Chapter 10 Chapter 10 The envoy has no wife, Luofu has no husband, so good...
They missed the inn that night and stayed in the suburbs.
Abai built a fire and roasted the two chickens he had bought during the day on skewered branches. Yao Ning sat by the fire and dozed off with his eyes closed.
It was a cold and quiet spring night, with the Milky Way in the sky. There was only a bonfire here in the wilderness, and in the silence only the occasional crackling of flames could be heard.
Yao Ning was tired and let his consciousness become dull, leaving only a wisp of awareness to be alert to his surroundings.
When he was about to fall into the dream, three large characters suddenly appeared in his sea of consciousness, like silver hooks and iron paintings, facing him with terrifying power.
Where
Yao Ning was half asleep and not on guard. He was startled by the sudden appearance of these three words. He opened his eyes suddenly and saw Ah Bai's grilling action paused through the firelight. "What's wrong?"
Yao Ning slowed down his breathing, looked inside with his consciousness, and saw that the font gradually disappeared.
She said, "Nothing."
Ah Bai didn't ask any more questions, only saying, "Will you continue to take the official road to Zhongzezhou tomorrow morning?"
Yao Ning answered nonchalantly, "Yes, Zhong is in the center of the Nine Continents. I want..."
Before he could finish his words, two more words emerged in his sea of consciousness. They were infused with spiritual energy and pulled at his soul. They were completely out of Yao Ning's control and appeared in his mind in a domineering and overbearing manner.
【say】
Even with his eyes closed, Yao Ning knew whose voice it was. A feeling mixed with anger, grievance, sadness and indifference rose from his chest.
She grabbed a handful of broken jade from her Qiankun bag, and the jade pendant fragments, which were infused with the hard work of both of them, glowed in the firelight.
The jade pendant was broken, and the tracing mirror could not be opened. Chen Qian could not see her, hear her, or recall what she had done. However, this person relied on the fragments and the little spiritual connection to arbitrarily use spiritual power to carve words in his sea of consciousness.
Without the jade pendant, no matter how high Chen Qian's cultivation is, it is like writing on quicksand, which will be washed away by the wind.
It's rare that he's willing to take the trouble for Yao Ning. If you don't know him, you might think he cares about her very much.
Yao Ning sneered, holding the broken jade, white light flowed between his fingers, and when he opened his hand again, it was empty.
Two words appeared in the sea of consciousness: [I come]
Before Chen Qian could finish conveying what I was saying, the jade pendant disappeared, and Yao Ning's sea of consciousness finally returned to tranquility.
Abai seemed not to notice anything and handed the roasted food to Yao Ning.
Yao Ning took a bite absentmindedly.
The whole person froze.
She asked Abai seriously: "Have you learned cooking?"
"The boss asked the chef to teach me, but I didn't really listen." Abai said casually, seeing Yao Ning's dull expression, "Is it unpalatable?"
Yao Ning nodded: "It tastes terrible."
Abai took a bite and said, "I think it's pretty good."
The meat had no salt, the skin was burnt, the meat was tough, and it had a fishy smell. It was hard to describe it as "good". However, seeing how naturally Abai ate, Yao Ning couldn't help but wonder if he was too spoiled.
So I endured the discomfort and took another bite.
He chewed it a few times and swallowed it painfully.
Ah Bai had already finished a chicken in three or two bites. Seeing Yao Ning's wrinkled face, a smile appeared in his eyes: "She really is a young lady."
The nearby bushes swayed gently in the wind, and a moth flew into the firelight.
Yao Ning inexplicably felt that Abai's eyes were as if he was looking at something funny, a naughty cat, a clumsy dog, in short, not an employer who should have a higher status than him.
Yao Ning was slightly startled. Ah Bai had already taken the roast chicken from his hand. He finished it in a few bites and said, "I'll roast another one for you."
I added, "I'll think about what my master taught me and try to make it more delicious for you."
The night wind blew on her face, bringing a little chill, which was dispelled by the blazing flames. Yao Ning felt a little dizzy, as if she was sleepy. She nodded inadvertently, and when she raised her head again, Abai handed her the roast chicken.
