Chapter 15: Miscellaneous Matters on the Road
Out of the Morning Dew Sect, breathing in new air, Chen Tianxi raised his hands high, stretched his waist, and walked back, but he felt something, the corners of his clothes were pinched by two fingers, Xi lowered his head, Chen Tianxi was a little dazed, and then smiled dotingly, "What's wrong?" ”
"That's... Well, can you... Hold hands and walk back. He said in a hurry, his face was a little red, the breeze was blowing, his hair was fluttering lightly in the air, and the morning dawn was also a burst.
"Okay, listen to you." Chen Tianxi took the initiative to take his hand and walked back slowly and leisurely, but he also felt that it was a different taste to look at the scenery and walk back.
"Brother Chen, I'm not very weak, I can't beat that Mo family..."Xi said suddenly.
"How is it possible, he is only a high realm, and he is also a cultivator, and it is also his common thing to kill people beyond the ranks, so he is different from ordinary people, Xi is completely a realm gap, and he has less actual combat experience, and there is no difference between strength and weakness, so there is no need to be discouraged." Chen Tianxi touched his head and said with a smile.
"Ahem, that, master, let me interject, the hostess can rely on the master's blood to improve her strength because of her special physique, and the master has been baptized by the ring, so the master's blood is stronger than the heaven and earth aura of this world, so you can let the hostess absorb more of the master's blood." The jack-of-all-trades popped up out of nowhere, not intentionally disturbing the two, but simply giving a little advice.
"Is there such a thing? Let's try it later, let's go back first, what the hell is the hostess......" Chen Tianxi slowly thought about the meaning of the hostess.
The Xi next to him blushed and didn't speak, and the hostess, a jack-of-all-trades, turned around and said that the two had .........
This area is desolate, there are yellow leaves falling in the air, many trees have no turquoise vitality, only desolate yellow leaves, the bleak breeze blows, the two walked for a long time, only to find a slightly dilapidated house, outside the door stood a wooden pole, on which were written "soup noodles" two big characters.
The two saw that there was really no good place to go next to them, so they walked towards the noodle soup restaurant, entered the door, and greeted the two of them by a little girl who was not very neatly dressed.
"What do you want to eat? We have chicken noodle soup, mutton noodle soup, pork noodle soup, ........." the little girl introduced colorfully, "It is guaranteed to be fresh ingredients, you can rest assured, although there is this shabby here, but the hygiene can still be guaranteed." ”
Looking at the little girl's clear smile and two small dimples floating on her face, it was hard for Chen Tianxi to imagine what kind of state of mind this could be so innocent.
"Then let's have the chicken, two." There are also one or two tables of guests next to him, talking and laughing, eating dishes, and Chen Tianxi will order them at will.
"Okay." The little girl jumped away and shouted to the back, "Two bowls of chicken noodle soup!" Then he brought a jar of drink, "This is our own rice wine, it's free, just wait a while." ”
"Life is not bad, I have such a happy smile every day." Chen Tianxi thought to himself.
After a while, a female voice came from behind, "Xiao Han, okay, take it over, be careful of the burn." ”
"Okay." From the voice, the little girl's nickname should be called Xiaohan, although Xiaohan has small hands, but it is not a problem to hold a bowl in one hand, and she is not afraid of being hot, she should have exercised since she was a child, and after a while, it was served, "slow use~"
A small room, where three tables of guests are laughing and eating, Xiao Han is also looking at a relatively shabby book at the counter, looking at it with relish, and then gesturing from time to time, which is particularly warm.
"Stomp, stomp..."
At this time, there was a sound of horses' hooves outside the door, and when they heard the sound, the other two tables of guests hurriedly ran out, one table put the silver coins on the table, and the other table ran directly, Xiao Han's face sank, but looking at Chen Tianxi, who was still indifferent, he ran over in a panic.
"Two brothers and sisters, go quickly, you won't collect the money, and if you don't leave, it'll be too late." Xiao Han pulled Chen Tianxi and wanted the two to leave.
