Chapter 13: Anomaly
"Senior Sister Pan, if it's okay, let's take a walk together. I was about to go to see Sister Baoqin. "I stretched out my hand to invite.
But there was a strange look in Pan Hagi Sakura's eyes.
"Okay, I'm about to go see this Sister Baoqin. "The last two words, sister, are slightly heavy, just the extent that I can hear them without disgusting.
My sister, Pan Haoying, is 17 years old this year, Xie Baoqin is only 13 years old, Pan Haoying is 24 years old, and Xie Baoqin is only 27 years old. How can Pan Hagi Sakura be my sister's.
But the truth of the world is so wrong!
Xie Baoqin's surname is Xie, and it was the ancestor who pointed out that she should be married to me, so naturally she is the main room; Pan Haoying's surname is Pan, but it is just my little tricks and Uncle Xie Kang's petty selfishness that I have got my current status, which seems to be a little higher but is actually unstable, so she can only be my concubine at most.
What if you are unwilling?
What about having an idea?
"Has Senior Brother Ni been harassing you again recently?" I thought of something and asked casually.
"He's been looking for me more than a dozen times in the year. But then I saw that the senior brother had been guiding me, and I was improving again, so he gradually stopped bothering me. ”
"Oh, is it?" I was noncommittal. Senior Brother Ni, who was the original Pan Hagiying's clan who wanted to send her over, is now ranked fifth. And the reason why Taishan City is so angry with him is also very simple, because Senior Brother Ni's master is the head of the southern jurisdiction.
As mentioned earlier, among the twenty-five foundation building uncles of the second generation, nineteen survived. Seven stayed on Lianyun Peak to see the overall situation, and there were twelve senior uncles, who were divided into various places to guard. Either he governs a large area of land, seven or eight feudal states, or he controls a certain mine or spiritual vein, and controls everything that Lian Yunfeng's subordinates can control.
Senior Brother Ni's master is my fourth uncle, also surnamed Ni. Although he was born in the same humble family as me, he was selected from the family of medicine pickers under the mountain when his ancestor Xie Daoqing settled in Lianyun Peak fifty years ago, but after fifty years, he has been a great monk at the senior level of foundation building, has experienced many ups and downs, and is also a heroic and outstanding figure. His family had become independent more than thirty years ago when he had built the foundation, occupied a large area of mountains and forests in the south, and established the Herb Collecting City. Since he left Lianyun Peak ten years ago, he has been stationed in the Herb Harvesting City, controlling the fourteen feudal states near the southern swamps, and is the most extensive and powerful of the twelve town guards.
And on Lianyun Peak, Uncle Ni's disciples were also very competitive, occupying three of the top ten seats. The fifth junior brother, the seventh junior brother, and the tenth junior brother, all surnamed Ni. There are enough twenty people who are attached to these three Ni junior disciples below, and it can be said that they are one of the most powerful groups among the third generation of disciples. Those junior brothers and sisters who were born in the fourteen feudal states under Uncle Ni's rule were few who were not controlled by them.
Moreover, the mountain city of the Chen family, where I was born, happened to be outside the jurisdiction of Uncle Ni, next to each other. It turned out that it was said to be assigned to his name, but it was robbed by my master. It is said that because of this, Uncle Ni and my master were very unhappy.
"Yes. Senior brother, after I got twenty-four places in the last school examination, he sent someone to show me goodwill. He said that in the past, it was all the people below who were messing around, and when he saw that he liked me, he provoked my family to prepare to sacrifice me to him. He said he had punished them harshly and sent me many, many gifts. ”
"Did you take it?"
"I took it. The rune paper I gave you last time was given to me by him. ”
Sure enough, it's so smart! I said where did you get so many high-quality rune paper with a grass pattern, it turned out to be something from Senior Brother Ni's house. You give me something, and he can't guess about the relationship between you and me.
The Qionghua Hall covers an area of more than 70 acres, there are 30 acres of Qionghua trees in front, there are six residences in the back, and in the middle is a large hall for gathering, preaching and cultivating. But apart from me, the only people who live here are Xie Zheng and Liu Xiaoqin. After all, this is the closest place to the residence of the ancestor Xie Daoqing, and naturally only those who are approved by her can live here. Even Liu Guanghe can only live in the Songfeng Palace, which is close to the second master. But Xie Zheng is away all the year round, and there are still only me and Liu Xiaoqin living in Qionghua Palace.
Walking past a bunch of flowers and trees, in front of it is the place chosen by Xie Baoqin. Sure enough, it was the residence next to Xie Zheng, a very good place. Behind it is a hill full of peach trees, and now it is full of peaches, which is a good time to pick.
There were a lot of people around Xie Baoqin, and a large group of junior sisters were making fun of her, chattering and talking nonsense. This said that she climbed up to me, it can be said that she climbed the high branch all of a sudden, and she was secretly talking about things with Pan Hagi Sakura. But that one said that the foundation-building method I gave her was the foundation, and that it would be the foundation to soar and cultivate to a higher level in the future. Others said that I must have hidden a lot of good things, you must know that the master only favors me alone, how can he not open a small stove for me, obviously he is eccentric. But they were slapped back, saying that the partiality is also because of my talent and spiritual root, who called their talent is not good, their understanding is not enough, and the spiritual root is very miserable?
