Although there were some twists and turns on the road, Yu Yi still arrived at Yinzhou City smoothly after one
day. This big city where immortals and mortals live together is much larger than the southern Johor County. It is located between green mountains and clear waters. When it slowly appears on the horizon, it has a prosperous and magnificent beauty.
Just from the rows of pavilions and glazed tiles, and the colorful merchant banners, you can feel the bustling popularity of the city.
Yinzhou City also has air traffic control. Before Yu Yi approached the gate of Yinzhou Prefecture, she saw two golden lights shooting from below. The golden lights blocked her right in front of her and turned into two phantoms of mighty warriors in armor, holding long spears in their hands. A voice came from behind the phantoms, "No passage over the prefecture city, please land."
Yu Yi clasped her fists in apology,
and Senior Brother He folded his wings and flew down. Intercepted with her was another monk sitting on a flying carpet. The other party looked about the same age as her, wearing shorts, with his hair tied up casually with a cloth strip, his eyes were dark and bright, two thick eyebrows, his skin was tanned, and he had a vigorous youthful spirit.
If the story background was not wrong, he looked like Aladdin sitting on a flying carpet in the story of "One Thousand and One Nights".
The two bumpkins who were driven to the ground looked at each other and smiled awkwardly, "This is my first time here, oh, I don't know the rules."
Yu Yi said, "It's my first time too, I don't know much either."
The two of them landed on the ground one after another, and the young man jumped off the flying carpet and ran to Brother He in three or two steps.
While circling around it, he sighed, "Fairy crane, wow, the feathers all over the body are so white, the feathers on the wings and tail are so black, and the cinnabar on the head is so bright. This is the first time I have seen such a tall and beautiful fairy crane up close." @無限好文，盡在晉江文學城

Brother He was overjoyed by his praise, spread his wings, raised his head and let out a long cry.
"Aladdin" cried along with it, "So powerful, and your voice is so loud, I saw you from a long distance! Daoist friend, you are dressed in fluttering clothes, have extraordinary looks, and sit on such a beautiful fairy crane, you are full of fairy air, just like a fairy from heaven."
Yu Yi was confused by his flattery, and heard him ask, "Isn't it cheap for the fairy to raise this fairy crane?"
Yu Yi nodded, it was indeed not cheap.
She raised Senior Brother He better than herself. When she was in Southern Johor County, most of the money she earned from selling talismans to exorcise ghosts and catch monsters was spent on it.
The most stuff in Yu Yi's storage bag was Senior Brother He's food. Even if she was hungry, she would not let it go hungry.
Seeing people praising Senior Brother He so much, Yu Yi also felt proud.
Of course, it is impolite not to reciprocate, so she also tilted her head to take a look at the flying carpet that "Aladdin" sat on, trying to return the favor. Only then did she realize that it was actually a talisman woven with cotton yarn and wool, a flying talisman that can be reused.
"Is this a flying talisman woven directly into the carpet? I didn't expect that talismans could be made in this way." Yu Yi was surprised.
Seeing the curiosity in her eyes, Aladdin said with some pride: "This is a method I came up with. If the spiritual power on the talisman is insufficient, use cinnabar to inject spiritual power and then draw it again along the talisman line. In this way, a talisman blanket can be used repeatedly for several years. Isn't it much better than burning a piece of talisman paper once?"
Yu Yi nodded, raised his thumb and praised: "Daoyou is indeed very creative."
The other party chuckled, grabbed the storage bag at his waist and showed it to Yu Yi, "I have many talisman blankets woven in this way. In addition to flying blankets, there are also spirit gathering blankets for meditation, and healing blankets that can speed up the healing of wounds by sitting on them. I have all kinds of talisman blankets. Would you like to buy some, Daoist?"
Oh, no wonder he is so good at talking, it turns out he wants to sell something.
However, Yu Yi was indeed somewhat interested in his talisman carpet, and asked, "How much do you sell this for?"
Aladdin raised a palm, "Five spirit stones each, very cheap."
Before Yu Yi could say anything, a voice suddenly interrupted them, saying, "How many flying carpets do you have? I want them all."
