Chapter 40: Secrets and Secrets
Xiao Qianqiu didn't go far, in the Wanzhang Meilin on the shore of Jinghu Lake, he squatted down, and in front of him was the yellow-eyed civet that had been with him and disappeared just now: "How could you run away? Picky eating is not a good habit!" His eyes crooked and smiling, and the civet purred and purred, and its ears were erected for a while, and then flat on the back of its head, and after a while, the civet took two steps outward, and its body was stretched into a slender strip in this posture, and it looked not so much like a cat, but like some kind of creeping creature, one of its claws held up in the air, and the other three paws stayed on the ground, and the whole "cat" remained motionless like a strange sculpture.

"In that case, let's go check it out. Xiao Qianqiu said, his tone was the opposite of his face, and there was no smile in it.
With a population of 4 million, Qingzhou City is one of the top five big cities in the country of 100 eyes, and the prosperity of the market is by no means comparable to the remote Shuanghe County, not only the goods produced in various states of the country are available, but also gold, silver, cinnabar from Danxia country, rare wood, herbs, animal skins from Dayi Mountain, coral, clams, pearls, tortoise shells, seafood, embroidery, silk, mirrors from Yunwu country, weapons, armor, Horse harnesses and famous stallions were brought here by merchants from all over the world to trade, and they sold the goods they brought from their home countries, and brought the sweet spring wine, lacquerware, and tung oil that were abundant in Qingzhou to their next stop. Therefore, the streets are often filled with characters of different shapes, and the natives of the city are used to it, whether it is the Danxia camel team ringing the camel bell, or the dark-skinned Yiren wearing big earrings, or the warriors of the Red Dragon Kingdom who are wrapped in steel and only have a pair of eyes exposed, they don't want them to pay any attention!
In such a situation, a single young man walking down the street would hardly attract anyone's attention, let alone notice how his shadow was different from that of ordinary people, although it was indeed possible for a person with strong eyesight to find that his shadow was slightly different from ordinary people after a period of careful observation, as if there was something dragging behind him.
Behind him is the most lively avenue around the lake in Qingzhou City, where tourists and foreign businessmen from all over the world take boats to visit Feilong Lake, enjoy the wonderland on Qiyun Peak, trade and buy and sell expensive goods - most of the customers who can afford expensive imported goods have mansions around Huanhu Avenue, or use the expensive restaurants and elegant seats along the avenue as places to rest and discuss business. Even the natives of the city, who do not have such financial resources, like to use their leisure time to drag their families to the lakeside to enjoy the scenery, they cannot afford to buy the roast whole sheep in the restaurant, but as long as they walk one or two streets behind the restaurant, there are well-priced barbecue stalls on the roadside, enough for them to pay for the whole family after enjoying the beautiful scenery on the lake.
Therefore, all kinds of shops in the streets and alleys behind Huanhu Avenue are also lined up one after another, and the voices are full of people, although they cannot be compared with the magnificence on Huanhu Avenue, but there is more of a hustle and bustle of the market. Several old diners lined up in front of the "Old Chen's Cake Shop" leisurely waiting for the latest secret baked cakes to be baked, and a child next to them hurriedly ran to the opposite side with a pot to make a pot of ice plucked white wine for their parents.
The young man was also in line waiting for the baked cakes to be baked, and he smiled and listened to the old diners talking about the old woman of the Chen family who had finally hugged her grandson recently, and that the old Chen family cake shop was about to welcome the third generation of cake makers, no, he knew what the old woman looked like when she was a babbling child, and he also knew that this cake shop had been making cakes for three generations at that time - at that time, this cake shop was not surnamed Chen, because she had no brothers, so this cake shop was surnamed Chen, and was about to usher in the third generation of cake makers surnamed Chen. He remembered that it had only happened sixty years ago, and it was as brief as a moment, and the white-bearded natives in front of him could not remember it at all.
