Rebirth of Adorable Immortal Journey
Chapter 114 The Guest (1)
"Father is in poor health, and it is a pity that he was unable to see Patriarch Qiao."
Hearing Jianzhang's words, Xiao Ran couldn't help looking at Qiao Heng—it's just that the situation was too special, even Xiao Ran couldn't see any special emotions on Qiao Heng's face.
According to common sense, the uncle said that the grandfather was ill. At this time, the younger generation must show his earnest concern, and even ask for a visit or even a sickness.
But once it's placed between the real Ted and Qiao Heng, it seems inappropriate again.
Having not been in touch for many years, the ancestor Qiao is probably only a little more familiar with the Qiao family in Taihu Lake than a complete stranger.
As ordinary guests, if they want to visit the sick patriarch of the Qiao clan, they probably don't have the qualifications.
It's just that I don't know whether Ted's real person is really "ill" or fake "ill".
If it is really "well", it is estimated that part of the reason is because of the previous things.
Any family involved in such a "sneak attack to seize treasure", and there is really a long-lost chief who is deeply involved in it, I am afraid that they will not be happy.
If it's fake "I'm sick", then it's obviously to avoid seeing Old Ancestor Qiao.
Given their consistent attitude and performance, the latter is even more likely.
According to the Taoist Chongming, the reason why the Taoist Tide is so indifferent to Qiao Heng is actually not the fault of the ancestor Qiao himself.
This dislike has already started from Qiao Heng's father, Brother Jian'an.
Or to be more precise, it was rumored that the real Ted didn't like his son, so before the fall of the Jian'an monks and his wife, they didn't even pay much attention to their grandson who was practicing kendo. close.
Later, Qiao Heng could be said to have grown up completely in Qingyumen, and naturally became more and more unfamiliar with his grandfather and the clan. Today, it has become like this.
If Qiao Heng's attitude towards him suddenly changed after Qiao Heng was conceived and transformed into a god, then there is something to be said.
However, even for Ancestor Qiao's God Transformation Ceremony, the Taihu Qiao family's response was mediocre, not even as positive as some unrelated people who hoped to take this opportunity to pass their eyes in front of their ancestors.
If they can become more hostile to each other, like the relationship between Lu Chengran and the Lu family in Shanzhong, then there is still a bit of direct negative emotion to vent...
However, this level of kinship is extremely dull, and there is nothing unforgettable about it. For some reason, it feels even more desolate.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ran, who was used to being alone, suddenly felt sorry for his family's sword repair...
Apart from being colder, Qiao Heng didn't grow crooked. I'm afraid he should also thank Taoist Chongming for giving him endless care (nagging) and love (nagging).
Zhou Xi, as a bystander with some knowledge of the inside story, heard the meaning of avoiding suspicion in Jianzhang's words, and it was hard not to feel sorry for his little apprentice.
Although he does not have a "justifiable" identity now, he is unwilling to remain silent.
So he took the initiative to say: "Please take good care of Master Ted. I believe you are aware of the purpose of our ancestors coming to Taihu Lake this time. If there is anything, you can send someone to the town to look for it. We probably won't leave in the near future."
Xiao Ran admired Taoist Chongming from the bottom of his heart: As expected of an uncle, in such a place that even he felt embarrassed, he could still talk, and he hinted at many things while avoiding the important ones.
First, he expressed his care and condolences to the real Tide for Qiao Heng, and at the same time pointed out the purpose of their trip - not to visit mountains and rivers, not to visit relatives, they came to find clues.
As long as Master Jianzhang is not a fool, he should understand that the reason why they came all the way here is because Qiao Heng was born in the Qiao family in Taihu Lake, otherwise who would bother to care about such a bad thing.
So Zhou Xi also took the initiative to say that they would not live in Taihu Qiao's, and simply made the host family feel more relaxed. In this way, no one owes anyone, and everyone is well.
Probably after hearing Zhou Xi's words, his heart was touched. Master Jianzhang thought about it for a while, and finally said: "Since Patriarch Qiao has arrived in Taihu Lake, how can he not live here... The environment in our hospital is simple. I will take care of it with my two fellow Taoists.”
Originally, he wanted to express his position, and then left in a cool way. Unexpectedly, the real Jianzhang suddenly invited them to stay again. Even Zhou Xi was a little surprised.
But he looked at Qiao Heng's face, and thought that maybe living here was not a bad thing.
In addition, living outside is indeed not as convenient as living here, so he said again: "Where is it, then I will trouble the real person, and bother."
So, although the atmosphere was not very harmonious at first, the three of them stayed in the Qiao clan in the end.
……
Although he secretly expressed his dissatisfaction with Jianzhang Zhenren just now, when he moved to the guest house, Zhou Xi still couldn't help but secretly said to Qiao Heng: "Fortunately, you are now surrounded by me and Xiao Ran, If your uncle comes with you, I'm afraid it will depress others to death."
This is Taoist Chongming "teaching" Qiao Heng.
He knew that in this kind of kinship relationship, if nothing existed, it would be better if nothing existed, Qiao's might be responsible for most of it, but Qiao Heng always looked cold, which probably gave many people the illusion that he was not close to him.
I don't know if Qiao Heng was born indifferent, or because of his original living conditions, which made him form such a character.
Because he had to stay outside for a long time, Xiao Ran didn't deliberately hide the little fur ball. As soon as he left Jianzhang Zhenren, Xiao Ran released the little fur ball from the spirit ring.
From birth to now, the little guy has not had many chances to travel far away, once in the Treasure Pavilion of Huxi Mountain, once in Lieyang Immortal Island, once in Shoushan Sword Sect, and now, on the shore of Taihu Lake.
The little furball who was curious about many things immediately put it on Li Ran's arm as soon as it came out of the imperial ring, looking back and forth.
"Wow~" It probably just came out of the Yuling ring, and it was still a little dazed. It looked at it for a while, and always felt that something was wrong, until it saw Zhou Xi's empty shoulder, and suddenly remembered it.
Seeing the little fur ball pointing at Zhou Xi with its small claws, Xiao Ran guessed what it was trying to express.
Thinking that this guy really can't leave Xiao Huihui for a moment, someone said with a little taste: "Oh, I left Xiao Huihui outside and forgot to bring it in."
If Old Ancestor Qiao hadn't thought about it all the way, Xiao Ran would not be able to lie to the little guy at this time.
However, with Zhou Xi by his side at this moment, he really doesn't like to tease the little fur ball too much, so he immediately echoed: "What should we do, if Xiaohui gets lost outside, wouldn't we not be able to find it?"
Little Fuqiu: "!!!" When you are in such a hurry, how can you still walk slowly and chat slowly in the courtyard?Hurry up and ask Da Jianxiu to transform the flying sword, and chase Xiao Huihui is the real thing!
In the little guy's heart, only the sword cultivator can catch up with Xiao Huihui. It turned its head to look at Qiao Heng, only to find that the other person was walking in a daze. It suddenly felt that adults were unreliable, and it was the only one who could think of a way.
The little furball tilted its head and sniffed vigorously with its nose, hoping to distinguish the residual smell of Xiaohuihui from the air.
It's a pity that this place is too strange, they are here for the first time, and Xiao Huihui's trajectory is in the sky. The little guy has worked hard for a long time, but he really can't find any "clues".
Before the little fur ball hugged Xiao Ran's neck and began to plead, a small gray figure moved from far to near, and finally landed firmly on Zhou Xi's shoulder.
Seeing the "lost" Xiao Huihui come back, the little fur ball immediately stretched out its little claws and wanted to pounce on Zhou Xi, but was hugged tightly by Li Ran, fearing that it would miscalculate the distance and fall down.
Seeing that the "dangerous ball" that jumped up suddenly was under control, the little gray bird moved two steps to the side of Zhou Xi's head with lingering fear.
——What's the matter with this guy, Ben Gong only left for a while, but he was so nervous, as if he almost couldn't see Ben Gong.
