Qixuan

Chapter 12 Lantern Festival

"However, what I can confirm now is that Qin Yanming either has some secret law books and documents, or has a connection with Gongsun Yuebai. I am more inclined to the latter, because isn't Gongsun Yuebai practicing the swords of the gods, in Beiyan City Wouldn't it be more effective to find a master cultivator as a backer? And I once found Lin Jing's soul in Gongsun Yuebai's giant cauldron." Ji Chen quietly put the tile back.

Ye Feng asked: "Since the Qin family hid this matter so deeply, how did Mr. Gu know?"

Ji Chen was stunned for a moment, he raised his head and looked at Ye Feng with a very strange look, suddenly he quickly reached out and pulled Ye Feng, "Run!" After speaking, Ji Chen took out a fire talisman and stuck it on the On the roof, he took Ye Feng and fell off the roof.

Oops, I fell for it!Ji Chen cursed secretly.

Ji Chen felt the coolness brought by the sword qi brushing against his scalp, he gritted his teeth, and said in his heart: Why didn't I think of it, the Qin family is not something that can be entered in the backyard of his house, who is Gu Muyi? , is simply the incarnation of a thousand-year-old fox!The Qin family doesn't know how many eyeliners they have.

Ji Chen and Ye Feng ran wildly along the alley, the footsteps behind them were getting closer and closer, Ji Chen pushed Ye Feng, took out a brand new seal paper from his arms, bit his finger and drew on it A symbol of a puppet, and then pressed the talisman on the ground.

One by one, the puppets were summoned and broke through the ground to stop the latecomers.

Mozhi swung his sword and the puppets disintegrated in an instant, their bodies swelled like rubber balls filled with dust, and the moment they shattered, dust overflowed.

After the dust cleared away, only the alleys of Youjing and the bleak moonlight remained.

Mo Zhi put his sword back into its sheath, and a man in black stepped forward and asked, "Steward Mo, do we need to go after him?"

Mo Zhi waved his hand, "They're all worthless things, and we haven't lost anything, so there's no need."

"Yes!" After receiving the order, the people in black immediately hid in the darkness.

Ji Chen and Ye Feng ran out of the gate of Beiyan City before stopping, Ji Chen took a few breaths, "No, this road is not going to work, Lin Ning told me that she saw a ghost, if you don't get out If it was an accident, it should have escaped from the cauldron that I chopped open. Tomorrow is Lin Jing's first seven, maybe she will appear again, after all, refined souls cannot be reincarnated."

Ye Feng thought about what happened that day, he lowered his head and pursed his lips and said, "I'm sorry."

Ji Chen stared at Ye Feng for a while, then laughed and said, "I'm sorry for what?"

Ye Feng blamed himself and said: "I was too careless that day, and I fell into Gongsun Yuebai's trick, which caused you..."

Ji Chen stretched out his hand and slapped Ye Feng on the back, "It's okay, you are my only weapon spirit, we are brothers, don't think that I will abandon you or something, as long as you are still willing to stay by my side, I will definitely I won't drive you away. Don't think that I will throw you away or give you to someone else just because of Yan Heng's appearance. If something happens to me in the future, then you will be free."

Ye Feng looked at Ji Chen worriedly, "Stop saying such things, you will surely live a long life."

Ji Chen smiled wryly, "I hope so."

Ye Feng has been a lonely person since he was a child. He never thought that this kind of "disease" hidden in his bones would obey that nature even if he didn't remember who he was.

Ji Chen still remembered that when he was first found by his father, Ji Yefeng was afraid that Ji Chen would not adapt to the life in Qiyun Mountain, so he specially bought a child of his age in Xiaoyun City to keep him company.

Xiaoyun City is located at the foot of Qiyun Mountain in Zhongzhou. At that time, because of the tense relationship between Moxiu and Zhengdao, wars were raging everywhere here.

