Chapter 139: Bamboo House in the Valley
Changjiu originally had some resentment towards Yin Yan, but when he saw that Yin Yan had done so much for him, and that Yin Yan had rarely passed on information to the demon clan after falling in love with her, Changjiu's resentment dissipated a lot.
Later, because of Yin Yan, the human race won and the demon race was driven back to the demon world again.
The broken seal between the human and demon worlds was repaired again, and Changjiu tied his life to Yin Yan's.
With the two of them sharing their lives, Yin Yan was finally saved.
However, Yin Yan's inner elixir was taken away by the fox clan, and his cultivation was lost. Not only did he turn back into his original form, but he was also dying.
Human cultivators all have a very disgusting and repulsive attitude towards demons and monsters. At that time, the war between humans and demons had just ended, and the hatred of human cultivators towards demons almost reached its peak.
After betraying the demon clan, the dying Yin Yan could not go back with the demon clan, nor could he be accepted by the human race.
Changjiu knew that if people knew that Yin Yan was still alive, all the major sects would definitely demand that Yin Yan be ground into ashes.
So she secretly brought Yin Yan back to Qingxuan Sect, but was eventually discovered.
The head of the sect at that time was Gu Yanhuai’s master, Gu Yu.
Although Gu Yu was prejudiced against the demon race, he also knew that the victory of the battle between humans and demons and human cultivators was related to Yin Yan, so he helped Changjiu save Yin Yan's life.
However, as the largest sect in the world of immortal cultivation, Qingxuan Sect naturally cannot hide the demon clan in the sect, let alone Yin Yan, who once served as a spy for the demon clan.
Although there is still a contract between Changjiu and Yin Yan, if other sects knew about it, they would definitely suppress it in the name of justice and force Qingxuan Sect to hand over Changjiu and Yin Yan.
In order to save the lives of Changjiu and Yin Yan, Gu Yu announced to the outside world that Yin Yan was dead. Changjiu was also expelled from the sect for violating the sect rules.
After expelling Changjiu from the sect, Gu Yanhuai arranged Changjiu to work in the Honglou Auction House.
Gu Yu only saved Yin Yan's life temporarily back then. Every fifty years, he would need to rely on a large amount of natural treasures to prolong his life.
So, it has not been easy for Chang Jiu over the years.
……
Leng Zhuxin and Jiang Baimo were silent after hearing this. While they were talking, they had already arrived at the foot of Feilong Mountain.
Looking up, I saw that the entire Feilong Mountain was covered with snow. It was so white that an ordinary person would not be able to tell the direction if he went up there.
Gu Wangchen had been here several times. He took the two of them and flew up on his sword. Braving the wind and snow, they soon reached the valley halfway up the mountain.
This valley was not formed naturally, but was created by Changjiu after he broke through the Nascent Soul stage.
It is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, shaped like a bottle, and is covered with a barrier that can block the cold, wind and snow.
There was a narrow stone staircase on the side, with unknown wild flowers planted on both sides. The bright red flowers formed a great contrast with the snow on the edge.
Gu Wangchen knocked twice outside the barrier, and Changjiu's voice came from the valley.
"Why are you here when it's freezing cold? Shake off the snow on your body before you come in, or you won't bring the cold air into the house."
Changjiu was still wearing the red dress, but compared to when he was at the auction house, he had an extra layer of red wide-sleeved cloak on the outside, and his expression looked much gentler.
Gu Wangchen shook off the snow and wind on his body, and said to the valley, "I know your Taoist partner can't stand the cold, so he must shake himself clean before going in.
I came here today because I have something to talk to you about, and the ancestor asked me to bring you something."
"That ancestor?"
Changjiu opened the barrier and let the three people in. His fox eyes only glanced at Jiang Baimo who was following behind Leng Zhuxin, and quickly looked away.
"Ancestor Sang."
"Hmph, I don't think it's those two. It's good enough that they didn't teach me a lesson. Why would they ask you to deliver something to me?"
Changjiu snorted coldly after hearing what Gu Wangchen said. Although it sounded like he had some opinions about the other two ancestors, he could not hide the disappointment between his brows.
Leng Zhuxin stood in the yard and looked around. The artificially carved valley was full of flowers on all sides, among which hung a kind of glowing berry, illuminating the entire valley with bright light.
Although it was windy and snowy outside, it was like warm spring in the valley. There was a vegetable patch on the left side of the large yard and a flower garden on the right side, with many things planted in them.
At the bottom of the stone steps they came down from, there was a pond dug, in which water was stored for raising fish. A bamboo table and two bamboo chairs were placed beside the pond, and a fishing rod was planted slanted beside it.
There are many lanterns hanging outside the bamboo house. They are not big but very soft and bright.
The cooking area is located on the left side of the bamboo house. There is a stove with two iron pots on it, and a bamboo shed above it.
From time to time, a few "cuckoo" sounds came from the right side. Walking a few steps forward, you can see that there are about ten chickens. Foxes love to eat chickens, so it is obvious that these chickens are raised for Yin Yan.
The bamboo house doesn't look big, just two rooms, and it's not too high. You can see several peach trees planted behind the house.
The peach tree was in bloom, and petals fluttered down onto the bamboo roof. A gentle breeze came from nowhere, and a few petals were blown and landed in front of the house.
There was a water tank under the eaves, with lotus flowers blooming in groups of three or two in the tank. There was also a long pole with a lot of bacon and sausages hanging on it.
The entire valley is like a small farmyard, warm and full of life.
Changjiu led a few people inside and picked a few spiritual fruits that could be eaten raw from the vegetable garden on the left.
It doesn’t have any spiritual power, it just tastes good.
"Junior sister, try this. This is the spiritual fruit grown by my Taoist partner."
There was tenderness in Changjiu's eyes and brows as he handed over the spiritual fruit that looked like a tomato.
Leng Zhuxin reached out to take it, thanked him before taking a bite. The taste was somewhat similar to a tomato, but the person who took care of it was very careful, so it looked very good and tasted very good.
Two light coughs were heard from inside the room, and a pale, weak hand stretched out from the bamboo window, propping up the tightly closed window.
"Ajiu, are there any guests coming?"
A very weak voice came from inside the window, and as the bamboo window was propped up, a man in white clothes appeared behind the propped up bamboo window.
Pale and sickly, he looked more like a male version of Lin Daiyu than a demon. He was so thin that he seemed like he could be knocked down by a gust of wind. This was Leng Zhuxin's first impression of Yin Yan.
