second to none

Chapter 13

Yuan Zhong didn't sleep well all night, he pinched and pinched the dancing and singing wooden man, and poured some tea into it from time to time, watching it dance and sing funny, he was so happy that he laughed.

When he saw Ji Tanyin again the next day, he didn't know why he thought she was much more pleasing to the eye.

He remembered that Tanghua was always proud of having two stunning maids by his side, so what's the matter, he had a craftsman with ingenious craftsmanship by his side.

Yuan Zhong was in a strange mood for no reason, hoping that she would make something interesting again. Seeing her digging and grinding hard in the guest room early in the morning, he leaned over to look curiously—she was polishing a glass lens , and there are already a dozen ready-made lenses at hand.

"...you are still doing this nasty thing." He hated the fake mirror so much that he wished he could smash it all.

"This is not a fake mirror."

Tan Yin's face was shining, full of the senior craftsman's sense of accomplishment and pride in his work.She handed the small lens to the big monk, motioned him to put it in front of his eyes, and said: "Come, see me."

Yuanzhong looked over according to his words, through the glass lens, her appearance became very ridiculous, her head was round and big, and her two eyes blinked stupidly.

"Nothing appeared?" He tossed the lens back and forth, "What the hell?"

"This is called a good luck mirror." Tan Yin named it solemnly, "Go and see the people on the street."

Looking at the bustling pedestrians on the street through the lens, he realized that some people had a small red cloud above their heads, and some had a small black cloud above their heads, and the colors were different.He saw with his own eyes a man with a small cloud on his head as black as ink being stolen from his purse by a thief. He didn't notice it at all, but entered a gambling house excitedly—he would be beaten into a rag soon .

"This is interesting!" Yuan Zhong watched with relish, and pointed the lens at Tan Yin again, but there was nothing on top of her head.

"What's the matter with nothing?" He was slightly curious.

"That is, there is neither good luck nor bad luck within one or two hours, but the good luck mirror can only see mortals, and immortals and demons cannot see fortune."

Yuan Zhong played with the mirror of good luck for a long time, and suddenly saw several cranes falling down from mid-air, riding on the backs of the cranes were some immortals with a strong sense of demeanor, looking at them through the mirror of good luck, the whole body actually emitted bright golden light, huge The word "immortal" printed on their foreheads is very ridiculous.

He can actually recognize immortals and demons!Yuan Zhong looked at himself in the bronze mirror, and sure enough, he also had the word "immortal" on his forehead, looking extremely stupid.

He originally wanted to suggest that Tan Yin change this stupid word, but she leaned over with bright eyes and asked, "His Royal Highness, do you think the good luck mirror can be sold for a good price?"

As soon as he met her expectant eyeballs, he couldn't do anything, so he could only talk nonsense: "100 taels a piece."

Tan Yin shouldered the burden of raising the great monks. Hearing that the lucky mirror was so valuable, she ran out to sell the mirror without even taking a sip of water.

...Could it be that she is thinking about the beautiful woman he mentioned yesterday?This kid is genuine.

Yuan Zhong felt a little guilty, pushed open the window and fell lightly, just in front of Tan Yin who had just left the inn door.

"Xiao Ji..." He cleared his throat, and said in a rare gentle voice, "100 taels of silver, just sell it to me."

He was almost moved by his kindness and kindness. Is he really a good person as Ji Tanyin said?

Tan Yin looked at him suspiciously with dark eyes, and suddenly said: "Do you have money? I don't accept credit."

Hurry up, his good mood and the pretense of a good person were shattered to the ground, and he scolded with a mean face: "Hurry up and sell it! If you can't sell it all, you are not allowed to eat today!"

This vicious and mean face made the passers-by shake their heads, feeling sorry for the weak girl next to him.Sin, these days even immortals can force good people into prostitutes, people's hearts are not old, people's hearts are not old!
Yuan Zhong was full of anger, watching Tan Yin walk away slowly, suddenly she turned around and ran back, lingered in front of him for a while, and then whispered: "You...you will wait for me?"

Her head was slightly lowered, her long eyelashes fluttered, as if she was worried that he would trick her into sneaking away by herself again.Yuan Zhong was so angry that he suddenly didn't know where he went, and there was an incomparable pride in his heart, as well as an inexplicable soft cloud-like emotion.

No one had ever treated him like this, especially a woman. Her stalking and weakness really satisfied any man's dream, and he couldn't be dissatisfied.But he also clearly understood that Ji Tanyin must have a purpose for approaching him, although he didn't know what the purpose was, nor did he know her real identity.

