Pei Li was about to answer, but the door was suddenly pushed, and a girl walked in.

It was the Yi Chengxin on the stage just now, who had changed his costume at this time. When she wore makeup, Pei Ye had already guessed that she was young, but at this time, she was only sixteen or seventeen years old.

The girl's appearance is more beautiful than the makeup, the body is thin and white, and her expression is calm and quiet, just like the fairy grass and orchid in the play. Her gaze swept over the faces of Ji Yun and Pei Li, and finally stopped at the old man.

"Have you finished delivering the guests?"

The quiet temperament on the girl's body seemed to soak into the room, and the old man's voice was soft: "Sit down for a while?" ”

Yi Chengxin shook his head, looked at the old man, and made a farewell salute dignifiedly.

“.”

The girl's voice was also clear and peaceful: "Mr. has been employed for three years, and he has often been taught diligently, and he has benefited from Mingliang only when he is dull." Now stay away, never see you again, may the teacher be full of immortal blessings - poverty is immeasurable, the years are limited, don't hurt your labor. ”

The old man's face was genuinely sad, and he said softly, "When is the good day?" ”

"The day after tomorrow."

“.” The old man lowered his eyebrows and sighed lightly, "You are the most spiritual child I have ever taught, singing opera is the ability to settle down for us, but it is useless for you, you are really alone in marrying in the past, remember to change your temperament of being hot on the outside and cold on the inside, and manage your life well, so that you can be comfortable in your own place." ”

Yi Chengxin bowed again: "Opera is my true love, and I am willing to dedicate my life's work, but unfortunately the fate is inappropriate, and there is no other body, only to leave Mr.'s knees." ”

"These two days are busy with the dowry, right?"

"Yes."

"I'll go and see you off the day after tomorrow."

"Thank you, sir." The girl bowed three times and said, "Don't accept your heart." ”

The old man got up: "I'll send you off." ”

"Sir, stop."

The girl turned to look at the old man, and finally lowered her eyebrows: "My brother led me from this door to my husband back then, and today I will be separated from this door." ”

"That's fine."

The girl turned and left, and the room was silent.

Pei Ye looked at the old man's sad and Ji Yun's indignant expression, and said softly: "I just heard that Miss Yi is going to marry far away, isn't this marriage harmonious?" ”

The old man sighed softly, and Ji Yun's eyebrows were already raised: "What kind of marriage, it's obviously selling your daughter!" ”

“.”

"Over there in Xilong, a fat pig who is obsessed with flowers and willows all day long!" Ji Yun gritted his teeth and said, "I came to talk about business and fell in love with my junior sister, and since then I have been harassed every month!" Originally, the Yi family did not loosen their mouths, but recently they gave a very heavy dowry, and the Yi family relented! ”

The old man didn't care about the family affairs, and sighed softly: "Chengxin, this child is smart and has a good heart, but it seems to have two hearts. One was born on earth and the other in heaven. ”

"When I sent her, her brother told me that she had nothing to like when she was a child, and that day she liked the play, and I hope I can make her really fall in love with the obsession and joy of her singing now, but .

"I can't bear her." The old man lowered his eyebrows.

————

Pei Ye walked out of the theater with the script.

He had the intention of rummaging through the room and paying the money, but the old man was going to ask him to take it away and see it.

"Now we have something to talk about here, the theater will close for lunch." The old man sorted out a smile from his sad bosom and said softly to the young man, "You can take it for yourself first, and then we will have a good chat when we come back in the evening." ”

So Pei Ye left first, and when he came to the front of the scene, he saw the girl walking out of the door against the light, and in the dim and unmanned scene behind her, the two dragon heads were slowly walking down the stairs.

Pei Ye walked on the street of Qijiucheng, and went straight to the "Longmen Tower" in the direction that Xiaosheng pointed out before, planning to visit the "Kou Ye" first and ask for news.

