Chapter 442 Can this be picked up? This?

Five years of fighting have left everyone with a heavy burden, like bamboos that gradually mature after the autumn frost.

The people of the Supreme Sect finally stood up and prepared to return to the sect.

Before leaving, they saw an excited monk push down one of the temporary defense lines built in the middle. With the collapse of the barrier, it seemed as if a wall that had been imposed on all spiritual practitioners in the past few years had also collapsed.

Several people from the Supreme Sect tacitly chose to walk slowly instead of going directly to the sect.

Together with the Tongtian Sect, they passed through a small town on the border and rested in a shed built in a shop.

"Don't look at this environment, this kind of shop can be open for so long, the taste must be good." The fat old man saw that Hou Cang's face was not good, and said.

Hou Cang glanced at the old man indifferently, and the fat old man added, "It is true that the spiritual rhyme is rare, but at this stage, you don't need to rely on food to replenish your spiritual power."

Lin Du laughed, looking at the brine meat served, and listening to the discussion of the people who were resting beside him.

"Have you heard? The war is over!"

"Well, I thought it would take decades, but it ended so quickly."

"How long will it take? You don't know how many spiritual practitioners have died. I know a family whose only son had talent and joined a large sect, but he also went to the battlefield of spirits and demons. Now he is dead or alive. I don't know how many people are like this."

"I heard it was organized by the Supreme Sect. These evil demons only eat people. Why do they have to fight a war? There are countless casualties."

"They only see the righteous and the evil, how can they see the countless bones that were caused by that sentence."

The faces of the people from Tongtian Sect were not very good, only Shengyan was still sitting still, and the people from Wushang Sect were all calm, and no emotion could be seen. Ni Jinxuan just lowered her head and kept drinking tea, and did not put the tea on the table until the rough tea bowl was empty.

At this point, the waiter in the store came out with a bowl and put the hot soup noodles and fried cakes on their table. After putting them away, the waiter turned around and passed by those tables.

"You can't say that. We weren't so peaceful before. The town next door was slaughtered by evil demons. No one was left alive. At that time, some people even cursed the big sects for being useless. Now they have killed all the evil demons, and the world is peaceful. You said that we didn't fight well and too many monks died."

The guy named the dishes quickly and spoke even more quickly.

"Anyway, everyone in our town is grateful to them." The guy grinned, "Who doesn't want to live? But at least our children won't be afraid of being eaten by evil demons all the time."

Lin Du said, "This noodle soup is good. It's been cooked all night. It's delicious."

The fat old man laughed and tried to liven up the atmosphere. "I told you!"

The people at the table picked up their chopsticks silently and ate their noodles. It was rare that they were not active.

When they were on the road again, Sheng Yan spoke, "You took them all the way through these borders just to hear these?"

Lin Du did not comment, looking at the group of fellow apprentices walking in front of him, "It's easy to be passionate, but it's hard to be calm. When you make a choice, there are always two sides. If you don't take them to see it, if they are still immersed in this resolute atmosphere of moving forward, there will be problems."

"Are you also tempering yourself?" Sheng Yan turned his head to look at her profile, "After all, in fact, a large part of that decision was made by you."

"Those who reach the sky should bear the weight of the people." Lin Du raised his eyes, "People's hearts also need to be polished. The higher the position, every decision made and every word spoken will actually bring great cause and effect, so you must be more cautious."

"If you stay in high places for too long, you will be separated from the ground, and the clouds above will inevitably cover the real ground."

This is the last lesson that Lin Du taught to this group of nephews who are about to grow up, and it is also a constant warning for herself.

Sheng Yan laughed, "So I am not as good as you."

She is so much older than Lin Du, but she is still much worse than Lin Du.

Lin Du shook his head, "It's different, the way is different, and you will also be better than me."

For example, being unrestrained, for example, forging a sharp edge.

Sheng Yan thought for a while, "But it is a blessing for Dongming Realm to have a strong person like you."

After parting with Tongtian Sect, they also went all the way to the northern border.

Hou Cang didn't know why he had to mix with the younger generation, but he followed these six people aimlessly and toured most of the border.

Until they met a dirty child on the road. The child's hair was neatly tied up with a cloth strip, but his clothes were loose. However, his face was very dark from the sun. At first glance, he looked like a little monkey.

The child was carrying a bag and seemed to be asking for directions.

"Excuse me, Immortal, does the Chunyang Sect go this way?"

The person being asked for directions was just a Qin-mind cultivator, far from an Immortal. He didn't know where the Chunyang Sect went, and the child was a little frustrated.

Several people heard at once that the child seemed to have deliberately changed his voice.

Lin Du suddenly stopped and watched the child walk towards them.

"Excuse me, masters, is the Chun Yang Sect going this way?"

Ni Jinxuan leaned forward slightly, "No, the Chun Yang Sect is still far away. You'd better go directly to a big city to see if there is a teleportation array."

The child thought about it seriously and looked at the people in front of him. He seemed a little nervous. He was holding a handful of ashes in his palm. He thought he was very hidden, but the people in front of him knew it.

"Then... how much does it cost to use the teleportation array?"

These people in the sect didn't know about this. They didn't use the teleportation array.

