Xiaoxiao was fascinated by the rice popcorn, and he quickly ate all the rice popcorn in the storage bag, and then came back to chirp at Du Heng. However, Du Heng had already prepared dinner at that time, and Xiaoxiao ate five bowls of rice while thinking about the rice popcorn. Du Heng was terrified, fearing that the child would have indigestion.
But when he thought about how Xiaoxiao drank up all his rice and chicken soup for the first time, he relaxed a little. Xuanyu was a very restrained person, and he only ate three bowls. Du Heng thought that maybe the food he cooked was not to Xuanyu's taste, and when he got to the village later, he would try to find more seasonings.
After dinner, Du Heng was washing the dishes. Xiao Xiao asked for a handful of spiritual rice and squatted beside the stove. Du Heng made a small fire pit for him and he went to make popcorn for himself. Xuan Yu leaned against the wall and continued to look at Du Heng's back. Du Heng could feel Xuan Yu's focused eyes on him. To be honest, Du Heng was under a lot of pressure. Being looked at by Xuan Yu like this, he almost slipped and broke his bowl, which was not much.
The only sounds in the room could be heard: Du Heng washing dishes and Xiaoxiao's occasional exclamations.
Du Heng asked, "By the way, Xuan Yu, is there a town near the village?" Xuan Yu said, "Yes, it's quite close. Do you need anything?" Du Heng wiped his hands and smiled, "I'm about to go to your house, and I want to go to the town to see if there is anything I can buy. Especially seasonings and some daily necessities. You usually live alone, and with one more person at home, you will definitely need to buy some things."
Xuan Yu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's go to the town before we go back to the village." Du Heng blinked and said, "Why don't we go back first?" Xuan Yu said, "It's on the way."
Du Heng looked at the ox cart outside the door. Yes, with such a luxurious ox cart, it is convenient to buy things. But when it comes to buying things, Du Heng must admit one thing, he is short of money. The original owner Du Heng was an outer disciple. Although Yaowang Valley did not treat outer disciples harshly, they were still not as good as inner disciples. Most of Du Heng's savings over the years were used to buy upgraded elixirs. The reason he had five spirit stones was because he did not have time to buy bigu pills and qi training pills.
What can five spirit stones buy? They can buy a bottle of the lowest-grade Bigu Pill, a bottle of the lowest-grade Qi-training Pill, and even those slightly spiritual plants in the Medicine King Valley are not affordable. Of course, Du Heng didn't want to buy these things, but what if the prices in the demon clan's territory were particularly high?
Du Heng rubbed his hands and asked Xuan Yu: "Xuan Yu... do you have any money? I may not have enough spiritual stones. Can I borrow your spiritual stones first? Don't worry, I will definitely return them to you in the future." Xuan Yu looked a little puzzled: "I do have spiritual stones, but what do you want them for?"
Du Heng said, "I want to buy some daily necessities, but I'm afraid I don't have enough spiritual stones." Xuan Yu said calmly, "I have them, don't worry." Du Heng was relieved. He had known for a long time that Xuan Yu and Xiao Xiao's uncle were neighbors. Xiao Xiao's uncle was a rich man, so Xuan Yu wouldn't be bad either! Rich people only make friends with rich people!
At night they stayed in the oxcart. Xuan Yu said that Du Heng's simple cave could not withstand the strong wind on the mountain. Not long after dinner, they moved to the oxcart. Xiao Xiao finally gave up struggling after successfully scorching two handfuls of rice. He still opened his mouth to Du Heng.
Du Heng looked at Xiao Xiao who was covered in charcoal dust. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Xiao Xiao, do you want me to give you a bath?" Xiao Xiao shook her head in frustration. He rubbed his mouth on her body, and soon his fur returned to its golden and fluffy appearance. Du Heng magically knew that the magic Xiao Xiao used was called the Cleansing Technique. He also wanted to learn it! ! But the Cleansing Technique requires the third level of Qi training to learn, and he is not qualified to learn it yet.
There were many rooms on the oxcart, but Du Heng thought that it was not his own car, so it would not be nice to just use the owner's room, so he decided to spend the night in the living room. Xuan Yu was sitting next to the chair under the window, but suddenly he stood up: "You stay here, I'll go out for a while. Xiaoxiao, you stay here too."
Xiaoxiao chirped twice, then jumped into Du Heng's arms. Du Heng asked him in confusion, "Where are you going at this late hour?" Xuan Yu walked to the door and turned around to look at Du Heng deeply. He picked up the umbrella leaning against the door and said to Du Heng, "Be good, stay inside and don't come out."
Du Heng's face turned red. Did Xuan Yu know what he was talking about? He is a man! Why does it feel like he is coaxing me with a coaxing tone?
Xuan Yu opened the curtain and walked out. Du Heng lowered his head and asked Xiao Xiao: "Is this how Xuan Yu usually talks to his acquaintances?" Xiao Xiao looked confused, as if she didn't quite understand what Du Heng was saying. Du Heng touched Xiao Xiao's head and sighed: "Come to think of it, Xiao Xiao, what kind of monster are you? And what kind of monster is Xuan Yu?"
