The sun had already set, and only a corner of the horizon was left with the afterglow of the setting sun. Qingye Tianqi and Zi Nanxiang came to the back hill of Chaoxiguan, where they sat on a big stone, with their shoulders between them.
The distance was less than a foot, and the conversation started again.
Zi Nanxiang: "What have you been busy with recently? I went to the mountains several times to fetch water and I didn't meet you..."
Aoba Tianqi: "I'm studying. Although I'm not a good reader, I really don't have anything else to do."
Zi Nanxiang: "Is it difficult to study?"
Aoba Tianqi: "It may not be difficult for others, but it is indeed difficult for me."
Zi Nanxiang: "Hey, everyone is different and has their own strengths. No one is perfect."
Qingye Tianqi: "Hey... I hope so."
Zi Nanxiang: "What's wrong with you? In my impression, you have always been very confident."
Qingye Tianqi: "Haha, no matter what, I was just teasing you for a while. In fact, I am just an ordinary person with no other merits."
Zi Nanxiang: "..."
There was a brief silence between the two, and then Zi Nanxiang broke the silence again.
Zi Nanxiang: "Qingye, why are you here today?"
Qingye Tianqi: "What do you think?"
Zi Nanxiang: "I don't know. I admit that I was very happy when I saw you, but I still have such doubts in my heart, so... can you tell me the reason?"
Qingye Tianqi: "If I told you that I was known by the temple owner because of a sudden burst of spiritual power, so he agreed to join Chaoxi Temple, would you believe it?"
Zi Nanxiang: "..., letter."
After a short silence, he gave an affirmative answer.
Aoba Tianqi: "Hahaha, it's so funny how serious you are."
Zi Nanxiang: "What! Are you lying to me?"
Qingye Tianqi: "Hahaha, I'm joking, there's no way I can have a spiritual power explosion, I'm just talking nonsense, you believe it, I'm convinced."
Zi Nanxiang: "Then why?"
Qingye Tianqi: "To repay the favor!"
He suddenly stopped smiling, but his serious expression was still very handsome.
Zi Nanxiang: "Repay the favor?"
Qingye Tianqi: "Yes, didn't you come here to catch monsters in the academy before? It's because you caught the monsters that I was able to come out of the room, so I want to repay your kindness and come here to help today.
Doing some bad words and stuff like that.”
Zi Nanxiang: "Hehe, not bad, not bad. He is an honest young man."
Qingye Tianqi: "Haha."
Zi Nanxiang: "By the way, does my master know?"
Aoba Tianqi: "I know, and she has agreed to let me work here as a handyman for three months."
Zi Nanxiang: "Eh?! Three months?"
Aoba Tianqi: "Yes, you don't have to worry about it for three months. I'm still pretty strong, so this kind of rough work is nothing to me."
Zi Nanxiang: "No, I want to say, will you come to meditate every day for three months?"
Aoba Tianqi: "Every day? I can't even say every day, but there are always three or five days a week."
Zi Nanxiang: "Hey, three or five days is too little. Let's do it six or seven days a week."
Aoba Tianqi: "What? Let me tell you, you are too cruel. Even though I am here to repay your kindness, you can't use me as a slave."
Zi Nanxiang: "Bah, bah, bah, what a slave! What I mean is that it will be good for you to spend more time in meditation!"
Qingye Tianqi: "Benefits?"
Zi Nanxiang: "Yes, it's good."
Aoba Apocalypse: "How specific?"
Zi Nanxiang: "..., I haven't thought about this yet."
Qingye Tianqi: "Speechless, you are teasing me."
He curled his lips helplessly.
Zi Nanxiang didn't know what to say, so he could only lower his head and think about how to persuade Qingye Tianqi.
Qingye Tianqi: "Speaking of which...if I come to Guanzhong to work as a handyman, can you secretly teach me martial arts?"
Zi Nanxiang: "Huh?"
Looking at Qingye Tianqi with a serious look on his face, Zi Nanxiang's eyes sparkled.
Zi Nanxiang: "You want to learn martial arts from me?"
Qingye Tianqi: "Yes, actually I was thinking that your ability to catch monsters is so strong. If I can learn something from you, maybe after three months, the master will really agree to me joining the court."
Where is Xiguan?"
Zi Nanxiang: "Yes, yes, that's it. You can learn martial arts from me. Maybe in the process, your spiritual power will be stimulated? Are you right?"
