Chapter 111: The Strange Return of Xianyun
Long Qi hadn't seen Lingxiang for these days and was feeling a little annoyed. He no longer had the pride he had in the past few days. He thought to himself, could it be that he was a little too hasty on the Lantern Festival? Was this little girl hiding from him?
Xinyi looked at Long Qi who was sighing from time to time, and immediately knew that this boy must be worried about Lingxiang again. He just smiled and patted his shoulder, turned around and went down the mountain to meet Guanchen - today was his turn to be on duty.
Staring at Xin Yi's figure going down the mountain, Long Qi's mind was in a state of confusion. If he hadn't listened to him, he would never have been so reckless. Now that the little girl had hidden herself, he didn't know where to find her.
When Rendong went out at this time, he saw Long Qi sighing on the stone bench under the tree, and his heart suddenly felt a little sad.
What Long Qi said that day was right. In terms of the time spent with Ling Xiang, Long Qi had the most experience, so he certainly had no advantage. However, judging from his attitude, it seemed that he didn't know much about Ling Xiang, while he had learned a lot from the old man with the bamboo stick. Although not everything, he knew more about the inside story than Long Qi.
Now that my body is in good shape, I might as well practice diligently. Who knows, one day I will be worthy of her, but...
But now the spiritual incense has disappeared, and I have no idea how to start. With my spiritual roots and aptitude, what can I do?
As they were stunned, they saw a cloud of dust flying around the gate, and soon they saw Lingxiang and Shoucheng emerging from the gray fog. As soon as they stood still, they saw Lingxiang rushing to the room that they had previously banned people from entering, and while running she said to Shoucheng:
"It's urgent, so I asked you to send me to the door. I can't wait any longer, so I'll find you later. You should go report to your master first."
Then he went into the house and closed the door, leaving the three people in the yard stunned.
Shoucheng was staring at Lingxiang as she disappeared like a cloud of dust. Before he could come to his senses, he saw Long Qi approaching him with a flattering smile on his face.
"Brother, you went down the mountain with my master recently. Can you tell us where you went so that we can follow your example and maybe improve our cultivation."
Improve your cultivation? How can plucking a blade of grass improve your cultivation?
"Uh..." Shoucheng stretched out his hand to hold back the approaching Long Qi, "She just went to the ancient bamboo forest with the young nun. As for what she did, I'm not quite sure." As he said that, he squatted down, grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it away, then he disappeared with a burrow into the earth.
Ancient bamboo forest? Ancient bamboo forest again. Why does this girl always go there for no reason?
Long Qi looked at Rendong in the corridor with a puzzled look on his face. Rendong smiled back at him, turned around and went into the house.
This ancient bamboo forest is so mysterious. If I have the chance in the future, I must visit it.
Lingxiang was so anxious for a reason. She wanted to make a weapon for Rendong.
In ancient times, many magical instruments and weapons were made by people with profound Taoism. For example, the Soul-Slaying Banner was just a spell in essence. Since others could do it, she could do it too.
After all, I am also in the third stage of foundation building, right?
When it comes to cultivation, Lingxiang seems to be very proud of herself and never belittles herself. This kind of self-confidence is something that ordinary people cannot match.
As for why it is so urgent, firstly, the spiritual energy of the Purple Leaf Golden Alocasia is easy to lose. The longer the delay, the more it will lose. Secondly, it takes time to make weapons and carefully polish them. Chanting talismans is a tedious matter and it will delay many things over time.
As soon as she entered the house, Lingxiang started rummaging through the drawers and cabinets looking for books.
She still remembered seeing a book when she was a child, which described how to make magical instruments such as the Golden Money Sword. She read it with great interest, but threw it aside after reading it. She never thought that she would actually use the content in the book today.
As soon as Long Qi got closer, he could hear the noise in the house. He was very curious. He had never seen Lingxiang enter this house before, so why did she think of going in today? And what he was most curious about was what was in this house that Lingxiang hid it so well and ordered them not to enter.
He knocked on the door and asked tentatively: "Lingxiang! Lingxiang! Are you in trouble? How about letting me come in and help you?"
"How dare you!" Just as he was about to push the door open, he heard Lingxiang shouting, "I'm busy lately, don't bother me, go and practice." Even though he was saying this, the noise in the room didn't stop. Long Qi was very puzzled, and he leaned forward to get a glimpse of what was going on inside the room, but the door suddenly opened, causing him to almost fall down. Fortunately, he managed to hold back his strength, but now his posture was a little strange...
Lingxiang Longqi and his two men were standing one inside and one outside, face to face, just a hair away from touching each other. In this situation, both of them were stunned, and they thought of the Lantern Festival at the same time.
Both of their faces flushed red, and they did not move for a moment, as if time had stood still. Even the chirping of the birds could not enter their ears.
Just when Long Qi was thinking about whether to go further, Lingxiang suddenly pushed him. His mind was blank to begin with, and he lost his balance and rolled down the stairs.
"You...you...what are you doing!" Lingxiang's cheeks flushed and she kept twisting the book she had just found in her hands.
Long Qi stood up hastily, his face also flushed: "I...I...I just want to take a look, you have to help."
Lingxiang hurriedly turned around and ran towards her room. Just as she was about to push the door open, she said without looking back: "Master...Master...Master has something to do these days. You just stay quiet for a few days...I will take you to practice later!" After that, she pushed the door open and walked in, leaving Long Qi standing there in a daze.
Seeing Lingxiang closing the door, Long Qi regretted why he didn't move forward earlier so that he could kiss Lingxiang. When he thought of Lingxiang's soft little mouth, he immediately became distracted.
……
The lake was sparkling, and river lanterns floated across the lake, drifting with the waves. The hawking and singing of the lakeside were endless, but it did not affect the two people under the tree at all. These two people were Long Qi and Ling Xiang.
The old tree was covered with red ropes and ribbons tied by infatuated men and women to make wishes. At this moment, a breeze blew by, and the ribbons fluttered. I didn't know which couple tied it, but it was not tied tightly, and it floated away with the wind.
Lingxiang under the tree looked like a drunk, with a flushed face as if she had put on rouge, and she kept biting her lips. Long Qi, who was watching from the side, was very happy.
Seeing the beauty in front of him, Long Qi couldn't help but bend down and move closer, but Ling Xiang shyly hid back and said in a whimpering voice:
"There are outsiders around, Seventh Brother, please don't be like this..."
The sound was so sweet that it made Long Qi feel itchy. He hugged Lingxiang into his arms and said in a deep voice: "There is no one else. Even if there is someone, don't be afraid, I am here!"
As he said this, he lowered his head and was about to kiss Lingxiang's tempting little mouth.
But just when it was about to be pasted, there was a "clang" sound...
……
There was a sound of "clang". Lingxiang was in a hurry to go back to the house, but she did not close the door that did not allow Long Qi and the other two to enter. A gust of wind blew and opened half of the door.
Hearing the sound, Long Qi suddenly came back to his senses, looking at the door that had not been completely closed thoughtfully: He was not trying to peek into the house, it was just that Lingxiang forgot to close the door, and he just closed the door for her, so he had to see what was in the house...
Thinking of this, Long Qi tiptoed into the house, only to see that the house was in a mess, with the floor, table and bed full of books.
It's just a book, there's nothing shameful about it.
Long Qi was puzzled and picked up a book at random, only to see the words "Hehuan Secret Play" written on the cover!
