Chapter Eighty-Six: The Beauty Scheme
Yu Xuan has been coming all the way south by the Spirit Smoke Beast, and it has been two days. In the past two days, I have traveled more than 10,000 miles, and I have seen all the mountains and rivers in the southern boundary. The southern boundary is mountainous, and many cities are built around the mountains, and the style is very different.
On this day, Yu Xuan let the Spirit Smoke Beast stop on a 10,000-zhang peak, found an uninhabited cave, and refined a few Pingling Golden Pills. This elixir is prepared daily by the monks of the Nine Yuan Realm and the Heavenly and Human Realm. Just because the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi has great power, in order to alleviate the hidden diseases caused by the Yuan Qi to the body during cultivation, it is necessary to swallow the Pingling Golden Pill to protect the meridians and reconcile the Yuan Qi. Therefore, between the nine yuan and the celestial monks, the Pingling Golden Pill has been used instead of gold and silver transactions.
The Pingling Golden Pill can only be refined into one furnace a day, and there are at most three Cheng Dan in one furnace. However, a Pingling Golden Pill can only be used for cultivation for two hours, so this item has always been in short supply among monks. However, many poor cultivators can't afford such a huge expense, except for those who are talented and can refine the Pingling Golden Pill by themselves, Yu Zi can only use himself as a furnace to attract the aura of heaven and earth to reconcile the spiritual element in the body. But with such cultivation, the efficiency is much lower than half the effort.
However, in the era of the ancient gods, there were extremely advanced spiritual qi exercises among the monks, but as the gods went away, the exercises were also lost a lot, and the few remaining ones were all controlled by the big clans and families, and they were easily not passed on.
"Fortunately, I got the aura handprint of the 'Ancient Sealing Spirit Array', and I don't need to rely on the Flat Spirit Golden Pill, and my cultivation speed can catch up. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll end up on the streets. Yu Xuan sighed secretly in his heart, put away the golden pill, and said to the Spirit Smoke Beast: "I'll go down to exchange some money and buy some medicinal materials, you can watch Xue'er and them here." ”
The Spirit Smoke Beast rubbed his palm, Yu Xuan took a few pills as feed and gave it to eat, and then raised the Spirit Carving Body Method, coiled purple qi around his body, and went far away.
Entering the city, Yu Xuan found a Wanbao attic, exchanged three Pingling Golden Pills for gold and silver, and bought a lot of medicinal materials. I walked to a restaurant, ordered some food and drinks, and planned to take them to the mountains to eat. Suddenly, a hotel waiter next to him was shouting at a drunkard.
The drunkard was a middle-aged man, sloppy, with no hair in his hair, and muttered, "What is it called? ”
The attendant said, "Then you pay." You drank here for three days in a row, didn't eat or order, and every time you came you only said that you would pay next time, but you kept taking credit. ”
The drunkard said, "You can go without food for three years, but you can't go without wine for a day." As for the money, I'll pay you back next time, won't it be ten silver dollars?"
The attendant said helplessly: "You pay this account first." ”
The drunkard said: "I don't have any money now, either I will be beaten and used as wine money, but I will be given wine after the beating." ”
When Yu Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but smile slightly, only to feel that his good wine temperament was somewhat similar to Tao Gong's, and then said: "I paid his wine bill, you can take a few more pots of wine." So saying, he took out a money bag, about twenty silver dollars, and threw it to the attendant. The attendant muttered, "In this world, there are more and more weirdos. But he turned around and went to get the wine.
When the drunkard heard that there was wine, he immediately struggled to crawl to Yu Xuan's table, and said with a smile: "You really invited me to drink?"
Yu Xuan smiled: "Of course, how can you not drink happily?"
The drunkard was very happy and said, "These days, you have a good look at your son, why, you also have a crush on that Situ Jing?"
Yu Xuan was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Situ Jing?"
