Outside Wushen City in the early morning.
"Little Master Jiang, this way." Seeing Jiang Yun walking out of the city gate, Master Meng waved gently. The five children under the door were very enthusiastic. The shouts of Little Master Jiang attracted many people around him who were entering the city. Stunned for a while.
Jiang Yun smiled at the five children and walked back.
"You guys came out early."
Today I planned to go to Xiaopuppet Gate to pick up some good wood and stones. I like carving in my spare time, so it wouldn’t hurt to buy some of these things.
I originally planned to go shopping with the two girls, but Liu Jing suddenly visited last night and took the two girls shopping this morning. Jiang Yun was left alone, but he was happy and at ease. Shopping with a woman was still more troublesome than practicing cultivation.
As for safety issues, he is not worried.
There is also a corpse of a top golden elixir lying in the storage bracelet. It is really unbeatable. The bloody figure in the sea of consciousness can immediately take charge and turn into a blood elixir.
"Keep your voices down, you brats." Head Meng laughed and scolded the chirping children, and then said to Jiang Yun in a friendly manner, "Little Master Jiang, just tell me, we can just run over and deliver it to the shop for you. You We still have to go in person, so I’ll have to trouble you to make an extra trip.”
"It's okay, I just have time today." Jiang Yun waved his hand, "If you don't mind, Master Meng, just call me Fellow Daoist Jiang. Master Jiang sounds a little..."
"Oh!" Leader Meng hurriedly changed his words, "If Fellow Daoist Jiang is ready, can we set off now?"
"How long does it take to arrive?" Jiang Yun asked.
"If you want to fly, it should take one stick of incense. Our mountain gate is close to the edge of the Haoyue Mountains. There is no way. The places around Wushen City are occupied by larger sects, so we can't grab the space. If the delivery volume is usually large, we will Using a beast cart, it takes half a day to get to Wushen City; when the weight was small, I brought it here by myself, and it took just a stick of incense." Head Meng did not hide it, and said awkwardly with a smile.
"This time I took the five of them around for a long time and brought them out to see the world. Master Lin is very kind to the five boys and asked them to take them for a good tour of the city last night."
"Head Meng is quite fond of these children."
While speaking, Jiang Yun waved his hand and opened the seven-square fan, and the firebird formation manifested as a firebird, standing beside him with a heroic appearance.
"Wow!"
The five children immediately looked at the firebird with envy. One by one they gathered around and wanted to reach out and touch it but didn't dare.
"You brats, don't be so careless and embarrassing, come here quickly." Head Meng looked a little shy and angry. He drank lightly while taking out a small square piece of wood from the storage device.
Jiang Yun looked curiously and saw cracks starting to appear on the small pieces of wood. When the wooden boards stretched out, he realized that it was a mechanism wood.
Sure enough, the wooden structure quickly unfolded and turned into a large wooden eagle.
The five children jumped up obediently and squeezed onto the wooden eagle very skillfully, just enough to sit on it.
"These children are from poor families in the surrounding villages. Their families don't have money for them to go out to work, but they don't want to go to the city. They say that there are too many bad bosses in the city. Those adults who feel that they have the strength to work are not doing anything, so they go to the mountains to ask for help. I asked these children to find a way out, and my sect happened to be recruiting people, leaving only a few who can endure hardships." Head Meng's eyes were full of satisfaction and doting on the five children, "Everyone is a disobedient monkey. , sometimes the noise makes my head hurt.”
"Hehe, you are Fei Monkey."
"We are all monkeys."
The five children heard Leader Meng joking and teased each other.
"Let's go." Jiang Yun smiled. He hadn't seen such a harmonious and warm scene for a long time.
Because the wooden eagle could not sit down, Master Meng flew next to the wooden eagle, and the wooden eagle soared into the sky.
"Wuhu, take off!"
Two of the children were particularly boisterous and always full of energy.
"My Firebird can accommodate two children. Why don't you two come over and sit with me?" Seeing that Master Meng was planning to fly all the way there, Jiang Yun thought for a while and decided to invite the five children over. Sit alone.
"Me me me!"
"Master Xiao Jiang, choose me."
The two most noisy children started to raise their hands again, but Jiang Yun laughed and said nothing. The sensible leader Meng immediately shouted, "You should not make such a noise with fellow Taoist Jiang that his ears hurt. Liu Qing, Shu Xin, you two can go over."
Liu Qing and Shuxin are two relatively quiet teenagers, and their behavior is quite polite.
At this time, Jiang Yun took the initiative to raise his hand, and the two children were carried by the spiritual energy and landed on the back of the fire bird. Although they looked very reserved and well-behaved, their eyes were still full of curiosity and they couldn't help looking down.
Only then did Master Meng have room, so he quickly sat on the wooden eagle.
The flight became more and more remote, but fortunately, I finally saw a small hilltop. Of course, it is also very cute even if it is small. The small hilltop is surrounded by many large hilltops in the center. Not only does it not look shabby, but it actually gives the illusion of a general leading a thousand armies.
There are quite a lot of logs and huge rocks on all the mountains around here, so it’s no wonder they can do wood and stone business.
"That's right there. There is a town at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by seven or eight villages, large and small. These five little guys all come from the two villages halfway up the mountain closest to my mountain gate."
Leader Meng finally arrived at his home court and introduced him enthusiastically.
The town was very small, and the number of people coming in and out of it was even more pitiful. Here and there, some people spotted the firebirds and wooden eagles in the sky, pointing to the sky and talking about it.
"Mom, are those two Kuns?"
