22. Chapter XXII
The Shuifeng River is the largest of all the rivers that run through Jiushui City. The upper reaches of this river are very prosperous, and from the level of mortals, it is the capital of a certain country, and from the level of monks, there are several great families of cultivators. Along this river, it is really prosperous all the way, all the way to the grand scene. The Spring Breeze Pavilion is built near the river, just as the girl in pink said before, all the people who are entertained every day are brightly dressed people.
It's good to take the apprentices to the Spring Breeze Pavilion to see the world, and the ancestor still has a scale in his heart.
He happily led a few apprentices out of the Zuihuan Building. The turtle who had entertained them earlier nodded and sent them to the door. The ancestor of the flower played together, so he took out a small ingot of silver and threw it into the arms of the turtle prince, saying: "This is not worth anything, you can take it to buy wine and drink." ”
The purchasing power of silver in this era was quite impressive. This small ingot of silver is about two taels, which is not less, and for Gui Gong, it is simply a windfall! After the ancestor led the children away, the turtle couldn't wait to take a bite of the silver. Oh my boys, it's really silver! Gui Gong was happy in his heart, and hurriedly stuffed the silver into his arms, and the expression on his face became even more obscene.
When the turtle closed the door and walked back to the hall to sit down, he heard the sound of chattering from the second floor. The girls didn't dare to say anything in front of the ancestor who cherished the flowers, and now that the ancestor had even gone away with his apprentices, they finally dared to discuss.
"Pinch me, I still feel like I'm dreaming!"
"When I was a child, I always heard that there were immortals in that mountain, who thought that I would be lucky enough to meet them!"
"I just thought it was ridiculous for the man to bring a few children to us. Thinking about it now, the immortal's move can't be said to have a deep meaning. By the way, he told us to tell us about the strange things going around...... Immortals wouldn't just come here for the strange things in the Spring Breeze Pavilion, right? ”
"It must be so! It must be so! With the help of the immortals, I just hope that the peony can enter the reincarnation safely, and don't suffer anymore. ”
"No wonder those children look so cute, they are all fairies and fairies, naturally smarter than ordinary children!"
"Keep your voice quiet...... Immortals can see and hear everywhere, and even if they are gone, they will definitely be able to hear what we are saying. ”
"Don't say it, don't say it, let's go and redeem this immortal stone for silver, don't let down the painstaking efforts of the immortals."
……
Turtle Gong felt that he could understand every word, but it was as if he didn't understand anything. He couldn't help but pluck out his ears, suddenly slapped his thigh, and ran towards the gate. On the street outside the door, there are only prostitutes who have spent the night in brothels, and are now yawning home. Turtle Gong was extremely frustrated, and only felt as if he had missed a great opportunity.
Everyone else can get the immortal stone, but he only got a silver ingot, and he would have been entertained if he knew it...... Turtle Gong slapped himself in the mouth hatefully, why is he so blind! But what's the use of being upset now! Gu Gong couldn't help but squat down at the door.
The self-slapping mouth just now was a little heavy, and the turtle man rubbed his cheeks in distress again, and sighed deeply again.
Wait, he's got some silver! This is silver that has been stained with fairy energy!
The turtle man quickly took out the silver from his clothes and held it in his hand to look at it. The silver still bears the marks of his teeth.
From now on, it will be an heirloom, and it will have to be passed down from generation to generation! When Gui Gong thought of this, he was happy again.
Here, the ancestor of Xihua led a few apprentices to the flower street in Linjiang. Even during the day, the street is quite lively. However, there are really no ordinary girls on this street, let alone children, and all men come and go.
Xihua Ancestor didn't feel anything wrong, and continued to lead the apprentices forward.
When he could see the signboard of the Spring Breeze Pavilion in the distance, the footsteps of the ancestor of the cherished flowers stopped.
"Master, is there something wrong over there?" Bu Qingshan asked.
The world in the eyes of a monk is not the same as the world in the eyes of mortals.
The world in the eyes of a high-ranking monk is also different from the world in the eyes of a low-ranking monk.
Bu Qingshan felt that the Spring Breeze Pavilion didn't look right, which was due to his perception of the qi of heaven and earth as a Qi refining period cultivator.
However, the Ancestor of the Cherished Flower could directly see that the Spring Breeze Pavilion was shrouded in an ominous aura. He was already a Yuanying Cultivator, and he had naturally seen some big scenes over the years, but he still couldn't help frowning now, only feeling that the situation in front of him was very wrong.
Bu Qingshan is the best at observing words and feelings, and when he saw that his master's face was heavy, he asked, "Master, is it very tricky?" ”
"Not tricky. This is supposed to be the work of the lowest demons. Xihua Ancestor said, but his brows did not loosen because of this.
Bu Qingshan and Youqin Qingruo glanced at each other. Both of them subconsciously took a step closer to the Ancestor of Xihua, and the reason why they made such a move was not because they were afraid. It's just that if the problem of Chunfeng Pavilion is really strict, then they can't at least drag down Master.
