Chapter 1: The Death of the Peach (I)
The rain in early spring fell quietly with a bit of chill, turning Mingchuan City into a picture of light ink.
The cyan roof of the cyclamen tavern peeks out of the peach blossoms. Pale pink petals fall on the bluestone steps in front of the tavern with a thin rain. The proprietress was lying on the counter bored, tilting her head to look at the gray sky through the gap in the peach blossoms outside the door, her fingers unconsciously fiddling with the abacus.
Mingchuan City is located on the southern edge of the Zhongyuan Continent and is under the jurisdiction of the forces of Qingyunmen. The spiritual veins are weak, the monks and mortals in the city are mixed, few outsiders come, and it has always been as quiet as a pool of stagnant water. Three major events occurred in Mingchuan City last year, and the still water in this pool was boiling and boiling, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time. The first item: The Su family produced a heavenly spirit root, a heavenly spirit root that has never been found in Mingchuan City for thousands of years. The second piece: Qin Qi, the genius of the Qin family's alien spirit root, was injured in the experience and the spirit root was damaged. The third piece: The Su family actually promised that Heavenly Spirit Root to Qin Qi.
A few months have passed, and instead of calming down, the discussion about these three things has evolved into various versions, filling the streets and alleys of Mingchuan.
No matter how wonderful the version is, there are still a few things after all, and I am tired of listening to it over and over again. The proprietress yawned, glanced at the guests in the tavern who were still gossiping about these things, and lazily turned her head to continue to look out the door.
No wonder the proprietress was bored, there were not many monks in the city, and the cyclamen tavern was run by monks, and there were always a few familiar faces going back and forth in the tavern, and these familiar faces were always talking about nothing more than a few things every day. Even the gods are tired of it.
Unlike the gossip fatigue of the proprietress at this time, several monks in the tavern were still gossiping with great interest.
"A strange spirit root and a heavenly spirit root are all from our Mingchuan. These two are geniuses like no other. If there is no such thing, maybe Mingchuan will be able to produce two Yuanying True Monarchs in a few hundred years. It's a pity, it's a pity. An old man in the late stage of Qi cultivation shook his head and sighed all over his face.
"Speaking of which, the Su family is really pitiful, the great disaster a few years ago caused the Su family to wither, and the resources in their hands over the years have gradually been swallowed up by the Wei family, and they have been maintained by relying on the protection of the Qin family. No matter how talented Miss Su Liu is, she is just a little doll after all, and it will take decades for her to grow up, let alone decades, and then the Su family may not even have scum left. The middle-aged female cultivator opposite the old man sighed and continued, "What is a genius compared to the survival of a family? β
"Those immortal cultivation families just have a lot of dirty things, and it is really unbelievable that they have lost a Heavenly Spirit Root in vain like this." A round-faced young monk threw out a sentence with some indignation. The middle-aged female cultivator shook her head and said, "If I were the head of the Su family, I would do the same." No matter how good Miss Su Liu is, she can't withstand the interests of an entire family. β
A long-faced monk sitting in the corner sneered, "It is said that the Su family is because they want to hug the Qin family's thighs and resist the encroachment of the Wei family, so they have no choice but to offer that little girl with the Heavenly Spirit Root." In fact, there is another inside story in this matter. The long-faced monk took a sip of spiritual wine, and then threw out a fresh news, "Originally, the Qin family ordered the fourth miss of the five spirit roots when they proposed marriage, but because of Miss Su's words, the head of the Su family changed his mind and took the initiative to ask to replace the marriage candidate with Miss Su Liu of the Heavenly Spirit Root. β
"What?" The round-faced monk from earlier couldn't help but exclaim.
Several of the guests in the tavern looked at the long-faced monk in unison. The proprietress also withdrew her gaze and looked at him with some interest, waiting for the follow-up of this fresh insider.
The long-faced monk was a little proud when he saw that he had successfully attracted everyone's attention, "This little Taoist friend is right, those immortal cultivation families are indeed dirty. Whether it is Miss Su Si or Miss Su Liu, they are just the nieces of the head of the Su family, and which niece can be exchanged for greater benefits, of course, will be used. After the Su family proposed to let Miss Su Liu marry into the Qin family, the Qin family increased the dowry tenfold, and promised that the Qin family's cultivation resources could be shared with the Su family. β
The old man in the late stage of Qi training was speechless when he heard it. Sharing the Qin family's cultivation resources? Today's immortal cultivation world resources are in short supply, which sect or family is not tightly holding the resources in their hands, and the Qin family is actually willing? Then he thought of something again, and sighed: "Pity the hearts of parents in the world." β
The long-faced monk nodded, "That's right, the old man of the Qin family really feels sorry for Qin Qigongzi." Even if you get a water spirit root of the Ding Furnace, after all, you can't get the Great Dao, and you can barely increase your cultivation. But for the sake of this little benefit, Old Man Qin is still willing to spend his blood. β
The middle-aged female cultivator sighed lightly and said, "The same rare genius, the circumstances are so different. Miss Su Liu is really pitiful. βγ
At this time, in a corner of the Su Mansion, the heroine of the city's gossip, Su Jinge, who was only six years old, was looking left and right with a sneaky face, and after making sure that there was no one around, she quickly approached the wall, lowered her body and climbed out of a square hole less than half a meter long and wide.
Outside the wall was a quiet alley, and Su Jinge ran hard with a pair of small short legs, with a sad and angry expression on his face that did not match his age.
