Qixuan

Ji Chen went straight to a small village outside Beiyan City. There were row upon row of houses here, crowded with people during the day, and now it was as quiet as a cemetery.

Ji Chen climbed over an inconspicuous wall, and was attacked by an unknown object as soon as he landed. He quickly grabbed the "hidden weapon" in his hand, only to realize that the one flying towards him was a half-dried plant. epiphyllum.

"I keep the door open for you every time, and you have to climb over the wall every time. Do you know how dangerous you are?! What if you fall and hurt yourself?" The girl had a red spot on her face, and she sat with her chin propped up. On the bench in the yard.

Although it has entered mid-winter, the girl seemed not aware of the cold and was sitting in the yard wearing a thin shirt. The moonlight shone on her blue shirt, as if adding a layer of gorgeous silk.

If the red spots on her face were covered up, the girl's face as bright as the moon would make people more fascinated.

Ji Chen put Epiphyllum on the shelf aside, he rubbed his hands and moved over, coquettishly said: "Sister Bai, don't be angry. I made a mistake, I can't change it." After speaking, Ji Chen took it out of his arms. A box of rouge with a sophisticated look.

Fortunately, the conscience of the shopkeeper was not eaten by the dog. He patted his chest and blew the cowhide to the sky, saying that the quality of the rouge in his house was one of the best in Kyushu. Survived the toss just now.

"For you, see if you like it?" Ji Chen pushed the box to Bai Xue with a flattering smile.

Bai Xue glanced at Ji Chen by the moonlight, and exclaimed, "Ah Chen, have you met bandits? How did you become like this?" After she finished speaking, she stood up and picked up the handkerchief beside her and handed it to Ji Chen. Chen wiped his face.

Ji Chen raised his face obediently, and smiled nonchalantly, "I didn't meet bandits, but you, see if you like it!"

Bai Xue didn't look at the box but pushed the bowl of porridge on the table to Ji Chen, she raised her hand to touch the bowl, tested the heat, "Drink the porridge while it's hot, I'll get you some water to wash your face. "

Ji Chen took the porridge with a smile, "Then it's hard work for Sister Bai." After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and took a sip of the porridge, purposely making the sound of drinking the porridge very loud, as if telling Bai Xue that he was obedient.

In the blink of an eye, Ji Chen spat out the porridge in his mouth, and said in shock, "This...is this porridge? It's bitter and sour."

Bai Xue came over with a wooden basin, and explained softly: "This is medicinal porridge, and I put something to replenish qi and blood in it. Just bear with it, it's good for your body."

Ji Chen looked at Bai Xue and was speechless for a long time, finally he sighed silently, picked up the bowl obediently, drank up the porridge in it, wiped his mouth and said: "The lack of energy and blood is brought out from the mother's womb, where is it?" Said it can be cured with a few bowls of medicinal porridge?"

Bai Xue picked up the handkerchief that Ji Chen put aside and pressed it into the water, and rinsed it several times, "You stay with me for a day, and I will take care of your medicine porridge for a day. Although the effect is not good, it's better than you don't drink anything at all. Get a lot."

Ji Chen took the wet handkerchief and wiped his face while coping with Bai Xue's persuasive teaching.

Seeing Ji Chen's indifferent expression, Bai Xue suddenly fell silent.

Just when Ji Chen wondered why she didn't continue to babble, he heard Bai Xue say: "You... your mother must have been in poor health when she was pregnant with Liujia... After all, congenital deficiency of Qi and blood is rare."

After asking this question, Bai Xue felt a little stupid, and she shut up embarrassingly. After all, how could Ji Chen remember at that time?

Ji Chen wiped his face clean, and he thought about it seriously: "I don't know about this, but I heard from others that my mother was relatively strong when she was alive, and she didn't take care of her baby while she was pregnant with me. It can level all the bandits on a mountain."

Bai Xue paused for a while as she washed the handkerchief in the wooden basin, looked at Ji Chen and asked tentatively: "Then your mother must be a heroine with a heroic spirit, strong martial arts, bright eyes and bright teeth, and your father should love her very much." her."

What the hell are these?It's in the storybook.

Ji Chen was dumbfounded, he slapped himself on the mouth secretly, he didn't know the door, he said bandits when he said something bad!

The most feared thing in Bai Xue's life should be bandits. She doesn't like to talk, so it's hard for her to find so many words to praise Ji Chen's mother. It shows how important it is to her to get rid of bandits .

