Chapter 8: The Maidservant
Li Fei and Yan Chixia looked at Nie Xiaoqian, who was helping to sew up the damaged clothes after washing the dishes, and they were a little speechless.
What the hell is this posture of a good wife and mother?
Yan Chixia glanced at Li Fei with a strange expression, this female ghost wouldn't be in love with him, right?
It is very likely that with Li Fei's appearance and skills, it doesn't matter if he is a woman, a banshee, or a female ghost, as long as he is a woman...... No, as long as it's a mother, it's possible to be tempted.
Li Fei was uncomfortable by Yan Chixia's gaze, and said without words: "Miss Xiaoqian, that's just a trivial matter, you don't have to do this." ”
Nie Xiaoqian looked up at him and said, "For Childe, it's just a trivial matter, but for Xiaoqian, that painting is the only thought that my father left me." ”
"Xiaoqian is just a lonely ghost now, and she has no other ability to repay her son, so she has to do some small things for her son and talk about her heart."
Li Fei helplessly spread his hands to Yan Chixia.
Yan Chixia groaned slightly, and asked, "Why doesn't the girl want to be reincarnated, but mix with the dryad?" ”
Hearing Yan Chixia's question, Nie Xiaoqian's expression darkened, and she lowered her head and said, "It's not that I don't want to, but I can't." ”
Yan Chixia stared at her and asked, "Why can't you?" ”
Nie Xiaoqian said with grievances in her eyes: "My ashes altar is in the hands of my grandmother, and I am controlled by her, and I can't get out." ”
"I don't want to harm people's lives, but if I don't do it, I will be tortured by my grandmother."
"What?" Yan Chixia Huo Ran got up, glared and said, "You were forced by the tree demon?" ”
Nie Xiaoqian said quietly: "Ghosts were also people, people are divided into good and evil, ghosts are also good and bad, not all ghosts are willing to harm people." ”
Whether it is now or in the original plot, Yan Chixia has always thought that Nie Xiaoqian, a lonely ghost and a wild ghost, is willing to act in cahoots with the tree demon grandma and act for the tiger in exchange for the protection of the tree demon grandma.
So he has never been waiting to see those lonely souls and wild ghosts, and he has no mercy on Nie Xiaoqian and Xiaoqing, and he will kill them as soon as he encounters them.
In the end, it was through Ning Caichen that they knew that they were forced, and finally they were moved by Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen, and they made up their minds to fight to the death with the tree demon grandma.
Now because of Li Fei's interference, he knew about it in advance, and his mind immediately changed.
Yan Chixia's eyes flickered rapidly, and in Nie Xiaoqian's expectant gaze, he looked at Li Fei and said in a deep voice: "Brother, it seems that we have to have a fight with this tree demon." ”
Li Fei had no objection and echoed: "Yes, if it just kills some wicked people, it still has a head." ”
"To detain the souls of others and forcibly control them for one's own use is perverse and intolerable."
Yan Chixia nodded with satisfaction, and then said solemnly: "But that tree demon is not weak, its root system goes deep into the ground and extends very widely. ”
"As long as the foundation is not damaged, it will not die, and it may not be easy to get rid of it completely."
Li Fei said helplessly: "In the final analysis, it is still not enough cultivation!" Since we can't destroy it, we can only seek to hurt its vitality so that it can't come out and make trouble for a while. ”
Yan Chixia sighed: "That's the only way, I just hope that there will be a master in the future, and you can completely get rid of it!" ”
Li Fei asked, "When are we going to do it?" ”
Yan Chixia thought for a while and said, "Let's go a little longer!" Wait until you refine the magic sword and learn the art of the sword, so that we can be a little more sure. ”
Li Fei nodded and said, "It's okay, with my current progress, I can learn the method of sacrifice and refining in another seven or eight days, and within half a month, I should be able to do it." ”
Speaking of this, Li Fei looked at Nie Xiaoqian and said, "Miss Xiaoqian, please bear with me for a little longer, and when my eldest brother and I are fully prepared, we will definitely save you from the clutches of the Dryad." ”
When Nie Xiaoqian heard this, she put down the needle and thread in her hand, changed her sitting to kneeling, and bowed down: "Thank you Dao Chang and Gongzi." ”
"There is no way to repay the great kindness, when Xiaoqian is free, I am willing to be a maid and serve about two."
