second to none

Chapter 3

That was a long time ago, so long that she couldn't remember many details.

I just remember to study the family's Linglong House stunt every day, every day and night, forgetting to eat and sleep.The family she was born in was sparsely populated, and there were not many girls. Her mother died early due to illness. When she was almost 15 years old, she and her old father were the only ones left in the family.

The Ji family's unique skills are well-known, so there is no shortage of food and clothing, but it is an indisputable fact that the family has withered.Before he died, the old man said: "Tan Yin, find a good family to marry. This craft is against the sky. Don't use it again in the future, let alone pass it on to your children. Our Ji family is in such a situation. .”

She listened, but didn't take it into her heart. As the daughter of the Ji family, it has become her instinct to delve into family skills. She is so devoted and fanatical, she has never considered marriage or love.

Her craftsmanship is even more exquisite than that of her father, and the exquisite house she made can fit in a sleeve, and can occupy an area of ​​ten thousand hectares.

In the world, only those who become immortals can open up caves, and to become immortals, they need to experience the catastrophe of thunder. The Ji family is just a group of ordinary people. No less than against the sky.

Like everyone in her family, she was terminally ill and there was no cure for it.

The old father's last words were still in her ears, but she couldn't stop. At that time, she was making another magical tool, which was different from the Linglong House. She wanted to make something that had never been seen in the world, and everything in the world could be collected included.

At the age of 17, she finally made four unique Qiankun bags in the world, and then she vomited blood and passed away quietly.

Tan Yin opened her eyes, the sun was shining brightly outside the window, the flowers were red and the willows were green, and the scenery was unfamiliar.

She was dazed for a while before she remembered that this was the residence of the great monk.The other people are strange, and the place where they live is also strange. It is called the Hexagonal Hall.The houses of the Fox family are very uniquely built, but half of the hexagonal hall is buried in the soil. The building is divided into three floors, and the sunlight can barely be seen on the second floor. Fortunately, the bedrooms are all on the third floor.

There are no pines and cypresses in the courtyard in front of the Hexagonal Hall. Instead, there are a large number of fairy flowers blooming, the color is like white snow, the whole flower is as big as a palm, and the stamens are all white. I don't know what kind it is.There is a small lake in the south of the hall, with colorful flowers, red willows and green on the shore, which is in sharp contrast with the whiteness in front of the hall.

Tan Yin didn't care to watch the unfamiliar scenery. Last night, she seemed to be dreaming.

She couldn't remember how long she hadn't had a dream, but now that she suddenly came back to life, this body actually made her dream.

What a familiar and strange feeling.

She closed her eyes, opened them again for a moment, and suddenly saw that the window was unceremoniously opened from the outside, and His Royal Highness the big monk in soap clothes stood outside excitedly and waved to her.

Tan Yin walked over without knowing why, Yuan Zhong propped his chin and looked at her with interest, he didn't know if he didn't look at her, he was startled, the little maid he brought back did not lie down while sleeping, but sat cross-legged on the bed, it seemed very powerful Very mysterious.

"Are you sitting up and sleeping?"

Tan Yin scratched her hair, thought for a while as if in a dilemma, and then stammered, replied: "This... because, because I envy immortals, I learned to do some cultivation by myself..."

Is it stupid that he can't even tell a lie, or is he pretending to be simple and honest?

Yuan Zhong smiled maliciously: "I've never heard of any fairy who sleeps sitting up. Are your legs numb? Come, I'll carry you out."

He waited for Tan Yin's shy or stern rejection. The great monk of the fox family has always been a frivolous person. Molesting beautiful sisters is his specialty, and his perseverance after encountering various rejections is also his specialty. The former monk Xin Mao had nothing to do with him.

Tan Yin waved her hands again and again, she leaned on the window neatly, and she jumped on it.Yuan Zhong watched dumbfounded as she took the initiative to reach out to hold his shoulders, his eyes rolled from her delicate face to her shoulders, then to her hair, and finally back to her hands—what a refreshing girl!I always feel like I'm going to lose in the first game, and I can't even use the sweet words I've been holding back.

"His Royal Highness." Tan Yin's calm voice was a little uncomfortable in his ears at the moment, "What do I need to do?"

In fact, he didn't know either.As a great monk, his whereabouts have always been uncertain. Due to the constant disputes with the War Ghost Clan in recent years, the elders often give him some disgraceful tasks.Two years old, he has never had a maid by his side, he doesn't need it himself, and the elders won't ask for it for him.

Only this time is special.

