(21) Departure and beginning

"Ah, go quickly, don't go back to the floating jade!"

"Ah, you're wanted, don't say you're Qianchen!"

"Ahh

…

"Ahh

"We'll definitely meet again."

A tear slipped from the boy's eyes, crystal like dew.

Ahh

She clutched the silver bells and stumbled to the ground, struggling to move on the road to a small town, like a drunk who couldn't find a home.

The pictures that Yun Ao poured into her mind flashed one after another, what was that? It was her relatives who were tied to the stake, burned by the flames, and their faces distorted; It is the head that rolls off under the executioner's knife, and the soul under the soldier's steel knife......

She burst into tears, like a wounded beast, and wept uncontrollably.

It was dark and slippery, and she rolled down the stone steps, her nose and face were swollen and her head was bleeding, and she was only quiet for a moment, the pain pricked her nerves, and she roared and cried like vents. The sound alarmed the mountain birds, and they flew up in a flutter.

It seems that just yesterday, A-Niang gently sorted out her outfits: "Aji, you have to be careful when you go to the emperor, there is no better than the medicine clan, don't make trouble." You go there to practice, and don't make extraneous complications. You are going to take over the Medicine Clan in the future, and you have to restrain your brothers and sisters. ”

"Mother, I understand. Don't you know me yet? Peace of mind, peace of mind. She bit down on a peach, "I'll finish my practice well and come back to eat your pickled green plums!" ”

"You, you're so capable, why don't you pack your own luggage..."

"Hee-hee, mother, don't I want to enjoy my mother's love, I've grown up, I haven't enjoyed your love for a long time~" She sprinkled coquettishly, put down the peach and hugged A-Niang from behind.

"You... What will I do if I get married in the future? Ah Niang packed the salute, turned around and hugged her, "I hope Ah Sheng can take care of you..."

"Mother! Don't worry, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and I don't have any problems at all. She secretly left a lipstick mark on her mother's cheek.

"Wild girl, you are naughty!"

A-Niang scratched her nose and said angrily.

It was the day before departure.

She never thought that it would be the last time she saw A-Niang!

The refining body was very painful, she persevered, thinking to herself, if she gets through, she will always be able to go home, and it will not be more painful later.

When she raised the butcher's knife in front of her relatives, although she shed tears, she still fought with them with all her might, just because she had a thought in her heart - go home!

Now, she's finally free.

It's just that she doesn't have a home anymore.

She struggled to her feet, feeling pain all over her body. But it's not safe here, and there's a high chance that you'll be infested with monsters in the middle of the night.

Only to go to town first.

With her previous experience in refining medicine, she found a small handful of edible herbs, didn't care about getting dirty, wiped off the dirt and stuffed it into her mouth.

She sobered up a bit, and continued walking towards the dimly lit place.

Finally arriving in the town, Qianchen searched for the market in the center of the town. Even when it's dark, red lanterns hang in front of the market, and the lights are warm and reassuring.

She dragged over a roll of straw and spread it out to make a floor. She lay down softly and curled up. She tried her best to imagine that she was in the medicine clan's home, with A-Niang's warm body lying beside her.

It won't be cold, it won't be cold.

The straw could not fully withstand the cold underground, and at sunrise the weather was even colder.

Qianchen woke up in a daze, only to see two copper coins in front of him.

It turned out that he was treated as a beggar...

The vendors have already started to set up their shops, and customers have already come to buy groceries. There is also the aroma of pancakes.

Qianchen felt hungry.

She picked up the two copper coins and took a look at the empire that she was supposed to be in Chirou nowβ€”alongside the floating jade.

What can you buy with two copper coins?

Qianchen didn't have time to think about this before he realized that he was surrounded.

It's a bunch of ragged and unkempt beggars.

"Hey, where are you from? This is our territory, don't you know? The beggar at the head leaned on a bamboo pole and said gloomily, "Pay five hundred wen, we can let you negotiate with us." Otherwise..."

"How else?" Qianchen spoke calmly.

"Otherwise," he smiled sinisterly, "teach you to regret coming into this world." ”

"It's not easy for everyone to make a living, so why be aggressive?" Qianchen stood up, and although his face was covered with blood and mud, he looked very dusty, not like a beggar.

"Then you're looking for deathβ€”" The beggar at the head held up a bamboo pole.

Qianchen chuckled.

She was about to use her spiritual power to teach these Diao people a good lesson, but in an instant, she felt the pain of backlash.

What's going on?

Something must be broken in me...

She thought, and finally fell limply to the ground, closing her eyes.

"Hey, why are there so many beggars here?" A woman led two young men to pass by, "Qinglian, go and see what's going on." ”

The young man in the lotus white robe is named Gu Qinglian, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a jade tree in the wind, a handsome spirit, and all his gestures are elegant and solemn.

He clenched his fists and said, "Yes, Shi Niang." ”

In a short time he returned, with a serious face, and whispered a few words in the woman's ear.

