Chapter 64 The Fragmented Taoist 26
Yan Xia was staring at the child who looked like a lucky doll in confusion.
A pair of somewhat old hands reached out, took the child away and handed over a basket.
"Oops, it's the wrong one. This is for the Taoist priests."
"My eldest grandson can't leave me alone. He insists on me holding him when we go out. He cries loudly if I don't hold him. Taoist Priest, please don't be offended."
"My dear grandson, come and say hello to the Taoist priest."
The baby, who looked like Fuwa, blinked his eyes and put his little finger into his mouth, with two drops of crystal clear saliva left at the corners of his mouth. He didn't understand what happened, but just felt that his finger was delicious.
The old woman said in a tone of disappointment: "Why don't you say anything? You Taoist priests are our saviors."
Yan Xia looked at the baby who was only three or four months old: "…………"
Wouldn't it be a bit scary if he spoke?
It can be seen that the old woman was really excited. She was so excited that she forgot that her eldest grandson couldn't speak.
In fact, everyone was in the same mood as the old woman, which led to the fact that after everyone dispersed, Yan Xia found that his family was surrounded by all kinds of agricultural products.
I was just busy putting them on the ground because I couldn't hold them all, and I didn't realize I had put so much. This is enough for them to eat for more than a month, and there may even be some left.
Su Wenyin moved her feet with difficulty. Seeing this, Sect Master Cangqi stepped forward and said, "Everyone is a little too enthusiastic. I hope the elders won't mind."
Su Wenyin nodded: "I understand."
I understand it, but I really have no place to put my feet.
Su Wenyin gave her child a look, and Yan Xia, feeling the gaze of his own mother, resigned himself to sorting and organizing the things and put them all into the ring.
In an instant, the crowded space under his feet became extra spacious. Yan Xia touched the ring on his hand, and his mind wandered to think that the storage ring was really the greatest invention in the world of cultivation, and a must-have item for home.
As he was thinking this, he heard Sect Master Cangqi say that the monsters had been dealt with. The implication of his words was that the monsters were killed by his own mother, so the things naturally belonged to them.
Yan Xia thought about the level six Ice and Fire Scarlet Eagle whose wings were as big as half a city wall when spread out, and then looked at the ring on his hand.
It can’t fit in. It really can’t fit in.
The tacit understanding between mother and son was fully demonstrated at this time. Yan Xia's thought had just come to his mind when he heard his mother telling Sect Master Cangqi that they didn't want that group of monsters anymore.
Although some of them were indeed good materials for alchemy and refining, they were just good. Besides, they had also collected so many things from the people of Ancheng.
Fearing that Sect Leader Cangshi would really prepare some thank-you gift, Su Wenyin once again tactfully expressed that they really had no place to put it.
How could an elder in the Tribulation Crossing Stage lack a storage ring to hold things? It was obvious that they were afraid that they would spend money, Sect Master Cangqi lowered his head and thought secretly in his heart. The elders were indeed as noble as the rumors said, and they were worthy of being the ones who entered the secret realm to challenge the Wuliang Ancestor as soon as they noticed the problem.
There was a hint of admiration mixed with awe on Sect Leader Cangqi's face. Although the elders said so, how could they just let go of the life-saving grace?
Sect Leader Cangqi's pupils rolled around, and he was thinking about the problem but his expression remained the same as always, as he warmly invited the elders to have breakfast.
While having breakfast, Su Wenyin told Sect Master Cangqi that she wanted to leave.
A day later, similar words and scenes were played out again. Yan Xia, sitting aside, inexplicably felt like he was watching a replay.
But there is still something different after all. This time, Sect Master Cangqi and others are more eager to keep him.
Su Wenyin pondered for a few seconds. Just in case, everyone decided to stay for one more day to prevent any blind monster from making a surprise attack, although this possibility seemed almost non-existent at the moment.
Yan Xia, of course, supports his mother's decision.
However, their worries were resolved in the afternoon.
because……
Sect Master Cangqi received the news that Feiyu Sect was going to accept them as a subsidiary sect, and the disciples who were going to present the adoption ceremony were already on their way to Anling Sect.
The largest sect in Hunyuan Continent wanted to take in their small sect as a subsidiary sect. When the news spread, Anling Sect fell into ecstasy, and the people of Ancheng were also so happy that they felt as if money had fallen from the sky.
