Chapter 114: A Chance Encounter

Dong Nanyan knew this woman, she was a personal maid next to Zhou Shao's mother, and it could be seen that the woman didn't treat her as an outsider, and she was also present at the reception banquet tonight.

The graceful woman is as her name suggests, with a willow-like waist twisted, a mouth like a cherry, and a woman with autumn water in her eyes asked: "I'm sorry to disturb the son, Mrs. asked me to ask the son, is the son still satisfied with the place where he lives?"

The environment here is quiet, the scenery is pleasant, the sky is full of stars, there is no big support, Dong Nanyan got up and smiled: "It's really hard to let Sister Yang Liu come here for a run, I bother Sister Yang Liu to tell Aunt Zhou, it's very comfortable to live here, I like it very much." ”

"Childe said this, tormenting the slave and maid, what is polite or unkind. ”

In the winter, the beautiful woman's speech and demeanor make people feel like a spring breeze, "Since the son is still in the habit of living, then I will go back and tell the lady, the son, the slave and maid will not bother you here, if there is any command, just call the slave and maid." ”

During the banquet, Aunt Zhou said that she would let her personal maid Yang Liu take care of them, Dong Nanyan nodded and said politely: "Okay, then I will trouble Sister Yang Liu in the next few days." ”

"What's polite, childe, the slave and maid will retire. ”

As one of the best rivers and lakes in the True Pearl Country, the True Fist Sect covers an extremely wide area and is known as the Little Imperial City.

Walked out of this room that only received the most distinguished guests, and noticed that the light in the room on the left side of the house had not been extinguished, and Yang Liu, who was a maid in the True Fist Sect and was actually a monk of the Ling Void Realm of the Forest Bone Domain, did not dare to exude a little divine sense, and quietly withdrew from here.

News had already come from the Forest Bone Domain, knowing that the old man of the Ling Void Realm who died outside the eccentric city would be killed in no more than two moves, which made Yang Liu a little frightened.

Could it be that this woman who ascended the tower realm killed the centaurs of the Forest Bone Domain outside the eccentric city?

She is no stranger to the people who followed Dong Nanyan's group of teenagers down the mountain, Ye Jingyan, a disciple of the Fallen Leaf Sect, Ye Zhiqiu!

Regarding the details of this woman, there is a detailed introduction in the spy report of the Forest Bone Domain, and it has already been clear that she has been investigated, because before this young man with all kinds of skills was born, this woman was ranked first on the list of must-kill people in the Forest Bone Domain!

At present, it is not known whether the matter outside the city was done by Ye Zhiqiu, so Yang Liu plans not to make a move on this group of people for the time being, and then wait for the news of the Forest Bone Domain, I heard that Niangniang has already gone there herself, I believe that it will not be long before she can receive the information prepared.

The woman who walked out of the house looked back.

She had been here for too long, so long that sometimes she had even forgotten that she was still a Lingxu Realm cultivator of the Forest Bone Domain, if she hadn't been able to let her long-dormant chess piece capture Dong Nanyan here, she really didn't want to lose this ordinary and peaceful life.

Early the next morning, Dong Nanyan and others, led by Zhou Shao's mother, went to a fish restaurant in the city.

is still the same, Ye Zhiqiu, who has a cold and withdrawn personality, still did not walk with them, and stayed alone in the True Fist Sect.

The morning sun shone on his body, and Qi Daozhen asked, "Mrs. Zhou, it's too hearty to go eat fish in the morning." ”

Mrs. Zhou covered her mouth and smiled, although she knew that this little Taoist priest was not a disciple of the Fallen Leaf Sect, but the woman did not mean to look down on her at all, "The Taoist does not know, the fish of our True Pearl Country is a must in this city, and the taste is different from those river fish, which definitely satisfies the Taoist Chief." ”

"A must?", Qi Daozhen, who had eaten a lot of fish in both the Barrier Forest Country and the Eccentric City, said with a smile: "Mrs. Zhou, there is no sea in all directions of this True Pearl Country, where will there be sea fish?"

Mrs. Zhou said with a smile: "Dao Chief, although there is no sea in the True Pearl Country, the fish here are even more delicious than the sea fish!"

"That's weird, Mrs. Zhou, why is that?"

"Dao Chief, you might as well guess. ”

Dong Nanyan and Ye Zhi were on the left and right, and when he heard Mrs. Zhou's words, he stopped and asked with a smile: "Aunt Zhou, is it related to that true treasure?"

Mrs. Zhou, who was waiting for Qi Daozhen's answer in front, her eyes lit up, "Why did Dong Gongzi say this?"

