Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 273 Chihuo Bixiao

Just as Pei Ye was about to answer, the door was suddenly pushed open and a girl walked in.

It was Yi Chengxin who was on the stage just now, who had changed out of his costume. Pei Ye already guessed that she was young when she was putting on makeup, but now it turned out that she was no more than sixteen or seventeen years old.

The girl's appearance is even more beautiful than her make-up, with a thin body and fair skin, and a calm and quiet expression, just like the celestial orchid in the play. Her eyes swept across Ji Yun and Pei Ye's faces, and finally stopped on the old man.

"Have all the guests been served?"

The girl's quiet temperament seemed to permeate the room. The old man who had been smiling freely just now said softly, "Sit down for a while?"

But Yi Chengxin shook his head, looked squarely at the old man, and bowed politely.

"."

The girl's voice was also clear and calm: "I have been under the master's apprentice for three years. I have been taught diligently, and my dull talents have benefited from it. Now I must stay away and never see you again. May my teacher be blessed with immortal blessings - endless poverty, limited time, never Injury and fatigue.”

There was real sadness on the old man's face, and he whispered: "When will the good time come?"

"The day after tomorrow."

"." The old man lowered his eyebrows and sighed softly, "You are the most spiritual child I have ever taught. To us, singing is a skill that helps us live a good life, but it is useless to you. If you really marry alone, remember to change your appearance to be hot on the outside and cold on the inside. If you have a good temper and manage your life well, you will be in a comfortable position."

Yi Chengxin straightened up and bowed again: "Opera is my true love, and I am willing to devote my life to it. Unfortunately, the fate is not right, and we are the same. I have no choice but to leave my husband's lap."

".You've been busy with wedding ceremony and wedding ceremony for the past two days, right?"

"Yes."

".I will go and say goodbye to you the day after tomorrow."

"Thank you sir." The girl bowed three times and said, "Farewell."

The old man stood up and said, "I'll send you off."

"Sir, please stop."

The girl turned back to look at the old man, and finally lowered her eyebrows: "Back then, my brother brought me to my husband through this door, so today I will say goodbye through this door."

"That's fine too."

The girl turned and left, leaving only silence in the room.

Pei Ye looked at the sad and angry expressions of the old man and Ji Yun, and said softly: "I just heard someone said that Miss Yi is going to marry far away. Is this marriage unharmonious?"

The old man sighed softly, and Ji Yun's eyebrows stood up: "What kind of marriage? It's obviously selling my daughter!"

"."

"There is a fat pig over there in Xilong who is obsessed with flowers and willows all day long!" Ji Yun gritted his teeth and said, "I came here to discuss business a few years ago and fell in love with my junior sister. Since then, she has been harassing her every month! Originally, the Yi family did not relent, but recently they have given it to Ji The Yi family relented because of the heavy betrothal gift!"

The old man did not mention the family affairs, but sighed softly: "Chengxin is a smart boy with a good heart, but he seems to have two hearts. One is born in the world, and the other is born in the sky."

"When I sent her here, her brother told me that she had no interest in anything since she was a child. She fell in love with opera that day, and hoped that I could make her really fall in love with it. The obsession and joy she has now when singing opera cannot fool anyone, but..."

"I really can't bear to leave her." The old man lowered his eyebrows.

----

Pei Ye took the script and walked out of the theater.

He originally wanted to look around in the room and pay the money, but the old man insisted on asking him to take it and look at it.

"We have something to talk about now. The theater is closed during the matinee." The old man managed a smile from his sadness and said gently to the young man, "You can take it and see for yourself first, and we can have a good chat when we come back in the evening."

So Pei Ye left first. When he came to the stage, he saw the girl walking out of the door against the light. Behind her, in the dark and deserted stage, two leading figures were slowly walking down the stairs.

Pei Ye walked on the streets of Qiujiu City and headed towards the "Longmen Tower" in the direction pointed by Xiaosheng before. He planned to pay a visit to "Master Kou" first and ask for news.

