Volume 2: Memories of Yonghui (Part 1) Chapter 7: A Little Break

"Sister Chenyu, are you really going to give me such a precious medicine?" Yao Ji looked at the yellow pill in her hand and felt a little scared. Although the pill looked ordinary, it faintly exuded the fragrance of osmanthus.
If it was given by someone else, it would probably be considered an ordinary small pill. However, this special gift from the eldest daughter of the Shen family in Wucheng, how could it be compared to an ordinary pill?
Knowing that Yao Ji had exhausted her spiritual power in breaking the formation before, the eldest daughter of the Shen family generously gave Yao Ji the pill that her father had carefully given her before leaving as a reward for her emergency.
Mo Yi noticed the cautious expression of the eldest daughter of the Shen family, and the way she carefully took out pills from her purse. He wondered in his heart whether that was the Shen family's world-famous "Nirvana Huifeng Pill", a holy product that was said to be able to increase a person's cultivation several times and instantly restore the vitality of even a dying person.
As expected, Shen Chenyu said to Yao Ji with pride, "This is the sacred item of my Shen family, the 'Nirvana Huifeng Pills', which is worth a fortune in the world. Even my father, who is known as the King of Medicine, spent decades to make only ten pills. You have been kind to us before, and I must repay the kindness of others. And I am grateful that you don't despise my appearance and call me sister. You deserve this gift."
Yao Ji held the pill in her hand, looked at Shen Chenyu's persistent expression, and no longer refused the other party's kindness. She swallowed the pill in one gulp, closed her eyes and regulated her breathing for a long time, and unexpectedly found that the spiritual power in her body was constantly gathering towards Dantian like a spring, and her breathing was several times faster than usual...
Mo Yi raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips, as if he noticed the recovery of Yao Ji's spiritual power. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this was indeed a blessing for a fool, and kindness brings good fortune. He didn't know that the look he gave Yao Ji now was so gentle and peaceful.
However, he did not expect that after half an hour of swallowing the pill, Yao Ji's previous weak and tired state was reversed, and she looked more energetic than expected, or should it be said that she was full of energy?
Could it be that the drug also has side effects? Mo Yi looked at the three people in front of him who had become so close without knowing when, with a strange look.
Yonghui City, fun things, stroll and other words like that.
Yao Ji, who was lively and active by nature, felt her hands and feet stiff after lying in bed for two days. She couldn't help but want to go out for a walk to stretch her muscles.
The duo who were repaying their gratitude were obviously not quiet people. They always went to places where there was excitement. When they heard that the little girl wanted to go out for some fresh air, they naturally hit it off.
Because she had left in a hurry, Yao Ji arrived at Yonghui City almost on time. Naturally, she did not have any extra time to stay and play in Yonghui City. This was a big regret in the girl's heart.
Just now, the little girl had heard about some fun things in Yonghui City from Huanshu and Shen Chenyu's casual chat, and her heart was already full of longing and excitement.
Although tomorrow will face even more severe trials, Yao Ji, who has always adhered to the principle of living for today and not letting tomorrow's worries disturb today's joy, will naturally steal half a day to relax and have fun!
So, after the three people who were seeking pleasure repeatedly asked Mo Yi to go with them but were coldly rejected, they no longer forced him and simply left him. After all, everyone has their own preferences, some like to be quiet and some like to move, and these can't be forced.
Sitting cross-legged in the bamboo house which had finally found peace and quiet, Mo Yi let out a long sigh, as if the world had finally become quiet, and silently began to regulate his breathing and doze off.
Suddenly, he sensed a slight movement outside the tightly closed window in front of his left. Although the other party's movements were very gentle and the sound was almost inaudible, Mo Yi had excellent hearing after all, and the slightest sound from several feet away could not escape his ears, not to mention that he was only one meter away from the window at this time!
Who is it?
He suddenly opened his eyes, with a hint of coldness in his pupils, and his thin lips subconsciously tightened. The next moment, he had a short blade in his hand, and jumped into the shadow of the corner by the window, waiting for the other party to make the next move so that he could suddenly strike and win!
But what he didn't expect was that the person outside the window had no intention of coming in.
What was even more puzzling to him was that after seeming to be silent for a while , he heard a burst of light footsteps, which were gradually fading away.
What does this mean?
Could it be that this person was deliberately trying to lure me out?
Mo Yi hesitated for a moment, then he gently opened the window with the cold iron short blade in his hand and flashed away.
He was extremely cautious and kept a certain distance from the sound of footsteps. The man seemed to sense that Mo Yi was following him.
Suddenly, the opponent flew into the bamboo forest of the second level trial as fast as an arrow, and Mo Yi didn't even have time to see the opponent's figure clearly.
Who is this person? Why did he go to such great lengths to lead me into the bamboo forest? And is the bamboo forest still as full of mysteries as it was that day?
Mo Yi paused slightly, and was struggling over whether to continue chasing into the bamboo forest. Suddenly, he remembered the other party's determination when he flashed into the bamboo forest before. There was no pause, no hesitation, as if he didn't care at all about what mystery the bamboo forest had.
