Chapter 22: Red Makeup

On this day, the bank of the Zhanghe River in Yecheng is lit up, red lanterns are hung on the bamboo poles, and a big red sedan chair is parked on the bank. At noon, the sun was scorching.

The flow of the Zhanghe River is still scarce, and the bare riverbed is dry and cracked.

The people of Yecheng who came to watch were crowded together, and when you said a word, everyone's expressions were not as joyful as this should be a "happy event".

"I don't know which baby this poor girl is......"

"It seems to be a distant relative of the prefectural magistrate. ”

"In order not to force me to wait for the people, Xi County Ling can only find people from his backyard. ”

"What bullshit Hebo, it's all that old woman made nonsense!"

"Don't say it, don't say it. Alas, when will this flood of the Zhanghe River be a head..."

Just when everyone was whispering, an old woman in a splendid costume walked out of the crowd with a few people behind her, her face was full of wrinkles, her eyes were gloomy, and she limped to the sedan chair and circled around the sedan chair, her face expressionless.

"Ting Lao is here! Ting Lao is here!"

The elder Ting, who called himself Hebo Temple Zhu, instantly attracted everyone's attention, and everyone pointed and pointed.

"This old woman is really rich!"

"That's not it, it's estimated that everything we handed in was fished out by her!"

"She deserves her granddaughter to lie in bed for three years, what a retribution!"

"The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked! It is not a good thing! It is born from the heart, her granddaughter is vicious, and she can't see anyone. ”

......

Miao Zhu Ting's old eyes squinted and glanced at the noisy crowd at this time, and the corners of his mouth sneered. Three years ago, I looked down on our grandfather and grandson, and my poor granddaughter was even more disgusted by all of you! No one in the middle of that illness was willing to look at it, saying that he was riddled with evil and could not do anything! If he hadn't met his son...

Ting Lao looked around, and said in a dry voice like a duck: "Today is a good day for Uncle He's marriage. He Bonian knows that you can change your mistakes, and the river water of the Zhanghe River will be much more abundant!"

There was no one in the crowd to cater to it, and it was very quiet.

Ting Lao snorted coldly, he really didn't know what to do! If Gongzi didn't show his kindness, there would be no water left in Yecheng Zhanghe!

In the crowd, he moved out of the way, and Simon Bao, who was pale but much better-looking, walked out with more than a dozen officers and soldiers, dressed in a six-grade cormorant blue official uniform. The civil officials of the Great Chu Dynasty ruled the city, and the military generals guarded the city, each performing their duties, and Xi Mengbao had no right to mobilize the ironclad soldiers in the city.

Elder Ting saw that Xi Mengbao did not bow and knelt down, and there was mockery in his arrogant expression.

Xi Mengbao came to the sedan chair and asked in a trembling voice: "If after this incident, Zhanghe is still like this, what should I do?"

Elder Ting's tone was extremely flat: "Lord Xi, rest assured, the first three years were after the "Hebo married", and the Zhanghe River rose. The old man is a temple blessing of Hebo, so he can naturally say a few words to Lord Hebo and beg him to open up. After all, the old body is also from Yecheng. ”

Ting Lao and his granddaughter used to live on the banks of the Zhanghe River.

Simon Bao was silent, his palms clenched into fists.

Elder Ting glanced up at the dazzling sun, raised his voice and said, "The time has come!

In an instant, the crowd exploded and there was an uproar.

Ah Qing was in the crowd, his eyes staring at the sedan chair tightly. Early this morning, Ah Qing sent Xian'er to the county magistrate's mansion to prepare for the "Hebo marry", and declared that Xian'er was a distant relative of the county magistrate. Then Xian'er let Ah Qing leave the Xi Mansion and have been waiting here. Seeing Xian'er being carried to this place by Ba, Ah Qing was worried.

"Sit on the bamboo mat for a while, you should be careful. ”

"I know, I know, you are a man, how mother-in-law and mother-in-law. I'm not afraid of what you're afraid of. ”

"If the person behind the curtain appears, don't act rashly. ”

"Don't worry, I'm measured. ”

......

The two of them had been transmitting spiritual power, and Xian'er's tone was extremely impatient.

"I'm going to get out of the sedan chair!" said Xian'er, her voice unconcealed with excitement.

