reunion
Zhao Ziyu finally managed to calm the furious Zhao Jingyan down, preventing her from rushing onto the stage. Unexpectedly, Ji Wudu, who was on the stage, had noticed them since they arrived. Suddenly, he raised his hand to signal for silence, "I see the two young ladies from the Donghai Zhao family are here too. They seem to have something to say."
When Zhao Jingyan saw Ji Wudu's expression, he gritted his teeth and whispered, "Ziyu, it must be that person."
But now everyone was looking at the two of them, and Zhao Jingyan couldn't do anything out of line. He could only put on a fake smile and take Zhao Ziyu to the stage.
The two came to Ji Wudu's side. Ji Wudu asked Zhao Jingyan in a low voice that no one else could hear, "Long time no see. I wonder if your gambling skills have improved?"
Zhao Jingyan turned around and glared at him. Before he could say anything, Ji Wudu said, "Say what I say later."
Here, Li Pingan and Jiu Qi stared at each other beside the stone table. Finally, Li Pingan sighed, "When the Zhao Jingyan sisters were here, I went to practice and pretend."
"Now, there's no one else around, and you know my secret, so why do you still want me to train?"
"Are you so confident in your abilities?" Jiu Qi suddenly circled behind Li Ping'an and placed his hand on her neck. "Tell me, if I strangle you to death now and draw out your soul and trap it before you resurrect, even if your body is resurrected, will you still be able to enter?"
Li Pingan felt that Jiu Qi was sick again, and quickly slapped his hand away, moved away from him, and covered his neck, "Isn't it okay for me to go?"
"Elder Shi has a bell that was passed down from his master. It can ward off evil spirits."
Before Li Pingan's eyes lit up, Jiu Qi continued, "Of course, Elder Shi will never lend you this clock."
"Then why are you saying this?" Li Ping'an thought Jiu Qi was teasing her and rolled her eyes at him.
"However, Elder Shi previously had someone make several small bells based on the design and runes of this bell. If you behave in a pleasing way, Elder Shi might lend them to you."
Seeing Li Pingan give him a blank look, Jiu Qi gave her a slap on the head while speaking.
"Forget it," Li Ping'an didn't believe what he said, "Elder Shi has so many disciples, how could it be my turn?" She had counted them, there were already twenty people training together, Elder Shi's small bells couldn't be bought in bulk.
"Who told you that all these people have to go in?" Jiu Qi put his head in front of Li Ping'an and said while staring into her eyes.
"Then I'll go and apologize to Elder Shi now." Li Ping'an slapped the stone table and rushed out of the courtyard, just in case he could get one.
Jiuqi sat down, took out the tea set and placed it on the stone table, counting down in his mind: 3, 2, 1. Sure enough, as the number 1 fell, a head appeared at the door.
Li Pingan leaned on the gate of the courtyard and stretched his head to look at Jiu Qi inside, "Do you know where Elder Shi lives?" The training was done in the waterfall under the cliff every day, and Li Pingan really didn't know where Elder Shi lived.
"The waterfall is five miles to the west." Jiu Qi replied after making himself a cup of tea.
Then, watching Li Ping'an's head shrink away and the sound of footsteps gradually fading away, Jiu Qi stood up, took out the bell in his arms, shook it gently, and three figures appeared.
Jiu Qi held the quilt and shook it gently a few times, then looked at the three ghosts in front of him. The two sides confronted each other and no one spoke for a while.
The three men looked at him with a mixture of wariness and gratitude, their expressions complicated. "Who are you?"
At the beginning, Anding and the other two were going downstream with Li Pingan, but unexpectedly they heard a bell sound. When they reacted, they found that all three of them were trapped in the bell.
He originally thought that this person had captured him in order to refine or resell it, but he did not expect that there was a pool in the bell that was beneficial to the soul body. There was also a bookshelf next to it, on which were placed several books specifically for the cultivation of the soul body.
Anding took a look and was surprised to find that these randomly placed books were much more precious than the ones his family had bought at high prices from all over the place in order to enhance his cultivation.
The three of them cried out to the sky and the earth, but no one answered them. They couldn't hear what was said or seen outside. They could only be patient and practice, hoping to break free one day.
However, they didn't expect that the three of them were still practicing today when they were suddenly released. For a moment, they didn't know whether the person in front of them was an enemy or a friend.
"Your name is Anding?" Jiuqi knew on the ship that Li Pingan had not told him his real name. Earlier, when he was by the campfire, he overheard and found that the male ghost in front of him was called Anding.
Anding didn't know what he wanted to do, but nodded anyway, "Why are you asking this?"
Seeing Anding nodded, Jiuqi laughed in his heart. This little liar used other people's names to fool him.
