Encountering a Snake

Chapter 15: Concubine

Views: NaN

The matter of getting married is a big event. Adding people to the house and adding to the family tree must always be serious and lively. If you marry a concubine, it's another matter. Carried in a small sedan chair from the side door, there is no need to worship the heaven and earth parents. The bride in pink clothes is sent into the room.

Shen Qingxuan was drinking with his family members in the living room when he took the concubine, and since it was his birthday, he had to drink a few more glasses with his relatives, and ate a bowl of longevity noodles made by his mother, and drank the soup. Niang stood behind Shen's mother, refilling wine for everyone from time to time. After two hours after a meal, she went to the garden to listen to the opera.

Shen Qingxuan was in good spirits, after listening to the play, he went for a swim in the garden, asked the servant to pick some melons and fruits from the trees, held them in his arms, ate and sobered up while admiring the moon.

After eating half of a fruit, Shen Qingxuan remembered that today he was taking a concubine by himself.

Seeing the excitement of the day, I forgot about it.

Shen's mother also ate two more glasses, and went back to the room early to rest, so drunk, she never remembered to remind, maybe she never thought of the consummation of the house at all, and she needed to be reminded by her mother.

Only then did Shen Qingxuan throw away the fruit core, and let the boy push him towards his courtyard.

The wooden wheeled cart was halfway along the wind and fire wall, when suddenly there was a yell from outside the wall, the clear and crisp voice was full of heroic spirit: "You old monster, return the things to me!"

Shen Qingxuan was taken aback, raised his hand to signal to stop, and listened carefully to the movement outside the wall, only to hear that heroic male voice again, shouting righteously: "Why do you say that it is yours? It was passed down to me by my master. What you said is yours is yours? This is the first time I have seen such an unreasonable guy in my life!"

Shen Qingxuan was wondering whether the old demon in this mouth could be Yi Mo, when a crisp sound of weapons colliding pierced the air and reached the eardrums. Shen Qingxuan's heart tightened, and he couldn't care less about rushing back to the consummation room, so he asked someone to push him along the wall of wind and fire, and opened the door to wait and see.

Shenjiayuanzi covers an area of more than ten miles, and there is a market outside the wall. It was already late, and there were not many pedestrians and vendors on the street. The boys came out with lanterns to protect his side, and watched the fun.

Shen Qingxuan looked at it by the light of a lantern and candle, and saw a young Taoist standing not far away, with a bronze mirror with a yin-yang fish pattern hanging on his chest, holding a long sword in his hand, and the blade of the sword was pointing aggressively at another person's chest.

That person was Yimo.

But he didn't know why he appeared here, and he got entangled with this Taoist priest who came out of nowhere.

Shen Qingxuan winked, and immediately a clever young man stepped forward, made a bow and laughed, and smoothed things over: "You two gentlemen, what are you doing? If you want to fight, go far away. Don't fight at Shen's house." Fighting in front of the door, if someone is killed, wouldn't it cause trouble for the government? Besides, there is an official's house not far away, so you are not afraid of being taken away?"

Shen Qingxuan raised his eyebrows, thinking that he could speak well, but it's a pity that these two are not afraid of things. The boy's eyesight still needs to be honed.

The Taoist saw Shen Qingxuan who was sitting on the chair, he was stunned for a moment, put away his sword, trotted all the way over with a green head, and asked carelessly: "Are you the master of this mansion?"

Shen Qingxuan naturally responded, and the servant next to him replied on behalf of the master: "This is my young master."

"Oh, you are the young master of the Shen family?" The Taoist looked about eighteen or nineteen years old, and his young and vigorous face was a little silly. Can sit up, paralyzed is not bad."

Shen Qingxuan curled his lips, and glanced at Yi Mo who was standing far away from the corner of his eyes, meaning who do you think you have offended

Shen Qingxuan was dissatisfied in his heart, but still smiled at the Taoist, and gestured to the boy, who hurriedly bowed down and said: "My young master means to invite you two to drink tea at the mansion, if there is something in the middle Misunderstanding, sit down and have a good talk, don’t fight and kill on the street.” At the end, the servant added: “Today is my young master’s birthday, it’s a big day, and I married another aunt, how about you Let go of your grievances and come in for a glass of wedding wine."

"Hey, what's your birthday?" The young Taoist was stunned for a moment, he grabbed the head portrait because he was a little shy because of his rashness before, and he thought of something, he gave Yi Mo a bitter look, then turned his face and said to Shen Qingxuan: "Alright, I heard that the Shen family has always been kind. Since today is the young master's happy day, I don't want to do such a bad thing. Hey," he yelled at Yi Mo, "I heard that the Shen family has always been reasonable. De, why don't you ask them to judge the grievances between you and me, so as to be fair. You can save yourself, okay?"

Yi Mo stood there, thinking about something, then walked over and nodded.