Looking at the script in his hand, the details of the performance were really listed very clearly, including the scene layout and the flow of the soundtrack, but Pei Ye didn't look at this, he folded and carefully flipped through the lyrics, trying to find some clues.

In all fairness, Pei Li has read a lot of books with elegant words in the past month, and he can read the script before, but he can only read some vulgar ones, but now he can also take a look at this elegant lyrics.

After turning over two folds like this, it was no different from the performance on the stage, and suddenly a feeling of roundness and fullness came inexplicably in his abdomen, and Pei Ye was stunned and stood in place.

The "fire source" was formed.

Since that day, the black cat injected him with the last round of blood, and the black and magnificent spherical shape in his abdomen has been completely completed, attached to the bottom of the meridian tree.

However, at the time, the black cat said that it would take two days for it to be assimilated by this body, and then it would be able to move freely.

At this time, the "assimilation" has been completed, and if there is a slender blue flame growing on it, Pei Ye felt the sudden extra thing in his body that could be controlled, and his consciousness fell down the depths, and he really felt three different sources.

The black cat explained to him in detail on the horse that day, and Pei Ye felt that he could copy it down and make a copy of "Black Cat Fire", and he wrote Pei Ye under his signature.

It says that all the fires in the world are divided into five categories, which are material fire, qi fire, Xuan fire, heart fire, and Dao fire.

The evidence of its division is the burning of the thing, the "fire of the matter" is the burning of the real thing, the "fire of qi" is the burning of the true qi and the like, and the "Xuanhuo" is the support of the spirit of heaven and earth. As for the two categories of mind and path, it can probably be explained in this way, but its subtleties are difficult to explain in one or two.

Most of the first three types of fire are confined to their own belongings, that is, things are things, qi is qi, and xuan is mysterious. Only a few of these supernatural flames have the "Dao" qualifications, which can connect with other types and achieve the legendary "Dao Fire".

As for the "heart fire", there are all "Tao" resources.

In this way, the black mantis pointed out to him the end of the world's fire path - physical fire, qi fire, Xuanhuo, and heart fire, and mastering the four types of Dao resources and wonderful flames, then the fire of the world is all under his hands, because he can ascend the Dao ladder and take charge of the [Dao Fire].

[Flame of the Channel] is the legendary "Passage Flame".

And if you don't consider these higher paths for the time being, as the immortal fire obtained by the immortal hunting contract, only the development and use of the [fire] itself is already a science.

According to the black cat, there are three characteristics of [Fire].

First, the fire is the best spiritual fire in the world.

Second, the fire is visible, but it has no temperature of its own, and is not perceived by anything other than line of sight.

Thirdly, the fire can swallow other fires that have no "Dao Resources", obtain their characteristics, and complete their own growth.

When Pei Li heard this, he immediately recalled the blue flames used by the Candle World Sect, and the difference between them and the blue flames used by the black mantis turned out to be in the third point.

The support when the fire is burning is the Heaven and Earth Lingxuan, and this one in Pei Li's abdomen is more special, and its sources are three, and they are also the three places that Pei Li's consciousness touched when he went deep just now.

First, the source of the mantis fire was originally born of the essence and blood of the gods, and it itself has the ability to absorb the reserve of Xuan Qi, and the most direct source of Xuan Qi when the mantis fire burns is here. And this fire source is symbiotic with the black mantle, and as the black mantis grows, its ability to reserve and absorb Xuan Qi will also grow simultaneously.

Pei Ye felt it, the black cat's real body at this time will be a hundred catties, and the Xuan Qi in his body is just equivalent to the true qi of the meridian tree's life, and this fire source is also equivalent to it.

However, Xuan Qi and True Qi are two fundamentally different energies, and in the meridian tree stage, the "Imperial Envoy Xuan Qi" itself is an ability that transcends the current realm level, no matter how small, it is enough to make the opponent helpless.

