The beginning of the catastrophe

Chapter 5

After entering Qingqiu, the clean air all over the mountain is extremely orthodox. After all, they are immortals who have survived since the beginning of the world, and they are good at comfort, so they really have an advantage in choosing a place to live.The nearly dense fresh aura spread wantonly in the mountains and plains, making Gui Li, who was used to the cold atmosphere of the ghost world, involuntarily take a few deep breaths.

He planned to find a quiet place first, but when he arrived at the gate of the market, he saw Ye Hua pulling a group, and before he could react, the two happened to meet each other.

All are taken aback.

It was noon in Qingqiu that day, and Rijun dozed off in Yangdian.

The old Migu of Qingqiu had a headache watching that little grandson in dark green playing on the entire ground of Qingqiu with great joy.His irresponsible father sent the child back to heaven to deal with trivial matters. He only said that he would come to Qingqiu for a short stay in the future. Since he is a fiancé-in-law and the prince of the heavenly clan, his aunt must not be neglected, and took care of these few things up and down. The day is also busy, but it's a pity that he has to accompany this little highness to visit the fox's market and quarrel to go to the foot of the mountain. Let this little grandson be disturbed, some timid fox girls saw him, their eyes trembled, and their delicate faces turned red.

The glutinous rice dumpling squatted in front of the loquat basket, pretending to look at it, picked one up and put it back, and then picked up another one. The tender white meat claws set off the tenderness of the small fruit.Bai Qian was squatting on the side to choose carefully, but the loquat in her hand was taken away by a hand that suddenly reached into the basket.

Ye Hua who appeared suddenly looked at the loquat in his hand and frowned,

"You just give this to the dumpling?"

There was a slight dissatisfaction in his tone.

Even if she didn't know it was her child, how could such a small child only eat this for him.Nuomi Duanzi put down the loquat in his hand, and called out happily, "Father."

Bai Qian was a little embarrassed by this question, so she pinched Tuanzi's face and asked him if he liked it.Tuanzi peeked at his father, but didn't speak.

Ye Hua came over and took Tuanzi's hand, asked where there were meat and vegetables, then turned around and walked towards the foot of the mountain, but turned around and saw Ghost Li standing at the entrance of the market, wearing a smoky purple half-sleeved long dress.

The man's long hair was tied up by a hollowed-out beaded jade crown, and a simple agate ring was hung on the waist of the belt. The bloody aura around his body was not exposed at all. He stood in the bustling market under the sun and was independent of the world, with clear eyes. Look at it, it's as cold as ever.

Unexpectedly, it can also be encountered here.

Ye Hua secretly sighed, her heart was mixed and confused, that's all, meeting is fate.

He looked up and down, and couldn't help but lower his head and smile. This ghost king in mortal attire, compared to the rumored "Blood Lord", is more like a son of a martial arts family in the world, but it is too cold. If those eyes were not so tight The frost doesn't melt, just by showing his face like this, I'm afraid he won't know how many hearts are lost.

Thinking about it like this made me feel uncomfortable for no reason.

Probably because of Qingqiu's relationship, the ghost aura on Gui Li's body was concealed, and the fluctuations were subtle. Looking at it with Ye Hua's cultivation base, at first glance, he thought it was just an ordinary little fairy.

How could he be here?

Tuanzi who turned around sullenly also saw it naturally, his eyes lit up instantly, he had a natural sense of intimacy with Ghost Li, he was unprepared and vigilant.Running to Ghost Li on short legs, he wanted to open his mouth but didn't know what to call, Tuanzi's face was tangled up, but Ghost Li was amused.He glanced at Ye Hua who was fixed there with deep eyes, leaned over and picked up the dumpling, "Call me Brother Gui Li."

He entered Qingqiu openly and aboveboard today, so he will not cover up in every possible way like that day in the East China Sea. The two races of gods and ghosts have been peaceful and stable since thousands of years ago. Before inheriting the throne, there is no need to be too formal.

Tuanzi looked back at Ye Hua, blinked slyly, and called out crisply,

"Uncle Ghost Li."

Gui Li was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly, considering his age in the world, he should be called uncle.

"What are you doing?"

The pleasant voice came to Tuanzi's ears. Although there was some snowy indifference that couldn't be overcome, Tuanzi could tell that the person in front of him also liked him.

Grinning, Tuanzi stroked his stomach, smiling innocently,

"I'm hungry, my aunt took me to buy loquats."

Somehow, in front of Gui Li, Tuanzi didn't want to call Mother Bai Qian, so he followed Migu to call Aunt.

