Cultivation starts with time management

Not impressed.

If you use a high-end computer to scan the facial structures of Qiu Changtian and Chen Guanshui at the same time, you will definitely find that they look exactly the same.

However, the human brain area responsible for identifying the appearance of memory does not rely on comparing data such as the size of the nose and the distance between the eyes. form a general impression.

Kunlun mirror's mirror flower water moon illusion technique directly disturbs this final impression.

Therefore, although he saw Chen Guanshui's true face, Xu Yinglian couldn't associate it with Qiu Changtian in his memory.

Seeing that Xu Yinglian was fine, Chen Guanshui also secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but continued to point in the direction of Baicheng, deliberately lowered his voice and said in a hoarse voice:

"White City is right there."

Xu Yinglian was extremely disappointed. After all, this intuition pointed to an ordinary herdsman, who had nothing to do with her senior brother Qiu Changtian.

But she really didn't have any other clues, so she could only ask without giving up:

"What happened to your voice?"

"I didn't sleep well last night, and I'm a little dumb." Chen Guanshui said perfunctorily.

"Oh." Xu Yinglian took out a elixir bottle, "I have some elixir here, you can take it and it will be fine."

"Don't dare to worry about it." Chen Guanshui didn't dare to eat it, he just pretended to be flattered, and declined, "This is a minor illness, it will be cured after a few days."

"Knowing that I'm a Shangxian, you're not surprised?" Xu Yinglian asked with a frown.

Another doubtful point was found: when an ordinary mortal encounters a fairy gifting a pill, shouldn't he immediately accept it in ecstasy, kneel down three times and kowtow nine times to show his sincerity?

How can you still meet those who refuse to accept?

"Hahaha." Chen Guanshui laughed casually, "In the vast grassland, thousands of miles of wind and sand, the Shangxian is actually dressed in white, without any dust. If he is not a Shangxian, could it be that he is still an ordinary person who washes clothes every day?"

"You have good eyesight." Xu Yinglian said lightly.

Although what the other party said was well-founded and there was no way to refute it, this feeling of being aggrieved was really too déjà vu.

Considering that there are many disguise illusions that change appearance these days, Xu Yinglian's original feeling of depression and discouragement also dissipated. She gave Chen Guanshui a meaningful look, and then drifted away.

Just as Chen Guanshui breathed a sigh of relief, he saw that Xu Yinglian did not leave in a hurry, but came to the side of the sheep and greeted the sheep-herding orphans in dirty robes.

The children are also obviously good-looking creatures, and they are very fond of this elder sister who looks very beautiful even though she is wearing a veil, and all of them stare wide-eyed and want to talk to her.

"Tell me." Xu Yinglian took out another pill bottle, "Tell me about that brother, and I'll give you candy."

Where do you need any sugar? The children are already scrambling to say:

"Lazy!"

"Sleep all day!"

"Always off work!"

"Even Rhubarb is faster than him!"

Rhubarb is one of the shepherd dogs responsible for driving the flock.

Hearing so many familiar adjectives, Xu Yinglian's sense of déjà vu has become stronger and stronger.

Of course, none of these constitute conclusive evidence, because there are lazy people everywhere in the world, and it is impossible to see one and say that it has something to do with Qiu Changtian.

But women don't need any evidence. Xu Yinglian relied on her intuition... No, it should be said that it was her ingenuity to judge that this herdsman must have something to do with Qiu Changtian.

She returned to Chen Guanshui lightly, and said:

"I'm here for the first time, and I'm going to Baicheng, and I need a guide."

"I've never been to Baicheng." Chen Guanshui said hastily.

"It's okay, a local is always better than an outsider like me." Xu Yinglian naturally refused to let him go.

"I'm also from another place." Chen Guanshui said quickly.

"Oh?" Xu Yinglian immediately asked, "Where do you come from?"

"Yangzhou." Chen Guanshui knew that he must not hesitate at this time, otherwise the probability of being suspected of lying would increase rapidly, so he said decisively, "I am from Guangling County, Yangzhou."

"Yangzhou?" Xu Yinglian thought for a moment, then said, "I won't let you lead the way for nothing."

