Chapter 13: Accusations
Yan Qingyun hummed the tune she heard from Zhang Yuan all the way back to her yard, and before she entered the courtyard, a figure threw herself into her arms.
"Miss, why did you go out alone and don't take me with you. Qingxue hugged Sajiao and said, "Jiang Gongzi is waiting for you in the living room." ”
"Who asked you to put him in. Hurry up and get him out, I'm going to rest. Yan Qingyun was suddenly unhappy, her face was full of frost.
"Jiang Gongzi, he wants to come in, and one of my maids can stop him. Qingxue took her hand and shook it, "It seems that I am looking for you for something?"
"I heard that Sister Qingyun's trial this time has gained a lot, and I came to congratulate her. Out of the door came a slender young man, dressed in black, his face was slightly dark and shiny, and he looked very sunny, but a pair of peach blossom eyes made people look uncomfortable.
"Don't bother Senior Brother, I'm tired and I'm going back to my room to rest. Yan Qingyun said expressionlessly, and after speaking, she bypassed him and prepared to enter the house.
"Qing Yun, this string of pearls is given to you, this time I went to the Star Lake to find more than a dozen century-old star mussels to take them out, you take them with you, there will never be a shortage of water vitality around, and it can also increase your demeanor. Jiang Yingwu's figure flickered in front of her, and he handed over a string of pearls and said.
"Senior Brother Xie's kindness, you should keep this thing for yourself, Qingxue will send you off. Yan Qingyun bypassed him again, jumped directly into the room, and slammed the door shut.
Jiang Yingwu's face behind him turned even darker, and his hand stopped in the air so awkwardly.
"Such a beautiful pearl, Jiang Gongzi might as well give it to me. Qingxue suddenly put her hand in front of him and said jokingly.
He thought about it, this girl looked good, she seemed to be a female, and said with a slight smile: "Since Sister Qingxue likes it, I'll give it to you." ”
"Oh, Childe really gave it to me!" Qingxue smiled happily.
"Can I still joke with you, sister! Jiang Yingwu stuffed the pearl into Qingxue's hand, touched the back of her hand, and gently spared her palm with her little finger, and immediately saw her running into the room with a red face.
Qingxue closed the door, calmed down behind the door, and touched her face, which was still a little hot, before walking towards Yan Qingyun's boudoir.
Qingxue entered the room and saw that Miss was writing something at the table, so she hung the pearl around her neck and came to the table: "Miss, how do you think I brought this string? ”
Yan Qingyun looked at Qingxue, who was taking care of herself in front of her, slapped the table and said angrily: "Qingxue, who wants you to accept this, I said I don't want it." ”
"This, Jiang Gongzi gave it to me. Qingxue explained in a low voice.
"Is there a difference between what you accept and what I receive, and you will return it to me tomorrow. ”
"Don't, I think this string is pretty good, can I keep him" Qingxue walked around the table and grabbed Yan Qingyun's hand.
"Qingxue, don't you even listen to me now?" Yan Qingyun looked at her coldly: "I'm going to retreat tomorrow, if I come back and see this pearl in your hand, you won't follow me again in the future." ”
"Well, I'll go and return it to him tomorrow, and if he doesn't want me, I'll still do it, so it's okay!" Qingxue took off the pearl and whispered with a pouted mouth.
Three months later, on a full moon night, Yan Qingyun came to the big black stone alone, and heard the melodious voice from a distance, listened carefully, but felt that the sound was crisp, as if she heard the sound of birds, flowers, and spring water, and for a while I didn't know if it was real or illusory.
Yan Qingyun listened quietly not far away, and waited until the voice stopped, then jumped on the stage and asked in a low voice: "This time it seems to be different from what I heard before, but it is still as good, what is this?"
Zhang Yuan lay on top of the boulder, folded his hands behind his head, looked at the full moon and said slowly: "This is a flute, a musical instrument in my hometown, and a friend taught me to play it." ”
Yan Qingyun also sat beside Zhang Yuan with her knees crossed, looked into the distance and said, "Actually, the first time I heard you blow this flute, I cried, and I was teased by Qingxue for a while." ”
Zhang Yuan looked at her sitting on the side, her long hair hung down to her waist like a waterfall, and the faint fragrance of her hair drilled into her mind, and she couldn't help but touch the idea with her hands, and asked curiously: "My song is missing the old people in the distance, who is my senior sister thinking about?"
Yan Qingyun glanced at him and said with some sadness: "My mother, she disappeared twenty years ago. ”
"I'm sorry to mention that you're sad. ”
"It doesn't matter. ”
Both of them fell silent.
"You're not here just to talk to me. "Can you teach me to blow this. Neither of them wanted to be silent like this, and spoke at the same time.
The two looked at each other and smiled, "Yes, it's my honor to serve a beautiful woman." I'm going to make a flute tomorrow or no, I'm going to make a flute right now. Then he got up and did it.