Ji Chen, who is in his teens, is still a little autistic, and he is almost unwilling to talk to anyone. When Ye Feng came, he also timidly followed behind Ji Chen. Sometimes Ji Chen thought he was annoying, so he would inevitably punch him. After beating and kicking, I got used to the life of always having a follower behind me over time, and this extremely bad behavior decreased a lot.

after that……

Ji Chen smiled and patted Ye Feng on the shoulder, "Let's go, it's too dark around, go home and eat the noodles made by sister Bai. You don't know what you pretend to be every day in your head." After finishing speaking, Ji Chen tentatively tapped Ye Feng's head, wanting to hear if there were any noises inside.

Ye Feng smiled, he couldn't understand why Ji Chen could live so freely all day long, even if the sky fell, he could still fall asleep.

He can't do it himself, he can't help but think about many things and worry about many things.

Ji Chen pushed open the door, just in time to see Bai Xue put the vegetables in the pot to cook, Ji Chen felt his saliva was about to flow down, he rubbed his hands together and said, "Sister Bai, I'm back."

Bai Xue said excitedly: "Ah Chen!" She put down the spoon in her hand, wiped her hands clean and greeted him.

Bai Xue reached out and flicked Ji Chen's forehead, "Isn't it time to hide in the house and sleep for a few days, are you feeling better today?"

Ji Chen moved his body and showed Bai Xue: "I am in good health. Didn't my friend tell you that a few days ago? I caught a cold and took medicine every day and went to bed early."

Bai Xue stretched out her hand to support Ji Chen's wrist, and pressed his pulse for a while, "It's indeed a lot calmer, it's not as chaotic as it was a few days ago."

Ji Chen licked his lips, "Sister Bai, when will dinner be served, I'm so hungry." After speaking, Ji Chen rubbed his stomach, looking pitiful.

Bai Xue withdrew her hand and said as she walked, "Little Greedy Cat, it will be ready soon, just wait a little longer."

Ji Chen lay on the window sill and looked at Bai Xue, "Sister Bai, you have a free clinic tomorrow, I'll help you move your things."

Bai Xue smiled and said, "Why are you so obedient this year, don't you make excuses every year?"

Ji Chen said coquettishly: "Oh, sister Bai, you see that I am so good this year, don't you give me a chance to behave?"

Bai Xue nodded, "Okay, you move. Don't get tired, and let me know if you feel heavy. Okay, the noodles are ready, let's get ready for dinner."

Ji Chen smiled and said, "Okay, sister Bai, I'll help you get the chopsticks."

After dinner, Ji Chen returned to his room and lit the charcoal stove. He looked at the red charcoal in a daze, and then he took out five blank talisman papers from his pocket.

Ji Chen found an empty bowl, and cut a gash in his palm with Luli, he tried hard to prevent the wound from healing, until he poured half a bowl of blood, Ji Chen stopped his hand with satisfaction.

He picked up the brush and dipped the blood in the bowl, and began to draw the magic charm.

The Demon Conquer Talisman is a simple drawing method of the Demon Conquer Formation, which has a deterrent effect on the demon cultivators.

As soon as the tip of the brush touched the paper and made a tick, Ji Chen could feel a sense of oppression coming to his face, he gritted his teeth and endured it, Ji Chen didn't allow himself to make any mistakes in this respect.

When the five talismans were all drawn, Ji Chen's whole body seemed to be fished out of the water, his wet forehead limply rested on his face, he threw away the brush and sat on the chair to breathe for a while .

Ji Chen stacked five talismans, handed three to Ye Feng, and said: "Tomorrow, after I finish helping Sister Bai move things, I will go to Lin Ning's side, and you will watch Sister Bai there, Gongsun Yuebai recently I have been very quiet these days, and I am afraid that something will happen tomorrow."

Ye Feng put away the paper talisman and asked, "What about you?"

"Me?" Ji Chen raised his eyes and glanced at Ye Feng, in the dim light, Ye Feng suddenly felt that Ji Chen was very strange, as if hundreds of years had passed between the two of them, a sense of vicissitudes mixed with powerlessness rushed over his face It was like being in a desperate winter night, surrounded by silence.

This was not at all the free-spirited man he knew.

It might also be the reason why Ji Chen's eyes were too dark, Ye Feng comforted himself in his heart.

