After Cultivating With the Enemy
Chapter 41
In the early morning of the next day, the rising sunlight penetrated the clouds and fell among the mountains.
Ji Chaoyun and Feng Qi are standing side by side on the cliff. The bamboo house is no longer visible here, and among the trees, you can only see the golden leaves of the mountains, endless.
Facing the early morning breeze, Feng Qi took a deep breath: "It's so beautiful here."
"I said it's beautiful here." Ji Chaoyun's eyes reflected the rising sun emerging from the horizon, and smiled, "My house...isn't it worse than Wenqufeng?"
"It's not bad," Feng Qi said, "It's a pity, I can't stay here for a few more days."
Ji Chaoyun's expression slightly lowered.
Their lower realm is for experience, and there are still three thousand merits waiting for them, so they really shouldn't waste too much time here.
It's just that he came back with great difficulty, and he was about to leave so soon, he felt a little bit sad.
Feng Qi seemed to be aware of his thoughts and said softly, "If you want to be here in the future, I will accompany you back anytime."
Ji Chaoyun asked: "Don't you like to come to the world?"
"That's different."
How can you not like where you are.
Feng Qi didn't explain much, but looked down at him, his handsome and deep profile face seemed to be covered with a layer of warm velvet light.
With sincere and scorching eyes, Ji Chaoyun lowered his head uncomfortably: "I'll talk about it later if I have a chance."
"……it is good."
Feng Qi retracted his gaze, slowly turned to the mountains and mountains ahead, and suddenly said, "Actually, I wanted to say yesterday. I always feel that this place is very familiar, as if I have been here before."
"Have you been here? When?"
"I don't know." Feng Qi smiled disapprovingly, "Perhaps it was encountered during previous experience in the lower realms. The world is too big. I have never been where I have been. How can I remember it."
Ji Chaoyun frowned suspiciously, and said nothing.
Feng Qi rubbed his hair and said, "Let's go, it's time to go down the mountain. Have you figured out what to do with your three thousand merits?"
Ji Chaoyun didn't understand the meaning of his question: "What else? It's nothing more than demons and demons, helping the people. Isn't everyone the same?"
Feng Qi's eyes rolled, and he was silent.
"Why are you laughing?"
Feng Qi: "If it's as simple as what you said, why don't the disciples of the academy dare to practice in the lower realms so easily?"
Ji Chaoyun frowned, but still didn't understand what he meant, and asked, "What are you trying to say?"
Feng Qi didn't answer, and took out a merit book from his arms.
"We can share the merits gained in this lower realm, but the merits earned by each person are counted separately. Let's try this." Feng Qi raised his hand to the west and said, "When the lower realm was yesterday, I saw the place west There is a city three hundred miles away. I will give you six hours, two quarters ago, when we meet in the largest restaurant in the city, and we have more merit than one, how about?"
Ji Chaoyun doesn't need to think about knowing that this person is putting him down again, and immediately said: "You have experienced many times in the lower realm, and you naturally know how to do it. How can I compare with you."
Feng Qi smiled and said, "Why, did you plan to give up before you even started?"
Ji Chaoyun turned his head and said nothing.
"Even if I have a trick, it didn't fall from the sky. Can you find it yourself? Or..." Feng Qi smiled deeper, and said in a low voice, "You call me senior brother, and act like a baby again. I’ll tell you the trick if I’m not sure."
"..." Ji Chaoyun turned around and left, "Don't say it."
Feng Qi called to him behind him: "Hey, the bet is settled? The loser must agree to a request from the winner."
Ji Chaoyun didn't turn his head and said, "Just gamble, if you lose, don't regret it!"
Ji Chaoyun's figure quickly disappeared on the mountain road, and Feng Qiyao looked at the direction he was leaving with a smile in his eyes.
This little fool.
A few hours later, Yanbei City.
Ji Chaoyun quickly walked through the dark alley. He jumped up, turned and jumped in the air, with a sword splitting the fleeing black smoke in half.A sharp cry came from the black smoke, and then it dissipated in the wind.
He landed steadily, retracted his sword, took out his bosom and deeds and opened a page:
His originally empty merit book is now full of a full page of handwriting.Ji Chaoyun swept across quickly, his sight falling to the bottom.
A line of small characters slowly emerged: To kill the nightmare demon, five merits.
"..."
Until now, Ji Chaoyun understood why Feng Qi said that not many disciples in the academy were willing to take the initiative to practice in the lower realms.
Heaven’s calculation of merit is really harsh. It will help the people once, and remember two points of merit, except for a wandering soul that wanders in the world, and remember three points of merit.
Nightmare demon like this who inhales spirits in the city for a living can only increase five points of merit.
Ji Chaoyun has been busy for almost six hours, and his merit has only increased by more than twenty points.
The time limit for their lower realm is only ninety days. If you want to calculate it like this, if you want to accumulate three thousand merits, he has to sleep endlessly to complete it.
Ji Chaoyun sighed, put away the merit book, and turned around. A child who was only two or three years old was standing in the alley and looking at him with his head tilted.
The young child is handsome and well-dressed, and looks like he came from a wealthy family.He didn't seem to be afraid of people, his eyes blinked ignorantly: "Father, daddy..."
"..."
Ji Chaoyun has never had the experience of being recognized as a father in the street in his life. The eyebrows flicked unconsciously and stepped forward: "My child, why are you here?"
"Daddy, I can't find...find Daddy." The young boy looked up at him, and said that he couldn't speak clearly.
It turned out to be lost.
Helping children find their parents...it should be considered a merit.
Ji Chaoyun squatted down, facing the young boy's bright and moist eyes, his heart softened.He reached out and touched the child's face, and said warmly, "I'll take you to find your parents, okay?"
