Once the world became chaotic, Liu Caichun's business became increasingly difficult. 『Elegant*Wen*Words*Emotion*First*Posted』
Chengfeng Island is an important thoroughfare between the West Sea and the South China Sea. It used to have people coming and going, but now it is even more intense due to the war. The magic sect in charge of this place has filled the sea several times and arranged this island like a fortress. generally. There were a lot of guests coming and going, not only the casual cultivators in the past, but also the orthodox disciples of the Holy Land, so Liu Caichun felt that the pressure was getting heavier and heavier.
There are no rules for casual cultivators in the first place, but they have become even more strict in recent years. If Liu Caichun had not entered Taoism, let alone this small inn, even Xiao Xier would have been kidnapped and used as a furnace. . It is said that heroes emerge from troubled times, but Liu Caichun feels that only a few heroes emerge from troubled times. Most people will only be forced into desperate situations and then embark on a crazy path of no return.
Those high-ranking holy places are desperately trying to provoke wars and carve up territory, but have they ever cared about the life and death of their lower-level practitioners? Liu Caichun felt that like most casual cultivators, he feared and loathed these holy places.
In the eyes of the Holy Land, they have devoted almost everything they have to their respective Taoist traditions without reservation. However, in the eyes of casual cultivators, they have usurped all kinds of resources such as elixirs and elixirs, monopolized all the techniques that can lead to Taoism in the world, and now they are going to start a war. It is an unforgivable crime to leave them with no way to make a living. The upper and lower levels of the entire monastic world are completely isolated. Casual practitioners cannot understand what the Holy Land is doing, and the Holy Land does not bother to explain to these impure people.
"Hahaha, little girl, you still have a tough temper!" A fat old man slapped Xiao Xi'er on the butt. He looked angrily at the pretty and lovely girl in front of him, with a bit of salivation in his eyes. color.
Liu Caichun's thoughts were interrupted by this voice. He looked at a table next to the door. On that table sat several casual cultivators wearing gold and silver. They looked very glamorous, but their expressions were wretched and slippery. Just like a mortal merchant. One of the bad old men was pestering Xiao Xi'er who was going to check out. Xiao Xi'er's face turned red but she couldn't break away from the man's hold. In fact, casual cultivators are not much different from ordinary people. Some casual cultivators even behave more despicably because they have extraordinary powers.
Liu Caichun's face darkened. These three people were all Taoist cultivators. Judging from the magical weapons they wore, they should have a good background. Although he did not dare to provoke such scoundrels, he could not just watch Xiao Xi'er being bullied. He left his seat, walked up to these casual cultivators with a kind and amiable smile, and shouted loudly as he walked: "I'm sorry for the guests!"
"You clumsy thing!" He came to the table, grabbed Xiao Xi'er's hair, and cursed fiercely, "What if I bump into a few distinguished guests! Get out of here!"
Xiao Xi'er screamed and was thrown away by him, and then ran into the backyard with tears in her eyes.
Liu Caichun hurriedly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry for making you angry. Why don't you treat this meal as my treat?"
The old man's eyes were fixed on Xiao Xi'er. He waited until she disappeared behind the curtain and then said to Liu Caichun: "You think we Xihai Sanxiao are easy to mess with! Hurry up and prepare a good guest room for us." , and then send that girl over!"
Casual cultivators always like to come up with such nicknames, but there is nothing new. If you shout "Sanxiao from the West Sea" on any street in Chengfeng Island, at least six people will turn around.
Liu Caichun was disdainful, but his expression was hesitant: "Well... to be honest, that little hoof just now is not a cultivator, so it must be of no use as a furnace."
"Hahaha, what kind of furnace? Just give us a few to taste! If you don't agree, I will demolish your shop!" The old man laughed cunningly, and the other two people also laughed. 『Elegant*Wen*Words*Emotion*First*Posted』
But while they were smiling and laughing, they felt something was wrong. The originally noisy store seemed to suddenly fall into silence, except for the laughter of a few of them.
The old man stopped laughing in embarrassment, glanced at the sights of the other monks on the table with his peripheral vision, and then followed everyone's gazes towards the door.
Standing by the door was a handsome and handsome young man. He was wearing a Tai Chi yin and yang Taoist robe, with a dust fly hanging from his hand, and a complex and divine cyan mark on his forehead. This young Taoist looks gentle and peaceful, with a surging aura and gleaming eyes. He simply stops at the door of the store and makes people feel his unique aura. This makes the old man immediately separate him from the San who is trapped in the filth of the world. Repair to distinguish.
