After I crossed, I was spoiled by my relatives and friends

Chapter 70

In the next few days, there will be many checkpoints in the imperial capital, and the defense will be tight. On the one hand, it is out of the need to protect the people, and on the other hand, it is to intercept the demons who are still hiding in the capital, catch them, kill those who should be killed, and put those who should be imprisoned .

After five consecutive days of turmoil, the demons in the imperial capital were cleaned up, and the monks in the imperial city finally withdrew their troops to start the second reconstruction.

The common people have no opinion, after all, the imperial court will compensate them for their losses.But the people in charge of the repair and construction had already sprayed the demons thousands of times in their hearts. Every time Su Yi went to the street and passed the collapsed buildings, he could hear the construction workers cursing while working.

This is a good thing, reducing the natural fear of the common people towards the demons, and creating conditions for the fusion of the three races that may come in the future.

Su Yi thought so, but couldn't help laughing because of the witty words of the construction workers.

The matter of the demon invasion was resolved, and the imperial capital returned to calm. Afterwards, the big and small things were handled by the Taishangfu and the court, but they had nothing to do with ordinary people.

On Su Yi's side, the final exam of Yunxia Academy arrived as scheduled, and he thought he did a good job in reviewing, so he was full of confidence when he entered the exam room.

However, as soon as he got the papers of literature and history, he knew that he had made a mistake.Gentlemen, the real meaning of the scope of the examination drawn before the examination is that all the content must be tested except for the scope drawn.

Su Yi scratched his ears and cheeks at the paper, and was worried for several days after the exam. Even the first grade in the practical class could not make him raise his eyebrows and smile, which made the people around him also worry.

It wasn't until the results came out that he saw the qualified instructions in all subjects, and he was relieved.

Several Su family members and Bai Qi also heaved a sigh of relief.

Not long after the assessment was over, it was New Year's Eve.

On the eve of New Year's Eve, Su Yi invited Jue Chenyuan to celebrate the New Year at Tianjimen.

Although the Heavenly Mystery Sect is large, during the Chinese New Year, the disciples have their own places to go, leaving only a part of the combat power to guard the mountain gate.As for the Su family, they naturally only spent their lives in the small courtyard where they lived, without extravagance and luxury, not much different from ordinary families.

Su Yi invited Jin Chenyuan because he felt that Cui Que in Cangshan Mountain was deserted, and the Spring Festival was a festival between family members. Considering his complicated entanglement with Cang Tian Que, he was afraid that he would fall in love with the scene.

After receiving the invitation, Jianchenyuan readily agreed, and joined the Su family's family activities with the uninvited Bai Qi - cleaning and Spring Festival decorations.

For a group of practitioners, cleaning is as difficult as dusting off clothes.However, if you use spells to assist, the meaning of family activities will be lost, so everyone gave up spells one after another, picked up brooms and rags, and cleaned by themselves.

Ordinary people hope to have the ability to clean with one click, but practitioners who really have this ability choose more troublesome things instead. The world has always been interesting.

In the room, Su Hongchen tied up her hair and sleeves, and held up a long broom with two bamboo poles attached to it to clean up the cobwebs or moss on the corners and roofs. From time to time, a burst of dust came down, causing her to cough expressionlessly.

Su Zhong was in charge of cleaning the doors, windows and furniture, carrying a small bucket and two rags for washing, running upstairs and downstairs, inside and outside the house, sweating profusely after several trips, and felt the beatings of trivial matters in life for the first time.

Housework is much more tiring than sitting in the study and dealing with various affairs.

Su Yi and Su Pingyi are probably the only two people in the Su family who have experience in housework, especially Su Yi, no matter in his past or present life, he has worked hard, not to mention how skilled he is in cleaning.

Su Pingyi had the experience of traveling the world as an ordinary person when he was a teenager. He carried goods at the pier, moved bricks and mud at the construction site, and cleaned other people's new houses. Even though he hasn't looked back for many years, he is still proficient. very.

However, the two people who are most familiar with housework did not touch housework. Instead, they moved a table in the yard, one wrote couplets and blessings, the other cut paper and tied safe knots. Hongchen commanded to run around.

As guests, Bai Qi and Yan Chenyuan were responsible for the leisurely work of grinding ink and cutting paper.

With his ease of splashing ink, Su wrote on the well-cut red paper like a god and like a broken bamboo.

The first one was to be posted at the main entrance, so he chose a set of "Spring is full of thousands of miles in Shenzhou, and every family is prosperous in a prosperous age", and horizontally commented "Renewing the order of the year".

Su Pingyi's calligraphy is flamboyant and graceful, showing his unique free and easy temperament.The font itself is dense and straight, proud and bony, like a red plum in frost and snow, lonely and uncommon.

