Chapter Sixteen - The Mystery of the Ancient Bronze Cauldron
[69 Book Bar - www.] Guigu College is very beautiful at night. Many open spaces have been organized into entertainment venues by college students. Men and women gather here, and some even sit holding hands and hugging each other, making others envious.
Oriole is like an inexperienced girl. She is very curious about everything. She wants to take a look at everything and play with it. However, it is a pain for Jiang Yi's old legs and feet. He hurriedly and slowly hurried behind the girl.
Complaints are endless.
"Girl Oriole, you are really full of energy. You almost visited the entire Guigu Academy this night, don't you feel tired?"
Finally, Jiang Yi couldn't stand it any longer and sat down on a stone bench.
The girl jumped like a snow bunny and came to Jiang Yi with a smile and said, "People rarely go out to play. We are neighbors. It's always good to promote feelings."
Hearing this, Jiang Yi glanced helplessly at the excited girl, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Who told me that I was born to be a good person? Let's go, I will spend the night with you crazy."
Wandering from south to north, Jiang Yi felt that his legs were about to break, and the little girl Oriole seemed a little tired, with her face flushed like a ripe apple.
When he walked to an open-air barbecue place, Jiang Yi was attracted by the aroma of the barbecue. He saw large pieces of roasted animal meat skewered on bamboo sticks. The golden color and the aroma of spices and cumin were far away.
It makes people salivate from a distance.
“What a delicious barbecue!”
The oriole couldn't help but cry softly, its big watery eyes filled with light.
The little girl seems to be a foodie by nature. She can't move when she sees delicious food. There are even a few drops of saliva at the corner of her mouth, which are caused by greed.
However, at this moment, a discordant voice suddenly came out.
"Hey? Isn't this the oriole girl who is known as the greediest in Zhuque Garden?"
After he finished speaking, a gorgeous woman in red neon clothes walked out of the crowd, walked up to Oriole, glanced at Oriole with a noble look that made you want to hit her, and sneered, "This is the White Tiger Garden.
What are you doing here?"
"Ah? Senior Sister Yunshan, I..." Oriole glanced at the woman with some fear, and her expression became unnatural.
"What are you?" the woman said aggressively.
Oriole was stunned for a moment, then her eyes showed a bit of timidity, as if she naturally lowered her head in front of this gorgeous woman.
The girl took a small step back and whispered, "I, I just came for a walk."
"Walking? I think you are greedy again and want to steal something here, right?"
The woman was domineering, and the contempt in her words was not concealed at all.
"I don't, I don't steal, I'm not a thief."
Oriole shook her head vigorously, a little mist appeared in her big, watery eyes, and her eye sockets were slightly red.
"How dare you say you didn't? The last time I caught you coming here to steal a piece of barbecue, I didn't teach you a lesson. I didn't expect you to still be evil."
The woman known as Yun Shan had an air of being unreasonable, and her voice became louder and louder, attracting many people nearby to come and watch.
Hearing this, Oriole's body trembled, and two big tears fell down. His face was red and hot, but he looked embarrassed as he wanted to leave but didn't dare to leave, wanted to stay but couldn't. His voice was slightly sobbing and he said, "I
I didn’t steal it, I really didn’t, and I gave the money to the person later, I really gave it to him.”
"Crying? Why are you crying? Do you think that if you cry, a man will come forward to support you? Don't wipe your tears in front of me. If you have the ability, find a powerful man to back you up. Otherwise, just go back to eating steamed buns and pickles." The woman said coldly.
, there was no emotion in his eyes.
The voice of the woman in gorgeous clothes was very sharp. At this time, many onlookers had gathered around. They pointed at the oriole with their fingers from time to time and whispered something.
At this time, Oriole was already in tears, and her thin and delicate body was trembling slightly, but she did not dare to refute.
"Guigu Academy is not run by your family, and this White Tiger Garden is not your back garden, but who do you think you are, calling others around?"
Just as more and more people were watching, a dull voice came out from the crowd. After saying this, Jiang Yi had already arrived behind Oriole, and gently patted Oriole's shoulder with his right hand, signaling her to stop crying.
"Jiang Yi?"
Oriole stared at Jiang Yi blankly with red eyes.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi smiled, wiped away the tears on the girl's face and said, "Don't worry, we will eat barbecue here today. We can eat as much as we want."
After that, Jiang Yi took a step forward and came to the woman in gorgeous clothes. After taking a closer look, he smiled and said, "It turns out to be you. It seems that we are really destined."
This woman is none other than the third young lady from Luoshen Mansion whom Jiang Yigang met on the road this morning when he entered Guigu Academy.
At that time, the third young lady was also domineering towards him, but was frightened by Jiang Zhannan.
Hearing this, the woman also looked at Jiang Yi. After seeing Jiang Yi's face clearly, her beauty suddenly turned pale. She pointed at Jiang Yi with her trembling right hand and said, "Why is it you?"
"Why can't it be me?"
Jiang Yi asked back and said with a smile, "Miss Luo Shen Mansion, you almost bankrupted me today to compensate for your colorful glazed canopy."
The woman glanced at Jiang Yi complicatedly, and the expression on her face changed again and again, and said, "Your name is Jiang Yi? Okay, very good. Remember, you messed with me twice today, and I will never do this."
