Lanling covered the moon

Chapter 288 Jiangnan

"Master, this is the town where the people say that there are evil spirits haunting it? Siping Town...it doesn't look like it, it's so lively!"

Chu Yan carried a long sword on his back, and blocked the bright summer sun with his hands. Looking at the three gilt characters of Siping Town carried on the archway, he was intoxicated by the wonderful scenery of the Jiangnan water town.

This clean and beautiful place has white walls and black tiles, and the blue waves are rippling under the light of weeping willows.

The yellow eyebrows scream, evoking the inextricably rich green color, dotted with the quiet tea fragrance, laughter and laughter, all of which are prosperous and rich.

When Ji Chen went to a crowded place, he would change himself into another ordinary appearance.He asked Chu Yan to use spells to disguise himself, but his little apprentice laughed and said frankly that he would be lost if he was thrown in the crowd, so there was no need for such trouble!

Ji Chen smiled, knowing that his little apprentice was making troublesome self-deprecating words.How is Chu Yan so ordinary?Although he was not born in a fairyland, he was outstanding among all the disciples in Ziwei Palace.It is even said that Chu Yan is very different among his apprentices.

What is the difference?

Ji Chen looked at the green boy walking in front of him.

Warm, sincere, and indomitable.Perhaps it is precisely because he is not a youth of the Xian family who is not dusty and ignorant of suffering, that he is more resolute, would rather bend than bend, and does not have the many burdens and views of other disciples in his heart.He said that he was willing to stay in the Ziwei Palace for the rest of his life as a child serving tea and pouring water, and nothing else. Ji Chen believed him.After all, the boy's eyes were not stained with dust due to the passage of time.Like the child in the heavy snow that night, except for the most simple desire for life, it seems that there is nothing else to ask for.

Chu Yan's appearance remained as a young boy of seventeen or eighteen, which was inseparable from his cultivation in Ziwei Palace.The earlier a mortal attains the Tao, the more his appearance can be maintained in his youth.Someone in the same school knew that he was a mortal, so they whispered and laughed secretly, saying that they wanted to see him grow from a child to an old man. After all, it is not easy to practice Taoism, and not everyone can comprehend the mystery of eternal youth.

However, those senior brothers who originally planned to watch his jokes were very disappointed, because although Chu Yan was recruited by Ziwei Palace exceptionally, he did have the capital to let Ji Chen break the precedent.

Chu Yan was content with whatever happened, even acted according to his whim, but he was very talented and highly qualified.After entering the teacher's school, he had no ambition to be outstanding, and he had no ambition to be among the immortals in the future. However, the speed of progress far surpassed those who had joined the school long before him. The way of cultivating immortals dare not make mistakes again.

"Old man, please go, it's very hot, let's go and sit under the shade of a tree." Beside Chu Yan was an old man with gray temples, who seemed to be overheated by the sun, and his figure was staggering. Staggering and being supported by Chu Yan, he gasped heavily.

"Oh, it's useless when you're old, thank you, young man." The old man began to recover after being pinched by Chu Yan.His face was flushed, and he gratefully grasped Chu Yan's hand as if he had found support, and refused to let go for a long time.

"It's okay, uncle. It's hot. You should rest well and take care of yourself." The old man's hand was like rough pine bark, with dirt stains on it. Chu Yan let the old man hold him without hesitation. is familiar.

Ji Chen stood silently by the side, seeing some unsold vegetables on the old man's burden beside him, and they were wilted by the scorching sun.

"It's still hot here, why don't you go to the tea shop over there for a meeting, old man, let's go together."

"Okay, master, I'm thirsty! Uncle, let's go together!" Hearing this, Chu Yan cheerfully helped the old man suffering from heatstroke, and dragged him to the tea shop on the side of the road.

"Eh? This, isn't this good? This is too troublesome!"

