"The moon is really bright tonight!" Elder Mo stroked his beard and looked at the sky.
"Yes, yes." Luo Yan and Chang He looked at the sky. After a while, a gust of wind passed by, dark clouds blocked half of the moon, and most of the moonlight dimmed instantly.
The atmosphere became a bit awkward.
"Hello, Immortal!" The patrol team did not notice the awkward atmosphere among the three people, and saluted the three people hiding on the roof, pushing the already awkward atmosphere to its peak.
"Be polite, be polite." Elder Mo flew down from the roof, glanced at the yellow dog hiding behind the child, and finally his eyes fell on the dog tag hanging around its neck, and he smiled kindly.
"Thank you, Immortal, for saving your life. I don't know the name of Immortal, but we can't repay him. We are willing to pray for Immortal and offer incense." Facing Jiu Hui, the patrol captain was extremely respectful.
After witnessing Jiu Hui destroying three bat demons like swatting mosquitoes, he felt extremely lucky that he had not offended the immortal leader just now.
"We and other immortal cultivators should take it as our own duty to eliminate demons and protect the Tao. We don't need to leave our names." Jiu Hui walked up to the child and wanted to rub his face, but when she saw his face was covered with tears and snot, she rubbed it instead. The puppy at his feet: "Go back and supervise your little master to practice calligraphy and reading and be a good dog."
She buried her head and said in a voice that could only be heard by a puppy: "There is a prohibition on the dog tag. If you dare to do anything wrong, your soul will be driven away. Next time, don't take your children out to bask in the moon. It's not easy to open your mind. Be sure to be obedient. , the lucky little demon."
The puppy froze, then crawled on the ground, obediently letting Jiu Hui rub its head.
"It's getting late, and it's time for the good kids to go home and sleep." Jiu Hui carried the dog in her left hand and the child in her right hand, and handed them to the patrol: "Can you please send these two little things home."
"Please don't worry, Immortal, I will send them home safely." The patrol leader held the child and got on his horse, then stuffed the yellow dog into the child's arms: "Immortal, please take care of yourself, little ones, take your leave."
"Farewell."
As soon as the people from the City Lord's Mansion left, Elder Mo and three others gathered around.
"Junior sister Jiu Hui, can you touch this shawl of yours?" Luo Yan looked at this ordinary-looking shawl with envy. There were no talisman patterns or spiritual energy on it. No one could tell that it was a piece of silk. A magic weapon.
"Okay." Jiu Hui took off her shawl and stuffed it generously into Luo Yan's arms.
Luo Yan touched it cautiously, touched it boldly, and touched it harder. No matter how he touched it, it was just ordinary fabric, and there was nothing special about it.
"This was also given to you by the elders in the village before you went out?" Really not seeing anything special about the silk, Luo Yan returned the silk to Jiu Hui and looked at the jade hairpin in her hand.
"This is not it." Jiu Hui shook his head and took the shawl: "When I was a child, I was ignorant and liked to play in the river in the village. The village chief was afraid that I would drown in the water, so he tied this around my waist. The village chief said, this is my great-grandfather. His grandfather left it to him, and he gave it to me since he had no children.”
"Then this hairpin..."
"Grandpa Bu gave this to me on my fifteenth birthday. It's a family heirloom that his family has given to his daughter-in-law from generation to generation. He said that his hair had turned gray and he hadn't found a wife yet, so he just gave it to me."
Chang He: "Junior sister Jiu Hui, why don't you write a letter back and ask the elders in the village if they are interested in having a godson?"
Luo Yan glared at him.
"And my god-granddaughter."
Jiu Hui silently hid the jade hairpin in the storage ring: "Elder, why are you and senior brothers and sisters here?"
Changhe, Luoyan: "..."
The junior sister's change of topic was not abrupt at all.
"If you notice there is evil in the city, come and have a look." Elder Mo's eyes were very kind. What a lovely child. Wherever the moonlight shines on her, it is clearly the colorful spiritual light of the magic weapon, and it is brilliant golden light. !
"Fortunately, you have the skills to control these three evil demons." Elder Mo waved his sleeves and turned the corpses of the three bats into ashes: "I haven't mastered the skills yet, so I never noticed your skills."
"I'm not good at cultivation. Before I went out, Uncle Long was afraid that I would attract the attention of evil spirits, so he gave me a bracelet to hide my cultivation." Jiu Hui pulled up her sleeves and wore an inconspicuous bracelet on her white wrist: "This is it."
Elder Mo, Changhe, and Luoyan: "..."
No, what a wealthy village this is, how dare you raise children like this?
"Let's go back and talk." Elder Mo smiled: "The moonlight is so beautiful, so walk back slowly."
The night was quiet, with the occasional sound of barking dogs and babies crying. Those who were still sleeping did not know that if Jiu Hui and others were not in the city today, their city would fall into a bloody nightmare.
"Fortunately, we stayed in the city today, and you stopped the evil evil in time, otherwise many people in this city would have lost their lives." Elder Mo looked at Jiu Hui with relief: "Our sect values not being the first to do anything. "It's very valuable to lend a helping hand in times of crisis, but when you can't defeat someone, you have to run."
"Yes." Jiu Hui nodded: "I understand. If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood."
"It's good to understand this truth." Elder Mo said with a smile: "We Wangshu Pavilion has been established for two thousand years. Although we have not been able to stand proudly in the entire world of immortality, we have never stopped the inheritance. When you become a disciple, you will understand why the sect is It has been passed down for so many years.”
