After being picked up by Daxian

Chapter 12 Dongfang Mountain

Seeing Sui Xi winking at him triumphantly, but looking at Heng Qing with another innocent look, Xue Jiang wished he could throw this bumbling bastard out of the window immediately.

however……

"Xuejiang, your eyes are so fierce, it scared it to tears."

Seeing Suixi bursting into tears, Xuenen's cheeks covered with crystal clear tears, Hengqing felt that her heart was about to melt, so she quickly comforted her with distress, and she unconsciously looked at Xuejiang with a little bit of a look in her eyes means to blame.

When Heng Qing said this, Xue Jiang felt depressed for a while, so he simply ate the fruit in a muffled voice and ignored them.

It's just that the strength of chewing the fruit is extremely strong, quite a bit of gnashing of teeth.

Until the sun set and the sunset glow gradually fell, it was already dusk and twilight outside.

Suixi was a little tired from playing, so sleepy she squinted her eyes.After a while, under the comfort of Hengqing, he fell asleep humming.

Sensing that Suixi was fast asleep, Hengqing put it into the pet bag.After setting up Suixi, I began to notice a figure eating fruit in silence, and it seemed that I could still see the faint resentment emanating from it.

Suddenly realizing that she had ignored Xue Jiang's existence, Heng Qing couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

After all, being able to keep Suixi was also because of Xue Jiang's concession, but because of the momentary happiness, he directly forgot about Xue Jiang...

"Sorry, because I was so happy, I lost my composure for a while..."

Hearing Hengqing talk to him cautiously, Xuejiang just snorted coldly and didn't look at Hengqing. "Do you still know that you are here to work?"

Hearing Xue Jiang's response, he knew that there was still room for turning around.Hengqing smiled flatteringly, and winked mischievously at Xuejiang.

"Master Xuejiang, I know I was wrong, please calm down!"

In fact, Xue Jiang's grievances had dissipated long ago, but he was just pretending.Hearing Hengqing's words, he felt a little more at ease, but his face remained calm.

"I received a message from the heavens. The evil spirit on the side of Dongfang Mountain seems to be getting stronger. Their new wave of sacrificial activities will start soon, so we will set off before tomorrow morning at the latest."

"So fast? I've only rested for a while, and I'm about to set off again..."

Hengqing looked at her spiritual pet pouch with some reluctance, and the pouch moved from time to time, as if she could imagine how the fluffy ball occasionally moved its buttocks and shook its legs when it fell asleep.

"Although this is not far from Dongfang Mountain, it will take us a few days to get there at our fastest speed. Therefore, we need to start as soon as possible. As for Suixi, since you have brought it with you, as long as you have it in your spare time When it’s time, let it out again.”

Although Hengqing felt reluctance in her heart, she knew that this trip was not for fun, the schedule was in a hurry, and Xuexiang's words were reasonable. "It's true. It's not too late, let's go."

Jian Jian packed his bags, and the two were ready to go.Before leaving, Hengqing was still a little hesitant.

"The road is bumpy, and I don't know when I will be able to release Suixi... It won't be woken up by me, will it?"

"Don't worry, no matter what happens in the outside world, as long as you tie up the spiritual pet bag, even if the sky outside falls, it won't be able to wake up."

Xue Jiang's face was calm and unwavering, but in his heart he hoped that this spiritual pet bag was a defective product, and wished that this little brat would be turned into a mess.

When Hengqing heard Xuejiang's words, she smiled reassuringly. "That's all right, let's go."

The faint spiritual energy on his body began to float, and after a while, two bright streamers, one green and one blue, were seen flying to the southwest, leaving only a faint afterimage in the air.

-

Yicheng, Yulongjiang.

Extending from the southwest of Yongcheng to Yicheng, there are gradually towering mountains, and countless basins are formed between them, creating its unique rugged terrain and unique water and soil that is different from other places.

The shady place on the back of the mountain is covered with humid rain and fog all the year round, which is its unique advantage, so the tea trade is extremely developed.

After the tea farmers have worked hard to pick the tea leaves, they will be transported to the bustling market.There are a lot of merchants traveling from south to north gathered in the market, the streets are crowded with people wearing exotic clothes, and there are frequent carriages and horses, all of whom come to collect tea and sell foreign goods.

Spices, jewelry, minerals, metals... are all sold in this well-connected market, and money and goods from nowhere are also secretly circulated in this jumble of fish and dragons.

However, in this market where fish and dragons were mixed together, two men walked alone, which made people suspicious.In order to avoid unnecessary attention and trouble, the two decided to dress up in disguise.

Aside from the hustle and bustle, the two landed in a remote alley.Because no one passed by, garbage piled up into mountains, flies scattered, and emitted a foul smell.After some whispers and small noises were heard inside, two figures came out.

One is a tall woman with a silk handkerchief covering her face.Although the face was deliberately concealed, it was still possible to see a bit of beauty from the gap blown by the wind.