The drunkard looked at him in surprise and said, "Two months later, the Situ family held a sword trial conference, and publicly auctioned the thirteen treasure weapons and swords forged by the elders of Xuanbing Valley, and the person who presided over the conference was Situ Jing, the number one beauty of the Situ family. As soon as this news was announced, the sons of thousands of miles and tens of thousands of miles of families came to visit, saying that they were buying swords, but in fact, they were here to capture the hearts of beauties. ”
Yu Xuan smiled "hey" and said, "Xuanbing Gu could have auctioned those swords by himself, why did the Situ family sell them on his behalf?"
The drunkard said: "One is to show that Xuanbing Valley has an extraordinary relationship with it, and there seems to be a tendency to form an alliance. Second, it is to use Situ Jing's good name to marry the sons of various clans, and once these sons succeed to the throne as the head of the family, they will be hidden allies. After all, the Mirage Clan, the Black Clan, the Phantom Clan, and the Divine Mansion Relic Clan are stirring up the storm, and all forces have joined forces to defend against foreign enemies. ”
Yu Xuan was stunned when he heard this, only to feel that this person was extraordinary and knowledgeable, and then he arched his hand and said: "The seniors are far-sighted, don't dare to ask the seniors' surnames?"
The drunkard waved his hand and said, "What do you respect or not, I am just a drunkard who gets drunk day and night, I almost forgot my name if you don't ask me, my name is ...... Iron guard seems to be. He rubbed his eyebrows, and suddenly staggered away with the wine bottle, shouting in his mouth: "If the wine is not drunk, everyone will get drunk, just because one drunk relieves a thousand sorrows......"
Yu Xuan smiled slightly, and said to the waiter in the restaurant: "Wrap the wine and food and I'll take it away." Then he threw ten silver dollars on the table and left the table.
When I got to the peak, I saw an old man halfway up the mountain and stopped: "Young Master Yu, don't come unharmed." ”
Yu Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It turned out to be Elder Situ, how did you count that I came here?"
It turned out that the old man was Situ Jiyun, and he said: "A few days ago, Hei Chong's battle in the Southern Regions has been widely spread, and the second daughter of the Qin family was seriously injured. Therefore, these days, I have specially taken care of the people below to carefully look for the traces of Childe, and sure enough, someone saw Childe come here this morning. ”
Yu Xuan said with a smile: "Elder Situ thinks a lot of attention to me, I don't know why, if you apologize to me, then it's not necessary, I have already forgotten it." ”
Situ Jiyun looked embarrassed, and coughed dryly: "In the past, the old man didn't know the identity of the son, and he was offended, but today one is to make amends for the son, and the other is to hope that the son will marry Qin and Jin." Situ Jing, the daughter of my brother, is known as a thin name, and her appearance can be regarded as passable, if Meng Gongzi does not abandon ......"
Yu Xuan hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Stop, Elder Situ, aren't you allied with Xuanbing Valley, why are you still fighting my idea?" Not to mention that although I am a member of the Yu family, I have never entered the door of the Yu family, and I have no right to speak in the Yu family, so the act of marriage may not be beneficial." Maybe I will be expelled from the court by the Yu family one day, and your Situ family will take me in at that time?"
Situ Ji Yunqiang smiled: "Childe is joking......"
"Childe doesn't allow it, is he afraid that the little sister's posture can't compare to Qin Xuehan?" Suddenly an ethereal voice came from behind him, Yu Xuan looked back, and his eyes couldn't help but pass a touch of amazement. I saw that the person who came was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl, dressed in a blue dress, with a stunning appearance. A smile touches people's hearts. At that time, the mountain breeze rose slightly, and the wind moved the clothes, but when I saw her coming slowly, I saluted Yu Xuan slightly. At this time, I looked at her closely, and I saw her stunning appearance, her skin was like a jade bun, and the pearl and jade under her ears were beautiful.
Situ Jiyun smiled: "Can I still see my niece's appearance?"