Bai Xue absently rinsed the veil, she quietly looked at Ji Chen under the moonlight, he had a pair of sentimental peach blossom eyes, he always smiled every day, his nose bridge was straight, moonlight shone on his face through his slender eyelashes Some vague silhouettes were left behind, and the childishness of a teenager seemed to remain between the eyebrows and eyes.

Bai Xue thought, for such a beautiful child, the parents must love each other very much, she subconsciously stretched out her hand to touch her face.

Looking at Bai Xue's preoccupied appearance, Ji Chen guessed that she might have thought of his own life experience again.

Ji Chen boldly stretched out his hands in the basin and sprinkled a bunch of water on Bai Xue's face, before Bai Xue had an attack, Ji Chen had already moved a foot away, "Why are you so cautious, last time The previous generation is not my business. My mother only lived in the time when I don't remember anything. I don't have a deep impression of her. As for what you said, "Your parents must love each other very much." I don't know about that. But you said it all, my mother is a heroic, brave, martial arts, bright eyes and teeth. If she doesn't love my father, I probably don't have me. If my father doesn't love my mother, he won't hang in the room Let him draw a portrait of my mother himself, right. Anyway, that's what I think."

After Ji Chen finished speaking, he felt inexplicably relieved, the string of words that seemed to comfort Bai Xue also comforted himself.

After all, Ji Chen has never met his father in the so-called ten years that he can't remember anything. The sensitive and ignorant child always likes to think wildly, and put himself in a long-term unsafe position.

Sensitive and fragile hearts of teenagers.

Bai Xue forced a smile, "It's getting late, you should go to bed early." After speaking, Bai Xue picked up the tub and walked towards the door.

Ji Chen stopped her from behind, "Sister Bai, there are some things you can't change even if you struggle with them, let alone the past. You should focus more on the present and the future."

Bai Xue poured out the water in the wooden basin, on the way back she reached out and tapped Ji Chen's forehead, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I know you know a lot, go to bed now, it's already late."

Ji Chen stuffed the powder box into Bai Xue's hand, and asked, "Sister Bai, is there any place you want to go?"

Bai Xue started to arrange the medicinal materials on the shelf, without turning her head, she said: "Yes, I want to visit Nanzhou. It is said that the scenery there is better than here, especially Nanxiang. Also... my mother seems to be Nanzhou people."

Ji Chen nodded, "In this case, I can help Sister Bai find her family."

Bai Xue's eyes lit up, and the brilliance inside died down within a moment. She turned her head to look at Ji Chen and said, "Let's forget it...my mother was tied up to the mountain by bandits, and my grandparents probably won't recognize me." .”

Ji Chen stepped forward and hugged Bai Xue in his arms, patted her on the back comfortingly, and comforted her in a warm voice: "My good sister, even if they don't recognize you, you know that you still have some blood connections in this world." Darling, how wonderful this is."

Bai Xue smiled and pushed him, "I think it's enough for me to have you as an uneasy brother."

Seeing that she was fine, Ji Chen sneaked back to the room happily.

Ye Feng jumped out of Ji Chen's ring the moment he closed the door, he looked at Ji Chen anxiously, and asked, "How do you feel now?"

Ji Chen squeezed his brows and sat on the bench in the room, his whole complexion was gray and white, he was totally different from the radiant and gag outside just now.

He said wearily: "It's okay, maybe the pain in the bones from the pressure of the subduing demon formation has not passed yet, and the two kinds of pain are mixed together, and I don't know which is which."

Ye Feng propped up a barrier for Ji Chen, isolating him from the outside world.

Ji Chen lay down on the table and knocked on the teacup, looked at the window, only the miserable moonlight seeped in through the thin window paper, the candlelight outside had already been extinguished, and Bai Xue was probably asleep.

Ji Chen said weakly: "I'll just make do with the stool all night today, if the mattress is covered with blood, I guess I won't be able to tell Sister Bai tomorrow."

Ye Feng asked: "What's going on with you today, didn't I tell you not to be impulsive?"

Ji Chen signaled Ye Feng to whisper, and he made a few swallowing movements, swallowing the fishy liquid in his mouth, Ji Chen lay on the table and closed his eyes, saying: "I can't beat that Fairy Fairy with Nine Tails. Who asked that little monk to scold my father, my father will ignore me, anyway, he is also my own father. I... um."

Ji Chen swallowed the following words mixed with blood.

