The female supporting role is dedicated to cultivating immortality

Chapter 138 A big tree attracts the wind and shakes the tree

In Pei Ruxi's previous life, a literary giant once said: "Human beings' joys and sorrows are not the same."

Pei Xiangrong sympathized with Xiao Long, who lost his husband. This did not prevent him from thinking that Pei Jinfan deserved to die, nor did it prevent him from inviting Pei Ruxi, Liang Jianan and his daughter to the Zhenyu Mei Restaurant to enjoy music.

Although Luoxia City is small, there are several resident theater troupes. The monks are the audience, and the mortals are also the audience.If you are tired of the performances of local theater troupes, you can choose from the foreign theater troupes that come in turns like a revolving lantern. Occasionally, there are wandering artists who are not attached to the theater troupes.

During every year and festival, the Pei family would invite opera troupes to perform.Pei Ruxi had been a spectator before and felt that it was okay, but it was not worth a special trip to the Zhenmei Restaurant to enjoy it.Since Liang Jianan was interested, Pei Xiangrong was looking forward to it. She sat in the position with the best viewing angle with a little curiosity.

The Zhen Cuisine Restaurant itself has a stage. When guests in the private rooms open the windows, they can see the newly decorated stage and hear the sounds on the stage.

At this moment, the sound of the piano floated, and a young man from Qing Dynasty wearing a high crown played the piano on the stage.Clothes as white as snow, long hair as black as ink, wide robe and big sleeves, looking at his aura, he is clearly a Foundation Establishment monk.

However, people's bodies and minds are captured by the sound of the piano, and they listen quietly, reluctant to distract their precious attention.

In the private room, Liang Jianan, who had the lowest level of cultivation and the weakest will, looked in a daze, and the sound of the piano dug out the past that he had deliberately forgotten.Pei Xiangrong showed an moved expression, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head, thoughts surging in his eyes.Even Pei Ruxi, his mind was immersed in the pleasant sound of the piano, forgetting where he was and what he wanted to do.

The young man playing the piano strummed the seven strings and looked at Pei Ruxi's family of three behind the window. A smile appeared on his lips, feeling proud of his musical attainments.

Look, Pei Ruxi was infected by the music he played and was fascinated by it.

You can tell whether the person playing the music is attentive or not. As the sound of the piano changes, Pei Ruxi sighs, feeling sorry for the player's distraction.

Her sigh was very soft, but the young man on the stage heard it clearly and his face turned red.

He took a deep breath to get rid of the inappropriate pride in his heart, pressed his fingers on the strings, and the sound suddenly stopped.

People regretted that the sound of the piano was interrupted, and they sighed one after another, complaining that the young man interrupted their enjoyment of the music.

The next moment, the light and lively sound of the piano sounded.

This is music played with heart, and people have no time to express anything and are captured again.

Pei Ruxi didn't know how to play the piano. Listening to the young man's performance, he couldn't find the touch he had just now.Looking at the pastries presented by the waiter, she picked up a piece of lotus root powder and sweet-scented osmanthus cake and put it into her mouth. She tasted the extraordinary deliciousness on the tip of her tongue and her eyes lit up.

tasty!Be sure to eat a few more pieces!

The music that was filled with all the emotions ended, and the boy felt like he was fighting a battle with an equally matched opponent. His body was tired but his spirit was high.He took out his handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his face, looked at her, and found that there were several empty plates in front of her, and she had eaten all the pastries.

The young man walked off the stage holding the Yaoqin in a daze, thinking: Could the music I played with all my heart be inferior to the cakes?

Someone praised him: "Uncle Master, your piano sound is so contagious, have you already become a Taoist?"

The young man is the true disciple of the master of Tianyin Valley. Tianyin Valley is one of the four sects on the east side of the Luoxia Mountains. Two-thirds of the disciples in the sect are Le Dao monks.The Tao of music pays attention to the world. The young man followed the troupe to the Luoxia Mountains and watched the world. As expected, he replenished his mood and succeeded in building the foundation.

