Chapter 15: The Miserable Woman
"Senior sister, I don't want to eat meat, it's too unpalatable." Lu Xiaoding was unwilling, this kind of thing was unpalatable to the sky compared to the soup he cooked.
Lu Yaoxiang said calmly: "Senior brother, we don't have everything in our sleeves, such a long snake, there is no way to preserve the meat. Senior brother can just take what he likes and replace it with crystal fruit for the two of us. ”
"Crystal Fruit?" Bai Zhen glanced at her lightly, she was really bold, and she dared to bargain in such a place where there was no one. If someone dies here, they will not be found if they are rotten into white bones.
If he wants to pretend to be stupid or use repair as an oppression, he can get the wrong person.
I saw Lu Xiaoding pulling my senior sister's sleeve and said pitifully: "Senior sister, we have nothing to gain from coming out this time, and I am afraid that my father's illness is helpless." And the senior sister's family will also force you to marry the old man who has lost all his teeth, just to buy pills for your brother in exchange for some crystal beans. ”
"Our lives are so miserable, senior sister, I will soon become an orphan, and you will be invaded by that bad old man. God is so unfair, senior sister, do we only have one way to live! ”
Lu Yaoxiang touched her head and smiled bitterly: "Xiaoding, you have to live bravely, my life is over, but you have just begun." Don't worry, I will ask the old man to raise the bride price and take out crystal beans to treat your father and mother. ”
"Senior sister, if we could pick up the spirit grass, or the corpse of some wind golden horn snake this time, we wouldn't be so desperate. It's a pity that we don't cultivate, so we can only be eaten by mermaids. After Lu Xiaoding finished speaking, he buried his head in Lu Yaoxiang's chest and cried heartbroken.
"Xiao Ding, you can only blame us for being useless!"
Bai Zhen looked at the two of them speechlessly, and couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, could it be that what he said was true?
No matter how you look at it, it feels like it's true, and it's very sudden that I proposed such an assignment, and neither of them has talked in secret, so it can't be made up right away. Forget it, let's get them out of this life. Otherwise, maybe you will have to curse yourself for the rest of your life, and it will be a little uncomfortable if you see it in the door in the future, and it won't be much crystal fruit anyway.
If Lu Xiaoding and the two are noisy and noisy, Bai Zhen will take the things directly, and if it is serious, he will beat them up. It's not enough to kill people, how can they be people from the same sect, and it's too inhumane to kill two medicine boys.
Now the two of them are crying out for a while, but they are embarrassed to make Bai Zhen embarrassed, not to mention robbing women's things, and they will also cause their families to be ruined, which may affect Dao Xin.
So, Bai Zhen said generously: "Forget it, let's divide the three of us equally." It's troublesome for you to sell it, give me the whole snake, and convert the part that you give to you into crystals, and you can always take it away. ”
Lu Xiaoding raised his head violently, and burst into tears and laughed, "Senior Brother Xie Xie Xinxiu, you are really a good person. ”
Lu Yaoxiang is also willing to divide it like this, otherwise it will be very troublesome to deal with those scales or something, it is better to take the crystal fruit, and you can buy the exercises and spiritual grass you want.
Neither of them knew the price, but fortunately Bai Zhen was not a bad person, and gave them a generous price, and divided them into twenty-six crystals the size of pigeon eggs.
The fruit is worth more than a bean, which is only the size of a soybean, and the larger the fruit, the more valuable it is. The crystal fruit with the size of a pigeon egg is not too big, it is the common one on the market, and this is the case, which also makes Lu Xiaoding, who has never taken a crystal fruit, excited.
When the things were in hand, Lu Yaoxiang decided to go back. As for Bai Zhen, he didn't need them to worry about it at all, he was going to contact the people in the sect and directly ask the disciples of Taiyifeng who managed the sect's treasury to come and buy it.
Although the price is not as high as outside, it saves a lot of trouble, and there is no need to drag it out to sell. Bai Zhen's sleeves are not so big, he can't fit the whole Wind Golden Horn Snake at all, and he can't take the valuable place and can't draw it, and if he throws it here, it will be picked up by others.
Lu Xiaoding followed behind his senior sister, holding a torch and walking back step by step. Seeing that he was almost gone, he whispered: "Senior sister, the child's laughter I heard before was on the rookie senior brother. ”
"On him! Do you know what the Tao is? Lu Yaoxiang paused, turned around and frowned and asked.
"It should be a spirit grass that has become a essence, and it may be banned in a jade box, so I can't hear it even if I stand in front of me. It was only when he took out the crystal beads to us that the slit in his sleeve opened, and I heard a sound. The voice was so small that if you hadn't stared at him, you would have missed the laughter.
Lu Yaoxiang thought about it and said: "It seems that the Wind Golden Horn Snake is guarding this spirit grass, and it just so happens that the spirit grass was robbed by Bai Zhen, so it will chase it out." Unexpectedly, Lingcao didn't hold on, and almost put himself in. ”
"Senior sister, forget about it, that rookie senior brother is very powerful." Afraid that she would have any ideas, Lu Xiaoding persuaded him, and her intuition told him that this person was very dangerous.