She took out a pill bottle and said:

"The elixirs here... take one and you can prolong your life for one year, up to ten. How about your reward?"

According to the logic of ordinary people, seeing a elixir that can prolong life, let alone being grateful, even kneeling and licking the other person immediately is not an exaggeration.

However, Chen Guanshui neither wants to be grateful to Dade, nor wants to kneel and lick Xu Yinglian.

On the one hand, he really didn't need any life-extending pills, and on the other hand, after pretending for so many years, Chen Guanshui really didn't want to continue acting exaggeratedly.

The reason why I am willing to hang out in a nomadic tent is because there is no need to pretend here, and I can be myself freely-no one can force me to come, and neither can Xu Yinglian!

"I don't need it, thank you Shangxian." Chen Guanshui said with a sigh, "I have always thought that living so long is actually meaningless... Shangxian, you see, we nomads depend on the sky for food, and every winter is like passing through the gate of hell. It's still ninety, and we may not see it in the spring of next year, so what's the point of prolonging life?"

Xu Yinglian thought for a moment, then said again:

"If you want to practice Taoism, I can teach you exercises. As long as you can learn spells, it shouldn't be difficult to resist the severe cold."

"Does the god think I'm a material for Taoism?" Chen Guanshui laughed dumbfounded.

"No." Xu Yinglian said bluntly, "But I think you seem like a liar...the kind of person who can tell lies as naturally as eating and drinking."

As soon as Chen Guanshui's heart moved, he knew that Junior Sister Xu had begun to doubt him.

No matter how much she refuses, Xu Yinglian will grasp at straws and will never let herself go easily.

It's better to go with her first, find an opportunity to escape on the way, and never stay here any longer.

With this in mind, Chen Guanshui said straightforwardly:

"Okay, but put away the pill bottle, I really don't need it."

Seeing him let go so quickly, Xu Yinglian was also a little surprised.But she soon stopped worrying about it, and just said:

"Arrange a mount and take me to Baicheng."

"No mounts." Chen Guanshui shook his head, "These herds are not mine, I can't take their horses."

"No wonder." Xu Yinglian said tentatively, "I don't think these children like you very much."

"I said I'm a foreigner, and it's normal for children not to like outsiders." Chen Guanshui said calmly, "The owner of the herd can chat with me quite well, and let me take care of them for a while."

"Then it doesn't matter that you are leaving with me now?" Xu Yinglian asked in surprise.

"It's okay, I'll be back after leading the way for Shangxian." Chen Guanshui replied.

There was no flaw in this answer, so Xu Yinglian's mind sank a bit, thinking that although this person has an open-minded temperament, he is not at all arrogant, and he is really far from his senior brother.

I can't really be wrong...

She quickly suppressed the wild thoughts in her mind, and continued to say tentatively:

"The kids say you're lazy."

"It's not my mount, why should I work hard?" Chen Guanshui asked her back.

Xu Yinglian fell silent.

Although she has a clever mind, when it comes to nonsense, her paragraphs are still far behind Chen Guanshui, so she soon became speechless, and asked again after a long while:

"Without a mount, how do we go over there, we can't walk over there."

If Chen Guanshui asked back, "You don't know how to control the sword", then he would be missing something.Even though fencing skills are well known among monks, how could mortals come into contact with this concept?

Of course Chen Guanshui was not fooled, he tilted his head and said:

"Go to the Baishui River over there, and find a passing fishing boat for a ride... Did Shangxian bring silver taels with him?"

"Bring it." Of course Xu Yinglian didn't bring mortal currency with her, but she still knew the basic tricks.

Chen Guanshui called the eldest of the children, told him that he would go out for a few days, and then took Xu Yinglian to the river.

The Baishui River is not very wide, but the current is relatively fast. It took a long time for a lone boat to pass by. There were several bundles of firewood on it, and the waterline was pressed extremely deep.

The boatman originally didn't intend to let the two of them board the boat, but after seeing the money that Xu Yinglian conjured up, he decisively threw some firewood to spare the weight for the two of them to carry.

As a monk, Xu Yinglian landed steadily on the fishing boat with just a light jump.

