Chapter 60 The Fragmented Taoist 22
Chen Junwu and his companions had no doubt at all about Yan Xia's boastful and immodest remarks, and they expressed great excitement about the fact that their benefactors had met the four elders.
These are obviously just rumors heard from others, I don't know why I'm so excited.
While Chen Junwu was excited, he did not forget to praise his benefactors for being handsome.
The bowl of water was held very evenly, the four elders admired him very much, and the benefactors could not be forgotten either.
The possibility of overlap between these two groups of people was not considered at all.
But it’s no wonder that Chen Junwu couldn’t see that Yan Xia and the others’ appearance this time was a little different from the image in the rumors.
The hair problem is secondary. The main reason is that the Breath-Concealing Talisman refined by Su Wenyin can not only shield her cultivation level, but also reveal her bone age, which is generally invisible to outsiders.
Now in the eyes of outsiders, they are just a group of good-looking monks whose cultivation level and age are unknown.
The main focus is on being low-key.
Facts have also proved that being low-key is not wrong. Not everyone can withstand such fanatical eyes.
Therefore, in the eyes of Chen Junwu and others, their benefactors were so powerful and hidden that they were obviously masters who were not something they could detect.
It was already completely dark. When Chen Junwu once again expressed his admiration for Feiyu Sect and its four elders, Yan Xia couldn't help but say something more: "What if you enter Feiyu Sect and they leave?"
What he didn't say was that this was not just a possibility, but a certainty.
The selection of outer disciples for Feiyu Sect was a matter of several months, and they had already left this world.
Chen Junwu had a carefree expression, and he was quite happy to see it: "It's okay, I heard that there are statues of the four elders in Lingcheng, we can go and see the statues."
“Cough, cough, cough…”
"cough!!"
Several coughs were heard one after another, coming from Yan Xia's family.
Chen Junwu looked puzzled: "What happened to my benefactor?"
Yan Xia: “…………”
He just mentioned it unnecessarily.
Yan Xia cleared his throat and said, "It's okay. I just choked while eating meat."
"This story tells us that we should eat meat slowly."
Chen Junwu didn't quite understand why several people could choke at the same time, but he still nodded in agreement obediently.
Clear-minded and stupid people all have one thing in common: they are very obedient.
Yan Xia did not mention the topic of the four elders again. He was afraid of hearing some disgusting remarks.
The flame crocodile was very large, and the several people together only ate a small part of it. Yan Xia collected the rest, which was considered free supplies, so they didn't have to go out and look for it themselves.
After eating and drinking, Yan Xia's family of four went into the tree house in pairs to rest. Chen Junwu and his companions had originally gone out for training, so they had some equipment for taking a rest in the wild, so Yan Xia and his companions didn't need to worry about it.
However, Chen Junwu and his companions did not rest. They were all injured to varying degrees. They took this opportunity to meditate and rest, and at the same time they could also keep watch.
Although several benefactors said that there was no need to leave anyone watching at night and there would be no danger, Chen Junwu and his companions still took on this important task voluntarily.
---
A good night's sleep.
After a few adjustments and packing up, it was naturally time to go our separate ways.
Yan Xia and his group wanted to move forward, while Chen Junwu and his group's destination was Lingcheng, which were completely in two different directions.
Facing separation soon, Chen Junwu and his friends, who did not get the names of their benefactors yesterday, began a new round of attempts to repay their kindness.
What Chen Junwu meant by his words was that he hoped his benefactors would leave an address so that his father could send some things to them when the time comes.
Looking at the other person's natural and righteous expression, Yan Xia observed a three-second silence for Father Chen, whom he did not know. It could be seen that this grown-up boy probably often robbed his father's things.
However, it is impossible to give their address. They don’t have a fixed address. The only semi-fixed one is in Feiyu Sect. If they give it, their identities will be exposed.
Seeing how righteous their benefactors were, Chen Junwu and his companions had no choice but to rummage through their storage rings to see if they could dig out anything good.
However, the elixirs and magical instruments they used were just average. Judging from the elixirs that several benefactors had given to Zhang before, they must have better ones, and their average ones were not worth mentioning.
Chen Junwu and his companions were extremely distressed.
