Chapter 2: The Doom of the First Month
"Shangxian!" Kuroko said excitedly.
Xuan Qing's face was calm at this time, and he said lightly: "The predecessor is a person in the immortal realm, why does it look like it, it is no different from us......"
The old man said with a smile: "Immortals are immortals from people, and they originally came from the world's penance. ”
With that, the wide sleeves floated, and a wooden box and two roast chickens fell out of thin air in front of him.
Kuroko picked up the roast chicken and took a bite, then opened the box, and couldn't help but look at it, - a whole box of gold!
Turning his eyes to look at the immortal, he saw the immortal bowing slightly.
"It's yours. ”
One hundred taels of gold is enough to buy dozens of acres of good land. Marry a daughter-in-law and hire some servants, and the rest of your life will be comfortable and comfortable.
Kuroko's eyes were straight, saliva was dripping, and he shouted excitedly: "Brother Qing, come and move the gold!"
Xuan Qing's gaze swept over the gold, but it did not pass. He looked at the old immortal with a faint expression, and then arched his hand and said, "Please fulfill the promise of the immortal and help me catch a fire dragon badger." ”
Seeing that he was unusually quiet, the old man pondered for a moment and asked, "Mortals love gold and silver, why do you only need a dragon badger?"
Xuan Qing said firmly: "Don't hide it from the immortals, my father is an Orion, and this year, the Orions in the village have been tasked with catching the fire dragon badger." And today is the deadline, and I can't catch it again...... Tomorrow there will be a board, and the lives of more than 100 people will be lost......"
Seeing this young man's words, his expression was firm. The old immortal was slightly stunned, then sat cross-legged, released his divine sense to search, seemed to notice something, frowned, and sighed.
He then swept into the air, turned into a gray dot, and disappeared in an instant. When he came back, the old man held a fire dragon badger in his hand and threw it towards Xuanqing.
"Squeak. Xuan Qing raised his hand to catch it.
The immortal looked at the fire dragon badger and sighed slightly: "This thing, there will be no more in the world." ”
Xuan Qing was stunned, his eyes fell on the fire dragon badger, and he saw that the badger's hair was pure red like congealed blood, and its head was like a dragon, like a fire dragon.
Kuroko beat him and touched the badger, revealing a look of surprise.
"Thank you. ”
Xuan Qing bowed, but his eyes were worried: "This place is more than 100 miles away from the county government, holding the fire dragon badger all the way is really eye-catching, if it is peeped at by the hunters in the side county and comes up to snatch it, I am afraid it will be ...... by my own strength" Xuan Qing paused and said: "Please also ask the immortals to give me a ride." ”
The immortal bowed slightly, raised his hand and made a move, and a gray cloud floated over. He clamped Xuanqing under his armpit again, jumped up, and stepped on it.
Xuan Qing stood in the clouds, looked down at the sunspot, and instructed, "Inform my father and tell him that the fire dragon badger has been caught!"
"Okay. ”
Kuroko answered, and then walked towards the mountain.
There was a whirring wind in his ears, and the trees and buildings on the ground quickly retreated, and Xuan Qing couldn't help but be excited: "Shangxian, do you often fly like this?"
The immortal raised his eyebrows: "Fly, if it is really flying, the morning can be cangwu and the evening can be Beihai,...... It's not flying, it's just a simple leaping technique. ”
Xuan Qing's eyes showed a look of surprise, and he didn't ask any more.
The two of them stepped on the gray clouds and crossed the snowy mountains, but after half a pillar of incense, they came to the sky above the county office.
Seeing Xuan Qing and a gray-robed Taoist slowly falling from the clouds, the official rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and then greeted him.
Xuanqing took a step forward with the fire dragon badger in his arms: "Xuanqing of Yanshui Village came to pay tribute, asked to see the county order, and reported it. ”
When the official saw the fire dragon badger, he glanced at the gray-robed Taoist again, and hurriedly went back to pay his respects. After a while, the prefectural commander came out to greet him neatly dressed.
Seeing the two of them, his eyes stayed on the immortal for a moment, and he respectfully accepted the fire dragon badger and said:
"The afterlife is terrifying!
The immortal figure did not move, and said lightly: "Find a secluded place for the old man, you can do it yourself." ”
The county commander nodded, immediately found an upper room, and went to the old immortal in person.
