Shrouding the sky: Slashing the world of mortals with a sword, becoming the strongest empress

Chapter 2 Desire Downstairs
After a brief flashback, Lin Xiao grew old again.He was a little regretful, his bloodless lips were cracked, and he still said softly: "I forced my cultivation before, just to break through my limit, and to experience the feeling of flying. With the help of the wind, I managed to glide for twenty miles. It's a pity that now I don’t have the strength to take you to see the scenery in the sky.”

Nan Xiao shook her head, gently tugged on the old man's sleeve, and comforted her with red eyes: "Grandpa Lin Xiao, I'm fine."

The old man was very sympathetic, pursed his lips, and said with a light smile: "After I die, there is no need to collect my body. I think this ruined temple is very good. I want it! I think I have lived a lonely life, and after I die, I can be with the world." Forgotten gods sleep together, and are not alone."

After saying that, the little girl Nan Xiao was pushed out of the temple by a gentle force.

Nan Xiao sat down on the ground, and beside her feet lay a crescent-shaped jade pendant the size of a broad bean, orange-yellow, with a few streams of light and shadow flowing on it.

"Grandpa Lin Xiao!"

Nan Xiao cried and wanted to run back to the temple, but there seemed to be a barrier in front of her, which she couldn't break through.

"Twenty miles to the south of this place is the blessed land of Qingya on the Shu Road. Little girl, that jade pendant is my magic weapon. If someone makes things difficult for you in the future, you can rely on this jade pendant to find Elder Zilu. My benefactor, I don't expect to embarrass you..."

Accepting the jade pendant solemnly, Nan Xiao looked sad, she already guessed that the old man was explaining his funeral.

"After I die, you don't need to be too sad for me, let alone dig a grave and erect a monument. This is my end, but it is also your starting point. Therefore, I have never experienced the beautiful scenery. Please, little girl, no, yes My savior, and your savior understood it for me!"

The old man waved his hand at the little girl, and then shot out dozens of blue filaments from the navel, piercing directly through the load-bearing wall of the ruined temple.

"Boom--"

The ruined temple that had been abandoned for an unknown amount of time finally collapsed.

The little girl who just got the name Nan Xiao stood on top of the ruins, lost her mind for a long time.

Big teardrops fell from the eye sockets, and the body twitched slightly, holding back desperately, unwilling to cry out loud.

She knelt on the ground, her originally clear and bright eyes were bloodshot.

Second time.

Relatives and friends died in front of her, but she was powerless.

This kind of desperation beyond personal ability is unbearable for a little girl who is only six or seven years old.

But alone, she can only move forward with heavy burdens.

The ruined temple collapsed, and the crescent moon jade pendant no longer had a hazy light and shadow flowing after Li Xiao's death.

It's just that when Nan Xiao put the jade pendant into her arms, she felt the faint and gentle warmth.

As the sun sets on the western mountains, the birds leave and return to the forest.

Nan Xiao bit her lip tightly and clenched her small hands into fists, her knuckles turned white due to too much force.

After taking one last look at the ruins, she turned and left.

In the future, mountains and rivers are far away, and the road is long and obstructed, she cannot be sad for too long.

Nan Xiao, it's hard to laugh.

One day, she will make those who deserve to die unable to laugh.

------------

The town is called Wangxian Market.

Because of its geographical location very close to the only fairy gate in the territory of Shu Dao, it is full of people and extremely lively.

The porter holds a wooden pole with bamboo baskets tied to both ends, which contain all kinds of cloth and food.

The butcher held a blunt knife on the chopping board, and slashed at the skeleton of the cow.

A group of children surrounded the hawker, shouting and vying to be the first person to own the candy figure of Fairy Qingcheng.

Restaurants everywhere opened up, smoke billowed from the kitchen, and the smell of meat wafted into the nostrils.

The store on the left has fresh big white buns out of the oven, and the store on the right serves a bowl of tender and delicious stewed tofu with a handful of coriander powder on top.

There is a constant stream of traffic.

There was a sound of greetings and joy.

Nan Xiao, who arrived here after walking for three days, swallowed wildly, but she didn't look sideways, and walked straight to the east of the market.

Along the way, Nan Xiao made many inquiries and learned that beside the east exit of the market, there is a stone step to the sky.

As long as you can reach the end, you will have the opportunity to visit the immortals and achieve extraordinary fruit status.

When turning a corner, Nan Xiao was attracted by a building.

The building has three floors, the whole body is ebony, but the style is elegant, similar to Taoism, but the doors and windows are bright red.

Elegance and glamour collided violently, and there were two crimson lanterns hanging in front of Zhumen.

There were black characters engraved on the lanterns, and Nan Xiao could hear the connotations of those words from the whispers of others nearby.

The Red Chamber is famous, called Miaoyu.

Is this the place where my brother warned me many times not to be tricked into it?

Nan Xiao tightly held the copper ring around her neck with her left hand, she no longer missed the novelty, and continued walking east.

"Hey, I said the magpies have been calling all the time this morning! Damn girl, forgot what I told you, if I see you again, I'll sell you!"

A rough voice sounded from behind, Nan Xiao froze for a moment, then ran forward frantically without looking back.

After squeezing into the crowd watching the circus, Nan Xiao, with a short body, rushed out from under the red horse's hooves with a sliding shovel, and managed to escape to the opposite side.

But Nan Xiao didn't expect that voice to follow her everywhere, and when she hurriedly looked back, she saw that person.

A strong man with a big shoulder and a round waist squeezed out from the crowd, carrying a large package full of blood on his back, panting heavily.

