The sound of roosters in the distance cut through the night, and when dawn came, Ji Jiu opened his eyes, and there was another person beside the pillow, who held him in his arms and was falling asleep with his eyes closed. He slept so deeply that Ji Jiu didn't even know when he woke up. Ji Jiu was stunned for a while at the unfamiliar scene in front of him. When he saw the person's face clearly, he immediately stood up, grabbed the clothes and put them on randomly, not even his shoes. Wearing it, he ran out barefoot, as if there was a ferocious beast chasing after him, picking up a piece of dust when he ran.

There is a river outside the barracks. Due to the terrain, the water in the river is not clear, with a cloudy yellow color of sand. There are villages a mile away from the river bank. Because the river water is unclean, every family digs wells for water.

Ji Jiu rushed to the river in one breath, and then jumped into the river without any hesitation.

The guards who ran with him all the way were stunned, looking at the general who sank to the bottom, not knowing what to do. After finally regaining his senses, he was about to open his mouth to call for help, when he remembered that his general was very good. Therefore, the general must not seek death. What is he doing? Did Tianmengming rush out of the tent to swim? Incredible.

The guard stood on the bank for a while, but finally couldn't help it. He crouched down and called to the rippling river: "General, general, general?"

Ji Jiu slumped in his chest in one breath, and sank himself into the bottom of the water, squeezing the water in all directions, until the chest cavity seemed to burst, and then suddenly jumped out of the water, smashed the water on his face, and looked at the black mass on the shore. Ying, after being silent for a while, said, "I'm upset, let's take a bath."

The guard was stunned again, and then said, "General, although this river is living water, the army uses it to wash horses and chamber pots...why are you taking a bath here?" It wasn't too dirty.

Ji Jiu smiled, her face could not be seen clearly in the dark, but she said inexplicably, "This water is cleaner than me."

The guards didn't understand, Ji Jiu understood, Ji Jiu didn't say anything, and sank into the water again. He didn't know how long he held his breath, and his brain was buzzing, and he opened his eyes in a trance. The turbid yellow river water poured into his eyes. His eyes instantly became sour, and even his mouth was filled with a sour taste. Bear.

He, who has been arrogant and arrogant for more than 20 years, doesn't even look down on the first beauty of Hualou, who is famous in Jianghuai, but now he is subservient and has become the ban of monsters. How can he bear it. If it weren't for his consistent and persevering temperament, I'm afraid that he has the heart to seek death.

Ji Jiu soaked in the river for an hour, the sky was bright, and then he took the change of clothes sent by the guards, dressed them carefully, and sent them back to the camp in wet clothes.

When getting up from the river, Ji Jiu saw the man standing under the willow tree on the bank. This is the first time Yimo has appeared in the sun. He is wrapped in a black robe and has long black hair. The sun is leaking from the branches of the willow, and it sprinkles spots on him. His indescribable dignity is like a god. come into the world. However, Ji Jiu couldn't be shocked, but his mood had calmed down, his eyes swept across his face calmly, as if it was just air, and he calmly left in front of him.

Ji Jiu knew that he had no way to take him now, but he was never the one who retreated in case of trouble, and there would definitely be a way. He firmly believed. It's just that three months have passed, and he stayed in Beijing to inquire about that man's confidant, but there was still no news. Ji Jiu knew that he would not be able to find it. However, he doubted that his secret spy, not to mention a petty Taoist, could even hear about the affairs of the palace. Why did he miss it this time? Maybe it was deliberately hiding, but not necessarily.

As soon as this thought surfaced, Ji Jiu had a scruple in his heart. Immediately wrote a letter, tied it to the leg of a pigeon, and flew out of the barracks.

Another two months later, Ji Jiu received an echo, and the Taoist found it.

Twisting the note, Ji Jiu was not unhappy, he was just cheating, spreading rumors that there were ghosts in the villages outside the city, and several people had died. Then the spies lay in ambush, and sure enough, they waited for the arrival to come. Demon priest. The sky is wide and the net is caught.

But the Taoist priest didn't say anything, he just wanted to see Ji Jiu himself with an angry face. Ji Jiuyuan just wanted to see him, so naturally he was willing. Immediately replied to the letter, asking him to go to the frontier fortress city for a briefing. Then another letter came, saying that someone had arrived.

