It was already night, and Xiao Chunqiu and the other three lit a fire on a mountain top, but Wei Wucan was the only one beside the fire, because the other two were looking up at the moon in the sky on the edge of the cliff. He was left here to roast the two pheasants he caught from the mountains when he came here, but he was not annoyed. He always had a smile on his face. It seemed that besides practicing martial arts, cooking was his greatest pleasure.
Roasting pheasant is a technical job, and it would be impossible to do it without two brushes, but for Wei Wucan, who grew up in the kitchen, it couldn't be easier. From plucking the hair, removing the internal organs, to applying seasonings to the final roasting, it was done in one go without any sloppiness. The technique is probably even more skillful than that of a seasoned cook who has been working for decades.
"Xiao Chunqiu is looking at the moon in a daze again, and so is my senior sister. Is the moon so beautiful?" I felt that the pheasant was almost cooked, so I finally took the time to take a look over there.
At this time, there was a moon hanging in the sky. They stood under it, letting the moonlight erode them. Suddenly Xiao Chunqiu frowned and looked at Murong Qiuxue slightly, "What do you mean? To ask?"
Murong Qiuxue was stunned, "How do you know?"
"In the past quarter of an hour, you have looked back at me six times, and every time you looked like you wanted to ask something." Xiao Chunqiu turned his head and looked at the moon, "Tell me, what do you want to ask?"
Murong Qiuxue thought for a while and then said: "There is one thing I don't understand. Aren't you an immortal? Why did Eunuch Yu Heng say during the day that your Qing Gong level is only at the level of Xiaoyao Tianjing? Shouldn't it be stronger? ?"
"He is right! My Qinggong is only at the level of Xiaoyao Tian." Xiao Chunqiu did not deny what Eunuch Yu Heng said.
Murong Qiuxue looked confused, "Why?"
"When I came to this world and saw you for the first time, I told you that the me you saw was not the me you saw that day, but another me. Generally speaking, I am now. , it’s just a clone of me you saw that day.”
"Clone?" Murong Qiuxue was shocked, "Are you a dummy?"
Xiao Chunqiu smiled softly, "Not stupid at all."
Murong Qiuxue didn't pay attention. Instead, she turned around and looked at Xiao Chunqiu back and forth. However, she didn't look like a dummy. She didn't have the cumbersome feeling of a dummy. Her speech and behavior were exactly the same as a real person. , she did not doubt whether Xiao Chunqiu, the fox, was lying to her.
"Don't look at it. My iron dummy is invisible to the naked eye." Xiao Chunqiu said calmly.
Murong Qiuxue thought for a moment and said, "So what?"
Xiao Chunqiu took a long breath and said: "So, I only have a trace of my soul and a ray of true energy in my body now. If that ray of true energy continues to be consumed, my martial arts realm will continue to decline, and if I use the true energy in a hurry, Qi will make you faint, which is why I always use qinggong, which does not consume real energy."
Murong Qiuxue couldn't help but think of the scene when Xiao Chunqiu defeated the killer Li Yanshu with one kick. She understood everything instantly, but she suddenly asked, "What will happen if the zhenqi in your body runs out?"
But Xiao Chunqiu did not reply to her, and only asked her, "What will happen if the person loses his breath?"
Murong Qiuxue was shocked for a moment, and Xiao Chunqiu continued: "I thought I could find you with this ray of true energy and take you back, but now it seems that you won't be able to go back in a short time."
"Why? Because of the agreement you made with Xiao Jinshi?" Murong Qiuxue asked.
Xiao Chunqiu looked at the moon in the sky again, and his tone became gentler, "You know that I am an immortal, but do you know where my hometown is?"
Murong Qiuxue shook her head, "I don't know!"
"My hometown is Beili in this realm. Hangzhou in Beili can also be said to be the entire Beili, because it was the old man and I who built Beili little by little." Xiao Chunqiu said.
"Then you decided to stay because..."
"It's just to fulfill the old man's wish, Wei Wucan!" Xiao Chunqiu slowly turned around and called out to Wei Wucan who was roasting pheasant.
Wei Wucan heard the sound and ran over with a smile and asked: "Xiao Chunqiu, you... called me?"
Xiao Chunqiu didn't waste any time and asked seriously, "Wei Wucan, don't you really want to know my true identity? I can tell you now."
"Really?" Wei Wucan looked surprised, but still didn't quite believe it.
"My surname is Xiao, from the Xiao royal family in the north!" Xiao Chunqiu said in one sentence that was sonorous and powerful.
"The Xiao royal family?" Wei Wucan was shocked, "Then Xiao Jinshi is yours..."
"My seniority is very high, I should be his grandfather's generation." Xiao Chunqiu said calmly.
"Huh?" Wei Wucan looked surprised, "What...what generation is this?"
Xiao Chunqiu raised his hand and slapped Wei Wucan, "Idiot, I didn't tell you to remember this."
Wei Wucan rubbed his head, looking innocent, "What do you remember?"
Xiao Chunqiu looked helpless, "I want you to remember that I assume Xiao Jinshi's identity. This is not just an agreement I made with him, but also to help him complete something, which is related to a dynasty." It’s a big deal, and he doesn’t dare to go down the next road, so I will go down for him.”
Wei Wucan frowned and thought for a while, "So, you just don't want me to reveal your true identity?"
