Chapter 23 Inheritance
In a hazy way, Xi Ci saw Shen Zhou dressed in a red robe, with his back to him, as if he was waiting for someone.
As soon as Xi Ci wanted to go up to greet him, a woman in a black and festive gauze suddenly appeared, she ran towards the sinking boat with a smile like a flower, and the phoenix crown on her head was very exquisite.
Shen Zhou opened his arms to her and hugged her, the woman hugged Shen Zhou facing him, and Xi Ci could clearly see her appearance.
Her eyebrows and eyes are quite similar to herself, but they are very different.
Just when Xi Ci stared at her, she seemed to see Xi Ci too.
However, when she looked at Xi Ci, the happiness in her eyes suddenly swept away, she was still holding Shen Zhou, but her face was full of sadness, tears slipped quietly, Xi Ci saw this scene, and her heart throbbed inexplicably......
"Ahh Xi Ci suddenly woke up from her dream, she was restrained in a damp and warm quilt, and a gust of wind blew in from the window, and she couldn't help but sneeze.
She rolled over and rolled off the bed to the ground, but fortunately the quilt was thick enough that it didn't hurt at all, and she escaped from the restraint in the quilt with a teleportation.
Xi Ci touched the east and looked west, and he had forgotten Fang Cai's dream.
The clothes on her body were already a little rancid, and Xi Ci smelled the smell on her body, and couldn't help but feel self-disgusted.
But there was nothing to wear at the moment, and the ghost's clothes were not suitable for living creatures, so she walked to the door and looked at the barrier-like barrier, and felt that the bell had to be tied to the bell.
She teleported to the door of His Highness's room, and was about to knock on the door, but the door suddenly opened from the inside, and it was China.
"I want to find Your Highness." Xi Ci said to China with a smile.
Akana looked back at His Highness who was sitting in front of the desk, he nodded to China, and Akana turned sideways to let her in, and took the initiative to close the door when she went out.
"Your Highness, give me some money!" Xi Ci walked to the front of the case and held out his hand to him.
He looked at Xi Ci's palm, raised his eyebrows and said, "I know that I am leaving, but I don't forget to settle the salary?" ”
Hearing this, Xi Ci pulled his sleeve in front of him and said, "You smell it, it's all rancid." ”
He glanced up at her faintly, thought for a moment, put down the scroll in his hand, got up, and walked up to her.
Xi Ci looked at his evil ghost mask, mistakenly thinking that the other party wanted to beat him up and drive him out, and timidly wanted to retreat, how did he know that His Royal Highness flicked his sleeves in front of her, and the two of them were instantly in a ghost shop.
He stood with his hands in his hands and said, "Let's see if there is anything you like." ”
The ghost shopkeeper greeted him very warmly: "Fairy, please allow me to introduce, our store has good human skin shirts, animal skin clothes, and paper clothes......
Xi Ci frowned and looked around, and said, "I just want ordinary clothes." ”
"I have a small number of high-quality ready-to-wear garments, but they are more expensive, you see......" The ghost shopkeeper gestured, suggesting Xi Ci.
Xi Ci shifted the gaze of the ghost shopkeeper to a certain highness who was standing aside, holding his hands on his chest and bored, His Royal Highness glanced at Xi Ci, nodded and did not say anything, and agreed.
Seeing that the owner nodded, the ghost shopkeeper immediately beckoned, "I'll show it to you." ”
When the ghost shopkeeper went to get the ready-to-wear, Xi Ci cautiously approached him and whispered, "Actually, you can give me money to come alone." ”
"I think, but I'm more afraid that you will lure the heavenly soldiers to Hualou." In fact, he was worried that Xi Ci would encounter heavenly soldiers halfway and be arrested if he didn't win the martial arts, but when the words came to his mouth, they became another meaning.
I haven't said anything about caring about others for too long, and it's a little hard to say it now.
"Oh, I see." Xi Ci touched his nose and looked away wryly.
"You have Fengyang above and Wanling Hall below, your cultivation is still so mediocre, what are you doing on weekdays?"
He was not mocking, but puzzled, Xu was used to leading troops to fight, and seeing such a background but mediocre ability, it was inevitable to suspect that the other party did not seek progress.
"Hmm...... About every 100 years, I have to go down the mountain to grow vegetables and graze! In the face of such a question, she still thought about it and answered it very seriously.
"Growing vegetables and grazing?" I couldn't help but brows.
"Well, there are many wars in the mortal world, the people are not living, drought, famine and plague are surging, the hall master is pitiful and has asked the heavenly monarch, but this matter has been delayed again and again, the hall master has no choice, and in a fit of anger, let us transform into mortals and go down the mountain to do good, as an experience." Xi Ci shrugged and smiled a little helplessly.
As a martial immortal, her time is spent on helping the world and doing good, what she is best at is planting flowers and vegetables and herding cattle, and her brothers and sisters are practicing medicine and giving porridge.
