Chapter 289 Color Like Floating Clouds
When Mi August walked to the deck of the third floor, the floating boat was just about to set sail.
The view here is very good. I saw the translucent paddles on both sides of the boat unfolded and extended to double the length. It was as stunning and beautiful as I imagined.
One person walked up to her. Mi August noticed the other person when he was approaching, but did not look back.
Gong Yishu leaned his elbows on the deck railing, followed Mi's line of sight and glanced at the blades before looking back, "What's so interesting about this."
Mi August said openly: "It's the first time we meet."
Gongyi Shu seemed to be smiling but was not smiling, and he was too lazy to explore whether her words were true or false.
Anyway, she is full of contradictions, and the more she explores, the more she falls into an abyss.
After watching for a while, Mi August turned his attention to Gongyi Shu and found that although he was smiling, his face was clearly unhappy, so he asked: "What is it that makes you unhappy but you don't do anything about it?" ?”
According to Gongyi Shu’s personality, he will take action directly if he is unhappy. And as long as you take action, your emotions will be quickly vented and will not be brought to your face.
The current appearance is obviously filled with depression.
Gongyi Shu sneered, "Yin Qianshang."
Mi August showed an interested look and motioned for him to continue.
The Book of Righteousness did not hide its thoughts, "When will he make a breakthrough? It must be when I have just made the breakthrough."
At first glance, this statement sounds like Shu's pettiness. His anger was a little unreasonable, which made him look stingy. But Mi August soon understood the real dissatisfaction that Gongyi Shu wanted to express: Yin Qian ruined his chance to become famous.
When he first arrived in Lingzhou, Suo Wuchang had hinted that fame would be beneficial to a spiritual master's cultivation. Mi August also noticed the importance of reputation in various classics later on.
This importance is inconspicuous in the early stage of the spiritual master, but it seems to become particularly important at high levels. Specifically, how important and role it is, Mi August has not yet found a 100% answer, but he already has it in his heart. There is some speculation.
People from aristocratic families like Gongyi Shu must have known the secrets early on, so they worked harder to gain fame and fortune.
When he broke through to become a one-star spiritual master and became a disciple of Shu Pingsheng, he made an advertisement to the outside world, striving to be the first among the sons of Tongtian to break through to an official spiritual master before Mi August.
Although Mi August came from behind, he lagged behind for a while until he broke through two stars a few days ago. But it is also quite fast in terms of speed, and it will definitely attract a lot of attention if it is publicized.
As a result, within a few days of publicity, Yin Qianshang broke through four and shocked the audience, directly overwhelming all the recent hot news.
Compared with Yin Qianshang's entry into the middle-level spiritual master, even though Gongyi Shu's promotion speed was very fast, he was still overwhelmed.
In addition, from a low-level spiritual master to a mid-level spiritual master, it is a big step. Yinhuan Mansion held a big banquet for Yin Qianshang, with congratulations and gifts from all directions, and a Yinhuan auction. , the scene is really grand.
For a time, Yin Qianshang became famous in Lingzhou after being the ten-year-old son of Tongtian ten years ago and a ten-year-old spiritual master. Then after being silent for many years, he once again made everyone remember his name with a sweeping gesture, or It adds another layer of meaning to the name that I already remembered.
“I don’t know what secret method Yin Qian Shang has cultivated. Everyone in the world has been deceived by him. Anything that hurts the foundation and died prematurely must be fake. The ten years of silence are just for now, to play the blockbuster Clearly.”
Mi August heard the conversation of several inner disciples standing not far away. The disciple who said this was echoed by the fellow disciples around him.
No matter what the truth is, what this disciple says now is what most people think.
Mi August looked at the book of justice next to him who was unhappy about being "highly searched", and said with a smile: "Then you still go to celebrate him?"
"Of course I want to go Celebrate." The smile on Gongyi Shu's mouth widened, and he became more and more crazy, "Congratulate me with a knife."
Mi August: "Two stars versus four stars, you are not afraid of being beaten to death."