After settling the immortals, the county order immediately held a feast, and served Xuanqing as a guest, eating and drinking well. Xuanqing successfully received a white and two silver rewards, wrapped up the baggage, and rode the gray cloud again on the way home.
A matter of heart was finally settled, Xuan Qing's heart was a lot more relaxed, and he couldn't help but be curious when he remembered the scene of saving the immortals.
"Shangxian, why did you fall into the snow?"
The immortal's face changed slightly, and he sighed lightly: "The enemy family is hard to force each other, and the old man is helpless, so he escaped into the snow." ”
Xuan Qing couldn't hear it clearly, and when he looked at it again, he was already smiling and silent.
The gray cloud is extremely fast, and it is at the door of the house in a blink of an eye.
The door was already full of villagers, and when they saw him and the immortals coming from afar, they all showed admiration.
"Wow, fairy!"
As soon as they stepped onto the ground from the clouds, the crowd shouted and surrounded the immortals.
Kuroko squeezed out of the crowd, pulled Xuan Qing aside, and asked, "I heard that the county order wants to exempt our village from paying taxes for one year, is it really fake?"
"Really. Xuan Qing nodded.
Seeing that he was so sure, Kuroko was relieved, "Go, go home with me and move the gold, and say that one person and half will be in it." ”
Before Xuan Qing could answer, he saw a person rushing out behind him, glaring at the sunspot and reprimanding: "What kind of gold!"
Kuroko turned his head to look at it and said in a lost voice: "Dad!"
The man picked up a branch from the ground and whipped wildly at the sunspot: "What kind of gold do you share, I will make you a loser......"
Every time he hit down, the sunspot twitched in pain, and Xuan Qing raised his hand and said:
"Forget it, I don't want the gold......"
As soon as these words came out, Kuroko's father's arm stopped in mid-air, and then he let go of Kuroko, put away his anger, and pointed at Kuroko and said:
"If you dare to talk nonsense again, see that I don't break your legs!"
With that, he walked towards the crowd.
Kuroko rubbed his sore shoulders and stood up, and said timidly: "Brother Qing, I'm sorry......"
Xuan Qing waved his hand: "It's okay, anyway, I have a silver reward." ”
At this time, but listen to a burst of human noise. followed the prestige, but saw everyone kneeling down around the immortals, shouting in their mouths to stay, looking like they were trying their best to stay.
The two men then walked over.
I saw the lieutenant chief stand up and say in a loud voice: "Everyone be quiet!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately closed their voices, and their eyes gathered towards Xuan Qing.
At this time, the chief said to the immortals: "Our village caught the fire dragon badger, naturally blocking the financial road of Linxian County, if they come collectively to find trouble, we may be difficult to parry, and ask the immortals to stay for a few days, for us to sit in the town." ”
When the old immortal heard this, he glanced at Xuan Qing, and then nodded in agreement.
Seeing that the immortal agreed to stay, the lieutenant advised everyone to go back and rest early, and everyone dispersed one after another.
The old immortal returned home with Xuanqing, and there were only two bedrooms in the house, so Xuanqing had to sleep in the same room with the immortal.
The father had already lit the brazier, and Xuanqing spread out the bed and let the immortal sleep, but the immortal shook his head lightly and meditated on his knees.
Xuan Qing lay on the bed by himself, looked at the cultivating immortals, and saw that there was a purple mist rising from his body, he couldn't help but feel envious, and asked:
"So you can live a hundred years?"
The immortal opened his eyes and said lightly: "What is a hundred years old, those who are highly cultivated can be a thousand years old or even immortal, and live with the sun and the moon." ”
Leaping, immortal?......
Xuan Qing stared at the old immortal intently, constructing the world of immortals in his heart, and stayed awake all night excitedly.
Early in the morning, the old immortal had already crossed his knees in the courtyard and vomited.
Xuanqing also got up and brought firewood to prepare for the fire, but the firewood was too damp and couldn't be lit, and Xuanqing was sweating in a hurry. At this time, the immortal pointed in the air, and with a "bang", a flame came out, and the firewood beeped and burned. Looking at the flames licking the bottom of the pot, Xuan Qing was stunned, and then leaned over to the old immortal and asked:
"Shangxian, can I cultivate immortals?"
