Under One Person, the little witch only wants to collect elves

Chapter 4: Elves, Dragon Veins, and Dragon Slayers
"Some of these grayish things are so vulgar and smelly." Deng Youfu was very unhappy when he saw the chaotic situation.

Guan Shihua was a straightforward person and he sternly shouted at several of his disciples.

"Everyone has dispersed. Don't you know that this is the distinguished guest I invited?"

"And you." She turned her head and looked at Deng Youfu, "What's wrong with the yellow and white stuff? When you go abroad to study, you won't use these stinky things?"

Deng Youfu was choked to the point of being speechless and stood aside with his head down.

"Heh." Yan Huan smiled. Today he finally met Guan Shihua, one of the Ten Lords, and Deng Youfu, the representative of the Maxian lineage at the Luotian Grand Ceremony.

The two were pretty much the same as Yan Huan had in mind. Guan Shihua was a cute old lady who was generous and capable. As for Deng Youfu, he was very serious and formal. Even in such a cold weather he only wore a fleece shirt and a tie, and a pair of rimless glasses. He had an evil look on his face, and looked a bit like a gentleman with a bad taste.

"I'm from the Liangshan area of ​​Sichuan. I'm Yan Huan, nice to meet you, aunt!" Yan Huan clasped his fists, stepped forward, and bowed in a proper manner.

You are already in someone else's territory. If you are timid, you will lose your grace. It is better to face it calmly.

"Youfu, bring a mink fur coat as a gift to Little Friend Yan." Guan Shihua saw that the boy was likable, so he didn't feel stingy when he gave him the gift.

After a while, Yan Huan accepted the gift from the Guan family.

Sable?
Sable fur is one of the "Three Treasures of Northeast China" and is known as the "King of Fur Coats". Sable fur is even more precious and is said to be "warm when exposed to wind, feels like flames on the face, remains wet when exposed to water, and melts when touched by snow".

"As expected of the Guan family, they are so generous." Thinking this, Yan Huan hung the mink fur on his body.

Along the way, in order not to reveal his identity, he restrained his breath and deliberately used the method of concealing his breath. It can be said that he was cold all the way. Now that he was wearing this precious mink fur, his body instantly warmed up.

I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but this valuable thing even makes my heart feel warm.

It’s a pity that I can’t accept such a valuable gift.

Yan Huan understood the principle of "a man who has eaten someone's food will be soft-hearted, and a man who has received someone's gift will be obliged to return the favor". He just wanted to show his appreciation for the gift for a while, after all, he had never worn fur in his entire life.

"My dear, you are a highly respected person in the Northeast. I am very grateful that you have the honor to invite a young man like me. As for the thought and gift, I will accept the expensive ones. As for this sable fur... Look, how can I wear it?"

Yan Huan packed up the sable fur and returned it.

"But I'm shirtless, and I don't look like a visiting lady. I'll ask you for a comfortable piece of clothing. If that doesn't work, a full military coat will do."

"Okay, okay!" Guan Shihua's narrowed eyes opened slightly.

This kid, every word and every action is handled perfectly, neither overstepping the line nor playing tricks. On the surface, he appears to be smiling and cynical, but in fact, he is very meticulous!
How come my Northeastern Ma Xian lineage doesn’t have such a wise and insightful younger generation?

"Just as my friend said, you are blessed. Get a military coat."

Deng Youfu did as he was told and Yan Huan put on his clothes.

In this way, he could not only accept the Guan family's kindness and not betray his host family, but also make himself feel at ease, thus achieving the best of both worlds.

After entering the main hall of the Guan family, Guan Shihua sat cross-legged on the armchair opposite the entrance and looked Yan Huan up and down.

"It's a bit rustic, luckily your face can hold it back."

"Thank you, auntie. It's good that this thing is warm. I was really frozen just now." Yan said with a smile.

"I am an old woman with a straightforward mind, so I won't beat around the bush. I invited you here today because I have a few things to ask you." Guan Shihua asked with a smile, half supporting her chin.

"Tell me everything you know."

"My dear Yan, do you know elves?" As soon as Guan Shihua opened his mouth, the main room instantly became quiet.

The elf is naturally not the one that Yan Huan caught with the ball in his previous life. In the words of other people, all living things in the world have Qi, and animals that have refined Qi are elves.

