Chapter 35: Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger
In an inn in Sanssouci Town, Lu Xinrui anxiously looked out the window at the drizzle that had fallen overnight, and until it gradually cleared up this morning, she didn't see the figure in the pink coat.
Since that day of separation, she waited for a day and two nights and didn't see Yan Mingxiu come back, her heart became more and more anxious, and she couldn't help but ask, "Has Senior Brother Ji arrived?" We've waited so long, why hasn't Uncle come back yet? ”
She asked many times but didn't see Yan Nianxin in the room answer, and began to mumble in her heart, suddenly sat up from the chair, walked to the door and asked him, "You have something to say!" The pestle is like a piece of wood at the door, and I'm really anxious! ”
Yan Nianxin was like an ant on a hot pot at this time, but he didn't dare to say anything to coax her. Just because he knows that Lu Xinrui is the most undeceived, if the lie is exposed, he will ignore you for half a month, or draw his sword directly, he has suffered this all these years.
"If you don't say it, I'll find it myself!" Lu Xinrui got up and walked out as she spoke, Yan Nianxin couldn't stop her, and said truthfully: "My father-in-law saw Senior Brother Ji last night. ”
"Good! Even you coaxed me, because I am so good to you on weekdays! Lu Xinrui was so angry that she was just playing a little temper no matter how her uncle teased her on weekdays, but today's incident was deliberately deceived by her, where can she bear it!
"I, I didn't ......" Yan Nianxin was a little confused, where did he dare to deceive the little junior sister, the reason why he hesitated was that he was afraid that she would worry, and it involved the forces of the Demon Sect, the degree of danger was self-evident.
The two of them were in a stalemate, only to hear two or three monks downstairs with a thick Western cool accent, talking fiercely about a very pleasant thing that happened in Sanssouci Town this morning.
I only heard a young man in his early twenties slap the table, and said boldly with the strength of the wine: "I don't know which immortal family made it, it's really relieving!" ”
The middle-aged man at the same table with them hurriedly looked around, and was relieved to see that there was no one in the inn, so he beckoned the shopkeeper to put on a pot of sobering tea, and asked in a low voice, "Senior brother, have you seen it with your own eyes?" ”
Before the young man could reply, another young man replied excitedly, "Senior brother doesn't believe it? The whole town has seen it, can there be a fake? ”
The shopkeeper served a pot of tea for them, and when he saw that the three of them were talking lively, he couldn't help but interject: "What the three young heroes said was that Kong County Order was hung in front of the county yamen this morning?" ”
The three of them nodded in unison, and the slightly older monk pulled down the placket of the shopkeeper's shirt and said cautiously: "You also know about this?" ”
As soon as he said this, the shopkeeper nodded excitedly, raised his eyebrows and replied: "The county government is not far from here, the villain has fast legs, and he just saw the excitement, but my shopkeeper knows the whole thing best." ”
The three of them were busy greeting the shopkeeper who was settling accounts and sitting at the same table, pouring wine and tea, and the innkeeper was very gracious, and seeing that there were not many customers in the store, they no longer postponed.
He stretched out his head to look at the door, and said in a low voice: "This matter has to start from the sunset the day before yesterday, but the largest restaurant in the town is doing a business of reselling immortal weapons, forced buying and selling happens from time to time, and last night it was even blatantly snatched a diner's immortal weapon." The people in the town dare not speak out, just because there are many forces behind it, and the Kongxian Order in the town is one of them. ”
"There is such a thing!" The three of them couldn't help but be shocked, and their faces were incredible. Sanssouci Town has always had simple customs and strict governance, and such a thing has never happened.
