The Devil is My White Moonlight

Chapter 43 Mountains and Seas

Shanhai City, as the name suggests, has mountains and seas.

This is a small mountain city near the sea, and the houses of the common people are all built against the mountains.The local people like white, and the walls of their houses are all painted white, hidden among the green trees.The mountain city has a high terrain, and you can see the sea in the distance when walking on the street.The sea water is blue, the sky is also blue, where the sea and sky meet, little silver sails are swaying on the sea.The air is clean and humid, and the breeze is blowing, carrying a faint fishy smell. It is a completely different world from the inland.

Qin Le is from the northwest, where it is dry all the year round, where has I seen such a small town with such water and spirit.As soon as he entered Shanhai City, he didn't even read the formation book, looking around non-stop as if his eyes were not enough.

"Xiao Xianjun, let's take a look! A red coral pendant, an amethyst bracelet, and a comb made of tortoiseshell shell. Take two of them home and give them to the little lady. I'm sure you'll like them!" The old lady at the stall said, With a kind eyebrow and a kind smile, he enthusiastically sells to Qin Le.

Qin Le blushed immediately, and muttered: "I, I, I'm not married yet!"

"It's okay, it's fine to buy something for the sisters at home!" The old lady's smiling face remained unchanged.

Before Qin Le could say "I don't have any sisters in my family", Gu Qingqiao walked over with a smile, looked carefully at the old man's stall, and finally picked up a red coral sword tassel.

Taking out his purse to pay the bill, Gu Qingqiao thanked him, and led away the red-faced Qin Xiaoxianjun.

Mu Xiyun was standing on the side of the street waiting for them. Over the past six months, she had broken through one after another, and Mu Xiyun's appearance had also gradually changed. The pale and thin boy who was just reborn is now much taller, and her skin is faintly radiant. brilliance.The tingling pain in the meridians reminded him from time to time that this body is different from ordinary people, the flesh and bones made of jade and plum branches have not yet fully matched the spirit and soul, but he didn't care, and looked at the street with a smile, as light as clouds in the wind, Attracted the eyes of an unknown number of girls.

Gu Qingqiao walked to Mu Xiyun's side, and stretched out his hand to tie the red sword tassel to his sword.The soft sword was hidden in his waist, and now hanging by Mu Xiyun's side was the imitation "Tao Heart" bought in Hongye City.Xiao Xianjun is dressed in white with a silver sword, and a little bright red hangs from her waist, like a red plum in snow, making her look even more charming.

Qin Le was stunned for a moment, and only recovered after being called out by Gu Qingqiao a few times.

"It's getting late today, let's find an inn to stay," Gu Qingqiao said, "I'm also going to the local inn to report my cousin's safety." In front of Qin Le, Gu Qingqiao still said " "Gu Wanbo" claimed that Zhang Jinjin was naturally still a cousin.

The three of them found a roadside inn called "Tinghai", and they could see the sea when they opened the window.

Mu Xiyun stood quietly in front of the window, staring at the sea level in the distance.Sails are dotted on the blue sea, and a few seabirds are spinning around the nearby mast.

There was a soft knock on the door behind him.Mu Xiyun opened the door, and Gu Qingqiao and Qin Le stood in front of the door. "Shall we go to the station together? Have something to eat by the way?"

The three of them went downstairs, asked the waiter for directions, and walked towards the post station together.

As expected, next to the official post in Shanhai City, there is another private post, similar in form to the one in Hongye City.The three of them stepped into the private post, and someone greeted them immediately.

The visitor was wearing the gold-rimmed green shirt of the Golden Pavilion, and asked with a smile on his face, "Little Ajiu, what are the three orders? Do you want to bring a letter to your family? Our Golden Pavilion's stations are located in all the big cities in the Central Plains. Letters, Jade slips can be used to send messages."

Gu Qingqiao took out the wooden sign given by Zhang Jinjin and handed it to Ah Jiu, saying, "Let's spread some news."

After examining the wooden sign carefully, and returning it to Gu Qingqiao with both hands, Ah Jiu's attitude became more respectful. "It turns out to be the boss' distinguished guest, please follow me."

