The sun was blazing like fire outside, and there seemed to be a few ounces of frost hanging on the slightly cold handsome face of Lord Guard Shi.
He stared at the noble ancestor of the Que family and said nothing for a while.
Liu Sichen stood motionless at the table.
He froze.
Seeing the stunningly beautiful pair of long and narrow red phoenix eyes of the woman opposite, he glanced at them casually, lowered his head and calmly took off the silk veil on his head, slightly swung his sleeves, and put them aside.
Then when he raised his eyes, Liu Sichen felt his eyes light up, and he felt dizzy and confused.
Until his calf was kicked hard by Dongfang Qingfeng from under the table.
He just came back to his senses.
"Hiss..." It hurts!
Be good! Is this the legendary ancestor of the Que family? Liu Sichen looked across the way and couldn't believe it...
This is the first time in his life that he has seen such a divine figure who is so beautiful!
He looked at His Highness and saw His Highness with a cold and handsome face, glaring at him with cold eyebrows.
"Haha." Liu Sichen quickly hooked his feet on the mahogany stool and slid to sit next to the general. "Your Highness, would you like me to order some food and eat together?"
After saying that, he looked at the opposite side, leaned close to the general, and whispered in ventriloquism: "Your Highness, no wonder the Que family was willing to pay three thousand taels of gold for protection. This ancestor of his family, no, this girl, was born in the wrong way." If she was born in the palace...the marriage will probably ensure that the people on the border can live and work in peace and prosperity for eight hundred years..."
"Get out!" Dongfang Qingfeng looked at him up and down with disgust.
However, his eyes stayed on the person opposite him for a moment.
In fact, Dongfang Qingfeng had already obtained the portraits of the master and servant from Tianchawei before.
It can only be said that the painter of Tianchawei has limited abilities. Except for some characteristics of the clothes, the appearance is not at all similar. If the ancestor of the Que family, Que Qingyue, does have some appearance, the painter can at most draw half of it, but it is next to the ancestor. The painter painted the waitress very vividly. It is estimated that Tianchawei's painting technicians did not see the true face of this ancestor, and only roughly sketched it through the outline of the thin hat and silk gauze.
The real appearance of this ancestor of the Que family is more outstanding than in the painting. This is only when she is quiet. Once she moves, raises her hands and feet, lowers her eyebrows and narrows her eyes, and only the slightest movement of her expression, it gives people a thrilling feeling.
After Dongfang Qingfeng looked at it for a while, he finally said: "I'm Dongfang Qingfeng." Then he reached into his arms, took out a golden token from his clothes, and showed it to the opposite side. Five words were engraved on it: Protector of the Northern Chassis. .
On the back is one word, town.
The sign was placed heavily on the table.
"Ancestor, what is that?" Yuan Ying approached Que Qingyue and asked in a low voice.
"Guardian History Pure Gold Token." Que Qingyue replied to her casually.
"A pure gold card?" Yuan Ying asked in surprise.
Que Qingyue then turned to look at her: "You just heard the word pure gold, right? Keep your voice down!"
Then she turned back to her face and smiled politely: "It turns out to be Lord Guard Shi, and this is indeed Que Qingyue of the Que family."
"Okay!" Dongfang Qingfeng raised his eyebrows without being happy or angry: "The leader of the Que clan, Mr. Que and the national preceptor have requested an imperial edict from the current Holy Emperor, ordering me to take eight hundred elite cavalry to escort Sun Que Qingyue of the Que clan. Return to Tianyuan City."
As he spoke, he took out the imperial edict directly from his sleeve and threw it on the table with a bang.
"Now that I have accepted the order, if something happens to Miss Que on the way back to Tianyuan, although it is not Feng's fault, I would not be able to explain it to the Holy Master and the Que family! What do you think, Miss Que?"
After receiving the urgent letter from Prefect Zhou, Dongfang Qingfeng rushed to Rakshasa City without even having time to take off his armor or eat lunch. At that time, he thought this matter was extremely troublesome, but now he has found the person. I even felt that I might have picked up a hot potato this time.
Before Que Qingyue could speak, Yuan Ying next to her slapped her palm on the table.
"How do you talk?"
