Chapter 4: The White-Bearded Old Man
Master Zhao's condition has worsened, it seems that he can't survive for a few days, Worry-free plans to wait for Master Zhao to pass away and then return to the Hidden Valley, Zhao Qian'er and Worry-free have been busy taking care of him, taking advantage of Worry-free's lack of time to take care of him, Xu Changqing sneaked out of Zhao's Mansion with Qingling with nothing to do.
I have been in Nanling City for a few days, and I have been staying in Zhao Mansion and have no chance to go out, so I naturally want to have a good time when I take advantage of this opportunity, although Nanling City is very lively, but it is also a mixture, Qingling was strongly opposed to Xu Changqing going out at first, worried about his safety, and finally failed to withstand Xu Changqing's bitter begging.
The street is still noisy when he first came to Nanling City, the crowd is surging, it is not lively, Xu Changqing is looking around, dazzling, suddenly a short man and Xu Changqing passed by, Xu Changqing subconsciously glanced at the person and didn't care, but Qingling found it greasy.
"Don't look at Changqing! your money bag has been stolen!"
Xu Changqing hurriedly checked when he heard this, only to know that what Qingling said was true, Xu Changqing looked around and found the thief, and quickly chased after him, the man ran away when he saw this, Xu Changqing chased all the way to an alley, and at this time six or seven people came out of the alley to surround him, including the thief.
Xu Changqing was fearless in the face of everyone's encirclement, and his words were heroic.
"In broad daylight, you dare to steal my money bag and hand it over, otherwise don't blame me for being rude. ”
These people were not at all timid in the face of Xu Changqing who was holding a long sword, they seemed to be a little skilled, and the man who stole the money bag was short and had a strange face pointed at Xu Changqing and scolded loudly.
"Boy, if you don't want to die, leave quickly. ”
Xu Changqing didn't expect to run out and have an accident, seeing that the situation was inevitable, there was inevitably a fight, and he was a little jealous in his heart, he was not afraid of these people in front of him, he was worried that the sword had no eyes, and if someone died, he would not spare him.
Qing Ling was even more afraid, if something happened to him, it would also be unlucky.
"Forget it, don't make trouble, let's go!"
Xu Changqing looked at Qing Ling in surprise, he seemed to be as ridiculous as hearing a joke.
"Anyway, I am also the apprentice of Xuanfeng Sect Wufuzi, my money bag was stolen, and I didn't ask for it back but admitted it, if this is spread out, it won't make people laugh off their big teeth. ”
Qing Ling couldn't help but feel ridiculous in her heart.
"Come on, who knows you!
The short man who stole the money looked at Xu Changqing talking to himself with a bird, and looked impatient.
"I said, boy, what are you muttering? If you're afraid, don't you get out of here and die?"
Xu Changqing was stimulated by words, instantly put aside his hesitation, drew his sword and rushed forward, what he didn't expect was that these people were all extraordinary, and their skills were peculiar.
"Changqing, let's go! you can't beat them. ”
Even if Xu Changqing stopped at this time, it was too late, these people took turns to attack, he couldn't withdraw at all, plus the wound had just healed, the pain intensified, and it seemed to be about to collapse again, just when Qing Ling was about to fly back to move the rescuers, a flaming sword qi slashed at the other party in mid-air, and Xu Changqing escaped.
I saw a man about twenty years old, dressed in green clothes, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and an extraordinary appearance falling from mid-air, with the red flames of the Lingxiao Immortal Sword in his hand, and the heat wave was steaming, and the people on the other side seemed to be very afraid of him, and fled in all directions.
Xu Changqing's money bag was not recovered, how could he let them go and chase after the short man who escaped.
"Give me back the money bag. ”
Xu Changqing, who was running, only felt a figure flicker past him, the speed was extremely fast, and the figure quickly intercepted the short man who stole the money bag, and when Xu Changqing arrived, he saw clearly that it was the man who had just rescued him.