It was even more exciting than losing money, because the money lost had to be spent alive, and they were accepted as a subsidiary sect by the largest sect, which meant that Ancheng would have a guarantee in the future.
If Ancheng encounters any crisis again, Feiyu Sect will not stand idly by and will provide support at the first opportunity, especially a crisis like today's that could destroy the city.
The result of the entire Ancheng falling into ecstasy is...
The Yan Xia family was treated like guests at home, and the young disciples looked at them as if they were looking at some bodhisattva or reincarnated living Buddha.
If a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring, Yan Xia stared at those pairs of ecstatic eyes and felt that his family of four would be drowned eight or ten times.
Sect Leader Cangqi even came specially and expressed his gratitude solemnly.
Yan Xia's family: "…………"
This matter should have nothing to do with them.
Large sects have their own assessment standards when accepting affiliated sects. They have never mentioned this matter to Feiyu Sect, nor do they have the right to do so.
Therefore, they feel unworthy of the words of thanks from Sect Master Cangqi.
Su Wenyin said truthfully that they had nothing to do with this.
But Sect Master Cangshi didn't think so. If the Feiyu Sect wanted to accept them as a subsidiary sect, why didn't they do it earlier or later, but just accepted it when several elders came to the Anling Sect?
If there really was no credit given to this by the elders, he would never believe it.
The elders said this, which was noble of them, but the Anling Sect could not take it for granted.
The Yan Xia family looked at Sect Master Cangshi in silence, as he seemed to be thinking about something.
As expected, all the cultivators in Hunyuan Continent like to imagine. Before they came out, they were still imagining what secrets they had for rapid cultivation.
In comparison, the content imagined by Sect Leader Cangqi is nothing compared to the real thing.
The Yan Xia family had no idea that Sect Master Cangqi was actually right about some of what he said.
The Feiyu Sect's plan to take in the Anling Sect as a subsidiary sect was indeed a spur of the moment idea, but not entirely.
The reason was that when Peak Master Xia Shuang received the flying message talisman from Su Wenyin, he happened to be with Sect Master Yang Yan.
Peak Master Xia Shuang was very interested in the descriptions of the various interesting customs and culture, food, and sect stories about Ancheng.
At the same time, she was puzzled. Which sect was Anling Sect? Why had she never heard of it?
Of course, if he didn't know something, he had to ask the head senior brother. However, after searching his mind for a while, Sect Master Yang Yan couldn't find any information about the Anling Sect.
But for such a small sect, several elders actually found it so interesting, so we have to investigate.
After checking, Sect Master Yang Yan found that the Anling Sect was really good. The people were simple and honest and the sect was harmonious. The only problem was that the location was a bit remote, the cultivation resources were a bit poor, and it was not a subsidiary sect of any other sect.
It would have been fine if I hadn’t discovered such a pure small sect before, but now that I know about it, Sect Master Yang Yan’s love for it suddenly rises.
So, what happened next happened.
But Yan Xia and the others didn’t know this.
Now we only know that since the people from Feiyu Sect are coming, the safety of Ancheng is guaranteed and they don’t have to stay here anymore.
Although the food here is delicious and fun, the way they look at them as if they were gods descending from earth is really hard to bear. Every time they look at them, the soles of their shoes are almost scratched to pieces.
When Yan Xia quietly told his mother that he wanted to leave, Ms. Su supported him and they immediately decided to leave quietly after tonight and before daybreak.
Anyway, I've already said my farewell words this morning, plus I've said it twice before. As the saying goes, three times is the limit, there's no need to say it a third time.
So, when the sky was about to dawn.
Yan Xia ran to the Anling Sect's stable like a thief and led out Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai. The two flying horses leaned against each other, still a little sleepy. They couldn't understand in their big eyes why they had to work before dawn, but if their master wanted them to work at the third watch, how could they delay until the fifth watch?
Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai pulled the carriage out of Anling Sect and flew up. With their Tribulation Crossing cultivation level deliberately concealed, it was quite easy for them to leave quietly.
When the carriage was flying in the air, Yan Xia suddenly found a bright spot on the ground. When he looked closely, he saw someone moving.
As they moved around, they saw four human-like creatures standing in the middle, motionless.
Yan Xia had a bad feeling in his heart, and nudged Yan Ji next to him with his elbow, motioning him to look too, to prove that he was not seeing things.