In the end, Yan Xia couldn't bear it anymore and picked out some gold and silver from the pile of things that Chen Junwu and others had dug out.
Chen Junwu and his companions were very happy to see that their benefactor was finally willing to accept their gifts, and they were also very moved.
In his heart, he felt that his benefactor was truly of high character. Although the things he had here were indeed not valuable, his benefactor took the most useless gold and silver. Such mundane items were of no help to cultivation at all.
The benefactor took such good care of them, they will remember this kindness forever!!
It’s a pity that the benefactors did good deeds without leaving their names, which made Chen Junwu and the others admire them even more.
Look at this!! This is a master who doesn’t care about fame or vulgar things at all!
Yan Xia, who didn't care about worldly things, was touching the gold in his hand at this time. The golden gold looked really beautiful. These little monks were really polite.
Or next time when you have a chance to sell something, ask someone to exchange it for gold and silver. They look much better than spirit stones.
I can only say it's a misunderstanding, it's so big!
---
While Chen Junwu and his companions flew towards Lingcheng on their swords, Yan Xia and his companions continued to sit in the swaying carriage.
"Xiaobai, let's go!"
The little white horse stomped its hooves happily when it heard the command, as it was back to its home turf.
The direction chosen by Yan Xia and his team is relatively remote, and the main point is that there must be many treasures in a deserted place.
This was indeed the case. Although they did not see any towns in the next two days and lived in the wild, they did find a lot of good things.
Yan Xia was very happy, but also a little regretful that he had stayed in Feiyu Sect for too long and should have come out earlier.
However, this idea is just a thought. The most important thing for them is of course to complete the testing task, and making money is secondary.
Another evening has arrived, and the division of labor among the family of four is very clear. Ms. Su is in charge of the outside affairs, while the father and his two sons are in charge of the inside affairs.
Well, if there is danger, the one with the highest cultivation level in the family will rush forward, there is nothing wrong with that.
After dinner, Yan Xia ate a little too much tonight. His brother was lying in the tree house, but Yan Xia was still hanging around under the tree.
It swayed until it came to Xiaobai's side, who was also eating grass with a grunt.
Yan Xia touched the fat and strong horse and reminded it, "Eat more."
It has been hard work pulling the carriage these days.
Xiaobai ate without even raising his head, as if the grass was some kind of delicacy. Seeing this temporary owner staring at his grass, Xiaobai's big eyes flashed with confusion, and then...
The same action that was done to Yan Feiyue on the first night was repeated again. He picked up a large mouthful of grass and put it to Yan Xia's mouth.
Yan Xia, whose face was covered with grass, said: “…………”
"I won't eat it, you eat it yourself."
Xiaobai chewed and swallowed the grass in no time. His eyelashes fluttered and the emotion in his big eyes was the same as before. Humans really don't know how to appreciate it.
Such delicious grass is not worth eating. Thinking of this, Xiaobai started eating it in big mouthfuls.
Yan Xia stared at the other person's particularly delicious eating appearance for several seconds, and after a moment, he muttered softly: "Is it really so delicious?"
The little white boy didn't even raise his head, and answered his master with actions. The key is that he couldn't answer with words.
Yan Xia, who had almost digested the food, smacked his lips. Then he bent down, plucked two leaves from a grass not far from the horse's mouth, performed a cleaning operation, and stuffed them into his mouth.
Yan Xia leaned on Xiaobai and chewed as well. If he put on the ears, he could cosplay as a big rabbit.
Yan Xia narrowed his eyes while chewing. It tasted really good, with a hint of sweetness from the grass, not astringent at all, and even a little juicy. No wonder Xiaobai ate it so happily.
Yan Xia, who was a little bit drunk on the chewing, bent down and took two more pieces. During this time, he received a "tasteful" look from Xiao Bai, who even gave up some space for him.
That half-step back action was very serious, meaning...
You can eat here, there is space!
Yan Xia: “…………”
Too considerate.
Yan Xia touched Xiaobai's head, and Xiaobai rubbed it against his palm, then lowered his head and started eating grass. The series of actions were very smooth. It was obvious that giving up his seat while eating was already the biggest concession he made, and it would be a bit impolite to affect his eating further.
Yan Xia was amused by this silly horse who was in a hurry to eat, but when he stood up, the smile froze on his face.
