Years of ignorance of wine and dipped lips

Chapter 13 Ordinary Accomplices

Before I could correct his word "Master", Jing Nian moved away from me and said calmly, "Get up."

The suppressed state was lifted, and I couldn't wait to stand up, but lost my center of gravity again and fell to the ground.

The instigator raised my leg as if nothing had happened, and said with a little disgust: "It's so dirty."

After running barefoot for three days before reaching Tianyi City, of course it was dirty.I pointed to the shoes on Jing Nian's feet: "If you think it's dirty, return the shoes to me."

"If you don't return it, it's mine if you give it to me." Jing Nian held my ankle, without any explanation, scooped up the clean broken snow, and wiped off the dirt quickly.

This scene reminded me of the night when we first met, he insisted on putting on my shoes, and his actions were also not gentle.

So, except for giving me the spirit stone, Jing Nian is not a good person at all.

The fallen snow particles became white as jade again, including the bionic ankle in his hand.

Jing Nian's movements became slower and slower. After putting down his legs, he looked up into my eyes and solemnly said word by word, "Thank you, the shoes are very warm."

This sentence of thanks is somewhat strange, not for the life-saving grace, but just for a pair of shoes.But even so, this was the first time I heard words of thanks from Jing Nian.

The corner of the alley was dark, making his pupils shine brightly, like two transparent transistors, storing a sea of ​​information, I was forced to read it, and suffered from indigestion.He retracted his hands into his sleeves and groped, and took out a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake with a missing corner.

It originally looked good, but it was all because Jing Nian pounced on me suddenly, and the pastry was smashed into pieces by my elbow.

"Are you hungry?" I asked him.Jing Nian didn't eat anything as he was on the road for the past few days.

"Where did it come from?"

"Just now at the pawn shop, I took it by the way."

Jing Nian didn't take this ugly osmanthus cake. "I didn't expect you to steal things."

"That's not it... I've never stolen it before..." I was at a loss for words, and simply countered, "What qualifications do you have to say about me? You didn't steal the clothes and shoes I'm wearing?"

Thanks to him, the android learned the vice.

"Yeah." Jing Nian was not angry, but laughed out loud. "Speaking of which, we are quite alike."

"Who looks like you? I'm not a thief."

At the end of the alley, a monk came to this side and shouted, "What are you doing here sneakily?"

"Come on, my accomplice."

He was talking about the theft on the surface, but he was actually referring to what happened in the Jing Manor.

Jing Nian dragged me to the other side, the sweet-scented osmanthus cake dregs that hadn't been put away in time spilled on the ground, the sugar dipped into the snow, it was an insignificant seasoning.

He and I shuttled through the narrow streets and alleys, gradually throwing away the people behind us, and when we got out of the alley, what we saw was a completely different world.

The breeze supports the mountain, the clouds and mist shine in the sky, and the sound of cranes resounds and circles at the top of the peak.

It is really a fairyland-like place in Penglai.

A pair of cranes stood gracefully in front of us, and when they folded their wings, they turned into two doormen with the same appearance and voice.

"Who is coming? We know that the Wuyun Sect is an important place for the immortal sect, so we must not trespass?"

Jing Nian said neither humble nor overbearing: "Naturally, we know that we are here because we hope to join the Wuyun Sect."

The two looked at each other and said in unison: "Follow Master's instructions, my sect has not accepted any disciples for several years, please go back."

There is no room for rejection, no wonder Jing Nian said that things are not that simple.

He presented the giant scorpion that Miss Jing had taken out of her body, and said indifferently: "I also ask you two to help me report it."

When the door boy saw the scorpion, his expression instantly became tense, and one of them asked, "Why do you have a bone-tailed scorpion? Wait, why is this scorpion so big..."

The other person immediately slapped him on the back of the head, "What are you asking, why don't you bring someone up the mountain?"

"But Master is still in retreat."

"Where do we have the right to alarm the ancestors? Let's report to the elders first."

So they took Jing Nian and me up the steps, the stone steps were shrouded in mist, stepping on them was windy, like walking on flat ground.

As I walked, I observed that the mountains here are magnificent and can roughly be divided into eight main peaks. The disciples on each peak have different patterns embroidered on their robes, but when they saw our two fresh faces, their expressions were unanimously curious. .I was a little uncomfortable being stared at many times, but Jing Nian passed by without squinting, as if he was born to belong here.

The crane doorman took us through the labyrinth-like corridors on the top of the mountain to a secluded and elegant courtyard. The snow on the threshold was three feet high, as if it had been vacant for many days.

But when you cross the threshold, it's like passing through some kind of invisible enchantment. There is no longer a speck of white snow in the courtyard in front of you, and there are exotic flowers and plants everywhere.

These are also appearances. What is really different from other places is a special energy overflowing from the courtyard.

There are similar energy fluctuations on the Lingshi Qin Yuyu gave me, but there are only faint remnants, but now, it is so thick and deep that it is difficult to breathe.The doorman's calf trembled slightly, no one made a sound to report, they were all waiting.

Soon, as I approached, I knew what they were waiting for.

The courtyard is very large, with complicated octagonal hexagrams engraved on the ground. There are eight spirit beasts standing in the courtyard.But it doesn't stand still, every time half a stick of incense passes, a beast will take a step along the lines of the hexagram array.

