Chapter 16 Gifts and Invitations
This chapter is a transitional chapter, but the author also used his brains, new people and new works, there may still be many deficiencies, and I hope that readers will forgive me and support a lot. If you have any comments about the plot or suggestions, please feel free to leave me a message.
This year's winter was particularly cold, and after Yuan Shan used the money exchanged for Baoyu to store a large number of winter supplies for the people in Zhuangzi, it began to snow heavily for three days and three nights.
However, Yuan Shan was not idle, if she had never been calculated by the red-faced shopkeeper, Yuan Shan would definitely feel that with her current cultivation and identity as an immortal cultivator, she was already very powerful. Moreover, she has enough time and resources, and the improvement of her cultivation is not in a hurry.
But after that fight, Yuan Shan's cognition and desire for strength also reached another height.
Although immortal cultivators are higher than mortals in all aspects, and after becoming a high-level immortal cultivator, they can be called immortals in the eyes of mortals. But as a low-level immortal cultivator, if he doesn't have enough means of self-preservation, he may also capsize in the gutter, be calculated by mortals, and even lose his life.
Reborn once, Yuan Shan cherishes her life very much.
At this time, she did not cultivate immortals in a thousand faces, but placed herself in the depths of the dense forest, placing herself in the ice and snow, and after an epiphany in the snow that day, Yuan Shan felt that the ice and snow seemed to have a unique affinity with her.
With your legs crossed and your hands pinched, you can slowly integrate yourself into the world of ice and snow, and feel the slaughter of ice and snow and the softness of water. In such weather, the water aura between heaven and earth is extremely strong.
It took about a meal before Yuan Shan's figure gradually emerged from the snow. She opened her eyes, stood up suddenly, and muttered a mantra silently, a small ice crystal appeared on her finger. With a wave of the jade hand, the ice crystals shot backwards into an orange tree not far away.
However, the ice crystals seem to be sharp, but in fact, they are so strong that they fall to the ground as soon as they touch the orange tree.
"Well, it's not hard enough." Yuan Shan muttered to herself, she only has the second layer of Qi training, but because of that epiphany in the snow, she has been able to condense the icicle, if the spiritual energy is abundant, the condensed icicle is enough, and the hardness is appropriate, it is enough to be used as a weapon with great lethality.
Although the first attempt was unsuccessful, Yuan Shan was not discouraged, Yuan Shan, who had not received a traditional education from the Xiuxian family since she was a child, was not so superstitious about qualifications, and she didn't even take it seriously.
On the contrary, I think that the so-called person's qualification is just a reference, unless it is really stupid, the most important thing is personal effort. Therefore, he condensed the ice pick again and again, and did not sit cross-legged on his knees until the spiritual power in his body was exhausted.
After an hour of practice, Yuan Shan's condensed icicle has been able to penetrate a bowl-thick orange tree, the only pity is that due to its own cultivation, such an icicle can only be fired three times at a time, and it can only be fired once in a period of time.
In any case, as a low-level immortal cultivator, Yuan Shan already had his own unique means of preserving his life. Yuan Shan looked at the icicle planted in the tree behind the target orange tree with satisfaction.
The icicle was so sharp that it didn't sink into the tree, and it was crystal clear and shiny.
In the future, unless he encounters other immortal cultivators and ordinary martial arts masters in the secular world, Yuan Shan can be confident that he can kill them in one fell swoop without the help of a "thousand faces" sneak attack.
"Miss, the eldest lady is here, come out quickly." At this time, Ruohua's voice came from the dense forest.
If it was usual, such a cold weather, Ruohua would not let Yuan Shan come out, Yuan Shan had to make up a story, in which she met a master of the world and taught her a special method of self-cultivation, but this method of self-cultivation must be practiced in extreme weather.
In order to make this story more real, Yuan Shan even performed "light skills" to show Ruohua.
As an immortal cultivator of the second layer of Qi cultivation, Yuan Shan was three zhang tall in one jump. Ruohua also had to believe it, but this girl was still worried that Yuan Shan would be frozen, so she had to stay outside the dense forest at first.
