The flatbread has a bland taste and is not a delicacy, but it is hot and full of fireworks.
Seeing that they only shared one piece of cake, Granny Zhang immediately said, "How can you be full? Although your brother is weak, he looks strong. My eldest son is a head shorter than your brother, so he has to eat five or six It’s a big bun with juicy meat, eat it quickly, don’t be polite to my mother-in-law.”
"Mom!" Zhang Jiu shouted dissatisfied.
Qin Keyuan raised his head and said, "Auntie, you're welcome. I'm weak and can't eat too much meat."
Granny Zhang suddenly said, "Look at Granny Zhang's eyes, then you can eat more cakes."
Granny Zhang sat across from them with a smile, then tore into a piece of cake and asked, "You are going to Yongfeng City. My eldest son is going to deliver the ingredients to the city with the master later. Why don't you go with him?" .”
Zhao Ning put down the cake, crossed her arms and saluted, "Mom, we don't know how to thank you for taking such good care of us."
"Hey, it's okay." Granny Zhang waved her hand, "It's just a small effort to say thank you. Please stop being polite. The little girl is really very polite."
After Zhao Ning sat down, she asked again, "Which master's family are you from? The world is difficult now, and it's rare to see you so polite."
Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan were silent, and listened to Granny Zhang talking alone, "I heard from people passing by that there have been frequent wars on the border recently, and I'm afraid there will be chaos."
"It won't be a mess." Zhang Jiu said nonchalantly while chewing the buns, "With Zhengyang Temple here, who dares to invade my Dayue Kingdom? The master of Zhengyang Temple is a god!"
Granny Zhang slapped Zhang Jiu on the head, "You are still thinking about Zhengyang Temple. If you go to the city this time and still think about Zhengyang Temple, I will skin you when you come back."
Zhang Jiu groaned, "Mom, don't hit me, don't hit me, there are still people watching."
After a lively breakfast, Zhang Jiu and Zhao Ning said, "My master and Niu Da will be dragging the donkey cart here around Chen time. We will wait for him here."
Zhao Ning responded with a yes, and Zhang Jiu was called by Granny Zhang to prepare some dry food. The trip to Yongfeng City was about sixty miles away, and a day's trip back and forth was too much. Zhang Jiu and the others planned to spend a day at Yongfeng City. Stay.
Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan stood at the entrance of the courtyard.
Zhao Ning said, "People in the mountains and forests are accustomed to being simple and honest. If you are determined to find immortals, we may not be able to help you at all."
Qin Keyuan responded, "It's a pity that Zhang Jiu doesn't have spiritual roots and immortality."
Zhao Ning looked at Qin Keyuan, "If we protect two points, it will interfere with their destiny."
Qin Keyuan lowered his head and said, "If you want to do it, just do it, no need to worry."
Zhao Ningyang smiled.
She looked at the two figures in the kitchen, pinched her hands with magic skills, and two spiritual lights fell silently on the two of them. This sickness and pain will be gone, and they will not be sick until their old age.
Not long after, two people came dragging a donkey cart on the road outside the door. There was a lot of wood stacked behind the donkey cart.
The first man is a middle-aged man with a short beard, and the other one is about the same size as Zhang Jiu.
Seeing the two people standing at the door of Zhang Jiu's courtyard, the middle-aged man crossed his hands and saluted, while the other young man imitated the salute in a nondescript manner.
Zhao Ning returned the gift, and the young man immediately blushed and muttered, "That must be a little fairy."
The middle-aged man slapped the young man on the back of the head angrily. He turned around and shouted into the courtyard, "Zhang Jiu, it's done, we should go."
"Oh, it's coming, it's coming." Zhang Jiu carried the baggage on his back, beckoning Zhao Ning and the others to follow him. He walked up to the middle-aged man and crossed his arms and said, "This is a guest staying at my house. My mother said she would like to share with us." Let’s go to Yongfeng City together.”
The middle-aged man frowned, and then took a serious look at Zhao Ning and Zhao Ning. Zhao Ning looked a little hesitant. Then he saw Qin Keyuan's face was pale, but he stood there with a tall body and imposing manner, so he nodded.
"My name is Niu Qian. You two can just follow the donkey cart."
The donkey cart started moving again, and Zhao Ning and the other two said goodbye to Zhang's mother-in-law. Zhang's mother-in-law waved at the door like yesterday, saying "Be careful."
