Chapter 82
Most of the month passed.

The apricot blossoms in the yard have almost fallen, and the branches have begun to sprout new shoots.Aji finally stopped eating like crazy and grew taller, and finally he could control his magic tricks.

But Ah Ji never expected that when she used the technique of transformation to present a perfect man standing in front of Lin Haoqing, the first thing Lin Haoqing said would be: "Alright, it's time to leave."

So Siyu turned around without saying a word and packed up his things, Dang even gave A Ji a burden, and said: "A Ji, you should go south."

A Ji took the package in Siyu's hand, a little dazed, she looked at the package and then looked up at Lin Haoqing and Siyu, then changed back to her own appearance, before she could speak, she saw Lin Haoqing frowned, she understood, Immediately transformed back into a boy, she scratched her head, a little puzzled:

"Master, won't you come with me?"

"I still have unfinished business. From now on, I won't be with you anymore." Lin Haoqing looked at A Ji's dazed face and said, "Remember what I told you, neither the northern border nor the capital can go, no Show people your true face, and don't use the power of a demon master."

Aji nodded: "I remember everything, but...Master...why didn't you let me go with you?"

"Aji, good boy." Siyu gently patted Aji's head, "We're not going to abandon you, it's just that you can't go where we are going."

A Ji was puzzled: "I can't go? Then are you going to the north? Or the capital?"

Without waiting for Siyu to answer her, Lin Haoqing said: "You don't need to know, pack your luggage and go south."

"I..." A Ji hugged the package and became even more at a loss, "But where should I go... what should I do..."

Lin Haoqing stared at her and remained silent for a long time. Lin Haoqing stepped forward, grabbed Ji Yunhe's shoulder, and pushed her over. At the gate in front of her, Lin Haoqing was behind her, pushing her forward until she reached the door. Then, Involuntarily, the hand on her back exerted force, and with a soft sound, she was pushed out, and at the moment of pushing her out, Ah Ji heard Lin Haoqing whispering in her ear:

"You'll always find a place to go and something to do."

There was no ups and downs in her voice, she was still as serious as usual, but A Ji suddenly felt a bit of tenderness.

When she turned her head anxiously, wanting to take another look at Lin Haoqing, there was a "bang" behind her, and the courtyard door was closed.

The tip of A Ji's nose touched the dirty courtyard door, and his nose was dusted.

A Ji stood blankly at the door for a long time with her bundle in her arms, she was still a little uneasy, thinking over and over again, could it be that she made a mistake recently and made Lin Haoqing unhappy?

She squatted at the door for a long time, but half a day later, she knocked on the door again, and there was no answer from the room.With a cheeky face, she pushed the door and barged in...

In the courtyard, it was clear and cold, the fallen apricot blossoms on the ground were not swept away, and the courtyard was desolate.

But in half a day, the courtyard was empty.

She stayed in the courtyard for a while, then turned around and set off, walked out of the small courtyard, and walked through the apricot grove. Passed through her hair, turned to the sky, and then became invisible. She turned her head and saw that there was no apricot blossom forest behind her. Under the sun, this place was just an ordinary land of wild grass.

All of a sudden, Ah Ji's heart was empty, and it seemed as if a few inches of weeds had grown in her heart. She suddenly felt like a duckweed without roots, walking out of the void without any parents, no past, and a whole body. In this world, she inexplicably came, grew inexplicably, and returned to the loneliness of a person inexplicably...

With no one to rely on, she gritted her teeth and had no choice but to embark on the road to the south alone.

I hope this road goes south, and I can see more flowers.

……

The south has warmed up, but the north is still bitterly cold.

And in the Demon Control Platform, the room of the Lord of the North is even colder than the icy world outside.

Frost condensed on his body, spreading from his body to the bed, to the ground and walls in the hall, all covered with frosty air.

There was a knock on the door outside.

