Chapter 315: Sun Moon City, Xia Family, and Tian An Zhai
A few days later, the two returned to Sun Moon City.
The reason why she came back here is because Mengbai also has a private house in the city. She also hid some spiritual stone pills in this private house. Since she has decided to return to Yunmengze with Qin Shaoyou, the things here will be gone.
Must keep it.
Of course, Qin Shaoyou could go directly to his "second uncle", the fourth master of the Wenren Sect, to get some supplies, but he knew that his current identity as Qin Zheng was fake, so he did not dare to come rashly to "recognize each other"
.
Besides, people's hearts are separated from each other. After so many years, who knows what the Marquis of Qin is thinking.
"I've been away for so many years, and I don't know if those things are still there..."
"It's okay. You go and do your work. We'll meet at the city gate in two hours."
Mengbai originally wanted Qin Shaoyou to go with him to help "move", but he didn't expect that the latter was "unreasonable" at all. Mengbai was speechless about this, but there was nothing he could do about it. Who made her retreat in cultivation now?
Well, why not Qin Shaoyou?
"All right..."
She caught a glimpse of Qin Shaoyou's gaze, which was facing the north of the city, and she had already vaguely guessed what he was thinking. However, she did not stop, and immediately left towards the west of the city after responding.
Qin Shaoyou withdrew his gaze, hesitated on the spot for a moment, and then walked towards the north of the city.
He just wanted to sneak back and take a look at the Xia family in the north of the city. Unexpectedly, when he got there, he found that the Xia family was already empty. The original small courtyard had been demolished and transformed into a small garden.
What is going on?
Qin Shaoyou was very puzzled. Could it be that the Xia family has become prosperous in recent years?
Finally, not far away, he found an old butcher who had lived here for half his life. From the old man's mouth, Qin Shaoyou heard some news that shocked him.
"You mean this Xia family?"
"That's a long story!"
The old butcher sold the butcher's knife, wiped his greasy hands on the gray hexagram on his chest, then grabbed a broken kettle placed aside and drank a few gulps, and then said slowly:
"First of all, twelve years ago, the second son of the Xia family took some wrong medicine. He seemed to have changed overnight. He no longer had the ruffian spirit before, but he became more knowledgeable and sensible. Not only did he know how to treat his parents
He was filial and helped many neighbors from time to time, so everyone's impression of him became much better."
"Everyone said that it was the boss of the Xia family who came back and brainwashed the second son, and that led to such a change. But no matter what, it is a good thing. The old couple of the Xia family have worked hard all their lives, and now it's time.
It’s time to enjoy peace and happiness.”
"I just didn't expect it..."
When the old butcher said this, he coughed a few times intentionally or unintentionally. Qin Shaoyou smiled helplessly and said:
"Have a nice piece of meat!"
"Okay!"
The old meat seller cut off a large piece of pork belly with a bang and wrapped it up with skillful speed.
Qin Shaoyou took out an ingot of gold.
The old man's eyes shone brightly, and he immediately picked up the gold and put it in his mouth to bite a few times, but it was so hard that his scalp felt numb.
"Go on!"
"Master, don't be anxious, just listen to what I'm going to tell you in detail!"
"But it is said that the two elders of the Xia family reached the age of enjoying happiness, but they did not enjoy it for many years before they passed away one after another. It should be eight years ago, after the Xia family siblings paid their last respects to their elders, my sister Xia Ling left home, saying she was going to
I was looking for someone for a friend, and not long after, my brother Xia Tian gave me a letter of divorce, leaving his wife and daughter behind, saying that he was going to cultivate immortality. But only half a year later, news came from Qingjiang County, a hundred miles away, saying that Xia Tian was divorced.
Someone got into an argument and was killed!"
"What a sin!"
The old man shook his head and sighed, but he cut off a large piece of pork with another knife. This time, he did not ask Qin Shaoyou for money. Instead, he generously gave him the piece of meat.
"After Xia Bao's wife heard the news, she went crazy on the spot. When we found her the next day, she had committed suicide by throwing herself into a well, leaving only a daughter who was less than ten years old."
"The little girl was crying so hard, but fortunately, Xia Ling came back a few days ago. After taking care of her sister-in-law's funeral, she took her niece and sold the property and left.
There has been no news from here since, disappearing into the vast sea of people..."
“It’s really God’s will that manipulates people, and fate that manipulates people!”
The old man opened his eyes that seemed to have seen through the world, and kept looking at the wrapped piece of pork in his hand, but Qin Shaoyou obviously had no intention of paying attention to him now.
Regarding what happened to Xia Bao this time, Qin Shaoyou was actually somewhat prepared from the beginning, but he didn't expect that his formal training would end before he even started. If he hadn't "changed his fate against the will of heaven" for Xia Bao at the beginning, maybe he still does now
Such a bastard, but at least he won't lose his life so quickly.
Therefore, for some people with extremely ordinary qualifications, opening the Jade Gate and becoming an immortal cultivator is not necessarily a good thing.
