Myriad Realms Summoning System
Chapter Summary
On a mountain path in Qingfeng Mountain, a big monk was drinking strong liquor in big gulps, looking very happy. I'm just drinking my own wine, why would it concern you?" The old Taoist shook his head helplessly and smiled, "Master, alcohol is the first taboo for monks. Better than that little boy in my family." Seeing Xiao Chen drink half a bag of liquor in one gulp, the Lin family guards around him couldn't help but smile and praise him.
On a mountain path in Qingfeng Mountain, a big monk was drinking strong liquor in big gulps, looking very happy.
The monk had a sword hanging around his waist, hidden deep in its sheath, and a jade python engraved on the Zen staff on his shoulder. Both weapons were truly spiritual weapons.
His clothes were also very rough. He simply wore a slightly worn monk's robe. A band of hair was exposed on his chest, and there was a flower embroidery on his slightly exposed back. It was obvious that he was not a good person.
"Master, why are you, a monk, so disobedient to the rules and regulations by drinking here?"
Just as the monk was drinking happily, a faint voice came into his ears.
The big monk put down the wine jar in his hand, rubbed his eyes and looked carefully. In the distance, he saw an old Taoist priest with a smile on his face slowly walking towards him, which made him secretly alert.
He narrowed his eyes at the old Taoist priest and said, "You are such a nosy Taoist priest. I'm just drinking my own wine, why would it concern you?"
The old Taoist shook his head helplessly and smiled, "Master, alcohol is the first taboo for monks. I am just giving you some advice."
The big monk took another gulp of liquor and said, "Old Taoist, you've persuaded me enough, but I want to continue drinking. Please leave quickly!"
The old Taoist shook his head, smiled kindly and said, "I am Chongxu, the old Taoist. May I know your Dharma name?"
The big monk showed a trace of impatience on his face. He waved his hand and shouted angrily, "I am Lu Zhishen. Are you annoying me, old Taoist priest? Go away! Go away!"
Chongxu smiled again and said, "Master Lu, I see that you and I are destined to be together. We seem to be looking for the same person. How about joining me?"
Lu Zhishen narrowed his eyes, which were as big as copper bells, and drank the last drop of wine in the jar. He wiped his lips and asked, "Who are you looking for? Where is he?"
"In Sifang City, Xiao Chen!"
…
The night gradually enveloped the mountains. Above the distant sky, the moon hung high like a silver plate, pouring down its faint, cold moonlight all over the sky.
There are few people living in Qingfeng Mountain, but on a hill, there are surprisingly some lights and noisy voices.
The noisy sound spread, diluting the cold and quiet surroundings.
In the camp on the hill, there were several large bonfires releasing sparks that shot up into the sky, dispelling much of the night's chill. At the same time, the flames illuminated the entire camp extremely brightly. Many figures gathered around these bonfires.
They held up wine jars in their hands, and laughter spread all over the place. Every time the wine jars hit each other hard, they would cause cheers from the surrounding people.
Xiao Chen was also sitting next to the fire, smiling at the drunken men around him whose faces were red. He had rarely felt this kind of atmosphere.
"Brother Xiao Chen, here, have a few sips to warm yourself up. The temperature in the mountains is very low at night."
As Xiao Chen was fiddling with the fire, a laugh suddenly rang out, and then a wine bag flew towards him. He stretched out his hand and grabbed it.
Then he looked up at the drunken Lin Qi, smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Brother Lin Qi."
After saying that, he also raised the wine bag and took two big gulps. The burning sensation immediately rose from his stomach, making his face turn red.
In the past, he definitely wouldn't dare drink, but after drinking with Shangguan Qingmeng last night, he felt much more relieved and no longer had any concerns about drinking.
"Haha, Xiao Chen is quite good, quite manly! Better than that little boy in my family."
Seeing Xiao Chen drink half a bag of liquor in one gulp, the Lin family guards around him couldn't help but smile and praise him.
Xiao Chen smiled at everyone and was about to speak when the tent in the center of the camp was suddenly opened. Then the charming figure that looked particularly charming in the moonlight appeared in everyone's sight. It was Lin Qingshuang.
At this moment, Lin Qingshuang seemed to have just taken a shower, so her soft black hair was loose with a little moisture, which made her look more feminine and charming. Many younger guards of the Lin family suddenly accelerated their heartbeats.
Even Xiao Chen couldn't help but admire that Lin Qingshuang had a very unique temperament. If the system hadn't been upgraded now, he would definitely have measured Lin Qingshuang's charm value.
After walking out of the tent, Lin Qingshuang glanced around casually, and then sat down elegantly beside a campfire not far from Xiao Chen and others.
She pulled out a dagger, cut a piece of the roasted meat on the grill, and slowly put it into her mouth.
The elegance of savoring the dish slowly seemed out of place in the rough atmosphere of people around who were eating one bite at a time. But one had to admit that Lin Qingshuang was truly beautiful and charming at this moment.
After Lin Qingshuang came out, Lin Qi and others lowered their voices unconsciously, and quickly swallowed the dirty jokes.
Xiao Chen turned his head slightly and looked at Lin Qingshuang, whose face, illuminated by the firelight, showed a hint of the fragility that a woman should have, which was also somewhat connected with her harshness and indifference during the day.
"Hey, what's up? Are you fascinated by the lady?"
While Xiao Chen was looking at Han Xue, Lin Qi suddenly rushed over and teased in a low voice.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen was slightly stunned, then shook his head with a smile. Everyone loves beauty. He just admired Lin Qingshuang's appearance. It was far from being like her. Even his several confidantes were not much worse than Lin Qingshuang in appearance.
"Don't be embarrassed. In the entire guard team, who can escape the charm of the young lady as long as he is under 30 years old? But they can only think about this kind of thing in their hearts. The young lady is already a powerful martial artist at a young age. Her talent is so high that no one in the entire Lin family can surpass her. With the identity and status of guards like us, thinking about that is undoubtedly like a toad wanting to eat swan meat," Lin Qi patted Xiao Chen's shoulder and sighed.
Xiao Chen nodded slightly, but as the eldest daughter of the Lin family, Lin Qingshuang's status was naturally much higher than that of the guards, so some of the young men in the guard team who had admiration for her would probably have to return home in disappointment in the end.
"However, the young lady is indeed a good person. Although she is usually strict, she is also very kind to us guards. Whenever a guard is seriously injured during a mission, she will ask the family to pay a sum of money to the family member."
"You know, in other places, once you lose your usefulness, people will abandon you without hesitation. They won't worry about you leaking any secrets and will kill you secretly. You should be thankful for that," Lynch smacked his lips.
Xiao Chen was stunned. He didn't expect that this seemingly cold woman could have such a kind heart.
Lin Qingshuang didn't have a big appetite, so after a while, she stood up.
Her beautiful eyes swept across the camp, then stopped at Lin Qi. She said lightly, "Guard Lin, tell those on night watch not to drink alcohol, and the rest of you to drink less. We'll be passing through the territory of Jinlong Village tomorrow, so be careful and don't make any mistakes."
After saying that, she did not linger for long, but walked slowly into her tent with light lotus steps.
Jinlongzhai?
Xiao Chen looked at Lin Qingshuang's departing figure, and his heart couldn't help but move. He clearly felt that the air around him was a little heavier. It seemed that this Jinlong Village had some background.
