Chapter 80 Donkey Grave

Liancheng, by the Liuyue Lake.

The Lian family is the most famous immortal cultivation family in Liancheng, and immortals often come and go in the mansion. Therefore, the people of Liancheng have long been accustomed to seeing immortals flying over their heads.

He even got used to it and mastered the new skill of feeling the pressure and cultivation of immortals.

On this day, people were walking, working, drinking tea and chatting in the city as usual. From afar, they felt the pressure from the immortal again.

"The one with the most intimidating pressure last time was a Jindan-stage cultivator. When the immortal came down, Lao Liu from next door was the closest to him. He was so frightened that his legs went limp and he couldn't get up for a long time."

"This time we were so far away that even the horses and donkeys in the shed started to get agitated. Especially the donkey, which was so scared that it kicked its hooves. I was also very excited... How high of a level must the immortal be this time?"

All the people looked up in awe, hoping to catch a glimpse of the immortal coming from the auspicious clouds.

Some even began to kneel down and pray for good fortune: "Immortal, oh immortal, please bless me to pass the provincial examination and become a juren!"

Kneeling down to seek blessings from the immortals is a local custom. Several people except him also began to make wishes, until the person who knelt down first looked up and opened his eyes, and happened to see the immortal coming in a chariot from the red sun.

"Old Chiang, have you seen the immortal clearly? What is he like?" someone asked him.

The man who was halfway through his worship froze in mid-air: "Donkey..."

……?

That person: "Is that thing... a donkey?"

…

The donkey cart crashed in the northern suburbs of Liancheng. Fortunately, Qi Miancheng cast magic in time and no one was injured.

Two talisman cultivators from Yinbing Pavilion crawled out in a panic from the wreckage of the carriage.

The hair-bun Fu Xiu said, "How did you draw the talisman? Why can't this donkey stop? How do you write the stopping condition?"

Mawei Fuxiu said, "That shouldn't be the case. It must be because the spiritual energy in the air is too thin and the spiritual energy network is unstable... By the way, where's the donkey? How's the donkey?"

"Dead." Someone said.

The two talisman cultivators looked up at the same time and saw Ning Mingmei standing beside them with his arms folded. Ning Mingmei stared at the two donkeys that died in a miserable state. His glasses reflected the light and his lips were pursed more tightly than ever before.

Two Fu Xiu: ...

Hair Bun Fu Xiu: "What! This is the donkey we bought for ten spirit stones! I see it works so well, I plan to continue using it later."

If the donkey can fly, who cares how it flies?

Mawei Fu Xiu was more pragmatic. He came up and touched the donkey's body: "It's still hot. It looks like it was just killed by the fall, not by the talisman."

If they were killed by the talisman, they would have to write an error report to the Pavilion Master after returning to Qingji Sect.

Ning Mingmei: "Look at its twisted neck and say it again."

The heat on the donkey's body is probably the friction heat caused by twisting its neck.

The two talisman cultivators were speechless for a moment. Ning Mingmei suddenly raised his hand to cover his mouth, relying entirely on reflective glasses to conceal his expression.

For many years, Qingji Sect and Yinbing Pavilion have been friendly cooperative units. Qi Miancheng saw the two juniors were frustrated and said gently, "Don't worry. When we were in the air, I found that the donkey had been dead for a long time. It brought us to Liancheng just by relying on its neck. Now you can lift its body up, put it on the cart and stick the talisman on it. I think it can continue to pull the cart before it rots."

…What kind of hell drawing is this.

Ning Mingmei covered her lips again as she looked at the hell drawing in front of her that would definitely receive complaints from both animal protection organizations and the Experimental Ethics Committee. The two Fu Xiu were still asking eagerly: "What should we do now?"

Ning Mingmei: "Build a grave, bury them, and erect a monument on the grave to thank them for their contributions to science. And give them a bouquet of flowers."

Two Fu Xiu: "...Is this the way?"

Ning Mingmei: "Dig a bigger grave. I guess you will have to bury a lot of donkeys and mice in it in the future."

The two talisman practitioners went to dig the grave with great effort. Ning Mingmei walked into the jungle alone.

Holding onto the tree.

The system said: "I thought you would ask them to rip off the donkey meat and make donkey meat BBQ."

This is consistent with its understanding of Ning Mingmei.

Ning Mingmei said, "I'm not in the mood. I think I know why they're in the Great Wilderness with the Ice Drinking Pavilion."

Minghua Valley would only test the medicine on mortals. If the Yinbing Pavilion were placed in a prosperous town, how many Cthulhu horror incidents would occur.

Seeing that he had his back to everyone, Qi Miancheng frowned and walked over: "Brother, are you sad about the donkey?"

This was inconsistent with his understanding of Ning Mingmei.

Or did Ning Mingmei think that two donkeys for ten spirit stones were too expensive?

Does Ning Mingmei like these two talisman cultivators so much? As soon as they met, he started to travel together, cared about the details of his spells, taught him how to improve, and invited him to return to Qingji Sect. Now, even though the other party had spent ten spirit stones, he felt very distressed.

