Chapter 55 Chapter 55 Are the demons crazy because of poverty?
Spring in late May.
Gu Jingyun arrived in Xizhou.
When Jiang Yan received the news, he was attending Master Hehuan's class with his fellow seniors.
The three of them sat cross-legged on different cushions, practicing the small and large circulations of qigong in their bodies.
Zhenren Hehuan paced back and forth between the three people, his steps light and slow, his eyes fixed on them.
After a while, the three of them opened their eyes one after another.
He Huan Zhenren tested their meridians one by one and nodded slightly: "They are not lazy. Their cultivation techniques have a solid foundation and their cultivation has improved."
Yan Yushan and Fan Yang need not be mentioned. Whether it is their daily practice or practicing together with their partners, they have never required any worry.
What made him most depressed was Jiang Yan.
In daily practice, Jiang Yan's diligence ranks first in the entire Hehuan Sect.
But when it comes to the secret method of the Hehuan Sect——
"Yan'er, have you found a partner?" asked Zhenren Hehuan.
Jiang Yan shook his head honestly: "Not yet, Master."
"..." He Huan Zhenren said sadly, "You have been a disciple for nearly a year, but you still haven't found a partner - not even one! So many people in the sect have confessed their love to you, don't you have any that you like?"
He originally wanted to use this question to question and provoke Jiang Yan, but the young man showed a shocked expression when he heard it.
"Ah?" Jiang Yan's face was full of surprise, and he asked blankly: "Who confessed to me?"
He Huan Zhenren: “…”
Yan Yushan and Fan Yang: "..."
How slow is this!
The three of them counted on their fingers all the people who came to confess their love, including Junior Brother Lin and Senior Brother Du who had just broken up not long ago.
Jiang Yan listened with a frown and was silent for a moment.
"So they're here to confess?"
Jiang Yan said: "What Senior Brother Du gave me turned out to be a love letter. I couldn't understand the poetry inside, so I gave it to -"
He Huan Zhenren asked: "Who did you give it to?"
Jiang Yan paused and said, "It was lost."
Three people: "..."
Jiang Yan scratched his cheek.
You can't say it was given to the Sirius Guards!
Song Hua once said that for safety reasons, it would be best not to tell anyone about the existence of the Heavenly Wolf Guard. Jiang Yan has kept it secret until now, and no one in his sect knows that there is a group of secret guards in his courtyard.
A kingfisher flew past the window, and three familiar bird calls rang out.
After such a long time, Jiang Yan had already become familiar with the communication with the Heavenly Wolf Guards. These three bird calls were the agreed code, informing him that there was important information to report.
Recently, for Jiang Yan, the most important piece of information is just one piece - Gu Jingyun has arrived.
Jiang Yan didn't show it on his face, but he was a little happy in his heart.
He couldn't wait to stand up and grab the Demon-Breaking Sword beside him.
"Master, I need to go down the mountain."
Master Hehuan waved his hands weakly, not wanting to ask where he was going at all.
"Go ahead. You've been staying in the mountains all day. It's good to go out for a walk. Since you can't find the person you like in the sect, maybe your destiny lies outside."
Jiang Yan made a "hmm" sound and opened his mouth to explain.
He's not looking for a partner, he's just looking for a close friend.
Master Hehuan has heard Jiang Yan say too many similar words that can make people have a heart attack.
True Man Hehuan didn't want to listen to the wooden demon's excuses and glared at him.
"If you want to leave, leave now!"
The master is angry again.
Jiang Yan bowed tactfully and said, "Master, I will take my leave."
He turned and walked away, his steps were a little big due to his eagerness, his footsteps were hurried, and his back was free and easy. The Demon-Breaking Sword was held diagonally in the young man's right hand, and the sword tassel hanging on the hilt was very eye-catching.
In less than half an incense stick of time, the sound of two horses galloping past outside the closed courtyard gate was heard, along with the light shout of the young man riding the horse.
The sound gradually faded away and the room returned to silence again.
Junior brother ran away.
He also brought his two beloved horses - Zhuifeng and Zhuyue.
He Huan Zhenren: "It would be fine if he rode one horse down the mountain, but why did he bring two?"
Yan Yushan guessed: "Horses need to move around frequently and cannot be kept in the stable all the time. Junior brother must be going for a walk."
Fan Yang also said: "He often rides one horse and then another, switching back and forth. This is not the first time."
Master He Huan sighed and said:
"The one-year assessment period is coming soon. I have inquired with other elders and found that almost all of them have found a perfect match. Some are more like sea kings and have raised several fish at the same time."
