Riding the Pheonix Chapter 162: Under the Moon
This is a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a green robe, which seems to be the standard of a certain academy.
Because he was sitting on the wall, his height could not be seen, but his slender figure could only be vaguely distinguished.
As soon as Ming Wei saw him, he knew that this was his fifth cousin who had never shown up.
The appearance of Mr. Ji Wu seems to be more like his father, and he is handsome and elegant.
Mingwei is not sensitive to looks and just glances at them.
"There is a bright moon on the sea, and we are together at this moment in the world. Lovers complain about the distant night, but they miss each other at night..." He tilted his head and paused, then continued chanting, "Suddenly there was a fairy mountain on the sea, and the mountain was in the ethereal space..."
The window of the neighbor's house suddenly opened, and with a "pop", something came over and hit him on the back.
Then there were shouts and curses: "Ji Xiaowu, why are you so crazy in the middle of the night? You're disturbing people's sleep!"
The young man riding on the wall turned and shouted to the next door: "Sister-in-law Qi, why are you sleeping on this beautiful night! Come, come, let's watch the moon together!"
If this was said to an older man, it would be teasing. But he was born well, even if his words were a bit wild, he only had the frivolity and uninhibitedness of a young man, not anything vulgar.
Sister-in-law Qi was very angry at him: "If I want to see the moon, do I need to watch it with you? If you don't go back to sleep, your brother and your father will beat you together tomorrow!"
After that, he closed the window hard.
"Alas!" The young man sighed and continued chanting, "Such a good day and such a night, for whom..."
Before he could say the next half of the sentence, he saw the lonely girl under the flower stand in the courtyard, and immediately blurted out: "Is there really someone standing in the middle of the night?"
Tonight the moon is full, illuminating the courtyard as bright as water. He clearly saw that the girl had a graceful figure and a face that was too bright to look like a real person. She was dressed in thin plain clothes and seemed to fly away in the next moment when the night wind blew.
"Ah, fairy?" He scratched his head in confusion, "Did the fairy see my sincerity and come here to give me advice?"
As he spoke, he lowered his head and asked Mingwei: "What do you call a fairy? Are you here to teach me the magic of fairy?"
Mingwei did not expect to meet his "fiancé" under such circumstances.
Looking at Ji Xiaowu in front of her, she thought of her junior brother.
The two of them are not alike. Ji Xiaowu looks young and frivolous, but the younger brother is extremely honest.
However, the first time the junior met them, he also tugged on the master's sleeve and asked: "Are you an immortal? Can you teach me the magic of immortality?"
Recalling the old events, Mingwei lowered his eyebrows and smiled. Seeing Ji Xiaowu's dumbfounded expression, he was in a good mood and said, "The law should not be taught lightly. If you really want to learn it, you must pass the test."
Ji Xiaowu said with great interest: "What test? Tell me about it." His tone was very confident.
Ming Wei smiled: "Let's talk about this later. Let me ask you first, do you understand these things: Ziwei Dou Shu, Liu Yao Gua, Tiangang and Earth Evils, and questions about good and bad luck?"
Ji Xiaowu waved his hand: "I've learned this before, it's not interesting."
"Then what do you want to learn?"
"Immortal magic!" His eyes were bright.
"For example?"
"For example, turning grass into humans and horses, traveling thousands of miles in one day." These are all strange skills written in Zhiyi novels.
Ming Wei smiled: "It's a bit exaggerated to travel a thousand miles in one day. It's still possible to turn grass into people and horses."
"Really?" Ji Xiaowu urged, "Show me."
Mingwei looked up, broke off a branch from the flower stand, tied a few knots to make a human shape, then used magic to draw a talisman on it, and threw it into the courtyard.
Ji Xiaowu blinked: "Where's the horse?"
"You have a good idea."
After she finished speaking, two branches and leaves twitched a few times, twisting like legs.
"Ah!" Ji Xiaowu's eyes widened as he watched the branches and leaves stand up crookedly, walking around in the yard like a drunken person.
“You can really turn grass into humans and horses!” He was excited, “Fairy, please teach me!”
Ming smiled but said nothing.
Ji Xiaowu suddenly came to his senses: "Oh, you mentioned a test earlier, right? Just say it, I will do it even if I go through fire and water!"
Mingwei nodded, looked around, and picked up a hemp rope left under the flower stand.
She shook her hand, and the hemp rope flew into the air and hung straight in front of him.
Ji Xiaowu stretched out his hand and pulled, but found that he couldn't pull it.
He raised his head in confusion and looked at the empty night sky: "Where is it tied?"
Ming Wei said: "If you could see it, would it still be called magic?"
Ji Xiaowu thought for a while and nodded: "That makes sense. What about my test? What is it?"
Mingwei pointed at the hemp rope: "Climb up along the rope and see what's on it. If you can come back smoothly, you will pass the test."
"Can you climb up?" Ji Xiaowu became even more interested, "Can it go to heaven? Hahaha, wouldn't it be possible to see if there is a Jade Emperor and Queen Mother in the sky? By the way, steal Laojun's elixir and then kidnap him. A fairy is back."
Ming Wei only smiled: "You will know if you go up and take a look?"
"Okay, okay, I'll go up and wait!" He pulled the rope and made sure it was secure, then took off his loose robe and grabbed the rope to climb up.
This rope is so long! Not knowing where to go, he climbed up for a while. Seeing that the house below was getting smaller and smaller, he quickly climbed into the clouds.
"So this is what heaven feels like, hahaha, interesting." Ji Xiaowu continued to climb up.
However, he climbed for a long time, passing through layer after layer of clouds, but never reached the top.
"Why didn't you climb up for so long? What if my parents find out at dawn? But it took me a long time to get here..."
He thought for a while~IndoMTL.com~ and decided to continue climbing up. After finally having such a mysterious experience, how could I give up? Maybe we can really let him climb to the sky, then...
The more Ji Xiaowu thought about it, the more pleased he became. His tired hands and feet regained strength.
Seeing him like this, Ming Wei smiled and went back to the house.
Just when Ji Xiaowu climbed up the wall, in the wing not far away, Ji Ling was woken up by his wife: "Xiaowu is back!"
Ji Ling has been traveling non-stop these days and is very sleepy. He just hummed and said vaguely: "He will come back as soon as he comes back. Don't pay attention to him."
Turn over and continue sleeping.
Ms. Dong patted him: "Forget it if he goes crazy. My cousin is at home now. Why don't you make a noise in the middle of the night?"
Ji Ling was confused and did not respond.
Ms. Dong had no choice but to hear that there seemed to be no movement outside. She thought that Xiao Wu must have gone crazy?
Who knows, Ji Ling was confused for a while and then woke up: "Yes, my cousin is still here! I don't know if Xiao Wu will make a fuss."
As he said that, he rubbed his face, got up, put on his clothes and put on his shoes.
Ms. Dong also got up and lit the lamp.
The couple came out with a lantern and walked around to where Ji Xiaowu usually climbed the wall. No one was seen.
"Are you going back to sleep?" Ji Ling yawned, "Let's go back too."
Mr. Dong suddenly pulled his sleeve: "Look!"
Ji Ling looked as she pointed and saw a rope hung on the high flower stand, and someone was grabbing the rope and crawling. Forget about crawling, he kept crawling in place, moving his hands and feet up and down again, like a mouse in a roller, staying in place no matter how hard he ran.
"Ji Xiaowu!" A shout broke the calm of the night.
