Chapter 31 Live Color
On the night of Yin Sui's birthday, he fell asleep on that hard bed.
He was quite used to it, and he felt good hugging the quilt that was like frozen tofu, his eyes were shining brightly in the darkness, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.
Jiang Shuo at the side turned over and over very lightly many times, Yin Sui sensed his discomfort, subconsciously stretched out his hand to support Jiang Shuo's waist, and said in a low voice, "Master?"
"Huh...?" Jiang Shuo was really sleepy, but he couldn't fall asleep freely. Half asleep, half awake, he felt the little apprentice touching his waist, and he asked unconsciously, "Is it cold?"
Yin Sui half propped himself up, first pulled back Jiang Shuo's pillow that was about to fall off the bed, then lowered his upper body, and asked worriedly in Jiang Shuo's ear, "Shall we go back to Jiuhua first?"
There is a restriction in the Jiuhua sect, you can't use the teleportation talisman to go back to Qutai directly, but at least there is no problem going up the mountain, it's just...
Yin Sui looked at the people around him who were too sleepy to keep their eyes open, thought about it, and gave up the idea.
Jiang Shuo's sleep is not good, or it may be caused by being disturbed by monsters in his dreams many times. He sleeps very lightly, and will wake up with a little noise.
Yin Sui distributed all the quilts over there, and stretched out another hand, hanging under the quilt to hold it loosely, fearing that the cold and hard quilt would press Jiang Shuo.
Yin Sui once heard people say that he would have nightmares when he was sleeping with a heavy object on his heart.
Although he had no chance to verify this rumor, after all, no matter whether there was something on his body or not, his dreams were never good.
——But Jiang Shuo was afraid of having nightmares.
While Yin Sui was thinking wildly, he couldn't help taking out the little rabbit from under the pillow with his other free hand.
The ugly wooden rabbit, but Yin Sui kept looking at it with pleasure through the faint moonlight outside the window.
This ear is longer than that one, as if the tip of the ear was accidentally cut off... This rabbit's legs are too fat, it looks a bit uncoordinated... Tail, where's the tail?does it have a tail
Yin Sui studied this sound transmission talisman for a long time, and was finally satisfied. He was about to put it away when he suddenly remembered something and paused.
After a while, he stuffed the sound transmission talisman back under the pillow, then grabbed Jiang Shuo's hand under the quilt, and gently pulled it towards him.
Jiang Shuo's fingers were long and slender, like white jade green onions, but Yin Sui didn't pay attention to them at all. He frowned and stared at them for a long time, making sure that there were many small wounds on his fingertips that were not easy to detect.
After he made such a fuss, Jiang Shuo opened his eyes in a daze, only to find that the boy was leaning against the head of the bed in an awkward position, holding his hand in a daze.
Jiang Shuo blinked his misty eyes, then naturally raised his hand, stroking the little apprentice's hair, and coaxed helplessly: "Aren't you sleeping yet? I have to get up early and go back tomorrow."
Yin Sui lowered his eyelashes, responded with a low voice, and finally lay down on the bed obediently, but he still held Jiang Shuo's hand.
Jiang Shuo was also really sleepy, he didn't notice the little apprentice's movements at all, and soon fell into a light sleep.
And Yin Sui lay on the side with his eyes open, quietly looking at Jiang Shuo's profile, and after a long while, he obediently closed his eyes.
Early the next day, Jiang Shuo and the two returned to Jiuhua.
As soon as he entered the small courtyard of Qutai, Yin Sui frowned. He caught a glimpse of a person wearing a Jiuhua disciple's uniform standing inside, and subconsciously thought it was Qifeng again.
But when the man turned around, even Jiang Shuo was surprised: "Yu Pu?"
Yu Pu, who hadn't seen him for a long time, turned pale, and his tall and tall figure seemed to have lost a lot of weight. He watched Jiang Shuo walk in from a distance, and bowed solemnly, "Yu Pu...has seen Master."
