Chapter 42

At dinner time, the sky is high and the clouds are light.

The night gradually surged from the eastern horizon, causing the fiery red in the west to gradually dissipate, and finally was collected into that huge sky scar.

The students of the Enlightenment Field got up and headed to the Immortal Dining Hall, stopping when passing the White Jade Stone Bridge.

They saw Instructor Cao sitting on the stone steps, guarding an empty money bag, cursing angrily about the degeneration of the world.

It's strange that he didn't want it when he gave it, but he only likes to grab it!

What kind of strange habit is this?

The students coming from the Enlightenment Field saw him cursing and didn't say a word, bypassing him, and when they reached the Immortal Dining Hall, they saw Ji You and the fairy with extraordinary temperament sitting opposite each other.

There is only one sect in Lingzhou, named Lingjian Mountain.

On the day of the winter solstice, they went to Hongding Tower to eat, and Ban Yangshu once said that Lingjian Mountain was originally named Lingjian Mountain.

The origin of this name is because during the ancient ignorant period, the Heavenly Dao once bestowed seven sect sacred objects, and the founder of Lingjian Mountain controlled the Lingjian.

But after a thousand years of inheritance, an Abbot of Lingjian Mountain changed the word "Jian" because he was obsessed with sword Dao.

Ji You still remembers that on the first day he sensed the Heavenly Book, the fairy under the mountain asked him, why are you in my Jian.

At that time, he thought the word was "Sword," but later he felt more and more that the word was actually "Jian," the two words have the same pronunciation, and are both related to Lingjian Mountain.

Behind is the New Year's Day.

He and Lu Qingqiu and others went to Shengjing to eat together, during which Lou Siyi once talked about the rumors of Lingjian Mountain.

Ji You stopped his chopsticks, raised his head, and looked at Yan Shuyi who was eating vegetables in small bites: "I heard that Lingjian Mountain recently lost a Little Sword Master."

Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi raised her head and looked at him: "You are a bit smart."

"Sure enough, it's you..."

"But it's not lost, it's traveling abroad."

Ji You supported the table and said: "It's also a coincidence that I met you today, otherwise I wouldn't have a chance to tell you."

"What's the matter?"

"I might not be able to cultivate the Dao with you in the future."

Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi raised her head, her beautiful eyebrows frowning.

Ji You explained after seeing this: "The sect has an order, I might have to go out for a period of time, the return date is uncertain; I went to the Enlightenment Field today just to tell you in the Void Mountain, but didn't expect you to come."

Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi poked a few times in the rice with chopsticks: "Great, without you, the foot of the mountain can finally be quiet."

"Then why did you kick me the few days I didn't go after the winter solstice?"

"I like to kick you."

Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi finished speaking, feeling that she was a bit spoiled, so a trace of ferocity flashed in her eyes.

She is indeed the Little Sword Master who was lost from Lingjian Mountain, and the next Abbot who holds the Lingjian.

Elders in the family have trained her not to laugh or speak since she was a child, and every move is not angry and prestigious.

Her spoiled tone now must be his fault; it's better to kill him.

Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi wore a pair of moon-white boots with green trim, swaying small and exquisite on the table, and finally couldn't help but kick the other party's knee with a "slap."

Ji You raised his head after being kicked, and couldn't help but laugh out loud after a long silence.

Like Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi, he also knows that the person in front of him is her, but he is not sure if it is really her.

So when talking, he always brings a bit of caution, unlike the naturalness under the Void Mountain, especially after guessing that she might be the strongest direct disciple of the current age, this feeling is even more so.

In the Void Mountain, he even dared to call her Little Demoness when he was crazy, and even wanted to pinch her face.

But in reality, he felt a gap between the two.

Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi's performance was also different from under the Void Mountain; there was often a trace of coldness in her eyes, and her every move was full of sword qi, as if she was resisting being very familiar with him, with a sense of distance.

But with this kick, the strangeness in his heart suddenly faded a bit.

"How long do you plan to stay in Shengjing?"

"After seeing you in Shengjing this time, I have other things to do, and I will leave soon."

Although Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi has been emphasizing "on a whim," "passing by Shengjing," and "just walking around and going back," she will always reveal inadvertently that I just wanted to see you.

In fact, it is indeed the case.

If it weren't for him in Shengjing, Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi might not have turned back halfway.

