Chapter 138, the two women are-for-tat
In the evening, outside the gate of Taixu Palace, a woman in green clothes wearing a hat to cover her face came with two maids riding a green bird.
"Who is here? The Taixu Palace is in a state of readiness and does not welcome outsiders. The disciple of the mountain guard said coldly.
The woman in Tsing Yi responded: "This fellow Daoist, I am Zhong Ning, the chief disciple of the Divine Fire Palace, and I came to your sect today to ask to see Ying Longwei's Xiduoduo Daoyou, and I also asked Daoyou to go and make an announcement." ”
Seeing that the comer was not here to make trouble, the disciple said, "You just wait outside the door, and I will go and inform you." ”
Zhong Ning thanked him, and then watched the disciples of the mountain guard leave.
Soon the disciples of the mountain guard and Duoduo arrived, and Ren Yingying came with them.
Zhong Ning saw one of the men walking in the center like a starry moon, and guessed that he must be the one he wanted to see. I saw her take off her hat, and a peerless face appeared in front of people.
"Presumably you are a happy Taoist friend, that day you and the rescue army walked in a hurry, and my sect did not have anything to give to express gratitude, and now I am ordered by the master to come to give a spiritual talisman to the happy Taoist friend, and please don't dislike it. As he spoke, Zhong Ning took out a handful of spirit runes from the storage bag and handed it to Duoduo.
Duoduo distracted himself to probe the spirit rune in the other party's hand, and saw that there were teleportation talismans for escaping, there were also powerful storm talismans, and psychedelic talismans that confused the enemy, etc., and suddenly felt that the Shenhuo Palace was not not strong enough, but that the time of existence was too short, if they were given enough time, they would definitely be able to cultivate enough disciples, and then it was not impossible for the Shenhuo Palace to rank among the first-class cultivation sects.
Duoduo took the spirit talisman in the other party's hand, took a closer look at Zhong Ning, and saw that this woman's appearance was no worse than Ren Yingying, which made Duoduo inevitably have a lot of thoughts in his heart. It's just that he can't show it too obviously, otherwise the other party will be aware of his intentions. So he immediately planned:
As the saying goes, 'It's better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish.'" I am the most humble of all, and I am a man who loves fishing. Daoist friends have given me so many spirit runes, and the day when they will eventually run out, instead of waiting for the day when they run out, why don't you ask Daoyou to teach me the method of refining spirit runes?"
Zhong Ning was a little hesitant, she didn't want to refuse the other party in person, and it was not easy to agree to the other party, so she said: "I have to report to the master before I can make a decision, why don't I use these spirit talismans first, and then give the Taoist friend an answer when I go back to report to the master?"
Duoduo shook his head and said: "This place is not close to the Divine Fire Palace, and it is extremely troublesome to come and go, not to mention that the girl has two maids, why should you go back and ask in person." I think it's better for the girl to stay in the Taixu Palace first, and after your maid goes back and gets the opinion of Lord Jinhuo, she won't be in a hurry to come back and tell each other. ”
Speaking of this, Duoduo looked at Ren Yingying and asked, "Miss Yingying, there are still guest rooms in Taixu Palace, right?"
Ren Yingying naturally wouldn't let Duoduo be disappointed, and responded: "There are still some guest rooms in the Taixu Palace, as long as Miss Zhong Ning doesn't dislike it, you can live with peace of mind." ”
Duoduo laughed and said, "Okay, it's decided, Miss Zhong Ning, and then you will teach me how to refine the spirit rune." ”
Zhong Ning knew that he couldn't shirk any longer, so he had to say, "Okay, then I'll teach Daoist friends to carve the runes needed for the spirit runes first." ”
In the Divine Fire Palace, carving a rune is the simplest and most basic condition, if the rune is not well depicted, she will have an excuse to refuse to learn more runes.
In this way, Zhong Ning is now living in the Taixu Palace for the time being, and let Ren Yingying arrange the other party's residence, while he continues to refine the pill.
