Chapter 160 Arrangements (seeking a monthly ticket)
Guanyin left sadly, but Sun Ran's life could no longer get back on track.
He has already asked clearly that Xiao'e's family was killed on the Weihe River near Chang'an (don't go into the details). He couldn't say, so he had to go and investigate.
Over the years, he has been enjoying popular food and drinking hot food. His clothes are washed, his bed is changed, his cave is cleaned, and his life is extremely comfortable. This is all due to the female apprentice Xie Xiao'e. If he does not find the real culprit for her, he will have a hard time with his conscience.
.
Xiao'e was still working in the town, and Sun Ran saw Li Shimin off and continued to bask in the sun at the entrance of the cave, thinking about future plans while waiting for Xiaoqing's return.
Just as I was lost in thought, a crisp voice came: "Sluggard, you are basking in the sun again."
Sun Ran didn't need to turn around to know that Xiao Qing was coming. Although this woman always ran out, every time she came back, she would come over to quarrel with him in the name of learning Taoism.
I don’t know what kind of interest this is, but she enjoys it endlessly.
"The sky is bright and the life is free, so naturally you have to enjoy it." Sun Ran opened his eyes lazily.
"I have recently gained new insights into the Water Control Technique. Please help me take a look at it." Xiao Qing said.
"No need to look, it must be the same as before." Sun Ran waved his hand and said: "I said, since you are so idle, why don't you go back to the real world to play?"
Xiaoqing is on a normal protection mission. Thanks to Sun Ran's supervision and a magical weapon to protect Li Shimin, her mission is not heavy and she has a lot of vacations.
"I'm using the nutrition warehouse, and it's too troublesome to exit all the time. What? Are you tired of chatting with you for a while?" Xiao Qing ran into the cave where Sun Ran lived, moved out a chair, and then lazily
He sat down proudly and basked in the sun like Sun Ran.
"Where did that kid go?" Xiaoqing asked in surprise. She finally found that Li Xiaoer was missing.
"Eight years have passed and I sent him back to his hometown. You probably have to follow me again." Sun Ran said with a smile.
Xiaoqing's face immediately fell, and she felt depressed: "You are still pure and free, you can do whatever you want. The Li family is so suffocated. When you say something or make an action, you must follow the rules and don't go out of the way.
Game companies say they need to take care of players’ gaming experience. It’s really hard to be an Order.”
She was Li Shimin's full-time order maintainer, so she had to go back with him. The thought of meeting that old pervert Li Yuan made her even more depressed.
"Just get used to it." Sun Ran didn't answer the question, because he knew that as long as he answered, Xiao Qing would chatter non-stop. We could talk about this topic all afternoon.
He changed the subject: "I said, you have been running around outside for so many years, but you haven't met your right husband?"
"I met you, I met you."
"Then why don't you go back and follow Li Yuan, and you can become a princess in the future." Sun Ran joked.
"Go to hell. Then I might as well find his son. Maybe he can become a princess in the future." Xiao Qing hit Sun Ran on the arm.
"It's not impossible. The relationship between sister and brother is also quite beautiful..."
‘Pah!’ Before Sun Ran could finish his words, the chair was kicked by Xiao Qing, causing him to fall to the ground.
Seeing Sun Ran fall into disgrace, Xiao Qing giggled: "You deserve it, I told you to talk nonsense."
Sun Ran got up and patted the dust on his body. This time he no longer sat on the wooden chair. Instead, he sat on the stone chair beside him: "I'd better stay away from you."
After a moment of silence, Xiaoqing suddenly asked: "Rose Tree, I found that you look exactly like your son Xu Xuan."
"What you said is wrong. He is very similar to me. He is a similar player specially selected by the game company based on my appearance." Sun Ran rolled his eyes.
"Yes, actually you are a little more handsome than him."
"nonsense."
"But not as gentle as him."
"That's called cowardice." Sun Ran countered.
"Forget it, let's not talk about him anymore. I have forgotten about him a long time ago." Xiaoqing waved his hand, as if brushing away the memory of the past.
"Okay." Sun Ran changed the subject and asked, "What is your master's name?"
He had always wanted to know about this, but he never thought about Nuwa. In his opinion, Nuwa came to him entirely because of the past incident at Zixiao Palace.
"Master won't let me say it, so I can't reveal it. But my master is definitely a hundred times more powerful than you. At your level, you can only bully me." Xiao Qing was very proud.
Sun Ran didn't ask further questions and laughed and said: "It's so awesome. I'd like to see it when I see it someday."
"You'll be surprised."
The conversation was interrupted again. After a while, Sun Ran felt that it was time to say goodbye, so he said: "In a while, I will be traveling in a while. It could be tomorrow or three days at the earliest."
"Ah...oh~ That's good. Walking around is better than staying in this little Qingyun Cave." Xiaoqing's voice didn't sound too high.
"Your level of Taoism is only about this, and I can't teach you anymore. After I leave, if you encounter a strong enemy, Li Shimin will be fine because he has a protective weapon. But you can't get rid of him.
Demon, so take this diamond bracelet and if you encounter a saboteur, just throw it at him."
