Chapter 42 The Disappeared Ji Ping'an

"Young master, it's night, go back to the house and rest."

The door opened, and Huang He came out, persuading him in a low voice.

The phantom in the depths of Ji Ping'an's eyes suddenly faded away, and the dao rhyme that was inadvertently leaked also dissipated.
"Okay." He stood up, stretched lazily, and said casually, "When you go out later, do a little thing for me."

Huang He moved the rattan chair into the inner hall, first said "Yes", and then asked curiously, "Or spread the news?"

Ji Pingan shook his head, and said, "Send me a letter to Yu Yu, the Holy Maiden of the Orthodox Church. Let her fulfill her promise."

Huang He was stunned, recalling the scene of the saint leaving Ji Ping'an's residence, his eyes became strange.

So, the saint really has something to do with the young master, right... What does it mean to fulfill a promise?

While thinking about it, Ji Pingan went back to the house and wrote a letter, sealed it with wax, handed it to him, and said: "Leave after two sticks of incense, remember to leave through the north gate."

Huang He was puzzled, but still honestly stuffed the envelope into his arms, and wrote down carefully: "Yes."

I murmured in my heart: My son has been very mysterious recently, and he has to specify the time and which door to go to when sending a letter.

What he didn't know was that according to Ji Ping'an's divination results, this path was "good luck", which could ensure that he could send the letter successfully without being noticed.

……

Qingyun Palace, Ji Garden.

When night fell over this cold and secluded house, Yu Yu stepped across the hanging flower door with a lantern in his left hand and a food box in his right hand.

Although Xin Yaoguang has reached the bigu state early, he has not yet given up his appetite, and occasionally he will send his disciples to bring it to him when he gets hungry.

"Master," the petite maiden in a red and white priestly robe knelt on the ground and said with a smile on her porcelain-like face:

"I heard that the peach blossoms in Shendu City are the most beautiful in the past two days. Those literati even held a spring outing poetry meeting, which was quite lively."

Xin Yao sits in front of the table with her knees, her feathers are scattered on the ground like a lotus leaf, she writes the last stroke with her hand holding the pen holder, puts it aside, turns her head, her slender phoenix eyes are full of smiles:

"Want to go out and play?"

Yu Yu leaned over coyly, raised his pink fist to the master's back and squeezed his shoulders, flatteringly said: "That's not true. The main thing is that you can also enlighten the Tao by transforming into a mortal, so I just want to become a mortal..."

As a saint, she has intensive homework and rarely has the opportunity to go out to have fun.

Xin Yaoguang put on a serious face, and reprimanded: "With your cultivation level, you still want to transform into a mortal?"

Yu Yu pursed his lips aggrievedly.At this time, footsteps approached outside:
"Reporting to the head teacher, Chen Huanghe, the chief inspector of Qin Tianjian, has arrived and said that there is a letter to be delivered to the saint."

letter?
Xin Yaoguang glanced at his disciple suspiciously, and grabbed him from the air.

Suddenly, a letter passed through the door and appeared in her hand. The headmistress lowered her eyes and handed it to the equally bewildered saint.

Yu Yu tore off the sealing paint, swept it roughly, and said in surprise: "It was sent by Ji Pingan. He asked me to meet him tomorrow and asked me to help him if there is something wrong."

about?
Xin Yaoguang keenly grasped this word: "When did you get so close to him?"

Yu Yu said angrily: "No. It's not the last time I went to ask him about Master Liyang. When I left, I thanked him and casually said that I owe him a favor. This person actually took it seriously."

Hmm...she wouldn't say: it was Ji Ping'an's promise that she gave with a dark face because she was run over by Ji Ping'an's words of "shouldn't you repay me for helping you?"

Xin Yaoguang said solemnly: "Since it is a promise, it should be kept. Since you are a saint, don't you know that our sect values ​​karma? Tomorrow, I will give you a day off to pay back the favor."

"Oh." Yu Yu looked reluctant, but his heart was jumping with joy: You can go out to play in a legitimate way.

……

The next morning.

After breakfast, Huang He picked up his books and prepared to go to Four Seasons Pavilion for class.

Ji Pingan did not follow, saying that he would not go in the morning.

As a top student with top grades in astronomy and astrology, who mastered the art of picking flowers and flying leaves in an instant, skipping classes is a privilege.

Huang He was not surprised, but just before leaving, he had a whim and couldn't help asking, "My lord, are you alright?"

This sentence was a bit abrupt, without beginning and end, but maybe after becoming a star official, his sixth sense had been strengthened, and Huang He was inexplicably worried, always feeling that something might happen today.

Ji Pingan was lying on the rattan chair, holding a book in his hand, and said with a smile, "It's okay. You can concentrate on your cultivation."

