Chapter 104: The Demonic Village
Fu Ning returned to the yard and saw Weifeng and Xiaoya. They had obviously been well taken care of. Xiaoya had even grown two more tails and had now become a five-tailed Luwu.
When they saw Fu Ning, they excitedly pounced on her and rubbed against her. Xiaoya kept howling, without any special meaning, just expressing excitement. Weifeng was much more restrained. It just walked up to Fu Ning, growled a few times, and asked her why she had been in seclusion for so long.
Fu Ning avoided the gaze with a guilty conscience. She herself didn't know that she would be in seclusion for so long. She had planned to be in seclusion for five to ten years, but who knew that fifty years had passed in a flash. Fortunately, she still gained a lot. During this period, she broke through from the Golden Core Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage, and then to the God Transformation Stage. Now she has reached the beginning of the Cave Void Stage. If Bai Yuchen hadn't come in to make trouble, she might have been in seclusion for a longer time, maybe even until the Mahayana Stage.
This is the advantage of the Chaos Spirit Root. Because it does not have any attributes, there will be no restrictions when absorbing spiritual power. The spiritual power of various attributes in the world can be used for one's own benefit. There is almost no bottleneck period in cultivation, and it will not be difficult to break through after reaching a certain realm like other cultivators.
Fu Ning scratched the back of Weifeng and Xiaoya's necks respectively, and after the two Luwu were satisfied, he said, "I have to go out for a while. Who of you wants to go with me?"
Xiaoya actually wanted to go very much, but because he had less tail than Weifeng, he had no right to speak and looked at Weifeng cautiously.
Weifeng hadn't seen his master for so long, so he naturally wanted to go with him. However, he had followed his master for many years, and Xiaoya was still young, so he might not be able to stand such a separation. Therefore, he looked at Xiaoya and ordered, "You go."
Xiaoya jumped twice excitedly on the spot, then lay down and waited for Fu Ning to come up.
Fu Ning skillfully rode on Xiaoya's back. When it stood up, he felt that it had grown a lot bigger than before.
She followed the navigation given by the system to the new address of the Thirty-Eight Villages. This place was actually not far from the human world, and the living customs were the same as those in the human world. She probably wouldn't need too much time to readapt to living here.
She didn't expect Chongshan to be so thoughtful that he would even consider the people in the village.
She recognized the Thirty-Eight Villages in the forest at a glance. It seemed that only the location had changed, while everything else remained unchanged. Even the entrance to the mountain was exactly the same as before.
She rolled down from Xiaoya's back and walked into the village. A few aunties who were chatting outside spotted Fu Ning and immediately surrounded her to ask questions. Fu Ning carefully identified them and found that they should be people of her mother's generation, but they all looked younger than their age. Several people said one after another: "Oh, we still have to thank Xiao Jing. He taught us some methods of cultivation and told us that everyone had to reach the foundation-building stage. At the beginning, we didn't understand these things. Later, he told us that cultivation can strengthen the body and defeat those annoying monks, so we started to practice. I didn't expect that there are so many benefits. The sore waist and legs after a day of farm work are gone, and people are getting younger and younger."
Fu Ning looked at their happy life, and her heart felt warm as if the sun was shining into it. It was also as if someone was gently caressing her, giving her a solid sense of security.
She knew that part of this sense of security came from the mountains.
Fu Ning listened to the aunts talking for a long time before he finally had the chance to ask, "Where are my mother, Ah Cai, Yun Lan, and Xiao Dan?"
Several aunts rushed to say, "You can go up. The layout is almost the same as before. The village chief and Ah Cai are much stronger than before. Yunlan has made great progress. She has found a master and is going out to practice. As for Xiaodan..."
The aunt who was speaking paused for a moment, "Didn't you see her in the Demon City? She married Qi Ye and lived in the Demon Lord's palace."
Fu Ning was so shocked when he heard this, "Xiao Dan is actually married!"
"Of course not. You've been gone for fifty years, and not only have you gotten married, you've also had two children."
Fu Ning said to the system in his heart: "Why do I feel like I'm in another world?"
System: “Your feeling is correct.”
She really wanted to go back and take a good look at Xiaodan. She still remembered that she had asked her and Song Jinghe to have children, and now she had two children.
Fu Ning said goodbye to a few aunts and continued walking. Sure enough, this place was almost exactly the same as the Thirty-Eight Villages before. She recognized her mother's yard effortlessly. Separated by a wall from the village chief's yard was the yard where she and Song Jinghe lived, which was also exactly the same as before.
She walked into the yard and saw a strange woman, but she seemed familiar. The two looked at each other, and the woman turned and ran into the house, shouting, "Mom, a stranger broke in!"
Fu Ning wiped the sweat off his forehead. How come he was treated as a stranger when he returned home?
At this time, a woman in her thirties or forties walked out of the house. Fu Ning recognized her. This was her sister. The young woman just now was actually her niece who was still a baby back then.
Her sister saw that she was stunned for a moment, and quickly walked over to hug her, "You didn't even tell us about such a big thing as the retreat, and actually asked Xiao Jing to tell us. You have always had a lot of ideas since you were young."
Fu Ning hugged her sister back with some guilt. After a while, she saw her mother and A Cai walking out of the house. They had both grown older, with more obvious wrinkles on their faces.
Fu Ning's eyes were sore and he even wanted to cry. Ah Cai had already started crying and followed her sister to hug Fu Ning, "You finally came out. I was afraid that we would never have the chance to meet again in this life!"
