Chapter 103: Ice and Snow Fall into the Mortal Dust (8)
Compared with those brave and ruthless scoundrels, Brother Qiao has lived for a long time, long enough for him to learn how to judge the situation and avoid risks.
And of course he wished he could live longer.
There is a deadly taboo in the world that cannot be seen, and if you don't avoid it honestly, it will often really kill people.
That is, never provoke a single dog.
This single dog is an obscure synonym for some mysterious men and women who are not very old. One day they suddenly appeared on the rivers and lakes, with no origin and past, walking alone in the rivers and lakes, looking gentle and harmless on the outside and almost never barking, but once completely provoked, they will instantly turn into Tibetan mastiffs, and they will never let go when they bite their prey, and often uproot the entire organization or family of the offender.
Of course, Big Brother Qiao and the others would not know that these so-called single dogs were actually disciples of the upper courtyard who had entered Hongchen.
Of course, there is no rule that says that disciples can't go together, but they are bound by the conditions of the immortal bones, and the number of low-level monks is not much, and those who can go to the stage of refining the heart in the realm are even rarer, so they can rarely get together a partner who can just go together.
But Osmanthus is too young, and Big Brother Qiao didn't associate her with this taboo at all.
Aunt Zhu Yi's age is very close to the legendary senior single dog, and her mysterious appearance and slightly strange attitude made Brother Qiao secretly beat the drum in his heart, and for a moment he wanted to give up the whole plan to deal with Osmanthus on the spot. But all this was just his guess, and the woman didn't show anything special after all, and even if he was willing to spit out everything he got in his hands and give it back, no one else might agree.
Here, Brother Qiao was still fighting fiercely in his heart, but the two monks there were whispering in the voice.
"You don't have to be upset, it is said that at least five out of every ten disciples who come out to experience have been tried by mortals to sell them into the Qinglou or the hall in various ways. I think your house is quite high-end, and the layers of traps are also exquisite and interesting, so it's not a shame for you to write it in the monthly report to the fairy house. ”
Aunt Zhu Yi couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this, recalling that there were indeed many similar plots in those popular books, but she didn't expect that she had caught up with the trend of cultivating immortals and enjoyed the orthodox heroine treatment. Very good, my house is quite high-end, and it feels really good.
It is interesting to note that this mysterious woman knows the routine monthly report of the disciples of the Immortal Academy. What is her origin? is she a real Immortal Dao predecessor or another big brother Qiao?
By this time, the doorkeeper had come to her senses. In her eyes, the woman in red clothes was simply the fat meat she sent to the door, and she hurriedly invited them inside very diligently, and muttered in her mouth: "Since they are all relatives, please come in and serve tea." My second mother is the most generous and hospitable, you are the guests brought by Brother Qiao, if you want to find any family heirlooms, just tell her. ”
Aunt Zhu Yi didn't say much, nodded and took Osmanthus by the hand and followed up.
If it comes, it will be safe, and Osmanthus has no choice at this time, not to mention that even if the dragon and crouching tiger are hidden in this small courtyard, it is not necessarily more dangerous than the side of the woman in Zhu Yi. She simply smiled slightly, lifted the corner of her skirt and crossed the threshold.
There is no imaginary garden full of spring or warblers singing and dancing in the door, there is a sandwich passage between the two high courtyard walls behind the wall, the ground is paved with a color of terrazzo floor tiles, and there is a hanging flower arch every few steps on the powder wall on both sides, and I don't know where they lead.
The mother-in-law who watched the gate only sent them to the door inside, and there was already a big girl wearing a green and yellow silk skirt and neatly combed hair. Her cheeks were round, and she smiled very pleasantly, and after curtsiding, she led them all the way through the archway, along the verandah, and then turned a rosewood screen, and then saw three small and delicate halls.
At this point, Osmanthus's headache disappeared, and she looked at the furnishings in this hall with interest. I saw that the front was a carved couch, on which there was a small table of red lacquer and a pair of autumn fragrance pillows. There are four circle chairs on the left and right, all of which are wearing half-new silver-red flowered chairs. The beauties on both sides shrugged their shoulders and inserted new flowers and plants in the bottles, and the walls were also hung with calligraphy and paintings of autumn grass insects.
After the maid invited a few guests to sit down, she took the silver and flicked it in the smoker, and the osmanthus smelled a fine sweet fragrance.
Since stepping into this courtyard, I have not felt the frivolous atmosphere that should be in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, but it is fresh and elegant. Even this room is not surprising, it is a common place of hospitality in the boudoir, but it is more exquisite. Only the incense in the house has an indescribable charming, as if it is not in the hearts of people.
She frowned and closed her breath, for fear that there was something strange in the incense. But seeing that the woman in the red clothes still looked cold, as if she didn't notice anything unusual, but Brother Qiao seemed a little restless.
After a while, there was a sound of soft footsteps at the door, and when the little girl opened the curtain, a slender and delicate young woman walked in.
Osmanthus saw that this Erniang was wearing a lotus silk dress, with a white gauze trimmed skirt tied underneath, which was neither enchanting nor amorous, but like a daily young woman from a good family, she couldn't help but be stunned.
After seeing this woman, Brother Qiao's face turned pale, and he could barely sit still, and asked with a moan, "Wu Niang, why are you?" Erniang, isn't she here today?"
Wu Niang didn't look at him out of the corner of her eyes, but apologized to the woman in Zhu Yi and Osmanthus and said, "There are many sisters in the family, and some things have been delayed." If you don't greet your guests, don't be surprised if you're rude. ”
In the eyes of Osmanthus, the Zhuyi woman's response skills were not much better than those of Senior Brother Mao, so she only waved her hand and said, "I don't blame you." Don't worry. ”
Wu Niang's smiling face did not fluctuate at all, she was still so gentle and kind, and continued to greet her: "Concubine Liu Wu Niang, our sisters are the masters here. Haven't asked the two distinguished guests for their surnames yet?"
The woman in Zhu Yi and the osmanthus replied together:
"Don't be expensive, surnamed Zhu. ”
"Free of expensive, surnamed Hua. ”
The two insincere people glanced at each other, and finally remembered that they had just recognized their aunt and nephew, and explained in unison: "I follow my mother's surname." ”
At this time, even Wu Niang almost couldn't control her expression, her muscles twitched slightly for a while, and then she smiled and complimented: "I see." The virtuous aunts and nephews are all full of style, and they sit together like sisters, which is really envious of me. ”
