Years of ignorance of wine and dipped lips

Chapter 15 Sample No. 1 is sick

After finishing the meal, I started to look for Xu Jin, my junior brother whom I had never met. This process was more difficult than imagined.Asking around, either I have never seen it or I don't know it, I just wish I could post a missing person notice.

In the end, we found Xu Jin by the swill bucket, and he stuffed a lump of leftovers into his mouth.

"Brother Xu?"

He raised his head and smiled innocently at us with food in his mouth. If this smile appeared on the face of an immature child, it would be very healing.

But if it was on the face of a middle-aged man, it would be inexplicably weird.

That's right, Xu Jin is an uncle with a scraggly face and a beard, and he seems to have mental problems. His cheeks are sunken and his eyes are bulging, as if he has been hungry for many days.

Jing Nian was very disappointed, "You are an idiot like you."

"I'm not a fool." I glared at him and said to Xu Jin, "Master is looking for you, go back quickly."

"Master? What master?" He wrapped his arms around the slop bucket, his face full of doubts.

"Our master, Elder Xue, the master of Xigen Peak."

"No, he came later. My master is the previous peak master..." Xu Jin muttered something in a low voice, and was drawn away again—the swill that had been left for a few days was stinky, but he ignored it. delicacies.

Hearing this, Jing Nian didn't care about his dirty body, grabbed Xu Jin's skirt suddenly, and asked in a deep voice: "What is the last peak master? Tell me."

Xu Jin didn't dare to look at him, and buried his head in the bucket desperately, speaking incoherently. "The fire...the fire was so big that day...I saw Master standing in the fire...then...then the fire went out...all the disciples on the peak died..."

Suddenly, there was a connection between the deserted peak and the sea of ​​fire in Jing Nian's memory.

"What happened that day?" Jing Nian's fingers tightened, Xu Jin could barely breathe, but the mournful cry when he was dying was still: "I'm so hungry..."

Fortunately, the kitchen master followed the sound, and Jing Nian let Xu Jin go. The latter kicked his limbs and knocked over the swill bucket during the struggle, making the ground messy, so the kitchen master cursed and cleaned up the scene. "Why is it you again? Our sect has never been short of food for our disciples. Are you afraid that you are reincarnated from starvation?"

Xu Jin ignored it, and even grabbed the dirty snow from the ground and stuffed it into his mouth. There seemed to be a bottomless pit in his stomach, which was twice as much as a normal person's food intake, but he was still skinny.While swallowing, he glanced at Jing Nian in fear, for fear of being caught again.

It seemed that there was nothing to ask him, Jing Nian restrained his sharpness, and turned to the kitchen master with a normal expression: "How long have you been in Wuyun Sect?"

"Don't talk about decades."

"Did Xu Jin become this crazy and stupid after the fire?"

"What big fire? How can you believe a fool's words?" The kitchen master became nervous, talking about him from left to right. "In short... the next time you see him, just tie him back to Xigen Peak."

Then, he excused himself and left in a hurry.

There was no one else present, Jing Nian just took half a step when Xu Jin shivered and hid.

"You scared him, he was very scared." I stopped Jing Nian.

"How do you know he's scared?" Jing Nian asked back.

"Isn't that obvious?"

Pounding heartbeat, thirst, sweating, and nervous trembling all fit the stress response of extreme fear.

But barbarians naturally don't understand, so I added, "You can also feel his emotions... It's empathy, understand?"

Jing Nian let go, and looked at Xu Jin's face, like looking at mutton on a chopping board.His eyes swept over the edges of his dilated pupils and twitching facial muscles, and he still shook his head, "I don't understand, and I can't feel it. Besides, it's none of my business that he's afraid, what if it's just an act?"

"So you're not normal, you're sick."

The probability of encountering two mental illnesses at the same time is extremely low, why did it happen to me?

"I am sick?"

While Jing Nian bowed his head in thought, Xu Jin fled away.

Busy busy.

