Chapter 8 Chapter 8 It must not be my senior brother
The other party intends to hide his identity.
Ji Chu was startled at first, but then quickly realized that this might be the person who helped her yesterday.
It is natural for a senior with high cultivation level to save a disciple but not want to reveal his identity to avoid getting into trouble.
She pondered for a moment and said to the void:
"Thank you so much for saving me yesterday, Senior. I wanted to thank you in person, but you didn't show up."
Meng Yuci did not answer.
Yesterday, something unexpected happened. Ji Chu's meridians suddenly reversed, and she showed signs of going crazy. He had to step in to stop her from hurting herself.
But after all, there are differences between men and women. Even if monks don't have so many taboos, it is still inappropriate for him to enter and leave Ji Chu's room late at night.
So today he only separated out a wisp of his spiritual consciousness, which would appear after she entered into meditation. Without showing up, he could help her repair her meridians.
Ji Chu waited for a while, but did not receive any reply from the "senior", so she knew that the other party was not in front of her at the moment, and he must have just sent his spiritual consciousness here.
He just didn't know why this person came to help him. Ji Chu was a little doubtful. He counted all the people he knew in his previous life, but still had no idea. He didn't dare to act rashly.
A few words came to mind again:
"If your mind is not stable, your luck will not flow smoothly."
Seeing that Ji Chu was still lost in thought, a stream of spiritual power struck her forehead, neither too light nor too heavy, bringing her back to her senses.
"Meditation."
Ji Chu said "Oh" and withdrew his thoughts.
The mind is withdrawn, and the spiritual power begins to circulate in the dantian and flows along the meridians.
Ji Chu raised his hand and used his spiritual power to repair the damaged meridians.
But after a while, she couldn't help but think about it again.
I had only heard before that many powerful cultivators had strong spiritual awareness and could use their spiritual awareness to enter the other person's thoughts when the other person was in a state of meditation, thereby interfering with his judgment.
When a monk enters into meditation, his five senses are closed, and his vigilance and perception of the surrounding things will decrease, not to mention that he has to guard against powerful beings who are much more advanced than himself.
Now that this senior appeared when she was in meditation, it would be fine if he only wanted to help her, but if he had any bad intentions, she might not be able to defend herself.
The other party seemed to know what she was thinking and said at the right time:
"I have no evil intentions."
Ji Chu: “…”
She smiled awkwardly, calmed herself down, and began to circulate her spiritual power again.
Originally, he was just repairing his meridians while entering a state of meditation, and his random thoughts were unlimited.
Now that there is a senior "supervisor" with profound cultivation who can even guess what she is thinking, Ji Chu feels particularly insecure.
She stopped and looked up into the void:
"senior?"
The other party did not answer.
But Ji Chu knew he was listening, so he said:
"You came all the way here to supervise me repairing my meridians. Is it because of Elder Shen?"
Meng Yuci was confused at first, but then seeing Ji Chu's cautious and vigilant expression, he immediately figured out the reason.
Because of what Shen Ke said during the day.
Chen Ke said during the day that she had "evil intentions", and although it was biased, it finally reached Ji Chu's ears.
In addition, she was almost possessed by a demon yesterday, so she was worried. She came here because she believed what Shen Ke said and came to "supervise" her.
"Help" and "supervision" have different meanings to her.
Meng Yuci thought for a moment and said:
"You helped me out of necessity, but I owe you nothing in return. This is of no benefit to my Dao."
Ji Chu was stunned again when he heard this.
He came specifically to guide me in my cultivation in order to "repay my kindness."
This reason is reasonable.
When a cultivator is cultivating his mind, the most taboo thing is to hold on to grudges and hatred in his heart and be unable to let go, which will eventually disrupt his spiritual heart.
But... when did she help the other person? Why didn't she have any recollection of it?
Ji Chu recalled for a long time with a distressed look on his face, but in the end, it was because the time since he was reborn was too long ago and he could not remember anything at all.
In this case, we can only rely on intuition. The senior's words are very firm, and his attitude is very frank and upright. He doesn't seem to have any ulterior motives. In all likelihood, he is a good person.
Ji Chu simply stopped worrying about it and started to concentrate on mobilizing his spiritual power.
