Nine Heavenly Towers

Time passed in meditation like this, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.The weather is also gradually warming up.

As the early sun rose, a large expanse of gold sprinkled over the peaks.

The snow on the snow peaks gradually melted, and some green grass gradually grew on the bare peaks.From time to time, there were bursts of people shouting and neighing under the mountain peak. It was the sound of herdsmen grazing and the horses in the pasture.

Halfway up the mountain, a slender figure was stretched by the golden setting sun.

Looking closer, the owner of this shadow turned out to be a child.The child was humming a little tune that no one could understand, and he was playing with a small piece of jade in his hand.

"Hey...! Meditate and practice every day. It's really boring. It's been a month, and I haven't broken through the first level of the qi refining period. My little sister broke through the first level of the qi refining period three days ago. Better than little senior sister." The child muttered while playing with the small jade vessel.This child is that Xuanmu.

Three days ago, little senior sister Xuanyan had already broken through the first floor of the Qi refining period and entered the second floor.But the master told Xuanmu that he was still on the first floor, Xuanmu couldn't sit still for a few days, and felt that meditating was really meaningless.He wanted to go down the mountain to play, he knew that there was a big city three hundred miles east of Kunlun Mountain called Fengxiang Mansion.His purpose this time is to go to Fengxiang Mansion to redeem some available items.Especially oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar are indispensable. He feels a little nauseous after eating white rice these days.

"Junior brother, wait for me." Suddenly, a child's voice like a silver bell sounded behind him, and he frowned, with an ominous premonition.Turning his head quickly, he found that, as he expected, it was his little senior sister——Xuan Yan.

"Senior Sister Yan, what are you doing here?" Xuan Mu hadn't quarreled with Xuan Yan for a long time, so he respected her a little.

"I'm going down the mountain to play, and I will protect my junior brother along the way." Xuan Yan found a high-sounding reason for herself to go down the mountain privately.

"You protect me? Then I don't know who protects whom." Xuan Mu said as he walked alone.

"You must know that you are on the first floor of the Qi refining stage. I am already on the second floor of the Qi refining stage, and the master even taught me a little spell. Do you want to see it?" Xuanyan said quite proudly.

"Spell? What kind of spell." As soon as Xuan Mu was mentioned, he immediately regained his energy and asked hastily.

"Small spell, water condensation." Xuan Yan said, pointing her right hand towards the air in front of her, a drop of water immediately appeared in the air, and then slowly landed.

"Hey, that's all! What am I thinking?" Xuan Mu just regained his energy, but immediately changed his expression to disdain.

"What are you talking about? You don't even know any spells. Be envious, widen your eyes and be envious!"

"There's nothing to envy." Xuan Mu said, his figure gradually drifting away.

Suddenly, a wild horse broke into Xuan Mu's sight.Immediately, he regained his energy and slowly approached the wild horse that was grazing.

"Boy, what about stealing the horse?" Xuan Yan, who was in the distance, shouted out of nowhere.

This time it was good, the wild horse heard Xuan Yan's call, and immediately galloped forward, running tens of feet away in the blink of an eye.Even if Xuan Mu wanted to chase him, he couldn't catch up.

"Smelly girl, you dare to spoil my good deeds." Xuan Mu was already gnashing his teeth in hatred at this time, and looked at Xuan Yan with fiery eyes.

"What stinky girl? No big or small, not polite. Call me senior sister." Xuan Yan said nonchalantly.

"Are you quick on your legs? Do you know where I'm going?"

"I don't know where you are going. Are you going to run away? With your aptitude, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, masters and uncles will catch you back."

"What escape? I'm going to Fengxiang Mansion to redeem some things. Could it be that Senior Sister wants me to walk there?"

"There is nothing wrong with walking. The master said that 'walking is also a kind of practice, practice and practice, sit and practice, walk and walk'."

"You... girl, I won't tell you anymore. Let's go! I'll see how far you've gone." Xuan Mu was so angry that his nostrils couldn't breathe properly, he snorted, and walked eastward.

It is said that the two of them can really walk, from morning to noon, they came to Qingfeng Town, the first town at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, thirty miles away.After coming to Qingfeng Town, the two planned to cheat.After all, the two are penniless now.

On the edge of a certain wall outside Qingfeng Town, there were bursts of rustling sounds.

"Little brother, where did you get this ring?" A little girl's voice came out, following the voice, one could see a little girl about ten years old.The girl is wearing a white gown with her hair tied up in a bun.This girl is Na Xuanyan.

"Girl, your eyes are really thieves. When did you stare at the ring on my hand? This is a treasure passed down from my family." Another little boy said with a guilty look while covering the ring on his right hand with his left hand. that ring.Needless to say, this child is Xuan Mu, also dressed in a white gown.

Xuanyan heard that it was Xuanmu's family heirloom, and asked in disbelief, "How much is your family heirloom worth?"

