Chapter 13: The Secret of the Treasure Pot
The carved eaves reflect the sun, and the painting is flying clouds. The blue curtain is low and the window is low, and the green curtain is high on the door. At this time, it was just noon, and the guests who came to Juxian Restaurant for dinner lined up outside the restaurant, and the dining room on the first floor was very lively. Down the wooden staircase was a woman, dressed in a lilac satin robe and a snow-white fox fur. The black hair is as smooth as a waterfall, casually draped behind the shoulders, the face is like a silver plate, the eyes are like the bright moon, the willow eyebrows are green and mist, and the muscles and bones are moist. It is really clear water out of hibiscus, and it is natural to carve and decorate. The people downstairs couldn't help but sigh secretly, such a beautiful woman is natural, I don't know which family's daughter it is.
Ling Huxuan took a closer look, but found that the woman was Su Su. Although she has lost a lot of weight now, her eyebrows are still the same.
"Susu, if you don't see you all night, you've lost so much weight? Tsk tsk, this speed is amazing, how did you lose weight? But then again, with your original stout body, it's really ...... to be so thin" Ling Huxuan somehow, now when he sees Su Su, he wants to tease her, which is not at all like his indifferent character.
Before he could finish his sentence, he was cut off by another voice. Ling Hu Xuan looked over, and sure enough, it was the cold wind. Through his observations during this time, he found that the cold wind seemed to be infatuated with Su Su, and Su Su seemed to be lukewarm to the cold and cold wind.
"Susu, don't listen to him, you have always been beautiful in my eyes. But I also think you're thin, your face isn't very good, it's scary, are you sick? Is there anything wrong with it? Leng Hanfeng walked quickly in front of Su Su and said with a worried face. After eating a few souls, Cold Wind is now more solid. He likes to walk without floating, and uses ghost power to make shadows behind him. Now except for Su Su and his party, ordinary people can't tell that he is not a person.
"It's okay, I'm fine. It's just that you've lost a little weight, don't you want to be so exaggerated. Su Su helplessly bypassed the cold wind, and said to Ling Huxuan angrily, "I said Linghu Xuan, what does it matter to you whether Miss Ben is thin or not?" What's wrong with me being fat? I'd love to. ”
Ling Huxuan touched his nose, for the first time he felt good about arguing with a woman, although there were a lot of women who were gentle like water in front of him, he actually felt that Su Su was like a choking little pepper, which was very special, at least he liked it. Ling Hu Xuan was taken aback, could it be that he had a tendency to be abused? He secretly said in his heart, no, he wouldn't like this fat woman, he has always only admired petite and lovely weak women, such as his cousin, or Miss Yun's family, it must have been an illusion just now.
"Ahem, it's this hour, let's go eat something, my family invites top chefs, and those signature dishes are a must." Ling Huxuan changed the topic, but the signature dishes of Juxian Restaurant are indeed extremely delicious, so the business in the store is also very hot.
In his opinion, Su Su is practicing some kind of light-body technique, and there are many beauty-loving women in Mulan, even if they are not monks, they will practice similar light-weight exercises, just now they were just playing tricks on her.
"Okay, what are you waiting for, tell them to serve the food." When Su Su heard that there was something delicious, the gluttonous worm was hooked out, and instantly put behind what Ling Huxuan had just said about her. Although she has learned the art of valley reclamation, she can't change her love for food.
Su Su sat down at the table by the window, and Ling Hu Xuan sat down on Su Su's left, and Han Hanfeng, who didn't need to eat, also rubbed Su Su's right and sat down.
After a while, the second child in the store, Ah Ping, came to serve the food. A series of fragrant dishes were served to the table, and the whole table was quickly filled.
"Eight Treasures Wild Duck", "Bergamot Golden Roll", "Drunken Chicken", "Tai Chi Prawns", "Lychee Meat", Sweet and Sour Lotus Root, Osmanthus Sauce Chicken, Mille-Feuille Steamed Cake, as well as "Crispy Apple" and "Heyi Cake", all stimulate Su Su's appetite, she looked at the dazzling array of dishes, holding chopsticks and not knowing which dish to start eating, it looked very good.
"Susu, you try this first, this is one of the signature dishes." Ling Huxuan sandwiched a piece of osmanthus sauce chicken and put it in Su Su's bowl.
Su Su was not polite, picked up the piece of chicken and began to feast. She took a bite of it, only to feel the fragrance overflowing, and there was an elegant and fresh fragrance of osmanthus in her mouth and nose, and the chicken was tender and juicy, which made her have an endless aftertaste, which was almost the same as the delicious food in her carry-on space.
"Well, it's delicious~, you all eat it. Oh, you don't eat these in the cold wind. Linghuxuan, why don't you eat it? Su Su buried his head in eating for a while, only to realize that he was eating, and the person and ghost next to him were sitting peacefully.
