The late autumn morning has already made early risers feel a little chilly.
In the garden in the backyard of Yan Mansion, the woman in charge of cleaning just yawned and was shivered by a gust of cool wind. She quickly tucked her coat tightly, exhaled and muttered: "The weather is getting worse every day.
It’s getting colder and winter is coming..."
But the strange thing is that this cold wind seemed to only pass by her side, and the surrounding trees did not move at all.
And this gust of wind drifted into the guest courtyard, it was Yan Qingzheng.
In the guest room, Baili Xiyi was meditating. Although he had been down the mountain for a while, he still started meditating from early in the morning every day and stopped at sunrise.
However, today he stopped working early because he sensed someone coming to the yard.
He stood up and walked out while shaking his head. The spiritual energy at the bottom of the mountain was very thin, and the more people gathered, the thinner the spiritual energy was. Moreover, the little spiritual energy was also very mixed. If a person with a low mood stayed in this environment for a long time,
Meditating to absorb spiritual energy may affect your character and even lead to obsession.
When he opened the door, he saw Yan Qing standing there wearing an ordinary dress. Although the clothes were ordinary, her appearance and temperament were still extraordinary.
"Junior sister Yan?" Bailixi was startled, "You...why did you come here so early?"
"Senior Brother Baili, I want to leave quietly while my family is still awake. Are you ready?"
Yan Qingzheng smiled slightly and asked.
"Leaving now?" Don't you need to say hello to the elders?
"Um."
"Okay!" As soon as Bailixi realized what she was doing, she nodded quickly and said, "Junior Sister Yan, wait a moment, I'll get my things and leave."
"good."
Bailixi turned around and went back to her room. She put some supplies that she had put in the room for meditation into the storage ring. After thinking about it, she left a note on the table, put on her coat and walked out, smiling: "Junior Sister Yan,
We can go."
Just as Yan Qing nodded, he immediately jumped into the air and flew out of Yan's Mansion before landing. Bai Lixi quickly followed.
The two people looked at each other and smiled.
Bailixi scratched his head and said, "Why does he sound like a thief?"
Yan Qingzheng rolled his eyes at him: "You make it sound like you have been a thief."
"No...no!" Bailixi smiled sarcastically, "Junior sister Yan, where should we go next?"
"Hmm..." Yan Qing was thinking about it, looked around, chose a direction, and said: "Over there!"
Bailixi followed her and Yan Qing whispered as he walked: "I remember there seems to be a breakfast stall in the alley here. Their steamed buns are very delicious..."
Bailixi made a movement and said funnyly: "Junior sister Yan is hungry? Then why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
"I'm not very hungry, but... I'm afraid I won't be able to leave for a while after breakfast."
"Why?"
"Because..." Yan Qing paused and looked up at the sky, which was just getting dark, "They are reluctant to let me go."
Baili Xiyi seemed to understand. He came from the Xuanmen family. Anyone in the family who had some cultivation skills would be fully supported by the family. If the Baili family had a genius like Yan Qingzheng and worked so hard, I'm afraid not all of them would be successful.
I'm so excited, why would I be reluctant to part with it?
"Ah, here we are..." As she spoke, she had already arrived at a breakfast stall. Yan Qing was excitedly pointing to the steaming place behind the stall and said, "It's right here. Smell it, it smells so delicious!"
Prissy took a deep breath. Sure enough, the aroma was fragrant and very appetizing. However, he didn't care much about eating and drinking, and just nodded.
Yan Qing found an empty table and sat down, and said loudly: "Boss, please bring two steamed buns and two bowls of tofu!"
"Okay!" It seemed that the boss, who was in his thirties, readily agreed, and asked his wife who was helping to fetch two drawers of steamed buns from the steamer, and then filled the tofu puffs himself.
"What is this?" Prissy asked as soon as she saw the tofu with sauce.
"This is tofu bread, haven't you ever eaten it?" Yan Qing was thinking about it and said, "Oh, this is Fengrong Northern snack, please try it, brother, I also ate it once when I was very young!"
When Bailixi smelled it, she felt a little disgusted.
Looking at Yan Qingzheng, I realized that she had stirred it a few times with a white porcelain spoon, scooped it up and ate it in her mouth. She was still smiling, obviously enjoying it.
"Is it really delicious? This taste..." Prissy thought wholeheartedly and tried to take a bite.
"It's not as bad as I thought, but... I still can't get used to it."
But this was recommended by Junior Sister Yan, and she liked to eat it. Even if she didn't like it very much, Baili Xiyi still finished it with a sigh of relief.
After eating breakfast, Yan Qingzheng said: "Let's go shopping for some things. I have already thought about the place for training, but the place is remote and remote. It's better to make more preparations before we set off."
"Listen to junior sister." Baili Xiyi said.
"Okay, senior brother, come with me. Although I'm not very familiar with it, I asked Yun'er to find a map of Zhang Jingcheng yesterday, and I've already marked where to buy things." Yan Qing was taking something out of his arms.