Forget it. From now on, you can only rely on yourself in Guigu Academy. I want to see if you can still be so arrogant without your father!"
Arrogant?
Jiang Yi's expression was stunned, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I don't know who is arrogant. Well, I won't argue with you anymore. Guigu Academy is not your own, and you have no right to interfere with where others go or what they do. I want to do it now.
I won’t chat with you during dinner.”
With that said, Jiang Yi pulled Oriole aside and ignored Yun Shan. At this time, there were still some tears on the girl's face, and she sobbed from time to time.
"Jiang Yi, I really didn't steal anything." Oriole stared at Jiang Yi with big watery eyes, a serious look on his face.
"Okay, okay, I believe you didn't steal anything." Jiang Yi smiled and rubbed the girl's hair.
"I was so hungry that day, but my Demon Soul Jade had no demon souls, so I... I borrowed a piece of barbecue. After eating, I immediately went to Baishou Tianguan to kill some demon souls, and returned them to the boss when I came back.
Oh, I really didn’t steal it.”
The little girl became more and more anxious as she talked, and her red and swollen eyes seemed to be about to shed tears again.
Seeing this, Jiang Yi had a headache. He hated to see women cry, no matter what age they were. He went to the barbecue stall and bought two large pieces of golden barbecue, handed one to the girl and said, "I believe you, don't cry now."
, if you cry again, the meat will get cold."
Hearing this, Oriole blinked his big red and swollen eyes, first looked at Jiang Yi, and then at the barbecue wrapped in lotus leaves. He burst into tears and smiled, took the barbecue and said, "Jiang Yi, you are so kind.
.”
"Eat quickly."
Jiang Yi laughed loudly, as if the innocent girl in front of him who liked to cry gave him a special feeling, like a brother or sister, which made him feel very comfortable.
After returning to Suzaku Garden, the two said goodbye to each other and then returned to their rooms.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Jiang Yi took out the red crystal. He felt a warm feeling when holding the crystal in his hand, which was the array energy contained in it.
After playing with it for a moment, Jiang Yi started refining the crystal. A trace of array energy surged out from his fingertips and quickly disappeared into the red crystal.
Immediately, a pure array force was slowly drawn out from the crystal, and after merging with the array force exerted by Jiang Yi, it was absorbed by Jiang Yi himself.
After such a cycle, Jiang Yi felt that the energy of the formation within his body had increased significantly, which made him overjoyed.
"The demon crystal is indeed a good thing."
Jiang Yi tasted the sweetness and continued to stir up the power.
However, just when Jiang Yi was once again preparing to refine the power in the demon crystal, a green light suddenly appeared from his chest, and then the ancient bronze tripod attached to Jiang Yi came to life again, turning into a green
Xiaoding hovered in front of Jiang Yi.
"Um?"
Jiang Yi was stunned. He did not summon the ancient bronze cauldron. The small cauldron seemed to appear on its own.
The moment the small tripod appeared, a thought was immediately transmitted into Jiang Yi's sea of consciousness. Jiang Yi then said in confusion, "You mean, you also want to refine this demon crystal?"
As soon as the words came out, the bronze tripod shook up and down twice, as if it was a nod.
Jiang Yi was shocked when he saw this. The Bronze Ding seemed to be able to understand what he was saying, and he could also feel what the Bronze Ding wanted to express.
After thinking about it, Jiang Yi tried to put the red demon crystal into the bronze cauldron.
The next scene shocked Jiang Yi.
When the red demon crystal entered the bronze cauldron, it was immediately turned into a wisp of red smoke. There was a ball of red gas floating in the cauldron, and an extremely pure array energy rushed towards the face.
Jiang Yi's eyes widened, and he saw that the red gas was split into two, and half of it was sucked into the body of the bronze cauldron. Suddenly, the small green cauldron seemed to be a little brighter.
"Could it be that you can also practice?"
This incredible idea suddenly appeared in Jiang Yi's mind.
But what Jiang Yi didn't expect was that after the idea came to him, the bronze tripod shook left and right twice, as if to tell Jiang Yi that his guess was right.
"My dear, what on earth are you?"
Jiang Yi was very curious, but after the bronze cauldron refined half of the formation's energy, he felt that it was indeed a little stronger, which made Jiang Yi very happy.
Ever since he obtained this ancient bronze tripod in the dead city of Kunlun, the two seemed to have become one. The bronze tripod was powerful, which is what Jiang Yi wanted to see.
However, just when Jiang Yi thought that the Bronze Cauldron was going to refine the other half of the formation's Yuan Power, Xiaoding actually spit out the other half of the formation's Yuan Power and sent it to Jiang Yi.
"You mean, you want me to refine the other half?" Jiang Yi pointed at the red air mass in front of him.
The little tripod shook twice more, seeming to be nodding.
Seeing this, Jiang Yi shook his head in amazement, "Good guy, I didn't expect you to have this ability."
If Jiang Yi were to refine the fist-sized demon crystal by himself, it would take at least an entire night, and a lot of array energy would definitely be wasted during the process.
But at this time, the ancient bronze tripod actually showed such a magical function, which made Jiang Yi overjoyed.
