Chapter 30: Disappearance
After the award was issued, Hudong County did not leave, and all the restaurants in the entire Qinghe Garden held a banquet, not only to celebrate the successful conclusion of the Lantern Festival, but also to celebrate the meaning of the friendship of the three counties.
Jing Fei and the three of them returned to the courtyard late at night, people were in good spirits on happy occasions, the streets were soft on the way back, the wind was comfortable, the trees were cheerful, and the moon was round......
In Guo'er's room, the three of them sat quietly around the table, and on the table was the reward of the leader, a bottle of third-order beast blood, and 20,000 gold and twenty kun jade, which was enough to push an ordinary first-order monk with a qualification to the second order.
In addition to the blood of the beast, a thick stack of golden tickets was quietly placed, which was an additional 360,000 golden tickets given by the county government of Chengping County, the Shenhu Mansion and the wealthy merchants in the city.
This seems to be the practice after the end of every Lantern Festival martial arts meeting, and those who can win the top three often have a bright future, and giving financial support inevitably has the meaning of friendship.
This year, Guo'er was born, judging from the performance of the competition and the qualification of refining the body, the future is limitless, and there is also a third-order cultivation grandfather, so this year is given a lot more, far more than in the past.
Looking at Guo'er looking back and forth between the two things as if he was fascinated by small wealth, Jing Fei laughed and said:
"Now that you are also a little rich man, when will you invite me to eat at the Drunken Immortal Building. ”
Guo'er glared at Jing Fei and said in a weird way:
"Speaking of the rich man, you can't compare with the poetry of the daughter, you think I don't know that you secretly gamble money, and at night I asked Jun Ge that a little guy found you and stuffed you with a box, the golden ticket in the box is thicker than mine, and I honestly explain how much I won. ”
Zhang Jingchang was surprised when he heard it, he didn't know that there was such a play, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, his brain is really a good thing, but unfortunately not everyone has it.
"You girl has chicken thieves in her eyes. ”
After that, Jing Fei shut up and became a stuffy gourd.
After the Spring Festival, everything returned to normal, but the poisonous snake hidden in the dark seemed to be snooping at any time, which made Jing Fei's tense nerves not relax at all.
Before dawn in the morning, the two went to the spiritual monastery to practice together, and in the evening, the bright moon hung on the treetops and then returned to the small courtyard with the starlight.
Drawing talismans, practicing boxing, bubble medicinal baths, the three of them entered Jing Fei's dream realm to practice, and the days passed day by day.
In the blink of an eye, half a year later, one day in early July, the spiritual monastery gave the children a holiday, nine children and one Jing Fei rushed to the Zuixian Building in groups, and the two children who walked at the back were the spiritual monastery that they only entered in May, born in an ordinary family, and acted with caution and cowardice everywhere.
In the wing room on the third floor of the Zuixian Building, a whole table of delicacies quickly bottomed out, followed by the second table, and the little ones did not put down their chopsticks until the third table was swept away.
Drinking monkey wine, Guo Guo picked up chopsticks and knocked on the wine glass, and a group of children knew that the most exciting show was coming, and they quieted down one after another.
Jing Fei picked up his wine glass, took a sip, moistened his throat, and asked:
"What story do you want to hear this time? ”
Geng Le, who has always rarely spoken, said:
"Last time, I talked about Nanluo's sword turning into Tianhe, and I heard that there is Chen Jinghua Butterfly Breaking Daqian behind, so you can tell the story of the river god. ”
Guo'er seemed to be very dissatisfied with Geng Le's snatching of his right to speak, and said to Geng Le with his arms crossed:
"If you want to hear a story, then tell me your story first, and tell the big guy why you always have a stinky face. ”
Geng Le snorted coldly and said:
"There is a locksmith on Huashi Street, a key costs two dollars of silver, and three keys only cost five dollars of silver, may I ask, are you worthy?"
Guo'er frowned, thought for a while before understanding the meaning of Geng Le's words, slapped the table and glared at him and said:
"Do you miss Aunt Ben's fist? ”
Jing Fei coughed and said:
"If you want to hear a story, sit quietly. ”
Guo'er glanced at Geng Le fiercely and sat down reluctantly.
The story is long and exciting, and a group of children listen to it and ask questions frequently.
Soon it was getting dark, and it was time for dinner, and the story of the river god was only halfway told, and it didn't take physical effort to listen to the story, so I only ate one table of wine for dinner.
Jing Fei and a group of children are frequent visitors to the Drunken Immortal Building, and the shopkeeper personally carried a food box upstairs and handed it to Jing Fei, which was prepared for Zhang Jingchang.
Since the end of the Lantern Festival martial arts meeting, Zhang Jingchang's third-order strength was announced, Zhang Jingchang, who was originally well-known in Chengping County, is now a household name, and there is an endless stream of people who have made good friends.
Smart people do smart things, they will not find a home to give gifts and say compliments, they will only borrow the east wind under various coincidences, such as the shopkeeper of the drunken fairy building, Zhang Jingchang will prepare a pot of hundred-year-old pine every time he comes here, and the excuse is that Zhang Jingchang comes to the drunken fairy building to eat is the best publicity, the words are not humble or arrogant, and the drinker will appreciate it after all.
