Shen Xuan was not polite and immediately nodded and said yes. This cute creature was a national treasure in the original world, and it will be like that here.
After carrying the giant panda out, Shen Xuan's storage ring also contained a lot of tender bamboo, so that he would not have to worry about food in the future.
At this time, in Gong Ruyue's eyes, Shen Xuan exudes the glory of fatherhood. She feels that he is so caring and will definitely be a virtuous, good husband and father in the future.
Shen Xuan touched the giant panda's head a few times and said, "This guy is round and round. When I first saw it, it was rolling around. Let's call it...Ma Dongmei."
Gong Ruyue, who was walking well beside her, almost had her waist broken. She felt that Shen Xuan was really unpredictable. She laughed dryly and said, "That's a pretty good name. Let's call her Ma Shimei."
Shen Xuan suddenly stopped, looked at Gong Ruyue with a strange look, and then asked tentatively: "How much does a cup of Palace Jade Wine cost?"
Gong Ruyue was confused as to why he asked this suddenly, but she still said: "There is no such wine in Lieyang Palace, why do you ask this?"
"Nothing, just asking." Shen Xuan looked at the rare birds and animals in the garden, changed the topic and asked: "Do you have any creatures here that are suitable as mounts? Can you give me one?"
Shen Xuan suddenly asked for a mount, not because he wanted to take advantage, but mainly because he had already thought of a return gift for Gong Ruyue.
Shen Xuan was not polite at all, but Gong Ruyue was very happy. This was obviously a sign of being close to her. She was in a good mood and said: "This is no problem. I happen to have a good horse, which can be regarded as a fairy horse. Its cultivation has reached the foundation building stage. , and he opened his spiritual wisdom early on. According to him, he is a hybrid of the fairy horse descending to the earth, and he is the first generation, half of the fairy horse blood."
Shen Xuan immediately became interested when he heard this, and then went to the pasture specially arranged for the fairy horses. However, there was no sign of the fairy horses in the pasture, which was quite large. There was only an ugly gray donkey with some hair loss. Eat grass with your head down.
Gong Ruyue pointed at the ugly donkey grazing alone and explained: "The fairy horse has been banned. Although you have foundation building skills, you can ride it at will. Do you want to try riding it for a while first?"
Fairy horse?
"..." Shen Xuan.
Shen Xuan waited for a long time before speaking seriously: "Ruyue, this seems to be a donkey, right? Have you lived in the palace for a long time and never seen a donkey?"
Gong Ruyue shook her head and denied: "I have seen donkeys. This fairy horse is just a little shorter, but it is not a donkey. It is probably because of the mixed blood."
At this time, the donkey, which had been grazing quietly, nodded in a very humane manner and made a braying sound of "ah-yah! ah-yah!" in recognition.
"Look at Ruyue, if something looks like a donkey, sounds like a donkey, and walks like a donkey, what is it?"
"It's a fairy horse." Gong Ruyue said with certainty.
Shen Xuan felt that it was necessary to popularize the knowledge of genetics with her. He was very sure that this thing was definitely not a fairy horse. It could not even have the blood of a fairy horse. A fairy horse must first be a horse. So assuming that a fairy horse came to earth, If you are blind and get married to an ordinary donkey, the horse and the donkey will only give birth to mules, certainly not ugly donkeys.
He was just about to tell Gong Ruyue how she was deceived, but he didn't expect the donkey beside him to suddenly say human words: "Don't talk nonsense, I am the fairy horse,"
Shen Xuan actually saw a guilty expression on a donkey's face. Shen Xuan was tired and asked speechlessly: "How can it still talk?"
Gong Ruyue said calmly: "Didn't I say that it has opened its spiritual intelligence? It's not unusual for it to speak with its spiritual intelligence."
Is there any? Shen Xuan thought about it and Gong Ruyue seemed to have really said that he had read about gods, monsters and fairies before. It seemed that some monsters could open up their spiritual intelligence after cultivating to the level of foundation building, and their IQs were basically the same as those of humans. No different.
Shen Xuan was even more certain that Gong Ruyue was deceived by this donkey demon, but it was quite surprising that it happened to Gong Ruyue that she called a donkey a horse.
It's so difficult to get food these days. Donkey really didn't dare to let Shen Xuan talk any more, so he hurriedly shouted: "Stop talking about these useless things. Come up here and I'll take you around twice, and you'll know if I'm a fairy or not." The horse is gone."
