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

Chapter 82: Repay love with love, time with songs

Immortals pour water and lift it, and Luo water comes out.

Since the mythical age, it has been dripping from the palms of several deities, flowing down the river in a mighty rush.

I once passed by Minggu, a short-lived flower in the history books, and a few waves splashed on the treasure wheel of the underworld, giving birth to the Nine Netherworld's underworld.

Then along the ancient road where kings rose up together, we have witnessed the strong men of all races ascending to the top to prove themselves as emperors, and those who rose up were willing to become war immortals.

And so it goes for another million years.

The Luo River, which used to be mighty and turbulent in the past, has only become a tributary that is about to dry up as it flows through the ancient times.

Even Luo He, who was rumored to be born as a result of the immortal's irrigation, could not escape time.

Time passes by, but who stands by the river bank, listening to Buddhist scriptures, smelling the incense of rosin, and looking at the gods?
The street is long and the fireworks are numerous. Who is watching behind the lights?

The scattered light of falling lotus water in the years turned into clouds and rain all over the sky.

When water and sky meet, Luohe is reborn.

It was an almost straight cut.

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

After Nan Xiao walked down the last step of bluestone on the Shu Road, all the clouds and mist covering his body dissipated.

The eyes that are no longer covered can see the prosperity in front of you, and the cries of sales in your ears make the world taste interesting.

It was only now that Nan Xiao regained her five senses.

It is completely considered that he has returned to the secular world from the immortal world.

A dream in nine years.

The moonlight above the head is the same as that outside the fairy gate, neither clear nor dark, neither near nor far.

It was late at night and the lights were bright in the morning.

The Wangxian Market in front of us is far more lively than it was during the day nine years ago.

"Candied haws, sour and sweet candied haws..."

Behind the straw filled with shiny candied haws, a simple and honest smile appeared.

The owner of the honest smile was a lame man who was standing three steps away from Nan Xiao, using a cane to hawk.

A kind-hearted lady with a silver-plated face approached Nan Xiao who suddenly appeared. She did not show any strange expression, and then eagerly took Nan Xiao's hand and said: "Roasted sweet potatoes, fragrant roasted sweet potatoes! Girl, girl, you Look, look, I’m covered in cold air! Come and eat a sweet potato to drive away the cold!”

Nan Xiao was in a daze. She had thought about her words, but now she felt that the reactions of the people around her were very different from what she expected.

Looking back again, I found that the ten thousand steps of Shu Road I had walked before had disappeared.

what happened?

Nan Xiao, who hadn't figured it out yet, was quickly surrounded.

Each piece of Qingya Paradise's colorful fairy clothes is hand-sewn by a weaver girl who is proficient in embroidery.

Nan Xiao was wearing a blue shirt at this time. Although the style was simple, the details were outstanding.

Therefore, some vendors in Wangxian Market, even if they did not recognize Nan Xiao as a cultivator on the mountain, knew that Nan Xiao was either rich or noble.

As a result, almost half of the street vendors swarmed towards Nanxiao's position.

"You can eat a licorice candy man that won't make you fat. You can eat all you want for five cents! Girl, where did you come from? Are you hungry? I see you are handsome, so I gave you this candy man!"

"Flowing Firefly Lantern, Flowing Firefly Lantern, carrying it, you are no longer afraid of walking at night - little girl, are you afraid of the dark? There is a fire here..."

"Donkey rolling, donkey rolling is so delicious, ten cents each! Thirty cents for two! Girl, mine is more delicious than theirs! Dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the ground, keep it for your flower-like jade My delicate body warmed up quickly!"

"Girl, girl, I see that you have a beautiful face. If you don't have a way to protect yourself, I'm afraid it will be difficult to protect yourself! It's a coincidence that my master passed away recently, leaving behind several secret books that are famous in the martial arts world. Half of them are sold and half are given away, just for Let the girl no longer be lonely! Qinggong Water Floating, Golden Bell Mask, Xingyi Quan, all only need three ounces of silver, only three ounces of silver! Girl, it is better to act than to move your heart..."

Nan Xiao, who was surrounded by hawkers, was at a loss for a moment.

But after realizing that he was considered a wealthy person in the mortal world, he became calm and spent extremely generously.

There are several martial arts secret books on his waist, a candy man riding a crane is biting in his mouth, three steaming sweet potatoes are held on his left index finger, and two bunches of candied haws and an elegant Liuying lantern are held in his right palm.

