Chapter 14: Persuasion
Shen Xiyuan sat down beside Ling Qian'er and asked softly, "Why did you sneak out?"
Ling Qian'er changed her clean hands to grab snacks to eat, and Longyu washed her handkerchief and began to wipe her other hand.
Shen Xiyuan saw that she didn't answer, so he said, "Come with me to Ningxian Mountain, and I will hand you over to Wen Renzhen safely." ”
Ling Qian'er shook her head and said, "I'm not going." ”
Shen Xiyuan said: "You are the apprentice of the Demon King, how can you wander in the world?"
Ling Qian'er was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "How do you know that I am the apprentice of the Demon King?"
Shen Xiyuan said: "The bird of the demon god of Wu Yuan sent a letter, which contains your portrait and your master's handwritten letter, and he asked me to tell the Taoist priests in the world not to hurt you. I also saw a notice looking for you next to the cloth village today, and the reward is quite a lot. ”
Ling Qian'er said in her heart: "Spend a lot of money to find me, are you in such a hurry to arrest me back to the demon realm, do you still want to continue to beat me?"
Ling Qian'er frowned and said, "If you go back, you may be beaten to death by the master." ”
Shen Xiyuan said: "Your master is very worried about you, how could he beat you?"
Ling Qian'er snorted: "What do you know? It was because I beat me that I ran out, and if I returned to Lingshan, Master would definitely break my legs, in case I got sick...... If you send me back, you're a murderer. ”
Shen Xiyuan smiled and said, "How is it possible?" The words of that letter are full of the Demon King's deep worry and anxiety, did you make some trouble and dare not go back?"
Ling Qian'er said: "I didn't, they wronged me first, anyway, I won't go to Ning Xian Mountain, and I won't go back to the demon world." ”
Seeing that she was so stubborn, Shen Xiyuan threw a spell into the sky, and a transparent barrier fell, firmly enclosing the room.
Ling Qian'er said angrily: "You are really a gentleman in vain, you can hand me over for a few taels of silver." If you want money, I'll give it to you. ”
Ling Qian'er threw the small money bag on the table, and a few golden melon seeds fell out.
Shen Xiyuan stared at the daffodils embroidered on the money bag, and said in his heart: "If I steal this money bag, I will really be a gentleman in vain, right?"
When Longyu heard this, he was very displeased, the master is a righteous man and a gentleman, and his prestige in the world is extremely high.
He wanted to argue with her, but Shen Xiyuan waved his hand at the apprentice.
Shen Xiyuan was not annoyed when he heard this, and gently persuaded: "Life in the world is not as good as you think, if I hadn't arrived in time today, you would definitely have been eaten alive by that female ghost, right? You don't even have a weapon on your body, so you dare to go into the mountains and forests at night? Also, a demon like you who has no mark, a Taoist priest can be killed at will, the master and apprentice in this inn are still shallow, you can get away with it, if you meet a cultivator with high cultivation, you can kill you with a sword." ”
Ling Qian'er said with tears in her eyes: "My master really doesn't care for me, he won't even give me the mark." ”
Shen Xiyuan said: "As for why your master didn't give you a mark, I guess, he probably never thought that one day you would leave his sight." Qian'er, the teacher who loves you so much......"
Ling Qian'er covered her ears, stopped eating snacks, and lay on the bed and covered with a quilt.
Shen Xiyuan shook his head, left quietly with Longyu, and wrote a letter to the demon king when he returned to the guest room, saying that he would take Lingqian'er to Ningxian Mountain in a few days, and ask the demon king to rest assured.
The next morning, a bird brought two reply letters, one to Shen Xiyuan, expressing his gratitude. The other was for Ling Qian'er, and Shen Xiyuan took the letter and knocked on the door.
Lingqian'er was still losing her temper: "I don't take medicine, I don't eat, don't bother me." ”
Shen Xiyuan pushed the door open.
Ling Qian'er sat on the bed with unkempt hair and dirty face, and gave him a fierce slap in the eyes when she saw him.
