Chapter 42 I Like to Kick You

At dinner time, the sky was high and the clouds were light.

The night gradually surged in from the eastern sky, causing the red fire in the west to gradually dissipate, and finally be absorbed by the huge mark in the sky.

The students of Wudaochang set out for Xianshanfang, and stopped when they passed the white jade bridge.

They saw Instructor Cao sitting on the stone steps, guarding an empty purse, muttering angrily about the decline of morals in the world.

No wonder he didn't want it when he was given it, it turns out he only likes to snatch it! What kind of weird habits are these? When the students from the Enlightenment Field saw him cursing, they all walked past him silently and walked to the Fairy Food House, where they saw Ji You and the fairy with extraordinary temperament sitting opposite each other.

There is only one sect in Lingzhou, named Lingjianshan.

On the day of the winter solstice, they went to Hongding Tower for dinner. Ban Yangshu once said that Lingjian Mountain was originally named Lingjian Mountain.

The name comes from the fact that during the ancient ignorant period, Heaven bestowed seven sacred objects upon the sects, and the Lingjian was controlled by the founder of Lingjian Mountain.

But after thousands of years of inheritance, a later master of Lingjian Mountain changed the word "Jian" because he was obsessed with swordsmanship.

Ji You still remembers that on the first day when he sensed the Heavenly Book, the fairy at the foot of the mountain asked him, why are you in my mirror.

At that time he thought the word was "jian", but later he felt more and more that the word was actually "jian". The two words have the same pronunciation and are both related to Lingjian Mountain.

Next is the New Year's Day.

He went to Shengjing for dinner with Lu Qingqiu and others, during which Lou Siyi mentioned the rumors about Lingjian Mountain.

Ji You put down his chopsticks, raised his head, and looked at Yan Shuyi who was eating food in small bites: "I heard that Lingjian Mountain recently lost a young master."

Yan Shuyi raised his head and looked at him: "You are quite smart."

"It's you..."

"But it's not lost, it's traveling."

Ji You supported himself on the table and said, "It just so happened that we met today, otherwise I wouldn't have had the chance to tell you."

"What's up?"

"I may not be able to practice Taoism with you in the future."

Yan Shu also raised his head, and his handsome eyebrows gradually frowned.

Seeing this, Ji You explained, "The sect has ordered me to be away for a while, and I don't know when I'll be back. I went to the Enlightenment Field today because I wanted to go to the Void Mountain to tell you, but I didn't expect you to come."

Yan Shuyi poked the rice with his chopsticks a few times and said, "That's great. Without you, the mountain can finally be quiet."

"Then why did you come up and kick me during those days when I wasn't there after the winter solstice?"

"I like kicking you."

After Yan Shuyi finished speaking, he felt that he was a little delicate, so a hint of ferocity flashed in his eyes.

She is indeed the young master of Lingjian Mountain who was lost, and the next master in charge of Lingjian.

The elders in her family have taught her to be serious and dignified since she was a child, and her every move is intimidating without any anger.

The reason why I sound so delicate now must be because of him. If it doesn't work, I'll just kill him.

Yan Shuyi was wearing a pair of moon-white boots, and was swaying under the table in a delicate and exquisite manner. Finally, he couldn't help but kicked the other person's knee.

After being kicked, Ji You raised his head and after a long silence, he couldn't help laughing.

Like Yan Shuyi, he also knew that the person in front of him was her, but he was not sure if it was really her.

So he was always a little cautious when speaking, not as natural as he was in the Void Mountain, especially when he guessed that she might be the most powerful disciple in the world, this feeling was even stronger.

When he was being naughty under the Mountain of Nothingness, he even dared to call her a little witch and was eager to pinch her face.

But in reality, he felt there was a gap between the two of them.

Yan Shuyi's behavior was also different from the one he had under Xuwu Mountain. There was often a hint of coldness in his eyes, and his every move was full of sword energy. It seemed that he was resisting the fact that he was very familiar with him, and he felt a sense of being close yet distant.

But with this kick, the strange feeling in his heart suddenly faded a little.

"How long do you plan to stay in Shengjing?"

"After meeting you in Shengjing this time, I still have things to do and will leave soon."

Although Yan Shuyi kept emphasizing that "I came here on a whim", "I came to Shengjing on the way", and "I just wanted to take a look around and go back", he always inadvertently revealed that he just came here specifically to see you.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

If it weren't for the fact that he was in Shengjing, Yan Shu might not have turned back halfway.

