Although Qingquan Village is the county seat, it is surrounded by farmers who are mainly engaged in agricultural production, so it is more appropriate to call it a 'village'.
However, when we entered Qingquan Village, we saw a different scene. There were many shops on the streets, there were many tourists, and there were also many people setting up stalls and hawking on the streets.
It is enough to see the rapid development of the local area.
Jiang Yunyi and Lu Ningshuang found an inn, located almost at the end of the village.
Jiang Yunyi frowned slightly, still confused as to whether the mountain had a chance to meet the immortal. Instead, Lu Ningshuang interrupted his thoughts first and said slowly: "Husband, we don't have much money, but we can sleep in a good guest room together."
This is more like saying it to the store, so that the store will rush over to say hello.
Jiang Yunyi was speechless. She really didn't give herself any private time. It was impossible for Lu Ningshuang to be short of money, but he himself... was a bit short.
Jiang Yunyi, who originally had the idea of sleeping in separate rooms, could only nod his head and agreed. After all, to save money, he could not rely on Lu Ningshuang to support him all the way, so Jiang Yunyi declared in advance that he could use his own funds.
Who would have thought that now she would use him as an excuse to live together. If he had known, it would be better for him to take care of his own money now, because it would be troublesome to have the ring with him.
The inn is not far from Xianlin Mountain. A powerful person with a powerful soul can get a glimpse of it by stretching out, but it cannot completely cover Xianlin Mountain, and it is not even possible to determine whether there is a treasure.
"Is the store owner a local?"
"Of course it is."
"Does the store owner know that there are real immortals on Xianlin Mountain? Or is there really some elixir?" Jiang Yunyi asked. Since the soul can't find out, he just has to ask.
As a local, he felt he should know something.
"The Immortal didn't know something. Xianlin Mountain was not a fairy mountain at first. It was later discovered that this mountain contains a very rich aura of heaven and earth. Anyone who has stayed close to it for more than three years will be inexplicably enlightened and become immortals." On the way, it is said that an immortal came to the top of the mountain. It was caused by the aura that remained when he was enthroned, so it was called Xianlin Mountain."
The shopkeeper put the rag on his shoulder and added with a smile: "For us ordinary people, it is too difficult to achieve the path to immortality, but if we stay in this mountain for a few days, we may benefit a lot.
And I heard that there are immortals practicing in the mountains, and their cultivation speed will be more than twice as fast as in the secular world. Therefore, rather than saying it is a magical elixir, Xianlin Mountain is more like a sacred mountain and a blessed place for ordinary people to step into the path of immortality and prolong their lives. "
After listening to the shopkeeper's words, Jiang Yunyi fell into thinking. If mortals can also have the path to immortality, will they gain merit, lose their lifespan, or both?
Obtaining the path to immortality is just a dream goal at the beginning, but once you truly step into the path of a monk, you will find that there are still many competitions that need to be put into action.
If you don't have enough qualifications, you will think about grabbing opportunities; if you don't have enough strength, you can only slaughter them at will, be refined by the demon sect, and be eaten alive by monsters. You can't blame others.
The road is brutal.
This is the world of cultivation.
Lucky for Lu Ningshuang and Jiang Yunyi, they are disciples of Tianling Holy Land. They know far more than anyone else can, and they receive the same protection. People who are two realms above are not allowed to pursue them, otherwise they will bear the sanctions of Tianling Holy Land.
It's a pity that the guys who Jiang Yunyi killed were all from small families who were only one level above them and had peak strength. It could be said that they were completely unlucky.
Jiang Yunyi looked at Xianlin Mountain from a distance and asked, "Does the store owner know what the temperature is like in this mountain?"
"Xianlin Mountain is covered by clouds and fog all year round, so it's normal for the immortals not to be able to see through it." The shop owner said, "This Xianlin Mountain is cold all year round, in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Even if you haven't climbed to the top and are only halfway up the mountain, I'm afraid you have to wrap yourself up. Jacket."
"Doesn't it mean there is snow on the top of the mountain?"
"Of course there is, but ordinary people can only stay at the foot of the mountain. Taoist monks like immortals only go down halfway up the mountain. There are fierce tigers further up, and I am afraid they are impassable. All the roads further up are still unreachable. People know.”
Because the tiger is the eldest of the mountain beasts, it is called the "Tiger King".
"Tiger? I'm afraid he has awakened his wisdom."
"Isn't that right? There were immortal disciples who tried to continue climbing up, but were blocked by the tiger. In his territory, no matter how powerful those talented disciples are, they can't make waves." The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed.
Jiang Yunyi narrowed his eyes: "Did it hurt anyone?"
"I haven't heard of that."
After hearing the news from the store, Jiang Yunyi thanked him and spent some money to take care of other people's business.
I don't know if it's because of the remoteness of this place, but the meat is relatively expensive. Among them is the snow rabbit meat from Xianlin Mountain. After roasting, it has a golden and crispy appearance, which makes people salivate.
Jiang Yunyi showed trouble, tearing the meat with his hands boldly, but saw that Lu Ningshuang was only drinking tea, and the table was empty.
