Chapter 21: White Dew is Frost
Bai Qingqing and Zhao Jiuge took advantage of the afterglow of the sunset to enter the deep mountains, the Xuantian Mountain Range was already vast and sparsely populated, with more than a thousand peaks connected, and they didn't walk long away from the peaks, and the surroundings gradually became quiet.
Zhao Jiuge, who was in a dull mood, took the lead in the front, without saying a word, just silently remembering the route he had walked, secretly estimating the distance in his heart, thinking that he would have to return the same way on the second day at the latest, even if the medicinal materials were not found, otherwise he would miss the time.
Except for the occasional bird and insect chirping in the deep mountains, only the crisp sound of footprints on the ground and the crisp sound of branches and leaves, the surroundings are a little quiet.
"Hey, why are you walking so fast, like a log without saying a word. Bai Qingqing, who was a few steps away behind him, saw that the farther and farther, the scenery along the way became more and more unfamiliar, and there was no sound, and he looked a little uncomfortable, so he puffed out his mouth and complained to Zhao Jiuge with a little dissatisfaction.
Wood, hearing this word, the walking Zhao Jiuge's movements stiffened for a moment, and then returned to normal, and continued to take steps forward, once upon a time, how familiar this word was, from the mouth of a girl who was like a green lotus, obviously every time the girl disliked her stupidity, she listened to it so warmly, and now this word came out of another woman's mouth, which made Zhao Jiuge's thoughts a little trance.
From near to far east and west,
To the deep to shallow clear stream,
As high as the sun and the moon,
Relatives to couples.
Whenever Zhao Jiuge dreams late at night, he often fantasizes that he will stand with the sword in the future, holding his beloved one in the world, but the graceful figure next to him is always a little blurry, which may just show that his heart is not firm enough.
Thinking of this, looking at the mountains and forests in the distance, Zhao Jiuge's eyes were a little melancholy, everything was caused by strength, and the influence of the small environment made Zhao Jiuge full of confidence in his bones, but he was not blind, he was not afraid of distance, not afraid of everything, he just thought that time passed too slowly, and what he lacked most was time.
When she reunites with the noble and cold figure who is as proud as a cold plum, will she still remember herself, and will she look at herself with the same eyes as she did in the past? And all this is unacceptable to himself, secretly clenching his palm, his fingers are white, and Zhao Jiuge, who is in a trance, doesn't notice it.
Well?
After walking for a while, Zhao Jiuge woke up in shock, broke his concentration immersed in thoughts, and found that something was wrong.
The footsteps behind him are gone!
Zhao Jiuge hurriedly looked back, only to see that more than ten meters away, Bai Qingqing was putting his hands on his waist, stubbornly cocking his mouth, looking at himself angrily, standing there motionless, his beautiful eyes were full of dissatisfaction.
Seeing that Bai Qingqing was fine, but the young lady's temper came up, Zhao Jiuge secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, just now he was shocked into a cold sweat, in this strange deep mountain, for fear of any accidents.
Zhao Jiuge, who was already in a bad mood and even a little irritable, saw Bai Qingqing lose his temper, so he became even more angry, with a cold face, and shouted angrily, "Why are you standing there, don't you leave quickly!"
"If you have the ability, leave me and continue to go, we are now a team, ask you for a long time, you don't pay attention to me, and I am not a companion. Bai Qingqing, who had been used to being delicate since childhood, was still a little happy when she saw Zhao Jiuge finally stop and turn around, but she didn't expect Zhao Jiuge to blame in the first sentence, so she couldn't help chopping her pink leg and roared.
Today's Bai Qingqing is also wearing a blue sword robe, with a ponytail tied behind him, and the tight clothes outline the curves of the figure, the sixteen or seventeen-year-old Bai Qingqing has already matured, and the bulge on his chest trembles because of the stomping of his feet, and he is used to being dressed up sexy and enchanting, today's different flavor makes Zhao Jiuge a little surprised.
However, seeing that someone else was a girl after all, Zhao Jiuge didn't want to lose his temper too much, his face softened a little, and he walked back more than ten meters to Bai Qingqing, pursed his mouth, and said helplessly, "Let's go, we still have to hurry up and find medicinal materials." After speaking, he looked at Bai Qingqing with a loose face, for fear that this young lady would make some tricks and not leave.
