Chapter 9: The Sun Never Sets on the Mountains
The person who came was Steward Xu, and there was a beautiful young woman in palace clothes behind him, and Steward Xu owed a debt, so that the people behind him walked in first, and then followed.
"Chen Xin, the head of the family has something to go out, this is the housemother of the Xu Mansion, what do you have to do, explain it to the master. Steward Xu specially introduced.
Chen Xin hurriedly stood up, not daring to make a mistake, her grandmother was seventy or eighty years old, although this beautiful young woman looked only in her thirties, but after learning about the monk's appearance, Chen Xin also understood that this thirty-year-old young woman must be at least seventy or eighty years old. Under the guidance of the eyes of the housewife of the Xu Mansion, the housekeeper Xu withdrew from the house and closed the door, the eyes of the housewife of the Xu Mansion were sharp, and she looked Chen Xin up and down, I don't know if it was Chen Xin's illusion, he always felt that the housewife of the Xu Mansion seemed to be hostile to him.
"Do you know, this is the Xu Mansion, if you dare to lie, don't say that you can't get out of the gate of the Xu Mansion, even if you can't get out of this house, show me the jade pendant. ”
This sharp tone made Chen Xin break out in a cold sweat, and the words of the housewife of the Xu Mansion seemed to be a little hostile, "It won't be grandma's enemy," Chen Xin thought to himself, he still honestly took out the jade pendant, offered it with both hands, and after taking the jade pendant, there was a trace of panic in the eyes of the housewife of the Xu Mansion, she forcibly calmed her mind, and carefully rubbed the jade pendant for a long time before she said slowly: "Where is your grandmother Xu Ruyan now." ”
This subtle expression did not escape Chen Xin's eyes.
He replied respectfully: "Mrs. Xu, my grandmother passed away decades ago, and she passed on this jade pendant before she died, saying that she could use this jade pendant to exchange for the status of a disciple of the Xu Mansion," Chen Xin explained his intentions.
"Passed away, passed away," Mrs. Xu muttered to herself, as if she hadn't heard Chen Xin's words, she was silent for a while, she suddenly smiled, and her tone changed, "So that's the case, what's so difficult about this, you can go to the outer courtyard to report now, and become an outer disciple first." After finishing speaking, he touched Chen Xin's jade pendant.
"I am a body of stone, I have tested it by the Great Elder of the Li Mansion before, and I can't cultivate," Chen Xin said embarrassedly, looking at Mrs. Xu expectantly.
Mrs. Xu looked at Chen Xin dumbfounded, and then said for a moment, "The body of the stone? is actually a body of stone that is rare to see in a hundred years." ”
Xu Ruyan seemed to be silent in disbelief for a moment, and suddenly his tone changed:
"Since the Great Elder of the Li Mansion has said so, then there is nothing I can do, but since I am the descendant of Xu Ruyan, I can give you thousands of acres of fertile land to ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life, hehe. It was not difficult for Chen Xin to hear the perfunctory meaning in Mrs. Xu's words, and he didn't want to help him at all, although Chen Xin had already thought of this result, and he couldn't help but feel sad at the moment.
"Thank you Madame for your kindness, it seems that I am destined to have no chance to cultivate in this life, and there is no need for a good field, I have suffered since I was a child, and I am not used to a life without worrying about food and clothing, so I will leave here, and I will be disturbed. "Chen Xin wants to go back to Yupei and is about to leave the Xu family, when he is about to go out.
Mrs. Xu said loudly: "Hehe, it seems that there are rare treasures in the Sunset Mountain Range recently, the four major families of Luohu City, and various sects have sent monks, you can go inside to try, maybe you are lucky to find some treasures, go to the sect to change a disciple quota, maybe you can cure you." ”
He paused for a moment, and left the Xu family without looking back, but he put these words in his heart, the sun does not set on the mountain range, of course he knows what the place is, he has been in Luohu City for two months, he also knows some things about cultivation, the sun does not set mountain range is an extremely dangerous place, which is full of all kinds of demon beasts.
Human beings can cultivate, demon beasts can also cultivate, the level of demon beast cultivation is divided into, one to ten layers, one or two layers are equivalent to the monks in the Qi refining period, the third, fourth and fifth layers are the foundation building period, and the sixth or seventh layer is the enlightenment period, the bloodline of the demon beast is strong, the skin is rough and the flesh is thick, and the knife is not rotten, so the demon beast of the same cultivation is several times stronger than the monk, in the Li Mansion, the outer disciples and scattered cultivators, lack of resources, often go to the outer layer of the mountain range where the sun never sets to hunt demon beasts, looking for medicinal herbs, in exchange for contribution points, most of the treasure armor and pills used by daily monks are hunted from demon beasts.
Chen Xin heard that these outer disciples hunted demon beasts, and in January, there were only one or two at most, and there was often news of the death of the disciples. This Mrs. Xu didn't know what her intentions were, Chen Xin gritted her teeth, even if she knew that Mrs. Xu had bad intentions, but this might be an opportunity for him: "Even if it is a cliff, as long as there is a slight chance, I will give it a try!"
At this time, Mrs. Xu, who was still in the reception hall, laughed contemptuously: "Xu Ruyan, I didn't expect you to die decades ago, Xu Liang, the senior sister Xu you thought about in your heart had already married, and she died decades ago."
"His grandson is still a stone body, you fell in love with her at the beginning, and even the jade pendant of the descendant disciple gave you an heirloom, heh! After so many years, don't think that I don't know that you have been looking for her, but God still helps me. "The Xu Liang in Mrs. Xu's mouth is the lord of the Xu Mansion.
As soon as he returned to the house, he heard that Li Xin'er took ten guards, the maid Cailian, and some messenger disciples from Qiangongfang, went to the Sunset Mountain Range, and had been walking for an hour.
"It's okay, I also happened to enter the Sunset Mountains, this time, maybe I will never come back, but unfortunately I just had a warm home. ”
Chen Xin wrote a letter and handed it to the guards who were promoted by Chen Dong last time, and instructed the guards to give the letter to Chen Dong if he couldn't come back, and if he could come back, the letter would naturally be stopped. Chen Xin exchanged the contribution points he had obtained in the Li Mansion in the past two months for some self-defense powder, and a short sword that sharpened iron like clay, prepared dry food, and set off to chase Li Xin'er.
After walking non-stop for three hours, the sky was getting dark, Chen Xin finally saw the convoy in front of him, the flag fluttering on the convoy, embroidered with a golden feather, was the exclusive logo of the Li Mansion, "Whew, finally caught up,"
Li Xin'er traveled this time, driving the Xuangang carriage, which was drawn by four iron-maned carriages, and the body was made of Xuangang, even if she encountered a first-class demon beast, she also had enough defense, this kind of treasure was only equipped by the lord of the Li Mansion, and Li Xin'er's carriage was also the thing of the lord of the mansion.
