluted him from a distance: "Hello Senior Brother Yu, is Senior Brother Yu coming to visit the Master Master? I'll go and report right away."

Yu Qishu sideways avoided, and returned the salute to them: "Don't dare to take it, it's Junior Brother Yu. Thank you, Senior Brother."

Not long after, Tong Chuan's disciple came back: "Senior brother Yu, the sect master invites you to speak in the hall."

When the two walked away, the guarding disciple sighed, "Senior brother Yu is still so humble!"

Another person said: "The one next to him, who is the younger brother, looks familiar to me..."

There were only a few school-age disciples who went to the secret realm of the vast sea, and Yu Qishu left an impression of being humble and polite in the hearts of most of Hanshan's disciples.

He was playing Jianping winning streak, and others praised him for his excellent swordsmanship. When he remembered that he was beaten by Meng Xueli and Xiao Tingyun, he was powerless to fight back, so he waved his hands again and again, saying that I can't do it, I'm still far behind.

He made great contributions in the battle of Jingsi Valley, and he was favored and valued by the sect master and the peak masters. He also said that it was not my credit, it was all done by the sword.Of course the disciples didn't believe that a sword could really control people.

Yu Qishu's modesty is very sincere, even with a hint of fear, it's not hypocrisy, so it's not annoying, but rather popular, no one thinks he's in the limelight and envies him.

At this time, he was walking beside Ji Xiao, feeling excited and nervous, Ji Xiao was much more at ease than him.

Approaching the side hall, Dao Tong, who was waiting for the real master, came out to greet him: "Two senior brothers, please come in."

Yu Qishu walked a few steps behind Jixiao, and closed the palace door smoothly.

The head of the sect was still injured, and his face showed tiredness: "Ahem, Qishu is here."

He sat alone making tea, with deep wrinkles, as if he had aged 20 years.

The temple was lit with tranquilizing incense, and there were only three people left.

Ji Xiao took two steps forward, stood with his hands behind his back, and said calmly, "Jian Wei, how are you doing recently?"

Han Shan's sect master's Taoist name is small, and only monks who are higher than him or of the same generation as him are called this way.

The head of the sect was startled: "You...stop the cloud?" He suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes were like lightning, staring at Ji Xiao closely, his expression gradually changed from surprise to shock, "No, you..."

He thought of something, but he didn't dare to say it, as if he was afraid of being heard by heaven.

Yu Qishu said in a low voice: "It's not Tingyun. I didn't control the changes in Jingsi Valley." The unfinished meaning is enough.

The head suddenly stood up: "What are the lay names of the five of us?"

Jixiao was helpless: "Your name is Zhang Shi, the master of Ziyan Peak, Yuan Ziye, the master of Chongbi Peak, Li Baishu, the master of Yueque Peak, Liu Guangming, and the master of Liulan Peak, Zhao Daze. Your Daoist name is given by Tai Heng, and Yuan Ziye's Daoist name is hers." The real Master Yixiao took it, her master's secular name is Han Chunguang, as for Li Baishu, he..."

The head: "It's okay, it's okay! It's really, really you!"

Yu Qishu felt that she knew too much, so she took two steps back and stood aside with her head bowed, leaving space for them.

Ji Xiao: "You can't trust people easily, I can also urge a sword energy."

The real person in charge said repeatedly: "No need!"

He was so excited that he fought back tears.Ji Xiao patted him on the shoulder.

The head let out a long breath, as if he wanted to let out the recent depression.

Ji Xiao motioned him to sit down: "How about outside Hanshan?"

The head of the sect sighed slightly: "There are rumors everywhere outside, and they can say anything."

The two sat opposite each other and talked about business.

Master Jixiao wants to use mirage beasts to guard the secret realm, or guard the cold mountain, that's fine.Being able to subdue a big monster to become a spirit beast proves that the monks of the human race are highly capable and demonstrates the prestige of the human race.

For the sake of the peace between the human and monster races, Master Jixiao married the monster race openly and aboveboard, and it is okay to jointly resist the demon race in the future.This is an expedient measure. For the sake of peace in the human world, Ji Xiao sacrificed his personal marriage.

But Ji Xiao unexpectedly merged with a monster who concealed his identity and pretended to be a human.Under the deliberate guidance of someone with a heart, this inevitably makes people smell an inexplicable conspiracy.It seems that Ji Xiao, who is "invincible in the world", plans to do something behind the back of the human race.

If Ji Xiao is still alive, he can explain the reason. With his prestige during his lifetime, most monks will be convinced.It's a pity that once Ji Xiao left, the dead couldn't speak and could only let others speculate.

