Jiang Lin knew that Yan Chixia was coming.
Although A Yu is straightforward, she is not stupid. On the first day Yan Chixia came, she sent a message to Jiang Lin.
During the time Yan Chixia lived in Qingshui County, Jiang Lin had been keeping an eye on his movements.
Fortunately, he was just observing and didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Otherwise, if he dared to do something bad...
Jiang Lin guaranteed that no complete Yan Chixia would be seen in Kunlun.
Although the Lord of Black Mountain has changed his appearance and looks gentle and kind, it is only because no one has touched his reverse scale.
This period of time was enough for Yan Chixia to understand that Black Mountain was different from what was rumored, and it was also enough for Jiang Lin to see Yan Chixia's character—he was indeed a righteous and upright man.
Hearing Yan Chixia's solemn visit, Jiang Lin's eyes flashed with surprise.
He thought for a moment and said, "Since Yan Chixia is like this, we in Heishan should not be disrespectful. Huaiyin, go and greet the guest."
Huaiyin: “…”
She suddenly remembered who received her when she came to Montenegro to visit in person a long time ago.
Oh, they are two puppet boys.
Isn’t she a famous demon
Didn't she behave politely when she came
Doesn't she deserve a little respect and status
Huaiyin looked at his current master silently.
There is a certain degree of spiritual connection between the spiritual plant and its master, not to mention that Huaiyin did not try to hide his jealousy at all.
Jiang Lin sensed this sour smell and glanced at Huai Yin with a half-smile: "Are you not convinced?"
Huaiyin thought about it. She had seen it very clearly during this period of time. She was now Jiang Lin’s spiritual plant. Her life and death depended on Jiang Lin anyway. And it was obvious that Jiang Lin was a master with a good personality most of the time.
You can understand it by looking at how Qingluo is spoiled by him.
She didn't want to compete with Qingluo, but there was no need to avoid inquiries of this level.
She was right. Jiang Lin was not angry about this. He was even happy that Huaiyin told him what was in her heart.
She is his spiritual plant now, and will follow him for a long time in the future. It is not good to keep everything in her heart.
Facing Huaiyin's confusion, Jiang Lin glanced at her and said, "She came to visit me seriously and her attitude was very serious. What about you, Grandma Tree Demon? Why did you come to Black Mountain to look for me? Did you really have no idea?"
Huaiyin: “…”
At that time, she was being hunted by her enemies and was seriously injured. She wanted to use the Lord of Black Mountain to escape disaster.
Jiang Lin glanced at her calmly: "Don't treat others as fools, Huaiyin. If I didn't think you were still useful and had some intention of using you, do you think you could still stay here safely?"
Huaiyin's expression froze.
She is cunning and suspicious, but the best trait of her character is that she can see the situation clearly and knows what to do. When facing someone stronger than herself, she never thinks of competing with him.
Jiang Lin was stronger than her, and he was the master who controlled her life and death. Although these words were quite impolite, Huaiyin did not dare to say anything else. She straightened her outer robe and went out to greet the guests.
She didn't feel embarrassed at all, but Yan Chixia was stunned when he first saw such a beautiful woman with cloud-like hair, beautiful face and cold as ice coming to pick him up.
Before he had time to wonder why the beauty looked so unhappy, he was startled by the demonic aura that Huaiyin was not disguising.
Huaiyin was frustrated with Jiang Lin, so naturally she didn't have a good face in front of Yan Chixia.
She wanted to teach this stinky Taoist a lesson, so she showed off her strength on purpose to intimidate Yan Chixia.
Yan Chixia was indeed shocked, but he was frightened by Huaiyin's aura. When he looked more carefully, he sensed the heavy karma of the other party.
He was startled and stopped to look at the other person: "Who are you?"
Huaiyin said in a cold voice: "Under the seat of the Lord of Black Mountain, the tree demon grandma."
Dryad grandma!
This title is truly well-known!
There is a locust tree demon entrenched in Lanruo Temple. Over the years, it has controlled various demons and ghosts to do evil things.
Kunlun even sent disciples to encircle and suppress the rebellion.
