The ninth day of the first month.

North of the Great Song Dynasty.

As the sun sets on the thin branches, the river next to it still glows with a little golden afterglow.

At this time, in the evening and twilight, Qu Feiyan and the women gathered next to the river were already preparing dinner familiarly.

After many days of getting along, even Wang Yuyan, who used to have ten fingers that did not touch the spring water, was able to join in at this time and help prepare some things with a few girls.

By the river, in front of the star at this time, a basin-sized water balloon was suspended in the air under the wrapping of true qi.

With the slow flow of true qi, the vegetables wrapped in this water are slowly rolling in this clear water.

After cleaning these vegetables three times, Lian Xing wrapped these vegetables with his strength and landed next to Lin Shiyin, who was condensing his true qi and sword qi and cutting vegetables.

While sucking a stream of water from the nearby river again and continuing to wash the remaining vegetables, Lianxing couldn't help but glance southwest.

"Why haven't you come back?"

After muttering in his heart, Lian Xing looked at Qu Feiyan next to him and said, "Eh! You said, when my brother-in-law and Sister Situ were in the courtyard in the past, Sister Situ was cultivating by herself, why did Sister Situ go to practice with her brother-in-law from time to time when she was in a hurry during this time! ”

Qu Feiyan said, "Didn't Sister Situ say it before? is about to break through, so she needs Childe to help her fight more and refine her true yuan. ”

Hearing this, Lianxing was puzzled: "Then why did you leave alone to avoid us?" And it takes more than half an hour each time? ”

Qu Feiyan rolled his eyes and said, "How do I know?" If you want to know, wouldn't it be okay to sneak along? ”

Lian Xing sighed and said secretly in his heart: "Do you think I don't want to? But this doesn't seem to be well-behaved and obedient enough! ”

A moment later, just when the sky was about to completely darken, Chu Qinghe and the jellyfish Yin Ji came back together at this time.

Compared with before leaving, Chu Qinghe's face was a little more lazy.

On the other hand, the sweetness on the face of the jellyfish Yin Ji is even stronger.

The eyes are curved like two crescent moons.

Looking at the sweet smile of the jellyfish Yin Ji, Pian Xing didn't think much about it.

After all, if he and Chu Qinghe were alone for half an hour, Lian Xing felt that the smile on his face would be even brighter and sweeter.

When the jellyfish Yin Ji came to Qu Feiyan's side and began to prepare dinner together, Chu Qinghe dodged and sat on the roof of the car.

Raising his eyes slightly, looking at the sunset on the horizon at this time, and then thinking of the bright sky when he and the jellyfish Yin Ji left before, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but sigh.

"The sun is at the end of the mountain!"

As the voice came out, Chu Qinghe raised his hand and gently knocked on the roof of the carriage a few times.

In the next second, Huahua, who was still holding a bamboo in her mouth, instantly jumped out of the carriage and fell to the ground, and then jumped up and rushed directly into Chu Qinghe's arms.

After leaning his back in Chu Qinghe's arms and gently rubbing his head in Chu Qinghe's arms, he took the bamboo and ate it.

In this way, one person and one national treasure sat on the roof of this car, admiring the afterglow in the sky at this time.

At night.

In front of the campfire, more than a dozen processed fish were impaled with wooden sticks and gathered around the campfire.

According to the different degrees of the more than a dozen fish being roasted by the flames, Xiao Zhao will also carefully adjust the distance between the fish and the flames.

From time to time, after brushing with some oil, as the skin of the fish gradually wrinkles, the sound of "zizizi" also emanates from the body of these fish skins.

Wang Yuyan on the side was holding a wooden bowl and a brush and gently brushing some sauce on the bodies of these fish.

Smelling the aroma coming from these grilled fish, the saliva in the mouth is secreted a little faster.

Maybe it's because after leaving Mantuo Villa, Wang Yuyan is a lot happier with Qu Feiyan and her daughters every day.

Or the influence of the bonfire at this time, if Wang Yuyan was like a sick beauty who had just come out of the ice cave, she still had a feeling of sickness.

So now, Wang Yuyan feels more normal.

Even the number of smiles on his face every day is much higher.

While Xiao Zhao and Wang Yuyan were handling the grilled fish here, Chu Qinghe and the others were playing mahjong around a card table built of simple wood.

