Song Jiang retreated with the monstrous ghost energy, and the thick ink-like dark clouds dispersed instantly, leaving only a mess all over the river.
Broken driftwood and blackened paper ash swirled in the whirlpool, and the turbulent river gradually calmed down.
Bai Suzhen With a simple move, the remaining shrimps, soldiers and crabs will turn into streaks of light and disappear into his sleeves.
She stared at the remaining souls on the river surface that had not yet dispersed. She pinched the magic formula with her fingertips, and wisps of gray mist gathered and compressed in her palm, finally condensing into four ancient bronze coins.
[Corpse Dog Money], [Sparrow Yin Money], [Swallow Thief Money], [Stinking Lung Money].
"Mr. Chen has just shown off his power, but he forgot to collect these remnant souls." She handed out the ancient coin, "Although this thing is not rare, it is also quite magical in terms of practice. I think it will be useful to you."
Chen Jin is collecting these Three Souls and Seven Spirits Money. When he saw this, he did not refuse and took them quickly.
Including the previous two, there are only four left now.
He was overjoyed and thanked Bai Suzhen: "Thank you so much, Miss Bai! This Three Souls and Seven Spirits Money is very important to me. It's all thanks to you."
Suddenly he remembered the Buddha's light in the sky that had just forced Song Jiang away, and asked again, "I wonder which master came to help with that Buddha's light just now?"
"It's Senior Brother Lu Zhishen."
Wu Song on the side spoke, looking in the direction of Six Harmonies Temple, with a bit of sadness in his tone,
"After Severing Earth from Heaven, the road to reincarnation was cut off, and it was difficult to reach the bliss of the West. After his death, his soul remained in the relics, and he did not care about worldly affairs for many years."
The voice gradually became lower and turned into a sigh, "I was afraid that I would meet an old friend today, so I made an exception and took action."
Chen Jin and Bai Suzhen looked at each other and bowed in the direction of Six Harmonies Temple.
That ray of Buddha's light arrived just in time. If it hadn't blocked Song Jiang's pressure, today's battle would probably have had more twists and turns.
The eaves of the pagoda cut out a quiet silhouette in the dusk, as if the lingering charm of a Buddhist bell was drifting in the wind.
Wu Song glanced at the two of them. "That's enough for now, I'll go back to Six Harmonies Temple first. This battle has consumed you a lot, and you need to rest for a few days before going back to the temple to practice boxing."
After that, he said no more, turned around and walked towards Six Harmonies Temple on the top of the waves, and disappeared in the thickening mist of Qiantang in a blink of an eye.
Xiao Qing is still flopping in the waves.
There were only two people left on the shore, Chen Jin and Bai Suzhen.
The river wind suddenly became gentle, carrying the lingering warmth of the fire lotus, blowing past the two people standing looking at each other, rolling up the hems of their clothes, creating faint ripples.
The tacit understanding of fighting side by side just now still lingers in my heart. The moment when the sword light and the fire light intertwined, the trust that needs no words made Chen Jin's good impression of Bai Suzhen increase even more.
He looked at Bai Suzhen, and for a moment he didn't know what to say. His eyes fell on her red cheeks, and he felt that his heartbeat was inexplicably faster.
Bai Suzhen felt a little embarrassed when he looked at her, subconsciously twirling her hair with her fingertips, and the blush on her face became more obvious.
Recalling the words "please help me practice" she blurted out before, she felt her ears burning hot and she didn't even dare to look at Chen Jin.
How are such frivolous words any different from those wild fox monsters who behave in a smoky and flirtatious manner?
Will he underestimate himself because of this?
As dusk falls, the river wind sweeps the last wisps of gunpowder smoke into the rising tide.
He could only look down at the lake at his feet and said in a voice as thin as a gnat, "Just now... I was rude. Don't be offended by what I said."
I'm reading Chapter 16 of Coke's novel. It's over. I'm immersed in it and can't extricate myself.
"Miss Bai hopes to achieve success as soon as possible. I also feel the same way. It's just..." He paused briefly and glanced at the tips of her slightly red ears. "The wedding is indeed a bit too early for people who have just met."
He saw her fingers twisting her sleeves tighten slightly, and continued to say warmly, "But Chen Jin really admires Miss Bai.
When we fought side by side just now, you and I had the same mind and a tacit understanding.
How about... let's start as friends and get along slowly?"
Bai Suzhen suddenly raised his eyes, as if there were stars falling into the pool of water, creating sparkling waves.
The corners of her lips raised unconsciously, and she kneaded her sleeves to steady her slightly trembling voice. "Okay."
When this word was uttered, a returning bird flew across the sky in the distance, and the sound of flapping wings intertwined with the sound of the river waves.
She quietly released her pinched fingertips that were turning white, and added a sentence as light as catkins, "Then... let's start as friends."
Chen Jin and Bai Suzhen walked slowly along the river bank side by side. The bluestone slabs under their feet still had wet marks from the rain, and they made a slight "rustling" sound when they stepped on them.
Leifeng Pagoda in the distance gradually turned pale gold in the dusk, and the waves on the lake flowed with the footsteps. The two seemed to have endless things to talk about, from the customs of Qiantang to interesting things in practice, from the cultivation of divine seeds to the relationship between demons and humans. The topics kept changing, but they always had a tacit understanding.
Xiao Qing followed a few steps behind the two of them, kicking pebbles on the roadside out of boredom.
She looked at the two people chatting happily in front of her and couldn't help rolling her eyes. She secretly muttered in her heart: Why do these two people have so much to say? If I had known better, I shouldn't have followed. It would be better to go back to sleep.
In this battle, she swallowed a lot of ghosts, which after refining were of great help to her practice. She just wanted to seize the time to practice, but she couldn't bear to let her sister be alone with this Chen Jin.
Although my sister's cultivation level is much higher than hers, she is not very experienced in the world, so what should I do if someone deceives her?
Although this Chen Jin looks polite, people should not be judged by their appearance. What if it happens?
While Xiao Qing was thinking wildly, the dusk was getting darker, and the last ray of light on the horizon stretched the figures of the two people in front of him very long.
Chen Jin stopped and turned to look at Bai Suzhen, with a bit of curiosity in his eyes. "Miss Bai, the power of the three flavors of real fire you used just now is really amazing. I wonder if there is any secret to practicing such a mysterious Daoist method?"
Bai Suzhen smiled slightly, raised his hand lightly, and a faint wisp of fresh air danced on his fingertips. "Samadhi True Fire is the condensed form of the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit."
She turned her head and looked at Chen Jin, with some admiration in her eyes, "But Mr. Chen has reached the state of three flowers gathering at the top, and has a deep foundation. If you can get a glimpse of the secret, it will not be difficult to master it."
"Seriously?" Chen Jin's eyes lit up, and a bit of anticipation suddenly arose in his heart.
The Three Flavors of True Fire is a first-class attack method. If he can learn it, it will be of great benefit to him in the future.
Bai Suzhen Seeing him looking like this, a faint blush appeared on his cheeks, and he said softly, "If Mr. Chen is interested, I can teach you."
Chen Jin Hearing this, his eyes suddenly glowed with joy. "If I can get Miss Bai's guidance, I really want it."
Bai Suzhen lowered his eyelashes slightly. "Then... it's settled. I'll pay a visit to the young master at midnight tomorrow."
After she finished speaking, she tilted her head slightly and gently adjusted her temples that were blown by the river wind with her bare hands. This action just covered up the flash of confusion in her eyes.
Chen Jin was startled when he heard this, and then a real smile appeared in his eyes, "Miss Bai is willing to come to my humble home, she will be so radiant."
