Chapter 151: The Wandering House (6)
Jiuling Zhenjun suddenly felt cold sweat, and said in a lost voice: "Impossible, why are you here?"
Qingxuzi said: "You also know that it is better to believe in a book than to have no book, and I think that the gossip is also deduced by people, why can't it be changed? I expect that Ding'er and the others will enter from the birth gate and leave the door, so they turn the gossip and change the Hugh door to the injury door, even if you have the ability to go through the sky, how can you escape?"
But after hearing his words, Jiuling Zhenjun turned his worries into joy, and deliberately sighed and said: "It's really pitiful to die unknowingly!"
Qingxuzi's face was like frost: "Old thing, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Jiuling Zhenjun said: "This gossip was created by a saint, and the mystery is endless, how can a person like you who is not learned and has no skills be able to change it?"
You twisted the gossip and changed the door of Hugh to the door of injury, but you did not know that you had put yourself above the most sinister 'door of death'. 'Wounded door' is a small murderer, even if the three of us are injured, what does it matter? But you are different, those who step into the door of death have no return, you should always know this truth, right?"
Qing Xuzi's face changed greatly, and he shouted: "Old fox, shut up! Hugh has to bewitch the crowd, and see if you die or I die today!" After saying that, he beckoned everyone to surround and suppress, and Li Yan stepped forward with a horizontal knife in his hand, ready to fight to the death again.
At this time, a gust of wind suddenly blew, which made people's bone marrow cold. When everyone looked, it was a ghost standing in the middle of the two groups.
I saw that his clothes and armor were tattered, and his face was hideous, but he had a majesty.
He first glanced at Li Yan, and asked in a cold voice, "Is there any wine?"
Li remembered violently that this was a powerful ghost in the easy pit, and it seemed that those rabbit slaves had succeeded.
But if he says "no", he is afraid that he will be haunted by this terrible ghost and fall into an even more unfavorable situation.
Suddenly, Li Chu's inspiration moved, and he pointed to the opposite side and shouted, "They have wine!"
The ghost immediately turned into a yin wind and rushed into the crowd and asked loudly, "Is there any wine?"
How did those people know the doorway to this? One by one, they shouted, "You want your grandmother's wine?" If you don't get out quickly, be careful grandpa, I'll beat you to pieces!"
"yes, get out!"
The ghost asked three times, but everyone replied with curses, and he was furious, drew out his saber, and shouted, "I will drink, and if you don't bring wine, you will give me death!"
Everyone felt a tremor under their feet, and suddenly there were thousands of troops rushing out in the wind gusting forward, it was the ghost of the soldiers who died in the battle of Baihe Mountain. They galloped through the air, wielding war-fighting spears, and melee with the crowd.
Although there were many people with high mana in the crowd, this scene happened very suddenly and was taken advantage of. In addition, there is an absolute number of ghosts: "Old man, now that the chasing soldiers are in chaos, let's run!"
Jiuling Zhenjun muttered: "Now that the direction of the gossip has been disrupted by Qing Xuzi, I can't determine the location of the exit, and I still need to recalculate it......
Li Yan said: "I know that there is a place!" So he told Zhenjun about helping the rabbit slave escape.
The old fox was overjoyed: "It's really a heavenly cycle, I can't imagine that you help those rabbits, and in the end you will help yourself." In that case, let's borrow the rabbit hole and use it. With that, the three of them quickly left the wounded door, and the pursuers were haunted by ghosts, but no one chased them.
When they came to the storehouse, the two guards of the pig and the bear had not woken up, but there was a huge hole in the floor, and gusts of cold wind came out of it. Look.Mao.Line.Chinese.Text.Net
Xiao Hongyu said: "I'll open the way." "Let's get down the rabbit hole.
This hole is long and narrow, extremely uncomfortable, after crawling for a long time, I suddenly heard the little red jade "oops". It turned out that there was a deep pit in a radius of no less than six feet, and there were phosphorus fires in it, and it was full of bones of dead people.
Li Yan said: "Presumably this is the burial pit of those dead souls." It is pitiful that they sacrificed their lives for the country, but they still have no peace after they die. β
Jiuling Zhenjun said: "It's important to run for your life now, how can you have the kung fu to hurt others? Hurry up and go!"
At this time, Xiao Hongyu had already dug up the mouth of the burial pit, and a little starlight was transmitted through.
The three of them finally escaped, and looked back at the Xiaoyao Tower, and the past experience was as if it had happened in a dream.
Jiuling Zhenjun raised his head, took a few deep breaths, stared at the sky with dry eyes, and muttered, "What a beautiful starry sky, I haven't seen it for a long, long time......"
