Chapter 49: Descending the Mountain
It wasn't until the moon was on the branches that Chang Xi said goodbye to Qingfeng.
Chang Xi's strange questions were really varied, which made Qing Feng, who was in the dignified Jindan Realm, stunned, and racked his brains to answer one or two. If it weren't for Qingfeng's well-read books since childhood, he had a belly full of ink, otherwise the cards of this Jindan Realm would be smashed to pieces today.
Chang Xi naturally didn't know that Qing Feng had so many thoughts in his heart, and after sinking down on the bed and teasing the spirit of the artifact in the Heavenly Desolation for a while, he thought in his heart that he would go to Wen Yu and the others tomorrow to see how they arranged the summer rest for nearly two months, wrapped in a warm animal skin and fell asleep.
......
The next day, in a viewing pavilion on the mountainside of Tianxiu Peak, two figures sat opposite each other.
"Going down the mountain?" Chang Xi looked at Xin Tong in some surprise.
"Hmm. Xin Tong lowered his head, clutching a wrinkled letter in his hand, although it was as soft as a mosquito, but there was an unquestionable determination in his tone.
After asking the reason, Chang Xi learned that Xin Tong had a sister Xin Wu who was married to Qingyang City, and the Lin family where her husband was located was one of the most prominent families in Qingyang City. If you insist on making a comparison, it is the Xin family who has climbed the Lin family. But fortunately, the man she married was the eldest son of the Lin family, and when the two first met, although it was slightly inferior to the romantic encounter depicted in the romance novel, it really made the two reminisce. In addition, the two are talented and beautiful, and they are like a good match.
If these two people can be happy until they turn white, it will naturally be called a good story. But the will of heaven is unpredictable, Xin Wu married into the Lin family, but her husband died violently in the night of the candles in the cave room. This matter set off a huge wave in the Lin family, but there was no progress after several investigations.
She has just been married and has become a widow, and the pain is not enough for the outsider Doyle. Vicious words such as "Lady Kefu" are heard in the mouths of the tongue-wrenching women many times a day. But Xin Wu still gritted his teeth and persevered. Because she knew that if she returned to her parents' house like this, she would not be able to raise her head for the rest of her life, and it would ruin the reputation of the Xin family.
The business under the husband's name is declining because no one takes care of it, coupled with the malicious obstruction of the in-laws, the anxiety of being forced and helpless, has pushed this innocent woman who is only in her twenties to the edge of the cliff. It is said that several women of the Lin family were open-mouthed, and even said the vicious idea of giving their sister-in-law a white silk, which shows how precarious their status in the Lin family is.
Xin Tong received her sister's book, and her confidence was almost shattered. Either way, she just wanted to see her sister as soon as possible.
"I'll send you to the Lin family. Chang Xi looked at Xin Tong's red eyes and said.
"Huh? no... No, I'll do it alone. Xin Tong's red eyes were still with tears in them, and he hurriedly waved his hand, but his voice became smaller and quieter, until he was speechless.
Chang Xi smiled silently, just gently stroked the top of Xin Tong's head. This family matter, which can be controlled by a girl's family in Xintong. The actual situation of the Lin family is probably a little worse than in this letter. In the bottomless muddy water of the Lin family, let alone saving my sister from fire and water, it is a question of whether she can protect herself. Letting Xin Tong, who has never been in the world, go alone, is no different from a sheep entering the mouth of a tiger.
Chang Xi's eyes were cold: "Without further ado, leave a letter to Wen Yu and him, and we will leave today." ”
Xin Tong just can't wait to see her sister in the next moment, so naturally she won't refuse.
Chang Xi's few net worthies are in storage bags and can leave at any time, but Xin Tong has a lot of things to prepare, and he needs to go back and clean up. The two agreed to gather at the teleportation array leading to the outside world at the foot of Tianxiu Peak.
Seeing Xin Tong leave, Chang Xi's fingers on the stone table tapped rhythmically one by one, and began to think about how the Lin family should act.
The Lin family, who has been in Qingyang City with Pan Heng for a hundred years, is undoubtedly a fool's dream. Since the Lin family has the ability to be the head snake of Qingyang City, it is impossible to know nothing about immortal cultivators. Therefore, it may be difficult to achieve results only by virtue of the identity of the outer disciple of Qingyun Mountain, and in the end, it is necessary to see the truth under your hands.
Chang Xi looked at the iron willow bow that was broken in two in the storage bag, and his face was cloudy.
......
The disciple nameplate was submitted to the senior brother stationed at the foot of Tianxiu Peak, and the two of them could finally get down the mountain. After deliberately ignoring the thumbs up secretly given by several senior brothers, the two stepped into a mirror formation that reflected the reckless mountains and forests, and the formation rippled like lake ripples, and the figures of the two disappeared instantly.
When Chang Xi and Xin Tong opened their eyes again, the outlook was very different.
