Chapter 10: Gossip

Mu Qingyan is very familiar with the road to the capital, Sang Ke has read a lot of books, the two of them are not lonely all the way, for a while Sang Ke tells an allusion in the book, and for a while Mu Qingyan talks about a folk gossip, and after a while, he is familiar with it, and even the name has changed, and Sang Sang Mudi is very affectionate.

On this day, when he walked to Baishi Town, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, Sang Ke told a story about the white stone fish girl repaying her kindness, Mu Qingyan listened to it with relish, and praised, "You are good at learning, the masters must like it very much, by the way, you can go to the female officer exam." ”

"Female officer, it's not practical, I want to learn to plant first, grow something to eat by myself, and never go hungry." Although she was only hungry for three days, she didn't want to experience the feeling of her chest against her back for a minute.

"Sangsang, are you a little promising, all the girls who come out of Qionglin, the person who marries is either rich or expensive, and they still need to go to the field in person?"

"I haven't thought about getting married. ”

But it doesn't matter, you don't have to think about it, the ladies in the capital always like to hold all kinds of parties and invite our female bachelors from Qionglin to be guests. ”

"I don't want to be picked around like cabbage, besides, now that there is a leak of vitality, maybe one day I can return to my original form when I am full of spiritual power, and live for hundreds of years, if I really marry an ordinary man, he will die at the age of sixty or seventy, wouldn't I be very sad?"

"Blind worry, in the early years, Qing cultivation was prevalent, and many children of rich and noble families had Qing cultivation. If the heaven and earth are forbidden and the vitality circulates, they can also live for a long time when they cultivate, for example, this is the case with my young master, but don't fight my young master's idea, he is already engaged. ”

"Early marriage?"

"Refers to the belly for marriage. It was decided before he was born, the Su City Lord of Xutang City and my Hou Ye had been close friends for many years, and the two ladies were pregnant at the same time, and the first god in the world calculated that they were pregnant with a son and a daughter, so they made a marriage contract in the mother's womb. ”

"The Void Tang City Lord, and the Tiger Hou Fu family, can really be regarded as a good person!" Sang Ke sighed.

During this time, she digested the books that the original owner of this body had read while walking. In this world, the trajectory before the year before last was the same as the world in her previous life, but the wheel of history drove to the turbulent period of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms after the death of the Tang Dynasty, and the door of Liuhe was opened between the three realms, and it was completely divided.

Even so, at this time, the human world still faintly remembers the previous generations when the Three Realms were not connected, especially the two prosperous eras of the Han and Tang Dynasties, which are often used as names and deeply commemorated. And this Xutang City, one of the seven main cities in the human world today, is located in the upper reaches of the Changsheng water, the large and small water systems in the territory are dense like spider webs, it is the most typical land of fish and rice, and there has always been a proverb that "the Xutang is ripe, the world is full" has been spread in the human world.

"That's right!" Sang Ke suddenly thought of a question, "Miss Su is going to marry Fu Heng, and you are a maid who wants to be a concubine, so won't you want to serve a husband together in the future?"

"How can you use the common word, those two are masters, and I have to serve. Sangsang, Miss Su is also studying in Qionglin, you can't talk like this in front of her, her temper is not very good. ”

"It seems that Fu Heng has a good temper. ”

"The young master is also very difficult to serve, but he is very good to Miss Su, do you know why?"

"It's natural to be nice to your fiancΓ©e, and you still need a reason?"

"Of course you need, my lord is very cold to his wife, but Miss Su is different, she is the eldest daughter of the peony family who is stunning in the world, and as soon as she arrived in Qionglin last year, she attracted tens of thousands of people to watch, and was known as the well-deserved first beauty in Beijing. ”

Mu said lightly, showing an envious expression, "It's really beautiful, and the tantrum is also beautiful, no matter how hard the young master's temper is, he can't be fierce to her." ”

The two were talking energetically, when suddenly a group of villagers helped the old and the young, carrying large and small cage packages, and everyone was frightened, shouting and shouting, "The devil is coming, he wants to eat people, everyone run!"

Sang Ke's eyes were quick, and he grabbed a villager and asked, "Have you seen the demon?"

"In the village in front, we have taken away our chickens, ducks, geese and pigs, and we are about to arrest people, so don't run away!" he said, shaking Sang Ke's hand away and running away.

Facing the villagers who fled in a hurry, the bunk that fell to the ground was shrouded, and the two girls looked at each other, but Sang Ke spoke first, "I want to take a look." ”

"You want to slay demons?"

"If you think about it too much, just go and see it, you don't seem to have seen it, right?"

"What's there to see. ”

"I've seen two old demons, and the younger ones haven't read them, but there are a lot of illustrations in the book, and I find some of them quite handsome. ”

"Handsome?"

"Manly enough, isn't it!" Sang Ke found that Mu Qingyan was actually a rather unassertive person, and continued to persuade her, "I think your young master is ambitious, what if he goes to subdue the demon, you won't help?"

"That's right, the young master is jealous and hateful, if he encounters it, he will definitely not let it go, so let's go. ”

The two agreed, holding hands and walking forward, Mu Qingyan took out the short knife he carried, the short knife was no more than a foot long, but the brilliance was circulating, faintly emitting white smoke, it looked like a cloud of steam, Sang Ke was curious, "This is a magic weapon?"

"Well, it's called Yulin Ling, and it was given to me by my wife after I had the status of Tongling, but unfortunately I don't have spiritual power, so I can't use its power. ”

"It's good to be able to hold it in my hand, my magic weapon can't be summoned. Sang Ke looked around and picked a fork broom on the ground to support the faΓ§ade.

Baishi Town is very small, a bluestone alley from the east to the west is only three or four hundred meters, every door is open, a mess, the two of them walked back and forth in a short time, half of the shadow was not seen, Sang Ke was a little disappointed, "Where is it?"

A gust of wind blew through the empty town, and there was an echo of whining, and Mu Qingyan hugged his arms, "If you can't find it, let's go, I feel cold." ”

"It's dog days soon, and you still feel cold?"

Mu Qingyan stretched out his arm: "You see, goosebumps are up." ”

"You're scared, you're still a member of the Tiger Family, so cowardly!"

"Well, even if I'm timid, let's go, eh, Sangsang, where are you going?"

Sang Ke slammed into an empty door, "I see a dark shadow inside, come on!"

"You can't calm down!" Mu complained lightly, and he didn't dare to stay outside alone, so he had to follow in with a short knife.

It's just a small courtyard as soon as you enter, and you can see it at a glance when you enter the door, and Sang Ke rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to look for "It's strange, I obviously saw it." ”

"Maybe a dog, or a cat?"

"Then you should call twice. Sang Ke suddenly thought of it, squatted down all of a sudden, and looked under the bed, there was a black shadow curled up under the bed, and he couldn't see what it was, and his two eyes glowed with a faint green light, which was very embarrassing.

She beckoned, "I see you, come out." ”