An absurd thought flashed through his mind, and then he understood the other party's identity, and he flashed into the bamboo forest without hesitation...
While Mo Yi was playing the chasing game with the mysterious man in the bamboo forest, over there in Yonghui City, the trio of people who were having fun were in high spirits and singing all the way.
As mentioned before, Yao Ji was a lively and cheerful person by nature. She was chosen by the elders of the Shamo tribe at the age of ten and was selected into the Shamo Temple as the reincarnation of the Shamo god Jianyi, that is, one of the candidates for the next chief wizard of the Shamo tribe. After being intensively trained with three other candidates, her temperament was suppressed.
Not to mention the strict and stern senior teachers, even the other brothers and sisters, except for the eldest brother Wu Su, are all dull people by nature, or they are actually more like ordinary Shamo wizards.
They had no distractions, devoted themselves to cultivation, and waited for the glorious day in the near future. According to the rules passed down from generation to generation by the Shamo tribe, the ceremony to confirm the next chief wizard of the Shamo tribe must be held sixteen years after the death of the previous one. This is because the Shamo people believe that it will take sixteen years for their Shamo God to slowly wake up after reincarnation.
And that date is not far away, it is the seventh day of July this year.
For the people of the Shamo tribe, being able to become the chief wizard of the Shamo tribe is an unparalleled honor. Although they understand that many things are destined by heaven, since they are already candidates, they naturally have one more chance than others. Therefore, none of the brothers and sisters are willing to let go of this opportunity easily, and they demand perfection from themselves, practicing day and night, secluding themselves, and living a secluded life.
Only Yao Ji and Wu Su are two exceptions.
Yao Ji was not interested in this. She was a casual person and did not care much about fame and wealth. She just wanted to be happy. The reason why she stayed in the Shamo Temple was because she had some talent in witchcraft and was full of interest.
In this regard, Yao Ji's talent is amazing. Among all the brothers and sisters, no one can match her in the ability to comprehend the art of transformation of all things. Even the only mysterious art that she is not good at is above the standard. This is something that the senior teachers are amazed at!
Although she is not a hardworking person, she is gifted with extraordinary talents. Such a Yao Ji makes the teachers and uncles love and hate her.
It’s a pity that Yao Ji has no interest in being the chief wizard.
Although Wu Su was the leader of the brothers and sisters, he was not a reincarnated spirit boy, so he was a few years older than the other brothers and sisters who were born on the same day, month and year.
He was excluded from the list of candidates from the beginning. Or, in other words, he was the one who was truly entrusted with the important task.
Because he was the successor chosen by the elders, the purpose of training him was not to be the chief wizard but to be the grand elder, so naturally he did not approve of the secret rivalry between fellow brothers and sisters.
In addition, his personality is actually not fussy and he has quite a few free ideas, so he and Yao Ji have similar interests and they hit it off right away.
Therefore, sneaking out of the Shamo Temple from time to time with the senior brother Wu Su to play outside, or being taken by the senior brother to travel around in the name of cultivation, became Yao Ji's greatest pleasure in Shamo City.
Before this, Yao Ji always thought that her senior brother was a knowledgeable and omniscient person, but she didn't expect that the world is so big that there are always people better than you.
The eldest son of the Huan family and the eldest daughter of the Shen family in Wucheng were truly well-informed people. But listening to their eloquent words, their four lips opened and closed, they actually told a lot of interesting stories in the world.
No matter what new things he saw, he would comment on them and tell many interesting stories and legends, which made Yao Ji sometimes dumbfounded, sometimes suddenly enlightened, and sometimes burst into laughter.
Every detail of Yonghui City, even its dilapidated parts, seemed to have a unique charm under the eloquent words of those two people.
Therefore, when others saw the trio, which was already a strange sight to behold, squatting at the base of a wall in Yonghui City, looking at the pile of broken walls that did not look very old, and starting to speculate and talk nonsense with great interest about the stories behind them, someone finally couldn't stand it anymore.
"Girl! Please leave here quickly!" A hoarse and angry voice floated from above, interrupting the three people who were chatting happily.
Hearing the word "girl", the two people who had their backs to the visitor, physiologically speaking, were magnetic animals, and subconsciously raised their heads at the same time.
This raised his head and it was a big deal. The young man in plain clothes who was furious just now actually cried out in shock! "Ghost!" He was so scared that he took several steps back. It must have taken all his courage to suppress his urge to run away.
In fact, it was no wonder that the young man in plain clothes would react like that. He had just come here with some paper money and plain wine to pay tribute, but he saw three sneaky figures from afar, squatting and pointing at the place that held sad memories for him.
I thought to myself, where did these bored people come from? They must have heard some rumors here and came here to watch the fun and seek excitement. I was so angry that I accused them loudly and was about to scold them, but I didn't expect that I would be scared first.
By that face that was both male and female, both god and ghost, both human and demon...
Well, actually, what scared him was just the slightly surprised face of our eldest lady of the Shen family.
The three people who were originally just looking for fun out of curiosity did not expect that their spur of the moment trip would reveal an extraordinary romance.
