Chapter Forty-Eight: Family Affection Is Hard to Reward

She looked up, and there was already a person under the windowsill in front of her, dressed in a dark golden robe, and her hair tied with a black silk scarf. The eyebrows are delicate, and the whole person looks a little thin, as if floating outside the world. However, what attracted Hyacinth the most were the eyes, which were not large, but narrow. For some reason, Hyacinth felt that his eyes had a sense of rejection, just like the voice of his words, clean and not touching the world.

"You are the Ancestor of Huiyan?"

Hyacinth only reacted at once, stood up with joy and asked.

"No, I'm his junior brother, Ruxuan. The voice was still quiet, just like this night, black and pure.

Jin Xiangdi said that the Taoist name of the Lingtai Sect is obscure, and these two names both carry the different intentions of the two teachers.

Hyacinth looked at Jin Xiangdi's young appearance, and the surprise in her heart quickly cooled down, slightly disappointed, in her heart, she already felt that Jin Xiangdi was no match for the Wood Spirit National Master. Even the people who have been practicing for decades by the Zhengyuan National Master have been used by the Wood Spirit National Master to control the Heavenly Gate, seal the Heavenly Gate, and hang the mana at the city gate.

Jin Xiangdi looked at Hyacinth's slightly dimmed eyes and said, "Sometimes, the level of mana is not based on age, not to mention, my age is much older than you think. ”

Hyacinth didn't expect that what she was thinking was seen through, and she immediately became a little overwhelmed. Jin Xiangdi just stood there and looked at her, and the first impression of Hyacinth in front of him was very good and quiet.

"Aren't you going to let me in?" said the Golden Elephant.

"Ahh Hyacinth woke up and hurriedly opened the door.

She was able to speak softly to the sword guards, and express her thoughts through some flowers and plants, but she was a little unsettled in the face of the eyes of the golden elephant that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. A large part of this is due to the identity of the Golden Elephant.

She hurriedly went to open the door, but when she opened the door, she was thinking in her heart: "He is the junior brother of the national teacher, then he is the uncle of the national teacher." ”

The door opened, and what she saw at a glance was not the golden elephant in a dark gold robe standing in front of her window, but an old man with a burden. The old man's hair was a little gray, very tall, and in addition to the burden, there was a big knife on her back, and her eyes slid over the black hilt, and the first feeling in her heart was that the knife must be very heavy. His eyes fell on a scar on his face, the scar was like a centipede crawling on his face, hideous and terrifying, and he was a little scared in his heart, but he had already met the old man's eyes, and with only one touch, she quickly looked away, not daring to look again.

The golden elephant stood beside him with his hands in his hands, looking out of the courtyard, and Feng Hyacinth also looked out of the courtyard, where there were several guards guarding the door.

It had been a long time between Hyacinth and Jin Xiangdi from talking to opening the door, and they didn't seem to notice it at all. Even if I occasionally glanced this way, it was as if I didn't see anything.

"They can't see us and they can't hear us. The golden elephant was already walking towards the door when he finished speaking. As soon as I entered the house, I saw the wooden sticks left over from the three-pillar incense burnt still in the corner of the house.

Although the golden elephant said that they could not see or hear, Hyacinth still closed the door quickly after they entered the house.

"Tell me what you know. Jin Xiangdi said. He didn't say anything he wanted Hyacinth to say, but Hyacinth couldn't be clearer, and immediately said: "One night seven days ago, after the national teacher observed the celestial phenomena, he suddenly said that there was a demonic aura in the sky above the Tianyuan Kingdom, and there must be a monster appearing. Later, the national teacher left the Xuanji Temple to look for the monster, but he came back only two days later, and his face was very bad. On the second day, the king suddenly summoned the national teacher into the palace, and the national teacher saw that the demonic energy was entrenched in the sky above the palace, so he gave me three pillars of incense, and said that if he could not come back, he would light the three pillars of incense. ”

"He should have seen the monster that appeared in the palace before, obviously it's not an opponent, why didn't he run away?" asked Jin Xiangdi, who himself was a monster in the eyes of humans, and a snake demon that everyone feared.

Hyacinth didn't know that the one standing in front of him was actually a monster, but Xiao Jiu knew that there were not a few monsters he had seen, and there were many in the Lingtai Sect, and he had killed a lot of little demons.

As far as he knew, there were many youkai who were disgusted to hear the word "youkai". He couldn't feel the disgust from the tone and complexion of the Golden Horn, or he couldn't see it at all.

Hyacinth replied: "I remember that the national teacher seems to have said that the king saved the national teacher when he was young, so the national teacher came to Tianyuan Kingdom to be the national teacher." ”

Jin Xiangdi nodded, and said: "The current national teacher should also accept you as a Taoist child, right?" He looked at the fourteen or fifteen-year-old hyacinth in front of him, and suddenly remembered the little girl named Zhou Yaoming he met on the way to find the Lingtai Sect, and he didn't know how she was doing now, whether she had already returned to the country, and if she returned to the country, did she still remember that she had made a snake demon a national teacher.

These thoughts flashed in his heart, and he suddenly remembered that little girl, it was not that he had identified with human beings, if it weren't for Senior Brother Huiyan, he might not have been able to return to this human kingdom at all.

However, that Zhengyuan is not bad, and it is not in vain to take a trip by himself. Jin Xiangdi thought to himself.

