The long road to immortality is missing you

A gust of wind blew past, picked up a few leaves, and also blew away the light fragrance lingering in everyone's noses.

When everyone came back to their senses, where was the figure of Lin Jinchu and the silver-haired man in black on the ground?

"Forget it, let's go." Lin Chao was the first to react, cursed a few words, and then led his men to evacuate first.

Seeing this, the onlookers also dispersed, as if nothing had happened.

Wuzhou is the most prosperous place in this area. Although such incidents don't happen often, they can be seen once or twice a year. Therefore, the local people don't take it as a rare event.

"Lan Jian, it looks like Lin Jinchu was rescued by some expert, and the person who rescued her probably didn't mean anything to her, so let's go too! I haven't eaten for a long time, I'm about to starve to death—" —”

Xi Yuan rubbed his flat stomach, his eyes rolled around, and soon his eyes were firmly locked on a small restaurant diagonally opposite.

"That's it." Xi Yuan tilted his head, wanting to ask for Lan Jian's opinion, but found that Lan Jian was still staring at the white-bearded old man who made sugar, as if he was very interested in it.

"Huh? Can't tell, Lan Jian still likes this thing? Why don't you take him to buy something for fun?" Xi Yuan thought carefully, "It's rare to see Lan Jian like something so much..."

Thinking of this, Xi Yuan pulled him a few steps forward. The white-bearded old man didn't even raise his head, but just focused on the movements of his hands.

Xi Yuan glanced at the sugar figure that was about to be completed in the old man's hand. It looked like a fox, with a snow-white body, but its tail was too short.What's even more strange is that the fox has a pair of purple pupils that seem to be able to seduce souls.

"This old man is amazing. This fox is so lifelike. It doesn't look like a sugar man at all, but seems to be coming back to life!" Xi Yuan praised in his heart.

Enough watching from the sidelines, Xi Yuan cleared his throat, stopped looking at the candy fox figurine in the old man's hand, and said sweetly, "Grandpa, may I ask, how do you sell this candy figurine?"

There was only a moment of silence that responded to him. The old man was immersed in his own world without raising his head, as if he hadn't heard Xi Yuan's voice.

Xi Yuan was a little embarrassed, but he could understand it. After all, the old man was old, and his hearing was definitely not as good as that of young people.And when you really concentrate on doing one thing, it is difficult to be disturbed by external forces.

Xi Yuan cleared his throat again, and was about to speak again when Lan Jian tugged his sleeve.Lan Jian was already a head taller than him, and stronger than him, not to mention that he still had spiritual power, and he had a broken spirit talisman that he didn't know how to use at all.

Therefore, with this tugging, Xi Yuan tilted his body and couldn't stand upright, almost hitting Lan Jian again.

After finally stabilizing his figure, Xi Yuan was annoyed for a while, and his tone was unknowingly full of confusion and anger: "Lan Jian, what are you doing—"

Lan Jian made a "hush" gesture to Xi Yuan, and shook her head lightly, signaling him to continue watching the old man's movements.

Xi Yuan looked puzzled, what is Lan Jian doing?Puzzled or puzzled, Xi Yuan still stood there obediently, temporarily suppressing the doubts in his heart.

I saw that the old man who made the candy fox figure had already completed more than half of it, but he was still smearing on it. There were many strange patterns on the body of the little fox. At first glance, the patterns were complicated and there were no patterns at all. , but if you look closely, you feel that there is some hidden meaning.

Xi Yuan looked up at the sky and yawned.He has always been ignorant of Danqing and handicrafts, and has no interest at all.Compared to this, he is still more willing to count the small money.

Xi Yuan yawned four times in a row, and his stomach began to play a march. Xi Yuan glanced at the two people who were extremely focused, and then looked at the sesame seed stall next door. The strong fragrance of sesame seed filled his nose, and he couldn't wait a long time ago.

At that moment, he decided not to bother the old and the young who were immersed in his own world. He quietly took out a few pennies and went to the sesame seed stall to buy some sesame cakes.

The boss is a careful person, so he specially wrapped the sesame seed cakes in oil paper. Xi Yuan held the fragrant sesame seed cakes and moved them back while gnawing.

The old man finally painted the last stroke on the little fox, and when he raised his eyes, he saw two people standing in front of the booth.One of them was enjoying himself while holding hot biscuits, while the other was staring at him intently. To be exact, it was the candy fox figure he had just made in his hand.

Xi Yuan was still eating the first cake, when he saw the old man let go of his hands, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at himself and Lan Jian beside him.

Just as he was about to grin, he remembered that he still had a piece of cake in his mouth. He chewed it a few times, swallowed it indiscriminately, wiped the oil stains from the corner of his mouth, smiled sweetly at the old man, and said, "Grandpa, you are done painting!" ?”

