Chapter Twenty-Four: I Don't Want to Be White
When Ning Xiao finished washing, it was already dawn. The sound of birdsong in the woods, and the smoke curling from the cross slopes. Ning Xiao sniffed the aroma of vegetables in the air, quickened his pace, and soon returned to an inn.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Li Linxi sitting in the hall, quietly looking at the scroll in his hand. The sunlight penetrated the east window into the house, reflecting the girl brightly and making the boy's heart sway. The girl was admiring the picture scroll in her hand, and the young man was admiring the girl holding the picture scroll, and the scene was quiet for a while, so that Ning Xiao's restless heart that had just made a successful breakthrough gradually calmed down.
"The dish is coming~~ Three cages of human meat barbecued pork!" Kelly, the proprietress said loudly after entering the hall with food in her hand.
Li Linxi, who was interrupted by the proprietress to admire, was not angry, put away the scroll in his hand with a smile, picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched a bun, and did not dip it in vinegar, but just put it in his mouth and chewed it directly after blowing it cool. Well, the satisfied expression in the girl's eyes made Ning Xiao's heart warm, and she just felt that time stopped at this moment. In fact, Ning Xiao has experienced the mood at this moment many times, but every time it is the same reaction, I have to say that Ning Xiao is really a simple good boy.
Probably because Ning Xiao had been looking at him for a long time, Li Linxi felt a little in his heart, and turned his head to look at the door. I saw Ning Xiao standing at the door a little embarrassed, her hair was covered with liquid that I didn't know whether it was water or sweat, and it shone wonderfully in the morning light. I think it should be sweat and grease to have this color......
The girl's lips opened lightly, and she said happily: "Ning Xiao, come and try it!" The proprietress said that we came late yesterday, and many soup dumplings are hot after they are cold. Come and try these new ones this morning~ even better than last night!"
As soon as the words fell, he couldn't react with a smile, and a figure wearing a blue hooded silk robe suddenly appeared opposite Li Linxi, picking up the bun with chopsticks, and without waiting for the bun to get cold, he stuffed it directly into his mouth. This person who was burned to tears but was reluctant to spit it out, isn't it the fortune operator Lan Luocheng?
"Bu operator~~ Why didn't you count a hexagram before eating today?" Ning Xiao sat nearby with his back to the main entrance, and teased Lan Luocheng.
Li Linxi saw that Lan Luocheng stuffed the bun in his mouth and didn't spit it out, knowing that she couldn't speak for the time being, so he helped her explain: "Today is the beginning of the month, Xiao Lanlan is going to start painting new paintings, and she won't be able to tell hexagrams before that~"
Ning Xiao remembered the painting that Li Linxi had looked at before, and nodded, "The painting you looked at before was painted by Lan Luocheng last month, right?
Listening to Ning Xiao and saying that he was looking at the painting, Li Linxi's expression changed slightly, and before he could answer, Lan Luocheng on the other side finally swallowed the bun, only to hear her say proudly: "The painting I painted is only a little worse than my divination level!!"
Ning smiled and was about to argue with Lan Luocheng about the issue of "breaking through the sky", when he suddenly saw a touch of white in the corner of his eye. Looking down, Ning Xiao found a trace of gray hair in the hair on the side of Li Linxi's ear. The snow-white hair is dazzling in the girl's black hair. Ning Xiao's eyes widened, and she asked with concern, "Lin Xi, what's wrong with you?"
Li Linxi looked at Ning Xiao suspiciously, not knowing what he was talking about. Following Ning Xiao's nervous gaze, she grabbed the short hair around her ear, barely able to see the ends of the white hair. The girl smiled calmly and said to Ning Xiao, "It's nothing~It's just a white hair~"
Lan Luocheng interjected: "Ning Xiao, don't you know what Shao Baitou is?" With an expression of "You are so ignorant", Ning Xiao knew that the two girls had something to hide from themselves, but obviously they didn't want to let themselves know. So he cooperated very well and quarreled with Lan Luocheng again. Seeing that Ning Xiao didn't continue to ask, Li Linxi breathed a sigh of relief, and tightened his left hand on the picture scroll he was looking at just now, not knowing what he was thinking.
After the meal, the three of them discussed the next itinerary. Li Linxi still wanted to find the priest woman in his memory, and she had no goal, so she decided to follow Ning Xiao around. Ning Xiao was able to meet Ximen Xue Zhenren because he had taken the wrong path before, and slightly understood the martial arts concept of the Sword Palace, and he was ready to turn around the six major sects, well, the cross slope is relatively close to Shouyang Mountain, and the next station is Shouyang Mountain. As for Blue Los Angeles......