Qingye Tianqi: "Hahaha, I think so too. It seems that the heroes have the same idea."
Zi Nanxiang: "Hey."
At this time, behind a big tree not far away, a figure stood there, listening to the conversation between the two. In the picture, we could only see that she was wearing a pair of women's cloth shoes.
Qingye Tianqi: "By the way, Zi Nan, I have read in martial arts novels that the martial arts in general sects are kept secret. Now I am not a disciple of the Soul Dao. If you secretly teach my martial arts, will it be wrong?
Will it violate the house rules?"
Zi Nanxiang: "Hey, no, I am the senior sister and I have the final say."
The smile on his face couldn't be stopped at all.
Qingye Tianqi: "I heard from some sisters that you have been in a bad mood recently. I actually... blame myself very much. I guess the reason why you are in a bad mood is because you spoke for me and angered the viewer. Then
The temple owner scolded you or something..."
Zi Nanxiang: "No, no, you are overthinking. My master will not blame me for this. I am in a bad mood because...it is because..."
Zi Nanxiang, who was suddenly speechless, blushed for a while.
Qingye Tianqi: "Because of what?"
Zi Nanxiang: "Hey, it's nothing."
Qingye Tianqi: "Ha? Zi Nan! You can actually hide your thoughts? Hahaha, it seems like the child has grown up!"
Zi Nanxiang: "You found it!"
As Aoye Tianqi got up and ran away, Zi Nanxiang was chasing after him. The two of them didn't seem to mind the difference between men and women, they just teased each other and played around.
Zhong Guwei: "Hey...Yuanjie, Yuanjie, Xiang'er, I really hope you can protect yourself and don't sink like this."
The figure who had just been hiding behind the tree had now arrived on a high hill. Looking at the two people in the distance, he couldn't help but feel worried.
Aoba Tianqi family.
When Aoba Tianqi rushed home, his parents had already had dinner. When Aoba's mother saw her son coming back, she hurried over.
Aoba's mother: "Apocalypse! You're going crazy here after school!"
Aoba Tianqi: "No, I have serious things to do."
Aoba's mother: "Serious business? You are still a student now, and your serious business is studying, but I don't think you came back so late because of studying!"
Qingye Tianqi: "Please, I don't want to explain to you, I have to go back to my room."
Qingye's mother: "Go back to your room? You didn't even eat dinner? Do you want to cultivate immortality?"
Qingye Tianqi: "I've eaten it."
Aoba’s mother: “Where did you eat?”
Qingye Tianqi: "Didn't you just say that I want to become an immortal? Of course I went to the mountains to visit other immortal friends and we ate together."
Aoba's mother: "Oh my, you brat can talk nonsense! You won't be able to win over your mother-in-law in the future with your appearance!"
Qingye Tianqi: "If I can't ask for it, I can't ask for it. I will live alone. Anyway, people come into this world quietly alone, and then leave quietly alone. There is no difference."
Ignoring his mother's preaching, Aoba Tianqi strode to the second floor and went straight to his room. After entering the room, he casually threw his schoolbag aside, then unbuckled his student uniform and threw it away.
He sat on a chair beside him, then lit a candle, took out the martial arts novel that he had read countless times, and read it with gusto by candlelight again. At this moment, the martial arts dream in his heart was once again ignited.
.
View of the morning sun on Huashan Mountain.
At this time, Huashan Mountain has been shrouded in night, but there are still candles burning in the Huashan Dawn Temple. Before going to bed, the female disciples habitually go to the temple's bathhouse to take a bath. This is the most relaxing time of the day for everyone.
At that time, because the bathhouse pool was very large, ten people could enter at the same time without feeling crowded, so a group of fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls immersed their bodies in the hot water together to feel the satisfaction brought by taking a bath.
The pool was filled with white mist, making it difficult for us to see clearly what was going on in the water. We could only barely see the white shoulders and hear chatter and laughter in the mist.
At this time, in a single room, a woman was sitting at a table with her back to us, combing her long hair in front of the mirror. The room looked a bit shabby, with almost no furnishings, not even a decent picture.
There is no dressing table, and the quality of the glass mirror is very ordinary, but even so, it still cannot conceal the beauty of the woman. At the age of seventeen, this is the age when flowers begin to bloom, and the hands combing her black hair look particularly bright.
