In the mountains and forests.
Qin Luo stood there.
The firelight crashed into his arms.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Xiaotuanzi's head was buried in Qin Luo's arms, and her voice choked with sobs: "Boss, you clearly agreed to take me to the royal capital, why did you abandon me?"
Qin Luo rubbed Xiaotuanzi's head, "The king is in danger, and I may not be able to take care of you then."
Xiaotuanzi raised her head, she didn't shed tears at all, "Boss, I'm not afraid, I'm very powerful now, and I can also use Suzaku's magical power. If anyone dares to mess with me, I will burn him! If anyone dares to mess with you, I will burn him to death. he!"
Qin Luo had a smile in his eyes, "Don't always think about fighting and killing. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. We must punish evil and promote good, and we must not rely on strength to bully the weak."
"Know it!"
Xiaotuanzi nodded thoughtfully, "The greater the ability, the greater the ability."
Qin Luo didn't want Xiaotuanzi to follow him to the capital for adventure. He originally wanted her to follow Shitou back to the Ziyun Mountains, but she didn't expect that she still followed.
Xiaotuanzi climbed onto Qin Luo's shoulder. She took out the small red gourd in her pocket, held the gourd in both hands, and said with joy on her face: "Boss, thank you for the gift you gave me."
Qin Luo explained with a smile: "I have no money, so all I spent is your money. I bought the small gourd with your money. I will pay you back when I have money."
"Need not!"
Xiaotuanzi shook her head repeatedly and said in a clear voice: "Boss, you can use my money however you want. If it's not enough, I will set up a stall to make money."
"Hahaha."
Qin Luo was amused by Xiaotuanzi.
Xiaotuanzi shook her short legs. She tilted her head and said with confusion on her face: "Boss, why are you laughing?"
"nothing."
Qin Luo looked at Xiaotuanzi and said seriously: "You can't always rely on me. You have to learn to be down-to-earth. The road in the future may not be so easy."
"All right!"
Xiaotuanzi jumped off Qin Luo's shoulders, and her figure began to change. In the blink of an eye, she turned into a five or six-year-old girl, wearing a red dress. Her long fiery red hair was tied into a high ponytail with a red rope, and there was a wisp of red on top of her head. The hair is raised and swaying in the wind, looking playful and cute.
"Boss, do you think I'm down to earth?" Xiaotuanzi jumped on the ground with bare feet.
She danced and entertained herself.
Qin Luo noticed Xiaotuanzi's bare feet, "Let's go buy a pair of shoes in the nearby town."
"OK!"
Xiaotuanzi smiled happily.
"Choo Choo Choo!"
The little dumpling was jumping around on the fallen leaves, singing songs in her mouth. Qin Luo didn't like hearing her sing before, but although he can't say he likes it now, he misses her a little since he hasn't heard her chirping for a long time.
Qin Luo and the others walked out of the mountains and forests and came to a prosperous town in the evening. The streets were very lively.
The town is called Luliu Town.
Willow trees line the streets.
The breeze blew through the streets and catkins were flying.
The young Taoist priest and the little girl in red walked into the shoe store. Qin Luo picked up a pair of red cloth shoes suitable for the little girl. He asked with a smile: "Madam boss, how much do these shoes cost?"
The middle-aged woman said enthusiastically: "Taoist Priest, these little red shoes cost thirty cents."
"So expensive?"
Xiaotuanzi frowned.
The landlady winked and said, "Taoist priest, your girl is so beautiful. She will be even more beautiful wearing these shoes."
Xiaotuanzi looked at Qin Luo, "Boss, these shoes are so expensive. Besides, wearing shoes is not as comfortable as bare feet."
The proprietress of the shoe store said quickly: "This place is close to the capital, and the prices are very expensive. I see that you are from out of town, so I can give you a cheaper price, only twenty-five cents."
Qin Luo smiled and said softly: "I am a Taoist priest from Longhu Temple. I can help you write a charm to ward off evil spirits. Can you exchange these shoes?"
The middle-aged woman shook her head and said, "Taoist Master, we are very peaceful here. You can go to other stores to change."
"I'm barefoot and not afraid of shoes!"
Xiaotuanzi raised his head proudly.
Qin Luo knew that Xiaotuanzi was not willing to spend a lot of money to buy shoes, and he did not force her to buy shoes. He put the little red shoes back to their original place, bowed and said, "Sorry to bother you."
"fine."
The middle-aged woman smiled and shook her head.
Qin Luo continued shopping with Xiaotuanzi.
"Selling fairy tofu!"
"Three pennies a bowl!"
Loud shouts came from the street.
Xiaotuanzi's eyes lit up and she grinned, "Boss, let's try the fairy tofu."
"Are you willing to spend money on food?"
"hey-hey!"
Xiaotuanzi ran to the stall and took out six copper coins. "Boss, here are two fairy tofu!"
"Okay! Do you like spicy food?"
"I want it extra spicy."
“Are there gods in tofu?”
"Hahaha, little girl, this tofu was taught to us by gods, so it's called fairy tofu."
"That's it."
"You two gentlemen, please take a seat."
Qin Luo and Xiao Tuanzi were sitting on a bench on the street. The stall owner brought them two bowls of green fairy tofu, which contained various seasonings, herbs and folded ears.