Gongyi Shu was quite calm, "If you can't die, you will be disabled for a period of time at most."
Mi August understood that the advantage of having a good family background is that it is not easy to die if you take the initiative to commit suicide.
“By the way.” Gongyi Shu glanced at her, “In addition to giving gifts and participating in the Silver Ring Auction, I will go to Miaomiao Mountain to use the Miaomiao Lotus later. Do you want to go with me? "
"That's my plan too," Mi August said with a smile, without mentioning another gift for the teacher.
The two stopped chatting after that, and Mi August went down to the first floor to observe the secrets of the paddles more closely. Gong Yishu was not interested in this thing, so he looked at her incomprehensibly and waved away.
It was almost lunch time, and I didn't know who told the handsome young man her whereabouts. He went to Mi August to inform her that she could have lunch.
As long as he is not obsessed with studying a certain experiment and forgets to eat and sleep, Mi August will always maintain the habit of eating three meals a day and return to his residence after being reminded.
This time, the handsome young man arranged the lunch and quietly retreated. He probably found that Mi August was really not interested in this aspect, so he behaved quite appropriately.
When Mi August finished his lunch, he rang the bell to ask him to come in and clean up, but the other party didn't make any unusual gestures.
When I went out again in the afternoon, I saw the young man standing outside the door again and not leaving.
Mi August was deep in thought and did not let him follow him, nor did he say anything to chase them away.
The pontoon at night is more lively than during the day, and there are more people on the deck than during the day.
The light of the glazed lanterns matches the starry night sky. No wonder the sight is so beautiful that it makes people linger.
On the deck, there are disciples sitting on the floor, and there are also low tables with cushions, covered with fine wine and delicacies, and beauties...
In addition to being more beautiful, this scene is actually the same as The scenes of kings, grandsons and nobles painting boats for fun in the mortal continent are no different.
When the secular continent was arty, they wrote poems and wrote poems. At this time, the inner disciples sitting next to each other also wrote poems and poems, but they really had their own beauty in the book, and their own golden house in the book.
I saw a man unfolding a painting, and in the painting a beautiful woman came out. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her eyes were like autumn water. She was not a beautiful face, but she had a pitiful temperament. As soon as she lowered her eyes, she screamed One couldn't help but feel pity for him, especially when he was so weak and weak. When he came out, he bent his knees and lay on the legs of the man who was sitting cross-legged, unable to speak.
On the other side of the man, there was a bright and beautiful girl waiting on him. When he saw the woman in the painting, her face became a little ugly.
“Look, I would say that this maid is beautiful, but not as charming as my delicate one.” The man’s hand was stroking the hair of the girl in the painting on his lap, he was quite proud of it. Show off to fellow disciples around you and get nods of approval from fellow disciples.
The expression of the serving girl was even more frustrated, and she pursed her lips.
The picture is beautiful, whether it is the scenery or the people, but once you understand certain truths, you can notice the corruption and ferocity beneath this beauty.
Mi August looked at the woman in the painting on the man’s lap.
This is a painted skin.
Trick weapon.
Judging from the solidity of the painted skin, it shows that the person who originally had this appearance and body was almost eaten.
The charming red sleeves in the male disciple's mouth represent a living human life. The other party said it in an extremely relaxed tone, and the speaker did not mean it, and the listener did not take it seriously.
As if aware of Mi August's gaze, 'Painted Skin' looked in her direction, with greed in his eyes that were always filled with mist.
Are you attracted to her skin? Mi August smiled lightly.
‘Painted Skin’ shuddered, his pupils tightened, and he suddenly lost his image.
"What's wrong?" The man noticed that his head was shaking in his hands, and he looked up and saw Mi August. His slutty expression calmed down, he became serious and saluted Mi August, looked at the painted skin at his feet, then looked at Mi August, and asked tentatively: "Mi August, are you interested in this painted skin?"
Mi August returned the favor, but did not answer the man's words.
The man smiled and said, "If you like it, I will give it to you."
