Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Are you familiar with him?
Because of the ridiculous stories that this powerful man had told before, Ji Chu didn't really believe the witch tribe he described, and could even be said to be wary.
She was afraid that when she turned to the next page, the witches would turn into cows in front of this powerful man and run away with strange cries.
Fortunately not.
Ji Chu breathed a sigh of relief after turning to the last page.
She closed the book contentedly, and glanced at it casually. She saw that the author's name seemed to be written on the title page, which was "The Unruly Taoist".
The name is weird too.
Ji Chu thought.
The last story was not so interesting and even seemed ordinary. She had nothing to comment on, so she planned to put the book back and leave.
As she leaned out from the corner, she heard two footsteps approaching.
"Zhao Yiyan insisted that he saw golden eyes, which was terrifying..."
Golden eyes?
Ji Chu paused, then quickly shrank back.
The footsteps stopped at the fourth floor stairs. No one noticed she was hiding there. Another voice rang out:
"He almost became possessed by a demon. What he saw might not be true. Don't take it too seriously."
"I know, but his description was too realistic. He said something about red gold and no pupils. How could a person have eyes like that..."
The two men had already gone up the stairs to the fifth floor, and the rest of their conversation could no longer be heard.
Only after the two men walked away did Ji Chu carefully come out from the corner.
The red-gold eyes without pupils were something she had seen on Xue Xianchen before she died in her previous life.
But it was too chaotic at that time, and she was caught off guard and had no time to react, so she was stabbed to death by Shaowei Sword.
Now, when he heard these two people mention the "golden eyes", the scene of his previous life resurfaced, and Ji Chu remembered:
He seemed to have said two words to her at that time.
"Offer, I."
What does this mean?
Ji Chu had a headache thinking about it, and felt that he had died in a confused state in his previous life.
It turns out that the "Golden Eyes" appeared so early, but she knew nothing about it. In the end, she died before she had time to figure anything out!
Now she had to admit that in her previous life, her senior brother always said she was stupid with a cold face and told her not to make stupid decisions behind his back. Maybe... he really meant it.
She really knew nothing in her previous life!
Sometimes information asymmetry can really determine life and death. The news delivered to him is related to his death in his previous life, and Ji Chu cannot ignore it.
She sent a message to Xu Ying, telling her that she had finished sweeping and was leaving first, and then she quietly followed the two disciples, intending to check out the situation.
After receiving the news, Xu Ying wiped the dust off her face, dodged a magic weapon that was thrown at her, and said in a heroic tone:
"Don't worry, go back and repair your meridians as soon as possible. We are here with you!"
Ji Chu had no suspicion of anything else.
The two disciples took the books from the library and left. Ji Chu followed them all the way to Qingji Peak.
Qingji Peak is very quiet. Yanyi Pavilion and the spiritual beast rabbit are both here. Ji Chu has been here many times and is very familiar with it.
Therefore, she could see at a glance that the two disciples did not go towards Yanyi Pavilion, but went towards a secluded and deserted house.
Ji Chu thought about it and didn't follow directly. Instead, he squatted among a group of rabbits basking in the sun and waited patiently for a while.
Not long after, the two disciples pushed the door open again. Elder Tan was talking to them with a book in his hand, and he did not forget to set a ban on the door.
Ji Chu stood up only after the three people walked away.
The rabbits in a circle suddenly noticed a person squatting in the middle of them. They were startled and kicked their hind legs to scatter.
Ji Chu walked straight to the door.
The houses of the Fu Yu Xian Zong were built by each disciple. They have different styles and sizes, but they all emphasize simplicity and casualness.
This house was obviously not built to be habitable. The windows were located very high and could hardly be reached with one's hand. It looked like a prison cell in the human world, with only a small window above the head to let in light.
I think the person locked up inside should be the "almost possessed" Zhao Yiyan.
Ji Chu raised his hand as if to push the door, and the restriction on the door began to glow.
Ji Chu then withdrew his hand.
She paced around the door a few steps and her eyes fell on the tiny window.
Why not just take a look and see if it's Zhao Yiyan inside...
Ji Chu did it right away. He rolled up his sleeves, walked around to the bottom of the window, practiced for a long time, took a few steps back, and then jumped up on the stone, barely climbing to the edge of the window.
Suddenly, a figure appeared outside the window. It was a very pretty little junior sister. Zhao Yiyan, who was staring at the sky and thinking about life, shuddered.
“Who are you?!”
Ji Chu's feet were hanging in the air, his hands were hanging on the window, barely relying on his arms to maintain balance, and asked the people inside:
"Are you Senior Brother Zhao Yiyan?"
Even though he was the one being held captive, Zhao Yiyan couldn't help but feel bad for Qingji Peak's security.
"...I've told you so many times not to just seal the main door, how come they forgot to seal the windows too!"
Ji Chu: “…”
"I want to ask a question."
She said:
"Brother Zhao, have you ever seen a pair of golden eyes? They're really big, they don't have pupils, and they look really weird?"
Zhao Yiyan frowned:
"They even spread patients' privacy everywhere!"
It seems to be true.
Ji Chu quickly asked:
"Where did you see it? What happened then? What happened next? How did you escape?"
"There's no such thing as escaping or not. I just killed a demon. Its eyes turned golden before it died, but it only lasted for a moment. No one else saw it. Maybe I was just dazzled..."