The leader: "Taiheng's gossip is confusing everyone, Mingyue Lake has deep plans!"

Ji Xiao: "It's not a big problem."

The head of the sect thought about it, indeed, Hanshan has no shortage of great talents, Ji Xiao is there; Hanshan has no shortage of outstanding juniors, and young disciples like Cui Jing and Yu Qishu are growing up, so why worry too much?

What Han Shan lacked was time.The longer this period of stability, the better for Han Shan.

The head of the sect suddenly looked at Yu Qishu: "This son can be of great use!"

Yu Qishu was taken aback for a moment, and almost jumped up in fright: "Don't dare to be that!"

Ji Xiao smiled.

Seeing him smiling, the headmaster felt that Ji Xiao had changed.It was reincarnated and rebuilt once, and it became more popular, no longer like the golden lacquer statue on the altar table.

Or who or what changed him.

This conversation took a long time, and it was already sunset before the two left.

The headmaster said solemnly: "I have a question. I have been very troubled recently. Please help me."

Ji Xiao seemed to know that he was in trouble, so he asked his junior Yu Qishu to leave first: "But it's okay to say."

"Hanshan was full of talented people back then, why did you help me to be the head?"

After the incident in Jingsi Valley, Jian Wei was questioned by Zhou Yi and Elder Taiheng, and he has been thinking about this issue recently.

Although the leaders of the various peaks comforted him: "It's not your fault."

Jian Wei still can't think about it, he even thought, if Ji Xiao is still alive, he must ask Ji Xiao why.

"how you said that?"

"The head of the sect was passed on to me. I failed to carry forward Hanshan, but caused it to fall apart. I am incompetent. I am sorry for Hanshan."

After hearing this, Ji Xiao didn't tactfully comfort him, nor did he explain too much, he just said: "To be the head of Hanshan, you don't need to be clever and resourceful, and you don't need to have deep cultivation. .Jianwei, changing someone else to be the head is far inferior to you!"

Seeing Wei Zhenren was stunned for a long time, with tears in his eyes.

……

Meng Xueli was jealous of mirage beasts, got angry with Ji Xiao, simply changed his outfit, put on the black cloak he got in the secret realm to hide his figure, and went down the mountain to find Qian Yuzhi.

In order to prove that he is safe and sound, Jian Zun's private treasury still has an owner.It cannot be said to be "inheritance" now, it should be property.

Hanmen City is still busy with traffic, and there is a constant flow of people.

Many casual cultivators on the street were wearing black cloaks, and Meng Xueli's attire blended into the crowd and disappeared.

Meng Xueli approached "Hengtong Juyuan" and asked the clerk to take him to meet Qian Renren, and was about to prove his identity, but he was immediately led upstairs by the shopkeeper.

It turned out that a while ago, Qing Dai and others came to "Hengtong Juyuan" to prepare for the loose repair alliance. The business was too big and they had not finished talking. They made an appointment to talk about it for the last time today.

Seeing that he was dressed as a casual cultivator, the shopkeeper also reported Qian Zhenren's name, and thought he was from Qingdai.

Qian Yuzhi was looking at the account book before the case: "Miss Qing, you are early."

Meng Xueli took off the cloak and hood: "Renren Qian, how is business doing recently?"

Qian Yuzhi was slightly taken aback when he saw him, but he was not surprised, and stood up to greet him: "Elder Meng, if you survive a catastrophe, you must have good fortune!"

Meng Xueli smiled: "I'm used to refitting in the secret realm, this body looks like a casual cultivator, so I don't look like a girl."

Qian Yuzhi poured tea for him and apologized: "It's a good thing you're wearing a black cloak, and there are many people in the humble city, and the situation is complicated recently..."

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time. First, they talked about the rebellion of the Taishang elders' faction and the conspiracy in the secret realm of Mingyue Lake. After exchanging news, Meng Xueli felt a little heavy.But not to despair, Ji Xiao is still there, and he can still practice, so he has unlimited hope.

He didn't mention Ji Xiao's rebirth, if Ji Xiao was willing, he would naturally come to see Qian Yuzhi.

Qian Yuzhi shook his folding fan: "My opinion is that you don't show up for the time being, wait for a suitable time. Oh, by the way, there are rumors outside now, so don't care if you hear it."

Meng Xueli asked curiously, "Tell me what? I'll just listen to it for fun, but it's okay to say it."

When Qian Yuzhi saw that he really wanted to read it, he sent someone to present several volumes of market stories.

The shopkeeper presented the script and whispered a few words to him.

Qian Yuzhi knocked on the folding fan: "Elder Meng, I have an appointment today to discuss business, so I'm afraid I won't be with you for a while."