Zhang Jiu waved at her nonchalantly and said he would be back soon.
Waiting until the figures disappeared in the forest, Zhang's mother-in-law returned to the courtyard, cleaned the main house, and then went to clean the hut where Zhao Ning and the others stayed last night. As soon as they entered the house, they saw a few gold leaves on the table.
She was stunned, grabbed the golden leaf and chased outside, but she could no longer see anyone standing on the road.
Fortunately, there were no other passers-by on the road at this moment, and no one saw the gold leaf in her hand. She quickly covered the gold leaf and murmured, "Good person, good person."
Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan followed the donkey cart. Zhang Jiuda was afraid that they would not adapt, so he kept following them.
But he didn't dare to talk to Qin Keyuan, so he walked on Zhao Ning's side.
"The yellow pear wood in our store is the best. Many masters in the city use our jade pear wood to make furniture."
"You guys cut this jasper wood from the mountain." No wonder Zhao Ning asked. In fact, the material of this jasper wood is something that a mortal ax cannot handle.
"Of course, our master has good skills, and it is not difficult at all to deal with these stiff jade pear trees." Zhang Jiu said proudly.
Zhao Ning glanced forward, and Niu Da turned his head happily, "Yes, this jade pear tree can only be cut if it is an heirloom from our family."
Niu Qian was so angry that he slapped the back of Niu's head again, "Why do you say everything to others?"
After being beaten, Niu Da touched the back of his head in aggrieved manner and turned back, muttering, "The little fairy is kind, feel free to tell me what's wrong."
Niu Qian wished he could roll his eyes at this stupid son on the spot.
At this time, Zhao Ning raised his head slightly and glanced at the forest, then looked at Qin Keyuan.
Qin Keyuan shook his head at her.
Zhao Ning was a little surprised, but didn't do anything more.
Soon, the donkey cart moved forward a few feet, and shouts of running and screaming were heard in the forest, "Help!"
It was the voice of a woman exclaiming. Zhao Ning had noticed it just now, but Qin Keyuan must have a deep meaning in stopping her from helping.
"What's going on!" Zhang Jiu heard the voice and rushed outside the forest in a few steps. Niu Qian and Niu Da also noticed it.
The donkey cart stopped, Niu Da jumped out of the cart, and Niu Qian stared at the forest.
After a while, an embarrassed figure rushed out of the forest.
Followed by several vicious bandits.
Zhang Jiu picked up the long stick and stepped forward. The woman who rushed out hid behind Zhang Jiu in panic, "Help me, these people want to take me to the stronghold."
"You bastard copycats dare to rob civilian girls. Do you think you have any more royal skills?" Zhang Jiu was furious and raised his stick, his posture was very bluffing.
The bandit stared at him slightly warily.
The Niu family father and son were a little timid. Niu Da simply shrank behind the ox cart. Niu Qian hesitated for a moment and took out a short ax from the donkey cart.
Zhao Ning took a look at the hatchet. The hatchet was actually made of fine gold. No wonder he was familiar with the hard jade pear wood.
Niu Qian stepped forward and said, "Those thieves, there is a new governor in Yongfeng City. The new official has been appointed with three goals. I think you don't want to alarm the government."
"Exactly." Someone in the village sneered, "Pretending, who doesn't know that the governor is going to die."
"Brothers!" he shouted, "take that little bitch back and kill these people!"
As a group of bandits charged in with machetes, the embarrassed woman screamed.
Zhang Jiu was protecting the woman with one hand, and waving a long stick with the other hand to beat in an orderly manner. Niu Qian was holding a short ax against the two bandits, but he could only use some chopping techniques. It has no effect under the body method.
Seeing this, Zhao Ning moved his fingertips, and several pebbles rose out of the air, hitting all the bandits on their chests, sending them flying away.
Zhang Jiu and others were stunned, and the bandits were even more horrified, "There are masters! Damn it!"
With that said, he ran away in a hurry.
Zhang Jiu helped the woman who fell beside him up and asked, "Is the girl okay?"
The woman lowered her head and shook her head.
Niu Qian looked around with the hatchet, and then his eyes fell on Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan, "Just now, you two..."
Zhao Ning said, "Master Niu is joking, look at us brother and sister, we are such masters."
