Whether a person has bad intentions or not, and how much evil intentions he has, can be reflected in his body. If it is too strong, it will form Qi, which is the legendary murderous intention.
This man was obviously very murderous, and even the birds perched on the branches seemed to feel it. They woke up one after another and fluttered their wings to evacuate to avoid being affected.
Su Jiu obviously felt that the man in black next to him was breathing a little heavier, as if he was worried that the people in the room would be harmed. In other words, it was very possible that the two knew each other.
The person who came after him didn't seem to mind alerting the enemy, but landed in the center of the yard with a big show. Anyway, in Su Jiu's eyes, he didn't look very smart.
"The donor came from afar and doesn't know why?"
At this time, a clear voice suddenly came from inside the house.
Su Jiu was stunned. Such a young voice sounded like a spring breeze, even though it was summer.
"Quit being crazy! What is your relationship with Penglai?" The person who came here confirmed Su Jiu's thoughts, which was a very unwise move.
I saw the candlelight flickering in the room, and a figure was reflected on the window. Even though it was a figure, it could be seen that he had no hair.
The figure moved slowly from the couch to the door. With a creak, the door opened.
By the moonlight, Su Jiu finally saw the rumored appearance of Jie Chi. A flash of surprise flashed in her almond-shaped eyes. He looked like a jade-faced scholar. Of course, if he had hair, he would look more like him.
Although the wrinkles at the end of Jie Chi's eyes betrayed his age, his youthful handsomeness could still be seen.
He is a completely different monk than imagined.
Obviously, this is not the first wave of people Jie Chi has encountered, and he is familiar with the methods of dealing with them. "Amitabha, I only have a relationship with the island owner once. I don't know why the island owner would place the Penglai Conference in our temple.
hold."
"Liar! Could it be that the island owner of Penglai Island is sick, so he held such an important meeting in your temple after just one meeting?" The man played steadily, as straight as ever.
Jie Chi clasped his hands together and said, "Donor Jie Yan, the owner of Penglai Island is a very good person."
This man seemed unhappy and clueless, especially Jie Chi's words, which sounded like prevarication and perfunctory to him. His temper suddenly became violent, and he stabbed Jie Chi with a knife. Su Jiu heard someone not far away from him.
His breathing became a little heavier, just like the panting of an ox after pulling a plow, for fear that others wouldn't hear.
Su Jiu: ...anyway, it’s just child’s play.
The man obviously didn't inquire about Jie Chi's situation before the assassination, and he also overestimated his own weight. He didn't even use three moves before Jie Chi turned his hand and pushed him to the ground.
Then, Su Jiu saw Jie Chi smiling kindly and saying "Amitabha" to the man in black who was tied to the ground, then he lifted up the man in black and threw it towards the place up the mountain, as if he didn't care whether the man knew how to do it.
He was thrown directly off the mountain or hung on a branch. After the incident, he clapped his hands slowly, and it was nothing more than that.
After Jie Chi finished these actions, Su Jiu thought he would turn around and go back to the house. Unexpectedly, he turned around and looked straight in the direction where Su Jiu was hiding, with the same gentle smile as before, "Donor
, come out.”
Although Su Jiu didn't know if Jie Chi had discovered her, she was certain that he had discovered the man next to him. After all, the man next to him was not that smart.
Sure enough, within a few seconds of Su Jiu's thinking, the man next to him walked out in a swaggering manner, "Old bald donkey, long time no see."
My dear friend's voice sounds a little strange, as if it is in the period of voice change, slightly hoarse, carefree, and shapeless.
The two of them were indeed familiar with each other, Su Jiu could clearly detect it, and the smile on Jie Chi's face seemed to be a little brighter.
"Why are you here again?" She was helpless with a bit of indescribable doting, as if she was treating her own cub. Su Jiu didn't know why she felt this way, but she just felt like this.
My friend snorted coldly, "Master Jie Chi is always unwilling to tell the truth. I have no choice but to see what secrets are hidden in Master Jie Chi's room. If I'm lucky, I actually see the legendary Penglai Island.
Where is the Lord? Master, do you think so?"
"Lao Na met the owner of Penglai Island by chance." Jie Chi repeated the same sentence.
But the tone of his words was completely different from just now.
It's really my son's fault.
In Su Jiu's vague memory, whenever she did something stupid, she would turn around and see her father looking at her like this, pampering and tolerant...
Thinking of this, Su Jiu's mood dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye. Anyway, the old man just asked him to participate in the Penglai Conference. As for whether he could really go to the island, he didn't say. She stayed up all night and came here.
What are you doing here? This bustle is not pretty at all.
Thinking about it, Su Jiu just wanted the two of them to go and do whatever they were doing quickly. She wanted to go back to sleep.
I don’t know if this man in black heard what Su Jiu was thinking, but without saying a few words, he picked up Qinggong and left.
Jie Chi looked at the direction where the man in black was leaving and was stunned for a moment. He didn't know what he was thinking of, and his expression gradually dimmed.
Seeing Jie Chi's appearance, Su Jiu suddenly remembered the rumor about Jie Chi she heard in the restaurant. Was it really like the rumors that Jie Chi once had a loved one?
Su Jiu was stunned when she heard Jie Chi's voice sounded again.
"Donor, come out."
Su Jiu came back to her senses, raised her head suddenly, and saw Jie Chi looking towards her. For a moment, their eyes met.
Jie Chi discovered her a long time ago.
Su Jiu was secretly shocked, is this Jie Chi's martial arts really so powerful?
She has been learning Qing Kung Fu from the old man for nearly ten years, and has almost reached the point where she can walk on the snow without leaving a trace. She has also practiced the breathing method to the top, but she was still discovered. Then this Ji Ji...
