always a fairy

Chapter 1

Shaoyang Dynasty.

Jingzhou, Fenyang City.

Under the Hanging Mountain, outside Jiuhua Village.

In the twilight, the trees and yellowed branches and leaves paint a beautiful scenery. When the sun is about to rest, the moonlight in the distance picks up, but the blood-red sunset has not yet left.

The flowing water under the mountain stream is gurgling and the terrain is steep. Although it is located in the north, the hanging mountain is located in the south of the Yellow River. It is humid all year round and the quicksand is splashed. There was a natural danger.

The surface of these stone walls is rough to the touch, but only experienced herb pickers understand that this is a natural trap.A thin layer of sand is formed on the stone wall. If you step on it and step off this layer of sand, the extremely smooth stone surface will be exposed, and you will be unable to support it, and you will fall down the mountain stream and into the turbulent water.

So even if there are countless rare herbs here, no one will take the risk of death to get them. Even the immortals on the Hanging Mountain who can fly over the walls will not risk their lives in vain.

But there are always exceptions to everything, and Bai Yujing is that exception.

Bai Yujing is not in the sky, but on the cliff.

At this time, a rope was wrapped around his waist, and his whole body had fallen into a pothole in the mountain stream. His feet stepped on the surface of the stone surface. The force was just right, and the sand surface on the upper layer of the rock wall was not damaged. It can also keep your body balanced and evenly stressed.

With this skill, he and his mother could not starve to death.

This is physical work, and it is a bold and careful one. Even if you are timid, looking down is enough to make your legs weak when you are scared by the turbulent undercurrent. But at this time, there is no worry on his face , and even gently hummed a tune unique to the north.

With his left hand, he calmly took out the short grass scythe, and with a light tap, he took out the roots of a nine-leaf, three-flowered and five-bearded herb. With a light flick of his wrist, the herb went into the small frame tied to his wrist. .

Bai Yujing looked at it excitedly, and thought: "The price of asparagus grass has risen for some reason in recent days, and one tail can sell for a few taels of silver. Today is just right, and this tail with nine leaves, three flowers and five whiskers has matured." , I reckon it will cost five or six taels of silver, which is enough for Daoist Xue. '

'Tsk tsk tsk, it's enough to make new clothes for my mother for three years. '

Bai Yujing put away the sickle, glanced at the still dense herbs on the cliff, and his eyes fell on the largest one, the asparagus with nine leaves, nine flowers and nine beards.

That is the grass king here. When Bai Yujing found it, it was still a seedling. Bai Yujing didn't pick it back then, but moved it here from the hillside with the soil and seedlings. Maybe it wanted to thank you. Now the whole Asparagus grows on the cliffs.

This has also become Bai Yujing's stable and only source of survival.

Bai Yujing would not pick it unless it was absolutely necessary.

He is not a greedy person.

He jumped up and climbed up the cliff in twos and threes. He packed up the scattered tools and put them on his back. Before night fell, he hurriedly set foot on the road to Fenyang City.

The moon and stars are dense, the dusk is gradually coming to an end, and the crisp orioles are singing and singing, Bai Yujing is in the right mood.

Every time he went to Fenyang City, he was always in a good mood.

Being able to make money is a small matter, but being able to see the Sword Immortal Temple is a big matter.

Legend has it that a hundred years ago, a peerless sword fairy came out of Fenyang City. His swordsmanship was the best in the world, and he was the only one who dared to be called a fairy. Later, he chose to live in seclusion for some reason.

This famous Sword Immortal was born in Fenyang City, and ended up living in seclusion as early as Fenyang City. This turned this remote city into a bustling city, and Hanging Mountain became a place for the Sword Immortal to retreat. It is sought after by later generations, and it is said that there is a great opportunity hidden here.

Up to now, there is no one in Fenyang City who does not know that there was once a sword fairy here, and Bai Yujing grew up listening to the story of the sword fairy: resisting three thousand demons to protect the people with one's own strength. After ten days and ten nights of fighting against the top masters of the Sixteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, he returned with a decisive victory. The Spear Fairy of the Shaoyang Dynasty challenged the Sword Fairy, but lost in just three moves.

