Before he got closer, Ji An shouted: "What are you doing? ”

When the old monk heard this, his whole body sank, and then he came back to his senses. Looking at Liu Xiaohua in front of him, it was clear that she was just a little girl, and it might not be that he was scared of himself. His whole body was loose, but he couldn't get up no matter how hard he struggled—his feet were still weak.

The other two monks hurriedly went up to help the old monk up.

The old monk got up, Ji Liugongzi and his party were already close, he bowed politely and was about to speak, but Ji An reprimanded: "What are you doing here?" If you don't do anything, it's all blocked here. ”

He shouted to the old monk standing in the middle of the road: "Don't give way to the son yet!" ”

Ji Liu's eyes didn't squint, and he didn't mean to talk to the old monk at all. The old monk was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly accompanied Xiao to the side. Ji Liugongzi Yu Guang didn't give him one, so he crossed him into the temple.

After the sixth prince walked over, Ji An looked him up and down and asked him, "Are you the person in charge of this temple?" ”

The old monk hurriedly said yes.

"Has Childe's resting place been arranged?"

The old monk was stunned for a moment and said, "No, just because of ......"

Ji An didn't have time to listen to him, "Okay." Interrupting him, he frowned and turned his head, and said to the guard who had negotiated with the old monk before, "What are you doing?" Since his hands and feet are inconvenient, he asked the temple to call his hands and feet to come out to do things, and the son got out of the car, but he didn't even have a place to stay, I think, the people here are too long! ”

The guard didn't dare to defend for half a sentence, bowed his head and said, "Yes." The subordinates let the people in the clan temple arrange it. ”

Ji An glanced at the old monk coldly, "Your Liu family, is this how you treat guests?" ”

The old monk glanced at Liu Xiaohua quickly.

Liu Xiaohua just looked at him with a smile, not afraid of being scolded at all, but planned to see him laugh. He couldn't guess what the relationship between Liu Xiaohua and Ji Liugongzi was for a while, so he was one hundred and twenty careful, not daring to say anything more in front of Ji An, just accompanied by a smiling face, and said repeatedly: "Please forgive me." He also asked a monk behind him to follow Ji An to listen to the errand, "He is reliable, his legs and feet are good, and everything is according to orders." ”

Ji An snorted. hurriedly chased Ji Liugongzi in.

Only the old monk and Liu Xiaohua were left, and they were still standing in place, and the pockmarks covered in blood were still lying in the snow under the steps outside the temple.

The old monk turned his head to look at Ji Liu's back, and then looked at Liu Xiaohua, who was standing in place and did not move, and suddenly laughed, gloomy and embarrassed. staring at Liu Xiaohua's gaze was also a little vicious.

At this time, Ji Liugongzi suddenly stopped.

He stood on the snow in the courtyard, as if he remembered something, looked back, and said to Liu Xiaohua who was standing outside the family temple: "Are you still standing there?" Don't hurry up yet! The tone was very impatient. But that impatience is intimate. Only to the kind of people, the tone will be used.

The handsome young man looking back in the snow, his eyebrows were very cold, his face was pale, and he was imprinted by the snow like a transparent jade person, but his lips were very gorgeous, as if he had been smeared with human blood, with a bit of demonic look. This kind of look made his slightly sharp eyebrows and eyes a little softer.

Liu Xiaohua said crisply: "Yes." And he went to him. Seeing that Liu Xiaohua was leaving, Sanzhi was so anxious that he wanted to reach out and grab her, but his hand stretched out, but he stiffened for a moment and immediately retracted again.

Ah Xin was about to follow, but Liu Xiaohua turned back to her and instructed, "Please also ask my sister to help me settle my two companions." ”

After speaking, Ben Li ignored the old monk, carried his skirt past him, and ran briskly towards Ji Liu.

Liu Xiaohua held Ji Liu's hand stretched out backwards steadily.

That hand was cold, and she held it as if it were holding ice.

