"Catch monsters?"
Xia Zhichan has been walking around Jiangcheng these days, but he has not found any traces of monsters. He has really not seen any monsters since the day of the River God Festival.
In terms of Jiang Qin's strength alone, if she is a monster that no one can control, even if Xia Zhichan, who can only be regarded as a mortal, is included, she will not be able to subdue the monster.
But, when Xia Zhichan thought about the fact that the woman in front of her had almost zero actual combat experience, and had a very high level of cultivation but couldn't use it, when the time came to really fight, what if she lost...
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Xia Zhichan put down the case files in his hands. He had nothing to pack. All the important things were hidden in his sleeves.
So I could only follow the woman empty-handed.
Jiang Qin didn't know why, maybe he knew that Xia Zhichan was currently in a weak state and couldn't use the flying technique, or he wanted to deliberately delay the time, so he didn't choose to fly with the sword.
The two of them walked in tandem, strolling through the streets of Jiangcheng that had fallen into darkness.
Today, the woman is not wearing the white Taoist robe she wore when we first met her. Instead, she is wearing the most popular light yellow su brocade fringed skirt in Jiangcheng in recent years, like an ordinary wealthy woman. She is also covered with a light-colored skirt with a white fox collar. Great cloak.
People who didn't know thought someone's eldest daughter had sneaked out.
Of course, the woman in front of him now is not a wealthy eldest lady, but a more noble princess of the current dynasty.
Before the woman went out, she was approached by Princess Le, who forced her to take off her white Taoist robe and put on expensive and exquisite clothes.
She was going to get rid of the demon tonight, so she hurried to find Xia Zhichan before she had time to change clothes.
Today, she is a little less ethereal than when we first met her, and more like a human being.
The unworldly fairy is beautiful, but like the white lotus blooming in the pond, people can only watch from a distance, but they dare not get close.
"You seem to be quite busy recently..."
The autumn wind blew over and brought her voice.
Xia Zhichan looked at the woman's back and didn't know why she asked so suddenly. She just treated it as a casual chat with ordinary friends.
"Just looking for some clues."
"oh."
The woman stopped talking, and the only sound that could be heard on the street was the whistling of the wind, rushing by quickly, blowing the banners hanging on the corner shop and swaying from side to side.
"Do you have anything to ask?"
Xia Zhichan always felt that Jiang Qin seemed to have something to say but had some scruples. Several times he saw the woman wanting to turn around, but she always stopped.
"Um...no."
Xia Zhichan naturally didn't believe this.
He took two quick steps, and the two of them changed from one behind the other to walking side by side. He stretched out his hands, and the index fingers of both hands stretched out:
"Let's make a deal. If you ask me a question, you have to answer me a question, and vice versa...how about it?"
This can also be regarded as an opportunity to break the awkward atmosphere between the two people.
Xia Zhichan can be regarded as having traveled through the world of martial arts, but his perspective is different from that of ordinary Jianghu people, and the things he does and the words he says are also different from those of Jianghu people.
Jiang Qin has never been out of the mountain. Ever since she was accepted as a disciple by her master after going up the mountain, she has been practicing. She rarely interacts with people from the same sect in Longhu Mountain, so she has a simple mind.
"OK."
The woman adjusted her collar. It was the first time she had worn such clothes since she was so old. The soft white fox fur on the edge of the collar made her a little uncomfortable.
"Then let me ask first...your name is Jiang Qin. Jiang is the surname of the country. Are you from the royal family?"
Xia Zhichan is talking nonsense. The surname Jiang comes from an ancient tribe and has always been sparse in number. After the founding of the Qi Emperor, the common people were not allowed to have the surname Jiang, so those with the surname Jiang must be descendants of the royal family.
"Yes, I am a royal and a princess..."
When Jiang Qin said that she was a princess, she felt suddenly uncomfortable in her heart, but she didn't understand why she felt uncomfortable.
Maybe it's because this seemingly noble princess status is the most unreal to her.
"Oh...princess."
Xia Zhichan looked at the woman's obviously dimmed eyes and knew that the other party was not willing to talk about this topic anymore, so she could only change the subject:
"Okay, now it's your turn to ask me, but it can't be a private matter..."
“What is a privacy issue?”
The woman tilted her head, and the jade pieces inserted in her hair swayed, occasionally hitting each other and making a slight ding-dong sound.
"For example, a man's size, a woman's age, etc."
Xia Zhichan felt a little guilty when he spoke. He felt that he was going to lead the woman in front of him into trouble, so he said nonchalantly without waiting for the other party to think about it:
"Okay, it's my turn to ask questions again."
The woman looked confused and confused. She was still thinking about what Xia Zhichan said just now, but after being interrupted, she could only frown slightly, with an inexplicable annoyance:
"I haven't asked yet?"
"You asked, your question just now was 'What is a privacy issue', wasn't it?"
Xia Zhichan managed to disrupt the woman's thoughts and couldn't let her think of the nasty words she just said, so she was about to ask:
"Now my question is..."
"Yes."
Well? I just said yes, my question hasn't been asked yet.
The woman raised her eyebrows and said to the dazed Xia Zhichan with a smile:
"Yes. I've finished answering your questions, now it's my turn to ask..."
"When did I..."
Before Xia Zhichan finished speaking, he realized what the woman was thinking. He just casually asked "Isn't it?", and the woman took this as his question, and her answer was "yes".
