Chapter 111: The Strange Return of Xianyun
Long Qi hadn't seen Lingxiang for these days and was really annoyed. He didn't have the pride he had in the past few days at all. He thought to himself, could it be that he was a little too hasty on the Lantern Festival, and this little girl was probably hiding from him?
Xinyi looked at Long Qi who was sighing from time to time, and immediately knew that this kid must be worried about Lingxiang again. He just smiled and patted his shoulder, turned around and went down the mountain to meet Guanchen - today was his turn to be on duty.
Staring at Xinyi's figure descending the mountain, Long Qi's mind raced. If he hadn't listened to him, he would never have been so reckless. Now that the little girl had hidden herself, and he hadn't told him, where could he find her?
When Rendong went out at this time, he saw Long Qi sighing on the stone bench under the tree, and his heart suddenly felt a little sad.
What Long Qi said that day was correct. If we were to talk about how much time he had spent with Lingxiang, it was Long Qi who had spent the most time with her, so he definitely had no advantage. However, judging by his demeanor, it seemed he didn't know much about Lingxiang, whereas he had learned quite a bit from the old man with the bamboo cane. While not everything, he certainly knew more than Long Qi.
Now that my body is in good shape, I might as well practice diligently. Who knows, one day I might be worthy of her, but...
But now the spiritual incense is nowhere to be found, and I have no idea how to start. With my spiritual roots and qualifications, what can I do?
As they were stunned, they saw a cloud of dust flying from the courtyard gate. Soon, Lingxiang and Shoucheng appeared from the gray mist. As soon as they stopped, they saw Lingxiang hurriedly running towards the room that had previously been off-limits to everyone, saying to Shoucheng as she ran:
"It's urgent, so I bothered you to walk me to the door. I can't wait any longer, so I'll find you later. You should go report to your master first."
Then he went into the house and closed the door, leaving the three people in the yard stunned.
Shoucheng was staring at Lingxiang as she disappeared like a cloud of dust. Before he could come to his senses, he saw Long Qi approaching him with a flattering smile on his face.
"Brother, you went down the mountain with my master recently. Could you tell us where you went? We can follow your example and maybe even improve our cultivation."
Improve your cultivation? How can plucking a blade of grass improve your cultivation?
"Uh..." Shoucheng stretched out his hand to hold back the approaching Long Qi, "She just went to the ancient bamboo forest with the young nun. As for what she did, I'm not quite sure." As he said that, he squatted down, grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it away, then disappeared with a burrow into the earth.
Ancient bamboo forest? Another ancient bamboo forest. Why does this girl always go there for no reason?
Long Qi looked at the honeysuckle in the corridor with a puzzled look on his face. Honeysuckle smiled back at him, turned around and went into the house.
This ancient bamboo forest is so mysterious. If I have the chance in the future, I must visit it.
Lingxiang was so anxious, of course she had her reasons, she wanted to make a weapon for Rendong.
In ancient times, many magical weapons and weapons were made by people with profound Taoist skills. Things like the Soul-Slaying Banner were essentially just talismans. Since others could make them, she could certainly do the same.
After all, I am also at the third stage of foundation building, right?
When it comes to cultivation, Lingxiang seems to be very proud of herself and never underestimates herself. This kind of self-confidence is not something that ordinary people can compare to.
As for why it is so urgent, firstly, the spiritual energy of the Purple Leaf Golden Atractylodes is easy to lose, and the longer it is delayed, the more it will be lost; secondly, it takes time to carefully polish the weapons, and chanting talismans is a complicated matter, and it will delay many things over time.
As soon as she entered the house, Lingxiang started rummaging through the drawers and cabinets looking for books.
She still remembered reading a book when she was a child, which contained the methods of making magical instruments such as the Money Sword. She read it with great interest, but threw it aside after reading it. She never thought that she would actually use the content in it today.
As Long Qi got closer, he could hear noises coming from the room. He was very curious. He had never seen Lingxiang enter this room before, so why did she think of going in today? What he was most curious about was what was in this room that Lingxiang had hidden so well, and had clearly forbidden them to enter.
He knocked on the door and asked tentatively, "Lingxiang! Lingxiang! Are you in trouble? How about I come in and help you?"
"You dare!" Just as he was about to push the door open, he heard Lingxiang shouting urgently, "Master is busy recently. Don't bother me. Just practice on your own." Although he said that, the noise in the room did not stop.
Long Qi was puzzled. He bent over to get a glimpse of what was happening inside the house, but the door suddenly opened, causing him to almost fall. Fortunately, he managed to regain his strength, but his posture was a little strange...
Lingxiang and Long Qi were standing one inside and one outside, face to face, just a hair's breadth away from touching. Both were stunned by this situation, and their minds simultaneously wandered back to the Lantern Festival.
Both of their faces flushed red, and they remained motionless for a moment, as if time had stood still. Even the chirping of the birds could not reach their ears.
Just when Long Qi was thinking about whether to go further, Lingxiang suddenly pushed him. His mind was blank and he lost his balance and rolled down the stairs.
"You...you...what are you doing!" Lingxiang's cheeks flushed, and she kept twisting the book she had just found in her hands.
Long Qi stood up hurriedly, his face flushed: "I...I...I just want to take a look, but you have to help."
Lingxiang hurriedly turned around and ran towards her room. Just as she was about to push the door open, she said without looking back, "Master...Master...I have something to do these days. You just stay quiet for a few days...I will take you to practice later!" After that, she pushed the door open and walked in, leaving Long Qi standing there in a daze.
Seeing Lingxiang closing the door, Long Qi regretted why he didn't move forward earlier so that he could kiss Lingxiang. When he thought of Lingxiang's soft little mouth, he immediately became distracted.
…
The lake shimmered, and river lanterns drifted across it, drifting with the waves. The sounds of hawkers and singing echoed endlessly by the lakeside, but none of them disturbed the two people beneath the tree. These two people were Long Qi and Ling Xiang.
The old tree was covered with red ropes and ribbons tied by infatuated men and women to make wishes. At this moment, a breeze blew by, and the ribbons fluttered. I didn't know which couple had tied one, but it was not tied tightly and it floated away with the wind.
Lingxiang under the tree looked like she was drunk, with a flushed face as if she had put on rouge, and she kept biting her lips, which made Long Qi very happy.
Seeing the beauty in front of him, Long Qi could not help but bend down and move closer, but Ling Xiang shyly retreated and whispered:
"There are outsiders around, Seventh Brother, please don't be like this..."
The sound was so sweet that it made Long Qi feel itchy. He hugged Lingxiang into his arms and said in a deep voice, "There is no one else. Even if there is someone, don't be afraid. I am here!"
As he said this, he lowered his head and was about to kiss Lingxiang's tempting little mouth.
But just when it was about to be attached, there was a "clang" sound...
…
There was a loud "clang". Lingxiang was in a hurry to go back to the house, but she did not close the door that did not allow Long Qi and the other two to enter. A gust of wind blew and opened half of the door.
Hearing the sound, Long Qi suddenly came back to his senses, looking at the door that had not been completely closed, thinking: He didn't mean to peek into the house, it was just Lingxiang forgot to close the door, and he just closed the door for her, so he had no choice but to see what was in the house...
Thinking of this, Long Qi tiptoed into the house, but saw that the house was in chaos, with books everywhere on the floor, table and couch.
It's just a book, there's nothing shameful about it.
Long Qi was puzzled and picked up a book at random, but saw the words "Hehuan Secret Play" written on the cover!
