Mad Dog Meiqi
Chapter 45
Pingcheng was built behind the Tianshan Mountains, and it was located in a high and cold place. After winter, the days were extremely short.
Recently, there have been eight armed conflicts in a row between Pingcheng and the Seven Sages City established by the Yaozu. According to the usual practice, masters in the God Realm do not fight, but after several battles, many people died.In the afternoon, Pingcheng, which was already short of supplies, sometimes had no voices at all.
Mei Qi had just returned from fighting outside the city, her clothes were torn, and her muscles were wriggling and healing in the mud.He sat at the counter in the lobby of the tavern and asked the shopkeeper for half a bowl of rice wine.
The shopkeeper retired from the front line decades ago, had one arm and one leg chopped off, and survived the catastrophe. He opened a tavern at the back door of Prince Ping's Mansion, because he only had half of his body, so he was called so-and-so half by his colleagues.After so long, all the soldiers of his class died, no one remembered his surname, the war dragged on and on, and people yelled half as a shopkeeper and as an old man, so that he himself forgot.Mei Qi mentioned it once, your name is Banbian, why not take my surname as Mei, because there is no half side, the image is vivid and easy to remember.The shopkeeper hit his head with a cane.
Half of them can always get wine, and everyone recognizes it with some water-it's good to have wine.What's more, everyone is here for good luck.Don't look at people who are disabled, it is good luck to survive a catastrophe on the battlefield.
The shopkeeper jumped behind the curtain, and Mei Qi drank half a bowl of warm wine in one gulp, attracting the attention of several soldiers by the stove.A big man with an itchy wound and rubbing half of a dirty bandage smiled without malice, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Half the shopkeeper, this little brother is your son? You can mix his half bowl of wine with it." The water can give our brothers to drink for two days!"
Behind the old and clean curtain came a half-smile and scold: "Fuck you, get out!"
In Pingcheng, there are many people who know Seven Killing Sword, but few people know Mei Qi.Mei Qi didn't mind either, she stuck her tongue out at them, causing a howl: "How long has it been since I touched a woman..." That guy was ridiculed by his companion, Mei Qi smiled and said:
"Where are you from? I'm from Lin'an. When I win the battle, I'll invite you to drink there."
The big man picking at his wound shook his head and said, "What's so good about the wine in the south? It tastes like water in your stomach, and it's sweet for girls to eat. The strong wine in the north is what men like us should drink!"
"Why are you still so drunk after winning the battle?" His companion refused to accept it, "I think you could get drunk on your wedding night, and you won't even know if your wife ran away!"
The others laughed, and another person said: "Boy, you look unfamiliar, did you just come in a few days ago? How is the Qingyuan Sect in the Central Plains now? That small sect can't do anything, but wine making is a must." .”
Before Mei Qi answered, a one-eyed man smiled and said, "Old Ding is blowing again! Little brother, don't listen to him, he used to belong to the Qingyuan Sect."
Lao Ding was in a hurry: "Don't fucking talk nonsense! If I belong to that sect, I will be sent here..."
He talked and stopped talking, Cyclops smiled and said: "His Royal Highness Prince Ping is still a prince, isn't he imprisoned here like us?"
The big man who scratched his wound at the beginning sighed after hearing the words: "Forget it, don't talk about Qingyuanzong's wine, and don't talk about southern Huaguozi wine, as long as I can drink a sip of it without water, I will die without regret! "
Mei Qi said with a smile: "It seems that Ban Bi and Hui Niang are very kind-hearted, and they didn't want you to seek death, so they mixed water with you."
Everyone booed one after another, Dao Lao Chen really hit the dog shit luck, and Mrs. Hui took a fancy to it!Hui Niang was just coming out of the back kitchen with two soup bowls, when she heard this, she let out a yell, put the soup bowls on the table with a smile, and spilled a piece of hot soup with scattered oil residues.
Hui Niang is half of the wife.When Half Side first became Half Side, his wife and daughter got the news from nowhere and clamored to avenge him. The mother and daughter came to Pingcheng from southern Jiangxi with a threatening aura.The two dared to fight, and Pingcheng was short of manpower all the year round, so King Ping took it, and the pills and exercises were rewarded according to the same standard.When there is a battle, the two kill more fiercely than anyone else; usually, the two help half of the tavern, and they have been like this for more than 30 years.
