Chapter 5: It's late autumn
In order to celebrate Lu Xian's birthday, Lin Yuan came to the door of the hut with a table of good dishes, and he knocked on the door. www.biquge.info As expected, Lu Xian didn't sleep out of worry. The door was opened, and before Lin Yuan could show the table of delicious food behind him, he was grabbed by Lu Xian and taken into the room.
"Come in! you're in trouble, aren't you!?"
When Lu Xian said this, he hadn't had time to see the bruises and scars on the face of the man in front of him, otherwise he wouldn't have asked so stupidly. Like Lin Yuan, he won't ask. He was looking at Lu Xian with a puzzled head, and she also had bruises on her face and a large part of her forehead.
"What's wrong with you? ”
The two of them asked this sentence at the same time, frowning at the same time, and feeling sorry for each other at the same time.
Lin Yuan explained his experience a little and said, "I was beaten by Guan Fan's people. They tried to retrieve the spirit stone, but they didn't succeed. What about you? Hit your head?"
Lu Xian nodded, "After you leave, I will come to play with our landlord's little master to play ball, and I will pick up the ball when it rolls on the street, but I was accidentally hit by a galloping horse." ”
Galloping horses? Lin Yuan remembered that there were very few roads in this town that allowed horse racing, and the one at the gate was obviously not.
Lu Xian said that the herald who bumped into him was a herald with the privilege of galloping horses, and he looked particularly anxious, "I guess I went to rush to reincarnate." She cursed dissatisfiedly, and suddenly put on a smiling face again, and turned around happily and took out a wooden dinner plate from under the bed, on which were placed steamed buns and a plate of spiced beef, as well as garlic sauce dipping sauce. "The proprietress saw me pick up the ball and was hit by a car, and took pity on me for giving it to me. Let's eat together!"
Lin Yuan looked at Lu Xian, who had a broken head, and looked at her elated appearance when she held the dinner plate, and his heart tightened inexplicably.
"You are not pitiful. You are a monk, and the shopkeeper's family is mortal. They are pitiful. ”
"Is that so?" Lu Xian put on a smiling face, smiling very reluctantly, and he pretended to be at first glance.
Looking at the plate of carefully preserved sauced beef, Lin Yuan was about to cry. He pushed open the door and went to get the delicious food he had prepared. The dining table at the door was too big to enter the room, so he put the dishes on the bed one by one.
"I also brought food back, let's eat together!"
Originally, he wanted to sing 'Happy Birthday Celebration' to Lu Xian, but now that he thinks about it, he is exempt. On his birthday, he was hit by a horse and broke his head, and was pitifully given a plate of meat, and hid it like a treasure waiting for him to come back and eat it together. She wanted to make herself happy, but she brought back more delicious food. God knows how hard she has endured it all the time without stealing food, and now those hard work and kindness seem redundant.
This woman is so miserable. Lin Yuan decided to pretend that he didn't know her birthday, it would be too embarrassing to say it.
When Lu Xian saw Lin Yuan bringing a bunch of dishes, he was really disappointed. She wanted to entertain the man in front of her, but she entertained her. But the thought was fleeting, and the tempting sight of so many steaming meals in front of me was so tempting. Look at the oily sauce pig's trotters, the bright pork belly, and the white, soft and red-dotted steamed buns, no matter how bad the mood is, it will be swept away.
The two decided not to talk about the unhappy, shook off their cheeks and began to eat. Lin Yuan regarded what happened to him today as a story and told it in a very relaxed tone.
"It's a good thing I didn't go with you, otherwise I would have held you back!" Lu Xian said, and slapped away Lin Yuan, who wanted to move the wine jug, with a chopstick. "Eat your food! Don't drink. ”
Lin didn't like wine very much, so it didn't matter if he didn't drink it. Then he talked about how he pinched the condensation qi used for cultivation and used his aura to scare those thugs. There was a lot of boasting in his tone.
Lu Xian praised him for his good brain while listening, and by the way, he slapped away his hand that wanted to move the sauce beef with chopsticks.
"Don't eat beef in sauce! Don't eat either plate. ”
Lin Yuan was a little puzzled at this moment, "Why, isn't this meat good?" He understood if he didn't let him drink, after all, he was injured, and drinking that thing was not conducive to recovery. But beef is such a good thing, why can't you eat it?
