Outside the pass, Evergreen Village.
Hundreds of families, red brick and tile houses, narrow alleys and dirt roads, poplar forests and small rivers, covered with hoarfrost in winter... This is what it used to be like, far away from the world, alone and peaceful, which complements the distant and desolate Changbai Mountains.
But more than a dozen years ago, after Lady Bai established her teaching here, Changqing Village has undergone extensive construction and antique buildings, and it has become an extraordinary and eccentric paradise.
The small building is facing the water, and the red light is fascinated by the shadows.
Magnolia Zhu was like a snake, lying on the blue tiles on the roof, and Nalan Shu waited beside him, pouring wine for him one cup after another.
"What time is it?"
She lowered her head, opened her red lips slightly, grabbed the pear-blossom-white wine cup, and then rolled lazily, her neck stretched out in an arc that seduces all living beings, the crystal clear jade liquid entered her throat, and two drops of sticky liquid dripped from her lips. .
"It's past midnight."
Nalan Shu turned a blind eye to the beauty picture and poured another glass of wine.
"Where did everyone go? Why is it so quiet!"
"Those who sleep sleep, those who go home go home, those who practice practice, but there are a few people who drink and fight, and they are also drunk in the woods."
"well… "
Yulanzhu waved her hand, stopped her movement, lay back and sighed: "This life is boring, I'm just a layman, I don't think it's too deserted."
"You have already certified the immortal position, and you can also prove the god in the future, bless one side, and live forever. I don't know how many ordinary people are willing to trade with you."
"That's not interesting, you said this... Huh?"
Yulan Zhu stood up suddenly, looked at the dark night sky, and said with a smile, "Another layman is here."
As soon as the voice fell, a bright red lightly fell on the roof, "Hey, Sao Fox, why don't you drink the northwest wind here on New Year's Eve?"
Xiao Jin showed her stature, unceremoniously picked up the cup on the table, drank it all in one gulp, then trembled all over, feeling sweet and spicy.
"Hey, it's so fresh!"
She stretched her arm and shook the cup, "Little hedgehog, pour the wine!"
"Pour yourself!"
Nalan Shu rolled his eyes.
"Hey, pour me a drink!"
"I, myself, pour!"
Snapped!
Xiao Jin slapped the table and said angrily, "Is it like a word, is it like a word, does anyone talk to the ancestor like this?"
Nalan Shu didn't pay attention at all, and flung his sleeves and went down the roof.
"You wait, I'll beat you back to your original shape in a while, and carry you back to play with every day!"
Xiao Jin yelled, feeling all sorts of displeasure, Yulan Zhu got up with a smile, folded her waist, and poured a glass for herself.
Then she stopped, smashed her mouth, and asked casually: "I said, what is the relationship between you two? Sisters are not like sisters, and Lily is not like Lily."
"Shaman outside the pass, what do you think it matters? The old guys follow the traditions of their ancestors, masters and servants from one generation to the next. Strictly speaking, she should be the son of my family."
The arrival of the other party made Yulanzhu no longer lazy, and said with a smile: "You are not an ancestor in Phoenix Mountain, what are you doing in this remote place?"
"It's boring!"
"Looking for your sister Qiu."
"Pull it down, she is simply cold now."
"What about Chao Daochang?"
"Everyone is married, why should I move forward?"
"Oh, so you came to me to relieve your boredom?"
Magnolia Zhu put her arms on the table, crossed her hands, and supported a white and slender chin. When she said this, her eyes rolled, with anger and resentment, it was enough to bend any straight girl, and straighten any curvy man .
Xiao Jin also saw it hot, couldn't help pinching her face, and sighed: "You said you are a landwoman who collects incense, why are you so enchanting? Are you subduing temptation?"
"That's the way I treat you. I'm usually pure and pure."
Magnolia Zhu suddenly withdrew her posture, and instantly changed from a witch to a saint. There seemed to be a halo of light on the back of her head, all kinds of hallelujahs.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Xiao Jin was suddenly very happy, slapping the table and laughing, the boredom in her heart was relieved a lot.
Xu Shi had a smell of human fireworks on his body, and the two of them looked very speculative. Especially after the ghost, the white lady surfaced and officially established a religion. She ran here a lot, coming and going again and again, and her feelings quickly warmed up.
With a flick of her sleeves on the table, a table was immediately set up, with all kinds of delicacies and wines from all over the world, followed by two legs, a full-fledged old lady sitting on the kang, eating and saying:
"Isn't it New Year's Eve today? Oh, it's the first day of junior high... Anyway, I went home just now, my parents are fine, and so is my younger brother..."
"younger brother?"
Yulanzhu listened to her talk about family affairs for the first time, and wondered: "Your mother Guigeng?"
"Sixty! Oh, it's not a problem. She takes pills every day like eating jelly beans. She's not yet menopausal, and she's fine for a third child!"
Xiao Jin didn't take it seriously, and continued: "I'm going to go back. I feel very awkward. The family of three is happy, and I feel like an outsider. My brother is four years old, and I'm thirty-nine. Hey, you know Does it feel like this?"
"I don't understand, I have no father, no mother, no brothers and sisters, just a bouquet of flowers by my side."
"Nonsense, how did you get born without a father or a mother?"
"I heard that I was born because the great mage found a fox and bred it with a woman. Otherwise, how could I fuse the beast spirit so quickly?" Yulan Zhu laughed.
"..."
