Chapter 1: Goodbye Kiyosu
Qingzhou City is more prosperous than remembered. Walking on the lively and noisy street, who would have thought that there was a big monster living in the adjacent Cheongju Lake.
The master said that my cultivation has encountered a bottleneck, and I need to clear my inner demons before I can make progress on the way to cultivating immortals. The demon in my heart is in the Qingzhou Lake. Ten years ago, the big monster that lived in the lake made me an orphan without a father or mother overnight.
It seems to have started 10 years ago.
At that time, I was still a little girl who would only be spoiled in my father's arms. That day, I was angry with my mother. Because I secretly changed the roast duck to the party she intended to leave to me as a dowry. I still remember the taste of the roast duck, the aroma is tangy, fat but not greasy, and our family of three is rarely full of appetite.
But I did something wrong after all.
A-Niang was angry, sat alone in the room, and did embroidery work with that little bit of faint light. Daddy went to the field to dig some sweet potatoes and set up firewood behind the house. It's the same dinner again, roasted sweet potatoes. I sat on the tree stand in front of the house, smelling the sweet potatoes and staring at the lake, thinking about the deliciousness of the fish in the lake. The delicious taste I can think of is like roast duck.
Our family never eats fish. Because we live on the shores of Cheongju Lake. My father and mother said that there are gods guarding the lake, and the things in the lake cannot be killed or eaten. But I often see people in Qingzhou City going out to the lake and fishing nets one by one. I also saw people holding a long pole by the lake and sitting for a long time. I know that they eat fish, shrimp and crabs from the lake, and I heard that the taste is very delicious.
Our family never ate anything from the lake, and I thought we were blessed by the gods.
However, I shouldn't have been angry with A-Niang on that day. It was the last day we had together as a family of three. A sudden wave of water wets Daddy's firewood. Immediately after that, Daddy suddenly picked me up, and Auntie also came out of the house, and then, there were waves in the sky.
When I woke up, it was raining lightly. I turned my head and saw Daddy, his arms that could hold me all day were broken. Daddy turned his head to me, his face pale and smiling. I ran over and hugged him and shook him, but he was so cold all the time. I also found my mother, who was lying in a puddle. I turned her over and found that she, like Daddy, would never give me warmth again.
I dug a big pit and buried them. When I fainted from exhaustion or cried, I fell into the arms of my master.
The master is an immortal, I thought so at first. Later, I learned that people like him who can soar through the clouds and fog are only people, they are masters, and the world is called a person who cultivates immortals. Since then, I have been practicing spells with the master until I hit the bottleneck that the master said.
The lake is not inhabited by gods, but by a monster. The master said that he had investigated for me, and the tidal wave that was praised by the world ten years ago destroyed the city wall of Qingzhou, and it was the evil fire sent by the monster. It is said that one of his juniors was captured alive and cooked.
What does this have to do with me and Daddy and Auntie? It turns out that if you live close to the "gods", you may not necessarily be blessed by them, and you may inexplicably suffer from other people's fish ponds.
I chose a place far away from my home to go to Qingzhou Lake, if I want to say why, it may be the cowardice of the hometown. I really didn't dare to go to the place where there used to be a thatched house, I was afraid that I would feel sad or angry. Immortal cultivators, cultivating the heart, the heart should be like a mirror, and the road of evidence. However, the master also said that I was still young and couldn't do such a profound appearance, so I did my best.
At the bottom of the lake, I saw a palace that looked like the legendary Crystal Palace. Could it be that this monster is a dragon king? I was dazzled by the bright and dazzling palace, and I didn't notice that there was not a trace of shrimp soldiers and crabs around. I entered the palace and marveled at the luxury. Dazzling coral reefs and jasper-lined walkways, this is really a master who will enjoy. I think we were your neighbors, only a thatched hut.
This damn neighbor!
I'm not saying he's damned richer than we are, but I just came in to visit him and he slammed a knife at my neck.
"Who are you?"
