Text Chapter Seventy-Eight: Misfortune and Blessing

The Zhongyi Marquis Mansion is located in the north of Xuandu, and Xue Hanjiang walked for a long time before walking back to the Kelai Teahouse. He opened the door of the store, and as soon as he entered, he heard Xiaobai's familiar snoring. In the corner, I saw Xiaobai lying on the ground on all fours, with his mouth open, his tongue hanging down to his mouth, and he looked like he was sleeping soundly.

"You stinky little white!" Xue Hanjiang picked up Xiao Bai, ravaged its fur frantically, and said viciously: "Your master was beaten like this, and you still sleep so soundly!"

"Wangwang!" Xiaobai opened his eyes in a daze, saw that it was Xue Hanjiang, yawned, and called softly twice.

"Let you pretend to be a dog, it's good for you, now the barking has become a dog's barking!" Xue Hanjiang is really a little helpless about this Wangtianjiao, if he sits and looks at the sky and goes out in the future, and sees people barking, wouldn't it be a shame for the dead.

Xue Hanjiang saw that it was not early, so he went to the back room, took a big vegetable basket, put some of the vegetables he bought a few days ago into the basket, took Xiaobai, and went to Zhao Yunqi's house.

"Brother Xue, you're here!" Zhao Yunqi opened the door in surprise and welcomed Xue Hanjiang in.

Xue Hanjiang entered Zhao Yunqi's house for the first time, so he looked around. Zhao Yun started small, although it was a little dilapidated, but it was very neat and clean. He was led by Zhao Yunqi to the kitchen, where Zhao Yunqi's grandmother was washing vegetables.

"Grandma, Brother Xue is here. Zhao Yunqi shouted

Zhao Yunqi's grandmother raised her head and smiled kindly: "Boss Xue is here! Let's go into the house and sit down first, the meal will be cooked soon." She instructed Zhao Yunqi: "Don't take Boss Xue to sit in the house yet." ”

"Mother-in-law, these are my food money. Xue Hanjiang handed the basket to Zhao Yunqi's grandmother and said with a smile.

Zhao Yunqi's grandmother waved her hand again and again: "Boss Xue, this can't be helped." ”

"Mother-in-law, I've bought all the vegetables, so you can burn them. I can't take it with me again. Xue Hanjiang shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands.

"Alas, it's really costing you!" Zhao Yunqi's grandmother saw that Xue Hanjiang was so persistent, so she had to take the basket. Xue Hanjiang was taken to the living room by Zhao Yunqi and sat down. Zhao Yunqi made a pot of tea for Xue Hanjiang and said with a smile: "Brother Xue, you can drink tea here for a while first, and I'll help grandma cook." ”

"Well, go ahead. Xue Hanjiang nodded, picked up the cup and drank tea.

"Yunqi, this is too much for Boss Xue. You see, there are osmanthus fish, beef, mutton, shiitake mushrooms, green vegetables, and even citrus fruits that only rich and noble families can afford. Zhao Yunqi's grandmother took out all the things in the vegetable basket, looked at the full things, and said to Zhao Yunqi: "How embarrassing are we!"

Zhao Yunqi looked at so many things, couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and asked, "Grandma, what should we do then?"

"Let's make the meal first. You have been working at Boss Snow for the past few months, and you have given all the money to your grandmother, and your grandmother has saved it all for you. plus the silver taels that grandma saved by work, there are also ten taels of silver. When Boss Xue leaves, we will give him this silver. Grandma Zhao Yunqi said to Zhao Yunqi.

"Hmm. Zhao Yunqi nodded, and went to help grandma wash the dishes.

Xue Hanjiang shook his head with a smile, and the somewhat bitter tea in his mouth became sweet.

At this time, in a hidden cave mansion in Chiyan Mountain in the Yan Dynasty, Liu Sisi sat on a stone chair, holding his chin with a distressed face and muttering to himself: "Now that I am in Chinese New Year's Eve, I am still trapped here and can't get out, what can I do! I don't want to spend the New Year in this ghost place!"

"I don't know what happened to the senior brothers and sisters, are they trapped in different places in the cave like me?"

It turned out that a few months ago, Liu Sisi and his party discovered the entrance to the cave here. Under the spell of a senior brother in the book department, the entrance ban was temporarily broken, and after everyone entered, they encountered many mechanism formations, which caused Liu Sisi to be separated from them, and Liu Sisi came to this place called Shizhong Mansion by mistake.

This place is strange and inexplicable, not only can it not come out of it, but the communication flying sword cannot fly out. Liu Sisi spent months looking for clues here, but there was no way.

"There are only these broken stone furniture here, and there are no magic weapons or panaceas, and I don't know which door-slamming ghost built the cave. Liu Sisi sighed and knocked helplessly on the stone chair under him.

"Huh?" Liu Sisi felt that there was a strange feeling in the place where he was tapping. She quickly got up from the stone chair, walked to the side where she had just struck, squatted down, knocked where she had just struck, and then struck a few times in other places, and sure enough, the sound was completely different.

"Could it be that there is some mechanism here?" Liu Sisi's fingers condensed the sword qi and pointed at the place where the strange strike just now, that place was touched by the fierce sword qi, and the surface cracked in an instant, revealing a fist-sized hole.

Liu Sisi looked surprised when he saw the hollow, and looked inside, only to see a small jade seal in the hollow, and the surface of the seal was full of treasure, and it was not ordinary at first glance. She reached out and took out the seal, and her thoughts invaded the seal and began to investigate.