The little fur ball twisted in Li Ran's arms, but did not break free, but seeing that Xiao Huihui returned safely, the little guy was finally relieved.
It put its little head on Xiao Ran's hand, watched with joy the little gray sparrow arranging the feathers that had been messed up when it was just flying, and wagging its little tail in satisfaction.
They were lively and lively, but the manager Qiao who was in charge of leading the way didn't pay any attention at all. He didn't know whether it was because he was afraid of the coercion of Huashen Sword Cultivator, or because he was well-trained and kept his eyes on his nose, his nose, his nose and his heart.
Under the guidance of the manager, Xiao Ran and the others quickly arrived at Qiao's guest house.
As a rich family in the Jianjiang area, the guest house of the Taihu Qiao family is even more grand than the guest house of the Cliff Cave Mansion, and because the building is surrounded by green trees, it is hidden but not exposed, and it is decorated with mountains, rocks and flowing water, which looks very artistic.
Originally, there were acquaintances living here, but because of recent events, those guests found excuses to leave one after another.
So now in the huge guest house, there are only Xiao Ran and his party of three, plus a little fur ball and a little gray finch.
The person in charge of Mrs. Qiao brought him here, and ordered the servants in the guest house to serve the guests well, and then retired neatly, asking Patriarch Qiao and the two Jindan monks to rest immediately.
Xiao Ran walked around the yard with the little fur ball in his arms, admiring the beautiful scenery around him.
Although it was already autumn, there were no green plants on the vines, but there were no back peaks or cliffs, so Xiao Ran came closer to look out of curiosity.
At this time, he suddenly looked towards the wall, and saw something moving in the grass there, and there was a rustling sound.
The fluff of the little fur ball exploded, and looked there together with Xiao Ran.
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
After Jianzhang separated from the guests, he returned to the inner courtyard. Instead of going directly to his dormitory, he walked towards his uncle's residence.
On the way, he met his youngest daughter, Qiao Jin. Seeing her secretly hiding at the intersection and looking around, she faltered and couldn't tell what she was doing when she called out, so she immediately asked her to go back to her yard.
After reprimanding his daughter, he shook his head helplessly, as if he had nothing to do with this girl. He stood for a while, making sure that Qiao Jin did not continue to follow him, and then quickly came out of a room.
Just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard a male voice from inside: "Come in."
Pushing open the door, Immortal Jianzhang walked to a stone platform and saluted Immortal Tide: "Uncle, I... have left the guests behind and placed them in the guest courtyard."
Jianzhang Zhenren didn't know how to explain to his uncle why he made his own claim.
He couldn't tell. Seeing Qiao Heng's silence as usual, and hearing what other people said, he suddenly felt that it was wrong to let his nephew, who hadn't come back for so many years, live outside.
But this was originally the arrangement of Immortal Tide, and now that he disrupted it with a single move, Immortal Jianzhang inevitably felt uneasy.
The time Qiao Heng broke through to become a god, it was actually because Ted Daoist made a mistake in the refining tool and was seriously injured. At that time, several Yuanying in the clan couldn't get away, so he had to send a golden elixir to congratulate him.
The patriarch's situation is dangerous and cannot be explained to outsiders, so in the eyes of everyone, it seems that the Qiao family doesn't value ancestor Qiao at all.
At the Daoist Enlightenment Ceremony of the Daoist, Jianzhang went on behalf of Qiao, but he had almost no communication with Qiao Heng.
Although it was because of bad things that made Patriarch Qiao have to run all the way back to Taihu Lake, but in the end it was a meeting.
Seeing Qiao Heng who looked so similar to his cousin Jian An, it was very difficult for Jian Zhang to watch Qiao Heng go outside.
Real Ted was holding a piece of ore to look at it, but he stopped what he was doing and gently placed the ore on the stone platform.
"Let's keep it if you keep it. Anyway, if they want to investigate things, they still have to start from the clan. This way, we can find an opportunity to talk together, and it will save some trouble." The real person Ted's voice is low but not weak, and there is no "healthy" at all. "Mark of.
"Uncle, now that Qiao Heng has returned to the clan, does it mean that the Qingyu Sect will stand..." on our side this time?
Although Master Jianzhang didn't finish his sentence, Master Ted knew what his nephew meant.
He shook his head: "If there is no complete evidence to prove that we have nothing to do with the sneak attack to seize the treasure, how can Qingyumen risk the world's disgrace because of Qiao Heng?"
Now the few families that are related to them by marriage have temporarily reduced their contacts, not to mention that Qingyumen has almost nothing to do with them just because of Qiao Heng's presence.
However, the Jintingmen and Qixuanmen in the Jianjiang area are involved in this matter. The former is also anxious to find the relics of the ancestor Chang Chuan, while the latter wants to get rid of himself and give the whereabouts of the young master of Yulingzong to the "sneaker". ", and will not show mercy to Qiao's subordinates who are also in Jianjiang.
Facing Shoushan Sword Sect, Yuling Sect, Jinting Sect, Qixuan Sect, Sanxiu League... Now Qiao is alone and very helpless.
After all, Qingyu Gate is not owned by Qiao Heng alone, or in other words, even if Old Ancestor Qiao has the final say on Qingyu Gate, what reason do they have for Old Ancestor Qiao to "advance and retreat with them"?
Immortal Ted didn't want Qingyumen to do anything because of Qiao Heng's relationship, and he didn't want Qiao Heng to involve his sect in such a complicated situation because of Qiao's relationship.
How could Jianzhang really want his family to owe a huge favor for this.
"But Guo Xiang is dead. Although we controlled his family, we didn't get any useful information. Those magic weapons that inexplicably appeared in Guo Xiang's storage ring seemed to appear out of thin air. We don't know where they came from. How come."
When Master Jianzhang thought that such a man with evil intentions had hidden in the clan for so long without anyone noticing, and now he made a big mistake again, he felt deeply guilty: "If I could recognize this person earlier, It won’t be too tired for the family to be framed.”
"If you really want to pursue it like this, I'm afraid my responsibility is greater than yours... Now is not the time to talk about these things. Another group of people from Shoushan Sword Sect have arrived in Taihu Lake. It seems that they will not give up until they achieve their goals."
Speaking of Shoushan Jianzong, Jianzhang Zhenren was a little more excited than when he mentioned Guo Xiang just now: "Jianzong is so deceptive, he dared to ask to enter our clan for search!"
"The spiritual weapon in Fairy Wenhua's hand is the treasure left by the ancestor Chang Chuan. Everything is exquisite. If nothing happened, it would have been brought into the Sword Sect with Fairy Wenhua, but now it has fallen into the hands of the unknown Xiaoxiao. If it were you, wouldn't you be in a hurry?"
"Then you can't be blind and treat others as nothing!" Jianzhang Daoist said angrily.
"If there is no Daoist Taoist from Qingyumen to cross the catastrophe, when will Old Ancestor Gu have someone in his eyes?" Daoist Ted stood up from the chair and took another piece of ore from the ancient shelf next to him.
"There are so many people gathered in Taihu Lake now, there will always be someone who can find the traces first, no matter it is beneficial to us or unfavorable, we have to make progress before we can deal with it."
They knew that Mrs. Qiao hadn't done these things, but the existence of Guo Xiang made Master Ted and the others wonder whether there was really some conspiracy they didn't know that hadn't been discovered yet.
If they can't find out, then why do so many people check together?What will people who hide in the dark continue to do?
But after investigation, the Qiao family also has its own bottom line. Although Master Ted doesn't want Qiao Heng to be involved, he still doesn't allow Jianzong to be so arrogant in the Taihu land.
After talking about the business, Master Jianzhang thought of another thing, he hesitated for a moment and said: "Uncle, Yanlan is now living in Jin'er's yard."
Immortal Ted finally raised his eyes to look at him: "Let Jin'er spend more time with Yan Lan, don't run around even in the inner court during such troubled times."
……
At this time, in Qiao's inner courtyard, a nun dressed in green walked quickly into her boudoir. A girl in a light yellow skirt was sitting at a small table outside, reading a book.
