Chapter 58: Exposure
Faced with men's doubts.
Su Yin naturally didn't answer.
If Su Yin could understand, she would probably say: fish. Specifically, it is grilled fish, boiled fish, steamed fish, and stewed fish.
Su Yin, who had eaten the fish for half a month, was very disgusted with the live fish handed over by the man.
Does she look like the kind of shark who doesn't pay attention to it? The fish is still alive and jumping and handed over, don't you know how to scrape the scales, remove the internal organs, marinate it, and then fry it on the oil pan, and finally put some seasonings and stew it over high heat?
Su Yin thought that if the man really brought out such a plate of fish, she would definitely use a few bites.
Although it has reached the Jindan period, Su Yin has never wronged himself when it comes to eating.
"Don't be afraid, it won't hurt you." Sensing Su Yin's vigilance, Old Ancestor said soothingly.
Su Yin tilted his head.
"Seeing that you're also past the valley period, it's okay if you don't eat. Since the merman is a demon, he should be enlightened, why do you seem so ignorant? β
Su Yin blinked.
"Can't understand people? Is it because he has been living in the Qingyan Mountains and is isolated from the world? β
Su Yin yawned.
Old Ancestor suddenly reached out and pinched Su Yin's face, Su Yin suddenly had a spirit, his eyes widened, his back pressed against the wall of the barrel, and he took an attacking posture.
The ancestor didn't stop, and after easily dissolving Su Yin's moves, the ancestor continued to pull Su Yin's face, and with a little effort, Su Yin finally snorted in pain.
"It turned out that he was not dumb."
β¦β¦
Su Yin stayed in the wooden bathtub for two days, and then was released into a pool, which was not small, made of fine jade, about two feet above the ground, just enough for a man to sit on the shore of the pool and tease her.
At least that's what Su Yin thinks.
Since that day, the man put a plate of washed cherries on the shore of the pool, and she saw that he ate sweetly, and looked at him for a while, the man seemed to have discovered a new world, and changed his hands to conjure more than a dozen kinds of spirit fruits, put them on the shore of the pool, and asked her if she would eat them.
The word 'eat or not' was also guessed by Su Yin from the man's facial expressions.
Su Yin thought that since men were so enthusiastic, she was embarrassed to brush his face, not to mention that these fruits were crystal full and looked good, so she reluctantly tasted them.
However, just when Su Yin swam to the edge of the pool and was about to reach out to take it, the man waved his sleeves and put them all away, leaving only a moist peach in his hand, and after swiping it up and down twice, the man handed it to her with a light smile: "Like this?" β
What Su Yin was going to get was this peach, but it was one thing to get it by himself, and being handed in front of him like this by a man was another matter of dignity. In particular, the man also used a look that seemed to be teasing a puppy: "Tell meβpeachβ"
The man pointed to the peach in his hand, and then to Su Yin, and made a sound: "Eat." β
ββ¦β¦ Eat? Su Yin tried this pronunciation, and saw that the smile on the man's face was even worse.
Su Yin suddenly popped up from the water, and then turned around, the fishtail slapped a high splash, and after drenching the man accurately, she was in a slightly better mood and sank to the bottom.
This kind of day when people are raised as ornamental fish is really unpleasant.
Half a month is a fleeting time.
Su Yin didn't know anything other than confirming that the man's cultivation was unfathomable and that his status was very high. The man was very leisurely, sitting in this courtyard for eight out of ten days, cooking tea, reading books, and teasing fish, and the remaining two days were playing chess and teasing fish.
It was the first time Su Yin had seen such a boring man.
On the huge mountain peak, the clouds are misty, like a rare spiritual mountain, but except for the man, Su Yin has not seen a living thing so far.
Until this day, the bell rang twelve long times outside.
Su Yin poked his head out of the water curiously, and the man put the scroll in his hand aside, explaining, "It's the bell on the mountain to open the door and accept the disciples." β
"Open the door...... Apprentices? β
"Well, the Xuanqing Gate is a grand event once every ten years, and the disciples who have spiritual roots in the world are selected, and those who pass the test can worship the Xuanqing Gate."
Su Yin listened knowingly, and accurately captured the three words of Xuanqingmen.
The record of Xuanqingmen in the original book is very detailed, because the heroine is reborn into this sect. It turns out that she came to Xuanqingmen by chance? I don't know what the identity of this man is?
At this time, a small sound-transmitting paper crane flew in front of the man leisurely, and actually spoke people's words, which roughly meant to ask the man if he had accepted apprentices this year, saying that there were several dolls with good qualifications.
In fact, this paper crane will come once every ten years, symbolically ask, everyone knows that the ancestor does not accept apprentices, but there are always people who come here, including many highly qualified family cultivators, these people have a trace of expectation to come to this Xuanqing Gate, in order to worship the ancestors. And the head of the Xuanqing Sect wants to keep the seedlings, but he can't directly say that my ancestor doesn't accept apprentices, so you don't need it.
Isn't this a slap in the face of your own mountain gate?
So whenever this happens, the head of the family will send a message and ask the ancestor for a purpose.
Take this opportunity to tell the world that their ancestors may accept apprentices, if the ancestors do not come down the mountain this year, it must be your qualifications that cannot enter the eyes of the ancestors.
After the paper crane finished speaking, it turned into a few wisps of white mist and dissipated on the man's fingertips.
The man lowered his head and saw Su Yin lying on the edge of the pool with an interested expression.
A smile flashed in the man's eyes and he asked, "But do you want to join in the fun?" β
Su Yin's fishtail swung in the water, babbling like a mouthful, and spit out a sentence that was not very fluent: "...... Yes...... Go? β
"Yes." The man nodded.
Then the man's gaze fell on her fishtail: "You can turn into a human form, right?" β
Although it is a question, the affirmation in the tone is unquestionable.
Su Yin slapped the fishtail on the surface of the water and slammed it, and the little secret he kept was exposed, Su Yin tilted his head weakly, pretending not to understand the man's words.
The mermaid family's fish tail can be turned into legs, which can be regarded as a secret that is not passed on, and few people know it.
And Su Yin naturally regarded it as an important skill to keep running away at a critical moment. At this time, the man asked so bluntly, and Su Yin's heart twisted and turned a few times.
"Didn't you turn your legs out of your legs a few nights ago and go around this Jade Void Peak?" The man's words shattered Su Yin's last bit of illusion.
Seeing that Su Yin was unmoved, the man continued: "The door is not as good as Yuxu Peak, there are many people with mixed eyes, and it is more convenient to turn into legs." β
Obviously, Su Yin also thought that his fishtail was not suitable for appearing in front of people.
She was silent for a long time, then spoke to the man, "Turn around." β
Su Yin's words were not very fluent, but the man heard some annoyance from these two crisp words.
Su Yin was indeed a little annoyed, she turned this mountain peak a few times inside and out, and found that it was full of enchantments, if she wanted not to alarm her master to leave, she still had to explore it carefully.
Na Cheng didn't even touch the door, so he exposed himself.