He took out a piece of paper and unfolded it to reveal a map with some small words marked on it.
"Let's go here first!" she said, pointing to a red dot on the map.
Prissy nodded and followed her.
Looking at the girl's active back, Baili Xi recalled a conversation that the head Wenren and the elders had called him over before going down the mountain.
"Xi Yi, you must be twenty years old this year. If you were at the foot of the mountain, you should be old enough to get married at this age."
There was a kind smile on his face that Baili Xiyi had never seen before, but this smile made him feel that he had ulterior motives.
"Uh... right." Baili Xiyi didn't know why. People in Xuanmen rarely talked about marriage.
He thought Wen Renchong said this because he already knew that he and several fellow apprentices had sneaked down the mountain to have fun.
"What your master, the master, means is that you have ever thought of finding a Taoist companion?" Elder Huo asked.
"No!" Baili Xiyi quickly expressed his position, "This disciple is devoted to cultivation and has no distracting thoughts in his mind!" Just kidding, there is a little fairy living in his heart, how can he form a Taoist couple with other women at will? But... Taoist couple
Although it's not possible, you can emulate the graceful and graceful way of walking through the flowers without a leaf touching you.
"Oh! How can you kid have such an idea!" Wen Renchong was worried, "Finding a like-minded Taoist companion can also promote each other's cultivation! On the long road of seeking Taoism, there is someone who will stand by you through thick and thin.
Wouldn’t it be more perfect to have a partner with the right passport! Besides, don’t you always have someone you like?”
Elder Huo was afraid that he would get the wrong idea, so he quickly reminded him: "Your master, the master, wants to bring you and Yantou together! Don't you want to?"
"Junior Sister Yan...Yan?" Bailixi's eyes widened, unable to believe that such a good thing would suddenly happen to her.
"Nonsense!" Wen Ren was so impatient that he almost stamped his feet, "Otherwise, why would we bring this up to you!"
"Disciple is willing!" Baili Xi was ecstatic and said loudly, bowing deeply and saying, "Thank you so much, Master Master, for making it possible!"
Wen Renchong, Elder Huo and other elders smiled at each other and exchanged looks of satisfaction, as if the matter had been completed.
"But..." When Bailixi thought of Yan Qingzheng's incredible talent, she asked with a guilty conscience: "I am willing to be a disciple, but Junior Sister Yan... can she like a disciple?"
Wen Renchong stroked his beard and thought carefully: "You also know that girl's character, coupled with her cultivation, there are not many people in the world who can force her! After all, she is the pride of our Tianyimen, and we
I don’t want to force her. So, go down the mountain now, try your best to stay by her side, and slowly develop feelings."
"That's right. After all, she is only fourteen years old. You are twenty years old, and you still can't handle a little girl?" Elder Huo said without hesitation.
Wen Renchong raised his hand to stop him and said: "What we mean is that Qing'er is still young after all. In the past few years that you have been with her, you must use your actions and sincerity to impress her. When she is old enough,
When I first fell in love, I happened to have you by my side... wouldn't it just happen naturally?"
"The key is not to give others a chance! I don't know how many years this girl will stay under the mountain, so you can't let your guard down!"
"Yes, disciple understands."
"You also know," Elder Huo said. Baili Xiyi is his direct disciple, so he cares more about this matter than others. "We also have high expectations for you. Although girl Yan's talent is indeed rare in a thousand years,
We meet each other, but you are not bad either. You are also a rare talent! So we want you two to get together as soon as possible..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wen Renchong, who winked at Elder Huo and said: "It's too early to say this now, isn't there still a big trouble before that!
Solve that problem first, and it’s not too late to mention other things!”
"May I ask Master, what is the trouble?"
"Well... you'll find out when you go." Wen Renchong was afraid of dampening his enthusiasm and did not plan to tell him the news that Yan Qingzheng was engaged. "Perhaps this matter will have been resolved by the time you go."
Elder Huo also changed the subject: "By the way, are you familiar with those male disciples of the Yan family?"
"Fortunately..." Bailixi was not stupid, he was sure that these two old men must be hiding something from him...
"This time I can contact them when I go down the mountain."
"Yes." Prissy agreed.
The so-called people who have come down from the mountain in Taoism despise those who give up cultivating immortality and return to the mortal world. Of course, the experience of going down the mountain is not among them. In fact, people in Taoism will basically never interact with those who have come down from the mountain, even though they were once the same sect.
But since the headmaster and the elders said so, he should just do it. They must have deep meaning in what they said.
But now that the boys of the Yan family are not at home, and he has gone to practice with Yan Qingzheng, does he still need to keep in touch with them?
"Senior Brother Baili?" Yan Qingzheng had already come out of a shop. In order not to attract other people's attention, she carried the things she just bought in her hands and did not put them in the ring.
"Huh?" Bailixi came to her senses, quickly took the thing from Yan Qingzheng's hand, and asked, "What did junior sister Yan just say? I was a little distracted."
"Haha, it's nothing." Yan Qingzheng smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go to the next house."
