Chapter 9: A Girl with a Burst of Curiosity
Qingyan Castle, the original home.
In the huge living room, on the seat in the center, sat a middle-aged man with a gloomy face, dressed in a yellow brocade robe, embroidered with a golden word "Yuan" on his chest, rubbing the teacup on the table with his right hand, and did not speak for a long time.
Below, Yuan Yong knelt respectfully, and on the left and right sides were several old men, these people were the elders of the original family. There was silence in the living room, and the atmosphere was deadly.
Yuan Yong buried his head to death, after losing the Yuan Stone, he should not have returned to his original home, but he was injured and penniless, if he did not return to his original home, no one would treat him, and it would be a dead end.
"Yuan Yong, the loss is so serious, do you still have the face to come back?" Yuan Lie frowned slightly, said expressionlessly, and with a slight force in his right hand, the teacup made of fine iron was crushed by him.
Yuan Yong's heart jumped suddenly, and he didn't dare to refute, so he could only admit his mistake: "My subordinates know their mistakes, and I ask the head of the family to punish them heavily!"
"If the heavy punishment is useful, do you think you can still live until now?" Yuan Lie's words were mixed with anger, which frightened Yuan Yong like rain, and his body trembled.
"Elders, tell me what you think. Yuan Lie turned his head to look at the elders in the left and right seats, the elders looked at each other, and their eyes focused on a white-haired elder, this was the great elder of the Yuan family, Yuan Yue.
Yuan Yue opened his mouth and said: "The head of the family, the original family has family rules, and those who fail to perform the task will be killed with a cane." However, ......" changed the conversation and continued: "This time the stakes are very high, dozens of yuan stones are not a small amount, if we can get our hands on it, this year's income can at least triple it." The Yuan Stone has been snatched away, and we must take it back. Only Yuan Yong's whereabouts are known, Yuan Yong, are you willing to make up for your mistakes and recapture Yuan Shi?"
"Yes, subordinates are willing!" Yuan Yong immediately kowtowed.
"That being the case, Great Elder, you lead your men and enter the Necromantic Abyss with Yuan Yong, and be sure to capture the Yuan Stone, if you fail, you know the consequences. Yuan Lie looked at Yuan Yue and Yuan Yong, and commanded in a cold voice.
"Yes!"
After Yuan Yue received the order, he and Yuan Yong got up and left together, preparing to go to the Necromantic Abyss......
Necromancy, a valley.
The sky is clear, the sky is cloudless, the birds chirp, the flowers are blooming, the fish are carefree swimming in the pool, and the valley is peaceful.
"Let's go!" Ling Yun said happily, her big smart eyes revealed joy, where there was a little bit of the appearance of a young lady, she was purely a young and lively little girl.
Qianyu nodded in agreement, after two days of getting along, he had a preliminary understanding of Ling Yun, Ling Yun's personality can only be described in one word - strange!
Sometimes she can be dignified and elegant, with a noble temperament, and has the demeanor of everyone's ladies. Sometimes she is unscrupulous, lively, like an ignorant child. Sometimes she is willful, sometimes brutal, one second she is still boasting, the next second she is silent, quiet as a virgin.
Such a contradictory personality combined with one person, which surprised Qianyu, for the first time in so many years, he had seen such a "strange" girl as Ling Yun, the girl in his impression was either as kind and considerate as Qian Yuying, or as simple and macho as Qian Tao's sister Qian Shengnan, machismo, and without girlishness.
In fact, Ling Yun's character can be described in two words, that is, casual, no matter what she does, she will follow her own temperament, shake her head when she meets something she doesn't like, she won't hide it, and when she meets someone she likes, she will express it directly, and she won't be shy at all.
"Qianyu, does a unicorn really have only one horn?" As she was heading towards her destination, Ling Yun met a unicorn and asked curiously.
"Hmm. Qianyu was a little speechless, the unicorn must have only one horn, do you need to ask?
"Qianyu, do bone-eating bees like to eat human flesh?"
"You can go and try. ”
"Qianyu, are the teeth of the saber-toothed tiger really as sharp as a sword?"