As a result, he was infected with the wind cold, but seeing that Yuan Shan had always been fine, he had to go back to recuperate until the wind cold was cured. If it weren't for Yuan Shan's order not to allow outsiders to approach, it is estimated that this girl would not be able to sit still.
"Why did the eldest sister come to Zhuangzi?" Yuan Shan was slightly strange.
Ruan Yuanshan's eldest sister Ruan Yuanzhu is the eldest daughter of the concubine, and her biological mother is Aunt Lu, who was the dowry girl of the Lin family back then and also the confidant of the Lin family. She must have known about Yuan Shan's biological mother and Ruan Tianxue back then.
It's just that the eldest sister has been gentle and obedient since she was a child, and she is also kind to Yuan Shan, her half-sister, and Yuan Shan has always remembered it in her heart.
But Yuan Shan remembered that the eldest sister had married last year, and now she is also a seven-grade lady. It has been eight months since she was pregnant with Liujia, and it has been snowing heavily in the past few days, the snow roads are slippery, and the mountain roads have always been difficult to walk, Yuan Shan never thought that the eldest sister would come to Zhuangzi to see herself.
Thinking in his heart, Yuan Shan had already walked out of the forest quickly, and as soon as she came out, Ruohua was already standing outside with Mei Lan and waiting.
"Miss, add some clothes, don't freeze."
In fact, in order to hide that she was not afraid of the cold, Yuan Shan wore a lot of clothes, but in Ruohua's opinion, the young lady still looked so thin.
Mei Lan was not to be outdone when she saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward and handed Yuan Shan a soup woman.
Yuan Shan saw it in her eyes, Mei Lan's careful thoughts, how could Yuan Shan not know? These days of getting along, Yuan Shan has already determined that Mei Lan is the eyes of the Lin family, and everyone else should not be.
Now she doesn't win Yuan Shan's trust with her good skill in combing her hair as Lin thought. On the contrary, under Yuan Shan's hint, this Zhuangzi was squeezed out by nothing.
Therefore, she is honest, especially after Yuan Shan didn't know where to get so much silver to buy supplies for everyone, she didn't dare to underestimate Yuan Shan anymore. On the contrary, it is as if I have figured it out, and I am very attentive every day.
Yuan Shan didn't expect her to turn her back on the Lin family, or go to her side, as long as she didn't do things that she couldn't tolerate, she just turned a blind eye.
Now Yuan Shan's vision has also changed greatly, just like an elephant, he will never go to the ants for revenge. As an immortal cultivator who has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, if he wants to find trouble with a mortal, a mortal will never be able to withstand the anger of an immortal cultivator.
Moreover, immortal cultivators often disdain to find trouble with ants, although Yuan Shan's state of mind at this time is not completely like this, it is almost the same.
As long as the Lin family doesn't come to trouble her, or doesn't make trouble for her, after she has cultivated enough, she will leave here and find her biological mother, and after fulfilling her long-cherished wish for two lives, she will go to the immortal cultivation world of her dreams, and maybe never come back......
Ruan Yuanzhu is actually the most like Ruan Tianxue among the children, with snow-white skin, beautiful appearance, and even more rare is her temperament and gentleness. Although she is a concubine, because of Ruan Tianxue's love, she also has a certain status in the Ruan family.
She is now eight months pregnant, her body looks a little bloated, leaning slightly on the soft couch, and her beautiful eyes keep looking out of the door, looking a little anxious.
Seeing Yuan Shan coming in, he hurriedly stood up.
"Why is the eldest sister here, sit down quickly." Yuan Shan hurriedly held her up, "My sister is heavy now, why did she come to see me?" ”
Ruan Yuanzhu originally heard that Yuan Shan was still outside on a snowy day, and blamed Ruohua for not taking good care of her, but she was still very anxious after hearing the reason.
