More than a month has passed, and the grandsons Ximen Chen and Si Yu finally walked out of this lonely prairie. After the fierce battle with the grassland overlord Blood Demon Wolf a month ago, the relationship between Si Yu and Ximen Chen
Even more intimate. If in the past Siyu had a kind of respect and admiration for Ximen Chen, now he truly regards Ximen Chen as a grandfather, someone who can talk to him about anything and can play with and joke with him casually.
Old man.
But Ximen Chen taught Siyu even more things. It was not only guidance on cultivation, but also teachings on life experience. Among them, the thing that made Siyu secretly proudest was the barbecue set he learned from Ximen Chen.
technology,
Siyu knows how to find delicious food in the vast prairie where food is scarce, and he also knows a set of barbecue skills that can be called the best outdoor cooking.
Ximen Chen did not expect that Siyu was so talented in cooking. In the first few days of the trip, Ximen Chen cooked with his own hands while Siyu watched. But one day Siyu secretly stole a small wild boar.
After it was cooked, it actually made Ximen Chen cry. From then on, Siyu took care of all Ximen Chen's meals. If there was a shortage of food and only one pheasant was available, Siyu would have no chance at all.
Taste the delicacies of your own barbecue.
But Ximen Chen had no sympathy for Siyu at all. In his words, "You only need to eat those inner elixirs. There are so many Blood Demon Wolf inner elixirs that can be eaten like beans to support you."
Every time at this time, Siyu would look at his grandfather devouring food with extremely depressed eyes, while he could only swallow a few red inner elixirs with a bitter taste.
……………………
That day, the wind was warm and sunny. It had been two days since they left the vast grassland. Siyu and the others finally arrived in the city of mortals.
"'Qingfeng City', grandpa, it's so big here and there are so many people!" Siyu looked at the tall city wall in front of her and couldn't help but sigh.
Ximen Chen was about to show his learned side. He straightened his back and looked like a man of great virtue and respect. Seeing him pointing at the towering city wall, he said to Siyu: "My child, do you know the origin of Qingfeng City?"
"Does this city also have an origin?"
"Of course, it was a long, long time ago..." Ximenchen stroked his silver beard out of habit and began to give an epic speech. The two men walked and talked, but Siyu listened to every word.
As I looked, my mind had long drifted to the trucks on the roadside. The shouts of the vendors kept coming. In order to increase the intensity of publicity, some vendors specially compiled the advertising slogans into popular limericks to promote
own products. So the not-so-wide street turned into an open-air poetry and singing arena. The vendors' voices and new ideas of poetry completely determined the day's results, so everyone worked extra hard.
Of course Siyu would not understand the bitterness and ruthlessness contained in those weird songs. He was only attracted by the atmosphere and the lifelike clay figurines, candied haws, painting masks and other gadgets on the roadside that were enough to attract him.
.
But Ximenchen just said ruthlessly, "I have no money," and extinguished the little flame of hope in Siyu's heart.
Ximen Chen didn't care about his image, so he pulled Siyu forward and walked forward. Siyu, on the other hand, looked back three times, reluctant to say goodbye to the new gadgets filling the street.
In fact, it's not that Ximen Chen is cruel, but that he doesn't want Siyu to be exposed to mortal things. Siyu's life will definitely be unfair, so he doesn't want Siyu to be stained with the dust of the world.
Ximen Chen pulled Siyu through the maze-like streets with ease. Siyu found that his grandfather was leading him deeper and deeper into the city, but the flow of people around him was slowly decreasing. But after a while, there was no one left. Out of sight.
"Grandpa, where are you taking me?"
Seeing her grandfather's serious face, Siyu didn't dare to ask any more questions. But at this moment, the fewer people she saw, the better her grandfather looked, which made her feel strange. Unexpectedly, when grandpa opened his mouth, Siyu almost fainted in shock.
Seeing Ximen Chen, he said: "Huh, I finally found the right path. I haven't been here for more than a hundred years and I almost got lost."
Siyu felt extremely depressed, thinking about the serious expression on her grandfather's face just now. It turned out that he was recognizing the way.
"Then grandpa, why don't you just ask?"
Ximen Chen smiled and said to Siyu with a red face: "Kid, what do you know? This place is not accessible to ordinary people, so you should follow me quickly." He ignored Siyu and moved forward alone. .
Siyu hurriedly followed, but the two of them had not walked long. Suddenly, there was a gust of wind behind them. Ximenchen's face changed drastically. He turned around, faltered in his steps, and pulled Siyu past the hidden weapon shot from behind.
"Ding, ding, ding..." More than a dozen darts penetrated deeply into the bluestone bricks. The dark darts shone with a cold light, which was clearly poisonous. A layer of cold sweat rose up on Siyu's back. If it hadn't been for Grandpa's pull just now, Looking at myself, I am afraid that I have stabbed the ethmoid sinus with a hidden weapon now.
"Huh, three-eyed old monster. Is this how you treat your friends when they come to you?" Ximen Chen looked at the red lacquered door at the end of the corridor and said sternly. The voice contained inner strength, like thunder, and it shook the roofs of the surrounding houses. The dust was shaken off.