Yan Chixia said strangely: "Why don't you plan to reincarnate?" ”
Nie Xiaoqian said with a sad expression: "In today's world, the lives of the people are like ants, and reincarnation is just another painful reincarnation, even if this is the case, why be a man?" ”
"It's better to follow the two of you to practice, in the hope of achieving positive results and getting rid of the suffering of samsara."
Yan Chixia smiled: "You have a lot of ideas, since this is your own choice, then let it be!" ”
Yan Chixia obviously agreed to her staying by their side when she said this, and Nie Xiaoqian was overjoyed and said, "Thank you Dao Chang for taking her in." ”
……
Nie Xiaoqian didn't stay here for too long, for fear of being discovered by the tree demon grandmother.
In the following days, Li Fei and Yan Chixia were still concentrating on cultivation, and Nie Xiaoqian quietly did what she had to do, looking for blood food for the tree demon grandmother.
It's just that every night, she will come to do some small things for Li Fei and Yan Chixia, such as washing clothes and washing dishes.
Occasionally, she will play the piano to the two of them, as long as it is not in the middle of the night, Yan Chixia is still happy to listen to the piano.
When Li Fei went to the market to pick up his custom-made clothes, he bought a lot of incense and candles for Nie Xiaoqian.
If you don't want to go through the evil path method of absorbing the essence and yang energy of living people to cultivate, you can only absorb the qi of the moon and the incense to cultivate.
The Taiyin Moon Flower can improve the cultivation of ghosts, and the aura of incense can condense the soul body.
For ghost cultivators, eating candles and absorbing incense and fire is equivalent to human monks cultivating qi and blood and refining their physical bodies.
The more condensed the soul body is, the stronger the endurance, and the less easily it is for the soul to fly away.
Even after cultivating into a ghost immortal, you can reunite your physical body, get out of the ghost path, return to humanity, and then continue to cultivate the immortal path.
Therefore, the cultivation of ghosts is much more difficult than that of living people, after all, there is an additional process from ghosts to people, just like demon cultivation.
Nie Xiaoqian is a lonely ghost and a wild ghost, naturally there is no one to worship and worship, and there are usually no candles to eat and incense to suck.
Now that she chooses to follow Li Fei and the two, this benefit is initially reflected.
……
On the night of the eighth day when Li Fei and Yan Chixia came to Lanruo Temple, Nie Xiaoqian informed the two that tomorrow the tree demon grandmother would take her female ghosts to the underworld to visit the old demon of Montenegro.
Li Fei's heart moved, not surprisingly, it was this visit that made the old demon of Montenegro fall in love with Nie Xiaoqian and wanted to marry her.
If this trip is allowed to happen, in the end, he and Yan Chixia will have to confront the old demon of Montenegro.
Although the two of them joined forces and were not afraid of the old demon of Montenegro, it was a trouble after all.
He knew that the Diamond Sutra could restrain the old demon of Montenegro, but it was really not worth wasting a precious magic weapon because of this matter.
It seems that we have to find a way to stop the tree demon grandma from taking Nie Xiaoqian to the city of the dead.
After Li Fei secretly made up his mind, he asked Nie Xiaoqian to go back first, and after half an hour, he invited Yan Chixia to go to the mass grave behind Lanruo Temple.
Yan Chixia didn't quite understand what Li Fei's intention was.
Li Fei told him that he had an intuition that he couldn't let Nie Xiaoqian go to the underworld, otherwise it would bring them huge trouble.
Intuition is the most inexplicable, especially the intuition of people in practice, which must not be ignored, and Yan Chixia did not refuse.
