The long road to immortality is missing you

"Cuckoo-"

A cock crow awakened Xi Yuan who was sleeping, but the cock crow seemed a little strange?

Xi Yuan didn't think much, and subconsciously rolled over on the bed.At this time, suddenly found something wrong.

The mattress beside her was empty. Where did Lan Jian go this early in the morning?

Thinking of this, Xi Yuan couldn't sleep anymore, jumped up from the bed, put on some clothes casually, and opened the door.

When Xi Yuan saw the scene in the courtyard, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

I saw Lan Jian dressed in white, holding a fat hen in one hand, and a round egg in the other, with several yellow chicken feathers on her head, surrounded by the three chicks He hangs around.

"Lan Jian, what are you doing?" Xi Yuan tried hard to hold back his laughter, but the corner of his mouth still twitched.

"It has been barking this morning, and I found this under its butt." Lan Jian raised the egg in his hand and said without changing his expression.

"This..." The corners of Xi Yuan's mouth twitched again, and he thought to himself: "The head of the Tianjun Sect really taught a good child to be so ignorant of the world, what will he do when he grows up... "

"Chick chit chit chirp." The chicks under Lan Jian's feet started to make noise again. Xi Yuan hurriedly drove them away, took the hen with one hand, and put it on the ground. It seems extremely contemptuous.

Lan Jian watched curiously as the hen ran away with the chicks, still holding the egg in her hand, and the chicken feathers still stuck to her head.

Lan Jian was about a head taller than him, and Xi Yuan bounced on the spot several times before he could reach the chicken feather on his head and grabbed it off.

"Lan Jian, let's go." Xi Yuan said.

"En." Lan Jian responded, and carefully stuffed the egg into her sleeve.

Xi Yuan was about to pull Lan Jian out of the gate when a loud roar suddenly sounded behind him.

"Stinky boy, where are you going again?" Xi Baile was also awakened by the rooster's crow, and when he came out, he couldn't help being taken aback when he saw the brand-new courtyard.

"Grandpa, are you still going to set up a stall today?" Xi Yuan asked.

"Nonsense, when do you think I won't be going?" Xi Baile said helplessly.

"Okay! Grandpa, you go first, I'm going to take him to pay back the money now, and I'll go find you when I come back—" Xi Yuan said with a smile, winked at Lan Jian, and motioned him to come with him .

Lan Jian finally understood this time, and walked out after him.

"You—forget it, forget it, learn from others, and don't play around all day long." Xi Baile urged from behind.

"I know, I know, Grandpa, you have to be careful yourself." Xi Yuan promised on the lips, but thought in his heart: "It doesn't matter who learns from whom!"

The two walked for a while, Xi Yuan suddenly turned around and asked, "Lan Jian, why did you go back yesterday?"

"I didn't go back yesterday." Lan Jian said.

"Then why did you disappear all of a sudden?" Xi Yuan asked, "After a while, when I turned around, you disappeared."

"Relieve." Lan Jian said lightly.

"..." The corner of Xi Yuan's mouth twitched, and then he asked again: "Then what about the vegetables you bought? Didn't send them up? Didn't you come down to buy them?"

"No." Lan Jian said, "There is something wrong around the town of Cymbidium spinosa, so Master asked me to take a look first."

"Then why do you still buy so many vegetables?" Xi Yuan thought in his heart: "So much money, aren't you wasting money... This is enough for me and Grandpa how long!"

"Well, just buy it." Lan Jian said, "This is my first time going down the mountain."

"I can see it." Xi Yuan said, "You don't even know that you have to pay... Hey, wait a minute, you didn't return to the Tianjun Sect, so where did you get the money?"

Xi Yuan suddenly thought of himself standing in front of him, quickly shook his head like a rattle, and said, "I don't have a penny in my body now, don't expect me to help you pay back such a huge sum of money."

"I have money." Lan Jian said lightly, and took out a golden silk brocade bag again from his sleeve that looked like a treasure bag, and tied a knot at the mouth of the bag.

Xi Yuan originally thought that this time he would see another bag that could freely change in size like last time, but he didn't expect that it would not change this time.

Xi Yuan reached out and touched the silk brocade bag, it was bulging, and it seemed that there was a lot of silver in it.

