Prequel to the Master of Demonic Dao

Chapter 23

Lan Qizhi and Lan Qiren walked on the main street of Caiyi Town, surrounded by vendors selling vegetables, candied gourds, bamboo dragonfly grass and butterflies, chatting and arguing, it was very lively and full of fireworks.The children were running around in the crowd, chasing and playing, and almost bumped into Lan Qiren. When they looked up, they saw a very beautiful but iceberg-like face, and then they ran away without even daring to say "I'm sorry". .

Today is a holiday, and it has been a long time since I went out for a walk.

Lan Qiren stopped in front of a fish stall, there were a few big fish in the wooden barrel, very fresh, shaking their heads and tails in the water, the water was very shallow, suddenly the fish jumped up, as if trying to rush out of the barrel, He wagged his tail vigorously as if he was going to get out, splashing water onto Lan Qiren's clothes.

Lan Qizhi led him back a step, the stall owner saw someone, and put on a smiling face ready to say hello, but seeing the two people in white clothes fluttering, they looked like they were buying fish, he really couldn't imagine such a situation The appearance of a person walking on the street carrying a fish.The stall owner smiled, as if he was ashamed of himself, and kept wiping his hands on his apron, not knowing what to say to these two godlike people.

The clothes were splashed wet, but Lan Qiren still didn't walk away, Lan Qizhi said: "Qiren, do you want to eat fish?"

Lan Qiren didn't look at him, but still stared at the fish and said: "Brother, is the grilled fish delicious?"

Lan Qizhi didn't know why he asked such a question, and rubbed his forehead: "I haven't eaten."

Lan Qiren said: "She has eaten."

Lan Qizhi knew who "she" was, he was speechless for a while, smiled, and walked forward slowly.

The two walked aimlessly like this, Lan Qizhi said, "You want to see her."

Lan Qiren said: "I don't want to."

Lan Qizhi smiled and said: "In a month's time, Yunmeng will have a light meeting, and the Taoist priest may go. If you don't want to see her, I will go with my uncle, and you will be on duty in Yunshen."

Lan Qiren paused for a moment before saying, "I'll go."

Lan Qizhi shook his head and smiled helplessly.

There was a sudden commotion in front, and it turned out that it was two buskers shouting.The two looked like brothers and sisters. There was a plate by the man's feet, and there were some copper coins in it. He beat the gong and shouted in the crowd: "Look, look, look, Zhang's unique skill of swallowing swords, if you have money, you can get a lot of money." , I don’t have the money to hold a personal show..."

Lan Qiren is not usually a person who likes to watch the excitement, but at this moment he actually stopped in his tracks. Lan Qizhi understood, and pulled him a few steps into the crowd.The woman was performing sword swallowing. She raised her head and slowly inserted the iron swords into her throat one by one. Three or four of them had already been inserted, and only the hilt was left outside.The sword is a relatively simple iron sword, smaller and thinner than ordinary swords, without a sharpened edge, and no mechanism can be seen. The timid onlookers covered their mouths, and someone threw some copper coins to her from time to time.

Lan Qiren was stunned, the woman's throat trembled, the veins on her neck were exposed, there seemed to be tears in the corners of her eyes, her head and upper body could not move.While inserting a sword into her mouth, she also danced her hands and feet to increase viewing.Most people can't stand swallowing a sword, let alone swallowing a chopstick. Even if they have developed ingenuity through long-term training, they are still solid iron swords. Humans are also made of flesh and blood, and their parents gave birth, so there is no reason for it to be easy.Lan Qiren's face was full of distress and sadness, remembering that she once said that if you have no money to eat, you can perform on the street. She said it lightly. If he was performing like this, he would not know what terrible things he would do if he saw it. .

Lan Qizhi looked at Lan Qiren's blue and white face, smiled and said, "Don't worry, the Taoist priest is in Meishan with Mrs. Yu taking care of her. She is very good and won't be reduced to relying on performing arts for a living."

Lan Qiren's face twitched, he thought that he didn't need Mrs. Yu to take care of him, I took care of my people, but when did the little Daoist belong to Lan Qiren?

Lan Qizhi added another knife: "Your little Taoist leader is flying birds in the sky of Meishan. She subdued a female ghost who was close to human beings on the boat, retreated countless apes in Qutang Gorge, and is teaching two ghosts in Meishan. A different person practices qi control abilities. She doesn't need anyone to take care of her, she can form her own school, but there are many people who want to take care of her."

Lan Qiren turned around and left, the busker's plate behind him suddenly rang, and a huge silver coin landed on his plate, he grabbed it excitedly, put it in his mouth and bit it, facing the two The departing white figure bowed: "Thank you, Immortal!"

The author has something to say: So here comes the question, is this money given by Lan Qiren or by Lan Qizhi?
