Son-in-law [Cultivator]

While the two were in a daze, they heard an embarrassing "grunt" sound, which broke the silence. It was the protest of the child's stomach due to hunger.

The child tightly covered his stomach with both hands, and blushed: "...Master Immortal, can you wait for me...I, I'll go dig some wild vegetables!" He followed Jiang You all the way, eating only sporadic wild vegetables and young trees. bud.But this place is barren, even if his appetite is small, he has never filled his stomach at all.

Jiang You shook his head and said, "No need to bother."

He was going to take out a Bigu Pill for the child to eat, but he found a few boxes of Ming Yan's favorite osmanthus cake in the ring.For some reason, or because this child was too much like Ming Yan, he took out a box of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes in a daze, twisted a piece and handed it to the child: "...Eat it."

"What is this?" The child's eyes were completely attracted by the golden, fragrant pastry. He subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but held it carefully with both hands.After Jiang You signaled him to eat it, he hesitated and took a small bite.

Just a small sip, and your mouth will be filled with the sweet and fragrant sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice!The child chewed the taste reluctantly, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "This, this is delicious! It's so delicious!"

Both of his eyes glowed green, and he grabbed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake with both hands and stuffed it into his mouth.Even though the mouth was very small, two pieces were stuffed into it forcefully, so that the cheeks were bulging, as if they were about to burst.

Since the demons invaded decades ago, half of the mainland of Kyushu fell, and all the places where the demons passed by were reduced to the land of Shura.People are precarious and displaced, and there is no such exquisite food in the streets and alleys.

... The child's memory is still fresh. The last time he ate something delicious that he couldn't bear to swallow, it was when they caught a first-order juvenile cunning rabbit monster.This monster was boiled into a big pot of soup, shared by more than ten people, and there was only a very small piece of meat in each person's bowl.Although it was overcooked and fragmented, it was a delicacy he would never forget.

But now, the fragrant and sweet food he ate completely overwhelmed the desire for that meaty taste in his memory.Even after the demons faded away, this kind of pastry has gradually become the most common snack in the Kyushu continent for a long time.But in his memory, the pastry that he tasted when he was the hungriest is a wonderful taste that never fades.

Although it was delicious, he ate it too fast and the sweet-scented osmanthus cake was too dry, and the child soon choked on it.The whole little face was flushed red, and he beat his chest desperately, so uncomfortable that he almost couldn't breathe.It was Jiang You who condensed another water polo, which made him barely swallow it.

After this came out, the child felt ashamed and stopped gorging.He ate the remaining sweet-scented osmanthus cake in small bites, which was much more refined than before.Xu Shi remembered that Jiang You didn't eat anything, so he even grabbed a piece and handed it to Jiang You on tiptoe, happily saying, "It's delicious! Immortal Master, you can eat too!"

Jiang You stared blankly at the joy and satisfaction in his eyes.

After a long time, just when the child worried that the immortal master disliked his dirty hands and hesitated whether to take back the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Jiang You just bent down in a daze and ate it.

The child looked at Jiang You, and felt an indescribable satisfaction in his heart.

After eating four pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, the child burped.Seeing this, Jiang You took back the remaining half box with his eager eyes: "You have been hungry for a long time, you can't eat too much at once, I will give you the rest next time." Yu Ba then said: "We let's go."

There is no need to waste any more time, Ming Yan still does not know where he is, waiting for him in pain and hope.

"Master Immortal, where are we going?" the child asked obediently with his small face up.

"Look for someone." Jiang You only glanced at him, then looked away from him, "You don't have to call me like that, I'm not some kind of fairy teacher."

"Ah..." The child was startled.Because he was homeless since he was a child, he was very sensitive to the emotions of others, and he fully felt Jiang You's depression at the moment.So he thought that he was upset by himself, and hurriedly said, "Yes, I'm sorry... I didn't mean it! Please fairy master, no, please forgive me..."

"It's not your fault." For some reason, seeing him like this, Jiang You subconsciously stretched out his palm and patted his head, his face softened, "People like us are collectively called cultivators. And I Cultivation is only at the golden core stage, and the distance from the 'immortal master' is far away... let's go, I will talk to you slowly about these things."

After saying that, he took the child's hand and walked slowly outside.

The child's hands were a little cold, because they were skinny and not soft.Jiang You held it gently, feeling sore in his heart.

... In my memory, what I hold should be a pair of warm and soft hands that will hook myself and my fingers.

Where is Mingyan?

Hearing Jiang You's explanation, the child let out a sigh of relief.He carefully looked up at Jiang You, looked at his handsome side face, and said hesitantly: "Grandpa Wang and the others said that anyone who can fly around in the sky and kill those terrible demons will be killed." It's an immortal master..."

Jiang You smiled noncommittally: "What's your name, is Grandpa Wang your grandfather?"

The child stared at the smile for a moment and was stunned.It took a while to come back to his senses, lowered his eyes and said sadly: "No, Grandpa Wang is not my grandfather... I, I don't have a name, they all call me San'er." He has never seen his parents since he was born. I don't know who my last name is.Maybe they didn't want him anymore, or he had already died at the hands of those cruel demons.

Jiang You looked down at him.

From this angle, he could only see the child's withered yellow hair and thick eyelashes, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he said, "... If you don't mind, I will call you Yan An from now on."

He paused, and then said: "This name originally meant peace and happiness." But now, it is natural to pray for Ming Yan.