"Hmm. Ah Qing responded, staring intently at the people brought by Ting Lao and pulling up the bamboo mat, under which a long bamboo was tied and floated up in the river.

For a moment, it was very quiet.

A green jade hand pulled the curtain of the sedan chair, and the beautiful figure with a gold silk embroidered red scarf walked out, and the face under the red scarf was not visible, but the pink hair behind the shawl stunned everyone present.

The bride is not tall, but she can embroider a red robe with satin and gold patterns, with wide sleeves and a narrow waist and a slender and delicate style, and the wide-barreled red pants show the proportions of her body very perfectly, and the red satin embroidered shoes are small and exquisite. The bride's jade neck is covered with a collar and a heavenly official lock, her slightly bulging chest is hung in a demon mirror, her shoulders are draped in a xia veil, her hands are held in her lower abdomen, and her Haoyue-like wrist is wrapped with "fixed hand silver".

This scene in front of her attracted the attention of everyone present, even if the bride did not show her face under the red scarf, she was definitely a beauty, and her temperament was so.

"Is it pretty?" asked Xian'er mischievously.

Ah Qing came back to his senses, looked up and down carefully, and said seriously: "It looks good." ”

There was a burst of laughter like silver bells from the spiritual power transmission.

Under the red hijab, the phoenix crown fairy's cheeks are slightly powdered, her face is a little more mature than before, her peach-colored eyes blink and blink, and her makeup is actually charming, and her seductive red lips are lightly opened, smiling happily.

The woman's red makeup and light smile are the most beautiful scenery in the world.

The matchmaker next to the sedan chair supported Xian'er and slowly walked up to the bamboo mat that had been placed. Xian'er knelt on it, and her red scarf swayed in the wind.

Miao Zhuting's old eyes were gloomy, and she had seen the face under the fairy hijab before the sedan chair left, and her eyes were full of jealousy and disgust, and she even had the urge to use a knife to cut two mouths on the face of this beautiful woman.

Simon Bao was nervous, sweat oozing from his forehead.

The people all sighed, with a look of regret and helplessness. is such a yellow flower girl, but she wants to "marry Hebo"...... This is where the beautiful life comes to an end.

Perhaps when the Zhanghe River rises and irrigates the farmland, the people will think of this faceless but stunning woman.

Ah Qing watched Xian'er's movements intently.

The fairy kneeling on the bamboo mat moved with the waves, and the bamboo mat slowly floated towards the middle of the river.

......

Ah Qing left the crowd and walked upstream along the riverbank.

The fairy under the red scarf frowned. There are people underwater! Someone is swimming up and down the bamboo mat underwater!

The river gradually overflowed the bamboo mat, and the fairy who was kneeling was already wet at this time.

Ah Qing jumped into the river in a no-man's land, the river sand covered his eyes, Ah Qing swam in the direction of Xian'er, and Ah Qing's pupils flashed.

"Found you!"

At this time, under the bamboo mat of Xian'er, a man with long black hair was dragging the bamboo mat on the river to go deeper into the river.

Ah Qing was speeding towards this person, and the man suddenly turned his head and saw Ah Qing, his gray eyes lifeless. Ah Qing saw this person's appearance clearly, his facial features were upright, but his face was extremely gloomy. The gray eyes were even more weird, and this person was sneering:

"Jiji, are you a student of the Ordinary Academy?"

Ah Qing didn't answer, and quickly rushed towards him, a pale golden light rippling around him.

"Gao Yang's Clan?" the man's face was dark.

The light attribute spiritual power belongs exclusively to the Gao Yang Clan, a member of the royal family of the Great Chu Dynasty.

"This bastard is immortal, not enough to achieve, and more than to lose. The feminine-looking man let go of the bamboo mat on the river with his right hand, and he gave up at this time when he was supposed to drag the tribute woman into the water and knock him out.

Light attribute spiritual cultivation is all genius assets, but extremely rare, although the young man in front of him is not enough to cultivate the Xuan level, but he really wants to entangle himself and wait for the people behind him to arrive, and now he is really not sure that his injuries have not healed.