Unfortunately, this tree demon was too cunning and its strength should not be underestimated, so Kunlun failed several times.
It can be said that in the eyes of the righteous Xuanmen, the notorious tree demon is much more troublesome than the Black Mountain Old Demon who has always lived in seclusion.
But now
Why did the tree demon grandma from Lanruo Temple appear in Black Mountain
Still respect Montenegro as the master
Yan Chixia's thoughts raced, and he couldn't help but think of the girls in the Heishan specialty shop in Qingshui County.
I see!
He was also wondering why there were so many beautiful but mediocre female demons and witches in Heishan. If they were from Lanruo Temple, it would make sense.
I don't know when the locust tree demon in Lanruo Temple was subdued by the Lord of Black Mountain? The Xuanmen didn't know about this yet.
He subconsciously wanted to write a letter back to his master, but Huaiyin was following him and they were in Black Mountain’s territory, so it was obviously not convenient.
Moreover, according to the fortune of Black Mountain that Yan Chixia had just seen, the Lord of Black Mountain should not be a treacherous and evil person.
Thinking about what Miss Ayu said and the shops in Heishan, Yan Chixia suddenly had an incredible idea:
Could it be that the Lord of Black Mountain subdued the group of demons in Lanruo Temple, converted them, and made them become good people
Yan Chixia was lost in thought and looked a little absent-minded.
Huaiyin looked at him coldly and couldn't help asking, "Are you a Taoist priest from Kunlun? Who is Qingyangzi to you?"
Yan Chixia came back to his senses and replied, "Qing Yangzi is my uncle."
Huaiyin snorted coldly: "This stinking Taoist priest was your age two hundred years ago, right? He came to Lanruo Temple with a sword in hand, claiming to enforce justice on behalf of heaven. Now, is he dead?"
Yan Chixia's expression changed, and he said angrily: "My uncle is still fine, you don't need to worry about him!"
"Oh—" Huaiyin said slowly, "They are all old people. It seems that even if they are not dead, they are not far from death."
Yan Chixia: “…”
He glared at Huaiyin coldly. Huaiyin was waiting for him to get angry so that she would have a reason to teach this young man a lesson.
Unexpectedly, Yan Chixia's expression suddenly calmed down and he shut up.
Huaiyin looked at him strangely and snorted, "Little Taoist priest, why are you silent?"
Yan Chixia said: "You are irritating me."
He said calmly, "You are stronger than me, and you have a grudge against my sect. You are not a kind person, and you have never concealed your hostility towards me. Logically, you could have attacked me directly, but you didn't. This shows that you have a reason not to attack me."
Huaiyin's expression changed.
Yan Chixia said calmly, "This is Black Mountain. The one who has the ability to restrain you is probably that Black Mountain senior. I guess he gave you an order not to hurt anyone at will, right?"
Huaiyin didn't expect that he hit the nail on the head and her face darkened.
She looked at Yan Chixia coldly, with murderous intent in her eyes.
Yan Chixia looked at her calmly, but secretly, he had already pinched the talisman in his hands behind his back.
But Huaiyin's expression changed several times, and he finally did not take action.
She turned around and said, "You are much smarter than your uncle." After saying that, she quickened her pace and no longer looked at him.
Yan Chixia secretly breathed a sigh of relief and took back the talisman that was between his fingertips.
He thought silently in his heart: This locust tree demon has not attacked me even though it is so powerful. It seems that the suppression of the Lord of Black Mountain on her is even greater than I thought.
He became more and more curious about Jiang Lin: He was able to control such a ferocious monster, and I wonder who this Lord of Black Mountain was
He followed Huaiyin into Black Mountain, and not far away, he saw two beautiful girls carrying baskets.
When the two pretty girls saw Huaiyin, their expressions changed slightly, but soon returned to normal and shouted, "Sister Huaiyin."
Huaiyin was in a bad mood, and when she heard this, she said sternly: "After following the master, you have become a lot braver. You don't even know how to call me grandma?"
The girl on the left trembled with fear, while the girl in blue on the right said calmly, "It was the master who told us to call you like this, saying that Sister Huaiyin was so young and beautiful, and calling her grandma would make her sound old for nothing."
