Chapter 67: Dingqi
"What do you think?" Wang Jiulan asked piously, and Xiao Linger answered honestly:
"I think Honghong's girl is good, she can play with him and grow up with him. Jiubai felt that she was pitiful, and often went to see her, speaking of which, you didn't even know that your brother ran to the Qinglou every day, and said that he couldn't help it, alas! "This Wang Jiulan, it's really derelict to be a brother.
"Ahem...... Is it mine no, I always thought ...... Alas, I'm really, so badly when you say that. "Looking at Jiulan's forehead, Jiubai actually ran to the Qinglou? He also thought that Jiubai had been in the academy.
"However, there's something wrong with that Honghong, I don't know if you can see it?" As soon as Xiao Ling'er saw her, she felt that something was wrong, and she couldn't say what was wrong.
"The birthmark on her face." Wang Jiulan said categorically, "That looks like a birthmark, but as soon as she came in, I found that it was definitely not a birthmark." ”
"Huh? You mean Honghong, not a birthmark? Jiubai, who had been hiding behind and eavesdropping on the two of them, pulled Honghong and walked out.
"Well, you ask her to come over, I'll see." Wang Jiulan and Xiao Ling'er were not surprised, Jiubai thought he was hiding well, but the footsteps didn't come out, and he stupidly thought that he was hiding well, hiding behind the pillar and eavesdropping on them.
"Huh?" Xiao Ling'er looked at the birthmark on Honghong's face, under the blue light of Wangjiulan's fingers, it was like a living thing quickly twisted, and finally condensed into a sesame-sized tear mole, dotted under her eyes, but Honghong didn't know what was going on.
"Yikes! Honghong, you're so beautiful! Jiubai looked at the red and red without the birthmark, she was skinny, and there was a very beautiful face hidden under the birthmark, which was not like a person, like a beautiful demon.
"Really?" Honghong looked at their surprised gazes and couldn't help but touch her face.
"Let's go, I have a mirror in my house!" As he spoke, Jiubai pulled the red red kick and tapped away, and this time he really ran away.
Wang Jiulan looked at Xiao Ling'er thoughtfully, and asked, "Can you guess what she is?" ”
"Sharks?" Xiao Ling'er watched Honghong run, that unnatural appearance, just like ...... A fish with legs separated.
"It should be, but not exactly." On the tips of Jiulan's fingers, there was a slight black powder in the blue light.
"As I guessed, she should be a descendant of a human and a merman, a half-merman. The genes of the merman are particularly strong, and as long as they are born to a merman, they will generally have the characteristics of the merman. It has no legs but a fishtail and gills in its ears. But this Honghong didn't have it, and she covered her face with a secret technique, who should have covered her identity with a secret technique. Wangjiu Lan burned the black powder into nothingness.
"Mystic? But shouldn't mermaids have legs? Zimo said that he was born like that, and there was no fishtail at the coming-of-age ceremony.
Xiao Linger once wanted to see his fishtail, but he just wouldn't show it...... also bullied her hard, alas, the master doesn't care, it's sad to think about it.
"Who said that? Sharks are born to be fishtails, and every merman needs to be an adult if he wants to have legs, and if he is not an adult, there is only one way. ”
"Split?" Xiao Ling'er looked at Wang Jiulan in surprise and nodded, her heart was cold, no wonder.
In the courtyard, in the pool, Honghong looked at Wang Jiulan and Xiao Ling'er a little strangely, silently walked into the water, and then looked back at them.
"Huh? It hasn't changed, didn't you say that sharks can turn into fish when they enter the water? Xiao Ling'er looked at Wang Jiulan, and he was also puzzled.
"Honghong, you...... Remember how your legs came from? Wang Jiulan just knew that Honghong was raised by an old beggar when she was a child.
Later, the old beggar was gone, and she was sold to the Qinglou by traffickers, the Qinglou didn't want such an ugly thing, but it didn't stand up to the red and red does have a bit of beauty, and the price is very low, just a few dollars, or stay first, in case there is a chance in the future in addition to the birthmark, it will be worth it?
Honghong shook her head and rolled up her pants.
Xiao Ling'er looked at the leg full of scars, and there was a thin black scar on it, just on the inside of the leg, and the entire black line from top to bottom was especially obvious on the white skin.
"Sure enough." Sure enough, it was split!
Thinking of the young merman, if he wants to have legs as soon as possible, he has to split his tail alive from his spine, and there will be a ninety percent chance of failure, Xiao Ling'er shook her head unbearably, Honghong is probably like this.
"Grandpa said that when I was a child, I was a slope boy and couldn't walk. Later, I gradually became able to walk, but as soon as I walked, the line on my leg bleeds. Honghong stood in the water and pointed to the line.
"Well, when I'm not busy, I'll find your relatives for you, Honghong...... Is this the name that the old man gave you? Wang Jiulan asked.
"Honghong is not the name given to me by my grandfather, my grandfather called me Ah Li, and when I arrived in the Qinglou, there were several girls like me, some were named Cuicui, and Ah Zi, Ah Bai, Ah Lu, and I was Honghong."
"The technique of this name is really convenient, colorful and casual." Xiao Ling'er felt a little funny, but she felt a little pitiful.
Wang Jiulan smiled: "Then would you rather call it Honghong or Ah Li?"
She shook her head and said, "The old man said that there must always be separation, so he called Ah Li...... But I don't want to be separated from him......" Honghong said and lowered her head, tears falling into the water.
Xiao Ling'er glanced at it, there was no shark bead.
