second to none

Chapter 6

Tan Yin didn't pay attention to what he was muttering at all, this novel and prosperous town had already attracted her attention.She jumped out of the car and looked left and right, only to feel that her eyes were full of beautiful things, but she didn't know where to start to look.

A peddler shaking a rattle came towards him, carrying a half-person-high wooden box on his back, with all kinds of colorful windmills and gadgets stuck on it, selling all the way, Tan Yin's eyes were attracted to him in an instant, Involuntarily, he walked forward, picked up the small carp he hung on the wooden box and made strings of beads, looked at it carefully, and was reluctant to let go.

"...Do you like it?" Yuan Zhong had a strange look on his face. This beaded carp is neither exquisite nor unique. It can be seen everywhere. How did it catch her attention?

Tan Yin was so absorbed in admiring the beaded gadgets that she didn't pay attention to what he said.During the period when she was alive, the mortal world was not so prosperous, let alone these interesting gadgets. Even though the Ji family had excellent craftsmanship, no one knew how to make these things.Seeing that a little fox made of red beads was alive and cute, she couldn't help rubbing it in her hand.

Seeing that she liked it, the peddler smiled and said, "These are all handmade gadgets. They don't cost much. Girls like them. Buy one and I'll give you another one."

Tan Yin was really moved, and suddenly his sleeve was pulled lightly. Yuan Zhong came over and looked at her expectantly: "Sister Xiao Ji, do you like foxes so much? I'll show you a change later, okay? I promise it's better than this one." A thousand times better..."

Before she finished speaking, she walked away, and her attention was attracted by the clay figurine on the other side.

Seeing her walking away, the peddler looked back at the big monk and nodded slightly.Yuan Zhong smiled, picked up the beaded fox that she had just rubbed in every possible way, and asked, "How much?"

The peddler smiled wryly, but did not speak. He took off the beaded fox and carp and handed them to him, along with a small windmill, and then left.

While blowing the windmill, Yuan Zhong crushed the beaded carp in his palm, and suddenly a secret word lingered in his ears: "I searched for a long time, but found nothing. The girl's life experience is very strange, continue to investigate."

He blew the windmill around, walked slowly to Tan Yin's side, patted her, and said with a smile, "Sister Xiao Ji, come and see you play."

Tan Yin obviously likes the windmill very much. She put the little fox with beads in her sleeve pocket after playing with it for a while, but she kept holding the windmill in her hand and looked at it. colorful.

Yuan Zhong supported his chin, lay down on the table bored, and sighed: "Is this so fun? It can be seen everywhere, only three-year-olds would like it."

Seeing that Tan Yin didn't speak, he quickly added with a smile: "I'm not saying that sister Xiao Ji is childish, you have a childlike innocence, I like it very much."

Tan Yin still didn't speak, since she really had nothing to say to him, she drank her tea sullenly.

Yuan Zhong seemed to want to tease her, and said winkingly: "Come on, let's finish this cup of tea first, and then Miss Ji, you rest in the guest room for half a day. I will go to the city to find a craftsman. My car has been working for a long time. It hasn't been repaired, and it hurts all over the body. After the car is repaired, let's go to Orange Lake. That's my family's place. It's quiet, and I'll show you again, okay?"

When Tan Yin heard that the car was being repaired, she immediately stood up with bright eyes: "The car is downstairs?"

Yuan Zhong watched her go downstairs in amazement, and wondered, "Sister Xiao Ji, where are you going?"

"Repair the car." Her answer was concise and clear.

Car repair?Did she fix the car or smash it? !Seeing that his beloved car was in danger of being destroyed, Yuan Zhong hurriedly followed.

His imposing and resplendent car was parked in the backyard of the inn, and the clerks took care of it respectfully, not daring to neglect in the slightest. Even the four birds of paradise pulling the car had been groomed, making them more white and handsome.

Tan Yin was bending over to check the axle of the car. She didn't know when there were many small black hammers in her hand, knocking here and there.Yuan Zhong's little heart was almost knocked out by her, and he quickly apologized: "Sister Xiao Ji, how dare you bother you with such rough work..."

