Chapter 14 • Pure Heart
At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door, and Cheng Ye's voice followed. "Are you awake? There is a little sister who wants to find Miss Song. ”
Xiao Minglan tied up her hair in two or two strokes and patted her shoulder. Song Qingyin answered, hugged the hand stove and opened the door. She was also curious about who would be looking for her, but when she opened the door, she saw that it was a little girl named Yaoyao among the three brothers and sisters yesterday.
It was very cold outside, and the little girl couldn't help but keep warming her hands, and Song Qingyin hurriedly let her into the house. "We'll be waiting for you downstairs." Cheng Ye said, Xiao Minglan went out of the room with him, and only said that he would go to the street first to see if there was anything he needed to bring on the road.
They deliberately avoided suspicion, and Song Qingyin was more relaxed.
"What's the matter?"
Who knew that the little girl fell to her knees with a pop, and presented a thing carefully wrapped in a handkerchief with both hands, which was nothing else, it was a small bead that Song Qingyin gave to Zheng Hu yesterday.
Yaoyao knocked her head twice and said: "My sister is a monk, and I must have noticed that the 'shark pearl' that my stupid brother said is not a valuable thing at all, and I am not afraid of your jokes, it is just a stone that grows rounder, but my sister's bead is a real treasure, I know that my sister intends to help us, but in any case, we can't accept it." ”
Song Qingyin used some strength to pull the little girl up from the ground, it seems that this little girl has some other things besides her strength, and she can sense the gap between the so-called 'shark bead' and this small bead that only contains aura.
"Since you know that it is not a shark pearl, why do you want to go to Phoenix Ridge to run for nothing?" She asked curiously.
Yaoyao pretended to be old and sighed, "The East China Sea flooded our Zhuangzi and fishing boats, and the whole village is preparing to move west. Big Tiger Brother ...... You can also see it, his mind has always been only about seven years old, and we can't see him guarding the sea all day waiting for the fishing boat to come back, so we have to coax him to say that he has caught a shark pearl and go to Phoenix Ridge to exchange money. It's hard along the way, but it's better than waiting aimlessly.
The three of them couldn't find a few silver coins on their bodies, and the hardships of this walk must have been ten million times that of what she said, but Yaoyao didn't seem to care very much. Song Qingyin noticed that a thin layer of cocoons had grown on the hands of the little girl, and she looked like she was used to doing farm work. Yaoyao held the small bead and handed it forward, her eyes shining amazingly.
"I heard earlier that most of the creatures who have great creations are late in enlightenment. I see that among the three of you, you have natural spiritual power, and Zheng Shu is an official luck, but Zheng Hu can't see through ......it," Song Qingyin said, "It's better to be like this, you should collect this bead and take it to Phoenix Ridge." ”
As soon as Yaoyao wanted to say no, she listened to her continue.
"But it's not for nothing, I have always believed in myself, if you really get great edification in the future, you will take better things and pay me back!"
Seeing that the excuse was useless, Yaoyao kowtowed heavily to her and left with the beads.
Song Qingyin subconsciously reached out to touch the knot that tied her hair, it was the only thing left on her body about before she went up the mountain, this knot looked ordinary, but after so many years, there was no sign of old and worn out.
Chopping Moon Mountain was also going to the northwest, but Song Qingyin and Song Qingyin were afraid that they would be targeted by treasure hunters along the way, so they didn't propose to be with Yaoyao and them. When she came out of the inn, the snow outside had not stopped, there were few pedestrians on the road, the ground was covered with a thick layer of soft snow, and there were only a few of them scattered footprints at a glance, which were soon buried by the new snow.
Lu Qichuan still has a world-weary face that is not pleasing to anyone, leaning against the door and turning a tea bowl on the tip of his fingers, like a juggler who has been owed wages. Song Qingyin didn't dare to say this, for fear of upsetting others again.
Heavy snow closed the road and made it impossible to move forward on foot, so the few people had to requisition a few horses and a barely functional carriage in the backyard of the post house.
Xiao Minglan came almost at the same time as Song Qingyin, she came back alone with a big burden half a person tall as her, Lu Qichuan just raised his eyelids and glanced at her, but Cheng Ye kindly stepped forward to help her get it.
"Did you notice anything unusual last night?"
Abnormal? Song Qingyin shook his head, as if he didn't know why he asked that.
"Anyway, be careful, when we rescued Xiao Minglan, the magic circle on the ground didn't react at all, if Cheng Ye wasn't sure that she was looking for someone, I would have thought that she appeared there on purpose." Lu Qichuan threw the tea bowl behind him, and the bowl clanged steadily on the table in the hall.
"But if that's the case, why did she deliberately get caught?"
Lu Qichuan said impatiently: "How do I know? I looked at the paintings at the time, and the souls of the women who were imprisoned in the paintings were all refined and absorbed. You think, the natural choice for refining the divine soul is that the stronger the spiritual power, the better, but she is the only one who is unharmed. ”
Song Qingyin flattened her mouth, "But I think Sister Lan is very good......"
Lu Qichuan's teeth clicked, and he wanted to say something more, but Cheng Ye and Xiao Minglan had already approached over there, so he had to endure it.
