Chapter 110: I, Zhu Qingyi, am going to do the right thing for the sky
After purchasing a lot of ingredients, spices and tools, Su Luoxue and Zhu Qingyi came to the shop where they first made the automatic staircase.
Before entering the door, Su Luoxue felt a withering breath, there was originally a stone lion outside the house, it was bright and tidy last time, but now it is full of dust, and it has obviously not been cleaned up for a long time.
When I came to the house, the layout was no different from the previous few times, but the high shopkeeper who greeted him warmly and smiled every time did not come out.
After a few soft shouts, out of the back room came an old man with gray hair and a stiff body, who looked like he was about to die, but he was the high-spirited shopkeeper he had been.
"Is there anything you need to build?" The shopkeeper Gao's voice was very tired, but after seeing Zhu Qingyi, some light flashed in his eyes.
"It turned out to be you, didn't that Su Xiaoyou come?"
Su Luoxue raised her hand, "Shopkeeper Gao, I am Su Luoxue." ”
"Hey, how did you get so small?" The shopkeeper Gao showed a rare smile, and wanted to reach out and touch Su Luoxue's head, but he didn't dare in the end.
"It's complicated."
"Immortal affairs are always complicated, I haven't seen you for more than two years, and I thought you stayed in that world too." The tone of what the shopkeeper said did not fluctuate, but his sadness could still be seen.
Su Luoxue remembered that the child of the shopkeeper was a very clean boy, but he didn't expect that he also went to the secret realm, but he couldn't come back.
At this time, I don't know what to say, and in the past two years, the shopkeeper has aged like this, and I know that he has not yet come out of the pain of losing his son.
"I've come up with something new this time."
"It doesn't matter, if there's one thing that keeps me going right now, it's to create beautiful objects."
Su Luoxue took out a few drawings, all of which were things that were convenient for daily activities.
Shopkeeper Gao looked at the drawings for a long time, and suddenly looked at Su Luoxue, "Do you want to learn these tricks from me?" ”
"I can see that you are very interested in Karakuri, and you always have strange ideas, and your talent in this area should not be low."
"I've lived most of my life, and I'm going to be buried soon, so I always want to leave something behind, and the craftsmanship passed down from my ancestors must be passed on."
Su Luoxue was really flattered, she didn't expect the shopkeeper Gao to say these words at all, secular crafts are basically inherited by blood, and they can rarely be taught to people with foreign surnames.
Therefore, people with foreign surnames need to go through at least a year of testing, serving tea and pouring water to treat the elderly as their own father, after three bows and nine knocks, although there is no need to change the surname, but also to call a "master" to express filial piety, and to provide for the elderly in the future.
It is very cumbersome, which is equivalent to the master recognizing a child and teaching everything to the apprentice.
This is different from the predecessors of the immortal cultivation world, so Su Luoxue will call Xuan Lao as the master.
After all, it is likely that the master will live longer than the apprentice, and he will not need to provide for the elderly at all.
Su Luoxue did not hesitate, nodded and agreed, and then prepared to perform a secular apprenticeship, but was stopped by the high shopkeeper.
"There is no need for this, it is my blessing to be able to teach an immortal cultivator, and this is different from apprenticeship, it is I who asked Su Xiaoyou to pass on this craft, which is delaying your cultivation time."
That being said, Su Luoxue is not a merciless person, and in the end she still performed the ceremony of apprenticeship, just like worshipping Xuan Lao after entering the Lingzhi Hall.
Moreover, Su Luoxue was not short of time.
After the agreement, she came to the store every afternoon to study, and Su Luoxue said goodbye and prepared to rent a carriage to facilitate commuting.
Zhu Qingyi now has her own tasks to perform, and there is no way to pick up and drop off back and forth. Su Luoxue can't fly by herself, so she can only rent a car.
Along the way, Zhu Qingyi was in a relatively low mood, almost didn't speak, and the tall shopkeeper reminded Zhu Qingyi of her mother, who hadn't seen her for five years, and didn't know if her mother was doing well now.
"Homesick?"
Zhu Qingyi nodded.
"Then you can go back and see, the sect allows disciples to go home."
"Still not, wait until I get to the Jindan period and then go back, then it's good to show off in front of them." Zhu Qingyi squeezed out a little smile, "I've never heard Luo Xue talk about your parents." ”
"They are not special, they are just the most ordinary existence in the world, they are busy every day, and they hope that I will grow up happily and happily. There are expectations for me, but they never push me. ”
"My parents don't have too many regrets before they die, so they go to bed at the end of their lives. So now where I'm is my home, and I'm alone. ”
"Ah, sorry, I don't know." Zhu Qingyi was very guilty, but she didn't expect her parents to be gone.