Yuan Zhong held his chin and thought for a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up, he looked at her with a smile, and said softly: "Shall we play chess?"

Tan Yin started to be in trouble again: "I, I won't..."

Yuan Zhong still smiled: "For poetry?"

"……I do not know either."

"Come on, let's play the zither and the harp?"

"I still... won't."

Yuan Zhong sighed: "What do you know?"

As soon as Tan Yin mentioned what he was good at, Tan Yin's face was about to shine: "I know a lot of craftsmanship! If something breaks on your side, I will definitely repair it even better than before! By the way, the car outside—— She pointed to a long and resplendent car parked at the back of the yard, "I can help you see if there are any parts that need to be replaced or repaired."

That is a special car for great monks, she actually proposed to get her hands on it so boldly and straightforwardly, Yuan Zhong laughed again, no matter whether she is really stupid or pretending to be so, she is indeed a talent.

"I don't need your help to fix the car." He also refused bluntly.

Tan Yin lowered her head almost in distress. She never thought that being a maid should be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. After thinking for a long time, she whispered: "I am willing to learn, playing chess or something, I will definitely study hard. "

Yuan Zhong snorted, then pinched her beautifully shaped chin frivolously, leaned over and said frivolously: "It's so hot, why don't you serve me to take a bath?"

He waited to see how she lost her composure, but who would have thought that the wooden-headed little maid was stunned for a moment, not the kind of shy and angry daze he thought, but the kind who was very considerate and considerate of him: "Is this okay? I saw the noble skin of His Highness the Great Monk? If you don't mind, I will."

"..."

Most of the Youhu clan live in this Fangwai Mountain, not far from Yuan City.

It is said that a long, long time ago, the Youhu clan was still in its heyday, and no mortals were selected to work as handymen. At that time, the boundary between humans and immortals was still very clear.Later, all the gods disappeared, and these tribes that used to serve the gods gradually withered, with fewer and fewer people, and because the mortals at the foot of the mountain admired the immortals, they gradually began to select mortals to enter the fairyland cave in Fangwai Mountain to do some rough work, until now , It has become a business that needs to be selected every few years.

Perhaps for these immortals with long lives, the fresh faces that change every few years are also a way to relieve loneliness.All things are afraid of loneliness, such as human beings, and so are immortals.

There are big and small caves in the fairy house, the big one is Xiangtuo Mountain, the owner of the mountain is very generous, occupying more than a dozen mountain tops, raising hundreds of beautiful young men and women as disciples, and the mountain is always like spring all the year round.The small one is like Meishan Residence, only a small hill with an exquisite courtyard, Meishan Lord does not accept disciples, only spirit ghosts as companions.

Although the Fangwai Mountain with the fox family is not as bold and unrestrained as the Xiangtori Mountain, it has a unique and beautiful scenery. It is mostly decorated with wooden bridges, flowing water, artificial hills and fairy flowers, and the people of the tribe belong to nature and follow the solar terms throughout the year. hot.

Tan Yin walked under the sun for a while, and her back was so hot that her back was wet again.

Just now the great monk changed his mind and said that he wanted to go out for a walk, so they walked all the way south from the hexagonal hall full of fairy flowers, passed a small lake, and passed through a quiet and cool bamboo forest. He didn't say a word along the way, and his back seemed to be discouraged The ball, the whole person is deflated.

Is he unhappy?Tan Yin was a little hesitant. She was not good at getting along with people, and sometimes she might offend people with a single word unintentionally. She didn't want to have any quarrel with this great monk, she just wanted to live in peace and quiet.

After thinking for a long time, she finally tried to speak: "His Royal Highness, are you in a bad mood? Don't hold anything in your heart..."

"Shut up for now and keep quiet, I'll feel better." Yuan Zhong turned his head and smiled sweetly at her.

Tan Yin immediately closed her mouth tightly, did not say a word, and began to enjoy the scenery.

After crossing the wooden bridge and passing through a rockery, you can only hear the gurgling sound of the water, and the scenery in front of you is very different. A small green peak runs across the north and south, and several exquisite waterfalls pour down along the moss-covered boulders, like flying pearls splashing jade, Finally, it was put into the pond below. A pine pavilion was built on the pond, and there was a nine-curved exquisite bridge connecting the pine pavilion and the shore.

Even though the scenery is exquisite, there are a group of girls densely crowded on the shore and on the bridge at the moment, no matter how good the scenery is, it seems very inconsistent.

