This is a completely different city from Jingzhou.

Most of the people here are dressed casually and simply, clean and neat, the clothes worn by ordinary people are wrapped in animal skins, and both men and women will be equipped with sharp weapons, their eyes are cold and vigilant, and they have this unspeakable bandit air on their bodies.

There are many stalls selling all kinds of monsters and weapons on both sides of the street, and there are some miscellaneous strange things.

From time to time, you can see groups of people walking in one direction in full armor, and from a distance, you can vaguely see the rolling mountains, and the cloud-shrouded mountain tops are full of mystery, and there are unknown dangers and riches hidden.

This is probably Hongcheng's own characteristics.

Although the carriage of the Shi family was built relatively low-key, it was still particularly conspicuous in Hongcheng, where the consumption level was generally low, not to mention that there were more than a dozen guards wearing uniform clothes around it, which naturally attracted the attention of the people of Hongcheng all the way.

However, as the carriage drove by, he didn't pay attention anymore, after all, Hongcheng had to pass by all kinds of people every day, and the sects and clans were bigger than the other, although Shi Xian and others were eye-catching, but they were not always remembered.

Shi Xian learned shrewdly this time, and as early as on the way here, she asked Shi Lou about her teacher's friend.

It is said that this friend is called Tongshan Female Monarch, who was originally a Yuan Infant Great Power of the Guiyi Sect, but was unfortunately seriously injured because of the mission, which led to the decline of cultivation to the Jindan period, and when she returned to the sect, she was shocked to hear that the Taoist monk had gone mad and fell into the demon body when she was cultivating, and she returned to her original hometown in frustration.

Beishuang Zhenjun knew that he couldn't persuade the female monarch of Tongshan, so he could only let her live alone in Hongcheng.

But every year, he would personally go to Hongcheng to visit her once or twice, and send some elixir fairy grass for healing injuries.

This time, the sect had some urgent matters to deal with, so he first instructed his beloved disciple Shi Lou to send a letter to the female monarch of Tongshan by the way.

The female monarch of Tongshan has a gentle and kind personality, a kind and generous heart, and has a good popularity in the Guiyi Sect, but after this blow, she became fond of cold and secluded, and found a quiet place to recuperate in the small mountain villages around Hongcheng, living an isolated life, and no longer willing to participate in these trivial matters.

The carriage finally arrived at the door of a small courtyard before sunset, and Shi Xian also looked at this small courtyard curiously.

The courtyard is built by the mountain, covering an area of not small, with more than a dozen tall green tile houses scattered in a patchwork, just like the mountain villas in the previous life.

In front is a small lotus pond, the pink lotus flowers are the most brilliant time, the green lotus leaves one after another, spread all over the lotus pond, the sky hangs with the yellowing sunset, to the whole courtyard spread a layer of golden light, warmth lingers in the heart.

A green tile stone path is paved in the middle, which leads to the small courtyard in a zigzag, and the distance between the carriages is too large to pass through the path, so Shi Xian and others can only walk to visit the female monarch of Tongshan.

Before Shi Lou sent someone to knock on the door, there was already a plainly dressed woman waiting on the side, and saw Shi Lou and the others smiling gently.

"The slave's name is Yuanhe, and she is the personal maid of the female monarch of Tongshan. Today, the lady specially sent me to wait here for Miss Shilou, and please come with me. ”

Saying that, Yuanhe led the way for Shi Lou, during which Shi Xian's hand was always held by Shi Lou, and the guards were all arranged to rest, and only Uncle Shi was followed behind him.

Before stepping into the main hall, Shi Xian saw a woman dressed in a gray Taoist robe and dressed as a Taoist aunt sitting quietly on the right seat drinking tea.

The woman's facial features are soft and delicate, her temperament is light and gentle, and she has an ethereal fairy aura with a Taoist robe, and she is an independent immortal.

It's probably because I've suffered too much in recent years, so that I always have a faint sadness on my face, and it's rare to really stretch between my eyebrows, and some fairies are contaminated with the feeling of popularity.

Shi Lou took Shi Xian's hand and walked forward steadily, and then let go of Shi Xian's hand and made a big salute: "Shi Lou meets the female monarch of Tongshan!"

Seeing Shi Lou's movements, Shi Xian's eyes turned, and he also bent a small body to salute:

"Meet the lady of Tongshan when you are free!"

Putting down the teacup in her hand, the lady of Tongshan hurriedly walked forward to help Shi Lou up, but Shi Lou had just gotten up and a crisp voice sounded in her ears.

The female monarch of Tongshan glanced at Shi Xian in surprise, and looked at Shi Lou with some doubts.

"Nujun, this is my third sister. I saw that she was bored in the house all day, and this time I deliberately waited for her to come out to relax, and also came out to gain knowledge. ”

Shi Lou's cold voice sounded in his ears, and Shi Xian didn't wait for the Tongshan Lady to answer, raised his head, and looked at the Tongshan Lady with wide eyes.

Although the female monarch of Tongshan was reluctant to approach outsiders, her temperament was still gentle, and she looked at Shi Xian's short body with a smile: "You don't need to be so polite, there is no female monarch of Tongshan here now, just call me Aunt Mo." ”

"Since you are here to visit on behalf of Beishuang, you are naturally treated as a nephew, so you don't have to be too restrained here, just like in your own home. ”

Because Shi Xian's height was too short, the lady of Tongshan couldn't help her just now, and she thought that it was natural for her to receive this little doll's gift as an elder, so she didn't stop her.

Just waited for Shi Xian to stand up and gently took her hand, and asked with a kind smile: "This child is really blessed to look good."

How old are you?"

"I remember that when Ah Lou first came to the sect, he was only a little taller than you, and he had a calm and indifferent personality at a young age, and he always looked like a little adult, but in a blink of an eye, he is now about to build a foundation.

Time flies!"

Fu Qixian stretched out her hand and wiped her round chin, she wanted to emphasize to the Tongshan Nujun that this was baby fat, but after thinking about it, she replied obediently: "I am five years old this year." ”

Shi Lou and Shi Xian have been together for a few days, how can she not know that she has always cared about others saying that she is fat, and she loves beauty at a young age, but when she sees her obediently answering the words of the lady of Tongshan, she can't help but want to laugh in her heart.

"Aunt Mo, this is the letter that Shizun asked Shilou to pass on to you. ”

As he spoke, a letter and a black carved box appeared out of thin air in Shi Lou's hand, and they were respectfully and politely presented to the female monarch of Tongshan.

The lady of Tongshan calmly put the letter and the box in her arms, the thoughts and emotions in her eyes loomed, and she said slowly after a long time:

"How is your master doing?

After all these years, it's hard for her to remember me as such a person who was abandoned by the sect. ”

The grievances and sorrows contained in his tone made Shi Lou's eyebrows frown, and he glanced at Shi Xian, who was obediently pretending not to hear anything, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "It's good that Shizun came in, but the sect is busy with things, so Shi Lou sent the important things first.

In a few days, Master Zun will definitely come to visit Aunt Mo in person. ”