Liu Sichen, who was sitting on the other side, took a breath when he saw the table suddenly sank, leaving a palm print, this woman? What a strength!
"There is a reason why we go on the road alone! Before our ancestors set off, they made some calculations and realized that the most dangerous thing to do on this trip was large crowds. They are dangerous. She is a member of the Que family, and her words must be followed and her actions must be accurate. What's your dissatisfaction? Even if it's dangerous. If you are dissatisfied, you have to hold it in!"
Que Qingyue looked up at Yuan Ying in shock: "When did I say this? No, you are out! Do you know who you are talking to? He is the Thousand Man Killer..." Dongfang Qingfeng, this silly girl , I guess I didn’t even understand his name.
Killing Thousands of People, Dongfang Qingfeng's killing skill is one of the ten famous guardian envoys.
The history of subduing demons and guarding! General Bei Cha!
She glanced at the person opposite, and saw that the other person was accumulating a lot of anger and had no place to vent it. He had just thrown away the imperial edict, which showed that he was just trying to endure it now.
Provoke him? Not a wise move.
There is also the armor he is wearing, which is golden in color and is made by the royal craftsman of the palace. It is the most precious unicorn armor in the palace. The scales on the armor are light and thin and fine and fit perfectly. Each piece is polished and lifelike. It is valuable. Only the princes of the palace and Only important ministers who have made meritorious deeds have the opportunity to wear the unicorn armor bestowed by the emperor.
If ordinary people dare to wear it, they are seeking death.
However, if you look closely, you will see that there is still blood on the unicorn armor on his waist. It is unclear whether it is his own blood or the blood spattered by the murderer. The cold luster of the unicorn armor highlights the sharp murderous intent that remains in this man's eyebrows.
This is not something you can do just by practicing singing and practicing one's body, but it can only be obtained by being immersed in the Blood Sea Knife Mountain and killing people in a pile of dead people.
Provoke him? are you crazy?
Que Qingyue lowered her head and reached out to pull Yuan Ying, "What are you trying to do? Sit down."
Yuan Ying is still a young child who has just seen the world, and she is full of enthusiasm.
So as soon as her ancestor asked her to sit down, she quickly sat down, "Thousands, thousands of people killed?"
When in Rakshasa City, everyone talked about these legendary characters in the streets and alleys, especially the heroic feat of the top ten guards who killed thousands of people with one horse and one sword. Yuan Ying was deeply impressed.
"Well, that's him." Que Qingyue picked up the tea cup as if there was no one around, lowered her head and took a sip of tea.
"Yes, General, what this girl said makes sense. Miss Que was born in the Que family, and the Que family is a famous Tianshi family in the capital. She must be... after all..." She is the reincarnation of the Que family, and she must have some skills. .
Next to him, Liu Sichen had come to his senses, but when he looked again, his eyes were glued to his face again. This ancestor looked really good, with a touch of beauty and charm, a delicate and calm look, calm and angry, and yet genuine and genuine. Disdainful, disdainful of being flattered. Looking back, the flattery is gone, and the expression on his face is full of righteousness.
She is simply showing off her skills with her beauty, which is dazzling and extremely charming.
Immortal product, this is definitely an immortal product.
His Highness's face, which had always been cold and cold, didn't seem to have changed at all at this time.
He looked at Liu Sichen.
Liu Sichen immediately shut up and did not dare to say any more.
It didn't matter how much His Highness scolded him, he was just afraid of the sudden silence.
He murmured in his heart, Your Highness, it was because he had practiced Suo Long Sha that his evil energy was condensed and he could fight a thousand people with one strike. The Suo Long Sha technique was domineering and not good for women, but he was still a grown man.
My Fair Lady, even gentlemen like to see it...
Que Qingyue stood up and took the imperial edict from the table, unfolded it, and swept it over.
"The Imperial Master is interested."
She reached out and put her long hair back behind her back when she took the imperial edict, and then said seriously: "Now that the general knows my thoughts, what are your plans next?"
Alas, she had already budgeted the outcome of this trip. If she brought eight hundred elite soldiers with her, she would probably die on the road. It would be better to do what Yuan Ying said.
Their eyes met in the air.
