Heaven is here to torture me

The warm spring sun, through the green and tender new buds effortlessly, sprinkles mottled under the trees.

The shallow tender grass swayed freely on both sides of the official road, and was blown straight by the wind blown by the speeding carriage.

A strong green horse briskly pulled the gray-roofed cart, with its hooves bursting, and flew towards the looming city in front, raising dust and smoke on both sides of the ancient road.

A young man sat in the front of the car, holding the rein in one hand and the whip in the other.

He was wearing a military uniform, which seemed to be deliberately open, revealing a piece of wheat-colored skin.

His slightly curly long hair was tied into a braid casually by him, and the ends of the braid fluttered wildly in the wind, as if a brush of thick ink had been splashed on it.

A pair of long and narrow eyes, black pupils were illuminated translucently, faintly glowing with a golden light.

He held a straw in his mouth, chewed it twice from time to time, and let out a small whisper and chuckle.

"After entering the city, go to the Treasure Store first. After I sell the junk, I'll buy you snacks and a beautiful cloak!"

"Don't worry, we've made a lot of money along the way, I'm not short of money!"

"Oh, by the way, I have to buy a mask. My Axue is so pretty, how can I make it cheaper for others!"

"..."

That voice had a rising tone, a little presumptuous, a little playful, but also full of pampering.

It's just that everything seemed to be the young man talking to himself, and he still couldn't hear a response from the people in the car.

Feng couldn't hold back his curiosity, mustered all his energy, and lifted the curtain on the car.

Under the curtain, a thin and cold white shadow flickered away, and the silver hair reflected a faint cold light, which seemed like moonlight and sword glow.

Not long after, the carriage entered Luoqing City at the foot of Yuanzong Mountain, the No. [-] righteous sect in the world, and stopped at the gate of the largest auction house in Luoqing City—Zhenbao.

Several female cultivators beside the road couldn't help looking up. Although the coachman was dressed plainly and rough, he was born in a very good shape. The reason seems to be a little low, just a little servant who has just started at the third level of qi refining.

The girls couldn't help daydreaming about the people in the car.

To have a servant with such a handsome appearance and such an extraordinary temperament, how unparalleled and peerless the master of this car should be?

Under the curious eyes of the people around him, the young coachman carefully lifted the curtain and reached into the compartment with one hand, his tone was extremely soft, with a soft and lazy tone: "Baby ~ we are here."

baby?Could it be the female relatives?

The hearts of the spectators couldn't help raising their throats, looking forward, looking forward, and saw a white and slender arm stretched out, gently resting on the arm of the coachman.

That arm was as white as falling snow from the Tianshan Mountains. It was thin and fluffy, and there was a touch of tenderness under the fleshy palm... No matter how you looked at it, it didn't look like a human being!

When everyone took a closer look, they could only see a white shadow flickering. The coachman had already taken his "baby" out of the carriage, wrapped it tightly in his collar, and raised his eyebrows and stared at the spectators around him provocatively.

"Go, go, look at what! Look at your own wife!" Ning Shu drove the crowd away, but the hand hidden in his arms was stroking along the smooth and supple fur, feeling very unhappy.

Which daughter-in-law can look as good-looking as his baby Axue? !

"Please, guest officer!" The treasurer's eyes were sharper than ordinary people's. Although he only had a quick glance and couldn't see the whole thing, he still told him to see the leopard from the uncovered place. His heart warmed up and he greeted him in person. .

If you read correctly, what the man hides in his arms is a cat!

Cats are rare in this world.

Legend has it that 3000 years ago, the demon emperor ascended and took away most of the cat clan, leaving only a few cats left in the mortal world.

Among these cats left behind, there is a kind of civet that can transform into a human form without magic, and can lead people who are destined to enter the blessed land left by the demon emperor, but few people have seen it in the past 3000 years.

However, even ordinary cats, as descendants of the demon queen, have auspicious functions such as solving disasters, exorcising evil and avoiding evil, attracting wealth and making treasures, etc., and are loved by the world.

But often those who have the opportunity to serve the cat master are either rich or noble, especially alchemists with extremely high status.

It is said that with a cat by your side, alchemy will get twice the result with half the effort, but every master of alchemy must have a cat at home.

Ever since, a cat has almost become a status symbol of alchemy masters.

Although the young man in front of him looks too shabby and young, he doesn't look like a master of alchemy, but he is very likely to be a disciple or servant of a certain master, and he must not be offended!

"The guest officer came by coincidence. The shop has just brought in some fresh herbs recently..." The shopkeeper rubbed his fists, his eyes went straight into Ning Shuyi's arms, wanting to see the face of the respected cat.

