Chapter 22: The Secret of the Soul Eater
The three of them walked into the courtyard with the middle-aged man, and found that there were two other women in the courtyard, a thin old lady half-lying on a rocking chair, comfortably basking in the sun.
Another middle-aged woman, dressed in shabby clothes, had a large wooden basin in front of her, soaked with dirty clothes, and she was washing her clothes with her sleeves rolled up.
When she saw the living people coming in, she quickly stood up and looked at them with a stern attitude.
The old lady raised her eyelids and glanced at it, and then said to the middle-aged woman: "Bastard, who let you get up, is the work done, useless things, hurry up and work!"
The middle-aged woman shuddered, sat down hurriedly, and continued to scrub her clothes.
The old lady glanced at her disdainfully, then turned her face to the man and asked, "Feng'er, who are they?"
"Mother, I don't know them, they said they had a good gift for us, so I called them in. ”
The old lady looked at Mu Jinyun and the others seriously, and saw that the three of them were dressed in the clothes of a rich family, and their demeanor did not look like ordinary people, so she hurriedly scolded the middle-aged woman: "Something that has no eyesight, don't you see that a guest has arrived, why don't you hurry up and move a chair for the guest." ”
The middle-aged woman agreed, stood up and wiped her hands with her apron, and ran into the house in a panic.
After a while, he moved out three chairs and politely invited Mu Jinyun and others to take a seat.
Mu Jinyun nodded in thanks, smiled and said to her: "Thank you eldest sister for giving me a seat, Sister Gong and I are both subordinates, how can we be equal to Miss, we just stand." ”
As he spoke, he helped Xiao Hatfeng to sit down, and he and Gong Shaoxue stood on his left and right.
The middle-aged woman was still polite, but the old lady was unhappy again, and scolded loudly: "How can you speak in front of the guests, you are lazy and lazy, hurry up and work." ”
The woman's eyes were red, and she did not dare to resist the old lady's obscenity, so she lowered her head and returned to the wooden basin, sat down and continued to scrub her clothes.
Mu Jinyun saw everything in his eyes, and deliberately glanced at the middle-aged man, seeing his indifferent expression, his face couldn't help but become ugly.
This lord is a serious wife-loving maniac.,The most despised thing in his life is the guy who doesn't cherish his wife.,His consistent point of view is,It's not good for his own woman.,Is it still a fucking man.。
If you marry a daughter-in-law and don't love her, then what do you do when you marry her back, just to pass on the lineage, why are your tadpoles so valuable.
There is no need to guess, this tricky old lady must be her mother-in-law, the angry bag should be the daughter-in-law, and this indifferent guy is the husband.
Mu Jinyun felt very unhappy, and his tone became stiff, "Old lady, it seems that you are the one in charge." ”
"The guest has good eyesight, the old body is the head of the family, and if the guest has any matter, just tell the old body. The old lady replied politely.
Mu Jinyun didn't bother to talk nonsense with her, pointed at Xiao Hatfeng and said, "This is the little master of my family, we came here, this..."
Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Gong Shaoxue, "Sister Gong, where is this?"
"Tianze never sleeps in the city. Gong Shaoxue replied with a smile.
Damn, it's really a city that never sleeps, Mu Jinyun almost didn't scream.
coughed, and then continued: "Let's go to the city that never sleeps, my little master has taken a fancy to your mansion and plans to pay for it, old lady, make a price!"
The old lady was stunned, who are these people, how can anyone who wants to buy someone else's house as soon as she enters the house, she doesn't think of herself as an outsider.
Before she could say no, Mu Jinyun said quietly: "Old woman, before answering, you have to think clearly, for you mortals, this is a great creation, which can make your family enjoy endless glory and wealth, if you refuse, it is equivalent to throwing away a lot of wealth." ”
Without waiting for the old lady to react, the middle-aged man preemptively asked, "Excuse me, are you immortal masters?"
Mu Jinyun nodded with a smile, "You kid has good eyesight, yes, we are all immortal masters, boy, your family's luck is here." ”
......
Mu Jinyun and the others successfully bought the house, in front of a large amount of wealth and a few longevity pills, the ability of mortals to resist temptation was basically zero, and the mother and son almost did not hesitate, and happily sold the house and moved.
When parting, Mu Jinyun solemnly warned them:
"You two listen carefully, the reason why your family has this creation is due to the merits of your daughter-in-law in her previous life, you must treat her well in the future, if you dare to continue to bully her, you will definitely provoke the gods to condemn you, and then a great disaster will come, you must do it yourself. ”
The old lady and her son hurriedly kowtowed to the sky, swore that they would be good to their daughter-in-law in the future, and would never dare to make the gods angry again.
Sending off the original owner, Mu Jinyun closed the courtyard door, walked back and picked up Xiao Hatfeng, and lay on the rocking chair by himself.
"Little rabbit, you move quite fast, there is a brother-in-law at home, is this recliner where you are lying?"
"Brother-in-law, why are you trying to scare them?" asked Xiao Hatfeng with a grin.
