Chapter 19: Leaving Home
After this, Changxing had no intention of cultivating, so he simply sat cross-legged on the couch, and took out an earthy yellow palm-sized purse from his arms, which was the storage bag issued by the family when he drew qi into his body, Changxing looked at it over and over, opened the storage bag, reached out, and took out all his belongings.
Changxing looked at the two lower grade spirit stones, a small porcelain bottle, and a white jade box in front of him.
Sighing lowly, Changxing rubbed his face irritably, he was really poor.
The two lower-grade spirit stones are the degree distributed by the family since they introduced qi into the body - one lower-grade spirit stone every year, Changxing picked up the spirit stone, held it in the palm of his hand, felt the spiritual energy inside, and put the spirit stone into the storage bag.
Changxing picked up the small porcelain bottle again, uncorked it, poured it out, and there were three more snow-white pills in his palm-'Jade. Muscle pills', sniffed lightly, fragrant, this elixir should be worth a few spirit stones, Changxing secretly thought to himself, it can't be sold at a price in Xiushui Town, and when it arrives in Yunfei City or Zixiamen, it is estimated that it can sell a few more spirit stones.
Changxing put away the 'jade. Muscle pills', picked up the white jade box again, it was empty, Changxing carefully rubbed the box, the feel was very delicate and warm, Changxing through the clothes, stroking the piece of purple jade hanging on his chest, after the purple jade was worn on his body, this box was useless, but this was the first thing his mother gave her, Changxing still cherished the box and put it into the storage bag.
Changxing got up and sighed again, hey!
For three days in a row, Grandma and Xiaoque were busy with their feet not touching the ground, and Changxing also helped to cut dresses and make all kinds of food, but in two or three days, Changxing's shriveled storage bag was full.
On the night of the third day, Changxing lay on the bed early, tossed and turned, got up quietly, got dressed, and went to the back mountain and Luomu Cliff.
Changxing stood at the bottom of the cliff for a long time, looking at the dark cliff wall, letting the night wind blow her dress to the sound of hunting, and after half an hour, she knelt down on the spot, kowtowed three times, and said in a low voice: "Mother, I'm going to Zixiamen, this time, I don't know how long it will take to see each other again, my daughter only hopes that you can achieve success in cultivation and ascend to the fairy world as soon as possible." ”
Changxing knelt down and finished bowing, turned around and wanted to leave, but heard a soft sigh, Changxing hurriedly turned around, but saw Li Chuyan standing not far behind him, in the night breeze, her thin figure was like a trembling leaf on the branch, as if she was going to go with the wind in the next moment, in a trance.
Changxing called in a low voice: "Mother!"
Li Chuyan nodded slightly, "Hmm." When you go, you must practice diligently, and you can't leave the mountain until you build a foundation......"
Li Chuyan seemed to be hesitating what to say, speaking very slowly, looking at Changxing as she spoke, paused for a moment, and said: "Face, don't care too much, if you lose your horse, you don't know if it's a blessing?" It's not a good thing to be too beautiful in the cultivation realm...... Hello do it yourself......"
Changxing listened carefully, answered one by one, and wanted to say something, but he only felt that his throat was tight, and he couldn't say a word, the mother and daughter faced each other in the wind, and for a while, only the mountain wind was fierce, and the bright moon was lonely.
Li Chuyan paused for a while before she said lightly: "You go back." ”
Changxing looked at Li Chuyan in a daze, an inexplicable complex emotion came to her heart, after a long time, her emotions calmed down, and she suddenly wanted to ask: "Mother, don't blame me for my father's death, okay?"
But before she could say anything, Li Chuyan had already turned around and left, her wide robe fluttering in the wind, like a boat in the ocean, up and down, up and down.
On the day of departure, Changxing couldn't bear to look at Grandma and Xiaoque's reluctance and tears, did not alarm them, and went out of the yard lightly before dawn, and finally took a look at the courtyard where he had lived for fifteen years, Changxing gently closed the courtyard door and turned to leave.
In the Wisteria Garden, Xiao Que pressed her face tightly against the window frame, looked at the movement in the courtyard, and whispered with a crying voice for a while: "Grandma, Grandma, Miss is gone!"
Grandma didn't answer, and in the dark, she only heard Grandma's low, uninterrupted prayer: "Bless my young lady's wishes come true, and a smooth ......"
Changxing came to the front gate, greeted the faint morning light, took out a hat with soap yarn and put it on her head, everyone in the Meng family was used to the hideous scars on her face, but it was a little conspicuous when she went out,
Wearing this hat to block it, so as not to be too conspicuous and cause some unnecessary trouble, take the hat, look up and see a figure standing at the door, take two steps quickly, and after seeing clearly through the light and shadow, he hurriedly stepped forward and called: "Third brother!"
Changxing is different from ordinary people because of his cultivation, and he has been ridiculed by the clansmen, and he has gradually formed a loner temperament, this third brother, Changxing has only seen it from afar two or three times, so he is quite restrained.
Meng Changkong is a handsome young man, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, ranked third in the Meng family's generation, has practiced for more than 20 years, and is now a seventh-layer cultivator of Qi refining.
