Chapter 62: The Patriarch of Changli
In the early morning of the next day, the sun is rising, the morning light shines on the earth, and the entire Blue Spirit Mountain is bathed in golden sunlight, which is sacred like a fairyland, like a dream.
Rows of two-storey bamboo buildings, neatly arranged, row upon row, along the Lanling Mountain ups and downs, countless, at a glance, it seems to be a bright pearl inlaid on the green curtain, with a unique beauty.
In a bamboo building, there is a set of wooden tables and chairs, a wooden bed, and wisps of green smoke swirl in the room, exuding a faint fragrance, which makes people feel calm.
On the wooden bed, Jiang Chen's eyes were slightly closed, a faint aura was wrapped around his body, and an invisible sword intent rose above him, with restraint in the sharpness, containing a mysterious Dao rhyme.
Crunch.
The door of the bamboo building was opened, and a slender figure walked in slowly, Jiang Chen frowned, when cultivating, it was taboo to be disturbed, if he was cultivating to a critical juncture, he suddenly interrupted someone, and if he was not careful, he would go into the fire and fall into the devil, and the spiritual power would run wild, and the ending would be miserable.
Slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and looked towards the visitor, but the person who entered the room was a girl in a short skirt, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with fair skin, smart eyes, and a silver ornament that made a crisp sound as she walked, which was very pleasant.
This girl's eyes are very beautiful, black and white, pure and flawless, like a newborn baby, full of curiosity, staring at Jiang Chen back and forth, without the shyness of a Central Plains woman.
Jiang Chen's cultivation was interrupted, and he was quite angry in his heart, seeing the girl's eyes at this moment, the anger in his heart disappeared in an instant, in his memory, he had also seen such a pair of eyes, without impurities, bright and clear.
"Is there anything wrong with the girl here?"
The girl's eyes are quite weird, as if she sees a fun toy, and she seems to have come to a strange world, full of novelty about everything, both eager and curious, she has been staring at it, even if it is Jiang Chen, she is also uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the girl didn't look at it for long, but muttered in a low voice: "It's no different, just like our people, one pair of eyes, one mouth, two ears ......"
Jiang Chen's cultivation is profound, his ears are deaf and his eyes are clear, within ten zhang of his surroundings, no wind and grass can escape his ears, although the girl's voice is slight, Jiang Chen can hear it clearly.
The girl's voice was crisp and sweet, very clear, extremely pleasant, with a girlish coquettishness, which made Jiang Chen can't help but chuckle.
"What are you laughing at?" the girl asked, tilting her head and looking at Jiang Chen with a confused face.
Jiang Chen wasn't laughing. Jiang Chen shook his head and said.
"Hmph, no wonder the clansmen often say that you Central Plains people are treacherous and disingenuous, hypocritical and insincere, just now Ling'er clearly saw you laughing, you are still quibbling, big liar!" the girl wrinkled her nose and said coquettishly.
"Huh. ”
"Hehe, you big-headed ghost. ”
Jiang Chen's face was full of black lines, and he didn't want to entangle with her, so he immediately asked, "The girl came to Jiang Chen early in the morning, could it be that there is something wrong?"
"Ah!" The girl slapped her head and exclaimed: "The patriarch wants to see you, blame you, big liar, leading Ling'er to speak, almost forgot about this matter, what to see, hurry up and follow me." ”
Jiang Chen smiled bitterly on his face, followed behind the girl, and walked out of the bamboo building, the girl was in a hurry, and the silver jewelry jingled and spread far away in the Blue Spirit Mountain, adding a lively atmosphere to the quiet morning, and a trace of cheerfulness suddenly appeared between heaven and earth.
"Ling'er went out so early?"
"Third aunt, the patriarch wants to see this person, and Ling'er is here to find him. ”
"Ling'er ......"
Not far from the bamboo building, I met many Changli people wearing southern Xinjiang costumes, and when these people saw the girl, they all smiled on their faces, and with care and love in their eyes, they all opened their mouths to laugh.
