The sleeping Jian You was like a kitten, curled up tightly in the pink quilt, unconsciously retreating to the corner against the wall, her brows furrowed slightly, restlessness intertwined on her pale face, as if it was flowing in the air.
Dark clouds in the sky. Welcome to readingwww【New】[~]
This was the first time Wu Ma Xi clearly felt her weakness.
Even when she sat in front of the room and cried to Ye Yu that day, it didn't touch Wu Ma Xi too much. But this time, looking at her slightly trembling eyelashes, Wu Ma Xi's heart seemed to be lightening.
Trembling slightly.
Thinking of protecting her in the forest, the relationship between the two seemed different from before.
Just like the contact with Tai Yin back then, it was originally a scam, but the feelings grew and spread inexplicably. Between himself and Jian You, just like in Xiqu, the feelings sneaked in with the wind and accumulated unknowingly.
Unknowingly, I really have an extra cousin?
Wu Ma Xi still felt a little confused.
Shi Qinglan once said that to approach a situation, you must first understand your mind. The way to understand your mind lies in asking questions step by step and exploring at all times.
The last question Jing Zu asked Yu Zhi'ao was also to clarify his distracting thoughts and get straight to his true heart.
However, Wu Ma Xi subconsciously did not want to think deeply, burying all kinds of emotions and confusion in her heart, and slowly exited Jian You's room.
Shi Muting was sitting weakly on a soft chair in the living room, like a beautiful snake with its bones removed.
Wu Maxi walked over, sat down next to him, and said, "Did you simulate the fluctuations of the moon bracelet?"
Shi Muting nodded helplessly and said with a wry smile: "When your little cousin wakes up, she will definitely fight with me." She set the bait to find Jian You, but Jian You's grandfather died tragically. After Jian You knew the truth
, I’m afraid it’s hard to let go, and with Jian You’s intelligence, I’m afraid I can guess the reason just by thinking about it.
Wu Ma Xi was also helpless and said, "Can you tell me in detail the situation at that time?"
"What's there to say? I put out the bait, but somehow the two of them collided first." Shi Muting's tone was a little bitter, and he looked at Wu Ma Xi helplessly, "I'm almost annoyed to death, but it's okay.
Not my biological grandfather."
Wu Maxi said: "Emotions are not maintained by blood ties." From Jian You's cry, it can be clearly heard that the relationship between her and her grandfather is much closer than some so-called biological grandparents.
Shi Muting looked at Wu Maxi pitifully and said coquettishly: "Little brother, you have to protect me this time."
Wu Maxi frowned and said: "I don't have that much influence on her. [ ]( ·~ )"
Shi Muting said: "That's not necessarily true. You should know her identity?"
Wu Ma Xi nodded.
"Look, she is even willing to tell you her identity. This is not as simple as a cousin!"
Wu Ma Xi smiled bitterly and shook his head. Jian You's identity was guessed by Wu Ma Xi, but Jian You himself had never revealed a word.
Shi Muting sighed, his face became sad, and then he started to digress: "The Jian family, who has infinite fame, has become so depressed that even the princess is like a bereaved dog."
Wu Maxi also sighed, feeling that time was ruthless.
Since the Wanliu Era, Jingxiu has risen and imperial power has declined. The secular royal family is no different from ants in the eyes of Jingxiu.
However, the Jian family is the only exception.
Jian was not only the emperor of the secular world, but also the emperor of the realm of realm cultivators. During his nearly thousand years of rule, even the powerful realm cultivators must look up to them and respect them as the lords of the Central Plains.
They are truly noble royal family.
At first, when Wu Maxi guessed that the female thief who robbed her was actually a descendant of the great emperor Jian Shuangcheng, she couldn't believe it for a long time. Until she later found information about the Jian family's palace and discovered that there was a palace called Yuezhao Youlin Palace.
Only then did he have to accept the fact: the one who robbed him was really the princess.
Fortunately, Wu Ma Xi has only been active in the southwest and has little contact with people, so although he is aware of the nobility of the Jian family, he has no psychological feelings. If it were someone who has lived in the Central Plains for many years, he would be influenced by it.
Under this situation, I definitely don't have this kind of attitude towards Jian You's status as a princess, either with awe like a slave, or with blasphemy like a thug, or something else, but I definitely won't be like Wu Ma Xi, who has such a psychological attitude towards this.
The noble status is completely ignored, and only the use value is carefully calculated.
The thousand-year-old royal family has been in such a state of decline that even Wu Ma Xi, who is so indifferent, has to lament.
He looked at Shi Muting and said, "What is your relationship with their family?"
