Chapter 23: The River of the Western Styx
As soon as she walked into the gate of Jinhua Auction House, she was greeted by a young woman with a plain face and elegant and beautiful curves, which attracted the frequent attention of the surrounding crowd.
Put his hands on his lower abdomen, saluted slightly, stretched out his slender hand and said, "Young Master Yuan... Now it should be called Patriarch Yuan, please here!"
"Hmm. With a faint response, the young man followed the young woman and came all the way to a private room in Jinmeng Auction House, which was decorated with low-key luxury and connotation, which made people look comfortable.
The two sat down on the sofa one after another, and Jin Meng opened his mouth first, "I already know the purpose of Patriarch Yuan's coming, but I have a request, I wonder if Patriarch Yuan can agree?"
"You know, you don't have a choice. Leaning on the sofa, the young man said casually, let's see what the young woman can do.
Jin Meng had a resolute expression on his face, took out a pitch-black dagger, pressed it against his neck and said, "I wonder if if I die here, will I be able to cause some trouble to Patriarch Yuan?"
The divine sense called Lingqi to form a palm, slapped off the dagger in the hand of the young woman, sat up and said seriously: "Since I planted the soul mark, then I will be my person in the future, and if you have the same trouble, I will also help you deal with it, and call me the sword master in the future."
The soul power infiltrated into the soul space of Jinmeng, and added some material to the soul mark, only if she had this idea in the future, she would immediately feel painful... Sometimes, the necessary means are still needed.
"You..."Jin Meng also sensed the changes in herself, a little angry, and then like a deflated ball, soft enough on the sofa, she has worked hard for that goal all these years, and at this moment someone is finally willing to help her, but...
After a while, adjusting his mood, Jin Meng smiled happily and said: "The sword master is extremely talented, amazing and peerless, I want to ask you to support me, I don't want to live a mediocre life, I want to control my own destiny." ”
"Why do you need me to support you? I have a practice suitable for you to practice, the famous business and Taoist scriptures... But you have to understand that if you take this exercise, you will probably follow me for a long time. After calmly speaking, the boy leaned back on the sofa, ready to close his eyes and wait for her answer.
However, when Jin Meng learned of this choice, he said without hesitation: "Even if the catastrophe is not recovered, I will control my own destiny." "Compared with a hundred years of fleeting, she chooses to be short-lived and die without regrets!
"Very good, I hope you will not forget your original intention on the path of cultivation and do not betray me. The young man's calm words were imprinted into the heart of the young girl... Close your eyes and use the remnant soul to carve the Book of Business into the soul of a young woman.
The way of the strong is only the one that has the most people, and the business Tao Jing is an extreme way of cultivating wealth and throwing away the land of the Dharma.
Generally, such monks have endless wealth, countless strong men, and the magical power to turn waste into treasure, even a stone on the side of the road can make people willing to buy it at a sky-high price...
When she received the Business Tao Sutra, Jin Meng was completely shocked by the contents, and her horizons were broadened countless times, and then she realized how full of loopholes her plans were, and now her heart was full of confidence...
For the grace of the sword master, she remembered it in her heart, sat up straight, put her hands on her lap, and asked with a smile: "I don't know what arrangements the sword master has?"
"Collecting soul-reviving items or clues, this is what I need now, and something else, as you may have guessed. Placing a jade slip on the table, the young man slowly got up and walked outside...
The top of the vast snow-capped mountains
Qingli indifferently sat cross-legged with a girl in a white dress, adding a touch of beauty to this vast snow-capped mountain, like the finishing touch.
The girl put away the mirror in her hand, her immature face was full of sorrow, and she said to herself: "It turns out that Brother Yuan Jian meant that day... The rebirth stone is only enough to repair the soul and initially step into cultivation. ”
The figure of the white-robed old man appeared behind Yuan Xi'er, and was about to report something, but he was startled by Yuan Xi'er's next words.
Slowly getting up, the girl looked into the distance and said firmly: "Brother Yuan Jian, Xi'er will go to the River of the West Styx to collect soul-restoring items for you." ”
"Miss, the river of the West Styx is too dangerous for you to go... The last time I got the Death Stone, I lost several heaven-level masters. Jiang Lao explained anxiously, hoping that after knowing the danger, Yuan Xi'er could give up.
A white lotus flower rose from under Yuan Xi'er's feet, turned into a white light and disappeared into the distance, leaving her words in the air, "Tell my father and mother for me, my daughter's unfilial piety will make them worry again, but this trip must go, please don't force your daughter..."
Lingxi City, Jinhua Auction House
Looking at the departing figure below, many doubts arose in Jin Meng's heart, but the ones that shouldn't be asked, don't ask, they were all suppressed by her... used to practice with a desire, but now the departing figure has made her change her goal, and the immortal that everyone in the mainland dreams of becoming an immortal is now just a small goal for her.
"You promise me a prosperous life, and I will return your sincerity!" whispered, expressing Jin Meng's intentions, turned around and left the window, to do the things arranged by the sword master.
On the way back, Yuan Jian noticed that the surrounding Yuan family's bazaar was much more lively than when he came, it seemed that the second elder's action was still good, since the Huang and Tian families wanted to mistreat the Yuan family, then they should bear the consequences...
At night, on the top of the mountain behind Yuan's house, the young man looked at the mountains in the distance by starlight, recalling the bits and pieces with Xi'er, remembering to teach Xi'er to practice, and when she first drew qi into her body, a bright smile leaked from her face for the first time.
From the beginning when Xi'er ignored him, to the two became inseparable later, no matter what others said about him, Xi'er never disliked him, and even sometimes deliberately went to others to compete, and only relieved his anger when the person who said him was beaten all over his body...
Along with the memory, a touch of tenderness flashed on his face, which was exclusive to Xi'er, and in other women, the young man had never shown it... At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, waking him up who was still remembering.
Coming to Yuan Jian's side and standing quietly, Yuan Fang looked into the distance and said quietly: "Little brother, I miss Xi'er again;
"Love is also love, hate is also love, because of love comes hate, there is hatred and there is injury; love, it is inevitable to hurt, it is indispensable to wait, it is impossible to escape from longing, it is destined to be helpless. Recalling his previous life, the young man replied lightly to his eldest sister.
As a person who has come over, the young man probably understands the current situation of the eldest sister, and sighs with emotion, "Love is hard to break, love is unforgettable, love is born from the heart, and the heart will naturally hurt!".
"The younger brother is still as wise as ever, sister understands!" Yuan Fang seemed to have an understanding, and after praising him, he left the top of the mountain by himself.
The top of the back mountain used to be a place where teenagers often came, and it was also the place where he got along with girls the most, and when he came here, he seemed to feel closer to girls...
Standing quietly all night, the sky was white, Yuan Jian jumped down, the morning and evening sword appeared at his feet, and the sword of the Yuan family fell towards the Yuan family council hall, and the genius competition of Lingxi City was about to begin.
