Chapter Seventy-Eight: No, No, This Must Not Be Said (1/2)
Yuanshuo City Qilin Avenue.
This avenue is very famous, and it is very prosperous, but it has nothing to do with the Qilin, a rui beast, and most of the jade pendants, the children of the family with the Qilin pattern on their clothes, do not like to come here, without him, it is too crowded here, and the beast cart can't go in at all, even if it goes in, it can't go fast.
People come and go everywhere, and there are stalls within a few steps of each other.
Over there, the artist beats the gong and drum, plays with some dexterous little beasts, earns a few silver coins, and the tea stall here holds a simple high platform with wood, draped in red cloth, and sits on the storyteller, telling the legend of the founder of the Tianqian country.
There are more people who are stained with sugar, selling sugar gourds, children running back and forth walk between the laps of adults, laughter is not stopped, the iron pot is on the earthen stove made of soil, stir-fry some tripe snacks on high heat, the soft tripe is processed well, cut into thin strips, sprinkle a handful of spicy seeds after stir-frying on high heat, and then take a handful of coriander, put it in a small paper box and walk, eat while walking, it is also a thing that the people of Yuanshuo like.
This is also what the dignitaries do not like.
The smell of inferior meat in their eyes, mixed with oil smoke, and the strange smell of tea will stick to them, which will not disperse for several days, and may be accidentally touched by a child, leaving black handprints on white clothes.
"Fried chestnuts, fried chestnuts, freshly baked fried chestnuts. ”
"Come on, the best lantern persimmon, you can suck it with a straw stalk, it's not sweet and you don't want money. ”
Among the lively selling voices, there was a teenager's voice:
"Cher, you go slowly, slow down......"
The girl who was walking briskly in front of her stopped, turned around, raised her thin eyebrows, looked at the young man who was rushing over from the crowd, and took the first step and said: "Obviously Xiao Ji, you are thinking about the exercises again, and you are getting slower and slower." ”
Ji Xin scratched his head and said, "I'...... I just ......"
Ao Xue'er has now lost the appearance of the dragon clan, and looks like a Terran girl who is slightly smaller than Ji Xin, her eyebrows and eyes are beautiful and picturesque, seeing that Ji Xin really began to seriously reflect on the appearance of review, she clenched her fists and said viciously in a different tone:
"I'm not allowed next time, otherwise, I'll come to you every day and won't let you have time to practice!"
Ji Xin was stunned for a moment, and said honestly: "I don't dare." ”
Ao Xue'er raised her smooth chin, like a victorious female general in the story, but this majestic appearance did not last long, laughed, pulled Ji Xin's sleeve, and ran to the stall in front, the two children squeezed around in the crowd, and ran straight to the tripe stall.
Ao Xue'er didn't only know Ji Xin in Yuanshuo City, with her identity, many nobles wanted to make friends with her, but they only fell in love with this young man, under Ao Xue'er's coercion and no temptation, Ji Xin changed her name to Xue'er, she said that Ao's surname was too conspicuous in Mrs. Yuanshuo City, and she didn't like others to hear her surname.
She knew that Ji Xin valued cultivation the most, and as soon as she became angry, she threatened Ji Xin not to let him practice.
Ji Xin always explained the importance of cultivation honestly and seriously at the beginning, even if it is a dragon clan, it is right to practice, he has suffered a lot, he doesn't want the girl in front of him to suffer those hardships, saying that he is talented, and he has to practice every day, and he can't waste his talent or something.
But if she said too much, Ao Xue'er would become very unhappy.
So Ji Xin learned, in this case, either honestly admit defeat, or say that if you come to play, it's good, you can't be reasonable, and then Ao Xue'er can't help but laugh proudly, Ji Xin looked at her and laughed, and she laughed herself.
Moreover, Ao Xue'er will not come to interfere with his practice.
Even if she came earlier than the appointed time, she would only sit somewhere and watch him, as if watching people practice hardships is considered an easy and interesting job, or spread her arms and step on the glass cup in the palace courtyard, and walk swaying, the glass cup will make a gentle collision sound.
Sometimes the girl felt comfortable on the smooth surface, took off her shoes and socks, walked on it barefoot, walked all the way to the highest place, and stood on the back of the dragon with her head held high, it was the mocking wind, one of the dragon's blood, I don't know what to think of, she will suddenly laugh proudly, the laughter is crisp, and Ji Xin thinks of the wind chimes under the eaves.
