246 Prosperity at first glance
The ripples on the surface of the water gradually subsided, but Xiaoqing, who fell into the water, was never seen. It's just that Xiaoqing underestimated Tang Shi, and her sudden shot made her head still groggy until now.
Half an hour later, a whirlpool rolled up underwater, and it seemed that a great amount of energy was about to explode. At this time, Bai Suzhen, who was sitting on the boat, looked at Tang Shi, snorted, and said, "Okay, Xiaoqing!" Don't make a fuss. ”
The words landed, and the surging power under the water surface came to an abrupt end, and with a bang, the water surface broke, and a beautiful wet girl half of her body was exposed to the water.
His eyes stared at Tang Shi viciously, and his chest rose and fell because of his anger.
"Sister! This guy bullied me! On the surface of the water, Xiaoqing scolded angrily.
Bai Suzhen didn't respond, her eyes looked at Tang Shi coldly, and the terrifying aura of the thousand-year-old demon emanated from her body, and Sen Sen couldn't look at it directly.
"It's not my fault, it's that the little young girl is too impulsive." Tang Shi spread his hands and said.
Bai Suzhen took a deep look, and said to Xiaoqing without looking back: "Xiaoqing, apologize to Tang Gongzi." ”
Xiaoqing was surprised: "Sister! ”
Bai Suzhen accentuated her tone and said, "Apologize!" ”
Xiaoqing couldn't figure out why her sister would help outsiders and not herself, but she didn't dare to disobey Bai Suzhen's words, so she said coldly: "I'm sorry." ”
The voice was as stiff as a stone, but Tang Shi didn't care, and said with a smile: "It's also a temporary miss in the next place, and I hope the little green girl won't mind." ”
Xiaoqing snorted coldly: "You don't need to pretend. After saying that, the whole person fell into the water with a thud and disappeared.
Tang Shi shook his head slightly when he saw this, he was really a snake demon with a good temperament. However, compared to Bai Suzhen, Tang Shi still prefers this straightforward personality, at least it is effortless to communicate.
Bai Suzhen saw Xiaoqing disappear into the water and knew that this girl was angry. After coming to the world for so long, Xiaoqing doesn't seem to have changed her mind, and she will change her true body without saying a word, and it's good to beat it this time.
Although she comforted herself in her heart, she didn't have a good face in the face of Tang Shi, the culprit, Bai Suzhen.
"Childe, I said before that the second noble person I killed was a death calamity, which makes me really puzzled, can you tell me the reason?" Bai Suzhen said coldly.
Tang Shi heard this: "Naturally, you can." Do you remember that thousands of years ago, when you were a little snake, there was a teenager who once saved your life? ”
Bai Suzhen was stunned for a moment, she didn't dare to forget the grace of saving her life, she remembered it clearly, so she said: "Could it be that the noble man that Gongzi said is that young man?" ”
Tang Shi nodded and said, "That's right, it's that person." Back then, that young man had a good heart and saved your life from Orion. Since then, your fates have been intertwined. ”
Bai Suzhen was very puzzled, and asked, "I still hope that the son will explain it in detail." ”
Tang Shi smiled and said, "You apprenticed to the old mother of Lishan, you must have known that you had a catastrophe in the red dust, right?" ”
Bai Suzhen nodded and said, "Exactly, but the master only said that I had a red dust tribulation in my life, but he didn't say anything about the calamity." ”
Bai Suzhen has something to say in these words, her master Lishan Lao Mu is a god with great powers, but she can only calculate her calamity. Although Tang Shi's ability is not weak, the gap is too big compared to the teacher, how can he do everything?
Tang Shi heard the meaning of her words, and said playfully: "It seems that the white girl still doesn't believe it, but this is normal. If it were someone else, I'm afraid I wouldn't believe it. ”
Bai Suzhen did not deny it, and said slowly: "This matter is related to Suzhen's road to heaven, it is inevitable that there will be caution, and I hope that the son will forgive me." ”
Tang Shi said noncommittally: "I understand." I said today's things in vain, and Miss listened to them in vain. Believe it or not, it's all in the lady's thoughts. ”
"Thank you, Childe." Bai Suzhen bowed her head slightly and thanked her.
