thirty-three
It was rare for a period of time after that to seem to be completely calm, but after all, Gu Hai and Su Zi still remembered the Beidou battle after all, and they didn't gag all day long like before. The two of them are honestly attending classes almost every day, and after the evening class, they will go to Kunlun Millennium Record to find a few seniors with good temperaments, and go into their stories to ask for advice, so that after a week, they have really benefited a lot.
Because Kunlun is different from the world, most people are still using the old calendar, so in previous years, Kunlun would not take a holiday for the New Year's Day of the Gregorian calendar. This year, I don't know if it's because of New Year's Day and Laba, or because enrollment will be stopped after that, so it was unprecedentedly released for two days in a row.
Gu Hai and Su Zi originally wanted to go to the Jiang family or the Ye family's main mansion to see what kind of unimaginable place these high-ranking families lived in, but as soon as they heard that the head of the family would also be in the Ye family in the past two days, and Xia Huairuo vividly described how terrible the Jiang family's elders were, the two immediately dispelled this idea.
So Su Zi proposed that it would be better to go to his house as a guest. Because the Jiang brothers and sisters and everyone were not on the way, they left first. The two Gu Su were left, plus Xia Huairuo, who had nowhere to go, and Fang Yinuo and Ye Wanchi, who happened to be on the same road, and the five of them talked and laughed and walked all the way down Yujing Peak.
Although it is a cold winter, there are still a sea of people in Qingning Fang, and the people from Kunlun who come out to buy New Year's goods in various clothes and people who come back from Penglai Island and Yaochi to visit relatives are full of smiles that can't be hidden. "I haven't come out at this time in previous years, but it's so lively. Xia Huairuo looked around as she spoke, because she was the only daughter in the family and her family was extremely superior, she had been held in the palm of her hand since she was a child, not to mention that it was squeezed, even if she went out with some mud on her shoes, her father was reluctant, and today she suddenly saw such a lively scene, she seemed to have never seen the world.
The shops and stalls along the street hung lanterns early, and some shops even pasted the couplets almost a month in advance. I don't know if I saw something good, Xia Huairuo only said to let everyone wait, but he ran to the front with a smoke.
Ye Wanchi took advantage of this gap and said to Gu Hai: "You may not know yet, this can only be seen in the Kunlun Domain. Penglai Island is cold and secluded, even festivals don't like to be lively, and Yaochi Realm is even worse, just because it was the realm of the fairy family, so the people there are more particular, and these close to the worldly bustle is simply taboo. Gu Hai nodded as if he didn't understand, and thought back to the hazy sea fog he saw in the Kunlun Millennium Record, and Penglai Island, which seemed to be shrouded in gray and blue fog all the year round, understood a little more at the moment.
The group saw that Xia Huairuo had not come back, so they found a bench placed on the side of the street and sat down, with the sound of the wind whistling in winter, accompanied by the conversations of countless passers-by and the sound of chanting spells, Gu Hai was a little afraid of coldness and shrunk into a ball with Su Zi and started to start. After completely emptying himself, the noisy sounds and the lights in front of him became blurred, and the world gradually became strange and no longer focused.
I don't know if the tone of the storyteller is more special than the others, in those sounds that were mixed together, the story in his mouth reached Gu Hai's ears, and gradually became clear: "Besides, Yan Qing, the wife of the head of the Jiang family at that time, when she arrived on Penglai Island, she heard that the Penglai immortal medicine had been taken away by Ye Yingbo and her whereabouts were unknown, and she immediately understood that Ye Yingbo wanted to take away the last ray of life of her husband and children, so when she left the island, she set up a formation with the Jiang family's blood talisman in Tianhai Yunzhou, and spent four days and five nights to intercept and kill the other party. β
"But although you got the medicine, it took too long, and by the time you returned to the Kunlun Jiang clan, your father and younger brother would have died long ago. So you were forced into a desperate situation, came to the pear forest with the only hope, and turned the Penglai immortal medicine into a lifelong cultivation to cross into the formation to wake up Bai Zhen, and did not hesitate to fight with his life in order for him to help you realize your wish. Yan Yin ended a man's monologue lightly in a storytelling tone, and he looked up at the heavy snow outside the window, and then moved his gaze to a snow that seemed to have just accumulated.