The silver-haired merman lying on the bed moved his eyelids, opened his eyes suddenly, and stared at the smallpox with a pair of blue pupils in a daze for a while, until the knock on the door came again, he calmed down and covered his eyes. Head down, sit up.

"Come in." He opened his mouth, and the servant outside pushed open the door. For a moment, the cold air gushed out from the room. On the ground, he fell down in embarrassment.He staggered to and fro on the ground, struggled for a long time as if performing acrobatics, and finally stabilized his body, knelt on the ground, not daring to move.

The attendant made a fool of himself, quietly glanced at Chang Yi, and dared not say a word.

Since the Lord of the Northern Territory left the small courtyard in the middle of the lake, his body became colder and his temper became more unpredictable.In the past, Kong Ming and Luo Jinsang were still there, and when they saw the attendants make a fool of themselves, they would probably have laughed, so they would not have been so frightened, but now...

Chang Yi glanced at the kneeling attendant without saying a word: "What's the matter?"

"Returning to the Lord, Master Kong Ming has sent news from the south that many people have been affected by the frost poison, and he may have to delay his return to the northern border."

"Hmm." Chang Yi replied.

In order not to let himself fall again, the attendant knelt down on the ground and stepped back.Chang Yi said suddenly, "You don't have to come tomorrow."

The attendant was startled, and tremblingly said yes, and hurriedly backed out.

He walked a long distance and went out several doors before whispering to his acquainted attendant: "It is also said that the northern border is better than the capital. I think we have come to the wrong enemy. This lord is no better than Princess Shunde." Easy to serve, but also an uncertain master.”

"It shouldn't be... I heard that the Lord of the Northern Territory was not like this before..."

"It became like this when I left the small courtyard in the middle of the lake. I don't know what kind of evil spell. You see, when you wake up every day, the inside of the temple is icy and snowy. Why don't you let me stand outside and blow the cold wind. Tomorrow Don't let me serve him, just right, this life is saved."

"Hey……"

They think that their complaints are in places that no one knows, but they don't know that these words have passed into Changyi's ears word by word.

Listening to these words, Chang Yi didn't feel anything in his heart. He felt that what they said was right.

His temper became more and more uncontrollable. When he looked at this world, it was like looking at a piece of wild grass, boring and lonely. Looking at those faces, it was like looking at livestock, without being touched at all.

He knew that he was becoming less and less interested in this world, just because all his obsession and stubbornness had been used on one person, and she took them away...

Chang Yi looked at his hands, his fingertips were pale, every breath he took out rolled up white mist in the cold air.

After Ji Yunhe was frozen, his body began to slowly become like this.Chang Yi knew that it was the imprint he left on Ji Yunhe that caused him to suffer.The bite he took on Ji Yunhe's ear was a promise the shark made to his partner, which would establish an invisible connection between the two of them. When she was alive, this seal would allow him to perceive where she was.

And when she died...

Mermaids live in the sea all their lives, so when a merman dies, it becomes like a monster on land.The monsters on the land died and became invisible, dissipating in the air like powder, the more pure the power, the more invisible, or turning into a pile of soil, or dissipating directly in the air.

The same is true for the sharks in the sea.Their strength comes from the sea, so when they die, all the strength in their body is returned to the sea, and they will turn into sea foam and dissipate invisibly.

Although Ji Yunhe is not a mermaid, she was marked as a mermaid by him.As long as Chang Yi puts Ji Yunhe's body into the sea, the sea water will take away the mermaid mark on her body, and maybe turn her into foam.And as long as the imprint disappeared, Changyi would no longer have to suffer from the frost.

But he didn't want to.

He sealed Ji Yunhe's body with layers of ice and sank her at the bottom of the lake, but he didn't want to cut off the last connection between them.

Ji Yunhe can leave, let go, and be free.

He can't.