The Taoist said to Shen Qingxuan again: "Then Mr. Lao Shen will do us justice."

Shen Qingxuan couldn't help but laugh, fair? To do justice for him and Yimo? The scale is inherently tilted, so there is no justice. But still nodded, made a gesture to invite the two to enter the mansion.

The boy pushed him to go ahead, and someone behind him whispered to the Taoist, why did you call him an old monster? He is obviously a person of extraordinary temperament.

The Taoist said bitterly: "What kind of person is an old monster!" Although he said it firmly, but because of his emotions, no one would believe his words.

Shen Qingxuan invited the two of them to his own courtyard, set up some melon and fruit snacks in the hexagonal gazebo, served a pot of hot wine, and set up a banquet under the moonlight.

Shen Qingxuan sat in the main seat, Yi Mo and the Taoist sat face to face, the Taoist raised his eyes and gave him a hard look from time to time, but Yi Mo's face was always calm and calm, showing no emotion.

Shen Qingxuan ordered the servant to set things up and then retreated. He poured wine into the cups in front of the two of them. Do it first as a respect, and the two of them also drank the wine. After a round, Shen Qingxuan made a gesture of invitation, calling the The Taoist speaks.

"My surname is Xu, Xu Mingshi, a Taoist priest of Qingyun Temple in Qingyun Mountain." After a brief introduction, Xu Mingshi talked about his grievances with Yi Mo, but it was because Yi Mo went down the mountain to take the treasure of his Taoist temple a few days ago, so he went down the mountain all the way. Come on, I just found Yimo here a month ago.

Xu Shiming pointed at Yi Mo, and spoke firmly to Shen Qingxuan: "Don't look at him as a human being at this time, but he is actually a monster, and he is the kind of monster who is used to stealing!"

Shen Qingxuan nodded seriously when he heard the words, then couldn't help lowering his head, laughing silently.

"Master Shen, don't you believe me?" Seeing him smiling, Xu Shiming suddenly felt humiliated, and his face flushed with anger.

Shen Qingxuan bit his lips, thought for a while before speaking: "Since he is a demon, it's fine if you don't accept him, why did you bring me here and ask me to give him justice? You are not afraid that he will be evil and harm you." I am a just man?"

Xu Shiming stared at him stupidly for a while, then shouted "Ah", "You can talk? Don't everyone say you are dumb?"

"It was recovered not long ago, they don't know that's all." Shen Qingxuan replied lightly, raised his eyebrows, and said gently: "I want to give my family a surprise, and I hope Taoist priests don't spread the word."

Xu Mingshi was still in a daze, but nodded quickly: "That's it."

"Well," Shen Qingxuan smiled with crooked eyebrows, regaining control of the topic: "What did you just say?"

"Harming people, oh, hurting people... No, although this monster is a monster, he doesn't have any monster aura. It seems that he is about to cultivate into a fairy, so he won't harm people."

"Really?" Shen Qingxuan was still smiling, "You took him, took your treasure, and then let him go." After a short pause, he said again: "Could it be that you are too weak to take him in?"

Xu Shiming grew up in a Taoist temple, and his mind was straight and simple, so he couldn't hear the tricks in Shen Qingxuan's words, and he didn't feel that Shen Qingxuan was slandering him, so he hurriedly said: "When it comes to ordinary skills, I really can't accept it." He, but I have the magic weapon left by my ancestor, as long as I use it, I will definitely be able to accept him, but... "

"Just what?"

"It just melted him... to ashes. I am a cultivator, all beings are equal, and he is not a monster that harms people, and I don't want to use..." At this point, Xu Mingshi glanced at Yi Mo, who was sitting quietly , and said in the tone of a benefactor: "Hey, you old monster, return the things to me, or I will make you lose your soul and never be reborn forever!"

He only cared about his own self-satisfaction, but he didn't notice that Shen Qingxuan's face was also condensed, and he sat there quietly, motionless.

Yi Mo finally spoke, and said a sentence concisely: "It's mine, and it's returned to its original owner."

"Nonsense, my master clearly said that it was a precious silk garment given to him by someone else, invulnerable to swords and guns, gods and ghosts." Xu Mingshi defended, "my master has taken in so many demons and ghosts who are haunting the world while wearing that clothes, why do you say that? That's yours?!"

"That's mine." Yi Mo still said the same thing.

Shen Qingxuan interrupted the entanglement between the two, and asked, "What is that?"

"Baoyi!"

"Snake slough."

The two spoke at the same time, but they were completely different.

After Shen Qingxuan was stunned, he suddenly understood that the snake slough that Yi Mo went down the mountain to find a few days ago, was in this view of people, and it was also the treasure of his view.

"You snake demon, talking nonsense!" Xu Mingshi was furious.