Yao Ning only felt upset, and the emotions caused by Chen Qian surged again like a rising tide. She took a bite absentmindedly, and then became a little stiff.
The roast chicken was bland, woody, and fishy, not tasty at all. She asked Abai, "Have you ever studied cooking?"
"The boss taught me, but I didn't really listen. Is it unpalatable?"
“It tastes terrible.”
"I think it's pretty good."
She took another bite and it was unpalatable. The grievances boiling in her heart seemed to have found an outlet with this excuse. Her face wrinkled up, and she couldn't tell whether it was because the roast chicken was unpalatable or because she felt uncomfortable. Tears appeared in her eyes.
Ah Bai looked at her for a long moment, his eyes trembling slightly, and suddenly turned his head away as if to avoid her. After a moment, a smile appeared in his eyes: "You really are the eldest lady, aren't you?"
Yao Ning paused and was stunned.
A sense of déjà vu and strange familiarity came over me.
Have they already said those words once?
The scene before her seemed to have happened once before somewhere. A strong sense of déjà vu came over her. Her sea of consciousness was unstable, like the cracked surface of a volcano faintly suppressing something, or like a beast smelling an unknown danger.
The wind blew through the trees, the leaves shook with a sound, and a moth flew into the flames.
Abai looked at her as if nothing had happened, and inadvertently put her in a lower position, as if he was admiring kittens and puppies.
"I'll roast another one for you."
"I'll think about what my master taught me and try to make it more delicious for you."
Yao Ning stared at Abai, tightening his spiritual sense, ready to strike as soon as this man made any unusual movement.
She thought that Abai should not be an ordinary person, but everyone has secrets, and she had no intention of exploring them. But if this person was targeting her, Yao Ning would naturally not sit idly by and wait for death.
Seeing her alert expression, Abai slowed down his movements and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yao Ning stared at him for a few moments and suddenly felt something was wrong.
No, not Abai.
She suddenly turned her head and looked. The wilderness was silent, the night wind was whispering, the carriage was shining with golden light, and the door curtains were swaying in the wind.
Yao Ning stood up and flew towards the carriage, grabbing the package that was casually placed on the carriage.
Half the money was gone.
Ah Bai came over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Suddenly his eyes changed, and he suddenly realized something: "All this..."
Before she could finish, Yao Ning's consciousness became dizzy again, and his head nodded uncontrollably. When he looked up again, the bonfire was burning. He and Abai were sitting by the fire, and Abai handed her the roasted chicken.
Yao Ning stood up suddenly with a tense face. A Bai asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"
After saying this, he suddenly lowered his head and shook it vigorously in annoyance.
Yao Ning released his spiritual sense, and a thin girl a hundred miles away seemed to sense something and turned around. Her peach blossom eyes were full of pleasure, and a gloomy smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
He said crisply, "You owe me."
Adu.
Yao Ning's eyes were cold, and her spiritual power spread out like ripples around her. The bonfire was instantly extinguished, the trees were bent, and the roasted chicken in Abai's hand disappeared.
Adu threw the package containing heavy silver over his shoulder, laughed heartily and floated away.
Yao Ning's spiritual power spread out in all directions like a huge wave, and in the blink of an eye it turned into thousands of small streams, slowly merging into the ground.
It is not difficult to catch Adu, but there are houses and towns around the wilderness, and the spiritual power may accidentally hurt mortals, disturb livestock, and destroy buildings and rice fields.
Ah Bai stood aside in silence. Yao Ning glanced at him thoughtfully. He no longer concealed his feelings and asked with interest, "Peach blossoms in March, the river flows back to its old path. Could it be that Ah Du is from Peach Blossom Temple?"
Yao Ning was not familiar with the Nine Continents Immortal Demon Sects, so A Bai explained for her: "Taohua An is considered a demonic sect that practices the Hehuan technique, but since that Dead Silkworm Demon Lord unified the demon world, Taohua An has been secluded and extremely low-key.
