Chapter 132 Extra 2 That Year, That Month, That Peak (4)

After searching for a while and identifying Mi Jichen's true identity, not to mention Jiang Tingbai, even Ji Qinghong was a little surprised.

You know, there seems to be no record of obsession possessing a bamboo pen in any of the historical books?

And for some reason, the gray cloud that half emerged from the bamboo pen did not feel like an obsession.

Jiang Tingbai calmed down and felt it slowly.

He was somewhat surprised to find that even though the gray cloud was right in front of him, he could not feel its existence or shape?

Ji Qinghong, who originally came as a spectator, now had a strange expression on his face.

He made a finger-hooking motion, and the worn-out bamboo pen hanging in Miss Du's study spontaneously flew towards him.

Correspondingly, the gray cloud that had half of its body sticking out of the bamboo pen, like a genie being led by Aladdin's magic lamp, suddenly stopped in front of Ji Qinghong's eyes.

Ji Qinghong flicked out a gust of wind from his finger, which unexpectedly passed through the gray mist.

He applied more strength, and his palm instantly formed a formation, but it only broke the table behind Gray Mist into neat pieces of wood.

"Hmm... this is interesting."

Although these two attacks had no effect on the gray mist, this mysterious existence seemed to be panicked.

Its smoke-like body flapped up and down, revealing its true nature as a rookie.

Even though he was still unsure of the origin of the gray shadow, Jiang Tingbai couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for it.

The next moment, Ji Qinghong exerted a little force with his fingers holding the pen.

This action seemed to have caused some damage to the gray mist.

Because immediately afterwards, the gray mist made a sound that sounded like a man or a woman: "Ah ...

Then, it flew out of the pen like a monkey escaping from the sky with its butt on fire!

Ji Qinghong: “…”

If this is acting, it is too poor and too natural.

Jiang Tingbai: "..."

He feels that there is no acting involved, it's all emotion.

Also, whatever this gray fog is, it is definitely not obsession.

Having lived for so many years, Jiang Tingbai has never seen anyone who can escape the obsession of parasite existence.

Finally realizing that Ji Qinghong and Jiang Tingbai were different from the mortals it had known before, the gray shadow did not hesitate, and even threw away the old bamboo pen, and ran away on the spot.

In just a blink of an eye, Ji Qinghong tried more than twenty kinds of formations in succession, and finally used one formation to stop the gray shadow.

There was nothing surprising about this formation, except that the center of the formation used Ji Qinghong's fire as the eye.

With a friendly attitude of finally encountering something new, Ji Qinghong and Yan smiled cordially:

"Now, are you willing to stay and chat with us?"

Gray Shadow said cautiously: "If I say something I don't want to say...will you listen?"

…

That gray shadow was naturally the former Love Devourer, the second master of Yan Luoyue and Wu Manyhuang.

After being caught by Ji Qinghong, it told him everything it knew, and surrendered so cleanly that even Jiang Tingbai was a little surprised.

"The Love Devourer...was transformed from the Cowardly Demon?"

"Legend has it that among a hundred thousand cowardly demons, only one can become the final love-eater."

The gray shadow whispered, "Everything we experienced as a coward will not leave any trace in our memory. Only the fear we have experienced time and again in our lives will remain unforgettable even if we forget everything."

This is why most love eaters feed on negative emotions.

Just like a child who grew up in a violent family, there is a certain probability that he will raise his fist to his partner when he grows up; for a race that has always lived in darkness, the structure of their eyes is probably no longer able to adapt to the light... This twisted taste is also a proof of the traces of the monster's past life.

As for the love-devouring demon that Jiang Tingbai encountered...

She or he is a rare exception among the numerous love-devouring demons, a miracle that is one in millions.

Ji Qinghong temporarily left the room and opened the communication stone of the leader of Guiyuan Sect.

As for Jiang Tingbai, he stayed behind to guard, or rather to accompany this gray shadow that had a somewhat timid temperament and was completely different from the monster in the popular concept.

Gray Shadow murmured, "I... I will definitely not survive if I fall into your hands, right?"

It's over. It seems that not only will he be the one with the weirdest taste among his kind, but he may also be the first one to die among all the love-eaters.

Jiang Tingbai thought about it, then shook his head and said, "Not necessarily."

He then asked, "Why do you say that?"

Gray Shadow said dimly, "Because when we absorb emotions from humans, we just take them directly without asking if it's okay."

At the beginning, this love-eating demon, who had just been born and came to the human world with his peers, might still be ignorant.

But as monsters that feed on emotions, they are naturally more likely to understand good and evil.

