Chapter 127 Means
Xin Youtao became increasingly pessimistic about the future of the small practice group at Zhiyong.
After the day's practice, he stayed alone. On the pretext of discussing with Xiaoqiu how to write a letter to his sister, he sent the bald man away, "Go and pick some of the most beautiful flowers. I'll ask my sister to buy you five large flowers." Mirror."
The bald man flew away happily, and Xin Youtao said seriously: "You are pushing everyone too hard. Shen Shang is both the eldest son of Shen and a hundred-year-old Taoist priest with the seventh level of breathing. As long as we are a little more serious, even if we have talismans and spells , there is still no chance of winning. I am the kind of person who likes to make trouble. I didn’t expect that even you would be confused. I can guarantee that the people in Muma Valley will retreat soon and even report. I guess the first one will be Zhou Ping, and then It’s Xiao Qingtao, and then Guan Shenyue and his two followers. In the end, only I will stand by your side.”
"There is also my mother." Xiaoqiu reminded.
"She only causes trouble, and the more she helps, the more trouble she gets." Xin Youtao lowered his voice, ran to the door and looked outside for a few times, "I am the daughter of the Yang family, and I do have the strength to compete with Shen Shang, but her temperament will always lead to failure. If things don't work out well, you can use her, but you can't count on her."
"Using her? I'm not the kind of person who can be taken advantage of casually. Besides, she was sent to the hospital because she clearly has a very bad relationship with the family." Xiao Qiu shook her head.
Xin Youtao sneered, "It seems that you haven't really understood the characteristics of the family. Every member of the family is important. They will test you and punish you, but they will still accept you in the end, as long as you are willing to repent. The Daotong family No exception. I was sent to the hospital just to let her experience the pain of being away from the family. Sooner or later, the Yang family will welcome her happily. You have to capture her. Seize the opportunity and bring you with her when she returns to the family."
Xiaoqiu put away her smile, "I still remember you said that the prince will not challenge ordinary people, let alone make friends. The Shen family doesn't even bother to seek revenge from me. They just want to leave me to Shen Geng."
Xin Youtao blushed because his predictions were not accurate. He, the prince of Xijie Kingdom, ended up getting mixed up with a group of "trash". Shen Zhun did not let go of the young man from Yelin Town, and almost made Mu Xingqiu and Shen Hao become possessed.
"That's just a general rule, it's not accurate every time."
"You misunderstood me, and you are absolutely right. So where do I get the chance to make friends with me? She is just playing, and will quit when she gets tired of it."
Xin Youtao wrote a letter, and after a while he said: "It seems that you really don't understand. Let me give you a clear reminder: If you want to go further on the road of spiritual practice, you'd better find a way to form a mortal relationship with Yang Qingyin , with her status, she can bring you a lot of help, some of which Xi Jieguo cannot buy even if she has money. Anyway, the relationship must be cut off, and it will not affect your relationship with Qin Lingshuang.
"
Yang Qingyin's fate had long been promised to the Shen family. But this is her privacy, and Xiaoqiu will not disclose it to outsiders. Moreover, he hates Xin Youtao's "reminder", so he said, "Is this also the royal family's way of solving problems?"
"Of course." Xin Youtao put down his brush and widened his eyes. It seemed that Xiaoqiu's question was very naive, "Even for the Holy Emperor himself. Marriage is the most important means to ensure status and solve problems. When my sister was five years old, she was betrothed to a prince from the Holy Talisman royal family. She was not satisfied. In the past few years, I have been trying to break off the engagement, hoping to marry one of the crown prince’s sons, who may inherit the throne in the future.”
"What about you, are you going to take this road too?"
"I first need to condense my energy into an elixir, preferably to reach the realm of dining, and then go to the Longbin Club in Huangjing to learn talismans. My sister is trying to get a marriage for me. In the future, I will marry the daughter of a great talisman master. She will be here this year. It should be... five or six years old. There may be changes in the middle. In short, the person I want to marry will also be of great help to improve my status in Longbinhui. "
Xiaoqiu was really surprised, not because the royal family used marriage to achieve their goals, but because of Xin Youtao's indifferent tone, as if this was an ordinary thing. Yang Qingyin felt a little rebellious, but that was all. No matter how arrogant I was, she just shed tears in front of a young man she didn't know well.
"The only difference is that my sister and I are direct descendants of the royal family. We can choose to run our business slowly, but you can only rely on luck. A Taoist girl is temporarily reduced to a useless person. This is your luck and your opportunity. If If you don't hold on tightly, you will regret it for the rest of your life." Xin Youtao said more and more seriously, "Forging a mortal relationship with me will solve the threat of Shen Shang if you are close, and it will help you practice if you are far. This is your only way out."
"I won't do this." Xiaoqiu also became serious, "Because I don't think the Mu behavior in Yelin Town is any worse than that of the Pangshan Daomen family. I want to go my own way. To please me is to admit that I have a low status, and It creates a knot in your heart, just like you re-blessed the Fire God Seal."
