On that night in early summer three years ago, she came to the human world after breaking through the layers of seals. Her cultivation was poor, and she was injured in a duel with a swordsman in green. This scene happened to be seen by a young man in the shadows. Go.
In her eyes, the young man's life is no different than an ant, and can be destroyed easily. But she didn't know whether it was because of the sword test appointment or because the young man foolishly let her lean on his back. In the end, she failed to make up her mind and just erased the young man's memory and left alone. Everything that happened that night... It just made him think it was just a dream.
She has traveled to the south of the Yangtze River, seen tender girls waiting for their beloved in the distance, and drank the warm tea like a water town. She once traveled through the yellow sand, saw the northwest sand roiling like the Yellow River, and tasted the strong wine like the flying sand. From south to north, from west to east, she walked through every corner of this land.
People in the water town are always as gentle as rain; people in Saibei always have a mind as broad as the desert. In the Miao villages, people have the most primitive and direct personalities, daring to love and hate, while the people in the north have the warmest smiles.
She has seen the beauty of the world, and the warmth and true love in the world. Although bad things occasionally happen, she feels that this world is beautiful. She also had to admit that she was greedy for the prosperity of the world.
But tonight, when she came to Yingyue Tower, she was intoxicated by the mellow fragrance of Yu Linling, but she never thought that she would meet that silly boy from back then. It was so rare that she never met him again in life.
"This boy has grown a lot taller. This face, tsk tsk, it's a shame he didn't kill him in the first place, otherwise it would be such a pity."
She squinted her eyes and looked at Qing Ya, and then she habitually tested his cultivation. She thought he was just an ordinary person, but the result was beyond her expectation.
According to what they said, this kid is already in the foundation building stage? The girl next to him seems to be a little more advanced than him, which is interesting.
"If you don't mind the young master and the girl, why not get together with me?"
If Liu Bailu's voice is the melting ice and snow on the top of the mountain, it is the clear spring from the sky, then the voice heard by Qingya at this moment is the Manzhu Shahua blooming in the red lotus hell, just like lovers in the sky. The whisper in the ear instantly penetrates the soul of a person.
When Qing Ya came back to his senses, he saw a woman in red looking at him with a smile. He coughed twice to hide his embarrassment and walked over with Hua Qing'er.
"Thank you for your help, sister, otherwise I might have made a huge embarrassment today. Qingya, don't you think so? Qingya? Huh?"
Hua Qing'er was thanking her, but she turned around and saw Qing Ya staring blankly at the face of the woman in red, as if she had lost her soul.
It came again and again. He didn't know what it means to look at no evil. He kept staring at pretty girls when he saw them.
In fact, this time Qing Ya really didn't look at her because of her beauty, although her appearance was indeed hard to look away from.
Three years ago, one night he went out to buy supper for Hua Qing'er, but for some reason, he fell asleep on the street. It was only after Hua Qing'er came out to look for him that he woke him up.
In a daze, Qingya remembered that he had had a bizarre dream, but after he woke up, he could not remember it clearly. He only vaguely remembered that someone was flying in the sky, the dazzling lights collided with each other, there was a red shadow, and he was facing death. of fear.
Three years later, Qingya's originally vague dream had been completely forgotten, but tonight's encounter made Qingya think of the red shadow in that dream again.
"May I ask the girl's name? Have we met somewhere?"
Qingya looked into her eyes, feeling a little uneasy. Her eyes were like the abyss of hell. Qingya couldn't see his own shadow in her eyes.
"Do you men always ask this when you see a beautiful girl? Your little sister is still watching from the side."
Suddenly realizing his rudeness, Qingya quickly lowered his head, not daring to look directly into her eyes.
"No, girl, I always feel like I have seen you somewhere, as if I was in a dream." Qingya lowered his head and explained hurriedly, but he looked more like a follower. Hua Qing'er beside him was no longer there. Knowing how to save this embarrassing situation, I really want to shout, "I am not in the same group as this stupid boy."
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore, look at your face, it's redder than this mahogany wine table."
The woman in red picked up the wine in the cup and drank it all in one gulp. She looked towards the center of the dance floor and said, "How can a weak woman like me do this pot throwing trick? I was lucky enough to win a few games before, and then I have to hand it over." Give it to the young master."
"No problem." Qingya agreed. Such a game is too simple for practitioners who know how to control objects.
The game naturally ended meaninglessly. When the thick stack of silver notes was brought to the three people, although Qingya knew that these princes and nobles were rich, he did not expect them to be so rich.
It's just a game for daily entertainment. The final accumulated amount of the prize pool has reached one hundred thousand taels of silver. In Qiantang, the average family's annual expenditure is only one hundred taels, so it is expected that they spend a lot of money.
The woman in red put down the wine glass in her hand, lowered her eyebrows, and said calmly without even looking at the pile of banknotes: "You played this game, just take the money."
One hundred thousand taels of silver, in her eyes, was like rubble on the street.
Qingya looked at Hua Qing'er, but found that she was also looking at him. They looked at each other for a moment, and the two of them smiled knowingly. Then Qingya replied: "Thank you for your kindness, girl, but the money is enough for cultivators like us. Blindly pursuing external things will only make you sink deeper and deeper into the world. Please keep this money, girl."
"Since you don't want it, let it go wherever it should go." The woman in red put down her wine glass, stood up, and walked slowly to the window with light steps.
Qing Ya also stood up, and then he realized that she was actually a forehead taller than him. Qingya couldn't help but tiptoe, and then he reached a height similar to hers.
Seeing Qing Ya's actions, the woman in red couldn't help but chuckled twice: "Silly boy, in two years, you will be taller than me."
While speaking, she slowly waved her fingers a few times, and the stack of banknotes on the table flew out of the window like a song and dance.
Then she retracted her finger, and the flying banknotes in the night sky instantly exploded into a ball of fireworks. For a few moments, only ashes were left and were annihilated on the lake.
One hundred thousand taels of silver vanished into ashes in the blink of an eye.
"you……"
Before Qing Ya could stop him, the banknotes had been burned.
"Alas" Qingya sighed deeply.
"Didn't you say that these are just external things? Why are you sighing? You haven't mastered your cultivation yet." The woman in red picked up the wine glass and looked at Qingya quietly.
"Young lady has misunderstood. My cultivation is superb, so these coins will naturally be of no use to you. But I could have used these coins for charity and distributed them to poor people. Wouldn't that be a good thing?"
"Yeah, yeah," Hua Qing'er nodded obediently and agreed.
"Oh? I didn't expect you to be so old-fashioned and compassionate at such a young age. It's a pity that I hate good people the most."
She held the wine glass and leaned close to Qingya, whispering in his ear: "Besides, once these heavy-numbered banknotes are circulated in the market, the amount is so huge, I'm afraid it won't be long before the price of goods in this small place is It's going to collapse. When the time comes, will you say you saved them or harmed them?"
Originally, Qing Ya saw her approaching him and subconsciously hid back, but after hearing these words, Qing Ya straightened his body excitedly.
The woman in red had just finished speaking and before she had time to dodge, she saw Qingya's head quickly leaning towards her. She only felt her teeth hit something, and then she saw Qingya covering his forehead and falling backward.