For example, every time Jing Fei and a group of children come here to eat, the monkey wine will buy one and get one free, and a food box will be sent at the end of the banquet, saying that there are fewer people eating recently, and I hope that Zhang Jingchang will be active and popular, and the next batch of century-old pines in the wine cellar has been brewed, and the taste is more mellow and fragrant.
Jing Fei will bring the words every time, and as for whether Zhang Jingchang goes or not, it is not his own concern.
After the dinner, in the midst of the children's entanglement and complaints, Jing Fei carried a food box and walked to the courtyard with Guo'er, and Shi Minrou and the two stopped by and held hands with Guo'er.
When he arrived at the Chongyue Martial Arts Pavilion, Guo'er said that he wanted to test the results of his cultivation for a few months, Jing Fei nodded, he also wanted to know his current strength.
Shi Jinpeng and Min Qingying were very happy to see their daughter come back, usually Shi Minrou lives in a spiritual monastery with other children, and it is rare to go home.
I heard that Jing Fei Drunken Immortal Building had a treat today, and Shi Jinpeng and his wife thanked them again.
Jing Fei clearly remembered that when he accompanied Guo'er to the Chongyue Martial Arts Hall in March, Shi Jinpeng and his wife looked at him with deep meaning, which made Jing Fei very embarrassed, of course he knew the reason.
The Lantern Festival Wuhui Shi Jinpeng and his wife and Li Lan had negotiated in private, and several people scraped together 600,000 taels of gold to suppress Shi Jinpengsheng.
It's hard to talk about this, people are betting and winning money based on their ability, and who is to blame.
With the deepening of their understanding of Jing Fei, the three of them discovered that Jing Fei, who practiced with Shi Minrou, was a rare talent, and for this kind of capable person, as long as his brain was not sick, he would only make friends, which was also the reason why he was very polite when he saw Jing Fei now.
After some greetings, everyone came to the three giant bells, and it was still Guo'er who tested first.
The bell rang, and the second giant bell struck two feet, and the other three people were stunned except for Jing Fei.
Guo'er is only ten years old this year and has already entered the second order, which is rare in Chengping County.
Then Shi Jinpeng found out that something was wrong, the sign of a second-order body refiner was that a breath of essence qi was raised in the dantian, and this essence qi improved the body from the inside out, so the second-order monks had a special charm in their gestures, and their eyes were even more revealing a faint essence, and only when they reached the third order could they condense the dantian qi into a gang qi to be able to release it freely, and Shi Jinpeng did not see this change in Guo'er.
When they heard Guo'er say that they had not yet entered the second order, the expressions of Shi Jinpeng and his wife became amused.
Then there was Jing Fei's test, the first giant bell struck seven feet, Shi Jinpeng and his wife were surprised again, remembering that Jing Fei had such strength in less than a year after stepping into cultivation, if he took the path of refining his body, he would be able to enter the second order in another half a year, and this cultivation speed made the two of them really embarrassed.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the martial arts hall was awkward and dull, Jing Fei took Guo'er and left.
In the next few days, Jing Fei's whereabouts were erratic, Fenglin Pavilion, the County Ya, the Shenhu Mansion, Qingheyuan, and Ge Mansion all ran all over one by one, and Guo'er kept silent every time he asked about Jing Fei.
One night in mid-July, the full moon, which was supposed to be blooming with silver light, was blocked by dark clouds, and the streets were pitch black, and even the summer cicadas, which were usually singing happily, fell silent, and only the lonely sound of the patrol was heard.
A silver-winged eagle rose into the air in Jing Fei's courtyard, and the plum trees in the courtyard were bent over by this strong air current.
Zhang Jingchang and Jing Fei stood on the back of the silver-winged eagle, Jing Fei hid in a black cloak and blended with the night, leaving only the cloak to hunt in the face of strong winds.
The silver-winged eagle went straight out of the east gate, which was the direction of Wu Weiwei in Guangyuan County.
Jing Fei disappeared, and when Cui Yi and the other children of the spiritual institute asked, Guo'er just frowned and said that she didn't know, in fact, she really didn't know, and asked her grandfather, who said that the family now has money, and she is expected to go to the future.
She stared into her grandfather's eyes for a while, trying to determine if he was lying, and the grandfather and grandson stared at each other with wide eyes.
"You must have hidden him. ”
Guo'er said affirmatively.
Zhang Jingchang just smashed the dry smoke and smiled and didn't speak, Guo'er was annoyed, snorted and went out of the courtyard to find Shi Minrou to play.
At the end of each month, the Shenhu Mansion will go to the mountains and forests and various towns to inspect, and on the morning of July 30, the sky is slightly bright, and the Dharma Boat in the Shenhu Mansion leaves the county seat through the morning light.
Behind the city gate, Chihiro raised her head and glanced at the distant boat, which was going in the direction of Fushou Mountain, and there were few people entering and leaving the city at this point, so Chihiro lay down and continued to sleep.
In the dream, Chihiro and Wanli ran side by side on the city wall, and the majestic Sheshen cannon at the gate of the city was left far behind.
Chihiro likes Wanli, Wanli also likes Chihiro, Wanli will come to Chihiro every three months, and now three months have long passed but I haven't seen Wanli's figure.
"That fool won't be seduced by the fox in Takixian. ”
Chihiro thought to herself.