Second, under the same fate and prosperity, the source of the fire can actually be regarded as an "organ" shared by Pei Ye and the black mantle, and it grows in the bodies of both parties at the same time, and Pei Ye can borrow the Xuan Qi in the black mantle's body to supply the fire through this connection.

The above one and two are like two pools that are interconnected.

The third is Pei Li's own unique channel.

Through the absorption of the outside world's mysterious qi by the "endowment" in the abdomen, the fire source attached to it can be borrowed and not repaid, but this passage can only support some continuous burning, and cannot complete the explosion after saving.

At this time, the black cat also sensed the formation of the fire source, and its calm voice was already heard in its abdomen: "[Flame of the Spirit', every time it devours a flame, its characteristics will accumulate or merge, and the spirit and temperature will be superimposed. When the spirit reaches the Ming Xuan and the heat reaches the Yang Zhen, it can decompose all things, and it should be the natural enemy of all Xuan arrays, magic weapons, and spiritual arts. ”

"What is 'Ming Xuan' and 'Yang Zhen'?"

"Go and read the Soul and the Fire Scripture."

"Oh."

"Let's pick a mortal fire first-Reda 'leaves', and the spirit peeps into 'breaking the ordinary', and your fire will be regarded as stepping into the threshold."

Pei Ye put together the script, and at this time he had arrived in front of the Longmen Tower in the middle of Qijiu City.

There are six floors high, wide gate compound, powerful and profound, it is the person in charge of Erli Qijiu City lives, and pedestrians on the road are subconsciously avoided when they pass by.

At this time, the sky had just turned yellow, and the candle in front of the door had been lit, Pei Ye stretched out his hand and stroked the fireworks, the light and shade flashed, and when he took it back, he had made a fist salute to the nursing courtyard that it seemed.

said with a smile: "The kid is abrupt, he has heard of his prestige for a long time, and if he wants to visit Master Kou, please make it convenient." ”

——

In the Bixiao Pavilion, the black cat stretched out lightly and returned to the table.

There was no one in the room, and the tea was brewed for a while, and the girl still came early, waiting for the big shopkeeper to finish.

She looked at the kitten cautiously and curiously, but she still didn't understand the meaning of Pei Li's words "can speak".

Now she knows that the boy is full of magical things, and this inseparable kitten must have its peculiarities, but the girl looked left and right along the way, except for the refined temperament and jade black beauty, she really didn't see more differences.

This cat seems to be quite spiritual, is it well-trained to be able to deliver the letter back to its owner?

But it's only so small, and it's only a month or two old, so you have to start training from a young age

Blame the pitiful.

Li Yiqing leaned over to the table with her cheeks propped up, stretched out a finger, and gently poked its soft ass.

The black cat was motionless.

But the girl was a little pleased—it used to be avoided.

I couldn't help but poke it lightly again.

Then the black cat raised a pair of clear blue eyes and looked at her quietly: "Is there something wrong with you?" ”

“.”

“.”

"Ahh

The black cat had regained its head.

Li Yiqing stared straight at the cat, and the whole person seemed to be frozen. It wasn't until the front door was suddenly pushed open that she came back to her senses, glanced at the kitten again, and then turned her head to look at the person.

is not a big shopkeeper, but a new guest, a beautiful girl in her twenties, eyebrows dyed Zhu Hua, thin and fair, and quiet temperament.

Li Yiqing temporarily put down the "monster" thing just now, and looked at the girl, but she was stunned.

It wasn't until the other party came to him that he couldn't help but open his eyes and said, "This young lady. But was the White Snake Dan on the stage just now? ”

Yi Chengxin looked at her and nodded with a smile: "Sister is wise, I don't want to be so coincidental." ”

The voice is as clear and beautiful as on stage.

Li Yiqing suddenly smiled, she has a clear temperament in martial arts since she was a child, and she has always felt close to and loved a gentle and quiet woman, not to mention that the person in front of her is of the same age, sings well, and has a good temperament, and the girl has not met such a suitable peer for a long time.

