Su Jiu said, thinking this person was a bit strange, but didn't ask any more questions.
The little doorman still sent Su Jiu to the lobby as usual and stopped, "Amitabha, long-time donor, the young monk will bring you a meal in a moment. After you finish eating, go to bed early. At that time, the young monk's uncle will lead the donor to the designated place.
"
Seeing that the little doorman had returned to his usual appearance, Su Jiu felt a little regretful. She nodded and seemed to have remembered something and said, "By the way, little master, please tell the abbot that I will leave my sword with him for the time being."
After a while, I will ask him for it after I return from Penglai Island."
Although Su Jiu didn't know what happened between Jie Chi and Lan Niang Niang, looking at Master Jie Chi's appearance, he must still be thinking about Lan Niang Niang in his heart. She didn't use the sword many times on weekdays, so it would be better to give Jie Chi more
Look at it for a while and think about people.
Hearing what Su Jiu said, a flash of shame and embarrassment flashed across the little doorman's face. He vaguely remembered that when he went to the abbot to get back his sword before the game started, the abbot looked so shameless. Don't be too shocked. The abbot also
He said that based on what he thought, Donor Jiu could win today's game even without the sword.
No, the key point is not that the donor should return other people's things first regardless of whether he can win or not? Uncle Abbot, you are too arrogant to find this reason?!
"Yes, the young monk will tell it to the abbot."
Seeing Su Jiu's generosity, the little doorman felt more and more ashamed. He decided to prepare more dishes for Master Jiu later. Well, as for whose meal the meal would be deducted from, of course it was Uncle Jie Chi.
Su Jiu smiled and watched the little doorman leave, then turned and walked back to her room.
After eating the vegetarian meal brought by the little doorman, Su Jiu fell asleep. After all, she still had things to do at night.
The chirping of cicadas gradually faded away, the sound of crickets kept coming and going, the egg-yolk-like sun in the sky fell into the horizon, and the sky became completely dark.
Su Jiu slowly opened her eyes and glanced at the sky outside. Without turning on the lamp, she stood up and sat cross-legged on the bed. She took out the leaf from her arms. The whole room was very dark at this time. There was no moon today. Su Jiu
But I could clearly see the veins of the leaves, and in the very center of the leaves, a word suddenly appeared - '九'.
Su Jiu gently stroked the word '玖' with his fingertips, and his apricot eyes flashed slightly. This leaf is very thin. Even if the best martial arts is to engrave words on this leaf, it will leave some traces, such as
It would feel uneven to the touch, but she couldn't feel it at all at this moment. Instead, the veins of the leaf were a bit irritating.
After studying it carefully for a while, I couldn't figure out a reason. So far, everything on Penglai Island has given the impression that it is mysterious.
No wonder so many people think Penglai Island is the Immortal Island.
During the rubbing process, for some reason, Su Jiu couldn't help but recall that cold hand.
Thinking of its actions, Su Jiu couldn't help but sigh in her heart. The old woman actually touched the little girl's hand!
Soon, there was a protest in the stomach, and Su Jiu fell down to sleep after finishing lunch. At this time, about three hours must have passed. It was dark late in the summer, and it was pitch black outside at this time.
, it must be quite late.
Su Jiu got dressed and walked to the lobby. Sure enough, she saw the food box for the evening fasting meal quietly placed on the small table in the lobby. When she opened the lid of the food box, the food was fragrant, but the pattern of the fasting meal was still the same.
Repeat again.
But before Su Jiu could move, a faint fragrance mixed with the smell of food floated into her nose.
Su Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then she immediately realized what she was doing. She put the food under the candlelight and observed it carefully. Sure enough, she found clues in the tofu mixed with green onions.
I just don’t know if the poisoner poisoned me before the doorman delivered the food, or if he didn’t come out for a long time after the food was delivered, he was so bold and evil.
Su Jiu prefers the latter.
After all, the eminent monks of Jingfa Temple are not vegetarians either.
So here comes the question, who doesn’t want to enter Penglai themselves?
This medicine is cleverly administered. It is not a poison that causes death. Of course, it will not make people feel better. If they sleep for seven days and seven nights, if no one is found during this period, their skin will peel off even if they wake up in the end.
Su Jiu thought for a while, and thought of too many people. The target was too big to be locked, so she simply didn't think about it and just shared the risk. Everyone among the people she thought of was possible, so everyone was small.
Wouldn't it be nice if I gave you a little lesson?
Thinking about this, Su Jiu ate all the green onions mixed with tofu and rice. This little bit of poison had no effect on her.
After finishing the meal, Su Jiu put her hands behind her back and walked slowly towards the house where the people on the referee's seat lived.
The master is right. Some people have lived for too long and have long since forgotten their own worth. They are not strong enough and have to resort to tricks. Most of the dirty things are done by people from these sects, destroying the world.
The original atmosphere should be rectified, at least it should not make them too comfortable.
As soon as I got there, I heard the sound of the wheels rubbing against the ground.
Su Jiu was stunned and hid in the rockery nearby. From this angle, she could only see a little bit of the path.
