Beyond the Divine States Chapter 89: : Return grace

Ning Changjiu opened the cork, and the dust vibrated. After the door opened, an old woman with a cane stood at the door.

The old woman has gray hair, her face is like a dead vegetable leaf, her body is thin and crooked, her cheekbones are upturned, the corners of her mouth are pulled downward, and the frosty wrinkles on her face look like lotus leaf folds.

She raised her head, her white-haired eyes stared at the young man in white, and her voice trembled: "Mr. Ning... are you back?"

Ning Changjiu looked at her and couldn't remember which street the old woman was. He just replied, "No."

The disappointment flashed across the face of the old woman, and said: "Oh...I saw your chimney smoking, I thought the old man was back..."

Ning Changjiu asked: "Is the old woman looking for something to do with him?"

The old woman looked at him, looked at him for a while, and asked: "Are you the old gentleman's apprentice?"

Ning Changjiu said: "Well, let me tell him something."

The old woman waved her hand and said: "It's okay. Six months ago, the grandson was ill. The old man was healed with a bowl of runes. I always wanted to thank you, but the old man took two months after he left." /

Ning Chang thought for a long time, and said seriously: "No thanks."

The old woman looked into the room and asked: "Is it really not there? I wanted to bring an old hen over, and then let the grandson worship the Byrne..."

Ning Changjiu leaned a little.

The old woman saw the dim room, lay her legs on her side in a chair and looked at her little girl like a kitten, and asked: "I remember the old gentleman has a pair of... disciples like golden boys and girls, just why you I'm back, the old gentleman hasn't come back yet."

Ning Changjiu said: "The old man is still busy with some rituals in the imperial city. Let's get some ritual tools and leave in two days."

"Oh..." The old woman shook her body and nodded, but the wrinkles on her face seemed to be deeper. She touched the bag around her waist, and finally took out a bone-like pendant and stuffed it. After Ning Changjiu, said: "This is something from ancestors. It is said that there is some aura. If you see the old man, remember to give this pendant to him, as it is to repay the kindness of saving your grandson. I am also very old. If Mr. Tsiruo comes back, I’m afraid I won’t see him...Oh."

The old woman suddenly exclaimed.

She looked into the room, and suddenly saw a pair of wolf-like eyes staring at her faintly, her rickety body trembled slightly, her crutches knocked on the ground twice, her body receded slightly, and she almost breathed. Did not slow up.

Ning Changjiu glanced at Shubai and explained: "Don't be afraid, mother-in-law, this is the helper we invited."

The old woman was relieved and said: "This kid's eyes are really scary..."

The tree stood there, staring at the old woman and looked at a piece, holding a shovel like a knife in her hand. Perhaps it was because the old woman wanted to be grateful to Ning Qinshui, so he hated the room and the black ground for showing a fierce light and stared. She will take a while.

Ning Changjiu smiled and motioned for Shubai to withdraw.

Shubai turned around and left, continued to the stove to add firewood.

The old woman slowed down, looked at him seriously, and stuffed the pendant into his hand, "Don't refuse, don't refuse, this life-saving grace will not be repaid, my old bones are going to go to Huangquan." Of..."

Ning Changjiu took the pendant, accepted it, and said, "Thanks to the old man for the teacher."

The old woman seemed to have done one thing, she was relieved a lot, and sighed: "That's good, that's good."

Ning Changjiu said: "Do you want the old woman to stay for a meal?"

The old woman refused: "No, my grandson is still waiting for me to go home."

Ning Changjiu did not stay here either: "The old man is careful on the road."

……

"Ning Qinshui is dead. You are embarrassed to collect this old man's family treasure?" Shubai stared at Ning Changjiu, very angry.

Ning Changjiu asked, "What should I do? Tell him about Ning Qinshui's death?"

Shubai said coldly: "It shouldn't be closed anyway."

Ning Changjiu turned a deaf ear, picked up the pendant and looked at it in the light, and said, "The old man is sincere, it is indeed a good thing."

Ning Xiaoling asked: "Senior brother will not secretly return it back, right?"

