Volume 3: Lotus Regret (19)
fifty-one
Ruoxuan returned to the Shengqing Hall and did not say a word about the catastrophe, but only truthfully informed the three masters that they wanted to take Lian Xi under the door.
"Master, you want to go down to the human world alone to find my mother?" Xiaolian listened to it, and looked up at Ruoxuan, her eyes full of reluctance.
"Xi'er is obedient, there are many people in the Three Realms who are extremely hostile to me, it is not safe to follow me, and it is the best way to stay in the Southern Heaven Realm with your master to cultivate." Ruoxuan is also reluctant, but the catastrophe is unpredictable, lest Xiaolian regret another accident. Ruoxuan didn't want to read it clearly, and the incident happened again.
"Brother Zi Ranxian, slowly, I changed my mind for my brother. Originally, I thought that after several years of retreat, my cultivation would not be much inferior to you, but after several twists and turns in the Holy Realm, I realized that my cultivation was far from enough, and I planned to retreat again when I returned to the Southern Heavenly Realm this time, in order to refine my cultivation again. Xingtian, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two.
"After retreating for my brother, I took care of my son without flawlessness. Within the Sanqing Holy Realm, Xi'er can still be robbed by Nianqing, and it may not be safe to stay in the Southern Heaven Realm. It's more appropriate for Xi'er to follow you to the lower realm and follow you. ”
Ruoxuan listened, turned his eyes to look at Xiao Lianxi, and motioned to ask about his own intentions.
"If the master doesn't think it's a burden, Xi'er will go down with the master, and Xi'er also wants to reunite with her mother as soon as possible." Xiao Lian didn't want to hurt her master's face, so she lowered her head and euphemistically expressed her willingness to follow Ruoxuan.
"But ......"
"Oops! Brother Zi Ranxian, why are you such an indecisive man? The matter is settled! "Xingtian's temperament is still straightforward, and he can't see the slightest mother-in-law posture.
"Well, when will Brother Xingtian leave?"
"Don't delay, let's go. My precious apprentice will entrust you to take care of your brother's good life, and when he sees each other in the future, if she is missing half a hair, he will ask you for his brother! With that, without waiting for the two to respond, they rose into the air, turned and prepared to leave.
"Master! Take care! If you have time, I will visit you in the Southern Heavenly Realm! Xiao Lian Xi chased forward, waved to Xingtian, who was gradually moving away, and said goodbye loudly.
Xingtian didn't look back, just waved his hand in a dashing manner, and then the flames swept all over his body, and the Southern Heavenly Realm flew away quickly, his figure almost flashed, and disappeared into the sky in an instant.
Xi'er watched Xingtian go away, withdrew Yiyi's little hand, and turned to look at Ruoxuan.
"Master, the human realm is vast, where do we start looking for our mother?"
"You don't have to look hard, find a place to open a wine pavilion in the human world, and be at peace with what happens."
"Why do you want to open a wine court?"
Ruoxuan faced Xiao Lianxi's question, smiled but did not answer, but his thoughts went away with the memory......
"Shengqing, if one day in the future, you are tired of this heavenly realm and don't want to be an immortal anymore, where will you go?" A gorgeous red dress, leaning against the table with his pink cheeks, suddenly asked.
"Return to the world of seclusion, open a wine pavilion, travel around, and be at peace with what you encounter." Ruoxuan raised his head and drank all the wine in his glass, without hesitation in his words, as if this was an idea that had already been decided.
"Really?! Sounds like a lot of fun! Then remember to take me with you! By the way, did you decide on the name of the tavern? Do you want this goddess to help you refer to it? The woman in red suddenly became interested, and quickly sat up, her beautiful eyes full of anticipation.
"No need, it's decided, it's called 'Lu Yao Pavilion'."
"'Lu Yao Pavilion'? Good is good, but why? ”
Ruoxuan smiled mysteriously, raised his eyes to look at the wine dew in the cup, and then looked at the woman in red in front of him, turned around and left without explanation, leaving only the unknown woman in red frowning and puzzled alone.
......
On the day Ruoxuan left the Holy Realm, the three thousand disciples from the Holy Realm all came to bid farewell spontaneously.
In the Sanqing Temple, Venerable Sanqing, who was originally in retreat, also paid attention to this, raised his eyes and looked at the direction of the temple gate, his eyes seemed to be able to pass through the obstacles, and he watched the backs of Ruoxuan and Xiaolian leaving from the air.