The man's red mangxian sword shot out a flaming sword qi, scorching unbearably, approaching the short man, the short man couldn't dodge, he actually applied the gas shield to protect himself, the flames burned the air cover, crackling, seeing that the short man was about to be unable to withstand it, the moment the air cover broke, the man in green clothes quickly attacked, and the flame sword qi approached the short man, this time he couldn't dodge, and was burned by the flames and turned into ashes.
The man took back the money bag that had fallen to the ground and handed it to Xu Changqing.
"Take the money bag and don't lose it again. ”
Xu Changqing saw that he had lost his life, and he couldn't help but feel a little palpitating.
"Shaoxia, just get the money bag back, and you don't have to kill him!"
The man in Tsing Yi smiled, he already knew who those people were by looking at the exercises they used.
"Brother, you're too worried, they're from the Demon Clan. ”
When Xu Changqing heard that it was a demon clan, the concern in his heart disappeared in an instant.
"They didn't stay in the Demon Clan, how could they come here. ”
The man in Tsing Yi saw that Xu Changqing was curious, so he told him.
"Brothers don't know, they all made a big mistake in the demon race, and the demon race can't tolerate them, so they ran to the human race for refuge. These people all make a living by stealing, not only here, but also in many places, and our various sects often send disciples to eliminate them. ”
Since it was the demon clan that killed the people, Xu Changqing was relieved, and the man in Tsing Yi should be thanked for his life-saving grace.
"Thank you Shaoxia for your help, what's Shaoxia's name?"
The man in Tsing Yi gave up his hands and looked polite.
"My name is Yun Xiaoyao, the apprentice of Feng Lingzi of the Jade Void Gate. ”
Xu Changqing of the Yuxu Sect also heard what Qing Ling said, and he also understood something.
"Brother Xiaoyao is not from a famous family, and his skills are really extraordinary. ”
Yun Xiaoyao looked at Xu Changqing in front of him, seeing that he was not dressed like a disciple of the Four Great Sects, and the exercises he made in the fight seemed familiar, but he couldn't think of it for a while.
"Brother is too modest, I don't know my brother's name, who is the teacher?"
Xu Changqing originally wanted to say that he was the apprentice of Xuanfeng Sect Wuwuzi, thinking about it, if it wasn't for Yun Xiaoyao's help, his life would be difficult to protect, wouldn't it be a loss of face for the master to say it, how did he know that Yun Xiaoyao had never seen Wuwuzi at all, and he had never known him.
"My name is Xu Changqing, and I just learned some fur from a Taoist priest. ”
Qing Ling stood on Xu Changqing's shoulder, he was really scared half to death, if something happened to Xu Changqing, he would feel guilty for a lifetime.
"You still know how shameful it is! If the master knew, you would definitely not be able to eat and walk around. ”
Thanks to Qingling, he can't communicate with others, and he can't sue, so he is secretly proud.
"I don't say, who knows. ”
Yun Xiaoyao on the side looked at Xu Changqing talking to himself, a little inexplicable, and there was a trace of doubt between his eyebrows.
"Who is Brother Evergreen talking to?"
Xu Changqing pointed to the green spirit on his shoulder.
"Brother Xiaoyao, I'm talking to this bird!"
Yun Xiaoyao saw that Qing Ling was just a spirit bird and couldn't communicate with people, Xu Changqing was able to talk to birds, and he didn't know if what he said was true or not.
"Brother Changqing has such magical powers, I'm really ashamed of myself!"
Even Sanssouci didn't believe in this kind of thing, but Yun Xiaoyao did, and Xu Changqing was a little surprised.
"You believe it?"
Yun Xiaoyao smiled awkwardly, he didn't believe it, just out of politeness.
"This ...... Perhaps!"
Xu Changqing didn't care, it was right if he didn't believe it, if it was him, he wouldn't believe it, so he changed the topic.
"Is there something wrong with Brother Xiaoyao coming to Nanling City?"
Yun Xiaoyao has admired Zhao Qian'er for many years, and Feng Lingzi, the head of Yuxu Sect, has also proposed to Qingsong Daochang for him many times, and Qingsong Daoist naturally agreed, but Zhao Qian'er has relatives who are still there, and Qingsong Daoist told Feng Lingzi that he needs to propose marriage with his relatives. Because of this, Yun Xiaoyao came this time to propose to Zhao Qian'er's relatives.