The painting skin suddenly grabbed the man's trousers as if frightened, and tears flashed in his eyes, making him more charming.
The man was not moved at all and waved his hand to send it back to the painting.
At this time, Mi August said: "Thank you for your kindness, but no need."
The man did not give up, "You don't have to be polite to me. Even if you enter the inner gate and break through the two-star gift, I have never had the chance to interact with you before."
Mi August shook his head and smiled: "I just see how cunning you are. The instrument was well chosen. I prefer to create it myself rather than having others give it to me.”
After being complimented on his aesthetics and sensing Mi Ba8’s desire for exclusivity, the man gave up his intention of giving the gift and invited Mi Ba. The moon sits together.
Mi August was not interested and did not stay on this busy deck any longer.
After she left, several inner disciples at that table started chatting.
"It's a pity, it's really not easy to get along with her."
"She seems to be gentle, polite and easy to get along with, but in fact she is useless."
"The inner door told her The only ones who spoke were Gongyi Shu and Gouzhi. One is more alone than the other."
"I saw a servant at her door but she didn't bring him out. It seems that she doesn't like him."
The next day, Mi August knocked on the door and came in. Another person brought tea. This time it was a handsome man with fair skin and droopy eyes. He was somewhere between a young man and a teenager. He seemed to have a clear and innocent temperament.
But when the young man blushed, leaned against her nonchalantly, and stared at her with watery eyes, Mi August felt the need to chat with the person behind him.
She wanted to find the steward responsible for assigning the attendants. The young man who was asked to deliver the message turned pale for a moment and knelt on the ground directly begging her to let her go.
Mi August interrupted him to beg for mercy. His calm tone was convincing but did not allow for criticism, "Just go and send the message. I don't want to blame you."
The young man's eyes were red and he was obedient. After leaving, the steward came up not long after.
Mi August saw Lin Qi and raised his eyebrows.
Lin Qi saluted and called her Senior Sister. He explained in the first sentence, "I didn't arrange this person, it's just that the manager thought he was doing bad things with good intentions and violated Senior Sister's taboo and didn't dare to come. , let me intercede."
Lin Qi said with a smile: "I guess senior sister will not be angry about this, but she doesn't like these attentive arrangements."
Mi August. He nodded, not deliberately embarrassing him, and asked him to sit down and drink tea together.
Lin Qi followed the good example and continued to talk about the current matter, "Since senior sister doesn't like this, I will arrange for a sensible manpower to come when I get back." After saying that, he brushed his sister's face again and said, "Senior sister, I would have known better. On the list for this trip, I asked Lin Dai to apply.”
Mi August said: "I wanted to ask you before why you are here."
Lin Qi said: "Old students and disciples like us from the outer sect have begun to get involved in some affairs of the academy, and my senior sister also knows that I have I am serving in the General Affairs Pavilion of the outer gate. This time I am traveling to the inner gate. There are some places in the sect that you can apply for. These places are very rare for us outer sect disciples. I was able to get them only with the help of my senior sister.”
Since Mi August entered the inner sect, he has. I have less contact with her, and I can't even see her once. Now that he finally had the chance to meet again, Lin Qi spared no effort to flatter and get closer to him. However, he knew a certain degree and was somewhat familiar with Mi August, so his attentiveness was not annoying.
And Lin Qi’s words are true. After Mi August went to the inner sect, his status in the outer sect has not weakened but has improved. The reason is that everyone knows that he is one of the few people in the outer sect who is harmonious and harmonious. Someone Mi August could talk to and keep in touch with.
Mi August said: "Since the quota is so rare, what happened to those attendants."
Lin Qi hesitated for half a second, "I will tell the truth to Senior Sister. I will forgive you if I offend Senior Sister."
"Senior Sister was previously focused on studying in the outer sect and probably didn't pay much attention to the new disciples of the same class. This Some of the batch of attendants are the new disciples of this year’s outer sect, and some are people who have been selected and trained by the stewards early to serve.”
