Chapter 40: Lingyao's Netherworld
Early the next morning, Xihe had just opened the door with dark circles under her eyes, and there was a Taoist in white clothes and hairpins standing in front of her, and she was startled, "Master? ”
The three of them were in the same room, Ling Yao was sitting on a stool, and the other two were kneeling on the ground.
Xi He secretly poked and poked at Xue Gu beside him, and said in a low voice, "When did Master leave the customs, why didn't you tell me?" ”
Xue Gu glanced at her and said, "You are embarrassed to ask, last night the master ordered me to say that I would come today, I went to the room to look for you, but I didn't expect you to be..."
"It's not what you think!"
"And what are you blushing about?"
When the two of them whispered, Ling Yao coughed lightly, and they knelt honestly.
Ling Yao said in a clear voice, "Aunt Xue, Xihe, do you know why the teacher is here this time?" ”
After the two secretly glanced at each other, they said gently, "The disciple is stupid, please make it clear to the master." ”
"Xihe, don't you really know?"
It was obvious when this sentence came out, the problem was with her, not Aunt Xue.
She subconsciously moved her right hand behind her.
"Xihe, although your cultivation is not as good as Xue Gu's, but you are not stupid, you have seen many things more thoroughly than Xue Gu, and you understand more things, do you still need to go down to the lower realm for the teacher to wake you up?"
She still kept her head down and didn't answer.
"As soon as the teacher came out of the customs this time, I heard Di Jun say about your affairs in the mortal world, you saved the merman clan and punished the sin immortal Yanlin, this thing is worthy of praise, but..."She paused and said, "You are taught by me personally, how to cultivate and how to be a teacher knows well, saving the merman clan This is in line with your style of acting, but you can seriously injure Yanlin or even die of injury, this is definitely not something that the two of you can do." ”
After a period of silence, as soon as Xue Gu spoke, she was picked up by Xi He in an instant, "Master, the apprentice admitted that there were other people who seriously injured Yan Lin, but this matter was not done wrong, so Master doesn't have to pursue it anymore." ”
Ling Yao said lightly, "Di Jun is not embarrassed in this matter, you are looking at the face of the teacher, and the teacher can not be investigated, but I have to give Di Jun an explanation, let's say, who is the person who killed Yan Lin?" ”
After a moment of silence, Xi He replied, "Yes....Yes..."
Her fingers hurt slightly from her pinching, but she couldn't say the second half of the sentence.
"Master, it was a snake demon from Pansnake Mountain who killed Yanlin Immortal Jun, although he is a demon clan, but he has helped us a lot in his journey with me and Xihe, he is not a person with evil intentions." Aunt Xue helped her out of the siege.
"Really?" Ling Yao asked.
Xi He nodded again and again, and replied, "The apprentice doesn't dare to deceive the master, it's indeed as Xue Gu said." ”
"Then since the two of them have no different intentions, why did you ramble when you just replied?"
Xi He sneered, "I just don't know how to answer for a while." ”
She sighed and said, "Well, I'm here today not only for this matter, but also to see how your search for Nuwa Stone is going." ”
"Back to Master, in less than half a month, Xihe and I should be able to find Nuwa Stone." Xue Gu replied.
Ling Yao nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Yes, it seems that Di Jun didn't choose the wrong person at the beginning." ”
"It's just..."
"Just what?"
Xue Gu hesitated for a moment, and then told the truth about the damage to the finger spirit needle.
Just when she and Xihe thought that she was about to receive a scolding from her master, she wrote lightly, "Since it is ruined, it will be destroyed, as long as you can find the Nuwa Stone, Dijun will make it clear to the teacher, but the Nuwa Stone must be brought back within three months, understand?" ”
When the two saw that the master had escaped for them, their eyebrows were instantly happy, and they replied again and again, "The apprentice must live up to his mission." ”
Ling Yao had just come out of the customs and had not been in the lower realm for a long time, and after hearing what they had seen and heard on this trip, she temporarily planned to stay in the human world for a while.
Now that the Nuwa Stone was already in their hands, they decided to stay with the township to accompany Master for a few days.
And in the past few days, Xihe knew in his heart that he must not let the mountain ghost and Yujingzi meet with the master.
Especially mountain ghosts, absolutely not.
So she deliberately changed an inn with Xue Gu quietly.
When she walked upstairs with her luggage, Ling Yao couldn't help asking, "Aunt Xue, Xihe, why did you suddenly change your inn?" ”
Xihe casually said a reason, "Master may not know, that inn is located in the center of Hexiang Township, it is inevitable that there will be some noise at night, Master has always been quiet, and the apprentice is worried that Master will not rest well at night, so he and Xue Gu changed to a more secluded inn." ”
Ling Yao said with a smile, "I have a heart." ”
Xi He also smiled, "Master, what is this saying, this is what Xue Gu and I should do." ”
Ling Yao has always had the habit of meditating, so after Xi He and Xue Gu settled the room for the master, they quietly retreated together and went to another guest room.
As soon as she entered the house, Xue Gu asked, "Are you planning to hide it from Master all the time?" ”
Xihe sighed and said, "Let's hide it for the time being." ”
Wait until she clarifies everything.
She returned to her room exhausted, slumped on the bed, staring blankly at the gray tent with a lot of emotion.
She can't see the truth or falsehood in this world.
Master once taught her that when dealing with the world, she should behave with good words and good deeds, not to form evil relationships, not to have evil thoughts, and not to do evil deeds.
