Chapter 0002: Crisis
When Gray Qingyan woke up, he could clearly hear what seemed to be a lot of sounds circling around him.
"Hey, look, look, I've woken up. This is where the earthquake happened, so let's ask this kid and see what happened!"
"Yes, yes, all of a sudden, the sky cracked and the earth shook, there must have been something strange happening. It is not always possible to see in the Divine Domain log that a certain place appeared or a change in heaven and earth, and then a relic was discovered. ”
"If something like this happens, then we're in luck! Hey, you guys ask this civilian. ”
When Gray Qingyan opened his eyes, he saw two men in black around him, asking him questions with arrogant faces. Neither the attitude nor the tone of voice is comfortable.
But they have a very natural look of arrogance, even if they are dissatisfied in their hearts, they also understand that the people they meet now can't be offended.
Because there were still a few gorgeously dressed men standing not far away, although they were very concerned about the situation here, they didn't even have the interest to look at him, just waiting for the reply of the man in black.
At that moment, Gray said lightly, and naturally told everything he knew: "...... I don't know what's going on, nothing like this has ever happened on Mangshan before.
".....That's nature, contemptible people have lived in Mangshan Town for more than ten years, and this is the first time I've encountered it. Just now, the whole Mangshan seemed to explode, but in the end, nothing happened. ”
The man in black interrogated for a long time, and finally found that he couldn't ask any useful information, so he threw a copper horn very impatiently: "Reward you, hurry up! What happened here today has nothing to do with you, remember to keep your mouth shut." ”
On the surface, he couldn't see the slightest abnormality, and even thanked him humbly.
But from the clenched fists that hung down from him, and the trembling fingers, it was completely clear that his mood was not as calm as it seemed.
In the end, he just bent down to pick up the copper horns, and then slowly bowed back and left.
Fortunately, the group was completely attracted by the vision on Mangshan, and was talking about how to explore Mangshan, and didn't pay any attention to him at all.
Otherwise, he will definitely be seen to be unwilling in the face of these obviously noble people, and if he encounters a cautious person again, he will die!
The distance between commoners and nobles is so insurmountable.
Trenches!
......
When he walked down the mountain, the sky was already dark, and the blood-red divine moon was emitting a faint light.
Thinking back to the group of people he met just now, Gray Qingyan's heart was full of shock.
Those gorgeously dressed young nobles were definitely extraordinary in cultivation, and watching their actions on Mangshan Mountain simply made Ash Qingyan unable to believe his eyes.
It was just a gesture, and it seemed that at least a thousand times of boulders were easily pushed away and moved by them.
Come to think of it, if these people have any ill intentions towards him, I am afraid that he will be crushed if he does not even have the opportunity to shout.
Touching the shallow strange mark on the center of his eyebrows, Ash Qingyan always felt a little burned.
This is the same location where he was hit by a boulder when he was unconscious.
The strange thing is that such a large boulder smashed on the head and did not even shed a drop of blood, leaving only such a shallow trace. And just now, he didn't say it.
Looking back on it carefully, it's really a little scary.
Not only was he hit on the forehead by a boulder but he was unharmed, but he also hid this strange thing from those nobles.
Gray always felt that once he said this, it might lead to a more dangerous situation, so it was better not to talk nonsense.
After coming down from Mangshan, he soon found that the people in the town below the mountain seemed to be unaware of what had just happened, and they were as plain as ever.
Looking at the curling smoke rising from the sky, Gray Qingyan suddenly calmed down.
Since you can't figure it out, you just don't think about it anymore. Anyway, I finally made it down alive. Big deal, tomorrow I will go to the temple for a prayer, ask for the baptism of the gods, and go to bad luck.
Burying his thoughts, he will inevitably lose his concentration a little.
Most of the people in the town he met along the way, and those close to the Gray family saw Gray talking lightly, and most of them stopped talking, but he didn't even notice anything unusual.
It wasn't until a townsfolk who had a similar relationship with the Gray family greeted him in person that he woke up. But when I came back to my senses, everyone was gone, and it was not easy to catch up and ask where Xi came from, so I had to press the doubts in my heart and speed up home.
When I entered the house, the moon had passed the middle of the sky.
Ash lightly stepped on the faint red light and pushed open the fence door, and soon saw his younger brother Gray Wu coming over: "Brother, you're back!"
"Well, what about Qingjin? Why are you?" It is my sister Gray Qingjin who usually goes home to help, although she is only 14 years old, but she has already begun to do her best to help Gray Qingyan take care of the family.
After all, his younger brother is only 11 years old, and he was injured at the Demon Realm Calamity Gate 8 years ago, and his health has always been bad.
Originally, his parents were also going to go to the temple to ask for a nice name for him like "Qingyan" and "Qingjin", but in the end they decided to call him "disease-free".
Although gray is very sensible, he is also willing to take on household chores. But his health is very bad, and Gray Qingyan and Gray Qingjin never let him do his work.
As he spoke, he wanted to take his brother's package. But Ash shook his head and refused to give it to him.
I couldn't resist my brother's meaning, so I had to explain behind me: "Qing Dahu came to the house just now......"
"Qing Dahu?"
Ash was stunned, this is a figure who has just risen in Mangshan Town in the past two years.
Originally, it was just a very ordinary civilian family, but it has undergone a gorgeous identity transformation since 3 years ago, no, to be precise, 6 years ago.
