Chapter 31: Obstacles

The terrain of Momiji Castle is amazing, not a flat river, but down the slope, occupying half of the mountain.

Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down, the towering buildings climb on the side of the mountain, like the tall and towering trees on the peaks, tough and arrogant.

What is amazing is that the pillars under each dangerous building are as solid as a rock, and they are still safe and sound after years of wind and rain.

It is rumored that the oldest spirit birch is more than 200 years old, and it supports the city lord's mansion to stand.

The red leaf city is famous for its red leaves, the maple leaves in the mountains are red like fire, and a river of spring water flows eastward.

The small city sits in the north and faces south, and there is a huge dragon lying in front of it, opposite the Jingxi across the river.

The dragon is majestic and majestic, standing for thousands of years without losing the slightest momentum.

At this moment, night falls, the stars hang down the river, the full moon reflects like a bright pearl, the sky and the ground shine in all directions, giving the entire red leaf city a thin layer of light veil, crystal and soft.

Sima Yuan and Qin Mao were high in the sky, he took off his hat, bathed in the glory of the moon, and his bald head became more and more shiny.

He raised his head slightly, looking at the full moon, his gaze softening.

When I was a child, I heard Aunt Su say that after death, the soul will transform into a spiritual moon, shining on Daqian, and purifying the mortal night walkers.

Sima Yuan sighed lightly, "Thousands of years, two generations, a hundred years of frost and snow. ”

Qin Mao's eyes were vicissitudes, and he sang leisurely: "Immortal karma, a love, a thousand thoughts are departed." ”

Under the full moon, the starlight is sprinkled all over the body, washing away the lead of the world, but it can't wash away the sorrow and resentment in the mortal world, and it can't wash away the lovesickness that lives alone in the world.

The two admired the bright moon together and thought about each other.

After a while, Sima Yuan returned in reverie, and after looking at the east, he said softly: "Sima wants to continue to travel eastward and go to the Eastern Wilderness, I don't know where you want to go next?"

Qin Mao said with a smile: "Since Xin'er and her mother left, Qin has taken her as the main thing and taken care of her. ”

After he glanced at Sima Yuan, he said lightly: "Since she worships under your Zixiao Gate, she naturally wants to go to the Patriarch Hall to worship and officially rank on the door wall." ”

Sima Yuan bowed his head and said: "This is nature."

Accepting Qin Xin's entry is not only a fateful fate, but also Sima Yuan's sudden thought.

On that day, when Sima Yuan's spiritual consciousness was in place, Qin Xin suddenly broke through like a glimmer of heaven that had escaped, and it could be said that it was already doomed in the dark.

Sima Yuan said to himself in his heart, presumably it must be the blessing of his senior sister's spirit in the sky.

The next day, Sima Yuan and the three of them began to leave.

Hearing that the old owner was about to move, the huge manor was sold to a city merchant as his sidehouse.

As for the terrifying price, the farmers were even more shocked when they heard about it, and it was worth thousands of taels of silver.

The servants of the manor were dismissed after being distributed by Qin Mao with a few silver taels, and the old servant who looked like a housekeeper was an old man in Red Leaf City.

Qin Mao discussed with the merchant Jia, and still kept him to take care of the family, which was also counted as a retirement here.

Sima Yuan noticed that the manor here should have been worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, but because of the old servant, it was suppressed a lot by the merchant.

However, these Qin Mao did not tell the old servant, but only said that the new master's family was a good talker, in order to comfort his heart.

Half a day later, three figures fell on Jingxi like meteors.

Before anyone arrived, a flat boat floated on the clear water.

Immediately, three figures fell, Sima Yuan's figure fell lightly on the bow of the boat, and Qin Mao and his daughter followed, floating down.

Because of Qin Xin, the two of them didn't dare to fly too fast, let alone burst out too much majesty and qi, so as not to shock Qin Xin.

The robes of the three of them were flying, brand new.

Sima Yuan's robe was pale white and gray, a little simple and old, just like Qin Mao's clothes in the past.

He reluctantly touched his shirt, which was old but extremely clean.

This is the 'apprenticeship ceremony' specially presented by Qin Xin.

At that time, she also said seriously: "If the master wants to walk the rivers and lakes, he naturally has to prepare a few more sets of clothes, after all, there will be many days of beatings in the future." ”

Sima Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed heartily.

This kind of unique concern made Sima Yuan quite surprised and surprised.

But now, he didn't know what kind of demeanor Her Majesty the Empress, who had been in charge of the Shenxiao Heavenly Sect for more than a thousand years, after Sima Yuan ascended to the upper realm.

