Chapter 598 Changle Sect
The young man in front of him smiled, staring at the wood carvings on the wooden ox, his eyes shining.
Xu Hei didn't expect that after nearly twenty years, he would meet an acquaintance in the distant Le Country.
Xiao Chou's cultivation has now transformed, reaching the early stage of the Nascent Soul, and has become a peerless master, but his temperament seems to have not changed.
"Excuse me, boss, how much do these wood carvings cost?" Xiao Chou smiled.
Xu Hei looked at him calmly and said, "Sorry, I won't sell them."
"No..." Xiao Chou was a little anxious, he said, "Boss, I like these wood carvings very much, as long as you are willing to sell them, the price is negotiable."
As he said, he was about to take out the silver.
"Although I won't sell them, I can give them to someone who is destined to be with me." Xu Hei picked up the black and white dog and put it in Xiao Chou's hand, "This dog is for you."
Xiao Chou was overjoyed, took the dog and looked at it from left to right, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and carefully put the dog away.
"Thank you, boss!" Xiao Chou bowed his hands, hesitated for a moment, took out a jade talisman, and said with a smile: "In this case, I will also give you something. This talisman is called the Peaceful Amulet. It is also handmade by me. It is not very useful, but a little token of my appreciation."
Xu Hei took the Peaceful Amulet in his hand and said with a smile: "Not bad."
"The road is long, see you later!"
Xiao Chou clasped his fists to Xu Hei, turned around and left, and walked into the crowd.
The streets were bustling with people coming and going.
No one noticed that two Yuanying-stage cultivators had made a transaction on the street, and the objects of the transaction were just two ordinary handmade products without any spiritual power fluctuations.
Xiao Chou left the city, took out the sculpture of Ergou, stared at it for a long time, and sighed.
"Isn't it him?"
With Xiao Chou's current consciousness, he had already found Xu Hei outside the two cities. He thought it was an old friend.
But when he got closer and observed, he found that he was completely different from the one in his memory. He was just an ordinary mortal carpenter.
Appearance can change, but temperament cannot.
However, this person's craftsmanship is quite exquisite. The carvings he made are lifelike, like living things, especially this dog, you can even hear the barking of the dog. He couldn't help it and wanted to buy it. As for the reason...
"Recently, the national teacher girl doesn't like immortal magic weapons, but likes the works of art in the mortal world."
"Give it to the national teacher girl as a gift."
The figure of the beautiful national teacher flashed in Xiao Chou's mind, and he smiled excitedly. He immediately flashed and flew towards the imperial city of Leguo.
…………
Xu Hei stopped at a corner of the wall, holding a piece of wood and a knife in his hand, and sawdust fell.
After wandering in the world for many years, Xu Hei's temperament has changed too much. He has been completely immersed in the world of mortals, learned the joys, sorrows, anger and happiness of mortals, and communicated with people. He is no longer as indifferent as before.
Even Xiao Chou didn't recognize him when he saw him, and regarded him as an ordinary person.
"What a pity, the newly carved Ergou has been given away."
Xu Hei had no choice but to carve another one.
During this period, some children passed by and watched curiously. Occasionally, passers-by would stop and want to spend money to buy a piece of wood carving, but Xu Hei refused them all.
Time flies, and before you know it, it is almost dusk.
At night, lanterns are hung high, the city is brightly lit, and the sound of stringed instruments and wind instruments can be heard in the pavilions. Beautiful women sing and dance, and men drink and have fun.
The national style of Leguo is to enjoy life in time. Even at night, many people stay up all night.
The reason is that in addition to the strong national strength of Leguo, the missionary work of Changle Religion is also the focus.
In the belief of Changle Religion, life and death are not the end, but fun is the goal.
Towards the end of the night, Xu Hei is still carefully carving his Ergou. When the last pair of dog eyes appear, it is considered a complete success.
He put Er Gou on the back of the wooden ox, and Er Gou immediately ran back and forth. It looked like a wood carving, but it was actually a sophisticated puppet.
"Let's stop here today." Xu Hei said.
He dragged the wooden ox and horse and walked towards the outside of the city on the brightly lit streets.
Red lights and green willows, singing and dancing.
Xu Hei walked on the bustling streets. Although he had no spiritual consciousness, he could clearly hear the conversations in every house and feel what was happening everywhere.
A drunk fell to the ground, mumbling the words of the little girl Zhenrun, with a satisfied smile on his face. But soon, the drunk began to vomit, and soon, he turned pale and stopped breathing.
A man in black quickly flashed over, raised his hand and swung a fireball, burning the drunk's body to ashes, leaving no dust.
When passers-by nearby saw it, their expressions did not change, and they were still smiling. They had long been accustomed to it.
Xu Hei walked to the edge of the city and saw the slogan on the city wall.
"Enjoy life and you will reach bliss after death."
"If you like to suffer, you will suffer endlessly in this life."
The signature at the end is Elder Situ Ming of Changle Sect.
Xu Hei doesn't know how such a country can survive and prosper, but there must be a reason.
…………
The Royal City of Le State, Changle City.
As the name suggests, this place is the headquarters of Changle Sect and the capital of Le State. It can be regarded as one of the most prosperous places in the Central Plains.
Xiao Chou landed in front of a pavilion, holding the Ergou sculpture he bought in his hand, with an expectant smile on his face, and said: "Miss Guoshi, I found an exquisite wood carving made by a mortal. You should like it."
A woman wearing a fox eye mask appeared in front of the window sill of the pavilion. Although her face could not be seen clearly, she had a charming temperament and was extremely charming.
She waved her hand, and the wooden sculpture fell into her hand.
"Yes, who made this?" The woman with the fox eye mask smiled.
"Uh... an ordinary person." Xiao Chou answered truthfully.
"I like this wooden sculpture very much, but one is too few. Can you help me get more?" The foxy woman leaned on the windowsill, holding her cheek with her jade hand, and said in a moving voice, "Thank you, Mr. Xiao."
Hearing this voice, Xiao Chou felt trembling all over, his blood was boiling, and his bones were about to be crisp.
"Yes, I will do it right away, and I will definitely satisfy the girl."
Xiao Chou left the pavilion, returned the same way, and flew in the direction of Xu Hei.
After Xiao Chou left.
Another soft voice came from the pavilion.
"Is a little guy who has just entered the Nascent Soul stage worthy of your teasing like this?"
The foxy woman heard this and smiled, saying, "Don't you think he's funny?"
The foxy woman looked at where Xiao Chou left and said with a smile, "I've lived for so long, and I've never seen someone with such a heavy peach blossom calamity. It's a pity not to make good use of it."
The voice sighed softly, "Alas, poor Xiao Chou."
In the past ten years, she has witnessed all of Xiao Chou's experiences, time and time again, which were horrible to watch. But without exception, they were all caused by this national master.