He even rolled around with three donkeys in his arms.

Just the donkey rolling, which was getting more and more expensive, cost her a hundred pence.

Including some other miscellaneous things, Nan Xiao spent a total of twenty taels of gold.

Nan Xiao had a lot of money at this time, so she didn't care whether she made a profit or a loss by buying it like this, she just felt happy in her heart.

After Nan Xiao completely asked the vendors, she gave the endless delicacies and lanterns to some children playing on the street.
Not long after, Nan Xiao found a tailor shop with an elegant appearance, so she took off her blue shirt and put on a smart black men's suit.

Entering the long street again, the handsome young man once again attracted the attention of several vendors.

But this time Nan Xiao had a better memory and ran away quickly, heading straight for the pink lantern in his memory.

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

"My lord, I've been having fun lately. I promise to serve you comfortably..."

Miaoyu Tower is still ostentatious.

Even the passing wind is scented with fragrance.

Nan Xiao avoided the young girl who came up to her and strode towards the building.

In the hustle and bustle of sensual dogs and horses, Nan Xiao is the only quiet one.

After throwing out a tael of gold for a moment of silence, Nan Xiao waited for the man.

The beautiful red girl who looked like spring water at first is now an even more plump lady even though she is half-year-old.

She walked from upstairs to downstairs, leaning on the door frame gracefully.

There were already some wrinkles on the exposed arms, but Xiuhong did not hide it, waving the handkerchief openly and teasing the crowds coming and going.

Her facial features are gorgeous, her figure is graceful, and she is extremely charming.

Under the eyes that are comparable to peach blossoms, there are layers of autumn water surging.

It's just that the tiredness in the eyebrows can't be covered up no matter how hard the powder is applied.

Nan Xiao had already put on a black outfit, and even her pink lips were painted black.

She walked straight forward and wanted to go upstairs, but was stopped by the former Xiuhong girl and now the madam.

Xiuhong leaned forward and whispered in her ear: "Little girl, this is not the place you should come..."

Hearing this, Nan Xiao's eyes suddenly tightened.

Xiuhong actually saw through her disguise as a man in an instant!
Even though she is now in the Shenqiao realm, and has used the Breath Condensation Technique and Qingling Jue to hide her true identity as much as possible, she still has not escaped Xiu Hong, who has seen countless people in Miaoyu Tower.

Seeing Nan Xiao's sudden change in expression, Xiu Hong was heartbroken.

Then, she became more playful and looked at Nan Xiao, who was disguised as a man, with a smile.

First, he pursed his lips, blew into Nan Xiao's ear, and then said delicately: "Little girl, come to my sister's place, have you brought enough silver?"

Nan Xiao's face turned red, she gently grabbed Xiu Hong's arm and continued walking upstairs, keeping her head down and saying nothing.

Even though Nan Xiao didn't dare to use much strength, it still caused Xiu Hong to feel a slight pain, but she did not cry out, but instead waved away some turtle men and boys who came forward to help.

In this way, Xiuhong half pushed and half let Nan Xiao pull her to an attic and closed the door smoothly.

After making sure that there was no third person except himself and Xiuhong, Nan Xiao answered Xiuhong's previous question and simply said: "I'm not."

Hearing this, Xiuhong smiled, stood up and closed the door and window, then frowned and said slowly and angrily: "Since you are not a prostitute, then this is not the place for you. Even though I am wearing men's clothes, I I can see that you are absolutely beautiful. Go back and don’t go astray.”

Nan Xiao felt warm in her heart, but she didn't expect that after ten years, Xiuhong would still be kind.

"Thank you for helping me ten years ago." Nan Xiao bowed and thanked her solemnly.Xiuhong's eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at Nan Xiao carefully. After a moment of silence, she said, "It's you, little beggar..."

"I just said it casually at the time. But you are so awesome, you can actually climb ten thousand steps! Those damn ghosts upstairs kept talking about you in my ears later!"

She was a little sad, but the pride in her words was not concealed.

Nan Xiao smiled softly, and her tense mind relaxed a little now.

"But these years must have been very difficult. It's really difficult for you."

Xiuhong restrained herself a lot after recognizing Nan Xiao.

She gently raised her hand and wanted to touch Nan Xiao's head, but when she saw her bright red nails and the back of her hand that had seen a lot of changes, she felt a little sour, so she hesitated and wanted to take her hand back.

