Chapter 31: Young Xu Xian

Chapter 31 Young Xu Xian

During the Spring Festival holiday, I went back to my hometown of Anhui, sorry, there was no update for seven days, and I worked hard to chase the new 2 more today, and I will continue to work hard to deliver it later.

After the second round of the stone gambling competition, Goku followed the crowd and walked out on a kick and tap.

When passing by the third courtyard, he found that the two rare birds, the nine-colored bird and the eight-colored chicken, were holding their heads high and taking small steps leisurely.

When the two rare birds saw Wukong passing by, they immediately showed a look of disdain.

Wukong was itchy in his heart, "These two second-class goods actually look down on your grandfather, so let's ride a donkey and read the record book - we'll see." He snorted twice and silently walked out of the Shenzang Stone Workshop.

Although it was getting late, the street in front of the door was full of pedestrians and lively.

Because tomorrow is the traditional festival of the world - the Spring Festival, in time for the eve of Chinese New Year's Eve, many shops have hung red lanterns to add to the atmosphere, attract customers, and the streets are brightly lit.

Goku turned his head to look at the sky and saw that the moon had climbed up the roof. He fumbled in his pocket, walked into a nearby shop, bought five catties of cooked beef and two sesame baked cakes, and prepared to return to the inn.

On the way back, the bright moon hung high and the cold wind was blowing.

Thinking of the treasure appraisal process he saw in the Shenzang Stone Workshop, Wukong was very emotional, he didn't expect that this world, and this gambling stone gameplay, it was really amazing.

Turning the intersection in front of you, the inn where you live gradually appears in front of you.

Suddenly, Goku noticed that in the aisle of the two shops on the left, in a somewhat dark corner, a small dark figure was curled up quietly. Although the light was dim, Goku could still see that it was a child, and he beckoned gently.

A child of six or seven years old walked out in a hurry, wearing a shabby and thin homespun cloth clothes, a small straw hat on his head, and his little body shivered in the cold wind.

Wukong bent down, gently pinched the child's little chapped face, and asked in a gentle tone: "Child, why don't you go home on such a cold day, why are you hiding here?"

The child lifted a small face that was red from the cold, glanced at Wukong timidly, and quickly lowered his head.

"Hey, you kid, why don't you speak?"

The child lowered his little head and shook his head slightly.

"Hehe, I see you like this, you must have been scolded by your parents, so you didn't dare to go home."

The child shook his head.

"Hey, you kid, why don't you just shake your head and don't speak", Goku blamed, "Is it a dumb person"?

"You're dumb", the kid immediately raised his head, his eyes wide open, and waved his small fist at Goku.

"Hey, you kid", Wukong laughed, "You are so young, you dare to play a temper with my grandson", he thought about it, took out a cooking cake from the bag, and handed it to the child, "No, it's a New Year's gift from me, hurry up and finish eating, hurry up and go home."

The child hesitated for a moment, as if he was fighting in his heart, and finally he stretched out his little hand and took the cake tremblingly. Through the faint light, Wukong noticed that there were a few small tears flashing in the child's big eyes on the child's black, red, black and red face.

Wukong reached out and touched the child's head, and said softly: "This child still knows gratitude." In the middle of the ring, he turned away, walked a few steps, and then turned back again, "By the way, what's your name, kid"?

After a long time, the child replied in a low voice: "I, my mother calls me Xu Xian."

"Xu Xian, what a good name", Wukong praised, he waved his hand vigorously at the child, "Child, it's cold, go home early."

"Hmm", the child's answer was weak and inaudible, and a gust of wind was blown away.

Wukong wanted to say something more, he scratched his head, and thought about it, there is really nothing to say about this Pingshui meeting, it's just that when I meet a child during the New Year, I inevitably feel a little empty in my heart.

He looked at the bright moon and suddenly remembered the monkeys and monkeys who were far away in the sky. His monkey eyes were a little moist, half loud, he quietly touched the corners of his eyes, and left Xiao Ran.

Under the light, the back of the monkey is stretched thin and slender, like an old tree bent by the wind and snow.

Back at the inn, the little rabbit had woken up, lying on the bed, and a pair of big eyes were looking at the door. Seeing Wukong push the door in, it jumped for a while, but unfortunately the wound was not healed, so it could only shake its ears desperately.

