Chapter 170: Xiyan Luzhou
On a sea fairy island in Linglong Prefecture, the eastern earth world, a man in white is fishing on the seashore.
It was getting dark, the sunset covered the sky, and the wind and waves on the sea were stronger. The man rolled up his trousers and walked ashore with a few fish in one hand. It was the autumn and winter festival, and the breeze was biting, so the man hurried back, and he was going to make a pot of fish soup to eat before it got dark.
A bonfire is lit on the seashore, and the sunset is shining, like a rainbow in an orange, which is particularly charming. The man in white washed the fish and put it aside, only to see him take out an iron pot and put it on top of the stone pile like a trick. Pour a little vegetable oil into the pot, wait for the oil to boil, and then pour the chopped green onions, ginger and garlic into the oil pot. I don't know where the man in white found these ingredients in the vast sea, there was a squeaking sound in the oil pot, and the man put the washed fish into the pot and fried it.
However, after a while, the fish will be fried in a round color, golden color, and exude an attractive aroma. At this time, the man showed a satisfied face, poured the boiled water into the pot, and then sprinkled ginger slices and jujube pieces. After a moment, the man lifted the lid of the pot and sprinkled a little green onion into it. He slowly poured a pot of fish soup into a clay pot before extinguishing the flames and walking towards the mountain.
The man walked hundreds of steps to the mouth of a cave, and he looked inside, and when he saw that there was no movement, he stepped in.
When the man entered the cave, he saw two women lying on a stone bed, and said in an undetectable voice, "Count them, they should be about to wake up." "This man is Lin Ziyun, and the two people who are unconscious on the stone bed are Hua Taoyao and Shi Su Li. Through Yu Li's token, Lin Ziyun really found the hiding place of the two girls. When Lin Ziyun saw the two of them, their breath was extremely weak and they had fallen into a coma. Lin Ziyun thought that not only the West Sea Demon Cultivator appeared in the ancient battlefield, but also the hidden danger of Qiyu, so he immediately brought the second daughter out and placed her on a deserted island in Linglong Prefecture.
The candles in the cave are bright, and they are all lights that Lin Ziyun has already laid out. Lin Ziyun sat at the entrance of the cave and watched the last rays of sunset fall, a woman's voice came from the cave, Lin Ziyun was overjoyed, and hurriedly rushed in.
Shi Su opened her eyes in a haze and found Hua Taoyao lying on the side, she looked at the surrounding environment again, and a trace of dazed color appeared on her face. At this time, she heard a sound of footsteps, and hurriedly reached out to take the magic weapon in her hand, but only then did she remember that her magic weapon and traceless sword had been damaged. Shi Su Lian restrained her breath, watching the footsteps slowly approaching, and her heart was about to hang in her throat.
Imprinted in her eyes was a man dressed in white like snow, with a tall figure, coming towards her. Shi Su saw it clearly, convinced that she was not mistaken, and her tears fell like a flood that burst the embankment at this moment.
"Big brother, is that you?" Shi Su said in a choked voice.
"Miss Li'er, it's me, have you woken up?" Lin Ziyun said happily.
Shi Suyun stood up, walked to Lin Ziyun's side, and couldn't help but fall directly into Lin Ziyun's arms and cry.
Hua Taoyao, who was lying on the stone bed, opened her two beautiful eyes but did not open them. Hua Taoyao curled up her body tighter, and buried her hands tightly under her body, like a kitten.
Lin Ziyun touched Shi Su Li's hair and comforted: "Miss Li'er, you and the flower fairy have both been caught in the ecstasy spell of the West Sea Demon Cultivator, and now you have just woken up, and you have to rest well." ”
Shi Su Yi threw herself into Lin Ziyun's arms and nodded, Lin Ziyun waited for her to let go, walked to the side of the stone bed and shouted, "Flower Fairy, do you want to get up and eat something too?" I made some fish soup, and now bring it to you. ”
Hua Taoyao's body lying on her side sat up suddenly. Her beautiful eyes glared at Lin Ziyun as if she was sad, and said, "Flower fairy, flower fairy...... I'm not a flower fairy, if you don't want to call me by my name, you can call me your flower friend. ”
Lin Ziyun didn't expect to offend Hua Taoyao when he broke his head, he said in his heart: "The flower fairy probably slept for too long, so he had the gas to get up." She is still weak now, let her mess around, just let me worry about her. ”
Lin Ziyun said softly: "If you don't like me to call it like this, then I won't call it that." It's just that how to change her words in the future can satisfy the girl, and I hope the girl will remind her. ”
The corners of Hua Taoyao's mouth lifted a sly smile, and said: "You call her Miss Li'er, you can also call me Miss Xiao'er, but I don't allow you to call me girl, can you call me Xiao'er?"