Nan Xiao was thoughtful and took the initiative to rest her head on Xiu Hong's hand before Xiu Hong took her hand back.

In the past few days, many people have asked why Nan Xiao is so strong, but no one has ever asked her if she is tired from doing so.

Although life is bitter, just a little bit of sweetness is enough for Nan Xiao to remember for a long time.

This has been the case in the past, and it will be even more so in the future.

Xiuhong's eyes were slightly moist, and she gently straightened Nan Xiao's clothes, and pulled back the scattered hair around Nan Xiao's ears to make her look more like a man.

After a long while, Xiuhong held Nan Xiao's face, smiled and joked: "I know you are beautiful, but you can't ruin yourself like this! Why do you want to dress up as a man? Is it because of those unclean people above who always love Did the arrogant cultivator do something bad? But it's okay for you to hide your clumsiness like this. After all, a beautiful girl like you can easily be targeted in this so-called world that eats people without blinking an eye... So, since you have to pretend to be a man, Adam's apple , eyebrows, sharpness around the eyes, and outward confidence, all have to look good! You have to take care of yourself when you go out from now on. Face is the most useless thing. Saving your life is the most important thing. You have to know , it’s better to die than live!”

Nan Xiao smiled, her phoenix eyes no longer sharp, only bright.

She nodded heavily, and then said: "I'm leaving soon, do you need me to do anything for you? For example, get out of here?"

Hearing Nan Xiao speak like this, the woman named Xiu Hong was overjoyed.

In the eyes of some prostitutes, Xiuhong's body, which exuded a mature charm, was like fluttering catkins in the wind, looking soft and yet feeling fragile.

Xiuhong raised her hand to wipe away her tears and laughed at herself: "Hahaha, little girl, I heard that your name is Nan Xiao, right? What a good name! Xiaoxiao! I hope you can also be free. But, your sister, I I can't help myself... Miaoyu Tower is not just a small place in front of me. Moreover, my body seems to be healthy, but in fact I have a drug addiction that cannot be eradicated. Now, I can only count on it every three months. Only one pill can survive! Even if I leave here, where can I go? Apart from living with a man, where else can I go? It's the same everywhere? At least now I'm at this height, with relative Free choice.”

Nan Xiao fell silent.

Nan Xiao couldn't guarantee that she would have enough time to eradicate the drug addiction that had an unknown origin and penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

Even if she was lucky enough to get Xiuhong's health with the thousand-year elixir, Nan Xiao would not be able to find a better place for Xiuhong's future.

Nan Xiao could only say with red eyes and choked with sobs: "I'm sorry."

After saying that, regardless of Xiuhong's objection, he took out five spirit-accumulating pills that are effective for cultivators in the other side realm, used his own divine power to activate the effects of the medicine, and injected all the life essence rising from them into Xiuhong's Zhoutian. In the big hole.

Nan Xiao has been refining medicine in Qingya Blessed Land for many years. Although they are all ordinary elixirs that have not reached the spiritual level, Nan Xiao knows a lot about the properties of medicine and the structure of the human body.

Therefore, under the guidance of Nan Xiao's divine power, the life essence of the five spirit-enhancing pills wandered in the beautiful Zhoutian acupoint.

Not long after, the red skin began to turn red, and then a fishy colloid oozed from the body surface.

Nan Xiaomou saw the mountains and rivers rise again, and saw that the Yunling Pill was effective on Xiu Hong's poisonous body, and took out a thousand-year-old elixir from the storage jade bottle.

The moment this thousand-year-old elixir appeared, Nan Xiao immobilized the rolling life essence.

The whole body is like jasper, about half a person's height. The outer leaves are hard, soft and fleshy. It is warm in nature and bitter in taste. It is called agave grass.

Nan Xiao raised his palm and smashed the thousand-year-old elixir aglossus, which was regarded as a treasure by Qingya Blessed Land, to pieces. Nan Xiao's continuous extraction of the delicate meat juice left only a palm-sized water ball.

The life essence contained in it is incomparable to hundreds of bottles of Baicao Liquid and even Baicao Pill.

Because she was worried that Xiuhong's body could not bear the essence of the thousand-year-old elixir, Nan Xiao just turned the spirit essence into living water, which continuously washed Xiuhong's Zhoutian acupuncture point, baptizing all her internal organs, limbs and bones.

It wasn't until the green and shiny spirit water was completely exhausted by baptism that Nan Xiao regained his divine power.

