The fairy world collapsed, and the down-and-out gods were laid off and re-employed.
Chapter 319: Immortal, Doubt
Perhaps because Ling Xuanche's aura was too strong, the girl couldn't help but shrink her neck after scolding him. But seeing that Jiang Zhixia was easy to get along with, he boldly said to her: "Girl, I see that you are an honest person. I have to remind you that if you don't pay attention when you marry such a man back home, sooner or later he will carry you out." Stealing people.”
"Ha!" Jiang Zhixia exclaimed: "No, listen to me..."
"Listen to me!" the girl persuaded earnestly: "As the saying goes, marry a virtuous husband, marry a servant, marry a woman. How unbecoming would it be for you to marry such a charming person home and then bring him out to show yourself? Aunt Wu Have you heard the story about Pan Jinnan? Do you think any good man on this street goes out without covering his face?"
"I didn't marry him!!" Jiang Zhixia said while looking around.
Not to mention that most of the men here are veiled or wearing curtain hats, walking along the roadside with small steps, trying to keep a distance from others.
"Not married? Could it be that he is a foreign wife?" The girl showed admiration, "I can't tell you are dressed so shabbily and still have a foreign wife. You must be gifted in some way, awesome!"
Jiang Zhixia: If I were gifted, I wouldn’t be sucked dry by someone.
Ling Xuanche lost half of his anger after hearing her words. This misunderstanding made him very comfortable. He stood aside and looked at Jiang Zhixia with a smile, without saying a word.
Perhaps because her eyes were too hot, the girl was even more certain that the two were related.
She pointed at Ling Xuanche and said: "Don't think that you can have everything smooth sailing just by relying on your beauty. You will never be able to serve someone with your beauty for long. It's time to make good plans for yourself while you are young. Be careful of being abandoned when you are old and young."
After saying that, she leaned close to Jiang Zhixia's ear and whispered: "Leave your contact information. If you don't want him anymore someday, can you give him to me?"
"Take her home quickly." Jiang Zhixia pushed her away angrily, "I told you it has nothing to do with me, and I want to take her away at any time."
She left with her hands behind her back, thinking what a mess this was. Ling Xuanche followed her.
The girl was still shouting behind her relentlessly: "I'm offering a high price, please think again..."
Beauty, remember to cover your face when you go out. Don’t be attracted by the princess. I don’t mind that you have been with someone else. I am willing to marry you as my wife. You should consider it! "
The beauty’s name is Ling Xuanche. If he heard this in the past, he would have been angry, but now he looks satisfied.
"Stay away from me." Jiang Zhixia turned around and said to him.
"Why are you angry? I'm not angry at being misunderstood as your concubine." He said leisurely: "If you are willing, I don't mind being your concubine. Sooner or later, Zhaoheng will do the same." bored."
"If you say one more thing, I will strip you naked and sell you there." Jiang Zhixia pointed at the brothel next to her. It was filled with scantily clad men who were not too cold, waving handkerchiefs from time to time to attract pedestrians passing by along the street.
Ling Xuanche stopped talking, and the two of them continued walking in the city. In order to avoid attracting other people's attention, he took the initiative to put on a veil and followed Jiang Zhixia, forcing away the men who peeked at her with his eyes from time to time.
But they just looked at it, feeling sorry for how such a beautiful woman could be so poor and didn't even have a cotton-padded coat in the cold weather. If he followed her, he might not even be able to afford food. No matter how beautiful it is, it doesn’t matter if you are full.
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but shook their heads.
As a Heavenly Emperor, Feng Hanyan had no reason to stare at mortals who could do some magic every day. Therefore, Jiang Zhixia got very little useful information from her, so she could only slowly search for places where spiritual energy fluctuated in the city.
However, when they reached the store, it was almost closing, there were almost no pedestrians on the street, and they didn't notice anything strange.
Jiang Zhixia stood there and rubbed her sore legs, wondering if she should go back and ask Feng Hanyan again. Finding a needle in a haystack was not an easy task.
Her hesitation was seen by passers-by. The man kindly gave her directions and said that there was a row of abandoned houses in the northwest corner. If they really couldn't afford to stay in an inn, they could live there. At this time of year, many people come to the capital, and housing prices are also high. In the middle of the night, people came to clean the streets, and tomorrow the Queen will hold a ceremony to worship the heaven. If they wandered out late at night, they would definitely be caught by the Imperial Army as spies.
The man was walking in a hurry, and Jiang Zhixia left quickly before stopping her to ask questions.
The Queen's Sacrifice Ceremony...
This piqued her curiosity. She planned to find an inn in the city to stay and see what the heaven-sacrifice ceremony was like.
However, many of the guest rooms in the inns here were full, and in the end only one shabby inn still had vacancies.
The lobby is dimly lit and has no decorations. The temperature inside and outside the house is the same, but the room rate is horribly high, only five yuan a night, and there are not many rooms left.
Jiang Zhixia slapped the counter coolly, "I'm going to live in the northwest corner of the city. There's no place to rest."
Ling Xuanche hurriedly grabbed her, "I'll give it! Don't be so showy, why don't I give it to you!"
Jiang Zhixia bowed deeply to him, "Thank you."
Ling Xuanche:...
When the female shopkeeper saw Ling Xuanche giving money, she secretly scolded Jiang Zhixia for turning out to be a "boyfriend" and a "softie".