The Ancestor of Xihua also had the heart to explain to the apprentices, so he said: "We can check the luck of the Spring Breeze Pavilion when we stand here, and there is indeed an evil demon there." If it's just this demon, there's nothing to worry about, just one or two disciples in the Qi refining period and foundation building period can solve it. ”
"Could it be that there is something else?" Bu Qingshan asked.
Xihua Ancestor shook his head: "On the contrary, it is precisely because there is nothing that it looks weird. ”
Under normal circumstances, if there is an evil cult in a place, then the local monks will be able to detect it if they pay close attention. The ominous smell of the demon is like the fishy smell of a mouse, which a hunter cat can definitely smell. However, now there were demons at work in the Spring Breeze Pavilion, but until the Ancestor of Xihua stepped onto this street, he didn't even feel anything.
"It's not just me...... There is a lack of awareness of this. This time, it was Zhengyang who led your senior brother and his party down the mountain, he was careful and cautious, if he had discovered the evil demons here early on, he would not have given them a chance to stay until today. "Cherish the flower ancestor said.
Zhengyang Ancestor is also an elder in the sect, in charge of Xing Yunfeng, and is in charge of punishment and rewards in the Demon Gate. This time, it was his turn to lead Shen Qing's group down the mountain for extracurricular practice. His duty is to protect, after all, the Royal Demon Sect looks down on new disciples. According to the ancestor of Xihua, those people in Shen Qingshang lived in the Zuihuan Building (but maybe they used some kind of trick, so the mortals in the building didn't know this).
Zuihuan Tower is not far from the Chunfeng Pavilion, Elder Zhengyang has the divine sense of the Yuan Infant Ancestor, it is said that he should have noticed that there are evil demons in the Chunfeng Pavilion a long time ago, and in order to ensure the safety of the little disciples, he should have solved this matter smoothly. But the demons of the Spring Breeze Pavilion have remained until now, which shows that perhaps the Zhengyang Ancestor is also the same as the Cherished Flower Ancestor, and he can't detect anything unusual before he sees the Spring Breeze Pavilion with his own eyes.
"Here's the problem, low-level demons shouldn't have such powerful hidden abilities. But as it turns out, they seem to have a way of shielding our consciousness. "Cherish the flower ancestor said. So, what was obviously a very simple question now seems to be not simple at all.
However, the ancestor of Xihua is not afraid of this. He just thought it was strange. As a monk in the infancy stage, he naturally has some means to save his life, so he has nothing to scruple about. After making sure that the three apprentices were protected by himself, he continued to walk towards the Spring Breeze Pavilion.
When he was about to arrive at the Spring Breeze Pavilion, the kitten who had been staying in Bu Qingshan's arms suddenly broke free from the master's arms and ran all the way towards the Spring Breeze Pavilion. It seemed to be very anxious, knowing that Bu Qingshan was also going that way, but it was not willing to wait even for this little time.
The whole thing happened so suddenly, that the little short legs of Bu Qingshan couldn't outrun the kitten's four legs at all.
Because he was worried about his kitten, Bu Qingshan subconsciously chased two steps forward, then stopped suddenly, turned back to the ancestor of Xihua and shouted: "Master, help me stop the kitten!" It doesn't have any skills, so it rushes up like this, and it's not enough to be a snack for the demons......"
It's not that Bu Qingshan looks down on the kitten, it's really that the kitten's appearance has been quite useless.
The ancestor of Xihua had seen earlier that there was a problem with the kitten's spirit, and it was a big problem. He was very curious about the origin of the kitten, but he had no clue. (If it was a small problem, he would have already started to treat the kitten, so he is also the ancestor of the baby.) )
So, after seeing the kitten's expression at the moment, the ancestor of Xihua was not so anxious as Bu Qingshan.
He wrapped his long sleeves, protected all three apprentices in his arms, and directly shrunk into inches and appeared in front of the gate of the Spring Breeze Pavilion.
However, the ancestor did not stop the kitten's behavior. He wanted to see what the kitten would do.
If something really happens by then, it will be too late for the ancestor to take action again.
Not to mention Bu Qingshan and Cherishing Flower Ancestor, in fact, even the Demon Emperor himself didn't understand what his body wanted to do.
Kittens only have instincts, and they don't need to think about the cause and effect when doing things, and they don't need to find many reasons for themselves.
It wanted to do it, and naturally it did it.
The Demon Emperor looked at the kitten expressionlessly.
The kitten stretched out his paws and slapped hard in front of the gate of the Spring Breeze Pavilion, which was very domineering. The mist that shrouded the Spring Breeze Pavilion (invisible to mortals) slowly closed up, and soon gathered into a small ball. And the ball stays in front of the kitten.
These yin mist can be said to be the lower demons themselves, after all, that kind of thing has always had no specific form.
The fog decreases rapidly, and the color of the globules gradually deepens. Eventually, all the fog compresses into a small ball.
The kitten's face finally showed an expression that could be called satisfied.
Then, it swallowed the little black ball in one gulp.
Bu Qingshan was taken aback. As a daddy, his face completely darkened: "Eating indiscriminately will cause diarrhea!" ”
