The two of them left the city. Yin Xiaodie poked her finger and asked aggrievedly:
"Is the benefactor going to send the slave home?"
Lin Dongjiu was noncommittal: "Where is your home?"
Yin Xiaodie pouted and was about to cry: "Although the slave's home is not far away, I am completely helpless and this is my daughter's home. I will be eaten by outsiders until even the bones and dregs are left..."
Lin Dongjiu: "..."
Seeing that Yin Xiaodie was determined to follow her, she coughed and said, "If you are willing to stay with me, then stay for a few more days, and I will find a place for you to stay.
"
"Hehe, my benefactor is the best!"
Yin Xiaodie hugged Lin Dongjiu's arm and smiled happily.
Whether intentionally or not, Lin Dong could clearly feel her rubbing his arm with the soft flesh on her chest.
Yin Xiaodie stood on tiptoes and breathed into his ear:
"Benefactor, from now on the slave family is yours, please don't drive the slave family away again, okay~"
You are playing with fire, woman!
Lin Dongjiu's whole body felt numb, as if he had been struck by electricity. When he saw that there were groves of trees on both sides of the road, he quickly calmed down, pulled Yin Xiaodie to speed up, and hurried towards Lei Guangzong.
Ji Ping had also given him the address of Lei Guang Sect before. Lei Guang Sect was not too far away from Crescent City, so Lin Dongjiu was too lazy to take out Fei Yunzhou and walked for a while.
...
"My benefactor...slow down...slow down...I'm so tired~"
Yin Xiaodie's face was flushed, her legs were weak, and she was panting.
She put her hands on her knees and gasped, no matter how hard Lin Dongjiu pulled her, she refused to leave.
Yin Xiaodie glanced at Lin Dongjiu with a resentful look, and said coquettishly:
"Benefactor, why are you walking so fast? There are no spiritual beasts chasing us."
I'm doing this for your own good... Lin Dongjiu was speechless and could only say: "Then let's rest for a while. I see there is a small river over there. I will go get you some water."
The water flows gurgling and the waves sparkle.
It's late autumn, but the sun in the sky is still scorching. Fortunately, this area of beautiful mountains and clear waters brings a few gusts of autumn wind, which makes people feel relaxed and refreshed.
If it's a hot summer day, this area is definitely an excellent summer resort.
If there is a chance, bring Ling'er Ruxue, call the master and the group of buddies, and hold a barbecue party here. It will be absolutely pleasant... Lin Dongjiu looked at the reflection in the water, with a lot of thoughts.
"Crack!"
A stone hits the water, causing ripples and scattering the illusory reflection in the water.
"Benefactor, what are you thinking about?"
Lin Dongjiu smiled: "I kind of want to go fishing."
Yin Xiaodie shrugged, squatted by the river, picked up a small puddle of water, and washed her face.
The crystal water droplets streaked across the cheeks and fell straight onto the smooth and white jade neck, reflecting colorful light under the sunlight.
She took off her embroidered shoes again, sat on the shore, soaked her small and delicate feet in the water, rippled up and down, and kicked up high splashes.
"You had a lot of fun."
Lin Dongjiu also sat down and looked at the beautiful scenery in the distance, but for some reason, he felt an inexplicable melancholy in his heart.
It was the same in my previous life. I originally wanted to travel to scenic spots to relax, but after arriving at the scenic spots, especially when enjoying the scenery, I felt quite relaxed at first, but for some reason, I slowly became worried and immersed in myself.
in the world.
Maybe it’s because I feel a strong sense of gap when I think about having to face all kinds of pressures in life when I go back...
"Of course, no one has ever accompanied the slave family on sightseeing trips. My benefactor, you are the first one."
Yin Xiaodie suddenly stopped smiling, her eyes became a little complicated, and she said quietly:
"My father was not good to me when I was a child, and I didn't have much freedom. Although I'm much better now, I still feel like I can't help myself.
Sometimes, the slave family always imagines that they can escape and go far away. How free they will be then, but unfortunately, it can't be done..."
Lin Dongjiu glanced at Yin Xiaodie and didn't quite understand what she meant. He just assumed that she was feeling a little emotional about her fate because she lost her parents and was like a duckweed.
When Yin Xiaodie saw Lin Dongjiu frowning and thinking, she couldn't help but dip a little water into his face with her finger, and said with a naughty smile:
"Benefactor, would you like to drink some water?"
Lin Dongjiu raised his eyebrows, but saw Yin Xiaodie half-opening her collar, exposing her shoulders, holding a pool of water and pouring it on her collarbone.
She raised her shoulders and collected the water in her clavicle. She leaned in front of Lin Dongjiu, pretending to be willing to take whatever he wanted. There was an indescribable charm in her affectionate eyes.
"Come, benefactor, drink some water."
Lin Dongjiu: "..."
Lin Dongjiu flicked her forehead and stood up:
"Stop making trouble, we've had enough fun and it's time for us to hit the road."
"Huh~ boring man!"
Yin Xiaodie pouted, put on her embroidered shoes, and followed Lin Dongjiu obediently.
