Chapter 74: Chinese New Year's Eve
A moment later, Ning Zhe and Shi Xian walked out of the room in a daze at the same time, looking like they hadn't woken up. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Bingqing opened the steamed buns and side dishes he bought in the morning, and said to the two: "I have already bought the steamed buns, I have finished eating, let the two of you eat the rest." Shi Xian, here's a letter for you. ”
"Oh, which old man wrote to you?" Ning Zhe's eyes widened, he punched Shi Xian, laughed, and picked up the letter on the table and read it.
Ning Zhe read it, and when he finished reading, he found that Shi Xian's face was green with anger.
"Are you being cheated by others?" Ning Zhe looked at Shi Xian sympathetically, even if Shi Xian was rich, the two thousand taels of silver was not a small amount.
Shi Xian was so angry that he snatched the letter and tore it up directly, and snorted angrily: "It must be an old thing I knew before, and now I can't care about this blood jade if I don't want to." ”
Ning Zhe took a bite of the bun, looked at Shi Xian, and wondered: "Didn't you say that no one except the owner of the blood jade could unlock the seal inside, why do you have to care about it?"
Shi Xian said: "It is true that only the owner of the blood jade can unlock the seal in it, but some monsters have innate divine power, and they specialize in restraining the power of the blood jade, the things in this world are not absolute, all things are born and restrain each other, maybe one day the monster will break through the seal of the blood jade." Since the owner of this blood jade handed over the blood jade to me, it means that the things sealed inside are extraordinary. So I have to take care of it. And the blood jade does not only recognize one master, as long as the capable person can accept it, then it will recognize the master again. If it is discovered by a cultivator with bad intentions, it will not be good to use it for the sake of harming the world. ”
Ning Zhe was puzzled: "That blood jade is the size of a well, how can we take care of it? Could it be that we have been guarding it?"
Shi Xian said, "As long as we can take the blood jade and make it recognize its lord again, then it will always follow us." ”
"The question is how to subdue it?" Ning Zhe asked.
Shi Xian said: "We can communicate with it, if the soft one doesn't work, we will come to the hard one, and it will have to surrender to us." ”
Just as the two were talking, Yue'er suddenly pushed open the door and ran into the house, she ran to the three of them in a panic, holding a palm-sized jade in her hand, and said: "Look, when I came back just now, I accidentally fell and broke my hand, and my blood fell on the top of the well, and then the well became the stone in my hand." ”
The three of them looked curiously at the jade in Yue'er's hand, which was also dark green, and it looked like a miniature version of the blood jade. Ning Zhe walked over and pushed open the door, and found that the well in the courtyard was indeed gone.
Bingqing wanted to reach out to take the smaller blood jade in Yue'er's hand, but when she touched the blood jade, she was suddenly bounced back by a force. Shi Xian also tried, but was also blocked by that power.
Seeing this, Shi Xian exclaimed, "It seems that this blood jade has re-recognized Yue'er as its new master, which is really mysterious." ”
Ning Zhe closed the door and walked back, and said to Yue'er: "You try to communicate with it and see if you can know what the monster sealed inside is." ”
Yue'er let out an "oh", revealing a half-understanding look, playing with the jade in her hand, not knowing how to communicate with it.
"Can you understand what I'm saying?" Yue'er said to the blood jade, then put it to her ear.
Yue'er listened for a while, shook her head and said, "It can't speak, how can I communicate with it?"
Shi Xian touched Yue'er's head and smiled, "You try to communicate with it with your heart." ”
Yue'er nodded, then held the blood jade to her chest and closed her eyes.
After a while, Yue'er suddenly opened her eyes, and showed a frightened look, and said to the three of them: "I saw that there is a monster with three heads, seven tails and a pair of wings like a tiger, it is so scary, it is still coming to me with porcelain teeth, and it wants to eat me." ”
After listening to Yue'er's description, Ning Zhe said to Shi Xian, "Do you know what the monster she is talking about?"
