Chapter 36: The Golden Wind and Jade Dew Meet (1)
The river water is clear, the spring breeze is full, the Qianzhong City located in the south of Liangzhou is earlier than other places to usher in spring, the temperature is more pleasant, in this bright spring, there is no lack of people in the suburbs.
No, although there is still a long way to go from the city, a pair of bright figures are strolling along the tree-lined path full of wildflowers, two people, one old and one young, a man and a woman, the contrast is stark. Especially the woman in it, the graceful figure and the beautiful face loom in this pleasant spring breeze, like the goddess of the nine heavens.
The man is fifty or sixty years old, not tall, and his martial arts uniform looks ordinary, with a flat and round head, and some penetrating facial features. Fortunately, its breath feels quite mild, but it looks ugly.
Take a closer look, the girl is about sixteen or seventeen years old, which is the best time in the year of jasper. Holding a pothos cloth umbrella in his hand, he was wearing a goose yellow dress with fine silk, although the dress was not luxurious, it revealed a very comfortable freshness and elegance.
A hairpin made of black jade is embellished on the girl's bun, which makes her fresh and elegant reveal endless intelligibility and nobility, as if she has come out of a poem or painting.
And her extremely beautiful face seems to go wherever she goes, and the flowers in the mountains are shy and drooping down their reserved and arrogant bones, as if the world has been siphoned out of thin air.
The two girls moved lightly in front of them, and seemed to be in a very happy mood, while the men followed behind unhurriedly, and the two of them did not speak much, no different from ordinary spring appreciators.
As he approached a hill, the man asked:
"Miss, we've been walking around this Qianzhong City for several days, what do you think, if you don't leave, I'm afraid your master will come back." ”
The middle-aged man looked a little anxious, and listening to his tone, it seemed that the girl was his master.
"What are you anxious about, Uncle Lei, didn't Master just leave, it doesn't hurt for us to stay here for a few more days. Spring is still good in the mountains, but there are only winding streams here, and if there is a lake, we can also go on a light boat!"
The girl covered her mouth and chuckled.
"I said, Miss, it was you who told me that you wanted to sneak home, Sect Master Lan finally left you alone and was hanging out here, but don't let her catch her before you leave!"
"Uncle Lei, why are you still the same, what's so urgent? Master has a good relationship with my father, she won't embarrass me, and besides, she also knows that I want to go home, it's okay. By the way, the last time my sisters told me that they wanted to see what new things in the world were, I always remembered them, so I just bought some and went back. ”
The girl held an umbrella, looked back and smiled at the middle-aged man, making him feel as comfortable as a spring breeze, and couldn't help laughing:
"Okay, okay, who made you a young lady, what you say is what, I'm just worried about your identity and I'm afraid of accidents. When we leave Qianzhong City, we will walk a few more towns to the border between Qingxu Heaven and Demon Shengmen, and after that, it will be our world, and it doesn't matter if you want to buy a city at that time, haha!"
When the middle-aged man mentioned the three words of Demon Shengmen, a smile of incomparable confidence and comfort appeared on his face, and at this time, the girl said to the middle-aged man:
"Uncle Lei, don't leave you, Miss, you watched me grow up, and the days with my father are like countless stars, just call me Mengxun as a family, or call me Yao Mengxun, Uncle Lei, what do you see?"
Although the girl's language named Yao Mengxun is plain, it is full of charm, and it is as elegant as the piano and flute, which makes people unable to refuse.
The man surnamed Lei also laughed when he heard the girl's words, his ugly facial features looked even more hideous, and he was probably afraid of three points even when he saw a ghost, but the girl didn't care at all, and still stared at him with those pure and moving eyes.
In the girl's gaze, the man finally put down the unwarranted high wall around him, and smiled knowingly:
"Yes, yes, who can refuse our Boss Yao's favorite palm pearl! But I said, Mengxun, I have no opinion on where you want to go, but if you want to buy something, I'm afraid you will be disappointed." ”
Yao Mengxun's face showed a puzzled expression, and he couldn't help asking:
"Why is that?"
The man surnamed Lei laughed and said:
"Because Uncle Lei, I haven't bought or sold anything in the secular world for hundreds of years, and I don't have a big son on my body, and I know that if you practice in a place like Jingcitian, it is estimated that you are poorer than me, haha!"
Yao Mengxun's face turned embarrassed when he heard this, and then he blushed and said:
"Uncle Lei actually laughed at me! But it doesn't matter, we don't have money, but there are people here who have money, the simplest thing is to barter, and it is more than enough to dream of exchanging the things on your body for some yellow and white things. ”
The man surnamed Lei was stunned by Yao Mengxun's words, and blurted out: .
"Where are there people in the wilderness?"
I saw Yao Mengxun smile confidently, and then raised his flawless white hand and pointed into the distance, and said:
"Oh, Uncle Lei, isn't there a young man squatting there in the mountain stream ahead, exchange a few pennies with him, it is enough to buy some cheap and interesting gadgets, he should be richer than you." ”
She didn't forget to reply to the man surnamed Lei, which made him embarrassed for a while, but Yao Mengxun's words made the man surnamed Lei silently surprised in his heart, because this place was close to Qianzhong City, he didn't dare to use his divine sense to scan the surroundings wantonly, for fear of arousing the vigilance of the monks stationed in Qingxutian.
