132. Camellia and Citrus aurantium (I)
Xuanyuan Yu and Meng Li sat at the round table, and immediately asked the other two about Lin Ziyue's situation after ordering.
Xuanyuan Yan raised his chin at Bru: "It was said to be a book, but I didn't see what was written." ”
Seeing the murderous intent in Xuanyuan Yu's eyes, Blue had to explain two sentences to himself: "Actually, that book is nothing special, it is really a book." If you're curious about what she's seeing in it, you can just ask her, because I don't know. ”
Meng Li seemed to have such a thing when he remembered it: "Is it the divine book you talked about before?"
"Well, but you'd better not go up while she's watching. Although everyone sees the content differently, the book will only have its meaning when you read it the first time, and the second time it will only be in shape. It's not good to disturb her enlightenment. Blue's words seemed to be a friendly reminder, but in fact they implied a warning, which made Xuanyuan Yu, who had just wanted to leave the table, helpless, so he could only sit down again.
Xuanyuan Yan rubbed Xuanyuan Yu's shoulder: "Let's eat something, go to the street for a stroll, and find the players of the two mountain gates." ”
"How can you be sure there's an otherworldly person in there?" Blue wondered.
"I can't say well about that flower dynasty, but since that Xiao Er said that the people of the mountain dwelling always come out together, idle and arrogant in the town, I can't think of why they have such a sense of superiority except for the players. ”
Meng Li took over the conversation: "It's Nanhuai Mountain Residence." I also think it will be a player, because the setting of the monastic sect includes the cultivation of the mind, and arrogance is a great hindrance to the cultivation of the Dao, and the general disciples of the mountain gate, especially the relatively small mountain sect, are very particular about self-cultivation. ”
"Is it really okay for Satsuki to be alone?" Xuanyuan Yu didn't agree with this suggestion
The corners of Meng Li's mouth twitched: "You can rest assured...... Your brother and I don't dare to say that we can beat her when we are facing her, and I really can't think of anyone who can threaten her, there is no strong aura in this town, otherwise we would have sensed it. ”
Xuanyuan Yan was very polite: "Since we are going out to inquire, it is naturally better for two people to go together, and it is not easy to go out of the house, little brother, don't stay at home anymore." ”
"I didn't! I just worried about her. Xuanyuan Yu glared at his brother: "Where's Botisi?"
Botisi heard someone shouting for herself, and immediately poked her head out of Xuanyuan Yan's collar and looked at Xuanyuan Yu on the side.
"If there is something big or distressed in Satsuki, can you sense it?"
"Well, I can sense her location, and I'll tell you if she leaves the inn. After saying that, Botisi didn't look at Xuanyuan Yu, and retracted her head again, as if she was too lazy to deal with these people.
Blue's eyes narrowed, and a hint of weirdness could be faintly seen: "You have a big temper, is the demon a native product of the demon world? ”
"I'm a human being—Meng Li, this stupid boy is not, he's a real high-level demon. ”
Meng Li didn't continue the topic, but asked Xuanyuan Yu to take out the map and put it on the table, divided himself into two groups of people, still according to the room arrangement, and then roughly compared the places to go on both sides, highlighting some of the more famous shops in the town, which are all things that are likely to attract players, he does have more say in this regard, and others naturally have no objections.
Since they decided to set off, the time was not too early, after Meng Li and Xuanyuan Yu had something casually, several people set off for the western and southern districts of Haijiao City respectively.
The location of this worry-free inn is the junction of the southwest city, as long as you turn a few corners along the alley, you will naturally walk to the west business district next to it, Meng Li and Xuanyuan Yu walked on the street, the shops here are not the same as what they saw in the worry-free alley yesterday, they are more messy, and there are shouts from the shopkeepers or Xiaoer everywhere. There are also a lot more people on the street, it is very bustling, and there are stalls on the ground with a blanket on the street, but the quality of the things is far from the shop.
Xuanyuan Yu stopped at the door of a small shop, there were a lot of hand-embroidered cloth tigers on the wooden table next to the door of the store, and there were also a few cats and foxes, he weighed it, and the inside was a buckwheat husk, so it was a little heavy, but the material was very smooth to the touch, and it smelled like buckwheat.
"Do you want to bring it to her?"
"Hmm...... It's cute to look at. Xuanyuan Yu said, tugging at the tail of a black cloth cat, looking back and forth for a while, taking two cloth cats and a cloth fox, stuffing these to Meng Li and letting him settle the bill in the house, Xuanyuan Yu himself rummaged through the pile of cloth tigers, after all, this cloth tiger looks like a feature, and he has to pick a unique one to take away.