"You must think of me as him." Xiao Chunqiu stretched out a finger and said solemnly.
Wei Wucan seemed to be frightened by this finger. He thought it was much scarier than a big man with a steel knife attacking him. He forced a smile and nodded, "Oh! But, you guys really Not twin brothers?"
Xiao Chunqiu frowned in anger for a moment, and raised his hand to hit him. Wei Wucan saw this and ran away in a hurry, "Hey, the pheasant I roasted was burnt, I won't tell you anymore!"
Seeing Wei Wucan running away, Xiao Chunqiu did not chase him. He just glanced at him and turned around. He folded his arms and returned to his lazy look. Murong Qiuxue on the side also followed his gaze again. Looking at the moon.
At this moment, the moon in the sky had risen into the sky, and the cool breeze blew on their faces. They stood there and stared for a long time. After a long time, Murong Qiuxue looked at her again and asked, "Xiao Chunqiu, where should we go next?" ?”
"Go to the Sky Eye!" Xiao Chunqiu replied calmly.
...
Mohist government city.
Agency Pavilion.
The gentle and elegant Mo Yu was sitting there, playing chess with him alone.
At this time, Pian Qian and his junior brother stepped into the pavilion, stepped forward and bowed their hands to Mo Yu above, "Master!"
Mo Yu paused slightly and turned to look at them, "Well, you are back? Are you injured, Tuo Qian?"
Pirates Qian buried his head lower, "It's because the disciple was not good at studying, met a strong senior, and failed to bring back Xiao Jinshi, Young Master Xiao, and failed to complete the task assigned by the master."
"Master, you can't blame senior brother for this. I didn't catch him either." Baoxiang was not as humble and polite as Tuan Qian, and she said it very casually.
"Yes!" Mo Yu nodded lightly, "It doesn't matter! This discussion with the Great Elder was not intended for Mr. Xiao, so it would be good to bring him back. It's okay if you can't bring him back. Pirates Qian, you go back first Go and recuperate!"
"Yes, Master!" Pirates Qian withdrew from the pavilion.
Seeing that his senior brothers had all left, Baoxiang followed suit and bowed his hands to his master, saying, "Master, I'll take my leave now, please take your time."
But Mo Yu called out to him, "Baoxiang, you stay here for a while before leaving."
"Oh!" Baoxiang stepped forward, sat down across from the chess table, and asked, "Master, what else can you do if you leave me?"
Mo Yu gently dropped a sunspot, then raised his head and asked, "What will you gain from going out with your senior brother this time?"
"Reward?" Baoxiang held her chin and thought for a moment, "I met a lot of interesting people, and they are all special!"
"Then tell me."
"There was a senior brother who seemed to be the Eye of the Sky. I can't remember his name, but I remember that he always had a look of bitterness and hatred on his face, as if someone owed him money. Later I also saw the legendary The red-clothed fairy, she was very good-looking, and my disciples even sparred with her a few times. However, the one who impressed me the most was a boy in red, named Wei Wucan. Although his martial arts skills were not as strong as mine, when it came to The words are very funny. By the way, Master, I also met a sister who is good at sword control, but she is not as powerful as my Heart Sword Interconnection." Baoxiang said one by one.
"Is this all the harvest?" Mo Yu asked gently.
Baoxiang pondered for a moment and thought, and suddenly remembered something, "Master, there is another gain, well... that is, the young master named Xiao used some secret technique on me. The apprentice just glanced at his eyes and became aware instantly. I entered an illusion, and later Mu Jianxian came to wake me up, otherwise it would be really difficult for the apprentice to get out of that illusion."
"Brother Murong?" Mo Yu said suspiciously, "What did you see in the illusion?"
Baoxiang scratched her head, "I can't remember what I saw, but that illusion helped me improve my swordsmanship."
After saying that, Baoxiang pulled out the Thousand Machine Sword from his waist and jumped up, his clothes flying. He waved the Thousand Machine Sword and instantly exploded into twenty-four small squares, twelve of which turned into swords. Twelve turned into knives.
"Go!" Baoxiang waved her right hand, and the twelve small swords flew out.
"You guys go too!" He waved his left hand again, and twelve knives flew out.
"Enlightening the Tao with one mind and two uses, not bad!" Mo Yu looked at the flying knives and swords in the field and couldn't help but admired, but even if his little apprentice was happy, his face didn't show too much surprise.
"Go back!" Baoxiang waved his hands, and the twelve knives and twelve swords flew back in the air. They instantly transformed into the Thousand Machine Sword and fell into Baoxiang's hands. He danced a sword flower. Looking at Mo Yu, "Master, that Young Master Xiao not only didn't hurt me, he also helped me."
But Mo Yu ignored him as his apprentice, as if he was thinking about something else, and couldn't help but murmured in a low voice, "She should be able to be ranked on the list of Bai Xiaotang."
"Master, what did you say?" Baoxiang took a step forward.
Mo Mo came back to his senses, smiled and shook his head, "Nothing, I have something to tell you later."
"Oh!" Baoxiang tucked the Thousand Machine Sword into her waist, "Then the disciple will go ahead and take his leave!"
After saying that, Baoxiang turned around and walked out of the organ pavilion, but another voice came, "By the way, Master, Mu Jianxian said, he saved me, you owe me a favor."