The two of them have been in turmoil for a long time, and when Lu Xian saw that he had almost eaten, he suddenly put on a serious face.
"Don't eat yet, let's get down to business. She said, gesturing to the pile of food on the bed, "Can you explain to me where you got this steaming table so late?" ”
"Uhh It's impossible to have a kitchen with a fire in the middle of the night, and there are no late-night restaurants in the town.
"And what!" Lu Xian continued, "Why is this dish exactly the same as the one the shopkeeper ate at noon today?" ”
"Uh... Coincidence..."
"I knew you would say that. Lu Xian grabbed two plates of beef in sauce and compared them, "You come and tell me, this beef is exactly the same on the plate, the number of meat slices is the same, and even the garlic in the sauce is the same." Is there such a coincidence in the world?"
"Nope. ”
Lu Xian finished asking, put away his serious face, and put on a helpless expression.
"I know you have secrets, and I know I shouldn't ask. Now I want you to be careful in the future, and don't show so many feet again. ”
"It's still our Lu Fairy who is smart. Lin Yuan said this, taking out a stone from his trouser pocket and throwing it to her, "You come to see my stone." ”
Lu Xian took the thing thrown by the man in front of him and found the double-headed snake pattern on it. With this delicate ornamentation, it must be very valuable if it is carved on jade. She was still observing, and Lin Yuan on the side was ready to tell a story.
In the fairy and demon stories that Lin Yuan has heard, the protagonist will always get a certain treasure at the beginning. These people, without exception, hide the secrets of their treasures and never tell anyone about them. But he couldn't hold it back today.
Looking at Lu Xian's simple face like a village girl, he thought to himself: 'Those words are said to her...... It should be all right?'
---
It took a whole night for Lin Yuan to make things clear about himself and his younger brother. There is no hidden detail in it, and I finally poured out all my thoughts happily, and the whole person is a lot more relaxed.
Lu Xian listened as he helped clean his body full of wounds, smeared the wine in the pot and rubbed it vigorously. Promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis. When the story is told, the wound is treated, and the day is dawning. The food on the bed was gone, and there was no soup left.
After listening to the story, Lu Xian let out a long sigh.
"If it's a secret, why do you tell it to me? ”
"What??" Lin Yuan scratched his head and was a little puzzled, "Fairy Lu, you secretly drank wine, did you talk nonsense!"
"Haven't you heard of it?" Lu Xian flattened his mouth and complained, "People can only share sorrows and sorrows, not happiness, and will cause jealousy and contradictions due to uneven interests." ”
Lin Yuan had heard this truth, but he couldn't understand it. However, he knew another point very well, telling the secret by himself was tantamount to forcing Lu Xian to help him keep the secret and bother her in vain. It's really selfish to look at yourself this way.
---
The two chatted all night, they were too tired to work, and they were both injured, so they sat on the bed and fell asleep slowly unconsciously. When they woke up, no one talked about the serpentine. Lu Xian pretended that he hadn't heard anything, and Lin Yuan also tacitly pretended that he hadn't said anything.
After their free time, they tried to extract some spiritual energy from the spirit stones, and the power of the spirit stones was seriously beyond the imagination of the two. After absorbing the spiritual power in it, the sea of qi that directly caused them to dry up was filled with the most abundant spiritual energy, and they were all about to overflow.
In this state, even if they didn't pinch the Qi Condensation Qi to point out their cultivation, the aura in the Qi Sea would uncontrollably surging towards the Qi veins. In just half a day's effort, the two of them had opened up two of the seventy-two qi veins, and the aura in the spirit stone was still strong.
"This spirit stone is really powerful...... Lin Yuan grabbed the stone with a complicated expression, "I'm already starting to regret exchanging it for food." ”
Lu Xian was powerless with her hands on her forehead, and she wanted to hit someone. She felt more and more that the man next to her was an idiot.

In the mortal state, 'the royal power does not fall below the county', and the management at the town level mainly depends on the chief and the gentry. The management of the cyclamen town is the Liu family, the big family in the town, and the Liu family, who controls the casino, restaurant, and pawnshop industries.
Today, the Liu family is extremely busy. According to the herald who came from Linshan Castle yesterday, a group of robbers and horse thieves came to the vicinity of their town.