Both Hui Niang and Ban Bi have cultivated the golden elixir, half of them look older because of missing limbs, but Hui Niang still has charm.In this city of exile where there are so few women, there are always soldiers who save money and come to the shop to buy a bowl of rice wine mixed with water, and drink it all day long because of Hui Niang's beauty; , he felt light on his face.
The two were so loving, but the daughter was not very lucky, and died on the battlefield about ten years ago.Hui Niang played frequently and lived a precarious life, so they didn't plan to ask for another one.
Hui Niang put down the bowl on an empty table, and shouted at the top of her voice.The group of people sitting around the fire over there sighed and said goodbye one after another, saying: "We are lonely, I really can't stand you and my wife!"
Mei Qi had nowhere to go, so she slowly took the bowl to the stove, and lazily put her feet up to take a nap.Hui Niang glanced at him, and laughed and scolded: "Stinky boy! My mother saw that your cultivation base is not weak, so I bought you a drink when I came back from the city all the way that day. Why did you stay with me for three or five days in a row? You are like this! His cultivation is not enough to be bullied in the barracks!"
Mei Qi was annoyed: "I paid for it!"
"What can you buy with that little money?" Hui Niang rolled his eyes at him, and beckoned him to come over and sit down, while still rambling, "Wine is a good thing in Pingcheng. You drink like this!"
Mei Qi had a displeased face, and murmured in response, but thought in her heart that it was only half a bowl of rice wine, and he wouldn't drink it in Lin'an.There is a bit of aura in the wine, but it is insignificant to him, it is not even useful for warming the stomach, it is not as good as his spontaneous aura of body protection.
After Hui Niang finished counting, she pushed him a small bowl and put a porcelain spoon in it.Mei Qi blinked her eyes, not knowing why.It happened that half of him came out with a cane on his side, and said with a smile:
"I invite you to eat. Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Lantern Festival. We and my wife see that you are young and you are alone. Why don't you celebrate the festival with us and add some joy."
Mei Qi thanked him, and said with a smile: "It's the first time someone asked me to cheer him up, Pingcheng is really different."
Hui Niang insisted on helping one side, and the latter used her hand to find a comfortable place in the broken cushion of the chair, and sighed with satisfaction: "Even if you are a broom star, we will The white-haired man of the couple also sent the black-haired man, let's see who kills the other first!"
Hui Niang cursed a few words of bad luck, and slapped half of her forehead.Mei Qi laughed a couple of times, picked up the bowl, looked at it for a while, and asked doubtfully, "What is this?"
Hui Niang raised her eyebrows and said: "Aren't you from Jiangnan? We southerners eat glutinous rice balls, and I heard that northerners eat Yuanxiao. ——Yes, does the young master not like to eat this, or is he unwilling to eat something of unknown origin? thing?"
"No, it's not!" She spoke narrowly in the second half of the sentence, but Mei Qi blushed, and finally found an excuse indiscriminately, "I'm practicing fast, so the golden core will be bigu, I haven't eaten for too long, I forgot Oh... woo, it's delicious!"
He hastily scooped up a not-so-white glutinous rice ball and stuffed it into his mouth. It wasn't too hot, and he cheered up after chewing a couple of mouthfuls.He has been fasting for a long time, but he still likes this kind of sweet food.Banbian and Huiniang saw that he didn't look like he was lying, so they laughed and started eating too.
There was light snow falling outside the tavern, and there were no pedestrians on the road, and a few sparks popped out of the stove.While stirring the soup, Hui Niang asked where Mei Qi was from and what her name was.Mei Qi said: "My name is Mei Qi, Qi of one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, from Lin'an."
"Lin'an is a good place!" Half sighed, and glanced at Hui Niang, "When we were young..."
"How could you, you were already thrown to Pingcheng at that time, and my old lady blocked the mountain gate by herself." Hui Niang gave him a blank look, shrinking her neck halfway, and changed the subject.
After Mei Qi finished eating, she was still a little embarrassed. After thinking for a long time, she found a bottle of ointment in the storage jade pendant and put it on the table, muttering, "I don't eat for nothing."
"The young man is trying to save face, his face is turning red!"
"no!"
Regardless of Mei Qi's argument, Hui Niang was not polite, she opened the medicine bottle and smelled it, her expression changed again and again.With a half-smile, he said: "What's the matter, Mrs. Hui? Could it be the intermittent magic medicine that can make me grow limbs?"
Hui Niang shook her head, plugged the stopper, and threw the medicine bottle back to Mei Qi.Mei Qi asked blankly: "Is this medicine not useful?"
