Chen Pingan looked at this skinny child with cold eyes. Even though she was only a child and far from Zhu Lu's age, Chen Pingan still felt sincere disgust in his heart.
Chen Pingan stopped looking at her and turned to look at the back door of the mansion. The old butler, who seemed kind and frail, happened to hold the young master's hand and crossed the threshold. He turned to look at Chen Pingan. Their eyes met.
Chen Pingan nodded gently in greeting. The man hesitated for a moment and nodded in return.
it is more than words.
If Chen Pingan had not shown up today, this skinny child would have died quietly long ago.
Moreover, this old man was obviously willing to take the initiative to show kindness to a fellow-minded person who could not see the depth of the situation. He chose not to punish the ungrateful poor little bastard and let Chen Pingan handle it.
Chen Pingan looked back and said to the child: "Don't come here again, or you will die."
The little girl grinned and said nothing.
Chen Pingan turned and left.
The skinny girl spat hard in the direction where Chen Ping'an disappeared, not forgetting to spit at the high wall gate as well.
But after doing these two little actions full of resentment, she was already hungry and even more hungry. She was a little dizzy. She returned along the original path and tried to walk along the wall as much as possible. Let alone the middle of the road, she wouldn't even let her go.
Carriages and pedestrians on the road will really die if they look at you more than once and annoy them.
As for the man in the snow-white robe, she was not afraid.
She has had a keen intuition about malice since she was young. She weighs very clearly who can and cannot be provoked.
In fact, Chen Ping'an didn't go far, but silently observed the little girl covered in thorns in secret.
She walked and rested, walking feebly. After looking carefully along the way, she waited for a moment, then climbed over the wall skillfully, stole a family's pickles, wolfed them down, and ran out of the alley quickly. Then she felt thirsty and went back to the alley.
She climbed into the wall, tiptoed, scooped water from the water tank, and before closing the lid again, she quickly grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, sprinkled it into the water tank, and then left quietly.
Chen Pingan could tell that the skinny little girl's legs were a bit lame and she often reached out to rub her ribs. It was probably because she had suffered from doing such bad things in the past.
Just when Chen Ping'an was about to leave, the little girl came to a back alley area full of dung and crowing dogs. A group of men standing crookedly were waiting there, as if they were waiting for her arrival. The men
They were all young, some were thirteen or fourteen years old, the oldest was only in their early twenties, they were careless and gangsters. One of them saw the skinny girl running towards them and kicked her without saying anything.
It was heavy. If the kick was strong, it would probably be able to kick the little girl away. Fortunately, the girl seemed to have expected it, but she did not avoid it. Instead, she intentionally or unintentionally slowed down a little while running and was kicked.
However, he was not kicked hard, and then he fell back without any flaws. After struggling for a while, he stood up with a miserable expression. His eyes and expressions when he looked at those people were full of flattery and ingratiation that seemed to be born with him.
A sturdy ruffian who was supposed to be the leader didn't want to waste time, so he let the little girl lead the way.
The group of people went around and spent a lot of time before they found a dilapidated house that had been abandoned for a long time. The little girl quietly stretched out her finger inside. The ruffian leader said with a cruel smile: "If you point me to the wrong way, I'll interrupt you later."
Your leg!"
She shook her head vigorously, then timidly stretched out her hands and held them to her heart.
The ruffian first made a black market move, and the people around him began to besiege the house.
The man didn't get involved. He threw seven or eight copper coins into the little girl's hand and said sullenly: "You little bitch, the remaining half of the copper coins is unfortunate. I don't have it with me. I owe it now. Do you want to wait?"
After you finish your work next time, you can go home with me to get it?"
The little girl shook her head vigorously, shook her head, slid all the copper coins into the palm of one hand, picked up three coins with the other hand, and handed them to the ruffian.
The ruffian was so happy that the little girl was quite good in the film. He waved his hand and lost interest in the idea of ​​continuing to play with her.
The little girl backed away, bowed her head to the man several times, then turned around and ran away.
In the house behind the little girl, someone made a loud wailing sound.
The little girl just ran and quickly spread her palms, looking at the few copper coins, her young but yellow face suddenly burst into laughter.
————
Longquan County, where the cave is falling and the sky and the earth are bordered, is like a blessed land full of spiritual energy, which attracts people to covet.
After more than two years of migration, tens of thousands of monsters and spirits in the surrounding area gradually began to attach themselves to the mountains, and the situation became stable.
Among them, there are only three great demons in the Golden Core Realm. Without exception, each of them was once a powerful giant. As for whether there is a Nascent Soul Great Demon hiding among them and unwilling to be exposed prematurely, we don’t know for the time being.
Due to various reasons, those who died on the way, died suddenly, and those who did not follow the rules and were suppressed and killed by the Dali court, totaled close to a thousand. However, the number of deaths among the demons of the middle and fifth realms was not large. Most of them had just started practicing, and they only relied on
A low-end demon clan with a ferocious nature.
Among the demon clan, there are only a handful of people who are qualified to receive the Peace and Nothingness Card issued by the Dali Imperial Court.
For this reason, the monsters who rely on the major mountains to serve as worshippers or guardians of the mountain gates either use their own money to deal with the relationship with the government, or pray to the owner of the mansion to show favor to Da Li. They are nothing more than a rich man who can make ghosts.
After all, this profit made the unprepared Da Lihubu smile. By the way, the somewhat stiff relationship with the Ministry of War began to relax. After all, Yuan and Cao, the two great surnames of the Shangzhu Kingdom, and their respective mountaintop forces, were on both sides of the army.
