Chapter 143
Two figures walked slowly outside Fengyu Mountain. Their temperament was otherworldly, not like people in this world.
These two people are Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan.
Because of the foundation-building vision a few days ago, ordinary people from a hundred miles away were attracted to Fengyu Mountain to search for immortal traces. As a result, the number of ordinary people in Fengyu Mountain increased, and Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan's purpose of escaping from the world was also disrupted, so they had to Leave Fengyu Mountain.
Zhao Ning originally wanted to hide in a mountain, but Qin Keyuan said that it would be better to hide in the world than to hide in the mountain. Zhao Ning happened to have built a foundation, and his condition had improved and he could walk in the world. He also took the opportunity to help Zhao Ning slay mortals and build a foundation. Go one step further.
Zhao Ning naturally followed Qin Keyuan's arrangements, but before leaving, Zhao Ning took out the treasure map of the old monster Yin.
Walking on the road, Zhao Ning unfolded the cloth, and it turned out to be a treasure map. There was an introduction in small vertical characters next to the treasure map. Zhao Ning was a little surprised when he saw what was said on it.
"The treasure pointed to by this treasure map is actually a cornucopia." Zhao Ning turned around and asked Qin Keyuan, "This is a legendary spiritual treasure. How could it appear in the world? Or is it just another thing that ordinary people named after legends?"
Qin Keyuan took a look at the treasure map and said, "If you take a look at it, you will know whether it is true or false."
Zhao Ning nodded, originally they had no purpose in walking in the ordinary world, so it didn't matter if they followed the direction of the treasure map.
The location recorded on the treasure map was in the mountains outside Yuexiu Mansion, the capital of Dayue Kingdom. Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan were not in a hurry, so they walked around and took a look, as if they were touring the mountains and rivers.
At dusk that day, Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan walked into the mountains. They originally planned to wait until late at night and then go directly with their swords.
But I didn't want to be stopped by someone as soon as I walked outside the mountain and passed by a house outside the mountain.
The old woman stood outside the courtyard door as if waiting for someone. When she saw them walking into the mountains, she shouted, "It's getting dark. There are many wolves and beasts in the mountains, but don't go into the mountains in danger. Come back soon."
The old woman was sincere and the care she showed when calling them was touching. Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan looked at each other, and then they took two steps towards the small courtyard.
The old woman trotted up to them, Zhao Ning crossed her hands and saluted her. The old woman returned the cross-hand salute unskilledly, and said breathlessly, "You must go over this mountain to Yongfeng City. A lot of ferocious beasts have migrated to this mountain recently, so we can’t move alone at night, it’s too dangerous.”
She said with concern, "If you have no place to go, just stay at the old woman's house for one night and go in with the people passing by tomorrow."
The old lady is so enthusiastic and caring from the bottom of her heart, which is really hard to resist. They are here to join the world, and they don't want to cause anything like the Fairy Trail in Fengyu Mountain again. Zhao Ning looked at Qin Keyuan hesitantly, and Qin Keyuan nodded slightly.
Zhao Ning crossed her hands and thanked her, "Then I won't bother my mother-in-law."
A smile appeared on the old woman's wrinkled face, and she grabbed Zhao Ning's arm and tried to move in. "It's good to be obedient. You are still young and the girl is so beautiful. What if someone covets you on the road?" That’s right, even if you two are traveling together, you are still no match for the hordes of bandits and bandits.”
She paused, glanced at Qin Keyuan behind her, and whispered, "Don't be reckless, and your husband looks a bit sickly."
Zhao Ning was startled and said with a smile, "Mother-in-law admitted her mistake, Qin..."
"If it's not your husband, then it's your brother." When the old woman admitted her mistake, she interrupted Zhao Ning's introduction in an awkward and panicky manner.
Zhao Ning looked back in shock, and Qin Keyuan followed calmly, not caring about admitting his mistake again.
Zhao Ning always talked little, so he stopped correcting him. Anyway, Uncle Qin did not look like someone of his seniority.
"Thank you for your concern, mother-in-law. My eldest brother and I haven't traveled far for a long time, so we have been a bit reckless. My name is Lin Ying, and this is my eldest brother..." Zhao Ning paused slightly, and Qin Keyuan took it instantly, "Lin Yuan."
Zhao Ning asked the old woman, "How do you call me mother-in-law?"
The old woman smiled and said, "I just live in the mountains, old woman. You can just call me Granny Zhang."
She brought Zhao Ning and the two of them to the small house on the side of the courtyard, opened the door, and saw that the house was simple, with a bed, a couch, a cabinet, a set of tables and chairs, "My mother-in-law's house is simple and there are few rooms, so you will stay in this room." Let’s spend one night.”