The old man nodded and said, "Are you two here to buy sugar figurines? What kind do you want?"

Just as Xi Yuan was about to answer, Lan Jian stepped forward, looking at the little fox that the old man had just painted, and said, "Grandpa, do you sell this fox?"

The old man was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Lan Jian to say that at all, he was slightly startled, with a look of hesitation in his expression.

Seeing the old man's expression, Xi Yuan quickly tugged at Lan Jian's sleeve, and said first, "Grandpa, I'm sorry, he's been watching you make this candy fox just now, and he thought it was a novelty for a while, so talent……"

At this moment, the old man's hesitation disappeared, and his tone became gentle: "Well, if you really want it, it's not impossible to give it to you."

"How did this happen?" Xi Yuan said with a smile, "After all, it was Grandpa who made it so hard..."

Lan Jian remained silent, Xi Yuan winked at him, pulled him forward, and picked him up first.

"I'm dazzled by what I'm seeing. I'm a rough person who doesn't understand you guys who are into art, so I just pick one..." Xi Yuan wiped his sweat, pointed to a yellow chick, and said, "Grandpa , I want this chick."

The old man stood up tremblingly, wrapped the chick cub, and handed it to Xi Yuan, Lan Jian remained silent on the spot.

"Lan Jian, which one do you want?" Xi Yuan nudged Lan Jian with his elbow, signaling him to choose quickly, as it was getting late.

"I want that big dog." Lan Jian raised her head slightly, looking at the huge "dog" at the top.

Xi Yuan was taken aback, looked up, and when he saw the "big dog" that Lan Jian said, the corner of his mouth twitched, seeing that the old man was also in a daze, and hurriedly explained to the old man: "Grandpa, My brother rarely goes out and doesn't know many things, so don't worry about it. What he means is that he wants the black monkey, not the puppet dog."

"Oh." The old man was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, took down the black monkey tremblingly, and handed it to Lan Jian.

Lan Jian took it over silently, held it in his hand, and looked around curiously. Suddenly, he opened his mouth to bite, and the black monkey's head was bitten off. Lan Jian chewed it a few times and swallowed it. up.

At the end, he smacked his lips, licked his lips, and said, "It's delicious."

When Xi Yuan saw this scene, he felt it was another thunderbolt, but why did he find Lan Jian's candy-eating appearance so attractive...

Xi Yuan looked at the yellow chick in his hand, and lost his appetite just looking at it.

The old man was still a little dazed, Xi Yuan hurriedly handed over the money to the old man, and just about to pull Lan Jian away, the old man suddenly said:

"This fox, send you off."

Both of them were startled, and Xi Yuan was the first to react, seeing that the old man didn't look like he was joking, so he had no choice but to go forward to take it.

"Grandpa, thank you." Xi Yuan took the purple-eyed fox, held it in his hand, and thanked the old man.

The old man waved his hands, stroked his beard, and had a kind smile on his face, but there was a flash of loneliness in his expression.

"Grandpa, let's go first." Xi Yuan waved to the old man, and dragged Lan Jian to the small restaurant diagonally opposite.

"Why did this old man give us the little fox he had so hard to make? Is it really just a coincidence?" Xi Yuan looked down at the purple-eyed fox in his hand, and made him puzzled by the second monk.

"Forget it, leave him alone." Xi Yuan shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

After entering the restaurant and sitting down, Xi Yuan counted his pennies, feeling a pang in his heart.

"It's only been a few days, and that's all I've spent..." Xi Yuan couldn't figure out the only two taels of silver left.

"Where did I spend my money all the way? As far as I remember, I just ate a few meals and stayed in an inn for one night! Could it be that I fell into that grove?"

"What should I do now? After I can't enjoy this meal, I will become a pauper again..." When Xi Yuan thought of this question, he frowned again. At this moment, he looked up and saw Lan who was sitting straight across Jane, another idea came to her mind.

"Lan Jian, Senior Brother Lan, Brother Jian..." As soon as he said it, Xi Yuan was disgusted by himself, but for his own little money, Xi Yuan decided to act cute.

Sure enough, when Lan Jian heard the words, her hands trembled slightly, and she lowered her eyes, hiding the little ripples in her eyes.

Xi Yuan blinked at Lan Jian a few times, and put on a cute and pitiful look: "Brother, brother Lan Jian, Yuan Yuan has no money..."

"It's okay, I have it." Lan Jian took out his always bulging silk brocade bag again, and placed it generously on the table.

Xi Yuan's eyes immediately brightened, and secretly stuffed back his only two taels of silver, and said, "Thank you, Lan Jian!"

"What are you calling me?" Lan Jian raised her eyebrows and asked.

"Lan Jian." Xi Yuan called the waiter, and opened his mouth to order several dishes.