What makes Jiang Chen feel most interesting is that at such a young age, this girl actually pretended to be an adult, with a tense little face, and responded solemnly one by one, and Jiang Chen laughed when she saw it.
"What a laugh, what's funny. The girl rolled her eyes, and she didn't have a good breath.
Jiang Chen shook his head slightly, and suddenly felt a black shadow flying towards him, without any hesitation, he raised his hand and a sword qi shot out, only to hear a bang, the black shadow exploded, and the debris flew sideways, it turned out to be just a stone.
"What does that mean?"
Jiang Chen's eyes were sharp, looking at a Changli tribesman, this person's face was full of oil paint, flowers and green, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, but in his eyes, there was a strong hatred.
"The people of the Central Plains deserve to die!"
Listening to the voice, this Changli tribesman is not very old, and there is still a young man's immaturity in his tone, but his eyes are hostile, and his body is full of dead silence, but it is definitely not owned by a young man.
"Don't blame Xiao Wu, he is only thirteen years old, and his parents died at the hands ......of the Nine Spirits Sect monks, so he hates the Han people of the Central Plains very much, and when he saw you just now, he couldn't hold back for a while," the girl Youyou said.
"Nine Spirit Sect?" Jiang Chen paused slightly, and then asked: "The Nine Spirit Sect is one of the eight major sects of Shenzhou, suppressing the southwest pole of Shenzhou, and it is a famous and decent family, why did they kill his parents?"
"Famous?" the girl chuckled, and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen had the heart to ask about the secret, but seeing that the girl was depressed and silent, he could only suppress this curiosity in his heart and followed the girl to the residence of the patriarch of Changli.
The residence of the patriarch of the Changli tribe is also a two-story bamboo building, but unlike the bamboo building of ordinary clansmen, the first floor of the patriarch's bamboo building is not used to domesticate domestic animals, but is filled with countless poisonous snakes, ants and scorpions, hissing, making people shudder.
Jiang Chen, who had already seen the big scene, just glanced at it, but he didn't pay attention to it, and his face was indifferent, which made the girls around him slightly surprised.
"Uncle, he's coming......"
Following the girl to the bamboo building and into the patriarch's house, Jiang Chen raised his eyes and swept away, only to see three people sitting around in the room, two middle-aged men and a ********, all wearing navy blue short coats, and the edges of the clothes were rolled with colorful patterns.
However, the men's and women's clothing is slightly different, the two middle-aged men wear wide shorts on the bottom, and the beautiful woman wears a short skirt, revealing a small section of white calf, smooth and visible.
"White Emperor City disciple Jiang Chen, I have seen three seniors!" Jiang Chen bowed and saluted.
"Little brother Jiang Chen, don't be polite, we are hundreds of tribes in southern Xinjiang, and there is not so much red tape, please sit down." Changli patriarch Chang Yuanshou bowed slightly, and said to the girl: "Ling'er, you go down first." ”
"Uncle, is it okay for Ling'er to stay here?" the girl said with anticipation on her face.
Chang Yuanshou frowned slightly, and shouted: "There are guests here, don't mess around......"
"Okay, big brother, just let Ling'er stay, it's not an important matter. ******** spoke, and then, smiling, and with a look of love on his face, he pulled the girl to sit down beside him.
Chang Yuanshou shook his head and smiled bitterly, then looked at Jiang Chen and said: "I have found out everything about yesterday, but it was the clansmen who were rude and offended Jiang Chen's little brother, and I apologize to you here......"
Jiang Chen waved his hand again and again, and said, "Don't use it like this, seniors, Jiang Chen is not a person who cares." ”
"Having said that, but the little brother is a guest from afar, the etiquette is thorough, the clansmen have provoked and offended many times, and it should not be, plus Chang Chu acted recklessly, and carried out a sneak attack, resulting in the injury of the little brother, I Changli feel deeply guilty, in order to make up for the mistakes, if the little brother has any requirements, as long as I can do it, I should do my best. ”
Jiang Chen groaned slightly, and said: "Don't hide it from your predecessors, Jiang Chen set foot in southern Xinjiang this time, and he just wants to go to the Yufu Lingjian ......."
