Nine Heavens

A group of people walked through the market and looked west. Hundreds of families on the west hillside were bathed in the morning mist.

The bluestone courtyards are scattered scattered, simple and unpretentious, but quiet and elegant.

In the eastern sky, the colorful clouds are flying, the sun is jumping, and the red sun is smiling, gently stroking the people who have come out of the dream here.

The morning breeze is refreshing, and the fragrance of flowers is wafting from the Emerald Mausoleum, and the mellow fragrance moves the mind.

The three of them walked through the gap for a while, before they saw a house with a bluestone wall and a black gate.

Stopping in front of the door, pinching fingers and counting again, Nangong Tingdu looked meaningfully at Liuhe's home, then turned around and asked:

"Whose house is this?"

Cheng Donglai stepped forward and said with a smile:

"Hehe, this is my grandson Cheng Hua's house. Brother, don't be shy, just go in."

Nangong was slightly taken aback when he heard this.

"oh!"

Then Nangong listened and backed away, motioning for Cheng Dong to come and call the door.

Cheng Donglai patted it lightly, and just as he was about to shout, the door creaked open, so it was not locked.

The three looked at each other for a while, and Cheng Donglai took the lead and stepped into the courtyard one after another.

The courtyard is very spacious. There are three bluestone one-story houses in the north, and several wing rooms on the left and right.

There are many animal skins and herbs on the house. Just to the south is a large vegetable garden, where all kinds of tender seedlings of vegetables stand tall in the morning mist.

The three of them were looking around, when a figure flashed out of the three bluestone rooms, the figure was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said:

"My God, what's the wind today, how did you invite the elders here! When did this arrive? It's a sin to keep you waiting for so long.

Please go to one of the houses quickly, and wait for the younger generation to offer you a few cups of rough tea. "

After the figure finished speaking, he bowed deeply.

Nangong Tingduan looked at the pretty young woman in pink in front of him, turned around and said to everyone:

"Well, this must be the granddaughter-in-law from Donglai, such a pretty girl.

It's not surprising that I rushed to visit early in the morning and still hoped for my granddaughter-in-law. "

Cheng Donglai nodded and said: "It's this child, senior brother can just call her Ning'er."

"Heck, grandpa, don't say that, it's rare to see you, and it's too late to be happy, so why say it rashly."

Cheng Hua's wife, Qin Ning, stood aside and respectfully invited the three of them to enter the house.

Nangong Tingduan stroked his beard and said with a smile:

"You don't have to be polite. I'm here today to congratulate you. Can you tell Grandpa how many children you have?"

"congratulate!"

Qin Ning sounded confused.

I wondered in my heart, I must have made a mistake, where is the happy event at home, and what does it have to do with the two children?

Even if there is a happy event, how can there be such a big face, let the elders of the village owner come to the door to congratulate in person.

Qin Ning shook his head lightly, smiled wryly and said:

"Grandpa Nangong, excuse me for being rude to the younger generation, it's probably because the grandpas made a mistake, there is no happy event in the family, but there is one worrying event.

I have two children, a boy and a girl. The boy is Yuanfang and the girl is Shifeng.

The boy in the distance went hunting and didn't come back for two or three days in a row. I was worried that something would happen to him. His father and I were in a dilemma. "

While talking, Qin Ning's eyes turned red and tears came down.

Glancing towards the east wing, Nangong Tingduan looked at the eager young mother and said:

"Hehe, granddaughter-in-law, don't cry, I guessed right, Fang'er lives in the West Wing, right?"

"Exactly. How did Grandpa Nangong know? He slept alone in the West Wing when he was very young."

Qin Ning replied.

"Then why don't you wake up Fang'er and see how many elder grandpas you have met?"

Cheng Donglai raised his head, took a sip of fine wine and said.

Qin Ning looked at the elders who were about to speak, but saw them nodding their heads.

Nangong Tingduan said softly: "Go, he is sleeping soundly in the west wing."

how come?

Qin Ning was puzzled, and ran to the east wing in a few steps, suddenly opened Cheng Yuanfang's door, and stepped into the room.

In the neat room, there is a red lacquered Eight Immortals table in the middle, and a set of white porcelain tea sets in the middle of the table.

Sunlight fell on the bed opposite the window through the window, and a familiar black figure was lying on the bed.

Aiko's face was tired, and she was still sleeping soundly with a bow, arrow and animal skin bag of prey on her back.

Qin Ning was so happy that she didn't know what to do, she quietly walked to her son's side, and gently stroked the loose strands of hair on her son's forehead.

Looking at Aizi's handsome face, Qin Huangning's eyes were full of joy and distress.

Aiko's face was darkened due to years of hunting.

The forehead is broad, and there is a tire mark in the middle, which looks like a crescent moon, and it also looks like a trace of an eye that cannot be closed.

Seeing Aiko's safe return, Qin Ning was momentarily happy and looked forward to Aiko for a moment.

Suddenly looking up, seeing several elders standing outside the door, Qin Ning quickly got up to meet them, and said apologetically:

"The younger generation is rude, please come in, elders and grandpas."

Then he picked up the teapot on the table and happily went out to prepare tea.

The three of them came in and sat at the Eight Immortals table, quietly staring at the boy in black on the bed.

The black-clothed boy was fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in black, with a sword on his back, but without a third eye on his forehead.

Other features are just like those drawn in the hunting pictures of the Orion Temple.

It is still not certain that he is Xuan Xing boy, this matter is related to the legacy of the ancestors, and the common people in the world must be cautious.

The eyes of the three elders fell on the animal skin package on the back of the boy in black.

The animal skin package was five or six feet long, and with the eyesight of a cultivator, the three elders could easily see through the contents.

The emerald green brilliance is glowing with a cold light, faintly leaking out, how can the thin leather hide the aura of the green teeth and rhinoceros!

