Waiting for Qu Wuming to meet Han Tian and Yun Feng in Changqing City, to being chased by the Phantom Sound Witch until he was seriously injured, and then to being given elixirs and treasures by Han Tian, his cultivation reached two levels in a row, one after another, After telling each story, Geng Liqiu was amazed. After hearing this, he couldn't help but yearn for this little brother Qu Wuming had made friends with, and wished he could go to Lingyin Sect to make friends with him.
"Brother Qu, from this point of view, little brother Han Tian has indeed shown kindness to Brother Qu." Geng Liqiu now understood why Qu Wuming was so determined to go to the underworld, "But, are you sure he Do you need these? If it is as Brother Qu said, I feel that little brother Han Tian may not be able to appreciate the Supreme Alchemist Order."
"He may not be able to use the Alchemist Order, but the opportunity to study in the Alchemy Pagoda for half a year is not something that just any alchemist can get." Qu Wuming replied, "You know, if you study in the Alchemy Pagoda, you will have the opportunity to read the alchemy. The Alchemist's Handbook, the foundation of the alchemy sect, is the top book on alchemy in the ten directions. Not everyone in the alchemy sect has the opportunity to study it. With Han Tian's talent in alchemy and his If I study in the Alchemy Pagoda for another half a year, my attainments will probably be unmatched by anyone in the Alchemy Path in the future."
"Brother Qu is indeed a person who knows how to repay his kindness. He can fight for this opportunity for Han Tian to venture to the underworld. Brother, I really admire him! Come on, give Brother Qu another drink!" Geng Liqiu smacked his lips, picked up the wine cup and said.
"Why do you look like a jealous little lady?" Qu Wuming picked up the wine cup and laughed, "Han Tian is my brother, and you are also my brother. If there is something suitable for you, brother, in the future, why? Brother will fight for you as well."
"Brother Qu is just kidding, haha." Geng Liqiu also laughed when he heard this, "Brother Qu knows this little brother, and he is also my little brother. When this beast tide passes, sooner or later I will find an opportunity to get acquainted with them." Fan."
The two of them chatted a lot while changing cups. Geng Liqiu even told Qu Wuming all the news about the outsiders in the Void Refining Stage that he had heard before, so that Qu Wuming could prepare in advance in the underworld in the future.
After drinking and eating, Geng Liqiu invited Qu Wuming to live in his mansion, but Qu Wuming declined.
Geng Liqiu knew that Qu Wuming was going to that place, so he stopped insisting.
After seeing off Geng Liqiu, Qu Wuming only used a little luck to dispel the drunkenness in his body. Just as Geng Liqiu expected, Qu Wuming walked straight towards the south of the city.
————
Most of the people living in the southern city of Snow City are ordinary people with no cultivation, and on the edge of the southern city, there is a special area that occupies a large area.
Strictly speaking, the real "landowner" here is Qu Wuming.
It's just that Qu Wuming doesn't have a room of his own here, so he can only stay in the guest room every time he comes.
Lin's Anjiyuan.
Anjiyuan is the largest hospital in Xueyu City. It not only houses hundreds of lonely elderly people or people with disabilities, but also has dedicated staff responsible for caring for and educating the orphans sent here.
Because it is on the front line against the monsters in the Far North, there are often lonely old people in the snowy city who have lost their support, or soldiers who have been injured in battle and are unable to take care of themselves, or people who have lost their loved ones since childhood. An orphan who lost his parents.
For their livelihood, Xueyu City has always supported and cared for charitable groups such as Yangji Hall and Anjiyuan. After all, the existence of such groups has added an extra layer of security to the people of Xueyu City. , and it can give ordinary people who choose to join the army an extra sense of warmth and peace of mind.
In fact, more than 200 years ago, Lin's Anjiyuan was just a small private courtyard. A widow named Lin took in seven or eight children who had lost their parents. By working hard at everything, the neighbors The support and some savings accumulated previously were barely enough to survive.
Until one day, a tall monk with only an inch of black hair on his head who seemed to have just returned to secular life passed by the door of Widow Lin's house. He happened to hear the conversation between the two eldest children in the yard, and couldn't help but stop, opened the door and walked in. .
Because he heard the two children mention a name - Wanqing's mother.
The tall monk who returned to secular life was Qu Wuming who had left Xuanfa Temple not long ago.
After some questioning, Qu Wuming was disappointed to find that this Lin Wanqing was not the other Lin Wanqing, but he was still deeply moved by Lin Wanqing's actions. Recalling that Lin Wanqing had never hesitated to lend a helping hand to others when they needed it, Qu Wuming made up his mind at that time and wanted to stay and help this Lin Wanqing.
Compared to ordinary people, Qu Wuming was actually considered a wealthy man.
