Chapter 17: Another Chicken Rib?
Some of the people of Ping'an City were awakened by all kinds of noisy voices early in the morning, and after asking each other, they learned that it was a nearby old man who had been robbed and rushed to the morning report officer. The onlookers couldn't help but talk in private, from the usual people of those old men to the recent concubine affairs, they always turned around on the word wealth, which is also the favorite conversation of the people living in the rich and peaceful Ping'an City.
After all, the excitement was only a temporary pastime, and after a short discussion, everyone dispersed to go about their own livelihoods. The streets are filled with early morning vendors selling breakfast, and the smell of hot buns is overflowing, whetting the appetite of passers-by.
"Uncle, bring me six big meat buns. Wang Yanxi smelled the aroma of steamed buns on the street, and her stomach was already rumbling with hunger, so she followed the aroma to find a stall selling steamed buns and said to the vendor.
"That, Yan Xi, I can't eat so much, two will be fine. Chen An, who followed behind him, hurriedly said, Wang Yanxi glanced back at Chen An in surprise, and suddenly said, "Ah, cousin, I forgot that you were also there." Then he turned to the vendor and said, "Uncle, then there are two more big meat buns." ”
Chen An was speechless, and his perception of this cousin in his heart changed a little. "Cousin, pay. Wang Yanxi patted Chen An's arm and gestured. "Didn't you bring silver taels?" Chen An's head was big, remembering that he was pulled out by Wang Yanxi before he woke up, and he left the money bag in the room in a hurry. Wang Yanxi shook his head pitifully.
"That's... Shopkeeper, I don't have any money with me right now, so I'll send it to you later. Chen An said helplessly. Wang Yanxi, who was on the side, took a careful bite of the hot bun and nodded hurriedly.
"Hehe, this son, don't worry, Miss Wang Yanxi, I know, you go, someone will pay for it later." The shopkeeper smiled and waved his hand.
Chen An glanced at Wang Yanxi, and said in his heart: "Then I will follow this girl out in the future, wouldn't I have to go out with Yinliang." Then Chen An thanked the store and thought about it.
"By the way, Yan Xi, is there something wrong with you pulling me out so early. Chen An saw Wang Yanxi wandering aimlessly on the streets, and wondered. "Something so big happened yesterday, don't you want to come out and take a look?" Wang Yanxi took the last bite of the bun and replied.
"No, I want to go back to sleep. Chen An was sleepy at this time, turned around and walked back, but was pulled by Wang Yanxi. "Don't, cousin, come with me again. Wang Yanxi pleaded.
Chen An tried to break free, and found that he couldn't break free of Wang Yanxi's tightly grasped hands with his own strength, Chen An looked at Wang Yanxi's pitiful eyes with a little cunning at this time, sighed and said, "Then let's go." ”
Wang Yanxi smiled happily and pulled Chen An forward. At this time, the number of pedestrians on the streets gradually increased, and the two walked aimlessly, except for the fact that there were some cracks in the ground of some streets, there was nothing different from usual.
As the two passed by an alley, a voice came from above, "Then Housheng, look this way." ”
Chen An followed the sound and saw a young man lying on the ridge of the room in front of him on the left, holding on to the bricks and tiles on the ridge with both hands, kneeling on both sides of the ridge on his hind legs, looking at Chen An with an expectant face. Seeing Chen An look up, he stretched out a hand and shook it to tell Chen An where he was.
Wang Yanxi sneered, stepped forward and asked, "Why are you climbing on the roof of the world? Can't you get down?" The young man hurriedly said: "Exactly, exactly, can you help me find a ladder." ”
Chen Anxin moved, remembering that he hadn't had time to feel the changes in his body after being cut down and washed yesterday, he looked up at the high roof, and a chivalrous spirit arose in his heart, and he said loudly: "Why do you need a ladder, I..."
"I'll take you down. Before Chen An finished speaking, Wang Yanxi, who was also holding the same mind on the side, said first, and then rose up lightly, slowly floating on the ridge of the roof, grabbing the collar of the young man and flying down.
Chen An looked at Wang Yanxi's dexterous figure, and secretly calculated in his heart that if he went to save himself, he would inevitably have to step on the wall to borrow strength, and he was far from being as light and casual as Wang Yanxi. I couldn't help muttering: "I can't learn, I can't learn." ”
After the young man landed, he tidied up his clothes, and then bowed to Wang Yanxi and thanked, "Thank you for this woman's help." When Wang Yanxi heard the man call himself a woman, he was immediately overjoyed, waved his hand and said, "Hehe, the hard work of raising your hands." ”
Chen An looked at Wang Yanxi's appearance and pursed his lips, only hating himself in his heart that he should make a decisive move and should not say much. But he caught a glimpse of a painting scroll in the young man's arms, and asked curiously: "Why do you still have a painting in your arms?" ”
The young man was annoyed and said, "I painted this picture yesterday to see the excitement and take me there, but I didn't expect to fly and fly, I fell off, fortunately I didn't fly high, otherwise if I fell to my death, I would have become a laughing stock." ”
"Painting how to carry you flying. Chen An was surprised, he had recently come into contact with a lot of supernatural powers, and he was no longer surprised by this kind of thing, but he didn't think that this man was talking nonsense.