Although this kind of fetish is rare to see once in a thousand years, its appearance is known to almost every child in the villa.

The people in Zhuangzhong like to carve the cedar-toothed lin on wooden boards, bamboo boards, walls, and even gates during festivals.

Legend has it that the Eclectic-toothed Lin is a spiritual beast that can ward off evil spirits and pray for blessings.

The three of them watched the young man silently. Qin Ning hurried over with a pot of hot tea, changed the cups, and poured fragrant mountain tea for the four elders.

Suddenly, a sweet smell wafted in the room.

Qin Ning Wanfu said:

"Several elders and grandpas, please use it slowly, there is no good tea at home, please forgive me."

Then quietly stepped aside, accompanied respectfully, and the four of them chatted softly while drinking tea.

Qin Ning, who was standing by the side, was still puzzled. How could the elders be alarmed when his son came back?

Could it be that he got into trouble? It shouldn't be. Grandpa Nangong said he came to congratulate him, but he didn't mean to blame him.

Seeing a few people talking, it's not good for juniors to interrupt casually, so I have to keep my words in my stomach, watch the words and expressions, and carefully serve the elders with tea.

While chatting, the sound of gongs and drums beating and suona singing came from far outside the door, coming from far and near.

oh! Which family has a happy event, so lively?

Hearing the noise outside, Qin Ning was secretly puzzled.

He couldn't help but listen attentively. After listening to it, the ear-shattering noise stopped at the door of his house, and Qin Ning was even more confused.

Nangong Tingduan looked at the puzzled Qin Ning and said with a smile:

"Don't blame my daughter-in-law. I'm in a hurry today. After Yuan Fang returns, he will explain it to you in detail."

Then he got up, picked up Cheng Yuanfang who was on the bed, walked out of the west wing, and came out of the courtyard.

I saw that there was already a bustling voice outside the door, which was so blocked that nothing could get through.

The leader was Dongfang Henxue, but at this time, the Piaoxinghanjian in his arms was gone, but his gaze was still stern.

Seeing Nangong Tingduan waiting to come out, Dongfang Henxue turned her head and waved her hand, and the surrounding immediately fell silent.

Then, Dongfang Henxue bowed to Nangong Tingduan and others:

"Returning to the brothers, everything is ready."

Nangong heard that Cheng Yuanfang was put down, and was supported by Dongfang Henxue.

Nangong Tingduan nodded slightly, found a higher place to stand still, looked at the dark crowd for a while, and his eyes fell on the sixteen-carrying open-air hero sedan chair behind Dongfang Henxue.

The hero sedan chair, as the name suggests, is of course for carrying heroes.

It is in the shape of a dragon body, made of inexplicable wood, with natural texture, just like pieces of dragon scales.

The wood is golden in color, shining brightly and dazzlingly in the sun.

I can't tell how many years, the ancestors left this treasure and kept it in the hall of the elders' house.

No one has been qualified to sit on it, and today someone has finally hunted a divine beast, which can be used.

But it's a pity, maybe this is the first and last time, Nangong Tingduan knows this very well, and feels infinitely emotional in his heart.

Turning his eyes to the crowd again, Nangong heard a loud voice chanting:

"Dress for the God of Hunting!"

"Hunting God, the owner and elders called that child Hunting God?"

There was a commotion among the crowd, but calm was quickly restored, with one eye staring at the other.

As soon as Nangong heard the words, a few people stepped forward and worked hard for a long time to dress Cheng Yuanfang who was still sleeping in red and green.

It's ridiculous that Cheng Yuanfang was so confused, he thought he was dreaming in a hazy state, and his ears were sometimes noisy and sometimes quiet.

There seemed to be someone else dressing him, standing on his feet instinctively, and his consciousness was still in a dream.

Seeing that the dressing was completed, Nangong heard it and chanted loudly:

"Help the Hunting God onto the sedan chair!"

Thus, Dongfang Henxue put the dazed Cheng Yuanfang on the seat of the hero sedan chair.

"Please bring out the ivory feather crown!"

Nangong heard it and said again.

Yu Wu Yingying stepped onto the hero's sedan chair, holding a hat made of colorful feathers in both hands, and gently put it on Cheng Yuanfang's head.

I saw the lower part of the feather crown, a ring of silver crown hat, shining brightly, like clear snow and white jade, warm and moist, very lovable.

Nangong Tingduan looked at the handsome face under the ivory feather crown covered in red flowers, and there was a trace of comfort in his eyes.

Nangong heard it, cleared his throat, raised his voice, and then chanted:

"Take out a pair of green-toothed lin and rhinoceros teeth that the hero hunted, and put them on the treasure offering platform."

Yu Wu gently pushed aside the animal skin, and immediately two green rays of light sprinkled on the crowd with a shining halo.

"Wow! What kind of treasure is this! It's amazing!"

"It's so beautiful! It's the pair of teeth with green teeth and lin and rhinoceros!"

Surprise bursts erupted from the crowd.

Some people couldn't help talking, but their voices were very low.

Putting the two green-toothed Lin Lingxi double teeth on the treasure offering platform protruding from the leading position in front of the sedan chair, Yu Wu turned around and floated down the hero sedan chair.

"Mingle! Get up the sedan chair elder's house!"

As soon as Nangong heard the voice fell, there was a tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-drum-drum sound again.

A large group of people was led by the five elders in the meeting place to head towards the elders' house.

Liuhe Dong and Cheng Hua, who were galloping forward, saw exactly this scene.

Suddenly hearing someone shouting in the crowd that Cheng Yuanfang's father is coming, Fang pulled back to Nangong's thoughts.

The team headed east and continued on.

In the far corner, a figure dodged in the shadows, watched all this, snorted, turned his head and disappeared.
