Chapter 144: Compromise?
Because the Yan family can't enter Huai'an City now, Lu Xiaoan and the others can hide back in Huai'an City. The world is unpredictable, and in the end, I found that Huai'an City was the safest, and the most important thing was to be able to be with Gu Linghua.
In the roadside tea shop, Lu Xiaoan and Zhou Zhaoyue sat down to rest, since they were disguised as ordinary people, they naturally couldn't rush all the time.
"I don't know where they are. ”
Although Xiao Lu'er and the others will definitely be safer after separation, Lu Xiaoan will still be a little worried. said before that they would go back to Huai'an City to meet again, so Lu Xiaoan was afraid that there would be some accidents on the way.
Zhou Zhaoyue said: "Don't worry, Hongying is already at the sixth level of the Qi Sea Realm, and her strength is not weak, so she can protect them." ”
Lu Xiaoan nodded, and when he saw that Xiao Er of the teahouse came over with a teapot, he didn't say anything anymore.
"Would you like to have some side dishes?"
The tea shop is not just selling tea, and although Lu Xiaoan and the others are dressed ordinarily, they don't look like poor people, so Xiao Er naturally wants to solicit business.
Although he didn't have to eat for a long time, Lu Xiaoan still nodded and said, "Let's have a few things!"
"Okay!"
Xiao Er was very happy, and got a large plate of beef and other meat for Lu Xiaoan and the others, if they were really ordinary people, they really couldn't finish eating.
This is this kind of small roadside shop trick to rip off customers, anyone who sees the kind of person who is not short of money and has a raw face, as long as you don't make it clear, will serve you a lot of dishes, and you have to give money anyway if you can't finish eating.
Lu Xiaoan didn't think about it so much, and even if he knew Xiao Er's thoughts, he wouldn't care about an ordinary person.
But suddenly, a person sat down beside Lu Xiao'an, that is, opposite Zhou Zhaoyue, and then pointed at Lu Xiao'an and said, "You, you, you...... Oh yes, the second is the king!"
Lu Xiaoan looked confused, and this person said: "Why, if you don't get rich, you won't know me, we are from the same village, and we played together when we were young." ”
As he spoke, the man picked up a piece of beef and threw it into his mouth, chewing it only three or five times before swallowing it.
Lu Xiaoan's face darkened, although he had never encountered such a thing, it was obvious that this guy was here to cheat and cheat.
Moreover, although this guy was wearing a man's clothes, the loose robe and delicate face made Lu Xiaoan see at a glance that she was a woman.
Lu Xiaoan was about to speak, but Zhou Zhaoyue preemptively said: "What a coincidence, I didn't expect you to meet fellow countrymen." ”
Lu Xiaoan glanced at Zhou Zhaoyue in surprise, and then understood that she saw that this woman was hungry and deliberately let her eat.
Hearing Zhou Zhaoyue say this, the woman dressed as a man became even more bold, kept twisting beef to eat, and said to Zhou Zhaoyue: "You are a sister-in-law, you look so beautiful." ”
This is a bit false, because Zhou Zhaoyue's disguise at this time is very ordinary.
Zhou Zhaoyue bowed slightly, she and Lu Xiaoan are Taoist couples, and it is not wrong for this woman to call her sister-in-law.
"Little Er, help us add a pair of dishes and chopsticks. ”
Zhou Zhaoyue is kind, and Lu Xiaoan is not a hateful person, so he asked Xiao Er to add a pair of chopsticks.
The woman dressed as a man glanced at Lu Xiaoan in surprise, she actually wanted to eat a little more cheekily before Lu Xiaoan debunked her, and she was beaten at most afterwards, she came over like this all the way, but she didn't expect Lu Xiaoan to take the initiative to add a pair of chopsticks to her, so she was a little embarrassed.
Zhou Zhaoyue said softly: "Eat quickly, it's not enough to order more." ”
Zhou Zhaoyue's voice was still very good, and the eyes of the woman dressed as a man suddenly turned red, and she actually cried.
This made Lu Xiaoan very depressed, and said, "Eat well, what are you crying about!"
The woman sobbed, "It's the first time I've met someone as nice as you. ”
Zhou Zhaoyue asked: "You are a girl, why would you go out alone?"
The woman looked at Lu Xiao'an and the two, and then said: "My father wants to marry me, but I don't want to marry, so I secretly ran out, but the money bag was stolen not long after, and I was so hungry that I couldn't do anything, so I cheated to eat and drink like this." ”
As soon as he heard this, Zhou Zhaoyue sympathized with this woman even more, and said: "If you don't go back to such a home!"
