Chapter 125 Daily Life. - Today of 4 girls 4.
In the previous chapter, Qi Xinyang and his companions were in the weapon room of the Hidden Mountain Sect, each choosing a weapon they wanted to learn. Xiaojiao chose a crescent shovel, a weapon often seen in movies and TV series, You Ke chose a less common double-headed gun, and Qi Xinyang chose a strange double-headed weapon.
Since Coach Tuolierdi didn't know how to use this strange double-headed weapon, Qi Xinyang had to ask others for instructions. Coach Tuolierdi originally told Qi Xinyang to ask Ding Lei, but later said that Ding Lei was no longer in the mountains and asked Qi Xinyang to ask the chief of the tribe instead.
So, at this moment, Qi Xinyang came to find the chief of the tribe with that strange double-headed weapon.
As soon as he arrived outside the chief's house, Qi Xinyang met the chief's daughter Yingping Youzi.
Yingping Youzi had just walked out of the house when she saw Qi Xinyang holding the strange double-headed weapon. She asked Qi Xinyang, "Are you looking for something, Chief?" She could probably guess that Qi Xinyang was asking how to use the weapon, but she still thought it was "unnecessary" and just treated it as a greeting.
Qi Xinyang nodded and told Yingping Youzi, "Yes! Let me ask how to use this weapon." As she said that, she handed the strange double-headed weapon to Yingping Youzi, as if asking Yingping Youzi for an "answer."
Yingping Youzi smiled awkwardly and said to Qi Xinyang, "This...you should ask my father. I don't understand this."
After hearing this, Qi Xinyang said to Yingping Youzi, "Okay! I'll go in and ask your father!" As she was about to go into the house, she stopped halfway and turned back to ask Yingping Youzi, "I haven't seen Ding Lei these days. Where did he go?"
Yingping Youzi told Qi Xinyang, "Father asked him to take the tribe down the mountain, saying they were going to your country."
Qi Xinyang then asked Yingping Youzi, "Huh? Our country? Oh! What are they doing there?"
Qi Xinyang didn't react at first and thought that Ding Lei had traveled through time with others, but he soon remembered that Yingping Youzi was talking about "Stilas Odin".
Yingping Youzi told Qi Xinyang, "I don't know exactly what they were going to do. Father and Ding Lei both said they were 'afraid of word getting out' and refused to say what they were going to do. They were both so tight-lipped that not even the tribesmen who were traveling with them knew what Ding Lei was taking them to do."
After hearing this, Qi Xinyang rolled her eyes. She then asked Yingping Youzi, "Why are you being so secretive? Are you going to do something bad?"
Yingping Youzi's face was visibly unhappy. She told Qi Xinyang, "Look at what you said. How could they possibly be doing something bad? Although they didn't say it, I suspect they're probably doing farm work. It's almost harvest time, and maybe some lord needs workers to harvest his fields."
Yingping Youzi's guess was actually half right.
Hadn't the chief previously sent Ding Lei to "carrier pigeon"? He quickly received a piece of news that made them all very happy. And Ding Lei was taking his people to Stylas Odin this time to do farm work, but not the "autumn harvest" as Yingping Youzi had mentioned, but rather to plant the fields. Hence, Yingping Youzi's guess was only half right.
If there are readers who don’t understand what is being said here, they can go back to the previous volume and recall what happened when Qi Xinyang first came to the “Yinshan Sect”.
Then, after saying goodbye to Yingping Youzi, Qi Xinyang went into the house.
After entering the house, Qi Xinyang forcefully placed the strange double-headed weapon on the table. In short, it was clear that he had placed it there, but with a bit of force.
The chief was still dozing off when he was awakened by the noise. When he opened his eyes, he saw the strange weapon appear in his sight.
The chief saw Qi Xinyang the second he saw her. He quickly asked her, "Miss, what's wrong? What happened?"