"........." Chen Tianxi was eating and was stunned by this, unmoved, and two middle-aged men and women came out of the back kitchen, and they hurriedly persuaded the two to leave.
"What's wrong?" Chen Tianxi put down his chopsticks, puzzled.
"Oh, if you don't collect money, you won't leave, it's too late...... Ahhh Xiao Han scratched his head and scratched his cheeks, obviously angry.
Soon, the wooden door was kicked open, and a topless fat man walked in, "Protection money, fifty gold coins, hand it over quickly!" ”
The middle-aged woman stepped forward tremblingly, "Big brother, there are really not so many this month, only more than thirty, which is our life-saving money." ”
"No matter how much you have, if you don't have any money, let's tear down the store, hey, there are still two raw faces, this chick is not bad." The fat man roared, but when he caught a glimpse of Xi, his tone dropped significantly, revealing a sinister smile.
"Count Lao Tzu lucky, you three hurry up, don't disturb Lao Tzu to deal with business." The fat man then walked in the direction of the morning sky.
"No, they are guests, you can't do this, I'll give you gold coins, I'll pay off my most precious debt, and we'll pay back the gold coins slowly." Xiao Han stopped the fat man and took out the book he was reading just now.
"Didn't you hear? Get out of here! The fat man didn't even look at it, and just shook his hand and threw the book out a few meters away, and Xiao Han was also thrown down.
"Xiao Han, Xiao Han ,......" The middle-aged man and woman hurriedly stepped forward and rubbed the sore place, "We don't want the store, you let them go, we will leave tomorrow." The middle-aged woman seemed helpless and said with a cry.
"Cut, I'll clean you up later." The fat man ignored a few of them and continued to walk on his own. However, Xiao Han instantly broke free of his embrace and ran to Xi, "I have nothing to do with them... It doesn't matter, how do you first... Step over me first... My corpse. ”
"Xiaohan, don't make trouble!" As soon as the middle-aged woman finished speaking, her eyes turned black and she fell backwards, and the man next to her hurriedly supported her when she saw this, "Yan'er!" ”
Chen Tianxi looked at Xiao Han who was crying, and didn't know why he stood up because he was afraid, but he also felt a warmth, looked at Xi, and gestured with his eyes.
Xi Lingyi, stood up, walked towards the fat man, and the fat man also smiled happily, "The one who knows the times is Junjie, this is right, come on, come on..."
"Poof!" It happened completely in an instant, and the fat man was already approached before he could see clearly, and then he bowed and flew out upside down like a cannonball, and the wooden door was shaken to pieces.
The fat man clutched his stomach, "Poof." Spit blood, the internal organs and bones were almost all broken, and he looked at Xi in horror and came over in an instant, "You... You know... I... I am... Who is it..."
"I don't know, but it's time for you to see Lord Hades." Xi replied lightly, slowly raised his foot, and fell on the fat man's face, "Snort" I don't know how much force it used, the fat man's whole head was trampled on, and his brains burst into a bunch of ............
This scene was all seen by the middle-aged man and Xiao Han, who were so stunned that they were happy and frightened, squatted down, took away the storage ring, and returned to the house.
"That, Xiao Han, right? We'll pay for the door, rest assured. Chen Tianxi seemed to stay out of the matter and said indifferently.
"Ah...... Yes? Yes! This sister is so powerful..."Xiao Han didn't seem to hear it, his eyes lit up and he looked at Xi, and hurriedly pulled Xi to sit down and chat.
The middle-aged man came to Chen Tianxi and sat down, "Young man, although I don't know where you are from as a martial artist, but I am afraid that you are going to be targeted, that fat man is the brother of a disciple of Chenyou Sect...... That disciple was especially kind to him, and his senior brother was even more terrifying inner disciple. ”
"Oh? Is it? I don't know. Chen Tianxi replied.
"Hey... If his brother sees that he hasn't gone back after a while, maybe he'll come, one of the three major sects, you guys go quickly. ”
"Daddy, you haven't seen my sister so powerful, whoever comes, my sister can fly with one punch." Xiao Han rubbed his arm and swung a punch, as if imitating the action just now.
