After the Failed Assassination[Transmigration Book]

Afternoon the next day.In Anle Town, outside Huating Building.

A woman in a red robe blocked their way.This woman's eyes are like stars, her skin is better than snow, and her lips are like red plums in snow. At this time, she frowned slightly, and stopped in front of the road. She stretched out her hand, and she insisted not to let the two people on the opposite side pass.

Of the two people opposite her, one was wearing a bamboo hat and a sackcloth, and lowered his head slightly as if deliberately concealing his identity, so that he couldn't see his face clearly; It was Xia Zhiming himself, who glared at the woman blocking the way, and said, "Who are you, why are you blocking us?"

The red-robed woman didn't look at him at all, she just stared at the sackclothed Taoist beside him, her expression was a little serious, and she said coldly: "I didn't talk to you, step back."

When Xia Zhiming heard this, he felt that he had been humiliated, and immediately became a little annoyed, and wanted to argue, but the woman didn't intend to talk to him, she just stared at the person next to him, and her words revealed a power that could not be resisted by the other party: "Brother Dao, please take off the bamboo hat and ask me to confirm it. As long as you are not the person I am looking for, I will let you go."

She thought her words were aggressive, and the other party would either obey or be irritated, but she didn't know that the other party pressed the bamboo hat, and treated her as nothing, took a step around and continued walking forward.

The woman reacted very quickly, she turned around and grabbed the man's shoulder, but the man dodged slightly, making her grab fail.The woman's heart was shocked, and she made two more moves, but they were easily avoided by the opponent, and she couldn't help but secretly startled. Although she didn't use spiritual power in these moves, she only used fists and feet to test them out. With such easy handling, he became suspicious immediately, and thought to himself: "Could it be really him?"

Just as she was about to try again, the other party suddenly turned her head, smiled, lifted the bamboo hat a bit, and said, "It's been a long time, I think Fellow Daoist Chu's eyesight is failing."

The red-robed woman obviously didn't expect this person's identity, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed after being shocked, and said, "Why is it you?! Ruan..."

Before finishing speaking, Ruan Yanjun covered her mouth, put back the hat, and said, "What about me? Who do you think?"

The red-robed woman slapped his hand away, and said: "Friend Daoist Ruan, did you hurt your brain during the fight, and you are a cultivator of Xuandan, the head of a faction, why are you dressed so poorly? Or are you Qiu Hetang? The business is not doing well, and even the hall master can’t afford clothes.”

This red-robed woman was named Chu Xiao, she came from the same family as Chu You, and later joined the same school to learn knives, the two of them had some connections, it is said that they had a marriage contract when they were young, but it didn't work out later.Chu Xiao's human nature is like a raging fire, and he was born with a posture of fearing nothing and fearing nothing. Although his temper is a little bit bad, he is upright and nosy. After condensing Xuandan 30 years ago, he went to Outer Continent and never returned. Now When I came back suddenly, I don't know if I found an opportunity to come back to practice penance, or if I got bored playing outside.

Ruan Yanjun also ignored her provocation, and only asked indifferently: "When did you come back? Why is there no news at all?"

Chu Xiao said: "Just a few days after I came back, I heard that my unconscionable brother had done a lot of good things before I got home. No, I went home and slept, took a shower and changed clothes, and came here without stopping. It's bad luck to find him."

Ruan Yanjun smiled slightly: "You Daoist Chu is really courageous. I thought that no one would dare to take care of this trivial matter. It turns out that there are some people who are not afraid of death."

Chu Xiao sneered, and said: "You know my temper, the Chu family and Taixuan Daomen want to shrink their heads, that's their business, they don't dare to take care of it, I dare."

Ruan Yanjun was very indifferent, and said with a relaxed smile: "It's good to have confidence, but I'm afraid that if you don't have the ability, you will lose your life for nothing."