Halfway through seeing the situation and understanding the situation, Hui Niang let out a long sigh: "It's too expensive, what's the value of this bowl of glutinous rice balls, let alone my wife and I invited you."
Mei Qi snorted, threw the bottle aside again, and said with a smile: "Then I invited it too. Anyway, I don't need it, so you guys said it, it's not about the money."
The couple looked at each other for a long time, Hui Niang's expression was still a bit complicated, half of her face suddenly smiled and said: "Why are there so many things! Since we are in Pingcheng, we are all comrades-in-arms, so you don't have to be polite. Boy, Mei Qi, are you full? "
"I'm full." Mei Qi smiled, "It's getting dark, I'm going back to sleep."
"Ah Qi is full, remember to kill a few more monsters." Hui Niang and Ban Bian looked at each other and said with a smile, "We have a small business in this small shop, and we don't even have new lanterns for Chinese New Year. Let's bring back the head of a small leader. I heard that the bones of those powerful monks will glow, if there is one hanging on the door, how impressive it will be!"
"That's true." Mei Qi thought about it seriously, nodded in response, waved to them, and said with a smile, "I'll come back tomorrow!"
Swinging out the door of the small dilapidated tavern, Mei Qi was still a little bit unsatisfied.It was the first time for him to eat glutinous rice balls, so whether it was low-quality black sesame or monster fat, he found it sweet and novel.But after all, there was a shortage of supplies in Pingcheng, and he was already very embarrassed after eating a bowl, and he had nothing else to do at this time, so he decided to go to the mansion in the city to enjoy the autumn breeze.
It just so happened that he had just arrived, and Pingcheng was very big, so he wandered around for a few days with a group of guys who didn't know if they were casual cultivators or soldiers, and he didn't know where he could live.Pingcheng and Lin'an are different everywhere, so it's not easy to mess around.
Mei Qi walked around the mansion, unable to understand the meaning of the words "Ping Wang's Mansion" at the main entrance, so she found a place where no one was around, restrained her breath and jumped into the entrance wall.
His toes skimmed over the fluffy and hard snow like sand, and disappeared into the night snow like a bird.
Mei Qi walked very carefully, he knew that there must be all kinds of powerful restrictions in such a house.Half an hour later, following the scent, I walked into the kitchen.Strange to say, he walked for so long, from the back door to the atrium and then into the kitchen on the side, without seeing a single servant, but a night pearl lit up in the kitchen. A good bowl of dim sum is still warm, it seems that the cook has left for a while.Whether it is the soup pot with the golden dragon handle, the round lid or the porcelain bowl, they are all luxurious and exquisite.
Mansions are just different.The glutinous rice skin of this dim sum is white and shiny, all of them are plump and round, although it seems to be similar to the dim sum that Hui Niang and his wife invited him to eat, the ingredients must be better.
Mei Qi counted and there were exactly seven white balls in the bowl, which were destined to be with him, so she unceremoniously picked up the small bowl and went out, crossing the threshold, and triumphantly threw one into her mouth.
He bumped into a person head-on, startled, but instinctively held the bowl in one hand and drew out the sword in the other; the man laughed, and his sword stopped in mid-air, unable to move.
Mei Qi was puzzled, she still chewed the snack and swallowed it stupidly.With such a strong cultivation base, the other party will definitely not trouble him for this bowl of dim sum, and there is still a big pot in the kitchen.Is it for the Seven Killing Sword?This sword is only useful to him, and other people can't tame it. Anyone who is a cultivator knows this, otherwise the Seven Killing Sword would not have been suppressed by the Mei family for nearly ten thousand years.
He raised his head to look at the person, and he understood: this is King Ping.
King Ping was wearing a black gown suit and a nine-pronged crown on his head. He was tall and tall; his face was about 30 years old, with black eyebrows flying slantingly, and his eyes were restrained. He was calm, elegant and heroic.Mahayana monks originally came and went quickly, and with the intention to restrain their breath, it was no wonder that Mei Qi would bump into him head-on.
A hint of amusement and dissimilarity appeared on the man's face, and he asked, "Are you...the one from the Lin'an Mei family?"
Mei Qi knew that this elder brother was actually a Mahayana old monster, so she took a step back, put away her long sword, nodded and said, "My name is Mei Qi. Are you King Ping?"
King Ping didn't care about the rudeness of the other party's words: "Exactly. But I asked Huang Mingyue to come to you five days ago, why did you come today?"