"Sister Yanlan, sister Yanlan, who do you think I met just now?"
The woman she called Sister Yanlan raised her head and smiled gently: "Look at your excitement, who did you meet?"
"I met my father!" Qiao Jin puffed up when she saw that although Song Yanlan asked herself, she didn't seem to be curious at all.
Seeing this, Song Yanlan liked her little cousin's cute and cute appearance, so she pretended to ask curiously, "I'm so happy to meet my uncle? Is there any good news?"
Recently, the Qiao family has been caught in criticism. Although it is not enough for the entire family to be gloomy, most of the clan members are still cautious in their words and deeds, for fear of causing trouble at this juncture.
Song Yanlan's mother is Fairy Yaofeng, the biological daughter of Daoist Tide. Now that Qiao's family is in trouble, she sent her only daughter back to Taihu Lake in order to show her support for her family.
Immortal Ted originally refused and asked his daughter to take his granddaughter back, but Fairy Yaofeng was also stubborn and insisted that Song Yanlan stay, and told Immortal Ted that if Qiao Shi sent Yanlan back, she would send her back again Anyway, the two families are so close, if father is not afraid of trouble, she is not afraid of trouble either.
Recently, the real Jianzhang was busy investigating the matter of Guo Xiang. Qiao Jin said that she was so happy to meet her father.
Seeing that Song Yanlan was finally "curious", Qiao Jin was very proud. She approached her cousin and said in a low voice, "I heard from my father that there is a guest in the guest house. Sister, guess who it is?"
Song Yanlan frowned slightly when she heard the words. Those who can live in the guest house at this time must be people who are very close to Mrs. Qiao. She was moved in her heart and looked at Qiao Jin: "Could it be?"
"That's right, that's him, the old ancestor Qiao from Qingyu Gate!" Before Song Yanlan could say anything, Qiao Jin couldn't help but said, "Father just met him!"
Although Qiao Jin and Qiao Heng are of the same generation, there is a difference in age of nearly two hundred years. She has never seen this cousin who turned into a sword cultivator before, so she is very curious.
Before Song Yanlan came to Qiao's, she had heard from her mother that although Qiao's and Qiao's ancestor had hardly communicated, if the other party still had a relationship, they would probably not stand by.
For some special reasons, Fairy Yaofeng told Song Yanlan not to have too much contact with Old Ancestor Qiao.
"At the beginning, his mother was handed me a handkerchief, and later became his sister-in-law. Originally, it was just a joke to make him more intimate, but he said it casually, but now it has become like this. Although your grandfather is not allowed to talk about it, it is inevitable that the family still Don't pay attention to some voices when you are in Qiao's."
Song Yanlan knew what her mother meant, so don't pay attention to not only those who spoke, but also the content of what they said.
But the little cousin in front of me also knew something, so she opened her mouth and said to her: "I just don't know if cousin Qiao Heng is as powerful as the rumors... If he and sister Yanlan get married, wouldn't he be able to go back to Taihu Lake often?" Yet?"
Song Yanlan patted her hand: "Don't talk nonsense. Ancestor Qiao has a lover. He is a direct disciple of a Taoist priest in Qingyumen. It is said that the two are very suitable for each other. It is only a matter of time before the wedding ceremony is held."
Qiao Jin was born in Qiao's, and grew up in a very simple environment. She was well protected by her parents, and there was no example of male cultivators and male cultivators being together, so she was very puzzled by the rumors: "How can two men get married? "
Seeing that her attention was diverted by her, Song Yanlan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, so she continued to divert the topic in other directions: "This world is so big, anything can happen. The last time my cousin went out on a trip, didn't he see Are the sharks in the East China Sea in pairs..."
Although she is also very curious about this big cousin who has never met, it is also based on the fact that the past will not embarrass both parties.
Fearing that the little cousin would return to the topic again, Song Yanlan pretended to be angry and said, "Oh, I forgot to ask you just now, where did Xuetuan go? You took Xuetuan out, why didn't you bring me back?!"
Xuetuan is Song Yanlan's civet, because of her cute and beautiful appearance, Qiao Jin loves it very much.
Just now when she was reading a book, Qiao Jin went out to bask in the sun with the snowball in her arms. She went out for more than half an hour, and when she came back in a hurry, she didn't see the cat.
She has also lived in Qiao's for a long time, and used to bring Xuetuan to Qiao's for a short stay, and she was not at all worried that Xuetuan would get lost.
I mentioned it at this time, just to grab the attention of my cousin Qiao Jin,
Sure enough, the little girl heard her cousin's gentle voice and looked at her serious expression, and immediately stood up: "Ah, yes, where did Xuetuan go?"
If she hadn't been chasing the snow ball for a while, she still wouldn't have met her father Jianzhang!
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Xiao Ran stared at the grass in the corner, from just now until now, he didn't feel a big threat coming from the grass, so he didn't send the little fur ball back to the spirit ring.
There are many trees here, so there will naturally be some small animals, maybe squirrels or something, and you can let the little fur ball see it.
However, at this moment, a small white head finally poked out from the grass, and a pair of smoky purple cat eyes looked over.
Xiao Ran took a closer look, and found that the "little squirrel" turned out to be a little white civet, about the size of a little fur ball. The snow-white fluff looked very good-looking under the autumn sun, and the whole body was clean. A little guy with an owner to take care of.
Little Maoqiu suddenly saw a creature that looked similar to himself, its eyes were rounded, and it still kept the appearance of fried hair, which looked very funny.
"Meow, meow~" The little civet seemed not afraid of people at all, it moved gracefully to Xiao Ran's feet step by step, and just as it came over, it rubbed against Xiao Ran's clothes sideways, looking very docile .
Seeing the "unfamiliar hairball" rubbing against his own Xiao Ran in front of it, the little furball finally came to his senses, and immediately howled angrily at the little civet, as if he was very dissatisfied with the "brazen" behavior of the other party when they met for the first time Acting like a baby to Xiao Ran.
It's a pity that Xiao Ran and Xiao Maoqiu have different attitudes towards the little civet.
"Where did you come from?" Seeing that it was beautiful and clean, and it looked very similar to a little fur ball, Xiao Ran felt a little tenderness in his heart. He squatted down slowly, holding the little fur ball with one hand, and then freed up the other One hand to touch the little civet.
"Meow, meow, meow~" The little civet has no intelligence, let alone speak, so it cannot tell Xiao Ran the answer to the question.
But it liked Xiao Ran's stroking very much, and the whole cat lay on its side on the ground, allowing Xiao Ran to "hand up and down".
Xiao Ran accidentally glanced at it, and said cheerfully: "You are a little boy just like this guy."
The little civet couldn't understand what Xiao Ran said, but it could feel his gentle breath, so it became more clingy to him, and it didn't even get angry when Xiao Ran touched its stomach.
However, even though it was acting like a baby with Xiao Ran, its eyes were always on the little furball, as if it was very interested in this silver-graded furball. When the little furball called it, it responded a few times.
After a while, the little civet seemed to want to interact with the little fur ball. It tentatively stretched out a small snow-white paw, put it on Xiao Ran's leg, then moved forward, and sniffed it with its pink nose. smell.
The little fur ball was startled by it, and immediately nestled into Li Ran's arms, watching the little civet that "came uninvited" vigilantly.
Xiao Ran happily watched the little furball interact with the "new friend": "Do you want to play with toys together?"
He took out the thousand machine disk, and put the little fur ball and the little civet into it.
It may be the first time I saw moving sand, the little civet seemed a little scared, nestled in the corner of the thousand machine pan and trembled, seeing this, Xiao Ran planned to hug it out.
Who knew that the little fur ball had entered the Qianji pan, and before it patted the sand twice, the little civet was found pitifully hiding aside.
It pushed away a pile of sand with its paws, blinked its eyes, and finally ran towards the little civet with its short legs, calling out to it.
"Aww ow~" Why are you afraid?What's there to be afraid of?This is the most fun, let the baby play for you!Woohoo!
