Chapter 309 I Just Happened to Be Passing By
No parent can resist the charm of this sentence.
Praising children is always effective.
These words really touched the heart of the patriarch.
Meng Changxian also said that he wanted to become an immortal.
But the resources needed to cultivate immortality are too many.
An ordinary repair pill, when converted into food, oil, and salt, is enough for an ordinary family to live on for half a year.
He can't afford it.
Besides, he can't be partial.
If he sent Meng Changxian to cultivate immortality, the other thirteen children could not be left behind.
There are also the older Yan Nanbei.
I have owed you too much over the years.
Therefore, the head of the family just wants to live an ordinary and stable life.
It’s not that I don’t want to be famous in Nanmu Country, but there are too many limitations.
Now, Ye Xingzhou has put this condition out in the open.
The only thing he wanted was to exchange it for a wooden box.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't moved.
He is about to grow old and be buried under the earth with the setting sun.
We cannot just say 'it's for the good of these children that we don't let them spread their wings'.
This is no different than locking a bird in a cage.
These children are like birds, and they will eventually have the drive to leave the nest and soar into the sky.
The outside world is full of crises.
But the wilderness is free.
If you set out with courage, why fear the crisis?
The owner of the house pondered for a long time, "Mr. Ye, sir, what is the use of taking the things in the box?"
Since it is an evil thing, he certainly cannot entrust it to others casually.
What if it is used for something bad?
Ye Xingzhou didn't hide anything and said bluntly, "Take it back and seal it."
Ye Xingzhou even made a vow to his inner demons right then and there.
The head of the family finally compromised, "Master, please follow me."
Ye Xingzhou: "Just call me by my name."
The head of the family shook his head, "Your Excellency is of noble status, I cannot address you by your name."
Since the head of the family insisted again and again, Ye Xingzhou did not force anyone to change.
Meng Qianhan has always wanted to find the key to open the wooden box.
The wooden box also contains the opportunity for mortals to become gods.
Ye Xingzhou had a suspicion.
Inside the wooden box is the demon summoning scroll.
The basis for suspicion is the statue of childbearing that was previously in Xicheng.
At that time, the city lord shouted that he would become a god in one step and become one with the evil things.
Later, it was sealed using the Demon Summoning Scroll.
The wooden box guarded by the Meng family is most likely related to the Demon Summoning Scroll.
After sending the children away, the head of the family brought Ye Xingzhou to the big banyan tree in the courtyard.
The head of the family measured the direction.
"Master, let me do it."
Yannanbei took the hoe from the head of the family.
The hoe was swung down and the soil was gradually turned over.
Ye Xingzhou asked, "Master, may I ask about the origin of the wooden box?"
The sound of a hoe shoveling the soil mixed with the voice of the owner of the house answering.
"I used to hear elders say that the Meng family had an ancestor who cultivated immortality, and the wooden box was left behind at that time, and has been passed down from generation to generation."
Ye Xingzhou pressed on, "Do you know the sect and its name?"
"I don't know, but I can look up the family tree. Please wait a moment, my lord."
The head of the family stood up and walked towards the low house.
Ye Xingzhou shifted his gaze.
He asked this question because if the wooden box really contained the demon summoning scroll.
The ancestor of the Meng family might be the senior in the sitting meditation formation.
And now Ye Xingzhou has seen four sitting and passing away formations.
At the bottom of the endless abyss, in the Tianji secret realm, under the glacier of the ghost city in the ghost world, there is the Chaoxi Mountain in Xicheng.
Among the four sitting formations, Ye Xingzhou already knew the names of the last two seniors.
Ghost Xinlan, Yue Qianpan.
The ancestor of the Meng family was most likely one of the seniors in the first two sitting-in-pass-away formations.
Choose one of the two.
Can't choose.
Ye Xingzhou held up his face and looked at Yan Nanbei digging a hole with boredom.
Xiang Xiuyuan accepted the inheritance in the Tianji Secret Realm, but the senior did not mention his name.
Ye Xingzhou only got the portrait from Xiang Xiuyuan.
The portrait was given to Chao Fuyun, but I don’t know if he found any information.
Could these seniors be from the Zhiyang Sect?
Ye Xingzhou scratched his chin.