I saw his brother standing at the door of the tree house with an indescribable expression on his face.
At this moment, he was chewing the same green grass as Xiaobai.
Yan Xia: “…………”
Did his brother misunderstand something?
Yan Xia was about to explain when he heard his brother say, "Remember to tell me next time if you're not full."
Don't come out to eat grass under the pretext of being full.
Yan Xia: “…………”
Yan Xia spat out the unchewed grass with two mouthfuls.
"I just saw Xiaobai was enjoying his meal, so I tried some."
No, this doesn't seem to be much better than sneaking out to eat grass when you're not full.
Sure enough, as soon as Yan Xia finished speaking, Yan Ji's expression changed again to "Are you only three years old?"
A three-year-old child doesn't put everything in his mouth.
The two brothers spoke in a low voice, but after just two or three sentences they still started an argument with Su Wenying and Yan Feiyue who were standing next to them.
Su Wenyin didn't come out either, so she leaned over the window of the study and poked her head out to ask, "What are you two doing instead of sleeping?"
Yan Ji's tone was always strict and simple: "Watch him eat grass."
Yan Xia: “…………”
There is no need to be so good at summarizing. This is not a reading comprehension test where you need to extract the central idea.
And how is this tone different from when I was a kid and complained about something I did wrong? !
In fact, there are differences, for example, some parents do not play by the rules.
Su Wenyin raised her eyebrows: "Is it delicious? Let me try some."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand, waiting for his cub to feed him.
Yan Feiyue and Yan Ji: “…………”
It seems like there’s another three-year-old in the house, what’s so good about this?!
Yan. The first three-year-old child. Xia had an expression on his face that only his mother could understand him. Then he ran to Xiaobai and carefully selected a piece of tender grass for Ms. Su. He washed it before handing it to Ms. Su.
Su Wenyin did not disappoint her son's expectations. She tasted it carefully and gave her evaluation: "Not bad, sweet. I'll pick some to make porridge tomorrow morning."
This is possible, Yan Xia immediately cast his vote of approval.
As for the remaining two, Yan Feiyue and Yan Ji, they naturally had no right to vote since Su Wenyin had already spoken.
Little White was eating grass with his ears perked up, as if he heard someone trying to steal his food. What was going on?
Not sure, listen again!!
The little episode before bed ended with finalizing the next day's breakfast. Before entering the tree house to rest, Yan Xia did not forget to draw a circle in the tender grass and said to Xiao Bai: "Leave this for us, you eat the one next to it, dear~"
He just said this without caring whether the silly horse understood or not. It didn't matter if he didn't understand. There was plenty of this kind of grass anyway, so he could look for it tomorrow morning.
As a result, when Yan Xia woke up the next morning, he found that the grass he drew last night was still there, but...
The horse is gone!!
Such a big! Black horse!! It's gone!!
Flying horses are naturally different from ordinary horses. They don’t need to be tied up when resting and they won’t run away.
Yan Xia believed this statement without a doubt until a few days ago. It was not until now that he realized that there would indeed be one or two outliers in a population.
Didn’t you say you wouldn’t run?!
There was not even a single horse hair nearby, so Yan Xia shouted several times: "Xiao Bai! Xiao Bai!"
The shout received no response, but it woke up the other people in the house.
Su Wenyin checked the traces on the ground and said, "He ran away from home."
There were only Xiaobai's own footprints, and it was obvious that he ran away on his own initiative.
Yan Xia thought for a few seconds before saying, "Do you feel wronged by following us?"
It shouldn't be like this. They are so nice to the silly horse. They never let the horse get tired even though they stop and go all the time. They never forget to wash the horse when they are cleaning. It can be said that half of the credit for Xiaobai's shiny fur is due to his cleaning skills.
Could it be that because I asked it to leave some grass yesterday, it feels wronged?
That's not right. Xiaobai took the initiative to give him his seat yesterday. I didn't see how much he cared about the grass. Besides, the amount he asked for was not enough for Xiaobai to fill his stomach.
The family of four made wild guesses but couldn't figure out the reason. Just when Yan Xia was thinking about going out to look for her, he saw his mother pricked up her ears again.