Shen Xiyuan smiled slightly and handed the letter to her: "This is a letter from the Demon King to you. ”
Ling Qian'er took it in disbelief, and after opening it, she saw that there were only four words on the letter: Master was wrong.
Ling Qian'er instantly burst into tears.
Shen Xiyuan patted her gently on the back and said in a coaxing tone, "Do you want to boil some hot water for you and take a bath." ”
Ling Qian'er raised her head, wiped her nose with her sleeve, wiped her face, and said, "A bowl of hot water is enough, but it's ......."
Shen Xiyuan said: "I bought you clothes, Longyu ......"
Longyu stood in the doorway, waiting for orders.
Shen Xiyuan said: "Go to my room and bring the burden on the table." Then let the kitchen make more food, and bring Qian'er's medicine as well. ”
Lingqian turned into a daffodil, fluttering in the bowl, and Longyu placed the package on her bed.
About a moment later, Shen Xiyuan asked her outside, "Have you changed your clothes?"
Ling Qian'er said, "Okay!"
After receiving the master's apology, Ling Qian'er was in a much better mood and went to open the door in person.
The moment he opened the door, Shen Xiyuan was stunned.
The demon is the most charming and bewitching in the Three Realms, but Ling Qian'er is completely different, the big eyes of the aura cover up the enchantment of the demon, more innocence, a slightly melancholy face, which makes people feel pity, and the skin as white as snow is matched with this blue Luo skirt, like an elf fairy who has fallen into the world.
Several disciples walked upstairs, and Shen Xiyuan withdrew his gaze.
There were two pairs of dishes and chopsticks on the table, as well as a pot of fruit wine, Lingqian'er had been awkward all night, and she was really hungry at this time. However, in the face of these four meat and four vegetables, she still only picks sweet and sour dishes to eat, Shen Xiyuan saw this, so he put the sweet and sour pork ribs in front of her, and personally picked the spines of the sweet and sour fish for her.
Longyu looked at the master's actions, slightly displeased, even if she was the apprentice of the demon king, she didn't have to take care of her so carefully.
Seeing that she was full of food, Shen Xiyuan cautiously asked her, "Can you tell me why you ran away from home?"
Ling Qian'er picked up a chicken leg and gnawed on it and said, "They wronged me for setting fire to the inn, and the master punished me with a cane, and I was beaten twice." ”
Thinking of the events of that day, Ling Qian'er was still angry.
Shen Xiyuan said: "Just for this?"
Ling Qian'er said: "Is this a trivial matter? Obviously, it was the silver-haired woman who set the fire, but the master didn't believe me, and after listening to that group of people, he really punished me." ”
Shen Xiyuan said: "Perhaps, your master doesn't believe you, it's just that there are some things that he has to do." ”
Ling Qian'er tilted her head and asked him, "What has to be done? ”
Shen Xiyuan also drank a glass of wine with her, and said with emotion: "To govern a demon world, where is it so easy, you are still too young, and you don't understand many things." ”
Ling Qian'er retorted: "Isn't it easy to wrongfully accuse the innocent and frame Zhongliang?"
When Longyu heard this, she smiled rarely, and immediately returned to her seriousness.
Seeing Longyu smiling secretly, Ling Qian'er lowered her head and thought about it, the word "Zhongliang" was not appropriate, so she asked Shen Xiyuan: "What if you are replaced by Brother Xiyuan, will you punish innocent people in order to appease the anger of the Ghost King?"
Brother Hee-won!
Shen Xiyuan repeated these four words in his heart.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Ling Qian'er asked, "What do you say?" ”
Shen Xiyuan smiled: "No, and I believe you." ”
Ling Qian'er asked, "Why?"
Shen Xiyuan said: "Because you said you didn't do it." ”
He then smiled slightly, like a warm morning light, which can dispel all gloom and heal all pain.
Lingqian'er: "......"
