System: I am a second-hand dealer in the world of immortality
Chapter 8 The life-saving grace of just three cakes
There was a person lying on the altar of the mountain temple. To be precise, Shen Xia saw a white mass huddled on the altar. Shen Xia didn't know for a moment whether it was the mountain god who showed up and dedicated himself to say something, or whether he was simply unlucky and could go out for a walk. A "side mission" is triggered, and it seems to be a "side mission" without any reward at present.
"Little love, little love."
"Host, may I ask if you have any questions?"
"Is this a side mission you posted?"
"I'm sorry, Xiao Ai can't understand your question. Please ask the host to describe it again."
It seems that this unknown creature has nothing to do with the system. Should I take care of it? After much hesitation, Shen Xia broke off a branch from the nearby bush and slowly approached the mountain temple.
Xie Chengyun was woken up by being poked. He opened his eyes with difficulty and saw a girl poking himself with a wooden stick. Instinctively, the first word out of his mouth was: "Hungry..."
Yes, he fainted from hunger. He has not yet reached the golden elixir stage and cannot completely escape from the grain. Originally, he brought enough elixirs and spiritual stones for this trip to the mortal world. Unfortunately, he is a soft-hearted person. When he saw poor people during his travels, he couldn't help but give alms.
He was walking on the road well. He was lamenting that he had done good things and he must publicize them when he returned to the sect. He saw a large group of people rushing towards him. He thought they were all here to thank him. After all, he did He has brought so many good people and good deeds.
As a result, the group of people swarmed in and started to touch him before he could speak. Before Xie Chengyun could react, all the pills, spiritual stones and silver he had on him were snatched away, and some even tried to snatch his waist. Fortunately, the jade pendant was imprisoned and they couldn't snatch it away.
The master said that he could not use magic on mortals casually, but he endured it, thinking that sooner or later these things would have to be given out as charity. If he wanted to blame him, he would blame himself for doing too many good things and being too popular.
Forget it, I didn’t expect that the bag of mustard seeds I left in the inn was also stolen. The innkeeper actually insisted that he had never seen his bag of mustard seeds. Not only that, when settling the room fee, the shopkeeper also asked for an exorbitant price, and finally took Xie Chengyun. The hairpin set with rubies on her head was removed.
The stolen mustard bag contained magic weapons and spiritual stones given by his master and senior brothers and sisters. Xie Chengyun was not worried about where it would end up. The mustard bag had his divine consciousness seal and sect mark on it. Anyone other than him could It can't be opened. When the time comes, you can just go back to the sect and ask your senior brothers and sisters to help them go down the mountain to retrieve it.
It's just that far water can't dissolve near fire. Now his mustard bag is gone, and the elixirs and spiritual stones on his body are gone, and the magic weapons on his body are expressly prohibited from being sold and circulated in the mortal world.
The penniless Xie Chengyun thought of the people he had helped before, thinking that he could also help stutter, but he didn't expect that every one of them turned their backs and refused to acknowledge him, saying that they had never seen him before. How could he help them?
This is what Xie Chengyun hates. Originally, when he came out to practice, he was looking for a chance to advance to the Golden Core stage, but he didn't find the chance, which made him a mess.
Xie Chengyun remembered that before going down the mountain, his senior brothers and sisters said that most people in the mortal world are greedy. He still didn't believe it. He originally wanted to be generous to the world with a compassionate heart, but now he was slapped in the face. If several major sects had not jointly agreed to prohibit killing in the mortal world, he would definitely have killed all these ungrateful people.
So Xie Chengyun slept in the open air along the way, and occasionally relied on tributes from the temple to fill his stomach. He didn't rest on the road these days. He only thought about taking the flying boat back to the sect when he arrived in Tiansheng City, but when he arrived in Qingshi Town, his body The consumption was too much and I couldn't support it anymore. I finally found this mountain temple and wanted to get some offerings to eat, but it was still abandoned for a long time.
Now it's better, I thought that I would probably die in the wilderness. I don't know when my brothers and sisters found my body. I won't starve to death in the mortal world and become a joke in the immortal world, right?
Before he felt that he was about to faint from hunger, Xie Chengyun quickly performed the Body Purification Technique and the Dust Removal Technique to clean himself and the altar. He wanted to be a decent ghost even if he died.
Shen Xia looked at the weak opening of the man in front of him and the extremely longing eyes, but still took out a cooking cake from the oil paper bag. He saw that the man finished the cooking cake in three mouthfuls, and then blinked pitifully. Staring at Shen Xia.
Shen Xia couldn't bear to see this look. She felt like a pair of furry ears would grow on this man's head in the next second. Who could resist a handsome guy looking at you pitifully?
I could only hand over all the cakes in the oil paper bags as if resigned to my fate, and also thoughtfully handed over the water bag. The beauty is misleading!