Xi Yuan suppressed the envy in his eyes, cleared his throat, and said, "Let's go, since you have money, let's go quickly. It would be bad if the stingy boss misunderstood us for not keeping our promises." gone."

Lan Jian nodded, and put the small bag back into her sleeve.

"Wait, the spinosa town you just mentioned is a bit strange recently, what's going on?" Xi Yuan suddenly remembered this sentence and asked.

"Recently, some people have been missing for no reason." Lan Jian said, "But what is strange is that there are no monsters around here."

"Someone is missing? Why is it your turn to take care of this? Don't you Tianjun Sect ignore these trivial matters?" Xi Yuan asked, "And, why are you alone?"

"Because Master felt that something was wrong. There is no news about those who disappeared the first time. It has been hundreds of years." Lan Jian said, "So my master asked me to come and see first. After a while, Master will I will come here in person with my junior and junior sisters."

"Hundreds of years?" Xi Yuan was surprised, "Then why did you think of taking care of it now? Why did you go there?"

"Because no one took it seriously at that time. And at that time, my master was not the head of the sect. Just like me, he was just a big disciple."

"Okay." Xi Yuan thought in his heart: "I don't understand what's going on with you people, hey, I hope nothing happens."

Just thinking about this, the two walked to the original vegetable stall. The boss who was so fierce yesterday is still here today.

"Good morning, boss. I brought him to pay back the money." Although Xi Yuan didn't like him in his heart, he still greeted him with a smile.

"Hey, it's you two boys." The boss said sarcastic words early in the morning, "It's just over a quarter of an hour from the time agreed yesterday, so add a tael of silver, a total of 11 taels and 152 wen."

When Xi Yuan heard this, he immediately became unhappy, and said in his heart: "How dare you trick me? Don't you even look at what Lao Tzu is doing in modern times? This little trick just wants to fool me, and it's still very young!"

Xi Yuan looked back at Lan Jian, who was like a little sheep, and said in his heart, "Fortunately, I followed this time, otherwise, you little sheep will definitely be tricked again!"

Thinking of this, Xi Yuan cleared his throat and said, "According to your thinking, it is because we are not on time, so we have to pay you more money? We are a quarter of an hour late, so we have to pay you an extra tael of silver. How early did you come?" Quarter of an hour? Now it’s just a quarter of an hour, and the whole market at Chenshi officially opened. You should have arrived before Chenshi, right? Just count at Chenshi, so do you want to give us 10 taels of silver? Subtract 152 taels from 8 taels and 2 Wen, In total, we can give you 152 taels of [-] Wen."

After Xi Yuan finished such a long conversation, everyone around was stunned, and Lan Jian, who was standing next to him, was also surprised.

The boss was taken aback for a moment, then blushed instantly, pointed at Xi Yuan with one hand, and said angrily, "You... What kind of bullshit theory are you talking about, can you justify it if you don't pay back the money?"

"We are here to pay back the money. It is the boss who is unreasonable first. For those who make trouble for no reason, we can only return them in the same way." Xi Yuan said innocently.

"You—" The boss looked very angry, trembling, unable to speak.

"Lan Jian, give him the money, let's go, ignore this kind of person." Xi Yuan said to Lan Jian.

The latter took out the golden silk brocade bag again, took out a bit of broken silver from it, and threw it over.

The boss didn't catch it, and the silver fell to the ground, and everyone rushed up to grab the money. Xi Yuan and Lan Jian didn't even look at the crowd behind them, and left on their own.

"Where should we go next?" Xi Yuan pulled Lan Jian and walked slowly in the market.

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in his mind, and Xi Yuan hurriedly said, "Let's go find Grandpa! I haven't learned fortune-telling yet—"

"Okay." Lan Jian was also very curious.

The two walked back along the way they came, but this time they didn't see the gangsters again.

Xi Yuan felt emotional, suddenly thought of what happened yesterday, and asked again: "Lan Jian, did you find this place after yesterday?"

Lan Jian nodded, and said: "Yes, I just arrived here yesterday, and saw a group of people holding sticks swearing and leaving, and the ground was in a mess."

