"You asked me to marry a mortal." Zhao Xidan's sharp voice fell suddenly, "Where are the rest of the clan? Where are my senior brothers?"
Patriarch Zhao avoided her sight unconsciously, and murmured, "No one will be a mortal forever..."
Indeed—that is, the lifespan of cats and dogs is not long enough. If they can live to be fifty or sixty years old, feed Bailing every day regardless of the cost, and take elixir to feed them, they may be able to enter the Tao before being killed by erysipelas.
Looking at her strange father, Zhao Yudan suddenly thought in a wild way: the lifespan of the turtle is so long, I don't know if anyone has fed it, let's see how much the so-called "inner sect" disciples of Dongheng Sanyue are worth.
"To enter the Tianji Pavilion, you have to pass three rounds of exams. I didn't, because I was the third person in the Qianxiu Temple to open the spiritual orifice, and the governor of Jinping Tianji Pavilion personally approved the exemption." Tanfeng will not accept people from our family, but Master Duanrui... Princess Duanrui said in person when she came to give a lecture that if I can find the Dao Heart, Bitanfeng can give me the guidance order, am I not good enough? ?”
"Our Dandan naturally..."
"Then why do you think I can't protect the family by myself, why not sell it to Zhang 'bing' at a high price in exchange for a copy of the Sanyue Introduction Post!"
"Xiaodan," the patriarch shouted with a pale face, "presumptuous!"
Zhao Xidan stared at him with his neck straightened.
Patriarch Zhao had so many things to make up his mind about, and he was so overwhelmed that he lost the patience to talk to his daughter who couldn't make sense.
If their family was still in Dawan, and they were still in full swing, no one would care about what she loved, no one would care about her, they would spoil her anyway, but is the situation the same now? If they can't take root in Xichu as soon as possible, the family wealth that their ancestors have blessed and accumulated for hundreds of generations will immediately become "the crime of carrying jade"!
The young man's bones are lighter than paper, but he can really forget his last name if he is a little bit sharper among the three of his peers, and if he is given a few polite compliments. Also "bless the family", what kind of thing is this when the upper lip touches the lower lip? Don't talk about her, does Princess Duanrui of Xuanyin Mountain dare to say such a thing? A group of masters ascending spirits, maybe they are Feiqiongfeng Zhixiugan—one bachelor, the whole family is not hungry when one person is full, and they can boast freely.
The Zhao family fell because of the cicada ancestor's madness. Unless there is another cicada ancestor, it will be useless. When she sheds the cicada, it will be difficult to say whether there will be any cicadas in the world.
"Marriage is the order of your parents. How can you speak? Your Lingyin and Gengtie have been sent to Dongheng by the Yu family. This matter has been agreed between the father and the elders of the clan. If you have nothing to do recently Don't go out and wander around, tomorrow I will ask your mother to arrange for someone to come and teach you the family history and rules of Chu Wen and Xiang's family."
Zhao Xidan's eyes turned from anger to resentment, and he said word by word: "It's a big deal, I'll return this flesh and blood to you."
Patriarch Zhao ignored her little threat, sneered, turned and left.
The girl is so used to not knowing the heights of the sky and the earth, she is a bit spoiled.
A blood vessel in Zhao Xidan's brain was jumping "chug". She raised her sword and wanted to rush out, but was stopped by two senior brothers who used to be in Tianji Pavilion.
According to Xuanyin's rules, he is called "senior brother". In fact, his family is older than her father in the clan. Among them, one of them has already built a foundation on the way to the west, a big realm, and suppressing her is just a matter of raising your hand.
"Dandan, don't go into a dead end," the foundation-building cultivator, who has practiced for a hundred years, has a much more peaceful mood than ordinary people, and while drawing a ban in front of Zhao Dandan's room without hesitation, he persuaded her kindly, "You also count in this." As for the Sanyue Inner Sect, if you can continue to practice in the Inner Sect in the future, wouldn’t it be better than being in the Tianji Pavilion? Since we have a shortcut, why do we have to look far away, don’t you think?”