"The other elders are praying for the master's blessing, asking the disciples of the Sea King to behave themselves and not overturn the car, so as to avoid the Shura Field and be locked up in the small dark room."
"And me!"
"Every day, in the dead of night, I would sneak to burn incense for my master, praying that his ancestral grave would emit smoke and let Yan'er find a partner and graduate smoothly! If I were discovered, where would my face be!"
Master Hehuan became more and more angry as he spoke, and decided to drag his two disciples into the water as well.
"Why should I be the only one to worship the ancestors? You two should bring incense and candles and come with me tonight!"
Two disciples: "..."
The master has lost his mind.
Yan Yushan said calmly: "Yan'er should go too. It would be more sincere if the person concerned paid his respects in person."
He Huan Zhenren: "That makes sense. Wait for Yan Er to come back from riding his horse and ask him to come along."
Fan Yang hesitated to speak. He thought that if Jiang Yan went, it would be better not to speak. Otherwise, the master might be so angry that he would resurrect.
**
Jiang Yan brought Song Hua and several Wolf Guards, riding on Zhuyue, with Zhuifeng running happily beside them. They went down the mountain and quickly arrived at Yuyuan Inn.
The small building has a separate back door for entry and exit, so there is no need to go through the busy front door.
Jiang Yan did not dismount, but went in through the back door. Zhuifeng followed behind him, and suddenly he raised his head and neighed happily.
Jiang Yan was stunned and stopped by pulling the reins.
Someone is waiting at the end of the road.
The man was tall and handsome, and was talking to Ji Ziheng. Hearing the noise, the man turned around and looked over. His eyes met the immortal king riding on the horse. The coldness in his eyes was like ice and snow melting, and it disappeared in an instant.
The young master smiled and said in a gentle voice, "Ayan, long time no see."
Jiang Yan was stunned, staring blankly at the young master's handsome face, his heart beating like a drum, and the sounds in his ears seemed to be gradually fading away.
The world became silent, with only the young master's voice "Ayan" being so clear.
Before he could react, Zhuifeng suddenly stepped past him and hit Gu Jingyun with his head.
Gu Jingyun laughed and touched Zhuifeng: "Don't you hate me and only want Ayan?"
Zhuifeng bumped into him a few times with a "whoosh" sound.
Gu Jingyun took out some maltose and used it to coax the horse.
Jiang Yan slowly came back to his senses, not quite understanding why he had lost his mind just now.
To say that they hadn't seen each other for a long time was not true. He and Gu Jingyun often used a two-way mirror to video chat and could often see each other. They had not lost contact due to the long distance.
He couldn't figure it out, so he shook his head slightly in his heart and put the messy thoughts behind him.
Jiang Yan got off his horse and walked forward quickly. Before he could say anything, Gu Jingyun embraced him.
oh!
I understand. After being apart for months, a hug is essential when we meet!
Jiang Yan readily returned the hug, patted the young master’s back like a good brother, and let go of Gu Jingyun in less than two seconds.
Gu Jingyun: “…”
All the words of deep love in my heart were swallowed up by this heroic hug.
"Zhuifeng, I haven't seen you for a long time, young master. I miss you very much." Jiang Yan said.
Gu Jingyun asked: "Zhuifeng misses me, what about you?"
Jiang Yan was surprised and honest: "We have video calls every day and can see each other every day, so what's there to miss?"
The Heavenly Wolf Guards standing by looked at the young master with sympathy.
Gu Jingyun: “…”
Falling in love with the wood spirit is probably his disaster.
No, Ayan is clearly a rabbit spirit.
Perhaps because Jiang Yan's train of thought was too clear and he was too slow in emotions, Gu Jingyun almost forgot that Jiang Yan was a rabbit demon.
If there wasn't any solid evidence, he would really think that A Yan was a wood spirit.
Jiang Yan asked Gu Jingyun what he was here for. If he came to play with him, he would have to ask for leave first because he had a sword class tomorrow afternoon.
Gu Jingyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I have something personal to trouble you with. Ah Yan, please follow me."
The horse was handed over to someone to be taken to the stable, and Jiang Yan followed Gu Jingyun into the small building.
The doors and windows were closed, and Gu Jingyun sent everyone away. Apart from Jiang Yan, there were only Ji Ziheng and Song Hua.
There are Sirius Guards outside as light and dark sentries, and a soundproof barrier is set up inside.
Jiang Yan realized that Gu Jingyun came here to find him for some important matter.
"Ayan, I have something to ask of you."
Gu Jingyun did not waste any time and went straight to the point and stated the reason for looking for Jiang Yan.