Yan An raised his head suddenly.

He looked up at Jiang You, his dark eyes clearly reflected his figure: "It sounds good! I like this name!"

Jiang You twitched the corner of his mouth slightly.

They had already walked out of this area, but found no trace of Ming Yan's existence, so they could only continue to search.But at this moment, more than a dozen figures quietly appeared not far away, meeting them unexpectedly.

This team of monks is at the Nascent Soul Stage, followed by all Jindan monks.But no matter who they are, their aura is like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, cold and harsh.

Jiang You pulled Yan An behind him, and saluted the leader vigilantly: "Fellow Taoists, what are you doing?"

It was a middle-aged monk with a solemn expression.Although they confronted him at a distance, they didn't have too much malice - if they wanted to attack them secretly, even if it was just Jiang You alone, they might not be able to escape unscathed.

The Nascent Soul cultivator frowned: "What's your name? Why did you bring this child from the ruins?" The area was obviously abandoned by the cultivator because it was infested by the demonic turbidity. It was really suspicious to see a child coming out of there.

Jiang You replied: "My name is Jiang You. The reason why I came from there...is because I saw a Mozu man arrest this child. I killed the Mozu and saved this child."

After finishing speaking, the child who clearly looked frightened also stuck out his head, nodding his head like a pounding garlic.

Jiang You... frowned for the head monk Nascent Soul, there is no monk with this name in their area.From this point of view, it came from another area.

In the past few years, as the war has penetrated into every corner of the Kyushu continent, few monks have come from other places, and their fighters have become less and less, and it has become more and more difficult to compete with the demons.Now is the time when there is a shortage of people, why not take this person back to investigate as usual, and if there is no problem, send him to the battlefield.

The two sides talked for a while.

With the intention of looking for Ming Yan, the two sides reached an agreement temporarily, and Jiang You and Yan An were brought back to the station like this.

Along the way, Jiang You learned information about this continent from his fellow Golden Core monks without making a fuss.But it was beyond his expectation: the name of this middle-level continent is Xiaoyuanzhou!

He met Yu Tianyuan around Weihai City in Yunyuzhou, and was sent here by Zhulonglin and Shanhe Shejitu.But this place is not Yunyuzhou 2000 years ago, but Xiaoyuanzhou? !

Jiang You was shocked.

He suddenly remembered that he had seen the middle-level mainland Xiaoyuanzhou in his travel notes, and the climate was very similar to the low-level continent he was born and raised in.He was skeptical at the time, but now, the answer to the puzzle seems to be being revealed.

——The Battle of Sealing Demons.

Jiang You took a deep breath.At this moment, he suddenly realized that the reason why he was sent into this secret realm might not be just accidental... but something, using this method to reveal a certain terrible truth to him.

The group quickly returned to Floating Cloud City, where they were stationed.

The first thing that catches the eye is a towering and solid city wall.Just getting close, Jiang You could feel a lot of powerful formations drawn on it. Once triggered, a Golden Core cultivator like him might not be able to survive at all.

At the top of the city wall, there stood a team of patrolling guards. The leader was also of Nascent Soul strength, and the people who followed were the lowest of Jindan early stage cultivation.In addition, there are several huge crossbows lined up on the top, and each crossbow is inlaid with many high-grade spirit stones the size of a fist, shining brightly in the sun.

Under this strong will to fight, Yan An's legs were about to fall to his knees as soon as his legs gave way.It was Jiang You who saw his situation and sent a spirit energy into his body, which relieved the fear in his heart.

It wasn't until this time that the Nascent Soul cultivator stationed at the gate of the city finished talking with the patrol team that took him to Floating Cloud City.After getting a general understanding of Jiang You's information and knowing that he saved the child in front of him, he lowered his head and glanced at Jiang You: "You are very good."

Jiang You met the man's eyes.

Although these eyes were extremely calm and indifferent, there was a faint sense of weariness in them.And such eyes are the most common in this battlefield.

In the battle to seal the demon, the monks are at risk.Seeing the relatives and friends around them disappear one by one, no one knows whether they can see the sun of tomorrow again after today.

Every one of them, whenever the truce is free, always has this question in their hearts: When will this protracted war end?Can they continue to live and pursue the avenue of eternal life?Can we still see that Kyushu rebuilds its former prosperity? !

But no one can tell them the answer.

During the decades of confrontation with the demons, even though some people still have the belief that they will win, most people already have a little despair in their hearts.

——They believed in their hearts, the rumored sons of heaven, the rumored immortals who rescued the suffering... Where are they? !

Seeing that Jiang You had no fear at all, and looked at him calmly, the Nascent Soul cultivator twitched his mouth and threw him a jade tablet: "The man should have died in battle, wrapped in horse leather."

"And enter your information in it. If you die after the war is over, someone will bury this jade tablet in the monument without words."

The wordless monument is used to commemorate all the monks who died in the battle to seal the demons.Because there were too many dead people, and most of them could not even preserve their bodies completely, wordless monuments were erected in various areas, and jade plaques inscribed with their information were buried in them for future generations to remember.

It can be regarded as the final glory of all the monks who died quietly in this battle.

Jiang You's thoughts moved slightly.While entering his own information into the jade tablet, he asked, "Excuse me, my lord, are there any monks with the surname 'Ming' in the city?"

"Ming?" The Nascent Soul cultivator frowned slightly, and found the vague figure of that person from his memory, "There is indeed one person."