Qi Xinyang's face was full of complaints, and it was unclear whether they were genuine or just pretend. She told the chief in a very unhappy tone, "No one knows how to use this weapon! I heard that the chief is knowledgeable, so I came to ask you!" As she spoke, she pointed to the strange double-headed weapon on the table.
Qi Xinyang's natural ability to make up stories and add fuel to the fire is still as top-notch as ever.
After hearing the compliment of "well-informed," the chief's face lit up with a hint of joy. He said to Qi Xinyang, "Don't listen to their nonsense, girl. But what they say is basically true."
Then, the chief looked at the strange double-headed weapon on the table, his face full of question marks. He scratched his beard with the back of his fingers and asked Qi Xinyang, "Did you bring this weapon up the mountain yourself? We don't teach you how to use weapons from outside..."
Qi Xinyang's eyes widened as he told the chief, "No! This is the weapon in your weapons room!"
The chief uttered a "Hmm?" and then took a closer look at the strange double-headed weapon on the table. After thinking for a moment, he said to Qi Xinyang, "We might have such a weapon in our weapons room, but it's a little unlikely that such a weapon would appear in our weapons room."
After hearing this, Qi Xinyang stepped on the stool and said to the chief, "Don't bother with all this nonsense. I got this from your weapons room. I, a little... girl, really like this!" As she spoke, she pointed to the strange double-headed weapon on the table.
Qi Xinyang originally wanted to call herself "young master", but remembering that she was a woman, she suddenly came up with the idea of calling herself "young lady". If she were to be with her two followers, she would call herself "old lady" when she was anxious, but calling herself "old lady" to someone of the chief's age was really too strange.
The chief looked troubled and asked Qi Xinyang, "Little girl, there are so many weapons in this weapons room, why did you choose this one?"
Qi Xinyang didn't waste any time and just took the weapon in his hand and made an archery gesture.
After the chief saw it, he immediately understood and muttered, "Oh, so that's it."
What was going on? It turned out that the strange double-ended weapon Qi Xinyang was holding was actually shaped like a bow. It looked like a "bow" without a bowstring, but with an unsharpened "blade" at each end.
After understanding Qi Xinyang's thoughts, the chief asked Qi Xinyang again, "So, do you have to learn this?"
Qi Xinyang replied to the chief, "This is so convenient! Why not learn it? If the arrows in this quiver are used up, I can still use the 'bow'." As she spoke, she waved the "bow" back and forth.
The chief persuaded Qi Xinyang, "You can also carry other weapons with you. When you run out of arrows, you can use other weapons."
Qi Xinyang had already thought it through after seeing the "bow" in the weapons room. She immediately said to the chief, "No, no! Bringing another double-headed weapon would reduce the number of quivers I carry! I don't care, I'm going to learn this!"
Qi Xinyang was right. She had a wearable double-layer quiver and carried a backpack with two quivers mounted on it. If she were to carry a double-ended weapon, it would be quite inconvenient. After all, she wasn't a dwarf like Bound Foot, and carrying so much stuff would be uncomfortable.
The chief thought for a moment and said to Qi Xinyang, "Little girl, what you said makes sense, but no one has ever learned this weapon before... But it doesn't matter! As long as it's in the weapons room, you can always find it in the book. I'll go back and see which book has it. Come back tomorrow and I'll tell you how to use it."
After hearing this, Qi Xinyang's face was filled with suspicion. She squinted her eyes and asked the chief, "Chief, you don't have any method to use it, so you have to make it up overnight?"
The chief told Qi Xinyang, "Oh, little girl, what are you talking about? How could I, a chief, do such a thing? We are absolutely 'honest and fair' here!" He said the last four words "honest and fair" in a very firm tone. If he hadn't been so "firm", no one would have believed what he said.
After hearing this, Qi Xinyang still looked skeptical. She stared at the "bow" in her hand and thought, "Could the unique skills of this weapon be lost?"