The Yuan and Cao families have been incompatible with each other for nearly a hundred years, and have been tit-for-tat at every turn, which is known to both the government and the public.
As a saint in this small world, Ruan Qiong, who was born in the Fengxue Temple, founded the Longquan Sword Sect. It has a huge territory and covers a large number of mountains including Shenxiu Mountain. However, there are still very few disciples. An abandoned disciple of the Fengxue Temple,
The woman who cut off her thumb was in charge of the old sword shop outside the town. She rarely entered Zongmen Mountain. Her name was Xu Xiaoqiao.
A young man named Dong Gu is taciturn and wears only black clothes all year round.
There is also a long-browed young man from Lizhu Cave, Xie Ling.
Even with the addition of the only daughter Ruan Xiu, Longquan Sword Sect's popularity is still appallingly thin.
But Ruan Qiong didn't seem to care about this. Apart from going to the Dragon-Zhanping Platform cliff in Longji Mountain, and dealing with his family's Fengxue Temple and Zhenwu Mountain, he ignored the worldly affairs, whether it was the prefect Wu Yuan or the Beiyue Zhengshen.
Wei Bo almost never paid attention to him. He didn't pay much attention to the preaching of several disciples, and usually let his daughter Ruan Xiu keep an eye on them.
Shenxiu Mountain, today the sea of ​​clouds is billowing, the sun is floating in the sky, and the sky and sea are shining brightly.
The girl in green with a ponytail, or she can no longer be called a girl, is now slender and taller than when she first entered Lizhu Cave, and her eyebrows have grown longer. It turns out that Miss Ruan Xiu has already
The appearance is graceful and graceful.
Standing next to her were the three founding disciples of her father Ruan Qiong, Xu Xiaoqiao, Dong Gu, and Xie Ling. They rarely met. Among the three, Xu Xiaoqiao called Ruan Xiu the senior sister, and Dong Gu called her Miss Ruan.
Respectfully, young Xie Lingze always likes to call her Sister Xiuxiu.
There was a native dog lying at Ruan Xiu's feet. The old dog that was lying sick and waiting for death on the street of the small town has now become energetic and its eyes are full of intelligence. This is thanks to Ruan Xiu often throwing it to it.
Several pills were of extraordinary quality, and each one was worth thousands of gold. When a passing Qi practitioner saw that scene, he suddenly felt desolate and felt that he was worse than a dog. He wished he could pounce on him and compete with the dog.
Food.
In the gorgeous sea of ​​clouds, there are a few sparse mountains breaking through the sea of ​​clouds, standing tall like islands.
Ruan Xiu pointed to a mountain top, "My father said that as long as you reach the Golden Core realm, he will send a mountain top to tell the world and hold a peak opening ceremony for him."
Then she looked at Dong Gu, "Although you are born in Jingmei, it is more difficult to break through than the three of us, but with your longevity, you have a good foundation. You have already reached the Dragon Gate realm, so you should give it a try."
Dong Gu started to speak but stopped.
He obviously doesn't have much confidence. The Golden Core realm of the middle five realms is the most difficult for monks to crack, and it has blocked countless Longmen realm Qi practitioners. The reason why Dong Gu left his hometown was because he gave up his disguised identity as a grand master of a country and his wealth in the world.
Abandoning them all, he just wanted to use the extraordinary aura of Lizhu Cave to increase his confidence in reaching the golden elixir realm. As for the quality of the golden elixir, and the number of pictures in the elixir room, he would never dare to expect.
If you become a Golden Elixir guest, you will be of my generation.
This sentence has attracted countless Qi practitioners in the world. Year after year, they do not care about worldly affairs, but just practice and ask questions tirelessly.
"When you break through, I will use some means and use the luck of the mountains and rivers in my mountains to help you overcome the enemy."
Ruan Xiu pointed at Xie Ling, "Your junior brother has previously obtained a treasure that is almost an immortal weapon. It is an exquisite tower, which was awarded by an expert. It can reduce the risk of you breaking through."
Xie's long-browed boy looked sad and wanted to jump off a cliff to die.
My sister Xiuxiu, this is my biggest secret, why did you say it so casually?
Dong Gu, who has always had a sterile face, as if he was paralyzed, finally showed a touch of excitement, bowed to his junior brother Xie Ling and said in thanks: "Thank you, junior brother, for this great kindness, Dong Gu will never forget it in his life, and he will definitely repay it in the future!"
Ruan Xiu San dismissed Xie Ling, who had a resentful look in his eyes, "Since there are such good things, we should make the best use of them. Don't always think about hiding and laughing. In the final analysis, Taoist cultivation is about cultivating oneself, too
If you rely too much on external objects, you will have a lot of trouble whether it is against the enemy or your character. The reason why many old Yuanyings died silently in seclusion is because they paid too much attention to magic weapons and artifacts in the process of cultivation."
After Ruan Xiu said these words in one breath as if he was endorsing them, Xie Ling laughed.
Xu Xiaoqiao and Dong Gu also had strange eyes.
Ruan Xiu sighed, a little discouraged, "My father wants me to memorize these principles by rote. It's very difficult for me."
Xie Ling smiled from ear to ear.
Xu Xiaoqiao and Dong Gu smiled knowingly.
Ruan Xiu warned: "Dong Gu, go back and choose a feng shui treasure place and a good day. Xie Ling and I will show up on time."
