114 | Laughing and joking about messing with me and the Secretary 2
by Jessie@AFNCCAfter this sentence, all the way, Xie Ren was preoccupied. After a few more sentences, Hua Cheng’s words gave him a four-word feeling: “That’s all there is to it.” So, Xie Ren didn’t ask any more questions.
When he returned to the Bodhisattvas’ view, the light of day had not yet broken.
Push open the door, pots and pans have to be cleaned up, Lang Ying and Guzi, Qi Rong are sleeping in the house, covered with a quilt, very peaceful. It seems that after he left, there are indeed people who take good care of this place, has left quietly.
When Xie Ren came back this time, she was accompanied by a large number of prayers.
The Bodhisattvas had never received so many prayers, and he didn’t think it was due to the rich merchant who had helped him publicize his good name-yes, the rich merchant who had lived in the town before had finally kept his promise and had come by.
However, he came, but did not notice Xie Ren placed in the conspicuous place of the sign, or he deliberately turned a blind eye. And did not as he promised that donate how much how much incense, this time to come, the main purpose is to send a banner over, in front of the village folks in the face of the village, enthusiastically handed over to the hand of Xie Ren. Xie Ren unprepared to open a look, immediately shut up, but the banner above the bucket of four words or deep into his mind – “wonderful hand back to the fetus”.
Xie Ren: “????”
Sending that rich merchant away, he sighed, thinking that he worried every day about when this house would collapse, he really didn’t know when it would be repaired. On the side, Hua Cheng who was leaning on the door as if he could tell what he was sighing, said, “There’s something I’ve been wanting to say for a long time now, brother if you’re not living in this house, why don’t you just change the place.”
Xie Ren shook her head and said, “Speak softly ah Sanlang, where to change.”
Flower City laughed, “Or else move to my place and forget about it.”
Xie Ren knows, he should not just say this, but since that night “joking”, he inexplicably has a shadow in his heart, Hua Cheng again with such “joking” look said words, he is not quite dare to casually receive, lowered his head and laughed over.
As for the prayers received, although they are all about the family’s old ox’s leg being injured and not being able to work, or the family’s daughter-in-law being pregnant and lacking manpower in the fields, but at least they are all prayers, and the prayers of the believers should be treated equally. After two days, Xie Ren answered the prayers and went to the village to help plant rice seedlings and plow the fields.
Hua Cheng lives here, naturally also followed him to play together. Because it was rough work, originally Xie Ren didn’t want him to go down to the ground as well, but couldn’t be persuaded, so both of them changed into rough clothes, rolled up their sleeves and pants legs, and went down to the rice field.
From afar, there are many busy farmers scattered in a large expanse of turquoise green paddy fields, among which, two figures are particularly conspicuous.
Even Xie Ren’s rough clothes in the body, but also can not cover half of the elegance of Huacheng, rather, that the ragged clothes set off his face and body shape even more out of the ordinary. Both of them are white, with beautiful arms and long, straight calves, forming a bright and eye-catching landscape among the crowd of grimy peasants, causing the village women, who are used to seeing brown men, to blush, and not be able to stop peeking at them, and then inserting the rice seedlings under their hands into a crooked arc, and then turning into a laughing stock.
Hua Cheng’s whiteness was a whiteness that was almost bloodless. Xie Ren, on the other hand, was fair with a rosy color, and, due to his natural constitution, the more he sweated, the more glistening white his skin was like jade. With the scorching sun at his side, after doing this for a while, his entire body was white with pink, and he was so hot and dry that he couldn’t help but wipe away the beads of sweat that were sliding down his neck, but thinking that ghosts are all gloomy and don’t like the sun, and that Hwacheng must be even more unpleasant, he turned his head to look over. Sure enough, Hua Cheng also leisurely got up, is squinting, with a hand to cover the sun, eyes fell on the right hand in the shadow cast between the eyebrows, fixedly looking at this side.
Xie Ren walked over, fastened the bucket hat on his head and said, “Put it on.”
Hua Cheng was first stunned, then narrowed his eyes and smiled, “Good.”
Although Hua Cheng said that the ground is for fun, but he can work faster than Xie Ren, fast and good, very skillful. Half an hour later, Xie Ren’s side of the piece of work is done, is already sore back, straighten up to pound the waist, that side of the flower city came over to help him busy. Xie Ren look, not a moment, he actually noiselessly one person finished a large area, a green rice planted in the paddy field, neat and tidy, very attractive. He sincerely sighed: “Sanlang you really learn everything quickly. You don’t need to help me either, just sit there and rest, drink some water or something.”