Probably because of their names, Granny Zhang thought that the two were biological siblings. She thought that there would be no need to avoid suspicion for one night, so she let Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan live in the same room. However, Zhao Ning was used to it, and she had escaped from the world in Fengyu Mountain for three years. , most of them are relatively meditating and have no idea of sleeping.
He nodded and said, "Thank you Granny Zhang for the arrangement."
"You haven't eaten yet. I happened to have some hot buns on the pot. I'll bring you some." Granny Zhang turned around and was about to go, but Zhao Ning stopped her and said, "Don't bother me anymore. We brought dry food. My mother-in-law is outside the hospital. You're standing here, waiting for people to go home, so there's no need to open the pot to let out the heat for us."
"How good is this..." Granny Zhang hesitated, and Zhao Ning added, "We are lucky to have her stay overnight, but we are embarrassed to have to take care of her so much."
Granny Zhang waved her hand, "Hey, it's okay. My eldest son is not at home during the day, so he just wanted to say a few words to the tourists passing by. I am happy with that."
However, Granny Zhang is also considerate, "However, if you are not used to it, I won't disturb you anymore. It's getting late, so go to bed early."
Seeing Granny Zhang going to the courtyard gate, she asked, "Do you still want to wait for someone?"
She waved her hand carelessly, "Don't worry about me. It's time. My eldest son should be back today."
She just sat on the small chair at the entrance of the courtyard, holding a fan and swaying and staring at the road leading here, which must be the heart of every parent in the world.
Zhao Ning stopped disturbing her, entered the small house with Qin Keyuan, and closed the door.
Qin Keyuan sat on the couch and coughed slightly.
Zhao Ning was a little nervous and walked over to check Qin Keyuan's pulse, "Uncle Qin, why are you still coughing?"
"It's okay." Qin Keyuan comforted her.
But Zhao Ning found out after looking into it, "Although the Nine-turn Jade Liquid Great Return Pill reversed the collapse of the Golden Pill, the cold poison recurred and was not eliminated."
Saying that, Zhao Ning wanted to try her medical skills again, but Qin Keyuan stopped her, "Since I can suppress the cold poison when I form the golden elixir, after the ninth turn of the golden elixir, I can condense the golden elixir again, and naturally I can also suppress the cold poison." .”
Zhao Ning looked at him and felt extremely sad when she saw that he was so pale that even an ordinary old woman could tell he was weak.
Qin Keyuan lowered his head slightly and looked closer, "Why do you look like you're crying again? Our little fairy Zhao Ning has always been cold and cold, why did she turn into a crying dumpling?"
When Zhao Ning saw Qin Keyuan teasing her, she pursed her lips and murmured, "Uncle Qin..."
Qin Keyuan smiled and said, "If you didn't call me big brother just now, why are you calling me back now?"
He stroked the top of Zhao Ning's hair and said, "Qingxiao Sect can't go back for the time being. In the world, we still refer to each other as brother and sister of the Lin family."
"Okay." Zhao Ning responded.
After a while, the two of them were as usual. Qin Keyuan sat cross-legged on the couch, holding Ziwu inside, closing his eyes and regulating his breath. Zhao Ning sat on one side, passing the true energy into his body, slowly speeding up the condensation of Qin Keyuan's golden elixir and jade liquid. speed.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was a noise outside the courtyard.
Granny Zhang, who was originally kind, was yelling, "Look at how bad you are, but you are wandering around the town again. You promised to come back before dawn. What time is it? I'll beat you to death for this homeless boy."
"Ouch, oh, mother, mother, don't fight. I really didn't go play around today. I just had something to do."
Listening to the voice, it should be that Granny Zhang's son has returned. Granny Zhang is kind to others, but has a bad temper towards her own children.
"But I really didn't lie to you, mother. I'm telling you, if you continue to wander around, you will never get a wife in this life."
The Zhang family's son muttered, "I don't want to marry a wife now, I want to be a god."
When Granny Zhang heard this, she thought it was okay. The thin bamboo pole hit her son harder, and the Zhang family's son screamed in more pain, begging for mercy again and again.
During this period, I caught a glimpse of a candle burning in the hut, and while running away from the bamboo pole, I asked, "Mom, are you taking in people passing by again?! What if I get deceived again?!"
Granny Zhang seemed to remember that there were Lin brothers and sisters living in the courtyard, so she should not disturb them and let them read the joke, so she put away the bamboo pole and said, "No, these two brothers and sisters seem to have extraordinary temperament and should be good people."
