31 Spiritual 1
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding..."
Yu Shiqi heard the sweet sound of bells.
He tried hard to open his eyes, but found something covering his face, covering his eyes.
The thing wrapped around the body has the texture of a quilt, which is soft and comfortable.
The ringtone got closer and closer, and finally stopped in his ears, jingling incessantly.
"Miss Xiling?" he asked hesitantly.
"Hehe..." Xilingyue laughed. She seemed to be in a good mood when she heard the laughter, and then the sound of a plate being placed on the table came from the side: "Let's have something to eat when you wake up."
Yu Shiqi felt that it was too inconvenient to be unable to see things, but as soon as he raised his hand to touch the cloth covering his eyes, he was immediately stopped by Xilingyue: "Don't move."
"Your eyes were burned by the snow and you still need to rest." She came closer and held his sleeve: "Come over here, over here."
Yu Shiqi was arranged by her to a seat with a backrest, and his nose immediately smelled the aroma of food coming from the table in front of him. He was indeed hungry, but he did not rush to take action, but asked worriedly: "Xiling
Girl, did you save me again? What happened to the senior Fuji who was traveling with me? Where is this place?"
The sound of tables and chairs scraping against the ground could be heard in his ears. Xilingyue pulled up a chair next to him and sat down. He answered questions one by one: "I saved you again. I'm traveling with you."
The Yunzhongjian sect master has been awake for a long time. She came to see you when you were sleeping, and she should be in the lobby downstairs now. As for here... this is an inn called 'Youling'."
"Inn? So, I have left Kunlun in the Western Wilderness?"
"No, you are still in the Western Wasteland." Xilingyue told him seriously, "This inn was opened by us Ling tribe people. It is located in the center of a basin formed by the interlacing of five mountain ridges at the southern foot of Kunlun. It is also the east-west link in the southern foothills.
The main mouth."
The southern foothills of Kunlun... Yu Shiqi recalled the map in his mind, and his mouth opened involuntarily - he didn't expect that he had walked such a long way in the snowfield, and the direction was also ridiculously deviated.
The Western Wasteland is divided into two parts, north and south, by the Kunlun Mountains. The mountain camp they passed earlier was the hub connecting the north foothills to the east and west, but Xilingyue told him that he was now in the south foothills basin.
Xilingyue's voice continued to sound, and she said with a little pride in her tone: "This inn is not open all year round. We will only use it after heavy snow blocks the Western Wasteland. The main purpose is to help people stranded on their way home and give them
Provide a temporary place to rest."
"Is it to save the Eldar people?"
"Are you from the Ling Tribe?"
"I didn't expect that the Daxue Sect would do such a good deed." Yu Shiqi said with emotion, "I have never heard of such a thing in Chenlin Mainland."
Xilingyue sneered: "The Snow Sect that you heard about in the past is probably no different from monsters, right?"
Yu Shiqi did not deny it.
"The Daxue Sect doesn't care what outsiders think of it, just like I don't care what you think of me. Well, let's stop chatting here." She slapped the table and stood up, took two steps and thought about it before turning back, the bells jingling.
It fell on the table.
"Since you are no different from a blind person now, I will leave these bells here. If you have anything to do, just shake the bells vigorously." She pushed the bells to Yu Shiqi's hand and at the same time told her: "This is important to me.
I only borrowed this thing for your convenience because I had a good impression of you after we met several times. If you lose it or break it, I can't forgive you, remember?"
"I'll remember it." Yu Shiqi nodded slightly and suddenly called her again.
"What's wrong?" Xilingyue just wanted to leave.
"Can you please help me invite the senior of Yunzhongjian?"
"Let's wait until evening, she still has things to do now." Xilingyue rejected him lightly, and explained by the way: "This is not a Bodhisattva temple for alms. We have to charge money to take you in, and we only charge Xihuangtong money.
, Chenlin Empire’s silver certificates will not be accepted. If you can’t pay, you have to help work at the inn, and your senior is now helping the cook there.”