Meng Xueli took the storybook: "You're welcome, Master Qian will be busy first."

Qian Yuzhi left in a hurry.Meng Xueli didn't know that the casual cultivators in the secret realm who had been fooled by his false names were now next door.

He flipped through a volume of story books with great interest, and gradually couldn't laugh.

Such as "Changchun Ji" and "Xueli Zhuan" are really glamorous and exaggerated, and they write him and Ji Xiao like a demon concubine and a tyrant.

The more Meng Xueli read it, the more ashamed and angry she became, her face turned red after reading several books.He thought, it's obviously nonsense, it says "Meng Xueli" sings and sings every night, Ji Xiao only favors her, and her life is much better than mine.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiao's image of a mirage beast in his arms filled his mind.

Humans and demons are inseparable, how can Ji Xiao embrace a foreign demon?Why should I avoid Ji Xiao and give away my Taoist companion?

Meng Xueli put the script into her arms and decided to take action.

When Qian Yuzhi came back, Meng Xueli's expression was determined: "Renren Qian, I want to buy a new dress!"

After talking about the business, Qian Yuzhi was beaming with joy, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned the steward again.Not long after, there were more than ten wooden stands, hanging with all kinds of splendid and beautiful clothes.

Meng Xueli showed a troubled expression.

Qian Yuzhi was used to the various expressions of customers, so he said empathetically, "Don't worry, what do you want? There are still many in the store."

But I thought in my heart, these are the latest materials and the best products, but they are far inferior to what Ji Xiao gave to Meng Xueli. I am afraid that Meng Xueli's vision has been raised, and now she doesn't like other clothes at all.It's so good, how can I think of buying clothes.

Meng Xueli: "It doesn't have to be embroidered with runes, it doesn't have to be invulnerable to fire and water, it doesn't have to be invulnerable, it just needs to look good."

Qian Yuzhi breathed a sigh of relief: "It's easy."

The "Hengtong Juyuan" store has a big business and has its own embroidery workshop and cloth shop. Qian Yuzhi accompanied Meng Xueli downstairs to choose.

Meng Xueli turned around, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "That's it!"

Qian Yuzhi looked along his fingers, his expression became very subtle: "Elder Meng, are you sure?"

Meng Xueli made up his mind like breaking his wrist: "Yes!"

This time, if you don't succeed, you will be successful.

Buy new clothes in the East Market, new boots in the West Market, belts in the South Market, and hairpins in the North Market.

When Meng Xueli returned to Changchun Peak, it was already dusk, and she saw Yu Qishu talking to the pond.I don't know what he said to the three dragons, the koi jumped happily, splashing crystal water.

"Xiao Yu, come!"

"Brother Meng! Where did you go?"

Meng Xueli and Yu Qishu hooked their shoulders together: "Xiao Yu, Brother Meng knows that you are a filial disciple. Master has to deal with a big event. I wrong you to leave the peak for two days. How about it?"

Yu Qishu was at a loss: "Do you need my help?"

Meng Xueli smiled: "Silly boy, there is no way to help with this kind of thing!"

Yu Qishu scratched her head: "Well, that's fine. Wait, I'm not in the peak, where do I live?"

"'Hengtong Juyuan' is so big, there will be a bed for you, right? Think of a way."

Yu Qishu thought it made sense, and with the mouse in her arms and the mirage in her pocket, she went to look for Qian Yuzhi.If possible, Meng Xueli really wanted him to take the three sea jellyfish away as well.

After Yu Qishu left, Meng Xueli flipped through the script many times, waiting excitedly for the night to fall.

In the middle of the night that day, Ji Xiao was writing in front of the desk, when he heard three beeps of "duk tuk tuk" and the window was knocked.

The outline of the shadow of the person who knocked on the window is projected on the paper window, flickering with the candlelight.

Ji Xiao smiled.

Dare to knock on Jixiao's window at night, who else but Meng Xueli next door?But she didn't know why Meng Xueli didn't leave the front door, but wanted to sneak through the window instead.

Do you have to pay attention to where you go out and come back from there?

Ji Xiao opened the window, slightly surprised.

Meng Xueli was different tonight.

His thin lips were slightly parted, and a budding peach blossom was lightly held between his teeth.The petals are fresh and tender with crystal clear morning dew, just like his cheeks are glowing, and his eyes are shining with water.

Regardless of the attire, this face has the impact of "the peach blossoms on the human face complement each other".

Under the moonlight as clear as silver, it really looks like ghosts and ghosts that confuse scholars at night.

Ji Xiao stood up, stretched out his hands, intending to hug the little Taoist couple in from the window: "Come."

