Chapter 13 The Trip to Tangyin Mountain
Qinghualou is a time-honored brand in Meicheng for nearly 100 years, and the green plum wine brewed in the store has enjoyed a good reputation in Meicheng for many years. The green plum used for winemaking is picked from the plum forest outside the plum city, the wine is fragrant and the entrance is sweet, and the people who come to this blue and white building are indispensable to order a pot to taste.
Yue Mingxin called Xiao Er to the front, ordered seven or eight dishes in a moment, and finally asked for two pots of this year's new plum wine, Xiao Er was ordered to turn around.
Jiang Jianqiu touched his chin, looked at Yue Mingxin and chuckled, "Miss Yue, I see that you order the food neatly, but it is very different from usual!"
Yue Mingxin covered her mouth and chuckled, and said: "Mingxin's master and all the senior brothers have a headache about these trivial matters, so they shirk it to me every time, and over time they have been exercised. β
Ling Shengxue looked at Jiang Jianqiu on the side, and said, "It seems that there are those who are indispensable in any sect and who are idle all day long. β
Jiang Jianqiu picked up the teapot and poured tea into his cup, pretending not to hear. Mo Danfeng on the side said with a smile: "The two girls are so dignified and beautiful, why do you do such idle things, even if you are instructed to do anything, you will try your best to complete it in the future!"
Jiang Jianqiu sighed on the side and said, "Nerd, it's better to say something straight about you, my junior sister doesn't eat sycophants." Hearing this, a look of embarrassment flashed on Mo Danfeng's face, and he lowered his head and smiled.
While everyone was talking, Xiao Er had already brought the dishes to the table, this blue and white building was worthy of being a century-old restaurant, the dishes were very exquisite, and in a blink of an eye, the table was full of dazzling.
Before the dishes were ready, the old man over there had already picked up his chopsticks and started to eat violently, and he accidentally rolled his eyes in a choked manner. Jiang Jianqiu watched from the side, frowning and thinking that this old man really didn't know how long it had been since he had eaten a full meal. Yue Mingxin chuckled slightly on the side, as if it didn't matter.
Jiang Jianqiu injured two ribs when he fought against Forget Worry before, although the monk's own recovery ability and endurance were beyond ordinary people, but after all, he still had to suffer some effects, so he only ate a little. And Ling Shengxue ate less, just symbolically pinched a few vegetable leaves and stopped his chopsticks, sitting there quietly with no intention of eating again.
Yue Ling'er on the side saw it and said, "Big sister, if you eat so little, you won't grow tall!" Ling Shengxue shook her head and said, "The exercises I have practiced since I was a child require frequent fasting, so I usually eat very little. β
Jiang Jianqiu poured a glass of green plum wine on the side and drank it all, and said to Yue Ling'er with a smile: "Actually, my junior sister grew up eating stones since she was a child, so she can't get used to eating these meats, vegetables, or something. As he spoke, he lightly raised his right leg and dodged Ling Shengxue's heavy foot.
Yue Ling'er stared at her eyes and said, "It's really fake?" Jiang Jianqiu poured wine there, but he had no intention of continuing to answer.
At this moment, the nerd Mo Danfeng on the side seemed to be in a mood, and kept pouring himself drinks, almost drinking the pot of green plum wine in front of him, and he shouted loudly: "Good wine, good wine." Singing about wine, uh......" Halfway through, the nerd's head sank, but he fell asleep on the table.
Jiang Jianqiu couldn't help but say helplessly on the side: "This nerd usually has to drink a lot, and no one cares about you if you sleep and die here." Jiang Jianqiu looked at Mo Danfeng, who was asleep, thought for a while and said, "But being possessed by the demon sword and being drunk so drunk as if nothing happened, this nerd is really a rare wonder." β
Tian Lao, who had been only eating with his head bored before, suddenly raised his head and glanced at Mo Danfeng, who was sleeping deeply, and muttered, "Boy, you don't understand this." The demon sword guide on the nerd's waist can't be dissolved by his qi and dantian wine, otherwise I estimate that these few pots of wine are not enough for him to stuff his teeth. β
Jiang Jianqiu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and suddenly said: "Speaking of which, people who are possessed by evil things often lose their minds, I think it's a little weird how this nerd still acts as usual." β
At this moment, Tianlao turned his attention back to the table full of delicacies, and seemed to be deaf to Jiang Jianqiu's words. Jiang Jianqiu saw that the old man ignored him, pouted and went to the side to pour himself a drink.