"Oh." Mei Qi said casually, "When I came back, I met a team of monsters, and that guy died."
King Ping was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "You are lucky. There are often small animal swarms in the south. If it is just a small team, I should congratulate you."
Mei Qi was also taken aback for a moment, he thought the standard answer was "Then why are you still alive", at this time the following routines of one, two, three and four were useless, so he simply didn't answer.
Seeing him stunned, King Ping laughed out loud.
Seeing that the other party was so easy to talk to, Mei Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and quibbled: "What snacks? This is my military salary. I have fought so many times in the past few days, and I have killed ninety if not a hundred monsters and monks. Your army camp is full of pills." No medicine was given."
King Ping raised his eyebrows and said, "First of all, you didn't make any preparations, and secondly, I made this bowl of Yuanxiao."
"No way?!" Mei Qi turned pale with shock, and immediately looked at King Ping suspiciously.King Ping laughed:
"On the first day you came to Pingcheng, you went out of the city to kill the world, and then you practiced elsewhere all day long, and you didn't come to register. So—"
He spread his hands, Mei Qi blushed.King Ping was still waiting for him to say something, but Mei Qi suddenly threw the soup bowl in his hand towards his face, while he was taking the bowl, he turned back a few feet and ran away.
Not to mention the advanced Mahayana stage, even when he was still refining Qi and building a foundation, King Ping had never been thrown a soup bowl in front of him.He laughed back angrily, and grabbed the boy with a casual hook.
Mei Qi was in a hurry. He thought that those old monsters who fit Mahayana would open up caves in high mountains and dense forests to practice in seclusion. No matter how bad they were, they would occupy the top of the mountain with the best spiritual energy in their sect. Living in such a magnificent house like a rich man!But he couldn't help himself. He was suspended in the air by an invisible force. He didn't dare to look at King Ping even when he lowered his head. He blushed and clasped his hands together, apologizing constantly: "Senior, I'm sorry! I didn't intend to offend you. I didn't know that Senior was practicing here. I am so impatient, please forgive the boy! From now on, the boy will devote himself to Pingcheng and die—"
When King Ping heard this, his eyes turned cold: "If this is not my mansion, but just an ordinary family, can you mess around?"
"No!" Seeing that he was still willing to listen to her own words, Mei Qi hurriedly explained while complimenting, "Senior, such an expert is naturally not interested in ordinary people's affairs. The boy was born in the secular world, and he only said these words with shallow knowledge. Ordinary The family is an ordinary family, and this belongs to the rich family. The reason why the rich people are rich is to oppress the poor. I misunderstood. I really have never met such an expert as you, that... Senior, you, please let me go !"
Speaking later, Mei Qi wailed and opened her left eye a crack, wanting to see King Ping's reaction.King Ping didn't know why, he felt that the young master seemed to be acting like a baby with him, and felt that what he said was somewhat reasonable, so he couldn't help laughing in his heart, but said calmly on his face: "Where are you from the secular world? That Huang Mingyue said Well, you are the only son of the eldest son of General Mei. The Mei family in Lin'an is a well-known family of cultivating immortals, and the Seven Killing Sword is also a rare high-grade spiritual weapon in the world."
Mei Qi said embarrassingly: "My parents passed away early, and no one else could use the Seven Killing Sword... If it wasn't for... I wouldn't have come..." At this point, he laughed and apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry, senior I didn't mean that-"
King Ping was a little bit worried by what he didn't say, "I won't come to Pingcheng". Thinking that what he said before probably poked the boy's sore spot, he put the other party down, and his tone softened: "Forget it. I don't want to pursue anything, after all There are also reasons why I didn't think carefully."
As soon as Mei Qi landed on the ground, she didn't rush to straighten up, she raised her head and smiled flatteringly.A strange feeling arose in King Ping's heart, and he remembered how many years ago, when he entered the world of mortals in order to seek the Tao, stray dogs begged for food like this.And this boy has red lips, white teeth, black eyebrows, seven parts of a girl's beauty and three parts of a boy's handsomeness, his cultivation level is not low, and he seems to be very skilled in begging for mercy.
Unexpectedly, King Ping smiled and said: "Today is the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month. General Chen Hong and I, Chen Hong, and the others just happened to ask you something. We have no relatives here. Let's have a Lantern Festival together."
As he spoke, he stuffed the soup bowl with only six Lantern Festivals left into Mei Qi's hand, went to the kitchen by himself and brought out the porcelain bowl with a round lid and gold handle, and then stacked four small bowls on top of it. He walked out the door briskly.Mei Qi followed him to a pavilion, the bowl of Lantern Festival in her hand was still hot.
