Qingli didn't know the little thoughts of the two kids, and felt a little guilty for abandoning them down the mountain, so she decided to spend some time with them today.
In the end, the two of them said they wanted to study hard, locked themselves in the room, and ignored her. Qingli had no choice but to pack up her things and prepare to go down the mountain early tomorrow morning.
In the room, although Yangyang and Mengmeng are only three years old, they know quite a few words, thanks to their smart brains. They have a photographic memory and can understand many things as soon as they are told and remember them as soon as they see them.
Moreover, the two of them also learned the mysterious arts from their master. Although they only knew the basics, for them at their age, knowing the basics was already very good.
Yangyang took safety very seriously. After all, their mother and grandmaster had been nagging them about it since they were young. So if they wanted to go down the mountain, they had to be able to protect themselves.
For this reason, Yangyang began to urge his sister, his childish voice revealing a calmness that did not match his age, "Sister, don't be lazy in the future, practice hard, and read the secret book given by the master more. Otherwise, when we go down the mountain, we will encounter bad guys and be unable to beat them. The talismans you drew are of such a low level that they can't protect you at all. It will be very dangerous for us to go down the mountain. You are going to have fun and gain experience, not to die."
Meng Meng nodded reluctantly, "I know, I know. As long as you work hard to learn, your ability will increase greatly in a few days. I just feel that there is no place for you to use your skills after studying in the mountain middle school, so I'm not interested."
Mengmeng couldn't help but explain herself.
Yangyang was helpless and couldn't help but began to preach, "Learning skills doesn't mean you have to use them immediately. If you learn well, you will use them at any time in the future. If you are lazy again, I won't take you out."
Although Mengmeng is the older sister, she is very willful. On the other hand, Yangyang is more calm and steady, and is more sensible and steady in what he says and does.
Meng Meng was a little dissatisfied with her brother's serious words, but in order to get out, she just obeyed and said, "Okay, okay, I got it."
After the two of them made a plan, they went to find their master and asked him to teach them how to draw talismans.
This is relatively simple, and it is a life-saving skill.
One day passed, and at night, both children did not sleep, because they knew that their mother was leaving tonight, and they had to watch her leave so that they would know where the new exit was.
After they found out the previous exit, the master used some method to change the exit. If they wanted to get out, they had to find a new exit.
It was only until midnight that Mengmeng fell asleep.
Yangyang waited alone until he was sleepy and the sky was slightly brighter before he heard any movement.
Hearing his mother's footsteps coming towards them, Yangyang quickly lay down and pretended to sleep.
Qingli looked at the two children and whispered, "My dears, your mother went out to do something and didn't take you with her on purpose. Don't blame her. Blame your master! She gave you the task."
Qingli reached out and touched Yangyang's face reluctantly, then went to her daughter's bed, tidied up her hair, and touched her little face.
"Mom is gone, you better behave yourself."
After saying this in a low voice, Qingli turned and left.
Yangyang quickly got up and quietly followed Qingli.
Qingli was not prepared, so she didn't pay attention to anything else, and didn't realize that there was a little tail following her.
Until he saw her press the switch and leave the valley, Yangyang came out from his hiding place to check the position where his mother had just pressed the switch.
Sure enough, there was a sunken thing there, covered by some vines, so it was really hard to find.
After confirming the switch, Yang Yang 껩 did not delay any further and immediately returned the same way.
The rest were still fast asleep and no one noticed this small figure.
…
When Qingli arrived at the foot of the mountain, it was already bright. She went to the town to look for her favorite wonton stand. She planned to have breakfast first, then go to Xue Nan and the others to ask about the Jiuli Temple. After that, she had to give some silver to Lin Jiabao before continuing her business.
Qingli found the stall and ordered a bowl of wontons. Then she sat and waited, looking around.
"The wontons are here, please enjoy them, young lady."
The boss quickly brought the hot wontons. Qingli stopped looking around and started eating breakfast.
In the far corner, a few little beggars poked their heads out and looked around. When they saw Qingli, one of the beggars' eyes lit up.
"Brother Nan, what about Miss Qingli?"
