Chapter 174: Fire Spirit Pearl
Old Qin looked at the boy in front of him and nodded with satisfaction. He said with emotion, "Boy Yan, I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a few years, you have already broken through the Spirit Severing Stage. Not bad, not bad. You didn't embarrass your grandfather." Emperor Yan said embarrassedly, "Thank you for the compliment, Old Qin. Please sit down, Old Qin." As he said that, he pulled out a stool and asked Old Qin to sit down. Leng Youran looked at them in surprise, and said belatedly, "Brother Yan, you know Grandpa Qin and the others." Emperor Yan looked at the confused look of the little girl and couldn't help rubbing her little head and said, "Girl, my grandfather and Old Qin are good friends. Old Qin also watched me grow up." Leng Youran said "Oh" and started to make tea without saying anything else. He brewed two cups of tea and placed them in front of Old Qin and Yuan Niang, motioning them to try them and see how they tasted.
Old Qin picked up the tea and took a sip to savor it carefully. Although this spiritual tea was not very old and the grade was not as high as before, the spiritual power in this cloud tea was more surging than before. He opened his eyes, looked at Leng Youran and said, "Little girl, the spiritual tea tastes good this time. The only drawback is that although this spiritual tea contains fire spiritual power, it lacks a lot compared to the others." Leng Youran nodded. She also knew that the five elements spiritual beads in the space only lacked fire. She was also trying to find a way to use other things to improve the current situation in the space before finding the fire spiritual beads. So she smiled bitterly and said, "Grandpa Qin, I also want to improve this situation, but I haven't found any fire treasures, so I can only do this for now." Old Qin glanced at the little girl and smiled, then took out a fire crystal stone the size of his head from the storage ring. This is much more precious than the fire spirit stone. You must know that only a large-scale top-grade fire spirit vein can produce fire crystal stones, and a fire spirit stone the size of a fingernail can be exchanged for thousands of top-grade spirit stones. And Old Qin actually took out a fire crystal stone the size of his head. How could Leng Youran not be surprised! Old Qin said, "Girl, take this for you first, and don't be in a hurry to refuse. If you feel embarrassed, just don't forget Grandpa Qin when you get something good. I'm going to stay in Huocheng for a while and will leave here in half a year. Wherever you live, I'll find you there." Leng Youran stopped being pretentious after hearing what Old Qin said. She put the things on the table into the storage ring and said to Old Qin, "Grandpa Qin, don't worry. Half a year is almost up. I'll brew some more spirit wine for you then. I hope you don't dislike Youran's spirit wine because it's of too low a grade." Old Qin smiled when he looked at the little girl in front of him, and thought of his old friend far away in Beicang Continent, so he asked, "Girl, how did you come to Dongming Continent? Do your grandfather and the others know?" Leng Youran's mood suddenly fell when he heard his grandfather mentioned. The smiling face suddenly collapsed.
With a depressed look on her face, she told Old Qin about her experiences in the past few years, starting from when she left the sect to gain experience, and continued to talk about how she was seriously injured by Tianyin Zhenjun. She emphasized that at that time, Tianyin Zhenjun was already the leader of the evil cultivators in Beicang Continent, but she just glossed over her own experience after being injured. It was not a good memory, so the little girl was reluctant to recall that somewhat helpless experience again, so she glossed over this part. Finally, she said that she actually met her father's family here, so she now lives in the Leng family.
Old Qin couldn't help but feel sorry for her when he heard her story. He knew that the little girl must be very sad about the period that she had glossed over, so the little girl didn't want to recall it again. He had also heard about the childhood experiences of this little granddaughter of Mo Shang. It was not easy for the little girl to grow up to where she is now. He didn't expect that the little girl was on the verge of death again. If Mo Shang knew about the little girl's experience, he would definitely be heartbroken.
After hearing the last part, Old Qin couldn't help but say, "Girl, you've suffered so much." Leng Youran smiled and poured Old Qin a cup of spiritual tea and said, "Grandpa Qin, it's all in the past. You see, I'm fine now. Although I need to practice again, this is also another test of my state of mind.