Looking at the playbook in his hand, every detail of the performance was clearly listed, including the scene layout and the flow of the soundtrack. However, Pei Ye didn't look at this. He turned over the lyrics carefully, trying to find out. Some clues.

To be fair, Pei Ye has read a lot more elegant books in the past month. In the past, he could also read playbooks, but he could only read some simple and vulgar ones. Now he can even guess and guess the lyrics with elegant lyrics. Take a look.

After turning over like this, it was no different from the performance on the stage. Suddenly, there was an inexplicable feeling of roundness and fullness in his belly. Pei Ye was startled and stood on the spot.

"Chihuoyuan" took shape.

Ever since the black cat injected him with the last chi blood that day, the black and magnificent ball in his belly had become completely complete and attached to the bottom of the meridian tree.

However, the black cat said at that time that it would take two days for it to be assimilated into this body, and then it would be able to move freely.

At this time, the "assimilation" had been completed, and Ruoyouruowu's slender blue flames grew on it. Pei Ye felt the sudden addition of something controllable in his body. His consciousness went deeper and he felt three differences. origin of.

What Black Cat explained to him in detail that day, Pei Ye thought he could copy it and publish a book called "Black Cat Fire Solution", and write Pei Ye as his signature.

It says that all fires in the world fall into five categories, namely physical fire, qi fire, mysterious fire, heart fire and Tao fire.

The basis for its division is the thing burned. "Object fire" is burned by real things, "qi fire" is burned by true energy and the like, and "mysterious fire" is supported by the spiritual and mysterious heaven and earth. As for the two categories of heart and Tao, this explanation can be roughly made, but its mystery is difficult to explain in detail.

Most of the first three types of fire are limited to their own attributes, that is, things are things, Qi is Qi, and Xuan is Xuan. Only a few of these magical flames have "Tao" qualifications and can connect with other types to create the legendary "Tao fire".

As for "heart fire", they all have "Tao" qualifications.

In this way, Hei Chi pointed out to him the end of the world's fire path - physical fire, qi fire, mysterious fire, and heart fire. If you master the four types of magical flames, then all the fire in the world will be under your hands, because you can climb the steps and control them. [Taohuo].

[Chi Fire] is the legendary "Passage Mysterious Fire".

And if we ignore these higher paths for the time being, the development and use of [Chi Fire] itself, which is the immortal fire obtained from the Immortal Hunting Contract, is already a science.

According to Black Cat, [Chi Fire] has three characteristics.

First, chi fire is the best spiritual fire in the world.

Second, the chi fire is visible, but it does not have any temperature, nor is it subject to any perception except sight.

Third, Chi Fire can absorb other fires without "Tao Qualifications", acquire their characteristics, and complete its own growth.

When Pei Ye heard this, he immediately recalled the blue flames used by the Zhushi Sect. The difference between them and the blue flames used by Hei Chi turned out to be the third point.

The support of the chi fire when it burns is the spirit of heaven and earth, and the one in Pei Ye's belly is special. It comes from three sources, which are exactly the three places that Pei Ye touched when his consciousness went deeper.

First, the source of Chi Fire is originally born from the essence and blood of Shen Chi, and it has the ability to absorb and reserve profound energy. The most direct source of profound energy when Chi Fire burns is here. This fire source is symbiotic with the black chi. As the black chi grows, its ability to store and absorb profound energy will also grow simultaneously.

Pei Ye felt it. The black cat's true body weighed a hundred kilograms at this time, and the profound energy in his body was exactly equivalent to the energy of the Meridian Tree's lifetime, so this chi fire source was also equivalent to it.

However, Xuan Qi and Zhen Qi are two types of energy that are essentially different. At the meridian tree stage, the "Royal Envoy Xuan Qi" itself is an ability that transcends the current level. No matter how small it is, it is enough to make the opponent helpless.

Secondly, under the fate of the same fate, the Chi fire source can actually be considered as an "organ" shared by Pei Ye and Hei Chi. It grows in both bodies at the same time. Pei Ye can borrow the energy in Hei Chi's body through this connection. Xuanqi comes to supply Chihuo.