Hua Cheng then went to the ridge to get water. The village chief watched from the sidelines for half a day, when he gave a thumbs up and said: ”Taoist Master, whose young man is this, so diligent and so powerful! One person is worth dozens! Which family’s daughter would be lucky to have him as her favorite!”
Xie Ren “puff” laughed out, not a moment later, there really are a few people secretly come to ask Xie Ren: “Hey hey Taoist Master, this live in your view of the young man, is to call where? Is he married? No wife at home, right?”
“Surely not, so young!”
Xie Ren cried and laughed, vaguely said, “This …… is it, young, so don t think about this first.”
A few people were busy saying, “That’s not good. It’s just that I’m young, that’s why I have to hurry up and settle down.”
“Taoist priest you’d better give advice, men have to settle down early before they grow up. You have to have a family first for everything.”
“Yes, young man! Dry fire’s! Can’t stand the loneliness!”
These are all people who have daughters at home who want to inquire about the situation, Xie Ren was warmly pushing, but Hua Cheng came over with a bamboo tube and said, “Married. There is already a wife in the family.”
When they heard that, they were greatly disappointed, but they were not dead set on it, saying, “Which girl did you marry? Can this little brother tell us?” “He’s not lying to us.” “Surely she’s beautiful and virtuous, right?”
Hua Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, ”Well, that is. Beautiful and virtuous. It’s a golden-branched noble that I’ve loved since I was a child. Liked it for many years and went through a lot of trouble to chase after it.”
He spoke in a serious manner, not seeming to be a hypocrite, a few people felt that there was no chance, so they had to disperse with regret. Xie Ren was listening to him slightly mesmerized, Hua Cheng handed him a cloth towel and a tube of water and said, “Drinking water?”
Xie Ren took the cloth towel, wiped his hands full of mud, which took the bamboo tube and drank a few mouthfuls and handed it back. He unconsciously grabbed the cloth towel in his hand into a messy mess, rubbing it around, and after holding it for a while, he still couldn’t help but ask: “…… Really?”
Hua Cheng took back the bamboo tube and took a sip for himself, the knot in his throat rolled up and down for a round, and he looked down and said, “Hm? What?”
Xie Ren raised his sleeve, wiped a little bead of sweat on his forehead, always felt that the sun is not a little too big, sunburned his forehead and cheeks are hot, try to careless smile and asked: “There is already a wife in the family, beautiful and virtuous, is a golden branch of the nobility, since childhood, like, and went through great pains to catch up.”
Flower City said, “Oh, fake.”
Xie Ren himself didn’t even realize that he let out a sigh of relief. This time, it was a genuine smile, following the tone of Hua Cheng’s earlier words, “Lying cluck.”
Flower City guffawed and added, “But it’s not all a lie. I just haven’t caught up yet.”
At those words, Xie Ren froze, but Hua Cheng had already turned around and continued to help with the work.
Xie Ren stayed in place for a while, before bending down and slowly laboring. For some reason, she always felt a bit sullen, and in a moment, she realized that she had accidentally inserted a small row askew, and hurriedly pulled back her thoughts.
While he worked in the fields, he privately tried to channel with the Wind Master. Although Hua Cheng had said that he should not go near the Wind Master’s group again, Xie Ren still couldn’t do it. He had tried countless times over the past few days, yet none of them had succeeded, and after silently reciting the password several times, there was no response from that side, a dead silence. Thus, he turned to the doorway and looked for Spirit Man, asking, “Spirit Man, how is Lord Wind Master now?”
Ling Wen’s side soon got through, his voice ringing in Xie Ren’s ears, saying, “Master Feng? It’s gotten a bit better.”
Xie Ren intuited that she wasn’t telling the truth, but didn’t pursue it, only made up his mind to go up and take a look later.
At this time, I also heard Ling Wen say, “By the way, Lord Shui Shi sent some gifts to you, they have already been delivered, Your Highness the Crown Prince, you remember to take a look.”
Xie Ren was stunned and said, “A gift? There’s no need for it. You don’t get a favor for nothing.”
Ling Wen said, ”Don’t be modest and polite. When the Wind Master Lord is impulsive, he randomly looks for someone to accompany him, you accompanied him to toss around for so long, and you deserve it in all senses of the word. Lord Water Master said it’s just a small token of appreciation, so you should just accept it.”
Xie Ren still feel not quite right, pay attention. After finishing the work, the work, Hua Cheng to help the village head to repair his family’s plow to go, Xie Ren first back to the Bodhi Chestnut View. Hua Cheng said that the “three idlers” were moved to the Bodhi Chestnut View, he looked around the house, thinking: “Where are the gifts? Where?”