There is a wooden stick stuck in the four corners of the table, and several lanterns are hung on it, which clearly reflects the cards on the table of several people at this time.

Jellyfish Yin Ji sat cross-legged beside Chu Qinghe and cultivated quietly.

After a while, after brushing the grilled fish in front of her with a thin layer of sauce, Wang Yuyan put down the wooden bowl in her hand with satisfaction.

After thinking for a while, Wang Yuyan raised a finger and quickly touched a grilled fish in front of her, and then put it in her mouth.

Feeling the taste in her mouth, Wang Yuyan's eyes couldn't help but squint slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth again.

Then he looked up at the starry sky at this time, and then looked at Chu Qinghe and a few people on the side, for some reason, he was obviously going to sleep in the wilderness at night at this time, but with Chu Qinghe and a few people, Wang Yuyan's heart at this time was particularly relaxed and happy, and there was no anxiety at all.

However, at this moment, as if sensing something, Wang Yuyan suddenly turned her head, but saw Xiao Zhao on the side looking at her with a smile.

Seeing this, Wang Yuyan was suspicious: "What's wrong?" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Zhao shook his head lightly and said, "It's nothing, I just feel that Miss Wang seems to have been a lot more cheerful recently." ”

"Really?" Listening to what Xiao Zhao said, Wang Yuyan first thought about it, and then said: "Maybe I have never seen the world outside Mantuo Villa before, so my mood has become better." ”

Speaking of this, after a pause for a while, Wang Yuyan shook her head again and said, "However, I didn't expect that outside Mantuo Villa, it was even more chaotic and complicated than what my mother told me." ”

Not to mention, in these days when they came out of Mantuo Villa, they basically met some people with bad intentions every day.

Even in the middle, he was secretly drugged several times.

It's just that every time it will be discovered by Chu Qinghe for the first time.

In this regard, Xiao Zhao recalled with a smile: "Yes! The outside world is not only chaotic but also complicated. ”

But in the next second, glancing at Chu Qinghe and a few people on the side, Xiao Zhao said with a smile: "But with the son, the trouble can be solved as soon as possible." ”

Listening to Xiao Zhao's words, Wang Yuyan said without thinking: "Yes! ”

As she spoke, Wang Yuyan turned her head to look at Chu Qinghe.

When her eyes fell on Chu Qinghe, Wang Yuyan at this time suddenly thought of the picture that three days ago, they had just finished eating, and Chu Qinghe threw an antidote pill to her.

At that time, Wang Yuyan felt stunned, and when she recalled it at this time, Wang Yuyan couldn't help but want to laugh for a while.

After a few breaths, Wang Yuyan spoke: "It is indeed very reassuring to have someone like Zhao Gongzi by his side. ”

At this time, as if thinking of something, after Wang Yuyan hesitated for a while, Wang Yuyan suddenly asked: "When I was in the apricot forest before, I listened to what Zhao Min, the county lord of the Great Yuan Kingdom, said, are Zhao Gongzi and you all disfigured?" ”

Listening to Wang Yuyan's question, Xiao Zhao first glanced at Chu Qinghe.

Seeing that Chu Qinghe didn't have any reaction, Xiao Zhao responded: "When Miss Zhao Min saw Gongzi and us twice, she was changed her face, and she didn't see our true face, so if you have a preconceived idea, you will think that we are also changed now." ”

Putting Xiao Zhao's words in her ears, Wang Yuyan said with a sudden face: "I see." ”

"Boom!"

However, at this moment, a clear fluctuation suddenly came from the side.

Immediately afterwards, under this fluctuation, the bonfire in front of Wang Yuyan and Xiao Zhao shifted under this fluctuation.

Fortunately, Xiao Zhao reacted immediately, and formed a wall of true qi in his body to block the bonfire, so as not to affect the heat of the grilled fish.

A moment later, in the sight of Chu Qinghe and a few people, feeling the change in the true qi in the body of the jellyfish Yin Ji at this time, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but say with envy on his face: "This is the completion of the Great Grandmaster Realm!" ”

Not to mention Qu Feiyan, even the pity star and even Lin Shiyin on the side had a look of envy in their eyes when they looked at the jellyfish Yin Ji at this time.

For others, stepping from the late stage of the Great Grandmaster Realm to the Great Grandmaster Realm is just a breakthrough to a realm.