Shi Xian shook his head and said, "Let me think about it, I've almost forgotten the previous things, give me some time to reminisce." After saying that, Shi Xian returned to the bedroom with a frown.
Ning Zhe shouted at him, "You haven't eaten yet, think about it after eating." ”
"Don't eat it, you eat it all, I'm not hungry. Shi Xian said in the room.
After listening to Shi Xian's words, Ning Zhe was not polite, let Yue'er eat a bun, and then ate all the remaining buns.
After a while, Bingqing said to Ning Zhe: "I want to write a letter to the elders of the Antarctic Immortal Palace, telling them that I found you, and about the falling out with the Beigong family, so that they don't come to the Central Plains." ”
"Well, it just so happens that there is pen and ink paper in the study, I'll go get it for you. Ning Zhe went to the study to get pen, ink and paper, so Bingqing lowered his head and wrote the letter.
After writing the letter, Bing Qing summoned an Ice Spirit Gu and let the Ice Spirit Gu take the envelope in his mouth and send the letter away.
Looking at the Ice Spirit Gu that flew away, Ning Zhe said curiously, "I didn't expect the Ice Spirit Gu to be able to transmit messages for people." ”
Bingqing smiled: "In the past, I practiced alone in the depths of the ice field, and when I encountered difficulties or got lost, I would use the Ice Spirit Gu to send a message to the elders, so that they would come to me." ”
Bingqing smiled at first, but as he spoke, he was a little lost. Ning Zhe saw it in his eyes and sighed lightly: "Do you miss them?"
Bingqing nodded and said, "Yes, when I was in the Ice Field, the elders and Dharma Protectors treated me like relatives, but now that I have been away from the Ice Fields for almost two years, I don't know how they are now." ”
"Since you miss them, why don't you go back?" Ning Zhe asked.
Bingqing looked at Ning Zhe and said, "Because of you, because you are my chance, unless you can go back to the ice field with me, I will always follow you." ”
Ning Zhe smiled bitterly: "What kind of chance, it's just that the ancestor of your sect pities people like me, you don't have to follow me, it will delay your life." ”
"I'm going to follow you anyway. Bingqing said firmly.
Ning Zhe felt strange when he heard this, and at this time Bingqing also reacted, and said embarrassedly: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that." ”
"What do you mean?" Ning Zhe pretended not to understand.
Bingqing blushed and said, "You are so shameless, don't you understand what I said to a shameless person like you?"
"Oh~" Ning Zhe pulled a long voice and said: "That's what it means, if you want to say that, I understand, if you follow me, you just like me, it just so happens that you are my goddess, and I also like you." ”
"Shameless!" Bingqing glared at Ning Zhe and said to Yue'er beside him: "Follow me back to the room, the master will teach you to read and write." ”
Yue'er giggled, followed behind Bingqing, and said while laughing, "Master, you seem to hate flirting with Brother Ning. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, what kind of flirting, you know what!" Bingqing yelled, causing Yue'er to shrink her neck in fright.
Yue'er secretly turned around and made a face at Ning Zhe, and then was dragged to the room by her master.
―――――――――――
Time flies, and today is Chinese New Year's Eve. Ning Zhe and the three of them have been living in the newly bought house with Yue'er, and their lives are very peaceful.
There is no movement in the Beigong Mansion these days, Ning Zhe and Shi Xian often go to the Drunken Immortal Residence to drink, and occasionally they will go to the broken temple in the west of the city to find moss to catch up. In addition to teaching Yue'er to read and write and practice Ice Spirit Gu every day, Bingqing went shopping in their spare time.
A few days ago, Wu Axiu and Wu Ergou brothers came to the capital to find Ning Zhe, and the two brothers specially sent a cow as a New Year's gift. After the lesson of the last time, Wu Ergou's personality has also become much more restrained, no longer obsessed with money, power and beauty, and now he and his brother are taking care of their elderly mother wholeheartedly at home.