The woman was stunned for a moment, and said quietly: "But where can I go if I don't go back, I can't cheat like this for the rest of my life!"
After all, she is only in her teens, and she is pampered, so she has no ability to be self-reliant.
Zhou Zhaoyue thought for a while and said, "You give me your hand." ”
"Huh?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Zhou Zhaoyue was going to do.
Zhou Zhaoyue said: "Stretch out your hand to me." ”
The woman was puzzled, but she reached out her hand. Lu Xiaoan saw that although the woman's hands were a little dirty, the fine skin and tender flesh showed that the family background was still good.
Zhou Zhaoyue held the woman's wrist and probed, and then said to Lu Xiaoan: "Senior brother, she has good talents, I want to accept her as a disciple." ”
"Brother, disciple!"
The woman was startled, and then ecstatic.
Lu Xiaoan was afraid that she would shout, so he hurriedly said, "Don't shout, bow your head to eat." ”
"Oh!"
After being said by Lu Xiaoan, the woman really didn't shout anymore, but she still couldn't hold back her excitement and asked, "You, you won't be immortals, right?"
The monk said that there was not much, but there was no less to say, so it was not surprising that ordinary people could know about the existence of monks, not to mention that this woman was still a big family.
"We are monks. ”
After explaining, Zhou Zhaoyue said to Lu Xiao'an again: "This girl is destined for us. ”
Lu Xiaoan groaned: "That also depends on whether she is willing or not." ”
"Yes, yes, I do!"
The woman nodded busily, obviously yearning for cultivating immortals.
Lu Xiaoan said: "Don't get excited, our sect is facing danger, and there is a risk of dying at any time, otherwise my senior sister and I would not be pretending to be ordinary people." ”
The woman obviously missed the point and asked, "Aren't you husband and wife?"
Lu Xiaoan glanced at Zhou Zhaoyue and found that Zhou Zhaoyue did not reject this identity at all now, so he said: "It's called Daoist, but she is also my senior sister." ”
The woman asked, "Then why don't you say that she is your Taoist companion?"
Lu Xiaoan knocked lightly on the table and said, "That's not the point, I'm telling you that it will be dangerous to worship our sect." ”
"Oh!"
The woman nodded, and said to Zhou Zhaoyue again: "Master, can immortals fly in the sky?"
"No, are you calling Master?"
Lu Xiaoan felt that this woman was really a little big-hearted.
"Yikes!"
The woman exclaimed and said, "I still have to apprentice, right, I know this." ”
As she spoke, the woman wanted to get up and kneel down to Zhou Zhaoyue.
Zhou Zhaoyue hurriedly stopped her and said, "I'll talk about the apprenticeship later, what's your name?"
The woman hurriedly said, "Master, my name is Ning Caiwei." ”
According to the rules, Ning Caiwei can't be called Master Zhou Zhaoyue now, but Zhou Zhaoyue didn't correct her, thinking that she really wanted to accept this disciple.
"Ahem!"
Lu Xiaoan couldn't help but remind again: "Ning Caiwei, as I said just now, our sect is now in danger, you have to think carefully before apprenticing." ”
Ning Caiwei didn't care, and said with an old-fashioned look: "The rivers and lakes are all about fighting and killing, if it's really plain, what's the point?"
Lu Xiaoan thought that she really deserved to be a woman who could do such a thing as running away from home, and her heart was really not ordinary!
Maybe some people are like this, they are eager to be vigorous when they are idle, but Lu Xiaoan really hopes to cultivate quietly and become an immortal all the time, but this wish is too far away for him.
At this moment, a pot-bellied man came from a distance with several family members, Ning Caiwei was startled when she saw him, and hurriedly said to Zhou Zhaoyue: "Master, let's run, my father is here!"
Zhou Zhaoyue is not a child anymore, and said: "Since you are your father, how can you avoid it, it just so happens that I want to accept you as an apprentice and I have to get the consent of your parents." ”
Ning Caiwei hurriedly said: "My father will definitely not agree." ”
However, it was useless, Zhou Zhaoyue had already gotten up and walked towards Ning Caiwei's father. There was no way, Ning Caiwei could only follow hard.
"You, you, you ......"
As soon as he saw Ning Caiwei, Father Ning pointed at her sadly and said, "Look at you, what kind of system is this, what kind of system is this!"
Ning Caiwei was a little afraid of her father and hid behind Zhou Zhaoyue.
Father Ning glanced at Zhou Zhaoyue strangely and asked, "Who are you?"
