My Taoist companion just wants to welcome and refuse

It was dawn, the east was white, and the morning dew was still there.

Qing Tingyun calculated the time, straightened his clothes again, sat down, and used spiritual power to activate a talisman before the case.

The light spread on the rune, just waiting for another rune linked to it to respond.

In less than a few breaths, layers of water ripples suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and a tall and straight silhouette appeared out of thin air.

The Qing Yan at Yunjing's side was only wearing a moon-white robe with sleeves, and was walking slowly on the soft green grass. His posture was still refreshing, and it seemed that he had completed the sword practice that started at Yin time every day.

Brother has been diligent in practicing sword since he learned sword. Even if he is privately regarded as Yunzhang Sword Cultivator No. 1 by monks, the sword has divided mountains and filled seas, slaying evil spirits everywhere, and it hasn't fallen in one day.

Seeing Qingyan's strict self-discipline again, Qing Tingyun couldn't help but straighten his back even more, to show that he didn't slack off in spite of demons.

He and Qingyan exchanged their respective situations in the past few days, and noticed that Qingyan was surrounded by a clear shallow pond, and on the other side was a distant mountain stretching like a daisy, and recognized that it was in the mustard seeds of Qingyan.

When the senior brother left Cangcheng, he changed the location of his sword practice to Jiezizhong. Later, he got to know Xia Qi, and the two stayed there frequently.

Just now when Qing Yan appeared alone, he asked Xia Qi's whereabouts, and after Qing Yan had a meal, he only said that he was still sleeping.

Qing Tingyun was stunned, why did the monk sleep, could it be that he was too tired last night...

He thought for a while, regretting so much that he wanted to go back to the previous moment and cover his extra mouth, but felt that he couldn't think carefully, so he hurriedly packed up the thoughts and threw them out of his mind.

"...All in all, the evil troubles in Longzhou have stabilized. I will stay for a few more days in case something happens again during the Tianhai Banquet. After it is over, I will return to Cangcheng. Brother, don't worry."

After exchanging the recent situation with Qing Yan, he couldn't wait to enter the chatting session, and couldn't help but said: "Hey, since the demon hunter has also lived in Changyao, then senior brother has been staying with Xia Qi all the time recently?"

Qing Yan glanced at him upon hearing the words, and nodded in agreement.

The old god Qing Tingyun sighed on the ground: "Although Xia Qi is the brother's Taoist companion, it still represents the position of the demon hunter. The brother should be more careful when getting along day and night."

There was no answer from Shui Jing for a long time, he waved his hands embarrassingly: "Okay, I just don't say anything... Anyway, brother has always been measured..."

But Qing Yan suddenly said: "I have known him for many years, he used to have a good mind, even if he becomes a demon hunter now, he will not do anything against his heart."

Qing Tingyun wasn't shallow-minded, it was just that he was unguarded against his senior brother. Hearing this, he immediately recalled the old things that were difficult to calm down, and his expression seemed to have a toothache.

"Hey, being a demon hunter is thankless, and life is often hanging on the line. What is this picture about? You said that this child looks innocent and well-behaved, but there are always unexpected things. I still remember that the master used to choose a partner for him. On the day of the meeting, he actually said that there is already someone who has made a personal appointment, hey, I was wondering who it is... and I saw you, senior brother, walking over..."

Qing Yan wanted to get some information about Xia Qi, but he didn't expect such a thing.

Just as he was about to continue asking, somewhere in the Sea of ​​Consciousness suddenly trembled slightly, and slowly loosened, like dark clouds gradually dissipating, slowly revealing the bright moon and starry sky, a clear night thousands of miles away.

A memory is like an opened seal, trembling and dusting off, gradually becoming clear and familiar from unfamiliar and vague, until it emerges completely——

It was the meeting hall of the main peak of Cangcheng. Xia Qi was wearing light yellow clothes and was a little thin. He stood awkwardly among the disciples of Cangcheng, somewhat at a loss.