Unexpectedly, Meng Xueli was overjoyed when she saw Ji Xiao's emotion and knew that the good thing had happened, so she raised her true essence first, jumped into the window, and plunged into the arms of her Taoist companion.

"Cough, cough, cough." Ji Xiao suffocated for breath, took two steps back before standing still, covering his mouth and coughing low.

Meng Xueli raised her eyes, and immediately shivered with fright, the peach blossom branch between her teeth fell to the ground with a "click", and Ji Xiao's face turned pale, and blood overflowed from her lips.

He helped Jixiao wipe the corners of his mouth, and apologized in a hurry: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault!"

Meng Xueli checked the pulse of Taoist couple, "Hey, you clearly haven't recovered yet, why didn't you tell me?"

Ji Xiao waved his hand: "It's okay, just rest for a while."

Meng Xueli bowed her head in shame.

He doesn't want to be human anymore.As a mink, you can at least get into the snowdrift and pretend nothing happened.

Meng Xueli helped Jixiao sit on the bed, and patted him on the back gently, remembering to control his strength this time.

Seeing his cautious appearance, Ji Xiao smiled and said, "What do you want from me?"

Meng Xueli said in a muffled voice, "...I just want to come and see you."

He looked at the candles, paper and pen on the table, and saw that the ink on the paper was still wet, so he just changed the subject: "What were you writing just now?"

Ji Xiao: "I'll write you the second volume of "Entering the Tao for the First Time", "Li Dao Xin"."

Meng Xueli had nothing to say.The Taoist companion worried about his practice day and night, but he was full of bad ideas, repaying his kindness and revenge, knocking the Taoist companion until he vomited blood.

Ji Xiao looked at him carefully, the little Taoist couple dressed up carefully tonight, her black hair was half-up and half-up, draped softly behind her back, her cheeks were slightly flushed, she was really more beautiful than a flower.

And yet he was wearing a... big red gold flower cloak!

The red cloak is embroidered with gold thread, what is it embroidered on?Qinglong and Baihu are in front, Suzaku and Xuanwu are behind.

Looking closely at the hairpin, it turned out to be the majestic Erlong Zhuangzhu, shining brilliantly in the candlelight.

In the past, Meng Xueli wore a snow-blue brocade jacket with a silver cape. The style was luxurious, but the color scheme was light and elegant.

Tonight is like this... Prestige is prestige, but it is really strange, very strange.

Ji Xiao suppressed a smile: "Why did you change into new clothes?"

Meng Xueli was originally alert, but at this moment, the atmosphere was awkward, and Ji Xiao, who was facing him, couldn't make up any nonsense.

He murmured: "The storybook said I was wearing a red gauze with a peach blossom in my mouth. I thought, it's cold in gauze, so let's just wear a cloak. Anyway, it's all red, so it must look better than gauze."

Hearing what he said, Ji Xiao suddenly became interested, and insisted on asking the bottom line: "What script? Show me."

Meng Xueli took out a volume of books from her bosom, and handed them to him, hoping that Ji Xiao would read it and understand her intentions.

Ji Xiao flipped through a few pages, but smiled.He smiled gently, as if tolerating the mischievous child: "Stop watching such things in the future."

Meng Xueli asked carefully: "Aren't you angry?"

Ji Xiao thought he was referring to the content of the script: "Through the ages, the merits and demerits of the ages are judged by later generations, so don't worry about it."

Meng Xueli had no choice but to nod: "Then I'll go back first."

But if things go on like this, when will they be able to become "true" Taoist companions?

Meng Xueli is worried.

Ji Xiao: "Wait."

Meng Xueli's eyes suddenly brightened, like a lake full of stars.

Ji Xiao stared into his eyes, and said gently: "Even if you don't come, I will go to find you tomorrow, and it happens that you are here tonight, why don't we go together..."

Meng Xueli looked up expectantly, and even wanted to tiptoe.

Ji Xiao: "Let's take a look at the Taoist scriptures."

Like cold water pouring out a charcoal fire, the light in Meng Xueli's eyes went out, the corners of her mouth remained in a smile, but her expression became stiff.

Ji Xiao took Meng Xueli's hand and led him to the desk: "Look, this is "Li Dao Xin" I wrote for you, do you like it?"

Meng Xueli said blankly: "I like it. I really like it."

Ji Xiao: "You have already finished studying "The Beginner's Entrance to the Tao". If you read this book again, you will definitely benefit a lot."

The lights flickered, casting warm light on the room.The two sat and discussed, spending a long night together.

The author has something to say: Meng Xueli knocked on the window and popped up: your little mink suddenly appeared!

Ji Xiao carried a mink into the window: Come in and study!