I looked helplessly at the rest of the patients, "So, how long have you been in this situation?"

Jing Nian ignored me, he seemed to be full of thoughts because of my words, and left without saying a word, even though I called him several times behind.

I kicked the small stones under my feet away irritably. Forget it, if you don’t cooperate, you can’t cooperate. Anyway, I can’t cure him of this disease.

Although he failed to bring Xu Jin back, Elder Xue didn't have the time to blame me, because he sat on the bed most of the day and drank the medicine hard, his expression was distorted due to the pain, and his face was blind for nothing.

Qin Yuyu often came to visit him, and the two of them still didn't like to talk aloud, but used a screen instead, and the shadows of their hands did not meet each other inside and outside.

Watching the birds is so fascinating that the decocted medicine becomes cold.Elder Xue asked me to go to the alchemy room to guard the most expensive big furnace in the whole peak. Pills.He handed me a token, only with it can I enter and leave the alchemy room full of formations.

Only when I am wrapped in the smoky medicinal fragrance, I have a sense of self-realization.

When I didn't realize the value, I went to listen to the lectures given by Elder Bafeng. Most of them talked about inner strength and mental methods.Elder Xue came the least because of his health, but every time he came, he would definitely look for Jing Nian, either for mysterious books or unique medicines.

I think, if Elder Xue is really a game NPC, Jing Nian is a heavy player, and the former rushes to serve the latter.

Similar days often pass very quickly, and being scolded is a common occurrence, and Jing Nian is the complete opposite to me. Every so often, I hear someone mention him, such as half-day qi refining, ten-day foundation building, and alchemy formation in April. Highly praised, amazing, I don't know whether it is true or false.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that I have been here for half a year, and I have not yet reached the entry level. Elder Yanzhen firmly believes that hard work can make up for one's weakness, so he asked me to get up early every day to do morning exercises, and my practice will definitely be more effective.

I think there is nothing wrong with waking up early to recharge, not to mention the limited number of spiritual stones received by new disciples every month, and scientific recharging is even more necessary in poor days.

So every day when the first ray of dawn comes, I climb up to the roof and lie down, where the shading is the least and the light is the most even.Watching the snow melt, the spring is full, and the summer solstice suddenly.

The scenery on the roof is quite good. The neighbors of the eight peaks are all separated by a moat. Below is the abyss, and above is the river vacated in the ditch. It is like a bright galaxy in the daytime, and the galaxy disappears at night. , the two peaks are no longer connected, similar to a curfew system.

Disciples in the school jokingly call it the Magpie Bridge. Every day when the western mountain sinks, the Magpie Bridge will return from the world to the sky. Materialists such as me, right is a fantasy.

Coincidentally, Jing Nian's dormitory is across the river from me.

It's not a coincidence that even if you look a little sideways, you can see them, but there has never been an intersection.

But during class and meals, I always look up and see down, people of a kind gather in groups, Jing Nian is surrounded by outstanding people from all peaks, it seems that I am alone, his expression is as usual, like ordinary colleagues, separated by a few tables, to each other I said hello briefly.

Someone asked: "I heard that you both joined the teacher on the same day, but are you old acquaintances?"

"Well, I've seen it." He said.

I also nodded: "Yes, I picked him up, I picked him up."

They exchanged glances and said with a smile: "That means we know each other? Why are we so distant now?"

"Because I said he was sick last time."

"Haha, I didn't expect Senior Brother Qi to know medical skills. Tell me, what kind of disease is it?"

"This is his personal privacy, so I can't tell you." I replied sternly.

Hearing this, these disciples laughed more wantonly, Jing Nian didn't smile, but stood up and said calmly: "Go back after eating, Master will teach later, don't make him wait."

The crowd then left together, the voice of whispering was exceptionally clear.

"The rumors are true, Senior Brother Qi is indeed a fool."

"Although he is very funny, I really don't want to call him a fool."

