Chapter 60: Kill the mother and leave the son
In early spring, the sun shines brightly at noon.
Qu Ruyi was wearing a Taoist robe and Taoist temples, and she didn't look as chic as she did when she was walking around the streets in the past.
"Come, I'll take you."
Qu Ruyi held Xiuxiu's hand, with a smile on her face, walked a few steps forward, then looked back at Lin Bai, and said: "I know what you are worried about. My ancestor is really not in a good mood, but I am protecting you." Xiuxiu, don’t worry.”
"Thank you, Immortal Master Xiaoqu." Lin Bai leaned over and held his hands.
Qu Ruyi held Xiuxiu's hand, Song Qing walked beside her, and the three of them walked towards the pavilion.
Xiuxiu would look back at Lin Bai from time to time and wink at Lin Bai to show her reassurance.
Pei Ning held the sword, twisted her body, touched Lin Bai with the hilt of the sword, and comforted: "Maybe it's Duan Xianyuan."
Lin Bai shook his head and said: "If it is a fairy destiny, I will naturally not stop her, I will just show her off..."
Peining smiled and said, "Afraid she will be bullied?"
"I know Xiuxiu's temper best. She accepts death. She usually looks smart, but she is actually very soft-tempered and is easily bullied." Lin Bai smiled helplessly, "If no one is protecting her, I..."
"Is your life worse than death?" Pei Ning snatched the answer, and then said with a smile: "Master Quxian is a virtuous immortal master with kind eyebrows and kind eyes. Are you still afraid that Xiuxiu will not succeed if she is wronged? Just don't worry."
< br>
"I promised Mr. Bai that I would let Xiuxiu live a carefree life," Lin Bai said.
"Who in this world can really live a life without worries?" Pei Ning seemed to be melancholy, "Even an immortal would find it difficult to be afraid."
Both of them were smart people. They didn't deliberately lower their voices or say anything out of line.
Over there, Qu Ruyi took Xiu Xiu to the pavilion.
"Xiuxiu, kowtow to the ancestor." Ruyi said with a smile.
Xiuxiu had already received Lin Bai's advice, and without any hesitation, she knelt down and said, "Kowtow to the noble ancestor."
After kowtowing, she did not get up. She only tilted her head and looked at Qu Chengjia.
Although Xiuxiu had little experience, she was not stupid. She could feel Lin Bai's worry and caution, so although she didn't know the identity of the person in front of her, she thought he had a strong background.
He is even higher than the national master and is even called "immortal master". Xiuxiu felt that this person couldn't be the god that had been making a lot of noise in the city recently, right?
"Come forward." There was no expression on Qu Chengjia's face.
Xiuxiu stood up, walked a few steps forward, and knelt down again, very well-behaved.
"Quite well-behaved." Qu Chengjia smiled with satisfaction, and then pointed at Xiuxiu's eyebrows.
After only three breaths, Qu Chengjia became even more cheerful.
"Ancestor, but her destiny is consistent with what the ancestor has cultivated?" Qu Ruyi immediately asked with a smile.
"That's right. I just took a look at it from a distance, and I vaguely felt that this child is a good match." Qu Chengjia smiled and continued: "The science of numerology is the most mysterious. If you immerse yourself in it for a long time, you can seek good luck and avoid evil. ”
"Uncle, it's good luck to meet a good disciple!" Zhang Han knelt on the ground and said with a flattering smile.
Qu Chengjia nodded slightly, obviously recognizing this sentence.
"Ancestor, what is Xiuxiu's destiny?" Ruyi was curious, "I just practice qi, so I can't see clearly."
"I told you to practice hard, but you didn't listen. Look at Qing'er, he has been building the foundation for three years. You entered Taoism at the same time as him, and you are already far behind." Qu Chengjia lectured a few words, and then smiled: "This child's destiny is the moon shadow. If he practices water-based skills, he will get twice the result with half the effort. He can also use the shadow of the moon to chase the moon. It is a mysterious and mysterious thing. It is very compatible with my Xuangui's destiny."
Zhang Han watched from the side and immediately complimented: "This is the second best thing. The best thing is that this child is in the eyes of my uncle! It's easy to find a good disciple, but this kind of affinity is rare!"
< br>
Qu Chengjia nodded slightly again, feeling quite satisfied, and said, "Get up."
"Yes, yes!" Zhang Han immediately got up, but still bent over, very respectful.
Qu Ruyi said with a smile: "Ancestor has met a lot of people when he came here. The one who makes Ancestor's heart so excited is the girl Xiuxiu."
Xiuxiu knelt on the ground and felt that she could understand every word these people said, but she couldn't understand them when they were connected together.
But she could feel that she seemed to be quite liked by this ancestor.
"Xiuxiu, you are so lucky." Qu Ruyi's face became even more happy, "Hurry up and eat three more heads respectfully."