Is this the opportunity to become an immortal in exchange for the good deeds of the ninth generation? Born in a small immortal cultivation family, there is no one in ten thousand water system Heavenly Spirit Root, a year later, he will become the personal disciple of Qingyunmen Yuanying Zhenjun, and he will get a big opportunity when he practices Qi Great Perfection, and his attack power is at the level of Ice Spirit Root. Everything looks pretty good. But the problem is that this world of cultivating immortals exists in a novel! She was reincarnated in a novel she had read in her previous life! This novel has a decisive heroine, a male protagonist who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and a second male protagonist who is as gentleman as jade. Of course, there are all kinds of female supporting actresses and cannon fodder. And she, Su Jinge, is the innocent and aggrieved cannon fodder of Tianzi No. 1 in this novel. When I was young, I didn't offend the female partner, and I didn't rob the male protagonist when I grew up, and when the future was bright, I was successfully instigated by the female supporting Su Jinxiu in a few words, and I looked for the female protagonist to provoke with a burning ass, and then hit the street without any suspense. It is not sad. What's even more tragic is that Su Jinge in the novel will be disfigured by another female partner Su Jinse when he was seven years old, and he can only hide behind masks and scarves for the rest of his life.
And this year, Su Jinge has grown happily to the age of five in this world.
When she finally discovered this problem slowly, thinking about how to avoid disfigurement, she was calculated by the suspected reborn female partner as the future furnace. How could she not be grieved?
Su Jinge has never been a smart person, but why Su Jinxiu had to let her marry into the Qin family, she could guess it. Usually, the children of the four spirit roots and five spirit roots of the immortal cultivation family are difficult to achieve the Great Dao, and they can only be bitter outer disciples or miscellaneous servants when they enter the sect. Therefore, the family usually allows such children to stay at home and practice. These are the children of the various families who intermarry.
According to the plot in the novel, the person sent by the Su family to the Qin family for marriage is Su Qingxue, the heroine of Wulinggen. Su Qingxue, who was unwilling, found Qin Qi, and after a long talk, Qin Qi personally came to the door to withdraw from the marriage, and said that he moved the head of the Su family, so that Su Qingxue had the opportunity to worship Qingyunmen. Since then, Qin Qi has given Su Qingxue all kinds of tips and help. It can be said that Qin Qi's identity is not only the second male, but also an important opportunity on Su Qingxue's Xiantu Avenue.
If Su Jinxiu is really reborn, then her actions are obviously to cut off Su Qingxue's chance. She, Su Jinge, obviously became the first chess piece of the female supporting role's counterattack.
Fortunately, there was Zhang Lolipi as a cover, pretending to be ignorant about this marriage contract, and half a year passed as usual, and then fled without warning.
Su Jinge couldn't help but laugh wildly, everything was really going well.
In Sufu, everything is still business as usual. No one noticed that the delicate sixth lady in the house had long since disappeared. It wasn't until dinner that the shadow of Jin Ge could not be found, so the Su family hurriedly sent someone out to look for it.
Beside the bluestone road outside Mingchuan City, peach blossoms are forested.
A green canopy carriage rushed by, bringing a whirlwind that disturbed the thin rain curtain and whipped down countless fragrant flowers.
Su Jinge was almost hung up by the carriage, stretched out his hand to pat off the muddy petals on his head and body, and secretly scolded himself: Could it be that no matter which world has a car, this is the case? I don't know how to slow down on a rainy day.
Just as he was not angry, he suddenly saw the carriage turn around, brake sharply in front of Jin Ge, and splash a splash to hit Jin Ge. As soon as the curtain moved, an eight or nine-year-old boy in brocade poked his head out and raised a loud voice: "Su Xiaoliu!" Are you--ran away from marriage? β
Su Jinge looked up at this person and found that it was an acquaintance - Wei Linchuan, the third son of the Wei family. Although the Su family has been repeatedly encroached upon by the Wei family in recent years, it still maintains the friendship of the family on the surface. This Wei Linchuan often goes to the Su family as a guest. The two of them can be regarded as familiar playmates.
Su Jinge wiped the water on his face, "Wei Xiaosan, you don't even look at the road?" β
"You haven't answered me yet, did you run away from marriage?"
Su Jinge glanced at him, didn't intend to answer him, bypassed the carriage and continued to walk forward. After walking a few steps, Wei Linchuan's voice sounded behind him, "Hey, come up." I'll take you to the docks. ββThe Su family has found out that you are missing, and they are looking for you all over the city. β
Su Jinge stopped, turned his head and asked, "Why help me?" β
Wei Linchuan sneered, "Young Master Ben is too lazy to help you, and he can't fall in love." β
Su Jinge thought about it and didn't refuse, and the coachman Ah Fu carried her into the carriage. Gallop towards the docks. It is indeed much more comfortable to ride in a carriage than to travel on your legs. It would be more comfortable to ignore Wei Linchuan's expression: "You are stupid".
"Wei Xiaosan, do you think I'm stupid?"
Wei Linchuan nodded: "Most of the day's work hasn't run to the dock yet." If you hadn't met me, you'd have waited to be caught. β
Su Jinge didn't refute, if she hadn't lost her way in the city, she would have left Mingchuan by boat. Well, it's stupid to get lost in the city, right?!
Su Jinge touched his nose and stopped talking. It was rare to see her deflated, Wei Linchuan was very happy, and just about to say something more, he suddenly felt that the carriage suddenly slammed, and then a huge inertia threw him and Jin Ge out of the carriage together. The two men fell on the wet road without any image.