His gentle attitude gave Zhao Xiedan the illusion that he could discuss it, so Miss Zhao begged bitterly: "Brother, why do we need to cling to these messy offshoots of the Xiang family? Can't we just guard our own secret realm? Please, Tell my father, I will practice hard in the future, day and night... "
That Zhuji waved his hand, and said with a smile as usual: "What are you talking about, our Dandan is not a hard-working person."
Zhao Xiaodan was stunned suddenly.
When she first entered the Tianji Pavilion, Dawan was in turmoil, evil spirits with malicious intentions and ordinary people who were deceived by the evil spirits were everywhere, and the brothers were consuming bags of wound medicine and spirit stones, and the Tianji Pavilion was short of manpower.
Everyone was in a panic, only she was protected by her seniors.
At that time, they used this tone to say, "That place is dirty, don't let Dandan go" "The troublemaker is very tricky, don't call her this kind of dirty work"...
It turns out that there is no love for no reason in the world. Being a petite flower enjoys the care, and those who take care of her have a debt in their hearts. When the time comes, they have to pay.
With a flick of his fingers, a pure heart talisman and a drowsy talisman flew into the center of Zhao Xidan's eyebrows with a snap of his fingers, and he knocked her down involuntarily, and took away her spirit stone and sword. He waved his hand very gently, and the wind swept up Zhao Xidan, and sent her back to her room properly. After sweeping her room thoughtfully, the incense burner and ice cage were automatically lit and the lid was lifted, and even the sound of the chiming bell was faint. three points.
Then he added another restriction on the outside to ensure that the people inside would not be able to fly, and made a "quiet" gesture to the boy next to him who came to deliver things to the eldest lady.
"Don't give her the spirit stone, she won't need it for the time being," that Ji Ji said in a low voice, like someone's dream, "give the fruit to the servant girl, and let someone use ice to fill it, this ghost It's too hot in place."
The dumb boy—Xu Rucheng came back to his senses, hurriedly responded, and ran away looking at his nose, nose, nose, and mouth, sighing in his heart, feeling that this episode matched the plot of the drama he watched when he was a child, and the trouble for a long time was not only in the drama The eldest lady of the Tianji Pavilion is not free, and the eldest lady of the Tianji Pavilion is not free either. The three words "eldest lady" are not good words.
At this time, Tai Sui's voice sounded in his ears without warning: "The Zhao family is quite discerning."
Xu Rucheng was expressionless: The unexpected guest came again.
Dawan sent them a mysterious piece of wood, the size of a copper coin, which could not be teleported with anything. It was personally sent across the river by a special person. If blood was dripped on it, they could communicate with a mysterious "" senior". It is also possible to contact other colleagues with wood chips through this senior when it is inconvenient to use the spiritual energy—of course, it can only be used abroad.
The pieces of wood were limited, and they were only given to a few managers. When Xu Rucheng first got them, he felt very honored. He bathed and changed his clothes, and recited the prepared self-introduction several times before bleeding. His familiar voice with pain in his head: "If you dawdle any longer, I'll almost fall asleep. Are you surprised, Xu Xiangxiang?"
Xu Rucheng was not surprised, he was stunned, and felt that Tianling Gai was split by a thunderbolt on the spot: Why is the senior who has been waiting for a long time this bad wood spirit who tricked him into swearing? The Lord and Mr. Bai were also bewildered by him!
He watched helplessly that his colleagues were all fascinated by this evil god, and privately said how reliable the senior code-named "Tai Sui" was, "Although he is reticent, he answers all questions and is unpredictable"... God damn it "Little words and few words are unpredictable"!
This vicious, smoldering evil god gave him 800 nicknames, and he would come to entertain him whenever he was free, and would only show up at various awkward times. This time, he vividly tempered a face that could keep his expression on everything he heard.
Xu Rucheng took a deep breath to adjust his mentality, and asked, "What vision do you have?"
"I've fallen in love with the Yu family," Xi Ping said. "To tell you the truth, I've also fallen in love with their family."
Xu Ru intentionally said: What's the matter, you also want to marry the grandson of Emperor Bing
Xi Ping sighed: "Thirty percent of the country's gold-plated moon, plus elixir, how much money do you think their family has?"
