Chen Jianchen burned a piece of bamboo, and the bamboo immediately made a crackling sound, just like the sound of firecrackers in his previous life - New Year...
Compared with last year, after moving into Jiangzhou City, the Chen family became much more deserted. It was not as lively as it was in Jingyang Village. The place where Liaozhai is located is somewhat remote, with not many neighbors and ordinary relationships with each other.
Much friendship.
On New Year's Eve, during the big dinner, Chen Jianchen asked A Bao to invite Lu Xi to come over for dinner. Mo Sanniang heard it over there. When A Bao went out, she called her son and asked: "Liu Xian, who are you and Miss Na Lu?"
Isn’t there some connection?”
Chen Jianchen hesitated for a moment and said vaguely: "Haier and she experienced some things in Suzhou."
Mo Sanniang nodded: "Miss Lu is a good girl. Although the neighbors said that she used to be a shepherd in the walking bird building, there was some discussion, but so what? She has a pure and white body, a graceful temperament, and a superb skill.
My mother likes medical skills very much."
Saying "Mom likes her very much" is equivalent to encouraging Chen Jianchen to pursue her.
Mo Sanniang is not one of those ignorant women, she is more open-minded.
Chen Jianchen smiled and said: "Children have a sense of propriety."
Not long after, Lu Xiyue came over. She was wearing a well-fitting plain dress with red edges and a jacket. She looked voluptuous. She had a pretty face with a thin layer of makeup, bright as water, and full of charm.
I don't know if it's because I've grown a year older, but my body has begun to grow, and I seem to be taller. My chest is bulging, and it's already quite big.
She first said hello to Mo Sanniang and Chen Jianchen, then rolled up her sleeves and entered the kitchen, where she prepared a meal with A Bao skillfully.
Mo Sanniang originally told her not to do anything, but how could Lu Xiyue be willing to sit in the hall and wait for her meal? Seeing that she was so sensible and hard-working, Mo Sanniang liked her even more.
Abao and Lu Xiyue, two girls who can be said to be "loli" level, worked together. Their hands and feet were quick and they prepared a table full of rice in less than half an hour. There were nine dishes and one soup. It was very impressive.
Rich.
Chen Jianchen stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of chicken and put it into his mouth. He felt that it was tender, tender and very delicious, and he praised: "This chicken is cooked well."
Lu Xiyue's face turned red and she said, "Thank you for the compliment, Master."
It turned out that this dish was made by her. Chen Jianchen said with a smile: "Xi Yue, you don't have to be too restrained. From now on, just like A Bao, you might as well call me Brother Liuxian."
Lu Xiyue's mind changed, she stood up and said, "Well, thank you, Brother Liuxian." In her mind, her "Brother Liuxian" and Abao's "Brother Liuxian" were fundamentally different.
It has an extra sense of intimacy.
Abao watched from the side, his dark eyes rolled around, he picked up a piece of lion head and put it into Chen Jianchen's bowl: "Brother Liuxian, you should also try the braised lion head made by Abao."
Chen Jianchen took a bite without politeness and praised: "Yes, Ah Bao's cooking skills seem to have improved to a higher level. Having Ah Bao in the family is really a treasure."
Abao smiled until his eyes turned into crescent moons.
This sumptuous meal passed in a harmonious and pleasant atmosphere. Chen Jianchen had a great appetite and ate happily. He really enjoyed the meal.
After the meal, Chen Jianchen sent Lu Xiyue back to Golden Needle House. When they said goodbye at the door, Lu Xiyue reluctantly held Chen Jianchen's sleeve and whispered: "Brother Liuxian, can you make a date with me?"
Chen Jianchen was startled, and saw Lu Xiyue's shy and pretty face through the dim light of the lantern. He immediately felt pity for her and stretched out his hands to gently hug her into his arms.
Her delicate body was in her arms, trembling slightly.
Chen Jianchen himself felt a little nervous - although he was a time traveler, he was still a junior brother in this regard no matter in his previous life or in this life. He didn't know where to place his hands. He finally figured out the position.
He was about to take action, but Lu Xiyue in his arms left softly, lowered his head and said: "Brother Liuxian, I'm entering the house."
Returned and entered Golden Needle House.
Chen Jianchen shook his head, smiled, and walked back to his home on the other side.
It was unusually cold tonight. At Haishi, snow began to fall in the sky again. The snow fell with a sound, just like pieces of white feathers falling down.
Chen Jianchen sat in the study warmed by the charcoal fire, drinking hot tea made by Abao, listening to the sound of falling snow outside, feeling empty and not thinking about anything.
Squeak!
Suddenly, a very familiar cry came from the south corner of the study, and then Xiaoyi's body quickly got out of the hidden hole. When it saw Chen Jianchen, it immediately jumped up on the desk excitedly——
"Um?"
Chen Jianchen deliberately kept a straight face.
When Xiaoyi saw this, he quickly put his two little paws together and bowed respectfully: "Xiaoyi has met the young master, and I wish him a happy New Year!"
Chen Jianchen chuckled: "Xiaoyi, why are you here alone?" He saw Xiaoyi, who was obviously fatter than before, and his fur was almost completely white, as if he had turned into a little white mouse. He was wearing a
The mandarin jacket sewn from brand new yellow fabric must have been made by Ying Ning.
A little mouse wearing a yellow jacket!