Speaking of this, she became interested and said: "My senior sister Hujiao, in order to cure the carbuncle of mortals, also cut off her own tail to make medicine soup, and later everyone called her 'no tail', so angry that the senior sister made a fake tail for herself with sawdust and cloth bags......
As she spoke, her eyes suddenly darkened, and she said, "Wanlingtang was slaughtered, there is no tail, it is really gone......"
Hearing this, he suddenly fell silent, and it happened that the ghost shopkeeper also came out with ready-to-wear clothes, and Xi Ci tried hard to pull out a smile and stepped forward to see the style.
He leaned to the side like this, looking at Xi Ci's smiling side face, as if he was thinking about something, and said nothing.
Wearing a light ink pigment gauze skirt, the beautiful face is not powdered, no matter how you look at it, she is a plain and elegant beauty, which makes him look a little distracted.
The ghost shopkeeper knocked on the abacus and walked up to him, blocking his view of continuing to appreciate the beauty, and said, "Guest officer, this ready-to-wear is indeed more expensive, if it is really difficult, you can wipe it for a fraction of ......."
"Not necessarily." He raised his hand and conjured up a wad of paper money, and handed it to the ghost shopkeeper as he counted them.
Xi Ci jumped up in front of him and said, "Your Highness, is it good-looking?" ”
"Well, let's go." After speaking, he stepped to Xici, and with a wave of his clothes, the two of them came to the ferry on the bank of the Lechuan River.
There is indeed a gap between teleportation and teleportation, and you only need to wave your sleeves to come and go.
Suddenly coming here, Xi Ci looked left and right with some surprise: "Huh? My stepfather is still in the hearth! ”
"Here." He said as he threw her a cloth bag.
Xi Ci took the cloth bag and opened it to see that a fire was burning brightly, and she immediately felt at ease in her arms.
But after a while, she was worried: "What about the immortal tree that I have worked so hard to cultivate?" ”
The immortal tree was almost exchanged for the lives of Chi Na and Shen Zhou, and he also injected his heart and soul into cultivating it, and Xi Ci was a little reluctant.
"Don't do it." Shen Zhou's voice was soft, but sonorous.
"But ......"
Before Xi Ci finished tangling, he carried Xi Ci onto the ferry boat.
The ferryman looked at Xi Ci, who was symbolically struggling, with a smile, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked him kindly: "Your Highness, but do you want to go to that earthly road?" ”
He bowed slightly to the old ferryman and said, "There is a labor ferry god." ”
After he put Xi Ci down, he sat down on his own, Xi Ci looked at him aggrievedly with a pout, but the ferryman smiled helplessly, don't turn his head to support the boat, it seems to be used to it.
Xi Ci looked at the ghost and wild ghost who couldn't surface but spit bubbles and played in the depths of the river, looked at the ferryman with a suspicious face, and said, "Grandpa, you ferry here every day, do you know how many wild ghosts are in this water?" ”
"Nature is inexhaustible, inexhaustible." The ferryman replied with a smile, looking at her as if he was an old friend.
"So many!" Xi Ci nodded in surprise, if he was really thrown in to feed the wild ghosts, he was afraid that in the blink of an eye, he would only have half a white bone left.
The boat swayed in the center of the Lechuan River, a faint green aurora in the air, and the wind was blowing, and Xi Ci shivered several times, and her fluffy fox ears drooped.
Under the mask, he looked at her with a light smile, and this unconscious action was all reflected in the eyes of the ferryman, who lowered his eyes slightly.
Then it gradually became clearer, and the old ferryman reminded softly: "The entrance to the world has arrived!" ”
Xici, who was originally sitting well-behaved, suddenly stood up and looked ahead excitedly, he hadn't seen the sun for a long time.
When she stood up, she was so shocked that the boat swayed left and right, and when she was about to fall into the Lechuan River, His Highness pulled her into his arms and stabilized her.
"Can you, not always be so reckless?" He asked coldly.
Seeing that the other party pulled himself into his arms, in order to stabilize himself, Xi Ci hugged him and said, "Yes." ”
Turning around, the boat had already landed, and His Highness coldly broke off Xi Ci's fingers one by one, glanced at her as if he disliked something, and took the lead in getting off the boat.
The old ferryman saw that Xi Ci was staggering, so he used the boat support to give her a handle.
After she got off the boat, she bowed deeply to the ferryman, and His Royal Highness behind her thanked the ferryman slightly.
The ferryman smiled and waved at them, hummed a tune, and as soon as the boat reached the shore, he prepared to return.
After a long time, the ferryman looked back at the backs of the two of them who were drifting apart, and suddenly shook his head and sighed: "The catastrophe is circuitous, but it is a floating life, life and death wake up, and I wish to return to my place......"
