Chapter 379 You can, so can I!
In the bamboo house in the forest, the vines swayed gently on the side of Zhou Ji with the breeze, like a gentle caress, and the two cuddled each other, enjoying a moment of tenderness.
"Xu Fengnian~!"
"Xu Fengnian!"
Calls of deja vu came from outside the courtyard. A thin and petite figure was carrying a huge package spliced with two sheets, like a snail slowly crawling from the small courtyard down the mountain to the bamboo house deep in the bamboo forest.
The bamboo house arranged by Wudang for Zhou Ji was on a hillside outside the purple bamboo forest. Jiang Ni stood there panting, looked back at the empty courtyard under the slope, and looked up again. Glancing at the smoldering smoke in the depths of the bamboo forest, he gritted his teeth, continued to carry the burden, and walked up the **** step by step.
It's here, it's finally here.
Seeing that the bamboo building was in front of him, Jiang Ni started calling Xu Fengnian's name before entering the hospital, complaining: "Xu Fengnian, you bastard, you go to Wudang without bringing anything, and I have to bring it to you in the end."
"What did you send?"
Hearing someone reply, Jiang Ni replied subconsciously, "Change and wash clothes, pen, ink, paper and inkstone"
While speaking, Jiang Ni noticed that her voice was wrong, and looked up, the burden taller than her fell to the ground with a thud, but she was stuck in the same place as a lazy sofa standing up because the burden was too big.
"Hiss~~"
Zhou Ji could clearly see that Jiang Ni's eyes were wide open, his pupils contracted and then vibrated violently, he couldn't help laughing, and touched the vine with his fingertips, strands of vines shrank from the side of his face, turning into a delicate plant swaying in the wind again. vine.
Jiang Ni shook his head, and looked at the enchanting and graceful vines in the flowerpot with horror on his face, as if he saw a terrifying existence that snapped its teeth and claws to bite people, and tears were about to come down when he saw it.
Seeing Jiang Ni's frightened appearance, Zhou Ji's eyes showed soft light, he stroked the vine with his fingertips, and comforted him in a soft voice: "Don't be afraid, my wife doesn't eat people."
‘Don’t eat people? These words sound like consolation, why do you always feel that something is wrong? '
Jiang Ni’s heart was full of disbelief, but she said submissively, “That’s good, that’s good”
Zhou Ji shook his head, stopped teasing the little girl, and said with a smile, "Look at you, you have traveled a long distance with big bags and small bags, are you here to find Xu Fengnian? He lives in that small courtyard under the slope, how did you find it here?" coming?"
Mentioning Xu Fengnian, Jiang Ni gradually calmed down, turned her head to look at the small courtyard of the wooden house that was faintly visible downhill from the bamboo forest, and nodded weakly, "I just passed by there, and there was no one in the house, and the stove was useless. Thought he moved here."
"He lives there by himself, and it's a place for him to sleep. He usually eats in Guanli for fasting, or comes to my place to eat and drink. It's normal to have no trace of life."
Speaking of this, Zhou Ji suddenly said, "By the way, he just went to the purple bamboo forest behind to look for Huang Man'er. If you are in a hurry, put the burden here first, and I will take you to the mountains to find him?"
Jiang Ni took half a step back, shaking her head like a rattle, carrying a burden that was a bit taller than her, and said quickly, "No, I'll go back to him and wait for him, and I can clean up the yard by the way."
"Then I." Zhou Ji wanted to say to help her send the burden down, but before he finished speaking, Jiang Ni replied firmly, "I can". Panting and struggling to walk.
"This girl's qualifications are good! She's no worse than Xu Fengnian." Zhou Ji held a flowerpot in one hand and played with stone beads in the other hand, looking at Jiang Ni'rolling' down the mountain, showing a look of admiration and admiration.
On the other side, Huang Man'er held the chicken leg wrapped in lotus leaves in his hand, looked at the chicken leg wrapped in bamboo leaves in Xu Fengnian's hand, and showed a simple and innocent smile, "Brother, eat it, I specially reserved it for you~ "
"Thank you Huang Man'er, my Huang Man'er has really grown up." Xu Fengnian raised the chicken leg and touched the one in Huang Man'er's hand, and said with a smile, "You can eat it too, I specially reserved it for you .”
The two met each other with a smile after eating, Xu Fengnian stood up, threw the bone in his hand far away, and then lay down on the boulder behind him, looking at the clear sky in front of him, he said with emotion, "Suddenly it feels good to stay in Wudang Yes, it's not like staying in Beiliang, where you have to worry all day long and try to figure out people's hearts."
"Brother, Taoist Mu Jian and Wang Chonglou have treated me very well." Xu Longxiang comforted me, hearing the tiredness in Xu Fengnian's words.
"Do you like it here?" Xu Fengnian sat up and said to Xu Longxiang.
Xu Longxiang nodded.