"What?" Ning Xiao and Li Linxi said in surprise.
"Well, that's it!" Lan Luocheng nodded insistently, "I don't have a fortune divination tool, I will never wander around at will!" Before drawing this month's new painting, I decided to stay on the cross slope until the new drawing is finished, and then divination the direction of travel!"
So the short-lived trio parted, and Lan Luocheng promised to draw the first thing he did was to find out the whereabouts of Ning Xiao and the others, and then go to them. It's a pity that the girl has not been inspired to draw new paintings so far......
Stepping on the road straight to Shouyang Mountain, Ning Xiao and Li Linxi walked together. It was getting late, Li Linxi had set up a tent, and Ning Xiao was baking their dinner. At this moment, Ning Xiao and Li Linxi suddenly heard the sound of someone walking, coming from the direction of the cross slope. Li Linxi and Ning Xiao glanced at each other, and when they heard the sound, they saw a short figure stumbling over.
Entering the range of the firelight, I can finally see who is coming. I saw that the person who came was dressed in purple, about 1.4 meters tall, with pale skin and dark circles under his eyes much lighter than when they first met. She saw Ning Xiao, and then smiled brightly, "I seem to be able to fall asleep next to you, so I'll come and try it!"
Ning Xiao held his forehead and sighed, "You came out like this, does your mother know? Otherwise, I'll send you back......
"If you dare to send me back, I'll tell my mother that you let me run out with you!" Feng unconsciously counterattacked.
The three of them had dinner and lay down by the fire to get ready for sleep. Feng Bujue suddenly said, "I can't sleep.................. Ning Xiao will tell me some stories!"
Ning Xiao suddenly came to his senses and said, "Hehe, I know a lot of stories from Bai Xiaosheng! What do you want to hear? Whether it's the Guan Yan Annihilation Sect tragedy, or the eight major tests before Wang Duantian became the gang leader, or Zhang Bu'er who has gone through twists and turns to inherit the Taoist lineage, I can tell you!"
"You forgot that Bai Xiaosheng is my mother's business partner! I don't know how many times I've heard his story......
Ning Xiao's face was bitter, and then he thought about it, "Then I'll tell you my story!"
Feng said disdainfully: "What story can you have......
Ning smiled proudly and said, "Hmph, I can tell you about the things I have seen along the way!" After that, he told Feng Bujue about the beautiful scenery in Zhige Town, the vast scenery on Xiaoshi Mountain, the jungle outside Qingping Town, and the prosperous business in Donglin Town.
"I heard Bai Xiaosheng say it in Zhige Town, and he also said that there are a group of little beggars in the town, who are naughty and mischievous, and they are kind and simple-minded, which can be cultivated. After Ning Xiao finished speaking, Feng Bujue commented one by one, "I heard you say that the small stone mountain is not very high, and when you go up to the Arctic iceberg and take a look, it will be called 'will be the top of the mountain, and the mountains will be small'; Finally, the Donglin Town you are talking about ......" Halfway through speaking, Feng Bujue groaned.
Ning Xiao was hit a lot by Feng Bujue, just when he was angry and wanted to tell Feng Bujue about the many adventures he had experienced, he saw Feng Bujue groaning so deeply, and suddenly felt inexplicable, and asked, "What's wrong with Donglin Town?"
"Donglin Town ruined ......"
ββββββββββββI am the dividing line of God's visionββββββββββββ
"Donglin Town is ruined...... Donglin Town is on fire, and the town is empty. As the flames soared, two people stood outside the town. The person who spoke, dressed in black, with a plump body, charming but not demonic, was none other than Wang Shaoguang, who appeared in Zhige Town a few months ago.
"Hire men to buy silk for five gold each, and after buying all the silk in several nearby towns, send merchants to sell it for an unlimited amount of three gold. After the townspeople borrowed money to buy several times as much silk, they found that no one was buying their silk anymore. Calculate carefully, you helped me save the world in this operation, and I earned thousands of taels of gold. The most important thing is that you ruined a town without bloodshed, and the residents of the town fled their debts and scattered, which is really remarkable......" Wang Shaoguang said to the respectful man behind him.
"How? This is the power of gold, more terrifying than knives and swords......" The fire in the town was flourishing, faintly illuminating the man's face, it was Ning Xiao's good brother who had not seen him for many days-Su Po.
"The president is very satisfied with your talents, in the future, you will be the hall master of the intelligence organization of Shouyang Mountain, give your hall a resounding name! Welcome to the Sage Society!" Wang Shaoguang and Su Po glanced at each other and laughed.
