Under the starry sky, on the official road to Jinhua, an inferior yellow horse walked unhurriedly. Immediately sat a white-shirted scholar, carrying a canvas bookcase, and on his right shoulder sat a palm-sized pocket beauty, whispering in his ear from time to time.

"Xiaoqian, let me ask you a question. ”

"Well, what?"

"You need to take refuge in the jade pendant during the day, so can you see anything outside in the jade pendant?"

Xiao Qian yawned, and leaned her little head on his neck with sleepy eyes: "My cultivation has reached the innate level, and I have practiced a trace of divine thought." During the day, I hide in the jade, and I can release my thoughts to sense the outside world, far more clearly than the eyes need to see. ”

"Brother Yan said that the Divine Mind can be used to make flying swords and flying needles, and the attack power is ten times stronger than that of a first-class master. Why have you never seen Xiao Qian, your flying sword or flying needle?" Ning Caichen asked curiously.

"It's very simple, because I'm poor!" Xiao Qian's voice was crisp, like a jade bead falling on a silver plate: "Of the four basic conditions for cultivation, wealth ranks first." Whether it is the elixir cheats, or the refining materials, or the magic weapon of the flying sword, they all need to be bought with silver. Even if he is a refiner, in addition to the existence of a rich country, he must be worshiped by someone to refine the flying needle and flying sword. ”

"In this way, the cultivation world is the same as the secular world, and it is difficult to move an inch without money. Ning Caichen sighed.

"It's the same, but the relationship between the two is like a whole person and a hair on a person, and the quality is not the same. Xiao Qian swayed her legs back and forth and said with a smile.

Ning Caichen remembered the gold and silver in his bookcase: "How about the 1,000 taels of silver?

"It's only a thousand taels, it's very ordinary in the secular world, and it's undoubtedly wishful thinking to buy something from the cultivation world. Xiao Qian said with a wink.

"Why do you look sleepy?" At this time, Ning Caichen finally noticed that she was wrong, and asked suspiciously.

"I usually sleep during the day and go out at night, and the past two days have been neither black nor white, so as soon as I relax, I feel a little sleepy. ”

Ning Caichen picked up the jade pendant tied around his waist: "It's still an hour before dawn, why don't you go to sleep first." ”

"It's fine. But when you arrive in Jinhua, you must call me, I haven't been to a big human city for a long time, and I want to feel the lively atmosphere. Xiao Qian turned into a white light and drilled into the jade pendant, and her voice gradually became inaudible.

From Lanruo Temple to Jinhua City, it is only more than two hours away, when the sun is rising, Ning Caichen has already come to the city gate with a royal horse.

did not experience the legendary payment of the entrance fee, the two rows of guards in front of the city gate turned a blind eye to Ning Caichen, or rather a group of people who were preparing to enter the city, and stood in place expressionlessly.

Leading the horse through the dark city gate hole, he didn't take a few steps, Ning Caichen's eyes were bright, the chariots and horses were Xiaoxiao, and the pedestrians on the street were close to their waists. People come and go, and the vendors are busy, shouting loudly to sell higher than the pitch.

Just in the early morning, the liveliness of Jinhua Mansion is even more powerful than that of ordinary towns for the New Year, which shows the difference between big cities and small towns. However, this also reflects from the side that Jinhua has come out of the war and regained its previous vigor and vitality.

"Xiao Qian, Xiao Qian, can you hear me?" leading the horse, Ning Caichen patted the white jade on his waist.

"I heard it, I heard it, I haven't seen such a lively scene for many years, and it's good to be able to see it again. Xiao Qian's joyful voice came out of the jade pendant, excited like a child who had got sugar.

The corners of Ning Caichen's mouth curled slightly: "You take a serious look and see if there is anything you want, I'll buy it for you." ”

"Really?" Xiao Qian's voice suddenly raised an octave, full of surprise and joy.

"Of course it's true, have you ever seen a time when my words don't count?" Ning Caichen smiled gently.

"Hmm, I want sugar gourds, fried rice cakes, sugar people, maltose ......," Xiaoqian exclaimed excitedly.

Ning Caichen joked while purchasing according to her request: "I always thought that you were the kind of gentle and virtuous, down-to-earth and generous girl, but I didn't expect that when I entered the city, I lost a female character and became a child." ”

Xiao Qianwan smiled: "I was just a child, and I was not yet eighteen years old when I died. What's more, in a place like the Netherworld Palace, it is impossible to show such a side. ”

Ning Caichen was stunned for a moment, and thought deeply: "The impact of the environment on people's personalities is indeed quite large. But seriously, I still like you now. Because happiness is contagious, your happiness can be passed on to me anytime, anywhere. ”

Xiaoqian chuckled: "Although the environment has a great impact on personality, it is impossible for personality to change much, for example, introverts will not become extroverted overnight, what changes are only the emotions at that time."

