When I returned to my deserted house, the moon was shining like water at night. I sat cross-legged in front of the steps and began my long practice of purification.

Shun Jing is an immortal, if you want to stand side by side with him, at least, I can't have demonic energy.

For this reason, I silently endured every lonely and melancholy full moon night, insisting on absorbing and breathing out the essence of the sun and the moon, so as to cleanse the turbid demonic energy accumulated in my body for more than 100 years.

Day after day, month after month.

The demonic aura I was contaminated with in the Purple Bamboo Forest began to slowly weaken.

The only thing that has not made progress is the matter of shaking the hexagram, which is always signed.

The years passed, without a trace, and in the blink of an eye, autumn went to winter, and the cold wind was cold.

The fish in the marriage river gradually stopped being gluttonous, so that the difficulty of my fishing increased exponentially.

On this day, I sat on the side of the street with a skinny little crucian carp that I had finally caught.

The streets were sparsely populated, and there were long queues in the past, and people who came to exchange money for fish with me seemed to not come.

Usually, my fish sells quickly, so I don't sit on the side of the street for a long time.

Today, seeing me sitting around for a long time, the grandmother who sells lanterns couldn't help but talk to me.

"Girl, you can't sell the fish. ”

I was very sad and nodded: "Why didn't they come to buy it?"

Grandma smiled with wrinkles on her face: "Because you used to sell ten articles in one article, everyone rushed to take advantage." Now there is no advantage to take advantage of, so naturally no one comes. ”

"Oh, I see. I was very depressed: "Now the fish in the river are not easy to catch, so where can I get a copper coin today?" ”

"Girl, you come to sell fish every day, and you only need a penny. What the hell are you going to do with that penny?" Grandma asked curiously.

I sighed: "The warlock outside the Yuelao Temple, he set up a divination stall and collected a copper plate from me. I just want to ask for a sign with my sweetheart. ”

Grandma smiled brightly, took out a copper plate from her arms, and handed it to me tremblingly: "Take it." ”

"No, I can't. Your money from selling lanterns is very hard, and I can't ask for your money. I waved my hand and refused.

Grandma shoved the copper plate into my hand and comforted: "Just treat it as a loan, and when you have money, you will pay me back." Silly girl, hurry up and pray for yourself and your sweetheart. ”

I looked at the old woman with a sour nose, trying to keep a fresh record of her weather-beaten face.

This is the first person I met in Yanbo Hongchen who really helped me.

After much thanks, I held the copper plate and was about to set off to find the Warlock.

A weak woman appeared in the street, covered in blood, with her eyes open and her arms outstretched, running forward desperately.

There weren't many people in the street, but the woman kept running into the roadside vendors, fell to the ground, and then got up in terror and kept running.

I looked behind the woman, and several big men were chasing her.

I was about to come to the rescue, but the old woman on the side grabbed me and persuaded: "Girl, don't go over, the men in the back are all strong men in Yihong Courtyard." Be careful that you can't save people and get caught yourself. ”

I let go of the old woman's hand and patted her gently, reassuring her, "I'll be fine." ”

Seeing that the weak woman had fallen into the small road pit again, I hurriedly stepped forward to help her up.

"Girl, are you alright?"

The weak woman stood up, thanked me softly, and was about to run. But it was too late, and a few big men surrounded me and the woman.

"Why, you still want to run? You fell off the cliff, if it weren't for the bustard who met you by chance and came back to pay for your medical expenses, you thought you would still be alive? If you don't have any money, you will be killed! You don't understand this truth! You dare to run! Be careful to bring it back and your leg will be broken!" said a biao man viciously.

The weak woman cried so much that the pear blossoms brought rain, and said sadly: "I am bent on death, why do you want to save me! I will not go back with you if I die!"

Biao Han smiled coldly, and said with a trembling face: "Why did you save you? Isn't it just because you have a certain amount of grace to save you, who knows that you are actually blind! This is a loss-making business, and if you run away again, we will lose a lot!"