Zhou Zhaoyue said: "I want to accept Ning Caiwei as an apprentice, and the girl has already agreed, but this still needs your consent." ”
Father Ning glanced at Zhou Zhaoyue, waved his hand and said, "What a mess." ”
As he spoke, he was about to go to Laning Caiwei and shouted, "Don't go back with me yet!"
Ning Caiwei pulled Zhou Zhaoyue's arm and said, "I don't want to go back, Master save me!"
Father Ning said: "What master is not master, you are a girl, be careful of being deceived and sold." ”
Although Zhou Zhaoyue's cultivation is high, this matter cannot be solved by force, and he is a little unsure of what to do for a while.
Lu Xiaoan sighed faintly, and finally walked over, without speaking, and directly shot a rocket into the sky.
"Immortals!"
Father Ning and Jia Ding were stunned, and even Xiao Er in the tea shop was startled, knowing that he had actually slaughtered the guest to the immortal, and his heart immediately hung up.
"Smack!"
Lu Xiaoan snapped his fingers in front of Father Ning's eyes and said, "Now you're not afraid that we will trick her into selling!"
"Ahh
Father Ning came back to his senses, and when he looked at Zhou Zhaoyue again, he was a little trembling.
Zhou Zhaoyue glanced at Lu Xiaoan very gratefully, and then said to Father Ning: "Lingnu's qualifications are good, I want to take her as an apprentice, but from now on, Xianfan is different, you may never see her again." ”
"Huh?"
Originally, Father Ning was quite excited, but when he heard this, he immediately hesitated again, and said: "But I am such a daughter, and I have already agreed to marry the second son of the city guard, what if, what ......if, what if."
Father Ning had an embarrassed expression, thinking what Lu Xiaoan couldn't guess in his heart.
So, Lu Xiaoan said: "Although there is a difference between immortals, but with the backing of the disciples of the immortal sect, it is not better than marrying the son of a city guard, and my senior sister is a strong person at the level of the sect master, she can accept your daughter as a disciple It is your daughter's creation, and others can't ask for it." ”
When Father Ning heard this, he immediately put on a smiling face and said to Zhou Zhaoyue: "Then immortal, you take her away, giving birth to a daughter was originally going to be married, so I will treat her as if she was married." ”
In this world, it is difficult for a daughter who marries far away to see her parents again, and it is normal not to see her all her life, so marrying far away is equivalent to parting with life and death. But it is difficult for ordinary people's daughters to marry far away, and it is forced to marry far away.
Seeing that her father agreed, Ning Caiwei was very happy, and immediately said to her father: "Dad, go back, tell your mother, just say that her daughter has gone to cultivate immortals, hahaha!"
Zhou Zhaoyue said: "According to the courtesy, I should go to the house, but now there is a lot of inconvenience, so I won't bother." ”
Father Ning smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, then I'll leave first." ”
"Hey, hey!"
Father Ning turned to leave, and couldn't help laughing twice, remembering that from now on his family would have the support of the fairy gate, and this waist pole couldn't help but straighten up a little, feeling that the son of the city guard was indeed not worthy of his daughter.
After seeing Father Ning leave, Lu Xiaoan said to Zhou Zhaoyue: "Senior sister, let's leave quickly!"
Zhou Zhaoyue nodded, those people in the tea shop just now will definitely go around showing off, if they are heard by the people of the Xia Jian Sect, even if they can't be sure that Lu Xiaoan will definitely send someone to chase them.
So, they left a grain of broken silver on the table, and Lu Xiaoan and the others didn't eat it, and left directly with Ning Caiwei. But before leaving, Ning Caiwei took the beef away, and it seemed that she was really hungry for a long time.
After walking to a place where no one was around, Lu Xiaoan said to Zhou Zhaoyue: "Senior sister, it's still far from Huai'an City, if we are really discovered by the people of the Xia Jian Sect, it is estimated that it will be difficult for us to escape, so it is better for you to take Ning Caiwei and go first." ”
Zhou Zhaoyue said: "If you want to go, you should go first." ”
Lu Xiaoan shook his head and said, "I'm not trying to cut off the queen for you, but the three of us are easy to be discovered together, and it will be difficult for the people of the Xia Sword Sect to lock us up again, but you have to find a place for Ning Caiwei to change back into women's clothes." ”
Zhou Zhaoyue is reasonable to think about, and with Lu Xiaoan's ice breath technique, it is indeed difficult for the people of the Xia Sword Sect to find him.
Lu Xiaoan and Zhou Zhaoyue were both worried about being discovered, but Ning Caiwei seemed very excited and asked, "Is someone trying to hunt us down?"
