The old man and the young man did not notice Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan, who could hide their figures. Seeing the old man and the young man disappear into the crowd entering the town, they stopped paying attention. When they arrived at the pawn shop, the owner of the shop would tell them , the so-called pawn thing never happened.
"Is Taoist Yu Ze also here nearby?" Zhao Ning thought. Listening to what the old woman said, it happened that someone should have come to their village last night to treat the remaining effects of the epidemic.
The two of them went to look in the direction where the old man and the young boy came. Before they saw the village, they saw many sick people standing or lying on the fork between the two villages. A awning was set up in the center. , two familiar figures and a few guards were distributing soup to the villagers in the pergola.
The two people were Yu Ze and Dr. Li.
When all the villagers present got the soup and moved aside, Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan walked over.
The two of them were so busy that they didn't have time to raise their heads. "The soup is on the table. Each person has a bowl. Don't take more."
Zhao Ning reminded aloud, "Taoist Yu, Doctor Li."
The two of them were startled, and Yu Ze was even more surprised when he raised his head. He packed up his rolled-up sleeves and was about to step forward to salute, but his pale appearance made people feel a little sympathetic. Zhao Ningxu helped him up and said, "Taoist Yu What's wrong? So weak and haggard."
Doctor Li came over, crossed his hands and saluted, and then sighed and said, "Master Yu uses his own blood as medicine to relieve the symptoms of the people after the plague. In the past half month, we have visited several villages, suburbs of the city No one on the sidelines or in the remote areas has been spared, and Taoist Yu has never had a break."
Zhao Ning also sighed after hearing this, "I admire Taoist Yu for his people's heart."
However, Taoist Yu held up his hands and said, "Yu is just feeling guilty. He doesn't care about the people at all. The immortal master's words really hurt this junior."
Doctor Li has been involved in the ghost fetus Gu matter from beginning to end, and he also went on medical tours with Taoist Yu to help the people. Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan naturally guessed a little bit about their identities, so they were not too surprised by Yu Ze's address, but were just respectful. Even worse.
Most of the time, this batch of decoctions had been distributed, and the surrounding villagers had to go home to repair themselves, so they left one after another. The new batch of villagers had not yet arrived.
Zhao Ning paused, thinking for a moment, then stretched out his left hand, and a palm-sized tripod appeared in his hand. The tripod was no bigger than an incense burner when it fell on the table.
Yu Ze and Doctor Li were surprised and puzzled, "Is this?"
Zhao Ning said calmly, "Treasure basin."
Even Dr. Li, who has been treating patients and practicing medicine for many years, has heard of this name and was so surprised that he could not close his mouth. Yu Ze even said, "Is this the treasure left by that old monster Yin in Fengyu Mountain? Is there really a lifetime in this world?" Countless treasures.”
Zhao Ning pointed to the tripod and said, "You can try it."
However, Yu Ze shook his head, and Doctor Li even avoided it. Neither of them showed the slightest hint of covetousness, but were slightly frightened.
"Don't be afraid, you two. This thing doesn't have enough spiritual energy to have countless heaven-defying effects in a lifetime." After the three high-grade spiritual stones on the tripod were exploded by Zhao Ning, Zhao Ning only placed three more on them. A low-grade spiritual stone, this spiritual energy is not enough to squander it, but Zhao Ning said, "It is enough to fill some gaps in medicinal materials for you."
Yu Ze and Doctor Li looked at each other and bowed, "The immortal master is kind."
"Can't compare to the hard work of the two of you."
Yu Ze and Doctor Li were about to say something more when they felt a figure flicker out of the corner of their eye. When they looked up again, there was no trace of Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan.
Yu Ze and Doctor Li chased after me, "Master Immortal, Master Immortal, how can I return this cornucopia to you?"
But I heard a distant voice in my ear, "If we are destined to meet again in the future, I will return it. I hope you two can use it properly."
The two of them kneeled on the ground in unison, "Follow the Immortal Master's decree, and the Immortal Master will enjoy eternal blessings."
In another half month, Dayue Kingdom was on its way to Nanjing Kingdom.
Eight carriages formed a convoy, pulling a lot of goods. This was a trade convoy between the two countries. There were more than 20 people in the carriage. The owner of the carriage was a fat middle-aged man named Deng Yi, but he had no appearance. The merchant has the air of a scholar, but he is also flipping through a book in the carriage at this time. The book is a very common sermon book in Dayue Kingdom, but if a cultivator sees it, he will know that it is actually a book on how to practice things. The book of the heart.
The accompanying guard said to the carriage at the front, "Master, we are about to cross Yueshan Pass."
Deng Yi opened the curtain and took a look forward. After passing Yueshan Pass, he was out of the territory of Dayue Kingdom. However, half a mile away from the pass, he could hear the noise. This was the sound of many people leaving the pass. Waiting for release.
He raised his eyes and looked at the sky. It was already Chen time. Most people who like to travel far away would leave the customs in the morning, so that they could cross the no-man's land between the two countries and enter the neighboring country just before dark. pass.
The inspections on entry and exit have always been strict. Ever since something went wrong in the imperial city, the relationship between Dayue and Nanjing has become even more tense. This inspection on entry and exit is like peeling off a person's skin.