Just as Qi Xinyang was lost in thought, staring at the "bow," the chief interrupted her. He took a sip of water and said to Qi Xinyang calmly, "By the way, speaking of 'honesty,' it seems the first round of lessons is over. Little girl, it's time to pay."
After hearing this, Qi Xinyang quickly asked the chief, "Is the cost of learning double-headed weapons the same as the previous archery course?"
After hearing this, the chief quickly told Qi Xinyang, "Of course! We are known for being 'honest and fair' here!" When he said these four words, he was quite "decisive".
Qi Xinyang said to the chief readily: "Okay! I'll bring the money tomorrow! See you tomorrow!" After that, she left with her weapons.
Just like that, after Qi Xinyang left, the chief sat there drinking water and thinking.
Qi Xinyang walked outside and looked at the sky. It was still early, not yet time for dinner. She was the type who couldn't sit still, always wandering around. Then, she sneaked off to a place outside the wall, a location only she knew.
So, what was Qi Xinyang doing outside the wall? After checking to see if anyone was around, she picked up a stone and scratched a line on the wall to mark her current height. From then on, during her time in the mountains, she would secretly check every few days to see if she had grown any taller.
Qi Xinyang did this because she didn't want her two followers to see that she cared so much about her height. But it was useless. You Ke might not have noticed it yet, but Xiao Jiao knew that she cared a lot about her height.
As for what happened next with Qi Xinyang, I will continue to talk about it the next morning.
Since the day isn't quite over yet, I'm going to talk about other people first.
Now let's return to Yang Mingyi. Her situation is relatively simple, so let's briefly discuss it.
After emerging from the green maze, Yang Mingyi and the two trainee monks went to lunch. While prayer is a sacred and important activity, isn't eating unimportant? In Yang Mingyi's mind, food is naturally sacred; it must be eaten and not wasted.
After lunch, Yang Mingyi immediately brought the two trainee mages to the Sacred Hall. She prayed with the two trainee mages in the Sacred Hall for a while, and then everything was fine.
The only thing worth mentioning is that the Holy Mage in the Sacred Hall explained to Yang Mingyi some of the things a Holy Mage should do. After entering the Sacred Hall, the Holy Mage personally instructed Yang Mingyi on how to "bless" Li Xingqi and Cordelia. This was how Yang Mingyi unintentionally cast the "blessing spell."
Anyway, things are so incredible that Yang Mingyi suddenly learned another spell.
Yang Mingyi first gave Cordiloia the "blessing", and the whole process was seen by Li Xingqi.
Li Xingqi hurriedly asked Yang Mingyi, "Mingyi, your hands were glowing just now. Did you cast some magic?"
The Holy Mage of the Sacred Hall immediately explained to the three girls, "The so-called 'blessing' is actually the process of casting the 'blessing spell.'"
After hearing this, the three girls all said "Oh" and nodded repeatedly.
Then, the Holy Mage of the Sacred Hall said to Yang Mingyi, "I didn't expect you to be able to cast the Blessing Spell directly on your first try. It's clear that you are also a very devout and talented Holy Mage. If there is a church that needs a Holy Mage, you can take up the position right away after a little training."
Cordelia said to the Holy Mage of the Sacred Hall, "It doesn't necessarily mean Mingyi will be assigned to another church. It could be that you will be assigned to the position, and then the Sacred Hall will be under Mingyi's management."
The Holy Mage of the Sacred Hall was stunned for a moment and said to Cordelia: "This is also very possible..." After being "reminded", he suddenly remembered that he had heard that Yang Mingyi was a good friend of the eldest princess. If this was the case, then what Cordelia said was absolutely correct.
After hearing this, Yang Mingyi thought to herself, "Ah? Managing a church? Wouldn't that be very busy? That won't do! I haven't even explored this other world..."
Well, that's all about Yang Mingyi. In the next chapter, we'll talk about You Jiahui. Since Wei Qingping and the warden's story are connected, we'll leave that for later.
