Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

It is easier to get things done if you have an identity. After showing the identity badges, the shopkeeper quickly arranged the best room for Song Changsheng and others.

Song Changsheng and others also experienced for the first time the horror of the prices in Sifang City. A good room cost five low-grade spirit stones a day, while a good cave for cultivation in Luoxia City only cost three spirit stones.

After the settlement, the sun had already set, but Sifang City did not become quiet with the coming of night. On the contrary, it became more lively. The streets were brightly lit, and the crowds were bustling, presenting a prosperous scene.

Seeing this scene, Song Qingxi hurriedly pulled Song Qingxing to find Song Changsheng, with Song Qingyun hanging behind them.

Looking at Song Qingxi's expectant face, Song Changsheng knew what he was thinking, and nodded slightly, "Then let's go downstairs and take a look."

Since it was their first time here and they didn't have a guide, Song Changsheng and the others didn't have any set goals, so they just strolled along the streets, and when they came across something new, they would go up to take a look. They didn't have to buy anything, they just thought of it as an opportunity to broaden their horizons.

Not long after they walked, they discovered a large group of people gathered not far ahead, discussing something intensely and exclaiming from time to time.

When they got closer, they saw a bald old man in a black robe in the center of the crowd. He was thin, his limbs were like dry firewood, and his old face was like withered bark.

Of course, so many people gathered together not to see this old man, but to see the big iron cage standing next to him.

The cage was about three feet square, and a woman was curled up helplessly inside.

The woman's upper body was only covered with a small piece of cloth, and most of her snow-white skin was exposed to the public, which was very exciting.

Her black and shiny hair was draped over her shoulders, not at all messy. Unfortunately, her face was covered with a thin veil, so only a vague outline could be seen. However, her eyes were so charming that one could not take their eyes away.

But what attracted the most attention was her pair of golden vertical pupils.

Those were not a pair of human eyes. Song Changsheng saw a faint cold light in the depths of those eyes, like a dormant poisonous snake, ready to bite someone.

Looking down from her proud breasts, her body below the navel was covered with dense dark green scales. Her lower body was actually a snake's tail, curled up in the cage and twisting restlessly.

The discussions of the people around were mostly focused on the snake's tail, and of course, some foul language was inevitable.

Song Qingxi blushed at those explicit words, and secretly spat in her heart. Then she stretched out her hand to block Song Qingxing's eyes and said "viciously": "You are not allowed to look."

Song Qingxing was puzzled and asked, "Why? Brother Yun and uncle are watching."

"You...I don't care, you are not allowed to look." Song Qingxi stomped her feet angrily and stood on tiptoe to cover his eyes.

Seeing this, Song Qingxing had no choice but to obey her. Although he was also very curious, his wife was the most important person in the world.

Song Qingyun, who was standing aside, looked at the two of them and couldn't help but feel a strong sense of envy in his heart. A pretty face also appeared involuntarily in his mind.

Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something and gently pulled Song Qingxing's sleeve...

After asking Song Qingxing to turn his head away, Song Qingxi turned around and looked at Song Changsheng, and asked curiously: "Uncle, is this half-human, half-snake creature in the cage a monster?"

Song Changsheng shook his head slightly and said, "It's not quite accurate to call it a monster. This is the snake people. They were a very powerful tribe in ancient times, but with the passage of time, they have declined. Nowadays, they are rarely seen. I didn't expect to encounter them here."

"Is that man going to sell her?" A trace of pity flashed across Song Qingxi's face. If there was a monster in the cage, she wouldn't feel anything, but the other party still had most of the "human" characteristics. As a woman, she knew very well what this snake woman would go through if she was sold.

"It is most likely true. The snake people are a very polarized group. The men in the tribe are strong and have ferocious looks, which makes people afraid.

But women are extremely delicate and beautiful, and they have a fatal attraction to human cultivators. They are often used as furnaces for cultivation. "

There was something Song Changsheng didn't say. Apart from being used as furnaces by evil monks, snake women, like mermaid women, were very popular high-end slaves. They usually only circulated in upper circles, and their deaths were often extremely miserable.

Song Changsheng has read quite a few related books and feels quite sympathetic towards this race. After all, their decline is closely related to the human race.

