Chapter 123: Husband and wife
At this time, I heard the sound of footsteps, the door of the central hall opened, and two monks walked out of it, it was actually a man and a woman, both of whom looked like middle-aged people, and other book friends looked at it normally:. The man was tall and thin, with a cold face, and a taciturn look, but the woman was very enthusiastic, and when she saw Gu Yan, her eyes lit up first, and she looked up and down a few times, "I still think that the master of which island has the leisure to come to this Treasure Island where birds don't, but I didn't expect it to be such a young girl." ”
Gu Yan smiled, bowed his hand to them, everyone entered the middle hall and sat down, and introduced each other's origins, Gu Yan reported his name, but did not mention the matter of the Shenzhou Continent, just said that he came from outside the Guixu Sea, because he was chasing monsters, he strayed into a formation, and was inexplicably teleported to the open sea, and then walked for more than ten days before arriving here.
The woman was very surprised when she heard this, "Although the Guixu Sea is large, I have never heard of a teleportation array in the outer sea, only Tianyin Pavilion has two ancient teleportation arrays, I heard that it can lead to the Guixu Sea, where did the Gu family sister come from?" ”
Gu Yan smiled, and only said that the teleportation array had been forbidden by herself, and it had been destroyed by itself, as for the direction, she pointed casually, anyway, the Guixu Sea is divided into two seas, the inner sea, there are ten islands and three mountains, and countless small islands, at least the outer sea, it is a boundless deep sea, entrenched in countless demon beasts, she pointed in a direction casually, and she couldn't tell the truth from the fake at all.
Then the woman introduced herself again, it turned out that they were husband and wife, which made Gu Yan a little curious, after practicing for so many years, male and female cultivators have seen a lot, but this is the first couple to become husband and wife. Generally speaking, monks focus on their own cultivation and rarely have anything to do with emotional matters, some monks will find some people who are less cultivated than themselves as concubines, but very few will marry because of their affection. But looking at the pair in front of him, the relationship seems to be quite good.
This woman's name is Han Ying. The tall, thin man who doesn't smile is called Bai Tong. Decades ago, they were lucky enough to build a foundation, and then they were named the owners of Treasure Island.
Han Ying said this. I couldn't help but feel a little bleak," he said. Treasure Island is barren, and it is not interesting for the owner of the island to do it, but with the cultivation of my husband and wife, I can't mix with the owner of the island in other places, and I can't be included in the rule of Tianyin Pavilion. ”
Gu Yan was a little curious. After asking a few more questions, I learned that when Tianyin Pavilion ruled the Guixu Sea, it implemented an extremely decentralized and highly centralized method. Usually the highest cultivator on each small island is the island owner, and then the island owner rules the whole island, and is responsible to the higher level of the island owner or mountain owner, and they are only responsible for ruling the ten islands and three mountains. But these island owners under the ten islands and three mountains, every ten years, have to go to Tianyin Pavilion to report, and then according to their achievements and cultivation over the years, or change, other book friends read it normally:. Or continue. Han Ying said with a wry smile: "There are thousands of islands large and small in the Guixu Sea, which island owner is not trembling, walking on thin ice, for fear that one day he will be compared to his opponent." The owner's position is not guaranteed, not only is he unable to get over his face, but he may also have to worry about his life! ”
Gu Yanqi said: "If the island owner doesn't do it, he won't do it, and he just has some offerings, how can his life be in danger?" ”
Han Ying smiled bitterly and said: "How can it be so easy, according to the order of Tianyin Pavilion, the island owner has the right to rule over all the resources on the island, the rest of the people, etc., except for not being able to kill monks of the same level indiscriminately, they only need to send a full amount of offerings to Tianyin Pavilion every year, and they don't care what they want to do." So the things in it are naturally endless. Like our Treasure Island is small, but it is quite calm, those big islands in the sea, when the owner of the island is rotated, it is not bloody and rainy, and dozens or hundreds of people die, which is considered to be a few! ”
Gu Yan said with a smile: "There is a saying in our hometown, which is called Ning as the head of the chicken, not as the queen of the cow." Why do you have to fight for those big islands, change to a quiet place, just like the virtuous couple, isn't it also a pleasure to live a peaceful life? ”
Han Ying couldn't help but smile when she heard what she said, "My sister understands people." It's just that there are not 10,000 but 8,000 islands in the Guixu Sea, and the differences are different. What's more, over the years, Tianyin Pavilion has become more and more stringent in terms of the requirements for the worship of various birds, all because of the ...... that year."
As soon as she said this, Bai Tong on the side suddenly coughed heavily and said: "Old things, saying that it is very important, only to increase the smile of the guests!" His voice was unusually dry and heavy, and it sounded like words were coming out of his throat.
When he said this, Han Ying seemed to feel speechless, and said with a smile: "My husband went wrong because of qi refining when he was building the foundation, although the foundation was successfully built, his voice was damaged, and he always spoke in such a tone, and he could never return to his original appearance. Don't be surprised, girl. ”
Gu Yan waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care, "Presumably, the venerable husband is Jin Linggen, and his true qi is divergent in Sanjiao, causing damage to his vocal cords." I saw that there was a green grass in the garden in the backyard, presumably to refine the two-coke cassia jade liquid? ”
Han Ying's eyes widened in surprise, "Daoyou is really an expert, presumably proficient in alchemy?" She had been calling "sister" very affectionately, but at this time she changed her solemn title, presumably because she saw that Gu Yan did have some real skills.