Animals are born with dull minds, so it is rare for them to obtain Qi and even more difficult to refine Qi. However, animals are simple in nature, and after obtaining Qi, their progress in cultivation far exceeds that of humans. Therefore, the strength of elves is generally extremely powerful.

In the Northeast, the elves that are worshipped have a more respectful and advanced title - immortals!

Among the strange people, there are some who have signed contracts with "immortals". These people are called horse immortals. Almost the entire Northeast is under the control of the horse immortal lineage, which shows how important the spirits who have signed contracts with them are to the people here.

"Elf, I know, I know." Yan Huan was born in Liangshan. This information could not be hidden in the Guan family. There was no reason to lie about it. "But this concept is very general."

Yan Huan believes that the word "elf" can be broken down into two words, "essence" and "spirit". Animals obtain "essence" through refining qi, and as for "spirit", its coverage is very broad. The hundreds of ghosts mentioned by people in the world can be called "spirits", and some concepts of gods based on beliefs can also be called "spirits".

Speaking of Jinjing Qingming, although it contains the word "jing", it means "essence". Compared with "jing", Qingming is closer to "ling".

Guan Shihua nodded, "Your Yan family's ancestors were witches, and our Northeastern Maxian is also a witch. As witches, your parents should have told you about the meaning behind Changbai Mountain, right?"

"You have been to Changbai Mountain."

Come on!

Yan Huan had planned everything, but he never guessed that Guan Shihua's invitation was about Changbai Mountain.

"I've been there, I've been there. The wild ginseng in Changbai Mountain is world-famous. I'm thinking of digging a few out to fill the gap at home."

Yan Huan did not lie about this matter. After all, the ginseng was not dug out, but a beautiful woman in white was finally dug out.

When she first met Qingming, if it weren't for the records in the ancient books at home, Yan Huan would have thought she had met the Snow Girl.

"Do you know Liu Bowen?" Guan Shihua changed the subject and asked directly.

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan was already sweating profusely.

"How could Liu Bowen, who knew 500 years ahead and 500 years behind, not know?"

Yan Huan didn't want to hide this anymore. Ever since he sent the message to Hu Sixi, he didn't expect to keep his identity as a wizard hidden.

Before coming to the Guan family compound, Yan Huan was still a little nervous, because whether Guan Shihua wanted to "detain the spirits and send the generals" or intended to win him over, he could not give a reasonable response.

But now, knowing that Ma Xian's lineage was aiming for the essence of the five elements, Yan Huan felt relieved.

To invite immortals, the immortals must be present and there must be a connection between humans and immortals.

The fact that Jin Jing Qingming was willing to follow him showed that the cause and effect involved him, and neither the Guan family nor the entire Ma Xian clan could take him down.

"Then you should also know the origin of Liu Bowen and Changbai Mountain?" Guan Shihua sighed.

"Of course." Yan Huan's face showed no sadness or joy. "The madman Liu Bowen, entrusted by Zhu Yuanzhang, cut off all the dragon veins in the world, leaving only Changbai Mountain. Therefore, this place is full of spiritual energy, and the chances of animals obtaining qi are far greater than other places. Elves also appear more frequently. Because of this, you are more likely to encounter immortals, and then ask for immortals to serve the immortals."

"It can be said that the Changbai Mountain spiritual vein is the foundation of the entire Maxian clan."

Guan Shihua restrained her smile, and the kindness and calmness on her face disappeared.

"So, my friend, please tell me, what did you take away from Changbai Mountain?"

It’s over, it’s over. This time I can’t hide it anymore.

Hey~
Yan Huan sighed, "The descendants of the Maxian clan will only cooperate with one person in their lifetime. In order to cooperate, they will even spend the efforts of several generations, or even their lives. Therefore, among the wizards, you and the elves are the most cautious in choosing each other."

"Respecting and loving elves, I like this and agree with it, so I have to advise you..."

"Auntie, the one in Changbai Mountain has nothing to do with you. If you have any plans today and insist on going down, don't blame me..."

Deng Youfu, who was standing by, became alert instantly, "What are you going to do, kid!?"

Hehehe.

Yan Huan put his hands behind his back, reached into his buttocks pocket, and pressed his thumb on the emergency dial button.

Don't blame me for calling the police.
