Chapter 321: Catching the Thief
The records in the jade slips are very complicated, including the basic outline of alchemy, identification of common herbs, alchemy techniques, and fire control. It can be said to cover almost everything related to alchemy.
Duan Qing read this all night, and it wasn't until dawn the next day that he browsed through all the contents of the jade slip.
Stretching and putting away the jade slips of alchemy for now, Duan Qing couldn't help but sigh, this alchemy is really profound and profound, no wonder the elixirs are so expensive.
Seeing that it was already dawn outside the window, Duan Qing got out of bed and started to pack away the empty wine bottles in the house. Since he decided to stay in Liuyue City to cultivate his mind and study alchemy at the same time, he naturally wanted to live more comfortably.
After spending half an hour, Duan Qing finally cleaned up the countless wine bottles in the house and courtyard, put them all into storage bracelets, and prepared to go out and find a place to dispose of them.
As soon as he pushed open the courtyard door, Lin Ziyu's angry little face suddenly came into view.
Duan Qing was stunned for a moment and then reacted. "Fellow Daoist Lin, what a coincidence!"
"What a coincidence you are! I've been shouting outside for so long, but you can't hear me!" Lin Ziyu glared at Duan Qing and said angrily.
She barely slept after staying at the inn last night. She was all thinking about the little moments she had gotten along with Duan Qing since they met, especially the scene when Duan Qing rescued her in the Yin Qi array, which made it difficult for her to fall asleep for a long time.
As soon as it dawned, she couldn't bear it anymore and came to Duan Qingzhi's residence happily to find Duan Qing. As a result, she shouted outside the courtyard for almost half an hour, but there was no movement at all. She was so angry that she wanted to kick the courtyard door. Kick away, but the house is protected by formations, there is nothing she can do!
Duan Qing smiled awkwardly. "I'm really sorry. The formation in the house has sound insulation effect, so I didn't hear Fellow Daoist Lin's voice!"
Lin Ziyu also knew this, but she was just angry that she had waited for so long in vain. She snorted angrily and turned her face away.
Duan Qing was helpless, what the hell was Lin Ziyu doing here so early in the morning!
"I wonder why Fellow Taoist Lin came to my humble residence so early in the morning?" he tried to ask.
Lin Ziyu was speechless for a moment. What purpose did she have? She just simply wanted to see Duan Qing!
It's just how she can say this.
Fortunately, she reacted very quickly, and when she saw Duan Qing looking like he was about to go out, she immediately changed the subject. "Friend Lu Dao, are you ready to go out?"
Duan Qing frowned slightly. He really didn't want to have a close relationship with this girl.
I wanted to say that I wouldn't go out, but after being caught by him, I couldn't deny it, so I could only nod my head and said: "There are some things to do when I go out!"
"Really! That's great. I happen to have something to do, so why don't I wait together!" Lin Ziyu's eyes lit up and she made an excuse at random. She seemed to have forgotten the previous unpleasantness and said with a happy face.
"Since Fellow Daoist Lin is busy, it's better not to disturb Fellow Daoist Lin. Just leave next person!" Duan Qing declined politely.
He just went out to throw away some garbage, so there was no need for anyone to accompany him!
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. You and I have a close relationship, so we should help each other!" Lin Ziyu seemed determined to go with Duan Qing, and even brought up the friendship between the two Five Elements Shinto sects!
Duan Qing couldn't resist, so he had to let Lin Ziyu follow him out of the door and went straight to the mortal area.
When he entered the city, he noticed that there were special waste dumping points beside each canal, so he wanted to take the broken wine bottle in the storage bag to the canal and throw it away.
I have to say that when Lin Ziyu and Duan Qing walk together, they really look like a pair of lovers. Duan Qing's figure is slightly stronger than that of ordinary people, and Lin Ziyu's figure is also relatively tall. Coupled with her otherworldly appearance, they are very attractive when walking on the street. Shangsha is eye-catching.
Lin Ziyu glanced sideways at Duan Qing beside her, a slight blush appeared on her face, and her shyness made her even more beautiful and charming, making passersby, both male and female, unable to help but look at her sideways.
Duan Qing and Duan Qing also received attention from many people, but the eyes they looked at him were filled with envy and jealousy!
Duan Qing, who had always kept a low profile, seemed quite uncomfortable under the gaze of passers-by, and couldn't help but curse Lin Ziyu in his heart.
Nothing good will happen with this stinky girl!
Not long after, Duan Qing walked to the canal closest to Fang City and threw all the wine bottles in the bracelet into the garbage dump.
I thought it was a big deal! It turns out that this brat came out to throw away garbage! Lin Ziyu couldn't help but want to laugh!
After throwing away the flask, Duan Qing turned his head and looked at Lin Ziyu expressionlessly. "I've finished my work, so I won't disturb Fellow Daoist Lin from his work. I'll take my leave first."
After saying that, he walked back.
In fact, with his shrewdness, he couldn't tell that Lin Ziyu was interested in him, but he really didn't want to spend more time with Lin Ziyu.
Although Jing Xia Wushuang has reminded him that he will not deliberately avoid matters between men and women and accepts everything calmly, but he is currently busy breaking through and questioning his state of mind and has no time to think about that aspect.
And the most important thing is that he really doesn't have any feelings for Lin Ziyu, at most he just doesn't hate it!
Duan Qing's words stunned Lin Ziyu. She didn't expect Duan Qing to turn against her so quickly.
She just said casually before that she could go with Duan Qing. In fact, she was busy with anything. But when Duan Qing said this, could she admit that she was actually very free and had nothing to do?
She wanted to make up something at random and ask Duan Qing to accompany her, but she panicked and couldn't think of anything.
For a moment, Lin Ziyu didn't know what to say!
At this moment, a man with a physique quite similar to Duan Qing suddenly came from a distance. The most important thing is that his clothes were very similar to Duan Qing's, both were wearing black robes.
Because his body shape was very close to Duan Qing's, Lin Ziyu glanced at him subconsciously.
But she was stunned when she saw it, and her eyes were fixed on the small bag on his waist!
Isn’t that her treasure storage bag?
Lin Ziyu reacted immediately, pointed at the man walking towards the two of them and shouted. "Don't leave, little thief!"
Duan Qing, who had just walked a few steps, felt a little strange when he heard the sound. He turned around and looked at Lin Ziyu in confusion, and saw Lin Ziyu staring in front of him with a frosty face.
He looked forward along Lin Ziyu's line of sight, and happened to see a man dressed very similar to him. He immediately recognized him. Wasn't this the thief who stole Lin Ziyu's bag that day?
The man glanced at the two of them blankly at first, then seemed to remember something, turned around and ran away.
Duan Qing hesitated for a moment, but still chased after the man. After all, he accepted Lin Ziyu's Fire Spirit Pill, but failed to help him complete the task. This time, he should return the favor of the Fire Spirit Pill.
The man didn't look like a monk, but he was extremely fast and very familiar with the surrounding environment. He was quite good at escaping. Obviously, he was chased more than once or twice.
But no matter how fast he is, how can he be faster than Duan Qing? Even though he can't fly in Liuyue City, his body can match Wen Xingjing. Even with pure physical strength, his speed is far higher than that of mortals.