Ah Jiu led the three of them into an elegant room at the back.The maid brought refreshments and served tea.Ah Jiu asked for the location of the interrogation, took out three jade slips from a side cabinet, handed them to the three of them respectively, and said: "These three jade slips correspond to the jade slips of the Golden Pavilion Stations in the major cities one by one. You only need to use the jade slip to send the message to this side, and there will be a response there. Please rest assured, the Golden Temple will take the jade slip directly to the destination, and only the person you communicate with can extract the information inside."

He took out another jade slip and handed it to Gu Qingqiao. "This is what the boss told you to give."

After speaking, he pulled up the screen for the three of them, while he went outside to wait.

The three of them were a little surprised, they didn't expect such a big battle to spread the news, after a while, Gu Qingqiao smiled wryly and said: "My cousin is really a genius in business!"

Mu Xiyun reported Su Yanjun's safety, saying that she would arrive at the spirit array in a few days.

Qin Le had already sent a letter to his family on the way, thinking that he would come to the Golden Pavilion sooner, so he explained the matter again, and asked his elder brother to send someone to Yinlong Villa to investigate the wooden-legged man.

Gu Qingqiao took the jade slip given by Zhang Jinjin, swept it away with his spiritual sense, and heard Zhang Jinjin's glib voice in his ears: "Cousin, have you caught up with your wife? Be careful if your wife is abducted by others like you." Let's go!" Resisting the urge to throw the jade slips out, Gu Qingqiao listened patiently with a dark face.Zhang Jinjin babbled again, and finally, his tone became serious. "The spies of the Golden Pavilion reported that they saw a seemingly invisible person near Shanhai City, but the other party was very vigilant. After the spies lost their target for the first time, there was no way to get close. You must pay attention when you are in the local area. I will go to you soon, before I go, don't act rashly."

Gu Qingqiao pondered for a while, reported Zhang Jinjin's safety, briefly described what happened in Yinlong Villa, and asked him to use the Golden Pavilion's staff to investigate and protect the wooden-legged man.

Ah Jiu didn't come in from the door until he heard the call of the three, and put away the jade slip with a smile.Because of the wooden sign, there is no charge for this summons.Ah Jiu respectfully led the three of them out.

After seeing the guests to the door, he smiled very considerately and said, "It's probably the first time for you to come to Shanhai City. There is nothing else in the land near the sea, but fresh seafood. After the three go out, turn left at the first intersection. Walk along that road to the seaside, and you will find the best seafood restaurants in Shanhai City. You don’t need to go to luxurious restaurants, as Zhang’s next to the “Red House” cooks delicious dishes. If you want to eat some snacks, go ahead A few steps further, Granny Tang's Chicken Soup Shrimp Wontons are also extremely delicious."

"Oh, little brother, what you said made me hungry!" Gu Qingqiao smiled, and Qin Le swallowed beside him.After thanking Ah Jiu, the three of them walked slowly towards the sea in the direction he pointed.

Sure enough, after a short walk, I smelled a very attractive aroma.It’s not a long street, and there are seafood restaurants on both sides. There is an endless stream of customers. Some restaurants even move their pots and stoves to the side of the road in order to attract business. They steam fish and fried crabs in front of the street. The delicious and sweet smell comes from the pot Scattered from the middle, it makes passers-by greedy.

Mu Xiyun didn't like to make noise, Qin Le was timid and afraid of others, so Gu Qingqiao simply followed Ah Jiu's recommendation and took the two of them to Granny Tang's house to eat wontons.

Granny Tang's wonton stall is very simple. It consists of a pole, a small stove and a large pot at one end, and chicken soup at the other end.Put down the burden and set up a big pot, and the water boiled.Granny Tang is short in stature, but her movements in her hands are quick.She quickly picked up the wonton skin with one hand, and with the other hand, picked up a ball of fresh meat on the skin with a small bamboo slice, and added a large shrimp.Flying up and down with both hands, a plate of chubby wontons was finished.

Put twelve wontons into the pot, cook in boiling water until they float, scoop up the wontons and put them in a bowl, pour a big spoonful of chicken broth on them.Ground coriander, chili oil and balsamic vinegar are placed on a small table aside, and customers can add according to their own taste.

Qin Le added a large spoonful of vinegar to the bowl, sat on a small chair by the side of the road and nodded.Gu Qingqiao came back with two bowls of wontons, one bowl was full of coriander and red oil, the other bowl was light, but asked her mother-in-law to add half a spoonful of chicken soup.

Gu Qingqiao put the bowl full of chicken soup wontons in front of Mu Xiyun, "Come on, her chicken soup is good, drink more soup."

