Liao Zhai alchemist

Chapter 159 The Ancient Past

Outside Asan City, two ragged men, with three and a half children, were thanking the leader of a caravan.

"Thank you for bringing me to Mount Asan, I don't even know what to say." The man said to the leader.

The team leader waved his hands and said, "They are all from the same village, why are you talking about this. I hope you will come here to visit your relatives and live a good life."

The man nodded and bowed to him, thanked him repeatedly, and then led his family into Asan City.

A family of five, the woman said: "The head of the house, after so many years, can you still find it?"

The man nodded and said, "I heard from the dentist that the person who bought her was from a rich family and must be very famous. Let's find out after we inquire."

With that said, he came to a small vendor and said with a smile, "Brother, let me ask you something."

The small vendor looked at the family and said impatiently, "Just say what you have, and don't disturb my business."

The man immediately said: "Is there a big businessman in Eshan, named Zhang! Where is their home?"

As soon as the man heard this, he looked at them suspiciously and said, "The Zhang family? But Zhang Wei's talented Zhang family? They are the only family in the city named Zhang, and they do big business."

When the man heard this, he nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, I heard that their baby is a scholar."

The vendor looked at the family again, pointed to the way and said, "It's just ahead, the Zhang family's house is there, it's easy to identify."

The man was overjoyed, thanked him quickly, and then left with his wife and children.

While walking, he said, "Look, this house is very famous, and we found it soon."

When the woman heard this, the uneasiness on her face eased, and she continued, "But Xiaoqian has been bought by us for so many years, so I don't know if she still recognizes us."

The man waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's impossible to deny it. We are her uncle and aunt. There is no one who doesn't recognize her."

He said, and walked quickly.

Before long, they came to a big house.There is a pair of plaques hanging on the house, on which are written the two big characters of Zhang Zhai.

In ancient times, the plaques in the house were very particular.Ordinary people can't put up plaques under the eaves. Generally, they can only hang a vertical wooden board next to the door, which says so-and-so.

Only officials of the third grade or above can put up a plaque with a certain house written on it.

As for the title of a certain mansion, it can only be established by a person with a title of merit.

Zhang Wei's house erected a plaque with the words 'Zhang's House', which is somewhat against the regulations.But it's still the same sentence, if the people don't raise officials, they don't investigate. Officials, big and small, turn a blind eye to this kind of thing.

The family looked at the magnificent gate, the gate with red and black background.They all shrank their necks a little.

"I didn't expect the family Xiaoqian came to be so rich." The man sighed, this is much more luxurious than the big family in their county.

Gathering his mind, the man summoned up his courage and knocked on the door.

At this time, a small door next to it suddenly opened, and an old man walked out and cursed: "What are you doing? Are you able to knock on this door? If you dirty the door, see if I don't beat you to death!"

When the man was drunk by the old man, he immediately apologized and said with a smile: "Old man, we are here to find relatives."

"Looking for relatives?" This old man is from the authentic Zhang family, when he heard this, he immediately sized this person up and down, after looking for a while, he didn't recognize him, and immediately asked: "Who are you, what kind of relatives are you looking for? "

The man immediately said: "We are from Gaotang County, surnamed Nie, looking for my niece, named Nie Xiaoqian."

"What a mess! We don't have anyone named Nie Xiaoqian here, you are looking for the wrong one!" The old man heard that they were not relatives of the Zhang family, so he immediately drove these people away.

It is normal to look for relatives. If you are poor in the downtown area, no one will ask you, and if you are rich, you will have distant relatives in the mountains.Now that the Zhang family is wealthy, there are many relatives who beat around the bush.

As an excellent concierge, the first thing is to get rid of such unreliable things.

As soon as the man heard this, he became anxious, and immediately said: "Yes, yes! She was sold in as a servant girl, and she was sold in very early!"

"Nonsense! Where is our family called..." Without saying the word Xiaoqian, he suddenly thought of Miss Qian.

Since the young master recovered, no one in this family except the master and the young master would dare to call Miss Qian 'Xiaoqian'!
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Miss Qian will be either an aunt or the head of the inner courtyard in the future, who would dare to disrespect her.