The giant trees hurried, and the mottled shadows of the trees under the scorching sun spread into the distance, obscuring the sky and the sun.
Chang Xi took a deep breath, only to feel a wave of heroism in his heart, and a long howl suddenly startled countless birds in the forest sea. Xin Tong, who was standing behind Chang Xi, was frightened by Chang Xi's throat without warning at first, but the heartfelt emotions in this long howl were carefully captured by Xin Tong. It's just that before she could carefully feel the meaning, her right hand was suddenly held by Chang Xi. With her long exclamation, she flew into the reckless mountains and forests with Chang Xi.
Chang Xi roughly calculated, it was about a thousand miles from here to Qingyang City. Considering that both of them are cultivators of the Qi Refining Realm, they can't travel thousands of miles overnight, so it seems that they will inevitably have to spend the night in the forest tonight.
At night, the stars and the moon are not visible in the dense forest that covers the sky and the sun, and the five fingers are not visible in the forest. But at this moment, under a towering giant tree in the dense forest, the fire that was lit was as dazzling as a small sun. Many hungry beasts in the forest didn't dare to take half a step closer when they saw this light and heat, and the demon beasts with a little shallow path on their bodies stopped after feeling the astonishing killing intent on one of their figures with their backs to them.
Because they found that even if they just took a step forward, the murderous aura on the figure with the sword on their waist was even stronger. The demon beast with slightly stronger eyesight could even see the corners of the young man's mouth quietly turned sideways, and the firelight shone a sharp inch on his waist. The demon beasts whimpered and lowered their heads and retreated, and in a few moments, the bright green light in the depths of the forest had disappeared.
"Hiss~ It's really comfortable to soak your feet in warm water after running for most of the day. Thanks to Brother Chang Xi, otherwise my feet would definitely have to be reimbursed!" I didn't know the dangerous scene of the tension in the forest just now, Xin Tong soaked in the wooden barrel and said with satisfaction.
She's afraid of the dark. But for some reason, the darkness that surrounded her tonight, and instinctively made her tremble, made her lose that fear. There was a burst of heat on his cheeks for no reason, Xin Tong hurriedly lowered his head, and weakly blamed the culprit on the warm water under his feet at just the right temperature, and suddenly there was a splash.
"It's just rough carpentry work that can't be put on the table, it's nothing. Chang Xi turned his face and quietly withdrew the sword at his waist to draw an inch of the rainbow, adding a few pieces of firewood to the fire. The firewood crackled, the skewers roasted on the surface of the golden hare meat next to the fire dripped big drops of fat, and the overflowing aroma smelled Xin Tong's stomach and rumbled.
Chang Xi smiled, took one of the strings and carefully rolled them with salt grains and cumin, and handed it to Xin Tong, who was drooling all over the ground, after confirming that the wooden branches were no longer hot. Xin Tong took a bite and found that this ordinary roast rabbit meat was so delicious. The slightly charred puff pastry on the surface and the rich aroma of the meat that penetrated into the bones made Xin Tong forget all about the eating appearance of a lady, and had to swallow her tongue as well.
A few skewers of roast rabbit meat were quickly eaten, and Chang Xi couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Xin Tong, who was eating with a mouth full of oil.
"I have to wake up early tomorrow, it's time to rest. Sleep in peace, I've got you covered. ”
Chang Xi wiped his waist and shook out a thick wolf skin that was not stained with dew and draped it on his shoulders. "The forest will get colder and colder after nightfall, this skin is the most cold, I used to rely on this for the winter, so I will send you. With that, Chang Xi took out a white fox fur with a somewhat random cut and handed it to Xin Tong, who was wrapped in a ball.
"White Fox Qiu, how can such a valuable thing be?"
Xin Tong was suddenly a little dizzy, a white fox fur without any variegation was worth a hundred gold on the market. But this one in front of me is a white fox fur with a whole body like snow, although the cutting is a little sloppy, but if the value is never less than a thousand gold, just give it to yourself like this?
Seeing this, Chang Xi smiled and said, "When I hunted that white fox, I did think about selling it for money. But at that time, I was just an ordinary Orion boy, and if I really sold this fox fur for money, I was afraid that I would never see the sun tomorrow again. So I never showed it to anyone else, and only secretly used it to warm up in the winter when it was too cold to bear. Now I don't need it, and it's awkward for a big man to wear a fox fur, isn't it? If you don't dislike it, I'll give it to you. ”
"How can you dislike it, what a fool. There was a faint warmth on the snow-white fox fur draped over his chest, and the firelight reflected Xin Tong's flushed cheeks, muttering in a voice that only he could hear. Gently closed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a happy arc.
After a while, Chang Xi looked at Xin Tong, who was already asleep, and then looked at the depths of the dark forest, and his gentle eyes suddenly became dangerous. Chang Xi sat there like this, without killing intent all the time, shocking every ill-intentioned aura in the forest, and the heavenly desolation on his waist also quietly flashed with a light of forest.
Until dawn.