But for the jellyfish Yin Ji, now that she has entered the consummation of the Great Grandmaster Realm, she only needs to stabilize the next cultivation realm a little bit, and she can successfully enter the early stage of the Heavenly and Human Realm through the pill in Chu Qinghe's hand.

Not only has he entered the ranks of the top masters in the world, but he has also been able to rise his life.

Who can not envy this?

Here, with the successful breakthrough and all the true qi converged into the dantian, the jellyfish Yin Ji at this time immediately walked to Chu Qinghe's side and sat down with a smile on her face: "Breakthrough." ”

While speaking, the jellyfish Yin Ji looked at Chu Qinghe happily.

Looking at the jellyfish Yin Ji waiting to be praised, Chu Qinghe smiled lightly, and then said with a smile: "Not bad." ”

Although it was just two simple words, it made the smile on the face of the jellyfish Yin Ji a little stronger, and her heart was full of satisfaction.

Beside him, taking the childlike behavior of the jellyfish Yin Ji into his eyes at this time, Lian Xing snorted softly in his heart, "Childish, can't you be as mature as me?" ”

It's just that, looking at the jellyfish Yin Ji who was next to her at this time, and even pillowed her head on Chu Qinghe's shoulder, Lian Xing couldn't help but tilt her head and pout.

I have to admit that I feel envious to death in my heart.

At this time, Yin Ji, the jellyfish who was pillowed on Chu Qinghe's shoulder, looked at Lianxing like this, and a little thoughtfulness appeared in her eyes.

At this time, after the grilled fish next to the bonfire was left with wooden sticks and no fish, Chu Qinghe and several people at this time were lying on the blankets next to the bonfire.

As far as the eye can see, the stars in the night sky twinkle from time to time, dazzling and charming.

The sound of water flowing in the river next to it continued, and the taste of grilled fish remained in the mouths of several people.

Being at such a close distance under the night in the mountains, the hearts of several people at this time were peaceful.

It's just that after people have eaten and drunk enough, sometimes they will think about some other things.

Just like the pity star at this time.

Smashing it, smashing it, and recalling the faint remaining fishy smell of the grilled fish in his mouth, Lian Xing turned his head slightly, and glanced at Chu Qinghe, who was next to him with a hand pillow on the back of his head and closed his eyes lightly, but he wanted to taste another fishy smell in his heart.

But in the next second, Invite Yue's figure and the cold gaze of Invite Yue suddenly appeared in Mercy Xing's mind.

In this regard, Lianxing's body couldn't help but tremble violently, and then his face suddenly showed bitterness.

Even when he looked at Chu Qinghe, there was a little more resentment in his eyes.

The most painful thing in the world is that the beloved is close at hand, but it seems to be separated by a thousand mountains in the middle.

But what you can't get is always in turmoil.

knew that there were many difficulties in the middle, but the pity star couldn't hold back the restlessness in his heart.

"Hey~"

In this regard, Lianxing couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and the whole person couldn't help but feel melancholy.

However, the pity star who fell into melancholy did not know.

At this time, she was frowning, but there was a gaze staring at her secretly, and the thoughts in her eyes seemed to be brewing.

Eleven, sunny.

To the north of the Great Song Dynasty, Yanzhou City is 30 miles away from the North Shaolin Five Buddha Mountain.

As evening approached, the entire Yanzhou City was surrounded by smoke.

From a distance, the whole city seems to be wrapped in a layer of cloud smoke, and under the evening sun, the slowly fluttering clouds and smoke make the whole Yanzhou City have a bit of a dreamlike feeling.

It was also at this time that a horse-drawn carriage slowly drove into the city.

And when they entered the city, Qu Feiyan, who was sitting in front of the carriage and driving, smelled a faint sandalwood fragrance for the first time.

And like the towns near Shaolin in the south of the Ming Dynasty at that time, there are not only many monks walking in the city in the northern Shaolin, but also the doors of the shops in the city, almost half of the doors are filled with incense wax of different sizes.

And along the way, there are many people holding a string of hand beads in their hands.

There are even many street vendors along the road who sell their goods to the surrounding pedestrians with Buddhist beads carved with Buddha patterns or jade plaques or gold objects carved with Buddha statues, and their eyes sometimes show a bit of shrewdness.