"Don't mess around, if it weren't for them, you would have had an accident just now, what should you do with Daddy." The middle-aged man hugged Xiao Han as if he was sad.
"Well, do they have a base? Collect protection money for these people. Chen Tianxi got up and asked.
"Ah, yes, there is a small room in a desolate forest of dead wood in the north, and they are there, and I have heard them mention it, and I don't know if it is true or not." The man thought for a moment and said.
"Xiao Han, wait here for my brother, my brother will come back in a while, Xi, you stay, in case someone comes." Chen Tianxi decided to take a look, but she didn't worry about it.
"Well, Brother Chen, stay safe." This time I didn't show any unhappiness, after all, it was important not to play a small temper.
Chen Tianxi came to the Forest of Dead Wood as the middle-aged man said, and gradually deepened, the aura opened to explore, and after a while, he opened his eyes and smiled slightly.
At this time, a man in the small room paced, "Why hasn't this guy come back yet?" ”
There were other people in the room, all of them were small followers, but they also all had the sixfold realm of the Star Realm, and the man was also the peak of the Star Realm, looking at the time, he yelled, "If you don't come back, you won't be allowed to enter the Morning Shadow Sect!" ”
"Oh? He can't come back, so there's no need to wait. Chen Tianxi slowly appeared in the room, looking at the field with a wicked smile. The others were all startled in an instant, and they took up arms.
Chen Tianxi didn't give them a chance to resist, his right hand dragged, a piece of ice floated in the palm of his hand, smiled slightly, and smashed it to the ground, in an instant, a cold breath emanated, and in a blink of an eye, it spread all over the room, and the entire ground spread outward with Chen Tianxi's palm, freezing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Ahhh What is it? "A few minions tried to escape, but the speed was no match for the speed of freezing, and in the blink of an eye, they were all frozen. Only the man in the center remains.
"Who are you?" The man's deep gaze looked at Chen Tianxi, and the hand holding the weapon trembled a little.
"Passers-by." Chen Tianxi replied simply.
"Look at the move!" The man didn't want to speak anymore, so he directly raised his sword and stabbed at Chen Tianxi, and the aura around him was fierce, piercing the cold wind in the air.
"Ding." I saw the long sword stabbed in the center of Chen Tianxi's hand, making a jingling sound, and if you looked closely, you could find that Chen Tianxi's palm condensed a little ice element, Chen Tianxi's palm pushed forward, and the tip of the long sword instantly froze, and in a blink of an eye, it had reached the hilt of the sword, and the man hurriedly let go and jumped away.
"Oh? Want to escape? Chen Tianxi stomped his right foot, and the ice on the ground seemed to come to life, condensing into ice spikes one by one, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of ice spikes pointed at the man, "Sneer." ”
The man gave up resistance in despair, and his eyes widened until he died, and he couldn't believe it, "Dong"
His body was covered with ice thorns, covered in blood, and thick blood came out of the blood holes on his face, gradually burying his entire face, unable to see his face clearly, and falling in a pool of blood, Chen Tianxi shook his head and paced away.
"Jack-of-all-trades, information." Chentianxi chatted with the know-it-all while walking.
"Li Lei, the outer disciple of the Chenyou Sect, is dispensable to the Chenyou Sect, it should not be taken seriously by the Chenyou Sect, if he dies, he will die, and that noodle restaurant should be able to operate normally." Jack-of-all-trades popped up and said.
The desolate forest, the desolate room, no one knows what is happening here, and the smell of blood gradually attracts some monsters and beasts, gnawing on the corpses.
Gradually, Chen Tianxi's figure appeared, Xi hurriedly stepped forward, took hands and went back together, the middle-aged woman had woken up, and the three of them bowed to Chen Tianxi gratefully, "I really don't know how to thank you, if you don't dislike the cold house, we will go to prepare to eat, you didn't eat well just now." The middle-aged woman said with a light smile.
