Chapter 9 Family Background
She counted her belongings, two sets of rotten linen strips that she and her daughter had replaced, a set of clothes that Qingyan had given as a gift, a piece of low-grade spirit stones given by the old Taoist priest, and a bag of spirit beads exchanged by Qingyan.
Nothing else.
Hu lightly poked the Lingzhu bag with his fingers, it was very hard, and when he opened the mouth, it was a small stone like a chess piece, red, yellow, green, and white, which looked like agate, with natural lines, and it must be beautiful to make a peace buckle.
It's nice to look at the spirit bead alone, but it's not enough to look at it when compared to the spirit stone.
The piece of spirit stone given by the old Taoist priest looks like a good jade, neat and neat, with a large piece in the palm of his hand, and there are no impurities or variegated colors throughout the body, and the light green glows with warm oil.
Hu Qing had a rough guess that such a spirit stone would be one level higher than the beautiful jade of the mortal realm.
Although this bag of spirit beads was exchanged for five spirit stones in Qingyan, in Hu Qing, it was the spirit stone given by the old Taoist priest who was much more precious.
This represents the great kindness of the old Taoist priest who does not ask for anything in return.
Hu Qing sees through the warmth and coldness of people, since she was a child, she has suffered a lot of cold eyes because of her scumbag, and the people closest to her also love and hate her, when she is good, she is excellent, and when she is bad, let her die. After the end of the world, she struggled for three years without supernatural abilities, and she saw through human nature.
The old Taoist priest is the only person she has met so far in the three worlds who does not want to reciprocate but only for her good.
Of course, the old Taoist priest cultivates his heart and cultivates goodness, and he is just an ordinary one of his good deeds. But for herself, the old Taoist's kindness is the cold light of goodness that warms her.
Hu Qing held the spirit stone in both hands, first kept the money for himself for five years, and the package was never touched in place, and then his daughter got the opportunity of the old Taoist priest of Xianyuan to accompany herself, obviously she couldn't wait for her return and gave her the spirit stone that was the most precious to mortals.
If it weren't for the old Taoist priest, I am afraid that I would be forced to separate from my daughter.
This kindness, how heavy, the spirit stone in his hand is heavy.
And Qingyan also owes a favor to adults, but they can afford it.
Hu is light-eyed, and Qingyan's surprise when her daughter measured the spiritual root was thoughtful, and she understood that it was the kind of surprise that teachers who dug up good seedlings in colleges and universities could get bonuses. In the quiet conversation all the way when he came, Hu Qing could also hear that immortal cultivators pay attention to pure hearts and few desires, and helping others is not their basic virtue.
Therefore, Qingyan has a plan, whether it is for himself or for his sect. This is very normal, the intersection of people and people is originally motivated by a plan, as long as it is not to harm their mother and daughter, and indeed find a way to live for them, Hu Qing remembers his great kindness, and will repay it in the future.
Hu lightly copied the spirit beads in his pocket, and with a tilt of his palm, the spirit beads slammed into each other, making a crisp sound.
Hu chuckled, this is an investment, it seems that his daughter's spiritual root is very good. However, it is not good enough for Qingyan to think more about them.
She was a little worried in her heart, she didn't know that the real world of immortal cultivation was as different from those immortal cultivation novels, and all immortal cultivation novels were saying one thing: immortal cultivation was cruel.
She couldn't wait to know where the cruelty of cultivating immortals was.
Start in front of your eyes.
She grabbed the spirit beads and put them on the table, counting the five pieces and counting them to see the exchange rate of the currency.
When she counted out a hundred, she probably guessed that it should be a spirit stone exchanged for a thousand spirit beads, which shows that the spirit beads are not worth much, and they are specially for mortals.
She continued to count and verify her guess, at the same time, Qingyan had not received any news yet, and she didn't know the result of her daughter's apprenticeship, she was a little restless, and counting the spirit beads helped to calm her mind.
Four thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight, four thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, five thousand.
There seemed to be some sound in the yard, and Hu Qing's ears moved, and he came out of the yard vigilantly to the back of the door.
"Who?"
No response.
She frowned, looking out through the small gap between the two door panels, and she had excellent eyesight and saw a flying in front of the door.
The tip of the crane's small beak pecked at the door panel.
Suddenly, Qingyan opened the enchantment of the courtyard, and it couldn't fly in and could only peck at the door.
There's news!
Hu Qing opened the door excitedly, the paper crane flew in and landed in her hand, Qingyan's voice came from inside: "Hu Niangzi, Xiao Nuan has successfully apprenticed to Qiao Yu Zhenren and become a personal disciple, don't worry." I'll go to see you when Xiao Nuan rests. ”
After the word was passed, the paper crane that had completed its mission spontaneously burned into ashes, which was terrifying.
Hu Qing is overjoyed, her daughter passed the interview, and she will be a person from a sect in the future, including food, shelter and education, which is far more promising than following yourself as a mortal.
Immediately, her face darkened, Qingyan, this straight man, you can tell me clearly how you have a holiday, when will she come back next time, right?
A heart puffed down and lifted it again, Qiao Yu is a real person? Qiao Yu? Male or female? Alas, this young man Qingyan is absent from pre-job training. I miss my assistant.
Hu Qing entered the house, put the spirit beads back in the bag, thought about it, grabbed twenty and put them in his waist pocket. Oh, by the way, Bigu Dan is still here.
Pour it out and count it, in addition to the two people who ate it on the way, there were eighty-seven pills in the bottle. Ten days for a pill to be full, that is 870 days.
Hu lightly touched her stomach, taking Bigu Dan does not feel hungry, and her body is normal, but for her, she always feels empty in her stomach and panicked, just like the feeling of starvation in the last days, her mouth and her stomach need to eat.
Hu lightly put the bottle in the most intimate place, be sure not to let the thief touch, this is a large amount of food expenses, no income period, saving a child is to earn a child.
She hid the bag containing the spirit beads behind the bed, the three rooms were fully furnished, and there was not much place to hide things, so after thinking about it, she took it out and hid it behind the bookshelf in the study on the west side. Too many people like to hide things in the bed, and let's change the place.
When she came out of the door, she locked it, thinking of the enchantment that Qingyan said, and touching the door number on her waist, she especially wanted to find someone to try, whether she couldn't get in if she broke the door and climbed over the wall.
Looking at the neighbor's house on the left and right, I quietly don't know if there is anyone living there, Hu Qing retracted his gaze, creaked, the door of the house on the left rang, and a person came out, and then the two looked at each other.
It was a woman who looked like she was about forty, dressed like a rich wife, and she looked at Hu Qing, who clearly saw two words in her eyes: poor and sour.
Well, she is not as rich as others who are full of pearls and emeralds, but when she is a dirt bun? Gold and silver jewelry are not worth much here.
Hu Qing grimaced, and did not look any more, missing the astonishment and jealousy of the woman's gaze as it fell on her clothes.
Qingyan is a true disciple of the inner sect, and the things assigned to him by the sect are naturally the best among his peers.
These mortals who live in Fang City all the year round have cultivated a pair of fiery eyes, and they can barely see the good and bad things used by the immortals.
What is the identity of the soil bun that came here? How can you afford to wear such good clothes with a chicken nest hair? What is the origin?
The woman thought about carrying the basket in one direction.
Hu glanced at her basket, empty, and thought for a moment, and when the woman turned into another way, she slowly followed.
In the last three years, he has refined his skills, including long-distance tracking, and it is not difficult to follow this woman, as long as he follows the strong smell of osmanthus oil in the air.