Yan Qingyun hurriedly grabbed him: "Then there is such a hurry, I still have something to tell you." After a pause, he said: "In the future, don't call people beautiful women like this, not like serious people." ”
Zhang Yuan spared his head and said continuously: "In the future, I will never call others beauties, how can others call them beauties." It's just that the senior sister is the beauty. Seeing her raised her eyebrows, she hurriedly said, "Senior sister has something to do with junior brother, just ask." ”
Yan Qingyun looked at him angrily, and said solemnly: "Tell you, prepare well in the past few days, five days later, our peak is going to explore Peach Blossom Mountain, this time we are leaving Yanfeng to prepare to collect Peach Blossom Mountain as an outer peak, so the reward will be very high, I specially helped you ask for this place." ”
"Senior sister, why do you think of harvesting Peach Blossom Mountain at this time? Zhang Yuan thought for a while and asked: "And I heard that this time they went to Peach Blossom Mountain to practice, and two people were missing, one of whom was Tian Xingjian." Zhang Yuan couldn't help but feel a little sad when he said Tian Xingjian, when he came to this world, two people who were good to him died.
"You don't know everything, Peach Blossom Mountain is close to the galaxy, and the radius is not more than a hundred miles, originally such a mountain is not good, but this experience, I found a lot of good things in it, and there is a spiritual spring, so my father decided. Yan Qingyun explained: "Don't be sad about Tian Xingjian, the cultivators of my generation have no way to live and die. I was only ten years old when my mother disappeared, more than twenty years later!!"
Seeing that her interest was low, Zhang Yuan hurriedly asked, "Senior sister, why did you think of asking me to go! I haven't even completed the Dan yet, and I haven't congratulated the senior sister on condensing the Yuan Dan." ”
Yan Qingyun glanced at Zhang Yuan meaningfully: "Don't be hippie and smiley, I'm looking for you, firstly, because you are lucky, in the Misty Lake, you found the ghost grass and found the best cold spirit stone, and secondly, your strength is definitely not as simple as the enlightenment period, that explosion, the water yuan monkey of Kuaiyuan Dan was injured, but you are fine, are you right, my junior brother." After speaking, he stared at Zhang Yuan with a smile.
Zhang Yuan was furious when he saw it, and hurriedly said: "I am in the enlightenment stage, that Shuiyuan monkey was injured by me at the beginning, and I was not beaten unconscious later? I'm going to go and teach you how to blow. Without waiting for her to speak, he hurried to the bamboo forest in the distance without looking back.
Zhang Yuan didn't see Yan Qingyun smiling proudly: "Senior brother, I will definitely find out your little secret." ”
Five days later, Zhang Yuan was in a small town called Maple Town near Taohua Mountain, and stomped up to the second floor of the largest restaurant in the town.
Zhang Yuan saw it and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Senior sister is here so soon." ”
"I've been here for a long time, what are you doing, everyone else has gone into the mountains, and we don't get anything when we go late. Yan Qingyun looked at him, her eyes were about to burst into flames.
"Senior sister, don't worry, what's the use of advanced mountain, it's nothing more than killing a few more little demon beasts, you have to find the right place, I have just inquired, there is a place called Rotten Peach Valley in this Peach Blossom Mountain, it's very strange, the nearby mountain people never dare to go in." Zhang Yuan smiled and sat down opposite her.
Seeing a pot of tea on the table, with a wave of his hand, a fingernail-sized spirit stone flew to the shopkeeper, and said proudly: "Bring the sauce roe deer meat that you have here, as well as maple fish, other fresh fruits, and good wine." He has always wanted to learn the appearance of those heroes in martial arts, and when he came up, he was two catties of wine and ten catties of beef, but unfortunately he didn't have this ability before, and now he has this strength, so he naturally wants to be magnificent.
Yan Qingyun heard him say that it was a good place to inquire, and they all stood up and prepared to leave, but he actually ordered food, and suddenly became angry, slapped the table and said angrily: "You are still in the mood to eat, it's too late to leave." ”
"Senior sister, no! I haven't finished yet, I haven't eaten this and won't have the strength to climb the mountain, besides, I inquired just now, and people said that the sauce roe deer meat in this restaurant is very delicious, especially the maple fish is a must, I have to try it when I come." ”
He secretly said in his heart: "Isn't this that you always like to test my cultivation?" ”
"Then you don't have to give them spirit stones, you can buy his restaurant with such a size of spirit stones, you see that the shopkeeper is happy." Yan Qingyun thought about it, but she still found a reason to hit him.
"Don't I have no worldly money, and besides, I'll find out more about the situation later. Zhang Yuan said indifferently.
The shopkeeper cut a large plate of sauce and roe meat while they were talking, and other fresh fruits, snacks and cold dishes were placed on a table, and he came over with a big gourd to look at Zhang Yuan and said: "Two adults, this is monkey wine, please taste it, and the maple fish will have to wait a little before it can come up." After speaking, he secretly glanced at Yan Qingyun, and was about to retreat.
"Shopkeeper, please sit down, please ask me something. Zhang Yuan beckoned the shopkeeper to sit down, and when he saw that the shopkeeper only didn't dare to give up, he stood up and pressed the boss directly to the stool, and then lifted the gourd and poured a glass of wine for Yan Qingyun first, and then poured a glass for himself and the boss.
"Good wine. Zhang Yuan finished his glass, immediately praised, put down the wine glass and asked, "Shopkeeper, why is this place called Peach Blossom Mountain? I didn't see a single peach tree near here." ”
The shopkeeper took a sip of the wine, and then shook his head and said: "My adults don't know, my family has opened a restaurant here for generations, according to the old man in the family, thousands of years ago there were still peach trees all over the mountains, and the peach blossoms bloomed, not to mention how beautiful, and then I don't know why the peach trees are dead, and there are only some peach trees left in the rotten peach valley." ”
Zhang Yuan said to himself: "That means this rotten Peach Valley is very weird?"