Looking at himself, Qi Miancheng is seen by everyone as the bright and shining leader of the Qingji Sect and the light of the world of immortal cultivation. He also gave Ning Mingmei a lot of things, including a magic sword that was broken by the Demon Lord Jiang Duo.

That magic sword is a valuable item worth millions. But when it finally broke, Ning Mingmei didn't even blink.

If we are equally stingy with money, why not treat us equally?

Qi Mianchengli actually had a subtle feeling similar to jealousy. His face remained calm and steady, and he only said: "Junior brother..."

Then he saw Ning Mingmei looking at him steadily and vomited.

Qi Miancheng: ...

He looked suspiciously at his arm, which had been bitten and had not yet healed, and touched his face.

He is considered a highly respected patriarch in the Qingji Sect and the world of immortal cultivation. In Ning Mingmei's eyes, is he so disgusting?

Ning Mingmei fainted and vomited all over the jungle. In the end, he had to be helped out by Qi Miancheng.

The grave mound has taken shape. The two talisman practitioners even picked two large bags of dogtail grass for the two donkeys.

The dogtail grass stands on the grave, swaying in the wind, very charming.

The two talisman cultivators then looked at the two men: "We are now..."

At this time, they saw a team coming from a distance.

The visitors were dressed in uniform blue and black robes and rode tall horses. A family flag was flying in the team, with the word "Lian" written in a flamboyant style.

The Lian family of Liuyue Lake.

These people look like they are used to being domineering in their daily lives. Mawei Fu Xiu only took one look at them and felt uncomfortable.

But they actually came straight towards them with a humble attitude.

"After hearing the discussion among the people in the city, we guessed that you were here. Now it seems that it is true." The middle-aged man in the lead said, "Master Qi, you must have traveled a long way. We specially sent a car to meet you."

He looked two years older than Qi Miancheng, but he acted modestly in front of this "younger guy": "Are these people with Sect Leader Qi?"

Qi Miancheng said: "Thank you for coming to pick me up. This is my junior fellow apprentice, and these two are two talisman cultivators from Yinbing Pavilion."

Qi Miancheng's attitude could definitely not be described as impolite "indifferent". He was still gentle, amiable, and as bright and clear as the Master Qi.

The two talisman cultivators were flattered and gave their names one after another.

Ma Wei Fu Xiu said: "My name is Ling Yuan."

Fu Xiu with a bun said, "My name is Wei Xi."

The middle-aged man greeted them in the same friendly manner, and then he looked at the newly built grave mound next to him.

A few bunches of foxtail grass were inserted on the grave like burning incense, swaying in the wind, which could be called a disco on the grave.

Qi Miancheng said: "This is a companion who helped us a lot along the way."

The middle-aged man had already learned about the attack from other disciples who had arrived earlier. Hearing this, he automatically completed the plot in his mind.

"My condolences." He said sadly.

The two talisman cultivators looked at each other and felt sad for their ten spirit stones.

Several people followed the Lian family and mounted their horses. Ning Mingmei rejected Qi Miancheng's invitation to ride together and got on a horse alone.

Qi Miancheng then told the middle-aged man: "Let's walk slower."

His expression was caring, but his palms were opening and closing.

Just now, Ning Mingmei leaned on him, but because of his weak body, he didn't struggle at all, just like a cat taking a nap.

This gave him the illusion that "Ning Mingmei was completely defenseless" for a moment. Moreover, Ning Mingmei did not rely on those two talisman cultivators.

Qi Miancheng mounted the horse and closed his palms before holding the reins.

That warm and soft body temperature is still burning in my palm.

…

“Master!”

"You are finally here!"

Liancheng is much larger and more prosperous than Yecheng. As the group walked along, they had already attracted the attention of people from all over the city. I guess the next day, their news will be everywhere on the streets.

Or it could be said that the Lian family did it on purpose - they wanted everyone in the city to know that two Qingji Sect monks in the Spirit Transformation Stage had visited the Lian family.

Despite this, after seeing the disciples coming to greet him at the Lian family's door, Ning Mingmei's pale face due to dizziness finally looked much better.

Not only Ning Mingmei's disciples came out to greet them, but also Qi Miancheng's disciples.

Qi Miancheng only brought two disciples this time - this surprised Ning Mingmei a little.

So far, he was not entirely clear about Qi Miancheng's intention of coming to the Lian family. However, Qi Miancheng, as the leader of the Qingji Sect, traveled so lightly. I think it must be some personal matter.

Not only the Lian family members came to greet them, but also several Jindan cultivators. They were probably the immortal masters invited by the Lian family to teach the disciples.

As a regular professor of the Qingji Sect, Ning Mingmei only glanced at these temporary workers who were doing teaching and training, and did not respond.

Private education and training will fail sooner or later.

The head of the Lian family was a middle-aged man with great energy. As soon as he saw Qi Miancheng, he started to show concern for him, with no sense of boundaries at all, as if Qi Miancheng was his long-lost grandson.

"My fellow apprentice and I have been on a long journey and are now exhausted. If there is anything, let's talk about it at the dinner." Qi Miancheng spoke gently, with the demeanor of a gentleman.