Ji Liu smiled and winked at her, and asked her in a low voice, "You are using my name to oppress people again, not only should I not help you, but I should also punish you." Because you have eaten the lesson, but you still don't listen to me, and you don't learn to behave. It couldn't have been more playful, and his tone was very light, "But I still helped you." You see, have I treated you very well? Have you ever had the momentary desire to sell yourself to me as a servant? ”

Liu Xiaohua looked at his peerless appearance and couldn't help but think, no wonder these maids all said that he was good. He is cold, he treats human life like a grass, but he is ridiculous, and he is so gentle and good-looking, without the slightest, and he is very distressed.

"Could it be that the servant slave who was made with Childe, will Childe protect me like this for the rest of his life?" Liu Xiaohua asked.

Ji Liu stretched out his hand to brush the snow off her head, and said softly, "Jing will say childish things." As long as you are useful to me for a day, of course I will protect you under my wings for a day. If you're useless, why should I keep you? I am not your mother, nor your brother, nor your husband. In this world, there is never a benefit for no reason. ”

There may be no one in the world who can say such heartless and unrighteous words so gently and movingly.

Liu Xiaohua laughed when she heard this.

"Are you cold?" Ji Liu asked.

"It's not as cold as Childe." Liu Xiaohua said.

"Then you can stand here with me for a while." Ji Liu let go of the maid who was holding his left hand. After all, a lot of people around him have died, and if there are fewer people, he can't do things quickly. When the maid had withdrawn, she hurried back and forth. It is not so simple to ask the sixth son of the Ji family to settle here.

The guards of the Ji family walked in neatly. In less than a moment, they were scattered all over the clan temple.

The monks were turned around by the maids, who kept moving things out of the car and into the temple. The entire clan temple is busy because of one person.

By the time Ji Gongzi settled down, it was already the second half of the night. Some of the people in the Liu clan who got the letter and hurriedly sent people to greet them, but they all stopped outside on the grounds that 'the son was tired'. But they did not go, but all crowded under the eaves outside the temple. From the courtyard, you can see the many domestic servants brought by the Liu family outside, and the windproof lanterns carried by them illuminate the snow outside. It's like daytime.

Liu Xiaohua withdrew from Ji Liu's sleeping room and saw Sanzhi standing outside. Because Ji Liu's eaves were not approached, she could only wait in the yard, and she didn't know how long she had been standing, with a thick layer of snow on her shoulders.

When she saw Liu Xiaohua, she immediately greeted her, and Liu Xiaohua saw that she was limping and hurriedly supported her. "What are you doing standing here?"

"Nothing." Sanzhi hurriedly said. "The marijuana took the medicine and fell asleep, and I was alone in the house and scared."

Liu Xiaohua helped her and went to the house assigned to them to stay.

Sanzhi didn't take the initiative to speak all the way. Her eyes were a little glazed. It's no longer as flexible as it used to be. Liu Xiaohua asked Mazi's injury clearly, and seeing that she was still like this, Yu Xin couldn't bear to say: "You have an injury on your leg, don't walk around, what should you do if you are lame when the time comes?" ”

Saneda listened, but suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Liu Xiaohua stopped with her.

Sanzhi stood there with his head bowed and muttered, "I'm just lame, but ......"

"But what?" Liu Xiaohua patted the snow off her shoulders for her, "Aren't you cold?" Standing there and not knowing how to pat the snow? ”

Sanzhi hugged her tightly, as if he had exhausted all his strength. Her voice was very cold, without any emotion. "I was sitting in the car, talking to the sister, but I just lowered my head and raised it again. Half of her head was gone, all at once. It's just a blink of an eye. It's true. I looked to the ground, and the half of my head was right in front of my heels. One eye, staring at me. …… I want to run, but I'm afraid you won't be able to find me when you come back...... Just sitting in the car and waiting... Wait. She was only half of her head, but she kept staring at me. I didn't dare to go around, but I was afraid of ............."

She used to cry so much. But this time she didn't shed a single tear. Just keep saying, "She's just staring at me like that." "It's like I'm obsessed.