"How I scared them, I was telling the truth. ”
"Fart, tell the truth, how can any gods condemn crimes, mortals in the fairy world are as cheap as ants, who will care about their life and death. ”
"I pay attention, am I not the king of Tianze, then I am the god of Tianze, if they dare to disobey my admonition, I will let them know what life is better than death. ”
Xiao Hatfeng stuck out his tongue, "That's right, my brother-in-law is a god, but he can determine the life and death of the people of the world, and it's really not nonsense for the gods to condemn him." ”
"I didn't expect you to be able to fight for that woman, you are quite enthusiastic. Gong Shaoxue interjected with a smile.
"I'm not upset, I'm just not used to being a mother-in-law's bad words and deeds, and I'm not used to being a husband's indifference, I hope they can reform and the family can live together. ”
Gong Shaoxue sighed, "If they stay away from this city, there is still a chance to mend their ways, if they continue to choose to settle here, I'm afraid there is no such possibility!"
Speaking of this, Gong Shaoxue teased, "Mu Dashan, your opportunity to accumulate great merit has come, since you are so enthusiastic, hurry up and go out to tell everyone that a catastrophe is about to befall here, let them escape from the city that never sleeps immediately." ”
Mu Jinyun straightened up and asked curiously, "What kind of catastrophe, is it related to the Soul Devouring Abyss?"
Gong Shaoxue nodded, and replied with a serious expression: "Yes, the Soul Eater Abyss is not a fixed place name, it can swim underground, and it will appear every once in a while, whenever it appears, within a radius of thousands of miles, people and animals are all killed, so it is called the Soul Eater Abyss." ”
Mu Jinyun became nervous and asked with some uncertainty, "What does the fairy mean that it will appear in the city that never sleeps?"
Gong Shaoxue pointed to the ground with her finger, "It is hidden in the city hundreds of feet, and in seven days, it will be when it appears, and at that time, this city that never sleeps will become a dead city." ”
Mu Jinyun jumped up, "Then you still buy a fart house, hurry up and run!"
Gong Shaoxue chuckled, "Why do you want to run, can you still go into the abyss to hunt for treasures after running, don't you still understand why I want to buy this mansion?"
Mu Jinyun shook his head and looked at her blankly, but Xiao Hatfeng woke up, clapped his hands and said, "I know, this is a living door where you can live." ”
"Yes, this is the only living gate and the only entrance. Gong Shaoxue said this, pointed to the well on the side of the courtyard and added, "Have you seen that well, it is the gateway to the abyss." ”
"Are you sure it's this courtyard, I suggest the fairy check it carefully, so that you don't find out that you bought the wrong place at that time. Mu Jinyun replied uncomfortably.
"Why are you like this?" Gong Shaoxue shouted dissatisfiedly, "That's right, if you don't believe me, you can leave now." ”
Mu Jinyun didn't dare to leave after all, and laughed twice, "It's not that I don't believe you, I'm kind to remind you, by the way, what is the Soul Devouring Abyss?"
Gong Shaoxue glanced at him, but still answered his question, "It's not good, it's like a whirlpool, the outside is formless and substantial, and there is a world inside." Every time it appears, it devours a large number of living souls, and that thing is so evil that no one can tell what it is. ”
"Snow fairy, since it is so dangerous, how can you conclude that there is a treasure in it, could it be that the information you got is not accurate. ”
"No, the news I got must be accurate, in fact, the Soul Eater Abyss is not so terrifying, for Dao Monarch Realm monks, it is like their own back garden, the place where we want to explore the secret was once the cave of a Dao Monarch's predecessor. Gong Shaoxue replied affirmatively.
"Dao Jun, isn't the peak of cultivation the peeping Dao period, and what kind of cultivation is Dao Jun?"
"The peeping period is your goal to catch up with me, but it is not the peak of cultivation, there are also the initiation period, the enlightenment period and the Dao period, and then the Dao monarch period. ”
Mu Jinyun suddenly realized, "It turns out that the Dao Monarch is the pinnacle of cultivation, and that senior hid the cave mansion in the Soul Devouring Abyss, which is an excellent arrangement not to disturb." ”
"Daojun is not the pinnacle of cultivation, you listen to my advice, and don't inquire about cultivation in the future, for you, those goals are too far away, and cultivating in a down-to-earth manner is what you should do the most. ”
Mu Jinyun laughed self-deprecatingly a few times and touched his nose in embarrassment.
Gong Shaoxue continued: "What you said later is correct, that Daojun senior should also think so, so he built a cave mansion there, and now that cave mansion is deserted, but he should leave some good things." ”
Mu Jinyun lay down again, "Okay, I'm here anyway, I'll go crazy with you, I'll admit it to life and death, and the fairy will be happy." ”
Gong Shaoxue Jiao laughed, "Why are you so frustrated, since I dare to let you come, I am fully sure that you will be safe, maybe you can still encounter a big opportunity." ”
"I don't care if it's a chance or not, I just ask the fairy not to let me hang up, and shepherd someone is grateful. ”