"What is there to apologize for, I miss them, but birth, old age, sickness and death are difficult to hinder, and living with the hobbies of parents is the most important thing."
"By the way, have you noticed that someone is following us behind you?" Su Luoxue said in a low voice.
"Uh, I didn't notice, where is it?"
"Don't move, just don't keep walking." Su Luoxue informed Zhu Qingyi of the location of those people, "I have a feeling that these people seem to be coming for you?" ”
"It's impossible, I'm not a child, I'm definitely here for you."
Zhu Qingyi added, "Do you want to run away directly?" ”
"What are you afraid of, you are a monk in the late stage of foundation building, and it is not easy to deal with a few mortals! And there are many people in the city, and it will be enough to shout when the time comes. ”
"Roar." Zhu Qingyi suddenly realized that she and Su Luoxue deliberately walked into a small alley with no one to lure these people out.
Sure enough, these were the people who had clashed with those monks.
Zhu Qingyi held the short sword in his hand, "Who are you and why are you sneaking behind us." ”
"Joke, the road goes to one side, you say we follow, is there any evidence?"
"Hmph, now this kind of scene is the proof!"
"If passing by is also evidence, if you are threatening us with a short sword now, can it also be counted as evidence that you want to kill us?"
"You!" Zhu Qingyi gritted her teeth, this group of people is too scoundrel.
There are a total of five people blocking the mouth of the alley, all of whom have worldly kung fu on their bodies, but there are no aura fluctuations, and they are still mortals.
It was still very easy to fight five mortals in the later stage of foundation building, but Zhu Qingyi couldn't make an easy move now.
Wuli City prohibits immortal cultivators from attacking mortals for no reason.
Five people are blocking the door and can't fight back?
In fact, they didn't block it, but they were hanging out outside, and they didn't have weapons in their hands, and they were even talking about the fact that the house was good, and they could consider buying it, and some people took out a map to mark it.
"Don't go too far, do you really think I don't dare to make a move?"
"We're just looking for a suitable house to buy and live in, and it's not in the way, you can go as you want. Why do you threaten me and wait, if you do this again, I will report to the City Lord's Mansion! ”
Zhu Qingyi is completely crazy!
Never seen such a brazen person.
Today, I, Zhu Qingyi, am going to do the right thing for heaven and teach this group of gangsters a good lesson!
This is the first time Su Luoxue has seen Zhu Qingyi make a move, and her every move shows her elegant temperament.
Although the short sword is not unsheathed, with the blessing of spiritual power, it still hurts to hit mortals.
Those few people have changed from being dismissive at the beginning to now lying on the ground and begging for mercy in a low voice, focusing on a timely change of mentality.
The fighting methods of immortal cultivators are roughly divided into two types, in the early stage, the aura is blessed on secular martial arts, and in the later stage, when the aura is abundant, they will exert magical powers, such as against waves.
Purely in terms of martial arts, most secular people are actually superior, after all, it is necessary for them to walk the rivers and lakes, and immortal cultivators are just transitioning.
But it can't stand the support of aura.
"Immortal cultivator, you are actually an immortal cultivator, help, immortal cultivators have beaten mortals, and there is no heavenly reason."
"Immortal Master spare our lives, we are just ordinary businessmen, we are really just passing by and want to buy a house, why do you suddenly do it to us!"
Zhu Qingyi dragged the five people together, took out the rope and tied them up, "Shut up, you sneakily came to this remote place, naturally thinking about taking the opportunity to do bad things, and thinking that someone would save you, honestly, why did you follow us!" ”
"If I don't say it, I'll really draw my sword!"
The first shot was a big victory, Zhu Qingyi was a little excited now, sure enough, this immortal did not cultivate in vain.
"I really drew my sword!"
Sou~
Zhu Qingyi pulled out the short sword in his hand and put it on a person's neck.
"Oops, cool!"
This short sword Su Luoxue has played with it, it is indeed made of extraordinary material, it is born with a cold air, it is not obvious when it is in the scabbard, and it will be very cold once it is unsheathed.
"Miss, we are just scaring you on the orders of the master, we are wrong!"
"Hmph, who is your master, why did you send you to scare me!"
? Not only those five people, but even Su Luoxue was a little stunned.
"Qingyi, is there a possibility, the master in their mouth is your father." Su Luoxue reminded on the side.
"My dad?" Zhu Qingyi was a little surprised, and then reached out and searched out a jade pendant from the waist of the person next to him, "It's really my family's identity card, but it can't be ruled out that you killed my family's people and deliberately approached me!" ”
"Miss, I have a letter from the lord on me, you can take it and take a look!"
Sure enough, a letter was found from the man's arms, "Hey, it's really my father's handwriting, but it still needs to be verified." ”
Zhu Qingyi shone the letter into the sunlight for a while, and then asked Su Luoxue to help create a dim environment.
