Chapter 12: The Pearl
On the first day of the seventh lunar month, a Taoist aunt dressed in plain clothes suddenly came in front of the Zhao family, and the Taoist aunt was not in front of the Zhao family for a while, and the door of the Zhao family suddenly opened.
A woman timidly walked towards Daogu, the woman only bowed her head, did not dare to look up at Daogu, the woman walked a few steps, and then probed back, as if reluctant, but when she turned around, the door of the Zhao family had been closed again, and the door with the black lion's head was locked tightly.
This woman is Zhao Xianglian, He Ping watched Zhao Xianglian leave step by step under the window of the guest room, thinking that she should be going to practice in the Water Moon Gate.
Zhao Xianglian has a weak temperament since he was a child, and he can't speak, fortunately, he is a poor man, Zhao Xianglian has the cultivation qualification of the three grades, which is rare in the Zhao family, and there are only dozens of people in the entire Zhao family who have cultivation qualifications, and almost all the cultivators who have achieved cultivation are foreign surnames, and Zhao Xianglian's three-grade qualifications are already outstanding.
Zhao Xianglian's three-grade qualifications could have broken through to the Qi refining period on her own, but Zhao Xianglian may have insufficient congenital meridians and could not break through to the Qi refining period on her own, and when Zhao Xianglian was born, Hu's predecessors were no longer there, and there was no Tongmai Fruit that could be preserved, so although Zhao Xianglian had also practiced for ten years, she still failed to break through the Qi refining period.
Zhao Yi originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to pick the Tongmai Fruit and let Zhao Xianglian go to Yishui Mountain to practice, lest her temperament make it difficult for her to survive in the cultivation world in the future, knowing that the family would never be able to shelter her for a lifetime.
But he hasn't caught up with this experience yet, it happened that a few days ago, the overhaul of Shuiyuemen came to Yishui, and the Zhao family hurriedly contacted the overhaul and sent a lot of elixir treasures, plus Zhao Xianglian was already qualified to accept the qualifications of Shuiyuemen's apprenticeship, so the overhaul of Shuiyuemen agreed to accept Zhao Xianglian.
As for Zhao Xianglian's meridian problem, the overhaul also said that it was not a big deal, and asked the Zhao family to wait, after she finished doing things here, she brought Zhao Xianglian back to the sect on the first day of the seventh month, just telling her not to make a noise.
When Zhao Xianglian left, she only saw the closed wooden door, and did not see her mother Sun hiding her face and crying bitterly behind the door, her father's reluctance, and He Ping's regret.
After entering the sect, it is difficult to come back, her parents are mortals, but she is a monk, this is the farewell of Xianfan, this side may become the last side, and it will be unforgettable.
He Ping closed the window, bowed his head and said nothing, he didn't know if he could see Zhao Xianglian again, and he didn't know where he would be if he could.
Just as he was in a trance, the maid's knock on the door rang into my ears.
"He Gongzi, it's time for breakfast. "The maid's name is Xiaocui, she was sold to the Zhao family as a maid since she was a child, and she didn't know what her background was, so she had to stay in the Zhao family.
"Trouble Miss Cui. ”
Breakfast is a bowl of porridge, but it is not ordinary white rice porridge, but yellow rice, which looks like there is still a little aura, and a bowl is enough to satisfy the stomach.
"He Gongzi, the head of the family said that when Gongzi finishes drinking porridge, he will invite you to go to the main hall. ”
"Miss Cui, I know. ”
Sure enough, as He Ping expected, Zhao Yi wanted to find him, just to pick the Tongmai Fruit and his party.
When he came to the main hall of the Zhao family, there were already several Zhao family disciples there, and He Ping had seen most of them, but he couldn't name them.
They were talking and laughing there, as if they didn't know that Zhao Xianglian had left, but Zhao Xianglian had stayed at home for many years, and it was common for them to fail to notice.
After waiting for a while, a total of eight people including Zhao Ping had arrived.
Zhao Yi coughed and said, "People have arrived at the ......."
As soon as Zhao Yi's voice fell, he was interrupted by a hairy boy, but He Ping recognized this person, it was Zhao Yi's youngest grandson, Zhao Wei'an.
"Grandpa, Sister Xianglian hasn't come yet!"
Only then did the others find out that Zhao Xianglian was not there, and they also coaxed.
