Chapter 43 Chapter 4 Flying Birds and Falling Dust

The moonlight is like water, and everything is silent. It was originally a good night for sleep.However, on such a night when the moon is shining brightly and the breeze is blowing on the couch, the boy lying on the bamboo bed has insomnia. Until dawn, Xingyan was still half asleep and half awake.In a trance, last night's ecstasy under the bright moon and beside the green bamboo is still revolving in his mind repeatedly, just like the faint lingering fragrance in the room, which can't be lingered no matter what.After the rooster crows three times and the dark window edge gradually becomes brighter, like a drunk teenager, he gradually wakes up.At this time, the thought that had been hidden in his heart for a long time quietly surfaced in his mind at the dawn of the East: Although the four blasphemous goddesses, Lingyi, were full of affection for him; but Zhang Xingyan, he could really bear this tenderness without any scruples. ?After all, she is the noble princess of the Sidu Dragon Clan, so no matter what, she can't climb high.Regardless of other things, the barrier between human and god alone is like a world of difference, making it almost impossible for the two of them to have any common future.

Thinking of this, the young man who had just tasted love felt a little sad: "...Why do you want me to understand these things? Why can't I help but take her into my arms after I understand them?" So the originally sweet memories now infiltrated with a bit of bitterness.When the sky was bright outside the window and birds were singing everywhere, the young man who hadn't had a good night's sleep then thought about his life's event: Since it is almost impossible for him to be with the Dragon Goddess, then who will his life's event be in the future? On the girl?

Thinking of the important event of passing on incense, the filial boy sorted out all the girls he knew.It's a pity that after thinking about it repeatedly, Xing Yan found helplessly that in the end, it seemed that only the cold woman in his hall could barely become the object of his future wife. Thinking of this, the insomniac, whose mind was a little dizzy, continued to think wildly: "Hum...Xueyi is good, she has a good heart, and she is good to me. But...according to the eyes of ordinary people, she is a monster and elf. Although Long Nu once helped to prevaricate, but when it comes time to issue a marriage appointment letter, I am afraid that the elders in my sect will object..."

"However, it doesn't matter even if you object! Don't let me marry Xueyi, can you help me find a more suitable one?" Just when his mind was in a daze, and his thoughts were a little far-fetched, he suddenly heard a light knock on the door, and then there was a sound of gentle footsteps. "Who?" Hearing someone entering the room, the sensitive young man immediately opened his eyes and stood up quickly - only to see that the person who pushed the door and entered the room was the girl Kou Xueyi Kou whom he had been thinking about just now.Now she was walking to the case with a basin of clear water, put it down gently, and prepared to wash herself.

Different from the past, seeing this commonplace girl at this moment, the face of the daring young man felt a little hot.At this time, Xingyan realized that it didn't make much sense to think wildly with his eyes closed; he didn't realize how absurd some thoughts were until he opened his eyes and saw the blue sky and white sun in broad daylight. Of course, the pretty woman in front of me, who had just been seriously considered by the young man, didn't know the many reasons behind it.Seeing the hall master getting up, but just in a daze, Xue Yi just thought it was because he just got up, sleepy still, and not fully awake yet.So, she turned slightly towards Xingyan, then tiptoed and walked out the door.

Seeing her gentle and graceful posture, Hall Master Four Seas, whose mind was completely clear, couldn't help being dazed again. This morning, after walking around in Yuping City, after waking up to see the disaster-stricken county town, she really lost a lot of anger.Pitying the people in distress, he found a porridge factory set up by the government and donated all the silver on his body with the guards.Along the way, I heard people say that Yuping County, like other counties in the county, has run out of relief food that the government can use.Now the Yuping County Government can only buy rice from those grain merchants at a higher price in order to help the poor.

After hearing the news, although Xing Yan felt that these grain merchants were a little unjust, he also strongly felt that the county governments of Yulin County were obviously very clear.It can be seen that as long as those merchants do not take the opportunity to drive up prices and are still doing business normally, the government will not bully others, and will buy from them at market prices. I have seen the scene of giving out porridge in a porridge factory, and I was aroused by the Dao heart of the people of the world. After Xingyan walked out of the porridge factory, I was a little more awake by the breeze, only to find that there were more than twenty taels of silver on my body. Donate everything.