"Hey——I mean, the second child of the Wang family, it's so late to come here to buy goods! When will you give me the money I owe my aunt!"

From the ostentatious Miaoyu upstairs, there is a woman's delicate voice flowing down.

Although the voice was flat and lazy, it was like a hook, making the listener involuntarily stamp their feet and listen to it.

Everyone looked back, only to see a woman with heavy make-up, leaning against the window lattice, with spring in her eyes.

"Hey, Miss Xiuhong, just wait, I'll push this stinky girl to you first, just train me, and I'll be able to pay you back your money after I work for another half a year!"

The brawny man who was replaced as the second child of the Wang family has successfully captured Nan Xiao with a faster speed.
He tightly grabbed Nan Xiao's arm, and without any explanation, he was about to send Nan Xiao into that fragrant and powdery high-rise building.

"what--"

Nan Xiao was not stupid, Hanhan bit the thick hand that was in front of her arm, her foot slipped, and disappeared into the crowd again.

"You stinky girl, see if I catch you this time and beat you to death!"

The second son of the Wang family, who had lost face in front of everyone, entrusted the pork on his back to Mr. Turtle on duty in Miaoyu Tower for safekeeping, then rolled up his sleeves, took big strides, and chased after him again.

"Please let me go, let me go!"

Relying on her petite body, Nan Xiao nimbly walked through the crowd.

Some people cursed, but they still gave up their seats.

But more people were unmoved, and they seemed to be in a fight with Nan Xiao, they just blocked the road and refused to leave.

There were even a few people who reached out to grab her, but Nan Xiao dodged them in time.

"Little beggar, when I catch you, I have to kill you!"

Seeing the little girl running farther and farther, the second son of the Wang family became furious and shouted: "Whoever catches this stinky girl, in the next three days, come to the Wang's meat stall in Banyuepo and give away half a cage of big meat buns!"

As soon as the words fell, there were only a few people chasing Nan Xiao at first, but now it has become a large group.

Nan Xiao, who was able to swim like a fish in water in the crowd before, was like a fish forced to go ashore in an instant, and it was extremely difficult to turn over.

"Little girl, run to the sky, I see if these cowards dare to chase after them!"

Suddenly, upstairs in Miaoyu, the smiling woman leaning against the bright mahogany window gave a reminder.At this time, her voice was no longer provocative, but with a trace of resentment.

Hearing this, Nan Xiao immediately ran away.

And the second son of the Wang family who was chasing after him turned around and cursed angrily: "Xiu Hong, you lowly hoof that is ridden by thousands of people, your grandfather, I gave you a good face, right?!"

"Wang Er, when your aunt and grandma and I were sold to the Miaoyu Building and forced to fight with your own father on the bed, you little bitch didn't know where to pee and make mud!"

The happy woman named Xiuhong rolled her big eyes, and twisted her graceful body away.

There is only one half-open bright red window left on Miaoyu's high-rise building. You can see the pink screen inside, and you can even faintly see half of the woman's fragrant shoulder deliberately exposed.

Although Nan Xiao said that she didn't know what a ray of sky was, she knew very well where her destination was.

Taking advantage of the people behind her spying on the woman in Miaoyulou, Nan Xiao was out of breath and finally reached the end of the trip.

The Shu Road leads to the blessed land of Qingya, with a total of [-] stone steps, and the height between every two steps is a quarter of a meter.

Although the steps are neither wide nor steep, just counting them is already extremely difficult for a six or seven-year-old Nan Xiao.

Nan Xiao didn't stop, and directly climbed the first step of the mountain.

Wuyang Wuyang followed a group of people from behind.

But their pursuit stopped immediately when they were three meters away from the bluestone steps.

"Come down and listen to uncle, uncle will give you barbecue buns to eat!"

Forcibly changing his face, the second son of the Wang family seemed unwilling to Nan Xiao to continue to climb up at this time, coaxing him with coaxing words.

Seeing that Nan Xiao was unmoved, the second son of the Wang family lost his mood for acting, and returned to his original appearance, saying in a vicious voice: "You bastard, you bastard, there is a ladder for immortals in front of you. You little brat, you will definitely be thrown to death."

Nan Xiao went up two more steps, and was already on the same height as Wang Er, a strong man.Then he sat on the fourth step and quietly looked at the distraught second son of the Wang family.

The second son of the Wang family, who was treated like this, was about to grit his teeth, and his tone gradually became more serious, and he said in a hateful voice: "Have you seen the big sister upstairs in Miaoyu, followed her, and you will be popular and spicy in the future , can wear gold, silver and jewelry, and even receive immortals to enjoy the grace and rain, isn’t it better than you stole my meat bun before? I’m saving you!”

"I'm not going!"

Nan Xiao finally spoke, her expression was flat, as if neither happy nor sad.

But her imposing manner was extremely flamboyant, with her head held high, coupled with those clear phoenix eyes, she was full of vigor.

The previously scattered hair has been combed, revealing the handsome and beautiful facial features.

Although she is still a little immature now, she can see the embryonic form of a beauty.

This is also the main reason why the second son of the Wang family suddenly wanted to sell Nan Xiao to Miaoyulou, a fun venue.

He is well-informed, so he can naturally see that with Nan Xiao's current beauty, as long as he doesn't become disabled in the future, he will definitely become the oiran of this place.

At that time, what is red and green is the meat dregs of lard refining.

In front of the real delicacies of mountains and seas, the little bit of meat is not on the table at all.