A small pale cyan cloth tiger fell out of it, embroidered with a large white camellia cluster, and the corners of the face and mouth were smiling, two small tiger teeth were exposed, and two small paws were piled up next to the face, looking cute and cute.
Xuanyuan Yu bent down to pick up the little tiger, but the other slender hand was one step ahead of him, and his hand fell on the back of someone else's hand, and Xuanyuan Yu immediately fell off the wide sleeves of his robe, covering the hand he had withdrawn, and also covering the dagger that appeared out of thin air and landed in his palm.
The white jade arm gently grabbed the little tiger and patted the dust on its body carefully, and then the man seemed to notice that Xuanyuan Yu also straightened up and smiled at him gently: "Childe also likes puppets? I thought that only a little woman like a concubine was interested in such cute things." ”
Xuanyuan Yu was silent and did not answer, this woman is indeed very beautiful, her eyebrows are charming, the tears in the corners of her eyes add melancholy to her gentle temperament, the woman's black waterfall-like hair is simply tied in a bun and draped behind her head, and a small paper camellia is hung on the hairpin, she is wearing a chest-length pink skirt, and her arms are wrapped with snow-white streamers.
At the first glance of this woman, Xuanyuan Yu really felt amazed, and even had a sense of fleeting encounter with the fairy, but then realized that no matter how beautiful she was, it would not have such a big impact on him, and he suddenly had a concept in his heart, and his eyes at the woman became a little colder.
This woman is a player, a real player, and she is still using skills on him just now!
Seeing that Xuanyuan Yu's expression became more and more cold, the woman also showed a blank look in her eyes, and hurriedly took two steps forward, and stood closer to Xuanyuan Yu by putting the cloth tiger back on the table, and a burst of seemingly nonexistent flower fragrance floated over, and the woman's soft voice was full of apologies: "I'm sorry, I just think you have a kind of unearthly temperament, and you have a heart of friendship for a while, so I want to make a joke with you, don't be angry." ”
"You just asked me if I like it, I thought my beloved would like this, so I specially picked it for her. Xuanyuan Yu's words were cold, making him feel that he was about to catch up with Meng Li's possession at this moment.
The woman's slender eyelashes blinked, but her eyes fluttered into a smile, and there was an extra confidence in this smile: "I don't know...... Compared with your beloved, who is more suitable for this cute little tiger? The concubine feels that her posture is not bad, is the son really so hard-hearted to tell others that it is not suitable?"
After that, the woman also picked up the little tiger, lifted it to her chest from the bottom up, deliberately stretched her proud figure, and looked at Xuanyuan Yu, who was half a head taller than her, with a bird's eye, looking a little aggrieved and pitiful, as if as long as Xuanyuan Yu said it was not suitable, she would fall into his arms and cry about how negative he was.
Even though the two had only just met.
In addition to charm skills, this woman's acting skills or love brain are also first-class!
Xuanyuan Yu had the urge to slap himself, it was not self-confidence or narcissism, he really didn't expect that someone would come to the fantasy world to play games, not to seriously experience the magical life of Xianxia in another world, but to play strategy games! Come here to fall in love! Is she treating this place as an otome world? How much does this person have to be Mary Sue to feel that a person falls in love at first sight when he sees her!
Immediately Xuanyuan Yu remembered this woman's charm skills, and suddenly became even more helpless, indeed, with this kind of skill, seeing one love one is her own ability, and it seems that it is not so difficult for others, especially the local residents of the phantom world, to like her quickly.
In fact, at this time, his mind was full of these things, and it was difficult to say whether Xuanyuan Yu was too a straight man of steel, or whether his desire to survive had become instinct.
So Xuanyuan Yu did one thing very resolutely, and the disaster led to the east.
He turned around and shouted at the store, "What are you doing Meng Li!
"You're in a hurry to go on a date—" Meng Li walked out of the store angrily while talking back, he had just told that Xiao Er about the price for a long time, five silver coins were too expensive, and it was clear that the price was starting from the ground!
Although Meng Li is not stingy, he is indeed a budget-conscious character on the surface, how could he be so clearly pitted, and in the end, he talked about the price of ten silver coins to buy these three puppets, and just after paying the money for the shopkeeper to pack it, he heard Xuanyuan Yu urging outside, and he naturally had gas in his stomach.