Liu Caichun was also surprised. This person's aura was really strong and pure, and he didn't look like a casual cultivator. Just as he was about to go forward, the young Taoist walked in on his own. As he moved, Liu Caichun also saw the person following him.
It was a girl about thirteen years old, with wide sleeves and wide belt, a black robe with red stripes, her eyebrows lowered and her eyes closed, and she walked barefoot. Her hands and feet were tied with rough chains. The chains were made of gold or stone, and were painted with ferocious and murderous demonic patterns. She felt dizzy at first sight. This girl looks quite thin, with her hands and feet bound by such large chains, which makes people feel pity for her. Almost all the guests looked along the end of the chain and found that it was held in the hand of the young Taoist.
This man Liu Caichun had just met not long ago. He was a disciple of the Wuwu Demon Realm who called himself Huang Quan.
"Are there no empty seats?" The young Taoist accepted everyone's gaze calmly. He looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Xihai Sansame.
The old man's heart trembled when he saw him, and he immediately said: "It's coming soon! We'll leave right now!"
Liu Caichun gritted his teeth and said with a smile, "You guys, please settle your accounts first."
The old man was stunned. His companion wanted to beat Liu Caichun, but he stopped him. He could feel the young Taoist's gentle eyes falling on him, so he had to throw an upper ball at Liu Caichun. Good beautiful jade.
Liu Caichun's sharp eyes recognized that it was a good product, so he quickly took the jade, cleared the table quickly, and asked the young Taoist to sit down.
"What to eat?"
Xie Yao asked Yun Qing to sit down first. There were many stumbling blocks here, and neither her eyes nor the chains were very convenient.
Yun Qing sat down and shook his head: "I have gone without food."
Xie Yao thought for a while and said kindly to Liu Caichun: "Then let's have a pot of tea."
He was still holding on to Yun Qing's chain, not daring to let go for a moment. If Yun Qing escaped midway, he would most likely have to kneel in front of the screen wall and break his legs.
Liu Caichun agreed repeatedly, but he was slightly puzzled. He originally thought that the young Taoist was holding the Demon Lord hostage, but now it seems that the relationship between the two is good, so what is going on with the chain? Nowadays, the Holy Land disciples are getting more and more strange...
Xie Yao didn't know that he had been classified into the "weird" ranks. He was worried about how to bring Yun Qing safely to the Tongtian Divine Vein. He felt that it was safest to knock Yun Qing unconscious, but if Yun Qing escaped from the Immortal Saint this time, the consequences for him might be more tragic than kneeling and breaking his leg. But keeping her awake made her even more worried. Xie Yao didn't even dare to blink now, for fear that she would use some trick to escape.
"I've been to this place before." Yun Qing said suddenly.
Xie Yao said "Ah" and suddenly remembered that he and Yun Qing met nearby: "Yes, you were with a golden dragon that time."
Xie Yao remembered that he and Yun Qing talked freely for half a day, but Yun Qing turned around and tricked him, which made him somewhat depressed. Although he knew that it was understandable for Yun Qing to do so from the standpoint of being the direct descendants of the demonic path, the relationship between the two was not only that of direct descendants of the immortal and demonic path, but also had an important relationship. Even if they were not close friends, they were still close friends, right
"I mean this store." Yun Qing shook his head, showing a bit of nostalgia, "I always feel that too many things have happened in such a short period of time, it feels like a lifetime ago..."
Xie Yao was surprised. He felt that Yun Qing was not the kind of person who was sentimental about spring and sad about autumn at all, but after thinking about it, he understood a little bit. This time, Yun Qing may not be able to return alive after going to see the sage of immortality. It is always easy for people to miss bits and pieces of the past before they die, and it is inevitable for Yun Qing to avoid this.
Liu Caichun handed over the tea and said respectfully: "You two, please take it easy."
He was about to retreat, but was stopped by the young Demon Lord.
"Seller, why don't you sit down with me for a while and talk to me?" Yun Qing looked up at him with a sincere expression.
Liu Caichun was extremely confused. He was not very familiar with this Demon Lord, so why did he find him? And judging from the other party's behavior last time, he is not someone who likes to talk at all!
At this time, Xie Yao had already poured tea for him: "Staff, please don't refuse."
Xie Yao used this reason to make sure that Yun Qing was in a good mood during the escort, so that the probability of her escaping would be smaller. Xie Yao used this reason to convince herself to endure various seemingly suspicious requests made by Yun Qing.