Gui Li glanced at the loquat basket not far away, the green fruit was small and exquisite, and he felt dissatisfied with Ye Hua.The child is so young, why let him feed himself with fruit? Even if he is a son of God, he shouldn't be like this. Besides, he heard that the little grandson has been deficient in physique since he was a child.

Ye Hua walked slowly, walking dignifiedly but with a touch of curiosity in his eyes, Bai Qian and the old man Migu also followed in step. The aunt who is famous above the gods has a little childishness in her heart, and she has a clear mind in Jiuli. The eyes of Ye Hua and Gui Li are almost straightforward.

Standing still three steps away from Gui Li, Ye Hua had a smile on his handsome face, thin lips and long eyes, with sharp lines, and the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, which almost made the world pale, "I'm going to buy some food for Tuanzi , do you want to go together?"

The person on the opposite side was a little surprised by this invitation, Tuanzi saw him silent, pulled his sleeve to act like a spoiled child, thought for a while, Gui Li agreed, he put down the tuanzi in his arms, and held his hand, "Let's go. "

Ye Hua chuckled, looked at the person who had turned around, and walked quickly to the other side of the dumpling, and was held by the dumpling.

Behind him, Bai Qian was whispering to Old Migu, and the backs of the three in front were in harmony, as if they had seen each other somewhere.

Halfway through, Migu old man suddenly realized,

"Hey, aunt, do you still remember meeting Zheyan Shangshen and Bai Zhen before, the two of them were walking along the road in the Peach Blossom Forest, that's what it felt like."

After being reminded, Bai Qian took it for granted, and glanced at the dumpling in the middle again, "Migu, do you think Little Tiansun looks a bit like that ghost man, especially the smile at the corner of his mouth just now, curved, still Has eyes."

"Don't say...it's quite similar..."

Bai Qian was a little terrified,

"Wouldn't it be that Tuanzi's mother, Hongxing, cheated and let Yehua raise her son for someone else?"

The Migu is full of black lines, maybe it is the inheritance characteristic of Qingqiu Nine-Tailed Fox, the idea of ​​the aunt's family is always too out of tune, the world is vast, and people are similar, it is not surprising.

The four markets in the southeast and northwest can always get what Yehua wants to buy, but unfortunately there are only raw vegetables, meat and poultry, and there are no cooked pastries, noodles and the like.

Ghost Li skillfully carried the freshly picked vegetables, fresh fish, live shrimps and tender chickens, his posture was more professional than that of Migu who was pulled out by Feng Jiu.The market in this world is roughly the same, and there is not much difference from the one in Qingyun back then, the only difference is that the buyers and sellers are humans, gods, or spirits.Tuanzi looked eagerly at the bright red tomatoes, the dripping cucumbers, and the lively aquatic creatures in the basket.Gui Li picked up a plump tomato, cast a cleansing spell, and handed it to the dumpling, "Eat it first, let others make it for you when you go back."

Hearing this, the dumpling who raised his head swallowed the sweet and sour in his mouth,

"Aren't you with us?"

Gui Li stopped his hand that was picking the fruit, and didn't look back,

"I have something else to do."

Tuanzi is in a hurry,

"Father can help you, and aunt."

Hearing that Gui Li was a little hesitant, he also thought about asking the Qingqiu Fox Clan for help, but firstly he had no friendship with Qingqiu Fox, and secondly, as the leader of the Ghost King Sect, he couldn't easily owe favors to a clan, so he also But Ye Hua is very different in this matter, he is Bai Qian's fiancé, and Bai Qian will definitely not refuse his request.However, the above reasons are also applicable to Ye Hua, there is no such thing as a free lunch, the intuition cultivated for a long time tells Gui Li that he should not have too much involvement with Ye Hua.

There is a feeling in the dark, if the two of them get involved, it may not be beneficial.

Just as he was thinking of finding a reason to dismiss the group, he suddenly heard the person behind him who hadn't said a word speak in a calm voice, "I'll help you."

Gui Li turned around in surprise, Ye Hua met his gaze with a calm expression, he hesitated, "You still don't know what I'm here for."

"As long as it doesn't steal some treasure from the Qingqiu Fox Clan."

Ye Hua was rarely joking.

"...Of course not."

The definition of Qingqiu is neither small nor big. Thousands of years are enough for every aborigine to know exactly where and when a new mushroom will grow on this land.The sudden arrival of two handsome men and a jade-carved fairy boy would not be able to hide it from anyone, let alone a group of people followed Bai Qian into the cave.