Hua Taoyao looked at Lin Ziyun and snorted as if he wanted to speak and stopped, and couldn't speak for a long time. Shi Su Zhi opened her mouth and said: "This peach friend is jealous, big brother, you are not allowed to call her a child, otherwise I will be angry." ”
Lin Ziyun was in a dilemma, and he couldn't wait to look up to the sky and sigh, who did he provoke.
Hua Taoyao looked at Shi Su Ling coldly, and then looked up at Lin Ziyun's embarrassed face, she thought in her heart: "I can't make Brother Lin embarrassed for the sake of a momentary anger." Hua Taoyao sighed and said, "Brother Lin, the little woman is grateful to you for saving me many times." In my heart, I already regard Brother Lin as one of the closest people in the world, and Brother Lin still don't call me a fairy, a fellow Daoist. ”
Lin Ziyun pondered in her heart: "It turns out that she is grateful to me in her heart, but she doesn't know how to answer, it is really difficult to guess what these women are thinking in their hearts." ”
Lin Ziyun smiled, thought for a long time and said, "I see, if Miss Taoyao thinks that Lin is a little polite, then I can naturally change my words." It's just the name of the girl's family, but Lin didn't dare to call it indiscriminately, so I hoped that the girl would forgive me before. ”
Hua Taoyao had nothing to say when she heard his words, she looked at Lin Ziyun and said, "Brother Lin, my close friends also call me Taoyao girl, so you can call me that in the future." ”
Lin Ziyun smiled: "That's good, Miss Taoyao." ”
Hua Taoyao smiled on her face, and she didn't forget to glance at Shi Su, who was stamping her feet angrily, and squeezed her eyebrows.
Lin Ziyun was sensitive and aware of this scene. He felt the smell of gunpowder in the air getting stronger and stronger, and hurriedly ran away to get the fish soup.
The next day, Lin Ziyun woke up from meditation, and he called Shi Su to discuss the future itinerary with Hua Taoyao. Lin Ziyun said: "Miss Taoyao doesn't know what her plans are in the future?"
Hua Tao said: "Brother Lin, my little sister is ordered by the teacher, so she naturally wants to participate in this battle for luck in the human world." But now that Senior Brother Li has entered the Immortal Palace, I don't know what to do. ”
Lin Ziyun knew that the Senior Brother Li she said was Li Wuxian from Daluo Tiangu, so he nodded, and Lin Ziyun said: "Lin has already made an appointment with Miss Shisu to go to Xiyan Luzhou together, and now there is no trouble, so I have to leave quickly." ”
A hint of disappointment appeared on Hua Taoyao's face, and she said, "Brother Lin, are you going to leave now?"
Lin Ziyun said: "Well, there is no time to delay. You also know my current state, now I am only one step away from the feathering period, if I can get the Heavenly Spirit Grass in Luzhou to refine a Heavenly Spirit Pill, I will have a greater grasp of breaking through to the feathering stage. ”
A hint of hesitation flashed on Hua Taoyao's face, she couldn't say what she wanted to say.
Lin Ziyun looked at her in the breeze and said, "Miss Taoyao, I haven't had time to congratulate you on your successful purchase of the Feather Realm, Lin is here to congratulate you." Say goodbye to you today, and see you again tomorrow. ”
After speaking, Lin Ziyun took Shi Su Lian and Xiaoqing and turned around and left.
"Brother Lin will take me, I want to go too. ”
Sitting on the black bone unicorn, Shi Su said and said, "Big brother, that white-haired person is too terrifying. Even Xiaoqing can't stop him, I feel that he is much more powerful than my senior sister. ”
Hua Taoyao smiled lightly, shook her head and said, "Miss Li'er, that person's strength is definitely much higher than that of Xiao Tianhezhang." If it weren't for Brother Lin's rescue, I am afraid that your lives would be in danger. ”
Shi Su Lian saw that Hua Taoyao was sarcastic about her senior sister Qianhua Hualuo, and she was slightly angry in her heart, but what Hua Taoyao said was only afraid of the truth, and she was not easy to refute. every day
Lin Ziyun said slightly: "If it weren't for Miss Taoyao who brought me into that ancient battlefield, Lin would not have been able to get that kind of creation, let alone save you." ”
Shi Su Lian heard Lin Ziyun lean towards Hua Taoyao, her pretty cheeks were slightly angry, and she turned her head away from Lin Ziyun.
