The Golden Crown Chapter 53: The landscape is picturesque
Xiangzi was dressed plainly at this time, the light blue cloth was spotless, her jet-black hair was tied into a small braid, her long hair was still a foot and a half away from her waist, and with a clean face, she looked like a well-behaved girl.
In comparison, although the whole body of the girl in white is not graceful and luxurious, it is also silk and satin, and the fabric of the clothes is much more noble than his body, and the large and small cloth merchants in the Demon City are all inferior to the tailors in the palace nobles, and the skills in extracting cicada silk cotton thread are even more different.
When the girl saw it today, she had starlight in her eyes, and she was very envious, and she was asking how many spirit stones this dress would cost all the way, and the girl in white thought about something, so she half pushed it and half went over, saying that she had at least 30,000 spirit stones. Xiangzi folded her fingers and calculated, once a week, she went on stage once a week, one hundred spirit stones at a time, except for the one used, there were very few left, and it would take at least five or six years to buy one!
In this way, the girl immediately hung her head.
A first-order spirit stone is equivalent to a hundred yuan, 30,000 spirit stones can not be three million yuan, you can eat it in the Sealed Demon City if you don't buy it for a day, and you can only get one for two days of hard work, this kind of "pond" stays for a long time, and the horizon will become narrow, and the girl in white doesn't understand it.
Let's talk about spirit stones, the Sealed Demon City is a special place, the spirit stones are extremely lacking, and the places where the ore is mined are almost monopolized by "those" people, and the distinction between grades is to see the purity and strength of the spiritual power contained in it, for people from the outside world, this is something that increases strength, and having strength is equivalent to having spirit stones, for the weak and even ordinary people, it is something like "currency", in addition to being able to take it for "exchange" Commodities, there is no other use, these spirit stones in the Demon City will eventually return to the hands of the rich and noble, and when all of them are "cleared" and the aura is absorbed, it will be useless!
As for the second-order, third-order and even higher, almost no one here has ever seen it, not including those "rich" people, of course.
The moonlight is better, the cicadas are singing and the water is flowing, although it is not as lively as the daytime, but there is also another scene, especially the miasma and turbidity dust in the air have just been washed away by the heavy rain, fresh and elegant, and a smell is pleasant.
Qu Zhonghe, who was sitting in front of the wooden house, waited for Xiangzi, and the old man had just cleaned up the house, rolled up his trouser legs and sleeves, and when he saw the girl coming, he hurriedly sorted out his clothes.
Just because there was a girl in white beside him, she was very faced, and the girl in white was like an immortal, able to fly, and fell in front of the candlelight door, the old man hurriedly blew away the green smoke from the cheap tobacco burning in the dry tobacco.
Although Qu Zhonghe was eighty years old and his body was half cut into the ground, when he saw the flying girl coming back with Xiangzi, he still stood up, extinguished the dry smoke pestle, and said with a smile: "Xiangzi, who is this?"
The girl laughed and said, "It's Zijun, Zijun asked her to send me back!"
The girl in white said calmly, "Do you live in this wild place......?" Zijun has never seen anything in the world, and he is extremely clumsy and reckless!"
Xiangzi hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, it's not like this!"
Qu Zhonghe said with a smile: "What do you mean by this?"
The girl in white was extremely impatient, did not answer, turned around and left. I feel a little pity for that little beggar in my heart, relying on the foundation realm to fight against the earth immortals, no matter how you look at it, it is a dead end, and I have done it with my own favors, I no longer want to have anything to do with these people, I have a bad life, how noble I am!
Xiangzi felt a little sad in her heart, as if she had offended others, would Zijun blame her when the time came? Thinking of this, she stretched out her hand to persuade her, although she didn't expect anything, at least she had to thank them first.
However, Qu Zhonghe stopped her and said: "Xiangzi, let her go, although grandpa can't read big words, but I can still see that she looks down on us, why should you keep this kind of person, that wild place is better than changing to the forest outside the world." ”
Kako just nodded confusedly.
Qu Zhonghe said solemnly: "Where did the kid go? The heavy rain just now almost washed down this wooden house, and it is no longer inhabitable, when he comes back, we will first go to Grandpa Zuo's house to borrow it for one night, look at the sky, tomorrow will be sunny, and then we will rebuild the house!"
Xiangzi ran into the house to take a look, the candle that burned to the roots was crumbling, some places had been broken by the wind, the roof had been lifted some, and there were some traces of rain on the ground, bringing some mud, making the half-foot-deep place not look like a house, and the pots and stoves were dripping from the eaves, and it seemed that they were really unlivable.
Xiangzi turned around and said, "I don't know where he went, I saw him just now, and in a blink of an eye, there was no one!"
Qu Zhonghe sighed, turned his head, and thought about what the girl in white said just now, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"I'm back!"