The genius Junyan, who is in charge of the Heavenly Sect of a continent and overlooks the four seas and eight wildernesses, even how many old antiques and old immortals who have been silent for thousands of years are silent when they hear it, and they tremble and bow their heads.

The elegance is peerless, and the heroes are willing to be attached to the wings and kowtow to worship.

However, no matter how His Majesty the future Emperor Qin is crowning the contemporary, she is just a weak woman today.

is still a naΓ―ve little girl who is only in the middle stage of qi refining.

Today's Qin Xin is wearing a long green skirt with a slender sword at her waist, like a wicker leaf.

The name of the sword 'Liu Rui', which is comparable to a half-step spiritual weapon, is a gift from Illusory Dream Xuan, and Sima Yuan took it out as a thing for his play.

As for the Zixiao Sword, it was put away by Qin Mao and temporarily placed in its storage ring.

Three thousand black silks fluttered in the wind, reflecting Qin Xin like a little elf.

Seeing that Red Leaf City was gradually left behind by Bian Zhou, Qin Xin was finally sure that she had gone out and wandered, and she immediately cheered,

"Go, go, hahaha, this fairy is finally going to be chivalrous. ”

At this moment, on the Jingxi, dozens of boats and boats are either going down the river or upstream, and everyone is competing for speed, as if a thousand boats are racing.

Now it is late autumn, and the perch in the stream is fat in autumn, and many large families in the city have this mouthful.

Steaming and stir-frying, stewing soup and boiling bones, are all a rare delicacy.

At this time, Qin Mao's father and daughter approached the bow of the boat, one step behind Sima Yuan.

Qin Mao said softly: "The name of this trail stream is Wushui, and it is also known as Acacia River. ”

Sima Yuan's eyebrows moved, and he smiled: "Could it be that there is any allusion in this?"

At this time, Qin Xin's eyes moved, and she hurriedly said, "I know, I know." ”

Sima Yuan smiled: "Okay, then ask Fairy Xiao Qin to explain the doubts for the teacher." ”

Qin Xin nodded solemnly, coughed lightly, pinched his throat, and said clearly: "According to legend, more than 10,000 years ago, the southern demons invaded the human race and kidnapped tens of thousands of people of our human race, which caused my Shenzhou to sink and destroy the lives of people. The lord of the country then led his people to resist the southern barbarians, and unfortunately died here. ”

When the concubine heard the news, she rushed to weep bitterly, awakened the god of the mountains, moved the mountains to build a tomb, and rested the soul of the lord of the country. ”

Then it rained heavily for months, and the river became a river. ”

Qin Xin exhaled, patted her little crisp chest, and spit out her little tongue, "I'm tired of this fairy."

Qin Mao touched Qin Xin's head and was speechless.

Qin Xin is petite, although she is twenty or three years old, her personality and appearance are only fifteen or sixteen years old, just like a little daughter.

Sima Yuan bowed his head and said: "That lord of the country did not live up to the promise of 'the king dies in the society'."

Qin Mao praised: "For the way of the king, for the country and the people, this lord deserves his name." ”

Sima Yuan tilted his head slightly and said, "What happened to that spirit concubine then?"

Qin Xin raised her hand and pointed towards a peak, "No, on that lonely peak, there is a statue of a goddess, which is incarnated by that spirit concubine. ”

Sima Yuan raised his head, and after passing over the heavy clouds of smoke, his gaze fell on an abrupt jade statue that resembled a human body.

The jade is as tall as a zhang, the form is slender and enchanting, and its form is like the appearance of a beauty.

The erosion of years of wind, frost, rain and snow has not erased the slightest of it, but has turned it into a sculpture blade, polishing it more and more like a god.

The jade beauty is the spirit concubine.

However, after he saw Concubine Ling's appearance clearly, Sima Yuan's heart was shocked, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

He lost his voice and said, "Senior sister."

Without waiting for Qin Mao's father and daughter to react, Sima Yuan immediately took a step forward, and his figure suddenly disappeared.

When it reappeared, it was already before the jade beauty.

At this moment, the appearance of the jade beauty fell into Sima Yuan's eyes clearly.

Looking at the appearance of the spirit concubine again, she is five points similar to Chen Qingwan of Sword Peak.

A whistling sound sounded, and Qin Mao's father and daughter swept to Sima Yuan's side.

Qin Mao frowned, "Sima Daoyou, are you okay?"

Qin Xin shrank back, as if she was timid.

But seeing that Sima Yuan's face was cloudy at this moment, he flashed suddenly, doubtfully, and dazedly from time to time, and ignored Qin Mao's inquiry.

There are all kinds of indications that the senior sister Chen Qingwan was born to her stepmother Xu Zhimei, and her father is the master Lu Hongli.