Su Yi held the folded paper and just cut out the outline of a pair of Shuangyumen paper, when he saw him finish the first Spring Festival couplet with a few strokes.

Looking at his handwriting again, Su Yi's small face couldn't help but collapse when he thought of the comment on his literature and history examination paper that "you need to practice more handwriting".

"Father, take me to practice calligraphy after the new year." Su Yi sighed and cut down, and said sullenly, "I really can't handle the calligraphy that knocked down Buzhou Mountain with my hand."

Su Pingyi was amused by his words: "Okay. But what code did you Gong Gong use to knock down Bu Zhoushan?"

"Ah?" Su Yi was dumbfounded for a moment, and then realized that she had leaked out the fairy tales of her previous life in a moment of quick talk, "Ah...it's nothing, I was talking nonsense."

Jue Chenyuan helped to tie the red thread of the peace knot. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "I've heard of Buzhou Mountain. This is the sacred mountain in the legend of our monster clan. It is said that it is the pillar of heaven that supports the sky and the earth." , is also the birthplace of the demon clan. As for Gonggong...maybe it is a god in a certain area's mythology?"

As he spoke, he looked at Su Yi curiously.

Su Yi nodded with a dry smile: "That's right, he is the character in the fairy tale I just saw randomly."

Su Pingyi picked up his pen and dipped his ink in the ink, glanced at his son, and didn't get entangled in the matter, but continued along the line: "Speaking of which, although there are many overlaps and contradictions in the myths and stories in the world, most of them are wonderful. It is no less than a practitioner's life experience, and it has nothing to do with the practice world, and I don't know how the common people came up with it."

Su Yi's heart twitched, and a faint guess appeared, but he pressed it hard again.

Bai Qi was also cutting paper. Hearing this, her eyes flickered, and she said with a faint smile, "I used to study in Yunxia Academy, and I was very interested in this issue, so I studied it for a while."

"What did you research?" Su Yi asked impatiently after cutting out a pair of beautiful fish tails.

Su Pingyi and Jianchen Yuan also stopped what they were doing and looked at him.

"Well..." Bai Qi dragged her tone, deliberately whetting their appetite, until they waited until they wanted to hit someone, then smiled and said: "I found that folk myths and stories often have different levels according to different regional environments. The characters and gods in mythology have changed little.”

He threw out the conclusion first, and after attracting the attention of the three, he gave an example:

"For example, regarding the Golden Crow, the area south of Huainan Road regards it as the sun god. There is a legend that the Golden Crow rises with the sun in the east, and is a good god. But outside of Huainan Road, especially in the northern area, the Golden Crow is often regarded as a villain. In addition to the well-known legend that ten days are the same day, there is also the saying that the golden crow swallows the sun and steals the sun."

Su Yi heard another familiar term, but it was the first time he heard it mentioned in this world, his eyelids twitched, and the Buzhou Mountain and Zhu Jiuyin in the previous weird dream reappeared in front of his eyes.

It's over!It can't really be what he thinks, can it?

"The monster race also has legends about the Golden Crow." Jian Chenyuan joined the discussion excitedly, "When I was young, I was raised by Lord Peacock, and it told me the story of the Golden Crow, saying that the Golden Crow is a sky demon from the demon race, and even more so. One of the ancestors of the Yaozu!"

"Oh? Who once said that?" Su Pingyi narrowed his phoenix eyes, and said meaningfully: "If so, this may not be as simple as a legend."

Bai Qiyu's fingers passed through the red line, and when he lowered his head, the emerald tassels on his temples swayed slightly, and the scattered light and shadow covered his beautiful and cold eyebrows and eyes, showing a bit of deepness for no reason.

He said unhurriedly: "Except for the Golden Crow, most of the characters with names and surnames in folk mythology can almost be related to the monster race. Among them, the most special one is the dragon race, and the other is the phoenix race. Both belong to the spirit beasts of heaven and earth, and are described as extremely powerful and specific in mythology. But the consensus in the practice world is that there are no two kinds of creatures, dragon and phoenix, in the world."

"Doesn't it exist?" Su Yi blurted out, "But isn't it said that the peacock is the descendant of the Phoenix?"

Bai Qi picked up the folding fan, tapped his forehead fondly, and said: "The existing classics—whether the human race or the monster race, there is one biggest contradiction in the statement about peacocks, that is, while saying that peacocks are born At the same time, he said that the peacock might be the descendant of the Phoenix. In fact, the latter description has never been confirmed, and the peacock has always been regarded as a spirit beast, but it has a relatively close relationship with the demon clan."

"what……"

Su Yi puffed her mouth, her small round face was wrinkled like a freshly baked steamed stuffed bun, troubled but cute.

Bai Qi's eyes softened, and she was about to pinch her hand when Su Pingyi knocked her hand back with a brush.

