Xianmen can only be saved by me

Chapter 3

Li Simiao was not in the room, he was in a daze on the roof.

Xie Lin walked to him and sat down beside him.

At this time, there is no rule of "do not disturb the sad person". The meaning of Li Simiao sitting here is not to exclude him from coming.

But Li Simiao didn't make a sound for a long time, maybe because the blow was too big and he couldn't organize his words.Xie Lin thought for a while, touched his body, and took out a piece of jerky that he stuffed in during work in the morning: "Eat."

Li Simiao glanced at him resentfully: "Did you already know..."

"I helped your mother when she gave birth, what do you think?" Seeing that he didn't eat, Xie Lin stuffed the jerky back into his mouth.

I'm still hungry after a busy morning.

"Then why tell me now? Is it because I don't want to go to the academy!" Li Simiao yelled, "I've been hiding it from me for ten years!"

"Keep your voice down, everyone on the street will hear you in a while." Xie Lin bit the jerky until it cracked, "The main reason is that you have avoided studying recently—your parents and mother are all monks. If you work harder, you might learn it by now."

Li Simiao covered her face with her hands.

Xie Lin: "Speak up if you have something to say."

"But I don't hate my own father!" Li Simiao raised her head with a look of loneliness on her face, "I know what you mean, you want to use this to urge me to study, but bro, I haven't even met my own mother. I can't talk about much affection, and naturally I can't say that I hate my father. I know that this kind of thinking is very rebellious and contrary to ethics, but I..."

"But you can't help thinking this way?" Today's jerky was a bit hard, Xie Lin bit hard, and the expression on his face was not very good-looking, "That's okay, if you want to return to your thoughts, just go to school honestly. If you don't Speaking of revenge, you may not be able to catch up to your father's realm."

Li Simiao: "..."

He was very tired: "Speak something human, brother, I need comfort."

"You are ten years old, you are a mature little adult, you have to learn to find comfort by yourself." Xie Lin paused at this point, and suddenly changed his tone, "From yesterday to today, except for you knowing one more news, Nothing has changed."

"Boom--"

"Look, even the thunder hasn't stopped."

So don't overthink it.

Sometimes it's just your own heart that traps you.

Li Simiao: "..."

He buried his face in his palms again and took a deep breath.

Then, he raised his head, facing the sun with his eyes: "You're right, I don't need comfort. But I need support, brother." He turned his head and reached out to Xie Lin, "Give me a piece of jerky."

Xie Lin took out another piece of jerky from his bosom, and the two brothers faced the direction of the sun while bitterly gnawing on the jerky.

"Since I have to go to school, and I don't want to create a burden for my family, how about—" Li Simiao bit off a piece of meat, "I'll go and steal a magic weapon."

Xie Lin turned around: "Your idea is very dangerous."

"I know it's dangerous to attack monks. But I've thought about it. Since last month, we've had more monk guests here. Some magical artifacts are magical to ordinary people, but they are worthless to monks. It’s nothing. I’m going to steal those magical artifacts, as long as I don’t get caught on the spot, those monks shouldn’t be so bored that they come to trouble me.”

"By danger I mean you're going to 'steal' something. Xie Lin had a rare serious tone, "Li Simiao, don't do bad things just because of a single thought. "

"I'm not—" Li Simiao tried to argue, but when he saw Xie Lin's expression, he was embarrassed again, "I just want to save some money for the family... Besides, who would know?"

"God knows, I know, your conscience will know too. Li Simiao, sometimes not doing evil is not for some benefit, but to prevent yourself from becoming a hideous person. You may not understand now, but you must remember my words. "

"Uh..." Li Simiao hugged her legs tightly, put her chin on her knees, and slowly pouted.

Still a ten-year-old kid.

Xie Lin smiled and patted his head: "You can go ask for rewards, be thick-skinned and have desserts, maybe you can get them, but you can't steal anything."

"Okay." Li Simiao reluctantly agreed.

In fact, as the main flow of people headed towards the direction of Zixiaomen, there were not as many monk customers in their store as at the beginning. Xie Lin thought that Li Simiao would have to wait for a while to get the opportunity, enough for him to digest As I said, I didn't expect this opportunity to come so soon.

·

The busiest time of the inn is meal time. After noon, Xie Lin wipes clean the tables where the guests have eaten, and after washing the dishes, he can usually relax. Before 2 o'clock is the hottest time of the day, and the whole town is lazy.

But this afternoon, there was commotion outside.

The thunder that had been ringing all night didn't know when it stopped, and people poured out from every household, pointing at the sky, Xie Lin walked outside, and saw that in the blue sky, at a very high place, what is there? Stuff stops there.

He looked carefully for a long time, and combined with the discussion of the people around him, he could barely see that it was a ship.

It's a very big ship, its shape is more primitive than the industrial beauty of the cruise ship in the previous life, and most importantly, it can fly.

That is the ship of the immortal cultivator, and it has to be a very powerful immortal cultivator...or sect.