"Haha... Well, I didn't expect that an old hunter like me would encounter a cunning fox. Just ask."
There was a smile on the woman's face that she couldn't hide. She looked at the frustration deliberately pretending to be on Xia Zhichan's face, and the corners of her mouth were curved like a crescent moon.
"When I first met you, you seemed to be looking for something on the boat. What were you looking for?"
"Uh...just a wine gourd."
Xia Zhichan told the truth, but he didn't say what kind of wine gourd it was, nor did he say what use the wine gourd was to him.
This is what makes him so bad. Compared with Jiang Qin, who is not experienced in the world, Xia Zhichan can be regarded as a cunning old fox. Every word he says is true, but you don't know what it means when you hear it.
"What wine gourd, is it important to you?"
Jiang Qin asked curiously.
"Haha, now it's time for me to ask questions."
Xia Zhichan finally took the initiative. He pointed to his nose and rolled his eyes in Jiang Qin's somewhat unconvinced eyes:
"What level of cultivation is your current level?"
"The peak of entry, half step to the top."
Jiang Qin was honest. If he met a bad person in the world, he would probably be betrayed and still have to thank him.
"oh?"
Xia Zhichan only used one modal word to express her mood, half curious and half surprised.
He is curious because up to now, he is still an ordinary person who has not yet started. Without the infuriating energy provided by the immortal brew, he cannot even perform the most common spells. Therefore, he yearns for the world after truly entering the world, and also has some fear of the unknown.
What surprised me was how high Jiang Qin's cultivation was. She looked young, a little green and immature, but she didn't expect that she was already so cultivated.
Looking back at myself...
Xia Zhichan felt uncomfortable, feeling a bit irritated. He could only comfort himself in his heart while turning his head away from Jiang Qin.
"Xia Zhichan, why did you go to Quelong Mountain to become a spiritual official?"
"This..."
The man's footsteps stopped, and he raised his head to look at the night sky. There were no stars or moon there, just pitch black.
At first, it seemed to be such a night. He was taken away by his master, leaving his home, the capital, and everything in his memory.
I arrived in a new place, with a new name and identity, several senior brothers who loved me as brothers, and a master who loved preaching but was sometimes confused.
"for……"
Xia Zhichan thought about many answers. Maybe it was because his master took a fancy to his extraordinary talent, maybe he was destined to become a spiritual officer, maybe it was because of something else.
However, there is only one answer.
"I'm trying to... survive, to be able to survive."
He was originally a person who deserved to die, and all the catastrophes he encountered could lead to his death. However, because of the love of his parents and relatives, and the protection of his master and brothers, he was able to survive the catastrophes time and time again and reach this point.
"Well……"
Just like before, this time Jiang Qin touched the corner of Xia Zhichan's heart that she didn't want to talk about, and she could only lower her head like a child who had done something wrong.
"sorry……"
"Haha, I'm fine. But your question should be regarded as a privacy question. I also want to ask you a privacy question..."
Xia Zhichan deliberately let out a few laughs to break the once heavy atmosphere. He stared at the woman with her head lowered, and a smirk appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"You want to tell me, how old are you now?"
"Um...nineteen years old."
Jiang Qin left the palace when she was six years old and came to Longhu Mountain. She met her master and devoted herself to practicing Taoism. In the blink of an eye, more than ten years passed.
There were two figures, one large and one small, sitting on the top of the mountain. Now the woman has grown to be almost as tall as her master.
"oh."
Xia Zhichan put away his smile. He realized that he had asked a very stupid question. He was two or three years older than this woman, but he was still a useless person who had not yet entered the society. She was already halfway to the throne.
Dengtang means to enter the hall. Only those who have reached this level of cultivation are truly qualified to leave their own traces on the stage of this era.
"The last question, you asked me about the woman's age, I want to ask a similar question..."
While Jiang Qin was talking, Xia Zhichan already felt something was wrong. He swallowed hard, resisting her asking the question, but at the same time there was a faint expectation.
"What's your size...?"
These words of tiger and wolf are matched with the innocence on the woman's face.
"Cough cough cough -" Xia Zhichan coughed violently several times. All kinds of feelings were welling up in his heart now, and he didn't know what to say.
"Tell me...why are you coughing?"
Jiang Qin couldn't help but become curious when he saw the rare Xia Zhichan in such a chaotic state, so he continued to ask.
"No, no, um...can we change the question? Didn't I say that this is a private question and cannot be answered."
Xia Zhichan waved her hands repeatedly, and even turned her face to avoid Jiang Qin's bright and innocent eyes, which were as pure as moonlight.
"But you just asked me my age, and I answered it."
"It wasn't because...anyway, if you want to change the question, anything else will do."
"I don't! For that matter, what is your size? Are there any differences in size between men and women?"
Xia Zhichan almost ran away when questioned.
Even if he was discovered by his senior brother when he was hiding in the farmyard and reading the pornographic book among the three thousand books, he was not as embarrassed as he is now. After all, the senior brother just patted him on the shoulder, showing a knowing look among boys, and even pointed out the locations of several other books.
Now facing Jiang Qin, he really didn't know what to do.
"Xia Zhichan, please tell me quickly! How can you, a dignified spiritual official in Kunlong Mountain, break your promise and get rich?"
"How do I know? I haven't measured it..."
Xia Zhichan was so anxious by being questioned that she simply put her hands on the woman's shoulders and looked at her face as pink as hibiscus.
He spent all his life's shame and said:
"How about you try?"
