Volume 1: Wind Rises in the Mountains and Swamps Chapter 46: Jin Ke
Lin Yi was not surprised by the sudden appearance of a woman in the courtyard. Wherever his spiritual sense went, the situation in this small courtyard was vivid. But he couldn't help wondering in his heart, who is this woman? .
"This is Miss Xu Yue, and this is Lin Yi who just arrived. Let's get to know each other." Jiang Fangdi did not disappoint Lin Yi and introduced them carelessly.
Miss Xu had a fair complexion, a pointed chin, pretty eyebrows and eyes, and a pink dress, which made her look beautiful and moving. Before she spoke, her cheeks turned pink, and she bowed to Lin Yi and said, "Hello, Senior Brother Lin!"
Lin Yi thought to himself, this outer disciple hasn't even been made yet, and he has recognized a junior sister?
But Xu Yue is very shy, is she going to be an outer disciple like himself? He stood up and said in return, "Miss Xu, don't be polite, just call me Lin Yi."
"Yes, Senior Brother Lin Yi!" Xu Yue still stared at her toes and responded softly.
The master chef of the escort agency brought the food, and the four of them started eating at the stone table. Jiang Fangdi was eating, but his mouth was not idle, and he said a few words from time to time. Xu Yue and Dai Yuanhai ate without saying a word, and Lin Yi could only echo a few words beside them.
After dinner, several people went back to their rooms.
Lin Yi chose a room to stay in. The room was complete with beds, tables and chairs.
Jiang Fangdi came to invite him to go shopping, and thinking of the dark face of the butler Mu, Lin Yi thought it would be better to be cautious. He lied that he had been tired all day and had to rest early, and declined the other party's kindness.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Lin Yi held a wine gourd in his hand.
At dinner, Jiang Fangdi even joked that he was a wine lover.
The gourd left by the master was purple and yellow in color, very small, about the size of a palm, and only held a pound of wine.
Opening the gourd stopper, Lin Yi raised his head and took a sip. A sweet and hot feeling warmed his throat and chest.
He exhaled comfortably and played with the gourd in his hand, and Lin Yi's mood calmed down.
He silently practiced the Xuantian Heart Method, but there was still no progress in the fifth level of cultivation.
But the sixth level of "Xuantian Heart Method" still made Lin Yi look forward to it. In the sixth level of the Heart Method, it is introduced that the spiritual energy can be controlled by magic to form a spiritual energy shield around the body. After the skills are profound, the spiritual energy can be used to form an offensive and defensive weapon called "Xuantian Shield".
Lin Yi sat still, and carefully pondered the sixth level of magic in his mind. After a long time, he showed a happy expression. Then, he silently recited something, and his consciousness moved, and the white light around him suddenly appeared, flashing and disappearing.
Lin Yi's body has been shrouded by a layer of spiritual energy that is sometimes there and sometimes not.
In the dark room, Lin Yi's figure also appeared and disappeared from time to time, and the whole room was filled with weirdness and mystery.
After practicing the skill many times, Lin Yi was very happy. This six-layer aura shield can only be activated by the sixth-layer spiritual consciousness of the mind method to form an aura shield around the body. And his spiritual consciousness has long surpassed the fifth layer, so it should be similar to the sixth layer! After practicing the skill and casting the spell, he succeeded.
Although he still cannot form a real Xuantian Shield, Lin Yi is still very satisfied, after all, he has one more self-defense spell.
He recited a few more words in his mouth, and the light on his body disappeared, and Lin Yi collected the Xuantian Shield spell.
Every time the skill method has a small success, it is Lin Yi's happiest moment, but no one shares it. He raised the corner of his mouth, waved his hand, and the wine gourd floated in front of him. His mind moved slightly, and a spiritual stone appeared in his hand.
Lin Yi twisted his fingers lightly, exerted force on his fingertips, and took off a bean-sized spiritual stone and threw it into the gourd. Then he laughed again and threw it aside.
This "Forging God Mirror" has many benefits. After Lin Yi secretly praised it, his expression returned to indifference.
His mind calmed down, and he formed seals with his hands and began to practice the Forging Spirit Mirror.
In the sea of consciousness, the tiny golden dragon sword, as thin as a mosquito needle, was suspended in the air, and the golden light of the sword body flickered faintly...