The other is a slightly thin man, but he looks like an ordinary businessman, but the blood-colored exquisite jade pendant on his waist is a bit special.

And the woman pressed against the man's shoulder shyly and weakly, as if whispering something softly in his ear.

"Why am I a woman!" The voice was like melting snow and ice, as clear as jade, with a bit of gnashing of teeth annoyed, but it was clearly a man's voice.

It turned out that the tall and pretty woman was actually disguised by Xue Jiang.

"Hahaha, I have never been to the mortal world, and you know the dress of an ordinary woman best, and you don't want Hongyu to pretend to be... Your appearance is so outstanding, it is not surprising that you are dressed as a woman, on the contrary, it is even better. they."

Although Hengqing's words contained ridicule, the words of praise came from the heart.

The beauty of snow falls is obvious to all in the heavens.That's why Xuexiang has won the title of "The Most Beautiful Beauty in the Immortal World" year after year.

People who have seen Xuexiang, even the most beautiful female fairy in the fairy world, will feel that it pales in comparison.Therefore, when he saw the snow falling for the first time, he even thought he was in a different place.

When Hengqing first woke up, she felt that the sky was covered in pure white, and found herself in a pure white room.The light veil flying around the door made him even more suspicious.

When he went outside to see where it was, he saw a jade man in white sitting in front of the white jade table, seeming to be drinking to himself.

I saw him holding up the blue and white teacup, wanting to sip the green tea in the cup, he only tilted it slightly.Eye waves flowed, and they met Hengqing's eyes, and countless white jade begonias were blown down in an instant, pear white petals fell, chess pieces and petals were scattered on the chessboard.

Noticing Hengqing's gaze, the corners of the man's mouth curled up slightly, as if the top of the snow had just melted and spring was sprouting.There is a little plum blossom red mole on the forehead, which makes it even more gorgeous and shining.

In the later days of getting along, Hengqing gradually realized that the exiled immortal jade man in front of her was actually a difficult and awkward uncle who liked to order her around.

Although he was often dizzy by Xuejiang's tricks, the first sight of that scene has been deeply buried in his heart since then, and it has become a precious memory that he will never forget.

Between you and me, the two quickly walked to the market.

The workers carrying the goods came and went, the vendors shouted and hawked, and there were also businessmen with their families, who were negotiating prices with the store owners.

Although Xue Jiang's stature was a bit tall, the market was full of fish and dragons, and the people seemed to be familiar with it, and they were all in peace.

The two of them didn't stay long, they hurriedly walked, just to get to the center of the market.

In order to hold the sacrificial activities smoothly, the local tyrants will select the candidates to be sacrificed among the local young men and women.And this candidate is often decided by the judges led by the city lord, and the final candidate is made by the city lord.

Therefore, the slightly richer local families will bribe the judges.And poorer families will try their best to offer some melons and fruits grown at home.Men and women who failed to offer good offerings, or were abandoned by their families, were likely to be sacrificed and sent to the center of the market, waiting to be judged.

The distance was not far, and soon a crowd gathered.Adult men and women lined up and were forcibly pulled into a large circle surrounded by bamboo fences by several burly men, just like livestock being driven into the circle.

Outside the circle, countless young and old were crowded, some came to see off their children, some cried because they didn't want their children to be pulled into the circle, but most of them came to watch the excitement.

The crowd was very crowded, and amidst the pushing and shoving, the two took the opportunity to blend into the crowd and squeeze to the front.

The boys and girls crowding in front of and behind the queue were either howling and crying, hugging the fence and refusing to let go, and when they were forcibly pulled away, they were frightened and frightened, making their bodies smelly; or they were dragged numbly, with gray and cold expressions and dim and hopeless eyes , waiting for the fate of being chosen.

After they all entered the circle, they were divided into male and female groups.

Some cried so much that they collapsed on the ground and refused to get up, they were directly kicked by the big man, knocking out their teeth and swallowing blood; those who tried to escape from the circle were directly lifted by the big man, smashed to the ground, and then moved no.

A red and white overflow on the ground seems to indicate the powerless and tragic fate of the men and women in the circle.

At this time, the noisy crowd suddenly fell silent.Hengqing felt a very sinister aura coming, as if being climbed by a cold and slippery snake.

Because of this strange breath, the blood-colored jade pendant on his waist also began to tremble slightly.

Caressing the jade pendant, Hengqing slowly raised her eyes, only to see a man in a fancy dress with an unexpectedly ordinary face, leading the people behind into the circle.

"That man is the local city lord. He is the most powerful Gu maker in the local area. He is known as the Gu King. People only know his surname Xie, but no one knows his real name. He has a strong Yin Qi, but ordinary people It's hard to detect, so no one has noticed his abnormality until now."

He felt a gust of warm breath spraying out, Xuexiang leaned close to his ear, and whispered to himself.