The carriage was covered with a thick layer of soft cushions, and a fire talisman was raced in the copper furnace to act as charcoal, and the warmth in the carriage and the outside were simply two worlds, and most of the big burden that Xiao Minglan was holding was occupied by these things, and there were a few good spirit fox skins left in addition to these.
"When I woke up this morning, I saw that the cloak on your body was already a little shorter, it must be an old thing, so I wanted to sew a new one for you with these." Xiao Minglan smiled and took out the needle and thread from the mustard seeds he was carrying.
Song Qingyin was suddenly moved to tears.
The carriage didn't know what it pressed and it bumped up and down, Lu Qichuan didn't know why he just looked at Xiao Minglan unpleasantly, and drove outside by himself. In the past, in Luoxia Mountain, Song Qingyin had never seen him so diligent.
It had been snowing heavily for about ten days, and the moment the sunlight finally took a breath of relief from behind the layers of clouds, thousands of living beings seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
The snow is shining, and these four words alone sound full of hope.
When Song Qingyin and the others received the message of the Demon Sealing Conference, they happened to rest in a simple tea shed on the side of the road, and the scene of the wooden bird that had been made of a board and a glance and crashed on the table was really tragic, and Song Qingyin, who was squinting and basking in the sun, was so frightened that he was excited.
This little thing does have spirituality, and the three of them only received this one.
"What did it say?" Song Qingyin was curious.
Cheng Ye crushed the sound transmission bead and listened attentively, "Phoenix Ridge has withdrawn from the Demon Sealing Conference?" ”
After he finished speaking, several inexplicable gazes suddenly turned to them from different directions. Song Qingyin lowered his voice and said, "Did you say what's going on?" "Behind the Moon Mountain is the barrier separating humans and demons, in order to prevent monsters from mixing, the three heads must be selected at the moment to hand over the head seal to the true immortals, and then the true immortals will open it. And this time, it was elected by everyone that was Phoenix Ridge, Cheng Ye's Budeng Peak and Qingyun Mountain.
Cheng Ye listened to it several times and shook his head, "No, but I think what they mean is that the true immortals can't be contacted." He then said, "But there shouldn't be a rush in this matter, the owner of the museum said that the true immortal had already set off for the Moon Cutting Mountain half a month ago, and it was probably because he was delayed on the way and didn't have time to summon him." ”
"Then Phoenix Ridge withdraws, what should I do with the Demon Sealing Conference?" Xiao Minglan replaced the cooled tea for them and added a new bowl.
Cheng Ye said: "Since the news has reached our hands, it means that the withdrawal of Phoenix Ridge is a foregone conclusion." At the moment, either the Demon Sealing Conference will be postponed, or a new faction will be elected to replace Phoenix Ridge immediately. ”
Song Qingyin took a sip of tea, "The barrier is about to break, and the possibility of postponement is too small." ”
Xiao Minglan: "If it is a new election, which faction will it be?" ”
Song Qingyin and Lu Qichuan glanced at each other, and slowly put down the tea cup in their hands. The porcelain collided with the tabletop with a crisp sound.
She said in a deep voice: "Luoxia Mountain." ”
Yes, in addition to the previous three major sects, the only ones that can be regarded as some fame are Qingquan Valley, Tianming Sect and Luoxia Mountain. However, Qingquan Valley is a famous medical cultivation family, and it has always lived in seclusion. As soon as the head of the Tianming Sect passed away, the disciples in the sect fought for the position of the head of the sect. At this time, the only thing that can be topped is Luoxia Mountain.
It's full of the smell of conspiracy.
To say that this is not someone making trouble behind his back, Song Qingyin would rather believe that the old sow will go up the tree.
"Miss Song!"
Song Qingyin hadn't come back to her senses yet, and she vaguely only heard Cheng Ye, who was sitting opposite her, shouting, and then she was hit by a strong force, and she didn't have to think about it to know that it was Lu Qichuan.
"What......" As soon as she raised her head while holding on to the table legs, she saw Lu Qichuan kick away the small bench she was sitting on, this kick was full of strength, and the person on the opposite side was knocked out several feet, compared to the time he pushed himself, it can be said that it was very gentle.
This humble little tea shed can't afford to toss, and a few rotten stands are crumbling. The pedestrians who originally rested here did not dare to stay for fear of getting into trouble, and they ran away after a while, and the rest of these people, except for the owner of the tea shed who was hiding in the corner and shivering, were probably all of them.
The man who was knocked away wiped a handful of blood from his mouth, and did not rush forward again, but made eye contact with his companion, and several people slowly dispersed, not knowing what trick they wanted to play.
Lu Qichuan snorted coldly disdainfully, holding a gray mist in his palm. Song Qingyin looked behind him and could faintly see something like a wooden pole peeking out of the mist.
"Jiujiu, who are these?" Xiao Minglan lifted her up from the ground and whispered in her ear. Cheng Ye was protecting the two of them, his brows furrowed, and there were doubts in his eyes.
Song Qingyin gritted his teeth, "They are treasure hunters!" ”
