There are many small mountain towns scattered among the peaks of Shu Mountain.
If there were no Shushan Shangqing Sect, such a mountain village would often be more isolated, poor and boring.
But nowadays, these small mountain towns are rare paradises in the whole of China. They are free from war, famine and plague all year round. The monks speak nicely and love living here.
Xu Yinglian's cloth shoes stepped on the bluestone slabs, and her unconcealed beauty attracted the keen attention of passers-by and monks around.
Although after a cultivator refines his Qi and cleanses his marrow, his appearance and inner temperament will be much different from those of ordinary people, but to say that a figure, beauty and temperament like the Phoenix Fairy is one in a million is an understatement.
"Where did the female cultivator come from?"
"I don't know. Judging from his clothes, he doesn't look like he's from Shushan."
The sound of whispering coming from all around gave Xu Yinglian a headache.
In the past, whether she was in the Xu family or in Kunlun, she basically lived a secluded life.
In the Jinling Cave, there is the Congling Mountains. Usually, apart from breathing and refining qi, she practices Taoism, but she rarely has the experience of walking in a busy city. In addition, she just had an argument with Senior Brother Gou, and forgot to cover her face with the veil.
The hot and undisguised gazes around her also made her, who had a cold personality, feel a little disgusted.
So Xu Yinglian turned around and glared at Qiu Changtian.
Qiu Changtian was also a little puzzled, so he walked up to her and held her hand.
Xu Yinglian tried to pull her hand away, but was caught by Qiu Changtian. Her face turned slightly red, and she struggled for a few times but couldn't get away, so she simply gave up.
Qiu Changtian smiled secretly in his heart. He knew that his junior sister's struggle was just a symbolic resistance. If you gave up on her directly, she would be unhappy. This is what a tsundere is like.
They walked hand in hand to the restaurant in the town. It was the only four-story building in the town. It was most pleasant to watch the life of the city from the window.
After going up to the fourth floor of the restaurant, the two sat down by the window. Qiu Changtian called the waiter and said habitually:
"Bring some wine, some daughter's red wine, and two ounces of braised beef in soy sauce, and some peanuts, pickled lotus root, pickled cucumbers, and other cold dishes..."
"Okay!" The waiter had just gone downstairs when he heard a woman coughing from the seat next to him.
Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian turned around and saw that An Zhisu was sitting by the window opposite. On the table was a wine jar, a plate of peanuts, a plate of pickled lotus roots, and a plate of pickled cucumbers.
Both of them were extremely smart and they immediately realized: An Zhisu thought that Qiu Changtian saw the snacks on her table and deliberately ordered the same as her.
In modern society, there is nothing wrong with ordering food based on the table next to you; but in ancient times, when the object is a woman, it seems a bit frivolous and disrespectful. However, considering that they are all monks, not children raised in seclusion, it can be a big deal.
But the real problem is that Xu Yinglian and Qiu Changtian both knew that they had not noticed An Zhisu was here before!
Peanuts, pickled lotus roots, and pickled cucumbers all have one thing in common: they are crispy. Ling Yunpo prefers crispy food to accompany wine, and it is not uncommon among drinkers, so Qiu Changtian didn't pay much attention to it at first.
As for why An Zhisu ordered Ling Yunpo's favorite food, that is another matter.
Qiu Changtian sighed, and remembered that when he was Ling Yunpo guarding the Demon Locking Tower, Senior Sister An was bored and went out for a while... He thought that she was secretly hiding in this restaurant to drink.
It was so embarrassing now, it was hard to just let it go as if nothing had happened, otherwise it would be even harder to explain… With this in mind, he bowed and said:
"Master Jiang Xiao."
An Zhisu was a little surprised to see him greeting her, but mostly she didn't want to pay any attention to him.
After all, she is a person with a very clear distinction between love and hate. She likes the people she likes no matter how she looks at them, but no matter how much she says to the people she hates, she will not change her opinion.