Tian Lao glanced at the blood sword on Mo Danfeng's waist, and muttered to himself, "The demon sword is bloody...... The last time I was born was from King Tang's meeting, how many years have passed?"
The old man raised his hands and began to count with his fingers, and after a long time of counting back and forth, he didn't understand, and finally shook his head depressedly, picked up the chopsticks and continued to sweep the delicious food on the table.
Yue Mingxin saw that Jiang Ling and the others had no intention of being on this table full of delicious food, so she looked straight and said to them: "Brother Jiang, Miss Ling, the child who was taken away by forgetting worries, the little sister still can't rest assured after thinking about it. Why don't I wait for the three of us to go to Sanssouci Valley, everyone can act when they see the opportunity, maybe they can be saved. β
Ling Shengxue had no expression on her face, and said coldly: "Miss Yue, you don't need to say it anymore, although my senior brother and I are not thin and cool people, we need to do what we can when the road is uneven." You grew up in a wealthy compound since you were a child, and you don't know the dangers of this world, and human life is fleeting. Even if you are enthusiastic, if you insist on acting recklessly, you will inevitably be in danger of your life. β
Yue Mingxin knew that what Ling Shengxue said was true, that Ling Shengxue didn't talk much on weekdays, but when she said it, she couldn't find any reason to refute it for a while.
At this time, Yue Ling'er on the side suddenly said to Ling Shengxue: "Big sister, you don't know, my sister is a good person when she was a child, and when she sees an injured kitten or a puppy or something, she won't stop if she doesn't cure it, even if the flowers and plants on the side of the road are broken, she has to go over and straighten them up." β
Tian Lao listened and looked at Yue Mingxin, swallowed the mouthful of wine and food, and then cleared his throat and said, "This girl is young, but she has a bodhisattva heart, which is really rare. The old man walked in all directions, but he was familiar with some physiognomy techniques. It just so happened that I had nothing to do today, so the girl stretched out her right hand and asked the old man to look at the numerology for you?"
That Yuemingxin was still thinking about the kidnapped children at the moment, where was she in any mood to look at them. But she looked at herself with a blank look and couldn't refuse, so she reluctantly stretched out her right hand and put it in the old man's palm.
Tian Lao held up the palm of Yuemingxin's hand, and there seemed to be a faint glimmer of light flowing in his old eyes. The old man held this hand and looked at it carefully for a long time before putting it down, then closed his eyes and thought for a moment before opening his eyes and looking at Yuemingxin. In just this moment, the old man's demeanor showed a tired look, as if this deduction had also consumed a lot of energy. Jiang Jianqiu smiled secretly on the side, and said in his heart that this old man's acting skills are first-class.
"Numerology metaphysics has existed since ancient times, and people in the world often only get its skin. The old man's method of contemplating the image is transmitted from the Kunlun lineage, and it is not something that ordinary people in the world can comprehend. As the so-called fate is determined by heaven, the phase is born from the heart, although the appearance is a small technique, the great one needs to check the heavens and know the location, the people in the middle, and all things are derived, so that they can peep into reincarnation and understand ......life and death," the old man gushed out.
Seeing that he was getting more and more energetic, Jiang Jianqiu on the side yawned a lot, thinking that this old man looked confused, this set of kung fu to deceive people in the rivers and lakes was learned solidly, such a large amount of nonsense about the conch, I don't know how long it took him to memorize so skillfully.
The old man said for half an hour, and when he saw that everyone was gradually impatient, he stopped and said to Yue Mingxin: "The girl's palms are well-proportioned, and the palm prints are clear and reasonable, she should be born worry-free and grow up in a healthy state." It's just that he seems to have been separated from his relatives since he was a child, and the line of kinship is very shallow. β
Yue Mingxin was shocked when she heard this, and said in surprise: "What the old gentleman said is very right, I have been studying art in the master since I was a child, and I have never seen my parents since then, even Ling'er only came to me a few months ago." β
Tian Lao nodded and continued: "Little girl, you are not only well-behaved, but also have a sweet mouth when you speak. The old man can't talk about three words, the old man has lived too long, and he can't remember his name, there is only one word 'day' left, you can call me Tianlao. β
Tian Lao looked at Yue Mingxin and said slowly: "Your kinship is destined to be shallow, and I am afraid that you will get together less and leave more with your relatives in the future." There is a ravine in your destiny, and when you are twenty years old, you are destined to have a catastrophe. And then the life pattern diverged and melted into the palm, this palmistry is peculiar, and the old man has read countless people in his life, and he has never seen it. β
Yue Mingxin couldn't figure out what the old man meant for a while, but this is also the usual method used by these Jianghu Lang, and after a meal of blowing the conch, the words were vague and ambiguous, and the so-called positive and negative sides are reasonable.