People who practice Taoism do not actually lack "worldly things" such as gold and silver. Moreover, not only are there no shortage of people who have achieved a little success in cultivation, but they will also find ways to accumulate more, because after all, ordinary people often need to do things for themselves, especially those ordinary people who hold great power or have abundant resources. Things like silver are the best communication tools.
Since Qu Wuming was determined to help Lin Wanqing, especially after having direct contact with her and realizing that she was really a kind-hearted person, he spared no effort.
First, he spent a lot of money to buy a large private house in the south of the city and converted it into a large-scale Anjiyuan. He also went to the city lord's mansion in person to go through the relevant registration procedures and officially hung up the title of Lin's Anjiyuan. brand.
In order to solve the problem of shortage of manpower, Qu Wuming helped Lin Wanqing recruit many women to help here, hired a special resident doctor to stay there, and even hired a special teacher to teach the orphans culture. In just two or three days, Within a few months, it was built into the largest and best-equipped Anjiyuan in Xueyu City, and Lin Wanqing, who had worked hard for half his life, became the head of Lin's Anjiyuan when he was in his forties. The first dean.
Since then, Qu Wuming would go to Snowy City in Northern Xinjiang almost every few years, or at most more than ten years. On the one hand, he went to Xueyu City to do some tasks and hunted monsters to earn some spiritual stones. On the other hand, he wanted to see the situation of Lin's Anji Yuan and leave them with enough property.
Perhaps because he knew the reason why Qu Wuming initially helped establish the Lin Family Anji Yuan, the first dean, Lin Wanqing, set a rule requiring that every subsequent dean who succeeded him must have grown up in the Anji Yuan. An orphan, and must be renamed "Lin Wanqing" before taking over as dean.
When Qu Wuming later learned about this rule, he was quite dumbfounded, but thinking that Dean Lin had no selfish motives in doing this, he let her go.
However, perhaps it is precisely because of this generation of Dean "Lin Wanqing" that Qu Wuming's care for this place has really never been interrupted for more than two hundred years.
————
Perhaps because he discovered that Lin Wanqing had not recovered her memory after her true rebirth, Qu Wuming's rush to Lin's Anji Yuan became much slower this time.
It's not because I no longer care about this place, but when I think of that name, I feel some inexplicable pain in my heart.
"Hey... If this continues, I'm afraid I'll leave my inner demon behind." Qu Wuming was walking on the road, knowing that his mentality was not very good, so he couldn't help but shake his head and sighed to himself.
As he was about to arrive at the entrance of Lin's Anji Yuan, Qu Wuming suddenly felt that something was not right in Anji Yuan today.
It was so quiet inside the long courtyard wall.
In the old days of Anjiyuan, there were retired sergeants who were not seriously disabled guarding the door. Not far after entering the hospital was the school for the orphans. At this time, the sound of reading loudly could be heard from inside. On the other side of the school is the workshop run by Lin's Anji Yuan. It is normal for there to be noisy people and tools at this time.
However, at this time, the disabled sergeant guarding the door in the distance seemed to be sleeping soundly in his guard box, while there was no sound in the courtyard.
Qu Wuming couldn't help but frown, and his pace quickened a lot. The huge power of spiritual consciousness surged out and extended across the courtyard wall into the courtyard, but soon hit a layer of restriction.
"Who dares to make trouble here?!" Qu Wuming jumped over the courtyard wall and looked inside the nursing home. In the schools and workshops, both the children in class and the adults working in the workshops were all swaying around and sleeping soundly. No casualties were found at all, which somewhat reassured Qu Wuming.
Looking at the protective restriction covering a small part of the backyard of Anjiyuan, only the dean and deputy dean have the authority to open it. However, there does not seem to be any traces of fighting in the restriction, but there are some faint traces. You can still see sleeping people everywhere in the houses.
Qu Wuming thought, and a token flew out of the storage ring. A white light shot out from the token and hit the restriction. A passage for two people to enter and exit immediately appeared on the restriction.
When Qu Wuming stepped in, the passage swayed with light and became complete again.
Qu Wuming's power of spiritual consciousness spread around, and soon he discovered the most unusual place in Anji Courtyard. After thinking about it for a while, Qu Wuming took out a gray cloak and put it on his body. His breath was completely hidden under the cloak, and then he quietly escaped towards the back of Anjiyuan.
There is a small independent building in the backyard of Anjiyuan, about two stories high, and surrounded by a separate tall wall. This is where Anjiyuan stores important items such as rice, property, and account books. On weekdays, there are several sergeants with mild disabilities patrolling and guarding it. Near the small building, there is a powerful formation restriction set up by Qu Wuming. Once activated, , even the monks at the peak of the Divine Transformation Stage cannot easily break it.
After all, this is Snow City, the first line of resistance against monsters. Qu Wuming set up such a powerful restriction earlier to give people here a place to temporarily escape and hide in extreme situations. Unexpectedly, now he is in Snow City. It was used when the city was safe...