"I'm a monk, and I rarely eat these earthly meals, so you eat more." Ling Hu Xuan smiled and said that since he was five years old and tested that he had the dual abilities of longitudinal wind and water control, he was taken into the door by the head of the Nine Heavens Sect, Feng Wuxi, and he had already practiced the Gu Splitting Technique.
"Oh, you know, don't be so rigid, there are so many delicacies and delicacies, you should enjoy them. Come on, eat a little. After Su Su finished speaking, he put a shrimp in his bowl for Ling Huxuan.
The corners of Ling Huxuan's mouth were slightly raised, and he was in a good mood, and after thanking Su Su, he slowly ate it, and his movements were extremely elegant.
"Susu, if you give him vegetables, I want it too." Leng Hanfeng looked at Su Su with resentful eyes on the side, and said dissatisfiedly.
Su Su suddenly felt funny, this Ah Piao still needs to eat? Didn't he just eat souls? At least that's what she saw.
"Even if you don't look so vague now, I'll give you food, can you eat it? Be nice, don't make a fuss. Su Su said softly, she couldn't bear to hurt the cold wind's glass heart, thinking about it, he was quite pitiful, so many delicious and delicious things couldn't be tasted.
"......" was speechless by the cold wind, who made him do this.
"By the way, Ling Huxuan, what about Aunt Niu? Why didn't I see it? Su Su wiped the oil from his mouth, looked at Ling Huxuan and asked with a puzzled face. In the hall just now, I didn't seem to see a single Danyang villager.
"Don't worry, I asked Uncle Fu to settle them, the Linghu family has a farm on the outskirts of Bingyu Town, and the villagers of Danyang are there now. Let them work with the people in the village first, and then stay if they are used to it, and if they don't want to stay long, they can wait until they have earned enough money through labor before going elsewhere. In this way, you only need to help them pay for yesterday's room and board and winter clothing. After Ling Huxuan finished speaking, he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
"No problem, how much is the cost of room and board for a day? I'll write you an IOU later. After listening to Ling Huxuan, Su Su felt that Ling Huxuan was really a good person, and she thought that Ling Huxuan would knock him out.
"It's not much, just one hundred and eighty Star Luo Gold Coins." Ling Hu Xuan said indifferently.
"One hundred and eighty Star Luo Gold Coins? Cold wind, I don't know how much, I don't remember a lot of things since the amnesia. Su Su weakly turned to Leng Hanfeng and said.
"I don't know now, I only know that more than 3,000 years ago, it was converted like this, one Star Luo gold coin can be exchanged for ten Star Luo silver coins, one Star Luo silver coin can be exchanged for ten Star Luo copper coins, one Star Luo copper coin can be exchanged for ten Star Luo iron coins, and one Star Luo iron coin can buy ten big meat buns, and the Star Luo coin is common in the entire Star Luo Continent." Leng Hanfeng said, he remembered that Su Su used to like to eat meat buns the most.
"Well, now the Star Luo Continent still uses Star Luo Coins, and the conversion method is the same, but a meat bun needs to be bought with ten Star Luo Iron Coins, and it is still pocket-sized." Ling Huxuan glanced at Su Su and thought to herself, she had amnesia? What a mysterious woman. Originally, he didn't care about her, but now he gradually wanted to know more about her, and it seemed that he had to ask Moon Shadow to investigate Su Su.
"That is to say, a Star Luo Iron Coin is equivalent to a dime of a certain Celestial Dynasty, and a Star Luo Gold Coin is equivalent to a hundred." Su Su muttered in a low voice, she was not very good at math, and it took her fingers to calculate it for a long time.
When she realized how much one hundred and eighty Star Luo Gold Coins were, her first reaction was that she would need so much money in one night, what a pitfall. Then she thought that this was not the main thing, they solved the matter of Yunya Village, and she had to make money as the top priority, otherwise her first step to save the world and help people would be stuck with no money.
"Su Su, it's okay, when we solve the matter of Yunya Village, I will take you to the ancient tomb to get the treasure and return him." The cold wind comforted gently. He saw that Su Su was silent, thinking that she was worried that she would not be able to pay the room and board expenses.
"No, I have a way to return his Star Luo coins, you don't have to go to the ancient tomb to get it." Su Su said confidently that she now has all kinds of ideas in her mind to make money, and everything will wait until she goes to Yunya Village and helps the villagers recover the treasures.
After Su Su had eaten and drunk to his heart's content, he wrote an IOU to Ling Huxuan, and the repayment date on it said that one month after killing the leopard demon, if there was an extension, an extra Xingluo gold coin would be added every day. She thought that she had space at hand, and with the fact that she had seen so many business moves in the original world, a month should be enough. After writing, he did not hesitate to press the handprint.
