After climbing over several mountains and wading through several rivers, we gradually reached the outskirts of Longxi, the capital of Fu'en County. The official road was densely populated, and occasionally we could see cultivators rushing on their way.
Longxi is an important trading town and is the only way to reach the stars in the south.
Yan Ci had some unanswered questions. He originally planned to go into the city to make plans, but unexpectedly, he accidentally got into a secluded path under a dangerous cliff.
After walking a hundred steps, the surrounding fields were filled with deep clouds and fog, making it difficult to distinguish between west and east. As we went deeper, the path suddenly opened in the middle.
There are few clouds in the sky, the frosty wind is getting tighter in the deep and distant valley, the flowers are all thin, and the water of a cold pool is deep and clear.
A little further away, a beautiful figure stands by the water, with green hair like a waterfall, and bright red feathers fluttering in the wind.
The wind moved his clothes, which also made his heart flutter. Yan Ci glanced away casually, but was so disturbed that he couldn't move his eyes away.
The red shadows swayed, the feathers fell gently on the flower trees, and the jade bones and ice muscles were soaked in the cold pool water.
In the wilderness, he unexpectedly bumped into a beautiful woman taking a bath. Yan Ci had no intention of peeking at her, but couldn't help but take another look.
The beauty turned around to play in the water, and happened to see Yan Ci's cat peeping outside a cluster of morning glories. She even heard a tut of praise. She was so frightened that her body trembled and she sank into the water.
It would be too cowardly to continue to wait and see, and Yan Ci needs to retreat quickly.
The beauty's red lips parted, and she said coldly: "If you hold the Greatest Bead, you are like a beast in clothes. Be careful and look at it with a needle eye!"
When Yan Ci was about to leave, Shi Shiran turned around and said calmly: "Fairy, don't you think it's offensive to bathe in the open air?"
As he spoke, he sat on the ground and said with a strange smile: "If Yan is a thief who steals doors and picks locks for a living, he will never have the kindness to let the fairy look at his clothes."
A person from a good family shouldn't talk and act like this. Yan Ci also felt a little embarrassed to say such dirty words, but since the person taking the bath was Ren Hongxiao, he naturally had to treat it differently.
That year in the ancient city of Menglu, Yan Ci almost became a short-lived ghost, especially because of the wisp of soul-returning aura that made her die. At this time, she was looking after the beauty's clothes with kindness. This was definitely because Ren Hongxiao burned high incense afterwards.
Fairy Yin Huan has never encountered such an embarrassing thing. The feather clothes were so close, but she couldn't muster the courage to get them. She couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry.
Yan Ci smiled like a bunch of morning glory that was about to bloom, and suggested: "Instead of just staring, it's better to make a deal."
In this situation, any choice is better than staring at each other blankly. Ren Hongxiao put her chin close to the water and nodded numbly.
Yan Ci said: "In addition to strengthening the soul, what other wonderful uses does the spirit of returning to the underworld have? I heard that the fairy is proficient in the art of disguise as a ghost. Can you give me some advice?"
After hearing this, Ren Hongxiao sneered again and again. She absolutely relied on the two of them, so how could she spread the secret skills to others!
Yan Ci didn't know its importance, and waited desperately for answers, but there was no movement for a long time.
Suddenly, Ren Hongxiao said: "My aunt is not in the mood to talk now, please wait slowly."
"As soon as the fairy said it, Yan left immediately." Yan Ci patiently advised, "It's cold water. If you soak in it for a long time, you might hurt your bones."
After being reminded, Ren Hongxiao felt that the pond water was cold to the bone, and she heard Yan Ci leisurely say: "A person is in the water, and his clothes are on the shore. If a bird suddenly comes and takes the clothes away, isn't it a bit unlucky?"
Ren Hongxiao looked at the evil smile on his face and wanted to tear out the mouth immediately. He also gouged out his eyes and cut off protruding things like his nose and ears.
The woman wanted to think about it, but she didn't dare to move at all. After a while, she felt like she was sitting in a secluded place with no one, closing her eyes, relaxing her body and breathing out her Qi.
