Slow and immortal

Chapter 89

Chapter 88

This cry was clear and sweet, with a little surprise and joy, making Xiao Yao turn around in confusion.I saw three beautiful female cultivators standing behind me, one of them was Zhao Qingyan who I met in Xiushan School 50 years ago, she was wearing a light purple embroidered skirt, with a transparent veil under her eyes and nose , the standard Zhao family female logo, looking at herself with a smile.

"It turned out to be Daoist Zhao, what a coincidence." Xiao Yao also smiled back, because it was rare to see a female cultivator without the airs of a young lady, and she still had a good impression of this Miss Zhao who had only chatted a few words.

Her smile made Zhao Qingyan very happy, and she stepped forward to hold her hand affectionately: "It seems that we are indeed destined for each other. When I was in Xiushan School last time, I wanted to talk to you again later. Just a few words, I didn’t expect to meet a fellow Taoist who said that you had already left. Look, it’s not fate to meet each other after 50 years. By the way, Xiao Yao also came here to watch the trial of the hundred people list What? We can just travel together."

Such an intimate behavior made Xiao Yao startled and a little confused. They only met for the first time 50 years ago, and they never met for the second time in between. How could the other party suddenly have such a good impression of her after 50 years?If she had ever met her second senior sister, she would not have heard the rumors of Xianyumen.

Although this kind of intimacy is a bit strange at present, Xiao Yao does not reject it, because of her special cultivation situation, she has always been a loner, not to mention like-minded people, not even fellow practitioners who can say a few words, and there are either elders or enemies around her , there is also a bird/beast who is neither an enemy nor a friend and always likes to bicker with him.In a sense, Zhao Qingyan was barely a confidant, so she felt a little casual in her heart, and let her hold her back and said: "There was a reason for what happened last time, I must hurry back to the sect, and I forgot to talk to you when I left in a hurry. Fellow Daoist Zhao said hello, and I hope you will forgive me for being rude. Speaking of fellow travellers, the next visit is actually not purely to watch the game, but just a coincidence to sign up and come to participate in the trial."

Seeing that she was being polite to him, Zhao Qingyan said in a slightly dissatisfied tone on purpose: "Hey, what fellow Daoist Zhao, Xiao Yao can just call me Qingyan directly, don't be polite, I'm just being polite. Even if we participate in the trial, it doesn't hinder us from going together Ah, anyway, Jingying is also here to participate in the [-]-person list, and it happens that four of us can play here together in our spare time, so wouldn't it be great if we can help you out?"

After finishing speaking, he did not forget to wink at her, and suddenly said through voice transmission, "Do you think I am a little strange? I will explain to you later."

"Qingyan, do you have a good talk with this fellow Daoist Xiao? Just leave me and Xiao Xiaoliang aside, and don't introduce us?"

Just when Zhao Qingyan was playful and Xiao Yao couldn't help but laugh, a female cultivator who was walking with Zhao Qingyan suddenly spoke.She has a very beautiful appearance, with her arms folded around her chest, she has the air of a worldly quack, and she looks very capable.Although she was talking to Zhao Qingyan, she kept looking at Xiao Yao curiously with her smiling eyes.

"Look at me, I forget when I see acquaintances when I get excited," Zhao Qingyan smiled shyly, pointing to the female nun who spoke just now, "This is He Jingying, a disciple of the old monster Yaoshan of the Demon Sect, and this one..."

She pointed to another girl with a beautiful face and an orchid aura who looked at the three of them shyly from the beginning to the end, "Murong Xiaoxiao is a direct disciple of the Murong family. And she..."

Zhao Qingyan smiled and pulled Xiao Yao in front of the two of them, "It is the strange woman I often tell you about that I admire very much, Xian Yumen, Xiao Yao."

Appreciate what?Xiao Yao was a little puzzled, but still greeted the two girls very friendly: "Fellow Daoist He, Fellow Daoist Murong."