"That's troublesome, don't be thankful." Chen Tianxi sat down, the table next to him had been cleaned up, and he looked around carefully, although it was simple, but there was really a warm feeling, "Xiaohan, I see that you attach so much importance to that book, can I read it?" ”
Chen Tianxi saw that Xiao Han seemed to never leave the tattered book, so he was a little puzzled, and the latter also sighed, "Of course you can." ”
Books are worn, and it is normal to have missing corners and pages, but the cover can clearly see what kind of book this is, "Qi Refining Technique"
"Have you been learning about condensing aura from this book? It's not that my brother is bad, some people have different physiques and soar into the sky, and some people can't become martial arts cultivators no matter what, Xiao Han's physique should be exercised from an early age, barely stronger than his peers, but stepping into martial arts cultivation is a bit unrealistic. Chen Tianxi said slowly, obviously noticing Xiao Han's lonely expression.
"Really... Xiao Han lowered his head with tears in his eyes, and his father next to him hurriedly stepped forward to comfort, "Xiao Han has always been our baby, it's good to live happily, nothing is more important than Xiao Han's safety." ”
"But I also want to be as powerful as Sister Xi, so I can protect my father." Xiao Han took the book back, looked through the worn-out qi refining recipe aggrievedly, and said.
"Brother Chen, is there any way? I feel so distressed..."Xi was a little unbearable, muttering to Chentianxi.
Chen Tianxi slowly stepped forward and touched Xiao Han's head, "Xiao Han should know that with ability comes an obligation, and if you get something equivalent, you have to pay an equivalent price, and martial arts are in danger all the time, do you also want to become a martial artist?" ”
"Surely, isn't it even more incapable of being the target of others' teasing? Only when you have the ability can you protect your family and protect yourself, and I have never given up since I was a child, I will not give up......" Xiao Han said more and more in her voice, because she didn't know if she could become a martial artist.
At this time, the middle-aged woman had already prepared the meal and brought it out, and looked at everyone with a smile, "The little craftsmanship is not a respect, thank you two for coming to the rescue today, it's troublesome, I'm Lin Yan, you can just call me Aunt Lin." "Then I helped set up the tableware, really took care of people, and made Chen Tianxi feel a little bit of a mother's taste.
"You're welcome, we also like Xiaohan, and it's also us who have caused you to be tired."
"Oh, it's important to eat, it's important to eat, don't be involved." Xiao Han served vegetables for Chen Tianxi and a few people, but the sadness in the corners of his eyes was perfectly concealed.
At the end of a meal, Chen Tianxi took out a pill and made it into the shape of a jelly bean, and gently stuffed it into Xiao Han's mouth, "Life must always be a little sweet." ”
A few bean-sized tears slowly appeared in the corners of Xiao Han's eyes, and he didn't know if he felt that it was troublesome to eat candy and talk or why he didn't speak, when he looked at the smiling Chen Tianxi, he unconsciously felt dizzy, slowly closed his eyes, and fell into Chen Tianxi's arms.
"Aunt Lin, when Xiao Han wakes up and gives this to her, Xiao Han just sleeps for a while, don't worry." Chen Tianxi gave Xiao Han to Lin Yan's arms, handed over a storage ring, and waved his hand, "We'll go back." ”
"Thank you, thank you." Although they didn't know what was inside, they could feel their concern for Xiao Han.
The sky outside the door was slightly yellow, the sunset set off the yellow leaves around them even more yellow, and the cool breeze was blowing, and the two of them felt all this on the road.
"What did Brother Chen put on that ring?" He winked playfully.
"Some star stones, a sword of the same size, give it to her as a small gift for stepping into martial arts~" Chen Tianxi said with a smile.
"Huh? I haven't ...... yet" Xi felt that he didn't have such a good treatment, and strangers gave gifts on the first day.
“…… Yes? Ah yes, Xi's weapon was shattered, ahhaha, I forgot, it's okay, Xi is so powerful, he will definitely get a better weapon. Chen Tianxi remembered the scene where Xi's weapon was smashed by Mo Guxu's sword before, and it was also too graded.
“…… I only need Brother Chen's gift. Xi said in a low voice.
"Okay, okay, give it, don't worry, let's go back first." Chen Tianxi took Xi's hand and rushed back.