The two of them were stunned, but when they saw Zijun flying from the sky, Qu Zhonghe's eyes were full of shock, and after the young man landed, he hurriedly asked, "Child, have you become an immortal?"
The boy shook his head.
Qu Zhonghe asked again: "Then how can you fly, or did you do it two days ago?"
The young man touched his chin, thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It will be eight months ago, I will figure it out myself!"
Xiangzi was overjoyed, hurriedly ran over and took his hand, and said in an excited tone: "Brother Zijun, do you know that sister?"
Zijun shook his head and said, "Apart from you, there is only Luo Xiaorou here! ”
Qu Zhonghe shook his head, shaking his head for Zijun to make that kind of person, but he didn't say anything, and he didn't interfere with other people's affairs!
The same boy looked at the sky, and a girl in pink with a flower umbrella really flew in, Xiangzi was happy, since Zijun knew him, he could be a family, and hurriedly waved to the girl in pink.
After Luo Xiaorou flew down, Qu Zhonghe was shocked again, how many girls does this child know, but this girl looks tender like water, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, different from the girl in white before, she has sharp eyes, and she thinks that she is superior, at least one level higher than them.
After Luo Xiaorou flew down, she excitedly took Xiangzi's hand, looked her up and down, and said with a smile: "Zijun, I didn't expect you to have such a beautiful sister!
Xiangzi also laughed, now it's okay, I've been here for so long, and I finally have a companion, and said excitedly: "Zijun, is she Luo Xiaorou, and besides, I'm not his sister, I'm his wife, but I haven't married yet! Who is Jiangshan Sheji? Why did you beat her?"
The young man supported his forehead with Qu Zhonghe, ignoring the conversation between the two, Zijun said to the old man: "Let's go into the house and talk about it, it has just rained heavily, the grass is wet and the road is slippery, you are so old, you have to be careful!"
Qu Zhonghe was very moved, how long had he not been cared for, Lao Qu couldn't remember, thinking of this, he was a little sad, and said: "Child, this house is unlivable, let's go to Grandpa Zuo's house to borrow it for one night! When will it be clear...... I'll rebuild it!"
Zijun nodded and said, "Do you still want this house?"
Qu Zhonghe nodded and said: "Of course I have to, although the original can't live, but some materials are not easy to find, I have already said hello to Lao Zuo, so I don't need to bring anything, come and get it tomorrow!"
Zijun immediately laughed and said, "What is this!"
Then I closed my eyes and felt it, and the whole house was put into the Na Jie, and then my consciousness sank into it to see, because there was one more house, some places shrouded in darkness also became brighter, and the small place of Na Jie had some vitality, which was like a lifeless warehouse than before, and now it was more like being on the beach, except that there was no wind, no water, only sand.
Qu Zhonghe looked at the house that suddenly disappeared, his eyes were full of strangeness, and he asked again: "Child, are you sure you really didn't become an immortal?"
————
On the way back, the girl in white was also a little annoyed, she was usually not like this, for her life-saving benefactor, is it a little indebted to do this?
Thinking about things like this, when he was halfway through the flight, he saw the beggar flying with a woman with a flower umbrella, and that person was also in the fairyland, so he let go of his heart knot, but he didn't expect that after he left, he actually called a helper, and he worried about it in vain!
Hurriedly flew to the ground to hide, and after hiding in the grass and wetting his skirt, he was a little puzzled, why did he hide?
When the reaction came, the people had flown away, and this time the girl hated Zijun even more, first tripped over his own dirty clothes and moved himself in vain, thinking that he was also a person in his temperament, who dared to live and dare to die for himself, but he was all pretentious and called a helper after he left, and asked himself to send his little lover home, his grandfather said behind his back that he was arrogant, and now he hurt his skirt wet and cold, plus he just slipped on the ground after the rain and fell on his head.
Thinking of this, it can be said that she is angry, and she always feels that there is a fire in her heart, and there is nowhere to break out.
The girl suppressed this anger and flew back, and at this moment, Qi Dong also flew head-on, and then knelt down in the void, hugged her fists and said: "Princess, the poor road has been explored, this place in the Demon City is not enough to worry about, remote and poor mountains, but everyone here is full of petty luck or atmospheric luck, but they are all monopolized by the city lord here and some rich children of the Demon Sealing Sect, and the civilians below cannot be cultivated, otherwise they are all talented and proud, and it is a place to fight!" ”
The girl in white frowned, and said, "Lord Qi, get up first, where did you come to these conclusions, are you sure that the investigation is clear?