He was paranoid about grasping at this meaningless connection, irrational, unwise, and even a bit disregarded.only because……

The coldness around him made Chang Yi sleep in the dead of night, as if he could lie in the same frozen lake as her, as if he could still hear her whispering in his ear: "Chang Yi...Chang Yi..."

It's just this familiar feeling that he imagined, which is enough to support him to fall asleep in the biting cold that is getting colder every night.

Chang Yi got off the bed, stepped on the cold ground, without any expression on his face, walked forward step by step, walked out of the house, the sun was pouring down on him, but he never felt the slightest warmth.

In his eyes, this tiny world, mountains, rivers, lakes and seas are all meaningless.Changyi suddenly remembered that he had heard a long time ago that the great national teacher in the national teacher's mansion was going to hold a funeral for the world...

Funeral for the world...

It's probably how he feels too...

Because he can no longer feel the beauty and fun of this world, the overturning of the world and the upside-down of the world are no longer related to him.

"My lord." Another attendant came forward and turned to look at him with Changyi. In his eyes, his face was not much different from that of the previous attendant. The attendant said, "A while ago The demon master Lu Jinyan, who descended to the northern border, clashed with the snake demon in the northern border. The two fought, which triggered a battle between the demon master and the monster. Now the battle has subsided, but both sides are still dissatisfied. Your lord, Yu The demon master and many monsters are now in my northern border. There were few people before, and everyone was united, but now the demon masters who descended from the four lands of demon control..."

"Kill it."

Long meaning lightly spit out three words.

The visitor was startled: "Respect... Your Lord?"

"Troubleshooters, punish." After Chang Yi said these words, he turned around and left. Tuliu's attendant stared blankly at Chang Yi's back with a look of astonishment.

……

A Ji took her own package, transformed into a man with the technique of transformation, and went all the way south.At first, she thought that she would be at a loss or not adapt for a while, but unexpectedly, her adaptability was always beyond her imagination.

Walking through the mountains and rivers, she found that she unexpectedly likes this kind of life, she does not seek gain and is not afraid of loss, between the world, she is the only one who is free and free.

It was only after leaving the apricot forest that Ah Ji discovered her real self. It turns out that she likes the blue sky, the bright sun, the warm breeze, catching fish in the stream, and lying on the grass after eating. all day.

The disappointment and unhappiness left by Lin Haoqing in the past few days are also relieved. She thinks what Lin Haoqing said to her at the end was right. She will find the place she wants to go and know what she should do...

It was a sunny day, and Ah Ji was walking by the stream, thinking about what kind of fish to catch for grilling, when he suddenly heard a woman's cry coming from ahead.

A Ji was taken aback, and hurried forward.

By the stream ahead, a mother was crying heartbreakingly while holding her black-and-blue child.

"What's wrong?" Aki asked quickly.The child's mother didn't answer her, A Ji looked down, and saw that the child's whole body was cold, and the skin all over his body was an unnatural black-blue color. A Ji frowned, held the child's wrist, and found that there were double pulses hidden in the child's body.

It turned out to be a child with the power of two veins...

"He's been poisoned...he's been poisoned..." the mother cried, "This water is full of poison!"

A Ji turned her head and glanced at the stream, she drank from the stream every day, and she had never done this before.She held the child's pulse, and seeing that the breath was getting weaker and weaker, she frowned and said, she should help him protect his heart, but she must not use the power of the child's two pulses to pour into his body with demon power. She said that ordinary people have only one strength, and there is no one else like her in this world, so she has to hide herself well and not use her power as a demon master...

but……

Do you want to watch the child die?
Suddenly, the whole body of the child twitched slightly, and the small body looked even more pitiful in the arms of the helpless mother.A Ji didn't hesitate any longer, held his palm, and poured his own strength into the child's body.

After a while, the child's convulsions stopped slightly, and his breath gradually calmed down. Although the bruises all over his body did not subside, he slowly opened his eyes.

"Open your eyes? Open your eyes!" The mother smiled through tears, looked at the child, and kept touching, "It's all right, the child is all right, aunt is here, aunt is here."