She didn't know how long she had been holding back these words, but as soon as she said them, she went on and on, over and over again.

Liu Xiaohua didn't interrupt her, and she was a little sad when she heard it. She must have been scared. The outstretched hands slowly put on the back of the three branches, "Okay, it's all over." Even if that sister becomes a ghost, she will only chase after those who killed her, you didn't do anything bad, don't be afraid. ”

Sanzhi bit his lip stubbornly, and after a while, shook his head and said, "I hurt someone." I hurt pockmarks, and you almost got bad luck with me. ”

Liu Xiaohua couldn't say anything more, so she comforted: "You don't know that the old monk is such a person, even a living bodhisattva, and he will be angry with him." He who does not know is not guilty. ”

Sanzhi didn't respond, just hugged Liu Xiaohua, and let go of his hand after a while. His expression calmed down a lot. Ask her, "Do you think that old monk will come to us again?" ”

"Probably not." In order to reassure her, Liu Xiaohua reassured, "He is afraid of the Ji family." ”

"Will you go to the Himefu to work?" Mieda immediately looked at her.

Liu Xiaohua looked left and right to make sure that there was no one, so she whispered, "No." "Don't shy away from her" Don't have such thoughts. Don't look at the sixth son, it seems that he treats me well, but he is very difficult to get along with and moody. I am afraid that I will not be able to live with him, and the money I earn will not be of any use. ”

Sanzhi nodded, not asking any more questions. She didn't believe that those outsiders were talking nonsense, Ah Hua said it was not good, it must be bad.

The two of them returned to the house, and the hemp seeds were still asleep. The blood stains on his body had been cleaned, and the whole room smelled of dregs. Ah Xin was dozing off by the hearth, and when he saw them coming in, he glanced at Sanzhi and said with a smile, "When I came in, the fire in the medicine stove was going to be extinguished." ”

Sanzhi was embarrassed, hung his head and muttered something, maybe to defend himself, but no one could hear the low voice. Seeing her like this, Ah Xin didn't mean to say anything more, looked at Liu Xiaohua and asked, "Do you want to add a charcoal basin to the little lady?" This room is full of fire, and the kang is not very warm. ”

Liu Xiaohua instructed her just now, but she actually embarrassed her. But now she has no sign of being angry, and she is still as kind as before, which makes Liu Xiaohua a little embarrassed, "Did that old monk embarrass you?" ”

"How dare he embarrass me." Ah Xin grinned, "People like him can be seen everywhere, I don't take him seriously." He is just putting on a show of authority before you. ”

Saying that, she said to Liu Xiaohua very seriously, "At first, I didn't want to stand up for you, but I am the sixth son's person." It's just for the little lady to call. If the little lady doesn't speak, I can't speak. If I open my mouth, it will be on behalf of the Ji family for the little lady. I'm just a subordinate, without the sixth son, where can I have such a face? Although the sixth prince is no better, he hates others to play prestige with him, and we will never dare to violate this precept. Later, the little lady told me to do things, and it was different. As long as the son didn't say no at the time, I could help the little lady grow her face. ”

After speaking, she sighed and said to Liu Xiaohua, "Little lady, don't think too much. ”

Liu Xiaohua never expected her to explain to herself so directly, so much so that she had a good impression of her, and hurriedly said, "I understand." I will never blame my sister. After speaking, he added, "I'm afraid that my sister will think that I am playing prestige with my sister, and I know that my sister doesn't think so, so I am relieved." ”

Before the matter of three branches, Liu Xiaohua was a little reflective of herself.

If Sanzhi was dissuaded from pointing at others and laughing at that time, she didn't hit Sanzhi's hand, but told Sanzhi well, and chose a less aggressive way, Sanzhi would not be unhappy in her heart. Later, when I reasoned, I paid attention to the method, and it might not be so much of a problem.

In the final analysis, there are still reasons for her own misconduct.