Wukong took out the cooked beef, fed it to the rabbit, and helped check the wound.

The rabbit's wound heals faster, mainly thanks to the wound medicine left by the tortoise.

After eating the beef, Goku asked the little rabbit to continue to lie on the bed to rest, and before it was time to fall asleep, he planned to go out to breathe.

The little rabbit was not happy, shaking its little head and squeaking. There was no way, Wukong had to gently pick it up, a monkey and a rabbit, along the stairs of the inn, to the roof.

Sitting on the roof, Wukong held the rabbit in his arms, both guys looked up at the bright moon in the sky, the cold wind blew slightly, the little rabbit couldn't help but shiver, it drilled into Wukong's arms, and the whole body was covered by Wukong's clothes, leaving only a pair of long ears and a pair of big eyes outside.

The moon hung high in the sky, the stars were dotted, and the clouds were looming.

The street downstairs is bustling with people, and every household is busy preparing New Year's goods to welcome the New Year, which is full of New Year's flavor.

Halfway through, the rabbit stared at the bright moon overhead, and suddenly "squeaked" twice.

Goku came back to his senses and looked down at the rabbit in his arms.

The rabbit squeaked twice.

"What, you like the moon"?

"Squeak".

"Then you still want to go up to the moon"?

"Squeak", the rabbit barked twice.

"Do you want to see Chang'e"?

"Squeak", the rabbit nodded desperately.

Wukong was gloomy, "Although the moon is bright, Chang'e is beautiful, but there is only Chang'e on the moon, for thousands of years, she has faced the whole moon alone, the fairy road is lonely and bleak, and you will only increase your troubles if you go."

"Squeak", the little rabbit raised its front paws slightly, in protest.

"Hehe, since you want to go, then you have to practice hard, and one day, when you can fly to the sky, you can go to the moon to see your Chang'e."

The rabbit nodded.

On the street in the distance, a small earthy gray figure, trembling and trembling, holding a cooking cake in its small hand, was walking lonely in the crowd.

Wukong's eyes were sharp, and he whispered alone, "Hey, isn't that the little broken child named Xu Xian, why are you still wandering the streets and not going home?"

The little rabbit squeaked twice, but unfortunately it couldn't see.

Wukong was about to speak again, when he saw the void dozens of meters in front of him, the air was slightly turbulent, and a refreshing aroma wafted with the wind, and he knew that someone was coming.

It's just that this aroma, to the smell, seems a little familiar.

In the sky, a glimmer of light flickered, and a purple figure appeared in the void in front of him. I saw him standing in the void with his long body, his thick purple hair dancing in the wind, and for a while, time seemed to stand still because of him.

The little rabbit stared blankly at the purple figure in the sky, with a pair of big eyes wide and round.

"It turned out to be the Taoist brother who Qinyuan Spring met by chance", the young man in purple stepped on the void, his footsteps moved lightly, and he walked a few meters at a time. He walked to Goku's right and tapped the eaves with his toes to stabilize his figure.

"It turned out to be Ziyi's son, politely polite", Wukong sat still and clasped his fists with both hands as a return salute.

Ziyi lifted the hem of her clothes and slowly sat down beside Wukong, also looking up at the moon, and didn't speak for a while.

On the roof, the two sat side by side, speechless for a while.

The moonlight above his head was cold and elegant, the cold wind was slight, and the streets were bustling, and the atmosphere did not look awkward.

After a long time, until in the distant sky, a bright firework suddenly flashed.

"Who is this, before the New Year arrives, I can't wait, set off fireworks", Ziyi was the first to break the silence.

"Yes", Wukong suddenly remembered the six or seven-year-old little broken child, shivering in the cold wind, which was very cute, "Perhaps, which child is this, I can't wait for the New Year, so I put off the fireworks first."

"By the way, you and I have met three times, and it is also fate, and I haven't asked Brother Dao for advice."

"Poor Tao is not talented, the road number is empty", Wukong finished speaking, silent.

"Empty?" Zi Yi looked at the bright moon, "The four seas are big, the Three Realms are empty, a good name."

Goku grinned and didn't speak.

"By the way, today's Shenzang Stone Workshop, I watched the whole process of the empty Dao brother, it seems that the Dao brother is also very interested in this gambling stone"?

