"Crackling!"

Chen Jianchen burned a piece of bamboo, and the bamboo made a crackling sound, just like the sound of firecrackers in the previous life - the New Year is over.

Compared with last year, after moving into Jiangzhou City Mansion, the Chen family is much more deserted, not as lively as when they were in Jingyang Village, the place where Liaozhai is located is a bit remote, there are not many neighborhoods, and the relationship between each other is also very ordinary, without too much friendship.

Chinese New Year's Eve, eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Chen Jianchen asked Ah Bao to invite Lu Xiyu to come over for dinner, Mo Sanniang over there heard it, and when Ah Bao went out, he called his son and asked: "Liuxian, do you have something to do with Nalu girl?"

Chen Jianchen hesitated for a moment and said vaguely: "The child and her have experienced something in Suzhou. ”

Mo Sanniang nodded: "Miss Lu is a good girl, although the neighbors say that she used to be a cleaner in the Bird Walking Building, and there are some discussions, but so what? ”

The sentence "my mother likes it very much" is equivalent to encouraging Chen Jianchen to pursue it.

Mo Sanniang is not one of those uninformed women, she is relatively open.

Chen Jianchen smiled: "Children will be measured. ”

Not long after, Lu Xi came over, wearing a well-fitting plain red-edged dress, covered with a jacket, looking bewitching, with a thin grease powder on a pretty face, bright as water, and rippling with its own style. I don't know if it's because of the fact that I am a year older, my body has begun to grow, as if I am taller again, and my chest is bulging, and it is already very large.

She first greeted Mo Sanniang and Chen Jianchen, and then rolled up her sleeves and entered the kitchen, very skillfully cooking with Po for the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Mo Sanniang originally told her not to do anything, but where was Lu Xiyue willing to sit in the hall and wait for food? Seeing her so sensible and hardworking, Mo Sanniang liked it a little more.

Ah Bao and Lu Xiyo, two girls who can be said to be still "loli" level, worked together, with sharp hands and feet, and it didn't take half an hour to open a table full of Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, enough to have nine dishes and one soup, which was very rich.

Chen Jianchen stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth, and suddenly felt smooth and delicate, very delicious, so he praised: "This chicken is cooked well." ”

Lu Xiyue's face was a little red, and he said, "Thank you for the compliment." ”

It turned out that this dish was made by her, Chen Jianchen said with a smile: "You don't have to be too restrained if you make an appointment, it's better to be like Ah Bao in the future, and call me Brother Liuxian." ”

Lu Xiyue thought about it for a while, got up and saluted: "Okay, thank you Brother Liuxian." In her mind, her "Brother Liuxian" and Bao's "Brother Liuxian" are fundamentally different, and there is more intimacy in them.

Ah Bao watched from the side, his dark eyes flickered, and he picked up a lion's head and put it in Chen Jianchen's bowl: "Brother Liuxian, you can also try the braised lion head made by Ah Bao." ”

Chen Jianchen took a bite unceremoniously and praised: "Yes, Bao's cooking skills seem to have gone to the next level. ”

Po laughed so hard that both of his eyes turned into crooked crescents.

This sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner passed in a harmonious and pleasant atmosphere, and Chen Jianchen had an excellent appetite and ate heartily, which was really painful.

After the meal, Chen Jianchen sent Lu Xiyue back to Jinzhenzhai, and when they parted at the door, Lu Xiyue was a little reluctant to hold Chen Jianchen's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Brother Liuxian, can you make an appointment with Xixi?"

Chen Jianchen was stunned, and saw Lu Xiyue's delicate and infinitely pretty face through the faint light of the lantern, and suddenly felt pity, stretched out his hands and gently hugged her into his arms.

The delicate body was in her arms, trembling slightly.

Chen Jianchen himself felt a little nervous - although he was traveling through the crowd, he was still a junior brother in this regard, whether in his previous life or in this life, and he didn't know where to put his two hands. finally figured out the location, and was about to start, but Lu Xiyue in his arms left softly, lowered his head and said, "Brother Liuxian, I entered the house." ”

Turned back and entered the Golden Needle Zhai.

Chen Jianchen shook his head and smiled, and walked back to his home on the other side.

It was unusually cold tonight, and when it was time for the sky to fall again, the snow fell like a white feather.

Chen Jianchen sat in the study warm by the charcoal fire, drinking the hot tea made by Bao, listening to the sound of snow falling outside, his mood was ethereal, and he didn't think about anything.

Creak!

Suddenly, a very familiar cry came from the south corner of the study, and then Xiaoyi's body came out of the hidden hole very quickly, and when it saw Chen Jianchen, it immediately jumped on the desk very excitedly.

"Huh?"

Chen Jianchen deliberately made a face.

Seeing this, Xiaoyi hurriedly put his two little paws together and respectfully saluted: "Xiaoyi has seen Childe, I wish Childe a Happy New Year!"

Chen Jianchen smiled: "Xiaoyi, why did you come alone?" He saw Xiaoyi, and now his body was obviously fatter than before, and his fur was almost white, as if he had become a guinea mouse. He was wearing a horse coat sewn from a new yellow fabric, presumably from Ying Ning's hand.

A little mouse in a yellow coat!

Xiao Yi hurriedly said: "Childe is like this, Sister Ying Ning has been in retreat in Wosong Cave, and she has a feeling in her heart recently, and she may be able to condense the Jin Dan soon, so she thought about waiting for the Jin Dan to condense and change before coming to Childe." ”

"What? Ying Ning is about to produce a golden pill?"

