Chapter 5: Picking Up an Apprentice (3)
Yun Qihe's face suddenly became gloomy, and his fingers that were holding the long sword tightened again. His cold gaze fell on Xie Qian, gritted his teeth and said, "What is your relationship with the Demon Venerable?" ”
The conscience of heaven and earth, I really don't know this Demon Venerable!
She didn't understand why the Demon Venerable always helped her again and again, and would affectionately call herself coriander, as if she had known her for a long time.
Xie Qian couldn't help but look at the Demon Venerable, he also looked back at Xie Qian, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth, as if to say, "Come on, enter the Demon Realm again." ”
Don't wait to sit still.
Thinking like this in her heart, she completely ignored Yun Qihe's gaze, walked straight to the Demon Venerable, raised her hand slightly and bowed, and said, "In Xia is the most insignificant existence in the Immortal Realm, please raise your noble hand and don't joke with Zaixia." ”
Demon Venerable seemed to feel a little surprised by Xie Qian's words, squinted his eyes and looked her up and down, and said slowly: "I didn't joke, I really want to marry you." ”
"I don't have much fear when I get the love of the Demon Venerable, but I can't bear it." Xie Qian said politely, "The two worlds of immortals and demons are already opposed, so it is to trap me in unkindness and injustice. ”
When she said this, she clearly felt that the pair of eyes behind her contained suspicion and shock, and they were constantly searching.
Hearing this, Demon Venerable frowned, flicked the sleeves of his robe and stood up. He was a head taller than Xie Qian, looked down at her from top to bottom, and said with a smile: "The marriage between the fairy world and the demon world is not also for the sake of your fairy world?" ”
If the immortals and demons marry, not only can the lost Abyss Qianqin be recovered, but also the temporary truce between the two realms can be guaranteed. In this way, it is a beautiful thing.
It's just that Xie Qian is 10,000 unwilling.
Yun Qihe couldn't bear it any longer, and a stride stood in front of Xie Qian, staring coldly at the Demon Venerable and said, "Since you said that you want to marry my little sect master of the Immortal Sect, you can't have no sincerity at all, right?" Although it is said to help us find the abyss Qianqin, if we don't really find it after we get married, wouldn't it make us 'lose our wife and lose our soldiers'? ”
Demon Venerable's eyes turned to Yun Qihe, with a hint of disdain. He sneered behind his back and said, "Then I'll find a magic weapon and then talk to you about the conditions." As he spoke, he walked straight to the door of the main hall.
Seeing this, the Demon Realm guards on both sides immediately followed him out.
The water curtain spread out to both sides, revealing a black soft sedan suspended in mid-air outside the main hall. The guards fell to their knees, and the Demon Venerable flew into the sedan chair with a light foot.
The guards got up to carry the sedan chair, and black clouds appeared under them.
Demon Venerable slowly lifted the sedan curtain and glanced at Xie Qian deeply, a gentle smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth. Xie Qian was anxious for a while, and hurriedly turned his eyes.
He put away his smile, turned his eyes to Mu Chengye, who was standing outside the hall gate, and sighed meaningfully. Then, he lowered the curtain, and several bamboo leaf butterflies appeared with the fragrance and surrounded the sedan chair. The black clouds gathered more and more, and the sedan chair slowly flew up.
Xie Qian seemed to think of something, and walked two steps to the door of the main hall, and found that those red boxes had not been taken away, and his heart was blocked.
"I thought that my senior sister was an infatuated person, but I never thought that she would be so romantic and provoke the dignified Demon Venerable." Yun Qihe sneered out from behind him, his eyes full of contempt.
Xie Qian was already depressed, and when Yun Qihe said it, he was even more worried. She didn't want to say anything, so she turned around with Mu Chengye and was about to go back to Cangming Mountain to rest.