She is fair and wears a common women's nightgown. The pure white nightgown does not have any patterns, but the woman's slender waist and well-developed hip curves will still deeply attract the attention of men, and
This woman is Zi Nanxiang.
At this time, Zi Nanxiang was looking at herself in the mirror. Before meeting Qingye Tianqi, she had never cared about her appearance so much. She had always been a woman who was diligent in practicing the soul path, but she didn't know why.
, after meeting Aoye Apocalypse, she also had the habit of looking in the mirror before going to bed. She didn't know why this happened, because she grew up in the temple and had almost no chance to interact with boys, so she didn't know
What kind of girl would be popular with boys? She didn’t have an objective understanding of her appearance. Zi Nanxiang in the mirror pursed her lips and sighed helplessly, because she was not sure about her appearance either.
Whether it was good or not, Master had briefly talked to her about the difference between men and women, and she had no intention of studying it in depth. Of course, this was before...
Zi Nanxiang lowered her head slightly and looked at the rise and fall of her chest. She knew that it was an unavoidable change for a woman, but for some reason, she still felt embarrassed because the rise and fall gradually became fuller, and this
Her appearance would also become an obstacle when practicing martial arts, which made her feel quite embarrassed.
Zi Nanxiang: "This kid Qingye is really extraordinary. He actually came here to work as a handyman just to see me! He also said he wanted to learn martial arts from me? Do you really think I can't see his true intention? But
Then again, I don't mind teaching him... If he can successfully join the Soul Tao, then in the future, maybe... he and I can become Tao partners? Ah! God, what am I thinking! It's so embarrassing
Dead people!"
While muttering to himself, he blushed and ran back to the bed, covering his face with the quilt.
The next day comes.
Before five o'clock in the morning, Aoba Apocalypse got up from the bed, washed and dressed and went out. At this time, Aoba's mother had just started to make breakfast. Seeing that her son got up so early today,
Aoba's mother couldn't react for a moment, but when she saw Aoba Tianqi running out of the house, she hurriedly called him.
Qingye's mother: "Tianqi, what's wrong with you? Why did you get up so early today? Didn't you have breakfast?"
Standing in front of the door and shouting.
Aoba Tianqi: "No, I'll buy something to eat on the way. I'm going to the academy."
He waved back without looking back, and then ran away from Aoba's mother's sight.
Qingye's mother: "What's wrong with this child? I've never seen him get up so early! He still goes to study... Could it be that he's enlightened?"
He muttered to himself with a look of disbelief.
At this time, a young man's figure was running on the street. Fortunately, there were not so many people in the morning. I don't know where he bought the meat buns. At this time, he was walking quickly while eating the meat buns on his hand. They had just come out of the pot.
The big meat buns are two or three times bigger than Qingye Tianqi's fist. They are stuffed with beef and onions. When you take a bite, your mouth will be full of oil, not to mention how fragrant it is.
When Qingye Tianqi came to the foot of Huashan Mountain, he hadn't finished eating the meat buns in his hands. He looked up at the high stone steps in the mountain. Qingye Tianqi calmed down and walked down the mountain with one hand in a serious manner.
The abdomen slowly rises, and when it has just passed the top of the head, it slowly falls back, just like a knight in a martial arts novel who is exercising his Dantian Qi.
Qingye Tianqi: "From today on, I will practice hard. My goal is to be a great hero. That's right! Hero Qingye!"
He murmured with a very chubby expression.
Then when Qingye Tianqi opened his eyes again, he couldn't help but have an embarrassed look on his face.
Opposite him, less than six feet away, a girl of similar age was standing there, looking at him curiously, and this girl was Aoye Apocalypse's true destiny, Wei Yeyi.
At this time, Iori Azuha was holding back a smile as he looked at his somewhat middle-class behavior.
Aoba Tianqi didn't know what to say for a moment. He just felt that the stupid thing he had done had been discovered by someone, or by the one he loved. He felt so hot on his face that he dared not speak.
Aoba Iori didn't say anything, just smiled slightly, and then pointed to the stone steps going up the mountain with his finger. Aoye Apocalypse nodded awkwardly, and then the two of them walked up the mountain one after another, probably because
Because they were familiar with each other, even if Aoba Apocalypse walked very close behind Iori Aoba, Iori Aoye didn't mind anything and walked forward naturally, but Aoba Apocalypse did not.