"Don't bother, don't bother, we're tired from walking and we're about to drink some water, uncle is here to accompany us!" Chu Yan laughed and helped the old man pick up the burden of vegetables, and they walked away together.On the one hand, he admired his master very much, and the master was the master, and he calmly resolved the embarrassment of the old man. In midsummer, even the ground was boiling hot, and he really didn't go into the shop to drink tea to cool off.

The tea shop built next to the river, the water waves wash away, and the tea is fragrant.

Ji Chen quietly put a few flavors of other traditional Chinese medicine in the old man's tea. After the old man drank it, the summer heat was relieved and his eyes cleared up.

"Are the two benefactors foreigners? You came to Siping Town to visit the mountains and rivers?" The old man began to chat with them when he felt comfortable.

"Yes, my master and I came to Jiangnan for a trip, and we happened to come to Siping Town. The green mountains and beautiful waters here are so beautiful! The scenery is stable and the name is good, good!" Chu Yan admired from the bottom of his heart, which made the uncle feel good , The mental head is also much better.

"Young man, you have a good eye. Our place is really outstanding, Hua Tianbao. I like it here. You should stay longer!"

The old man hit it off with Chu Yan very much, and he pulled Chu Yan to talk about the local conditions and customs of Siping Town in detail, and talked about the pleasant climate here.

Ji Chen was drinking tea quietly at the side, and smiled knowingly at the ease of his apprentice.

Chu Yan has been very active since he came to the lower realm, and Ji Chen was very touched when he saw the little apprentice talking endlessly.In the fairy world, this person is notoriously cunning and difficult to get along with. He has little acquaintance with his fellow students, and even talks with words like gold.Unexpectedly, as soon as he came to the mortal world, he would show his true colors. Whether it is traffickers or pawns, women and children, they are all polite and treat everyone equally.

Perhaps taking him to Ziwei Palace made the child feel lonely. . . . . .

Following him, who doesn't eat fireworks in the world and doesn't have the seven emotions and six desires, is always accompanied by the green lamp. Although he is immortal, he is not as lively as in the world.At that time, Chu Yan was still young, and he felt that such a child was lonely and might not be able to live alone, so he was still worried about it when he returned to the sky.After thinking about it, he felt that it would be a good thing to bring this child back to heaven to practice immortality. He was accepted as a disciple against all odds, but Chu Yan was out of place and isolated among the disciples of the immortal family.

Although Chu Yan always said that he was fine, and that he felt satisfied following him to practice immortality and clean the palace, Chu Yan was not a natural immortal like him after all. Does Chu Yan really feel happy for such a lonely life?

Ji Chen didn't know what Chu Yan was thinking, but looking at the young disciple who was talking and laughing at the moment, he could easily feel that this child was much happier than when he was in Ziwei Palace.

"Uncle, are you feeling better?" Chu Yanpei chatted with the old man for a while, seeing that the old man looked good, he asked with concern.

"Okay, okay! It's all over, my legs and feet are working now, I have to thank you two benefactors!" The uncle cupped his hands and bowed, Chu Yan helped him up, and Ji Chen nodded and smiled.

"Both benefactors, since you are newcomers, do you have a place to stay tonight?" The man asked when he saw that Ji Chen and his disciples had paid tea money and wanted to leave.

"Uncle, Master and I are used to wandering. If there is an inn to live in, the barren mountains and wild mountains will not trouble us without an inn. Don't worry!" Chu Yan said.

"How can this be possible? Although Siping Town is a good place, but the nearest... is not possible, the visitor is a guest, and the two of you are kind to me. If the old man doesn't know the map, let the two sleep in the wilderness. It's a sin!" The old man regained his energy and even became more energetic. He took the burden that Chu Yan helped him carry on his shoulders, held Chu Yan's hand tightly and said, "Young man, what's the matter?" With this master, if you don’t dislike it, you can live in the old man’s house tonight! Although the house is simple, it can provide shelter from the wind and rain, and you can eat and drink. If I don’t meet you two today, something will happen. , this kindness must be repaid by me!"