After answering Jiang Tingbai's question, Huiying also asked, "Why do you say 'not necessarily'?"

Does it mean that maybe he won't kill her, and maybe he will let him go?

"Because I'm still investigating." Jiang Tingbai said calmly, "I'm investigating whether there have been any strange incidents of innocent premature death, unexplained death, or sudden injury in Hulu Alley in recent years."

Perhaps sensing that Jiang Tingbai's temper was better than Ji Qinghong's, Huiying asked cautiously, "What will you do if you find out?"

Jiang Tingbai smiled and said, "If not, even if it was the order of the master, I would not sit idly by and watch them judge you."

"——To punish without teaching is cruel."

Children who grow up in a violent environment are very likely to punch their partners and children when they grow up.

But there is still a part that is firm, resolute, and resolute, and hates all atrocities.

How a person will eventually grow up depends half on the environment and the other half on their own choices.

Jiang Tingbai said softly: "No matter what, you chose to complete your dinner by doing good deeds... I should repay you with kindness."

But if we cultivate our generation, all things will come to life in spring.

This is Jiang Tingbai's sword spirit and swordsmanship.

…

Fortunately, the final result of the discussion did not require Jiang Tingbai to draw his sword to fight against Huiying.

In fact, after hearing Ji Qinghong smilingly announce the result of his discussion with the headmaster, Jiang Tingbai was even confused for a moment.

Ji Qinghong smiled and said, "Now that things have come to this, and you are so interesting, why don't you follow me back to Yuanzong and become my second disciple?"

Gray Shadow: “!!!”

Could this be what people often say, “After many twists and turns, you may think there is no way out, but when you turn around, you will find another village”?

Jiang Tingbai: “!!!”

The result of this treatment was far beyond his expectations.

Jiang Tingbai decisively said: "The master is truly wise and powerful."

For some reason, when Ji Qinghong heard this, he suddenly looked in his direction with a strange look.

"The head brother has something even more wise and powerful. Do you want to hear it?" Ji Qinghong repeated word by word, "He said, 'Since you are so persistent, then I will accept this Devil of Love as your disciple... After all, all the people who come out of your peak are strange and eccentric.'"

Jiang Tingbai: "..."

Wait, why is he so weird?

The eldest senior brother of that peak, the only human being in the entire peak, is also the most upright and reliable person in the entire peak. Today, his reputation is still being damaged because of problems with his master.

…

From then on, that peak had an extra second disciple.

The existence of this second disciple is very mysterious.

At the beginning, except for a few important peak masters and elders, even the sect’s direct disciples were unaware of it.

Even after the news spread that Ji Qinghong had two disciples, many people only knew of Ji Qinghong's existence. As for the legendary second disciple, no one even knew his name.

——The second disciple’s name is Mi Jichen.

The two words "Ji Chen" were the name Ji Qinghong came up with for his second disciple.

As for the surname "Mi"...it doesn't mean "secret".

It was a big lottery box specially made by Jiang Tingbai, with the names of the Hundred Family Surnames rolled up inside, and Mi Jichen drew the names himself.

Yes, this lottery box is the meeting gift that Jiang Tingbai gave to Mi Jichen.

Everyone can understand this special gift, after all, Jiang Tingbai really has no money.

Jiang Tingbai: When I donated all my savings decades ago, I never expected that I would have fellow apprentices joining me so soon.

Compared with Jiang Tingbai, Ji Qinghong's gift was obviously much higher-end.

He opened the furnace alone, selected precious materials, and then refined a white jade pen with a red rope tied to the end for Mi Jimen.

This magic weapon looks like a jade pen.

However, as Mi Ji Chen's abilities gradually grew, he became more and more in tune with the characteristics of the jade pen and was able to manipulate the jade pen into different shapes, eventually transforming it into a human body that could walk outside.

In other words, Ji Qinghong forged a body for Mi Jimen.

After the disciple-taking ceremony was over, Jiang Tingbai, as the eldest senior brother, naturally had the obligation to help his junior brother... or junior sister adapt to life in the peak.

Thinking of Ji Qinghong's words and deeds over the past few years, as well as his interest in watching fun, even Jiang Tingbai couldn't help but stop for a moment to organize his words.

After a while, Jiang Tingbai said slowly: "Master's nature... I mean, his character is a little casual. If he does something surprising, you don't have to take it to heart."

Originally, Jiang Tingbai wanted to say, "This is Master's nature."

But then he changed his mind and realized that if someone had a nature like Ji Qinghong, it would be tantamount to insulting him.