Tang Shi smiled indifferently and said: "This matter started thousands of years ago, there is a way that the past cannot be traced, when he saved your life, your fate has long been doomed." So now it's time for you to pay it back. ”
"Where's that guy?" Bai Suzhen's eyebrows frowned slightly, Bai Suzhen actually did not forget the grace of saving her life back then, but with her profound cultivation, she gradually hid this thought in her heart. According to Bai Suzhen's thoughts, one day she will attain the Tao, which will be the time for her to repay her kindness.
But when she transformed, her path to cultivation faced a bottleneck, and she no longer had the heart to take care of the kindness buried in her heart. It wasn't until today that Tang Shi pointed out that the old things came to mind. Bai Suzhen has been cultivating for thousands of years, and she has always had a clear distinction between love and hate. Since Tang Shi mentioned the old thing, she went to repay the favor, but she had a long-cherished wish in her heart to seek the road to immortality.
"What does Mademoiselle want?" Tang Shi didn't answer, but asked.
Bai Suzhen didn't think about it and said, "Naturally, it's to repay the favor." ”
"That person has saved Miss's life, how does Miss plan to repay him?" Tang Shi asked quietly.
This sentence asked Bai Suzhen, the so-called grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by a spring, isn't this life-saving grace child's play. How can I repay it?
After thinking about it, Bai Suzhen said: "He saved my life that day, and now I will do my best, no matter what his wishes are, I am willing to fulfill them for him." ”
Tang Shi did not change on his face, but he secretly said in his heart, sure enough, this is Bai Suzhen, who does not hit Nanshan and does not look back, marrying an ordinary man under the body of a half-immortal, and he really has the style of a weaver girl back then.
"Whatever your wishes, Miss is willing?" Tang Shi stared at Bai Suzhen and asked.
Bai Suzhen nodded, and said with burning eyes: "Yes, no matter what you want." ”
"If he wants to cut off your immortal path, are you willing to do it?" Tang Shi pressed every step of the way.
Bai Suzhen's eyes were tangled, and she said, "This ......"
Tang Shi saw it in his eyes, and secretly said in his heart that there was a play, and he was about to say something. But Bai Suzhen showed a resolute look on her face and said, "I am willing." ”
This statement surprised Tang Shi, he really couldn't imagine that someone didn't even do immortals in order to repay his kindness, and gave up his life goal just to repay his kindness? Is this snake spirit crazy? Why can't you be like the snake spirit in the gourd baby, be a monster with goals and ideals?
At this moment, Tang Shi really admired this snake demon a little, but admiration is admiration, things can't be allowed to develop, otherwise Tang Shi's task will be in vain.
So Tang Shi said with a little admiration: "Miss's title is not allowed to shave her eyebrows, and she admires it." ”
Bai Suzhen suddenly heard Tang Shi's praise, and was a little surprised, and said, "The son praised it falsely." If you want to repay the virtue, you will not hesitate to powder. Although Su Zhen is a demon body, she also understands. ”
Tang Shi bowed his head slightly and said, "It's just a pity, I'm afraid that Miss's thoughts will backfire." ”
Bai Suzhen was stunned for a moment and said, "Why did Childe say this? ”
Tang Shi looked past Bai Suzhen's body, looked at the shining water waves outside the boat, and said, "If I say, I see the future, Miss is credible?" ”
"This ......" Bai Suzhen naturally didn't believe it, but looking at Tang Shi's confident appearance, she always felt a little uneasy in her heart.
Tang Shi looked at her expression and knew that today's goal had been achieved, and the so-called speed would not be reached, so he said: "Today's things should only be idle talk." If he wants to know the reason, he will be waiting for him at any time. ”
"Tang Gongzi......" Bai Suzhen still wanted to say something.
