The river is clear and the spring breeze is full. Qianzhong City, located in the south of Liangzhou, welcomes spring earlier than other places, and the temperature is more pleasant. In this bright spring, there are many people out and about in the countryside.
No, although there is still a long distance from the city, a pair of bright figures are strolling on the tree-lined path full of wild flowers. They are one old and one young, one male and one female. They are in sharp contrast. Especially the woman among them, her graceful figure and beautiful face are looming in the pleasant spring breeze, like a goddess from the Nine Heavens.
The man was in his fifties or sixties, short in stature, and wearing martial arts uniforms. He looked ordinary, with a flat round head and somewhat revealing facial features. Fortunately, its scent feels quite mild, but its appearance is a bit ugly.
If you look closely, you will see that the girl is about sixteen or seventeen years old, in the prime of her life. She held a green cloth umbrella in her hand and wore a goose-yellow dress made of fine silk. Although the dress was not luxurious, it exuded a fresh and elegant style that was very comfortable.
A hairpin made of ink jade is dotted on the girl's bun, which makes her fresh and elegant reveal endless intelligence and nobility, as if she came out of poetry and painting.
And her extremely beautiful appearance seemed to cause the flowers in the mountains to hang down their reserved and proud bones shyly wherever she went, as if three parts of the spring beauty had been taken away from the world out of thin air. .
The two girls walked lightly in front of them, seeming to be in a very happy mood, while the man followed slowly and slowly behind. The two of them didn't speak much, and were no different from ordinary people enjoying the spring.
When he was about to reach a hill, the man asked:
"Miss, we have been wandering around Qianzhong City for several days. What are you thinking? If you don't leave, your master will come back."
The middle-aged man looked a little anxious, and judging by his tone, it seemed like the girl was his master.
"Why are you so anxious, Uncle Lei? Master has just left. It doesn't matter if we stay here for a few more days. Spring is good in the mountains, but there are only winding streams here. If there is a lake, we can also go boating!"
The girl covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Miss, you told me that you wanted to sneak home secretly. Sect Master Lan finally left you alone and is wandering here. Don't let her catch you before you leave!"
"Uncle Lei, why are you still the same? What are you so anxious about? Master has a good relationship with my father and won't embarrass me. Besides, she also knows that I want to go home, so it's okay. By the way, sisters Last time you told me that you wanted to see what novel things there were in the world, I kept remembering them, and I just happened to buy some."
The girl held an umbrella, looked back and smiled at the middle-aged man, making him feel as comfortable as a spring breeze, and couldn't help but smile:
"Okay, okay, okay, who made you a young lady? Whatever you say is what you say. I am just worried about your special status and fear of accidents. After leaving Qianzhong City, we will walk a few more towns to Qingxutian and Moshengmen. The border is over, and beyond that is our world. By then, it doesn’t matter even if you want to buy a city, haha!”
When the middle-aged man mentioned the three words "Demon Sect", his face showed an extremely confident and comfortable smile. At this time, the girl said to the middle-aged man:
"Uncle Lei, don't leave me alone, miss. You have watched me grow up, and the days with my father are as countless as the stars. As a family, you can just call me Mengxun, or you can call me Yao. Mengxun, Uncle Lei, what do you think?"
Although the girl named Yao Mengxun's language is plain, she is full of charm. She is as elegant as the sound of the piano and flute, making it irresistible.
The man surnamed Lei also laughed after hearing the girl's words. His ugly facial features looked even more ferocious. He would probably be frightened even if he saw a ghost. However, the girl didn't care and still stared at him with her pure and charming eyes.
In the girl's eyes, the man finally let go of the unnecessary high walls around him and smiled knowingly:
"Yes, yes, who can refuse our boss Yao's favorite apple? But let me tell you, Mengxun, I have no objection to where you want to go, but if you want to buy something, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."
Yao Mengxun had a puzzled expression on his face and couldn't help but ask:
"Why?"
The man named Lei laughed and said:
"Because Uncle Lei, I haven't bought or sold anything in the secular world for hundreds of years, and I don't have a lot of money. And I know that you, Mengxun, are practicing in a place like Jingcitian, so you are probably poorer than me. Ha ha!"
Yao Mengxun suddenly looked embarrassed when he heard this, then blushed and said:
"Uncle Lei actually laughed at me! But it doesn't matter, we don't have money, but there are people here who have money. The simplest thing is to barter. Mengxun's things can be exchanged for some yellow and white things, which is more than enough."
The man named Lei was stunned by what Yao Mengxun said and blurted out:.
"Where are there people in this wilderness?"
Yao Mengxun smiled confidently, then raised his flawless hand and pointed in the distance, saying:
"Here, Uncle Lei, isn't there a young man squatting in the mountain stream in front of you? It's enough to exchange a few pennies with him to buy some cheap and interesting gadgets. He should be richer than you."