"What? How could such a thing happen? The woman was furious, "Ah Qing, go with your senior brother and drive them away." ”

The young man in the black robe was named Ji Qing. He is far less pleasing to the eye than Gu Qinglian, but his face is always gloomy, and he seems to be able to drip water, and his figure is not as tall as the latter, but he is a little hunched and slightly chunched.

"That's... Do you want to teach them a lesson? Ji Qing asked.

The woman shook her head: "No, just drive away." ”

After all, the monks of the Imperial Sect must not harm mortals for no reason.

Gu Qinglian had to pretend to be a security guard at the bazaar, shouting as he ran:

"Hey, what are you doing!"

Sure enough, hearing this shout, the beggars scattered in a hurry, leaving only a thousand dusts curled up.

The woman wore a fox fur cloak, and as she approached, she slowly squatted down, pulled out one of the hand warmers, and put it on Qianchen's forehead.

Qianchen had already fallen to the point that his head was broken, his nose was blue, his face was swollen, and he was beaten by the group again, and his dignity was really not flattering. Her right hand was smashed into a blur of flesh and blood, just because after the beggars beat her, they wanted to take away the silver bell, but they couldn't break Qianchen's fingers, so they picked up a stone and smashed it, always thinking that they could take out the silver thing, but they were interrupted by Gu Qinglian and them.

Qianchen was confused, his body hurt, his right hand hurt too, and his head hurt too...

Blood was in her eyes, and she couldn't see anything clearly.

The woman's gentle touch made her feel like she was in a dream.

"Mother," she murmured.

The woman was stunned.

Then a dreamy look appeared on his face.

She gently hugged Qianchen's injured head, ignoring the dirt on it, but gently comforted: "Good child, there is nothing to be afraid of in my mother's arms, sleep obediently, sleep obediently, and everything will be fine when you wake up." ”

She sang a soft tune.

Qianchen's tense body gradually relaxed. The beggars' right hand, which had never been smashed open by a sharp stone, slowly relaxed at this time, revealing a delicate silver bell.

Gu Qinglian and Ji Qing were very moved when they looked at her.

Since Shi Niang's miscarriage, she lost her child and injured the inner house, and it is difficult to get pregnant. After all, it is not only in man but also in providence to produce a new life. In order to avoid the risk of catastrophe, the master did not dare to use medicine to make her forcibly pregnant.

Therefore, Shi Niang has always had a long-cherished wish, that is, to give birth to her own child.

"Qinglian, let's see how this kid is." The woman stopped chanting, and a sense of loneliness appeared on her face.

Gu Qinglian heard the words and hurriedly took Qianchen's pulse, but his brows slowly wrinkled.

"How?"

"It doesn't matter if I'm injured, the fever is also because of the injuries on the head and right hand... It's just..."Gu Qinglian didn't dare to assert.

"What's wrong?" It was not common for women to see Gu Qinglian showing such a look.

"This kid is a sin... But she... It seems that there are two spiritual roots... But these two spiritual roots will antagonize each other, this is unreasonable..."Gu Qing even said his judgment word by word. Also, often the monks of the Twin Spirit Roots will not fight with their own spiritual power, and this is really the first time he has seen himself use his spiritual power to put himself down.

"Then what should I do," the woman was a little worried, "or take it back for your master to see?" ”

Gu Qinglian thought about it for a moment and said, "The apprentice is not sure that he can heal her. If Master can't help, then no one in the world can save her. It's just, Master, I'm afraid this kid has a complicated background, and it may be possible to bring it back..."

"Qinglian, don't say it, I know." The woman simply interrupted him and said, "Count to fifty, and I'll think about it." ”

One, two, three...

Gu Qinglian counted them one by one, and the woman closed her eyes.

twenty-eight

"Stop!" The woman opened her eyes, "Qinglian, don't count." We brought her back. ”

Gu Qinglian nodded, and didn't argue anything, but beckoned Ji Qing to help put Qianchen on his back.

"Senior brother, why don't you carry it on my back?" Ji Qing leaned over, "You can do it for me again on the way up the mountain." ”

Gu Qinglian nodded: "Okay, then I'll work hard for you first." ”

The woman said to herself, "Your master has been in the Imperial Sect for so long, and he has become the elder in charge, can't he even shelter a little girl?" ”

"If he can't even do this, he won't have to take you with him."

Gu Qinglian smiled bitterly: "Master, it's not easy for master." Compared to the other two elders in charge, our sect is already sparsely populated, and Master doesn't often accept disciples..."

"Hmph, what about Da Tianzun, I'm not afraid of him anyway." The woman stuck out her tongue coquettishly, "This child has called me mother, I want this daughter." ”

Yuzong, located in the mountains of Chongming, has spiritual veins under it, and has a strong aura, which is the heavenly mansion for monks to practice in their hearts. Countless immortal families want to send their children to the Imperial Sect to practice, but the elders of the Imperial Sect have a very high threshold for accepting apprentices, and sometimes they don't look at cultivation, but look at the edges of their eyes.

And to enter the Imperial Sect, you have to start from the miscellaneous disciples, so that you can be promoted step by step to the outer gate, the inner door, and the core disciples.