The voice is very good, and if I were a girl who didn't know anything about the world, I would be fascinated by it. Isn't what monsters are used to seducing people's hearts, and his cultivation at this point is really not bad. I accidentally wandered my mind. I didn't hear my answer, but the blade around my neck came closer, and the cool air swished into my flesh, I guess a sword.
"I'm here to kill you!" I walked away from the man's sword a moment before I spoke, and slapped him in the chest by the way, using eighty percent of my strength. The talisman drawn by the master can't be untied by ordinary people, let alone an injured one. Oh, how did I know he was hurt. Because I felt a slight tremor as the sword against my throat pressed against my skin, it was supposed to be weakness in my wrist, and I thought it was a wound on my body.
I guessed half right. It's a wounded one, but he's not as good at seducing people as I thought. He has a charming voice, bright and deep eyes, but a plain face.
We're already on edge. But at this moment, a guy with a bloody body and a fishtail appeared. The Qingzhou fish monster that the master said is a mermaid or a handsome and extraordinary male mermaid.
Am I getting something wrong.
I think I mistook the wrong person, no, the wrong neighbor.
"You harmful goblin, Dao Ye is here, don't be caught soon. I said as I drew my sword and stabbed at the merfolk, right in the heart.
But it hurts so much in my body.
My eyes were shining, and I was hit by a sword in the back.
Alas, blame me for talking too much. The man behind him must have heard that I was going to kill him and stabbed me. The one in front of him refused to be caught, and exploded categorically. I fainted.
When I woke up again, it was in a very comfortable room.
"You're awake. ”
I looked over to see the man who didn't look good, but had a nice voice. I subconsciously looked at my body. Fortunately, the master's body change spell is quite reliable, and now he is still dressed as a man. In this way, it is impossible for a man or a woman to change my clothes to take advantage.
"Are you?" I tactfully inquired about his origins.
"Chiba Gate, in the clouds. ”
It's really confusing to speak, one is good, and the other is very short.
"Bai Hua. "I learned from him, and I reported my home very simply.
Then it's time to apologize to each other and tell each other why they were there, or should he tell me what happened after I fainted.
None of that happened, he just dropped my bags down and left.
Yes, he is gone.
For the next few days, I couldn't get out of bed because of a serious injury, and I was taken care of by the innkeeper's daughter every day. It is said that the uncle Yunli personally instructed him.
When I was finally able to get out of bed and walk around, I hurried to the innkeeper to settle the bill with him. You know, I live in the No. 1 room of Tianzi, and I use the boss's daughter as a maidservant, which is distressing when I think about it.
"Oh, Tianzi No. 1 room, Yun Gongzi left a gold ingot, and it hasn't been used up yet, you have to settle the bill?"
In these years, rich people can't be so low-key. In line with the principle that money is not easy to come by and should be cherished, I resolutely quit the house, took the final payment, carried my bags, and prepared to go outside Qingzhou City.
The moment I walked out of the inn, I heard the boss mutter, "It's a girl when I open the room, and it's a son who pays the bill." The way of this world, alas. ”
Alas, in this world, rich people will hide their coquettishness in their golden houses. That girl, don't blame me for occupying the magpie's nest, it was your good friend who beat me to a serious injury, this is his responsibility. However, immortal cultivators also have lustful thoughts?
I came to the shore of Qingzhou Lake outside Qingzhou City. There is a lonely grave here. A green vine grew on the grave of Daddy and Auntie, wrapped around several morning glories. It looks good, I can't accompany you, so let this flower accompany you.
Daddy often said that I was born with a flower fairy. On the day I was born, a small white flower bloomed from the dead tree in front of the hut. Daddy said it was like a pear blossom and a plum blossom. And I, the daughter of Daddy Bai, was called Bai Xiaohua. Because, white pear or white plum are not appropriate, only the name "white flower" is in line with the appearance of the white flower in Daddy's heart.
Originally, I thought it was a gimmick made up by Daddy for his unartistic name. But the master said that I was a fairy, maybe Daddy was right.
In fact, whether Daddy lied to me or not, I wouldn't blame him for giving me such a name.
I brought a roast duck for my parents. It's just that, since that day, I don't eat roast duck again.