The above one and two are like two interconnected pools.

The third is Pei Ye's own unique channel.

By absorbing the mysterious energy from the outside world through the "endowment" in the belly, the Chi fire source attached to it can be borrowed without returning it. However, this path can only support some continuous burning and cannot complete the explosion after saving.

At this time, the black cat also sensed the formation of the fire source, and its calm voice came from its belly: "[Chi Fire] is the so-called 'Spiritual Fire'. Every time it swallows a flame, its characteristics will accumulate or merge. Spirituality and temperature will superimpose. When the spirit reaches Mingxuan and the heat reaches Yangzhen, it can ignite all things and become the natural enemy of all mysterious formations, magic weapons, and spiritual arts."

"What are 'Mingxuan' and 'Yangzhen'?"

"Go and read "Knowing Spirits" and "Fire Sutra"." "Oh."

"Let's pick an ordinary fire first - Reda's 'Yili', Lingpiao's 'Poor', and your chi fire has stepped into the threshold."

Pei Ye closed the playbook and arrived at the Longmen Tower in the middle of Qijiu City.

It is six stories high, with a wide gate and a large courtyard. It is powerful and deep. It is the residence of the powerful people of Erli Qijiu City. Pedestrians on the road subconsciously give way when passing by.

At this time, the sky was just turning yellow, and the candles in front of the door were already lit. Pei Ye stretched out his hand and touched the fireworks. There was a flash of light and dark. When he took it back, he gave a fist-cup salute to the guardian who was looking at him.

He said with a smile: "Young man Tutu, I have heard of my reputation for a long time, and I would like to come in to pay homage to Lord Kou. Please make it easier for me."
-

In Bixiao Pavilion, the black cat stretched slightly and lay back on the table.

There was no one in the room, and while tea was brewing, the girl came a little early, waiting for the big shopkeeper to finish his work.

She looked at the kitten carefully and curiously, but still didn't understand the meaning of Pei Ye's "can send messages".

Now she knew that the boy was full of magical things, and this inseparable kitten must also have its own peculiarities. However, the girl looked left and right along the way. Apart from her refined temperament and black and beautiful jade, she really didn't see anything more. How different.

This cat seems to be quite intelligent. Could it be that it is well-trained and can deliver letters back to its owner?

But it’s such a small one, it looks like it’s only one or two months old, so how young does it have to start training?

It's so pitiful.

Li Mingqing held her chin and leaned towards the table, stretched out a finger and gently poked its soft butt.

The black cat remained motionless.

But the girl was a little happy - it would avoid it in the past.

I couldn't help but poke it gently again.

Then the black cat raised a pair of clear blue eyes and looked at her quietly: "Are you okay?"

"."

"."

"Ah——" Li Mingqing let out a short scream, widened her almond-shaped eyes and covered her mouth, "You, you, you."

The black cat has laid back on its head.

Li Mingqing stared straight at the cat, as if frozen. It wasn't until the front door was suddenly pushed open that she came back to her senses in shock. She glanced at the kitten again and then turned to look at the person.

Not the big shopkeeper, but a new guest, a beautiful girl in her 28s, with red eyebrows, thin and fair skin, and a gentle and quiet temperament.

Li Mingqing temporarily put aside the "monster" thing just now, looked at the girl, but was stunned again.

It wasn't until the other party came to look at her that she couldn't help but open her eyes and said, "Is this young lady Bai Snake Dan who was on the stage just now?"

Yi Chengxin looked at her and nodded with a smile: "Sister, I don't want such a coincidence."

The voice is indeed as clear and nice as on stage.

Li Mingqing suddenly smiled. She had practiced martial arts since she was a child and had a bright temperament. She always felt close to and liked the gentle and quiet woman when she saw her. What's more, the girl in front of her was similar in age, could sing well, and had a similar temperament. She hadn't met the girl for a long time. I have slept with peers who are so close to each other.

"Sister, are you here to discuss the costume business?" Li Mingqing looked at her happily.