"Xianglian is in poor health, I can't go to Yishui Mountain, don't talk about her anymore," Zhao Yi was still majestic in front of this group of Zhao family disciples, "The day after tomorrow is the day when the fruit of Tongmai is ripe, and you will go to pick it later." ”
"Zhao Weiquan, you have practiced the longest, you will take the lead in this trip, here is a rubbing of the map of Yishui Mountain drawn by my Zhao family, you can put it away. ”
"Zhao Weiguan, if you practice second, you will be responsible for checking the movement of the beast poison, and this bottle of detoxification pill will be handed over to you for safekeeping, if someone is bitten by the poison, only one pill will be fine. ”
......
"Zhao Wei'an, you have the shortest cultivation, so you are responsible for picking the Tongmai fruit. ”
As for He Xiaoyou, it is to replace Xiang Lian, just follow in the middle. ”
The Zhao family has naturally found the safest road for several generations, drawing it as a map, it is difficult to make mistakes, if it is said that there will be casualties in the first few times, there has been no mistake in recent years.
He Ping's cultivation is the lowest, and even Zhao Wei'an has been cultivating for ten years, so letting He Ping walk in the middle is also for him.
He Ping naturally had no objection, he knew that he was a few catties and a few taels, although Zhao Weiquan and the others had not yet stepped into the Qi refining and could not control the aura of heaven and earth, but their physical strength was no different from the Qi refining period, and even they could break through the Qi refining period at any time, just to suppress themselves from breaking through in order to pick the Tongmai Fruit this time.
After that, Zhao Yi let everyone leave, leaving only Zhao Weiquan alone, as if he had something important to explain.
He Ping was about to go back to the room to practice, but was stopped by a person, He Ping looked back and saw that it was Zhao Wei'an.
"Brother He Ping, Brother He Ping!" Zhao Wei'an shrank behind He Ping with a sneer, and said in a low voice, "Brother He Ping, can you do the little brother a favor." ”
"Say yes. He Ping is still willing to help with small favors.
"Brother He Ping, you can help me deliver a letter to someone. Zhao Wei'an looked left and right to observe whether anyone was staring at him, "Please help me send a letter to Miss Fang from Liuhualou." ”
When it came to Liuhualou, his voice was already extremely low, but fortunately, He Ping could still barely hear it clearly.
"You asked me to go to the Qinglou to deliver a letter?" He Ping of Liuhualou also heard of it, it was the famous Qinglou in Yishui City, He Ping was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Zhao Wei'an was young, and he had already made good friends in the Qinglou, which can be described as a young man's ambition.
"Be quiet, be quiet!" Zhao Wei'an eagerly asked He Ping to lower his voice.
"I promised Miss Fang that I would send a love letter every ten days, but unfortunately I went to Liuhualou and was found at home and grounded, so I had to trouble Brother He Ping. Zhao Wei'an had a pleading look on his face, he never wanted to lose his trust to that Fang girl, and he didn't want his brothers and sisters to know about it, "Brother He Ping, as long as you help me, I will give you a good thing." ”
"Oh, what kind of good thing?" He Ping is by no means a corrupt person, and it is not impossible to help Zhao Wei'an go to the Qinglou, he originally planned to help Zhao Wei'an with this.
"This is it. Zhao Wei'an took out a bead from his arms, the bead was transparent and colorless, an inch big, I don't know what it was.
"Brother He Ping, don't underestimate this bead!" Zhao Wei'an looked proud, "This is a treasure I picked up on the street, although it is only colorless now, but it will shine at night, very strange, I heard people say that this is the pearl of the night, a precious treasure." ”
"But as for the delivery of the letter, I will do it casually, and you can take the beads yourself. ”
"No, Brother He Ping, you must accept it, otherwise I won't be happy in my heart!"
"It's useless for me to take it. ”
"Brother He Ping, it's also feasible for you to sell it. ”
After some prevarication, He Ping finally couldn't resist Zhao Wei'an.
"In that case, I will help you to take it. He Ping took the night pearl and a letter, and put it in his arms, the night pearl and other things are flashy, but if you meet something you like, you can also sell it for a good price.
"I'll go when I can. ”
"Thank you Brother He Ping for that. Zhao Wei'an heard He Ping's promise and left happily.
He Ping didn't know that Zhao Wei'an was a big ghost, and he was proud at this time, "How can I give him such a precious thing as the Night Pearl, when I happened to find that there was a Night Pearl on the stall, I bought a few more of the same beads in order to hide people's eyes, so I gave him one, and when he finished sending the letter and found that it was wrong, I flatly denied it, and he couldn't take me." ”