"Damn!" a figure appeared in the man's mind, the figure was extremely cold, and he was carrying a long sword in the sheath behind him, the hilt of the sword was intricately textured, and he was full of extremely sharp sword aura.

"If it weren't for you! Why would this son end up like this! I need to rely on the spiritual power of an ugly woman who has awakened her spiritual power to heal her injuries! The key is that I have to arrest someone to replenish her vitality when she is certain to die!"

The man thought of this, gritted his teeth, sent away the bamboo mat with his right hand, and sneered: "The little rabbit cub has no hair and wants to fight with this son!"

A Qing, who came quickly, had already smashed a punch, and was caught by a gray-eyed man, and then punched Ah Qing in the lower abdomen with a backhand, Ah Qing was hit and retreated again and again, and there was a violent pain in the lower abdomen that was covered.

The man like a water ghost decided to teach this Gaoyang clan's disciple a lesson first, and the cultivation of the second grade of the Xuan Rank at the moment was very easy to deal with this stunned young man. Besides, this is underwater, after all, he used to be a water attribute spiritual cultivator.

The man sneered repeatedly: "The people of the Great Chu Royal are really bigger than their fists. You are a mortal-level cultivator, you want to fight with me?"

Ah Qing asked, "Who are you?"

The man smiled softly: "You are not qualified to know who I am." ”

"We don't want to know who you are. A woman's voice rang out.

...

At this time, the people on the riverbank were dumbfounded. In the first three years of tribute, as long as the bamboo mat floated to the middle of the Zhanghe River, it would drown and disappear into the lake with bamboo.

And this "bride", when she was in the middle of the Zhanghe River, lifted off the red scarf hijab, revealing a shocking face, jumped directly into the river with a glimpse, splashing in all directions.

The old body of Zhu Ting of Hebo Temple couldn't stop trembling......

Xi Mengbao clenched his hands into fists and said in a low voice: "The two little immortals will definitely protect my Yecheng!"

......

Under the surface of the Zhanghe River, the fairy with a slightly slanted phoenix crown appeared behind the feminine man, and slapped the person's back with a fluttering palm, and the fairy was covered with peach-colored spiritual power.

The man raised his eyebrows, and wanted to grab the white palm with one hand, but his arm was hurt by the seemingly weak palm.

The man took a few steps back with a distorted expression, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, it turns out that there is a helper." ”

Xian'er quickly came to Ah Qing's side and looked at Ah Qing's lower abdomen.

Ah Qing shook his head and signaled that it was okay.

The two of them are under the water of the Zhanghe River, the young man is dressed in gray linen, and the girl is dressed in red satin, standing side by side.

Ah Qing said: "Take that toad away! Also! Three women in three years, all handed over!"

The feminine man was stunned, then laughed. The three of them were all using spiritual power to transmit sound underwater, and at this time, the gray-eyed man opened his mouth and laughed, his exposed teeth were sharp and terrifying, and the laughter echoed in the ears of Ah Qing and Xian'er.

The man said coldly, "I'm going to do whatever you ask me to do?"

Ah Qing's brows furrowed, and he quickly rushed towards this person, and he threw another punch, and the golden spiritual power filled the fist. What Ah Qing has been cultivating these days is the fire attribute, and now the underwater fire attribute spiritual power can't exert much combat effect, so he decisively uses the light attribute spiritual power.

The man snorted coldly, stretched out his palm and faced Ah Qing, who was rushing towards him, and shouted, "Liubo Chong!"

In an instant, the palm of the scrawny palm clearly saw the water rolling up, and the river around the man gathered around his palm, and then in the river with his palm as the starting point, the water column sprayed thin and towards Ah Qing, carrying a power that should not be underestimated, and the water attribute spiritual power filled the water column.

Ah Qing, who was rushing towards this person, retracted his fists, crossed his hands in front of him and tried to block the water column, but he was still turned over a few times under the impact of the water, his arms were broken, and the corners of Ah Qing's mouth were bleeding, spreading out in the water.

Ah Qing smiled bitterly, is it really too weak. Since leaving the lake, when Ah Qing was in the academy in the past two years, Ah Qing often fought with Yun Rou's master, Yun Rou did not need to be suppressed with the same attribute at all, and he could defuse all of Ah Qing's attacks with a wave of his sleeves, and even before Ah Qing made a move, he had already made a corresponding posture to deal with it, and every time he asked for advice, Ah Qing would be beaten with a blue nose and swollen face.