After changing into light robes and civilian clothes, the guard led the horse. Ji Jiu drove the horse out of the training ground when he saw two people standing at the entrance of the barracks, seemingly arguing about something. One of them, Ji Jiu knew, was the corps commander of the army, while the other was armed in black, with a blue bag on his back and a sword in his hand.

Ji Jiu was curious and asked them what was going on.

The corporal pointed at the man with a face full of embarrassment: "This kid is unreasonable! The army is not recruiting now, but he insists on running to join the army. I asked him to come later, and he still stays here and doesn't leave. It's gone!"

Ji Jiu was also a little surprised, jumped off the horse and walked in front of the man, just glanced at it, and couldn't help but admire Hao Erlang in his heart! This orangutan has a back and a bee waist, sword eyebrows and star eyes, and is very handsome. Ji Jiu asked, "Where are you from?"

The man said: "Yongcheng."

Ji Jiu looked at him carefully again. Although he was a young man, he was tall but not arrogant and reckless. Instead, there was a calmness or restraint between his eyebrows. Outstanding. Ji Jiu felt his love for talent and let him stay. Order the corporal to bring the registration and practice with the soldiers. After giving the order, he said again: "The notice will be pasted from now on, and soldiers will be recruited in the army."

The corporal stunned for a moment and said, "There has been no war recently."

Ji Jiu smiled, "It will be there soon." Then he got back on the horse and drove away.

The horse's hoof raised a wisp of dust, like a strand of yellow silk, separating the sight. The young man should have followed the corps commander to enroll in the military, but he stood there, staring at the back of the driver.

The corporal took two steps away, then came back, grabbed his arm and said: "What are you looking at, that is our general Ji, the two generals in the army, this is the little general. It looks good, doesn't it? Don't look at him smiling. , you suffered during the military training! It's really a young man, what's wrong with being at home, but he wants to join the army..." He said and muttered all the way, and he was still wondering what the phrase "it will be soon" just now means.

The young man was pulled by him, and he didn't care, his face was still calm, and when he looked back occasionally, the horses and people over there had disappeared at the end of the road. Only then did I hear the corporal's muttering, and I couldn't help thinking in my heart, whether he is strict or not, I know better than you, and you have never been beaten in the palm of your hand by him.

Ji Jiu entered the city and entered the private room of the tea house. As soon as he ordered a pot of scented tea, the door was pushed open. The two of them, one on the left and one on the other, came in, wrapped in a Taoist priest with a childlike face like a wall. Respectfully called out: "Sir."

Ji Jiu asked them to step back, and then gestured to ask the Taoist to sit down, poured tea in person, and said with a smile, "It's hard to invite Xianjia."

The Taoist hated, "It's hard to invite you, but you're also 'inviting' to come here." A little bit, finally couldn't help the bad breath in his heart, and added: "You lied to me, but you lied to me, when are you evil? Can it be changed?"

Ji Jiu raised her eyebrows: "I only remember this time, where are you still lying?"

The Taoist was silent.

Seeing this, Ji Jiu was silent for a moment, and said, "Xianjia is a sensible person, and people who are out of this world don't care about ordinary people like me. Why don't you open the skylight and speak eloquently, what do you know?"

Xu Mingshi thought that I won't tell you. In fact, I don't know what to say, and I don't think it's appropriate to say anything. How could it be appropriate? The Shen Qingxuan they remembered has become the Ji Jiu of today. His appearance and temperament have not changed, which can be seen from the fact that he was kidnapped by cheating. But Ji Jiu wasn't all Shen Qingxuan anymore. All the good things of Shen Qingxuan in that life were directed towards them, and all the evil things were exposed to outsiders. But now they are outsiders.

We have become outsiders - Xu Mingshi couldn't help sighing deeply, he knew himself, he once had a love for Shen Qingxuan in that life, but he was taken first by the snake demon, and he also complained, but in the end he was a cultivator, Knowing that love and hate, self-control and external factors should not be involved, this relationship is gradually honed by time into a family relationship. After all these years, seeing the snake demon searching day after day, suffering from love and thinking without knowing it, it suddenly dawned on him that it was not necessarily a disaster that he did not get it. Those feelings were completely indifferent, but they felt sympathy for the snake, the wolf, and the person in front of him. Compassion and love. He loves the world, loves all things in nature, and loves all living beings.

