Chapter 53 Rescue
After Xi Yan recovered from his injury, he did not stay in the room assigned to him by others, but followed Ni Hua all the way back to her courtyard.
Ni Hua also had to deduce formations at night, and learned that her senior brother would not be able to come back for half a year after he went down the mountain. The progress of her recent strategy task had stopped, but her homework did not stop.
Xi Yan also became an official transfer student. Based on his mission progress and level of cultivation, he and Ni Hua were assigned to different peaks.
Nihua's cultivation was promoted to a higher level. When choosing elective courses, in addition to the sword formation, he also chose another talisman formation.
By coincidence, she was a science student in her previous life. The formation is actually somewhat similar to modern arithmetic. She understands the arithmetic of the Nine Chapters of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches. She can use a modern thinking logic to quickly form words with specific meanings into a pattern, and understands the corresponding "doors" in the formation. Which direction, if you can identify the corresponding meanings of each direction of the formation, and master the underlying logic, it will be relatively easy to learn.
Ni Hua was setting up a formation in her room. When she heard a knock on the door, she opened the door and looked at Xi Yan holding a dozen blank talismans under the moonlight.
Xi Yan took a serious look at the pretty figure on the ground, held her breath and stood there holding a lamp.
Ni Hua looked at the young man in white clothes and dark hair in front of her and sighed. She happened to have to stay up all night, so she let him in.
The cinnabar floated into the air, and Ni Hua was attracted by the bit of red. She looked at Xi Yan humming and drawing the talisman beside her, and she wanted to finish the homework for the past half month and paddle the water. Fishing, so she conveniently taught him how to set up the formation.
Ni Hua had just finished talking to Xi Yan. She didn't expect that he was very talented. Xi Yan immediately performed a star chart of intermediate difficulty. Ni Hua was both complicated and gratifying. She felt happy to be a role model for others. There is another concern about his character. She began to teach him some more advanced but not very practical formations one after another.
They got along like this without any pain. After more than half a month, Xi Yan had already mastered the skills, at least he was able to imitate the neon formations. Ni Hua wanted to test him, so he set up a double formation. After stepping in, he could amplify his fantasy.
Ni Hua led him into the formation. After staying for a while, she quickly found the trick. After being sleepy for a while, she came out. She turned her head and looked at the empty seat next to her. Xi Zhan did not come out yet. She I feel a little surprised.
While studying, she clearly felt that Xi Yan was in a relatively relaxed state, which meant that his theoretical knowledge was pretty good, and that was because of himself. Ni Hua wanted to see what his fantasy was. She roughly calculated where he was, and in the blink of an eye she went in again. She walked in and was in a black mist.
Looking up, she saw a sky full of stars and a moon.
Going further, she saw the moon slowly sinking and saw two people sitting on the roof.
Ni Hua shouted in the air, Junior Brother.
A man jumped down from the eaves. Xi Yan looked back at the people under the eaves who were watching the moon with him, and then at the neon lights in front of him. Then he laughed slowly, and while the neon lights were still there, Before I could see clearly, the shadow sitting on the eaves looking at the moon fell into pieces.
Xi Yan wanted to hold her hand, but her fingers moved and she quickly put them down. He rubbed his fingers. She said with a bit of joy in her voice, "Senior Sister, you are here."
Nihua directly grabbed the hem of his clothes and didn't find anything special about it. She just thought that he stayed because he was unfamiliar and found it novel. He brought out the phantom formation.
However, after Nihua took Xi Yan's hand, before she could feel the warmth on his body, the scene in front of her suddenly changed.
Ni Hua narrowed her eyes and decided to follow his fantasy. Through an invisible black mist, she actually saw him when he grew up.
Except for looking like him in the future, Xi Yan's temperament has not been imitated at all. Ni Hua touched his chin and looked at him. Is this him imagining what his future will look like?
What amuses Ni Hua is that after "he" discovered Ni Hua, he looked at Ni Hua for a while, and then immediately wanted to run away.
Ni Hua chased after him and caught the black mist. Ni Hua looked at "him" condescendingly, raised his eyebrows and said displeasedly, "Why are you running?"
"Xi Yan" had a mole in the corner of his eye, and looked down at Ni Hua grabbing his wrist. At that moment, he actually felt the warmth. He stood on the spot like a wooden man, looked up at Ni Hua, and revealed a A complex and vicissitudes of smile, his soft murmur seemed like a sigh. "Senior sister."
Ni Hua looked at him blankly, his eyes were stained with ink color, and his eyelashes like long crow feathers were drooped, as if they were covered with ice and snow that would not melt for many years.