Qi Dong got up, blew his beard and promised: "There is no falsehood, the person of the Demon Sect, as long as he is willing to work a little hard to cultivate, break through a small realm for a maximum of ten days, this is in our place, and he can also be named a genius, not to mention those who have a little root, at most seven days, the princess of luck doesn't know yet, I'll tell you about it, that kind of thing is invisible and imageless, but it is real, to the realm of Lao Chen, many people can see it at a glance, for example, the geisha who greeted the witch that day, there is a golden light on her forehead, this is atmospheric luck!"
When the girl thought of this, it was like an old Taoist asking, "Lord Qi, how lucky are you when you see the beggar?"
Qi Dong thought for a while, and then muttered: "I can't see it, either I have no luck or I have majestic luck, you have to be more discerning than the old minister to see it!"
The girl in white muttered to herself: "As far as he is still lucky, a waste beggar has caused me to eat three times and twice, I must settle accounts with him, Lord Qi, can you wait for two more days? You first attract some spies, and it will be easier to attack when the time comes!"
Qi Dong heard the princess who was as gentle as autumn water in the past say such harsh words, and he didn't know if she was pretending to be before or if the beggar really hurt her now, so she immediately arched her hand and said: "The princess is thoughtful, and the poor road will go!"
Looking at Qi Dong, who disappeared in an instant, the girl in white smiled meaningfully, obviously brewing something, she had to play all the tricks back until she was comfortable, but not to kill him, so unrelenting, watching him cry and kneel in front of her to apologize is what she wants.
Then she slowly flew towards the city.
————
Zijun first took him to the place where Zuo Yichan lived, surrounded by mountains, with water and holes, and smoke curling in those holes, and small fires swaying.
The moonlight is charming, there are no fierce beasts in this area, the most powerful may be the three-headed snake, and it is not much bigger, the arm thickness of the two or three-year-old baby, the cry is the sound of hissing, accidentally bitten and swollen for two or three days to apply some herbs can be good, although the days are a little bitter, but it is passable, it is better than suffering humiliation in the city, there are no all kinds of unsavory playboys!
Qu Zhonghe has lived for so long, the first time he flew, although he was dragged by Zijun to fly, but he still felt very novel, especially the breeze, his heart was more happy, his grandson-in-law, he would definitely make great achievements in the future!
He praised Zijun all the way, and talked about some truths that he had realized over the years, who can and can't be friends, what is a good person, what is a bad person, and all kinds of restraints! Zijun listened to three points, compared to what the master said, this ordinary person is more down-to-earth, but it is too far behind, Zijun does not like it. I agreed physically, and I remembered some in my heart.
After a while, I arrived at a half-mountain cliff cave, Zuo Yichan was an old man who looked very fairy, with a daughter in his forties and fifties and a grandson in his twenties, who was now called an old man, a woman, and a middle-aged man.
A cage of bonfires was dusk at night, two rats starved to death beside them, and three people covered their eyes and lay flat on cold stones. The old man is skinny like a firewood god with a dark wound, his hair is gray and combed smoothly, the woman's hands are rough and her feet are injured, and she enjoys it alone without a cloth package, and waits until the bruises block the wound, and then work hard to raise it slowly, and the middle-aged man's eyes are dull and ethereal, and his hair is messy.
There are rivers and mountains and green waters, so picturesque. The Venerable Master did not know the sufferings of the people below, and struggled in this remote wilderness.
Zijun looked at it, his heart shook, and after Qu Zhonghe landed, he said with a smile: "Lao Zuo, we are here! Your place is quite spacious, I'm sorry for you for one night!"
Zuo Yichan opened his eyes, the woman and the middle-aged man hurriedly got up, the old man picked up a fire stick, pulled the ashes of the fire away, and suddenly the sparks flew wildly, and said: "Come to the cold house, I am very grateful, tonight you will sleep in the left cave room, there is a bed in it, what are you still standing there doing, come and bake the fire, this is what you said about the grandson-in-law? The manly husband can bend and stretch, now suffering does not mean that he has been suffering, come and let the old man take a good look, how can it be like this? Xiaoye, go get some water!"
Seeing that the middle-aged man was about to go to fetch water with a bucket, Zijun hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No need, I have my own intentions, the time has not yet come, I still have to pick up Xiangzi and them, go first!"
Saying that, Zijun flew away, this time the old left three mouths were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths, because they were sleeping when they came before, so they didn't see it, now they look at it like this, without waiting for Zuo Yizen to say anything first, Qu Zhonghe slowly sat beside him, and said proudly: "I forgot to tell you, this is my immortal grandson-in-law, bring it to you to stain it, and you haven't taken out the pipe you have treasured for many years?"
Lao Zuo laughed, walked into the house and took out a very good pipe, winding, natural, Lao Qu lit a cigarette and smoked two puffs, and began to say: "You weren't there that day, this child suddenly came out, crying and laughing, homesickness is really a mysterious place, a year ago I first picked up the incense, and now I have picked up the immortals, do you say I want to fly Huang Tengda!"