The situation of the Zhang family is a bit special, because it is a family that has suddenly become rich, and Zhang's father's parents have died long ago. This family is different from other big families in that there are not many core figures in this family.

Except for the master, there is only the young master left.Even the wife who was supposed to be in charge of the affairs of the inner courtyard died early.

And Zhang's father didn't have a reunion, and he didn't have any concubines. The affairs of the inner courtyard were all taken care of by the old housekeeper, which was actually out of courtesy!The affairs of the inner courtyard should be managed by the mistress. If the master's wife is not around, it should be managed by the heir's wife.

And Xiaoqian is the woman who has the best chance to be the master of the backyard!
The concierge didn't dare to chase people away, but looked at these people again and again.They all knew about Xiaoqian's life experience, and indeed she was bought, but the life experience of the people after the purchase was all left to the owner.If it is an ordinary maid, the concierge can send these people away. If you are kind, you can contact me.

But it was Miss Qian's matter, so he didn't dare to go overboard and do it for her.

He considered his tone and said: "Miss Qian is not at home now. She went to Jinhua City with the young master and the master. This is the old house, and the new house is on the other side of Jinhua City."

The man was dumbfounded when he heard it, and he shouted: "This...we just escaped from Gaotang County, and now we are penniless, how do we go to Jinhua City! You, you can't lie to me, right? ?”

When the old man at the gate heard it, he was a little annoyed: "Why am I lying to you? You can find out after you inquire about it."

This man was not polite, and he was too lazy to say more.He walked into the small door by himself and closed the door behind him.

Now the whole family was dumbfounded, and the woman hurriedly said to the man: "The head of the family, what should I do?"

..................................................................

In Jinhua City, Zhang Wei and Eshui Water God met again.

Zhang Wei took out a barrier-breaking pill and said, "I've already refined this pill for you, and you owe me a big favor."

Heisha was also unambiguous, pointing directly to the sky and swearing: "From now on, I, Heisha, swear to the sky, and I guarantee with my godhead that I will never fight against Zhang Wei in the future, nor will I do anything harmful to Zhang Wei." , if there is any violation, the sky will be struck by lightning!"

His words were a divine oath.If ordinary people want to make this kind of oath, they can also make it under the witness of a certain god, which means that the god is your witness and report this oath to heaven.

So, don't swear in statues, temples and other places if you have nothing to do.

Zhang Wei nodded, gave him the pill and left.

Holding the elixir, Heisha quietly returned to Cai Shujun's small courtyard.

At this time, Cai Shujun is still sad for her "memory".Heisha thought for a while, and suddenly appeared in front of her.

Cai Shujun was taken aback, a big man in black suddenly appeared in front of her, anyone would be startled.

Heisha looked at her, squeezed out a smile and said, "Don't be afraid, I have no malicious intentions."

He said so, but Cai Shujun still took a few steps back in fear.She just wanted to call for help, but Heisha immediately said, "Do you want to make this flower bloom again?"

This sentence interrupted Cai Shujun's shouting, she nodded and asked hesitantly, "Do you have a solution?"

Heisha nodded, shook his head again, and said, "I can't help it, but you can. I have a elixir here, after you take it, you will have the ability to make it open again."

After finishing speaking, he took out the Breaking Barrier Pill, and at this moment, he looked like a strange sorghum who tricked a little girl into eating a lollipop.

At this time, Cai Shujun was hesitant, but Heisha continued: "Don't worry, I won't harm you."

After finishing speaking, he put the elixir on the ground, and after that, his whole body changed, and he jumped into the pool to become that little black fish.

Seeing this scene, Cai Shujun reacted.

"You're a little black fish?!"

There are many fish in her pond, but this black little black fish left a deep impression on her. Whenever she took the fish food to feed the fish, other fish would grab the food, but only the little black fish Not fighting or making trouble, just staring at himself blankly.

Thinking of this, her heart settled, if Little Heiyu had wrong thoughts about her, then something would have happened to her long ago.

So Cai Shujun picked up the elixir on the ground and swallowed it.

After swallowing the elixir, she suddenly felt dizzy, and then fell down softly.Before she fainted, her last thought was: "Oops, I was framed by a small fish!"