Dong Nanyan guessed: "Aunt Zhou said that the taste of the fish here is not comparable to that of river fish, and the True Pearl Country is like Qi Daozhen said, there is no sea around, so the only possibility is related to the legend of the True Pearl Country, so I have this guess." ”

"Dong Gongzi will guess when he arrives. ”

Leading this group of teenagers into the fish restaurant, it is obvious that Mrs. Zhou is a frequent visitor here, and she was arranged at a table by the lake, and instructed Yang Liu to make a pot of vermilion tea, Mrs. Zhou smiled: "As Dong Gongzi said just now, our specialties here are vermilion tea and fish, which are related to the legend of the Pearl Kingdom." ”

The woman pointed to the steaming pale red tea and said, "This tea is called vermilion tea, don't look at its pale red color and think it's black tea, in fact, it's an herbal tea that detoxifies the fire, and don't look at it steaming, but you might as well touch it." ”

Seeing the expressions of the teenagers after reaching out and touching the teacup, Mrs. Zhou smiled: "How is it?"

The steaming vermilion tea was as ice-like as the snow on the ground outside, and Dong Yanyan was sincerely curious, "Aunt Zhou, this tea is interesting, tell everyone about it." ”

It will take a while for the fish to be served, and Mrs. Zhou asked Dong Nanyan that they should not drink it first, "Everyone knows the legend of the True Pearl Country, and this kind of red tea that only the True Pearl Country has is because of that big snake." ”

She pointed to the area around the lake, "Dong Gongzi, according to what our ancestors of the True Pearl Country said, this is the place where the bones of the big snake with the pearl in its mouth are buried that day. ”

The woman stretched out her hand and scratched around the lake, "The soil on this bone ground is different from other places, only here can this kind of vermilion tea be grown, according to our true pearl country, this is because of the influence of the bones of the big snake in the ground, the snake is cold, so this kind of tea will look hot and hot, but it will be cold and cold when you drink it." ”

After the chef of the fish restaurant took charge of the cooking, a total of six plates of fatty fish were personally served by this old man, who is known as the best in the city.

Obviously, the old man was very familiar with Mrs. Zhou, and he smiled and said, "Madam, the fish are all ready for you, please use it slowly, I will be downstairs today, if you have anything to tell me." ”

"Uncle Huang, I know, then I'll entertain my guests first. ”

The old man smiled lightly, and said to Dong Nanyan that they arched their hands and went downstairs to bask in the sun.

Scooped a bowl of fish soup for Dong Nanyan, and handed two bowls to Ye Zhi and Qi Daozhen, Mrs. Zhou reminded: "Everyone, this fish soup is also a little exquisite, like Zhu Cha, it looks cold, and there is even ice ballast in it, but it is very hot, you have to be careful when drinking it, otherwise your mouth will burn." ”

Dong Nanyan carefully drank a sip of fish soup, and it was delicious, without any fishy smell, which was very different from what he had drunk before.

Mrs. Zhou smiled at Dong Nanyan, "Young Master Dong, you might as well eat the fish and vermilion tea together, the two are neutralized and taste better." ”

After tasting the deliciousness of the fish, Qi Daozhen had already eaten one of the three times and five divided by two, and when the little Taoist priest was still unsatisfied, Yang Liu, who was eating with everyone, gently pushed a plate of fish and meat on the table.

Qi Daozhen cast a grateful look at the woman, and then continued to bury his head in eating.

"Aunt Zhou, this vermilion tea and fish meat are neutralized, as if they are mutually reinforcing and complementary, could it be said that this pearl is really contained in a mussel essence as rumored?"

"Rumors?"

Mrs. Zhou said with a smile: "Dong Gongzi, this is not a rumor, after discovering that this bead snake was buried in the ground, it was you Fallen Leaf Sect who came here to help us investigate!"

"According to the judgment, this big snake killed the original owner of the pearl, but unfortunately it was injured by the clam essence and died shortly, so it dragged its body here and died here. ”

It turned out that it was his own sect that came here for identification, Dong Nanyan nodded, and began to taste this is indeed a delicious delicacy in the world.

Seeing that Qi Daozhen was really eating, Mrs. Zhou smiled lightly and instructed Yang Liu to go down and let Uncle Huang make a few more, "Everyone, don't be too stubborn, eat more, in a few years, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat this delicacy, but Zhu tea can be drunk a little less, this is available at any time." ”

Ye Zhi, who ate in small sips, was the first time to eat this delicacy, and she thought that she would bring her mother here to taste it after she went back, but she didn't expect that she would not be able to eat it in a few years, she asked, "Mrs. Zhou, why is this happening?"