That Yue Ling'er couldn't sit still, and asked loudly: "Grandpa, what do you mean, what calamity does my sister have when she is twenty years old?"
Tian Lao shook his head with a smile, and said with a little mystery: "The old man is just a glimpse of reincarnation, and the heavenly secret must not be revealed, otherwise he will be punished by God." Although your sister has a great calamity, she is reborn after the catastrophe and biochemical all things, which is the unique destiny of Diying. β
Yue Ling'er stared at her when she heard this, and said in surprise: "Diying......?
Yue Mingxin suddenly interrupted her words by holding Yue Ling'er on her shoulder, and then she turned her head and smiled at Tian Lao and said, "Tian Lao's speech is unfathomable, and even though the younger generation can only understand a few words, he has benefited a lot. β
Tian Lao raised the wine cup and drank it all, laughed a few times a little proudly, and then buried his head in the table full of wine and food.
Yue Ming's heart was silent for a moment, and her expression suddenly straightened, as if she had made up her mind. She said to Jiang Ling and the others: "Brother Jiang Ling, a few days ago, I joined forces with you and the two to fight against a strong enemy, and my little sister is grateful. In the future, if the two have the opportunity to come to Fengming City, they will definitely do their best to be the landlord. It's not early today, and I have to take Ling'er back to rest, so let's leave it at that. β
Jiang Jianqiu was stunned for a moment, as if he wanted to open his mouth to say something, Ling Shengxue secretly pulled his clothes, and then said indifferently: "Senior brother and I also want to leave immediately to return to the master to tell the master about Sanssouci Valley, after all, human life is at stake, the two of us will say goodbye first, and we will meet again!" After saying that, he forcibly pulled Jiang Jianqiu up, and after saying goodbye to everyone, he went down to the Qinghua Building.
Jiang Jianqiu and Ling Shengxue came out of the Qinghua Building to the corner of the street, Jiang Jianqiu couldn't help but say to Ling Shengxue: "Senior sister, that Yue Mingxin is obviously not giving up, and plans to go to Sanssouci Valley alone, let's just leave?"
Ling Shengxue said coldly: "She died by herself, and the two of us died by three people, so why take two more lives, let alone her own lives." We have all said what should have been said before, and the path she chooses by herself should be borne by herself. β
Jiang Jianqiu frowned, looked at Ling Shengxue and said, "Senior sister, I think you seem to be a little targeted at this girl everywhere, you are not such an indifferent person on weekdays. What's more, Miss Nayue also saved my life before, such a kind-hearted person, can you and I just watch her go into danger alone!"
Ling Shengxue's face was silent as usual, she did seem to have some hostility towards Yue Mingxin all along, but she couldn't tell where this hostility came from, anyway, there was always a trace of a feeling in her heart.
Ling Shengxue looked at Jiang Jianqiu, the two of them looked at each other, Jiang Jianqiu did not back down, and just froze in place. After a long time, Ling Shengxue sighed lightly and said in a low voice, "Senior brother, I expected you to insist. It's just that I see that Yue Mingxin is a little unhappy with the naΓ―ve appearance of not doing things in the world, this kind of person will not learn a lesson if he does not endure enough hardships. I pretended to leave in the hope that she would retreat. β
Jiang Jianqiu frowned and said: "It's nothing to endure hardships, but this forgetfulness is not an ordinary monster, in case that Yue Mingxin goes alone and loses his life, can you and I have a clear conscience?"
Ling Shengxue shook her head and continued: "Actually, I have been to the post station before, and I asked a messenger to send a handwritten letter to Huaishan to explain the matter of Sanssouci Valley to my father-in-law. In addition, I have prepared the horses for the Sanssouci Valley at the City Gate Station. It is estimated that the moon will set off in a moment, and you and I will go to the city gate to wait for her. β
Jiang Jianqiu laughed, patted Ling Shengxue on the shoulder and said, "This is my good junior sister, it turns out that you have already planned it, then let's set off immediately!" This jump touched the wound in his ribs, and Jiang Jianqiu grinned in pain.