The leader, Qing Tingyun, comforted him and told him not to be nervous, and then introduced the disciples around him to Xia Qi one by one: "These are disciples who are willing to join the sect, and any one of them is enough to protect your life. And pick the one you like... Cough, of course, I just take a look at it now, you go back and think about it before making a decision."

The aunt who adopted Xia Qi was actually an old friend of Qing Shiyu, and the aunt's letter to Xia Qi included a request to choose a Taoist partner for Xia Qi and protect him.

However, the feelings of those who practice have always been shallow.

The head of the sect, Yiheng, came out of the customs and found out about this, so he intervened and added that those who become Taoist couples with Xia Qi can get an extra [-]% of the Lingshi monthly offering as a reward for protecting Xia Qi, so some disciples are really willing.

After all, the relationship between Taoist couples can also be practiced together, and Taoist friends with a slightly better relationship can protect a mortal for a hundred years, but there is not much loss.

At that time, Qing Shiyu went out to eliminate demons, and Qing Tingyun was responsible for this matter.

Seeing that Xia Qi listened quietly, he faltered for a while, and said softly: "Thank you for your trouble, that, I already have someone I like, and we made a private agreement to become a Taoist couple..."

Before he finished speaking, he blushed under the gaze of everyone.

Qing Tingyun was a little displeased when he heard the words. Xia Qi, as a guest, was an obedient child in his eyes. These disciples who were willing to join him were also screened by him. Set for life?

The smile on his face disappeared, and he looked around the room condescendingly: "Who is that man? Come out by yourself."

Xia Qi also looked at him silently, then moved his eyes to behind him, and then slowly opened his eyes wide after being taken aback.

Qing Tingyun looked back in doubt, only to see his senior brother appearing on this occasion rarely, a little strange: "Why is senior brother here, such trivial things still bother you... eh?"

He saw Qing Yan nod at him, then walked towards Xia Qi, opened his mouth in disbelief, but didn't hold back a word.

A ridiculous but seemingly true idea emerged...

The surrounding disciples also gasped.

Xia Qi was frightened and stayed where he was. Obviously he didn't know his identity. He blushed and stammered in a low voice: "No, you, why didn't you declare your family name..."

Qing Yan was as indifferent as usual, and tidied up the light yellow hairband that was as messy as his mood: "You said that you don't care about my identity."

Xia Qi hadn't come to his senses yet, and looked at him blankly: "...I, I thought you were a cook..."

Qing Yan smiled at him, seeming to be in a good mood, took his hand and gently squeezed it comfortingly, then turned to look at Qing Tingyun who was stupefied.

"I am his lifelong Taoist companion."

The scene became chaotic in an instant, and the disciples who had almost snatched away the head of the Taoist couple even forgot the etiquette.

The sun rises in the west, and the river flows backwards.

Xia Qi was led by Qing Yan in public, feeling shy but happy.

He tugged at Qingyan's sleeves amidst the noise: "Is it too straightforward, I think Xianzun is a little short of breath..."

Qingyan comforted in a gentle voice: "No problem, Junior Brother is happy."

Inside the mustard.

The memory has gone through the whole process, and Qing Yan didn't speak for a long time.

In the memory, that person was young and shy, those sparkling eyes filled with palpitating joy and love, and inexplicable joy slowly grew in his heart at this moment, scratching his heart lightly.

This is... the first memory that came back.

Xia Qi sleeps until he wakes up naturally, and the Qingyan is gone.

He stretched himself, and went to Fu Leshan to inquire about the situation in Yunxia Town as planned.

After hearing this, Fu Leshan stroked his beard and looked at him: "Why is the injury not healed? I have to work again." After thinking for a while, he pondered, "Yunxia Town has been infested by demons, but the degree is not serious, and there are disciples to guard it. , did not transfer."

Xia Qi was stunned for a moment, Fu Leshan's answer was completely different from what Lin Ming said yesterday.