Among those horse thieves were low-ranking monks, who had managed to sack several villages and loot their belongings. This time I came to see the rich cyclamen town. I just don't know how they will break through in the face of the town's defenses.
Almost every member of the Liu family has been practicing martial arts since childhood, and their kung fu is not bad, so that they can cover the family industry. Its power is incomparable to that of ordinary horse thieves. Even low-level immortals can only flee in the face of a rain of arrows shot by hundreds of mortals.
Just when the Liu family was busy contacting other families in the town to prepare to defend to the death, new news came. It is said that the horse thief has penetrated into the depths of the smoky mountains, and I don't know what the hell is going on. The Liu family did not dare to relax their vigilance, and still tried their best to be vigilant, and they waited for a month.

The time has entered the late autumn, and Lu Xian has made a few dollars by helping people copy books. The place where the two lived was really cold, and the clothes were thin, so it was time to go out and buy winter leather goods. Fortunately, the town is near the mountains, and these things are not expensive.
The cultivation of the two of them was stuck in the last qi vein at the same time, and Zhou Tian was almost about to be opened, but there was a point that couldn't be rushed. As for the spirit stone, although it still has some aura, it can't help with the breakthrough problem.
Lin Yuan and Lu Xian were very anxious, and they had already begun to think about whether to go into the mountains to hunt some spirits. According to the record of the "Immortal Chronicles", the crystal nucleus in the spirit monster's body can refine the alchemy and help break through. They also had some means of hunting spirits, namely the small bow that they got from the monk surnamed Kong.
Although the two of them have not yet cultivated to immortals, they are already able to draw the bow and direct the arrows to follow the enemy. However, the two of them have to consume all the spiritual energy once they pull the bow, but there are spirit stones that can be replenished in time, and it doesn't seem to be a big problem to enter the mountain. If you don't go now, maybe in a month the snow will be closed.
Lin Yuan went out with the money to buy old leather clothes, and by the way, he found some scrap iron materials that could be used to make arrowheads. When he returned home with a bag of things, he found that Lu Xian was being blocked in the house by the shopkeeper and his wife, pointing at his nose and scolding, and their son was standing next to him. The little master was crying.
"What's the matter!!" Lin Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to push the shopkeeper away and stopped in front of Lu Xian, "What's going on?!"
Lu Xian's expression seemed to be even angrier than this couple, his face was hideous, and he gritted his teeth fiercely, an expression that Lin Yuan had never seen before.
"Brother Lin Yuan, I was just cultivating, and I was lucky enough to touch the breakthrough path, and I was about to break through the seventy-second vein to open Zhou Tian. But this kid!!" She pointed at the young master. "He pushed open the door and took away the spirit stone in my hand when I was cultivating, causing my lack of spiritual energy to break through and fail, and more than 20 qi veins dried up due to the failure of the breakthrough!
The shopkeeper's family couldn't understand Lu Xian's words at all, so they just thought she was crazy. They only knew that their child was beaten by Lu Xian and hit the back of the head, and they wanted to get justice for their son.
In fact, although Lu Xian was angry, he didn't make a move, and the little young master collided with the aura in the spirit stone and fell down by himself.
"Get out! You two get out of here! Our couple is so good to you, I didn't expect you two to be such scoundrels, white-eyed wolves who can't be raised!"
After Lin Yuan understood the situation, he looked at the little young master coldly, and he was still holding his spirit stone in his hand. "Don't worry about these people. Lin Yuan comforted Lu Xian, "We originally planned to enter the mountain, it's time to get out of here!"
As he said this, he grabbed the little young master, snatched the spirit stone back despite his cries for help, and then threw it on the ground.
The two of them had no luggage, only a cloth bag with a small bow. Lu Xian grabbed the cloth bag with one hand and Lin Yuan's hand with the other, controlling his anger and preventing him from flareing up, and walked away from the courtyard quickly. She didn't know what was wrong with her, she had never been so angry. This feeling is worrying.
Lin Yuan sensed this uneasiness, and squeezed Lu Xian's little hand tightly with a smile.
"Don't be angry. The mountains and forests are just like my home, I'll take you home! Do you want to meet my brother Lin Ye? He definitely likes you. ”
