Dressed for a thousand years

Although cultivation is a top priority for Su Qing now, it does not mean that cultivation can be achieved through cultivation.After getting twice the result with half the effort, Su Qing decided to go down the mountain for a walk. After all, he still had a clueless task on his back.

The snake spirit naturally accompanied Su Qing down the mountain, and they returned to Xihe Village first.It's almost spring now, but the flowers and plants haven't sprouted yet, and the village doesn't look very prosperous.

Xihe Village has not been doing well in the past few years. There is much less rain in summer, which leads to a lot less harvest of crops.It's just that the drought has not yet reached the point, and the tax on the land cannot be reduced or exempted, so the villagers live in a tight life.

Su Qing stopped by to have a look at his Tai Sui Temple. The temple was quite dilapidated, but the incense inside was still strong.The little beggars who live in the temple, the older ones are able to work and support the younger ones, and Su Qing feels very relieved about this.

Su Qing didn't come here on purpose to revisit the old place. As soon as he got off the mountain, he felt the little finger being pulled by something, and it turned out that the red thread on the finger was tightened again.

Lu Mingxi again?

From Qingjian's mouth, Su Qing already knew that Lu Mingxi was not dead.He didn't feel much either.If Lu Mingxi had said that he did not want to follow them, he would not have stopped him.To do so...maybe just to be afraid of them.

Su Qing expressed understanding, even if he hadn't fully accepted that he was a goblin before, and met the snake spirit for the first time, if he had just appeared in his original form, Su Qing felt that he would definitely run away without saying a word.

But understanding is understanding, Su Qing still feels a little disappointed with Lu Mingxi.

After seeing his own small temple, Su Qing followed the feeling of the red line and left.He wanted to break the contract with Lu Mingxi, they probably didn't care about each other now, but they were still tied by a red thread, it was so strange.Although he doesn't know how to do it yet, but if the thread can be broken once, it can naturally be broken a second time, which is very good for him or Lu Mingxi.

Probably the weather was not very warm yet, the snake spirit was lazy and refused to walk, and turned into a small snake and wrapped it around Su Qing's wrist.

Su Qing didn't bother to cover up, and walked on the road openly, letting curious adults and children look at him.Because of his current child image, he didn't attract much attention.

Xihe Village is not big, so Su Qing quickly found a place.The first thing he saw was not Lu Mingxi, but a monk with a bare head.

"Amitabha, Lord, your house is covered by dark clouds. I'm afraid there will be disasters." Su Qing heard the monk shaking his head and saying.

According to common sense, people in ancient times were relatively friendly to monks and priests, but maybe the monk in front of him was really not decent, and the woman who listened to him didn't seem to believe it.

"Little master, the situation has been bad these past few years, so don't talk casually. If you want to ask for alms, my family will give you some." The woman replied.

At this time, a man came out from the back of the room, dressed as a Taoist priest, and his voice and expression were cold: "If you have anything to say to her, we will do it with our hands."

Su Qing took a look, who is that Lu Mingxi?

Seeing Lu Mingxi, Su Qing really realized that maybe five years have really passed here.When I saw Lu Mingxi last time, he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and now he is a completely young man.

Five years later, Lu Mingxi was no longer as indisputable as she was when she was a child, her angular face was beautiful and sharp.Although he was dressed like a Taoist priest, he didn't look kind at all.

Just after Lu Mingxi finished speaking, she looked straight at Su Qing as if she felt something suddenly.

Su Qing nodded slightly at him as a greeting.

Seeing Lu Mingxi's actions, that monk also turned his head, it turned out to be another acquaintance.

Han Li... Su Qing almost forgot about this one.At the beginning, he thought that this person had the temperament of an eminent monk, but he didn't expect that he really became a monk.

Compared to Lu Mingxi, the smiling Han Li was more worthy of his attire.

However, Lu Mingxi's appearance completely disbelieved the half-believing woman.I have never heard of monks and Taoist priests walking together. These two young people lied and did not do their homework.

Su Qing was also very surprised. Their combination is... a crazy monk and a crazy Taoist priest?It reminded him of Dream of the Red Chamber.

But they really weren't lying...Su Qing looked up at the sky above the family, and the thin but persistent layer of black air gave Su Qing a faint feeling in his heart.

This is his job.

A flash of surprise flashed in Su Qing's eyes, so, did his great cause of confusing the world start with this family in this small village?

"Let's go." Seeing Su Qing, Lu Mingxi pulled Han Li and left.

Han Li looked at Su Qing strangely, apparently not recognizing him.But he still left with Lu Mingxi, leaving the woman who answered the door standing at the door inexplicably.

"How to do it?" Su Qing didn't leave, but stood there, looked at the black air in the sky, and touched the little snake on his wrist.

"Hey, which family are you from?" The woman looked at the group of monks and Taoists walking away inexplicably, only to find a child in black standing at the door of her house.

She was about to have a grandson, and it was the time when she liked children the most, and she saw that Su Qing liked them very much.

"Wait." The woman said something to Su Qing, then turned and went back to the room.

After a while, she came out, holding a handful of fried rice, handed it to Su Qing and said, "Eat and play."

Su Qing looked at the fried rice in her hand...

"Do you live in this village?" Su Qing tilted her head, smiled, and asked this kind-looking woman.

"That's right. My son just married a wife last year, and he's going to have a grandson soon." The woman squatted down with a smile and talked to Su Qing.

"That's right." Su Qing nodded.

The woman came out of the yard to talk to him, and the black air over the house split into the woman's head when she walked around.

This shows that the black air is indeed aimed at the family, not that there is a problem with the house.