Feng Jiu left, and there wasn't even a cook in the cave.Bai Qian, who looked a little embarrassed, hid behind Migu early, with a bit ashamed expression on her face.

After standing silently for a while, Gui Li sighed, thinking that he probably picked the wrong time to come out this time.After asking where the kitchen was, he went straight with a basket of fruits and vegetables.

When he was still Zhang Xiaofan, he had honed his good cooking skills. He didn't want to be idle for so many years, but it came in handy when he came out.

Fortunately, although there is no chef, there is not a single cooking utensil in the kitchen. It can be seen that His Royal Highness Feng Jiu probably knows how to live.Tuanzi scratched the edge of the door and looked in, Guili drove him out, fearing that the oily smoke would suffocate him, but unceremoniously ordered Ye Hua to help him, he didn't ask Ye Hua if he could cook, but Guess it should not be.

Bai Qian watched Ye Hua being instructed to go around, thinking that the prince of Jiu Chongtian probably had never been in the kitchen in his life.

The person who was sitting on the stone bench handling the fish was unexpectedly orderly. Ghost Li and Bai Qian were a little surprised. With the honor of the Prince of Nine Heavens, it was strange that Ye Hua could do the firework work on the stove so smoothly. .

Well, by the way, the last time Muslims checked, it was reported that he once had a mortal wife.

It's really a secret, young and passionate.

Ye Hua didn't have much to say, he has been cooking for a long time, he is naturally familiar with these things, maybe he learned them in Junji Mountain, it's been too long, he doesn't remember clearly.

The aroma of freshly baked dishes on the table, ice porcelain koi carp, yellow egg noodles with bright red eggplant slices, vegetarian stir-fried cabbage heart, steamed fish, stewed very fragrant chicken soup in the center, the oil is specially skimmed, and the noodles are sprinkled A little parsley is added to induce a richer fragrance.The combination of meat and vegetables is good, and the various seasonings are just right, suitable for children's tastes without being too salty.Bai Qian, who was watching from the side, made a comparison, and felt a sense of emotion, she was a mother fox in vain.

Bai Qian and Tuanzi were already waiting at the dining table, the soup was poured into white porcelain bowls, and the ebony chopsticks were placed in front of them, for a moment, Gui Li felt as if he had returned to Qingyun.

The cheeks of the glutinous rice dumpling are stuffed with food, and they are eaten happily.On the surface, Bai Qian maintains an elegant posture of the gods, but the long chopsticks in his hands are only left behind. It works everywhere.

Ye Hua and Gui Li were not hungry, they held green tea in their hands, the milky white tea smelled fuzzy in the cups, and their movements showed elegance in a flicker.

Even though Gui Li is the ghost king of the ghost clan, he is still a junior. Bai Qian felt that he should treat him more kindly, to show the good tradition of Qingqiu god clan's love for children. Thinking of the long-term call.

Cleaned up the three wing rooms near the lake, and opened a study room for Ye Hua at Ye Hua's request.So he consciously fulfilled his master's duty, and Shi Shiran went back to his own fox den and turned into a fox-shaped sleep aid.

When the spring was sleepy, Tuanzi chose the house closest to the lake to take a nap. The Fox Cave was always easy-going, with no red tape like heaven, and no extra attendants. For a while, the two standing on the wooden bridge outside the house were a little quiet.

The aura of heaven and earth slowly floated on the lake, and occasionally a few koi jumped up on the water, flicking their tails beautifully to spread ripples, and spread to the shore in circles.

Gui Li sat cross-legged on the edge of the green lawn, quietly feeling the aura pouring into his body.

Ye Hua didn't make a sound or leave, just stood behind him and watched his back.

Speaking of which, the two times they met, apart from just now in the kitchen, they didn't add up to a lot of serious words, but they didn't say a word and felt surprisingly at ease.

This should not be called a normal situation.

The emotions in Ye Hua's eyes became deeper and deeper, God's sense is very keen, there is no reason to have delusions again and again, let alone with his own cultivation, even a single error is extremely rare.

Thinking like this, the indifferent voice of that person suddenly sounded in my ear,

"Thank you for helping me today."

The words of thanks are so cold and alienated, but they are not as bloodthirsty and cruel as the rumors. These words are agreeing to help him.

Ye Hua chuckled lightly,

"No need."

He took a deep look at the person on the shore who didn't intend to speak again, turned around and went back to the house.

A fallen leaf fluctuated in the wind and fell silently into the middle of the lake, startling a water bird on the water lily.