Or to put it more clearly, his emotional intelligence is a little insufficient, and he expresses his joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness too directly... Fortunately, after so many years of Ling Yunpo's earnest teachings, he knows that he must not show his displeasure at such times, so he bowed awkwardly and said:
"Chang Geng, Qiong Ying, long time no see."
The reluctance on her face was so obvious that Xu Yinglian immediately lost his favor for her.
After all, Xu Yinglian didn't know that An Zhisu was just like that by nature, and she treated everyone the same way... She turned around and said to Qiu Changtian:
"Brother, this place is too noisy, why don't we find a quiet place somewhere else?"
As soon as he sat down, he complained that it was "too noisy here" and it was obvious who he was complaining about.
An Zhisu immediately became angry. She had been in a bad mood recently. First, guarding the Demon Locking Tower was too boring. She just flew around the tower every day, which was extremely boring. Second, she was obviously a second-grade golden elixir, and her cultivation was much higher than that of her junior brother, but she was always at a disadvantage when practicing sword skills. The dignity of her senior sister was completely gone.
Third, he and his junior fellow apprentice had already made some progress in their cultivation, and Qingluo Peak's situation in Shushan was no longer as difficult as in previous years. However, his master still showed no signs of coming out of seclusion, and could not see the efforts and achievements that his junior fellow apprentice had made.
It's just annoying.
Then he saw Qiu Changtian, who was better than him, and his arrogant junior sister, which made him even more annoyed.
"If your mind is not at peace, everywhere will be noisy," An Zhisu said coldly.
Qiu Changtian was stunned when he heard this. What? Senior Sister An is now able to retort?
"It's human nature to like the hall that sells orchids and avoid the shop that sells abalone." Xu Yinglian responded indifferently.
Isn't it normal to like halls filled with flowers and plants and avoid stalls with rotten fish and shrimp? Isn't it your problem that I hate you?
"If you don't like Shushan, why did you come from Kunlun?" An Zhisu laughed in anger and stretched out his hand to flick the wine cup, "You are so arrogant, why not drink this cup to cool down."
The wine cup was shot towards Xu Yinglian like a bullet, and she caught it with her quick eyes and hands. However, An Zhisu used a clever force when flicking the wine cup, and the wine in it was originally spinning rapidly, and when the wine cup stopped suddenly, the wine was thrown out and splashed directly into Xu Yinglian's eyes.
Then, under the high temperature, it suddenly turned into steam and dissipated - it was Xu Yinglian who used the Nine Fighting Thunder and Fire Technique with perfect skill, releasing and retracting it just enough to evaporate the splash of wine.
"I've heard that the Shushan Sword Immortal is always right and never gives in." Xu Yinglian said coldly, "Now I see that it's true."
"Thank you for the toast. I would like to give you food in return." She held the bamboo chopsticks in her right hand and flicked the plate. Several peanuts flew towards An Zhisu, ignited in the air without wind, and turned into several fireballs the size of fingernails.
An Zhisu picked up the wine cup, scooped it up in the air with ease, and put all the fireballs into it.
Then the wine cup suddenly exploded in her hand - the so-called Nine-Bucket Thunder and Fire Technique is to use the violent characteristics of fire and lightning, which cannot be suppressed and annihilated by just wine.
This drink exploded all over my hands, its lethality was almost zero, but its insult was extremely high.
An Zhisu was not as good as Xu Yinglian in terms of Taoism, so he suffered a great loss. He immediately stood up solemnly and said in a deep voice:
"I am a guest from afar. It is rare for us to meet. I would like to learn from Master Qiongying's skills."
Qiu Changtian was suddenly shocked: Trouble!
Other Kunlun cultivators may not know, but he knows that when Senior Sister An is really angry, she will beat you to death without mercy!
How many Shushan monks had their life swords cut off by her during duels, causing their power to decline greatly! Otherwise, how did she get the nickname of the Grass-Chopping Sword Fairy?
He was about to speak out to stop her, but Xu Yinglian also stood up and said coldly:
"We can't perform here, why don't we go outside and do it!"