"When Shengqing attained enlightenment and became a god, the years were not too long ago, and they were much shorter than most of the disciples in the sect. But his cultivation has reached such a realm, which is really unexpected. In the silence, Venerable Shangqing suddenly spoke with emotion.
"When the Holy Qing Divine Power erupted out of control that day, it was the three of us who joined forces to stop it, if it was a single person, it was unknown whether the Sanqing Holy Realm would be safe and sound." For the emotion of the Venerable Shangqing, the Venerable Taiqing deeply agreed.
"He is not comparable to us. Perhaps one day in the future, when that mysterious catastrophe comes, he will be the last hope of the beings of the Three Realms. Venerable Yuqing actually echoed his words.
"I hope so."
......

"Wow! Come and see, master, what is this? shiny, like a string of red lanterns. ”
Xiao Lianxi has never been contaminated with mundane fireworks since she was born, and this is the first time she has seen a mortal market.
After all, it is the child's heart, and Xiao Lianxi, who has never seen such a lively scene, is very happy, and when she sees any novelty, she will come forward to watch it in surprise.
The sweet laughter of the owner and the owner spread from the street to the alley, and it was very cute to see the gentle and subtle of the usual days.
Xiao Lian Xi is a complete beauty embryo, and she has attracted a lot of envious eyes along the way, including many lustful people with bad intentions, but she was driven away by Ruo Xuan, who was following behind, with a little means, just because she didn't want these flies to spoil Xiao Lianxi's good mood.
"Rock sugar gourd, the outside is a shiny layer of sugar coating, and the hawthorn wrapped in the sugar coating is a dessert, do you want to try it?"
Xiao Lianxi was about to say yes, but turned her head to look at Ruoxuan, but she was immediately so ashamed that she couldn't speak.
Since entering the market, Ruoxuan, who has been patiently following Xiaolian Xi to hang out with her, is now full of all kinds of gadgets in her arms, rattles, sugar paintings, painting fans, straw animals, dolls, and even a board abacus.
"If you want to buy one and try it, shop, come to a string of sugar gourds, no need to redeem." Ruoxuan saw Xiao Lianxi's thoughts at a glance, and couldn't help but smile, took out two pieces of broken silver from his sleeve and handed them to Ruoxuan.
"Okay! Childe, you take it. At such an age, you can see the posture of the country, and the end is a sign of lovely, and the son is a man with a woman, and a hero with a beauty! When the little trader saw that Ruoxuan was so generous, his eyes immediately lit up, and his face was full of flattery and flattery.
"The shopkeeper praises it, cherish it, let's go." Ruoxuan just smiled helplessly, did not argue, handed the sugar gourd to Xiao Lianxi, and then took her little hand and continued to wander around the market.
"Childe go slowly! Mrs. Childe walks slowly! As if fearing that the compliment was not thoughtful enough, the vendor took two steps forward, raised his hand and waved goodbye, and watched the two leave.
Both of them are elegant and outstanding, and at a glance they know that they are not ordinary people in the market. Moreover, it is not uncommon for large families to raise their girls from a young age and marry them into inner rooms when they grow up, so it is no wonder that the traders are wrong.
Although Ruoxuan didn't want to bother to explain too much, this compliment fell on Xiao Lianxi's ears, but her pink little face turned red, and she buried her head and sipped the sugar coating of the sugar gourd little by little, looking thoughtful.
"What is Xi'er thinking?" Seeing this, Ruo Xuan couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"Huh?! No...... Xi'er didn't think about anything...... Look, master, that person is actually breathing fire, how can that mortal also have the master's supernatural powers?! ”
Xiao Lianxi was embarrassed by the question, and when she was squirming and not knowing how to answer, she was attracted by the crowd gathered in the distance, in the crowd, a person stood high on the table, a mouthful of liquor poured into his mouth, spitting out bursts of dazzling flames.
This kind of performance is called "showmanship", and it relies on some skills to earn the tips of onlookers, and can be seen everywhere in the market. But Xiao Lianxi didn't know about this, and thought that her master's magic power of spitting flames had spread to the human world, so she immediately diverted her attention and hurriedly stepped forward to participate in the crowd to participate in the onlookers.
But Xiaolian's figure is too petite and exquisite, and she can't see the performance even if she jumps around in the crowd and tries to step on her feet.