He told them all about the poison and curse his parents had been poisoned with, as well as the words of the Qingfeng Valley Master, hiding nothing.
"Bo Qin believes that the herb, which is known as the demon clan's treasure, can break the curse. Combined with the detoxification pill they made, it can completely save my parents' lives."
Gu Jingyun said: "I thought that you and the demons come from a similar cultural background, maybe you would know some clues."
Jiang Yan subconsciously turned his head to look at Ji Ziheng and Song Hua's expressions.
The two commanders' expressions remained unchanged.
"You don't have to be vigilant, Immortal Lord. We already knew about this."
Jiang Yan asked: "Do all the Wolf Guards know about this?"
Ji Ziheng said: "It's just me and Song Hua, the rest of the Wolf Guards won't ask any more questions."
Song Hua added: "Immortal Lord, you are you, and the demons are the demons. We won't confuse them."
Jiang Yan thought to himself, no wonder he used magic in front of the Sirius Guards every day, and no one ever asked him a question.
The Demon Tribe's most precious treasure, related to the soul...
Jiang Yan's brows were furrowed. His research areas were natural herbal medicine and natural magic, not necromancy.
He didn't have a deep understanding of the demons, most of what he learned was just by chance when reading documents.
"...I can't imagine what treasure they have. Where's the book? Let me see it."
Gu Jingyun was well prepared and handed over the book with the designated page number.
Jiang Yan took it.
The first glance I looked down at.
Um?
This herbal illustration looks familiar.
Take a second look.
Jiang Yan: ? ?
Isn't this his research paper on Soul-Chasing Grass?
"Is it the Demon Clan's most precious treasure?"
The Immortal King had a strange look on his face and a wonderful expression, and the others suddenly became extremely nervous.
Gu Jingyun asked calmly: "Ayan recognizes it?"
Jiang Yan nodded: "Very familiar."
Everyone was delighted, and Gu Jingyun asked, "What is it called? What are its growth characteristics? How can I find it?"
"It's called Soul-Chasing Grass. As for finding it... you don't have to bother."
Jiang Yan turned his wrist and a small brocade bag fell into his palm.
He shook the brocade bag, and the bag full of seeds swayed and collided gently.
"Right here, I have a bag."
Three people: "!!!"
Jiang Yan was puzzled: "The Soul-Chasing Grass is indeed a rare item, but it is not a 'treasure'. Go to the Magic Market and find a herbalist with a larger store. You will definitely be able to buy it, but it is a bit expensive."
Are the demons going crazy because of poverty?
Or maybe it’s because I’ve traveled through time too many years ago, and I’ve used up all the supplies I brought with me. I don’t understand sustainable recycling and only use them without restraint.
The Soul-Chasing Grass can become a treasure.
Want to laugh.
Jiang Yan stuffed the bag of seeds into Gu Jingyun's hand so that he could open it and take a closer look.
"I don't have any finished Soul-Chasing Grass. I used it up when I was doing experiments for my thesis. But I have a bunch of seeds. I can plant them anytime."
Jiang Yan said: "But even with the use of natural magic to speed up the process of planting the Soul-Chasing Grass, it will take nearly a year. You have to wait a little longer."
Gu Jingyun came here with the mentality of "give it all a try" and "it's better to ask than not to ask", but he never thought that the life-saving medicine that he thought he would have to travel through mountains and rivers and go through untold hardships to get.
Now it comes so easily and without any effort.
"...The environments of the two worlds are different. Can we grow crops here?" Gu Jingyun maintained his rationality and asked calmly.
Jiang Yan thought for a moment and said, "Most of them are fine. As for the other small part... I have a secret magic weapon!"
Under the protection of the Elf Mother Tree and the careful care of the nature elves, all living things on plants and trees will surely grow smoothly.
You can plant anything.
Inside the room, after Jiang Yan's repeated assurances, Ji Ziheng and Song Hua showed delighted expressions, saying "Congratulations, young master" and "That's great" repeatedly.
Jiang Yan looked at Gu Jingyun's expression, hesitated for a moment, then walked forward and hugged him.
I thought it was a comforting hug that would end in a split second, but unexpectedly, Gu Jingyun grabbed me and held me tightly in his arms.
So hard that it even hurts a little.
But Jiang Yan did not break free and did not move.
He just soothed her gently:
"...Don't worry. I'm an expert in studying Soul Chaser Grass. I've written several papers and published them in the most prestigious magic journals."
Gu Jingyun buried his head in the Immortal Lord’s neck and said “hmm”.
After a while, he said in a hoarse voice: "Ayan, thank you very much."