The old man was very kind, and he was very close to Chu Yan, so he took his hand and dragged him home. Chu Yan smiled and said no, but it was still difficult to refuse.Looking at Ji Chen with some embarrassment, Ji Chen nodded and set off for the old man's house together.

The creek is murmuring, and the smoke is curling up. It is a pastoral scene where the sun rises and the sunset rests.

Comfortable, calm, and the warmth of the world.

"The mountain road is difficult to walk, so be careful. When I get home, my old lady will have cooked some hot food and rice. Eat more then!" The old man was hospitable, and Chu Yan was dragged behind him.Seeing that the old man was so warm to him but not considerate to his master, Chu Yan couldn't help but look back at Ji Chen apologetically.

Ji Chen smiled and motioned him to follow that man and leave him alone.

In fact, his footsteps are light, and the mountain road is like walking on flat ground. How can he fall behind?But seeing that the old man is kind to the young apprentice, he doesn't want to disturb their chatting.

"Young man, old man, you and I are very destined! Haha, this must be fate!" The old man said with a smile as he walked.

"Yes, I also happened to pass by Siping Town, so I met you, Uncle, what a fate!" Chu Yan has been in the fairyland for decades, and his hometown Wanfu Village has changed. An amiable old man.

"That's right, young man, the old man looks at you very well. I don't know if young man is so handsome, can he have a marriage?"

The uncle's eyes sparkled, and he looked at Chu Yan and said what was in his heart.

"Ah?" Chu Yan didn't expect the uncle to say that, and his face turned red.Thinking that he has stayed in the fairy world for so many years, and he has devoted himself to cultivating in Taoism, so where has he ever thought about it like this.That's great, why did this talk happen? !

"No, no, I'm a cultivator, so naturally I don't have a wife. Uncle, you are telling a joke!"

Chu Yan waved his hands and said in a hurry, how could he know that the old man smiled when he heard it, and he was even happier.

"Young hero, I have a little girl who is still in the boudoir. Although she is not a lady of everyone, she is also kind-hearted. I don't know if the young hero intends to stay here to marry a wife and have children to live a peaceful and comfortable life?" Let's talk.

"Ah?!" Chu Yan was really shocked when he heard that, why did he get into such a thing for no reason?this. . . . . .Chu Yan was very embarrassed, and looked back at Ji Chen, only to find that his master stopped not far away and looked at him, his eyes were clear and clear, as if he was also stunned.

Ji Chen turned his head and turned away from that line of sight.

Although I faintly felt that this was the case, hearing it with my own ears was a huge shock.

Chu Yan was raised by him alone. If he really didn't go back to Ziwei Palace like this, his loss and melancholy would be justified. . . . . .

In the evening, the harmonious family, including Chu Yan and Ji Chen, sat around the round table.

Pheasant, asparagus, homemade rice wine and various game.

"Young man, thank you for your kind help. My old man is just trying to be brave. He picks vegetables and sells them even though he is not feeling well, which is causing trouble for the two of you!" The old man's wife is also a kind person. Because of the cause and effect, he immediately took out the best mountain products to treat him.

The girl sitting opposite Chu Yan is the old man's only daughter, named Lian'er.

Shyly, her face was flushed by the lights, her eyebrows and eyes were beautiful, and she had the gentleness of Jiangnan women, and she looked at Chu Yan's face inadvertently with affection.It seems that Lang Youqing's sister is really interested.

The old man looked at the couple, not to mention how happy he was.

I wish that Chu Yan would be happy when he saw his daughter, that would be a great joy.

"Here, Chu Shaoxia's master, I, an old man in the mountains, don't know much about etiquette, so I'm going straight to talk to you, an elder. Look, is the other disciple and my daughter right? "

Ji Chen ate the rice in his mouth, but couldn't taste it.Suddenly being touched by the old man, he raised his head in a state of complete disorientation.
