Volume 1 The First Journey Chapter 4 Little Fish
It's spring again.
It has been more than a year since Wei Changming stepped into practice.
At his father's request, early in the morning, Wei Changming came to the alley to buy some necessary items at home.
It's just that Tiangong seems to be a little unpretty.
The dark clouds continued to gather, and with the sound of "boom", it was hazy and drizzling in the sky again.
Raindrops condensed on the bricks and tiles slid down the eaves, gently knocking on the masonry on the ground.
On both sides of the road, on the maple trees that had just grown pale green buds, the branches had been bent over, and a few drops of rain were about to drop at any moment.
"Drop, click."
"Alas, how does it rain every spring."
A young man, carrying a large and small cloth bag in his right hand and skillfully holding up the oil-paper umbrella in his left hand, sighed and looked up at the sky.
"What about other continents, is it raining too?"
······
As the saying goes: the most is the benefit of spring of the year, and it is better than the smoke and willows in the imperial capital.
The Flower Moon Sect in Qianzhou.
"Daddy, I know, don't rush! People want to play a little longer! ”
A girl with two pigtails looked at the middle-aged man in front of her angrily and said, "Urging every day, urging every day!" It's annoying! ”
"My little fish, if you have a choice, Daddy also wants you to play here happily for the rest of your life, but this time you have to be."
A middle-aged man said helplessly: "This opportunity is very important, and you also know how fierce the competition is in the place where we are. ”
As he spoke, the man walked to the entrance of the house, looking at the disciples who were walking around outside the house, his eyes were a little deep.
"There are many sects in Qianzhou, and although we occupy a place, we have been declining year by year in recent years."
"And the most fundamental reason for the decline is that the Flower Moon Sect was set up for women at the beginning of its establishment, and now the sect master is your father and me, and most of the elders are also men, but we don't know why, but we can't understand the last weight of the Flower Moon Rite at all, and there are only a handful of women in the sect who can practice to the last few levels, and after several generations, no one has the ability to guarantee the future of the Flower Moon Sect."
As he spoke, the man turned to look at the girl.
"Little fish, every five years, every continent will jointly hold an intercontinental meeting, and at that time, each continent will send representatives to participate. However, our sect has not participated in two consecutive sessions. Our disciples can't even stand out from the inside of Qianzhou, let alone ascend to the sky. ”
"Do you know how many resources you can get by participating in the Intercontinental Meeting, do you know that if this continues, our sect will ······?"
"I know, I know, I can't go." Xiao Yu'er muttered, imitating the middle-aged man's tone and said: "Xiao Yu'er, you are the hope of our sect, and your mother told me to take good care of you before she died." ”
Xiao Yu'er turned her head to look at the middle-aged man in front of her, "Daddy, you say this every day, and I have to recite it on my back." ”
The middle-aged man touched Xiao Yu'er's head and said dotingly, "Then I won't say it." ”
"Tomorrow, I'll let Sister Xuan accompany you."
"Knowing Daddy, then I'll go play first!" After saying this, Xiao Yu'er rushed out of the room with a "whoosh".
Before leaving, Xiao Yu'er didn't forget to piggyback on the door, for fear that his father would change his mind, and continued to pull himself to talk.
With a "clang", the door was slammed shut.
"Alas, this kid is not at all worrying." The middle-aged man walked to the window, looked at the girl outside the window, and shook his head helplessly, but his eyes were full of love.
Although the girl has recently passed her twelfth birthday, in the eyes of her parents, she will always be that child, who needs to be taken care of and protected.
The middle-aged man withdrew his gaze, walked to the middle of the room, and sat down.
"Xuanyi."
Then, a woman in red opened the door softly, carefully covered it, walked to the middle-aged man's side with a sword, and bowed half-kneeling.
"Sect Master."
"Hmm." The middle-aged man nodded expressionlessly.
When facing others, the middle-aged man's face was no longer soft, in exchange for a serious look.
"Xuanyi, you are a very outstanding disciple of the young generation of our Huayue Sect, tomorrow you will take Xiao Yu'er to Qingyu City in Sangzhou, I haven't mentioned my whereabouts to anyone this time, there is no big sect near Qingyu City, with your cultivation in the later stage of foundation building is enough to deal with, be careful on the road."
"Yes, Sect Master." Xuan Yi got up, but his face was a little puzzled.
"But Sect Master, what is this behavior between me and Xiao Yu'er?" Xuan Yi asked puzzled.
"There is a lack of exercises. Xiao Yu'er's mother went suddenly, and was attacked by thieves outside. I can only be in charge of the Flower Moon Sect on my behalf, but the core part of the "Flower Moon Ceremony" has always only been passed on to the sect master, and I cooperated with the elders to barely comprehend the last layer of the exercises, but there are already some differences from the original method, and the female disciples who are in the bottleneck are making slow progress, which has also led to the end of our sect. ”
The middle-aged man stood up and patted the girl in red on the shoulder.