However, Shen Xia was not completely clueless. She saw that this man's clothes were all made of brocade, with patterns embroidered with gold thread. The jade pendant around his waist looked brighter than the Pisces jade pendant given by Mr. Hu. Shen Xia was sure that this was a young master from a wealthy family, and he would definitely blackmail him later.
As for why it appears here? who cares. Shen Xia looked at the devouring young master in front of him, and became even more sure that it was definitely not the mountain god who appeared. No mountain god would behave like this after he appeared, right?
Xie Chengyun finally regained his breath after finishing up the sesame cakes handed over by Shen Xia. It was so close that he, a talented young man, almost died here.
However, this girl couldn't be sent by the mountain god to save him, right? Probably not. He had never seen any mountain god be so picky and stubborn, only willing to give him three pancakes.
Shen Xia looked at Xie Chengyun who was full of suspicion and couldn't help laughing: "Hey, I saved you, you have to say a few words, right? Introduce yourself?"
Xie Chengyun cleared his throat: "My name is Xie Chengyun, I am 17 this year... Wait, don't worry about who I am, who are you? What is the purpose of saving me?" Xie Chengyun hugged himself tightly, as if he was being bullied. little daughter-in-law.
Shen Xia was amused by Xie Chengyun's logic. Does this young master have persecution delusions? This abandoned mountain temple, as a mere passerby, I can't give alms with good intentions, but I still want to make money and kill people?
Shen Xia was a little confused about the young master's thinking. After thinking for a while, he said, "Me? I was just passing by here. I heard that there is a mountain temple on Qingshi Mountain, and I wanted to go up the mountain to worship the mountain god. As for you? If it weren't for me, Three cooking cakes, how can you still talk to me now? That is my entire ration today."
Xie Chengyun suddenly realized that this man was not sent by the mountain god, but just a kind-hearted person passing by.
Xie Chengyun came down from the altar and straightened his clothes: "Thank you, girl, I...I also passed by this place. I heard that the mountain temple on Qingshi Mountain is very spiritual, so I came up to worship. Maybe...maybe it was from the mountain. The journey was so tiring that I accidentally fell asleep while lying on the altar."
Xie Chengyun didn't want others to know about his embarrassment, so he made up other excuses.
Good guy, why don’t you ever mention the favor of saving your life? It seems like he wasn't the one who just ate three cakes?
Shen Xia was a little unhappy. She curled her lips and said, "Master Xie, I gave you all my rations. You can't turn your back on me. But I see that Master Xie is so impressive. That kind of young person."
Wow, this is the first person to praise him for his magnificence without doing anything.
Under the background of those people before, Xie Chengyun's favorability towards Shen Xia gradually increased: "Don't worry, I am definitely not the kind of person who is obsessed with fish and forgets the fish. I don't have many things in my possessions along the way. Well, let’s do this, I’ll give you a treasure.”
After saying that, Xie Chengyun raised his right hand and shook it slightly, and a pair of jade bracelets inlaid with jade dragons and bamboo knots appeared out of thin air on his wrists. The bracelets were all imperial green and the color was clear. As Xie Chengyun's hands shook, the two bracelets also emitted sounds. A crisp sound.
Xie Chengyun waved his left hand gently, and the pair of bracelets fell off automatically and floated in the air. Xie Chengyun reached out to grab it and handed it to Shen Xia: "Here, these are the ones my teacher... uh... my family gave me for self-defense. Baby, I give it to you."
Although magic weapons are prohibited from being circulated in the mortal world, this is his savior, and these jade bracelets are only defensive magic weapons and have little lethality.
Even if the master knew about it, he would definitely only praise him for repaying his kindness. Xie Chengyun convinced himself and planned to give the pair of jade bracelets to Shen Xia.
Shen Xia looked at the whole process of Xie Chengyun taking the jade bracelet, as well as his flawed words and unreasonable way of showing up. His eyes darkened, and he was already thinking about it.
Shen Xia did not accept the pair of bracelets, but asked with a worried look: "Mr. Xie, I have never seen such a good treasure, but you gave me this thing, what should you do? And it's just three cakes. His life-saving grace is not worthy of such a heavy gift."
Oh my God! What kind of little angel is this? Xie Chengyun felt his eyes wet. If all the people he had saved before were like the girl in front of him, he wouldn't be in this situation!
Seeing that Shen Xia refused to accept it, Xie Chengyun pushed her towards her again: "Girl, you said it was a life-saving grace. My life is worth more than this. If I hadn't uh... given alms all the way before, When all our wealth is gone, I will definitely give you something better!"
Xie Chengyun, not to mention Shen Xia, could guess that Xie Chengyun must have brought a lot of good things with him, but the young master was so silly and sweet that he might have been deceived.
Unfortunately, Xie Chengyun met Shen Xia. Shen Xia was different from those who only saw immediate benefits. Shen Xia wanted more than just this pair of jade bracelets.
After all, it was a life-saving grace. Such a great kindness should be repaid slowly.