Sympathy is sympathy, but he couldn't afford to spend hundreds of thousands or even millions of spirit stones to rescue her. Even though she was now in a cage being criticized by people around her, she was actually not someone that people of their class could touch.

The old man exposed him in public, and his purpose was probably not simple. He just wanted to watch the fun, and let others do the heroic deeds.

Song Qingxi looked at Song Changsheng several times, and seemed to want to say something but stopped herself. In the end, she did not say what was in her heart. She was no longer the little girl who chased butterflies on the ridge of the field. She understood all the principles that she should understand.

He turned his head away and stopped looking, but he always felt like something was missing around him. When he turned around, he found that Song Qingxing and Song Qingyun were gone.

"uncle?"

Before he could finish, Song Changsheng seemed to know what she wanted to say and said calmly, "Don't worry about them. They are safe in Sifang City."

Only then did Song Qingxi feel slightly relieved.

After a while, Song Qingxing and Song Qingyun came back mysteriously.

Seeing that the two of them were safe, Song Qingxi breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he frowned, put his hands on his hips, and said dissatisfiedly: "You didn't even tell me where you were going. I just... your uncle was so worried just now."

Seeing that he was being used as a shield again, Song Changsheng did not expose him and said softly, "You are not a child anymore. If you want to look around, just look around."

"Just indulge them. Brother Yun is still young. You don't have to be afraid that he will be blinded by this world of pleasure." Song Qingxi didn't give Song Qingyun any face at all.

Upon hearing this, Song Qingyun touched his nose, lowered his head and dared not speak.

There is no way, the eldest sister is like a mother. Song Changsheng often goes into seclusion, and Xia Yunxue is busy with the wine-making workshop. It can be said that he was raised by Song Qingxi since he was a child. Even if Song Qingxi pointed at his nose and scolded him, he could only bear it. After scolding, he would also ask if he was tired and if he wanted a cup of tea.

Seeing two grown men being scolded like children who had made mistakes in front of Song Qingxi, Song Changsheng couldn't help laughing. It was true that there was always someone better than him.

He coughed lightly and said, "Okay, I know what they did. I'll just not do it again. Fellow Daoist Li mentioned earlier that there is a shop in the city that sells magical instruments. It is said that they have a wide variety of products. Let's go over and see if there is anything suitable. I'll pick one for each of you."

Song Qingxi did not doubt him, and looked back at the snake woman in the cage. His eyes dimmed slightly, but soon returned to normal and said, "Let's go and have a look. We don't need the magic weapon. You picked one for each of us at the black market before.

You still need to rent a shop, so you should use your spirit stones sparingly."

"How do you know I want to rent a shop?" Song Changsheng was surprised.

"You've almost carved these words on your face since you came downstairs."

"Is it that obvious?"

"of course."

The group of people were talking and laughing as they walked away. The bald old man who had been keeping his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes, and his sharp eyes pierced through the gaps between the crowd and went straight to Song Changsheng's vest.

Song Changsheng felt something and suddenly stopped and looked towards the crowd.

"What's wrong?" Song Qingxi was a little confused when he suddenly stopped. "Just now I felt a faint chill from that direction, as if... someone was watching me in the dark." Song Changsheng's eyes became slightly solemn. He was very confident in his intuition. Although that feeling was only fleeting, it would never be wrong.

Song Qingxi was shocked: "Are you sure who it is?"

"The other party is very cautious, and there are too many people over there, so we can't confirm it. It might be the enemy we made when we came to Gusu last time."

Song Changsheng was also very distressed.

In order to rescue Zhuang Yuechan, he and Niu Dazhuang fought several times in the Meteorite Mountains. Countless people died at their hands. Many people had seen his appearance, so it was possible that he would be recognized by several enemies here.

The main problem here is that others know him, but he doesn’t know others.

There were too many people at that time, three layers inside and three layers outside, people were everywhere. As long as anyone stood in front of him, he would directly use the [Mountain-Climbing Seal]. He didn't remember who they were at all, and he couldn't recognize them even if they stood in front of him.

After encountering this kind of thing, everyone lost the desire to continue shopping and turned around and went back to the inn.

After returning to the room, Song Changsheng called several people together and said, "Don't act alone recently. Remember to tell me where you are going. Although the city is relatively safe, you must be on guard against others. Safety is the most important thing."

