Chapter 38 Blessings and Misfortunes Depend
Early the next morning, Yin Wugeng got up early, and there was already a maid standing in front of the bed, holding a purple robe, a brocade belt, and a pair of blue water boots. The maid said, "The princess is awake, and my princess has instructed her to put on the new clothes when the princess is awake." ”
Yin Wugeng changed his clothes and shook his spirits, so he asked the maid to step back and go out of the house to wander around alone. After walking for a while, I saw a group of shrimp soldiers and crabs in front of the Guangde Hall practicing, so I joined in to see the excitement.
Ao Qing came over, stood behind Yin Wugeng and asked, "Is the son still resting?"
Yin Wugeng looked back and saw that it was Ao Qing, and saw that she was dressed in green clothes, her face was like mutton fat, and he thought: "This princess looks very delicate and lovely, especially the two dragon horns on her head are really cute...... and then thanked her: "Thank you princess." Before that, I hadn't had a good night's sleep in 10 years. ”
Ao Qing asked, "Can the son be able to use weapons?"
Yin Wugeng shook his head. Ao Qing instructed the maid to take two long swords, handed one to Yin Wugeng, and said: "Although the prince has a lot of hidden immortal power in his body, how can he do it if he doesn't know martial arts if he wants to take revenge?
Yin Wugeng saw that Ao Qing was a female streamer after all, and he was a little disdainful in his heart, but he still accepted it on his lips, so he took the sword and followed the comparison. Yin Wugeng's mana at this time was far beyond Ao Qing's imagination, and the sword aura between his gestures was vertical and horizontal, how could Ao Qing parry? The shrimp soldiers and crab generals who were practicing were also shocked. Ao Qing hurriedly shouted: "Stop, stop! Don't use your mana!"
Yin Wugeng hurriedly put away his sword, scratched his head embarrassedly, and said, "I can't control this power, so I can't help but use it." Come again!" The two of them exchanged swords and walked for a few more rounds.
After a while, the Yaksha came to report, "Report to the princess!" The lantern-burning man shouted again on the sea, asking the dragon king to go up and answer. ”
Yin Wugeng put away his sword and said to the princess: "I can't even affect your East China Sea Dragon Palace, I'll go up and fight with him to burn jade!" Ao Qing stopped him and said, "Don't worry, go to see your father first, and then make plans." The two hurried to the Crystal Palace.
Ao Guang already knew about this and was pacing in the palace. Seeing that the two of them were coming, he said to Yin Wugeng: "Childe, I can't stay in this Dragon Palace anymore, you have to find another way." "Don't worry, Dragon King. Yin Wugeng arched his hand to the Dragon King and Ao Qing and said, "I will never affect the Dragon Palace." The grace of saving your life will be reported another day!" After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave the Dragon Palace.
Ao Guang stopped Yin Wugeng and said, "Childe, wait a minute." Although you relied on Jin Dan to obtain mana, you have no magic weapon to defend yourself, and you can only sit and wait to die when you encounter a powerful magic weapon like Dinghaizhu, so if you go up and fight hard, you will not escape death. Yin Wugeng stopped when he heard this, scratched his head and asked, "Then what should I do?"
Ao Guang sighed: "I don't have any magic weapons in this Dragon Palace, I only have some weapons. If Childe has a handy one, pick one or two, and I'll ask Qing'er to send you away from the secret passage later, and you won't be able to find it by lighting the lamp. ”
Yin Wugeng thought: "It turns out that there is a secret passage in this Dragon Palace, it's great...... he felt that what the Dragon King said was reasonable, and thanked him: "Great grace is not thankful." I, Yin Wugeng, don't like to owe favors. I will do one thing for the dragon king in return in the future, even if the sword mountain is a sea of fire, the dragon king can speak. ”
Ao Guang nodded and said, "Okay, there are clear grievances in life." The old man admires it very much! There is a person in the teachings who is my sworn enemy of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea, and you must not let him go if you have the opportunity in the future. ”
Yin Wugeng asked, "Who?"
Ao Guang replied hatefully: "Nezha, a member of the sect." This son made a big fuss in the East China Sea back then, killed my son Ao Bing, and also cramped and peeled his skin, this hatred is not shared with the sky!" "How can we forget the hatred of killing a son? Ao Guang has endured this hatred for many years, but he is afraid that the sect is powerful, and there is no way to take revenge.