She did not forget to reply to the man surnamed Lei, which made him feel embarrassed. However, Yao Mengxun's words made the man surnamed Lei silently surprised in his heart. Because this place is close to Qianzhong City, he did not dare to use magic arbitrarily. Consciousness scanned the surroundings, fearing to alert the monks stationed at Qingxu Tian.
But even without using his spiritual consciousness, his wind-controlling vision alone cannot reach such a far distance. Yao Mengxun's realm is only at the third-level Yuanhua realm at most, so how can he see so far away?
Out of curiosity, since his young lady has spoken, he should obey. However, when the other party wanted Yao Mengxun to wait for him to discuss it first, lest the man would have any objections after seeing the young lady's appearance, Yao Mengxun spoke in advance:
"You can stay here this time, Uncle Lei. I will go and talk to him myself. Mengxun has grown up and is able to take care of himself. Besides, I have been in Jingcitian for so long, and I have some self-esteem. The means of protection, not to mention the Demonic Life Order to protect the body, Uncle Lei can rest assured."
After saying that, Yao Mengxun smiled sweetly at Uncle Lei in her mouth. Regardless of his objections, he held a green umbrella and ran lightly towards the mountain stream. His cheerful steps seemed to reveal the girl's curiosity and yearning for the unknown.
When the man named Lei saw this, he had no choice but to shake his head and let her go with a wry smile. Regarding Yao Mengxun, he could really be said to be the person who loved her the most besides her father and several mothers.
It turns out that this ugly-looking man named Lei with a kind heart is named Lei Jiang. He is the leader of the Jiuzhou Demonic Way and the confidant of Yao Shengtian, the leader of the Demonic Sect. With Yufeng’s later cultivation, he is not only the elders of the various departments in the Demonic Sect’s Guiling Realm, but , the most powerful person.
Said to be a confidant, he was also Yao Shengtian's retainer.
Of course, although he is called a minister, the Yao family does not treat him as a master or minister.
Lei Jiang began to be responsible for Yao Shengtian's food and daily life when he was young. As a mortal, he was later given the skills to practice by Yao Shengtian, so he respected Yao Shengtian as much as he respected his father and brother.
Hundreds of years ago, Lei Jiang was seriously injured due to a plot by some unknown masters. He then fought fiercely for dozens of days and traveled thousands of miles away. In the end, he managed to escape back to the Demon Sect to save his life. However, because he had not If treated in time, the foundation will be damaged, the cultivation will stop at a standstill, and the patient will remain in the late stage of the wind-controlling realm for the rest of his life.
From this, Lei Jiang gradually began to disappear within the Mo Sheng Sect and took charge of internal affairs for Yao Shengtian. After Yao Shengtian's youngest daughter, Yao Mengxun, was born, he, as the most trusted confidant of the sect leader, was assigned to be responsible for the safety of his youngest daughter.
"Hey, more than ten years have passed. Mengxun has really grown up. She no longer needs old men like us. It would be nice if she could be more naughty like her peers. Girls of this age should not It’s so boring. I really don’t know what Boss Yao was thinking about sending his biological daughter to the Zhengdao sect or to Jingcitian where she practices Buddhism.”
Lei Jiang thought about it in his mind for a while, but in the end he did not pursue her. Instead, he felt sad for a while alone, recalling every detail of the young lady's childhood in the Demon Sect.
Let's say that Yao Mengxun was wandering around Qianzhong City for a reason.
A few days ago, she went to Qingxu Tian with her master to visit a friend, but unexpectedly, her master and her friend took her out of Qingxu Tianshan Gate in a hurry and rushed to Qianzhong City in the extreme south of Liangzhou without saying a word. There seems to be something urgent.
In her heart, the master always had a gentle smile on his face, and his leisurely posture was full of elegance and dignity. What could make her feel at a loss?
Even the master's friend hid his appearance for some unknown reason, even if he used his innate magical power, it was of no avail. For a moment, the atmosphere between the three of them became extremely solemn, making her, a junior, dare not make the slightest move.
However, after arriving at Qianzhong City, the two masters were led by a Qingxutian garrison disciple in Qianzhong City to go to a distant place, but they left her behind and asked her to wait in the city.
Maybe the master knew that the apprentice was homesick and wanted to let her go, or maybe the master really didn't want to take her there. After Lei Jiang arrived, the two began to aimlessly "tour the mountains" around Qianzhong City. Playing with water”.
Now, after not seeing his master for several days, Yao Mengxun slowly gave up the idea of going into it further. After all, it was his master's private matter and he shouldn't interfere with it. Moreover, if he didn't leave, what if the master really came back? Can't leave anymore.
So no, the fun was almost over, and Yao Mengxun planned to buy some gifts for her family. Although she was short of money, the boy who appeared by the mountain stream made her want to exchange money.
When she came not far from the boy, she slowly stopped running and put away her green umbrella after thinking about it. After all, holding an umbrella in the mortal world in broad daylight might cause people to misunderstand her as something else.
Then she quietly used her innate talent again: the eye of the mind.