Xiao Hongyu said curiously: "Grandpa, can you see it?"
Jiuling Zhenjun smiled sadly: "Good boy, of course you can." You remember, the most beautiful starry sky is not in your eyes, but in your heart......"
The night breeze swept through his hair, and he was stunned, as if he was reminded of countless past events in his heart.
After a moment, he suddenly turned around: "Let's go, find a safe place to go first, and then study the next move." β
Li Yan said suddenly: "The old man ......"
Nine Spirit True Monarch waved his hand impatiently: "I know what you want to say. How can I, the Nine Spirits True Monarch, be a man of no trust? Don't worry, since I have promised, I will definitely go to find that woman. β
Li Yan said: "Since this is the case, thank you Zhenjun." β
The Nine Spirits True Monarch muttered: "It's just that the years are not peaceful, and it's not easy to find a safe cave mansion, it's really embarrassing......"
Xiao Hongyu said: "Grandpa, you once said that the cave mansion you used to be a unique resort, which can be attacked and retreated, why don't we settle there first?"
Jiuling Zhenjun was stunned for a moment, and then said: "That's right, how did I forget this section......"
Li Yan asked, "Where is your cave mansion, is it far from this White Crane Mountain?"
Jiuling Zhenjun said: "If it was in the past, I would have been able to ride the clouds for half a day." But now I'm afraid it's going to be a month or two. Your father has also been to the cave house, which is in the great wilderness of the country of Sushen. β
Li Yan became more and more confused, and asked, "Zhenjun, what kind of country is this Su Shen Country? Why have I never heard of it?"
Jiuling Zhenjun smiled faintly: "This is an ancient power, so it's not strange that you haven't heard of it." The country is located in the far north, covered in ice and snow, and is half the year summer and half the year winter.
When the morning sun and the sunset come in summer, there are ten hours of the day that are daytime, and every year the autumn wind announces the arrival of the long night, and there is not a ray of sunshine for half a year.
The longer the night, the more gods and monsters will be.
The ancestors of the Su Shen Kingdom originally created an extremely powerful empire, but after all, they were no match for all kinds of demons and evils, and they disappeared in a cold night. Now there are still a few demons over there. But that's why we should take refuge there. Only in that place where the sun can't reach can you escape the pursuit of the lackeys of the fairy world. Besides......"
He said meaningfully: "To do things for you, the country of Su Shen is a place that must pass, and you can kill two birds with one stone." β
Li Yan nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to the market in front first, and I'll prepare the horses." β
Jiuling Zhenjun said: "Move quickly, today is the fifteenth day of July, if you arrive before the autumn equinox." You can also see the sunset of the Divine Country......"
Li said in his heart: Strange, obviously escaped, why is the old fox's expression so sad? Why does he want to see the sunset of Su Shenguo like that?
Perhaps, as he said, the most beautiful scenery is hidden in the heart.
The carriage galloped all the way north, and in a blink of an eye it reached the Han River.
The three of them abandoned their horses and boarded the boat, but they felt that the boat was like an arrow, and they arrived in Xiangyang a few days later. Li Yan was going to replenish some supplies and continue to move forward, but the Nine Spirits True Monarch smiled slyly and said, "Boy, let's not go anywhere, just wait here." β
Li Yan was puzzled and asked, "Zhenjun, what does this mean?"
The old fox said: "I pinch my fingers, Qingxuzi's pursuers should arrive soon......"
Li Yan was shocked: "Then let's go offshore, let's go directly!"
The Nine Spirits True Monarch shook his head and said, "No, no, no." Let them chase after me, I'm going to play a trick and hide from the world. β
The more Li Yan listened, the more confused he became, and the Nine Spirits True Monarch explained: "The three of us take a boat on horseback, no matter how fast it is, it is the speed of the mortal world, how can it compare with those immortals and spirits?
So we have to lead them to a fork in the road.
When you went to buy, I had already arranged for a few small boats to set off at full speed along the Han River, heading to Jingzhou, Yueyang, Jiujiang, and Anqing. At that time, they will inevitably divide their forces to chase after us, and we will still be sitting high in the city of Xiangyang. When they are far away, we will go north by land, and how can the pursuers find our traces?"
Li Yan thought to himself that people have always used the fox as a symbol of deceit, and it seems that this statement is indeed true. Let him arrange the pursuers like this, even if there are several times more, he can only return empty-handed.
So the three of them stayed in an inn in Xiangyang City. In the middle of the night, I only listened to the whining in the air, and the aftermath was endless.