Yin Wugeng seemed to have heard this name somewhere, but he couldn't remember for a while that the little brother who had fought in front of the gate of Biyou Palace that day was Nezha. He nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will avenge this revenge Yin Wugeng for you." ”
It is said that Randen waited for a long time in the East China Sea and did not see anyone, so he couldn't help but go down to the Dragon Palace to look for someone in person. After the dragon king's greetings, he asked the people who lit the lamp to look around, but they found nothing. 'This East China Sea Dragon Clan dares to go against my will and secretly help Yin Wugeng escape!
The lantern burning Taoist had a blue face, but there was no evidence, so he had to sneer: "There is Lao Lao Dragon King bothered! Farewell!"
It is said that Yin Wugeng was sent away by Ao Qing, and rode alone on a strange-looking sea beast called 'Dragon Whale', parting the waves and heading to the coast. When he arrived at the coast, Yin Wugeng didn't know where to go, and Biyou Palace naturally couldn't go back, so he had to walk along the shore to a populated place alone. When you are hungry, you eat some fruit from the mountains, and when you are thirsty, you drink some water from the stream. After walking like this for a few days, I finally came to the Donghuai realm.
In the early years of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Central Plains was still divided into Donghuai, Xiqi, Southern Chu, and Northern Yan according to the geographical boundaries. Donghuai is close to the East China Sea, which was originally the boundary of Jiang Wenhuan, the marquis of Dongbo, and later Jiang Wenhuan took refuge in the Great Zhou and was still sealed here. Yin Wugeng didn't dare to get too close to the town, he didn't know that Duke Zhou had announced to the world that he had been beheaded, thinking that he was still wanted by the passes of the city, and he was afraid of being recognized, so he had to wander around the nearby villages.
Coincidentally, there is an old couple in this village who have no children under their knees, and seeing that Yin Wugeng is still young, they kindly took him in and gave him a bowl of full rice to eat in the morning and evening. Yin Wugeng didn't dare to tell the second elder's real name, only said that his name was Zhang San, and he sneaked out when he caught a strong man in the city.
On weekdays, Yin Wugeng went up the mountain to chop wood and carry water to repay the second elder. But the strange thing was that Yin Wugeng felt that the incredible power in his body suddenly disappeared, and he seemed to have turned back into a mortal.
"Whatever! Anyway, I'm a mortal, maybe it was that white-haired old man who sucked the power of Jin Dan away, so let's be a mortal with peace of mind from now on!" Yin Wugeng comforted himself, carried the firewood, and hummed a little song easily.
"Yin Wugeng!"
Suddenly, a crisp voice came from behind, scaring Yin Wugeng into a cold sweat, how could anyone recognize him in this barren mountain and wild mountains?
When I looked back, the person who came was dressed in green, and it turned out to be Ao Qing, but the two dragon horns on her head were missing.
Seeing Yin Wugeng's nervous appearance, Ao Qing snorted and laughed: "Haha!
Yin Wugeng took a breath, glared and asked, "You...... Why are you here?"
"I'm looking for you!" Ao Qing walked over with a smile and said, "It's not interesting for me to stay in the Dragon Palace, so I just came out to look for you to see if you were captured by that old man who burned the lamp, but you really made it easy for me to find it by hiding here." ”
Yin Wugeng put his finger on the opposite side and whispered: "Be quiet, my name is Zhang San now, and I live in an old couple's house, don't make a mistake." ”
"Got it. Ao Qing answered, and followed Yin Wugeng back to the village.
Seeing the old couple, Ao Qing lied that she was a maid who ran out of a big family in the city, and she fled here after being beaten by her master. The old couple was kind-hearted, and they didn't ask anything and let Ao Qing stay. In this way, a month passed, and the old couple had no livelihood at home on weekdays, and since Ao Qing came, they had an extra ration, and it was too much to sell money just by collecting firewood.
The next day, Ao Qing woke up dimly and heard the sound of chopping wood, and when he got up, he saw that Yin Wugeng was standing in the yard and helping the old couple chop some firewood for the family. Ao Qing got up after putting on her makeup, pushed the door out, and saw Yin Wugeng wielding an axe, so he stepped forward and asked, "Isn't the sword I gave you sharpened like clay?"
"Poof~" Yin Wugeng couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "Miss Qing'er must be pampered in the Dragon Palace, she has never done these farm jobs, and although the sword is sharp, it is not suitable for chopping wood." Ao Qing couldn't help but blush when he heard this, and asked again: "Have the swordsmanship I taught you ever been abandoned?" Yin Wugeng replied: "The sword is a weapon of killing, and I was afraid of frightening the second elder, so I hid the sword behind the house." ”
"What are you afraid of. You and I should stay away when practicing swords, otherwise it would be good if the second elder saw it. ”
Yin Wugeng felt that it made sense, so he nodded and agreed, "When I finish chopping this firewood, I will accompany you to practice swords." ”
After a while, Yin Wugeng wiped his sweat after chopping firewood, and then took out the sword from the back of the house and followed Ao Qing to the valley on the side to practice swords. To Ao Qing's great surprise, Yin Wugeng completely lost the power to split the wind and waves before, and he couldn't parry two or three moves, and even the sword was almost shaken off.