"Did you meet a scholar before you came? Did he show you the way?" Xi Yuan asked again.

"Yeah, what's the matter?" Lan Jian said with a puzzled expression on his face.

"It's okay, it's right." Xi Yuan said.

From a distance, I saw the "Bailei Suangua" flag fluttering in the wind, but there seemed to be a person standing in front of the stall.

I saw that man in Confucian shirt and cloth towel, holding a folding fan. He was the frail scholar from yesterday!

But, looking at the situation, the scholar seemed to be looking for a fortune teller by his grandfather?

Xi Yuan hurriedly pulled Lan Jian forward, only to see that grandpa's eyes were closed tightly, and a hexagram was placed on the white paper in front of him.The scholar turned his head and saw Xi Yuan and Lan Jian who suddenly appeared, and was taken aback.

Xi Yuan gave him a friendly smile and said, "How are you, come to take care of our business?"

The scholar also smiled back at him, and said hesitantly: "Yes... yes, I have nothing to do today, so I want to come to test..."

"What are you testing? Career or marriage?" Xi Yuan asked casually, and glanced at the divination sign on the white paper, which was densely packed with small characters.

The scholar was just about to answer, when Xi Baile suddenly opened his eyes, and the three of them were startled.

"Li Jingxian, is that your name?" Xi Baile asked.

Li Jingxian nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, what did you figure out?"

Xi Baile frowned and thought for a while, then Fang slowly opened his mouth and said: "Your family lives in this town, and you have just reached the weak crown this year. You can't seek fame and fame, but you are in love with a young woman, but you have no intention of falling in love, and the flow of water is ruthless. born?"

Li Jingxian's family background was exposed suddenly, his face blushed slightly, he hurriedly unfolded his folding fan to cover it up, and said: "Xi Banxian really deserves his reputation, please give me some advice!"

Xi Yuan was stunned by the sidelines, and thought, "Is this... so amazing? Grandpa is so powerful? Then he would have figured it out a long time ago, the soul in his grandson's small body has already been swapped. ?”

Lan Jian stared at the things on the table curiously, and looked at Xi Yuan frequently, with an expression that seemed to say: "You can also make a fortune for me!"

However, Xi Baile sighed softly, and said: "Young man, you are doomed to be doomed, and it will only be in these few days. If you can get through it, the road ahead will be smoother and smoother. The girl you love bitterly, One day, I will definitely be moved by you."

"What do you dare to ask? Is there a way to break it?" Li Jingxian asked.

"The secret must not be leaked. When the time comes, you will know." Xi Baile pretended to be profound, and stretched out two fingers.

Li Jingxian immediately understood, took out two taels of silver from his skirt, put it on the table, and said: "Thank you Xi Banxian, I will take my leave."

Xi Yuan stared straight at the side, and thought, "This, this... Grandpa is just talking nonsense like that, and you got two taels of silver?"

As soon as Xi Baile turned his head, he saw Xi Yuan and Lan Jian standing aside, slightly surprised, and asked, "When did you two come back?"

"Just now, when you were giving fortune-telling to that scholar named Li Jingxian." Xi Yuan said, and after a while, he leaned forward again and said with a smile: "Grandpa, please teach me this skill, I want to learn it too!"

"Stinky boy, I only want to learn at this time, old man, I am not at your mercy, I won't teach!" Xi Baile waved his palm, put the two taels of silver on the table into his lapel, and turned his head away.

"Grandpa, teach me, I also want to make money—" Xi Yuan continued to plead, tugging at Xi Baile's sleeve.

Xi Baile was so tortured by him that he couldn't help it. Just as he was about to let go, he heard Lan Jian put ten taels of silver on the table and said leisurely:

"Xi Yuan, you can do the divination for me too."

The author has something to say:

Lan Jian: [worship face] Worship the big accountant!

Xi Yuan: [Laughs] Congratulations!Actually it's nothing

Lan Jian: I decide!When you are brought back to Nantai Xianshan by me, I will let you manage the finances in the future!

Xi Yuan: It’s easy to say, how much is the monthly salary?Is there any subsidy?Control food and control?Oh no, who the hell wants to go back to Nantai Xianshan's Tianjun sect with you?

Lan Jian: [sad face]