When Ni Hua saw this smile, he was shaken all over, and the people in his hands fell away.
"Senior sister." A familiar voice came to my ears. Ni Hua did not come back to her senses. She looked at Xi Yan who had just appeared next to her, and then at Xi Yan as the black mist gathered and dispersed.
It’s strange.
Ni Hua was thinking about what the situation was. Zhouzhuang dreamed of butterflies, or butterflies dreaming of Zhouzhuang. Whether this was his fantasy or her own, Nihua couldn't tell for a moment.
Looking up at the stars in the sky,
Nihua was suddenly forced out of the illusion by the owner of the illusion. She saw Xi Yan breathing heavily and looking at her Seems nervous.
"Senior sister, why are you here?" Xi Yan was a little cautious, but also happy.
Ni Hua stared at Xi Yan with deep eyes.
Xi Yan turned his head away, and his ears suddenly turned red, as if something on his mind had been exposed.
Ni Hua originally wanted to explore what was going on with that black shadow, but looking at his performance, she was not sure again. She thought of the two people under the eaves who were watching the moon quietly, and looked at Xi Xi. Yan became increasingly suspicious.
Xi Yan didn't know that Hei Yi had been in contact with her. He was defeated by the look at Ni Hua and he hurriedly left here.
Ni Hua looked at his back and fell into deep thought. She looked up at the flower-protecting bell under the eaves of the Moon River. She turned around and closed the door.
The series of anomalies made Ni Hua constantly reflect on Xi Yan's various behaviors, and finally came to an absurd result.
No way, it's impossible, it's not what she thought.
Ni Hua expressed that she really wanted to call the system to help her analyze it.
"Senior sister, did you hear that someone dreamed of you?" Mu Chenxiang went to find Nihua early in the morning, and listened to Nihua's expressionless speech that started with "I have a friend." Dream, she bit into the dessert and her jaw suddenly dropped.
"Senior sister is beautiful and talented. I will also dream about senior sister. I must like it!" Mu Chenxiang said without worrying, "If it's just the opposite sex, senior sister, I will do it for you." Give him a good beating! This is too much!"< br>
Ni Hua was slightly lost in thought. She wiped her spiritual sword over and over again in the courtyard full of apricot flowers. She watched the wind blowing over her ears and temples, and then looked at Xi Yan's own hands in her courtyard. After making apricot blossom cake, she began to deliberately avoid getting into trouble with Xi Yan. She sighed. Although Xi Yan was a good cook and fed herself on time, it was Director Yun who she wanted to conquer from beginning to end.
Xi Yan saw that she was avoiding him deliberately and abruptly. He stood outside the Nihua Courtyard without coming in. The setting sun hit half of his face. He gently bent down and put together today’s homework and The gift was placed at the door of her courtyard and she left quietly.
The next day, she rode her sword and passed over the peaks of the Xuantian Sect. Xi Yan watched the paper crane in his hand move, and followed her eagerly. The Xinghua in the dream will always pass, and he can have more new memories with his senior sister.
After Nihua finished her homework, she received letters from distant places. After she went out for training for the first time, she often received letters from them, sometimes from Jian Lingjiao, sometimes from Qin. Wan Wan or someone else...
Ni Hua is not good at expressing, so he becomes a quiet listener.
The long spring has passed and autumn has come. Nihua's cultivation has stabilized and she is qualified to go down the mountain.
However, just when Nihua was about to go down the mountain to practice, he heard the gossip. After another lair of Qiansi Silkworm Poison was taken away, another mysterious force set a trap and killed those righteous people. They arrested them all and dumped one body a day at different locations. The various sects are notifying other elders to rescue people.
Ni Hua inquired about the approximate location and suddenly trembled. This was a plot point, but it seemed to have happened in advance.
A month ago, Nihua couldn't contact her senior brother, and she happened to be in this familiar place, so she felt uneasy.
“Master, I’m going too!” Ni Hua asked Sikong Zhen to join the plan.
Sikong Zhen made another pot of hot tea and didn't say anything about Nihua going to cause trouble. After all, her painting spirit was very difficult to cultivate, so saving people was also an advantage.
"However, I am afraid that you are brave and foolhardy. If you beat a dog with a meat stick, you will never come back." Sikong Zhen gave Nihua a lot of magic weapons to protect her before she went down the mountain, "Remember , run as far as you can, just ask for some information Okay, leave the rest to them."
Before going down the mountain, Ni Hua sorted out the roster of the Demon Locking Tower over and over again, and finally found several suspects. She repeatedly asked the master to pay attention. their movements.