A gray shadow appeared on the white jade pen and trembled. It was probably Mi Ji Chen nodding obediently.

Mi Jichen said, "I know. I once learned in the human world, 'Don't look at what this person says, look at what this person does.'"

At this point, Mi Jichen's voice was obviously tinged with longing: "Although Master was a bit fierce when we first met, he later gave me the White Jade Pen incarnation. I guess he must be a good person, right?"

Jiang Tingbai: "..."

Even with Jiang Tingbai's kindness, he couldn't bear to affirm the term "good man".

He could only say tactfully: "I am not in a position to comment on this. Anyway, it is too early to draw conclusions."

…

Anyway, with Ji Qinghong's sudden inspiration, there was one more love-devouring demon among Guiyuan Sect's direct disciples.

This time, the man who silently covered his stomach was finally promoted from the master of Jianfeng Peak to the head of the sect.

However, the head of the sect soon discovered that this demon, who used the alias Mi Jichen, was indeed a rare kind-hearted demon in the world.

Not only does he answer every question and tell you everything he knows, but he is also always trying to do good.

It can be said that these two disciples of Ji Qinghong are actually much less troublesome than Ji Qinghong.

...Maybe it’s because there are not many people in the world who are more troublesome than Ji Qinghong.

...But even monsters are less troublesome than you, what kind of outrageous behavior is this? !

Not long after, at the suggestion of Ji Qinghong, the leadership of Jiang Tingbai, and the tacit approval of the sect leader, a wishing pool was built in the sect.

This pool uses underground hot spring water, and the other end of the pool is connected to the back mountain of "We are still a harmonious, kind, and well-behaved peak today."

Every morning, Jiang Tingbai could see a white jade pen, controlled by Mi Jichen, flying shakily towards the hot springs in the back mountain, and flying shakily back every evening.

For some reason, every time he saw such a scene, Jiang Tingbai vaguely felt that he seemed to have forgotten something.

Hmm...what did he forget?

After this pond was repaired, after a while, Mi Ji Chen was able to cultivate into a human form.

Then, Jiang Tingbai knew what he had forgotten.

“…”

He forgot to remind Mi Jichen to put a set of clothes in the hot spring in advance.

Yes, just as you guessed, Mi Jichen, who turned into a human form, was very excited and ran out of the bathhouse naked.

"I've become a human! I've become a human!"

If it weren't for the fact that their peak was always empty and deserted, this kind of behavior could not be called a transformation, but only a perversion.

Jiang Tingbai, who came over following the sound and unfortunately saw this scene: "..."

Don't look at anything inappropriate, Second Junior Brother or Second Junior Sister!!!

Gambling on the fastest reaction speed in his life as a sword practitioner, Jiang Tingbai closed his eyes and turned his back at the first moment.

Jiang Tingbai quickly pulled out a washed-out sword robe from the storage bag and threw it over.

Only after Mi Jichen behind him had put on his clothes did Jiang Tingbai cough lightly and turn around.

"Then... Jichen, from now on, should I call you Second Junior Brother or Second Junior Sister?"

Yes, in Jiang Tingbai's inherent impression, although the love-eating demon has no gender, after the white jade pen is transformed into a human, it should be determined whether it is a man or a woman, right?

Alas, this is Jiang Tingbai's narrow-mindedness.

Mi Jichen told the truth: "I... am neither male nor female?"

Jiang Tingbai: "..."

Jiang Tingbai didn't understand at first, so he patiently said, "I mean, your current incarnation looks like a man or a woman?"

Mi Jichen thought about it and felt that he couldn't explain this problem clearly.

So, he casually threw on his sword robe with the same movement as a weird uncle opening his windbreaker.

Mi Jichen said sincerely: "I am neither a man nor a woman."

Senior Brother should not have forgotten - whether he is a pen or a love-eater, you can't expect her to distinguish between men and women, right?

Jiang Tingbai: “!!!”

No, wait, you...

???

This time, Jiang Tingbai completely understood Mi Jichen's meaning based on the fact that was like a plastic model in front of him.

From then on, every time they met, Jiang Tingbai would take an extra look at Mi Jichen's outfit.

If Mi Ji Chen was wearing men's clothes today, he would call him Second Junior Brother; if he was wearing women's clothes, he would call him Second Junior Sister.

Mi Jichen's changes also awakened a series of memories since Jiang Tingbai became his disciple -

Jiang Tingbai couldn't help but think seriously: As the saying goes, those who keep company with others become red, and those who keep company with others become black. So now, I should still be considered a normal person... right?

Jiang Tingbai, the senior brother of that peak, still wants to live a peaceful life today.