"Hehe, the monks are dedicated to cultivation, and the whole world is empty, it's just a coincidence, it's just a coincidence", Wukong snorted.

"Actually, this gambling stone is not despised by immortal cultivators, after all, if the immortal heart is trapped by treasure, it is difficult to increase the immortal path", Zi Yi paused in her tone and was silent.

Wukong's eyes looked far away, and on a tall building a few miles away, two faint lights flickered, and two figures, one fat and one thin, appeared on the roof of the building.

That's two year beasts.

The chubby figure, with a head like a lion and horns on its top, turned his head slightly, looked around, and suddenly, it turned its head and stuck out its tongue at Wukong in the distance, baring its teeth.

The thin figure, small, shaped like a tiger with horns on the top of his head, also turned his head and shook his head at Wukong, bared his teeth, turned his head again, and wagged his tail at Wukong.

The two guys paused for a moment, disappeared with a whoosh, and when they looked again, they were already in another attic a few miles away.

"Hehe, it's Chinese New Year's Eve again, these two guys, sneaking out again to scare the children", Zi Yi said softly.

Wukong was silent, although the Nian God was an immortal, he was also an immortal, at such a distance, with his cultivation, he should not have been able to see it.

"My Guan Dao brother, although the mana is low, it seems that he has cultivated the pupil technique, and the pupil technique does not seem to be under the seven nights, I don't know if my guess is right"?

Wukong was silent.

"Ahem, cough", Zi Yi wanted to break the embarrassment, "This is my self-brewed orchid dew", he stretched out his hand in the air and twisted it, and took out a small porcelain bottle, "I don't know if Brother Kongkongdao can appreciate his face."

Wukong reached out and took it, uncorked the bottle, and sniffed it, and a tempting aroma of wine came to his nose. He raised his head and took two sips, the wine was pure, spicy and sweet, and there was a faint orchid fragrance in the mouth. "Good wine," he blurted out.

"Poof", Zi Yi smiled, as if a flower was blooming, "Hehe, I didn't expect Brother Kongkongdao, as a monk, to be a monk, he didn't even taboo meat wine."

Wukong scratched his head, "Hehe, the wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha sits in his heart." The little rabbit in his arms suddenly squeaked twice, expressing suspicion.

"You little rabbit, you're pretty cute", Ziyi reached out and touched the rabbit's ears.

Wukong took another sip of wine, and wanted to ask Ziyi about gambling on stone appreciation, but he felt a little embarrassed.

Zi Yi seemed to see through Wukong's heart, he took a sip of wine, and looked at the endless crowd on the street, "Actually, this gambling stone is like reading minds, as long as you understand his heart, the inner pregnancy of this stone, you will also press the right treasure." It's just that this mind-reading is indeed more difficult."

Goku listened quietly.

"Actually, I don't like gambling stones, gambling stones, it's just a hobby, to pass the loneliness. Life is like a wild goose across the sea, and I look forward to the most beautiful rainbow in my life", he looked up at the moon, "Perhaps, I am also looking for the bright rainbow in my life", after speaking, he suddenly stood up, "Tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, it is the last battle between me and Qiye, I hope that Brother Kongkong Dao can come."

Wukong took a big sip of wine, and when he was about to speak, he smelled a fragrant breeze blowing, and he didn't need to turn his head to know that Ziyi was already gone.

The rabbit squeaked twice, as if to say, "Although the wine is good, don't be greedy."

Wukong silently put the wine bottle into his arms, his eyes looked in the direction of Dongsheng Shenzhou, and a wave of homesickness flooded his heart.

In the middle of the ring, he stood up, and Shi Shiran walked downstairs.

Note: Nian Beast, also known as Nian, is a vicious beast in ancient Han myths and legends. Legend has it that in ancient times, at midnight at the end of the year, the Nian Beast would attack the village, and all the villages occupied by the Nian Beast suffered a brutal massacre, and the horns on their heads were the slaughter weapons. People take advantage of the three weaknesses of the Nian Beast, which is afraid of red, loud noise, and firelight, to set off firecrackers and stick to the door to drive away the attack of the Nian Beast. Another legend is that for Chinese New Year's Eve, people got the help of a god called "Nian" to drive away "Xi", so there is a saying of Chinese New Year's Eve and New Year.