"Other people's paintings can't work, but mine's paintings can. The man showed a smug look, took out the painting scroll in his arms, and slowly unfolded it towards Chen An's face.
As the painting scroll is gradually unfolded by the man, a lifelike white crane appears in the picture scroll, the white crane spreads its wings and flies, because of the exquisite skill of the painter, the white crane in the painting is vivid, as if it will fly out of the painting at any time.
The man looked at Chen An and Wang Yanxi who were staring at the picture scroll quite proudly, with a look on their faces to show you the world, Chen An and Wang Yanxi looked at the picture scroll, then at the man, and then at the picture scroll. Seeing this, the man smiled and said, "Don't be too surprised, this is just a clumsy work I made last night, and it's not significant." ”
"Uh, that's it?" Wang Yanxi looked up, surprised. "Ah, that's it, there's so little time, I can only draw like this, what else do you want. The man thought that Wang Yanxi was questioning the quality of his paintings, and said dissatisfied.
"I mean, didn't you say that your painting can fly you, why doesn't it fly. Wang Yanxi said to the man, and the man saw a trace of doubt in Wang Yanxi's eyes, and quickly explained: "Didn't you say it, I was originally carried by it yesterday, but then I don't know what happened, so it stopped flying." Otherwise, how could I not get up and down in this little roof? ”
"Oh well, I believe you. Wang Yanxi felt that he had recently come into contact with more supernatural powers, so he would subconsciously treat ordinary people as supernatural powers. She shook her head and thought to herself: How can I meet so many supernatural beings?
The man heard the perfunctory tone in Wang Yanxi's tone, and said angrily: "You still don't believe me, I really didn't lie to you." ”
Wang Yanxi didn't answer, pulled Chen An back a few steps, turned his back to Chen An, and said in a low voice: "Cousin, let's not get entangled with him, let's go." ”
Chen An glanced at the man, then turned to Wang Yanxi and said, "Haven't you heard my master say that the prohibition in the city has suppressed their supernatural powers, maybe others are suppressed." Let's test it again, and if nothing happens, then let's go. ”
Wang Yanxi thought for a moment, nodded, and the two turned around, with a kind smile on Chen An's face.
"This brother, my cousin has never seen the world, and there are many offends and many offends," Chen An arched his hand and apologized, "It's okay, I Beihe is not going to worry about a junior, I think your physique is far beyond mortals, you should have been cut and cleansed, whose disciples are you." The man waved his hand to show that he didn't mind, then raised his head and chest, and stood up with his hands in the shape of a tall man.
"Disciple..."Chen An hesitated, secretly saying in his heart that he didn't know if the man in front of him would treat himself so calmly when he heard that his master was the Enma Sect.
"Our master is mysterious and doesn't tell us who he is. Wang Yanxi saw that Chen An hesitated and didn't answer, and knew what Chen An was worried about, so he spoke out for Chen An. Chen An breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
"Oh, there's such a weird-tempered old monster who doesn't want to give his name. Since your master doesn't say it, it's inconvenient for me to ask more. The man who called himself Beihe analyzed himself when he heard this, and muttered at the end: "It should be a new descendant who has entered the supernatural realm, otherwise he wouldn't be surprised to hear my name Beihe." ”
"Ahem, senior, I don't know if I can show my hands and give my blind teacher... My cousin has a long insight. Chen An originally wanted to say that Wang Yanxi was his junior sister, but he was afraid that Wang Yanxi would refute it after hearing it and add unnecessary trouble, so he changed it to his cousin.
Beihe looked at Chen An and said with a smile: "I know you still don't believe me. Chen Anran was stunned and did not answer. Beihe continued: "Okay, today you have relieved the siege for me, and I am also a person from the Divine Power Realm, and I am also your elder, so give it to you, show your hands." ”
When Chen An and Wang Yanxi heard this, they immediately looked at Beihe with anticipation, only to see Beihe take out a paintbrush from his arms, and motioned for Chen An to bow down, Chen An was puzzled, but still did so.
Bei He then spread the previous painting scroll on Chen An's back, but the brush did not point the ink, and the ink could be traced when the pen was lowered. Bei He drew a small bird in the blank space of the painting, and after adding wings, the bird in the painting turned into a living creature, circled twice in the air, and then landed on Chen An's shoulder.
Chen An poked it with his hand curiously, and said in surprise: "It's the same as the real one!" Wang Yanxi also wanted to touch it when he saw this, but the bird spread its wings and flew away, fell into the picture scroll and became a pattern in the painting.