When asked if he had become a Taoist, Xu Shao calmed down and said, "I am still far away from becoming a Taoist." Thinking of the pastries that Pei Ruxi had eaten, he told the other party, "I want to try the pastries that Pei Ruxi just ate."

At the same time, Pei Ruxi was asking the waiter to serve some more dishes of pastries.

"Please wait a moment." The handsome waiter from Zhen Cuisine Restaurant smiled politely, "The kitchen is making pastries, please be patient."

"Okay." Pei Ruxi was willing to wait for the food. The pastry was delicious, and eating one piece was equivalent to concentrating on practicing for a whole day and night, which was not bad compared to elixirs.She asked, "When did you get a new pastry chef?"

"The pastry maker is the owner, not the master." The waiter said, "Our owner's surname is Qi, Tao Boyan. The last time he came to Luoxia City was 36 years ago."

Qi Boyan?
Pei Ruxi, one of the Jindan monks who knew the Luoxia Mountains, asked curiously: "Is your boss the master of Hexia Gongqi?"

The man smiled and said nothing and acquiesced.

The waiter walked into the clean kitchen and respectfully saluted the busy woman: "Master, Miss Pei also wants to eat pastries, and Mr. Xu also wants to taste the pastries you made."

The woman is wearing a simple slanted top, her hair is tied into a bun, her sleeves are rolled up to reveal her forearms, and she is kneading dough.The man was attracted by her rhythmic movements and was intoxicated for a while, trying to figure out the mystery.

After kneading the dough, the woman took the next step slowly and said, "How did Pei Ruxi react?"

The guy woke up with a start and said quickly, "It's very common."

Pei Ruxi only cares about whether the pastry is delicious, not who makes the pastry.

The waiter brought the pastries into the private room. In addition to the freshly made pastries, there were also ten golden carp orders on the tray.

These ten carp tokens can be used repeatedly. As long as the Dragon Gate secret realm does not collapse, the golden carp token is the key to entering the secret realm.The ordinary carp order that Pei Ruxi received can only be used once. Next time he wants to enter the Dragon Gate Secret Realm, he will need to find a new carp order.

Not being rewarded for his meritorious service, Pei Ruxi said, "What does Master Qi need from me?"

The guy said: "The real person thinks highly of you and hopes you will be stronger than you are now."

Pei Ruxi understood, accepted the ten carp order, and asked the clerk to convey her gratitude.

The waiter stepped back and Pei Ruxi's eyes fell on Pei Xiangrong: "Dad, are you going to the Dragon Gate Secret Realm?"

Monks with cultivation levels below the Golden Core Stage can go to the Dragon Gate Secret Realm for training. Pei Xiangrong went to the Dragon Gate Secret Realm once and replied: "There are rare birds and animals and rare rare spiritual herbs in the Secret Realm. Naturally, I want to go. But now I He is the clan leader, what will the clan do if something happens to him?"

A big drama is about to be staged on the stage. The content is about a group of monks with different strengths engaging in a wonderful struggle around an orb. There are fighting scenes and literary dramas, and each character does his best.In the end, the orb does not belong to the most powerful person, nor does it belong to the smartest person, but is obtained by the most inconspicuous person.

At the end of the play, Pei Ruxi was thoughtful.

What she did seemed too flamboyant.

A big tree attracts the wind and shakes the tree, and people with high reputations lose their lives [Note ①].Today Qi Boyan is showing kindness, but tomorrow someone may hate her and have thoughts of killing her.

However, publicity can easily cause trouble, so why not be regarded as a soft persimmon if you keep a low profile?

Pei Ruxi didn't like the ending of the play, but the play was still well performed.She rewarded the actor with a medium-grade spiritual stone and went shopping with her father and mother-in-law.

The spirit of the new year has not yet dissipated, red lanterns are hung everywhere in Jinfang, creating a strong festive atmosphere.Pei Ruxi didn't like shopping at street stalls, but Pei Xiangrong and Liang Jianan didn't find it annoying and enjoyed the shopping. From time to time, they picked up something and asked Pei Ruxi what he thought.

"No opinion." Pei Rushi said, "If you like it, just pay for it."

"Boring." Pei Xiangrong said.