Is it live fighting beast chess?I wonder.

Among the eight beasts, the crimson-purple one almost occupies an overwhelming advantage. The flying cloud strikes the lightning, and flashes into the grid of other spirit beasts one after another. Crimson purple.

If the voltage is right, it's a good power bank.

A vicissitudes of life male voice sounded in the sky: "Today's chess game, let's end here."

As soon as the words fell, the spirit beasts on the field instantly turned off their lights and returned to their original positions.I took a closer look, and there were obviously eight rockery mountains in the courtyard, like a thumbnail of the entire sect.

The charging treasure was gone, and I suddenly felt dull, but Jing Nian's eyes lit up, I followed his gaze, and saw that the hexagram array was still there, and there was an immortal sitting in every corner, and the one sitting in the middle was The winner just now, with his eyebrows drawn into his temples and majestic eyes, looked at us. "What is there to report?"

Only then did the door boy dare to step forward, and respectfully said: "Elder Yanzhen, today I found a strange bone-tailed scorpion, which is hundreds of times bigger than the ones I have seen in normal times..."

Before he could finish speaking, Elder Yan Zhen said angrily, "How is that possible?! My sect doesn't even raise a few ordinary bone-tailed scorpions. Where did the king scorpions come from?!"

"It was sent by these two people." The doorman said tremblingly, while reaching out to catch the so-called "king scorpion" in Jing Nian's hand, intending to present it.Unexpectedly, as soon as he approached, the scorpion, which was resting in Jing Nian's hands, immediately let out a threatening hiss, and a frightening black mist faintly appeared on the white jade-like body.

"Let me do it." Jing Nian said calmly, leading me forward.

The elder's gaze was burning like a torch, but he didn't stay on me for half a second. Instead, he pointed straight at Jing Nian and asked directly, "What's going on?"

"The elder should have heard about the fire outside Tianyi City a few days ago." Jing Nian said unhurriedly, "The instigator was this scorpion. As for the source of the fire, it was the Jing Mansion, and almost everyone in the mansion was infected. Infested with scorpion poison, unable to recover, we escaped by luck."

Jing Nian summed up the tragedy three days ago in one sentence. His tone was bitter, because he had just cried, and the corners of his eyes were red, plus he was already lovable, so it was hard not to move people.

I'm afraid no one present except me knows that Jing Nian didn't cry because of this at all.

Among them was the resolute and resolute Elder Lizhen. After all, he saw that Jing Nian was a half-grown child, so he slowed down his tone and asked, "What's your name?"

"Jing Nian is a servant of the Jing Manor, but he is homeless now." He lowered his head slightly, and the welt marks on his neck were completely visible.

Elder Yanzhen sighed, and could only say: "My condolences, child, the sect will naturally give you an explanation."

The elder summoned the sound transmission circle, and Qin Shuyu also walked into the courtyard after a while. He was glad to see me appearing here unscathed, but when he saw Jing Hou, he frowned again.

Jing Nian lowered his eyes and bowed to him: "Immortal Qin, we meet again, thank you for your care before."

Qin Yuyu could naturally hear his hidden provocative intentions, but he only gestured impolitely to him, and then knelt down in front of Elder Yan Zhen, and Yuyu was standing on the hilt of his sword.

"The disciple did not do his job well and failed to take back all the bone-tailed scorpions. I also ask the master to punish me."

"Then, have you ever seen this missing king scorpion?"

Qin Yuyu's eyes were full of doubts. "No, the disciple was stupid and fell into the trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, so he was led to the mine."

"What's down there?"

"The well is connected to the lake in the back mountain. There is no mystery in the lake. When the two of us returned the same way, we found that the entrance was blocked..."

Elder Yanzhen's whisk swept the jade bird, it stopped talking, and just repeated: "I also ask Master to punish you."

Elder Yanzhen was silent for a while, and said: "I understand your nature, I am afraid it is because you are dedicated to saving people?"

"Disciple doesn't want to find excuses." Qin Yuyu said in a deep voice.

What a pair of real mentors and apprentices who know everything about everything, I sighed, Qin Yuyu is too stupid, obviously doesn't know about the king scorpion, thinks that the bone-tailed scorpions are just poisonous things without intelligence, how can they know the foresight?

In the dark, the fire in Jingfu chose the deep-minded and cold-blooded Jing Nian as the breaker. Even if he was really poisoned by the scorpion, he would not realize the rest of his life afterwards, and still let me go first calmly, as if Ready to go.

Did I really save him?Or is it just an accomplice as Jing Nian said?

The red marks at the end of Jing Nian's eyes were like snake letters, and I broke out in a cold sweat.He sensed my gaze and gave him a warning glance, which I had to look away.

It's better to replace this dangerous sample as soon as possible.

On the other hand, as Elder Yanzhen said, Qin Yuyu was his beloved disciple after all, so he didn't criticize him harshly, but only told him to reflect on himself.

He turned his head to look at Jing Nian, and asked solemnly: "Since you were transferred from the mountain, how did you take back this king scorpion?"

Jing Nian explained the ins and outs of the incident without mentioning the mysterious figure in the sea of ​​fire. I became more and more curious about Jing Nian's so-called "mother".