At this time, Ji Xin stood behind Ao Xue'er, separated by a step and a half, the girl's eyes were bright, watching the vendors skillfully make tripe snacks, extremely focused, Ji Xin looked at her quietly, there were a lot of people here, crowded people, and a young man was squeezed towards Ao Xue'er.
Ji Xin subconsciously raised his hand and used his arm to separate Ao Xue'er and the crowd.
It doesn't hurt them, it just pushes the people who come close away with a soft force.
After taking the tripe, Ao Xue'er picked it up with a small wooden skewer while blowing and gave it to Ji Xin, but he only tasted it, and was walking, Ji Xin's footsteps paused slightly, and there was a strange familiar feeling, looking up, he saw that at the very edge of the stall, a young man set up a stall.
The young man was wearing a black power suit, and he couldn't see his face clearly with a hat.
There is only a small jade bottle on the stall, and there is nothing else, and it does not solicit guests, naturally no one comes, Ji Xin is not a nosy character, but he doesn't know how, he subconsciously approached the young man he didn't know, and when he realized it, he was already close to the stall, and it was not easy to walk away, so he asked:
"Shop, how do you sell this thing?"
Before the young man could speak, a vendor selling jewelry and toys next to him interjected: "Little brother, don't ask, this guy is asking for a terrible high price, just now two cultivators came to him, and they actually dared to ask for 100,000 taels of gold and 2,000 spirit crystals, isn't this asking for money all over the world?"
"I still refuse to bargain, and just now a few cultivators can't leave. ”
The young man smiled, his voice was low and low, and he spoke:
"I'm here to find fate, if there is fate, this jade bottle thing, don't take anything, easily give it to him, if there is no fate, then even if you bring 100,000 taels of gold, 2,000 spirit crystals, you are not willing to sell. ”
"Braggart ......"
The vendor next to him rolled his eyes, only saying that he was talking nonsense and fooling people.
Ji Xin didn't know why, he didn't even doubt what this person said in his heart, as if he had a natural sense of trust, but it was a pity that he didn't have so much money, Ao Xue'er, who was holding a small box, followed behind Ji Xin, swayed to the side in front of him, and glanced at the jade bottle.
There was a flash of fiery red and golden streamer in his eyes, and he recognized this jade bottle, and saw the five-colored spiritual rhyme flowing in it, and its purity was almost gushing out.
With a sigh, he raised his head to look at the stall owner.
Zhao Li, who was wearing a hat, also saw this very familiar little girl, and was slightly shocked.
The white space was restored yesterday, and when he was chatting with Ji Xin, he struck from the side, knowing that Ji Xin would come here today, so before leaving, he waited here, but he didn't expect that the friend in Ji Xin's mouth was actually the little girl he had seen in Xilu City.
Zhao Li didn't know Ao Xue'er's true identity, and at this moment, he saw Ji Xin and Ao Xue'er being close.
Look at Ji Xin, look at the beautiful girl, and look at Ji Xin, and suddenly look at the bottom of his eyes.
The corners of her mouth were almost uncontrollable, a smile appeared, and her expression was a little close, Ao Xue'er was curious, took two steps forward to take a closer look, and suddenly felt a chill, her body couldn't help but tremble, and she looked up and saw the corner of the stall owner wearing a hat in front of her smiling, and somehow, she felt a trace of instinct to tell her to stay away from this young man.
This guy is dangerous!
Very dangerous!
The dragon's instincts reminded her.
Even so, in this sense of danger, there is a strange feeling that although it is dangerous, it will not hurt her, some of it is like facing an elder who will tease and bully her, such as seeing the eyes and the mocking wind, Ao Xue'er was cautious, and took two steps back, and that feeling disappeared.
At this time, I suddenly saw the young man in front of me laugh and said:
"Two little guests, are they friends, together?"
Ji Xin nodded.
Zhao Li smiled even more at the corner of his mouth, and said leisurely:
"Then I'll give this thing to the two of you, and I won't take a penny......