Tan Yin straightened up, threw the small hammer into the Qiankun bag on her waist, and said, "There is a crack in the center axle, and it is crooked. You have to change the axle."

Yuan Zhong's jaw almost dropped, so she really knows how to repair cars?The way he looked at her gradually became complicated. This woman is full of various flaws. She has already made a lot of mistakes that should be made and should not be made. No matter who sent the undercover agent, it would be extremely stupid to choose her. mistake.He was a little tired of flirting with her, staring at the gold-painted skin on her waist, and pointed it out directly: "Is this the Qiankun bag?"

Tan Yin smiled slightly, and there was even a hint of complacency on his face, "You recognize it too?"

She died early, and although she expected that the four Qiankun bags she made would be flocked to by thousands of people, she never expected that after so many years, people would still recognize them.

Yuan Zhong rolled his eyes and said, "Of course I recognize it, this is a rare treasure."

The Qiankun bag was made by a certain craftsman in ancient times, and no one knows how many he made. He only knows that there is one hidden in the Qiongguo Palace, one is in the War Ghost Clan, and the other is said to have appeared in the Eastern Dayan Kingdom. The rumors are all false.Whose is this universe bag on her waist?
"Rare?" Tan Yin was puzzled. She always thought that after so many years, there must be capable people in the mortal world who can make many more universe bags.

Yuan Zhong shook his head and changed the subject: "Sister Xiao Ji, can you repair cars?"

She was a little embarrassed: "It's not very common, but ebony is not suitable for axles, even though it is expensive, because it is hard and brittle. It is better to change to a cypress axle, which is much more comfortable."

Yuan Zhong couldn't help being silent, and after a while he smiled and said, "Sister Xiao Ji knows so much, could it be that her family has a profound knowledge?"

Tan Yin shook her head silently: "...let's find a craftsman to change the axle."

Yuan Zhong was about to speak, when he heard a mournful roar from the far east mountain, his face remained unchanged, he turned his head to look, and saw a line of red mist slowly dissipating in the far east sky.

His expression remained the same, he turned around and said with a smile: "I don't know whether wood is good or bad, since sister Xiao Ji understands, why don't you go with me to the mountain to see what kind of wood is good?"

For Tan Yin, there is usually only one purpose in going to the mountains: to pick wood.

At that time, she was young, but she was young and mature. Unlike other children in the family, she knew how to laugh and play when going up the mountain. She always followed her father and listened to him talk about the uses of various woods.Later, when the old father was seriously ill and dying, he couldn't worry about her, so he just said: Tan Yin, you haven't played as recklessly as other children since you were a child, and dad is leaving soon, so I don't worry about you at all, it's just you Such a young and old man, withdrawn and seldom talk, how will he find a good husband in the future?

She really didn't take a good look at the scenery in the mountains. At that time, her mind was full of making things, and she had nothing else to do.

Now she is riding on the back of the Bird of Paradise, it flies very slowly, sticking to the top of the tree, several times the leaves have brushed against the corner of the skirt, the green hills in the distance, the sky is high and the clouds are light, this is a scene that can only be seen in the mortal world.Yuan Zhong also rode a bird of paradise, following beside her, chattering all the time, not knowing what to say, his nonsense is always so much.

Tan Yin stopped at the top of a tree, bent down to pick up a leaf for a closer look, and the big monk came over, eager to stick to her, and asked, "What kind of tree is this?"

"Cypress tree."

Yuan Zhong stretched his waist, and said with a smile: "Just cut down this tree and use it as an axle..."

Before he could finish speaking, there was a loud "whoosh" sound, and the bird of paradise he was riding uttered a shrill cry. One of its wings was severed, blood splashed everywhere, and it fell down almost instantly.

Tan Yin was taken aback, and was about to lower her head to look at Yuan Zhong's situation, when a strange whistle sounded under the tree suddenly, and the bird of paradise she was riding was seduced by the whistle, looked around, looked uneasy, and suddenly opened Spreading its wings and flying around, Tan Yin was almost overturned. She hugged its neck in a hurry, trying to comfort the panicked spirit bird.