Until then, Mei Qi smacked her lips quietly, feeling the sweet taste of the Lantern Festival just now.
Recently, there have been eight armed conflicts in a row between Pingcheng and the Seven Sages City established by the Yaozu. According to the usual practice, masters in the God Realm do not fight, but after several battles, many people died.In the afternoon, Pingcheng, which was already short of supplies, sometimes had no voices at all.
Mei Qi had just returned from fighting outside the city, her clothes were torn, and her muscles were wriggling and healing in the mud.He sat at the counter in the lobby of the tavern and asked the shopkeeper for half a bowl of rice wine.
The shopkeeper retired from the front line decades ago, had one arm and one leg chopped off, and survived the catastrophe. He opened a tavern at the back door of Prince Ping's Mansion, because he only had half of his body, so he was called so-and-so half by his colleagues.After so long, all the soldiers of his class died, no one remembered his surname, the war dragged on and on, and people yelled half as a shopkeeper and as an old man, so that he himself forgot.Mei Qi mentioned it once, your name is Banbian, why not take my surname as Mei, because there is no half side, the image is vivid and easy to remember.The shopkeeper hit his head with a cane.
Half of them can always get wine, and everyone recognizes it with some water-it's good to have wine.What's more, everyone is here for good luck.Don't look at people who are disabled, it is good luck to survive a catastrophe on the battlefield.
The shopkeeper jumped behind the curtain, and Mei Qi drank half a bowl of warm wine in one gulp, attracting the attention of several soldiers by the stove.A big man with an itchy wound and rubbing half of a dirty bandage smiled without malice, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Half the shopkeeper, this little brother is your son? You can mix his half bowl of wine with it." The water can give our brothers to drink for two days!"
Behind the old and clean curtain came a half-smile and scold: "Fuck you, get out!"
In Pingcheng, there are many people who know Seven Killing Sword, but few people know Mei Qi.Mei Qi didn't mind either, she stuck her tongue out at them, causing a howl: "How long has it been since I touched a woman..." That guy was ridiculed by his companion, Mei Qi smiled and said:
"Where are you from? I'm from Lin'an. When I win the battle, I'll invite you to drink there."
The big man picking at his wound shook his head and said, "What's so good about the wine in the south? It tastes like water in your stomach, and it's sweet for girls to eat. The strong wine in the north is what men like us should drink!"
"Why are you still so drunk after winning the battle?" His companion refused to accept it, "I think you could get drunk on your wedding night, and you won't even know if your wife ran away!"
The others laughed, and another person said: "Boy, you look unfamiliar, did you just come in a few days ago? How is the Qingyuan Sect in the Central Plains now? That small sect can't do anything, but wine making is a must." .”
Before Mei Qi answered, a one-eyed man smiled and said, "Old Ding is blowing again! Little brother, don't listen to him, he used to belong to the Qingyuan Sect."
Lao Ding was in a hurry: "Don't fucking talk nonsense! If I belong to that sect, I will be sent here..."
He talked and stopped talking, Cyclops smiled and said: "His Royal Highness Prince Ping is still a prince, isn't he imprisoned here like us?"
The big man who scratched his wound at the beginning sighed after hearing the words: "Forget it, don't talk about Qingyuanzong's wine, and don't talk about southern Huaguozi wine, as long as I can drink a sip of it without water, I will die without regret! "
Mei Qi said with a smile: "It seems that Ban Bi and Hui Niang are very kind-hearted, and they didn't want you to seek death, so they mixed water with you."
Everyone booed one after another, Dao Lao Chen really hit the dog shit luck, and Mrs. Hui took a fancy to it!Hui Niang was just coming out of the back kitchen with two soup bowls, when she heard this, she let out a yell, put the soup bowls on the table with a smile, and spilled a piece of hot soup with scattered oil residues.
Hui Niang is half of the wife.When Half Side first became Half Side, his wife and daughter got the news from nowhere and clamored to avenge him. The mother and daughter came to Pingcheng from southern Jiangxi with a threatening aura.The two dared to fight, and Pingcheng was short of manpower all the year round, so King Ping took it, and the pills and exercises were rewarded according to the same standard.When there is a battle, the two kill more fiercely than anyone else; usually, the two help half of the tavern, and they have been like this for more than 30 years.
