Chapter 59 The Fragmented Daoist 21
The two groups of people on both sides of the road were still standing in a neat row, and they continued to discuss the issue of whether to fight or not. Some people shook their heads like rattles. Yan Xia took a few glances and then retracted his head that was sticking out.
Su Wenyin smiled and patted her child's head: "Stop scaring people."
Yan Xia pouted in grievance: "I'm serious, they didn't win or lose."
Su Wenyin: "Okay, seriously, have you decided where to park tonight?"
Su Wenyin changed the previous topic in one sentence and thought about the issue of where to stay at night.
The tree house they had used in the secret realm before was quite useful and there was no problem with accommodation at night, so they did not deliberately rush to a town to stay in an inn during the day.
It is also nice to take a rest under the open air vegetation in the wilderness.
They just go and stop at random times, and there is no plan as to where to stop every night.
Yan Feiyue took out the map he had collected earlier, and the four heads gathered together to look at it for a few minutes.
Yan Xia pointed his index finger at a place called Jiang Fengling: "How about this place? With Xiaobai's speed, this should be just the right place."
Su Wenyin: "That's it."
It was so casual, simple and crude, and the decision was made in just a few minutes.
---
There were no accidents on the road this time. Yan Xia's family of four arrived at Jiangfengling before dark. The scenery here was quite nice, but it was a bit far away from the village and the shops.
Whether you go east or west, the nearest town is a bit far away.
But this is not a problem, they have prepared abundant supplies.
After letting Xiaobai find food by himself, Yan Xia took out the familiar picnic set and some snacks he had bought in Lingcheng before.
For a moment, it seemed as if they had returned to their previous life in the secret realm, but the difference this time was that there were not so many people around them.
Only the family of four was more leisurely. Su Wenyin even made a video call to Grandpa Su, but unfortunately the other party refused the call on the grounds that he was busy.
Su Wenyin, who was not able to share the wonderful life with her biological father, sighed several times, "Your grandpa must have not found anything to scare us."
Yan Xia thought of the zombie head that suddenly entered his sight last time, and was thankful for several seconds. He almost forgot about this attribute of his grandfather. He didn't answer it well. He couldn't look at disgusting things when he was about to eat.
Su Wenyin, who just wanted to contact her biological father because she was bored waiting for the meal, did not bother about it anymore and started to help her two children prepare the ingredients.
The family of four lived a happy life, and just when Yan Xia had just put the dishes and chopsticks on the small table.
He saw his mother's ears twitch, and the other party paused in his hand movements.
Yan Xia's heart skipped a beat. His mother's cultivation was much higher than theirs. Although she would not deliberately release her spiritual sense to investigate the surroundings, she would still be able to notice any movement in the first place.
Yan Xia put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked, "Is it a human or a strange beast?"
Yan Ji and Yan Feiyue also stopped what they were doing and looked at Su Wenyin.
Su Wenyin: "It sounds like they all have it, but we should still be a little far away."
All?
If the noise was loud enough to attract his mother's attention, then a fight would usually break out.
If they were just walking on the road or staying somewhere like them and the Pegasus, they would not attract much attention.
Yan Xia looked a little curious: "Do you want to go and take a look?"
Su Wenyin smiled and said, "Okay."
Yan Xia had already taken a step forward with his left foot, and the next second he heard his mother say, "Go and check for us."
Yan Xia took his left foot back suddenly, turned his head, and looked at his mother with his big eyes.
It is impossible for one person to be alone, who knows what the situation is over there.
His mission is about to be completed, and it would be too unfair if something went wrong at this critical juncture.
Yan Xia sat back in his chair: "Suddenly I don't want to know that much anymore."
Su Wenyin laughed: "What a success."
Yan Xia's expression didn't change at all. This was all he could do.
Su Wenyin pulled up her cub's arm. Of course, she couldn't favor one over the other. She held one in each hand and turned her head to remind Yan Feiyue: "Don't overcook the meat. We'll be back soon."
After saying this, he flew away on his sword.
Yan Feiyue, who stayed behind to look after the luggage and was also responsible for the barbecue: “…………”
Very good, he has no name in this family again.
Xiaobai grunted as he ate the grass. Yan Feiyue sat next to Xiaobai with a piece of meat in his hand. He stroked Xiaobai's black fur and took a big bite of the meat. "It's just the two of us left."
Xiaobai: Huff huff.
This human is so weird, I don't understand.
What is he doing eating next to him? Xiaobai’s clever brain turned for a moment, then he picked up a mouthful of grass and handed it to Yan Feiyue.
Yan Feiyue, whose face was almost covered with grass, said: “…………”
"I don't want to eat it, you can eat it yourself."
A bit of human compassion flashed in Xiaobai's big eyes. This human didn't even know to eat such delicious grass. There must be something wrong with his brain. It would have to help watch over him in the future.