Mu Xiyun took the chopsticks, picked up a wonton and ate it slowly.The meat is delicious, the shrimps are crispy, and the chicken soup is even more delicious. It really lives up to its reputation.Qin Le had already finished one bowl at this time, begged for the second bowl and ate it voraciously.

Gu Qingqiao ate the wontons in the bowl in two or three mouthfuls, took the red and green wonton chicken soup from that night, drank half of the bowl in one go, stood up and walked towards Granny Tang again.Mu Xiyun looked at his back with a little amusement, why didn't I find that he was so edible before?

There were so many customers at this time, Granny Tang was a bit busy, so Gu Qingqiao put down the bowl and went to the stall next door to buy two skewers of fried sugar cakes.Just as he was about to pay with the candy cake in his hand, he suddenly felt someone approaching quickly.

Gu Qingqiao's reaction was extremely quick, he turned sideways immediately, and raised his eyes to look at that person.

It was a tall man, tall and straight, with a square face.Wearing a golden crown on his head and a black robe trimmed with gold, he looks graceful and luxurious.It's just that he stayed there at this moment, and he was still lifting his right hand that he wanted to slap at Gu Qingqiao, which seemed a little awkward.

Sweeping his eyes over the ancient green bridge, a little doubt appeared on the visitor's face, but he quickly returned to normal.He put down his hand and saluted: "Sorry to offend, I seem to have admitted the wrong person."

Gu Qingqiao smiled and said: "It's okay."

The two passed by each other, Gu Qingqiao paid for the candy cake, then turned to look at that person again.He turned around and went back to the wonton stand, took his own bowl of wontons, and returned to the table.

After distributing the sugar cake to the two, Gu Qingqiao looked at the table in a daze.

"That person... is there any problem?" Mu Xiyun asked in a low voice.

"It should be the wrong person." Gu Qingqiao replied.

Since revealing his identity in front of Mu Xiyun, Gu Qingqiao began to restore his appearance bit by bit. After all, it's scary to think about running around with Gu worms all over his face.But this matter can't be rushed, we have to find a reliable reason to explain to Qin Le and others, so even today, he has just recovered the shape of his eyes.

I don't know if it's because the daily changes are too small or because Qin Le has a big heart, but he didn't notice the changes in Gu Qingqiao at all.

But a slight resemblance is not enough for people to recognize him, but when the man passed by Gu Qingqiao, he clearly transmitted the voice: "Zanhua Xiaozhu, waiting for you."

I don't know if the visitor is an enemy or a friend, Gu Qingqiao doesn't want to let the two companions participate for the time being, so he has to be perfunctory.

Mu Xiyun took a deep look at him and said nothing.

After finishing another bowl of wontons, Gu Qingqiao swallowed the sugar cake in two mouthfuls, looked up at Mu Xiyun, Xiao Xianjun looked at the sugar cake, then looked at the remaining wontons in the bowl, a little hesitant Indecision.

Gu Qingqiao laughed, and pulled the bowl of wontons that were almost cold in front of him, handed the steaming sugar cake to Mu Xiyun, and said with a smile: "If you like sweets, eat them quickly, if you don't have enough, don't eat them." Buy it for you."

Mu Xiyun raised her eyes and wanted to speak, but Gu Qingqiao had already picked up the remaining wontons and ate them, took another sip of chicken soup, raised her eyes and raised her eyebrows at the piece of sugar cake.

Mu Xiyun quickly lowered her head and ate the cake.

At this time, the small tables and chairs in front of Granny Tang's booth were full of people.In the slightly hot evening in early summer, with the cool sea breeze blowing, the guests chatted comfortably while eating.

"Have you heard? The king's boat will be delivered on the beach of Xiaoshi Village tomorrow night."

"Yes, yes, this ceremony is held every three years. This year it is Xiaoshi Village's turn. They have been preparing for it for half a year. I heard that there is also a secret ceremony."

"What secret ceremony?"

The person who reported the news lowered his voice: "I also heard that Xiaoshi Village captured a demon half-blood child, and this time sending the king's boat, he will use that half-blood bastard for blood sacrifice."

Although the speaker's voice was low, it could not escape the sensitive senses of the cultivator.Mu Xiyun and the three of them looked at each other, Qin Le was surprised, and Gu Qingqiao directly sank.