Sir again!
Huaiyin is angry.
But if Jiang Lin was just a powerful enemy, she could still fight to the death, but Jiang Lin was not only powerful, he was also the master of her soul.
He could kill himself with just a thought.
Huaiyin felt very anxious.
But she could only hold it in.
So angry!
She changed the subject: "What are you doing?"
The one who spoke was the girl in blue: "The master said that there are guests coming today, so he asked us to pick some fresh fruits."
Speaking of guests, she looked at Yan Chixia curiously: "Is the guest this Taoist priest?"
The topic suddenly turned to himself. These two were picking fruits for him again. Yan Chixia bowed and said, "Thank you for your help, ladies."
The girl in blue said with a smile: "No need to thank us, thank you sir. I didn't pick the fruit for you."
The girl, who had been quiet and gentle all the time, also nodded and said, "Well, I am really happy to be appointed by the gentleman to pick fruits."
They look just like two fangirls.
Yan Chixia: “…” He is now even more curious about the Lord of Black Mountain.
After saying goodbye to the two girls, Yan Chixia continued to follow Huaiyin.
When passing a forest, Huaiyin suddenly stopped and looked strange.
Then she changed her direction, walked around the woods, and said uninterestedly, "The gentleman is just ahead, go meet him yourself."
After saying that, he leaned against the tree, obviously not wanting to go over there anymore.
It was the first time that Yan Chixia encountered such a guide. He was confused and curious. He walked around the forest that blocked his view and was dazzled by the scene in front of him.
He originally thought that even if he couldn't see a magnificent palace, he could at least see a decent and mysterious courtyard.
But in fact, there was only... a large piece of farmland ahead
The farmland was beautifully maintained, with each piece neatly planted with various small flowers around it. The crops in the fields were green and growing well, obviously growing very well.
If it were an ordinary farmer, it could be considered a feast for the eyes.
But, but this is a monster's territory!
It's really weird no matter how you think about it, right
Yan Chixia walked a little forward and saw a figure in front of him.
There were two people standing on the ridge ahead.
The figure in black had his back to him, squatting on the ground, looking intently at something.
There was also a person squatting next to him, a young girl, who was saying something excitedly.
Yan Chixia walked closer and heard:
"... Sir, this newly planted Orchid Qiluo is of very good quality. Smell it, it is light and elegant. When I make it into a spice, it will definitely be the most suitable fragrance for you!"
Yan Chixia: ??? Sir
If he guessed correctly, the "sir" that the monsters in Black Mountain called was the master of Black Mountain.
In the past, people in the Xuanmen sect called him the Black Mountain Old Demon.
Let’s not talk about what to call him now. How could a great demon, the Lord of Black Mountain, just squat on the ground in a field like this without any image
He couldn't help but walk closer and heard the man in black speaking. It was a very young and pleasant male voice:
"You did a great job, Hongxiu. I looked through the account books today and saw that your powder shop ranked first in sales last month."
Hong Xiu said proudly, "Of course, it's easy to make money from women. Those ladies would send people to me three times a day to ask when new products will be released."
She said shyly, "You said that every month the shop with the best harvest can not only get a larger share of the profits, but also can make a wish, and you can try your best to help fulfill it."
Jiang Lin nodded and said, "Yes."
Hong Xiu's eyes lit up: "Then sir, can I serve you personally?"
Jiang Lin: “…”
Hongxiu was afraid that he would misunderstand, so she quickly said, "Hongxiu knows that you are not interested in women, and I have no other intentions. I just admire you and want to be closer to you."
Jiang Lin was surprised. He didn't know why these girls liked him so much.
He considered it for a moment, and was just about to think of a suitable reason to refuse, when he heard Zong Yu's disdainful voice from above:
"Jiang Lin does everything by himself, why would he need you to serve him?"
Yan Chixia was stunned, he didn't realize there was a third person here. He looked up at the young man in black clothes on the tree and was horrified. How many powerful people are there in Black Mountain
Yet no one noticed him.
Hong Xiu looked up in surprise and asked awkwardly, "Master Xiao Zong, why are you here?"