Maybe he also wants to establish a chic and powerful image in front of the timid "strange cat". The little fur ball twists its buttocks and chases after the undulating sand.
"Papapa...papapa..." As the little fur ball slapped down one pile of raised sand after another, the little civet didn't even blink its eyes.
"Aww ow~" How about it, isn't the baby handsome?I told you these are not scary!Allow me to come and play for a while, woohoo!
Encouraged by the little furball, the little civet finally stood up and walked cautiously into the gravel.
……
Xiao Ran took the little fur ball to visit outside, while Zhou Xi wandered around the room for a while.
The little gray bird stood on his shoulder, looking around with its black peas.
"I didn't expect to come to Qiao's again..." Zhou Xi reached out and touched the table and shelf.
The last time I came here, Qiao Heng's parents died due to an accident. He personally accompanied his apprentice back to Qiao's. At that time, because of the sad things, he was naturally not in the mood to look at every plant and tree here.
Later, he inherited the position of the head of the sect, and he would not leave Qingyumen easily, and within a dozen years, the Demonic Dao War broke out, and he fell in the battle, never thinking of starting over.
The little gray bird felt Zhou Xi's silence for a while, and it gently pecked Zhou Xi's cheek with its short beak, as if to comfort him.
Zhou Xi tilted his head and rubbed against the little gray bird: "It's okay, let's go out to find Xiao Ran and Xiao Fuqiu."
The little gray bird is not very keen on "finding the little fur ball", but since Zhou Xi wants to find Xiao Ran, it will reluctantly accompany him.
So, standing on Zhou Xi's shoulder, the little gray sparrow who went into the yard with him saw Xiao Ran's thousand machine disk at a glance, and also saw the little fur ball playing on it... and the other one white creature.
The little furball also found Xiao Huihui immediately, so he immediately dropped the sand pile and the little civet who was watching its "valiant and heroic appearance", and ran to the side of Qianjipan with its short legs, pawing at the edge The pair of Xiao Huihui wagged their tails.
"Wow~" Xiao Huihui saw the baby stepping on the sand~ The baby is so amazing!Woohoo!
Xiao Huihui glanced at the little furball who felt good about herself, and the little civet who followed behind it step by step, and remained silent.
Seeing that Xiao Huihui didn't pay attention to him, and the little furball was not discouraged, it thought that Xiao Huihui was the same as usual, although he didn't say anything, but he was actually watching it secretly, so he immediately turned his head and started patting the sand pile again.
In fact, Xiao Huihui was indeed looking at Qianji, but she didn't completely look at Xiaomaoqiu.
Although the little civet got the invitation and permission of the little furball, it didn't start to "snap" like the little furball. It seemed to be more interested in watching the little furball "snap" and squatted beside it. Staring at the little hairball motionlessly.
It probably felt that the pile of sand was not enough for the little furball to play with, so it used its little paws to make sand piles beside it, one after another, and then meowed at the little furball, trying to get its attention.
The little furball turned its head and saw a row of sand piles in front of the little civet, and immediately ran over happily, raised its little paw, and slapped it smoothly, smashing all the "results" that the little civet had finally piled up.
But the little civet obviously didn't mind, and it even started to pile up sand while the little furball was shooting other sand dunes.
Xiao Huihui: "..." Is it because this kindness is not dedicated to me, that's why the bird is so upset? !
……
In this way, the little civets were piled up all the way, and the little fur balls were shot all the way. Xiao Ran smiled and watched the two little things "intimately interacting" in the thousand machine disk. He was happy that the little guy had a little friend to play with.
Taoist Chongming had never seen Miss Qiao, let alone this little civet, so he asked curiously, "This cat is so beautiful, where did it come from?"
While continuing to push the thousand machine disk, Xiao Ran replied to his uncle: "It came out of the grass in the corner over there."
Zhou Xi followed the place indicated by Xiao Ran, and looked in that direction - it seemed that they came from the female relatives of Nanyuan...could it be raised by Qiao Jin?
Feeling that his shoulders were slightly hot, Zhou Xi couldn't help but glance at Xiao Huihui.
It seems to be the same as usual, just noble and glamorous, watching everything about them with cold eyes.
In the evening, a servant came in cautiously, and before he could speak, he saw the little civet in the thousand machine tray.
He saw that the two golden tanners in the guest house were looking at the little civet, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped forward bravely.
Of course, Xiao Ran and Zhou Xi had noticed him a long time ago, and also found that the servant's eyes had been looking into the Qianji Pan, so they naturally knew the other party's intention.
Before he could speak, Xiao Ran said: "This is your cat? I've been playing here for a while, it's time to take it back to eat."
Hearing what Xiao Ran said, the servant nodded repeatedly and said, "Reporting monk, this is indeed... a little civet raised in the inner courtyard. If you allow, I will take it away."
This servant was afraid that Xiao Ran would like the little civet when he saw it, and then make some demands - this is Fairy Yanlan's little civet, they can't be the master!
Although Xiao Ran likes this beautiful little guy, he still doesn't want to know that it has an owner, and still hold on to it.
He smiled and said to the servant: "It's okay, you can take the little civet away."
Xiao Ran walked over to put away the Qianji Pan, and then hugged the little fur ball.
The servant hurried over quickly, also wanting to hug the little civet.
However, just as he bent down and stretched out his hand, the little white civet jumped to Xiao Ran's feet, pawed at Xiao Ran's clothes with its small paws, and looked up at the little fur ball.
Servant: "..." Well, this Cultivator Xiao didn't like the little civet, but the little civet doesn't want to leave, so what should he do as a little servant? !
Seeing this, Xiao Ran grabbed the little furball's little paw: "Say goodbye to your new friend, it's going home, and you're going to drink milk too."
The little furball looked down at the little civet, and barked at it twice, as if listening to Xiao Ran's words, saying goodbye to it.
The little civet looked at the little furball, although it was still a little reluctant, but finally let go of its paws and took a few steps back.
The servant took the opportunity to chase after it and picked it up, thanked Xiao Ran repeatedly before taking it away.
"Looking at this person's appearance, the owner of this little guy should have a high status in Qiao's." Xiao Ran murmured.
——The status is not low, in the inner courtyard, and she also has such a beautiful and cute pet... Could it be Qiao's female family?
——I heard that the real Jianzhang has a son and a daughter, the youngest daughter is named Qiao Jin, and he and his family's ancestor Qiao are serious cousins.Maybe this little thing is Qiao Jin's favorite cat?
Zhou Xi who was standing beside him didn't know what he thought of, and didn't respond to Xiao Ran's words.
……
On the other side, Qiao Jin, who searched the yard inside and out, back and forth, finally became anxious.
It was Song Yanlan who comforted her and said, "Don't worry, can Xuetuan still not know the way? He must have forgotten where to play, and he will definitely come back when it's time for dinner."
Before she could comfort her cousin, a servant hurried in with a small white civet in his arms.
Qiao Jin was overjoyed, and immediately went up to greet her: "Snowball! Where did you go?!"
The little civet, who had been in other people's yards for more than an hour, obediently accepted Qiao Jin's kneading.
"Where did you find it?" Song Yanlan asked casually seeing her little cousin smiling.
"I found it...in the guest courtyard, and played with the guest's cat for a while." The servant replied honestly.
Qiao Jin and Song Yanlan both looked over when they heard the words, and Qiao Jin asked excitedly, "Then did you also see Patriarch Qiao?"
The servant shook his head: "I didn't see Patriarch Qiao, but I saw two Golden Core cultivators..."
"Oh, that's the direct disciple of Taoist Chongfa!" Qiao Jin was equally curious about Qiao's ancestor's lover: "What is Fellow Daoist Xiao like? Is he good-looking?"
For a servant, a monk is a monk, so how dare he stare at the other person's face, so he said in embarrassment: "I didn't see clearly..."
"Why didn't you see clearly?" Qiao Jin was very disappointed when she heard this.
But soon, she seemed to think of something, and touched the little civet in her arms: "It's okay, just look at it a few times, and you can see it clearly."