This movement was so familiar that Yan Xia asked, "Are you back?"
Su Wenyin nodded: "It sounds like it, but not quite."
Yan Xia: "What's not similar?"
Su Wenyin said in a serious tone: "It seems to be a little more."
A few minutes later.
Yan Xia finally understood what his mother meant by "a little more", which was the literal meaning...
One more horse.
Yan Xia was currently busy preparing the porridge that had been ordered last night. Ever since Xiao Bai appeared within the range of his mother's spiritual awareness, Yan Xia knew there was no danger and stopped caring about it.
What his mother meant was that Xiaobai was already on his way back.
Sure enough, after three or four minutes he heard the noise and saw Xiaobai running towards him from afar. However, behind this dark and stupid horse, there was an exceptionally beautiful flying horse with a glowing white body.
One black and one white were very conspicuous, and Yan Xia saw them from a distance.
When the flying horse ran at full speed, it was very fast. Xiaobai arrived in front of Yan Xia in a short while. Yan Xia touched the horse's head and asked: "Where have you been so early in the morning?"
Xiaobai couldn't speak and no one answered him.
Su Wenyin, on the other hand, exclaimed, "Hey, he brought back a pretty boy for himself."
Yan Xia, who didn't notice any of this, turned around and saw that the exceptionally beautiful flying horse following Xiaobai was actually a male!
And their Xiaobai, although she is completely black and very tall, is indeed a real little girl.
It had only been a few days since Sect Master Yang Yan handed the girl over to them, and they had already brought back a pretty boy.
Yan Xia looked at Xiao Bai's face with a hint of disappointment: "You are a girl, you should be reserved, don't you know?! I don't know what kind of person the pretty boy outside is, not... what kind of horse, you bring him home, this is not appropriate!!"
Xiaobai still raised his face, his big eyes full of confusion...
This human was mumbling a lot of things, but I couldn't understand what he was saying!
The horse it brought back is still the most beautiful, so cute! !
Yan Xia was dazzled by the two horse heads stuck together. He pointed at Xiao Bai like an angry old father: "Be more reserved, be more reserved! I've told you so many times."
Xiaobai shook his head and refused to listen.
Su Wenyin, on the other hand, agreed with this: "This horse is so beautiful, even I find it pleasing to the eye."
It’s not that Xiaobai is not good-looking, it’s mainly because Xiaobai is too dark, giving people a more majestic and tall feeling.
The flying horse standing next to Xiaobai is different. It is glowing white, and the first impression it gives people is that it is beautiful.
No wonder Xiaobai is so obsessed with it, where did he find it from? !
After admiring the beautiful horse, Su Wenyin inadvertently muttered, "Even horses have partners these days."
The single Yan Xia and Yan Ji: “…………”
What does this mean?
Xiaobai is possessed and he won’t listen!
Yan Xia was good at changing the subject, and immediately asked in all seriousness: "Is this horse raised by someone?"
Su Wenyin glanced at her son who was trying to change the subject but knowingly asked the question, and said, "It doesn't look like it."
This big white horse, although beautiful, has a bit of wildness in its eyes, and it is obvious that it has lived in the wild for a long time.
Of course Yan Xia also saw it, he just asked that question.
Perhaps he felt that he had changed the subject deliberately, so Yan Xia directly brought up another question: "It looks like he is going to stick with our Xiaobai and won't leave. I wonder if Sect Master Yang Yan will recognize him when he returns to Feiyu Sect."
Yan Feiyue interrupted as he stirred the porridge in the pot: "It would be better if they didn't have to go out and look for it themselves."
The flying horses raised in the sect are basically those that grow in the wild. There is no reason to refuse a horse that comes to the sect on its own initiative.
Yan Xia nodded: "That's true."
Yan Xia clicked his tongue twice at the big white horse and exclaimed, "You've got a wife all of a sudden! This is the peak of your life!" As he spoke, he reached out to touch the big white horse's head, but the big white horse didn't let him and dodged immediately, looking like a person who couldn't indulge in lust even though he was rich.
Yan Xia stopped his hand in the air, looking at the two horse heads stuck together. He never thought that one day he would be able to eat as much horse feed as he wanted.
If you don’t want me to touch you, then don’t touch me, you stinky couple!