When they saw me coming, they all changed their faces and greeted me with joy. He boldly pulled my sleeve and asked for a gift, saying that it was good luck and that there was going to be a banquet in the evening. Even Xie Baoqin's little girl was coaxed into a daze, and they were coaxed together.
I just smiled. took out the gift that had been prepared a long time ago from his sleeve, the jade slip that had been prepared last night and stored the "Qingxiao Lei Yuan Jue", and handed it to the little girl, and then those coaxing guys were coaxed away by the old servants of the Xie family beside Xie Baoqin.
"Uncle Biao, I worked hard for you just now, and this bad guy made you do it. "I went into the room and sat down, and bowed my hand to the stout old man who was at the head of the house.
Xie Biao, the leader of the warriors under Xie Zheng, has now returned to the mountain to raise and is the head of Xie Zheng's residence in the Qionghua Palace. He likes to soak in the library when he has nothing to do, and I have borrowed his private collection of books from him a few times, and I still deal with Xie Zheng through him.
Xie Zheng was the great Sima representing the authority of Lianyun Peak at the foot of the mountain, in charge of the affairs of hundreds of mountain cities in the fifty-four feudal kingdoms in the secular world, although he was constrained by the twelve garrison uncles, and even more involved in Lianyun Peak, he always collected a lot of good things. And many of these good things are hidden in his residence in the Qionghua Palace. Among them are the books that Xie Zheng collected from the mountain, and it is said that there are tens of thousands of volumes. Although the good things in it have long been intercepted, only some fragments, orphans, broken books, and fake books remain, and there are many miscellaneous books that have no value for repair, but for me, it is already okay.
After all, with me, with the help of my Chen Mountain City and my own efforts, I wouldn't have been able to collect so many things.
The old man looked at where I was sitting and smiled.
Hehe, I'm sitting in the first place, and of course I'm sitting in the first place. Not only did I take it for granted, but Xie Biao also took it for granted, Xie Baoqin didn't say anything after saying "ah", even Pan Haoying, who came in with me, also took it for granted.
"Uncle Biao, in the future, Senior Sister Baoqin's affairs will depend on you more. She is too young, and her family is low, so she can't get any effective manpower in the family. Since Brother Xie Zheng is the elder of Senior Sister Baoqin, then I can only ask you. ”
I brought tea to the old man.
The old man took my teacup very calmly and drank it all, feeling happy.
I continued to make tea, picked up the teacup, and asked in a deep voice: "Uncle Biao, you have a lot of channels under the mountain, have you heard any rumors recently?"
The old man hesitated this time, but he still caught the teacup, put it beside him, and asked, "I don't know what the water watchman wants to know?"
The old man didn't dare to think of me as a child like Xie Baoqin. In the past year, I have fought wits and courage with him, and it can be said that in addition to my junior sister on Lianyun Peak, he, the old man who is my neighbor in Qionghua Palace, knows my evil spirit best. Seeing what I said just now, Xie Baoqin's family is very low, isn't my family lower than her? Xie Baoqin's family can't come up with competent people, and my family can't come up with people, and every month I can send four hundred taels of silver, three low-grade spirit stones, and offering materials worth one thousand taels of silver, which is already doing my best. Now Xie Baoqin has six female warriors and six elderly maids by his side, and there are thirty servants outside, what do I have by my side?
But things can't be calculated so simply. If it is really that simple, why did Xie Baoqin come to accommodate me? Why did the three elders of the Xie family come to rub my food? Why did the master only favor me in the third generation?
"About that Uncle Ni in the south. Uncle Biao should have also seen this Senior Sister Pan Hagiying beside me, and there is a bit of a grudge between her and Senior Brother Ni. Today, she has just been accepted as a disciple by Uncle Xie Kang, and she may also move to Qionghua Hall in the future. ”
I'm saying it's simple, but it's not that simple.
But Xie Biao understood.
"Then I want to congratulate this Miss Pan, there is nothing else on the old man, only this thing is still a little valuable, so it will be regarded as a congratulatory gift for the old man. When my lord comes back, I will prepare a big gift for my lord. Xie Biao took out a small wooden box from his body and placed it solemnly in front of Pan Haoying.
Yes, inside the wooden box is a bracelet, a very versatile low-level magic weapon with several wind spells attached.
"Boy Guanshui, my lord came back a few days ago and has been busy with various things, and I don't know. But I heard my grandfather say that the south seems to be a little unstable. But it's not our side that's wrong, it's said to be a place further south of Taishan Castle. ”
"Do you know what it is?"
"This can't actually be hidden from the boy who watched the water. In a few days at the latest, the mission will be issued by the Hall of Good Merit, and Childe will understand it at a glance. I heard that there was a problem in a sealed place in the south, and something leaked out, polluting a large piece of the ground, and there were many more demons and monsters. ”
"How much?" I asked.
"I don't know about this old man. But maybe so much more. ”
The old man held up five fingers.
"Five! That's a big problem. ”