It's just that even if he doesn't use his divine sense, he can't reach such a long distance with his eyesight in the Wind Realm alone, and Yao Mengxun's realm is only in the third-layer Yuanhua realm at most, how can he see so far?
Curiosity is curiosity, since his own young lady has spoken, then he should do it. However, when he wanted Yao Mengxun to wait here for him to discuss first, lest the person see the young lady's appearance and have a different heart, Yao Mengxun spoke in advance:
"You stay here this time, Uncle Lei, I'll go talk to him myself. Mengxun has grown up and has the ability to take care of himself, besides, I have been in Jingcitian for so long, and I also have some means of self-preservation, not to mention that there is also a demon life order to protect the body, Uncle Lei can rest assured. ”
After speaking, Yao Mengxun smiled at Uncle Lei in her mouth, and regardless of his opposition, holding a green umbrella, she ran lightly towards the mountain stream, and her joyful steps seemed to faintly reveal the girl's curiosity and yearning for the unknown.
Seeing this, the man surnamed Lei had no choice but to shake his head helplessly and smile bitterly and let her go, for Yao Mengxun, he can really be said to be the person who loves her the most except for her father and several mothers.
It turned out that this ugly and kind-hearted man surnamed Lei Jiang, who was the leader of the Demon Dao in Kyushu and the confidant of Yao Shengtian, the master of the Demon Life Gate, was the most powerful person in the later stage of the Imperial Wind Cultivation Sect, except for the elders of the Demon Life Gate Returning to the Spirit Realm.
said that he was a confidant, and he was Yao Shengtian's retainer.
Of course, although he is the name of a courtier, the Yao family treats him like a minister and a minister.
Lei Jiang began to be responsible for Yao Shengtian's diet and daily life when he was a teenager, and he was originally a mortal, and he was later given cultivation exercises by Yao Shengtian, so he respected Yao Shengtian as if he were his father and brother.
Hundreds of years ago, Lei Jiang was seriously injured by some unknown masters, and then fought fiercely for dozens of days, running thousands of miles away, and finally escaped back to the Demon Life Gate realm by him to save his life, but because he was not treated in time, he injured the foundation, and his cultivation was stagnant, and he could only stay in the late stage of the Wind Realm for the rest of his life.
As a result, Lei Jiang began to gradually disappear in the Demon Life Gate, taking charge of internal affairs for Yao Shengtian. After Yao Shengtian's youngest daughter, Yao Mengxun, was born, he, as the most trusted confidant of the door owner, was assigned to be responsible for the safety of his daughter.
"Hey, more than ten years have passed, Mengxun has really grown up, and she doesn't need us old men anymore, it's just that if she can be as naughty as her peers, girls of this age shouldn't be so dull. I really don't know what Boss Yao thinks, he actually sent his own daughter to the righteous path sect, or to Jing Citian, who practiced Buddhism. ”
Lei Jiang thought in his heart for a while, and finally did not chase after him, but was sad alone for a while, recalling the bits and pieces of Miss's childhood in the Demon Birth Gate.
Let's say that Yao Mengxun is wandering around Qianzhong City, in fact, there is a reason.
A few days ago, she went to Qingxu Heaven with her master to visit a friend, but unexpectedly, Master and her friend hurriedly left the Qingxu Tianshan Gate with her not long after, and rushed to Qianzhong City, the extreme south of Liangzhou, without saying a word, it seemed that there was something urgent.
In her heart, the master's face always has a light smile, and her quiet posture is full of elegance and dignity.
Even Master's friend hid his face for some reason, even if he used his own heart eye to use this natural supernatural power, it would not help. For a while, the atmosphere of the three of them became extremely solemn, so that her junior did not dare to make the slightest move.
However, after coming to Qianzhong City, the two masters took the lead of a Qingxutian stationed disciple in Qianzhong City to go to a distant place, but they left it behind and asked her to wait in the city.
Maybe the master knew that the apprentice was homesick and intended to let her go, or maybe the master really didn't want to take her over, and after Lei Jiang came, the two began to "play in the mountains and waters" aimlessly around Qianzhong City.
Now, there is no trace of the master for a few days, and Yao Mengxun slowly dispelled the idea of going to the next step, after all, it is the master's private matter, and he should not ask about it, and if he doesn't leave, he won't be able to leave in case the master really comes back.
So no, it's almost time to play, Yao Mengxun also plans to buy some gifts for her family, although she is shy, but the boy who appeared next to the mountain stream made her have the idea of changing money.
When she came to the young man not far away, she slowly stopped running, thought about it and put away her green umbrella, after all, playing an umbrella in the mortal world in broad daylight might be misunderstood for something else.
Then she quietly used her innate talent again: the heart eye.
