Chapter 35

###35 Pay off debts

In the blink of an eye, it’s been half a month since we arrived at Qixia Mountain, and the mountain flowers are in full bloom. The delicate pink peach blossoms, the begonias faded by the night rain, the purple and faint yellows that dot the mountains and forests like bright lights during the day, and various flowers and grasses whose names I don’t know. , trees, wood, and the fragrance of flowers drifting into Guize Pavilion when the mountain wind blows.

This place may be the place where the outstanding people are said in the book. If you study and practice here, you will soon be able to increase your cultivation base.It's just that if you don't get paid for nothing, how can scholars occupy other people's residences for nothing, wear other people's clothes, and eat other people's meals.

But how can we get silver taels?Xiaoyu was also at a loss, unable to do anything.

There was something else that made her uneasy, and there was always an unspeakable sadness in her chest. Whenever she felt uncomfortable, she would put Xiuguang under her palms, and when the heat of Xiuguang was slowly released from her palms into her whole body, her mood would calm down. .

What a treasure.This thing is probably priceless.How could that stingy poster give it to me so easily?Could it be that this jade pendant is just an ordinary thing, and there are many mirrors in the building?Thinking of this, Xiaoyu nodded obediently, that must be the case.

When Ye Ling approached, Xiaoyu was covering her eyes in a daze. Ye Ling saw that she didn't look as diligent and hardworking as the poster said, so he couldn't help but said: "Why don't you study hard? If you don't study, come out and do it for me." Live."

Although studying is good, it may be a rare opportunity to go out for a walk. Xiaoyu just thought about it and nodded in agreement, but suddenly thought of Ye Xiaolou's indifferent and calm face and his stern eyes.Then he replied, "No."

"Where is your Danggui Ze Pavilion? How many scholars want to come here to borrow a book for a while, and wander at the foot of the mountain for several days, but finally dare not go up the mountain. It would be better for you, neither reading nor practicing calligraphy here, sitting in a daze, since So you can come out and follow me to the North Peak to pick some herbs."

"Picking herbs? Up to the top of the mountain?"

Ye Ling frowned, "You don't want to climb the mountain?"

"Yes, yes, of course I am willing, but the host said that I can't leave Guize Pavilion at will. I wasn't lazy just now, I just felt uncomfortable in my heart. I think it was because this room had been stuffy for a long time and my breath was not smooth. Why don't I go ask the poster for permission, and if he agrees, I will go pick herbs with my sister, what do you think?"

Ye Ling intuitively felt that Xiaoyu was cheating, so she danced her long sleeves, and the book in front of Xiaoyu instantly opened like a seashell.He was startled, and looked at Ye Ling again. He could see clearly the rippling blue water, the graceful moonlight, and his enviable appearance. Why is he so strict? Why are the people on this land so strict?

"Sister, why is this happening? But because of my interruption for many days, I owe a lot of debts. I just want to find a way to pay them back." Xiaoyu Xunran complained.

"debt?"

"Hmm, Qixia Mountain is so big and Mirror Tower is so beautiful. It must cost a lot of money to take care of it every day. I don't do anything here, so naturally I owe you a lot of money. I think about it every day. Why should I pay back these coins? I couldn't have been upset just thinking about this, and my sister wouldn't have noticed that I wasn't concentrating on studying. My sister shouldn't blame the young master. I really love these books and wish I could hide one and take it back to my room. It’s definitely not like my sister thinks, just lazy and dazed. Sister, you are well-informed, can you tell me where I can find silver coins?”

Her eyes were exquisite and clear, and she was telling the truth, but Ye Ling was a little confused. Is this girl really worried about the silver?His mind changed and he said with a smile, "As for silver, Liuyuan Village is the richest in the world. It is said that no one in the world knows how much gold and silver treasures Liuyuan Village has except the owner himself."

Xiaoyu silently wrote down - Liuyuan Village.

"But there is another place where there is countless gold and silver, as well as all kinds of rare and exotic treasures, and that is the palace."

"Imperial Palace?" This place sounded so familiar. Xiaoyu lowered her head and thought, wasn't this the palace where she met the young master for the first time?That place is indeed magnificent with its carved beams and painted buildings, its clear pools gilded with gold, and its colorful embroidery.It is somewhat similar to the Qiongling Palace in Wancheng, except that the Qiongling Palace is surrounded by mist and water, with Pittosporum as pillars, Ziyunshan and gentle wind, and it has the aura of Kunlun Heavenly Palace. "Can you find silver coins there?"

"That's natural." Ye Ling replied.

"How to get to the palace?"

Seeing Xiaoyu's serious look, Ye Ling suddenly had a thought in his mind, and said half hesitantly and half seriously, "Go down to Qixia Mountain and enter Jinling City. If you ask any passerby, they will tell you the location of the palace."

"It sounds very easy." Xiaoyu felt happy and begged: "Then I won't pick vanilla. I will go to the palace to find some silver coins, so that I can pay off the debt I owe the young master. He doesn't have to work so hard and can do more. I studied music and annotated books in Guize Pavilion."

Hearing Xiaoyu's words, Yeling was both surprised and happy, thinking that you stayed here and didn't study, and made the landlord be punished by his wife to kneel down. Since you are leaving, why don't I give you a ride.

"Do you really want to go to the palace?"

Xiaoyu said cleverly, "I'm going, I'll go right away."

"There's no rush. I'll take you down the mountain after lunch. You won't be able to leave the boundary of Qixia Mountain with your Apparition Technique."

"Shadow-changing technique?" Yeling was talking about the young master's daily journey?That spell is so profound, of course I don't understand it.Modestly said: "I don't know any apparition technique at all, I can only walk on two legs."

He lifted up his clothes and looked at his legs. They were really ugly. He was really not used to being without Ling Longjing.Looking at Ye Ling's feet again, he sighed secretly. No wonder they had to cover them up with clothes. There was really no sense of beauty. People on the land all looked the same. Two boring sticks of water and stone could only be used to train weapons. .If it were decorated with silver grass, it might be more beautiful, but it doesn't seem to be suitable for the way mainlanders walk.

"Then how did you go to Tianchi with the poster?"

Ye Ling suddenly asked about Tianchi, which really put Xiaoyu in a daze. "Young Master took me to Tianchi. I originally said it would take three to five days to reach Tianchi, but later I arrived in only half a day."

"That is the Appearance Technique. The original poster's Appearance Appearance Technique is different from ordinary people. The speed and distance are a hundred times stronger than ordinary techniques."

"Isn't it true that you can travel thousands of miles in a day?" Xiaoyu actually doesn't think this technique is very clever. Master Jing taught her the technique of using water to change direction once and she mastered it. This is probably the only thing she has learned better than Everyone needs a quick spell.Just thinking of the figure of the people on land, it is not easy to change positions quickly.

So he put his hands together respectfully and said: "The host is really an extraordinary person. I have the honor to stay in Qixia Mountain for many days. I am extremely honored and honored."

This statement was true, and Ye Ling was filled with pride. He raised his chin slightly, his cheeks glowed, and his expression was bright.