He showed Liang Jianan an earring inlaid with an unknown gemstone and said, "This is beautiful. You can buy it."

Liang Jianan looked at him meaningfully and whispered in a low voice: "Why don't you spend money to buy it yourself? Husband, other people's opinions are changing all the time. You hide it and don't dare to show your true preferences. You must be aggrieved." .”

Pei Xiangrong struggled very much, thought twice, and reluctantly put down the exotic-style earrings.

A male cultivator in bright clothes knelt down, picked up the earrings that Pei Xiangrong had put down, and asked the stall owner how to sell them.

Stall owner: "This is the only pair of earrings. Give me three spiritual stones and you can take them away." The male cultivator was about to try on the earrings, but before he put them on, a threatening look came from the side and he slapped Shivering, he looked at Pei Xiangrong stiffly and said in a trembling voice, "Senior?"

Pei Xiangrong said nothing, his eyes were cold.

The male cultivator flinched, put down his earrings, and quickly moved away.

The earrings were lying in a box covered with red velvet. Pei Xiangrong wanted to reach out but was afraid of face, so he shrank. Pei Ruxi, who was watching, clicked his tongue.

Liang Jianan picked up the earrings and said, "Xixi, don't mock your father."

She held one of Pei Xiangrong's shoulders, stood up on tiptoes and used magic to fix the earrings on his earlobes, and said, "Husband, I'm not complimenting you, but you actually look good wearing these earrings."

"Didn't you mean to lie to me?" The earrings were heavy. Pei Xiangrong shook his head uncomfortably, and the earrings swayed slightly with the rhythm of his head shaking.He put up a water mirror to see himself wearing earrings, but unexpectedly, the mirror reflected a transparent shadow that appeared beside him at an unknown time.

Liu Lanzhi shows up again!
She was smiling in the mirror and said, "Husband, don't wear these earrings. You look very much like a woman when you wear earrings."

Pei Xiangrong seemed to see flies, cockroaches, and mice, silently reciting Taoist scriptures to suppress evil spirits.

"Xixi, pay for me." Perhaps because of Liu Lanzhi's stimulation, Pei Xiangrong didn't want to suppress his preference.He is impeccably handsome and looks good with light makeup or heavy makeup. Those who laugh at him must be jealous of him.

After visiting Jinfang and then walking back to Zi Street, Pei Xiangrong gained a lot of things. Liang Jianan bought a rusty small tripod at a high price. Pei Ruxi did not buy anything, and was given a set of ten items by his father and mother. Two exquisite dolls.

In the spacious cave with rich aura, Pei Ruxi put the twelve dolls together with the three dolls given by Liang Jianan.Twelve dolls cannot run, but are pushed down by three flexible dolls and used as seats.

Is the doll made by grandma jealous?

Pei Ruxi, dumbfounded, took the three dolls away and hit them on the head one by one: "Don't bully other dolls."

The dolls made faces at her, and she put the twelve dolls into separate crystal boxes as decorations, letting the three dolls run around in the cave.Laying out a blank piece of talisman paper, Pei Ruxi ignored the movement made by the doll and drew the talisman with an eyebrow.

The clan lacked the knowledge of talismans she needed. She deduced the painting method based on the talismans bought by Zhenbaolou and copied the talismans recorded in "The Supreme Good is Like Water", but she vaguely hit the bottleneck that was difficult to improve.Uncle Pei Ba couldn't give her any advice, so he suggested that she discuss it with other talisman masters, who might be able to get some inspiration.

There is no second-level talisman master in Luoxia City.

The third-level sword talisman made by Li Yao is to seal the sword energy in the talisman paper. The method is simple and crude, with no skills at all. It is impossible to discuss the talisman with her.

After drawing a talisman, Pei Ruxi dusted off the talisman paper and opened a book about formations.

……

……

Su Qingrong sneaked into the Su family's ancestral house with Feitong's help, put down her family letters, and left secretly.When passing by Jinfang, she suddenly decided to have a meal at the Zhen Cuisine Restaurant.

