The so-called unexpected calamity is basically what I look like now.
After being thrown into a pond that was gradually cooling down, not only did I get frozen for four hours, but when I wanted to go ashore and change back into my human form, I actually discovered that the clothes and accessories I was wearing were all gone. Luckily, I had kept two sets of clothes in my storage bracelet, otherwise, I would have really been in deep sorrow, I could only fold the grass into clothes, pluck the flowers into skirts — this kind of clothes, although they could be used, they were not as delicate and comfortable as buying clothes in the mortal world.
Speaking of which, that Yan Jing fellow was too stingy. He had only spat out two bubbles at him. Was there a need to be so angry? Not only did he walk away, he even used some magic to trap me in the pond, making me look like I owed him a hundred candied fruits, but I only gave him ten of them — truly unreasonable.
When he returned to the temporary residence, the sky had already begun to glow slightly.
In the sparring room, the little fox was in a friendly dream, but the way she slept was very strange. Her own quilt had been crumpled into a ball on her chest, and my quilt was covered over her, leaving me speechless.
I scratched my head. I didn't seem to have covered her with a quilt before I left …
However, this was just a small matter. In an instant, I tossed it to the back of my mind. Since he had no intention of waking her up, he picked an empty spot on the bed to meditate.
Not long after, the sky started to brighten.
The Lady Boss sent the maidservants to call us over for dinner. Although it was just plain porridge and pickled vegetables, they were all made personally. It was better than the fresh ingredients, so the taste wasn't that bad either. At the dinner table, although the Lady Boss didn't say much, her eyes and eyebrows were bright. The radiance on her face was not concealed in the slightest, and with the coming of a happy occasion, her tone of voice towards the two of us became even more polite.
"After the meal, the two of you don't need to wash the dishes. Let's continue sweeping the courtyard."
When Hu Meng heard this, she raised her head and asked in a daze, "What happened after you finished reading it?"
The Lady Boss smiled. "Since I've finished sweeping it, I might as well go out and take a look." "For the past few days, there has been a bustling market at the east side of the town. The two of you are not natives, so there are quite a few rare things and snacks that you don't normally see …"
When I heard that, my eyes lit up. Hu Meng was also very interested and nodded her head repeatedly.
Right at this moment, Young Master Liu, who was carried by Hu Liushan, walked in. He was elegantly dressed in a jade belt, and since the three of us had agreed to pretend that we didn't know each other last night, his gaze was only on the Lady Boss. The Lady Boss was the same, the two of them … Cough cough. No, it was the gaze of a man and a fox. It could be said to be as gentle as water and as full of love.
"Right, who are these two ladies?"
The two lovers looked at each other for a while, and then the fake Young Master turned around to ask where the two of us came from. The Lady Boss explained with a smile, and then added, "Liu Lang, these two girls must have been short of money for a while. I plan to let them clean the courtyard for three days as a repayment, what do you think?"
The fake Liu Gongzi didn't even look at us, he only smiled and said: "Your arrangements are the best." Pausing for a moment, he continued, "In a few days time we will be married. It's fine to have a few more people to help."
The Lady Boss obviously obeyed him. She smiled and came over to ask if we were willing to stay for a few more days. After she marries, she will leave. Hu Meng and I naturally agreed.
For me and Hu Meng, sweeping the courtyard wasn't a difficult task.
Of course, what enticed us even more was the market that Lady Boss said was on the east side of the town.
After packing up, I swaggered out of the house with Hu Meng.
With the help of Liu San, the two of us finally had some money on us, so we bought two skewers of candied fruits and ate them while we walked.
I thought that Hu Meng's favorite food would be roast chicken, roast chicken and the like, but who would have thought that she would end up staring at a pastry stall?
On one side was a steaming hot basket, while on the other side was a drawer full of steamed pastries. There were white rabbits, little tigers, little sheep, and many other types of pastries. Not only were they all of different colors, but they were all so lifelike that one couldn't bear to let them go at first glance.
I bought a few of them for Hu Meng, but she just held them in her hands and didn't eat them. She just couldn't bear to let go of me, so I asked her why.
Originally, this market should have been very successful in travelling for half a day. However, just as the sun was setting in the west, something went wrong.
At first, it was just a faintly discernible ringing sound, which only rang after a long interval. But gradually, the sound became somewhat mournful, as if someone was scratching the surface of the ice with a sharp claw. It was truly unheard-of.
As I looked at Hu Meng, I noticed that there was no special reaction from the people around me, so I immediately frowned.
After a moment, a middle-aged Daoist Priest appeared at the end of the street. He wore a long grey robe, his face was weathered with wind and frost, his hair was messy, and his crown was slanted to the side, his figure extremely sturdy. He held a horsetail whisk in one hand, and a bronze bell in the other.
This Taoist didn't do much. In the blink of an eye, he was right in front of me and Hu Meng. As he raised his eyes, an indescribable glow seemed to flash past them. His gaze was as sharp as a blade, and there was a smile on his face as he said, "Both of you, please."
I dragged the curious Hu Meng behind me and said with a smile, "Greetings, Taoist."
That Taoist smirked and said, "What business do you two have here?"
"Just passing by."
"Oh?"
The Daoist Priest smirked and handed the bronze bell over to the boy. He was about to say something when I interrupted him, "Daoist, this bell is really noisy. Why isn't it stopping? "There's nothing to stop us from talking."