Tang Shi waved his hand and said, "Miss, let's go see Miss Xiaoqing, after all, she is alone, and she is a newcomer... Maybe it's going to be a little difficult. ”
……
As Tang Shi said, Xiaoqing did have difficulties.
Angry on the painting boat, Xiaoqing wandered alone in Lin'an City. From the perspective of Tang Shi's later generations, Lin'an City is really not big. But for a snake demon who has lived in the mountains for a long time, this Lin'an City is too big.
Lin'an City is the capital of a dynasty, and there will naturally be a curfew on weekdays. It's just that it coincides with the begging festival, and the curfew is relaxed. At this time, it was close to the end of the day, but the road was still bustling with pedestrians.
"My sister has been strict with me since she left the Purple Bamboo Forest, and today she even scolded me for a guy she didn't know. Is...... How unreasonable! Xiaoqing kept muttering as she turned.
She and Bai Suzhen have lived together for hundreds of years and are like brothers. It can be said that her cognition of the world completely depends on Bai Suzhen's teachings.
Although she teaches carefully, Xiaoqing is not Bai Suzhen after all, she can't be a person, she can only be a demon. Eat when you're happy, and eat when you're not happy. Her world is simple and straightforward.
So she couldn't understand why Bai Suzhen would reprimand herself? Tang Shi's magic stick was obviously talking nonsense, why didn't my sister let herself eat him in one bite? Xiaoqing remembers clearly that it was her sister who said it at the beginning, and all the nonsense is a bad person. The bad guys should be eaten.
"Hey, when will I be able to go back to the Purple Bamboo Forest?" Xiaoqing sighed and looked around casually, but she was stunned at this time.
She's lost.
Xiaoqing is a monster, so to be precise, she is not really lost. After all, she is a snake demon and can rely on her sense of smell to find a home. The reason why she was stunned was that she had never been to the place she was in at this time.
Looking around, Xiaoqing found that the surroundings were very lively, and there were a variety of things for sale along the street. "Okay, my sister ignores me, I'll go shopping by myself."
After making up her mind, Xiaoqing quickly put her previous unhappiness behind her. Like a child's heart, Xiaoqing wanders around the street, surrounded by strange ornaments or beautiful jewelry. She, a basilis, had never seen such a sight, and was soon lost in these strange things.
"Hey, what is this?" In front of the stall, Xiaoqing picked up a box of rouge and played with it puzzled.
The stall owner was an old woman, looking at the young girl in front of him, he smiled and said, "This is the rouge of Fujian Road, this is a high-quality product." ”
"Rouge? What is it for? Xiaoqing asked puzzled.
The stall owner saw that Xiaoqing was dressed luxuriously but didn't know rouge, and although he was surprised in his heart, he still said: "This is facial grease, which is used to rub the face, and it will be ruddy and beautiful when applied to the face." ”
"Ruddy? Why is it rosy? Xiaoqing still didn't understand and continued to ask.
The stall owner was asked, "Uh...... Because it's ruddy, it's beautiful. ”
"Good-looking?" When Xiaoqing heard this, she immediately became interested, and opened the rouge box, only to see that it was full of bright red. Before the stall owner could react, she grabbed the rouge.
"Hey!" The stall owner couldn't stop it, so he could only watch Xiaoqing grab a large handful of rouge and wipe it on his face.
"Girl, I can't sell you like this." The stall owner said angrily.
Xiaoqing turned a deaf ear, picked up a mirror by herself, looked at it and suddenly became ugly, looked at the stall owner angrily and said, "This thing doesn't look good at all." ”
The stall owner smiled bitterly, waved his hand at Xiaoqing, and said, "Little girl, come here." ”
Xiaoqing was puzzled, but looking at the stall owner's kind face, she still walked over obediently. I saw the stall owner take out a small puff and stretched out his hand to slap it on Xiaoqing's face.