The next morning, just after dawn, Jiang Fangdi's loud voice sounded outside the door.
Lin Yi, who had been sitting quietly on the couch all night, slowly opened his eyes and frowned. This Jiang Fangdi couldn't stay idle for a moment.
Lin Yi responded, and his consciousness swept over the gourd beside him, but he didn't see any changes. He took it in his hand with a little disappointment and opened the cork. There was actually a faint spiritual energy in the fragrant wine.
"Huh——!"
Lin Yi couldn't help but lift the gourd and taste it. A faint spiritual energy quickly sank into the Dantian of the Qi Sea and rushed to his limbs.
Unintentional actions bring unexpected surprises, which makes people happy. Lin Yi's eyebrows were full of joy. He was reluctant to use this spiritual stone, because he was afraid that it would be gone after it was used up. And breaking it into small pieces and making it into spirit wine can also be regarded as a relief for the current predicament of cultivation.
"Good morning, brother Lin!" Jiang Fangdi said with a smile when he saw Lin Yi coming out.
"Brother Jiang got up even earlier!" Lin Yi also looked relaxed.
"Butler Mu has ordered that we go out to buy personal items today." Jiang Fangdi said seriously, and then he raised his eyebrows and pretended to whisper in Lin Yi's ear: "Tomorrow morning, go to Tianlong Sect--"
Before Lin Yi could speak, he laughed out loud.
Lin Yi smiled and nodded, and saw Dai Yuanhai and Xu Yue also walked out of the house. Perhaps Jiang Fangdi's laughter infected the whole yard, and the two of them also had smiles on their faces.
It would be good for several people to go out and take a look. Lin Yi was still unfamiliar with Qincheng. Several people greeted each other and were about to go out together when a burly figure, with wind under his feet, rolled up a pile of fallen leaves, blocking everyone's way.
After the laughter, a young man in brocade clothes appeared in front of everyone.
"Junior brothers, I have kept you waiting for a long time! Jin came a step too late, I'm sorry! Haha, I'm sorry!" This man, with a yellow face and a lion's nose, was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with an unruly smile on his face, and he kept handing over to everyone in the courtyard. .
Before anyone could respond, he stared at Xu Yue with bright eyes, and exclaimed in admiration: "Hey——! There is also a beautiful junior sister! Brother, you are so polite!" After saying that, his eyes looked up and down at Xu Yue. Yue kept looking at him.
Xu Yue was caught off guard and her neck turned red.
"Hey! Who are you? Are you more talkative than Jiang?" Jiang Fangdi raised his eyebrows and said dissatisfied.
A hint of coldness flashed across Dai Yuanhai's expression and he remained silent. Lin Yi, who was behind him, also had a frown on his face. This villain-like figure was the man who pushed and teased him on the pier. He didn't know why he didn't bring his entourage, and why he came here.
The young man in Jinyi saw Jiang Fangdi staring at him with raised eyebrows. He quickly retracted Xu Yue's eyes and said with a flattering expression: "What do you call this senior brother? I am Jin Ke, who is also the foreigner recommended by the escort agency this time. Disciple. The steward of this escort agency is my grandpa, and we will all be my brothers from now on! Please take care of me, haha!" After saying this, he looked proud.
Jiang Fang's face softened a little, and he clenched his fists and said, "Jiang Fang, this is Dai Yuanhai, this is Miss Xu Yue, and the one behind this -"
"I'm Lin Yi." Seeing Jiang Fang pointing his finger at him, Lin Yi lost his pretentiousness on the dock. He said lightly, looking at Jin Ke calmly.
"Eh - is it you, a country bumpkin? Haha! This kid is very interesting!" Jin Ke suddenly felt happy when he saw Lin Yi, and said with a joking smile. His expression turned focused, and he asked with suspicion: "Why is your kid here? Could it be that--"
Seeing this, Jiang Fangdi wondered why the two met like this, and said hurriedly: "Since Brother Jin is also one of our own, we will have many opportunities to get along well in the future. I wonder if Brother Jin is also going out?"
Jinke rolled his eyes and said: "I heard from my grandpa that there are still a few companions living here. I haven't had time to visit you all, so I am going with you today so that we can get to know each other better." He finished. , smiled strangely at Lin Yi, took the lead and turned away.