The distance between the two people is very different from yesterday. When I went to see the morning sun with Iori Iori, I deliberately kept a distance of about eight or nine feet, but today the distance between the two people is very different.
The distance quickly shortened to less than three feet away. Walking behind her, he saw that as she walked, the light yellow hair tie on her head was swaying gently, and her thick black hair was
It also exuded a good smell. At this moment, I suddenly felt that the meat bun in my hand was no longer fragrant, so I hurriedly stuffed it into my book bag, and then drank it with my nose while walking, and it floated from Iori Awei's hair.
The light fragrance, smelling this smell, made me feel inexplicably very good, so the two of them walked to Huashan Chaoxuan in silence all the way.
At this time, in a dense forest not far from Chaoxi View in Huashan Mountain, a 17- or 18-year-old woman was sitting cross-legged on a big rock, letting the morning breeze blow the hair around her ears, and a few strands of hair were blown away.
The black hair brushing her face, but it could only block some of her face, but it brought out the woman's good looks. She was Zi Nanxiang. She was taking the morning breath at this time, and she was concentrating on incorporating the internal skills of the breath taking method into her body.
In operation, Zi Nanxiang, as a disciple of the Soul Dao, is good at martial arts but weak at Taoism. This has always been something she cares about. She went out of her way to thank her master for what happened yesterday, but Zhong Guwei didn't say too much.
What I said was that I just reminded her not to neglect her practice, and once again suggested that she should spend some time on Taoism to avoid being too strong in martial arts and too weak in Taoism, which would lead to deformed cultivation. Although Master has said this several times before
Zi Nanxiang always disapproved of it every time, but this time it was a little different. She accepted the guidance humbly, and then began to try to improve her own shortcomings, which was the practice of Soul Dao.
Today's Huashan Chaoxiguan miscellaneous team is still the same as yesterday. Among the three female disciples, Ning Yujinxuan is more familiar to Qingye Tianqi, while the other two female disciples are probably a little familiar with each other.
There was almost no contact with Aoba Apocalypse. He just said hello politely, and then everyone got busy. Aoye Apocalypse took the initiative to take on the heavier responsibility of carrying water, so he picked up the pole and chose two large ones.
He was about to go down the mountain to fetch water, but was stopped by Ning Yujinxuan.
Ning Yujinxuan: "Oh, as expected of a boy, he actually chose two big buckets to carry water."
Aoba Tianqi: "Of course, a manly man cannot choose two small buckets to carry water like you do, otherwise not only will he lose his momentum, but his efficiency will also be slower."
Ning Yujinxuan: "Okay, I'll go with you and let them stay here to do other things."
Qingye Tianqi: "No problem, I listen to you."
In this way, Ning Yujinxuan chose two small wooden barrels, and then followed Qingye Tianqi down the mountain to fetch water from the stream.
The two of them were talking and laughing along the way, and there was no awkwardness or awkwardness at all.
Aoba Tianqi: "I thought I would be the first one to come to the kitchen, but I didn't expect you guys to be earlier than me."
Ning Yujinxuan: "Of course, we all live in Guanzhong, and when we are on duty, we have to get up at 4:20 in the morning."
Aoba Tianqi: "Ah? So early? Aren't you sleepy?"
Ning Yujinxuan: "I'm not sleepy. We all go to bed extra early at night when we are on duty."
Qingye Tianqi: "That's it."
Ning Yujinxuan: "Have you eaten in the morning?"
Qingye Tianqi: "I ate two meat buns on the way."
Ning Yujinxuan: "Hey, handyman work is also very hard, especially if you do it so seriously, you will get hungry soon. Let's have breakfast with everyone later. Eat more!"
Aoba Tianqi: "Haha, it's necessary, by the way! Are you cooking today too?"
Ning Yujinxuan: "Yes, I still cook, they are not very good at it."
Qingye Tianqi: "Okay, the food you cook is quite delicious, I like it very much."
Ning Yujinxuan: "As long as you like it, my cooking skills are actually very average. Thank you for your support."
Qingye Tianqi: "Hahaha, you're welcome, I'm telling the truth."
Ning Yujinxuan: "By the way, the handyman you work with will have to change shifts starting tomorrow."
Aoba Apocalypse: "Shift change?"
Ning Yujinxuan: "Yes, there are seventeen female disciples in our temple. They are basically in groups of three, and they rotate every three days. Today is the third day for our group, so we will replace them tomorrow.