If I said that I came here specially to see him, there would be no excuse for it.

Ji You nodded: "Have you found a place to stay?"

"All the people who come from Lingjian Mountain to stay at Hengfeng Inn. I have already notified them to reserve a room."

"Would you like to have a cup of tea before you go?"

"good."

Yan Shu also stood up and followed him out of Xianshanfang, deciding to have a cup of tea before leaving, so the two of them returned to Bishui Lake Yayuan one after the other.

Ji You started to light the fire and boil tea, while Yan Shuyi began to look around.

During the time, the two chatted about random things, such as how the house was small but cute, and what the word "bandit" carved on Ji You's wall meant, and they kept chatting until the aroma of tea filled the air.

How to say it.

Ji You seemed to be the type of person who didn't often stay alone with women, and Yan Shu was a little clumsy in pretending to be aloof.

The two of them were between familiarity and unfamiliarity, observing each other in a tentative way.

This is a very interesting thing. It doesn't matter what you talk about or how the other party responds.

"The tea is ready. Be careful, it's hot."

"Um."

"Would you like some baked sweet potatoes?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Yan Shuyi turned around with his hands behind his back, watched Ji You raise a sweet potato, and then looked at him.

Well, there’s no rush anyway, so just eat a sweet potato before leaving.

In the early morning of winter, the cold air condenses into frost on everything, and the first light of dawn appears on the horizon, like a light touch of ink.

After a night, the charcoal fire in the stove was still burning in the cramped room, but the charcoal ash had turned white and was about to go out.

Cultivators can use spiritual energy to keep out the cold, but charcoal fire in ancient times was not just used for heating.

It can also be used to bake sweet potatoes and make tea.

In addition, you can also maintain the humidity in the room by placing a pot of water on it and boiling it slowly.

Ji You walked out of the yard along the morning mist, poured the cleaned ashes outside, then filled the stove with new charcoal, used spiritual energy to ignite it, and threw two sweet potatoes at the bottom of the stove.

Yan Shuyi sat next to him, watching him busy himself, well-behaved and quiet.

They chatted, drank tea, and tested each other yesterday, and before they knew it, they had sat there until late at night.

So the young master of Lingjian Mountain did not return to Hengfeng Inn, but lived in the west bedroom of the temple.

At this time, she got up early, and her delicate face still showed sleepiness. She sat around the stove with a cup of hot tea, blinking her bright eyes.

"What do you want for breakfast?"

"I have no appetite, so I'll just eat a baked sweet potato."

Yan Shuyi answered, reached out to grasp the fire hook, took out a roasted sweet potato, and peeled off the charred skin.

After finishing his work, Ji You found a stool to sit down, took out his chopsticks, and continued to practice his mind shortcuts.

The two of them had not actually met each other for long, but they increasingly felt a natural sense of living together.

After a while, a chopstick flew in front of Yan Shuyi. She looked at it directly and it fell to the ground suddenly.

Ji You opened his eyes slightly: "What is the sword art of Lingjian Mountain like?"

"The master of Lingjian Mountain cultivates his own spiritual sword, so he won't use so many swords like you do."

Although what he saw were chopsticks, Yan Shuyi knew at a glance that he was practicing the basic sword moves of sword-wielding.

She yawned, and huddled lazily at the table next to her, with her feet close to the warm stove, continuing to watch the chopsticks flying in the sky, feeling a sense of peace and tranquility in her heart.

In fact, before she came, she had thought about what it would be like for the two of them to meet.

In her mind, there would be two possible outcomes.

That is, the man was not as interesting as she had imagined, so the two chatted for a while, said goodbye and went their separate ways.

Anyway, they are not very familiar with each other, they are just practicing Taoism together.

Or maybe the conversation turns out to be quite speculative, so you can sit and discuss the subject all day and become friends with similar interests.

But the young master never imagined that one day he would be huddled by the stove eating roasted sweet potatoes, and then lazily in this winter morning without having to think about practicing Taoism and breaking through the realm.

And Ji You was actually pretty much what she thought.

I think if the two of them meet, they can either chat for a while, then go around Shengjing and become good friends.

If we can return safely from the ruins and meet again in Void Mountain in the future, perhaps we will feel the emotion of a long-awaited reunion.

Or it's like a raging fire, where they start practicing dual cultivation, and because of their low level, they are forced to be exploited.

But he never imagined that one day he would behave like such a gentleman and experience what it meant to have a truly clear mind of Tao.
