Under the guidance of the maid, Lin Ji returned to the room reserved for herself.
Although the restrictions on the white jade dragon boat were extremely secretive, he still very carefully emitted a stream of spiritual consciousness to seal the surroundings.
Then he took out the small box Geng Ran gave him from his arms.
The box looked ordinary, even a little old.
But it is extremely heavy in the hand.
When I opened it, I found it was half a little finger bone.
It is said to refer to bones, but one does not know how many years have passed and how many springs and autumns have passed. They have long been condensed like jade, and they are faintly exuding an inexplicable divine power.
There was nothing else in the box, not even a few words.
Whose finger bone is this?
What's the use again?
Lin Ji didn't know why, but he also knew that in order to recover the sword of the human saint and renew the incense of the Three Saints Cave, the heavenly saint would not hesitate to use it as a gift, which must be an extraordinary thing, but he couldn't understand it for a while.
It seems that I can only meet Tiansheng in the future and ask for advice in person.
Thinking about it, Lin Ji put the finger bones back into the box and hid them in Qiankun's sleeve.
Then sit cross-legged and let the Qi return to Dantian.
After exercising the spiritual energy for thirty-six days, it slowly stopped.
In the later stage, the spiritual energy is full and surging like the sea, which is many times stronger than in the middle stage.
What surprised him even more was that when he was meditating and adjusting his breath, the thousands of spiritual consciousnesses were not concentrated as before, but scattered in all directions, falling straight for several miles.
It's like a radar, and you can clearly feel every breath of spiritual energy fluctuations.
For example, at this time, he could see clearly how many monks were on each floor of the dragon boat and what level they were in. He could see clearly when he was alone in the room. Even if he looked closely, he could also identify the cultivators of each person.
Which sect of martial arts are you practicing?
"Well, the Taiyi Sect members are all on the 32nd floor. There is an initiate, who must be the leader of the team. The aura of the other middle-stage Night Tour Realm is somewhat familiar. It should be... Zhong Ling, right?"
When Lin Ji's consciousness fell on another aura in the late stage of spiritual awakening, his bloodline twitched slightly, as if he was secretly sensing it.
"Oh?" Lin Ji secretly wondered, "Is it possible that that boy Lin Chun is here too? This boy is quite promising. He has achieved so much in just two years."
"Huh? This is..."
"Boss!" Before Lin Ji could make a careful identification, Lu Cong pulled his neck and shouted with joy, "Boss, look who's here?!"
Lin Ji withdrew his consciousness, stood up and opened the door.
Lu Cong was seen running up the steps in two or three steps, and a familiar figure suddenly appeared behind him.
The man was more than ten feet away and stopped when he saw Lin Jiwu from a distance.
The slightly square face was faintly revealed in the early morning mist.
It is Guo Yi.
"The Heavenly Official is overjoyed, and I came here to ask for a drink." Guo Yi said, still bowing respectfully as he did when he was still supervising Tiansi, but the smile on his face was particularly cordial.
Lin Ji quickly walked a few steps forward to meet him, patted his shoulder and said happily: "Why are you here too!"
Guo Yi smiled and nodded, with a hint of light in his eyes.
"Lu Cong, go get the wine quickly!" Lin Ji ordered loudly.
Lu Cong smiled and said: "It has been prepared a long time ago, but the meat is called raw. Boss, your roast is the most delicious!"
The three of them smiled and sat down in the room. Lin Ji asked Guo Yi, "Isn't he in Liangcheng? Why did he come here too?"
Guo Yi replied that after the fall of the Qin Dynasty, he, the chief constable of Liangcheng who was supervising Tiansi, naturally had no restraints and had free time to walk around.
First, he went back to his hometown, and then stayed in Shimen for a few days. Then he headed east, and when he was taking shelter from the rain in a ruined temple near Xuzhou, he heard a group of horse dealers talking about the strange things in Weicheng, and then he learned that Lin Ji
Live in Xuzhou.
Guo Yi had no idea where to go, so he headed east to Xuzhou.
After arriving in Weicheng, I saw red lanterns hung all over the city and restaurants where people ate and drank without taking any money. Then they heard that Lin Ji was getting married.
Moreover, two women are married together, and one man has two wives.
Coincidentally, Guo Yi had also met both of those two women.
Especially Zhong Xiaoyan, she and Guo Yi have been colleagues in the Qingyang Supervisory Office for a long time.
This wedding wine is a must-drink!
We took a boat to find him and met Lu Cong, who was leading a patrol, and brought him here together.
After listening to Guo Yi's narration, Lin Ji couldn't help but sigh, time flies so fast.
It has been six or seven years since I left Qingyang County!
The wine and meat were served, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled.
It's still the same as before, Lu Cong cuts the meat, Guo Yi skewers it, and Lin Ji grills it over the fire.
While roasting, Lin Ji asked again: "How is Lingyin?"
Guo Yi stopped what he was doing and said with a kind smile on his face: "I'm a little fatter and more handsome than before, but my stubborn temper hasn't changed at all. In terms of cultivation, I've made rapid progress.
, she’s already Senior Sister Qingcheng.”
Then, Guo Yi sighed again: "If it weren't for Captain Lin who forced her to go back, there's no telling whether she would be here today. Like that Zhou Qian..."
When he mentioned Zhou Qian, Lin Ji's hand holding the meat skewers and about to turn it over suddenly stopped.
Not just Zhou Qian? Over the years, there have been many people who have met each other but never seen each other again.
"Come on! Take a sip!" Lu Cong put down the knife and picked up the wine glass and suggested.
"Come!"
"Dry!"
The three of them raised their glasses to each other and drank it all in one gulp.
"It would be even better if we had some more Shaobings from Lao Li's house!" Lu Cong said thoughtfully as he chewed the meat skewers.
"Yang's braised donkey meat and duck neck are also good!" Guo Yi, who rarely talks about food, was full of aftertaste.
Lin Ji smiled, raised his glass again and said, "One day we will go back to Qingyang and drink him a good meal!"
"Yes! His grandma kicked Xu Er's good leg too!" Lu Cong shouted, "Boss, I always feel that you were too gentle that time!"
"Hahaha!"
…
The three of them talked, laughed, and drank.
Unknowingly, it felt like I had gone back many years ago, to the little-known Qingyang County.
Everything is so familiar yet vague.
In these years, there have been intrigues and intrigues, and blood rains on the mountain of knives.
After many disasters, Lin Ji's official position became higher and higher, and his abilities became stronger and stronger.
But he always misses the days when he was a head catcher in Qingyang County the most, the most carefree.
I miss you so much...
"Come!"
"drink!"
"Done!"
Lin Ji drank another glass of wine and remembered yesterday with his eyes closed.
Yesterday, I can never go back!
Just like the previous life.
I don’t know how long I had been drinking when a hurried knock on the door suddenly came from outside.
Immediately afterwards, a figure opened the door and walked in, pointing at Guo Yi and Lu Cong and scolding angrily: "I said you two are here to congratulate or to drink?"
Lin Ji turned around and saw that it was Zhong Xiaoyan's personal maid Ling'er. She couldn't help but said happily: "Xiaoyan is here?"
Ling'er glared at Lin Ji and said, "Fortunately, Miss has been rushing all the way, and she keeps mumbling from time to time that you are worried that you will be impatient. It's better for you to just drink with these two idle men. I'm afraid you have already forgotten that you are going to be the groom's official."