Ji Chen laughed suddenly, which made Ye Feng regain some sense of familiarity. Ji Chen stretched his waist and said, "What can I do? If I can help with some things, I will help. If I can't, I will do my best." Go and help. If Lin Jing really escapes, the two sisters hit it off, and Lin Ning will practice the way of ghosts in the future.

Seeing Ye Feng's gloomy face instantly, Ji Chen explained: "Of course, of course, on the premise that the two hit it off!"

Ye Feng licked his lips, and tentatively said: "If the two of them hit it off, you... what can you do?"

Ji Chen brushed his wet hair and said with a smile: "What are you thinking? The two sisters have yin and yang constitutions. If they really hit it off, I'll just show them a clear way. Besides, I don't know how to cultivate ghosts. s things."

Ji Chen put his coat on the hanger, went to the bed and lifted the quilt and lay down on it, yawning and saying: "I'm sleepy, go to sleep, I have to work tomorrow."

Ye Feng listened to Ji Chen's breathing gradually calm down, he opened the door and walked out quietly, Ye Feng stuck two magic charms under the table that Bai Xue needed tomorrow.

The Lantern Festival in Beiyan City is held every three years. The Shangyuan Festival is usually for viewing lanterns and guessing lantern riddles. The Lantern Festival for Beiyan City is usually the day before New Year’s Eve. Young men and women generally like to write their names on the lanterns. , and then put the lanterns into the Miyue River.

Miyue River is the marriage river of Beiyan City.

On the day of Shangyuan Festival, when the moonlight can shine directly on the bottom of the river, you can see the shadow of your sweetheart.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, it is said that you can also pick up river lanterns with the names of destined people written on them.

When Ji Chen picked up the things Bai Xue needed, he staggered inadvertently, Ji Chen tried to weigh the things in his hands in surprise, and then a strange thought came to his mind, why did Ye Feng put the things in his hands? The talisman was stuck on the table!

Ji Chen used a little trick. He used his true energy to temporarily seal the ability of the magic-subduing talisman, otherwise he might not be able to move to the bank of Miyue River and he would be lying on the ground.

Bai Xue came out of the room with the medicine box, she said to Ji Chen: "I'll take the medicine box by myself, are your things heavy?"

Ji Chen carried the things and walked a few steps, "It's not heavy, it's not heavy at all. Sister Bai, do you usually carry these things by yourself?"

Bai Xue nodded, she lowered her head and looked through the medicine box to check whether she had brought all the things.

Ji Chen carried the things out, but he couldn't imagine how Bai Xue carried these things to the Miyue River by himself.

After all, this weight is too hard for girls.

When the two of them carried their things to the riverside, Luan Qincheng was already waiting there, and he ran over excitedly to help Bai Xue take down the medicine box.

Seeing Luan Qincheng's busy appearance, Ji Chen suddenly remembered the stupid little milk dog he raised when he was a child.

Bai Xue arranged the free clinic under a willow tree by the Miyue River.

Ji Chen walked over and pulled Luan Qincheng aside, put his arms on his shoulders, and said earnestly: "Brother, when will you come to our house to propose marriage? Worry.

Luan Qincheng scratched his head in embarrassment, but he took Ji Chen's arm off embarrassingly, but it made him uncomfortable, "I haven't mentioned this to my father yet."

Ji Chen lowered his arms knowingly, glanced at Luan Qincheng with a little displeasure, and commented: "Counsel, you are afraid that your father won't agree, it's not right for you to belong to the right family."

Luan Qincheng explained: "That's not true anymore. I just want to get rid of my father's control when I have the ability, so that I can marry Miss Bai in an open and honest manner. I don't have to care about her family status. Anyway, I will be married next year." It's time for the imperial examination, so don't be in a hurry."

Ji Chen squinted his eyes and looked Luan Qincheng up and down. He always thought that this young man was a coward with a weak character, but unexpectedly he was quite far-sighted. He thought for a while and said, "Do you know that you left? A small cage is equivalent to jumping into a big cage. People are wandering in different cages in life. You think you will be free if you get out of this cage, but you don’t know that there is another cage waiting for you. Even if you are The number one scholar in the new department, how many high-ranking officials want to curry favor with you, and marry you a girl who is not out of the cabinet, even if you can refuse, can you guarantee that you will not be fooled by the rich flowers and willows in the capital? There are some people who are better looking than my sister Bai, Can you guarantee it?"