A Ji took two steps back, looking at the mother who was as happy as a child, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

At night, Aji followed the mother and son to the small ruined temple where they lived temporarily.

The mother calls herself Liang Li, and the child is called Liang Xiaoan.They escaped from their hometown: "Xiao'an's father is... gone." Liang and Li looked at the sleeping child, and said while wiping away tears, "Xiao'an was born, the doctor said he had dual veins , my father and I fled our hometown overnight with Xiaoan, in order to prevent him from being caught in the Quartet Demon Controlling Land..."

The flame flickered, illuminating Liang Li's slightly tired face, Aji looked at her, maybe the light of the bonfire was beating too fast, in a trance, a picture flashed in Aji's mind, it was also a couple. The scene of parents fleeing in a hurry with their children...

"Xiao'an's father was caught by officers and soldiers in the early years and killed. Then I took Xiao'an to hide in the mountains, hiding in XZ, hoping that the great master died and the court fell, so we didn't have to hide. The northern border raised troops, but I never thought, I never thought that the princess in the capital would throw poison into the river. I told the children not to drink the water in the river, and received dew every day, and some rainwater when it rained Give him a drink, but that's not enough, the child is thirsty, he can't take it anymore, and while I wasn't paying attention, he lay down in the stream and drank water..."

Lishi Liang wiped her tears: "I would rather he drink my blood than become like this for drinking a sip of water..."

A Ji was startled when he heard this, and even more intuitively disgusted the princess in this matter: "Then why is the princess so mad?"

Li Shi Liang shook her head: "No matter what the princess does, we will have to admit that it is unlucky. I want to take the child to the north, not for any reason, but there is a world of ice and snow, at least those who drink are clean."

Hearing this, Ah Ji was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Sister, don't be sad, I will accompany you to pick up the dew tomorrow morning."

Liang Lishi looked at her: "Thank you, young master, today is also thanks to you..."

"No, Sister, you promise me that you will leave here tomorrow, and you will forget about me afterwards. Don't remember this matter."

Liang Li nodded: "I know, everyone has their own difficulties, the young master saved my child, I will definitely not make trouble for the young master. But I don't know if the young master has to avoid something in this deep mountain and old forest, why don't we talk to our mother?" Want to take a companion and go to the north together?"

A Ji waved his hand: "No, I have to do other things."

The next day, Ah Ji and Liang's mother and son parted ways and went up the stream.She promised Lin Haoqing that if she didn't go to the northern border or the capital, then she wouldn't go, and... Ah Ji thought, the great masters and princesses in the capital city and the lord of the northern border are too tall, and she can't even touch them. If she can't touch it, she might as well do something within her ability.

For example, to find the source of this stream, at least, find a way to make the Shuangmai child who drank this stream no longer poisoned.

……

Aji walked along this stream for two days, twisting and turning, all the way west, and entered a big mountain.When she found the mountain, it was late at night, and Ah Ji originally planned to find a place to sleep for a while, and when it dawned tomorrow, he would check where the source of the stream was.

But this night, shortly after she fell asleep, she heard the sound of searching and yelling from behind the mountain. She fell asleep on the tree, sat up and looked up into the distance, and saw many people raising their hands. With a torch, I searched in the mountains and forests.

Aji felt strange, turned over and jumped down from the tree.As soon as she landed on her side, she suddenly heard an exclamation from the grass next to her. She looked to the side, and under the moonlight, a young man dressed in white fell down in the grass with a face full of embarrassment.

She blinked and looked at the boy, but before she could say a word, the boy suddenly jumped up and covered her mouth: "Shh!" The boy panicked, "Shut up!"

A Ji was not frightened or frightened, she still blinked at him, his hand covered her mouth tightly, during the contact, she felt the double veins in his body... the demon master in white clothes... The material of this white dress is so good...