"How could this be?" Ao Qing looked at Yin Wugeng and asked, "You weren't so weak in the Dragon Palace before?"
Yin Wugeng helplessly stuck his sword on the ground and sighed: "I don't know, Jin Dan's power seems to have completely disappeared, and I am just a mortal now." ”
Ao Qing scratched her head, she was just a green dragon with hundreds of years of cultivation, she knew some martial arts and the art of clouds and rain, and she didn't know anything when it came to cultivating immortals......
In the evening of that day, Yin Wugeng called the second elder, took out the hairpin in his arms and gave it to the old couple, and said, "This hairpin ...... It is my original master's house, it should be worth some silver taels, I am inconvenient to enter the city, so please ask my husband to enter the city tomorrow to be a hairpin, and exchange it for some money. It turned out that Yin Wugeng found that his family was about to be unable to open the pot, and the money for cutting wood was really not enough, so he had to think of this method.
Ao Qing saw that the hairpin was very exquisite, with cloud patterns engraved on it, and knew that it was the only relic of his mother left on Yin Wugeng's body, so he stopped: "Zhang San, how much can your hairpin be worth, let's keep it for yourself." Then he took out a thumb-sized pearl from the bag around his waist.
"Old man, I stole this pearl from the house, I have been bothering you for so long, you can take this pearl as a pawn, exchange it for something useful. ”
"This is too precious!" When the old couple had seen such a big pearl, they did not dare to take it, and said to the two: "My old couple have lived here for a long time and have nothing to ask for, and my old couple have lived here for a long time and have nothing to ask for, and it is useless to get this thing, so the girl should put it away, just rest assured that she will live here." ”
Ao Qing opened his mouth to persuade: "Two old men, I still have something to ask for. The two of us will have to hurry to other places after a few days of cultivation, and the way is far away, so I asked the second elder to take this golden hairpin to the city to change a carriage, and leave the rest for the two to subsidize the family. ”
"Is that so?" the old woman nodded, and took the pearl, "Then I will go to the city to-morrow." ”
Yin Wugeng gently pulled Ao Qing's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Where are we going?"
Ao Qing covered her mouth, "You can't stay in this village for the rest of your life, can you? Since I can find you, how can you guarantee that the old way of burning the lamp will not find you? Besides, didn't you swear to avenge your master? It's better to plan early." ”
Yin Wugeng didn't expect Ao Qing to think so thoroughly, he really wanted to be a mortal like this, but now he was suddenly awakened by Ao Qing's words.
At dusk the next day, the old couple returned in a carriage and shouted to them happily, "The girl's pearl fruit is a treasure, and there is still a little silver tael left in the carriage." The two of them were overjoyed, and prepared to leave the place in ten days' time.
In the next few days, Yin Wugeng accompanied Ao Qing to learn swords, and at the same time helped the old couple do some farm work. Ao Qing also became more and more interested in Yin Wugeng, and couldn't help but ask about his life experience.
"I'm ashamed!" Yin Wugeng couldn't help but sigh when he saw Ao Qing asking about his life: "When Dashang died in the country, I was still young, and I only knew that I was dependent on my mother, and later I was used by vicious people and almost went to the guillotine. Later, thanks to the rescue of a fairy girl named Wudang Holy Mother, she saved her life. ”
"Oh. Ao Qing couldn't help but say to himself when he heard this: "I heard that the battle of the gods affected the Six Realms back then, and the sky was dark when the two sects were fighting. ”
As the two were talking, Yin Wugeng suddenly got up, his face changed, "Miss Qing'er, someone is here." ”
Ao Qing looked up, and he didn't know when the small courtyard had been surrounded by a group of armor soldiers. The comers were all dressed in black armor, armed with bows and swords, and their military appearance was neat. The bronze helmet of the leader has a red tassel on it, which is slightly different from the others.
"Bring it up!" I saw two soldiers bring the old couple to the front of the army, and the old couple fell to the ground crying: "Our old couple has never broken the law in living here, why are you arresting me?"
Ao Qing immediately stepped forward to theorize when he saw it, but was stopped by Yin Wugeng with a raised hand, "Girl, slow down, see the meaning first." ”
