Chapter 2 Shangguan Nianxi
The next day, it was just dawn.
Yu Yi had already gotten up and went to the nearby mountains alone to cultivate, refining with the help of the rising sun and yin and yang purple qi, which was what he had to do every day.
Xuanli enters the body, travels around the body along the tendons, and constantly improves Yuyi's body, after such accumulated cultivation, Yuyi's physical strength is already comparable to that of a real Xuanshi.
Yuyi's father handed him over to Grandpa Qing when Yuyi was eight years old, and followed him to practice, of course, this matter was not mentioned to others, and at night Yuyi took the opportunity to deliver food, and Grandpa Qing would teach him some cultivation methods, as well as exercises and occult arts.
Maybe others don't know, but Yu Yi knows that this Qing grandfather is very strong, at least even his father is not his opponent, and Yu Yi's father Yu Qing is a real Xuan Shi with the strength to knock on the Xuan Realm.
Knocking Xuan's strength is not enough to see, it can be seen how terrifying Grandpa Qing is, but his old man seems to have long been far away from the world, and he takes wine as his companion every day, and he doesn't care about the villagers' discussions.
Yu Yi practiced hard every day according to Grandpa Qing's instructions, but for so many years, his strength has improved slowly, and he has not been able to open up the Xuanhai Sea and be promoted to a Xuanshi.
After a morning of epiphany, Yuyi was also ready to go home, and she didn't forget to pick some herbs before leaving.
When I got home, I still cooked and took care of it by myself.
After everything was done, Yu Yi went to the Yuanmeng Hall in the town.
Daosi Town, where Yuyi is located, is one of the Thirteen Blessing Townships in the east and south of Linzhou, and there are three major forces in the Thirteen Blessing Townships.
They are the Yuan League, the Shanwei Martial Arts Pavilion and the Tingfeng Camp, and there are many Xuanshi in the three major forces, although the camps are different, but they are all seeking the well-being of the thirteen blessed townships, so they are deeply loved by the villagers.
And Yu Yi's father, Yu Qing, is the leader of the Yuan Alliance, and he has the strength to knock on the Xuan Realm, and he is the strongest of the three major forces.
Although Yu Qing is the leader of the alliance, he does not have any shelf, but helps the townspeople in a friendly way, and the people in the Yuan League are all young and strong people in the town, and they often hunt wild beasts and pick herbs with Yu Qing on weekdays.
Yuyi sometimes goes with her, and she can also contribute.
Yuanmeng is the most prosperous section of the town, surrounded by an endless stream of people, with countless shops and stalls, which seems to be very lively.
After a while, Yuyi arrived at the Yuanmeng Palace, and immediately shouted loudly: "Dad, I'm here, when will I go hunting today?" ”
"Ahem... Hmm..."
"Yi'er, don't be unreasonable, we are discussing important matters, step down!" Yu Qing coughed in surprise and then said.
When Yuyi heard this, she smiled slightly embarrassedly, arched her hand in response, and stepped aside.
Then, a middle-aged man sitting with Yu Qing said slowly: "Yu Alliance Master, this matter is up to you, please leave quickly, otherwise it will be unimaginable!" ”
"Deputy Pavilion Master Lei rest assured, when I arrange the affairs of the alliance, I will go to support," Yu Qing responded.
"Then thank you to the leader of the alliance, Lei Mou retired first" said and turned around and left the main hall, going straight away.
Seeing this, Yuyi was also confused, and asked carefully, "Dad, who is this person?" He seems to have something to ask you for."
Yu Qing sighed and said: "Something happened in Wayao Town, which belongs to the same line as us, it is very serious, and the deputy hall master of the Shanwei Martial Arts Pavilion has come to ask for help."
"So today's hunting operation is canceled, I'll go with your Uncle Bai to take a look, and all the affairs in the alliance will be handed over to your Uncle Shangguan, Yi'er, you are so good to listen to your Uncle Shangguan's arrangement, don't make trouble"
When Yuyi heard this, although she was a little disappointed, she also realized the seriousness of the problem, and agreed categorically: "Dad, don't worry!" I'll help Uncle Shangguan."
Yu Qing nodded, and then looked at Shangguan Zhun.
"Brother-to-be, I'm sorry for you"
Shangguan Zhun smiled and said, "You and I have been friends for so many years, and you still say this, go quickly, there is me in the alliance"
Instead, Yu Qing walked in front of Yu Yi and said softly: "Yi'er, after so many years,"
Yu Qing answered, and went out with Bai Cheng.