Jiang Shuo didn't let him kneel down, he stretched out his hand to stop him, looked down at him and asked, "Have you cleared your cold poison?"
Ever since the accident in the Demon Locking Tower, when Yu Pu went to the top of Muyun Peak to invite Dong Yan out of the pass, but was unconscious due to the cold poison, he had spent almost two months in the Pharmacy Hall.
"The cold poison has been cleared," Yu Pu stood in the courtyard and said in a low voice, "I came here this time to thank Master for saving her life."
Jiang Shuo sighed, "It's good that it's okay, Xie En doesn't need it. Let's talk in the room."
After walking a few steps, Yu Pu realized that there was someone behind Jiang Shuo belatedly.
The young man has a pair of black eyes, and a naturally lovable and well-behaved face, but his eyes don't look very friendly, staring at Yu Pu vigilantly, almost walking close to Jiang Shuo.
Yu Pu was in a coma for a long time, his brain turned slowly, and it took him a while to react, and said, "This is Yu Yun's junior brother?"
Yin Sui snorted in response.
Yu Pu scratched his head, smiled and said, "I heard that my junior brother has broken through and entered the golden core stage, and his talent is extremely high. From this point of view, when it comes to trials in the secret realm, my junior brother will definitely be able to get a good ranking."
Yin Sui didn't take his praise seriously.
The triennial secret realm trial in the cultivation world has lasted for hundreds of years, and Yin Sui in his previous life had also participated in it several times.It's just the competition among the disciples of the various sects. It's not necessarily helpful to talk about the cultivation base.
Jiang Shuo sat down in the room, raised his hand and poured Yu Pu a cup of hot tea, and said, "Aren't you going?"
Yu Pu shook his head: "I heard that the rules of the trial at the end of this year have changed slightly. Each sect has to limit the number of disciples participating. I'm just recovering from my injury, so I don't want to hold back."
Jiang Shuo also didn't know much about this trial, so he removed the subject and asked Yu Pu again: "It doesn't matter if you wake up, how did you get the cold poison on the top of Muyun Peak that day, do you still remember?"
Yu Pu was stunned for a moment.
He lowered his head, reached for the teacup, held the small white porcelain cup tightly with his palm, and said after a long while, "That day, my disciple...shortly after going to the top of Muyun Peak, there was a heavy snowfall. My disciple was negligent for a while. , and failed to defend against the cold in time, then... he was poisoned by the cold."
Yin Sui glanced at him, thinking that this man is really funny, even lying so obviously.
Jiang Shuo frowned, and said softly, "Did no one attack you?"
Just because of the sudden drop in the outside temperature, will a disciple with a solid cultivation base suffer from cold poison?Sounds like freezing a monk badly injured because he was too cold to wear two extra layers of clothing.
Yu Pu fell silent.
Seeing that he didn't want to speak, Jiang Shuo didn't force him.After a few words of concern about the injury, Jiang Shuo went back to the house and fetched a good pill, handed it to Yu Pu, and told him: "Rest after you go back, your body is important."
Yu Pu stood up with a heavy heart, took the pill, lowered his eyes and said: "Thank you, Master, the disciple is going back first."
He walked out of Qutai and saw the quiet peach blossom forest outside, and he let out a long sigh of relief.
It wasn't that he didn't want to tell Jiang Shuo the truth, but the person who shot and seriously injured him... Yu Pu shuddered subconsciously and didn't dare to think about it.
I hope it's just that the master was negligent for a while and didn't see clearly who he is... Yu Pu thought.
Otherwise, once word spread that Dongyan Immortal Venerable was out of control, Yu Pu couldn't imagine what chaos would be like in the sect.
In the afternoon, Jiang Shuo received several letters from other sects.
Take it apart and look at it, the content is to invite Jiuhua to participate, and several major cultivation sects work together to undertake the triennial secret realm trial, so as to urge young disciples to grow faster and so on.