On the contrary, there was a whole roasted snowshoe rabbit in front of him, and he felt inexplicably indebted to her.
If they hadn't been sitting in the corner, Jiang Yunyi would have felt that someone was talking about him abusing her and not giving her meat.
Thinking about it, Jiang Yunyi immediately tore off a piece and fed it to Lu Ningshuang's mouth: "Stop drinking tea all the time and eat some meat."
"OK."
She was not greedy for food, but since it was Jiang Yunyi who fed her, she would not refuse.
The sunlight slanting in the corner made Lu Ningshuang raise her head from the shadows, her cold face was deep and cold, and the shadows and waves in her eyes reflected him in the glow.
Lu Ningshuang's eyebrows are extremely beautiful and charming.
She lowered her head and obediently took the piece of meat, but lightly pressed it to her mouth along with his fingertips.
The warm, numbing feeling is gripping.
Jiang Yunyi hurriedly took back her hand. Although Lu Ningshuang didn't have any lip makeup, her fingertips had a faint trace of her lips.
"you......."
Jiang Yunyi first looked around and found someone paying attention, then poked her forehead with a clean hand: "Lu Ningshuang, do you have any misunderstanding about feeding?"
"Husband is also my food." Lu Ningshuang's voice was accompanied by the spring breeze: "Husband, I will eat it."
Jiang Yunyi's mouth twitched slightly, not daring to touch her again, and decisively asked Lu Ningshuang for chopsticks.
She also lived up to her expectations and took out the bamboo chopsticks that the two of them commonly used from the Najie, which made Jiang Yunyi deeply doubt whether Lu Ningshuang had packed everything in the bamboo house.
Jiang Yunyi continued to feed her a little more: "Eat quickly, don't expect me to feed you with my hands again."
Just when he took back his hand, he wanted to put down his chopsticks and tear the meat with his hands to enjoy, but he was suddenly attracted by Lu Ningshuang's topic.
"Husband, do you want to know what is on Xianlin Mountain?"
Jiang Yunyi was about to put down his chopsticks, then raised his head and asked, "What's there?"
"Maybe there really is an immortal on the top of Xianlin Mountain, and it has a lot to do with my husband."
"And me?"
Lu Ningshuang obviously knew other secrets about the Xianlin Mountain. She nodded and said, "Yes, it has something to do with my husband."
"How come I don't know about the people who are related to me?" After his attention was diverted, Jiang Yunyi continued to pick up the meat with chopsticks and enjoyed the snow rabbit barbecue by himself.
Seeing this, Lu Ningshuang said nothing and just drank tea silently. This not only aroused Jiang Yunyi's curiosity, but also caused him to kiss indirectly unknowingly.
"Lu Ningshuang, don't stop talking mid-sentence!" Jiang Yunyi couldn't help but urge.
Lu Ningshuang glanced at him with a calm expression: "I'll tell my husband tonight."
Jiang Yunyi: "..."
This is to make him willing to sleep in the same bed, right?
........
After staying in the inn for two days like this, Jiang Yunyi was finally able to ask who the person Lu Ningshuang was talking about was, and instead got herself in.
Every time Lu Ningshuang was talking, he would feel sleepy for no reason. He felt like he was listening to some strange stories from heaven, and he soon fell asleep. He was held in her arms again, his ears and temples were rubbing against each other, and his heartstrings were trembling. He was always disappointed. Close your eyes.
When I opened my eyes, it was already the next day.
When Jiang Yunyi still wanted to ask her, Lu Ningshuang told him to wait until night. What could she do?
Even if Jiang Yunyi looked at her with a dissatisfied look, Lu Ningshuang had a good reason to tell him: "Husband, it was you who slept in my arms."
Jiang Yunyi was immediately speechless.
If he cried, made a fuss, and hanged himself, I think Lu Ningshuang would tell him the truth, but that wouldn't be the case yet.
The next morning.
The two of them bathed in the morning light with the spring flowers and walked among the countryside to Xianlin Mountain. It didn't look far away from a distance, but in fact it was more than fifty miles away.
Suddenly, Jiang Yunyi found a daisy flower on the side of the road, so he picked it off with itchy hands and peeled off the petals piece by piece, as if to judge something.
However, after peeling off two or three pieces each time, he discarded them.
Count the petals and recite your question silently in your mind until the last petal represents the answer, that is, 'break off a petal and make a decision'.
But Jiang Yunyi knew the number of petals and the answer at just a glance, which was really boring. At the same time, when he chose the flower, the answer was already in his mind.
Lu Ningshuang didn't know why, but it made Jiang Yunyi go back to his childhood in his previous life.
When walking in the countryside, no matter how long the road is, I always like to pick up some flowers and plants in the fields beside the road and take them in my hands, but every time I get them home, they are incomplete.
There are a group of farmers working in the field, as well as young children. Their bodies are stained with mud and their clothes are a little torn, but they are still enjoying themselves.
"Hurry up, hurry up, I'll buy you candied haws."