Following the man's words, I reached out and shook it in front of the woman's eyes, only to realize that her eyes could not focus.

However, this girl looks like a watery melon seed face, willow eyebrows and almond eyes, and the appearance of a small jasper.

I stepped forward and grabbed the girl to hide behind me, blocking the front of the biao man: "How much does she owe you?"

Without saying a word, the man held out a finger at me.

"I've got it!" I spread my palms and handed the money out.

Biao Han was speechless, his eyelids did not lift, and he threw down a sentence: "It's a thousand taels!"

"Wow! Did you give her Tianshan Xuezhi or Yaochi Blood Lotus? It actually cost a thousand taels!" I couldn't help but sigh.

"We want you to take care of what we give her to eat! I don't have the money to pay it back for her, so get out of the way! She sells herself and is justified!"

As soon as the man pushed me away, he stepped forward and dragged the girl. The girl wept profusely and refused to leave.

I really wanted to go up and beat those guys, but I remembered Luo Bufan's warning, don't let me cause trouble in Hongchen, otherwise they will drive me away.

I endured and endured in my heart, and finally came up with a way to say, "Wait a minute, let her go." I'll pay her back, and I'll follow you Yihongyuan. ”

A few of the men stopped pulling, turned around, looked at me, and looked up and down in unison.

"Are you willing to sell your life for her?" Biao Han looked at me incredulously.

Cold sweat broke out on my forehead, and I was very anxious. What does this mean by selling yourself, whatever, you should talk about it first.

I nodded solemnly.

A few biao men laughed: "Take a blind man and exchange it for a mortal immortal! This is a good deal! Girl, come with us, please." ”

"Wait for me for a minute, and I'll go back with you right away. ”

I made a temporary request, but the man was very polite to me and quickly agreed.

I walked up to the girl and whispered a few words of condolence, "Are you alright?"

The girl wiped away her snot and tears, and looked at me faintly, of course, she couldn't really see me, but turned her head to me, and said with great gratitude: "Thank you, girl, for coming to the rescue, dare to ask the girl's name?"

I didn't think much of it, so I reported my name: "My name is Bai Yun." What about you?"

The woman's round eyes were already open, but they opened again, revealing a trace of panic, staggering a step, and almost falling.

I hurriedly stepped forward to hold on to it and advised, "Be careful." ”

The woman was stunned, and after calming down, she replied to me in a deep voice: "My name is Ah Zhen." ”

"Hmm. Ah Zhen, it's okay if you're okay. I went with them, don't worry about guilt, I'll be fine. ”

I'm going to come this minute, and that's what I actually want to say.

Ah Zhen paused, bit her lower lip, nodded, but asked softly, "Can I touch your face?"

I was surprised, but I couldn't find a reason to refuse.

Ah Zhen stretched out her rough hands covered with blood scars and touched them carefully inch by inch on my face.

Forehead, eyebrows, corners of eyes, nose, lips, jaw, ears......

I was embarrassed to be touched by her, but I saw that her empty eye sockets were gradually filled with tears, and the corners of her eyes flowed down with sadness......

"Ah Zhen, don't cry, I'll be fine. Take care of yourself. ”

I waved goodbye to Ah Zhen, and then I reacted, she couldn't see it at all. Then he turned around, surrounded by several biao men, and coerced to leave.

Later, I went to ask the old grandmother who sold lanterns, Ah Zhen's situation.

The old grandmother said-

On that day, Ah Zhen stood on the street and cried for a long, long time, and her eyes were swollen into peaches.

At the end of the cry, Ah Zhen curled up in place, constantly muttering words that the big guys couldn't understand.

It wasn't until it was dark that Ah Zhen touched and left, not knowing where to go.

And I, inexplicably, came to the long-rumored Yihong Courtyard.

This trip really refreshed my three views......