The gold-melting furnace for smelting moongold needs spiritual stones, and the treasury will allocate funds, which is a lot of tricks; and the elixir has to be sold to the fairy mountains. The medicinal materials on the black market are blood money.
But having more money is another aspect. Those who can play with moongold and elixir, their contacts in Dongheng Sanyue are definitely beyond ordinary people's imagination.
Zhao Xiedan's father was right. If the Yu family hadn't felt inferior and had no background, and always wanted to find someone with "noble blood" to decorate their appearance, the Zhao family would have really climbed the ranks of this "remote" nouveau riche.
Xu Rucheng didn't keep up with his scrambling brains, and only said: "How much money is a humiliation, that's a human walk in the majestic Tianji Pavilion... I said senior, she will wake up in a while, don't think about it and really commit suicide, right?"
Xi Ping said nonchalantly: "That's not the case, you didn't hear her say that you need to 'do a good job of protecting the family'."
If she speaks harshly again, as long as she hasn't started the idea of "severing kindness and justice", anger is nothing more than not getting the favor she deserves, acting like a spoiled child.
Can acting like a baby have blood
Xi Ping changed his voice: "But the Zhao family sells girls like this, it's really ugly."
Xu Rucheng feels that although this Tai Sui has almost no character, he can occasionally say a few fair words: "I heard that there is no test to enter the Tianji Pavilion, alas, the Qianxiu Temple is held every ten years, and the number of people who can enter the Tianji Pavilion without the test is counted." Come here, it's a pity. I think her mortal parents are in their prime, and she must not be very old. She can't be blamed for the crimes committed by the Zhao family, but let a little girl bear the fruit of their suffering."
"That's right, what do you call this?" Xi Ping echoed him pompously, and his tone softened, "Hero, I have an idea that can save the beauty from fire and water, do you want to try it?"
Xu Rucheng: "..."
He had a premonition.
When Zhao Xidan woke up, it was already dark.
The autumn tigers in the state of Chu are ferocious, and as August approaches, the cicadas are still clamoring loudly. However, the heat did not reach her small courtyard at all. Her place is warm in winter and cool in summer, extremely comfortable, like a golden cage.
She was a bird in a cage, a flower in a pot, and they took away her sword and spirit stone.
Banxian doesn't have spirit stones, so drawing a talisman can only draw spirit energy from the surrounding environment, no matter what the effect is, this is the secret realm of the Zhao family, and when her spirit energy moves, the secret realm will immediately notify everyone.
She couldn't move an inch.
At this time, with a "squeak", her personal maid came in without making a sound, and put the iced fruit plate in her hand—that "girl" somehow put her chest on her chest and lowered her head, and she walked smoothly when she put the fruit plate. "Boom", very clumsy.
Fortunately, the eldest lady was out of her mind and didn't notice.
Zhao Xidan said with a blank expression: "They asked you to come and water and feed me?"
The "little girl", who was usually extremely clever, was startled by her sudden sound, and she muttered silently.
Zhao Xidan didn't bother to share knowledge with the servants, so he sneered: "Go out."
"Girl" didn't move.
Zhao Xidan turned his head impatiently: "I said let you go out..."
Seeing "Girl" suddenly step forward, she took out a bag of spirit stones from her sleeve: "Miss, run away!"
Zhao Xiaodan was stunned.
"Girl" said: "I secretly hid the spirit stone, it's enough for you. Miss, I know your ambition, why give in for them? Run!"
Her voice was high-pitched and thin, and she spoke so quickly that she lost her tune. Zhao Yudan couldn't hear clearly: "Slow down...slow down, Xiuyu, what's wrong with your voice?"
At the same time, Xi Ping whispered in the ear of Xu Rucheng who was pretending to be a girl: "If you keep talking with your throat shut, I'll curse you that you won't be able to change back."
Xu Rucheng: "..."
Life is hard.
Zhao Yudan opened the bag of spirit stones, and saw that Bai Ling was well-equipped with green mines, and could handle various occasions, and he was quite thoughtful.
