Chapter 157 "A Stepping Stone"
It was already dusk, and Xingxuan was walking on an ordinary and bustling street. He wanted to go to the Danxia Palace, but he hadn't thought of how to get into the Danxia Palace, he couldn't fight all the way, this was not his original intention, he walked all the way to think about this troublesome question.
Suddenly, various lights flashed on the street, interrupting Xingxuan's thoughts. When Xingxuan looked over, he saw the scene in front of him and stopped him suddenly.
As the night deepened, the lights on both sides of the street gradually lit up. At this time, the streets seemed to be more lively, some people were busy selling elixirs, and some people were busy buying what they needed.
There are many things that Xingxuan has never seen, the prosperous picture makes Xingxuan a little overwhelmed, he has lived in a remote mountain village since he was a child, and after parting with his parents, he began to contact Xiuzhen, but he has never experienced the most ordinary things.
He felt very new to everything on the street, standing stupidly, looking at things he had never seen before.
"Hey, you're fine, go away and don't delay my business. The voices of a middle-aged couple sounded beside Xingxuan.
When Xing Xuan looked at it with his divine sense, he realized that the couple was a mortal without any cultivation. And when the couple looked at Xingxuan's eyes, there was a look of fear in their eyes, and their bodies had begun to tremble; "I'm sorry, my lord, the little people don't know Taishan, please don't be surprised." β
No matter what kind of cultivation it is, it is an irresistible existence for mortals, Xing Xuan suddenly closed his breath and said gently, "I'm really sorry to disturb your business." Then Xingxuan's face was filled with great joy and walked towards the depths of the street.
Watching Xingxuan disappear into the crowd, there was an incredible look in the eyes of the two.
"Buy a bowl of bean curd, please, buy a bowl of bean curd. A little girl, pitifully holding a bean curd, prayed to the crowd of people on the street.
At this time, a big man looked at the little girl selling bean curd, ran over angrily, snapped, and knocked over the bean curd in the little girl's hand; β
"Uncle, you just let me sell here for one night, grandma is seriously ill, I want to earn some money to buy some medicine for grandma's treatment. The little girl looked at the big man in front of her with tears in her eyes.
"Let you go? It has set a precedent for you, how can my boss rule this place. If I don't give you some color, you really don't know what the rules are. Dahan looked at the wooden barrel and kicked it out, and the barrel broke under the force, and the bean curd poured out.
"Woo, the bean curd is gone, you return my bean curd, you return my bean curd. The little girl cried and hit the big man's leg with her little hand.
"Little rabbit, I think you're looking for a fight. The big man raised his strong hand and struck the little girl in the face.
The little girl was so frightened that she crouched on the ground, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't see the big man's hand falling, and she raised her head tremblingly to look at the big man. I saw a handsome young man holding the big man's big hand.
"Where did you come from, dare to meddle with Lao Tzu's affairs, and you don't ask who is in charge of this piece? I think you are tired of living. Dahan's eyes showed a strong murderous aura, and he punched Xingxuan's head.
But then a figure flew out and smashed towards the street a hundred meters away, and the sound of broken bones and the screams of the big man came from the big man's mouth.
A group of neatly dressed young people anxiously ran to the side of the big man, "Your Excellency, are you alright?" β
"Give γγγ, kill him for me. Dahan stared at Xingxuan with red eyes.
Bang, bang, bang, after a few sounds, the few people who rushed in flew out neatly and landed precisely on the big man who was still moaning in pain on the ground.
With a crying voice, the big man crawled out of the crowd with difficulty, "Ah, you don't know whether you live or die, you γγγ, you wait for me." "The big man is like a lost dog, and he runs away with a smoke.
At this moment, another childish scream came out, "Wow, big brother, you are so amazing!"
Then the little girl was instantly lost, looking at the bean curd scattered all over the ground, "The bean curd is goneγγγγ Tears began to fall from the little girl's eyes, picking up the little bit of bean curd on the fragments of the barrel.
After a while, the little girl pulled the corner of Xingxuan's clothes and said, "Big brother, this is a bean curd for you." β
"That's good, you can keep these for yourself. Xingxuan listened to the little girl's stomach rumbling, and said softly to the little girl.
"Big brother, don't worry, these bean curds are very clean, you can taste them, grandma said that you will be favored, and you must repay it." I don't have anything else to repay you, only this little bean curd. The little girl looked at Xingxuan sincerely.
"Okay. Xingxuan looked at the little girl's clear eyes, full of anticipation, and he was embarrassed to refuse.
"Big brother, this bean curd is very sweet. The little girl swallowed her saliva and looked at Xingxuan and asked happily.
"Well, it's sweet and fragrant. Xingxuan smiled gently.