As soon as he said this, Niu Qian hesitated. Zhao Ning looked delicate and delicate. In his opinion, it was not an exaggeration to say that she was a fairy descending to the earth, but it was not true to say that she was a martial arts master, Jiang Xianu. Looking at Qin Keyuan, although she was He is tall and tall, but with his pale face and coughing from time to time, it would be a bit difficult to just follow the donkey cart, let alone an expert.
"Then I guess there are experts secretly helping me in the forest."
Zhang Jiu brought the woman over, "Master, she said she is from Yongfeng City, why not take her on the road too."
The woman walked a few steps, crossed her arms and saluted, "Thank you so many brave men for saving me. My little girl Yao Jia'er lives on Yongfeng City East Street."
"East Street?" Niu Qian's eyes moved. The people living on East Street were either rich or noble, so he waved his hands casually, "If you bring two, you will bring with you. If you bring three, you will bring with you. Let's go on the road together."
He shouted again, "Niu Da, what are you talking about with your head down? Quickly give up your seat and let Miss Yao sit. Take good care of this girl."
Yao Jiaer panicked, "No, no, I'll just walk with these two."
She raised her eyes to look at Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan, with shyness and surprise in her eyes. She wondered why she had just noticed these two so good-looking people.
She looked up at Qin Keyuan again, if this young master could save me...
Qin Keyuan lowered his head and called softly, "Ying'er."
Zhao Ning was stunned for a moment, then when she realized what she was doing, she subconsciously grabbed Qin Keyuan's arm to explore, "But the cold poison has struck again."
But there were people watching around, and Zhao Ning couldn't cast the spell, so she could only instinctively wrap her hands around Qin Keyuan's palms, which were so cold that it seemed like frost would condense.
Seeing the two people's behavior, Yao Jia'er lowered her eyes and said in her heart, "Yao Jia'er, Yao Jia'er, what are you thinking about?"
"Miss Yao, are you okay? It's better to sit on the donkey cart." Zhang Jiu said worriedly.
Yao Jiaer whispered "Thank you" in a low voice, "I'll just follow."
The donkey cart was on the road again. Niu Da and Zhang Jiu followed Yao Jia'er on both sides. Niu Da was kicked by Niu Qian. He wanted to talk to Yao Jia'er, but he was stupid and didn't know how to speak. Instead, Zhang Jiu was allowed to smooth things over while joking. Yao Jiaer got a little closer.
Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan were behind. Zhao Ning looked at the seemingly close aura between Zhang Jiu and Yao Jiaer, and suddenly realized that this might be a marriage.
She raised her eyes to look at Qin Keyuan, asking in her eyes, "Uncle Master has been here a long time ago."
Qin Keyuan said, "The method of observing qi. In the ordinary world, some people have yin and yang in their eyes, can see life and death, and recognize ghosts. They have a little innate spiritual energy in their eyes, through which they can see the color of the breath of living beings. The method of observing qi is adapted from this." Come."
Zhao Ning blinked, "Similar to the spiritual eye technique?"
"Hand." Qin Keyuan said, Zhao Ning stretched out her palm and saw Qin Keyuan draw a rune on her palm.
Zhao Ningguanlai learned quickly. After half a cup of tea, yin and yang appeared in his eyes. He saw that the auras of Yao Jiaer and Zhang Jiu were pure, exuding a light white light. Their auras were attracting each other, and they were vaguely involved.
Looking at the Niu family's father and son, Niu Qian's aura clings to his body, glowing with a dark yellow color. Niu Da's aura is also pure, but the white light is erratic.
"The more the breath converges, the darker the color becomes, and the closer we are to death."
Zhao Ning roughly understood, and then his eyes fell on Qin Keyuan, but he couldn't see anything. There was no spiritual eye technique that could distinguish the color of mana aura.
Zhao Ning was a little disappointed, so Qin Keyuan said, "The cultivator is blessed with immortality, and after building the foundation, he cuts off all the mundane connections, so he can't see anything."
Zhao Ning didn't seem to understand, so he asked Qin Keyuan, "I haven't killed the mortal yet, what might my uncle see in me?"
Qin Keyuan paused slightly. The aura on Zhao Ning's body was very weak, but his color was pure and clear, restrained like a cocoon of new life.
Qin Keyuan shook his head.
