Chapter 519: Encounter in Lingxiao Valley (Part II)
Xiaoyaozi sighed, "If you want to say that she is pitiful, she is also quite lucky." Met a man who was very good to her. That man not only tolerated her being pregnant with someone else's child, but also took good care of her here, and even helped her find a stable wife to deliver her, which would be unbearable if it were an ordinary man. My grandmother was fortunate enough to meet the young master of the Demon Sect because she gave birth to that woman, and my grandmother said that she had never seen such a beautiful man in her life, nor had she ever seen such a fierce woman. If these two people are really a Taoist couple, they are also a perfect match for dragons and phoenixes. It's a pity that the person that woman loves is not the young master of the Demon Sect. β
Hong Ningxiang picked up the wine jug and poured a glass of wine for Xiaoyaozi steadily, "You still haven't got to the point, where is she pitiful?"
"When my grandmother was serving the woman in confinement, she quietly inquired about one of the young master's subordinates, only to know that the woman was pregnant, but she was abandoned by the child's father, and the reason why she fell into the devil was also for the child's father, and the reason why the two lived in seclusion here was also because the young master of the Demon Sect lost power, and the two had nowhere to go. β
Xiaoyaozi smacked her lips, "The most pitiful thing is that not long after my grandmother delivered her, the woman was killed here, and her child was also snatched away. And the young master of the Demon Sect has since disappeared in the Demon Realm, but before leaving, he gave this bamboo building to my grandmother, asking her to protect this place, and he also secretly sent people to block the entire Lingxiao Valley, except for my grandmother's descendants, only mortals are allowed to live here, and no monks are allowed to step in here. β
Hong Ningxiang knew that he had missed a point, and he didn't know that she had betrayed the young master of the Demon Sect in her previous life. It seems that Liu Qingming did a good job of secrecy back then, and even deliberately erased the reason why he lost power in the Demon Sect, so she, the female demon, was not terrible in the eyes of these mortals at all, but they all thought that she was a poor person who had been abandoned. If the stable woman who delivered her back then knew that she had betrayed Liu Qingming, I was afraid that they would not feel pity for her, and maybe they should scold her for "deserving it".
Hong Ningxiang smiled bitterly, raised his head and drank another glass of wine.
Hearing Xiaoyaozi continue, "My grandmother has passed away for many years, and this bamboo building has been passed from my father to my hands, and my father and mother have moved out of this place many years ago, so the entire Lingxiao Valley is inhabited by mortals except for me, a casual cultivator. It wasn't until recent years that the young master of the Demon Sect returned to the Demon Realm, and this place gradually became lively, and some monks came and went, but with me, I definitely wouldn't let this place be stained with bloody killings. β
Xu hadn't talked about the legend of Lingxiao Valley with anyone for too long, Xiaoyaozi was like a bamboo tube pouring beans, and he couldn't stop talking, until the woman in front of him suddenly got up and stumbled out, he realized if he was talking too much?
He chased out of the bamboo building in a few steps, "Hey! I haven't finished talking yet!
Hong Ningxiang waved his sleeves and threw Yu Qingguo back.
Xiaoyaozi flew up and caught it, and scolded at Hong Ningxiang's back, "What a weirdo! Obviously you asked me to say it, so you didn't wait for me to finish talking before leaving." However, today Lao Tzu is not at a loss, he is rich, he is rich-" He turned around and entered the house happily.
Out of the fence yard, there is a large field of flowers in front of me.
Hong Ningxiang walked into the depths of the flower field, and his eyes were full of Lingxiao flowers in full swing, spread under his feet, like a huge flower carpet, and his feet were soft and soft when he stepped on them.
She was not very drunk, and she deliberately wanted to get drunk, so after stepping on the flower carpet, drowsiness swept over, and she didn't care if she would be scolded by Xiaoyaozi, she fell asleep in the depths of the sea of flowers.
I don't know how long it took, Hong Ningxiang was in a daze, and he felt as if someone was lying on his side.
"Xiang'er. β
A familiar voice sounded in her ears, and she tried to open her eyes, but found herself too sleepy, barely holding her eyelids, and in a hazy state, she saw a pair of gentle eyes looking at her.
Why has she been dreaming like this lately!
didn't show up, but I actually dreamed of Liu Qingming again.
Hong Ningxiang closed his eyes and forced himself to drive away the face of this demonic being, but no matter how hard she tried, that face refused to disperse, and he leaned over to her face.
She subconsciously waved his face away, only to find that her hand was grasped by a warm hand, and she felt him caressing her hair.
"Xiang'er, why? Why did you become like this? Is it because of me?" the voice trembled.