Hua Taoyao looked at Shi Suyao's appearance and said with a smile: "Brother Lin, this is the source of drinking water, but this life-saving grace, the little woman dare not forget." What's more, if I don't take Miss Tate'er to the ancient battlefield, Miss Tate'er will naturally not be in danger. ”
Lin Ziyun hadn't noticed that the two girls were fighting for the wind and being jealous, he said with a smile: "One drink and one peck have their own days, and Miss Li'er is now cultivating to the late stage of foundation building, which can be regarded as a blessing to Miss Taoyao." ”
Xiaoqing is a beast of heaven and earth, and her flight speed is extremely fast. Under the suppression of the human realm, the three of them rushed to Luzhou two days later.
On this day, in a small city in Luzhou, three young men in white robes walked on the street. It was the middle of winter, and the heavy snow had put the town in a white snowsuit.
Shi Su pointed to an inn in front of her and said, "Big brother, let's rest here, right? The demon girl doesn't know where she is? ”
A few people entered the inn and booked three rooms. Lin Ziyun sat on the bed and took out a jade plaque from the storage bag. This token was given to her by the demon, and the demon said that if Lin Ziyun could come to Xiyan and remember to come to her, she could be found with this token.
The jade plaque is engraved with a few characters in a strange script, and a lotus flower seal is carved on the reverse side. Lin Ziyun recalled that he had seen the demon grandfather in Beiyan Nanshan, and there was a lotus mark on the demon grandfather's clothes. It seems that this lotus flower seems to be a sign or a pattern similar to a totem, and this lotus flower seal can be engraved on the token, presumably it is widely spread, and Lin Ziyun only needs to ask the local residents for a while to know.
Lin Ziyun walked downstairs, asked the boss to warm a pot of wine, and ordered a few dishes.
Standing next to Lin Ziyun, the miscellaneous little two, looked at the silver two in Lin Ziyun's hand with bright eyes. Lin Ziyun said with a smile: "This little second brother, I asked you a few things, and the money is all yours." ”
Xiao Er's face was happy, looked at the extraordinary face of the son in front of him, and said: "Childe, although I am, the little one has been in this inn since he was a child. Whether it's the grievances of the rivers and lakes, or some strange things of outsiders, I know a little bit. ”
Lin Ziyun took out the jade plate given to him by the demon and handed it to Xiao Er, saying, "Do you know the origin of this token?"
Xiao Er looked at this jade plate with his eyes open, except that it was a little rare in jade, and he couldn't see anything unusual after looking at it for a long time.
Lin Ziyun was not in a hurry, and he didn't expect to be able to inquire about it. Lin Ziyun took a sip of wine and asked, "What words are engraved on this, do you know them?"
Xiao Er touched the cloth hat on his head, and said with an embarrassed expression: "The villain has never gone to school, and he doesn't know two words." There are so many strange words on this sign, where can I recognize them. However, these two words seem to be the two words of Tianyue in our Tianyue country. ”
Lin Ziyun laughed, it turned out that this little two didn't know the words, so looking at the picture on the token, he didn't know what a word was or what a painting was, so he didn't dare to say more. Lin Ziyun saw that he pointed to the two words Tianyue that were indeed the fonts engraved on the token, and it seemed that Xiao Er was right. As a subject of Tianyue Kingdom, it is not a strange thing to know his own name and the word Tianyue.
Lin Ziyun continued to point to the lotus seal and said, "Then do you know this lotus?"
Xiao Er shook his head blankly, Lin Ziyun gave him the ingot of silver and sent him away.
After Lin Ziyun finished drinking, he felt that his body was warm, and he got up and walked outside.
Lin Ziyun found a relatively large shop, which sold some daughter's jewelry. Lin Ziyun is well versed in the world, and naturally knows that the more noble and atmospheric the place, the more literate people are. Lin Ziyun didn't want to inquire empty-handed, so he picked up the most expensive gold hairpin in the store and settled the bill.
