Chapter 28 Birthday
Chapter 28 Birthday
This time, the restriction of the Demon Locking Tower was loosened, causing Jiuhua to be seriously injured.
But no matter how Jiang Shuo investigated, he couldn't find out the culprit who broke the restriction.Anxiety, accompanied by unknown fear, spread slowly and invisible in the hearts of every Jiuhua disciple.
The only one who is leisurely and carefree is probably only Yin Sui.
After all, after privately using force in front of the punishment hall, he was only punished by Jiang Shuo to kneel for two hours, plus he finished memorizing ten books of exercises, wrote a hundred sheets of big characters, and was confined to Qutai for 20 days.
Although Yin Sui doesn't like to read, but his memory is really good. At Jiang Shuo's request, he memorized a whole set of ancient books, even if he didn't understand even half a word, he barely passed the test.
Writing big characters was even more painful. He held a brush dipped in ink, and the things he wrote could bring the dead to life. It was hard for Jiang Shuo to read each one carefully and correct him one by one.
On this day, Yin Sui finished three copybooks with great difficulty, looked left and right, and was quite satisfied. He immediately picked them up and wanted to go out to find Jiang Shuo, so that he could see his progress.
"Master!" He stepped out excitedly, and saw Jiang Shuo standing in front of the yard, wearing a water-red robe and black hair pulled up high with a wooden hairpin, standing with another person in a moon-white disciple's uniform Son, turn your face slightly to speak.
Yin Sui's expression turned cold instantly.
But at the next moment, he changed his appearance again, and obediently moved to Jiang Shuo's side, first calling: "Master."
Then he looked to the other side, and shouted with crooked eyebrows: "Senior brother."
Qi Feng glanced at him lightly, but said nothing.
Yin Sui leaned forward affectionately, and asked curiously, "Brother, why are you here today? Are you here to impose restrictions on my small courtyard again?"
"..." Qifeng couldn't hide his disgust on his expression: "No."
Yin Sui lowered his eyes, and suddenly said: "But if you don't release the restraint, don't you worry about me running away again?"
Qifeng was impulsive for a while, and couldn't help but reply: "You were banned last time, didn't you go out too?"
Yin Sui raised his head and looked at him as if he didn't understand. Qi Feng looked at the innocent and aggrieved eyes of this young man, feeling that a crisis was approaching for no reason.
"That's because you told me, Master, he..." Yin Sui paused subtly in the middle of his mouth, and concealed: "It's nothing..."
Qifeng: "."
"..." Jiang Shuo looked at the two apprentices quietly for a moment, neither fluctuating for a little bit because of the little apprentice's words that were trying to cover up, nor did he show any signs of anger because of Qi Feng's angry appearance.
After a long while, Jiang Shuo finally let out a long sigh, first he patted the little apprentice's head, and when Yin Sui was so happy that he seemed to be wagging his tail, he said gently to Qi Feng: "You are the elder brother."
Qi Feng lowered her head, pursed her lips tightly and did not speak.
"Yu Yun is still young and has a bad temper." Jiang Shuo said, "As an elder brother, you should take care of him more and stop talking to him all the time."
Yin Sui's face darkened again.
Qifeng's face was darker than his, and after holding back for a long time, he said in a low voice: "The disciple knows."
"In the past two days, go to the punishment hall to receive your punishment." Jiang Shuo's expression was very gentle, but his tone was much lighter: "I was waiting for you to admit your mistakes. I don't want Yun'er to bring this up first."
Qi Feng's face turned from blue to red, Yin Sui looked at him, his heart was so happy, the corners of his lips were raised high, proud and provocative.
Qi Feng closed her eyes, took a light breath, and said, "I know I was wrong, so I will go to the punishment hall to receive my punishment, and I will leave first."
Yin Sui watched him leave, the corners of his lips raised higher and higher, he didn't notice that Jiang Shuo suddenly turned around, and hit his butt hard.
Yin Sui: "??"
Jiang Shuo frowned and said, "Why are you so happy?"
Yin Sui clutched his butt, the blood was rushing to his head, his ears were red, and he couldn't laugh anymore: "..."
Jiang Shuo: "You also want to go to the punishment hall to receive punishment?"
Yin Sui shook his head like a rattle.
"Then keep the rules," Jiang Shuo was angry and helpless, "I won't protect you next time. Go back and write your handwriting."
After Jiang Shuo left, Yin Sui stood there for a long time before remembering that he was still holding a few pieces of writing brushes and writing paper.