Seeing her father and them leaving in a hurry, Yu Yi couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Shangguan, what happened in this Wayao Town?" ”
"I don't know too much, I just know that a lot of townspeople died, don't worry, with your father and the old ghost of Baicheng, I believe it will end soon"
Bai Cheng and Shangguan Zhun are both the deputy leaders of the Yuan League, Yu Qing's best friend, and they have a fateful friendship, and the three of them founded the Yuan League together, and they are all well-known figures in these thirteen blessed towns, and their strength should not be underestimated.
On weekdays, most of them are managed by Shangguan Zhun in the affairs of the alliance, Bai Cheng has a free and easy personality, does not like to manage, Yu Qing often goes hunting, helps the townspeople, and does not spend much time in the alliance.
Originally, Yu Yi was going to hunt with Yu Qing today, but as soon as this incident came out, she had to find another time.
"Yi'er, you go to the shop to help take care of it first, the shopkeeper of the shops in the original South Lane disappeared for no reason, and now there is a shortage of manpower, Nianxi has gone to replace it, you can also help!"
Shangguan Zhun sighed and said!
When Yu Yi heard this, her curiosity suddenly rose, and she asked, "Missing?" How so! ”
Shangguan Zhun also frowned, sighed, and said slowly: "Strange things have happened recently, not only has he disappeared, but also several Zhang disciples who went to the city yesterday also disappeared mysteriously on the way back, only a few corpses and scattered goods were found ten miles outside the town, and even some livestock and beasts were brutally poisoned, and the townspeople were panicked."
"Your father and I are worried about this matter, and now he has something to go out, so this matter is all on me, I will do my best to investigate these days, what about you, don't run around, just stay in the store!"
Yuyi has also been in the town for the past few days, and she has not heard of it, but when she first heard it, she was also a little shocked, and thought to herself, bring more medicine and sharp weapons to protect herself, so as not to encounter accidents. Then, under the urging of Shangguan Zhun several times, he also hurried to the shop in South Lane.
Most of the shops in the town are assets in the alliance, and all kinds of drugs and groceries are transported from the outside for sale, after all, in this poor and remote place, there are no good things, and it seems to be a profitable business, but in fact it is doing charity, how can the townspeople have oil and water to fish, if you want to make Daosi Town developed, you have to communicate with the outside world and understand new things, so the sale is also extremely cheap.
The south lane is not far away, Yuyi has arrived in only half an hour, after all, in the streets and alleys, the crowds of people coming and going, particularly eye-catching, the busy streets are full of shouts, customers come and go, Yuyi goes straight through the bustling crowd, into the shop.
The store is not big, but there are a lot of items, and there are customers who come to pick it all around, but only a few clerks are busy.
"Young Master Yuyi! Why are you here, and you don't know in advance, it's really a long way off! ”
"Uncle Shangguan asked me to help, you don't have to care about me, just abide by his duties"
The shopkeeper laughed awkwardly, stopped talking, and Yu Yi didn't think so, everyone called him by his name on weekdays, but he really didn't have the young master's shelf, and he couldn't get used to it.
Then, Yu Yi beckoned the shopkeeper to take him to the inner room account library, and the shopkeeper was not ambiguous, and hurriedly led Yu Yi to the inner door, the account room was very quiet, only a shadow was constantly flipping through the account book, looking very anxious.
The girl is Shangguan Nianxi, the daughter of Shangguan Zhun, dressed in green clothes, with a graceful figure, a beautiful face, tall eyebrows, and a shrugged double ponytail, which shows a little bit of the girl's sharpness, such as a cherry mouth slightly raised, the more disgusted with books.
The appearance of fifteen or sixteen years old, at this moment her face is full of sorrow, the messy books around her are probably her masterpieces, and the bright room is a bit lonely.
Yuyi knocked on the door gently, and the girl in Tsing Yi woke up like a dream, looked up and looked forward, and in a blink of an eye, her face was happy and waved enthusiastically.
"Brother Yuyi, you finally remembered to come to see me! I'm suffocating."
The girl jumped up and down in front of Yuyi, and the jumping up and down of the double ponytail also added a cute atmosphere, and then a flutter poured into Yuyi's arms, Yuyi only felt that her body was hot, her cheeks were already red, and she even stammered a little.