"I'll call you Xiao Hei from now on." Some single people who failed to successfully get the horse's head unilaterally decided the name of the big white horse.
Yan Xia drank his porridge and looked at the two flying horses that were eating grass side by side. He thought to himself how kind he was that he even gave them a couple name.
Give me my name based on the color of your fur.
Oh, he is such an ordinary little genius at naming.
---
The addition of a black guy to the team did not have any impact on their itinerary.
It just felt like there were a few more pink bubbles in the air. Yan Xia said it didn't matter, as he could just pretend to be blind.
The pink bubble led them all the way to Fucheng, which was the second town the family of four saw after Lingcheng.
Fucheng is quite lively, but not as big as Lingcheng.
It was noon when Yan Xia and his friends arrived. They rode through the streets in a carriage and could smell the aroma of various foods.
Sure enough, the most beautiful fireworks are still seen by ordinary people.
As Yan Xia was sighing, the carriage drove to an inn.
The waiter was very considerate: "Are you Taoist priests staying at the hotel?"
Su Wenyin nodded: "Two upper rooms."
The waiter smiled and said, "Okay, Taoist priests, please go upstairs."
Yan Xia and his companions actually didn't have any luggage to put away, so they just parked the horses and carriage in the exclusive area of the inn.
After finishing, Yan Xia patted Xiao Bai's head and said, "Stay still and don't run around."
The little white-headed boy who used to rub his head in his palm didn't even raise his head.
Su Wenyin shook her head and said, "It thinks you talk too much."
Yan Xia pretended to be sad, but even though he was out of the sight of Xiaobai and Xiaohei, he still didn't get a single glance from them.
Yan Xia was really sad now, and then turned around and went to the restaurant to eat three big bowls of rice.
The common people of Fucheng are quite knowledgeable about life, and it was no wonder that he had just been tempted by the aroma on the street.
After coming out of the restaurant, the family of four strolled around and saw some cute pets being sold on the roadside.
This cute pet was none other than the white-feathered nine-tailed raccoon that Ms. Su had petted twice before.
Of course, it is not the same one. The cultivation level of this big one has not reached the second level yet.
The seller is a strong man who is in a high stage of Qi training.
As soon as the sturdy man saw the four people standing in front of him, a bright smile appeared on his face: "Daoist masters, are you looking after pets?"
After asking, he observed the other's expressions and introduced the white-feathered nine-tailed raccoon in the cage: "This nine-tailed raccoon just arrived this morning, and it's in good spirits. Now it's buy one get one free. If you Taoist priests want the big one, I'll give you the small one too."
When the sturdy man said this, Yan Xia was standing in front of the white-feathered nine-tailed raccoon with his mother holding his arm.
In the cage, the white-feathered nine-tailed raccoon mother and her cub, one big and one small, snuggled together.
There were still wounds on the mother White-feathered Nine-tailed Fox's body, and it was obvious that she had struggled when she was captured. Her fur also looked ugly because of the wounds.
If a single white-feathered nine-tailed raccoon were in this situation, it would probably not want to live.
But this is a mother raccoon, and her mind and eyes are completely focused on her cub.
Both the big and the small were very alert. The smaller one huddled beside its mother and imitated her, with its big eyes making a fierce expression, which looked very cute.
Yan Xia, who had never raised a pet, felt as if his heart was struck, let alone his furry mother.
Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, Yan Xia's mother had already started bargaining. Even though she liked the item, she still had to lower the price.
Yan Xia was sucking on the little white-feathered nine-tailed raccoon while watching the Tribulation Stage elder bargaining online.
Five minutes later, Ms. Su finally negotiated a suitable price with the strong stall owner.
When leaving, Yan Feiyue took the initiative to help carry the cage.
With two more living creatures around me, I lost interest in continuing to wander around.
After arriving at the inn, Yan Xia did not return to his room, but followed his parents into their room.
The cage was placed on the table, and the mother raccoon inside bared her teeth and made threatening sounds.
Su Wenyin gently touched the cage and said, "Be good, I'll let you go when you're well."
It is impossible to raise it, not to mention that this thing is supposed to live in the wild, and there is no way they can take a living thing with them when they leave.