"understood."

Everyone nodded in unison, knowing the seriousness of the matter.

These people probably can't do anything to Song Changsheng, but it's much easier to deal with them. It's always better to be careful.

Song Changsheng thought about it and realized that it was impossible for him to stay with them all the time. Although the inn was safe and secure, it was impossible for them to stay at home all the time, right?
"How about this, I will teach you a method that can change your body shape and appearance. If you want to go out in the future, you must disguise yourself first."

The methods in the Taoist scriptures cannot be taught, but Song Changsheng has killed many opponents over the years and has also seized quite a few spoils, among which is a second-level method that can change body shape and aura, which is barely enough for them.

The method was taught to three people. All of them were extremely talented and they understood it thoroughly in just two hours. After they changed their appearance, even Song Changsheng could only see some clues. If they were not close friends, it would be difficult to find the flaws.

Seeing the good effect, Song Changsheng felt a little relieved. He glanced at the sky outside and found that a hint of paleness had appeared on the horizon.

"It's getting late. We've been tired all night. Let's go back to our rooms and adjust. We'll go to the City Lord's Mansion at 15:30."

"As ordered."

The three of them returned to the room. Song Qingxi was about to meditate to regulate his breathing, but he saw Song Qingxing standing in front of him with his hands behind his back and a strange expression on his face.

"What's wrong?" Song Qingxi looked at him puzzledly.

"What are you hiding behind?"

Song Qingxing originally planned to give her a surprise, but he didn't expect to be discovered directly, and the atmosphere became a little awkward for a while.

But he was not a shy person. Since he was discovered, he simply took it out openly and said stiffly: "Here, it's for you."

Song Qingxi looked closely and saw a blue and white jade hairpin lying quietly in his palm, with a lifelike butterfly on the head of the hairpin.

At first sight, she fell deeply in love with this jade hairpin.

She carefully took the jade hairpin, her eyes sparkling, and exclaimed: "It's so beautiful, when did you buy it?"

"night."

Only then did Song Qingxi understand what Song Qingxing had done during the time he disappeared.

"Is it Brother Yun's idea?" Song Qingxi snorted softly, revealing the secret in one sentence. She didn't believe that this piece of wood would suddenly come to her senses.

This was the first time he had given her jewelry after all these years.

"Like it?"

Song Qingxing was a little nervous. He knew nothing about jewelry, but Song Qingyun asked him to choose whatever he wanted. He didn't know if he had made the right choice.

"do not like."

"Ah?" Song Qingxing was petrified instantly.

"But it's you who gave it to me. Come and help me put it on."

Song Qingxi smiled sweetly and pulled Song Qingxing to sit down beside the dressing table.

Song Qingxing took the jade hairpin and pinned her hair according to the method that Song Qingyun had taught him in advance. His awkwardness made Song Qingxi laugh, and she corrected him from time to time.

This scene is harmonious and warm...

In the next room, Song Qingyun also took out a white tasseled hairpin from his arms, looking a little dazed.

This jade hairpin is very similar to the one Su Xiaoxiao had before, but hers was destroyed in a fight while she was trying to save him.

At that time he said he would give her a new hairpin. Now, the hairpin has been bought, but the person next to her is no longer with her.

"Xiaoxiao, I will definitely find you..."

……

After daybreak, they disguised themselves and went to the City Lord's Mansion in two groups, front and back, to apply for identity certificates.

With the guest badges of the Wanlong Chamber of Commerce, the steward of the City Lord's Mansion was also very polite and quickly issued one to each of them.

Song Changsheng also asked about renting a shop, but the deacon directly refused, claiming that there were no shops left. He also said that if there were vacancies in the future, they would be announced, and asked him to pay more attention to the announcement.

Although he failed to achieve his goal, Song Changsheng was not discouraged. He had long known that the shops in Sifang City were in great demand, so it was normal that there were no vacant shops. He just felt a little regretful.

After all, each of these shops is a cash cow.

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Song Changsheng took out a storage bag and handed it to Song Qingxi, saying, "I'm going to the headquarters of the Wanlong Chamber of Commerce to meet a friend. You two can go around together, and I'll go back to the inn after I'm done.