Song Yanlan heard her
Hearing Jianzhang's words, Xiao Ran couldn't help looking at Qiao Heng—it's just that the situation was too special, even Xiao Ran couldn't see any special emotions on Qiao Heng's face.
According to common sense, the uncle said that the grandfather was ill. At this time, the younger generation must show his earnest concern, and even ask for a visit or even a sickness.
But once it's placed between the real Ted and Qiao Heng, it seems inappropriate again.
Having not been in touch for many years, the ancestor Qiao is probably only a little more familiar with the Qiao family in Taihu Lake than a complete stranger.
As ordinary guests, if they want to visit the sick patriarch of the Qiao clan, they probably don't have the qualifications.
It's just that I don't know whether Ted's real person is really "ill" or fake "ill".
If it is really "well", it is estimated that part of the reason is because of the previous things.
Any family involved in such a "sneak attack to seize treasure", and there is really a long-lost chief who is deeply involved in it, I am afraid that they will not be happy.
If it's fake "I'm sick", then it's obviously to avoid seeing Old Ancestor Qiao.
Given their consistent attitude and performance, the latter is even more likely.
According to the Taoist Chongming, the reason why the Taoist Tide is so indifferent to Qiao Heng is actually not the fault of the ancestor Qiao himself.
This dislike has already started from Qiao Heng's father, Brother Jian'an.
Or to be more precise, it was rumored that the real Ted didn't like his son, so before the fall of the Jian'an monks and his wife, they didn't even pay much attention to their grandson who was practicing kendo. close.
Later, Qiao Heng could be said to have grown up completely in Qingyumen, and naturally became more and more unfamiliar with his grandfather and the clan. Today, it has become like this.
If Qiao Heng's attitude towards him suddenly changed after Qiao Heng was conceived and transformed into a god, then there is something to be said.
However, even for Ancestor Qiao's God Transformation Ceremony, the Taihu Qiao family's response was mediocre, not even as positive as some unrelated people who hoped to take this opportunity to pass their eyes in front of their ancestors.
If they can become more hostile to each other, like the relationship between Lu Chengran and the Lu family in Shanzhong, then there is still a bit of direct negative emotion to vent...
However, this level of kinship is extremely dull, and there is nothing unforgettable about it. For some reason, it feels even more desolate.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ran, who was used to being alone, suddenly felt sorry for his family's sword repair...
Apart from being colder, Qiao Heng didn't grow crooked. I'm afraid he should also thank Taoist Chongming for giving him endless care (nagging) and love (nagging).
Zhou Xi, as a bystander with some knowledge of the inside story, heard the meaning of avoiding suspicion in Jianzhang's words, and it was hard not to feel sorry for his little apprentice.
Although he does not have a "justifiable" identity now, he is unwilling to remain silent.
So he took the initiative to say: "Please take good care of Master Ted. I believe you are aware of the purpose of our ancestors coming to Taihu Lake this time. If there is anything, you can send someone to the town to look for it. We probably won't leave in the near future."
Xiao Ran admired Taoist Chongming from the bottom of his heart: As expected of an uncle, in such a place that even he felt embarrassed, he could still talk, and he hinted at many things while avoiding the important ones.
First, he expressed his care and condolences to the real Tide for Qiao Heng, and at the same time pointed out the purpose of their trip - not to visit mountains and rivers, not to visit relatives, they came to find clues.
As long as Master Jianzhang is not a fool, he should understand that the reason why they came all the way here is because Qiao Heng was born in the Qiao family in Taihu Lake, otherwise who would bother to care about such a bad thing.
So Zhou Xi also took the initiative to say that they would not live in Taihu Qiao's, and simply made the host family feel more relaxed. In this way, no one owes anyone, and everyone is well.
Probably after hearing Zhou Xi's words, his heart was touched. Master Jianzhang thought about it for a while, and finally said: "Since Patriarch Qiao has arrived in Taihu Lake, how can he not live here... The environment in our hospital is simple. I will take care of it with my two fellow Taoists.”
Originally, he wanted to express his position, and then left in a cool way. Unexpectedly, the real Jianzhang suddenly invited them to stay again. Even Zhou Xi was a little surprised.
But he looked at Qiao Heng's face, and thought that maybe living here was not a bad thing.
In addition, living outside is indeed not as convenient as living here, so he said again: "Where is it, then I will trouble the real person, and bother."
So, although the atmosphere was not very harmonious at first, the three of them stayed in the Qiao clan in the end.
……
Although he secretly expressed his dissatisfaction with Jianzhang Zhenren just now, when he moved to the guest house, Zhou Xi still couldn't help but secretly said to Qiao Heng: "Fortunately, you are now surrounded by me and Xiao Ran, If your uncle comes with you, I'm afraid it will depress others to death."
This is Taoist Chongming "teaching" Qiao Heng.
He knew that in this kind of kinship relationship, if nothing existed, it would be better if nothing existed, Qiao's might be responsible for most of it, but Qiao Heng always looked cold, which probably gave many people the illusion that he was not close to him.
I don't know if Qiao Heng was born indifferent, or because of his original living conditions, which made him form such a character.
Because he had to stay outside for a long time, Xiao Ran didn't deliberately hide the little fur ball. As soon as he left Jianzhang Zhenren, Xiao Ran released the little fur ball from the spirit ring.
From birth to now, the little guy has not had many chances to travel far away, once in the Treasure Pavilion of Huxi Mountain, once in Lieyang Immortal Island, once in Shoushan Sword Sect, and now, on the shore of Taihu Lake.
The little furball who was curious about many things immediately put it on Li Ran's arm as soon as it came out of the imperial ring, looking back and forth.
"Wow~" It probably just came out of the Yuling ring, and it was still a little dazed. It looked at it for a while, and always felt that something was wrong, until it saw Zhou Xi's empty shoulder, and suddenly remembered it.
Seeing the little fur ball pointing at Zhou Xi with its small claws, Xiao Ran guessed what it was trying to express.
Thinking that this guy really can't leave Xiao Huihui for a moment, someone said with a little taste: "Oh, I left Xiao Huihui outside and forgot to bring it in."
If Old Ancestor Qiao hadn't thought about it all the way, Xiao Ran would not be able to lie to the little guy at this time.
However, with Zhou Xi by his side at this moment, he really doesn't like to tease the little fur ball too much, so he immediately echoed: "What should we do, if Xiaohui gets lost outside, wouldn't we not be able to find it?"
Little Fuqiu: "!!!" When you are in such a hurry, how can you still walk slowly and chat slowly in the courtyard?Hurry up and ask Da Jianxiu to transform the flying sword, and chase Xiao Huihui is the real thing!
In the little guy's heart, only the sword cultivator can catch up with Xiao Huihui. It turned its head to look at Qiao Heng, only to find that the other person was walking in a daze. It suddenly felt that adults were unreliable, and it was the only one who could think of a way.
The little furball tilted its head and sniffed vigorously with its nose, hoping to distinguish the residual smell of Xiaohuihui from the air.
It's a pity that this place is too strange, they are here for the first time, and Xiao Huihui's trajectory is in the sky. The little guy has worked hard for a long time, but he really can't find any "clues".
Before the little fur ball hugged Xiao Ran's neck and began to plead, a small gray figure moved from far to near, and finally landed firmly on Zhou Xi's shoulder.
Seeing the "lost" Xiao Huihui come back, the little fur ball immediately stretched out its little claws and wanted to pounce on Zhou Xi, but was hugged tightly by Li Ran, fearing that it would miscalculate the distance and fall down.
Seeing that the "dangerous ball" that jumped up suddenly was under control, the little gray bird moved two steps to the side of Zhou Xi's head with lingering fear.
——What's the matter with this guy, Ben Gong only left for a while, but he was so nervous, as if he almost couldn't see Ben Gong.
The little fur ball twisted in Li Ran's arms, but did not break free, but seeing that Xiao Huihui returned safely, the little guy was finally relieved.
