Mortal Bones

Six days later.

Xu Taiping's second uncle's house.

"What? You want to sell Taiping?!"

Xu Taiping's second uncle, Xu Erniu, looked at his second aunt in front of him in disbelief.

"Shh!..."

The second aunt, who had a sinister face, raised a finger to signal the two cows to keep their voices down.

"What is selling? Working as a servant in Baijiazhuang is an opportunity that most people can't ask for."

The second aunt rolled her eyes at the second uncle.

"That's what I say, but after all, I have become a slave..."

The second uncle was a little embarrassed.

"In the Bai family, you can eat well, drink well, and use it well. What happened to the slave status? Don't worry about this matter. I have accepted the deposit."

The second aunt waved her hand and decided very decisively.

"All right."

Erniu couldn't resist his wife, sighed softly, and then nodded.

"Where's the Taiping?"

The second aunt then asked.

"Still in the mourning hall. Today is the seventh day of the lunar calendar. Taiping wants to keep a vigil for the old man."

Erniu, who was dressed in mourning clothes, wiped his mouth and replied.

"The people from Baijiazhuang are already waiting at the entrance of the village. Ask him to come back quickly."

The second aunt rolled her eyes at Er Niu.

"Arrived so soon?"

Erniu was a little surprised.

"The young master from Baijiazhuang will go to private school next month, and there happens to be a lack of a book boy next to him. Otherwise, how could it be so fast? Stop talking nonsense and go and bring that boy back from the mourning hall."

The second aunt gave the second uncle a hard look, and then urged.

"But... But today is the first day of the old man's life. It's better to let Taiping finish tonight before leaving, right?"

The second uncle scratched his head in embarrassment.

As soon as Xu Taiping's grandfather died, the couple began to discuss how to deal with Xu Taiping, who was a dragster. However, the second uncle still missed some old friendship and did not want Taiping to become a servant of the Bai family without having passed the first seven years.

"Tou Qi, Tou Qi, what happened to Tou Qi? Is it important to have money? You!"

The second aunt poked the second uncle in the forehead with her hand, with a look of hatred on her face, and then whispered into his ear with a mysterious look:

"Do you know how much money the Bai family is willing to pay? Thirty taels, thirty taels!"

The second aunt's eyes were full of greed.

Upon hearing this, the second uncle was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously and said:

"I'm going to call Taiping right now."

…

Half an hour later.

Qingniu Village, entrance of the village.

Xu Taiping reluctantly looked in the direction of the mourning hall, and then asked his second uncle and second aunt in front of him:

"Second uncle, can't you really leave tomorrow?"

"Taiping, going to Baijiazhuang to work as a servant is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you don't leave now, tomorrow you won't be able to go even if you want to!"

The second aunt said to Xu Taiping with a smile on her face.

"Second Aunt is worried that she won't be able to sell me at a good price until tomorrow, right?"

Xu Taiping gave the second aunt a cold look.

Although he has been keeping vigil for the past few days, he has experienced all kinds of human kindness since he was a child. How could he not know about the secret activities of his second aunt and his second uncle?

The reason why Taiping did not refuse to resist was that he had no way to resist, and he also felt that going to Baijiazhuang might be a good choice. After all, his grandfather had passed away and he had nothing to worry about here.

"You kid, why are you talking to your aunt? Your aunt is doing this for your own good!"

When Xu Taiping said this, his second uncle glared at him fiercely.

"Stop dawdling and get in the car quickly. There have been rat demons in this area at night recently. We have to get to Qingzhuling before dark."

At this time, the steward of the Bai family on the carriage behind Xu Taiping urged him.

"I'm coming!"

Hearing this, the second uncle and second aunt couldn't help but grab one of Taiping's arms and drag him to the carriage.

Xu Taiping didn't resist, but felt a little chilled.

…

"Little guy, please be careful. This is the contract of sale you signed with the Bai family. From now on, you will be my slave of the Bai family. You will have nothing to do with Qingniu Village or the Xu family."

In front of the carriage, after Xu Taiping pressed his fingerprints, the steward of the Bai family picked up the deed of betrayal and waved it in his hand.

"Um."

Taiping nodded expressionlessly.

"It seems that the elixir grandpa gave me has failed. Six days have passed and no immortal has come to pick me up."

While the manager of the Bai family was communicating with his second uncle and second aunt, Xu Taiping silently raised his head and looked up at the sky.

He actually wasn't too disappointed with the matter of seeking an immortal. After all, his biggest motivation for becoming an immortal was to treat his grandfather's illness.

"Huh? There was a white crane bigger than a buffalo that day!"

"Where, where?"

"Wait a minute, there seem to be two people standing on top of that white crane!"

At this moment, the villagers watching at the entrance of the village suddenly let out a burst of exclamations.

Hearing this voice, Xu Taiping, the steward of the Bai family, and the Erniu couple all raised their heads, and then they discovered that a huge white crane appeared in the sky above their heads, and on the back of the white crane, there was still a vague figure. There are two figures.

"Immortal...immortal?"

After being stunned for a few seconds, Xu Taiping slowly uttered two words.

"It's an immortal, it must be an immortal!"

At this time, many villagers also started shouting.

"Hey!..."

At this moment, accompanied by the cry of a crane, two figures descended from the sky and slowly landed in front of everyone at the entrance of the village.

These two people, one man and one woman, one wearing a sky-blue long gown, and the other wearing a red skirt. The man has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and is handsome, while the woman's eyebrows and eyes are like the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady descending to the mortal world, so beautiful that the surrounding scenery is eclipsed.

"Excuse me, everyone. I am a disciple of the Qingxuan Sect of Yunlu Mountain. Today, I came down the mountain with my junior sister to this place to find a young man."

The young man politely bowed to everyone.

When the people in Qingniu Village heard this, they were immediately in an uproar. They didn't expect that these two people were really immortals, and they were immortals from the nearby Yunlu Mountain.

"May I ask everyone, is there a young man named Xu Taiping in the village?"

At this time, the red-clothed female disciple of Yunlu Mountain also bowed to everyone, and then asked with a smile.

The woman's smile, let alone the men, even the women saw it, their hearts were throbbing.

"Xu...Xu Taiping?"

"It's him, he's Xu Taiping!"

After being stunned for a few seconds, several villagers immediately pointed their fingers at Xu Taiping next to the carriage.

Most of the people in Qingniu Village knew each other, not to mention that Xu Taiping's family was one of the few people with different surnames in the village, so most of them knew Xu Taiping.

"Are you Xu Taiping?"

The red-clothed female disciple stepped forward and looked at the young Xu Taiping with joy.

"Yeah."

Xu Taiping nodded.

In fact, he had already guessed the identities of the two people in his heart.

"Senior brother."

Seeing Taiping nod, the woman quickly turned her head to look at the young man behind her.

"The power transmission jade slip has responded, he is the person we are looking for."

The young man nodded and raised a jade slip in his hand that was emitting a faint green light to the female disciple.

"This...this fairy, what did my nephew do wrong?"

At this time, the second uncle Xu Erniu finally couldn't help asking.

"Who told you to meddle in other people's business!"

As soon as Xu Erniu finished speaking, his second aunt pulled him back and continued to keep a distance of five or six feet from Xu Taiping.

Not only them, but the rest of the villagers also stepped back and kept a distance from Xu Taiping.

Obviously, most villagers, like Xu Erniu, guessed that Xu Taiping might have done something wrong, which led to the immortal coming down the mountain.

After all, Qingniu Village is close to Yunlu Mountain. Even if they have not seen it with their own eyes, they have at least heard about the immortal coming down the mountain to eliminate monsters.