Zong Yu didn't know when he came. He sat on a branch and said lazily, "You all targeted my chef. Don't I have to keep a close eye on him?"
Hongxiu's expression changed, and she seemed a little angry: "Sir, you have to take care of the affairs of Black Mountain every day, which is very hard. Master Xiaozong, you don't understand."
He also asks his husband to cook for him every meal.
These little demons can’t stand it anymore!
Zong Yu was not angry at her harsh words. He just glanced at Jiang Lin and said in a boastful tone, "But this is what your husband promised himself. He is just happy to cook for me. You can't envy him."
Seeing that Jiang Lin didn't say anything, Zong Yu jumped down from the tree, stood in front of him, and urged: "Don't you think so, Jiang Lin?"
Jiang Lin stood up and said helplessly: "Yes, yes, I am happy with it."
Zong Yu raised his chin and glanced at Hong Xiu.
Hongxiu: “…” I hate myself for not being able to beat this man!
Yan Chixia: “…”
Yan Chixia coughed and walked forward.
The black-robed man in front of him finally turned around.
Yan Chixia was about to bow when he was suddenly stunned.
This Lord of Black Mountain... looked completely different from what he had imagined.
He was wearing a plain black robe with no patterns on it. The dark color did not make him look gloomy, but instead brought out his jade-like skin and his delicate and beautiful features.
His eyes were gentle and calm, and his temperament was soft and peaceful, like the fresh breeze in the mountains and the clear spring in the forest, making one forget the worldly things when seeing him.
If Yan Chixia didn't know his identity, he would definitely not be able to connect him with the gloomy and lustful Lord of Black Mountain in the rumors.
… In fact, when I met him in person, it was even more difficult to connect the two.
What kind of blind person must be to spread such false rumors!
Jiang Lin was also sizing up this young Taoist genius. Yan Chixia was just as he imagined, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, full of righteousness. He was like a sword drawn from its sheath, his edge undisguised.
He laughed: "Yan Chixia?"
Yan Chixia came back to his senses, collected his thoughts, bowed and lowered his eyebrows: "Kunlun Yan Chixia, meet the Lord of Black Mountain."
Jiang Lin said casually: "My common name is Jiang, they all call me Mr., you can also call me Mr. Jiang."
Yan Chixia felt that the elegant title of "Sir" was very suitable for him.
He readily agreed: "Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Lin nodded and walked forward while saying, "I promised the girls today to come and see their achievements. I apologize for my poor hospitality."
How could Yan Chixia have any objection? He was very curious about the achievements of the "girls". Seeing that Jiang Lin had no objection, he followed him to watch.
Then he fell silent.
I originally thought that watching the girls' results would be a test of their abilities, but the result was that I followed Jiang Lin to inspect one piece of farmland after another, listening to his comments on who did a good job and which piece was not planted enough.
In the end, Yan Chixia was stunned.
He even suspected that he had actually entered an illusion and everything he saw was fake.
Otherwise, why would we see monsters farming all over the mountains
Finally, Jiang Lin stopped at a place with the most spiritual power.
There is a simple small courtyard here. A formation has been set up in the courtyard, so the situation inside cannot be seen clearly.
Yan Chixia perked up. The spiritual energy was abundant here and there was a faint glow. Could it be that he was finally going to see something different
Sure enough, Jiang Lin called out, "Huai Yin."
Yan Chixia still remembers that the tree demon grandma was called this name.
The next moment, the door of the courtyard creaked open.
Yan Chixia was stunned to see a beautiful woman with her hair tied up, no makeup on, and wearing a neat short brown dress walking out.
When she saw him, the beauty was stunned, and then her whole face turned red.
Angry.
This beauty is naturally the tree demon grandma.
She obviously didn't expect Yan Chixia to follow her, dressed like she usually does when she goes to work.
Yan Chixia also did not expect that the tree demon grandma who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had cloud-like hair and hairpins not long ago, would suddenly become a peasant woman in the mountains.
Are the monsters in Montenegro so changeable
What he didn't know was that since Huaiyin was sure that Jiang Lin had no interest in her or beautiful women, she was too lazy to dress up in front of him.