But it had nothing to do with her in the end. She just took the money and didn't say much. She picked up the lamp on the counter and took them upstairs.
Jiang Zhixia followed her and asked the Queen why so many people came to the city when she was just offering sacrifices to heaven.
"Have you just arrived at our place?" The female shopkeeper shielded the flames from the wind with one hand and said, "You are finally here this time. From today on, our country will hold a three-day celebration.
Tomorrow the Queen will offer sacrifices to heaven, the day after tomorrow the Emperor will choose a husband, and the day after tomorrow foreign envoys will pay homage to the Queen. There are also singing, dancing and fireworks displays in the evening. Ouch, that scene was so lively, and men and women of school age all over the country were eager to try it. "
"What are the Queen and the others so eager to do? Be a sacrifice?"
Ling Xuanche almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
"Having said this, what else can you be excited to try? Dress up carefully to attract the attention of the royal family." The female shopkeeper asked them to pay attention to the steps and led them around a corner. "They said it was to pray for blessings, but in fact, they found excuses to come from the common people. Select a few outstanding-looking people among the common people to serve in the palace. As the saying goes, domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers, right?"
Jiang Zhixia: This saying should not be used here.
"If someone takes a fancy to this, it will be a huge success." She said: "The jewelry stores on the street were all sold out a month ago."
Jiang Zhixia slapped her thigh - too late!
The female shopkeeper pushed open the door at the end of the corridor, and was instantly hit by a damp, musty smell.
"These are the only days of the year where there are the most people. Even if the house smells bad, it is clean and not many people live there."
Jiang Zhixia was never picky about things she didn't pay for, so she walked in and asked: "Men are eager to try, what makes women excited? Could it be that the Queen..."
"Don't dare to say such nonsense." The shopkeeper made a silent gesture, "They are here for the Imperial Master."
"National Division?"
The shopkeeper nodded.
This national master is the most handsome man in the entire Cuiwu Kingdom, but he only devotes himself to cultivating Taoism, catching demons, and protecting the country. He still has no wife. The Queen made several advances to him but was rejected. However, he was in poor health, and even if he was included in the harem, he would not be able to produce heirs for the queen, so the queen did not force him.
The shopkeeper took out the quilts from the cupboard and spread them on the bed, and added: "These women come here to take a look at him every year, just in case the Imperial Master is moved by his heart and is willing to marry her, they will be proud of their faces if they tell her.
The Queen's guard of honor will pass by here tomorrow. You can secretly open the window and look. If you're lucky, you might be able to see the Imperial Master sitting on the carriage. "
"How beautiful is it? Prettier than him?" Jiang Zhixia put the candlestick next to Ling Xuanche's face and asked the shopkeeper.
It was dark downstairs just now, but now the shopkeeper realized that this man was not bad looking, he was on par with the Imperial Master, but he had a murderous aura around him, which made people very uncomfortable.
She looked at it for a while, then looked back and said: "It's different. You'll know when we meet tomorrow. I was lucky enough to meet the Imperial Master once, and my bones were numb. Fortunately, he is not the emperor's husband. If he enters the harem, other husbands will serve him." , Master, please stop living. Okay, you can rest here and call me if you need anything."
After the shopkeeper finished cleaning up, he took Ling Xuanche to his room. Before leaving, she whispered to Ling Xuanche that Jiang Zhixia was not someone she could trust for life. She was playing with his feelings and defrauding him of his money. Boys should protect themselves outside and don't be deceived by others into losing money again and again with a few sweet words.
Ling Xuanche was disappointed and said: "If she was playing with feelings, I would admit it, but she doesn't see loneliness at all."
Shopkeeper: I'm sick!
On the other side, Jiang Zhixia saw that it was still early before dawn, so she called out the blue bird and told Xie Zezhi about her stay in Cuiwu Country. Then she sat at the table and played with the candle to pass the time.
Suddenly sleepiness hit her, she yawned, turned over and lay on the bed, and the moment before she closed her eyes, she thought: She has been getting lazier and lazier lately.
In a daze, she heard the sound of fighting, opened her eyes and found herself standing in the bamboo forest, with two figures, one red and one black, in front of her.
The two of them were probably practicing their swordsmanship, and they were conserving their strength in every move.
The woman in red turned around, dropped her sword and stood still. The man was so shocked that he quickly retreated. After stopping, he walked towards her angrily, "Nonsense! What if you get hurt?"
The girl tugged on his sleeve and said coquettishly: "Then will you feel distressed?"
The man didn't answer, so she asked again.
Under her gaze, the man nodded slightly, and then said: "Don't make fun of yourself in the future."
"Know it."
Jiang Zhixia couldn't see their faces. When she wanted to step forward to see clearly, the two people turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared.
Suddenly, another woman's sobs came from behind her.
Still the girl in the red dress, she was crying with her back to Jiang Zhixia and wiping her tears.
"Azhi." A man rushed up to her. Although his face could not be seen, his voice was obviously different from the man just now. "I heard that you encountered a demon? Are you injured?"
The woman was so convulsed that she couldn't say a word.
"Don't be afraid, you're fine." He comforted her in a low voice, "There are many demons in Xihuang Mountain, so don't go there in the future. If you go, tell me too."
"no……"
She was half-sentenced. The man in black walked forward angrily, raised his hand and slapped her, "As long as she's fine. If anything happens to her, I will definitely kill you."