"Because the aura that belongs to pearls in the ground is about to disappear, so in less than two years, the fish here may not have this taste. ”

Dong Nanyan frowned, Zhu Tea and Fish are all because of the influence of underground snake remains and pearls, so why is Zhu Tea always there, but this fresh and tender fish flavor is about to be uneaten?

The pearl is the essence of the mussel essence, and it stands to reason that it will never dissipate before the snake remains.

Listening to his son Zhou Shao, in this group of people who came to their True Pearl Country, that golden girl was the daughter of the sect master of the Fallen Leaf Sect, and this young man surnamed Dong was even more surprisingly senior in the Fallen Leaf Sect, and was the junior brother of the sect leader Ye Hua, but now hearing Dong Yanyan's question, Mrs. Zhou was a little skeptical that the young girl was really from the Fallen Leaf Sect.

"Dong Gongzi, I can't eat this kind of fish smell anymore because the pearl in the ground is no longer in the real pearl country?"

Gone?

Did someone steal the pearl?

This place is close to the Fallen Leaf Sect, can anyone dare to do these things under the nose of the Fallen Leaf Sect?

Qi Daozhen was surprised: "Mrs. Zhou, how did that person steal such a big pearl?"

"Steal, what stolen, that pearl was given away by our True Pearl Country. ”

"Delivered?"

Dong Nanyan and Qi Daozhen were very surprised, the pearl that could be buried together in the mouth of the big snake before he died, he didn't have to think about it to know that it must be a divine object, and the real pearl country was so generous, he said that he would send it?

"Yes. Seeing this group of people were very excited, especially Dong Nanyan and Ye Zhi's surprised looks, there were no outsiders present, Mrs. Zhou lowered her voice and whispered: "Dong Gongzi, Miss Ye, what are you excited about, didn't you give it to your Falling Leaf Sect?!"

"What?!"

Dong Nanyan and Ye Zhi's eyes were staring.

The pearl was given to the Fallen Leaf Sect?!

Seeing Qi Daozhen looking at him, Dong Nanyan, who had never heard of any pearls in the Falling Leaf Sect, asked Ye Zhi: "Miss Ye Zhi, the pearls of the True Pearl Country are in our Falling Leaf Sect?"

There are countless pearls in the Fallen Leaf Sect, and I don't know how many are inlaid on the roof of the main hall alone, but Ye Zhike, who grew up in the Fallen Leaf Sect since she was a child, has never seen a pearl that can be placed in such a big snake's mouth.

The girl was obviously thinking about it, and Dong Nanyan asked, "Aunt Zhou, is it really given to the Fallen Leaf Sect?" In the sect, I have never heard of this matter. ”

"Never heard of it?"

Mrs. Zhou frowned and said, "Although this matter has passed for thousands of years, it has been passed down from generation to generation in our True Pearl Country, and it has been passed down to the present, and there will definitely be no mistake." ”

What's going on here?

Dong Nanyan, who has seen a lot of sect deeds in the Shentong Building, has not seen any kind of statement in any books or jade slips.

The little Taoist priest leaning on his left took a sip of vermilion tea, "Dong Nanyan, there is a record here, and there is no one in your Falling Leaf Sect, it won't be because your Fallen Leaf Sect's means of obtaining pearls are disgraceful, right?"

Dong Nanyan didn't expect this situation, but in Dong Nanyan's heart, he felt that the Falling Leaf Sect would not be this kind of person who saw the treasure.

Sure enough, Mrs. Zhou heard Qi Daozhen's speculation, and hurriedly denied it: "Dao Chief, don't get me wrong, there is no record in the Falling Leaves Sect I don't know why, but the Falling Leaves Sect is definitely not as you think, from ancient times to the present, the Falling Leaves Sect has always taken good care of the True Pearl Country, that is, the snake remains and pearls were discovered, and the Fallen Leaf Sect did not have any covetous intentions, but instead imposed a formation seal on them to help us stabilize the evil aura of death and turn it into an aura that is beneficial to the mountains and rivers of the True Pearl Country." ”

Mrs. Zhou affirmed: "That pearl was given to the Fallen Leaf Sect by our True Pearl Country in order to repay the kindness of the Fallen Leaf Sect. ”

One doesn't talk about his heart, the other is willing to reciprocate, Qi Daozhen gave a thumbs up, "Mrs. Zhou, you Zhenzhu Guo and Dong Nanyan are all good in their Fallen Leaf Sect." ”

Suddenly, the table shook.

