In the evening, dozens of people came to a river.
The river is only a few feet wide, winding toward the south for an unknown length.
Everyone sat down on the ground beside the stream, forming several small circles and whispering.
Lin Jingzhe held a mouthful of stream water. The entrance of the stream was sweet and sweet, with a hint of coldness.
"Lin Gaoren, what should we do now?"
"What should I do?" Lin Jingzhe was a little confused.
"We have just been kicked out of the Immortal Sect and are homeless. Isn't Lin Gaoren worried?"
"Worried?" Lin Jingzhe smiled and said, "I'm just here to ask for directions. What does it have to do with whether I am kicked out or not?"
"Okay, I thought you really wanted to stay in Qingyun Mountain after paying so much gold. Who knew you really came here to inquire about the route?"
"Otherwise." Lin Jingzhe said, "Now that you have been kicked out of the Immortal Sect, what are your plans next?"
"I don't have any plans. I will follow them wherever they go." Zheng Daniu pointed to the circles surrounding them and said.
"Okay." Lin Jingzhe said.
"Fat Niu, what are you talking about there? This swordsman just caught a fat fish. Come and kill it quickly and roast it until it's cooked."
"Yes, it's Shangguan Sword Immortal. I'm coming right away." Zheng Daniu responded, saying he was as humble as he could be.
Lin Jingzhe glanced at the monk who claimed to be Sword Immortal but was only at the second level of Qi cultivation. He was stunned for a moment. He was already at the foundation level and did not dare to call himself Sword Immortal. How could this person be so thick-skinned?
There are not many handyman disciples in Qingyun Mountain. In addition to Zheng Daniu, there are several other handyman disciples who have no cultivation. They are being called around by everyone at this time, and they have no dignity at all.
After all, a mortal who cannot cultivate is like a metaphor between heaven and earth compared to a person who can cultivate. Even if they leave the Immortal Sect, if they still want to eat this meal, they cannot complain, otherwise, in the future, let Remember these immortals in your heart, but there is no good fruit to eat.
After being busy until late at night, Zheng Daniu returned to Lin Jingzhe's side out of breath, then lowered his head and picked up a mouthful of stream water, gurgling and drinking.
"Is it worth it?" Lin Jingzhe asked him.
After drinking the water from the stream, Zheng Daniu said: "I am just a mortal, I have no choice. If I want to stay in the Immortal Sect, I must work hard and bear no complaints."
"Yes." Lin Jingzhe did not persuade him to leave these Qingyun disciples. After all, when he met him a few days ago, he would rather be deceived and abandoned than return to Qingyun Mountain. This persistence should be engraved in his bones.
"Gulu gulu."
At this time, Zheng Daniu growled dissatisfiedly.
"Have you never eaten?"
"No."
"They won't give it?"
"They said they didn't have enough food, so they wouldn't let us eat."
"Are you all like this?" Lin Jingzhe discovered at this time that the other handyman disciples had finished their work and ran to the stream to drink water from the stream.
"They should all be the same." Zheng Daniu said uncertainly.
"You are working, but they still don't give you food?" Lin Jingzhe frowned, "You want to follow this?"
"There is no way." Zheng Daniu said: "They are all immortals. Although they look very depressed now, there will eventually be other immortal sects to take them in. As long as I follow them, I can return to the immortal sect."
"Is it really that important?"
"It's important." Zheng Daniu said: "Lin Gaoren, you don't know, even if I don't stay on the fairy mountain to work for them, calling back and forth, and go to the towns in the mortal world, I still have to repeat it. These jobs are even less satisfying.”
Zheng Dali Newton paused and continued: "You probably don't know, Lin Gao. A few years ago, there was a drought. I don't know how many people died in the town where I lived. They all died of starvation and illness. But after On the Fairy Mountain, at least there is food to eat and you won’t starve to death.”
Lin Jingzhe was stunned for a long time. The word "hungry" had not appeared in his mind for a long time. He remembered that when he was five years old, there was a severe drought and the land was cracked. Many crops died in the ground, resulting in no harvest. Then the town The government also wanted to increase taxes, which resulted in many people dying at that time. If the village chief hadn't cooked more porridge and water for him, he would have died long ago.
After practicing for nine years and breaking through the foundation-building period, his mentality seems to have expanded a bit. He no longer has the awareness and attitude of living in the world, living hard, and living in the present. Now that Zheng Daniu mentioned it, there is an inexplicable "meaning" in his mentality. Activating.
I don't know what this "meaning" means. It is mysterious and mysterious. It seems to be covered by a hazy aura and can be broken through at any time.
"Thank you." Lin Jingzhe said gratefully to Zheng Daniu.
"What are you grateful to me for?"
"Please eat sesame cakes."
"Eating sesame cakes?" Zheng Daniu asked doubtfully: "Lin Gaoren, don't tease me. This place is deserted and uninhabited. Where can I get sesame cakes?"
"I have it." After Lin Jingzhe said this, he took out a sesame seed cake from his arms.
"It's really good." Not to mention how happy Zheng Daniu was, he took the sesame seed cake and just put it to his mouth, then stopped again.
"What's wrong?"
"Can I share some with them?"
"The sesame cakes are in your hands, you can control them yourself."
"Okay." Zheng Daniu stood up, divided the sesame biscuits into six pieces, and then walked up to the five other disciples who were exhausted from exhaustion one by one, and divided out the sesame biscuits he had already handed out, one piece to each of them.
Lin Jingzhe looked at this frail figure and was stunned for a moment. How could anyone be willing to throw away such a warm-hearted person?