It's just that as soon as Liu Sisi's mind touched the seal, she only felt that her eyes were black, and then white, and when she came back to her senses, she found herself in a strange secret room, and a white-haired old man with a serious expression sat at the desk in front of her.

"I am the Red Flame Mountain Red Flame Son. Since you can see this divine thought, you must be a person who is destined. I don't like to fight in my life, and I have been practicing penance for many years. Although his reputation is not obvious, his cultivation realm is rising steadily. The white-haired old man spoke: "It's just a rare avenue that is just done behind closed doors." I have been in the Earth Immortal Realm for more than a hundred years, but I have never seen the threshold of the Heavenly Immortal Realm. The deadline is approaching, and I know that time is running out, so I left this cave and this cave hub seal. There are pill magic weapons and cultivation exercises that I have occasionally refined over the years in the cave, and I hope you can use them so that the exercises I created will not be lost. ”

After listening to Chi Yanzi's words, Liu Sisi only felt dizziness in front of her, and when she woke up, she found that she was still in Shizhong Mansion. At this time, she had already understood the origin of the cave, and began to refine the cave hub seal on the stone bed on the side. As long as she refines the seal, then she will be able to fully grasp this cave, and this experience can be easily completed.

"The mountains and rivers are exhausted, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village. Liu Sisi had a smile on his face.

On the side of the Xue Hanjiang River, Zhao Yunqi's grandmother also cooked the dishes. Zhao Yunqi carefully brought it to the dining table in the house, and for a while, the aroma in the room was overflowing, which made people's appetite move.

At this time, it was dark outside, and the sound of firecrackers and children frolicking could be heard in the streets and alleys. Xue Hanjiang, Zhao Yunqi's grandmother and Zhao Yunqi were already sitting at the dinner table. And there was an extra pair of chopsticks on the side of the dining table, saying that it was reserved for Zhao Yunqi's parents.

Xue Hanjiang thought of his parents, his face was bitter, and he sighed in his heart: "I haven't gone back to worship my father and mother for a long time." ”

"Today, thanks to the blessing of Boss Xue, our Chinese New Year's Eve dinner can be so rich. Boss Xue quickly tastes the old woman's craftsmanship, and I don't know if it suits your appetite. Grandma Zhao Yunqi said politely.

Xue Hanjiang sandwiched a piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth. The beef is fragrant and tender, and it is obvious that Zhao Yunqi's grandmother has extraordinary cooking skills. He swallowed the beef and exclaimed, "Mother-in-law's cooking is so delicious." It was thanks to me, obviously I took advantage of it and ate such delicious things. Hurry up and eat it, it almost tastes cold when it's cold. ”

"Boss Xue, you can really make my wife happy. Zhao Yunqi's grandmother laughed happily when she saw Xue Hanjiang praising herself like this, put a piece of pork ribs in Zhao Yunqi's bowl, and said to Zhao Yunqi: "Yunqi, you can eat it too." ”

Zhao Yunqi was already drooling in his heart, but because of the rules, he could only stare dryly. Seeing that grandma said this, he picked up the ribs and put them in his mouth, his face showed happiness, he hadn't eaten such delicious meat for a long time.

In the direction of the palace, countless fireworks bloomed, and even in such a remote place as Zhao Yunqi's home, you could see the brilliant brilliance of those fireworks. The three of them enjoyed the fireworks, chatted and ate delicious food, and this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was really wonderful. Only poor Xiaobai could only lie under the table silently, gnawing on the bones dropped by Xue Hanjiang and Zhao Yunqi, and whimpered aggrievedly.

Xue Hanjiang is also very helpless, after all, this is Zhao Yunqi's family, if his grandmother sees Xue Hanjiang and Zhao Yunqi throwing beef and pork ribs to Xiaobai to eat, it is estimated that she will not be able to accept it. In order to appease this lazy Wangtianqi, he could only secretly use spells, taking advantage of Zhao Yunqi and his grandmother's inattention, to turn beef and pork ribs in front of it, so that it could also feast on it.

On Liu Sisi's side, it took her two hours to completely refine the Cave Mansion Hub. Shen Nian sank into it, and found that his senior brothers and sisters were all trapped by the prohibition of the Cave Mansion. She hurriedly used the Cave Mansion Hub to cast a spell to unlock the prohibition that trapped several senior brothers and sisters, and notified them to rendezvous at the core of this Cave Mansion.

Soon Liu Sisi and several senior brothers and sisters met in the Chiyan Mansion at the core of the Cave Mansion, although they were trapped for several months, but the aura of this Cave Mansion was very sufficient, and their group was not only in good spirits, but also seemed to have made some progress in their cultivation.

"Sisi, you're amazing. We've tried so many ways, but we haven't been able to break through this damn ban. A senior sister took Liu Sisi's hand and praised.

Liu Sisi smiled modestly: "It's just luck, if I didn't happen to find the mechanism left by the owner of this cave mansion, Chi Yanzi, I wouldn't have been able to lift the ban here." ”

"Great, now that we have completely mastered this cave, it is much more difficult than our training mission. We will definitely have a good result in this experience. A senior brother said to everyone with a happy face.

"Yes, yes, through this experience, maybe we can enter the Shushan Building to cultivate!" Everyone began to discuss, and there was a joyful atmosphere. It's just that they didn't know that more than a dozen cultivators dressed strangely and carrying strange weapons had already arrived at the entrance of this cave.

"It's really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!" The old man at the head laughed and said, "This Chiyanzi's cave mansion must be our Heavenly Divine Altar!"