Xiaoqing was startled and said, "What are you doing!" ”
But the old woman said kindly, "Don't move, just wait." ”
Xiaoqing didn't know what to do, but she still stood in place obediently, letting the old woman smear her face with puffs, paintbrushes and other things. After a while, the old woman put down the puff with satisfaction and said, "Hmm...... It's good now. ”
"Really?" Xiaoqing was overjoyed when she heard this, and reached out to take the mirror, "I'll take a look." ”
The old woman hurriedly said, "Wait, it's still a little close." After speaking, he picked up a piece of red paper from the stall, "Here you go." ”
Xiaoqing was puzzled, but saw the old woman smiling, making a demonstration, and said, "You are like this." ”
Xiaoqing looked the same, and the bright red lipstick was evenly stained on her lips, red as a ripe apple.
Xiaoqing picked up the mirror, her face in the mirror was ruddy, her lips were also red, and she said happily in her heart: "Ah, it's so beautiful!" ”
The old woman was also smiling, her eyes were full of love, and she said, "What a delicate little girl, and when she grows up, she will be a first-class beauty." ”
Xiaoqing was displeased when she heard this, looked at her and said, "I've grown up!" ”
When the old woman heard this, she smiled even more, and did not refute it, and said, "Yes, yes, she is already a great beauty." ”
Xiaoqing was satisfied when she heard the compliment. I picked up the mirror and looked at it for a long time, and finally put it down satisfied, picked up the rouge on the stall and turned away.
"Hey, girl!" Seeing this, the old woman hurriedly called.
Xiaoqing turned around puzzled and said, "What are you doing?" ”
Seeing her puzzled expression, the old woman smiled bitterly and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing." Are you coming out alone? ”
"yes." Xiaoqing replied dumbfoundedly.
The old woman said, "What about your family?" ”
The old woman's words aroused Xiaoqing's sadness, and she replied unhappily: "I don't know! ”
When the old woman saw it, she understood that Xiaoqing was in conflict with her family, so she said: "Angry is angry, but it is still a little dangerous for you to be alone with a girl's family, so it is better to wait for your family here." ”
Xiao Qing stared at the old woman when she heard this, she didn't understand why this old man wanted to keep herself, why she said that it was dangerous to be alone. Looking to the side, there was a stall not far away, and a customer held a comb in one hand and took out a silver coin from his body with the other hand and handed it to the stall owner.
Seeing this, Xiaoqing suddenly realized, took out a silver ingot from his arms, threw it on the old woman's stall, and said, "That, here you go." ”
Ignoring the old woman's reaction, Xiaoqing turned around and left. After not taking a few steps, the old woman behind him caught up, "girl"
"Didn't I give money?" Xiaoqing said indignantly.
The old woman put the ingots in Xiaoqing's hand and said, "You take the money, and the rouge will be given to you as an old body." It's just that you left alone, and the old body is really not at ease. ”
Xiaoqing stared at the old man, his gaze gradually cold, like a poisonous snake. The voice was dark, and he said: "My affairs, it's not your turn to care!" ”
The old man was frightened by Xiaoqing's demeanor, and his body was sluggish and motionless.
Seeing this, Xiaoqing smiled mockingly, handed over the silver ingot, and said, "Sister said that it is the rule to pay for silver and goods, and you can take this money back." ”
The old woman took the ingots back in a daze, Xiaoqing nodded with satisfaction when she saw this, and said, "Now that we are clear, don't follow me anymore, otherwise ......"
Speaking of this, Xiaoqing leaned over and whispered in the old woman's ear, "I ate you!" ”
With that, Xiaoqing let out a laugh like a silver bell, and walked happily into the distance, disappearing at the end of the street after a while.
With the episode of the old woman, Xiaoqing knows how to give money when she goes shopping next, she seems to have countless silver ingots on her body, no matter the price of things, as long as she likes it, she will give a silver ingot, and never bargain.
This kind of high-roller style soon became the God of Wealth in the eyes of many merchants, and was sought after by countless people. Xiaoqing was happy, but unfortunately the time of happiness was always short, and when the husband rang the gong at three quarters of the hour, it was finally time for the closure of Qiqiao City.