Yun Qihe didn't seem to be ready to let Xie Qian go, and mentioned that he couldn't stop the way of the two, and said coldly: "Today, I won't allow you, a monster disciple, to enter the Immortal Gate!" ”
Yun Xiaoyao was physically and mentally exhausted, and when he saw that the two little sect masters had a disagreement, he had to come over and ask about the situation. Xie Qian didn't bother to speak, and motioned for Yun Qihe to explain.
This can give Yun Qihe room to play, and tell what happened just now, just like a speechbook. At the end, he didn't forget to add a summary: "Maybe it was the Demon Venerable and this fox demon who took away the Abyss Qianqin and used this as an exchange to achieve his own goals." ”
"Senior brother, speculation is speculation, facts are facts, please don't mix them up, okay?" Xie Qian couldn't help it, and couldn't help but interrupt the "Zhihu Ye" that he was preparing later.
Yun Qihe opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was directly stopped by Yun Xiaoyao. He approached Mu Chengye and took a closer look at him.
Mu Chengye was a little frightened by this posture, and couldn't help but hide behind Xie Qian, and the hand holding Xie Qian's sleeve trembled slightly.
Xie Qian couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he looked at him, and protected Mu Chengye and said, "Master, please don't scare him." The fox clan had been plagued by the immortals before, and now it is not easy to be friends with the immortals. Besides, he just saved me, and it stands to reason that I should help me. ”
Yun Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows lightly: "But this monster ......"
"He's not a youkai." Xie Qian glanced at Mu Chengye, who was trembling behind him, and interrupted Yun Xiaoyao's words, "Now I am my apprentice, and I will be an immortal disciple of Cangming Mountain in the future." ”
When Mu Chengye heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a smug smile. But the laugh was fleeting and not caught by anyone.
Yun Xiaoyao hesitated a little, and then heard Yun Qihe on the side object: "No, there is no precedent for Xianmen to accept monsters!" ”
"But I didn't say I couldn't accept youkai." Xie Qian picked out words with him.
Yun Qihe was irritable and muttered, "Xie Wantong, can you accept this deviant idea?" ”
Xie Qian chuckled, and Yun said lightly: "It's better than you losing too much blood for the alliance." ”
As soon as these words came out, Yun Qihe's face instantly turned blue.
Many monks lowered their heads and laughed when they heard this, for fear that they would be used as a live target by Yun Qihe if they made any movement.
Xie Qian's words refer to a well-known misdemeanor that the two of them did ten years ago.
At that time, Xie Qian was only seven years old, and he had just become a disciple of Yun Xiaoyao. She wore a Taoist robe, and because she was tall, she was regarded as a teenager by six-year-old Yun Qihe.
The two often get together to practice, similar ages and like-minded preferences, and they will also play together, and gradually a friendship is born. Yun Qihe proposed that the two become brothers and manage the Xianmen together when they grow up. Xie Qian naturally agreed and asked him what he needed to worship.
Yun Qihe once saw mortals worship at the foot of the mountain, and they needed to put peaches on the table to burn three incense sticks, and then make a blood alliance. The two of them decided to follow suit and hold a "knot ceremony" from the back mountain.
The two of them found a bowl in a decent manner, placed the peaches on the stone randomly, and then began to drip blood into the bowl.
Xie Qian bit his finger and dripped several drops of blood in the bowl. And Yun Qihe always felt that the blood that had just covered the bottom of the bowl was not enough, so he directly took the sword and made a gesture on his wrist.
A large amount of blood flowed out, and soon a bowl was dripping full.
He was beaming with pride, but he realized something was wrong. Not only did the blood on his wrist not stop, but his vision became more and more blurry. It turned out that it was excessive blood loss!
Xie Qian sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly went to find Yun Xiaoyao to come.
He hurriedly stopped the bleeding for Yun Qihe, and his eyes inadvertently glanced at the bowl on the stone. Out of curiosity, he asked why.
The two were still young, so they told them what happened.
Yun Xiaoyao couldn't cry or laugh, and after admonishing the two, he took them back to continue their cultivation.
