Zhou Yuanyuan was kidnapped by Wen Ziqing and was planning to stay in Zhaojiagou for a few days. However, Zhou Yuanyuan was afraid that General Zhou and his men in Kyoto would worry, so before leaving for Zhaojiagou, she released a paper crane as a message.
Taoshu Village is too remote. If you walk step by step like a normal person, it will take at least fourteen hours to get from Taoshu Village to Zhaojiagou.
Of course, Zhou Yuanyuan and Wen Ziqing would not be so stupid. The magical powers of the cultivators are not for show. They found an empty hillside and Zhou Yuanyuan used a magic trick to "shrink the earth into an inch". In one step, she came from Taoshu Village to the vicinity of Zhaojiagou.
Why was it near Zhaojiagou instead of going directly to Zhaojiagou? Ahem...Okay! Zhou Yuanyuan was afraid that her sudden appearance would scare the villagers of Zhaojiagou, not that she didn't know how to handle the situation.
"Flutter..." As soon as Zhou Yuanyuan and Wen Ziqing's feet landed on the ground, they heard the sound of flapping wings.
Zhou Yuanyuan and Wen Ziqing followed the sound and both laughed.
I was just saying that after arriving at Zhaojiagou, I would go to Daqing Mountain to catch grouse! As expected, Daqing Mountain was right at my feet, and the grouse were right before my eyes.
This plump grouse would never understand until its death how two monks had targeted it the moment it flew back to its nest. Wen Ziqing didn't even need to throw a stone this time. With a wave of his hand, he unleashed a circular stream of air that wrapped around the grouse's neck. As soon as it tightened, the grouse died instantly.
Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't help but smile as she watched Wen Ziqing pick up a grouse and stuff it into a palm-sized brocade pouch. A storage bag! She hadn't expected the Yushan Sect to offer such generous perks. Not only did they give out beauties (He Jingjing), but they also gave out cultivation resources (storage bags). Even disciples like her brother, who had only been here two years, weren't left out. Unlike a "casual cultivator" like her, treasure hunting depended entirely on luck.
If Chaos Pearl knew Zhou Yuanyuan was thinking this, it would be furious. What's a small storage bag? It's a magical treasure with its own space! Space! How can a low-level magic weapon like a storage bag compare to it?
Zhou Yuanyuan had guessed wrong. Wen Ziqing's storage bag wasn't standard sect equipment; it was acquired from the Taoist Baopu. When the Taoist Baopu took over Wen Ziqing's body, he was destroyed by Wen Ziqing, and everything he owned naturally became his. Within the Yushan Sect, the Taoist Baopu was considered a wealthy cultivator, arguably even the wealthiest. His centuries-long tenure as the head of the Yushan Sect wasn't for nothing. Upon meeting Wen Ziqing, a novice cultivator, he assumed all cultivators were of similar means, and so forgot to "offer" his storage bag to his future wife.
"Yuanyuan, what are you laughing at?" Wen Ziqing saw Zhou Yuanyuan laughing mischievously and wondered what was wrong with him.
"Look, Brother Ziqing, Zhaojiagou is at the foot of the mountain!" Zhou Yuanyuan was embarrassed to say that she was jealous of Wen Ziqing's storage bag, so she had to point to the small village at the foot of the mountain and said to Wen Ziqing.
Looking down from the hilltop where Zhou Yuanyuan and her friends stood, at the foot of the mountain lies the Zhaojiagou village she longed for. Looking at this tranquil little village, Zhou Yuanyuan felt a surge of emotion. It was in Zhaojiagou that she made her first lifelong friend, Xiaocao, and where she also learned Zhao Yunxiang's first money-making skill: making fish balls.
Ten years later, those memories have become fond memories for Zhou Yuanyuan. Over the years, she's been busy in Kyoto, attending school, and running missions for the Special Operations Team. She's always dreamed of returning to this simple little village, or perhaps staying at her grandfather's house for a few days. Just looking at the green mountains and clear waters would be enough to relax and unwind.
For Wen Ziqing, Zhaojiagou is a place of special commemorative significance.
It was in Zhaojiagou that Wen Ziqing first met Zhou Yuanyuan. Having just been reborn, he was deeply moved upon seeing the living Zhou Yuanyuan and Zhou Jiasheng.
It was also in Zhaojiagou that Wen Ziqing decided to tie his life to Zhou Yuanyuan. Wen Ziqing still remembers when Zhao Qingshan said in all seriousness that the Zhao family's martial arts wouldn't be passed down to outsiders and asked Wen Ziqing to be his grandson-in-law. Wen Ziqing's first thought wasn't the joy of learning the Zhao family's martial arts, but the thought of becoming Zhou Yuanyuan's fiancé. His heart was filled with joy.
The days he spent living in Zhaojiagou were his fondest memories, aside from those of Zhou Yuanyuan. Seeing Zhaojiagou not far away, Wen Ziqing longed to revisit the place and experience the warmth of that small farmyard once again.
"Brother Ziqing, let's catch two more pine needles! Give one to Uncle Tian's family and one to Xiaocao as well." Within a few seconds, Zhou Yuanyuan planned the two people she would visit after returning to the village.
Zhao Qingshan's old house is still in Zhaojiagou. Zhaojiagou is Zhao Qingshan's roots, and Zhao Youtian is the village chief of Zhaojiagou. Zhou Yuanyuan returned to Zhaojiagou and couldn't just pretend that they didn't exist. She had to leave some favors, as she hoped to see them again in the future! Zhou Yuanyuan wasn't a real sixteen-year-old girl; she knew a little about the ways of the world.
Zhao Xiaocao was Zhou Yuanyuan's childhood playmate. She hadn't seen her for many years and she missed her. Unfortunately, she came back in a hurry this time and didn't have time to bring anything. It was New Year's Day and the shops in the town were closed, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to shoot two grouse as gifts.
"Okay." Wen Ziqing had the final say anyway, so after hearing what Zhou Yuanyuan said, he decided to be responsible for looking for grouse nests everywhere.
Wen Ziqing didn't use his spiritual sense either. After all, they came to Zhaojiagou to have fun and were not in a hurry. It wouldn't make any difference if they played in Daqingshan for a while longer.
Daqing Mountain is truly full of treasures. Not only are there grouse, but Zhou Yuanyuan also discovered an old ginseng.
After Zhou Yuanyuan and Wen Ziqing carefully dug up a ginseng root and shot five grouse, a sporeling, and a sika deer, they realized they had spent the night in Daqing Mountain. That was the good thing about cultivating immortals: for Zhou Yuanyuan and the others, it made no difference whether it was day or night.
Zhou Yuanyuan and Wen Ziqing were preparing to go down the mountain when suddenly, a fierce voice drifted into Zhou Yuanyuan's ears on the wind.
"Are you serious? Can you really make a fortune? If you're playing tricks on us brothers, imagine the consequences."
Zhou Yuanyuan frowned and looked around, but didn't see anyone.
"Boss Huang, believe it or not, I'm just telling you a way to make money. It's up to you whether you do it or not." Another voice came over with the wind. Zhou Yuanyuan was stunned. Why did this voice sound familiar to her?
"Okay, I'll call a few brothers over to Tiger Ditch in three days. We'll meet there." It was the same fierce voice. After that, the two of them said nothing more. Zhou Yuanyuan only heard one person's footsteps gradually fading away, and the other's footsteps approaching Zhou Yuanyuan and the others.