"Junior sister, are the elders in your village all casual cultivators who know how to practice?"
"Not at all."
"Then who taught you your skills?"
"Each of them teaches a little, and I learn a little every day." Jiu Hui frowned: "But I am not very good at studying. My cultivation has not improved much in the past two years, so the elders asked me to come out to learn from my master."
The village chief grandpa said that it is not her problem that her cultivation level is not improving, it is because they did not teach her well. There are many powerful immortal cultivators outside the village, and there must be a master who can help her become more powerful.
"Ah, this..." Luo Yan turned around and glanced at Elder Mo secretly. Was it a little presumptuous to bring Jiu Hui back to their sect?
"Don't worry, our teachers at Wangshu Pavilion all love their disciples like their own children, and the sect is your home." Elder Mo said confidently, "If you want to learn anything, every elder is willing to teach you."
"Yes!" Jiu Hui nodded, "Thank you, elder."
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Elder Mo rubbed his hands and smiled: "Can you lend me your butcher knife?"
"Pig-killing knife?" Chang He's eyes widened in surprise: "The person who stabbed the demon sect's protector in the waist was Junior Sister Jiu Hui?!"
"You really didn't recognize it?" Elder Mo reached out and struck Changhe's head hard: "No one in my sect can recognize me, so what use do you have?"
"Then why did you ask where the junior sister was?" Chang He muttered, covering his head.
"What? Do you want everyone to know that the person who can hurt the Demon Sect's protector is your junior sister?" Elder Mo said confidently: "Don't look at the calmness of those big sect disciples when they left, I can guarantee that They will definitely send people to secretly go back to look for traces of Jiu Hui."
"They want to poach people?" Chang He did not doubt his master's words: "These big sects are really dirty."
"The most important thing is." Jiu Hui explained: "I am afraid that people from the Demon Cult will seek revenge from me, so I asked my senior brother and sister to keep this matter a secret."
"Junior sister, don't worry, one of the strengths of our Wangshu Pavilion is our unity." Luo Yan rolled up Jiu Hui's sleeves: "No matter what happens, as long as you don't agree, it will never spread outside the sect."
"Thank you, Senior Sister Luoyan." Jiu Hui took out the butcher's knife from the storage ring and handed it to Elder Mo: "This is the butcher's knife that Uncle Liu has used for decades. He said that the knife with countless pig lives on it is very evil. , can be left on the body to ward off evil spirits and suppress evil spirits.”
"Isn't it a magic weapon?" Elder Mo looked at the curled and rusty pig-killing knife, and it seemed ordinary to him.
"No." Jiu Hui shook her head: "In addition to carrying bricks, Uncle Liu usually takes this knife to help people kill pigs. Our village is a relatively poor one and we don't have that much money to buy magic weapons."
No, no, you may have some wrong understanding of poverty.
Elder Mo watched Jin Qida and Jiu Hui earnestly explain the poverty of the village, and began to doubt life.
"It's over for tonight. You help Tianhe City kill the bat demon. The city lord will definitely come to visit us tomorrow. If you don't want to cause trouble, we can choose to leave now." Elder Mo was very afraid that someone would come to steal people from them.
"Elder." Jiu Hui was about to nod when she suddenly stopped and looked at the three masters and apprentices: "Do you feel that something is missing?"
"What's missing?" Elder Mo returned the butcher's knife to Jiu Hui: "Is there a magic weapon that you forgot to take back?"
"It seems..." Jiu Hui frowned and thought, and after a while: "Is there one person missing?"
Across the street, Zhiyou, dressed in light-colored robes and holding a glazed lamp, stood under the eaves. Hearing their conversation, he looked at them calmly: "Back?"
The wind blew the red tassel under the glass lamp, but the candlelight in the glass lamp did not waver at all.
Elder Mo and the other three: "..."
My conscience hurts, they really forgot someone.
"Do you want to leave now?" Zhiyou walked up to the four of them, his eyes swept over the four of them, and finally fell on Jiu Hui.
Jiu Hui did not avoid his gaze. The two looked at each other for a moment. Zhi You looked away and handed the glass lamp to her: "Next time you go out alone, remember to bring a lamp."
"This lamp is so beautiful." Jiu Hui raised the lamp and took a closer look: "It doesn't seem like the candles are burning inside. What is it?"
"I don't remember the name." Zhiyou frowned slightly and thought for a moment to no avail: "But it's just good for lighting at night."
"I know what it's called." Changhe swallowed: "It's called Nocturne."
"The name is also nice." Jiu Hui shook the lamp, and the night glow stone rolled around inside, making a gurgling sound.
"Don't shake it, don't shake it." Luo Yan held Jiu Hui's hand tremblingly: "Take it easy, don't break it!"
It's expensive!
"You like this kind of stone very much?" Zhiyou didn't seem to understand why they were interested in this kind of stone that had no use except for glowing, so he took out a large handful from the storage ring and handed it to Luo Yan: "Here. you."
Luo Yan: "..."
Changhe: "..."
Elder Mo: "..."
How could they forget Zhiyou just now? !
They are guilty, they are guilty, and they really deserve to die!
Is this their junior brother and sister? No, this is their God of Wealth!
Elder Mo silently spread layer after layer of thick blankets on the gourd. It was cold at night, but the two golden knots of their sect could not be frozen.
The hope for the sect to get rid of poverty and become rich is now!