But there are not so many ifs. The facts are established and no one can change them.
"I hope she won't trust others so easily in the future..."
Qin Shaoyou shook his head and sighed slightly, and then left here without even taking the cut piece of meat.
Now, the old butcher was a little confused.
After that, he went to "Tian'an Zhai", and Wang Fei, the shopkeeper there, repeatedly confirmed that it was Qin Shaoyou who came back, and he was extremely shocked.
There have long been rumors in the world of cultivating immortals. Twelve years ago, in the West Demon Mountain Cave, the four major cultivating forces suffered heavy casualties. In the end, only a few people escaped. Wang Fei had long thought that Qin Shaoyou died inside, but he did not expect to see him again today.
.
“Dear guest, distinguished guest!”
"I really didn't expect to see you again..."
It was ten minutes in the afternoon, and there was no one in the store. When Wang Fei saw a customer coming, he was about to greet him with a playful smile, but then the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch violently, because now he was shocked to find that Qin Shaoyou
His cultivation level is already as deep as an abyss, countless times higher than him!
"Nascent Soul Realm!"
This sense of oppression without anger and self-power is almost the same as the Sun Moon Venerable he once saw from a distance. Although it is not as terrifying as that, it is definitely not far different!
"To be specific, it should be...the middle stage of Nascent Soul?"
Wang Fei already regarded Qin Shaoyou as a powerful man with extraordinary talents.
"Junior Wang Fei, meet your senior..."
In the world of immortal cultivation, seniority is not judged by age. The only criterion is the level of cultivation and strength. This is almost an established rule. It is the same everywhere.
"No need to be polite, shopkeeper."
Qin Shaoyou raised his head and gently lifted up Wang Fei's body that was about to bend down. Now Wang Fei was even more timid, fearing that he would offend the big boss later.
"I wonder what the senior's orders are?"
Qin Shaoyou looked around and asked:
"Do you still have the demon spirit drum you sold me last time?"
Before he went to the West Magic Mountain Caves, he bought a demon spirit drum from Wang Fei. It helped him a lot, but in the end it was snatched away by Wu Fengce. Qin Shaoyou thought this thing was very useful, so he planned to
Buy another one.
When Wang Fei heard this, he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
I saw him making a clang and kneeling straight on the ground with both knees.
"Senior, have mercy on me!"
"This junior really doesn't know that the demon spirit inside the demon spirit drum is uncontrollable. It's really the thief who sold it to me who tricked me!"
Wang Fei said tremblingly, not pretending at all. Now Qin Shaoyou was a little confused.
"What are you doing?"
"What on earth is going on? Tell the truth!"
He shouted in a deep voice, and then Wang Fei said with a drooped face:
"The thing is like this, that day, the senior came to my Tiananzhai for the first time to buy something. After the senior left, a mysterious masked man came. It was he who handed the demon spirit drum to the junior and offered a big price for it.
The junior looks for an opportunity to sell this thing to the senior..."
"This is the first time that this junior has seen someone paying me to sell something, and after I sold the demon spirit drum, that person didn't come to collect the money..."
"This junior is really blinded by lard. He shouldn't be greedy for those spiritual stones..."
Wang Fei gritted his teeth and looked distressed.
Now Qin Shaoyou was a little confused. According to Wang Fei, even if that person had a plan, what exactly was he planning?
"Do you still remember what that person looks like?"
"I really can't remember. He came in with his face covered back then. The junior was just happy, how could he care about so much..."
Wang Fei replied innocently.
This person can be considered honest, and it is the nature of a businessman to have an eye for money, so there is no doubt about this.
Qin Shaoyou thought for a long time and couldn't think of any reason, but Wang Fei's words reminded him that he could only buy and sell goods once in the future, and he must not enter the same store twice!
"So, there is only one demon spirit drum?"
"Only one! No more!"
Wang Fei nodded firmly.
"Okay, that's it, farewell!"
Qin Shaoyou didn't say anything more, and immediately turned around and left. Wang Fei watched him leave, and only after he could no longer feel Qin Shaoyou's breath did he collapse to the ground.
Not long after, a sign saying "Closed for a few days" was hung at the door of Tian'an Zhai.
After half a stick of incense, Qin Shaoyou arrived at the gate of the city that he had agreed with Mengbai. The latter had changed his clothes at this time. It was no longer the black Taoist robe. Instead, she was dressed like an ordinary woman in the world. But even if
Even so, it is difficult to cover up her earthly temperament. On the contrary, Qin Shaoyou always wears a black robe and does not look like a good person.
Mengbai looked back at the familiar street and murmured:
"I'll say goodbye here, and I probably won't come back again..."
"No matter how nice this place is, it's still not Yunmengze. Don't be sad and let's go."
Meng Bai's shoulders shook slightly, but he finally nodded, then turned around and followed Qin Shaoyou's footsteps. The two of them passed through the city gate, one after another, and then flew directly up into the air and left towards the north.