Unexpectedly, I heard the other party say:
"What others say may not be yours, so don't worry about it."
Ji Chu's hand, which was suspended in mid-air, trembled violently, and the angry voice of her senior brother from her previous life reappeared in her ears:
"Don't you know who you are? Do you need to find out from others?"
"Ji Chu, who are you? Tell me in person and show me in person."
“…”
She was stunned for a moment, and then her emotions were in turmoil.
At a certain moment, she almost thought that this so-called "kind-hearted senior" was her senior brother Meng Yuci.
But it's impossible.
At this time in the previous life, my senior brother was still in seclusion and it was impossible for him to appear here.
Moreover, the name "Meng Yuci" was well-known throughout the sect. If he came out of seclusion, it would definitely cause a sensation. She had never heard any news about him until now.
It must not be...
Fortunately not.
Ji Chu lowered his eyes and unconsciously clenched his sleeves.
She tried to remain calm, but the spiritual energy that had been flowing peacefully became agitated again, rushing through her meridians and tearing the repaired areas apart again.
Meng Yuci didn't know why she suddenly became excited.
But seeing that Ji Chu's state of being on the verge of "going astray" yesterday reappeared, he could only suppress his doubts and use his spiritual power to lock the meridians around her body.
Ji Chu stood there motionless, unlike the frantic resistance she had yesterday. This saved him energy and he quickly suppressed her chaotic spiritual power.
Just looking at her aggrieved and disheartened look, Meng Yuci felt that the situation seemed even more serious than yesterday.
Why?
Because of what he said?
He had no ill intentions and was just trying to comfort her. How could he have caused Ji Chu to cry for no reason?
Meng Yuci was puzzled.
Ji Chu avoided talking about the reason and just said:
"Nothing, I'm fine. Thank you, Senior, for saving me again. I will continue my training."
As she said this, her eyes began to redden and she looked like she was about to cry at any moment.
Meng Yuci: "..."
Ji Chu has already stretched out his hand to continue mobilizing his spiritual power.
But her eyes were blurred with tears and she couldn't see the direction of her meridians clearly. Her meridians were messed up by her.
"That's all."
Meng Yuci couldn't bear to watch it anymore and spoke out to stop him:
"If you're in a bad mood, take a break. It's better to do twice the work for half the result."
Ji Chu had been waiting for him to say this. Upon hearing this, he immediately pinched himself and forced himself to come out of his meditation state.
She rubbed her eyes and opened them.
The senior's casual words reminded her of her senior brother, and she was even so sad that she couldn't practice normally.
Ji Chu felt that this was not a good idea.
She has been reborn and started all over again. Even her senior brother doesn't recognize her yet. Why is she sad here?
I no longer have the energy to meditate and practice.
Ji Chu then pushed the door open and walked out.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the mountain was exceptionally quiet. The evening breeze brought the faint fishy smell of stirred river water, which seemed to be mixed with the smell of charcoal fire.
Ji Chu: “?”
Who is so bold as to set fire to the Fu Yu Xian Sect?
She followed the smell and found the back mountain.
A barbecue grill was made of several branches, with a fire in the middle and smoke rising from it.
Xu Ying rolled up her sleeves and was brushing sauce on the fish skewered on the grill.
When she heard someone coming, she was startled at first, but then she realized it was Ji Chu. She immediately relaxed and raised her hand to quietly call her over:
"Hurry, hurry, I'm just about to call you!"
Ji Chu walked over and asked: "Why are you grilling fish here? Don't you forbid disciples to light fires in the back mountains?"
Jiang Chengxu came over with two fish:
"Don't worry, we'll leave right after we finish eating, and no one will notice."
Ji Chu sat down next to Xu Ying.
Xu Ying moved quickly, sprinkling seasonings and brushing sauce on the other two fish. The smell of cumin overwhelmed the charcoal fire, whetting people's appetites.
The melancholy that had been weighing on Ji Chu's heart was dispelled a lot.
She hugged her knees with her hands and looked at the fish on the grill with anticipation.
Xu Ying and Jiang Chengxu cooperated well, one sprinkling seasoning while the other grilled the fish. It was obviously not the first time they did this kind of "activity" that violated the rules of the sect.
