It's summer, and the heat is unbearable;

The air...seems to be a bit thicker as visible to the naked eye.

Inside the simple inn, eight or nine peasant men in rough clothes drank herbal tea, rested and chatted with each other.

Occasionally arguing loudly, occasionally laughing in a low voice;

Among them, there are many people who want to steal the limelight and share their own experiences of "traveling all over the country" and the interesting stories they hear occasionally, so as to relieve the suffering of the scorching heat.

Unknowingly, the topic has turned to the tragedy that happened the day before yesterday in Caomiao Village next door...

"Why does it feel hotter today? Shopkeeper, please add more water."

"You lazy guys, you need to drink more water every day, wait and see." The shopkeeper scolded with a smile, but he didn't blame him too much, and turned around to fill the water container.

Several people laughed, knowing that the shopkeeper was a kind-hearted person. When they saw the shopkeeper coming, the man who asked for water before seemed to have thought of something.

"Shopkeeper, I heard that Caomiao Village had attracted evil spirits, and that's why the whole village was massacred! After we leave, you better..." The man hadn't finished yet.

The shopkeeper has already taken over the words hastily: "Bah, bah, bah, you are saying this for no reason, and it will bring bad luck for nothing."

After saying that, he said "Bah, bah, bah" three times.

Perhaps because they were lamenting the tragic experience in Caomiao Village, no one answered the question, and even the temperature seemed to have dropped.

I looked around and saw that other people looked sad, thinking they were somewhat affected by the rumors.

The old storyteller coughed lightly,

He continued: "You all don't know, maybe it's God's kindness. I heard that there are still two blood children left in Caomiao Village. They were taken away by the legendary Qingyun Sect. If they are accepted into the sect, it will be considered a great blessing.

He will also be an immortal one day."

"The little old man thought that since those immortals have already been here, the evil spirits must have been eliminated as well!"

The shopkeeper's self-comforting words became more and more confident as he spoke, and after he finished speaking, he shook his body proudly.

It was the first time for other men to hear this secret, and they were also attracted by the topic.

A young man even asked aloud: "Shopkeeper, what is this Qingyun Sect? Is there really an immortal family around us?"

All eyes were focused on him, and the shopkeeper's wrinkled face looked a little unnatural, but also had a more show off look. The man who spoke before was smart and immediately poured the shopkeeper a cup of tea.

The old shopkeeper also woke up to the reason for the other party's behavior, so he didn't refuse. He took a drink to moisten his throat, pursed his lips and said:

“In today’s world, the righteous path is prosperous and evil spirits retreat.

The land of the Central Plains is very popular, rich in products, and has beautiful mountains and rivers, which are firmly occupied by decent families.

Among the orthodox sects, the three sects of Qingyunmen, Tianyin Temple, and Fenxiang Valley are headed.

Among these three families, Qingyun Sect has become the leader of the righteous path with its three thousand years of foundation.

The people inside are all immortals with vast magical powers.

All evil spirits must be easily captured~"

Seeing these banker men rising and falling rapidly in response to his words, with their faces glowing red, I thought that images had flashed through their minds, and they began to yearn for it.

The old shopkeeper felt that all this was very pleasing to the eye, and he stroked the beard at the corner of his mouth before continuing.

I heard a "hum" sound!

He could no longer speak, just like in a midnight dream, his mind was clear but his body could not move.

The sound was like the cry of an oriole. Although it only came out once, it was melodious and melodious, like water and song.

The others didn't think much when they saw the shopkeeper's appearance. They all looked at the sound, but this glance made people feel as if they were caught in a calming spell. All they saw was the woman walking towards him.

Her face is like a hibiscus, and she is unparalleled in beauty, just like a fairy.

She is quiet and peaceful,

Like a pool of clear water, her stunning appearance has an eye-catching quiet beauty. She is dressed in a pale white dress and is spotless.

The picture touched the heart directly, and the nine men were stunned!

Such a scene made the woman frown slightly, but there was nothing wrong with it.

It seems that anger is as gentle as water, but because of that moan, it brings infinite youthfulness and playfulness.