His feelings towards her were complex, including disgust, curiosity, admiration, fear, and even a vague disappointment.

But at this moment, he really didn't want to see this expression on her face. Before he could react, he had already said, "...Let's go, I'll go with you."

Ji Tanyin is not the kind of enthusiastic and cheerful girl. Although she looks gentle and gentle, she is actually not close to being gentle and virtuous, let alone shrewd and capable.

Her way of selling things is also very primitive and clumsy. She held the lucky mirror and asked from shop to shop. At first, the bosses were very polite when they saw that it was Ms. Ji who made the counterfeit mirror. His face was all black.

She ran under the sun all morning, her face was flushed from the sun, and the tip of her nose was covered with sweat, but she didn't sell a single good luck mirror.

Yuan Zhong led the Bird of Paradise and followed her far away, watching her seriously introduce the magic function of this good luck mirror to the bosses, pointing fingers, foolishly.She actually believed his nonsense, and the lucky mirror cost 100 taels, and she might not be able to sell it in her next life.

It was almost noon, and the sun was so hot that the birds of paradise were wilting, hiding in the shadows and refusing to come out.Yuanzhong sighed, and was about to stop Ji Tanyin's stupid behavior, when he suddenly saw her walking towards him, her snow-white face was covered with sweat, but she was laughing—she laughed obviously more in the past two days up.

"Sell one." Her sweat dripped down her cheeks and down her neck, her white teeth were shining brightly, "It's ready to eat, do you want to eat?"

Yuan Zhong narrowed his eyes, and suddenly waved to her: "Come, come here."

Tan Yin walked over in astonishment, but he snatched the bag of good luck mirrors from her arms, and threw them into his own sleeve involuntarily.

"Sell me one for 100 taels." He smiled, "I won't bargain."

Tan Yin sighed: "This... I don't take credit..."

Before he finished speaking, he rushed to say: "It's not counted on credit, your money will always belong to me anyway, you should think about it for yourself."

Tan Yin stared at him, he still had a plain fake face, his brows were feigned to frown impatiently, and the corners of his mouth were curled up, like a gangster in the market, but there was a deep trace of deep emotion hidden in his Zhan Ran Ruo Shen's eyes. smile.Probably because he was not used to being stared at like this, he frowned unnaturally, and coughed twice.

"...Let's eat, I'm treating you." She left a word, turned around and left.

Yuan Zhong hurriedly led the Bird of Paradise to catch up, and asked repeatedly: "What do you eat? I don't eat flat food, I want to eat good food and wine."

"beef noodles."

"I don't eat beef."

"Then chicken noodles."

"I don't eat chicken."

"Mutton noodles."

"I don't eat mutton."

"...fox meat noodles."

"... Evil woman."

In the end, I don't know what kind of meat noodles the boss brought. Tan Yin had just taken a sip of the noodle soup when she heard a commotion in the street outside, followed by a row of gorgeous and extraordinary long cars whizzing by. The spirit beast pulling the cart was actually a unicorn.

The guests in the noodle shop praised: "What a style! This kind of style is only available to the master of Katori Mountain!"

Katori Mountain?Very familiar name.Tan Yin was deep in thought while eating noodles.

After a few mouthfuls, another long car pulled by water-avoiding beasts flew past outside, and the guests continued to admire: "This is the water-avoiding beast of the Dragon King's house in Baihe in the west! The sky is open and closed, and even the Dragon King wants to join in the fun?"

The sky opens and closes?Tan Yin couldn't help but stop eating noodles.

In just one meal, countless fairies and demons passed by one after another. Tan Yin has never seen so many immortals and demons gathered in one place. What exactly are they talking about when the sky opens and closes?Not even her.

"Eat your noodles." Yuan Zhong gently pushed her head.

Tan Yin was suddenly pushed by him, and the chopsticks fell to the ground. She didn't care to pick them up, and asked, "What is the opening and closing of the sky?"

Yuan Zhong ordered the waiter to bring a pair of clean chopsticks, and said: "It's a good omen. It is said that anyone who sees the skylight will have good luck, and wishes will come true. In Yandu of Chen Shangguo, all the ghosts of the immortal family came."

good omen?May all your wishes come true?How has she never heard of it?
However, it was no wonder that this eccentric monk would stay in Yandu, presumably because he also wanted to watch the sky open and close.

"Do you have any wish?" Tan Yin asked seriously, and she was ready for him to talk nonsense.

Yuan Zhong just smiled and said nothing.