There was a lot of drama here, and the mother and her two children, who had only flown out for a minute or two, heard the noise getting louder and louder.
Mixed in with it were the roars of monsters and sounds like humans shouting for help.
As the sound got closer, Yan Xia and the other two finally saw the source of the sound.
Next to a pond in front, three monks were fighting against a third-level monster, the Flame Lightning Crocodile.
Not far away, there was a person lying there, covered in blood. He must have been seriously injured. He kept shouting for help, but his voice was getting weaker and weaker.
Although the Flame Lightning Crocodile is only level three, the cultivation bases of the few people are not high. Two are in the early stage of foundation building, one is in the high stage of Qi training, and the one lying on the ground is only in the middle stage of Qi training. No one knows whose little disciple ran out to play and provoked a monster of a higher level than himself.
One of them spotted Yan Xia and the other two, and his expression suddenly turned into an exaggerated surprise. He didn't bother to think about why there were people in the wilderness. He shouted at the top of his voice: "Help, fellow Taoist! Help, please!!"
Several people were indeed about to be defeated, and Yan Xia rushed forward with his sword. The Flame and Lightning Crocodile, which was only level three, was naturally no match for the Nascent Soul stage. Yan Xia knocked the ugly big crocodile to the ground within three moves.
The three people who had been holding on sat down on the ground exhausted. They were breathing heavily while talking, but they did not forget to express their gratitude one by one.
"Wow, thank you, fellow Taoist. You will be my second parent from now on!"
"I am Li Jingye from the Yongcheng Li family. Where are you fellow Taoists from? We will definitely come to your house to express our gratitude someday."
"And me, and me. I am Chen Junwu from the Chen family in Yongcheng. If you fellow Taoists like anything, my family is rich and I will ask my father to give it to you."
Before Yan Xia could say anything, these people explained everything about their family situations in just a few words.
In addition to the relief of surviving the disaster, everyone's face also showed a bit of clear stupidity. Yan Xia suddenly thought of his silly college classmates in his previous life.
Well, some people who have become part of the system don’t really want to admit that they were once one of these classmates.
Yan Xia acted like a master: "Let's talk about this later. If you don't check on your companion, he might really be in trouble."
The cultivator named Chen Junwu seemed to have just remembered that he had a companion and fell to the ground early.
"Oh, yes, yes, Zhang Fa, how are you? Wake up! Don't die. How am I going to explain to your mother if you die?" Chen Junwu slapped his forehead with his big hand and rolled towards the monk who was lying on the ground.
The monk named Zhang Fa didn't know whether it was because he was seriously injured or because he had just shouted for help too hard, but now that he felt relieved, he fainted.
Chen Junwu and the other two ignored their own injuries and surrounded Zhang Fa crying and shouting for their parents. The scene was so heartbreaking that it made anyone who heard it cry!
Someone took out a pill and fed it to Zhang Fa, but he was still unconscious and motionless. Chen Junwu looked like he was about to cry: "What's going on? Why hasn't he woken up yet? Is it that the pill is useless? Wuuuuuuuuuuuu... Zhang Fa, please don't die!"
It was really pitiful to see several grown men crying.
Yan Xia was just thinking about saving the man and breaking off a corner of the five-pointed pill given to him by the master of Zhengyang Peak, but he saw his brother take action first.
Although the pill handed to Chen Junwu was not the top-grade pill given by the master of Zhengyang Peak, its effect was better than what they had just fed to people.
Chen Junwu cried even louder: "Thank you so much! I will work like a cow or a horse to repay you in my next life. I can also help you if you need me in this life."
Sometimes they act like parents, sometimes they work like slaves.
The mother and her two children twitched their eyes when they heard this.
Yan Ji's expression was very cold: "No, just looking at you reminds me of an old friend."
Yan Xia's little head immediately connected to this train of thought.
Who is the old friend talking about?
Talk about him? What does his brother mean? Did he see his past life in those clear and stupid eyes?
No way? It's definitely not him, right? It's definitely not him, right? ?
Yan Xia stared at Yan Ji, and Yan Ji turned around and smiled, giving the answer in his not-very obvious smile.
Yan Xia: “…………”
How could he have been so obviously clear-headed and stupid in his previous life? !
Su Wenyin, who had given the front position to her two cubs from the very beginning, smiled with relief. Whether they were stupid or not, they were all her cubs.
Even the way he looked at the monks was a little kind, as if he was looking at a neighbor's child.
The other two people in the family were smiling, only Yan Xia stood there humming.
His brother is stupid, and so is his whole family.
Huh? ? No! His brother is the only one who is stupid!!
The interaction between the mother and her two children did not attract the attention of the three monks, as their attention was all on Zhang Fa.