Nan Xiao, who had taken a shortcut to advance to the realm of Shenqiao, now used almost all her divine power except for nailing the ice cone of the life wheel when cleaning Xiuhong's marrow and removing poison.

Even so, the toxins in Xiuhong's body still remain.

The human spine is the dragon.

Toxins are like maggots attached to the bone and are difficult to cure.

Nan Xiao was familiar with the medicinal classics and naturally knew that those toxins had been integrated into Xiu Hong's life.

The efficacy of the thousand-year-old elixir is still low.

If it were the King of Medicine who could resurrect people and heal people's bones, he might be able to cure it.

But it would take at least 10 years for a magical medicine to grow naturally to become the king of medicine.

Once it grows up, it will be a hot spot for all cultivators to compete for.

You know, one plant of Medicine King can extend the life of a practitioner by four to 600 years!

Among mortals, even if they die at the age of [-], they can live four or five times.

With Nan Xiao's current strength, it is undoubtedly a dream to obtain rare treasures like Yao Wang that can be said to be born from the wisdom of Zhong Tian and Earth.

Perhaps, when Nan Xiao needs to practice to a certain level, such as entering the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, which is two levels higher than the Lun Hai Secret Realm, then he can try bone scraping to cure poison.

But now, it's still too late.

Nan Xiao suppressed the bitterness in her heart and the exhaustion in her mind, and said with force, "I thought you had pulled out most of the toxins. I think from now on you won't be in so much pain that you can't sleep every noon."

"This--"

The power of Miaoyu Tower covers almost half of Zhongzhou. Xiuhong has lived here for a long time, and there are some stories. Naturally, it is clear what Nanxiao's actions mean to her.

The toxins and impurities in the body were expelled from the body, and the smelly colloid juice stuck to the clothes. However, Xiuhong did not care about the close touch on her body. Instead, she looked at Nan Xiao complainingly and said in a low voice: "You are so wasteful. !”

Nan Xiao shook his head.

Vote me for peaches, and repay me for plums.

"I don't want to owe you, so take this scroll of medicine. When I was young, I met a bastard who pretended to be a miracle doctor. He claimed that he could help me escape from the mortal world, but in the end his practice went wrong. I took out the money I originally used to redeem my life and gave him a great deal. This book - it is a family heirloom of their lineage. It is useless to leave it to me. I have read it so many times, and I can't help it. I didn’t see anything, but it still made me shed tears! It’s useless to keep it, you-take it away. I don’t want to be harmed by a dead person again..."

Xiuhong turned her back, wiped away the tears that were about to fall from the corners of her eyes, and then raised her head to prevent others from seeing her vulnerability.

After that, she took small steps and moved to the bedside in three shaking steps. While shaking, she said: "But I have a condition! When you become stronger in the future, you can rescue those people like me from the sea of ​​suffering." . But if by that time, they still make the same choice as I did today, please try your best to help them gain more choices..."

Sitting on the red quilt embroidered with mandarin ducks, Xiuhong's voice became softer, as if she felt that her demands were too harsh. She immediately turned her head again, looked at Nan Xiao with red eyes, and said with a forced smile: "Of course, if Ah, if you think this responsibility is too heavy, you can ignore it. As I haven’t said before, as long as you live a good life, I will be happy, really!”

Nan Xiao remained silent and just nodded heavily.

Xiuhong turned around and took out an old silver key from under the pillow. Then she opened the closet and took out a box made of unknown material.

After carefully opening the iron box with a key, what was placed on top was a dense collection of gold and silver treasures.

Xiuhong poured out all the treasures without blinking an eye, and then opened one of the hidden piles.

As soon as the "click" sound was heard, the box split open instantly and a book fell from the gap.

The footers of the old book were curled up, probably because it had been read frequently.

It wasn't until this moment that Xiuhong's eyes showed a little fascination and regret.

After sighing in a low voice, she picked up the old book with a dusty style and curled footers, and solemnly placed it in Nan Xiao's hand.

In the hustle and bustle of the city, loneliness and joy coexist side by side.

Xiuhong's gift of a book made the restless night calm down a little.

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

No matter how Xianxuan emerges from the dust, he will still be a powerful mortal.

There is nothing new under the sun, and there are so many infatuated people in the world.

A peach is reciprocated, and time is a song.

There are many wonderful desires in the world of mortals, but there are few inactions on the green cliff.