Ren Yingying introduced Zhong Ning into a guest room, and suddenly her attitude changed greatly.
"Shenhuo Palace, your hands are stretched long enough!" Ren Yingying said coldly. In her opinion, the other party is not only here to send spirit talismans, but also for a more important purpose, this purpose is to win over the Red Armor Ying Longwei, more precisely, it is to win over Xi Duoduo, Xi Duoduo can rescue the Taixu Palace, and naturally he can also ask for help from the Shenhuo Palace, so it is clear how the palace master of the Shenhuo Palace thinks.
Zhong Ning saw that the other party's tone was not good, and asked, "Daoyou Ren, we don't seem to have a grudge, why do you want to talk to me in this tone? Besides, do you need your consent to do things in my Divine Fire Palace? This is too funny." ”
Ren Yingying responded: "Naturally, I don't need my consent to do things in the Divine Fire Palace, but you'd better not fight the idea of Xi Daoyou, Xi Daoyou is the dragon and phoenix among people, and it is not something that a woman like you can touch." ”
Zhong Ning didn't expect that the other party turned out to be Xi Duoduo's crush, she was not interested in Duoduo originally, but at this time, she was aroused by the other party's words, and deliberately said: "That's right, I just want to beat Xi Daoyou's idea, maybe in the future we will develop into a fairy couple, what can you do with me?"
"You, stinky and shameless!" Ren Yingying was angry with Zhong Ning's words, and the vulgar words burst out, "Let's see!"
After saying this, she turned to leave, and did not even have time to tell the maid to bring bedding and food to the other party.
Zhong Ning pulled back a game and smiled proudly, "Fight with me, little girl, you are still a little tender." ”
But when she walked into the room, she found that there was nothing inside, only an empty bed.
"This little girl is ruthless enough, and she won't give me a bed for the futon. ”
Now that the maid followed Ren Yingying away, Zhong Ning had to take out an animal skin from the storage bag and put it on the bed board, it was impossible to lie down and rest.
In this way, Zhong Ning meditated on the animal skin all night. The next morning, a maid came.
"Miss Zhong, Xidaoyou, please come over. The maid knocked on the door and said loudly at the door.
"Got it, you wait for me. Zhong Ning's voice came from inside the door.
After a while, Zhong Ning opened the door and went to Duoduo's residence with the maid.
When he came to Duoduo's residence, what Zhong Ning didn't expect was where Ren Yingying was already there.
I saw that the other party brought good wine and meat, and the one who served a lot was called comfortable.
"Yo, Ren Daoyou's concern for Xi Daoyou is really meticulous, not only do I not have a futon, but I also don't have a pot of water, it seems that I am really unpopular. Zhong Ning was also straightforward and had something to say, but in order not to offend Ren Yingying, her words were not named, so that the people present could also hear it in a fog.
Duoduo heard that there was no mattress on the other party's bed, and he was immediately a little distressed, and said with concern: "Zhong Daoyou, this may be the maid of the Taixu Palace who forgot it carelessly, I have a futon here for you to use, I don't like to sleep on the bed very much on weekdays, and it is superfluous to keep it." You came at the right time, there is wine and meat here, how about I give you this master to pick up the wind and wash the dust, and after dinner, we will start to learn the art of runes?"
Zhong Ning nodded and responded, "Okay!"
Then Zhong Ning unceremoniously moved his chopsticks to eat, not caring about Ren Yingying's murderous eyes.
Although Duoduo was also eating breakfast, he soon discovered that the second daughter was wrong, and the two daughters' eyes were for tat, and no one gave in. However, the two daughters are the people he wants, and at this time, which side he favors may hurt the other party, rather than offending one of them, he might as well pretend not to see it and eat by himself.
After breakfast, Zhong Ning began to teach Duoduo to carve runes.