"Ahem." Looking at him warningly, Su Pingyi cleared his throat, "Folk myths have always been out of touch with reality, so don't think about it."

Bai Qi withdrew her hand as if nothing had happened, and nodded to show her agreement with what he said.

Su Yi lowered her long eyelashes, finished the last cut neatly, and slowly unfolded the folded red paper, revealing a round paper frame, inside the frame was a pair of lifelike ink salmon.

"Father, have you heard of Candle Dragon?" He asked casually while flattening the folds.

Su Pingyi didn't doubt that he was there, staring at the pair of ink-and-wash paper fish gates and said, "Well, I've been to Jiangnan Road, and I've heard the name in the fairy tales there."

While he was talking, Bai Qi took the door slip from Su Yi's hand, and caressed the bright red fish with her plain fingertips, cherishing and loving her: "This fish is exquisitely cut, it's a pity to stick it on the door."

"It's just a door note, it's not difficult." Su Yi was immediately distracted, and raised a bright smile at him, "If the immortal master likes it, I will give this to you."

Su Pingyi raised his eyebrows, but before he could speak, Bai Qi quickly put away the Shuangyumen paper and thanked her with a smile.

Father Su: "..."

This man is so scheming!He shouldn't be here today!

Su Pingyi looked the same on the outside, but his heart was already like a blowfish.

At this time, Su Yi put down the scissors, picked up the red rope that Bai Qi had slung before, knotted and wrapped several thick ropes, and skillfully and quickly weaved an auspicious knot, with two jasper beads on the bottom. Green complements each other, delicate and graceful.

The other three people present were not good at handicrafts, and they usually didn't care about these things. Although they had heard of the popular safety knots in the folk, they had rarely seen them, and almost didn't take them seriously when they saw them.

Now seeing Su Yi weave a knot that looks very complicated in appearance so easily, they couldn't help being startled.

Su Yi ignored them who were in a daze, and shouted "Auntie" into the room, and the next moment, Su Hongchen rushed out in a hurry.

"Little Su Yi, what's the matter?" Su Hongchen bent slightly to stare at Su Yi, his stern face softened a bit.

Su Yi smiled and tied the auspicious knot around her waist, and said solemnly: "Give this peace knot to aunt, and treat it as a New Year's gift, for good luck!"

Su Hongchen was obviously taken aback, and couldn't help lowering her head to carefully hold up the auspicious knot. After she realized it, she raised her hand and put dozens of protective spells on it, and then replied very seriously: "Thank you, I will Cherish it well."

Her expression was so serious that Su Yi couldn't laugh or cry: "Actually... Forget it, as long as you are happy."

Su Hongchen rubbed Su Yi's hair, and his feet floated back into the room as lightly as if he was stepping on the wind, making cleaning even more vigorous.

Su Yi smiled, and when she turned her head, she met three... no, four gazes, and one from the door.

Being stared at by Su Pingyi, Bai Qi, Su Zhong and Juan Chenyuan, Su Yi's heart trembled, she shrank her neck, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Hey, we're all family members. I want a bowl of water to be flat." Su Pingyi coughed lightly, and stretched out his hand to him, eyes full of bright desire, "Where's Daddy's gift?"

"There are big brothers!" Su Zhong's voice came from afar.

"I……"

Bai Qi also wanted to speak, but was stared back by Su Pingyi.Because of the way he treated Su Yi, he felt guilty towards the Su family, but Su Pingyi stared at him, and immediately shut up.

Fortunately, he got a door note, no loss.

Jian Chenyuan blinked, his round cat eyes full of innocence: "I am your friend, if I can't get the Ping An knot, can you give me a paper-cut? Anything is fine!"

"Uh..." Su Yi smiled dryly: "Hahaha, there are all of them, all of them."

Wait a minute?Isn't his handiwork used to furnish the house?

……

On New Year's Eve, the sun climbed onto the window sill, overflowing like water, seeping densely into the red plum grilles and penetrating into the room.

Everyone is still asleep.

Suddenly, there was a sound of firecrackers, as if waking up the sleeping world. Su Yi, who was lying on the bed, opened her eyes at once, jumped out of the bed barefoot, rubbed her eyes and ran to the window and pushed it open. A string of lighted firecrackers hung on the door, and Jian Chenyuan jumped beside him angrily, trying to push him out.

Cang Tianque had no expression on his face, and let him push and push, but he didn't move.

Su Pingyi opened the door. Seeing this scene, he reluctantly stepped forward to try to persuade him to make peace, and seemed to be joking about something.

Standing aside, Jue Chenyuan gritted his teeth, finally stomped on Cang Tianque angrily, then turned around and ran towards the house.

Before Su Yi could react, he heard a knock on the door.

"Ayi." Su Zhong's gentle and smiling voice came into the room, "Get up quickly, it's Chinese New Year."