Zhao Yiyan was talking, and suddenly said:
"You're so curious, have you seen it before?"
Without waiting for Ji Chu to answer, he said:
"I have to remind you that some people speculate that my possession is closely related to seeing the golden eyes. If you have also seen them..."
"No, no, how could I have seen it..."
Ji Chu naturally would not admit that he had seen it in his previous life and decisively denied it.
The existence of the "golden eyes" was confirmed, and they appeared when killing demons, which means that the golden eyes she saw before her death in her previous life were not an illusion.
I always have a hunch that it's an extremely important clue.
However, Zhao Yiyan had already reminded her so, if she continued to ask, she would probably have trouble getting away.
Ji Chu then said:
"Then I'll go first. Thank you, Brother Zhao."
However, just as she was about to leave, she suddenly realized that the window was too small and she seemed to be stuck on the edge of the window, with both arms stiff.
So she quickly tapped the window:
"Brother Zhao, I'm stuck! Please lend me a hand."
Zhao Yiyan quickly reached out to help her.
Unexpectedly, when Ji Chu was about to grab Zhao Yiyan's arm, she suddenly felt her collar tighten. Then the scene in front of her eyes blurred, and a kind-hearted person grabbed her collar from behind and lifted her down from the window.
Ji Chu was turned around and put on the ground. Just as he was about to say thank you, he looked up and met Meng Yuci's handsome face with no expression.
Ji Chu: “…”
Meng Yuci had seen Ji Chu a long time ago.
She was hiding stealthily among a group of rabbits, with eyes brighter than a cat's, but she herself didn't notice it and thought she was hiding well.
He wanted to see what she was going to do, but he didn't expect her to be able to get herself stuck on the window.
Meng Yuci looked at Ji Chu, who was standing in front of him with an honest look on his face, and asked calmly:
"What are you doing?"
Ji Chu: “…”
She turned her head and glanced at Zhao Yiyan.
Zhao Yiyan poked his head out of the window and made a "X" sign to her with his arm.
It seems that "golden eyes" really cannot be mentioned casually.
Ji Chu retracted his gaze and said:
"The security at Qingji Peak is not in place. Senior Brother Zhao asked me to remind everyone."
Zhao Yiyan nodded with satisfaction.
Ji Chu waved at him from behind.
Meng Yuci naturally knew that she was just trying to fool him.
But when he saw Ji Chu and others flirting with each other to fool him, he always felt inexplicably irritated, and his mind couldn't help but recall what Ji Chu said, "I am not familiar with my senior brother."
He was silent for a few breaths, then suddenly asked:
"You know him well?"
Ji Chu: “Ah?”
"Brother Zhao?"
She subconsciously turned to look at Zhao Yiyan, who made several "X" signs at her in a row, and then waved his hand at Meng Yuci to prove his innocence.
Ji Chu then shook his head:
"No, not at all. I was just feeding the rabbits and happened to pass by."
After she finished speaking, looking at Meng Yuci's cold eyes, she suddenly had an idea and added:
"Of course I'm not as familiar with you as you, brother!"
Meng Yuci then looked at her.
The cunning glint in her eyes did not escape his notice.
But somehow, he suddenly felt relieved and did not choose to expose her lies. He just said:
“If you have nothing to do, go back and practice.
Senior brother was so easygoing that Ji Chu was a little bit unconvinced.
However, repairing the meridians is indeed the most important matter, and she has to deal with it quickly.
So she put aside her messy thoughts and went back to meditate.
This time she entered into meditation very smoothly, and the meridian network slowly unfolded in front of her, with more blocked and damaged areas than last time.
Fortunately, she had experience and was able to handle the situation easily, and her efficiency was much higher than before.
When he was halfway through replenishing the energy, Ji Chu noticed an extremely serious blockage. The spiritual energy was accumulated at the edge, and it hurt when touched.
She didn't know how to start for a moment and looked at the meridian map with a distressed expression.
"Introduce Yang Fire, retreat Yin Talisman. Coordinate with breathing, positive and negative cycles."
A voice appeared in time and solved her confusion in just a few words.
Ji Chu did as he was told, and the blocked areas cleared up with his breathing, and the spiritual energy began to flow in an orderly manner.
She then looked into the void with a look of surprise:
"Senior! You're here!"
After that, she said gratefully:
"If it weren't for the seniors to guide me, I would have been at a loss for what to do for three days and three nights alone."
Meng Yuci was silent for a moment.
Every time he came here with his spiritual sense, he would hide his identity. Ji Chu didn't know that he was the mysterious senior who had been helping her.
Seeing Ji Chu's defenseless happiness, Meng Yuci suddenly asked:
"Your senior brother has come out of seclusion, why don't you go ask him?"
He didn't know why he asked this question.
Logically speaking, whether it is the "mysterious senior" or "Senior Brother Ji Chu", isn't he himself?
But after the words were out of his mouth, he inexplicably felt a little curious and wanted to know how Ji Chu would answer in front of this "unknown senior".
The author has something to say:
----------------------
Senior Brother: (Seemingly not caring, but actually very concerned about “familiarity”) Which one do you choose, me or my “small one”?
Ji Chu: [Please] Don't test people's hearts [Please]