The old immortal first nodded, then shook his head:
"The Immortal Dao can be cultivated by everyone, but the journey is too difficult, and it is very unbearable. ”
Xuan Qing said stubbornly: "I can bear it, you can pass on my cultivation method, right?"
The immortal shook his head lightly.
Three days later, the county government posted a list of documents, and Yanshui Village was exempted from taxes for one year. After receiving the news, the whole village was immersed in a joyful atmosphere.
Early in the morning, there was a lot of gongs and drums outside.
When Xuan Qing opened the door, a team of people from the government were standing outside the door wearing red colors, a tall horse was parked in the front row, and behind the team, there were dozens of truckloads of wine and meat.
Seeing the lively villagers, they all cast envious eyes.
"Is this son Xuanqing?" a servant stood up and bowed to Xuanqing.
"Exactly. Xuan Qing responded.
"On the orders of the county magistrate, you hunted the dragon badger, and you are the hero of the county, and you are specially picked up to cross the horse and parade the streets. ”
The man looked behind him, his gaze rested on the villagers, and said slowly:
"The county order rewarded the hunters of the whole village with ten taels of silver each, and gave wine and meat, and personally came to celebrate with the villagers!"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd suddenly erupted in cheers. The county lord came in person, what an honor this is, Xuanqing won glory for the village this time.
The man commanded the unloading of more than a dozen carts of wine and meat.
Immediately holding a red silk came to Xuanqing, at this time, the county lord got down from the sedan chair and personally tied the red silk to Xuanqing, and the satin was knotted on his chest.
"Boy, the future is limitless. The county magistrate patted Xuanqing on the back.
Xuan Qing pursed her lips and smiled, put her father's arch on her back, jumped over, and sat on the saddle. Looking around at everyone, the whole person was full of energy, and the curved bow made him a little more heroic out of thin air.
Everyone cast envious eyes, and the girls were even more excited:
"It would be nice to marry such a man!"
"All the girls in the county want to marry, which turn is it for you...... It's Miss Ben who wants to marry!" A gorgeously dressed woman answered, then squeezed through the crowd, looked at Xuanqing's figure, and chased all the way over.
There were more and more onlookers, and Xuan Qing was surrounded in the center of everyone, looking at the crowd, not to mention how majestic. In the crowd, there was no shortage of people from Linxian County who came to see the excitement, and those people couldn't help but feel sour and hateful when they saw him so beautiful.
"It is said that the dragon badger is extinct!
“...... The bounty alone is a hundred taels. It's a pity......" the other man smacked his lips and sighed.
Xuan Qing heard the words clearly, and he ignored them, straightened up, and looked ahead.
A person suddenly popped out of the crowd, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be a sunspot. Heizi looked Xuanqing up and down, and said with envy:
"What a majesty!"
Xuan Qing couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he saw the sunspot walking with him. Kuroko swaggered at the crowd and swaggered:
"This is my buddy, he's the big hero who catches the dragon badger!"
When everyone heard this, there was a sigh, and their eyes looked at Xuan Qing again, naturally with envy, jealousy and hatred.
Kuroko hugged him and walked all the way forward.
......
At this time, the wine, meat and meals have been lined up on the street, and all families have gathered together. Xuan Feng and the old immortal sat in the guest of honor position and accepted the toast of the county lord.
The whole village raised a glass together, and the county lord made an impassioned statement:
"Let's drink this cup together and celebrate our capture of the dragon badger!"
After the county lord finished toasting, everyone drank the wine and ate and drank by themselves.
Xuan Feng looked at the immortal and said softly: "My son is dedicated to the immortal, can the immortal accept him as an apprentice?"
The immortal was silent, just looking up at the sky in a daze.
Xuan Feng also followed his gaze to the sky, only to see a red light flickering in the sky,
When I turned around, I saw the immortal and said lightly:
"The old man is going too. ”
As soon as the words fell, they turned into a blue light and swept into the air.
I saw the red and blue lights and shadows in the air, as if they were fighting, and when a fireball fell, the county magistrate immediately jumped on the sedan chair, and the villagers were so frightened that they scattered and fled.
The two figures were entangled, tumbling and rolling all the way to the direction of the county.