The female cultivator named He Jingying walked around Xiao Yao generously and looked at her carefully for a moment, then put her arms around her waist and rested her chin with one hand, nodded with a smile and said: "It turns out that the one we Qingyan has never forgotten is You, remember that Qingyan said that you were only at the early stage of Golden Core, but now you have only reached the middle stage of Golden Core after only 50 years of dual spiritual root qualifications, which shows that you practice hard. I admire people who practice hard, and I believe in Qingyan's vision , her friend is my friend, you can just call me Jingying."

"I, I... have no objections, the girl can call me Xiaoxiao, and..." Murong Xiaoxiao, who has always been very shy, also suddenly stated, "This girl Xiao Yao smells good too..." Said Then she lowered her head shyly.

This sentence made He Jingying's eyes brighten, and she suddenly raised her hand and patted Xiao Yao's shoulder boldly, "Well, even Xiaoxiao's sense of smell said that, Xiao Yao, I recognize you even more!"

"Jingying, can you be more gentle, don't scare Xiao Yao?" Seeing her big man appearance, Qingyan couldn't help shaking her head, "Xiao Yao, let's go, let's find a place to sit down and chat first, standing on the street Too many people have seen it."

The three beauties were standing on the street, all of them were disciples of the top sect families in the world of cultivating immortals, so they would naturally attract the attention of some passing monks, so Xiao Yao was dragged to a restaurant by the three of them in a daze.

Now is a special period, and the restaurant is almost full. The four of them managed to find a table in a corner of the second floor. As soon as they sat down, Zhao Qingyan sent a voice transmission to Xiao Yao, "Last time, your senior sister named Su and me We talked a lot."

Sure enough, Xiao Yao smiled without saying a word, and directly waited for her next words.

Seeing that Xiao Yao was so calm and calm, Zhao Qingyan was a little bit annoyed, "Aren't you curious about what I talked to her about?"

"I can probably guess what she will say, but isn't Qing Yan unbelieving?" Xiao Yao was speechless, this is not an obvious fact, if she believed it, how could she still be so enthusiastic about herself.

Zhao Qingyan giggled with a light smoke, and she was in a good mood, "Xiao Yao is really smart, so what, she spared no effort to talk about it, and the expression of jealousy and hatred on her face is similar to those of mine. The sisters in the family are exactly the same, but the means of slander are a bit low. After listening to it, I admire Xiao Yao very much. He can break the alchemy and form the alchemy again. How can ordinary people understand this kind of hardship? The first strange woman!"

Xiao Yao was a little embarrassed to be praised sincerely by the other party from the bottom of her heart, which made herself blush a little even when she was usually indifferent to everything.

"The worst thing is that she spread rumors that you are a furnace. The atmosphere in the world of cultivating immortals is so bad nowadays. They always speculate on others with the worst malice, no matter what the facts are. Don't you know that after being recruited, you will lose your breath, and you will lose your breath." How could it be possible to successfully form the alchemy again, in fact..."

Zhao Qingyan suddenly looked at her with envy and admiration, "Xiao Yao has a sweetheart, right? So...even if she is hindered, she still has no regrets..."

Xiao Yao was taken aback for a moment, and then the corners of her eyes twitched involuntarily. Could it be that this girl regards herself as a bitter heroine in an opera? !

"Well, it's sort of..." Unable to explain truthfully, she could only cover up her depression with vague words.

"Don't worry, as a friend, I will support you both in action and in spirit!" Zhao Qingyan first glanced at her with admiration and regret, then suddenly thought of something, and said a little embarrassedly, "From just now I was the one who brought Xiao Yao here on my own, and didn't ask your opinion, I don't know if Xiao Yao would like to make friends with us."

Xiao Yao looked at her, then at Murong Xiaoxiao, who kept her head down in embarrassment, and He Jingying, who looked very manly. Obviously, these women are not normal girls in the eyes of others, but why not?People say that like attracts like, so in my eyes, the three girls in front of me are too pleasing to the eye!

"The Dao is lonely, and it is a blessing in Xiao Yao's life to have three such confidants." Xiao Yao did not use voice transmission in this sentence, but directly expressed her attitude with sincerity.