"I am the master of the Wild Fox House of this generation, have you heard of me?" Shi Muting said.
"Is this the Master of the Wild Fox Village who wrote "Travel Notes on Mountains and Seas"?" When Wu Maxi heard Shi Muting mention the Master of the Wild Fox Village, he immediately remembered that when he was underground, Feng Qingxu told him before his death that the Master of the Wild Fox Village was the master of the Wild Fox Village.
In his "Travel Notes on Mountains and Seas", there are records of eight-legged species.
"Do you know this?" Shi Muting rolled his eyes at him, "The author of "Travel Notes on Mountains and Seas" is our ancestor Shi Qinglan, who is the first generation owner of Yehu Zhai. Now you should know the relationship between me and Youyou
Is it related?"
This logic was a bit off-kilter, and Wu Maxi couldn't follow it, so she answered honestly: "It's not very clear.[][]"
"The ancestor's family had a younger brother named Shi Xiaoyue, who later became the concubine of Jian Shuang City. The moon bracelet was one of the dowries given to her by the ancestor." Shi Muting glanced at Wu Ma Xi with a narrow look, then restrained himself and continued to be patient.
Explained, "This Concubine Yue was so beautiful and elegant that she was loved by Jianshuang City, and a Yuezhao Youlin Palace was specially built for her. Concubine Yue gave birth to King Qi, who later succeeded him. Youyou is the queen of King Qi.
, after the Jian family fell into decline, our Yehuzhai became her natal family."
Hearing this story, Wu Maxi felt a little disappointed. It was said that Shi Qinglan and Jian Shuangcheng were a couple, so why did they suddenly become mother-in-law and son-in-law?
"Little brother, what are you thinking about?" Shi Muting looked at Wu Maxi and smiled coquettishly.
"Nothing." Wu Ma Xi replied calmly. After all, Jian Shuangcheng and Shi Qinglan were ancients from thousands of years ago. It's not worth worrying about the ancients. It's better to ask today's people, "Youyou has been living outside for so long, why are you here now?"
Looking for her?"
"We just got the news." Shi Muting said in a helpless tone, "Since they went to sea as a family, the contact between us has been broken. Last month, Ge Sihong, the dean of Baixiangjing Academy, came to visit unexpectedly.
It was said that the Lord of the Palace of Youlin was probably in the northwest, and there was a sect called Blood Sacrifice. Some decent people brought things like shadow mirrors to chase her. As soon as I got the news, I rushed over and simulated waves to catch a few Blood Sacrifice.
Jingxiu, I have a little understanding of the situation, and I know that Youyou disappeared in this area. I was planning to catch a few more today, or to lure Youyou out, but unexpectedly this kind of accident happened."
Wu Maxi wondered: "How did Ge Sihong know the news about Jian You?"
Shi Muting rolled his eyes at him and said, "How do I know?"
"Didn't you ask?"
"I went out as soon as I got the news. How can I have time?"
Wu Maxi was speechless. No matter how anxious you were, how could you miss two minutes?
Then he thought that the time when Ge Sihong got the news was so coincidental. Could it be that the Ji Xiuwen Ling Shile mentioned was his? Wu Maxi compared the clues he had obtained and found that this possibility was quite high.
.
With the current information, it was definitely impossible to deduce the result. Wu Ma Xi gave up this unnecessary speculation and thought of another question, and said to Shi Muting: "Did your ancestor Shi Qinglan come from Qingqiu?"
?”
"How do you know?" Shi Muting looked at him strangely, making Wu Ma Xi feel uncomfortable. "Although we at Yehuzhai did not deliberately hide it, there are probably very few people who know about this matter. How do you do it?"
Maybe you know?"
Wu Maxi said: "This Zuoyuan Town is the last ruins of Qingqiu. I got a fragment of a fox shadow here. It is said to be one of the inheritance of Qingqiu. After comparing it with the faint fox shadow of Qingqiu..."
"Did she pass on all the fox shadows in Qingqiu to you?" Shi Muting stood up in surprise.
Wu Maxi didn't dare to tell her that she had stolen it, so she could only smile awkwardly.
Seeing his awkward smile, Shi Muting seemed to realize something and smiled tacitly at him.
Wu Maxi felt ashamed and her face turned slightly red.
These two people are very much in sync with each other, and their expressions match up so well.
"Isn't that right?" Shi Muting suddenly became confused, "According to our ancestors, her adaptation of Fox Shadow was so great that you can compare it with just a fragment of the picture?"