Ning Changjiu smiled and said: "Ning Qinshui almost killed us, so he should collect some interest."

Ning Xiaoling is skeptical, but thinks that brother should not be such a person.

Ning Changjiu patted the back of her chair, and said, "Go and eat."

Shubai said: "The rice is not cooked yet..."

Ning Changjiu said: "Who said we want to eat at home, it is rare to come back once, of course we have to go to the tavern."

Shubai was shocked, and said angrily: "Then what do you want me to cook? I made it for three people!"

Ning Changjiu didn’t answer, he just went to the crypt under the compass, took out a purse, weighed it, and then threw it to Ning Xiaoling, smiling: "Take the brother to eat delicious food. ."

Ning Xiaoling pulled out the purse and glanced, smiled slightly, white teeth porcelain, and did not hold him accountable for wasting food, and smiled: "Okay."

The tree was stunned.

Ning Changjiu stopped and glanced at him, and said: "Okay, nothing is wrong with you, go home, don't make your master wait in a hurry."

Shubai was speechless, and didn't know what medicine the boy in white was selling.

Ning Xiaoling followed him and asked softly: "Brother, do you think he is a plastic talent and is tempering his character?"

Ning Changjiu gently shook his head: "Brother doesn't have this idle time."

The tree white is standing on the spot, listening to the sound of the fire burning wood, watching the steam overflowing from the edge of the pot lid, and cursing angrily: "Go to the fairy!"

……

At this moment, there are still three days before New Year's Eve, and the central area of ​​Linhe City is already full of lights and lively atmosphere.

Ning Xiaoling said with emotion: "He saw you withdraw money. You left him in the house alone, so you are not afraid that the money will be taken out by him?"

Ning Changjiu said: "There is not much money left, so let's test him out."

Ning Xiaoling snorted coldly: "That's my money, of course you don't feel bad about it!"

Ning Changjiu joked: "Just so diligent and thrifty at a young age?"

Ning Xiaoling said: "If you don't be diligent and frugal, how can you ask brothers to eat if you have money."

Ning Changjiu said: "Don't bluff me, when you just passed by that rouge gouache store, you didn't move your eyes away."

Ning Xiaoling said vigorously: "I was a consultant for marrying the master. Master looks so good-looking. If you can add more pink dailies, you will be a real fairy."

Ning Changjiu smiled and said: "I didn't expect the junior sister to respect the teacher and respect the teacher like me."

Ning Xiaoling snorted low, not wanting to answer.

After a while, she suddenly asked: "By the way, that pendant... will there be no problem?"

Ning Changjiu said: "Don't worry, brother has seen it, there is no problem, we have suffered a loss of Ning Qinshui once, of course we must be careful in everything."

Ning Xiaoling nodded vigorously.

The long river runs through the city, the arch bridge is horizontal, the pedestrians are dressed in large cloaks or jackets, there are also coachmen pulling the carts with sweat, and some sleeves are rolled up, and the blue robe is riding a tall horse. He was caged with wide sleeves, his body shrunk slightly, his brows closed tightly, and his horseshoes moved unhurriedly, as if he was deliberating on verses.

It was about noon, the sun was shining, and the unfrozen river water was shimmering with golden light. Several restaurants and song houses were built against the banks of the river. The vermilion lacquer was dried up, and the flowers were scribbled. It was obviously daytime, but still faintly shaking candlelight , Revealing the clear shadows of buildings.

Ning Xiaoling said with emotion: "There is still a series of dilapidated houses in front of me, and it suddenly became lively here. The gap is really big."

Ning Changjiu said: "This world is full of demons. If it weren't for those small towns in the shelter of the fairy mountain, otherwise who could withstand waves of attacks by the mountains and demons, many people moved to the city, where there is a place to live. Life is enough. These songs and dances are not what most ordinary people are greedy for."

Ning Xiaoling remembered the scene of mountain ghosts attacking the city when she was a child. After many years, when she remembered, she still had the coolness of glitches.

She shook her head and said, "I don't want to have that much. When I finish eating, I will take my senior to drink wine!"
