Watching Lin Xixi leave, Su Xing looked at the blue and clear sky outside the courtyard.
In fact, even without Lin Xixi's request, he would probably go to Pinhu.
As for the reason, two young supervisors from the Supervision Department once brought him a message. Following the Chang An Sect's attack on Heqing County, the Monitoring Department re-investigated this mysterious and low-key sect.
I found some strangely disappearing or dead mortal villages and towns, and there seemed to be traces of the Chang Dark Cult around them. Just like the Su Clan Temple this time.
The young supervisor simply nodded, but Su Xing already took it to heart. In order to lure this mysterious sect to take action, he will also lead the dragon species all the way to Pinhu.
The difference is that the "Dragon Lady" may not actually be brought to Pinhu.
On the second day, Su Xing, who was ready to leave, took Lin Xixi to Heqing Academy.
This time, there were not many people present, only an old man with white hair and good spirits was accompanying him. He was the dean of Heqing Academy.
After burning the paper money in his hand, Su Xing stood up, leaving only Lin Xixi kneeling in front of Old Master Lin's grave, her shoulders twitching slightly.
"So immortals can also burn paper money?" The dean of Heqing Academy, surnamed Yan, said casually after watching this scene.
"Maybe it's useful? Maybe it's just comfort? But it's enough." Su Xing replied calmly.
Dean Yan didn't seem to have the same awe that ordinary people had for immortals. He just nodded slightly when he heard this.
After Lin Xixi stood up with red eyes, he spoke:
"Mr. Lin planted a peach tree here two or three years ago and took care of it. Perhaps she anticipated her end at that time.
Before she left, she told me that she did not want to be buried in the Lin family's ancestral grave, let alone a grand burial. I just want to be buried where she taught and educated people.
All I can do is fulfill her last wish and bury her here. "
As he spoke, Dean Yan turned around, his straight back slightly bent, suddenly looking a little more senile, and slowly walked away.
Su Xing and Lin Xixi bowed slightly behind them. Teaching women is not an easy task in Dayu. After his death and being buried in the academy, there was even greater resistance.
Dean Yan did not mention a word about his help to Mr. Lin, but his calm words could not conceal his sadness at the passing of his close friend.
After Lin Xixi stood up, she carefully walked around Mr. Lin's grave, leaned over, and broke off a peach branch.
The peach branches are dotted with green leaves, but there are no flowers. Su Xing took it, and the hibiscus spiritual energy poured in. The broken peach branches were glowing with life, as if they were still growing.
According to the "Dragon Girl", to see the remnants of the departed soul, a primer is needed, and this peach tree planted and cultivated by Mr. Lin himself is it.
After taking the peach branch from Su Xing's hand, Lin Xixi stared blankly at her grandma's tombstone.
Su Xing did not urge her. In the end, Lin Xixi turned around on her own, with a gentle smile on her face that was still stained by tears, and said:
"Let's go."
"Yeah." Su Xing nodded and walked forward.
Lin Xixi caught up from the side, holding Su Xing's arm with one hand and holding a peach branch in the other.
...
The second day.
Now that he had decided to take the dragon species to the lake to taste dragon transformation, Su Xing did not delay.
Early in the morning, I said goodbye to the two young prisoners, left Heqing County, and prepared to set off for Pinhu.
In the attack on Heqing County, Chang Anjiao mainly targeted the county government and several wealthy households. Coupled with the arrival of the Supervisor Tiansi and the government soldiers, the people were reassured. A few days have passed, and the county has gradually returned to prosperity.
A few people were walking in a busy market. Lin Xixi was holding a fish basket beside Su Xing, which was normal. However, a strong figure following behind him was very conspicuous.
It was Taoist Catfish who was given the demon-suppressing talisman. He was of low level, had incomplete transformation, and his whole head still looked like a catfish. So Su Xing asked him to wrap himself in a long scarf.
However, its tall figure and hooded head are still very eye-catching.
Taoist Catfish didn't seem to take it seriously. He followed Su Xing and said with a cautious smile:
"Sir, we really don't want to take the water route. The land route is much farther than the water route."
He is a catfish, so naturally he doesn't want to take the land route.
Su Xing had his own plan, ignored him, walked through the crowd and walked out of the city.
On the street, small vendors were enthusiastically selling their products. Most of the oncoming people saw the strong figure of Catfish Taoist from a distance, and most of them avoided the road.
"Fortune telling, fortune telling~ Don't ask for money!"
However, there happened to be someone who seemed to have no eyes and bumped into the three of them from the side.
Taoist Catfish rolled his eyes, and with some intention of pleasing Su Xing, he stepped forward without hesitation and stretched out his thick arms to stop the man who bumped into him.
"Hey! Who are you? Don't you have eyes? What if you bump into my master!?"
Taoist Catfish was yelling loudly when he heard Lin Xixi's voice next to him:
"He seems to be a blind man, Old Catfish... let him go quickly."
When Taoist Catfish heard this, in his opinion, Lin Xixi and Su Xing were Taoist lovers. Not daring to neglect at that moment, he quickly released his grip on the other person's clothes and said:
"Madam is kind enough to let you go today."
A closer look revealed that the other person's eyes had been closed and were slightly swollen and blue. He looked like he was really blind. He couldn't help but said:
"How dare you run around alone and tell fortunes to others? What the hell!?"
"Don't be rude." Perhaps because of hearing the word "ma'am" just now, Lin Xixi's ears suddenly turned red, but her face still had a serious expression.
"Yes! Yes!" Taoist Catfish immediately said with a smile and took a few steps back.
At this moment, the blind man blocking the road seemed to have reacted. He tilted his ears and said softly:
"Thank you, Miss, for rescuing me. I'm a villain, but I'd like to do some math for you to repay you for the rude collision."
Su Xing's eyes moved slightly. Just now Taoist Catfish clearly said "ma'am", but the blind man still called him miss.
The two are not married, which is a more appropriate term, but I don't know if it is just a coincidence.
If you look closely, you will see that this blind man claims to be a fortune teller, but he is not wearing a Taoist robe. Wearing only a slightly greasy black shirt. In addition, only the long flag held in his right hand can reveal his fortune-telling identity.
The long flag is hung on a bamboo pole, and the place where it touches the ground is covered with mud, as if it is usually used as a walking stick.
The flag cloth is overall white and has some wear and tear, but it is still clean. There is a line of large characters written on the front:
"Without eyes, we can see past lives."
Taoist Catfish obviously also saw these words and looked the blind man up and down. I couldn't help but sneer:
"You human race... no, our human race has a saying that big talk means nothing, and that's you!
You can't even afford a cheap set of Taoist uniforms, and you still make money by imitating other people's fortune telling? "
The blind man in front of him was a little reckless at first, and then he was almost grabbed by his clothes by Taoist Catfish, and now he was making fun of him.
He didn't have any special expression, he wasn't impatient or irritable, and he spoke very calmly just now, but he seemed a little extraordinary.
Seeing that the blind man in front of her was still stubbornly blocking the way, Lin Xixi's eyes moved slightly, and she stepped forward and asked:
"That's troublesome...I don't know what to call you."