It put its little head on Xiao Ran's hand, watched with joy the little gray sparrow arranging the feathers that had been messed up when it was just flying, and wagging its little tail in satisfaction.
They were lively and lively, but the manager Qiao who was in charge of leading the way didn't pay any attention at all. He didn't know whether it was because he was afraid of the coercion of Huashen Sword Cultivator, or because he was well-trained and kept his eyes on his nose, his nose, his nose and his heart.
Under the guidance of the manager, Xiao Ran and the others quickly arrived at Qiao's guest house.
As a rich family in the Jianjiang area, the guest house of the Taihu Qiao family is even more grand than the guest house of the Cliff Cave Mansion, and because the building is surrounded by green trees, it is hidden but not exposed, and it is decorated with mountains, rocks and flowing water, which looks very artistic.
Originally, there were acquaintances living here, but because of recent events, those guests found excuses to leave one after another.
So now in the huge guest house, there are only Xiao Ran and his party of three, plus a little fur ball and a little gray finch.
The person in charge of Mrs. Qiao brought him here, and ordered the servants in the guest house to serve the guests well, and then retired neatly, asking Patriarch Qiao and the two Jindan monks to rest immediately.
Xiao Ran walked around the yard with the little fur ball in his arms, admiring the beautiful scenery around him.
Although it was already autumn, there were no green plants on the vines, but there were no back peaks or cliffs, so Xiao Ran came closer to look out of curiosity.
At this time, he suddenly looked towards the wall, and saw something moving in the grass there, and there was a rustling sound.
The fluff of the little fur ball exploded, and looked there together with Xiao Ran.
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
After Jianzhang separated from the guests, he returned to the inner courtyard. Instead of going directly to his dormitory, he walked towards his uncle's residence.
On the way, he met his youngest daughter, Qiao Jin. Seeing her secretly hiding at the intersection and looking around, she faltered and couldn't tell what she was doing when she called out, so she immediately asked her to go back to her yard.
After reprimanding his daughter, he shook his head helplessly, as if he had nothing to do with this girl. He stood for a while, making sure that Qiao Jin did not continue to follow him, and then quickly came out of a room.
Just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard a male voice from inside: "Come in."
Pushing open the door, Immortal Jianzhang walked to a stone platform and saluted Immortal Tide: "Uncle, I... have left the guests behind and placed them in the guest courtyard."
Jianzhang Zhenren didn't know how to explain to his uncle why he made his own claim.
He couldn't tell. Seeing Qiao Heng's silence as usual, and hearing what other people said, he suddenly felt that it was wrong to let his nephew, who hadn't come back for so many years, live outside.
But this was originally the arrangement of Immortal Tide, and now that he disrupted it with a single move, Immortal Jianzhang inevitably felt uneasy.
The time Qiao Heng broke through to become a god, it was actually because Ted Daoist made a mistake in the refining tool and was seriously injured. At that time, several Yuanying in the clan couldn't get away, so he had to send a golden elixir to congratulate him.
The patriarch's situation is dangerous and cannot be explained to outsiders, so in the eyes of everyone, it seems that the Qiao family doesn't value ancestor Qiao at all.
At the Daoist Enlightenment Ceremony of the Daoist, Jianzhang went on behalf of Qiao, but he had almost no communication with Qiao Heng.
Although it was because of bad things that made Patriarch Qiao have to run all the way back to Taihu Lake, but in the end it was a meeting.
Seeing Qiao Heng who looked so similar to his cousin Jian An, it was very difficult for Jian Zhang to watch Qiao Heng go outside.
Real Ted was holding a piece of ore to look at it, but he stopped what he was doing and gently placed the ore on the stone platform.
"Let's keep it if you keep it. Anyway, if they want to investigate things, they still have to start from the clan. This way, we can find an opportunity to talk together, and it will save some trouble." The real person Ted's voice is low but not weak, and there is no "healthy" at all. "Mark of.
"Uncle, now that Qiao Heng has returned to the clan, does it mean that the Qingyu Sect will stand..." on our side this time?
Although Master Jianzhang didn't finish his sentence, Master Ted knew what his nephew meant.
He shook his head: "If there is no complete evidence to prove that we have nothing to do with the sneak attack to seize the treasure, how can Qingyumen risk the world's disgrace because of Qiao Heng?"
Now the few families that are related to them by marriage have temporarily reduced their contacts, not to mention that Qingyumen has almost nothing to do with them just because of Qiao Heng's presence.
However, the Jintingmen and Qixuanmen in the Jianjiang area are involved in this matter. The former is also anxious to find the relics of the ancestor Chang Chuan, while the latter wants to get rid of himself and give the whereabouts of the young master of Yulingzong to the "sneaker". ", and will not show mercy to Qiao's subordinates who are also in Jianjiang.
Facing Shoushan Sword Sect, Yuling Sect, Jinting Sect, Qixuan Sect, Sanxiu League... Now Qiao is alone and very helpless.
After all, Qingyu Gate is not owned by Qiao Heng alone, or in other words, even if Old Ancestor Qiao has the final say on Qingyu Gate, what reason do they have for Old Ancestor Qiao to "advance and retreat with them"?
Immortal Ted didn't want Qingyumen to do anything because of Qiao Heng's relationship, and he didn't want Qiao Heng to involve his sect in such a complicated situation because of Qiao's relationship.
How could Jianzhang really want his family to owe a huge favor for this.
"But Guo Xiang is dead. Although we controlled his family, we didn't get any useful information. Those magic weapons that inexplicably appeared in Guo Xiang's storage ring seemed to appear out of thin air. We don't know where they came from. How come."
When Master Jianzhang thought that such a man with evil intentions had hidden in the clan for so long without anyone noticing, and now he made a big mistake again, he felt deeply guilty: "If I could recognize this person earlier, It won’t be too tired for the family to be framed.”
"If you really want to pursue it like this, I'm afraid my responsibility is greater than yours... Now is not the time to talk about these things. Another group of people from Shoushan Sword Sect have arrived in Taihu Lake. It seems that they will not give up until they achieve their goals."
Speaking of Shoushan Jianzong, Jianzhang Zhenren was a little more excited than when he mentioned Guo Xiang just now: "Jianzong is so deceptive, he dared to ask to enter our clan for search!"
"The spiritual weapon in Fairy Wenhua's hand is the treasure left by the ancestor Chang Chuan. Everything is exquisite. If nothing happened, it would have been brought into the Sword Sect with Fairy Wenhua, but now it has fallen into the hands of the unknown Xiaoxiao. If it were you, wouldn't you be in a hurry?"
"Then you can't be blind and treat others as nothing!" Jianzhang Daoist said angrily.
"If there is no Daoist Taoist from Qingyumen to cross the catastrophe, when will Old Ancestor Gu have someone in his eyes?" Daoist Ted stood up from the chair and took another piece of ore from the ancient shelf next to him.
"There are so many people gathered in Taihu Lake now, there will always be someone who can find the traces first, no matter it is beneficial to us or unfavorable, we have to make progress before we can deal with it."
They knew that Mrs. Qiao hadn't done these things, but the existence of Guo Xiang made Master Ted and the others wonder whether there was really some conspiracy they didn't know that hadn't been discovered yet.
If they can't find out, then why do so many people check together?What will people who hide in the dark continue to do?
But after investigation, the Qiao family also has its own bottom line. Although Master Ted doesn't want Qiao Heng to be involved, he still doesn't allow Jianzong to be so arrogant in the Taihu land.
After talking about the business, Master Jianzhang thought of another thing, he hesitated for a moment and said: "Uncle, Yanlan is now living in Jin'er's yard."
Immortal Ted finally raised his eyes to look at him: "Let Jin'er spend more time with Yan Lan, don't run around even in the inner court during such troubled times."
……
At this time, in Qiao's inner courtyard, a nun dressed in green walked quickly into her boudoir. A girl in a light yellow skirt was sitting at a small table outside, reading a book.
"Sister Yanlan, sister Yanlan, who do you think I met just now?"