The two turned their heads and saw a handsome young man walking slowly. He was wearing a bright yellow spring shirt with a hundred flower patterns embroidered on it, and a layer of gauze on the outside. His long hair stood up high, with a headband of the same color.
His outfit matched the current brilliant spring scenery very well, and at first glance, he looked like a noble young man from some family who was out for a spring outing.
Yu Yi blinked, and then blinked again, and then he was sure that it was Xue Chenjing.
But she immediately remembered, maybe it wasn't Xue Chenjing? Judging from his expression, it could be Xue Mingyuan?
As she silently looked at him, the man had already walked up to her, smiled at her, and said, "It's a pleasure to see you again, my master."
Yu Yi was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are you Xue Chenjing?"
Xue Chenjing saw her hesitation, and the smile on the corner of his mouth seemed to be frozen, and the smile did not reach his dark eyes at all. His tone was innocent, but with an indescribable weirdness: "Of course it's me, who else could it be?"
Yu Yi: "..." Don't you know that you have schizophrenia?
The "Aladdin" beside him came forward enthusiastically and promoted his own flying carpet: "I have 20 flying carpets here, the speed is absolutely guaranteed, do you really want all of them?"
Xue Chenjing then turned his eyes away from Yu Yi's face and looked at the talisman carpet in the hands of another person, and said proudly: "Yes, I want all of them."
Monsters are not tolerated by the public, and Xue Chenjing can't use monsters at any time, especially when going to this big city where monks gather.
His current cultivation is lacking, just to catch up with the speed of the red-top crane, he has almost drained his Dantian spiritual power by coming here from the ghost town without stopping.
Xue Chenjing chased after him all the way, and finally managed not to be left behind. When he reached the city gate, he hid behind the bushes and took a magic pill to recover for a long time before he had the strength to walk out like this.
But now he had already dressed himself up and looked very calm. He reached out to take the flying carpet and turned to ask Yu Yi, "Master, what kind of talisman carpet do you want? I will pay for it for you."
Yu Yi caught a glimpse of Aladdin's rolling eyes moving back and forth between them, with the words "Wow, Master" and "What a big deal" written all over his face.
Her ears were burning secretly, her toes were clenched, and she pretended to be calm and said, "You are so rich, then buy them all."
Facts have proved that Xue Chenjing is really rich.
He really obeyed and bought all the talisman blankets in the bag, whether useful or not!
Aladdin had not even entered the city when he met such a wealthy and stupid patron. He was so happy that he took out all his carpets in a swift motion and praised Xue Chenjing for his good looks and good taste.
He praised Xue Chenjing without repeating
himself. Yu Yi saw Xue Chenjing take out a heavy bag of spirit stones and hand it over. The only word she could express was "speechless". She rolled her eyes, turned around and led Senior Brother He to the city gate, intending to enter the city.
Xue Chenjing and Aladdin exchanged money, stuffed the pile of carpets into the storage bag, and quickly chased after him, shouting: "Master, wait for me--"
People around looked over, and Yu Yi couldn't bear it anymore and stopped, "Don't call me that." You are shameless, but I still have some shame!
Xue Chenjing asked in confusion: "Then how should I call you?" I called her like this before, and she didn't react so much. Now I can't call her anymore. She is so fickle. Yu Yi said
: "If you have something to say, just call me by my name. If you don't have anything to say, don't call me nonsense."
"Okay." Xue Chenjing nodded obediently, and tentatively called out on the spot, "Yu Yi."
Yu Yi raised her eyes and glanced at him, turned around and continued to walk forward.
The system sighed: "Master, at this time you should take the initiative to change your name to Ayi, Yiyi. It's so unfamiliar to call her by her full name."
Xue Chenjing was still not happy with the system that betrayed him, and asked knowingly: "Really? Could it be that Xue Mingyuan called her Ayi, Yiyi?"
System: "..." Your brother is not so reckless. Unlike you, you put your tentacles into other people's mouths the third time you meet!
Not far ahead, Yu Yi could clearly hear the disgusting voice of the system. She chose to ignore this meaningless trash talk.