Lu Yaoxiang suddenly laughed speechlessly, "You also think too highly of me, I am only in the early stage of Qi refining, and I don't know a few spells, how can I beat him." Let's go, tomorrow we'll go to Luxing City down the mountain to buy something. "I don't want to think about my level, no matter how arrogant I am, I won't have the idea of robbing, ten lives are not enough to die.
"I'm not afraid of you messing around, I don't care if it's someone else." Lu Xiaoding was relieved, she was really afraid that her senior sister would do something irrational.
The road at night was even more difficult to walk, and the two of them walked to the foggy sky and saw the mountain road when they came. I didn't plan to go back to the Wuyao Hall, so I went directly to the mountain gate and reported to the disciples on duty that I wanted to go down the mountain.
It's just that the two medicine boys went out, and it was Yu Daojun's people, and the disciples on duty just remembered it and let them go out.
Luxing City is located outside the Fangjing Mountain Range, only half an hour away from the Cloud Sword Sect, and it is easy to reach by foot, even faster if you ride a horse. Lu Xiaoding and the two of them don't have horses when they go out, they go out at most once a year, that is, to buy some sundries, if it weren't for the straight road without a fork in the road and following the senior sister, she was worried that she would be lost.
There are not many pedestrians on the road, there is no expansion in the sect, and the taxes are collected by the Cloud Sword Sect, and there are usually no mortals coming. There were a few more pedestrians on the road than the wild cats, all of whom were low-level disciples of the Cloud Sword Sect, and most of them were returning to Luxing City to visit their relatives.
Lu Xiaoding was puzzled and said, "Senior sister, could it be that the disciples of the Cloud Sword Sect are all from Luxing City?" ”
"There are quite a few, every year on the third day of the Lunar New Year, the Cloud Sword Sect will send people to Luxing City to show the spiritual veins to children under the age of eight. As long as you find that the innate spiritual vein meets the entry requirements, you will ask the meaning of the other party's family. If you agree to enter the Cloud Sword Gate directly when you grow up, you will give the pill to the child to take, and when you grow up to the age of eight, you will directly become a new disciple. "These Lu Yaoxiang know a lot about the Tao, so he explained it to her.
And those who did not directly agree to get started, the Cloud Sword Sect did not provide pills, and they went to raise them in their own homes, and when they were eight years old, they would take the cultivation test. This is not a cultivation test for the Cloud Sword Sect family, but a cultivation test for the entire cultivation realm, whether it is a famous and decent family or an evil demon and crooked sect, they will recruit disciples under the age of sixteen in the cultivation test.
In addition to passing the requirements of this sect, the person who entered the sect must also agree to it. Of course, evil factions sometimes forcibly rob the people they like, and decency is to lure people with various benefits.
The Cloud Sword Sect is only a second-rate sect, but it majors in swordsmanship, not to mention other spells, and its strength in light saber is very strong. In addition to being poor, he is rarely bullied outside, and because the sect is well taught, he doesn't deliberately make trouble with others.
Many children who like to fight and kill will also come here to do sword cultivation from far away, and of course, the disciples recruited the most by each sect are the children of mortal families within the range of their power. The sect wants to protect the safety of the towns and residents in the power, and taxes must also be collected, and the disciples naturally collect more from their own territory.
Often, in a few towns in the territory, half of the people have various relatives who are practicing in the sect. If there are suitable children in the family, they will naturally be set in advance, and as soon as the age is reached, they will receive the entry school, and after the new entry two years, they will enter the peaks.
Children younger than eight years old are not required to get started, they can't take care of themselves, they eat, drink, bath and all day long, and they can't torture their brothers and sisters to death.
"So that's the case, no wonder someone like me who was picked up can only be a medicine boy and not a disciple." After engaging in nepotism for a long time, Lu Xiaoding nodded with deep understanding.
Lu Yaoxiang immediately glanced at her, "It's not because of this, it's because you're too stupid." If you don't have a complete soul and no spiritual veins, who will let you be a disciple? ”
"How could I possibly have something like a spiritual vein?" Lu Xiaoding looked at her disapprerovingly, patted his chest and said, "My whole person is aura, what kind of spiritual veins do I want." ”
"Don't tell anyone about this kind of thing, they will catch you and use it as a furnace." What a heartless fellow, and he can't hold back to say something like this that will kill him.
Lu Xiaoding stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "I just said it to my senior sister, and I won't say it to others." ”
"I really can't help you, Luxing City is almost here, you have to talk less." There were more people on the road, and they had already walked to the place where there was a village outside Luxing City, and they were about to enter the city after a short walk.
For Lu Xiaoding, this was her first time going to the town, and she was dazzled by the things in the shops on both sides of the street, which was not at all comparable to the small market of the sect. Except for the things used by the monks, half of them were mortals' food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and she couldn't use her eyes to see it, and she felt that everything was new.
"Senior sister, come and see, there is a soul word written on the signboard of this store, is it the soul of a seller? Let's go in and buy some and make it up for me. Lu Xiaoding found a strange shop, and a soul was written on the flag at the door, and she ran in in a hurry.
This is the territory of Yunjianmen, how can someone sell souls, Lu Yaoxiang hurriedly chased in, "Xiaoding, this is not a soul seller, you hurry up, the things here are very expensive......"
Guizi shouted a sound, and when she entered the store, she saw that the shopkeeper had already wrapped an object around Lu Xiaoding.