Grandpa Qin, don't worry. I have now recovered to the eighth level of Qi training. I believe it won't be long before I can break through to the foundation-building stage again." When Old Qin heard that practicing again was also another test of one's state of mind, he nodded and said, "Girl, if you can think like this, it means that your state of mind is good. Keep working hard. Grandpa Qin believes in you." Leng Youran also raised her chin with a little pride and said arrogantly on purpose, "Of course, don't you see whose granddaughter I am?" This made Yuanniang laugh out loud, and she said happily, "Okay, little girl, stop talking nonsense. Take out all the spiritual wine you brewed. I've been thinking about it for a long time. "As he spoke, he nodded her little head. Leng Youran took out a pot of Xiaoyaozui and introduced it, "Grandpa Qin, this is Xiaoyaozui. Although the grade is not high, you can drink it first." As he spoke, he kept taking out "This is monkey wine, this is red fruit wine, which is very suitable for female cultivators, this is cold plum wine, this is Taoyuan wine, this is Yuzhu wine, and there is also the spiritual wine I brewed with lychees. Grandpa Qin, try it first to see how it tastes. If you like it, I will prepare more for you." As he spoke, he took out a lot of jade cups and placed them neatly on the table.
Emperor Yan smiled as he watched the little girl taking the wine, raised his slender big hand, picked up the wine pot and began to pour wine. The little girl arranged the wine glasses in a very interesting way, with three in each row, just one for each person, and the number of wine glasses was three times the number of spiritual wine.
He first picked up a cup and pushed it in front of Mr. Qin, and then pushed the other cup in front of Yuan Niang. The three of them began to taste the wine slowly, one cup at a time.
Old Qin pointed at the lychee wine and said, "Girl, does this have a name?" Leng Youran shook his head and said honestly, "Grandpa Qin, I call him Xiao Hongchen. This name also has an allusion!" Old Qin said in surprise, "What allusion is it?" Leng Youran smiled, opened her mouth slightly, and slowly recited a poem, "Looking back at Chang'an, I see piles of embroidery, and thousands of doors on the mountaintop open one after another.
A horse gallops through the red dust, and the concubine smiles. No one knows it is the lychees coming. ” After reading the poem, the girl began to talk about the story. The little girl said vividly, “This poem describes the story of an emperor named Tang and his concubine Yang Guifei. It is said that Yang Guifei likes to eat lychees. She heard that lychees from Hainan are tastier than those from Sichuan, so she acted coquettishly to Emperor Xuanzong and asked to eat lychees from Hainan.
However, transportation was inconvenient at that time. Hainan was thousands of miles away from Chang'an. If the transportation was slow, the litchi would rot.
So, in order to win a smile from Yang Guifei, Tang Xuanzong ordered fast horses to deliver lychees from Hainan to Chang'an day and night. Countless horses died of exhaustion and soldiers shed countless sweat on the way, all for the sake of making the concubine smile. "Here she paused and said, "I thought of this allusion, so I named it 'Xiao Hongchen'. What do you think of this name, Grandpa Qin?" Old Qin nodded with a smile, while Yuanniang on the side said dissatisfiedly, "This Yang Guifei is too...!" She got stuck there, not knowing how to describe it. Leng Youran smiled and said, "Yuanniang, in fact, it's not about how Yang Guifei is. It's about how Tang Xuanzong was too licentious and immoral. Okay, let's not talk about this. Tell me what kind of spiritual wine you like. How about I prepare it for you?" Yuanniang thought for a while and said, "I like cold plums and red fruits, but can you change the name of the cold plum wine? How about calling it Aoxue?" Leng Youran was stunned and unconsciously murmured two poems that she liked in her previous life.
"The plum blossom blooms alone in the snow,
Only the beautiful woman comes with fragrance.
Understand the cold plum blossoms that penetrate to the bone,
The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold."
After muttering a poem, he paused and then continued to mutter.
"The plum blossoms bloom proudly for you in the snow,
Helplessly falling into the mortal world.
To realize my dream, I strive for an early spring.
Mistakenly letting the fragrance bloom in the cold winter."
She liked these two poems very much. Now when Yuanniang mentioned the poem "The Plum Blossoms Bloom in the Snow", she couldn't help but murmur it aloud.
After she finished murmuring, she immediately clapped her hands and said, "Just call her Aoxue." The Yan Emperor on the side was surprised. These two poems often appeared in his dreams. It was a woman's low murmuring, which coincided with the little girl's voice just now. Yan Emperor was no longer confused at this time. He had already decided that he would be with the little girl for the rest of his life, so he decided that no matter in a dream or in reality, the little girl would always be the girl he loved the most. After figuring all this out, the corners of Yan Emperor's lips curled up unconsciously. His little girl was so cute no matter how he looked at her.