Gu Yan smiled, she slightly revealed her ability at this time, not to reveal anything, but she knew the laws of the immortal cultivation world, the Shenzhou Continent was like this, and the same was true of the Guixu Sea thousands of miles away, and it would take some capital to pretend to be low-key, if you didn't have any ability, others wouldn't take you seriously, then you would really be reduced to being slaughtered by others. She has long experienced this in Guanque City.
So at this time, she listened to Han Ying's words, and smiled slightly, "My little sister once learned some alchemy techniques with a friend, but she couldn't get on the table, but luckily she had half a bottle of green spirit essence in her hand, and your Excellency had green spirit grass, and it was no longer suitable to use this to dispense medicine." After speaking, he took out a jade bottle, "This is what I picked from under the ground in the ice field in the north, that place is known as the Wanzai Xuan Ice Cave, the cold is pressing, and the quality of the green spirit marrow produced is first-class and good." After speaking, he handed over the jade bottle.
Han Ying stretched out her hand to take it, and as soon as she opened the cap of the bottle, a cold air came to her face, and the room seemed to be a little colder. Han Ying said in surprise: "This is really the green spirit essence that has really experienced ten thousand years, and it is really extraordinary that Daoist friends can harvest this thing from under the ten thousand years of Xuan Ice." I just don't know how many spirit stones are needed, and what kind of magic weapon do you still want to exchange? There was a bit of admiration in her eyes, and even Bai Tong's face changed slightly.
Gu Yan smiled with satisfaction, showed favor, and showed her majesty again, but she was not publicized, this is her style of acting. Listening to Han Ying's words, she shook her head, "When I first came here, I didn't need spirit stones or magic weapons, I just wanted to live here for a while, and I asked you two not to reveal my identity, I don't know if it's okay?" ”
She took out half a bottle of green spirit marrow to make friends with these two people, and only made a small request, which can be said to be extremely magnanimous. But Han Ying and Bai Tong glanced at each other at the same time, and their faces showed embarrassment. Han Ying smiled bitterly and said: "The sister of the Gu family is so gracious, the foolish couple doesn't know how to repay it, if we just want to live on Treasure Island, we must be equal to the courtesy of honored guests, but we just want to hide our deeds, but it is impossible." According to the rules, every monk who comes to Guixu Sea from overseas, as long as he has reached the foundation building, must report to the Bird Lord's Mansion to which he belongs, and then the Island Master will report to Tianyin Pavilion. Otherwise, they won't be able to escape the 'Heavenly Treasures' in the Tianyin Pavilion! ”
Bai Tong said in a calm voice: "Tianyin Pavilion has a magic weapon, I heard that it is left by the ancient immortals, called 'Heavenly Treasures', few people have seen it, only heard that it is a mirror shape, this Baoyong Town is above the Tianyin Pavilion, the light shines on the entire Guixu Sea, Daqian Shijie, nothing to hide, one by one. Therefore, this bottle of green spirit marrow, fellow Daoists, please take it back. ”
Han Ying handed over the jade bottle with some reluctance, and looked at Bai Tong with a regretful gaze, Bai Tong turned her head slightly, but a hand below touched the back of her hand imperceptibly.
Gu Yan didn't take the jade bottle, smiled, and said, "I originally thought it was just a casual invitation, so why embarrass the honored couple?" I just want to stay here for a while, there are rules, and I report it according to the rules. As for the bottle of green spiritual marrow, even if I make friends with my peers, the meeting gift I gave is good. ”
Bai Tong still wanted to excuse herself, Han Ying was already very happy to take it, she said: "According to the rules, every monk must go to the island to report in person, but this time there is no need for the sister to take a special trip, because in another month it will be the Yudan ceremony of the lord of Nanyawen Island, all the monks must participate, and the lord of Yashan Weishan has passed down the order, and all the monks above the foundation of each island must go to Yashan to meet within half a month, and then we will set off together." If the girl comes a few days late, she probably won't be able to see us. ”
Gu Yan smiled and nodded, "Then it's tiring." ”
Han Ying waved his hand again and again, "Speaking of which, we are also monks from the sea, we are all casual cultivators, and we have no background in the sect, so we should watch and help each other." We originally decided to set off in three days, but this time we have the green spirit marrow, so we should take advantage of the effect of the green underworld grass and refine it into jade liquid first, otherwise it will be set in ten days. Wen Yang, go and clean up the quiet room for Senior Gu! ”
With her shouting, the young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes who began to lead Gu Yan in quickly ran in, there seemed to be beads of sweat on his face, and he was a little surprised to see his master and sister so respectful to Gu Yan, and looked at Gu Yan with strange eyes.
Han Ying seemed to be very casual with him, and said: "Wen Yang, this is a senior from the sea, the cultivation is profound, don't be lazy, go and serve." ”
Wen Yang responded crisply, and then led Gu Yan out. (To be continued)