Besides, this mother raccoon doesn't want to be raised by humans and keeps grinning in the cage.
Su Wenyin was rummaging through her ring for the elixir that could heal the monster. After finding it, she broke off a little bit and reached into the cage to feed it. As expected... she was bitten.
Yan Xia, who was standing nearby, clearly heard a "hiss", but his mother didn't even open her mouth. Besides, wasn't his mother's body shielded from pain just like his?
Then he turned around and saw that it was his father who hissed.
The moment Ms. Su was bitten by the mother raccoon, the cub inside followed suit and crawled out from the gap, biting Yan Feiyue.
Yan Feiyue's five senses are real.
Su Wenyin grabbed the back of the mother raccoon's neck and injected some spiritual energy into her to comfort her: "Don't be afraid~"
The vigilant mother raccoon relaxed a lot, and Su Wenyin took the opportunity to feed her the pill.
The pill took effect quickly. Feeling that her injuries were healing, the mother raccoon completely lost her hostility and stayed obediently at the door of the cage.
The little ones huddled together with their mother, two white balls, one big and one small, so adorable.
If, we ignore the three white heads in front of them.
Yan Ji looked at the hair of the three people in his family that had turned white one after another, and then looked at his own hair that was still jet black.
His father had no sense of name, and he seemed to understand a little bit.
Immersed in the cute pet, Yan Xia and Su Wenyin, mother and son, did not notice Yan Ji's eyes. They were feeding the two furry creatures with monster meat.
I don't know if they haven't eaten since they were caught, but the two, big and small, were eating happily with grunts. The little nine-tailed raccoon has bad teeth, so it eats very hard. The way it eats so hard makes it even cuter. Ms. Su was so cute that she lay down on the table like a weird aunt.
After eating, Su Wenshi locked the two children in a cage. She didn't care whether they could understand her or not. She explained to herself, "Your injuries haven't healed yet. You can't run around now. I'll let you go tomorrow, okay?"
I don’t know if the mother raccoon was tired or if she really understood. She didn’t struggle at all. She just held her cub by the scruff of the neck and nestled into the cage, sleeping soundly.
The next day at noon, after lunch.
The family of four left the city. Fucheng is not big and there is nothing fun to do there.
He came in with black hair, three of them left with white hair, and the remaining one was really a bit out of place.
In the carriage, Yan Xia encouraged, "Brother, isn't your obsessive-compulsive disorder uncomfortable?"
There is a little black in the three white heads. Before, at least there were two white and two black heads that were symmetrical.
In fact, Yan Ji, who was feeling a little uncomfortable, remained silent.
As a person who has lived with his eldest brother for more than 20 years, Yan Xia immediately understood the meaning behind the silence.
He grabbed Yan Ji's hand and reached into the cage: "Come, come, come!"
In the cage, the mother and son white-feathered nine-tailed raccoon looked at the big hand reaching in, confused.
What does this mean? There is nothing to eat.
The White-feathered Nine-tailed Cat, who had long been certain that these humans had no ill will towards him, was no longer the White-feathered Nine-tailed Cat that would bite anyone it saw coming.
Now the mother and cub of the nine-tailed raccoon were very tolerant of the big hand that appeared in front of them. The nine-tailed raccoon cub even lay in the palm and rubbed it, which was so cute that everyone's heart was trembling.
It's cute, but this is not what they want.
After the white-feathered nine-tailed raccoon cub left his palm, Yan Ji changed his open hand to one with one finger standing upright.
The mother nine-tailed raccoon tilted her head as if she understood something, her big eyes flickered, it turned out that these humans liked to be bitten by her! !
Understanding this, the nine-tailed raccoon mother opened her mouth and bit a big one.
Heavy and big mouthful!!
Although it couldn't understand, it knew that these people had saved it, so it could still satisfy this small request, and even satisfy a little more, so it bit very hard.
The moment the white-feathered nine-tailed raccoon mother bit down, Yan Xia immediately heard a loud noise...
“Hiss~hiss~~~”
Yan Xia and the other two unconsciously followed suit and hissed several times. The hissing sounds came one after another, echoing in the carriage.
Yan Ji was left looking at his bleeding fingers: “…………”
Why on earth would he be so foolish as to agree to put his hand in there?!