Gong Ruyue also suggested that he try it first, and Shen Xuan thought about it. There was no need to worry too much about whether this guy was a donkey or a horse. As long as the donkey demon was strong enough, he wouldn't mind riding a donkey.
After asking someone to come over and put the saddle on, Shen Xuan turned over and rode on the donkey demon. Before he could say anything about driving the donkey, he started running wildly. The speed was really fast, much faster than Shen Xuan himself. Even a Ferrari couldn't match it. Only then did he understand. Don't judge a donkey by its cover, this is truly a precious donkey.
After the test drive, Shen Xuan was very satisfied and immediately accepted the donkey demon and gave him the name Dabao. Gong Ruyue also gave him Dabao's forbidden secret method. In the future, whenever Shen Xuan has an idea, he can take it immediately. The life of the donkey demon.
After accepting Dabao, Shen Xuan didn't want to continue sightseeing. He wanted to say goodbye, but Gong Ruyue suddenly invited him to have a meal together. When talking about eating, Shen Xuan thought of Shangguan Ling.
Shen Xuan agreed to Gong Ruyue, but said that he would go back alone first. The residence was already empty, and Shen Xuan guessed that Shangguan Ling had secretly left the palace on his own.
He didn't pay much attention and casually collected Shang Lianhua's clothes scattered on the bed before going out to the banquet.
Gong Ruyue specially entertained guests, and the dishes were of course extremely luxurious. All kinds of delicacies were served on the table, and there were so many varieties. Shen Xuan was dazzled just by looking at them.
In the past, he thought that the food at home or in the Vajra Sect was luxurious enough, but today he realized that he was just a rich country man.
After the banquet, he said goodbye to Gong Ruyue.
As for the gift in return, he did not forget about it. He prepared two gifts. The first one was to tell Gong Ruyue that he knew an expert in alchemy. If you need to make alchemy in the future, you can send someone to the Diamond Sect to contact him. The price is favorable. This pair There are benefits to both of them.
In addition, Shen Xuan plans to write a modern "Outline of State Administration" for Gong Ruyue when he has time in the future. He will try his best to describe some modern technologies, such as firearms, new textile machines, agricultural tools, glass, steam engines, electricity, mobile phones, etc. Species, various thoughts, carry the wisdom of another world.
As for how Gong Ruyue treats this "Outline of Governance", it is her business. If she understands the value of it, she will naturally let people test some things in it. If she persists, she will gain something. If she thinks it is all nonsense I can only blame her poor eyesight.
In fact, this book also carries his goodwill towards the world. He himself has no interest in overthrowing the decadent dynasties and creating a new world. It would be great if Gong Ruyue could also get a mobile phone and computer in the future. Anyway, He is immortal and can afford to wait!
This knowledge can also help ordinary people who are oppressed, and it can be regarded as accumulating some virtue.
At the Meridian Gate of the palace, Gong Ruyue made a final attempt and said, "You can actually stay a little longer. The palace is very big and there are many interesting places. You can also stay in Kunning Palace temporarily and experience it." Feeling like a queen.”
???
Shen Xuan was stunned, didn't he agree to be friends?
I consider you a friend, but you actually want to sleep with me?
Shen Xuan was silent for a moment, and did not say anything about whether he would stay or leave. He bowed his hands and turned around. His calm voice came from behind: "I have been promised a great road in this life, and it will be difficult to grant it to you again."
The wind blew by, and Shen Xuan's silky hair fluttered one by one, and then fell again, and the figure moved further and further away.
Shen Xuan rode on the donkey, walked a few steps and then stopped, turned around slightly, gave a handsome profile, and said in a low voice: "Keep the status quo, don't touch the men in your harem, none of them are good..."
After saying that, the donkey stepped on the stone road and left with a series of "ta-da-da..." sounds.
After Shen Xuan left the palace, he was not in a hurry to contact the elders. He was still thinking about buying some gifts for his family and friends, especially Sister Qian Shuang. The excuse this time was to prepare a birthday surprise for her. It would be unreasonable not to choose a decent gift. .
In the street market of the capital, a ridiculously handsome man was holding an ugly donkey in one hand, with a panda sitting on the donkey. This combination has a 100% chance of turning heads. If you meet someone, you will want to take a second look. Of course, there were mostly women, and Shen Xuan was slowly surrounded by the crowd.