Zheng Daniu finished dividing the sesame cakes in his hands, then returned to Lin Jingzhe, sat down carelessly, and began to enjoy his own sesame cakes.
"Is it worth it for you to do this?" Lin Jingzhe suddenly became curious about his method of doing things.
"It's worth it." Zheng Daniu said carelessly: "They won't be hungry after eating my sesame cakes."
"Okay." Lin Jingzhe felt a bit dumbfounded by this answer.
"Do you want to drink?" Lin Jingzhe took off the wine gourd on his back and asked him.
"If you don't drink it, you won't be able to wake up tomorrow."
"Okay." After Lin Jingzhe said that, he picked up the wine gourd and took a sip of spicy wine.
He didn't know how to drink, but he wanted to drink tonight. For some reason, he felt like a vague "meaning" was about to sublimate in his sea of consciousness.
"Hahaha......"
At this time, a laughter came from mid-air, and then the laughter got closer and closer.
Everyone was about to rest, but when they heard this voice, they had no courage to rest. They all looked up into the sky and saw a person in the sky flying towards here on a green-brown coffin.
Everyone was shocked, wasn't this the disciple of the Heavenly Corpse Sect who drove everyone away? Why did he fly here? Could it be that they heard everyone's curses just now and sent people to hunt them down?
The man trampling on the coffin hovered over the crowd, seeming to be looking for a target. He didn't stop until he saw Lin Jingzhe, who was drinking heavily.
"Haha, it's not good for the boy to drink alone." The man in the coffin shouted, then drove the coffin and landed by the stream.
Someone felt that they were too close to the owner of the coffin, so they quickly moved their position and hid far away.
"Are you all so afraid of me?" The owner of the coffin looked doubtfully at the Qingyun Mountain disciples who were hiding away from him, and smiled with Xi.
"Boy, why don't you hide?" the owner of the coffin asked Lin Jingzhe who was sitting by the stream.
"Why should I hide?" Lin Jingzhe also recognized this person, but did not choose to hide, but chose to ask.
"Haha, interesting. This is the first time I, Qingyun Guest, have seen such an interesting person."
"Haven't you seen it now?"
"Yep."
The person who came was none other than Qingyun Ke, but Ru Meng was nowhere to be seen.
"Are you here to find me?"
"you guess."
"I don't like guessing." Lin Jingzhe said, "Did Rumeng tell you my identity?"
"Who is Rumeng?" Qingyunke suddenly realized: "So her name is Rumeng."
Lin Jingzhe was startled. He thought Rumeng had told him everything, but unexpectedly, this person didn't even know Rumeng's name. Although it was not ruled out that he was pretending, this pretense was somewhat realistic.
"Are you here to trick me?"
"Haha, no, you said it yourself."
Lin Jingzhe was speechless.
"It's boring to drink alone, so let me, Qingyun Guest, drink with you."
"You want to drink even if there is saliva?"
"I don't mind."
"I mind."
"Hahaha."
"How did you recognize my abnormality?"
"I noticed it when Ru Meng met your eyes."
"Oh? You have good observation skills."
"It's okay." Qingyunke didn't mind the silent flattery.
"I'm a little curious. You, a monk with thirty percent Qi training, are so calm when you see me, a monk in the foundation building stage."
"Are you going to hide when you see a monk in the foundation building stage?"
"Haha." Qingyunke laughed: "I suspect you are hiding your cultivation."
"No."
"there must be."
"Then you think it's possible." Lin Jingzhe didn't want to dwell too much on this topic.
"If it were normal times, if someone dared to speak like this to me, he would have died many times."
"Then I'm honored that you showed mercy."
"I'm curious about what Rumeng likes about you. Thinking about it, it seems that it must be your courage, but courage is probably not enough to make her willingly bear the burden for you."
"What do you mean?" Lin Jingzhe was a little confused as to why he suddenly mentioned Rumeng and said that Rumeng was carrying something for him.
"You don't know?" Qingyunke said in surprise.
"What do you know?" Lin Jingzhe was even more puzzled.
"You have also met Wang Lu, right?"
"I've seen it."
"That will work."
“What works?”
Qingyunke did not hide anything, "Wang Lu stole a magic weapon from our Tianzhi Sect. We are hunting him, and his apprentice Rumeng seemed to know where he was, so I threatened her to take me to find him. At first she didn't He agreed, but he only agreed when I threatened the people she cares about."
Qingyunke paused, "I didn't know who she cared about before, but when she glanced at you today, I knew you were the one she cared about. It turns out you are such a young and handsome boy. "
"I also know where Wang Lu is. Let her go. I'll be your hostage." Lin Jingzhe didn't want to default on the favor. The word "favor" was the most difficult to repay.
"Oh? You actually know where Wang Lu is?" Qingyunke was delighted, "Tell me."
"Let him go first, and then I'll tell you."
"This is not the time for you to bargain."
"But I also have bargaining power." Lin Jingzhe grinned and smiled.
Qingyunke frowned. He looked at the young man's smile and suddenly felt palpitations in his heart. Although it was only fleeting, he really felt it. There was nothing wrong with it.
"You have to face the entire Heavenly Corpse Sect, not just me." Qingyunke said with a smile.
"Then what are you going to do to let her go?" Lin Jingzhe lost her temper and compromised.
"It's so simple, tell me where Wang Lu is, and then help me catch Wang Lu, and I will let Rumeng return to you."
"Wang Lu is crazy."
"Crazy?" Qingyunke frowned, "Then where is he now?"
"I don't know either."
"Are you kidding me?"