The medicine given by Yan Ji was naturally good. Under the gaze of several eyes, the unconscious Zhang Fa finally woke up. His breath was still a little weak, but at least he was fine.
The expression of 'If you don't wake up, I want to be buried with you' finally disappeared from Chen Junwu's face.
After their lives were temporarily out of danger, Yan Xia and her two sons learned from several people why they had fallen into this situation.
Chen Junwu said that the four of them were good friends before, and they had average talent in the path of cultivation, and had not joined any sect. This time, they took the opportunity of traveling outside to try to see if they could pass the selection to become outer disciples of the Feiyu Sect.
Yan Xia interrupted: "Won't the selection of Feiyu Sect disciples take several months?"
At least according to the information he knew, the selection of outer disciples should be two or three months after the exchange conference.
There is still a month left before the exchange conference. Why come so early? There is no such rush.
Chen Junwu answered all the questions without hiding anything: "We want to live in Lingcheng for a few months first. Maybe we can have a chance to meet the four elders."
Yan Xia, who was caught off guard by the words, said: "???"
Is there anything about their family of four involved here?
Chen Junwu and his companions did not notice at all that Yan Xia, mother and son, all had paused expressions on their faces, and were still telling their whole situation.
They said they had never wanted to join a sect, they wanted to be free and independent, but Feiyu Sect has been the center of attention recently, and the four elders, they have never heard of such powerful cultivators in their lives! They want to go and see! !
When Chen Junwu talked about the stories he heard from others, his expression was full of admiration, just like the expression of a true fan in his previous life when he recommended his idol to others.
Seeing this, Yan Xia started picking at the soles of his shoes again.
Don't ask, it's embarrassing.
After finally listening to how others boasted about themselves, Yan Xia heard a few people talking about how they had originally planned to arrive in Lingcheng during the day, but were delayed by something.
When they were flying over this area in a hurry, they didn't provoke anyone, but the Flame Crocodile suddenly rushed out and bit them. It was probably because it was out looking for food and happened to see them.
The four of them, some were practicing Qi training, some were building their foundation, how could they be a match for the third-level Flame Lightning Crocodile?
When he said this, Yan Xia received a lot of words of gratitude again, and everyone's expression was so sincere that it seemed as if they wanted to kneel down and kowtow to them.
When they were in the secret realm before, the group of young disciples had more expressions of shock than gratitude. Yan Xia, who was facing such expressions for the first time, was a little overwhelmed and hid behind his mother.
Su Wenyin waved her hand, indicating that since they were injured and it was not suitable to travel at night, they should stay with them for one night.
There are many unknown dangers in the wilderness at night, and many monsters like to move around at night.
Therefore, they were all very grateful to Su Wenyin for the invitation.
Several people immediately cleaned up the mess. The huge flame crocodile was still lying on the ground. Although this thing was covered with valuables, its meat still tasted good. The skin could also be used to make a small armor or something. It should have no problem blocking an attack from a Jindan stage cultivator.
Therefore, that layer of skin was of little use to Yan Xia and his companions. When Yan Xia put away the Flame Lightning Crocodile, he was still thinking that they would eat its meat when they returned later, but the skin could be given to a few cultivators.
I don’t know if kind people will always be rewarded. After Yan Xia put away the Flame Lightning Crocodile, he turned around and saw that there seemed to be several Changxuan grasses beside the pond.
A rare medicinal material, mainly used to repair the spirit platform.
Lingtai is like a cultivator's second life. It is conceivable how difficult it is to repair it if something goes wrong.
Therefore, every medicinal ingredient in the prescription is actually quite valuable, and uncommon medicinal ingredients like Changxuancao are even more priceless.
Yan Xia said "eh", as he was a little far away and not very sure.
Su Wenyin, who was waiting to leave after packing up, flashed to her child's side and asked, "What did you find?"
Yan Xia pointed in that direction.
Su Wenyin also exclaimed "Huh", and quickly stepped forward and found that it was indeed Chang Xuancao.
The movements of the mother and son also attracted the attention of Chen Junwu and three others who were resting nearby.
After these four people found that there was Changxuan grass here, their faces were a little incredible, and there was no greed in their big eyes. They were just happy that their lifesaver had found this precious medicinal material.
Yan Xia was indeed very happy. As the saying goes, good people will be rewarded, and it was true.
The master of Zhengyang Peak is always short of medicinal materials. If they take these back and sell them to him, they will have some money again.
Thinking that they had gained a treasure in such a short time, Yan Xia was delighted and had a smile on his face the whole time, not realizing that his smile was also a bit clear and stupid.
No different from the four people next to him.
Yan Ji pursed his lips. He was still wrong. It was not an old friend. It was obvious that the person had always been by his side.