Later, this incident also spread in Xianmen, and everyone felt that the two children were sincere, and after laughing, they guessed that the two of them would have to be in charge of Xianmen in the future.
It's just that the world is unpredictable.
Thinking of this, the smile on the corner of Xie Qian's mouth revealed a trace of bitterness.
Yun Qihe couldn't hold his face, and glared at Xie Qian fiercely, with green tendons bulging on his forehead. Not to be outdone, Xie Qian looked back at Yun Qihe calmly. The two men were at a stalemate, as if there was lightning in the midst of them.
Yun Xiaoyao was really troubled by today's incident, and sighed deeply and started to be a peacemaker: "The matter of accepting apprentices will be put aside for the time being, and the top priority is to solve the matter of this Demon Venerable." He looked at Xie Qian and said earnestly, "Wantong, if the Demon Venerable really brought the Abyss Qianqin, what would you do?" ”
"Don't marry in vain." Xie Qian immediately knelt on one knee and said firmly.
Seeing Xie Qian's attitude, Mu Chengye's face changed slightly.
Yun Xiaoyao had long expected such an answer, shook his head and said, "You can't choose to compromise for the sake of the righteousness of the world?" ”
"How could the righteousness of the world ever think of compromising me?" Xie Qian asked rhetorically.
Yun Xiaoyao was stunned by this question, and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Xie Qian probably felt that he was a little speechless, raised his hand and bowed his head and said: "The disciple has his own way to refuse the Demon Venerable, and he will never let the Abyss Qianqin wander outside for too long, and please don't embarrass the disciple." ”
Yun Xiaoyao waved his hand tiredly: "That's it, it's up to you." ”
Xie Qian breathed a long sigh of relief, and after saluting Yun Xiaoyao, he turned around and walked down the stairs with Mu Chengye. She felt so tired today that she didn't want to think about anything but sleep.
The eastern sky was slightly white, and the day was about to fall, heralding the complete end of the night walk of the hundred ghosts.
Mu Chengye followed behind Xie Qian, secretly looked at her face, and said tentatively: "Am I causing trouble for my sister?" ”
"Don't think about it, it's none of your business." Xie Qian couldn't bear to see him blame himself, and waved his hand lightly. She now has to coax Mu Chengye so that he can willingly release some blood.
Mu Chengye lowered his head and pondered something, and then as if he had finally made up his mind, he rushed to the bottom of the stairs with a brisk step, blocked in front of Xie Qian and said, "Sister, do you have a sweetheart if you don't want to marry the Demon Venerable?" ”
His sudden words startled Xie Qian, and he subconsciously stopped his pace.
Truth be told, that's just one of the reasons. But the most fundamental reason is that she doesn't want to live so conspicuously in her life. As long as you are a little grass that is not seen by others, you can spend this life with peace of mind.
Don't make a name for yourself, and you don't have to fall in love. Lonely and peaceful.
Raising his head to meet Mu Chengye's eyes, there was a hint of fear in anticipation, which touched Xie Qian's heart slightly.
She shook her head: "It's not for this reason, but because I don't want to like anyone and I don't want to be noticeable." ”
Mu Chengye's eyes flickered, the fox eyes narrowed slightly, and he spoke again: "Then, sister, do you want to tell the Demon Venerable that you have a sweetheart?" ”
"Huh?" Xie Qian felt inexplicable.
Mu Chengye said righteously: "Sister can say that your Taoist companion is me, so you can reject the Demon Venerable." I don't think that Demon Venerable will be able to make things difficult for others and give up what he thinks in his heart. ”
Xie Qian pondered in his heart, Mu Chengye's words seemed to be familiar with the Demon Venerable. But on second thought, it worked.
If you pretend to be a Taoist, you can not only refuse the Demon Venerable, but also take advantage of the situation to keep Mu Chengye, so as to gain more time to persuade him to donate blood.
Xie Qian's wishful thinking crackled in his heart, and he immediately agreed.
Mu Chengye saw Xie Qian agree, and breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and at the same time showed a smile that his plan had succeeded.