After all, she didn't have much accumulation in her previous life, and those skills in dealing with things are all observing others learning and selling, although it is not easy to be like this, but there are always things that are not thoughtful. Little by little, she learned to change. She thinks clearly, if she wants to survive in this world, she must be able to learn a little is a little, and every inch of land must be contested. Constantly improve yourself to have a better chance of winning.

Ah Xin listened to Liu Xiaohua's words, and was disapproving: "As long as the words are spoken, it's fine." We are all at ease. ”

The three of them were tired, and the moment they fell on the kang, Liu Xiaohua felt that the happiest thing in life was nothing more than this, and let out a long breath, really feeling that it would be good to be so comfortable for the rest of her life. Ah Xin, who was sleeping next to her, also exhaled a long breath, and the two of them looked at each other at the same time, so that they couldn't help but look at each other and smile.

Liu Xiaohua arched in the quilt and asked, "Sister Ah Xin has seen a lot of the world around the sixth son, right?" Tell us about it, and let us learn a long time. ”

Seeing that they were all asleep, Ah Xin blew out the lamp, and said in a lazy voice, "I have seen a lot of knowledge, and I am also frightened." What do you want to hear? ”

Sanzhi suddenly spoke, "Sister, let's talk about cultivating the Tao." ”

This is exactly what Liu Xiaohua wants to know.

Sanzhi reached over and shook Liu Xiaohua's hand in the quilt. As if reminding Liu Xiaohua to seize the opportunity. Find out as much as you can. Liu Xiaohua's heart warmed, and she also held her hand silently.

"Cultivation." Ah Xin smiled, "Everyone says that cultivation depends on talent, but it's not. How many gifted people have disappeared into the world silently? I can't count them. Many died in accidents while cultivating, many went out to practice and never came back, and many died at the hands of their fellow disciples. ”

As he spoke, Ah Xin's tone became stern, "I follow Gongzi, and what I see the most is the mutual conflict between the same sect and the same sect. There are senior brothers who turn their faces in order to compete for favor, there are apprentices who want the master's exercises and kill the master regardless of the feelings of the master and apprentice, and there are also masters who find the firstborn to eat the apprentice in order to get the apprentice's cultivation. If you want me to say, Xiu Xian asked, the most important thing is not how talented you are, but to worship a good teacher. Of course, it is good for Master to have ability, but more importantly, he must have a conscience and be fair and strict. The so-called, the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, the master is not a good person and is confused, so what does the same door look like? Not to mention cultivating immortals, with these people, how many days can you live? ”

"Among those sects, which immortal families have a conscience, and are fair and strict?" Liu Xiaohua asked.

"This" Ah Xin thought for a while and said, "If you really want to talk about it, only Liu Yourong of the Evergreen Sect will be there." ”

Liu Xiaohua silently read those three words in her heart.

"Do you know Gillian Lin?" Ah Xin asked.

"I heard that she became an immortal." Liu Xiaohua has heard this name several times. The first time I heard it was in the mountains, and Chen talked about it. Later, Ji Liu also mentioned it again.

"She is worshipping under Liu Yourong's door." Ah Xin said, "Other sects also have well-known Immortal Venerables, but if you want me to say, just because those Immortal Venerables have not produced disciples who can ascend to immortals, it means that they are not as reliable as Liu Yourong." ”

Saying that, Ah Xin said again: "Bah...... Speaking of which, he is still from your Liu family. Don't you know him? The last time someone from the Liu family came to see Gongzi, it seemed that Liu Yourong was called the fourth uncle. ”

"Ahh Fourth uncle! Sanzhi said excitedly: "Those who recognize it are those who recognize it, and those who recognize it belong to our southern four branches." It turns out that the fourth uncle's name is Liu Yourong. He shook Liu Xiaohua's hand vigorously, "Ah Hua, if only you could worship the fourth uncle as a teacher!" ”

Ah Xin smiled: "Then it depends on whether she has this blessing." Liu Yourong used to accept apprentices, and the rules were very big. Now even more. After all, when I'm old, my body can't stand anymore. I don't want to bring too many apprentices to suffer. ”

"Has the fourth uncle lived for a long time?" Mieda asked.