"I am not satisfied with Brother Changqing, I came here to propose marriage, I don't know if Brother Changqing knows Zhao Mansion. ”
Up and down the Zhao Mansion, it seems that only Zhao Qian'er's age matches Yun Xiaoyao's, Xu Changqing is sure that he and Zhao Qian'er must be a couple, he really can't believe it, how could the elegant and handsome Yun Xiaoyao like Zhao Qian'er who is cold all day long.
"Brother Xiaoyao, it seems that it is really fate that you and I know each other! I live in Zhao Mansion, and I will take you there. ”
Yun Xiaoyao was very surprised, and guessed in his heart what the relationship between Xu Changqing and Zhao Qian'er would be, if it was just someone who admired Zhao Qian'er, he had the capital to compete with him, in terms of birth, appearance, and Taoism, he was better than Xu Changqing, and he was afraid that there would be a marriage contract first.
"Brother Zhang, what is the relationship between you and Senior Sister Zhao?"
Xu Changqing seemed to hear the meaning of the words and hurriedly explained.
"I also just met, my master and her grandfather met, her grandfather was seriously ill, and the master took me to visit. ”
Knowing that there was no intersection between Xu Changqing and Zhao Qian'er, Yun Xiaoyao could completely put his heart in his stomach, so he didn't ask any more, on the way Xu Changqing specially told Yun Xiaoyao not to mention what had just happened, Yun Xiaoyao agreed to him, and then he was relieved.
In the courtyard, Zhao Qian'er saw Xu Changqing leading Yun Xiaoyao over, and couldn't help but be surprised, she didn't know why Yun Xiaoyao suddenly came here. Xu Changqing smiled heavily and was about to speak, but Zhao Qian'er stretched out her hand to signal him to stop, and looked at Yun Xiaoyao coldly.
"What are you going to do?"
Yun Xiaoyao admires Zhao Qian'er, but Zhao Qian'er has no love for Yun Xiaoyao, Yun Xiaoyao is reluctant to give up, originally Zhao Qian'er didn't hate him, until Yun Xiao's wishful thinking Tuo Feng Lingzi proposed to Qingsong Daochang, she was disgusted with him, and never gave him a good face since then, even so, Yun Xiaoyao still insisted.
Yun Xiaoyao didn't know that Zhao Qian'er was also in the mansion, and Xu Changqing didn't mention it, he thought that as long as Zhao Qian'er's family agreed, and her master, Daoist Qingsong, also agreed to this family business, it would be done. The moment he saw Zhao Qian'er, Yun Xiaoyao was at a loss, and in the face of Zhao Qian'er's indifference, Yun Xiaoyao had no choice but to change his statement.
"Senior Sister Zhao, I'...... I heard that your grandfather was seriously ill, so I came to visit. ”
What Yun Xiaoyao said at this moment was very different from what Fang just said, looking at Yun Xiaoyao's words, Xu Changqing was anxious for him, he mistakenly thought that Yun Xiaoyao was shy and difficult to speak.
"Brother Xiaoyao, why don't you tell the truth!"
Zhao Qian'er glanced at Xu Changqing, looking at his eager appearance, it seemed that Yun Xiaoyao came here for another purpose.
"Say what?"
Xu Changqing waved his hand regardless of Yun Yaoyao and told him the truth.
"Brother Xiaoyao is here to propose. ”
Xu Changqing didn't know that he had helped, which made Yun Xiaoyao on the side look embarrassed.
"Senior Sister Zhao, don't listen to his nonsense, I'm ...... I'll go back to Yuxumen first. ”
Yun Xiaoyao knew that it was impossible to propose, staying here would only make Zhao Qian'er feel bored, he turned around and was about to go out, when Zhao Qian'er's voice came from behind him.
"Senior Brother Xiaoyao, I hope you respect yourself and don't dwell on it in the future. ”
Yun Yao stopped in place for a moment, did not look back, did not speak, and went straight out of the mansion.