The disappearance of the Zhiyang Sect was so bizarre that there was no trace left. If Ye Xingzhou had not met Mei Xuanying, he would not have known about this sect.
Just as he was daydreaming, the hoe suddenly hit something hard with a click.
Yan Nanbei raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead, jumped into the half-person-high pit, and took out the wooden box from the pit.
The wooden box was about as long as my forearm and gave off a chill in the sunlight.
Yan Nanbei wiped the mud off the wooden box with his hands and handed it to Ye Xingzhou.
"Sir, please take a look."
Since the head of the family changed his words, he had to change his words as well.
The wooden box was wiped clean.
Ye Xingzhou looked up and saw Yan Nanbei covered in sweat, his collar was wet and there was a little mud on his cuffs.
With his sleeves rolled up, his wheat-colored arms were covered with firm muscles.
Ye Xingzhou almost blurted out "Uncle Yan".
I was so used to following Meng Zhi's calls that I almost forgot that my age was not much different from Ye Xingzhou's.
"Thanks, Yanzi."
No matter how nice the name is, it has a strong local flavor when it comes out of Ye Xingzhou's mouth.
When Yan Nanbei heard this address, he was stunned for a moment, "Sir, just call me by my name."
Ye Xingzhou: "Okay Yanzi, got it Yanzi."
Yan Nanbei was speechless, "I'll go see the Patriarch."
"Yanzi, don't go."
When Ye Xingzhou shouted, even the strongest man had to pick up his hoe and go to the fields.
Rural men's literature has also been rectified.
Yan Nanbei put down his hoe with his arms stiff, "Sir, what else do you want me to do?"
Ye Xingzhou smiled and said, "Want to practice?"
Yan Nanbei was stunned for a moment, "Sir?"
Ye Xingzhou was talking nonsense, using the same rhetoric skillfully.
"I can tell from the first glance that you are something special. You will definitely achieve great things in the future."
"There's an opportunity to practice right here. What do you think? Do you want to give it a try?"
Yan Nanbei lowered his eyes, "Sir, don't make fun of me."
"You and the Patriarch just said the same thing."
Ye Xingzhou was a little surprised, "No, why are you still eavesdropping?"
"I wasn't eavesdropping." Yan Nanbei shook his head, "I just happened to be passing by."
Look at what he said.
Ye Xingzhou put his hand on Yannanbei's shoulder and was about to pat him when he took a step back and dodged.
"Sir, I'm all sweaty and dirty."
Ye Xingzhou said earnestly, "Yanzi, do you believe me?"
Yan Nanbei pursed his lips and said, "I don't quite believe it."
He looks too much like a charlatan who is deceiving and deceiving others.
Whether it is the words or the expression.
With the tricks Ye Xingzhou just said, Yan Nanbei was about to pick up his hoe and chase him away.
But he really has some skills.
Yan Nanbei would not question the decision of the head of the family.
When Ye Xingzhou heard Yan Nanbei's honest answer, he immediately raised his voice.
"Believe it or not."
Yannanbei was stunned, thinking that Ye Xingzhou was angry.
The next second, Ye Xingzhou smiled and winked at him.
"Just trust me. I'm actually a mathematical mathematician."
“…”
He changes his face at will.
Yannanbei could hardly cope with the work done by Ye Xingzhou.
In the past, Yan Nanbei had seen that all the cultivators passing through Nanmu Kingdom had an immortal look.
No one is as good at making things happen as Ye Xingzhou.
Yan Nanbei nodded silently.
It doesn't seem like a letter, it seems like a compromise.
Ye Xingzhou raised his eyebrows, "Come and sit here, Yanzi. You're so distant, are you afraid that I'll eat you?"
"I'm dirty." Yan Nanbei said.
"Where is it dirty?"
As Ye Xingzhou finished speaking, the sweat and dirt on Yannanbei's body disappeared instantly, and he was clean from head to toe.
Ye Xingzhou poured out a cup of tea and placed it on the stone table.
Then he raised his eyelids and looked at the people.
Yan Nanbei suddenly felt a little nervous when he was being stared at.
"You seem to be frowning all the time."
Ye Xingzhou held up his face and said, "From the first time I saw you."