"Do you think, when did Lin Gillian become an immortal? It's been a thousand years. At that time, Liu Yourong was an immortal. How old does he have to live? ”

Liu Xiaohua couldn't help but be speechless, "Millennium!" ”

"There are a few more like him. Not uncommon. Ah Xin disagreed.

Liu Xiaohua was thinking that if she wanted to cultivate the Tao, she must worship this person as a teacher.

Next, Ah Xin spoke some side words in detail.

Sanzhi asked curiously, "I heard that the people who have entered the cultivation sect are very powerful, and they dare not offend. But today I watched that old monk being beaten down by me, so that I didn't have the strength to fight back at all......"

Ah Xin Zhengse said: "The people in these clan temples, even if they are powerful, they are not powerful. They use charms, and that's killing without blood. In the future, you should also be careful not to provoke these people. They will kill you silently, like pinching a little chicken. It is precisely because of this ability that people of all ethnic groups have set up clan temples for them. ”

"But if it's so powerful, even if we're not in front of us, he can kill us. We've been out for so long, how can we're all right? ”

Ah Xin said patiently: "Charms are not such things as they can harm people in vain, at least you have to know some things about you, or take something from you, even if it is a strand of hair, it is enough to kill you." You've been fine before, probably because he didn't find a chance. ”

Sanzhi didn't ask any more.

Next, Ah Xin was pestered by Liu Xiaohua to talk about some things about the fairy family.

Wait until one of the two people is tired of talking, the other is about to fall asleep after listening, and Sanzhi is still with his eyes open. She stared at the shadows of the beams and walls, not knowing what she was thinking. Liu Xiaohua was in a daze, stretched out her hand to cover her eyes, "Sleep." Tomorrow and tomorrow. ”

Sanzhi held her hand and asked in a low voice, "Ah Hua, are you afraid?" ”

Liu Xiaohua was too sleepy and muttered, "Don't be afraid. It's okay. Sleep."

**

"Ah Hua! Jen. ”

Liu Xiaohua slept soundly and heard someone calling herself. I opened my eyes in a daze and saw Sanzhi standing in front of the kang. It wasn't yet dawn outside, and she didn't sleep but stood neatly dressed underneath.

"Why don't you sleep?" Liu Xiaohua reached out and touched her hand, ice. Wet. Through the snow outside, she could only barely see that it was Sanzhi, but she didn't know how she wet her hands, "You went to play in the snow?" ”

"Here's for you." Sanzhi stuffed the things in his hand into Liu Xiaohua's hand.

"What?" Liu Xiaohua rubbed her eyes. I touched the thing in my hand and looked at the snow, and it turned out to be two money. I don't know what is pasted on it, it's a little dirty, it feels like syrup, and it's a little sticky. Seem...... Still a little fishy? …………

Liu Xiaohua woke up suddenly.

She quickly got up, looked back to see that Ah Xin and Mazi were still asleep, pulled Sanzhi to the outside of the house, and hurriedly took her hands to look.

When I looked at it, I couldn't help but tremble in my heart.

Blood............

"What's going on?" Liu Xiaohua lowered her voice and asked, "Are you running around outside, and the wound on your leg is cracked?" ”

Sanzhi's face was stiff, as if he had just seen a ghost, and he shook his head, "You don't care about me." Just stuff the two money to her, "You are a capable person, you have good talents, and you have a great future in the future." It's not a lot of money, but it's my heart. Although we are not sisters, I have always treated you like a sister. ”

Liu Xiaohua hurriedly said: "You have no head or tail, how can you say this!" ”

"Leave it alone. None of your business. Sanzhi said, shook off her hand and turned her head to leave.

Liu Xiaohua stretched out her hand and pulled her, but she couldn't hold it. hurriedly ran up, grabbed her with both hands, and said angrily, "What the hell are you doing!" Not yet, to be honest. There is no reason why the affairs of the world can be walked away. ”