One corner of the letter was faintly fluorescent.
"Well, really. I'm sorry I'm sorry I beat you up. Zhu Qingyi hurriedly loosened the ties to these people, "But if you send a letter, you will send a letter, why do you want to scare me?" ”
"Miss, the master said, I haven't come home for more than five years to see if I forgot his father! A few of you send letters pretending to be bad guys to scare Miss, let her know that there is a lot of danger outside, so that she can go home with peace of mind. ”
"It's just that the master shouldn't have expected that the current young lady is so powerful!"
"yes, three punches and two kicks knocked us down."
The five of them immediately changed from their original appearance of being angry to respectful.
Zhu Qingyi opened the letter and read it carefully, her face changed slightly, "My father is sick?" ”
"Yes, I'm very sick, and I can't get out of bed during this time, so I asked a few of us to hurry over to deliver a letter to Miss."
"What disease, is it so serious?"
Those five people, you look at me, I look at you, I think about it for a long time, I don't know what the disease is.
"It's just sick, and I didn't even see Lang Zhong."
"Yes, it's very serious, Miss hurry up and go back with us. It should be a sickness, and you will be fine when you go back! ”
pretending to be sick and tricking Zhu Qingyi to go back, everyone can see this.
Zhu Qingyi naturally won't be deceived, but it's true that she hasn't been back for too long, and she touched the scene in the shopkeeper store before, so she still plans to go home to have a look.
"Luo Xue, I'm going to go home, do you want to go back with me too!"
"Okay, just let me see your mine!" It's just that as soon as she finished speaking, Su Luoxue frowned, "It doesn't seem to be okay, I haven't built a foundation yet, and the sect doesn't approve long vacations." And I have promised the high shopkeeper, and I can't leave it in the short term. ”
"Then next time, there's still a chance anyway!"
"That's all there is to it, when you build the foundation, let's go back to my house, please eat my special food!"
Zhu Qingyi looked at the five people, "You go to the Jade Pavilion and wait for me first, I will go back to the sect to register and pack my luggage first, and I will come to you later." ”
"Let's go back to the sect too, Luo Xue, give me those pastries you made, I'll take them back, hehe, go home!"
The two happily flew back to the sect.
In the dark, the three of them were together, only occasionally flashing a little light.
"That's it, I thought there was something good to see."
"I said I didn't need to come with me, you don't believe it, it's okay now, I didn't look at anything, and I wasted so much time."
"It's not in vain, at least I found the same kind, but I don't know which of those two is."
"Forget it, let's get on with business."
That night, Zhu Qingyi left the sect in a hurry to go home, took a lot of snacks and some pickled skewers from Su Luoxue, and prepared to take them home for his father, aunt and brother to taste.
Then Su Luoxue's life became busy, getting up early to clean up the courtyard, then sitting in the spiritual field to practice, and after lunch, she went to the shopkeeper to learn the art of cunning.
Life is busy and fulfilling.
Karakuri is generally referred to as high-level carpentry, but it is not limited to everyday life.
The shopkeeper Gao has a book that catches up with Su Luoxuegao, which records the techniques passed down from generation to generation of the Gao family.
The first ancestor was a hunter, so the objects made were all kinds of traps and the like, and the third generation ancestor had led the troops to fight, so the main record was a variety of weapons.
The five generations of ancestors are more fond of studying things that can fly in the sky, and all the enlightenment in their lives is related to wings.
In the generation of the high shopkeeper, because he lived in Wulicheng, he concentrated more on large buildings such as house construction.
His deceased son left behind some thoughts about Karakuri and puppets.
The shopkeeper of this book did not hesitate at all, and moved it out directly when Su Luoxue went to the store the next day, which shocked Su Luoxue for a while.
First sighed at the richness of the inheritance of several generations, and then sighed at the generous teaching of the high shopkeeper.
However, everything has to start from the basics, Su Luoxue needs to follow the shopkeeper Gao to start from understanding and outlining the drawings, and then the basic material selection, finalization and production.
Every day when she returned to the Spirit Plantation Hall, Su Luoxue would feel physically and mentally exhausted, she thought that this kind of thing was very simple, but it was actually troublesome and laborious to operate.
Boiling hot water and taking a bath is the most enjoyable part of Su Luoxue's day, she doesn't have to do anything, she just lies in the bathtub beautifully.
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed, and with the help of the ghost grass, Su Luoxue's soul finally fits perfectly with her body, and there will never be a situation where her reaction is half a beat slow or her body is sometimes numb in the future.
Just when Su Luoxue was sitting happily in the field, there was a sudden jingling sound in the distance, and when she looked up, it turned out to be two chains flying in the air.