Dongfang Qingfeng looked away and thought for a moment: "What would Miss Que have done without this imperial edict?"
Que Qingyue lowered her head and looked at her face: "There will be a caravan from Yuncheng to Zuilongtan in the afternoon. We plan to follow the caravan."
Dongfang Qingfeng tapped the table with his finger and said in a calm tone: "Okay, let's go together then. I don't need to bring the eight hundred elite soldiers, but Miss Que, you'd better not leave suddenly again, otherwise, I might I will kidnap you back to Tianyuan City."
Que Qingyue lowered her head and smiled: "Okay, then this trip will trouble General Dongfang."
The two of them asked and answered questions like this, their voices not loud, and they seemed to be chatting casually.
But Liu Sichen and Yuan Ying, who were sitting next to him, remained silent. They looked at Dongfang Qingfeng for a while and their ancestors for a while.
One thought that the general was too talkative today and actually took a step back to discuss it with the other party?
The other one felt that his ancestor didn’t mention any conditions, so he agreed too readily, and now they’re... together?
Dongfang Qingfeng: What's the imperial edict? The main thing is the three thousand taels of gold. If this person dies and the Que family asks him to return the gold, he can't take out the things that have been confiscated. What's more, eight hundred elite soldiers, fed with real money and silver, are wasted on a woman. It's not worth it. It's so good.
Que Qingyue: Although the scene of snow in the sky and people outside the city looks a bit strange, the person who can escort her back to Tianyuan successfully should be the person in front of her.
One of them received the edict and waist badge, the other touched his sleeves and picked up the chopsticks. Liu Sichen and Yuan Ying each breathed a sigh of relief.
"...There's still an hour before the caravan leaves. The general and I haven't eaten on the way this morning, so we happen to have something to eat here." Liu Sichen saw that Dongfang Qingfeng had no objection, so he immediately called the waiter and got on the train again. A table.
While eating, Liu Sichen tried to talk to the rich ancestor of the Que family.
"By the way, Miss Que, you may have stayed in Rakshasa City for a long time and don't know. Now, the road going north has not been easy to walk in the past ten years. There are many evil spirits, which are very evil. Folk warlocks have classified these evil spirits into different levels. What are they called five yellows, three evils, and underworld...
Five yellows are okay, but they are just five small evil spirits. Three evil spirits are three big evil spirits gathered together. The evil spirits at the Huangquan level are even more terrifying. In serious cases, they can even endanger a city. Some time ago, a sudden outbreak of evil spirits occurred in a Taiping Town in Jiangning County. The whole town will be gone if they say no..."
Yuan Ying said: "We knew about this when we were in the prefecture, so when we came out this time, I took Rakshasa City to the capital to record a detailed map. All the dangerous places on the road were marked on it. We just need to be careful and go around. Just keep walking."
"Ah."
Liu Sichen looked at this silly kid from the prefect's house, but he didn't say anything. People with little experience in business always take things too simply. In fact, there are some troubles. Even if you have a map in your hand and are fully prepared, please Ten heavenly masters take refuge, something should happen, something will happen...
To check out at Wangjiang Tower, you have to pay a total of forty-six silver.
When everyone first met, everyone paid their own way. Que Qingyue only ate a bowl of jade noodle soup, and the rest was all Yuan Ying's expense.
Que Qingyue folded her hands and glanced at Yuan Ying, "What do you want me to do? Pay."
The money was put in the box on Yuan Ying's back.
Yuan Ying was still shocked when she took out her money bag, "Shopkeeper, does this table of yours cost five taels of silver? Is it so expensive?" She just slapped her, and there was just an extra fingerprint on the table, which was broken a little bit. , just five taels?
"Also, even if we eat more, we can't eat dozens of taels in one meal. You might as well go and grab it!"
The shopkeeper said in embarrassment: "Our Wangjiang Tower is a large restaurant, and all the utensils in the store are the best. Sir, the table you damaged is made of fine red branch wood, with beautiful texture and fine wood. If it sinks when it encounters water, a piece of red branch wood can only make a table. The raw materials are expensive, and there are also craftsmen's labor fees. The five taels are still what we pay for repairs, which is not cheap in the first place.