Holding the empty purse, he woke up and knew that he had to make plans for the three of them in the future.Thinking of earning money, the first thought was naturally to return to the old business and draw some town house evil spirit charms to sell.Unexpectedly, when the talisman was mentioned to sell money, Xiao Qiongxu immediately remembered the scene when she met her brother at the beginning, so she suggested that everyone go to the street to perform, so that she could know why her brother said she shouldn't tease that guy by splashing water The uncle who sells art. Xingyan is also a young man's heart, and when he heard Qiongxi's proposal, he immediately agreed.For him, although his spells are strong now, since he was a child, he has felt that those street performers are particularly capable.Now that Qiongxu suggested it, let's try it out for myself, forgetting a long-cherished wish from childhood.Immediately, Xingyan explained some necessary matters to Qiongxu Xueyi, and then led the two of them to find a street with a lot of high-rise buildings and courtyards, and prepared to perform in this relatively prosperous area.

To say that this Hall Master of the Shangqing Hall is different from those reserved disciples of the high school; he is familiar with doing these common deeds.At the end of the field, Xingyan was in a tea shed by the street, and borrowed a wide-mouthed iron pan from the owner of the tea shed, and asked Xue Yi to hold it, ready to ask for money when the show ended.He also found an open place on the side of the street, randomly picked up a broken tile, and drew a large circle with a diameter of two to three feet on the bluestone floor, and then imitated the opening lines of those buskers, shouting at the top of their voices.

Hearing his yelling in a dark voice, some people quickly gathered around to watch.After seeing that the onlookers are almost gathered, Xing Yan is ready to start the formal performance. Different from the usual street performers, Xing Yan did not intend to perform tricks such as masked throwing knives and boulder-breaking chests this time.As the cutscene said, he asked Qiong Xun to fight with himself.The little girl danced with two small blades, and he greeted him with the long ancient sword. In a blink of an eye, the two brothers and sisters were fighting together. For Xingyan, the fight between himself and Qiongxi was just a move that he often practiced when teasing her, and the two of them had a very tacit understanding.But in the eyes of others, this fight is really different: the nimble Jiaona Xiaoyuwa in the field is wearing a double-breasted flaming red shirt, with two round bun horns on the left and right sides of her head. A fan ribbon; whenever she touches the boy's arm or the tip of the sword, she uses her strength to jump into the air and hit the "Flying Bird Slash" created by herself. , Shuttle around the young man like flowers blowing willows, making people dazzled and dizzy.

