I respect him so fragrant

Compared with the bloody storm outside, Nanping is rarely peaceful.There are people coming and going on the street, bustling and bustling, and it looks peaceful and prosperous.If he hadn't been used to seeing monsters and beasts rampant and desolate scenes, Xie Yao would almost have thought that he had returned to the peaceful world in his memory ten years ago.

Today is the fifteenth day, and Nanping Street is full of colorful and colorful lanterns.He looked at the surging sea of ​​light that could not be seen at a glance, and at the smiling people passing by, inexplicably, the scene of floating corpses everywhere and blood flowing into rivers that he saw in the past appeared before his eyes.

At this moment, Xie Yao, who has always shown people with a smiling face, couldn't laugh anymore.

Even though he was wearing a flowing silver half-hidden face, but he was dressed in green like a luxuriant forest and bamboo, which still attracted many girls to look back frequently.

But no one noticed the guilt and confusion in his eyes under the mask.

The vendors around were shouting hard.

"Lantern! Beautiful lantern!"

"Young master, do you want to see the rouge? Buy a box and go home to make the lady happy."

"Sugar Cake Flower Cake Almond Crisp..."

Xie Yao suddenly stopped.

He turned his head and saw a hawker selling candied haws huddled in a corner.It was freezing cold, and the hawker had only thin clothes and shoes, and was pitifully frozen.

Xie Yao stepped forward, squatted down, and asked softly, "Excuse me..."

The peddler didn't seem to expect anyone to patronize his business, he was taken aback for a moment, and then panicked, "Master, do you want to buy candied haws?"

"I'll buy it." Xie Yao stared at him and said warmly.

The peddler reached out for a straw gourd stand that was big enough for candied haws, and asked cautiously, "How many bunches do you want to buy, my lord?"

"Is everything ok?"

"All?" The peddler repeated, "My lord, have you finished eating?"

Xie Yao smiled and didn't answer him, but continued: "However, can I ask you a question first?"

"What do you want to ask, son?"

"How many candied haws can you sell in a day?"

"About seven or eight skewers, it can't be sold out." The peddler really wanted to sell a smiling face, but it was too cold, his face was frozen and he couldn't smile at all.

"How much is a string?"

"Ten pennies."

"Ten cents?"

"Master, do you think it's expensive?" The peddler became nervous and stammered, "Then nine cents? Or eight cents?"

Xie Yao shook his head, preventing him from continuing to lower the price: "It's not expensive, there's no price increase, and you don't have to lower it."

Xie Yao said again: "It's just that according to the amount you sell in a day, you can barely cover your stomach with the money you earn."

"The world outside is so chaotic, Nanping doesn't know how long it can last." The peddler said, "People like us who have escaped from the disaster are already alive, so how dare we ask for so much."

"Where did you escape from?"

"Quanqing Town."

Hearing the word Quanqing Town, Xie Yao lost his mind for a moment.Many memories flooded his mind, and he didn't know how to react for a while.

After thinking about it, he asked a question with a clear answer without thinking: "What about that place...?"

"There's no one left." The peddler said, "There's no one there."

Ten years ago at the foot of Wanyue Fairy Mountain, the bustling and bustling town became a deserted and desolate place ten years later.

"Oh." Xie Yao nodded slightly.

"Uh... Young Master, you...you...do you still buy candied gourds?" Seeing that he was stunned for a long time without speaking, the peddler couldn't help asking.

Xie Yao came back to his senses: "Buy, I'll buy." After he finished speaking, he began to feel for his wallet, trying to take out some silver taels, but he fumbled and fumbled, but he didn't get the money, only found a poor embroidery worker. sachet.

Where did this sachet come from?Xie Yao looked surprised, as if he had never seen it before.

But now is not the time to speculate on where the sachets came from.Because the peddler was staring at him with eyes full of expectation.

"This..." Xie Yao was a little embarrassed for a moment, not knowing how to explain.

"I'll pay for him."

A deep and restrained voice sounded, and Xie Yao felt inexplicably familiar.He turned his head, and saw a man wearing a black robe with a jade crown standing beside him, with a half-faced silver like him.And the pair of eyes under the mask were looking at him calmly.