The eldest lady couldn't help but feel sour: the nine princesses in Qianxiu Temple have to comb their hair by themselves, she is used to it, and she doesn't need someone to take care of her when she goes home. Banxian, who has nothing to say to these little girls who have never left the deep house compound, has always been a good service but not close master.
She never expected that the little girl she had never seen before would take such a big risk for her.
However, Zhao Yudan was silent for a moment, and still pressed the Lingshi pocket into her bosom. She looked up at the small yard that trapped her, and said with a wry smile: "Good girl, thank you very much, but you stole another room for me." Lingshi, I can't break through the restriction of Senior Brother Establishing the Foundation at the door, let alone entering and exiting the secret realm without alarming others."
"I heard that if the inscriptions of the immortals are placed carelessly, they may explode. There are many inscriptions inside and outside our house. Miss, look." He opened his hand, and in his palm was a third-class inscription he had picked out from the wall, "When the courtyard catches fire, you can run around. Our servants usually have special warrants when they come in and out. You can get out of the secret place with it. .”
Zhao Xidan jumped up because of his surprise: "Put it down quickly, the inscription is for fun? You don't want to die!"
"Hey," Xu Rucheng said like a silly girl, "it's okay to pick it off, I've been lucky since I was a child."
Zhao Haodan said seriously: "I've only learned superficially about inscriptions, and if I don't use them well, it will harm others and myself—there was a fellow classmate in Qianxiu Temple back then, who was originally a genius who opened the spiritual aperture in our class. Something went wrong with the inscription, if it wasn't for the presence of a senior from the inner sect, half of the valley in Qianxiu Temple would have been razed to the ground with just one inscription—where did you get that word from?"
Xi Ping was stunned for a moment by the unexpected blow of the pot, and thought to himself, fart, that is an ordinary fire-avoiding inscription, Su must not be a human being, and Liang Chen's shit is also on his head!
After hearing this, Xu Rucheng said to Xi Ping with emotion: "Tsk, why are there such brats who haven't been beaten since childhood?"
Xi Ping: "..."
Xu Dasha, you are finished.
"What nonsense," the suddenly moody evil god said coldly in Xu Rucheng's ear, "do it!"
Xu Rucheng panicked artificially, and turned the inscription back and forth as if holding a hot potato: "Then... what should I do... Miss, I..."
"In desperation", he threw the inscription out suddenly, covered his ears and knelt down on the spot.
Hearing that this thing can blow up half a valley, someone's first reaction was not to put it down lightly, but to raise his hand and throw it out. Zhao Haodan never expected that there are such fools who think differently from ordinary people in the world, so he was caught off guard: "No way!" !"
However, it was too late.
Although Xu Rucheng and Xi Ping knew little about the inscriptions, there was His Highness Zhuang Wang behind the Reincarnation Wood, who could even disassemble the seal of Elder Cicada, not to mention the third-class inscriptions in Zhao's small courtyard
Xi Ping had already ordered Xu Rucheng to change the position of the inscriptions in the courtyard according to his instructions, and this smashing was like setting fire to the company camp. A fire dragon suddenly rose in the courtyard of Zhao Yudan, but it didn't even ring the wind chimes hanging in the house, roaring Then rushed to the prohibition of building a foundation at the door.
Xu Rucheng: "Hey, miss, look, it exploded, I'm really lucky!"
Zhao Xidan: "..."
Xu Rucheng quickly handed her the prepared guard clothes and a token engraved with inscriptions on entry and exit: "Quick, stop dawdling!"
No matter how slow Zhao Yaodan reacted at this time, she knew that something was wrong with the maid, but the voices outside had already started, and the inspiration told her that the senior brothers had already arrived.
In the nick of time, she didn't have time to think so much, and followed her own heart.
Xu Rucheng felt that he had done a great thing. In the chaos, he secretly escorted Miss Zhao out, and asked Xi Ping, "Senior, what's next?"
"Change your face." Xi Ping said calmly.
Xu Rucheng: "Who should I replace?"
"Bride-to-be."