After finishing speaking, he raised his hand to signal her to go with him, and the three of them walked casually on the street. Xia Zhiming saw that this woman and Ruan Yanjun were old acquaintances, so he didn't say a word, and followed behind the two of them leisurely.

After hearing this, Chu Xiao frowned slightly, and said, "You look down on me?"

Ruan Yanjun said: "I don't know how much you have heard from people, but do you know the details of that battle?"

Chu Xiao nodded: "I heard."

Ruan Yanjun said: "Can you cure him?"

Chu Xiao said calmly: "No."

Ruan Yanjun: "..."

Chu Xiao said: "What do you think I am doing? I have always been like this. I fight first, and I will naturally find a way when I fight. No matter how much others say, it is better to fight in person."

Ruan Yanjun's kindness has always been only used on his own disciples, and he usually turns a blind eye to the death behavior of other monks, but Chu Xiao is really...

Even he couldn't listen anymore.Out of good intentions, Ruan Yanjun rarely persuaded others: "I think it's better to forget it, after all, you are also brothers and sisters, it's not good for brothers and sisters to fight each other."

Chu Xiao said: "It's just a distant relative, not familiar."

Ruan Yanjun said: "Is it called unfamiliarity if you have engaged in marriage?"

Chu Xiao said: "Of course I'm not familiar with you after I've made a decision."

She stopped in front of a grocery stall by the side of the road, picked up a bronze mirror, looked at it for a moment, and said to Ruan Yanjun, "20 years ago when you surrounded and suppressed him, I was in Outer Continent and I missed it. I only found out when I received a letter from home. Over the years, I have deeply regretted this incident, and this time it must be made up."

She suddenly sighed: "I haven't been to the Qingping Flower Fair for many years. The flowers in Zezhou are different from here. I've always wanted to find a Yanling flower, but they don't seem to have it there. I remember a long time ago, I still turned into flowers When I was a spiritual monk, a Yanling flower appeared at the Qingping Flower Festival one year. The conditions offered by the seller were impossible for me at the time. Just when I thought there was no hope, Chu You agreed to the condition. Conditions, buy that Yan Linghua."

When Chu Xiao thought of this, she couldn't help gnashing her teeth again. She couldn't let go of it after decades, and said angrily: "I thought he was going to give it to me, but I didn't expect him to be a bastard. Don't give it to me. Forget it, I still tore the flowers into strips in front of my eyes, and after drying them, I drank them with wolfberry tea, just recklessly throwing away everything... Now that I think about it, I should have killed him at that time, so as to save him from worrying about it later. Disaster to the world."

Ruan Yanjun couldn't help laughing, Chu Xiao glared at him angrily, put the bronze mirror in his hand back on the stand, and the three of them continued to walk on the street. After walking for a while, Chu Xiao asked, "How have you been all these years? I heard Said that you took in a Dharma protector, who was handsome and good at martial arts, why didn't you bring him out, but brought this fool?"

The idiot she was talking about was naturally Xia Zhiming. Hearing this, Xia Zhiming snorted displeasedly, but did not refute.

Mentioning Zhang Yun, Ruan Yanjun was silent for a moment, and said: "I asked your bastard brother to take him away. I am looking for him. The idiot in the back is from the Zhuohua Sect. I came out to find someone, but he insisted on following me." , I’ll take it with me by the way.”

After hearing this, Chu Xiao silently nodded.Tomorrow is the Flower Festival, if Chu You wants to come, he should come tomorrow at the latest, they just sit here and wait, I am afraid that he has no interest in the Qingping Flower Festival, so they don't know where to find him.

Some flower stalls have already been set up in advance, scattered on the street in twos and threes. Most of these flowers and plants set up in advance are mediocre and cannot compete with the best ones on the day of the flower fair. Therefore, it is better to set them up early and sell them early to save money. With time, you can still wander around on the day of the flower fair, and bump into opportunities.

Ruan Yanjun was suddenly attracted by an inconspicuous spirit flower. Its stem and leaves were light black, and small white flowers the size of rice grains were dotted on the stem, looking like stars in the sky.