"I don't know, it might be a priceless treasure. My parents told me that I would rather die than sell it." Xuan Mu immediately said with some dissatisfaction. "Didn't you say that your family is very rich? Why are you thinking about the two treasures on me?"

Xuanyan replied in a low voice: "What? My family is rich. But it's in Chang'an! I didn't bring any money when I came here. I asked you to sell the piece of jade that you stole from the temple. Ken. If you're willing to sell the jade, we'll have money, and then we'll buy two horses. When I get to Chang'an, I'll return it to you twice. Isn't that all right?"

"How much can that jade be sold in this small town? How many people know how to sell it? You won't suffer a loss if you sell it after you arrive at Fengxiang Mansion, you know? In my opinion! Let's go and cheat, if we can. How much counts." Xuanmu's eyes flickered, and he came up with a bad idea.

"How to lie?" Xuan Yan asked curiously.After all, she is a girl from an aristocratic family, so Xuanmu doesn't know much about the low-class techniques in society.

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

After the two discussed it for a while, they began to prepare for bluffing and deceiving.

"Hi, folks, folks, come and see, come and see." Xuan Yan's childish voice, like a silver bell, rang out in the open space in the center of Qingfeng Town.

For a moment, the surrounding villagers were startled by this little girl.A pair of surprised eyes looked towards this side.

"Fathers and folks, today, Master Xuanmu and Master Xuanyan came to Qingfeng Town to give blessings. Folks who want to pray for blessings, come and see." Immediately afterwards, Xuanmu's equally immature voice sounded.

"By the way, there are immortals in heaven, and immortals bless the people. I, Xuanyan and Xuanmu, are cultivators of immortality. I came here today to enlighten the villagers and give you some blessings." Xuanyan sang loudly .

"What blessing water?" A big man from the northwest came to watch, but he didn't see anything interesting, so he raised his hoarse voice and asked doubtfully.

"Yeah, what kind of blessing water? Could it be that this child is bluffing and deceiving." Another woman with a strong physique also questioned.

For a while, doubts arose everywhere.

"Child? Who do you call a child? Poor Dao Xuanyan has been cultivating immortality for a hundred years, and she still maintains a childlike face." Xuanyan immediately put her right palm on her chest and said with a dignified look.

A dark-faced woman saw Xuan Yan still showing a serious look, and she had quite disdain in her eyes.As soon as he pushed Xuanyan with his right hand, he was about to reprimand him.Unexpectedly, Xuanyan didn't push the slightest bit, but was bounced a few feet away instead.

Seeing this, all the villagers gathered around, their eyes flickered, and they no longer questioned.Most people believed Xuan Yan's words, only a few people still didn't believe it in their hearts and bowed their heads in silence.

"Today, you angered me. I will no longer cast spells." Xuan Mu said, making a look like he was about to leave.

A group of villagers hurriedly pulled Xuanmu to persuade him to stop. "I'm a fool, but I don't know Mount Tai. I offended the immortal for a while, and I hope the immortal will not be offended."

"Senior brother is a bit arrogant. Since you are here, you have to give some blessings before you leave. Since senior brother is not willing, then let junior sister come." Xuan Yan shook her head and said helplessly. "The folks who want to pray for blessings quickly bring the utensils to hold the blessed water. These blessed waters were brought from the Heavenly Palace. Cherish them very much."

When a group of villagers heard this, they immediately took out a lot of utensils, most of them were people from small shops around.They came one by one with big bowls and small bowls.

"No, since I have offended Xuanmu, naturally I can't give blessings to these troublesome people." Xuanmu immediately showed dissatisfaction, wanting to stop Xuanyan.

"Immortal, we foolish people are ignorant. That's why we offended the immortal, and I hope that the immortal's strength will not matter." Seeing this, the black-faced woman hurriedly begged Xuanmu.

A group of villagers also begged, hoping that the two immortals could bestow blessings on them.At this time, they had completely believed that these two people were immortals.

"That's all, that's all." Xuan Mu waved his hands again and again, and said with a merciful look that the adults don't remember the faults of the villains: "Since you are begging sincerely, then give some charity."

"Sincerely, sincerely." "Sincerely, sincerely. Must be sincere." All the villagers quickly echoed.

"However, this blessing water is one tael of silver and a drop. Take the silver first, and then give the blessing water." Xuan Mu said coldly.

After Xuanmu said this, many villagers dispersed for a while, and there were only a dozen or so people watching, all of them showed suspicion and disbelief.

The man from the Northwest began to be tempted by the blessed water, and was a little moved. At this time, when he heard about the money, he also became suspicious, and asked: "If it is real fairy water, it is worth a tael of silver. If it is not fairy water, how much is half a cent?" Don't even try to get the money."

"Okay, then you can bring your water container." Xuan Yan said with some dissatisfaction leaning against the wall.

The big man from Northwest held a small bowl in his right hand, walked up to Xuanyan with it in his right hand, and knelt on the ground reverently.Said: "Please the immortal bless the water."