After finishing the tea in the cup, Jiuqi put away all the tea sets and left a sentence, "Ask your eldest sister about these things." Jiuqi deliberately emphasized the word "eldest sister".
He is not so kind as to answer the questions of the three people here.
Then, he prepared to leave.
But Annie suddenly rushed in front of him, stopped him, and glared at him, "Where is my eldest sister?"
"I'll be back in a minute."
Li Ping'an walked out of Elder Shi's cave and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, after her sincere apology and her promise to practice more tomorrow, Elder Shi finally forgave her.
Even the way back has become shorter. Li Ping'an feels that if she loses her job, she can change her career to running marathons and go everywhere on her own two feet. She now misses her old friend very much.
When she thought of her old friend, she thought of Annie and the others, and she sighed again. She didn't know when Jiuqi would be willing to release Annie and the others. No, she had to find Jiuqi and have a good talk with him tomorrow.
When Li Ping'an put his hand on the gate of the courtyard, he realized something was wrong. He heard whispers from inside. Could it be that someone else had moved in?
Li Ping'an withdrew his hand, straightened his clothes, and planned to make a good impression on his new roommate. However, as soon as he opened the door, he saw the three ghosts he had been thinking about.
Li Pingan's eyes suddenly became sore. Before he could say anything, he saw the scene happening in the corner of the courtyard and could only shout loudly, "Spare the chicken."
Seeing Wu Ya's knife hanging on the chicken's neck without blood flowing out, Li Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, fortunately.
"Ping'an, you're back!" A small cannonball rushed into Li Ping'an's arms.
Li Pingan touched Annie's head, pulled her out of his arms, and looked at her carefully. "Annie, why do I feel that you seem to be more..."
"It's strong,"
Li Pingan couldn't think of any suitable adjective for a moment. When he touched Annie before, although he could feel it, he always had a sense of emptiness. Today, it felt more real.
"Yes, I have been practicing very hard these days!" Annie said with a giggle.
"Practice, what kind of practice? Tell me about it."
Although Jiu Qi had previously said that these three people were practicing, Li Pingan always felt that he was lying. Now that they were right in front of him, of course he had to ask them.
Annie told the story of everything that happened from the time the three people were abducted to Yacheng Waterfall until they were released today. Wu Ya and Anding supplemented her omissions and debunked her exaggerations.
Li Pingan understood what had happened between the three of them, but she suddenly turned to look at Anding, "Tell me, he just asked if your name was Anding, and you nodded?"
Anding couldn't understand why everyone was so concerned about his name. If it really didn't work out, he might as well change his name.
Li Ping'an seemed to be standing still. In fact, she was thinking. If she remembered correctly, the fake name she gave Jiuqi on the ship was Anding.
Although Jiu Qi didn't expose her in person, she was still very embarrassed.
"Then can we call your name now? Or should we shout 'safe'?" Wu Ya suddenly asked.
Li Ping'an had completely forgotten about this. Thinking about it carefully, Zhao Jingyan rarely called her name along the way, and when he did, Jiu Qi didn't seem to be around. Fortunately, fortunately, the situation was not too bad.
"Call me safe." Li Ping'an lay on the stone table, looking listless. When going out, you can have a pseudonym, but it is best not to have too many pseudonyms, otherwise it would be too embarrassing if someone exposed you.
It's okay, now everyone knows they are safe.
No, Li Ping'an suddenly slammed the table. She remembered that last night, right here, under the influence of alcohol, she confessed to the Zhao Jingyan sisters, saying that she had deceived them and told them her real name.
Li Ping'an scratched his hair and wailed with his messy head.
The three people of Anding frowned as they listened to Li Pingan's description of her current situation. They said, "It's not that easy. Your last name is Li, your given name is Pingan, and your courtesy name is Anquan. Isn't that enough?"
In Anding's opinion, this is not a big deal. Li Ping'an is just worried about this because he has nothing to do recently.
Hearing Anding's words, Li Pingan came back to life and gave him a thumbs up. "Great, great! It really is true that many hands make light work."
The minor issues were resolved, and Li Ping'an's mood returned to normal. He and three ghosts were chatting around the stone table.
After a long time, Li Ping'an noticed that Wu Ya seemed to speak very little. Although she usually spoke very little, today was particularly different. She was in a daze.
"Wu Ya, Wu Ya," Li Pingan waved his hand in front of her eyes, and after seeing her reaction, he asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Wu Ya originally didn't want to say it, but Li Pingan and the other two kept asking, so she had to stammer out, "When I was in the bell, I always felt that my elder sister was around me."
It was a very strange intuition, but there was no evidence, so Wu Ya never told anyone else.
She had thought she was having hysterics, but after coming out of the bell, she couldn't sense her elder sister anymore, so she became even more confused.