Yan Ci suddenly changed from a gangster who cut paths to his protector, and he felt that he couldn't come back to his senses.
He has a thief's heart, but he doesn't have the courage. He can throw a few stones into the water to scare her, but he doesn't dare to do anything to the older girl.
Ren Hongxiao was bright-eyed and knew that Yan Ci was bluffing. She opened her eyes and said, "Since the deal can't be reached, I won't accompany you." After saying that, she stretched her arms and stretched herself, trying to surface.
Yan Ci suddenly panicked and felt relieved.
Ren Hongxiao had a slight smile on her lips, raised her chest and exposed her gooseneck, and stood up slowly, just like a hibiscus in clear water, bright and graceful.
Yan Ci screamed strangely and ran away. His escape speed was no slower than that of Rabbit's grandfather, and Ren Hongxiao's laughter floated faintly in his ears.
※
In the years after leaving Tongchenyuan, Yan Ci did not stay in Yunmiao Mountain to practice. In other words, he never returned to Luojia Mountain before breaking through. Instead, he had been living in seclusion near Xishui Village at the foot of Coiyi Mountain.
Qing Ming has a very strict tone. Except for the past events he mentioned on the Tonghuai Islands, no outsider knows the secrets related to the Yan family.
Yan Ci knew the truth, and since he no longer had to worry about the safety of his relatives, he became more committed to Taoism. However, he never forgot the kindness of his parents in raising him.
When he visited Xishui Village for the first time, there was an extremely familiar rural atmosphere there. Unfortunately, he left home when he was young, and his memory of his relatives and friends has gradually become blurred.
The same goes for his parents, who were resurrected due to family failure. As they grew older, they were immersed in the warmth of their other children feeding back their children, and gradually forgot that there was once a rebellious son wandering away.
When Yan Ci saw it, he was happy but also sad. From then on, he silently performed filial piety and stayed with his loved ones secretly for ten years.
After advancing to the stage of infant transformation, he saw that the world was becoming more and more difficult, and he couldn't help but become obsessed with hoeing the strong, helping the weak, and providing relief to the poor. His footprints were all over the hundreds of miles around Yingge City, but only those who were punished and those who received favors I have never seen its true appearance.
During this period, Yan Ci went to Qiu Mang Mountain to sweep tombs. On his way back, he met Huangfu Yong in the pine forest outside the Qing Emperor's Mausoleum.
The Huangfu family traveled thousands of miles to kill him, but Yan Ci happily accepted it. Based on the information he was asked, he transferred to Longxi City, concealed his true face, and sneaked into its secret stronghold to hunt down his old enemy.
At that time, Huangfu Zhen'er was present. Because he could not withstand the magic method, he begged for mercy. He said that many babies in the clan were suffering from strange diseases and the medicine and stones were ineffective. Because the wisdom water stored in previous years had been exhausted, they had to go to the Star-Zhaing Plain to ask for water.
An erotic dream when he was young made Yan Ci feel a different kind of feeling for Huangfu Zhen'er. Looking at her pitiful appearance, he finally felt soft and let her go.
After this incident, the Huangfu family couldn't guess which demon star they had offended, and because they were not reused by Xi Yao in the Xuan Bing Territory, they hurriedly evacuated all strongholds in Zhaixingyuan and the whole family hunkered down.
Yan Ci was favored by the Immortal Official of Deli City and found several boxes of gold and silver, as well as some real estate deeds and land stubs, so he directly tore down the old wall, bought a nearby prosperous shop and renovated a new courtyard, and recruited a group of honest beggars who had no food and clothing. Starting from a regular business, he became a wealthy behind-the-scenes boss.
Wherever there are people, there is a market, and wherever there is a market, there is Yuelai Inn.
Yuelai Inn is a product of Jianghu, and is born with the feeling of being brothers all over the world.
Different from the usual places of chaos, right and wrong, Longxi Yuelai Inn has been open for less than a year, but it is famous for its luxury and expensiveness.
Longxi City has a square outline. Not only is its shape complete, but its business district can also be considered mature.
Yuelai Inn is located next to the shopping mall on the south axis, covering an area of 88 acres, with Chunqiao Garden as its backdrop. The building decoration is luxurious and elegant, and the courtyard layout emphasizes natural interest and is more elegant and lively.