Originally said to show Jiang Shuo, but forgot.
The hotness on his face gradually faded, Yin Sui tightened the paper in his hand, suddenly remembered a past event from a long time ago for no reason.
In his previous life, Yin Sui also had several masters, and the one with the longest time taught him a little kung fu.
Yin Sui is talented and intelligent, and he can draw inferences from one analogy to another. In a short period of time, he has improved much faster than the few senior disciples taught by his master.
Later, these disciples joined forces to slander him for secretly learning the unique technique, and his "master" expelled Yin Sui without even listening to his excuse.
Many years since then...he has become the laughing stock of the entire division.
But not now, Yin Sui narrowed the gloomy look in his eyes and thought freely.
Now...he also has someone who will favor him.
Although the turmoil in the Demon Locking Tower calmed down temporarily, Yin Sui still did not forget the abnormality he felt under the tower that day.
——The kind of heart-piercing pain that seems to take out the soul.
After the ban was lifted from Qutai, Yin Sui found several opportunities to avoid the patrolling disciples and went around the demon lock tower, but strangely, he didn't feel any discomfort this time.
The prohibition of the Demon Locking Tower has been strengthened layer by layer. Even if Yin Sui deliberately touches it with spiritual power, he can't feel anything.
Before leaving, Yin Sui raised his head and glanced up. The dark red and black spire was shrouded in a hazy gray mist. He read a lot of Jiuhua classics in the past two days, but he never mentioned the Demon Locking Tower. Something trapped in the ninth floor.
It's...intriguing.
But apart from this matter, Yin Sui felt that another matter was more important.
"Master," after more than a month, he finally brought this up to Jiang Shuo seemingly inadvertently one afternoon, "My birthday is coming soon."
Jiang Shuo was lowering his eyelashes to check his little apprentice's homework. After dozens of days of hard work, Yin Sui's handwriting finally stopped looking like a dog's handwriting, and began to have edges and corners. Very sloppy.
Jiang Shuo frowned and dipped in ink to outline the parts that needed to be corrected, not paying attention to what he said.
"Master—" Seeing this, Yin Sui approached Jiang Shuo, tilted his head and lay down on the table, turned his face to look at the people beside him, and repeated in a low voice: "My birthday is coming soon."
Jiang Shuo came back to his senses, and caught a glimpse of the young man with ink marks on his face, staring at him with bright eyes.
"Birthdate?" Jiang Shuo was indeed taken aback for a moment, but he forgot about it: "What day is it?"
"Ninth day of November." Yin Sui said immediately, "It will be here soon."
Jiang Shuo counted the days and found that... it's still less than half a month away.
"So it's your birthday," Jiang Shuo raised his hand, gently wiped the dirty marks on the young apprentice's face with his fingertips, and said gently, "I've never heard you mention it before, I really don't remember."
Jiang Shuo's fingertips were slightly cool, with a bit of ink fragrance, and Yin Sui felt that the cheeks he wiped were burning hot, as if he had been scalded.
The ninth day of November...of course it is not "Yu Yun"'s birthday.
That was Yin Sui's own birthday.
It's just that no one has ever remembered this day. Although Yin Sui himself vaguely remembered it, it was the first time he mentioned it to others.
"What gift do you want?" Jiang Shuo put down his pen and asked.
The boy straightened up from the table immediately, his eyes filled with anticipation almost overflowing: "Can you do whatever you want?"
Jiang Shuo thought for a while and said, "As long as it's something I can give away."
After he said that, a lot of birthday gifts that he wanted to receive immediately appeared in Yin Sui's head.
From the rice cooked by Jiang Shuo himself, to the sweet-scented osmanthus cakes sold at the foot of Mount Jiuhua, or going out with Jiang Shuo for a few days...
Yin Sui thought hard for a long time, and said sadly: "I haven't thought about it yet."
Wanting too much, and feeling that nothing is worth it, since it is the first birthday with Jiang Shuo, naturally I want the best.
he wants……
Like Yin Sui, Jiang Shuo was also thinking about what to give his young apprentice.
After a while, Jiang Shuo made a decision.
"Let's read the book first." His expression was indifferent, as if he didn't care. "Wait until that day, and then give you the birthday gift you want."
In the next few days, Jiang Shuo behaved very normally. Yin Sui wanted to secretly see how he was preparing for his birthday, but after several days of investigation, he was slightly disappointed to find that Jiang Shuo hadn't done anything.