If it was yesterday, Zhong Ning might have taught Duoduo to carve runes indiscriminately, but after experiencing Ren Yingying's special treatment last night, she decided to teach Duoduo seriously, hoping to win the favor of the other party.
It's just that Zhong Ning underestimated a lot of understanding, this sacrificial spirit talisman and alchemy, forging weapons and equipment all require divine soul qualifications, the higher the divine soul qualifications, the easier it is to learn these technical methods.
With Zhong Ning's teaching, Duoduo quickly understood how to carve runes. By the time night fell, Duoduo had already learned all the basic runes.
"Xi Daoyou, I didn't expect you to learn the method of carving runes so quickly, and I will teach you the sacrifice of primary spirit runes tomorrow. It's getting late, and it's time for me to go back and rest. Zhong Ning got up and said goodbye.
Duoduo hurriedly said: "Zhong Daoyou, don't worry, you have worked hard to teach me to carve runes, I haven't thanked you yet, why don't you eat here with me tonight." ”
Zhong Ning excused himself and said: "You and I are lonely men and widows, how can we have dinner together, let's have another day!"
At this moment, Ren Yingying arrived, and when she saw Zhong Ning refusing, she followed the other party's words and said, "Zhong Daoyou's dinner has already been served, so Xi Daoyou doesn't have to worry about her being hungry." ”
Duoduo smiled and said: "Ren Daoyou is really timely, you all have dinner with me tonight, I let Jiulian and Yueyue go out hunting early in the morning, presumably they will return soon, how about we eat game and taste wine together tonight?"
Zhong Ning immediately responded: "Since this is the case, then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and there are friends who are happy with Laoxi." ”
Ren Yingying saw that the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, and she didn't know how to deal with it at this time, so she sulked and said: "Since Xi Daoyou wants to feast Zhong Daoyou, I won't bother." ”
How could Duoduo let her leave, and dissuaded: "Ren Daoyou, you don't know, I liked to walk alone before, so I studied the game in the mountains. For example, the pheasant roasted in the mountains is eaten with cumin and chili powder, and the taste is simply unforgettable. There is also a wild boar in the mountains, this thing has a bit of a smell, if you use hot water to copy it again and then barbecue, and then put cumin and chili powder, it is best to have a little pepper, the taste is simply watery. There are other game meats, each with a different way of roasting, so please stay and taste my barbecue, and after you eat it, make sure you want to eat it again. ”
Ren Yingying eats coarse tea and light rice on weekdays, and she is not extravagant for meat, but after hearing Duoduo say this, her taste buds have been successfully activated. What's more, she also wanted to see what tricks Zhong Ning played, so she responded: "Since that's the case, then I'll taste how delicious Xi Daoyou's barbecue is." ”
Duoduo grinned and said, "That's right, you two sit down first, and I'll go see if Yueyue and them have come back." ”
Just as he was about to leave, Shan Yueyue and Ye Jiulian came back happily.
"Husband, we're back, you see Sister Yueyue and I have caught a lot of game. Jiulian said loudly.
Then Jiulian handed over the spirit beast bag to Duoduo, the prey in this spirit beast bag was mostly living creatures, including a lot of pheasants, hares, and wild boars, and there were many other prey, Duoduo was too lazy to care so much, he promised Ren Yingying and Zhong Ning to roast pheasants for them, and the delicacy of pheasants was naturally indispensable tonight.
So Duoduo took out ten pheasants, and then killed them and removed the feathers and entrails.
After a while, ten pheasants were processed, and then Duoduo took out the alchemy furnace to roast game.
It was not strange for Yueyue to see Duoduo using the alchemy furnace to roast game, but it was the first time that Jiulian and Zhong Ning and the other three girls saw it, and they immediately felt that Duoduo was really overkill by using the alchemy furnace as an oven.
"Husband, you don't need to be so exaggerated when you roast pheasants, do you? Jiulian quipped.
Duoduo smiled and responded: "The lady doesn't know, the game roasted in the alchemy oven tastes better, and you will know later." ”
