439. Take what you need
There are three people in this family, Yuan Ruolan and her son and daughter, as for her husband, I didn't hear her mention it, and I can't find any traces of living here.
Lingyu and Yuan Ruolan sat in the house, and Dong'er was tinkering with the spirit grass in the yard. Those spirit grasses are the raw materials needed to make paper runes, mash out the juice, and add wooden paddles to make qualified rune paper. Although Dong'er is young, her movements are very skillful.
Yuan Ruolan saw her staring at Dong'er in the courtyard, and said with a little shame: "The family is poor, this child has been helping me make talisman paper since he was seven or eight years old, and it is all my incompetent ...... as a mother."
Lingyu said: "This kid has good qualifications, it's a pity." ”
It's a pity that she didn't say anything, and Yuan Ruolan also knew. At the age of twelve, many people have just entered the realm of visualization, and they can enter the body with aura, and Dong'er has already refined the third layer of qi, and if they can cultivate it well, the future is limitless.
She was silent for a moment, cheered up, and asked, "I don't know what you need the concubine to help you with?" ”
Lingyu retracted her gaze and asked bluntly, "Is the Yuan family a world resident in Jackdaw Mountain?" I don't know how much Yuan Daoyou knows about Jackdaw Mountain? ”
Yuan Ruolan replied: "The concubine has been living in Jackdaw Mountain before, and she has only moved to Changhe City in recent years. ”
"So, Yuan Daoyou knows everything about Jackdaw Mountain?"
"Don't dare." Yuan Ruolan hurriedly said, "There are three surnames in Jackdaw Mountain, each according to one party, if the other two families are involved, the concubine will not know." ”
"So, do you know the place Frozen Crane Pond?"
Yuan Ruolan's eyes flashed with surprise, and she nodded: "I know, but Frozen Hetan has been frozen for many years, and few people go there......"
"It's not a disciple with three surnames. I want to go to Frozen Crane Pond. Is there a way? ”
Yuan Ruolan shook her head: "Jackdaw Mountain is not allowed to outsiders to step in. ”
"What if I want to go?"
Yuan Ruolan looked at her with surprise in her eyes. said: "If a Taoist friend comes to visit, maybe ......."
Lingyu only looked at her and didn't speak.
Yuan Ruolan understood, she didn't want people to know. I know that the family does not allow outsiders to enter, but I still want to go in, and I don't want people to know, how wrong I think about this. If it was before, Yuan Ruolan would not hesitate to refuse. No matter how high the price of the other party is, it can ...... now
Seeing her hesitation, Lingyu said, "Who did Yuan Daoyou offend?" ”
Hearing this, Yuan Ruolan looked panicked: "You ......"
Lingyu said slowly: "We were just talking on the street, and someone wanted to listen. ”
Yuan Ruolan believed it almost without doubt, she gritted her teeth and looked angry: "Our family has left Jackdaw Mountain, what do they want!" ”
Lingyu looked at her quietly and didn't say a word.
The hesitation on Yuan Ruolan's face became even stronger, on the one hand, she didn't want to give up this opportunity. On the one hand, I am worried about being caught.
"Daoyou...... "It's been a long time, Yuan Ruolan said." Can you wait a minute? The dog soon returned. ”
Lingyu narrowed her eyes. Listening to what the little girl Dong'er said before, I thought that the child was sensible, but now it seems that the person in charge of this family is probably the son.
She thought for a moment: "I just arrived in Changhe City, and there are still many things to deal with, and I can only wait for half an hour at most." ”
Yuan Ruolan nodded hurriedly: "Enough, the dog Shenchu will get off work." ”
The two waited and chatted at the same time.
Lingyu said without a trace, which was quite interesting.
Sure enough, Yuan Ruolan's husband is no longer there, and it is not clear whether it fell or what the reason is. The two children are not big, but she has a soft temperament and has no opinions. Listening to her words, it seems that she has had a good life before, but in recent years, her livelihood has been difficult.
Lingyu thought of her embarrassment of stopping people on the street, as well as the talisman making things in the courtyard, and vaguely understood in her heart. She is not the kind of monk who has begged for a living in the fairy city since she was a child, and when she encountered misfortune, she had to move to Changhe City and make a living by virtue of her talisman making skills. Eighty percent of this disaster is related to her husband, and there is also pressure from the family, which makes her both unwilling and helpless. It's just that there is a son and a daughter, and for the sake of the future of the children, they have to hold on.
Although she is the head of the family, it is her son who is the master of the family, which can be seen from the attitude of her and her daughter.
Looking at Yuan Ruolan's actions, she really doesn't look like a veteran monk with rich experience. The means of accosting her are clumsy, and she doesn't notice that she is being targeted by others, so she wants to find a place to talk, and she takes her home directly. If she is the one in charge, I am afraid that their family will have been eaten to the bone.
Thinking of this, Lingyu was a little curious about her son, who had gone to work.
Half an hour later, there was a knock at the door. Dong'er put down the medicine pestle in her hand: "Is it my brother?" ”
A young voice came from outside: "Dong'er open the door." ”
Dong'er hurriedly opened the prohibition, the door was pushed open, and a tall young man stepped into the door.
This young man is about seventeen or eighteen years old, his figure is already as strong as an adult man, his eyes are sharp, and his appearance is somewhat similar to Yuan Ruolan and Dong'er.
"Where's my mother?" The boy put down the basket full of herbs in his hand and helped his sister clean it up.