Xiaoyi said hurriedly: "Young Master, this is how it is. Sister Yingning has been in retreat in Wosong Cave. Recently, she had a feeling that she might be able to condense the golden elixir soon, so she thought about waiting for the golden elixir to condense and change.
I'll find you later after you die."
"What? Ying Ning will soon be able to form a golden elixir?"
Chen Jianchen had a surprise encounter.
You must know that it is not easy for monsters to condense the golden elixir. Except for some naturally gifted species, the most important thing for ordinary monsters to achieve the golden elixir path after enlightenment is to have formal methods; secondly, it takes a long time
It takes time to practice and accumulate. But now, Ying Ning's awakening time is very short, and he can actually condense the golden elixir. The progress is really fast.
Xiaoyi said: "Sister Yingning has practiced very hard. She has finally completely refined the Taoist Kunlun Jade Purity Mantra, and with the addition of the spiritual veins from Wosong Cave, her cultivation has been able to advance rapidly."
Chen Jianchen sighed and suddenly asked: "Ying Ning is about to form the elixir, what about you, Xiao Yi? What results will you get from practicing hard for many days?"
Xiaoyi chuckled and scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Xiaoyi's talent is far inferior to that of sister Yingning. His cultivation level has not improved much, but he finally learned the invisibility technique."
Chen Jianchen said with a straight face: "I'm afraid you are often lazy too."
Being struck by the young master's words, Xiaoyi immediately stood upright and lowered his head, like a child who had made a mistake and wanted to accept the lessons from his elders unconditionally.
"You, you..."
Chen Jianchen picked up a writing brush and tapped Xiao Yi three times on the head. However, he also knew that Xiao Yi's nature was such that it would be difficult to change in a short time, and it was hard to scold him too much, so he asked: "Have you learned the art of invisibility?"
, and show it to me."
"As you command!"
Xiao Yi recited a mantra, turned 360 degrees on the spot, and as soon as he said it, a circle of light emitted from his whole body, and his body disappeared from Chen Jianchen's sight.
Invisibility!
It's really mysterious...
No matter how hard Chen Jianchen opened his eyes, he couldn't see where Xiao Yi was. He suddenly remembered that in those myths and legends, gods often used this invisibility technique to trick their enemies. It was tried and tested and it was very useful.
After a while, Xiao Yi appeared on the spot and said: "Sir, Xiao Yi's magic power is very low, and the invisibility effect can only last for one stick of incense. Sister Ying Ning is so powerful. She can last for an hour."
Since invisibility belongs to the category of spells, it will of course consume mana and must not be used squandered without limit. Although Xiaoyi's invisibility can only last for one stick of incense, it can still play a significant role at certain specific moments.
of.
Chen Jianchen pondered for a moment and asked, "Xiaoyi, when are you going to go back to Fengshan?"
I heard Xiao Yi respectfully reply: "Sir, Xiao Yi will not go back again. From now on, he will be by your side and do the work of dogs and rats."
Chen Jianchen asked: "Aren't you going back to Wosongdong to practice?"
Xiaoyi said: "Sister Yingning said that people from the imperial court would come to rob Wosong Cave, so she arranged a strange formation that she learned from Taoist books. This formation can speed up the development of Wosong Cave's spiritual veins.
At the same time, the rate of depletion of spiritual veins will be greatly accelerated. According to estimates, Wosong Cave will become an ordinary cave this month."
So it turns out that Ganqing Yingning's rapid improvement in cultivation has a lot to do with this formation.
An idea flashed in Chen Jianchen's mind, and he suddenly said urgently: "If Ying Ning condenses the golden elixir, doesn't that mean he has to survive the heavenly tribulation?"
Xiaoyi said: "Well, I want to overcome the tribulation."
Chen Jianchen patted his thigh and said, "If she wants to overcome the tribulation, I can help her. Well, Xiaoyi, when did Yingning say she would form a pill?"
Xiaoyi said: "There is no precise number for this, but Sister Yingning said it would be three months at the earliest."
Three months is not a short period of time, and there is still enough time to respond.
Chen Jianchen let out a long sigh - he helped Jiao Na overcome the tribulation last time. He held the demon-inducing sword and introduced her inner demons into his body, thus greatly sharing the danger and pressure that Jiao Na faced during the tribulation and allowing her to survive smoothly.
The calamity is successful. This method is also applicable to Ying Ning.
In view of this, when Chen Jianchen and Huangfu's father and daughter parted, they had already foreseen asking each other to give the magic sword to themselves, and now they keep it in the study. I thought that Ying Ning would not be able to overcome the disaster so quickly, but unexpectedly
The truth is always beyond imagination, and it won't take long for the magic sword to come in handy again.
Chen Jianchen suddenly thought that he could use the Haoran Yangwu Sword to kill inner demons and help people overcome tribulations. This was a very practical function. Could it be that he still had the potential to be an "auxiliary expert in overcoming tribulations"?
Of course, he wouldn't stupidly write a sign and carry it around to solicit business. Occasionally helping people or monsters around him is okay, but as for being a professional, it's better to skip it.
"Well, Xiaoyi, you'd better go back to Fengshan. I'll write a letter and give it to Yingning."
"OK."
Soon, Chen Jianchen quickly wrote a letter and stuffed it into a pocket on the left side of Xiaoyi's yellow mandarin jacket - Yingning was so ingenious that he even left a pocket on the jacket ingeniously.
Isn't it a red envelope for a small gift?
After taking the letter, Xiaoyi said goodbye, jumped off the desk, and went out from the "Queen" tunnel.