"No, those two are chickens. The big chickens have kidnapped the people who raised them, and now they are going to eat them. Weren't you still very distressed when our chickens were killed last month? Did mother tell you that chickens When they grow to a certain size, they must be eaten, otherwise they will capture people.”
"It's so pitiful that they were taken away."
Fortunately, the ground is quite far away from the sky, and Jiang Yun and the two are not interested in knowing what the people below are talking about. Otherwise, they would probably be speechless for a while after hearing this.
When Jiang Yun noticed a formation light barrier blocking him, he realized that the boundary of Xiaopuppet Gate had arrived.
However, this formation is very ordinary, and it is easy for him to break it now.
Leader Meng removed the formation with a wave of his hand, the two of them flew in, and the light curtain behind them opened again. Firebirds and wooden eagles flew all the way to the top of the mountain. Surprisingly, there was a large Taoist temple here.
There were several wooden and stone houses around the Taoist temple. When they heard the hawk's cry, several strong men and young men came out immediately.
"master."
The dozen or so people who came out, regardless of their age, all called Master Meng master. Obviously, this small puppet sect is not divided into three generations of disciples, inner sect and outer sect. Everyone is one family.
The two children sitting on the Firebird jumped down obediently and exchanged glances with several other teenagers.
"This is Senior Jiang."
Head Meng quickly introduced everyone, for fear that these children would talk nonsense.
After everyone saluted Jiang Yun, they hurriedly waved and said, "You are busy with your business. Fellow Taoist and I have other things to discuss."
"yes!"
The disciples responded respectfully, turned around and surrounded the five children asking questions.
"They are all children who have never seen the world, making fellow Daoist Jiang laugh." After Master Meng said this, he noticed that Jiang Yun had a strange expression, and immediately realized that the young man in front of him did not seem to be much older than those people, and was even older than some of them. Much smaller.
Then he immediately changed the topic.
"The wood and stones can be prepared for Taoist friends at any time. How about I take Taoist friends for a walk first?"
People come all the way, so you can't just throw wood and stones to others and end it. You still have to treat them well. It's a pity that there is no serious living room. After all, in the past, except for Master Meng who had a few friends, no one else came to this remote place.
After taking two steps, he pointed to a building next to him that looked like a toilet and said, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, this is our armory. There are many magic weapons on display inside, but it is smaller inside, so I won't take fellow Taoist to visit."
"Nothing." Jiang Yun naturally didn't care.
"Whoops whoops."
At this moment, a middle-aged man with a tough head and a tough head ran over, trotting along without breathing heavily. He obviously did physical work frequently and was in good physical condition.
He gave the two of them a chuckle, then opened the armory and went in.
The sun shone into the armory, and Jiang Yun glanced at it imperceptibly, and then... He quickly turned his eyes away, faced the other side, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
The next moment, the middle-aged man took out an ax for cutting down trees.
"The last ax was broken, I'll get a new one." After telling Head Meng, he waved his hand to Jiang Yun and immediately trotted away.
After taking two steps, he turned to look at Head Meng curiously, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
At this time, Head Meng's face was as red as a monkey's butt. He had just told people that this was an arsenal, and it was all filled with magic weapons. This brat came running over. Not to mention Jiang Yun, he couldn't help but blush when he saw the sickles, hoes, and axes all over the room.
"roll!"
Angrily, he quickly closed the door of the 'Armory' with his hand.
"Oh." The middle-aged man went to chop down the tree with a new axe.
"Don't be surprised, fellow Daoist Jiang, this, this doesn't count." Head Meng hurriedly pulled Jiang Yun forward, and after dozens of steps, he pointed to a wooden house that looked like a kitchen, "This is the elixir of my sect. The pavilion contains precious elixirs from my sect. Of course, these items are protected by formations, so it is not convenient for exhibition."
"Well, it doesn't matter." Jiang Yun, who was almost amused just now, did not dare to forcefully ask to visit the 'Elixir Pavilion'. Who knew what was in it.
At this moment, a young man trotted over from a distance.
Head Meng's eyebrows twitched. Seeing the young man getting closer and closer, he had an ominous premonition in his heart.
The result did not disappoint him. The young man ran over and easily opened the door of the 'Elixir Pavilion'. Jiang Yun also couldn't help but take a look, and this was the result.
"Pfft! Ahem!"
He couldn't hold it back, and immediately coughed twice to cover up his laughter.
After a few breaths, the young man ran out, holding a bag of fodder in his hand. It looked like it was fodder for cattle and sheep.
"Master, we don't have much fodder to feed the cattle, and the fertilizer for the trees has also run out. I will go down the mountain to buy some later." After the young man finished speaking, he left with the fodder on his back.
"well."
This time, Head Meng did not feel embarrassed about being exposed. He shook his head and said to Jiang Yun again, "Young man from the mountain gate, you are just kidding Daoist Jiang."
"Where." Jiang Yun hurriedly straightened his expression, but he said with great admiration, "You are a golden elixir, and you can keep cultivating in a place like this, with children, mountains, rivers and trees, how can you be poor? You have a very admirable label.”
He would not laugh at Master Meng, because he understood that if a Jindan really wanted to make money, it would be impossible for him to get down to this level.
Once the leader Meng in front of him lets out the word to join a certain family as a priest or a certain sect as an elder, he will definitely find a better way out, and there is no need to guard this hilltop.
"You must have your own reasons for persisting for decades, Master Meng. No matter what your mentality is, you are worthy of recognition."
He was very sincere when he spoke, and his gaze went straight into the heart of Master Meng, like a close friend who could talk to him from the bottom of his heart.