"No nonsense," Yi Mo said indifferently: "Three hundred years ago, I was too weak when I shed my skin. I didn't check the snake's slough for a while and it was stolen. I don't know how it fell into your view. It's ridiculous that your master, wearing a monster's skin The skin bag is used to kill monsters. If not, I will not take this thing back. If it is really righteous and virtuous, so what if I give it to you?"

"Nonsense, what's wrong with my master killing demons!"

"Humans have human nature, monsters have their own way, demons have their own way, and gods have their own way, and they complement each other." Yi Mo played with the carved silver cup in his hand, without raising his head, and said casually: "Your master claims to kill demons Eliminating demons is actually killing indiscriminately, regardless of good or evil. Such behavior is against humanity. It breaks the rules of the demon way, and also breaks the rules of humanity. Therefore, the life span of the yang is extremely short. Killed, but you respect him, do you want to imitate him?" The last sentence, although the tone is still understated, has hidden murderous intentions.

"So what if you follow him?" As if being provoked, Xu Mingshi jumped up.

"Except for you." Yi Mo said quietly.

The sound of the blade being unsheathed suddenly resounded, disturbing the cleanliness of the whole garden.

"Today I will get rid of you monster!"

Shen Qingxuan remained silent, and retreated while controlling the wheelchair, watching the two wrestle together again.

Yi Mo was bare-handed, and Xu Mingshi's sword was dazzling, but he still couldn't get close to him. The figures of the two were blurred. The grass and trees in the courtyard were swept away by the sword energy, and they all lay down.

But no one came out, not even the servants watching the excitement. Shen Qingxuan knew that Yi Mo must have cast a spell to isolate the world in the garden from the outside world, so he was relieved, sat on the chair and watched with gusto.

After dozens of rounds, Xu Mingshi was at a disadvantage, he lost his long sword, his hair was disheveled, and he looked embarrassed. Yi Mo was still leisurely and quiet, as if he was just playing a monkey show.

The justice in Xu Shiming's heart could not match the youth's blood in the end, he reached out his hand and took out something from his pocket in anger, put one hand in the palm of his hand, and with the other hand he performed a few hand strikes, he closed his eyes and muttered words, all of which were spells.

Yi Mo stopped, looked at the thing in his hand and frowned slightly, Shen Qingxuan's expression of enjoying the play finally changed.

Ever since he learned from Xu Mingshi that there is indeed a magic weapon that can restrain Yi Mo, he has been thinking about how to destroy this thing. Not for anything else, just because Yi Mo treats him well, not to mention that Yi Mo is a good demon, even if he is a demon, killing people and bloodthirsty, he will protect him. There are so many people in this world, but only these few are good to him, the less they are, the more we should cherish them. Even if you go against the heavens and virtues, you don't hesitate, otherwise, if you live for the rest of your life, you won't even be able to protect those you want to protect. What's the use of such a life? !

In the blink of an eye, Shen Qingxuan's body sank, he leaned over the wheelchair, and leaned back. Behind him was a lotus pond with floating lotus leaves and sparkling water. He shouted: "Taoist, save me!"

Just fell into the pool.

His scream was extremely sharp, and the sound shook the sky. The brighter and brighter golden light in Xu Mingshi's hand suddenly stopped and went out instantly, and he rushed towards Shen Qingxuan without thinking.

As soon as Xu Mingshi grabbed Shen Qingxuan's hand, at this moment, the face that had just emerged from the water in the pool smiled at him, the smile was very cunning and innocent, and then Xu Mingshi felt a blunt feeling in the back of his head Pain came, and the last thing he saw in his memory was Shen Qingxuan's smiling face and the stones in his hands.

Yi Mo cast a spell to fish the two of them out of the lotus pond. Shen Qingxuan coughed twice, and as soon as he turned over, he hurriedly pulled out the small copper-colored cauldron from the palm of Xu Mingshi's other hand. Drenched, sat up while leaning on the edge of the lotus pond, threw the small cauldron to Yi Mo: "Put it away."

Yi Mo caught the tripod, looked at it in his hand, and then put it back into his sleeve, with his usual expression, "It was a good show."

"Bah." Shen Qingxuan spat at him, "You still don't want to send me back to change clothes?" He said again: "You solved the spell, I'm going to call someone, I'll take care of the rest."

Yi Mo walked over, picked up the man horizontally, and walked towards the small nanmu building in the courtyard.

Shen Qingxuan hooked his neck with one hand, and wiped the water on his face with the other. After wiping two handfuls, he suddenly thought of it and said: "Quickly let me down, I will take a concubine tonight. It looks like you want to take a concubine." I am a concubine."

Yi Mo lowered his head, stopped and looked at the person in his arms, and finally said: "I have never seen such a wet concubine who smells like mud."