She immediately warned herself: "I already have a black cicada who is determined to love me for life, and the one in front of me is not worthy of me, a little demon." The Three Senses Society, the black cicada should also go, right? I haven't seen him for a few days, and I miss him again. ”
Shen Xiyuan saw her pondering, thinking that she missed the demon king, put down the chopsticks and said, "Tomorrow we will set off to Ningxian Mountain, and you will soon be able to see your master." ”
Early the next morning, Shen Xiyuan and the disciples stood at the door of the inn, they were all wearing Xuanhu furs, and the yellow-robed old Taoist thanked Shen Xiyuan, and left with his apprentices.
Longyu was about to pay for the room, and the innkeeper hurriedly excused himself: "The Taoist killed the monster in the mountain, and the people in the city are very grateful. ”
Shen Xiyuan smiled lightly: "It is our responsibility to subdue demons and eliminate demons, and I should pay you for bothering you here these days, Longyu ......"
Longyu stuffed the silver taels into the innkeeper's hand, and the boss had to accept it, and he, along with the people in the city, bowed deeply to Shen Xiyuan and the others.
Ling Qian'er was still wearing yesterday's Xiao Luo skirt, which was a little thin.
Shen Xiyuan draped a red fox fur over her, and there was a layer of soft fox fur around the hat.
The Langke sword was horizontal in front of it, becoming several times larger, Shen Xiyuan helped Ling Qian'er to step on it, and the group of swords flew towards Ning Xian Mountain.
The people in the city looked at the Taoist priest who was gradually moving away, and said in their mouths: "Living immortals, living immortals." ”
"That's Shen Xiyuan in Dongcheng, who is an immortal. ”
The cold wind whistled by, and Ling Qian'er shivered slightly.
Shen Xiyuan stood behind her, put her hat on, took off his fox fur, and draped it over her.
It was much warmer in an instant, but Shen Xiyuan only had a single coat left on his body.
As soon as Ling Qian'er was about to take off the fox fur and return it to him, Shen Xiyuan held her hand and said, "It's okay, the road is not very far, I said that I will hand you over to Wen Renzhen safely." ”
Ling Qian'er gradually felt uneasy in her heart, what should she say when she sees her master later?
Longyu flew over, took off his fox fur, and put it on Shen Xiyuan.
Ling Qian'er followed Shen Xiyuan Imperial Sword, and was not as scared as when she was with Zhiyu Imperial Sword, the Langke Sword was extremely stable, and the up and down turns and fluctuations were very small.
The farther north you fly, the colder it gets, the green mountains fade away, and in front of you are a continuous stream of snow-capped mountains, occasionally green pines, which are covered with thick snow.
Ling Qian'er had never seen snow before, so she couldn't help but look around, Shen Xiyuan covered her eyes and said, "Don't look at it for too long, it's easy to be snow blind." ”
Snow blindness, what is snow blindness, before I had time to ask him, I felt that the Langke sword was falling.
Shen Xiyuan reached out to help her, and Ling Qian'er grabbed his strong forearm.
The group slowly fell to the ground.
Shen Xiyuan returned the fox fur to Longyu, Longyu was obviously frozen, and his hands were trembling when he picked up the fox fur, Shen Xiyuan put his hand on his shoulder, and the warm spiritual power was slowly injected, and in less than a moment, Longyu eased up.
Ling Qian'er looked around, the place where everyone fell was at the foot of the snow-capped mountain, and there were two bright red doorposts standing in front of them, a plaque was horizontal on the doorpost, and the dark plaque was engraved: Ningxian Mountain.
Behind the gatepost, there is a wide stone staircase that leads to the top of the mountain.
Ling Qian'er draped the fox fur on Shen Xiyuan's body and quickly tied the strap on his collar.
The surroundings are covered in silver, only Lingqian'er is wearing a bright red fox fur, which is extremely conspicuous in this silver-white world, like a red plum blooming in the wind and snow, gorgeous and dazzling, as bright as a red glow.
Shen Xiyuan was stunned again.