Suddenly, Xiao Lianxi rose into the air, and Ruoxuan picked her up from behind and gently placed it on her right shoulder.
"Can you see it now?"
"Master, this ......" Xiao Lianxi has always been extremely respectful to Ruoxuan in her heart, but at this moment, she is sitting on the shoulder of her master, which is quite disrespectful. But he didn't see Ruoxuan having the intention of letting go, just watching the performance in the crowd intently.
Although she was extremely nervous at first, Xiao Lianxi was quickly attracted by the wonderful trick performance, and when she saw the excitement, she did not forget to wave and cheer with the crowd, which was full of playfulness and curiosity.
The two of them, who are still and moving, draw a warm picture, quietly frozen in this peaceful mortal world.
......
The years were quiet and I didn't feel that time had passed, and when the trick performance was over, it was almost dusk.
Under the warm sun, the crowd of onlookers dispersed in twos and threes, and many vendors in the market began to pack up their belongings.
Xiao Lian sat on Ruoxuan's shoulder for more than an hour, knowing that the performance was over, so she put the former off her shoulder, leaving a few pieces of broken silver for a reward, and was about to leave, but was stopped by an old man with ragged clothes and gray hair.
"Hello Childe, the old man is presumptuous to bother, please stay." The old man bowed.
Ruoxuan also bowed in return, looking at the old man with a little puzzlement. When the two of them first arrived, no one should recognize them, so why did this old man stop them?
Just when he was confused, the vendors selling rock sugar gourds also packed up their stalls and happened to pass by. Seeing this, his narrowed eyes calculated several times, and he came up with a clever trick to please the reward. So he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Ruoxuan to turn around and lower his voice.
"Childe, don't bother with this stinky old man, he had an only son under his knees, he joined the army at a young age, and later heard that he died in the war, this stinky old man may have been stimulated, and his mind became extremely eccentric, sometimes sober, sometimes crazy. At this time, it seems to be normal, but the villain is worried that this stinky old man will suddenly go crazy, and it will be bad if he hurts Ling Zheng, so he specially came to inform him. ”
Ruoxuan saw through the merchant's plan at a glance, so he took out two pieces of broken silver and sent them away. Then he turned to look at the old man, and motioned for him to continue.
"Don't worry too much about the child, the old man has no malice. The old man is just a small trader who makes a living by selling clay figurines. Fang Cai Gongzi and Ling Zheng are watching the trick not far from my stall, and the old man looks at Ling Zhengtian's national beauty, and marvels at the son's magnanimity. Childe is very fond of Ling Zheng, and the act of lifting Ling Zheng on his shoulders reminded the old man of his child who died on the battlefield, so he felt that he temporarily fabricated this gadget, and hereby sent it away. ”
The old man carefully took out something from his bosom and handed it to Xiao Lianxi, who was hiding behind Ruoxuan. Xiao Lian cherished Ruoxuan's instructions, and after thanking the gift, she stretched out her hand to take it, and took a closer look, and suddenly her heart suddenly gave birth to all kinds of love.
I saw that the thing handed over by the old man was a small puppet fabricated by wax. And its fabricated image is exactly the action of Ruoxuan and Xiaolian watching the trick performance.
The man in white lifted the woman in green over his shoulder, and the woman in green put a hand around the back of the man's neck and smiled. The little clay figurines are lifelike, and there is a bit of charm between the two of them.
Ruoxuan saw that Xiaolian couldn't put down this wax clay villain, so he put his hand into his sleeve and wanted to take out the silver tael, but was pressed by the old man.
"The old man thanked the son for his kindness, this is for Ling Zheng, and the old man does not accept it. It is a great honor to be able to make people happy. Childe took his leave. Hehehehehehe. ”
After the two bowed to each other, Ruo Xuan stood in place and watched the old man leave. Under the slanting sun, the back of the old man who went away alone was full of loneliness and gloom.
"Xi'er, let's go." Ruoxuan was holding Xi'er's little hand again and slowly left in the opposite direction.
"Master, this white-haired old man is in rags, but he is not a crazy man as the merchant said, but Xi'er thinks he is very kind and kind, but he is also very pitiful."
"You don't have to care about other people's opinions and eyes, you just need to look at people and things according to the feelings in your heart."
"Oh, Xi'er remembered."
