There is a section of the Qing River in Fucheng, and this section of the river is also called the Fuqing River, which is not far from the Dark Fragrance Pavilion. After Ji Xiao taught Mei Sanniang the method of refining water veins, he took her to the river.

Ji Xiao said to Mei Sanniang: "In the future, this river will be your home." ”

Mei Sanniang nodded, she carried the method taught by Ji Xiao, and she felt as if the river was calling her. The Qinglou woman was already helpless and lonely, but at this time, the river really gave her the feeling of home. Mei Sanniang followed her instincts, jumped into the river, turned into a splash, and disappeared.

Ji Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, because he saw that Mu Qing had also entered the river.

"I'll be back later. ”

At this time, the pedestrians walking along the river noticed that the Fuqing River had suddenly risen, and they were all wondering if there was a big flood upstream and flowing down.

The river is not only swollen, but also tumbling.

Fortunately, it was nighttime, and if it was daytime, many people would have come to watch.

Ji Xiao looked at the river, opened the Void Sky Eye, and saw a big snake lying on the riverbed, with four bulges on its abdomen, which was a sign that he was going to turn into a dragon.

At this time, there was a faint shadow around the big snake, and it was constantly attacking it.

Under the pain of the big snake, he used the water method to roll up the water flow, which caused the scene of the river flooding.

The shadow is Mu Qing.

Although this big snake has not turned into a human form, it has the blood of a dragon, and it doesn't know how many years it has lived, obviously its mana is profound, not to mention that in the water, its strength is more than doubled, and ordinary Dancheng monks don't even think about it. But now it was helpless against the shadow that Mu Qing had turned into, and the aura on its body gradually weakened.

After about a quarter of an hour of fighting, the serpent stopped moving.

The body, which was originally ten zhang long, continued to shrink and became about two inches.

Ji Xiao is not strange, the dragon can be big and small, and since the big snake has the blood of the dragon, it can naturally change its body as it wishes.

The shadow that Mu Qing turned into pounced into the little snake's body, and Ji Xiao suddenly felt an inexplicable aura on his body, which was the breath of a dragon.

It turned out that Mu Qing had refined this little snake, and he had also been infected and obtained a trace of true dragon blood.

Without anyone noticing, the little snake sneaked ashore, slipped to Ji Xiao, and wrapped it around the index finger of his right hand.

Ji Xiao took a closer look, the skin of the little snake was as clear as jasper, wrapped around his fingers, and there was also a cold coldness, the snake's eyes were pitch black, quiet and deep, and very beautiful.

"Did you take away this little snake?"

"It's just a means of distracting the gods, and it's still far from taking away. ”

"Oh. Ji Yu understood, this is the same reason as when Qingyu pinned his thoughts on July.

He added, "You didn't seem to be able to do this before. ”

"Hmph, you think that just because you are smart, then Huang Tingjing also gave me some gains. But this method is also troublesome, the divine thoughts I separated will die naturally, and now the divine thoughts on the little snake will support at most for half a day, and every time after the divine thoughts are separated, it may take a while to rest before I can continue to perform this method, and it still can't be too far away from you. Mu Qing said in the end, obviously very unhappy.

Ji Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in her heart: Now she shouldn't think about using my body.

Mu Qing said: "If you weren't stingy, how could I use such a troublesome method." ”

Ji Xiao coughed lightly.

Mu Qing continued: "I looked through its memory, and it turned out that it was stocked in the Fuqing River by the snake guard of Jiangzhou Mansion. ”

Ji Xiao was not very surprised, after all, there was such a spiritual snake in the Fuqing River, and it was strange that the snake guard didn't know about it, if the snake guard was free-ranged, it did make sense.

He said, "So what, are you still afraid of the snake guard?"

Mu Qing said: "Of course I'm not afraid, and every month the snake guard will send someone to feed it, it is the best elixir, then I will put away the elixir, and you will use it for alchemy." ”

"Why are you so generous all of a sudden? Ji Xiao looked suspicious.

Mu Qing said: "Anyway, if you take the pill, I can also share half of the benefits." ”

Ji Xiao's face darkened, and he really couldn't think of her too well.

The two talked for a while, and then the little snake pounced and returned to the river. The school palace is upstream, very close, anyway, Ji Xiao will be in the school palace for a while in the near future, so the little snake just stays in the river.

That little snake is actually equivalent to a clone of Mu Qing. On weekdays, even if you don't put your thoughts on God, it doesn't matter, and Mu Qing can't delay much time if she has something to do.

Ji Xiao suddenly thought that he was now half an official, and he took all the elixir to feed the snake every month, whether it was considered corruption.

Messy thoughts popped up in his head, and he soon returned all the way back to the school palace.

He returned to his lodgings, and before he could open the door, he was humanized: "Master Throbbing, you have finally returned." ”

Ji Xiao had actually discovered him, but he just pretended not to know, and when he saw him coming, he said, "Steward Lin, what's the matter with you?"

It turned out that this man was the steward of the school.

"My lord has something to look for you. ”

"It's so late, what else can happen. ”

"I don't know, the master asked me to let the master go and see him. ”

"Good. ”

Steward Lin took Ji Yu to Xuezheng's house, which was actually a house next to Xuezheng. This Xuezheng Master is also surnamed Lin, and he is a few years older than Nie County Ling.

The two met in the study.

Ji Xiao saluted eleventh and said, "Lord Lin is so late, what's the matter with me." ”

Lin Xuezheng said: "I heard that Master Yu wrote a good poem, and you are also good at composing poems. ”

Ji Xiao said: "The adults praised it falsely, but the words are not too ugly." ”

Lin Xuezheng said with a smile: "Master Yu is modest, I came to you this time to ask you to write a poem for me on this picture of Guanyin." ”

I saw him unfold a painting on his desk, which was the picture of Guanyin.

Seeing this, Ji Xiao smiled and said, "Then I'll be ugly." "This painting is also coincidental, it is actually Zhu Yicai's handwriting, and Ji Xiao recognized its origin at a glance. Anyway, if he wants to stay in the school palace for a while, Ji Xiao will naturally not refuse to do Xuezheng a small favor, and it is convenient for others to be convenient for himself.

Lin Xuezheng saw that he did not shirk, and his expression was overjoyed.

Although he is a scholar, he is actually a nine-grade official, and his words are effective for the students, like Ji Xiao, who is an outsider, is very little under his control, and Ji Xiao has a close relationship with Nie County. Although Nie County Ling is a seventh-grade official, he is really the first in the second class, and he is still the proud protégé of the heavenly officials of the Ministry of Officials.

Therefore, Lin Xuezheng couldn't force Ji Yu to help him with the inscription, if it weren't for the fact that he really didn't have much money, he would have wanted to pay for the pen.

Ji Xiao picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote an inscription on the blank space of the painting.

............

"The human body is rare and has been obtained, and the Dharma has been heard of now. If you don't go to the other side in this life, when will you spend this life. ”

"Good poetry, really good poetry. ”

In the government office of Jiangzhou Mansion, a middle-aged official looked at the poem on the painting of Guanyin and couldn't help but praise.