Xie Yao stood up suddenly.

The man in xuanyi reached out and handed a bulging money bag to the peddler, intending to pay.Seeing so much money for the first time, the peddler shrank and dared not take it: "Master, this is too much..."

"You still think too much?"

"...It's really too much." The peddler muttered.

The man in black frowned, seemingly impatient, and said coldly, "Then are you going to sell it or not?"

The peddler was frightened, nodded quickly and said, "Sell it, I'll sell it."

Seeing that he finally agreed, the man in black threw the money bag in front of him, then took the straw shelf full of candied haws, walked up to Xie Yao who was completely stunned, and said bluntly, "Here are the candied haws."

"Oh."

"Give me the sachet."

Sachet?Xie Yao came back to his senses and glanced at the poorly made sachet in his hand.

"...No." He shook his head, "No."

The man in black said: "Give me the sachet, and I'll give you the candied haws. We'll each get what we need, okay?"

"What do you want it for?" Xie Yao asked without answering, "Is it yours?"

"...No." The man in black denied.

"It's not yours, so why do you want it?"

"Is it important to you?"

"In other words, do we know each other?"

Every time he asked a question, Xie Yao took a step forward.Seeing that the distance between the two gradually narrowed, the man in black suddenly turned around and said, "Forget it, I don't want anything anymore."

Xie Yao was taken aback for a moment, then saw the man in black turned back and stuffed the whole candied haws rack into his hand: "This is your reward."

reward?

But no one has ever dared to reward him.

Xie Yao glanced at the candied haws stand in his hand, then at the back of the man in black, raised his eyebrows, and thought.

He took a bunch of candied haws from the grass rack, and then returned all the rest to the peddler who was still immersed in the joy of "heavenly wealth".Then he followed in the footsteps of the man in Xuanyi and followed.

***

Nanping Gu's arena.

The wonderful competition just now made the people in the audience feel unsatisfied, and they haven't left yet.And the winner has already gone to Gu's mansion with the Gu family's children, becoming one of the recruited talents.

Everyone in the audience, including the rest of the Gu family who guarded the ring, thought that there would be no more competitions today.A young man in green clothes with a mask dragged a young man in black clothes with the same mask onto the ring.

"This..." A member of the Gu family saw that these two were extraordinary, not like ordinary people, and hurriedly said, "Did the two immortal masters come to the wrong place? This is the place where the Gu family recruits sages, so it's not like they can settle down at will." place."

Hearing this, Xie Yao bowed to him, and said loudly: "I know this is the Gu family arena, so I came here to borrow it."

"borrow?"

"Yes, borrow it." Xie Yao pointed to himself and the man in black at the side, and said, "I set up a competition with this young master, and I want to use this ring, and I hope everyone in the audience will bear witness for us, show justice."

Several Gu family disciples exchanged glances with each other, and the leader of the Gu family disciple immediately replied: "If the immortal master wants this, our Gu family will not be able to stop it. I just hope that the two immortal masters will be careful when they compete, and don't hurt the stage." Down with the people."

Xie Yao nodded and smiled: "That's natural."

"I don't know how the two of you will decide the outcome?"

"Mask." Xie Yao said, "Whoever drops the mask first loses."

"Why the spirit weapon?"

Xie Yao raised the candied haws in his hand: "This."

Discussions suddenly erupted in the audience, vaguely mixed with laughter and boos.

"Then... what about this fairy teacher?"

The man in xuanyi glanced at the headed Gu family disciple, and said coldly, "I'll let him take a step, but not a sword."

The discussion in the audience became louder.

At first, I thought the background of these two was so great, but I never thought that one weapon was a candied haws, and the other didn't even have a spiritual weapon at all, it was like a joke.

Seeing that the two of them didn't seem serious about fighting, the Gu family's children stopped asking, "Then... you two, please start."

Xie Yao got the order, straightened his clothes, bowed seriously to the man in black, and said, "I'm Xie Yao, please enlighten me."

The man in black didn't return the salute, but said coldly: "Remember our agreement."

"I dare not forget." Xie Yao responded with a smile.