Ruan Yanjun asked the stall owner, "What is this?"

The stall owner was a thin and small girl, her eyes were bright and bright, and she seemed to be only able to cultivate Qi Condensation. She smiled and replied: "This is Xingluohua, because it looks like the stars in the sky, so it got this name."

Ruan Yanjun said: "What's the use?"

The stall owner said: "Besides being special, it has no other use. It is quite suitable to send a girl to a lover. It has an artificial meaning. If a couple of lovers swear to it, they can say 'Let Man Tian Star Witness', this flower is undefeated, and the relationship between the two people will always be there. Its flowering period is very long, as long as 300 years, this potted flower just bloomed half a month ago, it is best to take it as a gift."

Ruan Yanjun nodded. 300 years is indeed a long time. Generally, people who practice Taoism can only live to about 120 years old when they reach the realm of transforming spirits. Only Xuandan monks can live up to [-] years.It can be said that no cultivator in the world can survive the flowering period of this flower, and it is used as a vow between lovers, which can be regarded as a lifetime promise.

Ruan Yanjun found this flower pleasing to the eye, and wanted to buy it, so he asked, "How do you sell this flower?"

The stall owner said: "You can take any high-grade panacea in exchange, and you can take it away."

Ruan Yanjun thought for a moment, and said, "Is the reassurance pill okay?"

The stall owner nodded.Ruan Yanjun took out a peace of mind pill to exchange with her, and then put the flower in the Qiankun dharma bag.

Chu Xiao was picking at the side for a while, seeing Ruan Yanjun took such a useless pot of flowers, she couldn't help but teased and said: "Friend Ruan, who are you buying these flowers for?"

Ruan Yanjun didn't fall for it, smiled lightly, and said, "Give it to me, I hope the head on my neck can be connected to my neck for as long as the flowering period."

Chu Xiao clicked his tongue and said, "If you really think so, you shouldn't have come here to look for him."

While the two were talking, another gust of wind blew up in the sky. When the two looked up, they found another group of people descending from the sky and landing in front of them.The leading monk in Tsing Yi came and called out to Chu Xiao: "Sister Xiao."

This person's name is Wei Fan, and he is Chu Xiao's distant cousin, and the people behind him are all relatives of the Chu family.Chu Xiao nodded to him. Wei Fan looked at her with a faint smile in his eyes, and said, "Have you been traveling in other continents all these years without a hitch? I heard that you are back, so I will come to you immediately. Look a little better." It hasn't changed, it's still beautiful."

I haven't seen him for more than [-] years. Chu Xiao's impression of this person has actually faded. At first, he didn't even remember who this person was. It was only then that I remembered that the two had indeed played together before, but they were all with Chu You and other brothers and sisters of the same generation, so I didn't have a deep impression of this person.

After thinking about it, Chu Xiao smiled at him, glanced at the juniors behind him, and said, "Cousin Wei, long time no see, it's been so many years, your grandchildren are already this old, I came out in a hurry, no Prepare a meeting gift for the grandchildren, and make up for it after returning."

Wei Fan knew she had misunderstood as soon as he heard it, and quickly explained: "No, I'm not married. These are just the younger generation of the clan. When they heard that there are flowers, they made a noise and followed, not my grandson."

After all, he couldn't help but look at the sackclothed Taoist next to Chu Xiao, and saw that this Taoist was wearing a bamboo hat and sackcloth, and was very poorly dressed, but for some reason, he felt a solemn and majestic aura faintly from his back, He unconsciously took a breath, and asked, "The one beside you... Could it be... Could it be..."

Chu Xiao was puzzled: "Could it be what?"

Wei Fan was surprised: "Could it be your husband-in-law? Are you already married?"

Ruan Yanjun coughed violently, and said, "I'm not, I don't, so if you reminisce about the past, just reminisce about the past, and don't get promoted to me."
