Half fairy

Chapter 113 Auntie
Not long after, the savage stopped outside a courtyard on the top of a mountain. On the lintel of the courtyard was the word "Xiaoxianlou".

The door was closed tightly, and Lin Chengdao waited under the lantern at the door.

Yu Qing stepped out of the basket, turned her head and watched the savage leave, feeling quite fresh.

Looking at the environment here, the courtyard is not too big, and there are flowers and plants in the garden full of fragrance in the fence.

The whole place is located on the top of the mountain, with steep cliffs on one side and bright lights in the valley on the other. You can vaguely hear singing and dancing from the valley, but it is not so noisy, and there is a sense of tranquility.

"Is this probably the place you said is not open for business?" Yu Qing asked.

Lin Chengdao: "That's right." After saying that, he stretched out his hand to ask.

Yu Qing was not in a hurry to go in, and asked, "I'm afraid the cost here is not low?"

The guard at the side immediately stepped forward and whispered in his ear, "In a place like this, a meal starts with hundreds of taels of silver."

Lin Chengdao waved his hand and said, "I'm the host today, Brother Shi Heng don't care about money."

Yu Qing: "Your monthly salary is only so much. It seems that there is not much money in the warehouse. After removing the expenses, you can't even hire a carriage. It's just to fill your stomach. We can't afford to spend money in such an expensive place."

It's not that I want to help people save money, but that it doesn't feel right. After Guzuka Wasteland suffered a loss, I learned a lesson.

Having said that, Lin Chengdao smiled wryly, "Let's be honest, I also borrowed flowers to present to Buddha, and they were opened by my aunt."

Yu Qing was stunned, "What's your aunt's situation, can she open a shop in this kind of place?"

According to what we have learned before, it is basically impossible for ordinary people to open a store here.

Lin Chengdao glanced at the two guards, and said with some reservations, "It's a long story, and it's not too late to sit down and talk slowly. Today, after Brother Shi Heng's promise, I asked someone to bring the letter in advance. Come here, no other guests are accepted here tonight, only us are accepted, and some irrelevant guys have also been dismissed." After saying that, he walked up the steps and knocked on the door knocker.

After a while, the door opened, and an old woman behind the door looked out, saw Lin Chengdao immediately opened the door, and made way sideways.

Yu Qing was still a bit reserved, and Lin Chengdao didn't know that he was worried about safety issues. He thought he was still worried about spending more money, so he personally went over and pulled Yu Qing's arm, and forced Yu Qing, who was half-pushed and half-resigned, to come in.

After several people entered, Lin Chengdao took Yu Qing to the backyard.

The backyard is on the cliff, among the pavilions and pavilions, the flowers and plants are decorated very elegantly. When you walk to the terrace, you can see the sky full of stars, which is completely different from the night sky seen at the gate.

Standing outside the gate and looking towards the valley, the lights are like flowing clouds, and the stars in the sky cannot be seen.

Standing here and isolating the valley, the scene on the other side is immediately full of stars, and there are faint singing and dancing movements from other places, half human, half ecstasy, which is trance-like and refreshing.

Leaning on the railing, Yu Qing patted the railing, and found that the grade of Linglong Temple was indeed a bit low in the same mountain nest.

After a while, a skinny old man appeared in a nearby pavilion. He was also the cook of Xiaoxianlou, with a long box under one arm and a large bucket in one hand.

"Brother Shi Heng, let me show you something good." Lin Chengdao greeted.

Yu Qing looked away from the starry sky and followed him. After entering the pavilion, he looked into the big bucket and found that there was nothing in it except half a bucket of water.

After the cook opened the box, what was revealed was a cone-shaped transparent ice cube that was one foot long.

The cook took out the ice cubes and threw them directly into the bucket, Lin Chengdao stared at them with interest.

Yu Qing couldn't understand it at all. He looked at the cook, and then at Lin Chengdao. He didn't know what the hell was going on. Seeing that the two were staring at each other, he had to stare and check carefully to see if he had missed something. .

Not long after, Lin Chengdao pointed into the barrel and shouted, "Come out!"

This time, Yu Qing also saw some clues, and saw that the transparent ice that almost blended with the color of the water gradually showed signs of turning blue. Gradually, the blue became more and more obvious. After the complete outline appeared, it turned out to be a bird The look of the fish.

It is a one-foot-long ice-blue fish with fine blue scales, sapphire-like eyes, and beautiful transparent blue fins. The whole is really beautiful.

The most unbelievable thing was that the ice fish moved and began to writhe in the water, and came alive.

Seeing Yu Qing's surprised expression, Lin Chengdao felt satisfied, and explained: "This is a 'underworld fish', which is produced in the underworld sea. After it comes out of the water, its body surface freezes and freezes itself. It can not eat or drink in the frozen state. It can survive for three months without breathing, and it will come back to life after being put into the water after the ice melts. This fish contains spiritual energy and is quite popular among practitioners."

"Is this fish brought from the distant sea of ​​darkness?" Yu Qing was surprised.

Ming Hai knew that it was an area in the vast sea, shrouded in mist, and once he broke into it, it would be another world of eternal night.There is no direction at all in that place, and there are no road signs. People who stray into it by mistake will basically not be able to get out, and will be trapped to death in it. Therefore, it is called "the sea of ​​darkness", which means the sea of ​​death.