Could it be that the problem still lies with Lin Ming?

Xia Qi guessed a lot for a while, and casually agreed that he would take good care of his wounds, wondering if Fu Leshan would take care of everyone so kindly...

Back in the small courtyard, Lin Ming who had been waiting there hastily got up and came over.

Xia Qi thought for a moment, decided not to disturb Chang Yao, and took Lin Ming to Yunxia Town alone.

Lin Ming rested for a night, he recovered, and his spirit improved a lot.Hearing Xia Qi relay Fu Leshan's words, and knowing that Yunxia Town is still there, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

And when Xia Qi asked about the details of yesterday, Lin Ming doubted the authenticity of the memory.

Yunxia Town is not close to Jin, it is already close to the coast, and Yujian is half a day away.

Lin Ming chatted with Xia Qi all the way, mostly talking about his daughter, he had been away from home for seven or eight years, and his memory of his daughter was only when he was ten years old.

When he learned of Xia Qi's age, he suddenly hesitated to speak.

Xia Qi glanced at him, and said seriously: "I have a Taoist partner, and I have already formed a contract of mutual understanding."

Lin Ming paused for a few moments, then said awkwardly, "...I just want to say that the Immortal Chief is so powerful, it doesn't look like he's so young..."

The two fell into an awkward silence for a moment.

Xia Qi: "..." He co-authored himself to be affectionate.

It was evening when the two arrived at Yunxia Town.

Xia Qi held the sword in his hand and looked up at the colorful lanterns lit up at the gate of the town.The streets not far away were crowded with people, and it was very lively.

Yunxia Town was really still there, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Lin Ming was overjoyed: "It turns out that what I saw yesterday was really the hallucination of a monster, that's good, that's good..."

Xia Qi was amused, thinking that this person had been played too badly by the demon beast all the way, and walked into the town together with Lin Ming: "Yunxia town is still there, most of the wounds on your body were caused by the enchanted disciple Chang Yao, it will take more Worry."

Lin Ming's heart was like an arrow, and he answered everything he said.

The Thousand Lantern Festival is just around the corner. Even though Lingzhou is plagued by demons, the degree of disaster is not evenly distributed. Relatively safe towns will open the lantern market in response to the solar terms, so as to pray for blessings and mourn.

Tonight, Yunxia Town is decorated with lights and festoons, and the streets are full of dazzling fireworks.

Xia Qi seldom passed such a lively place, and now he was infected by the joyous atmosphere around him, and couldn't help but feel happy.

He and Lin Ming walked through the crowded street, and saw Lin Ming running to a small stall on the side of the road, counting out the coins one by one poorly, then happily ran to Xia Qi, and handed him a box of small fruit drenched in syrup.

Lin Ming was a little embarrassed: "Yunxia Town is rich in golden fruits, topped with sugar, the skin is crispy and sweet, and the juice is rich. My daughter likes it very much, although it can't compare to exquisite dim sum... people at your age should also like sour Sweet, try it!"

Xia Qi was a little surprised. After thanking him, he took it, and couldn't help laughing.

This Lin Ming called him Immortal Elder yesterday, but today he changed his kind eyes when he knew that he was about the same age as his daughter...

But seeing Lin Ming being so poor made him feel a lot kinder.

Lin Ming was in a hurry to go home, Xia Qi didn't want to disturb other people's reunion, so he watched him leave, planning to go shopping in the Lantern Market again.

He walked leisurely on the mottled light and shadow, forked a candy and put it in front of his eyes, the surrounding lights reflected the candy coating clearly and deliciously, very cute.

Auntie and Qingyan will also cook similar meals, but I don't know if the special production capacity of Yunxia Town can't be compared.

Thinking of this, he suddenly saw a familiar figure from behind Tangtangzi, that figure stopped on the bank of the river away from the noisy streets, behind the green willows.

The shadows stand tall and tall, like pines and cypresses.

Taking a closer look, it turned out to be a Qing banquet.