Xiaotuanzi blinked, "Boss, this tofu is actually green!"
"It should be made of leaves."
“Slippery and delicious!”
The little dumpling ate it with gusto, "Boss, there must be more delicious food in the capital."
"possible."
Qin Luo smiled and nodded.
After eating the fairy tofu, Qin Luo and the others continued on their way. Xiaotuanzi saw a wine seller on the roadside. She raised the small gourd in her hands and said, "Boss, fill it up for me."
The bald middle-aged man looked at the little girl in red and couldn't help laughing: "Little girl, are you serious?"
"Children can't drink!"
Qin Luo said seriously.
The bald middle-aged man poured a bowl of wine and handed it to Qin Luo, "Taoist priest, our rice wine is very sweet and not intoxicating. Even children can drink it. You can try it."
Qin Luo took the bowl, took a sip, and said with a smile: "What the boss said is indeed true."
"I want to drink too!"
Xiaotuanzi held up a small gourd.
Qin Luo poured the unfinished rice wine in the bowl into Xiaotuanzi's gourd, "This is enough for you to drink."
Xiaotuanzi shook the small gourd filled with rice wine. She grinned and said, "Boss, how much does it cost?"
"I bought you this bowl of wine for free." The bald middle-aged man laughed.
Xiaotuanzi said with a serious expression: "The boss taught me not to take advantage."
"Then give me a penny."
"thank you boss."
Xiaotuanzi handed a copper plate to the bald middle-aged man. Then she picked up the gourd and took a sip of the rice wine. She suddenly smiled and said, "It's so sweet and delicious!"
Qin Luo smiled and joked: "If you eat less, you can buy a few more pairs of new shoes."
"I would rather not wear shoes and eat more delicious food." Xiaotuanzi stuffed the gourd. She shook the gourd and liked to hear the sound of the collision of wine.
Qin Luo took out the golden gourd and prepared to drink water. Xiaotuanzi raised her little gourd and said with a sweet smile: "Boss, let's touch one!"
"OK!"
Qin Luo lowered the gourd in his hand.
Boom!
The two gourds hit each other.
Bo!
Xiaotuanzi opened the gourd, she took a sip of wine and smiled from ear to ear, "It feels good!"
As night fell, Qin Luo and Xiaotuanzi left Luliu Town. They walked towards the capital of Daxia, with Qingfeng and Mingyue guiding them.
There is a plain near the capital of Daxia.
Late at night, Xiaotuanzi pointed into the distance, "Boss, that mountain is so high!"
Qin Luo stared at the shadow in the distance and whispered: "That's not a mountain, that's a city wall!"
"City wall?"
Xiaotuanzi's eyes widened.
When they arrived near the city wall, it was still dark, and there were two very long teams outside the city, one was a caravan and the other was ordinary people.
Qin Luo was at the back of the queue with Xiao Tuanzi. He found that there were immortal cultivators in the team. Even very powerful immortal cultivators had to queue up if they wanted to enter the city.
Xiaotuanzi stood in front of Qin Luo. She looked at the unreachable city wall and scratched her head, "Boss, why does this city wall need to be built so high?"
Qin Luo stared at the city wall. He could feel that the city wall was similar to the Zijin Bagua Furnace. It had extremely strong defensive power. "Probably to resist strong enemies."
"Can't we just fly there?"
Standing in front of Xiaotuanzi, the old man in brocade looked back with a smile, "The city wall of the royal capital has eight sides, which can withstand winds from all directions. Even the wind cannot cross the top of the city."
"real or fake!"
Xiaotuanzi was a little suspicious.
As he spoke, the rising sun pierced the clouds, and Xiaotuanzi saw a shadow covering the sky high on the city wall. She was all too familiar with that figure, "Suzaku?"
The old man in Jinyi smiled and said: "Little girl, I didn't expect you to know Zhuque. This door is the Zhuque Gate, but ordinary people cannot enter the city without applying."
Xiaotuanzi raised his head and said proudly: "We were invited by Her Royal Highness the Princess. If we didn't give her face, we wouldn't bother coming here."
"Disrespect, disrespect!"
Seeing Qin Luo's immortal demeanor, the old man in golden clothes quickly bowed his hands and said with a respectful expression: "I am Xie An from Jinling City. I have met the immortal master and the little fairy aunt."
Qin Luo smiled and returned the greeting, "No need to be polite, old gentleman. I am Qin Luo from Longhu Temple, and her name is Xiaotuanzi."
The old man in Jinyi said enthusiastically: "Master Immortal, I do business in the royal capital and have a house. If you don't mind it, you can stay at my house and rest."
"Thank you for your kindness, old man. We have a place to live." Qin Luo declined politely. He didn't want to cause trouble to the old man who met by chance.
The city gate opens.
People outside the city entered the city one after another.
There is also a Supreme Temple in the capital of Daxia, which is a place where people receive incense. On a high building deep in the Taoist temple, a girl in a purple skirt stands in front of the window. She plays a bamboo flute, and the melodious sound of the flute fills the Taoist temple. echoed in.
Huaying's long hair was tied up with peach branches. She put down her bamboo flute and watched the sun rise. She had not seen such bright sunshine for a long time, as if she had returned to the Dragon and Tiger Temple.