Ye Feng said: "What's the matter with congenital deficiency of Qi and blood?"

Ji Chen waved his hand weakly. He felt that Ye Feng talked a lot today, "That's all lying to Sister Bai, do you believe it too? How about telling her that I'm a big man who is rough with others, and my whole body is full of pain. Bleeding? What kind of symptom is this? It’s not a woman’s sunflower water. Don’t forget that she is still a doctor. Some things, it’s better not to let her know as much as possible. She is an ordinary person, so she should have been to an ordinary person. life."

Ye Feng wanted to say something more, when he saw Ji Chen's eyes widen suddenly, his palms were bloody from his fingernails, he coughed violently a few times, blood sprayed on the ground and made a "sizzling" sound.

Every pore of Ji Chen's was oozing blood, and black lines crawled up his neck and cheeks, carefully watching the unknown liquid slowly flowing in those tiny lines.

Ji Chen rolled over from the stool, hugged himself tightly with both hands and rolled on the ground a few times, like a drowning man, a gurgling sound came out of his throat.

For Ji Chen's situation, although Ye Feng is no stranger to it, she still finds it incomprehensible every time she looks at it.

Why is Fairy Yuque so cruel? !

The blood quickly stained the tattered clothes on Ji Chen's body, and he hit the ground a few times in pain, and it took about a stick of incense before he exhaled heavily, the pain came and went quickly, piercing his heart The general process is unbearable.

After so many times, Ji Chen is still not used to this kind of pain.

Ye Feng pulled the flustered Ji Chen up from the ground, and the latter touched the blood on his face, trembling his lips and said: "Tiger poison doesn't eat its eggs, why did I have such a thing? My mother also said This symptom can be relieved when I find the flute of the other half, I am afraid that I will go to see her directly before that day."

Ye Feng didn't understand why Ji Chen still had time to joke around at this time, so he frowned and said, "Stop talking, just rest and recuperate."

Ji Chen nodded obediently, and signaled Ye Feng not to worry with his eyes, he drew a water spell on the ground with the blood on his hands and washed it casually.

Ji Chen reached out and wiped off the charms on the ground, and the water that appeared out of nowhere disappeared into the room without a trace.

Ji Chen tore off the hairband casually, and casually scratched his wet hair, thinking about the fox demon who tried to steal his flute.

Ye Feng thought that he was going to dry his hair, so he put his hand on his shoulder, "Don't bother, go to rest early."

Ji Chen said casually: "I'll just hang it out for a while." After finishing speaking, his eyelids couldn't help but start to fight, and finally he took off the clothes on his body three times, and sat cross-legged on the bed wearing only his underwear, wet The clothes clattered against his body, and the two butterfly bones were particularly prominent. After a while, Ji Chen lowered his head and fell asleep.

From a pile of cloth strips he took off, Ye Feng found a rope woven in black and red, with two small frayed bells hanging from it, and Ye Feng carefully placed it on Ji Chen's bed. next to the pillow.

When Ji Chen woke up in the morning, he was lying sprawled on the bed, the rope with the bell hanging on it was entangled with his hair, carefully looking at the material of the black "rope" on it was exactly the same as his hair.

Ji Chen pulled off the bell and put it in his arms, looked around the room and found no trace of Ye Feng.

"Yefeng?"

Ji Chen called out tentatively, got up and picked up the clothes hanging on the hanger, Ye Feng had already thrown away the rags that he hadn't had time to tidy up last night, leaving only a few blood stains that looked like ink spots on the ground .

Ye Feng pushed the door in with a tray, and he put the breakfast on the table, "Miss Bai went up to the mountain to collect herbs early in the morning."

Ji Chen stretched his waist, yawned and said, "How early?"

Ye Feng put the tray on the table without any trace, "It's time now."

Ji Chen's yawn stopped abruptly, and he held back half of his breath. He looked at Ye Feng in disbelief and said, "It's...it's time?! Then I can sleep well."

Ye Feng glanced at Ji Chen calmly, and when Ji Chen looked back, he forcibly saw a trace of "hate iron but not steel" from Ye Feng's unsmiling face.

Ye Feng said: "Why did you let Immortal Fairy Nine Tails snatch the flute yesterday?"

Ji Chen simply lay down on the bed, and replied: "Didn't I say last night that I couldn't beat her, and besides, I still want to know if the flute will automatically play music in other people's hands. We were originally If I have something to do when I come to Beiyan City, Immortal Fairy will tell me the whereabouts of the other half of the flute, and I won't lose anything if I let her hold it for a while."