“These people are selected after being selected. Only those who are excellent in appearance, temperament and how they treat others can be selected to travel on the pontoon."
"They are very clear about what they want to do. The two parties have signed a contract, and there is no example of deception and abduction. . ”
“Most of the inner sect brothers and sisters are actually aware of this kind of operation.” Lin Qi looked at Mi August. It was obvious that this senior sister who came here from the Mortal Continent did not understand this. Hidden rules.
However, seeing that Mi August looked calm and not angry, Lin Qi continued, "When I was studying in the academy and practicing, this kind of transactions were not frequent. Once I came to the academy, there were rules everywhere, and if I was not careful, I would commit a violation and die. , and when the teacher discovered it, even though he didn’t blame him, it was still not a good thing. He would be in deep contemplation and lust, not knowing what to do. "
"It's different when you go out. You were practicing hard in the academy, but now you are relaxed and relaxed, and even the leader of the trip will turn a blind eye. Close one eye and ignore the actions of the disciples."
Lin Qi finished.
Mi August also understood the reason for the excitement on the deck, "I see."
Lin Qi said in a joking tone: "Sister, I don't know, but the attendant who sent you here is The best, in order to show their face in front of the senior sister, the top few fight for the head.”
Mi August smiled, not rejecting this ambiguous topic, not embarrassed or fond of it, just calm and calm.
Lin Qi: "Because senior sister didn't drive the person away, but she didn't get close to him, so the manager couldn't guess what the senior sister was thinking, so he kept the person there. Then he learned that the senior sister had praised him last night Senior Brother Lu’s painting, thinking that Senior Sister likes people with that style, led to the substitution this morning.”
In fact, even if Lin Qi didn’t say anything, Mi August had already guessed this from his previous words. The reason for the early substitution.
Let’s not talk about whether the manager had good intentions but did bad things. He actually put a lot of effort into her and paid attention to her every move, every word and every deed. If you meet a really nice person, you will most likely be very satisfied with their arrangements.
Mi August asked Lin Qi to send a message on his behalf, stating that he had no intention of doing this kind of transaction. This not only prevented the stewards from arranging relevant manpower, but also prevented the independent disciples from having any thoughts about her. And then do something annoying.
——This is not because Mi August is being sentimental, but from what Lin Qi said, it can be seen that this kind of transaction is more blatant in Lingzhou. It is something that everyone knows well and can obtain an equivalent exchange on the surface.
This also shows that under certain circumstances, this behavior of equivalent exchange will be bolder, such as showing some sweetness to the buyer as a temptation first.
Lin Qi agreed and said that he would handle the matter properly, and the exchange between the two ended here.
About ten minutes after Lin Qi left, a beautiful woman came to Mi August. If nothing else happened, she would be responsible for Mi August's chores for the rest of the trip.
The woman calls herself Bamboo Fish. She is usually very quiet. She smiles every time she talks to Mi August. She doesn’t say or do unnecessary things.
In the next few days, Mi August went out again. The men and women she met on the road no longer secretly made seductive gestures. Even the disciples of the inner sect looked at her differently. No one invited her to drink or listen to music at the same table. Yes, he would restrain his wanton behavior a little after seeing her appear. It can only be that they also heard some information.
After going out for the past few days, Mi August also found that there would be a night banquet on the deck every night, and each time it became more indulgent, so she stopped going out, so that Zhu Yu would not have to wait for the rest of the time and could go back. own residence.
"Do you want spiritual crystals or elixirs?" Mi August remembered that Lin Qi said that it was not easy for these disciples to come here, and the job of serving people was an equal transaction, even if she and Zhu Fish trading is not an unwritten rule, and wages should be paid for this period of time.
Zhuyu was stunned for a moment, then he was surprised and happy, "Thank you, senior sister. It's just senior sister, can I change it to something else?"
"What do you want?" Mi August explain.