"This is the north. It costs about 10,000 low-grade spirit stones to get to the city near the Chunyang Sect." Hou Cang suddenly said, "It also costs 10 spirit stones to enter the city."

The child was a little embarrassed for a moment, but he forced himself to hold back, "Then, which road should I take to the Chunyang Sect?"

"It's really far, you can't get there as a child. Why do you want to go to the Chunyang Sect? To become a disciple and learn skills? I am a disciple of the nearest sect, the Supreme Sect." Ni Jinxuan said patiently.

Lin Du suddenly said, "You can get there by yourself, but we can help you get there faster."

The child was stunned for a moment, looked at the Qingyi Zhenren who had a profound aura, and swallowed the words that he could get there, "I, I want to find my father. My mother died of illness. My father is a cultivator of the Chunyang Sect, a super powerful cultivator! I want to find my father."

After listening, Yan Qing thought seriously and said, "We are all disciples of the Supreme Sect. I know a lot of people. My cousin is in the Pure Yang Sect. Tell me your father's name and I can help you notify your father."

The child was still alert. Seeing the disciple tokens on their waists that looked very valuable, he hesitated for a moment before saying his name.

Yan Qing immediately sent the sound transmission talisman.

While waiting, Ni Jinxuan gave the child the candy and snacks in the storage ring. The child refused at first, but after repeated requests, he took it in his hand and did not eat it immediately.

After receiving the sound transmission, Yan Qing activated it with his spiritual power. The child, who had just smiled, heard the extremely cruel truth.

"Ren Qiang, there really is such a person. He is an outer sect cultivator. I remember that he seemed to be very strong. He also went to the front line this time. He was originally responsible for transporting supplies, but he has been killed in a sudden attack by evil demons."

The child frowned, and after a long time, he raised his hand and wiped his eyes with his dirty hand without saying anything.

"Thank you, I know."

The child performed a somewhat rough salute and turned around to leave.

Ni Jinxuan felt a little bit sorry, "Where are you going? Is there anywhere else to go?"

The child did not say anything, but walked a few steps with his head down. When he walked far away from them, he raised his hand and punched a dead tree on the side of the road.

The dead tree snapped, revealing a huge hole, which stopped the few people who followed him.

"You have the style, I'm serious." Yuan Ye turned to look at Ni Jinxuan.

A group of people looked at the child carefully and scanned him with their spiritual sense. There was indeed nothing abnormal. Judging from his bone age, he was only eleven or twelve years old, but his bones were really extraordinary.

Hou Cang suddenly walked forward and said, "Hey, kid, I think you have good qualifications. I want to take an apprentice. Are you okay?"

The child turned his head and was obviously a little flustered. "Me?"

Hou Cang nodded, "Yes."

Yan Qing hesitated and turned to look at Lin Du, "Can this be picked up?"

Lin Du glanced at Hou Cang's back with an inexplicable expression, "Use the illusion of tracing back to the past life to check it, and then take it to the hometown to identify it. It's okay if it's confirmed to be correct." Hou Cang

's wish has been fulfilled, but people still have to live.

No matter whether the ending is to return to reincarnation or to achieve perfection in cultivation, you have to live your life first.

Hou Cang took the gray little monkey back to the sect. When he wanted to get rid of the child, the child struggled hard, and then he realized that it was a little girl.

Hou Cang ran out to find Lin Du with a cold face, but he was stunned when he opened his mouth, "It's a girl!"

Lin Du: ...

"You didn't use your spiritual sense to scan it?" Lin Du asked curiously, "You plan to accept her as your disciple without even taking a look?"

"I... I think she looks quite obvious as a boy." Hou Cang was at a loss.

"Can't you see that the kid did it on purpose? A little girl has to walk a long distance alone. In order to reduce the risk, she probably can only dress a little dirty and speak in a low voice. At least it can reduce the risk."

Lin Du did not expect Hou Cang to be so ignorant. "When I was a child, I didn't have much money and didn't dare to leave the city. In order to go to Zhongzhou for the general election, I pretended to be a skinny boy who was about to die. I had no cultivation to begin with, and I had to walk such a long way. Did I really think there were no kidnappers in Zhongzhou?"

Whether in the Dongming Realm or the modern world, it is difficult for a girl to live alone. She needs to be cautious and disguised. Only by looking difficult to mess with, or not looking like a woman, or not worth being kidnapped, can she live in peace.

Until you become strong and can ignore the hidden harm.

But even if you are weak, that is not a reason to be hurt.

But the world is like this. On the way to becoming strong, the weak still have to rely on being cautious and disguised, and take every step carefully.

Hou Cang thought about it seriously, "That's right. When I was a child, those female slaves who were kidnapped together with me were not caught and trained too often, but they seemed to be worse."

He didn't say anything, turned around and went back, "Call me when you have the formation ready."

Lin Du waited for him to walk out

before speaking, "Okay." Hou Cang turned back again, "Can you finish your sentence next time?"

Lin Du spread his hands, "You didn't ask."

Hou Cang left with a cold face and went to catch the child for a test.

No matter whether he is a man or a woman, he has to train them. Such a good seedling, it would be a waste if he didn't train it.