Zhao Qingyan was overjoyed, although she knew it when Xiao Yao called her name, she still hoped that the other party would say it herself.

"Jingying! Did you hear that? She agreed."

Compared to Zhao Qingyan's joy, He Jingying's face was calm, "Qingyan, are you sure you have made it clear to Xiao Yao? Can you tell her the truth about the lives of the three of us? Don't let people not know beforehand, and later be told Pointing and pointing, I don’t know why.”

"I didn't say it. How can I say this? In my opinion, those rumors are farts! Knowing that you are bold, why don't you say it?" Zhao Qingyan shook her head, as if there was something she didn't want to say. It aroused Xiao Yao's curiosity, and looked at He Jingying, hoping to give herself some hints.

"Okay." Although He Jingying has a bold personality, she seems to be a bit embarrassed to talk about rumors. She looked around the restaurant, pointed to one of the tables, and said, "I don't know how Xiao Yao's consciousness is. If If you can hear the conversation of the five people at the table, you will understand after listening to it for a quarter of an hour, and if you can’t hear it, I will tell you."

He Jingying's cultivation is the same as Zhao Qingyan's at the late stage of Jindan, and although the five people on the table she pointed to are all at the middle and lower stages of Jindan, even so, if they can hear their conversations, they will still get yuan. Infant stage, it can be seen that this goddess consciousness is also very strong.

Xiao Yao focused a little, and then heard the discussion on the other side's table, and within a quarter of an hour she understood everything about how crystal clear it was.

It turns out that He Jingying and Murong Xiaoxiao are quite well-known outside, but naturally they are not good reputations.Generally, as long as the disciples of the four sects and three schools are not weak, they will inevitably be gossiped by the cultivators in the world of immortals. After all, the curiosity and yearning for the great sects make many people point out with curiosity or jealousy. .Xiao Yaojue should have been rumored in the past, but she disappeared from the world of cultivating immortals for a hundred years after the broken alchemy, and she lived in a shallow place later, so she had been forgotten by everyone.

These rumors usually praise immortals, and there are also malicious slanders. Just like He Jingying, because of her beautiful face, she is often mistaken for a prostitute by people who judge people by appearance, and often encounters a lot of harassment, but it can be seen from the sect she belongs to In fact, she is a free and easy person who is not restrained by the world, and she behaves like a man.This kind of male cultivator who molested female cultivators is the most disgusting, and she is strong, ranking No. The eunuch, who made many male cultivators who wanted to pick flowers famous and discolored, spread some gossip, saying that she was bloodthirsty, good at killing, and her methods were extremely cruel.However, she is free and easy by nature, and she believes that the clear is self-clearing, and she doesn't want to explain more, that's why these rumors spread today.

The other person, Murong Xiaoxiao's rumors are even more outrageous, saying that although she looks cute and pure on the surface, she is actually a slut who likes to have sex with men, smell men, and finally say that this man is nothing Good stuff, extremely poor quality.But in Xiao Yao's opinion, this girl named Murong Xiaoxiao is very shy even in front of women, how could she do such a thing?Just now she also heard the girl say that she smells good, but they had no contact before, probably this is just a special ability of this girl.

As for the last Zhao Qingyan, she didn't hear any harsh criticisms, but she was very friendly with the two of them. Naturally, everyone thought that those who were close to Zhu were those who were red and those who were close to ink were black, so she would not be a good girl.

"I've finished listening." After clarifying her thoughts, Xiao Yao replied without any strange expression.

"How do you feel?" Although He Jingying asked her with a serious expression, there was a smile in her eyes that couldn't be concealed.

"Miss Jingying must have heard Qingyan mention her subordinates, what do you think?" She asked back.

Those who do good things disrupt the situation, distort the facts, mix the true and the false, those people in the world are just following the trend to watch the fun, they don't care about the true and false, and the thing didn't happen to them, so why not do it when there are jokes?
After a while, this bold girl stood up and patted her shoulder, and then she patted her shoulder again, "I like you!"