Mufu Town is located at the intersection of a bunch of big and small fairy gates, it is a typical "three no matter" area, monks are rarely seen on weekdays, where have you seen such a level of magic weapon?For a moment, the whole town was boiling, and almost everyone put down what they were doing, and went to the streets to watch the spaceship.

Xie Lin looked at it for a while, then looked away without interest.

He still can't understand the enthusiasm of the world for cultivating immortals, so he returned to the inn alone.

San Xiu, who had eaten a quarter of a sword-horned deer, was sitting in the lobby of the inn picking his teeth with his legs crossed. He obviously didn't go out, but he seemed to have seen the scene outside, and said with a smile, "Brother Xie, don't watch the fun anymore?"

Xie Lin shook his head, went to the corner to find a bucket and a long-handled brush made of a local plant root, and prepared to go to the backyard to collect water: "I want to brush the ground again."

There were no other guests in the lobby, either going to the street to watch the excitement or resting upstairs, there were only two of them anyway, casual cultivators had no scruples about speaking.He watched Xie Lin busy with a smile, and said after a while: "That is a spaceship newly built by Tiangongge this year, it can carry hundreds of people, and it can fly non-stop for half a month. It is said that the first one was bought by Zixiaomen. Not to mention mortals, even monks, few have seen such a battle, you really don't want to join in the fun?"

Xie Lin finally raised his head with a strange expression: "Tiangong Pavilion?"

When Sanxiu finally became interested, he was about to speak when Xie Lin answered, "Are you related to Tianshou Pavilion?"

Loose Xiu: "..."

He was choked by Xie Lin, and it took him a long time to recover his voice: "That's not true, the two sects are just similar in name."

"Oh." Xie Lin lowered his head and brushed the ground again.

He was really not interested, but that casual cultivator talked a lot and talked a lot.It is said that the thunder came from the direction of Tianxing Xianmen last night, and the Zixiaomen meeting was not held to send such a boat out, so I am afraid that it is not going to Tianxing Xianmen to inquire about the situation.

In the end, he muttered mysteriously: "I heard that Zixiaomen didn't even send invitations to Tianxingxianmen this time, so it's a good show."

Xie Lin didn't understand the joints, but he was a little concerned about the Heavenly Star Immortal Sect who was always looking for someone.

Just as he was about to ask, a young man rushed in at the door, he was the "friend" who almost got into a fight with Miss Sun Er when he bought "Tian Shou Monthly" yesterday.

"Brother Lin! There is something good!" He saw Xie Lin bent over scrubbing the floor at the door, and yelled as he entered the door, "A pile of scrolls flew down from the boat, and they said they were collecting food and wine. It’s all posted, and it’s still hanging outside! I wondered, wouldn’t you be the one with the best craftsmanship on our street? If you can be spotted by some fairy—”

He stopped abruptly, looked at the casual cultivator, and even his voice trembled: "I don't know that the immortal is here, the pariah is rude, rude..."

Sanxiu waved his hand, facing the stranger, there was no smile on his face, but his attitude was still kind: "There is no need to be so restrained."

"Thank you Xianchang for your compassion." The young man bowed and gave Xie Lin a wink, "Brother Lin, I have brought my words to you, you, you need to take care of yourself!"

"Understood, thank you." Xie Lin smiled at him.

In fact, he didn't even need to come over to talk. If the boat above really asked for food from the nearby towns, someone would come after a while.

But it's good to get the news in advance, he has to get ready.

The casual cultivator looked at him in surprise as he put down the tool at hand: "Aren't you not interested?"

"I don't want to offer food, but is there any choice for me?" Xie Lin was a little helpless.

After listening to that casual cultivator, he was thoughtful: "That's right."

Now that the fire was out, Xie Lin had to go upstairs to call for someone because he was too busy to prepare meals of sufficient quantity and quality in a short period of time.Li Simiao was taking a nap, but when he heard about this kind of thing, he fell asleep and ran away. Xie Lin beat his head: "Don't think about what you have."

Li Simiao smiled flatteringly: "I'm sure I won't steal it... just find a way to get a reward."

Boss Li: "What are you two whispering?"

"It's nothing!" Li Simiao said, "Come and help!"

·

As soon as they heated up the stove, people came outside. They were two disciples wearing standard brocade clothes. They found out that this was the only inn in the town, so they came straight here.

When he entered the door, he couldn't hide his dignity: "Is the food and wine ready?"

Boss Li hurriedly nodded and bowed to greet him.

Xie Lin prepares dishes with Li Simiao in the back kitchen.There were probably a lot of people on that boat, and I don't know how many low-level disciples among them needed to eat.

But he thought, since meals were collected from surrounding towns, the number of categories they handed over in the store is not important, what is more important is the taste and weight.

So he opened the pot of stewed soup. Today's business is not over, there is already crispy stewed meat in the pot, at this time, heat it up, take it out and cut it.He handed over the work of cutting the meat to Li Simiao, while he went to the stove to cook a vegetarian dish called "Bai Zhuo Lan Qi Ye".

Lanqiye is a wild plant near Mufu Town. It has a delicate fragrance. The method of boiling it is simple and can highlight the fragrance of the plant itself. It can be eaten with a little soy sauce brewed in advance.