Huang He nodded hesitantly, and rushed straight to the Muyuan, obeying the young master's instructions, and it has become a habit not to inquire.

When the gate of the courtyard was closed, Ji Pingan showed a thoughtful expression. According to his deduction, he would face a crisis today... Well, how will it come, I am looking forward to it.

Putting down the book, Ji Ping closed his eyes and took a rest, the peach tree blooming above his head was very beautiful.

Unnoticed, his fingers tapped lightly and irregularly on the armrest.

However, if there are Marquis-level Star Officials present, they will be extremely surprised. It is almost impossible to do astrology divination out of thin air without the help of an astrolabe in the Qi Cultivation Realm... This is almost impossible.

Time passed.

Suddenly, his tapping on the handrail stopped.

The next moment, the gate of the courtyard was knocked, and a strange Dianzhong walked in respectfully, and said, "Ji Sichen, Xu Jianhou's warrant, please go to Baidi to get a resource."

Baidi...is a river embankment of a tributary of the Hun River in Shendu, which is relatively well-known.

In the Qin Tianjian, each courtyard received materials from outside, and it was true that disciples were often ordered to carry them out.

After receiving the warrant and confirming the imprint on it, Ji Pingan thought with some disappointment: After all, there are no new tricks.

"Okay, I'll go now." He smiled brightly.

……

Wooden courtyard, somewhere in the attic.

An incense burner is placed in the center of the room, and a pill is suspended inside, and the illusory flame burns and emits dense pill energy, covering the surroundings.

Wearing a dark green official robe, Xu Xiurong, who had trembling eyelashes on his oval face, sat cross-legged in meditation, absorbing the power of medicine to heal his injuries.

Suddenly, her heart throbbed, and the warning from the stars forced her to wake up from meditation.

"Why are you suddenly uneasy? Could it be that something happened in the courtyard again?" Xu Xiurong opened his eyes, feeling the warning signs in the dark, restless.

She spread her bare hands, and a hexagonal astrolabe emerged, with complex star patterns flickering and connecting.

In an instant, she completed a horoscope, and the result was a sinister aspect, but she couldn't trace the source of the sense of crisis.

Xu Xiurong frowned. With her "sitting in a well" cultivation base, the success rate of divination is not low. Although there are failures from time to time, they usually don't get nothing.

Unless... the events involved are at a higher level, or someone intervenes.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiurong didn't dare to delay, and disappeared into a speckled spot of light, appearing in the Four Seasons Pavilion.

"Master? Why did you leave the customs?" A group of people were in class, and they were surprised when they saw her coming.

Xu Xiurong's eyes swept across the crowd: "Is something happening in the courtyard?"

The middle-aged Si Li shook his head: "Nothing unusual."

"Where's Ji Ping'an? Why isn't he here?" Xu Xiurong felt relieved when he heard this, and suddenly realized that there was someone missing.

Huang He explained: "My lord is resting at the residence..."

He was a little embarrassed, feeling ashamed and nervous as if the principal came to check the class and covered up the classmate who skipped the class.

Not here...Xu Xiurong's heart skipped a beat, without saying a word, he turned into starlight and fled away, appearing outside Qinglian Xiaozhu not long after.

She pushed open the courtyard door, only to see that the elegant small courtyard was empty, and there was no one on the rattan chair under the peach tree.

At this moment, the uneasiness in her heart became more and more intense. Xu Xiurong took a deep breath, turned around and flashed to a nearby Diangu who was sweeping the streets: "Do you know where Ji Ping'an went?"

Dian Gu was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "The villain has seen the Marquis of Jian."

"Let me ask you, where did you see Ji Ping'an go?" Xu Xiurong's voice turned cold.

Dian Gu hurriedly said: "Ji Sichen seems to have gone out, oh, that's right. When he left, the villain asked, and he said that he had your warrant and went to Shendu to get some things. He has been away for a long time."

Boom - Xu Xiurong's mind was like thunder.

A chill welled up in my heart, and the hanging fingers were tightly clenched, and the voice was involuntarily raised and sharp:

"What did you say?!"

……

……

In Shendu City, near Baidi.

"Where is that guy, he won't lose sight of my saint." Yu Yu muttered while standing in an alley.

In order to avoid attracting attention, she did not wear the iconic red and white Taoist robe today, and she also considered that she was so good-looking that she would easily attract libertines.

She deliberately changed into an ordinary skirt and covered her face with a black gauze.

Looking at it suddenly, it is no different from the countless young girls on the river bank.

Just as she was muttering and preparing to cast a spell to find someone, a figure wearing a bamboo hat walked over the crowd.