He is also very powerless, and it is hard to give up on his natural beauty. Why is this world so full of malice towards beautiful people...
"You're really not polite, ma'am, I don't wear gold hairpins, you should keep them and sell them."
Could it be that if you are too handsome, you don’t have the freedom to go shopping normally...
"I don't want a jade pendant either... You've said so, so I'll just use a safe buckle to play with, but I have to give you money."
"Thank you, lady, but I can lead the donkey by myself. I really don't need it, I really don't need it."
No one cares about how miserable a good-looking person is. It’s too difficult and too painful.
"Auntie, didn't I say I only want Ping An buttons? Why did you pack a bag with them? Gifts are not allowed. You will lose your life if you do this business. If you do this again, I won't take Ping An buttons."
Just when Shen Xuan kept lamenting the indifference of human nature, a loud female voice suddenly remembered in the crowd: "What do you want to do with so many people surrounding this young master! I didn't see the young master's eyes filled with tears. I was almost scared to cry." Is it done?"
Shen Xuan's black question mark, who are you talking about? I'm almost scared to cry?
A strong girl who was almost two meters tall pushed through the crowd, walked up to Shen Xuan easily and said, "Sir, if you want to go shopping, go ahead. I will clear the way for you and escort you. I will ensure that no one dares to block your way again."
Shen Xuan was a little confused. He could actually squeeze through the crowd easily, but there were too many people gathered in this street. If he dared to squeeze in through the crowd, the crowd would definitely become more and more crowded. He didn't want to be beaten by the grandmothers. Women took advantage of me, so I had no choice but to stop at the door of this gold shop.
Now the appearance of this sturdy girl just solved his trouble. For such a good girl who was brave enough to help others, Shen Xuan also expressed his gratitude in his own way. He took out a string of pearl necklaces that he had just bought for five cents and told her to be humble. Shen Xuan put the necklace on the girl's head with his own hands.
"Then I'll bother you, girl. I'd also like to find a few more shops suitable for buying gifts."
The girl also saw that Shen Xuan was a rich man who was not short of money, so she did not refuse the necklace. When she raised her head again, her face was flushed with excitement. She looked around, as proud as a general who had just been decorated, and The pearl necklace around her neck is her military medal. The young master put it on her personally, and she will never take it off again in her life.
Some of the many passers-by were also secretly annoyed, wondering why they had not thought of opening the way for this young master just now. Others realized later that it was not too late to join in. Immediately, seven or eight young girls and young wives volunteered to join him. Push your way out of the crowd and voluntarily join the team opening the way.
Now, Shen Xuan felt much more relaxed when he started shopping. Suddenly, he seemed to have an extra team of bodyguards around him, composed of women, including several beauties.
Is this what it feels like to have a beautiful bodyguard? Yes, I finally feel a little warmth of humanity.
After shopping around, everyone else's gifts were bought, except for Sister Qian Shuang's gift. I really felt that nothing was worthy of Sister Qian Shuang.
Turning his eyes, Shen Xuan suddenly stared at the giant panda gnawing bamboo. Isn't this a ready-made gift?
While the cute panda was eating enthusiastically, it suddenly felt agitated and suddenly felt bad, as if something bad was going to happen to it.
After saying goodbye to the grass protectors, Shen Xuan left to meet with the elders. When the two elders learned that Bing Xinlian had been obtained, they were naturally overjoyed and praised Shen Xuan fiercely. Even the serious and old-fashioned Xie Yan also kept saying good.
Afterwards, the great elder summoned the flying carpet, took two people and a donkey and returned to the Vajra Sect. However, the weather was not beautiful on the way, and it suddenly started raining heavily.
The three of them were all cultivators and were not afraid of the rain. However, Xie Yan was well-informed and said that flying in the rain could easily lead to punishment from the God of Thunder. The three of them then lowered their flying carpet and found a dilapidated ancient temple to temporarily take shelter from the wind and rain. .
I don’t know how long the ancient temple has been abandoned. There are overgrown weeds. When you open the door, dust falls. Suddenly frightened snakes, insects, rats, and ants are also running around. Half of the Buddha statue in the main hall fell to the ground with his head. .