Moreover, the seat you are sitting on on the second floor is the most elegant seat with beautiful scenery and a view of the river. There is also a certain view fee. You are lucky. Such a place has just been vacated and you can't usually grab it. As for Accounts, sir, you can take a look at it yourself, you...are indeed better than others..."
"Yes, yes, here you go."
Yuan Ying counted the coins in pain and threw them to the shopkeeper.
Que Qingyue approached and settled the accounts for her: "You ate forty-six taels for this meal. Excluding the traveling expenses paid to the caravan, there won't be much left of the one hundred taels. If you run out of money, you can go to the dock to move." Sacks, you can make some money."
She looked up and down at Yuan Ying's physique: "You are born with supernatural powers, and you can earn an extra hundred yuan a day, which is enough for us." After saying that, she smiled in a good mood, turned around and walked out of Wangjiang Tower.
Yuan Ying put the box on her back and chased after him.
"Ancestor, ancestor, you really want me to carry the sacks, just carry them..."
Que Qingyue held the hem of her clothes in her right hand. When she stepped onto the horse stool, Yuan Ying, who was supporting her, asked: "Ancestor, you said that this trip is very dangerous. Now we have two more people. Doesn't it matter?"
Yuan Ying knew that Que Qingyue didn't do divination once in a year and a half, and she would definitely vomit blood if she did divination. She just finished vomiting last month and was recovering from illness for half a month, so she must have figured out something. So during that time, she stayed up at night and stared at people every day. She really Made her stare.
For this trip, two people can't be considered too many, so four people are a bit too much, right?
Que Qingyue pinched the hand of the snow-white clothes and looked sideways at the two people riding horses in front of them, one red and one black, in full glory, wearing bright clothes and angry horses.
The two horses, one black and one red, were running neck and neck. Dongfang Qingfeng was dressed in black and red clothing, with a unicorn armor vest on the outside. He was as domineering and domineering as the blood-red bay red horse in the sun.
Que Qingyue's eyes moved down and she saw the amount of merit of the other party, which was dazzlingly red.
She opened the gauze curtain with one hand and walked into the carriage.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen..." One of these two people is more ferocious than the ferocious beast.
…
As soon as we entered the carriage, it was still hot and stuffy.
She sat cross-legged in the carriage and closed her eyes due to the heat.
This is not sleeping, but a Taoist technique of nourishing the mind, contemplating the sea of consciousness.
Ordinary people become sleepy when they visualize, and those who have evil thoughts have many inner demons. If you are talented, your sea of consciousness will produce visions and visualize things that are consistent with your nature, commonly known as the self. However, it varies from person to person. Some people look at the sun, and some people look at the sun. Observing people, birds, and even clouds, there are people in Xuanmen who visualize an inkstone. He is indeed famous for his calligraphy and ink.
Que Qingyue was different from others, she saw... the real thing.
A moon disk shaped like a bright moon with nine rings embedded in it hung high in her sea of consciousness.
Under the moon disk is a sea. It is not an ordinary sea, commonly known as the sea of merit. This sea of merit actually manifests, and it really looks like a sea.
The amount of merit determines the size of the sea.
The moon wheel is like a living thing, and it will regularly swallow up the good deeds in her sea of merit.
At first, Que Qingyue was shocked, not by the wonder of the bright moon on the sea, but by the moon wheel, which could move and the nine rings embedded inside it could rotate.
She couldn't even put into words what she was visualizing.
When others asked, she would only say that the object she was visualizing was the moon, and everyone was happy.
But whose moon can spin in circles?
Several years of research followed.
At the cost of vomiting blood several times, I was able to figure out just one or two points about this thing.
The first time she curiously turned the moon disk was when she was nine years old. At that time, everyone said that she was the reincarnation of the ancestor of the Que family. They said that the ancestor of the Que family had the magical power to command ghosts and gods, change the fate of the world, and revive the dead.
Que Qingyue thinks the people in Quemen are crazy? Do you believe in such legendary things...?
Until she couldn't help it, and while visualizing, she tried to turn the smallest wheel in the moon disk. That was the first time she saw her destiny. She would leave the capital and go to a bitter and cold place.