He truly became a Taoist cultivator. It's just that he has a lively personality, and the temperament in his bones cannot be eliminated, so he lingers in the world to help those in distress.

In the end, he didn't really become an immortal, he was still a human body, so he followed the words of Shen Qingxuan in this life. Xu Mingshi really feels now that the big snake is not wronged, and it is really not wrong to be planted in the hands of such a person.

Ji Jiu saw the changing expression on his face, and finally fell into a daze, and couldn't help but say, "What's wrong?"

Xu Mingshi came back to his senses, looked at him for a long time, nodded and said, "I can tell you something."

"Speaking."

"The mark on your wrist was bitten by a snake in a previous life." Xu Mingshi looked at his wrist and said, "You poured a cup of tea on the snake, and he turned around and bit you. It should have been a balance of grievances, but this mark It shouldn't be brought to your life. But you are too obsessed with yourself and insisted on keeping the snake, so this imprint was born with you."

Ji Jiu was stunned for a while, looked at the marks on his hands, thought for a moment, and said, "Is it gone?"

"Your name was Shen Qingxuan in your previous life. You were the son of a wealthy family. According to your destiny, you should have been wealthy and noble, but you gave up your career and fame for...for that person, just to be by his side."

Ji Jiu frowned, "'That person'? Who is it?"

However, Xu Mingshi ignored him, and only picked up what he could say, and continued: "Because in your previous life, you did not show your nobleness, but in this life, you become the son of a general, making up for that wealth. It's just that in this life, although you are rich and famous, But if you kill too many sins, your life will be short. So... little general, let's relax and let the remaining ten years pass."

Ji Jiu didn't speak, as if waiting for him to continue speaking, but Xu Mingshi didn't speak, closed his eyes and meditated.

Ji Jiu said, "Is it gone?"

Xu Mingshi shook his head.

"that's it?"

"The secret cannot be leaked."

Ji Jiu stood up and said with a cold face, "What happened to the demon?"

Xu Mingshi was speechless and did not answer.

"You might have subdued him?" Ji Jiu also lost patience and went straight to the goal.

Xu Mingshi opened his eyes, "You want to get rid of him?"

"Of course."

"That's a demon who has practiced for two thousand years. Unless he is dead, he will not be easily destroyed..." Xu Mingshi said: "You should give up this idea."

Ji Jiu was still unbelievable: "No one can get rid of him?"

"Although he is a demon, he has never harmed anyone. If he really wants to say yes, that person will take it for himself." Xu Mingshi shook his head and said, "On the contrary, he does good deeds everywhere and has profound merit, but in a few hundred years, he will definitely be able to do it. Ranked in the fairy class."

Ji Jiu stood stiffly on the spot, his face lost his popularity, and the hand in his sleeve clenched into a fist unconsciously. There was blood, dripping from the palms of the fingers.

Seeing that, Xu Mingshi felt quite uncomfortable, and couldn't help but say, "Why do you do it? If you let go of your heart, you will be relieved if this life is over."

"This life?" Ji Jiu was stunned and returned to his senses, "Is it the same in his previous life?"

When Xu Mingshi heard him ask this question, he felt a little funny. He wanted to know about his past life, but you were pestering him. If you weren't obsessed, how could you be trapped by him in this world.

Tat after tick, nothing more than that.

Xu Mingshi said: "If you want to know the cause and effect, you should ask him in person."

Ji Jiu didn't ask, and didn't bother to ask, he had nothing to say to that person. No matter what, he begged him, knelt on the ground, kowtowed with blood on his face, and begged him with his self-esteem destroyed.

But he still didn't let him go, that's all. He doesn't ask him again. Since even these Daoists and monks had no choice, he had to save himself.

After breaking up with Xu Mingshi and returning to the military camp, in the next two months, Ji Jiu didn't have any gaffes. Whether Yimo appeared during the day or at night, he just ignored him and didn't look at him any more. Even on the couch, his eyes were tight. Closed, regardless of whether Yimo left or stayed after the event, he ignored his existence.

Still, don't say a word, don't ask a word.

Only occasionally, in the corner of his eye, Ji Jiu would glance at the thick bed. No one knew that a sharp dagger was placed under the heavy quilt, blowing the hair and breaking the hair. He just needs timing.

He had no one to ask for, so he had to find a way out on his own. Reckless.