What does it want him to do?Seeing the seemingly harmless black air, Su Qing thought in doubt.

***************************************************************************

It was night, Su Qing disappeared, and floated into the black air above the house to check the situation.

But after seeing Su Qing, the cloud of black air circled around him affectionately for a few times, but there was still no movement.

Su Qing tried to use Yuxi's power to absorb some black energy, but nothing happened.

"Are you Tai Sui?" a person below asked, "Are you going to deal with this family?"

Su Qing looked down, but saw Lu Mingxi.He was wearing a noble Taoist robe, but he looked more like a demon than him.

"Where's Han Li?" Su Qing didn't answer Lu Mingxi's words, but asked about the great monk during the day.

"You know him?" Lu Mingxi frowned.

"You don't know?" Su Qing said in surprise, "He is probably the one who gave you as a sacrifice."

Su Qing didn't provoke them, but simply narrated a fact, but judging from Lu Mingxi's expression, he didn't seem to know it.

After a while, he said, "I met him on the way...he is not really a monk."

"You're not a real Taoist either." Su Qing came down, looked at Lu Mingxi at the same level, pointed to his sleeve and asked, "Is it to hide a brat?"

"Wow Kaka, you saw me, I want to eat you!"

A child's face poked out from Lu Mingxi's sleeve, and he tied a cupola with a red string. He looked pretty cute, but when he spoke, he showed a mouthful of fangs, which looked a little scary.

"Huh? Tai Sui? I haven't seen you for a few years, how come you become like me!" The little ghost didn't know what it meant to be afraid. His instinct made him feel that Su Qing was a little dangerous, but this couldn't stop him from gloating.

Su Qing shook her head, ignoring this ignorant brat.

Lu Mingxi frowned and stuffed the kid back into his sleeve.

"Forget it, I don't care what you do." Su Qing looked at Lu Mingxi's eyebrows, seeing that his yang energy was still very strong, and he probably didn't do anything wicked, so he went straight to the point, "While you are here , let's break the contract."

As he said, Su Qing stretched out his right hand, revealing the red line on the little finger.He stretched out his hand to pull on the red thread, and the thread became loose, but the thread was still lying on Su Qing's palm.

"Give me your hand." Su Qing said to Lu Mingxi.

Lu Mingxi hesitated for a moment, then slowly stretched out her hand.

"...How could it be a knot?" Su Qing frowned, the knot tied to Lu Mingxi's hand was clearly a knot that couldn't be untied.

Before Su Qing could take a closer look, Lu Mingxi clenched his fists, retracted his hands, and carried them behind his back.

"There's a goblin in this house," he said.

"Hmm...he's right." The little snake in Su Qing's hand suddenly stood up, stretched and agreed.

The little snake jumped off Su Qing's wrist and turned into a human form. The bright green clothes were very eye-catching in the dark night.

"Aren't you going to sleep?" Su Qing asked.

"Hmm..." The snake spirit yawned again, looked into the room and smiled, "I smell something I like...it's a delicious fairy."

Saying that, Qing Jian stretched out her tongue and licked her lips.

Su Qing: ...

I've never seen Qing Jian like this before, so I don't know how to react.

"Inside..." Su Qing narrowed her eyes and guessed, "Frog? Mouse?"

He tried his best to pick up what snakes liked and said.

"That's right, it's a mouse." The snake spirit narrowed her eyes, and her fangs were half exposed.

Su Qing was really surprised.Not to mention that the snake spirit has never shown his side of eating living things... But imagining that the snake spirit's body is coveting a little mouse, Su Qing can't accept it.

If Li Jiu was here, he might hate Qing Jian again.

He could understand that Qingjian had no abilities when he was a child, so he had to pretend to be an ordinary snake, with the same habits as ordinary snakes, eating frogs and voles.but!He's already so powerful, it's unacceptable for Mr. Teng She to eat voles, okay?

"Just kidding." Qing Jian suddenly put away his smile, then opened and closed his lips, and said, "I haven't eaten goblins for many years."

Su Qing didn't want to talk to him anymore, and floated to the family's yard alone.

The door god attached to the gate dutifully stopped Su Qing, but after looking at him for a while, he let him go.

When the snake spirit saw that Su Qing had entered someone's yard, he turned his gaze to Lu Mingxi. Specifically, he turned to Lu Mingxi's little finger that was still tied with a red thread.

"Dead knot?" He chuckled.

Lu Mingxi frowned, and slowly hid her hands in her sleeves.

"I wanted to escape so much at the beginning, what's the matter now, I can't bear this contract anymore." Qing Jian didn't know why, but felt a little irritable in her heart, and her tone became impatient.

"Something is better than nothing." Lu Mingxi suddenly smiled, and said back to Qingjian.

"Hmph." The snake spirit snorted coldly and threw out an arm.

Lu Mingxi was startled, and rushed to block it, but the next moment, Qingjian's arm seemed to have no bones, wrapped around Lu Mingxi's arm, and with a grab, the little ghost hidden in his sleeve fell out.

"Oops!" The little ghost screamed when he fell out, and after being glanced at by Qing Jian, he didn't dare to speak again.

However, he was still very loyal, and quickly climbed onto Lu Mingxi's shoulders, taking a protective posture.

"Sure enough, it's for him." The snake spirit was more rude than Su Qing, "You pretended to be dead just to steal this brat?"

"It's not stealing." Lu Mingxi retorted unhappily.

Qing Jian doesn't care about him anymore, Lu Mingxi is a lucky person, he can't do anything to him, and there is no need to do that.

"You can do it yourself." The snake spirit finally advised him.