Yuan Zhong's eyes lit up when he saw the girls, his deflated ball immediately swelled up, and he floated over without touching his feet.Those girls are all maids, some know the great monk and some don't, but whether they recognize it or not, facing a thick-skinned man like the great monk, it is really impossible to hate it, but it is absolutely impossible to like it, everyone said Chatting and laughing with him, but staring at the elegant and noble young man in purple in the pavilion.

Tan Yin stood far away in the shadow of the tree, watching the big monk turn his head to joke with this one for a while, and tease the other for a while. He was the most lively in the audience, like a big monkey.

Is he feeling better again?It's getting better so fast, what a moody weirdo.

Tan Yin's gaze followed the great monk's hair all the way down, and finally settled on the black silk glove on his left hand, staring intently.The naughty and laughing man in soap clothes in front of her seemed to have become another person. Sometimes the blue shirt was untidy, and sometimes the silver armor was shining. At that time, she was always alone in the dark, looking at the back of the man in high spirits. , Watching the excitement between him and others.

She also wanted to blend into the lively colors, but in the end, she was always alone.

Tan Yin sighed inaudibly.

Seeing her face-to-face, a few maidservants came over to talk to her and asked her, "Sister, are you also here to see Master Tang Hua?"

Tang Hua?Tan Yin thought for a while before she remembered that she seemed to have heard the name yesterday. Is it the fairy in purple?She looked towards the pine pavilion, and sure enough, Tanghua was drinking by herself inside, enjoying herself.

Tan Yin shook her head: "I was going out to relax with His Highness the Great Monk, and I happened to pass by here."

"His Royal Highness the Great Monk?" The little maids immediately showed expressions of admiration and pity to her. What a poor sister, she looks so good-looking and looks very gentle, why did she become his maid?It's really a flower stuck in that or something.

Yuan Zhong and the maids were chatting and laughing outside the pavilion, laughing and laughing endlessly, Tang Hua, who was planning to take a break from his busy schedule to find a place with no one to relieve his hangover, finally put down his glass due to the noise.

How could he be so unlucky that he happened to meet the great monk returning to Fangwaishan?When Po Lai comes back, he won't be able to live a life with a pure heart.

"Wan Qiu, Lan Xuan, let's change places." Tang Hua sighed, and decided to run away.

As soon as the three of them came out of the pine tree pavilion, they saw Yuan Zhong's eyes gleam up, Tang Hua felt his scalp was hardened, and he simply hugged his arms to make way for him, and sure enough, the next moment he threw himself in front of Wan Qiu, clinging to her , the voice is so gentle that water can drip out.

"Sister Wanqiu, do you secretly miss me?"

The maid named Wan Qiu didn't get angry, and saluted him with a smile: "Your Highness, Monk, did you wear another mask? I almost didn't recognize you yesterday."

mask?Tan Yin glanced at his face subconsciously. It turned out that he was wearing a mask?Is there really such a lifelike mask in the world?She hadn't noticed it before.

Yuan Zhong was so happy that he wanted to wag his tail, even Tan Yin felt that the words "obscene" and "pervert" seemed to be engraved on his face.He rubbed his face, his eyes burst into laughter: "If sister Wanqiu wants to see it, I'll take off the mask and let you see enough."

Tang Hua snorted disdainfully, here he comes again!When the little girl Wanqiu was just sent here, Yuan Zhong used this kind of rhetoric to tease her, and after three or four years, he still came back to it.

Sure enough, Wan Qiu was not fooled, and said with a smile: "Your fake face is still a layer of fake face? You have so much shame on your face all day long, it's really thick."

Yuan Zhong didn't seem to hear that she was swearing, he touched his skin, then pulled it again, and sighed: "Hey, it seems to be quite thick."

Tang Hua couldn't stand it anymore, frowned and said, "You're messing around here when you have time, why don't you go to Elder Ding Xu, you should go and register after you got the maid yesterday!"

Yuan Zhong smiled lazily and said, "It's so annoying, it's so far away, so I won't go."

Tang Hua was annoyed and stunned. He was really involved in the matter of Ji Tanyin's origin. Elder Ding Xu had been waiting for him to explain the situation, but at this time he was still acting like a rascal. Tang Hua frowned even tighter. : "Elder Ding Xu asked me to bring a message in the morning, and don't skin your fox alive!"

When Yuan Zhong heard this, he was too lazy to lose his bones, and wished he could collapse on the ground: "You remember that when you peeled the skin, you must ask sister Wan Qiu to do it yourself."

Tang Hua was so angry that his face was livid, he grabbed his collar and threw him into the pond, and then walked away in a flick of his sleeves.