Three fish were skewered on a branch and turned up and down, left and right. Soon the fish skin began to crisp and curl up, and the fresh fragrance of the fish wafted out.
Ji Chu and the other two's eyes lit up. They quickly took the fish off the grill and started eating one each.
The grilled fish that we waited for half a day were very small, only the size of a palm, and were eaten in just a few bites.
Xu Ying was not very satisfied: "It has too many thorns and it doesn't taste good."
Ji Chu agreed: "And the taste... is a bit strange, as if it's a bit old, the meat is very tough."
"Oh."
A sneer came from behind: "This fish is indeed not young."
Ji Chu and Xu Ying looked at Jiang Chengxu. He was lowering his head to put out the fire. The words just now were not said by him.
The three of them looked at each other in shock and turned around at the same time.
Li Jingmo, a senior brother from Mingwu Hall, was standing behind Ji Chu and said with a smile:
"Banban fish is a fairy treasure recorded in the sect. It takes a hundred years to produce seeds and a hundred years to grow."
He looked at Ji Chu, smiling kindly:
"This junior sister is right. A fish that only comes once every two hundred years is really tough to grill."
Ji Chu: “……!”
She and Xu Ying hurriedly stood up from the ground. Li Jingmo had already lowered his head and started writing in his notebook:
"Ji Chu, Xu Ying, Jiang Chengxu, 50 points deducted for setting fire in the back mountain, and 100 points deducted for stealing the sect's immortal treasure."
Xu Ying smiled bitterly:
"Brother Li, why are you still on duty so late at night? It must be so tiring..."
Li Jingmo: "It's no use saying anything."
Xu Ying immediately put away her smile: "One hundred and fifty points is too much! Can't you deduct a little less?"
Ji Chu and Jiang Chengxu nodded.
Li Jingmo put away the small notebook and sneered:
"You know more now? It's too late! You were the one who enjoyed the fish the most just now."
Xu Ying suddenly felt as if she had been hit by frost.
After seeing off Li Jingmo, who was "always losing points", the three of them sat on the ground with their backs to each other.
Looking up at the moon in the sky, Jiang Chengxu sighed:
"I only earn 50 points for taking on a monster hunting mission once a month. I've worked for three months for nothing."
Xu Ying also sighed:
"One thousand points are required to participate in the Immortal Questioning Conference. After the 150 points were deducted, I almost couldn't go. Luckily, it was only 150..."
Questioning the Immortal Conference?
Ji Chu's mind moved.
She almost forgot that at this time in her previous life, the disciples of Fu Yu Xian Zong were most concerned about the upcoming Questioning Immortals Conference.
Jiang Chengxu said mysteriously:
"Rumor has it, the top three... can get to see the divine bones."
Xu Ying and Ji Chu both gasped.
The divine bones are relics of the gods and contain profound mysteries.
If a cultivator could see it once, he might be able to attain enlightenment and make a breakthrough.
Ji Chu thought more.
In her previous life, she was unable to participate in the Immortal Questioning Conference, so she didn't know much about the specific details, and she didn't know that the top three could see the divine bones.
The first time she heard about the divine bones in her previous life was when Xu Ying died protecting them. She was slandered for colluding with the demons and ultimately died tragically because of them.
So the divine bone appeared so early?
Thinking about his past life, Ji Chu made up his mind to see the divine bones before Xue Xianchen.
The most urgent task was to find out how many points he was missing from the 1,000 points required for the Questioning Immortals Conference.
*
After Ji Chu left, Meng Yuci's consciousness returned to himself.
He sat quietly in the room.
The evil thoughts on the divine bone severely injured his soul. He should have taken the time to regulate his breathing and heal his wounds, but the image of Ji Chu with red eyes always appeared in his mind, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
Was he a little too harsh on her?
Ji Chu is different from others after all.
The master let it go, Shen Ke had ulterior motives. He was the only senior brother, but he had never gotten along with her.
She is just a little child. Without the proper guidance of teachers, she becomes lonely, sensitive and fragile. This is normal and she needs his care even more.
Meng Yuci thought.
When he comes to accompany Ji Chu in her practice tomorrow, he will definitely speak softer and be more kind in his attitude so that she can feel the love of her teacher.
