Hearing Qi Jingzhi's name, Mu Yingxian raised her eyebrows and looked at him deeply: "Brother Qi is from the Jiang Qi clan?"
Qi Jingzhi immediately shook his head: "He is just an ordinary hunter in Linzhou Mountain, not a clan."
Hearing this, Mu Yingxian chuckled: "I wonder what kind of wild animal can be worthy of an...ordinary hunter like Brother Qi?"
Hearing what she said, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but think of the foxes and tiger spirits in Xiaosong Mountain. He couldn't help but smile, and turned to ask: "Miss Mu has a profound cultivation, and is even recognized as the master of a rare wood spirit like Taowu. I don't know which famous family she comes from." ?」
Mu Yingxian blinked, imitating Qi Jingzhi's previous tone, and said in the same understatement, "I am just a wanderer in the world, not a queen from a famous family."
After saying that, she hesitated for a moment and then added: "I came with the envoy from Pengze Water Mansion this time."
When Qi Jingzhi heard this, his heart moved, and he seemed to say unintentionally: "Pengze Water Mansion? I heard that a few days ago, an old camphor tree disappeared from the Qinghong Gong Shrine on the east bank of Pengze. It was rumored that it was a strange news. I don’t know if it’s true or not?”
Mu Yingxian's eyes turned and she asked with a smile: "Since Brother Qi doesn't know Peach House, I guess it's not the camphor tree girl that you're really interested in, right?"
Without waiting for Qi Jing's reaction, she continued: "The jade pillow enshrined in the temple was stolen. Pengze Water Mansion tried its best to cover it up, but after all, there is no airtight wall in the world. It is not a big deal if it reaches Brother Qi's ears. strange."
Seeing that his thoughts were revealed by Mu Yingxian's words, Qi Jingzhi immediately nodded and admitted, "I heard that the jade pillow is quite magical?"
Mu Yingxian nodded and shook his head: "It's just a way to induce dreams. To be honest, brother Qi, the jade pillow has been lost and found. I have seen it once today. To be honest, it is really disappointing."
Qi Jingzhi was surprised when he heard this. Even though the Qinghong Gong jade pillow had the help of many external objects, especially the power of the Zhengshen, to evolve into that big dream, in Jiao Yulang's view, it was still a rare treasure that even the King of Qi would covet. To get such an evaluation from Mu Yingxian?
Seeing his expression, Mu Yingxian explained: "I have inspected the jade pillow. It is carved from a piece of Huanxin Jade. I thought that the effect of this jade pillow was pretty good. Maybe there is something in the jade core." I just hid a Dreamweed, but I didn’t expect it to be just a sapodilla tree. It’s really a bit... nondescript.”
After breaking out of the dream, a series of changes occurred, and Old Wei even died. Qi Jingzhi was really not interested in the jade pillow, so he gave it to Jiao Yulang before he could take a closer look. He really didn't know that there was something else in the jade pillow. I have never heard of the objects mentioned by Mu Yingxian.
He felt more and more that his knowledge was really shallow, and he immediately clasped his fists and saluted the girl in front of him: "I am ignorant and have never heard of these three things. I wonder if Miss Mu can help me solve my doubts?"
Mu Yingxian smiled again: "Brother Qi, there is no need to be so polite. They are just some remote miscellany of little use."
"There are many things in the world that can promote sleep and help dreams. Among them, the most miraculous and rare one is Huaimencao. Legend has it that this exotic herb lies day and night and is extremely difficult to find. Its shape is like a cattail, its color is red, and Huaimencao Its leaves can help you know the good or bad luck of your dreams, and you can even meet the person you are dreaming of in your dreams."
Qi Jingzhi nodded, but was a little puzzled: "It's enough to be able to dream about the person you want, but what's the use of knowing the good or bad of the dream? It's just a dream."
The corners of Mu Yingxian's mouth curled up slightly, and the curve of her lips became softer and softer: "The dream about thousands of mountains in the afternoon, the shadow of an arrow in the window, who can tell clearly whether it is true or false? Brother Qi, sometimes this The dream is not just a dream!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Jingzhi was immediately shocked.
Isn't that dream in the pillow just a midday dream of thousands of mountains and an arrow in the shadow of a window? Isn't it true that the truth is also false when it is false?
Seeing that his expression became serious, Mu Yingxian also suppressed her smile and said seriously: "You and I are both monks. From now on, the higher our cultivation level and the deeper our realm, the less we can take dreams lightly, otherwise we might not be able to one day... Once you fall asleep, there will be no return!"
Qi Jingzhi immediately expressed his gratitude solemnly: "Thank you very much, Miss Mu, for your kind words."
"It's just a few chats with Brother Qi. It doesn't mean anything."
Mu Yingxian lowered her eyebrows and bowed, then continued
Said: "Huanxin jade is originally an ordinary jade, but because it happens to be associated with the Dreaming Grass, it is contaminated with the breath of dreams, and it also has the ability to induce hallucinations. Among them, the higher quality ones are like the Qinghong Gong Jade Pillow. It can make people fall asleep."