Zhuyu said: "I have heard that senior sister is very knowledgeable. Back then..." She was so excited that she was about to count Mi August's feat of scoring points in the outer sect, but she stopped when she saw Mi August's calm eyes, and realized that she After talking too much nonsense, I quickly went straight to the topic, "I have a few questions for my teacher."
"You say it." Mi August said.
Bamboo Fish quickly expressed his questions about cultivation.
As soon as she asked, Mi August was able to answer.
The questions and answers were very fast, and it took less than three minutes to answer several questions.
Zhuyu knew that he would accept it as soon as it was good, and he was grateful again and again, "Thank you, senior sister, thank you very much, senior sister."
Mi August nodded.
"Senior sister, can I continue to stay here?" Zhuyu asked nervously again, knowing that Mi August didn't like to dawdle, and then explained: "The third floor is the best place on the pontoon, the aura is It's richer and more stable than the one below. In fact, I just wanted to say that it doesn't matter if the senior sister doesn't give me any reward. I've already earned it by being able to serve the senior sister on the third floor."
She blushed as she spoke. He stood up, as if ashamed.
Mi August didn't want to explore whether her blush was real or not, "It's up to you, but whatever you do next has nothing to do with me."
This means that the deal between the two of them has ended. It is okay for Zhuyu to stay on the third floor by using her identity as a servant. But if he has some small thoughts and tries to do something in her name, the consequences will be disastrous. The bamboo fish must bear it themselves.
Zhuyu understood and said in panic: "I understand, thank you, Senior Sister, I will not let Senior Sister down."
Mi August opened the door and walked in. He had already returned to Chunfeng Palace.
Bamboo Fish is waiting outside. When it is time to finish work on weekdays, no matter how reluctant she is, she must return to her original residence according to the rules. Of course, some people who are called into the house by the third-floor residents do not have to abide by this rule.
Bamboo Fish originally had an average status on the second floor, but since being assigned to serve Mi August, every time he returns to the second floor, he will receive a different courtesy than before.
People passing by would greet her, and Bamboo Fish would respond, all the way to find Lin Qi's residence.
Lin Qi happened to be in the house. When he heard that she was coming, he opened the door to let her in.
As soon as Zhuyu came in, he thanked Lin Qi, "Senior brother Xie Lin reminded me that senior sister Mi is really kind-hearted and has a gentle temper and is easy to get along with."
"I still have this kind of thing here. Set." Lin Qixi smiled. Feixiao said, "Even if you don't say this, Senior Sister Mi won't do anything to you."
Zhuyu smiled ingratiatingly, then told what happened in August of Mi, and told him all the things in return. You Mi gave her the solution in August.
There were so many disciples at the lower level, and there were not many who were better than her. The reason why she chose to be with Mi August was not because of Lin Qi, but also because she and Lin Dai were good friends.
Bamboo fish have a good habit of being well informed and not greedy when it comes to giving.
Lin Qi accepted what she had gained, then her face became serious, and her tone turned into a warning, "Since Senior Sister allows you to continue waiting, you should remember Senior Sister's kindness and don't do unnecessary things, otherwise Senior Sister will not be used. Take action, I'll deal with you first."
Zhuyu responded quickly, "Senior brother, don't worry, I won't be stupid."
Lin Qi stared at her for a while, and then he got it. Zhuyu made several promises before letting her go.
The floating boat traveled for a few more days, and gradually encountered some teams from other forces along the way, and they had some exchanges with each other. Someone mentioned Mi August, and the news they got was that she stayed in the house and never came out, and she didn't know what she was doing.
Due to some taboos in Lingzhou, it would be bad if the other party was disturbed while he was meditating. Therefore, when there was no friendship with each other, no one went out of his way to knock on Mi August’s door to invite someone. .
During the daily lively night banquet, the floating boat arrived at the headquarters of Yinhuan Prefecture.
On this Valentine’s Day, we are determined to be single in August! ! !
Handsome men and beauties: OK, OK, OK! If you don’t eat the meat delivered to your door, are you still a human being? !
Ba (Night Traveling God) Yue [smile]: Most of the time I really don’t behave like a human being.