It’s a group of people.”
Aoba Tianqi: "Oh... let's change someone. I hope it's a girl who is easy to talk to."
Ning Yujinxuan: "Hmm? Are there any girls who are hard to talk to?"
Aoba Tianqi: "Of course, some girls are very weird. I really can't afford to offend them, but I can't hide them."
Ning Yujinxuan: "Hey, hey, don't say this casually. You must know that everyone is not familiar with you yet. Your first impression is very important at this time. If you are not cautious in your words and deeds, it will easily happen.
It’s a quarrel.”
Aoba Tianqi: "Ah? That's right. I'm new here. If I offend someone I shouldn't offend, I'm afraid my life will be difficult in the future."
Zha Tou said.
Ning Yujinxuan: "Hey, it's not that scary anymore. As long as you pay a little attention, it will be fine. Of course, if you accidentally have a conflict with someone, don't worry. Your relationship with Senior Sister should be pretty good, right? You
You can ask her for help. Of course, if it is something within my ability, I will help you."
Qingye Tianqi: "Eh?! You are really a nice person. You are the first friend I have made since I came to Chaoxi Temple. If you don't mind, can we exchange names?"
Ning Yujinxuan: "Okay, my name is Ning Yujinxuan, what about you?"
Qingye Tianqi: "My name is Qingye Tianqi."
Ning Yujinxuan: "Then I will call you Qingye from now on."
Qingye Tianqi: "No problem, then I'll call you Ning Yu"
Ning Yujinxuan: "Okay."
After the two exchanged names and titles, they officially became friends.
The two of them went up and down the mountain to carry water together throughout the morning. They walked a total of seven or eight times on the mountain road. Soon the several large water tanks in the view were filled with water. This was something they could not usually do. During this period
Although Qingye Tianqi felt a little tired, he insisted on not exchanging burdens with Ning Yujinxuan out of dignity as a man. Ning Yujinxuan saw Qingye Tianqi's stubborn look and felt full of childishness.
The first impression of Qingye Tianqi suddenly became very good. This kind of good feeling is not good between men and women, but close to the good feeling between siblings.
Ning Yujinxuan was indeed a diligent and good girl. As soon as she finished her work of fetching water, she immediately came to the stove in the kitchen and placed a large black iron pot that was twice as big as the wash basin.
On the stove, she was seen skillfully placing cabbage, baby cabbage and a small amount of green and red peppers on the cutting board and quickly cutting them into slices or mince. She was also very careful to do these things in advance.
After putting on a headscarf to prevent anything from falling from the top of his head, he heated the oil in a pot, and then put the vegetables and condiments into the iron pot in an orderly manner.
'Sure enough, as I thought yesterday, no matter who marries her in the future, it will be a blessing.'
Aoba Tianqi watched her cooking seriously, thinking about these things in his heart.
Ning Yujinxuan: "Qingye, if you have time, please help me pull down the wind box."
Suddenly he remembered Aoba Apocalypse. When he looked back at him, he saw him in a bored daze, so he politely spoke to him.
Aoba Tianqi: "Yes, no problem."
After saying that, he jumped up and ran to the stove, then sat on the small bench beside him, held the lever of the wind box with both hands, and quickly started pushing and pulling. Although he had been busy all morning, Qingye Tianqi's
There didn't seem to be a big burden on his physical strength. At this time, he rolled up his sleeves and concentrated on blowing air for the stove. At this time, he was wearing a coarse long-sleeved coat. This dress was Ning Yujin's.
Xuan helped him find something to change into so as not to stain his student uniform. When Aoba Apocalypse changed into this outfit, he also took off the middle coat underneath, which meant that Qingye Tianqi at this moment
Ye Tianqi only wore such a small jacket on his upper body, and because it was relatively hot in front of the stove, Aoye Tianqi simply unbuttoned the small jacket, and the fairer skin and muscles formed by regular physical exercise under the small jacket,
They all declare that this young man is not a sickly scholar, but a handsome and handsome boy, especially when Aoba Tenqi pushes and pulls the lever of the wind box, his arms are in good shape and his muscles are in good shape.
All the muscles in the body looked particularly tangible against the backdrop of sweat. This made Ning Yujinxuan, who was standing aside cooking, blush for a moment, but she quickly turned her attention back to the stove.
, and secretly said to himself, "What are you looking at? I'm really not ashamed!".