"It's just that the dreams generated by the Fantasy Heart Jade are usually not very solid and incomplete, and it is very easy for the dreamer to see the flaws and break out of the dream. For this reason, the person who originally made the jade pillow hid it in the jade core. I got a piece of soapberry, and although it doesn't quite match, it's still suitable."
"Wastewood is a sacred tree. It has a strange fragrance when burned and can ward off evil spirits. In ancient times, shamans used talismans to impeach ghosts and capture evil spirits, and then used soapwood to kill them. Because this wood can ward off ghosts, It also has the name of being worry-free.”
This description gave Qi Jingzhi a sense of déjà vu. After thinking about it for a moment, he remembered Zhu Yihou's discussion of Deng Fuqing's name: "On the first day of the first lunar month, a peach charm was made and placed in the household. It is called a fairy tree and is feared by all ghosts. "
He immediately said: "This soapwood is somewhat similar to the peach tree."
"There are some similarities, but the world has changed and the world has changed. Nowadays, soapberry is extremely difficult to find. Together with those ancient shamans who were famous for a while, they have gradually disappeared into obscurity. Today, when the world talks about warding off evil spirits and exorcising ghosts, most people will only think of it. It’s mahogany.”
Qi Jingzhi nodded, feeling more and more that the origin of the girl in front of him must be extraordinary. If she were a wandering person, she would never know so much "miscellaneous knowledge", let alone have any connection with Pengze Water Mansion.
It's just that the two of them had just gotten acquainted, and they were wary of each other. It was an unexpected surprise to hear the details of Qinghong Gong's jade pillow from each other. There was no need to dig into it, which would be annoying.
He raised his head to look at the sky, and was about to leave when he suddenly heard Mu Yingxian ask: "Brother Qi, although my Taowu is ignorant, it is still in the form of a wood spirit. It cannot be looked down upon by ordinary objects. I don't know what it has done before." What kind of treasure are you trying to steal? Oh, if it’s inconvenient to say, Brother Qi doesn’t have to answer.”
When he said these words, Mu Yingxian's eyes were clear and translucent, floating with bright waves.
Qi Jingzhi saw the moonlight in the sky, the clear waves in the pool, and himself.
The young man was stunned for a moment, then replied with a smile: "A bag of old wine."
Mu Yingxian was also stunned. She looked down at the green rabbit in her arms and picked up the pair of short furry ears: "Okay, I actually learned how to steal wine!"
Taowu grinned and let out a high-pitched scream, but did not dare to resist at all.
"Um?"
When Mu Yingxian heard Taowu's cry, her expression suddenly changed. She immediately grabbed the green-haired rabbit by its ears and lifted it in front of her.
One person and one rabbit looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes for a moment in silence, and the two pairs of eyes suddenly lit up at the same time.
The next moment, Mu Yingxian suddenly let go of her hand, letting go of the green rabbit in her hand.
She turned to look at Qi Jingzhi, with obvious excitement and hope in her tone: "The old wine that can make Tao Wu covet must be extraordinary. Brother Qi, can you give me some more? The price is negotiable! If it is really a rare good wine, then It’s Duke Qinghong’s jade pillow, so it’s not like it can’t be replaced!”
Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help being surprised: "That jade pillow was a birthday gift given by Qinghong Gong to Aunt Jiao, and Mu Yingxian could easily agree to exchange it for wine, and he clearly didn't find it difficult. "
As for this girl who was quite quiet before and looked younger than herself, it seemed that she was an alcoholic, which was actually a trivial matter not worth mentioning.
Qi Jingzhi pondered for a moment, shook his head and said with a smile: "That bag of wine was given by a senior. It is very helpful for those who practice kung fu in the Zhuangming Realm. Other than that, it is nothing special. It's just that when I came here, I didn't I’m not short of money, and secondly I don’t want Duke Qinghong’s jade pillow.”
"Don't want a jade pillow?"
Mu Yingxian was a little surprised, her brows furrowed slightly, as if she was thinking, and her eyes somehow drifted towards Tao Wu who was squatting at her feet.
The green-haired rabbit was cooing at the red carp painted on the paper lantern. Suddenly he felt something. He raised his head and met his master's gaze. He shuddered immediately, lowered his head and shrank his ears, and rolled himself into a real furry rabbit. ball.
Seeing this, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but laugh. If we really want to talk about it, that bag emperor
The anointing wine was exchanged for the red shrimp roe from Mrs. Baozhang. If it was really used to exchange for the Peach House, wouldn't it mean that they were going round and round and never left these wood spirits?
In addition, the other mountain dragon only ate a few chopsticks and was not even recognized by Deng Fuqing as a member of the same family. There are so many wood spirits in the mountains of Daqi!