Fortunately, seeing Bai Qingqing, he nodded his head and finally took a step. Bai Qingqing is not an unreasonable person, he is just playing with the temper of the young lady and getting used to people's attention, Zhao Jiuge gave the steps, and he has to accept it when he sees it.
This time, the two walked forward side by side, the light air in the deep mountains moistened their hearts, and swaying flowers and plants could be seen everywhere, Zhao Jiuge secretly estimated that because he was still on the edge and did not enter, there should be no spirit beasts, and if it was really too powerful spirit beasts, it must have been cleaned up by the Xuantian Sword Gate.
"It's just a task, there is no punishment if you fail, you just want to find all the medicinal materials so much, you might as well think about what to do with the competition with that scar boy in three days. After the two were silent for a long time, Bai Qingqing finally glanced at Zhao Jiuge, pretending to be careless, and secretly watched Zhao Jiuge's reaction.
"I want the one hundred points of tribute, with the tribute can have my own flying sword, I also had one at the beginning, but unfortunately it was destroyed later, without the tribute, I can't exchange the items in the sect, so of course I want to find all the medicinal materials and get the top three, then there will be a hundred points of tribute, I accumulate little by little, I don't believe that I can't save the tribute!"
When it came to the topics of interest, Zhao Jiuge seemed to have changed his appearance, and his eyes exuded a different brilliance.
Seeing that Zhao Jiuge was full of smiling faces like children at this time, so simple sunshine, imprinted in Bai Qingqing's eyes, with different colors, Bai Qingqing was a little silent after listening, as if he understood something, he didn't worry about missing anything from the superiority of his family background, as for the magic weapon, this time he came to Xuantian Sword Gate, and the family was afraid that he would have some accidents, but he gave a lot.
Maybe the environment is different, and everyone's thoughts are different, after being silent for a while, Bai Qingqing smiled, "For the sake of a team, my sister will help you, but what do you plan to do in the competition in three days." ”
The slightly wrinkled Qiong nose was indescribably playful and cute, and after finishing speaking, Bai Qingqing looked at Zhao Jiuge with some curiosity, now she is a little less enchanting and charming, and a little more girlish.
"What can I plan, I only care about my tribute and cultivation, as for the rest, life and death are downplayed, and if you don't accept it, you can do it! Anyway, I don't want to cause trouble, but it's not so easy to bully. ”
is also wearing a blue sword robe, the long flowing black hair is held by a cloth belt, the delicate face is relaxed, and the tone is domineering and confident, but this confidence is not arrogant, I have to say that after the automatic cultivation reached the spiritual realm, I don't know if it is because of the cultivation or the Sanskrit holy body, the current Zhao Jiuge has undergone earth-shaking changes from the previous mountain village.
The thin body has become stronger now, and as he grows older, he has grown a lot taller, especially the temperament looks ethereal and elegant, the perseverance on the delicate face and the maturity that does not meet the age, it is true that among this group of new disciples, some stand out from the crowd and attract attention.
The smart Bai Qingqing didn't dwell too much on this topic, his right hand stroked a few strands of hair in front of his forehead, and said with a smile in his eyes, "You won in three days, and my hundred tributes will also be given to you." The tone was relaxed, and he didn't take this hundred tributes seriously at all.
Zhao Jiuge glared, frowned, and was stunned: "Don't you want it?" besides, how do you know that our hundred men are settled." ”
"I'm afraid that I won't be able to get this hundred tributes, and you are too underestimated to look down on my sister. Bai Qingqing first rolled her eyes, and then covered her mouth with one hand and smiled, although it was said that these medicinal materials were only available in this Xuantian Mountain Range, but this task did not let Bai Qingqing take it seriously.
"Hehe, then I'll wait and see how strong you are. Zhao Jiuge looked at Bai Qingqing in disbelief, but he believed a little in his heart that this bewitching girl was too mysterious, and even the amazing and gorgeous Mu Zijun Bai Zimo was pressed down by her, and he estimated in his heart that this Bai Qingqing's hole card should not have been exposed.