Yan Ji glanced down from the window, and Su Wenyin saw the interaction between her two children and came over to see them.
Adding two more pairs of eyes didn't change the scene on the ground. The fact is...
It seemed like the people on the ground were really...carving the statue all night long.
In the carriage, four pairs of eyes looked at each other, and no one spoke.
I really didn't know what to say, but I realized later that this was what Sect Master Cangqi had in mind before.
Yan Xia continued to glance downwards and noticed that someone was applying white paint to the hair, each person was applying it carefully with a bucket.
Yan Xia: “………………”
The silence at dawn today was so long.
If he hadn't already left, he would have wanted to go down and hold onto Sect Master Cangqi's shoulders and tell them...
There is nothing good about the big sects. Don't learn everything from them! ! They are so similar to them, and even have the potential to surpass them.
The facial features of Lingcheng's statue are not so clear, but Ancheng's sculpture is almost like copy and paste.
If you have this skill, wouldn't it be better to meditate more and practice? !
Yan Xia stared for a while, and when the scene on the ground was almost out of sight, he lowered the curtain of the window.
At the same time, he heard his own mother say earnestly: "It's better to keep a low profile in the future."
Yan Xia nodded heavily in agreement.
When the first ray of sunlight shone on the earth, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai had already flown out of the area under the jurisdiction of Anling Sect.
At the same time, Sect Master Cangqi finally discovered that several elders had quietly bid farewell.
Sect Leader Cangqi looked at the empty room, praised the elder for his noble character in his heart, and then ordered people to place the four carved statues in the most conspicuous place in Ancheng.
In this way, it will be very convenient for them and outsiders to come and worship.
The more Sect Leader Cangqi thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was a good one. After the statues were placed, he took the lead in bowing.
The young disciples and ordinary people behind him followed suit and worshipped devoutly.
The purpose is to let the parties see that three towns can be dug out on the spot.
Fortunately, several parties involved did not have the chance to see it.
---
In the following month, Yan Xia and his family traveled and stopped along the way, visiting many places in Hunyuan Continent.
This time, we adhered to the principle of keeping a low profile and nothing happened within a month.
He was just turning around and preparing to return to Feiyu Sect to participate in the exchange competition.
Nothing happened to them, but Xiaobai...
Pregnant.
Outside an inn in a small town not far from Lingcheng, Yan Xia touched Xiaobai's slightly bulging belly and said in a disappointed tone, "You haven't even brought the horse to meet the parents yet, and you're already pregnant? Where's the modesty I taught you before? Did you get pregnant?!"
I don’t know when it happened. If my belly wasn’t obviously bigger, they wouldn’t have noticed it.
If the belly is already big, then if we calculate the time, it was clearly when the two horses just got together.
It seems that Xiaobai has been carrying a baby along the way, but they don’t know it yet.
Xiaobai didn't understand what was being said, he just felt that it was quite comfortable when his temporary owner tickled his belly.
Her long eyelashes fluttered and she turned her head to try to get close.
Yan Xia put on a serious face and said, "Stand still, I'm talking to you nicely! Do you see clearly what the wild horse outside is? You are here to give birth to children for it."
The wild horse Xiao Hei didn't understand either, so he just stretched his head forward and tried to push Yan Xia's hand away, meaning that he should not touch his wife and children.
Yan Xia who was pushed away: “…………”
Are you going to rebel?!
Xiao Hei, who was walking over, gently touched Xiao Bai's belly. Within two seconds, the two horses, one white and one black, put their heads together again.
Yan Xia, who was shown off, said: “…………”
The window on the second floor of the inn opened. Su Wenyin poked her head out and chuckled, looking down at her own child on the ground: "If you are jealous, go find one yourself."
Yan Xia raised his head and looked at his mother on the second floor who had been watching him for who knows how long. He felt that she might be presbyopic, otherwise how could she see envy in his disappointed eyes?
Su Wenyin smiled brightly, not knowing that her son was making up stories about her being presbyopic. Without waiting for anyone to speak, she waved her hand and said, "Your dad wants to eat wontons from the little shop at the far east end. Do you want to eat? If you do, I'll bring you a bowl."
Yan Xia's mind was instantly filled with the fresh aroma of wontons. He turned around and walked back, looking up and saying to Su Wenyin, "I'll go by myself."