Seeing this, Zhao Qingyan let out a burst of laughter, even Murong Xiaoxiao lowered her head and covered the corners of her lips while laughing, although Xiao Yao's face was helpless, there was warmth rising in her heart, "I like you very much too. "

"Okay! Xiaoer! Serve some good wine!" He Jingying smiled happily, slapped the table and began to call Xiaoer to serve wine, "To celebrate that we have another good sister, let's have a good time today. A few jars of spiritual wine, we will not return until we are drunk, and I will be accounted for."

He Jingying had a beautiful face, but her words were very masculine, which made the three of them laugh together again. After the drinks came, they served some side dishes, and they ate and chatted very comfortably.

Ordinary monks drink alcohol through the dantian to evaporate the alcohol out of the body, basically they will not get drunk, and He Jingying is just talking about it. What monks pay attention to when drinking is just an atmosphere, most of them are the habits formed when they were mortals. , the mellow and spicy taste in the mouth, and the fiery heat that slides into the stomach often make people feel more comfortable.

Xiao Yao seldom drank wine before, but in such an atmosphere, she fell in love with this kind of spicy taste, drinking with her bosom friend, it's really wonderful, wonderful!

During the conversation with the four of them, Xiao Yao finally knew why that girl Xiaoxiao "smelled" others.This is an innate trait of hers, she can intuitively judge other people's character through smell, and in Jingying's words, she can find people who "smell the same".Since the girl is timid and shy, and she doesn't know how to tell lies, she has offended many monks. Fortunately, Jingying is there to protect her, and she even cultivates together, so the relationship is very good.

The chatting continued until nightfall, and the four of them finally left the venue, because the second day will draw lots to determine the order of the contestants and their opponents, and Xiao Yao has just arrived in Danqing Town and has not yet visited the martial art inn to meet her master.

Before the end of the show, the four of them made an appointment to go out to play together after the lottery was drawn tomorrow, and then they really went back to the inn.

As soon as Xiao Yao came to the Fulou Inn under the Xianyu Gate, she went directly to meet her master, and then took a rest in the room. After dawn, the sect would bring her to the fair hall in Danqing Town to draw lots.

At dawn on the second day, Xiao Yao followed the sect to the fair hall, and saw that many monks from the sect's family had already gathered there, except for Ji Hao, other familiar faces could be seen there.Especially that Wang Xi, who looked sad and sad, and seemed to be about to come forward and complain like weeping.

Xiao Yao trembled, pretending that she didn't see him, but sent a voice transmission greeting to He Jingying who was smiling and waving at her.

At this time, a well-rounded Yuanying old man came walking from outside. There was no logo on his clothes, and he seemed to be from the San Xiumeng. He was holding a huge stick in his hand, and there were many wooden long sticks in it. The card, presumably it should be the lottery to be drawn this time.I saw him come to the front of everyone in the fair hall, and with a wave of his hand, a golden list more than ten meters long appeared beside him, on which were written horizontally from "one" to "two thousand and two", a total of two thousand The number zero and two indicates the number of people participating in the hundred people list this time.

"The lottery begins!" This powerful sender didn't seem to be a person who likes to talk nonsense, and even skipped the opening ceremony and went directly to the topic.

According to the ranking of sects and families, Xianyu Sect was the first to draw lots.After the No. 1 disciple stepped forward to draw, he handed the wooden stick and the competition token to the old man, but the old man took back the wooden stick, glanced at the token, and pointed to the gold list, and it was immediately under the number "eighty" A person's name was displayed, which was obviously the number plate of this disciple in this competition.

The whole process from drawing to filling was done in one go, and the progress was very fast. After a while, it was Xiao Yao's turn. She randomly pulled out one, with the words: [-] on it.

Although I know my brand number, I don't know who I will be fighting against for the time being. According to the previous practice, I will only know the day before the trial. Competitive, these must be decided by the Nascent Soul masters of the four factions and three schools.