Now that she was discovered, Su Jiu didn't hide her. She walked out openly and bowed respectfully to Jie Chi, "Master Jie Chi."
"Donor, it's getting late, so you should go back and rest early." Jie Chi said to Su Jiu with a smile, but when his eyes touched the sword in Su Jiu's hand, his pupils shrank suddenly and the smile on his face disappeared instantly.
, before Su Jiu could understand the reason for Jie Chi’s sudden change in expression, within a few breaths, Jie Chi had already arrived in front of him.
Su Jiu was horrified and subconsciously wanted to retreat, but Jie Chi grabbed her wrist through her clothes and said, "Donor, don't be afraid."
Sensing the tension in Su Jiu's muscles, Jie Chi comforted her and immediately let go of her wrist, with a hint of apology in his gentle eyes, "Amitabha, I was rude. I suddenly saw the sword in the benefactor's hand.
I just thought it looked very familiar, and it looked very much like it belonged to an old friend, so I was a bit rude, and I hope the donor will forgive me."
sword?
Su Jiu lowered her head and looked at the Yinshuang in her hand. This was what Wuming had brought along with her when she was in a coma. All the things she used on a daily basis were packed together, and the Yinshuang was among them.
Both the sword itself and the scabbard of Yinshuang looked very high-profile and dazzling, so she kept it wrapped in cloth during the journey, so the journey went smoothly. This time, she was out at night, so she didn't want to disguise herself.
"Donor...can you let me take a look at this sword?" Jie Chi stepped forward cautiously, keeping his eyes fixed on the sword in Su Jiu's hand, as if he was looking at an old friend.
Su Jiu looked at Jie Chi's appearance, thought for a while, and handed the sword to Jie Chi.
"Thanks."
Jie Chi took it carefully and gently rubbed the sword with his fingertips.
Su Jiu turned her head and looked at Jie Chi, and found a trace of tears flashing in his eyes at some point.
This sword was given to her by Lady Lan, and Lady Lan said that it was a sword made for her by her teacher herself.
In the flash of lightning, Su Jiu seemed to suddenly understand the sadness of Lady Lan back then, "Master Jie Chi, do you know Lady Lan?"
Jie Chi was stunned and turned to look at Su Jiu, as if he wanted to find similarities with his old friend from Su Jiu's disguised eyebrows. However, after looking carefully for a while, Jie Chi's eyes flashed with disappointment and he nodded:
"The girl is talking about the Queen Mother of Beiyan Kingdom?"
This time it was Su Jiu's turn to be stunned. It took her a while to remember that it was already ten years later. The fifth brother had become the Northern Yan Emperor, and Lan Niangniang was the fifth brother's mother, so naturally she was the Queen Mother. "Yes."
"I am lucky enough to be the teacher of the Queen Mother before I entered Buddhism." Jie Chi looked at Yinshuang for a while and returned the sword to Su Jiu, "This sword was made by me personally as a birthday gift to the Queen Mother."
Jie Chi paused and looked at Su Jiu, "I wonder what the relationship between the girl and the Queen Mother is?"
"Oh..." Su Jiu lowered her eyes, "It's just... I am as lucky as the master to be taught martial arts by the Queen Mother for a few days."
"That girl came here this time, but like those people, she wanted to know about the relationship between Lao Na and the owner of Penglai Island?" Jie Chi looked at Su Jiu, his eyes were soft, and he could see that Su Jiu was unwilling to talk and was very considerate.
No further questions were asked.
Without waiting for Su Jiu to answer, Jie Chi continued: "I have indeed met the owner of Penglai Island more than once, but except for the first meeting, I have never been able to see his appearance clearly again."
"Can't see clearly?" Although Su Jiu was not interested in Penglai Island, she also wanted to know why the old man asked her to come. Did he want her to find out some secrets? Or was he really just like other people who wanted to live forever?
Solution?
"Yes! And now, even if I ask him to draw his portrait, I can't do it." Jie Chi's martial arts has reached the pinnacle in this martial arts world. Su Jiu has just seen this, but even Jie Chi can't do it.
The investigation shows how powerful the owner of Penglai Island really is.
Su Jiu suddenly thought of a person. The man in black robe who kidnapped her during the Flower Goddess Festival ten years ago didn't know whether he was dead or alive now. But he seemed to know brother Jing Yi and knew his secret.
Looking back now, all the actions of the man in black robe were intentional, to trick brother Jing Yi on purpose.
For his own sake, brother Jing Yi jumped in without hesitation even though he knew it was a trap, just because the bait of the trap was her.
In the past ten years, following Wu Ming, Su Jiu also learned some extraordinary things. For example, immortal people may really exist. Penglai does have things that ordinary people are obsessed with but can never get.
Even cultivating immortality...maybe really exists.
As for Jingyi, in the words of the old man, he is equivalent to a paper puppet. The person who created the paper puppet injects part of his emotions into the paper puppet in order to let the paper puppet complete some tasks, and this injection is limited.
, the faster the power in the paper man's body is consumed, the faster the paper man will disappear.
The man in black robe just wants to quickly consume Jing Yi's power and lead to the person who created Jing Yi. What the man in black robe is really looking for is actually that person.
So, who is the person behind this? Who created brother Jingyi? What is his purpose? And what purpose does brother Jingyi have in approaching her?
For so many years, these questions have been lingering in Su Jiu's mind and cannot be dissipated for a long time.
If it was the old man's mission to come to Penglai, Su Jiu's rebellious temperament, and Wuming's doting on her, if Su Jiu really didn't want to, Wuming would definitely not put the knife on Su Jiu's neck.
Let her come, after all, it was Su Jiu who wanted to come. She wanted to find out the truth about that year, and wanted to see if she could find the person who disappeared back then.