"The little brother said this yesterday. Chang Yuanshou's face did not change, it seemed that he had long known that Jiang Chen would bring up the old matter, and then said: "Yufu Lingjian is the holy land of my hundred clans, and outsiders are not allowed to set foot in it, this matter is really difficult to do......
Chang Yuanshou groaned slightly, his expression was solemn, he looked at Jiang Chen and asked, "I take the liberty of asking, what is the intention of the little brother to go to the Yufu Lingjian?" After speaking, Chang Yuanshou and the other two were all staring at Jiang Chen, and even the girl showed a divine state.
Hearing the inquiry, Jiang Chen frowned slightly, but still decided to tell the truth: "Jiang Chen didn't dare to deceive the three seniors, Jiang Chen learned from the elders in the door that in the temple of the Earth Emperor, the holy land of the hundred ethnic groups in Southern Xinjiang, there is a god created by the Earth Emperor for nine days, and Jiang Chen urgently needs this thing to save people's lives, so he came from afar and begged sincerely. ”
Chang Yuanshou and the three of them glanced at each other, nodded lightly without a trace, and then, Chang Yuanshou took out a black horn from his arms, which was the '簡' given by Elder Bai Dan that day.
"Little brother Jiang Chen, there were a lot of people yesterday, and some things are inconvenient to talk about, now there are only a few of us, I hope you can tell us truthfully, where did you get this thing?"
When the girl saw the horns, her eyes were surprised, and she stretched out her white and tender little hand to take it, Chang Yuanshou glared at her fiercely, and the girl stuck out her tongue mischievously, quite disappointed.
"This is called" 簨", I heard the master say that this thing is a token of the hundred ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang, before leaving, entrusted to Jiang Chen's hand, Jiang Chen also did not know where it came from. Jiang Chen shook his head and said.
"I see. Chang Yuanshou groaned slightly, looked at the other two, his eyes showed an inquiring look, and after a while, Chang Yuanshou said: "This '簡' in the hands of the little brother is owned by an elder of the Holy Land, and the matter is very important, and the Changli clan has no right to deal with it, so they can only inform the elders of the Holy Land of this matter, wait for the elder's reply, and ask the little brother to stay in the Blue Spirit Valley for a while." ”
Jiang Chen thanked his seniors for their help. Jiang Chen got up and saluted, sincerely thanked, from Chang Yuanshou's words, Jiang Chen had heard that the Changli clan did have a secret road to the Yufu Lingjian, so that as long as the Changli clan was willing to help, there would be no more waves when it came to the Yufu Lingjian.
"In the past few days, the little brother has been temporarily living in the clan, remember not to go far, out of the Blue Spirit Valley is a million mountains, which are very dangerous. Chang Yuanshou admonished.
Subsequently, Jiang Chen and the girl said goodbye and left the patriarch Zhulou and returned to their residence.
"Big brother, do you really want to let Jiang Chen go to the Jade Fu Spirit Stream? My Changli clan has been sitting in the Blue Spirit Valley for generations, guarding the road to the Holy Land, if this person harbors evil intentions and allows him to enter the Holy Land, I'm afraid it will be ......."
"The third brother is too worried, just with a mere immortal monk, I can wipe it out when I make a move, not to mention stepping into the Holy Land alone, it is superfluous to worry, besides, Jiang Chen is carrying the token of the elder of the Holy Land, this elder has a special relationship with his father, and it is impossible for us to turn a blind eye!"
"Giggles, this time it's fun, if Dad sees this elder's token, I don't know what expression he will have. ******** Jiao said with a smile, looking gloating.
Chang Yuanshou and the two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, with the same expectation in their eyes.