Zuo Yizen grabbed Qu Zhonghe's arm, squeezed it tightly and trembled twice, and said in a sincere tone: "Don't forget me when the time comes!"
Qu Zhonghe smiled and said: "Since I have nowhere to come to you, I have already made it clear what I mean, what do you think about what you do?" ”
Then he sighed again and said, "I just don't know that he can't pass the level of sealing the Demon City!"
Zuo Yichan seemed to remember something, and whispered in his ear: "Why don't you send him out?" From the tunnel we dug, we can avoid those officers and soldiers, go outside, and come back after I grow up, and I don't care if you can soar, you just say whether you agree or not!"
Qu Zhonghe looked embarrassed and said, "Isn't that still undug up? If the two of us are tired for another four or five months, we can do it!"
Zuo Zhichan distanced him, hugged his knees, and said after a while: "As long as you agree, I will immediately gather my former friends, there are also forty or fifty people, there is no way out for begging in the city, and it is almost the same to work overtime for four or five days! We have been digging for four years, and this heart is also tired, and my body is almost unable to dry, so you can not do it!"
Qu Zhonghe extinguished the smoke and gave it back to Zuo Yichan, and he muttered: "It's okay for me to promise, I have to ask him!"
Zuo Reverse Chan said: "Then you find a time to ask! Don't tell others, no one will survive if the news is leaked, it doesn't matter to us, even if we involve the immortals, we will be punished by God!"
Qu Zhonghe was a little reluctant to praise Zijun just now, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Lao Zuo, I don't know how to say it, in fact, I asked him just now, and he said that he hasn't become an immortal yet!"
Zuo Zhichan chuckled and said, "How can you fly if you don't become an immortal?" You are really old and confused, you must have been deceived by him!"
After a while, Zijun landed on the ground with Xiangzi's waist, followed by Luo Xiaorou, the middle-aged man known as Xiaoye glanced at it quietly, and quickly turned his head!
As soon as Kako came, she ran over to greet the woman, and the woman was glad to see the girl, and welcomed them warmly.
Take out some boiled wild potatoes from the inner room, roast sweet potatoes and eat them first, then make a fire, cook vegetables and kill chickens, and be busy.
Luo Xiaorou seemed to be familiar with all this, and went to help the women do it, and Xiangzi cheered on the side.
Zijun closed his eyes and felt that the family had almost emptied everything in the cave to entertain them.
It seems that he will have to fill them up tomorrow, and for the time being, he can only do this, seeing that the girl in white seems to be very rich, it seems that he has to go to him for "help"!
The crippled Xiangzi is innocent and innocent, and she doesn't know the word return, since a Qu Zhonghe brought her here, under the warm hospitality of women, Xiangzi fell in love with the enthusiasm of women, and came to eat many times, which is tantamount to adding insult to this already extremely poor family, but she didn't say anything behind it, just gritted her teeth and persevered!
Poverty does not mean dirty, and the food is very fragrant.
After eating, Zijun moved out of the bed in Najie and slept on one, right at the entrance of the cave.
The rest of them slept in the cave.
"Hey, do you really not give me Jiangshan Sheji for the last time today?" I was just about to sleep, and I didn't have to look back to know that it was Luo Xiaorou, this woman seemed to know the word "Jiangshan Sheji" and fell in love with it, and said it no less than twenty times in one night!
The girl was lying on the side of Zijun's bed, her eyes were still so pitiful, Zijun muttered: "You go to dream, there is everything in your dream......!"
Zijun thought about something, sat up, as if he hadn't had that terrible dream since he got the Sky Eater Ant, what was going on, was it a hint?
Shaking her head and lying down again, the girl got up and smiled: "Okay, today's question has been completed, and the rest will be asked tomorrow!"
Zijun suddenly asked, "Will you be tired one day?"
The girl was suddenly stunned and sighed.
The young man smiled: "It's okay, just say it casually!"
......
The scene in front of me is quite like a painting: the dissolving moonlight, the leisurely stream, the thousands of lights and nights are clear and paused, like the stars on earth, but not as bright as the sky, the sparkling water surface is calm, and there are no fish in it.
The mountains are wrapped with dead branches and leaves, the moss on the stone cliffs is mottled, and those little birds are small, too far away from the thousands of wings spread ten meters in the village, I don't know where the next memory will be, but I vaguely feel that there is here, so I came here!
I also met another Xiangzi in another world, the boy thought about this, and gradually fell asleep, snoring in the cave, and the wind outside the cave was calm.
Sometimes illusory things can't be painted, so they have to borrow from reality, just like this landscape, just like that suffering, although it looks good at a glance, but in those unknown corners, some people are reluctant to survive!
......