As soon as the words fell, the man in black clothes exerted force on his feet and flew towards Xie Yao, reaching out to take the mask, the speed was jaw-dropping.Xie Yao was not afraid either, he stretched his arms and leaned back, narrowly dodging a move, then exerted strength on his waist, and spun around to avoid the back move of the man in black.

Three times, five divisions, two people, you come and go, no one is left behind.

I also stared blankly at the people who sneered at them at first.

On the stage, the man in black clothes stood where Xie Yao was standing before, and said, "Good posture."

"That's natural." Xie Yao was not humble, with a smug look, "This is just the beginning."

"Oh?" The man in black squinted his eyes slightly, with a look of interest, "I'm looking forward to it."

Xie Yao stepped lightly, walked a few times to the side of the man in black, stretched out the candied haws in his right hand, and wanted to use one end to pick out his mask.The man in black dodged lightly, and was about to say that it would be difficult to get into the ring, but Xie Yao suddenly stretched out his left hand and tapped his acupuncture points.Even though he had specially practiced spells and wouldn't be easily fixed by acupoints, half of his body was still paralyzed for a few seconds, and he lost his superiority.

"It's called east and west." Xie Yao generously shared the name of the move with him.

And in these few seconds, Xie Yao sealed his spirit vein and dumb acupoint respectively.

"This is called taking advantage of the fire."

It's a few more tricks. "This is called killing with a borrowed knife." "This is called Jin Chan's escape." "This is called serial tricks."

After being defeated by the move, the man in Xuanyi finally got serious. He was agile and wanted to take the key to Xie Yao's various tricks - candied haws.Seeing his aggressive attack, Xie Yao hurriedly backed away, but unexpectedly, the man in black kicked his calf sideways while he was unaware, his steps softened, and he was about to fall backwards, and the candied haws in his hand would also fall.

Everyone thought that Xie Yao would fall in embarrassment, including himself.

Unexpectedly, the man in black suddenly reached out to catch the candied haws, and then put his arms around his waist.The two stopped on the ring in an ambiguous posture.

None of the masks fell off.

There was an uproar in the audience.This exciting competition in the middle of a hasty opening seemed to end hastily.

And the man in the black robe hooked his lips into a smile, and whispered into Xie Yao's ear, word by word: "You lose, give me the sachet."

His fingers had already hooked Xie Yao's flowing silver side, and with a little force, the whole competition was over.

Unexpectedly, Xie Yao suddenly took off his mask on his own initiative, revealing a face that would amaze anyone for thousands of years.

"No hurry." Xie Yao whispered back, "The competition is not over yet."

Then he took a deep breath, leaned slightly closer, and kissed the lips of the person in front of him.

Although they were hugging each other, they were standing with their backs to everyone in the audience.No one could see this kiss except the two of them.

During this kiss, Xie Yao took the opportunity to remove the mask of the man in black.

The half-face of Liuyin fell in response.

A familiar, but more calm and handsome face due to years of honing appeared in front of his eyes.

"I abstained, it's not considered a loss." Xie Yao stared at the eyes that had been engraved in his heart long ago, and his voice was mixed with the trembling that only he could feel, "We are tied, Mr. Hanjiang."

According to the previous agreement, if I lose, I will give you the sachet, and if you lose, you promise me one condition.

In the event of a tie—

"Then how about we agree to each other's conditions?" Xie Yao asked casually at that time.

"Okay." At that time, Mr. Hanjiang thought he would not lose, so he agreed casually.

But the current Lord Hanjiang knew that he had fallen into the trap set by Xie Yao, but he was not annoyed, he just hugged the person in his arms tighter, and said in a low voice: "Dare to ask Shuiyue Xianzun, what is the name of this move? "

"Beauty trick." Xie Yao replied, "I am a beauty, and you fell for it."

"That's right," Lord Hanjiang smiled lowly, "This plan is very clever, and it won my heart."

The author has something to say: Later Nanfeng Xianzun learned about this: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha I never thought that you, Xie Yao, would have a day of betraying your luster...

A certain Uncle Xie: Are you looking for a draw?Do you know what it means to use your own strengths to turn defeat into victory?
