Chapter Twenty-Three: Red Beads
Bai Nanxiang first noticed the middle-aged man's dress, and then paid attention to his appearance.
The middle-aged man is actually not very handsome, and even a little feminine and evil, partial to his own appearance characteristics that he knows very well, does not pretend to be a decent gentleman, wears clothes as much as possible to lean into the dust, wide clothes and large sleeves, and the sleeves are embroidered with silver thread with a light white plum.
So the femininity of the body was decorated with the clothes he wore to be free and uninhibited, but it was more durable than those handsome young men.
Bai Nanxiang's first impression of this third uncle was neither good nor bad.
As far as she is concerned, such a swaggering person is never in the same world as her, neither a world nor a good or bad impression.
After seeing the person clearly, she quickly adjusted her emotions, bowed obediently and shouted.
"Hello third uncle."
The third uncle's surname is Zhou Mingzijin, and he is a very good chatter.
"Eh, senior brother, you only said that there was a niece in the academy, why didn't you tell me that our little niece is so beautiful."
Zhou Zijin looked at Bai Nanxiang, jokingly said this to Lin Sheng, and then looked at Bai Nanxiang again.
"Hello eldest niece."
Lin Sheng glanced at Zhou Zijin angrily, and reprimanded him.
"Nan Xiang is a well-behaved girl, don't talk nonsense, scare her carefully."
Zhou Zijin ignored Lin Sheng, and looked at Bai Nanxiang with a doting smile on his face with the elders looking at the juniors.
"Little niece, tell the third uncle that you are scared?"
Naturally, no, Bai Nanxiang has never seen any scenes in her two lives, and she smiled sweetly.
"The third uncle is very amiable, how can Nanxiang be scared."
Hearing Bai Nanxiang say this, Zhou Zijin raised his eyebrows triumphantly and glanced at Lin Sheng, who was serious on the side.
"Look, you also underestimate your eldest niece, how can we people from Cuiwei Academy be so timid."
After that, he looked at Bai Nanxiang again.
"Your third uncle and I have been taking a job outside in the past few months, and I just happened to get a red pearl, which happened to be a meeting gift for you."
While speaking, Zhou Zijin took out a fiery red crystal clear bead from his sleeve and handed it to Bai Nanxiang.
Lin Sheng also looked at the bead as he moved, and then his brows furrowed slightly.
"How many months have you been catching demon foxes?"
Bai Nanxiang accepted Zhou Zijin's gift as meekly as before, but for some reason, she only felt that the moment the bead was in her hands, the spirit bead on her neck was also slightly warm, and it was warm and sticking to her chest.
This is the third time in this month that the beads have been hot!
Bai Nanxiang held the beads, and her mind was all on the spirit beads on her neck, and she only felt doubts in her heart.
Zhou Zijin replied to Lin Sheng's words while giving away the beads.
"Yizhou Zhang Sima's second son disappeared, I happened to pass by Yizhou a few days, they begged for me, so I stayed for some time to find his son, and after a check, I found out that it was a demon fox."
When Lin Sheng heard him say this, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zhou Zijin.
"They beg you?"
The meaning in the words seemed to be that he didn't believe Zhou Zijin's words, and Zhou Zijin couldn't help but look at Lin Sheng.
"My good senior brother, naturally it was their request to come to the door to invite me, when did you see me take the initiative to solicit this kind of thing."
Lin Sheng still looked incredulous, but he glanced at Bai Nanxiang on the side and didn't say anything to Zhou Zijin in front of the little girl after all.
Bai Nanxiang took the red pearl and looked up at the two of them, with just the right amount of curiosity on her face.
"Third uncle, what is Chizhu?"
Zhou Zijin replied to her with a smile.
"The demon clan will give birth to the demon pill in the body when it cultivates to a certain level, and the demon pill will show different colors according to the different attributes, and the alien will generally name the demon pill directly according to the color of the demon pill, and the one in your hand is a demon pill of a fire fox, which is called a red pearl because of its fiery red."
It turned out to be the demon pill of the demon clan.
In the past three months, Bai Nanxiang has been making up for her knowledge about the Inhuman Realm, and she has long known that one of the missions of Inhuman cultivation is to eliminate demons and defend the Dao.
Most of the demons in this world can obtain spiritual power from living people to improve their cultivation, and humans are an excellent tonic for demons.
The relationship between food and being eaten is destined to be the opposition between demons and humans in this world.
Although not all demons are evil demons, but for thousands of years, the two clans have accumulated grievances, and they have long been in flames, as long as the demon clan is in the present world, it will be chased by strangers, and it is a demon who is willing to risk the present world, and most of them are evil demons who seek to enter the realm.
But in Bai Nanxiang's heart, the demon to her is not a simple opposite, good and evil can be clearly explained.
Holding the red bead in her hand, she couldn't help but think of the demon fox who had sacrificed her life to save herself, and she didn't feel a little weird in her heart.
The demon fox once saved himself, but he was holding a demon pill in his hand.
For a while, this demon pill looked a little hot in her hand, she didn't want this gift anymore, but the elder couldn't give it, Bai Nanxiang had to carefully put the demon pill into her sleeve pocket.
Zhou Zijin looked at her and continued with a smile.
"The red bead contains the fire spirit, holding this bead is not afraid of the cold, and the breath of this bead complements the method of my academy, when you practice, take it with you, and it will have twice the result with half the effort."
Bai Nanxiang thanked her softly.
Zhou Zijin gave a meeting gift, and soon went to the courtyard of the Lin family next door with Lin Sheng.
After the two of them left, Bai Nanxiang went back to her room first, took out the red pearl from Fang Cai, put it into a sandalwood box, put it in a drawer, and then turned back to the stove room to continue cooking.
She didn't want to carry this red bead with her, even in the meson silver bracelet, otherwise she would always feel a little awkward in her heart, just put it away like this, and there was still some indescribable taste in her heart.
It's as if you've done something wrong.
By the time she had re-cooked the meal, it was half an hour later.
She went to look for Cun Derong, but Cun Derong hid in his room and hurriedly said a word to her through the wooden door.
"Sister Bai, I won't eat it, you can eat it yourself."
It turned out that Cun Derong finally learned the trick of inducing spirits today, and after returning from class, he went back to his room to practice, and he was on the rise at the moment, and he didn't feel hungry.
Bai Nanxiang somewhat understood Cun Derong's thoughts, and the comfort and sense of accomplishment when she practiced for the first time was indeed easy to indulge, so she didn't insist and walked out of Cun Derong's courtyard again.
This time, she didn't go back to her Qingyuan Pavilion directly, but after a little contemplation, she turned around and walked towards the small courtyard of Zhao Bo on the side.
Only from the appearance, the layout of Zhao Bo's small courtyard and Bai Nanxiang is the same, and the difference is only in the furnishings inside.
When Bai Nanxiang entered his Zhao Bo's small courtyard, Zhao Bo was sitting in a daze in the small pavilion in the courtyard.
Seeing Bai Nanxiang walk in, Zhao Bo glanced at her, didn't say hello, stood up and walked towards the living room by himself.
Bai Nanxiang didn't care, and followed Zhao Bo into the living room with her feet.
