Some ancients sang: "Out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons." ”

It is said that the nobility of the lotus flower, although it grows out of the extremely foul-smelling mud, can still maintain its own nature and heart without being polluted, which is a symbol of a gentleman.

Whenever literati and artists talk about this flower, they all compete to call it for themselves.

In the end, more and more people painted lotus flowers, and more and more people wrote about lotus flowers, and the image of this kind of flower became a gentleman.

At the end of the day, there is nothing unique about the flower itself. All he knows is that it absorbs the abundant nutrients and water in the mud and grows, blooms in the summer, bears fruit in the fall, and withers and hides under the mud in the winter.

It does everything for its own survival, just like everyone else.

The first person saw him, compared him to a gentleman, and used him to express his enthusiasm and expectations for his own heart, and then aroused everyone's resonance.

It doesn't matter if one person says this, it doesn't matter if ten people say it, but if thousands of people say it, the flower has value and a soul.

This is also the origin and meaning of the hibiscus out of the water.

Chen Feng listened to books outside the school hall in the village when he was a child, although his parents said that he didn't listen seriously, and the teacher said that he didn't listen seriously, everyone who saw him felt that he was passing the time and spending his days in confusion by playing and studying there, and he really didn't feel anything in his ignorant heart at that time.

But that's because his spiritual aperture has not been opened, although he doesn't know what the meaning of those generals' avenues of etiquette and righteousness is, but he actually wrote them all down and recorded them in his unopened spiritual aperture.

But if someone asks him, he will also answer the things he remembers, if you don't understand it, you don't understand it, but it's always okay to memorize it.

Fortunately, no one asked him, otherwise Mr. Teaching might have doubted his teaching skills, or be scared out of heart disease by his unforgettable ability.

Where did such a prodigy come from in such a poor town like theirs? I'm afraid that the old man with the goatee has never seen it in his life, let alone Chen Feng, an idiot.

Chen Feng was a little distracted when he thought about these things.

Do your mother and father know?

Chen Feng probably didn't know.

My mother does her own housework all day long, and occasionally she gets tired of being with her father for a little time, although she also loves herself, but only in life.

He doesn't know much about these things, he only feels that his father and mother are very affectionate, and the two dogs' family next door quarrel every day, so he should be very envious of the harmonious life of his family.

But then everything was gone.

He was suddenly a little sad, and even the poem describing "lotus" that he had just recalled in his mind had forgotten a little.

Swing your head and don't think about it anymore, let's pay attention to what is in front of you.

The sun was scorching overhead, but the black mud on the woman's face didn't dry or fall, it seemed to be sticky, and it was really interesting.

The woman's eyes were closed, so her facial features were completely hidden under the black mud, and she couldn't see anything, if she wasn't still wearing a dress, she would even think that it was a muddy human head, but she hadn't built her facial features yet, it was just a prototype.

The man who had been coaxing before stopped talking, looked at this scene curiously, and sometimes whispered something to the person next to him.

In short, as a hundred and twenty-one vials of ointment were applied to the woman's face, everyone seemed to be waiting to see what effect would be in the end.

The peddler saw that everyone's emotions were almost brewing, and shouted loudly.

"Come on! Hibiscus will see it immediately, the eldest brother just now has prepared the silver, if it is really good, buy a bottle for your family to try?"

The big brother smiled.

"Don't tell me these false things first, let's see if your ointment has any effect, if it's really useful, it's not too late to sell it, right?"

The vendor smiled, brought another basin of water, and then guided the woman to the basin to wash her face in full view of everyone.

"Please submerge your face in the water. The vendor raised the basin a little higher so that the woman could wash her face.

Originally, they thought that the black mud on her face would be very viscous, but everyone was surprised to find that as soon as the woman's face touched the water, the black mud quickly dissolved into the water.

It was a little far away from the woman, and there was a big tall man in front of him blocking Chen Feng's vision, so he couldn't see what the woman's leaking skin looked like.

Those in the front row who watched carefully seemed to see some signs, but they still held their breath and waited for the moment when the miracle was revealed.

Chen Feng couldn't wait to fly right away.

But people from the Qi Refining Realm can't fly, but there are only people from the Qi Refining Realm in this place.

So everyone crowded closer and forward, and their feet almost stepped on the cloth used by the vendor to set up his stall.

"Okay! Done! Please raise your head and let everyone see what you look like now, everyone keep their eyes open. ”

"Wow!"