"Junior sister, why do you care about some ordinary people who finally come out to practice? You must know that cultivating the mind is practicing cultivation."

A gentle male voice seemed to ring in their ears, and all the men woke up from a dream. The shopkeeper also suddenly trembled, but no one paid attention.

All the things just happened flashed by in an instant, and everyone was blushing and heartbeating. I don't know if it was because of the hot weather, or because of the guilt for blaspheming the goddess in front of them!

The gentle look of the goddess flashed through everyone's eyes, and they turned to the source of the voice and murmured coquettishly: "Senior brother, you will be a good person, or junior sister will also call some ladies and let them stare at you for half a day.

?”

The man did not expect that his junior sister would say this.

After a brief absence of concentration, he smiled bitterly and said, "Well, I thought you were used to this kind of thing every day?"

He glared at the person who spoke in embarrassment and did not argue.

The two of them walked away as they talked, as if they didn't see anyone and didn't stop for a moment.

But the woman became the protagonist here, touching people's hearts with every smile.

They all followed the woman's eyes and turned to look at the man walking side by side.

The body is slender and the face is like a crown jade.

His facial features are sharp and angular, and his black pupils are clear but bottomless.

Two of the men were even shorter, looking troubled as they thought about something.

The man didn't pay attention to the others, and looked at the woman to explain: "What they said is correct. Now the world is really prosperous, and the name of the leader of the righteous path is well deserved. Why do you need to get angry over trivial matters?"

Everyone saw that the man seemed to be blaming the goddess, and they felt a little impatient for no reason.

"How could I care about such a trivial matter? It was obviously my senior brother who told me about my apprenticeship and experience, but in the end he actually walked so far and entered the foot of Qingyun Mountain."

Apparently he was a little dissatisfied with the long journey to get here.

The woman's words had some effect, making her feel a little embarrassed. She shook her head helplessly: "Well, I just thought that we would all come out anyway, so I took my junior sister into the Central Plains to see the water and sky. It's not in vain to be like this with my junior sister.

Traveling with beautiful women."

"..."

Her smile was as beautiful as a hundred flowers in bloom, and her senior brother's words hit her home.

Everyone was bewitched again!

........

When his mood improved, he no longer paid attention to the offenses of the people around him, but responded to the man's words.

"Is this what senior brother meant by teasing?"

It can be seen that she is still a little uncomfortable with this word! After she said it, her cheeks were already a little red, which made her look even more gorgeous. Everyone looked at it as if they were dreaming, and even their breathing was a little heavier!

The man smiled casually, and there was something strange in his eyes, adding to the sense of freedom and ease.

"It doesn't matter, but it's more of a sincere compliment."

After speaking, no more words were spoken.

Seemingly realizing that the man was no longer willing to say more, she changed the subject as smartly as she did: "Where are we going next?"

"Qingyunmen, I heard that a nearby village was massacred with more than 240 lives! Since you encounter it, you should ask about it. After all, we are practicing."

"But, how about going to Qingyun rashly like this?" The voice was pleasant and clear.

"Why not?"

"Senior brother, aren't you still thinking about that Qingyun's junior sister Lu?"

The woman has nothing to worry about. The two grew up together and already know each other's character well.

, I know that my senior fellow apprentice is different from other fellow apprentices, so I can talk about these things in a lively manner.

But if it were anyone else, she wouldn't make fun of it casually.

The man hesitated for a moment and then asked in a daze: Does my junior sister have any misunderstanding about me?

There was still room for explanation, but the woman did not give him a chance to continue, and answered without a trace of emotion: "Senior Brother, I remember clearly what I said five years ago!"

"It is rumored that Junior Sister Lu is a peerless beauty that is rare to see in five hundred years."

"Now, as soon as I leave the school, I come to Qingyun non-stop. Junior sister really has to be suspicious!"

As he spoke, he put some thought into it, and his expression changed.

The man paused, unaware of the emotions of the people around him, and scenes appeared in his eyes following the other person's words.

He was lost for a moment: "Yes, it's been five years, it's Zhu Xian!"

"What did senior brother say?"

The two people, who had their own thoughts, instantly regained their clarity.