During the day the next day, the streets and alleys of Xiangyang were talking about the gods flying over the city last night, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.
According to the arrangement of the Nine Spirits True Monarch, they were asked to prevent the pursuers from going and returning, and they had to stay in the city for at least five days. He and Li are disabled, and their characteristics are too obvious to be ostentatious, so they leave their daily affairs to Xiao Hongyu to take care of.
Xiao Hongyu is careful, and she is like a maid from a big family, and others will never be suspicious when they see her.
Xiangyang City is the key point of water and land, known as "the south ship and the north horse, the trade of nine provinces", which is very lively and prosperous. Xiao Hongyu has lived in Xiaoyao Building for a long time, and has never seen such a scene full of market atmosphere, so she is like a butterfly flying into the flowers, lingering everywhere.
At dusk, the lights come on, decorating the city more beautifully.
Little Hongyu was going to go back to the inn, but was suddenly attracted by a faint fragrance. When I looked up, it turned out to be a store, and the plaque was written with three big characters of "Yushengxiang", but in the lower right corner was three small characters of "rouge shop".
Xiao Hongyu thought to herself, there is a word "jade" on this plaque, and there is also a word "jade" in my name, don't I have a relationship with this shop? So he stepped in.
The rouge shop is even more fragrant. For women, this fat powder fragrance is different from other fragrances, rich in a strong magic, unconsciously intoxicating.
A middle-aged woman in her thirties walked up, grabbed Xiao Hongyu and said, "Yo, what a beautiful sister! β
Xiao Hongyu knew that this was Shang Jia's clichΓ©, but she still couldn't help but nodded.
The woman was overjoyed and looked Xiao Hongyu up and down. Xiao Hongyu was stared at a little uncomfortably, and asked, "Hey, what are you looking at!"
The woman smiled: "Sister, don't blame, sister, I have to look at your face first, and then choose rouge for you." Well...... There you go!"
Seeing that she thought for a while, she moved her hands and feet, and in a moment she had taken seven or eight boxes and placed them in front of Xiao Hongyu. Xiao Hongyu hurriedly said, "I'...... I can't ask for so much!"
The woman said enthusiastically: "It's okay, these are all trials, try it and don't need money!"
Xiao Hongyu thought to herself, this is what you said, don't blame me if I turn around and leave!
The woman was overjoyed, copied an eyebrow pencil, a piece of paper and a small brush, and said to Xiao Hongyu: "Sister, close your eyes and let my sister give you a thrush." β
As a maidservant, Xiao Hongyu has always been plain-faced, although she doesn't have to serve the young lady, but she hasn't been served by others, so her heart can't help but pound nervously.
The woman succeeded in a few clicks, and was about to speak, when suddenly the object in her hand fell onto the table with a thud.
After opening the rouge shop for so long, she has never met such a beauty.
But after this outline, I saw that the little red jade looked like a phoenix, and her face was like a sunset, and her eyes were a star, and her teeth contained broken jade. A smile and a smile can be seen in an indescribable variety of charming, thousands of styles. At this time, the other women in the shop also turned their heads, and they couldn't help but be stunned.
Xiao Hongyu was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"
The woman stopped talking, and held a bronze mirror in front of her. Xiao Hongyu looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't help but be secretly happy.
The woman said: "Sister's dress, you can't turn around and fascinate your sweetheart?
Xiao Hongyu's face flushed: "What sweetheart?" Although he denied the first half of the sentence, he did not object to ......the second half of the sentence.
The proprietress is a businessman, so how can she not know the psychology of the guests? So she immediately brought red paper to wrap the rouge and counted it on the scales.
But Xiao Hongyu obviously underestimated the price of rouge.
Since ancient times, it seems that eyebrow painting and dressing up are only the privilege of young ladies from large families, and it seems that they have always had no chance with ordinary people. The reason for this is not that poor women do not love beauty, but because rouge is an out-and-out luxury.
Taking lip balm as an example, the medium-colored lip balm weighing two dollars costs one or two to one and a half silver in the market, which is equivalent to more than a month's use of a small household. Such an expensive price is naturally not affordable for everyone, so even on important occasions, ordinary women just sweep their moth eyebrows, apply powder lightly, and apply heavy makeup to the next thing.
Xiao Hongyu has seven packs of rouge, which must not be cheap. But after thinking about it for a while, the proprietress said softly: "Sister, this bit of rouge is not expensive, only five taels or three dollars." I think our sisters are in love, so it's good to only charge you five taels. β
Xiao Hongyu was taken aback and said curtly: "I...... I don't have any money. β