The journey was smooth, and when we arrived at Lei Guangzong, the sun was getting west but had not yet set.
"Benefactor, what kind of sect is this and why is it in such shabby condition?"
Yin Xiaodie asked like a curious baby.
Lin Dongjiu responded calmly: "Lei Guang Sect."
Not far in front of the two of them was the Lei Guang Sect, but as far as the eye could see, everything was in ruins. The majestic mountain gate had been broken, the large formation protecting the sect above the head had long since disappeared, and the plaque that had been burned by the fire could only be vaguely discerned.
The word "thunder".
Looking further in, we can see collapsed buildings, destroyed strange rocks and green plants, and traces of the war everywhere.
If we don't compare it with the five major sects, the Lei Guang Sect in its glorious period can be regarded as a wealthy sect among ordinary sects. It's just a pity that a fly can't shake a tree... Lin Dongjiu shook his head slightly and took Yin Xiaodie with him.
Enter the Lei Guang Sect.
Entering the mountain gate, the visits of Lin Dongjiu and Yin Xiaodie alarmed the two disciples on duty.
The disciple on duty looked wary, and after stopping the two of them, he acted politely, clasping his fists and asking:
"Two fellow Taoists, why do you want to come to our Lei Guang Sect?"
Lin Dongjiu put his hands behind his back and said in a condescending tone:
"Go and tell your elder Ji Ping that the person who made the promise to him is here."
When the two disciples heard this, their expressions changed, and they immediately put on expressions of sincerity and fear. They bowed and saluted:
"Disciple has met the senior!"
Yin Xiaodie looked at Lin Dongjiu, with surprise flashing in her eyes. She wanted to ask something, but due to the occasion, she just opened her mouth and said nothing.
"Two seniors please come in. Elder Ji Ping has told us that as long as two seniors come over, please come in without any notification."
"Well, lead the way."
Lin Dongjiu nodded slightly, showing his noble air.
"It looks pretty good..."
Yin Xiaodie muttered something in an inaudible voice, put her hands behind her back, raised her chest, and her face suddenly became serious.
A magical scene happened. Yin Xiaodie's whole temperament changed completely. The original charm disappeared, replaced by a cool and dignified one, full of superior style.
It's a pity that Lin Dongjiu, who was walking in front, didn't look around in order to maintain his image as a master. If he noticed Yin Xiaodie's current appearance, he would definitely break the skill in one second.
The two disciples were muttering in front. Lin Dongjiu didn't have the pleasure of spying on other people's conversations, but within his hearing, he could still vaguely hear words like "Fat man, turned into a woman...".
One of the disciples glanced back subconsciously, but when he saw Yin Xiaodie's appearance, his face instantly turned pale. When he turned around, he even walked tremblingly. No matter what the disciple next to him called him, he would not
No matter what, he remained as silent as a cicada.
Lin Dongjiu felt confused and didn't think about it carefully. He still followed the two of them with an air of dignity.
Along the way, Lin Dongjiu saw many tents set up on the hillside, and some monks dressed no differently than refugees gathered around the tents to set up pots and cook.
Presumably these monks are the forces that Ji Ping has won over... Lin Dongjiu nodded secretly. Looking at the scale, there were about a few hundred people. In less than three days, they had already done a good job.
The two disciples led Lin Dongjiu and Yin Xiaodie to a two-story building. After entering the building, the two disciples politely arranged for them to sit in the reception hall to rest, and then hurried upstairs.
After a while, there was a rush of footsteps on the stairs.
Lin Dongjiu looked over and saw Elder Ji Ping walking over with a cheerful face.
Ji Ping laughed heartily and said: "Young hero, I haven't slept well these past few days, and I finally look forward to seeing you!"
Lin Dongjiu smiled slightly and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, but Elder Ji's mental state has changed from before, and his face is radiant."
Elder Ji Ping smiled even more happily: "That's all thanks to Young Hero. Fortunately, with Young Hero's funding, the rebuilding of Lei Guang Sect is just around the corner!"
After a while of pleasantries, Elder Ji Ping got down to business:
"Young hero, that matter..."
Before the last part of the sentence could be finished, Elder Ji Ping immediately stopped talking and said with a smile: "Young hero, please follow me to the meeting hall to talk about it."
After saying that, he retreated from the surrounding disciples and glanced at Yin Xiaodie rather vaguely.
Lin Dongjiu understood, nodded, and said to Yin Xiaodie:
"Just stay here and wait for me. If you want to eat something, just let them ask for it. You're welcome."
Yin Xiaodie seemed a little unhappy, but she didn't show it blatantly. She just looked a little down and muttered:
"Oh well..."
Lin Dongjiu didn't want to listen to her. He stood up, straightened his clothes, and went upstairs directly with Ji Ping.
After Yin Xiaodie watched Lin Dongjiu go upstairs and saw that there was no one in the hall, she took off her embroidered shoes, covered her two little feet with her skirt to prevent others from seeing them, and then curled up on the lounge chair in an extremely lazy posture.
.
She half-closed her eyes, subconsciously touched the bracelet on her wrist, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly...