The city tower of Yinzhou Prefecture is much more magnificent than that of Rounan County. The city gate alone is several feet higher. On both sides of the city gate stands a huge stone statue. The stone statue is armed and sharp, majestic and majestic, with red silk hanging between its arms. It is the image of the general who blocked her from high above.
Yu Yi's eyes were attracted by the two stone statues in amazement. Looking down, she saw the three characters "Door God" carved on the base under the feet of the general.
In front of each door god, there is an incense burner, and the incense smoke in the burner rises.
In front of this city tower, ordinary people and monks take different paths. Ordinary people have the gatekeepers to check their pass documents and can only pass after verifying the pass.
Monks do not need these documents, but they need to be inspected by the two gate gods. Only if there is no suspicion will they be allowed into the city. And in Yinzhou City, no demons are allowed to enter.
Yu Yi stood at the feet of the right gate god. A beam of light shot out from the red bead on the forehead of the stone statue, scanning her and Senior Brother He from head to toe like an X-ray. The spirit beast contract on Senior Brother He's ankle lit up, and his identity was recognized.
The gate god raised his halberd and let them go. Yu Yi led Senior Brother He into the tall and majestic doorway. Ten feet away, at the end of the doorway, there was a dazzling sunlight that was so bright that it was blinding, and the bustling hustle and bustle had already flowed into her ears through the doorway.
Senior Brother He smelled the aroma of the city's delicacies and ran happily inside with his slender legs. @無限好文，盡在晉江文學城
Yu Yi also quickened her pace and chased after it, running into the bright sunlight together.
Behind her, Xue Chenjing used some unknown method to deceive the eyes of the gate god. When Yu Yi's figure merged into the sunlight, he just stepped into the shadow of the gatehouse.
Suddenly, a familiar "ding——" sound rang in my ears.
[System: Ding——The main task is opened. Please complete the second stage of the main task "Love is unknown" and increase the favorability of the target to 50%. The sub-plot and the main task complement each other and complement each other. Please treat it with caution.
Xue Chenjing paused, then walked forward as if nothing had happened.
He was not so averse to this boring mission now. The start of the main mission meant that the subplot would also progress, and the things he wanted would appear one after another. "
I don't know where the feelings come from." Xue Chenjing repeated these five words on the tip of his tongue and laughed lightly. He was more concerned about another question, "Is there no time limit?"
The system said, "Yes, there is no time limit for the mission at this stage." It paused for a moment, and then continued, "Master, you should be glad that there is no time limit for the mission at this stage."
Given the severity of the current situation, after system analysis, it was concluded that the mission at this stage would be a long-term battle.
Xue Chenjing was much more optimistic than the system. He didn't know where his blind confidence came from. He asked in his heart, "How much does she like me now?"
The system replied truthfully, "The current target's favorability towards the host is 12 percent."
Xue Chenjing stopped. He stood on the line of light and dark at the entrance of the tower. He raised his gloomy eyes and accurately found the back of the figure that was about to disappear in the crowd.
The back was bright and lively, with a sky-blue top and a hibiscus-colored skirt. The beads on her head kept swaying and colliding because she looked around happily. Xue Chenjing could even imagine the sound of the collision, which should be the most joyful jingle ever.
Twelve percent, it actually increased so much. He tried so hard to please her, but failed to increase her favorability. But it doubled in an instant.
Does she like Xue Mingyuan? Does she like that kind of person? She actually likes someone like Xue Mingyuan!
Xue Chenjing felt as if he had eaten a fly. The blood color on his face faded at a speed visible to the naked eye. His eyes were clearly looking at the brightest place, but it seemed that they could not absorb any light. They were as dark as two deep wells that never see the sun. His facial features did not move, but they revealed an indescribable twist and viciousness.
Yu Yi, Yu Yi, Yu Yi -
she can like anyone, but she cannot like Xue Mingyuan.
People passing by the city gate noticed his abnormality, and some kind-hearted people came up to him and asked him what was wrong and whether he was feeling unwell.
Xue Chenjing waved away the handkerchief handed to him, took a step back and shrank into the shadow of the doorway, lowered his head and leaned against the wall in the corner, dug his five fingers deep into the bricks of the city tower, and covered his mouth with the other hand.
It was so disgusting that it made me want to vomit.