Ah Ji thought about some books that Lin Haoqing let him read, and he muttered in his heart.

And here, the boy confirmed that she didn't intend to scream, and then let go of his hand tremblingly: "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

"Are you a disciple of the National Teacher's Mansion?" A Ji asked, and with just one sentence, he put the young man on alert again. He backed away two steps, leaned his back against the tree, and stared at A Ji with alertness and fear.

"You... who are you? Are you here to catch me?"

A Ji didn't answer him, but moved the tip of her nose, and she smelled blood.She looked in the blink of an eye and saw that the sleeve of the boy's left arm was torn open, and there was a long wound on his arm, which was still dripping with blood.

"I'm not, but why did those people arrest you?" A Ji looked at him, "Did you poison the source of this stream?"

The young man shook his head again and again: "It's not me! I... no... can be considered..." The young man leaned against the tree, as if he had no strength to support his body anymore, he sat down weakly, his eyes lost sight, "I... And my senior brother, I was ordered to come here. On the way I came, I saw a child who had been poisoned...he was covered in bruises...I...I didn't want to perform the task, but senior brother...senior brother still threw the frost into the stream , Later, people from the northern border came... Senior brother was killed by them, I fled here..."

He spoke incoherently, as if he had been frightened enough for the day.

He scratched his hair: "I don't know what to do, why...why did this happen..." The young man broke down emotionally, "I don't want to hurt anyone, and I don't want to die..."

This young man was only fifteen or sixty-seven years old. A Ji looked at him, examined him, and believed him.She made up her mind, knelt down, and said to the young man, "I won't arrest you, you go, the people behind are coming, I'll help you get over it."

The young man looked up at her, his eyes were bloodshot, and his pale and tired face was full of disbelief: "I... I am a disciple of the National Teacher's Mansion... Now people outside want to kill us... You, you have to help me?"

"Let's go, don't chat with me, they are coming soon."

Hearing this, the young man seemed to have come to his senses. He looked at A Ji, rubbed against the tree, and stood up with support, "I...my name is Ji Ning, and my master is Ji Chengyu from the National Teacher's House..."

Ji Chengyu...

A Ji frowned, and Shu Er felt that the name was inexplicably familiar.

The young man didn't notice her emotion, and continued, "You...what's your name, if in the future..."

"Do you still want to have a future?"

A sneer came from behind him, and the young man looked behind A Ji, his face turned pale.

Aji turned his head slightly when he heard the words, and saw a strong man standing behind him, that man was holding a giant ax in both hands, staring at Aji and Ji Ning: "The lackeys of the National Teacher's Mansion, don't even think about running away!"

The boy's feet went limp, and he fell to the ground again.At this moment, Ah Ji stood up and stood in front of Ji Ning.

Under the moonlight, there was a gleam of lacquer in her eyes: "He was just forced to come here, why should we kill him all?"

"Hmph, where is the brat? Don't bother the uncle with his work!" He said, kicking his feet, holding a giant axe, and rushing straight towards Aji. Every time the strong man took a step, the ground seemed to tremble. Shouting loudly, he rushed to A Ji, raised the big ax in his hand, and slashed down fiercely.

The brilliance in A Ji's eyes flickered, her brows were fixed, and she raised her hand. With a sound of "bang", she held the strong man's wrist with one hand, and the palm of her hand touched the strong man's wrist, and the air wave was more than ten feet, shaking the surrounding trees.

A Ji grabbed his wrist, the expression on the strong man's face gradually changed from surprise, wrestling, and finally pain.

A Ji's hand seemed to push lightly, and the menacing strong man took three steps back, his right hand suddenly couldn't hold the giant ax in his hand, and his hand dropped, and the giant ax fell to the ground.

The strong man looked up at A Ji unwillingly, and Ji Ning behind A Ji was also shocked.

Only A Ji still had a calm face, and said: "I told you that he was forced. Before killing someone, can you reason?