Of course this kind of thing is best eaten on the spot, and the heat is gone when you bring it back.
After a hearty meal, their plan was to reach Lingcheng in the afternoon.
So after strolling around for a while, the family set out on the journey back to Lingcheng.
According to their plan, there was plenty of time and they could walk slowly, so when Xiaobai and Xiaohei pulled out the carriage, Yan Xia took the rope off Xiaobai.
It would have been fine if I didn’t know Xiaobai was pregnant before, but now that I know, I always feel like I’m bullying the pregnant woman.
Anyway, Xiao Hei is fat and strong, so it’s no problem for him to poop by himself.
Xiao Hei had no objection to pulling the carriage himself and offered no resistance at all. He even had time to stick close to Xiao Bai.
Yan Xia curled her lips and muttered in a disdainful tone: "Too sticky."
I don't know whether Sect Master Yang Yan will be able to accept Xiaobai and his whole family after he returns.
There was a big horse beside him, two furry ones on his back, and a little one in his belly.
It can be said that he has reached the peak of his life.
Yan Xia jumped onto the carriage and patted Xiao Hei on the back. Xiao Hei responded and slowly headed towards Lingcheng.
---
In the afternoon, Lingcheng was still bustling after more than a month, even more lively than when they left.
Perhaps because the exchange competition is imminent, some impatient sects will come early, and some cultivators who are unable to participate in the exchange competition also rush to Lingcheng to watch the excitement.
There were people coming and going and the place was bustling with noise.
Although Yan Xia and his companions' carriage was luxurious, it did not stand out among the many monks coming and going.
Without attracting much attention, he blended into the crowd, but they did not notice that a young disciple of the Feiyu Sect stationed in Lingcheng saw the carriage and Xiaobai and quickly prepared to send out a flying message talisman.
But before sending it, his eyes moved back and forth between Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai and the carriage several times, as if he was confirming something. Only after he had confirmed it did he send it out.
At this point in time, and deliberately waiting at the city gate, it is self-evident who the recipient of the flying message is.
The young disciple was a little far away from them, so Yan Xia naturally didn't see him. He was even pulling at the curtain on the window and looking out.
After a month, there are many more small stalls on the streets of Lingcheng. It may be because there are many people during this period, so many ordinary people take advantage of the bustle to earn some money to supplement their family income.
Yan Xia, who had eaten casually during his lunch break, was unsurprisingly greedy. Just as he was about to get off the carriage, his mother moved first.
Su Wenyin looked outside and said, "This glutinous rice cake looks good. Let's go and take a look."
After saying that, he pulled a kid, stopped Xiao Hei, lifted the curtain of the carriage and went out.
As the one who was not dragged out, Yan Xia followed them out happily without anyone calling him.
The auntie selling glutinous rice cakes looked familiar. Yan Xia stared at her for several times before realizing that she was the auntie who sold candied haws before.
Maybe the business was good, the aunt smiled so hard that her teeth were showing. When she saw Yan Xia, she showed a surprised expression: "I haven't seen you Taoist priests for a long time. Are you back from a long trip?"
Yan Xia also showed a surprised expression. He didn't expect that the other party still remembered them. He immediately replied: "Well, I just came back. I was tempted by your glutinous rice cake."
The aunt quickly wrapped the glutinous rice cake with leaves: "The Taoist priest has a keen eye for gems. I'm not exaggerating. Our glutinous rice cake is definitely among the top three on this street. From old men in their seventies and eighties to children of two or three years old, everyone loves it very much..."
Yan Xia listened to the other party's talk with a smile. For a moment, he inexplicably felt as if he had returned to more than a month ago. While buying a candied haws, he heard this aunt talk about her hair dyeing experience.
It was unknown how many people he had said this to. Yan Xia listened to the other party's words without any stuttering and felt that this glutinous rice cake should have been sold for quite some time.
Although my aunt talks a lot, it doesn't interfere with her business.
After Yan Xia and his friends paid the money and received the glutinous rice cakes, the aunt quickly turned the conversation to the people behind them.
Yan Xia walked forward with the glutinous rice cake. The aunt's words were gradually drowned out by the crowd. She pushed aside the leaves and took a bite. His mouth was instantly filled with the aroma of rice. The aroma also had a bit of spiritual energy, which amplified the slight sweetness mixed in it. It was really delicious.
