Chapter 181: An Agreement with Immortal Bone
When the old man said this, he hesitated a little and said casually: "When the ancestor was beekeeping in the deep mountains, he was guided by the master to become an immortal, this master is the immortal of the scorpion family, he was still in the Kunlun Ruins Wonderland, the ancestor was very respectful to him, and later he made an agreement with the ancestor!"
"Did he make a pact with his ancestors?" Nanchen asked casually, feeling that this pact was related to today's events.
The old man sighed, "Yes, the agreement says that all the descendants of the ancestors, if in the season of peach blossoms, the female babies born will all marry into their scorpion family, at that time, maybe the ancestors in order to repay the kindness, for a while, they made this agreement with him, I never thought that no matter how carefully to avoid it, in the end, or when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, Ah Zhen gave birth to spring peaches!"
Nanchen glanced at Chun Tao's father, his face was a little embarrassed, "Daddy, how many times have I said it, I didn't have a ...... with Ah Zhen during that time!" Ah Song defended innocently, but finally didn't say it.
The old man waved his hand at him, "Ah Song! I believe what you said to Ah Zhen, and you don't hide this son's joke, at the beginning in front of the clan, when this agreement was made public, the clansmen all wanted to give birth to babies at this time, but all the babies were male babies, or they couldn't conceive, and then the scorpion family immortals didn't know what they had done, and after being punished by heaven, the fairy bones were sent back to the scorpion family's mansion!"
"What happened later?" asked Nanchen.
The old man shook his head and said: "Later, his descendants, one by one, are not successful, they are well-known flower bullies in the surroundings, who sees who is afraid, and the clansmen have begun to avoid this agreement, and have avoided the season when the peach blossoms are in full bloom to have a baby, which is also strange, but my family Ah Zhen is inexplicably pregnant in this season, and even gave birth to a female baby of Chun Tao." ”
Nanchen glanced at Chun Tao, saw her blinking her eyes quickly, dodging her own eyes, and asked casually, "What about later?"
"Alas, Chun Tao, this child has been talented and smart since she was a child, she is smart and well-behaved, such a good girl, watching her grow up day by day, how can she be willing to push her into the tiger's mouth, and their scorpion family is also here to ask for someone, so I postponed this matter on the grounds that the child is too young!"
When Nanchen heard this, he felt that his ancestors were too careless, and made such an agreement, leaving hidden dangers for future generations, and asked casually: "I heard that you are married to the son of that immortal?"
The old man sighed: "Alas, even if you love it, you have to keep the agreement, but the result is to marry the son of the fairy, not their young descendants, the son of the fairy when I am sensible, he is like this, I will definitely not agree to this kind of thing." ”
Nanchen remembered Chun Tao's cultivation and creation, including the bee attraction technique she performed, which must have been taught by this old man, and asked casually: "So the predecessors taught her the exercises, just in case." ”
"Yes, I'm old, maybe I'll leave that day, protect her for a while, can't protect a lifetime, I will leave Chun Tao by my side, and teach her the skills of our beekeepers, at least encounter some danger, the child still has some ability to protect himself, but people are immortals in the fairyland, even if the fairy body is dead, but the fairy wisdom is still there, it is helpless!" the old man sighed, helpless.
Nanchen frowned slightly, thought for a while, looked at Chun Tao and her father, and wanted to use his supernatural powers to sense the hearts of his father and daughter, the old man also saw what Nanchen wanted to do, let out a long sigh, and shook his head.
"I once questioned how many times I have tested it with jade bees, there is nothing wrong with the blood relationship between father and daughter, you also have to understand Ah Zhen, it is not aimed at you, I think someone used a spell, but you two don't know!" The old man also explained to Ah Zhen as he spoke, in case she misunderstood.
"A fairy bone, a fairy wisdom
I would like to know what crime he committed and was punished by heaven, do my seniors know?" Nanchen asked casually.
The old man thought for a while, shook slightly, and then said: "What crime he committed specifically, this is really not clear, after all, it is a matter of the fairy realm, and the fairy world will not know too much, including the people in the Heavenly Official Mansion, but according to legend, he lost something precious when he went to the mortal world, and he also affected an immortal of the chosen son!"
As soon as Nanchen heard the old man's words, he hurriedly asked, "Senior, what do you mean by the immortal who is involved in the Chosen One?"
"Oh! It's that the immortal has never returned, his life and death are unknown, in short, there is a lot of bad luck!" the old man explained.
Nanchen nodded silently, "Then the crime he committed was not light, it was enough to execute him, why only execute his immortal body?"
The old man still shook his head, saying that he didn't know, "Probably that the immortal also has a friendship, maybe intercede for him, exempt him from the immortal wisdom and let him have the reincarnation of life and death, but unfortunately he did not choose to go to reincarnation, but instead started to be a spirit immortal in the scorpion family's mansion, I heard that this time the six realms are redivided, and the spirit world is expected to be included in the six realms." ”
Ah Song, who was silent next to him, wrinkled his brows as if he had any concerns, he looked at the old man Daddy, then at Nanchen, and said casually: "Daddy, and this son, I don't worry about anything else, this time fortunately, thanks to the rescue of the son, Chun Tao escaped the catastrophe, I am worried that the scorpion family will not give up, and will inevitably retaliate and make a comeback!"
What he said was obvious, and it was also a matter of urgency to deal with, Nanchen and the old man looked at each other speechlessly, and then they were silent, it seems that there is no good solution, the scorpion family will not give up This is a certainty, Nanchen is also thinking about the scorpion family immortals, and will definitely move rescuers to help him and help.
Danque and Xiangju began to serve dishes one after another, breaking the silence of the three of them, and the dishes were fragrant and fragrant, with good color and taste, and they were coveted.