In this line, she had met many people and encountered demons of all kinds, and when she was in the midst of it, she found that what she had once believed to be the truth was only the written word, and that fellowship with people was not entirely possible.
Sometimes, her kind words and deeds not only do not get the respect of others, but also hurt herself.
She used to think that weak mortals were the most pitiful in this world, but some people have evil hearts better than demons and monsters, on the contrary, some demons are very reasonable.
It's like Yujingzi and the mountain ghost.
Just as she was thinking about being fascinated, there was a creak by the window, and Xihe immediately sat up and looked at the window, only to see a red-clothed young man popping in outside the window.
She stood up, looked at him and asked, "Yukyoko?" How did you get here? ”
Before leaving, she left a note for the boss to give to them, hoping that they would stay in peace at the inn for a few days, but she didn't say where she went or what she was doing.
After she moved to the new bus station, her butt was still hot, and the man chased after her.
That's too fast, isn't it?
She seriously doubted that Yu Jingzi had sent someone by her side to spy on her.
He grinned and said, "Maybe my sister and I have a heart, so I found this place." ”
Xihe glanced at the wide open window behind him again.
Seeing this, I only listened to Yu Jingzi and said, "Sister, don't look at it, Brother Du didn't come with me, Brother Du has always been like this, unkind, I was kind enough to see him this morning, but he put on a face to show me, and he hit a gray face." ”
It's really unkind.
Xihe retracted his gaze, smiled lightly, and argued, "Who said I asked him?" ”
She walked to the window, glanced downstairs, and closed the window, blocking out the outside world.
She turned to him and asked, "What are you looking for me?" ”
Yu Jingzi noticed that her tone was dull and she didn't seem to be very happy, so she said, "Sister, today is the annual township gathering with the township, but it's lively, it's boring in this house, I'll go out with my sister." ”
The township rally, as the name suggests, is a joint gathering with the township and several other surrounding towns, and the assembly has everything, and it is also an important opportunity for people in different towns to exchange material resources, which is an inherent custom in the world.
The development of an ordinary town is limited, and it is time-consuming and laborious if the people in the town always run outside, so there is the origin of the township assembly.
The Lianxiang assembly is held by several towns in Lianxiang in turn, and this year it will be Huahe Township.
Xi He has been in the world for more than two months, and she has been in a hurry, except for the last Yuan Day Festival in the Narcissus Country, she has not visited the market in the world.
And she thinks his words are reasonable, she always likes to think crankily when she stays in the house, and she can't think of a reason, so she goes out with him.
By the way, pull Xue Gu along.
Originally, Xue Gu was reluctant to follow, but when she saw the corners of his mouth that was about to reach her temples on Yu Jingzi's face, she changed her mind for a while.
When walking on the street, Xue Gu squeezed between the two, holding a sword in her arms and holding her head high.
Seeing this, Yujingzi was too lazy to bother with her, so she went around from behind her to the other side of Xihe, seeing this, Xue Gu also held the sword and spared from behind, squeezing between the two again.
Yu Jingzi was a little depressed, and said in a bad tone, "Miss Xuegu, I said that you did it on purpose, right?" ”
She laughed, pretended not to know, and asked, "What did you do on purpose?" ”
Yu Jingzi clenched her fists, ignored her again, and secretly returned to her previous position, and Xue Gu learned that he also returned to her previous position.
However, Yu Jingzi had expected it, so she directly reached out and grabbed Xihe's shoulders and hugged her tightly.
Xue Gu suddenly became angry, and she was so tough that she broke up the two, "Yujingzi, you hurry up and let me go, do you hear?" ”
Yujingzi had a hippie smile, and when she saw that she didn't move, her heart was full of joy.
She added, "If you don't want to die, let it go, if you are caught by my master, you and Xihe will be finished." ”
Hearing this, Yu Jingzi's hand really loosened, and Xihe finally took a breath from the clutches of the two of them.
"You're not lying to me, are you?" Yujingzi asked.
Xue Gu glanced at him, pulled Xi He two steps away, and said, "Why did I lie to you?" Why do you think I and Xi are reconciled and decent, why did I suddenly move to another inn, Xi He hid it from the master for you, Du Gongzi, I don't have to worry, it's you, be honest, you can come to me if you have a 'hypochondriasis', I will accompany you at any time. ”
When the last sentence was spoken, only Xue Gu's fingers clicked.
"Hehe, I don't dare to bother Miss Xuegu." Yujingzi replied stiffly.
When they walked to the bustling area of the market, a stage was set up in the open space before, and many people gathered around it, so they also gathered around curiously.
A set of sunken wood tables and chairs were set up under the stage, and on the chair sat a woman with a peach blossom face, writing with a pen, and many people stood in front of her to say something, but most of them were girls.
Xihe got closer and heard a girl in front of her say, "Late Niang, write my name as well." ”
She stopped writing and raised her face, her voice was gentle, and asked, "Hongyue, what kind of talent are you going to perform?" ”
Hongyue pondered for a moment and blurted out, "Dancing Sword." ”
The woman called "Wan Niang" laughed softly and said, "So far, you are the only woman who has reported the sword dance, and most of these sword dancers are talents that men are good at, why don't you think about it again?" ”
Hongyue pondered for a while, then shook her head and said, "If you don't change it, you will dance the sword, my father won't let me dance the sword, but I prefer to dance the sword." ”
The matchmaker smiled helplessly, so she had to write her name in the notebook.
"Looks like a rebellious girl."
