Chapter 16 Meeting by Destiny?
On the shore of the Xiangshui River, under the foot of Yuelu, there is the Beiming Palace.
Don't open the window, Jiang, a musty smell hits the face, and there is a long dark corridor as far as the eye can see.There are only two oil lamps at the door of each room, and the flames inside are half-dead, sticking out their necks from shallow saucers and looking around.Moisture leaked from the bluestone slabs on the wall, condensed into water droplets, gathered into streams and flowed to the ground, melted into the greasy moss and disappeared.
Compared with the strings of sweet-scented osmanthus blooming foolishly in Shenxing Rock, this place is far worse.
Not only was the environment bad, Jiang Bie looked at Xia Xiaozheng who was sitting at the door meditating.The people here are not nice either.
Xia Xiao is exactly Xia Ci'en's son, the platoon boss doesn't know.Came here to watch him.
Xia Xiaozheng's blind eye was hidden behind the blindfold.The half black mask completely covered the lower half of his face, no one knew what he looked like except for one good eye.
The only remaining eye was full of light, and the fierceness in the eyes was like a freshly sharpened dagger.Even if you haven't seen his face, you can recognize him just by that one eye.
Jiang don't dislike Xia Xiaozheng, he thought Xia Xiaozheng looked like a wolf dog at first sight.Unlike wolves, wolves have a kind of arrogance, Xia Xiaozheng is very hungry.That's right, it's the kind of wolfhound that is sold to the countryside for slaughter, and will never get a good meal for the rest of its life, and everyone will grin their teeth.
Jiang Bie hasn't been out of this house for the past three days.Xia Xiaozheng watched him closely for three days without saying a word.
"Young Master Xia?" Jiang Bie wanted to make jokes to understand the situation of Beiming Palace, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Xia Xiaozheng punched Jiang Bie in the face, beating Jiang Bie until he saw the first starry sky in Beiming Palace, like The voice of fingernails scratching the glass rang in Jiang Bie's ears: "You don't need to say anything, I won't listen to a word, if there is any noise, I will cut your vocal cords."
Don't they all say that villains die because they talk too much?This Xia Xiaozheng doesn't play by the routine!How can you tell him to play without saying a word?
Jiang stopped rubbing his face, he didn't plan to get beaten up, and he didn't want to listen to Xia Xiaozheng anymore.
Xia Xiaozheng's voice is too ugly!His throat was as if it had been drugged, like a broken bellows, and when he spoke, there would be creaking noises.
Jiang couldn't help being curious, he was Xia Ci'en's son after all, how did he become like this?
At some point, someone sent word that Xia Cien wanted to see Jiang Bie.
Jiang don't jump up and pat his butt, and finally called him, and he will go crazy if he stays in this broken place.
Xia Xiaozheng sent Jiang Bie to the main hall, and retreated quietly.
Jiang Bie looked around at the dim main hall, where 48 ever-burning lamps were lined up in two rows, with straight rails and horizontal sills, embossed and painted, very impressive.
"You're not afraid." Xia Cien who was sitting in the front seat spoke first.
Don't look around, Jiang was a little surprised to find that the veiled woman was still standing behind Xia Cien.According to Xia Ci'en's sinister and ruthless behavior style, one more person should not be allowed to know what happened at this time, let alone the female relatives.
"I'm afraid." Jiang Bie flinched to show Xia Ci'en, "But I'm here to negotiate a deal with Palace Master Xia, so I have to build up my momentum first, or I'll lose first."
Xia Ci'en smiled: "It's interesting, tell me what you want to talk about?"
Jiang Bie stretched out a finger and said: "You and Lou Qingchen both said that I am suitable for cultivating demons, and I don't shy away from it. You and I know each other's details, so don't use amnesia and furnace tripod to deceive outsiders. You are using spiritualism, and you must have thought of something wrong to attract me, a drunkard. Neither of us is living comfortably, so it is better to be perfect for each other. You help me repair demons and give me strength, and I am willing to be a container for you. "
"A little hairy child who has never experienced anything in the world." Xia Ci'en's tone was quite disdainful, "You have cultivated magic and become a container for others, but you will lose consciousness. Is that power still useful?"
The theory that power is useless is not like what Xia Ci'en, who advocates rights, can say.Jiang Bie noticed something strange in his heart, and continued following Xia Ci'en's words: "Being a conscious prisoner is worse than throwing away your consciousness and being worshiped by thousands of people. Your life will be considered a glorious one."
"A newborn calf." This was Xia Ci'en's conclusion for Jiang Bie.
Jiang Bie immediately waved his hand: "Don't, don't, Palace Master Xia, you are too polite, just scold me, why don't you scold yourself too."
Xia Ci'en realized that Jiang should not call him a tiger. Xia Ci'en hated this kind of low-level but effective trash talk: "Little children will show some quick tongue."
Jiang Bie shrugged indifferently, and half-jokingly said: "Anyway, I can't beat anyone, and I won't let you take advantage of me verbally."
Then Jiang Bie raised the corner of his mouth and continued: "Besides, after I made the container, am I really unconscious? Palace Master Xia's idea is not just to summon the soul, is it? Don't be afraid that I will run away when I get the power, and I won't listen to you any more. gone?"
Xia Cien obviously paused: "I know a lot."
Jiang Bie smiled slightly: "Master Xia, if you're doing business, don't open up and talk about it. Why don't you keep it hidden?"
Xia Ci'en agreed coldly: "Do you think you are qualified to negotiate terms with me?"
Jiang Bie took out half a stack of fire talismans, weighed them and said, "I'm nothing rare, but it's not easy for you to find this shell. If you don't pick it out, I'm here today, or I'll cut my flesh." Whether it's good or jumping into a well, I will definitely use all methods to make this shell die to a bloody mess, and you can find another container."