"After all, it's good that you don't have to pay for it yourself! But, why is Lan Jian so rich? Even if he is a direct disciple of the Tianjun Sect, it doesn't make sense to have endless money. Could it be, Lan Jian? Is there someone behind?" Xi Yuan thought secretly.

"No." Lan Jian shook her head, staring at Xi Yuan with starry eyes.

"Ah? What's wrong?" Xi Yuan had just finished ordering and hadn't reacted yet.

Lan Jian was silent, Xi Yuan frowned and thought for a long time, then suddenly came back to his senses.

"Okay, you took advantage of me—" Xi Yuan slapped the table and stood up, thinking that he just had to make such a bad move in order to save some money, in fact, his heart was sweating, especially those few When the words come out of your own mouth.

"No." Lan Jian shook her head again, and said solemnly, "You yelled that yourself."

"I—" Xi Yuan just wanted to say a few words to defend himself, but after thinking about it, he realized that this was indeed the case, so he could only smile sheepishly, and sat down again.

"Brother." Lan Jian said seriously.

"Why? Don't your brothers and sisters all call you brother?" Xi Yuan propped his chin with one hand, before the food came, sleepiness hit him first, and he opened his mouth and yawned again.

"It's because they all shouted that, that's why you have to change your name." Lan Jian also followed Xi Yuan's example, propping her chin with one hand, blinking her eyes, and staring at Xi Yuan whose eyelids were constantly fighting.

"What kind of theory is this?" Xi Yuan was about to fall asleep, and when he heard Lan Jian's words, he replied in a daze.

"Well, call me brother, otherwise I won't pay you." Lan Jian seemed to have found Xi Yuan's Achilles' heel, always saying something just right.

Sure enough, as soon as Xi Yuan heard this sentence, his sleepiness disappeared instantly, and he quickly changed into a pitiful expression, and said: "Brother Lan Jian, I was wrong!"

"Well, that's right." Satisfied, Lan Jian raised her brows slightly, with the same indifferent expression on her face, but she could clearly feel that he was very happy.

"Serve the food—" the waiter in the shop interrupted the two people with a loud voice. It didn't take long before the two people's table was filled with all kinds of dishes. The meat and vegetables were evenly matched, and they looked very appetizing .

Xi Yuan, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't wait any longer. He stretched his chopsticks towards the carp in the center, picked up a large piece of fresh and tender fish meat, and took a few mouthfuls of rice.

When Xi Yuan raised his head, he saw Lan Jian who was not in a hurry, who ate vegetables in small bites and barely touched the few plates of meat, and was speechless for a while.

"How did this guy grow so big? Don't you like to eat? No wonder he's so skinny. Hey, I have to let him make up more in the future, but unfortunately I don't know how to cook..." Xi Yuan thought about it seriously, and suddenly A Ji Ling, feel like something is wrong.

"Wait, what was I thinking just now? Cooking? Supplementing Lan Jian? Does Lan Jian need me to worry about it? His sister Lin has come out, and she will become his little junior sister soon. My little sister What will the younger brother be then?"

"Forget it, let's eat my meal." Xi Yuan shook his head, leaving all these miscellaneous things behind, and focused on the delicious food in front of him.

About an hour later, Xi Yuan patted his chubby belly contentedly, burped, looked at the messy cups and plates on the table, and looked at the darkening sky, and said to Lan Jian: "Lan Jian, let's go. "

Who knows, Lan Jian shook her head, Xi Yuan was surprised at first, and then suddenly realized that they hadn't settled the bill yet.

"Forget it, let him take advantage of it first." Xi Yuan was annoyed for a while, thinking that his real age was ten years older than him, and he still called this kid brother?Just thinking about it gives me a chill.

"For small money, I will bear it!" Xi Yuan comforted himself for a while, but still showed a sweet smile: "Brother Lan Jian!"

"Yeah." Lan Jian nodded. In an instant, Xi Yuan thought he was hallucinating. The corners of Lan Jian's mouth seemed to curve slightly, and then disappeared without a trace in an instant.

After paying the money, the two stood side by side in the still brightly lit alley, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians on the side of the road.Xi Yuan looked up at the dim moonlight, filled with emotion in his heart.

"As expected of the wealthy Wuzhou City, it is lively at night."

At this time, Xi Yuan suddenly remembered something that the two of them had completely forgotten.

The author has something to say:

Lan Jian: Call me brother!

Xi Yuan: No!

Lan Jian: Pay for it yourself.

Xi Yuan: I was wrong!Brother Lan Jian!

Lan Jian: A smug smile.

Xi Yuan: QAQ is worth it for small money!I will definitely become a rich man in the cultivation world in the future! !must!Raise the most handsome dog in the cultivation world!

Gouzi: Huh?
