"Brother, next time you go back to the village, you must bring a few more bunches of candied haws to Xiao Yan, remember!"
At the entrance of Canyuan Village, Wang Chu was carrying his luggage. Standing in front of him were a little girl with pigtails and a woman with her head lowered and her hair wrapped in linen.
"Haha, remember, next time brother comes back, he must bring more bunches of candied haws."
Faced with the little girl's request, Wang Chu readily agreed.
The little girl nodded with satisfaction:
"Well, Xiaoyan will come to pick you up at the entrance of the village."
Wang Chu patted Xiaoyan's head lovingly:
"Okay, then I'm leaving."
After saying that, Wang Chu turned around.
At this time, a timid voice came from behind:
"The road...slow down on the road."
Wang Chu turned his head, looked at the woman with her head lowered, and smiled slightly:
"Well, Xiaoyan, I'm sorry to trouble you."
The girl stroked her hair awkwardly:
"Don't worry, Brother Wang, I will definitely take good care of Xiaoyan."
Wang Chu nodded slightly, turned around, and warned again:
"Remember to watch Dian Niu Er. He always likes to kill pigs and doesn't know how to control himself."
The woman nodded slightly:
"OK."
Wang Chu walked along the path towards the mountain.
Soon, his figure disappeared among the mountains, leaving only a long series of shallow footprints.
The woman looked at the set of footprints, raised her head, and revealed a pretty, white face.
She was smiling, the upward arc was a bit strange, and her eyes alternated between excitement and disappointment:
"It's... great. After half a month, I finally got to talk to him."
...
Although Canyuan Village is within the jurisdiction of Lingcheng, it is still far away from Lingcheng.
If ordinary people relied on foot power alone, it would take them two or three days to reach the place.
Fortunately, Wang Chu is not an ordinary person. If he wants to, he can get there if he changes his mind.
However, Wang Chu did not do that.
He first walked in the world of ice and snow for about two hours, after admiring the beautiful scenery of the snow-capped mountains.
He just used his magical power to teleport to a remote corner outside the mausoleum city, then disappeared into the crowd and followed the crowd into the city.
When he came to the city gate, Wang Chu stopped and felt that a strong man was detecting him with his spiritual consciousness.
Looking up at the source of consciousness, Wang Chu smiled inexplicably, then continued forward and walked into the city gate.
...
Songwu County is located at the northernmost end of Darui, and Lingcheng is the northernmost city in Songwu County. Further north is the boundary of the Monster Clan.
There are generally three races in Xianxuan Continent, namely humans, demons and spirits.
The three tribes divided the continent into three regions, with humans in the middle, monsters in the north, and spirits in the west.
Among them, the human race region in the center is divided into nine states, which originally included hundreds of countries, large and small.
But now, there is only Darui.
Qianyuan, the imperial capital of Darui, is thousands of miles away from Lingcheng.
As an emperor, Jiang Cheng has never set foot here before, and now, this is the first time he has come to this northernmost city in the territory of Da Rui.
For an extremely powerful man who has gone through nine heavenly tribulations and has entered the Mahayana realm, the journey from Qianyuan to Lingcheng is only a matter of seconds.
Jiang Cheng only needed one thought to reach this place.
At this moment, he was standing on the gate of Lingcheng, looking at the snow-capped mountains and rivers outside the city gate. He would occasionally move his eyes downward to scan the flow of people on the walkway outside the city gate.
The middle-aged man who reported the news to him stood behind him.
I don’t know how long it took before the Immortal Emperor said:
"Have you found out?"
The middle-aged man shook his head:
"She was so cunning. Not only did she expand the spatial range, but she also messed up the time sequence. The time when we received the message did not match the time of the test here at all."
Jiang Cheng smiled faintly:
"It doesn't matter. Since we know he is here, we will find him sooner or later. We can use many methods to find him."
The middle-aged man said worriedly:
"I'm just afraid that he will leave the boundaries of Lingcheng."
Jiang Chengdao:
"Send people to guard the border and prohibit those who have entered the boundary of Lingcheng before from leaving the boundary of Lingcheng. It took a lot of effort to find this kid's whereabouts. I will never let him escape again!"
...
Wang Chu runs a shop in Lingcheng that mainly deals with red and white matters.
Under normal circumstances, Wang Chu would stay in Lingcheng for more than half a month, and then return to Canyuan Village at the end of the month to rest for a few days.
As for the reason for running a shop, it is for cultivation.
A trial of mind about life, death, and life.
After crossing the city gate, walk forward about five or six hundred meters from the avenue entering the city gate, then turn left, walk forward one hundred meters, then turn right and enter an alley.
The third shop from left to right, with the word "red and white" written on its door plaque, is the shop run by Wang Chu.
The store is not big, with an area of only fifty square meters.
The business of the store is not very good either. Wang Chu spends a lot of time in the store doing nothing.
But Wang Chu didn't care. The drunkard didn't care about drinking.
Taking out the key, unlocking the door, gently pushing the door open, Wang Chu walked into the store.
The first thing you see is a horizontal counter.
On the counter, there are some Qingming hangings used for memorial ceremonies, as well as some candles, lamps, and paper money.
In front of this counter, there is an old coffin, and some areas of the coffin have peeled off the paint.
On the other side of the vertical counter, there are some red cloth, clothes and embroidered shoes.
In addition, there is an erhu and a suona hanging on the wall.
Overall, red and white are arranged in rows, contradicting each other, which is quite strange.
Wang Chu just glanced at it briefly, then took out a broom from the store, walked outside the house, and started to clear the snow in front of the door.
During this time, several guests passed by in twos and threes without giving this place a second glance.
"Wipe! Wipe! Wipe!"
The broom touched and rubbed against the ground and the snow, making a pleasant sound.
Wang Chu, who was sweeping the floor with his head lowered, suddenly saw a pair of white cotton shoes in his sight.
He stopped what he was doing, looked up, and found that the owner of the cotton shoes was an extremely beautiful woman.
Her figure is exquisite and graceful, but her temperament is extremely extraordinary.
At this time, the woman smiled and said kindly:
"Brother Wang, long time no see!"
Wang Chu frowned, searched his memory for a while, and then remembered the identity of the person in front of him:
"Isn't this Liu'er! Haha, when did you come back?"
The person in front of him was Liu Cuier, the daughter of the owner of a noodle shop next to his shop.
Since Wang Chu came here to open a shop, this girl has occasionally come to Wang Chu to buy some paper money, and Wang Chu will also occasionally go to that noodle shop to eat noodles.
As time went by, the two of them became familiar with each other.
It wasn't until half a year ago that this girl worshiped at the Immortal Gate near Lingcheng that Wang Chu lost contact with her.
"Haha, I just came back yesterday."
Liu Cuier responded with a smile.
Wang Chu nodded, looked up and down and said:
"As expected of a disciple of the Immortal Sect, his temperament is just different from before."
Hearing this, Liu Cuier stroked her hair happily and said in a joking tone:
"What, now you know how to please me?"
Wang Chu nodded repeatedly and sighed:
"Hey, if I had known you were so ambitious Liu'er, I should have flattered you so much. I regret it. By the way, is it too late to make amends now?"
Liu Cuier rolled her eyes at Wang Chu:
"Of course it's too late. It's too late to regret now."
Wang Chu said in a cooperative manner:
"Really? Can't you give me a chance?"
