Chapter 25 Mysterious Disappearance
In fact, at the beginning, the girl’s practice time was not fixed.
However, as they became more familiar with each other, Ji You discovered that they met more and more frequently.
He suspected that the girl seemed to be coordinating her schedule with his. The reason was simple. His own cultivation schedule was fixed. He practiced martial arts during the day and attained enlightenment in the evening. If she didn't want to see him, she could just avoid him.
So the two of them maintained a tacit understanding and practiced on two black stones respectively.
Practicing cultivation is a boring thing, but it seems that having a fellow Taoist who understands you is also a great thing.
However, in the next seven or eight days, the girl always looked unhappy and irritable for no reason, and would get angry if anyone looked at her for more than two seconds.
The good thing is that the angry girl is no longer satisfied with just waving her sleeves, but kicks him out directly with her snow-white feet.
Isn't this a reward?
"Nineteen breaths..."
"If we continue like this, we should be able to gather all seven rays of profound light before the end of the year..."
After Ji You was kicked away, he slowly opened his eyes, with a golden glow in his eyes.
At this moment, the fifth mysterious light condensed!
There is another benefit of having a strong spiritual power, which is that it allows his five senses to reach an unprecedented level, and he can even observe the flapping of wings of flying insects in great detail.
Some women in the courtyard, like Miss Lu Qingqiu from Yunzhou, value grace over warmth. Even when the weather is cold, they only wear gauze skirts to use their spiritual energy to keep out the cold.
Every time he met her at the enlightenment field, Ji You was too embarrassed to even look at her carefully, and would just take a dozen glances and then give up.
There is no calendar in the mountains, and one has no idea of the year when the cold ends.
Ji You opened his eyes again. The sky was vast and cold air was floating from the distant mountains. Winter had arrived.
He reached into his purse, weighed it, and decided to go to Xianshanfang to fill his stomach.
A few days ago, Kuang Cheng came and said that he had joined the Sixianjian and received a monthly salary of 15 taels, of which 7 taels were given to him.
The Sixianjian is a new government office established by the emperor. It is said to be dedicated to serving the immortal sect. It does not seem to be trying to revive the imperial power, but rather it seems to be trying to be a bootlicker for the immortal sect.
But from Ji You's point of view, this might be a sign of weakness to the enemy, indicating that the Emperor of Daxia is not stupid.
Ji You walked towards the white jade platform while throwing the Hanshan Fist in the air.
He practiced both martial arts and Taoism. Although people say martial arts is just a minor skill, he never fell behind.
It's just that he doesn't go to the Sword Test Forest very often now, because he has basically mastered the basics of sword, gun and boxing, and can perform a set of moves while walking or sitting.
In addition, Wang Xin'an also begged him not to go. He said that he had a lot of free time as a martial arts instructor before, but he has never been happy since he came.
He also said that if he went less often, he would not need the silver.
This incident made the bandit feel embarrassed, so he readily agreed.
When they reached the White Jade Terrace, Ji You suddenly saw thirteen instructors, including Instructor Cao, who had just returned from outside. They were dusty and had deep frowns on their brows.
It seems that since the beginning of winter, the outer courtyard has been a bit messy, and Shengjing City has also been a bit messy.
"Instructor Cao!"
"Ah? Oh, Ji You."
Cao Jinsong stopped at the White Jade Platform, said goodbye to the other teachers, and walked towards Ji You: "Is your training going well?"
Ji You's spiritual light radiated outward, and five rays of light appeared on his forehead.
"My boy is extraordinary. Could it be that you were able to enter the upper fifth realm a year ago?"
"No, I still plan to be steady and don't want to be too anxious."
Ji You was a little worried about his broken spiritual spring, so he made an excuse here.
"It's okay to be steady. After all, Chu He is now staying indoors. I'm afraid his Tao heart is completely broken. Lu Qingqiu has only condensed two rays of profound light. There's no need to be too hasty."
After Cao Jinsong finished speaking, he thought of something: "By the way, have you met Zhang Congzhi and Cai Ziyao?"
"I've seen Cai Ziyao before the beginning of winter. She was pretty good, wearing a white snow skirt and had big eyes. As for Zhang Congzhi..."
Ji You frowned slightly for a while: "Who is he?"
"Zhang Congzhi is from the same era as you, and he often goes to the Enlightenment Field to seek enlightenment. You don't recognize him, but you recognize Cai Ziyao who doesn't often go to the Enlightenment Field?"
"That Zhang Congzhi definitely has no special features."
Cao Jinsong waved his hand: "But this is not important. What is important is that these two disappeared after the beginning of winter. The other instructors and I went out to look for them for three days but could not find any trace of them."
Ji You was stunned for a moment, thinking that it was really rare for a cultivator to go missing.
He seemed to smell something bad, but couldn't tell what was wrong.
"Are there any signs before they leave? For example, Junior Sister, I want to see if your heart is clear?"
Instructor Cao pouted and said, "They didn't disappear at the same time. There was a seven-day gap between them."
Ji You thought for a while and said, "Maybe they didn't disappear for the same reason."
"Whether it is true or not, the person is missing, and he didn't take his usual clothes or precious elixirs and spiritual stones with him. He shouldn't have been gone for so long."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Did something unexpected happen?"
"Who dares to attack the disciples of Tianshu Academy right under their noses? I don't think so."
After Teacher Cao finished speaking, he advised him to practice Taoism well, and then left in a hurry.
Ji You watched him disappear, then returned to Bishui Lake Elegant Garden punching.
But before he could enter, he saw a group of fellow practitioners coming to the gate of his courtyard.
There are two people who are in the upper realm of Condensation, Bai Rulong and Qian Yunxiao, and three female cultivators, Lu Qingqiu, Sun Zhiqiao, and Lou Siyi.
"Master Ji."
"What's wrong, everyone?"
Lu Qingqiu smiled faintly: "Today is the winter solstice, Qingqiu will host a gathering at Hongding Tower. Would you be so kind as to honor me?"
Since the last time we met at Xianshanfang, she has expressed her desire to make friends with him many times.
This woman is the daughter of a powerful family. Even if she is an opponent of her fellow practitioners, once she sees that the other party has a bright future, she will immediately change her mind.
"good!"
"In that case, let's meet in front of the Shenmen Shinto Road at 3 p.m."
Ji You took a look and asked, "Who else?"
Lu Qingqiu nodded slightly: "Mr. Bai went to call Chu He earlier, but he was not in the room."
"Then see you at 5 p.m."
Ji You bowed to everyone, then walked into the room and took out a letter from the drawer.
This was sent from Yuyang County. Xiudao hadn't had time to read it before. He thought it must be Old Qiu coming to say hello to him.
As expected, the letter began with Old Qiu asking him how he was doing, and saying that Qiu Ru had grown half a head taller and was always wondering when the young master would come back.
In addition, Fang Zhongzheng went to the Qiu family and said that Old Qiu had done a very efficient job in the Ji family, so he asked him to work in the county government.
In addition, Lao Qiu mentioned something else, which was a strange thing to be precise.
He said that there seemed to be some evil spirit around Sanshilipu, which caused livestock to go missing frequently in the few days after he left.
After Ji You finished reading the letter, he thought it was strange that there were always disappearances.
Two people just disappeared from Tianshuyuan, and I didn’t expect that even the livestock from Sanshilipu were missing...
(The foreshadowing will be gradually revealed later. Please give me your monthly votes and read on.) (End of this chapter)