The innkeeper sighed heavily and continued: "As the saying goes: how can you walk by the river without getting your shoes wet. The day before yesterday, the restaurant store encountered not good stubble, the store directly lost his life, and the shopkeeper was nowhere to be found, which was really unhappy! ”
The three monks were much more relaxed when they heard this, and the four of them raised their glasses and drank two glasses, and the shopkeeper continued: "Just the night before, when the people in the town applauded, this morning the Confucian County Order was tied up with five flowers, hanging high at the gate of the county office, and constantly muttering about his crimes, which is really happy!" ”
Hearing the ins and outs of this, the monks applauded with their hands: "Hahaha! It seems that this Kong Zhi County can't get mixed up, so let's wait for the Holy Sanction! ”
The four of them drank happily for a long time, and the innkeeper retired when he was still busy, and the topic of the three monks returned to the matter of Kong County's order being tied up, and the older monk said with a look of reverence: "I guess it is the Cangru faction of the Nine Tribulation Mountain, and they have helped in the injustices under the mountain over the years." I heard the shopkeeper of Fang Cai say, that person has a graceful posture and is wearing green clothes, isn't it the immortal Ji of the Cangxu faction who has come to the world again? ”
The two teenagers disagreed, and quipped: "It's been ten years, if it's really the immortal Ji of the Cangxu faction, I'm afraid it's also an old pearl, hahaha!" ”
The laughter of the three gradually became louder, alarming a wealthy middle-aged man at the next table, who stroked his smooth chin and said calmly: "This is wrong! People who cultivate immortals, where can they see the age, they can't hide it, they are old and decayed, can you see it? ”
Lu Xinrui, who was still eavesdropping on the second floor, suddenly panicked, this voice was familiar to her, this person was her father's fourth senior brother Sheng Qibai. But how could the fourth uncle be in Sanssouci Town? If you let her father know that she secretly went down the mountain, her mother's preaching is indispensable, and it will be difficult to go down the mountain again......
Lu Xinrui was thinking about how to deal with it, when the words of the little monk downstairs came into her ears again: "I really can't see it, at most forty!" ”
Those who cultivate the truth have many desires, but in the end, what they want is nothing more than to prolong their lives and stay young forever. The three monks are all outer disciples of the Infinite View of Forgetting Worries, although they worship under the Taoist first cultivation of the true immortals, but after all, they are outer disciples, and there is no master to teach them personally, and the rules and precepts of the door are not strict on weekdays, and the essence of the Taoist law will inevitably not be understood.
The elder monk stood up and asked, "What kind of exercises has Immortal Venerable cultivated?" How can you live so chicly and wantonly? ”
Sheng Qibai waved his hand, took a sip of tea, and said humbly: "Loose cultivation is not enough to worry about teeth, and it can't be called immortal!" ”
The three monks were still about to ask, but Sheng Qibai walked up to the second floor with a lot of trouble, and kept muttering: "Back then, I was fortunate that the old man had a relationship with that immortal concubine. Dressed in green clothes, he fell to the ground, his appearance was gentle and quiet, he was kind and gentle, and he had the world in mind, and he really deserved the reputation of 'peerless fairy queen'......"
Sheng Qibai walked to a guest room on the second floor and stopped, raised his hand and hesitated, but still didn't knock on the door, but his eyes stood outside the door like electricity. Yan Nianxin didn't hesitate too much, pushed the door and came out and saluted respectfully: "Uncle Sheng." ”
Sheng Qi Bai is the first seat of Qingying Peak, cultivated as the Yuanying Great Perfection, is the fourth junior brother of the head of the market, and is greedy for good wine on weekdays, and often comes down the mountain to this worry-free town to satisfy his hunger.
Yan Nianxin and Lu Xinrui are both in the realm of exorcism, where can they hide from the insight of the Yuanying realm, and he often goes down the mountain with Yan Mingxiu to practice, but he often encounters Sheng Qibai, so he doesn't have to worry too much about appearing today.
But Lu Xinrui is different, she went down the mountain privately, and she was still alone, and her guilty tone was three points lower: "Fourth uncle, don't arrest me back, okay......"
Sheng Qibai saw that Lu Xinrui was soft and admitted his mistake, and most of the anger in his heart disappeared, and he immediately returned to his usual generous and benevolent appearance, stepped into the door with an arrow, touched Lu Xinrui's head, and said softly: "Silly girl, if you don't want to go back, you won't go back, but you and this kid ......."
Sheng Qibai looked at Yan Nianxin with sharp eyebrows, his eyes were full of contempt and resentment, and the atmosphere in the room instantly froze. Lu Xinrui was about to open his mouth to explain, Yan Nianxin hurriedly retreated, he knew what he meant, hung his head and went back to his room next door without saying a word.