"There are many of us, so let's wait on the roadside and let those who are hiking far pass first."
The accompanying guards should have driven their horses to make arrangements. Deng Yi also got off the carriage and walked to the rear carriage. As soon as he got out of the carriage, he shouted, "Mr. Lin, Miss Lin, please excuse me."
Qin Keyuan opened the door curtain and found Zhao Ning sitting in the middle of the carriage, holding a brush and leaning over the case to write. He did not raise his head when he heard the sound.
"Boss Deng." Qin Keyuan responded.
Boss Deng smiled and said, "Sorry to bother you two, we are about to pass Yueshan Pass. There are many people at the pass at this time, so we will wait here for a while. The language of the book that Mr. Lin pointed out yesterday still seemed obscure to Deng. I would like to ask for some advice again.”
After Zhao Ning copied the last stroke of the ancient cloud pattern, the cloud pattern on the paper fainted instantly. The word "sky" that the ancient cloud pattern refers to failed again, but in the eyes of ordinary people, Zhao Ning was drawing a vast landscape. In the picture of the sky, just one dot of ink in the last stroke ruined the whole picture.
Deng Yi quickly apologized, "Oh, it was Deng who came by accident and disturbed Miss Lin."
Zhao Ning put the paper away and shook her head, "Boss Deng is joking. It's because I'm not good at it. The carriage is small, so it's better to communicate under a tree."
"That's it." Deng Yi nodded and called the accompanying guards to place the small case and futon in the carriage under the shade of the tree, and also prepared two pots of tea.
Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan were in front of a table. There were tea sets on the table, as well as the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that Zhao Ning had brought down. It was a little crowded.
It's not that Boss Deng is stingy, but the fact is that there are only two carriages in the fleet to carry people, and the rest have been demolished with small cases and decorations and used to pile goods.
Boss Deng was not only a scholar, but also generous. Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan were just resting on the road with a small case. Zhao Ning was writing imitating ancient cloud patterns while listening to Qin Keyuan talk about the various meanings of ancient cloud patterns. Deng Yi passed by at this time.
Probably because he felt that this move was in line with his literary aspirations, he stopped the motorcade and got out of the car for a chat. During the conversation, he was amazed at Qin Keyuan's vast knowledge. When he heard that they were also going to Nanjing Kingdom, he kindly invited them to go with him. Okay, so the carriage of the two men blended into their caravan.
After sitting down, Zhao Ning continued to immerse herself in writing her ancient cloud pattern, which was quite similar to her childhood learning of calligraphy, but it would be nice if this ancient cloud pattern was as simple as ordinary writing.
After Deng Yi offered him a cup of tea, he asked himself what he didn't understand in the Taoist book. "There is a sentence in the book, 'Wherever the eye can see, delusion begins, delusion arises in the heart, and people like the path①'. What does this mean?"
Qin Keyuan put down the tea cup and said calmly, "This sentence means that people use their eyes to see all living things, and all living things and external objects use their eyes to disturb people's emotions, and people will easily go down the wrong path. This is the so-called 'mind is born from things, dies from things, and machines In the head. ②'"
"But when you live in this world, if everything you see is false, then you are not doomed to go down a wrong path."
Deng Yi argued fiercely.
Zhao Ning raised her head and looked at him, "If you can't see clearly with your eyes, see with your heart. Your heart is strong and sincere, so why be afraid of illusions?"
Deng Yi was stunned for a moment, then returned to deep contemplation.
Zhao Ning did not disturb him, and turned to ask Qin Keyuan, "When my uncle mentioned that sentence, I remembered the latter sentence, 'If the sky is not kind, great kindness will come; if there is thunder and strong wind, everyone will be stupid. 3', what is the meaning of this sentence?" "
Qin Keyuan lowered his eyes, picked up the pen in her hand, and used her hand to write a word on the paper. This word was an ancient cloud pattern. He could vaguely identify it as meaning "Tao", but he suddenly felt that it meant "Tao". "True" meaning, but then I felt the cloud pattern in front of my eyes was inexplicably rippled, like a point of light in the darkness of the void. When I peeked at the light point, I felt the vicissitudes of the mountains and rivers.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a scream, and Zhao Ning suddenly regained consciousness. The pen in his hand lost the support of Qin Keyuan, and fell to the paper at the moment Zhao Ning regained consciousness. The ancient cloud pattern on the paper fainted again.
Zhao Ning didn't feel any regrets. She looked towards the source of the sound in the forest behind her, "What's wrong?"
Deng Yi couldn't catch his thoughts during the two men's instructions, but he immediately reacted to the scream. He stood up and took a few glances into the forest, and called the guards to explore the forest.
"Uncle Master?" Zhao Ning looked up at Qin Keyuan and was surprised to find that Qin Keyuan was frowning. This was rare. The last time he saw him frown was in Kunxu.
But Qin Keyuan looked away, and his expression returned to his usual appearance.
Zhao Ning curiously stretched out her consciousness to look, and saw a pair of ten-year-old women hiding behind rocks in the mountain spring pool dozens of feet away. Deng Yi's bodyguards on the pool had already arrived, and the two figures on the shore were The wretched man was pressed to the ground and beaten.