"Just look at these!" Ning Shu blocked his sight, stretched out his hand, and shook out piles of messy things, which scattered on the ground "pingling, bangling", and some medicine bottles kept rolling to the door.

The shopkeeper was a little dumbfounded.With a cursory glance, he can figure out that there are no particularly valuable commodities in these things, they are nothing more than some crude earth-level weapons, skills, some low-level medicines, runes...

However, the number of these cheap things is extremely large, and within three or four breaths, the entire main room is almost filled, and they merge into huge waves, pushing towards the backyard.

The shopkeeper hurriedly asked someone to help with the counting, and politely made a seat for Ning Shu, served a cup of good tea, and put on the clothes.

"May I ask where the distinguished guest is from?"

"North!" Ning Shu pointed out the door, pointing to the blue-gray city wall not far away, but his gaze swept across the city and drifted towards the clouds, "In the far, far north..."

north?The shopkeeper was a bit puzzled, there were no great schools going north from Luoqingcheng, but there were quite a few bandits in the village, so what kind of alchemy masters could there be in the backcountry?

But before he could figure it out, Ning Shu left him and ran to the side with the cat in his arms to watch the people count, and sometimes he would do a little "favor": "Boy, you remember wrongly, there are 67 bottles of Huaxue Pill. You missed two bottles!"

"My heavy iron sword weighs one hundred and eight catties. You underestimated it by three catties. If you don't believe me, go and weigh it!"

"There are 34 fire talismans, how could it be recorded as 33? Hey, your shop is not a black shop, is it?"

Treasurer:  …

Judging by the way this guy cares about every detail, he might not be from a great sect, but he probably thinks too much...

Feeling that he had made a mistake, the shopkeeper didn't bother to talk to Ning Shuyi any more, he just taught the people below to settle the accounts, and took the Lingshi to send them away.

"Guest officer, here are your spirit stones. There are three high-grade spirit stones, forty medium-grade spirit stones and fifty low-grade spirit stones in total. Please keep them safe." A clerk handed over the heavy spirit stone package to Turning to Ning Shu, he glanced at the door, and kindly reminded, "There are many people in the city these two days, fish and dragons are mixed together, guest officials are newcomers, so be careful!"

As soon as Ning Shu took the package, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a few people dressed as casual cultivators at the door.

Those people all had sharp mouths and monkey cheeks, with sinister expressions, and a faint smell of blood on their bodies, probably because they have been used to murder and robbery for many years.

Stuffing the package back into the storage ring, Ning Shu cupped his fists and smiled at the kind clerk: "Thank you for reminding me, the carriage outside the door will take you off, farewell."

After finishing speaking, he went straight to the door, deliberately slowing down his pace, glanced contemptuously at those casual cultivators, laughed provocatively, and then walked away.

"This kid!" A casual cultivator stared coldly at Ning Shuyi's back, revealing his white fangs, "I'm just in the Qi refining period, I'm afraid I'm tired of working!"

"I think he has gained a lot, why not..." The other person licked the corner of his lips and made a gesture of wiping his neck, then picked up his sword, followed Ning Shu, and walked towards a secluded path.

Ning Shu got into the deep alley, and suddenly felt a heat in his chest. He lowered his head and saw a pair of translucent and crystal-clear black pearls showing a hint of worry. The soft pink flesh pads gently patted his chest. The chest seemed to remind him to be careful.

"It's okay." Ning Shu touched the cat's furry face, and just as he finished speaking, he heard a shout from behind.

"stop!"

"Boy," the other person said with a sly smile, "Do you know where this is? But how dare you act wildly on your grandfather's territory with a mere Qi refining stage cultivation?"

"What do you think?" Ning Shu turned his head, only to see four or five casual cultivators appearing behind him, with greedy expressions, as if they regarded him as a fat sheep.

"Hand over all the spirit stones, and grandpa will spare you!" the man said fiercely, "Otherwise, you will never get out of this alley!"

"Heh..." There was a chuckle from the young man in front of him, full of contempt.

"Boy, don't want to toast and not eat fine wine! The knife in Grandpa's hand is not a vegetarian!" The man deliberately showed his sharp blade, released his murderous aura and coercion, and rushed towards Ning Shu with all his strength. .

"Axue," Ning Shu licked his lips, lowered his head and chuckled at the cat, "Don't worry, I promise I won't hurt anyone's life this time..."

After finishing speaking, he turned around suddenly, a cold light appeared in his sleeves, his whole body was full of murderous aura, and his eyes were sharp.

However, at this moment, there was a loud shout in the air: "Stop!"

Ning Shu hurriedly withdrew his momentum and looked up together with everyone.

Under the blue sky, several sword shadows gradually appeared.