Upon hearing this, the head of the Lian family said, "Yes. We must give you a good welcome tonight. I heard that you have encountered a lot of things along the way. If there is anything that the Lian family can help with, please feel free to ask."

"The head of the Lian family is joking."

Qi Miancheng just smiled and did not answer. But the title of "Master Lian" clearly separated him from this family.

Ning Mingmei still felt a little nauseous. He looked at the huge crowd of people from the Lian family and the elders who were showing their dissatisfaction because they sensed Qi Miancheng's alienating intentions, and felt that there was something fishy going on here.

The Lian family served them very wholeheartedly and even set up a villa for them to live in.

The Lian family is indeed a large family with wealthy ancestors. Even the Yedi Palace cannot compare to the grandeur of this villa, which is suitable for receiving imperial concubines.

The servant of the Lian family who led the way was not as perceptive as the attendants of the palace. He brings people to a place but doesn't take the initiative to go down. He didn't leave until Eleven came over and said a few words to him.

"The Lian family is really overbearing," Eleven complained.

The fact that even Eleven started to complain shows that the Lian family has been causing trouble these days.

"After all, he is the emperor of Liancheng." Ning Ming said gloomily.

He leaned back on the couch, his stomach still churning. Seeing several disciples about to ask questions, Ning Mingmei took the initiative.

"Tell me about what happened these past few days."

Eleven then served as a representative and made this impromptu report.

Ning Mingmei and the demon cultivator fought so fiercely that the mountains collapsed and the earth shook. Ten disciples hid together under the command of Gui Ruoxue. Before they met Qi Miancheng's two disciples and ran towards Liancheng, they even checked the situation in Yecheng.

The main reason is "being too angry".

We said we were just here to get rid of a ghost, so how come two powerful demon cultivators showed up in the end? What on earth are you doing here? You're just lying about military intelligence.

The idea of ​​going back to question was proposed by the two disciples from Yuting Peak. Gui Ruoxue was also a vengeful person, so she turned a blind eye and went with them.

Ning Mingmei asked: "What's the situation?"

Eleven gave him an unexpected answer: "Deputy City Lord Qin is dead. He didn't die from a natural disaster."

He committed suicide by taking poison.

Ning Mingmei: "Committed suicide by taking poison?"

Would someone like Deputy City Lord Qin commit suicide by taking poison? This is a bit strange.

Eleven said, "Yes. When we saw him, he was already dead. Later, we met the master again. He was seriously injured and about to die. So we told him the whole story."

Ning Mingmei: "What did he say?"

Eleven: "He said, 'It was indeed caused by the demon cultivator.' We talked about the past and Hua Xu Meng Yin, but he only admitted this sentence in the end. He said that the prescription was brought by the demon cultivator, and the mine was deformed because the demon cultivator was sealed. He still believes that they are not at fault at all."

The most difficult thing for humans to do is to examine the mistakes they make due to stupidity without any bias. To this end, they always like to create imaginary enemies and blame their own stupidity on enemies who are not on the same side as them.

Eleven: "Then...we took a few more people with us."

One was Wu Yun, who was under Ning Mingmei's command, and the other was Hu Yang, the mechanic in the cave.

Hu Yang was seriously injured because of the curse. He Zheng, who had dealt with him before, felt sorry for him and persuaded other disciples to take him away with them.

Ning Mingmei was fighting too intensely that day and had no time to arrange Hu Yang's affairs. Now that Huyang has been taken away, it is a pleasant surprise.

"How is he now?"

"I was injured a little, but fortunately, I can get up now..." Eleven hesitated, "It's just..."

Ning Mingmei nodded. He turned the lid of the teacup in his hand and his eyes drifted.

Finally, he asked the question: "What about the kid?"

Eleven said, "He was seriously injured. Master, it's all my fault. Ah Yue told me at the beginning that he felt something was wrong with the people outside. I should have gone to check it out earlier."

He frowned, as if he was completely overwhelmed by guilt. Several disciples behind him also showed similar expressions.

Now it was Ning Mingmei who was surprised: "Did he warn you that there would be danger?"

Eleven said, "Yes."

It is normal to remind these disciples that there may be danger. But knowing that there was danger, he still went into the cave to investigate the fight, which was not in line with Lian Chengyue's gloomy character.

Ning Mingmei asked a few disciples to go down and called Gui Ruoxue in.

Gui Ruoxue had long black hair and looked at him with a gloomy look.

Apparently, these few days of wearing women's clothes and taking care of children had made his mood reach a new level.

But after seeing Ning Mingmei's current condition, he frowned: "What did you do? Why are you so badly injured? Who did it?"

Ning Mingmei: "I am very pleased that you care about me."

Gui Ruoxue: "Tsk...! I just want to know who is so powerful that he could beat you so badly."

"Jiang Duo." Ning Mingmei spat out these two words, not caring whether Gui Ruoxue knew this person or not, "How is Ah Yue?"

Gui Ruoxue: "Not very good. He is lucky to be alive. This child has a very special physique."

"Really?" Ning Mingmei said, "I'll go see him."