"This time, I need you to take Xiao Yu'er to find her grandmother, that is, the former sect master, it took us a lot of effort to find the traces of the old man, I want to guard the sect and can't get out, there are too many people and it is easy to encounter accidents, so this time it's all up to you, Xuanyi."
"The sect master is serious." The woman in red said with her fists clenched.
"This trip is not only for the sect, but also for myself. Being able to perfect the repair technique is a big deal for our Flower Moon Sect, and Xuanyi will pay attention to it. ”
"Alright, let's go down."
"Yes, Sect Master."
"Alas, Zimeng, you left suddenly, there is a big problem in the sect."
The middle-aged man sighed, looked out the window, and looked out of the window.
Relieved, Xiao Yu'er wore a pale yellow dress and happily walked out of the sect and came to the noisy street market.
As a major sect in Qianzhou, the Huayue Sect is located in a place that is not isolated from the world.
On the contrary, the Flower Moon Sect is located in the prosperous city of Sucheng, and the disciples of the sect often haunt the restaurants in various cities, performing their talents to the world, which is not only to cultivate their hearts in the red dust, but also to search for information about the world.
"This time, my father only let Sister Xuan accompany me, it's so good, I can finally play to my heart's content!"
Xiao Yu'er was humming a song, holding a sugar gourd in his hand that he didn't know when he bought, and he was in a particularly good mood.
"Hey, it seems to be very lively here." The little fish, who didn't think it was too big, looked at the crowd in front of him.
"Let me see, let me see!" The little fish, which was only half the height of an adult, could not see anything at all.
"I'm so angry with Aunt Ben!" Xiao Yu'er puffed out her cheeks and crossed her waist with her hands, as if the pedestrians in front of her were her enemies.
"If it weren't for my young age, I would have cultivated to the late stage of Qi cultivation. When I'm like my brothers and sisters, I want to fly in the air! ”
"Get out of the way! What the hell is it? Xiao Yu'er struggled to pull the people in front of him, and it took a lot of effort to squeeze to the front, and as soon as he walked in, he heard the sound of quarreling.
"This is the talisman my father gave me, why do you say it's yours!"
An immature young man blushed, holding a jade pendant in both hands, looking at the person in front of him with a nervous expression.
The person who confronted the boy was an older young man, who was looking at the boy with a calm expression at this time.
"You said it was yours, what proof is there?"
The young man's voice gradually became softer, and he said, "My father is the shopkeeper of the restaurant that Huayue Sect is responsible for, and he came out a few days ago
Accidentally, he gave this to me before he died. ”
The boy looked at the youth.
"I saw you when I was helping my father, you are a guest of the Flower Moon Sect, but I hope you can be fair, this thing is very important to me!"
"The son of a little tavern shopkeeper, I really don't know where I got the courage to say that this jade pendant is yours, how much do you know the value of this jade pendant? It can withstand the full force of the powerhouse of the Jindan period. ”
The young man glanced contemptuously at the young man in front of him.
"You? I see that your skills in the middle stage of Qi cultivation are not yet stable. Do you dare to say that this jade pendant is yours? ”
The boy's voice became softer, "But, but, this is really what my father left me. ”
"That's it! My guy said it was his, that's his, I believe him. ”
At this moment, a crisp voice came from the crowd.
"Yo, who wants to help this little brother who practices qi?" The young man looked at the people in the crowd with a hint of mockery in his playful expression.
"The little sister has a good talent, and her skills are already much deeper than the brother you want to help out."
After speaking, the young man's expression returned to flatness.
"But that's not enough."
"You don't know me, but I know you." Xiao Yu'er chewed a bite of the sugar gourd and continued.
"Looking at the pattern on your robe, it should be someone from Xiaobaitang. How? If you don't do anything to save people, you are doing the trick of abduction? ”
The young man chuckled and said, "I'm from Xiaobaitang, but today it's not the turn of a little girl in the Qi training period to judge justice." ”
"Really?" Another cold female voice came from afar. A short time later, a woman in red stepped into the air.
Red-clothed walked up to the girl, touched her pigtails, and then whispered:
"If Gongzi firmly believes that this jade pendant is yours, then bother to go to our sect to adjudicate, I believe this is a misunderstanding."
Hearing this, the young man seemed to flinch a little.
"That's it, it's just a piece of jade pendant, since you people from the Flower Moon Sect insist on standing up for this young man, I will give you this favor."
With that, the young man from Xiaobaitang vacated and left the scene.
"Hmph, Sister Xuan, he's just scared, and he said the same thing as if we were bullying him." Xiao Yu'er said angrily, "Our Huayue Sect has always been fair, and we have never bullied others. ”
"Okay, our little fish is the most righteous." Xuan Yi touched Xiao Yu'er's head, "We should go back too, pack up our things, and we should set off tomorrow." ”
"Yes, sister."
······
The woman in red held the girl's left hand, while the girl's right hand held a string of uneaten sugar gourds.
The pale yellow dress is tied with a pink ribbon.
Under the sunshine, it looks like a butterfly flying and a yellow oriole.
