Chapter Twenty-Seven: Ji Ruoshui
"In the early morning, in the town of Koikeyama, when the first rays of sunlight shine through the faint and fresh mist, gently spraying on all things in the world, there is a special feeling that is pleasing to the eye. β
At this time, Su Chen woke up from his cultivation and settled down, he opened his eyes, felt refreshed all over his body, stood up, walked out of the room, and just walked to the middle of the corridor, just met with the six men last night, and both sides stopped and looked at each other. β
The six men were dressed extraordinarily, their expressions were extremely arrogant, their eyes were not good, they stared at Su Chen, looked at each other coldly, and then they were about to walk downstairs, their expressions seemed to be a little anxious, as if they had something important to do, and they wanted to do it in a hurry. β
Su Chen's eyes swept them a few times with cold eyes, these six men were obvious, with bad intentions and ill intentions, they had already discussed it last night, how to deal with the woman with the mask, he naturally would not show them a good face. β
"Stinky boy, why are you staring at me? Looking for death? Among the six men, one of the men saw Su Chen staring at them coldly, making him feel this kind of gaze, which made him extremely unhappy, so he said viciously. β
"If you don't want anyone to know, you can't do it unless you do. Su Chen replied calmly. He didn't have a good impression of these six people, and he was disdainful of them. β
"Stinky boy, what do you mean by that?" the man who threatened Su Chen said indifferently. β
The man in the middle glanced at Su Chen, turned back to the man and said, "Second brother, don't provoke right and wrong, go, we still have something to do." β
Su Chen's face was expressionless, calm and waveless, and he said as he walked: "The ancients said that people are good, although the blessing has not come, the disaster has been far away." People are evil, although the disaster has not come, the blessing has been far away. β
After Su Chen finished speaking, he ignored the six men, but walked towards the shopkeeper downstairs. β
Hearing this, the man who had threatened Su Chen wanted to continue, but let the man in the lead glare at him, he was silent again, and then a group of six people left the inn in a hurry. β
Before leaving, the man with the title stared at Su Chen seriously, remembering that a cold light flashed in his eyes. β
"Shopkeeper, morning. Su Chen came to the shopkeeper and spoke. β
The shopkeeper has been noticing this scene downstairs, he has insight into the world, and persuaded him: "Guest, those people just now, you must not continue to provoke them, they are the people of the Zhao family, the overlord of the nearby side, you are an outsider, you can't easily offend them, otherwise, it will lead to fire." β
"Oh, is it? Su Chen was stunned, but looking at the way they were dressed, the shopkeeper seemed to be very jealous of them, who were they?
The shopkeeper explained: "This place is near the misty forest, people who can survive here, even if they are a few years old, will also have some fists and feet, as for the monks, the outside world is rare, but this is the birthplace of the Taixuan Emperor, monks are not rare, thousands of years ago, the practice of cultivation has been handed down." β
"Although the monks here are not as famous as the three major sects in the world, they are all outlaws, and everyone who wants to survive here is almost all outlaws, everyone has experienced blood and chaos, and some monks often haunt the misty forest, all of them have experienced a hundred battles, are extremely strong, and are brave and fierce. β
"The Zhao family is one of the three wealthy families in the nearby towns, the Zhao family acts in a high-profile manner, often acts misbehaps, and the nearby residents are dissatisfied with the Zhao family, and they are also helpless. β
"The Zhao family has a great cause, there are hundreds of people in the Fuzhong Society, there are more than 20 monks, almost self-contained, and there is a powerful monk in the family, so they can be unscrupulous, and the people near the fish and meat, even the monks do not dare to offend easily, and the nearby residents are also frightened and taboo. β
I see, Su Chen nodded but didn't expect the Zhao family to be so good, looking at the cultivation world, it can also be called a small sect in the cultivation world, but he underestimated them. β
The shopkeeper warned Su Chen again and again, don't offend them, otherwise there will be no good end. β
Su Chen nodded and thanked the shopkeeper. β
After a while, Su Chen inquired about the woman with the phoenix bird pattern mask on her head last night. β
The shopkeeper laughed maliciously, stared at Su Chen and said with a smile: "Guest, do you want to inquire about Miss Ji?"
Su Chen was stared at by the old man, a little embarrassed, and said, "I'm just asking casually." β
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "You might as well ask in person." β
"Huh?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Guest, look behind yourself." β
At this time, Su Chen felt a cold air behind him, and he was directly frightened into a cold sweat, and he turned around involuntarily, and at some point there was a woman standing behind him, which frightened him and startled him suddenly. β
The woman looked at Su Chen and said a little unceremoniously, "Why are you asking me?"
