Chapter 42: The String of Sugar Gourds
The Atlanta Sea has survived another winter, and the spring breeze blows across the sea, breaking up the ice, making the Atlanta even colder.
Jiechen and Qianling wore thick cotton clothes and went down to the Soul Refining Sect and walked out of Zidong Island.
Jie Zhen and Qian Ling traveled from Zidong Island to a city on the coast of Atlanta, and the icy sea breeze could not freeze people's enthusiasm for the new day, and the streets were bustling with people.
Jie Ge and Qian Ling accepted the mission of the sect and came to the city to procure supplies. On the street where people come and go, Jieji holds Qianling's hand, big hand and small hand, passes by pedestrians, and comes to a pavilion.
There is a plaque on the pavilion with the words "Nebula Pavilion" written on it.
Nebula Pavilion is a large chamber of commerce in the Atlanta Sea, providing the required materials for the royal family and the cultivation sect, and earning profits from it, most of the tasks of the cultivation sect are also provided by the Nebula Pavilion, and the tasks are mainly problems that mortals cannot solve.
The Nebula Pavilion here is just a branch, and the Nebula Pavilion covers the entire Atlanta Sea, and also cooperates with the chambers of commerce of other seas.
The Nebula Pavilion in front of Jiechen has three floors, covering a small area, each floor is about fifty square meters. The first floor is a place to sell weapons, both on the walls and on the tables, but it is not expensive or practical, but it is enough for those who want to walk the world after moving a few floors.
The second layer is some magic weapons and uncommon materials, the price is not cheap, for ordinary cultivators, these magic weapons are their dreams, but for the disciples who came out of the Soul Refining Sect, there is not much excitement.
If the Soul Refining Sect has a special need, it will directly notify the Nebula Pavilion headquarters, let the Nebula Pavilion headquarters find it, and then send it to Zidong Island, this is the power of the great sect.
Under the leadership of the Nebula Pavilion receptionist, Jie Zhen and Qian Ling passed through the first and second floors and came to the third floor.
There are not many things on the third floor, only an old man who is already in the age of sixties, and he is not in the prosperous realm, it is estimated that the old man is old, and he is arranged to come here to do some easier work along the city.
When Jie Scar and Qianling first arrived, the old man was writing on the table. The third level consisted of a table and a bed, and a retouched recess in the wall with scrolls, and nothing else.
Seeing someone coming in, the old man hurriedly got up, there was no shelf, and he treated everyone who came as if they were guests.
"Old Chen, someone from the Soul Refining Sect has arrived. The receptionist said respectfully to the old man.
"Well, you go down first. The old man, who was in the reception, nodded and motioned for the receptionist to leave.
"Hello, Grandpa Chen. Jie Zhen did not have a sense of superiority from the big sect, and greeted Chen Lao politely.
"Hello grandpa. Qianling stood next to Jieji and greeted him obediently.
"I can't do it, I can't do it. Chen Lao smiled, his smile was amiable, and the greetings from Jie Zhen and Qianling made him happy in his heart. Chen Lao has no children, he has worked in Xingyun Pavilion all his life, and because he has no talent for cultivation and is old, he was arranged to do some light work here.
"If I had children, and if I had children, my grandchildren would be as old as you. Chen Lao said with emotion.
"We can also come to see grandpa often. "Qianling is innocent and cares about Chen Lao.
"You are disciples of the Soul Refining Sect, your time should be spent on cultivation, how can you waste your time with me. "Old Chen is self-aware and advises Qianling not to care.
"Ha, we are all geniuses, and we practice casually for more than half a year for others, and our cultivation is casual. In the future, I will often bring Qianling to see you, just to prepare something delicious to invite us, Qianling likes to eat sugar gourds, I like to eat meatloaf, haha. Jie Scar said with a smile.
"Good, good. Chen Lao said two good things in a row, and he felt extremely gratified.
After that, Jie Zhen and Qian Ling stayed in the Nebula Pavilion for an hour, chatting with Chen Lao.
When leaving, Chen Lao handed a piece of jade to Jie Zhen, and then insisted on sending the two of them down, Jie Zhen and Qian Ling tried their best to let Chen Lao stay.
On the third floor of the Nebula Pavilion, Chen Lao stood by the window, watching Jie Zhen lead Qian Ling away and drift away, Chen Lao felt that he was not so lonely. Chen Lao looked at the figure that had disappeared from sight, smiled slightly, and continued his daily work.
After leaving the Nebula Pavilion, it was still early, and Jiechen took Qianling to walk down the street. Seeing this street again, Jie Ji remembered that more than a year ago, he stayed on this street with amnesia, and then met the old man Zihai under a big tree, so he had a family.
At the same time, Jie Zhen felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and those forgotten memories always made him feel that his life was missing because of this. But no matter how hard I try to recall it over the past year, I still haven't remembered even a little.
"Qianling, I'll take you somewhere. Jie Ji said to Qianling.
"Hmm. Qianling didn't ask where to go, she felt that it was a good place to go wherever she could be with Jieji.
Jiechen took Qianling to the big tree, this big tree witnessed the rebirth of Jiechen, it was here that the confused Jiechen was brought back to the Soul Refining Sect by the old man of the purple sea, and since then Jiechen has a place called "home".
Jie Ge and Chi Ling sat on a chair next to the tree, and Chi Ling told Chi Ling his story, and Chi Ling told her story to Chi Ge.
This big tree, once again, witnesses the innocence of a pair of teenagers and girls.
Before leaving, Jie Ge and Qian Ling passed through the street, and Qian Ling saw the vendor selling sugar gourds, and showed pity to Jie Ge. Jie Zhen, who treats Qianling like a sister, naturally understands God and runs to the vendor who sells sugar gourds, fortunately, there is still a string of sugar gourds.
After buying the string of sugar gourds, Jiechen gave it to Qianling, and Qianling looked satisfied, but did not eat it first, but took the sugar gourd and stretched it out to Jiechen's mouth.
"You eat, I don't eat. Jie Ji touched Qianling's head and said.
"Hmph. Qianling pouted.
Seeing this scar, he knew that he had no choice but to bite off the first sugar gourd, and Qian Ling ate the sugar gourd with satisfaction.
As the sun set, Jie Scar and Qian Ling stepped on the ship back to Zidong Island.