Yan Xia hadn't swallowed the glutinous rice cake in his mouth yet, and said incoherently: "Is this the rice they just harvested?"
Otherwise, there is no way to explain how there can be spiritual energy in good glutinous rice.
The one in Su Wenyin's hand was also bitten a few times. Because she had something in her mouth, she didn't say anything, but just nodded several times.
While Yan Xia was eating, he was looking around for any new food, and he found that his brother really had his portion of glutinous rice cake in his hand.
It is not bad to eat in public or amidst a large crowd of people.
Yan Xia's brother gave him a 'powerful' look.
Yan Ji glanced and said, "Look at the road."
After saying that, he pulled Yan Xia aside and avoided the children running and jumping in front.
Yan Xia raised his chin towards Yan Ji and said, "Thank you!"
Yan Ji stared at the rice grains at the corner of the other person's mouth and didn't want to say anything. Yan Xia felt his gaze, took out a handkerchief to wipe it, and in a few more bites, the whole glutinous rice cake was gone into his stomach.
Over a month’s time, many new foods appeared in Lingcheng, and the family stopped to have a look around.
Not far away, Chen Junwu and his companions, who had arrived in Lingcheng early and did not leave, were also wandering around.
During this period, they not only paid homage to the statues of several elders, but also got to know fellow Taoists from the Feiyu Sect stationed in Lingcheng. For convenience, they even bought a yard directly in Lingcheng.
Four people who have a life-long friendship live together happily every day.
Chen Junwu and his three companions are currently walking around with two of the Feiyu Sect's young disciples stationed there. There are many people in Lingcheng at this time, and the young disciples stationed there can also walk around and deal with some emergencies in a timely manner.
The group of six people had been walking around for quite a while. Just when Chen Junwu was thinking about whether he should go back to practice, he spotted four familiar faces at a corner.
Chen Junwu patted Zhang Fa's arm and said, "Look! Look! Isn't that the benefactor? Right?"
The distance was a bit far, Zhang Fa stood on tiptoe: "I think so."
Chen Junwu pulled Zhang Fa's arm and ran over there: "Let's go, let's go!!"
The two Feiyu Sect disciples next to them were puzzled: "Where are you going?"
Although they didn't understand why they had to go over there, the two of them followed without stopping.
Chen Junwu ran halfway, and when he was finally able to see the people clearly, he was about to raise his arm and wave to call for help, but suddenly he found that three very powerful-looking men had come to his benefactors.
Chen Junwu raised his hand halfway and put it down. At this time, two disciples of Feiyu Sect also rushed to the place. One of them exclaimed loudly: "Isn't this... the elders? They are back, but their hair color has changed. Do they like white now? Should I dye it white?"
The young disciple mumbled a lot, and Chen Junwu and the other three only heard one key point: "You just said... who is that?"
The young disciple didn't understand why the other party had such an expression, but he still told the truth: "Elder Ziyin, Elder Zixia and the others had been at Zhengyang Peak before, but they went out some time ago. Opposite them were our sect master and two peak masters."
Chen Junwu excitedly held the young disciple's arm and asked again, "Are you sure... those are really the four elders?!"
The young disciple raised his hand and pulled the other person's hand off his arm: "I am absolutely sure. I saw it with my own eyes during the sect master's advancement ceremony."
There was a hint of pride in his tone when he said this. After all, there were not many cultivators who had seen the elders in person. Their Feiyu Sect had the advantage of being close to the water tower. If it were in other sects, he would definitely not be able to see it given his status.
Chen Junwu did not hear the subtle pride in the other person's tone. He just felt dazed and swaying, and the three people beside him were also in a daze.
Chen Junwu stood there in a daze, his mind full of...
He had actually met the four elders a long time ago! !
They were saved by four elders! They ate from the same pot! They spent a night in the same forest!
Dad and Mom! He has made it big! The ancestors' graves are filled with smoke!
The four of them were excited for a long time before they gradually realized a problem. What did they say when they mentioned the four elders without knowing each other's identities?
It seemed like, praising the handsome, elegant and suave fairy who had descended from heaven to earth.
Then, Elder Zixia seemed to say...
Yingjun is indeed quite handsome.
Chen Junwu looked at the benefactor elders in the distance, and then looked at his friends nearby who were thinking about the same problem as him.
The four of them were a little unable to react. So the elders... are they like this?
