Chapter 7 Down the Mountain
The third update.
***************************************************
After the New Year, young disciples who went down the mountain to experience their experience left Shouyang Mountain one after another.
Xuan Ji Linglong and the others also left on the third day. There is no regulation on where they want to go, but it is a decisive rule that they are not allowed to return to the Shaoyang Sect during the year.
The three of them stayed in the inn at the foot of the mountain for one night and discussed the itinerary to take in the future.
"Why don't we go to Fuyu Island first?" Linglong was very excited. She had no sense of going down the mountain to experience it. She just thought it was going out for an outing.
Zhong Minyan had just finished practicing a set of Yaohua sword technique, and sweat beads dripped on her hair. She came over to look at the map she drew, shook her head and said, "Don't go. We are not here to play. Why not set the direction we want to go first and find out where there are demons and evil people who are serious."
Linglong played with the braid hanging on her chest and then, pouting, "But they want to see Uncle Dongfang! Besides, Xuan Ji didn't see Uncle Dongfang's wife last time, and they agreed that we would go to play when we have time! Xuan Ji, you want to go, right?"
She quickly formed an alliance.
Xuan Ji looked at the map, studied it for a while, and said, "Fuyu Island is in the east. If we go there with swords, it will take only half a day. I have an idea. Along the way, we might as well give up swords and walk with our feet. This way, we will have to have several months on the way, and we might be able to find out about the rebellion of demons and evil people."
Linglong was startled and said anxiously: "How can this be done! Walk with your feet... When will you go? If there is no inn and no place to take a bath on the road... I will be so dirty that I don't want it! Xiao Liuzi~~~ You said it!"
She ran to pull Zhong Minyan into an alliance again.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Minyan didn't help her. She pondered for a while and nodded, "Xuan Ji has a good idea, just do it like this. She just needs to cross the sea and fly up with the sword at that time. Let's go slowly where there is land. This is the experience, Linglong."
"..." Linglong saw that no one helped her, so she had to remain silent. Finally, she was angry and refused to have supper and returned to the guest room by herself.
"Sixth Brother, my sister's temper comes and goes quickly. It's not good to hold it alone. You go and persuade her."
Xuan Ji poured a cup of tea himself, and while adding the place name Linglong had not written on the map, she said.
Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, no one spoke. She looked up in surprise, but saw Zhong Minyan looking at her. She was stunned, "What's wrong?"
Zhong Minyan smiled and said, "No, I think... in fact, you have indeed changed a lot, Xuan Ji."
Xuan Ji subconsciously touched her face and said strangely: "I... will definitely change when I grow up."
She thought Zhong Minyan said that her appearance had changed a lot.
Zhong Minyan shook his head and said lightly: "It's not about this. Your previous headache-inducing temper seems to have been much more restrained, and it seems that there are more things you can do. It seems that Uncle Master has taught you a lot."
Xuan Ji didn't say anything, looked down at the map being drawn, as if he suddenly realized that he was right. He seemed to have learned a lot of things inadvertently. He didn't understand what it was for memorizing the map before, but now he realized that it can come in handy.
Zhong Minyan said slowly: "I still remember the last time we went to Lutai Mountain to catch monsters together. You looked embarrassed at that time. Even Si Feng had a headache..."
Speaking of Si Feng, both of them were a little silent.
After a while, Xuan Ji asked carefully: "Sixth Brother... have you ever contacted Si Feng in the past few years?"
Zhong Minyan was stunned and suddenly said, "No...whether you are? I remember Si Feng reminded Linglong many times and wrote a letter to him after healing your injury. Have you written it?"
Xuan Ji's face suddenly became bitter. After a long time, she whispered: "I... forgot."
"Why did you forget?!" Zhong Minyan jumped up, finally unable to hold back her gentleness, revealing her true character, "What a pig's head!"
"I went to Xiaoyangfeng and remembered that I forgot to ask Linglong how to write a letter to Si Feng..." Xuan Ji held her chin and was helpless, "Later, I was busy learning this and that with my master, so I forgot."