Jiang Shuo read them one by one, put one of the letters on the table, tapped twice with his fingertips, his eyes pensive.
This letter comes from Xuanji Sect, another sect that has gained fame in the cultivation world in recent years. Even the number of disciples and the scope of influence seem to surpass Jiuhua. for oneself.
And in the letter, Xuanji mentioned that they have found a quiet and good place this year, which can be used as a place for the trial of the secret realm, so this trial can be led by them.
Jiang Shuo folded the letter in two and sighed lightly.
The incident at the Demon Locking Tower had just ended, and the Jiuhua sect was still in the midst of cultivation, so it was common for other sects to preempt the opportunity to preside over the trial.
It's just that Jiuhua hosted it in previous years, and the form of the trial and the ranking rewards have become a fixed process.This is the first time that Xuanjimen has held a trial, so what changes will happen?
Jiang Shuo was absent-mindedly thinking about these things, while subconsciously sketching on the letter with a pen, and when he came to his senses, he found that the words "Xuanjimen" had been circled into a ball of ink by him.
Jiang Shuo was stunned for a moment, then put down his pen and pinched the space between his brows with a slight headache.
He can't be blamed for being distracted, but the word "Xuanjimen" is too familiar. It took Jiang Shuo a little time to sort out the memories in his mind.
In the introduction to the original work that Jiang Shuo had read, the reborn Yin Sui went to Xuanjimen after slaughtering Jiuhua.
The sect of Xuanji sect is both good and evil in the original book. After witnessing the terrifying strength of Yin Sui after rebirth, he directly turned against him without principle, and even invited this devil to be the head of Xuanji sect. Location.
After that, there will be years of bloody storms in the cultivation world... Jiang Shuo frowned, simply folded the letter from Xuanji Gate, and was about to throw it aside, when he caught a glimpse of a person coming in from the door out of the corner of his eye.
The little apprentice was holding a box of unknown things, rushed in excitedly, came to Jiang Shuo with bright black eyes, and said, "Master, you have a taste."
Jiang Shuo looked at the small food box and was also curious: "What is it?"
The boy blinked and said proudly, "I made pastries."
Jiang Shuo understood, opened it and saw that it was indeed two square chestnut sweet cakes.
These days, the little apprentice always likes to toss all kinds of pastries. Although Jiang Shuo reasonably suspects that he is just trying to avoid endorsement, but I have to say...they are delicious.
Jiang Shuo took a piece of sweet cake and commented after a while: "Sweet but not greasy, full of fragrance, very delicious."
Yin Sui then pushed the food box in front of him, and sat down on the other side by the way, looking at Jiang Shuo's slightly squinted eyes because he tasted the dessert, and even the corners of the raised eyes were tinged with joyful arcs.
Yin Sui discovered a long time ago that when Jiang Shuo eats sweet pastries, he will show a completely different side from usual.
Those gentle and quiet beautiful eyes will be brought with vivid colors, and the long eyelashes are lowered and raised lazily, which is an unconscious vitality.
...it makes people want to pinch him.
In order to relieve this weird itching, Yin Sui lowered his eyes in a concealed manner, scanning the table, and noticed the half-folded letter by Jiang Shuo.
He looked at Jiang Shuo, then at the letter, tentatively reached out to take the letter, saw that Jiang Shuo didn't stop him, so he opened it and took a look.
Yin Sui frowned.
Xuanjimen...he is no stranger to this name, even more familiar than Jiang Shuo - he was hunted down by the entire cultivation world in his previous life, but there was no movement in this Xuanjimen, so Yin Sui left an impression .
It's just that Yin Sui admired it back then, but thinking about it now, he felt a little more inexplicable disgust.
Unsteady stand, greedy for life and fear of death, unscrupulous, Yin Sui thought, this thing might be a disaster in the future.
"Yun'er?"
When he came back to his senses, Yin Sui heard Jiang Shuo calling him, so he raised his eyes.
Jiang Shuo took the letter in his hand and asked, "Does Yun'er want to participate in this trial?"