In the afternoon of the same day, Su Su and his party packed up their things and set off for Yunya Village. This time, Ling Huxuan hired a carriage, and Yunya Village was not far from Bingyu Town, so they arrived the next evening.
The sky is full of colorful glow, and the deep and light colors render the sky surprisingly beautiful. From a distance, I saw a quiet village standing under the sunset on a steep cliff, and the cliff was surrounded by white clouds, which looked ethereal and mysterious.
"The front is Yunya Village, and my family is in the fifth house at the head of the village, so let's go to have a light meal together first, and then go to the village chief." Zhang San had already recovered his previous complexion, he thought that Su Su must be very tired after a long journey, so it was better to go to his house to rest first.
"No need." Su Su and Ling Huxuan said in unison. After saying that, they looked at each other and laughed.
"Let's go directly to the village chief, we've been delayed for a long time." Leng Hanfeng also wanted to solve this matter quickly, so that Ling Huxuan, who was not pleasing to his eyes no matter how he looked at it, could disappear in front of Su Su's eyes as soon as possible.
Zhang San was moved by their enthusiastic attitude, so he took them to the village chief's house. The village chief was eating, and when he saw Zhang San, he immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks excitedly and walked quickly to them.
"Little San'er, you can be counted as coming back, everyone is looking forward to your return every day." The village chief grabbed Zhang San's arm and said with red eyes. On the same day, the leopard demon came to Yunya Village to rob the treasure, Zhang San avoided the eyes and ears of the leopard demon, and secretly went to the village to move the rescuers.
"Village Chief, I had an accident on the road, and I came back late, which worries you." Zhang San hurriedly explained that he was afraid that the village chief would worry, so he hid the matter of encountering evil ghosts.
Su Su heard the village chief's address to Zhang San, and burst out laughing.
"Little San'er, who are these?" The village chief asked Zhang San a little puzzled, several people in front of him were dressed extraordinarily, one of the two men was handsome and extraordinary, the other was a jade tree with a dignified appearance, and the woman was also beautiful and refined, and the age of several people was in their early twenties.
"Village Chief, these two are Linghu Xuan Shaoxia and Cold Wind Shaoxia, this is Su Su Woman, they are here to help us destroy demons and seize treasures."
"Oh, a few knights have worked hard, I guess Xiao San'er told you about the current crisis in Yunya Village." The village chief had already noticed them, but seeing that they were so young, they were just friends made on Zhang San's road, but he never expected that these people were the rescuers that Zhang San moved in.
"Well, Zhang San has already told us." Susu replied. The old man in front of him, with kind eyebrows and gray hair, has deep traces of time on his face.
"Alas, about the treasure that was taken away by the leopard demon, Xiao San'er and the other villagers only know one and not the other." The village chief looked up to the sky and sighed and said to Su Su and the others.
That treasure is one of the nine immortal weapons of Mulan, called the Qiankun Treasure Basin, it is rumored that it was made by the ancient immortals, as long as the knights recognized by the Qiankun Treasure Pot, they will be given immortal artifacts.
One day, a Yunyou Taoist who was named Clear the Dust passed by Yunya Mountain and said that there was enough spiritual energy here, so he put this treasure in the cave on the top of Yunya Mountain. For hundreds of years, the entrance of the cave has been guarded by villagers, and other villagers know about the above things. The Qingchen Daoist told the villagers not to get too close to the cave, but it was actually about this Qiankun treasure pot, and there was another thing that the villagers didn't know. He once told the village chief alone that the Qiankun treasure pot was not only a treasure, but also suppressed an evil ghost in it, because its ghost power was too strong, after the head of the Qingchen Dao placed several seals, he also set up a suppression formation for it, but that formation needed to use the natural terrain of heaven and earth in order to exert the maximum effect. And the chief of the dust cleaning road traveled around in order to find a suitable place to settle. He searched for a long time until he found the cave at the top of Cloud Cliff.
"So the village chief is worried that the leopard demon will find the evil ghost and release it?" Ling Huxuan frowned slightly and asked with a solemn expression.
"Yes, if that evil ghost is released by the leopard demon, it will definitely become a great disaster for the people in the world." The village chief said worriedly.
"Village chief, is that leopard demon still in the village?" Su Su asked the village chief suspiciously, they have all been here for a while, if the leopard demon is still there, why hasn't there been any movement? She felt that there was nothing unusual in Yunya Village, unlike when she was in Danyang Village, there was obviously a demonic aura enveloping the entire village.
"Susu Woman, after that leopard demon took away the Qiankun treasure pot, he caught a few villagers and disappeared." The village chief couldn't help but blame himself deeply when he thought of the villagers who had been arrested, but if he didn't agree to the chief, how could the villagers have a rich life now? Before leaving, the chief gave the village a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.