When Xiuxiu heard this, she immediately started taking a drink without saying a word, and she didn't stop after three times.
"Okay, okay." Qu Ruyi looked at Xiuxiu as if she was addicted, and quickly stepped forward to pull her.
Xiuxiu kept Lin Bai's words in mind and knocked on the ground again before standing up. She did not dust off her clothes, but looked at Qu Chengjia timidly.
"Grandma Xianshi, can I go back?" Xiuxiu licked her lips unconsciously, still thinking about the chicken soup at home.
Although she met a lot of people on weekdays, they were all poor people in the city. The ones she heard most were the gossips of the old women on the street. She was still too ignorant and did not understand the meaning of kowtow three times just now.
Even though Lin Bai gave her some temporary advice, she still didn't realize how special today was.
Everyone laughed when they heard her words.
Ruyi couldn't help but laugh, and reminded: "Xiuxiu, you can't call me grandma, you should call me master."
"Master... Master?" Xiu Xiu was a little confused. She turned back to look in the distance where Lin Bai and Pei Ning were standing, then looked at Qu Ruyi and asked, "Did you kowtow just now to acknowledge Master?"
She was not stupid at all. She understood immediately, then froze, muttering at the corner of her mouth, "Am I an apprentice?"
As a native of Beicheng, she knew that apprentices were not paid. Just like when Lin Bai entered the medical clinic, he didn't get paid and only learned.
"Silly girl."
Ruyi did not explain to Xiuxiu, but bowed to Qu Chengjia and said, "Ancestor, Lin Zhuanlun's mentor in studying medicine was Xiuxiu's grandfather. Now they run the medical clinic together. Ancestor If you accept this girl, you might as well extend your favor and accept Lin Zhuanlun as well.”
"That's how it should be." Qu Chengjia responded with a smile.
"Great!" Qu Ruyi looked at Xiuxiu with a smile and said, "You don't have to be separated from Lin Zhuanlun in the future. You can stay and fly with him for a long time."
Hearing this, Qu Chengjia frowned slightly and asked, "Lin Zhuanlun is engaged to her?"
"That's not true." Qu Ruyi explained with a smile, "But Xiuxiu is obsessed with marrying him and is extremely anxious."
Qu Ruyi bent down slightly to look at Xiuxiu again, and teased: "We are taking Lin Zhuanlun thousands of miles away this time, are you willing to go?"
"Wherever he goes, I will go." Xiuxiu's face was red, she lowered her head in embarrassment, and rubbed the hem of her clothes with her little hands, looking silly and coy.
Qu Chengjia was silent for a while and asked: "What if I only take you and not Lin Zhuanlun?"
Xiuxiu raised her head, tilted her head, and frowned: "Then what's the point of going alone? Wherever he goes, I will go. I will marry him in two years. If we are not together, won't it be a delay in having children? "Qu Chengjia smiled and said: "You are a husband and wife, you can't live without him?"
Xiuxiu thought for a while and said: "Grandpa is dead. If he dies too, then I... it won't be interesting anymore."
Qu Chengjia's face was a bit gloomy.
Qu Ruyi saw something was wrong and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Ancestor, Xiuxiu is still young, her temperament has not been settled yet, and she will talk some nonsense."
Zhang Han also spoke up and said: "Uncle, Xiuxiu has never seen the world. When she sees the world, she will know that there are people in this world who are a hundred times more considerate and a hundred times more handsome than Lin Zhuanlun! By then, she will naturally not What will Lin Zhuanlun think about?”
Song Qing stood beside him, but said nothing, very calm.
Xiuxiu also noticed that something was wrong in the atmosphere. She remembered Lin Bai's instructions and quickly knelt down again. She just lowered her head and did not dare to speak. She did not understand what she said wrong. Is it wrong to want to get married?
Seeing this, Zhang Han smiled again and said, "Uncle, when she learns some principles of life, she will naturally understand that the teacher's kindness is as great as the sky. The kindness that leads people to the Tao is even greater than the sky."< br>
Qu Chengjia did not speak.
Lin Bai and Pei Ning were waiting at a distance, not daring to speak to discuss, so they remained silent.
Suddenly a human voice appeared in my ears: "Come here."
It was clearly Master Quxian's voice. There was no emotion or anger in it, but it was a bit cold.
Lin Bai and Pei Ning looked at each other, each held the hilts of their swords, and then hurried forward.
Arriving under the pavilion, the two of them bowed and saluted.
Qu Chengjia said lightly: "I want to take Zhong Xiuxiu away. If you stay here, I will ensure that you will be rich and prosperous for the rest of your life. Even the descendants of future generations can be princes."
Is this settled? Lin Bai knew that the other party was not discussing with him, but giving orders, but he still leaned down and said, "Xiuxiu is young, I'm afraid she won't be able to serve Immortal Master Zuo..."