They are all dishes that are prepared very quickly. Facts have proved that Xie Lin is indeed very forward-looking, because Boss Li came back shortly after he went out to meet people, with a complicated expression on his face: "The two people said, let's follow and send the dishes to the boat .The action needs to be block."

"Then I'll go with Simiao." Xie Lin knew that Li Simiao wanted to ask for a reward, so he didn't plan to stop him, and even helped create opportunities.

"Then you two, be careful." Boss Li paused, his tone more complicated, "I think these fairy elders...have a bad temper."

He said it quite tactfully, but Xie Lin guessed that he probably got angry at him.

Xie Lin was a little speechless and a little funny.

In this world, immortals generally look down on mortals, but mortals are licking dogs who "shave their heads and pick their heads and get hot". Xie Lin really wants to invite both parties to sit down, and then he will talk about Marxism.

But the situation is stronger than people, Xie Lin pretends to be a good dish, and he has to follow behind those two people to pretend to be a grandson.

With a lot of dishes, they pushed the car and walked out of the city all the way.When they walked outside the town, the two men took out a talisman paper from their pockets and shook it out, and silently recited a formula, the talisman paper quickly enlarged and became a "flying carpet".The two disciples walked up first, motioning for Xie Lin and the others to push up the trolley loaded with vegetables.

Li Simiao was young and couldn't hold back his words, so he couldn't help asking: "You two elders, why did you walk out of the city?"

One of the disciples gave him a disgusted look.

The other person had a better temper, and waited for about half a minute before opening his mouth: "The rule passed down from ancient times is that mortals are not allowed to use spells unless they are saving lives."

"That's it, thank you Xianchang for clarifying the confusion." Li Simiao thanked respectfully and hid behind Xie Lin.

Xie Lin glanced at him.

This little boy is afraid that he will be left out in the cold, so he is unhappy.

The talisman rose all the way up, and the higher it went, the stronger the wind became.

In their eyes, the concrete and vibrant Mufu Town in the past has become a small square, located in the wilderness, surrounded by woods and grasslands; while the boat suspended in the air has become bigger and bigger.

Xie Lin saw the towns around Mufu Town, big and small, scattered like stars, some of which he had been to, while others had not.

Perhaps this is the perspective that the "immortals" see every day.

The specific lives of ordinary people are not as big as a black spot in their eyes, so it is no wonder that they are arrogant in everything.

·

These two disciples were not the only ones leading people onto the boat. When the talisman flew to the front of the boat, Xie Lin saw many "vegetable deliverers" waiting in line to board the boat.

Because there are many "colleagues" who are close to the town, some Xie Lin met when he was running around with Boss Li to buy goods, and when they met, they gave each other a friendly look, which was regarded as a greeting.

No mortal dared to speak out at this moment.

Li Simiao was blown cold by the wind, and kept shrinking towards Xie Lin.Xie Lin is actually not very good at making physical contact with people, but at this moment, he had no choice but to half-hug him, trying to help keep him out of the wind.

I don't know how long they waited before they were allowed to board the boat.

The person who took over the cart of vegetables pushed it away as soon as it got on the boat. The cart was pasted with talisman paper for heat preservation, so it was not afraid of the dishes getting cold.But people were already freezing, Xie Lin was fine, Li Simiao sneezed a series of times when he got on the boat, tears and snot flowed together.

"I usually call you to exercise, but you insist on not listening." Xie Lin took out a handkerchief to wipe his nose, but didn't take it back after wiping, and stuffed it into Li Simiao's hand, "Do you understand now?"

Li Simiao's face was full of grievances: "Can't we leave?"

"Isn't it time for you to ask for a reward?" Xie Lin said, "I can't leave, just wait."

All the food deliverers are kept in a room, maybe until the food is finished before they are let down.

"I don't want rewards anymore." The child doesn't understand what "class" is, but the depression in the air is enough to suffocate him.

Xie Lin smiled without saying a word, and patted his younger brother on the shoulder.

Xie Lin often has a kind of calmness that does not change when a mountain collapses in front of him. Maybe he doesn't realize it, but it is indeed very attractive to others.

Li Simiao watched him for a while, gradually settled down, and finally got the mood to observe his surroundings.

These mortals are bored together, and there are always acquaintances who can chat, as long as they don't make a lot of noise, the disciples guarding the door are not interested in bothering them.

Xie Lin and the two sat near the door, they could hear what the people in the room were talking about, and they could also hear the movement in the corridor.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Li Simiao's mind was relaxed, and he was sleepy when the group of uncles ran with their mouths full of trains, his eyelids drooped, his head nodded, and the sound of the door drifted into his ears unexpectedly.

"It turned out to be Cultivator Yan from Fengyumen, and he came here to..."

"After eating a delicious dish, I want to ask someone how to make it. I don't know if you can be accommodating."

The voice of that person was warm and clear, with the tone of Yushu Linfeng.

Li Simiao woke up all of a sudden, and tugged on Xie Lin's sleeve.

The person from Fengyumen, whose surname is Yan, could it be...

His own father?