"The world-famous technique of Taohua An is what Adu just taught us. It's called Year Rewinding. It can move time forward, but they themselves will not be affected.
"This method goes against the laws of nature. Excessive use will inevitably backfire. Therefore, even though it's a unique skill of Taohua An, it's always been classified as a forbidden technique. This Miss Adu is vindictive, and to steal your money, she used it three times in a row. It really opened my eyes."
Yao Ning raised his eyebrows, thinking that although Adu looked a little eccentric, his features were very pure and upright, not like someone from the Hehuan Sect. But then he thought, could it be that everyone from the Hehuan Sect had to be alluring and seductive? He himself was too old-fashioned.
He returned to the carriage to check it out and couldn't help but curl his lips.
Ah Bai: "What are you laughing at?"
Yao Ning pointed to the half of the silver that was left: "She is a thief with her own principles. She even kept half."
Ah Bai's eyes flickered between her face and the remaining silver. "It's good that you can still afford my wages."
After some tossing and turning, the two went to sleep.
Yao Ning slept in the carriage, while Abai rekindled the bonfire and fell asleep with his chin supported by his hands.
A dreamless night.
When Yao Ning woke up the next day, the morning light was bright and the birds were singing. He got off the carriage. In the light mist, wild flowers swayed on the grass and dewdrops sparkled on the tips of the grass.
She looked around but couldn't see Abai.
After what happened yesterday, Yao Ning had a bad feeling in his heart.
She returned to the carriage.
Sure enough, half of the remaining silver was gone.
Yao Ning was completely stunned.
She searched the package desperately, but only found a note with casual handwriting on it.
"Miss, you hired me for a day and originally wanted to pay me all the money you had on you, but since the other half was lost, it wasn't your fault, I'll go and ask for it back from A-Du."
There is a line below, and the handwriting is slightly different, as if it was added some time ago.
"You have a high level of cultivation, yet you indulge in love. It's truly despicable. If we meet again someday, and you still look so useless, I will first kill your useless husband and then teach you a lesson."
The signature is "Bai Su".
Bai Su. Yao Ning read these two words and felt vaguely familiar.
Unable to think of anything, Yao Ning gave up and looked at the luxurious carriage and himself, who was penniless. Besides being angry, he also felt a sense of novelty.
Is this the world below the mountain? Adu and Bai Su are different from their fellow disciples of Xuanqing Sect. The malice and arrogance that permeates their bones has given Yao Ning a deeper understanding of the world.
She felt her mind wavering, as if she had some realization, so she sat down to meditate and comprehend the Dao.
After a day and a night, Yao Ning opened his eyes.
I'm hungry.
She led the horse for a few miles and found a horse farm. She sold the carriage and the horse together, got the silver, and went to the most luxurious restaurant in the city and ordered the signature dish mentioned by the waiter.
There were also storytellers in the restaurant, and the stories they were telling were actually about major events in the world of cultivation.
In today's world, the separation between immortals and mortals is not obvious. For example, at the foot of the Xuanqing Sect, there is a bustling city. Mortals admire the cultivators, and in restaurants and shops, they listen with great interest to the stories of the cultivation world.
Yao Ning drank and ate while half listening.
A name suddenly came into my ears.
Yao Ning lowered his eyes, feeling depressed, depressed everywhere.
The storyteller said, "It is said that a few days ago at the Immortal Alliance Conference, the demons attacked and the Taoist companion of Zixiao Daojun was tragically killed. Daojun was so grief-stricken that he almost lost his body. When the young master of Beiming Sect heard about it, he brought the Yaoguang Fairy of Tianshu Sect back to comfort him."
Yao Ning who “died unfortunately”: “…”
"The fairy is stunningly beautiful, and the immortal master, Shen Xianjun, is handsome and graceful. The envoy is unmarried, and Luofu is unmarried. What a perfect couple, a match made in heaven, a perfect match, a harmonious couple..."
Bang.
Yao Ning couldn't control his strength and smashed the table.