The people who come and go here to enjoy themselves are often well-fed people with nothing to do, especially dandy boys and beauties. Occasionally, you can see well-dressed celebrities or energetic handsome men coming to meet you.
Later, a sage said, "The wine and meat in the noble family smells bad, and the bones on the road are frozen to death." This saying is also a portrayal of the current world. The rich and powerful families are indulged in extravagant lives. Men have no moral integrity and women have no chastity. They usually show off and fight for wealth. The daily cost of meals is tens of thousands of dollars, which is detrimental to the world.
As the saying goes, if there is good in the world, there will be no good in the world. Pan Shenglin led the way in extravagant indulgence and was willing to set an example of evil. It is a strange thing that the royal family has not given up the country to others despite years of force.
The mountains and rivers are in crisis, but many youthful ambitions that will never grow old are revived.
The owner of the inn, Zhang Kuang, has a reputation for being arrogant but not arrogant. Not only is he not arrogant, he also has a heart to benefit the people.
It throws away the daily revenue and other costs such as labor, and uses all the remaining money to help the people, such as paving roads, building bridges and ditches, donating food, clothing, and opening porridge shops, reclaiming wasteland, conducting free clinics, collecting corpses, burying bones, and building porridge shops. When it comes to building stilt houses, wherever there are obstacles in people's livelihood, we want to help.
As a result, the inn has a high reputation among people and can be regarded as a safe place in troubled times.
However, in the eyes of those who are familiar with the matter, the peace in the inn is not due to any arrogant act of righteousness, nor is it the fact that the inn faces the North District Government Office diagonally, it is the facade of Longxi.
The truth of the matter is that there is a cultivator behind Yuelai. This suspicion can be seen from the unfamiliar ingredients in Shiweitang, and can be confirmed by the sporadic green plants beside the Fountain of Youth and outside Chuihong Tower.
Those grasses and flowers are lightly wrapped in the haze, and they are absolutely extraordinary. They should be spiritual things that grow quietly in the mountains and wilderness and can only be picked by cultivators.
Zhang Kuang was born into a famous family. He had experienced a wealthy and romantic life in his early years and was well aware of the tricks of those rich and handsome men.
His ancestors were honest and upright, but were deposed because they did not tolerate the dark political style. As a result, their family declined and they moved to Longxi City.
At the beginning of the war, Longxi was looted by the rebels. Zhang Kuang's wife and children were separated, and his home was burned. He eventually ended up living on the streets and became a lonely refugee.
When I was at the end of my rope, I suddenly heard that a shop owner was recruiting workers on the street.
Zhang Kuang tried his best, and with a good calligraphy and a good abacus, he easily won the title of shopkeeper. Even the name of Yuelai Inn was inscribed by him himself.
The store owner was a generous person with no boundaries. He briefly planned the future, left a huge sum of money for him to squander, and then left without hearing anything from him.
In just one day, Zhang Kuang went from a homeless man sleeping on the street to a rich man with millions of dollars. He was so excited that he couldn't sleep for several nights.
God has mercy on the grass, and the world is clear again. After experiencing many ups and downs, Zhang Kuang realizes the meaning of life. From then on, he is determined to build a unique business empire to repay the kindness of his shop owner.
On this day, I entertained several princes and grandsons who spent money like water, and while cursing the prodigal things arrogantly, I returned to Chuihong Tower to take a rest.
The building is elegantly decorated and was the owner's old hotel. In the Nuan Pavilion, there is tongue-shaped bud tea, which is yellow and emerald. Take one petal and brew it. The tea soup is gorgeous, and the tea mist is filled with flower patterns, which is very magical.
Zhang Kuang especially loves the taste. Taking a sip, your soul feels like it is soaked in warm water, which is extremely beneficial. "Hey" Take another sip and feel exhausted.
Suddenly someone chuckled in my ear and said, "Please make me a cup for Yan."
As soon as I saw it, I saw a person lying half on the wicker chair over there, using his hands as a pillow. He had a pale face and half-worn clothes. He was the owner of the shop.
