Chapter Seventy-Eight, The Gray-robed Man
"Chang Qingze?" Xie Huazhao was stunned when he heard this, "You...... You let his name be so similar to yours, isn't that exalting him? ”
"There is no distinction between high and low, not to mention that he is not a house slave, and I didn't take him back to the house to let him do miscellaneous coolies, but to teach him the cultivation tricks so that he can also ......."
"What did you say?" Xie Huazhao's expression changed slightly, and he interrupted her, "How can that be done?" Our Xie family's mental method must not be passed on, if it is known by the elders, you and he will be kicked out. ”
Xie Qingning smiled, shook his head and said, "Of course, the cultivation method I passed on to him is not the Xie family's mental method, but I got it unintentionally, and I don't know if it fits his physique," she said as she looked at the Zheng and Yanyu Dao, "And them, I plan to start teaching them after I go back, if the three of them have this opportunity, no matter whether they can achieve success in the future, at least they have worked hard." ”
"What? Miss, are you really willing to teach us cultivation? Hearing this, Yanyu's eyes widened, and she shouted in disbelief, it was not surprising that she had heard Miss mention this matter before, but she also knew very well in her heart that even if the master had the intention to fulfill them, she hoped that they could also attract spirits into the body and have the ability to protect themselves in the future, but whether they could really succeed depended on talent, qualification and fate, and she didn't have much expectations.
"Yes, I will teach you, but it is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to achieve things, and you can't force them." Xie Qingning's words calmed down Yanyu, but his heart was still hot, and he was so excited that he couldn't do more.
Xie Huazhao looked at her for a long time before he sighed, "You, you are really different, the other ladies of the Xie Mansion think about what beautiful clothes to wear, what beauty medicine to drink, or concentrate on cultivation, hoping to improve their cultivation as soon as possible, or to marry a good husband." But it's good for you, you worry about other people's affairs all day long, I really can't do anything about you. ”
Xie Qingning smiled silently, but he had already made a decision in his heart.
The two carriages were still speeding on the official road, and in less than half a day's effort, they had left Taizhou for dozens of miles, seeing that the sky was about to be dark, and there was no town to stay in front of them, everyone had to take out the spare field tents on the carriage and set them up, and built a fire, and several people chatted around the bonfire, but they were also happy.
Suddenly, a gray shadow flashed in the corner of Xie Qingning's eyes, and the speed was extremely fast, if it weren't for the fact that her five senses were strong and different from ordinary people, it would be impossible to detect it.
After thinking a little in her heart, she got up and said, "It's such a beautiful day, I'll go and hunt some wild things and come back and roast them for supper." ”
Hearing this, Lan Yongzhi immediately got up and said, "I'll go with you." ”
"No need, I'll go and go back." Xie Qingning didn't look at him and swept towards the dark grove on the right, making Lan Yongzhi's expression slightly darkened.
Xie Huazhao patted his thigh and said, "Okay, you don't have to be so anxious, take your time, anyway, the future will be long." ”
Lan Yongzhi thinks about it, after all, Xie Qingning is only more than six years old, and it is inevitably early to fall in love at this time, it is his temperament that is destined to be very persistent in everything, which frightens the little girl, right?
He was quite ashamed in his heart, and hurriedly sat back in his place, his pretty face flushed, and he was so amused that he pulled the kite and Yanyu covered his mouth and snickered, but the black cat that Yanyu had been holding in his arms casually opened his eyes and glanced at him, changed a comfortable position and continued to sleep.
Xie Qingning, who had been chasing the gray figure all the way through the night, couldn't remember how far he had run, and he felt that he was about to cross this grove, and when there was a faint sound of turbulent water in front of him, the person in front slowly stopped and shouted at her, "Girl, don't chase anymore, I won't tell you any news in the future." ”
Xie Qingning stopped, took a breath before raising his eyebrows and said, "When Qingwa said before that there was a gray-clothed uncle who saved his life, I thought it was just a chivalrous man who lived in Taizhou who saw injustice and drew a sword to help, but Your Excellency protected us all the way back to the city, so that the monk Jiedan never had a chance to kill me, it can be seen that Your Excellency did not make a temporary decision, but always followed us, right?" ”
The man was silent for a long time before replying, "The girl is wrong, Zai Xia is indeed just a passer-by who lives in Taizhou, and he has received the grace of Chang's meal, so he doesn't want Qingwa to suffer, and he will leave immediately when you are safe." ”
Xie Qingning felt that he was lying, and vaguely felt that his voice was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard his voice, however, she really didn't know how to force the other party to tell the truth, so she could only stand quietly in the night, trying to open her eyes and look at the person's figure.
The distance was too far, she could only see the other party's slightly thin figure, the gray robe he was wearing was inconspicuous, even a little dilapidated, he turned his back to herself, so she could only see the long hair that was scattered, and the top of the hair was pulled into a loose bun, which was only fixed with a green vine, which had a bit of the bleak taste of a master in the world.
"Since Your Excellency doesn't want to say more, Qingning will no longer insist on it, but will remember today's grace, and I will thank you again in the future," Xie Qingning said while making a solemn courtesy, regardless of whether the other party could see it or not, he resolutely turned around after the line, did not stop, and simply made the gray-robed man murmur, "Resolute and resolute, in the face of the challenge of the Jiedan monk who is still not afraid of the leapfrogging challenge, it is really similar to the temperament of the Lord." ”
Xie Qingning, who was already far away from here, of course did not hear this, but took a few wild things and brought them back to the fire, she knew that there was the gray-robed man in charge, and the monk Jiedan sent by Xie Zhongchun was afraid that he would not have a chance to attack her, and there was a bit of comfort and happiness in his heart, and when everyone brought water to peel and wash the wild things, and then string them on the branches to barbecue, the night was already very thick.
At this time, Xie Qingning's spiritual consciousness heard the voice of a black cat, "What is the origin of that gray-robed man?" ”
"I don't know, but at the moment, he's not our enemy." Xie Qingning replied truthfully.
"His cultivation is so deep that I can't even feel that it has reached any point."
Xie Qingning had already noticed this, the gray-robed man came out of Taizhou and followed near the carriage, although she had always felt very strange, but she didn't have a chance to ask him. If it weren't for the other party's deliberate appearance to meet her, she probably wouldn't have been able to find out the traces of this person, and he didn't say anything when he saw it, but just showed her attitude of letting her go home with peace of mind, which was really weird.
"I'm afraid there is only that person who is willing to send someone to protect you, except for your master." Black Cat reasoned sincerely.
"It won't be my master, the master has only taken in three apprentices, and he has no other relatives or friends, he actually ...... It's also lonely. Xie Qingning remembered that the master always had a noble temperament that was not stained by the fireworks of the world, and his heart was quite admirable, and his eyes were slightly bright.
Lan Yongzhi, who had been secretly observing across from her, didn't understand what she was doing, but when she saw her black crystal-like eyes blooming with dazzling light, she suddenly felt that the stars in the sky were bright and bright, and the depression that had been ignored all the way dissipated a lot.