"Whoosh", there was another sharp sound, but this time it didn't hit the bird. Tan Yin felt her knees were cold for a while, followed by severe pain. She looked down, and her knees were scratched by some sharp weapon There was a deep and long gash from which blood had not yet had time to flow out.She was even more astonished in her heart, but she couldn't see a single person when she looked around.

Not allowing her to react, the sharp sound reappeared, Tan Yin's back seemed to be stabbed hard by a knife, the pain made her tremble all over, her hands could no longer hold the bird of paradise's neck, her body tilted, from Falling straight up in the air.

Yuan Zhong turned over and jumped down the moment the Bird of Paradise's wings were amputated, and landed lightly, when he suddenly saw a figure on the top of the tree opposite him, he thought about it, but didn't chase after him.Looking up, I saw the bird that Tan Yin was riding was flying around and flying away.He deliberately yelled: "Sister Xiaoji! Don't be afraid! I'm coming!"

After saying that, she started to chase, but there was no way to catch up, and she flew away in a short while.Yuan Zhong stopped suddenly, and the mountain breeze passed by, bringing a burst of elegant fragrance.His face was as sinking as water, and he followed the scent slowly towards the east, and suddenly he saw an extremely deep and wide pit on the ground opposite, as if it had been hollowed out by a giant.

Yuan Zhong walked over slowly, looked down, and saw a bloody red fox lying on the bottom of the pit, which had been dead for a long time.Beside the corpse was a broken half-person-high wooden box, and many beaded trinkets were scattered all over the floor.There is a family of foxes who are good at making spices. Blood contains fragrance. The more blood there is, the stronger the fragrance will be. However, the fragrance will gradually fade away due to the mountain wind.

He let out a long sigh, clasped his hands together, and bowed silently to the red fox's corpse. The red fox's corpse gradually became transparent, and finally turned into many shining spots of light, which surrounded him reluctantly. dissipate.

This is the last message left by the tribe.Yuan Zhong spread out his palm, and there was a line of small fluorescent characters on it: Encountered the remnants of the war ghost, visually inspected six people, and urgently reported to the Orange Lake family to take precautions.

Yuan Zhong had no expression on his face, and gently wiped the line of words with his fingers, he turned around slowly, sighed again, and said: "The war ghosts have also learned to peep secretly now, and attacked them in groups? "

After a while, several people slowly walked out of the woods, all dressed in black, with stern faces, and the pupils of each person's face were blood red, looking at him fiercely.

One, two, three, four... Yuan Zhong counted, five war ghosts, no wonder the clansman who sent the message died so quickly and so badly.

The leader of the war ghost said coldly: "You hurt my lord Li Chaoyang first, and today I will slaughter all the foxes in Orange Lake to avenge my lord Li Chaoyang."

Yuan Zhong laughed dumbly, stroked his right arm and shook his head, "So it's because of Li Chaoyang, and I have a debt to settle with her. I was the one who sealed her in the ice, and my right hand is also It was cut off by her, and it was easy to pick it up, and it is still not easy."

The faces of the war ghosts suddenly changed. They had heard that there was a great monk of the fox clan, but they never thought that the inconspicuous person in front of them was actually him.A war ghost at the side couldn't bear it anymore, he pulled out a long whip from his waist, and threw it at his head.

Yuan Zhong took a step back, and a big hole was smashed out at his feet. He shook his hand: "Come on, come on, I'm very lazy, you don't have all of them, I'll kill them together when we're all there."

The leader of the war ghost sneered: "You can hurt Lord Li Chaoyang, and we dare not neglect in our hearts. Today, I will let you go to hell with your beloved."

Heart, beloved?Yuan Zhong was stunned, and saw two more people coming out from the forest, one in black clothes and red eyes, he was the sixth war ghost, and the... girl covered in blood in his hand was Tan Yin.