"Nianxi, this... That's not good! Let outsiders see it and be laughed at again."
Yuyi squeaked, and Nianxi also knew it, so she hurriedly broke away, her mouth pouted, and she looked a little embarrassed.
Then he asked Yu Yi again: "Brother Yu Yi, did you come to see me?" ”
Yu Yi smiled slightly awkwardly: "It was Uncle Shangguan who asked me to help you."
Hearing this, Nianxi turned his head and complained: "Hmph, my father still knows that he cares about me!" Let me do this nasty errand, without any consideration for my feelings"
"Forget it, since Brother Yuyi can come and accompany me, I won't feel bored, let's go out for a walk!"
After saying that, he pulled Yuyi and ran out, and by the way, he beckoned the shopkeeper to take care of the store temporarily. Rushing out all the way, seeing this lively bazaar, Nianxi couldn't bear it anymore, and took Yuyi to wander left and right, extremely excited, although Yuyi felt average, but when she saw this girl's happy appearance, she was also faintly excited.
"Brother Yuyi, look, it seems that there is some kind of event being held, let's go and see!"
Looking in the direction pointed by Nianxi, it is a huge square, the pavilions on the field are towering, the lights are colorful, the crowd under the stage is moving, clapping and echoing, flying by, there are several troupes on the pavilion, heavy makeup, singing loudly, and all kinds of juggling performances, which are beautiful. Nianxi has lived in this small town since he was a child, and he has never seen this kind of world, cheering and dancing, pulling the corners of his clothes, which makes him dizzy.
"Brother Yuyi, look, there are big operas, and there is a viewing stage! Let's check it out! ”
Nianxi pointed ahead and screamed loudly, and before Yuyi could speak, he dragged him forward. The crowd in front is dense, and there is a long queue, all of them are buying tickets, there is no free lunch in the world, this kind of stage can only be entered by buying tickets, Nianxi, who was extremely excited just now, is now full of melancholy, complaining in a low voice, there are too many people.
After all, this kind of troupe has never been to a small town before, and the townspeople are very fresh, scrambling to buy tickets.
"Yo yo! Miss Nianxi is also here to buy tickets? What a coincidence! ”
Just when the two were helpless, a voice slowly sounded, the person who came was seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in a brocade robe, holding a folding fan, accompanied by two maids behind him, with a proud expression, a proper gentleman. In fact, his real identity is the son-in-law of the Fu family, named Fu Suqing, who is debauched and uninhibited on weekdays, plus the Fu family is the leading rich man in Daosi Town and even Thirteen Fu Townships, as the only son of the old man Fu, he has been spoiled since he was a child, which has created his arrogant character.
"Humph! You guy, why do you have you everywhere? The ghost lingers. Seeing Fu Suqing's arrival, Nianxi suddenly felt a lot of disgust, and squeezed mercilessly.
Hearing Nianxi's words, Fu Suqing not only was not in a hurry, but said calmly: "Is Miss Nianxi going to watch a play?" That's really a coincidence, contemptible and talented, this drama troupe is run by my Fu family, and the theater tickets are also sold by my Fu family, if Miss Nianxi wants, you can be accommodating! ”
"This troupe is undertaken by your Fu family?"
After hearing Fu Suqing's words, Nian Xi showed an expression of disbelief and asked in surprise!
Seeing the other party's expression, Fu Suqing's mouth raised slightly, revealing an arrogant look, and said unhurriedly: "Miss Nianxi don't be surprised, this opera troupe is Yancheng's trump card, the drama is very authentic, my Fu family spent a lot of money to invite it, in addition, I will leave you a VIP room in front of the stage, the viewing effect is excellent!" I'm in for a treat, I don't know if Miss Nianxi is willing to appreciate her face? ”
Although Nianxi hated this guy a lot, Nianxi couldn't help but be moved when he looked at the VIP private room, and after some thought, Nianxi took out a heavy bag of money from his waist, handed it to Fu Suqing, and said softly: "Then thank you, this is the ticket money, give us two private rooms, as for the treat, you don't need it."
Nian Xi's actions made Fu Suqing stunned for a few seconds, and then his eyes gradually turned to Yu Yi's body, staring fiercely.
It seems that Fu Suqing attributed the reason for Nianxi's rejection of him to Yuyi's head.
But Yuyi also felt helpless!