Xia Ci'en looked at Jiang Bie for a long time: "It's really different from before, I really shouldn't let you go to the trial ground first, to exercise some courage for nothing."
Jiang Bie put the fire starter into his sleeve with a smile, pretended to be cute and kept silent.
Xia Ci'en looked at Jiang Bie, who looked like a fox without all the fur.There are several minds on the bright side, but Xia Ci'en has no choice but to let him go.
"It's okay to tell you, I don't care what kind of calculations you have." Xia Ci'en deliberately slowed down and said word by word: "I just want to make it difficult for everyone, I want to destroy the entire cultivation world, including me Own."
No wonder Xia Ci'en didn't care which side Jiang Bie took, this old guy really wanted to die.Xia Ci'en is contradictory and a bit pathological. As a cultivator, he has done his best in troubled times. If you really pick him, you really can't find any big mistakes, except that you have a special obsession with power.But now that Xia Ci'en doesn't want power, but instead focuses on destroying the world, the level of the problem has suddenly increased by more than one level. Is this old man rebellious in his belated puberty?
"Master Xia?" Jiang Bie tentatively asked in a questioning tone, "Are you out of your mind?"
It was originally a joke, but Xia Ci'en changed the subject bluntly without seeing anger: "The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is the day you sacrifice your home."
Jiang Bie knew that Xia Ci'en didn't intend to say anything more, so he lowered his head and muttered: "Why are you destroying the world? The gold is not good enough or there are not enough beauties? If I were you, I would wish to live like a bastard, okay?"
"Master Jiang, please go back." Xia Cien issued the order to evict the guest.
Mr. Jiang shrugged and left the main hall. When he reached the door, he suddenly remembered something. He turned his head and stared at the woman behind Xia Cien thoughtfully for a while, then turned his head and frowned and shook his head vigorously. Maybe it was because the light was too dark to see wrongly. Alright.
After the end of the Sanhui Day, Shenxingyan remained the same as before.
Before Lou Qingchen opened his eyes, he raised his hand and said, "Jiang Bie, serve me..." Suddenly remembering that Jiang Bie was gone, he didn't want to move.Turned over and continued to lie down.
"Hehe!" Cui Jingyan opened the window and whistled into the room: "Tossing and turning?"
Lou Qingchen threw a pillow over with his backhand: "Go to hell!"
"Come out for a stroll, you're going to be moldy!" Cui Jingyan easily caught the pillow and shouted, "No one will touch you except Jiang, right?"
The second pillow flew out immediately, and hit Cui Jingyan's face firmly and firmly: "If you mention him to me again, you will die!"
This is dead.
Cui Jingyan threw the pillow back, entered the room without saying a word, grabbed Lou Qingchen's ankle, and dragged Lou Qingchen's dead pig to the doorstep.
At this time, the sun was already three poles high, and the autumn mountain wind was much cooler, and the sun was warming my body.
Lou Qingchen sniffed the fragrance of the flowers and felt very comfortable, like an old cat who had stolen dried fish, squinting his eyes comfortably.
Cui Jingyan took the lead and said: "Youyou Valley only paid out some money to support the various sects. The matter of walking corpses and ferocious beasts has calmed down a lot because of the commotion on Sanhui Day. But these are for Beiming Palace and Youyou Valley. It's just a warning, no real harm."
Lou Qingchen fiddled with his fingers and said nonchalantly: "You can't eat a fat man with one bite. This time, it will calm the two of them for a while. It's enough for me to try to be quiet. There are some things I have to discuss with them. It's just..." Jiang Farewell.
Lou Qingchen didn't say it out, this was a hurdle he couldn't get over. 40 years ago, he didn't keep anyone. After 40 years, he still did not keep Jiang Bie.Heh, so many years really have not improved at all.
Lou Qingchen looked at the flowers crowded in the yard, and remembered that Jiang Bie had brought them for him when he first came to Daiyun Mountain.Plum blossoms and orchids, peonies and camellias, whatever Jiang can find, no matter whether they fit or not, are all stuffed into the yard.
Jiang don't tell Lou Qingchen that so many species can bloom from winter to autumn, Master can see flowers no matter what season you go out, otherwise there will always be a season to look at the bare branches, and you will be frustrated.
When Lou Qingchen heard it, he hated it to death. People are vulgar, and flowers are vulgar, but he himself was too lazy to move them out, so he let them crowded in the yard.Looking back now, this vulgar flower has been blooming in his yard for more than ten years.
Cui Jingyan understood what Lou Qingchen wanted to say, and said: "I asked Ayan and Jiang Yan to go to the Beiming Palace from time to time."
Lou Qingchen's eyelashes trembled when he heard this, and he didn't speak too hard: "Let him die."
Cui Jingyan smiled this time and did not expose Lou Qingchen: "I want to send your Xuanniao too."
Lou Qingchen couldn't hold back his face, got up angrily and said: "Send it, send it, ask me what to do?"
Cui Jingyan looked at Lou Qingchen who got up and went back to the house, couldn't help but shook his head with a smile, this reaction was probably a consent.
Cui Jingyan remembered that 40 years ago, Ao Fang picked a bamboo basket full of apricot flowers and put them on the window sill.Lou Qingchen opened the window early in the morning, and the rain of apricot blossoms fell in front of Lou Qingchen from top to bottom.
Lou Qingchen's eyes flashed with joy, but unfortunately there was an evil wind blowing at that time, the apricot blossoms covered Lou Qingchen's face and he almost didn't suffocate him.
Cui Jingyan couldn't help laughing as he thought about it, Jiang Bie really resembled him in this silly and rude way of showing his favor.
