Chapter 191: The Confrontation of Women [First Update]
Resisting the temptation of Buddhism and firming up his path of cultivation, Lin Mo's Dao heart immediately became a little more transparent. In order to immediately seize this opportunity to obtain the greatest benefit, he didn't even think about getting out of the suppression of the Leifeng Tower, and directly entered the state of concentration in the dark internal space of the Leifeng Tower. After all, if you want to get out of trouble, you can get out of trouble at any time, but this kind of opportunity to improve the Dao Heart Seed is not very common.
But he didn't know that when he settled down in Leifeng Tower, in Xu Xian's house in Suzhou City, one person and one ghost had already made a good breakfast.
It all started in the morning. Not long after Lin Mo left the Xu Mansion, everyone also got up. After all, Xu Xian Bai Suzhen and his wife are not lazy people, and they still have to run a security hall, and it has become a habit to get up early. And Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian, one of these two is a snake demon who has achieved cultivation, and the other is a ghost without a body, and he has more time to rest at night, which is a strange thing.
Everyone got up, so naturally they needed to have breakfast. Bai Suzhen instructed his subordinates to call Xiaoqing and invite Xiaoqian, but Lin Mo naturally couldn't invite her. When everyone was seated around the dinner table, the servants rushed back in a hurry to report that the room was empty.
"How so?" Xu Xian was taken aback and blurted out: "You won't say goodbye like last time, right?" β
"Impossible!"
Two of the same words sounded, and Xiao Qing, who was sitting on Bai Suzhen's left hand side, and Xiao Qian, who was on Xu Xian's right hand side, invariably rejected this guess with the same answer, which made Xu Xian stunned.
In fact, it wasn't just Xu Xian who was stunned. Even Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian, the two initiators, were stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the other party who was almost opposite him.
Did this pair last only for a short time, a second, or half a second? Xiao Qing immediately snorted coldly, turned her head to look to the side, and Xiao Qian also lowered her head slightly, staring at the dishes on the table.
Seeing this scene, Xu Xian, who originally wanted to ask them why it was impossible, suddenly stopped talking. Fortunately, Bai Suzhen was still there, and the virtuous wife explained: "Official, the Taoist chief has just returned. It's impossible to say goodbye right away. Besides, how can I say that Miss Xiaoqian is still there. Even if you have to leave, there will be an explanation, how can you ignore it like this? β
Xu Xian thought about it, it was indeed this reason. So he nodded quite convincingly.
But Xiaoqing listened. But he sneered: "It's hard to say." Who knows what this Taoist priest thinks in his heart. It's not like I haven't done something like I just left! As for this little girl...... Hehe, it's not good, people really don't look down on it. I'm trying to get rid of it! β
As soon as these words came out, Bai Suzhen mentioned it in her heart, and at the same time, her eyes subconsciously turned to Xiaoqian. But to her surprise, Xiao Qian's face remained unchanged, as if she hadn't heard anything, she just turned her head to herself and said to Xu Xian: "Xianggong Xu, if the concubine is not mistaken, Engong should go to find that monk." β
Bai Suzhen's heart was relieved, and she immediately said: "That's right, official, I think it's the same." β
Xu Xian was not stupid, at this time, he pretended not to hear anything just now, just nodded one after another, and said vigorously.
Seeing this situation, Xiaoqing's face also changed to her name, blue and black, very ugly. After all, her prickly disregard for etiquette in her words is already a very face-losing thing, and Xiao Qian's disregard for nothing and not giving a response is even more embarrassing, in comparison, it seems that the other party is a lady who is honorable and disdainful of being entangled by her subordinates, and she is a vulgar and unbearable vegetable seller who scolds the street at will!
How can this be endured? Originally, he just wanted to vent his anger, and by the way, Xiaoqing, who had some cheap money on his mouth, immediately got up and scolded. But Sister Mo Ruo, as soon as she moved, Bai Suzhen beside her stretched out her palm and pressed it on her shoulder.
"Qing'er, eat well." Bai Suzhen said, her eyes were shining, and her hands were strengthened. It's a pity that she is now close to the point of production, and she has no magical power, and with her physical strength alone, she can't press Xiaoqing back into the chair at all.
But after all, it is a deep sisterhood, seeing Bai Suzhen's actions like this, although Xiaoqing was angry, her eyes swept over Bai Suzhen's round abdomen, and she still didn't want to make her sister angry and hurt her body, so she just snorted hatefully and sat back slowly.
Bai Suzhen nodded suddenly, comforting Xiaoqing with a smile.
"So what do we do?" Xu Xian, who hadn't noticed the situation here, hesitated a little: "Are we going to Jinshan Temple to help Brother Lin?" β
"Officials, by all means." Bai Suzhen immediately said: "What the Taoist chief means is that he wants to explore the reality of the monk first, and then he can deal with it later." He is alone, not only has his own certainty, but also can advance and retreat. But as soon as we go, we become a burden, and no matter what the Taoist does, there are taboos. β
Hearing this, Xu Xian nodded again and again, Xiao Qian's face also showed a sudden look, and even Xiao Qing, who had just been attracted by these words, also had some understanding.
That's the experience. Among the people present, Xu Xian is a mortal, Xiao Qian is a ghost cultivator who has just embarked on the path of cultivation, and Xiaoqing has been following Bai Suzhen's side, and the experience on the path of cultivation is too little, for Lin Mo's thoughts and purposes, Bai Suzhen can see at a glance, but they can only think wildly, and it may not be correct.