Xu Shao was playing the piano on the stage, and she listened with her cheeks propped up. Halfway through, she whispered to Feitong: "In my previous life, Xu Shao asked the music saint to teach him how to play the piano. The music saint refused because he was not suitable for music. Guess what happened next?"

Feitong guessed: "He gave up on music?"

Su Qingrong chuckled: "I don't know if he gave up on music or gave up on himself. I used to like listening to him playing the piano. But when the Music Saint denied his talent in music, his piano sound became extremely unpleasant."

"That's a dream." Feitong said, "Your dream is just a possibility for the future."

"I know, I'm just telling you an interesting story..." Su Qingrong was a little nervous and lowered her propped up hand, "Is Xu Shao looking at me?"

Another guy who doesn't listen to his piano playing seriously. Is the music he plays really that bad?

Thinking of the pastries Pei Ruxi had eaten and the delicious pastries he had tasted, Xu Shao stood up and walked towards Su Qingrong.The Yao Qin behind him was playing automatically. He looked at Su Qingrong and said, "You seem to know how to play the Qin. Why don't you go up and play a piece?"

Su Qingrong knew that he was looking for trouble, so she waved her hand and said, "I can't!"

Xu Shao: "It's okay, go up and play a song."

Relying on his higher cultivation level than Su Qingrong, Xu Shao picked her up and put her in the position of playing the piano. He stood aside with his hands folded and urged: "Don't be stunned, play the piano."

Su Qingrong grimaced and said angrily: "I told you I can't play the piano, can't you hear me?"

Xu Shao chuckled: "You can hear me." He bent down and told Su Qingrong, "Little girl, your true face cannot be seen in the light, right?"

"You!" Su Qingrong's eyes narrowed and she wanted to punch Xu Shao Qingjun in the face.

"Haha, you can't beat me." Xu Shao's tone was extremely unbeatable.

Su Qing tolerated it again and again, and played a nursery rhyme.

She was not a music monk, so her music was mediocre and the audience was dissatisfied.

Because Xu Shao was by their side, they endured it silently.

Qi Boyan, who happened to come to the hall, had a displeased look on his face and said, "Xu Xiaoyou, this is my restaurant." Looking at Su Qingrong who was forced to play the piano, "I'm sorry, you don't have to pay to eat here today."

Su Qingrong thanked Qi Boyan.

Returning to the Pei family's ancestral home, she went straight to Pei Ruxi to complain: "Miss Pei, Xu Shao bullied me!"

Pei Ruxi read the book and said without raising his head: "If you are bullied, if you can't stand it, just fight back."

Call back?Xu Shao is a foundation-building monk, and she is at the eleventh level of Qi refining. There is a huge gap in strength. How to fight?
Su Qingrong still wanted to ask for advice, but Feitong said in her mind: "You have the talisman, and you can beat even the Nascent Soul cultivator, let alone Xu Shao."

So Su Qingrong happily went to the Zhen Cuisine Restaurant, showed her talisman, beat Xu Shao all over his head, stepped on his back and said, "Do you know you have taught me a lesson? I am not someone you can afford to offend!"

Xu Shao's handsome face was pressed to the ground, his mood was ten times more embarrassing than when Su Qingrong was playing the piano, and he was very unconvinced: "If you have the ability, don't bully me with powerful talismans!"

Su Qingrong chuckled: "I have no ability. I just use the talisman to bully you. What can you do?" She let go of her feet and said, "The feeling of being bullied is terrible. You have experienced it. Stop bullying others."

"I'm just teasing you, you are serious." Xu Shao jumped up and ran far away. While alerting Su Qingrong, he dusted himself off and said half-truthfully, "I haven't touched a hair on your head." , you hit me, please apologize."

"Okay." Su Qingrong thought for a while and felt that he was justified, so she apologized seriously.

Xu Shao didn't expect that she would actually apologize to him, and thought to herself: Could this be a stupid girl?

At this time, there was a soft sound. He and Su Qingrong looked and saw that the window of a private room was pushed open.

Su Qinghan was sitting inside the window, and the person who pushed the window open was Su Ci. They heard Su Qingrong's voice and looked at her with suspicion as she was so disguised that they couldn't recognize her true appearance.