The woman was on one side, and saw another man with high sword eyebrows and a swordsman dressed as a swordsman striding out, this swordsman came out with more handsome and resolute facial features, although the face looked a little inconspicuous at first glance, but the woman caught a glimpse of some kind of hidden traces, she subconsciously used her own skills to crack the illusion, although she didn't see the whole picture, but faintly glimpsed the more evil side under the man's face, which made her completely stupid.
To say that Xuanyuan Yu gave her the feeling of a breeze without a trace, then the temperament of this swordsman is like an iceberg hidden in flames, but the tip of the iceberg is the charm of a hundred flowers, not to mention that the iceberg is full of anger at this time, and the young man's high-spirited feeling makes him slightly sharp, which makes the woman's heart break.
She felt that she had met true love again—of course, Xuanyuan Yu just now didn't count, didn't he say that he had a lover? What use did you want him...... No, let him introduce me to him! How can this little brother be so temperamental! Iceberg? I see that your iceberg is just a mask, but under the mask of an iceberg man, he is so charming, and he is as gentle as water......
Looking at the pair of shining peach blossom eyes in front of him, there seemed to be love about to emerge, Meng Li felt that he had goosebumps, after inheriting the title, it was because he couldn't stand this crazy love that he deliberately hid the charm of his appearance to this day, but how did this woman's gaze look ...... I wanted to pick him alive.
It's not that Meng Li can't feel this woman's emotions, that kind of emotions are too strong for ordinary people, basically as long as he says a word, this woman will sell her soul to him - her desire has indeed reached the point where she can be directly absorbed by him as a believer. However, Meng Li was not interested, and under the influence of Strawberry, the main members of the Seven Deadly Sins basically never absorbed their own followers, and in order to avoid karma, they tried to hide behind the scenes.
How could Meng Li change his creed because this woman's soul qualifications were good, and he didn't want to add new troubles to Lin Ziyue's search journey.
So he looked at Xuanyuan Yu who shouted him out very indifferently: "Who is this person?"
"I don't know, I just want to urge you to hurry up. ”
The woman was still intoxicated listening to Meng Li's voice, but the next moment she immediately came back to her senses, and then hammered Xuanyuan Yu's arm with a smile, as if she was very close to him, and she didn't notice that Xuanyuan Yu's sleeves were trembling, and she was ready to poke out the dagger at any time. The woman said to Meng Li: "I have a good relationship with this scholar, but I didn't expect that the moment I saw you was really ...... A mistaken beauty, can you allow a little woman to be rude? I don't know your son's surname?"
Although Meng Li really wanted her to report her name first, he always felt that such a strange tone was not appropriate for half of his disciples, so he blurted out: "Are you an idiot? He called me Meng Li just now." ”
Well, now the bandits have turned into swearing.
The woman's face turned pale at first, and then as red as a boiled shrimp: "How can you call me an idiot......? It's the first time we've met, how can Mr. Meng be so abrupt......"
This time, Meng Li's face turned white, and he realized that this woman was so strange, and immediately glared at Xuanyuan Yu fiercely, and found that Xuanyuan Yu had actually taken four or five steps back quietly, and was about to return to the crowd on the street, without any thoughts of righteousness at all.
Meng Li suddenly became even more angry, and quickly took a few steps forward and dragged Xuanyuan Yu to run, and the two of them slipped away as fast as if they had hit a ghost, and in just a few breaths, they were completely gone.
The woman held her face with her hands, and her eyes were still full of peach blossoms flying in the sky, as well as Meng Li's distant figure: "Ah, I didn't expect Meng Gongzi to be so vigorous, could it be that you are also a person in our cultivation......?"
Then the woman's pupils suddenly dilated, and she stared at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, but she never saw the young man with a strange charm in the Taoist robe and sword: "Hmm? Meng Gongzi is gone......
"Damn! he XX actually ran away!" The woman suddenly burst into a foul mouth and stood on the spot and stomped her feet, hatefully slamming the cloth tiger she was still holding in her arms to the ground, causing the shopkeeper in the store to come out and take a look, and the shopkeeper just wanted to scold when he saw this, but after carefully looking at the woman's dress and appearance, he could only sigh secretly and then turn around and go back to the store to continue settling accounts.
Someone in the curtain of the silk village next door heard the woman's voice and hurriedly ran out, only to see that it was also a little girl wearing a pink skirt, but at the age of sixteen or seventeen, tied with two bun heads with camellia hairpins, and her eyebrows and eyes were as light as a little lark that could not stop.