Both Hui Niang and Ban Bi have cultivated the golden elixir, half of them look older because of missing limbs, but Hui Niang still has charm.In this city of exile where there are so few women, there are always soldiers who save money and come to the shop to buy a bowl of rice wine mixed with water, and drink it all day long because of Hui Niang's beauty; , he felt light on his face.
The two were so loving, but the daughter was not very lucky, and died on the battlefield about ten years ago.Hui Niang played frequently and lived a precarious life, so they didn't plan to ask for another one.
Hui Niang put down the bowl on an empty table, and shouted at the top of her voice.The group of people sitting around the fire over there sighed and said goodbye one after another, saying: "We are lonely, I really can't stand you and my wife!"
Mei Qi had nowhere to go, so she slowly took the bowl to the stove, and lazily put her feet up to take a nap.Hui Niang glanced at him, and laughed and scolded: "Stinky boy! My mother saw that your cultivation base is not weak, so I bought you a drink when I came back from the city all the way that day. Why did you stay with me for three or five days in a row? You are like this! His cultivation is not enough to be bullied in the barracks!"
Mei Qi was annoyed: "I paid for it!"
"What can you buy with that little money?" Hui Niang rolled his eyes at him, and beckoned him to come over and sit down, while still rambling, "Wine is a good thing in Pingcheng. You drink like this!"
Mei Qi had a displeased face, and murmured in response, but thought in her heart that it was only half a bowl of rice wine, and he wouldn't drink it in Lin'an.There is a bit of aura in the wine, but it is insignificant to him, it is not even useful for warming the stomach, it is not as good as his spontaneous aura of body protection.

Mei Qi thanked him, and said with a smile: "It's the first time someone asked me to cheer him up, Pingcheng is really different."
Hui Niang insisted on helping one side, and the latter used her hand to find a comfortable place in the broken cushion of the chair, and sighed with satisfaction: "Even if you are a broom star, we will The white-haired man of the couple also sent the black-haired man, let's see who kills the other first!"
Hui Niang cursed a few words of bad luck, and slapped half of her forehead.Mei Qi laughed a couple of times, picked up the bowl, looked at it for a while, and asked doubtfully, "What is this?"
Hui Niang raised her eyebrows and said: "Aren't you from Jiangnan? We southerners eat glutinous rice balls, and I heard that northerners eat Yuanxiao. ——Yes, does the young master not like to eat this, or is he unwilling to eat something of unknown origin? thing?"
"No, it's not!" She spoke narrowly in the second half of the sentence, but Mei Qi blushed, and finally found an excuse indiscriminately, "I'm practicing fast, so the golden core will be bigu, I haven't eaten for too long, I forgot Oh... woo, it's delicious!"
He hastily scooped up a not-so-white glutinous rice ball and stuffed it into his mouth. It wasn't too hot, and he cheered up after chewing a couple of mouthfuls.He has been fasting for a long time, but he still likes this kind of sweet food.Banbian and Huiniang saw that he didn't look like he was lying, so they laughed and started eating too.
There was light snow falling outside the tavern, and there were no pedestrians on the road, and a few sparks popped out of the stove.While stirring the soup, Hui Niang asked where Mei Qi was from and what her name was.Mei Qi said: "My name is Mei Qi, Qi of one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, from Lin'an."
"Lin'an is a good place!" Half sighed, and glanced at Hui Niang, "When we were young..."
"How could you, you were already thrown to Pingcheng at that time, and my old lady blocked the mountain gate by herself." Hui Niang gave him a blank look, shrinking her neck halfway, and changed the subject.
After Mei Qi finished eating, she was still a little embarrassed. After thinking for a long time, she found a bottle of ointment in the storage jade pendant and put it on the table, muttering, "I don't eat for nothing."
"The young man is trying to save face, his face is turning red!"
"no!"
Regardless of Mei Qi's argument, Hui Niang was not polite, she opened the medicine bottle and smelled it, her expression changed again and again.With a half-smile, he said: "What's the matter, Mrs. Hui? Could it be the intermittent magic medicine that can make me grow limbs?"
Hui Niang shook her head, plugged the stopper, and threw the medicine bottle back to Mei Qi.Mei Qi asked blankly: "Is this medicine not useful?"
Halfway through seeing the situation and understanding the situation, Hui Niang let out a long sigh: "It's too expensive, what's the value of this bowl of glutinous rice balls, let alone my wife and I invited you."
Mei Qi snorted, threw the bottle aside again, and said with a smile: "Then I invited it too. Anyway, I don't need it, so you guys said it, it's not about the money."