Seeing some women's clothes on the rocks on the shore, he paused for a moment, withdrew his consciousness and glanced at Qin Keyuan suspiciously, then raised a smirk on his lips, "Uncle Qin, what did you see?"
Qin Keyuan knew as soon as he saw her smile that she must be thinking about some random things. He put his palm on Zhao Ning's head and said, "What should Uncle Master see? Uncle Master's consciousness has been restrained."
"Oh." Zhao Ning realized that this seemed to be the case. Since refining the Tao-avoiding Pearl the day before yesterday, the Golden Core Nebula has fluctuated slightly, and his consciousness has been restrained.
Zhao Ning touched her nose. From what she saw, she saw that the woman was bathing in the pool and was disturbed by a disciple. She knew that she had almost misunderstood her uncle, so she asked in a low voice what she was confused about, "Uncle, why?" Frowning, rarely seen."
"The aura of the demon spirit." Qin Keyuan whispered, "It seems familiar."
Zhao Ning was even more surprised by this change. The aura of mortal demon spirits that Qin Keyuan could remember must be some kind of powerful monster.
At this moment, several guards came with neatly dressed women.
The woman looks very delicate, has bright eyes, white teeth, and delicate facial features. She is very cute and cute in a satin embroidered butterfly skirt.
She wasn't bothered by the episode just now. She smiled when she looked at people. She looked very good-looking, but she still had that "small frown and smile that are all enchanting④" feeling.
Even Zhao Ning had to sigh, this was a very eye-catching sight.
Everyone present, except Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan, all blushed.
Deng Yi coughed lightly to cover up his gaffe, stepped forward and crossed his hands to salute the woman, "Is the girl okay?"
The woman hurriedly replied, "It's okay. Fortunately, these brothers arrived in time."
Several guards were still a little embarrassed. One of them walked up to Deng Yi and whispered the situation in his ear. Deng Yi became even more embarrassed. He repeated "this" and "that" several times, and still said, "Little girl, This place is not far from Yueshan Pass, so it’s better to be cautious.”
At this time, the woman showed a bit of shame and anger, "I was with others and asked it to guard for me, but it slipped away without knowing where it was."
But then he was attracted by the "Yueshan Pass" mentioned by Deng Yi, "Is this the Yueshang Pass? I was just going to visit Nanjing Kingdom!"
As she spoke, she looked forward, as if she could see the road clearly and walk straight away.
Deng Yi stopped her, "Girl, are you waiting for me to go with you?"
"No, it'll catch up."
Deng Yi really didn't understand the girl's thinking, but he was still kind-hearted, "It's really inconvenient for the girl to be alone. What should I do if I meet a disciple again? We happen to be going to Nanjing Kingdom, so come with us." . Coincidentally, there is a girl named Lin who is traveling with us in our motorcade. She is of the same age as her, so we can talk together."
Hearing what Deng Yi said, the woman hesitated slightly, and Deng Yi pointed out Zhao Ning to her.
Unexpectedly, the woman looked at Zhao Ning, paused for a while, blinked a few times, slowly walked to Zhao Ning, and looked up and down again.
Zhao Ning was a little weirded out by this look, so she crossed her hands as a salute and introduced herself, "My little sister Lin Ying, this is my brother Lin Yuan. I don't know how to call the girl."
"My name is Meng Congyi." She smiled, "Sister Lin, have we met somewhere?"
Chapter 150
Zhao Ning gave her a strange look. Besides, they had concealed their true appearance at the moment, and the Taoist Bead had concealed their cultivation aura, so it was impossible for them to be old friends.
"Miss Meng, we are strangers, how could we have met before? Miss Meng must have remembered it wrong."
But Meng Congyi still tilted his head and looked at Zhao Ning, as if he must dig out Zhao Ning's appearance from his memory.
But obviously she failed, but she was not embarrassed. Instead, she stepped forward to hold Zhao Ning's arm, but Zhao Ning avoided it without leaving a trace.
Meng Congyi smiled and said, "Sister Lin, you and I hit it off like old friends. How about we go together."
Zhao Ning was stunned by her pressing posture. He took half a step back and happened to be behind Qin Keyuan.
Meng Congyi's sight was blocked by Qin Keyuan's tall body. The corners of her mouth turned down and she said pitifully, "Brother Lin, I'm not evil..."
Qin Keyuan raised his hand to make a gesture of invitation, "The people at the pass have almost left, it's time to set off."
"Sister Lin..." She tilted her head and wanted to say something to Zhao Ning, but Zhao Ning hid behind Qin Keyuan and moved to the other side. Before she saw anyone, Deng Yi reminded her, "This... Miss Meng , We really have to leave, if we don’t leave it will be almost noon, and we won’t be able to catch up with the Nanjingguo Pass.”
Meng Congyi followed the team forward with three steps and two turns.
Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan fell at the end. Zhao Ning communicated with Qin Keyuan, "I have never seen this girl before, and this girl makes me feel a little subtle, but I can't describe it."
Of course, this feeling is definitely not deja vu.