He seemed to see Changxing's discomfort, smiled slightly, two dimples appeared on his cheeks, and said: "Are you the ninth sister? I am a layman, I have never been able to cultivate, I only love to do business to earn spirit stones, and I am not in the mansion as an adult, but I don't know that the ninth sister is so old." ”
The warm and homely words made Changxing slightly stunned, and said with a smile, "The third brother said and laughed. ”
Meng Changkong nodded, "It's not too early, let's talk while we go." ”
In the Xihuazhou Immortal Cultivation Realm, there are many cities under the jurisdiction of the major forces, and among these cities, only a small number of cities are built on the spiritual veins, and the aura is strong, such a city is a pure immortal cultivation city, with a formation, mortals are invisible, and they cannot enter. In addition, there are most of the cities, although the scale is large, the aura is not as good as the pure cultivation of immortal cities, and the city has a mixture of immortal cultivators and mortals. Yun Fei City is a big city where immortals live together, and Xiushui Town, where the Meng family is located, is under the jurisdiction of Yun Fei City.
Zixia City is a big city under the jurisdiction of the Zixia Gate Sect, located at the foot of Zixia Gate Mountain, Zixia City is thousands of miles away, for the cultivation power, these journeys only take a few breaths. However, low-level monks could not fly with weapons, and they still had to rely on horse-drawn carriages to travel long distances, so not only did it take a long time, but they also often encountered some unknown dangers on the way. Therefore, in many cities, there are public spirit boats, as long as you pay a certain amount of spirit stones, you can take the flying boat, which not only greatly shortens the travel time, but also improves the safety factor.
Changkong proposed to take a carriage to Yunfei City first, and then find a spirit boat in Yunfei City to travel, and take a public spirit boat to Zixia City.
The two of them took a carriage, but they arrived at Yunyi City in just an hour, there was a long queue outside the city, Changxing looked at it curiously, Changkong saw this, and explained with a smile: "Monks from outside the city need to register and pay the entrance fee to enter the city before they can enter the city." ”
Changxing secretly said to himself, he still had to pay a fee, thinking that he only had two low-grade spirit stones, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Third brother, I don't know, the cost of entering the city is gold and silver or spirit stones?"
Meng Changkong has been taking care of the general affairs for many years, and he has a good eye, looking at Changxing's slightly nervous face, he knows her difficulties, sighs in his heart, and says with a smile: "Yunfei City is a big city for cultivating immortals, so it is naturally a place to collect spirit stones, and one person has two lower-grade spirit stones." The ninth sister went to Zixiamen this time, and the clan did not issue a fee, so I will pay it in advance, and in the future, my sister will have a spirit stone, and I will return it. ”
Changxing thought for a moment and took out the bottle of 'jade' from the storage bag. 'Muscle pills', handed it to Changkong, and said, "Third brother, look at this bottle of elixir, how many spirit stones can be sold?"
Meng Changkong looked at the porcelain bottle in Changxing's hand, took it and opened the cap, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently, for a moment, looked up at Changxing's face in surprise, and said in surprise: "Jade." Muscle pills?your face...... You didn't take it?"
Changxing didn't want to explain more, but said: "It's just a skin, don't be too entangled." ”
Seeing this, Meng Changkong was inconvenient to ask again, and added a little admiration and sympathy to this strange ninth sister in his heart, and said with a smile: "My sister is free and easy, but I am in love." I accepted this pill as a brother, one is ten lower-grade spirit stones, and three is thirty lower-grade spirit stones, and I will give you the spirit stones. Changkong said that he was about to take the storage bag.
Changxing hurriedly stopped: "Third brother, I don't want to sell it to you! You don't have to ......."
Seeing this, Meng Changkong smiled and said: "Have you forgotten what the third brother does, since you want to sell it, you might as well sell it to me, and wait until I get it to Zixia City, where it is next to Zixia Gate, there are many more female cultivators than Yunqi City, this type of pill is very scarce, and the price is much higher than this Yunqi City." If my sister thinks the price is low......"
Changxing didn't wait for Changkong to finish speaking, hurriedly waved his hand, and said: "It's sold to the third brother, the third brother of Lingshi doesn't have to give it first, it costs a lot along the way, so it will be offset against the travel expenses, if there is any surplus, it will be returned to me, if it is not enough, please also ask the third brother to pad it first, and I will pay it back in the future." ”
Meng Changkong nodded secretly, this ninth sister is not twisted, she is a free and easy person!
Although they cannot cultivate, they can live in the realm of cultivating immortals with abundant spiritual energy since childhood, how can they be willing to return to the world? Over time, such a city where immortals and mortals live together, will form such a city where immortals and mortals live together. But immortals are different, although the city lord allows them to live, but they are also distinct, cultivators and mortals do not interfere with each other, each has its own living area, Meng Changkong took Changxing all the way to the Xiuzhen market in the east of the city, through a few alleys, Meng Changkong stopped at a shadow wall in the alley, Changxing curiously watched Changkong play the magic tricks in his hand one by one, the shadow wall in front of him was distorted and illusory, surprised, but also understood that this was the formation!