Xiao Jin choked, unable to vomit out all her complaints, because compared with the other party, her little irritability was nothing at all.
"Uh, uh... this..."
She whimpered, and could only touch the other's little hand, "My condolences are in order, so I can take care of myself, the future is bright, and the future will be bright, you know what I mean, right?"
"Clack!"
Yulanzhu covered her mouth with a coquettish smile, and said, "Okay, don't mention this. Actually, I'm very surprised that you are so anxious about this kind of thing? If Gu Zhenren and Jiang Zhenren, they wouldn't take it to heart."
"People are different, but I value love and righteousness!"
Xiao Jin paused, and said slowly: "They also value love and righteousness, but the scope is gradually narrowing. After they abandoned Phoenix Mountain, many disciples complained that the two of them had changed, but I don't think so. Cultivation is to completely release the self, and then find the one you desire most. Hey, do you know the self, the ego?"
"I don't understand."
"This is basic common sense, haven't you been to school?"
"No."
"Tsk, have you ever been in love?"
"nor."
"Wow, you're not still a virgin, are you?"
"Whether you want to talk about love or not, is it necessarily related to whether you are a virgin or not?"
"Uh, no!"
Xiao Jin hesitated, skipped the topic, and continued: "For example, my sister, she has this virtue from the beginning, but she has learned a skill, has nowhere to use it, and is bound by social rules, so she appears like an elite in the workplace. Appearance. Now it’s just peeling off the shell to reveal her true nature. And Xiao Qiu, they say she is kind and pure, but I don’t think so. When the true nature deep in my heart is released, I will become a Buddha in one step, and a demon in one step. Between. She has experienced both before she can overcome her demons and reach the state she is in today. I think how many people died when she went down the mountain to travel back then! Now that she has a heart of good and evil, has she changed? No Change, just an upgrade on that basis. And you, Qingben Jiaren, it’s a pity that people can’t help themselves in the rivers and lakes. But now it’s better, no one can force you, and you can be yourself freely.”
"..."
Magnolia Pearl blinked, as if it could wring out water, sticking to the opponent's body, and said with a smile: "What about you?"
"Me? I'm easy to say, just this body..."
Xiao Jin raised her hand, and waved it down again, "It's the same as it was when it came here, and it's still the same as when it left, and it hasn't changed!"
"Yo, I think you're at the highest level."
Magnolia Pearl became softer, and said again: "Hey, what about Gu Zhenren, why didn't you say anything?"
"He, I can't see through it! He is the protagonist, born with Dao seeds, and I just wash the feet of the female No. 3, how can I judge easily?"
"Hahaha!"
Yulanzhu also bent over the desk and laughed, clapping her hands and saying, "Jinjin, Jinjin, you are so cute!"
The two couldn't stop chatting, eating, drinking, talking and laughing, and finally lay on the roof together, closing their eyes and listening to the wind, the flowers and plants swaying.
"I, no matter how high my cultivation base is, I can't leave the world of mortals. I can't help it. My temperament is like this."
"I'm similar. I used to always think about becoming an immortal, but now I find it boring. If it's so deserted, even if you give me a real god, I don't like it."
"This is too false, you want to do it if you are a real god, so what are you afraid of when you are cold?"
Xiao Jin tilted her head, was close at hand, breathed warmly, and said, "By the way, my brother-in-law has made the two factions fight, is your subordinate going?"
"Don't dare, I don't have anyone under my command."
Magnolia beads cannot pass on shamanic witchcraft, and are forbidden to accept disciples. Here are all disciples of Phoenix Mountain, come here to listen to them. Although she has a high status, she is actually quite embarrassing.
"..."
Xiao Jin blinked, as if thinking of something, she jumped up suddenly, "Come on, let me show you a treasure!"
"do what?"
Magnolia Pearl was pulled by her, holding small hands, and ran all the way to the depths of the dense forest. I saw her pinch a magic spell and drink it in her mouth.
"call!"
In an instant, the dark wind blew up, the branches and leaves rustled, and an angry and manic breath filled the forest. The clouds and smoke passed by, showing an extremely fierce and huge rampant ghost.
This rampant ghost is more than three feet tall, wearing armor, holding a big gun, with faintly visible facial features, surrounded by red aura, obviously at the level of a general, far surpassing ordinary rampant soldiers.
Xiao Jin made another pinch, and waved again.
call! After the dark wind passed, a short, lazy, weird old man with a beard appeared. Ragged clothes and bare feet, his facial features are much clearer than that of a general, but his momentum is far from enough, like a weak chicken.
"This is the rampant general and Wutongshen I received. I wanted to give it to Xiaoqiu, but now I give it to you."
Xiao Jin waved her hand, stopped the other party's conversation, and said: "The rampant general can command the army and recruit by himself, you can save a lot of trouble. Wutongshen's strength is low, but he is a good helper for the prime minister. You can't pass the shaman Witchcraft, but you can find some subordinates in the underworld, brother-in-law will definitely grant you a god in the future, it’s too shabby, I lose face!"
"..."
Magnolia Zhu looked at her and remained silent for a while.
It's not that she didn't think about it, but she was too cautious and recruited troops without authorization, fearing that it would cause Phoenix Mountain to misunderstand. Since Xiao Jin took the initiative to help, she was not hypocritical, "Thank you."
"Okay, I should go too."
Xiao Jin looked at the morning light emerging from the sky, her figure flickered, her red clothes fluttering, "See you in Kunlun!"