Wang Jiulan sighed: "My mother has always had a regret, that is, she doesn't have a sister. Jiubai, what do you think of Honghong? ”
Wang Jiubai jumped up happily, "Honghong, you will be my sister after Honghong!" Ha ha. ”
Xiao Ling'er glanced at Jiulan, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "You don't know, the merman is one year old, but we are three to five years, and in total, Honghong is older than both of you."
Xiao Ling'er looked at Jiulan teasingly, and he reacted at this time, but he pretended to cough twice as if nothing happened, and then lowered his head and asked:
"What do you think?"
Both of them saw Jiubai's happy appearance, dancing with their hands, Honghong was sure that she didn't have to go back to the Qinglou, and she was also smiling happily, Xiao Ling'er smiled: "I think this is very good, if you can accompany these two children more, it will be better." Wang Jiulan looked at Xiao Ling'er, who was only ten years old, and shook his head, "It's the same as you are not a child." ”
At this time, Xiao Ling'er was pulled by Jiubai, and she circled around with Honghong, and the three of them surrounded Wang Jiulan, making a fuss.
"Brother! After that, Honghong will be the same as us, the nine-character generation, called Jiuhong, how about it? Jiubai asked him loudly.
Wang Jiulan looked at the three of them surrounding him, his face was full of happiness, innocent, and couldn't help laughing, they were really all children!
"You're not much different from those Qinglou names, ha!" Xiao Ling'er smiled, looking at Jiubai with an embarrassed look, but heard Honghong say loudly: "I like it!" "My face was red with excitement, and there was sweat on my face.
Until Jiubai took Jiuhong and changed clothes with the plain-clothed woman, the laughter gradually disappeared, and only Xiao Linger and Wang Jiulan were left in the courtyard.
Wang Jiulan watched Jiubai and them walk away, and suddenly remembered, "Ling'er, do you know what I've been busy with lately?" ”
Xiao Ling'er: "I know, isn't it the birth of the fifth devil, the master told me before he went down the mountain."
Wang Jiulan's face sank: "This time may not be the same."
Xiao Ling'er raised her head when she heard this, and saw Wang Jiulan, who had a somewhat dignified look, and continued:
"This time, the fifth devil was born in Youzhou, near the imperial city. My people inquired and found out that the Northern Fuyao faction that was once destroyed by Xuan Ji was in Youzhou, but now something happened there. I can't figure out who the fifth demon is, but I have to tell you something, the chief disciple of your Taixu Sect, Lin Rongchen, has been involved, and it may not be a trivial matter. ”
"What? Big brother? Xiao Ling'er looked at Jiulan in disbelief, her eyes widening.
Lin Rongchen is their senior brother and Xiaoshan's eldest disciple. The only son of Elder Thirteen Niang of the Array Hall, when the inner disciple trial was just a few months ago, Lin Rongchen also presided over the inner disciple trial.
As a former figure, everyone knows the disciples of Taixu Sect, but the younger disciples are the first time to see him, and Xiao Ling'er is also the first time to see him in person. Proud as the sun but approachable, a man with dark cloud sleeves, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, love to laugh, like a warm wind.
Xiao Ling'er had heard that because this senior brother admired his master when he was a child, he had to go to the back mountain to be like his master, and only bring a dagger to the hunting ground, saying that he would go through the same tempering before going to apprentice to the master. Outcome...... The little fart child jumped in, came out crying, and everyone laughed, before Xiao Xiao, Lin Rongchen was the pistachio of Taixu Sect!
"I don't know when the Fuyao faction started to use tripod weapons. At first, it was sneaky, but later it was used with great fanfare, and some people around followed suit and did a lot of hurtful things. Xuan Ji was born there, although the blood flowed like a river back then, but it also returned a clean place in Youzhou. Wang Jiulan was still looking at the sky, and she couldn't hear Xiao Ling'er's reply for a long time, so she looked down at her.
"What is a tripod?" She asked curiously, but saw that Wang Jiulan was stunned, and suddenly her face turned red, very embarrassed.
"Dingqi...... It is...... Well, using the method of double cultivation of yin and evil, the other party's cultivation is transferred to himself, and most of them are women as the object of sacrifice. Of course, there are also men, and the sacrificed person is the tripod. Wang Jiulan couldn't help but sweat a little in his head, he just said that he knew with her, how could he think about how old Ling'er was, how could he know such a thing?
"Oh, the method of double cultivation? I remember that the book says that the method of double cultivation is beneficial to the mind and body, but when you say this, this method is really vicious. And what about later? ”
"Later...... Afterward. Wang Jiulan thought about it for a long time, and finally remembered that later.
Later, the tripod was popular, and they were more and more dissatisfied with ordinary women as tripods, so they went to hunt demons. Demons are not only faster than mortals, but they can also be used more than once, and they can be used all the time after they are raised. After the Fuyao faction was destroyed, the method of the tripod still existed, and this time Lin Rongchen was entangled with the tripod of a Laoshizi Jianyang real person. It is said that the woman was originally an ancient orchid in the mountains, and when she first gained her spiritual sense, she was picked by Jianyang Zhenren who happened to pass by, and it was nothing, but after this orchid essence was formed, she ran away. It doesn't matter if you run, your senior brother just passed by. Wang Jiulan sighed, the hero is sad to pass the beauty pass.
"Senior Brother Lin, what did he do?" Xiao Ling'er is really curious, according to the cultivation of the senior brother, it is okay to walk sideways in the world, is it possible to be afraid of a little real person?