"No, it's sharper than a sword. ”
"Qianyu, Blood Pig ......"
"Miss Ling, can I ask you not to ask?"
Qianyu was a little impatient, and at the same time felt helpless.
"Okay. Ling Yun was a little disappointed.
After being quiet for a while, Ling Yun began to ask again, "Qianyu, is the Winged Lion King really able to fly?"
"No, it won't. ”
"Qianyu, are the ears of the six-eared spirit monkey round or square?"
"Neither. Jagged. ”
"They have six ears, so they must have good hearing, right?"
"No, they're all deaf. ”
Qianyu answered Ling Yun's questions casually, Ling Yun's curiosity was bursting, and she asked countless questions along the way, which made Qianyu's head bigger.
The two of them slowly approached the interior of the Necromantic Abyss, and encountered many violent beasts along the way, although Qianyu was very careful, he was still attacked by the beasts, and in a hurry, he could only join forces with Ling Yun to kill the beasts. When encountering a strong one, Qianyu first released the medicinal powder to stun the fierce beast, and then Ling Yun slashed it.
There was still a long way to go from the destination marked on the map, and the sky was gradually darkening, so Qianyu decided to stay for the night, and after choosing the area, he would build a bonfire and feed on the fierce beasts he had killed during the day.
Ling Yun hadn't fully adapted to the jungle life, and she wasn't interested in animal meat until she was hungry all day, and she couldn't do it anymore, so she reluctantly ate a little beast meat to replenish her physical strength.
Qianyu comforted her: "I was also like you at the beginning, I couldn't get used to eating animal meat, this is normal, it takes time to get used to." ”
Ling Yun nodded with a wry smile, and suddenly asked, "Qianyu, with your talent, it's a pity to stay in the Necromantic Abyss, have you considered going to the Cave Heaven Blessed Land in the Northern Netherworld to further your studies?"
"Cave Heaven Blessed Land?" Qianyu smiled faintly, "Forget it." ”
Dongtian Blessed Land is a monastic school, similar to the sect, but different from the sect. The sect occupies a unique position and has a strong bias, but it remains neutral and recruits disciples, who only need to pass the corresponding assessment to become a member of it, regardless of background, only look at talent and strength.
There are two Cave Heaven Blessed Lands in the Northern Netherworld - Wanyang Holy Land and Thousand Moon Cave Heaven.
"Qianyu, why are you always not confident?" Ling Yun asked.
“...... I don't know. ”
"My father told me that when you are born as a human being, you should aim high, work hard, and never look down on yourself, even if you are a salted fish, there is a time to turn over. ”
"If the salted fish wants to turn over, how can it be so easy?" Qianyu laughed self-deprecatingly, like his current state, I'm afraid it's not as good as the salted fish......
Seeing Qianyu's sad face, Ling Yun stopped asking questions and changed the topic: "Qianyu, if you have such an opportunity, how will you choose?"
"Which of the Wanyang Holy Land is more famous than the Thousand Moon Cave Heaven?" Qianyu asked rhetorically.
"Of course, it's the Holy Land of Ten Thousand Suns. ”
"I choose the Thousand Moon Cave Heaven. Qianyu thought about it for a while, and then made a choice.
"Why?" Ling Yun couldn't understand.
"I don't know. Qianyu replied, "Maybe it's because I like the name more." ”
When Ling Yun heard this, she didn't answer immediately, and remained silent unexpectedly, as if she was thinking about something.
"Tonight you will keep vigil. After filling his stomach, Qianyu turned his head and said to Ling Yun.
Ling Yun didn't answer, Qian Yu turned his head to see that Ling Yun was lying on the ground and asleep!
Qian Yu was speechless, glanced at Ling Yun, and sighed helplessly, Ling Yun was too lazy.
Stretching his muscles, Qianyu got up quickly and sprinkled medicinal powders within a hundred meters, which had a pungent taste that prevented the beasts from approaching. After all this was done, he took out a roll of quilt from the mustard seed bag, gently covered Ling Yun's body, and then began the vigil. A light smile appeared at the corner of Ling Yun's mouth, who was already "asleep......