Xu Fengnian was silent for a moment, then laughed again, "Why don't we just stay here and ignore the troubles in the world?"
Xu Longxiang lowered his head, his expression became hesitant.
"You don't want to?" Xu Fengnian asked doubtfully.
Xu Longxiang said disappointedly, "Brother is going to leave, father said, we can't live without you."
"Elder sister and second sister are not here, you have to go, what's the point of me going back alone?" Xu Fengnian sighed, "Is that still a home?"
In the past few days, whenever I mentioned going back, this result always came out.
Xu Fengnian understood that although Huang Man'er seemed to be mentally undeveloped, he was actually not stupid. He knew some things, and it was precisely because he knew that he persisted.
In the past, Xu Fengnian could tell Huang Man'er firmly that he would stay here and would not let anyone take Huang Man'er away.
But now, Xu Fengnian has been influenced by Zhou Ji's remarks, and from a moment of high-mindedness, he has gradually begun to face himself.
If you want to play chess with others, you must first have enough chess pieces. There are 361 chess pieces in total. If you only have one chess piece, how can you play chess with others?
Zhou Ji had already told him the answer.
It's not a self-defeating travel, it's not a temper tantrum in front of Xu Xiao.
If you don’t want to be Xu Xiao, then be Wang Xianzhi, the chess piece that overturns the chessboard.
Leaving the purple bamboo forest, Xu Fengnian walked all the way to the bamboo house, and came to Zhou Ji again to complain.
"I asked Lao Kui before, and he said that I was born with the material to practice swordsmanship, but the swordsmanship can be practiced, but the inner strength can only be accumulated over time. At my current age, I only started to practice. Second-rate masters are my limit. I'm afraid I won't be able to be Wang Xianzhi in this life."
Xu Fengnian sighed with melancholy, seeing that Zhou Ji ignored him, he took the initiative to pour a cup of tea, looked around at the potted plants on the table, and praised, "It seems that this Si Teng plant is stronger than when we saw it outside Lingzhou City. Quite a lot~"
As soon as Xu Fengnian gave a thumbs up, Zhou Ji sprayed tea all over his face. Zhou Ji choked a few times, hugged the flowerpot to his side, and put it on the other side. Looking at Xu Fengnian who looked aggrieved, he held his forehead and smiled wryly. Rubbing between his eyebrows, he said, "What exactly do you want to say?"
Xu Fengnian smiled, and approached him expectantly and said, "Do you have any quick way to invigorate your infuriating energy? It's the kind that makes people become very powerful all at once?"
Sedum that was forced into a ball by Mo Zunlou suddenly appeared in Zhou Ji's mind. He couldn't help laughing, and waved his hands, "No, no."
"No, you said before that you and Wang Xianzhi are 100% apart. If there is no quick way to gain true energy, how did you do it?" Xu Fengnian narrowed his eyes, and instantly activated the "great wisdom" strategy analysis mode.
Zhou Ji grasped the stone bead and raised a finger. Xu Fengnian stared at the finger in surprise, Zhou Ji smiled, "I remember I told you that a thousand years of cultivation is enough."
"Cut~ I don't want to tell me that I practice by myself." Xu Fengnian shook his hand, curled his lips and said, "Seeing that you are not a few years older than me, if you can do it, I'm sure I can too."
Tsk~tsk~tsk~~Zhou Ji smiled, but shook his head and remained silent until he saw that Xu Fengnian was leaving, so he stopped him, "I forgot to tell you, Jiang Ni is here, carrying a particularly exaggerated Baggage, found me here."
"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Hearing Jiang Ni, Xu Fengnian's eyes lit up, his boredom disappeared, and he said anxiously.
Zhou Ji put down his arm, which was the size of a bundle, and smiled, "It's rare to see you so attentive. I want to see what kind of medicine you're selling in your gourd."
Xu Fengnian didn't bother to worry about these things, he glanced left and right, and quickly asked, "What about her?"
"I'm back to your place." Zhou Ji said with a smile.
Xu Fengnian took his leave after hearing the words and left. With a tap of his toes, he swept down the hillside like a thunderbolt.
is the so-called reciprocity.
Ginger Ni is here, the food at Xu Fengnian will definitely improve a lot.
Early the next morning, after collecting morning dew for Si Teng, Zhou Ji saw the curling green smoke rising from the small courtyard down the slope. Based on the principle of 'never lose money', he went directly down the mountain with a flower pot to eat.
As a result, as soon as he entered the yard, Zhou Ji saw Xu Fengnian who was busy in front of the stove, his eyebrows jumped, and there was a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes. It turned out that this guy didn't know how to cook, but was alone I'm too lazy to cook, so I come to his place to eat and drink.
Seeing Zhou Ji's arrival, Xu Fengnian was also somewhat surprised. He put the cooked porridge and a few dishes of side dishes on the table, and said regretfully, "It's a pity that there is still nothing meaty."