The woman she called Sister Yanlan raised her head and smiled gently: "Look at your excitement, who did you meet?"
"I met my father!" Qiao Jin puffed up when she saw that although Song Yanlan asked herself, she didn't seem to be curious at all.
Seeing this, Song Yanlan liked her little cousin's cute and cute appearance, so she pretended to ask curiously, "I'm so happy to meet my uncle? Is there any good news?"
Recently, the Qiao family has been caught in criticism. Although it is not enough for the entire family to be gloomy, most of the clan members are still cautious in their words and deeds, for fear of causing trouble at this juncture.
Song Yanlan's mother is Fairy Yaofeng, the biological daughter of Daoist Tide. Now that Qiao's family is in trouble, she sent her only daughter back to Taihu Lake in order to show her support for her family.
Immortal Ted originally refused and asked his daughter to take his granddaughter back, but Fairy Yaofeng was also stubborn and insisted that Song Yanlan stay, and told Immortal Ted that if Qiao Shi sent Yanlan back, she would send her back again Anyway, the two families are so close, if father is not afraid of trouble, she is not afraid of trouble either.
Recently, the real Jianzhang was busy investigating the matter of Guo Xiang. Qiao Jin said that she was so happy to meet her father.
Seeing that Song Yanlan was finally "curious", Qiao Jin was very proud. She approached her cousin and said in a low voice, "I heard from my father that there is a guest in the guest house. Sister, guess who it is?"
Song Yanlan frowned slightly when she heard the words. Those who can live in the guest house at this time must be people who are very close to Mrs. Qiao. She was moved in her heart and looked at Qiao Jin: "Could it be?"
"That's right, that's him, the old ancestor Qiao from Qingyu Gate!" Before Song Yanlan could say anything, Qiao Jin couldn't help but said, "Father just met him!"
Although Qiao Jin and Qiao Heng are of the same generation, there is a difference in age of nearly two hundred years. She has never seen this cousin who turned into a sword cultivator before, so she is very curious.
Before Song Yanlan came to Qiao's, she had heard from her mother that although Qiao's and Qiao's ancestor had hardly communicated, if the other party still had a relationship, they would probably not stand by.
For some special reasons, Fairy Yaofeng told Song Yanlan not to have too much contact with Old Ancestor Qiao.
"At the beginning, his mother was handed me a handkerchief, and later became his sister-in-law. Originally, it was just a joke to make him more intimate, but he said it casually, but now it has become like this. Although your grandfather is not allowed to talk about it, it is inevitable that the family still Don't pay attention to some voices when you are in Qiao's."
Song Yanlan knew what her mother meant, so don't pay attention to not only those who spoke, but also the content of what they said.
But the little cousin in front of me also knew something, so she opened her mouth and said to her: "I just don't know if cousin Qiao Heng is as powerful as the rumors... If he and sister Yanlan get married, wouldn't he be able to go back to Taihu Lake often?" Yet?"
Song Yanlan patted her hand: "Don't talk nonsense. Ancestor Qiao has a lover. He is a direct disciple of a Taoist priest in Qingyumen. It is said that the two are very suitable for each other. It is only a matter of time before the wedding ceremony is held."
Qiao Jin was born in Qiao's, and grew up in a very simple environment. She was well protected by her parents, and there was no example of male cultivators and male cultivators being together, so she was very puzzled by the rumors: "How can two men get married? "
Seeing that her attention was diverted by her, Song Yanlan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, so she continued to divert the topic in other directions: "This world is so big, anything can happen. The last time my cousin went out on a trip, didn't he see Are the sharks in the East China Sea in pairs..."
Although she is also very curious about this big cousin who has never met, it is also based on the fact that the past will not embarrass both parties.
Fearing that the little cousin would return to the topic again, Song Yanlan pretended to be angry and said, "Oh, I forgot to ask you just now, where did Xuetuan go? You took Xuetuan out, why didn't you bring me back?!"
Xuetuan is Song Yanlan's civet, because of her cute and beautiful appearance, Qiao Jin loves it very much.
Just now when she was reading a book, Qiao Jin went out to bask in the sun with the snowball in her arms. She went out for more than half an hour, and when she came back in a hurry, she didn't see the cat.
She has also lived in Qiao's for a long time, and used to bring Xuetuan to Qiao's for a short stay, and she was not at all worried that Xuetuan would get lost.
I mentioned it at this time, just to grab the attention of my cousin Qiao Jin,
Sure enough, the little girl heard her cousin's gentle voice and looked at her serious expression, and immediately stood up: "Ah, yes, where did Xuetuan go?"
If she hadn't been chasing the snow ball for a while, she still wouldn't have met her father Jianzhang!
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Xiao Ran stared at the grass in the corner, from just now until now, he didn't feel a big threat coming from the grass, so he didn't send the little fur ball back to the spirit ring.
There are many trees here, so there will naturally be some small animals, maybe squirrels or something, and you can let the little fur ball see it.
However, at this moment, a small white head finally poked out from the grass, and a pair of smoky purple cat eyes looked over.
Xiao Ran took a closer look, and found that the "little squirrel" turned out to be a little white civet, about the size of a little fur ball. The snow-white fluff looked very good-looking under the autumn sun, and the whole body was clean. A little guy with an owner to take care of.
Little Maoqiu suddenly saw a creature that looked similar to himself, its eyes were rounded, and it still kept the appearance of fried hair, which looked very funny.
"Meow, meow~" The little civet seemed not afraid of people at all, it moved gracefully to Xiao Ran's feet step by step, and just as it came over, it rubbed against Xiao Ran's clothes sideways, looking very docile .
Seeing the "unfamiliar hairball" rubbing against his own Xiao Ran in front of it, the little furball finally came to his senses, and immediately howled angrily at the little civet, as if he was very dissatisfied with the "brazen" behavior of the other party when they met for the first time Acting like a baby to Xiao Ran.
It's a pity that Xiao Ran and Xiao Maoqiu have different attitudes towards the little civet.
"Where did you come from?" Seeing that it was beautiful and clean, and it looked very similar to a little fur ball, Xiao Ran felt a little tenderness in his heart. He squatted down slowly, holding the little fur ball with one hand, and then freed up the other One hand to touch the little civet.
"Meow, meow, meow~" The little civet has no intelligence, let alone speak, so it cannot tell Xiao Ran the answer to the question.
But it liked Xiao Ran's stroking very much, and the whole cat lay on its side on the ground, allowing Xiao Ran to "hand up and down".
Xiao Ran accidentally glanced at it, and said cheerfully: "You are a little boy just like this guy."
The little civet couldn't understand what Xiao Ran said, but it could feel his gentle breath, so it became more clingy to him, and it didn't even get angry when Xiao Ran touched its stomach.
However, even though it was acting like a baby with Xiao Ran, its eyes were always on the little furball, as if it was very interested in this silver-graded furball. When the little furball called it, it responded a few times.
After a while, the little civet seemed to want to interact with the little fur ball. It tentatively stretched out a small snow-white paw, put it on Xiao Ran's leg, then moved forward, and sniffed it with its pink nose. smell.
The little fur ball was startled by it, and immediately nestled into Li Ran's arms, watching the little civet that "came uninvited" vigilantly.
Xiao Ran happily watched the little furball interact with the "new friend": "Do you want to play with toys together?"
He took out the thousand machine disk, and put the little fur ball and the little civet into it.
It may be the first time I saw moving sand, the little civet seemed a little scared, nestled in the corner of the thousand machine pan and trembled, seeing this, Xiao Ran planned to hug it out.
Who knew that the little fur ball had entered the Qianji pan, and before it patted the sand twice, the little civet was found pitifully hiding aside.
It pushed away a pile of sand with its paws, blinked its eyes, and finally ran towards the little civet with its short legs, calling out to it.
"Aww ow~" Why are you afraid?What's there to be afraid of?This is the most fun, let the baby play for you!Woohoo!
Maybe he also wants to establish a chic and powerful image in front of the timid "strange cat". The little fur ball twists its buttocks and chases after the undulating sand.