Bai Yujing listened to these legends again and again, and never got tired of hearing them. Every time he heard them, his heart was surging and he was extremely excited.

Every year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, Fenyang City will hold a waiting meeting and gather in the Sword Immortal Temple to worship.

He has become a fairy in the hearts of the people.

Bai Yujing also wanted to become a sword fairy.

If you want to become an immortal, entering the Xuankong Mountain Gate is the best way. Unfortunately, Bai Yujing has not opened his veins for eighteen years. According to common sense, he is not a disciple of the immortal way, but he has not given up, so he uses his own ability to help these immortals Gather the asparagus grass that is not easy to pick, in exchange for some favors.

Kung Fu pays off, he heard a good news, every year Xuankong Mountain will trade some fairy materials with other sects, among them is the Kaimai Pill needed to open the veins, this medicine is expensive, but if you have acquaintances , can be very cheap.

Of course Bai Yujing has acquaintances.

Fenyang City is not far from Jiuhua Village, it only takes more than an hour's journey.

Bai Yujing's goal is Huayue Tower, where sits a monk named Xue Can on Hanging Mountain, who is a few years older than him, and was once a villager in Jiuhua Village. Then he was accepted by Xuankong Mountain and became a serious cultivator.

Having attained enlightenment alone, Xue Can took his parents to live in the city and bought a big house, completely getting rid of his status as a poor peasant.

Xue Can is his acquaintance.

Every time Bai Yujing sees him, a burning feeling of envy will spontaneously arise in his heart.

"Hey!"

When Bai Yujing arrived outside the gate of Huayue Tower, he was stopped by a light voice. He turned his head and saw a lively and lovely girl, so he smiled and said hello, "Master Lin."

"Let me tell you, you can just call me Xiyue. What kind of Daoist is not Daoist? Shengfen!" Lin Xiyue chuckled, pointed at the medicine basket in Bai Yujing's hand, pouted and said with a smirk: "It's the dragon again." Is it Sukuo?"

"Yes."

Bai Yujing is not shy. Lin Xiyue is also a Taoist priest on Hanging Mountain. She came to Jiuhua Village to look for Xue Can, and she had dinner at her own home. Later, Bai Yujing collected medicine for Xue Can, so naturally she became acquainted with her. .

Since she wanted to see it, Bai Yujing didn't hide it, and directly took out the herbs she picked.

"Wow! Nine leaves and three flowers...five beards?" Lin Xiyue did not hide her surprised face at all. On her clean and aura-filled face, she exclaimed: "I am afraid that you are the only one in Fenyang City who can pick this thing." Got it, sell it to me? I'll give you ten taels of silver!"

Ten taels of silver!

This amount of money is enough for Bai Yujing and his old lady to eat meat every day for a year.

But Bai Yujing was not bought by the money. Instead, he declined with a smile and said: "If the Taoist priest still wants it, I will go up the mountain to pick it tomorrow, and then I will look for it. This tail has already been reserved by Taoist Xue." gone."

Lin Xiyue sighed and said, "Hey, it's hard to find such a good thing, and it's hard for ordinary people to enter the hanging mountains...Huh? Tomorrow?"

She seemed to have thought of something, and said with a smile, "It's too late tomorrow, so just sell this to me, I'll pay... 13 taels!"

Although Bai Yujing was shocked, he quickly refused, shook his head and said, "Master Lin, being entrusted with loyalty is not a matter of money."

"Aren't you short of money? 15 taels! This is the final price! Don't be greedy." Lin Xiyue's expression turned ugly.

Bai Yujing was worried about offending the Taoist priest on this mountain. After all, he still thought that he would be able to enter the Hanging Mountain at that time, so he was very worried, and said in a low voice: "Daozhang Lin, I am very short of money, but..."

He was still thinking of a way to reject Lin Xiyue, and hearty laughter sounded behind him, "Hahaha, senior sister is still so cute, she likes to make fun of Xiaobai."

Only then did Bai Yujing heave a sigh of relief, the right owner of this thing has come.

Xue Can was a man of great talent, with a portrait of a well-educated Confucian scholar, he walked down with a folding fan lightly, took out a bag of silver, and handed it to Bai Yujing, "Brother, since you also know that this thing is valuable, plus this paragraph There is a shortage in the time gate, so I won’t hide it from you, you can take the money.”