Because of Xingxuan's actions, many people had already surrounded the street, and one of the kind-hearted old men walked out of the crowd; "Young man, you better hurry up and take this little girl away, if you offend this bully, they won't let you go." β
"yes, you guys go quickly. The crowd began to persuade the little girl, some gave the little girl food, and some gave the little girl some clothes.
"Thanks, but it's okay. Xingxuan looked at these enthusiastic mortals with an indescribable warmth.
"You may have just come here, you don't know the power of this bully, he is the younger brother of an outer disciple of Danxia Hall in this continent, you can't afford to offend. β
Xingxuan suddenly laughed, thinking to himself, "It seems that I have found a way to go to Danxia Palace, so I'll wait here for a few days." β
"I heard that your grandmother is sick, take me to see it. Xingxuan said softly to the little girl.
Xingxuan took the little girl's still trembling little hand and walked out of the crowd. They crossed several streets and, far from the city, saw a dilapidated house.
"Grandma, Ling Shuang is back. I saw a kind old man in the courtyard, sitting at the door and looking out, as if he had been waiting here for a long time.
"Why did Ling Shuang come back so late, tired!" the old man hugged the little girl and carefully touched the little girl's cheek with both hands.
"Grandma's bean curd is gone, it's all useless, and the bean curd is not protected. The little girl cried aggrievedly.
"It's okay, grandma doesn't blame you, it's good that people come back safely. β
"Grandma, it was this big brother who saved me. The little girl ran over and took Xingxuan's hand and introduced her to her grandmother.
This kind old woman thanked Xingxuan vigorously, but in the end, Xingxuan was still kept by this old man. The little girl watched Xingxuan stay, not to mention how happy she was, and talked about the interesting things she encountered in this dilapidated thatched hut, "Big brother, have you ever seen a three-legged frog? Have you ever seen a long-legged snake?"
It wasn't until late at night that the little girl gradually fell asleep, perhaps because she was tired, or perhaps because no one had ever been so close to them, that the little girl spent half the night talking about all the new things she had ever seen at such an age. Xingxuan looked at this ordinary and ordinary thatched house, and suddenly felt an inexplicable warmth.
"Ling Shuang, this child, is the first time she has said so many things when she is so old, her parents left early, and I am sick again, and I have suffered her all these years. As the old man spoke, tears began to fall drop by drop.
"Engong, you should rest early. Our house is only so big, and I really wronged you today. β
"It's okay, grandma, you're not well, and you need to rest early. "The night is getting deeper, and the sound of insects outside the house is also ringing happily.
Xingxuan looked at the two people who were sleeping, and a stream of spiritual power overflowed silently from his fingertips, conditioning the old man's body. In fact, this old man's condition is not very serious, but it is just a disease caused by old age, poor blood flow, and years of accumulation.
The first rays of sunlight in the morning always bring hope, the little girl woke up early, looked at the house in a panic, and when she saw Xingxuan, she showed a happy smile again.
"Ahhγγγ,h The old man said in surprise. Then she looked at Xingxuan again, with a grateful look in her eyes, and nodded silently. In fact, she had already guessed that her physical condition had improved, and her eyes had suddenly been able to see clearly, and she must have an inseparable relationship with the young man in front of her.
"Ling Shuang, go outside and have a while. The old woman said kindly to the little girl.
"Big brother, come with me to play. β
"Ling Shuang go first, you hide it, see if I can find you." β
"This is fun, then you are not allowed to peek, I will hide it. The little girl ran out of the house cheerfully.
"Grandma, do you have anything to say to me?"
"Engong, you're a cultivator, Ling Shuangγγγγ Halfway through the old woman's words, a shout of rage rang out from the sky.
"If you dare to touch a single hair of this little girl, I promise you will die a terrible death. Xingxuan's voice came from inside the house, and then the figure rushed out of the room and flew into the air.
"You are the one who injured my brother, and you only dare to come forward to help people in the early stage of cultivation? A young man, holding a little girl in his hand, looked at Xingxuan with an angry gaze. And the few people who came with this man also had a fierce light in their eyes, and smiled cruelly, looking at everyone in this courtyard.
"Hmph, is the humble life worthy of my help?" the man took the little girl's hand and threw it fiercely towards the ground.
"Do you know how to write dead words?" A soft wind instantly enveloped the little girl, and the fainting little girl slowly fell to the ground with the breeze.
Then a few explosions came out, and the few people who came with them didn't even scream, they turned into ashes one after another: "Ah, youγγγγ When the man came back to his senses, the young man he despised was still in his original place, while the people around him had turned into ashes.
"If it weren't for you, you would be a stepping stone for me to enter the Danxia Palace. And for the sake of a little usefulness, you'll end up just like them. Xing Xuan's eyes were cold, and the entire space became extremely cold because of his breath.