Chen Guanshui was relatively clumsy, and waited for the boat to approach the shore before jumping over to grab the side of the boat with all his strength—and almost fell into the water by miscalculating the distance.

Xu Yinglian watched with cold eyes, thinking that this person is at the level of a mortal body no matter his skill or physique.

But these can't be counted, because the senior brother is also a person who is good at disguising... Thinking of this, her heart began to ache again.

The lone boat went down the river, and the two sides were full of yellow and brown. Occasionally, many herds could be seen.

Xu Yinglian stood on the prow of the boat with his hands behind his back, looking at the scenery on both sides of the river bank, groaning silently.

Chen Guanshui talked to the boatman for a few words, and somehow he borrowed the boatman's fishing rod and started fishing on the river.

"Fishing in running water?" Xu Yinglian asked in amazement, "This boat moves with the water, and the bait also moves with it. How can it be possible to catch a big fish?"

"It doesn't matter." Chen Guanshui didn't take it seriously, "It's all for those who wish to take the bait."

The wisher took the bait... Xu Yinglian muttered a few words silently, thinking that he really had the wisher take the bait.

He was unwilling to give up all the clues related to his senior brother, so even if it was a slight illusion, he chased after the bait like a big fish eagerly.

Thinking of this, her mood quickly became gloomy, and she lost the interest in talking for a while.

The boat drifted for about half a day and finally arrived at Baicheng.

The city wall is old and built along the water. Inside the wall is smoke, and there are a large number of markets outside the wall. Countless Han people, Qiang people, herdsmen, and traveling merchants talk loudly with each other, and the surrounding area is extremely noisy and noisy.

Xu Yinglian finally calmed down, and told Chen Guanshui:

"Come with me to Baicheng, I need to do something."

Chapter 18 It must be him!

Chen Guanshui had a terrible headache.

Now it seems that although Xu Yinglian didn't see anything unusual, he had obviously noticed some kind of connection between himself and Qiu Changtian, so he held onto him tightly.

Unless I insist on playing the role of a down and out refugee, it is possible to deal with her until she loses patience, but I don't want to act anymore, why should I continue like this?

Let's find a chance to escape.

Chen Guanshui's side had a headache, while Xu Yinglian's side was also very distressed.

Does she have anything to do in Baicheng?Just looking for a reason to continue testing Chen Guanshui.

Now for a while, I don't know what to do. After entering the city, my eyes just turn slowly, looking at the surrounding things absent-mindedly.

"I'm going to do some shopping." Xu Yinglian said suddenly.

"Shangxian can do it himself." Chen Guanshui said lazily.

"Follow me." Xu Yinglian frowned and ordered.

She didn't mention why she followed her there... Chen Guanshui followed silently, and followed Xu Yinglian into a shop.

As soon as he entered, Chen Guanshui immediately realized that the shop here must be opened by a cultivator.

The anti-theft formation on the ground at the door is almost undisguised.

On the shelves, there were all kinds of commodities. Chen Guanshui looked at them casually, and they were almost all low-grade pills or magic weapons.

Although it is impossible for everyone to put the best things on the outside and display them at will, judging from the things on the outside, it is estimated that there is nothing good inside - the owner of this shop is at the most foundation-building stage, and it is impossible to be higher. up.

Xu Yinglian lingered between the shelves, and from time to time, he would stop in front of many magical artifacts, and hold his chin to study the magic artifact Guanghua.

Chen Guanshui followed obediently, but he was full of slander in his heart:

What's so good about that thing?It's like a college student in the mathematics department reading a kindergarten textbook to understand numbers... Don't be ashamed to lose it!

But he also vaguely guessed Xu Yinglian's purpose for doing this: it was nothing more than to test whether he would react.

As long as I show a little "that's it" expression, it will definitely become a real flaw in her eyes.

It's so annoying, I really want to run away...

Chen Guanshui thought about it carefully, and found that if he ran forcibly at this time, he was not completely sure that he would be able to escape successfully.

First of all, if he simply competes in Yujianshu, he should be faster than Xu Yinglian.

The premise is that Xu Yinglian has no other means, especially her supernatural power with the blood of the phoenix, there may be some secret method of speeding up... In comparison, her own supernatural powers of escape are too few.