The couple looked at each other for a long time, Hui Niang's expression was still a bit complicated, half of her face suddenly smiled and said: "Why are there so many things! Since we are in Pingcheng, we are all comrades-in-arms, so you don't have to be polite. Boy, Mei Qi, are you full? "
"I'm full." Mei Qi smiled, "It's getting dark, I'm going back to sleep."
"Ah Qi is full, remember to kill a few more monsters." Hui Niang and Ban Bian looked at each other and said with a smile, "We have a small business in this small shop, and we don't even have new lanterns for Chinese New Year. Let's bring back the head of a small leader. I heard that the bones of those powerful monks will glow, if there is one hanging on the door, how impressive it will be!"
"That's true." Mei Qi thought about it seriously, nodded in response, waved to them, and said with a smile, "I'll come back tomorrow!"
Swinging out the door of the small dilapidated tavern, Mei Qi was still a little bit unsatisfied.It was the first time for him to eat glutinous rice balls, so whether it was low-quality black sesame or monster fat, he found it sweet and novel.But after all, there was a shortage of supplies in Pingcheng, and he was already very embarrassed after eating a bowl, and he had nothing else to do at this time, so he decided to go to the mansion in the city to enjoy the autumn breeze.
It just so happened that he had just arrived, and Pingcheng was very big, so he wandered around for a few days with a group of guys who didn't know if they were casual cultivators or soldiers, and he didn't know where he could live.Pingcheng and Lin'an are different everywhere, so it's not easy to mess around.
Mei Qi walked around the mansion, unable to understand the meaning of the words "Ping Wang's Mansion" at the main entrance, so she found a place where no one was around, restrained her breath and jumped into the entrance wall.
His toes skimmed over the fluffy and hard snow like sand, and disappeared into the night snow like a bird.
Mei Qi walked very carefully, he knew that there must be all kinds of powerful restrictions in such a house.Half an hour later, following the scent, I walked into the kitchen.Strange to say, he walked for so long, from the back door to the atrium and then into the kitchen on the side, without seeing a single servant, but a night pearl lit up in the kitchen. A good bowl of dim sum is still warm, it seems that the cook has left for a while.Whether it is the soup pot with the golden dragon handle, the round lid or the porcelain bowl, they are all luxurious and exquisite.
Mansions are just different.The glutinous rice skin of this dim sum is white and shiny, all of them are plump and round, although it seems to be similar to the dim sum that Hui Niang and his wife invited him to eat, the ingredients must be better.
Mei Qi counted and there were exactly seven white balls in the bowl, which were destined to be with him, so she unceremoniously picked up the small bowl and went out, crossing the threshold, and triumphantly threw one into her mouth.
He bumped into a person head-on, startled, but instinctively held the bowl in one hand and drew out the sword in the other; the man laughed, and his sword stopped in mid-air, unable to move.
Mei Qi was puzzled, she still chewed the snack and swallowed it stupidly.With such a strong cultivation base, the other party will definitely not trouble him for this bowl of dim sum, and there is still a big pot in the kitchen.Is it for the Seven Killing Sword?This sword is only useful to him, and other people can't tame it. Anyone who is a cultivator knows this, otherwise the Seven Killing Sword would not have been suppressed by the Mei family for nearly ten thousand years.
He raised his head to look at the person, and he understood: this is King Ping.
King Ping was wearing a black gown suit and a nine-pronged crown on his head. He was tall and tall; his face was about 30 years old, with black eyebrows flying slantingly, and his eyes were restrained. He was calm, elegant and heroic.Mahayana monks originally came and went quickly, and with the intention to restrain their breath, it was no wonder that Mei Qi would bump into him head-on.
A hint of amusement and dissimilarity appeared on the man's face, and he asked, "Are you...the one from the Lin'an Mei family?"
Mei Qi knew that this elder brother was actually a Mahayana old monster, so she took a step back, put away her long sword, nodded and said, "My name is Mei Qi. Are you King Ping?"
King Ping didn't care about the rudeness of the other party's words: "Exactly. But I asked Huang Mingyue to come to you five days ago, why did you come today?"
"Oh." Mei Qi said casually, "When I came back, I met a team of monsters, and that guy died."
King Ping was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "You are lucky. There are often small animal swarms in the south. If it is just a small team, I should congratulate you."
Mei Qi was also taken aback for a moment, he thought the standard answer was "Then why are you still alive", at this time the following routines of one, two, three and four were useless, so he simply didn't answer.