"There is no way. There are almost no disciples in Xigen Peak. He is the first disciple now. You don't know the identity of Elder Xue. Of course we have to give him face as a disciple."

"Oh, the name doesn't match the reality, no wonder Jing Nian doesn't want to have anything to do with him."

"What's more, with Jing Nian's speed in cultivation and Elder Yan Zhen's liking for him so much, it won't be long before we seniors can get anything to do with him."

The piercing sound of the sword cutting through the air pulled me out of my memories, and even on the other side of the river, I could feel the savage overflow of abundant spiritual power, sweeping every inch of the world.

Jing Nian was also doing morning exercises, he came earlier than me.

Excellent people tend to work harder, and introversion is everywhere.

But it has nothing to do with me.

Switch to standby mode for faster charging.

Unfortunately, after charging for a long time, the sun was blocked by the clouds blown by the wind, and the unstable light caused the unstable current, which seriously damaged the battery.

I reluctantly opened my eyes, oh so it wasn't Yunying.

It's the shadow of Jing Nian, a little taller than before.After he entered the fairy gate, his whole person's aura became more and more dazzling. At this moment, his clothes were fluttering in the wind, like an exiled immortal, about to return to the cloud.The sensitive auditory system of the bionic man was completely unaware that he was coming across the river.

I turned away from the shadowed area, wanting to continue to receive light.Jing Nian didn't let me do what I wanted, which seemed to be some kind of source of pleasure, his tone was relaxed: "What are you doing hiding from me?"

"I didn't hide from you, but from the shadow."

"Are you angry? Because I ignored you for half a year?" His index finger casually twirled my hair, which had grown a lot, making me look no different from the aborigines here.But instead of hair, it's sensitive optical fibers wrapped in simulated proteins.

The fiber optics are excellent in transmission, and as a direct result I was itchy, so I pulled out my hair. "Stop playing."

"What? Isn't Senior Brother Qi easy to use? Why can't you touch it?" Jing Nian's words are as bad as his smile.

Like those disciples, he used the mocking title of Brother Qi.I'm so angry, the reason why I became a laughing stock is not because Jing Nian insisted on me coming here, but still laughed at me?

Anyway, the battery couldn't be charged, so I sat up and asked him, "Am I angry? Can't you feel it?"

"Well, I was born that way."

"Then how did you live in Jingfu before?"

"It's very simple, I don't need to feel their emotions, I just need to know how they want me to react."

That's how it is, because I can't feel the fear and sorrow of others, so I can do those things calmly.

Jing Nian, my No. [-] sample, has some kind of flaw.At this moment, a slight confusion appeared on his face: "Why did Mrs. Jing cry when Young Master Jing died? I clearly remember that mother is not like this."

"Is your mother treating you badly?"

"It's all over, everyone was burned to death, so there's no need to mention it."

"Is it the fire that broke Gen Peak?" After all, I was somewhat curious about his past.

"Hmm." He didn't evade this time. "It's not that the house is on fire, I lied to you."

But my doubts were even heavier. "Since your mother is from Jigen Peak, aren't you a descendant of the Immortal Sect? Why did you become a servant of an ordinary family?"

"After the Immortal Gate?" Jing Nian repeated these four words, laughing sarcastically. "It really flatters me."

I have no intention of exploring the entanglements of the previous generation. One year of Jing is enough for me to figure it out, so I can only comfort him. "Regardless of your background, what the elders value is your aptitude, and your illness can also be cured."

"I'm not sick." Jing Nian said indifferently, "Speaking of business, I heard—are you still in the Qi refining stage?"

"It shouldn't even count as refining qi." I said frankly.

"I already formed a pill last month."

"Well, I heard." I smiled at Jing Nian, "Congratulations."

"So I have more free time recently."

"Oh...then congratulations on this one too."

I thought Jing Nian was quite showy.

His face darkened, "Don't you have any aggressiveness?"

"No." I estimated the probability of sunny days in the next few days. "It's fine to keep the status quo."