Even just two days before his birthday, Jiang Shuo took Yu Pu, who had just woken up from the cold poison, down the mountain to find folk herbs.
Yin Sui was left alone in Qutai, practicing the exercises he had learned in the past few days.
There have been some small animals in the Peach Blossom Forest recently, all brought back by Jiang Shuo from the foot of the mountain. While turning the pages of the book, Yin Sui gathered his energy, when out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a snow-white figure rushing out.
Yin Sui stopped his hands and turned his head to look at the little thing.
It was the little snow rabbit brought back by Jiang Shuo from the farmyard. There were three in total. This was the fattest one, and it was very noisy.
Recently, Yin Sui often practiced in the peach blossom forest. He came and went, and saw him a lot. This rabbit dared to come over to see him.
"Gathering spirits in the heart, Zhou Tianwai since childhood..."
Yin Sui recited a few sentences as if nothing had happened, and suddenly raised his hand. Before the rabbit could react, a golden-red spiritual power flew over and turned into a thin rope, binding the snow rabbit's legs tightly. Living.
This is the spirit-binding formula taught by Jiang Shuo recently. It is used to deal with difficult monsters that cannot be killed immediately. Now it is used by Yin Sui to play with little rabbits.
The snow-white rabbit stayed for a while, then lost its balance and fell to the ground, kicking its legs frantically.
Yin Sui looked at it lazily with his chin resting on his cheeks, and a few streaks of golden-red spiritual power still lingered around his fingertips, as if he wanted to add some more restraints to the poor rabbit at any time.
Xuetu kicked her legs a few times, but found that she couldn't break free, and looked at the young man not far away who seemed to be in a good mood.
"Do you want me to let you out?" Yin Sui condensed his spiritual power into a rope, wrapped it around his fingertips, raised his lips and said, "Just please me."
rabbit:"……"
Just when Yin Sui was playing, he heard familiar footsteps behind him, so shocked that he immediately withdrew the spiritual power from Xuetu, quickly moved back to the big rock, and sat upright with a book in his hands.
Once the little snow rabbit was free, she immediately jumped around Yin Sui, ran to another person's feet, and bit the corner of his soft robe.
Jiang Shuo picked it up and looked at its short legs.
The snow-white fur was a little limp, and it could be seen that it was tied up.
"What were you doing just now?" Facing the little apprentice, Jiang Shuo had already developed the habit of being calm.
Yin Sui pressed the book with one hand, and said innocently: "Endorsing the book, practicing the formula."
Snow Rabbit arched in Jiang Shuo's arms, obviously complaining.
Jiang Shuo put it back on the ground, rubbed the center of his eyebrows helplessly, and said, "Teaching you to learn restraint is not for you to tie up rabbits."
Yin Sui: "."
"How's your training going?" Jiang Shuo asked casually, and sat down beside the young apprentice, looking at a few books spread out on the stone.
... If he remembered correctly, when he left Qutai to read this morning, the book was on this page.
Looks like it hasn't moved all morning.
Yin Sui lowered his head and didn't speak, just sat obediently and waited for the training.
The books are full of elementary forbidden spells, he doesn't look down on them at all, and only use the above spells when he is playing with little rabbits.
So Yin Sui said, "I didn't even learn it."
The young man raised his eyes, looked at Jiang Shuo from bottom to top with those black and white star pupils, and said in a low voice, "It's so difficult to write in the book, my wife will teach me in person."
Jiang Shuo sighed lightly, and said helplessly, "There will be a trial in the secret realm of the whole cultivation world near the end of the year. If you are so unwilling to make progress, how can you escape from it?"
Although the words were reproaches, in Yin Sui's ears, they were as gentle as spring breeze blowing on his face.
"Just teach me," Yin Sui stretched out his hand, hooked Peiyu around Jiang Shuo's waist, tugged on it coquettishly, and said, "I'm so smart, I'm sure I can learn it casually."
Jiang Shuo: "..."
"I don't even want to read books, so how do I learn?" Jiang Shuo said in a low voice, "First read all the books related to prohibition in the southeast corner of the third floor of Zangshu Pavilion, and then practice."
The boy pursed his lips, obviously reluctant.
Jiang Shuo paused, and then said, "I'll come to check your homework in three days."
Yin Sui was stunned for a moment, watching Jiang Shuo walking into the yard, he suddenly realized that he was extremely wronged.
It's my birthday in two days, how can I still let myself stay in the library...reading? ? !