"Is it useful to throw it away like this? What if someone snatches it away, or I accidentally hit someone?" Xiao Qing took the diamond bracelet, feeling worried.
Of course, Sun Ran considered this problem and said with a smile: "There is another simple method. Take this talisman. It is very simple. You can definitely learn it."
He took out a piece of talisman and handed it over.
Xiao Qing took it and read: "Tai Shang Laojun is as anxious as the law... What kind of mess is this? What if others learn from this?"
A general magic weapon formula should also have a mana running route, etc.?
"It's just a formula. There are restrictions set by me on the diamond bracelet. Now you input magic power into the bracelet, then burn the talisman and say the formula at the same time. After that, it will only recognize your voice and magic power." Sun Ran explained.
.
"Oh, that's right, that's good!" Xiao Qing followed Sun Ran's instructions, and as expected, she felt that she had a wonderful connection with the diamond bracelet. After reciting the mantra, the bracelet could move according to her thoughts.
"Remember, this bracelet is only thrown at destroyers, don't throw it at ordinary players. It is too powerful and will cause people to lose their brains." Sun Ran solemnly warned.
"I know. Don't worry." Xiao Qing pouted, dissatisfied with Sun Ran for treating her like a child.
Then she prepared to go back to Tang Mansion, stood up, moved the chair into the cave and put it away, and said goodbye: "Then I'm leaving."
"Go ahead."
"Do you have anything else to tell me?" Xiaoqing hesitated, as if he didn't want to leave.
"No. I have said everything that needs to be said." Sun Ran felt that he had finished explaining.
"When you are in the Tang Mansion, don't think about me all the time. You should concentrate on the task of maintaining order." Sun Ran joked.
"Bah, who would miss you? You're so sentimental." Xiao Qing no longer lingered, and when her magic power moved, clouds and mist appeared, holding her up and flying up.
This skill of controlling clouds was learned from Sun Ran. Clouds are originally water, so Xiao Qing, who is well versed in the art of controlling water, learned this skill very quickly.
"Let me tell the Li family that the Li family's child has recovered better than expected and is completely fine. I will not appear again unless it is really necessary." Sun Ran really remembered something and raised his voice.
Added one sentence.
"I will."
After flying for several miles, Xiao Qing couldn't help but turn her head and look at the entrance of the cave below. Sun Ran at the entrance of the cave had turned into a small black dot, which was almost invisible.
She couldn't help but sigh. She left suddenly. Thinking that there would be no one left to talk to in the future, she felt a little blocked.
Sun Ran did not wait for Xie Xiao'e to come back as usual. He walked into the cave and activated advanced alchemy to melt all the excess iron tools such as wood knives and forge a fine alloy steel sword that conformed to the rules of this world.
If you look closely at this sword, you will see that there are blue rhyme cloud patterns on the surface of the sword, and the sword's light is like a stream of autumn water. It is exquisite but not lacking in evil aura. It is just right for my apprentice to use.
After thinking about it, Sun Ran engraved a few words on the sword, "Qiu Shui Sword", and also engraved a line of small words on the inconspicuous part of the hilt, "Gift to Disciple Xiao'e".
Then he waited patiently.
In the evening, Xiao'e came back with some seasonal fruits and vegetables in her hands.
After making dinner as usual, Sun Ran brought up the matter while dining together.
He first took out the sword and asked: "On weekdays, I have taught you how to turn a fist into a sword. Have you mastered it?"
Xiao'e saw the sword and knew that today was a serious matter. She stood up quickly, knelt in front of Sun Ran and replied: "To tell you what Master, I usually use a stick instead of a sword. I practice it all the time and I am already familiar with it."
Sun Ran was relieved. This female apprentice was a very down-to-earth person. She meant what she said, so she handed the sword over and started lying: "This sword is called Qiu Shui, and it was passed down from our master.
I will pass it on to you today.”
But Xiao'e refused to accept it and kowtowed: "Since it is an ancestral thing, Xiao'e, as a woman, cannot accept it."
Sun Ran was startled, secretly blaming himself that he couldn't even make up a lie, what kind of ancestral information was he talking about, so he hurriedly made up for it: "My teacher is a Taoist, and everything depends on chance. This sword is destined for you, so don't refuse it. After you get the sword,
, but also to practice regularly and not to slack off.”
Chance is so mysterious that Xiao'e doesn't understand it, and of course she can't object, so she took it with both hands and felt the coolness coming from the sword. She was so excited that she couldn't speak.
She is the daughter of a businessman, and her vision is not low. This sword was just casually refined by Sun Ran, but in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the craftsmanship was so high that it had reached the level of a sword, and it became a magic weapon.
Most nobles would only inherit weapons of this level. How could I be so virtuous and talented? After only eight years of service, I could get the sword heirloomed by my master.
For a moment, Xiao'e had thousands of words in her heart, but in the end they only turned into three words: "Thank you, Master."
"Get up. You go and get ready. We will set off tomorrow and go to the area where Jingwei intersects."
The intersection of Jing and Wei is the place where Xiao'e's family got into trouble.
Xiao'e's heart was shocked, the corners of her eyes were wet, and she nodded heavily: "Yes, Master."