Zhou Ji sat down unceremoniously, put his right hand into his sleeve as if he was looking for something, took out a box of luncheon meat from the square table, and motioned, "Hey, I don't have much in stock, I will replenish the stock next time." I don’t know if we have to wait for the Year of the Monkey, so let’s make do with it.”
Xu Fengnian showed joy, pulled out Chunlei and carefully pried open the can, cut the luncheon meat into pieces, and added a dish.
"If Nangong girl knows that you use her knife to do such a thing, she will definitely not borrow it from you next time." Seeing Xu Fengnian's actions, Zhou Ji couldn't help laughing.
Looking across the corner of the house, I saw Jiang Ni sleeping on the window sill supporting Xiudong, and immediately understood why Xu Fengnian was cooking this morning.
Xu Fengnian noticed Zhou Ji's gaze, turned to look at Jiang Ni, and said softly, "She carried such a heavy package up the mountain yesterday and had to clean up the house. She must be exhausted."
"Then why don't you put her on the bed?" Zhou Ji asked curiously.
Xu Fengnian showed pity, "This girl is so proud, her shoulders and back are all torn, and she is only willing to sleep like this one night leaning against the window."
While speaking, Xiudong slipped and Jiang Ni woke up.
Glancing at the long knife beside him, Jiang Ni was slightly taken aback, then came to his senses, got up and searched for the cloth bag containing the green salt brush, and when he saw Zhou Ji, he quickened his pace a little, and ran out the door to the courtyard wash up.
After a while, Jiang Ni returned to the house thoughtfully, looked at the flower pot beside Zhou Ji, and forgot to be afraid for a while.
Zhou Ji glanced at the honest Si Teng, then raised his eyes to Jiang Ni, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Ni put down the bowl and chopsticks and asked, "Are there rapeseed and melon seedlings here?"
"You want to grow vegetables in the yard?" Zhou Jiwen said with a smile.
Ginger mud is silent.
"Let's eat first." Xu Fengnian took a few mouthfuls of rice, picked up a piece of luncheon meat and put it in a **** mud bowl: "I'll ask Hong Xixiang for you later, there is a vegetable garden on Wudang Mountain, so it shouldn't be a problem to find some rapeseed and melon seedlings .”
After breakfast, Xu Fengnian took Jiang Ni to find Hong Xixiang, and Zhou Ji followed them to the vegetable garden to beg for rapeseed when he had nothing to do. After sowing and watering, after a few days of busy work, a small vegetable garden appeared in Xu Fengnian's yard.
From the beginning to the end, Jiang Ni never asked others to help her. Since she was a child, she had nothing belonging to her except the talisman in her hand representing the token of the Chu royal family.
This piece of vegetable garden that she cultivated by herself made her feel extra cherished in a trance. Watching the seedlings grow gradually, the seeds sprouted, and the melon seedlings climbing on the shelf produced melon stalks, she was especially satisfied.
It has been almost two months since I went up the mountain. Lao Kui left Wudang a month ago because the two-month appointment with Xu Fengnian was too early. Zhou Ji felt that the abundant energy of heaven and earth on Wudang Mountain would help Si Teng practice, so he stayed for a while. on the hill.
On this day, Zhao Xituan from Longhu Mountain personally led a group of disciples to break into Wudang Mountain Gate with great fanfare, but instead of visiting the mountain, he went all the way to the small courtyard under the **** of Zizhu Forest.
All of a sudden, everyone in Wudang was suspicious and panicked. Only the sect leader Wang Chonglou and his younger brother Hong Xixiang didn't care. Regardless of the whereabouts of dragons and tigers.
Seeing the orderly queue down the slope, with sedan chairs and guards of honor, making it full of ostentation, Zhou Ji came down from the hillside, squeezed through the crowd, looked at the few people confronting each other in the courtyard and said with a smile, "Is this a visitor? It's so lively? "
Xu Fengnian pulled Zhou Ji aside, the kindness who was smiling all over his face suddenly became gloomy, snorted coldly, and said disdainfully, "How can the villain not be lively when the villain comes to the door?"
Just now, it was "Master Zhao came in person" and "Don't dare to neglect the Master" in a blink of an eye, and it turned into "evil guest deceives the master".
Is it because of this young man who doesn't look like he has a cultivation level of eighth or ninth rank?
The cultivation base of the lower third rank is not considered as cultivation base at all, it can only be said to be an ordinary person who can learn martial arts. Zhao Xituan glanced at Zhou Ji, and he was holding a flower pot in one hand and playing with the plate in the other. Shizhu stayed on it for a moment, then looked at Xu Fengnian, still maintaining his self-restraint as a celestial master, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, I'm just joking, I don't know where Xu Longxiang is now?"
Xu Fengnian didn't know that his "whispering words" could not hide the perception of the Finger Profound Realm, so he performed a "face changing" for Zhao Xituan again, smiling all over his face.
"I'm going to find him right now, the Heavenly Master will go in and have a cup of hot tea first."