There was no place to sit in the hall, so the three of them stood in the room chatting. When the rain eased slightly, Shen Xuan suddenly held up his hands and said, "I want to go back alone for the rest of the journey. I hope the elder will allow me."
When he accepted Bing Xinlian's mission this time, he originally wanted to take the opportunity to experience some training, but he didn't expect that it ended up being like a tourist. It was completely different from the thrilling world of cultivating immortals described in the novel. This made him a little unwilling. This place is not far or close to the Vajra Sect, so of course he wants to seize the opportunity to practice again.
Although the proposal was a bit sudden, the two elders asked for the reason and discussed it with each other, and finally agreed to Shen Xuan's request.
When the rain stopped, the two elders also left. When they left, Shen Xuan asked them to take Ma Dongmei away, leaving only the donkey demon Dabao. It was getting late, so Shen Xuan planned to stay overnight in the ruined temple.
After barely clearing a clean place, Shen Xuan sighed and shook his head. He could only make do with it tonight. After all, he was away from home. Then he took out the bed, pillow, washbasin, Shang Lianhua and Nuansifang co-branded bedding, lamps and candles, tables, chairs and benches, tableware and cakes, incense...
When moving to the wardrobe, Shen Xuan stopped. After all, simplicity is the main thing when going out, and besides, it will be troublesome to collect things that are not used for the time being tomorrow.
These were all prepared by Sister Qian Shuang for him. He actually didn't care, but since he had brought them, he would not ask for trouble. The training he understood was to fight with strong men and experience the baptism of blood and fire again and again. It's not like sleeping on a pile of straw and eating steamed buns.
The night was as quiet as water. Shen Xuan had been busy for a day and was mentally tired, so he went to bed early and slept with his clothes on. In the darkness, while Shen Xuan was half asleep and half awake, he felt that there seemed to be many more people in the hall, and they were coming. As he was walking, after a while, someone seemed to be pulling down his quilt again.
A chill came over. Shen Xuan opened his eyes and lit the candle. The room was empty. After a closer look, he saw a person squatting in the southwest corner, with his back to him. Shen Xuan could not see her face, but the person had white hair. , stooped, like an old lady.
The old lady squatted there facing the corner, not moving or speaking.
Shen Xuan stood up and wanted to go over and take a look. The old lady suddenly let out a weird laugh of "giggle, gurgling...". Her laugh was extremely weird, and could even be said to be pathological. A normal person would never make such a laugh.
Shen Xuan walked behind the old lady and pulled her shoulders with his hands, trying to see what she was doing.
But at this moment, a cold withered hand was placed on his shoulder silently. The hand had pale skin and a foul odor. It didn't look like a living hand at all. Shen Xuan was pulled by the shoulder and turned around. , facing a pair of empty eye sockets, that person has no eyes!
Shen Xuan sat up with a cry, dripping with cold sweat. It turned out that everything just happened was just a nightmare. He didn't extinguish the candles at all when he went to sleep. The light in the hall gave him some comfort at this time.
Shen Xuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and asked Dabao, who was also in the hall, "Is there anything unusual in the house when I just went to bed?"
No one answered. He called Dabao again, but still no one answered. Shen Xuan felt a little scared now. He turned around and found that the ugly donkey was also asleep. He was so angry that he was barking. He ordered it to keep vigil at night.
Shen Xuan threw a tea cup at him, and Dabao let out a shrill scream and ran wildly around the hall.
Shen Xuan said angrily: "Stop pretending, I didn't use any force at all, you're just howling nonsense."
Dabao was still in shock at this moment, his four limbs were trembling, and he said with great fear: "No, I just had a nightmare, you don't even know how scary it is."
Shen Xuan frowned and asked, "Is she an old lady squatting in the corner?"
"How do you know!"
At this moment, a "creaking" sound suddenly came from the house, like a woman's nails scratching the door panel, the candlelight flickered on and off, and everyone saw fear on the other's face.
Shen Xuan drew out the Bai Ling Sword, walked to the door of the palace in a few steps, and then kicked the broken wooden door open. However, there was no one outside. What he could see was the endless night, and the sound also disappeared. There was a dead silence between heaven and earth. It seemed like this man and one donkey were the only ones left.
Shen Xuan returned to the hall and closed the door. At this moment, the same sound as before came from the room. Listening carefully, it turned out that the sound was under his bed.
