Gu Shiqiu and Ji Hanyue carried Shi Qi and ran several kilometers in the opposite direction to the southwest.
When I couldn't run any further, I actually met a young monk with brilliant hair and beard, sitting beside a fire, leaning against a black stone.
The three of them felt relieved, took a breath and stood still. They looked at each other and smiled, feeling grateful to have survived the disaster.
"Whose disciples are you? Why are you in such a mess?" the young man asked seriously.
Gu Shiqiu and Ji Hanyue stood still and bowed their hands in great respect.
"Your Excellency, Immortal, the disciples have just encountered a snake demon with extraordinary power, and barely escaped from death. It was predicted that there is a noble person in the southwest, and then they met Your Excellency."
"We have just come out of the Divination Sect. We never thought of encountering this disaster. If the disciples disturb the immortal, we will leave here immediately."
Shi Qi also cupped his hands, stood behind Ji Hanyue, and raised his eyes to look at the old man who was called an immortal.
"The Divination Sect and I have some connections. Since these little friends are Wei Yu's disciples, let's stay here to keep warm."
In other words, he agreed to cover them.
The monks in front of them were incredibly powerful, and they were even more oppressive than the snake demon.
"Thank you, Immortal. I don't know what to call Immortal?"
"I am a casual cultivator, my name is Xunchuan, and I practice swordsmanship." Xunchuan stretched out his hand and flicked it gently, and a powerful sword energy surged out.
Shi Qi felt a chill on his neck.
Not a moment later, a young man came out of the darkness. He was sick, his face was as white as a wax statue, his figure was thin and thin, his fingers were green and white, slender and slender.
Although he was wearing thick cotton clothes, it seemed as if the clothes could not hold him up. It was more like the clothes were covering him.
He walked over with a pile of dry branches in his hands and added some fire to the fire. As if he hadn't seen the three people, he sat next to Xunchuan, his expression dull and numb.
System: "Master, this is the Son of Destiny, Tan Yuan. Say a warm hello. You may meet often in the future. Mission number 001, greet and exchange names with the Son of Destiny. The time limit is two hours."
Shi Qi tightened her fingers slightly and grabbed a handful of soil on the ground. She glanced at Tan Yuan and felt that the system was torturing her.
She herself is a sociophobic patient, and Tan Yuan is obviously also in the late stage of social anxiety. How can she say hello?
Shi Qi frowned slightly, "Be a human being, system. What do you want me to say this late at night?"
"Master, I am not a human being in the first place."
A progress bar was displayed in front of Shi Qi, the time-limited task was hung at the top of the panel, and the countdown started in red.
Shi Qi thought for a while, then asked softly, "Xunchuan Immortal, is this little brother your disciple? Why doesn't he speak?"
"It's just a scoundrel, Tan Yuan is like this by nature. Tan Yuan, come over and say hello to the kids. You are all the same age. You should have a lot to say."
Shi Qi looked at Tan Yuan's tangled expression. Just like most children who were pulled out by their parents during the Chinese New Year to greet relatives who were beyond their reach, Shi Qi felt a little guilty.
Gu Shiqiu and Ji Hanyue looked at Shi Qi with vague encouragement in their eyes, as if there was something tangible, like a gleam on their backs.
"My name is Shi Qi, the hour of the hour, the seven of the seven days." Shi Qi whispered.
"Tan Yuan." Tan Yuan's voice was even lower.
A gust of cold wind blew gently, the fire shook, and everyone felt that the air was a little colder.
The system's progress bar increased by 1%, and the countdown stopped, indicating that the task was successful.
With such a reliable senior in the world of immortality, the trio breathed a sigh of relief and slept for half the night with peace of mind.
When the sky was dim and bright, Shi Qi was woken up by the morning sun, but Xunchuan and Tan Yuan had already left.
Not long after the fire was extinguished, it was still smoking.
Shi Qi felt relieved. If he had any interaction with Tan Yuan again, it would be torture for the two of them who were suffering from late-stage social anxiety.
Gu Shiqiu was practicing swordplay, while Ji Hanyue was drawing talismans.
Shi Qi looked at it for a while, rubbed his eyes, and just wanted to go back to sleep.
However, after Ji Hanyue finished drawing the talisman and put it into the brocade bag at her waist, she picked up Shi Qi.
"Junior sister, there are a lot of big monsters in Lin'an City. We were lucky enough to escape yesterday. However, if we encounter monsters and run away next time, it will damage the reputation of our divination sect."
"Senior sister, I think you and senior brother should work harder. Our sect's prestige depends on you." Shi Qi shrank his neck, feeling that the cold wind was pouring into his collar, and he was not energetic.
"Junior sister, when I left the sect, I promised to take good care of your schoolwork and not to break my promise. Come on, Master already talked about changing your mind last time. Let me tell you about the heavenly branches and earthly branches."
"..." Shi Qi opened a pair of dead fish eyes, feeling hopeless, "Sun."
"Junior sister, what did you say?"
"Sun, sun, a stellar body."
After half a month of sleeping rough in the wind, the three of them finally arrived in Lin'an.
The street near the window is bustling with people, heavy snow is floating in the air, and crowds of people are surging. The busy Lin'an City is filled with colorful oil-paper umbrellas filling the entire street.
Shi Qi had never been exposed to such a cold winter. The journey was so dusty that he caught a cold.
Gu Shiqiu and Ji Hanyue went out to check the feng shui of a wealthy family, leaving Shi Qi at the inn.
Gu Shiqiu came back at night and jumped in through Shi Qi's window.
He had a bit of blood smell on his body, carrying a sack on his back, and threw it on the ground, "Junior Sister, I picked up a puppy for you to keep and play with."
Then he hurriedly broke out of the window and closed the window considerately.
There was a rustling sound in the sack that Gu Shiqiu carried back in the corner. There was a small hole, and then a small, dusty paw stretched out.
Shi Qiban squatted on the ground and watched as the sack gradually turned from a small hole into a big hole. A black wet nose emerged from the hole, followed by a furry head.
The gray fur, the blue fox eyes were dull, and the dark red blood was in strands on the fur, looking just like a stray dog on the roadside.
The moment it met Shi Qi's eyes, it retracted its head and made a low sound from its throat.
Shi Qi stretched out his fingers to touch its claws. The snow-white claws lightly scratched Shi Qi's hand, breaking the skin, but no blood was seen.
The ice and snow are extremely cold. If you just throw it on the ground without caring about it, you probably won't survive tomorrow.
"Come out, I won't hurt you." She stretched out her finger and poked the sack gently.
But her actions seemed to make it more frightened. It shrank back into the sack and refused to make a sound again.
I was just shivering, not sure if it was fear or cold.
The system mocked and laughed unceremoniously in Shi Qi's mind, and it liked to see Shi Qi deflated.
Sure enough, the only things in this world that can restrain children are small animals.
Shi Qi reached into the hole and tried to grab it, but was slapped a few times on his hand, which was quite painful.
Shi Qi took a piece of dried meat and put it outside the sack. After a while, the puppy popped its head out of the sack. It looked pitiful. It looked at Shi Qi with wet blue eyes, sniffed it, and then put it in the sack. Eat dried meat.
Shi Qi took advantage of the situation and picked up its neck, took a piece of cloth to wipe it, cleaned the blood, and gently combed the hair with his fingers. By the time he finished washing, the hot water in the barrel had turned dark. Red blood.
She took a clean handkerchief to wipe away the water stains on the puppy, and she got a white fluffy puppy.