When Liu Caichun sat down, he finally understood what "sitting on pins and needles" meant. Now that he was being stared at by two guys with unfathomable cultivation levels, it was difficult to talk about anything. He glanced at the table awkwardly, saw the steaming teapot and said: "...Drink, drink tea, everyone drink tea!"
Xie Yao poured himself a cup of tea, and then wanted to pour a cup for Yun Qing, but she stopped him: "Thank you, I haven't eaten or drank for many years."
"Don't drink?" Xie Yao frowned. He remembered that he had tea with Yun Qing the last time he met her.
"Don't drink food from the world." Yun Qing smiled, and she also remembered the last time she had a chat with Xie Yao, "I remember that the tea I made with you came from Golden Scale Island and was watered with ambergris. .”
Liu Caichun's heart skipped a beat. The tea the Demon Lord was talking about couldn't be the jar of tea he asked Xiao Xi'er to send!
"Our store did have such tea..." he said slowly, "but it is no longer for sale."
Xie Yao is not very interested in these things. When he was young, he was also a noble son in a deep house. What good things have he not seen
"That's right!" Yun Qing seemed to suddenly remember something. She took out a small jar from her sleeve and handed it to Liu Caichun.
Liu Caichun looked at the young Taoist and then at the Demon Lord, wondering what this meant.
"I have used up the tea you gave me last time. Is this jar made of dragon scales?" Yun Qing looked at Liu Caichun with a smile.
For some reason, Liu Caichun suddenly felt cold in his hands and feet. He reluctantly nodded and said, "Yes, it is made of dragon scales."
Xie Yao also looked at the jar: "Golden dragon scales?"
Although the jar is small, it can still be seen from the texture that it is extraordinary. It has sharp edges and a brilliant golden color, and there is a vague aura of a real dragon lingering on it.
"It's like this... I am going to the Heavenly Divine Vein with this Immortal Lord, and I probably won't be able to come back. This dragon scale jar is a relic of the Golden Dragon King. I wonder if the store can give it to the dragon of the Six Paths of Yama Sect for me. Huai?" Yun Qing looked a little sentimental. She handed the tea can to Liu Caichun and said slowly, "Long Huai is the daughter of the Golden Dragon King. I have never dared to tell her about her father's death. Now I think about it. It’s clear, I’m not coming back from this trip. She will definitely blame me when she finds out that I concealed this matter in the future, so why not tell her now and leave this as a memory for her.”
Xie Yao knew that the Golden Dragon King guarded the southwest sea area for the Demonic Dao, and then perished with the Tongtian Divine Vein fleet. He did not expect that there would be such a cause and effect between him and Yun Qing.
He looked at Yun Qing and said: "My master may not necessarily take your life, so you should be more open-minded."
Even he himself didn't quite believe this.
"No need to comfort me." Yun Qing shook his head, "By the way, can you stay here for a day? The aura of this chain is too strong, and my true energy is a little restless. I will let you leave after I calm down."
Xie Yao became alert when he heard this: "If it doesn't work in one day, tomorrow morning at the latest."
"Then let's do it tomorrow morning." Yun Qing smiled, then looked at Liu Caichun, "I'd like to ask the store to prepare a quiet room."
Liu Caichun stood up covered in cold sweat and said repeatedly: "I'll get ready right now!"
He did not go to the guest room, but ran to the backyard to find Xiao Xi'er who was crying. He nervously grabbed her sleeve and said: "Xiao Xi'er, do you remember that Demon Lord who came to the store not long ago? I have I asked you to give her a jar of tea, did you do so?"
Xiao Xi'er's eyes were dim with tears, but she still remembered it immediately: "No, no, I haven't seen her since."
Liu Caichun suddenly felt that the dragon scale tea can he received from the Demon Lord became hot to his hands. Distraught, he ran into his room, carefully inspected the surrounding wards, and then opened the dragon scale jar in front of his desk.
There is really good tea inside, and there is nothing special about it no matter how you look at it.
Liu Caichun thought for a long time, fetched half a bucket of water from the well outside, and then poured all the tea leaves into it. These tea leaves turned into black flames as soon as they touched the water. The black flames rolled and entangled on the water, and finally formed into a string of words and runes.
If there was no mistake, the Demon Lord should have given him a formula.
When Liu Caichun rolled up his sleeves and took the tea can from the Demon Lord, a black mark appeared on his wrist. This mark was getting hotter and hotter. If the Demon Lord and the Immortal Lord tomorrow If he can't get the items in this formula before leaving, I'm afraid he will be burned to ashes by this brand.