"You can't tell anything from the appearance. Just wait and I'll take a look."
Hearing the footsteps coming towards the hut, Zhao Ning calmed down and opened her eyes. She got off the bed, walked to the door and opened it. The Zhang family's son happened to walk under the eaves.
Seeing Zhao Ning's appearance, the Zhang family's son was so stunned that his eyes almost fell off.
The Zhang family's son looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old. He was wearing coarse cloth clothes with half-rolled sleeves, some sawdust on the hem, and deep calluses on the palms of his hands. He must be a carpenter's apprentice in the town.
Zhao Ning crossed her hands and saluted, "I've met Master Zhang. My brother and sister are staying the night. Sorry to bother you."
"No, no, no." The son of the Zhang family immediately blushed, "It doesn't matter, you can live wherever you like, don't disturb me, don't disturb me. Oh, oh, I'm not a young man, I'm just a carpenter. My name is Zhang Jiu."
"Lin Ying, inside is my brother Lin Yuan."
Zhang Jiu glanced inside and his eyes lit up when he saw Qin Keyuan adjusting his breath, "Are you also a believer in Zhengyang Guan?"
Zhao Ning was slightly puzzled, but she didn't explain much. At this moment, Granny Zhang stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Jiu's ears, and lifted him aside, "Zhengyang Guan, Zhengyang Guan, that's He is a liar Taoist, and he talks about being a god, why doesn’t he become a god himself?!”
Zhao Ning thought for a moment, could it be that Zhengyang Temple is an agency established by some sect in the world?
Granny Zhang cursed a few times, kicked her son, and told him to go eat. She apologized to Zhao Ning again, "I disturbed your brother and sister's rest."
Zhao Ning shook her head, "It's time we came out earlier to say hello."
Granny Zhang glanced inside, and she pulled Zhao Ning aside and said, "Is it possible that your brother should also learn the Zhengyang Temple and practice the Immortal-breaking Technique? If he can't learn it, then he is a liar. I heard that Yongfeng In the city, many wealthy people have learned this, and as a result, they have become garrulous and can hardly speak."
"Is there such a thing?"
"This has spread throughout the villages ten miles away." Granny Zhang persuaded Zhao Ning earnestly, "Go back and persuade your brother. Look at him. He is so tall and handsome, but so weak. He must be a cultivator of the broken immortal. The technique is making trouble."
Zhao Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she could only pretend to accept it.
Only then was Granny Zhang satisfied, "Go and have a rest. I'm going to look after my eldest son."
"Mother-in-law, sleep in peace."
"Hey!" Granny Zhang responded and strode to the main room. This step was much happier than before when Zhang Jiu was not at home. Although she beat and scolded her son as soon as he came home, her actions had already shown her mood at the moment.
Zhao Ning returned to the hut and closed the door again.
She sat back down next to Qin Keyuan. Qin Keyuan opened his eyes and met Zhao Ning's gaze.
"There is no such thing as Zhengyang Guan in the ordinary offices of various sects in Kyushu."
Zhao Ning frowned inconspicuously, "Is it possible that it was set up by some loose cultivator, or worse, someone deceived it?"
Qin Keyuan didn't answer. Zhao Ning thought about it and became discouraged again, "Everyone in the world has their destiny, so we don't care."
Qin Keyuan looked at her, smiled and said "Okay".
The next morning, Granny Zhang got up very early and was busy. There was only a little smoke from the kitchen and the fragrance of rice was overflowing.
Zhang Da ran to knock on the door of the hut.
Qin Keyuan and Zhao Ning stopped practicing. Zhao Ning opened the door and saw Zhang Jiuda blushing again.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Jiu said embarrassedly, "Oh, my mother made a lot of steamed buns and rice porridge and pickles this morning. If you don't mind, come and eat some."
Saying this, it is naturally difficult to refuse.
Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan followed Zhang Jiu into the main room. The food on the Eight Immortals' table was not rich, but there was a lot of it.
Granny Zhang came in with a basket of big cakes and greeted Zhao Ning and the others, "You're welcome, eat more."
As she said this, she handed Zhao Ning a big cake. The outside of the cake was browned, so Zhao Ning thanked her and tore half of it to Qin Keyuan.
Even though they have been inedged, ordinary food can still be eaten, but the impurities in it need to be eliminated through exercise.
Zhao Ning hadn't eaten ordinary food for a long time, and smelling the fragrance reminded her of her previous life in the ordinary world.
Qin Keyuan did not grow up in the ordinary world, and he had never been exposed to ordinary food, but he ate half of the pie naturally.