"Bastard, aren't you leaving? Why are you provoking me again? You go, you go! I don't want to see you......" Hong Ningxiang had a splitting headache, how should she get rid of this dream person.
"Then I'll go, don't regret it. Liu Qingming's face gradually blurred.
"No, don't, don't leave me, don't leave me......"
Hong Ningxiang subconsciously stretched out his hand.
Suddenly, she felt herself fall into a warm embrace, and her lips were hot.
Hmm-
She opened her eyes wide and saw a Lingxiao flower above her head swaying in the light blue sky of the Demon Realm, and the fiery red color shook her eyes.
How hopefully, it's all true!
At least let her look at him one last time, and tell him that in fact, she misses him very much, and she is very reluctant to him, but she clearly knows that he is dead, and she has already lost him.
Hong Ningxiang woke up and found himself lying in the guest room of the bamboo building.
The room was warm with a charcoal basin, and her white curtain was placed on a table next to the bed.
Hong Ningxiang hurriedly got up and took the curtain fence and put it on his head, but at this moment, Xiaoyaozi lifted the heavy cotton curtain, carried a pot of wine in his hand, and walked in, "Don't cover it up! I saw it all! I know that you are just like me, a white-haired old monster! However, you are young, how can you make yourself look like an old woman? What are you stimulated?"
Hong Ningxiang glanced at him, not paying attention to these heart-piercing words, thinking of that dream, she put away the curtain fence and asked, "Who sent me here? Also, how long have I been asleep?"
Xiaoyaozi walked to the table and poured two glasses of wine, and sighed, "When that man sent you here, you were so drunk that he gave me a high-grade spirit stone and asked me to take you in here for one night." β
"What about others?"
"He sent you here and left. Xiaoyaozi remembered the man's expression and glanced at her meaningfully, "Why, you don't know him?" I think he seems to be very familiar with you, and I thought he would come to pick you up today, but, strangely, it's almost noon, and I haven't seen him coming. Hey, heyβ"
Seeing the white-haired woman turn to leave, he chased out with a wine jug, "I still have good wine here, how about exchanging fairy fruits with you?"
Hong Ningxiang didn't have the time to take care of him, and rushed into the Lingxiao flower field outside the small courtyard.
She let go of her consciousness and looked around, only listening to the sound of the wind, the flower fields were like waves surging in the sea, and apart from her, she could see half a figure anywhere.
Suddenly, a heart-piercing pain struck the back of his right foot.
Hong Ningxiang looked down and saw a small spotted snake running into the depths of the flower field, and her silver-white boots were bitten by a snake.
What is she thinking, yesterday she was just drunk and dreaming in the flower field, there is no more such person in heaven and earth, what is she still fantasizing?
Damn! She was bitten by a snake!
Hong Ningxiang quickly closed the key points around his body and sat on the edge of the ridge, and his luck was poisonous.
"Girl, snake venom is not treated like this. β
It's that clean and nice voice again. Hong Ningxiang raised his head and saw a magnified smiling face, it was the man in red who met in Lingxiao Winery yesterday. Yesterday she wore a curtain fence, he didn't see her face, today I saw her without makeup and white hair, but the man in red didn't change his face, I think she thought too much, maybe this white hair is just an eyesore for herself, others may not care much.
This person can approach silently without being noticed by her, and his cultivation must be far above her, Hong Ningxiang knew that he had to deal with it carefully, so he said lukewarmly: "Thank you for this son's kindness." I will heal the wounds myself. β
"Are you sure you don't want me to help?" the man in red leaned over and squatted beside her, "That snake is not an ordinary snake, it grew up eating the blood of beasts in the ground, and there are at least thirty kinds of poison in its body, and you can't take seven steps, otherwise, you will die of poison." β
Seven-Step Snake ...... How did he know about the Seven-Step Snake?
Hong Ningxiang was slightly startled, glanced at him suspiciously, and then looked at the sea of flowers, "You mean, there is beast blood buried in the ground?"
"Well, Ling Xiaohua needs blood to raise, and in order to raise these flowers, Xiaoyaozi collected a large amount of beast blood and used it to water these flowers. β
The man in red lowered his head, and his long black hair fell to her side.
His deep and narrow phoenix eyes approached her, "Girl, your face is so pale, if you don't treat it, I'm afraid your life is in danger." β
"Do you have a medicine for snake venom?" Hong Ningxiang intuitively felt that this person seemed to be approaching her intentionally, but she really couldn't think of any benefit from him approaching her, so let's test it first.
"Snake venom, for me, is fine. The man in red smiled brightly.