After hearing this, Yu Shiqi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up.
Xilingyue was slightly startled and asked him what he was going to do without thinking.
"You... didn't make things difficult for her, did you?" Yu Shiqi's face was sullen, and his tone also revealed his worry.
Xilingyue observed his expression with interest and asked curiously: "You seem to care about your senior?"
"Since the girl said that the rules here are not to support idlers, then I will go down to help. Please arrange things for me."
Seeing that he did not answer her question, but instead asked her to arrange things for him, Xilingyue couldn't help but smile.
"I already know the Master's intention. However, forcing a blind man to do things would seem to be too inhumane on our part. Just take a good rest."
She glanced at the plates on the table and said, "If you don't eat the food, it will get cold. Don't waste it." Then she closed the door and left.
Yu Shiqi sat alone in the room, silently picking up the food that Xi Lingyue had prepared for him from the plate on the table. Judging from the texture of the food, it seemed to be white-faced steamed buns. When he took a hard bite, he was struck by the inside.
The cumin and onion meat slices sandwiched between them will make your mouth water.
It smells so good... Yu Shiqi recalled the days in Xihuang. Except for the scallion and mutton scones he got from Teng Yining on the day he met her, he had almost never eaten cooked, hot and delicious meat food. In the snowy field,
During the trek, I ate dry food with snow in my mouth until I felt like vomiting. How could it not be touching to be able to eat such carefully prepared cooked food at this moment?
After wolfing down the two steamed buns on the plate in a few mouthfuls, and then downing the cup of butter tea in one gulp, Yu Shiqi let out a long breath, feeling that he suddenly regained his strength.
If it hadn't been for Xilingyue's serious warning just now, he would have really wanted to take off the medicine from his eyes immediately and take a good look at this inn.
"Duk duk duk", a knock on the door rang outside. Yu Shiqi was curious about the identity of the person who came, so he agreed and let the other person open the door and come in.
"The young shopkeeper asked me to collect the plates. Have you finished your meal?"
Yu Shiqi felt that this voice was extremely familiar. He thought hard in his mind for a while, and then suddenly thought: "You...are you Senior Yinxue?"
"Yes, the young master has a very good memory."
"Senior's voice... is very distinctive." Yu Shiqi had no choice but to reply.
Yinxue's voice was very deep and had a rare magnetism in women, so she gave him a very majestic feeling when they first met.
"There are no seniors here, I'm just an ordinary handyman." Yinxue seemed to remind him to pay attention in the future, "The guests don't know our identities, the young master is an exception. I hope you can understand."
"Don't the Great Snow Sect want the world to know that you are doing good things?" Yu Shiqi felt strange.
"But do good deeds and don't ask about the future." Yinxue said softly, "The reputation of the Snow Sect has long been established in the Western Wilderness, and it has also been established outside the Western Wilderness. No matter what we do, it will be the same. Don't let the guests know.
Accepting help from the Great Snow Sect can actually make them feel at ease, what do you think, Master?"
Yu Shiqi thought about her words, nodded and said: "I have learned a lesson."
Yinxue put away the plates and saucers on the table: "Then I won't disturb the young master's rest."
Yu Shiqi heard the sound of the door closing again, and suddenly felt a little confused in his heart - Yinxue's attitude towards him was completely different from that in the goddess's mausoleum, but he did not dare to ask him directly face to face, so he had to make random guesses in his mind.
.
Is it because he found the antidote for her?
He unconsciously lay down on the table, and his arm accidentally touched the pair of bells left by Xi Lingyue. Due to excessive force, he actually knocked them out of the table.
The bell fell to the ground and made a jingling sound. Yu Shiqi jumped up from his seat, with cold sweat breaking out on his back.
The sound of footsteps came from the corridor outside. After a while, Xilingyue opened the door and said, "What's the matter?"
When she opened the door, she didn't see anyone at first. There was a confused expression on her face for a moment. Then her eyes dropped, and she finally found Yu Shiqi lying on the ground groping, his hand passing by the bell several times without knowing it.