Now that Yuan Shan is fine, she seems to be a little fatter and taller, and she doesn't look like a nine-year-old girl, knowing that she is doing well. There was a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, but he said: "My sister knows that I am heavy, and she still tells me to wait in vain?" ”
"Yes, it's my sister, isn't it, isn't this here to make amends!"
"I heard that my sister moved out, but now I am used to living there?" Ruan Yuanzhu sat down, but saw the "scar" on Yuan Shan's forehead, as well as the faint red spots on her cheeks, and sighed inaudibly, this sister's eyebrows and eyes and appearance were originally the best among the Ruan Fu sisters, but now they have to be treated like this. It's unpredictable.
With Yuan Shan's mind, can you not see what Ruan Yuanzhu is thinking? My heart was slightly warm, "Now it is excellent in this Zhuangzi, my sister knows it when she looks at it, but she knows that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive." ”
Speaking of the bitterness of being in charge, Ruan Yuanzhu has been married for a year, and she is the main house, so she has naturally experienced such hard work, and she doesn't feel that she has begun to vomit bitterness to Yuan Shan.
Although Hanlin is a petty official, there are a lot of things in the house, and now she is pregnant, and she has opened her face for her husband's dowry, and the sadness in it has also been vomited clean.
"Sister, wait, my sister has something for my sister now." Yuan Shan didn't wait for Ruan Yuanzhu to refuse, so she went straight into the house, but in fact, she entered the "Thousand Faces", picked a bright red fruit, stuffed it into her sleeve, and came out of the "Thousand Faces", called Ruan Yuanzhu and quietly stuffed it to her.
"Sister, this is ......"
"Sister, don't mention it to others, a woman's birth is a ghost gate, this is a treasure given to my sister by that strange person. My sister may not be able to use it in this life, please don't shirk my sister's hope, just take it half an hour before giving birth, so that my sister can give birth smoothly. ”
This red fruit is an elixir called "Shun Ling Fruit", which is just an adjuvant for alchemy for immortal cultivators, but it is undoubtedly a fairy fruit for secular women, especially for pregnant women, taking it before childbirth will ensure smooth delivery, and there will be no discomfort in the whole process.
In fact, Ruan Yuanzhu didn't come to see Yuan Shan today, but the Lin family ordered her to send things to Yuan Shan, and the Lu family was originally dissatisfied with the Lin family asking her daughter who was eight months pregnant to send things, especially to Yuan Shan. In Lu's opinion, Yuan Shan has been given up by Ruan Fu, what can she do as a girl in the future?
In addition, the Lin family hates her like this, and his daughter is really not suitable for her to be too close to her.
But if Ruan Yuanzhu didn't come to see Ruan Yuanshan today, and asked Ruan Yuanshan to think of this sister's kindness, I'm afraid Ruan Yuanzhu would miss such an opportunity. It can be seen that this thing is really mysterious, and there is a definite number in the dark.
When Ruan Yuanzhu heard that there were such treasures, she was about to refuse, but when she heard Yuan Shan say that she might not be able to use them in her life, and she was afraid of touching her sister's sadness, she had to accept it.
In fact, although Yuan Shan has a soft face to cover her face, after cultivating immortals, her temperament has undergone earth-shaking changes, and her gestures are convincing.
Therefore, Ruan Yuanzhu did not doubt what she said at all, but felt that such a precious treasure, her sister said that she would give it to herself, which was really a great kindness.
Yuan Shan thought well before, the Lu family, as the Lin family's dowry back then, naturally knew Yuan Shan's identity, although she did not tell her daughter, but she also warned her to keep a distance from Ruan Yuanshan, the younger sister who carved out of the past.
But Ruan Yuanzhu didn't completely listen to her aunt's words, if she had listened to Lu's words back then, Yuan Shan would not have given such a precious treasure to herself lightly.
Ruan Yuanzhu felt a little emotional in her heart, and she couldn't figure it out, why would God be so unfair to her sister?
The two sisters were both gentle people, so they were very speculative, and they chatted a lot unconsciously, and before leaving, Ruan Yuanzhu remembered the purpose of her visit, and took off a delicate invitation from her body......