Lu Xiaoan frightened her and said, "Yes, as long as you are discovered, you will definitely die, so do you still want to worship our Crossing Immortal Gate?"
Ning Caiwei pursed her lips and said: "I'm not afraid, you can't scare me, if you die, I will help you avenge my cultivation in the future." ”
Lu Xiaoan's face darkened, and he said, "Why do I think you want to help me take revenge." ”
Ning Caiwei smiled shyly and said, "If there is no revenge, it will be boring!"
Lu Xiaoan no longer wants to talk to this guy who will become his nephew, mainly because he can't keep up with her thinking.
After separating from Zhou Zhaoyue, Lu Xiaoan disguised himself as a qi practitioner, which was to avoid some unnecessary trouble. But to be able to show your cultivation as you want, you must have the second layer of the Ice Breath Technique, and Zhou Zhaoyue can't do it, so she can only disguise herself as an ordinary person.
After walking for a day, Lu Xiaoan really found that there were monks chasing in this direction, and he didn't need to guess to know that these people must be disciples of the Xia Sword Sect. Only the Xia Jian Sect was like a hungry wolf, and when he smelled Lu Xiao'an's scent, he flew over.
The two Tongmai Realm disciples of the Xia Sword Sect passed by Lu Xiaoan, glanced back at Lu Xiaoan, and then one of them stopped and asked, "Have you ever seen a man and two women, and a woman dressed as a man." ”
Lu Xiaoan was glad for his caution, and then pretended to be cautious and said: "There are a lot of men and two women walking together, I really didn't pay attention to whether there were any women dressed as men." ”
The two of the Xia Jian Sect didn't plan to talk nonsense with Lu Xiaoan, so they just asked a question and left.
Looking at the backs of the two, Lu Xiaoan pondered: "It came quite quickly, it means that the Xia Jian Sect really knows that I went to Guangyue Kingdom, it seems that I guessed correctly before, it was the head of the family who helped us block Qiu Jian, I hope he is okay!"
Xiao Daoyao can escape from Qiu Jian's hands once, so it shouldn't be difficult to escape again, but I don't know if he was injured.
Just thinking about Xiao Daoyao's matter, Lu Xiaoan suddenly saw another person chasing after him, who was still a woman, and this person actually had the cultivation of the third layer of the Qi Sea Realm.
Since Lu Xiao'an's divine soul was enhanced, he was able to see through the cultivation of the Qi Sea Realm cultivator, not only that, but he also found that the power of this woman's qi and blood was very strong, and she had obviously cultivated the body quenching technique.
"Huh?"
Lu Xiaoan thought about it, this person was a person from the Holy Demon Sect, and it was the two people from the Holy Demon Sect that Lu Xiaoan guessed had fallen into Qiu Jian's hands, no wonder he felt familiar. And the other party also began to work hard for the Xia Jian Sect, and sure enough, the people of the Holy Demon Sect all had the potential of two or five boys.
Lu Xiaoan glanced at it and withdrew his gaze, so as not to attract the other party's attention, and then Hongye stopped in front of him and said, "You don't even look at me twice!"
“???”
Lu Xiaoan had a question mark in his head, and this tone reminded him of Hongying at once.
"Huh!"
Hongye let out an inexplicable smile, and then asked, "Am I not pretty?"
Lu Xiaoan hurriedly pretended to be trembling and said, "The seniors are naturally beautiful, but I don't dare to offend the seniors." ”
Hongye smiled: "It's a bit of eyesight, let me ask you, have you seen a man and two women, don't lie!"
Lu Xiaoan said: "Two people have asked me before, and I ......"
"Don't talk nonsense, just answer honestly. ”
Hongye interrupted Lu Xiaoan, and Lu Xiaoan could only say: "I have seen a lot of men and two women along the way, I don't know who the seniors asked?"
Hongye said: "Then you say where are they all?"
"Huh?"
Hongye's non-routine cards made Lu Xiaoan stunned, and then he said: "Senior, I and them are just passing by, so can you know where they are?"
Hongye didn't ask any more, but suddenly stroked Lu Xiaoan's face, which made Lu Xiaoan almost can't help but be exposed.
Hongye hooked Lu Xiaoan with her smoky eyes, and then asked, "Didn't you say that I was beautiful, do you want to ......?"
As he spoke, Hongye touched Lu Xiaoan's chest.
Lu Xiaoan was depressed, thinking that he was not handsome now, why did this woman complain at him for some reason?
How good is that?
Hongye touched Lu Xiaoan's strong chest and dragged him into the woods on the side of the road, while Lu Xiaoan was thinking about how to get out.