"Papapa...papapa..." As the little fur ball slapped down one pile of raised sand after another, the little civet didn't even blink its eyes.
"Aww ow~" How about it, isn't the baby handsome?I told you these are not scary!Allow me to come and play for a while, woohoo!
Encouraged by the little furball, the little civet finally stood up and walked cautiously into the gravel.
……
Xiao Ran took the little fur ball to visit outside, while Zhou Xi wandered around the room for a while.
The little gray bird stood on his shoulder, looking around with its black peas.
"I didn't expect to come to Qiao's again..." Zhou Xi reached out and touched the table and shelf.
The last time I came here, Qiao Heng's parents died due to an accident. He personally accompanied his apprentice back to Qiao's. At that time, because of the sad things, he was naturally not in the mood to look at every plant and tree here.
Later, he inherited the position of the head of the sect, and he would not leave Qingyumen easily, and within a dozen years, the Demonic Dao War broke out, and he fell in the battle, never thinking of starting over.
The little gray bird felt Zhou Xi's silence for a while, and it gently pecked Zhou Xi's cheek with its short beak, as if to comfort him.
Zhou Xi tilted his head and rubbed against the little gray bird: "It's okay, let's go out to find Xiao Ran and Xiao Fuqiu."
The little gray bird is not very keen on "finding the little fur ball", but since Zhou Xi wants to find Xiao Ran, it will reluctantly accompany him.
So, standing on Zhou Xi's shoulder, the little gray sparrow who went into the yard with him saw Xiao Ran's thousand machine disk at a glance, and also saw the little fur ball playing on it... and the other one white creature.
The little furball also found Xiao Huihui immediately, so he immediately dropped the sand pile and the little civet who was watching its "valiant and heroic appearance", and ran to the side of Qianjipan with its short legs, pawing at the edge The pair of Xiao Huihui wagged their tails.
"Wow~" Xiao Huihui saw the baby stepping on the sand~ The baby is so amazing!Woohoo!
Xiao Huihui glanced at the little furball who felt good about herself, and the little civet who followed behind it step by step, and remained silent.
Seeing that Xiao Huihui didn't pay attention to him, and the little furball was not discouraged, it thought that Xiao Huihui was the same as usual, although he didn't say anything, but he was actually watching it secretly, so he immediately turned his head and started patting the sand pile again.
In fact, Xiao Huihui was indeed looking at Qianji, but she didn't completely look at Xiaomaoqiu.
Although the little civet got the invitation and permission of the little furball, it didn't start to "snap" like the little furball. It seemed to be more interested in watching the little furball "snap" and squatted beside it. Staring at the little hairball motionlessly.
It probably felt that the pile of sand was not enough for the little furball to play with, so it used its little paws to make sand piles beside it, one after another, and then meowed at the little furball, trying to get its attention.
The little furball turned its head and saw a row of sand piles in front of the little civet, and immediately ran over happily, raised its little paw, and slapped it smoothly, smashing all the "results" that the little civet had finally piled up.
But the little civet obviously didn't mind, and it even started to pile up sand while the little furball was shooting other sand dunes.
Xiao Huihui: "..." Is it because this kindness is not dedicated to me, that's why the bird is so upset? !
……
In this way, the little civets were piled up all the way, and the little fur balls were shot all the way. Xiao Ran smiled and watched the two little things "intimately interacting" in the thousand machine disk. He was happy that the little guy had a little friend to play with.
Taoist Chongming had never seen Miss Qiao, let alone this little civet, so he asked curiously, "This cat is so beautiful, where did it come from?"
While continuing to push the thousand machine disk, Xiao Ran replied to his uncle: "It came out of the grass in the corner over there."
Zhou Xi followed the place indicated by Xiao Ran, and looked in that direction - it seemed that they came from the female relatives of Nanyuan...could it be raised by Qiao Jin?
Feeling that his shoulders were slightly hot, Zhou Xi couldn't help but glance at Xiao Huihui.
It seems to be the same as usual, just noble and glamorous, watching everything about them with cold eyes.
In the evening, a servant came in cautiously, and before he could speak, he saw the little civet in the thousand machine tray.
He saw that the two golden tanners in the guest house were looking at the little civet, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped forward bravely.
Of course, Xiao Ran and Zhou Xi had noticed him a long time ago, and also found that the servant's eyes had been looking into the Qianji Pan, so they naturally knew the other party's intention.
Before he could speak, Xiao Ran said: "This is your cat? I've been playing here for a while, it's time to take it back to eat."
Hearing what Xiao Ran said, the servant nodded repeatedly and said, "Reporting monk, this is indeed... a little civet raised in the inner courtyard. If you allow, I will take it away."
This servant was afraid that Xiao Ran would like the little civet when he saw it, and then make some demands - this is Fairy Yanlan's little civet, they can't be the master!
Although Xiao Ran likes this beautiful little guy, he still doesn't want to know that it has an owner, and still hold on to it.
He smiled and said to the servant: "It's okay, you can take the little civet away."
Xiao Ran walked over to put away the Qianji Pan, and then hugged the little fur ball.
The servant hurried over quickly, also wanting to hug the little civet.
However, just as he bent down and stretched out his hand, the little white civet jumped to Xiao Ran's feet, pawed at Xiao Ran's clothes with its small paws, and looked up at the little fur ball.
Servant: "..." Well, this Cultivator Xiao didn't like the little civet, but the little civet doesn't want to leave, so what should he do as a little servant? !
Seeing this, Xiao Ran grabbed the little furball's little paw: "Say goodbye to your new friend, it's going home, and you're going to drink milk too."
The little furball looked down at the little civet, and barked at it twice, as if listening to Xiao Ran's words, saying goodbye to it.
The little civet looked at the little furball, although it was still a little reluctant, but finally let go of its paws and took a few steps back.
The servant took the opportunity to chase after it and picked it up, thanked Xiao Ran repeatedly before taking it away.
"Looking at this person's appearance, the owner of this little guy should have a high status in Qiao's." Xiao Ran murmured.
——The status is not low, in the inner courtyard, and she also has such a beautiful and cute pet... Could it be Qiao's female family?
——I heard that the real Jianzhang has a son and a daughter, the youngest daughter is named Qiao Jin, and he and his family's ancestor Qiao are serious cousins.Maybe this little thing is Qiao Jin's favorite cat?
Zhou Xi who was standing beside him didn't know what he thought of, and didn't respond to Xiao Ran's words.
……
On the other side, Qiao Jin, who searched the yard inside and out, back and forth, finally became anxious.
It was Song Yanlan who comforted her and said, "Don't worry, can Xuetuan still not know the way? He must have forgotten where to play, and he will definitely come back when it's time for dinner."
Before she could comfort her cousin, a servant hurried in with a small white civet in his arms.
Qiao Jin was overjoyed, and immediately went up to greet her: "Snowball! Where did you go?!"
The little civet, who had been in other people's yards for more than an hour, obediently accepted Qiao Jin's kneading.
"Where did you find it?" Song Yanlan asked casually seeing her little cousin smiling.
"I found it...in the guest courtyard, and played with the guest's cat for a while." The servant replied honestly.
Qiao Jin and Song Yanlan both looked over when they heard the words, and Qiao Jin asked excitedly, "Then did you also see Patriarch Qiao?"
The servant shook his head: "I didn't see Patriarch Qiao, but I saw two Golden Core cultivators..."
"Oh, that's the direct disciple of Taoist Chongfa!" Qiao Jin was equally curious about Qiao's ancestor's lover: "What is Fellow Daoist Xiao like? Is he good-looking?"
For a servant, a monk is a monk, so how dare he stare at the other person's face, so he said in embarrassment: "I didn't see clearly..."
"Why didn't you see clearly?" Qiao Jin was very disappointed when she heard this.
But soon, she seemed to think of something, and touched the little civet in her arms: "It's okay, just look at it a few times, and you can see it clearly."
Song Yanlan heard her