Wu Ma Xi casually made up a lie and said: "There are some records about the demise of Qingqiu Liu on the residual map. It is said that a younger brother named Shi broke away from the evil spirit of the fox shadow and became an immortal, which led to Qingqiu Liu."
of destruction.”
This lie is 90% true and 10% false. It is difficult to distinguish between ghosts and gods, not to mention witches. Shi Muting really believed it, and with a rather proud look on his face, he said: "Qingqiu is a thousand-year-old yin-point, and only the ancestors can come out of it."
Silt but not stained."
Wu Ma Xi was too lazy to listen to her boasting, and then asked: "There is an artistic conception in Qingqiu called Peach Blossom, do you know?"
"I've heard of it, what, have you learned it?" Shi Muting's eyes were bright, obviously waiting to watch the fun.
"I didn't, but there was a girl who learned it." Wu Ma Xi was not affected by her emotions. "Your ancestors once escaped from the fox shadow's evil spirit. Do you have any experience in this regard that has been handed down?"
Shi Muting suddenly became depressed and said, "I thought I was going to see a lively show, but I didn't expect it to be another human tragedy."
Wu Maxi felt depressed. Why should it be fun if it happened to him, but it would be a tragedy if it happened to others? He was too lazy to be serious with her and asked, "Is there no way?"
"Do you think it's that easy? Only a few people with astonishing talents like our ancestors appear in a thousand years?" No matter how angry he was, Shi Muting did not forget to brag about his ancestors, "Besides, it took a lot of effort for our ancestors to succeed.
It cost a lot. It is said that the ancestor's first two promotions were all 0%. In fact, that is not the case. The ancestor's first two promotions were both above 80%, but she cut off the branches herself, because if the number of branches reached seventeen
, she will be forced to practice Tao Zhi Yao. According to the ancestors, if she is infected with Tao Zhi Yao, she is also likely to perish. The peach blossom you mentioned is a simplified version of Tao Zhi Yao, although it is not as powerful as Peach Blossom.
Yaoyao, but the demonic nature is of the same origin, so the difference won’t be too big.”
When Wu Maxi heard this, she also felt sad for Wen Yuxin.
After listening to Shi Muting's description, Wu Maxi knew that the Evening Bell could only suppress the peach blossoms and would not be able to cure it.
"Where is the girl you mentioned? If you have time, take me to see her. I am practicing Taozhi Yaoyao after the adaptation. It may be of some help to her." Shi Muting showed a rare compassionate heart, "The ancestors were gentle, but
The only way to kill Qingqiu is because this sect is really evil. To practice peach blossom, this girl has a hard time."
Wu Maxi didn't want a beautiful girl to perish in the end, but she could only depend on her destiny. She was her first destiny, and Shi Muting might be her second destiny. He stood up and said: "Follow me.
." After that, he led Shi Muting to the basement.
Knocked on the door, no response, knocked again, knocked three times...
There was no response from behind the door. Wu Ma Xi was worried that something had happened inside, so she opened the door and rushed in. However, she saw that the room was empty and no one was around. There was a note on the table. Wu Ma Xi picked it up and looked at it, only to see the top
What it says is: We meet as brothers, and my younger sister goes to join my grandfather's old friend. We say farewell on paper, so don't be surprised. I will never forget the grace of saving my life until I die. My younger sister, Wen Yuxin.
What kind of farewell is written on paper is clearly a sign of escape!
Wu Maxi was so depressed that she thought she would stay peacefully, but she didn't expect the light to come and she couldn't wait to run away.
It had only been a few hours since dinner, so she definitely couldn't run far, but it was dark and windy outside, and she was looking for someone all over the world. Wu Maxi really didn't have the confidence, so she could only let him fly away.
Shi Muting took the note from his hand and looked at it, then threw the note on the table, sighed and said: "It's good to go, we have a place to stay tonight. Brother Ju, please close the door when you go out.
"
Wu Maxi didn't respond at all to her teasing, and went out expressionlessly. As soon as she closed the door, a thought suddenly came to her mind: Should I run away too?
He could live in peace in the past because he felt that Jian You had no military advantage over him. Now that Shi Muting appeared, he was afraid that he could be slapped to death casually. Even with the moon bracelet in his hand, he felt a little unsure.
But after thinking about it for a while, I felt that it was not necessary.
Jian You and Shi Muting have the estrangement caused by Jian You's grandfather. It is estimated that there will be a cold war for a long time, and it is impossible to form dialogue and alliance. As long as they can wait until February 10th and return to the southwest, they will be beyond their reach.
And deep down in his heart, he felt a faint resistance to leaving.
It's like when he first met Feng Qingxu at Tai Zhai, he was unwilling to lie.