Jiang Fangdi also laughed, signaled to the companions behind him, and then followed out.
Lin Yi believed that he did not offend Jin Ke, but that this person offended him first. Now, they had become companions inexplicably, which made him smile bitterly in his heart.
This world is so big that after you leave your loved ones, you can turn around and find yourself in different directions. This world is so small that you have to face annoying people and things repeatedly. This world is full of bad taste!
This Jin Ke looked down on his own clothes and deliberately teased and humiliated himself, taking pleasure in it.
All right! as long as you like it!
Lin grinned, with a slight smile on his face, and followed a few people out of the courtyard.
Several people walked out of the yard, led by Jin Ke, turned a corner, and walked out of the Longcheng Escort Agency through the side door.
On the street, Jin Ke invited Xu Yue and Jiang Fangdi to go together, and the three of them walked in front.
Jin Ke kept trying to please Xu Yue with words, which made this shy woman's face blush never fade. He was so happy that he shook his head and tail, and couldn't help himself. And he was afraid of neglecting Jiang Fangdi, so he joked and laughed with him from time to time. Along the way, these three people were talking and laughing.
Dai Yuanhai followed silently, his expression gloomy. Lin Yi had no choice but to stand behind alone, with his hands behind his back and a gourd swinging at his waist, looking around at the street scene.
Qincheng has three main streets in the east and west, one street in the north and south, and countless alleys connecting all directions. A tributary of the Qin River passes through the city, and in front of you is a huge stone arch bridge spanning both sides of the river. Boats swayed back and forth on the water, and the rising sun reflected the water's surface with sparkling light.
Lin Yi stood on the bridge and saw different scenery on the shore and on the water, but he felt the same happy mood.
Lin Yi has nothing to buy. His clothes were old and torn, and he had long been accustomed to them. Rather than going shopping, it's more like following Jiang Fangdi and others as a follower. As for the group of people, Xu Yue just added some gouache, rouge and the like, leaving Jin Ke hurriedly digging out money.
Xu Yuewan couldn't refuse, her cheeks turned red with embarrassment and she had no choice but to let Jin Ke's yellow face become more and more golden and radiant.
Qincheng is the largest city Lin Yi has ever seen. I am afraid there are not more than 100,000 people in this city. In the numerous shops on the street, there is a dazzling array of novel goods, which makes people dizzy; pedestrians are walking shoulder to shoulder on the street, bustling and bustling.
A few people walked around casually, and the time passed quickly, and before they knew it, it was noon.
Jin Ke kept shouting and wanted to treat everyone to a good meal. Jiang Fangdi was naturally happy, and Dai Yuanhai had no objection. Xu Yue no longer had any opinions.
Lin Yi shrugged, acting noncommittal. It's just that if you don't eat, you won't eat for free. He also followed several people into a restaurant.
The restaurant is booming and the restaurant is bustling with people. The first floor is so packed with diners that there is no room to stand.
A group of five people followed the waiter to the second floor, where there were still two empty tables near the window. Standing by the window, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of the river. It is also a good place to drink wine in the wind.
When Jin Ke saw Lin Yi following him, he felt even more proud. He smiled and said, "This must be Brother Lin's first time visiting this restaurant!"
The reason for Xu Yue’s current situation? This Jinke no longer calls himself a country bumpkin.
Lin Yi nodded calmly and said "Yeah".
"Haha! The name of this restaurant is 'Pingshui Pavilion'. The fine wine 'Xianren Zui' is even more famous, and the cooking of river fresh and rare birds is unrivaled! Sister Xu, I want to try it later! Haha, for my brother's sake. "
Jin Ke glanced at Lin Yi with a sarcastic look in his eyes, grinned at Xu Yue ingratiatingly, and then turned to Jiang Fangdi and said:
"Today is the first time I meet Brother Jiang, so we should drink a lot."
"Haha! Jiang is a straightforward person, and he is not vague about drinking." Jiang Fangdi laughed cheerfully.
Jin Ke sat in the main seat, Jiang Fangdi and Dai Yuanhai sat on the right, and Xu Yue sat alone on Jin Ke's left.
Lin Yi sat at the bottom, looking like he was waiting for the meal.