Ye Zhi, who had been thinking about it, was a little excited, and the girl, who had always been calm, said loudly: "I remember!"

There is no record of the Fallen Leaf Sect about pearls at all, but according to the True Pearl Country, it is indeed certain that the pearl is in the Fallen Leaf Sect, so there is only one possibility.

The record of pearls must be the same as the record of the originator of the Fallen Leaf Sect, which has been lost in the long river of thousands of years.

Thinking about it carefully, I remembered the story that Ye Jing's grandfather once told her, "That pearl ......"

Ye Zhi said in a deep voice: "It is placed in the dry well ghost prison in the mountain behind the Fallen Leaf Sect!"

————

It is estimated that it will only take half a day to reach it by horse-drawn carriage, but this old ox cart with straw has traveled for a day and a night.

Finally arrived at the True Pearl Country, even if he knew that the man on the ox cart was a practitioner, but on such a cold day, the old farmer was still worried that the man would be frozen.

Now that he has finally arrived at his destination, the old farmer who is finally no longer worried about whether he will freeze out of his life jumped out of the ox cart, "Childe, wake up, the real pearl country has arrived." ”

Fortunately, the man woke up after being shaken twice by the old man, and his heart was not so nervous, the old farmer slapped the straw, "Childe, are you okay?"

The man in front of him looked ruddy, and he rubbed his eyes when he just woke up, "Arrived?"

The old man breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "Childe, this is the True Pearl Country, there is a search ahead, you are still asleep, we can't get in, so I woke you up." ”

As the ox cart stopped, the eyes of pedestrians outside the city were focused on the man lying on the straw.

On such a cold day, a man only wears a single coat?

The soldiers who were in charge of checking pedestrians outside the door also stared.

This is not the first time they have seen a person dressed like this, there were a few yesterday, could it be that this man is also an immortal master?

Taking advantage of the fact that there were many happy things, Tsunegaki, who had slept happily all night, stretched his waist, and then he slid down and got off the ox cart.

"Thank you, uncle. ”

Just go here and ask the Fallen Leaf Sect how to go.

The man whose divine sense had already covered the entire sect of the Fallen Leaf Sect shook his head and walked towards the True Pearl Country.

The master explained that he should be modest and low-key, and kind, so he asked for directions like this, and finally came out for a trip, he didn't want to go back so early, so he could be late.

"Childe. ”

The old man driving behind him caught up, and immediately stopped at Changyuan at the gate of the city, "Uncle, is there anything else?"

It was really uncomfortable, and the old farmer who accepted the two ingots of gold from Changyuan took out the gold he had never seen in his life and handed it back to the man, "Childe, I really can't ask for this money." ”

"Uncle, don't worry, what I gave you, can it be fake?"

"Childe, what are you talking about, how can this gold be fake, it's just such a little road, it's really not worth so much money, I don't want to go after receiving this money. ”

The old farmer tried his best to stuff money into his hand, and he couldn't understand this kind of mortal thought, Chang Yuan smiled: "Uncle, there is no reason to get my things back, if you really don't want it, then throw it away." ”

"Thrown?"

Thinking that the man was in the rivers and lakes, the old farmer hurriedly said: "Childe, I know that you are a good man who walks the rivers and lakes, I know that these may not be money for you, but this gold can't be thrown away, Childe, you go to the rivers and lakes, there is always a time when you can get money!"

"Hero, walking the rivers and lakes?"

Tsunegaki smiled from ear to ear.

Pushing the old man's two hands back, the man smiled and said, "Uncle, look, am I from the rivers and lakes?"

Except for the old farmer who drove the car with gold in his hands, everyone outside the Pearl Country City was slumped on the ground with weak legs.

Like a guest in the clouds, the man jumped lightly, and turned into a streamer and melted into the sea of clouds.

In the shocked exclamation of everyone, two ingots of gold slid out of their palms, and the old man's face was full of sluggishness, and he muttered, "Immortals." ”

After eating fish and drinking tea, Dong Nanyan, who followed Mrs. Zhou downstairs, smiled slightly.

Fortunately, there are still a few years before the pearl aura here will dissipate, and Song Junyi, who will come here tomorrow, will definitely be able to feast on it.

As he was about to leave for the next stop, he walked past a table when someone stopped a young man wearing a hairpin.

Not long after coming to this fish restaurant, the man who had only sat down for a while stirred the steaming teacup with chopsticks, he looked up and smiled: "Young man, it's very good." ”