Yin Sui had nothing to say: "It's all fine."
"During the trials, there will be treasured classics and spiritual material rewards from various sects," Jiang Shuo thought for a while, and said, "But these are secondary. There are multiple tests in the secret realm trials, and it is a rare opportunity to practice in actual combat. . If you want to go, I will ask them to reserve a spot for you."
Yin Sui was too lazy to go, but after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly asked, "Surname Qi... is Qi Feng going?"
Jiang Shuo was stunned: "He... naturally went. Qi Feng has performed particularly well among the young disciples of this generation, and Dong Yanying will also let him participate in the trial."
Yin Sui: "Then I will go too."
He added: "I can still take first place."
Jiang Shuo: "..."
Because of the little apprentice's inexplicable desire to win, Jiang Shuo had to spare half a day every day to urge Yin Suiqin to practice more exercises.
"I subdued bone yin in the well that day, and I saw that you have learned intermediate and high-level restraint techniques."
The two stood on the fifth floor of Zangshu Pavilion. Jiang Shuo raised his hand to caress the row of dark ancient books in front of him, patted the fine dust on them, and said, "These are ancient books that have been stored for hundreds of years. There are many books in them. Even I can't penetrate the forbidden technique."
"You take a brief look during this time. If there is anything you don't understand, you can record it first, and wait for Dongyan to leave the pass in the future, and then ask."
Ask Dong Yan?Yin Sui thought disapprovingly, it might as well learn by himself.
"I'm on the second floor below, looking for some records of trials in the secret realm." Jiang Shuo said again: "If you have anything to do, come down and find me."
After leaving Yin Sui to study the ancient books alone, Jiang Shuo went to the second floor of the Library Pavilion to find out the records of the last three trials in the secret realm, and began to read them in the sunlight outside the window.
The three-year secret trial is a major event in the cultivation world.No matter the school is big or small, they will send experienced elders to lead young disciples to participate in it.
Every time the sect in charge of the trial builds a secret realm, the secret realm contains hundreds of magic circles, illusions, etc. When the disciples enter it, they usually follow the established path. ranking.
And the disciples who get good rankings can independently choose one of the treasures offered by each sect as rewards.
Jiang Shuo looked through the records from three years ago, and found that the disciple who won the first place last time took Jiuhua as a reward for the millennium elixir, and that night his cultivation base broke through two great realms, but because he failed to withstand the thunder tribulation, he unexpectedly He was hacked to death.
Jiang Shuo: "..."
It seems that to be No.1, in addition to strength, you also need to have a little brain.
Three years ago, the first disciple who left the secret realm picked up the ancient sword of Xuanjimen, but failed to control the strength of the sword spirit, so he handed over the ancient sword to the sect and became the sect's treasure.
Jiang Shuo read through the records of the previous ten trials in the secret realm with the mentality of reading the gossip, and when he was still about to finish, he suddenly received a voice transmission from Qifeng.
Qifeng asked: "I just received a letter from the pigeon. We Jiuhua are looking for a treasure to send to the Xuanji Gate as a reward for the trial in half a month. Do you have any suggestions?"
Jiang Shuo himself didn't even know what treasures Jiuhua had, so after thinking about it, he simply asked Qifeng, "Do you have any alternatives at hand?"
Qi Feng unfolded the paper in his hand, and said: "Si Baotang made a list, on which there are two ancient books of "Soul Removal", and a piece of cloth with a golden bell cover, which is used to refine monsters..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly disappeared, Jiang Shuo raised his head in confusion, and subconsciously said, "Qi Feng?"
There was no sound at the other end.
Jiang Shuo was worried about what happened to Qifeng's side, and was about to get up and go out of the Library Pavilion to have a look, when he glanced out the window by accident and stopped suddenly.
It was clearly noon just now, but now there are many shadows outside the screen window, and at a glance, it is actually boundless and thick ink.
When did... enter the magic circle?