"No, I'm here to check out the betrothal gift." Yi Chengxin smiled.

"Whose betrothal gift?"

"Mine." Yi Chengxin smiled and said softly, "I will marry to Xilong one day, and from now on I will stop singing."

"."

At this moment, the big shopkeeper came out of the inner room holding a book and bowed to Li Mingqing, but walked straight over without saying anything to Yi Chengxin.

The two exchanged the entries in private, and Yi Chengxin nodded his thanks and took the account book. But she did not leave, but walked towards the inner room under Li Mingqing's surprised eyes.

There were only two people left in the hall.

This big shopkeeper looks like a big shopkeeper. He has a broad face and body. He looks friendly and trustworthy. He speaks calmly and quietly, so every word he says has more weight.

"It's rare to have a distinguished guest from Bowang." The big shopkeeper said with a smile and cupped his hands, "Young shopkeeper is here to pay homage to Pengpi, but if there is any need, Qi Yun is willing to do his best."

Li Mingqing quickly returned the gift: "I'm ashamed, I'd like to ask the great shopkeeper to come here - there are noble people in the state who like him, Ming Qing just wants to buy a few paintings."

"Oh? What kind of brush actually alarmed distinguished guests from Youzhou?" The big shopkeeper raised his eyebrows in surprise, "I'm just covering up now, but I don't know which magic brush has become famous in recent years."

Li Minqing smiled: "It's not the big shopkeeper's fault - if you want to know this person, you have to go back thirty years."

The big shopkeeper raised his head and showed a slightly confused expression: "That must be..."

"It is the famous master of Guizhou, Master Tian of the West who has passed away."

But the big shopkeeper smiled in embarrassment: "It's not because I am precious, but in the past few years, Western Tian's paintings have suddenly gained some fame. There are many people asking for them. If the boss wants it, I will help you search for it for a few days." , but it is indeed unknown whether there is any authentic news.”

Li Mingqing's original intention was not to ask for paintings. Hearing this, he showed a regretful look: "I wonder if there are other posthumous works of Western masters. I heard that the master's paintings were consigned to your chamber of commerce for sale. There are some anecdotes."

The chief shopkeeper thought for a moment: "Our association compiled and printed a volume of "Biographies of Western Painters" ten years ago."

"I've seen this before." Li Mingqing smiled.

Zihuang did show them this thin volume, which was all about Western Tian's achievements in painting, but did not explain anything about his life experiences and final events.

It is precisely because the Qiyun Chamber of Commerce was able to publish such a book twenty years later that several people believe that it actually hides more things about Dongfang Tian, ​​most of which are related to the owner behind it.

"That's what the young master wants."

Li Mingqing showed a curious expression: "I heard about the 'Scroll of Immortality'."

The big shopkeeper raised his head and smiled, and interrupted: "Young boss, I have only been in the Qiyun Chamber of Commerce for eighteen years. I really can't help."

Li Mingqing did not give up: "Then I wonder if the shopkeeper can introduce me to your boss?"

The big shopkeeper smiled: "I'm very sorry, it's not convenient for my boss to have guests during these days."

Li Mingqing suddenly thought of something and asked: "By the way, I don't know who your boss is."

"Sorry for the inconvenience."

Li Mingqing smiled and nodded: "I was the one who was abrupt - I wonder if I can stay in your pavilion for two days and wait for news about the painting?"

"my pleasure!"

The girl thanked her and glanced at the backyard while serving tea.

In fact, she didn't expect the Chamber of Commerce to actually reveal anything to her.

After submitting the invitation, people must have had enough understanding of the identity of Cuiyu Young Master Li Minqing. When Qiyun was expanding to Bowang, Dingyun was also extending to Xiangzhou, and behind it, there was Cuiyu faintly. Feather's shadow.

Li Yiqing asked Zhang Dingyun where the ledgers were usually kept, and he also knew that a large chamber of commerce like Qi Yun would keep transaction records from thirty years ago very well.

The sky is already getting a little dusky.