But Sima Yuan learned that his senior sister's biological father was Jian Feng

The former peak master Chen Hanlin, but when he was in the Lotus Secret Realm, Sima Yuan had seen Chen Hanlin's divine soul with his own eyes, and he was ninety percent similar to his senior sister.

On the other hand, Lu Hongli is not at all similar to his senior sister, but why does the senior sister say that his biological father is the master Lu Hongli?

How did Senior Sister come here?

Sima Yuan sighed in his heart, now that his senior sister has died early and his stepmother has fallen, he and Yinfeng have mutual suspicion and vigilance, so it is not good to ask.

He looked at the jade and frowned.

Suddenly, his mind moved, and the mana in his body surged and shook, rolling away.

Qin Mao's face turned grim, and he immediately retreated with Qin Xin.

After retreating, a deep cheer came, as if a mysterious Dao method was dispersed.

But at this time, Sima Yuan was shrouded in brilliance, like a god and a man descending into the world.

Its gaze is like a torch, as if thousands of rays of light overflow.

Immediately, Sima Yuan issued an edict in his mouth, and the divine light in his eyes suddenly shot out, descending directly on the jade.

At this moment, the jade also burst into fine light, and his beautiful eyes were like spirits, and he looked at Sima Yuan without fear.

Suddenly, a rolling shock wave dispersed, crashing into the surrounding peaks, and echoes were heard.

Suddenly, a muffled snort sounded, and Sima Yuan's figure staggered out, and he retreated to a hundred zhang away.

Qin Mao's face changed, and he immediately supported Sima Yuan, looking at the jade with solemn eyes.

Qin Xin beside him exclaimed, "Sister Jade has appeared, she is alive, she is alive." ”

Sima Yuan wiped away the bleeding from the corners of his mouth, and said in a deep voice: "Who is Your Excellency, why do you want to pretend to be my senior sister?"

saw that the eyes of the jade beauty who was suspected to be a spirit concubine were shining, and the face made of jade was lifelike.

She turned into a human face, and her mouth opened slightly, "Who is the senior sister you are talking about?"

The sound is like the spiritual sound of the empty valley, like the fairy music in the sky, clear people's hearts, and illuminate all the filth.

It seems to come from above the nine heavens, ethereal and without a trace.

Qin Xin covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Sister Lingfei has spoken, Sister Lingfei has spoken." ”

Qin Mao pressed the excited Qin Xin, who was also surprised.

He has lived in this Red Leaf City for nearly 20 years, and has been here several times during this time, and he has never found anything unusual about this jade, let alone transformed into a human form.

Could it be that someone has recently made it a point?

Qin Mao frowned, quite puzzled.

Sima Yuan's face was solemn, and he secretly said to Qin Mao: "Qin Daoyou, do you know the origin of this jade?"

The origin of his words is naturally not the so-called folklore, but the fact that jade transforms into a human figure.

Qin Mao glanced at the jade, the suspicion in his eyes was no less than Sima Yuan, he suppressed the inexplicable fear and uneasiness in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Dissatisfied with Daoyou, I don't know what this woman's manifestation is, if it weren't for Daoyou, Qin Mao may have been blinded by this person all along." ”

Fear suddenly rose in his heart, if this woman was sent by the Lingye Kingdom to monitor his father and daughter, wouldn't it mean that he had been under the control of that demon woman for more than 20 years?

As soon as he thought of this, it was as if there was endless darkness, panic and terror in Qin Mao's heart.

He looked at the jade and said sharply, "Who are you who dare to live on this jade? ”

Before the words fell, the mighty aura on his body suddenly dispersed, and he pressed towards the jade beauty in Sima Yun's pupils.

Qin Xin's face turned pale, she finally realized the danger, and there seemed to be panic and fear in her eyes.

The jade beauty's eyes were calm, and she first fell on Sima Yuan, and said softly: "I am the spirit concubine, the spirit concubine of Your Majesty." ”

Qin Mao's face sank, "You lie!"

"Concubine Ling's words are just nonsense made up by the world's laymen, don't deceive us. ”

When these words fell, Sima Yuan and the three of them suddenly felt that a crisis was coming, but the momentum of the jade beauty gradually became cold.

Then, under the great change in the faces of Sima Yuan and others, the face of the jade beauty changed for a while, and she turned into a strange woman.

This aura is noble, more powerful, especially eye-catching is the tall phoenix crown on its head, which reflects that it is a person who has been in the top position for a long time.

His cold gaze swept over Qin Mao, and the sneer was particularly strong, and then turned into an indifferent color, "Evil barrier, so you are here!"

The sound fell in, like rolling thunder, shocking in all directions.