"I can't count on you in anything! Forget it, I'll go up! I'll save you from being angry to death!"
Zhong Minyan turned around and left.
"Wait..." Xuan Ji called him, "Then... you can ask Linglong now!"
Zhong Minyan turned around and smiled sarcastically: "It's been four years, how could she still remember it. You sisters..." He pointed to his head, "It's about the same virtue."
Why didn't he contact Si Feng himself? Xuan Ji was very depressed. This was probably what the master said to take off his anger. Zhong Minyan always did this. Anyway, he was wrong, and Mr. Zhong was right.
She lowered her head and finished the map, and felt a little tired, so she went upstairs to rest on her own.
When she saw Linglong the next day, she was indeed as if nothing had happened. I think Zhong Minyan comforted her very well yesterday. Her eldest lady smiled like a flower in the morning, called them breakfast for the first time, and waited downstairs.
Seeing Xuan Ji go downstairs, she quickly waved: "Xuan Ji! Here and here! Let's go after breakfast?"
Xuan Ji took out the map from his arms, looked at it, and said, "If we go east, we must cross the Posu River first. There should be a town after crossing the river. Let's see what's going on there."
"Okay! I'll listen to you." Linglong smiled sweetly, and she was incomparable to yesterday.
Zhong Minyan was really capable. She looked up at him, but he pretended not to know, lowered his head and tried to drink soy milk, but he choked and coughed desperately.
"Look at you, I'm not honest in my meals." Linglong quickly patted him, as if he was a good wife and mother.
Before Zhong Minyan's coughing could be stopped, he suddenly saw two or three men wearing straw raincoats walking outside the inn. One of them walked to the shopkeeper and asked, "How many days will it take to go from here to Shouyang Mountain?"
The three of them heard their accent, as if they were from other places, and they couldn't help but look there.
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "The guest official is going to Shouyang Mountain! Not far away, follow the road behind the town. After about two or three days, you will see the gate of the Shaoyang Sect. I dare to ask the guest official, but what kind of demons are causing trouble in Guixiang, so I came to ask the immortals in Shaoyang to eliminate the monsters?"
The man sighed and shook his head repeatedly: "Yes. We are from Wangxian Town in the east. A few days ago, the town was haunted. In the middle of the night, we heard ghosts crying and howling, which scared everyone to go out. After more than three months of trouble, the elderly, weak, women and children in the town died of illness. We really couldn't continue like this. Later, a Taoist priest from Yunyou said that the Shaoyang Sect in Shouyang Mountain is a famous place for immortal cultivation, so we came to invite immortals to exorcise ghosts."
The shopkeeper heard this and pondered: "Well, I have never heard that the yin and yang are eternal, and ghosts and gods are not common. If it is caused by demons, the immortals on the mountain are good at it. If it comes to exorcising ghosts, I'm afraid..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a crisp voice behind him saying, "Those uncles, we are willing to exorcise ghosts for your town! Please come here and have a talk."
Everyone hurriedly looked at it, but saw three young men and women sitting in the lobby, with handsome eyebrows and good temperament, which were Xuan Ji and the others.
It turned out that Xuan Ji heard that it was Wangxian Town. She checked the map and was in the east, which was the same as their itinerary. Linglong was a lively person. He heard that he wanted to exorcise ghosts, so he quickly called him and others over.
Seeing that they were wearing swords on their waists, they must have been Taoists, so they hurried over and sang and reported their names to each other. It turned out that the three of them were brothers, and their surnames were Zhao.
Zhong Minyan clasped his fists and said, "We are disciples of the Shaoyang Sect who went down the mountain to practice. I also asked Uncle Zhao to explain the haunted situation in detail. If we can help, we will naturally do our best."
The old man Zhao sighed, "Young man is intent. The shopkeeper just said that those who cultivate immortals are afraid they are not very familiar with the matter of exorcism..."