"It's a pity that the prohibition in this city is too ruthless, and most of my supernatural powers can't be displayed, so I can only show you some flowers, flowers, birds, and other non-offensive ones. Although Beihe was full of regret, the expression on his face was very complacent.
"Little girl, you believe it this time. Beihe asked the stunned Wang Yanxi, Wang Yanxi couldn't help nodding, and then said to Beihe: "Senior, it's me who didn't know Mount Tai before, don't mind." ”
"Hehe, how can I bother with you juniors. Beihe waved his hand, Chen An saw that Beihe could turn the things in the painting into real objects, and such a powerful supernatural person as Xindao couldn't let him run. put on a sincere smile and said to Beihe, "Senior, my cousin was offended a lot just now, although the seniors didn't care a lot about you, but the juniors I didn't want to go, I don't know if I can let the juniors set up a banquet to make amends to the seniors, so that the juniors' hearts can be settled." ”
"Haha, you little slippery head, do you want to take this opportunity to keep me living in your mansion, and then let me teach you supernatural powers. Although Beihe doesn't look much older than Chen An and Wang Yanxi, as a supernatural person, you can't judge your age by appearance, Beihe's age and experience are about the same as Chen An's grandfather, so I can see through Chen An's mind at once.
After Chen An was exposed by Beihe, he was not embarrassed, and said calmly: "The seniors are wise, and the juniors do have this thought. ”
Seeing that Chen An was so calm, Beihe had a little more appreciation in his eyes, and said to Chen An: "Okay, you are much better than the people who came to me before." But I still have something to do later, and I'll come to you in the future, so don't leave it at that. After saying that, he turned around and walked away in style.
Chen An felt great regret, saw the scroll he was still holding in his hand, and said loudly to Beihe: "Senior, your scroll." Beihe did not stop, raised his right hand and waved it in the air, and replied, "It's yours now." After speaking, Beihe walked out of the alley and disappeared from the sight of Chen An and Wang Yanxi.
"Actually, what I want to say is, senior, you told me how to use it, and I don't know how to use it. Chen An looked at the scroll in his hand and sighed that in addition to the jade pendant, he had another treasure that he didn't know how to use.
Wang Yanxi stepped forward, looked at the picture scroll in Chen An's hand, and folded his arms in contemplation. When Chen An saw Wang Yanxi's appearance, he immediately put the scroll in his arms and said vigilantly: "This is a scroll, I won't let you do such a dangerous thing as blisters and fire." ”
"Stingy. Wang Yanxi said dissatisfied. "Hey, why don't we take it back to my master first, they should know. Chen An proposed.
"Well, it makes sense, senior sister and senior brother, they should know. Wang Yanxi nodded, and then looked at Chen An with expectant eyes, "After you know how to use it, can you borrow me this scroll for two days?" ”
"Uh, okay. Chen Anxin said that this picture scroll was not a powerful treasure, so he agreed. Seeing that Chen An had agreed to his request, Wang Yanxi immediately became happy and pulled Chen An back.
On the way dozens of miles in front of the city gate, two streamers flew to the ground, and in one of the streamers was a woman in white who had captivated the country and the city. In another streamer is a heroic woman in black. Next to the woman in black was an old man, who sat on the ground with his butt on his buttocks, touched his chest and said, "No, no, let me slow down, let me slow down." ”
The three of them were Bai Xixi, Ou Yici and Jianzi who came from Qingzhou City. Ou Yici looked at Jianzi and said helplessly: "We are still dozens of miles away from Ping'an City." Otherwise, let's go into the city, and you will follow. ”
Jianzi hurriedly said, "Don't, Master, let me slow down, I'll be fine right away." Seeing Jianzi's appearance, Bai Xixi couldn't bear it, and pleaded with Ou Yici: "Sister, I'm also a little tired after such a long journey, so it's better to rest here for a while." ”
Ou Yici saw Bai Xixi say this, so he also agreed, Jianzi smiled when he heard this, and bowed his hand to Bai Xixi: "Thank you, thank you, thank you." Bai Xixi sneered and didn't say anything, Ou Yici glared at Jianzi, and Jianzi immediately stopped smiling.
After a while, Jianzi said: "I also came to this Ping'an City when I was young, and I heard that although it is peaceful in Ping'an City, there are often murders and goods outside the city. ”
Bai Xixi asked, "Then how did those supernatural beings enter the city later?" Jianzi smiled: "Division... Ahem, the white girl asked, it is so dangerous outside the city, of course it needs to be protected, so ah, every time you enter and leave the city, there will be some dart games or guards to send each other, and those supernatural powers will also be mixed in these teams. And those ambushed supernatural people did not dare to personally attack the mortal team, and ordinary mountain bandits were not the opponents of those supernatural people who were mixed in the team. ”
Bai Xixi nodded thoughtfully, and after a while, she turned around and flew to the side to hide in a hidden place, but when she came back, she turned into an ordinary-looking woman. The woman laughed, "That won't cause trouble." ”