Although the woman in front of her couldn't see her face, her eyes were a little cold, with a hint of anger, and her tone was not polite, but it was also very pleasant. β
The woman stared at Su Chen for a long time before he reacted, and his heart palpitated, as if his heart had been seen through. β
Su Chen panicked, slapped words clearly, and explained: "Misunderstanding...... Misunderstand...... FairyγMisunderstandingγIt's a misunderstanding.γ β
When the woman heard this, her tone calmed down a lot and calmed down. β
Su Chen was obviously taken aback by the woman, and before he could react, he hurriedly said, "Fairy, please sit down and talk." β
The woman withdrew her gaze and nodded, and then the two of them found an empty table and sat down with each other. β
After the two sat down, they looked at each other, Su Chen carefully observed the woman, he was dressed in aqua blue clothes, like a hollow valley orchid, elegant and natural, and the headband was engraved with a phoenix bird pattern mask, although it did not show its true face, it made people feel that there was a mysterious and dusty temperament. β
The woman's eyes also looked at Su Chen, carefully looking at the man in front of her who was about the same age as herself. β
She secretly said in her heart: "Last night, when I saw this person, I was embarrassed and sloppy, but when I saw it today, it made her eyes shine, Su Chen was dressed in plain clothes, dressed simply, with black hair and clear eyes, but he was also a talent." Not only that, but she probed and sensed that the man in front of her was also a Yuan Xuan Realm cultivator. β
Su Chen stared at the woman, retracted his gaze after a while, and explained: "Fairy, I happened to hear those six men last night, and they want to be bad for you. He told the woman everything he had heard last night, hoping that she would be on guard. β
After hearing Su Chen's explanation, the woman was a little embarrassed, and said in a very beautiful voice: "I see, I just misunderstood you." β
"It's good that the fairy understands things, but this group of people has bad intentions, so the fairy should pay more attention. β
"I didn't expect that a group of shameless villains, who were monks in vain, had intentions against me, plotted against me, and had such thoughts, and they should have been taught a hard lesson last time. Saying this, the woman's tone turned cold, and a cold light flashed in her eyes. β
"The fairy is out of the house, he is careful, people are harmless to the tiger, the tiger is harmful to people's hearts, I just heard the shopkeeper say that the Zhao family seems to be difficult to provoke, I advise the fairy to leave as soon as possible. β
The woman looked at Su Chen and thanked her and said, "Meeting is fate, my surname is Ji, and my name is like water." I don't know what to call Childe. β
Su Chen said calmly: "Su Chen." Two simple words. β
"I don't know where Brother Su came from and what he is doing here?" Ji Ruoshui asked. β
Su Chen was stunned, he didn't know how to tell it, after all, he arrived here from a million miles away overnight, and was thrown here by the predecessors of Huashan Peak, I'm afraid few people will believe it. He thought to himself, and the old man asked him to find three materials. β
Su Chen said calmly: "I am from a relatively distant place, and the purpose of coming here is to find three materials, blood-colored camellia, phoenix tail, peacock red, I don't know if the fairy can understand." β
Ji Ruoshui was a little surprised? Thinking about it, the man in front of him didn't want to tell his origin, and he didn't report his family. β
She thought in her heart, and then said calmly: "These are three kinds of spirit grass." β
"Oh, the fairy seems to know where it came from?"
Ji Ruoshui explained: "I have heard a little, but these three kinds of spirit grass are not suitable for growth, only places with extremely strong spiritual energy can grow, not only that, but where there is a spirit grass to grow, it is by no means simple and easy to pick, I am afraid that I will encounter some demon beasts that open the spiritual wisdom to guard." β
Su Chen nodded, I see, it's really not that simple, the old man said that he came to practice, but he didn't expect it to be the Misty Forest. β
"However, the three spirit grasses that the old man chose were all targeted at the periphery of the misty forest, and they were merged into it. β
"The deeper the Misty Forest goes, the more dangerous it becomes, and the Misty Forest area is millions of miles in circumference, more than twice as large as the entire South Ridge. β
"Although the Misty Forest is dangerous, as long as you don't go deeper, you still have a chance to pick spirit grass from the periphery. β
The two men talked to each other, and then the woman left the inn because she had traveled beforehand. β
Su Chen looked at the woman and left, he didn't see Ji Ruoshui's true face, he felt a little regretful in his heart, he didn't know if he had a chance to meet, although he was a monk, but he was also a young man's heart, and his low mood was probably due to the same illness of the young man. β
"Her demeanor is conversational, elegant and natural, mysterious and dusty, and her temperament is cold and indifferent, like the first bloom of a clear lotus, which is extremely eye-catching. β
After a while, Su Chen made a good plan, planned it, and prepared to enter the misty forest and pick three kinds of spirit grass. β