"Haha, you are still too immature..." Xin Youtao dipped his pen in his hand and continued to write. After a few lines, he raised his head and said: "There are just two of us. Tell me the truth. If I like you, you What should I do? Should I seize the opportunity?”
"Write your letter." Xiaoqiu said stiffly.
Xin Youtao laughed twice. Just as Xin Youtao was about to make a long speech, the bald man flew back with a few flowers in his mouth and three strands of hair. He was indeed picking flowers very seriously, and there were all kinds of red, white, blue and yellow. , are all the gorgeous wild flowers that are special to Muma Valley. He placed the flowers on the table and looked down at the letter written by Xin Youtao.
"You didn't write about the mirror, don't think I can't read. When I was in school, Mr. Qin always praised me for being smart."
"I haven't finished yet." Xin Youtao picked up the pen and wrote a few lines, "Are you satisfied this time? Five of the best bronze mirrors in Xijie City."
"Satisfied, satisfied." The bald man smiled and put a few flowers on the edge of the letter paper, "Write a few more sentences, saying that Pangshan Head Mu Songxuan presented seven famous flowers from the Fairy Valley to Her Royal Highness the Princess, wishing the Princess eternal youth and eternal beauty. Brother Xiaoqiu, can you help me think of other words that are more appropriate?"
Xiaoqiu said in surprise: "I can't even think of the words you said. When did the Horse-Trampling Valley become the Fairy Valley?"
"She is a princess..." The bald man winked at Xiaoqiu, indicating that he should say more good things.
Xin Youtao smiled and shook his head, wrote down what the bald man said on the paper, thinking that he would have to write another letter later to explain the origin of the "Pangshan Head".
Xin Youtao said goodbye. At the entrance of the valley, he said, "The current situation is exactly the opposite of the Jinghu Village Pavilion: you used to treat it as a game, but Shen Geng took it seriously; now we take it seriously, but Shen Shang only treats it as a game. In the end, the Shen family always has the final say. You can't win in a fight, so you have to find a way out of me."
In the eyes of the prince of Xijie, the whole world is a mountain with status as a stepping stone. When climbing up, you will always encounter countless conspiracies and tricks.
Many times he is right. Xiaoqiu admits this and is even a little grateful for Xin Youtao's reminder, but the prince's reminder is never simple. There are always a few unspoken words behind it. Xiaoqiu knows very well that the prince's real hope is that Pangshan disciple Mu Xingqiu can go back to Xijie City and go to the Imperial Capital with him.
Xiaoqiu turned around and saw the bald head playing with the horses. The horse-herding valley was lush and green, which was in stark contrast to the desolation outside the valley. Xiaoqiu was unwavering. He wanted to continue on the path of cultivation, to avenge Erliang one day and find out the secret of the disappearance of the residents of Yelin Town.
This sixteen-year-old boy was far more open-minded than his age. He had seen very little of the world, but partly because of luck and partly because of his good observation, he witnessed the most bizarre part of this world: as a prince and princess, respected as a disciple of Taoism, he, like the poor people in the border town, shouldered a burden that outsiders did not understand.
He had some ideas about cultivation and some understanding of the art of defying the heaven. What he wanted most now was someone who could tell him whether these ideas and understandings were correct.
On this ordinary evening, Xiaoqiu suddenly missed Fangfang very much. Even if it was just a rigid record in the book, she could give him some explanation.
After adding night food to the horses, Xiaoqiu returned to the room to sit in meditation. He tried to enter the state of meditation several times but failed.
The bald man standing on the table rarely interrupted Xiaoqiu when he was practicing. He said, "Xiaoqiu, are you worried?"
"Hmm?"
"You are thinking about Fangfang."
"What do you know?"
"I know everything. When we were eating together by the river, I thought that Xiaoqiu and Fangfang were a perfect match. Fangfang always secretly looked at you, as if you would disappear if she missed a glance. She thought that others didn't notice it, but I was secretly looking at her."
The bald man didn't have a strong sense of time. He talked about eating by the river as if it was yesterday, but it was actually a few years ago.
"You are getting better at talking - why did you secretly look at Fangfang?"
"I want to see her gap teeth. www.anscom "The bald man showed his teeth, "We are the only two with gap teeth, but it's a pity that she doesn't have it now."
"Fangfang." Xiaoqiu sighed. It was the day before yesterday that he didn't see Fangfang when he went to Laozu Peak. He didn't feel anything at the time, but now he felt regretful. His slow reaction was even inexplicable to him.
"Fangfang." The bald man also sighed, but he was thinking about something else, "Brother Xiaoqiu, do you think the princess will really give me the best mirror?"
Xiaoqiu did not answer because he was stunned by the scene in front of him. Bald man's mouth was actually smoking, but it was just a wisp. If they were not close, it would be hard to see.
Bald man saw it himself, jumped up a few feet and fell back, "Oh my God, I'm on fire, Brother Xiaoqiu, pour water on me."
Xiaoqiu knew that this was definitely not burning, and was about to ask, when a familiar voice came from the bald man's head, "Xiaoqiu, is that you? I have something to tell you."
It was Fangfang's voice, Xiaoqiu was even more surprised.