"Brother, you, please slow down..."
The brother and sister ran past them. The girl couldn't run anymore and stopped to rest.
When the boy saw this, he immediately ran over to hold his sister and smiled sweetly at her: "My mother said that a man should take good care of his sister."
The boy led his sister and walked forward slowly.
Jiang Yunyi looked back at the brother and sister. Both of their faces were filled with innocent smiles, as if they never knew sorrow, which made him couldn't help but smile too.
Because their age happened to be the same age when he and Lu Ningshuang met, and they had not yet reached Qingzhu Peak, but lived a poor and ordinary life in the ordinary world.
Even though Lu Ningshuang had a cold temperament, for Jiang Yunyi at that time, there was another person who could accompany and support each other, so he no longer had to live alone in the grass temple.
All of this was still fresh in Jiang Yunyi's memory. He tilted his head slightly to look at the stunning beauty beside him. Now that his beauty was hard to conceal, he only looked mediocre in the eyes of others.
Lu Ningshuang looked at it quietly, her eyes meeting each other, like the ripples of autumn water, like the clear moonlight, reflecting the quiet years of five hundred years.
After a while, Jiang Yunyi took the lead to look away and continued to play with the folded flowers while walking without mentioning anything. After all, it was all in the past.
But Lu Ningshuang's words were concise and concise: "It was you who pulled me like this back then to see all the prosperity in the city."
Jiang Yunyi pretended to be flirty and answered calmly: "I'm just taking you around the city. I can't give you anything at that time, and it's nothing."
The city where they lived when they were young was not considered prosperous to the two of them now, but to them at that time, it was the most affluent place they had ever seen.
I didn't have much money at the time, so I could only take her around the city. I could only watch the delicious food and fun things during the festival.
For example, on the original Shangyuan Festival, it was not until the master brought him back to Qingzhu Peak that he had enough money to return to the mortal city that he could buy glutinous rice balls for Lu Ningshuang to eat, and truly experience the fireworks in the world.
Unconsciously, they had walked out of the field. There was no one around, and it was obviously a lonely path.
Lu Ningshuang lowered her eyelashes slightly and said slowly: "At least, my husband was with me at that time."
After hearing Lu Ningshuang's words, Jiang Yunyi pondered for a long time.
"Aren't I accompanying you now?"
"But now my husband doesn't want to hold hands anymore."
Jiang Yunyi: "..."
After thinking for a while, he warned: "Lu Ningshuang, if you don't move a hand or step, I will hold it for you."
Jiang Yunyi could still remember what she did when she kissed his fingertips, then kissed her indirectly on his lips, and when he fed her, she lightly licked her fingertips.
No matter how much he continues, he will really fall!
"I thought my husband would retaliate tooth for tooth and eye for eye." Lu Ningshuang lowered her head and spoke very softly, unable to express any emotion.
But Jiang Yunyi could still feel the disappointment of Lu Ningshuang's plan failing to keep up with the changes from her words, but Jiang Yunyi still did not dare to relax.
"Just say whether you agree or not."
Jiang Yunyi reached out to her, expecting Lu Ningshuang to hesitate for a moment, but she didn't expect that he didn't hesitate at all and directly held him tightly with her white and soft hands.
Lu Ningshuang's fingertips rubbed his slender and distinct hands, and the soft skin seemed to be broken at any time.
"By not touching my husband, do you mean that I'm not allowed to use your husband's fingers again?"
"nonsense."
"Well, I'll use mine then."
"?"
Under the morning breeze, the whisper reached Jiang Yunyi's ears. He was slightly startled, and when he turned his head, a finger as smooth as jade was pressed against his thin lips.
Soft and pure white, like cold lotus in the snow, exuding bursts of fragrance, the gentle trembling of the fingertips brings out a bit of charm, adding to the allure.
Jiang Yunyi's heart skipped a beat, but he looked directly at her without fear and bit Lu Ningshuang's unscrupulous finger with his teeth.
Although the skin was not even broken, Jiang Yunyi thought that he had exerted a lot of force, so he looked at Lu Ningshuang provocatively.
It's a pity that she didn't dodge, she didn't even frown, her eyes were as calm as water as she looked at the handsome young man in front of her, and even a little desire arose in her heart...
Jiang Yunyi frowned, but when Lu Ningshuang was indifferent, he let go. He put down the fingers in his mouth, stared at her face, and said abruptly: "Lu Ningshuang, don't you feel any pain?"
It was obvious that Jiang Yunyi bit her to make Lu Ningshuang have a better memory, but now he felt distressed first.
Seeing his slightly distressed expression, Lu Ningshuang, who had never lied to Jiang Yunyi, hid her hand at this time and actually lied like a ghost.
"pain."
Her cold and indifferent face was very advantageous at this moment, making it difficult for people to tell whether what she said was true or false.
However, Jiang Yunyi said with rare wisdom: "Put out your hand and let me see."
But a person like Lu Ningshuang continued to fight with him, and even made Jiang Yunyi retreat with just one sentence: "My husband feels sorry for me, that's enough."