In the past two years, there has never been a day when the injuries on Ah Qing's body have been completely cleared. Even so, Master Yun Rou never kept his hand, or never took it lightly, and the reason why Ah Qing did this was because he didn't want to have the powerlessness of the opponent in the Longhu Dragon Tomb who tried his best but didn't move.

Ah Qing's eyes were red under the water, and he was about to fight again, when a white palm pressed his shoulder, and the red-clothed phoenix-crowned fairy, who was originally half a head lower than Ah Qing, smiled and motioned for me to come.

Xian'er's talent is not only reflected in the cultivation of the second-grade Xuan'er who seems to be the same age as Ah Qing, but also in the extremely fast speed at which Xian'er learns new things. When Master Yun Rou was teaching Ah Qing combat skills, Xian'er would also watch from the side. Master Yun Rou asked Xian'er to come up and give it a try, and many of Xian'er's reaction actions were learned and used, and Ah Qing on the other side was dumbfounded.

Master Yun Rou's explanation is that the spirit clan is born with seven exquisite hearts, and learning new things often gets twice the result with half the effort.

Xian'er's pink hair swayed in the river, and her beautiful peach pupils flashed with eagerness, she had an intuition that the man in front of her was very strong, but for some reason he didn't show his full combat effectiveness.

The unknown yin owl man looked at Xian'er's actions like this, and sneered, just now this girl slapped her, but she didn't expect that there would be a second-grade cultivation of the Xuan-rank, and now she is only the second-grade Xuan-rank.

The man was stunned suddenly, and then carefully looked at Xian'er, the hair color, pupils, face, and the spiritual power emanating from his body were not at all like the human race!

The man was ecstatic, he didn't expect it, he didn't expect it, he actually let himself touch a spirit clan, this spirit clan is still so weak.

Xian'er's peach-colored spiritual power rippled all over her body, and she looked strange when she watched this person's expression change. The red embroidered shoes were like walking on the ground, and with a slight click, they instantly catapulted towards the man, and the beautiful face was serious, shuttling through the water.

The man seemed to have encountered some happy event, and his mouth was grinning. Looking at the fairy man who rushed towards him, he also slapped in front of him: "Liubo Chong!"

Xian'er was expressionless, facing the impact of the water column, and at the moment when her body met the water column, Xian'er turned around like a butterfly, dodged the water column, and was like a flower elf, jumping but quickly approaching the man.

The gray-eyed man sneered, his hands quickly crossed in front of him, and gray spiritual power rippled around the man.

Seeing this, Ah Qing's pupils shrank, and he remembered something.

"Xian'er don't!" Ah Qing shouted! The figure rushed towards Xian'er who was about to slap the gray-eyed man's chest with a palm, and just when Xian'er's palm was about to touch the gray spiritual power, Ah Qing hugged Xian'er's slender waist and swept aside.

The fairy who was hugged looked stunned and looked at Ah Qing.

Ah Qing tried his best to hide the tremor in his voice, and said, "Xian'er, this is a hidden spirit!"

Xian'er opened her mouth and looked at the man again, her body was covered with gray spiritual power, and the water-attribute spiritual energy in the water of the Zhanghe River was being absorbed in large quantities. The river was mixed with gray threads that emanated from him.

The man sneered: "There is nowhere to find when you step on the iron shoes, if I absorb the spiritual power of your spirit clan, my strength will improve in an instant, and my future cultivation will be even brighter!"

The spirit clan, if you don't enter the "Shenhua introverted" spirit level realm, the special spiritual power is easy to be discovered.

And the "hidden spirit" has an unusually keen sense of smell for the spirit race.

Ah Qing looked at this man who must be a "hidden spirit", and the golden light rippled around him, and there was a layer of light under this light, which was fiery red!

Xian'er, whose waist was still hugged by Ah Qing, looked up at Ah Qing's side face, her bright eyes were full of bloodshot at the moment after being underwater for too long and suffering from internal injuries.

The red-clothed fairy took off the slightly slanted phoenix crown on her head, and her pink hair was completely spread out, swaying behind her in the water.

......
