After the birthday banquet, Lin Yuqi had no excuse to stay in the devil world. She took Chu Junli and embarked on a journey back to Tianzhaozong.
When she set off, Chu Junli looked at her relaxed and puzzled, and asked, "What about the ten low-level demons before? Going back like this, I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain."
Lin Yuqi didn't say much as to whether it was a rioting artifact or a death row prisoner in the devil's prison.
Back to Tianzhaozong, Lin Yuqi sent Chu Junli to Ziyunju, and then went to report the situation to the head, the other party looked solemn, sighed, and said, "These demons The identity is a mystery and the cultivation method is strange, and the demon world escorts them so frankly, I am afraid there is something strange!"
Lin Yuqi narrowed the look in his eyes, pretending to know nothing: "The head will send someone to interrogate them well, and you will definitely be able to get clues."
Although she knew that Shushu had already changed the memories of those on death row, people in the cultivation world couldn't judge anything.
The head's eyebrows are still tightly locked: "I'm afraid it will be difficult!"
Big devil.
Lin Yuqi felt guilty as a thief, coughed a few times, and said goodbye to the boss on the grounds of being tired on the road.
As she walked out of the hall, the head suddenly stopped her.
Lin Yuqi's heart jumped, and she turned around without changing her face: "Senior brother, what's the matter?"
"The outer disciple who you have been with before," the head pondered, "I think he has a good talent, you ask him if he doesn't want to come to the inner sect?"
This is just a cutscene. Can't the head master think how tempting the inner disciples are to the outer disciples? It's just that he thought that Lin Yuqi had always regarded Chu Junli very seriously. Rather than asking what Chu Junli meant, he was actually asking if Lin Yuqi would like him to worship other elders.
After all, this young apprentice of Jade Chengzhen is no less than most elders.
Lin Yuqi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I will tell him."
When she went to Ziyunju to find Chu Junli, she was told that he had already gone down the mountain.
The disciples who slept in the same bed scrambled to answer her: "Chu Junli took a ten-day leave from teaching."
"It said that I went down the mountain." Another disciple replied quickly.
"Go down the mountain?" The words rolled between her teeth several times, and Lin Yuqi suddenly thought that Chu Junli had said before that he placed Ayao at the foot of the mountain.
It has been a long time since I started, and things have been connected one by one, and I have never seen him go down the mountain to see it.
Lin Yuqi still remembers that Chu Jun told her to stay away from Ayao, but when she thinks of the ten-day vacation, she has been stuck in the golden elixir for a long time, and she will break through soon. When Chu Junli came back, she might be in retreat.
In this case, it is better to tell him the words of the head earlier.
Thinking like this, Lin Yuqi went down Nanyun Mountain and came to the town at the foot of the mountain.
Tianzhaozong is calm and peaceful, a bit boring, but the town at the foot of the mountain is very lively.
There are monks and mortals among them. Lin Yuqi walked through the town and listened to the conversations in the street markets on both sides. He couldn't help but laugh.
There are no years on the mountain, the immortals come to the town with faces that will never age, but they don't know what is right and what is wrong. Time flies.
I saw a small stall with jade pieces, an old man with a gully and a white beard, pulling an immortal king who was no more than thirty years old to say hello.
The old man smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Xianjun, I saw you when I was a child."
He stretched his hand across his waist: "At that time, I was only so tall, just as tall as my grandson."
Before he finished speaking here, he turned to call his little grandson who was still playing in the mud: "Zhuzi, come and see Xianjun, he is an old acquaintance of grandpa!"
Xianjun, who was held down, looked embarrassed, obviously unable to accept the enthusiastic bombardment of the old man, not to mention being given the title of "old acquaintance".
Lin Yuqi couldn't help laughing and laughed, thinking that this old man was really too cute.
The laughter was not too small or not, which attracted the Xianjun to look at her. When she saw her appearance, she immediately nodded and called out respectfully:
"Uncle Lin."
Lin Yuqi: ...you have been practicing for more than a few decades, how come you are lower than me?
However, she couldn't undermine the confidence of the younger generation, she smiled and nodded to show her kindness.
"Uncle Lin went down the mountain to buy things and told the disciples, and the disciples will serve you."
He looked respectful, and there was a light called "filial piety" in his eyes.
Lin Yuqi coughed embarrassedly: "I'm here to find someone."
"Who is the uncle looking for? I am familiar with this town, and I know whoever the uncle asks."
Lin Yuqi was silent for a while... No wonder this disciple practiced slowly, because he was distracted by mortal affairs.
Seeing that she didn't speak, the man rolled his eyes and said ambiguously, "Uncle Chu is looking for Junior Brother Chu, right?"
Lin Yuqi: "...Well."
The disciple in front of him covered his lips and smiled, with a strange expression, and pointed to a pharmacy on the corner of the street in the distance: "Junior Brother Chu went there, and I said hello to him just now."
He nodded knowingly: "There are many eyes and ears in the sect, and Ziyunju and Xuantian Peak are far apart. It's the Qixi Festival in the past two days, and this town is bustling."
After he finished speaking, his cheeks were red, as if thinking of something strange, he glanced at Lin Yuqi shyly and timidly: "Uncle Lin really knows how to play."