Thinking about whether it will fall into the gap under the bottom of the merit box, he rolled up his sleeves, ready to move the merit box, who knows, this move, but it does not move. The merit box was heavy, as if it had roots on the ground. Xie Ren inexplicable, took out the key to unlock the lock, once opened the lid was brilliant golden light blind.
That merit box, actually densely piled up with gold bars, a rough look, at least can give him a ten million merit!
Xie Ren immediately slammed the lid on, pressed it with both hands, and said, “A small token of appreciation?”
To send such an expensive thing for no reason, could it be a hush money? Originally, he was still considering, if it was really a little gift, such as a spirit jade pendant ring that contained mana or something like that, would it not be better to accept it, after all, sending it back directly might brush off Shifu Wudu’s face, and that Shui Shi’s heart was high and proud, instead of being beautiful. But now, well, worthy of the God of Wealth, such a large box of gold bars, must be sent back.
It so happened that he had also intended to immediately go to the Upper Heavenly Court to see the wind master, thinking that Hua Cheng was not expected to come back so soon, so he left a note, carried the heavy and crushing box of merit and virtue on his back and set off.
Who knows, as soon as he arrived in Xianjing, it was actually a mess of soldiers and people, Xie Ren couldn’t help but jaw-dropping. The good Shenwu Street was actually smashed out all over the place with pits and puddles. A group of minor magi were busy with their troupes, and Ling Wen was squatting at the edge of a deep pit, pressing his temples with a headache. Xie Ren went up and said, “True Lord, what’s going on?”
When Ling Wen looked up, he was startled by the huge merit box behind him and said, ”Your Royal Highness, what are you doing carrying such a big merit box up here? What’s going on, you ask? Alas, don’t mention it, General Nan Yang and General Xuan Zhen are fighting, smashing the other party’s immortal mansion.”
Feng Xin and Mu Yi? Xie Ren wondered, “Why are they fighting again?”
Spirit Man said, “It’s still not because of that incident with the fetus spirit last time. A few Martial Gods gathered to discuss how to deal with that pair of ghost mothers and children. General Nanyang proposed to send the fetus spirit to refine, after all, that thing really kill countless people, Xuanzhen will not allow it, the tone of voice, a bit of discomfort, Nanyang said that you used to have such a kind heart, could it be that there are ghosts in your heart cloud. Prince you know, they are that way, two words, to the outside to fight. Look, look, what kind of fight has it become? I said earlier, you martial arts god this kind of culture is really not good, immortal capital this year’s repair expenditure is too terrible, I just counted to half, and all forgotten. Really ……”
Xie Ren saw that she really had a headache and said, “Then …… you slowly calculate it. I’ll go see Master Feng first.”
Ling Wen looked up and said, “Seeing Master Wind Master? Don’t bother, Your Highness the Crown Prince, Master Wind Master is not seeing guests right now.”
Xie Ren said, “Didn’t you say he was better?”
Spirit Man said, “This is what Lord Water Master said. But the Wind Master not seeing guests is also what Lord Water Master said. Right now even I can’t see Lord Wind Master, so I guess I still need to recuperate for a while, Your Highness, you shouldn’t go. That said, that merit box of yours is not also too ……”
With a “clang”, Xie Ren put down the merit box and said, “Then please help me return this to Lord Shui Shi. I don’t want to be rewarded for what I’ve done. Even if he doesn’t give anything, what he shouldn’t say, Xie Ren won’t say more.” Throwing the box all in one piece, he hurriedly walked away, Ling Wen shouted a few times behind him, failed to answer, called it quits, and continued to lower his head, having a headache at the deep pit at his feet.
However, Xie Ren left, but of course, he would not just go down to the earth, but quietly went to the Immortal Mansion of the Wind Master and the Water Master in the Immortal Capital, the
Although this Immortal Mansion had heavy guards on the inner and outer layers, this level was not difficult for Xie Ren. Last time Shi Qingxuan brought him in, he roughly remembered the direction of the wind master’s bedchamber, over a wall, sometimes high walk, sometimes sneak, in a short while to. The only thing he was worried about was that the Wind Master had been gotten somewhere else by his brother, and was not here at all at the moment.
Good in this worry did not materialize, he climbed on the roof, find a dead end that outsiders can not see, make a upside down golden hook, hanging on the eaves, to the bedchamber look. This look, immediately surprised.
Shi Qingxuan was actually tied up, tied to his own couch, still struggling. On the other hand, Shi Wudu was pacing around the couch, holding a bowl of black stuff in his hand. He paused for a moment, then suddenly walked over to Shi Qingxuan and forced it into his mouth.