The woman jerked her head up from the water, accompanied by golden droplets and wet hair that glistened in the sun.

Everyone only felt a light flickering in front of them, and they narrowed their eyes.

"Wow!"

I don't know who exclaimed the first one, and then the exclamations spread one after another.

The figure and clothes of the woman next to the vendor have not changed, but the black mud on her face just now has red lips and white teeth, a high nose bridge, and her skin is like congealed fat, but her eyes are full of confusion.

Seeing the surprised eyes of everyone looking at her, she felt a little puzzled.

She had probably encountered similar eyes before, but most of them should have laughed at her ugly appearance, and now that this kind of vision has appeared, it must be that this black mud has made herself even uglier and more unbearable.

The more surprised everyone was, the more ashamed she became.

She also seems to be a practitioner, even if she is caught by the disciples of the Sword Pavilion patrolling the city, she will teach this arrogant peddler who does not know life and death a hard lesson.

Luckily, he squinted coldly at the vendor, who was obviously panicked, and when the palm containing a lot of strength was about to be split, he took out the magic weapon of saving his life - the mirror.

He placed the bronze mirror in front of the woman's eyes, and she was startled almost instantly.

"It's... It's ......"

She could barely believe her eyes, the person in front of her was herself.

But mirrors don't lie. She looked at her own reflection in the dark water again, and as she saw in the mirror, her face flushed and became excited.

"Ah!!h

With a scream that burst her eardrums, the woman ran away like crazy.

A group of men were even knocked down by this crazy woman, looking embarrassed.

The man who had just made the coax was already standing in the front row and witnessed the scene in front of him, and he looked extremely surprised and embarrassed at this moment.

Surprisingly, this ointment really has such a good effect, is it worth a hundred taels?

The embarrassing thing is that he is just an ordinary small businessman, and he can't take out this hundred taels to buy this ointment.

"Don't let that yellow-faced woman at home know about this. ”

He only had this thought in his mind at the moment.

"Otherwise, the deed of the family will not be kept......"

He remembered that his wife's love for beauty was far more exaggerated than her beauty.

If there is such a panacea that can rejuvenate her, I am afraid that she will have to give away all the money for her son's daughter-in-law.

"Can't let her know...... I need to hurry home......"

Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, he quietly turned around and slipped away.

The woman bumped Chen Feng's shoulder as she ran over.

Chen Feng felt some pain, so he judged that this woman was definitely not an ordinary weak woman.

And no one next to him knows him, which means that she is from out of town, just like herself.

Will......

He kept an eye on the woman, and there was something else on the woman.

For example...... A touch of blood.

It's his new skill.

His Blood-Refining Body not only gave him a more powerful Blood-Qi and the ability to devour Blood-Qi, but also gave him a more mysterious ability to perceive Blood.

It's like...... Wolf.

Yes, like a wolf.

Each flesh has a different quality and taste, and he can track that taste.

As long as they are alive, they will emit blood between actions, leaving traces in the places where they have moved. He's a ruthless hunter now.

However, he is not very familiar with his mastery of this ability, and if he wants to reach a more advanced level, he should need to train diligently.

But he must have been able to discern a flesh that was all too familiar—his own.

So he left a faint smell on the woman who "suddenly became beautiful" just now, and he could track her down if he had the opportunity later.

This kind of ointment is just a thing he made up casually, but he didn't expect this kind of thing to really appear and was bumped into by himself.

How strange he thought, he was very curious about it.

He had to figure it out.

Hawkers take advantage of everyone's surprise and naturally want to vigorously promote their products.

He's obviously a veteran in this area, and he's talking a lot.

"What about that big brother just now? Why is he gone? Did you go home to raise money? I also know that this one hundred taels is not a small amount for an ordinary family, but you can think about it, this can directly change people's appearance, and it is really expensive, I just made a little profit, everyone should understand......"

But Chen Feng had lost interest in this ointment, he was even more curious about the truth in it, and he knew that it was definitely not that simple.

"It's still early, if you want to buy it, you can buy it. The silver is given to you. He gave the money bag to Zhang Sansheng.

"I have something to do now, I'll see you in the Sword Pavilion later!"

With that, he also sneaked into the crowd. Zhang Sansheng was left alone.

The latter tapped the amount in the purse.

"Oh, that's enough, I can't buy a bottle......"

"What about people?!"
