Volume 1 Asking the Present Chapter 5 [Fire Scales]
Tens of thousands of miles away from Jinyi Town, the Lingyin Sect had a major event that shook the entire sect and the surrounding forces a while ago.
The two inner disciples of the Lingyin Sect went out on a mission, but disappeared for fourteen years.
During this period, the sect sent people to search for it many times, but there was no news, if it weren't for the missing disciple's soul lamp still on, and the special attention of the sect master of the Lingyin Sect, the people who dealt with this matter would have been too lazy to pay attention to this trivial matter.
Now that the two missing disciples have returned to the sect after fourteen years, what makes people feel terrible and shocked is that Li Lingfei, who was only in the middle of the mountaintop realm fourteen years ago, and Lu Su, who was in the early stage of the mountaintop realm, both returned to the sect with the strength of the sea viewing realm. You must know that the sect master of the Lingyin Sect is only in the late stage of the Sea Viewing Realm.
After Li Lingfei returned to the sect, he did not go to the mission office to report, but went directly to the closed place of an elder, and killed the elder who had not had time to speak with one blow. Then, in the encirclement and obstruction of the sect master and a group of elders, one move seriously injured the head of Qingluan Peak, if it weren't for the timely departure of an ancestor of the Lingyin Sect who had been in retreat for many years, the head of Qingluan Peak might have been killed, and his wife Lu Su had been silently following behind him.
After understanding the cause and effect of the whole thing, the Lingyin Sect Ancestor, whose retreat was interrupted, personally dealt with the incident. imprisoned Qingluanfeng in the back mountain for 70 years, and did not pursue Li Lingfei's killing of the elders of the sect, and Li Lingfei temporarily took charge of Qingluanfeng.
As soon as this decision came out, it aroused the dissatisfaction of some people in the sect, thinking that Li Lingfei had not been punished for killing the elders of the sect, and it was not in accordance with the rules, so how could he still temporarily take charge of Qingluan Peak? But these voices were strongly suppressed, and they were revealed.
The mountains in the Lingyin Sect are undulating, and the waterfalls and green mountains all carry a strong aura of heaven and earth. At this time, at Qingluan Peak, there was a gentle and elegant man dressed in purple, with white hair, a knife-like face, and a cold temperament. He exuded a chill all over his body, a gust of wind blew the man's hair, his eyes looked in one direction, a little distracted, there was longing, sadness and uneasiness in his eyes.
This person is none other than Li Lingfei, who is famous in the entire Lingyin Sect, and even the surrounding major immortal sects, since the opening of the Lingyin Sect, the youngest person in the history of the Lingyin Sect to take charge of the sect.
Behind Li Lingfei slowly walked a young woman with a beautiful posture but a slightly sickly face, and her voice was slightly low.
"Ling Fei, it's been a while since I went back to the sect, let's hurry home early, my injuries have healed for the most part, and it's out of the way." I miss my daughter, when I left her, she was less than three years old, so old, I still remember when she cried and kept reaching out to me, and kept shouting mother, now she should grow into a big girl. ”
The woman covered her lips as she spoke, tears streaming down her cheeks and across her fingertips.
Li Lingfei turned around, gently hugged the woman in his arms and said: "Don't be in a hurry at this time, you take care of your body first, the sea viewing realm that you forcibly broke through will not be able to recover in a while, I think my daughter will definitely be worried if she sees you like this, and we will go back in two days." ”
Li Lingfei comforted his wife, but his eyes were a little blurry, he became this strange appearance that was far from before, I don't know if my parents still recognize me, and whether it will scare my daughter.
"But I just miss her so much, I'm sorry for my daughter... I didn't take care of her, and I didn't watch her grow up. ”
"I don't blame you, it's blame that Elder Feng set a trap for his son's personal vendetta and wanted to get rid of us by the hand of Sanxiu, and in the end we could only jump off the cliff. Fortunately, God favored him, and accidentally fell into the secret realm of ancient power, although he was blessed by misfortune, but he was also trapped for fourteen years, and it is always a happy thing to be alive now. ”
The woman wiped the corners of her eyes, looked up at her husband's face, and said softly: "I want to leave tomorrow, my body is not tight, I can suppress it by taking a solid pill, Ling Fei, I want to see our child now." ”
Li Lingfei patted his wife's back gently, "Okay, then go home tomorrow." ”
On this day, Jiang Ning and Li Shanshan went to Pingyuan Chengfang City to pick them up, and as usual, Jiang Ning was just responsible for carrying things. Looking down at the large and small objects he was holding in his hands, Jiang Ning shook his head and muttered in a low voice, "I really should have brought Brother Big Bear with me." ”
Li Shanshan waved her hand to this side and shouted, "Xiao Ning, hurry up, what are you muttering?" ”
"It's coming. Jiang Ning hurriedly followed.
Pingyuan City is several times larger than Jinyi Town, and there are several streets alone. Pedestrians are endless, the people are complex, and all kinds of luxury shops, restaurants, workshops, etc., stretch across the area.
"We're shopping like this, it's been almost half a year since the last time, and it's all because grandpa has been pulling you and him to study medicine all day long. ”
At this time, Li Shanshan was holding a string of sugar gourds in her hands and licking them, wearing a small mask on her face, only covering half of her face. There are vendors selling them at intervals on the streets, and some pedestrians are wearing them.
A simple and elegant dress highlights the girl's cold and indifferent temperament... The premise is to ignore the appearance of eating sugar gourds at this time. In this way, it has also attracted a lot of attention along the way, but fortunately, the plain city is well-behaved, and there are often patrol teams passing by, and the road is very stable.
"Xiao Ning, tell my sister what I like about something, and my sister will buy it for you. ”
"If you don't buy it, you'll have to pick up your own things when you buy it, I'm almost free now, can we find a place to rest first, my hands are sore..."