True immortals are like this, they don't grow old and don't die, a hundred years, A thousand years have passed, mortals and ordinary monks are living and dying in front of their eyes, not to mention enemies, even relatives are difficult to remember the sound and smile, for example, Xiao Yinyun has been married three times and has given birth to four children, whether it is her husband or children have passed away for many years, only those few immortal true immortals who can accompany her to the end, just like Xiao Zaili once said, Xiao Xinglong's obsession is very stupid, as long as he achieves true immortals, who will remember the jade pendant in a hundred years? He himself may not remember. Even this truth can't be broken, where can he become a true immortal? But Xiao Yinyun, who has achieved a true immortal, also has something that she can't break, and the genius is not worth exchanging the entire Xiao family? But there is no immortal family in the world, he doesn't think that the Xiao family will be the exception, however, he is not the Xiao family, he has no Xiao family's bloodline, so he is indeed not as good as Xiao Yinyun in this regard, although he also made the same choice back then, but that is because ...... He can't break it himself!
"Guest, how much do you want!" the bakery owner's loud voice sounded, he smiled back, ordered a few copper coins, and bought a hot cake, at this moment, several girls wearing flowers on their heads held wicker baskets, and walked towards the alley: "Hey, I remember that the birthday of the god of flowers has passed?" He asked the owner of the cake shop, and the boss replied while rolling the dough: "They are here to repay their wishes, don't you say, this god of flowers, there are really a lot of girls who believe, and those who sell flowers are really rich, if only she designated my family's cakes as offerings... Several customers around laughed: "Lao Chen, you have earned enough, let the flower seller also earn some." ”
"Are there a lot of girls who believe in the god of flowers?"
"Not really. ”
But she doesn't make money and doesn't give away children, how can so many people believe it. ”
"You don't understand, I've heard that worshipping her can get you the best of luck - so the girls worship the most. ”
"Oh, in that case, I'm going to check it out. The young man said with a smile, and the chubby cake shop owner also laughed: "You don't look like a wishful man—our girls in Qingzhou City are very picky!"
"How do you know I'm not from Qingzhou City?"
"Because everyone in Qingzhou City knows about this-I heard that even the girls of the True Immortal Xiao family believe it!" Speaking of the true immortal Xiao, the attitude of the cake shop owner and the people around him became serious, after all, this is not the remote Shuanghe, but the Qingzhou City with Qiyun Peak above the head, every mortal habitually maintains respect for the immortal family, of course, they will worship the gods every day in order to seek wealth or ask for children, that is just because the immortal family will not care about this little thing of mortals, they will not question the rule of the immortal family for their own beliefs, on the contrary, they regard Shinto as a legitimate supplement to the rule of the immortal family, and most temples will show this in a conspicuous place no matter how much they hope in their hearts, such as dressing up the goddess as a fairy。
So, what kind of secret is hidden behind the flower god who suddenly rises up and shelters the fleeing monsters?
What Xiao Qianqiu needs to figure out is exactly this.
"Sister, the ancestors haven't really given up on you yet. Xiao Rushi said again.
"Shut up! What do you know!" Xiao Ruge was about to explode, yes, she was really going to explode, Rushi actually went to plead with the true immortals for her! What kind of brain is he! At this time, using this kind of house fighting technique, if it is a girl, Xiao Ruge must be regarded as a fierce rival in life, really, when he has already mastered the overall advantage, he pretends to sell his sister a good and pretends to be a virtuous sister, which is indeed a powerful step to please the elders, but Rushi is a boy! He thought that by doing this, the ancestors would think that he could tolerate his sister generously, and he would definitely tolerate the concubines generously in the future, so he would choose a wishful husband for him?
He's so confused! Even if he doesn't know the truth, he's going to be confused!
You must not tell him the secret she saw three years ago! Xiao Ruge secretly made up her mind, everyone thought that she had lived up to the kindness of her ancestors, who knew that she was the one who knew the truth!
The truth that Grandpa Tai can't come out of retreat! The secret of Grandpa Xinglong's whereabouts is unknown! She knows it all!
Grandpa Xinglong's diary says it all!