"Then we're waiting here for Brother Lin to come back?"
"That's right. The officials can rest assured, take the Taoist cultivator as the leader, calculate the time, if there is no accident, they will be able to come back at about noon. β
As soon as Bai Suzhen said this, everyone stopped thinking about it and continued to have breakfast.
In fact, speaking of which, among the four people around the dinner table at the moment, only the mortal Xu Xian can't do without food, and Bai Suzhen, who is about to give birth, is also of some use, as for Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian, they actually don't have this need.
Xiaoqing's cultivation is now in the late stage of refining gods, and he has long passed the stage of physical pregnancy, as long as he can absorb enough spiritual power, let alone not eating for ten days and a half months, it can be a year and a half. As for Xiao Qian, the ghosts feed entirely on yin power, as long as the strength of their soul body is guaranteed. Ordinary food is worse than dim sum to themβdim sum is still delicious, how can ghosts without flesh taste the taste of food? Xiao Qian now eats two bites of dishes from time to time. It's just that I'm still nostalgic for my time as a human being.
So compared with Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen, who really ate, Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian actually didn't pay much attention to food, and they were very idle. And when people are free, they will want to find something to do. That's what Xiaoqing did.
"Hey, who's that, bring me that dish." Xiaoqing stretched out his hand and pointed to the dishes in front of Xiao Qian, and said to Xiaoqing very unceremoniously: "I want to eat that!" β
That plate of guesses is actually very ordinary, it is a very common tofu with shallots in mortal homes, which is purely a side dish of gruel. Xiaoqing didn't want to look at it a few times on weekdays, so she took the initiative to speak at this time. Nature is not for the dishes.
Bai Suzhen immediately frowned: "Qing'er." Eat well! β
"I'm just eating! I want to eat that, can't I? Xiaoqing pursed her lips, rolled her eyes, and asked with a sudden malice smile: "This dish looks good." The taste is probably not bad. Feed. What kind of little girl, how does this dish taste? Is it delicious or not? β
Bai Suzhen's heart jumped, and she hurriedly looked at Xiao Qian. None of them. Xiaoqing's words belong to revealing people's scars. Ghosts have no physical body, and after any food enters the mouth, it will be ground into dregs by the ghost power on its body, and then quietly excreted from the body by breathing. Flavor? Even if the body is gone, how can there be a tongue to taste the taste?
In the face of such words that were almost personal attacks, Xiao Qian finally couldn't ignore it like just now, she slowly raised her head and said calmly: "The concubine doesn't know how this dish tastes. However, when I traveled the world with Engong, Engong once tasted it, and said to the concubine that the taste was acceptable. β
When Xiaoqing heard this, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he turned to an iron-blue color.
Lin Mo did taste this dish, and he also said this, it was in Jinhua City, where he talked about the world, when a few people had just moved into Jinhua Building. At that time, I had dinner with Ning Caichen, and among them was this shallot-to-tofu mix. It's just that Xiaoqian said it at this time, obviously not to answer the question of how it tastes, but to focus on one thing: Engong and I have traveled all over the world! I'm the one who accompanies Eun Gong!
How could Xiaoqing not understand this meaning? The anger that had been forcibly suppressed just now immediately surged back up, and he immediately slapped it on the table, got up and shouted, "You guy, what do you mean? Mock me?! β
Bai Suzhen, who couldn't stop her this time, took a deep breath and shook her head helplessly. She knew that some things were finally uncontrollable.
"The concubine has no intention of doing so." Xiao Qian didn't get up, she was still sitting on the stool, quietly looking at Xiao Qing who was standing up with anger: "The concubine is just talking about the facts." β
Yes, these words added fuel to the fire, Xiaoqing almost even blew up his lungs, the glow that was always in his charming eyes turned into a cold light on the blade, and the smile on his face brought out a sharp tooth shadow.
"What you mean is that you're better than me, and you're going to win, right?"
Xiao Qian didn't speak, but looking at her calm look, she was clearly speaking; That's what I mean!
So Xiaoqing, who had already reached the critical point, finally broke out completely, she gritted her teeth and leaned forward, regardless of the green skirt on her waist next to the dinner table, and just said word by word: "You wait, let's see who wins!" β
Xiao Qian stared at her for a moment and nodded.
This action seemed to put a stop to YiqiΔ, Xiao Qing sat back in his seat the next moment, and began to eat quietly, and Xiao Qian also lowered her head again, as just now, from time to time to put two mouthfuls of food, and then put it in her mouth very slowly, chewing slowly.
Xu Xian looked at this scene in a daze, and squeezed out a few words from his mouth in a daze: "This is the end?" β
Bai Suzhen sighed deeply: "No, this is just the beginning!" β
The two couples looked at each other and felt that there might be a lot of accidents in the coming days.
Seeing that the situation was over, everyone was finally able to eat proudly, but they didn't have a moment of effort, they were always polite and reserved, and even Xiao Qian, who was so calm just now, suddenly raised her head and exclaimed: "It's broken!" β
Bai Suzhen Xu Xian was suddenly surprised, and even Xiaoqing raised her head slightly and squinted.
"Miss Xiaoqian, what's wrong?" Bai Suzhen asked, "But is there anything unpalatable about the food?" I'll go and call someone to change it. β
Xiao Qian shook her head and got up: "It's not this, it's Engong, Engong he disappeared!" (To be continued......)