"..." Lin Yuqi's scalp was numb from the look in his eyes, and as expected, cultivation must be clear-headed. This disciple is thinking about something messy every day. The door reflects the students' academic problems.
She warned anxiously, "Don't say anything about me going down the mountain."
The disciple responded obediently, watching Lin Yuqi slowly walk away, and disappeared in the pharmacy, he immediately took out the sound transmission jade slip.
He said to the jade slip, "Are you there? The headlines of the next issue of the tabloid are here."
"What headlines?" Opposite is a lazy female voice.
"The big boss Xuantian and the little white rabbit spend the Qixi Festival together, and the Nanyun Mountain is full of affection. How about this title?"
"Really?! Really?!" There was a loud noise from the opposite side, like kicking the low table to the ground.
"Is the message reliable?"
"Of course."
Lin Yuqi followed the direction of the man just now to a small pharmacy at the end of the long street.
It's just a medicinal herb for mortals.
Lin Yuqi wondered, what did Chu Junli come here for? Could it be that Ayao was injured?
She lifted the curtain and stepped over the threshold, and saw a slender girl standing by the counter inside.
As soon as the girl heard someone coming in, she immediately raised her head, her pale little face was beautiful and lovely.
"Brother Yu Qi!" The girl exclaimed overjoyed when she saw her face.
"A Yao?" Lin Yuqi paused for a moment.
"Yes!" Chu Junyao stopped weighing the medicine in her hand, put down the small brass scale, and came over in surprise, "Brother Yuqi, you finally come to see Ayao."
Lin Yuqi pointed to the counter: "Are you...?"
Chu Junyao smiled shyly: "This is the pharmacy that my brother helped me open."
"A Yao is really amazing." Lin Yuqi praised sincerely.
Although this pharmacy is small, it is well-organized, clean and orderly, and Chu Junyao takes care of it very well.
At this time, a man walked in from the back door of the pharmacy. He was dressed in Tsing Yi and had long hair reaching his shoulders. Seeing Lin Yuqi, his eyes widened slightly in surprise: "Why are you here?"
Chu Junyao happily said to her brother, "Brother Yuqi must come to see me."
Staring at Lin Yuqi again and again eagerly: "Really?"
"Well." Lin Yuqi nodded under her eager eyes, "but let me have a few words with your brother first?"
"Okay!" Chu Junyao answered affirmatively, without questioning the truth of Lin Yuqi's words at all, and released the hand that held her arm.
"You can go to the backyard and say it's quiet."
Chu Junli turned slightly and let one person pass: "Come with me."
Lin Yuqi followed him to the backyard of the pharmacy. It was quite spacious, it was a neat and clean small yard, most of the open space was used for drying herbs, and only a round table stone bench was placed in the corner.
Chu Junli sat opposite her and asked, "What's the matter when you came down the mountain?"
He has self-knowledge, and the people in front of him are not ready to come to him.
Lin Yuqi conveyed the head's words to him and asked, "Do you have a favorite teacher? I'll tell you."
Chu Junli listened quietly, lowered his eyes, and rubbed the teacup in his hand: "I don't know the elders in the inner door, so let's talk about it when we are familiar with the situation."
Lin Yuqi nodded noncommittally, this is Chu Junli's private matter, and she doesn't want to intervene.
Taking a sip of the tea in her hand, she suddenly remembered what she saw on the street just now, put down the teacup, and asked Chu Junli, "Ayao's body seems to have improved a lot?"
Chu Junli nodded: "Xu is the supporter of Nanyun Mountain, A Yao has never been seriously ill since he came to Zhongzhou."
"Then she's getting better, have you ever thought about taking her to practice?"
From the scene on the street, Lin Yuqi thought that Chu Junyao is also a mortal who has not cultivated. His life is only a hundred years, which is too short compared to Chu Junli.
She saw that the little girl was well-behaved and cute, and she didn't look like a dull mortal body, and it was not impossible to cultivate.
Chu Junli heard this and shook his head: "Mother said, Ayao doesn't need to practice."
He still remembers that when he was a child, his mother once said that people in the world practice because of the pursuit of longevity. A Yao does not need to practice.
"That's all." Lin Yuqi no longer asked.
At this moment, there was a burst of laughter from the front yard, the voices of two girls.
Lin Yuqi heard a few words and said with peace of mind, "A Yao is very happy here."
Chu Junli frowned and scolded: "She's here again!"
"Who?" Lin Yuqi didn't hear clearly.
"That's it," Chu Junli got up and went to the front yard, "You happen to be here today, help me and her explain things clearly."
Lin Yuqi followed him to the front yard ignorantly. There is only one door between the two courtyards, and now that door has not been closed, only a half-zhang long bead curtain is hung.
So Lin Yuqi saw that in addition to Chu Junyao, there was an ice blue figure standing in the drugstore.
The man's dress gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Opening the bead curtain, Lin Yuqi raised her eyes slightly, just in line with the eyes of the people in the store.
The woman had a crystal forehead ornament on her forehead, covered with ice gauze, only showing a pair of watery eyes, looking at Lin Yuqi with a smile that was not a smile.