Luan Qincheng said seriously: "Nonsense, am I that kind of superficial person? Miss Bai is kind-hearted. I like her for who she is, not what she looks like. You also know my family background. People with good looks, why should I not marry now?"

Ji Chen clapped his hands in satisfaction, "Okay, what I'm waiting for is your words, if you come to marry my elder sister Bai in the future, I will definitely give your Luan family enough face."

Luan Qincheng looked at Ji Chen in amazement, his mouth was open enough to swallow an egg whole.

Ji Chen couldn't stand it anymore, he reached out and closed Luan Qincheng's chin, and said in disgust: "Why, don't look down on people. I'm not talking big, kid, do you know what it means to be a real person without showing your face!"

Luan Qincheng hurriedly waved his hands, "No, no."

Ji Chen's eyes slipped from his shoulders, he stretched out his hand and pushed Luan Qincheng aside, just when Luan Qincheng thought he had done something earth-shattering, Ji Chen bought four apple candies and folded them back.

When Ji Chen passed by Luan Qincheng, he stuffed one of the candy apples into his hand.

Luan Qincheng looked at the apple candy in his hand, he felt that Ji Chen was really a person who was serious for only a quarter of an hour, and he really wondered if he could still remember what he said just now after eating the apple candy.

Luan Qincheng watched as Ji Chen divided the candy apples in his hands, and finally left one for the man in red who had been following him.

Perhaps today is the reason for the Lantern Festival, and vendors from all walks of life have set up stalls along the Miyue River, and they have probably temporarily escaped from the Moxiu murder incident.

Because the Miyue River is a river of marriage, the white jade bridge built on it is also called the Magpie Bridge.

Ji Chen sat on the tree branch for a whole afternoon and didn't find anything unusual. Luan Qincheng thought that he had already settled down like an immortal, but in fact Ji Chen had moved more than once or twice, but Luan Qincheng didn't notice it.

That's right, most of Luan Qincheng's eyes were on Bai Xue, and a small part of the time he only gave alms to Ji Chen from the corner of his eye.

As night fell quietly, lights were hung on the trees in the Miyue River area, and it gradually became lively.There seemed to be no shortage of people in Baixue's free clinic booth, and there was a constant stream of people coming and going. Some of them were people who had received Baixue's favor and brought some fruits and the like to thank her.

Ji Chen yawned, turned over and jumped off the tree, and slipped into the crowd under the banner of going for a stroll around.

Ji Chen slipped all the way to Lin's house outside the city.

As soon as he left the city, Ji Chenjiu felt a little strange. The village outside the city was still as usual when he left in the morning, but now after nightfall, there is a sense of death everywhere.

The surrounding area was very quiet, if it wasn't for the occasional chirping of birds, Ji Chen would have thought that he had strayed into the Qingfeng Order again.

This dead air gradually deepened with Ji Chen's footsteps, and when he stood at the door of Lin Ning's house, the dead air reached its peak. The tomb behind Lin Ning's house was emitting faint will-o'-the-wisps, trembling. Hiding behind the tombstone seems to be afraid of something.

Ji Chen pushed open the door suddenly, Lin Ning's body was floating in the air, a giant hand was holding her neck, and a faint white figure was fighting against that giant hand.

Ji Chen took out the knife hidden in his waist and threw it out, the small blade pierced through the giant hand with a shattering momentum.

The giant hand let out a scream, and curled up on the ground.

Lin Ning fell from mid-air and coughed violently. A white figure floated over and stroked Lin Ning's back gently with one hand.

The giant hand turned into a human-like appearance, turned around and rushed towards Ji Chen.

Ji Chen jumped back and pulled a distance away from it, pulled out a pitch-black longbow from the ring, put his fingers on the bowstring and pulled it lightly, countless streams of light immediately rushed over from all directions, in Ji Chen's hand Condensed into an arrow.

The shoulders of the giant hand flinched, and suddenly knelt down with a "plop".
