Chapter 26: Marriage is Coming Soon
Chapter 26: Marriage is Coming Soon
Outside the city of Hangzhou, more than thirty Taoists gathered together.
An old Taoist priest stood in the middle.
His face was filled with grief and indignation, and he slowly spoke: "I, the old Taoist Qingdan Zhenren, invite all Taoist friends to come here today, just to avenge my useless disciple!"
"I won't say much else."
"As long as you all try your best, no matter whether it succeeds or not, everyone can get three healing pills!"
The Taoists remained silent.
Just the healing elixir is not enough to make them fight for their lives.
True Man Qingdan took a deep breath and said, "Anyone who kills the snake demon will get a healing elixir and an immortality elixir in addition!"
As soon as the words were spoken, all the Taoists showed joy on their faces.
"A pill that can equal a hundred years of hard training?"
"This is good stuff!"
"It is our duty to exorcise demons and monsters!"
"Where is the snake demon now?"
The atmosphere suddenly became heated.
At this time, True Man Qingdan pulled out a young Taoist priest.
This Taoist priest had only one arm, his face was pale, and he looked like he was suffering from a blood deficiency.
"The snake demon took my magic weapon."
He said weakly: "I can sense that my magic weapon is in Hangzhou City. I will show you the way."
"There is no time to lose." Master Qingdan said loudly, "Let's go!"
Gift? Xu Xian was slightly startled.
Under Xiaobai's expectant gaze, he gently closed his eyes.
There was a rustling sound, and a fragrant breeze blew over.
"Look, young master."
Xu Xian opened his eyes and saw Xiaobai holding his hands in front of him, with a green bamboo flute placed horizontally in his palms!
"Do you like it?" Xiaobai blinked, his eyes full of nervousness and anticipation.
She struggled for a long time about what to give Xu Xian.
Finally, she decided to make a flute.
Because, compared to medical books or other things, the flute carries the story of her past with Xu Xian.
Whenever Xu Xian's flute sounded, she would think of the good old days.
This is incomparable to anything!
"Of course I like it!" Xu Xian was a little surprised, "Did the young lady make this herself?"
Flute, he really needs a good flute.
In his previous life, he had a bone flute, which was taken from the third vertebra of a dragon. The tone was desolate and distant, and he loved it very much.
It's a pity that I didn't come with him.
"Of course!" Xiaoqing stuck her head out.
She opened her hands and said exaggeratedly: "I went to many mountains and picked the best bamboo, the best section on top!"
Xu Xian's heart moved slightly.
"Xiaoqing!" Xiaobai pulled the hem of Xiaoqing's skirt.
She whispered, "Young Master, do you want to give it a try?"
"Hmm." Xu Xian picked up the flute and looked at it carefully.
The color of the flute is emerald green, the surface is as smooth as jade, and the texture is slender and straight, which is in line with the way of a gentleman.
He thought to himself that what Xiaoqing said was true.
Just the materials themselves are something that ordinary people would find difficult to obtain even if they search hard.
What is more valuable is the care put into making it!
There are no unevenness or protrusions inside or outside the flute, and even the twelve holes on the flute are round and smooth. I think it is the result of repeated polishing with fine sand wrapped in demonic power.
The whole flute is seamless, as if it grew like this naturally.
The maker's care is reflected everywhere.
Xu Xian put the flute to his lips.
He took a deep breath, and a familiar melody sounded in the yard.
Don't you see
east flowing water
No trace when coming
Time has gone
Don't you see
Castle Day
Tonight, the mountain is gone
Ming Dynasty
Xu Xian and Xiaobai looked at each other. Time seemed to stop and flow backwards at this moment.
The sound of the flute lingers in the air for a long time.
Xu Xian couldn't let go of his new flute. He said solemnly: "I like this flute very much. I will definitely wear it with me in the future!" Xiaobai felt a warm feeling in his heart.
As long as Xu Xian likes it, all her hard work for this flute will be worth it.
She looked at Xu Xian with affection.
Suddenly, Xiaoqing stuck her head out, grabbed Xiaobai's arm, and dragged Xiaobai towards the door.
"Sister, follow me!"
She puffed her cheeks and said, "You will be married tomorrow, so stay with me for a while today!"
When Xiaobai heard this, his face turned red.
She didn't dare to look at Xu Xian again, so she lowered her head and let Xiaoqing drag her away.
Before leaving, Xiaoqing did not forget to take the ginseng on the table.
Xu Xian's heartbeat quietly quickened.
Sniffing the lingering fragrance in the air, he pursed his lips unconsciously.
Why are you getting married soon?
A few days ago, he went to Jinshan Temple to ask Fahai to subdue the demon.
He couldn't help but wonder, what would have happened if Fahai had come along that day?
Where is Fahai now?
A gentle breeze comes, rippling the water of West Lake.
Willow trees brushed against her face. Xiaoqing held Xiaobai's hand and advised earnestly, "Sister, have you really thought it through? This is your last chance!"
"It's still not too late to leave now!"
"After today, you will be married and it will be difficult to escape!"
Every word is filled with worry and every voice is earnest.
Xiaoqing doesn't want Xiaobai to marry Xu Xian from the bottom of her heart. In her opinion, Xu Xian is not worthy of marrying Xiaobai at all.
At least not in this life.
Although Xu Xian had some wealth and even found a ginseng for Xiaobai, he was still a mortal after all, and a doctor who was powerless!
He was far from her idea of a good match.
She changed the subject: "It's also Xu Xian's fault. He was born as a demon even though he had a dog's tail in his previous life. Why did he end up as a human in this life?"
"Wouldn't it be better if I turned into a tiger monster or a bear monster?"
"Tall and fierce, mighty and reliable!"
"We are all monsters, no one dislikes anyone, and we can stay together forever!"
"Sister, don't you think so?"
Listening to Xiaoqing's mumbling, Xiaobai looked helpless.
She thought, Xiaoqing is good in every way.
It's this mouth.
She let go of Xiaoqing's hand and said solemnly: "There is nothing wrong with being a human. Humans are born with intelligence, unlike monsters. They have been muddleheaded for so long and have to go through many lives and deaths before they can be like humans."
"Xiaoqing, I am going to marry Xu Xian."
Xiao Bai said earnestly: "For the sake of him being your brother-in-law, don't speak ill of him anymore."
Xiaoqing's mouth deflated, as if she were a deflated ball.
She whispered, "No matter what, if I can't stand the loneliness in the future, I must marry someone better than me!"
A hazy figure emerged in my mind.
hiss--
She shivered unconsciously a few times.
this is not OK.
This is so fierce!
Just thinking about it, she felt a dull pain in her left chest, and there seemed to be a murderous aura around her.
Her expression froze.
No, it really is murderous!
She had experienced death and rebirth thousands of times in her dreams, and she knew too well what murderous intent felt like.
In an instant, a cold light shot towards her face.
She drew her sword so quickly, so incredibly fast, as if it was instinct.
Clang!
Dazzling sparks burst out in the air, and the cold light was blown away and deeply penetrated into the willow tree next to it.
Looking closely, it turned out to be a sharp blade!
Xiaoqing subconsciously protected Xiaobai behind her.
She looked towards where the blade was coming from and said coldly, "Who are you to use such a despicable trick to attack me?"
A man emerged from the shadows and ran away.
Xiaoqing blinked.
She had learned a good sword technique from her dream, but was worried that she had no place to display it.
"Sister, wait for me here!"
"I'll be back as soon as I go!"
She chased after him alone, her confidence surging.