Not only the Donglin Kingdom, but also the entire Eastern Continent Divine Domain has a strict identity hierarchy.
A large number of commoners constitute the main body of the whole society, but the aristocracy, which is a small proportion of the whole country, occupies the vast majority of the resources and wealth of the whole country and even the whole society.
The gap between the aristocracy and the civil is as clear as a moat, and there is no commoner who does not want to become an aristocrat.
The only chance to change one's life is the temple's Divine Practice, which everyone can participate in when they are 9 years old. If you can show your unusual cultivation talent, you can immediately attract the attention of all parties.
Once you have achieved cultivation, you will have the capital and opportunity to get ahead and even change the status of your entire kinship.
6 years ago, Qing Feiyang's youngest son Qing Lei bloomed in the divine refining and was rated as a top-grade qualification, and was immediately included in the famous Blue Blood Society under the door wall.
And 3 years ago, Qing Feiyang spared no expense, and resolutely gave his 16-year-old pearl Qingqian, who was famous for his bright and moving palm, to a big man in the city as a concubine.
It is said that behind this big man, there is a deep involvement with the Blue Blood Society.
This time, although it is still a civilian, no one in Mangshan Town dares to underestimate the Qing family anymore. Since then, Qing Feiyang has become a well-known Qing family, and even the acting officials of the yamen in the town have given him a little thin noodles.
The status of the Gray family is far from it, what does he come to do?
Gray is still young, and he didn't say a reason for a long time.
When I put down my things and went into the house, I saw my father sitting at the table with a sad face sighing, while my sister Gray Qingjin was sobbing in the corner.
Although her younger sister Gray Qingjin is still young, she has always been gentle and sensible. Life is so hard, and there has never been a single tear.
What's going on now?
"Qing Dahu is here to propose!"
My sister has gradually faded away from her youth in the past two years, and she has become more and more delicate and beautiful, which is not far behind Qingqian, who was dazzling and unique at the beginning.
Although Gray Qingjin is young, everyone can see that this is a beauty.
I don't know how many people are secretly using the idea of Gray Qingjin and want to marry the Gray family.
But Ash said lightly that she knew that her sister was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she was unwilling to wronged Gray Qingjin, so she never let go easily.
Qing Lei, the youngest son of the Qing family, is 15 years old this year, and it is time to get engaged. Ever since he made a splash in the Divine Refining 6 years ago, he knew that the future was limitless. My sister marrying him is not a humiliation.
"No...... It's not Qinglei, it's ...... Be...... Qinglin!"
"Qinglin?" Not to mention that his father was embarrassed, Gray was even more shocked when he said lightly: "Can ...... But he's a fool!"
“...... Right. The father's face was full of helplessness and bitterness: "It's that fool, alas, ......"
Hearing this, the gray Qingjin in the corner couldn't help but cry in a low voice: "Woo woo woo ......"
"Boom!"
Ash slammed his fist on the table and said angrily: "This is too bullying!"
Qingda has a total of two sons and one daughter, the eldest daughter Qingqian has been bright and unparalleled since she was a child, and she is even more enchanting and moving when she grows up a little. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also smart and clever.
The youngest son Qinglei attracted a lot of attention when he was 9 years old. I am more handsome and handsome, and I have a bit of a sense of heroism.
Only the second son Qinglin is an exception.
When I was young, I was fine, but since my head was injured when the door of the Demon Realm Disaster was opened 8 years ago, I started to become stupid and stupid.
The family is still spoiled, and now they are all over 17 years old, looking tall and fat, but they act and talk like 6 or 7-year-old children.
How can such a character be worthy of Gray Qingjin!
"Father, you didn't promise him, did you?"
"This ......"
"Father!"
"Alas, Qing Dahu didn't force me to agree immediately, but only said that I should think about it carefully and give a reply tomorrow. ”
"What else are you thinking about? This kind of thing should be rejected on the spot!" Gray clenched his fists and gritted his teeth endlessly: "We are poor, but we have not yet fallen to the point of selling girls!"
"Yes...... That's a big family! I'm not for the many benefits he promised, it's just that we can't afford to offend people at all! Besides, Qing Jin has lived a worry-free life in the past, and he doesn't have to suffer anymore. ”
"I'm not afraid of hardship, woo woo woo woo ......" Gray Qingjin let out a weak voice and began to cry again.
Limestone didn't get angry, just sighed: "Hey, it's easy to refuse, but in the future, our family will have to live in Mangshan Town...... So what...... Alas......"
Seeing that his father's ravines and wrinkled old face were full of sorrow, Gray Qingyan suddenly calmed down a lot.
He knew very well that Qing Dahu was now majestic in Mangshan Town, and refusing to propose marriage would undoubtedly offend him fiercely.
With the current momentum of the Qing family, the gray family has no confidence to compete with it at all.
I hate it!
Why didn't I show enough talent when I was 9 years old!
If I can also have outstanding cultivation talent qualifications, how can my father not even dare to flatly refuse!
"Oops!"
Even if he clenched his fist and pounded his head, he couldn't alleviate the indignation in his heart in the slightest.
I want to get ahead!
Only when I get ahead can the whole family live a good life!
No matter what the cost, I don't want my family to go through such grief and humiliation again!
Ash gritted his teeth lightly, and unconsciously bit out the blood without noticing.