Below that was a teleportation array that had been around for a few years, and he had discovered that this was a somewhat naΓ―ve and clumsy formation not long ago, and with just a slight alteration, it could be used without cultivation, and the formation itself could be effective. Yan Yin couldn't help but sigh a little emotionally, ten years have passed, not only has he not been able to forget the past, but even those complicated and difficult Jiang secret techniques have always been clearly remembered in his mind, if it weren't for the fact that he could only draw by hand instead of cultivating when he changed the formation, he would almost think that he was still the heroic young man back then. Xu hadn't laughed for a long time, Yan Yin reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth, and sighed softly with a dark face: "Ah Niang, this black cauldron that recalls Bai Descending, I'm afraid I want you to help me carry it." β
Everyone in Qingning Fang seemed to have heard the same story as Gu Hai, in the mouth of the storyteller, Yan Qing killed Ye Yingbo who wanted to hide the medicine in order to recapture the Penglai Immortal Medicine, but it was a step too late, so she made a desperate bet and wanted to use her lifelong cultivation and Penglai Immortal Medicine to wake up Bai Zhen. It's just that in the end, it didn't go as she wanted, what kind of character Bai Zhen is, even with Penglai Immortal Medicine and Yan Qing's cultivation, he still only has a hint of awakening ten years later, and the vision of the swamp lake on Yujing Peak a few months ago is the best proof.
"What nonsense are you talking about, a lot of age is talking about these nonsensical things here, have you received anyone's money!" Xia Huairuo's clear voice interrupted the people who were immersed in the story, Gu Hai and his party looked towards the center of the crowd, she was holding a few balloons and standing in front of the storyteller to reason with others: "The things in the Marsh Lake have long been sealed by Miss Jiang that day, how can there be anything in vain, don't be sensational here." β
The storyteller didn't argue with Xia Huairuo, but just blindly made a scared look, which made others feel like he was being bullied, so people began to point fingers at her one after another, only to say that she was a child from a small clan who went up to slap horses when she saw the four great families. Xia Huairuo couldn't get angry when he heard this, so he also stood in front of the stall and didn't leave, he simply put on a posture of wanting to talk about the crowd, turned around and crossed his waist to the crowd and shouted: "Miss Ben is here today, I won't let him tell him if he wants to make up a story." β
Seeing that Xia Huairuo seemed to be about to arouse public indignation, Ye Wanchi and Fang Yinuo hurriedly squeezed into the crowd and dragged her out. The people behind him were still talking loudly in their direction, Ye Wanchi took Xia Huairuo's hand and hurriedly left the crowd, Fang Yinuo also quickly returned to the street and took Gu Hai and Su Zi, who were at a loss, and left Qingning Fang.
When she arrived in a secluded place, Ye Wanchi let go of Xia Huairuo, who was still a little dissatisfied, she looked at the balloon that had been cast in Xia Huairuo's hand, the center was a little flickering firelight, and the flowers, birds, insects and fish were painted on their faces.
Ye Wanchi patiently asked, "Are these balloons for us?" Xia Huairuo pouted and nodded, then took out a ginkgo biloba painted with a willow warbler and handed it to her. Ye Wanchi took the balloon and said again: "Don't be so impulsive next time, it's not good if something happens." β
"But he's obviously talking nonsense, how angry Que should be when he hears it!" Xia Huairuo only thought that Ye Wanchi also helped the storyteller, so he was so angry that he twisted his head and squatted down and ignored Ye Wanchi. The latter was still helpless, so he had to squat in front of her and whispered, "Okay, don't be angry." I'm just worried that you'll be bullied by them, and I'm on your side with you and Que Que no matter what. She said and poked hard at the position of Xia Huairuo's dimple, and forcibly pulled out a smile for her, Xia Huairuo is not a very serious person, but now she can't stop laughing inexplicably.