Seeing him stunned, King Ping laughed out loud.
Seeing that the other party was so easy to talk to, Mei Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and quibbled: "What snacks? This is my military salary. I have fought so many times in the past few days, and I have killed ninety if not a hundred monsters and monks. Your army camp is full of pills." No medicine was given."
King Ping raised his eyebrows and said, "First of all, you didn't make any preparations, and secondly, I made this bowl of Yuanxiao."
"No way?!" Mei Qi turned pale with shock, and immediately looked at King Ping suspiciously.King Ping laughed:
"On the first day you came to Pingcheng, you went out of the city to kill the world, and then you practiced elsewhere all day long, and you didn't come to register. So—"
He spread his hands, Mei Qi blushed.King Ping was still waiting for him to say something, but Mei Qi suddenly threw the soup bowl in his hand towards his face, while he was taking the bowl, he turned back a few feet and ran away.
Not to mention the advanced Mahayana stage, even when he was still refining Qi and building a foundation, King Ping had never been thrown a soup bowl in front of him.He laughed back angrily, and grabbed the boy with a casual hook.
Mei Qi was in a hurry. He thought that those old monsters who fit Mahayana would open up caves in high mountains and dense forests to practice in seclusion. No matter how bad they were, they would occupy the top of the mountain with the best spiritual energy in their sect. Living in such a magnificent house like a rich man!But he couldn't help himself. He was suspended in the air by an invisible force. He didn't dare to look at King Ping even when he lowered his head. He blushed and clasped his hands together, apologizing constantly: "Senior, I'm sorry! I didn't intend to offend you. I didn't know that Senior was practicing here. I am so impatient, please forgive the boy! From now on, the boy will devote himself to Pingcheng and die—"
When King Ping heard this, his eyes turned cold: "If this is not my mansion, but just an ordinary family, can you mess around?"
"No!" Seeing that he was still willing to listen to her own words, Mei Qi hurriedly explained while complimenting, "Senior, such an expert is naturally not interested in ordinary people's affairs. The boy was born in the secular world, and he only said these words with shallow knowledge. Ordinary The family is an ordinary family, and this belongs to the rich family. The reason why the rich people are rich is to oppress the poor. I misunderstood. I really have never met such an expert as you, that... Senior, you, please let me go !"
Speaking later, Mei Qi wailed and opened her left eye a crack, wanting to see King Ping's reaction.King Ping didn't know why, he felt that the young master seemed to be acting like a baby with him, and felt that what he said was somewhat reasonable, so he couldn't help laughing in his heart, but said calmly on his face: "Where are you from the secular world? That Huang Mingyue said Well, you are the only son of the eldest son of General Mei. The Mei family in Lin'an is a well-known family of cultivating immortals, and the Seven Killing Sword is also a rare high-grade spiritual weapon in the world."
Mei Qi said embarrassingly: "My parents passed away early, and no one else could use the Seven Killing Sword... If it wasn't for... I wouldn't have come..." At this point, he laughed and apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry, senior I didn't mean that-"
King Ping was a little bit worried by what he didn't say, "I won't come to Pingcheng". Thinking that what he said before probably poked the boy's sore spot, he put the other party down, and his tone softened: "Forget it. I don't want to pursue anything, after all There are also reasons why I didn't think carefully."
As soon as Mei Qi landed on the ground, she didn't rush to straighten up, she raised her head and smiled flatteringly.A strange feeling arose in King Ping's heart, and he remembered how many years ago, when he entered the world of mortals in order to seek the Tao, stray dogs begged for food like this.And this boy has red lips, white teeth, black eyebrows, seven parts of a girl's beauty and three parts of a boy's handsomeness, his cultivation level is not low, and he seems to be very skilled in begging for mercy.
Unexpectedly, King Ping smiled and said: "Today is the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month. General Chen Hong and I, Chen Hong, and the others just happened to ask you something. We have no relatives here. Let's have a Lantern Festival together."
As he spoke, he stuffed the soup bowl with only six Lantern Festivals left into Mei Qi's hand, went to the kitchen by himself and brought out the porcelain bowl with a round lid and gold handle, and then stacked four small bowls on top of it. He walked out the door briskly.Mei Qi followed him to a pavilion, the bowl of Lantern Festival in her hand was still hot.
Until then, Mei Qi smacked her lips quietly, feeling the sweet taste of the Lantern Festival just now.