The people who control the sword are all dressed in white Taoist robes with gold trim, and three sword patterns are tattooed on the wide sleeves, standing in the wind in the sky, majestic and majestic.

"It's a disciple of Guiyuanzong! Let's go!" Several casual cultivators saw the sword pattern symbolizing the sect, hurriedly pulled their cloaks to cover their faces, and hurriedly fled in all directions.

Ning Shu flicked his sleeve, and put the concealed weapon back into the sleeve, but the corner of his mouth twisted unwillingly, and let out a slight "tsk", which seemed to be a bit regretful.

The fat duck he got flew away again, how could he not let him feel pain?

However, the person who interrupted his hunting did not apologize at all.They descended from the sky with haughty expressions, they didn't even put their eyes on Ning Shuyi, they just looked in the direction of those casual cultivators fleeing: "Brother, let these bastards escape again!"

"It's okay, I will always catch it. Is this little brother injured?" A refined man pushed aside the crowd and walked in front of Ning Shuyi.

There was a hint of warmth in the corner of his eyes, and his tone was approachable, not as arrogant as the others.

Ning Shu glanced at this person quietly, but the man suddenly felt that the other person's gaze seemed to have deep meaning, as if he was examining him?

"I will return to Yuanzong Luo Nianshan!" Luo Nianshan hurriedly reported his name. He thought that with his reputation, the young man would be a little moved, but unexpectedly, the other party just clasped his fists casually and showed a slight disgust He replied in a calm tone: "Ning Shuyi. I'm unlucky today, so let's just say goodbye. Don't send me off, young hero. See you again indefinitely!"

Luo Nianshan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and he didn't know how he offended the young man in front of him to be so disgusted.

One of his younger brothers couldn't understand it, so he yelled: "Presumptuous! If the senior brother didn't kindly ask us to come down and take a look, just because of your third level of Qi refining period..."

"Junior Brother Wang!" Luo Nianshan stretched out his hand to stop his junior brother, and then cupped his fists at Ning Shu, "My junior brother is straightforward, young hero, don't take it to heart."

"Big Brother!"

Seeing that the juniors seemed dissatisfied, Luo Nianshan shook his head lightly, comforted everyone with his eyes, and then turned to Ning Shu and said, "However, at this time, when I return to Yuanzong to open a mountain to recruit people, the disciples of the sect I am so busy that I have indeed neglected the order in Luoqing City. There are people coming and going in this city, fish and dragons are mixed together, it is inevitable that some young people will take advantage of the fire to rob."

"The young man has already offended those casual cultivators today, and if he stays in Luoqing City, he may be retaliated against. If the young man is interested, why don't you come and try my Gui Yuanzong's entrance examination? These few days at the east gate of the city outside……"

"Do you want me to join Gui Yuanzong?" Ning Shuyi seemed to be a little interested, leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "Is Gui Yuanzong rich?"

"Ahem..." Luo Nianshan replied with a blushing face, "The thousand-year sect has a profound foundation."

"Is the treatment of Guiyuanzong disciples good? Is there food and housing included? There are five insurances and one... Oh, no, are there any benefits?"

"With the young man's qualifications, he should be able to enter the inner sect. Inner sect disciples should have at least ten medium spirit stones, ten spirit accumulation pills or ten bottles of body quenching jade dew every month."

"Oh." The eagerness in Ning Shu's eyes was instantly extinguished, and he suddenly lost interest, and smacked his lips slightly dissatisfied.

I thought it would be beneficial to join Guiyuanzong, and it was worth fighting for so many people.After talking for a long time, the benefits are not as good as what they earn (qiang) outside.

"Okay, I'll think about it." Ning Shu waved his hand, then turned and left in such a cool manner.

Behind him, the eyes of the disciples of Guiyuanzong dropped all over the place.

It doesn't matter if they don't recognize their famous elder brother, but this person even thinks about joining Gui Yuanzong?

From which corner of the mountain did Lengtouqing come out?

Junior Brother Wang was furious, and wanted to teach this arrogant guy a lesson, but Luo Nianshan stopped him.

"Eldest brother, why are you so tolerant of a rude boy! He clearly didn't take us Gui Yuanzong seriously!" Junior Brother Wang pressed his sword scabbard and said unfairly, "Maybe, it's the Xuantian Sect who sent us to fight against him!" The spies who deliberately disrupted and slandered our sect!"

"Probably not. Can you guys see clearly what he holds in his arms?" Luo Nianshan looked towards the shoulder of the young man who was drifting away.

There, a pair of fluffy white ears and a pair of beautiful jewel-like eyes were exposed, and they were looking at him calmly and with some scrutiny.

"My intuition tells me," Luo Nianshan looked at the cat from a distance, and sighed softly, "This Ning Shuyi is definitely not simple!"