Before he finished speaking, Qu Chengjia suddenly raised his hand, "Do you really think I'm negotiating with you? How dare you, just an ant?"
There was no anger on her face, no trace of murderous intent, not even a hint of hostility.
But just like this, Lin Bai felt like he was in a deep pool of 100 feet, his mouth and nose were sealed, and he couldn't even breathe.
He seemed to be carrying a huge boulder on his back. Before he could hold on for a breath, he fell to one knee on the ground, holding on to the ground with both hands.
There was no chance to even ask for mercy. Lin Bai felt a chill on his back, and felt infinite fear in his heart.
Exactly the same as when I first met Elder Tong! The other party clearly has murderous intentions!
Like a light on the back, life and death are controlled by human hands. One thought is life, the other thought is death.
Lin Bai knew that these immortals did not regard him and others as the same kind, but he did not expect that Qu Chengjia would fall out at any time!
"Xiuxiu is very important to her? Do you want to accept it as a true biography? So much so that you want to kill me?"
Only four words came to Lin Bai's mind: kill the mother and leave the son...
"She is worried that I have too much influence on Xiuxiu?"
"But in this case, if you take me into your family, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? Xiuxiu and I have no foundation. We can only rely on her. How can I still rebel?"
"Is it possible that she intentionally promised Xiuxiu to someone else? But how could Xiuxiu be so stubborn, how could she admit it?"
"If she insists on killing me, isn't she afraid that Xiuxiu will fall out with her after she completes her studies?"
"Or is this woman just too suspicious?"
Lin Bai thought a lot for a while and wanted to speak, but was unable to speak. He only felt that his mouth was filled with water from his mouth to his belly.
He raised his head slightly and saw Naqu Ruyi stepping forward anxiously, as if begging for mercy.
Peining knelt on the ground, holding the hilt of the sword tightly with his hand, looking at himself without saying a word.
Xiuxiu knelt down in front of her, her eyes blank and eager, but she couldn't hear what she said.
After a while, Xiuxiu seemed to realize what she was doing, and knelt down to Qu Chengjia again, kowtowing.
Finally, Qu Chengjia nodded slowly.
Lin Bai felt light and collapsed to the ground.
After taking a short breath, Lin Bai spoke out: "Lin Bai has overstepped his bounds, please be punished by the immortal master."
While Lin Bai was talking, a thought came to his mind: "Golden elixir, this is the golden elixir. When the power is infinite, there is no need to worry about what the ants think."
"It's just a matter of time."
Qu Chengjia smiled faintly and said: "You two value friendship, so then you can both join my family."
Lin Bai didn't believe it at all, the murderous intention just now was definitely not fake!
Qu Chengjia looked at Song Qing and said: "Qing'er, I will take Ruyi and Xiuxiu back to the mountain first. You stay here temporarily and check if there are any strange phenomena here. In addition, beware of the person from Jiuyin Mountain coming again. If you encounter him, Don’t fight hard. Let Lin Zhuanlun help you and lead him into the path.”
Zhang Qing leaned over and responded.
Lin Bai also expressed his gratitude.
"Okay, let's break up." Qu Chengjia smiled, "Ruyi, take Xiuxiu down to have a rest and teach her to read the tortoise shell book. Qing'er, go and ask the people from the Qingyang Sect to come see me. They are running around in the mountains. As time goes by, the reward cannot be lost.”
After saying that, she looked at Lin Bai and said, "Go back and clean up. Just stay with Qing'er these days and listen to his instructions. You will have your chance in the future." She didn't even look at Pei Ning.
"Yes." Lin Bai leaned over and saluted, respectful and excited.
He glanced at Xiuxiu, smiled at her, told her not to worry, and left the county office respectfully.
As they walked on the road, Lin Bai and Pei Ning were silent.
After a while, Pei Ning sighed and said, "When I first met Master Quxian, she didn't like my destiny and didn't know what my destiny was." After saying this, she smiled charmingly and said, "Congratulations on becoming an immortal. Home.”
Lin Bai smiled back and said: "When I succeed, I will come to guide you. However, I need Master's permission." As he spoke, Lin Bai specially raised his hand in the direction of the county government.
"Thank you very much, little girl." Pei Ning looked at Lin Bai with a smile.
Lin Bai also looked at her.
The two have a close friendship, and they work together every day, so they have a tacit understanding.
"Xiuxiu needs to go back with Master first. She is the greediest, so I will buy some things for her to eat on the way." Lin Bai smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "You go back to the hospital and pack her two sets of clean clothes. If you don’t need to move anything, I won’t go. I’ll see you in front of the county government office.”
Pei Ning heard this and nodded with a smile. She knew that Lin Bai was worried that he would be spied on and did not dare to go to the medical clinic for fear of missing the whereabouts of the magic formula.
