"Little Stone, come here."
When Yang Zhen followed Caisi to a flat land in the mountains, her mother-in-law was already waiting there. She was facing the east, looking at the rising red sun that had just peeked out from the mountains.
Today, grandma changed into a well-tailored blue dress with a blue ribbon tied around her waist. She looked dashing and full of energy.
Seeing Yang Zhen coming, she waved him over.
Yang Zhen walked forward obediently, and her mother-in-law grabbed one of his hands and lifted him forward. Yang Zhen flew up involuntarily. When he felt like he was stepping on something real again, he found that under his feet was a flying sword reflecting dazzling white light, and he was floating in the air.
Yang Zhen was startled. She grabbed her grandma tightly with both hands. She didn't dare to step firmly with her feet, for fear that the flying sword would fall if she exerted a little force.
"Good boy, don't be afraid." Grandma's gentle voice sounded in her ears. It seemed to have a calming effect. Yang Zhen came back to her senses, looked at her, and smiled a little sheepishly.
"No matter how much you move, you won't fall." Seeing that Yang Zhen was still a little nervous, Mammy comforted her again.
Yang Zhen calmed down and experienced this rare flying experience. His feet seemed to be stepping on a solid floor, and his whole body was wrapped in a film, pushing him forward. Feeling this safety, the fear in his heart suddenly disappeared.
Looking at the rolling mountains at her feet, and the small bonsai-like Zhuyang County in the distance, and listening to the high-altitude wind whistling by, Yang Zhen was full of pride:
"I must step into the door of cultivating immortality in this life!"
Just as Yang Zhen was thinking about it, her grandma pointed to a towering mountain peak in the distance and said, "That's where the county temple is. Let's go there first."
County view? Yang Zhen saw this term many times in the county annals and knew that there were many immortal cultivators there, but she never knew its origin.
"Mommy, where is Junguan?"
"It is the residence of Yunxiao Sect in the mortal world." Mammy explained. Seeing that Yang Zhen looked confused, she explained in detail:
"Yunxiao Sect has its own residence in every state, every county, and even every county in Xu State. The one in the state is called a palace, the one in the county is called a palace, and the one in the county is called a palace. For example, we want to The full name of the county temple we went to is the branch temple of Yunxiao Sect in Xuyang County, Yunzhou."
"I read that the county magistrate said that wherever there are monsters, the county officials will send people to kill them and eliminate the harm..."
"That's true. But there are also many monks in the local area. If they can't handle it, the county guards will take action..."
"The immortals in the county temple must be so powerful!" Yang Zhen said in praise.
"That's hard to say." A smile appeared on Mammy's face: "They are just responsible."
"Are the monsters in the wild more powerful, or the immortals in the county temple?" Yang Zhen asked enthusiastically.
He is really a child, he just likes to compare who is the most powerful. Grandma looked at Yang Zhen lovingly: "Most of the monsters in the wild are monsters that have just awakened their monster power, and their strength is very poor. As long as the number is not too large..."
When Grandma said this, she frowned slightly, as if she thought of something. Seeing that Yang Zhen was listening seriously, she continued: "Most monks can deal with it."
"Where are those powerful monsters?"
"Either being killed or captured will not allow them to truly grow."
"Can't mortals go to the suburbs?"
"You can go near towns. If you occasionally find monsters, you can deal with them quickly. Far away, that is the wilderness, and it is best not for mortals to go. If you want to pass through those places, you must go in groups and be protected by monks. …”
"There is a sect's county hall in the county, but what about the countryside? And the villages below, will there be monks to protect them?"
"There are disciples of the sect stationed in the village, but further down, there are none. However, in most villages, there will be a few monks with some cultivation to rely on. In this way, some small monsters can be dealt with by themselves. If they cannot be dealt with, You can also call the police in time..."
…
Yang Zhen asked him all the questions he had about the world, and Mammy answered them one by one. She was particularly patient with Yang Zhen today and was very kind in her words.
Unfortunately, Jun Guan was not far away, and Yang Zhen still had many questions before she had time to ask. The flying sword had already approached Jun Guan, and its speed also slowed down, and it flew towards the mountain gate.
The mountain gate is a red archway, with two big characters written on the plaque at the main entrance: Yunxiao.
There were already two monks waiting under the archway, and as soon as the flying sword landed, they came forward.
Walking in front was a middle-aged man wearing a yellow shirt, with a white face and no beard, who looked like a scribe. He cupped his hands towards Grandma:
"I've met Senior Sister Zhang."
Behind him is a young Taoist priest with a thin face and a clear demeanor. Yang Zhen recognized at a glance that it was the Taoist who killed the fish demon in Zhujiang River a few days ago.
The Taoist priest also stepped forward and saluted: "Junior Zhao Liyu has met senior Zhang."
Grandma first joked with the middle-aged man: "Junior brother Yu, our two families are so close, and I often come here to check in. You are so polite every time, do you not want me to come?"
"No matter where you are, etiquette cannot be discarded. Junior brother welcomes senior sister to come over often and give you advice." Junior brother Yu replied with a smile.
Grandma was too lazy to pay attention to him and faced the young Taoist priest: "I have never seen you before. Your surname is also Zhao. Are you related to the Zhao family?"
Zhao Liyu quickly replied: "This junior is from Qingzhou. This time I was sent by the sect to come to Shuyang County for training."
"Oh? How old are you, and what is your current level of cultivation?" Grandma asked.
Although she could use spells to check the young monk's cultivation, in the world of immortality, doing so was very rude. On the contrary, it seems natural for the senior to directly ask about the cultivation of the junior, and it is a kind of concern for the junior. Sometimes when the seniors are interested, they can also give some pointers or give some greeting gifts or something.
Therefore, Zhao Liyu did not hesitate and replied respectfully: "I am thirty-one, and now I am at the ninth level of Qi training."
"Well, we are not far away from completing Qi training, and we can look forward to building the foundation. You are young and promising, not bad!" Grandma praised.
After saying that, he took out a pill and said, "This is the Qi Purification Pill. It can remove some impurities in the Qi and help you consolidate your foundation."
Zhao Liyu happily took the elixir: "Thank you, senior, for the reward!"
"Since your surname is Zhao, you can go to Zhao's house and sit there when you have time. There is no need to treat yourself as an outsider."
"As ordered." Zhao Liyu responded respectfully.
While he was talking, Junior Brother Yu had already taken out a bronze mirror, pointed at Yang Zhen and asked, "Is this the child that Senior Sister mentioned yesterday?"
"That's right." Grandma warned: "Test it carefully, but don't scare the child."
"rest assured!"
Junior Brother Yu wandered up to Yang Zhen: "Little baby, close your eyes."
Yang Zhen was a little nervous: "Mommy, what are you going to do?"
"This is a demon mirror. Let's see if you, little guy, have turned into a demon." Junior Brother Yu threatened happily.
"Little Shitou, don't be afraid. This is just to check your soul to see if there is any damage."
Mammy glared at Junior Brother Yu fiercely and comforted Yang Zhen softly.
After thinking about it, she felt a little worried and simply grabbed Yang Zhen's hand: "Mommy is with you, don't worry."
"If you are really kidnapped, then I can only destroy you." She had already made a plan in her heart.