The child suddenly opened his eyes and smiled: "Daddy, Daddy..."
"..."
Ji Chaoyun didn't care about a child, cast a spell into a talisman bird, smelled it on the child, and then flew forward.
After a while, Ji Chaoyun walked on the street with the young child.
This city named Yanbei is not too small, perhaps because it is a traffic fortress, crowds come and go, and the streets are crowded, so it’s so lively.The Talisman led the two of them forward and quickly stopped in front of a mansion.
Ji Chaoyun put the child down, raised his fingers, and let the Talisman stop on the back of his hand.
Fu Niao shook his feathers on the back of his hand, and his long tail feathers were gorgeous and very beautiful.If Feng Qi was present, he could tell that this was very similar to the original appearance he usually transformed into.
The toddler looked up at him, arms spread out: "Bird...little bird..."
Ji Chaoyun looked down at him: "Like this?"
"like."
Ji Chaoyun pondered for a moment, and whispered a spell in his mouth. The Talisman was bathed in white light, with its wings folded, transforming into a small and delicate phoenix jade pendant.
The jade pendant was not the size of a thumb. Ji Chaoyun leaned over and hung the jade pendant around the neck of the child, and whispered, "This little phoenix will be given to you. Don't tell anyone, this is our secret."
The toddler tilted his head in confusion: "Little Phoenix...?"
Ji Zhaoyun smiled, and wanted to say something more, suddenly there was an exclamation from the house: "Master!"
A young woman rushed out of the house: "Master, where did you go? The master and madam are about to die of anxiety."
The toddler pulled at Ji Chaoyun's hem, and said, "Look, find Daddy."
The woman picked up the young child and bowed to Ji Chaoyun: "Did the son send my young master back?"
"Yes."
The woman said: "Please also ask the son to come in with me. My master and wife will definitely give birth to the son."
"It's nothing to do, don't bother." Ji Chaoyun said, "This child has been sent back, so I'll leave."
After he said this, he turned and left.Not long after walking out, I suddenly saw a slender figure standing at the street not far away, looking at him with a smile.
"You actually gave me to someone else!" Feng Qi said angrily in the largest restaurant in Yanbei City.
"..." Ji Chaoyun said, "That's just a rune bird."
Feng Qi emphasized: "That's a rune bird that looks exactly like me!"
"..."
Feng Qi raised his head and poured a glass of wine, thinking about it more and more angry: "And you haven't given me anything."
Ji Zhaoyun glanced at him: "If you want, I will pinch one for you. Let the whole world know that His Royal Highness likes to hang his prototype around his neck."
"No." Feng Qi thought about the scene and felt bitterly cold. Turning his eyes, he said, "If you become a dragon and come out, I can consider it."
"..."
Feng Qi wanted to tease him again, but Ji Chaoyun stunned him.He touched his nose and said, "By the way, you gave the child something, are you afraid to change his fortune?"
"He will meet me today, and he is considered to have a fairy relationship." Ji Chaoyun said, "Besides, it is good and harmless to be associated with a fairy."
Feng Qi propped his chin and said leisurely: "Causality is not as simple as you think..."
This was just a small episode, and the two didn't care too much. Feng Qi asked, "Speaking of which, how is your merit book?"
Ji Chaoyun moved for a while and whispered: "Twenty-six."
In the end, escorting the young boy home, the stingy way of heaven only added two merits to him.
"I knew you were going to lose." A smug smile appeared in Feng Qi's eyes, "Guess me how much?"
"How many?"
Feng Qi took a shot of the merit book on the table, and Ji Chaoyun leaned forward, and saw the last number at a glance:
Fifty-eight o'clock.
More than twice that of Ji Chaoyun.
Ji Chaoyun was silent for a moment, raised his eyes to look at Feng Qi, silently lowered his head and bit his snack.
Feng Qi didn't urge, so he drank himself.
For a time, neither of them spoke, but in the end Ji Chaoyun couldn't help it: "You...how did you do it?"
Feng Qi raised his eyebrows and fixedly looked at him.
"...Brother Feng."
Feng Qi suddenly opened his eyes and smiled, and said, "Isn't it enough for a long time? Let me win once for nothing."
Ji Chaoyun: "I am willing to bet and lose, you first tell me how to do it."
Feng Qi said, "When you come down today, can you see how the heavenly Dao calculates merit?"
"Yeah." Ji Chaoyun nodded, "helping the people, hoeing the strong and helping the weak, surrendering the demons, all can be exchanged for merit. But..."
"The merits are too little, right?" Feng Qi answered, "If it is normal experience in the lower realms, it will be no problem to do these things, but you are different. Your goal is the first class of the college, and you need to accumulate three in just 90 days. A thousand merits requires at least 30 points a day."
"Of course, with your current progress, if you don't sleep without rest, you still have a chance to complete it. But..." Feng Qi glanced at him and said, "You are a delicate and weak person who has been sleepless for ninety days. live."
"..."
Ji Chaoyun didn't bother to pay attention to the teasing meaning in his words, and said: "I know that if it is an evil being surrendered to the other side, or a demon that hurts life, the merit will be higher. Did you use this method, right?"
"Yes, Guan Qiao is here." Feng Qi said, "Heaven takes the evil spirits you surrender as the standard, the evil mortals and wandering souls are the inferior, the evil spirits with low Taoism are medium, as for the immortals and gods with advanced Taoism , The merit is naturally higher when conquered."
Ji Chaoyun asked: "But the higher the Taoism, the harder it is to find. How can those evil spirits be so easy to find?"
"I'll find it soon." Feng Qi smiled mysteriously at him and said, "Hurry up and take you to a place after eating."