After Nihua joined the team going down the mountain and learned the exact news about her senior brother, her fingers trembled and the corners of her mouth twitched.
Ni Hua said that he had never heard of something so outrageous. Director Yun could not hide his upright appearance in his whole temperament, and he even wanted to pretend to be an undercover agent and wanted to penetrate into the enemy. Who was it? Bad idea?
Xi Yan hid his figure at the door of the sect and quietly watched Ni Hua's back going down the mountain. He clutched the talisman in his hand tightly and watched the sunset turn into an afterimage, gorgeous and strange.
Xi Yan sighed softly, "Liar, senior sister...she is indeed a liar. She promised not to abandon me..."
Xi Yan turned around and went to Nihua's courtyard. , and sure enough, he saw a paper crane flying towards him in the courtyard and stopping at his fingertips.
Ni Hua searched for clues before getting the news about the hidden line. Today there is a chance to sneak into the enemy.
Ni Hua made herself look disgraceful. She finally got her identity and replaced someone else. When she saw the person who came to replace her, the two looked at each other and Xi Yan lowered his head with a guilty conscience.
Ni Hua: "..."
Ni Hua patted Xi Yan on the head. She knew that he was not a peaceful person, so she should be on guard. Now that the matter had come to this, in the end she just gently He said, "Pay attention to safety."
The person selling the elixir is indeed here Went to this remote village to pick people. After Nihua replaced someone else, she pushed her own cultivation level to the same level as that little girl. She can be regarded as a person who has lived another life, and her acting skills cannot be considered too bad. , she made her eyes dim and dull.
Ni Hua raised her head and saw Xi Yan's timid face and slight expression. She curled her fingers. He was so good at acting!
Those people were picking and choosing, and two people were finally picked.
Among the bunch of death row prisoners, they were not considered important "medicine people". She took advantage of the time when no one was around and let go of her spiritual sense to explore for a while. After killing one person through the painting spirit, she replaced that person.
Another day, the supervision was a little looser, and Ni Hua cautiously walked to the end of the prison.
Hearing the sound of water dripping, Nihua looked up and saw her senior brother locked inside vaguely at the end of the water prison.
Director Chang Yun has a spirit-locking spell on his body, and behind him is a huge black formation talisman. His spiritual power has been locked away, and there is a sword stuck in his body. The blood on the wound keeps flowing. .
Ni Hua glanced at it from afar, not daring to stay any longer. When she went back, she imitated her original appearance, standing hunched over at her post, but she was complaining in her heart that her senior brother’s acting skills were so good. Bad, what can I do badly? I want to be an undercover agent, why can’t I think so...
They infiltrated into the enemy, and the enemy naturally had their own secrets, and they were also looking for undercover agents. People were in panic every day.
When someone was executed again, they did not dare to act rashly. Nihua was afraid that it was someone from his own sect, and he was also afraid that he was being used to fish for law enforcement.
On the seventh day after being given the medicine, when the effects of the medicine began to take effect, she simply used two painting spirits to stay where she was, and she and Xi Yan used two other identities to act.
Sneaking into the head of the consul, Ni Hua also discovered another kind of deception. There were some people who were deceived into making medicine and defrauded into this industry. Some people used the name of a small sect to make money. In the name of recruiting disciples, they recruited people in some small villages and were tricked into joining.
Since encountering a loophole last time, Nihua studied several spells when he returned to the sect, sealing off the connection between himself and the aura of the painting spirit.
After getting acquainted with each other in a small area in this territory, her behavior became even bolder. Ni Hua infiltrated into the people who guarded the director Chang Yun.
I’m also glad that Director Yun used someone else’s face when he first sneaked in. Apart from being a bit miserable, the person guarding Director Yun didn’t have a high level of force. Ni Hua came closer and saw that Director Chang Yun's eyes were completely distracted. She shushed in a low voice. She didn't even dare to reveal her identity and blinked at him.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Nihua hurriedly knelt on the ground again, waiting for the person above to come over.
A black man wearing a mask came over vigorously. After coming to take the blood of Director Yun, the masked man sneered and stabbed Director Yun Yijian again, "Arche, let's get to know each other. Don’t blame me. If you want to blame me, blame you for ruining my relationship.”
Director Yun coughed and coughed up blood, “You are shameless!”
Ni Hua raised her head carefully. She looked at Director Yun thoughtfully. He had been locked up for so long and his mask had not fallen off. It seemed that the senior brother was not helpless to fight back, but was preparing to lurk for a while longer, working together inside and outside, to defeat them. Catch them all in one go.