"But I can't let you heal in vain. Hong Ningxiang said bluntly that she couldn't accept the help of a stranger for no reason.
"I'd love to. The man in red raised his eyebrows, "How can a fellow cultivator not save him when he sees death? Saving someone's life and conforming to the way of heaven will help strengthen his Dao heart, so why not?"
"Really?" Hong Ningxiang felt that this reason was reluctant, and his impression of him changed slightly.
"However, if the girl doesn't mind, can you let me make a condition?" The man in red stroked a strand of black hair hanging from the corner of his forehead, and seeing that she was silent, he smiled, "Don't be nervous, it's not a difficult thing." I'll tell you later. β
Hong Ningxiang glanced at him, just now he felt that this person was still chivalrous, but in a blink of an eye, he began to gain inches.
"If the girl doesn't speak, I will take it as a tacit. The man in red reached out and groped for his belt, and then raised the palm of his hand to add two more white porcelain bottles, and he handed the medicine bottles to her, "These two medicines, one for external application and one for internal use, can be used for three days, and the girl's poisonous wound can be healed." β
Hong Ningxiang took the medicine bottle, bit his lip, and said to him, "Please turn around." β
The man in red smiled, turned his back to her, although the woman behind him didn't speak, but when he heard the squirming voice, he knew that she must have taken off her boots and was applying medicine, he resisted the urge to turn around, until she said yes, he turned around, only to see that the white-haired woman in front of him had already put on her boots and tried to stand up.
With a pain in the instep, Hong Ningxiang almost fell down, but was held by the man in front of him.
"Girl, be careful!"
"I ...... I'm fine. β
She pushed him away a little awkwardly, but the man in red didn't force it anymore, just glanced at her, suddenly turned around, bent down, and pointed to his back, "Come up." β
ββ¦β¦β
It took Hong Ningxiang a long time to understand what he meant, but she was not familiar with him, how could she let him carry her? Not to mention that she was a married woman, and it was not suitable for her to be so close to a strange man.
Just as she hesitated, he urged: "Come up quickly! Didn't you just promise me a condition? Let me carry you once, and you will not owe me anything." β
Hong Ningxiang was not a person who did not know what to do, so he put aside his worries for the time being, finally listened to his words, stretched out his hand and hugged his neck, lay down on his back, and let him carry himself and walk out of the flower field.
I don't know if it's not suitable for being carried by strangers, Hong Ningxiang deliberately kept it too close to him, even so, it was inevitable to touch his body, and felt that his body seemed to become stiff, she was even more overwhelmed, and her old face was secretly red and red.
After walking without saying a word for a while, Hong Ningxiang spoke: "I haven't asked for the name of the son yet." β
"Under the surname Yang. The man in red clasped her waist with his backhand and lifted her body up, "What about the girl?"
"I-" Hong Ningxiang thought for a moment and said, "My surname is Hong." β
The man in red let out an "oh" and asked, "I see the girl coming here to drink every day, I wonder why the girl is so depressed?"
Hong Ningxiang felt that a layer of fine sweat seemed to appear in her palms, and she slightly let go of the hand around his neck, "You don't understand, Yang Gongzi don't ask." But I also have something I want to ask Yang Gongzi. β
The man in red slowed down his pace and said softly, "Miss Hong, it's okay to ask. β
Hong Ningxiang stared at his back and said softly, "I see that you have been here in the past two days, have you ever seen a man with a very beautiful appearance?" He is about the same height as you, his eyes are very dark and beautiful, and he is also wearing a red robe, but his robe is embroidered with Ling Xiao flowers. Have you ever seen this person?"
The man in red shook his head, "No." And he said, "Why, is the girl looking for him?"
Hong Ningxiang was originally hopeless, but for some reason she was even more disappointed after listening to his words, she smiled bitterly, "Maybe it's just my hallucination." β
"Hallucinations, is that why the girl is so depressed for that person?"
Hong Ningxiang heard him ask, and suddenly felt that she had told him too much, and when she saw that there was the bamboo building in front of her, she patted him on the shoulder and said, "Young Master Yang, let me down." I'll just rest here for a while, thank you Yang Gongzi today. β
The man in red gently placed her on the ground as he said.
He glanced at the sky and said with a smile: "It just so happens that the time I agreed with my friend has also arrived, so I will send it here." Miss Hong, there are many snakes in the flower field, you have to be careful next time, and Ling Xiao is very drunk, so it's better for the girl to drink less. β
Hong Ningxiang said "um".
"Take care. The man in red gave her one last look and turned to leave.
Hong Ningxiang kept seeing him disappear at the end of the path, so he shook his head with a wry smile and returned to the bamboo building.