Ling Shengxue's face was still carefree, and she said indifferently: "You and I act when we see the opportunity, even if that forgetting worry is a peak heavenly demon, it may not be without a chance." However, this trip is extremely dangerous, if the situation is critical, senior brother, you must not act recklessly. β
Jiang Jianqiu smiled and rubbed his hands, nodded hurriedly, and said, "Okay, well, I listen to you, junior sister, what do you want now?"
Ling Shengxue didn't speak again, silently turned around and walked out of the corner of the street in the direction of the city gate station, Jiang Jianqiu followed closely behind, and the figures of the two disappeared into the flow of people in an instant.
Upstairs in Qinghua, seeing Jiang Ling and the others leaving, Yue Mingxin's eyes showed a look of disappointment, but after a while, it was replaced by a resolute color. She had already made up her mind at this moment that she would find a way to save that group of children no matter what.
She lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then looked up and said to Ling'er: "Ling'er, my sister is going to do some things, you can go back to the deacon's mansion by yourself first, it's getting late, don't wander around the street." β
Yue Ling'er pursed her lips and said, "Are you still going to deal with that beautiful snake, you don't take me with you every time you go out to play, I'm very bored here alone!"
Yue Ming's heart looked straight, and said in a deep voice: "You know how to play, that Tangyin Mountain is not as good as this Meicheng." If my sister doesn't come back after seven days of going out this time, you will return to Fengming City by yourself and report the incident to my master. β
Yue Mingxin got up and walked straight downstairs, but disappeared into the corner of the building without turning his head.
Yue Ling's angry wow wow shouted: "It's really annoying, one by one they are gone, they don't take me to play, they are all bad people!"
The old man on the side picked up the wine glass, tilted his neck and drank a fine light, and said with a red face: "The feet are on their own legs, if they don't take us, won't we go by ourselves." β
Yue Ling'er's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she clapped her hands and said, "Yes, I'll go to that valley by myself, and then see if my sister is fast or I'm fast, haha." β
But then Yue Ling'er frowned, touched her forehead and said, "But I don't know the way, old man, do you know how to go through that valley?"
Tian Lao smiled mysteriously, shook his head and said, "The old man has traveled all over the world, and he doesn't know where the road is, you go and buy two more pots of wine, and when I have drunk it to my heart's content, I will take you to the little snake's den to make some trouble!"
Mo Danfeng, who was lying on the table and was asleep, turned over and said in a daze: "Where are you going to drink, don't forget to bring me ......" After speaking, he fell asleep again.
After Yue Mingxin walked out of the blue and white building quickly, he walked directly towards the city gate. Along the way, she recalled in her heart the scene of forgetting her worries in the ancient forest, and after thinking about it, she felt that she still had no chance alone. Then she smiled freely, thinking that even if she couldn't win, she would have to try, how could she not let the dozen or so young children die in vain.
During his contemplation, Yuemingxin had already walked out of the city gate, and it was already dark, and the outline of the rolling mountains of Tangyin Mountain could be faintly seen in the gray sky in the distance.
Looking at Tangyin Mountain, which was crouching on the horizon like a black dragon, Yue Ming's heart suddenly shook slightly inexplicably, was he a little too reckless this time? Tangyin Mountain stretched for thousands of miles, the depths of the mountain range were inaccessible, and there were countless earth-level demon beasts, even heaven-level demon beasts were not uncommon. That forgetting worries is the peak of the Heavenly Demon, and going alone is there a glimmer of success?
Thousands of thoughts rushed to her heart, and Yueming's heart was a little stagnant, hesitating in place. She stood still for a long time, and finally her eyes were fixed, her face showed a stubborn look, and she walked towards the Chengkou Post Station, ready to find a fast horse to run to Tangyin Mountain.
Just as Yueming's heart and body moved, a slight sigh came from the dark place under the city wall on the side, and then Jiang Jianqiu's hearty voice sounded: "Moon girl, the moonlight is intoxicating tonight, and it is lonely to go on the road alone, why don't you let me and my junior sister accompany you for a ride!"