Just by looking at the appearance of the girl in front of him, he knew that it was impossible for her to exchange the Peach House for wine. Qi Jingzhi also wanted to know what this drunken girl would give in exchange.
Not only is this a great way to learn more, it's also fun.
Sure enough, Mu Yingxian looked away from Tao Wu unwillingly, and said angrily: "I came out in a hurry this time, and I wanted to taste more local wines, so I didn't bring more of the treasures in my wine cellar." Z .br>
Mu Yingxian paused for a moment, and his expression gradually became serious: "Originally, these words were a bit superficial, but I saw that Brother Qi's realm seemed to be unstable, and his aura was a little impure. I think it was because he had entered the realm too quickly recently, and he used it again. Due to some external forces. So..."
"Why don't you let me play the piano and help Brother Qi stabilize his realm and lay a solid foundation, in exchange for that bag of old wine?"
Mu Yingxian's few comments can be said to be to the point.
Qi Jingzhi listened, and his expression became strange uncontrollably.
He set foot in the second realm in a short period of time. Compared with those high-ranking disciples who had been working steadily since childhood, his progress was indeed too fast, and things like tiger essence meat, imperial ointment wine and mountain dragon meat were indeed considered external forces.
If he hadn't unexpectedly gained insights into the "Flying Dragon Calling Lin Pu" and Crane Dance because of his repairs to Qi Hu Chan today, he might have suffered another disaster at some point.
Because Linpu's pearls and jade were in front of him, Qi Jingzhi actually didn't doubt the efficacy of Mu Yingxian's piano music, but the problem was that the two things were too close to each other!
Symbols and harp music, peach trees and sapodilla trees, mountain dragons and peach houses, these things that were quite similar but could not be touched with eight poles made him uncontrollably feel a sense of extremely absurd familiarity in his heart.
Thinking of this, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but ask, "Does Miss Mu know Senior Deng Fuqing and Deng?"
Qi Jingzhi could see it clearly. As soon as he asked his question, the expression on the girl in front of him also became strange.
Mu Yingxian opened her eyes and stared at the boy for a long time, then suddenly stretched out her right hand and plucked her fingers out of thin air, as if stroking a string.
At the same time, Qi Jingzhi actually heard the melodious music in his ears. The beginning of the melody was familiar to him as soon as he heard it. He realized it as soon as he recognized it, and even the angry crane's heart and soul couldn't help but start to follow it. Dance.
Just because what Mu Yingxian played was the "Flying Dragon Calling Lin Score"!
Naturally, the girl saw the change in Qi Jingzhi's demeanor and even his breath. She immediately retracted her right hand and a scowl appeared on her face: "Although we met by chance, I have never deceived you. You are clearly Cao's surname, Zhu's surname, Zhu Xiang's surname." What's so shameful about your bloodline, why would you change your name and deceive others?"
Her anger solidified her relationship with Deng Fuqing. The two must have known each other. This is really unexpected and reasonable.
Qi Jingzhi sighed at the wonders of the world, and quickly shook his head and said: "I don't change my name when I'm walking, and I don't change my surname when I sit down. My real name is Qi Jingzhi!"
Not wanting to hear this, Mu Yingxian's anger actually increased instead of abating: "Nonsense! If you are not the descendant of Zhu Xiang, then where did you learn this song "Flying Dragon Calling Lin Pu"? You will Lin Pu Integrate into my heart and make me feel friendly as soon as I see you. What is the purpose of being so deliberate?"
The girl gritted her teeth, and her pale cheeks were stained with a hint of crimson, which reminded Qi Jingzhi of the peach blossoms that bloomed on the Cao River that night.
Qi Jingzhi found it pleasing to the eye, but he didn't dare to look at it more.
He looked at the other party's bright eyes without hesitation, his eyes were pure and calm: "A few days ago, I had an encounter with Senior Deng on the Caojiang River, and witnessed with my own eyes that he exchanged the "Flying Dragon Calling the Rain Book" for Zhu Yihou's The heart of the red heart tree.”
"At that time, I wrote down part of the Linpu with a strong mind. Fortunately, the two seniors were both open-minded and unconventional masters, and they never argued with me."
After hearing what he said about having a nose and eyes, Mu Yingxian's anger subsided slightly.
But there was suspicion in his eyes: "You just heard it once and remembered it?"
"Well……"
Qi Jingzhi only hesitated for a moment when he saw Mu Yingxian's eyes widened again and her eyebrows suddenly raised.
He opened his mouth and immediately decided to tell the truth: "Senior Zhu did not play this score at that time, but in his excitement, it resonated with the sound of wind, water and boats. I didn't know the music, so I just forcibly recorded the score that was sown in the sky and water at that time. It’s just that mysterious rhythm of time.”
"Can't understand the music? Is that all?" Mu Yingxian glared at Qi Jingzhi, seeming to get even more angry.
The girl got lucky and said fiercely: "Then listen to me play a song. If you can't remember it... don't blame me for being rude!"