After digging out several plants of Changxuan grass, Su Wenyin led the way back home.
Behind them, Chen Junwu and the others didn't ask where they were going, but just followed them foolishly.
Yan Xia watched and shook his head, wondering how these people with such personalities dared to come out to gain experience. They would probably be sold out and still help count the money.
Considering that several people were injured, Luffy returned a little slowly.
Four or five minutes later, Yan Feiyue saw the movement and turned around, and saw three people with names from his family coming back with a few people he didn't know.
Yan Feiyue silently put a little more meat on the baking tray. While grilling it, he felt moved by himself. Nowadays, there are not many adults like him who are so self-conscious and stay at home to look after the house.
Because of the four extra people, the campfire dinner for the family of four became a little more lively.
When Yan Xia handed the skin of the flame crocodile to Chen Junwu, several people shook their heads like rattles.
Yan Xia looked at the four heads swaying and felt inexplicably familiar, and then his mind came to the two pairs of people he had seen today.
Yan Xia was silent for two seconds, thinking silently that it seemed that the disciples outside really liked rattles.
Finally, Su Wenyin said that they had no use for it at all and keeping it would only take up space. Only then did Chen Junwu and the others collect the skin of the Flame and Lightning Crocodile.
Looking at the silly smiles on several people's faces, Yan Xia realized belatedly that he seemed to have forgotten a piece of information.
He asked Chen Junwu who was eating meat, "You are from Yongcheng? Have you heard of the Jia family in Yongcheng?"
Fellow Taoist Jia Fugui was the first cultivator he met since coming to this world. Although he had never seen this person again since leaving the secret realm, he remembered his self-introduction clearly.
Chen Junwu looked surprised and asked, "Does my benefactor know Taoist Yuanfu?"
Yan Xia noticed the key information this time: "Master?"
"He has also advanced to the Nascent Soul stage?"
After all, in Hunyuan Continent, only those with the cultivation level above the Nascent Soul Stage can be respected as a Taoist priest by other cultivators. But wasn’t he only in the middle Golden Core Stage when he was in the secret realm last time?
Chen Junwu still had a surprised expression on his face: "Well, after he came out of the famous Wuliang Ancient Realm, he went back home and went into seclusion. My father wrote to me a few days ago and said that Taoist Yuanfu has broken through the Jindan stage and advanced to the Yuanying stage."
Chen Junwu was a bit of a chatterbox, and continued to speak excitedly: "I heard that Taoist Yuanfu gained a lot of insights in the secret realm. He is also the person closest to the four elders. He has been with the four from the beginning. He is really lucky. Everyone is saying that he must have gained some insights from the four elders."
The four elders involved: “…………”
It turns out that this rumor isn't just spreading in Feiyu Sect.
The silly kids didn't notice the pause in the four people's expressions and were still excitedly telling them all the rumors they knew.
Yan Xia's eyes twitched, and he tried to dispel the rumor: "In my opinion, it was Daoist Yuanfu's own efforts. After coming out of the secret realm, the four elders have been in Feiyu Sect. Daoist Yuanfu has neither been with others day and night, nor experienced the thunder tribulation of the tribulation period. The four elders did not help him much."
Seeing his benefactor refute his opinion, Chen Junwu said with some hesitation: "But, without the four elders, Daoist Yuanfu might not even be able to leave the secret realm. Not only him, but the entire Hunyuan Continent might be in chaos."
So, there must be a connection here. If you rely solely on your own efforts, you won’t be able to make any progress in your life.
From this perspective, Yan Xia was speechless and remained silent for several seconds.
Chen Junwu seemed to have discovered a blind spot and remembered something, and asked excitedly, "Have the benefactors also met the four elders?"
Looking at the other person's eyes that seemed to be full of surprise, admiration and fanaticism.
Yan Xia's family of four: "…………"
How do they answer this?
In fact, when Chen Junwu and the others asked them their names, Yan Xia had already fooled them, but now...
Yan Xia coughed lightly: "When we... passed by Lingcheng, we saw a few... a few elders from afar."
Chen Junwu and the other three were surrounded by the croaking of frogs.
Yan Xia: “…………”
Can one be so surprised just by looking at it from a distance?
Chen Junwu told Yan Xia the answer with his expression and eyes...
Yes! ! !
Chen Junwu said excitedly, "Are those four elders as handsome and elegant as the rumors say, able to make clouds and rain with a wave of their hands, like immortals descending to earth, and making others pale in comparison just by standing there?!"
Yan Xia's family of four: "…………"
Picking the soles of their shoes. They are picking the soles of their shoes again.
Yan Xia almost choked, but luckily she managed to calm down in the end and said in a serious tone: "Yingjun is indeed very handsome."
The other three members of the Yan family: “…………”
My own kid is really not modest.