If you want to travel in the sea of ​​darkness, you usually need to spend money to find ferrymen in the sea of ​​darkness. They can take people through the sea of ​​death in the eternal night.

Why would someone go to the sea of ​​death in the eternal night?Naturally not to catch the fish in front of me, because the other side of the dark sea is the largest mutual trade market in the demon world, and that place is even more fantastic than Xiyuefang. It is called the sea market, and the top figures of the demon clan also live there.

Haishi was originally a blessed place where an immortal lived. After the immortal disappeared, it was taken over by a group of monsters. Today's spiritual rice seeds first came from Haishi.

Lin Chengdao: "That's right! In order to deliver it within three months, after catching it, you have to spend money to find 'Qianli Lang' to send it over."

Based on the distance from Minghai to here, Yu Qing pondered for a while, "Wouldn't the shipping cost be about three thousand taels?"

Lin Chengdao smiled wryly, "In fact, the most expensive thing is the shipping fee. A ghost fish of this size is actually only a thousand or two. But being able to make friends with Brother Shi Heng, money is second. Today I want to invite Brother Shi Heng to try it out." It's this thing!"

Yu Qing understood that this meal really cost money, and he also knew Lin Chengdao's intention to befriend him, but he had never eaten such an expensive thing in his life, and he felt a little pain before eating.

He estimated that Xiaoxianlou would have to sell this fish normally for at least five thousand taels, how much Lingmi would he have to buy!
It's really not worth it to eat thousands of taels of shipping in one bite!

He murmured in his heart, he might as well discount it into silver and give it to Lao Tzu.

However, he wasn't shameless enough, so he kept muttering, "It's too expensive, too expensive."

Lin Chengdao said that he didn't need to spend the money himself, and then signaled the cook to cook the fish.

He himself sat down with Yu Qing under the lantern on the balcony and poured tea with his own hands.

Regardless of whether Lin Chengdao spent money or not, Yu Qing must have asked clearly at this time, "Why did your aunt open a shop here?"

Now, Lin Chengdao didn't hide anything anymore, and asked, "Brother Shi Heng, have you heard of 'Quhe Mountain'?"

Yu Qing was slightly stunned, "I heard that Lingzhi is one of the most famous sects in the practice world. You wouldn't say that your aunt is a Lingzhi teacher?"

Lin Chengdao: "Brother Shi Heng is really insightful. That's right, my aunt is the spiritual planter of 'Quhe Mountain'. Because she was involved in an internal faction dispute, she was cleared after she lost and was hunted down by the other party. I didn’t want to let go, so I found me in desperation..."

After recounting a past event, Yu Qing realized that this guy was the so-called hidden family member of a cultivator in the mundane world. It was his aunt who really stepped into the world of practice in his family, and it was also because of his aunt who silently provided financial support behind his back. Only then did he have a good environment for studying and getting an official career.

The change was due to the internal dispute in Quhe Mountain. Lin Chengdao's aunt lost the fight for power and lost her life. Her daughter, Lin Chengdao's aunt had to flee from the sect because of this.Later, he found Lin Chengdao for help, and it was precisely because Lin Chengdao helped his aunt that the majestic seventh-rank official was demoted to look at the warehouse.

Lin Chengdao's official position in Yushitai was not high at that time, but his position was important, and all the letters of exposure that entered Yushitai had to be passed through him. His status happened to be something that some people in the court wanted to curry favor with.There was an accident in his family, and there were no relatives left, only such an aunt was left. Seeing that his aunt's life was in danger, Lin Chengdao, in desperation, used his influence and the power of the court to let people who didn't know directly put the pursuer The person who killed his aunt was arrested, and he helped her escape.

Qu Heshan is not a small sect in the world of practice, how can he just sit back and watch, naturally he has to ask the Jin Kingdom court to explain.

Seeing that the matter was about to turn into a big mess, it was the people who participated in this matter mobilized their forces to settle the matter, on the condition that Lin Chengdao alone should bear the responsibility.

But that side can be regarded as mobilizing force to make the big event smaller, otherwise Lin Chengdao would be demoted to go to the warehouse so simple.

Before Lin Chengdao was demoted, he also arranged for his aunt to live in seclusion in Xiyuefang.

Of course, his aunt was sympathetic to this matter. For example, when Xiaoxianlou arrived in Mingyu, it was his aunt who told him specifically that there were good things here, and if it was useful for a treat, she would come over.

After listening to the story, Yu Qing asked a little curiously: "Who is the one who helped you arrest people and help you settle the matter?"

Lin Chengdao's face collapsed, and he couldn't laugh or cry: "Brother Shiheng, you are a little bit too much, I confide in you, you can't do this, some things are over when they are over, both grievances and grievances are gone, people don't know me anymore. There is no basis for mentioning it, and it is not good for everyone to say it."

After the two chatted for a while, Ming Yu was also ready.

A tall woman in a purple skirt came with a tray, with tall temples, bright eyes, and a beautiful appearance. She was a graceful woman with aura.

Lin Chengdao was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and said, "Auntie, why are you here?"

aunt?Yu Qing followed and stood up, looked at the woman up and down, with a look of astonishment on her face, this woman who looks much younger than Lin Chengdao is actually that aunt?He thought it was the old woman who opened the door earlier.