"Is my sister here to talk about the costume business?" Li Yiqing looked at her happily.

"No, it's a dowry ceremony." Yi Chengxin smiled.

"Ah, whose dowry?"

"Mine." Yi Chengxin smiled softly, "I will marry Xilong the day after tomorrow, and in the future, I will stop singing." ”

“.”

At this moment, the big shopkeeper walked out of the inner room with a book, saluted Li Yiqing, but did not say anything to Yi Chengxin, and walked straight over.

The two whispered to each other, and Yi Chengxin nodded and thanked him and took the account book. But she didn't leave, but walked to the inner room under Li Yiqing's surprised gaze.

There were only two people left in the hall.

This big shopkeeper has the appearance of a big shopkeeper, with a wide face and body, and he is kind and credible when he looks at it, and he speaks lightly and steadily, so every sentence has more weight.

"Bowang distinguished guests are really rare." The big shopkeeper smiled and arched his hand, "The young head of the family is here for Peng, but if there is a need, Qi Yun is willing to do his best." ”

Li Yiqing hurriedly returned the salute: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I'm here with the big shopkeeper - there are nobles in the state who love it, and Miaoqing just wants to buy a few paintings." ”

"Oh? What kind of brush actually alarmed the distinguished guests of Youzhou? The big shopkeeper raised his eyebrows in surprise, "It's that I'm covering the dust now, but I don't know which magic pen has become famous in recent years." ”

Li Yiqing smiled: "It's not the fault of the big shopkeeper - to know this person, you have to count thirty years forward." ”

The big shopkeeper tilted his head and showed a slight look: "That must be."

"It is a famous master in Guizhou, a master of the West who has already gone immortal."

But the big shopkeeper was embarrassed and smiled: "It's really not that I cherish myself, but in the past few years, the painting of Western Tianzhi has suddenly become famous, and there are many people who want it. ”

Li Yiqing's original intention was not to ask for paintings, and he showed a regretful look when he heard this: "I don't know if there are other posthumous brushes of Western masters, I heard that the master's paintings were sold under your Chamber of Commerce, and some anecdotes are good." ”

The big shopkeeper thought for a moment: "Ten years ago, we compiled and printed a volume of "Biography of Western Painters."

"I've seen it." Li Yiqing smiled.

Zihuang did show them this thin volume, which was full of introductions to the achievements of Western Tianhua Dao, and did not explain anything about his life and death.

It is precisely because the Qiyun Chamber of Commerce was able to publish such a booklet twenty years later, that a few people believed that it actually hid more things about Western Tian, most of which were related to the owner behind it.

"What the young master wants."

Li Yiqing showed a curious look: "I heard about the 'Scroll of Immortals'."

The big shopkeeper raised his head and smiled, and interrupted: "Young master, I have only been in the Qiyun Chamber of Commerce for eighteen years, and this is really helpless." ”

Li Yiqing did not give up: "Then I wonder if the big shopkeeper can introduce you to your boss for me?" ”

The big shopkeeper smiled: "I'm very sorry, the owner is inconvenient to see customers these days." ”

Li Yiqing suddenly thought about it and asked, "By the way, I don't know who your owner is."

"I don't want to tell you."

Li Yiqing smiled and nodded: "It's me who is abrupt - then I wonder if I can wait for the news of the painting in your pavilion for two days?" ”

"It's an honor!"

The girl thanked her, and glanced at the backyard in the tearoom.

In fact, she didn't expect this chamber of commerce to really confide in her.

After the post was submitted, the identity of Li Yiqing, the head of Cuiyu Shao, must have done enough to understand that when Qi Yun was expanding to Bowang, Dingyun was also extending to Xiangzhou, and behind it, there was a faint shadow of Cuiyu.

Li Yiqing asked Zhang Dingyun where the account books would usually be placed, and he also knew that a big chamber of commerce like Qi Yun would definitely keep the transaction records of thirty years ago very well.

It's already getting a little dark.