It is not polite for men and women to be in the same room, and it is also appropriate to be taught a lesson by the uncle, and the two juniors did not take it to heart, but this matter was secretly seen by a person hidden in the shadows, but it was not a taste in their hearts......
Yan Mingxiu subconsciously held the folding fan on his waist, looking as usual, and his heart was no longer calm: "I didn't expect this old guy to arrive, it's really troublesome!" Is Brother Wang still coming along? ”
Wang Yuanting narrowed his slender eyes and shook the Xuantie fan in his hand gently, Yan Mingxiu's words were obviously teasing people, plus the Cangxu faction had another master of the Yuan Infant Realm, this little worry-free town was really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.
He followed Yan Mingxiu for two days, only to feel that this person was unfathomable, and he knew that he was not an opponent. Although the cultivation of the two is comparable, Yan Mingxiu's cultivation is complicated, and he controls the talisman seals used by Kong County's order, and even belongs to the Demon Sect.
Weighing the pros and cons, it is not good for him to continue to bother at the moment, so it is better to go back to the Yanyue Sect first and tell the sect master.
Wang Yuanting cleared his thoughts, and immediately surrendered his hand and said: "Since Brother Yan has a tricky matter, the younger brother will no longer bother, so don't bother it!" ”
Yan Mingxiu didn't say much, he flashed away with Wang Yuanting first, and there were really a lot of things that made him do it recently......
Half an hour later, Yan Ming repaired his clothes and knocked on Lu Xinrui's door.
The door was immediately opened, and before Lu Xinrui could question, she raised her eyes and saw Yan Mingxiu's embarrassed look, and she instantly understood: "Oh! You don't take me, because you dislike me for being a low level of cultivation, right? ”
Yan Mingxiu stood with his hands in his hands, rubbing the tips of his right fingers, smiling without saying a word.
Lu Xinrui's little face was flushed, Yan Nianxin next door heard the movement and walked over, seeing Yan Mingxiu bullying Lu Xinrui again, he hurriedly said: "Little junior sister, don't worry, you and I are both triples of exorcism, how can you talk about dislike?" ”
Hearing this, Lu Xinrui's expression softened a little, and Yan Mingxiu's eyes lit up on the side: "Triple exorcism? ”
Yan Nianxin was the Great Perfection of Exorcism a few years ago, and it is not difficult to reach the Jindan stage after cultivating for a while, but how can he not rise but descend when he cultivates now?
Yan Nianxin was anxious in his heart, and hurriedly called: "Father-in-law!" ”
Yan Mingxiu immediately stopped talking, with a look of sudden realization, hooked Yan Nianxin's neck and wanted to take him out of the door.
Lu Xinrui didn't see the secret words of the two, and directly grabbed Yan Mingxiu's sleeve and asked, "Uncle, where is Senior Brother Ji?" ”
Yan Mingxiu shrugged his shoulders and replied pretending to be relaxed: "Let's go, is it possible to come back with me to see you?" ”
"Your words don't count! Hmph, I don't believe I can't find it! Lu Xinrui rushed out of the inn directly, Yan Nianxin was about to chase after him, but was stopped by Yan Mingxiu with a folding fan.
I saw him say to Yan Nianxin with a wicked smile: "Let's talk about it, you are obviously already a great consummation of exorcism, how can it be a triple exorcism?" ”
Yan Nianxin couldn't hide it, so he had to confess and beg for mercy: "I have a rune on my body that hides cultivation, please keep it secret for me, don't let Xinrui know, I beg you." ”
"Please?" Yan Mingxiu smiled bitterly, he didn't think he would say these two words in Yan Nianxin's mouth, but he didn't expect it to be for that little girl.
"It's not impossible to keep it a secret for you, but from this day forward, you have to be at my disposal." Yan Mingxiu rubbed the folding fan in his hand, and suddenly thought about it.
Yan Nianxin saw Lu Xinrui running away, and he didn't have time to think about it and replied directly: "I promise you." ”