Xue Nan has taken in many little beggars over the years, and his team has gradually grown. All the newcomers have seen Qingli's portrait, and Xue Nan requires them to remember Qingli's appearance, and everyone must provide convenience for Qingli unconditionally.
So even though the little beggar had never seen a green pear, his image was already deeply engraved in his mind, so he recognized it immediately.
Xue Nan assigned them tasks. Hearing this, he hurriedly looked in the direction the little beggar pointed, and there were really green pears.
Xue Nan was now a little boy. At the age of fourteen, he was almost as tall as Qingli.
He quickly told his friends what happened, then tidied himself and walked towards Qingli happily.
"Sister Li, why are you here?"
Xue Nan came to Qingli with a smile and asked.
Qingli heard the voice and looked up. The half-grown child three years ago had now grown into a teenager, with clearer facial features and a little handsome.
"Xue Nan? What a coincidence. I was thinking of going to find you after dinner, but I didn't expect you to find me first."
"Hurry and sit down."
"Boss, another bowl of wontons, please."
Qingli was very surprised to see him, and hurriedly ordered him a bowl.
Xue Nan had already eaten the buns, but he still wanted to have another meal with her, so he didn't refuse.
"Sister Li, what are you doing here this time?"
Hearing that she had just said that she was going to look for him, Xue Nan guessed that maybe she needed him for something.
Over the past few years, he had received so much kindness from Qingli, but he had never repaid her. It was great that she needed him now.
Qingli asked him, "Do you know Jiuli Temple? I want to find the abbot, Li Jiuhua."
Xue Nan knew Jiuli Temple since he was a child. It was a relatively famous Taoist temple and was said to be very accurate in fortune-telling.
"Sister Li, Jiuli Temple is a Taoist temple. The Taoist priests there are all specialized in fortune-telling. It is said that they are very accurate and quite famous. Many wealthy families know about this Taoist temple, but ordinary people don't know much about it."
Qing Li asked: "Where is this Jiuli Temple? Is he the abbot?"
Xue Nan replied: "Jiuli Temple is in Nanyang City. As for the temple master, it is said that he is very mysterious and not many people have seen him. Many people have gone to Jiuli Temple but have not seen the temple master. He does not meet people easily, so we don't know whether he is alive or not."
"But Sister Li, you can ask around, about our people in Nanyang City."
Qingli looked at him in surprise, "You are so amazing? It's only been a short time, and you have already developed Nanyang City."
Xue Nan felt embarrassed by Qingli's praise. He rubbed his head shyly and said modestly, "I'm not that great. Sister Li, you're too kind."
In fact, if it weren't for Qingli's frequent appearance here, Xue Nan was afraid that she would have already gone to Nanyang City.
Qingli praised him several times earnestly, and then said: "If Jiuli Temple is in Nanyang City, then we have to go to Nanyang City. Xue Nan, do you know how far it is to Nanyang City?"
"Sister Li, are you going to Nanyang City?"
Xue Nan's eyes lit up.
Qingli nodded, "Well, let's go find the abbot for something."
Xue Nan hurriedly said, "Then Sister Li, I'll go with you! I've always wanted to go to Nanyang City, but I don't think I want to go alone. How about I go with you? This way, I can help you get information when the time comes."
Qingli was naturally willing to go with someone she knew well, but she just said worriedly, "Can you leave? There are so many kids here and there for you to take care of."
Xue Nan nodded, "It's okay. Xiaohu and Xiaohua will watch over here."
Seeing that he really wanted to go, Qingli nodded, "Okay! Let's go together."
Seeing that she agreed, Xue Nan was very happy and said hurriedly: "Then go back and pack up, and then tell them, when are you leaving?"
Seeing how impatient he was, Qingli smiled and said, "As soon as possible! Can you arrange it?"
Xue Nan nodded repeatedly, "Okay, Sister Li, leave these things to you. You know which carriage company is the most reliable and has a reasonable price. You will arrange it."
Xue Nan is very positive.
After the two had breakfast, Xue Nan went to prepare it, and the two agreed to meet at the city gate.
Qingli also had to go see Lin Jiabao and give him some silver.