At this time, Chun Tao held a dish in both hands, respectfully placed it in front of the old man, smiled at his grandfather, and turned to leave. This dish attracted Nanchen's attention, frowning slightly, sensing the aura wafting out, thoughtful.
The old man casually brought this dish to Nanchen, "This son, we are a beekeeper, and we don't have any delicacies from the mountains and seas to entertain the son, so I specially got some jade bee chrysalis for the son to taste!" The old man said with a smile.
"Jade bee pupae?" Nanchen read, looking at this fragrant dish, the bee chrysalis are crystal clear, like an ice tray falling jade.
"Childe, taste the mead of our beekeeping clan, although it can't be called the nine-fold elixir and jade dew, but it is also comparable!" Ah Song spoke, and lifted the wine pot to pour wine for the old man and Nanchen.
Under the gazebo surrounded by flowers and vines, the three of them talked about wine, Nanchen sandwiched a bee chrysalis in his mouth, soft and fragrant, full of taste, the wisps of aura, slowly fell into the heart, feeling that the dantian has to run on its own, it can really be described as a delicious wine and food, and he is full of ambition.
The wine is big, and the sun and the moon are long in the pot.
Everything is predetermined, and the floating life is busy.
After the old man and Ah Song's frequent persuasion to drink, Nanchen began to be a little overwhelmed by alcohol, drunk and dazed, drunk and drunk, wine and food, green mountains and green waters.
In the room of the bamboo building, the old man and Ah Song were talking about something, Ah Zhen next to her was full of tears and sadness, Ah Song saw her so sad, so he pulled her to sit down and wiped the tears on her cheeks.
"Ah Zhen, Ah Daddy is also thinking about Chun Tao, what do you think about the background of his scorpion family, how can they give up, Gongzi can save her for a while, but he can't save her for a lifetime!"
Song reassured, his tone helpless.
Ah Zhen nodded silently and sighed, "Ah Song, I understand that Ah Dad is thinking about Chun Tao, but the son of the family is unwilling to take her away?"
The old man was silent for a while, and said: "Ah Zhen, even if the son disagrees, but he has the ability to take Chun Tao out, away from this Xian'an City, Chun Tao, this child is also handsome, smart and well-behaved, there will always be someone willing to take her in, if she stays in Xian'an City, there is only one way to die if she marries into the scorpion family!"
Hearing Daddy's words, Ah Song and his wife were silent, they knew that this was a good opportunity for their daughter to escape, Xian'an City was a city for them, but it was like a cage for her daughter, she couldn't escape the control of the scorpion family immortals, and could only move around Xian'an City.
Ah Song's eyes were red, he looked at Ah Zhen with tears in his eyes, and said slowly: "Ah Zhen! For many years, the masters who Daddy begged wanted the family to take Chun Tao out of Xian'an City, but when people heard the name of the scorpion family's immortals, they couldn't hide, have you forgotten these things?"
Ah Zhen heard his words, it is true that those immortals did not dare to bring out the spring peach, although he didn't want his daughter to be displaced, but it was better than watching his daughter fall into the tiger's mouth, raised his head and said: "Ah Song, I listen to you and Daddy, you can do what you say!"
Seeing that his daughter-in-law also agreed, the old man felt much more relaxed, and said casually: "Okay! This son can go to the scorpion family to rescue Chun Tao, which shows that the son of the scorpion family is not afraid of the scorpion family immortals, this is the only chance for the child to escape from Xian'an City, and I will tell that son then!"
At this time, next to the waterwheel behind the bamboo building, Chun Tao was washing a Tsing Yi long shirt, although Nanchen had "washed" it once, but the washed water still had a dark red color, which was the blood stains left on the clothes.
"Daddy, Auntie, Oh no, those bad guys are here again, and Sister Xiangju was also injured by them!" Danque cried and ran in from outside in a panic.
In the room, the old man and Ah Song and his wife walked out when they heard the voice, "Danque, don't panic first, what did you say just now?" Ah Song comforted his little daughter and asked hurriedly.
"Daddy, I was playing with Sister Xiangju at the intersection, and I saw those bad guys coming again, and they were carrying a big sedan chair, Sister Xiangju asked me to come back and tell you that a hand stretched out from the big sedan chair, and the old elder injured Sister Xiangju!"
When the three of them heard her words, they looked at each other, knowing that this was the scorpion family fairy who had found a master, and were thinking about letting Chun Tao hide for a while, when an official sedan chair fell in front of the gatehouse, and several official guards rushed in the courtyard, as well as a few black-clothed guards of the scorpion family.
"Patriarch Bee, how are you doing lately?" a man in a red official uniform walked out of the official sedan chair, and although his face was a little gloomy, he still squeezed out a few smiles and asked.
The old man's expression was stunned, and he never thought that the government would intervene, so he smiled and said: "It turned out to be Lord Shentai! How could Yaxing come to the Humble House today!" The tone was quite respectful, although he had met with Lord Shentai several times, but he had never dealt with him, but this immortal official's reputation was still good, and he was deeply respected by the people.
Lord Shentai waved his hand, looked up at the pastoral courtyard, and said: "Patriarch Bee, I would like to have this Yaxing, but there are too many affairs to deal with every day, how can I still have this leisure!"
"Then Lord Shentai is here for official business?" the old man asked cautiously, he felt the slightest movement in the official sedan chair.
Lord Shentai looked at the old man and hesitated slightly, "Patriarch Bee Yin, my affairs are too busy, let's have something to say, where is that visitor from the mortal realm?" This official came here today to find out whether he entered the immortal realm privately, as for other matters, it is a family matter between the two of you, and this official doesn't want to say more!"