Although Yuping is also a big county, a flying sword dance like Qiongxu's is by no means comparable to that of ordinary people in the world.The first time I saw such a wonderful martial art, the crowd of onlookers immediately burst into applause; hearing the applause, idlers came from all directions, and more and more people gathered around the venue. However, as the sound of the brother and sister's swords colliding became faster and faster, the cheers of the crowd gradually subsided.Now all the onlookers are sweating for that naive little girl: Although the little girl is agile, the boy who is fighting her is obviously strong in arms.Often he just swung the little girl flying into the sky with just a casual swing. "Such a cute little girl, thanks to him being able to do it!" The boy who performed Luoli didn't know that many people were very dissatisfied with him.Contrary to watching street performances in the past, these Yuping residents who are watching now, watching this real performance with knives and guns, only hope that the performance will end soon. Fortunately, this frightening sparring finally came to an end after a flurry of "jingling, jingling, jingling".Seeing the little girl landed safely, all the onlookers, including those hooligans who wanted to extort money, all heaved a sigh of relief.What made them happy was that the next performance by these young people from other places was not as thrilling as before. According to the pre-arranged program, Qiong Xin danced her pair of Suzaku Divine Blades alone.Even though the sun is strong now, everyone can still see clearly, the little girl puffed up her pink cheeks and blew twice, her two short blades suddenly burst into flames, and the red light shone brightly. Seeing this scene, everyone felt quite familiar.Most of the street performers in the past would also perform this fire-breathing trick.It's just that now it's performed by this jade-like little girl, and it has a different flavor.In the end, when Xiao Qiongxun shouted and summoned a pair of divine blades into two rosy birds with flaming feathers, the crowd erupted in applause from Zhentianjie.Everyone admired in their hearts: Never seen such a realistic trick! And the scene of these two fire-bathed birds with colorful red shadows flying around the little girl was so moving, it actually made the real swordsmanship performance of the master of the four seas look less brilliant.When he finished playing the sword skill hard, the three of them's performance of raising money would be completed.Next, Xueyi held the iron pan and went around to collect the rewards voluntarily given by the onlookers.To know whether the hard work performed by the brothers and sisters just now was a success, it will be clear when the money is collected here: the sound of money falling on the iron plate can be heard endlessly, and the boy who is sweating from his temples can hear the sound of heaven, and he can't stop laughing from ear to ear! When Xue Yi was walking around, holding an iron plate to collect money, those rogues in the crowd who used to blackmail foreigners had another thought.These few daring local snakes are drooling and smiling all over their faces now, thinking whether they should tease this very beautiful little lady by the way when they extort money later. Before he finished his crooked idea, the pretty woman in white with a gentle expression walked up to him while speaking.However, what happened next will be unforgettable to these evil-minded rogues: just as soon as she put on a vicious figure, the woman in white clothes froze in front of her, as if she had some kind of induction; before they could open their mouths, But I only felt a burst of cold air coming over me, and it was so cold to the bone in an instant, as if my whole body was frozen! In the scorching sun of July, how could there be such a feeling of falling into an ice cave?When the heart was full of fear, the leading rogue looked up, and saw a pair of Qinghan Saixue's eyes staring at him coldly. "Clang clang!" Then there was only a series of crisp sounds, and another dozen copper coins obediently fell from the hands of its stingy master into the iron plate. It wasn't until the figure in the white skirt walked away and walked to the opposite side to ask for rewards that these hooligans woke up like a dream; they moved a little, and found that the frozen blood and muscles seemed to return to normal.After being frightened by this, how dare these shabby green skins think again, glanced at each other, then retreated desperately to squeeze out of the crowd, and ran away with their heads in their arms! "Master, all the money you earned just now is here." The Bingxue Meiling who made the strongman fearful, now with a gentle face, handed over the iron plate of money, and softly asked her hall master to take a look. Taking the iron plate handed over by Xue Yi, looking at the bulging pile of money on the plate, Xing Yan is just smiling.I stretched out my hand and dialed it a little, and felt that it was quite a lot. When I was about to praise it, I suddenly heard a cry of "wow".Hearing the sound and looking around, I saw Qiongxi standing in front of a woman holding a child in her arms, talking for some reason; and the child in the woman's hand was crying and crying. It turned out that seeing Qiongxu so cute, this old lady who was holding her grandson to watch the fun, just loved it very much; she called the little girl to come to her for a special reward, and after looking at it again, she couldn't help but look at her precious grandson. He snatched the bunch of candied haws from his hand and gave it to this little girl like pink jade to eat.Needless to say, her grandson cried "Wow!" Seeing him crying, the sensible little Qiongxu immediately handed the candied haws in his hand back to the sad little brother; although, Qiongxi felt that the bunch of candied haws must be delicious. When the little boy took the candied haws returned by the elder sister, he was still sobbing, so Qiongxi stood on tiptoe and reached out to stroke the soft hair of the little boy.As soon as she touched her hair with her little hand, the three or four-year-old boy stopped crying immediately, and began to concentrate on sucking the candied haws that he had been reluctant to eat. Seeing him like this, Xiao Qiongxun was very happy and asked: "Grandma, is such a good little brother your child?" Listening to her questioning, the old woman kindly replied: "He is not my child, but my precious grandson, born to my son and daughter-in-law." "Really? It's so cute!" Looking at the little boy sucking candied haws in front of him, Qiong Xi was very envious, and muttered to himself: "If I also have such a cute little brother who calls me sister every day, it would be great if I can take care of it..." While she was talking to herself, the little girl suddenly felt a twitch in her heart. She remembered what her brother said on the street the day before yesterday, and she was overjoyed. She raised her face and asked earnestly, "Old woman, can you tell Qiong Xi that child brides can also have children?" ?” ——It was too late to say it, and as soon as the little girl uttered the word "child bride", a person in the middle of the field yelled "No!" After saying hello, he parted from the crowd, galloped away, and ran away without a trace! But when the innocent girl asked clearly and happily turned to look for her brother, she found that her hall master brother had suddenly disappeared.When she was looking for it in a hurry, her sister Xueyi told her that the hall master had something to do just now, so she had already gone a step ahead to reserve a seat for them at the noodle shop that they passed by on South Street, so that they could go there later. Skip the gossip, when Qiongxu Xueyi rushed to the noodle shop and found their hall master, he found that he had a serious face.Seeing her brother showing a rare serious expression, Xiao Qiongxun didn't know what happened, and for a while she forgot what she was eager to ask just now. Seeing that she was speechless and could only look at him with a puzzled expression, the young man secretly heaved a sigh of relief.Maintaining a serious look, he woke up and said that he would divide the money he just got into three stacks, saying that the money was earned by the cooperation of the three and should be divided equally now.After speaking, without waiting for the second daughter's reaction, he began to concentrate on counting the copper coins. Seeing the hall master's serious look, Xue Yiqiongxun didn't know why, so she could only quietly watch him count the money. At this moment of silence, the door curtain of the noodle shop was heard rattling, and several county soldiers with swords and swords rushed in.Seeing their posture, they came straight to Xingyan and the others.Sensing the menacing approach of these uninvited guests, Xingyan didn't care about counting the money, so he quickly stood up and stretched out his hand to draw his sword.As soon as he put his hand on the hilt of the sword, he saw the healthy soldiers in front of him, bowed together and said: "This young man, my master is here to invite you!"