Jiang Ning was very curious, usually when Li Shanshan was doing some work at home, she seemed to be tired. But this time I walked around the market, and I still had more physical strength than myself.
Li Shanshan pointed ahead and said, "Then go to the restaurant in the back street to rest, it's quieter over there." ”
The two turned a few corners on a spacious and crowded street, and at a corner, Jiang Ning and a little girl in tattered clothes who ran fast collided head-on. Jiang Ning didn't have anything to do, but the little girl was knocked to the ground, seeing this, Jiang Ning hurriedly put down the things in his hand and went over to help the little girl.
"Little sister, are you okay, have you hurt anything? ”
The little girl's hair was messy, her little face was black, and she looked like she was six or seven years old, and her eyes were extremely special, and her pupils showed a faint fiery red, which looked a little demonic.
She replied weakly to Jiang Ning, "I'm fine." ”
Next to her, Li Shanshan helped the little girl pat off the dust on her body and asked, "Little sister, what happened, why did you run so fast, what about your family?"
The little girl suddenly cried with watery eyes and said, "There are bad people chasing me, I have no family..."
Jiang Ning looked in the direction where the little girl ran over, and did not find any suspicious characters, so he comforted the little girl, "Don't be afraid, we are the bad guys who don't dare to come." ”
Li Shanshan smiled and said to the little girl: "Let's stop standing in the way here, there is a restaurant in front, little sister, can my sister take you to eat delicious?"
The little girl nodded first, then shook her head and said pitifully: "I don't want to eat, I'm not hungry, can I follow you, there are bad people who want to arrest me, I'm afraid." ”
Jiang Ning was wondering whether to hand her over to the people of the government, so he asked, "Little sister, what is your name and where do you live?"
"My name is Fire Scale, and I originally had a grandmother, but my grandmother got sick and passed away some time ago... Now I'm the only one left. ”
According to the little girl, it turned out that she was an outcast, picked up by an old man who was begging for a living, and brought up on a snowy night. It's just that the old man was too old and seriously ill, and he couldn't afford to see the disease, so he passed away.
After Jiang Ning listened, her heart was touched, Li Shanshan felt very sorry for the little girl, put her hands on her shoulders and patted her, "Sister Fire Scale is fine, don't be afraid, just follow us." ”
The three of them had dinner in the restaurant, and Jiang Ning, Li Shanshan and the little girl named Fire Scale quickly became familiar with each other. Fire Scale seemed to like Jiang Ning very much, which made Li Shanshan say that she was a little funny, she didn't expect Jiang Ning to please children so much.
Huoren wanted Jiang Ning to lead her, and when Li Shanshan saw this, she shared the items in Jiang Ning's left hand, and the three of them walked on the street like this.
"Brother Jiang Ning, it turns out that you are Lang Zhong who can save people, then I don't have to worry about getting sick from now on, if I had met you earlier, maybe my grandmother wouldn't have died of illness..."
Jiang Ning had to smile and say, "Fire scales are so cute, they won't get sick." ”
Jiang Ning felt a little embarrassed, feeling that he was about to become an omnipotent miracle doctor in the mouth of the little girl. During this period, Li Shanshan took the fire scales to buy a few clothes, and the little girl was very happy to jump.
"It's almost time, I'll go to Grandpa Shen to put down my things, you guys are waiting for me here, let's get ready to go home." ”
Grandpa Shen is a serious and kind old man who has a good relationship with his grandfather. Every time he and Li Shanshan went to Pingyuan City to play, it was the old man who was in charge of picking them up.
Jiang Ning didn't know that the Grandpa Shen in his mouth was the chief steward of the Shen family, one of the six major families in Plains City, a well-known figure in the secular rivers and lakes in his early years, named Shen Muyuan. A quick knife is superb, otherwise how can Li Erliu rest assured that the two children will go to Pingyuan City, even if the law and order are good now, there may be accidents.
When loading the various items bought today into the carriage, Jiang Ning's finger was accidentally scraped out of a small hole by the metal water chestnut of the carriage mountain, and a little bit of bright red blood flowed out of the scratch, Jiang Ning wiped it with his hand indifferently, and pressed his thumb against the injured finger, and continued to put things on the carriage with his other hand.
Fire Scale came over at some point, "Brother Jiang Ning, do you need help, ah, why are you injured?" ”
She was still wearing ragged clothes at this time, her hair was still messy, but her little face was very clean, Li Shanshan wanted to wait for her to take her back, give her a good bath, and then change into newly bought clothes. At this time, the little girl's faint fiery red eyes looked straight at Jiang Ning's injured fingers.
"It's okay, I accidentally scratched a little skin. Jiang Ning smiled and snapped his fingers.
"I'll show you. ”
Huo Liang stood on tiptoe, held Jiang Ning's hand with both hands, looked at the small wound and said very seriously: "How can this work, I will treat you, my injuries are all so effective." ”
After speaking, before Jiang Ning could react, the fire scale sucked Jiang Ning's injured finger with his small mouth, Jiang Ning quickly pulled his hand back, how could he let a little girl do this. The strange thing was that the wound on Jiang Ning's finger actually healed slowly, which suddenly made him a little surprised and curious, looking at the fire scales, and he stopped talking.
Fire Scale looked at Jiang Ning with a pair of big eyes and said with a smile: "Brother Jiang Ning, I didn't lie to you, but it worked." ”
Not far away, Li Shanshan waved her hand to this side, letting the fire scales pass, and the little girl turned around and walked over in a bouncing manner. When she turned her back to Jiang Ning, she stretched out her little tongue and licked her lips, and her fiery red eyes lit up slightly.