If it is said that she came specifically to see him, there is really nothing to quibble about.

Ji You nodded: "Have you found a place to stay?"

"The mountain walkers of Lingjian Mountain all live in Hengfeng Inn; I have already notified them to keep a room."

"Do you want to have a cup of tea before leaving?"

"Okay."

Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi got up, followed him and left the Immortal Dining Hall, deciding to have a cup of tea before leaving, so the two returned to the Elegant Garden of Green Water Lake one after another.

Ji You began to light the stove to boil tea, while Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi began to visit.

During this period, the two chatted one after another, such as this house is small but cute, and such as what the word "bandit" carved on Ji You's wall means, chatting until the tea was fragrant.

How to say it.

Ji You is clearly the type who doesn't often stay alone with women, and Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi's pretense of coldness is also a bit clumsy.

The two observed each other in a way of testing between familiar and unfamiliar.

This is a very interesting thing; on the contrary, what they chatted about, how the other party answered, did not go into their hearts at all.

"Tea is ready, be careful it's hot."

"Hmm."

"Do you want to eat roasted sweet potatoes?"

Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi turned around with her hands behind her back, looking at Ji You holding a sweet potato, and looked at him again.

Well, anyway, no rush, then eat a roasted sweet potato before leaving.

In the early morning of winter, the cold air condensed frost on all things, and the morning sun appeared on the horizon, like light ink.

After a night, the charcoal fire in the cramped room was still burning, but the charcoal ash was white, and it was about to go out.

Cultivators can use spiritual energy to resist the cold, but ancient charcoal fire is not just for heating.

It can also be used to roast sweet potatoes and brew tea.

In addition, sitting a pot of water on it to boil slowly can also maintain the humidity in the room.

Ji You walked out of the courtyard along the thin mist of the early morning, poured out the cleaned stove ash, then filled the stove with new charcoal, urged it to burn with spiritual energy, and threw two sweet potatoes at the bottom of the stove by the way.

Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi sat beside him, watching him keep busy, obedient and quiet.

They chatted, drank tea, and tested each other yesterday, and sat until late at night without knowing it.

So this Little Sword Master of Lingjian Mountain didn't return to Hengfeng Inn, but lived in the west bedroom of the room.

At this time, she got up early, her delicate face still written with sleepiness, so she held hot tea and surrounded the stove, her bright eyes blinking lightly.

"What do you want to eat in the morning?"

"No appetite, just eat a roasted sweet potato."

Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi answered, reached out and held the fire hook, raked out a roasted sweet potato, and peeled off the burnt fragrant skin.

And Ji You, after finishing his work, also found a small stool, sat down, took out the chopsticks, and continued to exercise the spiritual sense shortcut keys.

The two actually haven't met for a long time, but they have a natural feeling of living together more and more.

After a while, a chopstick flew in front of Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi, and after being stared at by her, it fell instantly.

Ji You opened his eyes slightly: "What is the sword Dao of Lingjian Mountain like?"

"Lingjian Mountain mainly cultivates the life-bound spirit sword, and won't use so many swords like you."

Although what she saw was chopsticks, Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi knew at a glance that he was practicing the basic sword moves of the sword control technique.

She yawned, somewhat lazily shrinking at the table beside her, two small feet close to the warm stove, continuing to watch the chopsticks dancing all over the sky, a burst of peace and tranquility in her heart.

In fact, before she came, she also thought about what it would be like for the two to meet.

In her thoughts, there might be two results.

That is, the man is not as interesting as she imagined, so the two chatted a few words, said goodbye to each other, and then parted ways.

Anyway, they are not very familiar, just fellow cultivators.

Or they chatted quite speculatively, sat and discussed the Dao for a day, and became friends of the same Dao.

But the Little Jianzhu never dreamed that one day she would shrink by the stove eating roasted sweet potatoes, and then lazily in this winter morning without thinking about cultivating the Dao and breaking through the realm.

And Ji You, in fact, is about the same as she thought.

Thinking that if the two met, they would either chat, then stroll around Shengjing, and become friends.

If they can return safely from the ruins, and meet again in the Void Mountain, perhaps there will be a kind of moving feeling of reunion after a long separation.

Or it's dry wood and fire, touching dual cultivation, because his realm is low, he is forcibly squeezed.

But he never dreamed that one day he would behave so gentlemanly, and felt what is called true Dao heart clarity.