No matter how beautiful a woman is, if she meets someone who cannot appreciate her, isn't it like showing it to a blind person
She was not like the other girls who admired and worshipped Jiang Lin.
Those gorgeous and beautiful embroidered long skirts are really troublesome to get out of, it is better to wear a short brown dress and go barefoot.
Huaiyin felt that she had lost all face, especially in front of such a junior Taoist priest.
She gritted her teeth and spoke word by word: "What did you call me for, sir?"
Jiang Lin noticed her anger, blinked his eyes, and said innocently: "Today is the day to visit the medicinal fields, did you forget?"
Huaiyin said expressionlessly: "Oh, please!"
He looked like he had given up everything.
Yan Chixia finally understood where those good medicinal materials in the Qingshui County Specialty Mountain Treasure Shop came from. This Black Mountain always refreshed his knowledge again and again.
Before leaving the courtyard, Jiang Lin suddenly stopped, looked back at Huai Yin with a gloomy expression, and said seriously:
"Huaiyin, you look beautiful dressed like this."
Huaiyin was stunned for a moment, then his expression slowly relaxed.
She suddenly sighed: "Sir, if you are determined, I am afraid no woman can escape."
Jiang Lin shook his head and walked forward briskly: "People like me are destined to be wanderers, so I'd better not hurt the girls' hearts."
Jiang Lin invited Yan Chixia to have a meal with him. The meal was very rich and was prepared by Hongxiu.
This girl is a good cook. Because she felt sorry for Jiang Lin, she worked hard to learn many new dishes. She wanted Zong Yu to fall in love with her cooking skills and free her husband from working in the kitchen.
Unfortunately, this goal is destined to fail.
After dinner, Yan Chixia asked Jiang Lin if he could stay in Heishan Town for a few days.
He obviously had many doubts and wanted to stay for a few more days to observe.
Jiang Lin knew his purpose but didn't care. He just said that it was no problem for him to live there, but the houses on the Black Mountain were built by the girls themselves with their own money and hired craftsmen, so there was no extra space for him to live in, so he had to figure it out himself.
Yan Chixia: "... I can fix it myself."
He actually used the sword on his back to chop down trees for a whole day and built a small wooden house that was not very good-looking but very practical.
I stayed there for more than half a month.
He watched the girls from Montenegro working in the fields every day like ordinary farm girls, and also taking turns to work in the small shops in Qingshui County.
Watching them chattering together during their breaks, discussing which shop's fabrics and embroidery are more exquisite, which shop's jewelry is of good quality and low price, and occasionally they would sigh with melancholy, wondering why the gentleman doesn't need a personal maid
The girls were not polite to him either.
Jiang Lin had previously hinted that no one could eat and live for free in Montenegro.
Now that the master had given his approval, the girls would certainly not let go of this excellent labor force, and they did the work of bringing water, applying fertilizers and delivering goods without any guilt at all.
Yan Chixia is also a carefree person. After working for a long time, he actually feels that life in Montenegro is quite happy and comfortable.
That day, it was getting dark.
Yan Chixia spent a day pulling weeds and driving away insects in Huaiyin's medicinal fields and returned to the cabin.
He wrote a letter to his master:
"Master, Chixia has been in Black Mountain for half a month and feels that the Xuanmen has too many misunderstandings about Black Mountain and the Lord of Black Mountain. The Lord of Black Mountain is a bright and clear-minded person with great wisdom..."
He wrote several pages of letters in a very eloquent manner, all praising Montenegro.
He used his sect's secret method to write this letter, and within half an hour, it appeared on the desk of the Kunlun Sect's leader.
The head of Kunlun Sect was worried about his disciples and could not wait to open the letter...
Seeing all the flattery, he was filled with questions:
The puzzled Kunlun Sect Leader passed the letter to his fellow disciples and the elders of Kunlun Sect, and said uncertainly: "Look, is Chixia hinting at something to me?"
After reading it, several elders said: "…"
Qing Yangzi, the irritable old man, said suspiciously, "Is this really written by Junior Brother Yan? Apart from anything else, he actually said that the evil tree demon grandma was farming in the Black Mountain? Humph! This is simply ridiculous!"