In this regard, Qu Feiyan in front of the carriage muttered: "How do you feel that there are more people doing this kind of Buddhist business in Yanzhou City next to Shaolin in the north than in the town next to Shaolin in the south of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Listening to Qu Feiyan's words beside him, Lin Shiyin said as usual: "Now there is only one top force left in the Great Song Dynasty, Northern Shaolin, in terms of status and influence, Northern Shaolin is far from being comparable to Southern Shaolin in the Ming Dynasty, in the heart of the Great Song Kingdom, where this Northern Shaolin is located, it has been operated into a holy place, and there is an endless stream of pilgrims who go to this Northern Shaolin every day, which is naturally more prosperous than the towns around Southern Shaolin." ”

Inside the carriage, listening to the buzzing voices outside, Chu Qinghe, who had been immersed in the actual combat simulator before, also opened his eyes.

After stretching his waist and sitting up, Chu Qinghe first glanced at the little guy lying next to him twice, and then lifted the curtain to look at the street scene outside.

It's just that after a few glances, Chu Qinghe lost interest and continued to rua the little guy next to him.

And being moved by Chu Qinghe's wanton rua, the little guy on the blanket on the side even took the initiative to turn over and lie down, so that Chu Qinghe's hand covered a larger area.

's well-behaved and sticky appearance attracted the envy of Wang Yuyan on the side.

It's been so many days, because of the fact that he rode in the carriage with Chu Qinghe and a few people, and there was a slight smell on Chu Qinghe's body, although Wang Yuyan is now closer to the little guy, it is limited to feeding bamboo.

Once the bamboo smells bad, the little one will just throw it aside.

Not to mention a casual rua like Chu Qinghe.

Looking at Chu Qinghe's actions at this time, Wang Yuyan couldn't help but imagine what kind of hand Rua felt when this little guy was in his hands.

"Although it's fluffy, it probably doesn't have a slightly stiff hair like in my position!"

The human mind is sometimes peculiar.

In this time of emptiness, I don't know where my mind will jump.

Just like Wang Yuyan now.

Looking at the little guy at this time, and then seeing Chu Qinghe holding the little guy's hand, Wang Yuyan didn't know what to think, and suddenly turned her head, and the roots of her ears were slightly red.

Next to him, looking at the little guy who was intimate with Chu Qinghe at this time, Lian Xing also sighed lightly in his heart.

Obviously, she feeds the little guy every day like the jellyfish Yin Ji, but now, when the little guy is on Chu Qinghe's shoulder or in his arms, the jellyfish Yin Ji has been able to get started occasionally, but she still can't.

This made Lianxing puzzle in his heart, and he couldn't understand the difference between himself and the jellyfish Yin Ji, so that the little guy would be treated differently like this.

Half an hour later, after a few people decided on a place to stay, they went to the most famous restaurant near the north of the city according to the recommendation of the shopkeeper.

Looking at the street below, Xiao Zhao's tone at this time was slightly complicated: "I didn't expect that for so long in this Great Song Dynasty, the most prosperous place I saw was next to this Northern Shaolin." ”

Lin Shiyin on the side also sighed: "Yes! The Buddha is high, but when it is popular, it is full of copper smell. ”

Chu Qinghe and the others have been in this Great Song Kingdom for a long time.

However, in these years, the Great Song Kingdom has been required to pay annual coins to the other four countries every year.

Inside, traitorous ministers are in charge, the family has the power to seize land and cheap peasants, and the situation of the Great Song Kingdom can be imagined.

In these days, what the women have seen, let alone the official road, even the walls of some towns have been in disrepair all year round, and beggars can always be seen in almost every town and every street.

The clothes worn by ordinary people range from a few to a dozen patches.

But now in Yanzhou City, even those small vendors on the street are wearing clothes sewn from fine silk cloth.

Even after Xiao Zhao and the girls saw a well-dressed woman throw a few copper plates into a beggar's bowl, the beggar not only did not thank her, but instead showed disgust and disdain.

But there is a feeling that Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.

Next to a thousand-year-old temple, it gives people the feeling that it is not surrounded by Buddha rhyme, but this feeling of philistine copper.

Compared with the sentimentality of the two women at this time, Chu Qinghe was not surprised.

If people's hearts are long, there will be no Buddha in the world.

Perhaps, the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty is one of the reasons why this Northern Shaolin has endured.

After all, the suffering is thick, but it is the time when the Buddha's voice is the most.