Hyacinth replied, "The national teacher said before leaving that if something happened to him, the monster would definitely take me as a boy." The national teacher told me not to agree, but if it didn't work, I found an excuse to escape, and gave me three talismans. ”

Jin Xiangdi didn't ask why, he had already seen at first glance that the physique of the girl in front of him was quite peculiar, and the pure yin qi in her body was very pure, and the monster must not have a good heart to accept her as a child. If she cultivates on her own, she should be able to get twice the result with half the effort if she has a suitable exercise.

"Why don't you run away. Jin Xiangdi asked.

"I was born in the General's Mansion, and if I leave, there will be a catastrophe in the General's Mansion. Hyacinth said.

Who in the General's Mansion knows that if Hyacinth wants to leave, he can leave at any time, even if he sends more people to guard there, it is useless.

There is a main hall in the General's Mansion, called Zhongyi Hall, and the people in it are all sitting there waiting, all with anxious looks on their faces. At this time, a servant came into the house and reported that it was past the time of the child.

The old lady raised her eyelids and glanced at it, then waved him back and asked, "How is Xin'er?" ”

"Still sitting on the windowsill and copying "Morality". Someone immediately replied.

Immediately, a woman sneered and said: "She also knows morality, trapping her biological father between life and death, trapping the entire family in the moment of extinction, she also deserves to copy "Morality". ”

Some agreed, but others remained silent.

The old lady's eyes were still closed, and no one could see what she meant.

After some time, someone came in and reported that it was ugly.

The old lady closed her eyes and asked, "What is Xin'er doing?"

"Miss Xin'er is still copying "Morality". ”

Among these people, only the old lady knew that if Hyacinth went to become a new national teacher, the boy would also be a sheep. She instinctively believed what Hyacinth said, and after more than 80 years of tempering, her naked eyes could not see clearly, but her heart and eyes were brighter.

"Go make a bowl of lotus seed black chicken soup for Xin'er, that's her favorite food. The old lady said with her eyes closed, her voice revealing an unquestionable flavor.

The wives and concubines of the generals, large and small, looked at each other. The housekeeper who had been standing at the door immediately responded, and was about to retreat to arrange for someone to do it, but the old lady spoke again: "Huizhen, you go and pick the best black chicken to kill." ”

One of the middle-aged women, who was dressed in extremely gorgeous clothes, was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said: "Mom, I can't see blood, I faint when I see blood, I ......"

"Qingqing, you go and light the fire. The old lady didn't pay attention to the Huizhen who wanted to argue at all. This Qingqing is a younger woman, as her name suggests, she looks clear and delicate, she just looked at the old lady, and then said yes.

The old lady didn't open her eyes, and continued: "Hongyu, you go and fetch water. ”

"Yuting, you go get the lotus seeds. ”

"Xiuci, you come to stew the soup and watch the fire. ”

The people ordered by the old lady are all the masters of the general's mansion, they are all the general's wives and concubines, and they also order the general's sons to pluck chicken feathers, or do some small things, no one is idle, the only idle is the old lady and the people in the general's mansion.

Everyone was stunned for a while, not knowing what the old lady meant.

"Go, go, you have to do your best to make this bowl of soup. Speaking of the back, her voice had already dropped, and the series of commands and commands had exhausted her strength.

The hall of loyalty was empty all at once, except for a few subordinates guarding the door, and the old lady sat alone on the upper seat of the hall with a dove cane in hand. No one knew what kind of turbulence lay beneath her seemingly calm exterior.

When the time came, the soup was ready and served to the old lady. Everyone was silent, they all looked at the old lady, although there were doubts in their eyes, but they were all pressed by the old lady's solemn expression and did not dare to speak, and some people faintly guessed some.

The old lady put down her crutches, stood up, picked up the soup and walked outside. Everyone followed, some people wanted to help the old lady, but she refused, and some people wanted to support her, afraid that she would fall, but she also refused.

The crowd had to light a few more lanterns to illuminate the road. The lanterns in front are the grandchildren of the old lady, the half-siblings of Hyacinth. A quarter of an hour later, the old lady came to the remote courtyard where Hyacinth was.

Go up the stairs and knock on the door.

The door opened, and Hyacinth exclaimed, "Grandma......"

Hurriedly let the old lady into the house, and the old lady said, "Here is a bowl of your favorite lotus seed black chicken soup." Hyacinth hurriedly took the soup from the old lady's hand and put it on the table. Looking back at the old lady, the old lady said, "Eat it, eat it while it's hot." ”

Hyacinth's eyes were a little red, and she already knew what the old lady meant.

The old lady said, "This is made by your aunts. ”

He also said who killed chickens, who plucked feathers, who burned fires, who cut chickens, who cut materials, and who picked lotus seeds.

"Grandma'......"

"Eat, eat, this is also a little bit of their heart, I hope you will not hold a grudge against them in the future. The old lady said softly in a low voice.

"Grandma, I won't. Hyacinth's tears poured down her face.

The old lady lifted the lid of the soup bowl, and a burst of fragrance gushed out, filling the room.

Hyacinth suddenly looked up and said, "Grandma, can you feed me?"

"Good, good. The old lady said kindly.

After that, he sat down next to him, picked up a spoonful of soup, and gently blew it on the side of his mouth before reaching out to Hyacinth's mouth. Hyacinth drank it in one gulp, her face flushed, but her eyes kept flowing tears, slid down her cheeks and fell into the soup, and she ate it back again.

Under the lonely lamp, this scene has a strange warmth. However, the people who stood motionless in the darkness outside did not know that this was life and death.