After saying this, Ximen Chen acted as if nothing was wrong and stood aside in the aisle with his eyes closed to rest. Siyu was looking around curiously. Not long after, there was an equally majestic and powerful laugh, The locked red door opened slowly.
Siyu opened his eyes wide and saw a group of people walking out of the door. The leader was like his grandfather, with white beard and eyebrows, and he would be a big grandson next year. He saw his face glowing red, dressed in green clothes, and walking extremely Smooth, seems to be very good at lowering the plate.
The old man in green clothes clasped his fists and laughed again. When he saw him leading his disciples, he walked respectfully to Ximen Chen and bowed.
"Humph, Sanyan, I haven't seen you in a hundred years, you are very arrogant. If I hadn't been more careful, I might not even be able to find anyone collecting the corpses right now."
The old man in green clasped his fists and laughed again: "Haha, what the immortal said, this young man from Anshao has never seen the world and does not understand the immortal's wisdom. I hope you will forgive me for this rudeness."
"Hmph!!" Ximen Chen didn't show off his dignity at all. He snorted coldly, threw away his hands and walked into the yard.
Siyu looked amused from behind, and found it particularly interesting when she saw her grandpa acting domineering. She immediately quickened her pace and followed behind her grandpa.
The old man in green clothes quickly winked at his men. When he saw him wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves, he quickly put on a smile on his face and hurried forward to greet him.
After passing through the red lacquered gate, Siyu looked up and saw four large golden characters engraved on the cabinet plaque, with a smooth and elegant seal, and the words "Fire Dragon Escort Agency" written on it.
After crossing the gate, the world inside suddenly jumped into view. Siyu looked in wonder at the fairyland-like water stop in front of him. Compared with the regular old-fashioned gate outside, this place can truly be regarded as a paradise on earth.
A pool of spring water flows down from a rockery that is nearly 20 to 30 feet high. At the foot of the mountain is a clear spring. The spring water is green and very clear, but the depth is hard to fathom. Surrounded by exotic flowers and plants, this back garden expands infinitely.
Opening up, the towers are hidden inside, like pavilions dotted in the canvas.
Siyu opened his mouth wide and looked at this paradise-like place in disbelief. He couldn't believe that this was actually a private house in the middle of a bustling city.
"Sanyan, you still know how to enjoy it. Although this place is small, the layout is not as bad as my Five Mountains."
"Haha, what the hell, the immortal is too modest. I am just making a small fuss, how can it be compared to the Five Mountains Mysterious Realm. Come on, please come this way." The old man in green smiled apologetically and led Mr. Ximen and Chen deep into the outer garden.
Along the way, Siyu couldn't help but smack his lips. The garden was far larger than he imagined. There were many small courtyards hidden deep in the garden. There was also a small training ground in each courtyard. All the way.
Counting over, there are actually about twenty such small courtyards, many of which are lined with relatively large stone training grounds and other buildings.
The feeling here for Siyu is just one word, "big!"
And the second feeling is "beautiful!" The houses and trees here are very exquisitely designed. Every building is consistent with the surrounding scenery, and it looks like a whole. The wonderful combination makes this place really worthy of it.
Paradise on earth.
"arrive."
He didn't know how long he had been wandering around, but when Siyu was about to get dizzy, the old man in green who was walking in front suddenly pointed at the splendid building in front of him and said.
Walking into the main hall, he saw that the four walls were decorated with gold powder, and even the floor tiles were made of gold. Siyu secretly sighed, and kept wondering in his mind what kind of reputation this "Fire Dragon Escort Agency" was. It was so rich and powerful that it could be in the middle of the city.
Build a maze-like garden palace.
At this moment, a sumptuous lunch table has been placed in the main hall. The old man in Tsing Yi smiled and invited Ximen Chen to come up to cook. Even Siyu followed suit and sat on the passenger seat with his grandfather. On the other side of Ximen Chen, the old man in Tsing Yi was doing the meal.
, in the book at the back are the elders who are accompanying them.
The old man in green personally poured a glass of wine for Ximen Chen, raised the glass and said: "With this first glass of wine, I want to apologize to the immortal. The rudeness of my disciple just now really cost me a few years of my life."
Ximen Chen smiled slightly and waved his hand.
"This second glass of wine is because the immortal can visit my humble abode and feel refreshed."
Ximen Chen smiled slightly and raised his glass.
"This third glass of wine is to congratulate the immortal for his improvement in Taoism. I think back then when the immortal announced his retreat, it really made those juniors who expected to see the majestic appearance of the immortal sigh. Now that a hundred years have passed, the immortal must have improved his skills after leaving seclusion.
It’s already unparalleled in the world.”
Ximen Chen was so complimented that he couldn't hide the joy on his face. He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Hey, I'm not kidding you, I'm already the best in martial arts."
"Why do immortals have to be humble? Your supreme magic has made us sigh in despair as early as that year. Now that hundreds of years have passed, there is no reason to improve it to a higher level."
Ximen Chen just waved his hand again without explaining much.
