Chapter 183: Glazed Heart Stone
"The guy who forgets his friends, just remember to invite other girls to have breakfast, and forget about me, the same roommate, you can really ......do it" Luo Yin looked at Xiao Bai's nervous appearance, and couldn't help but think of his past, and then laughed.
Xiao Bai heard this, and said embarrassedly: "I wanted to go to the water girl to say something just now, but when the door opened, a beautiful girl I didn't know came out, and I was so scared that I forgot to say anything......"
"Do you want to get up and say something?"
"Uh, forgot ......"
Luo Yin rolled his eyes and secretly said that this kid was finished, and he had completely fallen. But it's no wonder that a twenty-year-old boy is a normal thing, isn't it?
"Don't worry, I think other girls have a good impression of you?"
Xiao Baixi said: "Really?
Luo Yin said: "The first time you met with others, you let the room, and then staged a classic scene of heroes saving beauty, and directly brushed the prestige of other girls from neutral to respect, and then brushed it, reverence and worship are not a problem." ”
"Prestige, what is that?" Xiao Bai was directly confused by Luo Yin's incomprehensible words.
"If you don't understand, forget it, anyway, people have a good impression of you now. Luo Yin gave him a thumbs up, "Come on, my brother is optimistic about you!"
Xiao Bai was suddenly embarrassed, and went back to bed with a smile.
"Aren't you going to take me to breakfast, are you still going?"
"Don't eat, I'm full......"
......
The passenger ship went down the river to the east, and after more than ten days, it finally came to Hengdong Mansion.
After getting off the boat, Xiao Bai bought a good carriage in the city, and together with Luo Yin and Shui Linlang, he drove Xiao's father and mother to the north by land.
After leaving Hengdong Mansion, the crowd next to the official road gradually became scarce, and the sky slowly darkened.
Luo Yin looked at the sky and said helplessly: "It seems that we can't go to the next town today, so it's better to sleep here for one night and set off early tomorrow morning." ”
Xiao Bai nodded, and then asked Shui Linlang, "What does the water girl think?" After seeing Shui Linlang nodding in agreement, he said, "Then find a place where you can shelter from the wind and rain." ”
They found a forest, lit a bonfire, took out some dry food, roasted it on the fire, and ate a little.
After eating the dry food, it was already completely dark, and several people sat around the campfire and chatted.
"I don't know who the water girl is?" Luo Yin asked casually.
Shui Linlang said: "My family lives in the western border of the Great Jin Dynasty, close to the snowy plateau, twenty or thirty thousand miles away. ”
Xiao Bai interjected: "The water girl came from the western border alone, and she must have suffered a lot along the way. ”
Shui Linlang sighed, recalling the hardships along the way, "The difficult journey is secondary, and the most difficult thing is to avoid the pursuit of the Blood Demon Sect all the way, so that I have to often disguise myself and change my appearance, so that I have to evade their search many times." ”
Xiao Bai thought for a while and asked a question that he had been wanting to ask these days: "Water girl, there is a question I have always wanted to ask, but I don't know whether to open my mouth or not. ”
"What's the problem? ”
"I'm just asking, if you don't want to answer, you can not answer. I heard the conversation between you and the man in black before, and I knew that those people from the Blood Demon Sect had killed your entire family, but I don't know what happened?"
Shui Linlang picked the bonfire in front of her with a branch, thinking about whether to tell them this, looking at Xiao Bai's sincere and clear eyes, she gritted her teeth and thought: "They shouldn't be the kind of people who covet treasures, it's okay to tell them, if they meet someone who is not good, then they should buy a good one, and they can't easily trust anyone in the future." ”
After thinking about it, she said slowly: "My Shui family is a small family of immortal cultivators in the western border, there are only more than 300 people in the whole clan, and there are even fewer immortal cultivators, only a dozen or so, and they have been living peacefully under the snowy mountains. ”
"Who knew that more than two years ago, disaster suddenly befell a small family like us. The leader of the Western Regions Demon Dao, the Blood Demon Sect, suddenly sent someone to kill the Shui family, asking for a piece of the Shui family's heirloom. ”
Xiao Bai remembered the words of the man in black before, and asked, "Is that the glass pure heart stone in the mouth of the man in black?"
"Exactly. The glazed Qingxin Stone is a treasure obtained by the ancestors of the Shui family by chance, and it has been passed down in the Shui family for hundreds of years. Shui Linlang touched a ribbon around her neck, and then pulled out a pendant-like thing from inside her clothes.
This pendant is a pale green glass-like jade, about an inch in size, with a slight blue glow.
"This is the Glazed Heart Stone, what's so special about it for the Blood Demon Sect to snatch it?" Xiao Bai looked at the jade and asked strangely.
"This glazed heart stone has only one function, that is, it can make the wearer clear the mind and calm the mind, and it is not easy to go mad in the cultivation, and in addition, there is no other function. Shui Linlang gently touched the stone that brought ruin to her family, and then she untied the ribbon tied around her neck and handed the jade to Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai took this thing with his hand, and after starting it, he only felt a cool feeling in his palm, and the whole person suddenly only felt peaceful, as if the disturbances in the world were suddenly far away, leaving only the tranquility of the hollow valley and the breeze.
After playing for a while, Xiao Bai handed the stone to Luo Yin.
Luo Yin took the jade, and suddenly felt as if he had been far away from the hustle and bustle of the red dust, and there was only a quiet and quiet meaning left in his heart, and even the fear of death that had been haunting his heart for a long time had dissipated, and the Jindan difficulty, which had always been feared, did not seem to be so terrible and insurmountable.
"It's a good treasure as expected, and those who hold it hardly have to worry about going mad. After Luo Yin checked it, he returned the jade to Shui Linlang.
Shui Linlang had been observing the faces and changes of the two of them as if nothing was playing with the treasure just now, and then she slowly smiled. Because she didn't see any greed in the eyes of these two people who wanted to take it for what she had, only frank clarity.
After receiving the glazed Qingxin Stone, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this time she really didn't see the wrong person, and met a real gentleman.
She was testing just now, testing what the character of these two people was, and whether they would also covet this treasure.
She had a good impression of Xiao Bai, and felt that this person was a rare good person, righteous, sincere, and kind, so for some reason she suddenly made such a crazy decision that surprised her for some reason, and showed them this treasure to verify whether her feelings were correct.
It was a gamble, a gamble about treasures and even more about her own life. If you lose the bet, you may lose your life.
Thankfully, she won the bet, and at the moment her face showed a heartfelt smile and joy.