"Master, you are not in good health, but you still insist on playing chess with Master Jie Chi. Why is this?"
The voice of the speaker was rough and wild, and Su Jiu felt a little familiar.
"Master Jiezhi invites you kindly, how can I refuse? I will be going down the mountain after today, and I am afraid it will be a long time before I can play chess again." The man's voice was clear and smooth, making people feel like a spring breeze, but this breath sounded...
Like being sick.
Su Jiu naturally recognized it. This man was the one who helped her block the hidden weapon that day. If she remembered correctly, this man was the master of Tianji Pavilion, named Tianji.
Just as Su Jiu was thinking to herself, the sound of the wheels rolling over the ground became clearer and clearer, and a piece of cyan clothes and a part of a wheelchair broke into her field of vision.
Isn't this person fine today? Why did he become so serious that he had to use a wheelchair at night?
His subordinate sighed heavily, what should I do if the master is too stubborn? I have no choice but to obey. Who is the master?
Su Jiu stared at the road, slightly lost in thought. She thought of someone.
After the Weiyang Palace in the palace was flooded, she fell into a coma. She didn't know what state she was in at that time, and she didn't know that the unknown master had solved the problem that even Uncle Liuliu had troubled, and it took him a year.
Let her wake up, and it was only after she woke up that she realized that her third brother passed away not long after she fell into coma.
But she couldn't even go to the mausoleum to pay homage.
It was long after the two masters and servants left that Su Jiu came out of the rockery. She turned around and glanced subconsciously at the direction in which the two people left. They had long since disappeared. She was not in a good mood and wanted to cause trouble.
At this time, most of the people on the referee's bench had also left, with only a few staying overnight for unknown reasons.
Su Jiu jumped onto the roof with a slight leap.
A hint of amusement flashed in the almond eyes, and the fun began.
**
‘Button, button, button...’
There was a knock on the door.
In Luoyingyuan, Jie Chi opened the door and saw Tianji in a wheelchair. He frowned unconsciously, "Mr. Tianji doesn't seem to be doing well."
Tianji covered his lips and coughed lightly, his pale lips curved, "I still have the strength to play chess, Master Jie Chi, don't worry."
It’s not easy to persuade Jie Chi to hear what he said. After all, he’s already here, how can he drive others back?
"Counting the days, it has been a year since I last played chess."
Jie Chi took out the chessboard and placed it on the table.
Tianji chose Heizi and was helped by his subordinates to sit opposite Jie Chi.
"Yes, I haven't seen you for a year, and the abbot seems to be in a much better mood than last year." There were candles burning in the room, and when Tianji looked up, he could see at a glance that Jie Chi's face was red and his eyes were filled with smiles. He didn't know what happened recently.
What.
Naturally, it was because he could see Yinshuang for a few more days. According to previous years' experience, Su Jiu might not be able to come back until seven or eight days this time. How could he not be happy?
Jie Chi has obviously forgotten his name a long time ago.
"There has indeed been something happy recently." Tianji is a very good person at observing words and emotions. Jie Chi has already learned this from the very beginning, so why not tell the truth.
Tianji suddenly remembered yesterday's rumors, and for some reason he unconsciously wanted to ask more questions about the topic that should have been brushed aside.
"Is it because of that Miss Jiu?"
Jie Chi was stunned, but he didn't hide much. Although it was not entirely true, Yinshuang was brought by her after all. A reasonable inference is that it is indeed related to Su Jiu, but what happened to Tianji today? In the past, he was not
The one who plays chess most quietly and is not very interested in most things?
When Tianji saw Jie Chi nodded in recognition, he realized that he was being rude, subconsciously pursed his lips and said no more.
I don’t know how long it took, but the melodious bell rang, only once.
Jie Chi stopped playing chess and looked up out of the window, "The four alms are about to set off." The mountain behind Jingfa Temple is close to the sea, and there is a very rough road in the middle. People with weak Qinggong skills may have to pay a lot of effort.
With some effort and time for various preparations, it is safest to start the morning one hour in advance. After all, people on Penglai Island will not wait for you. If you are really late, then sorry, just wait until next year.
Tianji also raised his head and followed Jie Chi's gaze. For some reason, his mood fluctuated violently today, but even he himself didn't know the specific reason for the fluctuation.
"I wonder what they will experience this time?" Tianji murmured subconsciously.
People who went to Penglai Island in previous years did not come back with their legs and feet intact. Some had broken hands, some had no legs, and even worse, they never came back.
These are common, and most people subconsciously believe that the reason why these people have such results is probably because they did not follow the rules after entering the island and were punished by the immortals.
Jie Chi was really surprised, because Tianji had never shown the slightest interest in Penglai in the past years. He would always bring up this topic, and Tianji would let it pass with an indifferent expression.
Jie Chi put down the white chess piece and took advantage of others' danger with a smile. Although he didn't know why he behaved like this, it didn't prevent him from winning the chess piece at all!
"Tianji, you are confused."
Tianji was stunned, lowered his head and looked back at the chessboard. After looking at it for a while, a helpless smile appeared on his lips.