Ye Feng didn't answer his words, and said, "That song was created by a famous prostitute in Beiyan City 13 years ago, and what I feel is that beauty is easy to grow old, and youth is easy to pass away."

Ji Chen turned over on the bed with the pillow in his arms, facing in, and said, "What does that prove? What does my mother have to do with that famous prostitute? The half of the flute led us to Beiyan City just for a famous prostitute?"

Ye Feng shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Ji Chen stood up, walked over to put his arms around Ye Feng's shoulders in three steps and said in two steps: "Let's go, go out and inquire."

Ye Feng pointed to the bowl on the table and said, "Porridge."

Ji Chen took a bitter look at the bowl of medicinal porridge on the table, his stomach was filled with sour water, he urged Ye Feng and said: "The most famous things in Beiyan City are lotus cake and Guijianchou, go to the street Try it."

Ye Feng glanced at Ji Chen's ruddy face, and let him go.

The two wandered around for a long time, and at noon, they found a restaurant to eat at random, ordered a few dishes and two pots of ghosts, and gave Xiao Er some small money to send him to the street to buy lotus. cake.

"Hey, have you heard? Another girl died a few days ago. All the blood in her body was drained, her skin was dry, and she died so badly."

Ye Feng paused for a moment with the chopsticks, Ji Chen touched him with the wine glass, and said impatiently: "Why do you care so much about eating?"

The middle-aged man who spoke just now looked up and looked around, lowered his voice and said: "It is said that many people have died, and the Qin family has nothing to do with this matter, so they invited people from Qixuan Mountain, these people from Qixuan Mountain Just came to our Beiyan City, the bench has not been warmed up, so another one died."

The young man said in horror: "Do you think there is a great demon cultivator using human blood to refine weapons?"

The middle-aged man patted him on the head and reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense! Using so many human blood to refine the weapon, the weapon he refined must not make a hole in the sky?!"

Ji Chen's gaze was fixed on the plate of braised pork, Xiao Er came over with the oil paper bag, and said with a smile: "I don't think the two young masters look like ordinary people like us, could it be that the two young masters are going to visit you?" Duke Qin?"

Ji Chen took the oiled paper bag with one hand, stuffed the fast meat in his mouth and said vaguely: "No, I'm here to visit relatives."

Xiaoer smiled obsequiously and said: "That's a pity, the Qin family is a big family here, but since the two young masters are here to visit relatives, there are many fun things to do in Beiyan City, don't miss it."

Ji Chen rolled his eyes, patted the stool next to him and said, "Little brother, you sit down, and you can introduce Beiyan City to our brothers."

Ji Chen took an empty glass and poured Xiao Er a glass of wine.

Xiao Er rubbed his hands together and said, "How dare you, I'll just stand up, and I'll be fined if the shopkeeper sees it later." Then, he reached out to pick up the wine glass and took a sip, uttering a sound of admiration.

Xiaoer said: "We are Beiyan City, which is adjacent to Beiyan Mountain in the north. The mountain is full of medicinal materials. It is a treasure mountain. There is a town stone on the mountain. I heard that wishing is very magical. However, I advise you not to do it in the near future. Go, our Beiyan City is not peaceful. However, in a few days it will be the three-year Lantern Festival in Beiyan City. Our Lantern Festival is held at the end of the year. If you are interested, the two young masters can stay have a look."

Ji Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "I just heard that many people died in Beiyan City. Why, it's so uneven that the Lantern Festival has to be held?"

Xiao Er reluctantly put down his wine glass, licked his lips, and continued after pondering for a while before continuing: "The two of you can rest assured, Qin Guild will handle this matter well, and there are immortals from Qixuan Mountain, believe in this matter." Things will definitely be resolved soon."

Ji Chen nodded, poured another glass of wine for Xiao Er, and said politely, "Thank you for your hard work."

Xiao Er's eyes narrowed with laughter, he raised his head and drank the wine and said, "My lord, you are too polite, then you can eat first, I'm off to work, call me if you have something to do."

Just as Ji Chen said hello, he heard a foul word coming from the door.

A group of people surrounded a big man with a machete and walked in. He cursed and said, "I'm really mad, is that little girl a mad dog? She bites people violently, and she has to ask me to give her sister Revenge, the money given out is not enough for the master's wine money!"