At this time, a pair of big hands hugged her, and then sent her back to the room.

Heisha looked at Cai Shujun who had passed out, and sat beside him quietly.

......................................................

Many, many years ago, in Mount Asan, there was an unnamed waterfall.

This waterfall is not big, only more than one foot high. There is a pool of clear water under the waterfall, and there is a cluster of orchids beside the clear water.

One day, there was a flood in the mountain, and the water volume of the waterfall increased sharply. A small black fish the size of a palm was washed down the waterfall and into the pool.

The little black fish was very angry, and it wanted to swim back to the top of the waterfall.But with the turbulent current and the one-foot drop, how could this one-inch small fish make it over.

After trying it, Xiaoyu resigned to his fate very depressed, and survived in this pool.

The place where the pool is located is the source of Eshui.This is a sensitive and beautiful place, where the aura of Mount Asan gathers here, nourishing this small place.

Xiaoyu found that he was growing faster here than upstream of the waterfall, and gradually stopped thinking about going upstream.

Although this water pool is sensitive and beautiful, it is trapped in a natural maze, and foreign animals cannot enter, making this water pool deserted.

Fortunately, Xiaoyu didn't care about these things, he just breathed out spiritual energy quietly and practiced mana.

I don't know how long it took, but one day, he suddenly found that the orchids by the pool were blooming.

He has seen this orchid bloom countless times, but this time is different, in the petals of the orchid, a small person with one finger tall appeared!

When the little black fish found the little man, the little man also found the little black fish.

"Hello!" The little man greeted the little black fish.

The little black fish didn't want to pay attention to her, and even flicked its tail, splashing a cloud of water and splashing her first.

The little person was splashed all over the face by the spray, but instead of getting angry, she 'giggled'.

"I don't want you to water, I can drink water myself!" She thought the little fish was watering her, and she happily explained.

Xiaoyu ignored her and dived into the water instead, thinking in his heart: "I'm afraid this is not a fool!"

But from that day on, the water pool was no longer deserted, because a little man who loved to laugh and play appeared.

In the morning, she collects morning beads from her leaves.At noon, she would hide from the sun under the leaves, and in the evening, she would take a bath by the water.

Then at night, she wraps herself up in the leaves and sleeps by the light of the stars.

The little black fish watched all these silently, he was very surprised, why didn't this person practice cultivation?Is the good time spent in play?

Finally one day, the struggling little black fish finally couldn't understand the little man's sloppy attitude, he surfaced and asked, "Why don't you cultivate, what do you do every day?"

The little man was very happy, because this was the first time that the little black fish talked to her.

It's just that this question is a bit strange, she asked: "What is practice? Is it fun?"

The little black fish was speechless at once.He is a different species from heaven and earth, and the knowledge of cultivation exists in his blood.He sighed helplessly, turned around and was about to dive into the water.

And the little man saw that the little black fish was about to leave, so he asked a little anxiously: "Are you leaving? Then can you teach me how to practice?"

Hearing this, the little black fish paused, then returned to the surface of the water and said: "Cultivation is very difficult, you can't relax!"

In this way, perhaps because he likes to be a teacher, or perhaps because of his loneliness, the little black fish began to guide the little man to practice.

This time has passed for more than a hundred years.

The little man back then has now turned into a slim person, while the little black fish has not changed much, except that its body has changed from the size of a palm to three feet long.

The little man has changed from the original orchid fairy to the current orchid demon.

That night, the orchid demon Lan Shujun looked at the stars in the sky, and suddenly said: "We have been here for a long, long time, do you want to go and see the outside world?"

Heiyu shook his head and said, "It's pretty good here. I plan to practice until I'm a big monster. It's too dangerous outside. It's safer if I have strength."

When Lan Shujun heard this, she was a little unhappy.She pouted and said, "Why are you doing this? There is no danger in this world. I think you are too timid."

Lan Shujun used aggressive methods on him.

Heiyu blocked the provocative method and was not provoked at all.

In his blood inheritance, the outside world is very dangerous.Either others want to eat them, or they want to eat others.

According to the records in the book, their meat can be eaten without confusion.

So, let's wait for him to be stronger before going out.