Lin Ziyun is such a big customer, and the boss naturally does not dare to slack off. Although the owner of this shop is illiterate, there is always a bookkeeper in such a large store. After some communication, Lin Ziyun learned that the word "Tianyue" was engraved on the token. This place is the boundary of Tianyue Country, and it is really a coincidence, and the demon may not be far from here.
After painting a large sum of money to buy a hairpin, Lin Ziyun finally spent it in vain. In addition to learning what the words on the token were, the bookkeeper also informed Lin Ziyun that the lotus seal was the family emblem of the Li family of Tianyue Kingdom. With these clues, it will not be difficult for Lin Ziyun to find the demon.
Lin Ziyun was drinking and thinking about how to find the demon demon, there should be many cultivators in the demon clan, and he went directly to ask for the Heavenly Spirit Grass, which looked a little inappropriate. He still remembered the demon's grandfather, who must have been a difficult figure as well.
Lin Ziyun smiled and said, "Demon Grandpa is probably also a cultivator in the feather period, right? At that time, my cultivation was still low and I couldn't see the depth, but now it seems that there is at least a cultivation in the late stage of the feather stage." This...... The immortal order was given to Li Sheng by the demon, and I didn't escort the demon back to the 100,000 Mountain, which made me go directly to the door to ask for the Heavenly Spirit Grass, and I, Lin Ziyun, were really embarrassed. ”
Lin Ziyun lowered his head to drink, and heard a gentle voice sound, "Brother Lin, are you thinking about something?"
Lin Ziyun saw that the person who came was Hua Taoyao, shook his head, and said, "It's not a big deal, but I don't know how to meet this demon girl." ”
Hua Taoyao also poured a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Brother Lin won't have abducted that little girl's heart, so he doesn't dare to see her, right?"
Lin Ziyun smiled embarrassedly: "Miss Taoyao misunderstood, I just didn't fulfill my promise to the demon, so I'm embarrassed to take the Heavenly Spirit Grass." ”
Hua Taoyao took a sip of thin wine, the beautiful eyebrows on her face furrowed, and said, "I thought it was something? It's just a few Heavenly Spirit Grasses." With Brother Lin's current cultivation and strength, this human realm is so big, who among mortals doesn't want to befriend you? If you feel embarrassed, you can also take something and give it to them, and the right is just an exchange. ”
Lin Ziyun also had an idea when he heard it, and his heart was a lot more stable. He finished his last glass of wine, patted himself and got up, saying, "I've found a clue, and it's getting late now." Although we don't need to rest, these mortals still need to sleep. Let's leave early tomorrow morning, and you can rest early, Miss Taoyao. After speaking, Lin Ziyun got up and went upstairs.
Hua Taoyao looked at the wine in the cup, and then looked at the back of Lin Ziyun who turned to leave, raised the wine glass and drank it all. The cold air was steaming, and a beautiful blush appeared on her white cheeks. Hua Taoyao's eyebrows frowned, and she sighed faintly: "Brother Lin, why don't you want to stay with me for a while?"
The next day, the sun rose earlier than yesterday, and it was a golden sun hanging in the sky. It was a sunny day, no snow drifting, no snowflakes, but the slightest breeze in the air seemed to be a cold sword, piercing the skin and bones of people, and it hurt a little.
But this kind of weather can't resist the enthusiasm of the people in the small town. The people of Tianyue wearing short coats and trousers seem to be celebrating some special festival. Someone was riding on a cow horse, and it was a young woman with a beautiful face holding a flower basket and scattering flowers at the worshippers in the street. Young men with weapons in their hands formed a small group and swarmed towards the square ahead. There were also many little girls and boys singing, all with happy and excited smiles on their faces.
Shi Su asked for a flower from a girl's flower basket and held it in her hand, and was very happy. Shi Suyi smiled and said, "Big brother, is there any temple fair or festival celebration here?"
Lin Ziyun replied with a smile: "It should be, it's so lively, let's go over and have a look." ”
Lin Ziyun and the three of them followed the crowd to a huge square, where everyone gathered, singing and dancing, and it was very lively. This piece of passionate breath melts the winter snow.
Lin Ziyun pulled a person and asked, "Are you participating in any special festival, my friend and I are both from the north, so I don't know." ”
The man took Lin Ziyun's arm and motioned for him to dance along. With an excited smile on his face, he said, "Today is our Mother's Day, it's the Lotus Festival. ”