Shen Qingxuan became furious, and pinched his shoulder, "I don't think you're a cold and cold worm, but you still hate me. Why, you judge me so much, do you want to marry me? You want to marry me , I will withdraw from next year's marriage, three matchmakers and six hired Feng Guanxia will prepare it for you and marry you."

Yi Mo was silent for a moment, then said: "You should have been dumb for so many years."

Shen Qingxuan snorted, and Yi Mo said again: "It's nothing, I've already put the person in your room to sleep. You can rest assured."

The two were talking, and when they returned to the building, Shen Qingxuan felt relieved when he saw that the newly-acquired concubine's room was really crooked on the bed. Instructing Yi Mo to get some clothes to change, he remembered and asked, "Why are you here tonight?"

"Come to give a gift." Yi Mo watched him take off his clothes, revealing his thin pale chest, "Your birthday should be a gift."

"What for? Bring it. Well... It's so cold."

Shen Qingxuan unbuttoned his trousers, struggled to pull them down, and asked someone to grasp his waist, the cold palm made him unable to move for an instant. The words also stopped, and the ears turned red, "What are you doing? I soaked in cold water tonight and married a concubine. I don't want to spend weddings with you."

"What I gave was the wedding candle." Yi Mo knelt down, retreated his drenched trousers to his ankles, and rubbed his palm on his thin calf for a moment. Seeing that Shen Qingxuan's ears were getting redder, he finally Let go of his hands, and solemnly remove the shoes and socks for him, wipe off the water droplets on his body, and put on the clothes again, but it is inevitable that he will touch Shen Qingxuan's skin during the movement, and even touch Shen Qingxuan's skin intentionally or unintentionally when putting on his underwear. Between Shen Qingxuan's legs, Shen Qingxuan's waist trembled, his face turned completely red.

But with his eyes wide open, he watched his hands swimming on his body, his bony fingers were slender and white, he twisted up the clothes one by one and put them on his body, the fresh breath of grass and trees erupted on the side of his neck, itching unbearably wet, It was obviously a simple action, but it was extremely provocative. After a while, Shen Qingxuan's lower abdomen was already hot, and he stood upright tremblingly.

As if nothing had happened, Yi Mo got up after getting him dressed, took out a small sandalwood box, the palm-sized long box was engraved with simple and simple patterns, and he didn't know what was in the box, and handed it to the red-faced Shen Qingxuan , "It was originally a birthday gift for you, but I didn't know you were taking a concubine tonight."

Shen Qingxuan was short of breath, reached out to take it, and asked in a low voice: "What is it?"

"Open it and see."

Shen Qingxuan studied the box in his hand for a while, then quickly pushed open the lid, a scent of flowers came over his face, the lavender paste in the box filled the box to the brim, like a box of purple tofu, Shen Qingxuan looked at it After a long time, I dipped a little bit with my fingertips and smelled it, but I didn't know what it was.

I had to ask: "What is this? What to eat?"

Something seemed to flash in Yi Mo's eyes, he was silent for a moment, and then said: "For external use, not for internal use."

"Healing? It's not like that. It's so fragrant, it's greasy like grease." Shen Qingxuan muttered, but still couldn't figure it out.

Yi Mo said again, "It was intended to celebrate your birthday, and it was for you."

Shen Qingxuan was dumbfounded, what he said was too serious, without any clue, but inexplicably, there was an ambiguous taste in these words, Shen Qingxuan suddenly realized, closed the box with a "slap", and threw it aside , "Is anyone using this thing as a birthday gift? No shame!"

"I said it was originally a gift." Yi Mo walked over, bent down and gradually approached, the two of them faced each other, their chests were like sticking together, and said like they were rubbing together: "You know that gifts are not only about this, but also about cooperation." 'tools'."

Shen Qingxuan only felt a "boom" in his head, this time even his neck was blushing, his eyes dodged and he didn't dare to look at him, he just leaned back and scolded angrily and ashamedly, "You bad snake! You, I shouldn't help you tonight, it's best to let that Taoist take you, a viper!"

Yi Mo still looked like that, the old god was there, looked at him for a moment, then suddenly got up and said, "I'm leaving."

"Huh?" Shen Qingxuan didn't react.

Yi Mo stretched out his hand without saying a word, and swiped his fingertips towards his palm, blood gushed out immediately, Shen Qingxuan was startled, before he had time to speak, he saw that the blood did not flow down the palm lines, but condensed on the wound There, it gradually condensed into beads, the size of a projectile, flashing red light, and formed a solid body.

Later, Yi Mo picked up the blood bead, took Shen Qingxuan's hand in one hand, put it into his palm, and said lightly: "If you still want to make a promise with your body, you can apply that ointment yourself and use this to call me."

Shen Qingxuan blushed again, and wanted to retort that someone was going to wipe that thing by himself and wait for you... When he looked up, the person had already disappeared.

Only the red bead in his hand was emitting a faint bloody light.