In fact, Fu Ning was also afraid. If Chongshan hadn't brought them to the demon world, they might never see each other again in this life. She promised in a low voice: "I won't do this again in the future. If there is anything, I will tell you in advance."
The mother seemed calmer. She said to Fu Ning, "Stay for a few days."
Fu Ning stayed at home as she was told, but as she stayed there she suddenly wanted to see Chongshan.
She asked the system to give her Chongshan's location, and found that it was not far from the current Thirty-Eight Villages, and was located in the border area of the Demon Realm. After she talked to Acai and the others, she went there according to the location given by the system.
On the way, she suddenly thought of something, "It seems that Yin Huayue encountered danger in these years, right?"
In the original book, the cultivation world gradually felt the threat from the demon world and sent several groups of cultivators to the demon world to inquire about the situation. Yin Huayue was the second group to arrive, but there was a traitor infiltrated their team, so they were all captured and locked up in the dungeon of Qi Town. The cultivation world then selected several cultivators with cultivation above the Nascent Soul stage to rescue them, and Yan Qu was one of them. He rescued Yin Huayue in the dungeon, which rekindled her long-lasting love.
However, Sun Huchang did not die this time. Even if Yan Qu saved Yin Huayue, the possibility of her being moved was very slim. It would be better for him to seize the opportunity to save her and let her help him refine a weapon.
The system asked in confusion: "Boss, when you were the Immortal Lord, didn't you have a Heavenly Grade weapon?"
Fu Ning sighed, "Yes, I did, but they were turned into ash along with me by the thunderbolt. I do have some weapons in another secret realm, a bow and arrow, and a spear, but I am not good at using them, and if I have to take them out, they are just for display."
system:"……"
It just quietly acted as a navigation system. It looked at the small dot representing the mountain and said, "Hey, that's not right, sir. The evil god is moving."
Fu Ning: “?”
——
A baby spoon landed on the window frame of Bao's mansion, with a small bamboo tube tied to its legs. Chongshan knew that the baby spoon had flown from the Demon City and was most likely news about Fu Ning. He put down the pen in his hand, took the paper ball off the baby spoon, unfolded the paper, and gradually frowned. Bai Yuchen actually broke into the place where Fu Ning was in seclusion and even wanted to kill her. Fortunately, Fu Ning was not injured. After returning to her yard, she took Xiaoya to the new address of the Thirty-Eight Villages.
Chongshan's brows relaxed when he saw the end. Since Fu Ning had returned home, it meant that nothing happened. He imagined her surprised look when she saw the new Thirty-Eight Villages, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.
This was what Xiang Ze saw when he came in. He was Chongshan's elder, so he was not afraid of him like the others. Instead, he joked, "What made you laugh like this? Could it be that something happened to Fu Ning?"
Unexpectedly, Chongshan nodded.
"Really?" Xiang Ze sighed, "She finally came out of seclusion. I have rarely seen a Jindan stage cultivator in seclusion for such a long time. I wonder what her cultivation level is now."
Chongshan said, "I want to go see her."
Xiang Ze had an expression as if he was facing a formidable enemy. "You can't leave now. It won't be too late to go see her after your power here is stabilized. Anyway, you have already waited for fifty years. What's there to wait for a few more months?"
Chongshan glanced at him resentfully, shook his head and said, "I can't wait any longer. I'm even more anxious."
Xiang Ze had a headache. "Okay, you must come back within a day."
Chongshan immediately stood up and began to pack his bag. Xiang Ze stroked his forehead and said, "Since you interrupted me, I almost forgot why I came to see you. Qi Town has recently captured five or six cultivators from the Twelve Immortal Mountains. Their cultivation is not low. What are you going to do with them?"
Chongshan said coldly without blinking, "Take them to the dungeon of the Demon Palace and lock them up. They can be used to contain the old guys in Xianshan."
"Okay." Xiang Ze originally thought so, but he still needed the Demon Lord to make the final decision.
Chongshan packed his bag quickly. He also had a Luwu, but it would be easy to expose his identity if he rode it. He could only borrow Xiang Ze's Luwu, and while it was getting dark, he traveled under the moonlight. He finally arrived at the gate of the Thirty-Eight Villages in the dark night.
The man on guard in the tower was drowsy and didn't see Chongshan riding in on Luwu.
Chongshan did not wake her up. As long as he was in the mountain village, it would be safe.
He guessed that Fu Ning must be sleeping at his mother's house, so he went straight back to the yard next door. When the village was rebuilt at a new address, he specifically told the builders not to forget this yard. This used to be Fu Ning and his home, but Fu Ning seemed to be less and less willing to come back here.
He pushed open the door and it creaked slightly. The furnishings inside were arranged exactly the same as before at his request. He walked into the inner room, wanting to rest for a while and go see Fu Ning early tomorrow morning. Unexpectedly, there seemed to be someone on the bed and the quilt was bulging.
Is Fu Ning resting here? Chongshan suppressed his excitement and walked to the bed, but he did not see Fu Ning's head sticking out. He was worried that Fu Ning had a bad sleeping posture and was suffocating under the quilt, so he reached out and gently lifted a corner, only to find that something was wrong and there seemed to be no one inside.
He simply lifted the quilt and saw two pillows piled on top of each other.
Chongshan was a little amused and confused. Who had arranged the quilt like this, causing him to be so happy for nothing?
He sighed and made his bed.
"Are you looking for me?" A clear female voice suddenly sounded behind me.