Bai Yujing took the silver and did not count it, but handed the asparagus grass to Xue Can respectfully, "Daoist Xue, can you see if there is any problem?"

Xue Can picked up the medicine basket and looked at it. A satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he said with satisfaction: "Not bad! Very good. You have worked so hard this time, Xiaobai."

Bai Yujing scratched his head: "Where?"

He opened the silver bag, and suddenly found that there were ten taels of silver here, and hurriedly grabbed Xue Can who was about to leave, "Daoist Xue...the money is wrong..."

Xue Can glanced at Lin Xiyue at the side, she showed a sighing smile at the same time, and he looked at Bai Yujing again, "Okay, I'll give you some more..."

"No, no, ten taels of silver is too much. We agreed on five taels, and that's five taels. Any extra penny is considered a violation of the rules. I'll do things for you, not because I'm going to sell it to you. So it's none of my business how much it's worth, I'm not one for money."

Bai Yujing picked up the extra five taels of silver and handed it to Xue Can, and turned the silver bag in his and Lin Xiyue's hands in surprise, "I can accept this silver bag, after all, it's always packed Broken silver, it is not easy to travel, and it is always lost, if Daoist Xue doesn't dislike it, then consider it a gift for me."

Xue Can and Lin Xiyue looked at each other, they were puzzled, but suddenly smiled.

In fact, Bai Yujing knew in his heart that he could not afford to owe the favors of these people, and that he wanted Kaimai Pill, an extremely precious medicinal material, which should be regarded as a great favor. Xue Can could promise himself to pay attention to Kaimai Pill, which is already a big deal. How dare you waste your face for the few taels of silver in front of you?
Just when Bai Yujing was about to leave, Xue Can suddenly walked up to him, and said with a serious expression: "Brother Bai, it's getting late now, and monsters are rampant outside the city these days, so it's very unsafe, it's better to rest for one night before leaving It's not too late."

Bai Yujing just wanted to refuse, but Lin Xiyue on the side looked joyful and said: "Oh, by the way, it will be a change of seasons, so Auntie's clothes must not be custom-made yet, right? Now that I have money, I'd better make some. It is colder in previous years, and I happen to have a tailor shop that I am very close to, and if I lead you there, the boss will definitely look at my face and give you a cheaper one."

Bai Yujing let out an ah, and quickly thanked the two of them, wanting to say, "But my mother is still waiting for me to go home." But after thinking about it, my mother always said that her legs and feet were sore these days, and she was afraid it was caused by the cold weather. She made the clothes and took them back. The mother must be happy, so she nodded and agreed, "Don't bother Lin Daochang, I will Just go."

Lin Xiyue smiled and said, "Okay, I'll show you the way."

Seeing the excited Bai Yujing leave, Lin Xiyue returned to Xue Can's side, tilted her head and said, "Can't bear it?"

The smile on Xue Can's face slowly dissipated, and his face sank, "Master said that what is most lacking these days is not genius, but chivalry. He has chivalry in his heart. I shouldn't let him die like this."

Lin Xiyue said with a smile: "I thought you found out because of your conscience, but in fact you just wanted to alleviate your sins. Master wanted the lives of everyone in Jiuhua Village in order to unite the demon-killing formation and the corpse slave seal to unite the hearts of these people." Soul, you can easily defeat the enemy and kill the monster outside the city. Once you get the eighth-rank demon pill, the master can be promoted to seventh-rank. You can let go of one person, and I will inform you if there are more. "

Xue Can sighed and laughed, "Pigs will never understand the relationship between the person who wants to kill them with a sharp knife and the person who gives him three meals a day. Whatever protection they have, they will be restricted." , Those who can shield them from the wind and rain can also keep them from seeing the sun. I have no sins, the one who is guilty is the Dao of Heaven."

With a flick of his sleeves, he walked into Huayue Tower without looking back.

Lin Xiyue shook her head, "You are indeed a good apprentice of Master."

　The new book is on the road, please take care of me.

　　If you have no other skills, you will become tense every day.