Before Dong'er could answer, Yuan Ruolan had already called: "Lixia, come in." ”
The young man named Lixia slapped off the grass clippings in his hand and stepped into the door: "Mother, ...... you today"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Lingyu and immediately became alert.
Yuan Ruolan pulled him over and introduced to Lingyu: "Fellow Daoist, this is the dog Lixia. Then he said to Lixia, "This is a Taoist friend from Lingcang, my mother went out today and happened to meet her." Under her son's fierce gaze, she smiled very weakly.
In front of the guests, Lixia still gave face to his mother, and smiled at Lingyu: "I've seen my predecessors." ”
Lingyu nodded to him: "Little friends don't have to be polite. ”
Lixia's cultivation was a little higher than his mother's, and he had already reached the ninth level of qi refining. This family is living so poorly, if he can have such a cultivation, I am afraid that all the income will be invested in him. Yuan Ruolan wanted to build the foundation period, and it was probably also prepared for her son.
Lingyu's first impression, this young man, was much more shrewd than his mother. Yuan Ruolan was confused, she couldn't see her cultivation, so she thought that she was in the Qi refining period like herself. Lixia just started to say that senior, just because she was her mother's guest, and then her eyes were stunned, cloudy and uncertain, with both doubt and awe.
Although he didn't see the true cultivation of Lingyu, he also knew that with his cultivation of the ninth layer of Qi refining, he couldn't see the realm of Lingyu at all, and it must be above the foundation. What did my mother do today, how could she bring back such a guest?
Just thinking about it, Yuan Ruolan pulled her son and said, "Lixia, this Taoist friend wants to ask us for a favor, and I am willing to reward him with exercises after the matter is completed." ”
"Exercises?" Lixia was stunned, with annoyance on his face, and shouted in a low voice, "Mother, you went out to mess around again!" ”
Yuan Ruolan turned her eyes away and muttered, "Why is it nonsense?" Isn't my mother anxious for you......"
In front of the guests, Lixia didn't want to say anything, and said to Lingyu with a little respect: "Senior, if my mother has any offense, please don't be surprised." ”
Lingyu waved her hand: "Nothing offensive, just to talk about a deal." If we can, we will take what we need, and if we can't, then it doesn't matter. ”
Lixia was very vigilant: "We are just ordinary Qi refining cultivators, and our lives are still difficult, so I'm afraid we won't be able to help our seniors." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Ruolan quietly pulled down her son's sleeve: "Lixia, this Taoist friend wants to go to Frozen Crane Pond." ”
Lixia was stunned, and his face was slightly gloomy: "The seniors are going to Frozen Crane Pond, just go to Jackdaw Mountain to ask to see the three great families......" Under Lingyu's gaze, he gradually closed his voice. If you can, why bother looking for these abandoned sons who have been abandoned by the family?
Lingyu said: "You just need to tell me, how can you go to Frozen Crane Pond justifiably." As long as it is done, the exercise is yours. ”
"What do you want to do when you go to Frozen Crane Pond?" Lixia stared at her closely, "Our cultivation is low, and we can't afford to have an accident." ”
Lingyu smiled: "Bear? What does Xiaoyou want to bear? As far as I know, there is no production in the area of Frozen Crane Pond. I just don't want to get into trouble, so I want a proper identity. ”
Lixia looked at her mother, and Yuan Ruolan nodded and said, "Frozen Hetan is indeed not produced. ”
That being said, who knows if the other party is coaxing them? Lixia knew that her mother was simple-minded, and she believed whatever others said, and she would definitely not suspect that what Lingyu said was untrue.
In fact, he himself was very moved. In Damengze, the exercises are extremely precious, and often with a relatively perfect exercise, you can build a family. The exercises sold in Changhe City are ridiculously expensive, if it weren't for this, my mother wouldn't have looked for monks from other places for him, and she had been deceived before......
This senior is extraordinary, and at the very least, he is also a foundation builder, and there is a great possibility of possessing exercises. It's just that what she asked for, there are some risks, if something happens, it will be known by the Yuan family......
Lixia's heart moved, and a thought popped up.
"It's not difficult for seniors to want a legitimate identity." Lixia said, "It's just that the exercises mentioned by the predecessors ......."
Lingyu touched the Qiankun bag and threw out a jade slip: "Xiaoyou, just check it." ”
Lixia took it, probed into his sense, and soon a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Lixia?" Yuan Ruolan called.
Lixia restrained the joy on his face and nodded to his mother: "It's true." ”
This exercise was obtained by Lingyu in Xingluohai, it is ordinary and unremarkable, without obvious characteristics, and others cannot see her origin from this exercise.
Lixia is still a teenager after all, and when he saw the exercises, he almost believed it.
He looked at this foundation building exercise that was close in front of him, thought of the past five years, and said in his heart: "The family of Damengze will also recruit casual cultivators, and the seniors only need to disguise themselves as casual cultivators and go to these families to take refuge." ”
Lingyu nodded: "How can I enter these families in an ordinary way?" ”
"The higher the cultivation, the stricter the test of the family. It's better for seniors to disguise their cultivation as low, and then find a suitable identity. By the way, the Xu family has been quite tolerant of the casual cultivation that came to take refuge in recent years, and the seniors might as well go to the Xu family. ”
Lingyu looked at this seemingly straightforward but secretly scheming young man and smiled. (To be continued......)