Then he frowned and asked, "Then you don't want this hundred tributes?"
"As long as you can win Scar Boy, I'll give it to you. "The face does not change, the heart does not beat, and the face is calm. Maybe for those teenagers who don't have a family, this 100 points of tribute is a lot, but these tributes are at most exchanged for items and materials, and Bai Qingqing obviously does not lack these things, it is not much use to ask for them, besides, a hundred points of tribute, in exchange for those decent things, it is not enough to even have a fur.
"Okay, I don't care if you look like this, and I don't want to be hypocritical with you. "Zhao Jiuge is not a fool, he urgently needs to improve his strength now, and those foreign objects are also part of improving his strength, this favor is in his heart, and he will return it when his strength is improved in the future.
This time it was Bai Qingqing's turn to be stunned, most men are a little machismo, not to mention that when he was on the coast of the East China Sea, he also did not lack the pursuit of those children of the family, it has always been others who send things to him to be courteous, and it is estimated that another man will pretend to postpone it, but I didn't expect Zhao Jiuge to be an alternative, really an interesting person.
Zhao Jiuge saw Bai Qingqing's stunned expression, as if he had guessed what she was thinking, and at the same time rolled his eyes, hooked the corners of his mouth and joked, "Why, anyway, this thing started because of you, I was shot just lying down, and I deserved to win him." ”
Looking at Zhao Jiuge's playful expression, Bai Qingqing's young lady's temper came up again, and she deliberately said with a smile on her face, "Then I'll see how you beat that scar boy, look at that breath, others are a level better than you, don't lose then, crying and asking my sister to help you." ”
Zhao Jiuge looked at Bai Qingqing with disdain, and simply stopped making a sound, seeing Zhao Jiuge deflated, Bai Qingqing laughed happily like a child.
Night fell completely, and this mountain forest was enveloped in the forest.
The temperature in the deep mountains at night is also plummeting sharply, gradually entering the depths of the mountains, occasionally hearing the roar of spirit beasts, and the cold smoke around them is gradually rising, although both of them are spiritual realm cultivators, naturally not afraid of this temperature.
But Bai Qingqing still shrunk his neck, looking around with fear in his eyes, for fear that something would suddenly appear in this dark night, and his right hand was tightly grasping Zhao Jiuge's arm, because he was afraid of using too much force in his heart, Zhao Jiuge felt a little pain.
I can't help but feel a little funny in my heart, after all, a strong woman is also a woman, and she also has a timid side in her heart, and although Zhao Jiuge is not very old, she has been used to hunting in the mountains since she was a child.
"Laugh at what a laugh. Although he was scared, he would not admit it if he killed Bai Qingqing, and after seeing that he grabbed Zhao Jiuge's arm, the smile on Zhao Jiuge's face suddenly made a dissatisfied sound.
Hey, who knew that Zhao Jiuge's face suddenly changed, and he looked at the right front.
This action made Bai Qingqing startled, and he trembled all over, like an octopus hugging Zhao Jiuge tightly all of a sudden, and his face was also disgraced and looked at Zhao Jiuge's gaze, thinking that Zhao Jiuge had discovered something.
Ahem, Zhao Jiuge was hugged tightly by Bai Qingqing, and his neck was so strangled by Bai Qingqing that he couldn't breathe, and it took a long time before he struggled and said, "It seems that a medicinal herb has been found." ”
Hearing this, Bai Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, a little afraid, and after coming back to his senses, he slapped Zhao Jiuge, "I don't know that people are scary, they are scared to death, just make a fuss if they are fine." Thinking of the embarrassing scene just now, Bai Nen's face turned red, but fortunately he couldn't see it in the night.
Zhao Jiuge felt a little aggrieved in his heart, thinking that I didn't make a fuss, but when I saw the medicinal herbs, you scared me by such a big action first, and blamed me in turn. Although he thought so in his heart, Zhao Jiuge didn't dare to say this, for fear of attracting Bai Qingqing's beating and scolding.
The two of them walked along the position that emitted spiritual light not far away, and when they got closer, Zhao Jiuge's eyes lit up, and his face was happy, "It's white dew as frost." ”