Tang Lingling originally went down the mountain to purchase this time to discuss the matter of buying new satin, and heard that a new merchant ship from Aisata had just arrived yesterday, so she especially wanted to see if there were any new styles that had been passed to the Baolai Chamber of Commerce in Dongsheng.
But Tang Lingling had just heard the senior sister who had always cared most about her appearance, words and deeds scolding? This was so unusual! Did she hear it wrong? That voice was Senior Sister!
"Senior sister, what's going on......" When Tang Lingling came over, she saw that her senior sister was indeed "angry", her face was red, and her eyes were full of "tears", she couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly said to her senior sister: "Who bullied you! Is it that group of bad people in Nanhuai again! Senior sister, don't cry!"
The simple girl looked left and right, and didn't see the few rivals who usually didn't look right, if they really made the senior sister cry, she would not spare it, even if she couldn't beat people, she had to be reasonable. But after looking around, he couldn't find the culprit, and Tang Lingling became more and more confused: "Senior sister, who made you angry like this......?
The woman hugged the girl who was simply thinking about herself, and snorted angrily: "It's a wrongdoer! It's your senior sister's life's fatal wrongdoer! Lingling! Why is my senior sister so miserable—— how can I look down on other ordinary people in the future!"
Tang Lingling was made big by this hypocritical senior sister, and her eye circles also made the woman reddened with fright, not because she was wronged, but because the senior sister suddenly lost her temper, Tang Lingling felt ashamed: "Don't cry, senior sister, let's not cry! Just let the master solve any grievances! Don't howl like this in the street, it's embarrassing......"
Although the woman still spoke poignantly, hugging Tang Lingling as if she was crying, but her face buried in Tang Lingling's shoulder, she still had a look of remembrance of Meng Li, obviously still reminiscing about the strange charm she sensed at the moment when she broke the disguise, although the charm was much weaker when she recalled it, but it was so touching that it could even be said to be an evil charm that brought a sense of oppression, which still made the woman keep reminiscing.
Tang Lingling became more and more embarrassed, and could only keep patting her sister's back, hoping to calm down her sister's emotions as soon as possible.
"Oh, what is this? Did Yu Huaying finally cry on the street? It's too lonely not to be able to soak in a man?" The person who said this was also a woman, but there was contempt and viciousness in the words, and she even almost scolded Tang Lingling's senior sister for being the Qinglou archway.
Tang Lingling's anger suddenly came up, but she felt that her senior sister's arms around her tightened, and then she patted Tang Lingling's back and let Tang Lingling go, what caught her eye was the noble and elegant expression on her face, if it weren't for the fact that her senior sister's hair bun was still a little crooked, Tang Lingling would have thought that it was an illusion to hear her complain in a dumb voice just now.
The woman turned her head and faced the few young people in cyan robes who were slowly walking over, the woman straightened her hair bun, pinned her few scattered bangs softly behind her ears, and put on that somewhat pitiful look, but her mouth was not forgiving at all: "How can Murong Nuxia say so unbearable? It's a pity that the little woman is also the first in the world when she is an Oiran, unlike some people who will be disgusted when they are bustards! If you weren't sharp enough, no one would want to go to the toilet!"
"Yu Qianrong, you stinky and shameless can't think about anything serious except for men! Don't you have a broken face! What the hell are you talking about!" The Murong woman who was wearing a cyan robe and a hollow pearl hairpin with citrus flowers on her head scolded at the time, and it was she who made a mockery just now, at this time, seeing that Yu Qianrong was still dignified, and even used her skills to the limit of her charm, she became more and more angry, and she really wanted to tear Yu Tianrong's little three faces directly.
The crowd gathered a little, although it was not a matter of a day or two for the two spicy women of the two mountain gates to scold each other on the street, but the people on the streets always never got tired of looking at it, and who didn't want some adjustment in their lives?
But at this time, two people in the crowd looked at each other and were very surprised.
Xuanyuan Yan and Blue were supposed to go to the opposite city, but not long after they walked, they met these disciples of Nanhuai Mountain Dwelling. Since the target appeared, it would be meaningless to wander around the street again, so the two followed behind, ready to see what these people from Nanhuai Mountain House were going to do, and choose a suitable time to come forward and talk.
But I didn't expect to see such a scene.
Xuanyuan Yan felt the sour jealousy on that Murong woman's body, and tested what he might do to her emotionally, and the corners of his mouth suddenly curled.
"How's it going, Blue, do you want to play a hero to save the beauty?"
Blue didn't speak, glancing at Regulus with disgust.
Xuanyuan Yan was bored for a moment: "Okay, then I'll go myself...... You can watch the show. ”