And although I am just a ghost, I am like all the girls in the world, and I will show different emotions in different situations. Scholar, since you like me to be cheerful, you must first make me feel happy and happy!"

Ning Caichen put all the things he bought in the bookcase and said softly: "I will try my best to make you happy, and one day in the near future, let you walk side by side with me on this bustling street under the scorching sun." ”

"Hehe, scholar, is this your promise?" Xiao Qian said with a grin.

"Yes, that's my promise. Ning Caichen's face was resolute and serious, and he said softly word by word.

In the small space of the jade pendant, Xiao Qian slowly restrained the smile on her face, bit her lip, and looked at his white cheeks attentively.

"What's wrong?" After not waiting for a reply for a long time, Ning Caichen asked suspiciously.

Xiao Qian took a breath and said with a smile: "It's nothing...... Scholar, scholar, I want that mask. ”

"Which one?" Ning Caichen looked around blankly.

"It's the green-faced fangs. Xiao Qian looked at his face seriously, casually glanced at the mask stall, and then turned her gaze back again.

Ning Caichen paid the money and took the ghost mask with blue fangs in his hand: "Xiao Qian, I suddenly doubt your aesthetics and fun, what do you want such an ugly ghost mask for?"

Xiao Qian's eyes turned, and she said with a smile: "You see that I look so beautiful, it's okay if I don't come out, but if I come out, won't it cause trouble for you?" If I have this mask, after wearing it, others can't see my face, and I won't cause trouble for you." ”

Ning Caichen wanted to say that she was narcissistic, but in fact, he knew very well in his heart that what Xiaoqian said was not unreasonable.

He came from later generations and was used to seeing all kinds of real and fake beauties, but he had never seen a beautiful girl as fresh and refined as Xiao Qian, who did not eat fireworks in the world.

He didn't know what the fairies in this world looked like, but he felt that even if they were extremely beautiful fairies, they could only have one-tenth of Xiaoqian's beauty. Perhaps only the fairy Chang'e in the Moon Palace can compete with the most gorgeous female ghost in history.

is so beautiful, no matter what status or status a man is, he will definitely covet her after seeing her. And once this happens, it means that Ning Caichen's trouble is coming.

In even more ancient history, there have been countless turmoil/turmoil because of beautiful women. The emperors of the two empires, King Shang and King Zhou You, died because of women, and Han Xin, the god of war, and Lu Bu, the god of war, also rushed to the crown more than once and became angry.

"Thank you for thinking so much about me. Thinking of the bloody storm in history because of beautiful women, Ning Caichen sighed and said.

Xiao Qian's expression froze slightly, and after a while, he roughly guessed his current thoughts. The corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, revealing a smile like a summer flower, she didn't explain, but said softly: "Scholar, you have to remember my kindness to you." Because I've only been so good to you so far, and I won't be good to anyone else but you in the future. ”

Obviously, this is not simple enough, and it can even be said to be cumbersome. But for a girl who has never experienced feelings, being able to say such a simple and straightforward thing is no less than a shy girl confessing in later generations.

"Xiaoqian, do you like me?" Ning Caichen was silent for a moment and suddenly asked.

"Ahh......h

Ning Caichen came to an inn, handed over the inferior horse to the shopkeeper who greeted him, and said to Yu Pei Chuanyin: "I'm here, waiting for your answer." ”

Xiao Qian grabbed her plain white dress tightly with both hands, pursed her lips and said, "Scholar, I don't know." ”

"I don't know?" Ning Caichen came to the inner hall of the inn, ordered some wine and food at random, and asked suspiciously.

"Yes, I don't know my own heart. Saying this, Xiao Qian seemed to let go of the big stone in her heart, and her whole body was much more relaxed: "Scholar, I like to stay with you, and I also agree with the relationship between the two of us." But I really can't tell how I feel about you, because I can't tell the difference between liking and liking it right now. ”

Ning Caichen smiled: "Love at first sight is mostly about seeing love, understanding each other, and being heart-to-heart, which is the most beautiful love." You can't tell whether you like it or like it now, and I just like your beauty now, so no one owes anyone anything. What kind of results will be in the future depends on future contacts. ”

"The relationship between the three worlds ......," Xiao Qian said subconsciously.

Ning Caichen hesitated for a moment and said softly, "In my personal understanding. God has written the script, but the sentient beings may not follow the script. All the twists of fate are often in a single thought. For example, if you have a thought in your heart now, you don't want to have any contact with me anymore, and you have been away since then, then we may really not have a chance to see each other again in the future.

For another example, God has given a person a disability, and if this person is depressed because of this, his fate can only go to misery. If this person is still self-improving, maybe there will be a different ending.

Therefore, no matter how powerful the cause of heaven is, it can't withstand the change of people's hearts, don't let this ethereal statement become your own shackles. ”