Xiaoxiao chirped in reply to Du Heng, but unfortunately Xuanyu was not there. Du Heng heard a lot of chirping in his head, but he didn't understand what he said. It was really embarrassing for the two of them. Du Heng rubbed Xiaoxiao's head and said, "Xiaoxiao, when you have time in the future, please teach me how to speak your language." Xiaoxiao raised his wings and patted his chest: "Chirp!"
After Xuanyu left, there was no movement outside. Du Heng couldn't help but feel a little worried. He opened the window and looked: "Why hasn't Xuanyu come back yet?" Xiaoxiao flapped her wings and a series of chirps came out. Du Heng touched Xiaoxiao's back, and he went to the door curtain to check on the cow. Unexpectedly, the cow was gone!
Du Heng was about to go down to take a look, but Xiao Xiao jumped to the ground and blocked Du Heng. Du Heng quickly understood what he meant: "Okay, okay, I won't go out."
Although he didn't go out, he was still a little worried, so he opened the curtain and sat by the door. Although it was night, the place where they stayed was covered with snow, and there was still light. It was very quiet around, and the only sound was the whistling of the wind, which made people's backs hairy.
There was a faint roar in the wind, but the wind was too loud, and Du Heng couldn't tell whether it was the wind or the roar of a monster. All he could do was hug Xiaoxiao and say, "Is Xuanyu okay?" Xiaoxiao shook her head affirmatively, "Chirp."
Du Heng waited for a long time, maybe an hour. He saw a faint blue light flying out of the clouds, and when he looked closely, it was their cow. The cow fell to the ground, panting a few times, then dug up the snow pile, ate some snow, and lay down in the snow.
Not long after, a swaying figure appeared not far away. Du Heng watched from afar. At first, the figure was quite far away, but after a while, the figure was close before his eyes. Xuan Yu walked into the light of the oxcart with an umbrella. When he saw Du Heng, he was a little surprised: "Why don't you rest yet?"
Du Heng jumped out of the car and asked, "Where did you go?" Xuan Yu did not answer the question directly. Du Heng suddenly remembered that demon cultivators all had strong personalities. Was his question presumptuous? He was a little embarrassed and said, "I... I didn't mean anything else. I was just worried about you."
Xuan Yu said: "I have old friends in Dongji Mountain. I went over to say hello to them so that the rest of the journey will be smoother." Du Heng was a little stunned when he heard this. Is it... like this?
Xuan Yu gave Du Heng a smile: "It's been taken care of, don't worry, go and have a rest." He knew how quickly Du Heng fell asleep. When he first met him, he was lying on the ground holding Xiao Xiao, defenseless against the outside world. Xuan Yu didn't expect Du Heng to wait for him specially. He couldn't tell what it felt like. Xuan Yu's heart felt a little itchy, just like after eating popcorn.
Maybe Xuan Yu said hello to his old friends in the mountains, and the rest of the trip was very quiet. The next day was uneventful. When Du Heng was bored, he looked out the window and found that the mountains he saw were getting shorter and shorter. However, after seeing Dongji Mountain, he felt that all the mountains were little brothers.
On the morning of the third day, they saw a turbulent river. The river was very wide, the kind that you couldn't see the end of. Du Heng was shocked: "What kind of river is this?" Xuan Yu stood beside him with an umbrella: "Weak Water." Du Heng asked: "Is it the Weak Water of Three Thousand Weak Waters? It is said that even goose feathers cannot cross the Weak Water?"
Xuan Yu said: "I haven't heard of such a thing, but the Weak Water can indeed drown many monsters, so it's not easy to cross." Du Heng looked at the river in front of him. It's normal for monsters to drown in such a wide surface of water. Now that they are here, how should they cross the river?
Xuan Yu called out, "Get in the car." Du Heng looked at Xuan Yu and asked, "Will our car not sink in the water?" Xuan Yu said, "This is a car frame made of golden phoenix wood, it won't sink."
What kind of wood is Golden Wu Wood? Du Heng searched through his own and the original owner's memories and still had no idea what material it was made of, but it should be very valuable, right?
Du Heng got on the cart with doubts, and heard the cow mooing loudly, and the cart slowly moved towards the turbulent water. Du Heng's heart almost jumped into his throat, and he watched the river water submerge most of the cow's body, leaving only its back exposed above the water.
As the frame entered the water, the water flowed over the wheels, rising all the way, and finally stopped more than 30 centimeters away from the door. Xuan Yu put away the umbrella and said, "The weak water is one foot away from the door, don't worry." Du Heng looked outside the door. Is this called not worrying? A wave will hit and the water will enter their room, okay?
At this time, Du Heng saw a golden barrier light up around the frame. This barrier was much stronger than the barrier supported by his simple cave talisman. The barrier was like a sphere covering the ox cart, and the water flow in the barrier was as calm as a mirror.
Du Heng let out a long sigh of relief. He had to admit that he had thought too much. There were thousands of methods in the world of cultivation, many of which he had never seen before.
Xuan Yu looked at Du Heng: "What are you thinking about?" Du Heng touched his head embarrassedly: "I think I used to be a very calm person, but since I came to Dongji Mountain, I have been startled. I have to change in the future."
Xuan Yu looked at the vast and weak water and said calmly, "You are very good, no need to change."