A strange smile appeared on the Daoist Priest's face. "What you say makes sense." With a wave of his hand, the copper bell disappeared, "Where are you two from, and where are you going?"
I forcefully held Hu Meng's hand and took out the Karakorum medallion from my waist. I smiled and said, "I have come under the orders of my teacher to go down the mountain to train."
The Daoist Priest replied with an "Oh." His tone dragged on for a long time before he said in a serious tone, "So you are a disciple of the Karakorum, are you passing by or do you often live here?"
"So what if we're passing by? So what if you live here often? "
"Nothing. I only ask, will the two of you leave before sunset tonight?"
I secretly rolled my eyes in my heart. The content of this person's question was getting more and more out of whack. However, he still smiled and said, "Fellow, what do you mean by that?"
The Daoist Priest laughed coldly and said, "You don't have to say it directly. This old Daoist came here to collect a thousand-year-old Fey, and he has no intention of killing more. If the two of you want to live in peace, then it's better for you to leave quickly."
I felt my eyelids twitch. These words sounded too familiar, wasn't it just the opening scene in the novel where the Lovers were separated?
I thought for a moment and was about to reply when Hu Meng stuck her head out from behind. She blinked and asked, "What if we don't leave?"
The Daoist Priest's face suddenly darkened as his eyes widened. He formed a spell sign with his hand and sternly said, "Then, this old Daoist will have no choice but to carry out justice on behalf of the heavens!"
I didn't have enough time to think, so I grabbed Hu Meng with one hand and leaped out of the town. The old Taoist's hand gesture turned out to be the Nine Heavens Thunder Technique that the Penglai Immortal didn't impart to outsiders, especially used against small monsters like us who have cultivated. Although I don't know how strong they are, but if they become real, I'm sure they won't be far from becoming roasted fish or roasted fox.
We ran faster, and the Taoist was even faster. We had only gone a dozen miles when he blocked us.
In the air, a shining azure sword could be seen beneath his feet. His robe was covered in flashing runes, and the boy was sitting on the tip of the sword, shaking the bronze bell in his hands. The deafening sound was so loud that it seemed as if it could shatter the soul.
I suppressed the discomfort in my heart and asked with raised brows, "Fellow, why are you so overbearing?"
"Beheading demons and exterminating demons, protecting the righteous path on earth, these are the duties of my celestial family."
"This old man actually thinks that I, the Little Fishdemon, don't know anything." The guards are upright? " I sneered. "Do you know how many innocent people would be harmed if you let out that lightning just now?"
Hearing this question, the Daoist Priest's face showed no shame, "For the sake of righteousness, what can a mere sacrifice do?"
When I heard this, I laughed instead of getting angry. "This is called taking human life as grass; the Heavenly Dao has its own record. When I return to Penglai next day, how will you explain yourself? "
Hu Meng was eager to see the world in a state of chaos, so she nodded her head in agreement.
"Tai! You demon, don't speak nonsense! "
The Daoist priest was finally a little angry. His two hands formed a spell sign and chanted an incantation as he bellowed. The azure light sword beneath his feet suddenly dispersed, turning into ten, ten, a hundred pieces. They swirled in the air, interweaving into a sword net that suddenly shot down towards us.
I focused my gaze and was about to cast a spell to defend myself when I heard a crisp voice say, "Rise!"
A red light instantly soared into the sky like an extremely gorgeous fiery color. It was also like the sunset that had yet to set down, easily breaking the sword formation.
I looked over and found Hu Meng holding a huge fan in her hand. It was about half the height of her body, the bone was black and purple, I didn't know what material it was made of, but the fan was made up of feathers, and they were all fiery red in color.
"What a great fan!"
"Thank you elder sister, it was master who gave it to you." The little fox said with a proud tone.
I nodded. Just from this fan alone, one could tell that Hu Meng's master really didn't have anything to say to her. Her first move was to use a flashy and useful weapon, and even specially added a spell – who knew what kind of poor bird would be pulled out by such a large tail feather?
"Elder sister, this person is so unreasonable!" Hu Meng was fanning herself with one hand and the other hand was resting on her fan bone. She was frowning.
I nodded. "Not only is he unreasonable, he even commits murder at will."
"What should I do to deal with such a person?"
"Just slap him out of the sky."
"How can that be enough? "We need to fiercely slap him three times. It's best if we slap him into the wasteland …"
While we were talking, the Daoist priest's face turned even more green. With a slight shout, the boy sitting in front of the sword pointed at us. He suddenly threw out the bronze bell, then closed his eyes and clasped his hands together.
I knew this bell was extraordinary, but I didn't think it would be so dangerous. I pulled Hu Meng along and retreated quickly, but I was still unable to escape its embrace.
A moment later, an extremely complacent laughter could be heard from outside, "Wait till this old Daoist collects those thousand-year old demon spirits, then we can collect you two little demons to refine our pills!"
After being thrown into a pond that was gradually cooling down, not only did I get frozen for four hours, but when I wanted to go ashore and change back into my human form, I actually discovered that the clothes and accessories I was wearing were all gone. Luckily, I had kept two sets of clothes in my storage bracelet, otherwise, I would have really been in deep sorrow, I could only fold the grass into clothes, pluck the flowers into skirts — this kind of clothes, although they could be used, they were not as delicate and comfortable as buying clothes in the mortal world.