After Shi Xian's explanation, Ning Zhe knew that this world had a lot to do with his original world, because the festivals of this world were basically the same as his original world. There are other related places, such as people in this world also know historical figures like Qin Shi Huang and Li Bai. The reason is that the people of this world and the people of Ning Zhe's original world will enter the ghost world of the underworld after death, and some ghosts in the underworld will cultivate into ghost immortals, and the ghosts and immortals can enter and leave the human world and the ghost world at will, and it is they who connect the information communication between the two worlds.
Now the snow in the capital has almost melted, the streets are bustling and bustling, the smell of gunpowder of firecrackers is exuding in the air, everyone is dressed in festive costumes, all of them are beaming, and there are so many colorful figures shaking in every street and alley, flowing like a river, with no head in front and no end in sight.
Every household has cleaned the houses and courtyards, pasted Spring Festival couplets and New Year paintings, and everywhere has a new look.
A few days before and after the Chinese New Year, the drunken fairy house was also closed, Sister Zhu gave the guys a holiday, and the women also wore joyful clothes to buy rouge gouache and New Year's gifts for Sister Zhu. Sister Zhu is not only the boss of Drunken Immortal Residence, but also the mother of the guys and women.
At noon, Sister Zhu personally invited Ning Zhe and the others to Drunken Immortal Residence for dinner, because Sister Zhu knew that Ning Zhe and the others had no relatives here, so they treated them as relatives.
In addition to Ning Zhe, Shi Xian, Bingqing and Yue'er, Sister Zhu also went to the broken temple in the west of the city to invite Moss and Situ Liuyun.
At this time, although the Drunken Immortal Residence has been closed for business, it is still very lively. The women sat at a few tables, the guys sat at a few tables, and Sister Zhu accompanied Ning Zhe and the others to sit at a table, and almost filled the seats downstairs.
Everyone was eating and talking lively, quite New Year's flavor.
At night, Shi Xian stayed in the Drunken Immortal Residence to accompany Sister Zhu, the guys in the Drunken Immortal Residence also gathered around to roll dice and gamble money, the women went out shopping, and Ning Zhe also accompanied Bingqing and Yue'er to visit the night market.
The street is lit up with lights, dragon and lion dances, and it is very lively.
Flowers rise in the air, some are as red as blood, just like red plums, and some are as white as jade, just like snow lotus. Suddenly they were like bright lights, shining red, and suddenly like stars, shining silver. It's really "the fire tree and the silver flower never sleeps".
Yue'er looked at the fireworks in the sky and laughed carefree.
All kinds of fireworks appear in the sky, some are like fairies scattering flowers, clusters rush into the sky in groups, and then slowly fall; some are like autumn chrysanthemums, moon flowers, thousands of purples and thousands of reds, in a thousand postures; some are like small meteors, rushing into the sky, and disappearing into the night sky in an instant.
Looking at these fireworks, Bingqing also danced with Yue'er, and at this moment finally showed the character that a young girl like her should have.
Bingqing and Yue'er were both wearing light red dresses, and the two girls looked particularly delicate and beautiful.
With a bang, another firework bloomed in the air, and the fireworks spread out like a fountain and slowly fell like a waterfall. Bingqing pointed to the fireworks in the air and laughed excitedly, she took a step forward, and didn't see a stone under her feet, which smashed her foot.
Bingqing let out an "oops" and squatted down to rub his feet. Ning Zhe was buying clay figurines for Yue'er at this time, and when he saw Bingqing squatting down, he quickly walked over, held Bingqing's arm, and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable?"
Bingqing raised his head and looked at Ning Zhe, smiling slightly, like a snow lotus blooming, beautiful and moving, and said softly: "It's okay, it's just that I accidentally broke my foot, just rub it." ”
At this time, Ning Zhe was still holding Bingqing's arm, he looked at Bingqing's beautiful face blankly, and was intoxicated.
Looking at Ning Zhe's eyes, Bingqing's face was slightly red, she gently withdrew her arm, turned around, and she also bumped into the deer, secretly, and smiled shyly.