Yu Xuan nodded and said, "Miss Situ's beauty really lives up to the title of the first beauty of the Situ family. In terms of appearance, there is no inferiority to Qin Xuehan. It's just that I have both kindness and affection with her, and I really don't want to fail her. ”
Situ Jing smiled faintly and said: "It's okay if Gongzi doesn't allow that, now that the Qin family is in decline, our Situ family is willing to form an alliance with the Qin family, and after Qin Xuehan recovers from his injury, I will also ask Gongzi to convey it on his behalf." As she spoke, she took off a pair of earrings and handed them to Yu Xuan: "Little sister will use this thing as a basis." Also, I don't know if Gongzi knows that two months later, our Situ family will hold a sword trial conference, and the location is Qianjin City, which is more than 100 miles away. At that time, as long as Childe uses this thing as a basis, he can participate in the sword trial conference. ”
Yu Xuan looked at the pair of pearl jade earrings, couldn't help but feel numb on his scalp, and thought that he couldn't pick it up, and if he didn't answer it, he then coughed dryly and said: "It's not difficult to pass the message, but I also asked Miss Situ to change the token, such as ...... Ahem...... Some letters or something. ”
Situ Jing looked at him with a smile, as if he didn't understand Yu Xuan's meaning, and said, "Could it be that Gongzi is so disgusted with his little sister? ”
Yu Xuan was embarrassed and said, "Spread the message, in fact, it's okay not to have a token...... Ahem......"
Situ Jing said unhappily: "If you don't want a token, wouldn't it seem that our Situ family is not sincere enough, and if the alliance can't be formed at that time, will the son be able to bear this responsibility?" Or is the son still interested in marrying Qin and Jin with me?"
Yu Xuan sighed, and suddenly felt that these days, he had sighed all the sighs that should be sighed in this life, and said, "Okay, I'll take it." ”
Situ Jing smiled and said: "Thank you so much, if there is any difficulty between his son and Miss Qin, our Situ family should help you." ”
Yu Xuan smiled bitterly: "Miss Situ doesn't have to promise easily, the alliance may not be possible. ”
Situ Jing said with a smile: "If the son is willing to help, there must be great things." ”
Yu Xuan shook his head and hurriedly left. Situ Jiyun said: "Jing'er, why did you make an alliance with the Qin family? Now that the Qin family is in decline, there are not many strong people, and it may not be beneficial to form an alliance with them." What's more, Qin Feng is still in charge of the Qin family, is there some child's play with his daughter?"
Situ Jing snorted and said, "You and your father sold me to Yu Xuan in a blink of an eye, hoping to pull the big thick leg of the Yu family, but why don't you think it's child's play?"
Situ Jiyun coughed dryly and said, "After all, our family is too weak, so if we find Yu Lie and Hai Rou like this, I'm afraid that people may not look down on us." However, if Yu Xuan is willing to marry you, then there will be bargaining chips in negotiations with the Yu family. ”
Situ Jing glanced at him: "Fourth uncle, am I just a bargaining chip in your eyes?"
Situ Jiyun's face was not very good-looking, and he coughed dryly, Situ Jing said: "Okay, okay, I have read the information of Yu Xuan and Qin Xuehan, and the two of them are by no means things in the pool, and I faintly feel that Qin Xuehan seems to have a big secret, but I don't know." Fourth uncle, you sent someone to closely monitor the Qin family's land, although we can't enter, but as soon as we see Yu Xuan and Qin Xuehan coming out, we will immediately welcome them to Qianjin City. ”
Situ Jiyun frowned and said, "I'm afraid they may not be willing." ”
Situ Jing smiled slyly: "Do what I say, and you will definitely succeed." ”
Yu Xuan rode the Spirit Smoke Beast across the void, and suddenly the Spirit Smoke Beast let out a long sigh and flew down. Yu Xuan said in surprise: "Arrived?" The Spirit Smoke Beast rubbed the back of his hand and slowly descended.
"It looks like you're going to be faster than I expected. "Under a huge tree, suddenly there was a back figure dressed in gray standing with his hands in his hands.