The image of being far away from the capital came to mind. Que Qingyue had a fever that night and was ill for three days and three nights.
From then on, she never touched the moon disk again.
Just let it die in her sea of consciousness.
Until she met Yuan Ying who starved to death on the roadside in Rakshasa City. Yuan Ying was lying under her carriage before she died, her hands still holding the wheels of the carriage tightly. Que Qingyue felt compassion at that moment.
She turned the second layer of the moon disk. At the moment of turning, the sea of merit was drawn wildly by the moon wheel. Sitting in the carriage, she lowered her head and spit out blood. The blood slowly fell onto her snow-white robe, bright and dazzling.
After returning home, he was in a coma for seven days. He drank ginseng soup for half a month before he got better.
Unexpectedly, half a year later, she met Yuan Ying again, and she actually came back to life. Because she had natural supernatural powers, she sold herself and entered the prefect's mansion.
At that time, two of the four maids around Que Qingyue were married. She looked around and picked Yuan Ying as a maid. Yuan Ying's original name was Yuan Er and she was the second oldest child in the family. Que Qingyue named her Ying, and from then on she had After hearing her name, nine-year-old Yuan Ying followed her all the time.
Que Qingyue didn't know if the ancestor of the Que family had such a strange moon wheel in the sea of consciousness like her.
Can you bring the dead back to life by turning the moon disk?
But when people from the Que clan described their magical powers, they seemed to be somewhat similar...
Could it be that she is really the reincarnation of the ancestor of the Que family?
Later, someone said that she was the ancestor of the Que family. Even Yuan Ying surrounded her ancestors every day and asked questions about this and that. Que Qingyue had nothing to say and could not argue with her identity.
Perhaps, she really has the ability to resurrect the dead, but she understands better than anyone that every time she uses this ability, there must be a price.
Everyone can jokingly call her the reincarnation of that ancestor, but she cannot let others know that she really has such an ability, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
I don't know if this moon disk has been in her sea of consciousness for a long time, but it seems like a fish in water. Every time she comes in, it will definitely shine and shine by three points.
He seemed to be intimate with her and quite spiritual.
Not annoying.
But the speed at which it devoured the sea of merit was terrifying, like a bandit breaking into a village or a wolf breaking into a flock of sheep, giving Que Qingyue a headache.
Que Qingyue no longer turns it.
But it coveted the sea of merit, and in order to eat the merit, one day it started to spit out things.
The first thing the moon wheel spit out was a bottle of fruit wine called Big Dream Reincarnation. You only need one merit to own it. Because the introduction was so magical, but after dreaming about reincarnation, the young and ignorant she was extremely curious and exchanged it for one merit. come out.
What she wanted to do was just watch and drink, and experience it.
Little did she know that the wine was not for drinking at all. She took it out and transformed it directly into her stomach. She fell asleep for a day and a night and had a strange dream. Instead of dreaming about the previous life of the ancestor of Quemen, she dreamed of a strange world.
I practiced piano at the age of nine, and showed my talents at the age of thirteen. I became famous on the Internet when I played the guzheng at the age of fifteen. The sound of the piano is so beautiful, and the person who plays the piano is even more beautiful. I was signed by an entertainment company at the age of sixteen. I sweat every day under the guidance of several teachers. She practiced singing, practicing her body, practicing her manners, practicing her acting skills, and then she continued to perform on the stage. Everyone under the lights cheered her crazy, until she died unexpectedly at the age of nineteen...
A life that was colorful and ended abruptly, just like I had experienced it before.
When Que Qingyue woke up, the doctor was pricking her finger with an needle to wake her up. It was really painful.
The world in Kemeng is such an interesting place.
Endless aftertaste.
The Great Dream of Reincarnation really lives up to its reputation.
Because of this, she knew one thing clearly.
People have previous lives, and life is reincarnated.
Because after waking up from the dream, she had the ability to see the merits of others. What does this mean?
It meant that she suddenly understood why some people were born into poor families, others were born into wealthy families, and countless people complained about injustice, but no one could explain it.
Until the merit value is clearly displayed there, and only she sees it.
She observed many babies.
If the merit value does not reach five, he cannot even become a human being, he can only be an animal.
