Seeing that something was wrong with Liu Qingyan's expression, Zhi Miao stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes, and said slightly worriedly: "Donor, are you okay?"
Liu Qingyan came back to her senses, coughed uncomfortably, and said with a smile: "I didn't know that Zhimiao, you are still a little master who knows everything!"
Hearing this, Zhi Miao's face turned red and she opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she said nothing and turned around and ran away.
The Buddhist precepts are not to speak nonsense or to talk too much. In order to cover up his gaffe, Liu Qingyan cleverly tricked the little novice Zhimiao. However, he pretended that nothing had happened and straightened his clothes. Then he hurriedly ran in the direction of Jinshi Valley.
Yaoshou, why is he thinking about all these things? After staying in the world of cultivation for so many years, he still hasn't understood the relationship between people. Some people are destined to only look up to him, but he only needs to be down-to-earth and move forward step by step. , it’s good to have a clear conscience!
Thinking of Uncle Qin who was practicing in the stone chamber of Mingyu Peak, and the little Amao in the spirit beast bag, Liu Qingyan felt a little more at ease. As for this seemingly high-end spirit beast bag, Fang Caizhimiao didn't ask him anyway. After taking it back, he would naturally regard it as his own.
Running to the edge of Fang City, Liu Qingyan could almost imagine how the Jinshi Valley, which was originally very flat with a few small stone hills, had turned into pits and broken stones everywhere. How tragic it is.
The original Jinshi Valley was filled with very strong Xinjin Qi, but within two days, the Xinjin Qi had become a bit thinner. The rare treasure Zhi Miao mentioned could not be the treasure that exudes the Xinjin Qi. Well, now that the treasure is gone, the Qi of Xinjin has become thinner. It won't be long before the Jinshi Valley, which used to be bustling with people, will become a ruin that no one cares about.
Nowadays, there is no golden grass to be found anywhere, and even if there is, it has been picked up by other monks. However, Liu Qingyan did not give up, found a way, ran down and rummaged among the rocks for a while, and the result was still the same. Nothing was found.
What to do now? The sect cannot complete its mission and the sect cannot get contribution points. How can he, a small handyman disciple, hang out in the Sword Sect!
But even if he fails to complete the task, he still has to go back. Master Qin is still practicing in the stone chamber. If you can't find him after leaving seclusion, you have to worry.
Liu Qingyan kicked the stones under his feet irritably, and returned to Fangshi with a frustrated look. He originally wanted to say goodbye to the Zhimiao novice monk, and then went to Yunzhoufang to buy a ticket and return to the sect. After searching around the city, he couldn't find Zhimiao, so Liu Qingyan could only say "No chance" and went directly to Yunzhoufang.
As a result, not only Zhi Miao was not destined to be with him, but Yunzhoufang was also not destined to be with him. Liu Qingyan came to the door of Yunzhoufang and took a look. There was a sign in front of the shop saying "This shop is temporarily closed. The date of reopening is uncertain."
Seeing this, Liu Qingyan looked at the sky speechlessly. Is the shop under the name of Jianzong also so unreliable? Seeing that something happened here, it closed its doors. He didn't know when it would open again. He couldn't follow Yunzhoufang's spaceship back to Jianzong. Zong, Liu Qingyan had to look for other ferry shops. As a result, either the time was not coordinated, or the route was inappropriate.
Liu Qingyan's heart changed, and she simply walked to Luo City, the nearest place, on two legs, and then took the Luo City Yunzhoufang's spaceship back to the sect.
The journey along the way was regarded as practice. As for the sect mission, he carefully recalled the long-term effective spiritual grass missions on the sect mission, and decided to look for other spiritual herbs along the way that could offset the mission, hoping to compensate.
After roughly identifying the location of Jian Zong, Liu Qingyan set off on the road.
Although Jinshi Valley is between Jianzong and Liguang Temple, it is very close to Liguang Temple and a bit far from Jianzong. It is roughly estimated that it will take dozens of days to reach Luo City.
Qi training monks cannot fly with swords and rely on only two legs to travel. At this time, Liu Qingyan is extremely looking forward to building a foundation. In this case, he can fly back to the sect with swords by himself, and there is no need to search everywhere. Yunzhoufang is so troublesome.
Tens of miles after leaving Jinshigufang City, Liu Qingyan belatedly discovered that Amao was still in the spirit beast bag. Thinking of Amao, he quickly took out the black and gold-line spirit beast bag and bit into it. Cut off your finger and identify its owner with its blood.
As soon as he made contact with the spirit beast bag, his ears were almost deafened by Amao's cry.
"Liu Qingyan, you stinky boy, hurry up and get out of here!"
"You fucking finally remembered me, your uncle!"
"Thank you for staying with me for so many years, you little heartless brat!"
"The spirit beast bag is dark and has no food. It's really no place for a cat to stay!"
…
These complaints were in line with Amao's character, and Liu Qingyan, who had been complained about in all kinds of ways, thought of it.
Hey, that’s not right!