Chen Jianchen was pleasantly surprised.

You must know that it is not easy for demons to condense the golden pill, except for some innate species, if ordinary demons want to achieve the golden pill avenue after they are enlightened and wise, the most important thing is to have a formal method, and secondly, it takes a long time to cultivate and accumulate. And now that Ying Ning has been enlightened for a very short time, he can actually condense the golden pill, and the progress is really incomparable.

Xiao Yi said: "Sister Ying Ning cultivates very hard, she finally completely refined the Taoist book "Kunlun Yuqing Mantra", plus the spiritual vein bonus of Wosong Cave, her cultivation can be thousands of miles in a day. ”

Chen Jianchen sighed, and suddenly asked: "Ying Ning is about to marry Dan, what about Xiaoyi, what are the results of your penance for many days?" ”

Xiao Yi smiled and scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Xiao Yi's talent is far inferior to Sister Ying Ning, and his cultivation realm has not made much progress, but he has finally learned the stealth technique." ”

Chen Jianchen said with a straight face: "I'm afraid that you are often lazy." ”

was said by the child, Xiaoyi immediately stood upright, lowered his head, like a child who made a mistake, and wanted to accept the lessons of his elders unconditionally.

"You, you......"

Chen Jianchen picked up a brush and lightly knocked three times on Xiaoyi's head. However, he also knew that Xiaoyi's nature was like this, and it was difficult to change in a short period of time, and it was not good to reprimand him too much, so he asked: "You have learned the stealth technique, and you can show it for me." ”

"Yes!"

Xiao Yi recited a mantra, turned around three hundred and sixty degrees on the spot, said that it was too late, that it was fast, swish, the whole body emitted a circle of light, and his body disappeared from Chen Jianchen's sight.

Invisibility!

It's really mysterious......

No matter how Chen Jianchen opened his eyes wide, he couldn't see where Xiaoyi was. He suddenly remembered that in those myths and legends, the gods often used this stealth trick to trick the enemy, which was tried and tested repeatedly, and it was very useful.

After a while, Xiaoyi appeared on the spot and said, "Childe, Xiaoyi's mana is shallow, and the stealth effect can only be maintained for a stick of incense for a long time, Sister Ying Ning is powerful, she can last for an hour." ”

Since stealth belongs to the category of spells, of course, it will consume mana, and it must not be used without restrictions. Although Xiaoyi's stealth technique can only last for a stick of incense now, it can still play a significant role at certain moments.

Chen Jianchen pondered for a moment and asked, "Xiaoyi, when are you going to go back to Fengshan?"

I heard Xiaoyi reply respectfully: "Childe, Xiaoyi will not go back, from now on, he will accompany Childe and follow the work of dogs and mice." ”

Chen Jianchen asked, "Aren't you going back to Wosong Cave to cultivate?"

Xiaoyi said: "Sister Ying Ning said that the people of the imperial court would come to rob the Lying Song Cave, so she arranged a Qimen formation that she learned from the Taoist book. This formation can speed up the play of the spiritual veins of the Lying Song Cave, and at the same time, the speed of the depletion of the spiritual veins will also be greatly accelerated. ”

I see, the daring infant Ning Xiu's rapid progress also has a lot to do with this formation.

Chen Jianchen's mind flashed, and he suddenly said urgently: "Ying Ning condensed the golden pill, isn't that also going to cross the heavenly tribulation?"

Xiaoyi said: "Well, it's to cross the catastrophe." ”

Chen Jianchen slapped his thigh and said, "If you cross the catastrophe, I can help her." Well, Xiaoyi, Ying Ning said that when will she probably get married?"

Xiaoyi said: "There is no accurate number for this, but Sister Ying Ning said that it will be three months later at the earliest." ”

Three months is not too short, and there is still plenty of time to respond.

Chen Jianchen sighed - the last time he helped Jiao Na cross the tribulation, he held the demon attraction sword and introduced her inner demon into his body, thus greatly sharing the danger and pressure faced by Jiao Na during the tribulation, so that she could successfully cross the tribulation. This method is also applicable to Ying Ning.

Seeing this, when Chen Jianchen and Huangfu's father and daughter separated, they had already foreseen that they asked the other party to give him the demon sword, and now they treasure it in the study. I thought that Ying Ning would not survive the catastrophe so quickly, but the truth was always beyond imagination, and it would not be long before the Demon Attracting Sword came in handy again.

Chen Jianchen suddenly thought that he could use Haoran Yangwu Sword to kill the demons in his heart and help people cross the catastrophe, this is a very practical function, could it be that he still has the potential to be a "catastrophe assistance expert"?

Of course, he wouldn't be stupid enough to write a signboard and carry it around to solicit business. It's okay to help the people or demons around you occasionally, but as for being a professional, it's better to be free.

"Well, Xiaoyi, you better go back to Fengshan, I'll write a letter, and you give it to Ying Ning. ”

"Okay. ”

Soon, Chen Jianchen worked hard to write a letter and stuffed it into a pocket on the left side of Xiaoyi's yellow coat - Ying Ning was really ingenious, and he actually left a pocket on the gown with ingenuity, could it be that it was left for Xiaoyi's red envelope?

After taking the letter, Xiaoyi said goodbye, jumped off the desk, and went out from the "queen" tunnel again.