If you reach fifty, you are likely to die young when you are born; if you reach one hundred or more, you can only be born into a poor family.
If you reach 500, you can still have enough food and clothing.
Under eight hundred, all are ordinary people. Only around one thousand can they enter a well-off family and have sufficient food and clothing.
Only those who have accumulated more than one thousand merits will form a lake of merit and can join the ranks of landlords and rich people. Only those who have accumulated more than one thousand merits can enter a famous family.
Those who are above five thousand can be ranked among the nobles, and those who are above eight thousand are the prince's grandson. After tens of thousands, he is the True Dragon Emperor, descending to earth with great power.
Although she has never seen a real dragon, she can roughly predict it based on the number of merits. In fact, among ordinary people, there are very few people with more than a thousand merits.
And few people will accumulate these, and they are all slowly consumed.
Over the years in Rakshasa City, Prefect Zhou had taken good care of her and had no shortage of money. The Que family would send a large amount of precious medicinal materials, jade, gold and silver every year. It seemed that after being away for several years, she had not forgotten her "reincarnated" ancestor.
Of course, she also donated everything she earned, and now the sea of merit has accumulated eight thousand values.
If she is not consumed and reincarnated in the next life, she will at least be the eldest princess.
But this moon wheel tempted her every day, and every day it would produce something, which would induce her to use the sea of merit to buy it, and each item was ridiculously expensive.
Golden pear ointment, jade dates, fairy mushrooms, and yao grasses all cost her all her merit points to buy. In her imagination, they were sparkling and unlike ordinary things.
It's a pity that I met Que Qingyue, who was desperate for money.
Usually the moon wheel is spit out and swallowed again, and returns in vain.
However, sometimes it spits out something very cost-effective and interesting, and she has changed it three times over the years.
One was the box that Yuan Ying was carrying. It was made of unknown wood. It was all black and very tight. It seemed like the box was only the normal size, but the space inside was five times as big. Yuan Ying only knew that it was a gift from the Que family. She knew nothing about the Xuanmen treasure that came, and she believed it so firmly that she kept the box with her every day.
Coupled with her natural strength, she can carry hundreds of pounds of boxes without worries, and she always uses the things.
The other is an exquisite hidden weapon, only one hand long, called Soul-fixing Water. When it rotates, it can spray out a soul-fixing water, leaving people with no place to hide. If people get it, they will be confused and their souls will touch each other. When you arrive, your soul will be gone.
Unfortunately, there are usage restrictions and it can only be used three times. Que Qingyue has always kept it in her sleeve and has never used it once for self-defense.
The only thing left was a jar of tea, called Peiyuan tea. It was said to be the leaves of a certain Peiyuan fruit tree. As for what the Peiyuan fruit tree was, she didn't know. She only knew that the tea had the ability to strengthen the root and Peiyuan. Its effect is that drinking a glass of it when she is exhausted can quickly restore her energy. It is what she drinks when she is tired.
But just these three things cost her a thousand merits.
Que Qingyue glanced at what the moon wheel spit out today. There were three God-Destroying Nails. She didn't even need to look at them to know that they were something she could only afford if she lost her fortune.
Destroy God? What on earth is this moon wheel? Today there is a nail to destroy the gods, yesterday there was a pestle to exorcise demons, and a few days ago there was a shovel that leveled the world, killing all three realms, what a big appetite.
With a wave of her hand, Que Qingyue exited the state of contemplation, she wanted to be quiet.
As soon as he moved, he heard a noise outside, the carriage stopped, the car body swayed, and Que Qingyue supported the carriage with her hands.
"Yuan Ying, what's wrong?"
"Ancestor, we're here. Wow, there are so many people. We're early. The Fish and Dragon Caravan is loading goods. There are more than a hundred mules. Come down and take a look..."
"I know, what's the fuss about, what's so good about that mule."
Que Qingyue threw her hair that had fallen forward when the carriage shook violently behind her shoulders, straightened herself out, and then stepped out of the carriage after Yuan Ying put down the bench.
"Ancestor!"
"Hurry up, ancestor."
"Okay, my ancestors are screaming every day, it's so annoying..."