Ji Xin was stunned, and was about to take out the money bag, Zhao Li got up, originally planned to reach out and rub the young man's hair, after thinking about it, he turned into a pat on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "If you say that you don't take a penny, you don't take a penny, I came here to ask for fate, and the fate has been sought, so you can accept it, it should be of some benefit to the two of you." ”
"By the way, if a mortal wants to use it, it can be dissolved with water, and you can only take one drop at most. ”
He got up and walked past the boy.
Before leaving, he smiled and nodded to Ao Xue'er.
Ao Xue'er lowered her head, looked at her nose and nose, and looked at her heart, not like her obediently.
When he was far away, Ao Xue'er exhaled a long breath, stretched out her hand and patted her chest, her face was full of luck, Ji Xin was a little curious, looked at her and said:
"What's wrong with you, Cher, you don't look like you since you were just now......"
Ao Xue'er glared at Ji Xin, then leaned closer, and said secretly in a low voice:
"What do you think of that man?"
Ji Xin thought for a while and said, "I think he's very close......"
"Close?"
Ao Xue'er's eyes widened, her nose wrinkled, and said, "How can you be close?" I obviously feel afraid of death, that person covers his face, but I always feel that he is an elder on our side, and I always feel that I must have been bullied by him before." ”
Ji Xin was stunned and looked back, but people came and went here, and in a short time, the person had already disappeared into the crowd, walked away, and could not be seen again, Ji Xin was a little regretful and lost, withdrew his gaze, and looked at the jade bottle in his hand.
wanted to open it, but Ao Xue'er held down her hand and said, "Don't open it here." ”
Ji Xin reacted, nodded, and went back to the palace courtyard together, only to take out the jade bottle, and only then did he open the jade stopper on it, there was a brilliance like a star, and he rushed out with the incomparably pure five elements spiritual rhyme, filling Ji Xin and Ao Xue'er's surroundings.
"It's ......"
Ao Xue'er shook her head and laughed: "Sure enough...... It should be Tianxing Dew, a special spiritual material of a big faction in Xiding Zhenzhou, and Aunt Lu also took it, but in the past, it was always sold by drops, generally speaking, the effect of each drop will slowly weaken, and eight or nine drops is the limit. ”
"There should be more than twenty drops in this bottle, which will be very beneficial to your cultivation......
"I've eaten it before, and it tastes good, it feels like nectar, but it's a little more mellow. ”
She thought about the taste, and felt a little nostalgic.
Ji Xin listened to her and said with a smile:
"The senior said it was given to us, and the rest was shared. ”
Ao Xue'er smiled and patted him on the shoulder, her eyes lit up, and said:
"It's worthy of Xiao Ji!"
Then he stretched out his finger and gestured, adding, "Leave a drop for both Aunt Lu and Aunt Tong." ”
"Hmm. ”
"You control mana carefully, you you, you, there is less here, you have to share the same amount." ”
“...... Good. ”
Ji Xin used his hands to manipulate the spell, and next to him was a girl urging, and it was her voice that was either slow or anxious.
Ji Xin smiled slightly.
Such years have never been in his past, and they cannot be replaced by anyone in his future memories, bustling streets, the pleasure of ordinary people and the red dust full of fireworks, carefree, go to see flowers, go shopping, go to listen to the stories of an afternoon with a cup of herbal tea, princely generals, heroic happiness, children's affection, and parting sorrow.
The Yuan Shuo in his memory is composed of these ordinary people.
This is the fierce place of the court family written by the historian, it is circulated in the streets, there is no day without conspiracy, the cage of mutual calculations, but in the long memory of the future, in the indescribable waves, magnificent and beautiful, when looking back, there will always be just good sunshine here, with the warm wind that the smoked people are about to get drunk, countless good scenery, good food.
There is light everywhere......
..................
The sound of the sound of the sword was cut off.
The two steel knives were cut off, and the blades fell to the ground.
Zhao Li pressed the hat, and watched the two cultivators who were going to intercept Ji Xin and Ao Xue'er fall to the ground holding their stomachs, their faces pale and unable to move because of the severe pain, and said leisurely:
"I'm sorry, but I can't let you spoil the good mood of those two kids. ”
"I reported to you the Human Division, as long as you don't move, they can still save this internal injury. ”
The two cultivators' faces turned pale.
Zhao Li smiled, turned around, and left with his back to Yuanshuo City.
"Go to rest, go to rest ......"
"Gone. ”