How come Amao can speak?
Thinking of this, Liu Qingyan had a thought and released Amao from the spirit beast bag. He held Amao's snow-white body with both hands and said in surprise: "Amao, Amao, when will you be able to speak? Have you advanced?" ?”
Amao was furious when he heard this. His short cat tail stood up, and his little mouth kept moving: "You have the nerve to say, I have been with you for so many years, and there is no credit but hard work. You Damn, you actually made a contract with me!"
Liu Qingyan was even more surprised, "Contract? I don't know how to contract!"
Amao said sadly and angrily: "You can't... you can't be useless, someone can! That Buddhist cultivator in white is the same Buddhist cultivator in white who forcibly helped you contract me!"
Liu Qingyan frowned and asked: "Which Buddhist cultivator in white clothes? I don't know any Buddhist cultivator in white clothes!"
Amao shouted: "The one you envy and hate is the one who walked through the deep pit formation in one day! I was staying in your arms well, but after that Buddhist cultivator rescued you, he forcibly helped you to save me." We made a contract, and you put me in this damn spirit beast bag!"
Liu Qingyan was shocked: "The white-clothed Buddhist cultivator you are talking about could be Master Shichen, the Buddhist saint!"
Amao tilted his head: "It seems that I did hear those guys calling him Master Shichen."
Liu Qingyan's face was full of shock: "It turns out that the Buddhist cultivator in white is Master Shichen. If he has such a level of cultivation, why would he bother to break into this formation!"
Amao said: "Who said he came to break the formation? He clearly came..."
"What are you here for? Tell me!" Liu Qingyan held Amao's little ears reluctantly.
Amao was furious again: "Oh, wipe, don't pull my ears! We are talking about the contract now, Liu Qingyan, please don't change the subject!"
"If you don't tell me clearly today, don't even think about breaking the contract!" Liu Qingyan is not someone who compromises easily.
Amao's golden cat eyes flickered a little. Seeing that Liu Qingyan still refused to put down his ears, he reluctantly said, "No... I'm just here to find the rare treasure!"
"You mean, Master Shi Chen knew that a rare treasure was born here, so he came to find the rare treasure in advance. Did the master finally get the rare treasure?"
Amao said impatiently: "How did I know this? When the strange baby was born, I stayed in your arms!"
Liu Qingyan thought for a while: "According to my guess, the master probably didn't get it. With the master's compassionate temperament, if he knew the specific time when the exotic treasure was born, he would definitely not leave so many monks in the Golden Stone Valley alone, unless... The appearance of this rare treasure caught him off guard. Also, if the master gets it, with his status and cultivation, there is no need to hide it and dare not reveal it, so the person who gets the treasure must be someone else."
When Amao heard this, he exploded again: "Compassionate? Liu Qingyan, you actually said he was compassionate! He made a contract with me like this, and you said he was compassionate!"
Liu Qingyan pulled Amao's ears harder without any mercy: "Master Shi Chen is my benefactor, you are not allowed to slander him, do you hear me! Also, you are not allowed to change the topic! Honestly, that strange person is not allowed to slander him." Does Bao appear so suddenly, does it have anything to do with you? I remember those few months when you were wandering around outside all day long."
Amao continued to fret: "How... how could it be related to me, uncle!"
Liu Qingyan smiled and said: "I didn't believe it at first that the birth of the exotic treasure was related to you, but now, I have to believe it!"
"You lied to me!"
"Honestly!"
Seeing the twitching expression on Liu Qingyan's face, Amao really wanted to scratch it with his claws, but he was wearing that spiritual weapon mask and his claws couldn't scratch it at all. Knowing that he couldn't hide it from Liu Qingyan, Amao had to tell the truth. Report: "I didn't do it on purpose, I just accidentally noticed that the aura was very attractive to me, so I looked around for its location in Jinshi Valley. Later, I didn't know what mechanism was touched, and the ground began to shake. I... I ran I’m back to see you.”
Liu Qingyan didn't believe it, "Is it that simple?"
Amao shouted: "It's that simple, what else do you want to hear!"
"For example, why does that exotic treasure attract you? Another example, what is that exotic treasure?"
Amao turned his head: "I don't know!"
"Then what else do you know?"
Unable to bear his probing questions, Amao broke down and said, "I don't know anymore. I've told you everything I know! Can we talk about the contract?"
After saying this, Liu Qingyan suddenly became quiet and didn't say a word for a long time.
Amao secretly raised his eyelids to look at him, but saw that there was no smile on his face.
After a while, Amao suddenly heard him ask: "Amao, do you really not want to sign a contract with me?"
Seeing that Liu Qingyan was not in the right mood, Amao said cautiously: "It's not that I don't really want to, but do you know how unfair this contract is to me? If you die, I will die with you; your cultivation will not improve. , no matter how fast I practice, I still have to be suppressed; because of the influence of this contract, I will slowly become loyal to you. Tell me, will I still be able to live as a cat in the future like this!" said As he spoke, he became excited again.
